On SS1 from 8pm :good Undercard looks a bit 'meh'. Hope they show the Danny Price fight, wanna see how he looks as a pro. Other boxing on tonight: New boxing series in the US on NBC Sports Network (formerly called Versus). Main event was meant to be Liakhovich (sp) vs Chambers but that fell apart. Now it's Soto-Karass/Gabriel Rosado and the co-feature pits two unbeaten Philly hw's against each other. A third fight matches up two undefeated LHW's - both fighters have less than 10 fights so refreshing matchmaking. Also in Mexico...Daniel Ponce De Leon is back in action against Omar Estrella. ****-hot bantamweight prospect Leo Santa Cruz has a 10 rounder on the undercard.
Looking forward to it. What time are the Soto-Karras and Ponce De Leon fights? If they're any time over 5 then **** that. Already got fudged over last night.
The Soto-Karass show starts at 2.30am. The HW fight will be first I think and then Karass/Rosado. I think the Mexico card starts at 2am.
I dunno if the Sky are going to show an undercard fight or not :think The televised show starts in 30mins :good If there's no live undercard expect Price/McDermott in 40-45mins.
Main event have made a mistake for their first show on NBC. Hope it works out for them though. It'd be great for boxing. Chambers pulling out might be a blessing.
When the fight was announced, I said Big John was gonna give Price a real good go, and I'm sticking to that. Big John is the best boxer Price has fought, and by some margin. I really hope he puts in a great show. John is notoriously nervous before fights (I've heard that he even asks for a priest to bless him before he goes out there otherwise he won't fight). I hope he keeps calm and it should be a good relatively good HW scrap. Unfortunately my inconsiderate friend decided to be born 23 years ago today, and has insisted on going out tonight, meaning I can't watch this until the early hours. Some people aye!
