I'm not recognizing many of the names on there, and the few i do recognize, i've never heard of their opponents.
I'm getting the PPV anyway, the undercard is really just there to give me time to get thoroughly tossed before the main event, but do you think it'll be alot of short knockout fights a few distance fights? (i need to know how fast i need to drink)
It would have been a better card if Luevano wasn't injured and Kirkland didn't get into trouble with the law. Nonetheless, hopefully it won't be a stinker.
Only just realised Luevano dropped out there now, is Concepcion fighting some random at short notice or not fighting at all? Havent seen him yet (that I know of, I've seen 100s boxers whos names I dont know!) and wanted to check him out.

Well in the UK it should be alright.
Heres the sky card
Saturday, May 2
IBO Light-Welterweight title
Ricky Hatton v Manny Pacquiao
WBO Featherweight Title
Steve Luevano v Bernabe Concepcion
European Light-Middleweight title
Jamie Moore v Roman Dzuman
C'wealth Super-bantamweight title
Rendall Munroe v Isaac Netty
British heavyweight title
Danny Williams v John McDermott
Highlighted ones are well worth a watch.
If only Luevano didnt call in sick in a desperate attempt to extend the lease on his belt We'd have at least 1 semi-decent undercard.
I think they should move Abner Mares to the televised portion of the card thogh.
Yeah they had a tough break with Leuevano and Kirkland having to pull out, oh well. It's still going to be a great night and I can't fuking wait.
I don't think it's that bad considering Yahoo will be streaming the pre-ppv undercard.

of course.....i nominate the worse undercard boxer of all time....Jeffrey Resto...That was horrendous, he came in as like a 5'11 stick figue of a jr. welter against victor ortiz, for the undercard of pac-oscar.....that was soooo ****ing bad.
I dont expect it to get much better.
