Who the hell is this Sato guy Sturm is facing?
Eh… Spinks is on TV…
More thoughts later…
"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."
I was planning on doing a post on Sato but I got slammed with work
Basically, he’s a scrub who has a good pro and amateur record because he’s a SMW fighting out of Japan, and there aren’t any SMWs in Japan. He makes Carl Froch look quick.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
what’s hbo plus?
no predictions for taylor vs. froch?

HBO Plus is the Spanish HBO channel that Mexico and Latin America has. They got a deal with GBP and will air a fight each month exclusively to that channel. I am pretty sure about this given that I have asked about the channel to time warner reps.

Some satellite providers carry it, but it's primarily Latin America
Just in case someone has a package for it, figured I’d include it. Plus, I’ve heard of people finding ways to watch it once they know the fight exists. Seems like a bad time for that fight though, going up against two other bigger fights.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
do you get hbo plus? we’re practically mexico, so if you have it i should too…

Only guys worth watching are JML, Jacobs, Wilder, and Sturm.
The only fight worth really watching is Taylor-Froch but that’ll be a one-sided assault in Taylor’s favor.

Mike Perez was pulled from the cork show unfortunately. He apparently will be out injured for several months.
it certainly does
lots of good stuff to look forward to this weekend.
Both the Friday cards should be interesting enough
The Paul Appleby vs. Martin Lindsay fight should be pretty good. A lot of people have been looking forward to that one over here.
Then of course the big froch taylor fight should be damn good.
The only one i have no interest in really is the Felix Sturm show.
Nobody showing the Duddy fight. I heard very little about that fight at all. It really crept up on me.
John Duddy
I think I heard something about the John Duddy fight being streamed for free on sunday. If I can remember the site I’ll post it. They mentioned on boxing confidential radio a couple of weeks ago
