I don't know if i'm going to watch the fight on saturday without knowing the result(more enjoyable) or find out the result when it happens.

both ill be there and will need to watch it on grandstand to probably remember

It's the perennial dilemma.

In the past I've had my parents tape Sky fights and post them on to me.

I endeavour to avoid the results, which isn't always easy, given my teletext/radio5/internet habits.

Then thanks to our spakkked up postal service the tape takes three days to get there.

Personally if i cant see the fight live then i will check the result to see whether it's worth watching or not

BBC only show highlights anyway... skip half of the action

BBC are showing it in to parts on saturday. fiirst part is for 30 minutes then break for football, the second part will be 40 minutes long.

Boxing action at Wembley Arena from the undercard of the David Haye v Carl Thompson fight.

SPORT: Boxing
15-50-1630

Date: Saturday 11th September 2004
Duration: 40 minutes.
Boxing action at Wembley Arena as exciting London prospect David Haye - with 10 straight wins under his belt since turning pro - takes on IBO cruiserweight champion Carl Thompson. Haye has stopped all of his opponents while Thompson returns from a six month ban for the use of illegal gloves earlier this year.

Oh, at least they are showing the undercard - although if my memory is correct, its not a great card.

dunno greenberg and krence are on it. delaney also, with barney on the undercard too.

not that bad. ive seen worse.

Wait till next day, definately.

Although the problem with a reply like this is that you work out info about the fight by the organisation of the covreage.
if it's a 30 minute slot, but they start with 10 minutes build up, and show it from round 1, you know it's not going beyond 3, so some of the 'unknown' gets lost there.

Hello guys!
I am not from England. I saw David Haye once, he fought Artur King but I never saw Carl Thompson in action. So my question is Carl Thompson has a chance in this upcoming fight or not at all?

Ask Sebastien Rothman.

Seriously tho I would be suprised to see the Cat come out on top.

Haye IMO is outstanding and has the skills and attitude to take over the division.

Well your clearly beyond help anyway.

I must admit Id probably prefer to nail my bollox to the table than sit through 90 mins of wolves vs wigan.

sorry steve but had to be said, each to their own and all that, but wolves wigan, sheesh.

Joke.

That's why I hate the BBC.

Show the **** fight live! It's ridiculous b/c I know I won't be able to wait for it plus, I'm in work on Saturday all day.

BBC should get the **** out of boxing.

I used to support the beebs coverage of boxing but no more!... their faliure to show the Haye vs Thompson clash live is simply inexcuseable!!!... they're just talking the micky now... should the fight last more than 6 rounds they probably won't even show it in full!... far as I'm concerned the bloody beeb can stick their incompetent boxing coverage up its little bottom where no one can see it! ....best place for it I think! 8) .

Be realistic mate. How on earth are they going to get boxing on live in a prime time slot on a friday night. Shall we have a look at what they are competing against?

These are the programmes below which are on in the time the fights are on, every single one of these is guaranteed more viewers than the boxing would get, do you expect them to shoot themselves in the foot and have the eastenders devotees up in arms, or perhaps they can put multi-million pound earner Ross on tommorow?

I'd rather not see them show any boxing than have them piss me off. They show their boxing at times I can hardly ever watch it at.

What happens if Thompson Haye lasts a fair bit??? I'd be well pissed off and I don't need that. They should stay away from the sport because they don't do it any favours to be honest.

As a Celtic fan maybe you can enlighten me, is Henri Camamara any good because so far, from what ive seen he looks like a 3 legged donkey who couldnt score in a barrell of fannies I would put cash on him being back at Wolves after the loan expires.

What do you think of Kenny Miller?

I think Kenny Miller is great, I've got all his LPS.... didn'y know he'd done anything recently though!.... 8)

I know a prime time slot is unrealistic but I was hoping they might show a repeat of the whole fight even if it was after midnight as they did with Gatti and Dorin I had a look and on BBC two they only have News 24 on then anyway, but never mind have to go out and get pissed instead :P

Yeah it's enough to drive you to drink!!!.... :x 8)

Miller is alright when he puts his mind to it, Camara couldn't hit a barn door for us early in the season but then he became okay, then pre-season he decided he was too good for us and the money grabbing, high and mighty c**t walked out and refused to play for us again...so basically your welcome to him

Ditch Carry and Barry and Eyes Down. Put news on at 9pm followed by J Ross and boxing can begin at 11pm. Perfect.

And WTF is Jasper Carrot still doing on television?
