This week's show features an interview with Boxer Angel Manfredy (43-8-1, 32 KOs), who has great boxing stories and a tale of two nicknames. "Got Jesus" was one of his nicknames, while "El Diablo" was another one that stuck with him earlier in his career after he survived a car accident. We cover lots of ground with Angel and take him back to one of his most triumphant wins over the late, great Arturo Gatti. He also tells us exactly how it felt to become a World Champion.
We also cover a lot of combat sports ground in the rest of the episode. We start with a recap of the UFC on ESPN 68 card that lost the main event fight minutes before it was supposed to start. Erin Blanchfield was not too happy to find out her opponent Maycee Barber was not cleared to fight after reportedly suffering a seizure. Rich didn't like the cancellation, either. He recounts the results of his three pending bets he had going into the main event fight that never happened on Saturday. He still won $106 out of a possible $270 in winnings if the fight ended with a submission win for Blanchfield in under 4.5 rounds, but it was aggravating to see the fight cancelled at the last second.
Tom, Tony and Rich also looked back on the biggest boxing matches of last week with Caleb Plant falling in a massive upset to Jose Armando Resendiz by split decision and Jermall Charlo beating Thoms Lamanna by 6th round knockout. We also look ahead at the weekend's boxing schedule before moving on to Tony's weekly Tornado Warning and Tom's Psychic Vision segment.
Finally, we preview UFC 316 with a big rematch in store for Merab Dvalishvili and "Suga" Sean O'Malley. Rich and Tom break down the main card and prelim fights with Rich giving his best bets for each bout.
