WEBVTT

00:00:00.860 --> 00:00:04.200
The B -Side in boxing. B -Side shit. B -Side.

00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:06.820
B -Side. And the B -Side. You got a B -Side.

00:00:06.900 --> 00:00:10.380
The B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. The B

00:00:10.380 --> 00:00:13.779
-Side thing. This is the B -Sides Boxing Podcast.

00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:22.739
Something's weird, but yeah, this is purely for

00:00:22.739 --> 00:00:25.480
the money. I mean, he's not coming back for competition

00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.690
or for like, you know. I mean, this is not going

00:00:28.690 --> 00:00:31.809
to lead into something as a continuation of his

00:00:31.809 --> 00:00:34.329
boxing career. This is purely a money fight.

00:00:35.210 --> 00:00:37.890
Hell no, yeah. But fortunately, I don't know

00:00:37.890 --> 00:00:40.829
who's going to watch it. You know? Yeah, I mean,

00:00:40.850 --> 00:00:44.409
I don't even know his opponent. It's a Saudi

00:00:44.409 --> 00:00:46.590
dude, I'm pretty sure. I have no idea who he

00:00:46.590 --> 00:00:49.189
is. But it's not found about Riyadh, though,

00:00:49.210 --> 00:00:53.450
right? I mean, I'm assuming so. I think it's

00:00:53.450 --> 00:00:56.380
going to be in Saudi, you know? I was assuming

00:00:56.380 --> 00:00:59.780
it was a Saudi thing. Yeah. But I guess we don't

00:00:59.780 --> 00:01:02.619
have, like, exact details yet. But if he's fighting

00:01:02.619 --> 00:01:05.640
a Saudi, like, fighter, I don't know. I think

00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.560
it was connected to Saudi. So I'm assuming it's

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.540
going to be over there. All right. If it's not

00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:15.439
the Saudis, it's going to be the Emiratis. Yeah.

00:01:15.620 --> 00:01:19.140
One of the two. Anthony Joshua, if you're on

00:01:19.140 --> 00:01:23.099
the undercard. Fire. Man. It's going to be weird

00:01:23.099 --> 00:01:26.280
seeing him. He's going to look horrendous. He's

00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:28.439
going to look horrendous. You never know. He

00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:31.280
could make a big comeback. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:01:32.579 --> 00:01:36.379
The last thing to go is powwow. Exactly. 13 -year

00:01:36.379 --> 00:01:40.200
ring rust. Yeah. Ricky's power is unmatched,

00:01:40.219 --> 00:01:42.540
right, guys? That's what he was known for, right?

00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:50.819
That's what he was known for. Now, I wanted to

00:01:50.819 --> 00:01:54.099
save this one. This other bit of news, we'll

00:01:54.099 --> 00:01:56.260
save it until the end. Just because that's what

00:01:56.260 --> 00:01:59.400
we're going to be talking about it anyway. So,

00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:04.500
some recaps really quickly. No limit boxing in

00:02:04.500 --> 00:02:08.319
Australia. Liam Parrow retires Jonathan Navarro

00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:13.159
in the fifth. And Liam Wilson with another fucking

00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:20.099
snoozer of a UD. Good stuff. Australian. See

00:02:20.099 --> 00:02:23.000
you later. I will say, like, Liam Parra was,

00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.419
like, clearly way better than Kambosis, though.

00:02:25.659 --> 00:02:27.219
Oh, hell yeah. Like, if they're going to get

00:02:27.219 --> 00:02:29.879
behind any Australian fighter, they need to get

00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.340
behind him. Because he is way better than Kambosis.

00:02:32.580 --> 00:02:36.919
He's a Kambolution. Fuck. Yeah. Yeah, he's way

00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:43.360
better. Way, way better. Kambolution worked.

00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:49.240
Kambolution, yeah. That's a very good one. Moving

00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:54.539
to... Eye of the Tiger on the 27th of June. This

00:02:54.539 --> 00:02:57.939
was a pretty standard Eye of the Tiger event

00:02:57.939 --> 00:03:01.740
in that it was a fuckload of one -sided whoopings.

00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:05.439
That's pretty much all there are on Eye of the

00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:11.560
Tiger events. Stephen Butler, KO4 over Jose de

00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:18.610
Jesus Macias. Butler is not very good. So it

00:03:18.610 --> 00:03:20.250
probably tells you the caliber of the opponent.

00:03:22.090 --> 00:03:27.229
Unfortunate, but that's what it is. Arslanbek

00:03:27.229 --> 00:03:32.110
Makhmudov stops Ricardo Brown in the first. Like,

00:03:32.110 --> 00:03:35.629
I guess you could call that a fight. I suppose

00:03:35.629 --> 00:03:39.750
you could call that boxing. Classic Eye of the

00:03:39.750 --> 00:03:43.030
Tiger matchmaking. Yeah, it really was. This

00:03:43.030 --> 00:03:47.550
was like dumpy fucking heavyweights. It was a

00:03:47.550 --> 00:03:51.229
cream pie card. Yeah, dude, this was bad. I mean,

00:03:51.229 --> 00:03:55.849
yeah, and even to the main. They should call

00:03:55.849 --> 00:03:58.430
it that. They should call their events the cream

00:03:58.430 --> 00:04:04.090
pie series. Yeah. That's what it is. We got to

00:04:04.090 --> 00:04:08.069
throw that in there. Christian Mbili with a cream

00:04:08.069 --> 00:04:12.050
pie and one over Maciej Sulecki. The interim

00:04:12.050 --> 00:04:18.209
WBC. 168 pound title was on the line here. Christian

00:04:18.209 --> 00:04:20.889
needs to stop being a big fish in a little pond.

00:04:22.129 --> 00:04:25.470
He's only limiting his own potential by doing

00:04:25.470 --> 00:04:31.769
this. He looked fine. He has a similar opponent

00:04:31.769 --> 00:04:34.610
to Diego Pacheco. I think he fought him in January.

00:04:35.310 --> 00:04:36.889
Diego knocked him out, but he knocked him out

00:04:36.889 --> 00:04:39.550
with a body shot in the, I think, 6th or 7th

00:04:39.550 --> 00:04:42.879
round. It took them a while to get him out of

00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:49.800
there. I remember at the time they were saying

00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.860
that it was a good stoppage because the guy's

00:04:53.860 --> 00:04:55.860
never been stopped before, but now you see Mbili

00:04:55.860 --> 00:04:57.019
knocking him out in the first. What does that

00:04:57.019 --> 00:05:02.279
tell you? Yeah. I need to see Mbili versus someone

00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:07.740
real at this point. This entire event was sort

00:05:07.740 --> 00:05:10.000
of hilarious. I don't know if you guys saw, but

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.529
whenever Selecki was walking out, as he entered

00:05:13.529 --> 00:05:16.509
the ring, he went through the middle of the ropes

00:05:16.509 --> 00:05:20.410
and his leg got caught and he slipped. And jokingly,

00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:24.670
I was talking with Robbie and I was saying, oh,

00:05:24.689 --> 00:05:25.829
he's going to get knocked out in the first round.

00:05:25.910 --> 00:05:31.610
He twisted his ankle. He's torn. But then he

00:05:31.610 --> 00:05:35.110
just immediately got flatlined in the first round.

00:05:35.189 --> 00:05:39.370
I was like, oh, man. It sort of worked out. Yeah,

00:05:39.410 --> 00:05:41.050
I mean, I need to see him really take a step

00:05:41.050 --> 00:05:45.029
up. I mean, I'm trying to think of, like, his

00:05:45.029 --> 00:05:48.949
notable fights. I mean, there's not many names

00:05:48.949 --> 00:05:52.569
that are coming up. Derevyanchenko is a notable

00:05:52.569 --> 00:05:55.850
one. Wasn't he, like, he had, like, one arm?

00:05:55.970 --> 00:05:59.449
He was, like, super injured. Yeah, he was. Yeah.

00:05:59.750 --> 00:06:04.290
He went life and death. Yeah, he needs, I don't

00:06:04.290 --> 00:06:05.910
know. I wonder what the matchmaking next will

00:06:05.910 --> 00:06:08.250
be, I mean, because he is... Like, sort of separating

00:06:08.250 --> 00:06:11.230
himself from, like, the lower tier of the division.

00:06:11.370 --> 00:06:14.189
But I wonder what his next fight will be. According

00:06:14.189 --> 00:06:17.329
to Boxer, he's number two. Yeah. I think he's

00:06:17.329 --> 00:06:20.509
going to get put on a Riyadh event soon. If there's

00:06:20.509 --> 00:06:21.829
a guy that they want to put on a Riyadh event,

00:06:21.910 --> 00:06:25.889
it's him. I mean, he has power. He has power.

00:06:26.790 --> 00:06:29.290
Yeah, he's got pretty, at least from the buy

00:06:29.290 --> 00:06:34.389
test, pretty good power. Yeah. Not bad. Not good.

00:06:35.189 --> 00:06:38.569
But we're... He's a fan -friendly fighter, you

00:06:38.569 --> 00:06:41.850
know. Yeah, I mean, the knockout was really nice

00:06:41.850 --> 00:06:44.470
here. So, I mean, that's definitely what you

00:06:44.470 --> 00:06:45.889
want to see whenever you're fighting that level

00:06:45.889 --> 00:06:50.389
of competition. Exactly. I want to see him against

00:06:50.389 --> 00:06:52.769
K .O. Plant next, if, you know, they can make

00:06:52.769 --> 00:06:58.149
that. Oh, yeah. Up and coming in Billy versus

00:06:58.149 --> 00:07:02.990
on the downturn to K .O. Plant. You know? That

00:07:02.990 --> 00:07:06.819
would be a good name. Yeah. I guess, yeah, I

00:07:06.819 --> 00:07:10.519
mean, he needs to fight someone, yeah. An easier

00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.540
fight to make probably would be Munguia. That

00:07:13.540 --> 00:07:14.660
would be hard. That would be a really good fight,

00:07:14.699 --> 00:07:17.120
actually. The thing is, like, how long is Munguia

00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.980
going to be, like, suspended for sometimes? Yeah,

00:07:20.980 --> 00:07:23.079
they haven't even decided yet, huh? Well, you

00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:26.860
could fight in Canada, right? Yeah. Isn't that,

00:07:26.899 --> 00:07:29.180
like, commission shopping? Pretty much. Or, like,

00:07:29.180 --> 00:07:31.540
there's some, like, illegality, like, with that,

00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:36.560
but... Like, Conor Benn did it. Yeah. Oh, yeah,

00:07:36.579 --> 00:07:38.300
he came to the U .S. to fight, no? Yeah, he did.

00:07:39.459 --> 00:07:44.240
Yeah. True. But, I mean, Munguia, he's with top

00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:45.620
rank now, so they could... I don't understand

00:07:45.620 --> 00:07:47.139
his eye of the tiger, but they're affiliated

00:07:47.139 --> 00:07:49.759
with top rank, so... I might see something happening

00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.500
with that. Yeah. I mean, and Billy needs to be

00:07:52.500 --> 00:07:55.500
fighting that level of competition now. I mean,

00:07:55.500 --> 00:07:57.259
he's pretty highly ranked, and he's been like

00:07:57.259 --> 00:08:00.519
that for some time. We could fight the boogeyman,

00:08:00.620 --> 00:08:03.110
but they're not going to put him... They're not

00:08:03.110 --> 00:08:04.350
going to put up with him. You guys know what

00:08:04.350 --> 00:08:08.589
I'm talking about. Oh, yeah. No. I mean, he's

00:08:08.589 --> 00:08:13.230
actually right. I think Iglesias is ranked higher

00:08:13.230 --> 00:08:16.470
in the ring. They're in the same promotion. Yeah,

00:08:16.490 --> 00:08:19.089
but I guess that means that's two of their top

00:08:19.089 --> 00:08:21.730
guys that they wouldn't want to put up against.

00:08:21.829 --> 00:08:25.329
For sure. They're so scared they won't even mention

00:08:25.329 --> 00:08:30.829
his damn name. I mean, Iglesias would ruin him,

00:08:30.910 --> 00:08:34.200
Billy. I feel like... I could make a good fight

00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:37.120
with him, yeah. I'd like to see Mbili go down

00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:44.139
to New York for the upcoming card. Berlanga and

00:08:44.139 --> 00:08:49.200
Shiraz. Ooh, that's not a bad show. Yeah, that's

00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:55.019
not a bad show. Yeah. He should be there, absolutely.

00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:58.519
He should definitely go. He's close enough. Yeah.

00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:03.840
Yeah. Like, three -hour flight. No. Well, yeah,

00:09:03.940 --> 00:09:06.240
three -hour flight. I think you're right. Might

00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:09.440
be a three -hour drive. Yeah. Montreal. Something

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.600
like that. Either way. That dude's a boxer. He

00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:19.960
got money. Yeah. I want to see him soon. Yeah,

00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:21.899
tax write -off. There you go. Yeah. He took no

00:09:21.899 --> 00:09:23.639
damage, so we could see him back pretty quickly.

