30 años despues de derrotar a Greg Haugen, JC. Chavez vuelve al azteca!Mauricio Lara se corona en Inglaterra!Canelo Alvarez regresa a pelear a Jalisco!
On our latest show, there were two action packed bouts on different continents that both resulted in TKOs and the guys are back for the breakdown of Luis Nery and Mauricio Lara's victories on the "Fight Freaks Unite Reap" podcast. Host T.J. Rives returns with Dan Rafael, insider of BigFightWeekend.com to go over it all with also some news and nostalgia, as well. First, they discuss the Luis Nery TKO over Azat Hovhanissyan to cap the Golden Boy Boxing show in California Saturday night. Dan says this one has the makings of a fight of the year candidate. And, he has more on what's next for Nery in the near term off his grueling victory. Next up, was Lara's TKO in the 7th round of Britain's Leigh Wood to capture the WBA Featherweight world title in Nottingham, England. Lara used a booming left to earn the stoppage, but was it too soon for Wood's corner to call it off. The guys have good debate with examples pro and con for letting a fight go on. Dan has more fight news, including that we have an imminent official fight announcement for the Gervonta Davis-Ryan Garcia bout for April 15 in Las Vegas. Also, Dan has a date before that in April for WBC top 154 lb. contender Sebastian Fundora and some other news involving upcoming fight cards too. Finally, there's some excellent nostalgia talk on the 30th anniversary of legendary Julio Cesar Chavez's win over Greg Haugen in front of a still record 132,000+ fans in Mexico City. Just ridiculous is that crowd number for the hall of famer Chavez?

Former world boxing champ Greg Haugen joins us on the Silvi Knows podcast to talk about his new book, "Tough Man - The Greg Haugen Story." He shares a lot of stories from the book as well as some not in the book, like the time boxing legend Emanuel Steward lost $625,000 betting against Haugen (29:20).Haugen starts and ends the podcast talking about his disdain for Vinnie Pazienza and how they've never spoken since their third and final fight against each other.Other topics include Haugen's days of fighting in Tough Man competitions in Alaska (22:00), the one boxer who hit him so hard he blacked out in the first round (17:45), Haugen's fastest knockout (20:45) as well as his favorite fight of his career (23:30). Haugen also talks about a possible Mike Tyson comeback (31:20) and why Muhammad Ali was his all time favorite.
Greg Haugen, the Fighting Pride of the Great Northwest, is profiled on today's episode of the Characters of Boxing. Haugen was famous for taking on the role of the visitor and was never scared to travel far and wide to take on foes on their home turf. He may also best be remembered for one of the most iconic quotes in boxing history. We explore why he was such a character and all-time great who should be remembered for much more than just his epic loss to Julio César Chávez in Mexico City.
Greg Haugen made a name for himself in the 1980s and 90s fighting some of the biggest names in boxing. The Auburn, Washington native battled Hector Macho Camacho, Vinny Pazienza, Ray Mancini and one of the most famous champions of all in that era, Julio Cesar Chavez.That Chavez fight was for the WBC Super Lightweight Championship and it still holds the record for the largest paid attendance crowd in boxing history. Haugen talks about all of his big bouts in this week's Silvi Knows podcast. Pazienza (8:00), Camacho (13:00) as well as the rematch with Camacho just three months later (20:00). When Haugen fought Mancini, he challenged him to a winner-take-all bout where the two fighters placed a side bet before climbing into the ring (23:00).It was Haugen's last championship bout against Chavez (25:25) that left him with the biggest regret of his career. Haugen's experiences from that night in front of 133,000 fans in Mexico City (31:00), are memorable and all on this week's podcast.

I learned a lot preparing for this one, I hope you guys do to, and send me ways you connected with Mexican culture! (that aren't racist, but do I even need to say that?) I talk about a Julio Cesar Chavez fight against Greg Haugen (who said Chavez had been fighting cab drivers who his Mom could beat) that resonated a lot in Mexican culture. Listen to the, "Mexico!" chants and cheer Julio on to victory here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdtiqU_3EY8 Plot twist, Greg is from Seattle Washington and was born in Auburn! The quote I read at the end is written by Dr. Jose M. Alamillo from the book, "Celebrate Cinco De Mayo: With Fiestas, Music, and Dance." I hope everyone has a fantastic Cinco De Mayo, be responsible, and be not racist! EDIT: I say Battle of Pueblo the first time I talk about it, it is the Battle of Puebla. I try so hard not to screw these things up!!!!
