    Wow,not shown in teh UK.I don't even pay attention to what they show here,downloading all the way!

    And if people have that atitude of not watching smaller fighters,then they are nuts! And I do recall Bilbo making a comment like that but he's changed his opinion during his time here,heck I think he even watched Calderon v Cazares and though it was awesome!

    yeah Bilbo changed his opinion but he's a good example of the casual fan.. I used to work in a bar where I had boxing on all the time, 8 out of 10 people would come in, see the boxing and go "oh great boxing, are there HEAVYWEIGHTS fighting"

    Wouldn't matter how good the fight on was they'd fuck off if weren't heavyweights.. incredible really

    ....just tell them they are heavyweights, they won't know the difference


    Everyone got like that because they saw Tyson....little did they know Tommy Hearns was doing virtually the same thing in the lighter weights

    I believe it's to do with the KO factor. The bigger the guys the more likely a KO..

    Although guys like Marquez-Vazquez blow that theory out the water

    I reckon we're looking at this more likely to have a KO than Wlad v Sultan last week. Anyone going to do an RBR on this, cause I don't think it's being shown in the UK.

    Heavier weights are definately getting harder to watch. I don't remember the last heavy weight contest I really enjoyed. Would anyone favour a weight limit on the heavy weight division being set with fighters above that fighting at a "Super Duper Heavy Weight" level?

    Maybe then the dross of overweight fighters could fight at "Super Duper " level and let the more athletic, skilled big guys fight at Heavyweight.

    Or am I just talking crap?

    Just checked the Setanta listings and it isn't on, bullshit. It would cost next to fuck all to screen it since the purses are already decided.

    I'vebeen saying this for a while... Let the freaks fight each other and Guys like Ruslan and Sultan can have a propper fight.

    I just cheked the Setanta web site and can't find any mention of this fight. That makes it another example of how us Brits are missing out on world class action on the telly! If anyone finds out if its going to shown on any channel over here please post!
