boxing tonight on tv ????

[Brummy1976]

Anyone know what channel the boxings on tonight valuev chagaev ??? Cheers

[GazOC]

None, its been cancelled.

[doug.ie]

is anything replacing it?...any boxing at all ?...maybe a bunce hour type thing ?

[Brummy1976]

None, its been cancelled.How come ???

[yorkshire_boy]

How come ???

Chagaev failed blood test, Valuev's team said his health couldn't be guaranteed if he fought against him.

[GazOC]

I think Chageav failed the medical.

[NO MAS]

I think Chageav failed the medical.

Buncey said last night on the ABA's that Chageav failed the medical although it is unclear for the reasons why??? Any news Buncey?? :think

[GPater11093]

said it was hepaptitus i believe

also he should do like a bunce hour instead but it will be a re run of a football match or something. I would be pleased if they reran Cotto-Margarito or JMM vs diaz

What happened to the Valuev v Meehan replacement bout?

[kosaros]

What happened to the Valuev v Meehan replacement bout?

well that would have been the logical solution, yet they cancelled the entire show :patsch

[ishy]

The rematch between WBA heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev and Ruslan Chagaev has been called off after Chagaev was unable to fulfill the Finnish Boxing Federation´s medical requirements. Finnish law prevents disclosure of any further private health medical information. “Unfortunately, we have no other chance but to call the whole show off,” Sauerland Event General Manager Chris Meyer said. “Our top priority is Nikolai´s health and it could not be guaranteed.” Added Valuev: “I would have loved to make this fight but given those circumstances it is not possible.” The possibility of a replacement opponent was explored but with less than thirty hour’s notice arrangements could not be completed with Kali Meehan or Lamon Brewster. The entire card has been cancelled.



:-(:-(

[kosaros]

Yet apparently Chagaev's health was ok and he was ready to fight :huh

[GazOC]

How hard could it have been to get Meehan or Brewster to step in??

[GPater11093]

not very.

that quote was funny

'top priority was Valuevs health'

not Chageav?

[dan-b]

not very.

It seems likely Chagaev has known about this for a while. I sense a scandal, of sorts, brewing.

i dont Chageav is just one unlucky guy hes always ill and injured.

[GazOC]

Yeah, I think there could well be more to this than meets the eye. The fact they scrapped the entire card with indecent haste despite having 2 ready made substitute opponents is a little suspicious IMHO.

[El Cepillo]

I heard that Holy was in town for the fight, and offered to step in.

Surely they could have come up with something better than cancelling the entire card?

It's fucking ridiculous.

[dan-b]

It seems unlikely he's just picked this up in training camp.

[Charles187]

It seems unlikely he's just picked this up in training camp.

:rofl

You never know!

[kosaros]

Well apparently a show is on still, but the main fights are cancelled (chagaev, meehan and brewster).

I don't expect setanta to broadcast the remaining fights then, because there is very little appeal to the fights that are on.

[Jack Dempsey]

They're showing PGA golf instead

[rhinocoote]

is there anyone who knows the financial situation of the promoters,or ticket sale numbers?.sounds like a money loss thing to me,damage limitation?.why would they scrap the whole card unless this was the case?:huh

[slip&counter]

no boxing tonight nothing, wish they just did a special addition of the boxing hour or something, we haven't had a fight for ages although berto/urango is tonight, who's staying up?

[kosaros]

I am staying up for the Berto fight.

[Kid Lucky]

I'm going out for a few but will try to watch Berto when I back, or go to a mates house.

Where can you watch this?

[GPater11093]

my computer is shit so wont be able to watch berto fight will get it tommorow

ill just stay up watching dvds

[kosaros]

The internet. At the time of the fight search for a stream or I am sure someone would be kind enough to PM you a place to watch it.

[GPater11093]

gasman sorry my house is shut tonight

[gasman]

What time do you reckon it should be on at tonight?

Thanks.:good

[kosaros]

Not totally sure, main event could start at 4am, but I would start watching at 3am because the main undercard fight should be a good one.

[gasman]

I might still be up at that time, I will try to hook up a stream.

cheers.

[MaliSlamusrex]

someone has to want to fight, i would go and take a beating to give the fans a show.

[Bodysnatcher]

They could have showed some recent fight footage or something, had a bit of discussion and banter in the studio.

Nah, makes much more sense to show the live Golf really. I know there is Setanta Golf, but the freeview folk don't get that.

Live sport>>>>>>>>>studio chat

yeh i was free tonight as well

we could have filled in for the show

[slip&counter]

i'm actually looking forward more to angulo vs cintron then the main event which should be a comfortable win for berto

Gpeter, i might hit the stack of DVDs as well, that career collection of my all time favorite sweet pea always comes in handy, i think pendelton is still trying to hit him

[slip&counter]

who the F%ck watches three hours of flipping golf ffs

[dan-b]

who the F%ck watches three hours of flipping golf ffs

Bit of a myopic view wouldn't you say?

[kosaros]

Fuck knows i couldn't even play golf for that long.
