How could I not devote a huge chunk of my waking hours this week to producing a near three-hour podcast all about one fight?!  How could I not enlist some heavy hitters to talk about the biggest fight we will see all year?Well luckily for you, I did, as Rob Tebbutt of Boxing News and the boys from the Heavy Hands podcast helped me out trying to figure out just h

And that's exactly what I had, when Max Holloway did THAT at UFC 300!

It seems that we all got the news we were hoping for this past week when Tyson Fury versus. Oleksandr Usyk for ALL the marbles of heavyweight boxing was apparently signed and sealed. But what needs to happen before it gets delivered? My thoughts on how much we can take from this apparent GREAT news in this episode, and if you want to hear my thoughts about everything else that happ

After a shaky fight week and a late-notice catch-weight agreement, we finally got to see Rodtang and Superlek face off in a ONE Championship ring and the fight absolutely delivered!
