from steve kim's twitter:
"April 17th on Showtime, Super 6 doubleheader: AWard-JTaylor and CFroch-MKessler. Ward could be at the Oracle again, Froch-Kess in Denmark"
Why does Ward get to fight at home AGAIN? Doesn't poor Jermaine have enough going against him already? Damn, give the dude a break. They are building a sad demise here for Taylor.

Denis Lebedev 197.8 vs Ali Ismailov 195
(WBO cruiserweight championship)
http://fightnews.com/wp-content/uploads/20091216fhudif003a.jpg
Lines anyone?
Looks like we probably won't get odds on two fights I was hoping for:
Lebedev vs. Ismailov and Mormeck vs. Maddalone.
Mormeck should definitely get by Vinny, but I can't see him being much of a factor at heavy. Although muscular, he really wasn't all that big at cruiser. Now getting up there in age.

WBC bantamweight champ Hozumi Hasegawa (27-2, 11 KOs), Japan, will put his belt on the line for the tenth time against Nicaraguan challenger Alvaro Perez (18-1-1-3NC, 12 KOs) tomorrow (Friday) in Kobe, Japan. At the weigh-in ceremony, Hasegawa scaled in at 117.75, while Perez 117. It will be an encounter of southpaws.
Haven't seen any new lines. Hopefully and probably we'll get some today.
Any thoughts on Berto/Mos people? I think Berto is a little bit live. Saw him @+200. He doesn't possess the skills Mos has but he has youth and speed. When Berto chooses to box, he's not the easiest guy to deal with. After the fact now, but I think perhaps Margo was tailored made. Mos wasn't exactly lighting up the div prior to Margo. Mos was outboxed and out jabbed by Cotto. If Berto has the right game plan and doesn't get caught in a slugging match, he can pull this off.

I was actually thinking about this fight this morning
Shane has been off a year now....that's a LONG TIME at his age
but he is the definition of WARRIOR
I could see Berto giving Shane fits, and then Shane cracking that chin
Shane handled Collazo with ease - Berto not so much
:00x32
I think I like Berto in this one - not sure yet
I want to find out if Mosley is using any "prescribed medication" like Andre Ward and/or Tiger Woods
