None of the undercard fights figures to be the 2010 Fight of the Year, but there are three attractive bouts. Danny Jacobs, a top Golden Boy prospect who in his young career has been fed more cupcakes than a fat kid on a picnic, will meet Dmitry Pirog for a vacant middleweight title. Robert Guerrero will move up to super lightweight to take on Joel Casamayor in a battle not only of former world champions, but also of former sparring partners. And one-time super hot prospect Jorge Linares will meet Rocky Juarez.
None of them, at least going in, will make you forget Hagler-Hearns or Corrales-Castillo, but they’re good, solid matches. They’re far better than the awful bouts you got beneath the Mayweather-Mosley fight on May 1 or the Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey fight on March 13.

This is the best undercard I’ve seen in a while. It can get better though
