    HBO
    Juan Diaz vs Paulie Mallinaggi II
    Victor Ortiz vs Antonio Diaz

    SHOWTIME
    Timothy Bradley vs Lamont Peterson
    Vic Darchinyan vs Tomas Rojas

    Personally...I will be watching Showtime, simply because the broadcast team of Gus Johnson, Al Bernstein and Antonio Tarver is "SECOND 2 NONE!!'

    If I have to listen to Max Kellerman one more time...I am going kill someone!!!

    And besides...Bradley vs Peterson has more FIRE-POWER.

    Diaz vs Malinaggi is more like a PILLOW-FIGHT!!!

    I will watch both. My tv will play the vic fight, while my computer plays the ortiz fight. My tv will show the diaz vs paulie fight, while my computer plays the bradley fight.

    But I will enjoy the HBO broadcast because their announcers are second 2 none. If I hear milk dud talking one more time, Im going to kill someone!!!

    Is anybody really excited about watching Juan & Paulie slap each other for 12 rounds again?

    The Showtime card starts at 9 PM EST and the HBO telecast doesn't start until 10:15. So the Showtime card will likely be half over before the HBO broadcast even starts, which means there shouldn't be too much of an overlap. Though for the time the cards are running simultaneously I'll have Showtime on the television and HBO on the laptop through my boy's Slingbox.


    Would be nice if HBO started their broadcast off with the replay of Klitschko-Johnson, since I'll be viewing that live Saturday afternoon. Though I'm guessing they'll air the rebroadcast after the live card like they did with Katsidis-Casamayor/Anrade-Stieglitz/Pacquiao-Marquez II.

    Only one of the fights I give a **** about is Ortiz vs Diaz to see if Ortiz bounces back.

    I saw Paulie v Diaz once, I have no want to see that piece of **** of a fight again.

    I might watch HBO first and then Showtime at midnight or vice verse. These 2 months have been good for boxing.(Martinez-Williams, Pac-Cotto, Bute-Andrade 2, Ward-Kessler, this weekend)
