The deep undercard (highlighted by Curtis Woodhouse and Rendall Munroe in 6-rounders) will be aired on something called "The Red Button" for UK subscribers of Sky.

The main card is on Sky Sports 2 from 4pm EST/8pm GMT and is a 3.5 hour broadcast featuring the Commonwealth heavyweight title final eliminator as well as vacant IBF International lightweight title and vacant Commonwealth featherweight title contests, with the nominal main event being Luke Campbell's third pro outing.

 

Approximate running order, per the website of Matchroom (event promoter):

6pm - LIVE on the red button:
Rendall Munroe v Pavel Senkovs
6 x 3 mins Featherweight Contest
Followed by:
Kieran Harding v Mark Till
4 x 3 mins Super-Middleweight Contest
Followed by:
Zak Collins v Matt Seawright
4 x 3 mins Light-Welterweight Contest
Followed by:
Curtis Woodhouse v Lewis Van Poetsch
6 x 3 mins Light-Welterweight Contest

8pm - LIVE on Sky Sports 2 HD:
Samir Mouneimne v Josh Warrington
12 x 3 mins Vacant Commonwealth Featherweight Championship
Followed by:
Richard Towers v Lucas Browne

Followed by:
Tommy Coyle v John Simpson
12 x 3 mins Vacant IBF Inter-Continental Lighweight Championship
Followed by:
Luke Campbell v Lee Connelly
6 x 3 mins Lightweight Contest

So Browne vs. Towers ought to be around 5pm EST/9pm GMT for anyone who like me only really cares about that. :good

 

This is what, like, Nadal vs. Federer LXIII or something?

Too much of a good thing...

There is much to be said for brevity in rivalries. (which is why Pacquiao vs. Marquez V can **** off, fairytale ending, that one's over and done with)

Imagine we had seen Barrera vs. Morales or Gatti vs. Ward drag on to where it got boring or grotesque? We unfortunately did with Vazquez vs. Marquez (which I like to preserve in memory as just a trilogy)

 

O rly? :blood

:conf

I am not a Brit, so I know F all of the red button stuff.


I'm not really concerned with the deep undercard anyhow. I mean, I'm fond of both Woodhouse and Munroe and wish them all the best in their comebacks, but going out of my way to catch their 6-round showcases doesn't seem the best use of my afternoon. :yep

Of the other two bouts, the only person I've ever heard of is semi-legendary professional loser Matt Seawright, who is being fed to some 7-0-1 kid.

 

:admin OMG OMG OMG.

Please tell me you've at least seen Segura vs. Calderon I & II...and Marquez vs. Concepcion I & II...and Viloria vs. Segura, and Viloria vs. Marquez...anything?

You poor thing. I feel like you're a starved little bird I've found on the roadside and need to cradle in my elbow and hand-feed grubs...

The only thing I would say to definitely avoid is Marquez vs. Mepranum I. He fought like a mong that night and paid for it, needlessly copping a loss to an inferior man. Literally the rest of his career - and Segura's - you'll find riddled with phenomenal action underscored by some insane power as flyweights go.

 

No. Yesterday was a terribly day. (it started with the miscue on the Germand card and got worse later with the Colombian one...so much worse... :-()

Look above. The running order is there.

(I miss the "heed the IB" emoticon...)
