This shit ain't nothing to me, man. to say something
like that so I know where to cut things off.
And then I can say, boxing before dark. Do you
wonder what happened before the cutoff? Man.
There's a really special place called Patreon
you should go to. LVX Media Net. It's the same
as everywhere else. Ooh, shit. Shanada, Lynn.
It's, uh, NHL playoff time. How's that going?
Ask Lynn what the series is at right now. I don't
want to discuss it. I'm facing Game 2 after we're
done here, as of the time of recording this.
It may not have been the best strategy after
the second period, with a one -goal lead to have
two shots in an entire period, and therefore
blow said lead and then lose in overtime. But
we move. Lose in double overtime? Triple overtime?
No, it was like 20 seconds to go in the first
overtime. How was it? Anyways, I just know McJesus
got the assist, so all is right in the world.
Yeah, like, four of our guys went to David, and,
like, nobody decided to just track Tricycle,
who was just wide open at the back, and it's
like, haha. And who's fucking good. It's alright,
game two. On to the next. Just water under the
bridge. Sure. CFL season. Yeah, Riders won the
home opener yesterday. But our running back already
upper body injury in the first five minutes of
play. Garbage. Oh, for anyone who doesn't know,
the CFL is the Canadian Football League. The
rules are different. And for our international
audience, I know there's quite a few of you,
they do worldwide tryouts now. So there's guys
from around the world on some of the teams. Yeah,
I know a lot of big boys come out of like the
Eastern Europe. There's like Frenchmen, there's
Germans, there's an Australian kicker. They had
a Japanese kicker, but he didn't last very long.
I think he legitimately had trouble kicking over
the linemen. He probably wasn't used to people
so tall. Not to be stereotypical, but... I mean,
it is what it is, right? Yeah, yeah, but... No,
I like the international tryouts. It's fun. So
in the CFL, you have to have a certain percentage
of Canadians, but the world guys will count towards
that percentage. They can't say it, but it's
basically a percentage of not Americans. Is that
really what it is? Yeah, well, the Americans...
um talent pools just way deeper for football
okay so they don't want people just having only
americans yeah a lot of national leagues are
like that like uh i follow for soccer i follow
the the city i was that i lived in when i was
lived in korea so i keep up with that team and
like they have international players but you
can only have a certain amount of not Koreans
playing at a time. Yeah. It's another strategy
thing. We've also got one more man on the field
and one less down. I would liken this difference,
to put it into combat sports terms, the difference
between Muay Thai and kickboxing. It's pretty
different. They're very similar, but they're
also very different. Yeah, the three downs makes
a big difference. Yeah, that's a lot. Field's
also bigger, too. It's wider and longer. We have
a 55 -yard line instead of a 50 -yard line. Oh,
shit. If you want to learn a little bit more
about Muay Thai and kickboxing. Check out UFC.
The ultimate fucking casuals. You gotta put me
on when a new Ryzen card's coming up. I want
to go to a Ryzen card. Yeah, I've been meaning
to keep up with Ryzen. Because someone on the
Discord told me there's one coming up in Sapporo,
but I'm not flying to Sapporo to go to a Ryzen
fight. The last one was in Korea, I think. That
sail travel method looks really cool. Yeah, but
it's a pretty long plane ride to get to the ferry
for me. I have to fly to Fukuoka. Oh, shit. Well,
I guess I could train, but even on the bullet
train, it's long. I was looking at taking a trip
to UK and I wanted to stop in Ireland at some
point. And I was like, well, I don't want to
fucking fly there. That sounds lame. So I was
looking at, there's a ferry from Liverpool to...
Nice. I love boats. Yeah. I'd much rather take
a ferry. Well, shall we get to it? Yes. Navarrete.
His fight is officially no contest. Noted Suarez
truthers. Rejoice. I'm a little surprised they
changed this one, to be honest. I am too. The
fight went for the required amount of time for
it to be taken to the cards and be scored. So
I don't know why they undid it. Doesn't make
sense to me. Well, I guess they decided it was
caused by a punch. The cut was caused by a punch
and it stopped the fight. So then that would
be all the TKO. I think the argument is that
at the time he was told it was from a headbutt
so he fought different than he would have. He
might have gone for the knockout. The doctor
might have also not stopped it yet because it
was a bad cut but it wasn't Tim Zhu bad. I don't
know how I feel about these changing things because
of video replay. I'm not really fussed with it.
If you can change that one, why the fuck didn't
Tate Davis end up with an L? Or at least a no
contest. Because he's a bigger name. Yeah, but
that's not good. It's one more way they can bring
corruption in, right? Well, this is boxing. I'm
just saying, I don't know if I fuck with changing
things after the fact. If you get it wrong, you
get it wrong. Everybody's lived with it until
now. Oh, that's an awful segue. Don't say that.
Mike McCallum. Who is this and passes away? You
don't know who Mike McCallum is? The body snatcher?
I might. I'm not sure. He's British, isn't he,
Lin? I don't know. I mean, I haven't heard of
him, so don't ask me. Really? Okay. Well, I know
who heard him. Mike McCallum was really good.
He was a really good fighter in the 90s, I want
to say. I didn't take any notes. I thought everybody
would know who Mike McCallum is. So he has five
losses but was never stopped. His nickname was
the Body Snatcher because he just... fucking
loved body shots and he was real good at them.
And he is in the Boxing Hall of Fame. He was
inducted in 2003. Yeah. I am confusing him with
someone else when I say he was hurt in his last
fight. I don't think he was. So he's only five
fights? No, no, five losses. Oh, okay. 49 wins,
five losses, one draw. Wow. Yeah, he held the
three weight classes. I should have looked this
up better. He had the super welterweight, middleweight,
and light heavyweight titles at different times.
And he fought at cruiserweight, but I don't think
he ever won a title. His last two fights were
losses to Roy Jones Jr. and James Toney. That's
quite the pair. But he was at the top. Yeah.
Yeah, no, you guys should go look up Mike McCallum.
He was real good. Like, not slicks. Slicks, kind
of the word. Like, how do you describe Roberto
Duran? Like, he was good and talented, but he
wasn't flashy, I guess. If you don't know what
you're looking at, they look like brawlers. Yes.
But they're not. Yeah, I know the type. That's
how I feel about Mike McCallum, too. People should
go look him up. He's good. Plus, the Body Snatcher
is a hell of a nickname. Dillian White was the
Body Snatcher? Yeah, he was. But Mike McCallum
was the original Body Snatcher. Anyways, he wasn't
that old. A little sad that he died youngish.
Apparently, he was originally from Jamaica and
lived in New York. I had the wrong guy. He's
not from the UK. Yes. Also, on the topic of the
UK, I was just having a quick look at his box
work to see if there's any names I mentioned.
