The sport delivered on every front this week — and we were there for all of it.

On this episode of Pacific Coast Boxing, we break down the biggest results from the past several days. Filip Hrgovic upsets Moses Itauma at The O2 in London to win the IBF heavyweight title — the most hyped British heavyweight prospect since Joshua stopped in R9, exposed by a 34-year-old mandatory challenger who waited two years for one night. Teofimo Lopez becomes a three-division world champion with a split decision over Rolly Romero at T-Mobile Arena — seven months after Shakur Stevenson shut him out on all three cards, he bounces back with the most disciplined performance of his welterweight career. Andy Ruiz Jr. loses a unanimous decision to Damian Knyba in Newark, effectively closing the chapter on his elite heavyweight ambitions. And Katie Taylor retires at Croke Park in Dublin — 50,000 people on their feet, undisputed champion, the greatest female boxer of all time walking away on her own terms.

Then we preview Saturday’s main event — Ryan Garcia defends his WBC welterweight title against Conor Benn at T-Mobile Arena on Paramount+. The weight cut, the reach edge, the left hook, and what a Benn upset would mean for the entire Zuffa welterweight division. We give you everything you need before the first bell.
