    It was not ppv on sky but my sky bill is 50 pound a month so u are paying for it really
    True. But atleast it wasn't ppv. Sky Sports really ****s people over. You pay for digital, then you pay extra for the sports. THen they want you to pay extra upon your extras for ppv's and for premiership matches.

    Its disgusting how they rob the British sports fan.

      probably b/c of the undercard. D-Hop and Rock Allen should've been shown instead of Andrade for starters.

        I'm proud to say that I knew this fight wasn't going to be anything special and didn't waste the money. The next ppv I'll buy will be the Hatton-Mayweather "Super fight."

          It turned up the way I expected in the main event with Hopkins/Wright. I knew the fight wouldn't be too exciting, but at least it was competitive. The undercard fights with Katsidis/Amonsot and Linares/Larrios were good enough for me. Katsidis and Amonsot put up a FOTY canidate and Linares showed that he could be a star in the making. I was impressed with him and had heard about him before in boxing magazines, but I didn't realize how tall he was. He dominated Larrios and put him down, only the third guy to do that. It seems like he's got some big time fight in his future and I look forward to watching him more in the US.

            The Hopkins-Wright fight, it wasn't boring. Even with their styles, they tried to make it exciting. BHOP, his style does not complement Wright's style. BHOP's style is awkward(spelling?) on last nights fight. He was impressive against Tarver, but not against Winky.

            Linares-Larios was a good fight. I don't think Larios is wash-up or shot already. He just fought a younger and better fighter.

            While i was rooting for Amonsot to win against Katsidis, due to being KO'ed twice in his lost, i thought he would't last the fight. He suprised me in the 3rd and 4th by using jabs. Even though he did not hurt Katsidis, the WBO champ felt the punches of Amonsot. Even with the knockdown(2nd round), after the 4th round, Amonsot had a chance to win the fight by just boxing at a distance. But as you see in the later rounds, he would let himself get close by Katsidis, which he should have tried to escape. I notice also, that the scores were close on 2 of the judges.

            Is it worthy of the 50 bucks, yes.

                  Why,u got two great fights on the undercard,a possible FOTY,yeh Winky vs Bernard wasnt great,but it wasnt terrible either,just because Bhop vs Winky was the main event doesnt mean u judge the whole PPV on them,when u get two sick undercard fights you should be happy

                    It seems to be a trend with HBO; the DLH-Mayweather main event also stunk but the undercards were very entertaining...

                      PPV cards like that are whats GOOD for boxing! How in the world is that bad?

                      a FOTY candidate, a 2nd round knockout, and a new born mexican star who is amazingly talented it seems.

                      Event he Main event was better then expected.

                      If this fight WAS NOT PPV, then nobody would have ever seen KATSIDIS-AMONSTOT (other then the 9 people in the crowd at the time lol) which was a great fight
