Boxing double take
Spike TV gets into the boxing business tonight with a replay of this month's Byrd-Golota battle.
The network for men will telecast the April 17 heavyweight bout between Chris Byrd and Andrew Golota at 9 tonight.
The two-hour program, titled "Knockout," also will feature a behind-the-scenes peek at the boxing world through the eyes of promoter Don King, a show in and of himself.
The broadcast marks Spike TV's first foray into championship boxing, a realm more typically associated with ESPN, Showtime and HBO on the cable dial.
The telecast also includes the April 17 fight between World Boxing Association heavyweight champ John Ruiz and challenger Fres Oquendo.
Byrd fought Golota to a draw in their match, letting him retain his International Boxing Federation belt. The fight marked Golota's first return to Madison Square Garden since he was disqualified for hitting Riddick Bowe with repeated low blows eight years ago.
Reality pugilism
Speaking of boxing, Fox has decided the sport could be the next reality playground.
