OK, as apparently one of the few 'likers of the boxing episode' (far from best but I found it enjoyable) my challenge to everyone is this- watch the season again (when/if you can) back-to-back. I had recorded the whole season and not caught up until two weeks before the finale. Being able to watch ep after ep without the commercials always gives a different perspective to the flow of story. It helps not to have to wait whatever number of weeks between mid-season breaks and such. Taken in the context of what had happened up until then in the season and looking at what was to follow I thought the boxing ep was a decent way to bring everyone back into the main story while giving a 'breather' of sorts for some of the underlying drama that was brewing.
Just my 2 cents of course.

The boxing ep wasn't the only problem with the season as a whole. The first half was very good, but it seemed like the stuff that followed the Bx Ep was weak by the show's own standards. I'll be watching it again after I buy the seasons on iTunes. Want to get a monster external drive for that, though.
