1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,720 Hey, before we get started, I wanted to take a second 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,320 and tell you about some things that are gonna be coming up 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,980 for the Lux Media family at large. 4 00:00:07,980 --> 00:00:10,860 It has always been a part of the timeline 5 00:00:10,860 --> 00:00:13,240 where advertising comes into play. 6 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:14,840 I can assure you of two things. 7 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,520 One, I'm not gonna be trying to sell you dumb shit. 8 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,360 Any product that I mention or whatever the fuck the case is, 9 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,760 I've tried it, I can attest to it being good. 10 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,660 Number two, it's an advertisement. 11 00:00:24,660 --> 00:00:29,000 I know I'll do my best to try to be humorous in some way 12 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,420 or try to make it entertaining however I can. 13 00:00:32,420 --> 00:00:34,480 If you wanna keep the ad-free experience 14 00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:36,120 that you've been enjoying, 15 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,600 I would highly suggest going to Patreon. 16 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,960 In addition to having the raw cuts, 17 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,680 you can also get the same version that would be public, 18 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,040 but it's ad-free. 19

00:01:51,760 Yeah. 56 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,800 The big news kind of kills one of the January cards, 57 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,440 even though it was already light. 58 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,280 Yeah, it was already on, 59 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,280 I don't know if Tinter Hooks is right. 60 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,680 It was on life support, it just got pulled. 61 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,720 Yes, life support is correct. 62 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,440 And yeah, so yeah, fuck it, let's kick it off with that. 63 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,000 What Sam Goodman pulls out, certainly this time, 64 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000 and have you looked into who this young Korean fellow is? 65 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,200 Because I have not. 66 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,840 No, well, I checked his box rec. 67 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,200 It's pretty light. 68 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,000 He's ranked number 11. 69 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,080 I guess short notice, that's probably the best they can do. 70 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,000 Yes, not bad, all things considered. 71 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,880 I mean, I would be fucking devastated if he pulls off 72 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,440 like a Buster Douglas or something. 73 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,880 (*laughs*) 74 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,440 Man, looking at his thing, 75 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,160 he's 21, two and two. 76 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,160 21 wins by, or 13 wins by KO of the 22, 77 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,480 losses have been decisions. 78 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,280 He goes by the Troublemaker slash Packy Weather? 79 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,920 Packy Weather is fucking hilarious and so Korean. 80 00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:01,640 (*laughs*) 81 00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:03,360 What are you doing? 82 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,880 He's a combination of Packy Ow and Mayweather. 83 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,960 Oh, that's what it is. 84 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,720 I was, honestly, I was a little confused. 85 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:11,560 You didn't get it? 86 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,000 And I love portmanteaus, 87 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,880 so I'm a little disappointed with myself. 88 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,920 I'm surprised you didn't get it. 89 00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:20,480 He has traveled and fought a bit. 90 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,320 Okay. 91 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,080 He's fought in Mexico, America. 92 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:24,920 Australia, Thailand. 93 00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:26,560 Australia, yeah. 94 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,720 Yeah, he's not a neighborhood good guy, 95 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,760 but at the same time, he's not great either. 96 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,920 Who's he loose to? 97 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,520 Box rec has him at 57th, not great. 98 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,440 This short of notice, and if you called me up 99 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,320 and I was like a serious contender and said, 100 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,840 uh, Sam Goodman's out, do you want to fight in a way? 101 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,600 I would say, like three weeks notice, 102 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,800 that's gonna be a fuck no from me. 103 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,960 I would like to think that I can give myself 104 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,520 a better chance if I have a full camp. 105 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,520 Yeah, I don't think it matters who they called right now, 106 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,240 but you know. 107 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,760 I mean, get on this guy for taking it. 108 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,480 He's also kind of old. 109 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,600 He's not super old. 110 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,520 32, yeah, but in boxing years, that is getting on a bit. 111 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,400 Yeah, he is the most Korean looking man ever, 112 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,520 his box rec. 113 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,800 Looking at him, like yeah, yeah he is. 114 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,200 Yeah, all I can really say, all that can be really said, 115 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,920 I think is congrats on the opportunity. 116 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,960 I would not wish ill upon you or anything, 117 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,120 but fucking good luck, dude. 118 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,000 Yeah. 119 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,040 I'm sure you believe in yourself, of course you do. 120 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,760 You would not have answered the call if you didn't, 121 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,240 but that's a tall ask of anyone, anyone. 122 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,160 Even like fucking Picasso, who they think is good, 123 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,800 or MJ, who we, I think is still a good fight. 124 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:54,640 That's always hard to ask. 125 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,120 Yeah, I just, three weeks notice isn't enough, 126 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,280 but in a way it has to get away from Goodman. 127 00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:04,160 Goodman has just ruined his chances at his lifetime payday. 128 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,960 By sparring hard with no helmet, like what are you doing, bud? 129 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,440 You're the one that's supposed to be wearing head gear. 130 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,520 If anyone's gonna wear it in your sparring sessions, 131 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,680 it should be you. 132 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,080 You're looking at, yeah, the payday of a lifetime, 133 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,680 and you fucked it up twice. 134 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,000 Well, I don't think they're gonna give him another chance. 135 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,360 I doubt they'll ever negotiate, yeah. 136 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,200 Fuck no, he doesn't deserve it. 137 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,200 I heard he's going and getting plastic surgery 138 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,160 to have the scar tissue removed, 139 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,160 so he's gonna be out for at least six months now. 140 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,600 Oh, wonderful. 141 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,680 So he could just be ready for Nakatani when he moves up. 142 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:41,840 Yeah, I guess. 143 00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:42,640 Still be a nice- 144 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,480 I don't know. 145 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,800 Nice-ish payday. 146 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,560 Goodman just fucked himself by, I assume, being stupid. 147 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:54,080 He, the press releases say he was wearing head gear, but- 148 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:54,920 Oh, he was. 149 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,080 The guys on Discord have convinced me 150 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,120 that he wasn't wearing the right head gear 151 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,560 if he got cut like that. 152 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,560 It was like above his eye, right? 153 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,000 Yeah, like along the eyebrow, like everybody cuts. 154 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,960 Yeah, trying to think of my head gear time. 155 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,720 I don't know what type of head gear you'd have to be wearing 156 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,960 to not have the kind of protection 157 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,240 that he should have had. 158 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,920 This is a really strange thing to happen twice, 159 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,640 and how the fuck did you not learn the first time? 160 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:25,480 Somebody- 161 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,360 Yeah, I just, I don't get it. 162 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,160 I'm losing, I don't know, 163 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,880 I can't really think of a good way to put it. 164 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,640 That's just a really stupid thing to do. 165 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:35,760 It's really stupid. 166 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:36,600 You did it twice. 