HBO's award-winning reality series 24/7 returns this Saturday, November 7, with 24/7 Pacquiao/Cotto Episode Three On HBO. Then World Championship Boxing returns with the rematch title fight of Chad Dawson vs. Glen Johnson.

The sport of boxing's number one pound-for-pound fighter, Filipino sensation Manny Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KOs) continues to focus on his training in Los Angeles, despite the tension between members of his own training camp (more so the animosity between his strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza and his adviser Michael Koncz). WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-1, 27 KOs) and his training team move into Las Vegas one week early to fully prepare for the November 14th super mega fight show down.

Following the debut of 24/7 Pacquiao/Cotto Episode Three is the live, world championship, light heavy title fight between undefeated IBO champion Chad Dawson 28(17)-0 and former light heavyweight champion and Boxing Writers Association of America “Fighter of the Year,” Glen Johnson (49-12-2, 33 KOs). Their first fight ended in a controversial decision awarded to Dawson, where many ringside experts felt Johnson had won based on landing the cleaner shots and staying more active and pressuring Dawson for the majority of the fight.

The opening fight will have the exciting, fast-rising knock out artist Alfredo Angulo (16-1, 13 KOs) of Coachella, Cal. taking on Harry Joe Yorgey (22-0-1, 10 KOs) of Bridgeport, Pa. in a 12-round junior middleweight bout. Angulo has been dominating the 154-pound division with ease. Yorgey is a technical yet all-action fighter who may have what it takes to give the knock out artist a hard fight.
