“Cenayang” Tom Padgett earned his nickname last week in predicting Mark Hunt would be buoyed to a win over Derrick Lewis in front of his hometown New Zealand fans at the latest UFC Fight Night. We recap the fight card and preview this weekend’s UFC Fight Night card from Singapore. Tom, Tony and Rich also chat about Mayweather vs. McGregor getting signed. We additionally recap last week’s biggest boxing results and the upcoming weekend’s best fights, including a rematch of Andre Ward vs. Sergey Kovalev. Listen to the two part broadcast below.
Rich Bergeron opens this week’s FNU Combat Sports show by giving his unique take on the Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson feud with the UFC brass, namely Dana White. Upon refusing to take a fight with T.J. Dillashaw without getting certain assurances and conditions met, many fans on social media insisted DJ was running scared. Even Dillashaw took the opportunity to blast the move by the flyweight champ as “chickenshit.” Dana White even reportedly threatened to shut down the entire flyweight division if Johnson refused to fight TJ. “Mighty Mouse” didn’t blink and didn’t cave to the organization’s demands, and Rich explains in his opening dialogue why DJ should be respected and given the benefit of the doubt for his decision rather than being criticized and dragged through the mud for standing up for himself.
During the rest of the broadcast, Tony “Tornado” Penecale details his night out at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia for a fight card headlined by Hank Lundy. He also recaps Fonfara vs. Stevenson II and calls the fight “a disgrace.”
“Cenayang” Tom Padgett chips in with some post-fight analysis of Aldo vs. Holloway. He also predicts Mark Hunt will benefit from home cage advantage in his battle with Derrick Lewis this weekend at UFC Fight Night 110 in New Zealand.
There’s also an update on Hunt’s lawsuit against the UFC and Brock Lesnar and lots of other fight previews and recaps. Listen to the whole broadcast to catch up on what’s new in combat sports this week.
Tony Penecale (kiri) dan Lou Duva (yang tepat) di Brockton, Dedikasi Massachusetts atas patung Rocky Marciano.
Pertunjukan kami minggu ini didedikasikan untuk Lou Duva (di atas kanan dengan co-host Tony Penecale). Lou meninggal awal pekan ini di usia lanjut 1994. Dia adalah teman baik Rocky Marciano, promotor dari 19 Juara dunia, dan seorang pria yang memiliki semua besi di satu api yang menyalakan hidupnya: tinju. Promotor / pelatih / manajer / legenda muncul di acara FNU Combat Sports beberapa tahun yang lalu, tapi sayangnya audionya berbintik dan tidak rata. Jika Anda mendengarkan dengan cermat permata yang terkandung dalam pembicaraan kita lebih penting daripada bagian yang sulit untuk didengar.
Saya juga memposting beberapa klip remaster khusus di sini:
Tom, Tony dan Rich juga merekap Garcia vs. Thurman, Terbaru tentang Mayweather vs.. McGregor, UFC 209 dan banyak kontroversi yang menyertai, Peringatan gelap GSP tentang pengurangan beban, dan kekecewaan Tony Bellew yang mengejutkan terhadap David Haye.
Tom, Tony dan Rich menghabiskan acara minggu ini untuk mengejar berita utama minggu ini dalam olahraga tempur. Kami juga melihat pratinjau pertarungan mendatang di tinju dan MMA. Kami menyoroti gugatan terbaru Mark Hunt tentang perkelahian di mana Brock Lesnar dinyatakan positif untuk PED dan mendiskusikan penilaian Ben Rothwell tentang Travis Browne sebagai “Pelacur Man” Dengarkan siaran lama di bawah ini.
