good variety there. i'm pleased with that. Will be good to see N'dou and St Clair fighting on the same card. Pair of pretty good African Ozzies. Hoping that N'dou batters Maligaggi.

looking forward to the next german show as well.

Mutley is not necessarily fighting at the Wolverhampton Civic. There are another couple of venues in the frame. I was talking to the joint promoter, PJ Rowson, only yesterday and he said that Sky had only just been to the Civic to have a look round when it was announced.

Tom Podmore.

Some nice fights there, good stuff.

Am I the only person on this whole forum who enjoys watching Paulie Malignaggi box (there again, I was always a Hector Camacho fan as well, pretty similar styles)???

Paulie should have some new fans after the Cotto fight.

Compare this schedule to that of ITV

I'm looking forward to Antonio Margarito v Paul Williams - Should be a cracker.

Berrio-Häussler is off!
By Daniel Hiller
The scheduled June 23 title fight in Zwickau, Germany between IBF super middleweight champion Alejandro Berrio and Danilo Häussler has imploded. According to the Tuesday edition of the "Märkische Oderzeitung," the bout was tabled due to differences between promoter Sauerland Event and Berrio's management. "I've now been a professional for ten years and have always worked for a world title fight," said Häussler (29-3, 7 KOs). "It was finally so close - and now this. I can't say how bitter and disappointed I am."

Was looking forward to that on sky too.

No, I like to watch him too, would not find many prospects out there with a big enough pair to gun for Cotto

Setana are showing adverts between programmes saying theyre showing it, or so ive heard.

states · Post by **states** » 05 Jun 2007, 09:03

They are showing it, it's on the schedule on their website.

Not bad, a couple of duds in there but can't complain.

Great news re Cotto/Judah - so as far as I can make out, you sign on for the Hatton fight for £15, and get two months trial free, plus Cotto fight.

Be interesting to see what other fights they pick up - showing some sense with their two choices this year - the Hatton & Cotto angle ( not that it'll ever happen of course )

Whereas Sky make some weird choices sometimes.
