After a stretch that has been highlighted by big names, exorbitant license fees and mediocre ratings, this weekend HBO showcases a triple-header at the Terrible's Primm Valley Casino on the state line of Nevada that has highly touted Cuban jr. lightweight Yuriorkis Gamboa facing Darling Jimenez, hard-hitting jr. middleweight Alfredo Angulo facing Richard Gutierrez, and exciting James Kirkland taking on the active Eromosele Albert in another competitive bout in the 154-pound class.
In short, it's a vintage 'Boxing After Dark' telecast - young, relatively unknown commodities looking to break through to the next echelon in stern tests.

Bradley Upsets Witter On The Road, Froch Rocks At Home
By Jake Donovan
 |
Affixed on his journey to one day meet with the junior welterweight king Ricky Hatton, Junior Witter didn't count on running into a new sheriff of Nottingham.
Tim Bradley's dream showcase turned into Junior Witter's worst nightmare, as the undefeated American challenger scored a huge upset in the main event of SHOWTIME's ShoBox: The New Generation telecast, aired via tape-delay from the Trent FM Arena in Nottingham, England.
It was a slow pace to start the bout, with Witter beginning in the southpaw stance before flipping to conventional midway through the round.

Say what you will about Floyd Mayweather, Jr., but it seems like after guys lose to him, they, like Dorothy in 'The Wizard of Oz' just close their eyes, click their heels together and repeat the words, "There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home."
Last weekend it was Oscar De La Hoya, who after losing to Floyd "The Wicked Witch of the West" Mayweather, Jr. last year, went back home to fight in Los Angeles for the first time in eight years. The promotion was titled "Homecoming" and it attracted nearly 30,000 fans.
In two weeks it'll be Ricky Hatton's turn to fight in...
