It'll be after the ESPN broadcast. It's all the same card, just part is televised on ESPN and part on ESPN+.
Really used to like Kovlev. Thought he was robbed in the first ward fight. 2nd one seemed like he was hit low often. The Alvarez fight was a KO and he seems to be going down hil now. Don’t know how to feel right now about him.
Definitely feels like one last hurrah for Kovalev here. That probably changes with a win, but probably done as a top-level fighter/opponent with another loss.
I meant the way Lopez acted at the end. Seemed completely classless and chicken shit. I think in this sport you show respect to your opponent when it’s done.
If he can keep this up, Krusher 2.0 could work. Fighting smarter, but still landing big shots. I like it.
Tank Davis missed weight for his fight tomorrow. .2 over. Has an hour to drop it, which I assume he will, being that close, unless he’s just completely dried out.
Just one card tonight, but one of the rising stars in the sport in the main event with Tank Davis. SHO, 10:00 pm ET, Gervonta Davis vs Hugo Ruiz, Mario Barrios vs Richard Zamora, Javier Fortuna vs Sharif Bogere. This was supposed to be a bigger fight, with Davis defending his WBA “super world” 130-pound belt against Abner Mares, but Mares got hurt and Ruiz, a former titleholder at 122, is in on short notice. Davis (20-0, 19 KO) was originally scheduled to face Abner Mares tonight, but Mares had to pull out of the fight with an injury. So Ruiz (39-4, 33 KO), a former titleholder at 122 pounds, has stepped in on short notice, just a few weeks after his last fight, a 10-round decision win over Alberto Guevara on the Pacquiao-Broner undercard. Ruiz does have power, but that was mostly shown as a super bantamweight. He’s two divisions over that tonight, and Davis is the clear favorite here. In the co-feature, 140-pound rising contender Mario Barrios (22-0, 14 KO) is back in action, taking on Richard Zamora (19-2, 12 KO) in a fight scheduled for 10 rounds. The opener is a lightweight fight, also set for 10 rounds, between vetearns Sharif Bogere (32-1, 20 KO) and Javier Fortuna (33-2-1, 23 KO).
