Big Dog Lukie Boxing Podcast

The guys start by talking about a potential Shakur Stevenson-Devin Haney rumored bout. Then, they talk about Chris Billam-Smith versus Ryan Rozicki, which is by far Zuffa Boxing’s best fight to date. The guys are split on opinions around Zuffa, and we talk about roughly six months into the new boxing entities’ rise in the sport. 

We also talk about light heavyweight Albert Ramirez’s split decision over Lerrone Richards, and a bit on junior lightweight Josh Padley’s win over Aqib Fiaz, which was a decent domestic match. IBF flyweight titleholder Masamichi Yabuki defeated Rene Calixto. Is Yabuki the forgotten pound-for-pound level talent? Andrew Moloney defeated Willibaldo Garcia Perez to win the IBF junior bantamweight title. Also, Michael Angeletti defeated Kenneth Llover in a bantamweight bout with title implications, and in “the bad boy bout,” John Riel Casimero stopped Luis Nery in four rounds. 

Then, we switch gears to history – Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez looks to further his legacy as he aims to be a three-division world champion, as he faces WBA bantamweight champion, Antonio Vargas. Rodriguez is currently No.3 on Lukie’s pound-for-pound list, and even higher on others. A win here puts him in the running for a potential chance to become undisputed against Moloney, or even a mega-fight against Naoya Inoue. Also, on the card, women’s IBF lightweight champ Elif Nur Turhan will face Gabriela Tellez, and Arturo Cardenas will rematch Jordan Martinez in a junior featherweight bout. 

Other bouts of note, Sunday Salita Promotions returns with Jonathan “Bomba” Gonzalez vs. Abraham Perez. It is a good bout, with Brandon Moore, Joshua Pagan, and others featured on the DAZN broadcast. 

Another MVP card will take place with Oshae Jones rematching Elia Carranza, with her IBF title on the line, and a good local fight, Bruce Seldon Jr. vs. Josh Popper, will happen in New Jersey.
