Undercard action starting right now on Showtime Extreme....Cruisers Marcus Brown 4-0 (4) vs Ricardo Campillo 7-6-1 (5)...don't blink

Corona gals...9.5 stars of 10 thus far

[Spicoli]

Brown goes 5-0 tko 2 over a willing but badly outclassed fulltime karate instructor Campillo.

Julian Williams 12-0 (7) vs a seemingly faded Joachim Alcine 33-4-1 (19) at the bell..

[Spicoli]

Batting practice for Williams...Alcine down 1 min into it but bulls him to ropes and smothers to survive round.

Can't see anything other than a Broner TKO in this one. They're both on very different career trajectory's right now. I don't think the whole "jumping 2 weight classes" is going to be that big a deal either, Broner looked good at the weigh in and Paulie is hardly a big welterweight himself. Plus he couldn't crack an egg so it's not like Broner is going to have to be wary of a bigger man's power.

Great heart by Alcine

[Spicoli]

This has actually turned into a good scrap by the old champ. Williams in control 1-4 includind a hard left hook KD, a "kd" via left hook on the break he was warned about. Alcine down yet again in 5th by left hook....then Alcine comes back in round, starts digging body very hard and catching Williams to win rounds 6,7,8 here. IF this was maybe a 10 rounder it would have been interesting. How he survived 4th, early 5th who knows.

Williams W.8

I really hope paulie can beat broner but i dont think he will i hope im wrong.

Same here.

Can't stand Broner, used to hate Paulie years ago, but I've come to like and respect him.

Its really hard to pick Paulie in this one, I keep thinking about how he was utterly lost and dominated by Amir Khan.

Speed kills. Broner has a lot more of it than Paulie.

Broner should win this by decision.

Lets see if Periban is in over his head or not

Should decide who gets to possibly warm a belt for Chavez? Periban doing well picking spots

Sorry dude. Coverage only just started here in the UK, so I've not paid attention till now.

I reckon Bika, Banks and Broner get the Triple B victories!

Doing better than I thought so far

[Violent Demise]

Bika looks frustrated that Peiban is taking his punches

Yea but to be honest Bika looks weak. Chavez won't have issues with either of these guys

No cant see it. Paulie struggled with Cano. Broner is far better then Cano. Broner will stop him mid to late

He struggled with Cano and he was stopped by Hatton and Khan, and lost to Cotto. At this point, in my opinion, Paulie signed up for this fight for the pay check. He's making $1.25M.

By the way, is it me or is paying Broner $1.5M to face Paulie just completely ridiculous? To put it in perspective, Cano made $150k for his fight against Paulie. Cano made 10% Broner's pay check for facing the same guy. It's not like the fight is in Cincinnati so there is no way Broner is influencing ticket sales to such an extent that it makes it worth it to pay him that much money to face Paulie.

Paulie's last fight was an undercard fight. This is a main event. Broner will no doubt have a contract minimum of over a million and Paulie has been offered more than GBP would pay him for any other fight so that he gives Broner the belt opportunity.

They're hoping Paulie in a big fight plus Broner's growing shall we say notoriety is going to sell lots of tickets and Broner already attracts main event TV money so they should make money and add value to their Broner product.

It kind of looks like bear baiting with just one dog. When Bika does catch Periban, he looks stronger and more seasoned than Periban. It's hard to see Periban getting the better of this one so far.
