The Stand Up Guys – Episode #19 (7/28/25)
On this episode, we reinvent the podcast genre by doing something no one’s ever attempted before:
Pound For Pound list!
But before changing the world, we clean up a few loose ends, break down a busy weekend of fights, and catch up on big-picture stories in boxing and beyond.
We kick things off with an uncomfortably deep dive into ABBA’s walkout music legacy, then head straight into a barrage of knockouts, cuts, and controversy:
One Friday Night Fights 116 & 117, RWS, Usyk vs Dubois, Bam Rodriguez, Manny Pacquiao (yes, still), and a bunch more.
Plus: The end of PPV as we know it? A dubious PED excuse? And the legacy of Oleksandr Usyk.