And he beat Steve Collins and Michael Watson.
So there you go. Bit of the old Brit law. He
was just overshadowed by bigger names at the
time that were flashier. Like James Toney and
Roy Jones. And Roy Jones Jr. Yeah, he had a draw.
His draw was with James Toney. And then he lost
to him later. RIP to one of the Hall of Famers.
Yeah, one of the greats. It sounds like he was
a good guy, too. He went into training afterwards
and people liked him. That's always good. Easier
to mourn someone who was cool. Yeah, exactly.
Ah, well, that's speaking of mourning. Lomachenko
officially announces his retirement. I don't
know if anyone's mourning. It's about fucking
time. He's been holding that belt hostage forever.
Forever. So Ray Moritaya gets elevated? I like
these elevations. Make them fight for it. You
don't like email champs? No. Yeah, I prefer text
as well. Lomachenko. Man, now that the fever
around him has died down. I've been able to appreciate
him a lot more just because the fan base was
rabid and it was... The fan base was toxic as
fuck. It was difficult to deal with. But when
he was the Matrix, like that no Moschenko period.
That stretch of time. Fucking amazing. Yeah,
you can really see the way Bam says that's one
of his idols. And you can tell. I think a lot
of people idolize Lomachenko for good reason.
Yeah. I want to pull up his record because I
feel like he didn't do all that much for as much
as people liked him. He didn't really fight that
long in the pros. No. He only got 21 fights.
Yeah. I mean, I'm just looking over his resume.
If you actually look at who he's beaten, it's
not like anything special. It's not. There's
a lot of good names, though. Yeah, but they're
not like... I think there is. Pop names, are
they? Linares, Rigondeaux. Jose Ramirez in 2013
was a good win. Good -ish. Gary Russell Jr. in
2014, he was good. Nicholas Walters in 2016 was
a... excellent win. That absolute fucking ass
-kicking he put on Comey. I don't know if it's
that good a win, but that was a fucking beatdown.
I would put the one above. The one above it would
be Cambosos. Because Cambosos got embarrassed.
I mean, he always gets embarrassed, but there's
no point in him. I mean, he beat some pretty
good guys. Yes. So there's one loss for sure
that I don't think anybody can really claim.
The Salido loss? I was going to say Teofilo.
Oh, sorry. I thought you meant that it's controversial.
I was going the other way. The Salido loss was
not a real loss. That was fucking bullshit. I'm
not even a Lomachenko dick rider, but... Was
it because he came overweight? The Salido one?
Yeah. No, did you watch the fight? I did. Salido
was so dirty. Yeah. So dirty. Welcome to the
pros, bitch. That's what that was. I'm not some
fucking teenager from Estonia that you get to
whip up on. Yeah, that's true. Man, that's what
I don't... That is one thing I don't like. that
I didn't like about the fan base was all this,
like, oh, well, he had 5 ,000 amateur fights.
I'm like, dude, he was beating up teenage boys.
Yeah. That is not the flex that you think it
is. It's the opposite of a flex if you stay in
the amateurs too long. Yep. I don't know. I don't
think Loma is nearly as good as his fans think
he is. I don't know if he should be in the Hall
of Fame. to be honest. He's gonna get in. But
I don't know if he really deserves that. But
his talent was there. Like, nobody can deny that
no Moschenko was fucking amazing to watch. Yeah,
I think that he was limited by being signed to
top rank. That's what kept his resume pretty
light. As great as the wins were. Or, like, the
way he looked in those wins. I should say. But,
it is about time he officially left. Yep. Yep.
Bye, Lomachenko. See you later. Take your fucking
fans with you. Enjoy remaining retired. Yeah.
Do you think they're all just gonna jump over
to Usyk for his last couple fights? No. No? No.
I don't think so. Are they going to become Shakur
fans? Absolutely not. There's a particular aspect
of Lomachenko that's different from Shakur Stevenson.
That's why they wouldn't go from Lomachenko to
Stevenson. I know. Yeah. Who is the great white
hope right now for slick boxers? There isn't
really one, is there? That's what I was going
to look up. I can't think of any super slick
defensive white guys right now. Kayla Plant was
as good as it got. We'll get to that. Yeah, we
will. Yeah. Let's see here. Pound for pound.
If I say Josh Pappy, am I getting blocked on
the spot? Nah. It's clear why you would pick
that. There's not. There's not very many white
guys on the pound -for -pound list right now.
B -Ball would better be it. B -Ball. B -Ball's
pretty slick, I guess. Yeah. Also, for some reason,
I don't know if they count as white. Depends
on how badly you need a white person. I mean,
you can pretty clearly tell if you just look
at them. Yeah, but B -Ball's half Korean. Aren't
Koreans white? No. Anyways. They're Asian. Dangerous
territory. They're Asian. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Carry
on. Yeah, moving on. He shone blue weight. Yeah,
so this is one I wanted to bring up. As of right
now, as of when we're chatting, he has not fought
yet. So all we know is that he missed weight
by four fucking pounds. Like, dude, you just
won that title. That's a lot. Yeah. Did you not
ask for the Navarrete special on the scale? What
happened here? This is after what's been a pretty
eventful week for him where he was beefing with
Mason at the Purser and then I'm 30 certain also
there was like quotes coming out saying that
he wasn't going to fight Moatella and that he
basically said that he wasn't going to unify
with Moatella. And then like a day later he blows
weight. So it's like, okay, bye. What's going
on here then? Like, hang on, I can bring that
quote up. I'm fairly certain I'm not making this
up. I definitely saw it. To say he's not going
to fight Abdullah Mason, though, that's... No,
it was Murataya. Oh, Murataya. Yeah. That's right.
Yeah, he said he wasn't going to unify with him.
Why? I don't know. Why would you not do that?
Murataya is not that scary. No, he's not. He
just does things. He's just, like, really good.
At the fundamentals. Yeah, hang on. I brought
it up on Twitter. The quote was, why would I
want to go pay for another belt when I'm already
paying for this belt? And it's like, huh? That
makes sense. So in the past day or two, he's
basically said that he's not going to unify.
He went off at a young prospect and now he's
blown weight. So it's been an eventful week for
Sean Davis. What I mean by it makes sense is,
like, I understand his thinking. Who was it?
