    I think that this is going to be a good undercard -

    There's talks that Sakio Bika vs Allan Green is a proposed fight ... also Michael Katsidis vs Vincente Escobedo is another proposed fight.

    Confirmed fights are Chris John vs Rocky Juarez II and Zab Judah vs Matthew Hatton.

    What do you guys think?

    How could Green/Bika happen? Unless I'm mistaken, neither fighter is under GBP's banner.

    I'd like to see Escobedo vs Katsidis but Kats turned that down once already.

    Awesome card if they pan out though.

    That's not bad, but it's an expensive PPV with maybe three top guys in action. (Mayweather, Marquez, and John.) But the fights above happen, I'll admit it's better than a lot of the undercards we've seen on some of these PPV's lately.

    Well so far so good, the undercard consists decent fights. It's a good test for Green to see wheter his skill is as big as his mouth against an experienced Bika. At last the rematch between John and Juarez and let's see if Judah can get back to the top against the younger Hatton. This should be interesting:cool:

    Zab vs Matt Hatton, I don't know about M.Hatton, is he a game opponent for Judah?

    Katsidis vs Escobedo should be entertaining.

    Golden boy has a deal with the contender promotions ... and Bika is under that banner.

    I just read that Katsidis is back on with that fight and even if its not on the undercard, it will still happen sometime this year.

    Green is looking for a fight and all of the top fighters are tied up in fights right now, the only other option would be Bika ...

    I think the undercard would contribute to the PPV units ...

    The fight will sell in Mexico, US, Europe, and in other HBO markets ...

    It will be a good tune up for future fights for Judah because he isn't the same anymore.

    I'd need to see a link on that from Kats. Last I remembered he's been more or less guaranteed a shot at whoever has JMM's 135 lb belt in the future. I doubt he'd risk it over Escobedo.

    Green vs Bika would be great. Could they fit 5 fights on the UC?

    god damn this is already one of the best cards in years with the 3 confirmed fights, anything else is just icing on the cake.

    Would love to see Katsidis on this card. He deserves big exposure again, he is a terrific fighter. Even if he is a convict.

    Crazy, Bika is all over the place. From an untelevised Thursday night rubbish fight in Australia to PPV a couple months later. :lol:

    Could swear I heard Guzman-Katsidis was being discussed, was that person just whistling dixie?

    Bika-Green still makes absolutely no sense. No reason for GBP to showcase a bunch of non-GBP fighters on what could be their biggest card of the year.

    Unless something strange happens, I doubt it. There have been Katsidis-Escobedo rumors though. Guzman will be the mandatory for the Romanov-Angulo winner.
