NBCSN aired its Corner to Corner special last night, following the co-headliners on Premier Boxing Champions' March 7 card as they prepare to kick off the series, and boxing fans around the Twittersphere and media took notice.
The special, which will air encore broadcasts on NBCSN March 4 (11 p.m. ET), 6 (6:30 and 10 p.m.) and 7 (2:30 and 7:30 p.m.) checked in on Keith Thurman, Robert Guerrero, Adrien Broner and John Molina Jr. on their road to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Those fights will be broadcast live on NBC at 8:30 p.m. ET. Here's what boxing afficionados had to say about the show:
The PBC's "Corner To Corner" preview show much more about showing the true character of each fighter than trying to entertain. Nice change.
