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.

This episode opens with Oscar De La Hoya calling out Eddie Hearn on social media and demanding a 60–40 split for Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs Jaron “Boots” Ennis. We talk about whether that fight is actually happening and why it may not benefit Vergil right now.
From there, we get into Devin Haney tweeting he’s looking for an opponent, Keyshawn Davis responding, and Haney firing back saying he’s on the list. We break down how real that matchup is and why Jamaine Ortiz is a dangerous fight.
The discussion then shifts to Richardson Hitchins vs Oscar Duarte, expected to be announced for February 21, and whether that’s the right fight or if a different matchup made more sense.
Staying at 140, we talk Subriel Matías losing to Dalton Smith and debate who the bigger threat really is — Gary Antuanne Russell or Subriel Matías.
From there, we dive into Ryan Garcia discipline, streaming, Robert Garcia’s comments on BoxingScene, and training with his dad. We question how many real title chances Ryan has left if he loses to Mario Barrios.
We also touch on Keith Thurman vs Sebastian Fundora, Zuffa Boxing’s announced main event, and what that league-style model could become.
We close with Canelo Alvarez, his elbow surgery, the shadowboxing clip, his expected September return, turning down Osleys Iglesias, and who makes sense as a comeback opponent before ending with one last debate: who’s the biggest puncher in boxing right now?

This episode opens with Gary Antoine Russell picking Teofimo Lopez over Shakur Stevenson and what that choice really says about styles, pressure, and how fighters view risk at the elite level. We break down why Teo might be the pick in that matchup, how Shakur is perceived inside boxing circles, and what that prediction tells us beyond just who wins the fight.
From there, the conversation shifts to Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez entering free agency and the comments made by Robert Garcia about Matchroom, belief, and control. We talk through what a new deal could actually look like for Bam, what leverage he really has at this point in his career, and whether this moment is about money, freedom, or finally being valued as a top-tier fighter.
We then get into Claressa Shields explaining why she chose to fight Franchon Crews-Dezurn instead of Shadasia Green. That leads to a real back-and-forth on legacy versus danger, timing versus obligation, and how elite fighters decide which risks are worth taking once their résumé is already secure.
The discussion continues with Dan Rafael’s tweets about rumored Zuffa Boxing signees and Eddie Hearn’s comments on the contracts being offered. We explore what Zuffa Boxing could realistically become, whether a league-style model can work in boxing, and what fighters stand to gain or lose if this system actually takes off.
We close the episode with Keyshawn Davis on Inside the Ring with Max Kellerman, where talk of a Shakur Stevenson fight turns into conversation about moving up to 147. We break down whether Keyshawn is seriously planning a move to welterweight, if the weight change makes sense, or if that answer was simply a way to sidestep a question fans keep pressing.
