In this episode, Lukie and (Jason) Lagendorf talk about the return of Errol Spence Jr., who faces Tim Tszyu in Australia on pay-per-view. Three years ago, this would have been massive; now it just is what it is. A solid fight, but a lot of lingering “What ifs?” Does Spence still have it? (He hasn't fought since the Terence Crawford fight)Can Tszyu absorb punishment from a high-level fighter? The answers we don't know.An undercard bout with Jermall Charlo is now off, as he couldn't obtain a visa. Stephen Fulton's official lightweight debut against Liam Wilson will serve as the co-feature, with Australian talent rounding out the rest of the card. Then, we have two high-profile names back in action.Tyson Fury will fight Mariusz Wach in Thailand. As of now, I don't think they have announced how to watch it. Also, on pay-per-view, Anthony Joshua is facing Kristian Prenga. Is it safe to say Joshua is in the unserious part of his career? The pay-per-view card is shockingly thin. WBO super middleweight champ Hamzah Sheeraz will face Simon Zachenhuber. Zachenhuber lost to Pawel August on the previous Fury fight card, but August is buried on the undercard facing Jacob Bank, the man who stopped William Scull. Make it make sense. IBF welterweight champ Josh Kelly returns against Caoimhin Agyarko, which is a good fight, and Ukrainian Olympic gold medalist Oleksandr Khyzhniak will fight. He is more Serhii Bohachuk than he is Lomachenko. Nishant Dev is always a nice treat to see on a card as well. Also, on Sunday at Zuffa Boxing, Edgar Berlanga will make his promotional debut against Steven Butler. Richardson Hitchins will face Ricardo Salas, not an easy debut, and middleweight Sergiy Derevyanchenko will open the main telecast against Jalil Hackett. The undercard is solid with Otto Wallin facing Vladyslav Sirenko, and the promotional debut of Dominique Francis. A good 50-50 fight between Arnold Gonzalez and Emiliano Moreno, and as always, featherweight Troy Nash Jr is must-see TV as he faces unbeaten Ethan Perez.This week, we saw Diego Pacheco stop Immanuwel Aleem. Now, we ask more questions… For my mailbag, I was asked if Pacheco looked different than when he fought Trevor McCumby. Lazily, I will ask Dakota. Buddy McGirt now trains Pacheco; did we see a difference? People seem divided on Pacheco – can we make sense of it all?Also on the undercard, Andy Cruz stopped Abraham Montoya in three rounds and appears headed to the junior lightweight division. Featherweight Albert Gonzalez stopped Aaron Alameda in two rounds. WOW! Also, Bruno Rios and Saul Sanchez had a classic that might get forgotten. You can visit The Good Fight here: http://TheGoodFight12.Substack.comTimestamps0:00 intro and thoughts on The Good Fight11:15 Too many pay-per-views ( Joshua and Spence vs. Tszyu)17:35 Spence vs. Tszyu30:32 Joshua and Tyson Fury fight previews37:24 Why I am mad for Pawel August 46:40 Thoughts on Diego Pacheco59:50 Bruno Rios vs. Saul Sanchez 01:03:50 Zuffa Boxing thoughts01:20:08 Andy Ruiz releases a rap song

The guys go over everything. Then, some newsAnnouncement during the Saturday Matchroom card that super middleweight Diego Pacheco will headline against Immanuwel Aleem on July 26 at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. Andy Cruz vs. Albert Bell IBF lightweight eliminator in the co-feature.  No is done yet, but PBC is working to make WBA junior welterweight titlist Gary Antuanne Russell to make his second defense against Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz (the WBC interim titlist) in late August or September.  Heavyweight Moses Itauma's summer date has been moved to Aug. 29 in London but the hunt is still on for an opponent as Filip Hrgovic has turned down the fight for August. T.J. wonders on all levels WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE with Itauma, who needs rounds and credibility not fighting more regularly.Next, talks are going on for a mandatory fight between WBA lightweight titlist Gervonta "Tank" Davis and Floyd Schofield. How realistic is this for either of them.Opponents set for Edgar Berlanga and Richardson Hitchins on Zuffa Boxing's NYC debut card July 26 at Madison Square Garden Theater. Berlanga will take on two-time middleweight title challenger Steven Butler and Hitchins, moving up to welterweight, will face Ricardo Salas.

