Welcome to “Paywall Podcast”.

I was going to put this behind a paywall, but after some thought, we have too many of those in boxing. Instead, it is free.

What is it?

My final thoughts on a “big fight” after the weigh-in that will help you get excited for the fight.

This week, I tackle Xander Zayas versus Jaron “Boots” Ennis. Is Zayas too big? Did he have trouble making weight? Does ‘Boots’ get hit too much? Is ‘Boots’ arrogant? Plus thoughts on Emiliano Vargas, Ben Whittaker, and Jahi Tucker versus Euri Cedeno.

In this podcast, Lukie is joined by his friend @ShoeShineBoxing (Dave) as they talk about who can be the next face of boxing. 



The topics discussed are as follows: Liam Paro winning the IBF welterweight title over Lewis Crocker, and updates on Floyd Mayweather's ongoing issues 


Plus previews of Xander Zayas vs. Jaron "Boots" Ennis, Emiliano Vargas vs. Bryce Mills, Edwin De Los Santos vs. Jose Valenzuela II, Cain Sandoval vs. Brandun Lee, and Tony Hirsch vs Jaybrio Pe Benito.

In this video, Lukie and Dakota talk about the junior middleweight unification bout between the beltholder Xander Zayas and Jaron "Boots" Ennis. What are the stories, x-factors, and excitement for this pay-per-view card? 

Speaking of the card, we also talk about the undercard, including junior welterweight Emiliano Vargas versus Bryce Mills, middleweight Jahi Tucker vs. Euri Cedeno, and Ben Whittaker vs. Richie Rivera.

Also, Lewis Crocker will put his IBF welterweight title on the line against  Liam Paro, and Lukie's favorite heavyweight, "Deep Waters" Big Nasty Nelson Asofa-Solomona, will be in a four-round fight.

We briefly recap Oscar Collazo's win over Neider Valdez. Is Collazo this generation's 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez? Could he be Puerto Rico's best fighter? The undercard underwhelmed, but Ruslan Abdullaev didn't. He stopped Orestes Velazquez.

Then, we talk about Ashton Sylve, who won a unanimous decision over Joseph Diaz Jr.  It wasn't great. David Lopez looked strong, and Amir Anderson was solid. Also, Devin Cushing beat J'Hon Ingram.

Dakota watched 130-lb. Ryan Garner's win in the U.K., and talks briefly about that card.

Moses Itauma will fight Filip Hrgovic later this year, Floyd Mayweather has mounting legal issues, and Jermall Charlo & Stephen Fulton are added to Errol Spence Jr vs. Tim Tszyu undercard. 

Gervonta Davis vs. Floyd Schofield appears unlikely per Oscar De La Hoya, Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn confusion, and Vergil Ortiz's return?

In this video, this video Dave ( ⁨@ShoeShineBoxing⁩ ) joins the show to talk about Floyd Mayweather and if the recent news reported by TMZ Sports will start to change the legacy of the Hall of Fame boxer. Could Terence Crawford surpass him? Also, we talk about Xander Zayas vs. Jaron "Boots" Ennis, which is the fight of the summer. We give some early thoughts and quick previews of Oscar Collazo's fight as well as Ashton Sylve vs. Joseph Diaz Jr.

Lukie does a follow up podcast with Dakota still away working with The Good Fight’s (Jason Langendorf – link to site) with Lilliana Ulloa Santos. Santos was live at Bam Rodriguez’s win over Antonio Vargas and shares insight on the fight, also thoughts on Elif Nur Turhan defending her title against Gabirela Tellez (and why Tellez imrpessed Lily), thoughts on Friday’s fight between Ashton Sylve-Joseph Diaz Jr, and Oscar Collazo’s upcoming fight.

In this video, Lukie does a solo podcast talking about Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez's win over Antonio Vargas. The question now becomes how many weight classes can "Bam" continue to move up? Also, will his style need to evolve moving up in weight? 

Plus, Lukie talks about Arturo Cardenas' win over Jordan Martinez and Elif Nur Turhan defeating Gabriela Tellez. Then, we switch gears to the Most Valuable Promotions show, in which women's junior middleweight beltholder Oshae Jones fought Elia Carranza to a draw. The bout was a rematch. In the co-feature, WBC featherweight champ Tiara Brown defeated Hannah Rapp. The real story was Nataly Delgado becoming the WBA junior bantamweight titleholder, defeating Jasmine Artiga, and in a true shocker, Estefany Alegria becoming the unified junior flyweight beltholder, defeating Evelin Nazarena Bermudez. 

Also, Lukie reacts to Abraham Perez defeating Jonathan "La Bomba" Gonzalez for the interim WBA flyweight title, and he previews Ashton Sylve vs. Joseph Diaz Jr (and calls it the fight of the week), while giving caution to Oscar Collazo vs Joey Canoy, Saturday on DAZN, as the great unknown.

In this podcast, Dave is inspired by a story written by Lance Pugmire of BoxingScene last year (https://www.boxingscene.com/articles/the-bam-rodriguez-manny-pacquiao-parallels-arent-hard-to-see). Dave (check out his channel @ShoeShineBoxing ) and Lukie talk about whether that can come to fruition, while also discussing what the future holds for Rodriguez.

The guys start by talking about a potential Shakur Stevenson-Devin Haney rumored bout. Then, they talk about Chris Billam-Smith versus Ryan Rozicki, which is by far Zuffa Boxing’s best fight to date. The guys are split on opinions around Zuffa, and we talk about roughly six months into the new boxing entities’ rise in the sport. 

We also talk about light heavyweight Albert Ramirez’s split decision over Lerrone Richards, and a bit on junior lightweight Josh Padley’s win over Aqib Fiaz, which was a decent domestic match. IBF flyweight titleholder Masamichi Yabuki defeated Rene Calixto. Is Yabuki the forgotten pound-for-pound level talent? Andrew Moloney defeated Willibaldo Garcia Perez to win the IBF junior bantamweight title. Also, Michael Angeletti defeated Kenneth Llover in a bantamweight bout with title implications, and in “the bad boy bout,” John Riel Casimero stopped Luis Nery in four rounds. 

Then, we switch gears to history – Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez looks to further his legacy as he aims to be a three-division world champion, as he faces WBA bantamweight champion, Antonio Vargas. Rodriguez is currently No.3 on Lukie’s pound-for-pound list, and even higher on others. A win here puts him in the running for a potential chance to become undisputed against Moloney, or even a mega-fight against Naoya Inoue. Also, on the card, women’s IBF lightweight champ Elif Nur Turhan will face Gabriela Tellez, and Arturo Cardenas will rematch Jordan Martinez in a junior featherweight bout. 

Other bouts of note, Sunday Salita Promotions returns with Jonathan “Bomba” Gonzalez vs. Abraham Perez. It is a good bout, with Brandon Moore, Joshua Pagan, and others featured on the DAZN broadcast. 

Another MVP card will take place with Oshae Jones rematching Elia Carranza, with her IBF title on the line, and a good local fight, Bruce Seldon Jr. vs. Josh Popper, will happen in New Jersey.
