In this episode, Lukie and Dakota talk about Jaron "Boots" Ennis' win over Xander Zayas to become a unified junior middleweight titleholder. What are the stories from the fight? Why does Lukie think the first knockdown in round one was so pivotal? Is Boots one of the best inside fighters? Xander, a Puerto Rican star? What is Boots' defense like? We tackle the big questions.
On the undercard, Emiliano Vargas stopped Bryce Mills, Ben Whittaker stopped Richie Rivera, and Jahi Tucker, with a performance of the night, beat Euri Cedeno. Also, Jose "Rayo" Valenzuela knocked out Edwin De Los Santos in their rematch. Did Rayo hit De Los Santos when he was down? Cain Sandoval beat Brandun Lee in a fun fight, plus Tony Hirsch is emerging as a star for Zuffa Boxing.
Then, we jump to this week, as TNT Sports will broadcast Abdullah Mason's first WBO lightweight title fight against Albert Bell. Is this a sneaky classic? Lukie thinks so. Also, on the undercard: WBC featherweight belt-holder Bruce Carrington against Rene Palacios, and Tiger Johnson takes on Christopher Guerrero.
