Errol Spence Jr. had a tremendous performance in his 10th-round knockout of Yordenis Ugas to unify three welterweight world titles on Saturday night and, hopefully, set up an undisputed championship fight with Terence Crawford.

There were also notable wins on the undercard by lightweight contender Isaac Cruz, lightweight prospect Jose Valenzuela, welterweight contender Cody Crowley, welterweight Eimantas Stanionis and junior welterweight prospect Brandun Lee.

In England, welterweight up-and-comer Conor Been scored a sensational second-round knockout of Chris van Heerden in the main event of the Matchroom Boxing card.

T.J. Rives of BigFightWeekend.com and I discussed it all on the Fight Freaks Unite Recap Podcast, which is now part of the Big Fight Weekend Podcast Network. Make sure to follow/subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, etc.

Please give it a listen and let me know in the comments your thoughts on what we plan on being a regular feature.
