BoxingScene.com has been advised that light heavyweight contender Seanie Monaghan (18-0, 11KOs) will open up the HBO Pay-Per-View undercard to Timothy Bradley vs. Juan Manuel Marquez, taking place at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

Monaghan, a popular ticket seller on the East Coast, will make his West Coast debut. 15 of Monaghan's 18 pro bouts have taken place in New York. He signed a promotional agreement with Top Rank last month and gets his first taste of big-card exposure. Monaghan will go up against once-beaten Anthony Caputo Smith (14-1, 10KOs).