Mayweather notoriously hated paying sanctioning
fees. Canelo, for some reason, does it, but always
talks about not liking it. So I get the front,
like, why would I want to give up another share
of my purse for, like, something symbolic? Like,
dude, the symbols... Because it gets you... Bigger
purses. It gets you more money. Yeah. Yeah. Like,
that's like, why would I want to pay for school
to get a raise? Like, fuck off. Yeah. It's your
job. Yeah, continued education. Well, like, I
know a bunch of people went and got their masters
after they had jobs because it bumped their pay
a whole bunch. Makes sense. Yeah. Kishan's still
young, though. I guess maybe that's a... bad
example but like in any trade you have the same
thing go get accredited for a new skill yeah
right like welder certificates for whatever or
not just an academia thing yeah exactly get another
world title belt you get paid whatever 20 % more
you'll get into the position where you can negotiate
with the sanctioning bodies like if let's just
uh I'm moving house, so real estate's on my mind
at the moment. So the realtor, their fee is 3%.
So if that's what the sanctioning body takes
out of your purse, then how about you tell them...
Negotiate an extra 10. Yeah, I'm giving you 2
.5 % and you're going to deal with it. Or I want
paid 10 % more and you get 3 % of 10 % higher.
Yeah, same slice of a bigger pie. Yeah. whatever
the case is. Yeah. Interesting. And going after
Abdullah Mason, I... Yeah. Who do I get mad at
here? Whose side do I take? I don't really like
any of the Davises, to be honest. I might be
going with Abdullah on this one. I know, yeah,
I know there's a lot of Khashoggi fans over in
the Discord, so we'll see. But obviously that
belt is now vacant, so... kashawn wins it stays
bacon uh and the number one ranking with the
wvo because there's no like interim or whatever
champ is sam notes and number two is abdullah
mason so we're boxing before dark i mean i like
both guys so either way i'm happy but still uh
please don't make sam notes by abdullah mason
oh but that's such that's like mouth -watering
It's a good fight, but I know for a fact Nochi's
gonna get beat the fuck up. I don't want to see
this. When you put it like that. Yeah, I'm not
okay with this. We gotta keep rolling here. Fucking
recent shit. We skipped this one last time, so
here we are. Ohashi in Yokohama. Where is my...
Here it is. So I only picked up three of them.
I think Tsubasa, was that one that you wanted,
Shonato? Yeah, that was actually a really close
fight. Really? To get stopped in eight? Yeah,
but it was active the whole time and competitive,
but clearly I had it backwards in my head. I
got to look at their faces. Clearly Narai was
better, and he was slowly just breaking down
Hara. Yeah. But not in a sad beatdown way, in
a like, how the fuck is Hara showing this much
heart way? And they stopped it maybe a little
too late. But it was a rematch, and it was a
good fight. Or, I enjoyed watching it. I'm pretty
sure it was a rematch. Yeah. Stopped it late?
They probably could have stopped in the sixth.
Okay, because with Shigeoki on the mind. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. It was not terrible, but clearly
Narai was winning. It was a good competitive
fight, and I love a rematch. And they both had
great fucking walkout costumes. You think they're
in league with Mimis? No, different kind of great.
Mimi's person, I am 90 % sure is actually super
famous. Like, that's why they don't. But I don't
think they're a fashion designer. I think they're
a super famous cosplayer. Ah. Is my theory that
I have no basis for. The other two fights. Takai
was the main event, but that was just a round
one, like six punches thrown, knockout. Speaking
of not competitive, this fight was not. At all.
At all. No. I have a theory, though, and it might
be completely wrong, but I think they're saving
Takai for Nasukawa's first belt attempt. Yeah.
Because they're both kickboxers. What? So, Takei
fought last week, the week before, and Nasukawa
fights this week. I wonder if the next isn't
going to be the two of them, depending how Nasukawa
looks, my conspiracy theory. Put that on the
Inoue, MJ. It'd be big. Yeah. I don't know if
they want that one outside the country, though.
Where's... Takei Nasakawa in Japan. Yeah, that's
huge because it's Japanese kickboxing. Yeah.
But the co -main was a much better fight. It's
Nunez. Yeah. Versus Masanori Rikishi. Couldn't
remember the other guy's name. Nunez won, but
Rikishi... tried the whole damn time and it was
a good fight it was fun did you watch this one
Leo yeah I did um I was I don't remember the
Takei fight because like there's not a lot to
remember but this one I was I enjoyed all of
it uh I remember wondering if if Nunez has enough
to stop Rikishi I don't know. Yeah. Like, in
the mid -lates. I was like, could you be stepping
it up a little bit here? Or are you already doing
it? I think Rikishi's just tough. Yeah, you're
already doing all you can. And he's too good
to be taken out like that. Also, Rikishi looks
like a real -life Namor, so I always cheer for
him. A real -life what? It was a good fight,
though. Namor? Marvel's Aquaman. Ah. Have you
seen a picture of him? No. Okay, I gotta Google
you a picture of Nate Moore. I always forget
how to spell his name. Yeah. Anyways, it was
good. I would recommend watching it. Yeah, also
check out Takei. I guess. Just to see what's
coming up. in the bantamweights. You care about
the bantamweights. Everybody should care about
the bantamweights. Sorry to jump in here. So
Andreas Hale, who is a staff writer at ESPN,
while we're recording this pod, has just tweeted,
according to sources, the Khashoggi Davis vs.
Edwin De Los Santos fight scheduled for tomorrow
night is off after the two sides were unable
to come to an agreement following Davis' missing
weight. Abdullah Mason vs. Jeremiah Nakafila
is the new main event. Good. Four pounds is a
lot. That is a lot. I do not blame De Los Santos
for not wanting to give up four pounds. If that's
legit, that fight's off. But the dude works at
ESPN, so I would say that's pretty credible.
It's probably off. That kind of sucks. Mason
now main event, so at least we get something
out of it. Yeah. Man, I would have wanted Keyshawn
and Abdullah Mason to like each other because
I like them both. Anything more for the Ohashi
card? No, I don't think so. All right. May 30th,
Matchroom. This was on DAZN. Yes. Oh, shit. The
main event, just to get it done quickly. Khalil
Co beats Manuel Gallegos in five. Yes. It was
a corner stoppage. Yes. Did you watch the fight?
Did you watch the fight? I did. Yeah. That is
one of the worst broken noses with one punch
I have ever seen. That was disgusting. Coach
Jack just beat him the fuck up for a few rounds
and then Guy Eagles got pulled out by his corner.
That's all that happened. Good. They should have.
That's what they're there for. He had like no
answers after like halfway through the fight.
like yeah that was the that was the the sentiment
i had going into the fourth round i was like
what i had i tried to block the screen so i couldn't
see if it was a stoppage or not and then i ended
up seeing it anyway and i was like okay well
we're coming up on round four i didn't know when
it was round four like this can't go on much
longer can it because somebody somebody the ref
the fucking corner. Somebody's got to step in
and stop this. Like, the dude's face is being
rearranged. And that's... Don't need to see anymore.
