That Wilder PPV heading to Fox likely means we're close to the end for Showtime as a boxing broadcast entity.
I think it is going to look just like the Thurman fight. However I do not think Spence is going to kill him though. Porter is battle ready/tested. It's going to be entertaining.
So disappointed this is in Los Angeles. I just so happened to have to be in Vegas this weekend and got excited it could have been there. Nope
Here's what we've got tonight: FS1, 7:30 pm ET, Robert Guerrero vs Jerry Thomas, Joey Spencer vs Travis Gambardella. The pre-PPV portion of the Premier Boxing Champions show will give us the return of aging vet Guerrero and a fight with middleweight prospect Spencer, whom PBC is high on.
PPV, 9:00 pm ET, Errol Spence Jr vs Shawn Porter, Anthony Dirrell vs David Benavidez, Mario Barrios vs Batyr Akhmedov, Josesito Lopez vs John Molina Jr. As pay-per-views go in this era of the pay-per-view dying its death, this is about as “worth $75 for a single boxing show” as you’re going to get. I mean, I’ll give PBC that much. Spence is arguably the top welterweight in the world, and he tries to unify two belts against Porter in this main event. Dirrell-Benavidez is a legit matchup at 168 for a title, Barrios-Akhmedov is a meeting of unbeaten 140-pounders for a vacant WBA secondary title, and Lopez-Molina should be a good, gritty veteran fight at 147.

Good stoppage. Save him from himself. Josesito is as good of a gatekeeper as we've had in a while at 147. Should be the test guy for every up and coming 147 prospect.
