Gotta agree, craig. I thought they turned the corner several fights ago. The only rationale I can think of is that they used Horn to replace the other good fighters. Buttabean was always gonna be there with his friendship and contract with Duco. And Parker's brother was always gonna be there. So that's 4 fights, plus Fa. Showcase our other NZ fighters! I also thought Arum would showcase some Top Rank boxers, as he's co-promoting it.

I can't understand Izu not fighting on the undercard. The only thing that would make sense to me is if he is fighting in the UK, maybe against Dave Allen, David Price or Ortiz?

I won't be ordering the fight based on that undercard. I hope Parker wins, but despite the hype I see this as a fairly easy win.

I'll order it, because I want to see Parker, Horn, and Fa fight. But yeah, I think Ruiz will be a lot easier than what pundits are saying.

Looks like they DID change it from earlier.

It sucks we aren't going to get a decent undercard for such a big night. On the bright side the more mis-matches DUCO put on the more money il make it the Tab!

I'm gonna hold out until I know for sure about the undercard before rendering a judgment. I'm living in the hope stage, hoping it comes right.
