“The whole card from top to bottom. Not only is this the biggest Canelo fight we’ve ever done, but it’s also the best card with it,” said Eddie Hearn to the DAZN Boxing Show.
“Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez, for me, I think, is going to be the Fighter of the Year. Israel Gonzalez, who pushed Chocolatito all the way and arguably beat Kal Yafai in Monaco for the world title as well. This is a brilliant fight.
“I think Jesse Rodriguez may already be pound-for-pound one of the top fighters in the sport. Ali Akhmedov against Gabe Rosado is an absolute all-out war.
“What about Kieran Conway against Ammo Williams, Diego Pacheco against Enrique Collazo, Aaron Aponte against Fernando Molina, and you’ve got Marc Castro in a great fight.
“When you build a card sometimes, you get it right from top to bottom, and this is the perfect example.
“Not only do you have the biggest fight in boxing [Canelo vs. Golovkin], but you’ve got a card where the fight fans can tune in on DAZN or be in the arena early doors and watch an unbelievable night of entertainment,” said Hearn.
