You got a B -Side. 00:00:06.900 --> 00:00:10.400 The B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. The B 00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.759 -Side thing. This is the B -Sides Boxing Podcast. 00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:25.539 Well, shall we do the thing? Yes. Fucking, alright. 00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.170 Boxing B -Sides. We are back, bitches, up in 00:00:30.170 --> 00:00:33.869 your ears. Oh, the panel's different. I still 00:00:33.869 --> 00:00:35.729 have the one and only Alex, but you're getting 00:00:35.729 --> 00:00:39.649 a double dose of Shanada this week. Yeah, you 00:00:39.649 --> 00:00:44.530 poor bastards. We don't have to hear little old 00:00:44.530 --> 00:00:46.130 Joshua talk about pay -per -view prices for an 00:00:46.130 --> 00:00:52.890 hour again. Which one is Joshua? Was his bad 00:00:52.890 --> 00:00:56.049 take the Don King's good? No, that was Alex. 00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:04.980 That was on purpose. Fun little bit. No, Josh's 00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:09.859 bad take was to pay the monsters UFC wages. Right, 00:01:09.859 --> 00:01:13.680 right. Lower the wages so that they fight more. 00:01:16.180 --> 00:01:19.920 I saw he has an article about that. Needed some 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:24.700 editing, but it should come out soon. Yeah. You 00:01:24.700 --> 00:01:27.219 know what's not coming soon? Lomachenko's next 00:01:27.219 --> 00:01:31.579 fight. Motherfucker is officially, officially 00:01:31.579 --> 00:01:35.900 retired. He had a good run. He had a fun run. 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.019 Lomachenko, he did. He had less fights than I 00:01:39.019 --> 00:01:42.560 thought he did. Yeah, it's like 18 -3 or something. 00:01:43.260 --> 00:01:46.760 Yeah. Loma couldn't even get 20 wins? What the 00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:50.459 hell? He did get 20 fights, though. There's that. 00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:56.040 There is that. And two of those, his hardest 00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:00.400 core of fans, we'll say, are not losses. Haney 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.000 and Salido. Salido, legitimately, you can argue. 00:02:05.859 --> 00:02:08.560 I don't want to argue with you guys yet, but 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.180 I mean, the Haney loss was not a loss. I think 00:02:12.180 --> 00:02:16.520 that was a robbery, and I might have stopped 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:19.060 now, actually. I'm going to save this anger for 00:02:19.060 --> 00:02:23.050 later. I'm still of the mind that he's not going 00:02:23.050 --> 00:02:27.669 to be remembered by boxing history for very long. 00:02:28.590 --> 00:02:31.069 No, you're right. He didn't accomplish a whole 00:02:31.069 --> 00:02:34.969 lot. Like, his resume is pretty light. Whatever 00:02:34.969 --> 00:02:38.969 you might think about the losses, all of his 00:02:38.969 --> 00:02:43.349 big fights are losses. And other than that, he's 00:02:43.349 --> 00:02:46.229 got, what, Rocky Martini? Well, no, Gary Russell 00:02:46.229 --> 00:02:50.449 Jr., that was a good one. It's aged like milk, 00:02:50.530 --> 00:02:54.849 but Nicholas Walters, that was a good win. I 00:02:54.849 --> 00:02:57.210 do disagree with you on how he didn't have a 00:02:57.210 --> 00:02:59.669 lot of good accomplishments. He does have accomplishments. 00:02:59.689 --> 00:03:03.849 He has won a good amount of the titles. Nobody's 00:03:03.849 --> 00:03:05.569 going to remember the fighters that he won against, 00:03:05.789 --> 00:03:12.550 unfortunately. I do think Lomachenko is going 00:03:12.550 --> 00:03:15.150 to be remembered more for his techniques and 00:03:15.150 --> 00:03:18.389 the effect he's had on training. than on any 00:03:18.389 --> 00:03:22.849 particular win. More so a skill than his actual 00:03:22.849 --> 00:03:32.189 career. Yes. I thought Rigondel, I thought he 00:03:32.189 --> 00:03:35.569 was a wizard. And then I saw Lomachenko just 00:03:35.569 --> 00:03:38.289 make him look like a fucking fool. I was like, 00:03:38.370 --> 00:03:42.889 yeah, I'm done betting against this man. I do 00:03:42.889 --> 00:03:44.610 think that's going to be a fight that most... 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:46.939 If someone's going to study boxing, that would 00:03:46.939 --> 00:03:52.300 be a great fight to study. In my opinion, though. 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:58.780 Oh, actually, Leo, I have one more retirement 00:03:58.780 --> 00:04:01.360 announcement to add. Although maybe it fits better 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.740 over on Before Dark. But Kosei Tanaka announced 00:04:04.740 --> 00:04:09.099 his retirement as well. Really? Yeah, he injured 00:04:09.099 --> 00:04:14.110 his eye. And at 29, he decided to retire. Smart 00:04:14.110 --> 00:04:18.629 move. So Lomachenko made me think of it because 00:04:18.629 --> 00:04:25.250 Tanaka holds the fastest person to win belts 00:04:25.250 --> 00:04:30.470 at four weights. He did it in 21 fights. He did 00:04:30.470 --> 00:04:33.470 it faster than Inoue by one fight as well, I 00:04:33.470 --> 00:04:38.069 think. Oh, shit. So he broke De La Hoya's record 00:04:38.069 --> 00:04:43.480 at 24 fights. I don't think anybody's going to 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:47.500 remember Kosei Tanaka except, like, the DeGens, 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:50.620 but he was really good. I really liked watching 00:04:50.620 --> 00:04:54.160 Tanaka fight. I thought he was fun. Yeah. Good. 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.019 I also want to add another thing into Rest in 00:04:58.019 --> 00:05:02.939 Peace Michael Callum. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he passed 00:05:02.939 --> 00:05:06.139 away this week, or at the time of this recording, 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:11.660 two weeks ago. The Body Snatcher. Body Snatcher. 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:19.660 The OG Body Snatcher. Anything more for the retirements? 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:25.819 Or the 10 count? No, I don't think so. Do you 00:05:25.819 --> 00:05:29.339 guys have a word to say about Mike McCown? I 00:05:29.339 --> 00:05:31.019 didn't really know who he was until Shannara 00:05:31.019 --> 00:05:33.839 brought him up, so I don't have that much to 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:38.689 add. I already did one over on Boxing Before 00:05:38.689 --> 00:05:41.230 Dark, but if you have things to say, because 00:05:41.230 --> 00:05:44.870 I didn't make notes beforehand. It wasn't a very 00:05:44.870 --> 00:05:50.750 good eulogy. Well, I don't have much to say, 00:05:50.850 --> 00:05:53.990 same as you. I just wanted to point it out. He 00:05:53.990 --> 00:05:58.230 had a lot of great fights. Fun fighter to watch. 00:05:58.709 --> 00:06:01.509 Hell of a fighter. Rest in peace, Mike McKell. 00:06:03.009 --> 00:06:13.220 R .I .P. Alright, let's get into some recaps 00:06:13.220 --> 00:06:20.759 here. Wednesday, May 28th. Ohashi on DAZN. There 00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:27.779 are three on here to point out. Shanada, was 00:06:27.779 --> 00:06:32.879 Tsubasa yours? Yeah, yeah. Narai versus Hara 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:37.660 was a rematch. Hara got knocked out pretty quickly 00:06:37.660 --> 00:06:41.180 in the first one. And the second one didn't go 00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:43.600 much better for him. But it was a fun fight to 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:47.519 watch. A lot of action. Very little defense. 00:06:47.819 --> 00:06:53.939 Very Japanese -Asian level fight. Highly recommend 00:06:53.939 --> 00:06:58.600 it. Speaking of a lot of action, Yoshiki Takei 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:03.720 and the complete lack of action. Did you watch 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.879 this one, Alex? I saw clips of it. It was... 00:07:07.949 --> 00:07:10.329 I wish I didn't see those clips, honestly. If 00:07:10.329 --> 00:07:12.250 you saw clips, it was probably the whole fight. 