Big Dog Lukie Boxing Podcast

A big episode this week....so the notes will be just that

The story of the week isn't a fight. It is Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis who will no longer fight. That also means the undercard is off, and the fight week prelims featuring Jahmal Harvey are off. We give our thoughts on this. 

That is followed by the weekend recap including the following, Mikaela Mayer becoming a three-division world champion, defeating Mary Spencer. Mayer is clearly a Hall of Famer, and added to her legacy, Joshua Buatsi looked average against Zach Parker, honestly neither looked good, we talk about it, and Lenier Pero defeated Jordan Thompson in a fight that lacked sizzle. On that Florida-based DAZN card, Omari Jones continues to look good, and Yoelvis Gomez and Antraveous Ingram fought to a draw. 

The big fight of the weekend is on Saturday with Vergil Ortiz returning against Erickson Lubin. Ortiz is becoming one of the most important up-and-coming fighters, and Lubin is a lot better than people think. Both are also punchers. The undercard has some notable bouts, including Darius Fulghum taking on David Stevens. It is a battle of former sparring partners who are both signed by Golden Boy Promotions. Middleweight Amari Jones make his Golden Boy Promotions debut, cruiserweight Robin Safar is featured on the card and heavyweight U.S. Olympian Joshua Edwards will be on the card, too.

Also, on Friday, ProBox TV returns with a good one Nicklaus Flaz and Tiger Johnson face each other in a welterweight contender bout. To me, this creates a top-five contender in the thin division. Junior lightweight Dominic Valle returns in a 10-round bout. He is a top prospect/fringe contender, and Katsuma Akitsugi will face Vincent Astrolabio in a good contender bout. Also on DAZN, Friday night, Justin Figueroa and Otto Wallin will be featured. They will be in separate bouts.

In this episode, we start with the lead, which is Danny Garcia, a Hall of Famer? Dakota went to his fight last night and provided insight on the whole card, including Chris Colbert's comeback win, Reshati Mati, Damian Knyba, and Gabriel Rosado's wins...but the big takeaway is what is Garcia's legacy?

CHEAP PLUG, I also wrote about this here: https://www.boxingscene.com/articles/has-danny-garcia-put-together-a-hall-of-fame-career

Also watch Dakota's new video on  @ITRboxing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDDpRztUIpY

Then we move on to the MVP card in Texas, in which Lourdes Juarez, the WBC junior flyweight titleholder and younger sister of Mariana Juarez, won a close decision over Yesica Nery Plata. The fight was world-class and is a credit to MVP as this is the type of bout two-to-three years ago, that would be buried on an undercard or not shown at all.

In the co-feature, Omar Juarez broke down Omar Rosario to win 10-round UD, but Juarez's younger brother, Sebastian, was the star of the night. Sebastian Juarez was dropped in the first round, lost a point, only to stop Demarcus Layton, in what pretty clearly was the 'Round of the Year'

Other notables on this card: Unified women's middleweight champion Desley Robinson stopped Logan Holler in two rounds, and super middleweight Ronny Alvarez is a bad boy, as he looked like a 21-year-old Cuban fighter who can move up the ranks fast. 

In L.A., Albert Gonzalez defeated Leonardo Baez, as he continues to be my No.1 prospect in the sport. Other Top Rank fighters featured on the card were Andres Cortes and Elvis Rodriguez, who both got wins. Perla Bazaldua and Yazmin Martinez Jimenez fought to a draw. 

In the U.K., George Liddard became a major player as he stopped Kieron Conway in a fun fight, Shannon Ryan defeated Chloe Watson after Watson suffered an eye injury early in the fight The bout went to the cards. Tiah Mai Ayton and Jimmy Sains also got stoppage wins. 

This week...we have the WBC Grand Prix tournament taking place. One of the more fun events that we have seen in some time. 

Thursday, Salita Promotions returns in Puerto Rico with a great main event between unbeaten Joshua Pagan and Maliek Montgomery. Ashleyann Lozada vs. Melissa Oddessa Parker is a solid co-feature at women's middleweight. 

Then, the big fight on DAZN pay-per-view. Joseph Parker will face Fabio Wardley. The winner would face Oleksandr Usyk at some point if Usyk decides to continue boxing. The undercard is as regional as it gets as Lewis Edmondson vs. Ezra Taylor, but not much else stands out. 

Contender alert: Rene Calixto Bibiano will face Hasanboy Dusmatov in an IBF flyweight eliminator fight. Dusmatov is a two-time Olympic gold medalist

A preview of this week's fight on DAZN.

More information on all the fights at http://lukieboxing.substack.com

In this episode, Dakota and Lukie talk about Jaron "Boots" Ennis' first-round knockout over Uisma Lima. How good is Ennis? We discuss in the lead. 

