In this episode, I breakdown all the major fights starting with the Prime Video Pay-Per-View between Isaac Cruz vs Lamont Roach Jr. The bout promoted by Premier Boxing Champions is one of the more notable cards to end the year. We will also breakdown other bouts on such as a junior lightweight bout between champion O'Shaquie Foster vs. Stephen Fulton and a middleweight unification bout between Janibek Alimkhanuly vs. Erislandy Lara. Also, my thoughts on Shabaz Masoud vs Peter McGrail, and Jai Opetaia making a a cruiserweight title defense against Huseyin Cinkara
In this episode, Lukie and Dakota break down the week's action. We begin with a ProBox TV card with lightweight Charlie Sheehy shining on the prelims. We also talk about Karlos Balderas as well as Justin Pauldo's comeback knockout win over Nike Theran. Adelaida Ruiz became a world champion by defeating Alexas Kubicki. Erik Badillo could be headed toward a title shot with his junior flyweight win over Elwin Soto. Also, is Cristian Cruz the next “Venado” Lopez? We will talk about his draw against Muhammad Yaqubov.Also, Frazer Clarke suffered a shocking upset loss to Jamie TKV. Francesca Hennessy, a women's bantamweight, also got a win on the card. Ben Whittaker got a first-round knockout over Benjamin Gavazi. Whittaker is a 2020 Olympic silver medalist who has star potential. This was his first fight with Matchroom Boxing. Notable undercard action, Cameron Vuong and Gavin Gwynne fought to a draw. They will probably have a trilogy before it is all said and done. Middleweight Tom Cowling upset Aaron Bowen, and Jimuel Pacquiao's pro debut against Brendan Lally was scored as a draw. The big fight this week is Lamont Roach Jnr taking on Isaac Cruz. We talk about all the scenarios that we see. Also on the undercard a middleweight unification bout between Erislandy Lara vs. Janibek Alimkhanuly, a 130lbs title fight between O'Shaquie Foster and Stephen Fulton Jr. The pay-per-view card starts with Jesus Ramos Jr taking on Shane Mosley Jr. Undercard bouts of note, Frank Martin will face Rances Barthelemy, Luis Nunez will return to action, so will Isaac Lucero, Elijah Garcia, Jordan Roach and Robert Guerrero Jr. Also “our guy” Jai Opetaia will face Huseyin Cinkara. Opetaia being ducked? We discuss.In the U.K., Shabaz Masoud will face Peter McGrail in a solid bout. A sneaky great fight will pit IBF women's lightweight titleholder Beatriz Ferreira against Elif Turhan.

If an adult film cleaning up at the Oscars with five Academy Awards isn't evidence of our debauched, fallen culture, nothing is.
