Meh. Pretty weak undercard. I'll be there but, other than the main event, there is not a single intriguing fight. Typical Bob Arum "showcase" fights. Outcomes already determined.

Crap undercard IMO. Barrera is a decent welterweight through. Zero skill but will definitely bring it guns-a-blazin toward Adames. I respect any fighter who shows up to win in each bout. I personally think he was robbed against Gibson. I know little about Adames...but Barrera is a C+/B-fighter IMO.

Like I said earlier, Showtime gives us great "cards," others give us great "fights!" At least we're not asked to pay $70 for Loma vs. Linares! Beggars can't be choosy!

Is this going to be on ESPN or the ESPN app that they’re shoving down our throats?

[rolshans]

Anyone know if there are plans to push this fight back later in the night since the Canelo/GGG replay won't be on?

Nope. GB's Ryan Garcia is gonna be a star!

I like Conlon a lot also.

They can't have stacked cards when they need to put on over 30 shows a year for ESPN & ESPN+.
