    Did this weekend RUIN boxing?

    This week on The B's of Boxing with Steve Swift: Are boxing's biggest stars being protected with carefully selected opponents, or are the so-called superfights becoming anything but? We break down the latest questionable matchups involving Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Teofimo Lopez, Rolly Romero, and Devin Haney. Plus, DAZN is making major moves...again—but are they reshaping boxing for the better or simply chasing headlines? And finally, whatever happened to Errol Spence Jr.? We look at the stunning fall from pound-for-pound king to one of boxing's biggest unanswered questions. Hot takes, sharp analysis, and plenty of boxing BS—you won't want to miss this one.

    Religion and Pro Wrestling ( audio only )

    🔥 THE LAW – LIVE Sunday | Religion in Pro Wrestling 🔥 Is faith in pro wrestling sincere, part of the performance, or sometimes used as the ultimate gimmick? This Sunday, The LAW dives headfirst into one of wrestling's most controversial topics.

    The B's of Boxing - Inoue vs Rodriguez confirmed?

    This week on The B's of Boxing, Steve Swift dives into the biggest rumors shaking up the sport. Did Zuffa Boxing secretly promise Shakur Stevenson a mystery mega-fight to lure him over? And is boxing on the verge of getting its next pound-for-pound super fight as Naoya Inoue and Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez inch closer to becoming reality? Big names, bold predictions, and plenty of B.S.—the boxing kind. Don't miss it!

    The LAW - Sunday LIve - Crowds are down and we know why

    Is wrestling's history full of brilliant ideas... or absolute nonsense?

    Sunday Live LAW - Did Bully Ray work everyone?

    Did Bully Ray just pull off the biggest wrestling con of the year, or did everyone see it coming?

    Boots to Asses

    Can Jaron "Boots" Ennis become boxing's next all-time great, or is the hype getting ahead of reality? We also ask the question nobody saw coming—is Deontay Wilder vs. Oleksandr Usyk actually closer to happening than anyone thinks? And after months of uncertainty, will Gervonta "Tank" Davis ever step back into the ring? Steve Swift breaks down the biggest stories, hottest rumors, and gives his trademark no-BS takes on the sport. If you're a boxing fan, this is one episode you don't want to miss! 🥊🔥

    The Law Live Sunday show - Huge Announcements and bigger beefs (audio only)

    The LAW – Live Audio Wrestling is LIVE this Sunday and we've got enough hot takes to get us banned from at least three wrestling locker rooms. This week we dive into the latest TNA Wrestling releases and ask the question everyone is thinking: what's next for Tommy Dreamer, Sami Callihan, and the rest of the departing crew? Plus, Turki Al-Sheikh drops another shocking announcement that has the combat sports world wondering if he's playing chess while everyone else is eating the pieces. And speaking of questionable decisions, did the UFC blow their entire load with UFC Freedom 250? Was it the biggest event ever... or did Dana White empty the clip too soon? Join Chris Tidwell, Bradie Whetham, and the LAW crew for wrestling, MMA, boxing, laughs, sarcasm, and at least one opinion that will make somebody on the internet irrationally angry. LIVE. Loud. Unfiltered. Probably regrettable.

    Misfits or Matchroom ? Did they both deliver? ( audio only)

    This week on The B's of Boxing, Steve Swift asks the question nobody expected to ask in 2026: Which boxing show was actually more entertaining? Was it Matchroom's world-title clash between Bam Rodriguez and Antonio Vargas, where elite skills, championship stakes, and pound-for-pound talent were on display? Or was it Misfits Boxing's circus attraction featuring Tommy Fury vs. Eddie Hall, where size mismatches, social media drama, and pure chaos stole headlines? We'll break down what worked, what didn't, and whether boxing fans are becoming more interested in spectacle than sport. Plus, what exactly is a "No Punches To The Face" match? Is it boxing, is it fighting, or is it just two grown men playing the world's most violent game of body-shot tag? Championship boxing versus influencer entertainment. Skill versus spectacle. Sweet science versus social media madness. Boxing vs Boxing?? Which show was better?

