Lester Martinez vs Luka Plantic: Weigh-In Results & Betting Odds

The weights are in, and all that remains is for interim WBC super-middleweight champion Lester Martinez (20-0-1, 16 KOs) and Luka Plantic (13-0, 10 KOs) to meet in the middle of the ring on Saturday night at the USC Galen Center in downtown Los Angeles, California, live on ProBox TV.

This event will mark ProBox TV’s debut behind a $5-a-month paywall, after being available for free on YouTube. As ProBox TV CEO Garry Jonas mentioned during his interview with FightsATW, the fighters are in position for bigger fights, and he wants to deliver them, but he is asking fans to subscribe for $5 a month to do so. It’s not a bad deal for hardcore fans, but only time will tell whether they remain with the brand after enjoying the free content for a while.

Regarding the main event, Martinez is on the cusp of becoming something special, and a big win on Saturday can help tremendously in getting him to the big fights much quicker. Will he do so, or will Plantic be too much for him to handle?
