Broner (33-2, 24 KOs) has quietly won three straight bouts since losing on points to Shawn Porter in Las Vegas two years ago. A former world champion at super featherweight, lightweight, super lightweight and welterweight, “The Problem” is anxious to continue his surge toward another crack at a world title and it starts with Garcia. Broner, from Cincinnati, weighed in officially at 138.75 pounds.
Garcia (36-0, 30 KOs) has long been one of the best young lions in the sport. The Oxnard native scooped up world titles at featherweight and super featherweight before taking two years off due to complications with management and promoters. Garcia eventually returned to action and knocked out Dejan Zlaticanin in the third to win the WBC lightweight crown in January. For his non-title affair with Broner, Garcia came in at 139.5 pounds.
The Garcia-Broner main card will be televised live on Showtime beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. Showtime will also stream the prelims live on its YouTube and Facebook Live channels, which begins at 7:15 p.m. ET/4:15 p.m. PT.
