Tugstsogt Nyambayar vs Claudio Marrero Live Stream
Back in September we reported that Mongolian sources were reporting that talks were under-way to organise a bout between Tugstsogt Nyambayar (10-0, 9) pНямбаярын Тогсцогт] and Dominican fighter Claudio Marrero (23-2, 17).
Those talks hinged on Nyambayar healing up from an injury, which meant the two wouldn't fight in 2018, but were likely to face off in early 2019.
It now appears the bout is signed and sealed with both Dominican and Mongolian sites reporting the bout is now set for January 26th Barclay Center in New York.
The bout will be Nyambayar's first bout since May of this year, when he stopped Oscar Escandon in 3 rounds, and is a notable step up in class for the Mongolian prospect. Although stepping up he and his team do seem confident, and there is real belief that Nyambayar could be fast tracked to a world title fight in the very near future, though of course he will have to get past Marrero.
The Dominican fighter is 29 year old southpaw with explosive power, as he showed last time out when he stopped Jorge Lara. Although he's heavy handed, and a former WBA interim world champion, he has been stopped himself, by Jesus M Rojas, and does look to be a clear step behind the top fighters in the division. A win for him however will push him back into the title mix.
This bout is a really interesting one, and the winner will certainly be on the verge of of a major world title fight later in the year.
