...But some fights DO get made

Joshua Clottey vs. Carlos Quintana, on the Pavlik-Williams undercard. Not 100% final, but almost there.
Zab Judah vs. Ramon Montano, November 6. Judah's been out of the ring for nearly a year now, having pulled out of at least three different fights, so I'll believe this one when I see it.
Marco Antonio Rubio vs. Eric Mitchell. Rubio hasn't fought since getting dominated by Pavlik in February.
Edgar Sosa vs. Rodel Mayol. Mayol recently drew against Ivan Calderon and lost close in an ugly rematch. This is his fifth title shot without yet winning a belt. Now trained by Freddie Roach, Mayol seems to have improved overall. Sosa has made 10 defenses of his light flyweight title, but this might be his toughest opponent since winning the belt from Brian Viloria.
Yusef Mack vs. Karo Murat. This one's not 100% final either, but is close. This would be an eliminator for the IBF #1 contender spot. Mack has been on a roll lately, showing none of the stamina problems that plagued him at 168 in beating Chris Henry and DeAndrey Abron. Murat may be unknown here, but they're grooming him for stardom in Germany, and he has good wins over Gabriel Campillo and Christian Sanavia.

read that Marquez is willing to fight Hatton, even if it’s in England. this is a long way from getting done, but as I think both sides are willing to take the fight/aren’t afraid of fighting good, tough opposition, i think it will get made.

will quintana-clottey be at 147? and according to boxrec, Joel Casamayor is fighting the always dangerous TBA on the Judah card

I don't tend to believe the Boxrec schedules until I can independently verify its truth

They jump the gun CONSTANTLY and put up stuff that are just internet rumors.

I assume Clottey-Quintana would be at 147, although there’s no real harm if it’s at a catchweight above 147. They’re both ranked by a bunch of the ABCs anyway, and they’re both big enough names that they should be able to get decent fights even if a win doesn’t push them closer to mandatory position.

I like the fight personally. I think Quintana will be a tough test for Clottey.

My thoughts exactly on Judah, At this point, wen a fight gets announced for him I just roll my eyes.
