    The Stand Up Guys #40: Now With Graphics!!!

    On this episode of The Stand Up Guys, we open with what may already be our Fight of the Year — the absolute heavyweight chaos of Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley. An all-time kind of fight, the kind that reminds you exactly why boxing still matters. From there, we get into the bigger theme of the episode: accessibility — and why it’s still strangely difficult to simply watch boxing in the United States compared to much of the rest of the world. That conversation naturally leads into a six-month Zuffa Boxing check-in, where we look at what’s working, what isn’t, and whether their approach to presentation, distribution, and visibility is exposing deeper problems within the sport. We also had a technical glitch during recording… which we’ve decided means Zuffa and Paramount+ tried to stop us from telling the truth. For those watching on YouTube, we’ve also upgraded the show with new graphics and visual updates. Episode includes: • Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley• Accessibility and the American boxing viewing experience• Zuffa Boxing — six month deep dive / check-in• Broadcast fragmentation and streaming issues• Technical failures, conspiracy theories, and general boxing chaos A big episode about great fights, bad systems, and why combat sports can still feel easier to find halfway across the world than at your local sports bar. No hot takes. Just honest conversation.

    The Stand Up Guys #39

    On this episode, we start with what turned into a massive day for boxing — from Naoya Inoue vs Junto Nakatani early in the morning to David Benavidez vs Zurdo Ramirez later that night — with Rodtang vs Takeru II kicking off a huge week for Japan. We spend a full opening block breaking down all three fights and what they mean. From there, we get into a tale of two promotions. After going in ready to give GLORY another chance, it completely wiped out any remaining goodwill. Then RWS immediately flips the mood back, delivering exactly what we’re looking for — clean finishes, clarity, and fights that make sense the second you see them. We also take a deeper look at the current Mayweather situation, using it as a jumping-off point to talk about money, taxes, and why cash doesn’t work the way people think it does anymore. And of course, we check in on Adrien Broner, who may be the first fighter to fully document his own post-career collapse in real time. We’d also like to acknowledge the passing of Pat Benson, a legendary boxing trainer who impacted so many lives… Episode includes: • Inoue vs Nakatani• Benavidez vs Zurdo• Rodtang vs Takeru II Kickboxing & Muay Thai: • GLORY — Lost Me• RWS (Kaensak KO, Petchmorakot stoppage)• ONE Samurai Discussion & News: • Mayweather / taxes / cash reality• Media amplification and how stories become “real”• Adrien Broner situation• Canelo vs Mbilli• KO of the Year• Joshua vs Prenga (July 25)• Fury vs Joshua (target)• Eddie Hearn / Garcia vs Benn• Event spectacle Preview: • Dubois vs Wardley A full, global episode — big fights, strong opinions, and a look at where the sport actually is right now.

    The Stand Up Guys #36: Chuck Norris Invented PPV So He Could Watch Himself

    Chuck Norris doesn’t pay for pay-per-view — pay-per-view exists because of Chuck Norris. On this episode of The Stand Up Guys, we use that as a jumping-off point to break down the evolution of how we actually watch fights — from closed circuit to pay-per-view to modern streaming — and what the recent StreamEast shutdownsays about where things are heading. We also open with a quick tribute to Chuck Norris following his passing at 86, before getting into a non-clean up review of Jai Opetaia vs Brandon Glanton, including the Zuffa belt situation and the broader IBF angle. Fight of the Year contender? We discuss Lopez vs Gallegos from ProBox TV — a fight that immediately enters the conversation.

    The Stand Up Guys – Episode 35: The “Tennis” Conversation

    On this episode of The Stand Up Guys, we’re coming to you from Arizona fight weekend, where the atmosphere around Emanuel Navarrete vs Eduardo Núñez sparks a broader conversation about what makes live boxing feel different from watching it on TV. Arena observations, fight-week energy, and the small details you only notice when you’re actually there all come into play. Somewhere along the way — starting with a dinner conversation in Arizona — Edge drops a story that turns into an unexpected comparison between boxing and tennis. Footwork, conditioning, movement, pacing, and why certain sports demand a different kind of athletic discipline. What started as a random observation turns into one of the more interesting segments we’ve had in a while. From there we get into the usual chaos surrounding boxing outside the ring. Topics include: The Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs Jaron “Boots” Ennis situation and why the fight is unlikely any time soonGolden Boy’s restraining order and the broader legal fight around OrtizFrank Warren, Don King lawsuits, and the reminder that there are no real friends in boxingEarly positioning ahead of Zuffa Boxing and what promoters may be anticipatingTom Aspinall signing with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Talent AgencyWe also look at the growing global spectacle era of combat sports — Saudi-backed events, the idea of Oleksandr Usyk vs Rico Verhoeven in Egypt, and the continued circus surrounding Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition schedule, including talk of Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao II. Fight reviews include: ONE Friday Fights 144 – Kongklai vs Mohammad HabibpourONE Friday Fights 145 – Worapon vs Arthur BossierProBox TV (Feb 27) – Edward Vazquez vs Grimaldi MachucaRuben Eduardo Aguilar vs Luis LopezWe also touch on Max Holloway vs Charles Oliveira and preview ONE Friday Fights 147, along with a prediction for the upcoming Jai Opetaia vs Brandon Glanton fight after the IBF title situation. As always: no hot takes, just honest conversation about the fights, the business, and everything around it.

