Pavlik v Hopkins on Setanta

[johnny5]

Anyone know what time the fight is likely to start? Also what is the undercard?

[ishy]

The televised undercard on HBO is:

• Featherweights: Steven Luevano (35-1-1, 15 KOs) vs. Billy Dib (21-0, 11 KOs), 12 rounds, for Luevano's title

• Middleweights: Marco Antonio Rubio (42-4-1, 37 KOs) vs. Enrique Ornelas (28-4, 18 KOs), 12 rounds, title eliminator

• Middleweights: Daniel Jacobs (10-0, 9 KOs) vs. Tyrone Watson (7-1, 3 KOs), 6 rounds

So we should get these fights on Setanta, may miss out on the Jacobs fight though.

[stegsie]

I set this to record ealeir today (On Virgin Media). Program was 03:00 till 07:00. Just double checked and it is now split into three progs. 03:00 till 04:15, 04:15 till 05:30 and 05:30 till 07:00.

Good job I checked - or I would have bloody missed it !!!

So when the fuck does the fight start..

Can anybody give a straight answer.....?

Or is that too hard..

[BigEars]

So when the fuck does the fight start..

Can anybody give a straight answer.....?

Or is that too hard..

What time the main event starts is dependent on the outcome of the undercards fights.

or in other words stop being a whining git the fight will start sometime between 04:30-05:30

Around the time it always starts you arsey twat.

[Claypole]

The undercard will consist of light punching journeymen and will drag on to the point that you drop off to sleep just in time for the main event.

Not that Hopkins will have us bright eyed and bushy tailed.

[Claypole]

How the fucking fuck are we supposed to know????????

Patience young grasshopper Fight come when fighters fight:yep

[Primadonna Kool]

Around the time it always starts you arsey twat.

And what time is that you shit head..what kind of answer is that.

These topics are always annoying, because no one..gives a straight fucking answer.

You fucking bell end..

[ishy]

You fucking bell end..

Because no one has a fucking clue when the fight will start. It all depends on the undercard. If all the undercards end with KO 1's the main event will start early but if they all go the distance then the main event will start later.

[ScouseLad]

And what time is that you shit head..what kind of answer is that.

What exactly are you expecting, someone to say it'll start dead on 4.27am or something?

New to boxing are you?

It depends on many variables and is subject to the vicissitudes of modern boxing and TV schedules.
Its not that we cant give you a straight answer and want to ramble without answering the question.This isnt the case at all.You do us all a great disservice here;
There is nothing i would like more than to be able to answer this question without typing line after line of irrelevant shit without you actually finding out anything Mr Kool
The truth is it would be highly irresponsible and pointless for us to do that.
In fact,you even suggesting that we arent capable of giving you a short straight answer is highly offensive....as i said,nothing would give us greater pleasure,but Boxing,like life,isnt always that simple.
Despite this blatant unfairness i WILL try and give you a concise,honest answer without going around the proverbial houses,so to speak.
It wont be easy,but as a fellow ESBer,its the least i can do,and im sure the other guys support me on this.
As i promised to keep this answer brief,as you requested,i think it is bet that the fight starts somewhere between 1am and 7am British time.

You know this is boxing, right? Have you ever watched it before?

[surreal deal]

You know this is boxing, right? Have you ever watched it before? He will if we tell him what time.
Like ESB pulls the strings of US big fight start times and global network schedules,dont we?
Us clever people.

[Claypole]

04:57 BST, now fuck off.

[Uppercut83]

Setanta is a bargain these days for the boxing fan.

[surreal deal]

04:57 BST, now fuck off.
Cant you at least TRY keep it brief and to the point instead of going on and on Claypole?
Mr Kool is a very busy man and hasnt got the time to waste reading all that shit FFS.

[Claypole]

Like ESB pulls the strings of US big fight start times and global network schedules,dont we?
Us clever people.Well... If we ask Mr Bunce nicely, you never know...
He did manage to tell Don King to hurry up on the phone, so he may have some sway. Plus he did let Hopkins have a go at him in his caravan that time for the sake of good TV, so he could call a favour in from Bernard.

I think Mr KOOL should just name the time he wants the fight to start, and we'll see what happens....

Doubt I will make it to fight time; will just stick it on the sky planner. Not as good watching it with a cup of coffee at eight in the morning, but its gotta be done.

Have a good nights boxing entertainment SD. Here's hoping for a multiple knockdown war.

[TFFP]

4:57 does not look like a genuine start time to me.

Can I have a serious answer

I would like to set my alarm, i won't be too pleased if I miss the fight due to uninformed posters

[surreal deal]

Have a good nights boxing entertainment SD. Here's hoping for a multiple knockdown war. You too and i hope it is.
My dad is Irish,so i know you guys can knock them back when the mood takes you.:freddy:cheers:yep(BTW,i know the Mexican doesnt make any sense at all)

Should be fine there, think the Atlantic City and MSG fights are always a bit later than Vegas aswell arent they? So 4 will be sound.

