Does anyone know about this - I thought it was only going tobe shown on HBO?

HBO in the US. Seems there's a web broadcast for anyone outside North America.

I assume it will be on one of the German channels

Cant get those mofo's on Sky Digital.... or can you??

No you need another dish pointing to another satelitte, easy enough to set up Mighty Warrior helped me get mine set up

Kev

So was that for the boxing then?

Obviously!! Enjoyed the Sprott fight last weekend.

Hahaha, no late night RTL movies then?

Nah only got ZDF and ARD on the planner so far!!

No sign of it on the usual German channels Kev, I guess big Wlad wanted too much cash for rights.

Internet PPV seems to be the future of boxing - is there a sport in the world that relies on the internet more than boxing?? Doubt it.

Wont bother with this little & large mismatch though.

Thanks Mighty.

You would think so mate wouldn't you. I had a few fights on BBN last year but it never really took off. May give it another go in 2007.

Kev

Sometimes the streams are really shit though.

Did you catch any Koc on the undercard Kev?





Well I had to make the effort. You know Koc's retired now. Good riddance I say. He was a right prick.

F#ck me boxing really is dead when the only way you can catch heavyweight tile fights is by buying strange satelites & pointing them in varying directions as long as its a full moon and the wind is blowing north.

No wonder the general public doesn't give a sh#t anymore.

Just want to let those considering doing this Live feed that the quality is quite good and very watchable, well worth the price.

For those who didnt shell out (myself included) here is the ending on youtube.

Take a look before it gets taken down..

From that angle it looked as though his forearm or elbow landed with the punch. Would like to see it from another side.

Great finish by Wlad, I was begining to wonder if Brock's tactics of taking him into the 2nd half of the fight would pay off. Wlad had a very bad cut just under his eyebrow, and a few more rounds and they may have had to stop the fight.

Brock was brave: at the start, Wlad seemed to take up the whole ring, with his left hand seeming to stretch right across the ring, but Calvin played it cool and kept busy, trying to see if that stamina would run out late on.

Watched it on RTL by the way. Showed H/L of Holy fight: other guy stood there with his hands by his trunks, and Holy helped himself to a right hand in the 1st. Holy looks pretty much the same as he looked 20 years ago, slower of course, but it's bad news that he might get another shot IMO.

Over 20 years of hardcore fights, taking countless shots off heavyweights cannot be good for a man his age.

I wonder if that was the first time that two university educated fighters have contested a version of the world heavyweight title?

You'd think it must be - Bonecrusher had a diploma, but I think they gave one of those to Tyson too!

Tyson has a diploma from the School of Hard Knocks. (Mostly self-inflicted in his case.)
