A live broadcast of the boxing event from New York, where at the famous arena of Madison Square Garden, Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko once again tries to rewrite history and become world champion in his third weight category in his just 12th fight at the pros. The Ukrainian will face the strongest lightweight boxer, WBA champion Jorge Linares, who last lost in 2012.
On the side of Linares there will be a clear advantage in anthropometry - he is 3 cm taller than Loma and has a longer reach - the difference with Vasyl is 10 cm. Obviously, at the time of the fight in the ring, Linares will also have an advantage in weight and will be heavier than Lomachenko.
In the US, the main event will be broadcasted by ESPN, in the UK - by BoxNation, and in Ukraine - by Inter channel. The beginning of the broadcast of the main event is at 8 pm ET.
In the broadcast on ESPN and BoxNation should be three fights:
Michael Conlan - Ibon Larringa (8 rounds in the featherweights)
Carlos Adams - Alejandro Barrera (10 rounds at welterweights)
Jorge Linares - Vasyl Lomachenko (12 rounds in the lightweights for the WBA title)
Ukrainian TV channel "Inter" will start broadcasting at 8 pm from the documentary project "Boxer of the Year", and at 8:30 they will switch to the "Big Boxing" studio.
Most likely, the main event, the fight of Lomachenko and Linares will begin around 9 pm ET.