00:07:12.750 --> 00:07:17.410 I don't think it took... It was, um... It was 00:07:17.410 --> 00:07:18.889 like two minutes worth of highlight, I'll tell 00:07:18.889 --> 00:07:21.550 you that. Well, the fight wasn't two minutes 00:07:21.550 --> 00:07:26.769 long, so you saw the whole fight. Yeah. Yeah, 00:07:26.790 --> 00:07:30.990 Takei just ran over this man. I don't know what... 00:07:30.990 --> 00:07:34.629 I don't know what they are saving Takai for, 00:07:34.850 --> 00:07:40.370 but... Isn't the rumor that Inoue... Or not Inoue, 00:07:40.449 --> 00:07:45.550 fucking... Tenshin Asakawa? Well, him and Tsutsumi 00:07:45.550 --> 00:07:48.069 did a whole bunch of... This is breaking news, 00:07:48.269 --> 00:07:50.310 I assume. They did a whole bunch of interviews 00:07:50.310 --> 00:07:54.110 last night at the fights. So I didn't understand 00:07:54.110 --> 00:07:56.310 any of it, but I kind of assume that they're 00:07:56.310 --> 00:07:59.589 going to unify next when Tsutsumi gets cleared 00:07:59.589 --> 00:08:03.689 by the doctors. That would be nice. Actually... 00:08:04.990 --> 00:08:08.470 I almost got a picture with Tsutsumi. I was too 00:08:08.470 --> 00:08:11.230 polite, and there was tall fucks in front of 00:08:11.230 --> 00:08:13.089 me, and I couldn't even do the, like, sneaky 00:08:13.089 --> 00:08:15.310 selfie from the side. All I got was the back 00:08:15.310 --> 00:08:19.110 of people's heads. But I got real close to him. 00:08:19.189 --> 00:08:21.750 I could have got a picture with Takei, but I 00:08:21.750 --> 00:08:23.850 wanted a picture with Tsutsumi, so I got a picture 00:08:23.850 --> 00:08:30.449 with neither of them. But... Feel bad for the 00:08:30.449 --> 00:08:34.200 guy, honestly. For Tsutsumi, I can't believe 00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:37.940 they stripped him so fast. It's pretty crazy, 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.659 actually. I thought he was champion in recess. 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.919 Yeah, sorry, stripped is the wrong word. I can't 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.860 believe they put him in recess in, what was it, 00:08:46.860 --> 00:08:50.240 two months? They let other fuckers hold belts 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:57.179 for like a year. Hardly. Yeah, like Lomachenko 00:08:57.179 --> 00:09:02.889 held his belt for a year without fighting. They 00:09:02.889 --> 00:09:07.289 hold on to the hope. But Susumi was gonna fight 00:09:07.289 --> 00:09:10.850 again. And soon. I don't think the recovery on 00:09:10.850 --> 00:09:14.309 that eye surgery is that bad. I wanna say, like, 00:09:14.389 --> 00:09:17.230 it wasn't like he was out, like, doing nothing. 00:09:17.370 --> 00:09:21.269 He got injured. You know? Yeah. And it wasn't 00:09:21.269 --> 00:09:24.169 a bad injury, but it was still an injury. You 00:09:24.169 --> 00:09:28.970 know? Yeah, well, I guess he didn't have to have 00:09:28.970 --> 00:09:32.460 the surgery done this time. But he got it done 00:09:32.460 --> 00:09:37.360 this time out of precaution. That's good. Yeah, 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.519 that's what you should do. Yeah. Been waiting 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.840 a couple people that we know in the sport. Shakur, 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:57.129 Ryan, Andre Ward. Anyways, I don't know. I'm 00:09:57.129 --> 00:09:59.590 always going to cheer for Tsutsumi, but I don't 00:09:59.590 --> 00:10:02.529 know if he can take Takei's power. Takei's power. 00:10:05.110 --> 00:10:09.350 I mean, Takei hits like a truck. I don't know 00:10:09.350 --> 00:10:11.610 how he generates that much power in that little 00:10:11.610 --> 00:10:23.289 body. He's tiny. I guess. Main event. Eduardo 00:10:23.289 --> 00:10:28.700 Nunez. versus Masanori Rikishi. The Japanese 00:10:28.700 --> 00:10:33.840 hope for the 130 title. That's the one Ogawa 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.820 used to hold, right? The IBF? Yeah. Yeah, that's 00:10:37.820 --> 00:10:41.460 right. I think we talked about this one already 00:10:41.460 --> 00:10:49.080 on Boxing Before Dark. Yeah. It was just Nunez 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:54.620 was just too much. I had posited that I thought 00:10:54.620 --> 00:10:56.879 that Nunes could have done something to maybe 00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.639 press the issue and maybe go for a stoppage. 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:04.039 But, yeah, it seemed like Rikishi was too tough 00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:09.759 for that. And good on him, you know? Yeah, didn't 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.360 give up to the final bell. Yeah, even though 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:15.460 he was losing, he was in it to win it the whole 00:11:15.460 --> 00:11:19.159 fight. You got to give him that. Yeah, he's got 00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:24.779 a dog in him. Yep. How do you say dog in Japanese? 00:11:26.059 --> 00:11:35.860 Inu. So he's got that Inu. Moving to Friday, 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.340 May 30th. We've got two cards. One of them is 00:11:39.340 --> 00:11:44.399 going to be rather quick. The main event to get 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:48.679 this one out of the way. Matchroom in Guadalajara. 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:54.419 Khalil Coe. Rearranges Manuel Gallegos' face. 00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.120 That was rough. It was a pretty brutal beatdown. 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.820 One -handed, too. He was pretty much just jabbing 00:12:02.820 --> 00:12:06.759 it the whole time. It was sharp, too. Yes. I 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:14.899 have never... Sorry, go ahead. I was going to 00:12:14.899 --> 00:12:16.419 say that I was surprised he didn't do this in 00:12:16.419 --> 00:12:18.580 the first fight. I mean, he didn't change up 00:12:18.580 --> 00:12:22.649 his style much. You know? It was a completely 00:12:22.649 --> 00:12:26.590 different fight. At first. I was surprised. Genuinely. 00:12:28.549 --> 00:12:30.389 It wasn't like Gallegos wasn't in the fight. 00:12:30.450 --> 00:12:33.070 He was in the fight for sure. I don't know if 00:12:33.070 --> 00:12:37.429 you guys can help me figure out what did Khalil 00:12:37.429 --> 00:12:40.269 do better. Well, I think it's because he broke 00:12:40.269 --> 00:12:44.570 his nose so badly in the first round. I think 00:12:44.570 --> 00:12:49.710 that really messed up Gallegos' fight from then 00:12:49.710 --> 00:12:53.929 on. He was piling at it the whole time. I have 00:12:53.929 --> 00:12:57.269 never seen a jab smash a nose like that. Like, 00:12:57.269 --> 00:12:59.669 he broke it so bad that the blood was coming 00:12:59.669 --> 00:13:03.789 out of the top of his nose somehow. Off the bridge? 00:13:04.309 --> 00:13:11.110 Yeah. It was gross. I imagine that changed how 00:13:11.110 --> 00:13:15.769 Gallegos fought for the rest of the fight. Sure. 00:13:17.009 --> 00:13:19.629 I see what you're saying. What were you going 00:13:19.629 --> 00:13:21.250 to say earlier before I inevitably interrupted 00:13:21.250 --> 00:13:24.269 you? No, I was just going to say that jab was 00:13:24.269 --> 00:13:30.309 gross. They did the slow -mo when he broke his 00:13:30.309 --> 00:13:33.129 nose and the blood squirted out of the bridge 00:13:33.129 --> 00:13:43.870 of his nose. Murojan Akhmadaliev, MJ, gets a 00:13:43.870 --> 00:13:48.899 stoppage in eight over Luis Castillo. As I put 00:13:48.899 --> 00:13:52.539 it on Boxing Before Dark, wasn't all that impressed. 00:13:53.460 --> 00:13:56.019 I was expecting better. Because this is the guy 00:13:56.019 --> 00:13:58.360 that we're talking about. He's going to be sharing 00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:00.019 the ring with Inouye. This is already a done 00:14:00.019 --> 00:14:03.940 deal. And they're doing it in a few months. And 00:14:03.940 --> 00:14:09.100 this was not a very good outing. I expected better. 00:14:11.139 --> 00:14:12.779 Honestly, I could have chopped it up too. Just 00:14:12.779 --> 00:14:15.500 probably had a bad night. For lack of a better 00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:18.879 term. It's not like he lost. He did alright. 00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:23.179 Dominant win. Yeah, dominant win. It just took 00:14:23.179 --> 00:14:25.980 a little too long. Maybe you could chop that 00:14:25.980 --> 00:14:29.460 up to the durability of the opponent. Maybe. 