So, yeah. Khalil Coe gets his revenge. They were
saying on the feed that apparently he had some
illness going into their first fight, so there's
your reason for why he got beaten up that night,
I guess. Yeah, they were saying Rabdo, I think,
right? I don't recall exactly what they said,
but I know for a fact, I'm pretty sure they mentioned
he was hospitalized by it or something like that,
if I recall correctly. So, yeah, we'll see. But
he, I mean, he won using just the jab. So, I
mean, at least he's got that going there. It's
like a piston, though. That, yeah, that, like,
I will say, he didn't have much else outside
the jab, but goddamn, his jab was good. Like,
he was literally, I mean, to be fair, it didn't
help that Gallegos was just walking straight
into it, but like... Anytime that jab popped
out, it was, like, fucking Gallegos up. Like,
it was, yeah, insane. Kind of like, you know
how, like, Batoviev's jab is kind of like that,
where, like, it's not even a power punch, but
it still hurts you? That's kind of like what
he was just doing to Gallegos. It was, like,
mental. So we'll see who he fights next. Morojan
Akbadaliev. TKO8 over Luis Castillo. Similar
situation. It's weird because I felt like a dominant
performance from MJ, but it wasn't spectacular.
I felt like if that MJ shows up against Inoue,
he's just going to get beat. Yeah. He didn't
impress me. I don't know. Maybe he was taking
it easy because he has something lined up. All
he's got to do is just muddle through the win
and you don't have to worry about. Your next
fight. Yeah, I guess. Honestly, there isn't much
to talk about in this fight. It wasn't fun or
exciting. MJ won. Yeah. Just quickly on MJ. I
still am not entirely sure why he's just been
given this Inoue opportunity. I know for a fact
there's no Inoue he can fight, but this dude
lost to Topales and he's fought no one since.
Like, huh? There's just nobody else left. Who
else at that weight class would you have in a
white fight? Yeah, that's why I mentioned that.
But, like, still, I don't know. I mean, you've
got, like, I mean, Picasso's there. He's a fighter.
Picasso's one -up, isn't he? I don't think he
has. On box, he lists him at Super Bantam, so
there you go. Picasso sucks, though. He's way
worse than MJ. I don't know. I've never seen
him box, but he's ranked number five on... I
would prefer MJ over Picasso. I'm gonna... I
mean, I know he stopped whoever earlier, so it
doesn't really matter, but still. Yeah, but,
like, Picasso's fought nobody. Same as Sam fucking
Goodman. Another guy who doesn't rate. Yeah.
Goodman is never getting another shot. No. Ever.
Nor should he. If you're gonna be fucking around.
Oh, I think MJ's loss to, to, to Paula's is,
uh, I think people make more out of it than,
than we should. I think the only reason people
do make such a big deal about it is because we're
talking about MJ in the context of fighting in
a way. So a loss is going to look a lot worse
than it really is. People have bad nights. Happens
all the time. I'm coping right now. Hoping that
the MJ fight's good. Those scores in the MJ -Topalis
fight are all over the fucking place. Yeah, it
doesn't make sense. 118 -110 when the other two
have it 113 -115 the other way? That's crazy.
Makes perfect sense. Totally. Yep. Anyway. Enough
of that. Back the bully. Yeah. Goldenboy, also
on the zone. Also on May 30th. The co -main,
Eric Priest. He looked good. We were talking
about this. I think it was on B -Sides. We were
talking about Luis Arias being a solid test.
This is a good step up for Eric. And he answered
the call perfectly. It's a really dominant decision.
Yeah, he looked good. I don't know if I've seen
Eric Priest before. You have on Undercards before,
but just not very memorable. He's not flashy.
Bektimir Melikuziev beats Darius Fulgham. The
best part of... Why is Beck so stupid? He did...
Not have his cup of Folgers in the morning. I
don't know. Dude forgot his brain. He just makes
such stupid fucking decisions. I want to like
Beck. I really do. But he starts winning and
then he starts just being stupid and making it
a close fight. Like, every fucking time. And
he started losing the middle rounds and start
showboating. And I'm like, what the fuck are
you doing? He also definitely still has PTSD
from the Gabe Rosado knockout. Because every
time the guy was near the ropes, he'd attack.
But if he got in a corner, Beck would back off.
And it made me laugh every single time. Beck
does not throw punches in corners anymore. Understandable.
I will never forget that knockout. I was watching
alone in my basement and I jumped off my couch
and fucking screamed at the TV when it happened.
But yeah, Beck could be so good if he wasn't
so stupid. My summary of this fight. That's why
he'll never be great. Because he won't stop being
stupid. Which is also why I like watching him,
because I know something interesting will happen.
Funny part is, he still won this by unanimous
decision and dropped Fulgham in round 12. Yeah,
but the only reason he won is because he dropped
Fulgham. Eh, a win's a win. Pretty sure on every
scorecard it would have been a draw otherwise.
114, 113. No, it would have been... Well, it
was... Oh, yeah, it would have been. Oh, right,
because Beck got point deduction for being stupid.
Yeah, that was just weird. I didn't really watch
this fight, but I recall I watched like a round
or two at one point. It was fun at the time.
Like, being in the chat at the same time sometimes
makes these sillier fights a lot more entertaining.
Yeah. Talking about Bektamir being a fucking
train rectamir is... Yeah. It's better than just
yelling at my television. It does make it more
fun to chat with people while you're watching.
Because if I'd have watched it by myself, I probably
just would have gotten angry at Beck. Yeah. For
being stupid. I wouldn't have enjoyed it. I'd
have just been yelling at my TV in a not fun
way. Like, what the fuck are you doing? You goddamn
idiot. Yep. But I don't know who's at that weight
class. That's too big for me. Who should Beck
fight next? Who should he fight next? Yeah. 168.
What's that? Middleweight? Super middle. Yeah.
He is 20th on BoxRec. So take that for whatever
you want. William Skull. Oh, no. I say that unironically.
They deserve each other. Really? Yeah. I mean,
it would probably be Skull's toughest test. It
would be. And stylistically, it would be a hard
test for Bechtamir as well. So this is a pretty
decent win -win. You know, honestly, what would
be kind of fun would be Beck versus Plant. I
think it'd be fun. I think Plant could take that.
Yeah, but do you think Beck's going to want to
wait out until halfway through next year when
Plant decides he's going to come back? No, but
I think if Beck catches Plant, Plant's chin's
going to go and Beck will win. And Plant's legs
aren't as good as they used to be. No. This is
a good transition point. Yes. The PBC on Prime
card on the 31st. Some quick ones. Kermel Moten
versus Rennie Mastropa. Guess the job done. Wasn't
his most spectacular performance, but this is
what you want from these young guys. Stay active.
