Our show this week was dedicated to Lou Duva (above right with our co-host Tony Penecale). Lou died earlier this week at the ripe old age of 1994. He was a great friend to Rocky Marciano, a promoter of 19 Dünya şampiyonu, and a man who had all his irons in the one fire that lit his life: boks. The promoter/trainer/manager/legend appeared on the FNU Combat Sports show years back, but unfortunately the audio is grainy and spotty. If you listen closely the gems our talk contains outweigh the difficult spots to hear.
The full Lou Duva interview is here:

I’m also posting a couple specific remastered clips here:
Tom, Tony and Rich also recap Garcia vs. Thurman, The latest on Mayweather vs. McGregor, UFC 209 and the many controversies attached, GSP’s dark warning about weight cutting, and Tony Bellew’s shocking upset of David Haye.
Here’s the tape: (THE TAPE DOESN’T LIE)
Tarafından: Zengin Bergeron
UFC 209 is fast approaching with two dynamic fights headlining the card, including a highly anticipated rematch closing the show. Fans are itching for a solid fight card to watch after multiple disappointing Pay-Per-View events left them wanting more in recent months. This is a card that could definitely deliver the action-packed, adrenaline-filled spectacle fans have come to expect for the price of admission. Here are my previews and predictions for the two blockbuster fights at the top of the bill.
Stephen Thompson (13-1-1) gets another crack at the welterweight title against Tyron Woodley (16-3-1) ana olay. Even the odds makers (Check out the M88 sportsbook for more betting info) have a tough time predicting how this highly charged rematch will go. Woodley comes in as the slight underdog at +110 to Thompson’s -140.
Yine, the Champion came close to finishing the first fight in the fourth round. Rather than continue with his powerful ground and pound approach against the in-trouble Thompson, Woodley switched to a failed choke attempt instead. Thompson was able to weather the storm and eke out the draw, but he also won three out of the five rounds on the scorecard. The experts who set the betting lines are obviously conscious of this and factoring it into their calculations.
Can Woodley put himself in position to get the knockout win this time or will Thompson make the right adjustments to win every round this time?
Tahmin: Stephen Thompson made one glaring mistake in the first fight that led to Woodley having a huge chance to win by knockout. Woodley picked his spots and made the fight competitive, but with both fighters knowing so much about each other now he may not be able to repeat or improve upon his performance in the first fight. Bu arada, Thompson is a skilled tactician, and he will focus on cage control this time around. He will use distance striking, superb defense, and constant movement to keep Woodley from doing any major damage this time around. Woodley of course has a chance to quiet all his doubters with one punch, but Thompson is the type of fighter who may not give the champ a chance to land that shot.
THOMPSON WINS BY UNANIMOUS DECISION
The co-main event will set the stage for Conor MacGregor’s return to the UFC cage. The Irish superstar will eventually face the winner of UFC 209’s co-main event: Khabib Nurmagomedov (24-0) vs. Tony Ferguson (22-3). This fight could potentially upstage the main event, despite the fact that Khabib is a -205 favorite to Ferguson’s +165 odds to win. Both fighters have enough momentum going for them to earn a title shot without fighting each other, but that doesn’t make this bout any less exciting on paper. Ferguson is 12-1 in the UFC with his only loss coming against Khabib’s last opponent: Michael Johnson. Ferguson lost to Johnson in 2012 by unanimous decision while Khabib submitted Johnson via Kimura in the third round of their UFC 205 clash last November.
Both fighters have equally imposing strengths. Khabib smothers many of his opponents with crisp wrestling skills to match his more than capable striking and submission ability. Sambo and judo are also staples of Nurmagomedov’s intense approach to cage fighting. He is so well rounded that he has an equal number (8) of submission, decision and T/KO wins, and all of his decision wins are unanimous.
Ferguson is on a nine-fight win streak. He is more of a volume striker, and he used excellent boxing to impose his will on the opponents he’s dominated so far. He is also well rounded like Nurmagomedov and can use that superb striking to secure submissions on stunned opponents. O sahip 8 submissions to go with 9 T/KOs and five decisions.
