This shit ain't nothing to me, man. This is Boxing
Before Dark. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Back. Back.
Back. Back. Back. Before. Before. Before. Before.
Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing Before Dark. This
is Boxing Before Dark. Alright. Fucking Boxing
Before Dark. back up in your ears. Joined by
Shanada and Lynn once again. Shanada, you're
all over the fucking Lux Media I don't know,
radar at the moment. Yeah, I got the 10 top 10
lists started to celebrate our 100 episodes.
I'm excited. I also got, I figured out one that
I want to do, but I can't do it because it's
packed up at the moment. But I was going to look
through all of my press passes and say, like,
my top ten of all the shows I've been to. Oh,
yeah, that's a good one. Well, if we release
two a week, you have five weeks, so. Yeah. Like,
one here on Before Dark and one on B -Sides every
week, theoretically. I think that'll work. Hopefully.
Anyways, the first one's a YouTube playlist.
So when Leo gets it up, you can check it out
on the YouTube channel. Oh, Lin, how are the
playoffs going? Well, as of last night, at the
time of recording, we blew a 3 -0 series lead,
another series is tied at two, and we're going
back to Edmonton, so that's great. Ah, yeah.
Fucking awesome is what it is. No, it's not awesome.
It's only awesome if you're Canadian or something.
Or you just don't like Brad Marchand. It's just
funny because I follow online communities and
after the game you just see everyone hates the
Pampers and it's just funny. I mean, you shouldn't
have hockey in Florida, and why are they in the
Northeast Division? What? The Northeast Division
hasn't existed for God knows how long. Well,
whatever they call the Northeast Division now.
Sure. They're in the same division as Toronto.
Yeah, the Atlantic. Is that what it is now, the
Atlantic Division? Yeah. You've got the Atlantic
and metropolitan out east. And then in the west,
you've got the Pacific and central. Where's Utah?
Utah is in the central. Central. Yeah. They didn't
move them. They're in the same conference they've
always been in. Oh, okay. I see. That's why Florida's
in the northeast, too. That's why they renamed
the conferences so they didn't have to move Florida.
It's all stupid. I don't get it, but it's alright.
Oh, shit. Is there any news that's come up? Because
I didn't check. There's one piece of news I'm
avoiding. what piece of news would that be that
would be the recent announcement that the WBO
I think this came out like a day or two I think
this was like literally yesterday obviously we
had the whole Kishon thing now apparently the
WBO is going to order Sam Noakes the Abdullah
Mesa for the belt which I am avoiding and I am
pretending if it's not real it doesn't exist
so I'm going to swiftly ignore that Yeah, I have
not heard any news, I don't think. They had the
robot kickboxing world championship recently.
I don't know if you covered that on Ultimate
Fucking Casual, but it's hilarious. That does
sound pretty fun. Yeah, you should check it out.
You have to build humanoid robots, and then they
have a kickboxing fight. And it's a lot of robots
just falling over and getting counted out. Jerron
Ennis is moving up. Oh. Up to 147? 154. 154.
Yep. Who's at 154 right now? Uh, names? Fonora,
Tim Zhu. Josh Kelly? Does that count? That doesn't
count. Kind of. I think it kind of counts. Who
even is? Like... Keith Thurman? Yeah, well, we've
definitely got names of that weight class. But,
very employee. Hold on a second, I want to pull
up. Boots can probably hang with any of those
guys, I think. Terrence Crawford, Mortis Aliev,
the guy who beat Tim Zu, Virgil Ortiz. Xander
Zayas, Madrimov, Bohachuk, Fundora, Jesus Ramos.
There's a lot of Eastern European guys I'm seeing.
Luis Malima. So then who's at 147? Who's at 47?
Oh, okay. Yeah, I was just mixing up weight classes
like I always do. Rolly Romero's at 147. Yeah.
So, did Rolly get elevated to a full belt? If
Gerard's moving up? Once it's formal, then yes.
Probably will be. Nice. Two -time world champion.
Rolly is a fucking welterweight champion right
now. But he will be. You can't tell me I'm wrong.
No, he'll be an email champ. It's fucking stupid,
but own it, I guess. We love email champions.
Walter Waite's got that fight in Ota City this
week, right? That's right. It's on a Thursday,
so I didn't buy a ticket because it's just that
little bit too far away. It ruins my whole next
morning. What other news? Oscar De La Hoya's
clapback. He's talking about Reynoso and how
he's had six fighters test positive for banned
substances. That's old news. We've talked about
that here. We have. Catch up, De La Hoya. I was
going to say, Oscar's taking our talking points.
Catch up. That's kind of... Not surprising that
Oscar would point that out, but it's going to
reach a lot more people if Oscar says it than
the boxing media. Yeah, definitely. Have they
said anything about Jaime? I haven't seen anything.
No, I haven't seen anything either. Yeah, I haven't
either. About his B -simple. Yeah, on that, I...
Probably just guess there's a bunch of underground
stuff going on right now. Speaking of not hearing
anything, I haven't heard any updates on Shigeoka.
I'm going to take it as no news is good news.
If he was taking a turn for the worse, I think
we would have heard about it. At this point.
Oh, actually, there is an update on the sporting
news. So this went up June 4th. So Yudai, his
brother, described his current state, saying,
starting today, Jinjiro's eyes are half open
because they've reduced his painkillers. He means
anesthesia. And when I talked to him, he started
chewing and yawning, and it felt like he could
hear me. He was also blinking. I think things
will probably start to become a little more clear
from now on, and he will likely be transferred
from the ICU to general care soon. So, that sounds
reasonably good. Yeah, not out of the woods,
but doing better. Yeah, they don't know. They
don't know how much damage there is. Well, let's...
Go on. No, I was going to say, let's hit the
recaps. Yeah, that's exactly what I was going
to say. Look at that. First one, June 6th. Wasserman.
