Six fighters, three bouts, one night — someone's legacy gets KO'd live.
Former world champion Emmanuel Rodriguez takes on streaking contender Melvin Lopez for a vacant 118-pound title in the main event from MGM National Harbor in Maryland. Rodriguez defeated Gary Antonio Russell last October to put himself back in position to fight for a title. Lopez has won eight straight fights. Plus, rising 140-pound star Gary Antuanne Russell faces undefeated Kent Cruz and sensational top prospect Travon Marshall duels unbeaten contender Gabriel Maestre. Live on SHOWTIME.
