    Be interested to see how they fill out the card. Surely they have to playing catchup with cards as the Mayweather carnival on Showtime ppv is going to eclipse the Cotto fight the same night on regular HBO. Odd when you think about it that Linares some 15+ years in will be on it's air for the very first time.
    For what limited budget they have now HBO are making some strange decisions. I don't think there'll be much of an undercard for this one. As far as the main event goes I can't get over Campbell getting beaten by Mendy was it. He looked like a little boy. He hasn't operated at anything like the level Linares has. Add on the fact he's away from home and I don't fancy his chances too much.

    It's in the title HBO and it appears Sky also. Replays on Sunday morning HBO also.

    Big disappointment with co main event being totally scrapped at last minute. #1 ranked..numero uno..140lb Antonio Orozco was set to face Roberto Ortiz but both came in overweight! FFS how and why does this happen so often now and how do you NOT know in Orozcos case that you are seven pounds over It's beyond unprofessional and a helluva way to blow prime network exposure.

    the cynical fight fan in me says someone got another offer. Ok maybe he's just a fat slacker . Plenty of room for replay of Golovkin vs Canelo now is anyone wants to stomach that pill again. I finally get to see the fight.

    Ortiz missed the weight too. Wasn't Orozco pulled from his fight with Fidel Maldonado last year as well due to dehydration? Pretty obvious he needs to move up.

    It happens so often now because people realized how much of an advantage it is to become really good at cutting weight.

    Years ago people trained to make weight. Nobody wants to make weight now. They want to be far bigger than the weight, cut weight, pile it all back on immediately.

    Think of Brook/Spence and how often those two talked about how big they are. Because they are 175-180 between fights. They are 147 for 20 minutes 30 hours before they fight.

    Guys learn to manipulate the loopholes and day prior weigh ins but it's on them if they pile on pre and post, just honor your end of the agreement or as Alpha said just simply move up. It shouldn't comes down to either a guy comes in gaunt and drained or they just ignore the contracts and basically damage professional rep etc. Also why we see so much division jumping to quick grab a trinket and then toss it on the scale when a defense comes around. Basically there is no repercussions to a guy blowing the weight and costing the network and event other than losing a payday. Surely has to make promoters or hbo weary of working with them in future and for a guy in Orozcos place, still largely unknown but right on the cusp of big opportunities it's a dumb move.

    Linares chin has the density of morning toast so can't rule anything out, this should be fun while it lasts. Campbell one big gangly kid.

    Yeah it's another late one, I'll not be staying up for it either, it just doesn't warrant a late night.

    Good fight and everything but I'll watch it in the morning
