    WNF had Joe Greene in what we call a step-up test, and Joel Julio in an awful mismatch.

    So I agree boxing should become more like UFC in that regard.
    Hey KayJay, I used to know Bisping, he's from the same town I went to school in. He was an idiot. One time he threatened to beat me up. Lucky escape.

      this fight has more potential than ANY OTHER FIGHT. De la Hoya will bring the star power. Margarito will bring the pain. the fans will see a great fight and lots of punches for as long as it lasts. they will see the passing of the torch to the next generation. and imo, they will see a definitive stoppage in a brutal fashion as de la hoya takes his exit cue knowing he has always fought the best, despite his loss....
      that and mayweather vs pacquiao would be a big attraction. theres nothing for heavyweight boxing unless arreola gets his fat ass in shape enough to get to klitschkos china chin. he should try running and maybe a few situps....

                  When boxing is done right it cant be touched. Actually seems headed in the right direction with fights like Cottto v Marg and all the Lightweight fights, perhaps UFC has gave boxing the kick up the ass it needed!

                  How was Joel Julio btw?
