My problem with Espn 2 boxing

My pet peeve is that they never stay on time within the perimeters of the time allotted. Its a 2 hour show thats always 20 mins over. Is this happened once in a while its ok but it happens everytime. You CAN'T start a 12 round fight with 35-40 mins left in the show. A 12 round fight will usually take 1 hour to complete. Don't get me wrong. They have the best boxing coverage and I really like the format of the FNF show and Teddy is great. Just wish if I set aside 2 hours every WED/FRI they could stay on time sometimes cause sometimes all I have is 2 hours to give to watching the show or I have to record some of the show and watch it when I have more time.

That is understandable. But live events always have this problem. You should have recorded the boxing even as well as the program afterwards just incase. I know it might be a hassle having to jump from one program to another just to catch the later part of a fight, but hey... At least you get to see it all.
