Sounds good, it will get a bigger audience and HBO will save the money for other fights down the line.

Cool good to hear, although it sucks that I don't get ESPN Classic in HD. Not used to watching fights in non HD anymore.

Sounds good, but I wish it were in HD. I wonder if ESPN 2 will do a replay like they did for vitali.

And to think groups of 20-30 people used to huddle around a radio to listen to a Joe Louis fight.

Yeah I don't get it in HD either, maybe they will show it again on ESPN2 but I think the Vitali/Gomez fight wasn't on HD on the rebroadcast. Not sure don't remember.

Too bad we'll need to suffer through Klitschko hater Teddy Atlas doing the commentary.

It's hilarious that Kim scooped ESPN's own Dan Rafael on this story.

Kim is the best in the biz.

That guy has a pretty big hard on for the Klitschko's and Delahoya.

That is what I call progress! Just think if you could only listen to the HBO announcers without seeing the action, the crazy views people would end up with on fights.

It'll be even tighter when Atlas is in mid-sentence talking **** when Chagaev gets put in a coma from a Wlad right.

Tessitore is a joy to listen to at least.

If they could tell Atlas to **** off that week and have the team of Tessitore and BK do it, I'd be pretty damn happy.
