it will be time to come to London for a EBU-title fight, J. but the only chance i see is Williams maybe vs Hoffmnn when Luan lays the belt down.

look me up if you do mate.

In fairness I predicted Klitschko KO1.

People called me stupid, but they weren't calling me stupid 30 seconds into the fight.

never heard anyone so pleased to be seven rounds out with a prediction

first of all there must be a real good heavy weight fight in London and that´s not easy nowadays. Skelton-Harrison wouldn´t be the one.

You don't fancy bolton then?

not far enough joking not that far. 3-4 hours i think.

will there be a good fight or is james just joking?

However, it's worth the journey, being one of the most picturesque and attractive towns in the country, not to mention it's unique microclimate which sees it often compared with the maldives.

in a football stadium? that would be cool.

At 4.00am in Bolton, I'd say bleedin' freezin' would be more accurate.

Great atmosphere though, wonder how many people they would get there, imagine if it was 40,000, that would be some bloody fight. From the back of a football ground though, you'd see fornicate all, would have to get expensive tickets.

Only thing putting me off is the expense, 40 quid on a train, plus hotel, booze, and ticket, you're looking at a couple of hundred sheets at least.

Read yesterday FW is sayign it will be early hours but not 4 am.

a.m. means in the morning?

how much will a good ticket cost?

the main problem for me would be the high possibility that allegedly Mr. Warren or god or whoever cancels the fight........

Think they are trying to get a little wiggle room with Showtime, understandably, it's going to be hard logistically to stage at 4.00 am, transport will be a nightmare if people are arriving after midnight, and how on earth are you going to do it earlier, either you'd have a mammoth fight card which costs more money, or you'd have to lay on some sort of entertainment before the fights to keep people there.

Either way, it's a fornicating great night of boxing whenever it's held, this could be one of the best years in as long while for British boxing. We could have quite a few title challenges in the near future theoretically at least.

If we take Tyson vs Nielsen as an example, that card took 8 hours, I think it was 14 fights, it should be impossible for Warren to have an all boxing card starting at 9pm? He just has to put some competetive fights that goes the distance.

What time did the fight air local time? Was that a PPV?

It was a PPV, £45 or so. I think Tyson vs Nielsen was around 11.30 PM but not sure. First fight started at 6PM and the last one ended a bit over 2 am. There were surprisingly many left for the last fight but it could be that they wanted to see everything since the tickets were expenssive, the cheapest were around £95.

Yeah big difference between 11.30 and 04.00 am....must have been a delayed telecast in the USA then.
