Does anyone have a link to a website showing our lads' fight tonight in Las Vegas (Ricky Hatton).

Any help will be much appreciated.

I'm not sure if they are running a simulcast via the web... which probably will cost a few pounds. Is the fight blacked out in the UK?

Not sure. I reckon it will be on but we will get fleeced. Sky will show it and charge us a £15 one off payment. I was hoping I'd get it knocked off. A long shot I know but always worth a try. Cheers for the info anyway, I'll keep my eye on it.

No problem for the info, have an extra bass for me tonight. At least now you have a boxer to cheer on since Lennox retired.

Lewis was Canadian anyway - only came here for the exposure.

We have a few - Joe Calzaghe is up there with the very best. He absolutely demolished your man Jeff Lacey and Lacey was highly fancied. Calzaghe is unbeaten in 40 odd fights and the Americans don't fancy him because they know he'll wipe the floor with them - they're avoiding him like the plague.

Then there's Amir Khan, young lad up and coming - you'll see him in the US in a few years time - very quick and can bang for a little bloke.
