Q is out this episode, currently in camp helping Abel Ramos prepare for his upcoming fight against Tamir Smalls, so we jump straight into the biggest stories shaking up boxing right now.
We open with Vergil Ortiz Jr. suing Golden Boy Promotions, breaking down what may have gone wrong behind the scenes and why things escalated to this point. We react to Robert Garcia’s comments on BoxingScene, including speculation around Turki Alalshikh and whether the power structure in boxing is quietly shifting.
From there, we discuss Brian Norman Jr. appearing on Cigar Talk, where he revealed he’s no longer training with his father. His dad later responded on Mill City Boxing, clearly unhappy and saying he wouldn’t be a second to anyone in the corner. That leads to a real conversation about father-son relationships in boxing which ones worked, which ones didn’t, and why those dynamics often fall apart.
Next, we react to Keyshawn Davis telling v Roy Jones Jr. that he was drinking throughout his camp for Edwin De Los Santos, which he says led to missing weight. A former team member disputed those claims, and we break down how Keyshawn comes off in moments like this accountability, honesty, or a cry for attention?
Then we get into the clip everyone’s talking about: Claressa Shields allegedly calling into Hood Champion Boxing pretending to be someone else… and outing herself live. We talk about how bad it looks, why it went viral, and why someone of her stature would even make that move.
We also touch on rumors of Errol Spence Jr. potentially returning against Tim Tszyu, plus the WBA moving Gervonta Davis into “champion in recess” status and what that means for the lightweight division including who’s now next in line for the belt.
We close things out with Zuffa Boxing, reacting to Dana White’s new trailer, breaking down their January 23 card, and then previewing the January 24 DAZN card headlined by Raymond Muratalla vs. Andy Cruz, including undercard breakdowns and predictions.
