What time does the fight come on in Australia?

Not sure mate, I dont think main event has it up on the screen yet.

The fight that has me interested is the Josesito Lopez fight. His original trainer died in 2005, I think, and he was a very good man. I sat next to him one night at the Forum, in LA, and it was a pleasure to talk boxing with him. I saw Josesito fight in early 2007 and, while his opposition wasn't much, he was really setting down on his punches. His promoter, Thompson Promotions, also developed Bradley. I hope he wins.

Some good fights Saturday, I believe Ortiz is going to give Mayweather all he can handle, the cards start at 9:00 PM EST here in North America and 5-6 hours later in the UK/Europe.

I got my boy "Vicious Victor" Ortiz winning by TKO, who you muthafukas got?

I'd love to take your sig. You want to sig bet on this one big dog? I'll take Floyd.

As much as I'd love to see Ortiz stomp a mud hole in Floyds backside I think his chances are slim and none. His desire is rekindled and merits mass respect for making his detractors eat their words by knocking around a frozen and flawed Berto but any comparison ends when Floyd laces his gloves. Berto was landing wind up eyes half closed shots on A squared and frontal Ortiz and I think Mayweather will have him looking like a new born calf midway on balance alone. Ortiz best hope is to just jump him school yard style really as he really has nothing to lose and the world to gain.

[Latim]

I see Ortiz eating a lot of right hands. That is all.

No sig bet Rant-Cat, Floyd is slicker then owl shit, and could win a decision, so it wouldn't be a good bet for me. I just believe if Victor brings the same fire & determination he did against Berto, keeps the pressure on, and shows Mayweather no respect, he's got a good chance at pulling off the upset. Floyd is good, but he ain't fucking superman.

Fair play Mars. Are you one of those that thought Ortiz would win more rounds against Mayweather than Marquez would against Pacquiao?

Amen brother.

I definitely think this will be his toughest fight in recent memory. Mosley was shot, JMM a blown up LW, ODLH was shot, he said it himself. I think his heart will be tested even more than the Maidana fight, Floyd will frustrate him throughout the night and Vic will have to keep coming through punches. I would love for Vic to get the win

It would have to be considered a big upset, let's hope Ortiz doesn't get screwed on the Judges scorecards if it goes to a decision. Vic is the 'Champion', so it's up to Floyd to take the title, and Vic ain't gonna give it up easy.

I agree 100%, Ortiz is not going to make it easy for Floyd. He's going to have to get the KO to get the win. If it goes to a decision i can't see him winning it. I'm really pulling for Vic, i'm tired of listening to the Mayweathers.

I'm sick of this Canelo clown, a total ginger hype job from the off. Handpicked opponents, always on HBO. Fraud!

I hope Ortiz wins by KO, but I really haven't been impressed with him in recent fights. A punchers chance is all he has. Mayweather will likely box his head off and maybe even force the stoppage.

Good assesment on both counts.

Canelo needs to step up and start fighting some real fighters.

I have a feeling Ortiz vs. Mayweather could look a lot like Gatti vs. Mayweather
