The B -Side in boxing. B -Side shit. B -Side.
B -Side. And the B -Side. You got a B -Side.
The B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. The B
-Side thing. This is the B -Sides Boxing Podcast.
Alright. Ready for part two. Round two. I heard
round two. I heard that in Street Fighter. Oh,
yeah. All right. Boxing B -sides. Holy shit.
We're back. Like always. All up in your fucking
ears. Joined by the homies. The one and only
Alex. And Josh, do you want a moniker of some
kind to add on to yours? I'm good. I'm just going
to say Pro Box good every time, though. All right.
That's a good. call tag. Just like how Alex's
catchphrase is Don King good. Well, actually,
Josh's catchphrase is fighters should get paid
like the fighters in the UFC. Come on. Sadly,
I have a paper trail. I cooked them right there.
There is a paper trail on that one. On the Lux
Media website here. I guess I gotta post a refractory
paper on why Don King's bad. Yeah. I'm gonna
start writing papers about why Don King is the
most horrible man in the world. Listen, man,
I need to write more, period. I have not been
great at that lately. Josh is never gonna let
me down with that Don King shit, but... Hell
no, that's your intro every week. Awkward. I'm
gonna be texting him, too. Bro's trying to get
me fired, dude. Nah. No, it's all in good fun.
I know, I know. We have fun here at Lex Media.
That's what we do. Yeah. Let's extend the olive
branch over to the homies at UF Ultimate F and
Casuals. I was going to say UF Cas. That's what
I usually call it, shorthand. Anyway, Saturday,
June 7th, UFC 316. Not sure how familiar you
guys are with this, so I'll just keep it to the
main event. I'm on Murab's Wikipedia right now.
I got this. All right. Murab Dwalishvili versus
Sean O'Malley, the rematch. Murab is the Bantamweight
champion. Over there, that's 135. So Sean O'Malley,
he's a bit of a beanpole, but he fights out of
Phoenix, so I'm on the team, Sean. He already
beat O'Malley once, apparently. He fucking schooled
O'Malley. O'Malley. Are we doing this again because
of the money? Or is O'Malley actually deserving
of being here? O'Malley was the champion at the
time, so he's getting his rematch clause pretty
much. Oh, okay. I don't see us going any better
for O'Malley. Yeah. They still really want to
push O'Malley. Yeah, they're really trying to
make him a thing. What I do know is that they
have basically no stars left. It's all like Dagestani
types. Wrestlers. A bunch of wrestlers. It's
like late -stage capitalism over there. The bubble
has also burst, so you know what? At least the
bubble has burst, but a little worse. No, they're
bad. They're bad, dude. They're bad. UFC? They're
down bad, but it's like... The way I see it,
the bubble burst in terms of your stars at the
same time. But that's due to, I guess, people
optimizing the sport, though. Yeah, it's the
evolution of the sport, where the wrestling type,
specifically the Russian, the Dagestani wrestlers,
they've been having a long string of dominance,
just the same way judo guys did for a bit. And
BJJ guys did originally. Yeah, exactly. The sport
evolves where certain styles take over for a
little while, but it evens itself out. I'm sure.
Man, people complain about the striking, but
also you're watching the right sport. If you
want to watch boxing, watch boxing. Watch some
Muay Thai or watch some boxing. There were sports
for this that are not MMA if you don't want to
watch ground game. If you don't want to watch
wrestling, I say it every time, Muay Thai. Every
single time I will tell you Muay Thai. On Friday,
June 6th, at 5 .30 in the morning, just like
they have it every week, one Friday fights. Just
watch it, yeah. There's always, always some crazy
knockouts. Or Power Slap. Yeah. When I watch
it, yeah. Power Slap. Power Slap is the... Power
Slap if you are brain dead. Bro, I liked Power
Slap when it was like a Russian thing, like Russian
rednecks doing it. Because it was like, these
guys just do it for fun. Now it's like Americanized
gingerbread. Like it was like, it's like watching
a horror movie or like car accident compilations.
It's not something... You don't seriously...
Watching Power Slap is literally just like watching
a car accident compilation. It's just... It's
something to watch, I guess. Like Family Guy
funny moments? Yeah, like your dopamine... Your
dopamine is so fried that this is... You can't
even watch actual sports for the knockout. You
just... Need the highlight reel? You just...
Yeah, you just, you can't even be bothered to
look at the highlight reel. Like, you just want
the knockout period. So, like, your dopamine
smoke ride. I'll watch Power Slap and then watch
a Shakur fight to wash it down. Or at the end
of every round, switch to Power Slap. Yeah. Yeah,
literally, yeah. Subway Surfers in the corner.
