But the above video is pretty funny. The hobo would have been a lot better off if he obeyed the old maxim “never bring a pair of crutches to a roadblock fight.” For the first time in what seems like forever, there are plenty of fights of the traditional fistic variety on this week. There’s an eastern bloc-themed HBO show, a middleweight title fight from Germany and a bunch of other offerings including the premiere of 24/7 Chavez Jr./Martinez. Gennady Golovkin vs. Grzegorz Proksa, Saturday, HBO, Verona N.Y. Boxing returns to HBO after a lengthy absence with Kazakh middleweight sensation and Olympic silver medallist Gennady Golovkin headlining. Golovkin (28-1) used to be something of a point and click, central Asian jabber, but has reportedly turned into a very, powerful and scary beast who’s unable to keep sparring partners around.

There's more boxing on TV than any weekend in recent memory, and it's not going to stop. There's a good fight (or good fights) every weekend from now until the end of the year. This golden stretch kicks off with a bang, featuring no a whole heap of top rated fighters, and even top rated fighters fighting each other. Imagine that! The two premium cable shows, on HBO and Showtime, are mouthwatering. Their undercards are interesting. I don't see how Michael Katsidis and Ricky Burns don't produce a Fight of the Year-worthy bout. Chris Arreola doesn't know how to be un-fun. The only thing to be upset about is that the aforementioned premium shows are going head to head. But that's what DVR is for, dummy.
