The Stand Up Guys (5/19/25)
This week, Inoue saves the fight world from a rough weekend—and we break down every brutal, brilliant, and baffling moment across boxing and Muay Thai.
We kick it off with Naoya Inoue’s 8th-round TKO over Ramon Cardenas in a wild fight where Inoue was dropped early and bled his way to domination. Cardenas showed heart, but Inoue closed the show like only he can.
Then it's two nights of action from ONE Friday Fights:
107: Isaac Mohammed vs Antonio Piana delivered an all-out war and legit Round of the Year contender. Koko, Vero, and Karimi all scored huge finishes. We won’t even get into the main event—let’s just say the “winner’s” post-fight behavior spoke for itself.
108: KO-heavy night featuring Majid Karimi, Tengnueng, Petnaya, and Kongchai—a loaded card with violent conclusions and some controversial judging.
On the boxing side:
ProBox TV: Nicklaus Flaz impresses again, and Erickson Lubin overwhelms a fading Ardreal Holmes Jr for a late TKO.
Emanuel Navarrete vs Charly Suarez: A blood-soaked war marred by a controversial cut call and a decision that didn’t stick.
We also cover Fight Night at Tech CU Arena, with highlights including:
Amber Leibrock vs Abigail Montes – a clinch clinic turns into a kickboxing clinic
Cris Cyborg scores a stoppage in her pro boxing return
And finally, we talk about the headlines around Manny Pacquiao possibly fighting for a WBC title—at 45.
