Chris Arreola vs. Bermane Stiverne

We get to see Murray go into the Lion's Den here in the UK but I don't think anyone is televising Arreole v Stiverne whic is a pity. I have put money on Murray doing the unthinkable and beating Martinez in a hostile environment by simply employing sustained pressure and an educated defence to wear Sergio down. Murray will probably come into the ring bigger and stronger and if he uses his youth, he has a chance.

You can always use an alternative means. I have a few should you need one.

I will watch the Khan and Harrison Card then record Murray-Martinez and watch that fight tomorrow. I shall probably try and catch the Garcia, Quillin and Arreola fights tomorrow or in the week because it's just too much else to flit between. Also Mrs Greenbeanz wants to go out drinking at a real ale festival and after last weekend she may just add my name to this weekends KO list If I don't try and fit that in somehow.

Thought maybe these two (HBO, Showtime) could be stickied up there instead of the generic "I volunteer" thread to make things a bit more user friendly.

Don't know how I'm gonna juggle all these fights, but I'm gonna try and watch them all tonight. Hopefully the Zab-Danny fight won't coincide with any of the main events on HBO, 'cause I don't want to be switching back and forth. I'll use the DVR, and get ready to watch boxing into the wee hours of the morning.

I don't know much about Murray, but I hope he brings it, so we can have a good fight. Also, barring a disaster, which is not that unlikely in a HW fight, the Arreola-Stiverne fight should be a good one.

Totally excited about tonight!!

I am relying on you to stay awake. :)

Bet on it, bro. ;D

But they'd better be good, or I'll be pissed (and sleepy).

If you add post-fight posting time, I should be up till sun up tomorrow. ;D

Any spoilers/link for the Mago fight? The HBO telecast starts at 8:30 so I imagine he's fighting within the hour.

Thanks in advance :cool:

Nevermind. The result is on boxrec.

Boxing News | Argentina update and results

Bad weather in Buenos Aires. Due to rain and high winds, word is HBO will now present the Sergio Martinez vs. Martin Murray first at 8:30PM ET/5:30PM PT.


Abregu-Decarie currently in the 5th round.

Decaire/Abregu is a pretty good fight so far.

Ref screwed Abregu there.

I've given up on Showtime and Hbo doing whats right by the fans and not going head to head with cards. At least Showtime will do replays at 12am and 8 am. Just noticed they are also reairing Khan v Diaz...at 3am. I feel like I'm going to od ;D

Missing Abregu fight, how goes it?
