    According to Eric Raskin.

    "The network will not show a co-feature, but it will include highlights of two undercard bouts. Two of GBP's brightest prospects, 21-year-old Brooklyn super middleweight Danny Jacobs and 20-year-old Philadelphia welterweight Danny Garcia, both sporting records of 5-0 (5 KOs), will be seen on HBO in brief clips against nonthreatening opposition."

    "What Schaefer and GBP originally had in mind, more so than not-ready-for-prime-time players like Garcia and Jacobs, was to try to get a more advanced young contender on the air. Names like bantamweight Abner Mares and featherweight Jorge Linares (who was recently labeled by Max Kellerman on ESPN Radio as a potential future pound-for-pound king and who just happens to be nicknamed "El Nino De Oro," or "The Golden Boy") were tossed about.
