By Jenna J – “On The Ropes” Boxing Radio returns this week with host Jenna J to talk about all the hottest stories in the sport of boxing. In this episode I talk about Nonito Donaire’s recent bout with Vic Darchinyan, the comeback fight for the former IBO champion. Donaire stopped Darchinyan via technical knock out in round 9, but the same questions still remain about “The Filipino Flash” and his determination and drive to fight at the top level of the sport. I will discuss the future of both men and what opponents they could be facing in their coming bouts.
I will also discuss Mikey Garcia and his continuous rise as one of the best p4p fighters today. Garcia stopped Roman Martinez to win the super featherweight title this past weekend and improved his record to 33-0 with 28 KO’s. With this move up in weight, Mikey now has several new challenges ahead of him, I will breakdown what his next move might be. Lastly, I will preview the upcoming HBO card which features the long awaited return of Andre “S.O.G” Ward as he takes on the undefeated, Edwin “La Bomba” Rodriguez.

happy to sponsor the best boxing show in the world find me @robertkoboxing
I think that Groves will not Trade with Froch he will most likely jab and run, try to eek out a points victory but get outworked over 12, alternatively Froch knocks groves out in five or 6, less likely outcome, most likely Froch U.d
Zab Judah early on with good early speed and power will lead Paulie through the first 4 rounds 1 to 3, then Paulie with his superior i.q boxing skill and stamina will win a decision around 116-112
