This evening’s PBC on CBS card is set and ready to unfold in Corpus Christi, Texas. Anthony Dirrell weighed in at 169.6 pounds and Marco Antonio Rubio 169.4 for their Super Middleweight headliner. Which, actually, unbeknownst to moi, appears to be taking place slightly higher at a 170 pound catchweight. Or so it would now appear. Anyway, both fighters are set to fight.
Dirrell will enter the ring 27-1-1, 22 knockouts, and Rubio 59-7-1, 51 knockouts.
ThaBoxingVoice cameras caught all the action:
