  Did Keyshawn Make a BAD BUSINESS Move? | Lamont Roach Has a MAJOR FLAW?!

  Aug 11, 20261h 13mS2

  Was Quinton Randall ROBBED against Raul Curiel? We kick off the show debating the controversial decision and whether the judges took a win away from Randall. Then we jump into William Zepeda vs Lamont Roach Jr. Zepeda’s relentless pressure earns him the WBC lightweight title, but what did the fight expose about Roach at 135 and how dangerous is Zepeda moving forward? From there, things get HEATED. Keyshawn Davis turned down the opportunity to fight Devin Haney for the WBO welterweight title. Was it really a business decision… or did Keyshawn DUCK Devin? We finish by looking ahead at two major fights. Claressa Shields returns August 15 against unified middleweight champion Kaye Scott as Shields looks to add another chapter to her historic career. Then August 22, Rolly Romero defends his WBA welterweight title against Teofimo Lopez. Teo is coming to 147 looking to become a three division champion but Rolly has made a career out of ruining plans.

  SPENCE BLEW HIS COMEBACK? | KEYSHAWN CAN’T HANDLE BOXERS? | ROACH vs ZEPEDA

  Jul 28, 20261h 8mS2

  PBC’s new partnership with DAZN couldn’t have gotten off to a much rougher start. Jermall Charlo was forced off the card after being denied entry into Australia because of visa issues tied to his legal history, and Stephen “Cool Boy” Fulton came in a shocking 6.5 pounds overweight, leading to another canceled fight and leaving the card in disarray before the opening bell. Was this just bad luck, or a terrible first impression for PBC’s new era? We then dive deep into Tim Tszyu vs. Errol Spence Jr. We discuss the exact point Spence began fading, his retirement announcement after the fight, and whether taking on an opponent like Tszyu after a three-year layoff was the right move. Should he have taken a tune-up first? We also look back at Spence’s legendary run, the risks he always took, and debate one of the biggest questions in boxing: Is Errol Spence Jr. a first-ballot Hall of Famer? From there we touch on Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua’s chin after another shaky performance, Hamzah Sheeraz’s evolution from knockout artist to more complete boxer, and whether he has what it takes to dominate the loaded 168-pound division. Josh Kelly successfully defended his IBF title, which naturally leads to a discussion about a potential showdown with Jaron “Boots” Ennis. Can that fight actually happen, and what would both sides need to agree on to finally make it a reality? We also react to Bill Haney’s appearance on Mill City Boxing with Coach Dorsey, where he began building the argument that Keyshawn Davis has historically struggled more with skilled boxers than punchers. Is Devin Haney really the style that gives Keyshawn the most problems? To close out the show, we give our full predictions for the William Zepeda vs. Lamont Roach Jr. card, including a spotlight on Houston’s own Quinton Randall, who takes on Raul Curiel in the biggest opportunity of his career. We discuss what a win would mean for Quinton and why this could be the fight that changes everything for him.

  Does Everyone NEED Devin Haney? | BOOTS vs VERGIL Next? | Crawford to 160?

  Jul 21, 20261h 14mS2

  Andy Ruiz had the boxing world asking questions after his latest interview… and yeah, we had jokes. Before we get into the laughs, we break down his new multi-fight deal with Matchroom and what it means for the heavyweight division. Then we dive into Terence Crawford’s comments on The Breakfast Club, where he revealed the only fights that really interested him after Canelo: a rematch with Canelo if the contract allowed it, or going for undisputed at 160 against the winner of Janibek. We also react to Andy Cruz’s dominant third-round stoppage of Abraham Montoya and debate who’s the right first big test for him as he heads back to 130. Next up, Eddie Hearn dropped a major update on Boots Ennis vs. Vergil Ortiz. According to Hearn, Boots made plenty of concessions the first time around. Now he’s a unified champion at 154, has leverage, has options, and isn’t rushing into anything. Is this still the next super fight… or is it already slipping away? We also take a moment to honor Hannah Rapp after the tragic news of her passing. Rest in peace. Chris Mannix says Devin Haney holds the keys to 147 because Ryan Garcia, Shakur Stevenson and Keyshawn Davis all want him. We don’t let that slide. We debate who actually wants who, whether Devin really controls the division, and if some of these callouts are more about timing than genuine interest. Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn is officially on, and while it wasn’t the fight most fans were asking for, the business behind it is fascinating. Paramount, DAZN, Golden Boy and Zuffa Boxing all came together to make it happen. Could this be the blueprint for finally getting the biggest fights in boxing including the ones involving Shakur Stevenson? We close the show with Errol Spence Jr.’s long-awaited return against Tim Tszyu at 160. After nearly three years away and with Ronnie Shields now in his corner, does Spence still have enough to make one more championship run?

