Yep can understand this feeling but to meii have genuinely not looked forward to a card as much as this one (taking UK time into consideration) so I have no problem chipping in a fiver to my Bro to watch this. I know all about the 'principle' argument as well as I often use that in the past but to me it is a card simply not be be missed. I will watch from 5 but the run from 7pm until 11.30 or so when it finishes is superb imo and I don't there has ever been 3 full world titles defended on one bill on UK shores before.

I also think Ryder Blackwell will steal the show but a lot may miss is as this will be on just after 7 when the cup final is in its closing stages.
 


going to the o2 tomorrow night to watch this. travelling over from Navy base in Portsmouth to London tomorrow morning.

day on the lash then head to o2 to watch the cup final and the fights.

this man is crazy. always entertaining.

 
any ideas of approx start times of the various fights?

I've heard 3am being branded about, so i'll set the alarm or 2.30 as i missed the Canelo-Kirkland fight last time. Set my alarm switched the TV on and Canelo was just getting announced as the winner :lol:.

I'll go to bed around 11ish, get up for 2.30am watch Khan and have a lie in tomorrow, then get to the gym and go to my bro's for 4.30pm on Saturday. Really pumped for tomorrow's card. All things considered, never looked forward to a card more than this.
 
Khan didn't look good at all last night IMO, couldn't make a case for Algieri winning but 117-111 is a hugely generous card. If Algieri can find him at will as was the case at times then Khan is getting sparked again as soon as he meets another puncher, for the first time I'd make Brook a favourite against him.

Sky's commentary gets slated and rightly so but fuck me the BoxNation commentary/punditry last night was dreadful.

Aye? Yet to see it yet. A few said Kahn lost a little positive publicity over the fight. Though Kahn would have dealt with him comfortably.

Pretty much this. I'm a big Khan fan, but he was getting caught way too easily and he never even threatened to stop the guy who's been on his arse more than his feet in his previous 2 fights.

So would I just for the humiliation.

If he takes that many straight and overhand rights from Chris f***ing Algieri imagine how many times Floyd is gonna hit him.
