Travis Hartman and Dave break down the biggest stories in boxing right now, starting with Ryan Garcia’s statement win over Conor Benn and what could be next for him. Teofimo Lopez? Devin Haney? And has Garcia quietly become one of the biggest stars in boxing? The conversation turns to Terence Crawford and the mystery opponent that could potentially bring him back, including some wild possibilities involving Conor McGregor and Canelo Alvarez. Then we get into Dana White and Zuffa Boxing. Is Zuffa actually fixing some of boxing’s biggest problems — or simply rebuilding the UFC model inside boxing?