  10. 91

    The B's of Boxing - Was that the greatest fight EVER? ( audio only )

    This week on The B's of Boxing, Steve Swift asks the questions the boxing world is afraid to answer... Is Dana White really a potato head, or is he just evolving into one? We break down Dana's latest war of words with Eddie Hearn in what appears to be less of a promotional battle and more of a playground argument between two billionaires who forgot they aren't 12 years old. Meanwhile, Tyson Fury says he's back, but does he really need a tune-up fight, or is the Gypsy King just looking for someone he can beat while shaking off the ring rust and barbecue sauce? With Oleksandr Usyk seemingly running out of people to conquer, we ask what's next for the pound-for-pound king? Another heavyweight? A cruiserweight? Or should he just start collecting world leaders like Pokémon? And finally, Rico Verhoeven keeps talking, but will the whining hurt his chances of becoming a boxing star? At what point does self-promotion become a hostage negotiation? All this, terrible opinions, questionable analysis, and at least one joke that will probably get us blocked on social media, this week on The B's of Boxing with Steve Swift.

    Sunday Law "live-ish" -

    This week on The LAW - Live Audio Wrestling, KJ and Steve Swift join Bradie and T.I.D. for another completely responsible and highly professional discussion... which immediately goes off the rails. Did Ryan Rozicki just do the impossible and put Zuffa Boxing on the map before they even got the GPS working? The crew debates whether Canada's favorite wrecking machine has become the face of boxing's newest promotion. Then it's lucha time! Is Penta actually doing more to bring new fans to lucha libre than Rey Mysterio Jr. did, or are we all just getting caught up in the power of pointing at cameras and yelling obscure Spanish catchphrases? Meanwhile, has Dana White finally started getting into Eddie Hearn's head? Is Eddie playing chess, checkers, or just yelling into microphones while Dana steals all the headlines? And speaking of legends, why are wrestling fans still completely obsessed with Mick Foley? Is it the Hell in a Cell? The sock puppet? The fact he somehow survived the 1990s? Or is mankind's greatest mystery simply... Mankind? Plus all the latest UFC, WWE, boxing and wrestling news, wild opinions, questionable facts, and at least three moments where Steve Swift wonders how the conversation ended up here. The LAW — where the takes are hot, the logic is optional, and nobody escapes unscathed.

    Rozicki vs CBS - Special Report

    This week on The LAW, Bradie and T.I.D. break down Ryan Rozicki's biggest fight yet against Chris Billam-Smith and ask the question every Canadian boxing fan is thinking... Can Rozicki finally punch his way to world title glory? Plus, Bradie launches an investigation into the bigger mystery: WHAT IS T.I.D. ON?! After losing weight, exercising, and showing signs of personal growth, friends and family are concerned. Is it peptides? Vitamins? Witchcraft? We demand answers. World title boxing, conspiracy theories, and absolutely no expert medical opinions. Just another week on The LAW.

    No Glory In Giza - Boxing Exposed

    NO GLORY IN GIZA! This week on The B’s of Boxing, Steve Swift and the crew dive head first into the absolute CHAOS that was the “Glory in Giza” card live from the pyramids of Egypt. Did Oleksandr Usyk survive… or did boxing get EXPOSED by kickboxing king Rico Verhoeven? The boys break down the controversial stoppage that has fight fans screaming robbery after Verhoeven pushed Usyk harder than almost anybody expected — with some fans even having Rico ahead on the scorecards before the dramatic 11th-round finish. Was it a legit stoppage… or boxing protecting its throne? Plus, the panel talks about all the shockers and upsets from the undercard including Hamzah Sheeraz continuing his wild rise after another statement performance, and the growing feeling that crossover combat sports athletes may be catching up to traditional boxers faster than anyone wants to admit. Expect outrageous takes, conspiracy theories, laughter, Steve Swift losing his mind at least twice, and the crew asking the real question: Did boxing leave Egypt victorious… or leave exposed in front of the entire world? All this and more on this week’s episode of The B’s of Boxing!

    The B's of Boxing - Can Benavidez beat the best heavyweights?

