Goodnews if it does happen - news being tweeted by Dan Rafael of ESPN only 1hr ago. As much as some don't like Rafael, he breaks a lot of news in the industry. Let's hope this happen's for Lenny, what a great card to be on challenging for a world title! Tweeted 1hr ago - Dan Rafael: "Good chance we'll see Miguel Vazquez in mandatory 135 defense against Lenny Z on Cotto-Mayorga PPV undercard on 3/12" Also, Rafael reports on ESPN Boxing that Guerrero vs. Katisidis being mooted for March 5th HBO on Boxing After Dark. Saul Alvarez to headline that card. Great return fight for Kat's in my opinion if made. He takes care of Guerrero easily.
Katsidis Guerrero would be a good fight. I'd like Mick to win that too, and on HBO money he shouldn't turn that one down.
