Pacquiao - Cotto undercard about the same as Mayweather - Marquez
The November 14 undercard must have been put together by the Chicago 2016 Olympic Committee because not even President Obama or Oprah could help it.
The main event and three scheduled TV undercard fights reported by Dan Rafael at espn.com are:
Miguel Cotto vs. Manny Pacquiao
Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. (40-0-1) vs. Troy Howland (25-2-7)
Daniel Santos vs. Yuri Foreman
Jesus Soto Karass vs. Alfonso Gomez
I don't know if I would even call this JC Chavez's pro debut. Chavez is certainly here to address the huge Mexican fight fan population and Yuri Foreman will be responsible for the Jewish boxing population. Relax!
Maybe I'm expecting too much, but I'd be happy if it's just a bit better than the Mayweather-Marquez undercard. As long as I'm watching the main event around 11:00 PM Central Time. As long as Rocky Juarez isn't in a court-ordered world title fight rematch. You get the idea.

Although MC has the obvious advantage in size over MP, yet the speed and power of the latter
ReplyDeletewill decide early victory. MC can't hit MP solid punches while the latter has the chances to box at will to a steady target.Taytic
MP WILL WIN THIS GAME JUST LIKE BEFORE. COTTO'S MOTIVATION TO WIN JUST LIKE OTHER BOXERS IS ANGER. NOTE THE EXAMPLE BY HIS COACH. HE WANTED TO FIGHT WITH ROACH. MP'S MOTIVATION WHICH MAKES HIM DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE, IS LOVE...LOVE FOR COUNTRY AND FAMILY! They should learn from him.
