It’s time for another one of our infamous & patented Care/Don’t Care Podcasts, with your talent: Eugene S. Robinson, John S. Nash & Stephie Haynes. The format of the show is to review the prior events’ picks & then to announce each fight on the upcoming card, quickly commenting on which fights are hot, and which fights are not, based on relevancy to the sport as a whole.
