Dakota was unable to join this week, but we are joined by our friend @GFunkyBoxing  has a great YouTube channel.

In this episode, we talk about Vergil Ortiz's return to the ring against Fredrick Lawson on the January 6th DAZN card promoted by Golden Boy Promotions. Ismael Barroso humiliates Ohara Davies en route to winning the WBA interim junior welterweight title. Arnold Barboza Jr., and Raul Curiel win in separate bouts. Oh, and Jose Ramirez signs with Golden Boy Promotions.

We also preview the light heavyweight world title fight between Artur Beterbiev and Callum Smith on ESPN, on January 13th. Undercard bouts worth seeing, Jason Moloney defending his title against Saul Sanchez, Imam Khataev my breakout fighter of the year, and Christian Mbilli in a marquee spot.
