    Just thought I'd give my appreciation to the show they put on in Berlin! I was watching the fight from the UK on Setanta and was firstly surprised and really impressed to see the pussycat dolls in the ring doing a performance before the fight and then those holograms of Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson, Foreman etc giving their support to Klitschko. Buzzed off it, the excitement was already really building up and the atmosphere in Germany sounded top but most importantly Vitali gave a great come back performance, I felt made up for him. Must have been some party after it. Would love to go and see a Klitschko fight in Germany after that, especially Vitali, versus Haye and I'll be over in a shot! At this point I don't think Haye wins but I'd still love to see it :good

    Something unique and one of a kind in Germany that night, amazing and unforgettable. They sure know how to treat a quality event in Germany.

    agree good show but the undercard for this fight sucked bigtime

    Fight like this should have 1 or 2 great undercard fight live in tv

    great show but beside the main fight only mediocre event

    Not only did Showtime drop the ball by showing this delayed, they also didn't show any of this amazing and theatrical entrance which featured five of the best and most known heavyweight champions from the last four decades.

    As if that was not enough, they also had **** poor commentating during the fight.

    I prefer Lampley and Merchant, even with their shortcomings, ten to one over Steve Farhood and that other guy who called the Vitali fight for Showtime. Some of the most lackluster, hum drum commentating I've ever heard, especially considering the historic effort that Vitalt put on.

    Terrible commentating, lame decision to not show it live, as well as not showing that amazing entrance..

    :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

    Its clear to see why HBO is head and shoulders above Showtime when it comes to boxing.

    i watched the Setanta broadcast live. It was pure class. Showtime doesn't have the quality for events of this magnitude

    :lol: I agree, I actually changed the channel back to the football qualifiers during their performance. These pussies just look and sound so cheap, definitely not my cup of tea.
