The guys are back this episode breaking down the entire Ring IV card and one of the busiest weeks in boxing. We start with Devin Haney’s masterclass over Brian Norman Jr, a dominant performance with a second-round knockdown, complete control, and still somehow labeled “boring.” Eddie Hearn said the fight lacked excitement, and Andre Ward called the 114–113 scorecard “egregious.” We talk about how a fighter can dominate and still be seen as underperforming.
We move to Abdullah Mason vs Sam Noakes and how Mason dug deep to grind out a tough win. Then we review Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez vs Fernando “Puma” Martinez and discuss whether Bam is now top two or three on the pound-for-pound list.
Next, we break down David Benavidez vs Anthony Yarde. Benavidez handled business at 175, but immediately announced he’s moving up to cruiserweight for a potential fight with Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramírez. We discuss the risks of skipping the entire light heavyweight division, whether he’s missing big fights, and if Zurdo is avoiding Jai Opetaia by choosing Benavidez instead.
Ryan Garcia also announced his fight with Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title. We talk about what that means for his future, what it sets up at 147, and how many title chances he’s already had.
And then Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua gets announced… one of the wildest matchups in boxing. We react to what this means for AJ’s mindset, legacy, and where he truly is in his career.
We close with Canelo’s interview on TV Azteca, where he said he plans to come back and rematch Terence Crawford. We break down why he wants that fight again and whether it’s the right move given all the other options he had.
