On March 2nd, Showtime presents a card from Las Vegas headlined by Richard Abril vs. Sharif Bogere. It’s a new location and a new headline event, as this was originally supposed to be a New York City card headlined by Daniel Ponce de Leon vs. Jayson Velez. Good thing there are still two nice fights to check out, so go ahead and take a peek at the video preview of the event below.
Showtime Boxing returns to the Las Vegas Hard Rock! Watch Richar Abril take on Sharif Bogere and Gary Russell Jr. take on Vyacheslav Gusev live on Saturday March 2nd and 10PM ET/PT
Bogere vs. Abril is definitely an intriguing match. One wonders if it’s going to be aesthetically pleasing whatsoever, but it’s a very important fight for both men, and for the future of the lightweight division in terms of everybody else underneath Adrien Broner.
It’s also nice to see Gary Russell Jr. back after a long layoff. Hopefully, really, this is the last of these fights before he gets in there with somebody worthwhile. Cmon now, he has way too much talent to be wasting away with mediocre fights.
Enjoy the video preview right here for Abril vs. Bogere and Russell vs. Gusev.
