ALVARADO VS PROVODNIKOV OCT. 19TH ON HBO FOLLOWED BY LEGENDARY NIGHTS: THE TALE OF GATTI-WARD

PhilBoxing.com




HBO Sports returns with an action-packed night of boxing, headlined by a junior welterweight title bout featuring two of the most exciting fighters when WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING: MIKE ALVARADO VS. RUSLAN PROVODNIKOV airs SATURDAY, OCT. 19 at 9:45 p.m. (live ET/tape-delayed PT) from the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colo., exclusively on HBO.

In a 12-round showcase event, Denver?s Mike Alvarado (34-1, 23 KOs) defends his home turf and 140-pound title against Ruslan Provodnikov (22-2, 15 KOs) of Russia in a junior welterweight clash, marking HBO?s first boxing telecast from the Mile High City. After beating Brandon Rios in March to avenge his only career loss, Alvarado, 32, looks to continue his rise in the junior welterweight ranks. The 29-year-old Provodnikov, who lost by decision to welterweight champion Timothy Bradley Jr. in a sizzling contest last March on HBO, looks to foil those plans by going toe-to-toe with the taller Alvarado. Both of their previous bouts are widely considered Fight of the Year candidates, making this one of the most-anticipated fall match ups. The HBO Sports team will call all the action, which will be available in HDTV, closed-captioned for the hearing impaired and presented in Spanish on HBO Latino.

LEGENDARY NIGHTS: THE TALE OF GATTI-WARD:
HBO Sports, winner of nine George Foster Peabody Awards and 33 Sports Emmys for documentaries, presents a new installment of the acclaimed LEGENDARY NIGHTS boxing documentary series this month when THE TALE OF GATTI-WARD looks back at one of boxing?s greatest rivalries, spotlighting the three-fight slugfest between Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward.
