Pretty much confirms we get Ortiz v Campbell as well then, which is great:happy

 

Great news, loving the Sunday morning repeat, that will catch a few casual sports fans while they're eating their breakfast etc.

 

good news for boxing...........but id MUCH rather have vazquez-marquez 4 on itv!

 

why

theve both ruined each other , it will be two shot to **** fighters throwing leather

 

in a fight a million times better than khan-malignggi will be:deal

 

exiting maybe but boxing it isnt they need to give up the pair of them to much balls for there own good

 

their both still highly skilled,i kind of agree though,their too brave but id rather them fight each other for decent money than just became a scalp on a lesser fighters resume

 

so is it 2.45am start with them showing Ortiz vs Campbell and then Khan vs Malignaggi. I hope so. They can show good undercard fights afterwards.

Then again, what the **** are they showing at 2 in the morning. They can put some fights on.

 

The HBO cards usually start at 2:30am our time, so hopefully the Ortiz fight is included.

 

Its the 15th Taco.....Friday night/Sat morning. Enjoy the fight buddy.

 

It will be Sat 15th May in America, it will be Sunday morning 2:30am here, so the 16th.

 

Yeah because Froch or Haye are much less interesting than King Con... :nut
