Spence vs Ocampo: Live streaming results and round by round coverage

Tonight at 9 pm ET on Showtime, Errol Spence Jr returns to make the first defense of his IBF welterweight championship when he takes on mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo in Frisco, Texas.

It’s the headline bout of a three-fight bill which also includes WBA “world” super bantamweight titleholder Daniel Roman taking on Moises Flores, and a junior welterweight bout between Javier Fortuna and Adrian Granados.

Spence (23-0, 20 KO) is the heavy favorite tonight, and the man some believe to be the best welterweight in boxing today, which is still a star-studded and hot division. The 28-year-old will have home field just outside of Dallas against Mexico’s Ocampo (22-0, 13 KO), who comes in a relative unknown with zero fights at the true world level.

Roman (24-2-1, 9 KO) won’t be defending his belt against Flores (25-0, 17 KO), who missed weight on Friday, but it’s still a big showcase opportunity for both fighters. Fortuna (33-2-1, 23 KO) and Granados (18-6-2, 12 KO) meet in a 10-rounder, a must-win for both, as they’re each coming off of losses.

Wil Esco will be on the round-by-round call. Join us!
