But isn't this a week late? Those muthafuckers can suck my cock. Cheap ass bitches, a rich company like Sky not getting these fights the next day is pathetic and cheap. An insult, why should the fans settle for these pathetic scraps? Oh praise be, thank you Sky for putting on live mismatches on Friday nights then giving us the most exciting fight of the year on a week delay. Does showing it the next morning cost that much? More than the bowls, windsailing and all the other shit they show.

I agree, although I think Morales will win in about 8.

I was one of the few that thought that Morales beat Barrera in their last fight. Watching the fight I thought Barrera had just done enough to win, but when I added up my score card I was a little suprised to find I had Morales a 1 point winner.

That means I disagreed with the verdicts of all three Morales V Barrera fights.

He is right, we get low class operators like Gomez getting battered around the ring by some unknown Argie and Scott Harrison stopping an inept Ethiopian in one round both live but the elite top quality bouts are virtually ruined by being shown a week later. What happened to showing them the next morning on a Sunday? SKY are a waste of space sometimes.

I see where you're both coming from, but Sky have no obligation to show these fights. I'm thankful we've got them at all, all too often a great fight slips past without so much as a result read out on Sky sports news. Obviously I'd prefer not to have to wait a week, but it's better than nothing.
