It'd be great if Channel 5 on demand put this up Saturday morning atfer the fight so we dont have to wait until saturday night or sunday morning if your like me and have virgin to watch it,i doubt they will but i'll give it a check anyhow,if not im gonna try and find it elsewhere,there's no way i'll make it to sunday without finding out the results
Im actually looking forward to Tarver-Cunningham,christ knows why but im interested to see how Tarver gets on at HW even though he's a cheat,he's looked decent so far though up there,Cunningham showed against Glazkov there's still life in old dog yet,Cunningham on points is my bet but i wouldnt rule out Tarver maybe scoring a KO
Huck-Glowacki is a good fight too,ive must have seen Huck fight 20 times it feels ever since he was European champ back in the Setanta days,now he's nearly beat Nelson's record as most successful Cruiserweght,you never know what your gonna get with Marco but he's always great value,he's probably been on the right end of more controversial decisions than anyone,Afolabi could've beat him 3 times,Lebedev,first Arslan fight too,although some might say he was unlucky when he moved up to fight Povetkin,he's a tough SOB and loves a tear up,i cant remember ever seeing Glowacki and i only realised last week that he's the fella who stopped Askin,Matty's a tough cookie so thats a good scalp,Glowacki's unbeaten so its a real test
Might turn out to be 1 of PBC's better cards although probably by luck

They legally stream all US freeview channels. I've watch most PBC fights on there.
You get top commentary, unlike the bias waffle over here.

I hope Tarver gets beat. He is a known drug cheat and shouldn't be allowed to box at all. It's a dangerous enough sport without drug cheating.

I so want Cunningham to win, he's fought the right way all his career, doesn't duck anyone. Comes across as a decent family man. I thought Tarver was rubbish against Banks, but finished it well.

Fight of the year at this point for me.
I thought Glowacki was done when I saw him go down in the 6th and at that point I couldn't imagine that he'd be the one scoring a late stoppage, especially considering that Huck has a reputation for being durable and performing well in the final rounds.

Thats the first I've seen of Glowacki, well impressed. Big money in the rematch for him.

Am I the only one thinking Afolabi vs Ramirez was a better fight? Less drama at the end but more action on a consistent basis

Great fight,I've only seen Glowacki box once when he stopped Matty Askin few years ago.That 6th round was a corker,both men throwing everything at each other and the shot that put Glowacki down was a quality left hand.I thought he was gone from that.
Fight of the year so far for me aswell

Not seen it yet. I know Glowacki beat Askin a few years back but I'm sure Askin said on the boxing hour last night he was making him look silly in sparring in preparation for the Huck fight! Not sure how much truth is in that though.

Spoiler alert!!!!!
Glowacki-Huck was a belter,how Glowacki survived that 6th i'll never know,he seemed to take an eternity to rise,i thought Marco just swung the left in hope but you seen in the replay how Huck feinted the left before throwing it,and the finish came from nowhere,Huck was out of it and Glowacki was clinical,a rematch would be great coz it can just as easily go the other way next time
Tarver-Cunningham was a bit of a bore,a draw seemed a fair result although i agreed with the first judge who scored if 115-113 to Steve,Tarver's defence was solid and his punching was crisp and accurate,he just wasnt busy enough for me,Cunningham was busier and seemed to be the fresher of the 2

Totally agree!
I could see the ref stopping it in round 6. Glowacki was given more than a fair chance by the ref and it just shows what can happen if the ref lets the fight unfold naturally. In Germany or the UK, that fight would've been stopped IMO.
Defo FOTY contender and upset - C'mon Fury!
