    I will watch the Showtime card first, and then I will watch the HBO tripleheader which will be recording while I watch Showtime.

    Both.... though if i had to choose, it would be Bradley vs Peterson.

    Two undefeated top players.... im really interested in that fight.

    Not that im not interested in malignaggi vs diaz, but its a rematch of a fight ive seen, im pretty sure the fight will be somewhat like the first given they match up pretty even, and its a 140lber fighting a guy at 135, and neather is going to make an impact on the others division regardless.

    That being said, im watching both

    Only the true boxing purists would tune into SHowtime..

    HBO card is weak.. Undercard is a mismatch and the main event is plain boring..

    I have to agree with this. I will be watching shotime but, the shotime broadcast team is awsome and i do truly enjoy them.

    I probably won't get to see either of them that night (note to self: avoid this site until Monday lol!), but if I do get to see one, it'll be Showtime. More appealing card to me.

    I think the broadcast teams offset each other. As annoying as Kellerman can be, Gus Johnson is way more annoying. Tarver has better analysis, but Lennox makes me laugh more, especially hearing him mess up peoples names. Bernstein is the man tho.

    HBO.

    The Italian stallion (lol) should have won the first fight. So it will be interesting to see how both fighters react.

    Excited to see if Victor Ortiz has improved any since his defeat to a tough Maidana. The guy he is fighting is tough.

    Darchinyan-Rojas is a sleeper. I think Rojas has an excellent chance of winning and putting up a great fight. Bradley-Peterson will be somewhat dull. It's a solid card still.

    Klitschko-Johnson sounds good, could be interesting whereas Diaz-Malignaggi is guaranteed excitement, they both have to make a statement and it became a bit personal. Ortiz-Diaz is nothing special but I'm looking for Victor's return. Also a solid card.