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:34.259 If that MJ shows up against Inouye, he's gonna 00:14:34.259 --> 00:14:39.799 die. We'll see what happens with MJ, but honestly, 00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:45.039 I hate to sound horrible here, but I kind of 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:48.820 do hope the envy shows up because i do want to 00:14:48.820 --> 00:14:53.580 see nakatani versus anyway i think that happens 00:14:53.580 --> 00:14:55.940 anyways i don't think it matters if in a way 00:14:55.940 --> 00:14:59.159 loses you don't think it matters if anyway loses 00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:02.360 his title and i don't think that matters at all 00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:05.879 no not for the fight of that scale that that 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:07.759 doesn't matter uh i'm just curious i don't know 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:10.980 the the um japanese audience as much they don't 00:15:10.980 --> 00:15:14.700 care much about the titles not when it's Two 00:15:14.700 --> 00:15:17.279 guys with that big a name. I don't think so. 00:15:18.379 --> 00:15:22.000 Okay. Maybe. Maybe I'm wrong. But it's still 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.799 going to sell out. People are going to come to 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:27.559 watch it. I also don't think we need to worry 00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:30.559 about it. I don't think MJ is going to catch 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:35.100 Inoue. Yeah. Well, we said the same thing about 00:15:35.100 --> 00:15:40.240 Cardenas. Look what happened. Never know. I said 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:43.480 Cardenas was going to do better than anyone thought. 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:48.279 I bet the over on the over under on that one. 00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:55.059 You made that money, huh? I did. It paid out 00:15:55.059 --> 00:15:59.559 pretty good, actually. Nice. Ms. Gambling Addict. 00:15:59.960 --> 00:16:04.960 We love that. Yeah, my whole five $10 bets. Cheeseburger 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:12.379 bet? Pretty much. Nice, nice, nice. I think we 00:16:12.379 --> 00:16:15.399 were talking about, with Cardenas, we were talking 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:22.080 about MJ having the same trainer, so that corner 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:28.059 experience should be pretty useful, I think. 00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:33.399 And Inoue does make the same mistake every fucking 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.320 time. I just... I don't know if MJ is going to 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:39.440 be able to capitalize any better than anyone 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:45.879 else has. If he's smart, he can. I just don't 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:48.840 think MJ's that good. Yeah, if he's as good as 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:55.799 I'd like to think he is. Maybe. I mean, stranger 00:16:55.799 --> 00:17:00.279 things have happened, but I don't see it. I don't 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:04.180 think MJ's that good. I think, in a way, I'll 00:17:04.180 --> 00:17:11.599 pick him apart. Pretty quickly. Hope Inouye wins 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.359 that one, though. So you can stick it to Eddie 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:17.480 Hearn. Any chance to stick it to Eddie Hearn. 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:20.420 Eddie Hearn's been taking some pretty serious 00:17:20.420 --> 00:17:25.680 L's lately. That he has. He's the British Oscar. 00:17:26.980 --> 00:17:33.859 Say that. That's just rude. Honestly, I... Okay, 00:17:33.940 --> 00:17:36.140 this might catch some flack. Might catch a lot 00:17:36.140 --> 00:17:38.799 of black, actually. I mean, I love Oscar the 00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:43.539 fighter, but the promoter, I think he's the worst 00:17:43.539 --> 00:17:48.359 promoter than Eddie Hearn. I think Eddie Hearn's 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.619 a pretty good promoter. Yeah, I mean, Eddie Hearn 00:17:52.619 --> 00:17:54.440 is a promoter. He promotes the hell out of his 00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:56.539 fights compared to Oscar, dude. Yeah, he does. 00:17:56.660 --> 00:17:58.740 And we're going to get to this right now. I mean, 00:17:58.779 --> 00:18:01.819 I knew about the Khalil Cole fight a long time 00:18:01.819 --> 00:18:06.279 ago, but friggin'... What, we're going to talk 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:08.960 about Darius Fulgham versus Beck the Bully? I 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:10.220 mean, I didn't really know about it until we 00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:13.960 started talking about it on the pod. Yeah. That 00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:15.740 kind of just goes to show you the difference 00:18:15.740 --> 00:18:17.720 between the promoters, you know what I mean? 00:18:19.539 --> 00:18:22.000 Eddie Hearn is definitely louder for his fighters, 00:18:22.099 --> 00:18:25.019 and he's more on social media for his fighters. 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:29.059 Oscar's still promoting himself a lot of the 00:18:29.059 --> 00:18:31.670 time. That's what a lot of his social media presence 00:18:31.670 --> 00:18:34.750 is, is like that clapback stuff. Like, it's funny, 00:18:34.849 --> 00:18:38.109 but at no point... I've watched a few of them. 00:18:38.130 --> 00:18:40.410 I can't say I've seen them all, but in the few 00:18:40.410 --> 00:18:43.170 that I've seen, he never once talks about an 00:18:43.170 --> 00:18:46.569 event that he has coming up. He just talks about 00:18:46.569 --> 00:18:50.710 himself. Yeah. Like he struck his ego, just like 00:18:50.710 --> 00:18:54.630 Mayweather. Yeah, he likes his ego. That's why 00:18:54.630 --> 00:18:57.349 a lot of ex -fighters don't make good promoters. 00:18:58.609 --> 00:19:01.109 Like, none of the really famous for being good 00:19:01.109 --> 00:19:05.029 promoters people were ever fighters. Oscar's 00:19:05.029 --> 00:19:06.849 the only one that really succeeded at that, and 00:19:06.849 --> 00:19:09.150 look how he is. We're going to talk about it 00:19:09.150 --> 00:19:13.269 again right now, but his promotional company's 00:19:13.269 --> 00:19:19.269 good. Yeah. Which we'll also get into next week 00:19:19.269 --> 00:19:23.250 when we talk about what he has coming up. All 00:19:23.250 --> 00:19:24.930 right, but let's get to the Golden Boy card here. 00:19:26.269 --> 00:19:29.640 Virgin Hotel. In Las Vegas. There's only two 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:31.559 fights on here that I think are worth mentioning. 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:35.700 Unless you two have others worth pointing out. 00:19:36.299 --> 00:19:39.400 But for me it was Eric Priest versus Luis Arias. 00:19:40.099 --> 00:19:43.079 This was a great step up for Eric Priest. And 00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:46.599 he handled it perfectly. It was a dominant win. 00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:49.599 It wasn't flashy. It wasn't like highlight reel. 00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:54.559 Fucking social media. Virality. Nothing like 00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:57.589 that. He got the job done. He did the work. He 00:19:57.589 --> 00:20:00.069 got the rounds in, and he got the job done. There's 00:20:00.069 --> 00:20:04.710 not much else to it. No, it was a good, solid 00:20:04.710 --> 00:20:07.150 performance, though. I actually didn't know who 00:20:07.150 --> 00:20:09.329 Eric Priest was. I might have watched him before, 00:20:09.450 --> 00:20:12.269 but I didn't remember him. I watched him in the 00:20:12.269 --> 00:20:14.789 Golden Boy Undercard. Yep. So I kind of forgot 00:20:14.789 --> 00:20:17.109 about him. Kind of one of those fighters that 00:20:17.109 --> 00:20:18.490 you will see him Undercard and you won't really 00:20:18.490 --> 00:20:20.769 remember. Yeah, you see him. He's always there, 00:20:20.950 --> 00:20:25.730 just never really stands out. Yeah. I don't know. 00:20:25.789 --> 00:20:28.470 Hopefully he... I don't know. Maybe somebody 00:20:28.470 --> 00:20:32.589 needs to give him a little nudge. Like, dude, 00:20:32.609 --> 00:20:35.809 if you want people to recognize you or remember 00:20:35.809 --> 00:20:38.509 you, you're going to have to start laying some 00:20:38.509 --> 00:20:43.549 people out. That's easier said than done, bro. 00:20:43.690 --> 00:20:46.809 I was literally about to say that. It's way easier 00:20:46.809 --> 00:20:48.490 said than done. It's like telling Shakur not 00:20:48.490 --> 00:20:56.380 to be boring. That's the same thing as Eric Priest. 