167 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,840 The risk management is bad. 168 00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:39,960 Right. 169 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,520 It happened once, shit happens. 170 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,000 Inoue and his, like the team, they obviously, 171 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,960 we get it, stuff happens. 172 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,600 You do it again, like, bro, what the fuck? 173 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,440 Nah, you forget about it. 174 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,440 Nevermind. 175 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,040 Maybe you can fight tension. 176 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,080 Junto, whatever. 177 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,560 Yeah. 178 00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:59,960 Disappointment. 179 00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:01,520 Well, is it a disappointment? 180 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,600 Like, it's not that anybody was really expecting 181 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:04,960 a whole lot out of him. 182 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,200 At least I wasn't. 183 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,480 I know you weren't, and I'm certain 184 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,680 that a lot of the guys in Discord were not either. 185 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,200 Yeah, I didn't even try and get a ticket for this one. 186 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,920 I could not care less to watch Inoue 187 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,360 beat the fuck out of Goodman in person. 188 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,280 Like, I've seen him twice now. 189 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,120 Toms. 190 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:22,960 Yeah. 191 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,200 I was gonna go, well, and I'll still go, 192 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,640 watch it in the bar in Tokyo with the old men. 193 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,440 But it might be more fun watching him beat up a Korean 194 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,760 just because of the social implications. 195 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,320 The Japanese men might be more excited about that 196 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,760 than the Australian. 197 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,360 All right, moving on. 198 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,880 Ring Magazine had their 2024 picks come out. 199 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,040 I wanted to talk through a couple of them, 200 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,200 just because, just from how they differ from ours. 201 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,560 The event of the year came out as Usyk Fury 202 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,480 with the Ring of Fire title. 203 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,000 That's the first one. 204 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,040 That was the winner. 205 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,280 Yeah, that's the first one. 206 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,400 And that's the winner. 207 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,440 I don't, ugh. 208 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,800 I've never looked at events as a whole. 209 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,360 I guess, yeah, I guess, but. 210 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,720 It was long as fuck, though. 211 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:14,560 Yeah. 212 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,240 Half the people fell asleep. 213 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,160 Female Fighter of the Year. 214 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,280 It's cool, I get why they do the distinction. 215 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,480 I don't distinguish between the two. 216 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,360 Looking on her credentials, Gabriella Fundura, 217 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,000 the winner, absolutely deserving, beyond deserving, 218 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,440 of being in the conversation of Fighter of the Year. 219 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,600 Fuck, I, how does she not even cross my mind, 220 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,880 is weird thinking on it. 221 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,760 But Gabriella, fucking congrats. 222 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,080 She had an awesome year. 223 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,440 She did, yeah. 224 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,480 Is it worth distinguishing between them? 225 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,120 I don't know, I've given Fighter of the Year, 226 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,880 even over on the MMA side, or even here in boxing, 227 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,400 I give Fighter of the Year, Fight of the Year, 228 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,960 to women's fights, or female fighters, all the time. 229 00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:02,240 I've never thought to distinguish them, 230 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,440 because they're all boxers to me. 231 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:05,840 So, I don't know. 232 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,840 Yeah, I mean, I can see arguments both ways, I guess. 233 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:12,320 Same. 234 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,360 Because in almost every sport, you have the separation. 235 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,920 Like, you don't have them competing against each other 236 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,840 in the ring, so it's hard to compare them to each other. 237 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:24,680 I don't know. 238 00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:28,280 It's hard for some of the women to get Fighter of the Year 239 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,600 and stuff, because the fights aren't there. 240 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,800 Yeah, the quality of opponents are not as good 241 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,280 as it is for the men. 242 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:37,960 I think it was 2020. 243 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,200 I think it's more equality to not split them, but. 244 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:46,200 Yeah, 2023, I picked, my Fight of the Year was KJ Taylor 245 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,880 and Amanda Serrano, the first one. 246 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,240 And one of my runner-ups was, one in consideration 247 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,320 was the rematch for 2024. 248 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,320 The rematch could have been Fight of the Year this year, 249 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,720 if there wasn't some of the others. 250 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:01,880 Right. 251 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,800 Yep, Gabby should have been, she deserves to be 252 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,200 in the conversation for Fighter of the Year, just period. 253 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,880 Just in a manner of how much success she had, 254 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,680 her accomplishments and everything. 255 00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:16,800 I don't see any reason to differentiate, 256 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,080 because she is in the conversation, 257 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,160 the same conversation as the men. 258 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,000 So. 259 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,440 Yeah, part of what might make them less memorable 260 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,120 is they're always, or not always, 261 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,680 but usually on the undercard. 262 00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:31,920 Yeah, true. 263 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,680 They're getting better at making some of the women's fights 264 00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:37,640 that are exciting co-main, which is better, 265 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,520 but lots of times they're kind of just stuck 266 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:40,720 in the middle somewhere. 267 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:41,680 True. 268 00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:45,480 All right, moving on, male fighter, Usyk, no shit. 269 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,320 Who else could it be? 270 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,240 But my pick, Junto, he was on the mentions, so. 271 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,080 Nice. 272 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:52,900 I was saying in the chat, 273 00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:54,920 we were watching it together in Discord, 274 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,840 a lot of the guys were, and I was saying, 275 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,600 the Fighter of the Year is Usyk. 276 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,560 There is no fucking question about it. 277 00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:03,000 The runner-up is the, you know, 278 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,920 that's the real argument that we're- 279 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:05,760 Question. 280 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,680 Yeah, that's what we're gonna be arguing about. 281 00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:10,160 Yeah, Usyk wins, no kidding. 282 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,560 Fight of the Year, I don't know, 283 00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:16,160 Ray Ford, KO12 over Otabek Kolmatov. 284 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,520 What? 285 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,080 Yeah, that's a strange pick. 286 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:20,920 What? 287 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,080 I don't even remember that fight. 288 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,120 Yeah, I remember it. 289 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,520 I don't remember it being like 290 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,780 Fight of the Year contender at any point. 291 00:11:28,860 --> 00:11:33,860 Not the best pick, but with like his purchasing ring magazine, 292 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,440 this is just like, the picks are, 293 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,200 what does he think is fun, I guess. 294 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,280 Yeah, but why would he think that was fun? 295 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,340 I don't know. 296 00:11:44,340 --> 00:11:45,180 I don't know. 297 00:11:46,260 --> 00:11:48,260 Maybe it was like, of all the cards 298 00:11:48,260 --> 00:11:52,620 that were in Saudi Arabia, that was Fight of the Year. 299 00:11:53,860 --> 00:11:54,700 Maybe. 