Pre-fight coverage, undercard rundown, and more after the jump.

Chavez Jr (46-0-1, 32 KO) and Martinez (49-2-2, 28 KO) are meeting in one of the year's most highly-anticipated fights, and a rarity in modern boxing as this became a big fight naturally, was "marinated" just the right amount of time, and right when it was really begging to be made, it actually got made. If this happened more often, we'd have unicorns. In the real world.

Here's a quick look at the PPV undercard:

Super Bantamweights, 12 Rounds (WBA Title)
Guillermo Rigondeaux (10-0, 8 KO) vs Robert Marroquin (22-1, 15 KO)

Super Featherweights, 12 Rounds (Vacant WBO Title)

Light Heavyweights, 4 Rounds

Don't forget we'll also have live round-by-round coverage of the Canelo vs Lopez card on Showtime.
