It's good to see that Espinoza knows a great match-up. That also means that he, along with the other sanctioning bodies must also know when they're polishing turds and selling the public unjustified, unqualified crap.

This a great card! Now let's see what we get on April 22nd? So far, it's not all that!!!

Ooohh yeah, I am impressed for sure.
Just like I am impressed with the job he did with making the Bud Crawford and Errol 'the tooth' Spence fight.

Now for his next trick he should try making a fight that does not involve both fighters being Al Hayman, PBC and Mayweather Promoted fighters.

In the glory days, Pre 2016, this would have been a HBO WCB card or a Showtime Championship Boxing Card......or a co-main on a mayweather card.

Don't ever forget Garcia-Mattyhsse was a co-main

[Poopdick]

yeah but too much talking and time between fights. and starts too late. bores me to sleep. I'll stream fight I wanna see ext day

Full boxing cards haven't been a thing since the early to mid 90 cards that would showcase 2 to 4 main even type fights. Today's cards just be blowing smoke up our rears, while emptying our pockets.

This is an exceptionally good fight card, the match ups are blue chip in quality of the fighter's involved.
