    What a great time to be a boxing fan. Coming on the heels of a packed Spring schedule, Summer is kicking off with a bang.

    Saturday, May 18th.
    Lucas Matthysse vs. Lamont Peterson

    Saturday, May 25th
    Carl Froch vs. Mikkel Kessler II

    Saturday, June 8
    Marcos Maidana vs. Josesito Lopez

    Any of these can challenge current FOTY leader Bradley/Provodnikov. Plus, we have Bellew vs. Chilemba and GGG vs. Macklin on the calendar.

    Which fight(s) are you most looking forward to? How do you see these going?

    I like Segura. He's never in a bad fight.

    Is this being televised?

    Great shout Jeff, but the Bellew re-match will bore the pants off of us!

    I'll be there live, shadow boxing furiously in preparation for Froch vs Kessler

    That should be a great atmosphere. I'm a bit jealous.

    I'll be at Maidana/Lopez. I imagine it will be about as electric as Rios/Alvarado 1. It's the same venue.

    Maidana-Lopez I suspect has the best chance to be a FOTY type fight. They're all great, exciting fights. I'm stoked for those first two.

    Huck-Afolabi will also be a very good fight.

    Maidana has to be a legitimate favorite, but I'll be rooting for Lopez.

    Lucas KOs Peterson

    Kessler beats Froch again

    Maidana KOs Lopez

    Maidana's fight has the highest chance of becoming FOTY

    When I went to Froch vs Bute, I threw more punches than Bute did :lol:

    I'd like to be on TV, so look out for the bloke shadow Boxing in the lime green suit with a yellow tie...

    Why did you mention Bellew v Chillemba. Pacquiao v Rios will be good later this year, Huck v Afolabi as well

    Berto-Soto Karass should be another great scrap


    Also, look out for Keith Thurman(85% KO rate) vs Diego Chaves(81% KO rate) on the undercard. Great upcoming schedule from Showtime.
