Hedging all 00:01:05.180 --> 00:01:09.239 the bets. All the bets. And Shanada joining us 00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:13.480 once again. Yeah. Everybody has to listen to 00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:19.700 me like twice this week. Sucks to be them. Yeah, 00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:24.340 we might be getting a... A new voice on Before 00:01:24.340 --> 00:01:27.900 Dark. I'm excited. I hope it works out. Yeah, 00:01:27.939 --> 00:01:31.439 I think it will. Who's the... Are you allowed 00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.239 to say who's the new voice? Australian Jacob. 00:01:36.260 --> 00:01:42.299 Terramoana Jab. Terramoana? Yeah. Pretty good, 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.620 huh? Yeah, the time zones just work out a lot 00:01:45.620 --> 00:01:48.620 better than England. Because me and him are almost 00:01:48.620 --> 00:01:53.189 the same time. And then Leo just has to... adapt 00:01:53.189 --> 00:02:00.829 for us it's fine um there was also some mma but 00:02:00.829 --> 00:02:03.430 you'll have to check out ultimate effing casuals 00:02:03.430 --> 00:02:05.609 if you want to hear more about that just because 00:02:05.609 --> 00:02:14.090 oh speaking of the discord and mma um uh is it 00:02:14.090 --> 00:02:16.509 zoe i think it's zoe me and zoe have started 00:02:16.509 --> 00:02:19.490 watching the friday night fights from one fc 00:02:19.490 --> 00:02:23.169 and being active in the chat It's pretty fun. 00:02:23.449 --> 00:02:28.870 Oh, man. Finally. I talk about them all the time. 00:02:29.469 --> 00:02:33.069 I'm waiting for people to kick us into the MMA 00:02:33.069 --> 00:02:38.189 thread or room or whatever the fuck they're called 00:02:38.189 --> 00:02:40.750 in Discord, but they haven't done it yet, so 00:02:40.750 --> 00:02:43.930 we'll see. Well, if you're Night Crew, then... 00:02:43.930 --> 00:02:48.069 Yeah, there's less rules, Night Crew. It's mostly 00:02:48.069 --> 00:02:52.330 Zo and me and Vom. so Vom doesn't care. Yeah. 00:02:53.210 --> 00:02:55.069 I thought you were going to bring up Connor versus 00:02:55.069 --> 00:03:01.469 the Muckalai. Oh, yeah, the picture. Connor McWheener. 00:03:02.009 --> 00:03:06.650 Oh, man. I have not seen the unedited picture, 00:03:06.870 --> 00:03:10.469 and I don't want to. I haven't either. I've seen 00:03:10.469 --> 00:03:15.389 it. I'm getting the sense, just because a follow 00:03:15.389 --> 00:03:17.889 -up that people have been posting is tying a 00:03:17.889 --> 00:03:21.169 weight to a string. And attaching that to your 00:03:21.169 --> 00:03:26.650 piece. And that's what people are saying after 00:03:26.650 --> 00:03:33.229 they see McGregor's piece. That he does that 00:03:33.229 --> 00:03:41.509 for fun? To extend it, I think? Ridiculous. Honestly, 00:03:41.710 --> 00:03:43.930 I don't even know why they put it in the picture, 00:03:43.990 --> 00:03:51.139 Doug. Did they just show off, I think? We should 00:03:51.139 --> 00:03:53.819 have a new boxing show. Talk about fighters. 00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:00.099 Wing wings. Yep. There's a surprising amount 00:04:00.099 --> 00:04:03.300 of them that you can see if you want to. Yep. 00:04:05.620 --> 00:04:07.360 Boxers are dirty, dirty motherfuckers, I'll tell 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:09.099 you. Some of them are just some dirty, dirty 00:04:09.099 --> 00:04:13.620 motherfuckers. Nasty. No, I mean, if you're in 00:04:13.620 --> 00:04:17.699 Discord, do you see Roy's on a daily basis? Oh, 00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:23.899 yeah. If you want to know what we mean by seeing 00:04:23.899 --> 00:04:25.860 Roy on a daily basis, you're going to have to 00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:33.019 join Discord. RoyBonesJr. Slash Discord. All 00:04:33.019 --> 00:04:37.439 right. Let's get into a little bit of women's 00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:42.480 boxing. Because on July 11th, Netflix, most valuable 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.860 promotions, fucking Jake Paul does it again. 00:04:46.699 --> 00:04:53.040 Delivers another fucking scorcher. This was a 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.540 surprisingly good card. Yeah. A lot of decisions. 00:04:57.060 --> 00:05:00.459 I mean, what do you... It's a women's card. It's 00:05:00.459 --> 00:05:02.980 women's balking. You're going to get that. But 00:05:02.980 --> 00:05:07.540 still, it was a good card. Let's just go from 00:05:07.540 --> 00:05:12.339 the bottom up. I don't... Tam Tibble, I think 00:05:12.339 --> 00:05:17.920 it is. Stops Mary. Casamassa in the fifth. Ramla 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:21.600 Ali, UD over Lila Furtado. This was a bit of 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.259 a robbery. Was it? Wasn't it? Am I mixing them 00:05:26.259 --> 00:05:30.339 up? Ali did not win that fight. Even she was 00:05:30.339 --> 00:05:34.639 surprised. Is she related to the world famous? 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:39.800 Maybe that's why they dropped somebody. Ramla 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.160 Ali does have a really good backstory. I think 00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:45.879 that's why they push her so hard. She's a refugee 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:52.259 and stuff. Yeah. Yeah, I remember who you're 00:05:52.259 --> 00:05:55.279 talking about now. Yeah. Just went completely 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.360 blank on her for a second. But, like, back me 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.540 up. That was a robbery. Like, a pretty clear 00:06:01.540 --> 00:06:05.740 robbery. Ramla leaves the house. I probably got 00:06:05.740 --> 00:06:09.660 the nod from, like, before the card started. 00:06:09.660 --> 00:06:13.060 Like, hey, this is our girl, so... Yeah, I'm 00:06:13.060 --> 00:06:17.430 sure that's what happened. But, like... She's 00:06:17.430 --> 00:06:19.529 not that good, and they're really, really pushing 00:06:19.529 --> 00:06:21.610 her because they're gonna make a movie at some 00:06:21.610 --> 00:06:25.610 point. Like, refugee girl gets into boxing after 00:06:25.610 --> 00:06:31.709 moving to the UK. Yada, yada, yada. From Mogadishu. 00:06:32.269 --> 00:06:36.490 Yeah. She made some borderline racist comment 00:06:36.490 --> 00:06:42.629 about how even the Mexican judges saw that she 00:06:42.629 --> 00:06:46.110 won, except, like, I'm pretty sure... for tato's 00:06:46.110 --> 00:06:51.990 brazilian so like anyway yeah she's brazilian 00:06:51.990 --> 00:06:59.589 yeah um interim wbc super lightweight title chantelle 00:06:59.589 --> 00:07:05.970 cameron pulls it off over jessica camara fun 00:07:05.970 --> 00:07:11.730 uh sure real quick yeah go ahead yeah i didn't 00:07:11.730 --> 00:07:15.379 watch this card Okay. It's all right. I tried 00:07:15.379 --> 00:07:18.779 washing it too. I turned it off. That's all right. 00:07:18.819 --> 00:07:23.779 We'll bring you back in for the ring three. Yeah. 00:07:24.620 --> 00:07:28.959 Sharnika Johnson, Neeks, stops Sharetta Metcalf 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.639 in the ninth. I believe this was a undisputed 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.660 unification. This was the final fight to make 00:07:36.660 --> 00:07:42.240 the four -piece crown. Yeah. This was a pretty 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.779 good fight, though. Or I thought it was pretty 00:07:44.779 --> 00:07:48.199 good. I missed Sharnika. She was one of the main 00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:50.920 ones on the undercard I wanted to see. Is this 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.180 an upset? Shadesha Green over Savannah Marshall. 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.740 Yes, it is. And I'm the only one who picked her 00:07:58.740 --> 00:08:02.240 in the pick lead. I picked Savannah Marshall. 00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:09.120 Everybody. Why did you pick different? Because 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.480 I don't think Savannah Marshall's that good, 00:08:11.620 --> 00:08:16.279 to be honest. Unless you're British, most people's 00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:18.720 exposure to her is just the Clarissa Shields 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:23.819 fight, I would expect. Yeah, I think I've seen 00:08:23.819 --> 00:08:25.819 a few of her fights. I watch a lot of those British 00:08:25.819 --> 00:08:29.920 cards, but I just... Shadeza Green's got more 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:35.120 power. Yeah. I thought she was going to hurt 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.269 her, and... I think that's what happened. She 00:08:37.269 --> 00:08:39.330 hurt her and then Savannah Marshall's output 00:08:39.330 --> 00:08:46.809 went down. Alicia Baumgartner turns in a performance. 