Sky Sports 1, at 10pm. The Cook vs Lauri matchroom show has been pulled from the schedule and replaced by delayed coverage of Manny Pacquaio vs Oscar Larrios. Keep it coming, Sky

Don't miss this, you prob already know result but still, nice to see Pacquiao in action he;s come a long way. Plus the homecrowd in Manila were unbelievable, hope it shines through Sky's coverage, never heard anything like it. Oh and the fight was good too.

Torrents take too long.

I rely on forums that use megaupload to download them.

Too long? What sort of connection do you have?

The torrents of worldboxingvideoarchive download pretty quickly, I've downloaded full fights in 15-20 minutes at times.

Do you have to watch live on stream Lvark? Or can you hook up a DVD recorder to your PC & set timer?

Took hours for me.

Can;t copy them to disc either like I do with other uploads as they take too much space!

I got broadband.

It will be fun to see McGirt and Pryor Jnrs going at it!

I am also curious to see Terrible Tim's cousin - if he can fight like Tim he could go along way in the current climate.

Wasn't Paez refused entry into the US? I thought he was stopped at customs and so couldnt fight?

Shud be interesting viewing all the same..

I don't think I have seen the Paez result.

Looking forward to this one, heard some positive things about Chazz Witherspoon.

The streams are live yes, and not usually repeated. I've never tried hooking up DVD to PC, sometimes I use TV out from PC to video & record them to tape. Stopped doing that as much now tho' since I can usually download an excellent copy of whole show from that torrent site.

Oh yeh and Max, you wont get much faster speeds than that torrent site, if you wait half of the leechers are done downloading, then you will get full speed. You might of tried downloading a fight with only a few seeders. (uploaders)

JimJim · Post by **JimJim** » 04 Jul 2006, 12:56

Steve Bunce has raved about Chazz - he claims the young prospect is world championship material. Mind you, that just might be the kiss of death

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 04 Jul 2006, 13:04

Bunce raved about Audley Harrison.

lvlarc · Post by **lvlarc** » 08 Jul 2006, 09:23

Anyone catch this then? Notice how Pacquiao has progressed, and what did you think of atmosphere?
