Showtime has officially announced that former world champion Badou Jack (23-3-3, 13 KOs) will now face Dervin Colina (15-0, 13 KOs) in the co-feature of Sunday’s Mayweather-Paul pay-per-view telecast.
Colina is currently rated #13 by the WBA in the super middleweight division. Jack-Colina will be a ten-rounder at light heavyweight. Jack was originally slated to challenge WBA light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal, but Pascal tested positive for three banned substances and was removed from the card.
They found a guy whom is worst than a high school football player to fight. An undefeated fighter who has faced only cab & bus drivers to build up his record and not one American win on his record and he’s a Venezuelan. Really
Have you knocked out 13 ppl, professionally? If your answer is no, hush!
This man is getting his shot. Hopefully it’s a good fight, win or lose.
I’m sorry to hear this. Jack and Pascal I was a fun fight, but even more disappointed to hear of the positive tests for Pascal. He was a guy I was really starting to root for.
As for Badou Jack, this poor guy can’t catch a break. He’s a very solid pro, but seems a little snake bitten. Don’t blame him for a last minute replacement. Who knows, Jack is rarely in a bad fight. I’m still tuning in!
Why pay $$ for this PPV when you can buy the Amazon Fire Stick for $30 and watch every PPV for free for the rest of your life?
Pascal..he is no good boxer even juiced and who in the world gives a crap about him anyway? U must be from Canada Scott..
Kim, pretty close to Canada, but the wrong coast. All I’m saying is that Pascal seemed to be keeping Father Time at the end of his haymakers. Maybe you should of said that I must be old instead. Bottomline, Pascal has been “past his prime” for years now, but still seems competitive at the highest level. Of course, with the positive tests, we have to ask if it was legit.
Note: when I said I was tuning in, I thought this was a Showtime fight. I’m not paying a cent for the Mayweather circus.
Thank you for the clarification, Scott.
Don’t pay for this garbage.
Humm……… this garbage is on Sunday.
I wonder why?
Think about all the prayers! Our father who art in Heaven, please knock the living shit out of this 0-1 joker!
Floyd claims it is on Sunday because all of the major events (Super Bowl, etc are on Sunday) I think he just wants to differentiate from all the big Sat night fights happening this summer and try to grab much of the home crowd on Sunday.
Hate it or love it, having “youtubers” (hate saying that), along with MMA background guys and then mostly all boxers on one show, plus a concert brings many demographics to the table. I won’t buy it but enough people will for this to be a thing for a while
From what I’m hearing in the boxing committee, none of the better fighters were available on such short notice. And it’s not the main event.
