great undercard. puello - matias and morrell - khataev are much better than berlanga - sheeraz. why are they not mentioned in the title?

[Malvado]

That's quite the quality of a card.

Shakur Stevenson vs William Zepeda
Alberto Puello vs Subriel Matías
David Morrell vs Iman Khataev

And there might be other fighters in the undercard yet to see!

About Berlanga vs Sheeraz, honestly I think Edgar is going to get starched even if Hamzah is coming off a supbar performance where he should had lost and going up. In terms of skill, Berlanga is no Adames, he won't be able to exploit Hamzah's weaknesses. He won't also have the few advantagous conditions Carlos had at the fight. The 6'3 former Middleweight Champion's conditioning is no longer affected from weight cutting and will likely recover from his hand injury he had early in the fight.

You want me to believe Edgar will win? despite being beat up and knocked down by a 154 pounder (Erickson Lubin) in sparring, along with struggling immensely with Roamer Alexis Angulo who was inactive and in his late 30s, and getting rocked, dropped and almost stopped by Marcelo Coceres who was KOd by Pillowfist Joe Saunders?

Now THAT will keep me up into the small hours - great card

Very good card. Hope Zepeda retires the runner Stevenson for good. Stevenson is bad for boxing as he is often too cowardly. Also picking wins for Matias, Sheeraz and Morrell.

[Mikedadon]

Good and exciting card Berlanga should be able to either stop or decision sheeraz pretty easily that fight is the least appealing

zepeda vs stevenson is going to be fight of the year I literally can't wait for that

Puella should stops Matias. Matias is so overrated, puella needs a big fight at 140

morrel vs khataev will be very exciting for however long it lasts, khataev fought Whittaker in Tokyo at the Olympics games he is not coming to play

[kiaba360]

Puello vs. Matias is the match-up I'm most interested in.

[The tucker]

Let me guess this will be invite only and they will be fighting in the middle of the street?
