dlofnep

Duddy, Khan, Hatton/Mayweather, Ponce de Leon, Lacy/Manfredo..

It's going to be a savage night for boxing from 9 onwards. All aboard the boxing train!

yayamark

has anyone got an exact timetable for tonight ?

Took tonight off work aint moving from the armchair watching man u now pool later and the boxing great day planned

was supposed to get an xmas tree but looked outside and ft!

theone

khan/earl and duddy/eastman might clash hope they don't they both start around 9 on utv for khan and rte/bbc for duddy

for sky box office
the british bill starts at 11 the american one starts at 2am ending with the hatton fight at 4am maybe later if all the fights go the distance.

Be interesting to see how lacy gets on Calzaghe is another level to him but he's still a good fighter.
ponce de leon is a pretty exciting fighter aswell so be nice to see him in action.

Here's the best timetable I can put together:
21:00-RTE 2 , coverage starts of the John Duddy v Howard Eastman card .
I reckon Duddy won't be fighting till about 10 so they'll probably show either Paul McCloskey or Stephen Haughian's fight first and both are taking a big step up so that will be interesting . Martin Lindsay is also on the undercard and Andrew Murray(who fights James Gorman for the Irish-Light-Welterweight title)

21:55-ITV 1 , I hope to god Khan's fight with Earl doesn't start till at least 10:30 but I get the feeling it will be the first fight on .

23:00-Sky Box Office(British part of the undercard)
Jamie McDonnel v Chris Edwards- vacant British Super-Flyweight title
Gary Woolcombe v Marcus Portman- vacant British Light-Middleweight title
Jason Booth v Matthew Edmonds- vacant Commonwealth Bantamweight title
Ali Nuumbeme v Craig Watson- defense of Commonwealth Welterweight title for Nuumbembe

02:00-Sky Box Office(and we're off to the States)
Wes Ferguson v Edner Cherry
Daniel Ponce De Leon v Eduardo Escobedo-WBO Welterweight title
Jeff Lacy v Peter Manfredo
Floyd Mayweather v Ricky Hatton(about 04:00) WBC Welterweight title and Ring Welterweight title .

Also if you're interested you could probably get a stream for the German card with Arthur Abraham defending his Middleweight title against Wayne Elcock , Danillo Haussler taking on Christian Sanavia for Sanavia's European Super-Middleweight belt and Danny Williams taking on Ukranian prospect Oleg Platov .

Sky's website says their British card starts at 22:00 but I'm sure that they've been advertising 23:00 on tv the past few weeks .

Anyway hopefully I can make things clearer a little bit on in the night .

To be truthful that all came from the head ,although I did check to make sure of the time for the Khan card. I thought it was 22:00..........how wrong I was

I read somewhere that hatton/mayweather fight starts at 2am.

The (televised)undercard starts at 2am , I already knew beforehand that Mayweather v Hatton was starting after 4am and when I was ordering the fight the nice Scottish lady on the phone(It's always a Scottish woman) told me it would start between 4-5 am .

Btw a stream for the Abraham-Elcock card will be available here http://sport.ard.de/sp/boxen/news200712/03/stream_boxen_071203.jsp
or sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/26262 if you prefer
Starts at 21:10 our time .

Ponce De Leon looked really off his game last night, as did Lacy.

have to agree ponce de leon looked terrible and lacy only looked slightly better i think calzaghe ruined him .

It's not the Calzaghe fight it's cause his shoulder is ****ed .

In his first fight back against Tyspko he was looking fantastic for 2 rounds , rocking Tsypko back with that left jab and looking like he was about to ko him . Then he tore his rotator cuff and it turned into a close fight where Tsypko maybe should of got the nod .

A rotator cuff injury is very serious and fighters are often never the same because of it , Lacy couldn't throw a jab last night(something that was still very good against Tsypko till he got injured) and because of that aswell as not being able to really use his left at all he looked **** .

It will probably go down in history as Calzaghe ruined him(he probably played some part) but the real reason Jeff Lacy isn't a monster anymore is that there's no 'Left Hook' in Lacy anymore or should that be left jab .

HollowMan

Impressed with Duddy but I have to say I felt sorry for Andrew Murray

He was boxing the head off Gorman, who then butted him and opened a serious cut over his eye

As soon as they said it was going to points there wa sonly going to be one winner anyway. I expect murray will drop back to lightweight and if McDonagh has the balls to put up his title, Murray will eat him alive...

What do yiz reckon?

it's not all calzaghe, lacy is a good fighter I seen a few of his fights pre-calzaghe was a bit dissapointed with his performance thats all.It must be frustrating for him,if it wasn't for his shoulder, him and kessler would of been a great fight not on current form(assuming calzaghe steps up to light heavy that is)
