What is next for both? Seems like a role reversal in a year and a half. We round out the card talking about Issac Cruz, Brandon Figueroa-Joet Gonzalez, and Gary Russell Jr.Then, Oleksandr Usyk. We get into a debate that might make historians mad. We think Usyk ranks amongst the greats like Ali and Louis? Do you? This weekend, he stopped Daniel Dubois again.Dakota will sum up the undercard. Finally, we recap Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez's win over Phumelele Cafu. Rodriguez is becoming one of the best fighters in the sport. Our thoughts. Plus, Diego Pacheco defeats Trevor McCumby. What did we think? Then, this week's preview. Thursday Golden Boy will have a card on DAZN and their YouTube page, headlined by Manuel Flores vs. Jorge Chavez, which is a solid bout for hardcore fight fans. OTX Boxing has a card on Friday, we briefly go over. Then on Saturday, the good stuff.On ESPN, Xander Zayas will face Jorge Garcia Perez for the vacant WBO junior middleweight title. Other good bouts on this card include the return of Bruce Carrington, Rohan Polanco against tough veteran Quinton Randall, Yan Santana taking on Aaron Alameda, and Steven Navarro facing Cristopher Rios, who just upset Daniel "Chucky" Barrera. On DAZN, Claressa Shields will face Lani Daniels in a women's heavyweight undisputed bout, Tony Harrison, who recently signed with Salita Promotions, will make his middleweight debut, plus Samantha Worthington vs. Victoire Piteau, a heavyweight up-and-comer who Dakota recently filmed with Pryce Taylor, and Caroline Veyre, who Lukie is high on.Timestamps0:00 intro2:00 Pacquiao-Barrios13:30 Fundora-Tsyzu II21:00 undecard26:10 Usyk, ATG36:30 undercard38:00 Bam Rodriguez41:10 Undercard46:00 golden boy & otx50:30 Xander Zayas returns52:30 undercard54:20 Claressa Shields-Lani Daniels01:00:00 undercard

We kick off the show with US Open updates from our resident golfer Leroy, followed by a visit from Xander Zayas, who shares insights on his upcoming WBO Super Welterweight Title fight. Tobin admits he's officially bored with Summer League and questions how much more Sky Force he can take, while the crew dives into the Coldplay concert controversy. In Hour Tua, it's all about the Dolphins—can they contend for the AFC East, or are they stuck at third best? We also check in on the Heat's Summer League, the Marlins, and upcoming boxing to see if anything can tickle Leroy's fancy. In Hour 3, we continue US Open coverage from Ireland, talk Marlins baseball as they return from the All-Star break, and debate whether Florida Panthers-branded wine at Publix is worth the price. Finally, in Hour 4, things get spicy as Tobin and Leroy make their Hard Rock Picks for this weekend's UFC and boxing fights, then hilarity erupts when Tobin unintentionally offends Leroy while asking what people from Louisiana are called.
