The undercard is interesting. I like watching Santa Cruz,Mares, and Ponce. That being said, I am not paying $70 for an un ! I love boxindercard! I love boxing and have been watching for over 20yrs, but I am not lining Floyds pockets for him to fight this caliber of fighter at this point in his career.
No disrespect to Guererro but Floyd has no business taking a fight like this and expecting fans to pay that much for a PPV this is an HBO fight!
hic
Agreed. This card is light years better than any Top rank bull

I want to watch Santa Cruz, shame he's not stepping up in class a little more
I can't wait to watch Gabriel Rosado and Love, I think that is a potential show stealer. Rosado making his way back
I'm actually kind of meh on Mares/Ponce. It'll probably be a banger and I'll be cheering like a side piece, but at the moment, and prior, I just wasn't feeling the matchup.
As far as the main event? Tyson/Douglas part deux
Santa Cruz is WAYYYY ahead of schedule, about a year ahead. He wasn't supposed to be fighting for a title so early but he was promoted because of his style and has stood up the challenge.
I'm not even sure you can use the "favorite/underdog" logic in this match-up. Rosado is trying to rebuild after a decent run (and a subsequent beat-down) and Love is a hyped-up prospect. It's a pick em fight.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Rosado as a slight underdog here since Love is undefeated and he has a couple of losses.
That's face value stuff right there.
Oddsmakers are usually smarter than this though and I see him being a slight underdog.... +200 max.
It's going to be an uphill battle for him though as that's Mayweather's prospect fighting on Mayweather's card
Biggest potential for an upset with Mares/PDL behind it

People actually think that's a bad undercard?Its a great card but "boxing fans" will find a way to hate on it no matter who is fighting cause of Floyd.
Honestly this card is great...styles make fights and the match ups make for interesting fights. People always talking about how no fans know who these guys are, but lets be honest here,if a fighter is not promoted well and the sport is not promoted well how will they know? UFC is very popular off promotion, but other than the main events most the matches are boring and no one knows any of the fighters. Who wants to see guys hug all day? It's all about promoting.
Mares vs PDL and Love vs Rosado?
These are two fights that would otherwise have their own main event on televised Showtime. This undercard is pretty good. I was expecting for Mares-PDL to be the only good undercard fight.
It would be nice to see Fortuna on the undercard though.
I'm looking forward to Rosado/Love more than any other fight on the card. Ain't that a bitch? lol

I just showed this to one of my casual boxing fan buddy and he has absolutely no idea who those fighters were lol besides Floyd. Good thing casual fans are not the one buying fights... Wait errrrr...
