It all kicks off from next weekend, with November probably the most packed boxing month of the year :bbb Saturday.... From 3am on Showtime: Allan Green vs Glen Johnson Juan Manuel Lopez vs Rafael Marquez From 4.15am on HBO: Vicente Escobedo vs Robert Guerrero Zab Judah vs Lucas Matthysse It's got to be the Showtime card, don't see why anyone would go for the HBO card unless they're a massive Judah fan or something. There's a chance we could watch both main events as Showtime start earlier and Guerrero-Escobedo looks like a distance fight.
I'm a little worried about Johnson coming down to 168 - a weight he was less than impressive at in the first place. But Green's so weak, I expect it'll be a good fight. Lopez-Marquez is the pure-bred one of those fights. My girlfriend's going to be here, so I'll need to appease her for staying up to watch it.
1. JuanMa vs Marquez 2. Judah vs Matthysse 3. Johnson vs Green 4. Guerrero vs Escobedo That's the order in what fights I would most like to see. JuanMa vs Marquez is by far and away the fight of the weekend (possibly even FOTY) though.
and you're right to feel worried. at the age that glen johnson is a drop down in weight is the last thing you want to do. i wouldn't be surprised if glen looks awful in this fight even against a calibre of allan green.
I'll watch the Showtime card, then try to catch the Judah fight if they don't overlap and I'm not dead at that point. I think JuanMa vs Rafa will be a short fight whoever wins.
I'm going to watch west ham away to Birmingham next Saturday which means I'll start drinking about 9 in the morning. This puts me in a bad situation, either don't get completely bladdered with me m8s all day and watch JuanMa/Rafa, or have a good jolly up, get bck about 9, go sleep for 4 hours get up and watch the boxing and SERIOUSLY **** off the missus. Any1 know if the showtime card is on UK tele?
