I'm sure they will now they're not working to the tight timescales they were before Froch-Dirrell. I'm presuming Ward-Kessler wasn't on Virgin then?

I think primetime get a lot of flak, yet the signal problem was down to Sky.

Apparently they were saying that the reason people's screens were blank, was that they didnt hang up the phone from ordering it and then put the card back in the machine in time before the activation signal was sent out by Sky.

Smells like cobblers from sky if you ask me.

super 6 is great because there is the opportunity to rebound.

but perhaps ppl have figured kessler out by now. he hasn't changes his style. he's been an excellent boxer but in every fight he's been the same. he has such a reliable style but quick stylists can find a way around him.

by contrast, look at tomasz adamek. this guy had a disastrous night vs chad dawson. he had the wrong trainer, was at the wrong weight, vs a bad style/tricky southpaw. he lost momentum from his 2 outstanding wars with paul briggs, and lost his WBC title.

but he came back, got back with the right trainer. got a promoter who kept him active and moved up to cruiser where he was faster and fitter. he won an IBF elim v former 200-lb champ o'neil bell. then he beat steve cunningham - a fighter more similar to chad dawson in strengths and weaknesses than any other top fighter, (though dawson is lefty and cunningham righty). adamek wins a fierce nip and tuck fight, scoring 3 crucial knockdowns, to take Ring mag & IBF cruiserweight titles in what Ring mag hailed as the best cruiserweight fight since Holyfield-Qawi 1.

Adamek has shown adjustments, has faced different styles and has a serious chance of landing a heavyweight title shot at david haye and maybe becoming a 3 weight world champ. I think Adamek should be used as an example of a fighter (especially an upright, euroepan one), who showed he could change.
