Outside of Berto-Mosley, HBO's schedule for 2009 looks really weak.

    Richie Boy Promotions = ATG.

      He probably will get a shot though after Pascal due to no other serious challenges at this time at LHW.

          I think its a pretty good schedule given we're 2 weeks into 2010.

          Give it time, Pac-Clottey looks like it'll be a good fight too.

            We are getting into an era to where it seems boxing is on HBO once a month or every other month.

              Miguel Cotto vs. Yuri Foreman. So after losing to a smaller guy Cotto is gonna get a shot at a title at a higher weight? Good ole Paco at his best.

              Gamboa vs. Mtwaga. Doesn't get my blood pumping.

              Roy Jones vs. Bernard Hopkins II. No explanation needed.

              Amir Khan will get matched up softly. Count on it.

              Victor Ortiz will get recycled again probably as will Rocky Juarez.

              Alexander vs. Urango is an okay fight. But I think Maidana is better than Urango. Once again. Who cares?

              Juan Ma vs. Luevano. Arum protecting Juan Ma's chin after he got his bell rung against Mtwaga at the end of that fight.

              Who's Floyd gonna fight?

              Pacquiao vs. Clottey. Can't complain too much but it belongs on regular HBO and I think Bradley would be a tougher challenge for Manny because of his willingness to let his hands go.

              All in all, I'll bet these writers like Thomas Hauser will express his disdain about HBO's schedule and we probably should too.
              People need to listen to me because I can predict these kind of things from a mile away.

                too slow, no defense... typical puncher's chance, but not much more

                  SHO has been owning HBO and it looks like they will keep it rolling in 2010. HBO still has a big budget so you will get some more big fights but if you want quantity and quality SHO is a must!

                    Forgot to mention you will probably get Hatton V Marquez and Pavlik V Williams and maybe Pavlik V Martinez by years end. Haye V Hop, Guerrero will fight on the network, you just gotta give it time because HBO will step it up. I still say SHO is where it's at. Can't wait for Valero/Demarco, Vazquez/Marquez, Super 6, and Tim Bradley.

                      Yeah, the Super Six gives them a huge edge.
