The last two times a welterweight star has fought what we assumed was a lesser opponent on a Fox primetime broadcast, the underdog nearly pulled off the upset. That’s all the more reason to watch the live stream of 147-pound titlist Danny Garcia vs. Adrian Granados on Saturday.
Granados is the kind of fighter that could put a little fear into Garcia. And unlike Josesito Lopez and Yordenis Ugas—who nearly beat big-time betting favorites Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter, respectively, on Fox within the past few months—Granados just might be good enough to pull off the upset against the well-established Garcia.
Here’s all you need to know to live stream the Garcia vs. Granados fight.

Danny Garcia vs. Adrian Granados: Why it matters
Five years ago, Garcia (34-2, 20 knockouts) was one of the top faces at the 140-pound junior welterweight level. He was undefeated, and he was a unified belt-holder. He had twice beaten Hall of Famer Erik Morales and had knocked off top-notch fighters like Amir Khan and Lucas Matthysse. But he’s had more mixed results since moving up to 147 pounds, and he’s lost two of his last three entering Saturday’s fight. Sure, his two losses were to Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter—two of the elite boxers in this division—but the 31-year-old has plenty of work to accomplish to be seen as one of the best fighters at welterweight.
Though Granados’ record isn’t particularly impressive—he’s 20-6-2 with 14 KOs—he’s more dangerous than he lets on. He has a couple of nice wins versus Amir Imam and Mark Salser, both of whom were undefeated at the time. He also very nearly beat Adrien Broner in 2017, and he’s lost a number of split and majority decisions (in other words, he’s been on the wrong end of a few very close fights). If Garcia isn’t careful, Granados could test him.
“I think I have more dog in me than Danny does,” Granados said. “He complains a lot and also gets away with a lot. He does what he has to do to win. I’ve never been given anything and I think I have a lot more to prove than he does. My fights against Shawn Porter and Adrien Broner were good preparation for this. I think against Broner I should have gotten the decision, but I didn’t. Against Porter, I fought the wrong fight and missed the chance I did have. I’ve got a chip on my shoulder from both experiences. This is my chance to show the boxing world that I’m elite and get my title shot.”
Still, Granados is an 8/1 underdog —in part, because this is only Granados’ third fight at 147 pounds and his previous two opponents had a combined record of 32-29-3. (Garcia is a -1600 favorite, meaning you’d have to wager $1,600 to win $100.) Plus, Garcia is likely still talented enough to challenge the absolute top of the division in Terence Crawford and Errol Spence.
A win versus Granados could get him closer to a big-time matchup with one of those two fighters.
“This is another fight for my legacy,” Garcia said. “There have been a lot of great fights in my career and this is another important one for me. I know he’s coming to fight, but I’m looking to make this one of my easiest wins. He’s a tough and aggressive fighter who likes to throw a lot of punches. He’s hungry, and that’s the type of guy that you have to watch out for. I’ve got to handle my business against Granados before I look to any bigger fights.”
