Boxing Challenge

Interesting weekend in the boxing challenge,but many of the fights are of the squash match variety with only one top notch fight being evenly matched.
All three cards run against each others at the same time,so it will take some juggling and some luck to catch all of these fights...

Adrien Broner against Shawn Porter in another (sigh) catchweight is the marquee matchup,while the talented yet dull super middleweight champ Andre Ward returns for the first time since the Nixon administration against Paul Smith in a light heavyweight bout.
The vacant IBF Middleweight title is on the line in Montreal with David Lemieux,the man that cost me the 2014 boxing challenge against Hassan N'Dam.
The winner could be facing Gennady Golovkin in a title unification bout in the fall.
R.L Malpica and I's selections are very similar for the week as I enter with a 73-72 lead.
