Ah, isn't live boxing at 5 p.m. on Saturday cool? A throwback to the carefree days before the pay-per-view menace, when Wide World of Sports always had a great Bobby Chacon or Boom Boom Mancini fight on TV on those hot Summer afternoons.
This will be the second straight live-at-five for Wladimir Klitschko. Last time it was a farce against Ray Austin in Mannheim, Germany, where it was nighttime at the time. This weekend it's a much better bout, a rematch against Lamon Brewster in Koln, Germany (can Blogger do umlauts?). Last time they fought, Brewster caught Klitschko in the 5th (see above), and it was all over.
Some press on the return bout:
Dan Rafael, ESPN.com: Klitschko, Brewster look forward to a clean rematch
Keith Idec, BoxingScene.com: Klitschko-Brewster: Redemption For One
T.K. Stewart, BoxingScene.com Lamon Brewster, It’s Up To You!

Ah, yes, the time before the pay-per-view menace. I remember those days from when I was a boy. It's just one man's opinion, of course, but I was a lot more interested in the sport back then.
