Floyd Mayweather Exhibition, Diego Pacheco With Dan + News And Duran/Hopkins Wild Nostalgia Too! | Fight Freaks Unite Recap


Listen Later

It was a sllllooooowww weekend of action in the ring, as only "the name" of Floyd Mayweather registered in an exhibition in Mexico. But, we're ready to go over that card, hear from rising super middleweight contender Diego Pacheco and more on the newest "Fight Freaks Unite Recap Podcast."

Host T.J. Rives is back with "the birthday guy," Dan Rafael of BigFightWeekend.com to go over things.

That includes the silliness of the Mayweather card and his "win" over John Gotti III headlining a PPV. Dan has thoughts on the other legit fighters that had actual fights on the undercard. And, is there any real market left for Mayweather to keep fighting these stupid fights?

Then, speaking of legit, unbeaten California native Diego Pacheco returns for his fourth fight in just over a year, as headlines the Matchroom show in Carson, CA, Saturday night fighting vetern Maciej Sulecki in the headliner. However, you don't have to wait for fight week to hear from the star in the making, as Pacheco joins Dan for a one on one conversation with his goals in the short term, too.

Next, there's news on whether Jaron "Boots" Ennis can make a welterweight unification title fight before an IBF deadline this week that would possibly see him stripped of his belt? The absurdity of the situation is revisited and the name of Brian Norman (the WBO title holder) will become bigger, too?

There's news on Keyshawn Davis headlining for Top Rank this Fall and what British heavyweight rising star has gotten a new promo deal from Frank Warren and Queesberry too?

Finally, we close with nostalgia on the 26th anniversary of Roberto Duran's last title challenge and why it was painful to see in a Showtime main event. However, what was more memorable was the co-feature bout that night, where fellow legend Bernard Hopkins ended up being tossed from the ring, literally, in a bizarre moemnt that ended his title fight in a no-contest. Dan has the reminiscing.

And, there's also a look back at the storied career of Diego "Chco" Corrales, who would have been 47 years old Sunday. Corrales owns arguably the most famous one round rally TKO in a championship fight ever deeating Jose Luis Castillo. But, Dan wants to talk his whole body of work in a hall of fame career, as well.

It's all on the "Fight Freaks Unite Recap Podcast" and make sure to follow/subscribe on Apple/Spreaker/Spotify, etc.!
