Send us Fan MailBoxing doesn't change because fans argue online, it changes when the business forces fighters to pick a direction. We start with Devin Haney facing a real crossroads: negotiate the WBO mandatory with Keyshawn Davis, risk a purse bid, or vacate and chase a bigger moment. We talk through what each option signals, why timing matters, and why a “dangerous fight” isn't always the same as a “sellable fight.” Then we get into the matchup boxing fans keep demanding: Haney vs Shakur Stevenson at 144. We break down the style clash, the weight talk, and the core question of how rounds get won when both guys are elite technicians. We also address what Shakur has shown lately on the front foot, why his accuracy changes the scoring optics, and what the Ryan Garcia fight did to the public conversation around Haney's defense and durability. From there, it's the big headline: Shakur Stevenson signing with Zuffa Boxing. We dig into what “what's next” really means, how Saudi funding and platform alignment can make cross-promotional fights easier, and why belts might become optional when the bag is massive. We close with the wild side of the sport: Teofimo Lopez vs Rolly Romero, Tank Davis' next move and star power, Floyd Mayweather headlines, and the Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn twist that puts Zuffa right back in the title picture.

In this episode, Lukie and Dakota start with the news. Four-division titleholder Shakur Stevenson signed with Zuffa Boxing. With rumors that Oleksandr Usyk and Devin Haney may sign with Zuffa, is the takeover imminent? What are the guys' thoughts on this? Then, we shift to PBC announcing a deal with DAZN, which would have seemed unheard of before this year. Is this a direct response to Zuffa Boxing? They announced a few fights (without official fight dates), but in August WBA welterweight champ Rolando Romero will face Teofimo Lopez. The guys give early thoughts on this fight.The guys recap a very light week of boxing. Murat Gassiev stopped late-sub Peter Kadiru in six rounds. Kadiru filled in for Gassiev's original opponent, 2016 French Olympic gold medalist Tony Yoka, but was outgunned. Also, Artem Suslenkov stopped former contender Joe Joyce in what should be Joyce's last pro fight. The ending was very sad. Then, we look ahead. Another light week of boxing.Super middleweight Diego Pacheco faces Immanuwel Aleem. It is a DAZN main event bout, and the return of boxing to the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. Lightweight Andy Cruz will face Abraham Montoya, after his original opponent, Albert Bell, fought Abdullah Mason on short notice earlier this month. Middleweight Frank Espinoza and lightweight Sammy Contreras Jr are notable prospects to watch, but a good 50-50 fight to watch for is Saul Sanchez vs. unbeaten Bruno Rios. Heavyweight Leo Atang is someone I keep wondering just how good he is, too. In the U.K., welterweight Harlem Eubank is in tough against David Papot, and on ProBox TV an assortment of fights including Bryan Flores vs. Jonathan Navarro, junior middleweight Kevin Anton vs. Vladimir Hernandez, and Charly Suarez vs. Manuel "Tino" Avila.Timestamps:0:00 Shakur to Zuffa Boxing12:03 PBC to DAZN20:55 Teofimo Lopez vs Rolando Romero29:30 Joe Joyce, Murat Gassiev40:00 Diego Pacheco returns46:40 undercard56:37 Other stuff

Send us Fan MailSkipping a week sounds harmless until you come back and realize boxing never stops moving. We kick things off with a real-life reset: California's laid-back vibe, the gut punch of seeing Skid Row up close, and a Tennessee detour that somehow ends with us getting humbled by “hot chicken” we had no business challenging. Then we do what we came to do and start catching up fast.From there, we dig into Sebastian Fundora vs Keith Thurman for the WBC super welterweight belt, why Thurman looked like a guy fighting uphill from round one, and what inactivity does to timing and legs when you're no longer the young version of yourself. We talk matchups at 154, who actually has the style to trouble Fundora, and why the division feels alive again when the right fights get made.Heavyweights get their shine too. We lay out why Moses Itauma is starting to feel like must-see TV, plus the kind of opponents we want next if promoters are serious about building a star. We also preview Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov, debate the danger of heavyweight power, and break down Regis Prograis vs Conor Benn at 150, including why the weight-class confusion matters for fans trying to track careers.We also touch the week's biggest headlines, including the Tank conversation and what repeated controversy does to a fighter's public trust, then end with future-fight chatter like Teofimo Lopez vs Ryan Garcia at 147. If you're into honest fight talk, smart matchup debates, and the occasional chaos around the edges, hit play, subscribe, share this with a boxing friend, and leave us a review with your picks for the next big upset.THE SPAR-INN ON YOUTUBE

Billy C gives his post fight Stevenson-Lopez thoughts, plus updates us on the latest boxing news, including Floyd Mayweather claims of being owed over 300 million dollars, fight results from the weekend and breakdowns and predictions on the World Title Fight scheduled for this weekend between Nick Ball and Brandon Figueroa. This week's scheduled guest is undefeated Welterweight prospect, Victor Reynoso.
It's very hard if not impossible to to fight someone you've looked up to for a long time and Teofimo Lopez faced that challenge against Stevenson. He had to fight someone he knew was more skilled more experienced and an all-round better fighter. The sad part about it is he did nothing different to what he would've done had he fought anybody else a mistake that Stevenson prayed upon and that mistake made the fight very easy for Stevenson. People will now think less of Teofimo, but he remains a good fighter. It is just in the big moments, he's not able to maximise his talent and that's something he has to address.

In this episode, Lukie is joined by his dear friend Stacks, Anthony Saldaña, a podcast host and contributor to Supreme Boxing. We start with our thoughts on Zuffa Boxing. 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.
