Personally I would favour the international line up slightly. It has more eye catching matches and at the very least if a British fight is one I really want to see and its not televised then I can always go to the show!

Not so with the American action.

for £40 a month the lot, failing that a competant person in the purchasing of fights department, someone who recognises a "must have" when they see one (toney rahman, hoya mayorga etc...)

Sorry to say I have no interest at all in watching Japanese/Thai fighters fight each other...

2 small oriental guys who I don't recognise, whose names I cannot pronounce and are unlikely to fight any European or American name fighters....would rather watch White Collar boxing.

US fights are great, but can't get excited about seeing a fight a week after they happened and I know the result.

Would love to see Toney-Rahman live......

Like to watch British fights but prefer is they are either good prospects or well matched fights. Not really excited about Anderson v Dickson.

Not Live Weeks delay

Post by Boxing Addict »

I've been watching these on five every friday around 1:00 am ish. Its the Friday Night Fights from ESPN, some decent fights.

The only thing is there on a weeks delay, which is OK, but Eastman Vs Miranda and Vs Guinn should be live ! or even a days delay on SKY! I appreciate what five are doing but what are SKY doing.

Kevin Anderson defending his commenwealth title, surely thats a undercard fight.

Eastman Vs Miranda should be on the SKY radar, SKY get subscription money and should evenly distribute it to all the sports - Not just football and cricket. Boxing in this country use to be massive, but with SKY not showing the big american fights, interest is shit. I like ITV better and give Warren credit - maybe ITV pay more cos so far Warren is delivering good fights / cards, but he took the piss out of SKY.

Eastman should win if he doesn't get caught with a beauty, this Miranda is wild, hard punching, undeafeted and young but is not a very good boxer so eastman should outbox and outslug him.

I pick A-Force against Guinn, A-Force is too good for Guinn pitty he can't really punch

As long as Sky stop editing rounds I don't mind what they show nowadays. Practically all the title fights are for genuine titles so I won't be complaining about that :TU:
