Bad choice by HBO

I know HBO thinks they are helping the sport of boxing by replaying an excellent Pavlik/Taylor fight right after the Joe Louis documentary, as a  lead-in for the Klitschko fight.

but this is the internet age. if people were interested in that fight theyhave either seen it somewhere online, or can go get it if they hear it was a good fight. There's no need to force feed it on us like NBC's 12-hour delayed Olympic coverage.

I think a better idea would be to let us see the undercard. there were a couple of intriguing fights there. I think the boxing fans (even the potential fans) are better served by being shown the Duddy fight, at least.

Thanks for the update, Jim Lampley.

We missed a good fight. And I missed my  under.

You weren't alone, I had the under tabbed in a parlay.  I knew Smichet was a straight ahead guy and Duddy is not hard to find, but it wasn't to be.
