WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:32.140 This shit ain't nothing to me, man. Boxing before 00:00:32.140 --> 00:00:38.579 dark. It is not dark yet. In a few months, we're 00:00:38.579 --> 00:00:40.159 going to have to adjust the time if we want to 00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:45.539 keep it before dark. Not for me, though. I think 00:00:45.539 --> 00:00:47.859 that might just be that it's dark in one place 00:00:47.859 --> 00:00:53.079 for the two of us. I don't know if there is a 00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:59.170 reasonable time. It is. raining and cloudy and 00:00:59.170 --> 00:01:02.369 only 30 degrees here it is the coldest it's been 00:01:02.369 --> 00:01:05.650 in like a month i actually turned off my air 00:01:05.650 --> 00:01:09.010 conditioner for the first time in like seven 00:01:09.010 --> 00:01:17.489 weeks damn i can't get one of mine the one that 00:01:17.489 --> 00:01:22.069 cools this new place that i live it has two systems 00:01:22.069 --> 00:01:26.329 and one of them is not cooling properly And that's 00:01:26.329 --> 00:01:28.370 the one that happens to be where my office is. 00:01:29.530 --> 00:01:35.769 That's garbage. Yeah, not the best. But I have 00:01:35.769 --> 00:01:39.709 a fan that I can bring in. It shouldn't be a 00:01:39.709 --> 00:01:43.670 big deal. I usually sit it under my desk so that 00:01:43.670 --> 00:01:49.689 it blows. Did the catch hit? Yeah, no. That's 00:01:49.689 --> 00:01:53.030 right. I'm going to have to clean that out. Double 00:01:53.030 --> 00:01:55.090 check to make sure we didn't lay any new fucking 00:01:55.090 --> 00:02:00.010 eggs. All right, let's get into some fucking 00:02:00.010 --> 00:02:05.689 boxing here. Yeah. Enough of my woes. So we're 00:02:05.689 --> 00:02:08.030 going to jump into some news and shit. It's a 00:02:08.030 --> 00:02:11.550 little bit aged, but nonetheless still worth 00:02:11.550 --> 00:02:17.610 talking about. One that really, just on the surface, 00:02:17.629 --> 00:02:23.180 it sounds pretty shitty. Turkey McFuckface tweeted 00:02:23.180 --> 00:02:27.020 for Tim Zoo to become like a sparring partner 00:02:27.020 --> 00:02:31.099 for everyone. Yeah, he said that Tim Zoo was 00:02:31.099 --> 00:02:36.460 not a useful fighter to have on cards, but he 00:02:36.460 --> 00:02:38.560 might be able to use him as a sparring partner. 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.000 There was a bit of backlash and that tweet got 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.139 deleted, but I thought that was just a super 00:02:46.139 --> 00:02:49.610 shitty thing to say. It is a very shitty thing 00:02:49.610 --> 00:02:54.229 to say. I don't know. Turkey's such an asshat. 00:02:55.069 --> 00:02:59.330 But... Yeah, like, I don't think that it was 00:02:59.330 --> 00:03:03.050 something lost in translation either. Which is 00:03:03.050 --> 00:03:06.110 what they might try to chalk it up to. It was 00:03:06.110 --> 00:03:10.229 very clearly not that. Because he reiterated 00:03:10.229 --> 00:03:14.669 the point. Like... Yeah, I don't know. Like, 00:03:14.750 --> 00:03:17.620 kick a man when he's down. That's just... bullshit 00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:24.219 but turkey's gonna turkey i guess right because 00:03:24.219 --> 00:03:29.300 like we're we i mean like active fighters are 00:03:29.300 --> 00:03:34.780 just action figures for him just play toys just 00:03:34.780 --> 00:03:39.060 yeah which play toys can i make fight yeah but 00:03:39.060 --> 00:03:42.819 like they are people with feelings right like 00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:46.699 I don't know, just such a shitty thing to say. 00:03:46.819 --> 00:03:49.500 And I don't think it's true either. Like, if 00:03:49.500 --> 00:03:54.099 you really think Tim Zhu can't hang at the world 00:03:54.099 --> 00:03:57.120 level anymore, or even just at, like, a competitive 00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.919 level, then he shouldn't fight at all. Like, 00:03:59.979 --> 00:04:07.460 I don't know. Just dumb. Let's see. His losses 00:04:07.460 --> 00:04:13.699 have been to Fundora twice, Mortazaliev. Yeah. 00:04:14.300 --> 00:04:18.120 It's more the way he lost the last two losses, 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:22.279 I think, than anything else. Like, he took an 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:26.879 absolute ass -beating versus Murda, and then... 