Episode Details

It's a bonus podcast this week, as host T.J. Rives is joined by David Payne "The Boxing Writer" in Yorkshire, England for more recap of the weekend action. This includes David's thoughts on the Luis Alberto Lopez KO of Michael Conlan for his IBF featherweight division crown. Plus, the guys discuss Leigh Wood getting revenge over WBA 126 lb. champ Mauricio Lara in a 12 round decision. What does David think of the prospect of Wood fighting in the legendary "City Ground" Soccer Stadium in his home Nottingham Forest?Also, the Chris Billam-Smith upset decision win for the WBO cruiserweight championship over Lawrence Okolie Saturday night is of interest, as well. Does David believe that it was more about Billiam-Smith winning or Okolie underachieving that night?Then, the guys turn to the boxing movie debate and whether David agrees with our Dan Rafael that "Rocky III" is the best of the series or not? And, they go over other boxing movies in history and where they should rank?It's all on a special "Fight Freaks Unite" bonus pod off the Big Fight Weekend Podcast feed and make sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, etc.
