Previews: Staff picks / Tom Craze's betting breakdown
In the main event, Timothy Bradley (29-0, 12 KO) returns to defend his WBO welterweight title against Ruslan Provodnikov (22-1, 15 KO), an exciting but defensively limited junior welterweight fringe contender. Most of the fight's talking has come from trainers Joel Diaz and Freddie Roach, with Diaz saying Roach is "just a name" and has lost his love for the sport, while Roach has predicted that Bradley will run when he faces Provodnikov's power.
Bradley is the heavy betting favorite, and with good reason. Four of four BLH staffers have predicted a wide decision win for Bradley, who will be fighting for the first time since June 2012.
In the co-feature, also a welterweight bout, Jessie Vargas (21-0, 9 KO) faces Wale Omotoso (24-0, 19 KO) in a battle of stalled welterweight prospects. That fight is scheduled for 10 rounds.