Yeah, put Subway Surfers in the corner. The curve
fight on the top half and the power slap on the
bottom half. Dude, I'm fucking dead. Right in
the middle, you stick a Family Guy compilation.
You know the thing they use in Men in Black to
wipe your brain? That's basically what it would
feel like to watch that. That's not even as bad
as the other shit they have nowadays. I'd rather
hit a whip than watch that, honestly. I'd rather
do Nitrous. Honestly, yeah. I'd rather take Nitrous
than watch another Shakur fight. Oh my god. I'm
joking. I'm pretty sure Shakur does Nitrous.
That's why we're here. By the way, his hand's
all fucked up. Didn't someone accuse Shakur of
doing whippets while he was on the Olympic team?
Did they? Yeah, who was it? It wasn't Richardson
Hitchens. It was on Twitter. Or Stevenson Whippets.
Whippets. Yeah, here it is. Shakur Stevenson.
Or Shacky Foster. Or Shacky Foster, yeah. Accused
Shakur of doing Whippets when they were on the
Olympic team. I was just jealous. Honestly, I
believe it, though. You know what? I got to say
it. I got to say I believe it. You can do whatever
you want. You know what? He still puts me to
sleep at night. He fixes my dopamine receptors.
Oh, man. Oh, well. What's next? Moving into some
news here. July 19th. Usyk Dubuatu and Bam Rodriguez
versus Pumelale Kapu. What a name. It's good
stuff. Pacquiao. Pacquiao. Is that the same name?
Pacquiao Barrios is not news. That is a tragedy
that this fight is made. You know what? It's
going to get made, and you know what? I'm still
going to watch it. I don't even like Pacquiao
that much, but I don't even think he deserves
to get his ass beat that much. You don't like
Pacquiao? I like Pacquiao as a fighter. Okay,
okay, okay. But if you care, look up why he lost
his Nike sponsorship. I know what he said. No,
I know. Yeah, I know what he said. Okay. The
person, he's been really controversial. And I
don't think we should have him on the show anymore.
Yeah. Pacquiao, you're not allowed to promote
your failed presidential campaigns on this show.
As a fighter, though, he's legendary. He was.
We need the heavy emphasis on was. Well, you
never know. He might beat Barrios. He might beat
Barrios. The Ugas who beat Pacquiao couldn't
even beat Barrios. Lightning in a bottle, buddy.
Lightning in a bottle. Lightning in a bottle.
I think Barrios is never going to live it down
if he loses to Pacquiao. I do want Pacquiao to
win just because that would be one of the greatest
comebacks in all. Actually, no, you know what?
You're right. You're right. Pacquiao beats Barrios
and then he fights Boots. Oh, that would be horrible.
Okay, no. You're right. It's crazy. You're right.
You're right. My thing is I would actually want
Barrios to fight Pacquiao. Pacquiao wins, retires,
and they get the title. Then it goes to Devin
Haney. Devin Haney fights Boots. Devin Haney
wins. Devin Haney bites Brian. Devin Haney wins.
Nah, nah, we're not doing this. No, that's just
rage bait right here. I'm trying to get people
to come out. We're not doing the rage bait. Either
way, that's a good day of boxing right there.
It is a good day of boxing. It is a good day
of boxing. Usyk Dubois, I think it goes the same
way, except Dubois doesn't quit. I want Dubois
to win that fight. Just a little bit. I love
Usyk. I love Usyk, but that comeback story would
be legendary. I can't do... I can't justify it
because, like, you'll get guys... Like, you know
how Klitschko's been trying to come back lately
to break the record? Mm -hmm. And I'm like, fuck.
Maybe it's actually possible for Klitschko to
beat Dubois. It is. I'll tell you this. It's
very possible. Usyk, if... When Usyk fights Dubois,
that's gonna be... Usyk's biggest chance at losing
just because of politics, if it goes 12. Yeah.
As I said last time, oh, not if I said last time,
but as I was saying before the last podcast,
the politics with Queensborough and then Dubois
being promoted, I think Frank Warren can do some
bullshit. You know what I mean? Yeah. Oh, you're
right. We'll see when that fight happens. Bam
obviously wins. It's going to be a hard fight.
A really hard fight, but Bam wins. And hopefully
Pacquiao wins. Who's the other champs at super
flyweight? Puma. Puma, and I think the other
one's vacant. That's right. The vacant one. You're
right. Absolutely. Let's start the recaps now.
