Comments Thread For: Martinez-Berchelt as Part of Top Rank MSG Card on June 11?
As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum is looking to stage a big event on June 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Faking the injury really helped the rican out of fighting in mexico and fighting where he has the advantage.
I agree with that situation 100%. New York on Puerto Rico day is a hard task for Berchelt, but that's the type of challenge I want to see. He's getting scammed, now turn the tables. Take this fight, it qualifies as adversity. Blast Martinez in Mexico and no one will notice, do it in NY and he will get respect.
The alacran is still unproven. This can be his coming out party. The string of bums that has fought makes Martinez the best fighter that has ever fought
That would be a great card if Berchelt/Martinez gets added.
Yeah. Curious to see what happens with this card, whether HBO will go for an expanded card in the arena or it gets scaled back for the theare and whether Lomachenko-Walters even stays on it.
If the card ends up just being Verdejo-TBA, Martinez-Berchelt, which I guess is possible, it would be a little disappointing, but I don't know if HBO has the budget for a bigger card (especially Lomachenko-Walters).
But so far, the non-Verdejo fights that have been mentioned as possibilities for this card (Lomachenko-Walters, Martinez-Berchelt, Braehmer-Monahan) would make up a pretty solid PPV, IMO.
