Poll: Which Show Fight Most Anticipated?
Showtime released its schedule for the first quarter, and I know we at TSS are pumped for a bunch of these tangles.
What about you, TSS Universe?
You most eager to get a gander at Haye, and see if the Brit stacks up to his press?
Or are you most jazzed to see the Ghost take on another hungry youngster, the ESPN fave Jason Litzau?
Perhaps it's the third installment of the Marquez-Vazquez rivalry, or shall we say, the Vazquez-Marquez rivalry, that floats your boat.
Me, I'm most amped to see if Awesome Dawson is all that, or if I'm guilty of overhyping. We'll find out when he meets the Road Warrior Glen Johnson, a throwback banger who will go anywhere, to meet anyone, at anytime…
Here's the sched, weigh in with your top pick for most anticipated.
