Future Hall of Famer Nonito Donaire versus Alexandro Santiago for the vacant WBC bantamweight title will now take place on the July 29 Spence-Crawford PPV undercard at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Donaire-Santiago, which was originally scheduled to take place this Saturday on Showtime, will be the second fight of the pay-per-view.
In the telecast opener, super welterweight Sergio Garcia will now face Yoenis Tellez in a ten rounder. Garcia was originally scheduled to face Jesus Ramos Jr. However Ramos was forced to withdraw due to a hand injury.
The previously announced Gurgen Hovhannisyan vs. Viktor Faust bout was removed after Faust was forced to withdraw because of a back injury.
The Spence-Crawford pay-per-view also features lightweight Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz against Giovanni Cabrera in a WBC and WBA title eliminator in the co-main event.
Always enjoy a Nonito fight! Glad it’s on the card.
Awesome addition!
Crawford beat 7 undefeated fighters since October 2013. Gamboa, Jean, Indongo, Benavidez all had to fight Crawford in Nebraska. Avanesyan had to fight Crawford in Nebraska and Crawford was wearing some bum boxing brand gloves that stuffing came out of. Like, wear Reyes or Canelo’s brand (No Boxing, No Life) if you’ve got have have Mexican style gloves. Since 2017, Crawford has fought all tough guys (with the exception of the Khan fight).
Since the Bundu fight, Spence has been fighting tough opposition. Van Heerden in 2015 was a pretty tough matchup too.
Crawford is not used to going beyond 9 rounds since he’s been 140 and higher. Benavidez and Postol the only guys who went to championship rounds with him up over 135.
Go for the gold!
– $85 PPV on Showtime.
– Thank you again, Amazon Firestick………
You would have to be trash to Stream a fight that all the fans been asking for. This is not an Exhibition match. Fights like these are what makes Boxing a great sport.
Fans like you do nothing but bad for the sport. These guys are putting their lives on the line fighting the very best they can and you mention streaming in the comments? Gary G You should be ashamed! Keep this broke mentality to yourself.
Any grown man complain about $85 dollars need to put sports down, they have bigger issues they need to address.
– Since we both live in NJ, I am going to give it right back to you straight up:
– TFB that you don’t like me using my Fire Stick to watch PPV.
– Take care.
– Gary G.
