HBO does it again

HBO's main event this Sat. night is Calvin Brock vs. Timor Ibragimov. With the heavyweight division in disarray since Lennox Lewis stepped away, boxing needs a great performance from the American Calvin Brock to give people a reason to continue watching. If Brock's knockout power as seen in his last fight against Zuri Lawrence is an indication of Brock's future then we are in for a fun ride. Let the Calvin Brock era begin!

With all that said, the fight I am most interested in watching is not Calvin Brock vs. Timor Ibragimov, it is the undercard of Joel "Love Child" Julio vs. Carlos Quintana. Julio is 27 - 0 and is knocking out opponents in impressive fashion. With Sat. night's HBO exposure, we may see Julio jump right into stardom and I can't wait to see it happen.