00:08:47.610 --> 00:08:50.389 One of the performances of her entire career. 00:08:51.669 --> 00:08:54.190 Not that good of one. Yeah, against Jennifer 00:08:54.190 --> 00:08:58.669 Miranda. Undisputed Super Featherweight title 00:08:58.669 --> 00:09:00.830 was on the line. Or championship was on the line. 00:09:01.149 --> 00:09:05.110 Fucking... You got to keep your stuff. Congratulations. 00:09:08.110 --> 00:09:10.389 Would not recommend this fight. I actually thought 00:09:10.389 --> 00:09:12.210 this one was going to be fun and it was not. 00:09:12.330 --> 00:09:15.590 I expected it would have been just because Baumgartner 00:09:15.590 --> 00:09:22.789 is like that. Yeah. Three belt unification at 00:09:22.789 --> 00:09:27.330 super bantamweight. Ellie Scottney beats Yamileth 00:09:27.330 --> 00:09:33.639 Mercado. I didn't see this one. It was alright. 00:09:33.779 --> 00:09:38.779 It was what you expect from women's boxing. Yeah. 00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:44.200 Not to be that person, but not that exciting. 00:09:46.460 --> 00:09:48.940 You know what else wasn't that exciting? Very 00:09:48.940 --> 00:09:52.620 surprisingly, Katie Taylor versus Amanda Serrano. 00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:58.340 Katie Taylor wins once again. This was a lot 00:09:58.340 --> 00:10:02.669 more convincing. I'm surprised. that this was 00:10:02.669 --> 00:10:06.470 a majority decision. I don't know how you could 00:10:06.470 --> 00:10:11.350 score to draw, personally. I think they really 00:10:11.350 --> 00:10:15.009 wanted Amanda Serrano to win this one. Like, 00:10:15.009 --> 00:10:23.269 they. The boxing they. Yeah. MVP? Probably. If 00:10:23.269 --> 00:10:27.590 nobody else. I'm already hearing rumors about 00:10:27.590 --> 00:10:31.100 a fourth. Nobody wants that. This is done. Both 00:10:31.100 --> 00:10:32.720 of them said in their post -fight interviews 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:36.159 that they didn't want to. Yeah, I just mean, 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:41.559 like, the internet has... That's dumb. Taylor 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:45.580 won all of them. Like, just... Whether you think 00:10:45.580 --> 00:10:49.000 she's not that good or not, she won. So, deal 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:54.600 with it. Is she in any current fighter? Yeah, 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.620 I'm pretty sure Katie Taylor is. Yeah. Anything 00:10:58.620 --> 00:11:02.779 more for Ladies' Night? I said before, and I 00:11:02.779 --> 00:11:05.299 stand by it, I don't like the all -women's cards. 00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:09.440 Yeah, people are going to watch for the rest 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:12.860 of the year. Yeah, there's that. And it's just 00:11:12.860 --> 00:11:17.039 way better if you mix them. Like, even it... 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.840 A lot of women's fights are not that exciting. 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:22.779 And when you try and fill a whole card, you end 00:11:22.779 --> 00:11:26.860 up with a lot of not very exciting fights. Just... 00:11:26.860 --> 00:11:30.360 But... I mean, that happens on men's cards, too. 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.019 It's not just women's cards. But it's better 00:11:33.019 --> 00:11:41.340 if it's mixed, I think. Yeah, I agree. Let's 00:11:41.340 --> 00:11:45.720 skip the Ring 3 really quick to talk about Pro 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:50.279 Box at the Safe Martirina in Fresno. A bunch 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:53.120 of stuff happened. I picked it up here. Carlos 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.970 Balderas. Gets the stoppage. Fucking last second 00:11:56.970 --> 00:12:04.210 over Salvador Brisseno. Fucking Lux Media favorite 00:12:04.210 --> 00:12:08.629 Katsuma Akitsugi. UD over Jonas Sultan. Jonas 00:12:08.629 --> 00:12:13.450 was tough. Yeah. But I think it was very clearly 00:12:13.450 --> 00:12:18.730 Akitsugi took over about round six, maybe. Yeah, 00:12:18.750 --> 00:12:21.129 I was going to say like four or five. But yeah, 00:12:21.210 --> 00:12:24.759 regardless. Yeah. Akitsugi continues to look 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.879 good. They're not all going to be stoppages. 00:12:27.779 --> 00:12:31.720 Well, those two stoppages on Pro Box before are 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:34.000 the only two knockouts of his entire career. 00:12:36.220 --> 00:12:42.100 That's right. One of my personal favorites, Senbatar 00:12:42.100 --> 00:12:51.600 Erdenabat. It's a UD over Humberto Galindo. Erdenabat. 00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:57.220 I think that the height reach was bothering him 00:12:57.220 --> 00:13:00.259 a bit. It took him a little bit of time to figure 00:13:00.259 --> 00:13:05.240 it out. I think this is not the most exciting 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.039 performance or the most flashy, but he got the 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.159 job done. He'll be better for the experience, 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:20.570 I'll say, having the faith in Zemmatar. I walked 00:13:20.570 --> 00:13:23.169 away from my screen for Eric Badillo versus Gerardo 00:13:23.169 --> 00:13:28.649 Zapata. Did you watch this? No, I actually haven't 00:13:28.649 --> 00:13:30.789 got the last two fights yet. I didn't know I 00:13:30.789 --> 00:13:33.009 was going to be on the podcast today. Ah, well. 00:13:34.009 --> 00:13:36.269 I was going to watch them in time for our podcast. 00:13:36.730 --> 00:13:42.230 Yeah. Francisco Verón versus Vladimir Hernandez. 00:13:43.590 --> 00:13:49.879 Vladimir... Day late, dollar short. pretty much 00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:54.519 every step of the way from the beginning. It 00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:59.679 was unfortunate because I like Vlad, but... Just 00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:02.379 an overall schooling? Yeah, I would say that 00:14:02.379 --> 00:14:05.940 would be the category to put it in. I wouldn't 00:14:05.940 --> 00:14:09.779 call it one of the schoolings of the year yet, 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:15.659 but it's a good one. But, once again, Probox 00:14:15.659 --> 00:14:19.480 delivers. Absolutely. When I saw this card, it 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:25.539 was all pretty fun. Yeah. Balderas. I was really 00:14:25.539 --> 00:14:31.440 happy to see him get a stoppage. Alright. On 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.440 to ring three at the Louis Armstrong Stadium 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:40.720 in Queens, New York. Fucking bottom up. Here 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:44.840 we go. Reito Tsutsumi stops Michael Ruiz in the 00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:51.629 second. This is the house fighter. From his debut 00:14:51.629 --> 00:14:55.350 to now, he's signed to the ring, I guess, as 00:14:55.350 --> 00:15:04.090 the promotional entity that it is now. I missed 00:15:04.090 --> 00:15:08.149 this one. I didn't wake up early enough. It was 00:15:08.149 --> 00:15:14.820 pretty good. Got him out. I do think Rayito's 00:15:14.820 --> 00:15:20.379 the better of the two brothers, for sure. Hayato's 00:15:20.379 --> 00:15:25.139 kind of mid, in my opinion, to be honest. I only 00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:28.340 know his name because you know his name. Yeah. 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:34.419 He often fights on the Ioka cards. Almost always. 