I think there doing that to save the fighters to much trouble down there for themAll these Cuban cards not being put in South Florida is just
but it hurts them in the long run, because they can't build fan bases where they have growth potential at.
Promoters just be full of shyt tho, cuz they always seem to have an excuse when it comes to staging big fights in South Florida.
Munguia-Hogan Announced for April 13 at Arena Monterrey
By Jake Donovan
Jaime Munguia didn’t get a desired fifth fight to close out his 2018 campaign, but his 2019 schedule is already on course to match, if not surpass his breakout year.
The unbeaten super welterweight returns to his native Mexico for the first time in more than a year, and for his first-time ever as a defending titlist. Munguia’s title defense versus Dennis Hogan is officially locked in for April 13 at Arena Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico, with the event—which will stream live on DAZN—formally announced Wednesday in Mexico.
It will mark the first title fight at the famed venue in nearly five years, although a damn tough one to match. Local boxer Francisco Rodriguez Jr. survived a hellacious war with Katsunari Takayama in a blood-soaked Aug. ’14 108-pound unification clash which BoxingScene.com recognized as 2014 Fight of the Year.

In bringing home this title fight, Zanfer and the DAZN team return to Mexico just two months after the sports streaming platform made its south-of-the-border debut in February. That occasion also featured a sensational war, with Humberto Soto upending Brandon Rios in a battle of faded former titlists in Tijuana, from where Soto and Munguia both hail.
The April 13 show will mark DAZN's first major title fight in Mexico.
“We are committed to bringing the best fights home to Mexico,” noted Zanfer Promotions’ Fernando Beltran, Munguia’s lead promoter.
Munguia (32-0, 26KOs) will attempt the fourth defense of the 154-pound title he claimed just last May in a one-sided 4th round stoppage of Sadam Ali last May in Verona, New York. The title opportunity marked just the second fight in the U.S. for the 22-year young slugger from Tijuana, who had remained north of the border for each of his three title defenses.
The latest came this past January in Houston in a 12-round win over Japan’s Takeshi Inoue, who’d never lost before and didn’t go down without a fight. Munguia accepted the voluntary defense with the understanding that a title defense in Mexico would be next on the list, with Zanfer Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions making good on that promise.
Initial plans called for Munguia to squeeze in one more optional defense before entering talks with Australia’s Hogan, his mandatory challenger. The reason for wanting to pursue that route was due to the belief that a deal couldn’t be reached in time for the mandatory title fight, but the World Boxing Organization (WBO) helped expedite matters in ordering a 30-day negotiating period which came dangerously close to going to purse bid.
The best-case scenario instead played out, with a deal reached and leaving room for bigger fights assuming all goes well in April.
“I am confident that we will deliver a great fight to the fans,” Munguia said during the press conference event, which his opponent was unable to attend. “(Hogan) is the number-one challenger in the world and has never been knocked down. We will have to win this fight round-by-round.”
Hogan (28-1-1, 7KOs)—a 34-year old Irishman who now lives in and fights out of Australia—will fight for the first time in Mexico, although it won’t be his first road trip. His lone loss came in hostile territory, dropping a 12-round decision to Germany’s Jack Cuclay in their Dec. ’15 interim title fight in Wilhelmsburg, Germany.
Six straight wins have followed, including the most recent of his four career fights in the United States—a six-round win over former title challenger Angel Hernandez—before returning home for his last five starts. Decision wins over Jimmy Kilrain Kelly and Jamie Weetch elevated the scrappy Hogan to the top contender position.
Oddsmakers place him as a considerable long shot to win on the road, a concept his team openly embraces.
“It’s great to hear Team Munguia and Golden Boy talk about Munguia’s next (potential) opponents after Dennis,” quipped Paul Keegan, Hogan’s manager of surrounding talk regarding potential unification bouts down the road. “It will make it all the sweeter when Dennis puts that world title around his waist. They don’t know what’s coming.”
The challenger himself claims to know exactly what’s coming—and where he was willing to travel in order to realize his dream.
“Bring me to a field in Russia, I don’t care. This is a world title opportunity for me,” Hogan recently claimed during a local news interview in Australia. “We’re going to do what we have to do to come out with the win.”
im guessing this is the "soft touch" defense after the war he had with that jap
..7 ko's in 30 fights means this hogan dude prolly wont hurt him too much lolIf Klitschko came back, goods fights for him would be Ortiz, Whyte then Fury.

