Not seen anything on eurosport for a while, but Five US and ESPN classics have boxing on them.

442 (ESPN Classics) has classic fights on every day, lately involving Eubank and Lewis....

Tuesday and Thursdays is the regular days.... but there hasn't been anything I don't think since the new year. There has been other sports that Eurosport obviously take priority with.

There is an hour long broadcast on Eurosport 2 tonight.

Tuesday is often live stuff, (lots of Lukas Konecny etc), Thursday usually is the taped day - world title bills from Germany and the states. Often show some Frank Maloney stuff origianally broadcast on Sky, but show the undercard fights in full.

Just checking boxrec and Herbie Hide could feature on a live bout in March.

I knew it was posted here that it was going to be on, but I couldn't find it in the schedules - damn I missed that one.

Hey some of the heavyweight explosions were really fun to watch! Davaryll Williamson stopping Kevin Mcbride, Williamson ko'ing Correy Sanders after being on queer street himself, Correy Sanders ko'ing Maskaev after taking a pounding for 8 odd rounds. Fun times!

The Fight Channel (previously the Wrestling Channel) is starting to show some boxing.

Thats right. I was flicking through last night and saw they were showing Julian Letterlough against Dana Rucker. Letterlough finished that fight in typical brutal fashion.

Colin Dunne v one of my old faves Billy Schwer. Very welcome.

Strange how no one ever mentions Billy anymore; its not that long since he was in his pomp and he was such a smooth, well schooled but exciting boxer at Euro level. Without his fragile skin he may have even gone further..

Look forward to seeing more classic action like this on Fight Network!

Think it was Terrence Cauthen vs someone. 1 of those crappy local interest fights from Florida.

It was Cauthen v 'Iron Horse' Sechew Powell - admittedly its a fight they have shown before, but I thought you would have been interested in seeing a prospect and proposed future foe of Jamie Moore?..

Eurosport was a lot better when they had the good old Virgil Kalokoda WBI Intercontinental title fights.

Nice to see Sky finally pull out there moth bitten wallet and buy some international action for their subscribers.

Wlad Klitschko v Sultan Ibagimov will be shown live. Nice

Looks like Secondsout.com have aborted their attempt to exclusively host Klitschko fights live in the UK.

Good,

No disrespect to Secondsout - but I think they would be better off getting cheaper fights that UK TV would not be interested in.

I reckon the numbers will be similar - just the hardcore few who don't mind paying to watch boxing in an office... and their cost would be a lot lower.