Get the work done. Get some rounds in. Yoenly
Hernandez beats the shit out of Kyron Davis.
Fucking one -sided. It was a sweep on all three
cards. Not a whole lot more to say. I don't think,
anyway, unless you have something for Yoenly.
No. Was that an upset? No. Not an upset. Never
mind. Wrong, Davis. Why do they all have K names?
I hate that. Yeah, there's like six of them and
only three of them are related. Really? I thought
they were all related. Jermall Charlo stops Tommy
LaManna in six. Charlo looked pretty good for
his second long layoff return. I thought he looked
all right. Still a little rusty. I thought he
looked like shit. to be honest. It wasn't vintage
Charlo, but he looked better than he did against
Benavidez, which is saying something. I don't
remember that. Yeah, the Benavidez performance
was pretty crappy. I think the Charlos are both
washed at this point. Probably. What's the other
one even doing these days after he lost to Hanoi?
He's talking about... He's starting to talk about
his own comeback. Trying to stale... Go ahead.
They did a lot of soul -searching, I think, during
this time off. They patched up their brotherly
relationship. Tried very hard to stay out of
jail. Succeeded, apparently. I don't know how.
Couple other things that I've heard they've done.
They probably should have been in jail for a
little while. As far as I'm aware, Jermall Charlo,
the one that just fought, he's had substance
abuse problems, specifically with alcohol. But
that's about it. Some mental health issues, clearly.
So between those two things, the other Charlo
Germel, the one that fought Canelo, that's the
one that was abusing waitstaff. Fucking abusing
his wife, I believe. Okay. I didn't realize it
was only one of them. Their names are too close.
I get them confused. They're almost exactly the
same. Just a single letter difference. Uh, alright.
Okay, I take it back about this one. Yeah. But
the other one probably should have been in jail.
This one does sad boy shit. The other one does
mad boy shit. Yeah. Fair. Now, moving up to Bechtamir's
next opponent, Caleb Plant. Uh, how he recovers
from this, I don't know. Uh, Resendiz got bopped
by Elijah Garcia, who is nobody to write home
about. And he looked good, though. Like, he just
had answers for everything Plant was trying to
do. Pretty much from the fourth or fifth round,
it was a completely one -sided fight. How it
ended up a fucking split decision, I'll never
know. Fucking David Sutherland. Ridiculous. Yeah,
I just had a look at Sutherland's scorecard.
So, after the first four rounds... He gave Plant
round 7, and then rounds 10, 11, and 12. What
the fuck? Plant lost all three of those last
rounds. Absolutely. 100%. What the fuck is that?
He started doing the math and realized the guy
he was paid to let win was losing. Yes. The other
two judges, Steve Weisfield, gave Plant the first
four, and then the rest of the fight to Ashendiz.
And Max DeLuca gave Ford the first five to Plant.
The only round he gave to Ashendiz was round
three, and then the rest of the fight was a clear
shout -out for Ashendiz. So at least two of the
judges were competent. Yeah, that makes sense.
Like, Sutherland can be. It's just, like, you
can tell when they're turning in their bot cards,
like the pre -filled ones. Yep. David Sutherland's
bad for that, though. Yeah. Cheatham's not that
much better. Was he on this panel? He was on
a different card. Cheatham was on the Beck card,
wasn't he? I think so. I might be wrong. Let
me check who those were. Yeah. Wait. That can't
be right. Were those two fights on the same night?
Yeah. Oh, no. The back to here was the night
before, wasn't it? Okay. Because they got Steve
Weisfield, David Sutherland, and Tim Cheatham
on the Beck fight. Both were in Vegas. Oh, maybe
he just walked down the street. But yeah, Cheatham
was on the Beck fight. What's next for Resendiz?
Does he stay at 168? Because, I don't know, did
he look undersized compared to Plant? Plant's
really big, though. Okay. Being undersized compared
to Plant, I don't know that means he can go down.
Does it? I would say he's like Canelo -sized.
Maybe he's a little bit more beefy, but he's
not very tall for the weight. Yeah. I don't know
who Resendez should fight next. Well, Resendez
is the WBA Interim Super Middleweight Champion,
so somebody will want to fight him for that.
I remember we talked about this. I could have
sworn it was for the regular title. Boltruck
is saying it's the interim, so unless Boltruck
thinks about it. Chances are it's more correct
than my brain. Yeah, apparently Plant picked
it up when he beat McCombie, so. Man, I could
have sworn they said regular on the broadcast.
Boltruck is saying WBA Interim World Super Middleweight
Champion. Excellent. I'm going with what Boltruck
says. Thanks, Boltruck. The gifts are off the
shot. Yo, actually Resendi's Saras. That's actually
pretty good. I don't know who'd watch it, but...
I mean, I'd have more interest in it if I did
for Resendi the plan, I'll say that much. I mean,
because Saras is... A fire. Well, still undefeated,
isn't he? Saras lost to... Yeah. Munguia. Who
was on PEDS. Oh, shit! Yeah, that fight hasn't
been overturned. Oh, we won't overturn this one,
but we're gonna overturn fuckin' Nav. Yeah, I
don't know. Well, they... I assume they're waiting
for the B test to pop as well. Right? Yeah, they'll
be going for that one. But, I mean, once they
overturn that, Saras is still undefeated. Well,
assuming they do. This is boxing. They did an
overturn. Connor Ben and that whole thing just
proves that there's no consistency in how any
of this works. Exogenous testosterone metabolites
is pretty hard to defend. That's not tainted
meat. Well, we'll see. Doesn't sound like tainted
meat to me. Even if it is still officially a
loss, I think Saras deserves his shot at some
sort of title. He earned it. He can fight the
winner of Simpson v. Zufo for the European. That's
probably more his level. Nobody's going to want
to fight Resendiz anyways. I mean, yeah, he's
Mexican, so... Low risk, or high risk, low reward.
Yeah. Resendiz... Well, I wouldn't say low reward.
He is the... I never... I never want to see Skull
fight again. Ever. I'm trying to put him in with
people that'll beat him up so that he won't fight
again. Alright, perfect. Iglesias versus Skull.
Let's get it on. Battle of Cuba. Iglesias is
the new school Cuban. Yep. He could probably
catch Skull, though. I think he would. He would
destroy Skull. It wouldn't even be close. That
could be fun. I stand by my conspiracy that Skull
was given the script. Canelo Bud is already set.
So, you know, do whatever it takes. Do whatever
you want to just fucking... But you're not winning.
So you better make sure of that. I stand by that
if... Skull was the A -side. He'd have won. Even
for that nasty -ass performance? Breaking down
was a champion for years. Also a human. That
was the old style. Anything more for the PBC
card? No. I do think, as much as I was talking
otherwise, Plant's going to fight Charlo. I don't
think it matters that he lost. I think so, too.