00:20:56.460 --> 00:21:01.359 Don't be boring. I think he was trying to not 00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:04.579 be boring. He just isn't going to be KOing people 00:21:04.579 --> 00:21:09.619 in highlight reel stoppages. He was not as boring 00:21:09.619 --> 00:21:14.140 as Shakur. That is not a fair comparison. Honestly, 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:16.299 at this stage, it's better to be a little more 00:21:16.299 --> 00:21:19.279 skillful than just mong out. You know what I 00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:23.130 mean? Yeah. Hone your skills a little more. You 00:21:23.130 --> 00:21:26.509 know what I mean? Fix whatever you need to fix 00:21:26.509 --> 00:21:31.309 early. Makes sense. I also wanted to point out, 00:21:31.410 --> 00:21:33.690 I know you said only two fights, but I know there's 00:21:33.690 --> 00:21:34.950 another one that I really wanted to point out. 00:21:35.230 --> 00:21:37.690 Joshua Edwards, the feature American Heavyweight. 00:21:39.369 --> 00:21:43.109 Okay. How did he do? Did you guys watch that? 00:21:43.230 --> 00:21:47.170 I don't recall. I got a look up his face, but 00:21:47.170 --> 00:21:50.170 I probably didn't watch. Yeah, he knocked the 00:21:50.170 --> 00:21:53.609 guy out. He's, uh... He was from the Olympics. 00:21:53.650 --> 00:21:57.309 We talked about this a couple of pods ago. He 00:21:57.309 --> 00:22:01.809 went to the 2024 Olympics. He's a switch hitter. 00:22:02.690 --> 00:22:04.750 He's fast. I'll tell you this. He's fast. He 00:22:04.750 --> 00:22:08.930 has knockout power. I think he's promising. Reminds 00:22:08.930 --> 00:22:13.150 me of Jared Anderson when he first started out. 00:22:13.210 --> 00:22:21.740 You know what I mean? Before he got boring? Oh, 00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:23.880 he was the very first one. I did not watch this 00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:31.460 fight. I think Joshua Edwards is dead. If there's 00:22:31.460 --> 00:22:33.119 going to be another American heavyweight champion, 00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:36.720 it's going to be him. For sure. No doubt about 00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:41.559 it. Old statement. I'll have to put him on the 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:48.160 list of people to watch. I think... I know, again, 00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:51.269 I know it's... really, really early to say because 00:22:51.269 --> 00:22:54.690 we haven't really seen much of his chin. But 00:22:54.690 --> 00:22:58.630 you know what? It kind of... For American heavyweights, 00:22:58.670 --> 00:23:00.369 we don't have much, so he'll at least be the 00:23:00.369 --> 00:23:03.589 number one rank, at least. Okay. I see what you 00:23:03.589 --> 00:23:06.730 mean. We have Richard Torres and we have Deontay 00:23:06.730 --> 00:23:09.609 Wilder, Jarrell Miller, Jerry Anderson. That's 00:23:09.609 --> 00:23:14.950 dire. That is not good at all. You are calling 00:23:14.950 --> 00:23:18.579 this after two pro fights, though. So... Well, 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:20.160 you have to watch him to understand what I'm 00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:22.579 saying, though. He does look very promising. 00:23:23.299 --> 00:23:25.779 Yeah, I'll have to check him out. He's short. 00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:29.759 He's 6 '3". But you know what? He's going to 00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:30.960 do some work in the future, I guarantee you. 00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:34.319 But the fact that the heavyweights are getting 00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:36.920 smaller, too. That's exactly what I was going 00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:39.619 to bring up, was something that I think it was 00:23:39.619 --> 00:23:44.220 Nathan said on Ultimate FN Casuals. It was that, 00:23:44.380 --> 00:23:47.059 or no, it was Isaac, that the era of the Titanweight. 00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:53.140 That shit's starting to fade away. Tyson Fury 00:23:53.140 --> 00:23:56.680 riding off into the fucking who knows where. 00:23:57.819 --> 00:24:04.259 If he'll ever come back. Yeah. He's like 6 '4". 00:24:04.259 --> 00:24:10.059 Usyk, I think 6 '3". Richard Torres is... The 00:24:10.059 --> 00:24:12.960 heavyweights stay at this size. A guy like Richard 00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:16.259 Torres can be competitive. But I think Fabio 00:24:16.259 --> 00:24:21.589 Wardley... we'll talk about later is that he's 00:24:21.589 --> 00:24:27.910 like the biggest at 6 '5 or something. Yeah, 00:24:27.910 --> 00:24:31.809 I don't know how tall he is. He doesn't seem 00:24:31.809 --> 00:24:38.690 super tall though. Yeah, 6 '5. He's going to 00:24:38.690 --> 00:24:42.730 be the tallest in the future. The era of big 00:24:42.730 --> 00:24:46.000 heavyweights is over, I think. I think so. Which 00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:49.259 is good, because those giants are fucking boring. 00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:55.599 They don't move. They're so slow. They say the 00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:58.880 bigger you are, the harder they fall. Yeah. They 00:24:58.880 --> 00:25:03.759 never really went up to the kill, you know? I 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:09.039 see the back. I'm not gonna... Let's bring this 00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:12.599 back around here. Beck the Bully gets a UD over 00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:17.420 Darius Fulgham. How did you say it, Shannara? 00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:21.460 Why is Beck so fucking dumb? Yeah, he makes the 00:25:21.460 --> 00:25:24.160 stupidest fucking decisions I have ever seen 00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:29.859 in the ring. Like, he is so frustrating to watch 00:25:29.859 --> 00:25:33.220 to me because I want him to be good. I can see 00:25:33.220 --> 00:25:36.160 that he could be good if he wasn't fucking stupid. 00:25:36.779 --> 00:25:41.410 He has learned one lesson. Yeah. I did notice 00:25:41.410 --> 00:25:45.369 every time that Fulgham went into a corner, Beck 00:25:45.369 --> 00:25:47.750 backed off and had him come to the center of 00:25:47.750 --> 00:25:53.930 the ring. Never again. That Gabe knockout has 00:25:53.930 --> 00:26:02.470 left him so shocked. That was a good fight. It 00:26:02.470 --> 00:26:06.170 was fine. Like Beck getting a point deducted. 00:26:07.150 --> 00:26:10.809 then the knockdown yeah he's getting docked a 00:26:10.809 --> 00:26:14.170 point for being a fucking idiot dude he told 00:26:14.170 --> 00:26:17.130 you to stop holding like a thousand times what 00:26:17.130 --> 00:26:20.509 the hell is the matter with you and then like 00:26:20.509 --> 00:26:22.769 he was doing good in the first few rounds and 00:26:22.769 --> 00:26:24.970 in the middle rounds he started losing and then 00:26:24.970 --> 00:26:28.309 decided to showboat for some reason that i didn't 00:26:28.309 --> 00:26:31.819 understand And then, like, actually listened 00:26:31.819 --> 00:26:34.099 to his coaches in the last couple rounds, got 00:26:34.099 --> 00:26:36.900 the knockout and the decision. But, like, the 00:26:36.900 --> 00:26:42.799 cards were close. The knockdown, I think, sort 00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:47.299 of swayed the decision either way. Well, because 00:26:47.299 --> 00:26:53.539 he got the point deducted, they evened out. Yeah. 00:26:54.099 --> 00:26:59.079 Yeah, he won 114 -112 on every scorecard. So 00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:02.519 he won by one round. Yeah. He's so frustrating 00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:05.460 to watch because he just does stupid things. 00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:11.160 But he won. It's difficult to prognosticate what 00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:14.279 could be next for Beck just because he's such 00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:17.700 a fucking dumbass. So you want to say, oh, he 00:27:17.700 --> 00:27:21.400 should fight, I don't know, fucking Jermall Charlo. 00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:25.359 And then, like, oh, nope. You're a fucking idiot. 