Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 10, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) some Channel 5 action tonight if anyones up for it: I'll be tuning in from 10pm. Always enjoy a Sam Eggington fight. Dont know anything about Jkitou other than hes a former pro footballer who moved into boxing, he's 15-0 and odds wise its pretty close so should be decent. Filip Hrgovic is back on DAZN too. Its on at a decent hour as its in Austria, think i'll skim that when im done with Eggington. here's the full Friday run down: Edited September 10, 2021 by Egg Shen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 10, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Well, in a week where everything in boxing seems to turning to shit, Eggington/Jzitou go and possibly have the fight of the year in a half empty arena in Coventry. What a fight. basically that, for 12 rounds. Edited September 10, 2021 by Egg Shen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 11, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2021 Yeah that was a cracker. Struggling to think of a fight I’ve enjoyed more this year, to be honest. Except maybe Canelo vs Saunders but that’s more for my own sadistic reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 11, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2021 Yep, tremendous action. Channel 5 has a habit of delivering good fights under the radar, just wish they'd do a few more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 27, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) its early in the week, but theres nothing to talk about from last weekend outside of Joshua/Usyk. This weekend, the first show of Sky's new partnership with Boxxer (crap name): Has an air showcase about it. Sky wanting to show off their new stable as well as putting new wrinkles on the production, but it aint like we aren't familar with whats on display. Still, Eubank is usually must-see and will likely wanna put in a show as the new 'face' of Sky Boxing. I know nothing of Sven Elbir.

David Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 So, is Sky Sports Boxing going to be an actual themed channel on Sky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 27, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 27, 2021 I was under the impression that it was, but its on Main Event Saturday. Maybe that's coming later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I hope it does become a channel, as it would be cool having Sky's back catalogue of material basically playing 24/7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Will it be one of those “Seasonal” things that changes now and then? Like how Sky Golf or whatever exists for the majors and Ryder Cup, or Sky NFL that isn’t on for 9 months of the year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 27, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 27, 2021 well, Sky are off to a flyer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Doesn't make much difference really, they've just replaced one no-name with another. It's a showcase event to introduce the Sky audience in general to Eubank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 28, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 28, 2021 very true, you could always argue that is that even needed at this point though? Eubank seems to have been the face of so many channels and promoters now. Hopefully this one sticks, they get this out of the way then line up a big fight. Sounds like a Eubank/Saunders PPV is the plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
