Navarrete Dramatic TKO + Amanda Serrano Undisputed And More! | Fight Freaks Unite Recap

Big Fight Weekend Boxing Podcast - A podcast by tj

Categories:

A couple of wild championship fights kicked off February as Emanuel Navarrete became a champion in a third weight division and Amanda Serrano became the women's undisputed featherweight champ. And, we're ready to go over it all on the latest "Fight Freaks Unite Recap" podcast. Host T.J. Rives and insider Dan Rafael of BigFightWeekend.com return with their insight and analysis, plus, some news off the weekend and a little nostalgia off the weekend too. First the guys discuss Serrano's bloody win by decision over Erika Cruz Saturday night at the Hulu Theater next to Madison Square Garden. Dan and T.J. have thoughts on the battle and whether the fight should have been stopped due to the blood loss for Cruz and the fact she was clearly hopelessly behind on the cards for the 9th and 10th rounds? Also, Serrano will now meet women's lightweight champ Katie Taylor in a rematch in May. The boys have more on that and the rest of the Matchroom Boxing card that saw Alycia Baumgardner become undisputed at women's junior lightweight and Richardson Hitchins score a lopsided win that should have been halted earlier. Next, the guys go over the thrilling, early "fight of the year" candidate as Navarrete got off the canvas for the first time in his career to rally and beat a valiant Aussie fighter Liam Wilson by TKO. Wilson score a knockdown in the fourth round and had the Mexican in serous trouble, but controversy happened with the referee delaying the restarting of the fight after his 8 count. That delay clearly cost Wilson a good chance to finish a stunned Navarrete immediately. Then, Navarrete showed great fortitude and out-slugged Wilson for his ninth title fight win in the last 11 bouts by KO. They also go over the rest of the Top Rank Arizona card, including Arnold Barboza and former Olympic Silver Medalist Richard Torrez winning their bouts. There is some news of the week and then, some anniversaries of Oscar De La Hoya's 50th birthday, Sugar Ray Leonard's pro debut and "the Raging Bull" beating the legendary Sugar Ray Robinson more than half a century ago.
