The Week Ahead: Yes, Virginia, There Is Boxing In New York 

Santa Claus delivers his bounty early this year for the boxing media in New York as there are four straight days of press conferences and more.

The Don King Show Starring Don King, and also the fighters on his Jan. 7 card, makes its way to Madison Square Garden Monday. Welterweight champ Zab Judah will headline that card, along with a unification fight between two cruiserweight champs, Jean Marc Mormeck -- who could steal the whole show -- and O'Neil Bell.

On Tuesday Shane Mosley moseys on into town for a press conference to hype his Feb. 25 fight with Fernando Vargas in Las Vegas.

On Wednesday, just announced, is another press conference to push the Jan. 27 Atlantic City show featuring several title fights including, I believe, one of the strawweight champs, Muhammad Rachman, defending against Omar Soto.

Then Thursday is supposed to have, last I heard anyway, the annual New York meeting of the Boxing Writers Association of America, followed by the DiBella-promoted card at the Manhattan Center featuring Dimitry Salita against somebody, dead or alive.

And then on Friday we rest, because there may be a transit strike in New York by then.

It all goes to show that there is not, never has been, and never will be a Santa Claus.

I am a chick that LOVES boxing. My panties were wet with joy when I saw the billboard advertising the Gatti fight in Atlantic City on 1/28.
 
I am a guy who likes boxing, so you'll understand when I say I almost crapped my pants after hearing about the Gatti fight in Atlantic City on 1/28.
 
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and fluids with us, blonde. I linked to your blog. Perhaps you can come up to New York for the Jan. 7 show at the Garden featuring Zab Judah. I think the cruiserweight Jean Marc Mormeck may steal the show, though, as Zab should win fairly easily. And maybe you can join us at Yogi's, Doc's, or one of the other great dives here and even show us how you express your joy for boxing. And Brian has family here, I think, so we could all get drunk, listen to country music, and ruin our reputations together! Hey, it's what we went to these fancy colleges for, wasn't it?