Yes. This... Yeah. This... So, Josh... Obviously,
we had Josh Caddy versus Flavius B. not much
to discuss on the undercard, because the fights,
well, I didn't watch them, because it was, like,
lower -level stuff, and there wasn't anyone I'd
know. I went to Carpool, though. Um, Josh Kelly
had also kind of been on the smoke. Like, I've
seen him a lot calling out, like, Conor Benn.
Like, firstly, you're not going to go Conor Benn
fight. Just stop. Um, and then, yeah. So, this
fight ended in a first -round stoppage win for
Josh Kelly. Um, If I recall correctly, Bia kind
of got dropped early, and then he kind of got
up, but he got up at like nine and a half and
got counted out. So it was kind of weird. Kelly
wins a pointless fight in about two minutes.
I'm pretty sure Nessay on Twitter passed something
out towards calling out Mokhtar's vehicle or
something like that, if I recall correctly. i
want to check that but i know for a fact that
he said like caddy should fight someone fight
for a title sounds like yeah i gotta check the
twitter because i swear i saw that yeah bakram
holds the ibf right now so yeah i'm pretty sure
that's what got tweeted but maybe i'm just losing
i don't know no i don't think so that sounds
like something that would happen after a really
flashy kind of win like yeah this was it uh so
they yeah so the cali and this a sarah land twitter
account which is banned by them but no one in
the uk wants a piece of josh kelly gonna go get
a strap at background 95 fancy it oh i've just
seen here background actually just was replied
to that saying too easy so i mean he's not wrong
Josh Kelly is ranked number four in the IBF though.
He hasn't done anything. His best win is a short
-notice Ishmael Davies. Go ask any American who
that is and they probably won't know. No. He's
also number four at the WBO. Somebody's paying
to get him ranked. I mean, sure. We already saw
what happens when he steps up against Amadeusian.
When was that, the Avanisian fight? Oh, God,
that was, I mean, that was years ago now, but
he hasn't, I can bring up exact dates, but he
hasn't exactly done much since, it was 2021,
he got stopped in six rounds, and since then,
his only real, like, his best win is literally,
a short notice, Ishmael Davies. 2021, that's,
Avanisian was, past his better days at that point.
Yep. Oh well. But yeah, Kelly won. Undercard,
there wasn't much. Very standard Channel 5 card
in that regard. So we'll see what Kelly does.
He'll probably fight some nobody again in about
six months. We'll see. He should be more active.
If he's going to be fighting fucking nobodies,
then he should be doing it a bit more often.
I mean, this was his first fight since the Davis
one, so... We'll see. Sad. Sad times. Aight.
It's Britbox. Yeah. You know, speaking of sad,
Salida on DAZN. Brandon Moore gets the doctor's
decision. Technical decision, I think Stanley
Wright didn't want to continue. My man was on
life support pretty much towards the end there,
so I guess that's how it goes sometimes. Stanley
Wright already has his next fight listed on BoxRec.
He's a journeyman. Yeah, but it's for June 26th.
That's like two weeks. Nice turnaround. So perhaps
he just didn't want to take too much punishment
because he has his next fight in... I don't know
what country that is. That is the Democratic
Republic of the Congo and it's also June 2026.
Oh, I am reading that wrong. I did not expect
it to be a year from now. Never mind. Yeah, I
don't know what this card's about, but I've seen
some people get added to it, so I don't know.
But yeah. Never mind. That is me being unable
to read, I guess. Yeah, it's scheduled for a
year from now. There must be like a festival
or something. Maybe. Yeah, I honestly just didn't
read the year because I didn't expect it to be
that far in the future. I wouldn't either. But
that's it for that. Matchroom on DAZN. Jai Opataya
gets the fucking stoppage in five. Squeo did
not seem too interested in being there. He didn't
seem like he belonged there. Did you hear what...
happen, though. Like, Squeo broke his jaw. Yeah.
It snapped. He had to go get surgery. Squeo's
jaw broke? Yeah, yeah. Joe Opataya broke Squeo's
jaw. So, whether he seemed very interested in
being there or not, I think it was a good call
to stop. Yes. Knowing that. I had heard that
it was a... It was possibly broken, but I didn't
hear if it actually was. No, it was. Yeah. But...
Squeal looked like a... Like, discount Canelo.
He just didn't look like he belonged in the ring
with Obitai at all. No. He was too short, and
too slow, and... I mean, we kind of thought that's
what it would be, but... Yeah, like... Oh my
god, Oputai wins a one -sided fight and gets
a stoppage against a dude like everyone was saying
he was going to stop in what was literally one
of the worst mismatches we've ever seen. I am
so utterly shocked that that is exactly how the
fight went. Yeah. I think that kind of... That's
a nice little bow to put on it. Oputai needs
to start... fighting real competition. Thank
you. I keep saying this. Like, I'm sorry that
I'm not impressed by a dude who, outside of beating
Breeders twice, his best win is, like, Jack Massey,
who's, like, not even, like, a top three cruiserweight
in the UK at the time that they fought, because
you had... Actually, well, I guess Akoni didn't
want to go up to bridgeweight and heavyweight
at that point. But, like, he wasn't even the
best cruiserweight in the UK. But sure. Yeah,
I just... Cruiser sucks anyways, but knocking
over cans, especially such obvious cans, is not
gonna get you any fans. Like... I mean, at least
Zerto's fighting a dude like Dauticus, who I
guess has shown some level of ability at some
point in his career. Like, 99 .9 % of boxing
fans have never even seen Skiobox, let alone
know if he's good. I didn't know he existed.
He never fought outside of Italy. How would you
know he existed? Yep. He also came into this
fight... Yeah, I mean... I guess. Gio came into
this fight at 191, so maybe he should try and
move down to light heavyweight, I don't know.
