from The Boxing Tribune.com:
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (40-0-1, 30 KOs) has been added to the Cotto-Pacquiao undercard on November 14th. Chavez Jr. will be taking on Troy Rowland (25-2, 7 KOs). By the way, Rowland is ranked #222 by Boxrec.
This was the spot long rumored to be set aside for Humberto Soto vs. Edwin Valero. Unfortunately, immigration, legal and medical issues never allowed that fight to be anything more than a rumor.
Also on the card: Daniel Santos will finally be defending his WBA Jr. Middleweight crown against Yuri Foreman and Jesus Soto-Karass will take on Alfonso Gomez. Rumor also has Eric Morel vs. Z Gorres for the WBO interim Bantamweight title as a back-up in case the Santos fight falls apart.
What's your opinion on this lineup?

The Chavez Jr -Rowland fight should be a blowout for JR. The Soto Karss - Gomez fight should be good two way action. Now if we could only get that Yuri Forman removed from the card I would be happy.

Im sick of Chavez Jr yet another year and he has yet to fight a ranked fighter. He fighting guys 22-5 , or with 1 0r 2 loses but all there wins were against other cab drivers. He is living off of his fathers legacy.
He getting ko'd when he steps up in class!

Except for the Chavez Jr. fight, this is a really good undercard...I don't even mind Santos-Foreman, at least Santos is going to finally defend!
My question is...Why so many Mexican fighters on a card pitting a Puerto Rican and a Filipino? Maybe they think they can reach the Mexican market?
