Rives returns with Dan Rafael, insider for BigFightWeekend.com, to first go over the news of the week, including Jake Paul's new opponent for August 6th, will Dmitry Bivol fight Zurdo Ramirez for his WBA light heavyweight title next? And, if not, whom might he be fighting instead?And, then, you'll hear from former two division world champ Danny Garcia, who's ready to be back in the ring late this month after an 18 month layoff. Garcia talks one on one with Dan about whether the "fire still burns" for him to get another world title shot and why he's trying at jr. middleweight in the comeback?Finally, the guys start breaking down the Showtime Boxing/PBC championship fight card Saturday night in the Alamodome. Will the unbeaten Magsayo, making his first defense vs. the unbeaten veteran Vargas moving up in weight be exciting or potentially a "snoozer" due to Vargas' style/skills? Dan has more on that, plus, former 122 lb. world champ Brandon Figueroa is in the co-feature bout and Dan has his eye on rising lightweight contender Frank Martin on this card, too.And, the guys also hit on the Matchroom Boxing London card where heavyweights Dereck "War" Chisora and Kubrat Pulev will battle Saturday afternoon U.S. time in the main event.
