Alex Pereira’s toughest test, TKO’s boxing revolution, Ilia Topuria’s tease, is Croke Park a real place? | The Craic

The Ariel Helwani Show

With all the talk of what lies beyond UFC 313 for Alex Pereira, are we discounting the fact that Magomed Ankalaev is by far his hardest test at 205 pounds? Petesy Carroll, Ben Fowlkes and Shaheen Al-Shatti discuss how a victory would impact the iconic Brazilian striker’s legacy (4:03).

As for the chief support, the lads ponder whether Justin Gaethje will be a changed man following his brutal knockout loss to Max Holloway when he rematches short-notice stand-in Rafael Fiziev (29:56).

The conversation then turns to TKO and whether its boxing revolution will be as easily executed as most people are anticipating (44:32).

Petesy shares thoughts from the homeland about Katie Taylor’s big Croke Park fight never coming to fruition, as her trilogy bout with Amanda Serrano has been confirmed for July at Madison Square Garden (59:11).

Finally, the trio predict what Ilia Topuria is teasing with a recent post online (1:07:25) and try to formulate a way to destroy Chuck Mendenhall’s reign as Uncrowned’s king of picks (1:14:22).