300 00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:55,520 I don't know. 301 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,620 But I mean, like, I can pick better Saudi fights. 302 00:11:59,620 --> 00:12:00,460 Yeah. 303 00:12:00,460 --> 00:12:01,300 Trainer. 304 00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:02,340 Yeah, same. 305 00:12:02,340 --> 00:12:05,540 Trainer of the Year, Robert Garcia. 306 00:12:05,540 --> 00:12:09,100 This is one that we don't have on our selections, 307 00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:13,140 but before they even started reading out the nominees, 308 00:12:13,140 --> 00:12:15,300 I was already saying Robert Garcia. 309 00:12:15,300 --> 00:12:20,300 So if he has like Bam or Virgil Ortiz or Raymour Tai, 310 00:12:20,420 --> 00:12:23,900 one of his marquee fighters are at the top of the bill. 311 00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:27,740 He has like two, three, four different fighters 312 00:12:27,740 --> 00:12:31,140 all the way down the bill, and all of his guys are winning. 313 00:12:31,140 --> 00:12:34,340 The entire year, all of his guys are winning. 314 00:12:34,340 --> 00:12:37,900 He goes undefeated at cards all the time. 315 00:12:38,980 --> 00:12:40,860 Robert Garcia is a, 316 00:12:40,860 --> 00:12:43,420 this guy takes amateur standouts 317 00:12:43,420 --> 00:12:45,820 or even just amateur average, 318 00:12:45,820 --> 00:12:48,260 and he turns them into successful pros, 319 00:12:48,260 --> 00:12:50,180 and he does it year after year. 320 00:12:50,180 --> 00:12:51,020 Very deserving. 321 00:12:51,020 --> 00:12:54,220 Yeah, he's definitely one of the few coaches 322 00:12:54,220 --> 00:12:56,180 I actually know their names. 323 00:12:56,180 --> 00:12:57,020 Yeah. 324 00:12:57,020 --> 00:12:58,760 I don't really follow the, 325 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,900 I don't really follow any of the kind of 326 00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:02,120 out of the ring stuff. 327 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,540 I guess coaches are in the ring, but you know what I mean. 328 00:13:04,540 --> 00:13:05,380 Right. 329 00:13:05,380 --> 00:13:09,740 So I honestly don't know who all is coached by who, 330 00:13:09,740 --> 00:13:13,540 but I definitely recognize Robert Garcia's name. 331 00:13:13,540 --> 00:13:17,700 Yeah, he's one of those guys where if you hear 332 00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:21,420 such and such fighter having a little trouble, 333 00:13:21,420 --> 00:13:23,100 and he goes to Robert Garcia, 334 00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:24,060 it's one of those things like, 335 00:13:24,060 --> 00:13:26,420 oh, he can probably improve from here 336 00:13:26,420 --> 00:13:30,360 just because he has the Robert Garcia Boxing Academy 337 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,200 behind him. 338 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,040 Yeah. 339 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:32,900 All right, prospect. 340 00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:34,320 Moses Italma. 341 00:13:35,340 --> 00:13:39,540 Okay, I think this is recency bias, but it's fine. 342 00:13:39,540 --> 00:13:42,220 I mean, he is a lot of people's prospect of the year. 343 00:13:42,220 --> 00:13:44,740 It's not an out to lunch pick. 344 00:13:44,740 --> 00:13:46,340 Yeah, yeah, you're right. 345 00:13:46,340 --> 00:13:50,780 Round of the year, Usyk Fury, the first fight, round nine. 346 00:13:50,780 --> 00:13:55,060 I don't pick, I just, I don't keep track of this. 347 00:13:55,060 --> 00:13:58,300 So I don't ever pick round of the year. 348 00:13:58,300 --> 00:14:01,140 I'm sure this one, this one was good. 349 00:14:01,140 --> 00:14:03,500 I went back to watch to make sure. 350 00:14:03,500 --> 00:14:04,340 So I don't know. 351 00:14:04,340 --> 00:14:07,700 Yeah, that's the one where he's wobbled, right? 352 00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:10,620 He's wobbling Fury, and yeah. 353 00:14:10,620 --> 00:14:13,180 I mean, it's definitely the most memorable round 354 00:14:13,180 --> 00:14:14,380 of last year. 355 00:14:14,380 --> 00:14:16,220 I don't know if it's, 356 00:14:16,220 --> 00:14:18,460 I don't know how you pick round of the year. 357 00:14:18,460 --> 00:14:19,300 I don't either. 358 00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:21,140 I don't get it. 359 00:14:21,140 --> 00:14:24,500 Like to me, round of the year is so stupid. 360 00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:25,340 It is. 361 00:14:25,340 --> 00:14:26,180 Because. 362 00:14:26,180 --> 00:14:29,020 There's what, how many hundreds, 363 00:14:29,020 --> 00:14:31,300 if not thousands of fights a year 364 00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:32,940 that are even paid attention, 365 00:14:32,940 --> 00:14:34,540 that we even pay attention to, 366 00:14:34,540 --> 00:14:36,960 let alone how many actually happen. 367 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,560 This is, I don't know why this is a category. 368 00:14:41,620 --> 00:14:44,660 It is, that is the obvious choice though. 369 00:14:44,660 --> 00:14:45,500 Right. 370 00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:47,380 It's the most memorable and the most talked about round 371 00:14:47,380 --> 00:14:48,300 for sure. 372 00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:49,140 And I think. 373 00:14:49,140 --> 00:14:51,120 Like people discuss that round a lot. 374 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:51,960 Right. 375 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,540 That's what I think it is. 376 00:14:53,540 --> 00:14:55,700 This isn't a matter of, 377 00:14:55,700 --> 00:15:00,700 my thinking for round of the year is back and forth action, 378 00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:02,860 high octane action. 379 00:15:02,860 --> 00:15:05,660 Whereas this is like Usyk, 380 00:15:05,660 --> 00:15:08,980 holy shit, he's about to deck Tyson Fury. 381 00:15:08,980 --> 00:15:11,440 The only guy that we ever thought could do that 382 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,060 is Deontay Wilder. 383 00:15:13,060 --> 00:15:14,500 And Usyk's about to do it. 384 00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:17,740 That's, it's just, yeah, spectacle. 385 00:15:17,740 --> 00:15:20,580 Not necessarily like action or anything like that. 386 00:15:20,580 --> 00:15:24,540 So maybe I don't understand the measurement. 387 00:15:24,540 --> 00:15:25,760 So I don't know. 388 00:15:26,740 --> 00:15:28,540 Yeah, like to me round of the year 389 00:15:28,540 --> 00:15:31,620 is usually a whole bunch of punches 390 00:15:31,620 --> 00:15:35,740 and possibly somebody goes down, 391 00:15:35,740 --> 00:15:39,580 but usually it's just straight action the whole three minutes. 392 00:15:39,580 --> 00:15:41,060 Somebody goes down, 393 00:15:41,060 --> 00:15:43,940 person who goes down comes back and battles back. 394 00:15:43,940 --> 00:15:44,780 Yeah. 395 00:15:44,780 --> 00:15:48,020 And you wonder like, holy shit, is that actually 10-8? 396 00:15:48,020 --> 00:15:50,260 I don't know, cause he fought back so well. 397 00:15:50,260 --> 00:15:53,020 It has to be, but yeah. 398 00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:54,940 All right. 399 00:15:54,940 --> 00:15:58,340 Upset is Saras over Munguia, duh. 400 00:15:58,340 --> 00:15:59,180 Obvious. 401 00:15:59,180 --> 00:16:00,020 Yep. 402 00:16:00,020 --> 00:16:04,660 So the KO of the year, Dubois versus AJ, I guess. 403 00:16:04,660 --> 00:16:07,420 I heard some people saying that one. 404 00:16:07,420 --> 00:16:08,340 I don't think so. 405 00:16:08,340 --> 00:16:09,240 I don't either. 406 00:16:10,580 --> 00:16:12,860 This is similar to like round of the year. 407 00:16:12,860 --> 00:16:14,680 It's like the spectacle of it. 408 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,820 Nobody expected Dubois to do that. 409 00:16:16,820 --> 00:16:21,180 Yeah, well, and AJ struggling to get up 410 00:16:21,180 --> 00:16:23,980 was memed on real hard. 411 00:16:23,980 --> 00:16:25,220 That's right, it was. 412 00:16:25,220 --> 00:16:28,500 And this one, I don't know what the fuck this even means. 413 00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,980 Lifetime achievement and you give it to Don King? 414 00:16:32,980 --> 00:16:34,620 Oh fuck, aw. 415 00:16:34,620 --> 00:16:37,620 What achievement are we talking about? 416 00:16:37,620 --> 00:16:38,780 Cause if you're talking about- 417 00:16:38,780 --> 00:16:39,860 The one he stole in? 418 00:16:39,860 --> 00:16:43,160 Right, if you're talking about fucking fighters over, 419 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,100 then yeah, this man's been achieving that shit for decades. 420 00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:49,820 Otherwise, I'm not sure why we're talking about him 421 00:16:49,820 --> 00:16:52,200 in any sort of a positive manner. 422 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,340 Well, and why give it to him this year? 423 00:16:54,340 --> 00:16:55,180 Right. 424 00:16:55,180 --> 00:16:58,780 What did he achieve this year? 425 00:16:58,780 --> 00:16:59,700 I don't know. 426 00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:02,980 Maybe this is like a consolation prize as he heads off 427 00:17:02,980 --> 00:17:05,220 beyond the veil of life. 428 00:17:05,220 --> 00:17:07,500 That's a really weird choice and a bad one. 429 00:17:07,500 --> 00:17:08,340 It is. 430 00:17:08,340 --> 00:17:11,160 What, but one thing that I thought was interesting 431 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,860 was once they finished all the awards, 432 00:17:12,860 --> 00:17:15,020 lifetime achievement was the last one. 433 00:17:15,020 --> 00:17:18,820 And Michael Buffer, he presented this one 434 00:17:18,820 --> 00:17:23,820 and he stopped the entire, whatever, ceremony or event 435 00:17:23,820 --> 00:17:28,120 to congratulate Turkey All All Shake. 436 00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:30,920 Like, oh, whenever we think about boxing, 437 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,600 so few people become mononyms. 438 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,640 He didn't use these exact words, 439 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:40,640 but like if I say Iron Mike, you know who I'm talking about. 440 00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:44,640 If I say Pac-Man, you know who I'm talking about. 441 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,880 That type of, or who's the real deal? 442 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:48,840 You know who I'm talking about. 443 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:49,880 Yeah. 444 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,880 And so he said, I'd like to give my congratulations 445 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,920 to his excellency. 446 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,760 And you all know who I'm talking about. 447 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,720 And you all know who I'm talking about. 448 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:02,800 Are you? 449 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,400 His ass a little harder. 450 00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:06,960 Yeah. 451 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,280 Can you, I don't know, man. 452 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,960 Like when did you lose your gag reflex? 453 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,680 That's fucking, that is very upsetting. 454 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:16,560 Let's be honest. 455 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,760 Like boxing hasn't had a gag reflex for a very long time. 456 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,760 That's true, yes. 457 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,680 Let's move along here. 458 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,800 Devin Haney is announcing his comeback. 459 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,520 He's in camp, opponent to be determined. 460 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,720 I think there's front runners. 461 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,880 I don't recall off the top of my head who they might be. 462 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,080 I don't follow Devin Haney, especially after. 