“On the Ropes” Boxing Radio is back this week with host Jenna J to break down all the recent fights and fight news in boxing. In this episode I will be recapping the recent ESPN fight card that featured the return of Austin Trout and was headlined by heavyweights, Johnathon Banks and Antonio Tarver.
Additionally, I will be talking about the HBO card that includes two high level fights. First a welterweight clash between former champion, Timothy ‘Desert Storm’ Bradley and tough Argentinean slugger, Diego Chaves. Also on the card a clash for the vacant WBO middleweight title between ‘Irish’ Andy Lee and Matt Korobov. Lastly, I will be talking about the SHOWTIME card which also takes place this Saturday night and features two welterweight showdowns, Keith Thurman vs. Leonard Bundu and Amir Khan vs. Devon Alexander.
