Here's something I think we all can agree with. Boxing returns to network television this Saturday on CBS and next Saturday on NBC.

Doesn't ESPN still do Wednesday/Friday Night Fights during late spring/summer? I used to watch that show every week. Anyways, I'm glad that boxing is going for more exposure on the networks. Even though I don't watch boxing as much as I used to, I am still a fan of the sport, and I think it needs as much air time in the US as possible.

And I am going to miss Larry Merchant, even though I think he probably should've stepped down 5 years ago.

ESPN 2 still have Friday Night Fights. They had a card last week leading up to the Pac/Marquez fight.

I'm glad boxing is returning to network TV also, but I hope they have some good fights AND fighters. I don't want to see just journeymen fighters or fighters that will never amount to nothing. I want to occasionally see the next big thing. In other words, don't become ESPN 2 Friday Night Fights.

this should make you happy DM:

Canelo Alvarez said tonight on his official Facebook page that a May 4 fight with Floyd Mayweather is "close," meaning that we could be seeing what is now arguably boxing's biggest-money fight come to life on what has become the biggest fight date in the sport annually.

Mayweather (43-0, 26 KO) recently announced intentions to fight on May 4 and September 14 next year, but it was also no secret that Alvarez (41-0-1 30 KO) and Golden Boy wanted that date for the 22-year-old Mexican phenom, whose popularity has soared over the last couple of years.

Wow, Donaire didn't even rate a couple of comments at fight time? Another spectacular knockout but he's so superior to most of his competition that we expect that now I guess.

Donnaire sent Arce into retirement, lol. I want to see him against Abner Mares or Riggendeaux.


Khan beat up on a souped up lightweight last night in Carlos Molina. Khan probably gained some confidence, but he still has a lot of the same flaws. Molina, despite not having any power, rocked Khan a few times. Khan's handspeed can be so alluring but its wasted on him.

Deontay Wilder dropped a crucial right hook that KO'd Kelvin Price in a HW fight. 26 KOs in his 26 fights is impressive, but he needs to fight someone better.

And Alfredo Angulo vs. Jorge Silva was such a brutal slugfest. When Angulo is ripping his punches, they make me wince, but Silva stood up to him. Showed a lot of heart.

Arce was tailor-made to make Donaire look his very best, that was never going to be contest.

Mares fight won't happen because of Top Rank/Golden Boy fued. No excuse for the Rigondeaux fight not to be made, both are Top Rank fighters. That's one of the fights I most want to see in boxing. I think Rigondeaux would give him a serious run.

Deontay Wilder dropped a crucial right hook that KO'd Kelvin Price in a HW fight. 26 KOs in his 26 fights is impressive, but he needs to fight someone better.

He had such a limited amateur career that I'm not exactly mad about how they're moving him along. He's incredibly flawed, but that right hand is special.

And Alfredo Angulo vs. Jorge Silva was such a brutal slugfest. When Angulo is ripping his punches, they make me wince, but Silva stood up to him. Showed a lot of heart.

One of my tweets about that fight made it on the broadcast, I'm big time now.

Angulo was lucky that boy wasn't a real 154lb'er or a puncher. He hit Angulo clean and hard several times. Angulo is what he is, put him in with somebody who can punch, he likely gets stopped again.

haha, props.

Yeah, I dont rate Angulo highly at all, but he is such a hard puncher.

Floyd Mayweather vs Robert Guerrero Almost a Done Deal.

Not looking foward to this one.

A lot of speculation but we'll never be 100% sure til Mayweather's side makes an official announcement.

Guerrero is depending on God to help him beat Mayweather. And they want people to actually buy this fight?

I would forgive a ton of boxing's sins if we could get Lucas Matthysse vs. Brandon Rios sometime in the next year or two.

[DM72]

Isn't Mosley rumored to be fighting Matthysse next?

No, he's rumored to fight Malignaggi.
