Three undercard matchups have been confirmed for the Showtime PPV lineup headlined by WBC and IBF welterweight champion Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. and WBA welter champ Yordenis Ugas squaring off in a unification clash on April 16 live from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Lightweight contender Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz (22-2-1, 15 KOs) takes on former world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (30-4, 18 KOs) in the 10-round co-feature. Unbeaten lightweight Jose Valenzuela (11-0, 7 KOs) battles former world champion Francisco “El Bandido” Vargas (27-3-2, 19 KOs) in a 10-rounder, plus unbeaten welterweight Cody Crowley (20-0, 9 KOs) faces “The Riverside Rocky” Josesito Lopez (38-8, 21 KOs) in a 10-round encounter that kicks off the telecast.
Hopefully Lopez has something left. This may be the end for Gamboa, once and for all.
Yuriorkis Gamboa:
– Currently listed as “inactive” on BoxRec.
– Last win was almost 3 years ago (July 2019).
– I don’t see the fire in him anymore………
Crowley vs Lopez will be a fun fight to watch !
Ugas beat Crawford in the amateurs’ and is the one name Crawford dont bring up. Ugas is better than most people give him credit and handily beat Paq up bad and retired him. Props to Spence continuing to fight the best after a long layoff, its a tough fight he wont get much credit. And Ugás looks jacked like never before and appears ready to take over 147lbs.
Bro, stop bringing up what anybody did in the amateurs! They are no longer in their late teens, cutting their teeth fighting each other! They are grown men now!!
Going to this. Was hoping for a better undercard as it’s selling pretty badly
NICE!!!! have fun bud… im sure its gonna be amazing.. Undercard is half descent. shld be some descent scraps
Yeah awesome fight crowd in Dallas. I did Canelo BJS and it was immense.
Just another middle finger to the fans from the bag of the year, Al Haymon. The undercard is full of shot fighters. Thanks Al.
I agree the undercard is weak, but not filled with shot fighters. Gamboa, Vargas and especially Josesito Lopez still very capable, I see them more like gate keepers rather than shot fighters.For sure the card doesn’t deserve to be a PPV.
agreed Burucho.. good enough to give us some good entertainment.
On the Showtime part of the undercard, they have Stanionis – Butaev. That might end up being the fight of the night. Should be a great one!
Good card…I got Gas winning but Spence may get the decision.
Winner fights Crawford , or quits the sport
C’mon when Spencer is gona fight Crawford or Thurman???
I favor Spence. However, I am developing a strange feeling to pick Ugas because his style, range and boxing mean streak are a hot mess for all opponents. I am taking a look at Ugas’ inside boxing skills because he will need it against Spence. Dang, still thinking about this scrap.
I am looking forward to seeing Cruz because I hope to see him utilize his jabs more for closing the distance and to see him cut off the ring better.
Will be ordering this one!! Decent and interesting undercard!! Will not be giving Canelo my money (as if he needs it) until he fights Benavidez!!
BoriMex…..you mean the guy who can’t make weight and lost his titles and enjoys cocaine and has beat absolutely nobody? Yeah, I’m sure he’s tops on Canelo’s list. You fanboys kill me. Tell me how that bum deserves a shot at the face of boxing? He brings nothing to the table. Not even the B side of the equation. He’s C at best. Next….
It is a great undercard!Watch out for Crowley !
