What a shame... Poor guy. Big fight on his brother's PPV and now it won't even be televised. I was really looking forward to it as well.

I'm more disappointed at the fact I can't see Figueroa fight. That kid has a lot to learn, but I was excited to see how much he's developed since that Arakawa war.

Same here man. He is an exciting fighter to watch... His war against Arakawa was a classic and to have them both on the same card in different fights was awesome.

ricardo alvarez isn't anything special, i wouldn't doubt if he loses to Yeyo. Omar is a big light weight, i think he probably had a hard time making weight but was also sore from his hands bcuz lets face it he's always going to have hand problems. He probably couldn't cut the weight and thats why his fight is being rescheduled for april.

this card shouldn't even be on PPV but since hbo has pacman vs bradley then cotto vs martinez, showtime had to do another ppv instead of just mayweathers ppv

Good news; Omar Figueroa has pulled out
Bad news; You're now fighting Sergio Thompson

Alvarez going in2 the lion's den vs Yeo, a different type guy that's physical, far more than Omar, can punch & (not the brittle handed Omar in his last fight, & a possible career threatening problem, i's happening 2 often now) is knows how 2 apply pressure....Thompson via late round tko...