TAHMİN: Ferguson may be on a tremendous run right now, but Khabib’s absolutely dominated every opponent he ever faced in his MMA career. McGregor may actually be rooting for a tie in this fight so he can have some extra time to negotiate a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather, Jr. while these two contenders are setting up an inevitable rematch. Ancak, ties are rare enough in the UFC that one here is far fetched to imagine. It’s much more likely that this fight ends up with one fighter on the canvas, out cold or too dazed to continue. All signs point to that fighter being Ferguson, leaving MacGregor with the prospect of having to prove his mettle by beating a man nobody’s been able to beat before. Elbette, anything can happen in that cage and anyone can have a bad night at the office, but perfection is hard to argue with.
NURMAGOMEDOV BY 2nd Round TKO
John “Canavar” Baranchyk (15-0, 10 KOs) joins the broadcast tonight to talk about his recent war on ShoBox with Abel Ramos (17-2-2, 12 KOs). Baranchyk launched an incredible effort in the later rounds to hand Ramos his second professional loss and establish himself as a spirited, tough-as-nails brawler. Some experts claimed the fight was one of the most entertaining bouts in the 17-year history of the ShoBox series. Tom, Tony and Rich discuss the fight, other highlights of Ivan’s career, and get Baranchyk to explain how his early start in Jiu Jitsu eventually led him to the Sweet Science. The 24-year-old is already solidifying his legend, which explains why he points to “Demir” Mike Tyson as one of his role models in the sport of boxing.
Tom, Tony and Rich also discuss the latest Mayweather/MacGregor news, an odd suspension of an MMA fighter for going after his opponent’s corner man, the calling off of Chris Brown vs. Soulja Boy, and Roy Jones Jr. re-establishing his goal of fighting Anderson Silva in a boxing match (he now wants it to be on the Mayweather/MacGregor undercard).
We also recap last week’s combat sports events and preview Bellator 173 and this week’s upcoming boxing matches.

Can a pro mixed martial artist beat a pro boxer is the kind of question that started the UFC in the first place, but now the wildly popular fight league seems to be trying to avoid that question entirely when it comes to a potential boxing match between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.
Though recent reports indicated a deal was in the works with only a third party failing to agree on terms (most likely the UFC), it seems that the UFC brass knows this could be a lose/lose situation for the promotion. For one, Conor is almost guaranteed to lose the fight. Secondly, the purse he will command should be extremely hefty, which will mean he will demand the same kind of money for every fight after this one. This is why UFC President Dana White put his ceiling at $25 million for McGregor to fight Mayweather.
The UFC could end up paying dearly for letting this fight happen. It could make McGregor much too popular and shift the balance of power from the UFC bosses to their star employee. Conor will be the one calling the shots from here on out if this boxing match happens, especially if it ends up being a $100 million payday for “Mystic Mac.”
Just consider this segment on UNDISPUTED, starring Shannon Sharp and Skip Bayless:
The inevitable loss for McGregor would really be a huge win for the cocky, arrogant and outspoken fighter who seems like he actually believes he can pull off a miracle win. Even if he’s knocked out, beaten by a wide unanimous decision, or disqualified for engaging in illegal strikes, Conor stands to make enough money to potentially retire from MMA for good. It’s either that, or he could just continue in MMA with the stipulation that no fight purse in his future be any less than what he makes for the Mayweather bout. If Conor even shows the slightest bit of skill in the boxing ring, he could also end up being the combat sports version of Bo Jackson and maintain a career as a two sport athlete in the future. All of this is simply bad for the UFC as a whole, as they will at best have to share one of their top talents and will have to pay him outrageous fees to keep him fighting in their Octagon.
It would be much much smarter for Conor fans to play some casino games at คาสิโน MarathonBet than it would for any of them to put down money on their hero to win this fight. Whatever odds this fight does finally generate in Vegas, McGregor is sure to be a huge underdog that will tempt his fans to make the bet on the slim chance of a huge payout. It just isn’t a good idea considering the lack of experience Conor has as a boxer and the invincibility of Mayweather in the final years of his boxing career.