463 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,640 I am not excited to see him again. 464 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,080 No. 465 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,600 At all, so. 466 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,840 I struggled to be excited to see him to begin with. 467 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,040 All right, Jermell Charlo, the 154 one, 468 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,960 he's on his way back. 469 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,320 I also struggle to care about him. 470 00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,160 Yeah. 471 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,200 It's like what, he made the big Canelo pay 472 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,680 and then fucked off for however long. 473 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,920 Man, if you were serious, then you wouldn't have left at all. 474 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,480 Whatever, you moved up two divisions to lose. 475 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,000 OK, then you should have kept fighting after that. 476 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:22,120 Yeah, anybody who kind of checks out after their big payday, 477 00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:24,560 they're basically done anyways, I think. 478 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,320 I would agree with that, absolutely. 479 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:33,800 Still fun, I guess, to see another familiar face coming 480 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,840 back into the 154 mold. 481 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,160 There's a lot of talent there. 482 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:44,160 The Jermell and Crawford rivalries are already there. 483 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,080 Yeah, I know. 484 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,280 I'm so bad at weight classes. 485 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,040 Who's at 154? 486 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,680 Mortazaliev just beat Tim Tzu. 487 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,920 Virgil Ortiz, Madremov, Bohacuk. 488 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:54,360 I don't know. 489 00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:56,120 I guess we'll have to see how he looks. 490 00:19:56,120 --> 00:20:01,840 But I don't picture Charlo hanging with those guys anymore. 491 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:02,960 I don't either. 492 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:03,680 Not after this. 493 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,000 He could have. 494 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,600 But yeah, exactly. 495 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:12,400 Like, he clearly doesn't have the drive anymore if he's been out this long. 496 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:13,320 I don't know. 497 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,640 I know he's coming back for a reason. 498 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:20,800 And even a shitty payday is more money than I make in five years. 499 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,360 So who knows? 500 00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:26,320 Maybe the Puerto Rican pound for pound superstars, 501 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,440 Ander Zayas is going to sort him out. 502 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,040 We'll have to see what he looks like. 503 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:39,520 Yeah, that's a big question, but he's been gone so long. 504 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,760 Yeah, that's really the big question about it is. 505 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,640 And they both have so much out of the ring drama, right? 506 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:47,920 Yes, they both do. 507 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:56,160 Golden Boy versus Matroom in a five versus five. 508 00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:02,600 When I looked this up for originally, there was a list of names that they had in mind. 509 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,120 I don't see this going very well for Golden Boy. 510 00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:08,640 Golden Boy doesn't have much talent. 511 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,040 Yeah, they don't have a lot of people. 512 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,480 So I'm not sure what Oscar's really trying to accomplish. 513 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,000 But apparently, like negotiations are already underway. 514 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:24,600 Well, I mean, he can't do any worse than Eddie did in the first one. 515 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,960 Like, literally can't do any worse than that. 516 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:34,360 He lost every fight and there was three knockouts, right? 517 00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:37,080 Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was three. 518 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,000 Yeah, can't get worse than that. 519 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,960 I don't care about the out of ring stuff, but I bet you the out of ring stuff would 520 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,080 be pretty funny on this one. 521 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:49,600 Like Oscar talking shit is going to be a whole vibe. 522 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:50,600 It will be. 523 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:55,280 The clap back videos that he does should be a good time. 524 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,200 Yeah, if you like that sort of thing. 525 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,880 I bet you this is exciting. 526 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:06,280 I think that might be the most entertaining part about it is just the antics in the buildup. 527 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:12,440 Well, I think that's why it's getting made is for the shenanigans. 528 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,520 Yeah, get Oscar on his shit again. 529 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:21,080 So some options that were put out, Jaron Ennis versus Ryan Garcia. 530 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,280 Are you fucking kidding me? 531 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:30,480 What is Garcia allowed to fight yet? 532 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:31,840 When's his thing up? 533 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:37,800 I expect they're making it so that he'll be able to by this point. 534 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:38,800 Fair enough. 535 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,560 April is April or May. 536 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,680 I believe it's his when his suspension is up. 537 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,800 Oh, that's closer than I thought. 538 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,040 I was hoping he would stay away longer. 539 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:54,840 Shakur Stevenson versus Williams Apeyda, that's legitimately a good one. 540 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,840 Jaya Pataya versus Zerto, also a good one. 541 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,600 Yeah, I'm being convinced on that. 542 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,120 Yeah, Jack Cattarall versus Jose Ramirez. 543 00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:07,720 But Jack Cattarall is already fighting Arnold Barbosa. 544 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,680 So I guess we'll see between those two. 545 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:18,960 This is other than Jaron Ennis versus Ryan Garcia, which I get like on for marquee purposes, 546 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,440 that's pretty damn good. 547 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:27,480 Yeah, well, and the out of ring shenanigans are going to be high on this card, I think. 548 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:28,480 Definitely. 549 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:33,600 Just Ryan Garcia and Shakur Stevenson, pretty much everyone else is going to be kind of 550 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,760 sitting like, what the hell is happening as they look around? 551 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:45,960 Yeah, but you've got Oscar, Eddie, Ryan and Shakur all doing PR bullshit. 552 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,880 There's going to be a big buildup of some sort. 553 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:49,880 Yeah, definitely. 554 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:54,080 Yeah, it's not bad, I guess. 555 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,040 There's a couple fights I'm excited about. 556 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,040 If those are the fights. 557 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,760 Jaya versus Zerto, it stands out to me. 558 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,040 Yeah, yeah, I want that fight to happen. 559 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:10,480 And Shakur and Apeyda, I would like to see that as well. 560 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,720 Oh, he changed his flag. 561 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,800 He's now from Kazakhstan. 562 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:22,520 Sergey Lipinets is back on February 1st at Wembley Arena. 563 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:23,520 OK. 564 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,640 Who the fuck else is on this? 565 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,080 Oh, it's a boxer card. 566 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,080 Never mind. 567 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:35,400 So yeah, nobody's going to watch this shit, especially with a at the same day, there's 568 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,280 going to be a big UFC card at the same time. 569 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,560 Yeah, this is nobody's going to watch this. 570 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,220 I'm sorry, Sergey. 571 00:24:43,220 --> 00:24:46,360 They also have nothing on Boxrec yet. 572 00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:47,360 Right. 573 00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:50,000 It doesn't matter if they do or don't. 574 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,040 Boxer does not have a whole lot to offer. 575 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,640 Who's Lipinets fighting? 576 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,600 Adam Azim. 577 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:57,600 I don't know who that is. 578 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:58,600 No, me neither. 579 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,560 He's listed as the ace side. 580 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,560 He's the boxer fighter. 581 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,560 Lipinets is not. 582 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,560 That's really it. 583 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,600 Yeah, that's not exciting. 584 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,960 No, it's not. 585 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:16,960 I mean, this is one for the nostalgic sickos. 