The **BOXING** thread

Rumours that Nathan Cleverly is going to switch from Frank Warren to Matchroom. Should make a re-match with Bellew a bit easier to line up...hope they hold off on that until at least one of them holds a title though. Bit of a pity their respective moves to Cruiserweight didn't happen a few months earlier; that fight would have been the perfect support to Froch-Groves. Could you imagine what the pressers would have been like with those four going at it all guns blazing?! Would have sold almost as many tickets for that as the show itself!

Now confirmed...

Pacquiao Bradley 24/7 shows starting on BoxNation from Tuesday, some 'Freeview' for non subscribers + the 'Face Off' interview.

Boxnation online , how is the quality ?

I finally have fibre broadband in our area so streaming is a reality now, Virgin don't provide TV here and I have a great dislike for SKY so not going down that route but really want to try it our once my broadband is installed later this month but cannot seem to find any real opinions of it on the net anyone here use it ?

[FwdConvert]

Really don't know as I have a TV subscription but it's extra for the web access! Couldn't be worse than their previous sd feed, second only to Motors TV in 60s quality awfulness.

I do now get the HD feed (for an extra £2 pm) yet when I try to set a recording it checks for (a new) ppv fee, then fails and lost the broadcast several times last weekend and, as we were watching having paused for a while (Sky feed), then missed the entire Hall fight!

[Busso GTA]

Ill bite the bullet as it is run by livesport who do a whole host of streams cannot be any worse the the other non legit streams about the net , Ill give my opinion once its up and running .

Anyone heading to the Carl Frampton fight this evening? Can't bloody wait!!

[menousername]

is it on TV ?

[JuniorD]

Had to turn down an invite to Frampton's fight tonight. I'll just have to tune in to Radio Ulster on the wireless like back in the good old days. It should be a great night's entertainment in the Odyssey. He's looking in amazing shape.

[Robatr0n]

I know it's early days but Frampton is a real joy to watch. He seems like he has the potential to go all the way. I think that even now he gives anyone bar Rigondeaux a working over.

Should be a great fight!

[bmthnick1981]

I dont see it ending well for Macrinelli (spelling?) tonight, any predictions?

[STW2010]

He's going to get battered I'm afraid. I give him less chance than I gave Harrison against Haye.

[hornetrider]

Prizefighter is bonkers tonight!!

[hornetrider]

Quality Europop and now cello quartet playing GSTQ ahead of the Enzo fight. Don't they know he's Welsh ffs?!

[bmthnick1981]

The mustache on the singer is too funny.

[hornetrider]

I hate to say it but before this starts, I wish Enzo wasn't back in the ring. He's taken some proper beatings in the last few years.

I think you're probably right, I suspect he needs the money.

[hornetrider]

Enzo's eye already - ouch. Not good.

[hornetrider]

I'd say he's got a fractured eye socket there, it's come up like a melon. Sad, but got to be the end of the road for Enzo.

[bmthnick1981]

Yea something is busted for sure. Bunce is talking about a rematch...
