So what are you stopping up stupidly late to watch tonight?

    After Vitali v Johnson tonight, which plans to be a potential FOTY candidate (at least in dave darts' mind) there's some big US cards tonight-which, if any will you be stopping up for?

    Darchinyan v Rojas and Bradley v Peterson-Showtime-2am-4.30am

    Ortiz v Antonio Diaz and Juan Diaz v Malignaggi-HBO-3.15am-6am

    I'd probably rather watch the HBO card, but that looks like a very late finish. Plus they are showing a re-run of Vitali v Johnson, which, if they show first will really drag the night out. Plus thr showtime card has a nice east coast start time.

    However, this will be the fourth time in 5 weeks I've stayed up till a ridiculous time to watch boxing (Pacquaio v Cotto, Kessler v Ward, and Williams v Martinez so far) so this christmas break is much appreciated:D

    But what are you folks doing?

    If any of them, probably Bradley v Peterson looks good ... although I'm intrigued by the Diaz Malignaggi rematch due to the last fights controversial scoring.

    I'm really torn. I'll probably plump for the HBO card, but might change my mind.

    I was hanging at work all of last week after deciding to stay up on Sunday morn so I have promised myself I won't be watching any...






























    ... I will most probably give in again and watch the Showtime card, though:lol::good.

    I'm intrigued to see Ortiz v Diaz. Wanna see how Ortiz comes back after the Maidana fight. Diaz has got some good experience being in with the likes of Spinks, Augustus, Margarito, Mosley. A veteran now but a good opponent for a comeback. And he's on a seven fight win streak, albeit the standard of opponent ain't great he'll still be confident.

    The Diaz vs Paulie fight looks very interesting but I will be staying in bed this weekend.

    In saying that though...Ortiz-Diaz could be a FOTY contender. I think it will be a war.

    I don't know if I can be bothered... but it'd probably be Bradley-Peterson if anything. Both solid, exciting fighters with good skills who come to fight.

    Juan Diaz is a cracking fighter to watch, but i thought he beat Paulie relatively clearly the first time, close as it was. The only controversial part of the fight was Gale Van Hoy's score - otherwise the right man won it. I see Diaz winning more convincingly this time, but it'll still be close. Diaz gets it 8-4 or similar, with Paulie's best rounds coming in the middle of the fight.

    I think i'll be up for the Diaz v Malignaggi fight. The last fight was excellent.
