“Psychic” 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.
Mae Rich Bergeron yn agor sioe FNU Combat Sports yr wythnos hon trwy roi ei sylw unigryw ar y Demetrious “Llygoden Fawr” Johnson ffiw gyda phres UFC, sef Dana White. Wedi gwrthod ymladd â T.J.. Dillashaw heb fodloni rhai sicrwydd ac amodau, mynnodd llawer o gefnogwyr ar gyfryngau cymdeithasol fod DJ yn rhedeg yn ofnus. Manteisiodd hyd yn oed Dillashaw ar y cyfle i ffrwydro'r symudiad gan y champ pwysau plu fel “cyw ieir.” Roedd Dana White hyd yn oed wedi bygwth cau'r adran pwysau plu cyfan i lawr pe bai Johnson yn gwrthod ymladd TJ. “Llygoden Fawr” wnaethon nhw ddim blincio ac nid oedden nhw wedi ogofâu i ofynion y sefydliad, ac mae Rich yn egluro yn ei ddeialog agoriadol pam y dylid parchu DJ a rhoi budd yr amheuaeth iddo am ei benderfyniad yn hytrach na chael ei feirniadu a'i lusgo trwy'r mwd am sefyll i fyny drosto'i hun.
Yn ystod gweddill y darllediad, Tony “Y Tornado” Mae Penecale yn manylu ar ei noson allan yn y 2300 Arena yn Philadelphia am gerdyn ymladd dan arweiniad Hank Lundy. Mae hefyd yn ail-ddal Fonfara vs.. Stevenson II ac yn galw'r ymladd “gwarth.”
“Psychic” Mae Tom Padgett yn ymuno â rhywfaint o ddadansoddiad ôl-ymladd o Aldo vs.. Holloway. Mae hefyd yn rhagweld y bydd Mark Hunt yn elwa o fantais cawell cartref yn ei frwydr gyda Derrick Lewis y penwythnos hwn yn Noson Ymladd UFC 110 yn Seland Newydd.
Mae diweddariad hefyd ar achos cyfreithiol Hunt yn erbyn yr UFC a Brock Lesnar a llawer o ragolygon ac ail-ddaliadau ymladd eraill. Gwrandewch ar y darllediad cyfan i ddal i fyny ar yr hyn sy'n newydd mewn chwaraeon ymladd yr wythnos hon.
Tony Penecale (Gadawodd) and Lou Duva (hawl) at the Brockton, Massachusetts dedication of the Rocky Marciano statue.
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 pencampwyr y byd, and a man who had all his irons in the one fire that lit his life: bocsio. 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.
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.
Tom, Tony and Rich spend this week’s show catching up on the week’s major news in combat sports. We also preview upcoming fights in boxing and MMA. We highlight Mark Hunt’s recent lawsuit over a fight where Brock Lesnar tested positive for PEDs and discuss Ben Rothwell’s assessment of Travis Browne as a “Man Whore.” Listen to the hour long broadcast below.
