This Saturday night, Showtime goes live with a Welterweight main event featuring undefeated Selcuk Aydin and former Featherweight and Jr. Lightweight titlist Robert Guerrero. It’s a good match that could turn into a great fight.

Counter-programming in boxing between the two biggest boxing banks is nothing new. It happens often enough to remain a subject of interest. It’s been seldom enough to be overlooked between spots.
