Calendar of Major Boxing Events for the rest of 2013

What? :yep It's his name.

 

Cotto is becoming a real slut.

I'm reading Michael Oliveira (the guy a rusty, fat Popo Freitas emerged from a five year retirement climbing twenty pounds north of his last competing weight to knock out) is even in the mix. atsch

 

:blood Odd choice.

This is exactly the sort of long sought-after match-up many say will help revive both the US boxing scene and the heavyweight picture (the nexus of which is thought capable of producing that holy grail meant to reinvigorate the sport and return it to glory: that most elusory cryptid, the great American hope...)

You have two young skilled unbeaten guys combining for better than a 2/3 KO quotient, putting it all on the line.

How is that not more than eminently suitable for broadcast?

If they only wanted to show a doubleheader with the pair of world title bouts, fine - but that isn't what's going to happen. They're going to blacklist Ruiz Jr. vs. Hanks and instead treat us to six rounds of Zou Shiming feather-dusting some agave-breathed nobody whose airfare will have eclipsed his entire sum career purses to date. :-(

 

Yeah. :verysad

They're making Showtime & GBP look awesome in comparison.


...and yeah, it appears that Hanks vs. Ruiz Jr. will be the Solo Boxeo main event...on like twelve hour tape delay! atsch
