RingTV.com's resident historian and "Travelin' Man," Lee Groves, recounts the first half of his recent trip to Buenos Aires to work the CompuBox keys for RING middleweight champ Sergio Martinez's title defense against Martin Murray.

Zab Judah will attempt to restore his "Super" nickname against RING champion Danny Garcia, a fighter who is 10 years younger. Seventeen boxing insiders give their picks on Saturday's Showtime-televised junior welterweight championship.

Echoing the famous words of Mike Tyson, Danny Garcia says his opponents "think they're going to beat me until we get into that ring. Until they get hit."

Danny Garcia on Zab Judah's perceived advantage in the ring: "When you get hit, it don't matter how much experience you've got. If you can't take the punch, that's the only thing that matters."

Although Brandon Rios became the first man to stop Mike Alvarado in October's bloody Fight-of-The-Year-caliber clash of unbeaten junior welterweights, ex-beltholder Kendall Holt believes that Alvarado can exact revenge on Saturday night.

Golden Boy Promotions has big plans for Adrien Broner's next fight, which could be a 135-pound unificiation bout with Ricky Burns or a jump to welterweight to face Paulie Malignaggi, but the unbeaten WBC lightweight beltholder won't discuss his potential opponents.

Kendall Holt after Friday night's loss to Lamont Peterson: "My body just wasn't responding. My body and my mind just weren't on the same page. My body wanted to do one thing, and my mind said do something else."

Kendall Holt on Friday's bout with Lamont Peterson: "This fight, I'm going to set things up and make things happen. I have had some good sprints, some good boxing and I am ready to go a good, hard 12 rounds."

Boxing expert Rich Marotta says Lamont Peterson's defense against Kendall Holt "should rank pretty high on the entertainment scale."

IBF beltholder Lamont Peterson on Kendall Holt: "At the end of the day...I don't think that he will be able to bite down like I'm going to be able to."

Lamont Peterson on facing Kendall Holt in his home town of Washington, D.C.: "It helps to hear the voices of your friends and family cheering you on."

Kendall Holt's preparation for Lamont Peterson has included sparring sessions with ex-beltholder Shane Mosley. 

Former titleholder Amir Khan has signed a three-fight deal with Showtime.

Brooklyn native Zab Judah to Philadelphia's Danny Garcia: "When you come into Brooklyn, you have to show some respect. Take your ass whooping and head down I-95."

Former titleholder Kendall Holt is the next in line to face IBF junior welterweight beltholder Lamont Peterson.

"God has given me my skills back," says Zab Judah, who believes himself ready to challenge the winner of Lamont Peterson vs. Amir Khan, or Danny Garcia, who recently beat Erik Morales for the WBC junior welterweight title.

Kendall Holt looks to rejuvenate his career against Tim Coleman on ESPN2 this Friday night, but the former titleholder is also putting in work outside the ring for life after boxing.

Fighting in his hometown for the first time in his professional career, Zab Judah believes that his big-fight experience will be too much for young Vernon Paris, and that "Super" will be wearing a belt again after March 24.

The junior welterweight clash between Kendall Holt and Danny Garcia is shaping up as one between an experienced veteran and a talented newcomer.
