Is the commentator there, and who is he? seems like he has his work cut out

I'll be watchin.
Only got premier sports for the hennesey bill the other week but they have been superb value from day one and as long as they keep showing boxing they will keep getting my subscription.

I've just put it on. Alisher Rahimov vs Rustam Nugaev has just finished.

good little fight that one

Oh christ it's on now then?
In which case i'll be watching the repeat (which I thought was live) later on!
I shall also avoid this thread.

who's the commentator? he's not bad

MC says "nay-shan-oll anthem". D

I would, but it isn't on Virgin, to my knowledge.

Pirog looks a bit out of sorts, Maciel lands some decent shots in the 3rd

Pirog picking it up now, still nothing spectacular. but he's making the Argentinian go into defensive mode. 6th round just starting

Yeah, he looks demotivated.

Pirog looks like he knows he's winning, and Maciel looks like he knows he's losing.

Either Pirog steps it up and gets Maciel out of there, or Maciel decides to go for broke and starts throwing some bigger shots

Pirog's starting to get done towards the end of the eighth. Good body shot he took

what an odd round by Pirog, he was grabbing like an amateur in there!!

This is a good scrap - i thought pirog was looking gassed, but he came on strong towards the end of the round

Pirog doesn't impress tonight, maybe he fought to the level of his opponent.
but i thought the Russian was stung a couple of times in there, Maciel gave a good account of himself but didn't believe in himself soon enough.
Macklin and Barker would of watched that and thought they have a chance of beating Pirog.

Shit!, why is it on so early!

I'm watching it on record; Nagaev vs Rahimov looks like an absolute cracker so far!

Finally sat down to watch it but.....

It's like watching a silent movie where is the ring apron mic? It's difficult to gauge the weight of some blows with no contact sounds.

Is it because of the foreign commentary would be all over it?

I thought he was a decent commentator, knew his stuff and read a fight well, surprised I have never heard of him before?

Premier is great value, so far so good!
