In this week’s pod, Lukie talks about the issues of being a young prospect (he also had issues plugging in his mic – WTF?).

Other topics include, more insight on Sylve. Thoughts on Jermall Charlo’s comeback, Ruslan Abdullaev compared to Wyatt Sanford, and Joshua Edwards.

Film study this week includes

* Abdullah Mason

* More Lennox Clarke stuff

* Omar Trinidad

* Floyd “Cashflow” Diaz

* Jakhongir Zokirov

* Dennis Thompson

* Juanma Lopez De Jesus

* Richie Rivera

* Daniel “Junebug” Garcia

* Lasha Guruli

* Adam Olaniyan

In this video, Lukie and Dakota talk about the junior middleweight unification bout between the beltholder Xander Zayas and Jaron "Boots" Ennis. What are the stories, x-factors, and excitement for this pay-per-view card? 

Speaking of the card, we also talk about the undercard, including junior welterweight Emiliano Vargas versus Bryce Mills, middleweight Jahi Tucker vs. Euri Cedeno, and Ben Whittaker vs. Richie Rivera.

Also, Lewis Crocker will put his IBF welterweight title on the line against  Liam Paro, and Lukie's favorite heavyweight, "Deep Waters" Big Nasty Nelson Asofa-Solomona, will be in a four-round fight.

We briefly recap Oscar Collazo's win over Neider Valdez. Is Collazo this generation's 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez? Could he be Puerto Rico's best fighter? The undercard underwhelmed, but Ruslan Abdullaev didn't. He stopped Orestes Velazquez.

Then, we talk about Ashton Sylve, who won a unanimous decision over Joseph Diaz Jr.  It wasn't great. David Lopez looked strong, and Amir Anderson was solid. Also, Devin Cushing beat J'Hon Ingram.

Dakota watched 130-lb. Ryan Garner's win in the U.K., and talks briefly about that card. 

News

Moses Itauma will fight Filip Hrgovic later this year, Floyd Mayweather has mounting legal issues, and Jermall Charlo & Stephen Fulton are added to Errol Spence Jr vs. Tim Tszyu undercard. 

Gervonta Davis vs. Floyd Schofield appears unlikely per Oscar De La Hoya, Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn confusion, and Vergil Ortiz's return?

In this video, Lukie does a solo podcast talking about Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez's win over Antonio Vargas. The question now becomes how many weight classes can "Bam" continue to move up? Also, will his style need to evolve moving up in weight? Plus, Lukie talks about Arturo Cardenas' win over Jordan Martinez and Elif Nur Turhan defeating Gabriela Tellez. Then, we switch gears to the Most Valuable Promotions show, in which women's junior middleweight beltholder Oshae Jones fought Elia Carranza to a draw. The bout was a rematch. In the co-feature, WBC featherweight champ Tiara Brown defeated Hannah Rapp. The real story was Nataly Delgado becoming the WBA junior bantamweight titleholder, defeating Jasmine Artiga, and in a true shocker, Estefany Alegria becoming the unified junior flyweight beltholder, defeating Evelin Nazarena Bermudez. Also, Lukie reacts to Abraham Perez defeating Jonathan "La Bomba" Gonzalez for the interim WBA flyweight title, and he previews Ashton Sylve vs. Joseph Diaz Jr (and calls it the fight of the week), while giving caution to Oscar Collazo vs Joey Canoy, Saturday on DAZN, as the great unknown.

Dave (check out his channel @ShoeShineBoxing ) and Lukie talk about whether that can come to fruition, while also discussing what the future holds for Rodriguez.
