    Great boxing schedule to start the year.

    Khytrov vs Aleem- 2 undefeated prospects going at it, IMO gunna be closer than most think.

    Pedraza vs Davis- A chance to see Davis step up against a good belt holder.

    Degale vs Jack- a unification involving the two most proven beltholders in the division

    Garcia vs Zlatacanin- A good fight to see if Garcia is back to where he was, Dejan is underrated there's a reason why Linares ducked him.

    Frampton vs Cruz 2- the first fight was a war and if Cruz wins might be set for a trilogy.

    What's your favourite fight?
    A lot of close match ups, anyone predicting an upset in any of these match ups.

    Well they're all top class fights, but Vargas-Berchelt is neither Showtime nor PBC

    You should put it back since you said Showtime and Al Haymon since you are talking about Showtime as well as the man. And you're absolutely right about it being a good start to the year.

    Great start to the new year I agree, hopefully they will continue to have cards like these for the rest of the year.

    I expect LSC and Gervonta to upset.

    Hope PBC will have a great year. More 50-50 fights like these pls

    Santa Cruz I could see coz the last fight was really close, don't see a Davis upset because he's not been anywhere near this level and I see holes in his game, does have punchers chance though.

    Definitely we got Garcia vs Thurman, Porter vs Berto being talked about, Broner vs Granados, Spilka vs Brazeale is decent.

    All those fights you mentioned are good fights and more importantly evenly matched. I think Al Haymon got the message from us boxing fans, with that constantly dropping in TV ratings and this year he' s not protecting anyone's 0.
    2017 should be a good one.
