Pac Vs Hatton = awesome

damn great cards

 

good card.

im hoping kirkland ends up being good, itll be fun to see him fight again so soon.

id like to see how good korobov really is. he is supposed to be this great prospect, looked pretty good in his last fight, but if he really is that good, shouldve finished it earlier.

 

yeah i noticed this too. is luevano from top rank or GBP?

 

Abner Mares! :happy

 

bcoz PAC and Luevano both promoted by Arum/Top Rank...
.

 

hmm says....... looks like I'm buying and the crowd can show up early hehe.

 

IIRC (and I may be wrong) Alvarado and Mares will not be on the televised portion of the undercard. If Newsfight was correct, it's Koborov then Lara then Luevano-Conception (GO BERNABE) then Pac-Hatton.

 

Kirkland is fighting on this card and he got a title fight a month and a half later...that boy a beast!!!

 

**** that! :twisted:

 

"Things in boxing can change swiftly. Take, for example, the makeup of the May 2 Ricky Hatton-Manny Pacquiao HBO PPV undercard, for which Top Rank and Golden Boy are responsible. Steven Luevano will still defend his featherweight belt against Bernabe Concepcion in a Top Rank fight and red-hot junior middleweight James Kirkland will still be on in a Golden Boy fight (possibly against Michael Walker). The fourth slot was supposed to pit a Top Rank fighter against a Golden Boy fighter. The plan had been to match undefeated junior welterweights Mike Alvarado (Top Rank) against Lucas Matthysse (Golden Boy). But that fight isn't going to happen, at least not on this PPV card. Top Rank wants to keep Alvarado on the televised part of the card, but won't get its way. Instead, Top Rank and Golden Boy will each put on a prospect in a four-rounder. At least that's what Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer told me Saturday morning. Top Rank will go with middleweight Matvey Korobov (the 2008 Russian Olympian who I can't get enough of). Schaefer said he'll likely put on junior middleweight Erislandy Lara, the exciting Cuban defector and 2005 world amateur champion. Golden Boy and Arena Box Promotions co-promote Lara."

 

im excited to see korobov, lara, mares, kirkland and of course concepcion in action

 

Lara on the televised card? Wow! That's awesome news. They better get a competitive opponent.
