    This will be on HBO?

    That is great, great news. Am looking forward to this whole card, top to bottom.

    Any idea how many or which fights they will broadcast?

    The whole card is insanely stacked. Check it out:
    Zou Shiming vs. Eleazar Valenzuela
    Brian Viloria vs. Juan Estrada
    Roman Martinez vs. Diego Magdaleno
    Vanes Martirosyan vs. Javier Maciel
    Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. vs. Yasutaka Ishimoto
    Milan Melindo vs. Tommy Seran

    Don't exactly know why but I'm soo glad they're both back.



    Was thinking what's up with George today. Last time I heard anything about him was that (other than things to do with promotion of his grill) he just stays home, spending time with family. Not that it's bad but I also remembered him saying "Nothing better for a man than to wake up in the morning and have a job to do" when speculating about yet another comeback in his 50's. He must miss boxing.

    As for Larry.. well, don't we all love the old ******* and (while Foreman is just my fav boxer ever) I really don't know why I do other than for the fact he's just a good commentator. Boxing somehow isn't the same without him and we all also know that it's not long before it will have to do without him forever.

    They need a mediator like Bob Papa to keep them in check or else George will go HAM and smack Merchant if Merchant gets outta line :lol:

    It's weird, I'll make sure to catch big fights in the UK or Germany, and I'll stay up super super late to watch fights in Japan or Australia, but if it's a "lower level" untelevised fight in America or Mexico I just wait til youtube a few days later...
