    I've been waiting to see how good Foreman is. I always see him in Everlast magalogs, so I gotta see what the hype is all about.

      Foreman is probably the future of the division from the things ive heard, but they always overhype these guys.

      Thompson is a very good fighter, and if Foreman gets by him impressively i wouldnt be to surprised if he was succesful in the division

        Soto should be fighting for a belt. He easily beat Juarez and hes been stuck fighting lower level competition while Rocky has already gotten two title shots! Its bull****.

        Ill pay for the Cotto fight in itself so its all good I guess. Plus watching Soto kill Bobby Pac will be entertaining. Chavez Jr. is pretty entertaining, and I saw Thompson fight before, hes pretty good.

          First of all, Soto will probably get M. Pacquiao next. The name of the fight will be "revenge" or something. lol

          Second of all, B. Pacquioa has a habit of shocking people, and i think he'll put on a good show for us. He's just as entertaining as his brother if you ask me.

          And all the fights on the PPV card are very well matched, except for the Julio Cesar Chavez JR. fight. But he's being showcased right now.

            He had a couple of impressive wins, but Kelly has been past it for a while now, and a lot of people say the other fight was a robbery. He looked pretty good against Navarro. Hes not on the level of Soto though.

              Looks like a good night of fights. I will probably buy the ppv on the main event alone. To see if Cotto is for real or if Judah still has something left. I've seen Soto fight before and was very impressed and the times i've seen B. Pacquiao he has been very exiting. So I expect Soto to win easily, but B. Pac to have his moments. I've seen Chavez Jr. once and want to see how godd Yuri Foreman, heard good things about him.

                For a PPV its actually pretty lackluster.

                But the matches each have their intrigue
                Soto vs Pacquiao will be an all action affair, it also might give somewhat of a backstory to a Humberto Soto vs Manny Pacquiao matchup in the future.

                Chavez vs Wiley? It was Chavez vs Stewart, guess they changed it. Wiley is a step below where Stewart was, but Wiley has a history with Chavez since he retired his father. Chavez jr. already chickened out of this fight once, I guess we will see alittle more of what he has.

                Foreman and Thompson are two prospects at almost the exact same points in their careers. This is literally a crossroads bout for them as one will continue his assent, the other one will take a step back.

                So though these isnt alot of "Sizzle" to this steak, there actually is some good meat below the surface for boxing fans.
