HBO Boxing.
The fight was a little disappointing. I almost wanted a bigger opponent for Nikolai, but he still got the win. Good bet Zy - too bad I didn't jump on it w/ you. Hey, was it me, or did it seem like Nik completely opened up in the eleventh round?

He did a bit -- i think he saw how fatigued barrett was and wanted a knockout for the US audience. Barrett was knocked down as much from fatigue than the actual shots... and he got that way by throwing ridiculous telegraphed street-brawl type punches the entire fight... everything was looping and nothing short or straight. Funny thing is he did clock Valuev several times flush

ur boy Calzaghe is on HBO boxing next week here in the states. I believe it's his HBO debut but dont quote me on it.... the shitty thing is on the same night a huge fight between the other 2 titlists at supermiddle (168) is being held with Markus Beyer and Mikkel Kessler, and that fight is not being shown. (i guess a danish fighter vs a german fighter, neither with US marketability isn;t too big in the states
 ). I expect Kessler to win and set up a Megafight to unify all 4 168lb titles with Calzaghe....that would be a war....the only issue is a fighter from Denmark vs a fighter from Wales isn't going to go over well in the US (at least with how little they are exposed to the US market) It's too bad though, that'd be a war
