The show should start live at 4pm ET in the States, and there are no promises with a thing like this, but we're going to do our very best to bring you live, round-by-round coverage and scoring of Andriy Kotelnik's 140-pound title defense against Amir Khan from M.E.N. Arena in Manchester.
Note: Yes, I and others here in the States will be watching this via an online stream. This fight is being presented by Sky Box Office in the UK, and under no circumstances do we condone our UK readers streaming this fight illegally. For those of us in the States, it's our only option. But we paid for March Badness, damn it, so you pay for Kotelnik-Khan. (Which is actually a far better fight than anything on March Badness, I'm just saying...)