00:09:24.379 --> 00:09:29.080
Oh, yeah. And in all honesty, though, like I

00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:30.500
know because they were in talks to have a Pacheco

00:09:30.500 --> 00:09:33.139
fight. Do you think that fight ever gets materialized

00:09:33.139 --> 00:09:35.080
even after this fight? Because they had the same

00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:38.460
opponent. I already know that Pacheco was watching

00:09:38.460 --> 00:09:45.220
for sure. You know? He's fighting McCombie, right?

00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:48.179
He's fighting Trevor McCombie? Yes. On the damn

00:09:48.179 --> 00:09:52.820
card? That's Trevor McCombie, though. I don't

00:09:52.820 --> 00:09:55.840
want to jinx or anything, but I'm... We'll get

00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:57.600
to it when we talk about it in the podcast. But

00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.559
I think he's going to wash Trevor McCombie, dude.

00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.200
Dude, hopefully. That would be embarrassing if

00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:10.139
he lost there. Oh, yeah. Remember that. Yeah.

00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:14.259
That's true, yeah. Well, I mean, we ourselves

00:10:14.259 --> 00:10:19.019
got to be rooting for Checo as much as we could

00:10:19.019 --> 00:10:21.559
because, you know. Oh, yeah, yeah. I know, I

00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:23.850
know. You know the circumstance of that fight,

00:10:23.909 --> 00:10:25.929
dude. It's like, it's like symbolic to us. Oh,

00:10:25.929 --> 00:10:29.669
shit. I forgot about that. Yeah, you're fucking

00:10:29.669 --> 00:10:33.370
right. God. Like, we got, we got Rupert Pacheco.

00:10:34.269 --> 00:10:37.570
Yeah, I mean, I think he, he probably will win.

00:10:37.750 --> 00:10:39.730
Like, defensively, defensively, he's looked a

00:10:39.730 --> 00:10:42.970
lot better. I mean, but like, McCombie does have

00:10:42.970 --> 00:10:44.429
power. If he doesn't have anything else, he has

00:10:44.429 --> 00:10:46.590
power. So you just need to be careful. But we'll

00:10:46.590 --> 00:10:49.370
get to that when we get to it. That's true. But

00:10:49.370 --> 00:10:51.289
yeah, if Pacheco is going to be available, I'm

00:10:51.289 --> 00:10:54.850
going to fight Pacheco. Yeah. That's a good option.

00:10:57.850 --> 00:11:03.809
Moving to... What is this? Legacy Reloaded. In

00:11:03.809 --> 00:11:09.049
Wichita, Kansas. Deontay Wilder is back. And

00:11:09.049 --> 00:11:14.049
he certainly had a fight. One of the fights ever.

00:11:17.090 --> 00:11:21.710
Did you guys buy the pay -per -view? No. I can't

00:11:21.710 --> 00:11:22.990
believe it was pay -per -view, to be honest.

00:11:23.009 --> 00:11:25.250
I can't either. It's crazy. When they told me,

00:11:25.250 --> 00:11:26.690
I thought it was a joke, but it actually was.

00:11:27.769 --> 00:11:31.350
Pay -per -view .com. Yeah, that event was, like,

00:11:31.350 --> 00:11:34.070
really wild. I remember, like, the running order

00:11:34.070 --> 00:11:35.789
was, like, hard to find, and then, like, they

00:11:35.789 --> 00:11:38.570
just kept churning out fights before Wilder,

00:11:38.610 --> 00:11:43.350
and we never knew when he was up. Somebody, one

00:11:43.350 --> 00:11:46.649
of my buddies told me that he's having more fun

00:11:46.649 --> 00:11:51.830
with them showing The mayor of Wichita? On the

00:11:51.830 --> 00:11:57.129
screen? Instead of the fight? The M. Yeah. Yeah.

00:11:58.149 --> 00:12:01.450
A random place for a fight. That's our boy Wilder,

00:12:01.450 --> 00:12:05.149
though. Yeah. He might be fighting again kind

00:12:05.149 --> 00:12:08.330
of soon. He didn't look all that great here.

00:12:08.649 --> 00:12:13.389
I don't know. I really want him to stop before

00:12:13.389 --> 00:12:16.210
he gets embarrassed. You're going to put him

00:12:16.210 --> 00:12:23.419
against Anderson, right? Oh, jeez. Finally. I

00:12:23.419 --> 00:12:26.220
thought this was going to be his last fight.

00:12:26.580 --> 00:12:27.980
I thought that's the way they were promoting

00:12:27.980 --> 00:12:32.659
it, but as soon as he won, which he won by a

00:12:32.659 --> 00:12:34.700
technical knockout in the seventh round, as soon

00:12:34.700 --> 00:12:37.379
as he won, he was talking about Anthony Joshua.

00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:40.840
I don't know. I thought this was going to be

00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:43.399
his last fight. Are we going to be serious about

00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:45.100
it? Because I actually kind of do want to...

00:12:45.100 --> 00:12:48.490
I think I think I... Make fun of me, but I think

00:12:48.490 --> 00:12:52.090
he should fight Derek Chisora. That would be

00:12:52.090 --> 00:12:58.450
funny. There's battle of the unks. Derek Chisora?

00:13:00.289 --> 00:13:03.629
Did he do something to you? Did he kick your

00:13:03.629 --> 00:13:07.149
dog or something? It's washed versus washed.

00:13:08.769 --> 00:13:10.750
Come back in a century versus come back in a

00:13:10.750 --> 00:13:15.289
century. I actually do struggle to see who would

00:13:15.289 --> 00:13:17.669
win that fight. But, like, Chisora will push

00:13:17.669 --> 00:13:20.350
Wilder, like, on the back foot. And normally

00:13:20.350 --> 00:13:23.049
he does not like that. But, I mean, I don't know.

00:13:23.090 --> 00:13:24.509
Wilder was talking about coming back and fighting.

00:13:24.610 --> 00:13:29.190
So, like, anything is possible. Anything is possible.

00:13:29.210 --> 00:13:30.529
Because, I mean, he still is, like, somewhat

00:13:30.529 --> 00:13:33.190
of a big name. Deontay Wilder just knocked out

00:13:33.190 --> 00:13:36.850
American heavyweight. All right, guys. Come on.

00:13:37.110 --> 00:13:40.879
Anthony Herndon. Yeah, I was joking about it

00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:43.259
saying that Wilder had a more recent heavyweight

00:13:43.259 --> 00:13:48.899
win than Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. I mean,

00:13:48.899 --> 00:13:53.139
yeah, I mean, he got a KO. He got one KO more

00:13:53.139 --> 00:13:59.860
than Canelo. That's true. That should at least

00:13:59.860 --> 00:14:01.559
show you that. I mean, he's on the come up right

00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:07.690
now. Come up is very loose there, but yeah. He's

00:14:07.690 --> 00:14:12.649
still riding the plateau. This is like the dip

00:14:12.649 --> 00:14:16.690
plateau. Hey, we're bomb squad truth or shit.

00:14:16.830 --> 00:14:20.970
I'm fucking riding him. I am, but I just don't

00:14:20.970 --> 00:14:22.590
want to see him get laid out again. I just do

00:14:22.590 --> 00:14:24.789
not want to see that. I don't want to see him

00:14:24.789 --> 00:14:28.029
get embarrassed. If you need to go out on a win,

00:14:28.169 --> 00:14:32.169
you got one. What else do you want? Let Jean

00:14:32.169 --> 00:14:35.440
fight. Genuinely hurt. Seeing him get done like

00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:38.440
that, it was so bad. That actually made me so

00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:39.740
sad. I was just staring at the screen for like

00:14:39.740 --> 00:14:44.620
two minutes straight. Just mentally just crying.

00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:49.019
Yeah. I mean, the dude was sad. He got done real

00:14:49.019 --> 00:14:51.480
early. At least he got the win here, though.

00:14:52.259 --> 00:14:55.379
That was the funeral of the American heavyweight.

00:14:56.059 --> 00:14:58.740
And then Yuri Anderson getting knocked out was

00:14:58.740 --> 00:15:02.649
the burial of American heavyweights. Yeah. But

00:15:02.649 --> 00:15:05.009
now we have Joshua Edwards and he's Jesus. We'll

00:15:05.009 --> 00:15:07.809
talk about it right now. He's rising again. I

00:15:07.809 --> 00:15:10.570
saw someone talking about make Wilder versus

00:15:10.570 --> 00:15:14.110
Joshua Edwards to pass the torch. That would

00:15:14.110 --> 00:15:19.570
be so bad. I mean, hey, he fights a big name

00:15:19.570 --> 00:15:28.360
and he can knock him out. There you go. Yeah,

00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.299
I just, I fear that Wilder, like, most likely

00:15:31.299 --> 00:15:36.799
gets completely slept in that fight, but... I

00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:40.360
will say, I will say, they could send Wilder

00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:43.200
to Probox, get him some tune -up fights there,

00:15:43.299 --> 00:15:48.740
right? Wilder on Probox. Hell yeah, that would

00:15:48.740 --> 00:15:51.480
be on the Probox pay -per -view, right? You have

00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:53.200
him on Probox, get a couple tune -up fights,

00:15:53.419 --> 00:15:56.299
and then put him on a real card, main event.

00:15:57.290 --> 00:15:59.730
Tell that shit it's pay -per -view. Boom. Come

00:15:59.730 --> 00:16:00.889
back to the century. That would be such a...

00:16:00.889 --> 00:16:04.750
Come back to this foreman. That would be a wild,

00:16:04.769 --> 00:16:07.470
like, turnaround. I mean, Wilder, like, in his

00:16:07.470 --> 00:16:09.909
fights with Fury, that was, like, some of the

00:16:09.909 --> 00:16:11.830
biggest boxing, or boxing in modern history,

00:16:11.950 --> 00:16:15.629
at least. And it would be such a... I would turn

00:16:15.629 --> 00:16:17.570
around and see him on pro box. I mean, we already

00:16:17.570 --> 00:16:19.730
saw him on BLK front, so it can't get much worse.

00:16:19.850 --> 00:16:21.750
That's worse than pro box. That's worse than

00:16:21.750 --> 00:16:25.120
pro box. Yeah. Who the fuck watches BLK Prime?

00:16:25.220 --> 00:16:29.320
At least we watch Provox. We have to go on...

00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.139
Provox is a good product. The Magic team is actually

00:16:32.139 --> 00:16:37.000
really pristine. Very good fights. Exactly. We

00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:39.259
watch Provox. Who the fuck watches BLK Prime?

00:16:39.899 --> 00:16:43.200
What the fuck even is BLK Prime? Like, Netflix?

00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:48.080
Yeah, I still don't understand it, really. It's

00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:50.299
like Netflix, but marketed towards the black

00:16:50.299 --> 00:16:53.789
community. It's a similar one, like some years

00:16:53.789 --> 00:16:58.429
ago, called Brown Sugar. They had a lot of black

00:16:58.429 --> 00:17:02.850
exploitation movies. What? That's like BET Plus.

00:17:03.730 --> 00:17:07.930
Yeah. I did not know about this. I did not know

00:17:07.930 --> 00:17:12.210
about this. What about Brown Sugar? Yeah, I mean,

00:17:12.230 --> 00:17:15.990
was this another boxing promotion? They had some

00:17:15.990 --> 00:17:19.690
fights on it. I don't remember who it was. That's

00:17:19.690 --> 00:17:24.289
crazy. But yeah. uh brown sugar had uh hosted

00:17:24.289 --> 00:17:27.450
a fight or two i think it was when pbc was first

00:17:27.450 --> 00:17:44.910
starting out i was like there's no way i missed

00:17:44.910 --> 00:17:53.740
this way okay Let's move on to, really quick,

00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:58.859
GBM on DAZN. Bradley Rea beats Shaquan Pitters

00:17:58.859 --> 00:18:02.440
for the EBU Light Heavyweight title. There you

00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:09.220
go. It was a fight. Did you miss anything? No.

00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:15.099
I saw that, regretfully. Yeah, I mean... He watched

00:18:15.099 --> 00:18:19.349
it. As I'm sitting there watching it... I'm like,

00:18:19.430 --> 00:18:21.710
I have a professional obligation to do this.

00:18:22.650 --> 00:18:25.549
And as the rounds went on, I'm like, oh my God,

00:18:25.609 --> 00:18:28.569
what am I watching? What am I doing with my life?

00:18:29.950 --> 00:18:39.150
But yeah, got to persevere. DAZN. Most valuable

00:18:39.150 --> 00:18:44.009
promotions at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

00:18:45.390 --> 00:18:50.539
Opening the card was Joshua Edwards. KO one over

00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:53.519
Dominic Hardy. Thank you for mentioning him.

