Show notes
A hugte night for O'Shaquie Foster in Vegas, a ho-hum title defense for Dalton Smith and lots of fight news on the newest 'Fight Freaks Unite Recap Podcast!"
Host T.J. Rives and insider Dan Rafael of his Fight Freaks Unite Substack and Newsletter return to go over it all.
First they recap Saturday night’s Top Rank DAZN card in San Antonio
Foster defeats Emanuel Navarrete by 12 round decision and unifies WBC/WBO/IBF titles & claims vacant lineal championship. It was a treemendou performance by Foster and opens up lots of options. This includes, Vasiliy Lomachenko, who was ringside, and said in DAZN interview he wants the winner- now Foster.
On the undercard featherweight Albert “Chop Chop” Gonzalez KO2 Edward Vazquez. Big future it would appear for Chop Chop. And, junior welterweight Frank Martin TKO7 Tarik Zaina, as the Ghost got the KO.
Next, they recap Saturday’s Matchroom Boxing DAZN main event in Sheffield, England
Junior welterweight Dalton Smith W12 split Alberto Puello, retains WBC title in a largely dull fight whether neither fighter consistently landed much. It definitely didn't help Smith get a mega-fight soon with Shakur Stevenson.
Then, NEWS
Canelo Alvearez-Christian Mbilli card update – Lindolpho Delgado fight is off, per Dan's sources, because as of Sunday night, he hadn't left from California for Saudi Arabia and doesn't plan to do so.
Also, there is a new challenger for WBO featherweight titlist Rafael Espinoza that Dan will explain.
Next, days after the fight with Shakur Stevenson died, DAZN announces Devin Haney’s contract – three months after Big Dan reported it was signed in July – with the first bout penciled in for Dec. 19. Deal for unification with IBF titlist Liam Paro is agreed to (though not yet signed)
Also, Top Rank has written the WBO seeking to have it order Shakur Stevenslon mandatory vs. No. 1 Raymond Muratalla who was the lightweight champ and the WBO will likely order the fight this week
Manny Pacquiao may face Joe Cordina on Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua undercard on Dec. 11?? What. Are. We. Doing. Here.
Also, the WBO strips Denzel Bentley of its middleweight title, as readies for fight for floundering Zuffa Boxing.
And, Bob Arum, in various interviews at Navarrete-Foster card, said Top Rank has released Keyshawn Davis from their deal that had one fight left on it. T.J. actually called this three months ago!
