Interesting card in Germany on Saturday

June 5
At Neubrandenburg, Germany: Sebastian Sylvester vs. Roman Karmazin, 12 round, for Sylvester's IBF middleweight title; Steve Cunningham vs. Troy Ross, 12 rounds, for vacant IBF cruiserweight title.

Looks pretty good, I think I'll look for a link. It will probably be on during the afternoon in USA!USA!USA!, so I'll give you guys a heads up

Yea solid card, Karmazin-Sylvester should be entertaining and looking for another USS win

Steve Cunningham vs. Troy Ross is the more important bout. I think it will be a good scrap and will out preform the main event. I will tune in for this one.

How good is Sylvester?

Cunningham v. Ross should be fun and will stir up interest in the Cruisers. That division has had great fights for years and always gets slept on. Finally, they're on a bigger stage.

Come on SS

He's an above average Middleweight contender, he beat Lorenzo and Castillejo but was outboxed by Felix Sturm.

I have HBO, so i'll get Foreman-Cotto saturday night, but i'll be hunting for streams for Sylvester-Karmazin and Cunningham-Troy Ross saturday afternoon, and i'll likely post a thread for those fights.

Why did I think HBO was broadcasting these fights leading into Cotto-Foreman? What's the undercard for that then?

The undercard for Cotto-Foreman, Gumby?


June 5
At New York (HBO): Yuri Foreman vs. Miguel Cotto, 12 rounds, for Foreman's WBA junior middleweight title.

Undercard fights:
Vanes Martirosyan vs. Joe Greene, 10 rounds, junior middleweights; Pawel Wolak vs. James Moore, 10 rounds, junior middleweights.

HBO will likely only show: Vanes Martirosyan-Joe Greene.

If anyone can PM me a stream when these fights are on I'd appreciate it.

I knew that card sounded too good to be true.

2 well matched fights. HBO would never have a fight like that. Why? 1-it is in Europe and they dread going anywhere but Vegas, Atlantic City, and NY City. 2-It doesn't have big recognizable names.

It has at 160, ring rated#4(SS) vs ring rated#10(Karmazin) and at cruiser, ring rated#1(Cunningham) vs ring rated#5 (ross)

but none of those are household names. HBO would never put on fights without big names.

I hate HBO. If Showtime had HBO's budget then we would all be so happy.

someone please find a link before the fights on Saturday. It would be greatly appreciated.

What will happen first?
HBO will put on a card in Europe without huge name fighters

OR

the oil disaster created by BP is all cleaned up.

I'm guessing neither happens in the next 20 years.

I generally try to post streams for the major fights on Saturday Capt, if I can find them, look for a thread Saturday. afternoon.

Fantastic card. I will no doubt be looking for a stream. This would be a perfect Saturday afternoon card for one of the major networks to broadcast, the rights would be cheap. Wide World of Sports.

I strongly feel the key to boxing returning to Network TV is for lucrative overseas fights to be picked up live for low fees.

If anyone has a pirate satellite dish : this card will be broadcast on a Canadian Pay channel called Super Channel in HD. I'll be watching on the 46" plasma Saturday afternoon at 1 pm eastern.