00:18:53.640 --> 00:19:02.819
Yeah, of course. Very good. He's got three and

00:19:02.819 --> 00:19:08.019
three. He's a 100 % KO ratio undefeated. What

00:19:08.019 --> 00:19:10.619
more do you want? That KO ratio is better than

00:19:10.619 --> 00:19:15.299
Canelo, dude. That's all you want. It was a good

00:19:15.299 --> 00:19:17.359
knockout, too, by the way. A very good knockout.

00:19:18.610 --> 00:19:22.150
Yeah, that was pretty nasty, actually. What was

00:19:22.150 --> 00:19:25.849
the sequence? How did you get him? I think it

00:19:25.849 --> 00:19:29.170
was a right hand as his opponent was stepping

00:19:29.170 --> 00:19:32.670
back. I mean, he just laid him out. You sent

00:19:32.670 --> 00:19:37.430
the gif? Yeah. It was... I don't know if... I

00:19:37.430 --> 00:19:41.049
thought you rewatched everything. Not this card,

00:19:41.109 --> 00:19:43.730
because I watched it. Oh, okay, okay. Let me

00:19:43.730 --> 00:19:50.400
see. Boom. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, look at the

00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:54.579
very end as well. I was looking up at Jesus.

00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:59.200
Yeah. The leg as well got caught. Oh, that leg

00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:04.079
getting caught. I have seen this before. The

00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:07.079
leg getting caught is brutal. That'll mess up

00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:11.460
your knee. This is the second coming of American

00:20:11.460 --> 00:20:14.039
Heavyweight Boxing, guys. Correct. I'm a believer.

00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:16.740
The hype is high. The hype is high, I believe.

00:20:18.619 --> 00:20:21.500
It won't be an auto -balling situation. Yeah,

00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:23.900
like, I like Torres Jr. and all, and, like, I'm

00:20:23.900 --> 00:20:25.420
going to support him, but, like, Joshua Edwards,

00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:27.980
like, I don't know, I feel like I have, like,

00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:30.160
genuine faith he could do something. That's the

00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:34.019
real deal. Yeah. The only thing I got to say

00:20:34.019 --> 00:20:35.920
about Joshua Edwards, if he ever does listen

00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:38.500
to this podcast, I will say just keep your hands

00:20:38.500 --> 00:20:42.150
close to your, make your guard tight. Because

00:20:42.150 --> 00:20:43.230
not everybody's going to be smaller than you.

00:20:44.670 --> 00:20:47.309
Yeah, I mean, that is what will be interesting.

00:20:47.390 --> 00:20:49.230
Like, you know, his next few fights will be like

00:20:49.230 --> 00:20:52.190
upgrading or like, you know, step ups. And it's

00:20:52.190 --> 00:20:53.309
going to be real interesting whenever he starts

00:20:53.309 --> 00:20:55.809
fighting these like tight weight dudes. Yeah.

00:20:55.970 --> 00:20:59.390
You know, serious, serious power. He's got to

00:20:59.390 --> 00:21:00.809
realize that he's not going to be protected by

00:21:00.809 --> 00:21:03.250
Golden Boy for long. You know, he's going to

00:21:03.250 --> 00:21:06.670
have to step up and fight a big fella, you know?

00:21:07.589 --> 00:21:09.430
Yeah, I don't want to see him done like Anderson

00:21:09.430 --> 00:21:15.660
was. Oh. Just getting laid out like that. Hopefully

00:21:15.660 --> 00:21:19.140
he fights a couple years. He'll fight a good

00:21:19.140 --> 00:21:24.240
fighter. Step up. Yeah. How old is he? I think

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:27.539
he's like 24. He went to the Olympics. He's young.

00:21:27.940 --> 00:21:31.700
He's young. He went to the Olympics. He can build.

00:21:32.420 --> 00:21:35.839
There's no need for a massive fight. He's also

00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:39.279
a switch hitter. Yeah, dude. His boxing is clean.

00:21:39.609 --> 00:21:42.230
Like, his movement is really slick. Like, the

00:21:42.230 --> 00:21:44.910
thing is that in the amateurs, when I was watching

00:21:44.910 --> 00:21:48.349
him at the Olympics, he was good. But I could

00:21:48.349 --> 00:21:50.049
tell right there and then, like, I knew he was

00:21:50.049 --> 00:21:51.630
going to become a professional heavyweight because

00:21:51.630 --> 00:21:53.950
there was no way. I knew he was not going to

00:21:53.950 --> 00:21:58.349
win the Olympics just because of the way he fought

00:21:58.349 --> 00:21:59.970
versus, you know, the Ukrainians, the Russians.

00:22:00.029 --> 00:22:01.250
I didn't even know who won the heavyweight. Yeah,

00:22:01.369 --> 00:22:03.190
it's a different style of amateurs. It's a different

00:22:03.190 --> 00:22:07.150
style. It's practically a different sport. Yeah,

00:22:07.210 --> 00:22:10.420
completely different. So I knew he was going

00:22:10.420 --> 00:22:13.279
to work well in the heavyweight professional.

00:22:16.500 --> 00:22:21.859
We had another good knockout. Raul Curiel, KO4

00:22:21.859 --> 00:22:27.380
over Victor Rodriguez. That's a nice one. Nice

00:22:27.380 --> 00:22:31.640
one, yeah. Holly Holm gets a UD over Yolanda

00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:35.440
Ochoa. Made me look bad. I thought Holly Holm

00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:38.720
had had it. She's like in her 40s. It was getting

00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:46.039
washed over on UFC. And I thought it was it.

00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:48.640
I thought this was just like a, I don't know,

00:22:48.660 --> 00:22:50.900
Hail Mary. But nope, apparently she's still got

00:22:50.900 --> 00:22:57.160
it. Good. Yeah. Do you know who does have it?

00:22:58.380 --> 00:23:02.640
Alex, get your gloat ready. Floyd Schofield.

00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:08.950
Oh, yeah. KO1 over Tevin fucking Farmer. That

00:23:08.950 --> 00:23:13.710
was crazy. I was screaming. I was like, yeah!

00:23:14.650 --> 00:23:19.230
Yeah! Dude, I was so hyped because the amount

00:23:19.230 --> 00:23:21.069
of shit I've taken from back in Skopje these

00:23:21.069 --> 00:23:26.349
last couple months has been crazy. Leo, and you

00:23:26.349 --> 00:23:30.289
know, ever since even our first conversation

00:23:30.289 --> 00:23:33.869
we had, one of our first podcasts too, I've been

00:23:33.869 --> 00:23:36.650
kind of hyping up Floyd Skopje for a while. Now,

00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:39.039
I understand it is Tevin Farmer. The guy does

00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:41.519
a lot of losses. But you look how he fought against

00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:44.759
Zepeda, a guy that's going against Shakur, versus

00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:49.119
how Schofield dealt with him. Zepeda couldn't

00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:53.339
even hurt him in 24 rounds. Schofield knocked

00:23:53.339 --> 00:23:55.900
him out within 30 seconds. What does that tell

00:23:55.900 --> 00:24:02.579
you? Either Zepeda's washed or Schofield is the

00:24:02.579 --> 00:24:05.880
next coming, the second coming. I wouldn't say

00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:08.519
washed, but he wasn't like that big of a puncher.

00:24:09.099 --> 00:24:12.980
Not washed. What's the word? Overrated. Overrated.

00:24:12.980 --> 00:24:15.420
Yeah, overrated. I mean, I'm going to back my

00:24:15.420 --> 00:24:17.180
boys to pay no matter when. I'll go get to that

00:24:17.180 --> 00:24:21.259
later on. But the fact that Schofield did that

00:24:21.259 --> 00:24:23.319
within 30 seconds. It's pretty impressive. My

00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:27.200
God. Pretty damn impressive. Crazy. Crazy. Yeah.

00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:32.130
Demolition job. Demolition job. I think I mentioned

00:24:32.130 --> 00:24:34.309
this when we talked about it on Ultimate F and

00:24:34.309 --> 00:24:37.009
Casuals. But Alex, have you heard of the jar

00:24:37.009 --> 00:24:42.309
analogy for boxing or combat sports? What's the

00:24:42.309 --> 00:24:45.490
jar analogy? So when you're trying to open a

00:24:45.490 --> 00:24:47.869
jar and it's really difficult, you're struggling

00:24:47.869 --> 00:24:49.609
and struggling and struggling with it. You're

00:24:49.609 --> 00:24:51.569
putting a lot of effort into trying to get it

00:24:51.569 --> 00:24:55.109
open and you can't. And then you just hand it

00:24:55.109 --> 00:24:57.269
off to someone and they pop it like nothing.

00:25:00.439 --> 00:25:03.900
Tevin Farmer is the jar. William Zepeda is the

00:25:03.900 --> 00:25:06.619
one that was putting in the elbow grease. And

00:25:06.619 --> 00:25:11.400
then Floyd Schofield just pops the lid. Then

00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:13.539
the fans are saying, oh, well, I'm going to add

00:25:13.539 --> 00:25:15.380
something to this. The fans are also saying that

00:25:15.380 --> 00:25:18.119
William Zepeda also loosened the jar. You know

00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:19.420
how people say that? Yeah, exactly. I loosened

00:25:19.420 --> 00:25:22.359
the jar a little bit, you know, for you. So there's

00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:25.480
that. But I highly disagree with that statement.

00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:31.480
That was fantastic. That's fantastic. Saul has

00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:35.019
been high on Floyd Schofield for some time. We

00:25:35.019 --> 00:25:36.680
will let him have this victory. Oh, yeah. This

00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:41.140
is your day, man. You celebrate. This is like

00:25:41.140 --> 00:25:45.059
when Leo was hyping up Fulton prior to the Brandon

00:25:45.059 --> 00:25:48.539
Figueroa fight. And then he showed up. Yeah,

00:25:48.539 --> 00:25:53.559
he showed up, yeah. Or I think the Adamas win

00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:56.900
too, right? Right, guys? Right? Adamas, yeah.

00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:03.529
True. Yeah, another one. I've been getting lucky

00:26:03.529 --> 00:26:06.130
this year. I'd like to thank Al Heyman for making

00:26:06.130 --> 00:26:12.730
all this possible. Sure. Moving on. Can I say

00:26:12.730 --> 00:26:15.569
one more thing real quick? Yeah, go ahead. So

00:26:15.569 --> 00:26:18.930
now, officially, Floyd Schofield is contender.

00:26:19.349 --> 00:26:21.410
Now what? Who do you guys think you should find

00:26:21.410 --> 00:26:25.890
next? See, that's interesting. 135 is so stacked.

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:33.359
So stacked right now. Fuck, that's hard. I've

00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:35.039
got to think too because some people have moved

00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:38.680
up to 140 as well and it's hard to keep track

00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:42.099
of stuff. Keisha's not around anymore, fortunately.

00:26:42.940 --> 00:26:51.500
Yeah. I mean, remember... Body. The Canadian

00:26:51.500 --> 00:26:56.059
guy. He has power. You can do better than that,

00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:59.960
though. I think if whoever wins against Zepeda

00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:02.700
Shakur, he takes the loser. That's a good shot.

00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:08.200
So Zepeda versus Schofield. You never know. We

00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:11.220
never know. We'll talk about it later. I'll make

00:27:11.220 --> 00:27:13.339
the case. I'm going to make the case right now.

00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:16.480
I'll make the case. All right. I want to hear

00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:18.960
that. Later on. Later on. Yeah, we'll get to

00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:22.680
the Shakur. And we'll Josh Padley loose in the

00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:27.589
jar. There you go. Oh, man. What an analogy,

00:27:27.750 --> 00:27:32.910
man. That's a great pull. Fighting Josh Padley

00:27:32.910 --> 00:27:36.890
is not a bad one. Yeah, Josh Padley. If he really

00:27:36.890 --> 00:27:39.450
wants to, he could fight the next, he could do

00:27:39.450 --> 00:27:43.869
a final eliminator, right? For the WBA. A mandatory

00:27:43.869 --> 00:27:49.130
for Tank. If he wanted to. I mean, this knockout

00:27:49.130 --> 00:27:51.829
does a lot for him. Like, this is a high -profile

00:27:51.829 --> 00:27:55.859
knockout. Kevin Farmer, yeah. Especially after

00:27:55.859 --> 00:27:58.480
the Payton fight. A lot of people saw it, too.

00:27:58.779 --> 00:28:00.960
A lot of people saw that knockout. It went viral.

00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:04.059
Yeah, it does a lot for his career. Not just

00:28:04.059 --> 00:28:06.460
because of the person he knocked out, but the

00:28:06.460 --> 00:28:10.319
card he was on. Yeah, exactly. I mean, I know

00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:12.259
it wasn't as big as the Mike Tyson one. Nowhere

00:28:12.259 --> 00:28:14.799
near as big, actually. But it still got some

00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:17.140
traction, you know, from the casual fan base.

