Anyone else looking forward to this one?

The undercard is looking very solid at this stage. The latest updates suggest it will be John-Juarez II, Judah-Antonio Diaz and Katsidis-Escobedo.

That card will definately be worth the $50 IMO.

How do you guys see this fight playing out? Will it be an easy victory for Mayweather like many are suggesting or are JMM's skills being underrated?

Its shaping up to be a beauty!

As always, I'll be looking forward to Katsidis putting his body on the line for my entertainment. His head has such a high affinity to punches, I do hope he tightens up his guard a tad. I do note that although they are roughly the same height, Escobedo has an 8 inch reach advantage.

Fortunately Kats' face hasn't been too badly damaged in his past 2 fights, and the extra time off would've given him time for any scar tissue to heal up nicely. It'd be a shame to see him lose by doctor stoppage.

Regarding the mainevent, I, like most others am expecting the pretty boy to win rather convincingly. Although Marquez pulled off some stunning knockout wins in his last 2 fights, he wasn't exactly blitzing the scorecards. Add the size difference between the two and I expect Floyd to win by a comfortable decision.

I don't think Floyd's lay-off will affect his performance. He's just too talented.

Then of course there's the mouth-watering potential match up against Pacquiao... a PPV record breaker for sure!

The undercard may be more exciting than the main event.
I expect a pretty comfortable win for Mayweather.
Everyone is waiting for Pac v Mayweather but Cotto may throw a spanner in the works. Interesting times ahead.

Floyd has fought plenty of fighters that were bigger than him throughout his career. Given his lengthy absence I don't think fighting an easier fight first fight back from a very long lay off is too bad. Particularly when the guy he is fighting is no 2 in the world p4p and has arguably beaten the man he wants a fight with.

Still, it would be great to see Floyd v Cotto and Mosley. Hopefully one of these fights might happen down the track.

Definitely worth the $50, top notch card. Floyd will beat Marquez but i think JMM will be semi-competitive. I think it ends in late tKO or decision for Floyd.

John-Juarez and Katsidis-Escobedo are intriuiging fights, im really excited for this.

Looking forward to it, would be great to see Katsidis get up and nothing would please me more than to see JMM dominate Floyd, no matter how unlikely it is.

You think Juarez-John will be any good?

John showed he had the perfect blue print to pretty much shut Rocky out in their first fight. If he can implement the same fight plan and not tire so badly he will win by a wide decision I think. I felt he won their first fight comfortably anyway, I didn't agree with the draw.

I hope Marquez can knock off Floyd.If he does it will be one of the biggest upsets in boxing history.
