Pacquiao-Hatton Undercard Loaded With Mismatches!

[mickey malone]

The undercard of the Ricky Hatton vs. Manny Pacquiao bout on May 2nd is going to be loaded with nothing but utter mismatches with light middleweight James Kirkland (25-0, 22 KOs) facing Michael Walker (19-1-2, 12 KOs), and WBC super featherweight champion Humberto Soto will be defending his title against Canadian Benoit Gaudet (20-1, 7 KOs). Russian Matt Korobov (4-0, 4 KOs) will be facing Rodrigo Aguiar (5-4, 3 KOs) in a four round bout, and former Cuban star Erislandy Lara (4-0, 3 KOs) will be fighting Chris Gray (11-7, 1 KOs) in a 4-round bout. Most of these bouts will likely be over by the 1st or 2nd round due to the one-sided nature of them.

The last 2 look that way... No complaints on the rest though..

the kirkland fight will be the very same bro trust me

[aristotlemoses]

the thing i dont like is it seems like kirkland is taking a step down from his last fight and that just doesnt make any sense.
i dont mind a couple prospects in the first fights to get fans more interested in them but atleast have a fight or two that will be decent.
although they probably dont want an undercard fight to outshine the main event.

Is anyone here really surprised that this happened? The most successful PPV ever (Mayweather-DLH) and the biggest one last year (Pacquaio-DLH) had a **** undercard. It only figures that they would follow the same formula.

I'm not buying this. I was burned in the last big PPV (DLH-Pac), and I'm not getting suckered again.

If that's the case then this card might end up like the De La Hoya - Pacquiao fightcard that had 2 2nd round KO's and 1 1st round KO for the televised fights.

Too bad the Luevano - Concepcion had to be axed from the card because of those injuries.

I can't believe that Benoi Gaudet will be in the same ring with Humberto Soto, it's a total mismatch, he has no power,a ''Amir Khan'' chin and is little above average in speed. I will root for Gaudet,but I'm predicting third round knockout for Soto.
