Unless one of your favorites is fighting on HBO (like me, Lopez is the reason I'm tuning into HBO), you all should really be watching Froch vs. Taylor... it is by far the most significant fight for the sport this weekend IMO.
The Green fight is actually fairly significant too, because this is a decent opponent, and he is trying to fight his way up to a title shot... Lopez SHOULD win his fight against an older opponent, and Peterson is damn near guaranteed a title shot, because he is so highly touted as a prospect.
Basically, Showtime has some suspense and significance, HBO is just a couple of almost predetermined fights.
my loyalty is to boxing. not a network. i have a DVR but i would HBO one first cause like someone said Showtime repeats the crap out their fights the same night. can catch three different replays off em an hour apart a piece.
I have both so I always just go by time and replay. Showtime usualy shows there replays that same night so I usualy watch HBO Live and then watch the Showtime replay soon after
HBO, if Juanma pulls another first round KO it's easy to switch and still get to see most of the other fight.
...i am ok with either I will let my friends do the arguing
I have not seen juanma fight yet so I will probably catch that fight live. It just so happens that I have both channels and a DVR to record them both so I will watch HBO live and then watch the Showtime airing right after!!! While drunk and high as a kite!!:439::beerchug::alcoholic
If you have 15 minutes free, you can actually catch his last three fights if you look on youtube...
He definitely makes sure they don't last very long.

Tough call. I think the Taylor fight means more in terms of the division's make up and overall importance.
That said, I'm more interested by the prospect of the young careers of Juan-Ma and Peterson quite a bit.
So, do I go for the more important fight or the more interesting fighters?
I'd say, all in all, I'll put HBO as my top prospect and getting a stream of Showtime's a close second.
