Great fights tonight on showtime.

Robert Guerrero

^ I was disappointed to realize I forgot all about em' and missed em', which is rare for me.

Any good fights next week or the week after on Showtime or HBO?

[MAMBA24ILL]

That Guerrero was pretty good but no way does he belong in the ring with Floyd.

Didn't know Louis CK was a boxing fan

[Marc Maron]

Andre Ward vs Chad Dawson
&
Antonio DeMarco vs. John Molina

tomorrow on HBO

[Marc Maron]

^ Hope I'm wrong, but I think Broner would destroy RG.

Ward put on a clinic. The numbers differential in every category seemingly were embarrassingly one-sided.

ESPN, HBO sign programming deal

ESPN and HBO announced a boxing programming agreement Tuesday in which they will share content around major pay-per-view boxing events, starting with this week's Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.-Sergio Martinez bout.

ESPN will carry HBO's all-access 24/7 series prior to major fights, starting Thursday with back-to-back episodes of "24/7 Chavez Jr./Martinez" (9 p.m. ET, ESPN2, prior to a special edition of "Friday Night Fights" from Las Vegas). Also on Thursday, ESPN Deportes' "Golpe a Golpe" will preview the fight at 9 p.m. ET.

Chavez and Martinez fight for the world middleweight title Saturday at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas (9 p.m. ET, HBO PPV).

As part of the agreement, ESPN Deportes and ESPN3 (along with the WatchESPN app and XboxLive for Gold members) will show fighter weigh-ins, plus pre- and postfight news conferences, in addition to other fight-related content. And "SportsCenter," as well as ESPN Deportes, will have additional news and information around pay-per-view fights, including interviews with the participants.

The agreement includes shared content, cross-promotion elements, highlights and additional assets for multiple platforms on both ESPN and HBO.

^ Yeah, certainly is, but the Chavez Jr. & Canelo fights are still gonna' be on at the same exact time on a separate fee right? That's never changed?

Yeah same night.

I'm going to watch the Showtime undercard and then switch over to HBO for the main event. I'll catch the Canelo fight tomorrow.

Showtime's undercard:
WBC featherweight title: Jhonny Gonzalez vs. Daniel Ponce De Leon
Seth Mitchell vs. Johnathon Banks
Marcos Maidana vs. Jesus Soto Karass

HBO's undercard:
WBA super bantamweight title: Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. Robert Marroquin
Matthew Macklin vs. Joachim Alcine
Roman Martinez vs. Miguel Beltran Jr.

SHO undercard >>

^ Yeah, thanks for that info. I'm gonna' do the same now.

Are you gonna' try & stay away from any Canelo spoilers though until tomorrow when you watch it?

[MAMBA24ILL]

As much heart as he has, Josesito had no business being in the same ring as Canelo. He was a victim of his own success. Canelo's a freakin bull in the ring & his body shots were shifting Lopez.


On another note, I just love how positive Paul Williams remains.

Manny Pac willing to do a 45-55 financial split to fight Floyd

[MAMBA24ILL]

No wonder Chavez Jr. looked so slow, all that dam chiefin'!!

^ & no wonder he was walking around in only his calzones so often eating cereal. Stoned behavior.

[Hollywood]
