Uchiyama on Pacquiao undercard?!?!

[Hougigo]

A fight being tossed around for the Pac-Bradley II undercard is Takashi Uchiyama vs Jose Felix for the WBC 130-pd title #boxing

Yay, but then no unification fight

[Hougigo]

It's being tossed around.... so nothing solid. But would make sense if Bob is trying to set him up for Garcia.
That or Bob's just into making a good fight.

That would be cool,,, It would showcase uchiyama to the american public, and help setup a big unification in the fall with mikey garcia

Jose Felix Jr. still a TR fighter, so he could be trying to make a belt grab. And with the IBF still up in question and Miura showing up better than Uchiyama last time (although against lesser opposition), Bob might feel like he has a good chance against Uchiyama.

If this happens.... this has to be one of the best undercards they've put on for a Pac fight in a while

Uchiyama gettin US exposure??? I sure hope so!! It'd be great for him and the sport, could help make a future Mikey fight.

[Hougigo]

Then again... I don't think Felix Jr. is ready for this kind of fight...kid's still just a prospect

Would've been sweeter if the WBA/WBC unified, IMO.
But it'd be bigger in Japan

Mikey's next fight at 130 is supposed to be his last. They want him for Pacquiao.

Then it could be a belt grab by Arum....which is a dumb move....if this happens

The Pac v Mikey fight is not happening anytime soon. Mikey will have to move up 3 divisions. That's not happening, ARum knows how to build most events, this just isn't worth it...yet.
