I bought my tickets for the event yesterday. I'm hoping for a decent undercard - considering the fight will be televised on HBO PPV...
I'm hoping Felix Verdejo gets a spot on the undercard.
Maybe even put Lomachenko on there...
Unfortunately, Golden Boy wouldn't let Velez fight Gradovich on the card. That would've been a good fight. It's quite stupid for Golden Boy to deny their fighter a title shot over personal grudges. But my understanding is that the televised undercard will consist of a Dibella fight, a Cotto fight, and a Lewkowicz fight. Oddly enough, no Top Rank fights on the undercard.
Or Jose fighting for a world title
Hahah yeah, I forgot about Jose Cotto. It's still amazing to me how he was able to hurt Canelo in their fight. That's the only time I can recall seeing Canelo hurt like that.
I'm hoping to see Felix Verdejo & Jayson Velez on there....
I'm trying to think of any Argentino prospects, but I can't...though an Alex DeJesus-Cesar Cuenca rematch would be awesome...
I wanna go big cotto fan but the fight is same time as hall of fame weekend. I can't do both chose hall of fame to see Tito de la hoya and callable. Ill just have a fight party Saturday night and enjoy the fight at my house
Even if Cotto didn't demand so much of the money from the budget. And even if it was Top Rank who had the rights to the co main event, the undercard would still suck!! It's TOP RANK!! Lol Billy Dib fought as the co main event FFS on their last ppv. Smh that tells u all u need to know.
Cotto evidently holds rights to the co-main.... So it'll be one of his fighters. I'm not expecting much
lol we'll probably see Abner Cotto in the co-main
I'm a big Cotto fan but he's gotten into the habit of commanding so much of the budget for his main events that his undercards suffer. If I were you Id plan for a nice night out on the town and an arrival time to MSG soley for the big fight. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Yeah, I'm planning on spending the whole day there & going to the parade the next day. It should be a blast regardless of the undercard.....but yeah, I'm having a hard time seeing this being a good undercard.
