“On The Ropes” Boxing Radio returns this week with host Jenna J to discuss all the latest fight action and fight news in the sport. In this episode I will recap last Friday’s NBC card which featured two of the most exciting fights of 2014. I will be talking about Curtis Stevens’ controversial win over Tureano Johnson as well as the heavyweight fight between Steve ‘USS’ Cunningham and Amir ‘Hardcore’ Mansour, as well as the futures of the respective winners.
Also on the show I will be previewing the upcoming HBO PPV event which features a highly anticipated rematch between Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao and ‘The Desert Storm’ Timothy Bradley. In what will be the biggest fight of the year so far, Manny Pacquiao will look to get revenge for his controversial 2012 loss to Bradley. I will discuss all the build up to this point and give my official prediction on the bout. Just click on the audio player to listen to the show!
