Post by Chris W 1982 »

What station will screen the upcoming fight between Hopkins and Eastman? Apparantly Carl Froch is fighting on the undercard.

If any in the UK then it would have to be the BBC.

Since i think they show both Eastman and Froch fights.

So wont be any live coverage, possibly early hours of the monday morning.

I don't know if the Beeb will have the money although it's not a huge fight I suppose it's abouit the same level as Hopkins v Joppy, and Hopkins isn't a huge draw.

Where did you get the information about Froch, that is good news I think the yanks would like his style. If hennassy can swing it that would be a good chance for Witter to show that he is a different fighter than the one who fought Zab.

I think maybe Charles Brewer would be a suitable opponent for the cobra. A risky fight would be against Omar Sheika but a win against him would make him massive in the states. Exciting times for the Hennessy camp, lets just hope the bbc carry on to support them.

Yes, this is a great opportunity for Carl to shine, and they are looking for a good opponent for Carl too.

Indeed I think fans are starting to appreaciate a promotional outfit that do right by the fans and test their fighters against the best. If Hennassy keeps up this level of performance the should be no way the BBC can drop them, they certainly get value for money.

A british fighter a genuin contender for a real title who would have thunk it

How come the BBC show Eastman when he's fighting nobodies, and not so when the biggest fight in years comes his way.
