Showtime Boxing

The big Heavyweight Title rematch we were all waiting for didn't go as many thought it would. No knockdowns, no one hurt, just a lighter, motivated Anthony Joshua boxing circles around Andy Ruiz, who apparently thought all he had to do was show up and he'd win again. What's next for these two? Did the other heavyweights on the card impress? Jermall Charlo had an impressive KO of the awkward, crafty Dennis Hogan and we look ahead to Crawford - Kavaliauskas, Lopez - Commey and more!

The Heavyweight picture is about to get a lot clearer as two weeks after Deontay Wilder solidified his place and set up his rematch with Fury, Anthony Joshua comes back to regain his title and once again be in the conversation as one of the "big 3" but Andy Ruiz may have something to say about that. We preview Showtime Championship Boxing featuring Jermall Charlo vs Dennis Hogan and get some insight from former guest Stephen "Breadman" Edwards, who will also discuss betting lines for all of the weekend's action as well. We are looking forward to the double card on Saturday and this episode will leave you prepared for a great night of boxing!

It's amazing, Deontay Wilder is the undefeated Heavyweight Champion of the World and just made his 10th successful title defense by knocking out Luis Ortiz with one punch and yet he continues to be criticized for his lack of boxing "skills". We might be witnessing the most powerful punch in the history of the sport and let's not forget the size of these men that are being stopped with one monster right hand! Ortiz might have beaten any other heavyweight Saturday night, just not Wilder. One man who was ringside for the fight was Jimmy Lennon Jr. We welcome Jimmy to the show to talk about the fight as well as highlights from his Hall of Fame career.

We welcome Stephen "Breadman" Edwards, trainer to 154 pound unified champ, Julian "JRock" Williams, to talk about JRock, betting on boxing, PEDs, P4P and more. We talk Wilder vs Ortiz II, does "King Kong" have a chance? Shobox delivered two KO's and a controversial decision. Shields vs Habazin announced for the 3rd time and will Jacobs vs Chavez Jr. happen?

What a fight we witnessed on Thursday morning between Naoya Inoue and Nonito Donaire in the finals of the World Boxing Super Series in the Bantamweight division in Japan! Definitely up there in the fight of the year conversation. And then Saturday we witnessed Logan Paul losing to KSI in a fight that will not be considered for fight of the year, maybe the opposite. We look ahead to another Shobox card this Friday night and also debuting that night is Pariah: The Lives and Deaths of Sonny Liston. We talk with the author of the book, Shaun Assael and our former colleague and Hall of Fame Boxing Commentator, Larry Merchant for their unique perspectives on the mystery surrounding Liston's life and death.

We are exhausted because DAZN decided to make everyone wait for hours until the UFC main event was finished.....THANKS! When the fight finally did get started, we witnessed history as Canelo KO'd Sergey Kovalev to become Light Heavyweight Champion of the World. Is that enough to become P4P number 1? 154 contender Erickson Lubin, fresh off his 4th consecutive win, joins us to talk about his career and what's next. We then preview the Donaire vs Inoue fight, KSI vs Logan Paul as well...

A busy weekend of boxing and a busy week to look forward to.  We cover victories by Lubin, Easter Jr. and Sanchez on Showtime Boxing, Josh Taylor's majority decision victory over Regis Prograis in an instant classic and Shakur Stevenson wins the vacant WBO title by beating up his girlfriend's brother, the previously undefeated Joet Gonzalez.  We then welcome Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions to discuss the November 1st Shobox quadruple header at 10:30pm Eastern on Showtime featuring undefeated prospects 130lb Xavier Martinez, 140lb Richardson Hitchins and 135lb Rolando Romero.  We preview Canelo vs Kovalev, comment on the Tank Davis vs Gamboa announcement, Oscar's troubles and more!  

We start the show on a somber note as the boxing world mourned the loss of Patrick Day, an outstanding young man that also happened to be a boxer. Errol Spence Jr., survived being thrown from his Ferrari relatively unscathed, which was sort of a miracle, but now faces DUI charges. On Friday night we were treated to an excellent unification bout at Light Heavyweight as IBF champ Artur Beterbiev defeated WBC champ Oleksandr Gvozdyk via 10th round stoppage. Gvozdyk is out of the hospital with a minor concussion and we expect him to be back in big fights in 2020. We then look ahead to a lot of action next week as Showtime returns Saturday night with a card featuring Erickson Lubin taking on Nathaniel Gallimore and Robert Easter Jr. taking on Adrian Granados. Also on Saturday night is the junior welterweight unification fight between Josh Taylor and Regis Prograis, two undefeated champions! It should be a great weekend of boxing!

Our thoughts and prayers are with Patrick Day as he suffered a brain injury and is now in a coma after being knocked out by Charles Conwell in a junior middleweight fight this past Saturday. Errol Spence Jr. must have received a lot of prayers as he was thrown from his sports car and yet managed not to break any bones and is expected to make a full recovery. Oleksander Usyk, the undisputed Cruiserweight King made his long awaited debut at heavyweight. Can he compete in the land of the giants? We talk light heavyweights as Dmitry Bivol, the WBA Light Heavyweight Champion, defended his title against Lenin Castillo in a lackluster affair. Surely to be more entertaining is the unification bout between two other Light Heavyweight Champions: WBC Champ Olyksander Gvozdyk vs IBF Champ Artur Beterbiev. With Canelo vs Kovalev around the corner, the spotlight for the next couple of weeks is definitely on this very talented division.

We just turned 50! 50 episodes old...we made it! GGG survives against Derevyanchenko, is he starting to age and how will that affect him if he fights Canelo again? It was a wild scene in Flint as someone sucker-punched Habazin's trainer and put him in the hospital, calling off the fight. What will happen next? Boots Ennis and Jermaine Franklin were victorious on Shobox. We are talking Hall of Fame and breaking down the names in several categories. Usyk is making his long-awaited heavyweight debut, Evan Holyfield turning pro and yet more failed PED tests.
