This fight is being televised in 44 countries. I'm very excited about it - two fighters who are both very talented, technically skilled, and undefeated square off! The best young American heavyweight vs. the best young Russian heavyweight.

Yeah, me too. If I don't want the result spoiled I have to stay off the internet for 4-5 hours. Plus they're showing the Jones-Trinidad fight first on HBO.

Yeah it kind of has that old cold war feel to it. It sucks that the fight won't be live on HBO so Im either going to have to watch it on a stream or stay off the internet until the fight is over.
