    IN BOLD will be the fight that I'd chose to watch
    September 8:

    HBO (Dan Goossen/Gary Shaw)
    ..Chad Dawson vs. Andre Ward
    ..Antonio DeMarco vs. John Molina

    Showtime (Golden Boy Promotions)
    ..Randall Bailey vs. Devon Alexander
    ..Lucas Matthysse vs. Ajose Olusegun

    Chad Dawson vs. Andre Ward (HBO) is the most important match up of the night. It's souported by Antonio DeMarco vs. John Molina, which I think is going to be a very good fight.
    Randall Bailey vs. Devon Alexander (SHO) is my pick for the fight most likely to end dramamitic fashion. It's spourt fight Lucas Matthysse vs. Ajose Olusegun is not as interesting as Antonio DeMarco vs. John Molina.
    HBO 1 SHO 0/ GSP1
    September 15:

    HBO (Top Rank)
    ..Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Sergio Martinez
    ..Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. Robert Marroquin
    ..Matthew Macklin vs. Joachim Alcine

    Showtime (Golden Boy)
    ..Saul Alvarez vs. Josesito Lopez
    ..Marcos Maidana vs. Jesus Soto Karass
    ..Johnny Gonzales vs. Daniel Ponce de Leon


    The nights best and biggest fight is of course Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Sergio Martinez (HBO). If .Guillermo Rigondeaux was fighting someone better and more none than Robert Marroquin. HBO would probbly easily take this date in my opinion.
    If Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Sergio Martinez and Saul Alvarez vs. Josesito Lopez (SHO) are on the air at the same time. A lot of us are going to miss an interesting bout Saul Alvarez is on the verge of being a boxing star and Josesito Lopez is one of the sports best over achivers. Both Marcos Maidana vs. Jesus Soto Karass & Johnny Gonzales vs. Daniel Ponce de Leon (SHO) are more intresting match ups than Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. Robert Marroquin & Matthew Macklin vs. Joachim Alcine.
    This one is close but Showtime is the winner.
    SHO 1 HBO 1 GBP 1
    October 13:

    HBO (Top Rank)
    ..Nonito Donaire vs. Toshiaki Nishioka
    ..Brandon Rios vs. Mike Alvarado

    Showtime (Golden Boy)
    ..Abner vs. Anselmo Moreno
    ..Richard Abril vs. Sharif Bogere

    After Abner Mares vs. Anselmo Moreno (SHO) people are going to start serously talking about the winner fighting and posibily beating Nonito Donaire & Guillermo Rigondeaux. The winner of Richard Abril vs. Sharif Bogere is likely to get a lightweight championship shot.

    I can't imangian HBO and Top Rank not wanting to make Nonito Donaire/Guillermo Rigondeaux, but they got them fighting lesser oppoents. I think that Brandon Rios vs. Mike Alvarado is going to steel the show on the HBO card.
    I like Showtime.

    Final tallies: SHO 2, HBO 1 GBP 2 GSP 1 TR 0.

    Looks like at least for now Showtime pulled a major coup getting GBP to have its fights on their air.
