    January 17 HBO card is looking good

    Andre Berto 23 - 0 - (19KO) vs Luis Collazo 29 - 3 (14KO)

    Sergio Martinez 44 - 1 (24KO) vs Joe Greene 20 - 0(14KO)



    Berto will finally get the test people have been waiting for when he faces the experienced ex title holder Luis Collazo. This will be a fight that will show what Berto is really made of and will be a nice gauge whether he is ready for the big boys at 147.

    Martinez is coming off a spectacular win against Alex Bunema on B.A.D last October, Joe Greene is undefeated and but hasn't faced anyone near the level of Martinez.

    These are the type of fights that boxing needs and HBO should put on their network more often, this along with Margarito vs Mosley makes January a nice month for boxing fans to look forward too.

    I have a feeling thats too much of a step up too quickly for Mean Joe Greene. We'll see though.

      Agreed

      I see him losing that fight likely getting stopped in the mid rounds, Greene has really questionable defense and Martinez looks like a beast.

            Edgar Santana is fighting Vivian Harris on that same day.. It won't be televised though I think.

            Go to see Joe Greene on HBO. He will be tested.

                  Yup January 24 it will be Mosley vs Margarito from the staples center, live on HBO not PPV.

                  Then in February 14 Alfredo Angulo takes on Ricardo Mayorga and Nate Campbell fights Ali Funeka. HBO is making moves in the right direction IMO.

                    Good card, props to Greene for facing Martinez and not being protected like other prospects in the division.
