Just discussing this very thing with Real Deal on the "dog and bone" -

I said "F*ck me could you imagine falling asleep and then waking up after the boxing on Saturday/Sunday Morning has finished!!!"

What a nightmare that would be - especially if Ricky wins!!!

It got me thinking - have you missed a big fight you have wanted to watch whether it be at home and you fell asleep!!! or did you actually go to a fight and get too p*ssed in the bar??

I fell asleep during Lewis-Rahman 1, woke up to find Lewis lying on the canvas, thought I was dreaming so went back to sleep!

Woke in the morning to find out it wasn't a dream!

This time there is plenty of red bull in the fridge!!

I fell asleep during the Margarito vs Williams bout, ....woke up during the announcing of the decision!!!.... :x :x :x

ive done it a couple of times..the all nighters kill me, my best bet is to go to bed for a couple of hours kip and get up at 03.45...

Went to sleep in the lets get reddy to rumble bit and woke up to "Lennox Lewis has been robbed in Madison Square Garden"

I have done that but the alarm never went off.

Tyson - Etienne bought the ppv as well.
Barrera - Pacman 2 but then heard Setanta cut the last 2 rounds out
Few others cant think off at the moment.

Fell asleep and missed Lewis vs Holyfield 1.

I also fell asleep during Hatton - Callozo, it was at the Clinton Woods - Delise 2 after party. Nadeem Siddique was next to me laughing poking me during the fight, i saw the knockdown remembered cheering, next think i know they were announcing Hatton winnig, Rhino and Spud were there also.

That's what I've started doing now too. I find doing the all nighters on your own, by the time the main event comes on you're so tired that all you want is for it to finish so you can go to bed. Take a lot away from the enjoyment of it. Sky plus is also good to have because you can just get up in the morning and watch it first thing as though it's live and forward through the parts between fights.

So what are some you lot doing to make sure you don't miss the big night on Saturday - I actually thought of taking the "Mrs" for her annual night out - but then thought drink would get the better of me - either that or I am going to have alarm clocks and the mobiles in the house placed in different parts of the room set at 1 minute intervals.

It would be a bloody disaster missing Saturday.

I was going to borrow your Mrs. to help keep me up!

I have bought a Terry Griffiths v Eddie Charlton Tape

Fell asleep 10 mins before Tyson - Spinks, woke up in the adverts after.

Fell asleep before Tyson/Holyfield 2.

Not boxing, but I missed England winning the Rugby world cup as I forgot to set my alarm. What a twat.

I love to sleep through rugby matches - I can only think of one game more boring, cricket.

I fell asleep during Skelton-Sprott 2. But then so did the two fighters.

Nodded off watching the undercard and woke to see the replay of Lewis uppercutting Grant.

I feel asleep during one of Don King’s super-cards on Sky Sports around this time of year in 2003. I saw Judah knock out Jamie Rangel then drifted off and woke up during the last round of Hopkins-Joppy.

So I missed Ruiz-Rahman, Spinks-Mayorga, Simms-Garcia and eleven rounds of Hopkins-Joppy.

Thankfully, I recorded it – though I wasn’t saying that as I watched Ruiz-Rahman on the Sunday afternoon.

I've never done it; I'm hardcore.

Saying that, I used to stay up for ALL the American cards, but I found I can't manage it anymore, so it has to be a really special occasion now. Last one was Floyd-Oscar. The rest of them, I've watched the next day.

After badgering my mate for about a month to order the Hopkins v DLH fight, (I didn't have sky at the time), I then proceeded to go out on the lash with some bird beforehand, and arrived at my mates really pissed about 1 in the morning. I carried on drinking and after several beers, I conked out on the Sofa.

I was awoken by my mate screaming at me and shaking me violently while telling me 'I thought you said this was the biggest fight in fookin' years?'

I was so pratted that I could only open one eye, and yet I managed to write one page of utterly illegible notes on the two rounds I saw before Oscar was stopped.

Whatever gets you through the night Ollie.

Who was in the front room Oliver McCall or Michael Barrymore?
