    Good month for HBO and especially ESPN.

    Showtimes PPV card is pretty solid too:

    Miguel Cotto vs. Ricardo Mayorga, 12 rounds, for Cotto's WBA junior middleweight title;
    Miguel Vazquez vs. Leonardo Zappavigna, 12 rounds, for Vazquez's IBF lightweight title;
    Yuri Foreman vs. Pawel Wolak, 10 rounds, junior middleweights;
    Christy Martin vs. Dakota Stone, rematch, 6 rounds, female junior middleweights;

    I wish they would replace the Christy martin fight with the J. Clottey fight.

    Good for us hardcore fans, not great match ups though. Just great boxers in fights they should win, Pirog, Sergio, Cotto....

    Yuri Foreman vs. Pawel Wolak
    Demetrius Hopkins vs. Brad Solomon
    Sergio Martinez vs. Sergei Dzinziruk
    Zab Judah vs. Kaizer Mabuza

    I think those fights are good match ups.

    Do Wolak/Dzinziruk have what it takes to beat Foreman/Martinez?
    Is Brad the real deal?
    How has Sweat Pea changed Zab?

    You left out Andy Lee v Craig McEwan which is better than most of the fights in your list.

    I'm sure more people agree with you. I just put down the fights I care about. I got to see Andy Lee fight before I get into him.

    No doubt. It rivals last November which to resent dates has been the strongest month in boxing.

    So many good match ups along with half of december.
