MARVIN HAGLER ON FLOYD MAYWEATHER CALLING HIMSELF TBE: "THAT"S A BIG STATEMENT...TOO EARLY TO TELL"
Floyd Mayweather vs. Andre Berto kicks off this weeks podcast. We talk about Floyd Mayweathers thought process in picking Berto as an opponent, and what to expect from the fight.
After a short hiatus, Diego and Iare back to discuss the big Mayweather-Berto announcement. Wealso recap Danny Garcia-Paulie Malignaggi, Daniel Jacobs-Sergio Mora and the debut of Premier Boxing Champions on Bounce TV.
More from The Living DaylightsOther topics include the light heavyweight fiasco involving Sergey Kovalev, Artur Beterbiev and Adonis Stevenson, the thrilling news that Gennady Golovkin and David Lemieux will unify middleweight titles and, finally, Carl Frochs hall of fame candidacy in light of his recent retirement.
Heres a more detailed breakdown of this weeks episode:
- The official announcement that Floyd Mayweather Jr. will fight Andre Berto on September 12 despite being the worst kept secret in boxing is bitterly disappointing. We remind listeners that none of this is Andre Bertos fault; that said, with opponents like Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter and Amir Khan eager and willing to step up and fight, you have to question Floyd Mayweathers logic and delusional belief that hes The Best Ever (news flash: he isnt).
- We recap the PBCs second ESPN card and speculate about whats next for Danny Garcia. Was he impressive in defeating Paulie Malignaggi? Or could Garcia have shown more? Regardless, Garcia is well-positioned in a loaded welterweight division. As for Danny Jacobs-Sergio Mora, we lament the early end to this thrilling mini-war. It was too small a sample size to properly assess Jacobs, and concerns still linger about his chin. Where do you rate him at middleweight?
- With Al Haymon blocking the proposed Sergey Kovalev-Artur Beterbiev fight, we consider who the Krusher could fight next. Adonis Stevenson also announced his next fight, a pathetic matchup against Tommy Karpency. We wade through the compelling, confusing and frustrating light heavyweight landscape.Fansided Daily
