    Though Lucas should be favored.

    And people need to remember what Morales is.
    I think it can be. I'm banking that Morales will have one of those nights that surprise us all again. Thus making it a good match up.

    But, he's a shot blown up featherweight. How many of those nights can he have. This could very well be a blowout. Very easily which will not make it a good match up. So I can see RubenSonny point.

    But, I'm banking on Morales not only on having one of them nights. But, also Matthysse not being as good as some might think which could make the fight somewhat competitive.

      If you don't like it, don't watch it. Nothing is ever good enough. Morales has been shot for a while now. But I hated on him for the Maidana fight and he proved me wrong. He deserves a spot in a big PPV, Barrios doesn't. That's who I had a problem with. Now Matthysse is much better.

        I'm somewhat worried that it might be like the Corley fight.

        Where Maidana struggled badly and Lucas destroyed Corley.

        I'm little worried about that happening with Morales.

While I agree Judah that version of Judah wasn't much better I'd still class him as better and to be fair that was Matthysses big fight - hes look a bit better against Alexander which he deserved to win. I'm looking forward to Vargas fight for sure though. Canelos fight isn't bad either, I would've like to see Quillin on there too but oh well.
          The one fighter I want to see the most is Jesse Vargas.

          The more meaningful fight is Floyd-Ortiz obviously.

          And, i see what you're saying and I agree. But, I can't help but being more intrigued about the Morales-Matthysse match up then the any other fight on this card. It just something about Morales -it could be that I'm living off yesteryear- that always pulls me in. And, I'm not so sure if Matthysse is the truth or not.

          And, Canelo-Gomez meh I can do without.

            But, it could also be a barnburner. It's Morales after all. I'm just banking on Morales to have an 1/8 of gas left in his tank. because, that's all he will need to make this a good fight.

              Yeah Vargas is my boy, I got high hopes for him, I'm pretty excited for this card, I think it will be a good night of boxing just don't like to see Morales take punches at this point.

                Order of fights for #starpower are Lopez-Vargas, Morales-Matty in Vegas, then Canelo-Gomez in LA and then May-Ortiz in LV #boxing
                This is a very interesting card that could provide 4 early KO's.

                    I'll be paying attention to Steve Kim and Doug Fischer because they were mentioning that Morales had looked good in sparring before the Maidana fight.

                    Hopefully we get the same signals this time around.

                    Also hopefully Morales can keep both his eyes for a longer period of time this time around.

                    I'm hyped for this match-up.
