Steve Barnes debut John O'Donnell & Bernard Dunne - ITV4 Now

Exactly what is says on the tin. Looking forward to seeing Barnes, quite a buzz about him for a 17 year old.

Well, unfortunately the six seconds or so they showed you couldn't tell us much
Maybe I'm biased, but I don't understand showing so many rounds from a distinctly average undercard fight when ITV could have been using it to 'build' Barnes as a prospect to follow. Poor decision-making in my opinion.

There's still time to build him up. It was good that they showed the card, but I think it was mainly because of the Hennessy-Peters connection and the fact that Froch was based in Castlebar. I was also enthused that they would show Barnes but the six seconds was enough for them!

The only downside was the orange jumpered chancer sitting at ringside scribbling away

Yeah, I wondered why they showed that bill- I'm not complaining- it is always good to see boxing on TV, but I think the point of that show was to do a promo/preview for "The Cobra!"

I enjoyed the coverage, a welcome suprise - hope its not the last of ITV4 doing delayed coverage of bills. Hope maybe they'll show some US/German stuff in future.

Glad they showed the whole of the Dunne fight, and a fair chunk of the O Donnell fight.