Yep. We had a nice week -ish, not really. So
we had Terry Harper in Keep Boat Stadium. I guess
they didn't want to get rid of it. Terry Harper
versus Natalie Zimmerman. That was just an ass
-beating, and it got bloody at the end. Natalie
did not belong in the same ring, and Terry Harper
made that clear. Good for her. Yeah, that's how
you're supposed to do it. Maxie Hughes fucking
stunk it out. I would say Archie Sharp stunk
it out. And Maxie Hughes did nothing to make
it smell any better. Yeah. Yeah. Maxie Poo? Yeah.
Maxie Poo. Maxie Poo and Archie Sharp. There
you go. Perfect. There we go. Yeah, that fight
was fucking terrible. It was pretty goddamn boring.
Max Hughes got robbed by George Kampupus. He
did. He did. He did. He did. I will say. That's
okay, though. Richardson Hitchens will be in,
like, negative second gear and still beat Kamposos
by UD. That's the thing about Kamposos, dude.
I truly feel like he has, like, some beef. Or
not beef. They have some, like, blackmail. against
all these promoters, dude, because how the fuck
is he getting title shots? Kambosas? Yeah, Kambosas,
dude. I think they know he's a hate watch. He's
definitely a hate watch, and he's got the Australian
fan base from when he beat Teofimo. Yeah, that's
true. Because, yeah, just a bunch of split decisions,
majority decisions. This fucking resume, man.
Holy shit. Because I actually thought he barely
beat Lee Selby, too, before getting the shot
with Lopez. Moving on. Saturday, May 24th, Pro
Box Good, Kameda Promotions. Oh, yeah. They only
had two fights on here, and those are the only
ones I really wanted to point out. Anyway. Pedro
Taduran split decision over Ginjiro Shigeoka.
That was the IBF minimum weight title. Pedro
keeps it. Haven't heard much about Ginjiro yet.
He was hospitalized after the fight. He was looking
pretty fucking rough. Hopefully he pulls through,
honestly. I hope so. He looked better. Like,
remember a while ago, Anaguchi, he fought Tsutsumi
and Anaguchi. Like, they dragged him out. He
didn't get up and get on a stretcher on his own.
Yeah. They did, what was it, with Morel and Yerbo
Lusuni. Yeah. Same thing, right? Yeah. Yeah,
he was able to get on a stretcher on his own.
Shit like that just reminds you that boxing ain't
a game, bro. Yeah. We shouldn't take it as lightly,
you know? No, I know. Yeah, that's why I don't
like to really shit on fighters if they don't
take a fight I like. Well, I try not to. No,
I know. I don't mind fighters not taking fights
and everything. I just... There's some points
where you can just say it. There's no shame in
just saying it. To me, at least. I don't think
this fight makes sense for me at this time. It's
fine with me. I agree. That's just me. It would
be nice if they just say it. That's it. We had
that discussion with Brian Norman last week where
just admit it. I don't... Like, don't contribute
to the culture of hyperinflation. You can just
say it. Moving up, Angelo Leo barely retains
his IBF 126 title against Tomoki Kameda. I thought
it was, I don't know, I kind of felt like Tomoki
did enough. But it was also really close, so
I'm not really fussed either way. I don't know.
I think it could have gone either way. It could
have, yeah. It could have easily gone either
way. I think they probably just favored Andrew
Leo. In my opinion, I think it should have been
a draw. I think it was just that close that I
don't think that either one really won the fight.
Neither did they win the fight. I don't mind
the decision. Yeah, I don't mind it. Like, not
in turn. Yeah, like, it could have been, like,
in close fights like this, you just have to say,
okay. Especially because the scorecards did reflect
it. Exactly. It is what it is. It's not a robbery.
It's just the judges saw close rounds one way.
That's what it is. Even wide scorecards for these
types of close fights are fun because if you
have a lot of close rounds, one guy can just
barely steal all of them from your angle. Right.
I used to have to remind people of that a lot.
Like, whenever they say, oh, these scorecards
are atrocious. It wasn't that wide. Nobody is
saying that it was wide. They're saying that
each individual round was won by one person.
It just so happened to be the same guy every
time. It's like with Adelaide Bird and Noah.
Okay, but he didn't win those rounds. He didn't
win those rounds. That's a great point. Is that
your new one? Adelaide Bird Good? Is that your
new fucking name? Adelaide Bird Good. Adelaide
Bird Good is a crazy name. I was saying that
Josh said that. I was just saying that Josh said
that. That's it. Adelaide, I don't know. I heard
you say Adelaide Bird Good. Oh, you guys were
saying that. You guys were just saying that a
scorecard like Adelaide Bird's was valid. Oh,
man. People call in and say why Josh was wrong.