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:43.559 David Morel. Split decision? Question mark? over 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:54.019 Imam Khatiaf. Honestly, I'm still thinking about 00:15:54.019 --> 00:15:58.799 it, honestly. Because as much as I would like 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:03.360 to say that Morel deserved it, he did not. I 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:08.700 believe that Imam Khatiaf won the fight. It was 00:16:08.700 --> 00:16:11.340 a pretty close fight, first of all. So I wouldn't 00:16:11.340 --> 00:16:14.559 say it's a robbery. per se too close to fight 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.740 two color robbery however i believe they did 00:16:17.740 --> 00:16:20.940 favor morel just because i mean it's morel there's 00:16:20.940 --> 00:16:25.159 an unknown unknown russian guy but i did a mom 00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:29.740 kate gave david morel the hardest fight in his 00:16:29.740 --> 00:16:33.700 career craze crazy to say that but yeah when 00:16:33.700 --> 00:16:36.379 he's coming he's coming off of benavidez he's 00:16:36.379 --> 00:16:39.100 coming off of benavidez he did he knocked him 00:16:39.100 --> 00:16:43.519 down so we better be just gonna do So the thing 00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:47.580 is that I don't want to say that Morel didn't 00:16:47.580 --> 00:16:49.200 take the fight seriously because I believe he 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:51.539 did. But I don't think he took this fight as 00:16:51.539 --> 00:16:55.700 seriously as the David Benavidez fight. I see 00:16:55.700 --> 00:16:59.600 what you mean. He was doing some dumb things 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:01.679 in there. That's how he got knocked down, being 00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:05.000 a fucking idiot. Yeah, he was being a dumb motherfucker 00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:08.460 and got knocked out. Or got knocked down. And 00:17:08.460 --> 00:17:13.509 I don't know how... Imam Khatia really lost. 00:17:14.210 --> 00:17:19.589 I think it was 115 -113. Right? It's a 10 -rounder, 00:17:19.630 --> 00:17:30.289 so 95 -94 for him. Yeah, so 95 -94, which I don't 00:17:30.289 --> 00:17:33.109 know. It just don't sound right to me. That would 00:17:33.109 --> 00:17:37.329 be a draw, except for the knockdown. Yeah. The 00:17:37.329 --> 00:17:43.849 95 -94s are... but that 96 -93 with the knockdown, 00:17:44.089 --> 00:17:48.690 that judge only gave Katya three rounds. That's 00:17:48.690 --> 00:17:53.069 a madness scorecard in my opinion. I think at 00:17:53.069 --> 00:17:55.789 most it should have been a draw. It should have 00:17:55.789 --> 00:17:57.710 been a draw. It can't be a draw because there 00:17:57.710 --> 00:17:59.950 was a knockdown. It would be very hard to make 00:17:59.950 --> 00:18:02.369 it a draw. That would be pretty tough. Well, 00:18:02.390 --> 00:18:03.690 they could have found a way because honestly, 00:18:03.849 --> 00:18:09.109 it deserved a good draw because Emerald did not 00:18:09.109 --> 00:18:11.519 deserve that one. That win, in my opinion. I'm 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:14.859 kind of glad he won. But at the same time, I'm 00:18:14.859 --> 00:18:18.160 not. Because, I mean, I really do think that 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:21.079 Imam Khatia should have won. Yeah, I think they 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.880 should do it again. I'd watch it again. It was 00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:27.660 a fun fight. It was a fun fight, but I also think 00:18:27.660 --> 00:18:30.339 that David Morel, all the fighters, we'll get 00:18:30.339 --> 00:18:31.700 to this right now. I'll talk about it at the 00:18:31.700 --> 00:18:34.200 end. I think all the fighters were also encouraged 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:36.500 to not, quote -unquote, do the Tom and Jerry 00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:41.789 running. You know? I don't think these two would 00:18:41.789 --> 00:18:45.329 have anyways, would they? I think David Murrell 00:18:45.329 --> 00:18:49.950 should have boxed better. The thing is that David 00:18:49.950 --> 00:18:52.390 Murrell was doing really good on the inside, 00:18:52.589 --> 00:18:57.369 but I think he found his kind of neat, what's 00:18:57.369 --> 00:18:59.890 the word, kind of on the game plan a little too 00:18:59.890 --> 00:19:01.950 late because at the end he was rope -a -doping. 00:19:02.569 --> 00:19:04.490 He was sitting on the ropes and then would counter. 00:19:05.790 --> 00:19:07.930 and I think he did a pretty good job doing that 00:19:07.930 --> 00:19:09.490 to the point where I think if it went two more 00:19:09.490 --> 00:19:13.730 rounds, he could have knocked him out. But it's 00:19:13.730 --> 00:19:15.410 a shame that this was a 10 -rounder, you know? 00:19:15.849 --> 00:19:18.369 Yeah. I think it deserved two more rounds, for 00:19:18.369 --> 00:19:22.170 sure. But we'll never know how it goes again, 00:19:22.309 --> 00:19:24.589 because I doubt that Muriel's going to do a rematch 00:19:24.589 --> 00:19:27.529 with this guy. They're not going to take it. 00:19:27.569 --> 00:19:30.589 It was too hard to fight. Yeah. High risk, low 00:19:30.589 --> 00:19:37.849 reward. I think... Katya's stock went up with 00:19:37.849 --> 00:19:39.849 this one, though. I'm pretty sure. Dramatically. 00:19:40.190 --> 00:19:45.529 And I know that on the last podcast, it was me 00:19:45.529 --> 00:19:49.670 and Isaac and Leo. I don't know. Which one of 00:19:49.670 --> 00:19:51.769 you guys said it was going to be an easier fight? 00:19:52.869 --> 00:19:56.990 I did. I know. Were you surprised? Were you surprised 00:19:56.990 --> 00:19:59.589 when you saw it? Yes. I thought this was supposed 00:19:59.589 --> 00:20:02.750 to be a get back for David Morrell. Like, you 00:20:02.750 --> 00:20:08.369 had the... A tough fight with Benavidez. You 00:20:08.369 --> 00:20:11.630 want to get back in the win column, and you want 00:20:11.630 --> 00:20:16.150 to have something emphatic to kind of reestablish 00:20:16.150 --> 00:20:19.930 your confidence in yourself. So that's what I 00:20:19.930 --> 00:20:22.089 thought Imam Katsaev was, was a guy who's tough. 00:20:22.230 --> 00:20:25.990 He looks tough on paper, but who really is this 00:20:25.990 --> 00:20:28.569 guy anyway? He's never fought outside of fucking 00:20:28.569 --> 00:20:34.440 Russia or Serbia. I wasn't expecting much, but 00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:37.640 I'm very pleasantly surprised. I didn't want 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.119 to see him again. I'd like to. He's been fighting 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.019 out of Canada. He must be associated with, uh, 00:20:44.180 --> 00:20:48.059 what's his name? Who's the right? Arthur better 00:20:48.059 --> 00:20:53.900 be a eye of the butthole. Well, I mean, he's 00:20:53.900 --> 00:20:56.480 been fighting in Montreal and Quebec and he's 00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.019 Russian. So I assume he has some sort of connection. 00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:10.460 Trying to remember the name of the dude. Is it 00:21:10.460 --> 00:21:14.680 not? Oh, yeah. I don't know the trainer's names 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:18.160 and stuff. But, like, it is Arthur Beterbiev, 00:21:18.180 --> 00:21:21.720 right? That's in Canada now? Yeah. I assume they 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:27.299 have some sort of connection. Because why else 00:21:27.299 --> 00:21:30.700 would Russians go boxing Montreal? Of all places. 00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:39.130 Yeah. Yeah. Anything more for this one? Nope. 00:21:39.190 --> 00:21:42.329 All right. Subrio Matias. Majority decision over 00:21:42.329 --> 00:21:49.509 Alberto Puello. Loses his WBC title. Subrio Matias 00:21:49.509 --> 00:21:52.890 is a champion once again. This was a bit controversial. 00:21:53.549 --> 00:21:56.650 Yeah, I was going to say. This was like a game 00:21:56.650 --> 00:22:02.670 of two halves, right? Where Matias... How did 00:22:02.670 --> 00:22:08.089 you see it playing out? You know, I believe that 00:22:08.089 --> 00:22:12.289 I do think that Matias did deserve the win. It 00:22:12.289 --> 00:22:16.509 was also a very close, hard -fought fight. But 00:22:16.509 --> 00:22:19.589 the thing is that, and you're right, that the 00:22:19.589 --> 00:22:23.150 first half that Matias dominated, he dominated 00:22:23.150 --> 00:22:26.069 pretty hard. I would say starting round eight 00:22:26.069 --> 00:22:27.549 is when he started slowing down considerably. 00:22:28.589 --> 00:22:31.329 And so all those rounds, I think, went to play 00:22:31.329 --> 00:22:35.000 after about round eight. I don't know. It's just... 00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:38.259 This was a very good fight, by the way. Not to 00:22:38.259 --> 00:22:42.160 mention, this was a very fun fight. Except it's 00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:45.980 just... I don't know. I don't think it's a robbery. 00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:50.140 I think Matias did deserve the win. But that's 00:22:50.140 --> 00:22:54.019 my opinion. In the beginning, too. Yeah. While 00:22:54.019 --> 00:22:55.880 they were still kind of figuring each other out. 00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:58.700 Matias did have more success, though. You're 00:22:58.700 --> 00:23:03.769 right. It's not so one -sided. Like... front 00:23:03.769 --> 00:23:08.369 and back on the scorecards like I kind of thought 00:23:08.369 --> 00:23:13.069 it was too it it was rounds three to seven that 00:23:13.069 --> 00:23:17.029 Matias really won a lot of people gave one to 00:23:17.029 --> 00:23:22.230 um Pueo yeah me too but Matias won round 10 on 00:23:22.230 --> 00:23:24.890 every scorecard and I think that made a big difference 00:23:24.890 --> 00:23:27.710 and he won round nine on the two scorecards he 00:23:27.710 --> 00:23:30.509 won so it was actually round nines and ten that 00:23:30.509 --> 00:23:35.279 won him the fight The thing with Matias, I would 00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:37.859 say, is that he implemented his game very well. 00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:41.440 And honestly, I'm kind of happy that his stock 00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:43.079 went back up. Because, I mean, Matias is not 00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:45.000 a boring fighter. He always brings the fight, 00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:49.400 you know? I like Matias. He's fun. Whereas Puello, 00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:52.500 I mean, I think Puello's an exciting fighter 00:23:52.500 --> 00:23:56.700 to an extent. However, I think, I don't like 00:23:56.700 --> 00:23:59.819 that he lost the last fight, in my opinion. And 00:23:59.819 --> 00:24:03.690 that he got a decision. They robbed my boy Sandor 00:24:03.690 --> 00:24:07.890 again. Yeah. They keep giving him decisions. 