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

Errol Spence Jr defends his IBF welterweight title tonight against Mikey Garcia, headlining a PBC FOX pay-per-view from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Live coverage begins at 8 pm ET on FS1, and continues at 9 pm ET on pay-per-view.

Spence (24-0, 21 KO) is looking to make the third defense of the belt that he won from Kell Brook in 2017, having rather easily beaten Lamont Peterson and Carlos Ocampo in 2018. Garcia (39-0, 30 KO) is a highly talented four-division champion, winning belts at 126, 130, 135, and 140, but there are concerns about how he’ll handle the weight at 147.

The PPV undercard will also feature a super middleweight fight between David Benavidez (20-0, 17 KO) and J’Leon Love (24-2-1, 13 KO); a bantamweight bout between Luis Nery (28-0, 22 KO) and McJoe Arroyo (18-2, 8 KO); and a heavyweight clash between Chris Arreola (37-5-1, 32 KO) and Jean Pierre Augustin (17-0-1, 12 KO). All of those fights are set for 10 rounds.

The FS1 portion of the show will see former heavyweight titleholder Charles Martin (25-2-1, 23 KO) and Gregory Corbin (15-0, 9 KO). That fight is also set for 10 rounds.

Wil Esco is on the call tonight. Join us!
