Premier Boxing Champions has revealed the full lineup for this Saturday’s Andy Ruiz Jr vs. Chris Arreola prelims, which notably feature hard-luck welterweight slugger Adrian Granados and former heavyweight Olympian Oscar Negron.
Per the press release, “[p]ortions of the undercard will be broadcast for free on the FOX Sports app and FOXsports.com starting at 4:40pm ET/1:40 p.m. PT. The undercard feed will also be made available to the PBC on FOX YouTube, Twitter and Facebook pages.”
Granados (21-8-2, 15 KO), who bounced back from his latest highly questionable decision loss to Robert Easter Jr. by crushing a local can in February, meets Jose Luis Sanchez (11-1, 4 KO) in an eight-rounder. Sanchez hasn’t been booked past six rounds since losing an eight-rounder in his third pro fight back in 2013 and his current streak includes nobody of note, so I don’t think Granados has to worry about losing another close one.

Otto Wallin is capitalising on his rise to prominence and took the biggest scalp of his career on Saturday night, overcoming Dominic Breazeale in Connecticut.
Featuring on the undercard of Adrien Broner’s comeback victory over Jovanie Santiago at the Mohegan Sun Casino, Wallin dominated proceedings against former two-time world title challenger, Breazeale, earning an unanimous decision win to follow up his victory over Travis Kauffman at the same venue in August.
