Prophets of Goom: Charlo-Castano 2 breakdown, Benavidez-Lemieux preview and much more!
We take a look back at Jermell Charlo becoming the undisputed champion at 154 lbs, ahead to Benavidez-Lemieux, and much more in this week’s episode!
Tuesday is upon us, and the latest episode of Prophets of Goom is here!
This week John and myself (I’m Scott) take a look at another busy weekend ahead, including a major sleeper matchup in Spain on DAZN, David Benavidez and Janibek Alimkhanuly fighting for interim belts on Showtime and ESPN, respectively, Buatsi-Richards, John’s insistence that Tevin Farmer vs Mickey Bey is a real fight on actual pay-per-view, and more.
We also take a look back on Jermell Charlo’s big win over Brian Castano, Jaron “Boots” Ennis smashing up another opponent real good, Zurdo Ramirez’s need for a relevant fight and maybe to not gain 30 lbs overnight next time, Triller’s latest mess, and Martin Bakole beating Tony Yoka.
