Opening Day, earthquakes, and boxing, what more can you ask for from a podcast? Mike and Lance, well, Lance mostly, soak up Opening Day action and discuss Lance's time in San Diego at Canelo's gym. His biggest takeaway from watching the pound-for-pound king up close? Andy Ruiz Jr. The duo discusses Ruiz's weight loss and work ethic (3:30). The guys then preview Carl Frampton-Jamel Herring (7:15) before inviting in Herring, himself, to breakdown Saturday's fight (11:15). Herring shares his admiration for Frampton, what Saturday's deciding factor might be, Tim Bradley's criticism, Shakur Stevenson's comments, and Herring's driving ambition (15:00). Pug and Copp then react to another potential fight in the works, Manny Pacquiao-Terence Crawford (42:00). The pair also kibbitz about more possible exhibition fights, and look ahead to M.J. Akhmadaliev-Ryosuke Iwasa.
