Awesome.

Hopefully this means Mares-De Leon is on May 4th.

Is this still a double header.

These guys should wrap themselves up in cotton wool until then!

Matthysse vs Peterson is a much better main event. Alexander is guaranteed to stink that joint up but...

Im still attending the event!

DC would've been more convenient cause of the drive but AC is more neutral.

Finally. That fight in particular is 1 of the most important fights this year. I cannot wait for it.

This fight is almost guaranteed to have little action.

But I'm looking forward to it massively.

Rooting for Brook and exicted to see how he does at this level. I think it's a winnable fight for him.

Sounds good hopefully Matthysse-Peterson can be on this card! If so I'm definitely making the trip down!

Mares-Ponce will be on May 4th now, yes!

This means Mares vs. Ponce will be on May 4th because they aren't going to put that fight on the east coast.

I really want to see this fight, I'm counting on Brook to make it a good one so Devon can show that he's willing to fight too. Pretty sturdy WW, I think he's physically strong enough to keep Devon off of him and keep the action flowing. If there is good ref maybe this one might be better than expected. Slightly edging toward Devon because of his experience but Kell seems to have the speed for that level, even though it's a leap in class.
