The Hearns KO of Cuevas is simply awesome.

I haven't seen Arguello-Olivares before so will be setting the video for this one.

Nice one Christopher. C5 put some good boxing on.

[MightyWarrior]

What a brilliant lineup - 4 legends in one night. Hearns/Cuevas got me started me down this road to ruin..

I have a question relating to C5 boxing. When they show the likes of Eubank vs Benn, they show the screensport version. If I'm not mistaking screensport was an earlier version of Eurosport and had Dave Bremmner, Barry McGuigan and Jim MacDonnell in the commentary. Thats all fine, I can vaguely remember them showing the ITV fights, untill it shut down.

But, of course C5 have been showing the screensport version of Brodie vs Jorrin, and fights involving Ayes and Khaliq. How is this the "screensport" version, when the station has close long before these fights. Anybody know.

Are these official matchroom packages, like Fifa do when you see the old world cup replays. Are these available to buy? Any body know the deal?

Another relating question, how come Barry was commentating for screensport when he was apparently exclusive to ITV at the time (he was the unofficial judge).

Any answer.

my friend look at

i started a while back

It answers some of the questions, but doesn't answer how come 5 showed Brodie fights - cause Screensport was closed by then, and there was no pro-box. Yet, this was apparently pro-box's presentation of Brodie vs Jorrin.

Pro Box is an 'international' version of the SKY shows. We get it here in Australia. Usually hosted by Dave Brennar and often has Dave McAuley co-commentating. I assume they buy the rights to the SKY shows then package them to sell internationally. They are usually a month or so old when aired here.

Cheers, that answers my questions.

Saw most of the Arguello-Olivares fight, round 7 was brilliant. Olivares was a former bantamweight champ, and Arguello was a 5'10 featherweight, the size difference was amazing, it didn't look right. Anyway great fight!
