Boxing Challenge

The Boxing Challenge continues as the PBC returns boxing to Fox with a three fight card.

Sadly in typical PBC form,they start with a less than great main event as Danny Garcia battles Robert Guerrero for the vacant WBC welterweight title.
Garcia moves up from 140 after a disappointing four fight run in which he received one decision that he lost on my card (Mauricio Herrera and another one that could have went either way (Lamont Peterson) and two wins over overmatched opponents (Rod Salka and Paulie Malignaaggi).
Guerrero is 2-2 in his last four with his last fight a split decision over Aron Martinez in a bout that he was dropped and lost on my card.
The fact that this is for the vacant WBC belt is a joke considering the other available alternatives..

It's a good thing that the other two bouts could be action bouts with the aforementioned Aron Martinez against Pittsburgh's Sammy Vasquez in a welterweight bout and former Olympian Dominic Breazeale against hard punching veteran Amir Mansour in an interesting heavyweight fight....

In the boxing challenge,I lead R.L.Malpica 4-2.
