Welcome to the Fight Freaks Unite recap podcast coming off a huge weekend that had one of the biggest fights of the year take center stage — the long-awaited third fight between Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin for Canelo’s undisputed super middleweight title.
Here’s what we discussed on this episode (in order):
A rundown of my Sunday travel home with a story that had be told.
We get into all things Canelo-GGG III — the fight, the scoring, thoughts on the performances of both fighters, what might be in their immediate futures and is how deep is Golovkin’s decline and is Alvarez still in his prime?
A discussion of junior bantamweight titlist Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez’s hard-fought defense against Israel Gonzalez and what it looks like might be next.
We also give post-fight thoughts on Ali Akhmedov’s shutout of Gabriel Rosado, Austin “Ammo” Williams’ very solid victory over Kieron Conway, Diego Pacheco’s tremendous KO of Enrique Collazo, and Marc Castro’s very impressive destruction of Kevin Montiel Mendoza.
We wrap up with me recounting my story of going to the airport on Sunday with a cab driver who is a big fan and recognized me but didn’t want to talk about Canelo-GGG III. He only wanted to talk about the prospect of Errol Spence Jr.-Terence Crawford.
Please give it a listen! Also: rate, review, subscribe and enjoy!
We will be bringing you the weekend recap each Monday. Let me know what you think of the podcast by leaving your comments.
