    I always stay up because I am too afraid I will sleep and miss the fight. Sleep after the fight 6am, knackered the next day but good sleep Sunday night.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Every fight because although I live in England I work New York hours, so thanks to globalisation I get to watch the fights and a lot of Yankees games. And get up at lunchtime.

    Yankees suck
    Oakland A's

    Didn't know you rooted for the Yanks... Good deal. I'm a A's fan.

    I like the A's. It's only a matter of time till Billy Beane wins them a World Series. If the Cardinals can do it with Jeff Weaver on the mound, the A's can do it.

    Were Tyson fights ever on live? I seem to remember that Sky were the first people to show live fights from the States.

    I try and stay up to watch the fights, but sometimes, like on Saturday night I either can't hold my booze long enough and end up falling asleep during the undercard, or I lose the energy and sod off upstairs anyway.

    And as for plans to wake up especially for the fights....they never work.

    Tyson fights were shown on world of sport and they showed the fight with Marvis Frasier. The first live fight was Berbick and they showed all the defences live. He went to Sky for the Douglas fight, if he stayed on ITV he would have been undefeated

    Same with Naz and Eubanks

    Lewis never lost on Sky his deafeats were on an obscure cable channel which I fortunately had and the BBC.
