Showtime needed this fight badly. They're setup to have an awful year. What fighters fight on showtime? What fights do they have scheduled for this year. I can't think of any marquee fights on the horizon for Showtime.

HBO to Showtime

This is going to be a WAR gentleman. The winner will undoubtedly be catapulted to greater opportunities. They both know this and they both know the price that has to be paid that night in the ring to attain them.

This fight has tennis ball swollen eyes written all over it.
