I'd imagine it would be circa 3.45am to 4.30am TopGun.

The Stub Hub is right by the coast and further west than Las Vegas is.

To give you some idea of scale, it looks like Vegas is 30 mins away in the car right? it's actually 270+ miles away.

Ok, I was hoping it wouldn't be too late as it ruins me the next day. Not good when you have 3 kids......

For Hatton vs Tszyu, I had about 40 people round for a barbeque.

It began at 2 in the afternoon and the fight was about 4am in the end. Let's just say I got drunk twice, and then had to watch the fight with a hand over 1 eye so I could see it properly when it eventually started.

In the end I just stayed on up until 3pm the next day then went to bed and woke up Monday.

Now, 9 years on and two kids later, I think it going to be an alarm clock job !

Yeah same for me I think; I'll probably set my alarm for 3:30am.

For anyone who is going to California, be aware the show starts very early. Luke Campbell is scheduled to box around 2.15 p.m. local time, followed by Callum Smith around 2.45-2.50. Deontay Wilder is set for around 4.15. Figueroa 6.05, followed by Bika, then Porter-Brook earliest ringwalk 7.52, so earliest first bell just after 8 p.m. (4. a.m.)

This on sky sports 1? Reason I ask is that all my sky sports channels are working except SS2. Infuriating.

Fuck!

I just felt the same way in the Moore thread, was Hatton-Tyszu really that long ago?

I was reading earlier that Pavlik-Hopkins was 6 years ago. I was shocked by that as it was actually before or around the same time that Khan got knocked out by Prescott and that does actually feel like yonks ago to me whereas the former doesnt.

Im gonna stay up for this one rather than tivo it,i dont drink at all now when watching boxing as i can never remember a bloody thing and my scorecards are squiggly to say the least so i prefer watching it with a clear head(well herbaly chilled )

Nah i really fancy Brook to pull it off,providing he doesnt freeze which i dont think he will

Brook SD

I was thinking the same thing about Pavlik-Hopkins after watching Kovalev's fight. I think it's because Hopkins was already considered really old for someone fighting world class competition and nothing really has changed with him since- he is still really old and fighting at the highest level.
Khan is at a different stage in his career from when he was sparked in 1 by Prescott, so it seems like longer ago.
