Lucas Matthysse - Ajose Olusegun this weekend!

[Diane]

Well I give Garcia credit for showing heart in the fight. Survived a knockdown, and complained about not being able to get air, and he kept fighting on.

Garcia went the distance, who knew, UD for Smith - see ya'll back here in about 45 mins for the main.

I like seeing Tompkins and Bernstein duo on the mic again. Marc Johnson! Nice.

No idea who this other fella is...but at least he's not Gus Johnson. Point: fans.

Here we go, Al Bernstein, Barry Thompkins and Mark Johnson ( not Gus ) calling the action, 1st up J'Leon Love vs. Ramon Valenzuela.

The HBO card will start in about 45 minutes, or about 10:00 PM ET, with Vitali vs. Charr 1st up.

Is it just me, or does Valenzuela look like a caveman?

According to the TV guide, I'm seeing Ward-Dawson at 9:45 pm EST (about half hour from now) on HBO... and Matthysse-Olusegun at 12:00 am on Showtime. The Matthysse fight is awful late... I hope it's a live telecast.

The Matthysse fight is on at 12 midnight local time (EST). Does that sound right?

Agree Tompkins and Bernstein works for me, i'm not sure about Mark Johnson, but i'm just glad Gus isn't calling the fight.

Poor ol' Valenzuela looks like the third pic off of some evolutionary chart. I expect he'll give it all while it lasts.

More like 10:00 PM ET, Tito, or after this fight ends.

But Ward-Dawson is at 9:45. Are the fights happening simultaneously?

Yup, on Showtime and HBO, bad scheduling, i'll be switching back and forth.

Olusegun's hair looks ridiculous.

No doubt. I might be off but I swear I heard Gus screaming on the Nebraska vs UCLA game earlier ?

Never heard Johnson on the mic, just good to see him. World class fly right there, tremendous speed.

Love looks way to much like Devon Alexander in the face for me.

Valenzuela doesn't move his head, it's just there to be hit.
