Summary

Buncey is in Las Vegas for the highly anticipated rematch between Sandy Ryan and Mikaela Mayer, who claimed victory in their first bout via majority decision. That initial fight was clouded by controversy when Ryan had red paint thrown on her as she left her hotel en route to the arena. Buncey catches up with both fighters and Ryan's promoter, Frank Smith. He also sits down with Katie Taylor as she gears up for her trilogy bout against Amanda Serrano. Plus, ESPN's Crystina Poncher joins the pod to share her take on what promises to be a very close fight.
