Mikey vs Linares, Matthysse vs Cano, Cuadras vs Estrada. Probably too expensive to put an undercard like that together, but a really stacked event would be ideal.
I forgot linares was with GB, but i think that fight is too big for a co-feature, Linares will likely lap up more UK £££ before he takes on Mikey in a huge fight, why not take Turbo terry and luke cambell in extremely easy paydays?
Cano is a much weaker opponent than Taylor, & lucas is what, 35? hes got 2, 3 max more fights in him so no time for c/d level opponents like Cano...

Tuereno is fighting Derevyanchenko
Have the negotiations been concluded? I only heard it had been ordered. I think Golden Boy would rather withdraw Tureano from that and have him lose to one of their own fighters (Lemieux, Quigley or Falcao) rather than one of Haymon's, especially on a big PPV undercard
It's got to be Gonzalez vs Srisaket II
Cuadras vs Estrada would also be amazing
And for Golden Boy, maybe Lemieux vs Tureano?

Highly doubt we see Jacobs or any Haymon guy on this card. Probably not even any Arum guys which leaves little hope for a good co main event. Maybe Lucas or Gonzalez against someone half decent is the best we can hope for.
Jacobs has apparently been talking to HBO people about coming back over their side.
Unlikely but not impossible.
... Matthysse and Lemieux will both fight in that event, because they're GBP... but I don't think they will get top opponents from Al Haymon's stable...

Diaz Jr vs Valdez
Joseph Diaz Jr vs Oscar Valdez (WBO 126lb champion)
.
Jo-Jo is the goods, and you're supposed to use these big stages to try and launch talents that could turn into money generators.
Whether he's good enough to beat either guy isn't of concern to me; he's been a pro fighter for 5 years already, and it's almost to that point where it's time to see how good is he really.
Mikey Garcia vs Jorge Linares would be my ideal co-main.

That'd be perfect, tbh, but I think that Showtime sees more value in that fight than Alvarez is likely to see in setting that as his chief support imo.
a good pick though
