Tonight, June 20 at 8:30 p.m. ET, PBC on NBC returns to primetime at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nev., featuring a highly-anticipated showdown between former titleholders Adrien "The Problem" Broner (30-1, 22 KOs) and "Showtime" Shawn Porter (25-1-1, 16 KOs), fighting at a catchweight of 144lbs. Coverage on NBC begins with Errol "The Truth" Spence Jr. (16-0, 13 KOs) looking to maintain his perfect record in a welterweight bout against Phil "The Italian Sensation" Lo Greco (26-1, 14 KOs).

Blow-by-blow announcer Marv Albert, and analysts "Sugar" Ray Leonard and B.J. Flores call the action. Al Michaels hosts, current middleweight titleholder Daniel Jacobs serves as a corner analyst in his primetime PBC on NBC debut, and Kenny Rice reports from ring-side. After the NBC show, live boxing continues on NBCSN at 11 p.m. ET.

NBC Sports will use PunchTracking technology, which tracks the speed and force of punches thrown and landed in real-time, during Saturday's PBC on NBC broadcast. The data are collected from small chips inside the wrist-area of the boxing gloves. A graphic overlay that illustrates where the punches hit and the associated metrics will be used in replays.

In addition, NBC will utilize a Skycam to provide unique aerial views during the broadcast.
NBCSN presents encore presentations of PBC: CORNER TO CORNER tomorrow leading up to the PBC on NBCbroadcast. The one-hour show takes an inside look at the lives of boxers Adrien Broner, Shawn Porter, and Errol Spence as they prepare for their PBC on NBC bouts.
