Riffin’ with ‘The Ripper’

Badou Jack is Gambian and Swedish -- not the typical genetic recipe for a prizefighter -- but he stunned previously unbeaten Anthony Dirrell in April to win the WBC super middleweight crown.
Jack "The Ripper" joined us Aug. 30 to discuss his win over Dirrell, his upcoming fight with George Groves (Sept. 12 at the MGM Grand), his relationship with promoter Floyd Mayweather Jr., and how his wife took the news that he had to cut their honeymoon short to get back to the gym.
Our interview with Badou is preceded by a conversation with expert analysts Travis Hartman, Rizwaan Zahid, and John J. Raspanti about Leo Santa Cruz's star-making performance against a worthy Abner Mares, Shane Mosley's weird decision to fight a rematch with (a predictably flabby) Ricardo Mayorga, and Floyd Mayweather's new stalker -- Ronda Rousey.
