In this episode, we start with Canelo Alvarez's big week. Still, nothing is official, but it appears Canelo will be involved in a four-fight Riyadh Season deal. What does this mean? Who are their possible opponents for him? Is Jake Paul part of this?

Then, we begin the two-week marathon. This week we have three big shows.

In this podcast, Lukie and Dakota recap a lot of fights...

First, David Benavidez won over David Morrell, followed by Stephen Fulton Jr. becoming a two-division champion and upsetting Brandon Figueroa. The banger of the night was Isaac Cruz vs. Angel Fierro, which could be one of the best fights of the year, and Jesus Ramos Jr. stopped Jeison Rosario.

We also touch on the prelim action which included a great fight between Mirco Cuello and Christian Olivo, Yoenli Hernandez a new middleweight guy, and Curmel Moton.

Other results we touch on: Adam Azim stopped Sergey Lipinets, Callum Simpson is trying his best for Dakota to remember his name as he returned two weeks after his last win, then on the Friday Matchroom card George Liddard was in tough against Derrick Osaze, Junaid Bostan was lucky to leave with a draw against Bilal Fawaz, Jimmy Sains is a lot of fun, and Taylor Bevan could be a guy.

Also, a breakdown of Claressa Shields vs Danielle Perkins

This week's fights:

Tuesday on CountryBox's Youtube page, Oliver McCall will fight in a six-round bout, and super middleweight Maidel Sando takes on veteran Vaughn Alexander.

Thursday on ESPN+, Eye of the Tiger returns with a fight card. Notable bouts are Arthur Biyarslanov facing Mohamed Mimoune in a 10-round junior welterweight bout, co-feature Bakhodir Jalolov vs. David Spilmont, and light heavyweight contender Albert Ramirez faces Marko Calic

On Friday, DAZN will telecast Daniel Dos Santos against Shakan Pitters, a 12-round light heavyweight fight. 

Saturday on DAZN, we have "the big fight" as heavyweight Derek Chisora faces Otto Wallin. The co-feature is a gatekeeper match between Willy Hutchinson vs. Zach Parker.

Saturday on ProBox TV, we have the best card of the week. Ramon Cardenas vs. Bryan Acosta in a junior featherweight fight. A bout that has consequences for the top of the division. A middleweight fight between two unbeaten fighters as Lester Martinez vs. Joeshon James could steal the show. Lightweight Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov vs. Justin Pauldo will also happen and bantamweight Michael Angeletti vs. Judy Flores.