00:24:08.150 --> 00:24:11.130 Pueo, you know. I don't know. I'm kind of happy 00:24:11.130 --> 00:24:14.069 that... And this is not to Pueo because Pueo 00:24:14.069 --> 00:24:17.049 is a boss. He deserves respect. But it's more 00:24:17.049 --> 00:24:19.529 so like the promotional company that they just 00:24:19.529 --> 00:24:24.410 kept doing bullshit, you know, robberies. You 00:24:24.410 --> 00:24:27.329 know, allegedly. Close decisions always going 00:24:27.329 --> 00:24:34.099 to Pueo. Yeah. And so I'm kind of glad that it's 00:24:34.099 --> 00:24:36.900 in a different hands. Honestly, I would love 00:24:36.900 --> 00:24:41.740 to see Mateus fight someone else besides Donald 00:24:41.740 --> 00:24:45.680 Smith. Oh, God, they had it there. I forgot about 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:51.940 that. Oh, yeah, I did too. That's... Dude, nobody 00:24:51.940 --> 00:24:55.640 wants to see that shit. Nobody wants to see that. 00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:00.150 I don't think it mattered who won. No, it didn't. 00:25:00.190 --> 00:25:02.529 Dalton Smith was getting the winner of this fight. 00:25:05.029 --> 00:25:11.470 I kind of hope Matias, like, KOs him early. I 00:25:11.470 --> 00:25:15.829 will say that I think that the whole debacle 00:25:15.829 --> 00:25:18.849 with Dalton Smith is just pretty funny to see 00:25:18.849 --> 00:25:21.250 live because I don't know exactly how it went, 00:25:21.309 --> 00:25:23.049 but wasn't Matias saying, like, no, I don't want 00:25:23.049 --> 00:25:24.809 to fight? And then Turkey was like, yes, you 00:25:24.809 --> 00:25:28.140 will fight my brother. Something like that, yeah. 00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:33.599 I think Matias was just confused. You wouldn't 00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:35.619 fight my brother. You wouldn't fight Dalton Smith. 00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:39.420 That's obviously a favor to Eddie Hearn. That's 00:25:39.420 --> 00:25:44.220 the only way I see it. Or whoever promotes Dalton 00:25:44.220 --> 00:25:45.500 Smith. I'm pretty sure Eddie Hearn promotes Dalton 00:25:45.500 --> 00:25:50.500 Smith, right? I think so. Sounds right. Yeah, 00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:51.960 so I'm pretty sure it's a favor to Eddie Hearn 00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:54.500 that he's fighting Dalton Smith. Is Dalton Smith 00:25:54.500 --> 00:25:58.349 really the number one? Contender? It don't seem 00:25:58.349 --> 00:26:03.230 like it. For the WBC belt? Yeah, for the WBC. 00:26:04.009 --> 00:26:06.930 Dalton Smith hasn't... If he is, he doesn't deserve 00:26:06.930 --> 00:26:10.450 it. What's his best win? Like in Way Over the 00:26:10.450 --> 00:26:13.890 Hill, Jose Zepeda? Like, who the fuck has he... 00:26:13.890 --> 00:26:18.549 No, but really, like, look at his record. Who 00:26:18.549 --> 00:26:24.859 the hell is Matthew Germain or Wally Uiza? Wally 00:26:24.859 --> 00:26:29.200 Wheeler. Who the hell is he? Sam Maxwell. Billy 00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:36.980 Allington. Tommy Noogie. Like, random nude. Dalton 00:26:36.980 --> 00:26:40.599 Smith is number one. Sandra Martin. Isaac Cruz. 00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:46.240 Arnold Barbosa. Liam Parrow. But the WBC is crazy. 00:26:46.579 --> 00:26:50.190 Yeah. Dalton Smith does not deserve that ranking. 00:26:50.509 --> 00:26:53.930 He has beaten fucking nobody. Literally, the 00:26:53.930 --> 00:26:57.170 only name on his resume I recognize is Jose Zepeda, 00:26:57.309 --> 00:27:01.849 and he fought him in 2024. I love Jose Zepeda, 00:27:01.970 --> 00:27:05.890 but in 2024, he was not good. Another thing, 00:27:05.910 --> 00:27:07.509 too, I think that San Ramon should get another 00:27:07.509 --> 00:27:10.329 shot at the final eliminator if he is ranked 00:27:10.329 --> 00:27:14.329 number two. I don't think that Dalton Smith really 00:27:14.329 --> 00:27:17.220 became the mandatory, right? He didn't fight 00:27:17.220 --> 00:27:18.539 a final eliminator, right? He didn't fight an 00:27:18.539 --> 00:27:23.559 eliminator. He has the WBC silver. For whatever 00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:25.900 that counts. It's a glorified mandatory challenger 00:27:25.900 --> 00:27:29.779 spot. He beat some fucking weirdo from Quebec. 00:27:30.460 --> 00:27:34.460 Like... This is like some WB... Not WB, like 00:27:34.460 --> 00:27:37.619 IBF shit right here. This is not WBC. I mean, 00:27:37.619 --> 00:27:39.940 that kind of shows you the standing of the division. 00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:44.380 Sander Martin... Fucking outpoints Dalton Smith 00:27:44.380 --> 00:27:48.819 all night, every night, seven days a week. Lin 00:27:48.819 --> 00:27:53.339 in shambles. Lin knows it's true. What happened 00:27:53.339 --> 00:27:54.880 to Gary Antoine Russell in the rankings, dude? 00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:58.920 He has the WBA belt, so he doesn't get put into 00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:02.359 their rankings. But he fought for the WBC, right? 00:28:02.460 --> 00:28:06.880 The WBC. He did, yes. That's what I'm saying. 00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:08.579 Maybe he just stopped paying for it or something, 00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:12.220 dude, but I don't know. I think that... I think 00:28:12.220 --> 00:28:16.180 Matias and Gary Antoine Russell should do a unification 00:28:16.180 --> 00:28:19.880 bout. That would be a really fun fight. I think 00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:24.640 Matias loses that one. Yeah, I don't know. I 00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:27.079 don't know, because... I mean, Gary Antoine Russell 00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:33.180 is a hard fighter to fight against, but... Matias 00:28:33.180 --> 00:28:36.720 always has a puncher's chance, for sure. That, 00:28:36.740 --> 00:28:39.599 but Matias always comes forward, dude. He doesn't 00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:43.319 go back. Ryo went back. Boyle went back. You 00:28:43.319 --> 00:28:45.420 know, all these other guys that fought GAR went 00:28:45.420 --> 00:28:49.059 back. But Matias, I know for sure, will not fight 00:28:49.059 --> 00:28:50.359 on the back foot because he can't even fight 00:28:50.359 --> 00:28:54.599 on the front foot that well. He can do it okay. 00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:03.420 Anything more for Superhero Matias? I hope he 00:29:03.420 --> 00:29:06.660 gets a better fight than Dalton Smith. I expect 00:29:06.660 --> 00:29:09.359 this will be better than Dalton Smith as well. 00:29:10.730 --> 00:29:14.809 All right, Shakur Stevenson versus William Zepeda. 00:29:17.650 --> 00:29:22.109 Look how they massacred my boy. Is that a good 00:29:22.109 --> 00:29:26.509 meme to put up here? I don't know, man. I think 00:29:26.509 --> 00:29:30.309 Zepeda did better than people expected him to. 00:29:31.190 --> 00:29:34.690 And this is the one where the Tom and Jerry talk 00:29:34.690 --> 00:29:37.569 really changed the fight. Shakur actually decided 00:29:37.569 --> 00:29:40.359 to stand and fucking fight this time. And it 00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:43.740 was exciting. Like, even I have to say. He was 00:29:43.740 --> 00:29:47.240 fucking brilliant in the pocket. Yeah. Why don't 00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:50.359 you do that more, dog? Exactly. This just makes 00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:53.440 me, like, pissed off. Like, so you can do this. 00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:57.299 You just don't. You just don't want to. Well, 00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:00.259 the thing is, let me tell you this. I ate my 00:30:00.259 --> 00:30:03.079 words that night. I ate my words all night. Because 00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:06.599 I'll tell you this. I talked about this last 00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:11.500 podcast, too. I know Shakur is... But the thing 00:30:11.500 --> 00:30:19.359 is that I succumb to the noise. I will admit 00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:21.299 that. I succumb to the noise of people saying 00:30:21.299 --> 00:30:24.240 he's a boring fighter. He can still be a boring 00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:26.980 fighter, but that boy can't fight. He has heart. 