Beskrivelse

Dan Canobbio and Chris Algieri open the show breaking down the upcoming unification bout between Xander Zayas and Jaron 'Boots' Ennis. Is this too much too soon for the 23-year-old Zayas? Will this be Ennis’ defining moment so far in his career? Plus, the X’s and O’s between two fighters with two distinct styles (02:23). Joe Cordina has visa issues and is out of his title fight vs. Abdullah Mason next week. Stepping in is the veteran Albert Bell, who was scheduled to fight Andy Cruz on July 18. Could this be a tougher fight for Mason, as Bell presents a totally different style and dynamic (52:44) Reports state that Teofimo Lopez and Rolly Romero have “verbally agreed” to a fight this summer, where Romero would put his WBA welterweight title on the line (54:25). Finally, they discuss Liam Paro’s big win over Lewis Crocker to capture the IBF welterweight title (57:12).
