After some busy boxing weekends, this Saturday’s Showtime Championship Boxing telecast headlined by undefeated WBA interim super featherweight champion Chris “Primetime” Colbert (15-0, 6 KOs) against late sub Tugstsogt “King Tug” Nyambayar (12-1, 9 KOs) will pretty much be the only significant boxing action as the U.S. celebrates Independence Day Weekend.
The show, which is taking place in Carson, California. will also feature unbeaten lightweight Michel Rivera (20-0, 13 KOs) against Jon Fernández (21-1, 18 KOs) in a WBA eliminator.
Showtime will air a replay of last Saturday’s pay-per-view clash between Gervonta Davis and Mario Barrios as the opening bout of the telecast, and at some point, they will also squeeze in highlights of super lightweight Richardson Hitchins (12-0, 5 KOs) against Darwin Price (17-1, 10 KOs).
Immediately following the Colbert-Nyambayar telecast, Showtime will premiere All Access: Davis-Barrios Epilogue.
Looking for another good scrap again…………
This is a pretty good card actually. Good tests for Colbert and Hitchins and I think Rivera is an excellent prospect.
Colbert better expect high pressure and volume punching with pop because King Tug (KT) will bring the heat. Colbert will have counter punching opportunities. Colbert will try to fight at range, but it would not surprise me if Colbert fights in the pocket because KT will give him no choice. Colbert will have to avoid staying on the defensive too long or KT will outwork him.
I expect an outstanding fight between Colbert vs. King Tug.
great opportunity for them both
If Tug had a decent trainer I’d pick Tug to win.