In this episode, Lukie is joined by his dear friend Stacks, Anthony Saldaña, a podcast host and contributor to Supreme Boxing. We start with our thoughts on Zuffa Boxing. Lukie praises Julian Rodriguez, Omar Trinidad, Robert Meriwether, and Troy Nash Jr, while they talk about the good and bad of the first event. This is followed by a conversation around Raymond Muratalla defeating Andy Cruz to retain his IBF lightweight title. How big was the win, and what kind of statement did Muratalla make? We briefly touch on the undercard, Khalil Coe missed weight and won a sleepy and debatable decision over Jesse Hart. Also, 2024 U.S. Olympic bronze medalist Omari Jones had a good showing. Then, this week...We have two big cards.Shakur Stevenson will face the WBO junior welterweight titleholder Teofimo Lopez. What are the stories at play for this fight, and is the snowstorm going to be a hidden story of this fight card? Other notable fights on this pay-per-view are: the junior welterweight debut of Keyshawn Davis against Jamaine Ortiz, WBC middleweight champ Carlos Adames versus Austin "Ammo" Williams and Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller facing Kingsley Ibeh. On Top Rank Classics FAST channels, WBO junior middleweight Xander Zayas will face the WBA titleholder Abass Baraou in a unification bout in Puerto Rico. How will Zayas look in his homecoming bout in Puerto Rico? Is Baraou underrated or overrated after his Yoenis Tellez win? Undercard notables are the 154lbs debut of  Giovani Santillan and welterweight Rohan Polanco. Zuffa Boxing will return on Sunday. The card will feature Jose "Rayo" Valenzuela versus Diego Torres, Serhii Bohachuk vs Radzhab Butaev, and a light heavyweight contender bout between Oleksandr Gvozdyk vs. Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic. 0:00 Intro meet Zack1:00 Zuffa Boxing14:30 Jai Opetaia 18:08 Raymond Muratalla 26:20 Undercard35:00 Shakur-Teofimo41:00 undercard49:50 Xander Zayas-Abass Baraou55:00 Zuffa Boxing 02

In this show, we talk about the odd week Golden Boy Promotions had. From losing two fights on Friday night's card to the drama between star-fighter Vergil Ortiz and the promotional entity, what is the future of the company? We also talk about the action from last night with Abraham Gonzalez of FightsATW.com, who was there live. Raul Curiel defeated Jordan Panthen in a middleweight catchweight bout, Jorge Chavez outpointed "Gucci" Manny Flores in their rematch, plus observations about the undercard. We also talk about Nikita Tszyu-Michael Zerafa and the odd ending to that fight. Then, we move to this week. It is the start of Zuffa Boxing on Paramount Plus. The fight card as of now will feature junior middleweight Callum Walsh vs Carlos Ocampo, Mexican Olympian Misael Rodriguez-Austin Deanda, and Julian Rodriguez-Cain Sandoval. We preview the match-ups and we talk about what we expect from the production. That same night on DAZN, a very good bout between, Jose Tito Sanchez and Jesus Ramirez Rubio will take place at featherweight. Then, the card Lukie can't wait to see: IBF beltholder Raymond Muratalla faces Andy Cruz. It could be for who is the best in the division, given the uncertain framework of the future of the division. Other notables include the return of Israil Madrimov at middleweight, Khalil Coe vs Jesse Hart, which is a great bout, and 2024 U.S. Olympic Bronze medalist Omari Jones. Super middleweight Ronny Alvarez is a fighter to monitor on this card as well.

A very intriguing heavyweight main event in England leads our show and we got lots of news incluidng on the heavyweight division's top stars on the newest "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast!"Host T.J. Rives returns with insider Dan Rafael to give their takes.First a preview of Saturday's Queensberry/DAZN PPV main event from LondonJoseph Parker vs. Fabio Wardley, 12 rounds, for Parker's WBO interim heavyweight title. It's a significant risk for Parker against the hard punching Wardley, when he's already in line to be the full WBO champ or get the undisputed title shot with Oleksandr Usyk next year. Then, some NewsWe are recapping Danny Garcia's KO4 of Daniel Rodriguez last Saturday night in Brooklyn, NY. Is Danny done and is he a HOFer?Next, Usyk says he is back in training after back injury, plans to fight in 2026 and wants to fight for three more years (until he is 41). We're not so sure on that last one.Meanwhile, Tyson Fury strongly reiterated his retirement (yet, again) in an interview with YouTube channel FurociTV. We still don't believe him at this point.And, then that leaves... After teasing a December return for Anthony Joshua, Eddie Hearn has said he won't be back until at least February and perhaps, in Africa. Will Joshua end up fighting Fury??Next, Matchroom Boxing on Thursday won the purse bid for the fight between IBF lightweight titlist Raymond Muratalla and Matchroom-promoted mandatory challenger Andy Cruz.

Finally some decent action in the ring this weekend in both Philly and England and we're ready to go over it and the news and more on the newest "Big Fight Weekend Preview" Podcast.Host T.J.

Anything of note here? Next, a preview of the Saturday Matchroom Boxing/DAZN main event in Sheffield, EnglandDavid Allen vs. Arslanbek Makhmudov, 12 rounds, heavyweight main event.

So, stay tuned.Then, the News:Arturo Gatti Jr., the 17 year old son of the legend and rising amateur fighter, allegedly commits suicide in Mexico this week. However, there should be questions asked, as his mother and Gatti Sr.'s widow is involved again just like the death investigation into the father's death in Brazil 16 years ago that is still shrouded in controversy. Dan has tremendous insight on this and T.J. is, let's just say, not buying the intial reports of a "suicide" for the younger Gatti, too.Next the Issac "Pitbul" Cruzl- Lamont Roach bout had a  kick off news conference on Wednesday in San Antonio, TX ahead of their December 6 PBC Prime Video PPV.
