last week it was listed as being in Madison Square Garden, i wonder why they chose canada? box rec is listing the fight in canada, thats wack. I was looking forward to this one in NYC.

I hope it's correct - I'll get a chance to meet the HBO crew!

I can't believe there's a HBO fight I can actually go to without buying a plane ticket though, it's too good to be true.

It says Vancouver, not one of our suburbs like Richmond or Coquitlam. That means it will likely be at a very nice downtown venue like BC Place or GM Place.

I just read it may be at GM Place.

GM Place has nearly 20,000 seats, so they will not fill it for sure. But it's a nice environment for a HBO broadcast.

I wish they would put the fight in Niagara Falls so i could just take a 20minute drive to get there

canada, wtf?!? i was about to get tickets to that **** at msg. this is bull****. i would have repped collazo hard, cheering from good seats so that those blind judges would know who was winning the fight this time around. lord knows it will be hard enough for collazo to win a decision with dibella and haymon having berto's back. its the same backing that stole the win from hopkins in the first taylor fight....
