    Seems like a good card...

    Wiiter Vs Alexander
    Bradley Vs Campbell
    Romanov vs Angula

    I'm guessing no UK broadcaster is picking this up - anyone know who's showing it in the US? hopefully ****** will be able to pick up coverage :think

    This is on ESPN so there will be a good chance that the new ESPN channel in the UK will show it delayed..... actually channel 5 show all ESPN fight nights a few days later... so Channel 5 it is.

    i thought channel 5 only picked up FNFs, or have they picked up other shows as well in the past? good news if they do pick it up.

    They've always picked up ESPN fights.... they just show delayed coverage a few days later.

    It's on Showtime in the States. The Romanov won't be shown though.

    Looking forward to this card. Joan Guzman's younger brother Jose is on it as well i think. I doubt he will even have a shade of the talent Joan has

    Romanov not being shown, hope hes popular in Europe somewhere and it is shown.

    Not confident in getting TV coverage for this at all, will be a big shame as I think they will be 2 good fights.

    Hope Witter pulls it off

    Eurosport have had some showtime cards the last few months, but they've been a few weeks/months delayed. They showed Froch Taylor and Ronald Hearns last fight recently (both Showtime), but like I say it'll be atleast a few weeks after theyre on.

    I'm hoping Sky might pick it up to show on a delay, theyre apparently increasing theyre boing output so this would make sense. Another British fighter fighting for a world title not even show live in the U.K, farce.

    Its not on ESPN in the states its a showtime card. I don't think the new ESPN will have launched by then.

    Hope somebody picks it up. Eurosport done the Urango fight live so maybe they could pick this up. I'll be staying up for it anyway. From what i have read about Alexander he might have a good style for witter.