00:30:27.779 --> 00:30:31.299 He can be scrappy. So from here on out, I'm going 00:30:31.299 --> 00:30:33.160 to stop calling him a boring fighter. Because 00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:35.680 I know he can't be. If he chooses to be a boring 00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:36.660 fighter in the future, that's different than 00:30:36.660 --> 00:30:38.460 actually being a boring fighter. You know what 00:30:38.460 --> 00:30:40.500 I mean? Does that make sense? No, I disagree. 00:30:40.740 --> 00:30:42.859 Choosing to be boring still makes you boring. 00:30:44.019 --> 00:30:45.859 Well, I understand that, but he has the ability 00:30:45.859 --> 00:30:47.920 to not be boring, is what I'm saying. I've always 00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:50.400 said he has the ability, he just chooses not 00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:53.839 to. And this proves it. And it makes me angry. 00:30:54.500 --> 00:30:57.559 The thing is that with Zepeda, I will say this, 00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:01.140 that Zepeda, you guys can disagree, I think that 00:31:01.140 --> 00:31:05.400 he rocked Shakur hard in round, I think, four? 00:31:05.779 --> 00:31:09.910 Is that the three or four? Zepeda did. Yeah, 00:31:10.049 --> 00:31:12.509 he hurt him. I know what round you're talking 00:31:12.509 --> 00:31:15.470 about. He rocked Shakur super hard. That got 00:31:15.470 --> 00:31:17.390 him off balance. People say he was off balance. 00:31:17.950 --> 00:31:20.589 I think the punch is what got him off balance. 00:31:20.630 --> 00:31:25.390 It's what rocked him. And I think if someone 00:31:25.390 --> 00:31:28.569 with a lot more power than that, you know, I 00:31:28.569 --> 00:31:30.829 don't know what would happen. I'm like Tank, 00:31:30.970 --> 00:31:32.609 you know, but we'll talk about that in a bit. 00:31:33.329 --> 00:31:36.289 Yeah, because Zepeda's a volume guy. He's not 00:31:36.289 --> 00:31:39.089 really a power guy. I don't think Zepeda hits 00:31:39.089 --> 00:31:43.569 super hard. No, no, no. He never stops throwing. 00:31:44.730 --> 00:31:48.329 Oh, yeah. Zepeda did a lot better in my eyes 00:31:48.329 --> 00:31:52.069 than even what I was thinking, but I think that 00:31:52.069 --> 00:31:55.970 Zepeda's stock kind of went up a little bit, 00:31:56.029 --> 00:31:58.950 if that makes any sense, because, I mean, yeah, 00:31:58.990 --> 00:32:02.619 he didn't do the best. Obviously, he... Did it 00:32:02.619 --> 00:32:04.099 beat Shakur, but you know what? He gave Shakur 00:32:04.099 --> 00:32:07.059 his hardest fight. You know? So they can still 00:32:07.059 --> 00:32:09.859 use him for other future fights. You know, it 00:32:09.859 --> 00:32:13.819 wasn't like he lost horribly. Oh, yeah. No, I 00:32:13.819 --> 00:32:18.059 don't think this really hurt Zepeda. Zepeda's 00:32:18.059 --> 00:32:22.319 reputation. I think everyone expected him to 00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:26.339 lose. Yeah. But honestly, he lost a lot less 00:32:26.339 --> 00:32:29.460 worse than what I expected. A lot of people also 00:32:29.460 --> 00:32:31.140 thought he was going to get knocked out. What? 00:32:34.019 --> 00:32:36.940 A bunch of people were saying that. What the 00:32:36.940 --> 00:32:42.039 fuck? That is just absurd. Yeah, I couldn't see 00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:46.539 how that would happen. Shakur put on a great 00:32:46.539 --> 00:32:50.500 fight. Shakur threw hard punches that fight. 00:32:50.819 --> 00:32:55.640 That was beautiful. And he didn't break his hand. 00:32:56.140 --> 00:32:58.079 Yeah, exactly. That was some of the most beautiful 00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:01.319 fighting I've seen in a while. Standing punch 00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:06.599 in the pocket like that? It is... The scores 00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:09.819 would suggest that Stevenson put on, like, an 00:33:09.819 --> 00:33:16.079 absolute clinic. 118 -110 times 2, 119 -109. 00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:19.400 Like, that's the best scores they gave him? The 00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:24.319 game was 10 -2? Yeah, that's ridiculous. I think 00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:27.640 Zepeda won at least three rounds. Yeah. He won 00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:33.480 two, three, and four, in my opinion. Fans also 00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:38.799 gave him two, three, and four as well. One judge 00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:41.400 gave him seven and one judge gave him eight. 00:33:43.460 --> 00:33:48.180 Yeah. I know Shakur won, but that seems like 00:33:48.180 --> 00:33:49.460 a little bit of favoritism. I'm not going to 00:33:49.460 --> 00:33:55.299 lie. Yeah, it does. I wonder where Shakur goes 00:33:55.299 --> 00:33:58.160 from here now, though, because he's a free agent. 00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:03.460 That could only mean one thing. Well, he can't... 00:34:03.460 --> 00:34:08.760 If Tank can stay out of jail... It's gotta be 00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:10.880 a Tank fight, I'll tell you, because Tank doesn't 00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:14.320 have to fight Roach again, right? If the fight's 00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:18.159 off, if the fight's really off, you know, you 00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:20.960 can just wait and fight your crew, and then fight 00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:25.280 Roach after. You know? Well, isn't Tank fighting 00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:30.239 Jake Paul? Yeah, but they're... I don't know. 00:34:30.750 --> 00:34:34.349 I would hope that Tank fights Shakur. I really 00:34:34.349 --> 00:34:37.650 want to see that fight now. I do think, I keep 00:34:37.650 --> 00:34:39.309 flip -flopping, because I would say that Tank 00:34:39.309 --> 00:34:41.929 would beat Shakur. Now I think that Shakur has 00:34:41.929 --> 00:34:44.730 the ability to beat Tank. You know, like, he 00:34:44.730 --> 00:34:48.230 can. Based on what you saw. Based on what I saw, 00:34:48.309 --> 00:34:51.949 like, he could fucking beat Tank. Especially 00:34:51.949 --> 00:34:54.389 after the Roche try, too. I was like, well, with 00:34:54.389 --> 00:34:58.050 what Roche did to him, that's Lamont Roche. Shakur's 00:34:58.050 --> 00:34:59.940 a different beast, you know? Shakur's a whole 00:34:59.940 --> 00:35:03.760 different animal. I think that if Tank catches 00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:08.380 Shakur, possibly Shakur can go down. But we'll 00:35:08.380 --> 00:35:09.920 see when that fight happens. If that fight even 00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:13.400 happens, which I kind of doubt. But I hope it 00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:18.400 happens. It'll be interesting to see who Shakur 00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:20.699 goes with promotionally. Because that is going 00:35:20.699 --> 00:35:25.400 to determine his possible next fights. Well, 00:35:25.460 --> 00:35:27.079 I'll tell you this. He's not going to top rank. 00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:30.469 He's not going to Queensberry. I doubt he's going 00:35:30.469 --> 00:35:34.829 to go to Golden Boy. Why not top rank? He was 00:35:34.829 --> 00:35:39.469 already with them. Oh, okay. So I feel like he's 00:35:39.469 --> 00:35:41.329 just going to stay with Eddie. I don't think 00:35:41.329 --> 00:35:43.949 that he's going to go to PBC. If he does, he'll 00:35:43.949 --> 00:35:47.250 do like a one fight deal. Because I don't think 00:35:47.250 --> 00:35:51.989 the PBC has a lot of fighters at 135. I think 00:35:51.989 --> 00:35:54.210 the only one is really Tank, huh? I think you're 00:35:54.210 --> 00:35:58.360 right. That would be like a one fight deal. Unless 00:35:58.360 --> 00:35:59.900 he goes up and wait, of course. But that's a 00:35:59.900 --> 00:36:05.679 different story. But yeah, that's... I wonder 00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:07.480 what Shakur's going to do next. He's probably 00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:08.719 going to fight next year. I don't think he's 00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:10.619 going to fight again this year. He's already 00:36:10.619 --> 00:36:14.980 fought twice. They've already got the ring cards 00:36:14.980 --> 00:36:20.219 assembled for the end of the year. I don't know. 00:36:23.659 --> 00:36:28.360 Yeah, that would be a good fight. Good little 00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:32.340 unification. I mean, I personally would like 00:36:32.340 --> 00:36:35.739 to see him versus Keyshawn, too, but... Oh, yeah, 00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:37.820 they're not going to do that. Yeah, that's not 00:36:37.820 --> 00:36:39.519 going to happen. That's never going to happen. 