Oh, my God. Put the number in. You can see the
number. Yeah, 833 -589 -7637. Why is my Golovkin
7 -5 over Canelo in the first fight? Why is my
scorecard wrong? Because Adelaide Bird is good.
His podcast is over, bro. Yeah. Anything more
for Angel Leo? No. Yeah, no. All right. Fucking...
Queensberry in Glasgow. Oh, Lord. Moses in Toronto.
This card wasn't bad. I actually like this card.
Shockingly, despite being the most Brit slop
card imaginable, it's pretty good. I find it.
They put a little bit of salt and pepper on the
slop. They see it. All stoppages except for the
main for once. Yeah, that was actually kind of
surprising. Yeah. Brits are starting to get their
shit together just a little bit. Once. Yeah.
Moses Itama stops Mike Balugin in the second.
I think that's how they were pronouncing it on
the broadcast. But Brits also sometimes fuck
up names, I think, on purpose. Nathaniel Collins
stops Lee McGregor in four. This one I didn't
see. Did I miss a good little scrap while it
lasted? Not much. No? All right, cool. Collins
doing what he should have done. Yeah. Got the
job done adequately. Yeah. Lynn, why should I
care about Nathaniel Collins? Why don't you take
some notes for me? Let me know. Ekow Esumin gets
the UD over Josh Taylor. I thought this was pretty
deserved. I didn't think there was any controversy
behind it anyway. No. Not sure why Josh Taylor
was all pouty, like, bitch, you should have done
more. Because SMN was working. Like, his nickname,
The Engine, was fully on point. The dude did
not stop working every round. Give him boots.
Give him boots. 1 .3 million to fight Brian Harmon.
You might have to. You might have to. You might
have to fight boots. I do not want to see Josh
Taylor. Yeah, I hope this is the end of Josh
Taylor in any significant level. Probably won't
be, but one can hope. It definitely won't be.
He's on the floor, but he's got to be dragged
around on the floor a bit more. Much like a Trappo
would be. Oh, yeah. He's in Trappo. He's in Trappo
mode. That's unfortunate. He had a good run,
Josh Taylor. Yeah, for a while. I want to look
at welterweight really quick and see what could
be possible for Esserman. Realistically, anyway.
Just saying, oh, he can fight Boots now. Come
on. That's a joke, Jack. He's not fighting Boots.
Keon... I mean, he can fight Brian Norman. He
does have a WBO trinket, so that would put him
in that line. He can totally fight Ryan Norman.
Harlem Eubank? I know Harlem has something coming
up. Oh, Jack Catterall, that's right. Jack Catterall's
still around. That's it. Yeah. Alexis Rocha?
Yeah, actually. Yeah. Sadly. Holy shit. I didn't
know this. After Fighting Boots, Stanionis dropped
to number 22 on BoxRec. It is BoxRec, so, you
know, take it with a grain of salt and everything.
But 22? Like, Karen Chikadzian is above Stanionis
right now. Yeah, I feel like it's just the algorithm.
I know it's the algorithm, but god damn. Tone
it down a little bit. Inactivity plus bad loss.
That does it. Definitely does it. Essendon's
at 31. Give him Brian Norman. Give him Brian
Norman. He should have Brian Norman after he's
done with Jin Sasaki. Assuming he wins. I'm kind
of assuming. We'll get to that when we get to
that. Yeah, we will. Anything more for Queensberry?
No. That knockout was kind of crazy. As Yatamas
want to do. Good highlight. I'm happy. I'm happy
that we have a guy. Step back check hook. That
was pretty good. That was sexy. Into a face plant.
I love real KO. Alright. Support for this episode

Eye of the Tiger. I haven't checked since I first
wrote this down, but it doesn't look like there's...
I'm sure there's opponents by this point, but
I haven't checked, and I honestly don't know
who these guys are anyway. Still TBA. So, Eye
of the Tiger on ESPN on a Thursday. You want
boxing? They've got boxing. So, there you go.
Listen, these guys do go on Facebook asking for
opponents sometimes. Sometimes. Oh, well, so,
yeah, if you've got nothing going on on Thursday
night, you want to go to Montreal. You weigh
175. If you want to go gamble your winnings,
you can, like, triple your winnings. What's his
name? I have a Tiger Fighter. Is he? Yeah. The
casino's a nice venue, honestly. Very nice venue,
but that's all I have to say. It's pretty cool
that they have fights every Thursday, pretty
much. It's the same way when Provox was on Wednesdays.