    The Stand Up Guys #34: You Can't Buy Atmosphere

    🎙️ The Stand Up Guys #34: You Can’t Buy Atmosphere On this episode of The Stand Up Guys, we explore something boxing keeps trying to shortcut — atmosphere. When it happens, it’s unmistakable. It elevates the fight, the fighters, the commentary, the stakes — everything. But it can’t be purchased, installed, or manufactured. It has to be earned. Using Leigh Wood vs Josh Warrington as the clearest recent example, we break down what real atmosphere looks like. No title on the line — yet it felt enormous. Why? Regional pride. Familiarity. History. A crowd that felt like participants, not customers. When the energy predates the broadcast, fighters perform differently. Risks increase. Urgency sharpens. Even a clean decision feels massive. From there, we widen the lens. We discuss the limits of promotional control — what you can manufacture (interest, publicity, anticipation, drama) and what you absolutely cannot (civic identity, cultural attachment, generational investment). That conversation touches on Zuffa’s expansion moves, the signing of Conor Benn, ONE Championship moving into Japan, and the contrast between historical spectacles like The Rumble in the Jungle and modern attempts to recreate grand environments in very different political climates. We also cover: Navarrete vs Núñez (upcoming) Ryan Garcia vs Mario Barrios Broader implications of control, presentation, and authenticity in combat sports This isn’t anti-promotion. It’s not anti-expansion. It’s a simple principle: You can manufacture noise.You cannot manufacture culture. And when atmosphere shows up, you don’t need to sell it — it sells itself. No hot takes. Just honest conversation about what makes fights feel real. Also covered: 🗣 Discussion Jaradchai (ONE win → monk vow story) Boots Ennis vs Vergil Ortiz Jr. — legal TRO + likely delayed timeline Mayweather Exhibition Era — Tyson Congo rumor, Zambidis Greece fight, geopolitics, timing logistics, ongoing circus pattern Oscar vs Dana vs Eddie — promoter sniping and public back-and-forth ONE Championship launching monthly Japan series (60 events / five-year plan) 🎙 Story Time With Edge 🥊 Reviews ONE Friday Fights 142 ONE Friday Fights 143 Zuffa 3 (notable KOs) Ryan Garcia vs Mario Barrios Leigh Wood vs Josh Warrington 2 🔍 Preview Emanuel Navarrete vs Eduardo Núñez Podcast Links   Clap Back Thursday 2/19/26 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQH1hofDfiQ Umar Dzambekov vs Ahmed Elbiali (Highlights) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Mu3mwapOAg Efe Ajagba vs Charles Martin (Highlights) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQky6WnCBrQ Amari Jones vs Luis Arias (Highlights) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXiwvwZqm9k Gary Antuanne Russell vs Andy Hiraoka (Highlights) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUZNL7yS3oE Ryan Garcia vs Mario Barrios (Highlights) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gdM2Hg2VWQ Leigh Wood vs Josh Warrington 2 (Highlights) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bslLJJGvLhs One Friday Fights 142 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRuSG7Sa6Ec&t=7348s One Friday Fights 143 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_vVPbNItsg&t=13879s

    The Stand Up Guys #33: Our MASSIVE Super Bowl Preview (…Plus Boxing)

    On this episode of The Stand Up Guys, we technically open with a Super Bowl preview — emphasis on technically. We make our picks, touch on the matchup, and then get back to what we actually want to talk about: boxing, kickboxing, and the stories that matter right now. Right up top, we also address GLORY. We’ve covered a lot of GLORY over the life of this show, but between accessibility issues, presentation problems, and a thinning roster, we explain why that chapter may be on pause for a while. It’s addressed, it’s honest, and then we move on. From there, we dig into Shakur Stevenson vs Teófimo López, breaking down the fight itself and the reaction that followed — dominance vs entertainment, corner performances, Teófimo Sr.’s post-fight behavior, media backlash, sanctioning body fallout, and what this moment actually means for Shakur going forward. We also unpack the lawsuit involving Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Showtime, including allegations of massive financial misappropriation, the naming of Stephen Espinoza, and how boxing’s opaque contracts almost guarantee prolonged litigation. We focus on what’s alleged, what’s overstated, and what likely happens next. Additional discussion topics include: The ongoing situation surrounding Gervonta DavisOscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions’ office loan foreclosurePPV pricing optics for Keith Thurman vs Sebastian Fundora on Amazon PrimeEarly signs from **Zuffa Boxing’s second showDeontay Wilder’s latest spiralA broader check-in on kickboxing’s relevanceReviews and previews include: Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller vs Kingsley Ibeh (yes, that wig incident)**Bakhram Murtazaliev vs Josh KellyJosh Padley vs Jaouad BelmehdiBruce “Shu Shu” Carrington vs Carlos CastroNick Ball vs Brandon FigueroaONE Friday Fights 140 & 141Preview: Ryan Garcia vs Mario BarriosNo hot takes.