586 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:21,560 Lipinets is the old guard kind of. 587 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:26,440 He's a high action type of fighter, so should be entertaining at the very least. 588 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:27,760 I mean, I'll watch it. 589 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,160 Is his nickname the Samurai? 590 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,560 Hold on a second. 591 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,040 It is on Boxrec. 592 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:39,280 It used to be the Union Samurai. 593 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,280 They dropped the Union. 594 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:45,360 Yeah, I think because he used to have Russia as his nationality. 595 00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:46,360 Right. 596 00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:48,960 So, I think they dropped it for that purpose. 597 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:49,960 Fair enough. 598 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:59,240 On the 24th of February, we have Junto Nakatani headlining at the Ariake Arena. 599 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,240 Yeah. 600 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,040 Tenshin Nasukawa is on this one versus Jason Maloney. 601 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,720 RIP Jason Maloney. 602 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,760 You can't hate him. 603 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:15,000 Jason Maloney is on this card, I'm 100% sure, because him and Tsutsumi are friends. 604 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,400 He goes and trains with them in Australia. 605 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:18,400 Really? 606 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,400 Yeah. 607 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:27,400 So, it's really funny because the Tsutsumi cheer section always cheers for the Maloney's 608 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,400 because they're friends. 609 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:29,400 Makes sense. 610 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,400 I'm going to stick out. 611 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,800 Although it is Tenshin, so maybe I can cheer against Tenshin. 612 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:35,800 That's fine. 613 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:36,800 Yeah. 614 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:45,000 I'm sure you haven't latched onto the anime main character that is Tenshin Nasukawa. 615 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,440 Fuck, he's so annoying and his fans. 616 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,360 If I had been in the same arenas or venues that you have, I would probably not like him 617 00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:54,360 either. 618 00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:56,440 I'm just watching from a distance. 619 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:03,080 He's not terrible, but it's just such main character syndrome and everybody feeds it. 620 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,160 He gets pop-up stores at Harajuku. 621 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,840 Why? 622 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:17,280 My appreciation started with his growth, maturation as a boxer and how much better he has gotten 623 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,480 that I've seen, that I've been able to observe. 624 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:25,040 And I've been trying to dissect because I was wanting him to kind of fall on his face. 625 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:30,400 I mean, he was like a kickboxing karate guy coming into boxing. 626 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,080 I wanted him to fail. 627 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,080 I did. 628 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,920 But seeing his growth, but I don't know. 629 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:42,120 All of the way he acts and the way he talks, the way he speaks, I know he acts like a douchebag. 630 00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:43,120 I know this. 631 00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:46,480 Well, and again, he acts like a Japanese douchebag. 632 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,240 He's not doing anything bad. 633 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,640 It's just his entire attitude and persona. 634 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,600 I don't think it's a persona. 635 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,460 No, he's cocky. 636 00:27:56,460 --> 00:28:03,560 He's super annoyingly cocky and it pisses me off that it works because nobody's been 637 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,720 able to really do anything about it. 638 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,720 Yeah, it took Mayweather picking him off as a teenager. 639 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:11,720 Yeah. 640 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,600 Well, I don't think that really counts. 641 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:14,600 I don't either. 642 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:19,960 It's just going to take like Inoue or Nakatani to do something about this. 643 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:20,960 Yeah. 644 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:21,960 Yeah. 645 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,640 He's the fighter I like to hate, to be honest. 646 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,920 I don't wish any actual ill on him. 647 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,280 I just want somebody to beat him. 648 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:31,280 Yeah. 649 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,840 Humble him a little bit. 650 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:33,840 Yeah. 651 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,720 Moving up, these are all bantamweight cards too. 652 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:37,720 That's really cool. 653 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:42,360 Sayasuzumi, the WBA bantamweight champion is fighting Daigo Higa. 654 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,600 This is an excellent first defense of your title. 655 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,740 Daigo Higa, battle tested. 656 00:28:48,740 --> 00:28:51,380 My man's been on the wrong side of decisions. 657 00:28:51,380 --> 00:28:58,060 You could argue like one or two of his losses the other way, but nonetheless, both of these 658 00:28:58,060 --> 00:29:00,140 guys come to rumble. 659 00:29:00,140 --> 00:29:02,100 This is going to be a high action fight. 660 00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:05,160 This is not going to be a boxing masterclass. 661 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,720 Definitely not. 662 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,920 I am so excited for this one. 663 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:11,920 Yeah, absolutely. 664 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,000 I guess I haven't said yet, but I bought tickets to this one. 665 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,860 It's actually while my brother's visiting. 666 00:29:17,860 --> 00:29:20,960 This is going to be my brother's first live boxing event. 667 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,520 He's so spoiled. 668 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,400 This is a good one to start with. 669 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:25,400 Yeah. 670 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:30,000 And I bought us tickets in the Tsutsumi cheer section again. 671 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:36,000 They are actually fairly loud for the Tokyo crowds, the Tsutsumi guys. 672 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:41,280 So hopefully we're in that upper tier, but the lower upper tier. 673 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,080 I don't know how to say that. 674 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,120 I know what you mean. 675 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:46,120 Yeah. 676 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,760 The first raised seats. 677 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:54,080 And I am really hoping that his squad of red leather jackets is in front of us again because 678 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,960 those guys were entertaining as hell. 679 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,800 We turned around and like yell at the crowd to cheer for him after every round when he 680 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,000 was fighting Takuma. 681 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,600 We might need to look into a merch design for like a... 682 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:10,600 For Punch Burger. 683 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:16,080 Yeah, for a banner so that you could take it with you and for the Tsutsumi section, 684 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:21,480 you just hand it to the fanboys and have them do the waving and all that. 685 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:22,480 That would be amazing. 686 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:23,480 Yeah. 687 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,520 I have no idea how I would organize that, but I'm super excited. 688 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,520 I think this is going to be a hell of a fight. 689 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:31,520 Absolutely. 690 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,360 Like, just stand in the center of the ring and throw punches. 691 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,800 I would bet the under for going the distance. 692 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:40,800 This is not... 693 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,280 They're both tough though. 694 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,280 Exactly. 695 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,280 Oh, you're right. 696 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,640 I know that's what's fucking rough is it's just that they're both willing to stand there. 697 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,640 Like Takuma will box, whereas Tsutsumi will not. 698 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,120 Daigo Higa won't either. 699 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,400 It's like just how much can they possibly take? 700 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:04,080 And Daigo Higa is getting on in years and more wars, more fights. 701 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,960 But like Higa's only been stopped once. 702 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:07,960 Yeah. 703 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,000 And that was a long time ago. 704 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,000 True dat. 705 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,480 Like seven years ago. 706 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:13,480 2018? 707 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:14,480 April? 708 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:15,480 I don't know who could... 709 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:16,480 I don't know. 710 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:21,240 I might throw a pizza bet on Seiya getting the KO. 711 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,640 But I don't think Tsutsumi is a real big puncher. 712 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,840 It's just a million punches. 