From boxrec: Miguel Angel Cotto - Antonio Margarito Fernando Montiel - Jose Navarro Bernabe Concepcion - ? Mike Alvarado - ?
Wow, I just checked boxrec and it's actually on there. When was this matchup announced? It would be a war.
Montiel should fight Donaire not former Mijares opponents... however stopping former Mijares opponents is a good strategy to look good...
I think BoxRec is jumping the good a little, as usual. Montiel is fighting as are the two others, but as of last week they still were talking about Donaire as a possible opponent for Montiel. At any rate, should be a great day!
If they get Montiel in there with Donaire, then they will have a very legitimate co-feature bout that takes away from the two showcase pieces that will open the broadcast. Even though I look forward to seeing Alvarado and Concepcion, it would be inappropriate to support a fight of the magnitude of Cotto/Margarito with another match that, on paper, looks like what they will be faced with.
Arum and Kings undercards are always so much better than golden boys. I mean Hatton- Mayweather and De La Hoya - MAyweather were awful.
Montiel vs Navarro should be good.. Hopefully we'll see Montiel vs Donaire after this.. I'd like to see Concepcion too.. I like the undercard..
I like Montiel. A very good fighter to have on the undercard. The main event almost pays for itself in this one.
