Anyone else going to try and not know the result till 8.30pm

[Old bones Ian]

Well i'm out on Saturday night, so it looks like i will try and avoid finding out the result of Froch v Taylor till the replay on ITV at 8.30pm on Sunday

I don't hold out much hope

[MightyWarrior]

Yeah I will definitely Ian, well worth the wait, I'll be looking forward to it all day.

The advice to keep the sound off till they're in the ring is good. Some joker is bound say it's a fight of the year candidate, or something like that, then any early knockdowns, and you KNOW they're getting up and coming back.

[Hagler2002]

I just can't watch a sporting event after its happened, so the answers no.

Good excuse to get bladdered - massive hangover..... in bed/toilet till 8:30. I have a wedding this weekend so that my plan!. Might watch Appelby vs Lyndsay.

[Counter-puncher]

nah, i'm going to listen to it on the radio

[the patriot]

It reminds me of an old Likely Lads episode, where the 2 lads were trying to avoid the result of an England football match (I think)

They got thru the whole day without finding out the result, with a few laughs along the way, only to find the match had been postponed



You wouldn't believe Im only 35

It was a brilliant episode, I saw it years ago and I now have all the DVDs. I remember some of the Ali bouts were shown the following evening on ITV. There was a report in the paper about a man who didnt go to work that day and shut himself in his bedroom until just before the fight. I listened to the early morning news to get the result. Everyone talked about Ali fights so unless you did what that man did you were bound to hear who won. Froch is no Ali so I suppose you could get through the day without hearing the result. I sat down to watch the F1 Grand Prix and the news was just finishing and they bloody well gave the result. Had it been football they would have told you to look away now and just put the result up on the screen.

[failedairman]

no chance of finding out result, my mates are as interested in boxing as i am in gay porn so sunday night will be sending kids to bed, wife to beer shop and dog to garden and watching Froch kick arse

[Old bones Ian]

Problem for me is that i'm at a charity football match on Sunday, so its a fair chance that someone might say the result.
I don't hold out much hope!!

[Gazmac81]

its easily avoided if you dont come on here or sky sports news etc
ill be coming back from poland after the replays so anyone know if its on again on Monday?

to alesser extent i done the same with a Guzman vs campbell ( think it was him ) fight and got up in the sunday afternoon and Setanta was showing some other fight 5 mins after the programme started and i was thinking ive missed it again must have been an early knockout.

Should have known better with Guzman though

[banjo]

I'm not bothered if I know the result before 8:30pm, if I come on the internet I probably couldn't resist a sneak peek anyway.

I will avoid the fight result.....easily!

[deadpan]

Froch won on points. Oh, sorry.

[Captain Hook]

Ho ho ho....

I'm avoiding it so anyone who knows me don't text me before the fight on ITV!

[Chambers2]

Yeah I'll be trying to avoid it, shouldn't be too difficult just keep off the internet and Sky Sports News and possibly any news

[Chris W 1982]

One of my mates will defenitely spoil the result for me. I'll end up checking the result as soon as i wake up i think.

Come on Froch.

[alexpaterson]

Will try to avoid SKY SPORTS news and BOXREC hope i can manage

[failedairman]

just managed it, although my tw*t of a brother in law came walking in tonight and asked what I thought of result, once i told him i would mess him up if he told me (and he's about 50lbs heavier than me so knows i wasn't messing) he pissed off. Have not been so nervous since leeds v coventry FA cup semi in 1998 ish. Nice to see the Cobra listed as Boxrec No1 SMW

[sweetscience]

that was a long day & and im glad i avoided the result

[oliverfennell]

Avoiding fight results is a piece of piss under normal circumstances.

Avoid fellow boxing fans, or at least request in advance that they don't tell you the result. I have found they always respect that.

Do not open any emails or texts from boxing fans.

Do not turn on sports channels, teletext or radio.

DO NOT COME ON BOXREC FORUMS AND CLICK ON THREADS ABOUT THE FIGHT AND THEN COMPLAIN WHEN YOU LEARN THE RESULT.

The last one especially is not exactly rocket science written in Greek, is it? But it happens all the time.

[Chambers2]

I managed to avoid the result, but as someone else has said 'it was a loooonnnnng day'. I had an hourly countdown from 10:30am.

GOOD TIMES!!

[Phenomenal-Nutrition]

I did try but out of habbit clicked on a forum that had the thread title, Taylor's problem was his stamina, which sort of gave it away but I kept telling myself it didnt mean he lost and avoided the result for the rest of the day

[DavidPayne]

Avoided it and was blokey emotional when he was pouring it on because I had him way down. I thought Rob McCracken was word perfect in the corner.
