A welterweight showdown headlines in Las Vegas on Saturday night
On Saturday night, Showtime Championship Boxing comes to Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas for a card headlined by a clash for the WBA's secondary welterweight title. In that bout, Jamal James will put his title on the line against Radzhab Butaev in an evenly-matched scrap. Radzhab Butaev -115 Jamal James -105 (c) WBA world welterweight title Jaron Ennis -4500 Thomas Dulorme +1600 Welterweight Michel Rivera -1500 Jose Matias Romero +850 Lightweight Alberto Palmetta -1000 Yeis Gabriel Solano +650 Welterweight Jose Tito Sanchez Fernando Garcia Featherweight Jean Carlos Torres Darwin Price Super lightweight
James (27-1, 12 KO) is gunning for a shot at the WBA's true world title, currently held by Yordenis Ugas. A shot at Ugas would also give James an opportunity to avenge a 2016 loss that was viewed as an upset. Ugas has gone on to bigger things, including a run as a true world champion and a win over Manny Pacquiao. Meanwhile, James has mostly stagnated while the years have ticked by on the now 33-year-old.
The WBA has set up a four-man tournament with Ugas defending his belt against Eimantas Stanionis and James battling Butaev.
