Be curious though to see just what the future holds for them? As for KOTV on Channel 4 you mentioned well I've been recording that on the series link for well over a year now so I don't have to stay up till the early hours. Shame when commentator/voice over Nick Halling left the show but must admit the other bloke who's taken his place is doing a fine job. Don't know if you caught the half hour show of the best KO's of 2011 the other night on ESPN but that was well worth a look. Now just one last thing is when you mentioned Tyson Fury being on channel 5 for the next few months - I'll go for 1 or 2 months at the most then channel 5 will have to find something else to put on because (only my opinion) "and I hope I'm wrong" he's just waiting to be KO'd!
Just one more thing and it's about channel 4's KOTV programme they showed a couple of day's ago. There was a short tribute to Smokin Joe Frazier. He didn't actually say it on the programme but he was renowned for saying that
Boxing was the only sport where -
Ya brains got shook
Ya money got took
And ya name ended up in the Undertakers book
RIP - Smokin Jo Frazier

I must admit KOTV is not exactly an excellent programme but it does deliver action and news for boxing fans who only have terrestrial TV. I did catch the best KO's of 2011 on ESPN last week. The KO at the end of the show from 2007 was epic! As for Tyson Fury on Channel 5 I totally agree that a KO is coming his way real soon. Don't be surprised to see Mick Hennessey either trying to land more talent or trying to quickly push Kid Galahad and Chris Eubank Jr. to chief support and main event status.
There is live action tonight on Eurosport. It's small hall action from England from 8pm I think. Worth a watch, could be interesting.
