will you be watching

skelton v rogan + the olympians
jon thaxton on itv
setantas german card

i know lots of you will tape one and watch the other but which one will you watch live. i know if the olympians are on setanta their schedule could change.

what do you think of two promoters , hennessey and ****** putting two cards on the same night. its annoying but at least i can watch one and then tape another and watch it later. must be very annoying for people who cant do that.

Whatever I can get on TV here.

My first choice would be the Olympians, I'd like to gauge their potential.

I wouldn't mind seeing Murat vs. Sanavia, but I'd be more interested in Fury/McIntosh on the undercard than Thaxton vs. a Eurobum.

Depends on the timing of the actual fights. What I would plan to do is watch the Olympians then switch over to ITV to watch Jon Thaxton. Skelton/Rogan doesn't interest me in the slightest.

Funny, I'd rather watch Skelton/Rogan as attritional as it may be. At least it might be competitive.

Thaxton vs. a eurobum. Where did they dig that guy up from? :-(

Fuck knows. But I'm a fan of Jono, so I'll be watching that.

What undercard is the Fury fight on?

Tyson Fury vs Daniel Peret
Danny McIntosh vs Matthew Barney

That is the Thaxton undercard, or the main part anyway.

I knew the Olympians would be on Sky.

I have no idea what the deal is with the Sky/Setanta/****** situation.

deagale was interviewed on sky sports news yesterday. i'm just after seeing a report on setanta sports news with another interview with degale. so if ye thought degale would be on sky because they had an interview with him yesterday its looks like it might be still up in the air. unless ye heard any inside rumours

interview was on around 6.15. so it might be on again around 7.15 or 7.20. i only caught the very end of it so im not sure if there was any mention of tv deatails but i doubt there was.

i cant believe we dont know who is showing this with only a week to go until the fights.

I'd like to watch the:

Olympians 1st
Tyson fury 2nd
A Farce v Rogan Josh 4th
Thaxton v some bloke 4th
and accidently turn on the german card (Who's on?) when i've had one too many jars.

I hate it when a broadcaster announces the results of their rival stations fights. ITV have been known to do this.

Therefore I would always watch a Sky show first because they alway ignore everything they are not actually broadcasting

If i had to watch one card it would be Skelton + the olympians, but the fight i'm most looking forward to is Tyson Fury's - im becoming a real fan of his.

I'll be surprised if the olympians last longer than a combined total of 5 rounds so not particular looking too forward to their fights, but will be interested to see how they get on.

Good point! You found an upside to Sky's insular and ignorant attitude to the world outside Sky. Amusing that the FA Cup hardly gets a mnention even on the sky news channels now.

I will be watching the ITV card. A selection of good fights and an entertaining top of the bill.

Not interested in watching a couple of debut olympians to be honest and Skelton, well hot damm no I shall not be watching that.

The German bill may get seen if it is repeated the next day.