713 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:28,840 Yeah. 714 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,880 Although he does have a lot of TKOs. 715 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:33,880 So... 716 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:39,600 Yeah, if he gets enough damage going, if the ref pulls the plug. 717 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:47,040 I would probably put...I don't know which, but I would put a pizza on the under for going 718 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,040 the distance. 719 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,040 Fair. 720 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,040 Yeah. 721 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,360 I'm so excited for this one. 722 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:53,360 It's really good. 723 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,560 This is a really good fight. 724 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,080 I know that there's going to be a lot of people like, eh, well, whatever. 725 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,560 It's just some random Japanese people. 726 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:01,560 So like who cares? 727 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,760 But a couple random midgets. 728 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:04,760 Right. 729 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,000 But it's going to be great. 730 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,800 I used to call them JP midges. 731 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,560 That feels racist. 732 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:12,560 It does. 733 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:13,560 Or Asian midges. 734 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,600 And it felt wrong, so I stopped using it. 735 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,680 But I felt it was endearing because I appreciate what I'm watching. 736 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,000 But I can see why that sounds... 737 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,560 It all depends on how you say it. 738 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:24,560 Context matters. 739 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:25,560 And yeah. 740 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:26,560 All right. 741 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,560 Last one on this card. 742 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,120 Junto Nakatani. 743 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,560 Junto Nakatani is fighting David Guiyar. 744 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,840 I do not recognize this guy. 745 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,680 WBC bantamweight title on the line here. 746 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:49,640 I expect the winners of this are going to face off with the expectation being that it's 747 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,920 going to be both of the Japanese fighters. 748 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,840 Yeah, I guess. 749 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:59,720 Daigo Higa doesn't count for a Japanese fighter in this context, unfortunately for him. 750 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:00,720 Yeah. 751 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:05,640 If the ref leans anyway in that fight, he's going to lean towards Tsutsumi for sure. 752 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,680 Yeah, I don't know who this Mexican guy is. 753 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,360 I kind of assumed you'd recognize him. 754 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:18,240 28 wins, 18 KOs, no losses, no draws. 755 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,160 Never fought outside of Mexico. 756 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:27,240 With certain nations, you can say that and it doesn't mean as much for others. 757 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,240 Yeah. 758 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:35,600 I mean, Mexico has a lot of good competitive boxing, but I just mean also he's... 759 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:36,600 Never left Mexico. 760 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:42,720 ...hasn't encountered too much difference in styles. 761 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:51,680 And to go with the type of Japanese fighter who typically is not too dissimilar from the 762 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:59,760 Mexican style of fighting, but this particular Japanese boxer is not cut from the same cloth 763 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,360 as everyone else. 764 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,280 Yeah, Nakatani is not a typical Japanese style. 765 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:12,560 I don't know enough of a Japanese style to bait Koyar into committing and getting counterpunched. 766 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:13,560 Yeah. 767 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:18,000 Yeah, I'm much more excited for the co-main on this one, to be honest. 768 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,000 Same. 769 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,680 I'm hopeful that at least Koyar is going to give a good enough performance to get his 770 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:28,720 name out there because Nakatani is not going to be at 118 forever. 771 00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:32,880 So having another name in the mix is always good, I feel. 772 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,920 Well, and I want to see Nakatani put in some rounds. 773 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:42,040 I've been to a couple of his fights and I've seen what, like five rounds? 774 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,640 Yeah, five or six. 775 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:45,640 Yep. 776 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,720 It's not very many. 777 00:34:47,720 --> 00:34:51,400 Moving on, Tank, Gervonta Davis versus Lamont Roach. 778 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,280 Oh, I'm sorry. 779 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,960 Is it Abdul Waheed? 780 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,160 I think is his chosen name. 781 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,960 Is it like he said that for a week? 782 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,240 Yeah, he doesn't go by it. 783 00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:05,600 So I don't know. 784 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,120 Just wanted to throw it out there. 785 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:12,480 I don't expect a lot out of Lamont Roach here. 786 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:18,960 I understand completely why you're going to take it, but I don't expect a lot out of you 787 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:19,960 here. 788 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:20,960 Sorry. 789 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,560 This is another one I'm just not very excited for. 790 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,680 Yeah, I'm not expecting a lot. 791 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:30,800 I expect that Frank Martin will have had a better performance than Lamont Roach puts 792 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:31,800 in. 793 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:37,560 March 15th, Nick Ball versus TJ Doheny. 794 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:44,080 Last time we saw Doheny, he was having back problems because he's a shitty old man. 795 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,880 So who knows what Nick Ball is going to do to him? 796 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:52,760 Yeah, I like Nick Ball, so I won't say it's what I actually want, but it would be fucking 797 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:58,000 hilarious if Doheny beats him and maybe it'll shut up some of the haters. 798 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,400 Oh, for the Innoway haters, right? 799 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,000 Yeah, Innoway haters. 800 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:07,480 Yeah, that's unlikely, but I can see why you would want that outcome. 801 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,840 I mean, I like Nick Ball, so I want him to win. 802 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,160 That's a good consolation prize. 803 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:19,960 If Nick Ball loses, some of the Innoway haters are going to have to admit that Doheny wasn't 804 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:20,960 a terrible opponent. 805 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,920 They have to double check their work a little bit. 806 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,960 I like Nick Ball because Drip likes Nick Ball. 807 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,160 He sold me on Nick Ball. 808 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:30,760 Well, that's pretty much it. 809 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,880 Yeah, Drip gets so excited. 810 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,560 But that's it that we have upcoming for new stuff. 811 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,640 Like I said, this is a light weekend, so we spend a lot more time here. 812 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:50,240 In our recaps, the one we have, December 31st, Lifetime at the Otashi Gym in Tokyo. 813 00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:52,120 Main event was fucking canceled. 814 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:53,120 Garbage. 815 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,760 Fernando Martinez versus Casito Ioka. 816 00:36:55,760 --> 00:37:00,560 I started to look into it and I don't know where the Jesse… 817 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,320 I know where it came from. 818 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,400 It was me trying to read Japanese. 819 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:05,400 Oh, okay. 820 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,080 Yeah, no, I fucked up. 821 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,440 That was entirely me trying to read a Japanese newspaper. 822 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:20,800 What got me was it's the same date in the same location, but a different year in the 823 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:25,160 Japanese calendar and it just messed me up. 824 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:30,640 Well, we still… the boys, we all rallied and we watched the card anyway. 825 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,520 It was pretty mid. 826 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,040 The card was not great. 827 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,080 The arena was half empty. 828 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,440 It was not worth staying up. 829 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:49,400 Also, did you say that the commentators said that Tsutsumi is related to Punch Burger? 830 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,760 I don't remember how I got that, but yes, I did. 831 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,080 I know I did say that. 832 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,880 As far as I can tell, they're not related at all. 833 00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:58,880 No. 834 00:37:58,880 --> 00:37:59,880 It's just the same last name. 835 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:05,480 Yeah, it would be just the same as anybody having the same last name as me. 836 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,280 It's uncommon, yes, but it's not rare. 837 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:12,440 I also don't know how uncommon Tsutsumi is. 838 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:17,080 It's not one of the top five, but I don't think it's that uncommon. 