  • Meh

    Steve Kim thinks he’s the smartest guy in boxing, but he mostly is full of hot air and has a lot of kneejerk and contrarian takes. Lopez is an informed casual, but a casual nonetheless.

  • You gave Dana a Pass.

    You didn’t push him or really even interview him. He basically was on the pod just promoting his destruction of the Ali act and the creation of a monopoly that ultimately will eliminate the free market in the sport if successful

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

3KDR: Ryan Garcia's Next Fight Announced, Plus Aliko Frolov & Vadim Kornilov in Studio Talking Bivol & More!
Q: Could Benavides fight Bivol or be part of the bigger plan?
Benavides is a big star and a potential path, but the easiest to organize logistically is a Bivol vs Benavides arrangement if the right terms, weight, and venue align, though the Better BF fight remains the priority for many spots.
3KDR: Ryan Garcia's Next Fight Announced, Plus Aliko Frolov & Vadim Kornilov in Studio Talking Bivol & More!
Q: What is the status of the third fight with Better Beev (Better BF)?
Their-side priority remains to make the fight, but everything has to be aligned—money, judges, venue—and they are not rushing into terms that aren't fair or favorable, with Russia or Saudi as possible locations depending on offers.
3KDR: Legendary Sportswriter Dan Rafael Joins us to Talk Benavidez, Summer Fights, MayPac II Excitement Level & More!
Q: What did you make of the heavyweight fight between Dubois and Ordley and what does it say about the division's depth?
The fight showed heart and grit, with Dubois's ability to come back after tough moments proving the depth of the division, though there are uncertainties about consistency and the long-term top-tier contenders beyond the obvious names.
3KDR: Fury vs Makhmudov Recap, Thoughts on Benn vs Prograis The Latest on MayPac 2, Weekend Fight Preview & More!
Q: Do you think Manny Pacquiao–Floyd Mayweather is still a plausible event, or is it more of a promotional rumor?
It's largely promotional chatter with mixed signals from Pacquiao and Floyd's sides; the consensus is that unless both sides commit publicly with clear scheduling and deals, it remains on and off as a media story.
3KDR: Fundora vs Thurman Recap, Moses Itauma's Savage Knockout, Weekend Fight Preview & Much More!
Q: After his impressive performance this weekend, is Moses Itauma ready for the contenders at heavyweight?
The hosts suggest Itauma could handle more high-end tests, with possibilities including top heavyweights like Hergovic and Wilder in the longer term, but emphasize two to three more high-caliber fights to gauge readiness.
