Things got a little heated at the end of yesterday's weigh-in event in Brooklyn, with Danny Garcia and Erik Morales getting in each others faces after hitting the scales and going into the ceremonial staredown, with Garcia reportedly (and quite clearly, if you watch close enough) saying he would "fuck Morales up" in tonight's main event from Brooklyn.
That bout will go on as scheduled for Garcia's WBA and WBC junior welterweight titles, as Morales did fail two USADA tests for traces of clenbuterol, but according to the NY Daily News, passed a third test, which was administered on Wednesday.
Though clenbuterol is known as a weight-cutting drug, it is also well-known as something that can be in contaminated beef, as Morales claims. The trace amounts in his system would indicate this is, in fact, a coincidence, or at least it would seem that way.
We'll have live coverage of all four main card fights on Showtime tonight, with the Showtime Extreme undercard starting at 7 pm ET also covered. It's going to be a big, long day of fights here at BLH, so make sure you're with us.
