Join Bloody Elbow tonight (Saturday, May 5th) for an HBO Boxing doubleheader from the StubHub Center in Carson, California. In the main event, reigning unified middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) takes on short-notice replacement Vanes Martirosyan (36-3-1, 21 KOs). The co-main event is historic, as world #1 pound-for-pound Cecilia Braekhus (32-0, 9 KOs) defends all four of her welterweight titles against Kali Reis (13-6-1, 4 KO), in the first ever women’s boxing match broadcast on HBO.
This obviously isn’t the fight anyone asked for, but thanks to Canelo Alvarez’s drug test failure, this is what we get.
