Eddie Hearn is in no mood to hold back!

In this episode, Dakota and Lukie talk about Jaron "Boots" Ennis' first-round knockout over Uisma Lima. How good is Ennis? We discuss in the lead. Also, Keith Thurman and Sebastian Fundora will no longer fight at he end of October.Then, heavyweight Guido Vianello knocked out Alexis Barriere, with thoughts on Tahmir Smalls' win over Jose Roman and Dennis Thompson's close fight with Sean Diaz. Prospect alert on the undercard, watch Giorgio Visioli. He is good, and Naheem Parker beat unbeaten Justin Palmieri. Earlier in the day, Arslanbek Makhmudov revived his career by defeating Dave Allen in an action fight in the U.K. We also talked about Bilal Fawaz defeating Junaid Bostan in their rematch. Plus, we discuss Josh Padley's win over Reece Bellotti. A brief conversation about Red Owl Boxing's very fun card, but also a very late card on Friday Night. Friday we have a solid domestic British card promoted by Matchroom Boxing. The main event is a crossroads middleweight bout between Kieron Conway vs. George Liddard, which will show the trajectory of Liddard's potential. Other notables featured on this card are  Jimmy Sains,  Leli Buttigieg, and Taylor Bevan. A fight I think could be good is Shannon Ryan versus Chloe Watson, which is an evenly matched bout. On Saturday, Danny Garcia will fight for the final time in his career against Daniel Gonzalez. The bout will take place on Millions.co. Supporting bouts are Nahir Albright taking on former champion Richard Commey, Damian Knyba facing Philly veteran Joey Dawejko, the return of Chris Colbert, and possilby the most interesting fight on the card Gabriel Rosado vs. Vaughn Alexander.Saturday on DAZN in Texas, WBC junior flyweight champion Lourdes Juarez will face women's boxing modern legend Yesica Nery Plata in the main event. The co-feature will see a crossroads battle between local favorite Omar Juarez and Omar Rosario. Both were viewed as prospects. Now they both have two losses. Unified women's middleweight Desley Robinson will face Logan Holler, and former titleholder Shurretta Metcalf will face undefeated Krystal Rosado, who is managed by Amanda Serrano. In Long Beach, one of my favorite prospects in boxing, Albert Gonzalez, will face veteran Leonardo Baez in the main event. Timestamps0:00 Jaron Ennis-Uisma Lima9:41 Guido Vianello15:25 Sebastian Fundora-Keith Thurman19:16 Golovkin, a Hall-of-Fame24:40 Matchroom undercard32:33 Arslanbek Makhmudov-Dave Allen38:31 U.K. undercard40:50 Kieron Conway-George Liddard47:30 Danny Garcia53:00 Diego Pacheco's return52:45 MVP card on Saturday

Finally some decent action in the ring this weekend in both Philly and England and we're ready to go over it and the news and more on the newest "Big Fight Weekend Preview" Podcast.Host T.J. Rives and insider Dan Rafael are back aboard to go over it all.They start with the preview of Saturday's Matchroom Boxing/DAZN card in PhiladelphiaJaron “Boots” Ennis vs. Uisma Lima, 12 rounds, for vacant WBA interim junior middleweight title. Boots has moved up but the opponent is...questionable, to be kind. We discuss.And, the co feature has Alexis Barriere vs. Guido Vianello, 10 rounds, heavyweights. Anything of note here? Next, a preview of the Saturday Matchroom Boxing/DAZN main event in Sheffield, EnglandDavid Allen vs. Arslanbek Makhmudov, 12 rounds, heavyweight main event. Allen is a popular fighter who's come out of retirement a couple of times and Makhmudov either KOs or gets Kay-oed. So, stay tuned.Then, the News:Arturo Gatti Jr., the 17 year old son of the legend and rising amateur fighter, allegedly commits suicide in Mexico this week. However, there should be questions asked, as his mother and Gatti Sr.'s widow is involved again just like the death investigation into the father's death in Brazil 16 years ago that is still shrouded in controversy. Dan has tremendous insight on this and T.J. is, let's just say, not buying the intial reports of a "suicide" for the younger Gatti, too.Next the Issac "Pitbul" Cruzl- Lamont Roach bout had a  kick off news conference on Wednesday in San Antonio, TX ahead of their December 6 PBC Prime Video PPV. We have more.IBF lightweight titlist Raymond Muratalla and mandatory challenger Andy Cruz have the mandatory ordered. Cruz's team at Matchroom didn't want to negotiate and asked for immediate purse bid, which the IBF set for Oct. 16. What's it all mean and when will they likely fight?And, Light heavyweight prospect Ben Whittaker, the polarizing, brash and tremendously talented 2020 British Olympic silver medalist, has signed “a long-term” promotional contract with Matchroom Boxing, the company announced on Monday. Will he start fighting, as much as showboating and talking about it? Stay tuned.Finally, NostalgiaOct. 8, 2005 – 20 years ago on Wednesday – Jose Luis Castillo, who missed weight by 3.5 lbs, was stripped of 135 title & whose team member was suspended for scale tampering, KO'd Diego Corrales in round 4 of a shootout in the rematch of their legendary first fight five months earlier.

What else stood out from the card? Now that PFL has officially started promoting Francis Ngannou vs. Renan Ferreira, what do the guys think about this fight? Tom Aspinall is going as close to scorched earth as he can when it comes to Jon Jones. Will this work in getting Jones to fight him (assuming he beats Stipe Miocic)? Why is Dana White so curiously in the tank for a fighter he's routinely been at odds with? Shakur Stevenson has signed a two-fight deal with Matchroom Boxing and has his first fight on the card in Saudi Arabia in October.
