undisputedchamp Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Oscar De La Hoya did say recently in an interview that he was going to try and secure a meaningful heavyweight title fight for Luis Ortiz on the Alvarez-Khan undercard on 5/7/16 now that appears to be off? The pay per view portion of the under card appears to be now finalized. What are your thoughts on the pay per view card Golden Boy has put together? WBC/Ring Magazine Middleweight Championship Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs. Amir Khan Middleweights 12 Rounds David Lemieux vs. Glen "Jersey Boy" Tapia Welterweights 12 Rounds Mauricio "El Maestro" Herrera vs. Frankie Gomez Middleweights 10 Rounds Patrick Teixeira vs. Curtis Stevens *card subject to change* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Re: Louis Ortiz not going to be part of Alvarez-Khan Golden Boy Promotions undercard? I'm much more interested in Lemieux-Tapia than Lemieux-De La Rosa, so bring it ! Tapia may actually improve as a MW, not have to drain himself to death. Plus, he's had more time now with Freddy Roach. In fact he will have been training without an actual fight for an entire year. That means they've had a chance to develop new muscle memories, without getting derailed by actual bouts. It's not exactly an important fight, though. But heck, if they actually did have Ortiz on that card, Canelo-Kahn could have been the UNDERcard. :laugh: Edited March 23, 2016 by Cableaddict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undisputedchamp Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Re: Louis Ortiz not going to be part of Alvarez-Khan Golden Boy Promotions undercard? I was actually looking forward to watching Lucas Matthysse vs. Mauricio Herrera I think that's the match that would have stolen the show. Now Mauricio Herrera is fighting Frankie Gomez a top Welterweight blue chip prospect he was actually scheduled to fight Humberto Soto instead another Welterweight prospect promoted by Golden Boy Antonio Orozco ended up fighting him instead. I should be a great match. I hope Frankie Gomez doesn't think he's going to be using Mauricio Herrera as a "stepping stone" this will be his toughest test to see if he's ready for the next level of boxing competition in his pro career. I'm rooting for Mauricio "El Mae'stro" Herrera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Matthysse appears to have a serious eye injury worse than diagnosed before. That would have a early FOTY candidate similar to Matthysse-Provodnikov from last year.

Cableaddict Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Re: Louis Ortiz not going to be part of Alvarez-Khan Golden Boy Promotions undercard? Still absolutely nothing on the horizon for Luis Ortiz. Incredible. He will surely be ducked all the way into retirement. Such is boxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The monetary return equally bad, enough for plenty of bums, but nothing for a PPV undercard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
