Felix Alvarado retains title, but his twin brother, Rene, loses his by a point

Boxing

Lightweight sensation Ryan Garcia takes on Luke Campbell for the vacant WBC interim lightweight title in the main event of a DAZN card at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Saturday.

Garcia (20-0, 17 KOs) has won four of his past five fights by stoppage, including an impressive first-round KO over Francisco Fonseca on Feb. 14. Campbell (20-3, 16 KOs) hasn’t fought since losing a unanimous decision challenging Vasiliy Lomachenko for the lightweight championship in August 2019.

In the co-main event, Rene Alvarado defends his WBA “regular” junior lightweight title against Roger Gutierrez in a 12-round battle.

Alvarado (32-8, 21 KOs) has won eight fights in a row, including six by stoppage, since a decision loss to Yuriorkis Gamboa almost four years ago. Gutierrez (24-3-1, 20 KOs) suffered consecutive loses to Oscar Duarte and Hector Tanajara in 2018, but he has won five consecutive bouts, four by stoppage.

Also on the card, Rene’s twin brother, Felix Alvarado (35-2, 30 KOs), defends his IBF junior flyweight world title against DeeJay Kriel (16-1-1, 8 KOS) in a 12-round fight.