    This week on The B’s of Boxing with Steve Swift, we’re diving headfirst into one of the wildest fantasy debates in boxing right now — could David Benavidez actually beat Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Oleksandr Usyk? Steve breaks down the styles, the size differences, the power, the madness, and whether “The Mexican Monster” is being underestimated or if boxing fans have officially lost their minds. Expect hot takes, laughs, controversy, and the kind of boxing talk that gets fight fans screaming at the screen.   Video Version

    The Law LIVE show - May 17, 2026

    KJ may be missing this week, but chaos never takes a day off on The LAW – Live Audio Wrestling! Lil Bradie, Steve Swift, and Chris Tidwell hold down the fort as they dive headfirst into the wild worlds of Marty Jannetty, D-Von Dudley, Ronda Rousey, Nate Diaz, Dana White and whatever other madness shows up uninvited. From wrestling legends and MMA meltdowns to questionable life decisions and stories that probably shouldn’t be told on-air, this episode has everything except adult supervision. Will Steve Swift keep the show on track? Will Lil Bradie stir the pot? Will Chris accidentally start another controversy? Probably not… but also absolutely yes. Tune in for laughs, arguments, hot takes, and the kind of energy that makes KJ glad he booked the week off. Video version of the show is available at youtube.com/@whatsawork

    A Tale Of 2 Monsters ( audio only )

    On this week’s The B’s Of Boxing, we try to answer the most important question in combat sports: what happens when TWO certified monsters go out for a casual night of violence… and both win? 🥊 Naoya Inoue continues to make boxing look like a video game set on “easy mode,” while David Benavidez punches like he’s personally offended by the concept of opponents. We break down how both guys dominated, why nobody seems excited to fight them next, and whether the rest of their divisions are currently updating their résumés for a career change. Expect wild takes, questionable logic, and at least one moment where we convince ourselves these two should fight each other just for chaos (and then immediately remember weight classes exist… unfortunately). It’s power, skill, and pure destruction—A Tale Of 2 MONSTERS—served with laughs, hot takes, and the usual nonsense you’ve come to expect.

  17. 84

    Is the money leaving boxing ( audio only )

    On The B’s of Boxing, Steve and Chris dive into the million-dollar question: Is the money leaving boxing… or just changing locker rooms? With Turki Al-Sheikh shaking up the sport, giant paydays, surprise events, and promoters sweating through designer suits, the guys break down whether boxing’s gold rush is slowing down or just getting started somewhere else. Expect hot takes, sarcasm, and at least one completely irresponsible financial prediction involving Oscar De La Hoya checking under the couch cushions for loose change.

  18. 83

    Sabu vs Funk - Duck 2 watch the barbwire

    On this episode of Good Times Classic Wrestling Reviews, Steve and KJ dive headfirst into the absolute madness of Sabu vs Terry Funk in the legendary Barbed Wire Match—a bout where safety was optional, blood was guaranteed, and common sense was nowhere to be found. The boys break down every insane moment, from wild chair shots to barbed wire carnage, while asking the real question: was this wrestling art… or just two maniacs making terrible life choices? Expect laughs, chaos, and enough old-school violence to make today’s HR departments faint.

  19. 82

    Is Ben Whittaker ready for a BIG belt ( audio only )

    This week on The B’s of Boxing, Steve and Chris ask the big question: Is Ben Whittaker actually ready for a belt, or are we still watching the world’s flashiest apprenticeship? The talent is obvious, the charisma is off the charts, and the man moves around the ring like he’s trying to win Dancing with the Stars and a boxing match at the same time. But flashy entrances, highlight-reel moves, and social media clips don’t come with championship straps — they come with pressure. We break down whether Ben’s slick style can hold up once he’s trapped in deep waters with a hungry veteran who didn’t come to admire the footwork. Is he the next superstar of British boxing… or just boxing’s most entertaining unfinished project? Either way, grab a drink and tune in, because this one gets gloriously disrespectful.

  20. 81

    Ryan Rozicki signs with Zuffa ( audio only )

     Zuffa Boxing signing Canadian wrecking ball Ryan Rozicki — a man who fights like somebody just insulted his entire family at a barbecue. Steve and Chris break down what this move means, who should be brave enough (or foolish enough) to welcome him to the roster, and which matchups would have fans screaming while promoters hide behind office plants. Do they throw him in with a slick boxer? A washed-up name looking for one last payday? Or another human chainsaw who also believes defense is for cowards? Expect bold takes, bad jokes, reckless matchmaking, and at least one completely unnecessary Jack Dempsey comparison before the show is over.

