In this show, Lukie and Dakota talk about a loaded week of boxing. 

We start with Manny Pacquiao-Mario Barrios. What do we think? Should it happen again? 

Then, Sebastian Fundora stopped Tim Tszyu. What is next for both? Seems like a role reversal in a year and a half. 

We round out the card talking about Issac Cruz, Brandon Figueroa-Joet Gonzalez, and Gary Russell Jr.

Then, Oleksandr Usyk. We get into a debate that might make historians mad. We think Usyk ranks amongst the greats like Ali and Louis? Do you? This weekend, he stopped Daniel Dubois again.

Dakota will sum up the undercard. 

Finally, we recap Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez's win over Phumelele Cafu. Rodriguez is becoming one of the best fighters in the sport. Our thoughts. 

Plus, Diego Pacheco defeats Trevor McCumby. What did we think? 

Then, this week's preview. Thursday Golden Boy will have a card on DAZN and their YouTube page, headlined by Manuel Flores vs. Jorge Chavez, which is a solid bout for hardcore fight fans. 

OTX Boxing has a card on Friday, we briefly go over. 

Then on Saturday, the good stuff.

On ESPN, Xander Zayas will face Jorge Garcia Perez for the vacant WBO junior middleweight title. Other good bouts on this card include the return of Bruce Carrington, Rohan Polanco against tough veteran Quinton Randall, Yan Santana taking on Aaron Alameda, and Steven Navarro facing Cristopher Rios, who just upset Daniel "Chucky" Barrera. 

On DAZN, Claressa Shields will face Lani Daniels in a women's heavyweight undisputed bout, Tony Harrison, who recently signed with Salita Promotions, will make his middleweight debut, plus Samantha Worthington vs. Victoire Piteau, a heavyweight up-and-comer who Dakota recently filmed with Pryce Taylor, and Caroline Veyre, who Lukie is high on.

A preview of the weekend's action on ESPN and DAZN.

To hear my thoughts on all of the major fights this week, visit: http://lukieboxing.substack.com

This week we had A LOT of fights. 

A historic all-women's card took place with Katie Taylor defeating Amanda Serrano for a third time. We talk about the fight, the impact the trilogy had on women's boxing, as well as the undercard with notable standouts being Ellie Scotney and Shadasia Green.

Then, it is off to a four-fight card in New York, where Hamzah Sheeraz stopped Edgar Berlanga in five rounds. How good is Sheeraz? Was Berlanga overhyped? We discuss. Also, Shakur Stevenson defeated William Zepeda, Subriel Matias became a champion again defeating Alberto Puello, and David Morrell barely edged a close one with Imam Khataev.

Lukie was at the ProBox TV card and shared his experience, which had a good main event in which Francisco Veron defeated Vladimir Hernandez.

We have another busy week of fights for the summer coming up.

On Friday, DAZN features heavyweight Gurgen Hovhannisyan-Chris Thomas, 10 rounds, and Angel Barrientes is the co-feature.

Yokasta Valle defends her title in Costa Rica on Friday.
 
First, Oleksandr Usyk-Daniel Dubois II. The card is fine, but I will say it isn't as star-studded as some of the recent offers on pay-per-view.

Also, on pay-per-view, Mario Barrios puts his WBC welterweight title on the line against Manny Pacquiao. The co-feature is Sebastian Fundora-Tim Tszyu II. Also on the card, Isaac Cruz-Angel Fierro II, and Brandon Figueroa-Joet Gonzalez.

Rounding out the week of action, Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez faces Phumelele Cafu in a junior bantamweight unification. Diego Pacheco-Trevor McCumby is a super middleweight co-feature with Austin Williams-Etinosa Oliha, and
a great fight between Arturo Cardenas-Dominique Crowder rounding out the card

This week, we talk about a limited amount of action, but preview a ton of fights. 

First, Happy Birthday to the U.S.A.

Then, we talk about Jack Catterall versus Harlem Eubank. Honestly, not much to talk about. Joe Cordina got a win, junior middleweight Fraser Wilkinson upset William Crolla, as well as Pat Brown and Skye Nicolson got wins on the card. 

130lber Jazza Dickins knocked out Albert Batyrgaziev.

A few news items. 

Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol might not happen until 2026, per a cryptic Beterbiev post

David Benavidez will face Anthony Yarde in November.

We might be joined by Shurretta Metcalf. 

Then, we preview this week. 

So I will be in Fresno for the ProBox TV card. Say 'hi' if you see me. Super middleweight Lester Martinez is in tough again, Pierre Dibobe, a great fight between Vladimir Hernandez vs Francisco Veron, a WBC flyweight eliminator, Erick Badillo vs Gerardo Zapata, also Katsuma Akitsugi vs Jonas Sultan. Karlos Balderas and Jessie Guerrero will be featured on the card

On Friday, Katie Taylor versus Amanda Serrano takes place on Netflix. The co-feature is Alycia Baumgardner vs. Jennifer Miranda. Dakota has covered the career of Shadasia Green during her title run and will talk about her fight with Savannah Marshall. One of my favorite fighters, Ellie Scotney, will face Yamileth Mercado. Also, a women's bantamweight bout between Cherneka Johnson vs. Shurretta Metcalf, a sneaky good one between Chantelle Cameron vs. Jessica Camara. Rounding out the card are Tamm Thibeault and Ramla Ali.

Saturday on DAZN PPV,  we will see Edgar Berlanga vs. Hamzah Sheeraz. This is a fight that will merit a lot of debate. The co-feature will see the return of lightweight Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda. Also on the card, Alberto Puello vs. Subriel Matias, David Morrell vs Imam Khataev, and Reito Tsutsumi.

A preview of the upcoming main event fight on Saturday on ESPN.

In this episode, we talk a bit about boxing in two ways. For starters, we recap heavyweight Deontay Wilder’s win over Tyrrell Anthony Herndon on Friday. Followed by Jake Paul’s unanimous decision win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., this was followed by a conversation about Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez, who made a unified title defense against Yuniel Dorticos on the MVP pay-per-view card. The undercard saw a few things of note: lightweight Floyd Schofield had a star-making performance by stopping Tevin Farmer in one round, Julian Rodriguez revived his career with a 10th-round knockout of Avious Griffin, and deep on the undercard, Rene Alvarado upset unbeaten Victor Morales.

Also, super middleweight Christian Mbilli proves once again to be a serious dude, stopping Maciej Sulecki in one round.

This is followed by a brief preview of the two fights this week: Sergiy Derevyanchenko returns on Tuesday as a part of CountryBox, and Jack Catterall faces Harlem Eubank at welterweight.

Then, we do the mid-year awards:

Those are Fighter of the Year, Fight of the Year, Prospect of the Year, Contender of the Year, Trainer of the Year, Round of the Year, and Upset of the Year.

As always, if you enjoy the show, tell a friend to tell a friend.