839 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,120 Seiya was there because his gym mate was fighting. 840 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:29,320 I tried my best to stalk him and get a signature, but they don't really do that here in Japan, 841 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:30,680 I don't think. 842 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:36,080 All the important people leave out a different door and they have security all around. 843 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,600 You can't get anywhere close. 844 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:40,960 That was disappointing. 845 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,800 I was really hoping… 846 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,600 I have gotten zero autographs since I came here. 847 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:52,880 I think that if they wanted to, they would give out autographs because the same here 848 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,680 in the US. 849 00:38:54,680 --> 00:39:01,440 If they want to leave out the side door, they can and they have security covering the whole 850 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,120 thing. 851 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:10,440 But typically, they choose to stay to do autographs and some… 852 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,320 Yeah, I don't think that's as much of a thing here. 853 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,320 It doesn't seem to be so. 854 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,520 It seems like you're the only one that's trying to get any autographs. 855 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:23,920 Yeah, well, I'm not trying super hard either. 856 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:31,040 I stay a little late or if I see them, I try and angle towards there, but they almost always 857 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,900 leave out a different door. 858 00:39:32,900 --> 00:39:37,280 The only people I've seen giving autographs and taking pictures and stuff are old retired 859 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:38,400 guys. 860 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:39,400 That makes sense. 861 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:40,400 Yeah. 862 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:41,400 Yeah. 863 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:42,400 Which is fair. 864 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:47,040 I mean, they don't owe me an autograph or anything, but it's also kind of fun to try 865 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:48,040 and get one. 866 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,080 Man, hold on a second. 867 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:54,920 Getting back to the lifetime card, did anything stand out to you? 868 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:59,800 Nakata KO2 over Yamashiro Aiko Yuki? 869 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:04,840 To be honest, nothing stood out to me. 870 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,800 The fights were pretty mid. 871 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:17,000 Yeah, the Hayato Tsutsumi TKO8 over Rene Alvarado was okay, but Rene Alvarado is also very much 872 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,320 on in years. 873 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:25,720 It's more surprising that it took Hayato 8 to finish it more than anything. 874 00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:26,720 Yeah. 875 00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:33,440 That Ko-Mane was two old Japanese guys that just stood in the center and banged, but nothing 876 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,320 exciting happened on this card. 877 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:39,600 I didn't see any new guys that I was like, oh, this guy's going to be something. 878 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,360 Well, yeah, I got you. 879 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,960 I mean, you watched it. 880 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:46,920 I don't remember a lot about it. 881 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:47,920 Exactly. 882 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,560 It was very forgettable, even in person. 883 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,840 The arena was half empty. 884 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:53,840 I don't know. 885 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:58,920 I honestly probably should have just got my money back, but I didn't want to sit at home 886 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,520 on New Year's Eve. 887 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:06,400 I spent more time looking for you in the crowd than I did watching the fights. 888 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:07,400 Hey. 889 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:08,400 Okay. 890 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:09,400 So that's it. 891 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:10,400 That's all we got for the previews. 892 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,880 Or the reviews, excuse me, going into the previews. 893 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,200 There is like fucking nothing, dude. 894 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,560 I'm serious. 895 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:26,640 Just to fill it up, Friday, January 17th in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, King's Promotions. 896 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,440 This is like a regional thing up in the Northeast. 897 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:36,720 I know the names that I do know is really just the main event, Kadir Albright versus 898 00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:38,320 Damien Rodriguez. 899 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:39,320 Those are just names I recognize. 900 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:44,280 These aren't people that I necessarily follow very closely. 901 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,600 I do not recognize these names. 902 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,680 Moving into Santa Ines. 903 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,960 This is 360 Promotions. 904 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:58,320 I know the name, this is third from the top, I think. 905 00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,320 I'm not sure. 906 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:03,640 Ali Akhmedov versus Malcolm Jones at Super Middleweight. 907 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:11,600 Mizuki Hiruta versus Maribel Ramirez WBO Super Flyweight title. 908 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:16,160 And then Omar Trinidad versus Mike Blania at Featherweight. 909 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:17,880 This one's not terrible. 910 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:22,040 360 Promotions is on UFC Fight Pass. 911 00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:27,520 I have a personal rule against giving UFC my money. 912 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:28,840 Ah, fair. 913 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:35,800 So yeah, if you want to watch these cards, particularly the 360 promos, you're going 914 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:40,320 to have to go to Discord, lvxmedia.net at the very top. 915 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,320 Hit the Discord button. 916 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:48,360 Yeah, I don't recognize the two women that are fighting for a title, do you? 917 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,040 No, I don't. 918 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,360 Because we should recognize them if they're fighting for a title. 919 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,800 Right, because we do keep up with this shit. 920 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:57,800 Oh, Maribel. 921 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,600 Oh, this might be me being slightly racist. 922 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,280 Maribel Ramirez's face looks very familiar. 923 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:10,600 I was about to say that Mizuki Hiruta's name does too. 924 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,000 She's the champ. 925 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,880 She's fighting. 926 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,360 She's always fought in Korokuin Hall. 927 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:21,440 Yeah, I have never seen a women's fight. 928 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,560 They're usually on like a Tuesday. 929 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,880 I've noticed that. 930 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,240 The women don't get to be on the undercard very often. 931 00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:30,560 I shouldn't say I've never seen one. 932 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,240 I think there was one on one card. 933 00:43:33,240 --> 00:43:34,720 It's a rarity. 934 00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:39,460 But she seems fun in just Googling her. 935 00:43:39,460 --> 00:43:43,440 She has the colorful hair and the crazy walkout. 936 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,960 Yeah, she makes herself seen. 937 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:46,960 Yeah. 938 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,400 Ramirez 15, 10 and 4. 939 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:55,840 Three wins by knockout, four losses by KO. 940 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,720 She's a journeyman. 941 00:43:57,720 --> 00:44:00,000 She's 38. 942 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,000 It's pretty clear what this is. 943 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,880 Yeah, but I think I've seen her fight before. 944 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,120 Probably seen her lose. 945 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,480 Yeah, with that resume, I'm certain I have too. 946 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:17,960 But still, Mizuki at super flyweight. 947 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:22,600 She's been out for over a year because she's listed as inactive. 948 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,680 Oh, it says her last fight was a year ago yesterday. 949 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:31,120 Yeah, so it's just the automatic thing on Boxerick. 950 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,520 She does seem like she only fights once a year. 951 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:34,520 She's weird. 952 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,100 Marlin Esparza is a champ here. 953 00:44:38,100 --> 00:44:40,640 This is where I point out. 954 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,560 I only ever keep up with Marlin because she's cute. 955 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,600 Erina. 956 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:55,800 Yeah, it's something that happens a lot more often on the MMA show. 957 00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,960 You're familiar with RJ from Discord? 