By Jake Donovan - It's the first Saturday of the month this weekend, which is supposed to mean one thing - world class boxing on SHOWTIME. Everyone received the memo long ago; everyone except HBO, that is.
For the fourth time in five months, the two cable giants go head-to-head with separate boxing telecasts this weekend. HBO offers a two-play, with their one-fight telecast of Wladimir Klitschko-Lamon Brewster II airing live from Germany (Saturday, 5PM ET/2PM PT) before replaying later in the evening (10:30PM ET/PT).
On this side of the Atlantic, SHOWTIME presents two bouts featuring four fighters with a combined winning percentage of just under 99%, taking place in Bridgeport, CT (Saturday 9PM ET/PT). The headlining act features undefeated junior middleweights Travis Simms (25-0, 19KO) and Joachim Alcine (28-0, 18KO) throwing down mere miles from Simms' hometown of Norwalk, CT. The co-feature is a potential puncher vs. boxer classic as knockout artist Vic Darchinyan (28-0, 22KO) takes in his second Donaire in less than a year when he faces silky smooth Nonito Donaire (17-1, 10KO).
