as a way of remembrance post your favrouite night/fight on setanta i loved the JMM-Diaz fight they pulled it out the hat at the last minute and what a fight it was Darchinyan/Arce is another i got my first shout out on it Captain Hooks last fight where the fan interaction was great is another your guys views?
Can't really pick a best one, but I can remember my first one - it was when they showed Hopkins/Eastman & Witter/N'dou. Ok, not the greatest fights they've shown but I was chuffed being a big B-hop fan.
Haye vs Mormeck Look liked all hope was lost, then Setanta at the last minute pick up the fight, which proves to be Haye's defining fight - unforgettable. Plus Haye telling special guest Enzo that he was moving up in weight and he wann't going to fight him put the icing on the cake!
Too many to pick from. JMM-Pacman II really sticks out for me as I couldn't wait for it at the time but I think the best way of judging it is by looking at how many night were crap on Setanta- NONE. If one of the fights turned out to be a bit of an anti-climax (a rareity) then the show was still entertaining enough as a whole anyway to still enjoy. Like I said though, it's impossible to pick. There were some great domestic dust ups and obviously week after week of huge international fights. They will be missed.
you picked great ones there gpater you were a great supporter of the boxing on setanta too...fair play to you fella.
Same i thought that was there first one but Gaz says they had Eastman vs Hopkins i can't remember that to be honest.
For me it has to be Haye v Mormeck. I wasn't a subscriber until I realised they got the rights at the very last minute. (Heard it on here, of course). Well happy with how that night went...... For the Calzaghe v Kessler fight I was away at a friend's house with no Setanta. I casually enquired how long it would take (hypothetically speaking) to subscribe, (hint, hint). 20 minutes later the boxing was on. Another great Setanta evening.
Yep I was cheering for Margo too which made it even better. 1. Haye vs Mormeck 2. Margo vs Cotto 3. Haye vs Enzo And countless more that I have not listed.
cheers i like the interation a chance to get abit of fame i love gloating to my family too and then saying all the guys who post on ESB as they get shouted out
Yeah, I think it was before Setanta became a subscription channel and you had to get it PPV, just the one event. It was before Setanta became the incarnation we all knew and loved, before the Bunce era. It was a pretty **** broadcast, just a live feed from the arena with no presenters, analysis, etc. Just the fights and that's it. But it was still boxing and any boxing on is cool by me.
