Boxing By Sunday Puncher

We’re back to fully breakdown and discuss the Vasyl Lomachenko vs Miguel Marriaga beat down. We discuss why it was a ratings failure and who should really be held accountable for the disappointment. We somehow tie it to Adrien Broner and it will make sense. Also, how HBO divides the boxing community, delusional promoters, and the proposed plan for Bryant Jennings. Plus, Claressa Shields’s dominant performance and her future (yes, we discuss Ronda Rousey), the retirement of Juan Manuel Marquez and Tim Bradley, why we need to add Manny Pacquiao to the list, and Paulie Malignaggi’s sneaky plan. Plus quick hits on David Benavidez, Zou Shiming, Terence Crawford, Orlando Salido, and more! And we cap it all off with a big discussion on Canelo vs Golovkin and some controversial takes there!

Direct quote from Jason, “Definitely the podcast I’m most proud of.” Jason joins me for a wild hour of boxing talk. We talk about Mikey Garcia’s entry into the category of unbeatable fighters, Jermall Charlo’s entry at middleweight and potential opponents, Zou Shiming’s loss, and the retirements of Fury, Klitschko, Miura, Uchiyama, and Bradley. Plus we discuss trainers who try to sell fights, upcoming fights, potential of a Spence vs Horn showdown, and a new kind of tournament. Direct download. Soundcloud.

Jason and Fred join the podcast to discuss the long history of UFC trying to replicate the success of Floyd Mayweather, how Conor McGregor got the Mayweather fight, the UFC’s role, financial differences between the two sports, and why this fight has been signed. We also discuss where Canelo, as boxing’s second biggest draw, now fits into the equation. What Canelo’s future will be, how many pay-per-view buys we expect from his Golovkin fight, and much more.
