Now I'm not entirely sure I want to watch another spinks fight, but Thanks Diane!:D
I sure as hell Am tunning in...
Alexander The Greats got a bright future ahead of him.
Can def. see him fighting Paulie in the future.
I hope they feature Marcus Johnson this will be the 1st time I see him. :)
I've read good things about him we'll see.
DonKingNetwork.tv

I am gonna watch it with some of the guy's here that used to train with Verno when he was just coming up.....Verno is a good guy and I have known him a pretty long time....Even trained his son's Josh and Thage in the amateurs...Would be nice to see him grab one more title make a defense then ride off into the sunset....I don't see it happening against Spinks though...Truth is IMO no one in the SMW division is beating him any time soon
This is really an under the radar fight .Did this even make someones prediction thread ?Really glad to see Phillips getting a Big go at it ,The bad news is It Involves Spinks :p This guy makes me yearn for an upcoming Offensive Explosion along the lines of Wlad.......Quote:

Just to be safe, everyone viewing the Spinks fight better tape pillows to their head so they don't crack their skulls open when they fall asleep.
This fight has the biggest spread of any fight Vegas has covered this year (that I know of). My dad actually called me (he doesn't know anything about pugilism) and asked if that was going to be a good fight since it was near home. I said it wasn't one for a novice to stomach. Or the booze..... ha
Why do people hate on Cory Spinks so much?
And if someone responds try not to use the word "run" he doesnt have any punching power do you expect him to stand and trade?
have you seen Taylor-Spinks? Or any Spinks fight? he is a shitty boxer to watch and a shitty personality to boot.
You mean did i watch Spinks outbox and make stupid a fighter that was touted as the next great middleweight then get robbed in the decision?Quote:

There is a reason why this fight is on Thursday, and free on the Internet because Spinks is boring. Simple.
I actually like Spinks. I get mad when people compare him to Zahir Raheem because he is 100 levels above Raheem in terms of skill and watchability. And the Taylor fight, well he couldn't have made that exciting.
However, if you watch the Karmazin bout, he was electrifying for the first half of the fight. In and out beautifully, WITHOUT HOLDING. I like it. I'll watch it, I like Spinks.
And this internet broadcast is GREAT. How many worthy cards have we missed because they weren't aired or only aired in other countries? Say what you want about Don King, this is GREAT. Internet TV seems like it should be the next big thing. I know my monitor is better then my TV, and if we could get more fights on the internet without having to go Sopcast, that would be awesome.
I know that a few undercards of big events have been broadcast on Yahoo TV. We need to see more of this. There is no excuse, with all this technology we have and the relative cheapness of filming an event, that we should ever miss a fight of any note. It's ridiculous. Don King is doing the right thing here, I'm happy, hope to see A LOT more of this. You can't force the major networks to pick up a fight but in the internet there is always a medium to broadcast.
What a rare Thursday, this on the internet and Andre Ward - Rubin Williams on FSN.
:appl::goodpost:....100% agreedQuote:

I keep trying to find the link for registering but I cannot manage to locate it.
It's funny I always find Corey's ring entrances must watch viewing, then I switch off until its over and have another laugh at his post fight interview.Quote:

What's ironic though is that even though he looks like he has an IQ less than Koko the Gorilla he's actually one of the smartest fighters around.
Tis a mystery to me.......
I'm getting nothing. It says Authorised for a split second then it says Error. Bastard.
same buddy. I thought this was just meQuote:

Live 8 PM EST FREE Championship Fight
we are in EDT, so EST is an hour behind, it should start at 9 PM ET
Haha, I love Don King. Watch the video of him visiting the 101st Airborne. The guy is a crack up.
"God Bless America, God Bless our troops and don't forget God Bless George Walker Bush"
Haha. But hopefully this starts soon. We also have Andre Ward fighting Rubin Williams on FSN tonight. Was at the fight, definitely looking forward to seeing it again if this ever starts >:mad
Sal is a master of timezones. That's serious, Sal always seems to have the answer to Time Zone questions. So we have to wait another 30 minutes? Damn. Oh well, at least I can go watch the tournament instead of waiting here watching Don King videos.Quote:

I am in the UK and trying to watch this online, it keeps coming up saying offline and error at the bottom of the screen any people in USA have this problem or is it only us outside USA ?
I got a "click here for free fight" flashing yellow button on the right side of the player and now I'm watching Palacio vs. Page. Round 5 just ended.
Its playing the undercard but its real choppy. Zack Page fighting now.
I finally got the same thing, the fight came on, but it if frickin stalling big time! :mad:Quote:
