Summary
Brian Campbell and Rafe Bartholomew break down undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandyr Usyk's breathtaking knockout of Tony Bellew and what this means for his future at heavyweight as one of boxing's best pound-for-pound fighters. The guys also relive the wild, circus fun that was Neeco "The Rooster" Macias' loss to Jesus Soto Karass (5:33) as CompuBox's Dan Canobbio drops by to discuss the absurd punching records set in the bout and what his thumbs look like five days later (13:53). Unbeaten WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol drops by to preview his Nov. 24 return against Jean Palscal (1:28:30). Plus, friend of the show Eric Raskin recaps "The Contender" season on Epix after Brandon Adams defeated Shane Mosley Jr. in last week's final (1:01:55).
