I was really bummed out when I read the article about
Mike Perez pulling out of his much anticipated WBC title
eliminator with Bryant "Bye Bye" Jennings this was going
to be taking place on HBO B.A.D.D. on May 24, 2014 and
it was going to feature a very good undercard Daniel "The
Real" Geale vs. Matthew Macklin and also, Edwin Rodriguez
vs Marcus Johnson and a top Welterweight prospect Dusty
Harrison-Hernandez was going to be featured on that card.
With Mike Perez pulling out that prompted the promoters to
move forward and cancel the entire card because there was
just no way they could find a top ten heavyweight boxer to
take the fight on two weeks notice. I read an article about
Matthew Macklin's "conspiracy theory" saying that he found
it fishy that 24 hours after Mike Perez shoulder injury, there
is already talks about GGG Gennady Golovkin facing Geale on
July 26th on HBO and the prospected venue is in New York.
My question is will this card have any chance of being back
on at a later date later this year or will the card be entirely
canceled? This is a great arena where last November we had
that HBO Triple Main Event featuring Donaire, Garica and also
Demetrius Andrade that event was promoted by Top Rank Inc.
Yes, it certainly was. They are trying to promote more boxing events in Texas I attended the Chavez Jr. Vera II Rematch this past March. K2 Promotions is who promotes The Klitschko Brothers, Gennady Gennadyevich Golovkin, Mike Perez and Jonathan Banks. There is no way that GGG will fight at our local arena he is already a boxing superstar there is already talks about him fighting Daniel Geale at the Theater in Madison Square Garden in New York. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. not electing to fight GGG in Los Angeles this Summer was what I think caused all of these boxing events to get canceled.
I would say probably not because neither guy is a Texas guy, that fight always made more sense on the east coast.
That does suck for you though because that was a really nice heavyweight fight.
