    HBO fights are usually 4:3 ... they really drop the ball on HD fights

    4:3 is cool, my TV can stretch 4:3 to 3 different sizes. But is it in true HD or upconverted?

    Thanks!

    Can you give us source information? I did not think it was going to be in HD. I just checked the HBO website and no mentioning of HD for this event.
