Honestly these two can have a Gatti/Ward type fight and I will still hate the card.

Seriously?
The main event is eh, but I’d pay money for the undercard. Three potentially solid fights.

They aren’t. Escobedo is 5’10", Katsidis is 5’8". The reach is the real difference: Escobedo 74", Katsidis 66".