00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:19.859
Yeah. So a lot of people are going to watch LaPointe

00:28:19.859 --> 00:28:21.720
Scofield and be like, oh my god, his name's Floyd.

00:28:21.779 --> 00:28:24.250
He's like Mayweather. You know? There you go.

00:28:27.470 --> 00:28:30.390
That's what you just highlighted is one of the

00:28:30.390 --> 00:28:37.529
things that I legitimately not... Damn it, what's

00:28:37.529 --> 00:28:40.329
the fucking word? Unironically. How the hell

00:28:40.329 --> 00:28:45.430
did I not? How ironic. Unironically, I appreciate

00:28:45.430 --> 00:28:50.049
about Jake Paul is that he puts youngsters like

00:28:50.049 --> 00:28:54.029
Floyd Schofield up the bill. And, like, he sees

00:28:54.029 --> 00:28:55.890
potential in people and he gives them a shot.

00:28:57.250 --> 00:29:00.049
Yeah. Amanda Serrano, always putting her in the

00:29:00.049 --> 00:29:03.069
spotlight. We're going to be talking about her

00:29:03.069 --> 00:29:06.690
too right now, huh? Yeah, absolutely. So, moving

00:29:06.690 --> 00:29:12.750
up from Floyd Schofield. Gilberto Ramirez. UD

00:29:12.750 --> 00:29:21.369
over Yuniel Dorticos. Gross. Dorte Gross. Very...

00:29:22.109 --> 00:29:28.890
dirty fighting. Not a flashy win by any means,

00:29:29.009 --> 00:29:34.650
but it's a good win. Yeah. A lot of below -the

00:29:34.650 --> 00:29:38.289
-belt shots from Dordogos. Zubla got the win.

00:29:38.390 --> 00:29:43.710
He won decisively. No controversy. But yeah,

00:29:43.869 --> 00:29:48.390
decent win. Is that one of his better wins? Yes.

00:29:51.580 --> 00:29:53.380
I would say, yeah, probably resume -wise, yes.

00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:55.460
Performance -wise, I would say it's probably

00:29:55.460 --> 00:29:57.920
one of his most lackluster, I would say, in my

00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:00.000
opinion. Oh, yeah, it was pretty lackluster.

00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:01.819
The CBS fight was honestly probably one of his

00:30:01.819 --> 00:30:02.819
better performances. I was just going to say

00:30:02.819 --> 00:30:08.059
CBS was beautiful. Yeah, that was a perfect fight,

00:30:08.059 --> 00:30:10.819
pretty much. But, yeah, this one was sort of

00:30:10.819 --> 00:30:13.059
lackluster. But, yeah, man, we'll see what happens

00:30:13.059 --> 00:30:20.200
with him. It'll be very interesting. What's Jai

00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:25.339
doing? Because he just had that fight with Squeo.

00:30:27.460 --> 00:30:29.740
Yeah, I mean, there's nothing on right now. I

00:30:29.740 --> 00:30:33.119
don't know if they're in negotiation at the moment,

00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:39.079
but Zurdo said in the post -fight interview that

00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:44.460
he wants to unify the titles. So, I mean, let's

00:30:44.460 --> 00:30:46.420
see that fight, man. That's pretty much the only

00:30:46.420 --> 00:30:53.160
fight at Cruiserweight that matters. Four. Or

00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:57.319
there's a possibility of a Jake Paul -Zerto fight.

00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:01.839
Wouldn't turn down that one. Which means there's

00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:05.640
also a possibility of a Jake Paul -Jai fight

00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:11.160
if he beats Zerto. Oh, whoa. That would be crazy.

00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:13.339
I feel like there's no way he takes the Jai fight.

00:31:13.940 --> 00:31:17.980
Oh, hell no. Worst timeline. That would be the

00:31:17.980 --> 00:31:21.480
worst timeline. He'd get flatlined real bad.

00:31:21.900 --> 00:31:24.920
Real, real bad. I would love to see that, though.

00:31:25.619 --> 00:31:30.299
I would pay to be with you. Jai Upataya takes

00:31:30.299 --> 00:31:35.079
Badu Jack to get the final belt, but he loses.

00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:41.299
And then Jake Paul beats Zurdo. And then they

00:31:41.299 --> 00:31:44.900
unify for Undisputed. Jake Paul versus Badu Jack,

00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:47.779
Undisputed at Cruiserweight, man. Get me out

00:31:47.779 --> 00:31:49.480
of this timeline. Get me out of this timeline,

00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:51.799
bro. That was crazy. Get me out of here. That

00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:53.700
timeline's probably gonna have Benavidez, Canelo.

00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:57.880
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll get it for sure, man.

00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:00.339
2026 is on the way. Trust. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

00:32:00.339 --> 00:32:01.980
For sure. For sure. We're gonna see that shit.

00:32:04.099 --> 00:32:07.279
That's the unholy timeline, I tell you. We gotta

00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:14.880
do this fucked up shit. We're cursed. And the

00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:20.359
last one on the bill, Jake Paul does a dance

00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:26.960
with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. I say that with as

00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:29.680
much scorn as I can put into my voice because

00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:33.740
God damn it, that was fucking embarrassing. Again,

00:32:33.859 --> 00:32:36.759
how do I keep putting my faith into Chavez? Why

00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:39.299
do I keep doing this to myself? I don't understand.

00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:45.680
I felt horrible just watching that fight. Yeah.

00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:56.579
So, I was about to say, I truly believe that

00:32:56.579 --> 00:32:59.400
Chavez was told he was going to get paid off

00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:02.099
to take a dive. Because there's no way... He

00:33:02.099 --> 00:33:05.839
fought not bad in those last couple rounds. True.

00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:10.049
And the fact that... From what I see, the fact

00:33:10.049 --> 00:33:12.130
that he was able to fight like that at all, tells

00:33:12.130 --> 00:33:14.789
me that he was able to win the fight. But he

00:33:14.789 --> 00:33:18.269
just chose not to. He just chose to put off the

00:33:18.269 --> 00:33:21.230
pedal and wait until round five, round six, before

00:33:21.230 --> 00:33:24.289
he stepped it up. Sad. I think that's just the

00:33:24.289 --> 00:33:27.849
thing. Jake Paul also started the guys in the

00:33:27.849 --> 00:33:30.250
later rounds. It was pretty clear. But I mean,

00:33:30.269 --> 00:33:34.450
bro, Chavez just did not throw in the early rounds.

00:33:34.509 --> 00:33:35.869
I don't know if he was just worried about Jake

00:33:35.869 --> 00:33:38.650
Paul's power or what. But he, like, was just

00:33:38.650 --> 00:33:41.710
showed up and just not throwing anything. I mean,

00:33:41.710 --> 00:33:43.109
the stats were insane for, like, the first four

00:33:43.109 --> 00:33:45.750
or five rounds. His punch stats were, like, ridiculous.

00:33:45.930 --> 00:33:50.269
I mean, he threw nothing. Oh, yeah. It was just

00:33:50.269 --> 00:33:54.529
fucking stupid. And it's funny because if it

00:33:54.529 --> 00:33:57.150
wasn't rigged, honestly, if it wasn't rigged

00:33:57.150 --> 00:33:59.250
at all, I absolutely think that he was scared

00:33:59.250 --> 00:34:01.049
to lose to a YouTuber. And that's why he didn't

00:34:01.049 --> 00:34:04.390
want to go out and throw. That's what my thinking

00:34:04.390 --> 00:34:09.460
was. Yeah, I mean, I think, yeah, I think he

00:34:09.460 --> 00:34:11.739
just didn't want to get laid out or knocked down,

00:34:11.820 --> 00:34:13.380
which, I mean, I guess he accomplished his goal.

00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:16.179
But, I mean, yeah, in like the eighth, ninth,

00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:19.639
and tenth round, I mean, he's like, oh, let me

00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:21.659
try punching. And it actually worked. Surprise,

00:34:21.820 --> 00:34:24.699
surprise. I'll try punching in this boxing match.

00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:31.480
I'm actually a boxer. Yeah. For God. And it's

00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:33.340
funny that now the biggest curse of this fight

00:34:33.340 --> 00:34:35.260
is that now Jake Paul is ranked. That's exactly

00:34:35.260 --> 00:34:38.820
where I was going to go with it. All of this

00:34:38.820 --> 00:34:43.880
and now he's ranked 14th by the WBA. That's wild.

00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:48.280
Probably one of the craziest things I've seen

00:34:48.280 --> 00:34:52.219
this year so far. Not even like shock value,

00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:56.780
you know? Like what the hell? What other wild

00:34:56.780 --> 00:35:00.340
shit has happened so far? In the boxing world?

00:35:00.539 --> 00:35:07.699
Yeah. This year? Yeah. That was pretty wild.

00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:23.260
Yeah, I am. Nah. That's only a world breaker

00:35:23.260 --> 00:35:27.179
for a certain subsect of people. Yeah. Yeah.

00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:36.340
for some reason. I'm just trying to think. How

00:35:36.340 --> 00:35:42.179
much of the backlash of this is because it's

00:35:42.179 --> 00:35:48.420
Jake Paul? Because RGF in the chat, in Discord,

00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:52.480
he was putting up the number 13th ranked guy

00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:56.840
has yet to have a 10 round fight. And Jake Paul

00:35:56.840 --> 00:36:02.690
has already had a few. I mean, eh? Jake Paul's

00:36:02.690 --> 00:36:05.130
winning his fights. He's a clown. Absolutely,

00:36:05.150 --> 00:36:09.730
he's a clown. But, man, he's the best clown in

00:36:09.730 --> 00:36:13.769
the fucking circus right now. With the WBA being

00:36:13.769 --> 00:36:18.030
the way it is. Call it as it is. He sells pay

00:36:18.030 --> 00:36:20.030
-per -view, you know? See what you want. He does

00:36:20.030 --> 00:36:22.190
sell pay -per -view stuff. Yeah. Yeah, he puts

00:36:22.190 --> 00:36:24.570
up money, and honestly, I mean, he's not terrible.

00:36:25.289 --> 00:36:27.730
I've seen worse boxing than him. He's been doing

00:36:27.730 --> 00:36:31.400
it as long as, like, what, Roley, right? At this

00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:35.840
point, I just think that maybe he's got a shot

00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:39.340
in the future. Maybe not for a title, but to

00:36:39.340 --> 00:36:43.039
become a contender, maybe. Because also, Cruiserweight,

00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:45.719
if there's a weight class to do this at, it's

00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:48.920
for sure Cruiserweight. Heavyweight, too, is

00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:51.599
dominated by big dudes. Light heavyweight, you

00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:53.659
got people on better beef. But Cruiserweight

00:36:53.659 --> 00:36:57.659
is the perfect level of shitty fighters. The

00:36:57.659 --> 00:36:59.519
desert. You know what I mean? Yeah, the desert,

00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:02.900
dude. There's no disrespect. No disrespect to

00:37:02.900 --> 00:37:04.039
the fighters themselves. I mean, they're all

00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:06.000
tough in their own ways. You know, they're all

00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:07.320
boxes. You know, you got to give respect to each

00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:10.380
and every one of them. But I think Jake Paul

00:37:10.380 --> 00:37:12.940
can beat a good amount of them. Yeah. Fortunately.

00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:15.539
Fortunately, unfortunately, whatever you want

00:37:15.539 --> 00:37:19.000
to say. I mean, he's got a shot. Maybe even bottle

00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:25.579
jack. It's probably the most. Yeah. This is the

00:37:25.579 --> 00:37:29.119
thing. We've known about this. Like, Jake Paul.

00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:34.059
Like, he produces numbers whenever it comes to,

00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:35.780
like, making fights or, like, making events.

00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:39.400
He does numbers. So, I mean, that's always going

00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:41.079
to matter in the boxing world just because it's

00:37:41.079 --> 00:37:44.199
an entertainment business. And the boxing organizations

00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:47.159
see this. So they're going to want their sanctioning

00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:49.239
fees. They're going to want, you know, their

00:37:49.239 --> 00:37:50.960
piece of the pie whenever it comes to these fights.

00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:54.960
So that's why they put him in the rankings. But,

00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:57.360
I mean, yeah, I'm not too pressed about it, to

00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:01.860
be honest. Jake Paul, he won't hold a belt. So

00:38:01.860 --> 00:38:04.300
boxing fans can rejoice about that. I don't think

00:38:04.300 --> 00:38:08.099
he'll hold a belt. But I'm not too impressed

00:38:08.099 --> 00:38:14.360
about him being ranked, at least. Yep. You're

00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:17.219
putting weirdos, whatever weird fights in front

00:38:17.219 --> 00:38:21.679
of them, he's winning. It's what you're supposed

00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:24.920
to do to climb up the ladder. It would be nice

00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:28.059
for him to fight other ranked contenders. instead

00:38:28.059 --> 00:38:33.719
of just doing circus fights. But, I mean, that's

00:38:33.719 --> 00:38:36.519
not really for me to say, I guess, with, uh,

00:38:36.539 --> 00:38:40.739
what Jake Paul does with his time and money.

