[uraharakisuke]

The woman host is the only thing holding my interest.

And the music.

Russians. :conf

 

[Roe]

They're doing a good job of dragging this out so far anyway

Niko Valuev in the crowd. Did he ever officially retire?

 

[uraharakisuke]

Pretty sure he's retired for good.

Thanks for the link btw.

 

[Post Box]

This is starting to get abit mental now

 

[Roe]

Still not started?

 

[Roe]

Ok I'm watching again now. What the fuck is this shit? :lol:

 

[Roe]

Fucking hell an introduction for Michael Buffer :lol:

Povetkin/Wawrzyk up now! I'm probably gonna miss the Lebedev fight cuz I gotta go out at 8..

 

[O59]

I'm in now. Let's watch this shit. :cheers

 

[Post Box]

It makes me sad that they're building this as an actual world heavyweight title fight

 

[uraharakisuke]

great tune

 

[Roe]

Well finally both are in the ring. Probably another 10 minutes of intros and anthems before the actual boxing though.

 

[Roe]

"For the WBA heavyweight championship of the world" - and he said it without laughing!

 

[Roe]

Dull opening round. Povetkin throwing the jab a lot but that's about it.
