It was a less than thrilling night for heavyweight Jared Anderson's main event win for Top Rank Boxing in Texas, there was a much more entertaining British junior lightweight main event for Matchroom Boxing and we're ready to discuss those fights and more on the "Fight Freaks Unite Recap Podcast."
Host T.J. Rives returns with insider Dan Rafael of his Fight Freaks Unite Substack and BigFightWeekend.com to go over it all.
They talk the Top Rank show including the reasons the Anderson fight was a dull snoozefest. They also disucss the much more entertaining Efe Ajagba heavyweight battle with Guido Vianello in the co-feature. And, T.J. asks again what's wrong wtih having Anderson fight Ajagba, soon?
Then, they talk the Zelfa Barret TKO win over a valiant Jordan Gill to close the Matchroom show in Manchester, England. Is Barreett a legit player at 130 lb. for a title shot? How tough was Gill when many others would have quit in the 10th on the body shot knockdowns? The guys go over it all.
There's news on former flyweight champ, England's Sunny Edwards and his next bout coming this summer. And, what about the Golden Boy undercard coming together for April 27th in Fresno, CA for the Ramirez/Barthelemy main event?
Finally, the guys turn to some nostalgi, including a Bernard Hopkins on a middleweight title anniversary, and of course, we have to talk Hagler-Hearns for the near 40th anniversary of that one!