  21. 80

    Good Times - Sabu vs Sandman ( audio only )

    At Good Times - Classic Wrestling Reviews, we cracked open the beautiful dumpster fire that was 1997 ECW November to Remember: Sabu vs The Sandman—a match that felt less like professional wrestling and more like two lunatics settling a bar tab with household furniture. Sabu flew around the ring like gravity owed him money, launching himself into danger with the decision-making skills of a man who thinks “hospital bill” is a personality trait. Meanwhile, The Sandman stomped in looking like the guy who got kicked out of three taverns before bell time, swinging his cane like he was trying to discipline the entire front row. Chairs bent, bodies crashed, and the laws of workplace safety filed for divorce. It was violent, chaotic, gloriously stupid, and exactly why ECW still lives rent-free in the minds of wrestling fans who believe blood loss is a valid star rating system.

  22. 79

    Did Tyson Fury look "Good Enough" (audio only)

    This week on The B’s of Boxing, Steve and Chris dive headfirst into the chaos—starting with Tyson Fury loudly calling for Anthony Joshua while fans are sitting there wondering if he just swerved the real danger lurking elsewhere. Is Fury chasing legacy… or just the safer payday? Then things get spicy as Conor Benn starts sniffing around Ryan Garcia, which sounds less like a superfight and more like a “someone’s getting humbled” situation waiting to happen. And if that wasn’t enough drama, Zuffa Boxing is back at it, reportedly scooping up even MORE of Eddie Hearn’s fighters like it’s a clearance sale—raising the question: who’s next to jump ship? It’s bold moves, questionable decisions, and just the right amount of boxing madness to keep things interesting.

    UFC 327 aftermath

    UFC 327 is in the books, and the Weigh-Ins Bros are coming in hot because this one delivered the kind of chaos you can’t script. From highlight-reel finishes to questionable judging that already has the internet in a full-blown meltdown, this card had everything—except maybe a calm moment. The boys break down who showed up like a future star and who might’ve just fumbled their spot on the roster, while also diving into the real story: the aftermath. Callouts flying, egos exploding, and the UFC already teasing what’s next like a dealer keeping you hooked—UFC 327 wasn’t just a fight card, it was a launchpad for the next wave of drama. And you already know, the Bros aren’t letting any of it slide.

  24. 77

    Could this week be any "Wilder" ( audio only )

    This week on The B’s of Boxing, Steve Swift and Chris Tidwell dive headfirst into the chaos, starting with Deontay Wilder deciding he’s not done terrifying heavyweights—or audio engineers’ eardrums—with a comeback that feels like a horror movie sequel nobody asked for but everyone’s still gonna watch. Meanwhile, Conor Benn shows up looking like he joined a boy band mid-scandal with the new blonde hair and is now ready to punch people under the Zuffa Boxing banner. The boys also riff on the week’s other madness—promoters acting like used car salesmen, fighters calling each other out on Instagram instead of, you know, fighting, and at least three “super fights” that will absolutely, definitely, 100% happen… right after Bigfoot signs with Matchroom. It’s messy, it’s ridiculous, and Steve and Chris are here to break it all down with just enough sarcasm to make you question why you love this sport—and why you’re still watching anyway.

  25. 76

    Who is jumping to Zuffa Boxing next? (audio only)

    Steve Swift and Chris are back on The B’s of Boxing, and this week they’re playing full-on boxing insiders… or at least pretending to be after a couple drinks. The boys dive headfirst into the chaos that is Zuffa Boxing, throwing out wild (and maybe not-so-wild) predictions on who’s gonna cash in and jump ship next. Chris is convinced the “money talks” era is about to snatch up a few frustrated contenders who are tired of waiting in line, while Steve’s got his eye on at least one big-name star who’s been suspiciously quiet lately—yeah, the kind of quiet that screams “new contract incoming.” Between side-eyes at promoters, jokes about loyalty being worth exactly $0.00, and the reality that fighters go where the checks are fattest, the guys break it down like only they can—half analysis, half chaos, and 100% calling out the game for what it is. “It’s not about legacy anymore,” Steve laughs, “it’s about who’s wiring the biggest bag… and Zuffa might be backing up the truck.” 💰🥊

  26. 75

    The REAL reason for Mayweather vs Pacquiao rematch

    The B’s of Boxing is back and we’re diving headfirst into the most “we swear this is about legacy” fight of the decade—Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Manny Pacquiao…again. Look, nobody’s buying the fairy tale—this isn’t Rocky Balboa, this is two all-time greats dusting off the gloves like they found them in a luxury tax audit. Floyd’s still undefeated, Manny’s still a national hero, and somehow both guys still found a reason to come back—coincidentally right around the time accountants start asking spicy questions. Don’t get it twisted, we’ll watch it, you’ll watch it, your neighbor who hasn’t seen a fight since 2009 will watch it—but let’s call it what it is: the most expensive midlife crisis in sports history, sponsored by “just one more payday.”

