Big Dog Lukie Boxing Podcast

In this video, Lukie is joined by ‪@ShoeShineBoxing‬ as they talk about the history of odd fights that they call "circus fights" with a focus on Saturday's bout between Oleksandr Usyk vs. Rico Verhoeven. Lukie will be in San Jose on Friday night for Amari Jones versus the former titleholder, Vincenzo Gualtieri. Lukie gives his thoughts on that bout, while they also break down the tape on

In this video, Lukie is joined by Anderson Perez, who is part of Boxeo Urbano Network (https://www.youtube.com/@BoxeoUrbanoNetwork/videos). 

He recently wrote this article: https://andersonperez.substack.com/p/el-flash-cubano-contra-la-presion

Which I think most people should like if you enjoy my content. 

We talk about the big fight of the weekend (at least for us) which is heavyweight Frank Sanchez versus Richard Torrez Jr. The bout is for IBF title eliminator, meaning the winner should land a title shot, but most importantly, it is a crossroads fight for both. Torrez has always been seen as a small heavyweight and Sanchez is the great unknown after being stopped by Agit Kabayel. 

The conversation evolves into Perez’s thoughts on limitations on Cuban boxing, while unpacking some of the issues from a marketing standpoint fighters face. In the final bits of the podcast, we talk about Yoenli Hernandez and Osleys Iglesias.

In this show, Lukie is joined by Tom Ivers, who has been on an awesome run.

Ivers' great run in May includes: Naoya Inoue-Junto Nakatani, Fabio Wardley-Daniel Dubois, and now Filip Hrgovic-Dave Allen. Tom gives his thoughts on this. 

Then, we talk about Hrgovic-Allen. Why was it a thing? What is the sentiment about Allen that gives him so many chances? 

Also, Top Rank’s debut on DAZN…thoughts? Plus, junior welterweight Keyshawn Davis won his rematch against Nahir “Woo” Albright, BUT he missed weight for the second time in three fights. This is not to be overlooked; yes, it was smaller in this instance, but it is a trend. What is bigger in your opinion, the fight result or the weigh-in story? 

Also, Brian Norman Jr gets a quick second-round stoppage win over Josh Wagner. Yan Santana won a close (and debatable) unanimous decision victory over Cristian Cruz. Oh, and Kelvin Davis won an uninspired split decision over Pete Dobson. 

On the way out, we talk about welterweight Paddy Donovan and his win over Karen Chukhadzhian. It was an IBF title eliminator, meaning the winner will face the winner of the current belt holder, Lewis Crocker versus Liam Paro, next month.