Probably it was the light heavyweight that got
dragged up. I mean, he's a 5 '10 cruise away.
He's only back in Las Vegas. He didn't look dumpy
or anything. He looked like he was in shape.
Yeah. I think he just doesn't do a cut at all.
Didn't need to. No, but I just mean, I think
he likes not cutting and fighting in Italy. I
think that's kind of a little more time than
Jai Dopataya deserves for a fight of this caliber.
Yeah. He needs to fight Zerto. That's really
all there is. It's the only thing anyone wants
to see. Maybe Badu Jack rests in peace because
he's gonna die in that one. We say that every
time and somehow Badu Jack gets an ugly close
decision win. Every fucking time. Imagine Badu
Jack decisions try off a tire. I could see it.
Absolute scenes. I would actually like that.
All right. Moving to Queensberry. Ah, yes. I
would like for you to prognosticate first, Lynn.
Yes. Because we were on opposing sides of this.
And this played out in a very interesting way.
So I'd like for you to kick it off. So, basically...
Now, when I said Wardley would knock out Huni,
I never said he'd look good doing it. I just
said he'd knock him out. Fair enough. This fight
was, like, very interesting. So, like... What
basically happened is Farrier -Waldi decided
that he was going to turn into Deontay Wilder
and just, like, literally get outboxed for 10
rounds straight and then just decided to vaguely
knock the guy out. I mean, it's very simple.
Like, Eustace Hooney actually very much impressed
me in this fight. Like, I legitimately feel like
if Eustace Hooney wasn't Eustace Hooney and actually
had any sort of power, he probably would have
stopped Waldi in the first half of this fight
because he was literally just beating him up,
like, the entire fight. But, like, Fabio Wolsey's
got power and it was in the UK, so somehow he
gets the salvage. I literally turned this fight
off after eight rounds because I was like, oh,
it's done. Who's going to win? And I was pissed
off because I was annoyed at Ben Davison, which
is a usual event in boxing. And then I saw a
chat going off, so I brought the stream back
up and that's when I saw that he got the salvage.
So I was like, how the fuck has he done that?
It was a nice punch. It was a really nice setup.
Yeah. Yeah, he came over the top with the right
hand. It is something they were training in camp.
Like, there's footage of them training that exact
punch. It wasn't entirely a fluke. They were
training for the other 10 rounds of the fight,
but yeah. They were training to land that punch.
It's not a good strategy, but it's a strategy
people employ. Yes, the Deontay Wilder strategy.
Just train a big right hand and you'll be successful
if you have sufficient power. They did work on
his defense as in, this is how you take a punch
and stay in range. Like, to try and limit how
much shit Wardley actually had to eat. But Wardley
has a chin. And he was relying on that. That
was half his fucking strap. The only thing I'll
say, yes, he has a good chin, but this is also
Yusuf Suni, who never was a massive puncher at
heavyweight anyway. So, I don't know how much
you can really say about his chin based off the
fact that he took shots of Yusuf Suni. No, I
just mean historically. Yeah. Bobby Awardlee
has a good chin. Oh, yeah. But, I mean, will
he still have a good chin when he goes up? for
the levels, and he fights fighting guys who have
more power and a better ability to deliver that
power, we'll see. No, I'm just saying, in this
fight, part of their strategy was lean on the
fact that he has enough chin to take Justice
Huni's punches. And then wait for the timing
on that one big right hand. It's a stupid strategy,
but it worked. We'll see if it continues to work
out for him. We'll see if that continues to happen,
but if it's stupid, but it works, then it's not
stupid. That's one of the... That's an old adage
I got from my military years. Yeah. For, like,
jerry -rigging stuff, but I don't know. In a
fight, you can win and still lose. But... It
was exciting. It was fun. I liked it. But I don't
really care about either of these fighters. I
wonder if Fabio Wardley continued the way he
did because he wasn't too concerned. And that's
why his defense was so fucking leaky. I think
his defense is always going to be leaky. I found
it really funny when I saw five people saying,
oh my god, Wardley got exposed. And it's like,
did you watch part one? Like, if you watch Clock
1, you'd know for a fact that Wardley didn't
have a good defense, and he probably was never
going to have a good defense. Like, I'm pretty
sure Clock busted up his nose with the jab after
about three rounds in that fight. That was disgusting.
Wardley's nose just disappeared throughout that
fight. If you want to go watch the definition
of a heavyweight slugfest, go look up Clock vs.
Wardley 1. Yeah, that was clobberfest. Yeah,
for sure. Yeah. Let's keep it moving here. Boxer
on Sky Sports. Yes. Now, I haven't actually watched
this card back. I need to at some point. I can't
have been doing stuff. I do know that the Simpsons
fight... Well, I do know that this card, it's
basically Sky Boxer's funeral. Because after
this... I think it was a day or two after this,
it came out that Sky is not renewing their contract
with Boxer. And they're going to basically look
to take a bunch of different... They're going
to rotate what promoters they do their shows
with. So I'm not sure what happens with Boxer
now. Knowing the state of boxing, they'll somehow
end up in the zone. Yeah, I was just going to
say that. Yeah, that's how it'll go. You're going
to have to pay... a lot of money a month to watch
the rebuild of Mark Jeffers after he lost to
a dude that William Scull was able to beat and
drop, by the way. Like, ow. Like, I remember
seeing that fight, like, I was like, how the
fuck have you lost? And then they made a win.
Simpson actually got dropped twice in this fight.
