Boxing Challenge

The Boxing Challenge will be easy to follow with one three-fight card from Showtime from the PBC home base in Brooklyn New York.

The main event will pit former junior welterweight and WBC welterweight champion Danny Garcia in another stay busy fight against veteran Ivan Redkach.
Garcia knocked out tough, but undersized Adrian Granados last April and will be fighting a similar fighter in both size and style in Redkach.
Redkach has been known to deliver exciting fights in both wins and losses as he is coming into this fight after his career-best win over former junior welterweight champion Devon Alexander via sixth-round knockout and his Dec. 2018 loss in four rounds to John Molina was a war to be seen, but he isn't a natural welterweight and he's likely to march forward to be pounded by Garcia's counters.
There could be worse matches for Garcia to make than Redkach, but for a fighter that moved to welterweight four and a half years ago and has yet to defeat a top ten fighter in the weight class, it once again makes an observer wonder if the strategy is to keep Garcia viable enough to place him against a Manny Pacquiao or Errol Spence to cash in their chips.

The co-feature will see the return of former WBA and IBF junior middleweight champion Jarrett Hurd in his first fight since losing those titles to the since dethroned Julian Williams in what was a 2019 fight of the year contender.
Hurd looked to be headed for elite status after exciting wins over Tony Harrison, Austin Trout, and Erislandy Lara as he entered the Williams fight and despite Hurd's efforts, Williams was the better fighter on that evening.
Hurd turned down his contractually-obligated rematch with Williams and hasn't fought since, but Hurd is being placed very light against journeyman Francisco Santana, who has lost three of his last four and has never fought above welterweight, so one would believe that things are set perfectly for an impressive return for Hurd.

The opener on the evening should be the most competitive pairing as two undefeated junior featherweights hook it up as Stephen Fulton faces Arnold Khegai.
Fulton knocked out previously undefeated Issac Avelar in six rounds in his most recent appearance and holds a win over Adam Lopez, who recently gave Oscar Valdez all sorts of problems, while Khegai has been mainly based in Russia before a unanimous decision win over Vladimir Tikhonov on a ShoBox card in Oklahoma.

In the boxing challenge, Ramon Malpica leads me six to five in the early stages of the season.
