    I would have added Maidana-Lopez, if Lopez was Top Rank he would be Rios.

    Solid card. I expect it to be pretty entertaining.

    Leo Santa Cruz is a rising favorite of mine. The guy is never in a boring fight.

    Rosado is another guy who brings the action and is never in a boring fight. Even if Love tries to lay back, Rosado won't let him.

    PDL vs. Mares is an HBO Championship Boxing level fight. It would easily headline a normal Saturday night. I know we were spoiled by the Canelo/Trout possibility, but this is about as good of a supporting bout as PPV has had in a while.

    Mayweather vs. Guerrero doesn't look that great on paper, but The Ghost will push the action. It won't be as exciting as Mayweather/Cotto, but I don't think this will be another Mayweather snoozer.

    I like the Rosado / Mares and Floyd fights obviously. Hoping for the best with Santa Cruz. It will be a good card.

    They are headlining a triple header on 6/8. Good exposure for both guys who deserve it. Tough fight to call.

    :good

    I'm heading to Vegas for my fourth fight weekend and this will be the first time that my ass will be in the seat for the start of the PPV broadcast. I know, I know, I'm a fight fan so I should always do that but in Vegas things kind of happen and I always have to make an effort to make the co-feature. This time, no way. I hope other fans feel the same way and give the whole card the atmosphere it deserves.

    Slightly jealous. I still haven't done the big fight weekend in Vegas.

    Have a blast. Share some pics.

    It's addicting. I did it first for Mayweather-Mosley as a "check off bucket list" thing to do. Now I go every year and get major **** from the wife lol

    I'll share some pics for sure.

    It's a good card. Mares - PDL could be a show stealer, depending on how PDL comes in. Dude's fighting on Borrowed time as is.

    Bazooka made a good point earlier that both tend to lead with their heads and are prone to cuts which could make for a short fight. We'll see. PDL shocked the hell out of me against Gonzalez. Hoping it's a good one.

    I saw that, good point caught by Zooka. Fingers crossed no butts ruin ANY fights on the card.

    the fact that Canelo-Trout was almost the co-event makes it kind of a downer.

    Still a pretty good card though.

    Not a great card IMO. DPDL-Mares is the only fight I look forward to (and I think Daniel beat Abner).