00:36:39.820 --> 00:36:42.260 The thing is that I also wanted to see Keyshawn 00:36:42.260 --> 00:36:47.420 versus Tank, and then Raven versus Shakur. You 00:36:47.420 --> 00:36:52.460 know? Then have the Undisputed fight. Would be 00:36:52.460 --> 00:36:56.699 nice. Well, I mean, there's also one other guy 00:36:56.699 --> 00:36:58.599 that I think... It's probably the most likely 00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:04.699 option for sure. Of Dula Mason? Okay. You just 00:37:04.699 --> 00:37:08.420 rained on my parade. Nah, who do you think I 00:37:08.420 --> 00:37:09.780 was talking about? Who do you think I was talking 00:37:09.780 --> 00:37:13.099 about? That was who I thought you were talking 00:37:13.099 --> 00:37:15.900 about. Yeah, Sam Noakes. Yeah, of course. Sam 00:37:15.900 --> 00:37:19.179 Noakes. Dalton Smith. All these Brit bums. No, 00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:21.679 I'm talking about my boy Floyd Schofield. Oh. 00:37:22.860 --> 00:37:26.719 That, I think, is a good fight for... Well, I 00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:28.039 think it's an exciting fight. I don't know about 00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:30.360 it's a good fight to go for this point in the 00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:34.539 career. But, you know, that's still an exciting 00:37:34.539 --> 00:37:40.019 fight I would love to watch. How about Andy Cruz? 00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:45.440 No, no. It's his mandatory. I would not want 00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:47.179 to watch Andy Cruz fight, I'll tell you that 00:37:47.179 --> 00:37:52.429 right now. Andy Cruz is one... For Murataya, 00:37:52.670 --> 00:37:58.250 one for Shakur and two for Tank. Rankings -wise. 00:37:58.949 --> 00:38:00.570 I'll tell you, this is going to be a lot easier 00:38:00.570 --> 00:38:05.769 to fight Shakur than fight Murataya. Promotional 00:38:05.769 --> 00:38:13.190 -wise. Yeah. Because I doubt that the top rank 00:38:13.190 --> 00:38:17.190 is going to want to let Andy Cruz beat Murataya, 00:38:17.230 --> 00:38:20.480 which, yeah, they're a guy, you know. And I think 00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:22.179 it's easier for Eddie to get a fight in -house, 00:38:22.300 --> 00:38:29.519 you know? So, what did you think about Shakur 00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:32.880 saying he's not going to fight like that again? 00:38:33.199 --> 00:38:38.400 That he took too much damage? When did he say 00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:45.880 this? Post -fight interview. No shit. Yeah. I 00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:48.900 mean, I know he can fight like this. But the 00:38:48.900 --> 00:38:50.900 thing is, it really depends on the fighter he's 00:38:50.900 --> 00:38:54.420 fighting against, you know? Yeah. I always knew 00:38:54.420 --> 00:38:56.980 he could fight like this, but I always knew he 00:38:56.980 --> 00:39:00.039 chose not to. And then after this exciting fight 00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:02.800 that everybody loved and is talking about, he 00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:06.840 basically said, you'll never see it again. That's 00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:09.599 unfortunate, honestly, because I think he needs 00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:12.159 this type of fight to become popular, or stay 00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:15.559 popular, or grow his fan base, you know? Absolutely. 00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:18.650 I agree. That's why Tank's a well -known name 00:39:18.650 --> 00:39:21.010 is because he gets knockouts. He's exciting somewhat, 00:39:21.250 --> 00:39:25.969 you know? But, I don't know. I would love to 00:39:25.969 --> 00:39:27.769 see Shakur Tank. I think right now is the perfect 00:39:27.769 --> 00:39:29.710 time to make it before they fight anybody else. 00:39:30.750 --> 00:39:33.110 Yeah, I think everybody wants that one. Like, 00:39:33.110 --> 00:39:36.849 I think that's a pretty highly demanded fight 00:39:36.849 --> 00:39:39.909 all around. But I also don't think it happens 00:39:39.909 --> 00:39:44.409 just because it's boxing. Yeah, Tank won't take 00:39:44.409 --> 00:39:52.780 that. Maxie Hughes is on his top five mandatories. 00:39:53.920 --> 00:40:02.860 Pretty crazy. And he's the silver champion. That's 00:40:02.860 --> 00:40:09.739 just mean. Mean to Maxie? Yeah. He would look 00:40:09.739 --> 00:40:20.610 so stupid. They would be pretty sad. Anything 00:40:20.610 --> 00:40:28.489 more for this one? Nah. Okay. Time for me to 00:40:28.489 --> 00:40:33.250 take my lashings. Serving up. Getting myself 00:40:33.250 --> 00:40:39.389 a nice healthy portion size of humble pie. A 00:40:39.389 --> 00:40:45.670 nice big slice. Hamza Shiraz knocks out Edgar 00:40:45.670 --> 00:40:50.880 Berlenga in five. Fucking Ber... I, uh, how did 00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:56.820 I, I, the, my exasperated expression, as I said, 00:40:56.880 --> 00:41:01.659 I fucking knew, I knew not to, not to believe 00:41:01.659 --> 00:41:04.260 in Berlinga. I knew it. Just everything in my 00:41:04.260 --> 00:41:07.019 fucking body and brain was saying, don't, don't 00:41:07.019 --> 00:41:11.099 do it. Do not, do not support him. He's a fucking 00:41:11.099 --> 00:41:14.539 idiot. And you're going, it's just going to go 00:41:14.539 --> 00:41:18.510 badly for you. But you did it anyways. But I 00:41:18.510 --> 00:41:23.550 did it anyways. What do you know? Hamza Shiraz 00:41:23.550 --> 00:41:28.590 knocks his ass the fuck out. Shiraz looks so 00:41:28.590 --> 00:41:32.849 big. Yeah. Everybody was saying that Berlanga 00:41:32.849 --> 00:41:34.929 was going to be the bigger guy and a weight bully 00:41:34.929 --> 00:41:37.769 and everything. And Shiraz looked way bigger 00:41:37.769 --> 00:41:39.969 than him in the ring. It was crazy. The face 00:41:39.969 --> 00:41:43.369 -offs at the media press conferences, just seeing 00:41:43.369 --> 00:41:46.300 the photos. The height difference was really 00:41:46.300 --> 00:41:49.599 stark. But not even just height. Like, he was 00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:54.380 just bigger. Bigger frame. Yeah. I don't know 00:41:54.380 --> 00:41:56.880 how that man was cutting down to whatever, 160. 00:41:57.360 --> 00:42:05.699 Yeah. 154. Crazy. I ate my words for this fight. 00:42:06.179 --> 00:42:11.960 Yep. I'll tell you. I was very sad after. As 00:42:11.960 --> 00:42:16.389 much as I fucking hate Berlanga. I did not want 00:42:16.389 --> 00:42:21.010 to see Hamza win. And now we see in the Discord 00:42:21.010 --> 00:42:24.309 and people online that people are now saying 00:42:24.309 --> 00:42:27.710 Hamza deserves a canola fight. Even my own dad's 00:42:27.710 --> 00:42:30.469 saying that. Every day for the past couple days, 00:42:30.690 --> 00:42:38.230 my dad isn't telling me. And every day, I keep 00:42:38.230 --> 00:42:41.269 thinking, yeah, he's rubbing it in. He hated 00:42:41.269 --> 00:42:44.829 Berlanga. He hated Berlanga. Well, he hates Berlanga. 00:42:44.829 --> 00:42:47.829 It was funny. Mid -fight, right before Berlanga 00:42:47.829 --> 00:42:49.630 got the knockdown, he's like, this is going to 00:42:49.630 --> 00:42:51.610 go to the decision. Watch. And then he got the 00:42:51.610 --> 00:42:53.449 knockdown. And then he got the knockdown. He's 00:42:53.449 --> 00:42:57.750 like, oh! Oh! My dad's been rubbing my face every 00:42:57.750 --> 00:43:02.250 fucking day now. Excellent. That's basically 00:43:02.250 --> 00:43:04.329 what I'm dealing with now. I got to live with 00:43:04.329 --> 00:43:07.829 it. I talk too much shit. Lynn's happy. Didn't 00:43:07.829 --> 00:43:10.440 have to pay me any turns of taking. That's true. 00:43:10.739 --> 00:43:16.900 Yeah, I had to eat my own words. So, I've been 00:43:16.900 --> 00:43:20.280 humbled. But it's also sad to see that Hamid 00:43:20.280 --> 00:43:21.699 Shiraz is probably going to get a shot at Canelo. 