just gonna avoid the result.

[SteelTownCobra]

Nothing on ITV website.

[Grant1]

A little birdie tells me that ITV aren't allowed to advertise this fight because it will effect PPV figures.

But apparently it will be on.

[TK Terrible]

Superb, saves a late one Saturday and makes for interesting Sunday viewing, lahtough no undercards etc.

Easy to stay away from result as long as you stay away from internet

[robpalmer135]

what time ?? Will be hard to avoid the result if not on till after 12:00...

just dont go on ESB or any other boxing site, do not watch setanta of sky sports news.

[Hagler/Pryor]

The fight was always going to be replayed on ITV or even on the BBC if Froch had won. They've done it for Calzaghe, so why not Froch, particularly in the case of ITV, who have hyped him zealously and desperately. I'm glad that they've decided to replay it even if Froch loses, though. Paying £10 to wake up in the middle of the night to watch the fight on a stream on my laptop or staying away from the result and watching it with a cup of tea on Sunday on the telly? Not a hard choice at all, in my view.

[SteelTownCobra]

This is good news, I hope it happens.

Just need to lock the girlfiend and kids out of the house, shut the curtains, crack the beer open and turn the volume up. Even if it's on at 10.00 a.m.

[Evil Dead]

anyone know what time its going to be on? ill have to lock myself in a room till then

[Bodysnatcher]

I was planning to avoid the result until it popped up online anyway - was hoping it'd appear by late-afternoon, but this is better.

Will it be shown even if Froch loses, I wonder.

My only worry is that I like going to the gym on Sunday mornings - if some bastards hanging around the weight benches talk about the result, I'll chin them :)

you do really wanna be stating fights with geezers in weight rooms. Iphone on, headphones in, full blast.

I am just gonna get wasted and stay asleep until it come on

[theuppercut]

That is great news. I'll watch it rather than the stream. My connection ain't great.

[theuppercut]

Froch fight and the JuanMa fight on Sunday, good stuff.

[GazOC]

just dont go on ESB or any other boxing site, do not watch setanta of sky sports news.

I find it get progressively harder to be arsed locking yourself away in the afternoon. If its on Sunday morning you can just get up late and watch it while you have your breakfast, in the afternoon you want to be able to watch the football, go for a pint etc and it gets to be a PITA avoiding the result.

Good point.

I'll probably just sigh heavily and look really pissed off.

[Bonavena25]

I don't mind watching fights I know the result of.

[Ilesey]

Awesome.

Whoever pays for a PPV stream is a fucking douche.

[rockandrollstar]

Nothing on Sky planner yet. Although ITV4 have been known to change their listings very very late.

[Ilesey]

I don't mind watching fights I know the result of.

Me neither.

I'll be more inclined to watch if Froch is beaten.

[Shizzle]

Just got a press release from Hennessy.

It'll be on ITV4 at 8.30pm, and on ITV at 11.15pm on Sunday!

[TommyV]

Yeah I'm gonna avoid the result until ITV show it.

[TFFP]

Me neither.

I'll be more inclined to watch if Froch is beaten.
:lol:

[abzmanc]

Fan-fucking-tastic...if u can steer clear of any form of media for a few hours....... I tried this for the Pac - De la Hoya fight but my dad who isnt even a huge fan of boxing told me the result!!

[Carnage]

Nothing special, was expecting this anyway. Got to be seen live !

[cityofgod]

Im watching the stream fo sho !

You cant beat it live IMO.

And the picture i did on the test was spot on too.

[dwilson]

I am just trying to plan how to avoid the smallest possibility of seeing the result.

[robpalmer135]

yeh i still might do it live., with a mate its £5. nothing better than styaing up late to watch a brit in action abroad.

[saturday_kid]

Yeah tbh I can see me watching it live, but its good its on tv for my dvd collection. And prefer watching on a bigger screen etc.

[JonOli]

You gotta watch it live. :deal I'm currently working on a dish made out of wire coat hangers and tin foil.

[ishy]

This place will be dead on Sunday :yep

Will we be doing a delayed rbr? :lol:

[MaliSlamusrex]

very good :good

[achillesthegreat]

Well played by ITV but boxing being delayed 24 hours totally changes the atmosphere, excitement etc Any punch could change something and if you know the result the suspense is gone. You'll only then enjoy it if its a really good fight.

My mate went to Harrison v Williams and loved it cos each punch is being cheered and people are expecting something to happen. Same happened to me when I went Sprott v Williams III. Average fights but the suspense makes it awesome.

I always say I'll wait 24 hours but I never can. I might watch it online. I want the suspense.

[pijo]

Going get stinkin' Saturday night, pull a fatty and shag it all night so I'm fucked all day sunday and stay in bed. When I get up mid afternoon I'll watch JML and the Appleby fight. happy days until Monday morning when I'll suffer in work.

[JIM KELLY]

woohooo..im goin raving , be back around 8 am ...

[Dunky McCafferty]

yeh i still might do it live., with a mate its £5. nothing better than styaing up late to watch a brit in action abroad.

A brit?

Froch is as english as bangers & mash IMO, hes Englands fighter & his win is a victory for English boxing IMO.
I hate that brit word, cos its meaningless!

Britain, & brit are horrible words, cos they devalue our nations. Its like Chris Hoy won so many gold medals but hes a brit, when the guy is scottish. & if Froch beats Taylor? hes a brit when hes english?

What a fucked up lot of people sport fans are here on these shores. They regard anything outside of fooball as a mutual victory, but when it comes to football, politics & anything truly important in life we are seperate identities, as it should be?
Its all fucked up man, its all fucked up...

If Froch & hatton wins I send my regards to London & England, but how me or any other scotsman can claim it as 'our' victory leaves me scratching my big scottish head in abject disbelief...

UK, its never made sense to me, especially as it aint united as long as people like me exist.

Are you just moody because the British Lions only has two Sweaties in the squad and one of them's an Aussie?:D

Froch has the British flag on his trunks. He's more of a united man than you are.

We are British, stop alienating yourself.

Are you honestly telling me you don't enjoy wins by English and Welsh fighters?

[JIM KELLY]

watchin it on a sunday evening is kinda bland. Sunday eves are for sippin on some earl grey or green chai, ironing your uniform or getting your uni folder ready.
Im willing to get back in doors around 2 ish am and find something.

[fenian 67]

im afraid to watch the juanma fight sunday morning in case buncey gives away the froch result

[saturday_kid]

I was thinking this too. I reckon if he was gonna mention the result he'd give pre-warning. Also I'm not sure if Bunce will be on anyway as its only the 1 hour slot delayed, like Donaire last week and Julio Cesar Chhavez Jnr a few weeks back, Bunce (or Kerr) werent in the studios for them it was just an american voiceover.

[JIM KELLY]

will showtime play the fury fight?

You would be shocked at my answer if I gave it to you right now.