  27. 74

    MMA promoter is being picked on? (audio only)

    On this week’s Weigh-Ins Bros. Combat Sports Show, the boys tackle the absolute circus that is Dana White being everyone’s favorite punching bag—even when he’s the one writing the checks. One minute he’s the kingpin mastermind who turned cage fighting into a billion-dollar monster, and the next he’s getting dragged like he personally canceled your Uber Eats order. The Bros break down how Dana somehow catches heat for everything—bad judging, fighter pay, bad fights, bad haircuts in the crowd—like he’s sitting backstage pulling strings like some bald, tomato-headed supervillain. But let’s be honest, the man doesn’t exactly help himself either; he talks spicy, acts louder than a drunk uncle at Christmas, and then seems shocked when the internet lights him up like a cheap firework. Is he unfairly targeted? Maybe. Has he also built a persona that practically screams “come at me”? Absolutely. Either way, love him or hate him, Dana White is the only guy in combat sports who can be blamed for a bad main event and still sell you the next one five minutes later—and you’ll probably buy it anyway.

  28. 73

    ECW Wrestling really did this. (Audio only)

    Steve and KJ are back on Good Times Classic Wrestling Reviews, diving headfirst into one of ECW’s most gloriously chaotic trainwrecks: Bill Alfonso vs. Beulah McGillicutty—a match that feels less like a wrestling contest and more like your loudest family argument after three bottles of cheap wine. From Alfonso’s whistle-blowing insanity to Beulah dishing out punishment like she’s settling every grudge she’s ever had, this one is equal parts ridiculous, brutal, and downright unhinged. The guys break down the madness, the moments that make you laugh, cringe, and question your life choices, and why only ECW could turn something this absurd into must-watch carnage. It’s loud, it’s messy, and it’s exactly the kind of beautiful disaster that keeps wrestling fans coming back for more.

  29. 72

    Is Tommy Fury a bully?

    The Fury name is supposed to be boxing royalty—like castles, crowns, and Tyson Fury out there moving like a 6’9” drunk ballerina who can somehow fight—but Tommy Fury is taking the legacy in a slightly more chaotic direction… by squaring up with a literal human forklift. Eddie Hall looks like the kind of guy who eats dumbbells for breakfast and washes it down with engine oil, while Tommy’s in there posing like he just stepped out of a Love Island afterparty with something to prove. And now he’s basically bullying Eddie like this is recess and he’s the kid who already hit puberty twice. The problem? Eddie doesn’t throw punches—he launches natural disasters. One clean swing and Tommy might wake up in a different postcode wondering why his ancestors are giving him a standing ovation. So yeah, this is less “technical boxing masterclass” and more “what happens when a Fury tries to out-alpha a man built like a collapsed building?” Legacy fight? Maybe. Absolute chaos with two blokes trying to delete each other? 100 percent.

  30. 71

    Can Moses Itauma lead the next generation of boxers?

    Is Moses Itauma really the chosen one to drag heavyweight boxing into its next era—or are we all getting a little too carried away with the hype train? On this week’s The B’s of Boxing, we dive headfirst into the chaos: a young wrecking machine with scary power, unreal composure, and belts already stacking up like he’s speedrunning the division. But standing in his shadow are the ghosts of greatness—Ali’s charisma, Tyson’s menace, Fury’s madness, Usyk’s genius—so the real question is: can Moses just be great, or does he have to be that great? We break down whether he’s the future king… or just the next name we crowned way too early.

  31. 70

    UFC Fighters want out? ( audio only )

    This week on The B’s of Boxing, the boys are swinging wild and not checking the scorecards. First up, Ben Whittaker is out here shadowboxing his own hype—so who’s the poor soul that actually makes sense as his next opponent? Somebody real? Somebody dangerous? Or just another victim for the highlight reel? Then it’s time to ask the question nobody in a suit wants answered: is Conor Benn really the golden boy that could make Zuffa Boxing pop… or is this whole thing one big “trust me bro” from Zuffa Boxing? And finally, things get spicy—are UFC fighters quietly packing their bags after the Tom Aspinall situation, or is this just another case of fighters tweeting through the pain while Dana counts money? It’s bold takes, bad behavior, and just enough truth to get us in trouble—exactly how you like it.

