It was a massive pay per view in Saudi Arabia on Saturday afternoon/night and we're ready to go over the Riyadh Season "Last Crescendo" results on our newest "Fight Freaks Unite Recap Podcast."

Host T.J. Rives and insider Dan Rafael of his Fight Freaks Unite Substack and newsletter have returned to give their insight and takes.

They cover:

Dmitry Bivol W12 against Artur Beterbiev in their rematch to win the undisputed 175 lb. crown. How did Bivol get it done? And, will there be a third fight before someone like David Benavidez gets a shot at the four belt crown?

Joseph Parker TKO2 over Martin Bakole, as he keeps  theWBO interim heavyweight title. Bakole was a late add and got toppled by a single right to the top of the head. What's next for Parker, now?

Also, Shakur Stevenson scored a TKO over late replacement Josh Padley, for Stevenson’s WBC lightweight title. Shakur did what he needed to, but is he injured also?

Then, Carlos Adames was robbed of decision win against Hamzah Sheeraz, for Adames’ WBC middleweight crown. Instead, the bout was delared a draw. The boys have takes.

The card continued with Vergil Ortiz Jr. defeating Israil Madrimov by decision and keeps WBC interim 154 lb. belt. Did Ortiz earn a bigger title bout/payday?

Plus, Agit Kabayel kayoed Zhilei Zhang to win the vacant WBC interim heavyweight crown in the biggest named win of his career. And, we take a breath and still cover what might have been the most action packed bout on the card as Callum Smith beat Joshua Buatsi in 12 to win the WBO interim 175 lb. crown.
 
Some quick news:
Claressa Shields is temporarily suspended by the Michigan Unarmed Combat Commission, pending a hearing, for testing positive for marijuana in the wake of a one-sided decision win over Danielle Perkins on Feb. 2 in her hometown of Flint, Michigan. We have many questions about this.

Also, Boxxer’s deal with Peacock to stream its cards in the U.S. is over. This was never announced but it is done, unless the put out an occasional card down the road.
 
Nostalgia
Feb. 22, 2020 – 5 years ago on Saturday – Tyson Fury TKO7 of Deontay Wilder to win retain the lineal and win the WBC heavyweight title in the rematch of their trilogy. Dan was ringside at MGM Grand and we discuss how that night was the beginning of the end of Wilder.