00:38:43.539 --> 00:38:45.519
Well, I know he did deal with money. He didn't

00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:48.639
give, uh, police officer Chavez his cut, probably.

00:38:49.260 --> 00:38:53.099
As we know what happened. Oh, shit. Uh, Jake,

00:38:53.139 --> 00:38:56.489
uh, Chavez got deported. like immediately after

00:38:56.489 --> 00:39:00.050
the fight jake paul pike called it called the

00:39:00.050 --> 00:39:02.969
ice on his ass hey this guy's illegal this guy's

00:39:02.969 --> 00:39:05.389
connected he's in a little cartel pick him out

00:39:05.389 --> 00:39:10.889
yeah that was wild to hear i thought that was

00:39:10.889 --> 00:39:13.510
like a post dude i'm not even lying i i honestly

00:39:13.510 --> 00:39:15.869
thought i didn't post until i saw the video i

00:39:15.869 --> 00:39:17.170
was like what it would have been like a good

00:39:17.170 --> 00:39:21.849
like boxing centel post yeah but uh yeah it was

00:39:21.849 --> 00:39:26.349
all to see it was all to see Like, bro, what?

00:39:27.110 --> 00:39:29.070
I mean, that just makes me think, like, it's

00:39:29.070 --> 00:39:30.929
not even a coincidence, dude. It just has to

00:39:30.929 --> 00:39:34.030
be, like, a connection, you know? I mean, from

00:39:34.030 --> 00:39:37.090
what I was hearing, like, apparently they had

00:39:37.090 --> 00:39:39.710
been, like, sort of tracking him since he entered

00:39:39.710 --> 00:39:42.829
the country. And they had had a warrant for him.

00:39:43.110 --> 00:39:45.969
But I'm like, bro, why would you wait until after

00:39:45.969 --> 00:39:48.409
the fight if you think this guy's a threat? Right.

00:39:48.429 --> 00:39:51.869
I'm glad, dude. That's the part that didn't really

00:39:51.869 --> 00:39:53.469
make sense to me. I'm okay with everything else,

00:39:53.489 --> 00:39:57.239
but, like... Why wait? Why give him a visa in

00:39:57.239 --> 00:40:01.079
the first place? Exactly, yeah. If this guy's

00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:05.099
on a list, then how did he get in? Exactly. They

00:40:05.099 --> 00:40:07.559
probably pulled a couple favors. So there's a

00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:11.480
warrant out for his arrest. They give him a visa

00:40:11.480 --> 00:40:17.179
anyway. You can't say you didn't know where he

00:40:17.179 --> 00:40:20.929
was. He was doing a bunch of media events. There

00:40:20.929 --> 00:40:23.690
were like 50 cameras pointed at him at all times.

00:40:24.190 --> 00:40:27.730
He's live on fucking YouTube Live for the weigh

00:40:27.730 --> 00:40:31.550
-in. You know where he is. Why don't you go get

00:40:31.550 --> 00:40:33.670
him if you have a problem with it? If you have

00:40:33.670 --> 00:40:37.789
a problem with him being here? Just performative.

00:40:38.130 --> 00:40:40.670
They had to let Jake Paul beat him up. I guess.

00:40:44.150 --> 00:40:46.449
If it was anything, I'd say Jake Paul went to

00:40:46.449 --> 00:40:48.750
bat on his behalf. It's like, hey, why don't

00:40:48.750 --> 00:40:55.400
you guys... Let me handle this one. I mean, I

00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:57.599
just feel like he probably called him in just

00:40:57.599 --> 00:41:00.039
to not pay his ass. I feel like Jake Paul would

00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:05.659
use this shot, I guess. Twisted shit. You beat

00:41:05.659 --> 00:41:09.000
me up in the 10th round, get your ass deported.

00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:12.780
Why even deport him if you're going to wait until

00:41:12.780 --> 00:41:15.099
after the fight anyway when he has to leave regardless?

00:41:16.619 --> 00:41:21.030
What the fuck, man? Really dumb. What was he

00:41:21.030 --> 00:41:22.809
even doing, dude? What the hell was that guy

00:41:22.809 --> 00:41:26.429
even doing? Get his ass... I don't even think

00:41:26.429 --> 00:41:30.269
he was connected that hard, huh? Probably not.

00:41:30.550 --> 00:41:33.989
He probably just knows mid -level guys just because

00:41:33.989 --> 00:41:42.949
of his family name. Yeah. Anything more for the

00:41:42.949 --> 00:41:51.480
Jake Paul Chavez card? let me put a bow on this

00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:56.280
this section anyway uh wherever you're listening

00:41:56.280 --> 00:41:59.699
what okay can i say one more thing yeah of course

00:41:59.699 --> 00:42:02.539
because uh we haven't we haven't done this in

00:42:02.539 --> 00:42:07.980
weeks huh so i want i want to mention one fight

00:42:07.980 --> 00:42:11.579
and one fight only and then i just want to sneak

00:42:11.579 --> 00:42:15.079
it in i want to i don't know if we mentioned

00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:17.619
this last podcast last podcast but Brian Norman

00:42:17.619 --> 00:42:20.280
Jr. versus Jen Psaki? Oh, shit. I don't think

00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:22.800
we talked about it. It's been like three weeks

00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:25.159
since her last pod. Yeah. I think this one, at

00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:29.920
least there's a little bit of a squeeze in. Beautiful

00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:33.980
knockout. It was phenomenal. Yeah. Phenomenal.

00:42:33.980 --> 00:42:37.920
That was insane, man. I waited until four in

00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:41.119
the morning for that shit. I didn't wait, but

00:42:41.119 --> 00:42:43.519
I did see the fight afterward, man. It was demolition

00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:45.480
jawline. He knocked him down in the first round

00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:49.079
twice. Or something like that. I mean, it was

00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:51.159
immediate. Juntosaki, to his credit, he tried

00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:54.280
to fight. He came back trying to throw something

00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:57.860
towards Norman Jr., but it just was not enough.

00:42:58.539 --> 00:43:00.739
Norman looked good, man. He's got power. He's

00:43:00.739 --> 00:43:03.739
fast. I mean, he's young. He looked phenomenal.

00:43:04.659 --> 00:43:06.860
Yeah. Now that Boots is gone, I don't think he

00:43:06.860 --> 00:43:08.539
can really make this his division. I think it

00:43:08.539 --> 00:43:11.500
is his division at this point. Yeah. Is Norman

00:43:11.500 --> 00:43:14.639
beating Boots allegations? They're not so far

00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:18.909
-fetched, huh? Not so much anymore. It's arguable,

00:43:18.909 --> 00:43:23.010
but I still think Boots would have won. Oh, maybe.

00:43:23.550 --> 00:43:26.969
We'll never know. Unless Norman moves up, but

00:43:26.969 --> 00:43:30.590
we'll see. Because right now, Norman, he in the

00:43:30.590 --> 00:43:34.010
division right now. He got Roley. You got Barrios,

00:43:34.030 --> 00:43:36.409
soon to be Pac -Man. Talk about the next week.

00:43:36.610 --> 00:43:42.309
And then you got another vacant title. There

00:43:42.309 --> 00:43:50.210
you go. All right. We good? Yep. All right. So

00:43:50.210 --> 00:43:53.590

during the pod. I sometimes do. During the pod.

00:45:19.909 --> 00:45:22.369
Yeah, I take them before so that I'm peaking

00:45:22.369 --> 00:45:26.409
right as we're getting into the flow of it. See

00:45:26.409 --> 00:45:30.619
your bad taste come out? That's like all the

00:45:30.619 --> 00:45:34.219
time. I am nothing but bad takes. I think Tank

00:45:34.219 --> 00:45:39.099
beats Manny Pacquiao at his prime. 135 Pacquiao

00:45:39.099 --> 00:45:45.199
versus Tank? That might go into the emergency

00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:49.519
topics category. There you go. We still have

00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:52.719
Crawford in there. We do. Here goes the other

00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:55.219
one. We have another one added. Awesome. All

00:45:55.219 --> 00:45:58.159

Serrano 3. This is one of those all -women's

00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:14.760
cards that happen from time to time. I'm hopeful

00:46:14.760 --> 00:46:19.019
that they won't do ring girls for this because

00:46:19.019 --> 00:46:20.800
that'd be kind of silly to have an all -women's

00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:25.900
card with ring girls. It's always fun. I think

00:46:25.900 --> 00:46:28.159
it's funny when there's ring boys. Those are

00:46:28.159 --> 00:46:31.159
always hilarious to me. So I'm hopeful that they

00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:34.159
pull out all the stops for the ladies on this

00:46:34.159 --> 00:46:38.059
card. Ladies night. Yeah, it is. That's what

00:46:38.059 --> 00:46:42.480
it is. Ring boys? Yeah, it's just like hunky

00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:46.940
dudes in shorts. And they do the ring cards.

00:46:47.719 --> 00:46:56.099
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So here's some notable names.

00:46:56.159 --> 00:46:58.880
Savannah Marshall, if you're familiar with the

00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:02.039
Brit scene, she's fighting Shadesha Green for

00:47:02.039 --> 00:47:06.039
unifying the IBF and WBO super middleweight titles.

00:47:07.820 --> 00:47:14.960
Sharnika Johnson is the WBA C &O champion doing

00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:18.000
the undisputed thing with IBF champ Sharetta

00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:25.079
Metcalf. I think Neeks is Australian. And Alicia

00:47:25.079 --> 00:47:30.179
Baumgartner. Fucking my queen. Versus Jennifer

00:47:30.179 --> 00:47:32.880
Miranda. Undisputed super featherweight champ

00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:37.199
in Baumgartner. This is her first fight with

00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:41.340
MVP, right? Yes, I believe so. All right. That'd

00:47:41.340 --> 00:47:44.800
be cool. It's a nice event to get on. Ellie Scottney

00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:48.980
versus Yamileth Mercado. Scottney is the IBF

00:47:48.980 --> 00:47:52.739
champ. Mercado is the... Scottney is IBF and

00:47:52.739 --> 00:47:57.780
WBO. Mercado is WBC, and they're unifying. And

00:47:57.780 --> 00:48:00.880
capping it off, Katie Taylor versus Amanda Serrano.

00:48:01.619 --> 00:48:06.980
Undisputed 140 -pound championship. Woof. I'm

00:48:06.980 --> 00:48:09.619
actually interested to see or to hear about this.

00:48:09.699 --> 00:48:11.320
Who do you guys have winning this fight, this

00:48:11.320 --> 00:48:15.559
main event? I'm going with Serrano again. Method,

00:48:15.980 --> 00:48:20.420
decision, KO. What do you think? What did I put?

00:48:21.539 --> 00:48:25.309
Let me pull up my picks up. I put Serrano by

00:48:25.309 --> 00:48:32.269
KO this time. Crazy. Crazy. I have Serrano by

00:48:32.269 --> 00:48:35.869
decision. I agree with Leo's decision as well.

00:48:36.769 --> 00:48:40.070
See, I was actually... The last two fights, I

00:48:40.070 --> 00:48:43.530
backed up Katie Taylor by decision. But this

00:48:43.530 --> 00:48:45.429
fight, man, I don't know. In the second fight,

00:48:45.610 --> 00:48:48.010
Katie Taylor almost got blasted at the end of

00:48:48.010 --> 00:48:50.230
the first few rounds by Serrano. If those were

00:48:50.230 --> 00:48:51.929
three -minute fights, I think she was honestly

00:48:51.929 --> 00:48:54.019
out of there. But, I mean, I don't know, man.

00:48:54.239 --> 00:48:57.320
At one point, age has to... Like, I know Serrano's

00:48:57.320 --> 00:49:00.539
old, too, but... It has to start affecting Taylor.

00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:02.840
I mean, she's been in some wars. Yeah, exactly.

00:49:05.360 --> 00:49:06.980
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I mean, we'll see.

00:49:07.099 --> 00:49:08.300
Should be a good fight. We'll see how much...

00:49:08.300 --> 00:49:11.219
We'll see how much fool Mattrum has this time

00:49:11.219 --> 00:49:14.079
around. I feel like... I feel like this time

00:49:14.079 --> 00:49:15.699
Amanda Serrano's gonna get the decision. I don't

00:49:15.699 --> 00:49:18.039
think she's gonna be able to get a knockout this

00:49:18.039 --> 00:49:19.360
time around just because, like, what you said,

00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:22.679
the age. She might... He's slowing down just

00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:25.420
a little bit. It's been a while. That last fight

00:49:25.420 --> 00:49:28.920
was a war, I will say. We don't know how much

00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:34.940
that kind of put on her body. We'll see. I truly

00:49:34.940 --> 00:49:38.539
think she's going to get this time around. Do

00:49:38.539 --> 00:49:40.619
you think we see headbutts from Katie Taylor?

