    As of now, I'm not too amped over it.

    Probably will change when I order the PPV. Hope it's not a total blowout.

      I don't doubt Bradley/Manny would be closer it's just that Bradley lacks that star like exposure that would make this a grand stage event.

      I think both fights are just rebuttals to lesser opponents for Manny/May never coming to fruition (obviously). Therefore neither event seems as climatic to me.

          That is exctly how I see it. Very smart post!

          I know the quality of boxer that FMJr. is but he is playing with fire and he may get burned.

          FMJr. may win the fight but its going to be a difficult battle, hell, I belive that Miguel will make Floyd kiss the canvas at least once....and I must say, if Floyd beats Miguel without controvercy Ill give him 150% credit and my full support!

          War Miguel!

                  I feel you, to be honest, the only thing that is making me order this fight is that Cotto's Achilles heal is volume punching pressure fighters with a good punch. Mayweather isn't a pressure fighter and his punch at 154 doesn't seem drastic. Therefore I just want to see how long Cotto holds or make it half way decent because of such.

                  As for Gamboa/Rios, man that **** help ruin 2012 for boxing's great potential scraps. I was equally let down.

                    yea, the 'maybe he gets old overnight' angle is what's gonna make me order it...dont know much else about the card besides the shane-canelo fight
