If accessibility is the problem then here's a list of places you should be able to watch the fight

I'm pretty sure I'll be on an airplane when it happens (I'm in Newcastle tonight and I'm flying to Adelaide eaaaarrrrrly tomorrow morning) but if I get to Adelaide in time then sir I am in your debt for that list

De La Hoya will get more consideration from the judges if this fight is close, but I don't think it will be close enough for that to come into play. I like pacman - unanimous decision by two points.

Righto, anyone watching tonight's ITV punch-a-ganza?
The first match will be starting on ITV4, featuring a bloke called Tyson Fury. Who is six foot nine.
― William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:53 (fifteen years ago) link
I was just getting my dinner out of the oven, come back, Booty Luv are stood on the ring entrance, and they are singing. And then the Hungarian lad that Tyson Fury is about to pummel walks between them. And now here's Tyson Fury himself.
I do not get it.
― William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:58 (fifteen years ago) link
Tyson Fury could perhaps be described as a Julian Barratt-looking motherfucker, except he has shaved and is, like, six foot nine.
Rob McCracken! Whey!

Poll?

And Fury pops him in the belly and it's over in just over two minutes. That was not very interesting at all.
― William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:05 (fifteen years ago) link
So now there's how much time to kill before the main event? I hope that prelim was scheduled for, like, 3 rounds.
― Aimless, Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:13 (fifteen years ago) link
BTW, I am not watching this. Just seeing what you post.
― Aimless, Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:14 (fifteen years ago) link
Now signing off. Have fun. I hope it's a barn burner of a fight.
― Aimless, Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:16 (fifteen years ago) link
I missed the second fight cos that lasted one round too. I am not sure what they're gonna do now. Gabriel Clarke has just interviewed Tyson Fury. Again. Now he's talking to his dad.
― William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:31 (fifteen years ago) link
Gabriel Clarke looks remarkably like a Tory MP who's about to be found out for something.

Okay Hannah's letting me have the boxing on now. This one looks promising.

This is looking like a very good fight, actually, that last round the momentum seemed to keep on swinging...

Davis showboating like crazy here.

Boris Becker talks about poker, I turn to ITV1 where they're giving an award to David Renwick. Good on them, If You See God, Tell Him is class.

Olivia Colman with the Twiggy-style haircut - good look.
― William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:59 (fifteen years ago) link
Referee's calling him Davis too, to be fair.
― William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 22:00 (fifteen years ago) link
This is a proper fight eh? Some mental shit from David, he's asking to be knocked down if he keeps blocking with his head like this.
― Me and Ruth Lorenzo, Rollin' in the Benzo (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 6 December 2008 22:01 (fifteen years ago) link
His posture is remarkably similar to Titus Bramble's.
― William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 22:02 (fifteen years ago) link
Great fight. Wright looks remarkably together considering the pummelling his face just took.
― Me and Ruth Lorenzo, Rollin' in the Benzo (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 6 December 2008 22:05 (fifteen years ago) link
Better right hand than Titus, though. Cracking knockout, that.
― William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 22:05 (fifteen years ago) link
And there's a match going on now that they're not showing.
And here's Boris.

This might read odd, but Jon Thaxton's face takes up the entirety of the front of his head. It basically looks as though the rest of his head has been weathered away to leave only his face.

I think I basically mean that I can't see his ears.
Gabriel Clarke is not really a man who knows what he's doing, it would seem.

I know Becker's got a lot of bills to pay but pissing his cash up the wall playing online Poker seems like a bad idea.
― Me and Ruth Lorenzo, Rollin' in the Benzo (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 6 December 2008 22:15 (fifteen years ago) link
Is he actually playing poker or just fronting an ad?

Given I could only see that feller's tie, I almost thought it was Phil Brown.

Lawton is a former victim of Amir Khan, btw. Stopped in 4.

Eek, that is a horrible, horrible cut.

Froch looks a lot like a mate of mine who is also from Nottingham.

Khan's done his feller in two. No idea if he looked good in so doing.
Man, Rawling and McKenzie are wearing some awkward specs there.

First round to Pascal tho I reckon.
― Me and Ruth Lorenzo, Rollin' in the Benzo (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 6 December 2008 23:08 (fifteen years ago) link
Oh, this looks like it's gonna be good. Froch edges it for me, but he's looking nervy. Pascal has, I think, taken to this atmosphere better than him.

Don't go asking if people can become the next Davey Hilton. No-one wants that.

Couldn't call that round. Don't think this is going the distance.
― Me and Ruth Lorenzo, Rollin' in the Benzo (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 6 December 2008 23:12 (fifteen years ago) link
And a quality ending to that round, probably give it Pascal, but I think Froch is bedding in a bit.
