Danny Garcia will headline a three-fight bill from Philadelphia tonight, as Premier Boxing Champions returns to Spike at 9 pm ET. We’ll be here with live coverage for all three of the fights on the show, with Wil Esco on the call.
Garcia is taking a tune-up meant to lead into a fight on March 4 against Keith Thurman, a big welterweight showdown that could tell us who the leader of the division will be for the near future. Vargas is a huge underdog, a guy who can only be called a fringe contender if you’re being generous, but he’ll obviously have designs on the shocking upset.
The undercard has more interesting matchups. Emerging top prospect Jarrett Hurd will face Jo Jo Dan in a junior middleweight fight. Hurd will be aiming to head into 2017 as a guy knocking on the door of contention in the division. And former titleholder Javier Fortuna will take on Omar Douglas in a super featherweight clash.