So, like, I was kind of watching bits of this
before the Wadley fight came on because it was,
like, on in between. I think I managed to watch
the first two or three rounds. He got dropped
like twice, but he wasn't really that hot. Came
back, put his opponent down a couple of times
in the 10th and got it done in the 10th and won
via a technical knockout. So I had to come through
some adversity here. But I didn't watch the fight,
so I'd have to look it back to give a more comprehensive
breakdown. The Simpsons -Zumba fight was actually
really enjoyable. It was really even and competitive
throughout the entirety of it. Well, yeah, we
were saying how if Zuko's weapon isn't a complete
lie, he could have some issues with it. I mean,
he came and dropped him twice, so I mean, you
can't ask for much more, really. The first knockdown
was a flash one, for sure. Yeah, he didn't look
at all from that, like a couple of seconds in.
Yeah, he was just, I think, some jitters about
the gravity of the moment. But he rallied back
perfectly. Even to get knocked down again, he
still was able to keep it going, keep the momentum
building. It was really nice from Simpson. But
now if you're at 168 and you're looking at this
fight and you're going, oh, well, Zuko can drop
this guy twice. What can I do to him? So we'll
see what they, well, well, firstly, before anything,
we've got to figure out what the hell Boxer's
doing. Because they're not going to be on Sky
anymore. So not entirely. Like, I mean, they're
only a real option. I can see in the UK would
be they either go to TNT to replace the spot
that Queensbury left, but I don't know if TNT
is still doing boxing after that, or they end
up on DAZN somehow. So we'll see. I wouldn't
be upset if they ended up on DAZN, just because
I keep track of the boxer cards all the time
for B -sides and now for here. So if it's somewhere
that's accessible, that would be nice. Yeah.
I don't know. We'll see. yeah they also i think
they showed like their accounts and like they
they took a lot of losses when it comes to like
their financial statements as well like they're
they're like incarnate like what with origins
and shit that was hacked so we'll see what happens
um yeah if it if it goes downhill for boxer just
keep an eye on the likes of an anima team of
what he ends up doing over the next month or
two because he's like one of their biggest stars
i wouldn't be entirely shocked if they can't
get, like, a TV thing sorted out, like, there's
only, like, some of their bigger names, like,
go elsewhere, like, match, you know, Queensway.
They'd have to work on their matchmaking, but
maybe they could join Probox. Um. I'm not even
joking. No, because Probox does have a UK arm.
Do they? Yeah, they work with, um, what's his
name, in Ireland. Yeah. Conlon Promo. But boxer
cards are usually too one -sided. Like, they
want them to change the matchmaking to match
pro boxers. Yeah, I mean, this card, like, Seltzer
had a tough fight and Jeff has lost, but, like,
they were both massive favours coming in. Like,
Jeff was losing as literally a massive officer.
He was basically just taking this fight, waiting
for the Simpson fight, because that's what they
were talking about. And now that he lost, it
kind of fucked it up. Next. Okay, from the UK,
we are off to top rank on ESPN. Obviously, Keyshawn
kind of did a fuck -up, but we still had Mason,
so that was... Before we get to the Keyshawn
drama, I want to go through what... The rest
of the card. Keon Davis got a dub over Michael
Velez. Who is that? They're both 3 -0 at coming
into it, so whatever. They're still developing.
Troy Isley. UD over Attundi. Michelle William.
William in the singular. Has a surname. That's
fun. I don't know why. I just thought that was
funny. I found that funny when I was watching
it. Troy Isley. The reach. Attundi had a fucking
massive reach advantage. And Troy Isley struggled
with it. In the first half of the fight. So he
kind of looked like ass. But I still believe.
I'm still on the. What does he call himself?
The transformer? Yeah. Fucking Autobots, roll
out, baby. I'm still with you, Troy. Does he
walk out to the 80s, 90s cartoon theme? I don't
know. I don't think so. He should. That's a banger
song. Robots in disguise. Speaking of bangers,
but here, all right. Majority decision over Kelvin
Davis. Speaking of bangers, that's a little bit
of a... Foreshadowing. Nahir was better. Calvin
had no adjustments or answers for what Nahir
brought to the table. And fucking, what's his
name? Bomack. He kind of gave up on coaching
pretty early and just went straight to the motivational
talk. Which is a little weird for BOMAC. I wonder
if that means that Kelvin Davis isn't very coachable.
You know what I mean? Yeah, he's not very good.
Well, there's that too. But I was trying to be
more... Personality? Yeah. Yeah, I got you. Oh,
we know for sure that there's some personality
issues. Kelvin Davis. Kelvin Davis did not do
anything. He was not involved. I don't know.
To be fair, no, he wasn't in on any of the bullshit,
as far as I can tell. As far as we know, yeah,
Kelvin Davis was not involved. He was just the
catalyst. Abdullah Mason retires. Jeremiah Nakatilla.
Nakatilla. Gotta keep fucking that one up. Young
man continues to impress. Yeah, Mason looked
really good. Like we expected. I mean, yeah,
his opponent sucked. Nakatil is not the worst
opponent. This was a decent step up. But he's
not great. Let's not pretend he's something he
isn't. But it wasn't terrible. He looked very
limited in this fight. Mason just completely
destroyed him for a couple of rounds and that's
all this was. But I think part of that is just
that Mason's that good. I already said before,
Nakatiniya got stopped in two rounds by Moriteta
and Mercado. So he's not like some high -level
genius who's like a dark horse at 135. No, but
that's not what this was supposed to be. I mean,
he got a few rounds, and that was about it. It's
a systematic breakdown from Mason. Basically.
And now he's apparently going to fight Sam Notch
next, so whenever we do the podcast after that
fight, I may or may not seriously disappear.
You're not going to disappear. It'll be fine.
You'll be a bittersweet celebration of Mason.
Because I like Mason, but it's like, why does
it have to be Notch of all people that he's fighting
for a world title? Like, why? Yeah, why does
his... Why does his title ascension have to come
at the expense of Sam Noakes? Exactly. I want
them both to do well. I mean, just be happy that
Sam Noakes gets to fight for a title. Yay. I
mean, he's going to leave that fight probably
completely fucked. I don't think Mason's one
that really damages people. Is he? We'll see.
