    It's been a long, cold winter but boxing is back in a big way. Bradley vs. Provodnikov was a perfect kick start to 2013 and for the next few weeks, we should be loving life.

    Here's a sample of things ahead, please add any I miss.

    Saturday March 30
    GGG vs. Ishida. The main event isn't that great, but the undercard fight between Edwin Rodriguez and Ezequiel Osvaldo Maderna as well as an appearance by Rabchenko make this a pretty solid card.

    Tony Bellew vs. Isaac Chilemba should draw plenty of interest in the UK.

    Brandon Rios vs. Mike Alvarado II. A rematch of the best fight I've ever attended live. Even if Alvarado tries to box early, this eventually turns into a slugfest.

    Saturday April 13
    Nonito Donare vs. Guillermo Rigondeaux. About as much skill as you can fit in a ring. A huge fight between two little guys.

    Saturday April 20
    Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs. Austin Trout. Easily one of the most anticipated bouts of the year. Somebody takes a huge step to starhood.

    Tyson Fury vs. Steve Cunningham. A UK vs. USA heavyweight bout from the Mecca of boxing, Madison Square Garden.

    Victor Terrazas vs. Christian Mijares headlines a solid action card in Mexico that also has Vic Darchinian on it.

    Saturday April 27
    Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez vs. Martin Murray and Luis Abregu vs. Antonin Decarie in a card from Argentina. I'm expecting a loud, fun crowd.

    Amir Khan returns against Julio Diaz

    Cristobal Arreola finally takes on Bermane Stiverne

    Zab Judah vs. Danny Garcia headlines a great card from Brooklyn also featuring Peter Quillin vs. Fernando Guerrero and Daniel Jacobs continuing his fight back from cancer.

    Saturday May 4
    Floyd Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero. Floyd will grab the headlines, but Abner Mares vs. Daniel Ponce De Leon is the fight that has fans most excited. Also J'deon Love against the always game Gabriel Rosado.

    GGG vs Ishida :good
    Rios vs Alvarado II :scaredas:
    Donaire vs Rigondeux :deal
    Canelo vs Trout :scaredas:
    Arreola vs Stiverne :good
    Judah vs Garcia :guitar
    $May vs Ghost :guitar!!

    All those are top shelf IMO for one reason or the other, and a lot of the rest of those are worth not missing for sure.

    Sorry to get off topic in your thread Jeff, but ol' boys avatar here has me thinking of what I saw in the new Ring Mag had me crackin' up.

    Already HBO had that graphic of the MW players and everybody on there had their "mean" face on...but GGG who was cheezing ear to ear :lol:

    But in this months Ring there's a deal called "Fighters Favorites". It has 3 fighters listed: Paulie M., Thomas Oosthuizen, and of course GGG

    Both Paulie and Thomas lists are long, like a good paragraph, but here's GGG's:

    Music: Micheal Jackson :)lol:)
    Car: Mercedes Benz
    Food: Meat :)rofl)
    Tattoos: none
    Athlete: Micheal Phelps :)p)
    Movie: Apocalypto
    Video Game: Mario Bros and Tanks :)lol::rofl:lol::p)

    That may not seem so funny unless you seen the big ass lists given by the other two......Plus, what does he have, an Atari and reg Nintendo?? :p The **** is gold, kind'a...

    That's true. He is definitely "different" from the "usual". Hell of a fighter :yep





    You just have to see the other guys picking X-Box360 and stuff, and GGG says "Tanks" :lol: Awesome haha

    Another great fight. It's two weeks after Mayweather and the undercard has Lamont Peterson vs. LMM. That's a great card.

    That list is awesome, how many fighters you know of that can crack like Golovkin yet keep it simple. Seems like a guy who just wants to fight. GGG really is good boy ! Next couple months are looking strong for sure though, especially this Sat. night. Sorry I fell off topic.

    Didn't someone make a thread last week about how it was shaping up to be a terrible year for boxing?

    :lol:

    Probably. Fight fans love to complain.

    My list only covers fights that are immediately on tap. We still have Froch/Kessler 2 and a host of others lined up over the summer.
