Boxing's revival continues into 2008...

Juan Diaz v Katsidis
Set for 26 Jan in Houston. Can you imagine the action & intensity in this one? Nice but same night as Pavlik v Taylor & Povetkin v Chambers.
(Why can't we have good boxing week after week instead of piled up like this?)

Pacquiao v Marquez II
Set for 15 March. I thought that Bob Arum might have got tired of having to profit share with Oscar but i'm very pleased that this is happening before Pac goes up in weight.



Also there's Klitschko v Ibragimov, Peter v Maskaev, Vazquez v Marquez 3, Williams Cintron, De La Hoya v Hatton or Cotto to look forward to.

Thought Pavlik v Taylor was 16h Feb? I hope this is true 'cos it won't be near Valentines day and I might go.

Not sure if it's a boxing revival. I think boxing's been pretty strong since around late 2004. The first half of this year dipped in quality a fair bit, but we picked up the last few months.
