In light of the cancellation of Ortiz-Berto II, Showtime is planning what could be a very good tripleheader. Story here:

I say could be, because it's going to depend if Arreola fights somebody half-way decent, or a bum. I hate those TBA opponents!!!

I hate those TBA opponents too, but as long as Arreola fights first, then I can give two shits who he fights. At least the second and 3rd fight will make up for it. Showtime is making things happen because the Kayode/Tarver fight will be a quadruple-header...hopefully all of them will be televised.

That's cool, but they dropped the ball this weekend. How on earth can they not show The Cobra vs. Le Tombeur? Stoopid!!!

Next weekend's highlights for me are the Trout/Rodriguez and Quillin/Wright matches.

wait...showtime isn't showing bute/froch? where am i supposed to catch that!?

It's going to be on Epix. You can sign up for a free trial with no credit card info needed.

Thanks for the reminder re. Epix. I was going to stream it from elsewhere.

Matthyse vs. Soto's another must see on this triple header. Arreola...not that much of a fan.

Matthyse, alone, is worth me watchin'.

Definitely. I'm still waiting for the Maidana/Matthyse grudge match.

Absolutely!

I actually dont mind watching the nipple man (Arreola) fight nowadays. They're actually doing a good job building him back after that terrible loss to Klitz, followed by the loss to Adamek.

As long as they keep him on a card to kill time or hope to see him improve, then Im fine with it. When he's the main event, I then have a problem with it. He's fighting these same bums as he was a few years ago, problem was, he was headlining cards and getting paid good money to do it.

Oh my bad, I forgot that Haymon is his manager...shame on me, huh?