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.879 I'm not saying he shouldn't have stopped, but 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.079 it was weird the way Tim stopped in that last 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.800 Vendora fight. If you can't trust your corner 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:39.759 to pull you out when you need to be pulled out, 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.259 you stop in the corner. Like, I get that. I'm 00:04:42.259 --> 00:04:48.240 not saying that... him quit for no reason but 00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:52.160 i just mean it is a weird way to quit i think 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:56.160 he was of the mind he kind of alluded to it in 00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.379 the post fight interview where it's like i i 00:04:58.379 --> 00:05:00.579 did everything i could and it wasn't making a 00:05:00.579 --> 00:05:04.579 difference and i'm already taking a lot of damage 00:05:04.579 --> 00:05:06.980 it took a lot of damage to get me to the point 00:05:06.980 --> 00:05:09.660 where i was landing successfully and that might 00:05:09.660 --> 00:05:13.209 have been my best round but Yeah. Is the juice 00:05:13.209 --> 00:05:17.170 worth the squeeze here? Well, and I do think 00:05:17.170 --> 00:05:20.629 with Tim specifically, he can't trust his corner 00:05:20.629 --> 00:05:22.689 to pull him out if he needs to be pulled out. 00:05:22.930 --> 00:05:26.790 So that's why Tim quit on the stool. Because 00:05:26.790 --> 00:05:32.009 he can't trust his corner to step in. So he needs 00:05:32.009 --> 00:05:34.110 to take care of himself because the people around 00:05:34.110 --> 00:05:39.389 him are such shit. Oh, it's only a liter of blood. 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:42.879 that's fine yeah like that's fine fuck's sake 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:47.300 you can lose another one yeah before you like 00:05:47.300 --> 00:05:50.060 pass out need to be rushed to the hospital yeah 00:05:50.060 --> 00:05:55.980 yeah so like but i i can see why people think 00:05:55.980 --> 00:05:58.740 tim has no dog but i don't think that's true 00:05:58.740 --> 00:06:02.040 i think he just has no trust and he shouldn't 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:05.000 until he gets completely new people he shouldn't 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.610 trust them yeah that's a good way to put it It's 00:06:08.610 --> 00:06:11.050 not that he has no dog, it's that he doesn't 00:06:11.050 --> 00:06:13.009 trust his corner. That's a very good way to put 00:06:13.009 --> 00:06:19.589 it. I can't remember who it was. It was a while 00:06:19.589 --> 00:06:22.250 ago, like maybe the early 2000s. There was a 00:06:22.250 --> 00:06:25.189 Mexican guy who quit on the stool. And after 00:06:25.189 --> 00:06:29.089 he retired, he talked about that. I can picture 00:06:29.089 --> 00:06:32.689 it, like I can see his face, but he was an Ortiz 00:06:32.689 --> 00:06:40.670 maybe? or early 2000s. I might have the timing 00:06:40.670 --> 00:06:43.050 wrong, too. It doesn't really matter, but there's 00:06:43.050 --> 00:06:45.370 been other fighters who are like, nah, my corner 00:06:45.370 --> 00:06:47.769 men were shit, and I didn't trust them to stop 00:06:47.769 --> 00:06:51.069 it. Like, I think Daniel Dubois had the same 00:06:51.069 --> 00:06:53.389 problem with his eye. He told them he couldn't 00:06:53.389 --> 00:06:55.470 see, he told them it was fucked, and they wouldn't 00:06:55.470 --> 00:06:57.649 stop it for him, so he took a knee against Joe 00:06:57.649 --> 00:07:03.569 Joyce. And everybody questioned him. But his 00:07:03.569 --> 00:07:07.899 orbital was, like, fucked. Something I noticed, 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:12.180 I don't know if you did, but in the second Usyk 00:07:12.180 --> 00:07:15.560 fight, so he goes down, he gets counted out, 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:21.079 he gets up pretty okay. Yep. Okay, so I'm glad 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:25.540 it wasn't just me. No, no. There's a lot of people 00:07:25.540 --> 00:07:28.120 doing the, no, he just didn't want the rest of 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:33.540 that fight. Dubois, I think, yeah, but Dubois, 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.000 I think, might also just lack dog a little bit. 