Reply #1: An interesting fight. [View All]

It's hard to say which way this fight will go. On one hand you have Lacy with his huge punching power, and on the other hand you have Calzaghe's experience in the ring and experience in title fights, not to mention home field advantage.

I agree that ESPN has increased the quality of their fights. It seems that they are going the route of SHOBox, profiling major prospects against not as well known prospects, with an occasional title fight now and then. HBO has a fire lit under it with the rise of Showtime's Championship Boxing shows. Showtime has done a great job with their show, and the idea of having a fight on the 1st Saturday of every month is a great idea. HBO need to so something like that.

I got ahold of some Terry Norris fights and I'll tell you, he was awesome. His execution of Meldrick Taylor was beautiful and brutal at the same time. HBO would have one believe that Chavez ended Taylor' career. That is plain wrong, Terry Norris ended Taylor's career. I've got to find more of him.

I'm getting irritated with Antonio Tarver. He seems more interested in fighting boxing's senior circuit than going after any deserving Light-Heavyweights. He is going to fight Bernard Hopkins later this year and yet he has shown no inclination to fight Glen Johnson, Fabrice Tiozzo, Zsolt Erdei, or Tomaz Adameck. All of those fighters are worthy of Tarver's time, yet Tarver is going to fight Hopkins and had mention wanting to fight Roy Jones a fourth time. This is the light-heavyweight champion of the world?