00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:44.519
Oh, hell yeah. That's a Katie Taylor special

00:49:44.519 --> 00:49:47.599
right there. Yeah, I was going to say. It's a

00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:51.269
matter of if Serrano has... kind of figured out

00:49:51.269 --> 00:49:53.730
how to deal with those. Because when she gets

00:49:53.730 --> 00:49:56.610
the cuts and then Taylor starts targeting them.

00:49:57.570 --> 00:50:01.730
Yeah. It just looks worse optically. It's grimy

00:50:01.730 --> 00:50:04.949
and it's kind of a dirty way of fighting. I don't

00:50:04.949 --> 00:50:08.449
really like it. Yeah. I would like for Taylor

00:50:08.449 --> 00:50:13.550
to get her comeuppance. Yeah. I think Toronto

00:50:13.550 --> 00:50:17.969
will get it done this time. Yeah. Hopefully.

00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:23.739
The only way that this card would be better is

00:50:23.739 --> 00:50:28.119
if it had Gabi Pandora. Oh, shit. That would

00:50:28.119 --> 00:50:32.019
have been really sad. That would be a lot. That

00:50:32.019 --> 00:50:34.780
would be... The way Shinata put it on Boxing

00:50:34.780 --> 00:50:39.159
Before Dark was like, this is the... Fucking...

00:50:39.159 --> 00:50:42.039
What is it? All of the good women's fights are

00:50:42.039 --> 00:50:44.519
on this card. And now we're not going to have

00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:48.699
it for like six months. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:50:53.559 --> 00:50:55.019
It's like Jake's the turkey all chic for the

00:50:55.019 --> 00:50:58.980
women. Yeah, all of them are on here. I will

00:50:58.980 --> 00:51:01.239
say this though, I think it probably wouldn't

00:51:01.239 --> 00:51:03.579
be a good idea for Gabby from the world of hot

00:51:03.579 --> 00:51:08.860
promotional companies to go to MVP. Yeah, Jake's

00:51:08.860 --> 00:51:11.639
taking care of them. Yeah, he's doing a pretty

00:51:11.639 --> 00:51:14.699
good job too. Absolutely. From his promotional,

00:51:14.900 --> 00:51:19.599
like purely from his promotional standing. He's

00:51:19.599 --> 00:51:21.519
done incredible work for boxing. I mean, especially

00:51:21.519 --> 00:51:24.139
Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor, they've reached

00:51:24.139 --> 00:51:29.500
a new level under his promotion to MVP. It's

00:51:29.500 --> 00:51:33.059
really nice to see. Yeah. Hasn't been this much

00:51:33.059 --> 00:51:34.619
buzz for a female fighter since probably the

00:51:34.619 --> 00:51:39.380
coal miner's daughter. Yeah. It's been real nice,

00:51:39.420 --> 00:51:41.139
man. And the Katie Taylor fight and Amanda Serrano

00:51:41.139 --> 00:51:43.719
fight, this trilogy has been really, really good.

00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:47.840
Yeah. It's definitely the best trilogy for women.

00:51:48.380 --> 00:51:53.500
Yeah, that I can remember, yeah. Yeah, that's

00:51:53.500 --> 00:51:56.880
something I say about Jake Paul. As much of a

00:51:56.880 --> 00:51:59.619
clown as he is in promoting his own fights, when

00:51:59.619 --> 00:52:01.900
it comes to promoting other people's fights,

00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:06.260
he's a fucking solid businessman. He's doing

00:52:06.260 --> 00:52:09.900
great work with Serrano. I'd like to see him

00:52:09.900 --> 00:52:11.900
try to do the same for some of the smaller weight

00:52:11.900 --> 00:52:15.119
classes on the men's side. Just because they

00:52:15.119 --> 00:52:18.289
don't get a lot of love either. That would be

00:52:18.289 --> 00:52:23.469
a lot harder to do. Probably. That's possible.

00:52:24.710 --> 00:52:28.409
I wonder of how Christy Martin has, like, how

00:52:28.409 --> 00:52:32.110
she's reacted to MVP. I wonder if she, like,

00:52:32.110 --> 00:52:35.610
supports it, you know? You know what I mean?

00:52:35.829 --> 00:52:37.929
I'd like to see Holly Holm come over to MVP.

00:52:40.190 --> 00:52:44.489
Not with MVP? No. Wait. No, no. Oh, wait. She

00:52:44.489 --> 00:52:47.309
was on the card, right? That was a Golden Boy

00:52:47.309 --> 00:52:52.190
card, wasn't it? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe

00:52:52.190 --> 00:52:57.929
it's both. But I don't think she's with MVP.

00:52:59.110 --> 00:53:05.789
I'll look into it because I'm curious. Anything

00:53:05.789 --> 00:53:13.070
more for the ladies card? Solid event. No, that's

00:53:13.070 --> 00:53:15.289
all I got. Yeah, it's not a bad Friday night.

00:53:15.389 --> 00:53:17.650
If you're not doing anything else, this is a

00:53:17.650 --> 00:53:25.349
good one to watch. Fantastic appetizer. For Riyadh,

00:53:25.570 --> 00:53:31.429
the ring three at the Louis Armstrong Stadium

00:53:31.429 --> 00:53:39.670
in Central Park, New York. I don't have the exact

00:53:39.670 --> 00:53:43.159
running order. But all the fights that I have

00:53:43.159 --> 00:53:47.079
listed here are all pretty solid and worth stopping

00:53:47.079 --> 00:53:52.119
to talk about. So first, why, Alex, do you have

00:53:52.119 --> 00:53:54.639
Hamza Shiraz beating the shit out of Edgar Berlingo?

00:53:55.559 --> 00:53:59.199
What? I know you love Shiraz. What? Dude, that's

00:53:59.199 --> 00:54:01.719
crazy. That's crazy whatever said it to me. That

00:54:01.719 --> 00:54:05.619
is crazy. Okay, this is bait. This is such bait

00:54:05.619 --> 00:54:07.139
here. I'm going to fall for it. I'm going to

00:54:07.139 --> 00:54:09.679
fall for it. Of course it's bait. I'll tell you

00:54:09.679 --> 00:54:14.760
this. Ooh, I don't want to say this because I

00:54:14.760 --> 00:54:16.599
don't want to please the Brit fighters. Or not

00:54:16.599 --> 00:54:18.619
Brit fighters, but the Brit fans because I've

00:54:18.619 --> 00:54:21.559
been talking a lot of shit about them. Let me

00:54:21.559 --> 00:54:26.260
tell you this, okay? Hamza is ass, but this whole

00:54:26.260 --> 00:54:28.760
fight is going to go down to who's more ass,

00:54:28.900 --> 00:54:33.300
you know? The battle of ass. Yeah, the battle

00:54:33.300 --> 00:54:36.320
of ass. The ass battle. Bumlonga or fucking Shiraz,

00:54:36.500 --> 00:54:40.019
you know? And the thing is, I want Bumlonga to

00:54:40.019 --> 00:54:43.380
win. I want Berlanga to win so bad just to see

00:54:43.380 --> 00:54:48.539
Turkey's face just melt down, you know? We need

00:54:48.539 --> 00:54:51.880
the Saudi invasion to end. We cannot have Hamza

00:54:51.880 --> 00:54:55.079
Shiraz fighting Canelo next. We need something

00:54:55.079 --> 00:54:57.380
better than that. I'd much rather watch a Bubing

00:54:57.380 --> 00:54:59.719
fight with Canelo than a Shiraz fight with Canelo.

00:54:59.880 --> 00:55:03.719
What about Mbili? I would love to see that too.

00:55:04.139 --> 00:55:06.179
I would love to see that too. That is like a

00:55:06.179 --> 00:55:10.340
real contender, I guess. But I, I, I, you guys

00:55:10.340 --> 00:55:12.719
know that I've been on the Shiraz. Hate train.

00:55:12.820 --> 00:55:15.039
Andy Shiraz train. Yeah. Andy Shiraz train for,

00:55:15.139 --> 00:55:18.219
for a while, dude. I mean, again, he's not a

00:55:18.219 --> 00:55:20.599
bad fighter. I just don't like the amount of

00:55:20.599 --> 00:55:23.280
push he's been giving or he's been getting, you

00:55:23.280 --> 00:55:25.380
know, and the fact that he's got a Canelo, Canelo

00:55:25.380 --> 00:55:29.380
fight lined up pissed me off, you know? Yeah.

00:55:29.579 --> 00:55:32.559
I will say. Second fight, second fight at 168.

00:55:32.599 --> 00:55:37.730
I mean, come on. Crazy. Yeah. I also don't like

00:55:37.730 --> 00:55:41.230
Edgar Berlanga. A lot of it is his old shtick.

00:55:41.429 --> 00:55:45.989
The man celebrated like he won undisputed after

00:55:45.989 --> 00:55:49.369
losing to Canelo. He was in the streets with

00:55:49.369 --> 00:55:54.170
a whole car parade. I don't like Berlanga, but

00:55:54.170 --> 00:55:58.949
we do need him to win here. If Shiraz wins, the

00:55:58.949 --> 00:56:03.170
Canelo fight is pretty much locked up. And I

00:56:03.170 --> 00:56:05.250
say this as someone that is an ex -Shiraz supporter.

00:56:05.329 --> 00:56:09.170
After he let me down versus Carlos Adames, I

00:56:09.170 --> 00:56:11.449
had to hop off the train. I know there's the

00:56:11.449 --> 00:56:15.489
whole thing with his, you know, the injury in

00:56:15.489 --> 00:56:18.750
his hand. But I just cannot support. And I really

00:56:18.750 --> 00:56:21.650
don't want this kind of fight to happen. But,

00:56:21.650 --> 00:56:28.630
yeah, man, I hope Berlanga can get it done. Yeah,

00:56:28.730 --> 00:56:32.260
I mean, we'll see. We'll see. The thing with

00:56:32.260 --> 00:56:35.260
Berlanga, too, is that if he can just go in there

00:56:35.260 --> 00:56:38.500
and just fight him in the pocket, you know, just

00:56:38.500 --> 00:56:41.699
get in there and just be nasty with him. Smart

00:56:41.699 --> 00:56:43.719
but nasty, you know what I mean? If he can do

00:56:43.719 --> 00:56:47.019
that, I think he'd win. He has to make him uncomfortable,

00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:49.860
yeah. Exactly, yeah. And the thing is, we also

00:56:49.860 --> 00:56:52.360
don't know how Shiraz's power goes up to 168,

00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:54.380
and we also don't know how his chin transfers

00:56:54.380 --> 00:56:56.719
up to 168, because he's been down before. His

00:56:56.719 --> 00:56:59.000
brother's been down before. I don't even think

00:56:59.000 --> 00:57:03.059
it was 168, I think it was 154, right? I don't

00:57:03.059 --> 00:57:04.920
remember exactly what way. But Ammo Williams

00:57:04.920 --> 00:57:07.980
also hurt him bad. Yeah, and he's not really

00:57:07.980 --> 00:57:10.019
known as a power puncher, Ammo Williams. No?

00:57:10.400 --> 00:57:12.739
Yeah, I mean, he hurt him bad. But that's what

00:57:12.739 --> 00:57:17.119
I'm saying. It's possible. I mean, I will say

00:57:17.119 --> 00:57:20.199
this. We've seen photos of Shiraz standing next

00:57:20.199 --> 00:57:24.000
to the likes of Bivol. He's bigger than Bivol

00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:27.900
by a decent margin. He is tall. We'll see more

00:57:27.900 --> 00:57:32.210
when we get to the face -offs. But, yeah, I mean,

00:57:32.210 --> 00:57:33.349
just the fact that he's been knocked down at

00:57:33.349 --> 00:57:35.610
those lower weights, I feel like I just got to

00:57:35.610 --> 00:57:39.510
go Berlanga. But it's just, I mean, Berlanga

00:57:39.510 --> 00:57:42.949
could also just completely shit the bed. But

00:57:42.949 --> 00:57:45.989
we'll see. We'll see. I will guarantee you this,

00:57:46.050 --> 00:57:47.730
though, that Berlanga is going to get knocked

00:57:47.730 --> 00:57:50.349
down once. I can almost guarantee that. It's

00:57:50.349 --> 00:57:52.150
possible. And then I'm also going to guarantee

00:57:52.150 --> 00:57:53.389
when he gets knocked, he's going to smack his

00:57:53.389 --> 00:57:55.650
hands together and get back up. Yeah, he always

00:57:55.650 --> 00:57:58.650
does it. He always does that shit, yeah. He's

00:57:58.650 --> 00:58:01.090
going to get back up and fight. We'll see. We'll

00:58:01.090 --> 00:58:03.789
see how bad he gets rocked. You know? His recovery

00:58:03.789 --> 00:58:06.690
is pretty nice, yeah. Like, he... Whenever Canelo

00:58:06.690 --> 00:58:09.110
knocked him down with that hook, like, I mean,

00:58:09.110 --> 00:58:10.150
he immediately, like you said, he slapped his

00:58:10.150 --> 00:58:12.369
hands and then immediately got back up. His recovery

00:58:12.369 --> 00:58:15.510
is pretty nice. Well, I mean, we'll see what

00:58:15.510 --> 00:58:17.909
happens. I mean, he's definitely... For as long

00:58:17.909 --> 00:58:20.130
as a weight bully himself. And I can't believe

00:58:20.130 --> 00:58:22.489
I'm rooting for a weight bully like him. But,

00:58:22.530 --> 00:58:25.010
man, I just... I can't have Baxter Ross, dude.

