One of the fighters on the Saturday Golden Boy card at Barclays getting his best opportunity to date is also one of the least well-known on the slate. Marco Antonio Periban will face off with "Contender" alum Sakio Bika, and the vacant WBC 168-pound crown will be up for grabs. Not knowing boo about Periban, who has fought mostly in Mexico, and not on TV, I sought him out at a Tuesday media workout at Gleason's and gave him the once-over. I saw a genial, confident, humble sort from Mexico City who convinced me that at the very least, he has a solid game plan to have his hand raised Saturday.
