Big Dog Lukie Boxing Podcast

Join us as we go live to break down the wildest week in boxing and look ahead to what’s coming next. Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury II headlines our preview, a heavyweight clash to cap off 2024, though this time it’s not for the undisputed title, but the bragging rights of being the best modern heavyweight. We’ll also cover the fallout from Sam Goodman’s injury pulling him out of his fight with Naoya Inoue and Dennis McCann’s unexpected drug test result.

And speaking of upsets, the shocking moment of 2024? Bruno Surace knocking out Jaime Munguia in Tijuana—an ending nobody saw coming. We’ll dive deep into Munguia’s disastrous year, from his loss to Canelo Alvarez in May to this shocking defeat that flipped the script on his career.

Plus:

Alan Picasso’s latest win and his potential shot at Naoya Inoue.

A draw between Alexis Rocha and Raul Curiel that left more questions than answers about the future of Golden Boy’s welterweight division.
And don’t forget the undercard madness: Charles Conwell’s dominant knockout, Victor Morales Jr.’s gritty return, and Murodjon Akhmadaliev’s statement win that positions him back in the mix for a Naoya Inoue showdown.

Plus brief recaps of ProBox TV, Big Time Boxing USA, Most Valuable Prospects 10, 360 Promotions card and the Boxxer show Natasha Jonas/Lauren Price

This week in boxing has one major fight. We dive into the highly anticipated grudge match between flyweight Sunny Edwards and Galal Yafai on Saturday in the UK, airing live on DAZN. It's a clash of two elite fighting families—Edwards, a former titleholder known for his slick backfoot boxing, versus Yafai, a 2020 Olympic gold medalist and surprising puncher.

The undercard is stacked too! Lightweight prospect Cameron Vuong faces a tough test against veteran Gavin Gwynne, while welterweights Conah Walker and Lewis Ritson meet in a high-stakes regional battle. Plus, Kieron Conway, better than his record suggests, takes on Ryan Kelly.

We’re also covering Curmel Moton’s fight in Atlantic City and giving a shoutout to Corey Erdman for the mention on the OTX Boxing telecast—thank you, Corey!

Last weekend’s highlights:

Andreas Katzourakis edged Brandon Adams in a thrilling split-decision to win the OTX junior middleweight tournament.

Oshae Jones claimed a split-decision victory over Femke Hermans for the junior middleweight title.

Rising stars David Lopez and Nathan Lugo stole the show on the undercard—Lopez might be the next big thing.

In Mexico, Zanfer Promotions delivered an exciting card on ESPN+, but bad judging stole the spotlight. Three of five fights ended in draws, with Moises Caro robbed of a clear win over former champ Elwin Soto.

We’ll also discuss the frustration of light heavyweight Jesse Hart, whose fight was canceled at the last minute.

Lukie (and maybe Dakota) jump on the podcast to talk about the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight that occurred.

Let’s talk about the weekend’s biggest moments in boxing:

Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul — a cultural spectacle that brought the numbers but not the action.
Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano II — a messy rematch that left fans split.
Barrios vs. Ramos — a clash that proved styles make fights, even when mismatches surprise.
Riyadh’s “Latino Night” delivered shockers, with Gilberto Ramirez dominating, Arnold Barboza Jr. outworking Jose Ramirez, and William Zepeda looking shaky ahead of a potential Shakur Stevenson bout.
Plus, standout performances from Oscar Collazo, Bruce Carrington, and Lucas Bahdi. Was Zepeda exposed? Is Shadasia Green losing her edge? And where does boxing’s new wave of celebrity fights leave the sport?

Join us as we break down a weekend packed with action, drama, and head-scratchers in the ring! Junior lightweight O’Shaquie Foster edged Robson Conceicao again, claiming the WBC title in a split decision sequel that had more déjà vu than drama. Was this really a two-time win for Foster? We’ll dig into why fans are still debating who deserved what and whether Conceicao can find a fresh path forward. Plus, lightweight Raymond Muratalla’s explosive rebound and Abraham Nova’s frustrating draw against Galindo—what’s next for them?

Golden Boy Promotions didn’t disappoint either. Floyd “Kid Austin” Schofield showed both promise and pitfalls against Rene Tellez Giron, surviving a scare but proving there’s work ahead. And we’ll touch on Gabriela Fundora’s star-making night as she became the youngest undisputed champ, dedicating it to Oscar De La Hoya himself.

As the weekend’s dust settles, we pivot to previewing Friday night’s big matchup on ESPN: Keyshawn Davis vs. Gustavo Lemos. Can Davis make a statement against the battle-tested Lemos, or will the Argentine underdog spoil the party?
