    4/16 ESPN:
    Heavyweights Tony Thompson (33-2) vs Owen Beck (29-4)
    Tyrese Hendricks (18-0-1) vs Hank Lundy (17-0-1) Undefeated Prospects

    4/16 Showtime:
    Middleweights Fernando Guererro (17-0) vs Mike Walker (19-3-2)
    Jr. Middleweights Shawn Porter (13-0) vs Paul Pinzon (17-4)

    4/17 HBO:
    Middleweights Kelly Pavlik (36-1) vs Sergio Martinez (44-2-2)
    Super Middleweights Lucian Bute (25-0) vs Edison Miranda (33-4)

    Also on the on the Pavlik undercard is Undefeated Mike Jones (20-0) vs Hector Munoz (18-2).

    I'll watch them all, but far more excited for the Showtime Card...Just so I can hear a real, exciting, enthusiastic "insightful" Broadcast Team of Gus Johnson, Al Bernstein and Antonio Tarver. I can't take another night of Steward and Merchant again...And I damn sure don't wanna listen to Max "***german".

    I'll be watching the hbo double header for sure. It looks like it won't go to distance also. I can't see martinez taking pavlik's power for 12 rounds and you know bute and miranda will hit each other until somebody goes down and out.

    Great weekends for boxing fans:good

    They all look like mismatches on paper to me except for Martinez/Pavlik and that one could be a mismatch too.

    How is Gus Johnson insightful? He's a basketball guy

    This is going to be a bittersweet weekend for me, great boxing and should be some entertaining fights between bute/miranda and pavlik/martinez, but im a miranda fan and i reckon im not going to be happy at the end of that fight, and ive picked pavlik to win in the prediction thread and i have a feeling im cruising for a loss on that one due to pavliks recent inactivity, bad matchup, ect, ect. Ugh.... this could be a bad weekend for me :-( But yes im looking forward to the fights....

    Gus, and Al probably won't announce though. Nick Charles and Steve Farhood, and sometimes Tarver do the ShoBox telecasts.

    I do agree with you though the HBO team is crap now. Lampley sounds bitter, Merchant is getting old, and Steward is well, Steward. I do like Kellerman though when he is announcing. Asking questions though, not so much. Bob Papa is good too.
