Starting Feb 9th, SEVEN straight Saturday nights where there are good fights. I love it too, usually 10 PM starts, I got plenty of time to get all my shit done, get the kid to bed, and relax with a couple cocktails before the coverage even comes on.

When you have kids, there's a big difference between trying to watch Cavs/Lakers on Sunday afternoon and balance dinner, a wild toddler, and a wife .... and being able to chill out alone, and in peace, with an hour before the coverage starts to whisper sweet nothings in the ear of a sixer of Great Lakes.

Pavlik/Taylor, Vasquez/Marquez, and Marquez/Pacquiao are all rematches of some of the best fights of the last decade, all of them featuring top ten pound for pound kinda guys.

Add to the mix, February is a weak sports month. Cavs and college hoops. That's it.

I love boxing.
