Riyadh Season, the Saudi promotional outfit that has taken over big time boxing recently, has announced a megacard for August 3 at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. This is their first boxing event to be staged outside Saudi Arabia.
The lineup includes:
- Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov
- Tim Tszyu vs. Vergil Ortiz
- Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz vs. Jose Valenzuela
- Andy Ruiz vs. Jerrell Miller
- David Morrell vs. Radivoje Kalajdzic
- Andy Cruz vs. Antonio Moran
This is the best boxing environment in memory. So many good fights and fight cards happening. LONG MAY IT LAST. Now if only boxing can fix the scoring dilemma AND get rid of the sanctioning bodies!!!!!
If these are the type of fights we are gonna get from these guys I’ll support ever card they put on !
Thank you, Saudi boxing gods……….
I’ll definitely be in attendance!
The Saudi’s have taken over boxing with some incredibly amazing cards.
Intriguing matchups. One of the top oil producing nations in the world, they have the bankroll. Interesting how they have such high interest in boxing all of a sudden.
They don’t care about it, it’s a way to rebrand their zealous country, where women can’t drive a car and where you can cut in pieces an american citizen in a ambassy.
Women started driving in Saudi Arabia in 2018.
Women can drive.
The Saudi was an American resident killed in a KSA embassy in Turkey.
Excellent card, most cards are evenly matched.
Promoters are in the business to make profit, what is the Saudis angle?
I can understand making a boxing function in KSA, but in the US, where the revenue will come from for them to make a profit.
Nonetheless, good card
It is a nice card. I guess the promoters are not too confident in Dulorme this weekend! LOL!! Neither am I but hey after what happened last weekend…what do I know?
Now that’s a card! Nordic, get me a ticket! I’m in so cal too! Just about all those fights could be the main event.
Hey Killa King. We should definitely meet up sometime. Am I allowed to post my number on here?
Between May 4th and June 1st, you got Canelo – Munguia, Inoue – Nery, Fury – Usyk and Beterbiev – Bivol. That’s 4 undisputed title fights in four weeks and then you got a card like this in August. This is just going to be a fantastic year.
I can’t wait for Ruiz to tee off on Big Slob Miller all night, it’s going to be great to watch!!!
Yesssssssssss babyyyyyyyyy
I know why they doing this
They know Crawford and Vergil are gona win then they will fight after this card
Ajuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa yessssssssss
I pick
Crawford
Vergil
Rayo
Miller
Morrel
Cruz
I would love to see Rayo win, but it is NOT going to happen. I agree with all other choices. Great job, Carlos.
Yeah.
Cruz is going to eat him alive.
I just watched his fight again with Magdaleno and forgot just how vicious a puncher Cruz is.
Vamos rayo I’m with youuuu

When was the last boxing card that was stacked this deep? This reminds me of the old Don King cards from the 90s when the whole card would be championship or championship level fights.
We’re starting to see better cards lately. Maybe, the PPV numbers are down and the promoters realize that one great (or really good) matchup isn’t enough to get a cash strapped fan to buy. I think the Beterbiev vs Bivol card looks really good too and the AJ vs Ngannou card was something we hadn’t seen. It was pretty much all day long and had several intriguing matchups at the top end. Hopefully, this trend continues, but if it does I might have to get a 2nd job. LOL
Hopefully DAZN will cover it – non pay per view.

Keeping it to the point: Wow!!
Early predictions any one? Here’s mine.
Bud by KO (10 round)
Ortiz by KO (11 round)
Cruz by KO (8 round)
Ruiz by MD
Morell by KO (6 round)
Cruz by UD
Cheers to the Saudis for recognizing what a great sport this is and how the scumbag promoters have abused it and its lotal fans for decades.
Hopefully this isn’t the ssme bait and switch matchroom, golden boy
and top rank engage in.
I actually defended Hearn when I first signed up for the DAZN in 2018. Thought the matchups were pretty good. I now understand why everybody hates the guy.
