Abraham-Marquez collide today!

The grand tradition of live, televised boxing on Saturday afternoon is back today in North America as the world middlweight title clash between unbeaten IBF champion Arthur Abraham (27-0, 22 KOs) and former IBF light middleweight champion/US Olympian Raul Marquez (41-3-1, 29 KOs) will air on pay-per-view at 3PM Eastern/Noon Pacific time direct from the Jako Arena in Bamberg, Germany. In the co-feature, cruiserweight Otis Griffin (19-3-2, 7 KOs), winner of the "Next Great Champ" reality series, takes on highly regarded Enad Licina (14-1, 8 KOs) in a twelve rounder for the IBF Intercontinental belt. The telecast will be distributed in the United States and Canada by Integrated Sports for live viewing in English and Spanish on both cable and satellite pay-per-view via iN Demand, TVN, DISH Network, Viewer's Choice Canada, and Bell ExpressVue, for a suggested retail price of $24.95. The team of Al Bernstein and Nick Charles will be calling the action.
