Boxing Challenge

The Boxing Challenge continues with some PBC on CBS and Showtime along with some key fights from Europe.

CBS features the American debut of Carl 'The Jackal" Frampton as he defends his IBF Jr.Featherweight title against Alejandro Gonzalez Jr.,the son of the former featherweight champ.
Frampton,who was unable to come to terms for huge money in the UK for a bout vs Scott Quigg,signed with PBC and likely took any bouts vs Quigg or Guillermo Rigondeaux off the table.

The Haymon bunch hits Showtime later in the evening with overweight (again) Julio Cesar Chavez Jr taking on little known Marcos Reyes and McJoe Arroyo against Arthur Villanueva for the vacant IBF Jr.Bantamweight title.
This card is showing the slow death of the Showtime boxing program....

The Aforementioned Scott Quigg defends his minor title against Kiko Martinez in a bout that if Quigg wins could get him Nonito Donaire next.
Martinez has lost to Frampton,so this would be a nice comparison against a common opponent.
The card also has Darleys Perez vs Anthony Crolla in a lightweight minor title bout.

In Macau China,the IBF's Jr;Lightweight title will be filled as IK Yang faces Cesar Cuenca for the title stripped from Lamont Peterson.
The lightly regarded winner could face Terrence Crawford in a title unification fight next...

Germany features the fourth and final bout for the WBO Super Middleweight title as Arthur Abraham defends vs Robert Steglitz.
Abraham leads the series 2-1,with Steglitz holding the only stoppage win.
Abraham won the third fight by a split decision in a fight that could have went either way...

I currently lead R.L.Malpica in the boxing challenge 84-82.
