We get ready for a wekkend with action all over the globe- from San Diego, CA to Nottingham, England and then, back over to Tokyo, Japan and we're ready to go over it all on the "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast!"

Host T.J. Rives returns with insider Dan Rafael for their takes and insight.

They begin with the preview of the Top Rank ESPN card Saturday in San Diego
Mexican star Emanuel Navarrete returns against unbeaten but largely unknown Charly Suarez for Navarrete’s WBO junior lightweight title and in the co-feature unbeaten Raymond Muratalla takes on Zaur Abdullaev for the vacant IBF interim lightweight title. The boys discuss both.

Earlier Saturday, U.S. time, the Queensberry DAZN main event from Nottingham, England sees Anthony Cacace battle Leigh Wood in a junior lightweight showdown of popular prominent fighters in the U.K. 

There's a brief preview of the ProBox TV card Saturday in Kissimmee, Fla.  as Erickson Lubin returns with Ardreal Holmes in an IBF junior middleweight eliminator  

And, much more interesting a preview of the Sunday fight in Tokyo (Sunday a.m. in U.S.) with Fernando "Puma" Martinez rematching Kazuto Ioka, for Martinez’s WBA junior bantamweight title. Get all the takes and opinions on these matchups.
 
Then, some News

Nostalgia
May 8, 2004 – 21 years ago on Thursday – Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez battle to a draw in the first fight of their epic four-fight series. Was for Marquez’s IBF and Manny’s lineal featherweight titles and Dan was there in Las Vegas.
