Boxing: June 25 Card at Barclays Center Gets Seven Undercard Bouts

The rescheduled welterweight championship between Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter alone is enough to get boxing fans antsy with anticipation. Toss in the fact the Showtime Championship Boxing on CBS event will kick off its telecast with the sensational featherweight championship bout between titlist Jesus Cuellar and former three-division champ Abner Mares, and the makings of a legendary night are in play.

But the promoters of the colossal fight card at Barclays Center in Brooklyn made the event even more powerful with a stacked undercard.

Junior middleweight Jarrett Hurd (17-0, 11 KOs) will take on Oscar Molina (13-0, 10 KOs) in a scheduled 10-rounder. Light heavyweights David Benavidez (14-0, 13 KOs) and Francy Ntetu (16-0, 3 KOs) will lock horns over eight rounds as well.

Also announced for the undercard will be a junior welterweight Regis Prograis (17-0, 14 KOs); 2012 Spanish Olympian Jonathan Alonso (8-0, 4 KOs); Heather Hardy (16-0, 4 KOs); Adam Kownacki (13-0, 10 KOs); and Josue Vargas (4-0, 3 KOs) all knuckling up with opponents to be named later.
