Things happen...cuts, assumptions, blind hash smoking judges, a guy resenting being so blatantly overlooked and refusing to play the foil...never really know.

Soto vs Matthysse is just a quality scrap and cannot wait for the leather to sort out the night.
Josesito Lopez is no walkover for Surfer Vic, and if Ortiz lost that would take all the glitter off the fight with Canelo in September. I expect Vic to be ready for Lopez however, and take care of business.

I agree that Soto - Matthysse should be a good one, I like both guys, they usually give it their all.

Except for having to listen to Gus Johnson on Showtime, it should be a decent night of boxing for us fans. That's why god created beer/whiskey and the mute button.
