Been to some, Toney vs Peter was the last one
If you can go, do so when the crowd gets going its great, plus you can always see plenty of hot chicks

Here's a good article on the state of boxing.

Thanks for the acticle. Anyone been watching The Contender Challenge? Its been decent so far, Im glad they are showing the entire fights instead of the highlights they were showing during the last 2 seasons.

The Curiel fight was pretty good. It's kinda hard to watch fights that aren't live though.

The Alfonso Gomez fight was pretty entertaining. The Cruiel fight was decent, he just got off a lucky shot though. There was no way he wouldve won that fight had the Euro guy made it out of the round. I guess thats what makes boxing fun to watch though...

Antonio Margarito vs. Paul Williams at the Home Depot Center on July 14. Anyboby else thinking of going?

Hey ASU. Any idea who Manny wants to face in his next fight? I'm hoping it will be Humberto Soto. I'd love to see him avenge his brother.

That's going to be a hell of a fight. Right now, my money's on Williams and his long, long jab.
