Rives and insider Dan Rafael of BigFightWeekend.com are back with the breaking news first that newly crowned WBO junior welterweight champ Teofimo Lopez has vacated his title just days after beating Josh Taylor.

What will happen in this homecoming bout for Prograis and his future plans?Next, some discussion on Tim Tszyu in an Australian PPV main event Saturday night with veteran Carlos Ocampo. Tszyu is fighting despite a nasty dog bite to his forearm two weeks ago and is looking for a big performance. Then, he'll turn his attention to undisputed champ Jermell Charlo and a probable fight later this year.There's fight news involving Zhilei Zhang, Nonito Donaire and the Stanionis vs. Ortiz undercard next month.And the guys conclude with nostalgia for this weekend on Mike Tyson and George Foreman fighting on the same card in 1990 in an attempt to have them fight each other. Alas, that bout never happened, especially when Tyson was arrested and convicted of rape a year later.And, a tremendous, booming KO by Thomas "Hitman" Hearns of "Hands of Stone" Roberto Duran happened 39 years ago Thursday. How did that punch impact and elevate Hearns and really damage Duran's intimidating persona for good?
