Summary
Brian Campbell sits down with middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez (1:27:30) and Daniel Jacobs (1:33:30) ahead of their May 4 showdown to talk size difference, judging concerns and whether fans can expect a Hagler-Hearns type action fight. Golden Boy promoter Oscar De La Hoya (1:40:00) talks the pressure on Canelo to fight dangerous opponents and win in light of his landmark DAZN deal and Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport (56:00) shares whether we are closer to a Anthony Joshua-Deontay Wilder fight and whether or not he respects Tyson Fury's power move to ESPN. Plus, Rafe Bartholomew drops by to recap Erislandy Lara's return, debate the fighter of the decade and preview Shawn Porter's welterweight title bout against Yordenis Ugas on Saturday.
