Comments Thread For: Stevenson vs. Ramirez Gold Medal Bout To Air Live On USA Network

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Televised coverage of 2016 Olympic boxing from Rio has been sparse at best, but Team USA will at least have the chance to go out on a high note in front of a live televised audience.

The bantamweight Gold medal matchup between USA's Shakur Stevenson and Cuba's Robeisy Ramirez wil air live on USA Network, NBC Sports brass confirmed Saturday morning after discussing in full detail throughout Friday afternoon and evening. The bout will live and in its entirety on Saturday, with both boxers due in the ring at 1:15 pm ET (2:15 pm Rio time).

Great I saw them interviewing him on the news last night. He looks focused, but has a tough fight. I'll be watching.

Has USA Network been showing Olympic coverage? I totally missed it if they have...been checking regular NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, and NBC Sports Network but never thought to check that particular channel.

It's been kind of a pain to find stuff across all these networks to be honest.

But in any case I'm glad they're televising this match. Stevenson has a big challenge in front of him with Robeisy Ramirez, hope he can pull it off.

Hell yeah. Still can't believe how pretty much everything but boxing has been televised, or at least I haven't found the right channel when it has been on.
