O doubleheader de ataques de título na división aberta de 140 libras prepara o terreo para unha posible unificación xogo.

A 29-year-old Garcia (37-0, 30 Kos), enfaticamente volveu listas Pound-for-pound 2017 marcando un nocaute torno do destaque de Dejan Zlaticanin para gañar o Campionato Mundial WBC Leve en xaneiro e, a continuación, dominando campión catro división Adrien Broner no seu camiño para unha decisión unánime en xullo. García é un membro dunha familia de boxeo renome, and is noted for his sportsmanship and his commanding presence in the ring, honed by his brother and acclaimed trainer Robert Garcia.

Garcia, of Moreno Valley by way of Oxnard, Calif., returned to the ring after a two-and-half-year layoff in July 2016 without missing a beat by stopping former champion Elio Rojas. Garcia, who has held world titles at 126, 130 e 135 libras, has stopped 19 da súa última 22 opponents including Roman “Rochoso” Martinez, Juan Manuel Lopez and Orlando Salido.

With a win, Garcia would become only the third fighter in modern history to become champion at 126, 130, 135 and 140-pounds, joining future Hall of Famers Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao*.

The unbeaten Lipinets (13-0, 10 Kos) captured a super lightweight world title in just his 13^th pro fight by defeating Akihiro Kondo via a unanimous decision on Novembro 4 na canle Showtime. He is originally from Kazakhstan but moved to Russia when he was six years old. He currently lives in Beverly Hills, California, Lipinets and is trained by Buddy McGirt.

The 28-year-old moved up the 140-pound rankings with victories over then unbeaten Haskell Rhodes, Levan Ghvamichava and Walter Castillo before knocking out Leonardo Zappavigna in a world title eliminator last December. Lipinets will look to stamp his place as an elite fighter when he takes on the accomplished and dangerous Garcia on March 10.

*Pacquiao gañou campionatos lineares en 126 and 140-pounds, aínda que non gañou títulos do alfabeto.
