Apparently this is more likely than Teon Kennedy as an opponent as Showtime feel Cordoba is more of a name thanks to his exposure in losing to Rigondeux on the Pacquiao-Mosley undercard.

Since Ricardo has lost to both Bernard Dunne and a pro novice in Rigondeux, not to mention he has fought almost exclusively at 122, I really can't see him being able to cope with the power and skill of Juanma. Seems more like a gimme at home before the Marquez rematch and Gamboa fights.
I'm more excited about this fight than the Teon Kennedy fight. And I don't really want to see a Marquez rematch because we already know the outcome, but I understand the point.

I don't personally understand what the Kennedy talk is all about in truth...How the hell is he even really relevant? He has only 15 or so fights, he is not a big puncher and he has not put anyone elite on his resume...So in truth I don't personally think the guy is ready for that level yet, Be it JuanMa, Gamboa, Celeste, RM etc.....I don't dislike the guy as a fighter because he has not been at the upper tier long enough...He has had only about 4 fights with opp that has winning records.....I don;t knhow why they try to rush these guys in fights that they know can not only turn out bad for them but ruin them mentally as a fighter....If there was a choice between the 2 I agree Cordoba would be a more worthy fight
