Rope-a-Dope Boxing Podcast

Dave & Dave bring you the reviews from the weekends Boxing action along with a back dated catalogue of news from David McDonald.

In this bumper episode we review Richardson Hitchins first title defence against the ever game George Kambosos Jr in New York alongside Andy Cruz who is developing into a puncher under Bozy Ennis. We also ask the question of whether Teremoana Jr will trouble the big boys of the heavyweight division after another one round blast out of another limited opponent.

We saw the return of Filipino legend Nonito Donaire in Argentina and analyse what hes got left at the age of 42 and we save the best till last as friend of the show Sylwia Doligala fought for the central area title in Liverpool in a rematch against Charlotte Powell, and what a fight it was.

Dave & Dave are joined by the Boxing Guru Mr Liam Tully to go through everything that went on in the Boxing world at the weekend.

Liam was in attendance at Portman Road, Ipswich to see Fabio Wardley become the UKs version of Deontay Wilder as he pulled out a one hitter quitter to pull off an unlikely victory.

At Oakwell, Barnsley we saw Callum Simpson fight for the European title against his toughest opponent yet in unbeaten Italian Ivan Zucco.

Josh Kelly made easy work of his limited opponent in Newcastle so we say where he should go next and the same with Abdullah Mason as he puts on another clinique performance in the States, surely a world title beckons for the American.

Routine win for Jai Opetaia in Australia and we ask the question which even the Guru himself struggled to answer.....'How do you beat Junto Nakatani?'

Dave & Dave bring you all the Boxing reviews that matter from the weekend gone.

We start in Birmingham where we got to see the rematch between Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron. It all ended in controversy the first time round but surely we would get a fair result second time around?

Big Fraze and Tyler Denny were also on the card looking to get back to winning ways after their previous losses along with UK fan favourite Sam Eggington in another close and exciting fight.

On Saturday night in Sheffield did we expect more from Dalton Smith and Josh Warrington? Also Josh Padleys next opponents must be better going forward after a great start against a very limited opponent.

In California we wax lyrical about female superstar Gabriella Fundora, share our frustrations over Lenier Pero in Florida and ask the question....'Has Sergey Kovalev really said goodbye to Boxing?'
