Undercard see's Robert The ghost Guerrero make his way back to HBO's airwaves after his less than broad shouldered exit vs Daud Yordan in March of this year.He will clash with newly crowned ibf Jr lightweight champ Malcolm Klassen 24-4-2 in what should be a good match up.Klassen is a bit of a mystery man to myself with last two fights possibly providing his biggest names with Baloyi and Medina,both had seen better days.

Good deal man, looking forward to this one.

My head says Diaz, but I want Malignaggi to win. He will need to show a lot, lot more than he did against Hatton. That means trying to throw punches and in combination before getting out the way and doing it again. If he can have a decent enough output, he can pull it off. Diaz is just going to work and work and I can't see Paulie worrying him too much with his pitty patter. Needs to rough Diaz up a little and try to cut/swell him up a bit.

It all depends on if Paulie can raise his game like against Cotto or if he is just going to muddle through like against Hatton. He must throw that right though and do if often, because a jab alone is likely not enough.

I don't know enough about Klassen to pick him, from what I've heard he's a serious enough guy, comes to fight type who will throw a fair amount of punches.

Paulie will try to make it ugly, move, clinch, do that thing where he moves then when somebody gets near duck and fall in and clinch, ugly ugly stuff. But it won't be enough.
