In this episode, Dakota returns after two weeks off from the show. 

We get his take on the cards that started May from Times Square, Ryan Garcia-Rolando Romero, Canelo Alvarez-William Scull, and Naoya Inoue-Ramon Cardenas. We then jump into this week’s show in which heavyweight Dave Allen stops Johnny Fisher. Could a trilogy happen?

The undercard was very regional, but Kieron Conway continues to have “John Ryder vibes”, George Liddard is climbing the ranks and Shannon Ryan is a tricky fighter to judge, we will explain.

Sam Goodman defeated Cesar Vaca Espinoza in the middle of the week. It was his first fight of 2025. 

Also, Serhii Bohachuk returned defeating Mykal Fox, but it was hard than many expected and it took place at middleweight. Omar Trinidad also picked up a victory on this card. 

This week, we preview the return of Josh Taylor against Ekow Essuman. Also, heavyweight Moses Itauma vs. Mike Balogun will be the co-feature. 

Terri Harper-Natalie Zimmermann will happen with Harper’s WBO women’s lightweight belt on the line, the co-feature on this card will be Maxi Hughes taking on Archie Sharp in a lightweight bout. 

Angelo Leo looks to defend his IBF featherweight title against Tomoki Kameda in Japan.
