Thanks, guys. I hope it's useful.

I'm also certain I'm missing some fights (according to BoxRec, I'm missing about 50!), but I'll post new versions as things change.

Also, television information for overseas fights is difficult to obtain. I welcome any input from those in the know.

 

Added. Thanks!

 

Looking at the schedule, I can't even begin to contemplate how excited I am for Calzaghe/Kessler. I've found a bar in my area that carries Setanta, and assuming this place will be showing the undercard fights, I'll be there early knocking back suds and watching the fights.

Of all the great stuff this fall, that's the one I'm most excited to see.

 

Revised to include yesterday's result. I wish the board software allowed you to continue editing the original post. I'm adding results to this page as I can.
