    :scaredas:

    So let's tally up. We've got:

    An all top-20 welterweight tripleheader on HBO

    Jones-Hanshaw on PPV

    Krasniqi-Thompson on German TV/the World Wide Web

    Jirov-Craven on small-time PPV

    and now, apparently, the same folks behind tonight's Mijares PPV from Mexico are putting another $20 PPV card up against all the other Saturday night fights, live from Ireland and headlined by John Duddy.

    All we need is Showtime to wrangle together an 11th hour event and 7-14 would officially become the most overbooked day in the sport. :yep

    Ya, it's crazy. I'm just gonna go to the local bar and watch whatever they're showing. Not interested in paying for anything that's gonna be on, but I want to see it. I'll pay for Hopkins-Wright next weekend so I can watch it and score it in peace and quiet.

    To be honest with you, no single fight has me that excited. It's just the overwhelming quantity of decent fights that makes tomorrow night so impressive on paper.

    The HBO card is very solid, but none of those individual fights are, on their own really that strong. Very hyped prospect vs. overrated titlist. Ruined former champ vs. reality show reject. Cintron-Matthyse isn't the greatest fight imaginable, but could end up being the sleeper hit for HBO, I predict it will be the best fight of the evening for them.

    Hanshaw will probably steamroll Jones, barring divine intervention. I don't even see Roy as a legit challenge at this point. If someone on here provides a link I may check em out after the important fights are done.

    I won't be going out of my way to watch Krasniqi-Thompson, Jirov-Craven, or Duddy-Furlan:)?). If someone provides a vid link on here I may check em out after the important stuff is over.

    In Mexico the Mijares fight is in National Tv, also the fight of Fernando Montiel versus Santos.

    That's okay, $20 won't break the bank. I know I'll be seeing an action fight anyway.

    Wiliiams vs Margarito is a very significant fight; I think its premier fight in welterweight division this year unless PBf fights Hatton or Cotto later in the year. To me this fight is more significant than Cotto-JUdah, I think either Williams or Margarito would beat Cotto or Judah.

    It is in terms of probable excitement, but people are overstressing its importance. If Margarito beats Williams, then we know Paul just wasn't ready to step up to B- competition. If Williams beats Margarito, okay great he beat a B- strapholder. Neither one of them is going to catapult to the top of the rankings just for beating the other.
