It started innocently enough — doesn’t it always — before the bad blood surfaced between middleweights Gabriel Rosado and Willie Monroe. Each was once proposed to face 160-pound titleholder Billy Joe Saunders on the Sept. 17 undercard of Canelo Alvarez vs. Liam Smith, only for Saunders to turn down those fights and an appearance on the show altogether. Instead, Rosado and Monroe will meet each other.
Even though Billy Joe Saunders isn’t appearing on the undercard to Canelo Alvarez vs. Liam Smith, we may still end up seeing Alvarez’s next opponent on the Sept. 17 pay-per-view show.
