    I hated it, Up until 5AM to watch it in Spanish. I was up 'till 6AM for JMM-Casa as well. I even sat through Klitschko-Iggy at 5AM!
    Yep JMM Casa was a world record late finish for me. However, who could forget the man in the cupboard? I think we deserve to know more about him.

      I am sad that I don't know Spanish, maybe then we could have unwravelled the mystery of Cupboard Man.

        He reminds me of a leader with no voice. He has the talent to do it, but is held back by something inside him.

        He's a **** as well, a proper one at that.
        I may have to send you a lot of money to provide me with this as well as money to pay for international next day shipping.
        Audley's whole career!

        You're a lucky man and a true fan of the common man.

          The hotdog eating yanks know sweet ****all about the sport, they're oblivious to boxing outside the US.
          There opinions and knowledge on non-US fighters primarily comes from reading ****ty biased news items on the web.

              But US fans tend to disregard boxing to a point, where they don't watch any fights in Europe, Oceania and Asia. Always limited to whats put in front of them, which in a majority of cases is the best, however in a lot of cases the best is overseas, which isn't seen.

              But for European and other boxing fans. The best which is sometimes in front of them is watched. On top of the best which is also in the US.

              What im trying to get at is, European fans and Asian fans in some circumstances, watch the best quality boxing.
              This is true. Many of the best fight cards are taking place in Germany, like the Virchis - Gomez card this weekend - I would love to be there. Unlike the US cards, there's often several good matchup on cards over there, instead of just one.

              There a lot of mediocre fight cards in the US, one good fight is the most we can expect, sometimes none. There hasn't been a really good one near where I live in the Pacific Northwest for a long time.

              Greedy promoters like Arum and King have ruined boxing in the US.

                That's this weekend? I didn't know

                I'll have to get a stream for this one, do you know where might be streaming it?

                  I'm hoping to find one myself. If you do, let me know!

                  There's FOUR really good matchups on this card.

                    OK, I'll take a look. You're normally good with the German card links so I thought you might know, maybe BatTheMan will be able to help.

                    I will take a look around though, I really want to see Virchis.

                      I think Italian sausages are way better than hot dogs.
                      I try to watch every fight I can from all over the globe via stream.

                      I think most hardcore fans try to to an extent.
                      Sure we have a lot of homers that aren't interested in boxing overseas.
                      But then again, they aren't interested in anything at all internationally let alone boxing.