No, he's a breakdown over time. Yeah, he's more
of a schooling than a beating. Yes. Speaking...
Do we have anything else to say on this? No,
no notes. Abdullah Mason looked awesome. I am
a fucking glazer, so full disclosure there, but
no notes. Mason looked fucking awesome. I'm really
excited to see him in a title shot. Well, we
were talking about beating, so I feel like now
is a good time to segue onto the last recent
shit, which was the Nakatani and Nishida fight.
Are we not going to talk about the beating that
got put onto Nahir Albright behind the curtains?
Because that was fucking ridiculous. Yeah, we
can do that stuff. I was going to... A little
bit of the drama. Not like the Sean who saw it
or something. It was. Kion and Kishan went to
the locker room and I think it's pretty common
for guys to go to the locker room and be like
good fight like whatever sportsman like and it's
that's what Albright thought was happening so
he went out to like talk to them and be like
yeah you know sorry for beating your brother
but no hard feelings type thing. And they fucking
headbutted him. I hadn't seen the cut, but he
hit, I'm not sure which Davis brother, headbutted
him and cut his forehead open. Yeah, because
when he came on the interview, he hit that big,
like, fucking bow on his head. Yeah, he had a
big knot. And it was cut open. Looked like they
had it under control. Outside of the ring, that's
just straight up assault. And I did see that
the cops took the Davis brothers away. I haven't
heard if they've been charged with anything or
anything else, but the cops were involved and
that's just straight up illegal, like assault.
And I saw a bunch of people online being like,
Oh, Albright's such a pussy, like tattling to
the cops and you don't bring cops into a fight
and all this stuff. And I'm like, that's just
stupid. That is a stupid response. Who's been
seeing this? Because anything I've seen relating
to this is just people calling Katrina fucking
more. Yeah, that's all I have been seeing as
well. I'm not surprised to hear that there's
people that are like, oh, he's what a fucking
crybaby pulling the police into it. That headbutt
and that cut could cost him his next fight because
he has to let that heal up now. Yeah. Yeah, on
the topic of pay as well, apparently TopPine
paid him like 50%. They paid, what was his name,
Delos Santos, like 50 % of his purse for this
fight, when apparently they weren't even obligated
to. Yeah, that was really cool of them. Yeah.
Not something you'd expect from a huge... I mean,
they probably realized what a complete PR mess
this all was and just paid De Los Santos some
money because they wanted to at least kind of
come out of it looking good. I thought I had
heard that they paid him his full purse. I had
heard full purse as well, but... Yeah, I'd heard
full purse, and then it came out that they paid
like 50 % when they apparently legally didn't
even know how to pay him anything. 50 % for being
a fucking professional, I guess. It was like,
I think it was like $175 ,000 or something like
that. I don't recall the exact number. Nice day
at the office. It's not exactly doing nothing,
though. Yeah, that's why I meant he was a professional
about the fight. He was... Yeah. He showed up.
And he still has to... He still has to pay all
those people from his camp. True. Like... Yeah.
That might be why. Like, they still put in months
of work. Man, Keyshawn. I was on the hype train.
But after this... The train has derailed. No,
the train hasn't just derailed. It derailed and
then fucking flipped into the ocean. Yeah, fell
off a cliff into the fucking ocean. Yes. And
then somehow lit on fire underwater. I don't
know what Kershawn's doing. Like, I don't even
know. Like, I don't even know how, like, to be
fair, I already know for a fact he'll come back
after, like, a year out, win, like, one or two
fights, and everyone will just forget to see
what happened, but whatever. I fully, fully buy
into, um, Alex's conspiracy theory that this
is all him hanging out with Floyd Mayweather.
Oh, Floyd Mayweather getting in his head like
you're too good for this and you can blow weight
and they'll still fight you anyways. And a side
stuff. Oh, no. Yeah. Especially when he starts
talking about how the belts don't matter and
it's all about the money. That's just Floyd.
Yeah. The way we had we had discussed it was
like they might be symbolic. Once you reach a
certain level, they become symbolic. But you're
not at that level, Keyshawn. No, he needs the
belts still. You need the belts to bolster your
resume so that you can elevate to the point where
you can say, I don't give a shit what belt I'm
holding, if I'm even holding one. I've said it
before, a bunch of these guys are trying to be
Money Mayweather without ever being Pretty Boy
Floyd. Like, you can't do it. That's not how
it works. Yeah. You have to earn your bullshit.
And Khashoggi's best win was Denis Bovinchik.
Like... Not a great one. Yeah. Anyways. Anyways.
What weight class is this? 135. Okay. I was trying
to segue into something I noticed while I was
looking and it didn't work. But anyways. Kenichi
Ogawa is now ranked number 2 with the WBO at
130. He's in line for a Navarrete title shot,
which is fucking madness. I would love that.
Yeah. I wonder if they would do that in Japan.
It'd be pretty cool. I would go. Sorry, total
non -sequitur. No, perfect, because speaking
of Japan, on the 8th, Taken Promotions. I only
have two listed here. Shanada, did you have a
third that was worth paying attention to? Well,
the Riku Masuda knockout takes zero time to watch,
and it's super fun. You were watching this card,
Lin. I think it might be the first punch that
landed was the knockout punch. Something like
that. Ouch. It was crazy. The funniest part of
that fight was the dude he was fighting came
out to some dance. He looked like a sample or
something like that. And then he slept in about
a minute. It was pretty funny. So just for the
memes, that one's worth a rewatch. And then that
old debutante that I like, Tomoya Suboi, he was
on this card as well. He beat up a guy from Vietnam
for 10 rounds. I will say this one makes me wonder
if maybe he doesn't have any power. Because he
did try for the knockout about three different
times. Like he really pushed for it and the guy
just absorbed it. But it was a clean sweep, like
10 rounds to none. I think maybe one judge. gave
Van Tautran one round, I think. So, pretty dominant
performance again. And, I mean, it's his second
fight. So, his second fight's 10 rounds against
a guy who's 18 -1. And then, that's the only
two from the undercard that I think are worth
mentioning. And then we have Tenchin Nashikawa
versus Victor Santillan. Ten... Tension won on
the cards. Some question marks came up here.
