I think it's on BN. Not sure if it's also on BT. I patched BN a while back as there wasn't anything worthwhile being shown. I won't be resubscribing for this although it's a fight that interests me.

Cheers. I also got rid of it as all the good fights were on BT. Hope it is on BT as well if it is on BN

Nothing showing on the Sky Sports Box Office website for this as yet, or social media, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Showed up on my news feed last night mate. Was either the Guardian or the Independent. There's nothing actually on Sky yet though. I'm just looking to see if i can find it again. I'm sure i read somewhere else it was on BN last week! Fukk knows what's happening with it. Maybe i'm going doolally

[Stuarty]

On the Evening Standard website. Deffo says it's on SSBO.....

[MightyWarrior]

Yeah they're adding it on to go with the shite card they are showing in UK that night I guess..

Fight seems far too soon for Kov, after the Yarde fight just gone...

You reckon they're gonna try and sell that pissy card over here and the Kov fight as a package? That UK card was meant to be on normal Sky.... Nothing surprises me with these cûnts anymore man!

Nightmare!

Seems like they fought last week.

No the bag o shite Hearn card will be “free” so they can trailer the canelo fight every few minutes ...endlessly

Exactly this.

[Ruthless-RKO]

The NSAC went with executive director Bob Bennett’s recommendation and approved Russell Mora as the referee for their 12-round fight.

The NSAC also approved New York’s Julie Lederman, Nevada’s Dave Moretti and Connecticut’s Don Trella as the judges for the Alvarez-Kovalev fight at its monthly meeting Wednesday in Las Vegas.

Nevada judges Tim Cheatham, Eric Cheek, Lisa Giampa, Patricia Morse Jarman and Glenn Trowbridge, Connecticut’s Glenn Feldman and New Jersey’s Steve Weisfeld were among those Bennett also considered recommending to work the Alvarez-Kovalev fight.

Why’s Krusher agreed to fight so soon after a gruelling fight with Has he even had a proper camp ? Sadly for fans of his we know the answer, he’s taken a fight his ageing body can no longer win for a retirement fund. Nout wrong with that but it’ll be sad to see.

Yeah, shame.
The age, the Yarde fight, the 40 days - he's not going to be at his best is he.

We all talk about Kovalev being weak, old (while he has demolished two tough, powerful guys in Yarde and Eleider), however, has Canelo really that much power to hurt him? Kov is no Rocky Fielding and Nelo is not Yarde. Also, Krusher's jabs will be felt, judges or not

[DrDuke]

Kovalev can work from the distance better, than Golovkin and Jacobs. His jab will make Canelo's gameplan fall apart. Kovalev obviously knows, that he won't be given a victory by the judges, so he'll be sharper later and stop Canelo.

[handsofstone]

This fights fairly snuck up on me, surprising for such a big fight, i can see the method in Canelo's madness here, fair enough Kovalev is the most experienced Light Heavyweight out there, showed in the Alvarez rematch and against Yarde he's still a force, his skills are still solid and he showed good resistance and finishing against Yarde, his jab was outstanding that night, even KO'ing Yarde with it in the end, its the shot he's gonna need more than any other against Alvarez

Alvarez has a superb jab himself as he showed last time against Jacobs in a fight i personally thought he dominated overall, his jab will be crucial as well but his body shots will be the punches I'm expecting to see break Kovalev down with and i think that's what he'll do, it'll surely be the main objective to break Kovalev down to the body as he's seen to be vulnerable down there, it might prove too big a step for Canelo but i think he's skilled enough to pull it off, maybe a late stoppage

[MightyWarrior]

I’ve never known a near super fight stacked so heavily in one fighters favour, with the other boxer getting so little time to prepare, it’s ridiculous.
