It is a PPV undercard fight, which pretty much means he will be matched up to look like a million bucks.

I just hope the guy he fights is halfway decent though, someone that atleast tries to win even if they have no real hope of winning.

It says he might fight Sergei at the end of June but then it says he has been officially added to the Hatton-Pacquiao undercard.

I guess his fight will be a gimme, quick ko fight?

The article says most likely it will be "Chicago native Michael Walker."

19 (KO 12) + lost 1

He beat Antwun Echols in 10/08. Other than that don't know **** about the guy:

I was thinking the same thing. I was thinking they are going to look at like maybe Alex Bunema for Kirkland to get a ko. Which imo would be a slap in the face to the fans. We deserve better fights.

I would probably be pleased if they matched him with Bunema, that is how accustomed I am to sub par undercard fights lol.

I expect nothing when it comes to undercard fights atleast until I see otherwise. It is pretty sad though because undercard fights on big time PPV can really help to build the stars of tomorrow, but I guess the short term costs outweigh the long term benefits.
