Prediction: Colbert UD
Background: Colbert, 24, is one of the most-gifted young fighters in the world. The product of Brooklyn has a combination of speed and skills that will make life difficult for any opponent. He isn’t a one-punch knockout artist but he has enough power to hurt opponents, as he demonstrated most recently in his knockout victory over Jaime Arboleda in December. He’s ranked No. 1 by the WBA, meaning a title shot is on the horizon if he continues to win. Gervonta Davis is the WBA 130-pound champion but, having fought at 140 last week, might not defend his title. That could open a door for Colbert. He was supposed to have fought Yuriorkis Gamboa on Saturday but the 39-year-old Cuban pulled out because of an injury less than two weeks ago. Enter Nyambayar, who enthusiastically agreed to take the fight. This might be a case in which the replacement is more dangerous than the original opponent. Nyambayar, a Los Angeles-based Mongolian, is a 2012 Olympic silver medalist and still only 29. The boxer-puncher lost a wide decision to longtime 126-pound champ Gary Russell Jr. in February of last year, his only title shot. He bounced back with a split-decision victory over capable Cobia Breedy in September. He put Breedy down in each of the first two rounds to take a four-point lead but lost the majority of the remaining 10 rounds. Boxing Junkie scored that fight 115-111 in Nyambayar’s favor. He has fought above 126 three times but not since May 2018.
