    I'm running through the bouts that are listed and there are really very few intriguing, relevant fights at the top level.

    Probably my most looked-forward-to are :
    Pascal vs Bute
    and
    Lomachenko vs Salido (which isn't even until March)

    Anyone else who feels this way? I don't give a **** about PEDerson, GGG's taking another soft touch, the heavyweight division is still a goddamn mess, etc.

    It's not spectacular so far but give it some time.

    GGG better get a big fight soon. The guy is getting old and hasn't really made a name for himself.

    Hopefully Quillin happens this year.

    Those two fights are a very good start.

    GGG is fun to watch but he keeps taking easy fights for some reason. He is even older than Wilder but he gets hype on this forum because he is almost white. There is a reason GGG is taking easy fights at his old age. If he was as good as people claim on this forum he would have been a champion 10 years ago. I'm afraid he will get exposed soon much like Boystov did. Even against bums I noticed GGG is easy to his and he swells around the eyes with ease.

    He is fighting better opponent than wilder by far, and he turned pro in 2006, and before that he had a very decorated amateur career. And he has been wanting to fight Sergio and the best at 160. I would also like to add that the fight with Proksa was going to be with Pirog who got injured. Hell the guy was pretty much unkon to USA till recently.

    I disagree. There are plenty of intriguing matchups that will take place in the coming weeks. Garcia vs. Burgos will be a competitive fight. Burgos is no mug. I had him winning 9 rounds to 3 against Martinez. Huck vs. Arslan and Ortiz vs. Collazo are also fights to look out for this month.

    Garcia vs Burgos should be fun for as long as it lasts.

    IDK I'm pretty happy - 3 weeks in an we got Pascal - Bute, Perez - Takam and the ever faithful TBA vs Eleidar Alvarez., Stevens -Majewski, Garcia - Burgos, Rosado - Charlo, Jennings - Spilka, Redkach - Luis, Mchunu's back in action, Peterson - Jean, Arslan -Huck.

    **** - these are some pretty good fights y'know. OK - not many actual title fights but plenty going on and some good action with hot prospects on the undercards too...

    IDK perhaps we've been too spoilt by 2013.:bbb
