Actually it just might be in terms of potential. Obviously we'll see how the fights play out in terms of entertainment but i'm certainly looking forward to watching tonights fights more then any other card this year.
Jarret Hurd vs Erislandy Lara - WBA/IBF Unification. Number 1 vs Number 3. Not a fan of Lara but i know Hurd will bring it and make it a an entertaining fight to watch, maybe similar to Lara vs Angulo? Either way, its a very intriguing fight.
Caleb Truax vs James Degale Rematch - IBF Title.
First fight was entertaining because of Truax bringing it every round. Degale needs to win the Rematch or its pretty much over for him. Both guys will really bring it tonight and it be even better then their first encounter.
Julian Williams vs Nathaniel Gallimore -154lbs Eliminator.
So much riding on this fight for both guys, whoever wins will almost certainly get a World Title Shot and for Williams, he's still got a chance of doing something at 154lbs but i'm sure Gallimore has his own ideas about that too.
Sergio Mora vs Alfredo Angulo - 154 lb Cross Roads.
Both guys were once shining lights of this division but both have fallen to the point that whoever loses this fight will have no clear road back. This could end up as the Fight of the Night as its perhaps the last chance for either guy to get back into Championship contention.
What do you guys think of Tonights Card?
Haha, he's in the best shape of his life but his punches are way too wide sometimes. I got JRock taking that one but you never know. This is the Gallimore show, lol.
I can’t wait. Almost as excited for it as I am the main event.
I think the card will be filled with entertainment......lara hurd will start off slow but heat up. Only because hurd is like a bugger margarito. Degale may try to stink up his fight by playing it safe but still should be fun. Willams might get stopped. The other guy is massively hungry and drooling at the mouth. Like an unchained wild pitbull. Thats gonna be a good one. Bixing fans should enjoy this one for sure.........
Not sure if it’s the best or not but it’s a really nice card for us hardcore fans. Casuals probably don’t know any of these 6 guys so the card didn’t get too much hype.
All 3 fights could honestly go either way. How often can we say that about the cards we get nowadays?
I’m pumped for it at least :boxing:
Agreed. Thats why i love this card.
As you say, all three have the potential to go either way.
Lots of questions will be answered.
Can Hurd get inside of Lara where he can do the most damage...will size play an advantage?
Can Degale rebound or will Truax finish him off for good?
Can Williams get back on track or will he crumble to a big puncher again?
I wish the Mora fight was televised too to make it an ultimate quadrupleheader!!
Yeah, even if it’s prelims on showime extreme.
Angulo is totally shot, but should be an interesting fight

Very solid card all around. I don't think Lara-Hurd will be boring at all, it's gonna be an interesting style clash unless Hurd really sucks and gets schooled and doesn't go for broke.
Is the Julian Williams fight being shown in showtime?
I thought they were only broadcasting the co-mains...
Its a Showtime Triple Header at 10pm ET so starts with the Williams Fight.
Unfortunately they won't be showing the Angulo-Mora fight but it might be on one of the international streams?

when I checked the website this morning it was advertising 3 fights, so I'm pretty sure...
