Good news

Brilliant news
Good luck to MacIntosh

It seems like Premier sports are keen to listen, I don't think the budget is great - so I would really encourage people to contact suggesting fights (Global) that will probably be shown on some channel, but likely to be cheap.

Suggesting Pacquaio vs Mayweather will not work.... but I noted this one, and the Holyfield one (sorry, but some boxing is better than nothing for weeks) and they have come through.

Shame it couldn't have been on Sky, is a decent enough match. I certainly don't have the appetite to add any more bills on top of my current Virgin Media package!

Good suggestion two fights in two nights is a sweet deal even if I'd rather see the holy one ride off into the sunset quick sharp.

I pay nearly £40 a month for Sky sports and all I really want to watch on it is the boxing.
So premier sports for £7 quid a month to me is realatively cheap in comparison.
As long as they keep showing live boxing every 1/2 weeks of a decent standard I'll stick with them.
Hopefully they can start picking up the German stuff, Telefuntura, Telemundo, regular Henessey shows and the odd Showtime and HBO shows then that will be good value to me.

Karl punches quite wide but he can clearly bang, I think McIntosh has to be careful early on.

Is this available on Virgin media?

Hard night this for McIntosh, think got himself to hyped up against Cleverley maybe he has learnt from that , and not panic or go macho when tagged early on. Karl has quite a few 1 round KO's on his record , so obviously goes for it early. from watching clips he does leave his chin in the air when attacking, McIntosh might be able to time a return just right , but he will have to keep cool and under control to do that.

Where's it gone? Sort it out!

First Round Karl

2nd round McIntosh - Karl has been cut nastily, Ref says accident head clash. Its a potential fight stopper, so we need the rule book handy.

Karl alot bigger than Danny.

3rd Round - The fight hasn't really got going yet. McIntosh does belong at this level, edge the round for Karl.

I wonder how McIntosh's stamina will hold up - he does use a lot of energy with his style.

4th Round - Karl just did more at the end of the round to give it.... scrappy though, both missing more than they are landing. McIntosh can win this.

Typical European crowd. This Frenchman is a lump - not very good.

Round 5 - McIntosh is mouth open and looked tired and reckless - swinging wildly...... Karl more accurate his round.

Needs his second wind.

Neither are looking good. This is very scrappy.

Think the french is looking like the future EBU champion.

True dat. Surprised Danny Mac isn't picking him off a bit more.

Looks like you're right. Massive miss for Danny Mac if so...this lad is sh1te.

Round 6 - Oh Danny...... Just making a bit of a prick now... focus. To busy showboating taking shot.

another round for the French.

He's only 24, think there are some improvements in him to come..... massive miss for Danny. Karl fights quite experienced for a 24 year old.

Danny looks terrible. I thought he'd come on a bit but no evidence of that.

Complete agree, he's fallen apart after a decent start - mentally he doesn't seem focused at all. playing to the crowd now.

Gutted hoped he'd win this :(

commentator is a bit odd