00:58:25.590 --> 00:58:28.269
Just the love he gets, you know? I'm not trying

00:58:28.269 --> 00:58:34.039
to be a hater. Well, I don't know. I just think

00:58:34.039 --> 00:58:36.860
that the fact that he's getting a Canelo, the

00:58:36.860 --> 00:58:39.820
route to Canelo, when he had a perfect... He

00:58:39.820 --> 00:58:41.820
could have fought anybody else at 160. He could

00:58:41.820 --> 00:58:44.260
have stayed at 165. Jannebeck, he ducked him.

00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:46.659
Fought Carlos Adamas for an easy title, quote

00:58:46.659 --> 00:58:50.340
-unquote. He lost to him. I mean, come on. The

00:58:50.340 --> 00:58:52.099
hand... Do you guys really believe the hand injury,

00:58:52.219 --> 00:58:54.760
too? Do you guys really believe that? Yeah, me

00:58:54.760 --> 00:58:57.300
neither. I mean, there was nothing... He looked

00:58:57.300 --> 00:58:59.420
different, but we didn't really see any follow

00:58:59.420 --> 00:59:03.860
-up after that. Oh, yeah. I doubt it was a hand

00:59:03.860 --> 00:59:07.239
injury. I think that's an old excuse in the boxing

00:59:07.239 --> 00:59:10.920
book. If you really wanted to prove it, he could

00:59:10.920 --> 00:59:15.039
have just rematched Adonis. If it really was

00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:17.639
a hand injury, then rematch and beat him. Exactly.

00:59:18.559 --> 00:59:21.679
But he knows that he's going to get that fight

00:59:21.679 --> 00:59:26.219
with Canelo. They signed Canelo, I think, Did

00:59:26.219 --> 00:59:27.760
they sign Canelo after the last contract or before?

00:59:28.059 --> 00:59:33.179
I don't know. After what? Did they sign Canelo

00:59:33.179 --> 00:59:37.179
after or before February? The February card.

00:59:39.139 --> 00:59:43.420
After, I think. I think we... Yeah, we had heard

00:59:43.420 --> 00:59:44.940
rumors about it, but I don't think anything was

00:59:44.940 --> 00:59:49.420
said until after. Because I feel like... I just

00:59:49.420 --> 00:59:52.239
got a theory that Shiraz moved up just purely

00:59:52.239 --> 00:59:55.780
because they want... They want him to fight Canelo.

00:59:56.840 --> 01:00:01.280
That's the thing. I have this big theory, dude.

01:00:01.380 --> 01:00:03.840
I have this big, grand theory of how Canelo's

01:00:03.840 --> 01:00:06.280
four -fight deal is going to play out. He's going

01:00:06.280 --> 01:00:08.539
to beat Crawford, quote -unquote, on the cards.

01:00:09.219 --> 01:00:11.679
And then he's going to fight Shiraz if Shiraz

01:00:11.679 --> 01:00:13.280
wins. Even if he doesn't win, he might still

01:00:13.280 --> 01:00:15.719
get the fight. But he's going to fight Shiraz.

01:00:15.719 --> 01:00:18.079
That's going to go to the cards for sure. And

01:00:18.079 --> 01:00:21.309
they're going to give Shiraz the titles. You

01:00:21.309 --> 01:00:23.889
guys saw, like, Turkey. I thought when I first

01:00:23.889 --> 01:00:26.010
saw this, I was like, oh, this is, you know,

01:00:26.010 --> 01:00:27.769
someone from Reddit or someone online on Twitter

01:00:27.769 --> 01:00:30.650
is just, like, making a joke. But this was, like,

01:00:30.670 --> 01:00:34.070
actually real. This happened. Turkey Al -Ashiq

01:00:34.070 --> 01:00:37.869
put a tweet out saying that he would be very

01:00:37.869 --> 01:00:40.489
disappointed if Shiraz and Shakur lost because

01:00:40.489 --> 01:00:43.889
that would mess up his plans. He made a tweet

01:00:43.889 --> 01:00:48.369
saying that. I remember that. Clear favoritism.

01:00:49.000 --> 01:00:51.519
towards certain results. I mean, it's astounding

01:00:51.519 --> 01:00:54.260
that he would even consider posting that because

01:00:54.260 --> 01:00:58.260
it's, it's just, if I'm trying to, like, you

01:00:58.260 --> 01:01:00.679
know, if I have favoritism, that's okay and everything,

01:01:00.760 --> 01:01:01.980
but I'm not going to put it out there for everyone

01:01:01.980 --> 01:01:04.579
to see it. I mean, that's crazy. I don't know,

01:01:04.599 --> 01:01:06.820
yeah. That's the thing, Berlanga really needs

01:01:06.820 --> 01:01:08.679
to, there's no way Berlanga can get one of the

01:01:08.679 --> 01:01:11.079
cards. He needs to knock them out. He absolutely

01:01:11.079 --> 01:01:13.219
needs to knock them out. Yeah. Even if it's a

01:01:13.219 --> 01:01:15.760
shot, even if it's a masterclass, like, her level

01:01:15.760 --> 01:01:17.639
fighting, you know, in the pocket and, you know,

01:01:18.359 --> 01:01:22.280
Fucking Floyd Mayweather type fucking role. I'll

01:01:22.280 --> 01:01:24.539
tell you, dude, he's still going to lose unless

01:01:24.539 --> 01:01:28.360
he knocks him out. Yeah, dude, I put Berlanga

01:01:28.360 --> 01:01:30.599
down by KO. Hopefully it happens, but we'll see.

01:01:31.420 --> 01:01:35.340
Yeah. And if it doesn't happen, oh my God. They're

01:01:35.340 --> 01:01:36.619
going to, I already know on the server, they're

01:01:36.619 --> 01:01:39.019
going to be talking about. Dude, it's over for

01:01:39.019 --> 01:01:42.199
us all. If that doesn't, it's over for us. My

01:01:42.199 --> 01:01:45.780
reputation's on the line, dude. Yeah, you are

01:01:45.780 --> 01:01:47.559
more like, I'm going to get grilled a little

01:01:47.559 --> 01:01:48.840
bit, but you're going to get crucified. You're

01:01:48.840 --> 01:01:51.980
an evangelist for anti -charades. You're going

01:01:51.980 --> 01:01:54.480
to get crucified. I'm going to get cream -piped

01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:56.400
by everybody. That's pretty good. Yeah, it's

01:01:56.400 --> 01:02:00.059
bad. That's going to be horrible, dude. I have

01:02:00.059 --> 01:02:02.099
to pay some music. In the pick league, I put

01:02:02.099 --> 01:02:05.159
draw. Because I don't want either of them to

01:02:05.159 --> 01:02:11.000
win. That's valid. That's valid. His last fight

01:02:11.000 --> 01:02:16.409
was a draw. You know who's wasn't a draw? David

01:02:16.409 --> 01:02:20.710
Murrell. I think this is a big get back for my

01:02:20.710 --> 01:02:26.170
man here. Versus Imam Kataev. Looked into this

01:02:26.170 --> 01:02:31.130
guy's record. He's 10 and 0. I think it's all

01:02:31.130 --> 01:02:34.610
knockouts. It's either 9 or 10 knockouts. But

01:02:34.610 --> 01:02:37.670
he's never fought outside of Eastern Europe.

01:02:40.829 --> 01:02:43.429
This is a get -back with a guy who looks like

01:02:43.429 --> 01:02:47.829
a puncher on paper. Yeah. I remember hearing

01:02:47.829 --> 01:02:52.590
about him, Kotev, some time ago, but nothing

01:02:52.590 --> 01:02:56.289
really came from it. I remember there was some

01:02:56.289 --> 01:03:00.010
hype behind him a few years ago. But like you

01:03:00.010 --> 01:03:03.590
said, he hasn't really done much, but this is

01:03:03.590 --> 01:03:08.010
his first big fight. Yeah. I think Morel is going

01:03:08.010 --> 01:03:10.860
to get it done. He looked really good. I mean,

01:03:10.880 --> 01:03:13.320
we knew, or we knew, like, going into the Benavidez

01:03:13.320 --> 01:03:18.000
fight in real, we had seen him before. He was

01:03:18.000 --> 01:03:20.420
a devastating puncher, like a new -gen Cuban.

01:03:20.980 --> 01:03:22.860
But it was, you know, he's sort of early for

01:03:22.860 --> 01:03:25.559
him. And we saw, I mean, he sort of got outclassed

01:03:25.559 --> 01:03:28.599
by Benavidez. But I think he'll take that experience.

01:03:29.059 --> 01:03:30.739
Yeah, I think he'll take that experience with

01:03:30.739 --> 01:03:33.159
Benavidez. And hopefully he's been in the lab

01:03:33.159 --> 01:03:36.159
working on his skills, his craft, and he can

01:03:36.159 --> 01:03:41.690
get this win done or down. I don't think it's

01:03:41.690 --> 01:03:43.909
going to be an easy fight. I think he's going

01:03:43.909 --> 01:03:48.690
to take his time. I think he's going to get a

01:03:48.690 --> 01:03:50.710
late stoppage. He's going to get a late stoppage

01:03:50.710 --> 01:03:53.130
for sure. Yeah, I think he has to be careful

01:03:53.130 --> 01:03:57.449
in this fight still. From what I remember, back

01:03:57.449 --> 01:04:02.869
when Kotev's hype was sort of high, he was decent.

01:04:03.550 --> 01:04:05.909
So you've got to be careful with these Russian

01:04:05.909 --> 01:04:09.860
dudes. Oh yeah, I have a span. Yeah. Gotta be

01:04:09.860 --> 01:04:11.820
very careful. They will fuck up a hype train.

01:04:12.659 --> 01:04:18.239
That's like the... What's the word? That's the

01:04:18.239 --> 01:04:20.960
point where that determines your worth as a fighter.

01:04:21.119 --> 01:04:23.699
Can you beat him? Can you beat him decisively?

01:04:24.519 --> 01:04:28.980
Or will you lose? Virgil crossed that line. I

01:04:28.980 --> 01:04:30.159
gotta throw him in there. Virgil crossed that

01:04:30.159 --> 01:04:33.880
line. He passed the test. Hopefully Morel's passed

01:04:33.880 --> 01:04:38.880
that test too. Yeah, we'll see how he comes back.

01:04:39.320 --> 01:04:45.440
From his first loss. He should be fine. Moving

01:04:45.440 --> 01:04:50.739
up. Alberto Puello versus Gabriel Matias. The

01:04:50.739 --> 01:04:55.219
WBC Super Lightweight Championship on the line

01:04:55.219 --> 01:04:57.880
here. Puello is the champ. Matias is coming in

01:04:57.880 --> 01:05:03.320
rated 8th. I guess he ditched the IBF. Too many

01:05:03.320 --> 01:05:07.179
final eliminators. But this is a wild fight.

01:05:07.179 --> 01:05:11.139
Yeah, this is. This is interesting, man. I gotta

01:05:11.139 --> 01:05:15.800
say. Matias, he still has his... Actually, I

01:05:15.800 --> 01:05:18.159
was about to ask if he still has his 100 % KO

01:05:18.159 --> 01:05:22.739
ratio, but I saw it posted earlier today. We

01:05:22.739 --> 01:05:26.440
know Matias has some serious power. What? Pueyo

01:05:26.440 --> 01:05:30.239
has that. I mean, he's like this super long range

01:05:30.239 --> 01:05:31.880
fighter. His arms are really long, if I remember

01:05:31.880 --> 01:05:35.440
correctly. So it's gonna be interesting. Yeah,

01:05:35.519 --> 01:05:37.730
I'm gonna be... This is definitely one of the

01:05:37.730 --> 01:05:40.710
fights to watch. We're hoping it'll be good,

01:05:40.769 --> 01:05:42.210
but we know Matias is going to... I mean, he

01:05:42.210 --> 01:05:46.030
goes out there to put people down. So, yeah.

