Bad Left Hook, Global Boxing News and Commentary

Marquez, Ward, Froch and Katsidis make this a great weekend for boxing fans.

Shane Mosley hopes to rebound after "the loss".

I encourage everyone to read it this week, as it's filled will all kinds of great material (some of which I may write on independently, once I get the time). Most interesting tidbits: Michael Katsidis may face Robert Guerrero on BAD on March 27; on April 17, a Pavlik-Martinez / Bute-Miranda doubleheader looks likely; and promoters are working on a Darchinyan-Donaire rematch. In his blog, Rafael also mentions the possibility of a Andre Berto-Paulie Malignaggi Haiti benefit fight, Timothy Bradley-Marcos Maidana, and Zab Judah-Carlos Quintana or Victor Cayo.

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.
