    In the UK we get Ringside on Sky Sports. It's a weekly show that rounds up all the action and gives some buildup to upcoming fights. Admittedly it's 99% about promoting Sky's boxing coverage but it really is excellent. It's presented by Adam Smith (commentator and now the man in charge of Sky's boxing coverage) and Johnny Nelson (former WBO and European cruiserweight champ).

    It's a really great way to keep an eye on the domestic scene and I imagine it's a successful promotional tool for Sky's PPVs. Is there anything of its type in the US? I don't understand how you're supposed to know what's going on in boxing by only seeing fights at the weekends.

    The closest is the inside studio segements for Friday Night Fights, but no there isn't. I wish there was one.

        I suppose it would be difficult for any US network to cover everything because it's broken down between HBO, ESPN, Showtime and whoever else shows boxing. Really it's just Sky in the UK now, with Primetime buying the odd fight Sky doesn't want.
