Not from the article, but the Wii version of Punch Out is supposed to be coming out soon. Hopefully they can make the controls somewhat like real boxing. Wii boxing was horribly inconsistent to control, and Prizefighter doesn't make use of the Wii motion controls at all from what I've heard.

This article (in Spanish) mentions that Margarito-Mosley might not actually be on ice. The article actually says that the fight has already been agreed to for January 24, although I wouldn't get too excited until I see it reported elsewhere. It says that HBO has agreed to kick in more money, and Margarito will accept if they do so. It also says that part of the deal is that Margo will rematch Cotto in June if he beats Mosley in this fight.

I'm not holding my breath, but it seems like an interesting possibility. I'm not too sure HBO would actually increase their offer in this market though. They already offered $4 million for the fight, which already seemed to be on the high end, and Margarito might be talking before he's actually gotten confirmation of an increased offer from HBO brass.

In Dan Rafael's latest blog entry, he notes that some potentially interesting matchups are being discussed, including Juan Manuel Marquez-Juan Diaz (with a possible Marquez-Barrera rematch if that falls through) and Jermain Taylor-Lucian Bute. He also mentions that Berto-Mosley seems unlikely (not enough extra $$ for the risk of fighting Mosley instead of Collazo, plus he'd have to vacate his belt) and that Tarver actually did not have a rematch clause for the Dawson fight.

Whoa, an actual navigable webpage! The last one looked like it was created by an 11-year old on Geocities back in 1996.

The way things are going, pretty soon there won't be any boxing shows left on basic cable.

I don't know that this should be a title fight, but it's an intriguing matchup of two up-and-comers for a paper title. Ahmet Oner has intimated that he'll make this fight happen, and if for some reason it falls through, Cristobal Cruz has offered a title shot to Gamboa.

The fight, as well as the rest of the card -- which was to have been Saturday in Bamberg, Germany -- has been rescheduled for Nov. 8, also in Bamberg, organizers said.

Definitely psyched I've got a Nintendo Wii for this!

Joseph Agbeko trains in Africa, instead of New York, where he lives, contracts malaria, has to cancel mandatory fight. He's now gone a full year between fights since winning a belt.

At least partially filling the void now that Pacqiao, Marquez, and Guzman have moved up from that division.
