    Will they show the UC or the Zavck beatdown before the Adamek beatdown tomorrow night on HBO?

    I hope it's the UC since I've already seen Zavecks brutal beatdown. I really wanna see Olafabi and Banks in action, and in HD.

    They're just showing Adamek-Klitschko live and then that evening they are replaying that before the Gamboa-Ponce De Leon.

    So no UC or replay. What a bummer. Whatever happened to the good old days when we'd see the whole card before the mainevent?

    :huh

    WCB normally broadcasts at night (American time). They are showing two bouts on Saturday night: Klitschko-Adamek on tape delay, and then Gamboa vs. Ponce De Leon live. It isn't quite the ripoff that one-and-done broadcasts are.

    That's how it has always worked when they show a tape-delayed European bout as a co-feature with a live one in the Western hemisphere. At least now we're lucky enough that they also do a live broadcast of the European bout in the afternoon. They used to not.

    No, there isn't undercard with it - but they've hardly ever shown undercard for a European bout they were covering in the middle of the day. (can't think of one instance where they did)

    Then for Gamboa-PDL, the replay is instead of the UC for those who missed it during the day. It wouldn't really make sense for them to show live undercard instead...although it would be cool to see Oyewale Omotoso in action.