Also, Keith Thurman and Sebastian Fundora will no longer fight at he end of October.

Then, heavyweight Guido Vianello knocked out Alexis Barriere, with thoughts on Tahmir Smalls' win over Jose Roman and Dennis Thompson's close fight with Sean Diaz. Prospect alert on the undercard, watch Giorgio Visioli. He is good, and Naheem Parker beat unbeaten Justin Palmieri. 

Earlier in the day, Arslanbek Makhmudov revived his career by defeating Dave Allen in an action fight in the U.K. We also talked about Bilal Fawaz defeating Junaid Bostan in their rematch. Plus, we discuss Josh Padley's win over Reece Bellotti. 

A brief conversation about Red Owl Boxing's very fun card, but also a very late card on Friday Night. 

Friday we have a solid domestic British card promoted by Matchroom Boxing. The main event is a crossroads middleweight bout between Kieron Conway vs. George Liddard, which will show the trajectory of Liddard's potential. 

Other notables featured on this card are  Jimmy Sains,  Leli Buttigieg, and Taylor Bevan. A fight I think could be good is Shannon Ryan versus Chloe Watson, which is an evenly matched bout. 

On Saturday, Danny Garcia will fight for the final time in his career against Daniel Gonzalez. The bout will take place on Millions.co. Supporting bouts are Nahir Albright taking on former champion Richard Commey, Damian Knyba facing Philly veteran Joey Dawejko, the return of Chris Colbert, and possilby the most interesting fight on the card Gabriel Rosado vs. Vaughn Alexander.

Saturday on DAZN in Texas, WBC junior flyweight champion Lourdes Juarez will face women's boxing modern legend Yesica Nery Plata in the main event. The co-feature will see a crossroads battle between local favorite Omar Juarez and Omar Rosario. Both were viewed as prospects. Now they both have two losses. Unified women's middleweight Desley Robinson will face Logan Holler, and former titleholder Shurretta Metcalf will face undefeated Krystal Rosado, who is managed by Amanda Serrano. 

In Long Beach, one of my favorite prospects in boxing, Albert Gonzalez, will face veteran Leonardo Baez in the main event.

A fight preview of Kieron Conway-George Liddard which takes place on DAZN.

In this show, we start off with the topic of the week...thoughts on Jaron "Boots" Ennis vs. Uisma Lima. Then we follow that up with thoughts on the undercard, but mainly talk about Khalil Coe vs. Jesse Hart no longer happening. Notable bouts to watch include a heavyweight bout between Alexis Barriere and Guido Vianello, a welterweight bout between Tahmir Smalls vs. Jose Roman, junior lightweight Giorgio Visioli vs James "Crunchtime" Wilkins, plus amateur stand-outs Zaquin Moses and Harley Mederos on the undercard.

Also on DAZN, Saturday, a heavyweight fight between Dave Allen vs Arslanbek Makhmudov. The undercard features a junior middleweight rematch between Junaid Bostan and Bilal Fawaz, and a junior lightweight bout between Josh Padley and Reece Bellotti. 

On Friday on DAZN, Red Owl Boxing will present a fight card from Southern California. 

The main event is a junior lightweight bout between Deonte Brown vs. Grimardi Machuca. Also on the card, a rematch between Saul Sanchez vs. Edwin Rodriguez. Other notable bouts, the pro debut of 2020 U.S. Olympian Rashida Ellis, featherweight Cornellio Phipps vs. Jessie Mandapat, and 
junior welterweight Angel Perez vs. Sachin Rohila.

We reverse the order as we talk about last week's fights and touch on the 360 Promotions card. Light heavyweight Umar Dzambekov gets another win, is he a contender? Cain Sandoval rolled to a victory where is he in the division? Also, "Right Hook Roxy" continues to look impressive, and Daniel "Chucky" Barrera defeated Mario Hernandez. 

Then, we go to the U.K. to talk about featherweight Nathaniel Collins versus Cristobal Lorente, which was a lot of fun. Also, Willy Hutchinson defeated Mark Jeffers on the undercard. 

Cecelia Braekhus defeated Ema Kozin to retire as a unified champion. Braekhus was the best women's boxer at a period of time when people didn't care. We pay tribute to her career. 

Angel Fierro lost a disqualification to Abraham Cordero after kicking him in a perceived bounce-back fight in Mexico. Also,  Bakhodir Jalolov looked average again.

Also, cruiserweight Brandon Glanton stopped Marcus Browne in Afrcia. 

We finish the show with our thoughts on these fighters and fights, CAMILA ZAMORANO,  Christian Medina, Taiwo Agbaje and Jacky Calvo vs Alma Meraz.
