Beterbiev KO Of Yarde + Rocha KO In Golden Boy Main Event And More! | Fight Freaks Unite Recap
Unified Light Heavyweight champ Artur Beterbiev retained his title with another KO in a title fight. This time an eighth rounder of Britain's Anthony Yarde to keep his IBF/WBC/WBO titles in London Saturday night. And we're ready to go over that fight, plus the Golden Boy Boxing main event win by welterweight contender Alexis Rocha on the newest "Fight Freaks Unite Recap" podcast. Host T.J. Rives is back with insider Dan Rafael of his "Fight Freaks Unite" substack and BigFightWeekend.com and the guys give their insight and takes on all the action. Why was Beterbiev able to get his 19th pro win all by KOs? How much credit should Yarde be given for taking big shots and firing back? Plus, what about the hideous undercard fights that Queensberry Promotions put on just before Beterbiev vs. Yarde? The guys have some STRONG thoughts on that too! Then, what's next for the 25 year old Rocha and whether WBO world champ Terence Crawford might do a deal with Golden Boy Promotions to fight him later this Spring, etc.? Dan has thoughts on that and how realistic it is for a Crawford-Rocha bout or another Golden Boy fighter, Vergil Ortiz, might get the shot. The guys also reminisce about the first loss ever in the career of legend Julio Cesar Chavez at 89-0-1 at the time, when Frankie "The Surgeon" Randall stunned him 29 years ago in January 1994. Dan has some insight and he and T.J. talk the magnitude of the win and what happened next nearly 30 years ago.
