On today’s show, the panel discusses all of the fights from this past weekend, led by the back-and-forth action in Carson, California (StubHub Center) where Andre Berto and Victor Ortiz traded punches and knockdowns in their four round classic.

 

Berto was able to pull off the win, and in grand fashion, but what does this mean for the state of the young and talented welterweight division? Is Berto a major player? Is Ortiz’s career as a welterweight prizefighter over? We will answer all of these questions as we speak of the Ortiz-Berto undercard which showcased a number of terrific fights.

 

We will also discuss the ShowTime card with Badou Jack taking on Lucian Bute and James DeGale squaring off against Rogelio Medina. After breaking down the card’s action, we will present some scenarios for the remainder of the tournament.

 

Friday night’s action went as planned as the Dirrell brothers both won, but the panel will breakdown the meaning of the card and what is likely to come of it.

 

Overseas action led by Hughie Fury and Fred Kassi.

 

With the time remaining, we will bring you some news and notes from the world of boxing and perhaps give a small taste of what is to come with next week’s Canelo-Khan PPV.

And, of course, we will be taking live calls on air from you the voice of the people. From Alumni to first-time callers, we encourage everyone to call 646-478-3068 to voice your opinion.

In one of the busiest boxing weekends of the year, Thaboxingvoice Radio show will discuss each major upcoming televised card which is led by the most anticipated fight of the weekend between welterweight fighters Victor Ortiz and Andre Berto, who will fight in a rematch of their April 2011 fight, live on FOX this Saturday.

Ortiz-Berto takes place at the StubHub Center in Carson, California with a fun undercard packed with interesting fights. In the co-feature, Edwin Rodriguez will look to continue the rejuvenation of his career at light heavyweight as he goes for his 5th straight win against the Maryland-born fighter Thomas Williams Jr. Also on the card, Fernando Montiel-Jorge Lara, Gerald Washington-Eddie Chambers, and Terrell Gausha-Orlando Lora.

Also taking place on Saturday, a ShowTime card featuring the four participants of a super middleweight tournament involving two of the division’s best fighters, titlists Badou Jack and James DeGale in separate bouts. Jack defends his WBC title vs. Lucian Bute while DeGale puts his IBF belt at 168lbs against Rogelio "Porky" Medina. Chris Pearson and Sharif Bogere make up the brighter spots of this undercard in separate bouts.

Before Saturday’s card, PBConSPIKE will televise a card featuring the Dirrell brothers. Anthony Dirrell headlines the card against Caleb Truax as his brother Andre Dirrell takes on Blake Caparello in the evening’s co-feature. Jonathan Guzman fights Daniel Rosas in a 12 round IBF junior featherweight eliminator on the undercard.

The panel will also discuss a few of the newsworthy happenings from this past week before opening up the phone lines, namely, the press conferences that took place this week for two of the biggest fights scheduled for this year: Keith Thurman-Shawn Porter and Tyson Fury-Wladimir Klitschko.

Unified middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin was the overwhelming favorite against virtual unknown mandatory challenger Dominic Wade, and Golovkin nullified any chance of an upset, overpowering his opponent in an absolutely devastating performance.

 

Golovkin, 34, knocked down Wade three times in a crushing, second-round knockout victory before a raucous, pro-GGG, sellout crowd of 16,353 on Saturday night at The Forum. And then GGG called once again for the fight the world wants to see: a showdown with middleweight world champion Canelo Alvarez.

 

"I feel great. I'm here now, and I'm here to stay. I'm not going anywhere. Give me my belt, give me my belt! Let's fight," said Golovkin, directing his comments toward Alvarez.

Undefeated rising welterweight star Errol "The Truth" Spence Jr. (20-0, 17 KOs) went emphatically from prospect to contender with a fifth-round stoppage of former world champion Chris Algieri (21-3, 8 KOs) on Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on NBC Saturday night from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

 

"It meant a lot to get the stoppage," said Spence Jr. "I did something Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan couldn't do. That shows where I'm at in the welterweight division."

 

Spence Jr. was superior in every regard as he took control of the fight from the beginning with world-class bodywork and blazing speed. Algieri was expected to be a major step-up for the 2012 U.S. Olympian, but was unable to bother his opponent despite landing 31 percent of his punches to Spence Jr.'s 30 percent per CompuBox stats.

Manny Pacquiao finished his rivalry with Timothy Bradley with the most convincing win of the three bouts. This time, Pacquiao was able to put Bradley on the canvas multiple times throughout the fight and severely hurt the California-born fighter, which is in contrast to his effort in the first two fights.

 

Anthony Joshua gave fans at the O2 Arena in Greenwich, London, United Kingdom a big time show when he tore through American champion Charles Martin. Joshua picked up the IBF title in the process of stopping Martin in just two rounds of their 12 round championship fight.

 

This was a big time performance after Joshua built up hype around the fight, selling out the arena in less than a day.

On today’s show, the guys at Thaboxingvoice discuss this weekend’s HBO PPV showdown between welterweights Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley, taking place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight has been met with plenty of criticism stemming from Pacquiao’s controversial comments, but there was little excitement surrounding the fight in the first place.

 

We’ll find out how convinced Nes is with the storyline that suggests Bradley is a different fighter with a much better chance to defeat Pacquiao now that he has Teddy Atlas in his corner.

 

Will Beeb take the odds and push Bradley, or are the odds to close for the kind of danger Pacquiao presents?

 

The resident “casual fan” will obviously have his opinions on this fight, and early indications suggest he is going with Timothy Bradley, we’ll find out why?

 

There is an even bigger fight this weekend amongst hardcore fans and that is the heavyweight title fight between the traveling champion Charles Martin and young UK challenger Anthony Joshua. The winner of this heavyweight will launch himself into a new stratosphere.
