    May 2nd (Saturday), 2009 At The MGM Grand, Las Vegas, NV

    Manny Pacquiao (48-3-2) vs. Ricky Hatton (45-1)
    (For The Ring Magazine World Jr. Welterweight Championship)

    Humberto Soto (47-7-2) vs. Benoit Guadet (20-1)
    (WBC Super Featherweight belt)

    James Kikland (25-0) vs. Michael Walker (19-1-2)
    (The Ring Magazine #9 Jr. Middleweight vs. Unranked)

    Mike Alvarado (25-0) vs. TBA

    Abner Mares (17-0) vs. TBA

    Matt Korobov (4-0) vs. TBA




    I've heard that hot Cuban prospect Erislandy Lara has also been added.

    The card looks solid enough.

    the British part of the card is looking alright as well. Definately worth the 14.63 sky are charging.

    Lara is deffo on the card but the Luevano fight is off. In it's place Soto will fight some unbeaten Canadian called Gaudet.

    HBO in America are showing the Soto fight, Kirkland fight and the Korobov and Lara fights. I'm guessing Sky will show a few more. Joe Murray was meant to be on the undercard, he said so on Buncey's show but it's not on boxrec.

    **** news about the Luevano bout, but I always like watching Soto so its not all bad I suppose.

    I've edited the original post.

    I want to have a look at Mares; he's been out for nearly a year now with injury, but he looked **** hot before that.

    He's got the Dzinziruk fight in June, this is just a stay busy. How do you see that one going?

    :lol:

    We will also have Matthew Hatton fighting some patsy..... when he could build on his two good wins over Tackie and Bami!

    I'd like to see some British fighters going over and tackling the American prospects - would aid there education much more than fighting here IMO.

    I was surprised to hear that Maloney is staging the undercard show in a small (1800 seater) arena in Sunderland, when he has Moore, Munroe and Jeffries on the bill - talk about selling yourself short. All three are pretty big ticket sellers!

    Definitely worth £15 (well £3.75 in my case ;)) more so than the shocking card we had for DLH vs Pacquiao.

    Looks like the whole card is all about prospects. Not bad if they are genuine prospects and not fighters with undefeated records who have a loss waiting to happen.

    Good Card and according to Boxrec, Bernabe Conception, Joe Murray and Mathew Hatton are also on, That's some card for a Vegas show.
