Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Guillermo Rigondeaux undercard revealed

Post by Ruthless-RKO »

Michael Conlan, Shakur Stevenson and Mikaela Mayer will complete their first season as professionals on the undercard of the historic collision between world champions Vasyl Lomachenko and Guillermo Rigondeaux on Saturday, December 9, at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

The four-bout telecast, headlined by Lomachenko vs. Rigondeaux, will be televised live and exclusively at 9:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. PT on ESPN and ESPN Deportes and streamed live on the ESPN App.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The televised undercard will feature two-time Irish Olympian Conlan (4-0, 4 KOs), from Belfast, a former Olympic bronze medalist, returning to The Garden for the first time since his show-stopping pro debut, which took place on St. Patrick’s Day in front of a sellout crowd. He will be taking on Luis Fernando Molina (4-3-1, 1 KO), from Pablo Podestȧ, Buenos Aires, Argentina, in a six-round featherweight bout.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Undefeated top-10 contender Christopher Diaz (21-0, 13 KOs), from Barranquitas, Puerto Rico, who won all his fights in 2017 by way of knockout, will battle Casey Ramos (24-1, 6 KOs), from Austin, TX., in a 10-round bout for the vacant NABO junior-lightweight title.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The telecast will open with Newark’s 2016 U.S. Olympic silver medalist Stevenson (3-0, 1 KO), who spent most of his training camp sparring with Lomachenko, facing Oscar Mendoza (4-2, 2 KOs), of Santa Maria, Calif. Mendoza has won all of his fights this year, with the last two coming by way of knockout. Their featherweight bout is scheduled for six-rounds. Stevenson made his Garden debut on May 20, where he stopped Carlos Suarez in the first round.

I like it. Good looks at young talent. Of course, I set my undercard expectations low. Would not surprise me if Diaz v Ramos turns out to be more action packed than the main.

Casey Ramos schooled a boxer that I used to be friends with but screwed me over pretty bad lol. For that I’m a fan haha! Always excited to see him fight. I like the card. If there’s anything I’m not excited about it’s that it’s on ESPN and we have to listen to Teddy Atlas all night. For me that’s the biggest downside to this card lol

Other than the Main Event, it's nothing to get too excited about.

No definately not to get excited.. undercards are never always top notch. Some good prospects though. A few prospects fighting before the main event.

For a fight like this the undercard suggests all the money is going to the main event, it's not like we haven't seen this before.

BTW, ive watched Loma-Salido again. I really cannot believe how many cheap shots to the groin Lomachenko absorb during the fight and still was able step on the gas in 12 round. His nickname should not be "Hi-tech" but "Balls of iron"
