The boxing this weekend - can't see a thread. . .

[bfccrazy]

I'll give it a whirl tomorrow before tuning into the clarets.

Is there a particular sports link on Zem you use as I watched on mama hd before and 1 game was excellent, the other buffered and froze every 2 or 3 minutes aswell as kicking me out half a dozen times.

I'm thinking of getting a hard wired box soon as people say it's far better quality than using WiFi and firestick .

I only use the stick for Burnley away games if I dont go, and pay per view boxing , but the quality is very hit and miss

MamaHD usually works for me very well.

.Adrian. Is good too if you google hpw to load that on there as I'm not sure what repo it is.

The football today add on is BRILLIANT for highlights though too.

The weigh in was interesting. Although, it makes me believe haye will have even more control than I imagined.

Bellew looked nothing like himself.

[bfccrazy]

It'll all come down to if Bellew can take Hayes shots and still have enough left to take the fight to him after 3/4 rounds.

Think Haye will find it tougher than a lot of people think and Bellew could come out like Groves did against Froch and shake him up a bit.

[Flatline]

Heavyweight boxers tend not to have great physiques,you'd say the best one's never did and the weight advantage never bothered Tyson.Will be interesting how it pans out,hopefully a proper boxing match for a change.

[gawthorpe_view]

Does anyone know what time the main event is scheduled to start?, I'm not interested in the build up and the undercard.

Tyson was a freak though. He was hard as nails which allowed him to get on the inside and take the fight to opponents. This minimises their swing and also allowed him to work the body and land some big shots of his own.

[bobinho]

Tyson was a freak, agreed. A force of nature and in the right hands was unstoppable. Didn't need to gob off pre-fight, his opponents watched him and were rightly feared. The look on that young mans face when throwing and landing punches was scary.
Should've/could've/would've become the best heavyweight the world had ever seen, if he'd just managed to stay away from Don King.

Haye to win and no payment needed as its on sportsmania

[wilks_bfc]

I know it's on sportsmania and some will be watching via that (myself included) but other people may not want to go down that route

Was just putting out a bit of info that I'd found

(And payment is still needed for sportsmania)

[bfc1984]

A complete farce is this one! So haye is co commentating at the side of the ring on bellew's last fight,all of sudden there was a kick off between them after Bellew had won.It was a complete set up if you ask me,they both just thought let's make that few extra million each for a big fight and pretend to fall out.Lets face it they will both be earning 4or5 times as much for this rather than a unknown fighter.They where both previously friendly and have sparred together,it's s complete joke really.But many will pay for it and get mugged,surely haye will knock him out after a early surge by Bellew.I for one will watch but I certainly will not be paying for it!Like previous posts have said I can't stand the pair of them.

Does anyone know what time the main event is scheduled to start?, I'm not interested in the build up and the undercard.

I think the programme starts at 6pm, so the fight probably around 10.30pm.

[Funkydrummer]

I think radio 5 said they were covering the event, live, from 10 o'clock.

I could check their website, but can't be ar$ed.

[Funkydrummer]

Go on then, I've checked their site and the show starts at 10, and there is another programme scheduled for 11.30.

So, anytime it is then between 10 and 11.30, probably 10.30 at a guess as per FF.

[mkmel]

I have Sportsmania so is it not free on there?

[Funkydrummer]

I have Sportsmania so is it not free on there?

Yes it should be, all the others that I have watched on there have been.

If not, I'll have summat to say.

[DCWat]

There can't be many other sports where it's so difficult to know the time that the main event starts, it's always the same.

We know how long a fight can last and if they end early, there is enough entertainment at the venue or analysis / discussion for the TV viewer to stick to a planned timeframe.

If it's because no one will watch the undercards and therefore less advertising revenue (can't think of another reason) stick some better undercards on.

[Winstonswhite]

Why anyone would pay to watch two non-heavyweights fight at heavyweight is beyond me.

The buildup has been a complete embarrassment and everyone who pays for it has basically been conned.

[bfccrazy]

If it's because no one will watch the undercards and therefore less advertising revenue (can't think of another reason) stick some better undercards on.

This is something that Hearn spoke about in the interview I mentioned earlier in the thread.

The boxers now run their own event and pay for it so a lot of them want the most money they can have. I think it was Eubank Jnr he complained about wanting to cut the purse of the undercard whilst still charging top ticket prices etc .....

The Garcia fight in America tonight is the one that should be getting boxing fans excited - not these two bellends.

[Dyched]

It's all gone a bit WWF. I'm half expecting stone cold steve austin to enter the ring with a steal chair.

[Right_winger]

There's some decent fights on the under card.

The most intriguing being Eggington Malignaggi.

I'd expect Malignaggi to piece up Eggington like Skeete did, however I the size difference could be an issue for Pauli. Iv got to be honest Eggington ****** me off when he beat Shayne Singleton. He's a tough kid though.

Haye Bellew won't last too long, maybe a bit of fannying around for a few rounds but when Bellew makes a slight error it's game over.

I think he's suggesting that because you pay for sportsmania then therefore it isn't technically 'free', Mel.

Im assuming Mel was referring to my comment and yes that is what I was meaning

[FactualFrank]

Bump

[Geoff]

Jesus. Katie Taylor is scary.

[wilks_bfc]

You wouldn't come home and ask her why your tea isn't ready

[LawsCanalJump]

When will it begin?

[Right_winger]

I'm sure you all would love to give Katie a good pounding in the ring.

And yes she looked frighteningly good.

[wilks_bfc]

When will it begin?

Up next. Ringwalk scheduled at 10:30
