Re: Mayweather- De La Hoya Undercard
When I bought my ticket the I emailed Golden Bwoy & got the initial makings of the matches prior to the mega bout!
Good stuff already cooking up in the way of Bautista against Medina.
Alex "Bazooka" John Banal is a fine Philippine prospect that should make a hell of a statement. From what I understand he's a hellacious puncher for a toddler.
As far as who he's fighting? No word yet.
There were initial talks of a middleweight match up...but it has apparently been scrapped to my (admittedly limited) knowledge at this point. Not sure who GBP pushes at 160lbs anymore though.
Usually on the big cards they have atleast 4-5 fights.
Honestly...I always dig on the build up fights...sets a great pace.

Bazooka is dynamite. Fought on the undercard of Gorres - Montiel along with Bautista, he won't disappoint. He's already being groomed as the next big Filipino star, he was supposed to fight on that World Cup of Boxing but that fell through, glad I get to see him on TV again. I hope he gets matched competitively. Very skilled fighter, with explosive power he is going to make some big waves.
I'm also excited about Juarez - Hernandez. Hernandez is the guy who sparked Litzau after being pretty well dominated. But what gets me excited for this one is Hernandez' fight with Antonio Escalante. VERY exciting fight in that one, Hernandez is a very well paced fighter and he always makes things interesting, this bout with Juarez should be a war.
And of course Bautista - Medina is on the undercard, which really speaks for itself. This is coming together very nicely!
Re: Mayweather- De La Hoya Undercard
I spoke to Golden Boy`s Craig McEwan , who is back in Britain after impersonating Joe Calzaghe as Peter Manfredo`s sparring partner for the last six weeks . He reckons that he is pencilled in on the De La Hoya , Mayweather undercard . He tells me that , as yet , no opponent has been lined up and he knows of no other bouts arranged .
For those of you who don`t know Craig , he is a slick , fast moving , switch hitting south paw who so impressed Freddie Roach at his Wild Card Gym in Hollywood , that he approached Golden Boy with a personal recommendation .
Golden Boy seem to be signing up crowd pleasers who can win big fights so its not just me who thinks Craig is worth watching.

Not exactly the way to ensure great fights.
Margarito vs Williams.. Don't know what is happening with this fight but it should be very fan friendly and would be great exposure for both guys..
Maybe something like Duddy vs Mora, that would be a good scrap, not great fighters but they'd match up nicely.
I guess Marquez vs Barrera 2 isn't realistic for this date, though I'd love to see it.
Arce vs Vic I would say but I think Arce may be fighting too soon to the date?
Roy Jones vs Clinton Woods? Maybe not realistic, no reason it shouldn't be though unless the fighters don't want it..
Miranda vs Pavlik was a great call, that would be perfect, just the kind of fight they need to try and lock.
I like the Duddy Vs Mora fight 8)
