This should be a good fight. It's about to get under way.

Are you gonna watch Dave?

The overhand left by DeGale in the 2nd was brutal. I'm surprised Dirrell survived that round.

Shoot. I never even knew it was on.

James DeGale could be a world beater

Was it much of a fight?

Yes, it was. The scorecard was actually close. The deciding factor was probably him knocking his opponent to the canvas twice in the 2nd.

It was for the IBF belt I believe. He became the first Brit to win Olympic gold and a major belt.

Shoot. I recorded the undercard, but not the main event. Oh well. I still have another 6 to 7 fights to catch up on tonight.

I love that boxing is on the local and other networks now, but it is taking up a ton of time to watch them all.

That weight division had some really good Brits - Kell brook could be huge.

I remember seeing Kell fight. I can't remember who, but it was decent name. I think he won.

Don't know much about him. I'm really looking for GGG to step it up in competition.

I like broner as well even though he punked out vs midana. But his last fight was brutal. His next vs porter should be good.

Is this the weight division Golovkin fights in?

GGG fights in the division right below Brooks. Not to say that one can't go up or down though.

The talk in the UK is Carl froch wants at least one fight in Vegas before retiring and it looks like it is going to be golovkin

Froch is a warrior - this would make an awesome fight.

Wasn't Roy jones Jr supposed to fight him as long as Roy won his last 3 fights?

I hope Roy doesn't fight again. I prefer to remember the way he was in the 90's. He was the best fighter I have ever seen when he was in his prime.

One more fight! One more fight!

I agree about seeing people past their prime, but look at benard hopkins. I think he might have one fight in him, but he should have been done a good 5 years ago.

switching topics a little...it was sad that Friday night fights is gone. I know espn will have some of the PBC fights, but it's not the same. I remember Tuesday night fights on USA.

Espn Friday Night Fights with Teddy Atlas and Bob Papa. I think the second guy is Papa. It's been on every friday during the football off season for the last 17 years. They always had mid level guys and some gals, a few bigger names and a lot of debuts.