He's my favorite fuckboy of all time. Fucking
hate him. I know. But what I noticed here was
Tension had it figured out pretty quickly. He
has solid ring IQ. But for how quickly he had
this figured out, for... how much he was able
to land on Santian. He did not seem to be bothering
Santian all that much. No, Santian never looked
hurt. And I do think Tenshin tried for the knockout
a couple times. Yeah, he did. And Santian cut
him. It's not like Tenshin wasn't taking any
damage. And there are also people in Japan who
hate him as much as I do because I was getting
some hate chanting going on for Victor Santillan.
Not really chanting, but like people cheering
for Santillan. And I was like, yes. It's fucking
awesome. They were nowhere close to me or I would
have went and tried to buy them a beer somewhere.
Yeah, I don't know. Tension looked like tension.
I do think once he steps up and fights anybody
who's good, he's... He's going to have trouble.
Well, I hate him. So I keep saying he's going
to lose to everyone. The lack of power is a problem.
Because Yoshiki Takei, how the fuck does he have
it? I don't know. But he has power for 118. Big
time. And Takei will land on Tenshin. Tenshin's
defense is not that good. He relies on his athleticism.
A little too much. Yeah. I don't know. I hope
they step up tension and I hope he gets knocked
the fuck out. Yeah. Let's keep it moving, though,
just so we don't get your blood pressure up too
badly. Junto Nakatani. Ryosuke Nishida. Retires.
Medically retired. What was it? They didn't say
it was because of this, but he had his shoulder
popped out. Yeah, his shoulder dislocated at
the beginning of round six. I watched it back
on the broadcast, and I think you can see when
it happens. It went back into place, mostly,
and he's using that arm, but you could see it
pop when Junto had him in a weird lock and kind
of spun him. Yeah, I remember exactly what moment
you're talking about. yeah i was like man junto
like what are you doing dude this isn't you i
i said it on the other podcast and i like junto
so i don't want to rag on him too much but i
was disappointed with how dirty he was fighting
yeah this is the first kind of tough fight he's
had in a while and he didn't react to it the
way i wanted him to there was a lot of weird
like wrestling throwing stuff and at one point
he punched nishida when his knee was down not
super hard like it wasn't super blatant but i
don't know nakatani was better like definitely
nakatani was winning but that head clash really
kind of fucked over nishida as well is that how
the eye got so shitty was from a headbutt yeah
it wasn't on the broadcast as far as i can tell
um they switched to commercials but in the arena
between rounds they announced that there was
an accidental head clash on the loudspeaker um
and then it was the next round that his eye really
started to swell shut so i think by the rules
that eye swelling shot was a accidental head
clash so i was a Little disappointed they didn't
take it to the cards and give Nakatani the win
that way and let Nishida have the moral victory
of not quitting. Because that eye was fucked.
That eye was completely closed. It's just kind
of like semantics. For the ref to say, I am calling
the fight because of that eye versus the corner
saying, this eye is too bad, we cannot continue.
Yeah, I mean, it's really not any difference,
but it makes a difference to me. No, it makes
a difference on Nishida's resume. Like, for it
to be, like, referee stops it on a bad eye swelling,
so we go to the scorecards versus TKO or, you
know, doctor stoppage. Yeah. So, I don't know.
Overall, like... Nakatani looked good, but I
do think the southpaw versus southpaw was a factor.
Like I said, it was going to be. I don't think
Nakatani is super good against southpaws. And
I think Nishida did better than people thought
he would. Overall, it was a fun fight, though.
I really enjoyed the whole night. The only thing
that was fucking stupid is that Arena doesn't
have a concession stand of any kind. It was absolutely
ridiculous. I had to go to a convenience store
to buy snacks and drinks. At this point, you
should just bet on bringing them yourself every
time you go. I still have that feeling that I'm
doing something wrong, and I don't really like
it. Because technically, I didn't check this
website, but a lot of the websites do say no
outside food and drink. They just don't enforce
it at all. Like, Ariaka Arena says no outside
food and drink, but people walk in with 7 -Eleven
bags just stuffed full of stuff. Like... So I
don't know. But yeah, I should just start bringing
at least two drinks. Because sitting there the
whole night yelling with nothing to drink is...
That's rough. And the crowd was actually pretty
loud. There was a lot of... You could tell Osaka
was in town. There was a lot of bright Hawaiian
t -shirts, a lot of dyed hair, a lot of chants.
It was fun. It was a good night. A lot of hooligans?
Hmm. I like the hooligans. I was in the Tokyo
section, though. Everyone around me was kind
of boring. And I bought a Nishida shirt. The
only person I don't have a shirt from that I
wish I did is Ioka. But when I went last time,
they sold out of my size. I could have bought
one that doesn't fit, but that's no fun. Anything

I saw the announcement of the new ad sponsor.
That's kind of fun. Yeah, it is. Actually, let
me finish off my container here. Meant to take
those before we started. What I forgot. It's
actually pretty nice. Yeah, I've never tried
mushrooms. Coming up on the 19th, we will not
have anyone in the building for this one. Brian
Norman versus Jen Sasaki. Looking down the card,
I don't see anybody that I recognize. Just the
main event. I recognize a couple names, but there's
nobody worth worrying about. Yeah. I recognize
a couple of the B -sides as people that they
bring in to fight prospects. Reiya Abe? I think
I recognize that name. Yeah. But, main event,
Brian Norman Jr. versus Jin Sasaki. I think it's
cool that Brian's going to... Japan for this
one. I think it's kind of random, but I like
it. And it'll probably get them some international
fans. I hope so. The Japanese crowd will cheer
for people that come to Japan. Like, when they
go back home. A bunch of the guys at the bar
still talk about Ola Squaga and Leo. They are
now fans of them just because they came to Japan.
