Good lad!

What with the fight being in Germany, I'd imagine it'll be kicking off somewhere between ten and half past.

Sky Living HD, I think.

LOLZ!!!!!!!!!

It's not on till one in the morning mate, you are absolutely fine to go out enjoy your evening and just take a steady walk home after last orders, to be honest you will probably have time to call in for a take away as well.

Funny old bunch arent ya!

Glad you noticed, but you're right, I'm hilarious.

Some of the boys are on an anti "LOL" campaign at the moment, don't take it personally! As for the fight, I'd make sure I was in front of a telly from 10pm onwards if I were you.

Just saving you from yourself, richie my firend.

There is a guy who prowls the boards, goes by the name of Rowley although he has a couple of other pseudonyms, and he thinks he is top dog round here. Bit of a knuckledragger, meathead, skullchrusher type. You can't miss him, he is the guy who will get Charley Burley into a "greatest boxer of the last five years" thread.

Anyways, he can't stand the use of LOL, LMAO, "owned" or "stalker". Use them at your peril, just a word to the wise. He is a Yorkshireman and you don't want to upset them. He will hunt you down and beat you to death with a rolled up copy of the Socialist Worker.

Provided he's not busy cruising round in his lorry looking fir a prostitute to murder.

Ouch! One of the best posts ever SBS. Good one.

LOL cheers for the warning guys!

LOL
ROFLMAO

Love the way Rowley blows his top when someone uses LOL but doesn't bat an eyelid when someone compares him to Peter Sutcliffe......

To be expected, L*L is far more annoying.

Anyone actually got the start time?

Should be after the last fight on the undercard.

melv500 wrote:Anyone actually got the start time?

Wladimir and David.

melv500 wrote:Anyone actually got the start time?

I believe it starts when the bell for the first round goes.

Could be wrong though.

OK cheers guys, much appreciated. I'll set my watch accordingly to the last fight on the undercard and when the first bell goes. Can just relax and wait for it to start now!

Don't listen to them, they are pulling your leg.

The fight should begin at around quarter past.

Melv not sure if this is an accurate guideline but went over for the fight that was cancelled between the two and the main event ended up coming on around 10 which is obviously nine our time, but would guess for this one to work with British TV 9.45 to 10 would be more likely but that is just an educated guess.

Cheers Rowley. Yep think that is right. Just text my mate who's going and he said 9pm GMT.

We're currently BST, remember.

alma wrote:One would imagine they will delay as late as possible to accommodate USTV

Yep I was thinking that, remember Hatton v Kostya and Calzaghe v Lacy were on after 1am to suit the states.

Whilst other fights from Germany have been on at our time around 10ish, do we think there is scope for a later start this weekend?

So the vast boxing knowledge of 606 v2 unites and concludes that no-one has a clue when it will start... better make sure i have plenty of beers in

Milky

I would stay infront of your TV from around 9.30pm or so - 10pm latest! If it does start much later then i'll be absolutely trollied, but oh well!

YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN!

just checked and hbo's coverage starts at 445 eastern, which i think is 945. They don't go in much for sky's 5 hour build up strategy as with most of their fights being stateside they don't have to, so i'm thinking we're looking at a 10ish start.

But i've been wrong before!

Michael Buffer will be ring announcer, I presume?

Probably just David... Wlad will be splending most of the evening in toilets crapping himself!

Doesn't matter to me, I'll be glued to the build up from when it all starts anyway. The only time I'll get up is to answer the door to the curry delivery bloke, and possibly to run to the bog to deal with any code brown emergency precipitated by said curry.

To be fair the start time will be based on the results of all the fights that go on before it. If all of them go the full 12 rounds, we could be in for a long night! The longer the better in my book as i doubt i'll be back in the house to watch it until around 2AM (GMT)

This is a Hayemaker/K2 promotion, the undercard will consist of promo videos of their previous wins and a live performance by some cheesy eurotrash power ballad rock band. Wlads ring entrance might delay things by an hour or two though.

To be fair though, the entrances are usually better than the fights.

Did you see the Ali mock up ring entrance for wlad v peter II? Stunning. Shame about the one sided snooze festival that followed.

Yeah saw that also... that was very impressive. Expect both fighters will want to put on a big show entrance.

Vitalis comeback fight with the holograms of Foreman, Frazier, Lewis, Holyfield and Tyson was also very impressive

Is this fight being delayed for America?, if not i would expect it to start between 10 and 11.

Does Wlad come in to 'Hells Bells' as well?

As an aside, Boxing is the only sport in the world where they don't tell you, or at least give you an idea of, the start time. So village in this day and age.

David asked me sing da national anthem in gangsta rap, I declined, I'm busy supporting Joe McElderry in pop star to opera star, there's not just one thing on the tv this weekend you know, live a little.

Come on Joe you little willy watcher

How's the rap coming along Eric?

to some degree kev certainly, but in my experience, they factor in a certain amount of time for the undercard fights (rarely 12 rounders anyway) and if they finish early, there's just a longer gap between fights or before the main event. Don't think it's unheard of for them to bounce an undercard fight from before to after the main event either. And this is Germany, where everything runs with teutonic efficiency. tv money is king, so i'm banking on the hbo time slot.

But like I said.... i've been wrong before!

Here's hoping your sky + is in good working order and that your mrs doesn't cancel it when she sees it clashing with casualty

Start: From 2200 BST

I think that's the main event and not the start of the schedule but am not entirely sure.

Ps. Does anyone happen to know if it'll be on the radio, in case I can't find a good stream?

Thanks mate.

Keep plugging away with the rap, form is temporary but class is permanent! The right rhyme will come in time!

I will have to log in to v2 through my phone in order to check the rap out at some point tomorrow!
