@@@@@NOW@@@@@Jeff Horn vs Manny Pacquiao L.i.v.e fight s.t.r.e.a.m F.r.e.e

Legendary Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao faces a unique challenge Saturday, as he faces welterweight challenger Jeff Horn in his backyard of Australia. The fight is expected to be in front of the largest live crowd that Pacquiao has boxed, with Suncorp Stadium housing upwards of 60,000 people. Suncorp actually had to get a permit to increase its capacity, as the event is viewed by many Australians as the biggest boxing event in the country's history.
This will mark Pacquiao's third fight since his infamous bout with Floyd Mayweather in 2015. The 38-year old went 2-0 in 2016, decisively defeating Timothy Bradley Jr., followed by a win over Jessie Vargas where Pacquiao reclaimed the WBO welterweight title that he lost to Mayweather. Other events on the card include Shane Mosley Jr. and Michael Conlan defending their super middleweight and super bantamweight titles, respectively. Conlan is a huge favorite over Jarrett Owen in his fight, while oddsmakers are giving David Toussaint a fighting chance against Mosley Jr. Jerwin Ancajas is also a heavy favorite over Teiru Kinoshita to hold onto his super flyweight belt, it is anticipated to be a breakout fight for Ancajas. Here's how the full card shakes out.

Tonight at 9 pm ET on ESPN, Manny Pacquiao returns to the ring in Brisbane, Australia, hitting the road to take on home hero Jeff Horn, with Pacquiao’s WBO welterweight title on the line.

We’ll have live coverage for the card, with Wil Esco on the round by round call.

Pacquiao (59-6-2, 38 KO) is the heavy favorite in the fight, and to some, the only real question is whether or not he’ll score his first stoppage win since 2009. Horn (16-0-1, 11 KO) is a former Olympian, but totally untested not just on this level, but the level (maybe two or three) below this, too.

The undercard will feature a second world title fight, as Jerwin Ancajas (26-1-1, 17 KO) defends the IBF super flyweight title against Teiru Kinoshita (25-1-1, 8 KO). Ancajas is an even bigger betting favorite than Pacquiao.

The ESPN broadcast will also feature Shane Mosley Jr (10-1, 7 KO) taking on David Toussaint (10-0, 8 KO), and Michael Conlan (2-0, 2 KO) facing Jarrett Owen (5-4-3, 2 KO).