958 00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:58,960 Yeah. 959 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:03,160 Yeah, so he's always the one for the people who don't know. 960 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:09,180 In the middle of the week, it's Pro Box or Eye of the Tiger, just these random ass cars 961 00:45:09,180 --> 00:45:12,160 that happen in the middle of the week. 962 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,320 The fights aren't great, right? 963 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:18,960 We're watching prospects build up or whatever random. 964 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:27,880 But sometimes the fights are great because they're two perfectly matched mid guys. 965 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,480 It's regional stuff. 966 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:34,480 When they're perfectly matched, then it ends up being really exciting. 967 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:42,480 But RJ, to his credit, tries to entertain the fellas with pointing out, oh, look. 968 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,400 Look at this lovely woman in the crowd. 969 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,760 Or look at the ring girls. 970 00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,640 Look at how attractive they are. 971 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:50,640 See? 972 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:56,680 This is entertaining because you like good looking women, which is absolutely true. 973 00:45:56,680 --> 00:46:04,800 So anytime there's the RJ tag and there's a good looking woman that's fighting. 974 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:05,800 Fair enough. 975 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:06,800 Yeah. 976 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:11,840 I'm still waiting for him to acknowledge that this is your namesake, man. 977 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,400 This is your legacy. 978 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:19,400 You could just fuck off out of Discord and combat sports in general and live your life. 979 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,520 I'm going to continue using RJ as the tag. 980 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:23,720 It's just always going to happen. 981 00:46:23,720 --> 00:46:26,120 It's just how it is at this point. 982 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:27,720 RJ has some legacy. 983 00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:30,120 Could be worse. 984 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:31,120 Could be worse. 985 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:32,120 Yes. 986 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:33,120 All right. 987 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:37,120 Last thing on this session of ours. 988 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,040 Saturday, January 18th. 989 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:44,840 This is in Quezon City, the metro Manila area of the Philippines. 990 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,960 Many Pacquiao promotions. 991 00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:48,460 Yes. 992 00:46:48,460 --> 00:46:51,360 There are so many fights on this car. 993 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,480 There are a lot of them, yes. 994 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:57,160 But this is regional stuff, just like anything else. 995 00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:04,080 The one at the top, the main event, Alvin Lagumbay versus Pepito Mazancay. 996 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:05,080 This is- 997 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:06,080 Pepito. 998 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:07,080 That's such a cute name. 999 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:08,080 Yeah. 1000 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:09,080 Pepito is his name. 1001 00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:13,920 So this dude's name for all intents and purposes is Little Joseph. 1002 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:14,920 Little Joe. 1003 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:15,920 Yeah, Little Joe. 1004 00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:16,920 That's not bad. 1005 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,960 No, it's not actually. 1006 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,040 So that's the top of the bill. 1007 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:26,320 Because the Philippines, like Boxing Federation, I think that they're trying to replicate the 1008 00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:30,280 JBC sort of structure. 1009 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:36,480 So I expect that we're going to be seeing whoever wins here graduate up to the OPBF 1010 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:37,640 level. 1011 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:38,880 So it's something. 1012 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:40,200 But is it great? 1013 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:41,200 No. 1014 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:45,520 This is a really unfortunate weekend for boxing. 1015 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:51,840 If you're a double sport fan, then I would suggest checking out Ultimate F'ing Casuals. 1016 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:58,400 There's actually like a big card coming up this same weekend that promises more entertainment. 1017 00:47:58,400 --> 00:47:59,400 Yeah. 1018 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,960 January is pretty light this year for boxing. 1019 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:02,960 It's usually December. 1020 00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:04,720 I think it is most years. 1021 00:48:04,720 --> 00:48:10,460 It is because typically like the Japanese pack up December from Christmas Eve all the 1022 00:48:10,460 --> 00:48:11,760 way up to New Year's. 1023 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:12,760 Yeah. 1024 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,960 Christmas Eve got canceled, the New Year's got canceled. 1025 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,640 Everything got canceled this year. 1026 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:23,080 The 26th when Ryan Garcia was supposed to fight that Ryzen guy. 1027 00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:24,880 That shit got canceled too. 1028 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:25,880 Yeah. 1029 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,680 I should have went to the New Year's Ryzen card. 1030 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,000 It sounded like it was pretty fun. 1031 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:37,680 All of the fight festival that Japan puts on, it seems like they save a lot of their 1032 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,040 good stuff for that. 1033 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:44,560 Even like a New Japan pro wrestling puts on big stuff at that time. 1034 00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:51,000 I am considering getting us tickets to a professional wrestling match in Korokuen when my brother's 1035 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:55,120 here because I think pro wrestling is something you have to do in a group. 1036 00:48:55,120 --> 00:49:01,080 Grab his dick and twist it, I think is the go-to. 1037 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:02,640 It's going to be great. 1038 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,140 Yeah, that would be fun. 1039 00:49:05,140 --> 00:49:06,780 Just an empty week. 1040 00:49:06,780 --> 00:49:15,040 It is not the best week for boxing. 1041 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:19,920 Thanks for listening to this episode of The Boxing B-Sides, a Lux Media production. 1042 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,920 If you'd like to give your thoughts or you're dying to tell us

00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:33,880 So heading into the... this is not a bottomless pit because this... 1063 00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:34,880 We're gonna get out of it. 1064 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:35,880 It's just like a really... 1065 00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:36,880 I don't know. 1066 00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,880 Is this like a dark forest weekend for boxing? 1067 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,720 We just gotta work our way through it. 1068 00:50:43,720 --> 00:50:44,720 Just gotta keep walking. 1069 00:50:44,720 --> 00:50:45,720 Yep. 1070 00:50:45,720 --> 00:50:49,920 It's not gonna help you to stop and look around, see what the fuck is coming because there 1071 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,040 isn't anything around that's gonna make you feel better. 1072 00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,640 Unless you're a double sport fan, in which case, yeah. 1073 00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:58,080 I am not. 1074 00:50:58,080 --> 00:50:59,880 Yeah, go do that. 1075 00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:05,000 But if you're a boxing purist, it's gonna be a rough one. 1076 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,920 Yeah, well and even like the next little while is gonna be rough. 1077 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,080 Oh shit. 1078 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:11,080 With Goodman. 1079 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,280 Because I was looking forward to the Inouye fight. 1080 00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:15,280 Inouye Goodman, yeah. 1081 00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,280 That was supposed to be the saving grace. 1082 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:22,040 But Goodman dropping out, that fucks the end of January too. 1083 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,320 I will be sending him a strongly worded letter. 1084 00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:26,800 Such a dumbass move. 1085 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,880 How do you do it twice? 1086 00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:29,880 Twice. 1087 00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:30,880 Like what? 1088 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:31,880 What the fuck? 1089 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:37,080 Alright, that's the end of man, we're gonna do our best. 1090 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,280 We're gonna carry you through this. 1091 00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:44,440 If nothing else, for entertainment purposes, ultimate effing casual, just because there's 1092 00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:49,800 stuff going on over there, it's just fun banter about the sport, even if you don't know what 1093 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,640 the fuck we're talking about, it's still fun. 1094 00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:52,920 I can tell you that much. 1095 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:57,440 Yeah, I listen to it even though I don't know any of the fighters and I have no interest 1096 00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:58,440 in watching UFC. 1097 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:02,200 A good entertaining hour of your time. 1098 00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,080 So there you go. 1099 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:09,280 Otherwise, you stay locked in here with the BoxingBeeSides and we're gonna stay locked 1100 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:10,280 in with you. 1101 00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:14,040 Because us sickos have to stick together. 1102 00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,480 Alright, we will see you next time. 1103 00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:18,480 Bye. 1104 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:27,120 Thanks for watching.
