Chris Colbert Vs. Tugstsogt Nyambayar: Prediction fight, card, odds, start time, how to watch, Showtime Boxing

It’s rare to have to be replaced late to have a better fight in the boxing world. However, that is precisely when Yuriorkis Gambo’s injured rib was forced to fight Chris Colbert. Now, Colbert will face Tugstsogt Nyambayar on Saturday night in the attractive Dignity Health Sports Park fight in Carson, California (21:00 ET, Showtime).

Colbert (15-0, 6 KOs) has not been out of the ring since December, stopping Jaime Arboleda in the 11th round of the Showtime main event, the first place in Colbert’s net. In the battle of the groves, Colbert showed an exciting power and a willingness to negotiate in an exciting battle. Colbert won his second successful WBA super featherweight title, Roger Gutierrez had a “regular” WBA championship and Gervonta Davis was a “super” champion.

Colbert’s sharp boxing may have more chances to kick against those other champions, or at least more chances, with a win against the “King Tug,” as he has been a skilled and tough opponent on the big stage before.

Nyambayar (12-1, 9 KOs) won the decision to beat Cobia Breedy last September. In February 2020, after a hard-fought effort against Gary Russell Jr., it was hoped that Nyambayar would have a chance to “get well”. recurring problems for Nyambayar, who had long periods of inactivity, almost cost him the fight, although he managed to get the first two knockouts.

Now, Nyambayar wants to make a statement in the face of a dangerous opponent by taking short-term steps.

“A notice from two weeks ago is enough for me,” Nyambayar said in a press conference ahead of the event. “If I didn’t take the fight, Colbert wouldn’t have a fight. So he should be grateful. Let’s see what happens. I’ll yell at his ass.”

Although the rugged and skillful “King Sokatira” is a great combination, the former showed off his professional career and the latter had an Olympic medal to prove it, he has sometimes been his biggest opponent. Nyambayar has been too passive at times in his last three fights, even giving Russell Jr. a legal fight in the fight for the world title. These lulls of activity are opportunities that Colbert will take advantage of. Colbert is quick with good footwork and can fight Nyambayar with an elegant style that can prevent him from doing what he does best – catching his opponent and working hard on his body. Colbert will also come in with a significant size advantage, both in hand and weight, as Nyambayar will make his 130-pound debut. Assuming the two men meet their latest rules, the fight should be competitive with a victory decided unanimously by Colbert. Select: Chis Colbert via UD
