At a fiver, I was considering buying this, but at £2.50 I definitely will. Hardly anything for a (hopefully) top quality stream wih no worries of it cutting out like the dodgy ones might.

Anybody from SO, will secondsout be purchasing more of the big US fights that sky don't pick up?

I'd definitely pay £2.50 a time for the big fights.

Same here. And if there's a good undercard, a fiver is fine. This fight tonight, though, doesn't have much to interest me on the undercard (the Banks fight is OK, I guess).

Has anyone used their Boxrec membership to order this fight for £2.50 ?

How does that work, can someone just join Boxrec and than go and get 50% off at secondsout ?

RTE (Dunne feed) are very good. I've never had a problem with them.

Hmmmm...yeah, I can't remember having any problems for Dunne-Cordoba. And what a fight!

I got huge pauses in the acion while the commentary continued!!

Yeah, what a fight! I do remember a sense of bitterness on here in certain quarters, they seemed more intent on saying that Dunne 'wasnt a real champ' rather than lauding one of the fights of the year!

What a brave effort by Cristobal, must have been a sickener walking into those heavy Klitchko hands all night, but he kept trying all the way and really gave it to Vitali at times - hardest fight he's had in years.

Showed a GREAT chin too, Klitch may not be a huge puncher, but the Mexican warrior was still standing after taking the type of shots that had Danny Williams thinking the roof just fell in.

Glad the ref did the right thing and saved him for another day, it's a serious business taking shots like that off a man the size of Klitchko all night long.
Areola/Haye was talked about awhile back, well I think Cristo showed last night he'd likely take the best DH has to offer & grind him down.

That is one tough hombre...could be we'll eventualy have a beer drinking tequila shooting Mexican heavyweight champ. Now that has got to be a good thing.

It's just a shame that Arreola couldn't have built up proper ring fitness from one fight to the next. This must have been a humbling experience. He looked considerably better than Vitali's other challengers. A tough, talented, strong fighter. Just wasn't fast enough on the trigger, just was slightly out of range.

Really enjoyed Vitali's last 3 fights. He's the real heavyweight champ, not his brother.

Haye versus Arreloa is a match I'd love to see - two colourful characters and bound to be explosive. Would be a great gauge of Haye's ability to operate at heavyweight... depending on the manner in which he comes through the Valuev test of course.

If Arreola can take digs from Vitali, won't he be able to take them from Haye?

Would Arreola knock Haye out?

I think if Haye can't knock Arreola out he'd be in big trouble. Arreola has been hurt with fast straight shots - can't remmeber the guy's name. It was a 3 or 4 round thriller where Arreola was hurt, then rallied to score an early win. Haye can throw those kind of shots better.

Vitali is very methodical, and it's the accumulation of solid jabs and right hands - as well as the odd uppercut - that seems to break these guys down. I think Haye's individual punch is more explosive, the impact more sudden (dirty harry pun of the day) than ol' Fish Face (Vitali opens his mouth while punching, making him look like a fish), who can arm punch a bit.

Against Travis Walker. That fight was really entertaining. Walker's a big puncher.

If you believe the rumours, Haye has apparently knocked Arreola down and hurt him in sparring.

Arreola was tailer made for Klitschko a little come forward fighter who doesnt have a great defence. As for the Haye arguement it would be a great fight very close and exciting with big shots landing I see an Arreola KO win late but it would be a cracker

Very interesting - any way to substantiate them as I haven't heard that before?

Haye has a different type of power.

This one might be a case of who lands a big bomb first.

Haye's speed and explosive power (and weak chin), against Arreola's Grit and heavy hands (and lack of defence).

Nope. That's why it's a rumour. :P

I've just performed a quick search and found this: http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=17896&more=1
It does seem as though Haye and Arreola's paths have a good chance of crossing (they already have, and if you can believe the rumours Haye got the better of Arreola in a heated sparring session some months back) so clearly are they the two best young big men coming through right now.

yeah that's the one. walker threw some really quick shots, that really stunned arreola. and haye can certainly throw faster, cleaner shots than those. just imagine if the right that destroyed gurov landed on arreola. or some of those left hooks that appeared out of nowhere, to repeatedly drop barrett. the question for me is whether haye could keep him down, could finish arreola. i don't think haye could go a hard 12 with arreola. kill or be killed, for want of a better expression.

can haye go a hard 12 with valuev? he may have to if he wants to defeat ol' Iron Head. Valuev KO at 9/2 is a great price.