00:43:22.300 --> 00:43:26.840 I think he does deserve it, though. I did not 00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:29.659 think he deserved it. I'm surprised. Just as 00:43:29.659 --> 00:43:34.440 much as Berlanga did. More than Skull does. Berlanga 00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:36.440 didn't, but the problem is that they never deserved 00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:38.809 it. None of those guys deserved it. Yeah, I'm 00:43:38.809 --> 00:43:41.849 just saying that Shiraz isn't going to get the 00:43:41.849 --> 00:43:44.969 Canelo payday anyways because Canelo's going 00:43:44.969 --> 00:43:48.190 to duck him. No, no, he's not. He's going to 00:43:48.190 --> 00:43:51.469 be forced to fight him. I don't know. Canelo 00:43:51.469 --> 00:43:56.429 signed with Riyadh. Yeah. And the problem is 00:43:56.429 --> 00:44:04.190 that with Berlanga, how is he going to fight 00:44:04.190 --> 00:44:05.690 Berlanga and then get a shot at Unzbuter with 00:44:05.690 --> 00:44:08.099 someone like Christian Billy? who's been working 00:44:08.099 --> 00:44:10.260 his way up legitimately for the past couple years 00:44:10.260 --> 00:44:15.960 and is now the interim champion, has been curved, 00:44:16.139 --> 00:44:20.139 you know? Ridiculous. Even someone like Diego 00:44:20.139 --> 00:44:22.519 Pacheco deserves more. Diego Pacheco's young, 00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:28.619 but he deserves way more than Shiraz. In my opinion. 00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:31.480 All these guys do. I'd say they're about the 00:44:31.480 --> 00:44:34.739 same level of deserving. Yeah, I would not be 00:44:34.739 --> 00:44:40.369 mad at Pacheco either. Well, I think it's just 00:44:40.369 --> 00:44:42.929 because they built their way up to become an 00:44:42.929 --> 00:44:45.289 interim title holder. Instead of fighting someone 00:44:45.289 --> 00:44:47.789 like Berlanga and knowing your connections, you 00:44:47.789 --> 00:44:51.309 know? It's boxing, though, but come on. I'm looking 00:44:51.309 --> 00:44:56.670 at the rankings to see... How the fuck is Bektamir 00:44:56.670 --> 00:45:00.489 number one in the WBA? Well, he fought in Final 00:45:00.489 --> 00:45:06.510 Eliminator. Against Darius Fulgham? And he didn't 00:45:06.510 --> 00:45:09.880 look very good. That's your final eliminator? 00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:15.019 Darius fucking Fulgham? I still want to see Osli's 00:45:15.019 --> 00:45:20.000 fight. Someone up there, but we'll see. I doubt 00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:24.420 that'll ever happen anywhere in the near future, 00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:29.340 but we'll see. He's number three in the IBF. 00:45:31.340 --> 00:45:37.530 So that's... So maybe you'll get to see it. How 00:45:37.530 --> 00:45:41.050 is Jermall Charlo number one in the WBC, too? 00:45:41.510 --> 00:45:44.630 That's ridiculous as well. I don't get that either. 00:45:44.929 --> 00:45:48.989 I really don't. Honestly, no. Honestly, I think 00:45:48.989 --> 00:45:50.510 Hamza probably deserves it more than Charlo. 00:45:52.190 --> 00:45:54.110 If there's one person I would say, it's probably 00:45:54.110 --> 00:46:00.369 he deserves it more than Charlo. You think they 00:46:00.369 --> 00:46:04.590 want to do the storyline of Canelo fighting both 00:46:04.590 --> 00:46:10.510 Charlo brothers? He's going to beat Jermall Charlo. 00:46:10.690 --> 00:46:14.750 I don't think there's even a question. Of course 00:46:14.750 --> 00:46:18.170 he's going to. As much as I hate that Hamza fight, 00:46:18.289 --> 00:46:21.829 dude, it would probably be Canelo's hardest fight. 00:46:22.630 --> 00:46:26.849 In quite a while. Yeah, in quite a while. Just 00:46:26.849 --> 00:46:31.829 because how tall he is, how strong he punches. 00:46:32.250 --> 00:46:36.349 So I can kind of see why. But it sucks because 00:46:36.349 --> 00:46:38.579 I already know the result of that fight. It's 00:46:38.579 --> 00:46:43.440 a kangaroo court type of fight. I just wanted 00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:51.460 Turkey to take an L. Yeah. That was it. That 00:46:51.460 --> 00:46:53.699 would've been funny. He'd belong to win the King 00:46:53.699 --> 00:46:56.420 of New York, but he's now the Jester of New York. 00:46:57.400 --> 00:47:04.139 The King has fallen. Yeah. By the British. Ugh. 00:47:04.699 --> 00:47:10.309 Gross. Gross. All right. Anything more for this? 00:47:10.849 --> 00:47:15.849 For the ring? No. I don't think so. As much as 00:47:15.849 --> 00:47:18.369 I hate to say it, it was a fire card. It was 00:47:18.369 --> 00:47:19.889 a good card. It was amazing. It was absolutely 00:47:19.889 --> 00:47:22.130 a good card. In my opinion, it's probably the 00:47:22.130 --> 00:47:24.710 best card that Turkey's ever assembled. Oh, 100 00:47:24.710 --> 00:47:28.130 % the best he's ever assembled. Right now, what 00:47:28.130 --> 00:47:33.849 are the other options? Fucking Eubank Ben was 00:47:33.849 --> 00:47:36.909 not a good card. It just happened to have a good 00:47:36.909 --> 00:47:42.760 fight. fight and a half on it uh music theory 00:47:42.760 --> 00:47:49.019 one times square fucking worst card in history 00:47:49.019 --> 00:47:53.679 followed by the worst fight in fucking canelo 00:47:53.679 --> 00:48:01.260 history i will say turkey has been making improvements 00:48:01.260 --> 00:48:10.800 every every iteration of his fight cards. I think 00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:13.380 this Ring 3 card was for sure the best just because 00:48:13.380 --> 00:48:17.679 of the atmosphere too. And the fights they all 00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:20.780 delivered. Well they finally had a fight in someone's 00:48:20.780 --> 00:48:25.119 hometown where people cared. Yeah. It was fun. 00:48:25.739 --> 00:48:32.960 It's good stuff. I liked it. Unfortunately.

Between habitat 00:52:52.619 --> 00:52:56.599 loss, climate change, and pesticides, it's a 00:52:56.599 --> 00:52:59.139 fucking bummer. Without them, our world would 00:52:59.139 --> 00:53:01.280 look a lot different and it would be a lot less 00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:04.199 delicious. But there is good news.

Use code 00:53:41.130 --> 00:53:53.940 LEO33862. Buzz, motherfucker. Fuck. It's a bleak, 00:53:53.940 --> 00:54:00.820 bleak weekend. Bleak end? That's okay. I'm too 00:54:00.820 --> 00:54:05.000 busy this weekend to watch boxing anyways. Saturday, 00:54:05.119 --> 00:54:08.760 July 26th. We've got two cards. I'll start with 00:54:08.760 --> 00:54:12.440 Salida on the zone at the Little Caesars Arena 00:54:12.440 --> 00:54:15.619 in Detroit. There's only two fights on here that 00:54:15.619 --> 00:54:19.159 I really care about. Tony Harrison is back versus 00:54:19.159 --> 00:54:25.179 Edward Diaz. So that should be fun. I don't know 00:54:25.179 --> 00:54:29.500 who that is. If you saw him and checked out his 00:54:29.500 --> 00:54:33.159 record a bit, I'm sure you'd remember. Clarissa 00:54:33.159 --> 00:54:37.619 Shields versus Lonnie Daniels. Clarissa Shields, 00:54:37.639 --> 00:54:41.059 the undisputed heavyweight champion versus Lonnie 00:54:41.059 --> 00:54:44.360 Daniels, the undisputed light heavyweight champion. 00:54:46.750 --> 00:54:50.469 Could be good. What's interesting is that between 00:54:50.469 --> 00:54:53.650 some of the divisions, heavyweight is light heavyweight. 00:54:54.210 --> 00:54:57.809 They skip. They go middle, super middle, and 00:54:57.809 --> 00:55:03.969 then heavyweight. Some of them do. It's a weird 00:55:03.969 --> 00:55:09.429 situation, but still should be a good time. Good 00:55:09.429 --> 00:55:15.550 -ish versus Shields. Yeah, I suspect Clarissa 00:55:15.550 --> 00:55:24.309 Schiltz will just win. As usual. And top rank 00:55:24.309 --> 00:55:28.610 on ESPN at the Madison Square Garden Theater. 00:55:32.730 --> 00:55:35.690 Let's go from the bottom up. I'm just going to 00:55:35.690 --> 00:55:40.409 cherry pick. Juanma Lopez. This is Juanmita. 00:55:41.230 --> 00:55:47.619 He's the son of that. Juanma versus Jorge Gonzalez 00:55:47.619 --> 00:55:53.460 Sanchez. Emiliano Vargas versus Alexander Espinoza. 00:55:54.579 --> 00:55:59.940 That should be fun. Steven Navarro. I see him 00:55:59.940 --> 00:56:03.159 on these cards a lot. I should probably actually 00:56:03.159 --> 00:56:09.039 watch him one of these times. He's fine. Oh. 00:56:10.920 --> 00:56:16.610 You know who else is just... fine. Bakudir Jalalov 00:56:16.610 --> 00:56:23.889 versus John Parker. He's just fine. He's a weird 00:56:23.889 --> 00:56:33.590 looking dude, Jalalov. So, anything getting you 00:56:33.590 --> 00:56:41.289 excited as I go up the card? No, not really. 00:56:43.980 --> 00:56:47.320 Saul doesn't watch the undercards. Wait, wait, 00:56:47.340 --> 00:56:49.059 wait. I watch the undercards of Top Rank, yeah. 00:56:49.099 --> 00:56:53.940 I just don't think it's that exciting. Fair enough. 00:56:55.440 --> 00:56:59.820 Rohan Polanco versus Quinton Randall. Polanco 00:56:59.820 --> 00:57:04.599 should be an exciting knockout just because that's 00:57:04.599 --> 00:57:09.800 how they're building him right now. Bruce Carrington 00:57:09.800 --> 00:57:17.639 versus Mateus Hayta. Harrington is so fucking 00:57:17.639 --> 00:57:22.079 boring. Yeah. That's actually like a Shakur. 