Willie Limond Vs. Eddie Doyle on TV
Posted: 19 Jan 2013, 18:49
Limond Vs. Doyle for the Commonwealth title takes place on Monday. Noticed that the fight will be broadcast the following night on SKY channel 200 at 10pm.
i dont think it will be an easy night , a def step up for Doyle ,but Doyle has been training like a beast and sacraficed his first Christmas with his new born daughter - i think it could be a good fight ...ShadrachSimmo wrote:Good stuff. Should be an interesting fight. Surely Limond has too much savvy and experience for young Doyle? Dictionary definition of a crossroads fight. Think Willie will out point the young yin.
nice one mate cheers,never thought this would be on tellychad wrote:Limond Vs. Doyle for the Commonwealth title takes place on Monday. Noticed that the fight will be broadcast the following night on SKY channel 200 at 10pm.

I've never watched the channel in my life. I've been aware of it when channel hopping defo be tuning in.craigstephen wrote:ThereByTheGrace wrote:What is the Channel called? I have Virgin Media and not sure if I have the channel.
It's not on Virgin, it's only on the Sky platform, channel 200. It's called Controversial TV but changes to Loaded about 9.30pm. It's free to view.
If you go to http://www.loaded.tv they stream exactly the same as the TV is showing, so 10pm Tuesday.
It's listed for 2 hours and I believe they are showing a rerun of the British Title fight between Jim Watt & Ken Buchanan. That was the first fight on at the St Andrew's Sporting Club, 40 years ago.
Both boxers weighed in at 9st 13lb 14oz this afternoon.
yep,this is only the 2nd fight on it,1st one was the Brian Rose/Sam Webb British title fight at the end of last yearShadrachSimmo wrote:I've never watched the channel in my life.

i think the john lewis dickinson fight is live on fri feb 15th - well atleast i hope it is
if it was a compact highlight show then i might watch it. but to be honest, i have never really heard of either of these guys, so not too interested in them. i love watching boxing live as anything could happen in a split second - take last night for example salido-garcia - all garcia, but for a split second i thought he lost the fight due to his cut - exciting, but watching when i know the result doesnt do it for me, unless it featured a fighter (or ideally 2) that i was interested in.Alba wrote:Paullow wrote:pretty poor how it isn't live don't you think? not gonna purposefully avoid the result - will avoid limond based articels on here and eastside on mon night and tues, but if a headline says 'limond stops doyle...' i prob won't bother watching it. apparently they have a mix of live fights, fights on replay, and classic british highlights from years gone by.

to be honest, there hasent been a main event from a STASC that i can remeber ,so its a bonus. Would be great to see it live, however not going to not watch it cause its not live... do you avoid match of the day, cause the game isint live ?

to answer your question, i would watch MOTD, but i wouldn't watch sky sports footbal first full replay of say West Brom V West Ham.

Must admit the gulf in class of opposition is huge but you have to wonder how much Limond has left. He was well beaten by Crolla but I'd fancy him to take this.dalcumly wrote:Doyle is not an attractive fighter to watch. He jumps about with his guard up close to his chin and throws only two punches, short straight left jab and a short straight right cross. He's very fit but I'm sorry to say he's not in Limonds class. It's going to be a short painful night for him and due to Limonds accuracy I suspect the fight will end around the fourth with Doyle cut to ribbons.
think its back of eleven mate ...Emmseegee wrote:Time does it start?

think sky's 'the gloves are off' will take away a fair few of loaded's core target audience tonight unfortunately. i will be doing my bit (and taping the sky sports show) - assuming villa-bradford doesnt go into extra time that is. if it does, i will watch that and tape loadedleforge wrote:Not much you can do when it aint on virgin!FtmPress wrote:We need boxing fan to turn on and watch is all about viewing figure and we want to keep loaded showing boxing.

1-1 extra time a possibility. Can't see the highlights being too extensive.Paullow wrote:think sky's 'the gloves are off' will take away a fair few of loaded's core target audience tonight unfortunately. i will be doing my bit (and taping the sky sports show) - assuming villa-bradford doesnt go into extra time that is. if it does, i will watch that and tape loadedleforge wrote:Not much you can do when it aint on virgin!FtmPress wrote:We need boxing fan to turn on and watch is all about viewing figure and we want to keep loaded showing boxing.
