We head into another weekend with a Thursday night championshp double header in Vegas to go over, fight to preview from England to L.A., fight news, nostalgia and more on the "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast."Host T.J. Rives returns with insider Dan Rafael of BigFightWeekend.com to go over it all starting with the horrific, dull, main event for Top Rank Boxing/ESPN as Shakur Stevenson got his hand raised in a 12 round decision for the WBC lightweight crown, but it was a putrid showing. His opponent Edwin De Los Santos did nothing throughout the bout and the fight was being booed in the arena from the middle rounds on. The boys go off with their takes on just how bad it was and how does Shakur's credibility recover?The co-feature was the opposite as Emanuel Navarrete outslugged Robson Conceicao in a wild 12 round battle. Navarrete scored two knockdowns, landed the bigger shots throughout, but Conceicao was busier and lasted the distance. In the end- it was a draw? Dan and T.J. give analysis and will we see it, again soon for Navarrete's 130 lb. title?Then, there is fight news, on the official Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk undisputed heavyweight title announcement and presser for February 17th. This came on the heels of the official announcement for December 23rd's stacked PPV invloving Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder in separate fights, etc.Finally, the boys have great nostalgia on the near 40th anniversary of many of the 1984 U.S. Olympic fighters making their debuts at Madison Square Garden at NYC in 1984. Also, nostalgia on Roy Jones Jr.'s dominant performance over James Toney nearly 30 years ago and the Klitchsko brothers debut, as well.It's all on the "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast" and make sure to follow/subscribe on Appple, Google, Spreaker, Spotify, etc.!

The Hall of Famer from the Virgin Islands, Julian Jackson is undoubtedly one of the biggest punchers the sport has seen. Jackson knocked out 49 of 55 opponents, creating one of the sport's great highlight reels along the way.  He was a Don King stalwart, but some of the big fights Jackson wanted, against the likes of Roy Jones and James Toney, failed to materialise, but Jackson had two violent battles with Gerald McClellan, a shootout with Mike McCallum, annihilated Buster Drayton, Dennis Milton, Terry Norris and infamously blew Herol Graham away with a shocking knockout when behind on the cards and blinded in one eye. Jackson talks about his journey, which was shaped by an alcoholic mother, to being a father, growing up rough, missing out on the boycotted Olympics of 1980 and his sensational ride through the sport and into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. 

There's not a major fight card to go over, but we still have plenty, including a two time world champ, on the newest "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast!"Host T.J. Rives returns with insider Dan Rafael of BigFightWeekend.com to cover all fronts, including the news and nostalgia.There wasn't nostalgia but more outrage over James Toney and Razor Ruddock fighting an exhibition in Jamaica this weekend. Dan gives his disdain for it.Then with two title fights involving Shakur Stevenson and Emanuel Navarrete looming on the same Las Vegas card next Thursday, Dan talks one on one with Stevenson about going for the WBC lightweight crown and more.

And, the Nevada Commission lists it as a "PPV" for now. We go over what it might be.Plus, PBC finalizes the rest of Benavidez-Andrade card with two Showtime YouTube and Facebook bouts: Sergey Lipinets vs. Michel Rivera and Vito Mielnicki Jr. vs. Alexis Salazar And, we talk about the ring return of former WBO 130 lb. champ Jamel Herring's victory out of retirement from Tuesday night, won by KO1 of young Nick Molina in NYC.Finally, there's nostalgia anniversaries on Sergey Kovalev routing Bernard Hopkins to unify three light heavy bellts, Miguel Cotto decisioning Shane Mosley to retain WBA welterweight title in 2007 and some 40 years ago Friday – Marvelous Marvin Hagler defeats Roberto Duran to retain undisputed middleweight title, too.It's all part of the "Big Fight Weekend Preview" and make sure to follow/subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, Spotify, Google, etc.!!

Hasim 'The Rock' Rahman shocked the world when he knocked out Lennox Lewis to become the lineal world heavyweight champion.

