The bout airs live on CBS in the United States and Sky Sports in the United Kingdom. The event marks the second CBS-televised airing of Al Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions series, which has also previously played twice each on NBC and Spike TV. [Click Here To Read More]

The telling factor would be if Figueroa's hands hold up. IF they bust up, his chances fly out the window.
