peer agreement (net): +1Boxeadores de segunda Explanation: Se refiere al mundo del boxeo. Don King es una empresa promotadora de combates. El "undercard" quiere decir los combates segundarias que se montan para animar al público antes del combate principal. David Tua may have choked in his big chance, but this was an entertaining night of boxing. Instead of Butterbean, and some embarrassing women's bout, we got three solid undercard pick 'em bouts. All of them, even the somewhat monotonous Leija-Robinson, were full of action. We'll take this over the usual Top Rank or Don King undercard any day of the week.

peer agreement (net): +1maleta, paquete, telonero de Don King Explanation: Efectivamente, undercard puede ser la persona o la propia competición previa. Incluso, hay referencias (de mala calidad a juzgar por el estilo) que lo dejan igual, seguramente debido a que se usa así en habla hispana. Sin embargo, nuestro código nos obliga a traducir y en este caso, si es un sujeto, lo que viene a mi mente de español nativo son vocablos de mi área, obviamente, tendrás que localizarlo. Si es una fase previa de un campeonato puedes usar "fase previa", "sesión de amateurs", etc. Reference: http://www.boxingsfinest.com/news/2000/april/morales_fight_s... |

peleadores de encuentros preliminares Explanation: The fights scheduled before the main event at a boxing event are, as Ian Ferguson correctly points out, the Undercard. These fights are also known in the Spanish speaking boxing world as "Peleas de Abreboca" Which sort of means "Appetizer Fights". A Boxing Card is called "Una cartilla Boxística" and the undercard are the "peleas preliminares" or preliminary fights. The fighters on Don King´s (or any promotor´s)undercards are usually trying to get noticed or trying to move up in their rankings and therefore slug it out with abandon. Hence the reference to abuse.
