Agreed...there are a lot of good matches coming up...but Oscar & Floyd did do a lot for the sport.
It did, no doubt about that. Matter of fact, I was pretty shocked when I saw the full page Sports Illustrated cover on the upcoming Oscar-Floyd fight a week before the fight. Happy, but shocked. As with other media, SI has a lot of clout. If they decided to put the upcoming fight on the front cover, all the better for us boxing fans. The fight was good. Not the best fight I've ever seen, but good. If in some way, this makes boxing more popular, fantastic.

By the way, the SI article following the fight was what I would call "mixed reviews." The writer seemed to have the same opinion. Good enough fight...... good for boxing...... could've been better. For pure boxing action, I'm kinda hoping the Pavlik-Miranda and Cotto-Judah fights are much more entertaining, tho.

Good to see you around again, wack. CC back.