01:05:46.269 --> 01:05:48.909
I think it'll be fun to watch. I will say it's

01:05:48.909 --> 01:05:50.610
either going to be a really exciting fight or

01:05:50.610 --> 01:05:52.949
a really boring fight. Yeah. Yeah, it could just

01:05:52.949 --> 01:05:57.150
be at distance the entire fight. Oh, yeah. Because

01:05:57.150 --> 01:06:00.690
it could be likely on Paro. It could be like

01:06:00.690 --> 01:06:03.829
that type of performance that Matias has. Or

01:06:03.829 --> 01:06:07.309
he just knocks him out. Yeah, I don't know. I

01:06:07.309 --> 01:06:10.050
feel like it's either there's two ways I could

01:06:10.050 --> 01:06:14.590
say going. A Pueo decision or Matias knockout.

01:06:15.550 --> 01:06:18.730
You know? Because Matias is not so much a crafty

01:06:18.730 --> 01:06:23.630
fighter. Like, not crafty. What's the word? He

01:06:23.630 --> 01:06:28.590
doesn't get decisions, you know? Yeah, I mean,

01:06:28.610 --> 01:06:32.710
he's purely going in there to, like, dominate

01:06:32.710 --> 01:06:34.789
his opponent and get him out of there. Yeah.

01:06:35.630 --> 01:06:39.030
I wish it is. I did think that Boyo lost his

01:06:39.030 --> 01:06:44.449
last fight against Sandor Martin. But, I mean,

01:06:44.449 --> 01:06:47.329
he got the win. We'll see. Normally, boxing has

01:06:47.329 --> 01:06:50.690
a way when, like, we saw it in the Conceição

01:06:50.690 --> 01:06:53.769
versus Foster fight. Whenever Conceição, he took

01:06:53.769 --> 01:06:57.650
the belt from Oshaki Foster, which a lot of people

01:06:57.650 --> 01:06:58.949
thought it was a robbery in the first fight.

01:06:58.989 --> 01:07:00.349
But then in the second fight, in the rematch,

01:07:00.530 --> 01:07:03.309
it was the opposite way where everyone thought

01:07:03.309 --> 01:07:06.610
Conceição. uh won the fight but it went to foster

01:07:06.610 --> 01:07:09.309
so that boxing has this weird way of like sort

01:07:09.309 --> 01:07:11.969
of getting you back like you get you get the

01:07:11.969 --> 01:07:16.829
the fight you deserve normally uh we'll see we'll

01:07:16.829 --> 01:07:19.610
see what happens whale's not going to be protected

01:07:19.610 --> 01:07:23.130
by the pbc this time around so i think if even

01:07:23.130 --> 01:07:25.210
if it goes to decision you know we never know

01:07:25.210 --> 01:07:27.809
this is a tough fight in my opinion this is kind

01:07:27.809 --> 01:07:31.190
of hard to tell yeah yeah i'm not i'm not super

01:07:31.190 --> 01:07:34.610
sure either way It's a classic boxer versus puncher.

01:07:35.530 --> 01:07:39.550
Yeah. It's a very good matchmaking. This card's

01:07:39.550 --> 01:07:41.949
nice. It's a fight that I wouldn't even think

01:07:41.949 --> 01:07:44.889
that would have gotten made, you know? It was

01:07:44.889 --> 01:07:46.389
random. This is probably one of the most random

01:07:46.389 --> 01:07:48.570
fights of the year. I mean, it's a good fight.

01:07:48.690 --> 01:07:51.190
No doubt about it, I think. But it's just random.

01:07:53.309 --> 01:07:56.429
I get the feeling that Pueyo has what it takes

01:07:56.429 --> 01:08:00.059
to win. Because Matias has been beaten. in a

01:08:00.059 --> 01:08:04.460
way that does fit in Pueyo's wheelhouse. So that's

01:08:04.460 --> 01:08:08.119
why I'm kind of leaning towards Pueyo. But Matias

01:08:08.119 --> 01:08:12.920
is a machine. That's not somebody I would want

01:08:12.920 --> 01:08:17.979
across the ring for me. He's scary, yeah. Yeah.

01:08:22.399 --> 01:08:27.090
And last, moving up to Shakur Stevenson. versus

01:08:27.090 --> 01:08:29.850
William Zepeda. They're consolidating the WBC

01:08:29.850 --> 01:08:37.510
lightweight title. What round does Shakur hurt

01:08:37.510 --> 01:08:40.189
his hand and then the fight becomes competitive?

01:08:43.289 --> 01:08:48.130
Man, I know some people were... I've seen very

01:08:48.130 --> 01:08:51.229
few people... It is out there. The time Zepeda's

01:08:51.229 --> 01:08:53.909
going to finish Shakur, but man, I... I just

01:08:53.909 --> 01:08:55.949
feel like this is going to be a domination by

01:08:55.949 --> 01:09:00.710
Shakur. Zepeda, what we saw in that farmer fight,

01:09:00.829 --> 01:09:03.609
was not convincing to me at all. Maybe prior

01:09:03.609 --> 01:09:06.170
to those two fights, I could have been persuaded

01:09:06.170 --> 01:09:09.390
that Zepeda has a chance, as I'm sure Saul will

01:09:09.390 --> 01:09:14.470
try to convince us soon. But I just feel like

01:09:14.470 --> 01:09:18.989
Shakur, just purely the eye test, a way, way

01:09:18.989 --> 01:09:23.020
better boxer. Outside of a fluke punch. that

01:09:23.020 --> 01:09:24.600
Shakur doesn't see, which, I mean, we know his

01:09:24.600 --> 01:09:26.840
defense is rock solid, so very unlikely. But

01:09:26.840 --> 01:09:29.359
outside of that, I think he just goes to, like,

01:09:29.359 --> 01:09:37.800
a pretty wide, unanimous decision. Yeah. I don't

01:09:37.800 --> 01:09:39.279
know if I want to start, but... Yeah, go ahead.

01:09:40.340 --> 01:09:42.659
I'm going to put a disclaimer out there, because

01:09:42.659 --> 01:09:44.319
I agree with everything Isaac said. I honestly

01:09:44.319 --> 01:09:48.279
think Shakur's going to win. Like, 100%. Like,

01:09:48.300 --> 01:09:51.340
well, not 100%. I think, like, 98 % sure that

01:09:51.340 --> 01:09:54.930
he's going to win. Because there's got to go

01:09:54.930 --> 01:09:59.510
to the car, sure. If, you know, the pay doesn't

01:09:59.510 --> 01:10:02.390
fight correctly. But I'll get to that right now.

01:10:02.430 --> 01:10:04.670
But I just want to put out there, I think Shakur

01:10:04.670 --> 01:10:09.210
is winning the fight. However, there's way too

01:10:09.210 --> 01:10:11.529
many, like, Shakur glazers to where I have to

01:10:11.529 --> 01:10:14.449
fucking, I have to be the evil, I have to be

01:10:14.449 --> 01:10:17.789
the evil opinion. You know, I have to say, like,

01:10:17.789 --> 01:10:46.270
I have to kind of... I think you're good. I mean,

01:10:46.289 --> 01:10:50.670
hey. Hey. I'll tell you this, too. This guy,

01:10:50.890 --> 01:10:54.869
this is his only shining light in this fight

01:10:54.869 --> 01:10:59.069
is that he's got a shit ton of volume. A whole

01:10:59.069 --> 01:11:00.989
bunch of volume. He's going to be throwing no

01:11:00.989 --> 01:11:03.670
matter what. And the thing is that Shakur, from

01:11:03.670 --> 01:11:08.649
what we know, doesn't have much power. And I

01:11:08.649 --> 01:11:10.829
don't know. I just feel like if he could just

01:11:10.829 --> 01:11:14.949
overload Shakur this crazy amount, he just doesn't

01:11:14.949 --> 01:11:17.500
care about... whatever's coming back to him.

01:11:17.539 --> 01:11:22.619
I think you can maybe hurt him once and possibly

01:11:22.619 --> 01:11:25.819
even get the knockout. Never know. And the thing

01:11:25.819 --> 01:11:27.500
is that Shakur's chin has also never been tested.

01:11:28.680 --> 01:11:32.539
Can we agree on that? Is that agreeable? Yeah,

01:11:32.579 --> 01:11:36.619
I think so. I'm trying to think. I don't recall

01:11:36.619 --> 01:11:39.779
a time he's been caught, really. And also, they're

01:11:39.779 --> 01:11:42.119
also the same height, too. And I think they have

01:11:42.119 --> 01:11:48.750
similar reach as well. I don't know if that's

01:11:48.750 --> 01:11:55.609
correct. Shakur is a 68 reach. Zepeda, 69 and

01:11:55.609 --> 01:11:58.250
a half. Oh, so he has a long reach. There you

01:11:58.250 --> 01:12:00.850
go. There's that, right, guys? I mean, come on.

01:12:01.149 --> 01:12:05.310
It's not like it's going to be like a baby in

01:12:05.310 --> 01:12:10.949
a hydrogen bomb, you know? I mean, I feel like,

01:12:10.949 --> 01:12:12.850
I just feel like, you know, Zepeda has a chance.

01:12:13.090 --> 01:12:15.800
And I'm going to be rooting for him. As much

01:12:15.800 --> 01:12:18.060
as I want to see Shakur fight Tank, I think it's

01:12:18.060 --> 01:12:22.199
more possible if Shakur loses this fight. To

01:12:22.199 --> 01:12:24.560
fight Tank, you know? There's that. There's that

01:12:24.560 --> 01:12:27.640
too. This is hard. This is really hard. I can't.

01:12:28.020 --> 01:12:32.680
I don't know. I just think there's a possibility.

01:12:32.979 --> 01:12:37.000
And I'm rooting for Sabita. I mean, if he can

01:12:37.000 --> 01:12:38.560
get Shakur out, that would be funny as hell.

01:12:39.579 --> 01:12:45.359
That would be funny as hell. Come on. I mean,

01:12:45.699 --> 01:12:51.260
that would genuinely, like, boxing Twitter would

01:12:51.260 --> 01:12:55.260
be insane if Zepeda was the one to beat Shakur.

01:12:55.680 --> 01:12:58.220
It would be, I mean, that'd be probably one of

01:12:58.220 --> 01:13:01.560
the biggest upsets this year in boxing if that

01:13:01.560 --> 01:13:03.979
were to actually happen. But I just think it's

01:13:03.979 --> 01:13:06.140
one of these things, it's a possibility I'm not

01:13:06.140 --> 01:13:09.079
even considering, to be honest. But, I mean,

01:13:09.100 --> 01:13:11.659
we'll see. Boxing has a way of humbling the fans

01:13:11.659 --> 01:13:15.050
at that time. I mean, hey, we didn't think Roche

01:13:15.050 --> 01:13:17.829
was going to win against Hank. I mean, he didn't

01:13:17.829 --> 01:13:23.310
win, but he won in our eyes. So, I mean, there's

01:13:23.310 --> 01:13:25.529
always that chance. I know the debate is not

01:13:25.529 --> 01:13:29.010
a skill, but, man, that volume. If he can overwhelm

01:13:29.010 --> 01:13:33.489
Shakur from a distance, I mean, the punch is

01:13:33.489 --> 01:13:35.590
not going to stop. I'll tell you that. The pain

01:13:35.590 --> 01:13:38.729
is going to bring the fight. And if it's really

01:13:38.729 --> 01:13:42.829
true what they said about... The shrinking ring,

01:13:42.869 --> 01:13:44.689
I don't know if that's bad. Oh, that's bullshit.

01:13:45.409 --> 01:13:48.529
I don't know if that's bullshit or not, but I

01:13:48.529 --> 01:13:51.810
will say, if that's real, then Zepeda has got

01:13:51.810 --> 01:13:55.630
a real shot there. You know? Well, I never know.

01:13:56.350 --> 01:13:58.810
Big if, yeah, it's a big if. The thing is, I

01:13:58.810 --> 01:14:08.010
do want Zepeda to win. I really do. Oof. I'm

01:14:08.010 --> 01:14:10.800
sold. I'm changing my pick. No, that's crazy.

01:14:10.859 --> 01:14:13.039
I didn't sell for sure. I didn't sell myself.

01:14:13.460 --> 01:14:15.439
I didn't sell myself. That was hard as hell.

01:14:15.720 --> 01:14:17.819
It was way easier to make a Floyd Schofield.

01:14:18.619 --> 01:14:21.319
I remember when they were going to fight, Floyd

01:14:21.319 --> 01:14:23.640
Schofield and Shakur. No, this was hard. That

01:14:23.640 --> 01:14:27.380
was kind of rough. Because even I myself don't

01:14:27.380 --> 01:14:29.640
even believe it. But I do want to pay her to

01:14:29.640 --> 01:14:31.199
win. That would be the funniest thing to see.

01:14:32.319 --> 01:14:36.180
That would be the funniest thing to see. Yeah.

01:14:38.600 --> 01:14:42.779
Woof. That's it. Anything more for the... This

01:14:42.779 --> 01:14:47.100
is a Golden Boy card, right? Yeah. Good card.

01:14:47.380 --> 01:14:51.619
Good card. I'm excited. All right. Just really
