Michael Katsidis vs Vicente Escobedo confirmed for the Mayweather-Marquez undercard

http://www.thechronicle.com.au/story/2009/08/06/katsidis-eyes-next-title-shot/ Awesome! This card is going to be sweet. And this has to be one of the best under cards for PPV fights in recent years. I never really catch more than 1 of the under cards for the PPV's I have watched but this is one card I will sit through from start to finish. So its going to be Floyd Mayweather vs Juan Manuel Marquez Chris John vs Rocky Juarez II- WBA featherweight championship Michael Katsidis vs Vicente Escobedo- interim WBO lightweight championship Zab Judah vs Antonio Diaz hopefully no one pulls out with an injury...

Judah-Diaz isn't official, is it? I know M. Hatton took the Ndou bout a couple days ago. Judah-Diaz > Judah-M. Hatton boxrec have it down as official.

Guess I'll have to look at some Escobedo fights to get an idea of what Kats is up against. Anyone seen him? I'm glad Kats has another chance to become interim champ. That loss to Casa was so... Argh. He nearly had 'im! :box2:

Katsidis would be a solid test for Ricky Hatton - should he decide to come back.

Does that mean Guzman-Fuenka won't happen? I dont know, looks like there is no room on the televised portion of the card and thats a pretty rich fight that Golden Boy can easily place on the main event of a HBO Boxing After Dark card. Or they can remove Judah and place it on that spot but last I heard the Judah fight was confirmed as well and he is signed with Mayweather. There is already 2 Golden Boy fights and only one Mayweather promotions fight. But who knows.

People can bitch as much as they like about this fight saying its unfair and shit... but the truth is you can't blame them for the card they put together, excellent job on that to be honest.

That is a really, really good card. I can't wait for the show now. I was always going to order it because it is going to be such a big event and the 24/7 was going to lure me in, but hot damn for once it may actually be worth the money in the end. Top Rank has to answer with something similar on Cotto/Pac.