Danny Garcia vs. Adrian Granados Tops Tripleheader, April 20
Former two-division world champion Danny "Swift" Garcia will battle hard-hitting veteran Adrian Granados in a 12-round welterweight bout that will headline the live prime time event presented by Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes on Saturday, April 20 from Dignity Health Sports Park (formerly StubHub Center) in Carson, California.
Heavyweight contender Andy Ruiz Jr. takes on Alexander Dimitrenko in a 10-round bout in the co-feature and unbeaten contender Brandon Figueroa battles Venezuela's Yonfrez Parejo in a 12-round match for the WBA Interim Super Bantamweight title that opens the primetime FOX broadcast that begins at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Mayweather Promotions, in association with DSG Promotions, are on sale now. Tickets can be purchased at AXS.com or at the Dignity Health Sports Park box office from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

"Danny Garcia is one of the preeminent boxers of this generation," said Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions. "He's a champion through and through. His resume is a veritable 'Who's Who?' of the best at 140 and 147 pounds over the last 10 years. He's hungry to get his title back and he's willing to go through anyone to do that. Adrian Granados is a tough competitor looking to join the championship ranks and Danny represents the most direct route. It's the kind of clash that makes for entertaining matches. The fans at Dignity Health Sports Park and watching on FOX and FOX Deportes on April 20 are in for a treat.''
"Danny Garcia knows that he¹s going to have to be on his A-game, as a victory over Adrian Granados puts him back in position to regain his welterweight championship,'' said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. "Adrian Granados is a fighter thatalways comes to put on exciting fights and holds nothing back against his opponents. The action leading up to the main event is sure to be crowd pleasers. I expect the fans in attendance to bring the energy to Dignity Health Sports Park and those tuning in on FOX and FOX Deportes will be fully entertained as well."
Garcia (34-2, 20 KOs) has fought and defeated many of the most formidable opponents at 140 and 147-pounds spanning two generations-Erik Morales, Zab Judah, Kendall ****, Amir Khan, Lucas Matthysse, Paulie Malignaggi and Lamont Peterson among them. Six of his seven opponents in the welterweight division were former or current world champions and 12 of his last 16 opponents overall carried the same distinction. Included in that run was a headlining performance live on FOX in January 2016, when he defeated Robert Guerrero to capture his welterweight title in Los Angeles. Representing the fighting city of Philadelphia, the 30-year-old most recently lost an exciting and narrow decision to Shawn Porter in their September title fight.
"I cannot wait to get back in the ring and put on the Danny Garcia show once again," said Garcia. "Granados was talking a big game when we first announced the fight and I plan on proving him wrong on April 20. The Southern California fans have always treated me right and I'm excited to give them a great fight."
Fighting out of Cicero, Ilinois, Granados (20-6-2, 14 KOs) has made a name for himself by delivering tough, action-packed fights against top fighters in the sport, including Shawn Porter and Adrien Broner. The 29-year-old burst onto the scene by shocking then unbeaten Amir Imam via a stoppage victory in their 2015 clash. After a fight last June against Javier Fortuna that ended in a no contest, Granados picked up two-straight knockout wins heading into this matchup.
"This is a huge fight for me and definitely one of the most important in my career," said Granados. "I'm looking to dominate, look impressive and control the fight. I've fought in Southern California before and I'm looking to take advantage of the great Mexican crowd. This is Mexico versus Puerto Rico and Chicago vs. Philadelphia. It's territorial on a lot of levels and you can expect us to leave it all in the ring."
Fighting out of Imperial, California, Ruiz (31-1, 20 KOs) was a two-time Mexican national champion at super heavyweight as an amateur, before embarking on a pro career that saw him win his first 29 fights. The 29-year-old lost a close majority decision against Joseph Parker in their 2016 world title fight and rebounded with victories over Kevin Johnson and Devin Vargas last year.
The 36-year-old Dimitrenko (41-4, 26 KOs) is a longtime heavyweight contender who has challenged top fighters throughout his career. Born in Russia but fighting out of Hamburg, Germany, he most recently lost to Bryant Jennings in a back and forth fight in August and owns wins over Derric Rossy, Adrian Granat and Miljan Rovcanin.
The 22-year-old Figueroa (18-0, 13 KOs) most recently delivered a dominant performance in knocking out Moises Flores in the third-round of their January fight on FS1. Representing Weslaco, Texas, the younger brother of former world champion Omar has a five-fight knockout streak that he brings into the ring on April 20.
A former interim champion and title challenger at bantamweight, Parejo (22-3-1, 11 KOs) will look to make his mark at 122-pounds when he battles Figueroa on April 20. The 32-year-old from Venezuela lost a bantamweight world title fight to Ryan Burnett last March, but rebounded to most recently defeat Benjamin Mendoza in February. He won an interim title by stopping Luis Hinojosa in 2014 before losing a split-decision the following year to former champion Zhanat Zhakiyanov.