I absolutely agree. Charlo didn't look very good.
Plant didn't look very good. Let him go fight.
People will watch it. Alright, so before we take
a quick break, I'm going to have to work in a
second one because we're at an hour right now.
I did talk for a little bit before. It's supposed

i got one for my nephew it's a little stuffy
that's reversible it's a blue bee that's sad
or it's a yellow bee that's happy nice it's good
stuff speaking of good stuff this is not it Lucas
Brown versus David Padman. I don't know who either
of these guys are. We do not have a lot going
on this week. We're getting to the bottom of
the barrel here. Yes. There's not even any random
UK card I can bring up. That says a lot. That
we're talking about Lucas Brown and there's no
Brit slob to throw in. Yep. These two both look
like they are fighting from prison. Like, if
you look at their box racks, these look like
scary dudes. I wouldn't put it beyond at this
point. I think Lucas Brown was a bouncer. I'm
not sure on that. But that does sound about right.
Yeah, main thing to point out here, Lucas Brown,
31 -6. David Padovan, 3 -0. I'm sorry? What?
What? What? the fuck am I looking at? Uh -huh.
Also, this man looks like he's 40. And he's how
old? It doesn't say on BoxRec. Padavan or Brown?
Padavan. And I can have a look. It doesn't really
matter. I just mean he is not a new young prospect.
At 3 -0. Hot commodity coming out of... From
Australia. Oh, shit. Moving on. Amir Khan Promotions.
On his own. I didn't know that was a thing. Yep,
I didn't either. I didn't know he even promoted.
Yeah. The headline is Andrew Tabidi vs. Jacob
Dixon. I believe this is happening in Ghana.
Yeah, I have to say that. June 13th. Same day
as Lucas Brown. That could be cool. I like watching
the international ones more just to see what
the atmosphere and the crowd is like. Yeah. To
be honest. Tabidi's okay. I believe this is good.
This should be a cruiserweight fight. That's
where Tabidi's fought most of his career. But
it might be heavy just because he's been out
for a bit. And I'm not sure who Jacob Dixon is.
But 14 -1. Yeah, I had a quick look just now.
The only fight he had outside of Ghana, he went
to France and got stopped in the first round
by Albert Ramirez, who is now a light heavyweight
with Iota Tiger. So that doesn't bode well for
his chances in this fight. Yeah, so we know what
this is for Tabidi. This is a little get back
for him. How many rounds do we reckon? Overall,
under one. Uh, I'm gonna set it at three and
a hey. That's the over -under for me. Alright.
Uh, who else is on this card? Oh, Howard Davies
is here. Is he really? Yes. I thought he was
fired after he got absolutely destroyed by Adam
Fassine, but apparently he's still fighting.
He's with Amir Khan now. I mean, he'll probably
get cashed out in the UK. He still has a name
somehow. He's basically like... He's like the
140 equivalent of what Aldi Harrison used to
be. He just loses every fight, but he somehow
has a name, so he keeps getting fights. Ah. I
know the type. Yeah. Yes. Like a British Camposus,
when you think about it. Brandon Glatton is also
apparently on this card. Only two months after
he fought Bill and Smith. So it seems like the
Brit slop was taken to Ghana. I mean, it's a
horror day, but he's just about as Brit slop
as you get. Though apparently this fight is listed
at well -awaited, so I guess he's going up to
147 now. That's about what we're going to get
out of that card. That's Amir Khan on the zone.
There ain't shit else going on on the 13th, so
if you need boxing in your life, you just have
to have something. I bet you the clothes. The
clothes in Ghana are going to be great. Oh, I
bet they'll be super colorful. That'll be fun.
Moving on to the 14th. This is Anne for Promotions.
This one's happening in Hermosillo in Mexico.
The co -main event, which I pick up because RJ
tagged Camila, Anae, Zamorano, and Sinas. So
we're going with Camila and Sinas. RJ Tech. Versus
Mika Iwakawa. It's for a secondary title at 105,
I believe. Which is... I think it's less than
105. Yeah. I think it's 100. Wow. That's fucking
small. It's so tiny. I just... I used to do karate
with a girl who wrestled at 100 pounds or less.
And I was like, she was so good, but I could
beat her every time because you just grab her
and throw her across the fucking room. She weighs
100 pounds. I just looked it and seen it as his
box weight paid. So she's 11 and 0. Okay, nothing
too suspicious. But she's 17. Yeah. She's Mexican.
Apparently she started boxing at 15, which is
crazy. She had been boxing long before that.
They're allowed to turn pro at 15. She's fighting
a 41 -year -old. Yeah, we got a 17 versus a 41
-year -old. I don't know why this is a fight.
Because Mexico. It's the WBC International. Adam
weight. 100 pounds. Anyone know who the WBC world
Adam weight champion for females is? I don't
watch the women. Especially not that small. This
is a lot more time than I really thought we were
going to be spending on these two. Okay. Moving
on. Yeah. Juan Francisco Estrada versus Karim
Arce Lugo. This is a decent fight. It's at 118.
Estrada's moving up. Is it a decent fight? I
think if this is Karim Arce, not who I thought
it was. So, no. I don't think so. I mean, Estrada
should knock this guy out quick. It's at 118,
though. And Estrada was already kind of undersized
at 115. Fair, but also, it's Estrada versus someone.
I had a quick look at Lugo. The only name I recognize
is someone that Shunata should know. He got stopped
in the ninth round by David Contreras. Yeah,
Contreras is actually good, though. Or was, for
a little while. Yeah. He only has the one loss
to Nakatani. Let's not act like... that's a big
shame. I wasn't saying he was bad. I was just
saying that Shanoa would know him because he
lost to Nakatani. Yes. I think most people know
him, don't they? I'm bored if you'd be surprised.
I forget how people don't watch my weight classes.
Anyways, I suspect Estrada will knock this guy
out. That's probably the point. To get him on
the 118 radar. Estrada needs to retire, though.
Tenshin Asukawa needs opponents. Ugh. Moving
on. Also on the 14th, Samson. This is... I can't
find an American broadcaster for this, but it's
on TYC Sports, Argentina. Nonito Doner versus
Andres Campos. Also at 118. I really like Donair,
but he's way past it. That being said, he should
knock out some no -name Argentinian, right? You
would think. Probably. He's no Argentinian. He's
not. Where is he from? Chile. He's from Chile.
He fought... Who did he... Sonny Edwards. That's
where I remember him. I mean, Donair should still
win. Donair should win. Yeah. It should not be
too difficult. Yeah, I don't. Yeah. Though, the
only thing worth knowing is this is going to
be Donair's first fight in almost two years.
