The Jab Effect

This evening we wanna revisit some topics that keeps that dark cloud over boxing once again. Tank Davis was recently arrested after an altercation with his mother’s child at a big event and since the video has been out, everyone seems to be really out to get Tank Davis. We really wanna go back and just see how serious this situation and compare it to other boxers or athletes who have been in similar situations, but seem to be treated a little different.

Also Alejandra Jimenez was recently stripped of her WBC title after testing positive for a banned substance so we want tolook at the consequences that await her as well. Also should Franchon Crews Dezurn rematch her or just be given the belts back??

We discuss all that here on the #JABpodcast so tune in and subscribe!!!!

JABsquad back in the building after a small hiatus! We have a lot of drama and rounds going down in boxing, too bad its not in the ring. Lately social media has been playing a major role on fighters voicing their opinions on other boxers but these tweet exchanges haven’t really made fights happen. So tonight we’re going to discuss how social media has played a role in how boxers make their choices in the ring and IF it effects their choices. We talk bout the Spence – Crawford Twitter exchanges, Laila Ali and her Sway interview in reply to Claressa Shields’ Sway interview. Also we touch on Tank Davis who is in boiling water after being caught on camera in an altercation with his child’s mother. So tune in and let us give you our perspective on how social media is effecting the fight game.

Welcome back JAB squad we are back to discuss the outcome of Andy Ruiz vs. Anthony Joshua 2. Many of us didn’t think of these unexpected variables in this fight which made it an unsatisfactory performance on both sides. Many felt Anthony Joshua would have looked for redemption in gutsy fashion instead of the safety first boxing approach. Also no one expected Andy Ruiz not fully dedicating himself to a full fight camp of training and lacking the focus that he did. So today we’re going to discuss all that made this rematch just another average performance.

We got some pretty big rematches to close out the year of 2019, kicking off with Deontay Wilder vs. Luiz Ortiz 2, followed
by Andy Ruiz vs. Anthony Joshua 2, and Tony Harrison vs. Jermell Charlo 2. Rematches can happen for different reasons, razor
thin decisions, Draw, or upset knockouts. They also happen to give a fighter a chance to redeem himself and recapture a
glory worth more than a belt or money. Today we’re gonna go back and revisit a pair of rematches that defined boxing history.
Roberto Duran vs. Sugar Ray Leonard 2, and Miguel Cotto vs. Antonio Margarito 2. Both of these rematches came from the results
of rocky first fights for both Leonard and Cotto, but the second time around they were able to recapture glory in their
own ways. So lets go back and discuss each rematch and talk about why each fighter wanted to run it back. So sit back and enjoy this boxing conversation!!

Welcome back boxing fans and JABsquad we are back to talk boxing! We had to return to talk about last week’s fight
between Canelo Alvarez and Sergey Kovalev. Canelo added another feather to his cap with a come from behind KO over the former
Krusher but it has a lot of people questioning the fight. Did Kovalev take a dive, did Canelo really possess the power to
drop the lightheavyweight champion? All that will be discuss but with Canelo taking one portion of the 175lb crown, will he
stick around to take on the best or entice a certain former pound for pound king out of retirement?? We will talk about all
that today on this episode of the #JABpodcast!!! So subscribe and enjoy!!

The last two weeks we had some great fights, fights that could be competing for fight of the year! Errol Spence, Jr. vs. Shawn Porter and Gennady Golovkin vs. Sergiy Derevyanchenko. But the one thing that seems to get under fan’s skin is the decisions. Sometimes fans are quick to call a fight a robbery when they feel one fighter had done enough to win but just couldn’t pull it out on the scorecards. So today we’re gonna talk about certain things we feel factor in a judge’s card and also what we think can get a boxer a victory. Of course we dive deeper into more conversation on what each fighter was trying to accomplish in pulling out a win in a tough fight. So tune in and listen to another #JABpodcast!!
