Rives returns with insider Dan Rafael of BigFightWeekend.com to go over it all starting with the fights, including the Josh Taylor WBO junior welterweight crown against former lightweight title holder Teofimo Lopez from Top Rank/ESPN. This highly anticipated bout is in NYC as Taylor fights for the first time in over a year against Lopez, who's struggling mentally outside of the ring.
