    Well, they are apparently planning on showing us all ten bouts on the card or as close as they can get away with. :lol:

    Four matches (and that weird Cirque du Soleil stuff) in the last hour.

    There is Sergio Thompson, in a baseball cap and sleeveless t-shirt with his gloves and trunks on.

    They love him here in Quintana Roo - his hometown.

    Thompson pumps his fists in the air, and makes his way through:

    - two big pillars made out of lightbulbs.

    - two bonfires in plant pots

    - some fake palm trees

    ...and into the ring.


    ...and here comes a pair of guys in sunglasses rapping in Spanish into wireless mics to escort Linares in...

    Sergio seems very confident.

    He seems to have that natural flair for making the crowd eat out of his hands, like a Jorge Arce.

    Apparently Linares is the WBC #2 lightweight. :think


    With a win here, Thompson could leapfrog him into mandatory position to face DeMarco.

    Really interested to see if Linares will show some power.
