By Jenna J – “On The Ropes” Boxing Radio is back this week with host Jenna J to celebrate the show’s 200th installment. In this special episode I will be covering all the action that has been going on in boxing, starting with a recap of Saturday’s HBO card which featured the return of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, as he fought tough contender, Brian Vera. After 10 hard fought rounds, Chavez Jr. was awarded a wide unanimous decision win, a decision that most boxing analysts and fans strongly disagreed with.
I will also be giving my thoughts on the fight between Adonis Stevenson and Tavoris Cloud in which Cloud was stopped at the end of the 7th round after being dominated from the opening bell. Aside from this I will talk about Alex Ariza’s move to the Robert Garcia Boxing Academy and what this means for fighters like Brandon Rios and Mikey Garcia. Finally I will talk about the rumors about the possibility of Amir Khan being Floyd Mayweather’s next opponent. Just click on the audio player to listen to the show!
