We will be LIVE tonight with round-by-round coverage and scoring of BOTH of the big cards on American TV. Showtime kicks us off with Froch-Taylor at 9pm (B-side: Green-De Leon Jr.) and HBO joins the party at 10pm ET with Lopez-Penalosa (B-side: Peterson-Blain).
I think there's a decent chance I'll be able to handle, in order: Green-De Leon Jr., Froch-Taylor and Lopez-Penalosa. The timing should work out -- should. Might not, but should.
Either way, someone will be around and we'll be here. Join us for what promises to be a hell of a night of boxing.
