I think this is the first live terrestrial tv boxing of 2014?

Argenis Mendez is defending his IBF belt on the first one.

Terrestrial TV?

I thought BT Sport was a subscription channel?

Happy days,i couldnt see it on the schedule live and i thought i would have to wait until Wednesday

It is.

That's not terrestrial.

That's not terrestrial……….

Whilst technically, BT Sport is available on DTT (digital terrestrial television) I realise that my use of this word may have been misplaced.

Therefore, more than happy for someone else to come up with a tighter definition of Bt sport/Sky/bnation/C5 whilst I get off and resolve never to try any kind of helpful post here again.....

Thanks for sharing.

The main thing is live boxing has returned to British TV screens.

When it was on ESPN in the UK they used to mess us about something chronic. Sometimes it was live, sometimes it was on the next day in the afternoon and other times about 5 days later. My understanding is BT are looking to show as many live as possible. It's definitely live this week and next week from 2am.

I know what you mean Chad! The coverage before left me totally bamboozled most of the time. Just when you thought a good fight would be 'live' it would be shoved away on ESPN America at a strange time over Sat/Sun or even in the week. This was before I got the Tivo box on Virgin, when recording shows and finding shows, particularly in HD, would be a pain staking task on the original Virgin HD box, with only it's 24 hour in advance TV guide and record facility.

Good solid show though and even though Teddy can be annoying, he does actually know his stuff and gets his fight predictions right about 95% of the time. Recording and series link set

Its even worse when you record it then you end up with 30mins of overrun baseball nothing even happens in that sport they just stand about doing nowt

Can I buy a freeview BT box and get BT sports for free ? And get it in HD ?

Yes, and we'll stop for ice cream on the way home.

Not many people giving Mendez a chance on CS,incidently im one of the handful who does, not as confident as i once was though

I know it's a bit of a cop-out, but after picking Usmanee to beat Barthelemy by a close decision and the the subsequent disputed result, I'm not going to pick against him again. I think the fight will be very close, Mendez might even nick it in reality - but I think the cards might go the other way.
No real reason to think that it would happen again but ah well!

Yeah i had him beating Barthelemy too but i dont think it was as bad as Teddy n Joe were making out,im sure i had it 115-114 to Usmanee,i seem to remember having a round even so if i gave that to Barthelemy then i would have scored the fight a draw so i couldnt really claim robbery but i do agree that Arash Usmanee should have won

Next time out Barthelemy KO,d Sakkreerin in 2 so we,ll see how he gets on,he has got skills has Rances but he did seem to fade quite badly in Usmanee bout

Mendez on the other hand was unlucky only to get the draw last time out against Usmanee i felt,116-113 i had it

Maybe Argenis Mendez suffered from the fact that Arash Usmanee was "robbed" in his previous fight

I fancy Mendez to win a close encounter

Blimey, whatever it takes eh?

I was doing my best to be sarcastic. Clearly not good enough. I'll keep watching and learning from some of the experts on here.

Nice controversial ending by the way.
