After the great card that was Maidana-Morales they're planning two more this year. End of July... Morales returns (possibly against Barrera!!!) Kirkland-Ishida II Ponce-John September 17th... Alvarez-TBA (Mayorga has being mentioned) Ortiz-TBA (Likely against Aydin) Now that has the making of two quality cards. Good to see they're shoving Kirkland straight back in against Ishida, will really be sink or swim for him. And of course, Alvarez has to get past Rhodes first which is deffo not certain.
Ishida will stop him again I reckon, in a couple of rounds though. Ponces bad balance is gonna' be shown up here, John is gonna' punch the **** out of him I reckon.
Ponce De Leon - John is a good match-up. I think it's John's to lose, but I also believe he may have trouble keeping De Leon off him. Could end up being a close one. Ortiz - Aydin would be a cracking shoot-out. I thik both would probably hit the deck at some point in that one.
There off to. Marquez is hanging on for the Pacquiao fight. expect a routine defence of his lightweight title in the summer before Manny Pacquiao in July.
Shame Marquez - Judah has fallen through, that was a winnable fight for JMM, and he could have had a real shot of becoming the first Mexican 4 weight world titlist. But I guess a million dollar payday against Pac was more lucrative.
