Boxing with Casavant Feb 26
The Franchise is introducing a new segment every Sunday that will focus on Boxing with our boxing expert, Matt Casavant.
Key topics discussed:
- very interesting info on the fallout of Jean Pascal and Lucian Bute's opponents. A bit of a follow up on last week and how right now they're kind of in No mans land. A lot of that has to do with the managerial changes that HBO and Showtime had at the end of last year.
- should a challenger have to "beat" a champion, and be given a hotly contested round, as opposed to the old saying "you have to beat a champ to be a champ".
