Broner and Garcia, two world-class fighters in their prime, meet at a critical time in their respective careers in one of the most intriguing matches in boxing. Both Broner and Garcia have had spectacular victories at Barclays Center in Brooklyn during their careers. Broner successfully defended his welterweight title against Paulie Malignaggi at Barclays Center on June 22, 2013, y García, coming off a lengthy layoff, defeated Elio Rojas via fifth-round TKO at the arena on July 30, 2016.

Broner, a three-division world champion by the age of 23, and one of the youngest four-division world champions in boxing history, remains one of the most accomplished and popular athletes in the sport today. Among the top 140-pounders in the world, Broner is undefeated at or below 140 pounds with his only two losses coming against welterweight world champions Marcos Maidana and Shawn Porter. Con sólo 27 años, Broner (33-2, 24 KOs) still believes he is the future of the sport and looks to prove it against Garcia onSábado, Julio 29.

Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, Broner has achieved more in his young career than most fighters can hope for in a lifetime. After earning world titles at 130, 135 y 147 libra, Broner won a belt in a fourth weight division – 140 libra – en octubre 2015 when he defeated Khabib Allakhverdiev via 12^º round stoppage to become the second youngest four-division champion in boxing history at 26 (behind Oscar De La Hoya, 24). Broner will turn 28 years old on Julio 28, the day before his bout with Garcia.

García, 29 years old and undefeated (36-0, 30 KOs), is a recently crowned lightweight champion and one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the sport. He will move up in weight for the second time in just three fights to challenge Broner. García es miembro de una conocida familia del boxeo, y destaca por su deportividad y su presencia imponente en el ring, perfeccionado por su hermano y entrenador aclamado por Robert García. He has held world titles at 126, 130 y 135 libra, but has never fought above 138.

García, de Moreno Valley a través de Oxnard, Calif., regresó al ring después de una ausencia de dos años y medio años en julio 2016 without missing a beat. After defeating Rojas, Garcia became a three-division champion by beating previously undefeated lightweight world champion Dejan Zlaticanin with a vicious third-round knockout this January. Garcia has stopped 19 de su pasado 21 oponentes incluyendo romana “Rocoso” Martínez, Juan Manuel Lopez, Orlando Salido and Bernabe Concepcion.
