    Right, like I said there are exceptions such as Arreola-Walker/Phillips-Williams that start at 10pm, but the difference is that was listed as a double-header. In this instance there isn't even mention of John-Juarez, which leads me to believe it might be dark. :conf

    Don't forget that California is two time zones over from Houston.

    :huh That should't really affect anything; HBO lists all its times EST first and foremost. If it starts at 10 EST it would seem less likely that it's a co-feature, since that leave about enough time for some pre-fight and post-fight discussion along with one bout before it gets to be about midnight...they typically defer to East Coast audiences and even with PPVs they tend not to start bouts much later than midnight. Squeezing in a pair of twelve-rounders at the 10 spot can be done - as in Williams-Phillips/Arreola-Walker - but it leaves almost no time for discussion/pageantry lest they mess with their regular programming schedule ...and they were probably banking on Arreola-Walker ending early one way or the other. :yep