Provox puts on much better quality fights. Let's
not try to conflate them in that regard. I have
the Tiger Thursday nights when you're a fucking
degenerate. There's you want something. I have
the Tigers there. Yeah, you need it. You need
your fix. And I have the Tigers got you. Moving
to Friday, June 6th at the Turning Stone Resort
and Casino in Barona, New York. Salida Promotions
on DAZN. Sorry, my dog was having a little. Oh,
yeah. This is a card. It's a card. One of the
cards of all time. Yeah, exactly. Saturday, June
7th. You know what there is on June 7th? There's
a Pro Box card. Is there? Yes. How did I miss
it? main event just in paldo and uh let me see
what's the opponent as much as i love pro box
i'm sorry i'm watching the other one i'm watching
the other card no you're right i'm just i just
gotta i gotta glaze on carlos burgos it's a little
bit oh that's right i forgot about this card
Paldo's actually good, having stopped Rakimov.
Paldo... That's right. That was on the last card.
That was Rakimov's last fight. Yeah. Exactly.
Gotta bring that up. Burgos, he's definitely
getting ran over. He's food. It's kind of his
job. He's a jobber. High -level jobber. He hates
the food. Yeah, he's quality food. Church's Chicken.
The Church's Chicken glazed these past couple
weeks. These past couple weeks? I don't mind
it either. It deserves the glaze. Church's Chicken
is pretty fire, bro. Yeah. If you disagree, tell
me. Call me. 833 -LUX -PODS. Why is church's
chicken good or bad? I used to have it a lot
as a kid. That was the treat that we would get.
That's your treat. Every once in a while, mom
didn't feel like cooking or dad didn't feel like
cooking. I got to drive down to the hood for
that shit. That's where I lived, so that's what
we got. You would never see a church chicken
in a nice area. No, that's one of the signs that
you're like, when I'm driving down whatever street,
I'm like, oh, a church's. Haven't seen one of
those in a minute. Oh, I know where I am. Okay.
Less than savory parts of my city. So, yeah,
that's the Provox card that I completely forgot
about. That one's at the Boeing Center in San
Antonio. Santone. Oh, that's not even a bad center.
No, it's a nice venue. And San Antonio's are
the good fighting cities. They'll always have
good crowds. Yeah. Oh, yeah. They have a lot
of other shit on here. It's Provox. You can catch
it on YouTube. It's literally free, guys. It's
free. You don't have to subscribe to anything.
If you have malwarebytes, you can block the ads,
too. Just a little fun bit there. Guys, ProBox
is not good. ProBox is amazing. I scared you.
You did. You got me. I was like, oh, where's
this going? We were about to kick you off the
show, bro. I was actually about to get fired
right there. Yeah, you're done. You're done.
Boeing Center. Do y 'all see what Shanada said
in the chat? Something about wiping a floor?
I don't get it. Oh, because you had the T and
then the thing about missing. Yeah. Yeah, that's
pretty funny. That's just Canadian. That's just
Canadian Slim. Yeah. That's pretty funny. All
right. Now we can start. We're past Pro Box.
Now we can get going. Well, it's always important
to point out Pro Box. Always. Matchroom at the
Gold Coast Convention Center in Broad Beach,
Australia. Ooh, baby. Jai Apatia versus Who Gives
a Shit. That's really all there is going on on
this whole card. Tyler Blizzard has a pretty
cool name, so that's fun. He's okay. I've seen
him fight a few times. He's alright. Just Australian.
Very Australian card. Oslop. Oh man, they have
this 7 '2 heavyweight jobber on the cards that
they used to have on these. It was pretty fun
to watch fight because he looked like the inflatable
man at a car dealership. Nice. Like 7 '2, but
he was born yesterday. So he's like a Bambi?
Bambi legs? Yeah, he had the Bambi legs the whole
time. Julius Long. What a fucking name to have
when you're 7 '2". Julius Long, I remember. Sorry,
7 '1". Oh. But Julius Long, I miss him. He was
always on these cards. That brother's got to
give you some inches. 18 and 28. He was just
hilarious to watch fight. Like, he actually,
like... Genuinely so entertaining. Not even for
any boxing reasons. Australian Ben Whittaker.
Australian Ben Whittaker. The headline, Jai Opataya
versus Claudio, what is this, Squeo? Yeah, Squeo.
