Yeah i saw parts but my stream was terrible i saw the andy lee fight though what did you think of that?
Enjoy...................
Best fight of the year IMO.
Gotta laugh at the commentary on the first Cordoba knock-down.
Dave "Boy" McCauley: "These Panamanian fighters, they're so laid back they're almost horizontal"
*crunch*
Jimmy McGee: "Now he is horizontal"

when was that? I want to hear that part.
When Cordoba first got knocked down - by an absolute peach of a left hook. Early on in the fight, I think it's in the second YouTube clip above.
Do you see Wayne McCullogh has put out an open invitation to fight him.
Jaysus McCullogh does not know when to stop

I'd love to see it on!.... it would be great to see two Irishmen slug it out for a world title. BD would win it, I think the fight is a couple of yrs too late for Wayne.
Some medics are not happy for Wayne to fight, others think there is no prob, in that case they should let him fight if he wants!
If there's no medical consensus that he's unfit to fight I guess it should be his own decision, but in all honesty if his trainer, promoter, friends etc have his best interests at heart they should try to convince him to retire. He's well past his best, there's doubts about the health of his brain, and because he had an all time great chin and such courage he's took far too many punches in his career as it is. Last thing he needs at this stage is another war/beatdown from Dunne. Sad thing is I'll still watch it if it happens. Boxing can be pretty ghoulish at times.
spot on PM!
CARL Froch fury as TV snubs his big night
By Tom Hopkinson
Carl Froch has branded British TV bosses "a disgrace" for turning their backs on his first world title defence.
Froch, 31, is Britain's ONLY world boxing champion - but BBC, ITV and the satellite channels don't want to know.
He defends the WBC super-middleweight crown against ex-world champ Jermain Taylor, 30, in Connecticut in four weeks' time.
A deal has been struck with US TV giant Showtime to screen the fight live in America, but British fans may not see it.
Froch blasted: "For Britain's only world champion to be in such a big fight and it not to be screened is unheard of.
"It's a disgrace if it doesn't get shown and the people of Britain haven't got a chance to see this.
"It's not like I am up against a bum or an ordinary slugger who nobody is interested in ... "Setanta say they are the home of boxing. Well, they should be getting behind a British boy."
Froch, who claimed his crown in December by beating Jean Pascal, has a massive fight on his hands at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods resort. But he knows he has the power to beat Taylor.

Reckon Taylor will beat him, if he is in good shape for the fight
More than likely they have been priced out of it, we all know times are tight for ITV and BBC don't really show much live boxing anymore anyway. I am surprised Setanta have not jumped in there, they probably will.
Pavlik-Abraham is supposedly in the works for October or November. Has the potential to be a cracking fight. Any thoughts on who wins that one lads?
Pavlik easily, Abrahams is way over hyped
Haye v Klitscho june 20th. Reckon Haye has any chance?
I dunno. Abraham;s a very good fighter from what I've seen with a brutal left hook. They've both got KO power and they're both hittable, which makes for a great fight.
Yeah, he's got a much better chance against Wlad than he would against Vitali imo. Wlad's got a shaky chin and tends to start very cautiously. Wlad will still be the favourite but Haye has an outside chance of stopping him early.
Hope he does. Can't stand the Klistcho brothers to be honest. Ever see those fecking dodgy pics of them practically naked, standing next to each other? Creepy.
Haye is either gonna box in a new way we have seen him or he is gonna come in swinging from the off and he needs to be careful when he does that because we have seen before if he punches himself out he will be stopped later like against the cat.
I'll still take Pavlik, remember many of Abrahams victories have come in Europe against a very limited calibur of opponent. Id take Pavlik any day of the week over him.
I think Wlad is a better boxer than Vitali but Vitali is tougher esp. mentally and that takes him further. Im hoping Haye does him and considering he will be a much liver opponent than Wlad has faced in terms of movement and speed there is a very good chance he will

Some good fights tonight. Bradley against Holt will be interesting (Setanta are showing it). There's also the huge punching Valero against Pitalua and Chavez against Katsidis on another bill.
yup the lightweight lightning card im looking for a stream as i type
If you find one, send me a PM please.
PMs sent your way chaps.
Thanks. Only caught the last two rounds of Hernandez-Escobedo but it sounded like it was a classic.
fecking great night of boxing so far. Reyes starched Julio Diaz and Escobedo beat Hernandez in a very good fight. Those two fights were the ones I was least looking forward too as well. I've got a man crush on Katsidis (never seen him in a dull fight) and I can't wait to see if Valero justifies the hype. From the few fights I've seen of his on youtube his speed and power are just plain freaky.
No problem mate. First two rounds looked great but my stream was shite and it took til Round 6 to find a decent one. Great fight from what I seen though. Was good to see Julio Diaz get the shit kicked out of him too in the first fight.
Son of a bitch! Stream's dead.
It's gone again. You have a PM Pat.
Valero wins by way of stunning TKO! He has freakish power.
I wonder if Frank will put Khan in with Valero? hmmm....
That was fecking insane. He wasn't even coming forward when he landed that right hook for the first knockdown.
Yup, he was on his heels backing up. Scary.
Who do you fancy in the Holt-Bradley fight? Really tough one to call I think though I'll go with Bradley by UD.
Maybe if Khan shagged Frank's wife he'd put him in with Valero. Other than that not a chance. Incidentally, the guy who put up that stream switched to "Moms Turned Nymphos" after. If I didn't want to watch the Holt-Bradley fight I'd probably never log off that stream.