[surreal deal]

Hold on,no,i wont stand for that.:nono

got me dog lying by my feet...so, i'm pretty set.

[GazOC]

No mate, they are earlier as a rule.

[ScouseLad]

No mate, they are earlier as a rule.

Thank fuck for that!! Im struggling already :D

[ishy]

The first undercard fight on HBO is already over. Two more undercard bouts before the main event and Sultana are showing Man Utd-WBA:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[bored]

Great to see our Wayne dominating again. But I can understand your annoyance, maybe they should consider moving the brilliance of Mr Rooney to setanta 2 :D

[Primadonna Kool]

So when the fuck is the fight...

For fuck sake..

[ishy]

Great to see our Wayne dominating again. But I can understand your annoyance, maybe they should consider moving the brilliance of Mr Rooney to setanta 2 :D

I mean the who the fuck is staying up to watch a replay this late? It was a late kick off and you had MOTD at 10.30 why the fuck dyo need to replay it in its entirety at 1am. Put the bloody boxing on!

[ishy]

Now they're rubbing salt into the wounds, showing an advert saying 'Pavlik-Hopkins, tonight on Sultana Sports' We want to watch the undercards as well! Show it now!

[Primadonna Kool]

whens the fucking bastard fight..?

[bored]

Given that it's half 2 I can see how you may be upset.

But I am wondering if the fight starts fairly soon after it comes on how it's meant to go through to 7am. Buncey could be doing a lot of talking tonight. Not that he would complain, he would still run out of time. :D I may end up not going to bed as I watch a bit of cricket then a bit of F1, then a bit of footy, bit of rugby, bit of tennis. Before I know it it'll be 2pm tomorrow.

No idea how they plan to run through to 7am, unless they plan on replaying the undercard fights we've missed and yeah, Buncey could talk on till 9am if they let him. A good night/day of sports lined up but I'll end up going to sleep after the boxing and not resurface till about 12. Hopefully the Aussies will make a strong comeback in the cricket so I'll be able to tease my dad about it :D.

[alba]

is the prgamme not advertised to start at 3am?

[Primadonna Kool]

is the prgamme not advertised to start at 3am?

yes..and 4.30 and it says its going down until 7am..

What the hell is going on..?

What the fuck!

[ishy]

is the prgamme not advertised to start at 3am?

Yeah it is but HBo are showing the second undercard fight and there's only one more after this before the main event. So why are Setanta starting at 3am and going on till 7am? The fight will be long finished by then.

sometimes they show 'earlier' fights on the card at the end of the show..

[ishy]

sometimes they show 'earlier' fights on the card at the end of the show..

True, they do but surely it's better to show them live? Once you've seen the main event you're not too bothered about the undercards unless it's a guranteed cracking fight.

Only 1 winner there I'm afraid and it's not the Aussies as much as I wanted them to win.

So who do people want to win today? I want Bhop to win but get the feeling if he turns this into another wrestling match then I might become a Pavlik fan.

[GazOC]

sometimes they show 'earlier' fights on the card at the end of the show..

Yep, they've done that a few times before.

[Flea Man]

anyone still here? reckon Freeview will be showing it? it usually cuts off at 3. Didn't for Woods-Tarver, but did for fuckin Cotto-Margarito, the biggest fight of the year! beggars belief

[ishy]

On the plus side, the current fight seems a bit of a borefest according to the round by round on the General so we're not missing out on much.

[bored]

I don't want an advert about fucking AIDs. WTF.

[GazOC]

True, they do but surely it's better to show them live? Once you've seen the main event you're not too bothered about the undercards unless it's a guranteed cracking fight.

They've had the main event on a 10 minutes delay before now, I've been watching round 10 of a fight on a HBO stream and round 6 on Setanta "Live" at the same time!:patsch

[ishy]

I don't want an advert about fucking AIDs. WTF.

:lol::lol:lol, yeah. There;s a time for that, now is not it.

[Flea Man]

wow, looks like it's on.

[Primadonna Kool]

Is this the last fight before the MAIN EVENT!!!!

[ishy]

Luevano-Dib is the last fight before the main event.

[ishy]

Good news for Freeview viewers, they're showing the fight though they'll need to change channels at 5am.

[Primadonna Kool]

I think Jim Lampley is going to get emtional tonight and cry..

[SouthpawSlayer]

the better show luevano dib

[Primadonna Kool]

uzEQ4Ad0zDM

[alba]

so are they showing the pavlick/hopkins fith first?

[ishy]

They're showing Luevano-Dib now.

["He's gone!"]

