Boxing News Podcast

Editor Tris Dixon and Matt Christie are back in episode 51, and the latter is full of the joys of Las Vegas, having been to see Manny Pacquiao’s revenge win over Timothy Bradley.

The two also discuss Bernard Hopkins’ evergreen display against Beibut Shumenov and the future for “The Alien”, Rubin Carter, Wladimir Klitschko’s upcoming bout with Alex Leapai, Keith Thurman’s showing against Paulie Malignaggi and the Manchester bill that featured Anthony Crolla’s victory over John Murray and Scott Quigg’s dominant title defence.

TRIS DIXON and Boxing News colleague Matt Christie discuss Manny Pacquiao in this 50th episode of the Opening Bell.

Pacquiao is approaching the end of his career, and many have suggested that Timothy Bradley will be the man to finish it. The pair collide in a Las Vegas sequel of their controversial 2012 encounter that Bradley won on points.

Can he improve to the point where he can repeat his success, and deserve it? Given the contentious cards first time round, who will the judges favour this time? At 35, and with a long career behind him, what can Pacquiao possibly have left? Where will victory lead the winner?

We attempt to answer all of these questions, and also discuss the recent adventures of Carl Frampton and Enzo Maccarinelli.
