    Love hearing Luke break down fighters. also very knowledgeable about life period. Brian just always has to cut him off and it ruins the show. Brian needs to shut up

  • Better Shows Are Out There

    I just am not a fan of these guys. They try too hard. If Luke Thomas really becomes a major reporting face of this sport, then it’s jumped the shark. You can hear the snark when he brings up Blue Sky. Not a fan of Brian’s boxing commentary either.
