Two quality fights not on tv?! I thought allegedly may have picked them up as they've shown a few of Rios
Rios v Alvarado is going to be a brutal war with Alvarado setting a high pace from the start and Rios answering back in his own no nonsense way it could go either way IMO but can see Alvarado taking it on points in a close one and Donaire on points with a few close rounds early on

I can see Rios winning by stoppage and Donaire maybe win a close points dec.

I'm going for Alvarado by stoppage, I know that doesn't appear to be a popular pick.

I'd have thought that Donaire boils down to two things - How up for this is he and how will his hand hold up. If those two stars are aligned then either a late stoppage or points win for him. No disrespect to Nishioka, but Donaire just has more to his game, hits harder and is just that bit flashier. He is a very crafty technical fighter so I expect there might be a lot of foot placement going on here.

Pathetic our so called two boxing channels, particularly allegedly ( which I'll cancel ) are not showing such a good bill, instead giving us low rent eastern euro "world title" boxing instead.

Alvarado is massivlely tough, and Graham Houston picks him, so that's a very good indication what's going to happen - got to love Rios though, in fact I hope he wins.

And Donaire looks too much for even the excellent Japanese Super Fly

Showing Rios/Abril repeat at 1am according to schedule

Yes, I'm sorry , it's not the fantastic bout that we'd like to see - it is a repeated show, more's the pity.

im going for rios to win an absolute war and although im a big fan of nishioka i think age and inactivity will go against him with a fighter as skilled as donaire and i fancy the filipino flash to win a fairly routine decision Rios SD Donaire UD

Does anyone know if these fights from California are being shown anywhere?

I've checked SKY Sports & allegedly and neither seem to be. Honestly I'm shocked, we've done well for awhile and not missed any big fights in Britain now it seems there's a glaring hole in our boxing coverage with these fights not being shown.

Not on Primetime either, maybe Arum wanted too much?

You couldn't of paid to much for this show, it's a great show we've been in great shape of late seeing all the big fights, shame on the broadcasters missing these fights.
