Errol Spence Jr. and Mikey Garcia are celebrated champions who are undefeated. They fight on Saturday, March 16. Here’s what you need to know to watch.

Errol Spence Jr. (24-0, 21 KOs) and Mikey Garcia (39-0, 30 KOs) possess flawless records. They’re both world title holders, but in different weight classes which adds to the curiosity of this matchup. Can the significantly smaller Garcia defeat the man who many believe is the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world?

The answer to that question can only be answered after Spence and Garcia meet in the ring after the opening bell. Spence holds the IBF welterweight title while Garcia sports the WBC lightweight belt. Garcia has experience as a super lightweight, but he has never ventured into the 147-pound welterweight landscape. That all changes on Saturday, March 16 when they meet on FOX PPV.

Garcia will try to prove that size doesn’t matter and that his skills are good enough to conquer a superb champion like Spence. At 5-foot-9 and a half, Spence has a 3.5-inch height advantage and a 4-inch reach advantage. Spence is also a southpaw which usually causes trouble for an orthodox fighter like Garcia.

According to the Sportsbook Review, Garcia is holding steady as a three to one underdog. The odds are against him, but Garcia is still one of the best fighters in the world. Boxrec.com has him rated as the 10th best pound-for-pound boxer in the world. It should be noted that Spence comes in at number seven on their list.

To watch Spence vs. Garcia and the majority of the undercard bouts, you need to order the contest via FOX PPV. The cost of the fight is $74.95. There are several other eye-catching boxers competing that night.

Former bantamweight champion Luis Nery (28-0, 22 KOs) is set to appear. Marsellos Wilder (3-1, 2 KOs), younger brother of Deontay Wilder, will try to bounce back from a surprising KO loss in his last performance.

The main undercard is former WBC super middleweight champion David Benavidez (20-0, 17 KOs) vs. J’Leon Love (24-2-1, 13 KOs). Other big names featured are heavyweights Chris Arreola (37-5-1, 32 KOs) and Charles Martin (25-2-1, 23 KOs).

If Garcia finds a way to prove the oddsmakers wrong, then his name will vault to the top of the pound-for-pound lists. At $74.95, the price tag is a bit steep, but it’s a strong fight card from top to bottom. The fight happens on FOX PPV on Saturday, March 16. Coverage begins at 9 PM ET.
