Chris Colbert made a statement in his July 3 unanimous decision win over Tugstsogt Nyambayar. He hands impressed on Showtime.
Chris Colbert successfully defended his interim WBA super featherweight title against former Olympic medalist Tugstsogt Nyambayar. Colbert’s win was as electric as possible without scoring a knockout.
Although he’s from Brooklyn, New York, the 24-year-old Colbert had the California crowd at Dignity Health Sports Park cheering his praises with every combination he landed on the game Nyambayar. Nyambayar displayed an iron chin and big heart, but Colbert proved to be the greater talent.
Colbert (16-0, 6 KOs) kept his perfect record intact, but more importantly, he looked exceptional doing it. Nyambayar only had a 2020 loss to Gary Russell Jr. on his record coming into the fight, but the 2012 Olympic silver medalist was known for his powerful hands and skilled boxing.