00:27:25.539 --> 00:27:28.180 And Charlo could be right for the picking, but... 00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:32.920 Not by you. Well, I'll tell you this. If they 00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:34.900 really wanted to screw Canelo over, he could 00:27:34.900 --> 00:27:38.240 activate his mandatory. Oh, he's a mandatory 00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:41.779 for which one? I think he's a mandatory now, 00:27:41.779 --> 00:27:49.480 right? I think the WBA? Sounds about right. Either 00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:55.039 mandatory or he has an interim. He's got something. 00:27:55.240 --> 00:28:00.740 The interim WBA is with Resendiz. Oh, no, no, 00:28:00.779 --> 00:28:05.960 no. We'll talk about that right now. Yeah. If 00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:07.220 Beck's going to fight someone next, it should 00:28:07.220 --> 00:28:09.319 be Plant. But we'll talk about that right now 00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:14.579 as well. Well, I think Plant still fights Charlo. 00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:20.339 I don't think anybody cares that he lost. Can 00:28:20.339 --> 00:28:22.900 we get into that right now? Yeah, let's fucking 00:28:22.900 --> 00:28:29.329 boogie. Saturday, May 31st, PBC on Prime at the 00:28:29.329 --> 00:28:33.190 Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. From the undercard, 00:28:33.390 --> 00:28:37.410 I only have two that I wanted to point out. Kermel, 00:28:37.410 --> 00:28:42.609 Moten. Similar to Eric Priest, but this is different. 00:28:42.750 --> 00:28:45.369 A little different because Kermel's a lot younger. 00:28:46.210 --> 00:28:51.069 Young man, get your rounds in. They're not all 00:28:51.069 --> 00:28:54.319 going to be flashy. social media knockdowns or 00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:58.039 knockouts so whatever man you got the work in 00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:01.980 you won handily so not much to you don't have 00:29:01.980 --> 00:29:05.940 to worry about it people should slow the fuck 00:29:05.940 --> 00:29:12.319 down like let him build himself up let him learn 00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:18.339 a little yeah i have to admit i didn't watch 00:29:18.339 --> 00:29:22.839 this one You gotta be, this is one of those, 00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:24.700 like, you gotta be invested in the prospect kind 00:29:24.700 --> 00:29:31.839 of thing. Yoeli Hernandez beats the ever -loving 00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:37.980 shit out of Kyron Davis. Fucking rest in potatoes, 00:29:38.339 --> 00:29:45.200 because you got mashed, dude. Come on, Leo. I 00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:49.099 thought it was good. It was good, but come on, 00:29:49.099 --> 00:29:55.920 bro. I really liked this fight, actually. I thought 00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:59.000 it was fun. But I don't really like Kyron Davis, 00:29:59.299 --> 00:30:01.299 so it was fun to watch him get his ass kicked. 00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:09.220 Fucking 10 to nothing, plus the knockdown. That's 00:30:09.220 --> 00:30:13.660 a fight where your corner should maybe be like, 00:30:13.819 --> 00:30:18.069 hey, you sure you want to keep doing this? We're 00:30:18.069 --> 00:30:21.490 just putting on mileage, and we are not getting 00:30:21.490 --> 00:30:26.089 anywhere. So, you know how BoxRec also does the 00:30:26.089 --> 00:30:29.289 fan scores, and they can be wildly ridiculous? 00:30:29.809 --> 00:30:33.150 Yeah. Even the fan scores was a clear sweep. 00:30:33.710 --> 00:30:38.890 Nice. Everybody agreed. Yunli's only 7 -0, so 00:30:38.890 --> 00:30:42.190 he's still got time to build himself up. I think 00:30:42.190 --> 00:30:45.150 by that time, the guard should have changed. 00:30:45.869 --> 00:30:49.390 Or will be in the process of changing at the 00:30:49.390 --> 00:30:51.750 top of middleweight. Because right now it's dead 00:30:51.750 --> 00:30:55.910 as shit. There's Johnny Beck and who really gives 00:30:55.910 --> 00:30:59.849 a shit? Who else? Carlos Adamas. Carlos Adamas, 00:30:59.849 --> 00:31:08.289 I guess. And then Elijah Garcia. Also boo. Ramos. 00:31:09.529 --> 00:31:12.230 Oh, there's the Kazik guy. I don't know how to 00:31:12.230 --> 00:31:20.559 say his name. Is it Johnny Beck? Yes. Okay. I 00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:24.420 was looking at his last name. Alim Kanali. Yeah. 00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:29.279 Okay. Sorry. If he was Italian, he'd be Alim 00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:36.099 Kanali. Leo has infected me. Really bad, actually. 00:31:37.220 --> 00:31:39.319 I've been saying some shit that only Leo would 00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:43.279 say. I'm going to tell you next week as well. 00:31:45.370 --> 00:31:51.490 I'm a star people. Excited to see what comes 00:31:51.490 --> 00:31:55.410 from Yuanli. He's kind of... Chiron's like a 00:31:55.410 --> 00:32:00.170 solid test. So this is a good gauge of what we 00:32:00.170 --> 00:32:05.990 can expect out of Yuanli. Looks like WBO's got 00:32:05.990 --> 00:32:11.049 him listed as number six. That's pretty high. 00:32:11.130 --> 00:32:14.609 That's quick. He's not going to get that title. 00:32:14.710 --> 00:32:19.829 Hell no. WBA has him listed as number one under 00:32:19.829 --> 00:32:23.990 Erislandy Lara. Cuba versus Cuba. Of course he 00:32:23.990 --> 00:32:28.789 is. Don't make that fight. Yeah, that's PBC in 00:32:28.789 --> 00:32:31.529 -house. Of course. PBC in -house, Cuba versus 00:32:31.529 --> 00:32:34.990 Cuba. Give it to a young guy. Pass the torch. 00:32:35.450 --> 00:32:38.829 Yep, exactly what I was thinking. That's easy. 00:32:39.130 --> 00:32:44.599 Easy work. What, 87 fights in? I mean, he could 00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:47.460 maybe win it, but I don't know. That seems rushed. 00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:53.539 Yeah, it is. But Lara is also fucking ancient. 00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:59.839 But he's Cuban ancient, which is weird. Like, 00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:03.720 sometimes they just pull youth out of their ass 00:33:03.720 --> 00:33:08.440 somehow. Yeah, being a Cuban anything means nothing. 00:33:09.019 --> 00:33:12.890 You could either be 10 years older than you say 00:33:12.890 --> 00:33:16.009 you are or you're going to continue fighting 00:33:16.009 --> 00:33:18.650 like you're 10 years younger than you are. Far 00:33:18.650 --> 00:33:22.690 longer than you should. Yeah, Cuban ages are 00:33:22.690 --> 00:33:25.950 random. It's fucking weird. Become boring in 00:33:25.950 --> 00:33:28.029 the first half of your career and then a power 00:33:28.029 --> 00:33:32.589 puncher the next half. That's true. Speaking 00:33:32.589 --> 00:33:39.210 of fucking weird. Jamal Charlo gets the doctor 00:33:39.210 --> 00:33:44.670 stoppage over Tommy LaManna, Cornflake, the dude 00:33:44.670 --> 00:33:47.869 who got knocked down three times throughout the 00:33:47.869 --> 00:33:52.769 course of the fight and still showboated. That 00:33:52.769 --> 00:33:55.369 was so weird. It was fucking strange. He won 00:33:55.369 --> 00:33:58.089 the fight for me. He won the story of the night 00:33:58.089 --> 00:34:03.210 for that reason. Cornflake won. Just because 00:34:03.210 --> 00:34:05.059 he just... Plowing on Jamal and Charlo, because 00:34:05.059 --> 00:34:06.960 Charlo should have gotten him out a lot earlier. 00:34:08.420 --> 00:34:11.699 Charlo looked like shit. Oh, he looked bad, dude. 00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:15.239 He looked bad. In my opinion, at least. I was 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:19.179 on the copium. I was like, yeah, he doesn't look 00:34:19.179 --> 00:34:22.619 that bad. He's just rusty, because he's been 00:34:22.619 --> 00:34:25.699 out of the ring for so long. I said that at first, 00:34:25.739 --> 00:34:27.920 in the beginning of the... When I first watched 00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:29.219 the fight, and then I rewatched it, I was like, 00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:32.440 no, you look bad. Like, really bad. It's not 00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:36.039 the same guy. Not the same Charlo we knew. Not 00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:40.480 even the same Charlo against Benavidez. That's 00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:44.619 a low bar to get over and he still managed to 00:34:44.619 --> 00:34:48.500 fucking trip on it. I really think Charlo's done. 00:34:49.380 --> 00:34:51.539 At least he won this fight. At least he won the 00:34:51.539 --> 00:34:55.880 fight, dude. Some people on boxers don't know 00:34:55.880 --> 00:35:07.170 how to do that. Some boxers who don't know how 00:35:07.170 --> 00:35:11.389 to win when they're supposed to because they're 00:35:11.389 --> 00:35:15.710 setting up a big money fight with their rival 00:35:15.710 --> 00:35:19.670 in the co -main. Caleb Plant drops the fucking 00:35:19.670 --> 00:35:25.010 ball. They gotta stop. They gotta stop with these 00:35:25.010 --> 00:35:28.610 setup cards, man. Just make the fucking fights. 