So we know that Canelo is going to be fighting one of the Super-middleweight Champions on this card. Who is will be we don't know yet.

Turkish wants all Mexican/Mexican-American on one side against the best of the rest on the other.

So who else do you think will make it?

Will Richard Torrez Jr count on the Mexican side? He's the best Heavyweight I can think of for Mexico right now?

Moving down in weight we have the winner of the proposed bout between Gilberto Ramirez & David Benavidez.

If Vergil Ortiz gets past Boots would he get on the show?

Ernesto "Super" Mercado might be an outside shout at Lightwelter. Also Isaac Cruz or Oscar Duarte if he overcomes Hitchins.

Figueroa at Featherweight has been mentioned.

And Bam Rodriguez is a big favourite of Turki.

Any other fighters being rumoured to be on the show or is it too early to tell yet?

Between Mexico and Mexican Americans, there are some very high level boxers and prospects. Let's hope they're matched competitively rather than onesided.

These are all the Mexican and mexican-americans (confirmed heritage) in the top 15 in any division:
Richard Torrez, Andy Ruiz*, Zurdo, Benavidez, Diego Pacheco, Canelo, Munguía, Jesús Ramos, Isaac Lucero, Jorge García Pérez, Vergil Ortiz, Fundora, Ryan Garcia, Jose Carlos Ramirez, Mario Barrios, Curiel, Isaac Cruz, Arnold Barboza, William Zepeda, Muratalla, Navarrete, Eduardo Núñez, Eduardo Hernández, Óscar Valdez, Mauricio Lara, Espinoza, Nery, Brandon Figueroa, Bryan Mercado, David Picasso, Sebastian Hernandez, Celex Castro, José Sánchez, Christian Medina, Jose Salas, David Cuéllar, Estrada, Bam Rodríguez, Christopher López, Pedro Guevara, Willibaldo García, Francisco Rodríguez, Yoali Mosqueda, Angel Ayala, Joselito Velásquez, Ricardo Sandoval, Sergio Mendoza, Erik Badillo, Aarón De La Cruz, Russell Acosta.

There's quite a few female boxers too. So there's plenty to choose from but I doubt it will be all the big names only.

I left out Ryan Garcia because he's Ryan Garcia.

Canelo vs Mbilli with Sheeraz vs Pacheco as undercard If Ortiz can get past Ennis, he would not be an undercard fighter

Any number of good Mexican fighters you could put on the card. A pretty wide range of big matchups you could have them involved in.

Bam Rodriguez is definitely gonna be on the card. David Benavidez probably won't like the idea of being on Canelo's undercard so I wouldn't look for him to be there. Vergil Ortiz if he fought Boots Ennis, win or lose would surely still be a big enough name to throw onto the card.

I'd like to see Bam take on Seiya Tsutsumi or someone like that.

An opponent for Canelo is being finalized according to Turki

I thought Mbili was Canelo's opponent....

I really hope so. Love that fight

So now that Canelo v Mbilli is (about to be) confirmed, who's next?

I think Munguia will be in undercard...maybe against Sheeraz?

Possibly. Or maybe Adames, who's moving up.

I have a feeling we might see Emanuel Navarrete v O'Shaquie Foster on this card.

Maybe also Rafael Espinoza v Bruce Carrington.

They'll want another big fight at Middleweight or above though. So that will probably be Muguia v Sheeraz

If Garcia Benn gets made for Sept 12th the only thing that could make this day more complete for me would be West Ham v Millwall that morning

Football at 7am, the Saudi Card from 10am-3pm then the Garcia Benn stuff from about 5pm.

Defo a BBQ at my place. You're all welcome, as long as you don't smoke fags. Ganja is ok though.

Canelo fight has been rescheduled for Halloween so I am guessing this whole concept is moving or just cancelled.

Which really pisses me off by the way. I'd like to see the Canelo fight Live, but there's no way on f*cking Earth that I'm going to sit at the house and watch Boxing when it's Halloween and Saturday Night at the same time

End of the month.

So what else is on this card besides Canelo vs Mbili. We're only a little less than 4 weeks out. Surely they've got some undercard bouts lined up by now right?

I heard Prince Patel is now headlining

Worst year of Boxing ever. Wardley vs Dubois and Inoue vs Nakatani have been pretty much the only interesting and competitive bouts the entire year.

There's some decent enough names on there but theres not many competitive fights. It's a spectacle for Mexico, not a packed competitive card that we have seen before.

Viva Mexico!

News: Per sources, if #CaneloMbilli goes forward Oct. 31 in Riyadh, the likelihood is that the DAZN broadcast team will not be ringside and will call the card remotely from a studio in London. #boxing

This is just silly now.

A few people I know are on the way or headed to Riyadh for #CaneloMbilli. They are not flying to Riyadh. They’re flying to the country of Bahrain and then driving 5+ hours or so to Riyadh. #boxing
