May 5, 200719 yr Author what time does the fight start? HBO website says 9 PM EST. Well thats for the start of the ppv right? Isnt there like one or two fights first? Yeah, their's first Rey Bautista, a really young exciting filipino prospect vs another undefeated prospect. Than following that their's Rocky Juarez(Gave Marco Antonio Barrerra a hell of a fight, in their first meeting) Vs Jose Hernandez, who just upset a hyped prospect from Minnesota named Jason Litzau. So the actual DLH fight will probably start anywhere from 10:45 to 11:30
May 5, 200719 yr hooray for a couple of midgets duking it out. Umm Floyd is 5'8" and Oscar 5'10":thumbup hooray for a couple of midgets duking it out. Hurray for an ignorant peon trying to wax philosophical.
May 5, 200719 yr Author Anyone know any good places to go watch the fight preferably in Broward ? Well I'm having friends come over here which I guess doesn't help but I guess any major sports bar or Off Track Betting location. Granted this is hurrendously steretyping but a couple of Mexican bars around here are having the fight as part of their cinco de mayo celebrations, so I assume their will be a few in Broward.
May 5, 200719 yr I once tried to watch a fight in college--I forget who, probably Roy Jones Jr's first heavyweight fight--and not a single public establishment had the fight because they had to pay a massive fee to be able to show it publicly. I'm sure somewhere around here has it, but it's not going to be in a bunch of sports bars. And they'll almost surely be charging admission.

Yea the fee for sports bars to show fights like this are enormous. My cousin has a restaurant/bar in Napa Valley, and he once broadcasted a boxing match like this, I forget which one but he didn't pay the full fee and was levied a huge fine against him. I'm sure Tootsies in North Miami Beach is showing the fight though. :thumbup
May 5, 200719 yr Author Eh, for major fights like this though most big sports bars will do it. Your best bet though is an off track betting site. They're going to be huge bank today on the Kentucky Derby. So if they can keep them in the place for the fight, they'll make even more money with people betting in between the race and the fight. They did the same thing in 01 when the Derby and Lewis/Tyson was on the same night

They did the same thing in 01 when the Derby and Lewis/Tyson was on the same night Maybe the laws are different in Pa. but I guarantee the big sports bars here in South Florida like Ale House,Quarterdeck,Conines, etc... will not be showing the fight. Maybe I'm wrong, but I seriously doubt it. The off track betting site is a good idea though.

May 6, 200719 yr http://livefooty.doctor-serv.com/sat5.5/Ma...er_Delahoy.html I can't vouch for this, but it looks like you may be able to watch the fight online.
May 6, 200719 yr It works, by the way...in case you were wondering...no telling how many viruses and trojan horses I put on my computer to get this, but what the hell...
May 6, 200719 yr the quality is way better than i expected. i'm watching it in full-screen. oh, and the program is on a few reputable download sites, so i wouldn't be too concerned about viruses. thanks, btw, mabs
May 6, 200719 yr Round 2 has to go to Oscar. He looked good. 10-9 Oscar. Oscar looked strong in round 3. I'd give him that round too. 10-9 Oscar
May 6, 200719 yr Looked like Oscar wore down a little at the end of the 4th. Oscar looked good in round 5 though! Man I don't know how this fight is going to go...Floyd is silky smooth but Oscar just looks and seems a lot bigger and stronger. He is doing a great job attacking the body. Oh man. Oscar is kicking ass so far in the 7th round!
May 6, 200719 yr Yeah, 7 goes to Oscar. I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, but the announcers seem to have it 4-3 Oscar. I'm not getting the HBO guys, though.
May 6, 200719 yr Floyd better come strong these next 4 rounds...I see no way any scorecard could have him winning. This is going to be a great finish though. Yeah, 7 goes to Oscar. I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, but the announcers seem to have it 4-3 Oscar. I'm not getting the HBO guys, though. I cant listen to the announcers. Horrible. I cant watch Boxing at all with any announcers, they just annoy me for some reason.
May 6, 200719 yr Floyd looked smooth in round 8, but i still dont think he is hurting Oscar. Gotta give it to Oscar again. Oscar is ahead for sure, but I think Floyd is going to come really strong these last 3 rounds.
