Esther Lin/SHOWTIME It took 9 months longer than originally expected, but Isaiah Steen (16-0, 12 KO) and Kalvin Henderson (14-1-1, 10 KO) finally faced each other in the ring.

Amanda Westcott/SHOWTIME Charlo vs Castano live coverage continues! We’ve still got tonight’s main event left to go, for all the marbles at 154 lbs!

The 39-year-old Cuban did survive that round, but Zurdo put him down two more times in the...

Esther Lin/SHOWTIME Chris Colbert took a short-notice challenge from Tugstsgot Nyambayar and came away with a solid win tonight on Showtime, out-pointing the 2012 Olympic silver medalist to win a clear decision. Colbert (16-0, 6 KO) won on scores of 117-111, 118-110, and 118-110. Bad Left Hook also had the fight 118-110 for Colbert, as did Showtime’s Steve Farhood. Colbert, 24, was originally meant to fight faded Yuriorkis Gamboa, who pulled out late with a rib injury.