What is crystal clear is that Mayweather wants only one fight to leave the comfort of retirement, and McGregor is the only man who will face him in that fight. The fact that this should be a walk in the park is not lost on Floyd. There’s no downside to trouncing McGregor. Floyd has been itching to prove MMA fighters as a whole don’t have the punching power or prowess that a boxer of his caliber has. He will no doubt get his chance, but don’t ask the UFC to pay astronomical record numbers to facilitate a fight of this magnitude if it means raising the fight pay bar to a level they can never recover from if they want to keep their ultimate superstar on the books.
McGregor can talk all he wants, and sports pundits will eat it up like candy. People will either have some insane belief that he can pull off this walk on water routine, or they will want to pay to see his ego crushed in defeat. Öyle ya da böyle, this bout could reap huge rewards for both fighters. People WILL pay to see it, even if it does prove to be a complete and utter disappointment.
Tony, Rich and Tom come back from a week off with a ton of stuff to talk about. From the controversy of Holly Holm’s UFC 208 main event title fight with Germaine De Randamie to the upcoming battle between Matt Mitrione and Fedor Emelianenko, we cover a wide range of past and upcoming MMA events. We also look back at Ivan Barnchyk’s masterful comeback last weekend against Abel Ramos in a thrilling boxing match. We also go over the upcoming week’s boxing schedule. We also update the Mayweather vs. MacGregor negotiations with a big surprise: The UFC is the big stumbling block at this point. Additionally we discuss the recent study showing soccer players can suffer the same damage as heavyweight boxers after long careers in the sport where heading soccer balls repeatedly can bring on CTE in retired players. We also spend time discussing Brock Lesnar’s retirement and GSP’s imminent return.

UFC 207 uzun zamandır beklenen dönüşü “Kabadayı” Ronda Rousey (12-1) bir zamanlar kadınların ufak tefek şampiyonu oldu. Holly Holm tarafından Rousey'den dramatik bir şekilde alınan başlık şimdi Amanda Nunes'ın yetenekli belinin etrafında (13-4). Rousey 30 Aralık'ta onu parçalayıp kendi kalçalarının etrafına koyma şansına sahip olacak.
Rousey bir yıldan uzun süredir kafes dışında, ve yakın zamanda karışık dövüş sanatlarındaki kariyerinin sona erdiğini doğruladı. Nunes genç, underdog olarak aç ve korkutucu (+150) efsanevi Judoka ve MMA juggernaut'a karşı kemerini tutmak istiyor. Rousey, -185.
Daha fazla bahis ve bahis bilgileri için 12BAHİS.
Bu gişe rekorları kıran etkinliğe verilen cevaplardan daha fazla soru var. Rousey halka pasını sallayacak ve zafere geri dönecek mi?? Emekliliğe doğru zaten bir adım mı? Nunes şüphelerini susturabilir ve ilk UFC kadınlarının ufak ağırlık şampiyonunun mirasını düşürmeye devam edebilir mi?? Ne olursa olsun, ilk tur çok önemli olacak. Her iki kadın da hızlı bir gece geçirmek isteyecek.
Tahmin: Rousey intikamla geri döndü ve çok daha iyi vuruş ve tekme savunması sergiledi. Nunes sert savaşlar ve Brezilya'nın sunabileceği en iyi şeyleri temsil ediyor, ama Ronda kaybedecek çok şey var. Artık korumak için mükemmel bir kaydı olmayabilir, ama bu savaşı kazanmak için mükemmel bir nedeni var. Ayrıca kendi eleştirmenlerini kapatmak ve unvanını geri almak için geri döndüğünü kanıtlamak için alfa statüsünü kurması gerekiyor.. Rousey ikinci turda nakavtla kazanır.
Ortak UFC etkinliğinde başka bir UFC bantamweight başlığı da var. Dominic Cruz (22-1) Cody Garbrandt verir (10-0) gerçek bir slugfest ne olabilir kemer bir çatlak. Cody bir dövüşünü asla kaybetmedi ve profesyonel kariyerindeki on kariyer rakibinin dokuzunu elinden aldı, Dominic Cruz (-225) , Mart ayına kadar uzanan 13 dövüşlü bir galibiyet dizisinde ilerliyor 2008. Garbrandt (+175) atasözünü temsil eder “delgeç şansı” işte, gerçi. Son üç maçını TKO veya nakavtla kazandı. Hepsi sona erdi, Cody’nin hızlı delme gücü sayesinde.
