    Donaire, Solis, and Gamboa all in against worthy opponents.

    Right. Showtime's undercard also features an undefeated fighter by the name of Selcuk Aydin out of Turkey so I guess we'll see if he's any good as well.

    Ya it is.. There's not a lot of fights but they're all high quality matchups excluding the Gamboa fight..

    Are u ordering the Donaire PPV?

    Gamboa will have a more exciting fight than Solis/Viloria. I'll guarantee that.

    Still a tremendous weekend for boxing.

    It'll be interesting to compare Gamboa vs Rojas with Chris John vs Rojas. Even though Rojas has been inactive for over a year.

    Martinez is a balls to the walls type of fighter and young hungry fighter like him will be very very dangerous..

    Flash better be on his A game.

    They're a few quickie YT videos of Raul Martinez if you're looking for SOMETHING to go off of. Personally I haven't seen enough to say whether he'll beat Donaire.

    I just finished watching some of martinez's vids and man! that guy can bang.
    he gave proa a good beating like a little cotto.

    is he a bigger risk than montiel?

    He is not very slick but it looks like he has some power. Not enough clips to tell.. I mean look at how powerful Cintron looks against bums and then see what happens to that power at the top level.

    reading around it seems that Martinez does get hit quite often. Donaire will find those holes and he can bang like a motha****a.

    I'm about 75% sure at this point I'm going to Primm to have my first look at Gamboa live.

    Definately looking forward to this.
