The B's of Boxing - Usyk is fooling everyone
from What’s A Work - Combat Sports Entertainment · host Thelawliveaudiowrestling
This week on The B’s of Boxing, Steve Swift looks around the sport and realizes we might be living in No Country for Old Old Men. Manny Pacquiao is out here defying Father Time like it owes him money, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is still cashing checks so effortlessly it should be an Olympic event, and Mike Tyson is training like he just found out the year is 1988 again. Are these inspiring late-career runs… or are we one weigh-in away from someone pulling a hamstring tying their robe? Steve breaks down whether boxing is honoring legends — or running the greatest “remember when?” tour since your favorite 90s boy band. Meanwhile, Oleksandr Usyk continues to smile politely while dismantling giants, leading Steve to confirm that yes, he is in fact Keyser Söze — softly spoken, mildly amused, and somehow leaving entire heavyweight lineages limping away questioning their life choices. We also dive into why Mexican fighters are the most fan-friendly athletes on planet Earth (seriously, they show up to throw hands, not interpretive dance), and whether Conor Benn is boxing’s newest “flavor of the week” — exciting, spicy, and possibly gone by next Tuesday. Analysis, chaos, and at least three moments where Steve asks, “What are we doing here?” Don’t miss it.
