I denne uge Tom, Tony and Rich catch up with Professional Boxer “Hurtig” Eddie Chambers. Desværre, en optagelse glitch forlod os uden den første halvdel af udsendelsen i aften, hvor vi havde en stor diskussion om, hvad Chambers opnået i sin karriere hidtil. Vi gjorde gemme hele Eddie interview, selv. Rich undskylder for fjerde medvært (Tom Cat) for hans konstante afbrydelser i den tidlige igangværende. Vær tålmodig, selv, folk. Dette er en af de bedste interviews vi har gennemført i lang tid, og Eddie er en reel klasse handle. Det er værd at lytte og vil formentlig være den første af mange chats med Chambers vi vil sandsynligvis have i fremtiden.
This broadcast of the FNU Combat Sports Show starts off with one of the most controversial stories of the week. Many sports pundits are quick to ridicule Guillermo Rigondeaux for bowing out of his blockbuster boxing match with Vasyl Lomachenko last Saturday. ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith wasted no time during the broadcast, ripping into the Cuban boxer for refusing to come out for the seventh round of the one-sided fight. Teddy Atlas, exiled from his ringside reporting duties thanks to his outspoken views on boxing corruption and his abrasive treatment of lesser-experienced commentators, came to Rigo’s defense. Atlas argued with Smith from his own home studio, basically explaining that everyone is human. Tom, Tony and Rich all offer their own takes on the situation and their thoughts on the “fight.”
We also track the latest news in combat sports, recap the past week’s events and preview competing UFC and Bellator events this Saturday. We even touch on the multiple story lines involving Floyd Mayweather Jr. that are making the rounds in the sports media this week. “Penge” claims he can make up to a billion dollars if he goes into the UFC for a three or four fight deal. Godt, held og lykke, Floyd. I hear CM Punk wants another fight.
Listen to the two part broadcast below.
Del 1:
Del 2:
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.”
“Psychic” 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 i New Zealand.
