We recap our BIG March 3rd fight night, former welterweight world champ Jessie Vargas checks in and we preview our March 10th card in San Antonio.

THIS is PBC Jabs!
 
On March 3rd undefeated heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder retained his WBC title against previously unbeaten Cuban contender Luis Ortiz on Showtime. It was a back-and-forth main event as Wilder weathered a seventh-round storm from Ortiz-before "The Bronze Bomber" unleashed an onslaught of his own in the 10th round, sending Ortiz to the canvas twice forcing the referee to stop the fight. In the co-main event Jose Uzcategui defeated Andre Dirrell by 9th round TKO as Dirrell's trainer, Virgil Hunter, stopped the fight. Uzcategui becomes the interim IBF 168-pound world champ and is in position to fight current IBF 168-pound title holder Caleb Truax.