Bunce reckons Khan has lost about 25 stone in recent years. Does he really have to drop alot of weight to make LW? Was he talking about the right boxer sparring with Hatton? Sure he was a supermiddle weight.

Oh yer and remember "life isn't all about sex."

[doug.ie]

just seen smokin joe in the crowd

[doug.ie]

Bunce reckons Khan has lost about 25 stone in recent years. Does he really have to drop alot of weight to make LW?

can believe it about hatton...but thought khan kept down between fights...
either way, thats some stat...

[alba]

can believe it about hatton...but thought khan kept down between fights...
either way, thats some stat...

i remeber hatton was on Gordon ramsey's F word,and he said that last year alone Hatton had lost 13 stone in that year.

[draw99]

Fuckin hell - I'm knackered - when the main event???!!!

[GazOC]

Fuckin hell - I'm knackered - when the main event???!!!
I think they are going till wait until the last undercard fight has finished...;)

[9Ball]

Is anyone going to do a round by round update on here??? I'm stuck at work with no radio and a locked down internet :(

Anyone???

[doug.ie]

Fuckin hell - I'm knackered - when the main event???!!!

[GazOC]

Round one goes to Hops IMHO.

[1stcontact]

hopkins round 10-9

[draw99]

Even round I reckon

[196osh]

Hopkins has much faster hands.

[1stcontact]

this is the most active i have see hopkins in a long while

pavlik hurt??

[GazOC]

Pavlik staggered. Hopkins is boxing very well. Hopkins 2-0 up

[196osh]

2 rounds to 0 Hopkins

[draw99]

Hopkins round 10-9

Fuck - B-hop is looking good. I could be well wrong on this one.

[1stcontact]

Pavlik staggered. Hopkins is boxing very well. Hopkins 2-0 up

i agree:good

saw pavlik throw a sneaky shoulder shot during a clinch:lol:

[GazOC]

Hopkins is showing some great hand speed for an old fart!!

[GazOC]

Hopkins round 10-9

Fuck - B-hop is looking good. I could be well wrong on this one.

i wouldn't mind having that £20 at 9/1 on the stoppage like Flint!!

[196osh]

3-0 Hopkins. :smoke

[1stcontact]

as they say every fighter has one great fight left maybe this is hopkins

hops wobbled him twice hops 3-0 up imo

[draw99]

Hopkins rounf again.

For F*cks sake - why didnt he look this busy against calzaghe!?

[GazOC]

Hopkins again 3-0, less clear this time though.

[GazOC]

Even round, is Hops slowing?

[1stcontact]

4-0 hops closer tho

side note ref looks like a smurf

[196osh]

Even round, is Hops slowing?

Looks like it a bit,

[draw99]

Pavlik aint jabbing.

Hopkins looks like a different fighter.

[GazOC]

Hopkins again, Pavlik is just too slow to get off.

[196osh]

Ive got it 5-0.

Could be 4 with one even.

[1stcontact]

either 5-0 or hops 4 up with 1 even

[196osh]

Hopkins is kicking his ass. :yep

[1stcontact]

even round ??

nice headbutt by hops lol

[GazOC]

Hopkins AGAIN!! I have it 60-55 at the half way mark.

[196osh]

:lol:

Bolo pucnh quality

[9Ball]

Great comments guys, keep it up and a thousand thanks ;)

[1stcontact]

hopkins showboating:rofl :rofl :rofl

[GazOC]

He's going to stop Pavlik!!!

[196osh]

7-0 or 7-1.

:smoke

[draw99]

Bloody hell - Hopkins is looking great.

Pavlik is fucked

[GazOC]

70-64, might be 1 round closer but not any more than that IMHO.

[1stcontact]

hopkins taking a round off Kelly needs a knockout

[GazOC]

BS point deduction from Pavlik.

[1stcontact]

pavlik deducted a point???

[196osh]

Man Pavlik is stuffed.

[GazOC]

With the deduction a 9-9 round in my book, Hopkins didn't do much and at least Pavlik came forward.

[GazOC]

79-73

[1stcontact]

Lampley is asking if Pavlik is being exposed

[196osh]

Point from Hopkins for holding.

[GazOC]

Point from Hopkins just to even it up.

10-9 Pavlik. 89-82

[GazOC]

Even round IMHO. 99-92.

[196osh]

Even round IMHO. 99-92.

Sounds about right. :good

[GazOC]

Even again, 109-102. Getting messy now.

[196osh]

Another one in the bag from Hopkins.

[1stcontact]

last round pavlik getting twatted

[GazOC]

Pavlik hurt again!! "Exposed" is an overused word around here sometimes but it certainly fits the bill here!!

Final Score: 119-111. Maybe you could give Pavlik another even round for 119-112...:huh

Amazing performance from Hopkins!!!

[1stcontact]

bit of afters there

gooooooo hopkins

[196osh]

Hopkins beat the breaks off of him.
