Big Dog Lukie Boxing Podcast

In this podcast, Lukie and Dakota talk about Stephen Fulton Jr missing weight again and his fight with Liam Wilson being off. Also, who has less left, Tim Tszyu, Anthony Joshua, or Errol Spence Jr? We will know on Sunday. All three will appear on pay-per-view; in total, the weekend will have two PPVs, causing the consumer to spend over $100 to watch everything.A middleweight bout Saturday evening will pit Tszyu versus Spence, while earlier in the day, Joshua will face Kristian Prenga. We also briefly talk about Edgar Berlanga versus Steven Butler, and Richardson Hitchins' Zuffa debut

In this video, Lukie and Dave (https://www.youtube.com/@ShoeShineBoxing) talk about scenarios that could ruin a potential Anthony Joshua versus Tyson Fury bout later this year. Joshua will face Kristian Prenga on Saturday on DAZN PPV, while Fury will fight on Friday at some point in Thailand. Also discussed in this show is Errol Spence vs. Tim Tszyu, how we have way too many pay-per-views, bare-knuckle boxing, and more.

In this podcast, Lukie goes into depth about Shakur Stevenson signing with Zuffa Boxing, plus he talks about early stoppages,

In the film study segment, Lukie talks about the following fights:

* Samuel Contreras Jr

* Frank Espinoza

* Albert “Chop Chop” Gonzalez

* George Crotty

* Tiago Osorio Muxanga

* Joseph Sumabong

* Hayato Tsumsuti

In this episode, Lukie and (Jason) Lagendorf talk about the return of Errol Spence Jr., who faces Tim Tszyu in Australia on pay-per-view. Three years ago, this would have been massive; now it just is what it is. A solid fight, but a lot of lingering “What ifs?” 

Does Spence still have it? (He hasn’t fought since the Terence Crawford fight)

Can Tszyu absorb punishment from a high-level fighter? 

The answers we don’t know.

An undercard bout with Jermall Charlo is now off, as he couldn’t obtain a visa. Stephen Fulton’s official lightweight debut against Liam Wilson will serve as the co-feature, with Australian talent rounding out the rest of the card. 

Then, we have two high-profile names back in action.

Tyson Fury will fight Mariusz Wach in Thailand. As of now, I don’t think they have announced how to watch it. Also, on pay-per-view, Anthony Joshua is facing Kristian Prenga. Is it safe to say Joshua is in the unserious part of his career? The pay-per-view card is shockingly thin. WBO super middleweight champ Hamzah Sheeraz will face Simon Zachenhuber. Zachenhuber lost to Pawel August on the previous Fury fight card, but August is buried on the undercard facing Jacob Bank, the man who stopped William Scull. Make it make sense. IBF welterweight champ Josh Kelly returns against Caoimhin Agyarko, which is a good fight, and Ukrainian Olympic gold medalist Oleksandr Khyzhniak will fight. He is more Serhii Bohachuk than he is Lomachenko. Nishant Dev is always a nice treat to see on a card as well. 

Also, on Sunday at Zuffa Boxing, Edgar Berlanga will make his promotional debut against Steven Butler. Richardson Hitchins will face Ricardo Salas, not an easy debut, and middleweight Sergiy Derevyanchenko will open the main telecast against Jalil Hackett. The undercard is solid with Otto Wallin facing Vladyslav Sirenko, and the promotional debut of Dominique Francis. A good 50-50 fight between Arnold Gonzalez and Emiliano Moreno, and as always, featherweight Troy Nash Jr is must-see TV as he faces unbeaten Ethan Perez.

This week, we saw Diego Pacheco stop Immanuwel Aleem. Now, we ask more questions… For my mailbag, I was asked if Pacheco looked different than when he fought Trevor McCumby. Lazily, I will ask Dakota. Buddy McGirt now trains Pacheco; did we see a difference? People seem divided on Pacheco – can we make sense of it all?

Also on the undercard, Andy Cruz stopped Abraham Montoya in three rounds and appears headed to the junior lightweight division. Featherweight Albert Gonzalez stopped Aaron Alameda in two rounds. WOW! Also, Bruno Rios and Saul Sanchez had a classic that might get forgotten.

In this episode, Lukie and Dakota start with the news. 

Four-division titleholder Shakur Stevenson signed with Zuffa Boxing. With rumors that Oleksandr Usyk and Devin Haney may sign with Zuffa, is the takeover imminent? What are the guys' thoughts on this? 

Then, we shift to PBC announcing a deal with DAZN, which would have seemed unheard of before this year. Is this a direct response to Zuffa Boxing? They announced a few fights (without official fight dates), but in August WBA welterweight champ Rolando Romero will face Teofimo Lopez. The guys give early thoughts on this fight.

The guys recap a very light week of boxing. Murat Gassiev stopped late-sub Peter Kadiru in six rounds. Kadiru filled in for Gassiev's original opponent, 2016 French Olympic gold medalist Tony Yoka, but was outgunned. Also, Artem Suslenkov stopped former contender Joe Joyce in what should be Joyce's last pro fight. The ending was very sad. 

Then, we look ahead. 

Another light week of boxing.

Super middleweight Diego Pacheco faces Immanuwel Aleem. It is a DAZN main event bout, and the return of boxing to the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. Lightweight Andy Cruz will face Abraham Montoya, after his original opponent, Albert Bell, fought Abdullah Mason on short notice earlier this month. Middleweight Frank Espinoza and lightweight Sammy Contreras Jr are notable prospects to watch, but a good 50-50 fight to watch for is Saul Sanchez vs. unbeaten Bruno Rios. Heavyweight Leo Atang is someone I keep wondering just how good he is, too. 

In the U.K., welterweight Harlem Eubank is in tough against David Papot, and on ProBox TV an assortment of fights including Bryan Flores vs. Jonathan Navarro, junior middleweight Kevin Anton vs. Vladimir Hernandez, and Charly Suarez vs. Manuel "Tino" Avila.

Welcome to the FIRST-EVER “Paywall Podcast” livestream

This is the second week I have done this, and for those just familiar, I answer five questions after the weigh-in of the big fight.

Those questions this week are as follows:

* PBC to DAZN: What does it mean for boxing?

* Shakur Stevenson to Zuffa Boxing: What does it mean for boxing?

* Rolando Romero vs. Teofimo Lopez: What is the context of this August pay-per-view fight

* A (cheap) plug for my story that came out today on Murat Gassiev. You can read that below:

* Why Kiria Tapia is a fighter you should monitor.

In this brief podcast, I talk about stoppages, and a bit of news and notes.
