Boxing documentary The Fight repeated from tonight

[chrisfinch]

The excellent HBO documentary series "The Fight" which was first shown over here on BBC2 a few years ago finally gets a set of repeats on Yesterday (Sky 537, Virgin 203) tonight at 10pm, and an hour later on Yesterday +1 (Sky 538).

I remember watching the second series of it and really enjoying it, but it just has never really been repeated since so its definitely worth checking out if you haven't seen it yet. Lots of fantastic old stories and controversies.

Seems to be on every weekday night for presumably however many episodes of it there are.

Superb doc. I have them on DVD and watch them regularly.

If you haven't seen them, watch them.

Cheers for the heads up.

Will have a look at that this evening.

How many episodes were there to this?

[Poncey]

3 or 4. Red Dragon has them for sale.

If it is the series I am thinking off it was made by BBC bristol not HBO (might be wrong though)

4 x 1 hour docs based on following fights

Joe Louis v Max Schmelling
La Motta v Robinson
Ali v Frazier (3)
Lewis v Tyson

The docs are not used specificaly on the fights but the fights highlighted above are used to illustarte the wider social issues surrounding boxing and the period that they took place...
