Cuban-born southpaw and two-time former Olympic gold medalist Guillermo Rigondeaux, who has been competing as a professional super bantamweight (122 pounds), will face Panamanian southpaw featherweight (126 pounds) Ricardo Cordoba on what has become a monster undercard to the Nov. 13 junior middleweight (154 pounds) championship main event featuring Manny "Pac Man" Pacquiao (pictured above) and Antonio Margarito for the vacant WBC crown at Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
The show already includes the return of 28-year-old former WBO and WBC middleweight (160 pounds) champion Kelly Pavlik (36-2, 32 knockouts) of Youngstown, Ohio, against Bryan Lee Vera (17-5, 11 KOs), of Austin, Tex., along with rising Philadelphia welterweight (147 pounds) Mike Jones (22-0, 18 KOs) in a bout opposite Mexican-born Jesus Soto Karass (24-4-3, 16 KOs) of Los Angeles.
Of course, seven-division king and WBO welterweight titlist Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KOs), of the Philippines, will pursue his eighth crown in as many weight classes opposite ex-titlist Margarito (38-6, 27 KOs), of Tijuana, Mex.
