Boxing with Chris Mannix

A Lot going on in the world of boxing this week and Chris brings in Keith Idec, senior boxing writer at boxingscene.com and they go through all the news of this past week. Later, Xander Zayas, one of the best young prospects in boxing stops by. He's fighting this weekend and the guys talked about his early rise in boxing, what winning Prospect of the Year would mean to him, and how he sees himself fitting into the junior middleweight picture over the next couple of years. Finally, Chris sits down with WBC Bantamweight Champion Nonito Donaire to discuss how he feels boxing at 39 compared to 29, what goes into the decisions to move up or down weight classes, and why women don’t get the respect that they deserve when it comes to boxing.
