Lukie praises Julian Rodriguez, Omar Trinidad, Robert Meriwether, and Troy Nash Jr, while they talk about the good and bad of the first event. This is followed by a conversation around Raymond Muratalla defeating Andy Cruz to retain his IBF lightweight title. How big was the win, and what kind of statement did Muratalla make? We briefly touch on the undercard, Khalil Coe missed weight and won a sleepy and debatable decision over Jesse Hart. Also, 2024 U.S. Olympic bronze medalist Omari Jones had a good showing. Then, this week...We have two big cards.Shakur Stevenson will face the WBO junior welterweight titleholder Teofimo Lopez. What are the stories at play for this fight, and is the snowstorm going to be a hidden story of this fight card? Other notable fights on this pay-per-view are: the junior welterweight debut of Keyshawn Davis against Jamaine Ortiz, WBC middleweight champ Carlos Adames versus Austin "Ammo" Williams and Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller facing Kingsley Ibeh. On Top Rank Classics FAST channels, WBO junior middleweight Xander Zayas will face the WBA titleholder Abass Baraou in a unification bout in Puerto Rico. How will Zayas look in his homecoming bout in Puerto Rico? Is Baraou underrated or overrated after his Yoenis Tellez win? Undercard notables are the 154lbs debut of Giovani Santillan and welterweight Rohan Polanco. Zuffa Boxing will return on Sunday. The card will feature Jose "Rayo" Valenzuela versus Diego Torres, Serhii Bohachuk vs Radzhab Butaev, and a light heavyweight contender bout between Oleksandr Gvozdyk vs. Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic. 0:00 Intro meet Zack1:00 Zuffa Boxing14:30 Jai Opetaia 18:08 Raymond Muratalla 26:20 Undercard35:00 Shakur-Teofimo41:00 undercard49:50 Xander Zayas-Abass Baraou55:00 Zuffa Boxing 02
This episode dives deep into one of boxing's most fascinating hypothetical matchups: Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson. Power and swagger versus precision and control — we break down how the styles clash, where the fight is won and lost, and what each man would need to do to impose his game over 12 rounds. We also turn our attention to the supporting action, starting with Carlos Adames vs Austin Williams, a middleweight matchup with real implications. Is Adames' pressure and strength enough to overwhelm, or can Williams' athleticism and timing make the statement win he's been chasing? Finally, we assess Josh Kelly vs Bakhram Murtazaliev, looking at what this fight tells us about Kelly's ceiling and whether Murtazaliev's physicality poses the kind of test that answers lingering questions.