  32. 69

    Boxing Champion Punished (audio only)

    This week on The B’s of Boxing, Steve Swift and Chris dive into the absolute soap opera surrounding cruiserweight wrecking machine Jai Opetaia and his increasingly spicy situation with the International Boxing Federation. After the IBF decided to pull sanctioning for his fight and basically tell one of the most exciting champions in the sport to go sit in the corner and think about what he’s done, Opetaia’s team is now reportedly exploring legal action—and the boys have a lot of thoughts. Is this just another alphabet-body power trip, or did Opetaia commit the ultimate sin in boxing… working with the wrong promoters and not kissing the ring? Steve and Chris break down the bureaucratic nonsense, the politics, the lawyers sharpening their knives, and why boxing somehow remains the only sport where the champion can win a fight and still get grounded like a teenager who missed curfew. Buckle up—because when boxing sanctioning bodies start making “sense,” you know something shady is probably happening. 🥊😆

    Pro Wrestling has done it again

    On this episode of  The Law – Live Audio Wrestling, Chris and Bradie dig into two stories that show the darker side of the wrestling business that fans rarely think about. First, they break down the frightening moment at an OVW event where a referee suffered a serious injury in the ring and how situations like that expose just how little protection officials often have compared to the wrestlers they’re trying to keep under control. Then the conversation takes a much heavier turn as they discuss the tragic death of a wrestling trainee in Ontario, raising tough questions about training standards, safety, and the risks people take chasing the dream of becoming a pro wrestler. As always on The Law, Chris and Bradie mix hard truths, a little gallows humor, and plenty of straight talk about an industry that can be thrilling, chaotic, and sometimes heartbreakingly dangerous. ** WARNING** - contains serious conversation that some may find offends them.

  34. 67

    Good Times gets Extreme

    This week on Good Times Classic Wrestling Reviews, Steve and KJ dive head-first into the beautiful chaos of ECW Wrestlepalooza 1997, breaking down the legendary war between Raven and Tommy Dreamer—a match featuring more weapons, drama, and emotional baggage than a reality show reunion special. Dreamer is out for revenge, Raven is brooding like a goth kid who just discovered poetry, and the crowd is louder than a bar full of Philly fans after last call. But wait… things get even more ridiculous when “The King” Jerry Lawler shows up to stir the pot, insult the entire ECW roster, and generally act like the world’s most well-dressed wrestling troll. Steve and KJ relive every chair shot, every wild moment, and every over-the-top ECW antic with the kind of adult humor that would probably get them banned from commentary in 1997. If you like hardcore wrestling, outrageous storytelling, and two hosts laughing like they just saw someone get hit with a shopping cart, this episode is absolute must-listen chaos. 🎙️😂🪑

    Good Times - Extreme Wrestlers Break the Ring

    On this week’s Good Times Classic Wrestling Review, the guys crack open a few cold ones and relive the absolute car crash of violence that was ECW Living Dangerously 1998, featuring the legendary meat-slapping showdown between Taz and Bam Bam Bigelow. The hosts marvel at the fact that Taz—built like an angry fire hydrant—spent the match trying to suplex a man the size of a vending machine, while Bigelow moved around the ring like a surprisingly athletic refrigerator with tattoos. The crowd at the ECW Arena was so loud they sounded like they’d been locked in a bar for six hours and fed nothing but rage and cheap beer. The guys laugh about the insane ring-collapse spot, debate whether the ring broke from physics or pure ECW insanity, and conclude that this match perfectly represents Extreme Championship Wrestling—two large, angry humans trying to destroy each other while the audience cheers like absolute maniacs. And honestly… wrestling is rarely better than that. 🍺💥

    UFC Does NOT Listen To Their Fans (audio only)

    The boys are back and the gloves are off on this week’s The Weigh-Ins Bros. Combat Sports Show—and let’s just say… the announced fights for the so-called historic card at the White House have the Bros staring at the bout sheet like it’s a gas station sushi menu. Confusion, regret, and a lot of questions about life choices. The guys break down the official matchups from the Ultimate Fighting Championship and try—try—to understand how a once-in-a-lifetime venue somehow ended up with fights that feel more like a random Tuesday night at the Apex. Is this really the best the UFC could do for a global spectacle… or did someone accidentally hit “autofill” on the matchmaking spreadsheet? Expect rants. Lots of rants. The Bros ask the uncomfortable question: has the UFC lost touch with the fans that built the sport? From questionable matchmaking to missed superstar opportunities, the guys go full conspiracy board trying to figure out how we went from dream fights to “wait… that’s the co-main?” If you enjoy passionate debates, sarcastic breakdowns, and grown men dramatically reading fight announcements like they’re Shakespearean tragedies, this episode is for you. Grab a drink, because the Weigh-Ins Bros are about to grade the White House card—and someone is definitely getting a failing grade. 🥊🎙️

