Jorge Linares v Luke Campbell Sept. 23 HBO/Sky Sports

[Master]

Is this on at 2am? I am not able to make another late weekend this week Batman.

[Batman]

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

[Beanz]

I am cording it as have been working days and nights this weekend and am knackereded.

cording it? you must be tired or is that a new way of watching the fight?

[Spicoli]

What channel is this on? (Can't find it to tape it, I'm out tomorrow)

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.

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.

[Kirkland Laing]

Nice ten count for La Motta.

[Spicoli]

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.

[Fenster]

Campbell range giving Linares problems, although he was having a look there

[ruthless rocco]

wow!

[Alpha]

Nice left landed for Linares in the 2nd. Right floors Campbell.

[Fenster]

Campbell boxing great.. whoops, Linares changes gear and that's it (almost). Electric

[Kirkland Laing]

Campbell starting to look like roadkill.

[Spicoli]

Beautiful right , almost swept his foot also . Awkward place for a cut with no head butting? Campbell doing well to take holes Linares gives him in 3rd

[ruthless rocco]

great fight!

[Alpha]

Campbell recovered well in the 3rd. Linares still controlling things.
