The Lukie Boxing Podcast

Lukie (and maybe Dakota) jump on the podcast to talk about the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight that occurred.
Let’s talk about the weekend’s biggest moments in boxing:
Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul — a cultural spectacle that brought the numbers but not the action.
Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano II — a messy rematch that left fans split.
Barrios vs. Ramos — a clash that proved styles make fights, even when mismatches surprise.
Riyadh’s “Latino Night” delivered shockers, with Gilberto Ramirez dominating, Arnold Barboza Jr. outworking Jose Ramirez, and William Zepeda looking shaky ahead of a potential Shakur Stevenson bout.
Plus, standout performances from Oscar Collazo, Bruce Carrington, and Lucas Bahdi. Was Zepeda exposed? Is Shadasia Green losing her edge? And where does boxing’s new wave of celebrity fights leave the sport?

In this episode, Lukie and Dakota talk about Tim Tszyu’s fourth-round stoppage of Joey Spencer. What did we learn about both?
reflect on Richard Torrez Jr’s 10-round unanimous decision over Guido Vianello, what is his future?
Lukie was on-site as he shares his thoughts on the WBC junior welterweight eliminator that saw Lindolfo Delgado win a majority decision over Elvis Rodriguez. Other stand-outs such as lightweight Abdullah Mason, junior bantamweight Steven Navarro and middleweight Jahi Tucker are discussed.
Then, we move to the unified middleweight titleholder Janibek Alimkhanuly stopping Anauel Ngamissengue in what could be labeled his best performance of his career. Also, heavyweight Bakhodir Jalolov had a forgettable fight. What is going on with his pro career?
Late-sub Filip Hrgovic won a unanimous decision over Joe Joyce. The heavyweight fight was odd.
On ProBox TV, Ricardo Salas knocked out Kent Cruz in two rounds and Antonio Moran won a majority decision over Mykquan Williams.
This week we preview, a welterweight unification bout between Jaron Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis steals the headlines. Raymond Ford versus Thomas Mattice is a good undercard bout on the show, Arturo Popoca will face Christian Carto and 2024 Olympic bronze medalist Omari Jones makes a quick return.
On ProBox TV, Jordan White will face Jose Matias Romero in the main event, the co-feature will see heavyweight Stephan Shaw vs. Raphael Akpejiori, and William Foster III vs. Brandon Leon Benitez is notable fight as well.
Eye of the Tiger Management has a card on Thursday telecast on ESPN+.

In this episode, we dive into Tim Tszyu's stunning third-round knockout loss to Bakhram Murtazaliev. Is Tszyu's championship journey coming to an end, or does he have one last comeback in him? We break down the fight, where Tszyu was dropped four times, and discuss whether his brutal war with Sebastian Fundora left lasting damage.
We also talk about Murtazaliev’s rise—who's next for him? A bout with Terence Crawford or Vergil Ortiz would be electric. Plus, check out our thoughts on the undercard, including Yoenis Tellez’s impressive stoppage and a wild middleweight opener that ended in a draw.
In this episode, we break down Yoenis Tellez’s impressive seventh-round stoppage of Johan Gonzalez. Tellez, trained by Ronnie Shields, showed patience before closing the show, calling out Xander Zayas afterward. Could he be ready for a title shot soon?
We also recap the action-packed opener between Endry Saavedra and Cesar Mateo Tapia, a wild brawl that ended in a draw despite Saavedra dropping Tapia three times. Plus, we touch on William Scull's win to claim the IBF super middleweight title and Omar Salcido’s dominant TKO of Chris Colbert.

Join us for a deep dive into the world of boxing on our live show, where we analyze the major matchups and headline-grabbing events from across the globe, as Lukie and Dakota ramble on.
First, we discuss Artur Beterbiev’s controversial victory over Dmitry Bivol to become the undisputed light heavyweight champion. The fight was a tactical masterclass but left fans divided, with some comparing it to classic bouts like Leonard vs. Hagler, while others felt it lacked the thrill of an all-out war. Did it live up to the hype, or will this bout be more debated than celebrated?
We also look ahead to junior middleweight Tim Tszyu’s highly anticipated title fight this Saturday, live on Amazon Prime, where he looks to cement his place among the world’s top junior middleweights. Will Tszyu continue his rise, or will his opponent and IBF titleholder Bakhram Murtazaliev, spoil the party?
In addition, we highlight Fabio Wardley’s explosive first-round knockout of Frazer Clarke, which sent shockwaves through the heavyweight division. With talks of Wardley taking on names like Otto Wallin or Jamaine Franklin, is he destined for a major title shot soon?
Chris Eubank Jr.'s knockout win over Kamil Szeremeta and his escalating feud with Conor Benn is another hot topic. Is this grudge match the next big showdown in British boxing, or just another flashy sequel in the making?
Next, we cover the ongoing rise of Ben Whittaker, who faced unexpected adversity against Liam Cameron, ending in a technical draw after a dramatic tumble over the ropes. Will Whittaker bounce back stronger, or is this a sign of more challenges ahead?
We then shift focus to Japan's thriving boxing scene, where major upsets and knockouts stole the spotlight. Masamichi Yabuki’s stunning knockout of Sivenathi Nontshinga for the IBF junior flyweight title and Seiya Tsutsumi’s upset win over Takuma Inoue are just some of the highlights. Plus, Kenshiro Teraji’s 11th-round KO of Cristofer Rosales showcased his all-action style, while Junto Nakatani’s dominant win solidified his status as Japan’s next rising star.
Join us as we break down all these fights and more, offering expert analysis, predictions, and debates on the biggest moments in boxing. Don’t miss out on the hottest discussions in the sport!
