Is this the best start to a boxing year you can remeMber in a long time??

Yeah even the GGG fight is a step up fight for him.

 

Great time to be a fan.:yep Lucas-Prov, Crawford-Dulorme, Gonzalez-GRJ, GGG-Murray, Garcia-Peterson, and Mayweather-Pacquiao, of course! Anyone of these or all of these can provide for some unexpected upsets!

 

Barrera vs Morales was fought February 19th 2000. Two pound for pound greats, both in their primes, having one of the greatest wars ever. That was a great start to a year. May and Pac to past prime ATGs squaring off in the twilight of their careers, mid to late thirties, it could be nice but I'm not getting my hopes up. Was Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins fighting Joe Calzaghe in their forties great for boxing? Was Jones Jr vs Hopkins 2 in 2010 the fight everybody wanted to see?

I'm glad the fight is happening. I didn't think it would. But I'm not over the moon about it.

 

I wrote down the boxing schedule the other day. Here's the big upcoming fights.


2015 Boxing Schedule
February
21 Golovkin vs Murray
March
7 Guerero vs Thurman
7 Molina vs Broner
13 Berto vs Lopez
13 Garcia vs Porter
14 Pascal vs Kovalev
14 Cunningham vs Glazkov
21 Crawford vs TBA
21 Walters vs TBA
28 Matthysse vs Provodnikov
28 Brook vs Ion
28 Estrada vs Marquez
April
4 Stevenson vs TBA
4 Beterbiev vs TBA
4 Joshua vs TBA
11 Peterson vs Garcia
25 Klitschko vs Jennings
May
2 Alvarez vs Kirkland
16 Golovkin vs TBA

 

Maybe, he's in negotiations with GGG for May? GGG has a TBA slot there. Cotto needs to fight someone by then or be stripped of the title.

 

I was pumped back in 2002. Barrera/Morales II, Lewis/Tyson, and De La Hoya/Vargas were scheduled for the early part of that year. They all got postponed for various reasons, though.

This year looks pretty awesome so far.