Yeah. If I had to stay up or wake up at the ass
crack of dawn to catch fights, I would be really
grateful to anybody who flew over. Yeah, I think
that's a big part of it. I do think this doesn't
go well for Jin Sasaki. I don't either. But...
You know, stranger things have happened. I guess.
But yeah, I would put my money on Brian Norman
for sure. Probably by KO. I'm leaning. Moving
to Goldenboy on DAZN. This is Friday, June 20th.
I don't know who these people are. I don't recognize
anyone. I don't recognize anyone. Why is this
one here? Just because it's boxing and it's the
only card that's happening on that day. So just
if you're really fucking fiending and you need
boxing in your life, here you go. Sometimes these
golden boy ones do have bangers as well. Every
once in a while, there's a war on these prospect
cards. But usually it's one -sided knockout.
There is one guy I recognize on this card. Not
because he's good. Laval Wayne. He was the dude
that lost Vito. He was the guy that fought Vito
in Vito's debut. That's right. Took in the distance.
Yeah, he took that hot Japanese prospect on the...
Fatal Fury, City of the Wolves. Yeah, that was
on the New York card. That's the only name I
verified because of that. So let's keep it going.
Baja Boxing in Tijuana. Why is this here? Jojo
Diaz is still fighting. Oh my god. Why is he
still fighting? Yes. I just really wanted to
point him out just because he's a name that people
will recognize. He's recent enough. He's got
three losses in a row. He lost on Pro Box. Dude,
if he can't win on Pro Box, just stop. He's lost
six of his last seven. I don't know what the
point is anymore, but sure. Well, ProBox was
part of his rehab, 100%. Yeah, definitely. Getting
him on that ProBox card was part of his rehab
with the program they have there. But now, maybe
that's all this is. He's busy trying to box.
He doesn't do as many drugs. Maybe. Stops touching
14 -year -olds. Hey, she was 15, alright? No,
that's not alright. I know. Definitely not. Fucking
Jojo Diddler. Yeah. Anyways. Yeah, enough of
his fucking ass, but there you go. 360 promotions.
The only one... I recognize as Callum Walsh.
Lynn, do you know who this is? Oh, he's fighting?
Yeah. He's fighting? Oh, damn. Yeah, I've seen
that. Yeah, because I watched his last fight,
which was against some absolute bum from Scotland
that he won in a round. So I was like, okay,
he may have something. So I didn't see he was
fighting, but sure. Yep, he's pretty much it.
From this card. Yeah, Jesus Christ. It's a battle.
We're in dire straits here. I know about Jonathan
Inej because he's kind of a journeyman who goes
around and fights people. But that's the only
other name on that card. Let's go to Matchroom.
Also on the 21st. Galalia 5 versus Francisco
Rodriguez. Now. There's actually a couple of
fights on this card. Now, we have got a couple
of prospects. Pat Brown, you know, former amateur.
Well, they say he's an Olympian, but he lost
the preliminary, so I'm not entirely sure how
that counts as an Olympian, but I guess because
he technically fought for a preliminary to the
Olympics, it somehow counts. He made the team.
That's about it. And then Peter McGrail is on
this card. He was scheduled to fight Shabazz
Masood. But Masood pulled out with an injury.
So now. If you guys know the British domestic
scene. His short notice. I don't know how short
notice is. I think it's like a couple of weeks.
Is now Iona Baluta. If you know you know. This
guy has fought like. Fucking everyone it feels
like in this country. And I swear to god. The
only time he lost a fight one sidedly. Was when
he fought Dennis McCann. And then like. It was
after that fight. That McCann. was then going
to fight McGrail and then tested positive. And
I haven't heard anything like that. So you might
even put an asterisk in that fight with what
McCann was almost definitely on for that fight.
So that should be a really good test for McGrail.
Because, like, Balluma always gets in fun fights.
And I swear to God, he always comes in and does
his job well as a B -side. He beat TJ Doheny,
according to Buckrec. Yeah, I mean, you can look
at Bott's record. You can look at the days that
he's been in the ring with and what his result
against him has been. This guy is like no pushover
despite his record. Sounds good. Yeah. Conor
Walker defends his British Waterweight title
against Liam Taylor. Now, we want to discuss
Xavier Woodley just finally knocking a guy out
after getting beat up for the entire fight. This
guy basically did the same thing to Harry Scarfe.
He went down 10 -0 in that fight and then stopped
him in the 11th. Well done. Yep. He's now fighting
a dude called Liam Taylor, who I wasn't too familiar
with. He got stopped in two rounds by Amnesian
back in 2021. He was actually on a card back
in March. He was on some YouTube prelims for
a matching card to set this fight off, and he
won on points. I would expect Walker to win this
fight, but it's a British title. Anything can
happen. And then the main event is Galaria 5
versus Francisco Rodriguez Jr. Now, the first
immediate point to raise, this is a Brit versus
a Mexican. We do have to consider this going
into this fight. Because on paper, this should
be a relatively easy... I don't know how easy,
because Shannara would know more about the 115
dudes. But on paper, your fight should win this
fight. But he's also fighting a Mexican. So we'll
see how much that evens itself. I don't know
if Shanata knows much on Rodriguez Jr. And a
Mexican that's only lost to Ioka and Nakatani
in the last five years. So, I mean, he hasn't
been losing to bums. This is a hard test for
Golov. Yeah. And I also fucking hate the Yafis,
so I'm going to put money on Rodriguez. I assume
he's an underdog. I can check the British book
here I have to get the odds on this. Hang on.
