I'm going to get back into that punching shit. UFC and MMA is cunt fodder now, and I feel the scene is ripe for Boxing to make a come back.
Question:
How does one follow boxing these days? Is there boxing after dark still?
When and what programs are good to follow?

There just ISN'T MUCH OUT THERE ANYMORE, there isw a few fighters worth watching that fight every other year or so.
I watch my boxing on YouTube, just watched Durran and Leonard 1 and 2 Friday night, then finished watching a 42 year old Foreman destroy the Canadian champ in a few rounds.
Thank god for YouTube.

Epic ========================== Highly entertaining, but it is my belief that Foreman was never the same fighter post Ali. But anyway, I'll one up you. _

there/s gotta be weekly programming or something out there. Deontay Wilder is pretty big right now.

Most fair weather fans are drawn to the UFC at the moment which I like myself, but there's plenty still goin on for traditional boxing fight fans.
Wilder Broner Canelo Ward GGG Brook Joshua etc
I was at the Crolla-Linares fight in Manchester last week as he's a local kid. I'm loving the British fight scene at the moment, big domestic clashes plus world champs like Joshua, Bellew, Fury, Degale, Kell Brook and Ricky Burns.
There's a channel called box nation and Sky Sports carry all boxing here. What about bleacher app or does max Kellerman still cover boxing in the U.S before he joined first take?

All I know is never bet on the white guy. That was once said to Calzaghe and look how that turned out.

I know they have a search function for events and also a "watch" section too. boxrec.com/Tim

I still watch boxing from time to time and SNY usually shows fights every friday night, but boxing is nothing like it used to be in the 80's and 90's (pretty much when the heavyweight division died). More currently, the Klitschko brothers would've been a great fight, but they didn't want to fight each other.
The 2000s were great for lighter divisions with Mayweather, Hopkins, Mosley De La Hoya, Chavez, Marquez, Pacquiao, Cotto and Hatton.
Today pretty much just Wilder, Canelo and Ward in my opinion.

In addition to being the scariest fighter alive George Foreman had amazing comic timing.