Not Zerto. Yeah, not Zerto. what we're seeing
here yeah uh but there you go that's the uh australian
card moving to queensberry oh the australian
card that's going to start about one uh one or
two in the in the morning on the west coast the
queensberry card that'll be starting around 10
or 11 i don't have don't remember the exact time
but it's around that area This one, if that was
Aussie slop, this is Brit slop because there's
not a whole lot going on here. Maybe if Lynn
was here, she could tell us, but I have no idea.
Fabio Wardley for Justice Hooney. That's what
I got. I don't got much to say about that one,
honestly. I don't know. I'm not sure. I'm not
a big follower of Wardley other than, you know...
The Frazier -Clark fights? Yeah. Yeah, same here.
Justice Hooney is... Alice, you know what? I
can't even say it anymore. Every fight I've been
like... Every fight I've been like, ah, this
will be the one to finally get rid of Fabio Wardley.
I'm done. I can't do this anymore. You can't
keep getting away with this! Like, I remember...
Like, I've been a hater since Eric Molina hurt
him. He fought Eric Molina? Eric Molina hurt
him. And then immediately, like, folded and died.
Wow. Eric Molina hurt him. And I'm like... And
since then, I've been like, alright, this guy's
a fraud. And then, it just... He just keeps winning.
Maybe he's not that much of a broad. He just
keeps winning with increasingly comical knockouts.
He's going to be doing... I remember saying in
like 2021, his ceiling was like Alan Babbage.
What year? Like 2021. Yikes. I said his ceiling
was like Alan Babbage after watching Eric Molina
put him on ice skates. He hasn't really surpassed
the Alan Babbage level, though. He's not that
far ahead of it. Like, Justice Hooney is alright,
but... Yeah, I mean, I was honestly... The David
Adelaide ass beatdown was one where I was just
like, I give up. I quit. I had hope. You didn't
have hope after the first Frasier Clark fight,
though? No, the Frasier Clark fight happened
after David Adelaide. Yeah, I mean, you didn't
have hope that he could still lose? Like, that
didn't renew? Well, I didn't have hope in Frasier
Clark. Like, he's someone who only got onto,
like, the British national team because everyone
else turned pro. Like... Like, Frazier Clark's
amateur success is just because he outlasted
AJ and Joe Joyce and, like, anyone good in the
amateur game. Saying Joe Joyce in the amateur
game. Being good is, uh... Does he do a lot about
the amateur heavyweight games? Yeah. I mean,
there's a clip of Joe Joyce comically knocking
Frazier Clark out in the amateurs. I haven't
seen that one, but I bet it's good. I'll send
it to the chat. It's really fun. He's almost
taking the ring with him. Hold up, Joshua. Hold
up. Hold up the clip. Hold that clip, Joshua.
Oh, boy. He almost went over the top rope. That's
what I mean. He just gets his ass beat horribly.
Yeah. This is back when Joe Joyce had the hand
speed of a middle schooler instead of a geriatric.
Paraplegic geriatric, yeah. This is Juicy Mania
right here. That's what I mean, though. Honestly,
the fight probably should have been stopped and
got bent over the top rope. Considering it was
an amateur fight. That's crazy. I'm surprised
it went on that long. But they just let Joyce
keep beating his ass. They gave him an eight
count after that? Yeah. Anything more for Queensberry?
Nope. Top rank in Norfolk, Virginia. There's
only three fights on here that I found on BoxRec.
They usually publish their shit on their own
websites, though. You have to be an approved
editor to fucking edit boxes. It's not Wikipedia.
Keyon Davis versus Michael A. Velez Garcia. Six
rounds. That's whatever. Keon Davis is definitely...
He's one of the boxers of all time. Yeah. Abdullah
Mason versus Jeremiah Nakatilla. I'm more interested
in this than the main event. I am too. This is
a big step up for Abdullah. Nakathalia is like...
No, but he's real. That's the thing. He's a real...
He's a good test. Real. Real game opponent. Yeah,
he has some losses, but, like, it is what it
is. It's not like he goes away. Unless you're
Damien Shakur -Stevenson, in which case Shakur
went away from him for 12 rounds. This is a bigger
step than what Giovanni Cabrera could have been.
Oh, yeah. Like, I don't know. Like, I'm a...
Like, Nakathalia is definitely just, like...
I rate him from beating up Burchelt. Take that
as it may. But he's definitely, like, this is
a good, good step for Abdullah Mason. He's graduating
from the top -ranked protection program. He's
not a prospect after this fight, in my opinion.
I think after this fight, he becomes a contender.