00:35:29.570 --> 00:35:32.829 Every time they even mention the main fight in 00:35:32.829 --> 00:35:35.860 the co -main, it goes to shit. It always goes 00:35:35.860 --> 00:35:37.599 to shit. And we'll talk about that next week. 00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:40.079 We'll talk about it next week, but it always 00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:45.559 goes to shit. Ryan. Fucking Plant. Anthony Joshua, 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:49.340 dude. They don't know how to... They gotta fucking 00:35:49.340 --> 00:35:55.400 step up. They gotta step it up. Resendez looked 00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:57.880 good, though. I was about to say, let's give 00:35:57.880 --> 00:36:00.960 Resendez his flowers, because he dominated the 00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:04.309 fight. Like, Plant opened up strong, yeah. Got 00:36:04.309 --> 00:36:10.070 the first four pretty clean. After that, it was 00:36:10.070 --> 00:36:14.269 just the Resende show. Completely one -sided. 00:36:14.550 --> 00:36:18.670 Are we going to talk about the fucking Sutherland 00:36:18.670 --> 00:36:23.570 scorecard? Because this was a split decision. 00:36:23.929 --> 00:36:29.690 I know. So bad. David Sutherland gave Caleb Plant 00:36:29.690 --> 00:36:33.510 the last three rounds. That he 100 % fucking 00:36:33.510 --> 00:36:37.829 lost. Absolutely lost them. He tried to paint 00:36:37.829 --> 00:36:41.510 them off. Yeah. You can tell when they turn in 00:36:41.510 --> 00:36:46.630 these bogus fucking cards. That's just crazy. 00:36:47.050 --> 00:36:49.849 And it's always fucking David Sutherland too. 00:36:50.389 --> 00:36:52.409 It's either David Sutherland or Tim Cheatham. 00:36:52.730 --> 00:36:57.349 Yep. 100%. Tim Cheatham be named Tim Cheatham. 00:36:58.769 --> 00:37:02.289 He's the cheap pig. I would never have him be 00:37:02.289 --> 00:37:05.650 a referee in boxing, dude. Just purely on his 00:37:05.650 --> 00:37:10.570 name alone. Tim Cheatham. The big three robbers 00:37:10.570 --> 00:37:13.329 are David Sutherland, Tim Cheatham, and then 00:37:13.329 --> 00:37:16.230 what was the other one? Weisfeld? Steve Weisfeld. 00:37:16.369 --> 00:37:19.590 Steve Weisfeld. And they get to work every fucking 00:37:19.590 --> 00:37:23.389 big fight. Oh, yeah. We've talked about this 00:37:23.389 --> 00:37:26.269 before, Leo, but we need new judges. These guys 00:37:26.269 --> 00:37:30.559 are fucking ancient. Yep. They're losing their 00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:34.900 fucking marbles. Yeah, they're... I swear to 00:37:34.900 --> 00:37:37.059 God, half of them can't see across the fucking 00:37:37.059 --> 00:37:39.920 ring they're so old. That's right. I don't get 00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:42.559 why they don't talk to the judges about why the 00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:46.440 score of the rounds is, you know... I don't either. 00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:51.300 I do not get it. They should do that. I don't 00:37:51.300 --> 00:37:52.659 know why they haven't done that. They should 00:37:52.659 --> 00:37:56.320 have to defend their scores. Exactly. I mean, 00:37:56.320 --> 00:38:02.119 like... And it's worse. Well, and referees get 00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:05.420 interviewed after every major sport event, mostly, 00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:07.539 don't they? Like, I don't watch that many sports. 00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:10.639 I watch hockey. But they'll ask referees questions 00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:14.380 all the time. I'm pretty sure they ask boxing 00:38:14.380 --> 00:38:20.880 referees as well. Yeah. Like, I don't get it. 00:38:21.980 --> 00:38:25.699 I don't get why the judges never have to... Answer 00:38:25.699 --> 00:38:28.340 for fucking anything. I mean, to be honest, this 00:38:28.340 --> 00:38:31.280 isn't the worst card I've ever seen, but it's 00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:34.920 pretty fucking terrible. Yeah. No, no, it's bad. 00:38:35.099 --> 00:38:38.960 It's bad. Those three rounds going to plant make 00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:43.380 no sense. Let's bring it back to Resendiz, because 00:38:43.380 --> 00:38:48.400 he's got options, I think. He holds an interim 00:38:48.400 --> 00:38:54.039 title. And I think right now, this is the perfect 00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:57.260 time for him to secure a big fight. Just because 00:38:57.260 --> 00:38:59.840 the iron is hot. He came in, got the big upset. 00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:05.699 Now's the time to try to sign somebody else that's, 00:39:05.699 --> 00:39:12.980 I don't know, big name. This is 168, right? Yes. 00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:16.860 So that is the one that Beck is the mandatory 00:39:16.860 --> 00:39:20.510 underneath. If Canelo's not going to fight him. 00:39:21.429 --> 00:39:24.670 Beck's a decent name. Yeah. Not terrible. Resendiz. 00:39:25.769 --> 00:39:29.329 Resendiz Beck. Not bad. That could be a bit of 00:39:29.329 --> 00:39:32.389 a war, actually. That might be fun. I mean, Beck 00:39:32.389 --> 00:39:34.090 the Bully's a fun fighter to watch, but he's 00:39:34.090 --> 00:39:38.369 a mom. He's fucking stupid. You have an aggressive 00:39:38.369 --> 00:39:43.170 Mexican fighter versus an aggressive Uzbek? Uzbek, 00:39:43.250 --> 00:39:46.329 yeah. An aggressive Uzbek fighter? That's gangbusters 00:39:46.329 --> 00:39:54.159 right there. Pacheco's ranked in there. Diego 00:39:54.159 --> 00:40:04.039 Pacheco. If he wasn't busy, Hamza sure ass. I 00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:06.320 think Beck's probably the best one to fight. 00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:11.719 Yeah, because I don't think Canelo's going to 00:40:11.719 --> 00:40:15.699 give him a shot. No. Even a rematch with Caleb 00:40:15.699 --> 00:40:19.480 Plant? I don't know. I don't think it goes any 00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:23.139 different. Oh, no. I don't know. I'm just saying 00:40:23.139 --> 00:40:26.340 probably just to, you know... Shut up the haters. 00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:29.780 Yeah, because I've seen a lot of people say that, 00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:31.880 like, Steel Plant was his gas when he was injured. 00:40:32.940 --> 00:40:35.840 You know what I mean? Oh, my ass. Fucking copium. 00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:37.760 I don't know why people are saying something 00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:39.619 about our injury. I didn't hear anything about 00:40:39.619 --> 00:40:43.159 that, but... I still think Plant's gonna fight 00:40:43.159 --> 00:40:45.480 Charlo. I don't think it matters that Plant lost. 00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:48.909 Yeah, I agree with that. They're still going 00:40:48.909 --> 00:40:51.309 to do it. Charlo also looked like shit, so why 00:40:51.309 --> 00:40:57.170 not? I guess. What about William School? No. 00:40:59.650 --> 00:41:04.190 That's bait, Leo. And you know it. 8 -3 -3 -5 00:41:04.190 --> 00:41:07.650 -8 -9 -7 -6 -3 -7. Why is Resendiz vs. William 00:41:07.650 --> 00:41:10.050 School the best fight to make at 168? That does 00:41:10.050 --> 00:41:13.239 not include the title holder. No, why is it the 00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:16.739 worst? Resendiz would do a better job cutting 00:41:16.739 --> 00:41:19.260 off the ring. He would make Canelo look bad. 00:41:21.300 --> 00:41:25.539 I mean, if you really wanted to, like, I guess, 00:41:25.539 --> 00:41:28.840 make Resendiz a bigger name somehow, you can 00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:33.599 make him fight. Wouldn't it be cool? Yeah, if 00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:35.980 you were trying to invest in him. I'm trying 00:41:35.980 --> 00:41:39.429 to, like... Help Leo's case out here just to 00:41:39.429 --> 00:41:43.110 be silly, but it's hurting my soul. Yeah, well, 00:41:43.269 --> 00:41:46.389 no worries. I just like throwing that one out 00:41:46.389 --> 00:41:49.309 because it's fun. It's not. It's the opposite 00:41:49.309 --> 00:41:54.429 of fun, Leo. Leo, you're crazy, man. Yeah, well, 00:41:54.510 --> 00:41:59.269 what can I say? You could say that Resendez should 00:41:59.269 --> 00:42:01.010 fight Beck the Bully. That's what you should 00:42:01.010 --> 00:42:03.210 say. That is an excellent fight, and I do think 00:42:03.210 --> 00:42:05.469 Resendez versus Beck the Bully should happen. 