Mike and Lance are back and amped for Luke Campbell and Ryan Garcia to ring in the new year with a prime time fight (1:00). Will Garcia's inexperience against top-tier opponents show against Campbell? And will the 33-year-old Campbell shake off last year's loss to Vasyl Lomachenko, and rise to the occasion to defeat one of the sport's brightest, young stars? Campbell, himself, answers those questions as he joins Pug and Copp (6:00). Plus, has Campbell really not seen any film of Garcia (20:00)? The guys preview another bout featuring one of the game's rising stars, Kosei Tanaka, a three-weight world champion, as he faces off against the established Kazuto Ioka (24:45). Lastly, Mike and Lance announce The Athletic's pick for the Fighter of the Year honors (27:45).
