On this episode of The Stand Up Guys, we technically open with a Super Bowl preview — emphasis on technically. We make our picks, touch on the matchup, and then get back to what we actually want to talk about: boxing, kickboxing, and the stories that matter right now.

Right up top, we also address GLORY. We’ve covered a lot of GLORY over the life of this show, but between accessibility issues, presentation problems, and a thinning roster, we explain why that chapter may be on pause for a while. It’s addressed, it’s honest, and then we move on.

From there, we dig into Shakur Stevenson vs Teófimo López, breaking down the fight itself and the reaction that followed — dominance vs entertainment, corner performances, Teófimo Sr.’s post-fight behavior, media backlash, sanctioning body fallout, and what this moment actually means for Shakur going forward.

We also unpack the lawsuit involving Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Showtime, including allegations of massive financial misappropriation, the naming of Stephen Espinoza, and how boxing’s opaque contracts almost guarantee prolonged litigation. We focus on what’s alleged, what’s overstated, and what likely happens next.

Additional discussion topics include:

• The ongoing situation surrounding Gervonta Davis
• Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions’ office loan foreclosure
• PPV pricing optics for Keith Thurman vs Sebastian Fundora on Amazon Prime
• Early signs from **Zuffa Boxing’s second show
• Deontay Wilder’s latest spiral
• A broader check-in on kickboxing’s relevance

Reviews and previews include:

• Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller vs Kingsley Ibeh (yes, that wig incident)
• **Bakhram Murtazaliev vs Josh Kelly
• Josh Padley vs Jaouad Belmehdi
• Bruce “Shu Shu” Carrington vs Carlos Castro
• Nick Ball vs Brandon Figueroa
• ONE Friday Fights 140 & 141
• Preview: Ryan Garcia vs Mario Barrios

No hot takes. No pretending chaos is clarity.
Just stand-up combat sports, covered honestly.