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:41.339 A little bit. More so than Tim, in my opinion. 00:07:41.740 --> 00:07:43.860 But, yeah, if you don't trust your corner, you 00:07:43.860 --> 00:07:46.639 gotta take care of yourself. Yeah, and it's not 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.339 gonna look good when you have to. People aren't 00:07:50.339 --> 00:07:54.800 gonna like it, but... I think there's still a 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:59.120 lot of upside for Tim. Well, maybe not a lot, 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.100 but there is still upside. There are things that 00:08:03.100 --> 00:08:05.879 he can do to... There are names out here that 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.339 he can take. Like Erickson Lubin, I feel like 00:08:09.339 --> 00:08:14.699 he needs to suffer for jobbing Jesus Ramos. Yeah. 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:20.899 Lisma Lima is a relatively unknown name, but 00:08:20.899 --> 00:08:25.720 he's starting to build some steam. Connor Ben, 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:34.830 huh? Yeah. Good old Connor Ben. Victor Ortiz 00:08:34.830 --> 00:08:37.429 is the person I was trying to think of. Victor 00:08:37.429 --> 00:08:42.110 Ortiz. You know, when you said he was an Ortiz 00:08:42.110 --> 00:08:44.629 in the early 2000s, I was like, yeah, that's 00:08:44.629 --> 00:08:47.809 who I was thinking of. There's an interview where 00:08:47.809 --> 00:08:50.450 Victor Ortiz talks about this because he had 00:08:50.450 --> 00:08:53.090 one fight, I forget who it was against, where 00:08:53.090 --> 00:08:57.000 he quit. And everybody wrote him off. And after 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.279 he retired, he's like, I quit because I knew 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:01.519 nobody was going to pull me out if I needed it. 00:09:01.580 --> 00:09:06.120 And you can't pull yourself out mid -round. Yeah, 00:09:06.139 --> 00:09:12.200 you can. Robesio Ramirez did. Yeah, well. So 00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:16.700 did Daniel Dubois. Like, you can, but... Anyways. 00:09:16.980 --> 00:09:23.909 So did Tank Davis. Oh, fuck. Anyways, if anybody's 00:09:23.909 --> 00:09:26.529 interested out there somewhere, there's a very 00:09:26.529 --> 00:09:31.809 good discussion of that with Victor Ortiz. Well, 00:09:31.809 --> 00:09:38.590 speaking of calling it quits, Daigo Higa retires 00:09:38.590 --> 00:09:43.970 after another draw. Is this his third one? It's 00:09:43.970 --> 00:09:46.549 two in a row for sure. Yeah, I'm pretty sure 00:09:46.549 --> 00:09:53.389 it's his third. I was a little surprised he retired. 00:09:53.529 --> 00:10:01.690 He didn't look bad. But he is old, I guess. He's 00:10:01.690 --> 00:10:07.450 still in the rankings. Yeah, two draws with Tsutsumi. 00:10:08.110 --> 00:10:10.769 Yeah, he's got the two with Tsutsumi and then 00:10:10.769 --> 00:10:17.629 this Antonio Vargas draw. Man, my Okinawa bro. 00:10:18.149 --> 00:10:25.850 Can't catch a fucking break. I mean, Higa still 00:10:25.850 --> 00:10:28.570 got it, but you can see he's starting to slow 00:10:28.570 --> 00:10:32.009 down. Yeah. If he thinks it's time to quit, it's 00:10:32.009 --> 00:10:34.830 time to quit. But I will be a little sad. He's 00:10:34.830 --> 00:10:38.490 one of those guys that I always look out for 00:10:38.490 --> 00:10:43.950 on the cards. And at 30, he could still get another 00:10:43.950 --> 00:10:49.610 three, four years out of his career if he really 00:10:49.610 --> 00:10:55.019 wanted to. But I guess we also have no idea how 00:10:55.019 --> 00:10:58.139 much damage he's taken. Like, he has a pretty 00:10:58.139 --> 00:11:02.919 damaging style to himself. Yeah, it's a high 00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:08.240 tax on his brain cells. I mean, I hear the Kamedas 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:14.159 are signing people, so... Oh, fuck. I will say, 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.139 Higa got on the good side of the JBC. I don't 00:11:18.139 --> 00:11:21.240 know how or why. but he didn't get jobbed like 00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:26.480 the Okinawans usually do. Yeah. I'm a little 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:30.299 sad. Yeah, I'm a little sad to see him go, but 00:11:30.299 --> 00:11:32.940 I'm glad he's getting out while he's still pretty 00:11:32.940 --> 00:11:40.559 healthy, as far as we know. Hmm. On the topic 