Is it Still Showtime on New Years Eve?

With Zsolt Erdei pulling out of his bout with
IBF light heavyweight titlist, Tavoris Cloud, the Showtime doubleheader
that night scheduled for Anaheim (and has the bantamweight bout between
Rico Ramos and Guillermo Rigondeaux in the opener) is in jeopardy.
But I’ve heard two different things from various sources. One is that
the show will go on with Cloud versus a suitable opponent (such as a
Gabe Campillo, for instance) or another main event (and I’ve been told
that promoters have made their pitches to the network for a new main
event. Word is that the new Showtime boxing czar, Stephen Espinoza isn’t
all that high on Cloud and is by no means, wed to the idea of
showcasing him.
Others tell me that it’s doubtful that this card goes on with no set
main event with just three weeks to go. We’ll keep you updated on this
situation.
- If you want to see the WBO flyweight title bout from Manila this
weekend between Brian Viloria and Giovanni Segura, it’s being offered by
Intergrated Sports on pay-per-view for $29.95.
