Talk to old-timers, and they'll lament on how it used to be. Boxing was on every Friday night, and the whole family used to crowd around the tube and watch bouts, they say. There hasn't been as much crowding around the tube in the last decade, with boxing being largely absent from network TV, but that trend seems to be reversing. On Dec. 22, NBC ran the Steve Cunningham-Tomasz Adamek heavyweight scrap, put on by promoter Main Events, and fight fans -- and I count myself among them -- rooted for the numbers to come in strong.