    UFC White House Predictions (audio only)

    The Weigh-In Bros. Combat Sports Show is back and this week the boys are asking the question nobody thought they’d ever hear outside of a fever dream after too many energy drinks: is the UFC really putting a fight card at the White House? That’s right — the lawn where presidents give speeches might soon be the same place where someone gets spinning-back-kicked into another dimension. The Bros break down the most ridiculous and glorious possibilities for this historic card, including whether Jon Jones will headline the show like the final boss of MMA, and whether the UFC tries to turn the event into the combat sports version of the Super Bowl… except instead of halftime shows we get people punching each other in the face while a bald guy in a suit screams about pay-per-view numbers. But the real debate gets spicy: who crashes the party? Does Tom Aspinall show up to unify the heavyweight title and ruin everyone’s patriotic barbecue? Does the UFC somehow convince Francis Ngannou to come back and launch uppercuts so powerful they temporarily change the rotation of the Earth? Or does Dana White decide subtlety is overrated and book something so insane that Secret Service agents have to explain to world leaders why there’s a cage next to the Rose Garden? The Bros break down all the possibilities with their usual mix of fight nerd analysis, terrible predictions, and jokes that would absolutely get them banned from Thanksgiving dinner at most normal households. Buckle up — this episode is chaos.

    The B's of Boxing - Usyk is fooling everyone

    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.

    Is this the worst match EVER ? (audio only)

    This week on Good Times – Classic Wrestling Reviews, KJ and Steve bravely step into the chaos that is Hulk Hogan vs. The Ultimate Warrior from WCW Halloween Havoc 1998 — a match so strange it feels less like a wrestling main event and more like a late-night fever dream after too much pizza. WCW promised fans the rematch of two immortal legends, but instead delivered a surreal circus of smoke, mirrors, rambling Warrior promos, and Hogan looking like a man who immediately regretted agreeing to this. KJ and Steve try to make sense of Warrior’s cosmic ramblings, Hogan’s over-the-top theatrics, and a storyline that somehow felt both overly complicated and completely pointless at the same time. 🤯💪 Then the guys break down the match itself — a slow-motion spectacle featuring missed cues, confused referees, and the legendary mirror spot that has to be seen to be believed. Of course, no discussion would be complete without the infamous fireball mishap that looked less like mystical destruction and more like a backyard barbecue accident. KJ and Steve debate whether this disaster is actually entertaining because of how ridiculous it is, or if it’s simply proof that WCW in 1998 had completely lost the plot. Either way, this is peak “so bad it’s good” wrestling, and the laughs come almost as frequently as the botches. 🔥😂

    Who is leaving Eddie next? ( audio only )

    This week’s episode kicked off with the bombshell news that Conor Benn has officially signed with Zuffa Boxing, ending his long-time relationship with Matchroom and Eddie Hearn in favor of a lucrative, reported eight-figure one-fight deal with Dana White’s new promotional outfit — a huge statement in the boxing world as Zuffa continues its early-year push to establish itself. Benn spoke about chasing “legacy fights” and “the biggest stages,” while White has made it clear that this is just the beginning of Zuffa’s aggressive expansion in the sport. The guys on the podcast broke down what this move means not just for Benn’s career but for the growing rivalry between traditional promoters and Zuffa as it tries to rewrite boxing’s power dynamics. The conversation then shifted to Ryan Garcia’s big night, as he delivered a dominant performance against Mario Barrios to claim the WBC welterweight title, dropping Barrios early and controlling the fight throughout. In the post-fight buzz, Garcia immediately called out Shakur Stevenson instead of Benn, stirring debate about what Benn’s new promotional home means for potential matchups. The crew also looked ahead at who Zuffa might sign next, touching on rumors of other big names possibly joining the roster as Dana White pushes to build stacked cards — a topic sure to stay relevant as Zuffa’s momentum continues into the rest of 2026.

