bami-branco is an interesting one.

Looks pretty good.

Hennessy has some decent pulling power now with Froch who is looking at big fights and also Witter who will hopefully get some higher quality defences of his title in.

Don't exactly see them pushing the boat out on 07, yet. Not for millions they get in licence fees - seems the boxing fans cash is going to footie and cricket as per usual.

Where was the last Pacman fight? Toney/Peters?

The Hatton bill is PPV ( cough cough ) that'll be an extra 15 squid please, and the Italian bill is showing free on RAI TV anyways.

bah humbug

Is Mosley-Collazo signed? There is alot of talk of it being Kemit Cintron facing Sugar Shane instead on February 11.

While it's great to see that much boxing on the schedule, the quality of the matches are, for the most part, pretty poor. Although I suppose that's not really Sky's fault in every case. Fingers crossed for some decent undercards.

Well the boxrec schedule actually has it down as Mosley - Cintron with the title on the line, which is even better if they still go ahead and show it.

The thing that appeals to me is that there is some nice evenly matched fights on the schedule, unlike the ITV one which currently shows Audley and Khan both v TBA's and Joe v Manfredo, all of which we know the result before theyve even stepped into the ring.
