Then watch HBO, this Saturday, at 10:30 EST. Vernon Forrest vs. Ricardo Mayorga II. Tons of action here. Mayorga is the cocky guy, lots of pucnhes thrown, tons of power. Forrest was ranked just last year as one of the top five lb. for lb. in boxing, before losing to the big puching Mayorga. Look for Mayorga to lite up a cigarette on the way in the ring, and if he wins. Forrest is also quite active, this will be a good fight.
On the undercard, Zab Judah begins his comeback after a disastourous loss. This kid has skills, but he's stepping up against a live opponent, in DeMarcus Corley. Lots of puches thrown here, too.
Yes, doc, boxing is easy to slam cause the heavyweight division blows. It's just disgraceful. But boxing is healthy in the lower classes with great stars. Look, just a few months ago was Ward/Gatti III, called by boxing critics one of the greatest ever. And that Lewis/Klitchko will be a blockbuster this fall.
