Episode 742: Who Won: Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol? + Tim Tszyu vs Bakhram Murtazaliev Fight Preview!

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.
