The BOXING Thread

Good win for Amir Khan last night, finally proved that he can take a punch and hasn't got a glass chin.

One of the things I miss most about living in North America was the outstanding boxing coverage which entertained me most evenings. And the quality of it too. And of course the inimitable Max Kellerman. I'm so out of touch over here

Just as bad, here, virtually all the decent boxing is on PPV. Thank god for online streaming and lock ins at my local pub.

I would love to see Vitali fight the winner of any possible Briggs and Haye bout.

Vitali is a great fighter, underrated I might go even as far as saying, but I've always had my doubts as to whether Haye or Briggs could match him.

If Briggs ever fought Haye, I might give the advantage to Haye, since he's 10 years his junior.

Briggs will never step in the ring with a Klitschko again after the beating Vitale just put on him, and it remains to be seen if Haye will ever fight one either.

yeah it sucks hey? I had a REALLY basic cable package in Canada, like 20 channels and boxing was still on every single night, ESPN if I remember rightly, absolutely brilliant.

There is SO much fucking boxing on here it's awesome, you can easily find boxing on TV every day at any given time, it's great.

yeah rub it in why don't you. Sports TV over there is the best. I miss watching the boxing, nine ball and the cheerleading competitions lol

I never got into the wrestling, but I loved 9 ball Especially the nine ball challenge, it's good to see Canada and the US square off
