The discussion centers on the intricate and often murky history each man has within the sphere of athlete doping and their fervent efforts to eradicate performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) from the sport of boxing.

The episode takes an intriguing turn as it highlights 2x unified champion Teofimo Lopez’s dramatic outburst on social media, where he expresses frustration over his relationship with Top Rank, his current promoter. Lopez boldly critiques what he perceives as an inadequate financial compensation for his talents, sparking a conversation about the true value of a fighter’s worth in today’s boxing landscape. 

The hosts ponder several thought-provoking questions: Do championship titles inherently translate to star power in the boxing world? Is a fighter entitled to a larger paycheck if public demand for their bouts is lacking? As they navigate these complex issues, Duenez and Gfunky explore the phenomenon of fighters seeking inflated salaries despite the absence of significant market appeal, shedding light on the ongoing struggle for recognition and financial reward in a competitive industry.

Known for his unwavering professionalism, fair-mindedness, and sharp attention to detail, Reiss has earned immense respect within the boxing community. With decades of experience and countless matches under his belt, he is celebrated as one of the most skilled and dependable referees in the sport.
As the conversation unfolds, Reiss candidly reflects on his decision to step away from refereeing, savoring the transition to a full-time judging role in the boxing arena. He poignantly notes, "There’s no defending Father Time," capturing the inevitability of aging. He expresses deep satisfaction that he was able to conclude his refereeing career on his own terms, rather than succumbing to external pressures from peers to retire. 

Reiss dives into the complexities of defending boxing against the often unfounded accusations of corruption that casual fans may throw around. Instead of reacting with frustration, he expresses a desire to guide these fans toward a deeper understanding of the sport’s intricacies. He sheds light on the toxicity present in fan criticism, explaining how some observers can be unrelenting and harsh in their evaluations, leading to contemplating departure of the sport by his colleagues, but convinced them to stay. He underscores the lack of education many fans have about the fundamental rules and nuances of boxing, revealing a concerning gap in knowledge.

The conversation then shifts to a hot topic in the sport: the integration of artificial intelligence in judging, especially concerning the recent rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. Reiss takes a moment to clarify the four essential criteria for effectively judging a fight while outlining the proper methodology for evaluation. He passionately points out how numerous boxing commentators often falter in their assessments, sharing his dissatisfaction with their analyses and interpretations. In a bold move, he proposes that "Leave It in the Ring" invite Hall of Fame commentator and sports writer Al Bernstein for a spirited debate to explore these discrepancies.

During our second interview, Jack Reiss holds nothing back, generously offering his vast reservoir of knowledge and insights to the eager fans tuning in, making for an enlightening and entertaining discussion.

During the episode, Reiss reflects on the highly publicized 2018 heavyweight clash between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury, which sparked significant debate among fans and analysts alike. After Fury was knocked down in the fourth round, Reiss made the critical decision to give him a full ten-count.

He shares his thought process during the fight and addresses the scrutiny surrounding his count, which many perceived as being excessively prolonged.

During our conversation, Ernesto offers a candid and heartfelt account of how the pressures and demands of managing professional fighters took a significant toll on his personal life. He shares how this journey ultimately led to the dissolution of his marriage, pushing him into a deep emotional low where he seriously contemplated walking away from the sport he loves. 

However, in a moment of introspection, Ernesto realized that he owed it to himself and the sacrifices he had made not to give up on his passion. He expressed his resolve by stating, "I didn't want to lose everything for nothing, so I continued on." Through his experiences, Ernesto came to understand that boxing had become not just a career, but an addiction that he needed to navigate carefully.

Additionally, we delve into the controversial tactics employed by mega-star Ryan Garcia and explore the potential implications for his promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, who serves as the CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. We discuss whether Oscar has felt trapped by the overwhelming financial success that Ryan brings to the company, as well as the challenges that arise from such a high-profile partnership. With Ryan currently facing a suspension, we turn our attention to whether a rematch with Devin Haney is still warranted and whether boxing fans maintain a strong interest in the matchup.

In the latter part of our discussion, we focus on Tim Tsyzu, who recently suffered a knockout loss in the ring. We analyze whether this defeat was the result of poor matchmaking and strategy on his team's part, or if there were other factors at play that contributed to the outcome of the fight. This episode offers a deep dive into the complexities of boxing management and the emotional experiences of those within the sport.

We explore the reasons why a rematch is necessary for Jake Paul and why a victory over Fury is crucial if he wants to be taken seriously in boxing.

 Additionally, Jaron "Boots" Ennis is facing significant backlash after stating in a post-fight interview that he believes his days in the welterweight division might be over and that it may be time for him to move up in weight. Vergil Ortiz Jr. has welcomed Boots to the division and has expressed interest in a potential matchup. However, Boots later retracted his initial statement, indicating that he wants to stay at 147 pounds to unify the division, while still entertaining a discussion about a fight with 140-pound champion Teofimo Lopez.
