I have ITV 3 on the digital listings and that comes through and then a bunch of ITV 1 listings on "Other Channels" but sadly none of them come through. Anyone know any kind of channel code that will bring ITV into the listings or any other way to get ITV 2?

Sky Digital channel 118, mate. Hope you get it on, it's like the old days: The theme music is back! Which has brought back plenty of memories for me, here's hoping the fights are as good.

And blow me down, Holdsworth is commentating, as was rumoured.

Nah, just has Channel unavailable listed unfortunately despite the fact I'm supposed to have the "full" Sky package.

Theme music is back which is great.

Holdsworth and McKenzie is good, only criticism is that they a tad supportive of the favourites - but its good.

Fights have been a huge dissapointment - will Hennesey get another crack?

Fights were a bit disappointing tonight, or should I say the fighters?



Also, did anyone hear Froch say "I won 118-108, that means I won everyround" Should of been 120 - 108

Nope, but I do remember him saying Kessler was German though

I can't say how the fights come across on TV, but watching live (which is often different) I enjoyed every single bout on the card.

Meager-Watson was an absolute hum-dinger.

Lenny Daws's fight was a competitive, brusing battle.

John O'Donnell won on a cut, but had showed plenty of skill and flair in dominating a tough opponent in Ben Hudson.

David Walker gave his faithful the usual heart-attack on his way to winning on points over Howard Clarke. The refer scored that one too close for my money.

Kell Brook stormed home in two in a lively contest, while it lasted.

Darren Barker put on a fine exhibition of boxing that got some of the fans talking about his excellent skills AND that tough old soldier Ernie Smith gutted it out to the end and received a framed certificate from the Board for taking part in his 100th pro contest.

Billy Corcoran figured in a good workout against the competent Steve Gethin, but won comfortably on the score card.

As for Froch, the atmosphere was highly charged for his clash with Barney. I could feel the tension brewing between his family and close friends and some of Barney's supporters from the travelling community. I didn't notice anything too troublesome so it added to the fight. I've never seen Barney so aggresive and he got my respect for his showing, but Froch definitely wanted it more and from my seat ran out a convincing winner, which is not easy against Barney.

Also enjoyed Witter's fight, even if it was low-key. I thought Kotelnik kept a tight guard all the way through, but more importanly managed to read Witter and take away Junior's greatest assett....his ability to hit you with punches you don't see coming. No doubt that Witter won the fight though.

All in all that's probably the best Hennessy show I've been to so far.

Yep he said it was a shut out and that for people who don't understand scores, the score of 118-110 meant he won every round clearly.

Clearly not.
