    Someone needs to start paying you, man. Not me, because I've vowed to keep my hand-painted and hand-crafted SNV lunchboxes to a manageable price for commoners.

    Another very good weekend for boxing. I slightly like the Japanese triple header but all card looks good.

    Hasegawa-Gonzalez should be epic.

    The Japaneese card is definitely the best card of the four but I don't have whatever channel that could be on. As for the cards I can see I like the Lemieux-Rubio fight. That could be very good fight, if Lemieux doesn't get Rubio early (and he could) then it could become interesting to see Lemieux have to go rounds against a decent guy like Rubio who has tons of experience. I'm also looking foward to the Johnson-Davis match up, I haven't made up my mind on Johnson yet and Davis is actually a nice test here.

    IB. You might just be ESBs most valuable poster.

    IB for MVP!!!!

    I just dont get how you can watch so many cards without interruptions from friends family or GF. Not to mention all the PPVs. How the hell do you do it!?

    Hasegawa-Gonzalez is the most anticipated fight for me this year. I'm always excited (and lately worried) about Hozumi and this match-up is happening after long years of going seperate ways. Whoever comes out on top is a legit FW champion among the best, but not sure where the loser goes from here. Fascinating fight and I like Ao-Gutierrez too plus the dude on my avatar defends as well. Bigtime event in Japan following the recent tragedy and I damn hope they will make their own people proud!

    I think Hasegawa is going to stop Gonzalez in brutal fashion.

    This fight could go both ways. Thats why its so intriguing. Gonzalez has some big power but is chinny so who knows.

    The Japanese card. I'm a fan of both Hasegawa and Gonzalez and I think this is a great fight for both of them. Hozumi has the skill and the speed but we don't really know if he's really suited to 126. Al though Jhonny has moved up in weight too, he has brutal power, long reach and is a naturally bigger guy. When you add his chin issues into the mix, however this pans out, it should be entertaining.

    This is the fight of the weekend for me and when you have Nishioka on the same card, I think this is a clear winner.

    I haven't actually seen Raton's last match, but he looked very good against Jackson Asiku (at the time it was on the 2010 FOTY shortlist, maybe top 10-15 in retrospect).

    With that form he could possibly pull a Montiel; an early-mid rounds KO with something perfectly timed while trailing on the cards. That's his best chance: watching for and exploiting a mistake by HH.

    Unfortunately for him HH looked really good in his bounce-back appearance since the Montiel KO (and featherweight debut) and didn't really give Burgos many mistakes to exploit.
