Summary

Brian Campbell and Rafe Bartholomew react to Conor McGregor's viral tweet about a boxing match with Oscar De La Hoya that started with a debate on last week's podcast. Could the fight really happen? Who would win (2:37)? The guys also hit up the latest boxing headlines including Mike Tyson being offered $20 million by BKFC to fight (25:20), Tyson Fury's father calling "Iron Mike" out (31:12) and Gennadiy Golovkin's hard stance against a Canelo Alvarez trilogy (46:55). Plus, pro wrestling legend Jim Ross stops by to talk why working in AEW without Vince McMahon in his ear has been so liberating, partying with Ric Flair and how he's adjusting as a widow during quarantine (1:09:15). --------------------------------------- 'State of Combat' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
