By Jenna J – “On The Ropes” Boxing Radio makes a return this week with host Jenna J to discuss all the hottest news in the sport. In this weeks episode I will be talking about a division in the sport that has the potential to make some buzz in 2014, that being the middleweight division. There are a lot of talented fighters who can move up the ranks and face the current champions, there is also the possibility of the titles being unified by the end of the year.
Also on the show, I will preview the fight between Lucian Bute and Jean Pascal, which is set to happen this Saturday, January 18th at the Bell Centre in Quebec, Canada. The bout is being billed as the “Canadian Superbowl” and will be for the NABF light heavyweight title. I will breakdown the fight and give my official prediction.
