The event, which will be televised live on HBO World Championship Boxing beginning at 07:35 p.m. local time, will now include six bouts of non-televised action for ticketed fans to enjoy before the main showdown.
The promising undercard lineup will feature East Bay familiar, Bilal Mahasin and a collection of Roc Nation Sports' brightest prospects including, Daniel "Twitch" Franco, Rudy "The Revelation" Puga Jr. and Darmani "Rock Solid" Rock. Roc Nation Sports' sparkplug Maurice "Mighty Mo" Hooker also looks to ignite Oracle Arena as the card's co-feature in a 10-round NABO Junior Welterweight Title clash against Tyrone Barnett.
