    Fight 14 Round 11 - Usyk Tested / Inoue Dominates / WBO & IBF

    The heavyweight division just got more interesting, Naoya Inoue is the undisputed No. 1 fighter on the planet, and two sanctioning bodies just formed the first defensive alliance in boxing history. It's been that kind of week. On this episode , we break down everything that matters. Frank Sanchez stops Richard Torrez Jr. in two rounds at the Pyramids of Giza — a perfectly scouted counter right uppercut, a carefully managed prospect exposed at the first serious test of his career, and an IBF mandatory shot at Usyk now on the table. We get into Inoue's unanimous decision over Nakatani at the Tokyo Dome — 55,000 in attendance, two unbeaten fighters, and a result that moved Inoue to No. 1 on every major pound-for-pound list simultaneously for the first time in his career. Then we cover the fight the weekly package was built around: the WBO and IBF announcing a formal alliance against Zuffa Boxing — the first time two major sanctioning bodies have coordinated against a single promoter, and what it signals about where the sport's power structure is heading. Plus Benavidez TKO6 Zurdo — three-weight world champion, Canelo manufacturing excuses in real time, and the Bivol fight that the rankings now demand. Usyk's controversial R11 stoppage of Verhoeven, the scorecards that made it genuinely complicated, and why the Joshua fight now has real questions attached to it. We close out previewing next week — we'll be on the ground at the International Boxing Hall of Fame induction weekend in Canastota, New York. Full coverage, ringside access, and the conversations you don't get anywhere else. The Corner. For the people who already know.

    Fight 14 Round 10 - Monster Night is Here! Ali Reform Act

    Tokyo Dome. Congress. The heavyweight division. All in one week. On this episode of The Corner, we break down Naoya Inoue vs. Junto Nakatani — two unbeaten fighters, identical 32-0 records, one undisputed super bantamweight title on the line at the biggest boxing event in Japanese history. We get into the stylistic matchup, what Nakatani's southpaw stance and 4-inch height advantage actually means against the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet, and what happens next for whoever loses. Then we cover the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act hearings — why fighter protections keep getting debated in Washington and why sanctioning bodies, promotional contracts, and state-by-state regulation still make boxing the least protected professional sport in America. Plus the full weekly roundup: Fury-Joshua officially signed for Q4 on Netflix, Zayas vs. Boots Ennis confirmed for June 27, Benavidez moving up to cruiserweight, and every result and callout from the past seven days.
