Nice card, but if Garcia/PEDerson is a 10 rounder on top of the 144 or whatever catchweight, that puts a black eye on it.

... The article here doesn't specifically read if it's a 10 rounder or not... Which is strange.

It's not finalized yet as far as weight is concerned. Danny said, in an interview, the fight could still be at 140. However, the rest of the interview led me to believe the fight would be above the limit.

Even if they formally make it at 140, Peterson will be 141 at the weigh in... he did this before and it worked.

Lol, I don't think Garcia knows why people wanted him to fight peterson

So the Main, main Event is not even for a title? Try explaining that situation to most new viewers

Maybe the winner will get a newly minted PBC belt?

lmao at the long time title holder Peterson. Yeah, the title that should have been stripped for PEDS, and then lost to Matthysse by getting KTFO in 3. Oh yeah, that was a catch weight match too.

That card is a joke - the main event is not even a title fight. The upper ring in the arena will probably be closed to make it loo like a sell out.....
