Crap! Once again HBO and Showtime go up against each other and force us to switch between fights.

We get the same stupid thing in the UK with SKY SPORTS and BOXNATION. It's stupid because they both must lose out on viewers.

It's insane. A nightmare scenario is choosing one fight over another... and then tuning into the other channel just to check...... just in time to hear the announcer scream ".... and this ends the most incredible comeback, finish, improbable knockout in boxing history!!!!!"

I never understood that, its not like we don't have weekends with no fights at all....

Korobov badly hurt in round 1 after looking like he was going to end it early. Nice start to the card

It's enough to make a person curse, loudly!

That's right!

I was hitting the "Last" button on the remote the whole time, and hoping I wouldn't come back to a fight only to have missed "FOTY-type" fireworks, and the announcer frothing at the mouth. Fortunately, both main events were relatively uneventful.

Whats even more insane is flipping between two threads also so not to 'spoil' results. Next time they go head to head we need on big Buffett thread . You know it's bad when you catch yourself trying to mute Lampley with your mobile and use your remote as a mouse

[TitoFan]

Speaking of Lampley.... you do have to give him credit for at least an attempt at humor. Don't remember the round, when he all of a sudden shouted "Big right hand by Agbeko!!" (Sort of jolted me from a slight drowsiness, so it wasn't all bad). He then laughed about it, saying he wanted to put some excitement in what was otherwise a dull effort to that point by Agbeko.
