****ing awesome!!!

There will be American television coverage of Vitali Klitschko's heavyweight title defense against mandatory challenger Juan Carlos Gomez on March 21 in Stuttgart, Germany. The bout will air live on ESPN at 5 p.m. ET, ESPN boxing programming director Doug Loughrey said. Klitschko's team had been approached about putting the bout on pay-per-view in the United States, but elected to take less money for far wider exposure on ESPN.

Great idea to have this fight on ESPN. Even better its on at 5pm. I have to laugh though that they considered putting this fight on pay per view. It would hardly break 100k in the United States.

Lets hope it's a thrilling fight.

I read it's going to be on ESPN Classic, like Bell-Adamek was.

Smart play and good for boxing in general. Yes, hopefully ESPN will make a big deal about it.
