Any idea what time Ward-Bika is due?
Haha, same here.

Not sure of the time. I'd imagine around 4 AM.

So it will likely clash with Marquez-Katisidis? Sky have served up some good fights recently but I can't see how they passed on that one. Or anyone else for that matter.

Both fights are in the same time zone. As I say, though, I don't know for sure.

I ordered the stream tonight. Picture quality was very good. Andy Kerr was not on form, looked very tired, and struggled at times, although Duke, Groves and Barker aren't the most charismatic they came across well. Big Ron as commentator was disappointing, think I would prefer the showtime feed next time.

a few people on the forum bawked at the TV line-up and commentary team. Being from the north east I've seen Kerr from when he was a young lad reporting on local football and what have you, I never could really take him seriously as a boxing anchorman as I thought he was just basically a sports journo who knew a lot less about the sport than me and most people on this forum.....however....that aside, I disagree with your comments (as well as Glynn Leach's) , I thought Andy did a cracking job, he's come on leaps and bounds and his banter/ questions/ general manner were good. I also have always been a Mckenzie fan and it was interesting to hear Groves and Barker's views too..........don't forget, Groves predicted the bloody outcome correctly, Duke didn't give Froch a chance. More than satisfactory team for me. :D

I thought Andy Kerr did very well, composed and knowledgeable. George Groves provided astute comments from the studio.

Ronald McIntosh knows his stuff, he's a genuine boxing man, but I found his commentary generally too animated, even in the undercard fights. As soon as the boxers starting exchanging Ron starting yapping and got faster and faster to the point of irritation. He's still young though and I'm sure he can improve with more opportunities and at least he's passionate behind the mic.

Ronald was way over the top. Abraham was never in any danger of getting stopped. Yet Ronald kept saying "oh he is there for the taking now" way too many times.
