According to Steve Kim: AUGUST 4TH SHOWDOWN I hear that the deal to bring the bout between David Diaz and Erik Morales to Chicago's Allstate Arena is very close to completion. That pay-per-view show, which will be produced by Top Rank, will also feature the WBO jr. welterweight title fight between Ricardo Torres and Kendall Holt, with prospects Juan Manuel Lopez and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. rounding out the televised portion of the bill. On that same night, Showtime is slated to broadcast the highly anticipated rematch between Rafael Marquez and Israel Vazquez. I hear that this bout could be taking place in Hidalgo, Texas at the Dodge Arena.
See, now this shit should be promoted. This is a bad ass fight night. And I will bet you Hanzy, Espn will never mention it.:nono:
Ouch. Why would you take a fight fans' ppv and match it up with Showtime's Saturday? Couldn't go a week or two in either direction?
agree...this fight is the kind of fight that will bring more fans into boxing........DLh vs. Mayweather..the undercard will more that likely suck ass...and the main event might be predetermine.
Marquez/Vazquez II on the same night as Erik Morales? Is this legal? Can they do this to me? :warning: :warning: :flip: :flip: :kick: :kick: :shit: :shit:
another damn ppv...:flip: ....at least we get marquez vs. vasquez on free showtime....bob arum should get his head out of his ass and put the morales, torres vs. holt fight in free showtime...
