We roll into the final weekend of March with two different compelling fight cards in Mexico and Las Vegas. A former world champion at 154 lb. joins us and more on the newest "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast!"

Host T.J. Rives returns with insider Dan Rafael of his Fight Freaks Unite Substack to go over it all.

They preview the Saturday night Golden Boy DAZN card in Cancun, Mexico with William Zepeda vs. Tevin Farmer in a rematch for Zepeda’s WBC interim lightweight title. Zepeda is #1 in all four organizations and it was a close/compelling bout late last year. In the co-feature Oscar Collazo meets Edwin Cano for Collazo’s unified strawweight titles. Collazo has been an active and entertaining champ.

Next it's the Saturday night Top Rank card in Las Vegas that has Mikaela Mayer vs. Sandy Ryan in another immediate rematch for Mayer’s WBO women’s welterweight title. A close battle with some controversy out of the ring the first time late last year. The co-feature has Brian Norman fighting little known Derrieck Cuevas for Norman’s WBO welterweight title in his first defense. And, also, Bruce “Shu Shu” Carrington starts the TV card with Jose Enrique Vivas in a WBC featherweight eliminator.
 
Next it's Tim Tszyu with Dan. He's coming off a hard KO loss to Bakhram in an IBF world title fight last October- his second straight loss. Tszyu faces Joey Spencer in junior middleweight headliner of PBC on Pime on April 5 (USA time) in Newcastle, Australia  (where it will be afternoon of April 6). Tszyu is candid about what has happened and what he needs to do coming up.
