Punch 2 The Face Radio

After six years and over 300 shows, my run is over. I'll talk the highs and lows of podcasting over this time and give out some pointers for those thinking about doing a show themselves. But will also share some closing thoughts on the current state of boxing anfd how it played apart in me deciding to leave the show. It's been a ride and I truly thank everyone who's been on this journey with me.

One last ride, Adam Abramowitz from SaturdayNightBoxing.com will join us. We’ll be talking Crawford debut on BLK Prime, Teo tough test against Martin and Inoue unification next week. In our six years we’ve seen a lot in boxing in doing the show.

Another slow week of action last week and ahead for this one, but nevertheless we’re here to talk. Janibek Alimkhanuly failed to create a buzz in his close win over Bentley. So its safe to stop the “boogey man” talk in the division? Jaime Munguia has yet another fight against nondescript opponent. Should we continue to care about Jaime? And who’s more to blame, him or Golden Boy for his current lackluster stretch of fights?

So Dmitry Bivol dominated Gilberto Ramirez, is he now the clear cut #1at 175? Does a Canelo rematch look even lesser attractive?

WFT is a “BLK Prime”? Well I guess Terence Crawford and Adrien Broner will help us figure it out.

Vasiliy Lomachenko is set to return to the ring this weekend vs. Jamaine Ortiz. A lot of eyes will be watching Loma, as protentional opponents will be ringside viewing. Is there anyway Ortiz can pull the upset and ruin a lot people’s plan for 2023? Also on tap Fury has an...

Repeats, Beatdowns and Upset occurred last weekend. So after beating Kambosos again, does Devin Haney move up or face Lomachenko? It took Deontay Wilder less than 3 minute to take out Robert Helenius, but does really means he’s “back”? Alycia Baumgardner upset Mikaela Mayer, should these ladies run it back?

Boxing returns this weekend with a pretty decent set of fights. Sebastian Fundora will look to continue off of his “fight of the year candidate” outing in April. He’ll face Carlos Ocampo in Cali on a card his sister will be featured on as well. In the UK son’s of former champs will face off in a fight none of us asked for. Conor Benn will move up in weight, while Chris Eubank will come down as fight in catch-weight bout that’s a pure money grab.
