Rives returns with our content partner and insider Dan Rafael, who is on scene at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for the 130 lb. unified world title showdown between unbeaten champs, Oscar Valdez and Shakur Stevenson.

Dan also sets the scene of what it's like to be inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena for events like this one and the upcoming Canelo Alvarez-Dmiitry Bivol title clash next weekend there. And, has insight on why a "coin flip" became important for Valdez and Stevenson, too.
The guys also discuss the massively important ladies title bout at MSG in New York for the undisputed lightweight title. This, as unbeaten Irish champ Katie Taylor battles NYC fan favorite Amanda Serrano in a scheduled 10 rounder for the most lucrative ladies purse in boxing history.
