Actually, I had it seven-three, so a bit wider.

Anyone who has watched an HBO broadcast will know how that enhances the viewer experience.

As it is now, we can hear the crowd, but the actual fight is silent.
Adding some mics is not an expensive cost to the production.
I'm surprised they don't have it.
Good spot. I certainly won't be subscribing now.

They are friends outside of the ring fighting like friends inside of the ring.

I have Crolla 30-27 - he is too quick for Limond who looks one-paced - has to step it up

Could have been wrong but I'm sure Limond landed a two-punch combination while the lights were off.

Crolla is just too good for Willie - another 9 months and 2 defences of his British title before he looks at Burns. Think they would make more money in the long run also (Hatton and Allegedly). I would try to involve Rees and Mitchell at some point also.

I would like to see Crolla vs Mathews, with the winner fighting Burns.

Good performance from Crolla tonight, a complete shut out................

I wonder where Limond goes from here ? I wouldn't be suprised to see him call it a day.

He might retire, but I don't think he should.

I was embarrassed for Limond. That was a poor effort really. He can win a few prelims over the next 12 months and come again, bidding for a domestic title, but that was not an effort to be proud of.

Good performance from Crolla and I feel he could have gone for the finish if he really wanted to in the mid-late rounds, but he held himself off cos they are mates. A good thing though for him to get 12 rounds under his belt and he was very controlled and showed a great boxing brain tonight.

Recorded fight. EPG not set long enough (AGAIN! :witzend: ) by BN for fight so missed last couple of rounds

Must remember to manually record.