He's a contender, yeah. I know we were saying
last time, like, he's not a prospect anymore.
Like, we kind of had a discussion about that.
No, this time, he's for sure going to become
a contender if he wins. Yeah, there's no question
about it anymore. With this kind of win. After
this fight, he's going to start fighting the
Tevin Farmers. If they pay to lose, you know.
If Nav moves up again for some fucking reason.
If he wins, of course. But it is going to be
a tough fight. For sure. I believe that Villa
Mason gets it done in the mid -lates. It's like
the 7 -8 -9 sort of area. I can see it going
the distance, honestly. It could. It could, but
I think if Villa Mason pulls it out. Yeah, I
think he's going to get it done. Hopefully. Main
event. Main event, Keyshawn Davis versus Edwin
De Los Barfos. Jesus, Keyshawn, please put this
guy out to pasture. Someone's going down. Someone's
going down. Yeah, the audience after the fucking
De Los Santos and Shakur fight. Every night.
Fuck. I mean... Keyshawn needs to get this done.
I'll tell you this. I think you guys are kind
of... Underestimating Edwin De Los Santos. Yeah,
that boy still got power in his hands, dude.
I know. I'm just estimating Keyshawn, like, how
he... How he should... Like, where he should
be at this point. I think Keyshawn stops him.
Yeah, like, Keyshawn should stop him. This is
gonna be... I guarantee this is gonna be a fun
fight, dude. Yeah. It's just, like, it's disappointing
if Keyshawn does not stop him. Sure, yeah. But
I doubt that Keyshawn is going to go the distance
to them and make it boring like it should occur.
No, this fight is going to be gangbusters. I
know I say that a lot in this podcast, but I'm
going to make the bold statement of recommending
this card to casuals. Honestly, it's gangbusters.
Not like casuals who don't know. Casuals who
watch a couple boxing fights a year. Yeah, yeah,
exactly, yeah. I recommend that to them. Not
to, like, the Canelo casuals. Boxing casuals
versus casual sports fans? Yeah. This fight's
going to be really good. And the thing is that
also with... I don't know if you guys saw my
text in the server. EDLS is only 25 years old.
Surprisingly. I thought he was older. He's literally
25. Yeah, he's 25 years old. Yeah, interesting.
That guy, he feels like he's been around forever,
but he's not even in his prime yet. He's got
fast hands, he's got power. He does have a chin,
a glass chin, when we saw with Ryo. But I'll
tell you this, he's going to come out to fight.
I'm pretty sure after this fight, this is probably
his last fight for a while in title contention.
Oh, yeah. But if he shows out this fight, I at
least hope he shows out, you know? Yeah. I mean,
Lord knows that boy is a counter -puncher, you
know? Both of those boys. Kishon, he's going
to bring it. You know that for sure. Kishon's
going to bring it. It's not going to be like
Shakur. Man, I... I don't know. Yeah, I'm not
seeing what you're seeing. I'm hopeful that it
can be exciting, but I'm not. I don't have that
much faith in De Los Santos. I think I'm putting
too much stock in the Shakur fight. I'm thinking.
You got to look back with Ryo. That fight with
Ryo was crazy. Yeah, it was fun. I remember.
Yeah, that fight with Ryo was amazing. I mean,
of course, being on Robert Helanious, undercard,
bro. It was as good as that card could have gotten.
You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. The reason
why that Shakur fight was so bad was because
of Shakur. Most of it was... Yeah, as things
generally are. Like, that boy... There's a reason
why Shakur ran the whole fight. Yeah, he just
got popped. Yeah, that boy got popped. Keyshawn
don't run. That's why I'm saying it's going to
be a fun fight. Yeah. Anything more for this
top -ranked card? Yeah, not really. Yeah, I'm
going for Keyshawn on this one, but I'm more
interested in Abdullah Mason. Absolutely. And
more than that, I'm more interested in the Sunday
card. Yeah, thank you. Very good setup. Tokyo,
the Tokyo Prefecture. That's like a county or
something that they have there. At the Inkoto
City. Ariake Coliseum, not the arena. Fucking
Junto Nakatani headlining. Let me look up real
quick. Tenshin Nasukawa. This is the first card
from the bottom up that I'm pointing out. Victor
Santillan. 10 rounds at 118. They're building
up Nasukawa to either he's going to be like the
last fight before Nakatani leaves 118 or he's
going to fill the void once he does. Oh, yeah.
This is going to be a really cool fight. It'll
be. I think it's going to be entertaining. I
don't remember who. I think it was you, Alex.
