This fight was announced weeks ago for the Canelo/GGG PPV undercard. Looks like with Joseph Diaz vs Jorge Lara about to be finalized they are putting that on the undercard and bumping up the Orozco fight to HBO the week after. That's a great move for Orozco he goes from being maybe the opening fight on the PPV to now co-main event.

Mikey Garcia could make some pretty good business moves with GBP within the next year. First Linares then Orozco for possibly a vacant 140lb belt. Fireworks in both of those fights.
