He's not fighting Salido, he's fighting some no hoper.

He's fighting though......

[Mammoth]

Me too. Especially want to see Farmer fight, always liked his style and his opponent Ogawa is not bad also.

I'm pulling for old googly eyes to get a belt....

If you are a boxing fan just DVR and watch both. This isn't new and Arum crying about it is laughable he's put on cards numerous times on the same date and time as other networks and rival promoters. When he was on HBO he put on cards when Showtime already had the date hell he's aired cards head to head against PPVs from rival promoters. But now that he had the date first and HBO is putting on a card he's crying? Stop being a hypocrite Arum you have done the same to PBC, to Showtime to other promoters who had PPVs ect. The truth is these promoters have only so many available dates the network will give them.

The no hoper might pull it out. It's one of the Smith brothers and if he makes it rough, he might bust Vargas up. A TKO on cuts, Vargas will lose points as he bleeds, it looks bad. He'll be down on points, so "accidental" headbutts won't matter.

Vargas isn't fighting tomorrow!

The night opens with Francisco Vargas (23-1-2, 17 KOs) from Mexico City, Mexico taking on Stephen Smith (25-3, 15 KOs) of Liverpool, UK in a 10-round contest.

My question is, will it even start on time on ESPN and are we going to have to be looking for the fight on the other ESPN channels? I missed the last Top Rank card on ESPN because the guide said boxing was on but in reality they were showing a football game.

Next time check all your ESPN’s

I'll be switching back and forth until the main event on ESPN. Also, DVR just in case I miss something.
