    If Willie sings "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," I gotta go with HBO.

    Otherwise, Showtime.

    I really don't expect Judah-Malignaggi, Alexander-Porter, and Lara-Trout to be the best clash of styles. While Kirkland-Tapia is surely to produce fireworks and I think Agbeko has a style that probably will gel with Rigondeaux's.

    So what I plan to do is tune into Bika-Direll first on my television and then switch over to the HBO card. But all the while, I'll have the opposing card going on my phone or laptop.

    And just a heads up for people who subscribe to Showtime, since later summer, Showtime allows you to view a live stream on their web site and mobile apps. This will come in really handy on a night like this when cards are airing simultaneously.

    Damn too difficult to choose one. I'll watch some fights from SHO and some from HBO, I mostly want to see these:

    Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Joseph Agbebo
    Austin Trout vs. Erislandy Lara
    Sakio Bika vs. Anthony Dirrell

    Showtime wins this one by a mile. I'll watch the replay of the HBO card the next morning.

    Showtime has the better card, most will just tune in for the HBO main event.

    Showtime for me - I'll try and catch as much of the hbo main event as I can as its a good matchup but overall shotime wins this for me - especially interested in trout - lara and bika - direll
