Caleb Truax vs. Peter Quillin II - August 31, 2019 (Cancelled)

[Ruthless-RKO]

The pair of former titlists and current super middleweights will once again collide—hopefully this time with their fists and not their heads—in a title eliminator, with their rematch taking place August 31 in a primetime edition of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Fox. The pairing was confirmed during Wednesday’s episode of FS1’s Inside PBC Boxing although the venue has yet to be announced although Brooklyn’s Barclays Center is a possibility.

Headlining the show, former 154-pound titlist Erislandy Lara (25-3-3, 14KOs) will face Ramon Alvarez (28-7-3, 16KOs). The bout will be Lara’s second first an Alvarez family member, having dropped a July 2014 majority decision to Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, who was months removed from his super welterweight title reign and still a year away from becoming middleweight champion.

While it is in Lara’s contract to always serve as the main event whenever he fights, the real attraction is part two between Truax and Quillin—especially since they never really had a chance to get going in their cut-shortened FS1 headliner this past April.

The main thing is I figure this was one of the only name fighters that Quillin had a good shot of beating. Everyone else at 168 is gonna be a tough out for him. Truax he could've beat.
