The WBC, WBO super featherweight titles will only be at stake for Conceicao - after Stevenson failed to make weight on Thursday and was forced to vacate his belts.

Newark native Stevenson (18-0, 9 KO) returns to fight in his hometown against 2016 Brazilian Olympic Gold Medalist Robson Conceicao (17-1, 8 KO).

In the eight-round lightweight co-feature, Tokyo 2020 U.S. Olympic silver medalist Keyshawn Davis (5-0, 4 KO) returns to the ring against Mexican veteran Omar Tienda (25-5, 18 KO).

I like Friday night fights …..

Nice card , let’s goo wish my boy Omar was still fighting tonight

The one thing about Shakur fighting on ESPN is the commentary team. With Ward and Bradley commentating, it's going be ridiculously biased in favor of Shakur. Ward is Shakur's biggest cheerleader and Bradley is always cheerleading one guy. So I'm debating to watch it without commentary. I wish I knew how to watch the Sky Sports version.

Good action in the last round

Tucker has a lot of potential

Tucker is just on a different level. Completely outclassing Sanchez.

I'm having doubts about Tucker's power, as easily and cleanly as he's hitting Sanchez, Tucker should be doing a lot more damage.

He should have been able to set a trap and walk Sanchez into a ko shot.

Tucker has a lot of skill as seems to be able to land any kind of shot.
