We are heading into a great time for boxing. Last year was a tremendous bounce-back year for the sport with fantastic matchups at high level. Now 2008 shifts into gear with three biggies in a five week span. February 16 in Las Vegas, it is the rematch between Middleweight Champion Kelly Pavlik and former champ Jermaine Taylor. I think the long-time held theory in boxing that whoever wins the first fight usually wins the second (about 80%) will hold up. Pavlik should take it. Then on March 1st in Los Angeles, Israel Vasquez and Rafael Marquez in the third fight of what is a fascinating and thrilling trilogy. In this series, the old line thinking did not hold up, because Vasquez bounced back from defeat to gain his revenge in the second bout. Media members seem totally split on how this one will come out. I haven't yet made a decision on which way i"m leaning. Then finally, on March 15th, the big one, Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquaio in their long awaited rematch. I'm really happy this one will be Mandalay Bay, the premier site for boxing fans. Don't ask me for a prediction on this one for about a month.
