Yeah, while it's not a complete list here are the few rumored preliminaries: Abner Mares vs Gervonta Davis and Leo Santa Cruz vs Gary Russell, Jr.

I read both of those fights will NOT be on the card

Rumored card this isn't confirmed yet
Leo Santa Cruz vs Gary Russel Jr
Gervonta Davis vs Abner Mares

Mite be the best card this year tbh

expect to be disappointed then. Those fights ain't gonna be on the card.

Thurman and Hurd tuneups are the most solid rumours

That makes sense, hopefully we get one truly toss up fight on this card though instead of showcases. Would also like to see them roll out a bunch of the prospects on this card

When was the last time they had a fight at the staples center? I hoped they had it in Vegas instead.

[MasterPlan]

Any word on the undercard?

One report has Leo Santa Cruz vs Gary Russell and Gervanta Davis vs Abner Mares.
Another report has the return of Keith Thurman and Jarrett Hurd vs someone.

Three months ago, LSC/Mares 2.

Edit: Make that 2 months ago, I forgot about Garcia/Easter being there

Garcia vs Easter was also at Staples.

I like the venue choice. Staples Center is great for boxing. Seems like Keith Thurman will make his comeback as the chief support fight.

If Thurman is fighting Joesito Lopez that shouldn't be the co main event

Yep, had forgotten about that
