ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, Lukie and Dakota start with the news. Four-division titleholder Shakur Stevenson signed with Zuffa Boxing. With rumors that Oleksandr Usyk and Devin Haney may sign with Zuffa, is the takeover imminent? What are the guys' thoughts on this? Then, we shift to PBC announcing a deal with DAZN, which would have seemed unheard of before this year. Is this a direct response to Zuffa Boxing? They announced a few fights (without official fight dates), but in August WBA welterweight champ Rolando Romero will face Teofimo Lopez. The guys give early thoughts on this fight.The guys recap a very light week of boxing. Murat Gassiev stopped late-sub Peter Kadiru in six rounds. Kadiru filled in for Gassiev's original opponent, 2016 French Olympic gold medalist Tony Yoka, but was outgunned. Also, Artem Suslenkov stopped former contender Joe Joyce in what should be Joyce's last pro fight. The ending was very sad. Then, we look ahead. Another light week of boxing.Super middleweight Diego Pacheco faces Immanuwel Aleem. It is a DAZN main event bout, and the return of boxing to the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. Lightweight Andy Cruz will face Abraham Montoya, after his original opponent, Albert Bell, fought Abdullah Mason on short notice earlier this month. Middleweight Frank Espinoza and lightweight Sammy Contreras Jr are notable prospects to watch, but a good 50-50 fight to watch for is Saul Sanchez vs. unbeaten Bruno Rios. Heavyweight Leo Atang is someone I keep wondering just how good he is, too. In the U.K., welterweight Harlem Eubank is in tough against David Papot, and on ProBox TV an assortment of fights including Bryan Flores vs. Jonathan Navarro, junior middleweight Kevin Anton vs. Vladimir Hernandez, and Charly Suarez vs. Manuel "Tino" Avila.Timestamps:0:00 Shakur to Zuffa Boxing12:03 PBC to DAZN20:55 Teofimo Lopez vs Rolando Romero29:30 Joe Joyce, Murat Gassiev40:00 Diego Pacheco returns46:40 undercard56:37 Other stuff
