Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?
Enjoyed the last episode of 24/7. I'm looking forward to tonights action. Mayweather Vs. Cotto should start between 4:30am to 5:00am depending on how the undercard action goes.
It's interesting that Boxnation have Anthony Crolla, a Ricky Hatton fighter, as one of their studio pundits. Even more interesting is Spencer Fearon, of Hard Knock Boxing Promotions on commentary. I wonder if Boxnation are branching out to get more promoters and more British fighters on their channel?
Here's my picks for tonight:
Robert Stieglitz beats Nader Hamdan on points
Marco Huck beats Ola Afolabi on points
Saul Alvarez beats Shane Mosley on points
Floyd Mayweather beats Miguel Cotto by late stoppage
If there is going to be an upset in any fight tonight, it'll be in the Huck Vs. Afolabi fight. Huck had a tough fight against Povetkin at heavyweight only 9 weeks ago. Huck put on 12 pounds for the fight coming in at 210lb. He should weight around 198lb tonight. The weight gain, and weight loss might just be a factor. Afolabi believed he was robbed in their 2009 battle and is highly motivated. This should be a war. Let's hope Britain has a new Cruiserweight champion before Mayweather and Cotto face off.
