Wladimir Klitschko vs. Tony Thompson

4 p.m. [HBO]:

Times are tough for those who prefer boxing to dudes fighting in cages. And it's easy to understand why boxing generates little heat when the IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight belts are on the line, the match is held in Hamburg, Germany, and it is broadcast on a Saturday afternoon in the States. A Thompson win would be a huge upset and you probably still wouldn't care. So it goes.