00:42:05.769 --> 00:42:09.099 Absolutely. I think it'd be fun. I also really 00:42:09.099 --> 00:42:13.400 like the name Beck the Bully. It's so good. There's 00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:16.619 that Kazakh dude who's also named Beck. In the 00:42:16.619 --> 00:42:19.239 same weight class, isn't he? Yeah, Beck Normagambet. 00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:25.159 Cool. Beck versus Beck? Yeah. Winner keeps the 00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:33.519 name. Anything more? No. I think we're good. 00:42:34.340 --> 00:42:37.980 Alright, well then, let me...

It's a dangerous 00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:07.219 day. Just kidding. It's fine. In Thomastown, 00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:12.460 Victoria, Australia. PM events at the Q Room. 00:47:13.460 --> 00:47:19.800 Lucas Big Daddy Brown. Remember that name? Maybe 00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:22.500 you don't. If you've only been watching the last 00:47:22.500 --> 00:47:25.000 couple, last few years, you don't know who the 00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:28.579 fuck that is. But just have a look at him. He's 00:47:28.579 --> 00:47:32.679 a very interesting character. Both of these guys 00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:36.559 look like they just came out of a Russian prison. 00:47:36.739 --> 00:47:40.800 I know they're Australian, but... Lucas Brown 00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:43.699 is like fucking head to toe covered in tattoos. 00:47:44.699 --> 00:47:48.300 The other guy's got the three crosses where most 00:47:48.300 --> 00:47:50.760 people get like that teardrop under their eye. 00:47:51.780 --> 00:47:56.480 And his nickname is The Balkan. Wow. That's crazy. 00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:04.300 Well, so yeah, that's David Padovan. One of the 00:48:04.300 --> 00:48:06.940 main reasons I brought this one up is not just 00:48:06.940 --> 00:48:10.539 because Lucas Brown like throwback. He's 31 -6, 00:48:10.780 --> 00:48:13.019 and he's fighting David Padavan, who's 3 -0. 00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:18.739 That's what makes me... I need to find a way 00:48:18.739 --> 00:48:21.480 to watch this. Somehow, someway, I need to watch 00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:27.340 this. Because that's fucking absurd. Yeah, I 00:48:27.340 --> 00:48:29.280 do not think this is going to be a good card 00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:33.500 by any stretch. I don't know. It took me until 00:48:33.500 --> 00:48:37.199 today. I've been looking for a fight poster. 00:48:37.929 --> 00:48:43.469 I found one like an hour ago. Finally. Earlier? 00:48:43.809 --> 00:48:48.190 Yeah. Nice. I don't know who's... PM events is 00:48:48.190 --> 00:48:49.829 all I know. And that's just because they're on 00:48:49.829 --> 00:48:57.010 the tickets. That's all I got. Yeah. Amir Khan 00:48:57.010 --> 00:49:02.090 promotions on DAZN. Their first ever... I think 00:49:02.090 --> 00:49:04.710 it's their first event. It's going to be in Accra, 00:49:04.750 --> 00:49:14.920 Ghana. at the Bukom Boxing Arena. This is like 00:49:14.920 --> 00:49:19.280 Brit slop. It's an event? It is a British event 00:49:19.280 --> 00:49:25.519 with a whole lot of that level of fight. Yeah. 00:49:27.219 --> 00:49:34.519 Headline, Andrew Tabidi versus Jacob Dixon. Fun 00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:39.539 stuff, I know. Like I said on the other podcast, 00:49:39.760 --> 00:49:42.179 I'm kind of excited to see what the crowd dress 00:49:42.179 --> 00:49:45.380 looks like. Because Ghana has some really cool 00:49:45.380 --> 00:49:49.699 clothes. So I'm probably going to tune in just 00:49:49.699 --> 00:49:52.099 to see what the event looks like being held in 00:49:52.099 --> 00:49:56.800 Ghana. Should be fun. Also, just to see what 00:49:56.800 --> 00:50:04.070 the general crowd is like. Yeah, the vibes. Oh, 00:50:04.110 --> 00:50:09.769 speaking of vibes, on Saturday, June 14th, Zan 00:50:09.769 --> 00:50:17.489 for Promotions at the multi -use center in Hermosillo, 00:50:17.630 --> 00:50:21.829 Sonora. This is in Mexico. Now, I said multi 00:50:21.829 --> 00:50:26.789 -use. Multiple use center is what it's called. 00:50:27.190 --> 00:50:30.980 Translated. But in Spanish. It's El Centro. De 00:50:30.980 --> 00:50:39.019 usos multiples. And the acronym is C -U -M. They're 00:50:39.019 --> 00:50:41.219 in the multi -purpose room. They are in the c 00:50:41.219 --> 00:50:50.000 - We gotta keep it professional, huh? Yeah, that's 00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:52.699 where the censorship comes in, unfortunately. 00:50:53.219 --> 00:50:56.000 This is when the Patreon comes in. Yeah, actually. 00:50:56.219 --> 00:50:58.440 If you're curious what happened during that little 00:50:58.440 --> 00:51:02.340 treble break there. You can go check it out. 00:51:03.239 --> 00:51:08.260 So on the Zanfra card, the co -main Camila Encinas 00:51:08.260 --> 00:51:14.039 versus Mika Awokawa. It's an IBF trinket at Adam 00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:18.679 weight. Those are some tiny fucking people. Adam 00:51:18.679 --> 00:51:25.039 weight. Yeah. Wait, hold on. Adam weight? Is 00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:30.949 below minimum, aka straw weight. You have to 00:51:30.949 --> 00:51:33.829 be under 100 pounds. I've never heard of that 00:51:33.829 --> 00:51:36.269 ever in my life. I'm not even joking. This is 00:51:36.269 --> 00:51:38.610 the first time I've ever heard of that. It's 00:51:38.610 --> 00:51:42.769 a lot more common in the MMA side of things, 00:51:42.849 --> 00:51:48.050 like in the grappling tournaments and Muay Thai. 00:51:49.230 --> 00:51:53.429 It's more common because Thai people are a little 00:51:53.429 --> 00:51:59.210 bit smaller than average in the West. Well, I 00:51:59.210 --> 00:52:02.690 don't think any of the boxing belts recognize 00:52:02.690 --> 00:52:07.630 Adam Waite. Just IBF? Does the IBF recognize 00:52:07.630 --> 00:52:11.730 Adam Waite? This fight is for a secondary title 00:52:11.730 --> 00:52:16.309 at the Waite. Sorry, men's Adam Waite is what 00:52:16.309 --> 00:52:21.750 I meant. No, I don't think that any men's divisions 00:52:21.750 --> 00:52:26.469 recognize Adam Waite as a thing. Headlining. 00:52:29.140 --> 00:52:35.260 The box in the... Headlining the Zanfra card. 00:52:35.639 --> 00:52:40.480 Juan Francisco Estrada, one of my favorites ever, 00:52:40.699 --> 00:52:45.239 versus Kareem Arce. I was hoping that... I am 00:52:45.239 --> 00:52:47.960 picturing this being just a train wreck for... 00:52:47.960 --> 00:52:51.860 I was hoping it would be more, just because Estrada's 00:52:51.860 --> 00:52:54.860 moving up to 118, and he was already pretty small 00:52:54.860 --> 00:52:59.380 at 115. So just more and more of a weight disadvantage. 00:53:02.699 --> 00:53:05.719 Honestly, I think Estrada needs to retire soon. 00:53:06.019 --> 00:53:10.480 He's out that time. Yeah. He's 35. He's small. 00:53:12.019 --> 00:53:16.280 I love him, but I don't want him to stick around 00:53:16.280 --> 00:53:22.239 way too long. 49th fight. That's a lot of mileage. 00:53:23.539 --> 00:53:28.119 Well, what in the boxing laundry? In the boxing 00:53:28.119 --> 00:53:35.320 laundry... Hamper. Hamper, okay. I'll always 00:53:35.320 --> 00:53:41.800 say the same. Hamper. But he's like a nice shirt 00:53:41.800 --> 00:53:46.340 that you can't wear once it's too washed. I don't 00:53:46.340 --> 00:53:48.079 know. I just don't want to see Estrada stick 00:53:48.079 --> 00:53:50.639 around too long. I want to remember him being 00:53:50.639 --> 00:53:55.389 amazing. You knocked out Bam. That was his last... 00:53:55.389 --> 00:53:59.570 That is an accolade. It really is. First knockdown 00:53:59.570 --> 00:54:06.349 on Bam. Yeah, I just... I'm more cautious with 00:54:06.349 --> 00:54:09.489 the guys I really like. I want Estrada to leave 00:54:09.489 --> 00:54:11.929 before he has that one fight where everyone's 00:54:11.929 --> 00:54:15.750 like, what the fuck? I don't want him to be like 00:54:15.750 --> 00:54:18.309 Pacquiao. Well, you never know. He could win 00:54:18.309 --> 00:54:22.940 again. He could. You never know. Speaking of 00:54:22.940 --> 00:54:26.719 sticking around too long, Samson in Buenos Aires. 