By Scott Christ and Wil Esco
Stephanie Trapp/SHOWTIME

Bad Left Hook will be here with live, round-by-round coverage for all three fights on tonight’s Showtime tripleheader, starting at 9 pm ET, with Adrien Broner facing Adrian Granados in the 10-round welterweight main event.

Broner (32-2, 24 KO) and Granados (18-4-2, 12 KO) are in a pivotal fight for their careers. Neither man can afford the loss, but the value of a win is different for each. For Granados, it would be a confirmation that he can be a top fighter at 140/147. For Broner, well, he’s supposed to win, but this has been a sleeper since it’s been signed, and there’s some danger.

David Avanesyan (22-1-1, 11 KO) will defend the WBA "world" welterweight title against Lamont Peterson (34-3-1, 17 KO) in the co-feature, a 12-round fight. And Marcus Browne (18-0, 13 KO) will take on Thomas Williams Jr (20-2, 14 KO) in the television opener.

Wil Esco will be handling the round-by-round coverage and scoring. Join us tonight!