So, could be something else. We'll see. Lame.
Stay retired, dude. Donair's good on comms. I
don't know why he doesn't just stick to comms.
Some people just can't quit boxing. It happens.
Well, it's his wife. Donair is the most pussy
-whipped person on the planet. Good lord. It's
rough. But it's so bad. It's so bad. It's so
bad. Fucked up, like, the tail end of his career
because of it. Yeah. Like, I'm all for men loving
their wives more than they maybe should. Toner
needs to get his balls back and just retire.
Speaking of getting the balls back, Matchroom...
On June 14th, George Cambosos is going to be
fighting Richardson Hitchens. Some stuff. The
only one that I picked up that I was really...
I picked anything up that had a secondary title.
Ernesto Mercado vs. Jonathan Montrell at Superlight.
Alexis Barillet vs. Ronnie Hines at Heavyweight.
There's a Canadian. Yes, I actually watched Barillet's
last fight. I don't recall. Yeah, that was the
Rocky Hernandez, the Gibraltar on the card. He
was fighting some fat Mexican. He looked... Well,
he had a performance. I don't recall much. I
just recall he got tagged pretty badly at one
point, but he very clearly won that fight and
was pulled out after six rounds. No idea who
his opponent is, but this is going to be his
first... No, sorry, his second fight outside
of Canada. His second fight was in the US in
a sports center. But this is probably going to
be the toughest test of his career. We'll see
how he looks. 14 -0. Can't be that terrible,
right? I've got a draw on the record to a 9 -4
opponent, so, I mean... Oh, wait, no, you're
talking about... Yeah, well... Can't be that
terrible. Right. I mean, he's an American heavyweight.
I wouldn't have high hopes. No, 6 '6", Southpaw.
You never know. He's not even an American heavyweight.
He's a French -Canadian. Barrier or Hines? Barrier.
Hines is an American. Oh, Barrier. Yeah, Barrier
is Canadian. He's also a Southpaw. So two Southpaw
heavyweights here. So Southpaw lovers. Can't
be that bad, right? It could be pretty bad. It
can be okay. Please, Heinz, do something. I need
any sliver of hope. It's probably going to be
better than Clinton's versus Kambosa. Or Cruz
v. Mishiro. Andy Cruz isn't bad to watch. I don't
mind Andy Cruz. I am like the number one Andy
Cruz hater in the Discord, so I will be watching
this fight, playing that Mishiro knocks him out.
17. How many knockouts out of 17 fights? Six.
Six. Not many. But, but, but, he is on a two
-fight knockout streak. Two -fight knockout streak.
Yep. About to become three. I hope so. He's only
ever really fought in Kuroku and Hall. I don't
know who Mishiro is. Yeah, I've never heard of
him. He's fought outside of Japan a couple times.
He fought in... Australia. Newcastle. That's
Australia. And Incheon in Korea. And also Makai.
And Korakuen Hall. Ooh, you went to the Philippines.
Yeah, Makai. Fancy. Otashi, the Ota Gym. Yeah,
but that's, like, worse than Korakuen Hall. Is
it really? No, but kind of. It's bigger. Andy
Cruz should... Are we taking this one at, what,
seven? Seven and a half? I have no idea. I don't
think Cruz stops him. I don't know. I mean, Andy
Cruz isn't really someone who fights for the
finish. He only has two knockouts in his five
fights so far. And he's Cuban. So, like, we'll
see. I would be, I will, I mean, if you're betting
on this fight, I would bet Cruz be a decision.
That's probably a safe bet. The Japanese tend
to be hard to knock out. Yes. Well, sure, we'll
go with that. I don't know. Cruz just doesn't.
He's not like a massive puncher. He doesn't really
go for the finishes. He's kind of... He's got
that Cuban style, like the fundamentals and like
that, but he doesn't fight to really stop people.
So... Let's see. And in the main event, Richardson
Hitchens versus a former Maxie Hughes victim.
Oh, when you put it like that. Maxi Hughes should
be fighting for the world title. I mean, it's
just players that, you know. That's just, that's
just factual. Factual information, yes. How does
Kambosis keep getting these belt shots? He has
a name and he signed with Maxi. That's like the
only reason. Look, he beat Jake Wiley. How many
other top 140ers have beat Jake Wiley, okay?
None, because he's never fought any of them.
Ah, but that therefore means that he is the only
one to have beaten him. Therefore. I don't know.
I mean, this is... I already know how this fight's
gonna go. Like, if you saw either Haney 1 or
Haney 2, you know how this fight's going. It's
going to be a wide, unanimous decision for Hitchens.
Everyone's going to get a great night of sleeping.
Kambosis will then go off and have a comeback
fight where he'll win, look awful, and then somehow
get another world title shot. I don't... These
are facts. You are speaking things into existence
that I don't want to happen. You already know.
No, I know what's going to happen. I know. I
know you're absolutely right. Yeah, he'll lose,
and then later this year, he'll make, like, a
comeback fight. And given he's with Matt Froome,
and he already did the Brits step -down fight,
he'll probably fight Padley. Look awful. What
a wobbly decision. I was just about to say that.
And next year, we'll see him beat the Hitchens,
too, for some reason. He's gonna fight Josh Padley.
Honestly, Padley would, like... Like, he wouldn't
stop Kambosos, but fuck me, he would outbox him
easily. Padley beats Kambosos, because Kambosos
is a glorified domestic -level fighter. Yeah,
he would not. I mean, he's a, well, okay, he
wouldn't fight Padley. He's a 140 now. But, like,
still. Who actually do we have at home? I know
we have, like, Dalton Smith, but that would be
very risky for Campos as a comeback. Sam Noakes.
He's with Queensbury, and he's also probably
about to fight for the vacant WRO title. So,
yeah. We'll see. So, if Hitchens goes to 20 -0,
because there's no real point in discussing the
fight, because we already know for a fact there's
like a 1 % chance Camposus wins. Who does he
fight next at 140? Because he obviously had the
controversial one against Lemos, then beat Liam
Powell, now he's going to be another Aussie bomb
in Camposus. Like, who does he fight at 140 next?
Who's Adam Azeem with? Uh, Boxer. And he's got
a fight. as of the time of recording this, tomorrow.
Yeah, he's fighting on the Simpson undercard,
which is, well, for me today is the time of recording
this. But that was some, that's some state -based
fight. I'm not sure what he's doing next. Assuming
he wins. Yeah. Yes. Which he should. And Richardson
Hitchens wins. That lines up if you wanted to
do American versus British. I would want to see
a scene get, like, a step -up fight, because
his only real test today was a shot to pieces
liberty. I mean, this is because he signed with
Boxer, and they typically have their dudes fight
out of nobodies, but, like, yeah, he... I want
to see him have that, like, step -up fight before
he goes and fights a Hitchens or whatever. Steve
Claggett. Don't you dare. Don't you even try
and manifest Hitchens v. Claggett. That would
not be fun. No. Hang on, let me have a look at
the IDF 140. Excuse me. Because I don't actually...