  Shakur’s Zuffa Deal Raises Questions | Teofimo’s BEST Days Behind Him? | Can Fundora Beat Boots?

  Jul 16, 202648 minS2

  On this episode, we kick things off with Andre Ward breaking down what it was really like fighting Sergey Kovalev. Ward said Kovalev was physically weaker than people think in the clinch, but his punching power was still serious. So we asked Cedric Agnew if he saw the same thing from his own experience sharing the ring with Kovalev. Then we get into Sebastian Fundora saying he has more than one way to beat Jaron “Boots” Ennis that he can box with him or fight him on the inside. We debate whether Fundora actually has the tools to keep Boots at range or if that’s a dangerous game against one of boxing’s most complete fighters. From there, we talk Oscar De La Hoya’s roadmap for his stable, including the proposed Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn fight, and whether Golden Boy is making the right moves. Next up, we break down PBC’s new broadcast partnership with DAZN and what it could mean for boxing’s future. Then we tie that into Shakur Stevenson’s move to Zuffa Boxing after Shakur said there’s no reason the biggest fights can’t happen now that he has the financial backing behind him. We close the show with Teofimo Lopez vs. Rolly Romero. These two have history dating back to sparring in 2017, but both fighters insist they’re completely different now. So we ask, has Teofimo declined since beating Lomachenko? Has Rolly quietly become a better fighter? And if both are true, is this actually a much more dangerous fight for Teo than people realize?

  Episode #48

  HANEY Thinks BOOTS Is Beatable | Is Abdullah Mason REALLY Ready? | BOOTS Ennis Is P4P?

  Jul 6, 20261h 3mS2

  Mac sat this one out, so it’s just Q Ced and Val breaking down another big week in boxing. We kick things off with Abdullah Mason’s win over Albert Bell. Did this performance prove Mason is the next star at lightweight, or did Bell expose some flaws? We break down Mason’s slow start, the adjustments he made, and how he took over the second half before getting the late stoppage. Then we recap the rest of the card and discuss the standout performances from the undercard. Next, we dive into Rayo Valenzuela vs. Edwin De Los Santos 2 on Zuffa Boxing 08. Four years after their first fight, was this redemption for Rayo, or is there still controversy surrounding the rivalry? We go back and forth on whether the result settled the debate once and for all. We also discuss Oscar De La Hoya’s comments about trying to stop Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn. Is it really a fight nobody asked for? Does it make business sense? If the fight happens, where should it take place? From there, we break down Richardson Hitchins’ recent appearance on the Mr. Versace Podcast, where he talked about his career and claimed Devin Haney doesn’t want the fight. We discuss whether Hitchins is simply missing the name recognition to land the biggest fights, what his path at 147 looks like, and what his future with Zuffa Boxing could be. Then we get into Bill Haney’s comments about Jaron “Boots” Ennis. Bill believes Xander Zayas showed a blueprint for how Devin Haney could beat Boots, and we debate whether there’s actually a style that can give Boots serious problems. To close out the show, we discuss Boots Ennis officially cracking Ring Magazine’s pound-for-pound Top 10. Did he earn the spot? Were the changes to the list justified? #AbdullahMason #AlbertBell #LightweightBoxing #ZuffaBoxing #RayoValenzuela #EdwinDeLosSantos #BoxingRivalry #OscarDeLaHoya #DevinHaney #RichardsonHitchins #JaronEnnis #XanderZayas #PoundForPound #BoxingNews #NextGenLightweights #RisingBoxingStars #AbdullahMasonHighlights #DevinHaneyVsEnnis #ZuffaBoxingEvents #BoxingRivalryRevisited #PoundForPoundRanking #LightweightDivision #TopRankBoxing #FutureOfBoxing #BoxingPodcast
