    Aug.22 HBO is headlining Boxing after dark with Juan Diaz, and possible bouts with Escobedo vs. Katsidas, guerrero vs. Martinez and a showcase bout of Linares.

    Guzman was offered a fight against Judah at 142 on the PBF/JMM undercard but refused.

    Toney vs. Liakovich is in the works for July 4th.

    Chambers vs. Dimintrenko is in the works for July 4 too.

    Its Green's fault for why the fight with Bute isnt being made.

    Mijares and Cermino are set for a rematch they are just looking for a date.

    Yeah I read that too. Guzman should not be moving up and fighting Judah, but he did struggle to make 135 to fight Campbell, so why not, now that I think about it?? I like Chambers but let your damn hands go. Froch-Green is better anyways, Bute needs to fight andrade again

    at this time, guzman should not be too picky. if you are a guzman fan, you would probably be disappointed in him. pac moved-up to fight oscar and hatton. jmm is fighting floyd at around 144 catch-weight.

    Gotta love the LW Lightning stuff continuing from GBP. Escobedo vs Katisidis would be tons of fun. Would be nice to potentially see Jorge Linares on HBO as well.

    Guzman vs Judah? What is this NIGHT OF THE CATCHWEIGHT?

    That HW double header is intriguing.

    Guzman you ****er, you need to fight some1, all those skills mean nothing unless you use them....**** you waiting for? get your ass in gear my *****, you're a constant disappointment to me, acting like you can pick and chose what fights you want, what the hell is wrong with this man?? ****...

    btw.....whats with Green? i wanted to see him get KO'd, whats he doin?

    and i'll make sure to watch Diaz's next fight, he's one of the most entertaining in the game right now, and one of my fav. fighters, cant wait!

    Katsidis is cool too, but Guerrerro should be rematching that Thai kid he fought last time

    Seeing as Dan Rafael is a fat *****, and doesn't seem to know that Kevin Mitchell is fighting Roman Martinez at the 02 Arena is July and therefore thinks an August match-up with Robert Guerrero is in the works, I'll take the rest with a pinch of salt thanks.

    Guzman at 142 is a strange one. I have given up on Judah making 140 a while ago he keeps saying he will go to 140 but hasn't made the weight yet

    The guy can't even get the number of rounds right on the Eddie Chambers v Sam Peter fight, and that week he made up fights and added them to the schedule he put up and then missed some out.

    If he can't even get that right and doesn't even know that Kevin Mitchell is fighting Roman Martinez already, I'm not gonna take his word for much else.

    First off, Rafael mentioned Guerrero-Martinez as just a possibility, the names have been thrown around.

    Second, you act like this Martinez-Mitchell fight is official, which it's not.
    Remember Ortiz-Kotelnik, that wasn't official either.

    If HBO/GBP threw more money at Martinez than Warren would, which very well may not happen, then there's a good chance Martinez would pass on the fight with the legendary Kevin Mitchell.
