NEW YORK – December 5, 2012 – NBC Sports Network continues its Fight Night series, Friday night at 10 p.m. ET with a main event featuring Bryant Jennings (15-0, 7 KO’s) of Philadelphia, Pa. vs. Bowie Tupou (22-2, 16 KO’s) of Las Vegas, Nev., at Temple University’s Pearson and McGonigle Halls in Philadelphia, Pa.

Since that time he has gone on to win NBC Sports Network Fight Night  bouts against former heavyweight champion Sergei Liakhovich and Steve Collins.

In the co-feature, Eric Hunter (16-2, 9 KO’s) of Philadelphia, Pa. steps in to the ring against undefeated Jerry Belmontes (17-0, 5 KO’s) of Corpus Christi, Texas., in a 10-round junior lightweight fight.

Kenny Rice will serve as the play-by-play commentator for the telecast, and will be joined by cruiserweight contender B.J. Flores. Chris Mannix will serve as the ringside reporter for each telecast.