Well, because funny enough, I don't memorize
this stuff. Because, like, it's not usually that
important. But I can have a quick... Okay, 140,
which is... 140 is pretty empty. Uh, what is
it? Yeah, Junior World, wait. So Hitchens is
the champion. Number one is Matthias. Number
two, there isn't one. And then number three is
Camposus, and number four is Paro. So Hitchens
v. Matias? Maybe? Oh, that's right. He's in the
number one slot. Yes. That's a mandatory. It's
going to get enforced. Hitchens will have to
fight Matias. Hmm. Subreal Matias has Pueyo booked
for July 12th. Which is, I'm not part of this
fight, so the dates would work out well. Yeah,
assuming he wins. Which isn't a guarantee. It's
not. Not against Pueyo. Yeah. I mean, Matias,
we've seen, can have issues with a boxer like
he saw in the Paolo fight, so we'll see. Outside
of those dudes, because obviously he's not going
to rematch Hitchens, uh, Paolo, he's not going
to rematch Cambrosis. Number five is Lindolfo
Delgado. And then 6 is a guy called Carleton
Aguber, who I've never heard of, but apparently
he's Russian. And then you get to, like, Dolan
Smith and Gabby of Venezuela 8. So, we'll see.
You could do a Mexican in Vegas. See? Yeah. Yes.
I think Delgado's fighting on this part. Or at
least I know something like that. He's fighting
soon. I just, I didn't. Yeah, it might be on
this card. No, that's my card. That's what I'm
thinking of. Different person. Same card anyway.
Let me have a look. Yeah, he fought back in April.
We'll see. But yeah, if Matthias wins, I would
imagine they may get a mandatory. That's probably
the most realistic outcome here. And it could
be a unification. Could end up that way. Oh yeah,
yeah, I just checked. I mean, TSP Puyo is a wild
title fight, I forgot. So yeah, that would be
a unification type thing. So we'll see. We'll
see what happens. When are they going to give
my boy Sandor his title shot? His redemption?
When did he even last fight? Let me even look.
I don't know. Recently. Against Puyo, yeah. Against
Puyo, and he... Oh, yeah. Wait, what card was
that? It was pretty grimy, but he almost won.
Yeah, I didn't watch that play because I'm pretty
sure I skipped most of that undercard, but yeah.
Honestly, Martin isn't that good to watch, but
I enjoy it. We'll see what he does. Is he in
the IBF rankings? He is not. No, he's in the
other two. Yes, so he wouldn't face Hitchens.
I would say Hitchens v. Martins would be... That
has to be fair, probably quite a boring fight.
If that ever happened in the future. Yeah. So
I lost it. Yeah, Ernesto Mercado is also on this
card, because he didn't mention him, I don't
think. Briefly. He's actually fighting for an
IVF belt, the IVF North American Super Lightweight
belt. Which Hitchens actually previously held,
so there you go. He's fighting a guy called Jonathan
Montrell. I've never heard of him, but he lost
an eight -round unanimous decision, 8 -0 to Delante
Johnson, who isn't that good. So, yeah, we'll
see. I'm not... I wasn't expecting much out of
Montrell. Yeah. Um, I watched... The only time
I've really seen Ricciardo was his last fight
against a shorter piece of Pitrazzo, but he looked
pretty solid in that fight. Only 23, so probably
got more to come. He's probably the one they're
pushing anyway. I mean, this is for an IBF North
American belt, so he could get pushed up into
the IBF rankings with this. I don't think...
He's number one in the IBF International. Because
they rank them separately. IBF does. And he's
number one in that and Montreal's not ranked.
Well, he should win. It would be a massive upset
if he was to lose this fight. Yeah. So, yeah.
But he's got to get it done. So, we'll see what
happens. You never know in boxing. I mean, I
thought Plant and Charlo were going to win. boring
fights, and here we are. So... Anything more
for Mattroom on DAZN? I don't think so. A couple
of prospects, but nothing I really recognize.
Yeah, it's always more... Situations like this,
Undercard is a little bit more where you want
to pay more attention, just because the next
big thing could be there. Yep. All right, let

into one of the weekends of the year. Yeah. There's
not much going on. I forgot to get parting words
ready. Oh, instead of parting words, so this
is recorded Saturday. Nakatani fights Sunday.
It's tomorrow. I think I bought floor seats again.
I'm pretty sure I fucked up. Which sucks. But.
They're only $300. How am I supposed to know
where your seating be? Like, tickets are so cheap
here. That for floor seats is pretty cheap. That's
what I paid for floor seats at the Nishida Card
in Osaka. But I thought it would be raised seating.
In Tokyo. But I hadn't realized. That it's not
at Ariaka Arena. It's at Ariaka Coliseum. Which
is smaller. So now I think I have floor seats.
Maybe I don't. Maybe I'll be fine. And I'll be
where I can actually see. I also hate the floor
seats. Because you have to walk by security.
Every time you go by beer. And they look at you
like you're a terrible person. Like. Nobody in
Japan drinks more than two beers at the fights,
I swear. Yeah, give me all of the beers, please.
Yeah, that's not... I recall the only time I
went to a boxing event in the UK. I must have
seen... I don't even know how many people get
dragged out who were definitely intoxicated in
some degree. Yeah, that's not going to happen
in Japan, but... Anyways. The fights will still
be good. I'll still be able to see. I'm ten rows
back wherever I am, so if I'm in the second set
of floor seating, that's not bad. And people
here are short, so I should be able to see. Lynn,
anything for your Florida Panthers? Well, as
of the time of recording this, it is game two
occurring. It is currently tied at one, about
halfway to the first. We went up one -nothing
and then conceded. So, hopefully, we don't go
down 2 -0 in a series. Or else, I'm not going
to be particularly happy. Alright, well, if there's
nothing else, then... Yeah. The sun is going
down. What did the Mars rover say? Goddammit,
how did I forget already? My batteries are low.
The sun is going down. No, it's worse. My batteries
are getting low and it is getting dark. Excellent.
And I'm pretty sure that was like the last thing
I ever said. It is. Yeah. That's exactly the
last thing. It's last words. That's what I got
for parting words. Because that's the end of
Boxing Before Dark. The sun is going down, bitch.
Hope you're not allergic to vampires. It is getting
dark. Alright, we are out of here. Bye.
