Podcast appearances and mentions of Devin Haney

Send us Fan MailBoxing doesn't change because fans argue online, it changes when the business forces fighters to pick a direction. We start with Devin Haney facing a real crossroads: negotiate the WBO mandatory with Keyshawn Davis, risk a purse bid, or vacate and chase a bigger moment. We talk through what each option signals, why timing matters, and why a “dangerous fight” isn't always the same as a “sellable fight.” Then we get into the matchup boxing fans keep demanding: Haney vs Shakur Stevenson at 144. We break down the style clash, the weight talk, and the core question of how rounds get won when both guys are elite technicians. We also address what Shakur has shown lately on the front foot, why his accuracy changes the scoring optics, and what the Ryan Garcia fight did to the public conversation around Haney's defense and durability. From there, it's the big headline: Shakur Stevenson signing with Zuffa Boxing. We dig into what “what's next” really means, how Saudi funding and platform alignment can make cross-promotional fights easier, and why belts might become optional when the bag is massive. We close with the wild side of the sport: Teofimo Lopez vs Rolly Romero, Tank Davis' next move and star power, Floyd Mayweather headlines, and the Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn twist that puts Zuffa right back in the title picture. If you're into boxing news, fight breakdowns, and the behind-the-scenes politics that decide the schedule, hit subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a review.

In this episode, Lukie and Dakota start with the news. Four-division titleholder Shakur Stevenson signed with Zuffa Boxing. With rumors that Oleksandr Usyk and Devin Haney may sign with Zuffa, is the takeover imminent? What are the guys' thoughts on this? Then, we shift to PBC announcing a deal with DAZN, which would have seemed unheard of before this year. Is this a direct response to Zuffa Boxing? They announced a few fights (without official fight dates), but in August WBA welterweight champ Rolando Romero will face Teofimo Lopez. The guys give early thoughts on this fight.The guys recap a very light week of boxing. Murat Gassiev stopped late-sub Peter Kadiru in six rounds. Kadiru filled in for Gassiev's original opponent, 2016 French Olympic gold medalist Tony Yoka, but was outgunned. Also, Artem Suslenkov stopped former contender Joe Joyce in what should be Joyce's last pro fight. The ending was very sad. Then, we look ahead. Another light week of boxing.Super middleweight Diego Pacheco faces Immanuwel Aleem. It is a DAZN main event bout, and the return of boxing to the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. Lightweight Andy Cruz will face Abraham Montoya, after his original opponent, Albert Bell, fought Abdullah Mason on short notice earlier this month. Middleweight Frank Espinoza and lightweight Sammy Contreras Jr are notable prospects to watch, but a good 50-50 fight to watch for is Saul Sanchez vs. unbeaten Bruno Rios. Heavyweight Leo Atang is someone I keep wondering just how good he is, too. In the U.K., welterweight Harlem Eubank is in tough against David Papot, and on ProBox TV an assortment of fights including Bryan Flores vs. Jonathan Navarro, junior middleweight Kevin Anton vs. Vladimir Hernandez, and Charly Suarez vs. Manuel "Tino" Avila.Timestamps:0:00 Shakur to Zuffa Boxing12:03 PBC to DAZN20:55 Teofimo Lopez vs Rolando Romero29:30 Joe Joyce, Murat Gassiev40:00 Diego Pacheco returns46:40 undercard56:37 Other stuff

In this Tapas compilation of episodes 364 and 365, El Uno and TraB the Wonder dissect the importance of individuality and the absurdity of media narratives. The conversation starts with a critique of the "Shiesty" ski mask trend and why following the crowd—being a "square" versus a follower—has evolved in modern culture. They then analyze how the media manipulates narratives to drive engagement, using Angel Reese's unapologetic authenticity and the hatred aimed at Deion Sanders' character-building approach at Colorado as prime examples of audiences missing the bigger picture. The hosts also drop crucial advice on local politics and voting, before closing out with a brutal critique of Devin Haney's decision to sue Ryan Garcia after a loss in the boxing ring.00:00:06 – The "Shiesty" ski mask trend: Why wearing winter gear as a fashion statement is goofy. 00:02:18 – Being a "square" vs. being a follower: Understanding Black cultural identity and pride. 00:08:43 – The power of the Black dollar and how cultural conversations drive corporate marketing. 00:11:42 – Media manipulation: How the sports world created the Angel Reese hate storm for clicks. 00:17:54 – Political reality checks: Why young voters are targeted and the importance of local elections. 00:21:42 – Deion Sanders at Colorado: Why the media hates "Prime Time" and his focus on building better men over football wins. 00:28:49 – Boxing's low point: Reacting to Devin Haney suing Ryan Garcia over a left hook.

The New York Knicks are now one win away from the NBA Finals after pulling off an unbelievable 107-106 comeback victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4. After trailing by as many as 29 points, Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, and the Knicks stormed back to take a commanding 3-1 series lead. On this episode, Bubba Dub breaks down:The Knicks' historic comebackDe'Aaron Fox's costly late-game decisionJalen Brunson's leadership and 36-point performanceOG Anunoby stepping up on both endsWhy the Spurs collapsed in the second halfWhether New York can close the series outGame 5 predictionsPlus, Bubba Dub dives into boxing talk, including Devin Haney vs. Keyshawn Davis, discusses the Dallas Cowboys' upcoming season, and gives his unfiltered thoughts on everything happening in sports right now. If you're a Knicks fan, Spurs fan, or just love basketball, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

The guys start by talking about a potential Shakur Stevenson-Devin Haney rumored bout. Then, they talk about Chris Billam-Smith versus Ryan Rozicki, which is by far Zuffa Boxing's best fight to date. The guys are split on opinions around Zuffa, and we talk about roughly six months into the new boxing entities' rise in the sport. We also talk about light heavyweight Albert Ramirez's split decision over Lerrone Richards, and a bit on junior lightweight Josh Padley's win over Aqib Fiaz, which was a decent domestic match. IBF flyweight titleholder Masamichi Yabuki defeated Rene Calixto. Is Yabuki the forgotten pound-for-pound level talent? Andrew Moloney defeated Willibaldo Garcia Perez to win the IBF junior bantamweight title. Also, Michael Angeletti defeated Kenneth Llover in a bantamweight bout with title implications, and in “the bad boy bout,” John Riel Casimero stopped Luis Nery in four rounds. Then, we switch gears to history – Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez looks to further his legacy as he aims to be a three-division world champion, as he faces WBA bantamweight champion, Antonio Vargas. Rodriguez is currently No.3 on Lukie's pound-for-pound list, and even higher on others. A win here puts him in the running for a potential chance to become undisputed against Moloney, or even a mega-fight against Naoya Inoue. Also, on the card, women's IBF lightweight champ Elif Nur Turhan will face Gabriela Tellez, and Arturo Cardenas will rematch Jordan Martinez in a junior featherweight bout. Other bouts of note, Sunday Salita Promotions returns with Jonathan “Bomba” Gonzalez vs. Abraham Perez. It is a good bout, with Brandon Moore, Joshua Pagan, and others featured on the DAZN broadcast. Another MVP card will take place with Oshae Jones rematching Elia Carranza, with her IBF title on the line, and a good local fight, Bruce Seldon Jr. vs. Josh Popper, will happen in New Jersey.Timestamps0:00 Intro1:20 Devin Haney vs Shakur Stevenson7:23 CBS-Ryan Rozicki19:23 Casimero-Nery25:00 Bam Rodriguez-Antonio Vargas33:00 undercard39:30 La Bomba Gonzalez-Abraham Perez46:00 MVP card
