Dan Canobbio and Chris Algieri open the show discussing Oleksandr Usyk’s late-round stoppage of Rico Verhoeven, including the controversy, Verhoeven’s outstanding performance, and whether Usyk has finally lost a step. Will we see a rematch or will Usyk finally face Agit Kabayel (00:28)? Frank Sanchez scored an emphatic knockout over Richard Torrez that left the boxing world stunned. With the win, Sanchez became the mandatory for Usyk’s IBF belt. Where does Torrez go from here (34:30)? The boys also break down the rest of the main card, which saw Hamzah Sheeraz capture his first world title against an overmatched Alem Begic and Jack Catterall’s dominant win over Shakhram Giyasov, which lines up some big future fights (44:28). Finally, on Friday night, fast-rising prospect Amari Jones scored a quick knockout of Vincenzo Gualtieri, which puts him one step closer to a middleweight title shot (52:32).
