Boxing on ESPN Tonight

[deano92]

My TV guide says we've got David Estrada vs. Orlando Lora at half 1 tonight... I thought there was a UFC repeat on at 2am, but if there is live boxing that is awesome.

Is this on any else's guide? If this has already been covered please delete this thread lol.

Well we can talk about it on this thread. I added it to my schedule.

I would really appreciate if ESPN subscribers could tell us when boxing is on the channel.... Particularly if its a free weekend.

I've noticed SSN are plugging ESPN shows now - so maybe they will show more boxing.

My (virgin) TV guide also says live ESPN boxing at 1.30am tonight (technically Sunday morning I guess), although its a 2 hour show, so it will clash with Sky Sports' live coverage of Berto's title defence, which starts at 2.30am.

Main event of the ESPN show is 26-0 Orlando Lara, against 23-6 David Estrada.

Shame they overlap, as the chief support to Berto vs Quintana is Celestino Caballero (33-2) vs Daud Yordan, who's 25-0 with 19 stoppages.

For midnight oil burning channel hoppers, maybe the first hour of Sky's live coverage will be mainly talk and four round fights. I think I'll be watching the entire ESPN show, then changing channels at half three, and taping Sky's remaining coverage, the main event won't be on by half three, and hopefully the chief support won't either... :)

bit of a sickener because Dean Byrne was supposed to be on this card but his opponent pulled out.

It won't. HBO aren't due on air till 3.30am-hence why the ESPN card runs from 1.30 till 3.30

And HBO are showing the Caballero v Yordan and Berto v Quintana fights live, so you won't miss much by watching the whole ESPN card, then switching to sky.