00:54:28.179 --> 00:54:31.099 Donito Donair versus Andres Campos. You might 00:54:31.099 --> 00:54:34.579 remember Campos when he fought Sonny Edwards 00:54:34.579 --> 00:54:38.760 in a really lackluster, one -sided performance. 00:54:40.139 --> 00:54:43.619 So I'm thinking Donair's probably going to knock 00:54:43.619 --> 00:54:47.780 his ass out. That might be why he's there. Because 00:54:47.780 --> 00:54:53.760 Donair, if he... How long has he been out? Let 00:54:53.760 --> 00:54:57.980 me pull up his box right here. His last fight 00:54:57.980 --> 00:55:03.960 was in July 2023. So almost two years. Okay, 00:55:04.019 --> 00:55:07.619 never mind. I'm not sure what to make of this. 00:55:08.500 --> 00:55:14.079 I'm going for Campos now. Yeah, Donair is definitely 00:55:14.079 --> 00:55:16.900 one of those guys that has stuck around too long. 00:55:17.659 --> 00:55:21.719 I really like Nonito Donair, but... He should 00:55:21.719 --> 00:55:26.320 have quit a while ago. And he can still win fights, 00:55:26.559 --> 00:55:31.500 but he's not going to be great again. And they're 00:55:31.500 --> 00:55:36.019 still chasing the dragon. Yeah. I want him to 00:55:36.019 --> 00:55:40.179 retire and... With dignity? Go hang out with 00:55:40.179 --> 00:55:43.059 his wife. I don't know. Maybe that's why he's 00:55:43.059 --> 00:55:46.579 fighting. Get away from her? The only 36 minutes 00:55:46.579 --> 00:55:51.750 that he has of respite. Last thing. Before we 00:55:51.750 --> 00:55:57.909 skedaddle on this one. Matchroom at the MSG Theater. 00:55:59.789 --> 00:56:05.289 I have only two on here that I care about, and 00:56:05.289 --> 00:56:10.650 I picked up four. Ernesto Mercado versus Jonathan 00:56:10.650 --> 00:56:21.139 Montrell. It is a fight. Yeah, I don't... have 00:56:21.139 --> 00:56:27.300 any opinion on this one. Alexis Barrier versus 00:56:27.300 --> 00:56:33.940 Ronnie Hines. I don't have an opinion on that 00:56:33.940 --> 00:56:40.079 one either. Barrier is Canadian, so I guess I'll 00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:42.460 cheer for him. And he's fighting an American. 00:56:44.059 --> 00:56:46.199 So I guess I'll cheer for the Canadian, even 00:56:46.199 --> 00:56:51.949 if he is French. That is double cheer. Wow. The 00:56:51.949 --> 00:56:54.369 French subtracts one, so it's just normal amounts. 00:56:58.170 --> 00:57:05.510 Andy Cruz versus Hironori Mishiro. Twelve round 00:57:05.510 --> 00:57:09.829 fight. Alright. Is that a first? I think so. 00:57:11.090 --> 00:57:16.030 I think it is. Let me make sure. I kind of get 00:57:16.030 --> 00:57:20.989 the feeling that Mishiro's just coming in to 00:57:20.989 --> 00:57:24.769 lose or he's being brought in so he'll lose is 00:57:24.769 --> 00:57:27.349 what I should say. I'm sure he'll try his best. 00:57:27.869 --> 00:57:31.090 They always do that. Yeah, I'm just saying. I 00:57:31.090 --> 00:57:35.590 don't think he's really a big threat to Andy 00:57:35.590 --> 00:57:40.489 Cruz. Well, we'll see what happens with that. 00:57:41.730 --> 00:57:50.139 This is his first 12 rounder. And IBF super lightweight 00:57:50.139 --> 00:57:54.539 champion Richardson Hitchens versus third rated 00:57:54.539 --> 00:58:03.280 George Kambosos. He's still doing it. How? Why? 00:58:04.619 --> 00:58:09.960 Make it stop. Some way he's still doing it. I 00:58:09.960 --> 00:58:14.619 do not care about this fight at all. I'm watching 00:58:14.619 --> 00:58:18.019 it. I am watching it. Didn't say I wouldn't watch 00:58:18.019 --> 00:58:21.300 it. I said I don't care. I would another way. 00:58:21.920 --> 00:58:27.199 It's gonna be boring. Isn't it? Yeah, I think 00:58:27.199 --> 00:58:30.840 so. Hitchens does not lend himself to exciting 00:58:30.840 --> 00:58:34.480 fights. Cambosos talks a lot of shit that's usually 00:58:34.480 --> 00:58:39.659 pretty cringey. And he doesn't back it up very 00:58:39.659 --> 00:58:44.820 well. So, what are we doing here, guys? Right, 00:58:44.940 --> 00:58:49.360 do I want... Like, I want Richardson Hitchens 00:58:49.360 --> 00:58:52.679 to lose, but I don't want George Kambosos to 00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:57.019 win. I do want George Kambosos to win, actually. 00:58:58.380 --> 00:59:03.099 Why? Just to stick it to the man. To trigger 00:59:03.099 --> 00:59:11.309 the lips. What man? Kambosos. It would be more 00:59:11.309 --> 00:59:14.710 funny if Kambosos won. It would actually be pretty 00:59:14.710 --> 00:59:17.409 fucking hilarious if he won. So I'm going to 00:59:17.409 --> 00:59:21.489 go with that. It's not a good reason to pick 00:59:21.489 --> 00:59:24.610 someone to win. I would very much not be upset 00:59:24.610 --> 00:59:30.969 if George Kambosos lost. I don't know. I think 00:59:30.969 --> 00:59:32.429 he's going to lose, but I'm going to be rooting 00:59:32.429 --> 00:59:36.300 for him. Yeah. Richard in itches is not a fun 00:59:36.300 --> 00:59:40.039 fighter. He is not. Let's just keep the fucking 00:59:40.039 --> 00:59:45.480 the funny train going. Yeah, fuck yeah. Win a 00:59:45.480 --> 00:59:49.119 title at another division. Why not? Why don't 00:59:49.119 --> 00:59:51.480 you just go ahead and become undisputed at this 00:59:51.480 --> 00:59:54.460 division and then move up and win another title. 00:59:55.360 --> 00:59:58.219 I guess Tiofimo rematch. I was just going to 00:59:58.219 --> 01:00:01.139 say Kambosis wins another belt and we have the 01:00:01.139 --> 01:00:08.389 third Lopez fight. It would have to be a third 01:00:08.389 --> 01:00:12.110 Haney fight. But second... He only fought Lopez. 01:00:12.670 --> 01:00:17.909 He only fought Tio Fimo once. Oh, he didn't rematch 01:00:17.909 --> 01:00:23.210 Tio Fimo? Tio Fimo ducked him. What a fucking 01:00:23.210 --> 01:00:26.210 loser. Then yeah, I want Cambosis to win a belt 01:00:26.210 --> 01:00:29.949 and I want the Tio rematch. Oh, that would be... 01:00:29.949 --> 01:00:34.489 Make it so. And you know what? Then you have 01:00:34.489 --> 01:00:39.130 Alberto Pueo unify with Gary Antoine Russell, 01:00:39.230 --> 01:00:42.090 and the winner of that fight is going to fight 01:00:42.090 --> 01:00:46.929 the winner of Teofimo and George Gambosos. Yeah, 01:00:47.010 --> 01:00:49.349 let's do it. And only then will we have an undisputed 01:00:49.349 --> 01:00:54.030 fighter at 140 once again. George Gambosos Jr. 01:00:55.329 --> 01:00:58.030 You know what? I do want George Gambosos to win. 01:00:58.489 --> 01:01:02.050 Yeah. I've talked myself into wanting Gambosos 01:01:02.050 --> 01:01:05.739 to win. Fuck, I gotta cheer for him now. Is this 01:01:05.739 --> 01:01:08.079 boxing brain rot at its finest? Yes, absolutely. 01:01:08.579 --> 01:01:12.420 That is absolutely what this is. Do it for the 01:01:12.420 --> 01:01:16.380 memes, Cambo. The memes. That's why we're... 01:01:16.380 --> 01:01:21.820 Yeah, that's really what I'm here for. Richard 01:01:21.820 --> 01:01:24.599 Hitchens fought Liam Parrow last, right? That's 01:01:24.599 --> 01:01:28.440 what we got the title? Yeah. So, Liam Parrow 01:01:28.440 --> 01:01:32.940 fought Matias. Matias fought... I don't even 01:01:32.940 --> 01:01:37.019 know who we got it from. I forgot. I have no 01:01:37.019 --> 01:01:39.360 idea. Honestly, honestly, dude, there's a... 01:01:39.360 --> 01:01:43.420 That bell is cursed. I think it... I mean, Ken 01:01:43.420 --> 01:01:45.079 Moses has a good shot. Just because that bell 01:01:45.079 --> 01:01:49.159 is so cursed. You got it from Jeremias Ponce. 01:01:50.239 --> 01:01:53.860 Yeah. 2023. Don't know who that is. It's a vacant. 01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:56.519 That was the same night as David Benavidez in 01:01:56.519 --> 01:02:01.380 Andrade, right? I do not have that kind of memory, 01:02:01.539 --> 01:02:05.059 guys. I'm being silly. It doesn't even matter. 01:02:05.260 --> 01:02:08.719 No, he was the headline. The brain and eyes consumed 01:02:08.719 --> 01:02:11.619 me. No, I'm saying it was the same night. Oh, 01:02:11.619 --> 01:02:17.019 the same night. Anything more for Kambosis? No. 01:02:17.019 --> 01:02:22.019 As we cheer him on to victory. Goddamn. Alright. 01:02:23.219 --> 01:02:29.670 Let me make another noise.
