"This is a fantastic card for true boxing fans, because it has all the elements that make the sport great,'' said Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions. "You have a young contender in Eddie Ramirez looking to rebound from the first loss of his career facing a battle-tested former world champion in Argenis Mendez. You also have a young hungry contender in Nyambayar taking a major step forward by facing a strong contender in Escandon who wants to get back in the title mix. No one wants to take a step backwards.''

  • OSCAR ESCANDON vs TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR
  • JUSTIN DELOACH vs JEISON ROSARIO
  • JUSTIN ZUNIGA vs JUSTIN PAUL
 
Escandon (25-3, 17 KOs) is trying to climb back into the featherweight title picture after losing by TKO to world champion Gary Russell, Jr. in his last fight on May 20. The 33-year-old from Ibague, Colombia scored a knockout victory over Robinson Castellanos in a 2016 interim featherweight title fight and lost a split decision to Moises Flores in a 2015 interim super bantamweight title bout.

Nyambayar (9-0, 8 KOs) went the distance for the first time as a pro last time in the ring as he earned an eight round unanimous decision over then unbeaten Harmonito Dela Torre last November. The 25-year-old from Ulan-Bator, Mongolia won a silver medal at flyweight at the 2012 London Games and has trained in California since turning pro in 2015.

Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer and there's no better way to kick off the season than with three hours of boxing as Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes delivers a night of action Saturday, May 26 from the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Once-beaten Eddie Ramirez will take on former world champion Argenis Mendez in a 10-round super lightweight showdown in the main event, while former title challenger Oscar Escandon meets unbeaten 2012 Olympic silver medalist Tugstsogt Nyambayar in a 10-round featherweight bout in the co-main event.

Televised action begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and will also feature Justin DeLoach (17-2, 9 KOs) taking on Jeison Rosario (14-1-1, 11 KOs) in a 10-round middleweight match plus unbeaten Joshua Zuniga (9-0, 4 KOs) clashing with Justin Pauldo (10-1, 5 KOs) in an eight-round lightweight attraction.
 
Terrible main event. Between this and the Antonio Tarver fight, FS1 wreaks of desperation after UFC left. UFC was 75% of FS1 content.
 
I just tuned in.

Justin Deloach vs. Jeison Rosario is next.
 
Deloach is fun to watch and Nyambayar is a solid prospect. The main event really isnt worth watching.
 
Deloach is up 2-0, but I don't have much else to say about the fight thus far...
 
just tuned in, have i missed much? deloach lookin sharp.
 
R1: Deloach
R2: Deloach
R3: Deloach (he turned up in this round)
R4: not sure, as I passed out during part of it
R5: Deloach (a couple good punches landed by Rosario, but he whiffed on everything else)
 
BIG knockdown at the end of R6 for Rosario!

Deloach fell down and looked like:

R1: Deloach 10-9
R2: Deloach 10-9
R3: Deloach 10-9 (he turned up in this round)
R4: not sure, as I passed out during part of it
R5: Deloach 10-9 (a couple good punches landed by Rosario, but he whiffed on everything else)
R6: Rosario 10-8 (Deloach got knocked down at the end of the round)
R7: Rosario 10-9
R8: Deloach 10-9 (technical and good movement by Deloach; Rosario only landed one decent punch the entire round)
R9: Rosario 10-9 (Deloach decreased his punch output, while Rosario upped his own and landed a few good shots with some other straights/jabs landed)
R10: Rosario 10-8 (Deloach got flash knocked down; he got back up and didn't dispute it, so it must've been legit)

I'm not sure who won since I fell asleep during Round 4.

The commentators think Rosario won after he got the second knockdown.
 
Deloach = glass cannon. Hed fit the MMA bill
 
R1: Escandon 10-8 (flash knockdown)
R2: Nyambayar 10-7 (2 knockdowns)
R3: Nyambayar (3 knockdowns and the fight was stopped)

Tugstsogt Nyambayar with a good performance.
