Mayweather Jr vs Marquez Juan Diaz vs Joan Guzman Zab Judah vs Matthew Hatton Kirkland vs Dzindziruk artie:
guzman making 135 is an issue, if he does then id like to see that match. judah vs hatton is rubbish, and kirkland violated didnt he? i thought judah vs bailey was mentioned
....after what just happened to Ricky, i hope for the sake of the Hatton family that that matchup doesn't happen. Good big event card, for once.....Diaz-Guzman, IF it happens, could be something special. Definitely cheering on the Baby Bull in that one. I think Dzindziruk is too good for Kirkland, but he's an aggressive puncher at least, so there will be decent action.
it won't happen, just like the last time we had a rumored undercard that was good ( there was Cintron vs Clottey on it forgot the other matchup ) all the matchup will "fall" apart ( in reality, the promoter never had any real intention of putting them up ) and we will be stuck with a garbage uc once againbn
thiking about it, PBF would be wise to put in a stacked undercard because he knows his PPV numbers vs Marquez will be compared to Pac's one. And if he can get more buys due to the undercard, he could get a better split if the Pac fight ever comes off
Come on now...Pac vs. Marquez II did what? 400-450K....? Mayweather will beat that number easily..i say the ppv makes 550-600K..w/ no problem...
agREED... Diaz-Guzman will B THE FIRST to "Fall"...That Bout Could HEADLINE an HBO Or Showtime Card, so it's DOUBTFUL it'll B on a PPV Undercard... REED:hammert:
it was never going to happen. Talked to a few people who know G and Diaz well and Guzman was never mentioned it's going to be Rolando Reyes August 22nd in Houston and Kirkland wont be on this card either. Maybe Jacobs but not James
Holy Shyte !!! Maybe they're listening to all of our griping regarding the under-cards !!! Although, Diaz is probably fighting for a lot less money than he had been. And Judah has always been underpaid - one reason he gets so many title shots. And Kirkland? I thought he was going to prison? My guess is Guzman won't make weight. And his tendency not to make weight has probably driven down what promoters are willing to pay him. So while it's certainly a good under-card, it's probably not as expensive as one might think.
judah vs. bailey would be good while it lasted. and i've always liked Bailey and he can still punch but he looked a little shot in his last fight despite scoring what might end up being the knock-out of the year. didn't El Gato knock him down? I don't know. Bailey just looked unsteady on his legs and he's definitely slower than he used to be (Kellerman used to talk about Bailey's under-rated speed when Bailey was on top). I don't think Bailey has ever been the same since his war with Julio. What a fight that was. Huge upset. Huge war. That fight could easily have been the fight of the year.