    Sean Strickland goes off the rails

    This week on Weigh-Ins Bros. Combat Sports Show, the guys dive headfirst into the latest headline-grabbing rant from Sean Strickland, breaking down his fiery comments about female fighters, his unexpected shots at Bad Bunny, and the broader fallout across the MMA landscape. As always, the Bros balance sharp analysis with unfiltered humor, debating whether Strickland’s chaos is calculated promotion or just classic Strickland being Strickland. The conversation spirals into a broader look at fighter free speech, media double standards, and how controversy fuels the fight game in 2026. The second half of the show shifts into fantasy matchmaking and what-if scenarios, including a heated debate over a superfight between Gina Carano and Ronda Rousey—who wins in their primes, and how big would it have been at its peak? The Bros also speculate on whether Cain Velasquez could make a shocking return on the rumored White House card, examining the political spectacle, the promotional upside, and whether the former heavyweight king still has one more run left in him. It’s a mix of nostalgia, controversy, and pure fight fan energy from start to finish.

    John Fury goes unhinged ( audio only )

    In this episode of The B’s of Boxing, the hosts dive head-first into the chaotic storm surrounding John Fury, dissecting his latest string of unhinged outbursts that have left the boxing community both baffled and exhausted. From his aggressive table-flipping antics at press conferences to his confrontational challenges toward anyone within earshot, the podcast explores whether "Big John" is a master promoter or a genuine liability to his son’s legacy. The discussion then shifts gears to the biggest power play in the sport: Dana White’s official launch of Zuffa Boxing. The B’s break down White’s aggressive "UFC-style" takeover, analyzing his move to strip away the "alphabet soup" of sanctioning bodies in favor of a streamlined eight-division weight class system that mirrors the MMA model. The episode reaches a fever pitch as the hosts speculate on the massive roster shift currently underway, with high-profile names already defecting to the new banner. With Jai Opetaia already secured as Zuffa’s first major champion, the conversation turns to the rumors swirling around heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk and the potential "heavyweight raid" that could see stalwarts like Deontay Wilder or even young phenoms like Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez tempted by the Paramount-backed platform. The B's of Boxing weigh the risks for these athletes—trading the freedom of the Ali Act for the centralized control of TKO Group—and predict which stars will be the next to jump ship as Dana White attempts to prove that the traditional boxing world is truly "broken" and ripe for his particular brand of fixing.

    Monster Trucks and Zero F**ks (audio only)

    The Good Times Classic Wrestling Reviews Podcast dives headfirst into one of the most bizarre and unforgettable spectacles in pro wrestling history: the WCW Halloween Havoc monster truck showdown between Hulk Hogan and The Giant. In this episode, the hosts break down the sheer insanity of two of wrestling’s biggest icons climbing into monster trucks and attempting to push each other off the roof of a building in a sumo-style contest. With their trademark mix of nostalgia, humor, and sharp analysis, the show explores how this segment perfectly captured the anything-can-happen chaos that defined mid-90s wrestling spectacle. Beyond just the shock value, the podcast examines the storytelling risks WCW took during this era and how moments like this became legendary for both the right and wrong reasons. The hosts reflect on the crowd reaction, the production choices, and the wild transition from monster trucks back into traditional wrestling action, all while celebrating the over-the-top creativity that keeps fans talking decades later. Whether you remember watching it live or are discovering it for the first time, this episode delivers laughs, insight, and a loving tribute to one of wrestling’s most surreal main event moments. #hulkhogan #wcw #monstertruck #prowrestling #podcast #wrestlingtalk

    Good Times - Pro Wrestler skid marks his undies (audio only)

    Picture this absolute fever dream of Attitude-Era chaos: a Hardcore Evening Gown Match between Pat Patterson and Gerald Briscoe at WWF King of the Ring, where dignity is out the window and pure ridiculousness takes center stage. You’ve got trash cans, kendo sticks, and maybe even a scepter getting involved while these two stooges of Mr. McMahon stumble around in evening gowns that cost more than the entire arena’s concession stand. The crowd is half shocked, half crying laughing as Patterson is swinging a cookie sheet and Briscoe is trying to escape up the aisle, heels and all. It’s the perfect blend of hardcore wrestling absurdity and classic WWF comedy — the kind of segment that makes you ask, “Did that really happen?” while also reminding you why late-90s wrestling was completely unhinged in the best possible way.