Well, I don't want to. No, I know I don't want
to. I used some really sketchy thing based out
of Madagascar. My odds are going to be different
anyways. Okay, well, hang on. Well, on the UK
site, I have Kalau, your fight, two to five favorite,
Francisco Rodriguez Jr. at 11 to five. Yeah.
So he's a slight underdog, but not that crazy.
Still, I'm going to put some money on Rodriguez.
I think he's going to knock out your five. I
mean, he's Mexican, so I wouldn't say no. I mean,
if there's one weakness we have, it seems to
be the bloody Mexicans. So, sure. This is for
the WBC end to end flyweight title. I don't know
who the WBC flyweight title holder is. I think
it was Taraji. What weight class? 115? 112. It's
112. This is flyweight. Oh, is it 1 -12? Okay,
1 -12. I looked at the record and saw Rodriguez
was at 1 -15, so I thought it was at 1 -15. You
said WBO? WBC. Oh, WBC is Taraji. Well, Yafai's
the interim right now. Yeah. He picked up that,
but what he beat, sorry. On DraftKings, Galal
Yafai's minus 300, and Rodriguez is plus 230.
Nice. Yeah. Not that one. I'm going to put a
cheeseburger bet on Rodriguez. A cheeseburger,
not just a hamburger. Yeah. All the trimmings.
Avocado. No, that shit's gross. Hipster baby
food. I really don't like avocados. Guacamole
is good, but like just an avocado. Yeah. It's
tasteless. It just tastes like you put oil in
your mouth. Speaking of oil, in Newark, New Jersey,
there's oil refineries there. It's a long -ass
card, and fucking nobody on it is really noteworthy.
Brandon Lee is on it. There's really nobody,
but there's Brandon Lee. which is excellent.
I'm really happy to see him fighting still. There's
a heavyweight fight at the top. Yeah, I don't
care about that. Jahai Tucker is one of top -ranked
prospects at middleweight versus Lorenzo Simpson.
Yeah, I was going to say Damian Neeper I recognize.
Because, yeah, I looked it up, I thought it was
this. He's trained by the same dude who trains
Zhang. So... We'll see how he looks. Yeah, because
I remember I thought I saw before, like, Zhang
had mentioned he would, like, there was some
mention. But yeah, same camp. No idea who he
is in terms of a boxer, but hey, I guess we get
an opportunity to find out. Well, and that's...
polish versus polish so i'm kind of just expecting
a heavyweight slugfest to be honest i do not
expect either of these guys to know how to box
well i just looked at his opponent's box work
his last fight was in september 2022 and it was
a split decision draw against a past his prime
camille sokolowski so we will see what we're
in for with this fight Yeah. I'm just expecting
zero boxing and just fucking haymakers from both
of these guys. I mean, that's usually how low
-level heavyweight goes, yes. And then they gas
out. Also, like, two rounds, so the rest of the
fight is just a hog fight. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty
much. Anyways, two giant Polish guys fighting,
so I'll feel like I'm back at home and there's
a bar fight. Be great. Also, yeah, we got Malnicki
on this card. He's fighting a Pole. The headline
is Vito Malnicki. So that's a fight. I mean,
yeah, I saw Malnicki in his last fight. I thought
he beat Coyle. That fight got more than majority
draw. He's now fighting some unnamed Polish fighter,
so we'll see. I mean, he's only 23, but he can
still improve, but we'll see. I mean, 23 in boxing
is nothing. Especially not in the big weight
classes. Yeah, he fucks it middleweight, which
is weak as is anyway, so... I have never noticed
Malnicki's nickname on BoxRec, I don't think.
Is it White Magic? White Magic. Oh. Junior Malnicki
does not deserve White Magic. That's too cool
of a nickname. I mean... Hey, maybe he'll style
his opponent. We'll see. He's fine, but that's
a cool nickname. Yeah. Well, Adam Lee is also
on this card. Yep. I'm excited. I mean, I remember
he came over to the UK for one fight with Queensboy
and he didn't look particularly special against
some Colombian no -name fighter. I don't know
what he's doing with his career, but yeah. He's
on this card. He exists. I'm happy to see him.
Yeah, I think that's about it for that card.
That's it. It's not a super good weekend. It's
not. Better last week. I would say last week
is better. Yeah. A little better. Tiny bit. About
the same? Yeah. Better, worse, or about the same?
I need to get my eyes checked. Oh. anything more
for the previews no this is kind of a sad week
yeah like in the recaps we went about an hour
and we got all this shit done in like 10 minutes
sorry leo yeah it's all right yeah it's fine
it's all good um let me see we were faster this
week yeah absolutely by a lot Let me... You've

a tiny bit of boxing. The, like, three fights
I wanna watch. Yeah, it's really just Brian Norman.
Yeah, I'll watch Brandon Lee too. And there was
a different one somewhere. No, that's it. It's
a really bad weekend. My parting words this week
are everybody should keep an eye on the LVXmedia
.net website for the top 10 lists that will be
coming out. They'll all be put in the written
part and then... I think I'm going to end up
reading them to be put up in the YouTube shorts,
maybe, unless other people want to read their
own. I'm excited about this. I think it's a fun
project. Lynn, you got anything? Not overly,
apart from the first bit, if Rodriguez beats
your fight, I think we should just start a petition
to ban all Mexicans from entering the UK. But,
yeah. I think that that has been floated before.
I know it's been discussed. Yes, I've got the
new full -on policy piece. Having a boxing license
stops you from entering the UK if you're Mexican.
Exactly. It's in the immigration papers. Exactly.
Get that sword. Well, if that's it, then that's
it for this edition of Boxing Before Dark. Go
do something else this weekend. Touch graph.
Yeah, go outside. Get fresh air in your lungs.
Alright, we're out of here. Bye.
