    The undercard for the huge fight between middleweight champion Miguel Cotto and Canelo Alvarez on Nov. 21 (HBO pay-per-view) at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas has not yet been finalized, but it's getting there.

    Roc Nation Sports, Cotto's promoter, continues to work on hammering out a deal that would see super middleweight champion Andre Ward (28-0, 15 KOs) appear in the co-feature in a light heavyweight fight. If the deal is finalized, it will mark the start of a three-fight contract between Ward and HBO.

    Two other world title bouts are agreed to for the undercard. According to Golden Boy, Alvarez's promoter and co-promoter of the card, contracts have been sent out and Golden Boy is waiting for them to be signed and returned before the fights can be officially announced. But

    Did they announce the 2 other title fights or anyone got any idea who they will involve?

    If they can get Ward on there vs a legit guy (I got serious doubts about that happening) this will be a nice full PPV card sounds like. Respect Oscar & Roc Nation.

      I'm sure one is the Miura-Vargas one, but not sure about the other one.
      EDIT: looked it up and the other one appears to be Randy Caballero-Lee Haskins.

          Muira vs vargas. Probably going to end up being the best fight of all

              So can we remove every GGG is ducking Ward thread now? Or do people expect him to move up TWO divisions now?

                Finally moving up. I like the idea.

                Him beating Badou Jack or Abraham again doesn't prove anything to me. He already cleaned out 68 when the division was hot. There's nothing left to accomplish other than regain belts he was stripped of.

                    Him cleaning out the division is a myth. Not all the top guys were in the Super 6.
