TSN's gonna carry Tarver - Johnson live on the 18th! Just put it up on their TV schedule.

Most of the stuff on TSN I can't stand but their boxing coverage is awesome :D :D .

LOL...Wells is my last name, which is why I picked that as my username. Not exactly all that original, I guess :cool: .

Original enough, I'd say. Hey, at least you're not named after an old cartoon character from the 70's, like I am. :o

Anyways...I just finished checking TSN's site, and they'll be showing a replay of the Wright/Mosely fight tomorrow at 8 pm et. And they'll also be showing the replay of the Barrera/Morales fight on Friday, also at 8 pm et.

Just in case you, or any other Canadians haven't seen those ones yet (like me).

I caught the Barrers/Morales replay when they showed the Taylor-Joppy fight last Saturday (that will probably be on the card as well on Friday, even though it's not shown on the schedule).

Russ Anber (Canadian boxing trainer and a host of a boxing show on the same network, for those who don't know) pushes hard to get these fights on the air. It's awesome that they can get stuff like Wright/Mosley and Mayorga/Trinidad replays because PPV locks this stuff up pretty tight, even after the fights are over. They've found other broadcasts (non-HBO) that they can get the rights to so that's how they get them on the air.

Thanks! It sucks that we can't get HBO or Showtime up here cause we miss out on some good stuff sometimes. At least there's always file sharing to get the vids I miss :D .

Thanks a bunch, Bombardier! You're absolutely right about TSN. I'm a sports buff but I don't watch that channel. Would you know if any Canadian station carry HBO fights? I haven't seen the Barrera-Morales III yet. :cool:

(It's minus 22 right now from where I am!!)