Having survived shootings on the streets of Baltimore, his life hit a crossroads and he focused on boxing.  He would go on to fight David Tua, Oleg Maskaev, Lewis twice, John Ruiz, Wladimir Klistchko, James Toney, Corrie Sanders and many more in his career that spanned 50 wins, nine losses with two draws.

Born in Birmingham but now living in Los Angeles, Rachel Charles has become one of boxing's most popular publicists.  She started working for Dan Goossen, thanks to James Toney, and her impressive list of clients includes Buddy McGirt, Andre Ward, Paul Williams, Golden Boy Promotions, Zab Judah and many more. But Rachel has not had it easy. She was abused when she was young, but now finds common ground with fighters who have suffered from trauma. She was inspired by the likes of Debbie Caplan and Jackie Kallen in the business side of boxing, made history as the first woman to work with a Saudi Arabian fighter and after more than 20 years in the sport explains why she can't get it out of her blood.

Ponce looks ahead to his February 25 World Title bout versus Subriel Matias and explains why fight fans are in for a real treat that night. Council discusses his successful pro career, and the growing stable of fighters under his tutelage, which includes former unified 154-pound champ Jarrett Hurd, highly touted prospect Travon Marshall and another phenom in David Whitmire.

THE death of Ron Lewis was a horrible, sobering shock. In this week's episode the extent of his impact on boxing, and how much he'll be missed, is abundantly clear as the fraternity gather to pay tribute.We preview a fight he was scheduled to attend, the sumptuous featherweight showdown between Leigh Wood and Mauricio Lara. A genuine 50-50 that's oh so hard to call, yet we nonetheless attempt to pick a winner.There's news of Chris Eubank Jnr, Dec Spelman and, in a real treat for fans of a certain vintage, we look back on arguably James Toney's greatest ever performance.Rate and review if you have time, but most important of all, give us a follow so you don't miss an episode. Thanks one and all.

If anyone has a hard luck story in the sport, it's two-time former world light-heavyweight champion Montell Griffin. Yes, he beat James Toney after barely a dozen pro fights, and yes, he was the first man to defeat Roy Jones. But he never had anything easy. He had to sue to force his way onto the Barcelona 1992 Olympic team, and even then was hard done by by the judges when he exited the tournament. Things didn't get easier, with controversial points losses, losing to fighters who later tested positive for PEDs and much more besides. But he retains his love the sport. Despite a resigned cynicism, he coaches fighters today and in his spare time works as a stand up comedian! In his words, if he didn't laugh, he'd cry. He also has a new book out, visit www.theicelifebook.com for more details and to purchase.

Matchmaker Eric Bottjer has worked for a who's who of promoters, including Dan Goosen, Lou DiBella, Don King and Matchroom, but he's not a man who has seen things just at the highest level, but at fight club level, too. Eric is a boxing historian and was influenced by the late Johnny Bos and Bottjer's helped in the careers of the likes of Evander Holyfield, Felix Trinidad, James Toney and he also made the 2001 Fight of the Year between Micky Ward and Emanuel Burton (Augustus). Here, Bottjer talks about the roles of being a matchmaker, and how it took him into the ring against one of his own fighters, working with some of the biggest names in boxing and the state of the game today.

Bronco McKart is a former professional boxer who competed from 1992 to 2014 and held the WBO light middleweight title in 1996. McKart is best known for his trilogy of fights against Winky Wright.Nicknamed "Superman", McKart turned pro in 1992 and in 1996 captured the WBO Light Middleweight Title by beating Santos Cardona by TKO. He lost the title in his first defense to Winky Wright. In 2000, he would have the opportunity to avenge the loss, taking on Wright in an eliminator for IBF Light Middleweight Title. Wright won a dominant decision. In 2002 the two re-matched again, this time for Wright's IBF Light Middleweight Title. McKart was disqualified after trailing severely in the fight. In 2004 he took on WBA Light Middleweight Title holder Travis Simms, but lost a decision. In 2006 he was knocked out by the then undefeated prospect Kelly Pavlik. He fought Anthony Mundine at Palms Casino Resort on 14 July 2012. McKart retired in 2014.Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronco_McKart
