TV Azteca to start new boxing series

[Ghost Kid]

Good news guys.

picking up the broken pieces of Telefutura Solo Boxeo.

A new TV Azteca boxing series will begin on January 17th. They will do about 45 shows in conjuction with Top Rank and Fernando Beltran.

Hopefully the quality will be better than some of those Ty Fields Vs. cards Arum put on.

But more boxing=more potential earnings !

The first show of the new series:

"Featherweight contender Orlando Salido and former lightweight champ Jose Luis Castillo are supposed to be in separate bouts on Jan. 17 in Hermosillo, Mexico."

WTF?!!?!?! Jose Luis Castillo? Against who? a dead body?

I'll take the dead body.

"Interim junior flyweight titleholder Cesar Canchila faces Giovanni Segura in a rematch on Feb. 28 in Toluca, Mexico."

NOW THAT'S A GOOD ONE !

"This is our first wave," Arum said. "We're going to have another series that I am not telling anybody details about yet. We're going to have maybe two times the number of shows in '09 that we had in '08. We had about 45 in '08. We may have 75 or more [in '09]."

In other news (from fightnews):

"It appears that veteran blow-by-blow man Steve Albert, who has been at ringside for SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING since 1987, will not return in 2009. Reportedly the new man behind the mike will be Gus Johnson, well known for doing NCAA basketball and NFL football on CBS as well as NBA basketball for the New York Knicks. An official announcement is expected shortly."

Isn't this the cat who was screaming about Petruzelli over Kimbo being the "most improbable, incredible, inconcievable victory in the history of MMA !"
