Showtime is showing you 2 of the "super six" tournament fighters young Andre Ward and Mikkel Kessler who will be matched up against each other in the tournament on November 21. Ward takes on Shelby Pudwill in a 10 round super middleweight in Temecula, California and Kessler will defend his WBA super middleweight belt against contender Gusmyr Perdomo on the other side of the world in Herning, Denmark. This is a good way to compare the to fighters if you haven't seen them before so you know what style you will like on November 21st. Kessler "the Viking Warrior" already wins in the nickname department. Also on Saturday you have old-school legend James "lights out" Toney stepping back into the ring against Matt Greer, who he should destroy with ease. This guy is my all time favorite fighter and I have seen him live many times and every televised bout he was ever in. I hope he can return to glory for one last push for a worldtitle shot. You also have two PPV cards one brought to you by Top Rank and one brought to you by Integrated Sports. The Integrated Sports card profiles the rematch between Ivan "Iron Boy' Calderon and Rodel Mayol. In their last meeting in June the fight was called a technical draw because Calderon was unable to continue because of an accidental headbutt he sustained in the 4th round of that fight. Now we will see who will really win this fight hopefully it will be fought in the ring and not stopped by the referee. Top Rank brings you once again the son of a legend Julio Cesar Chaves Jr., he will be fighting Jason LeHoullier. On the same card you also get to see Fernando Montiel put his WBO bantamweight title on the line against Alex Valdez. Also that night you can see Jose Luis Castillo, Cruz Carvajal, Donnie Nietes, and Brandon Rios step in to the ring and fight it out. On the same night in Monterrey, Mexico you have Christian Mijares challenging for the WBA interim bantamweight title against Nehomar Cermeno. So as you can see there is plenty of action packed boxing to watch this Saturday so you know I wont be leaving my house or answering the phone.
