In this episode, we recap an amazing fight between Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez. We get both of the guys takes as well as thoughts on Lester Martinez, Christian Mbilli, and Brandon Adams-Serhii Bohachuk. Also, what to make of Callum Walsh, who defeated Fernando Vargas Jr, and what did Dakota think of the overall television product?Also, Naoya Inoue defeats Murodjon Akhmadaliev. The bout streamed on Facebook, which I am not mad at because that means it was free. Inoue continues to impress.This is followed by a general recap of all things boxing this week. Lewis Crocker fights like Adonis Stevenson to win a split decision over Paddy Donovan. Caoimhin Agyarko won a narrow split decision over Ishmael Davis on that card. On Thursday, WBO flyweight champion Anthony Olascuaga stopped Juan Carlos Camacho. Also, Jalil Hackett was a stand-out, getting a stoppage, while up-and-comer Justin Viloria had a hard night, and Jamar Talley is still an interesting prospect. On Wednesday, we had a card which had the fewest fan favor. Mikie Tallon stood-out when he dropped Christian Robles twice en route to a decision victory. Bek Nurmaganbet stopped Steven Stumper in three rounds, Cuban heavyweight Yoandy Toirac was lucky to get a draw with Skylar Lacy as well. This week, on Thursday, former titleholder Liam Paro returns to Australia. He is in an IBF welterweight eliminator against David Papot. He would be the mandatory for Lewis Crocker. Salita Promotions returns on DAZN with a good card at the top as, Brandon Moore faces DeAndre Savage in a 10-round heavyweight main event, and Olivia Curry vs. Kaye Scott fight for a vacant women's middleweight title. Middleweight Da'velle Smith will also be featured on this card. On Saturday, Golden Boy Promotions returns with a doubleheader. Unified 105lbs champion Oscar Collazo will face Jayson Vayson, and Gabriela Fundora will put her undisputed flyweight champion titles on the line against late-sub Alexas Kubicki. Also featured are junior welterweight Ruslan Abdullaev, welterweight Joel Iriarte, and junior middleweight Grant Flores. On DAZN, OTX Boxing returns with junior welterweight Breyon Gorham as the feature bout, and WBC women's featherweight champ Tiara Brown making her first title defense.

This is the week!The biggest fight week of the year (probably). Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford face off on Saturday, live on Netflix. Crawford will look to become a three-division undisputed champion, while Canelo looks to further his legendary run. Dakota and the Big Dog talk about all the facts you should know about this fight. The undercard will feature Callum Walsh vs Fernando Vargas Jr, Christian Mbilli vs Lester Martinez. Prelims that you should be aware of are Serhii Bohachuk-Brandon Adams II, Steven Nelson-Raiko Santana, and Jermaine Franklin-Ivan Dychko. Also, we talk about Wednesday's fight card filled with talent I am not very familiar with. Match-ups that stand out to me are: flyweight Mikie Tallon versus Christian Robles, Cuban heavyweight Yoandy Toirac vs. Skylar Lacy, and super middleweight Bek Nurmaganbet vs. Steven Stumper. Stumper dropped Najee Lopez in a developmental fight. On Thursday, WBO flyweight champion Anthony Olascuaga faces Juan Carlos Camacho in the main event. Justin Viloria, Jalil Hackett, and Jamar Talley are notables on this card. Then at the end, we talk about the result of the week, which includes: Osleys Iglesias stopping Vladimir Shishkin to become the IBF interim super middleweight titleholder. Dakota rants about how available the fight was. Eduardo Nunez defeats Christopher "Pitufo" Diaz in a fringe fight-of-the-year bout. We reflect on this. Pat McCormack won an unexciting bout, Troy Williamson upset Mark Dickinson after Dickinson missed weight by a lot, and Sandy Ryan returned to the win column. Also, Oscar Valdez won a hard-fought decision over Richard Medina.0:00 Canelo-Crawford12:50 Callum Walsh-Fernando Vargas Jr17:30 Lester Martinez-Christian Mbilli24:00 Brandon Adams-Serhii Bohachuk II27:00 Ivan Dychko vs. Jermaine Franklin30:30 Wednesday and Thursday fight cards 32:30 Paddy Donovan-Lewis Crocker II36:00 Pat McCormack38:00 Sandy Ryan42:57 ProBox TV53:00 Osleys Iglesias-Vladimir Shishkin57:05 Eduardo Nunez-Christopher Diaz
