Thurman vs Garcia: Live streaming results and round by round coverage

Tonight at 9 pm ET on CBS, Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia meet in a highly anticipated welterweight title unification, topping a three-fight card from Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.

Thurman (27-0, 22 KO) will put his WBA title on the line against the WBC belt held by Garcia (33-0, 19 KO) in a battle of unbeaten fighters, and a fight that has become highly personal in the build-up, largely thanks to the antics (to use a kind word) of Garcia’s father and trainer, Angel.

On the undercard, we’ll see top junior middleweight prospect Erickson Lubin (17-0, 12 KO) face Jorge Cota (25-1, 22 KO) in what is hoped to be a step-up bout for the 21-year-old "Hammer," and we’ll also see a must-win light heavyweight battle between veterans Andrezj Fonfara (28-4, 16 KO) and former champion Chad Dawson (34-4, 19 KO).

Wil Esco will be on the round-by-round call tonight, so join us for all the action this evening!
