...how's that for a clarion roll-call?

 

Quadruple-header lineup:

• George Rincón vs. Nikolay Dmitrievich Buzolin, 8 rounds @ super lightweight
• Félix Pedro Alvarado Sánchez vs. Israel “Heredero” Vázquez, 10 rounds @ light flyweight
• Roger Andrés Gutiérrez Cuevas vs. René Antonio Alvarado Sánchez III, 12 rounds @ super featherweight
• Vergil Ortíz, Jr vs. Egidijus Kavaliauskas, 12 rounds @ welterweight

This one has undergone quite a few revisions and logistical reshufflings over the last week:

There was originally another world title bout planned, Carlos "El Choccoroncito" Buitrago vs. Wilfredo "Bimbito" Méndez for the WBO straw championship, but that's off. The challenger from Nicaragua reportedly suffered from severe hydration on Thursday and elected to withdraw because of that.

So too is Pablo Cano vs. Danielito Zorrilla, called off last night when Cano experienced visa issues entering the country - and that one hasn't even been removed from BoxRec yet.

...and Israel “Heredero” Vázquez (no relation to Mexican legend El Magnifico, but he is the son of Puerto Rican legend Wilfredo Vázquez Sr., and, it obviously follows, brother of longtime contender Wilfredo Jr. ) is a late substitute for Erick Omar "Habanerito" López García, originally scheduled to meet Félix Alvarado in the show opener but also thwarted by visa problems.

Whew! Miraculous this buggy managed to stay on track.

 

You could have just asked!

 

Whoops...

...sorry about that; I'd skimmed earlier and only really caught that first line, not the relevant followup. Took a wild guess at which might work out best in terms of being appealing to me and least to you of DAZN/ESPN/Showtime ...had a 33.33% chance, ah well.

 

Hear ye, hear ye - @Boomstick has gained initiation status, to go into effect as of the Casimero vs. Rigondeaux or Franco vs. Moloney III RBR thread!
