Highlights
We have been presupposed to have Beterbiev vs Smith on Saturday. We don’t! I suppose that’s not likely a “spotlight.”
It’s every week closely centered on DAZN! Galal Yafai will get a important occasion in Birmingham towards Tommy Frank on Saturday! On Friday, DAZN will compete with DAZN when Jake Paul’s Most Invaluable Prospects returns AND OTX returns!
It’s a lightweight week, there’s no sugarcoating it.
Thursday, Aug. 17
DAZN and Social Media, 8:00 am ET, Yafai vs Frank press convention.
Friday, Aug. 18
DAZN and Social Media, 8:00 am ET, Yafai vs Frank weigh-in.
DAZN, 8:00 pm ET, Kurt Scoby vs Narciso Carmona. A 3rd straight Friday with an OTX Battle Night time from Atlanta. Scoby, 27, was actually enjoyable to observe trucking John Mannu on ShoBox in February, and he additionally blasted out veteran Hank Lundy inside two on June 29, so he’s staying lively. There will likely be different fights, nothing set for a distance longer than eight rounds, some prospects in decently-matched bouts. Dangerous Left Hook may have stay updates.
DAZN, TBA, Nestor Bravo vs Will Madera. That is the Jake Paul-promoted Most Invaluable Prospects present. The difficulty with this one is it’s somewhat robust to name the 29-year-old Bravo a “prospect,” and the 32-year-old Madera positively isn’t. Principally, it is a fairly customary CBS Sports activities Community-type present, which actually appears to be what Paul and Co. have primarily purchased out as an concept. This isn’t truly listed on the DAZN schedule for the time being, however it’ll occur. When you’re watching this one as a substitute, be at liberty to affix the OTX thread and discuss it.
Saturday, Aug. 19
DAZN, 2:00 pm ET, Galal Yafai vs Tommy Frank. To strive being useful, which gained’t matter as a result of individuals will likely be confused on Saturday as at all times, Galal is the youngest of the preventing Yafais, a 30-year-old flyweight who’s making an attempt to maneuver quick along with his professional profession. Good offense, iffy protection, gained a gold medal on the Olympics with out being a stereotypical boring Olympics fighter poking a jab out to attain factors. He isn’t Gamal, his barely older brother who appears to be understandably performed with the game, and he’s not Khalid, the previous 115 lb secondary titlist. Tommy Frank is a 30-year-old from Sheffield, is 0-1-1 in his final two. Cyrus Pattinson, Jordan Flynn, Solomon Dacres, and extra in motion on the cardboard. Just like the OTX, this will likely be a reasonably informal stay protection, however we’ll be right here. Dangerous Left Hook may have stay updates.
FITE PPV, 7:30 pm ET, Redneck Brawl 3: Hillbillies Get Wild!. It is going to be $19.99 if you wish to doubtlessly see this hillbilly “get wild!”:
