Big night! Two of these fights are tough to pick and should have some good action. The "main event" in the BLH universe (fight that comes last, which is Pavlik-Lockett) at least has a must-see fighter in Pavlik.
The schedule:
9:00 ET, Showtime: Quintana-Williams II
10:05 ET, HBO: Ponce de Leon-Lopez and Pavlik-Lockett
We will not be covering the Showtime main event of Forrest-Mora live. We'll go from the Showtime opener over to the HBO card at 10:05. Join us for a tripleheader of championship boxing!
