Thank you very much Lampley. Printing this out and hanging it up next to my PC and my TV so I know when to watch and who to watch.

[sues2nd]

Lampley....you are the fuckin man.

[Lampley]

Thanks, guys. I hope it's useful.

I'm also certain I'm missing some fights (according to BoxRec, I'm missing about 50!), but I'll post new versions as things change.

Also, television information for overseas fights is difficult to obtain. I welcome any input from those in the know.

[Dismantled]

Nice! This is one of the reasons why I joined this forum! ...So much great info available...

[klion22]

Televised info for US fights would be most helpful along with time. More work for you, more convenient for us. :)

[bumdujour]

This is great stuff.

cant wait for Macca vs TBA:rofl :rofl

[aillmatic]

good list to have....

also.... Gavin Rees (ranked 5th in junior welterweight) will be fighting on 11/3 on the same Kessler/Calzaghe card and his WBA belt will be on the line, opponent to be determined.

Added. Thanks!

[aillmatic]

no prob.:good

[McGrain]

Lampley should be knighted.

There should be an above and beyond East Side Guru and it should be him. This stuff is worth it even without the rankings!

[Lampley]

Looking at the schedule, I can't even begin to contemplate how excited I am for Calzaghe/Kessler. I've found a bar in my area that carries Setanta, and assuming this place will be showing the undercard fights, I'll be there early knocking back suds and watching the fights.

Of all the great stuff this fall, that's the one I'm most excited to see.

Revised to include yesterday's result. I wish the board software allowed you to continue editing the original post.

It does - at least for me! You should have an "edit" button visible in the lower right corner of your post, to the left of the "quick" and "quote" buttons.

Regardless, thanks SO much for posting this - I was gonna ask if someone could do this to make us aware of what fights we might want to watch for ratings' impact! Excellent work!:good

I use the edit button all the time, but it allows you to edit only for a certain while. You can't go back and edit something later. Or at least I can't.

Glad you like the post. I think it will be fun and helpful.

-- Belt: Sakata's WBA Title --

[Lampley]

So far this month, form mostly has held. The biggest surprise was Sturm drawing last night. That was his second adverse outcome in recent fights (the Castillejo KO being the other), and if he isn't careful, his stock will drop accordingly.

If you're HBO, does Sturm interest you anymore? Does Felix even care, and should he even care?

The two fights involving pound for pound fighters haven't happened yet, and obviously the biggest fight on the calendar is Kessler/Calzaghe on November 3.

The Naito vs. Kameda sounds like a nominee for dirtiest bout of the year. Check out the link I posted or just google it. It sounds wild.

[Lampley]

So we have until the 13th to submit our votes??

Yep! I posted a thread today but it has sailed away. It'll be like usual, just bumped back a whole week. People wanted to wait on Cotto/Mosley.

We'll vote this time on whether to shift the voting day or if we should keep a hard deadline.

[Lampley]

What are our thoughts on Froch vs. Reid? With a big win, it would seem Froch would be in line for a big-money fight, perhaps for a belt sometime after Calzaghe leaves.

Does Reid have anything left?
