    Not sure what HBO are showing but they start their broadcast at 2:45 our time. There isn't much on the undercard but they may be showing:

    Seth Mitchell v Timur Ibragimov
    Anthony Peterson v Daniel Attah

    Then:

    Amir Khan v Lamont Peterson

    I'd guess any time after 3:30 but won't be any earlier than 3am at best.

    There's quite a few fights on ESPN2 in the US's schedule for January and February - including a Despaigne-Miranda rematch (first one was good fun.) Presumably they'll be shown on ESPN UK .

    Well the main event will *probably* go the distance, which should see us through till half 11. Few ads, bit of the undercard and chit chat should see us through till 12. Last half hour could be a chore, mind.:roll:

    Standard HBO procedure should see a Cotto v Margarito repeat to open the broadcast, then Mitchell v Ibragimov then Khan v Peterson. It'll be hard to judge an exact time until we see how long tomorrows fight lasts, but if both those fights go the distance it'll be about 4.30.

    Shouldn't be any later a start time than that, but could be half 3 if things go well.
