Taylor vs Davies, more: Boxing fight times and TV schedule for July 7-8
A light weekend before the boxing schedule kicks into high gear for the summer.
Friday, July 7
Telemundo, 11:35 pm ET, Sammy Valentin vs Giovanni Santillan. As Telemundo cards go, this one is actually pretty decent. Valentin and Santillan are both undefeated, and the show features 2016 Olympians Teofimo Lopez and Antonio Vargas in action, too.
Saturday, July 8
BT Sport/BoxNation (UK), 1:30 pm ET, Richard Baranyi vs Anthony Yarde, Bradley Skeete vs Dale Evans.
Channel 5 (UK), 5:00 pm ET, Josh Taylor vs Ohara Davies. Here’s a terrific prospect vs prospect matchup for the Commonwealth junior welterweight title. Taylor (9-0, 8 KO) and Davies (15-0, 12 KO) are both promising fighters, 26 and 25 years old, respectively, and are facing the most talented fighter either of them has taken on to date. When this fight was signed, I was surprised handlers for both guys were willing to risk it, but they are, and we get a good fight as a result. BLH will have live coverage.
Azteca (MEX), 11:00 pm ET, Moises Fuentes vs Ulises Lara.
Televisa (MEX), 11:00 pm ET, Mariana Juarez vs Terumi Nuki.
