    The first fight was on Showtime - Froch V Kessler - very good fight. I thought at one point "is Froch fast enough for that hands down style?" I guess he is.

    Switch over to HBO - next fight - I thought Angulo was going to get outboxed ala Cintron/ Angulo, ala Martinez/Pavlik, ala Dirrel/Abraham but he pulled it out. That is the drama of watching him fight. The guy is an awesome puncher.

    Last fight - Adamek V Areola - I thought Areola might get the upper hand at some point, but Adamek was the better boxer. I thought it was very classy for Chris to tell the crowd, which was overwhelmingly for him, to "give it up" for Adamek and he had other good things to say him.

    Being a critics is OK, but it is nice to just enjoy some boxing.

    It's been a very long time since I've felt so spoiled as a fan of the sport. Wish we had more runs like that.

    You boys in are lucky - I live in UK, booked the Forch fight for 15 pounds and couldn;t watch it (AGAIN) as they ****ed up. And as for the Ademek fight - I got more chance of winning the lottery 52 weeks running than seeing fights like that over here!!
    Glad you had a good nites viewingthough

    I streamed both fights and I'm from Ireland! Someone at the scene of boxing usually has a stream.
