There are some great matches coming up but there are a few that I am very excited about. First the Taylor vs. Ouma and also the Klitschko vs. Brock. Looking at the current heavyweight situation, this should be a good fight. Vlad has to keep riding the high from the Byrd fight and there is no doubt that Manny is gonna keep him on the right track. I really hope that Vlad ko's Brock and then moves on to the next victim.
Same goes for Taylor now that Manny Steward is in his corner. I still like Burns and like most fans, very much appreciate what he has and continues to do for Taylor. But Manny is a master at bringing all the talent in a fighter and its exciting to see him do that with Taylor.
Anyone else excited about other fights or these matchups?

I can't wait for JT's fight. I just hope he keeps his head on straight (i'm sure he will) b/c Ouma is a damn good fighter. He's a really awkward southpaw, too. But he'll be great preparation for another rematch with Wink. I saw him completely destroy Sergi Powell on OLN a few months ago. Powell was undefeated at the time and is a guy who, when they were amateurs, went toe-to-toe with Taylor on the Olympic team. Taylor was the best, but not by much then. And Ouma just wrecked this guy. He throws around 1,000 punches every fight, so that scares me a little bit. If he just comes in and swings though, Taylor will knock him out at some point. I can't wait for that.

Isn't Mayweather/Baldomir coming up, as well as Morales/Pacquiao III? Also I think Margarito is fighting somebody pretty soon, too. You're right, there are some terrific fights coming up before the end of the year. It's been a little bit of a dead period since the summer, so the upcoming action is something to look forward to.

I think it is Nov. 11th on the Klitschko/Brock fight. Yep there are both of the fights that you are talking about Jay that are coming up soon. I don't know about ya'll, but I am just hoping someone knocks out Mayweather. And I totally respect his skills and all of that, he is the man, but I am hoping Baldomir slips up on him and puts him on the canvas. Another fight that is coming up in January I think is the Jose Luis Castillo/Vivian Harris. Always liked Castillo alot.
That Taylor/Ouma fight should be a good one, especially being in Little Rock. Gonna try to make that fight if at all possible.
