Watch Showtime’s big night of fights here, featuring four fights from both sides of the Atlantic, and join Bloody Elbow for live coverage.
This evening, Saturday, May 20, Bloody Elbow presents live fight night coverage of Showtime Championship Boxing Russell Jr. vs. Escandon. The card airs live tonight on Showtime with a fight time of 6:00 p.m. ET. We will have results and live discussion right here, and stay with Bloody Elbow for live updates and analysis all night.
This is a big card, with four fights emanating from two locations. Kicking things off is a big fight from London where Floyd Mayweather protege Gervonta Davis makes his first world title defense. He takes on England’s Liam Walsh in what should be a very good test for the young Davis. That fight will be presented on Showtime in a slight tape delay – our coverage here will be based on the Showtime airing (so please, no spoilers in the comments for those watching Showtime).
After that, we switch gears to the US for a triple-header headlined by Gary Russell, Jr. vs. Oscar Escandon. This is a showcase fight for champion Russell and should be easy work for him. Also on the card is a pair of decent undercard fights highlighting Andre Dirrell and Rances Barthelemy.
Here is the full fight card, with live streaming results available tonight.
