Off the final weekend of February, host T.J. Rives and Dan Rafael, insider of BigFightWeekend.com are back to give you a full recap of the Tommy Fury defeat of Jake Paul Sunday night in Saudi Arabia. Plus, Saturday night's Subriel Matias TKO win for the IBF 140 lb. world title in Minnesota and more! It's the "Fight Freaks Unite Recap" Podcast. First up, the guys discuss Matias beating Jeremias Ponce in a tough 5 round battle to become a junior welterweight world champ. Did Ponce punch himself out early? What's Matias' short term future at 19-1 with 19 KOs? Dan gives his insight. He also has more on the undercard with Jamal "Shango" James and Elvis Rodriguez winning. Then, the guys get to the most prominent bout of the weekend and that was the cruiserweight main event for Queensberry Promotions and MVP Promotions as Tommy Fury, the half brother of WBC heavyweight champ Tommy Fury, defeated Jake Paul by eight round split decision. How did Fury get it done and how humbling is this for Paul, who had been on a real momentum roll for the last two years building his name as a boxer at the lower level. On the undercard, Badou Jack became a three division world champ with a dominant showing over WBC cruiserweight champ "Junior" Makabu in a 12th round TKO. At 39 Jack deserves a tremendous amount of credit, but Dan says to "hold up" on the talk of him being a hall of fame fighter. Finally the guys go over some news of the week regarding Keyshawn Davis, Ryota Murata of Japan and Jack Catterall of England. And, then it's nostalgia time as it's an anniversary of Mike Tyson kayoing British heavyweight icon at that time Frank Bruno. And, a dark day for boxing nearly 30 years ago with Nigel Benn scoring a devastating KO of Gerald McClellan that left have severely brain injured for the last three decades. Dan and T.J. talk how you, the fight fans, might wan to help McClellan's family!
