APRIL 8th HBO / PPV CARD MAY BE WORTH THE BUCKS...




I don't get too excited over PPV cards. They are usually a rip off.
There is one coming up April 8th that has peaked my interest.

Zab Judah puts his IBF version of the welterweight title on the line
against undefeated superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr. Despite the fact that
Judah lost a portion of the title in his last fight to Carlos Baldomir, this
bout will provide a stern test for Mayweather. In my opinion Floyd is the
best boxer pound for pound in the world today. I always felt Judah was over
rated but he is still a formidable fighter. He is probably the fastest boxer
Floyd will have met to this point in his career. Judah has a style that
could pose some problems for Floyd. Nevertheless I see Floyd winning inside
the distance.

On the undercard Jorge Arce meets Rosendo Alvarez in a WBC Interim
Flyweight title bout. Alvarez was one of the few who could hang tough with
the great Ricardo Lopez when he was in his prime. Alvarez may be getting a
little long in the tooth but if he has one more good fight left in him, this
could be a very entertaining bout. These are two of the best little guys
around.

Also Houston's pride Juan Diaz takes on Jose Cotto for the WBA
lightweight title. I could see this one being an all out war. Diaz is a
strong, aggressive fighter. Cotto won't have to look for him. Very good
match up that has the prospect of being a real thriller.

You know this PPV card just may be worth the $$$...It will be shown on
HBO / PPV.

If Judah weren't headlining, I'd be all over this one. Arce-Alvarez oughta be a war. I've been saying it for a while, the very lightest weights are the most exciting at the moment, and may just tide us over till we get our heavy hero.

I didnt really care what was on the undercard but its just a plus now that its stacked.

I have been waiting for judah and mayweather to meet for awhile now...

I am really looking forward to this fight card now that the other matches have been solidified. I wasn't sure exactly who would be on it except for the main event and the Arce fight. I am looking forward to seeing the other Cotto and would love to see Juan Diaz shine on a main event since Main Events shoved him away. Chavez, Jr could do with a good showing also since he has been getting a lot of stick lately.

I think Judah losing to Baldomir will have actually done him a favour. Zab is so immature and has such an ego that maybe the loss will have brought him back down to earth and focused him. I think he's gonna come in to the fight more determined than ever now and probably put up a much better fight than he would of done if he had just cruised by Baldomir with an easy win... Having said that I still think mayweather will beat him.

Well, if Judah doesn't grow up and perform with the potential end of his career staring him in the face, he never will.
