It's the latest editon of the recap show as host T.J. Rives and insider Dan Rafael of his Fight Freaks Unite Substack and Newsletter are back with plenty to go over from Arizona to Puerto Rico and even, Bulgaria. And, they add some fight news and great nostalgia.First, they go over Saturday's Top Rank/ESPN card from Phoneix, as Emanuel Navarrete wipes out Oscar Valdez in their rematch and retains the WBO junior lightweight title. What's the future for both?Then, Rafael Espinoza stops Robeisy Ramirez in a bizarre re-enactment of the Roberto Duran's famous "No Mas" against Sugar Ray Leonard in the Saturday rematch with Ramirez to retain the WBO featherweight title. What was really going on with Ramirez's eye and will Espinoza end up on the track to move up and fight Navarrete?Next, It's Saturday's Matchroom/DAZN card from San Juan, Puerto Rico, where Richardson Hitchins defeated Liam Paro by decision and wins IBF junior welterweight title. It was at times a dull bout, but Hitchins was clearly better. And, what's n store for him? Dan also has more on Saturday's Epic Sports/DAZN card from Sofia, Bulgaria, where heavyweight Kubrat Pulev decisioned Mahmoud Charr, for the WBA “regular” title. Then, some news, including: Canelo Alvarez spoke to the media scrum in at a restaurant opening in California and opens door to Crawford fight, and on working with Turki and a possible Jake Paul fight?Not shoicking, but Israil Madrimov is suffering from "acute bronchitis" and withdrew from the Dec 21 fight with Serheii Bohachuk, who will instead face replacement Ishmael Davis. It's expected Madrimov recover and get ready for Vergil Ortiz on Feb. 22 on another Riyadh card.Finally, it's Nostalgia as on Dec. 8 – 17 years ago Sunday – Floyd Mayweather retains lineal/WBC welterweight title by highlight-reek KO in 10th of junior welterweight champion Ricky 'Hitman" Hatton in as big a fight as there was in the era. Wildest fight week ever. 30K Brits come to Vegas and the MGM runs out of beer! Dan was ringside for it all.Also, on Dec. 8 – 12 years ago Sunday – Juan Manuel Marquez, on verge of being stopped, scores one of greatest KOs of all time as he puts newly elected hall of famer Manny Pacquiao to sleep, face first with one shot at the end of RD 6 in their 4th and final fight. This was his only win of the series and the only result of the series that was definitive. It was the KO of the year, Fight of the Year, Fight of the decade. Big Dan was ringside at the MGM Grand.And, Sunday is also Bob Arum turned 93 years old. We give a little Arum appreciation on his amazing career.It's all part of the "Fight Freaks Unite Recap Podcast" and make sure to follow/subscribe on Apple/Spreaker/Spotify, etc.!

It was a win but far from impressive for Terence Crawford in capturing the WBA 154 lb. title Saturday night in Los Angeles. And, we're ready to recap that main event and the entire Riyadh Season card, plus, hear from a top Golden Boy Boxing contender in Vergil Ortiz, news and nostalgia on the newest "Fight Freaks Unite Recap Podcast!"Host T.J. Rives returns with insider Dan Rafale of his Fight Freaks Unite Substack and BigFightWeekend.com are ready to go over it all. This, as Big Dan was on scene in California for rthis card that had a title upset and a HUGE heavyweight KO, too.First, Crawford defeats champ Israil Madrimov.in a 12 round decision, but clearly had trouble scoring on the Uzbek former amateur star in the win. Dan has thoughts on Crawford and is a challenge of Canelo Alvarez two divisions up really an intriguing fight?They also go over the Jose Valenzuela upset of Issac "Pitbull" Cruz by decision, as Valenzuela was the sharper figher in taking Cruz's WBA 140 lb. crown. Also, what's the future of both guys? Also, Dan has a great story about running into Valenzuela late Saturday night after his upset.Then, it's heavyweight time as Andy Ruiz and Jarrell Miller fought a sloppy, big punching draw. Was the decision right? Should they fight again and how bad is Ruiz's injured right hand? And, what about Martin Bakole of the Congo pummeling American star Jared Anderson in a 5th round TKO upset? Bakole has definitely put himself into a large position in the top heavyweight contender category with the win. And, with everyone questioning Anderson's dedication to fighting, even at 24, will he respond from taking a real beating and stoppage Saturday for his first loss?Dan also has thoughts on being there for David Morrell's light heavyweight win and Andy Cruz facing a tough test from Antonio Moarn, but pulling out the fight. Then, hear from Vergil Ortiz as he returns to the ring to challenge for the interim WBC 154 lb. title fight against Serhii Bohachuk in a 12 round main event in Vegas this week. He talks with Dan about that battle and his future that could now include a bout with Crawford down the road.