I told Tenshin Nasukawa was like the Japanese
Lomachenko. Yeah, you told me that. That's right.
I'm watching this fight with close eyes. I was
sold on Nasukawa when beating Maloney like that.
Oh, hell yeah. Even Shinada had to admit that
was a pretty impressive win. Yeah. That's Shinada,
bro. She fucking hates Nasukawa. Why? Because
he's a douchebag. Well, yeah. He's an arrogant,
cocky fucking douchebag like Lomachenko was.
Who's going to be on the podcast one day, right?
Maybe he gets beat. I don't know. I don't know.
I don't mind it. I don't mind it because I do
not see it. That's the... Exactly. That's exactly
what I say. I'm not there. I don't know what
he's like in the media or anything. Yeah. Kazuto
Ioka is the exception. I know how bad he is.
He's not that bad. Is he? His relationship with
the Japanese commission has reached the West,
which is... That must be bad. That is bad. Like
they hate him. They hate him. The commission
actively does not like him. So that's that's
reached the West. So that's that's how I know
like it's bad. But like if you haven't reached
the West that you're like with how you are like
it's not that bad. Especially with how quick
boxing media is to tear down like non -Western
fighters. Like point. If the excuse is there,
it's there. Anyways. Moving up. Shinada can tell
you more about him, but Tomoya Tsuboi is fighting
Van Tao Tran, also at Bantamweight. Is this for
a Japanese title or WBO Asia Pacific? Okay. I
usually don't write down the trinkets. No, Thao
Tran is a Vietnamese fighter. Okay. The Trigger
is a cool nickname, I must say. This is a bit
of a bantamweight bonanza here. Yeah, they usually
do that. Guys in similar weight classes. That's
good. Good, good. Again, all these fights should
be fun. I have faith. Yeah, the Japanese come
to Rumble. Yeah. And headlining, Junto Nakatani
versus Ryosuke Nishida. The WBC and IBF champs
are unifying titles. Cool. Very cool fight. It'll
be good. And then Nakatani's probably going to
put Nishida out the pasture. I think it goes
late. Like, it'll be a late stoppage for sure.
Yeah, Nishida's pretty sound. He's not a pushover
anyway. Yeah, it's just like, we're actual legitimate
world champion versus generational talent. So,
be that as it may. Fun fight, for sure. Yeah,
it's good. That's all we got, though. A lot of
cards, but it's either here are some solid key
ones to pay attention to, or hey, it's a card
on Thursday. If you're in Montreal and into gambling,
then yeah, go watch that card. Or just go watch
the card. You don't even necessarily have to
hit the casino. Yeah, I guess. That's it. Anything
more for the Taken card? No. This is a good card.
I'm glad it's available. Yeah. Oh, that's right.
It's on ESPN. I don't know if I mentioned that.
It's on ESPN. I'm very happy it is available.
I can watch it with my eyes legally. Like we
always do. Like always. They can suck the money
out of my ass. Throw that in there. Always. Always.

heading into a pretty busy, pretty busy week.
Pretty busy weekend. We've got Keyshawn, Abdullah
Mason, Jayo Pataya, Frazier fucking, or Fabio
fucking Wardley, not Frazier Clark. Excuse me.
Mixed up my Brit, British. Brit slop. Shmevyweights.
Shmevyweights. And then we've got Junto Nakatani
unifying titles. Parting words. Probox good.
Yeah, I was about to say, I forgot Probox. I
forgot to mention them. Probox good. I also think
my parting words are, if Keyshawn wins, you gotta
get a unification. Unification. With Raymond.
Oh, that would be a good fight. If he wins. Yeah.
I think I favor Keyshawn in that one. Me too.
I favor Keyshawn with 135. The best one in my
opinion. Call and tell us why we're wrong. Why
I'm wrong. Yeah. Always like to hear from people.
Text is easier. But with calls, I don't know.
practice what you're going to say a little bit,
because if it comes out kind of choppy or sloppy,
it's hard to cut in. Yeah, if we have a bunch
of ums, er, er, er, er, ums, yeah. There's only
so much I can do on the back end, but. Oh, yeah.
So, yeah, if you just want to text, then that's
fine, too. Got to shout out Matt. Thank you for
getting, for fucking jumping in. All these fucking
people listening and nobody's. Nobody wants to
participate. It's unfortunate. Oh, yeah. All
right. If that's it, then that's it. That'll
do it for this edition of the Boxing B -Side.
So we will see you on the other side of this
Junto Nishida unification.
