Setanta Sports - Calzaghe Fight
So i've paid a subscription to Setanta Sports to watch this fight tonight with my mates and boof! "No satellite signal is being received", all the other sky digital channels are working but setanta doesn't... If it isn't working by 4am then setanta are giving me my money back.
Zero becomes One, One becomes One Hundred.

Should be okay.
I'll be watching through Virgin Media who aren't the most reliable either. Your best bet is to put a phonecall in now to be sure that you will have reception tonight. Let them know the dealio early before you get disappointed. |

Audley Harrison is on the undercard. Time for his 37th 'I can be a World champion' comeback

HD in Britain is gay. Don't see why we should have to pay more for it.

My dad pays it. I don't complain! But yeah, the HD coverage here is pretty limited. An extra tenner a month and not many channels carry it. More and more will start to do so though.

I think he dominates a 12 round fight. He isn't the best British fighter ever though. He hasn't fought enough world class competition which wasn't his fault. Just a sub par division where he was a world beater. Remember Hopkins refused to fight him in Wales in 2001 after agreeing to do so and his record isn't filled with a bunch of blown up fighters like Trinidad, De La Hoya, Winky Wright, etc. Jermaine Taylor isn't in Calzaghe's league either.

I dunno. The staredown at the weigh in was the first time I've really seen Joe look anything but relaxed, like he was tense/nervous whilst Hopkins looked like Calzaghe normally would. Also, Hopkins has a lot more 'big fight' experience. I think Calzaghe is going to have to convincingly out-box him to win, anything too close is a Hopkins win/draw. Fucking pumped atm, should be awesome

They are the provider, they are the people to call.
Wake mummy and daddy up and ask them to do it. Either that or go to bed. |

Outboxing Hopkins is no easy feat, hell landing a jab is gonna be hard enough, he's old but he's still in great trim.
I think Joe will do it though, people have let the fact that he's a bit of a slapper take away from the fact that he's also a tremendous physical specimin and damn quick, the flurries he throws don't look all that powerful but they get the job done, just ask Jeff Lacy. |

I'm on the case. Last time I stayed up to cheer on Ricky Hatton and Mayweather kicked his ass. This time, it's my homeboy. Calzaghe all the way.

Yeah will you can blame the fuckin stupid british media for the Hatton fiasco, they confused wanting him to win with him actually having a chance.

My mate subscribed to Setanta and brought his Sky viewing card to my house to watch it, but I'm beginning to get the feeling it might get scrambled at 3am... anyone know if it'll work?

I get Setanta free because I got a free upgrade on Virgin last year.
There is an undercard, just only showing a few of his fights. Audley Harrison is up next. |

Anyone need a sopcast link?
sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/37351 Its mostly good, having its moments though. Audley is swamping this guy. How did they find a guy bad enough to make Audley look dominant? |
