japenese card looks great... the holyfield fight would be fun nothing more than that

 

:good

Got a couple career sets myself that I haven't sat down and watched yet, looking forward to it. December was almost TOO busy for me, boxing-wise. Blasphemy, I know, but it's true... my gf was starting to get pissed off until I told her "January is slow!".

 

Who cares, we got college bowl games, the end of the NFL season, and the NBA getting into full gear.

A break is fine.

 

Happens every year, apparently boxing fans can't watch fights during the holidays or even during the worthless winter Olympics.

Lame.

 

:deal

 

Nice.

What you got?

 

It's not that bad, remember it's post holidays.

- Stieglitz-Miranda to start the year
- the Japanese card looks promising, both Poonsawat-Hosono and Salgado-Uchiyama are high quality fights
- There's the double knockdown rematch of Samuels-Renda lol
- Clottey-Rosales as Top Rank/FOX Espanol's debut show
- Gamboa-Mtagwa and Luevano-Lopez on the 23th
- Kubrat Pulev (4-0) fights Oleg Platov (28-1) & Helenius (10-0) faces Brewster (35-5) in Germany
- Mosley-Berto and Johnson-Mack on HBO

Not the busy month we used to, but it's still a lot of fun.

 

A decent card can cap off a great week. Its a shame that they couldnt get some nice cards going. 2010 overall should be a pretty good year in the fight game.:rasta

 

It's never slow for boxing if you watch some old fights. I have so many windows of youtube fights below my screen I haven't watch yet so January will help me see them all.
