Adrien Broner vs. Mikey Garcia: Fight Time, Date, Live Stream and TV Info

No world titles are involved, but there is still plenty on the line for Adrien Broner and Mikey Garcia as they get set to fight on Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

In a super lightweight bout, Broner is looking to prove he can still mix it up at the top level. He's won three straight since a loss to Shawn Porter in 2015, but the quality of his competition has been lacking and he's had plenty of time off between those bouts. 

He has incentive to prove himself even before he steps into the ring, as he faces a $500,000 penalty if he does not make the 140-pound weight limit, per Sky Sports' Nick Lustig (Broner has twice lost out on titles at weigh-ins).

For Garcia, he's boxing at super lightweight for only the second time, having last fought at the lightweight level and spending much of his career in the featherweight ranks.

The 29-year-old is putting his unblemished record on the line against a four-division world champion, and he is still only a couple of fights and a couple of years removed from a long two-and-a-half year layoff from the sport. A win on Saturday would be a massive boost for Garcia.

Though Broner has had plenty of success in his career—but not as much as he would like to have people think—he's coming into this fight as quite the underdog. According to OddsShark, as of July 26, he is valued at 333-100 (stake $10 for $43.30 payout), while Garcia is the 2-9 favorite. 

Broner hasn't quite been at his best in recent fights. He failed to make the weight against Ashley Theophane in April 2016, which saw him lose out on a chance at the WBA world super lightweight title. He ended up with a ninth-round TKO win.

Against Adrian Granados earlier this year, Broner won a narrow split-decision victory in a bout that saw him show off his precise counterpunching but fail to control the fight against a motivated opponent. Also, he had trouble getting down to 142 pounds for that fight and had the weight limit moved up to 147, per The Ring's Mitch Abramson. 

With his difficulties making weight and his seeming inability to stay out of legal trouble, it's easy to see why so many are picking against "The Problem." A poll conducted by The Ring showed about 80 percent of those responding believe Garcia will beat his controversial opponent.

Indeed, Garcia is perhaps the most talented boxer Broner has faced to this point in his career, but according to Yahoo Sports' Kevin Iole, the 27-year-old from Cincinnati isn't concerned with that angle:

"I mean, you can say that, but at the end of the day, man, I fought a lot of good fighters then, but I'm just worried about getting my victory, man. I can say the fact, but I ain't trying to get into all that right now. I'm more focused and ready to fight."

Broner will have to be sharp, because a loss to Garcia will give plenty of ammunition to his detractors in spite of the multiple titles he's won in his career.

Garcia has looked excellent in his last two fights following the long contract dispute that kept him out of the ring from January 2014 to July 2016.

He knocked Elio Rojas down four times in his return bout after the layoff and went on to dismantle then-undefeated Dejan Zlaticanin by a third-round knockout in January, earning the WBC world lightweight title in the process. The knockout, on a devastating string of three punches that ended with a right hook, is something to behold for its power and precision.

Garcia will have to hope his power holds up as he moves up in weight to take on Broner while also being wary of his opponent's strength and comfort fighting at and around 140.

As CBS Philly's Joseph Santoliquito noted, the style of the fight could be massively important:

"But there are strong indications this is Garcia's fight to lose. He's far more disciplined in and out of the ring than Broner, who's had issues making weight in the past. He's also smart enough not to be lured into Broner's game, and that's a slugfest. On fight night, Broner could possibly be anywhere between eight to 10 pounds heavier than Garcia. A slower, phone booth fight may favor Broner, while a quick, skilled pace seems more Garcia's game."

It's a huge opportunity for Garcia, who can use a win over Broner to garner greater and more lucrative opportunities and prove the contract dispute did little to disrupt the consistent upward trajectory of his career. A loss, though, means he will have to rebound quickly if he is to make the leaps in the sport so many think he is capable of.
