NEW YORK (Jan. 28, 2016) – SHOWTIME Sports® is commemorating 30 years of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING with a year-long celebration that will highlight the biggest, most memorable and exciting SHOWTIME fights spanning four decades.
Next up is the presentation of both extraordinary Holyfield vs. Mike Tyson bouts airing Thursday evening at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHO EXTREME.
The network’s flagship sports series, SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, was born on March 10, 1986 when “Marvelous” Marvin Hagler defeated John “The Beast” Mugabi by spectacular 11th-round knockout. Since then, the series has distinguished itself as the premium television destination for boxing’s brightest stars and countless significant events in the storied history of the sweet science.
In celebration, SHOWTIME will go deep into its archive to reprise classic fights, grouping them together by a common theme each month. A new fight, each one wrapped with brief context and commentary from one of the network’s boxing experts, replays every “Throwback Thursday” night on SHOWTIME EXTREME throughout 2016. While Thursday night is the viewer’s destination for the initial replay of the classics, all the bouts for that month are available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND®, SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and via the network’s online streaming service. Plus, on the last Saturday of the month, a programming block including all of that month’s classics will air concurrently on SHOWTIME EXTREME.
The month of January has been dedicated to Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Evander Holyfield and his Hall of Fame career. Thus far, SHOWTIME has presented a compilation from Holyfield’s cruiserweight career, plus Holyfield vs. Michael Dokes and Holyfield vs. Buster Douglas in entirety, with Holyfield vs. Tyson I and II continuing the extraordinary trip down memory lane.
Each month’s live SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING event will include a segment in support of the 30th anniversary retrospective. Segments will include a vintage feature or a special guest which will connect the greats of the past to the modern era and that night’s main event.
Digital support each month will include short form, high-impact video components—complete rounds, highlights, exclusive interviews with the biggest stars and historic perspective from the personalities that color the rich history of boxing on SHOWTIME. -

It was a good fight. Fonfara has been improving too. And Stevenson hasn't been tested lately could be an upset special. -

Dumbest video ever -
I just said it man
Nobody taking him serious while he still campaign at 154....last time he was on HBO, he stunk it up...he not getting that fight w/o some action behind those words...put hands on somebody at 160 and make some noise w/o his mouth pause
This a ? stance and you know it! What noise did Willie Monroe Jr make to get the fight with GGG. Lara not being at 160 holds no weight in why the fight shouldn't happen.
So it makes sense for GGG to fight Dominic Wade instead of Lara only because Wade fights at 160 even though Lara is a better fighter than Wade?
Stop the ?
I want to see mentions of contracts and offers. Tweets ain't enough for me. Anyone can talk tough on Twitter.
The possibility of that fight happening is slim right now anyway.
Lara needs to be calling out 154 and 160 on Haymon side. Because 154 pbc is deep at. -

None of what you saying negates what I said. Lara vs GGG is better fight than Wade vs GGG. Tweets ain't enough for me either but I don't like the fake ? GGG and his team be on either. I don't see how GGG team can say Lara needs to earn a fight with GGG but then just fight Willie Monroe Jr. You cool with ? like that?
Something is up with that Haymon and 154 ? . Cause you right there are some great fights to be made at 154 but these dudes for whatever reason be it Haymon, their team or THEMSELVES don't seem eager to get in the ring with each other.
? J-Rock trainer Stephen Edwards flat out said that one of the Charlo bros wants no parts of J-Rock and if J-Rock became the mandatory for his belt the Charlo brother would vacate the belt and move to 160. Till this day I have not heard a response from the Charlos in regards to that statement. -
I've listened to some ? many a day. But two things I will personally never press play on is this and that diss track that white ? did about Bill Cosby.

J Rock was avoided by everyone at 154... Charlie and adrande. We're avoided by the big money guys 2

It's a better fight for sure in terms of names. But Wade has been campaigning at 160 and won some fights to put himself in that position even if it's like a plan D option for GGG.
Yeah 154 is weird to me so many names but none is fighting each other.
Trout ducked Williams heavy.

Stop.

J Rock was avoided by everyone at 154... Charlie and adrande. We're avoided by the big money guys 2
Adrade ethered his own career thinking he was someone he's not. Turned down fights against good opponents and good money. -
I thought they was in talks if doing Williams vs Charlo
-
OK GGG fans come and defend this sucka ass ? !!! Hell no to 168 for Andre Ward though and this the ? yall rocking with??
Golovkin's Promoter: If GGG Beats DeGale, He'll Return To 160
If Golovkin moves up to 168 and beats DeGale (22-1, 14KOs) - Loeffler makes it clear that he won't remain at super middleweight. Golovkin would vacate the IBF title and return to 160 to pursue his goal of unifying the entire division. "If Gennady goes up in weight to 168-pounds and beats DeGale, he's not going to keep the 168-pounds title. He'd go back down to middleweight
