Alvarado vs Herrera live Fight @ 14th April 2012

Mauricio Herrera inks contract to fight Mike Alvarado on April 14 under the much anticipated Rios-Gamboa card . Building champions one fight at a time. That is the slogan that Thompson Boxing Promotions has followed in the past when making the careers of champions such as Timothy Bradley and Yonnhy Perez.

The Alvarado-Herrera fight will be the first fight of the night on the card and it’s still unknown if it will make it on television. My guess is no. This is a decent fight but still not the big fight that the 31-year-old Alvarado has been looking for. Herrera, also 31, has won his last five fights since losing an eight round split decision to Mike Anchondo in December 2009.

Brandon Rios vs Richard Abril (HBO Boxing Top Rank PPV)

Rios vs Abril live HBO boxing on 14th April 2012 . WBA World lightweight champion Brandon Rios (29-0-1, 22 KO’s) will be getting a shot to win back his title against Cuban Richard Abril (17-2-1, 8 KO’s) next month on April 14th at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

With Richard Abril now in for April 14 against Brandon Rios in Las Vegas, he and his trainer are sounding very confident that they can pull the upset and make a big name for themselves. Abril's trainer Osmiri Fernandez makes clear that the fight will have a 135-pound limit, and that he feels Abril (17-2-1, 8 KO) has the right skill set to give the ferocious Mexican all kinds of trouble.

HBO Boxing : Marquez vs Fedchenko

On April 14th, HBO will have two fights shown in a pay-per-view split site telecast fight card with Juan Manuel Marquez (53-6-1, 39 KO’s) vs Serhiy Fedchenko (30-1, 13 KO’s) in one of the main fights with former WBA World lightweight champion Brandon Rios (29-0-1, 22 KO’s) fighting Richard Abril (17-2-1, 8 KO’s) in the other big fight on the card. To me, both these fights look like mismatches and I can’t see either of them being worth it to pay to see this. I like value for my money.

I know a certain percentage of boxing fans will purse the card just to see Rios and Marquez, ignoring the fact that these two separate fights are clear mismatches with stars facing lesser opponents. I don’t think this card is worthy of Pay-per-view. I’ve seen a lot of Manny Pacquiao cards that had mismatches from top to bottom, but this one ranks right up there with those in my view.