Tahmin: Cruz'un taktik olduğunu düşünmek, savunma savaşçısı, kavga daha derin mermilere girdikçe gelişecek. Garbrandt, ilk tur eleme olmadan kazanamaz çünkü deneyim ve ham yetenek Cruz'un kafese getirdiği benzersiz ve dinamik. Başka bir savaşçı gibi ayarlamalar yapar ve son yıllarda karşılaştığı her rakibi şaşırtan vücut ve kafa hareketini kullanır. Cody yakalamak zorunda olacak “Dominator” onunla bağlantı kurmak, ve bunu yapmak için sadece bir tur olacak. Cruz geç raund TKO ya da oybirliği ile karar aldı.
Fabricio Werdum arasında ağır bir çatışma (21-6-1) ve Cain Velasquez (14-2) UFC'de de yer alıyor 207. Kavga bir UFC'nin yeniden yapımı 188 iki goliath arasındaki savaş, Werdum üçüncü turda şampiyonluğu kazanarak sona erdi (Giyotin Şok).
Bu sefer, Velasquez favori dövüşçü (-210) Werdum ise +170 mazlum. Bu başka bir kavgacı vs. taktikçi eşleşmesi, ve her iki şekilde de gidebilir. Werdum, Stipe Miyosik'e karşı zayıf bir çene gösterdi, ve Cain bunu kontrol etmek için her fırsatı arayacak.
Tahmin: Velasquez, Werdum'u iki tur içinde gönderdi. Cain’in vuruşu Werdum'dan daha üstündür, ve bu sefer Werdum'un savaşı yere indirmesine izin verme hatasını yapmayacak. Velasquez yazan KO.
Neil Magny (18-5) ve Johny Hendricks (17-5) UFC için kafese gel 207 ligin en iyi ağır ağırlıklarından ikisi olarak. İkisi de son zamanlarda sporda iniş ve çıkışlar yaşıyor, gerçi. Hendricks son dört dövüşünden üçünü kaybederken Magny, son maçında Lorenz Larkin tarafından durdurulan üç dövüş galibiyet serisini aldı. Hendricks eski benliğinden çok uzak, şampiyona günlerinden çok uzak. Stephen Thompson, Kelvin Gastelum eski şampiyonun karşısındaki kafese girmeden önce Hendricks ile acımasız bir TKO'ya giden paspası sildi ve üç sert savaştan sonra oybirliğiyle karar aldı..
Tahmin: Magny daha dayanıklı ve dinamik savaşçı, ve Hendricks en iyi güç atışlarını yapacak kadar yaklaşamıyor. Magny Hendricks'i durduracak’ gelişmeler, yayından kaldırma girişimlerini reddet ve eski şampiyonu son zilden önce gönder veya durdur. Üçüncü tur TKO tarafından Magny.
Ana kartın öncüsü, eski bir şampiyonu içeren başka bir dövüştür. T.J. Dillashaw (13-3) savaşlar kaleci John “Eller taş” Lineker (29-7) gelecekteki bir klasik olmaya bağlı küçük bir kavgada. Lineker bir yoğunluk getiriyor, sadece tanıklık etmek için şaşırtıcı olan güç ve doğruluk. Dillashaw, İrlandalı bir üvey dansçı gibi kafesin etrafında hareket ediyor, Meksikalı bir boğa güreşçisi gibi saldırıları atlatmak. Lineker, John Dodson ile yaptığı son maçında kurnaz olabileceğini gösterdi., teknik avcı uçağı.
Tahmin: Ne T.J. Lineker'in gücü yok: GÜÇ. Lineker menzilini ikinci turda bulmayı öğrenecek ve Dillashaw’un alışılmadık savunmasına girmeye başlayacak. Üçüncü turun ortasında T.J'yi yakalayacak. acımasız bir yumruk serisi ile ayaklarındaki mücadeleyi destekleyip bitir, tekmeler, dizler ve dirsekler kafese karşı. Üçüncü tur TKO'dan Lineker.
