Never liked the set up of the timing of the deal deal nor the match up of the champions. However one of the overlooked fine middleweight competition Saturday night from Koeln , Germany, between Felix Sturm and this fellow Lorenzo, promises to be quite an affair. Felix's return to the ring after a 14 months hiatus should tell us quite a bit about this champion. My take on the bout: Felix's speed, slick defense and effective offense will be too much for his opponent. It will be a tough bout to be sure, and certainly not a walk through the park for Sturm, as Lorenzo, as far as I am aware, is a devoted, ambitious and well schooled boxer/puncher who takes his craft seriously. Prediction: Felix either by TKO in the earlier rounds, should however the fight go the distance, it'll be a unanimous decision for the champ. Cheers Dietrich Yo William :

Hmmm...I guess I could have my own personal Twitter account so I could keep you updated on my every movement and thought.....NOW THAT'S UNPROFESSIONAL!! …Some people say I’m obnoxious and lazy I’m uneducated–my opinion means nothin’… Don’t confuse the problem with the issue It’s perfectly clear….

And let us not forget this guy is SHOWING UP IN TOP SHAPE! Why? Because he takes his career seriously. Tomasz's work ethic is without question and he should be embraced from sea to shing sea!! As long as the Klitschko's have a strangle hold on The heavies it's going to be tough to get a belt, but that won't stop Adamek from his quest and I applaud the Polish Warrior for the strides he has made.

What I like about Adamek is that he stays in the fight. He is willing to take the punches, and at the same time he is answering those blows. Do I think he will hold the title some day? I really don't know. But for me, he has brought back some excitement to a division that had left me cold. Tim Bill,

I can't believe this didn't land on HBO but thats Golden Boy for you. Plus the main event and undercard should both have great fights. It seems lately that the either the undercard is good and the main event is a dud fight or the other way around. I hope more big fights would have undercards like this. Lets go Victor and David Go OXNARD and get Margarito outta here. yeah 49 dollars for the pay per view is stupid. I can’t believe this didn’t land on HBO but thats Golden Boy for you.

But expecting people to shell out 49 bucks for PPV is a just wrong. This weekends fight put on by Main Events was $29.99, that was a great price and more promoters should follow suit. I don't want to hear about buying a case of Tecate and get a refund on the PPV either. A close friend of mine did that a few months back and still has not been reimbursed. Yes Jeff,
