For those in America or streaming, I think the SHO EXTREME undercard action is on air in 20 minutes :good

 

[Indigo Pab]

This is on Sky Sports 1? You mean that I have to get out of bed to watch this on TV now?

@Roe any idea what time Peterson Matthysse are on?

 

[Chatty]

About 3 I think

@Roe any idea what time Peterson Matthysse are on?

Shouldn't be too late for us here. Showtime are on at 2am our time and I think they're starting by showing the final episode of the behind the scenes stuff about Mayweather/Guerrero. That should be done by half 2, then it's on to Alexander/Purdy then Peterson/Matthysse. I'd say around it'll probably be starting just about 3:15 am our time.

*All of this is mostly guesswork. But I think I'm right :good

 

[BUMPY]

Cheers @chatty and at @Roe

 

[Roe]

Any final predictions for this show?

- I think Alexander beats Purdy comfortably. He's at least a level or two above and will get the stoppage around the half way mark. Alexander TKO 5.

- I actually think Peterson can beat Matthysse. It's gonna be a cracking fight and I can't see anything other than them both going to war. Matthysse is very good but Peterson is really in form and I think he'll surprise a few and possibly edge a decision. Really looking forward to this fight, it deserves more hype. Peterson SD.

I really wouldn't want to bet on Peterson vs. Matthysse, but I'm hoping Lucas knocks Mr. T-Pellet the fuck out.

Do we have rough fight times?

Sorry, should've read earlier posts.

 

[Lunny]

LETS DO THIS

The Peterson-Matthysse fight is a toss up for me. I love Matthysse but think he may be a bit overrated, people seem to think he's more than he is imo. Still I'm all over his balls and hope he knocks Peterson out.

 

[thehook13]

Will be refreshing for updates. hopefully no crashs on CHB

I like Matthysse He might get exposed tonight but a akward boxer like Peterson. The division would probably be better off of Peterson won, i want to see a rematch with Khan sometime soon

Agree with this. I think some people go too far the other way with the 'him being avoided' angle. But he's still looking very good.

 

[Chatty]

Alexander will stop Purdy in the first half of the fight in an as expected simple win. Just on a different level.

Matthysse will TKO Peterson in a great fight with twists and turns. I think his power will show thorugh in the end and peterson is there to be hit. I do think Peterson will have his moments though, may even hurt Matthysse. I'm expecting a quality fight.

 

[Roe]

Sky still trying to hype Purdy up :lol:

 

[Nyanners :sad5]

Devon Alexander looks like casper when he morphs into a fried egg.

 

[Chatty]

:lol::rofl at the whole of Alexanders highlight reel being his knockout of Urango from different angles and speeds in hope that we wouldn't notice it was the same fighter. I think half a second of Bradley fitted in there as well.

 

[Lunny]

Agree with this. I think some people go too far the other way with the 'him being avoided' angle. But he's still looking very good.

Yeah that's spot on. He was out of the limelight for a while whilst he was doing good things and those decisions that went against him helped boost a sort of cult following that had him as the new god of the division.

He's still fucking good though and I'd love the Alexander rematch.
