Haye v Thompson know the result or watch it next day

I don't know if i'm going to watch the fight on saturday without knowing the result(more enjoyable) or find out the result when it happens.

It's the perennial dilemma.

In the past I've had my parents tape Sky fights and post them on to me.

I endeavour to avoid the results, which isn't always easy, given my teletext/radio5/internet habits.

Then thanks to our spakkked up postal service the tape takes three days to get there.

Personally if i cant see the fight live then i will check the result to see whether it's worth watching or not

BBC only show highlights anyway... skip half of the action

Oh, at least they are showing the undercard - although if my memory is correct, its not a great card.

J · Post by J » 06 Sep 2004, 11:09

dunno greenberg and krence are on it. delaney also, with barney on the undercard too.

not that bad. ive seen worse.

Priff · Post by **Priff** » 06 Sep 2004, 12:26

Wait till next day, definately.

Although the problem with a reply like this is that you work out info about the fight by the organisation of the covreage.
if it's a 30 minute slot, but they start with 10 minutes build up, and show it from round 1, you know it's not going beyond 3, so some of the 'unknown' gets lost there.

Hello guys!
I am not from England. I saw David Haye once, he fought Artur King but I never saw Carl Thompson in action. So my question is Carl Thompson has a chance in this upcoming fight or not at all?

Ask Sebastien Rothman.

Seriously tho I would be suprised to see the Cat come out on top.

Haye IMO is outstanding and has the skills and attitude to take over the division.

I must admit Id probably prefer to nail my bollox to the table than sit through 90 mins of wolves vs wigan.

sorry steve but had to be said, each to their own and all that, but wolves wigan, sheesh.

lirva33 · Post by **lirva33** » 07 Sep 2004, 10:50

Joke.

That's why I hate the BBC.

Show the **** fight live! It's ridiculous b/c I know I won't be able to wait for it plus, I'm in work on Saturday all day.

BBC should get the **** out of boxing.

silkov · Post by **silkov** » 07 Sep 2004, 12:10

I used to support the beebs coverage of boxing but no more!... their faliure to show the Haye vs Thompson clash live is simply inexcuseable!!!... they're just talking the micky now... should the fight last more than 6 rounds they probably won't even show it in full!... far as I'm concerned the bloody beeb can stick their incompetent boxing coverage up its little bottom where no one can see it! ....best place for it I think! 8) .

I'd rather not see them show any boxing than have them piss me off. They show their boxing at times I can hardly ever watch it at.

What happens if Thompson Haye lasts a fair bit??? I'd be well pissed off and I don't need that. They should stay away from the sport because they don't do it any favours to be honest.

As a Celtic fan maybe you can enlighten me, is Henri Camamara any good because so far, from what ive seen he looks like a 3 legged donkey who couldnt score in a barrell of fannies

I would put cash on him being back at Wolves after the loan expires.

What do you think of Kenny Miller?

I know a prime time slot is unrealistic but I was hoping they might show a repeat of the whole fight even if it was after midnight as they did with Gatti and Dorin I had a look and on BBC two they only have News 24 on then anyway, but never mind have to go out and get pissed instead :P

Miller is alright when he puts his mind to it, Camara couldn't hit a barn door for us early in the season but then he became okay, then pre-season he decided he was too good for us and the money grabbing, high and mighty c**t walked out and refused to play for us again...so basically your welcome to him

And WTF is Jasper Carrot still doing on television?
