Mayweather vs. Ortiz Undercard Set

The undercard fight for the upcoming Mayweather vs. Ortiz welterweight fight was finally set, and the four fights is surely a masterpiece to Golden Boy when it comes to action and matchmaking. Mayweather and Ortiz will meet in the main event at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and the fight alone will sell the pay-per-view to over a million homes. There's no way the fight will underperform over pay-per-view, as Mayweather's absences lately made his heart grow fonder for his dedicated fans, and he wants to give them some action. 




Mayweather vs. Ortiz



Here's the scheduled undercard fight for Mayweather vs. Ortiz main event.


WBC Junior Middleweight Title,  12 Rounds
Saul "Canelo" Alvarez" (37-0-1, 27 KO) vs. Alfonso Gomez (23-4-2, 12 KO)


A physical mismatch on paper, but has fine potential as a fight. Alvarez, a 21 year old boxer, is exagerrating when he says Gomez, 30, is one of the best in the world  but I guess we can't judge him because it was based on his opinion.


WBC Junior Welterweight Title, 12 Rounds
Erik Morales (51-7-0, 35 KO) vs. Jorge Barrios (50-4-1, 35 KO)


A great match up for Golden Boy. Two great fighters known to give some sort of action. I'm quite sure that this is going to be a war, a war between great fighters and I'm sure that in the succeeding rounds of this fight, we will able to see some knock down or something. 


Junior Welterweights, 10 Rounds
Jessie Vargas (16-0-0, 9 KO) vs. Josesito Lopez (29-3-0, 17 KO)


Here's a good fight without any issues whatsoever. Vargas, 22, has recently blown through Vivian Harris and Walter Estrada in his last two fights. It wasn't an amazing win after all, but they were solid for where he was at the present, and now he wants to take on tough fighter, Lopez, 27 years old. You might be familiar with Lopez if you're  a Friday Night Fights regular. There are some things to complain about this match up, but I guess the match up speaks for himself. They want to give some action.
