Ringside Boxing Show: Canelo’s hairy dilemma, smokin’ weekend, & legend Simon Brown

Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller splashed into the deep end of boxing’s heavyweight pool Saturday night like a rhino doing a cannonball.

Ever seen a 300-pounder burn as many calories as Miller did in 12 rounds against rugged Johann Duhaupas? If Joshua and Wilder can’t knock him out, will they be able to endure the punishment Miller will bring until the final bell?

We seek answers to those questions from expert analysts Rizwaan Zahid and John J. Raspanti, who also review Saturday’s multiple fan-friendly fights: Danny Jacobs vs. Maciej Sulecki, Josesito Lopez vs. Miguel Cruz, Isaac Dogboe vs. Jessie Magdaleno, and Anthony Dirrell vs. Abraham Han.

And we tell you what (if anything) Canelo’s clean hair-follicle test means to his “meat-tainted” legacy.

This show also includes Paul McLaughlin’s report on the vibrant heavyweight picture in the UK, and an in-depth interview with our featured guest, 1990s legend Simon Brown, who in his heyday was part of boxing’s pound-for-pound conversation.
