Showtimes four-month dry spell with no major fights from August through November
is finally coming to an end with the announcement of five new fight cards on
Tuesday, all of which look promising.Seven total bouts were announced, with the
promise from Stephen Espinoza, the Showtime Sports boss, that each card would
ultimately be at least a doubleheader, so that means there are still more bouts
to be announced.Espinoza said getting everything done and ready to announce at
once was like herding cats. While most of the bouts have been expected it was
nice to see them finally official with dates laid out, even if some dont have
locations yet.Espinoza is a lifelong boxing fan, so when I spoke to him about
the new schedule, I asked him which fight he was looking forward to most. He was
political with his answer.Its like choosing among your children, he said,
laughing. Were proud of every single one of these fights. We have a rematch of
the possible fight of the year [between featherweight titlist Carl Frampton and
Leo Santa Cruz], we have Keith Thurman against Danny Garcia. Thats the most
attractive fight that can be made in the welterweight division. Weve looked
forward to the Badou Jack-James DeGale fight. We have a lot of good
fights.Adrien Broner is in a really tough matchup against Adrian Granados that
is an intriguing match of styles. The [Jermall] Charlo-Julian Williams fight is
a really attractive fight, [Jesus] Cuellar and [Abner] Mares are never in a bad
fight and you have Mikey Garcia fighting [Dejan] Zlaticanin, a guy nobody else
in the lightweight division wants to fight. Its really hard to choose. I cant
pick. You look at these fights and maybe theres a slight favorite but you can
make a case for either fighter in every fight. Thats why were so proud of this
slate of fights.If he doesnt want to tell me his favorite one, Ill tell him and
all of you mine. Heres how I rank the bouts announced this week:1.
Thurman-Garcia (March 4): To me, its a no-brainer for this one to be in the top
spot. Its a fight fans have been anxious for. Theyre both undefeated, both in
their prime, both fight in crowd-pleasing styles and they are meeting to unify
world titles in the welterweight division, arguably the best in boxing. If you
go by my ESPN divisional rankings it matches No. 1 (Thurman) against No. 4
(Garcia, who is only that low because he has had two bouts in the division and
neither against a top opponent). The fight also might wind up on CBS, Showtimes
sister network, rather than premium cable. Thurman (27-0, 22 KOs) will be taking
on the best opponent of his career and Garcia (32-0, 18 KOs), who still has to
win a tune-up fight against Samuel Vargas on Nov. 12 in a bout the world could
do without, will finally be taking on an elite opponent for the first time since
upsetting Lucas Matthysse in a 2013 junior welterweight title fight.2.
Frampton-Santa Cruz II (Jan. 28): Frampton left behind his two title belts at
junior featherweight and moved up to challenge Santa Cruz for his featherweight
belt on July 30. They produced a bona fide fight of the year contender, which
Frampton (23-0, 14 KOs) won by majority decision. Santa Cruz (32-1-1, 18 KOs)
immediately exercised his right to an immediate rematch and I thank him for
doing so. Its hard to imagine the sequel, which matches No.

Sale Australia. 1 vs. No. 2 in the division, being anything but
another outstanding scrap.3. Jack-DeGale (Jan. 14): Jack (20-1-2, 12 KOs) and
DeGale (23-1, 14 KOs) were supposed to meet in the fourth quarter of this year
but for a variety of reasons it was delayed until early 2017. Its a small price
to pay for another No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown as they will meet to determine
division supremacy and also to unify their super middleweight world titles.
Neither fighter has a reputation for being in great fights but do have a
reputation for fighting to the level of their opponent, which means they should
battle it out at a very high level.4. Charlo-Williams (Dec. 10): In the
co-feature of this show, Charlo (24-0, 18 KOs), No. 3 in the ESPN junior
middleweight rankings, will defend his belt against No. 6 Williams (22-0-1, 14
KOs) in a mandatory fight that has been anticipated for the past year.
Stylistically, it looks like an exciting fight between skilled boxers who pack a
solid punch and who will be facing their most dangerous opponent. They dont seem
to care for each other either, which could also make the build up fun.5.
Zlaticanin-Garcia (Jan. 28): No. 3 Zlaticanin (18-0, 11 KOs) is really good and
the sort of guy nobody has been calling out -- except for Garcia (35-0, 29 KOs).
Zlaticanin is an all-out attacker while Garcia, a former featherweight and
junior lightweight titlist who I have No. 10 at junior welterweight, is the
epitome of a controlled boxer-puncher. Garcia came back from a long layoff in
July and fought as a junior welterweight but said from the outset he planned to
go down to lightweight. Here he is taking on a top-notch opponent in a fight,
the co-feature, which I think could be very explosive and go either way.6.
Cuellar-Mares (Dec. 10): This is the main event of the card and figures to be a
highly competitive and fan-friendly fight if they live up to their reputations.
No. 6 Cuellar (29-1, 21 KOs), who will be defending his secondary featherweight
title, and No. 5 Mares (29-2-1, 15 KOs), a former three-division titleholder,
could be the sleeper of this slate of fights. Adding to its significance is that
the winner will be the mandatory for the Frampton-Santa Cruz II winner.7.
Broner-Granados (Feb. 11): This fight might rank last but that is not an
indictment of the match, rather a statement on the strength of the overall
Showtime schedule. No.3 Broner (32-2, 24 KOs), a four-division titlist, had been
on track to challenge junior welterweight titlist Ricky Burns in an attempt to
win back the belt stripped from him for missing weight before an April victory,
but Burns suffered a perforated eardrum during his Oct. 7 victory against Kiryl
Relikh and was not available, according to Espinoza. Granados (18-4-2, 12 KOs),
unranked in the top 10, is no pushover whatsoever despite the modest record. A
closer look reveals that all four losses came by way of split or majority
decision to opponents with a combined record of 52-1. Broner is more talented
but if he is not prepared and takes Granados lightly, he will find himself in a
world of trouble. ' ' '
