By Harry Rowland: On paper this is the best fight in the Middleweight division, unless you consider Saul Alvarez a Middleweight and not a super Welterweight or Super Middleweight, which are the divisions he fought in last, and will be fighting in his upcoming contest, respectively.

Jacobs 32-1 (29) is a career Middleweight, has vast experience having turned professional almost a decade ago, is also in his prime at 30, and he has had a good recent win over Peter Quillin, for the WBA regular Middleweight title which has afforded him this mandatory challenge to the unified champion.

By Mauricio Sulaiman: The way boxing operates is so vastly different from any other sport. Boxing is regulated by government institutions of each country, in most cases, each state of the country and even to the extent of having regulations by each city of each state of each country. This must be due to the nature of the sport, a contact sport, which in the early years was brutal and inhuman, there were many deaths every year in the sport, abuse of power, anarchy and total control by a few who acted as promoters and regulators.

By Dan Ambrose: The idea behind #1 WBC Carlos Cuadras and WBC super flyweight champion Roman Gonzalez both fighting on the same card on March 18 is that if they both win, they’ll face each other in a rematch.

Cuadras (35-1-1, 27 KOs) isn’t sure whether Gonzalez (46-0, 38 KOs) will fight him again, but he’s hoping he does. Cuadras will be fighting Mexican David Carmona (20-3-5, 8 KOs) in a 10 round fight on the undercard of the Gennady “GGG” Golovkin fight on HBO pay-per-view.

By Jeff Aranow: Undefeated #8 WBA junior middleweight contender Erickson “The Hammer” Lubin (17-0, 11 KOs) will be fighting #8 WBC Jorge Cota (25-1, 22 KOs) in the co-feature bout on March 4 on the Danny Garcia vs. Keith Thurman card at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Showtime Championship Boxing will likely be televising the card. However, there’s a chance that CBS could televise the fight card, according to RingTV.

Lubin, 21, is still a prospect at this point in his career despite him being ranked by the WBA at No.8. He’s got a lot of work to do before he’s ready to mix it up with champions like the Charlo brothers and Erislandy Lara.

By Dan Ambrose: The March 18th fight card headlined by IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin vs. Daniel Jacobs just got a lot stronger today with the addition of WBC super flyweight champion Roman “Chocoltito” Gonzalez (46-0, 38 KOs) vs. Srisaket sor Rungvisai (41-4-1, 38 KOs) being added to the undercard as the co-feature bout at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The Gonzalez-Rungvisa isn’t a great fight like last September’s match between Gonzalez and Carlos Cuadras, but it will be nice for the boxing fans to see Gonzalez in action. His opponent 30-year-old Rungvisai is little more than the prop that will standing across from Gonzalez in the ring on March 18 to absorb punishment.
