Bear with our early technical difficulties on this broadcast.

The show really gets rolling when the crystal ball reception gets cleared up. Tony gives us a profound Tornado Warning about life and Tom looks at old school versus new school in boxing terms in his "Psychic Vision." Rich gives us a run-down of the two biggest fights of the weekend in boxing. Agit Kabayel remained undefeated in a battle of heavyweight unbeatens, even after getting cut and outclassed in the opening round by the taller, lankier Damian Knyba. A bigger upset unfolded as Super Lightweight Boxer Dalton Smith remained undefeated with his nineteenth straight professional victory over Subriel Matias (now 23-3). Matias seemed to be taking control of the fight with Smith withering when the tide turned and Matias ended up wobbling all the way to the ground in a whirlwind of punches from Smith. The referee didn't give Matias much of an opportunity to recover when he rose to his feet and tried to continue. Both fights ended with quick, but justified stoppages designed to protect the fighter. We cover some other related and unrelated news and wrap up this show in just over an hour this week, barely giving much of a look at the first UFC event on Paramount coming up, which just suffered the loss of a co-main event matchup for the ages.

Ben Askren's successful lung transplant is also in the news thanks to what appears to be significant financial donations by the Tate brothers and Jake Paul.

This week Tom, Tony and Rich are back to talk about all things fighting. We start with a recap of UFC 316 and what seems to be the end of Sean O'Malley's hopes of regaining the title he lost to Merab Dvalishvili at the Sphere. The new look with no hair dye and his departure from social media and weed smoking obviously had little effect on his fighting style, as he was submitted early in the fight. Rich and Tom recap the rest of the card and call attention to UFC newcomer Patchy Mix laying an egg in his promotional debut. We then turn to the brawling Davis brothers who disrupted an ESPN boxing event after Keyshawn Davis failed to make weight for the fight that was supposed to headline the card. The brawl is also the subject of Tony's "Tornado Warning" segment this week. We cover the rest of the boxing results and look ahead to the weekend's major boxing action, which includes the return of Nonito Donaire. Tony also breaks down Richardson Hitchins versus George Kambosos Jr., who had their own brawl at the final press conference for their Saturday night bout. Finally, Rich and Tom look ahead to UFC on ESPN 69, pitting UFC veteran and former longtime champion Kamaru Usman against the streaking Joaquin Buckley in the main event.

This week's show features an interview with Boxer Angel Manfredy (43-8-1, 32 KOs), who has great boxing stories and a tale of two nicknames. "Got Jesus" was one of his nicknames, while "El Diablo" was another one that stuck with him earlier in his career after he survived a car accident. We cover lots of ground with Angel and take him back to one of his most triumphant wins over the late, great Arturo Gatti. He also tells us exactly how it felt to become a World Champion. We also cover a lot of combat sports ground in the rest of the episode. We start with a recap of the UFC on ESPN 68 card that lost the main event fight minutes before it was supposed to start. Erin Blanchfield was not too happy to find out her opponent Maycee Barber was not cleared to fight after reportedly suffering a seizure. Rich didn't like the cancellation, either. He recounts the results of his three pending bets he had going into the main event fight that never happened on Saturday. He still won $106 out of a possible $270 in winnings if the fight ended with a submission win for Blanchfield in under 4.5 rounds, but it was aggravating to see the fight cancelled at the last second.Tom, Tony and Rich also looked back on the biggest boxing matches of last week with Caleb Plant falling in a massive upset to Jose Armando Resendiz by split decision and Jermall Charlo beating Thoms Lamanna by 6th round knockout. We also look ahead at the weekend's boxing schedule before moving on to Tony's weekly Tornado Warning and Tom's Psychic Vision segment. Finally, we preview UFC 316 with a big rematch in store for Merab Dvalishvili and "Suga" Sean O'Malley. Rich and Tom break down the main card and prelim fights with Rich giving his best bets for each bout.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/fight-talk-unlimited--3082453/support.
