As noted in our previous post, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum is pleased with all aspects of the April 12 rematch between WBO welterweight titlist Tim Bradley and eight-division champion Manny Pacquiao.

What I also personally find interesting about the fight is just how much attention Juan Manuel Marquez will be giving to the match.

According to Arum, the Mexico City legend has expressed interest in facing the Pacquiao-Bradley II winner in an effort to land himself a belt in a fifth weight class.

“There seems no reason for him to fight [Ruslan] Provodnikov,” Arum said, referencing the Russian star who had called out Marquez.

“Marquez really wants only one thing before he retires,” Arum continued. “He wants to win that title. And he has indicated to us that he would be very available to fight the winner of Pacquiao and Bradley in the fall.”

Marquez lost a split-decision to Bradley this past October and ten months prior he scored his lone victory over Pacquiao with a devastating sixth round knockout in their fourth encounter.

Marquez had vehemently opposed a fifth meeting with Pacquiao in the past but now seems to have a different mindset.

“That is correct, so he’s obviously changed his tune,” Arum stated. “He doesn’t want to face Pacquiao again if Pacquiao is not successful with Bradley. But if Pacquiao is successful with Bradley, he has stated that he wants to face Pacquiao.”

According to a report from Luke Furman at BoxingScene.com, negotiations appear to be in place to stage a match between junior middleweight contenders James Kirkland (32-1, 28 KO’s) and Damian Jonak (37-0-1, 21 KO’s).

The plan is to put the fight as the co-feature to Gennady Golovkin’s April 26th return to HBO inside of The Theater in Madison Square Garden. Kirkland is coming off of a big win over Glen Tapia and could use another HBO showcase to spearhead him towards something bigger later this year.

According to a report Salvador Rodriguez at BoxingScene.com, former three-division champion Abner Mares appears to be moving away from a heavily-anticipated rematch with WBC featherweight champion Jhonny Gonzalez.

As we first reported, Mares pulled out of his scheduled Feb. 15 rematch with Gonzalez after suffering a rib injury while sparring down in Mexico City.

While it looked like the rematch was going to be pushed back just a month, it now appears that Mares may land on Floyd Mayweather’s pay per view return on May 3 in Las Vegas.

Moments ago in Monte Carlo, Monaco, WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (29-0 26 KO’s) scored three knockdowns on his way to registering a seventh round TKO over Osumanu Adama.

Golovkin was in control from the start and saw the match waved in the seventh after a counter left buckled Adama. Golovkin and his team will now go back to calling for the biggest fights near the middleweight class.

Stay tuned for more.
