Menard-Beltran to open HBO Telecast on Saturday
“Rock Hard Mighty” Mason Menard (32-1, 24 KOs) will be looking to make a statement on Saturday as he defends his NABO lightweight title against Ray Beltran (31-7-1, 19 KOs) on Saturday at CenturyLink Center Omaha in Omaha, Nebraska. The 10-round Menard vs. Beltran lightweight showdown will serve as the second bout of a triple header that will open with the same-day delay telecast of the Joseph Parker vs. Andy Ruiz Jr. WBO heavyweight championship in New Zealand with the main event being T WBC/WBO junior welterweight champion Terence “Bud” Crawford (29-0, 20 KOs) against game veteran John Molina Jr. (29-6, 23 KOs).
