Setanta packing a punch

They may be Sky's poorer cousins, but Setanta are getting one thing on the button - their boxing coverage.

The Calzaghe v Hopkins fight was another sign that Setanta are starting to turn the corner after some shaky sporting shows.

Good, concise build-up with relevant, informative pundits will always win the day ahead of building a fight up into something it's not as Rupert Murdoch's boys often do with every fight, be it a world title unification bout at Madison Square Garden or two glorified pub brawlers slugging it out at Dudley Town Hall.
