World-class trainer Manny Robles joins the show ahead of Cinco de Mayo weekend in Las Vegas to break down everything. He talks about preparing WBA champion José Armando Reséndiz mentally for his first title defense after the upset over Caleb Plant, and why his fight with Jaime Munguia is a high-pressure, must-win battle for both. Robles also gives his take on David Benavidez vs Zurdo Ramirez, including how Benavidez’s weight could play a factor. Plus, insight into training Mizuki Hiruta as she prepares to make history defending her titles at the Pyramids of Giza, and a final message to Reséndiz before fight night.

Jose Benavidez Sr. reflects on the grind it took to build champions—from prayer and visualization to tough love that his sons didn’t always understand. Now, with David Benavidez set to headline at T-Mobile Arena on Cinco de Mayo weekend, it’s a full-circle moment. Following the path of legends like Julio César Chávez, Oscar De La Hoya, and Canelo Álvarez, he says it plainly that this is "The David Benavidez era." The future face of boxing is here.

#RyanGarcia #terencecrawford #boxing Boxing may be entering its most transformative era yet. As Cynthia Conte and Jeandra LeBeauf break down the sport’s shifting power structure, fighters are no longer relying solely on promoters to build their careers — they are becoming brands, cultural figures, and global marketing forces. Unified champion Xander Zayas is aligned with Bad Bunny’s Rimas Sports. At the same time, Shakur Stevenson has partnered with Gary Vaynerchuk’s Vayner Sports, signaling a new era of athlete branding, digital dominance, and cultural crossover. Meanwhile, Zayas and Mexican contender Emiliano Vargas appeared during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime performance delivered unprecedented exposure — placing boxers in front of over 100 million viewers and creating one of the biggest cultural branding moments the sport has ever seen.
