    Having people over to watch the Canelo fight in the backyard this Saturday, but the undercard is absolute trash. Most haven't had much exposure to the sport so was going to punt on the undercard and have some older fights on until the main event, any suggestions?

    Wayne McCullough vs Victor Rabanales
    Boza-Edwards vs Rocky Lockridge
    Kelvin Seabrooks vs Thierry Jacob
    Paul Banke vs Daniel Zaragoza II

    Cannot go wrong with any of those. All absolutely brilliant and well worth watching, whether before the Canelo fight or just in general.

    If your gonna skip the card why not watch Plant vs Uzcategui and Smith vs Canelo/ BJS vs Canelo

    Kinda like a background on undisputed @ 168

    True but then I have to explain why there are 4 or more titles in each division (also the Smith fight was dull as dishwater)

    Didn't like Smith vs Canelo, eh?

    Personally I though that was Canelo at his most savage, but to each their own.

    You'll probably have to explain the 4 belts anyways.

    Canelo looked amazing, Smith looked hopeless (and lost me a few dollars). Don't remember the Plant fight other than it being an upset and him getting caught a little late
