January's are normally slow months and there's not a ton here, but the 1/14 Jack/DeGale unification fight is great, the 1/28 Showtime card is incredible - then you got the HBO card on the same day with Vargas making a mandatory defense and Miura on the undercard likely setting up the rematch if both make it through.

Most Definitely. He looks like a more skilled Broner. An amazing performance for the 22 yr old.

Say what you want about boxings popularity but there's no denying the talent is top notch.
Boxing's always been about stars and it'll always be fine. It's been dying since Dempsey retired.

“Take solace. Some day, many many years in the future, when all the kid games have faded into lore, people will still fight with their fists for money.” -Kid McCoy

One of my favorite quotes about boxing.

2-0-Sixx @2-0-Sixx .. are you not watching boxing anymore? Last night was full of dope fights. The HBO card was fun as hell and Frampton/LSC put on another good show with a trilogy damn near guaranteed to happen.

Of course I am, I just couldn't watch live and had to watch everything a few hours later.

The best fight by far was Miguel Berchelt vs Francisco Vargas, probably one of the best fights I've seen in a while.

Idk why but I just never am really entertained watching LSC fights. Even in these two fights which have been good I just can't get too excited. Hope though they have an immediate rematch to end the trilogy.