00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:27.260 Like even worse though. Because he's not that 00:57:27.260 --> 00:57:31.820 good. Oh yeah. What I mean is he's actually like 00:57:31.820 --> 00:57:36.699 what people were saying Shakur was. I don't think 00:57:36.699 --> 00:57:41.179 he's that bad. I don't know. I don't like watching 00:57:41.179 --> 00:57:46.329 him. I usually skip his fights. This is not a 00:57:46.329 --> 00:57:48.829 great card either. There's a lot of names I recognize, 00:57:49.110 --> 00:57:53.130 but they're all pretty mid. Yeah, something like 00:57:53.130 --> 00:57:56.309 that. You know who they are, it's just you don't 00:57:56.309 --> 00:57:59.230 really care for... I don't have a strong opinion. 00:58:02.489 --> 00:58:09.210 Me neither. It was fine, guys. Stay busy. Interim 00:58:09.210 --> 00:58:13.780 WBC title on the line there. And the vacant WBO 00:58:13.780 --> 00:58:18.360 super welterweight title. That's 154. Xander 00:58:18.360 --> 00:58:21.920 Zayas versus Jorge Perez. Where did you last 00:58:21.920 --> 00:58:27.099 see Jorge when he beat Charles Conwell? Oh, yeah. 00:58:27.500 --> 00:58:32.019 So that's fun. I think Perez is going to take 00:58:32.019 --> 00:58:35.780 it. You think so? Yeah, I think Perez probably 00:58:35.780 --> 00:58:40.119 would beat Zayas. I think Zayas is... He's okay, 00:58:40.260 --> 00:58:42.800 but I don't think he's going to beat Perez. If 00:58:42.800 --> 00:58:44.300 it goes to the decision, though, I'll give it 00:58:44.300 --> 00:58:46.340 to Zayas, for sure. Oh, of course. He's in New 00:58:46.340 --> 00:58:49.820 York. He's Puerto Rican. Mexico versus Puerto 00:58:49.820 --> 00:58:53.400 Rico. Yeah. It'll be a good fight, though. It'll 00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:58.480 be fun. I'll say. I assume Zayas is going to 00:58:58.480 --> 00:59:03.519 win this one. Yeah. I'm going to be going for 00:59:03.519 --> 00:59:07.679 Perez, though. Oh, I'm cheering for Perez, but... 00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:11.940 I'm expecting Zayas to win. Yeah. Pick league, 00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:14.699 I will be picking Zayas, I think, by decision. 00:59:17.860 --> 00:59:21.980 Maybe we'll see Zayas find that new gear that 00:59:21.980 --> 00:59:26.539 finally starts impressing people. Maybe. I would 00:59:26.539 --> 00:59:30.880 not bet money on that. I think Perez could push 00:59:30.880 --> 00:59:34.539 him to do it. If he has the gear, Perez can do 00:59:34.539 --> 00:59:39.409 it, can push him to it. That's fair. I do want 00:59:39.409 --> 00:59:41.309 to see that happen because, honestly, they can 00:59:41.309 --> 00:59:44.409 make a fight with Virgil. I would love that. 00:59:45.889 --> 00:59:48.690 Virgil versus Zayas? No, Virgil versus Perez. 00:59:48.929 --> 00:59:51.409 Oh, I was about to say, like, do you want Zayas 00:59:51.409 --> 00:59:56.150 to die? No, no. Well, honestly, I mean... Maybe. 00:59:56.269 --> 00:59:57.670 If Zayas wins, they're going to give Virgil that 00:59:57.670 --> 00:59:59.849 shot. I'll tell you this right now. Oh, of course. 01:00:00.130 --> 01:00:03.309 You know top rank how they are. Top rank protection 01:00:03.309 --> 01:00:05.829 system. They're going to protect the fighter 01:00:05.829 --> 01:00:08.730 until they're absolutely sure they can win the 01:00:08.730 --> 01:00:11.989 fight. Or it gives them enough money to where 01:00:11.989 --> 01:00:14.409 they say, fuck the fighter, let's get that money, 01:00:14.469 --> 01:00:22.730 man. Yeah. That's how Top Rank is. Top Rank does 01:00:22.730 --> 01:00:25.010 put on some pretty good cards every once in a 01:00:25.010 --> 01:00:29.010 while, though. When they decide to risk their 01:00:29.010 --> 01:00:33.420 guys, they do it for something good. Keyshawn's 01:00:33.420 --> 01:00:36.099 original card, that card originally was going 01:00:36.099 --> 01:00:42.780 to be good. Yeah. Until... Jared Anderson versus 01:00:42.780 --> 01:00:45.360 Martin Bacoli. Did they sacrifice him for something 01:00:45.360 --> 01:00:50.420 good there? Bacoli's... Of all the things you're 01:00:50.420 --> 01:00:52.639 going to gamble your fucking future on, it's 01:00:52.639 --> 01:00:56.880 going to be him? I don't think anybody expected... 01:00:58.119 --> 01:01:00.539 Jared Anderson to lose that one, though. I don't 01:01:00.539 --> 01:01:05.760 think they thought it was a gamble. This must 01:01:05.760 --> 01:01:07.800 be like the guy that was sitting next to me at 01:01:07.800 --> 01:01:11.460 the event. He's like, Anderson's going to school. 01:01:11.539 --> 01:01:14.139 This guy went to go get a beer. I'm like, I don't 01:01:14.139 --> 01:01:17.820 know about that, buddy. Oh, no, I won money on 01:01:17.820 --> 01:01:25.619 that fight. I knew Anderson wasn't that good, 01:01:25.780 --> 01:01:31.320 but I think Top Rank thought he was. All right. 01:01:32.699 --> 01:01:36.380 Anything more for Top Rank at the MSG Theater? 01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:43.760 Nope. Let's go praise. All right. Really quick. 01:01:47.840 --> 01:01:49.940 You've been listening to Boxing Before Dark, 01:01:50.099 --> 01:01:52.849 a Lux Media production.

Heading into 01:02:59.340 --> 01:03:01.539 a pretty bleak weekend. Shanada, you're doing 01:03:01.539 --> 01:03:05.000 something this weekend. I am. I'm very excited. 01:03:05.280 --> 01:03:10.579 I'm going to the Ryzen Summerfest in the Saitama 01:03:10.579 --> 01:03:15.150 Super Arena. I'm super excited. I want to see 01:03:15.150 --> 01:03:17.630 the arena, which is a very nerdy thing to say, 01:03:17.750 --> 01:03:19.869 but I've seen it on TV so many times. I want 01:03:19.869 --> 01:03:24.730 to see the inside of the arena. And I think Ryzen 01:03:24.730 --> 01:03:28.650 just is probably a completely different atmosphere 01:03:28.650 --> 01:03:32.769 than the boxing. I'm expecting many less businessmen 01:03:32.769 --> 01:03:35.510 with escorts and many more drunken hooligans. 01:03:36.480 --> 01:03:39.519 So I'm hoping to make friends. I've been practicing 01:03:39.519 --> 01:03:42.320 my Japanese to try and talk to people beside 01:03:42.320 --> 01:03:47.139 me. Asking who's fighting. Yeah, yeah. I think 01:03:47.139 --> 01:03:49.440 I talked about it a couple weeks ago, but I have 01:03:49.440 --> 01:03:52.739 started memorizing possible answers. That's good. 01:03:52.820 --> 01:03:56.860 Because I had memorized all the questions, Saul, 01:03:57.019 --> 01:03:59.440 and then totally forgot that I need to understand 01:03:59.440 --> 01:04:05.360 what they tell me after the question. So. Yeah, 01:04:05.400 --> 01:04:10.019 no, I'm super stoked for it. Yeah, this is a 01:04:10.019 --> 01:04:12.719 good weekend for it to fall on. You're not going 01:04:12.719 --> 01:04:15.139 to be missing a whole lot. Yeah, I'm not missing 01:04:15.139 --> 01:04:18.860 much for boxing, and it's like fucking 12 hours. 01:04:18.960 --> 01:04:22.000 It's so long. 12 is an exaggeration, but it starts 01:04:22.000 --> 01:04:24.260 at 1 in the afternoon, and I expect it to go 01:04:24.260 --> 01:04:28.360 until like 10. The Ryzen event? Yeah. Oh, hell 01:04:28.360 --> 01:04:31.059 yeah. Like, so many fights. Marathon events. 01:04:31.739 --> 01:04:35.119 Yeah. I might actually end up having to spend 01:04:35.119 --> 01:04:38.019 the night in Tokyo. I think I'll get out of Saitama, 01:04:38.099 --> 01:04:40.119 but I don't know if I'll make it out of Tokyo 01:04:40.119 --> 01:04:44.340 before the trains end. There's worse things. 01:04:44.420 --> 01:04:49.659 I can spend a night in Tokyo. Saul, you doing 01:04:49.659 --> 01:04:51.940 anything fun? Or are you watching the boxing 01:04:51.940 --> 01:04:54.519 with me? I'm watching the boxing with you. That's 01:04:54.519 --> 01:04:55.960 what I'm doing. I'm probably going to play Quip 01:04:55.960 --> 01:04:59.869 Lash. Oh, that's right. We've got Quiplash. That's 01:04:59.869 --> 01:05:05.050 part of the fucking Discord fun. Yeah, we haven't 01:05:05.050 --> 01:05:06.730 played for a little while. We should do that 01:05:06.730 --> 01:05:13.730 this weekend. Yeah, let's do that. I'll have 01:05:13.730 --> 01:05:16.869 to get the game just in case somebody else, someone 01:05:16.869 --> 01:05:21.289 who does have it, it doesn't show up. It's all 01:05:21.289 --> 01:05:24.210 good. I can do that. I've said a few times I 01:05:24.210 --> 01:05:27.590 don't mind buying that one. We can fight over 01:05:27.590 --> 01:05:33.309 who spends money. Shit. Parting words. What do 01:05:33.309 --> 01:05:38.010 I got? Discord is fun. There's boxing talk if 01:05:38.010 --> 01:05:41.190 you're into MMA also. There's MMA spaces. Fucking 01:05:41.190 --> 01:05:47.010 food. Your pets. Video games. Book club. All 01:05:47.010 --> 01:05:49.610 kinds of shit, man. This is more than just fights. 01:05:50.010 --> 01:05:52.829 On Fight Night, please make no mistake. We're 01:05:52.829 --> 01:05:56.809 talking about the fights. Throughout the rest 01:05:56.809 --> 01:06:02.590 of the week, we're having a good time. All right. 01:06:02.590 --> 01:06:04.789 Well, that's it for this edition of the Boxing 01:06:04.789 --> 01:06:07.289 B -Sides. See you on the other side.
