Barrios missed the weight and has been stripped of his belt. Only Guzman can win it tonight. Great fight, im looking foward to it maybe more than the main event.

Yes this will be a cracker, the only thing spoiling the night for me is the fact i am not going to be able to watch it. I read on a thread here that it was on SKY Sports1 but TV Quick magazine said Sky Sports 2, i then brought Boxing News which said SS1 and now the TV guide on SKY says SS2. I only have the first sports channel, why all the confusion?

It should be on SS1 LIVE!... they will probably show rerund on SS2... but the live broadcast is on 1.

On Skys website it say the fights are on SS1.... 8)

disapointing that Barrios has failed to make the weight... takes the shine off the fight for me and also could be an unfair advantage to Barrios... another example of the stupidity of weighing in a day before the fight!...

The fight is live on SS2.

THey switch them around to make sure you pay for all 3 channels, the fukcers...

Still, its worked with me as I pay thru the nose for the lot, so I will be watching!

And the funny thing is for the anchondo fight barrios came in at 128lbs whilst anchondo couldnt make the weight. Very unprofessional of barrios and I agree takes away some anticipation knowing that both fighters might not be at their best(i.e weight weakened/advantage)
