Jan. 20
At Las Vegas (Showtime): Rico Ramos vs. Guillermo Rigondeaux, 12 rounds, for Ramos' WBA junior featherweight title; Guy Robb vs. Joel Diaz, 8 rounds, junior lightweights; Matt Villanueva vs. Michael Ruiz Jr., 6 or 8 rounds, junior bantamweights; Javier Molina vs. TBA, 6 or 8 rounds, welterweights.
Why is it starting so late? I don't get it here until midnight (2 AM ET)
I know. The most annoying thing is that both HBO and Showtime don't play the HD versions of their fights live on the West Coast, so it will start at 11pm (also 2am ET). I could watch it in non-HD live as early as 8pm, but that looks pretty crappy on a 50-inch screen.
It's especially annoying because whatever they're playing at 8pm in HD (a movie) is available 24/7 on OnDemand anyway.
This all but assures I'll already be drunk by the time the undercard starts and will be lazy about scoring the fights.
At least HBO has an east coast feed.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
