If I count correctly that is 9 title fights in the week. The 1st far takes out the 15th. Though we may not see it, im crossing my fingers it will be on PPV, The Julio fight could be the best fight of the month. Dzindziruk and Julio are legit fighters in the prime of their career.

ggurtin, there are indeed some good fights on the 1st but I'm not sure it outweighs the 11th -15th, where you've got Glen Jones, Miranda, Taylor, Lacy, Cintron, Haye, Shaun George, Bika, Manfredo, and Codrington.

Either way, maybe we can agree that the 11/1-11/15 will be the best 15 days of boxing in 2008!

Plus I think you are overrating Julio a bit; Ishe Smith showed that he could be easily beaten by a good boxer with a half decent workrate (Smith is the 1st, but not the latter).

That said it will probably be a good fight. Julio is a legit puncher, I'll give you that.

That's a good week.

oh ****! the Swamp Donkey is fighting! Ive seen him before. awesome nickname.

yea, thats a great week for boxing. I just hope that I can watch fights like Dimitrenko-Krasniqi and Diaconu-Branco. why in the hell would they put three of those boxing events on one day and on seperate cards. ug, it would be so much nicer if they actually just tried to put them all together, but I guess thats impossible. meh.

its about time that Brewer and Codrington started fighting again. that Versus card looks fun. and the free HBO card looks pretty stacked too, but chances are they wont show all the fights and spend 30+ minutes on ring entrances, introductions and national anthems instead. thanks a lot.
