    I'd like to hear from those choosing HBO...


    Why?.......IB


    I want to see how Dawson performs after a long layoff and a loss.

    Also, if Stevenson has real, legit jaw issues.

    That is by far the most make or break fight happening this weekend.


    Although, being a huge Angulo fan, i am interested to see if he's still got it. He looked less than prepared last time out, and Im hoping it was just a fluke that he was pushed to the limit by a less than world class Jorge Silva.

    That is a legit question. I worry the answer is "rather poorly".

    That is a resounding yes. :yep

    Showtime triple-header:

    • Jermell Charlo vs. Demetrius Hopkins, 12 rounds @ light middleweight
    • Erislandy Lara vs. Alfredo Angulo, 12 rounds @ light middleweight
    • Marcos Rene Maidana vs. Jose Manuel Lopez, 12 rounds @ welterweight

    (some nice undercard bouts are not part of the official broadcast yet might be shown on Showtime Extreme in the lead-up. They include Yoshihiro Kamegai vs. Johan Perez, 10 rounds @ welterweight and Ronny Rios vs. Leo Miranda, 10 rounds @ super featherweight...also US Olympian non-medalist Joseph Diaz Jr. looks to improve to 5-0...)


    HBO doubleheader:

    • Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Darley Perez, 12 rounds @ super featherweight
    • Chad Dawson vs. Adonis Stevenson, 12 rounds @ light heavyweight
    (like Showtime, they are leaving out some juicy scraps as non-televised despite there being plenty of room on their plate. I see no reason why they couldn't make it a triple-header of their own to compete with Showtime's and include Eleider Alvarez vs. Allan Green, 10 rounds @ light heavyweight... :conf
    With the winner of Marcos Rene Maidana vs. Jose Manuel Lopez being long shot Mayweather oppoents down the line. This is the fight I will pay the most attition to. I'm intrested in Chad Dawson vs. Adonis Stevenson as well. I'd like to see what Dawson still has.
    Hopefully the main events have stagred starting times of say 45 minuets.

    By the way, Gamboa vs Perez it's a lightweight fight, not a super fw.

    Showtime for sure...






    ...but I live on the American West Coast. Therefore, I get to watch HBO live then wait until 11:30 PM local for the Showtime fights to start. It's amazingly frustrating.
