Showtime Championship Boxing Results

I'm going to link to these for a couple of reasons. The first is the fact that I've been wanting to add Boxing to the coverage here at the Times for awhile and even though its not really my sport, if I want it to happen I should take the lead.

I'm also linking this because I watched these 2 bouts tonight and they were both pretty entertaining.

Antonio Tarver decisions Elmir Muriqi, Chad Dawson stops Jesus Ruez in 6th
Tarver regained his IBO Light Heavyweight Championship after a year long layoff after losing to Bernard Hopkins. If you saw Rocky 6 however, you saw Tarver.

Chad Lawson defended his WBC Light Heavyweight title successfully. I stopped watching the Tarver fight in about the 5th because Marcus was here and wanted to see the iMPACT main event.

I enjoyed what I saw, the next edition of Showtime's Championship Boxing is on 7/7 which I probably won't see unless it comes on on Showtime West when UFC 73 has concluded.
