"Sworn Enemies' on April 8 featuring Floyd Mayweather Jr and Zab Judah is loaded underneath with two world championship bouts and with the son of the legend, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Here is how Top Rank's big fight card is shaping up at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas:
Jorge Arce vs. Rosendo Alvarez
12 Rds., WBC Interim Flyweight Title
Arce and Alvarez had a 'bad encounter' in the ring following Arce's last fight Jan 28 in Cancun, Mexico. After Arce had his hand raised for victory, Alvarez got into the ring, got into Arce's face and told him off to flame this riveting showdown. "Alvarez knows I am the man, the best in this division," said Arce, the champion. Arce is promoted by Top Rank; Alvarez fights for Don King Productions. Arce is 43-3-1; Alvarez, 37-2-2.
Juan 'El Torito' Diaz vs. Jose Miguel Cotto

Diaz: "I want to be the best in my division - that motivates me." Cotto, a tremendously skilled challenger who strikes with power, boxed for Puerto Rico in 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Diaz is promoted by Main Events; Cotto by Top Rank.
Special Attraction - Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 24-0-1
The Son of the Legend, Julio just turned 20 years old. "I'm young, a rookie in this great sport. I want to be a champion like my father and I'm going to work hard to get there."
