Following the JMM-Diaz bill, what other shows do you think us fans should lobby Setanta and Bunce to buy?
The Golden Boy lightweight tourney?
Anyone know if Guzman – Romanov on May 1st will be part of the Top Rank deal (Arum is co-promoting with Sycuan)?
Guzman is out of the IBF fight with Romanov.
I think Buncey said the tournament clashed with another fight that was on Setanta...

Guzman is out of the IBF fight with Romanov.
Already? it was only just announced. If he wasn't so good I'd give up on Guzman completely
Contrary to reports of a Joan Guzman (29-0, 17KOs) vs. Yuri Romanov (21-2, 14KOs) title bout taking place on May 1 in Las Vegas,has been informed that the IBF plans to bypass Guzman due to his administrative suspension in Mississippi.
I reported the news two weeks ago regarding the IBF‘s approval of a Guzman-Romanov bout for the lightweight title that was left vacant when Nate Campbell was unable to make weight for his mandatory defense against Ali Funeka on Feb. 14.
When the IBF approved the title bout, they [by error?] overlooked Guzman’s trouble with the Mississippi commission. Guzman’s administrative suspension stems from his inability to make weight for last September’s title bout with Nate Campbell. After Guzman was unable to make weight, Campbell agreed to fight him at a higher weight, but Guzman complained that he was feeling sick and refused to move forward with the fight.
To my knowledge, none of the other commissions are honoring Guzman’s administrative suspension from Mississippi, which makes the IBF’s decision a bit strange. At the same time the issue has not been tackled by another commission, that I know of, and the suspension could very well prevent Guzman from fighting in one state or another.

I agree.
I wish he'd get his act together. He should be in the ring mixing it with the Pacmans and JMMs of this world.
A great talent but he's running out of time.

I wouldn't mind seeing Vit Klit beat up Gomez, the lightweight tourney, Holt vs Bradley or Williams vs Winky
Any of these

Guzman has now missed out on fights with Harrison, Campbell and Romanov??? Wow, what a way to reduce the value of your record. Those three names could really catapult him given the circumstances i.e. winning belts.

Williams vs Winky is the only non Top Rank fight i can think off

How about giving (future) Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World; Audley 'A-Force' Harrison a ten fight, in house deal with Setanta? :think Given his incredible talent and popularity with the British public, it would make perfect sense.

williams wright is the one IMO
JuanMa Lopez-Penalosa should be on as part of the Top Rank deal.
Apart from that:
Would loved to have seen this weeks tripleheader;
March 7
At San Jose, Calif. (HBO): Joel "Love Child" Julio vs. James Kirkland, 10 rounds, junior middleweights; Victor Ortiz vs. Mike Arnaoutis, 12 rounds, junior welterweights; Robert Guerrero vs. Daud Yordan, 10 rounds, junior lightweights
April 11
At Las Vegas (HBO): Paul Williams vs. Winky Wright, 12 rounds, middleweights; Cristobal Arreola vs. Jameel McCline, 12 rounds, heavyweights
March 21
At Stuttgart, Germany (ESPN): Vitali Klitschko vs. Juan Carlos Gomez, 12 rounds, for Klitschko's WBC heavyweight title

Holt vs Bradley and Andrade vs Tyspko in Montreal, 4th April would be a decent add.
All Top Rank or Sauerland fighters, I believe.

That's on Setanta I think. Buncey said they won't show the Lightweight tourney as it's on the same night as Bradley-Holt.

I'd like Setanta to explain how they will manage to keep buying so much boxing once they lose a signifacant amount of their subscribers when they lose most of their football coverage...
In fact, will they even exist this time next year?

March 28 Humberto Soto-Antonio Davis, Fernando Montiel fighting for WBO Interim bantam title, JL Castillo-Antonio Diaz, Chavez Jr & Alejandro Garcia also on the card, and
Some of these guys are Top Rankers. Will we get this show?
I am really curious about this one. This should be part of the Top Rank deal, no?

Ah excellent, made up about that.
If they get Winky vs Williams as well I'll be over the moon.

I've heard some kind of merger with ESPN has been mooted and that Sky might let Setanta regain some football in order to stop that merger happening, which wouldn't be in Sky's long term interests.
Just speculation though.

Also like both fighters so want to see their fights, simple.

It would be interesting if the winner could fight Pavlik. However this wold get in the way of the inevitsble Abraham clash. I have a feeling if Williams stops Winky, if he finds a big performance on the old man, that Arum would overcome his feelings about not working with Williams' team.
But if they plod and flap on each other for 12 rounds no one will give a damn about them.
I want the Mar 28 Mexican card. Plenty of exciting Mexicans on the show - Soto, Montiel, etc - and surely it's part of the Setants deal with Top Rank. Will this appear on the schedule? Bunce?
