Mike Safo with former lightweight champion, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini

Joined today by former lightweight champion, the pride of Youngstown, Ohio, Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini. Ray comes on and clears up an urban legend from Mike’s family involving a game of ping pong and his grandfather. The champ then talks about the Errol Spence v. Mikey Garcia fight, hanging out at Jerry's World down in Dallas and the current state of boxing. We hear what brought Mancini to the broadcaster’s booth, what he loves about it and how he prepares for a fight. We have some fun talking about his other ventures like his podcast, memorabilia and his social media knowledge. From his controversial loss against Hector Camacho to why he switched to Southpaw. Check out his book "The Good Son" by Mark Kriegel.  Follow boom boom on twitter: https://twitter.com/realboomboom Check out his podcast here ?https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIGo5HlDZfppEjZ_L-ZzWVA Order his roots of fight merchandise here: https://www.rootsoffight.com/collections/ray-mancini