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:46.419 of the JBC. Yeah. The fucking body count continues 00:11:46.419 --> 00:11:51.710 to climb up. God damn, it's bad. Two more rush 00:11:51.710 --> 00:11:56.169 to the hospital. After the same card. It's that 00:11:56.169 --> 00:12:01.529 August 2nd card at Korakuen. Jeez. And one of 00:12:01.529 --> 00:12:05.570 them, Shigatoshi Kotari, died last night. Well, 00:12:05.669 --> 00:12:11.370 two nights ago. Yeah. And I can't find any updates 00:12:11.370 --> 00:12:19.419 on Hiromasa Urakawa. He was the one that... He 00:12:19.419 --> 00:12:22.440 was rushed to the hospital as well and had a 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:29.080 less serious brain surgery. Kotari had two brain 00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:32.779 surgeries and then died six days after the fight, 00:12:32.860 --> 00:12:36.220 but I can't find any more updates on the other 00:12:36.220 --> 00:12:43.039 guy, which probably is good news for now, I guess. 00:12:44.330 --> 00:12:47.730 uh shigeoka i i can't find anything on him i 00:12:47.730 --> 00:12:51.570 don't think he ever actually woke up so i was 00:12:51.570 --> 00:12:56.409 wondering if no news is good news if that's the 00:12:56.409 --> 00:13:00.490 case just because if there was an update one 00:13:00.490 --> 00:13:02.190 way or another we would have heard something 00:13:02.190 --> 00:13:05.450 so i guess things are kind of maintaining themselves 00:13:05.450 --> 00:13:12.029 yeah Well, and like this Urakawa, he's only been 00:13:12.029 --> 00:13:16.429 in the hospital for a week now. But like Shigeoka, 00:13:16.610 --> 00:13:19.590 if he hasn't woke up now, I don't know what the 00:13:19.590 --> 00:13:26.450 chances of him waking up are. Yeah. And the JBC's 00:13:26.450 --> 00:13:32.350 response to all of this is to reduce the OPBF 00:13:32.350 --> 00:13:36.769 title fights from 12 rounds to 10 rounds. So... 00:13:37.179 --> 00:13:40.019 I might have it backwards, but Kotari was in 00:13:40.019 --> 00:13:42.600 a 12 -round fight and finished the fight and 00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:46.360 collapsed afterwards. Urakawa was in an 8 -round 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:49.559 fight and collapsed afterwards. Reducing it to 00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:53.080 10 rounds probably isn't gonna do shit. They 00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:55.480 have to be seen as if they're doing something. 00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:59.480 Yeah. Well, maybe they should just have, like, 00:13:59.500 --> 00:14:03.299 better medical checks or something. The one thing 00:14:03.299 --> 00:14:07.559 is, these guys aren't that young. Right? Like, 00:14:07.779 --> 00:14:13.860 Kotari was 28. I forget how old Urakawa is. I 00:14:13.860 --> 00:14:17.340 didn't look it up. Or I didn't write it down, 00:14:17.379 --> 00:14:22.419 I mean. But they probably have some sort of damage 00:14:22.419 --> 00:14:27.639 that's, you know, something that could be caught. 00:14:28.860 --> 00:14:33.340 Shigeoka definitely did. How do you not have 00:14:33.340 --> 00:14:37.720 his age on here? He's an active fighter. He debuted 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.480 in 2018, so he's probably also around that 28th. 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:46.039 He's still at an 8 -round level, though. And 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:48.700 he's never really fought outside Korakuen Hall. 00:14:48.940 --> 00:14:53.059 Like, this guy was a gatekeeper. Yeah, he was 00:14:53.059 --> 00:14:57.100 a jobber. Yeah. Journeyman, I guess. Gatekeeper 00:14:57.100 --> 00:15:02.779 might be too high a standing. But, like, I feel 00:15:02.779 --> 00:15:06.490 like... The JVC doesn't do the best medical checks 00:15:06.490 --> 00:15:10.230 is all I'm saying. And reducing the number of 00:15:10.230 --> 00:15:13.809 rounds isn't going to change that. I am also 00:15:13.809 --> 00:15:16.789 not an expert, so. He was out for almost a year 00:15:16.789 --> 00:15:23.750 because he lost in October of 24 and then he 00:15:23.750 --> 00:15:30.330 came back on August 2nd. So, I don't know. How 00:15:30.330 --> 00:15:33.269 bad was that loss? do you have a skull fracture 00:15:33.269 --> 00:15:36.789 as well? And then they just said, oh, well, you 00:15:36.789 --> 00:15:40.250 don't have a skull fracture now, so have fun. 00:15:41.629 --> 00:15:45.129 Yeah, like, I don't want to make it sound like 00:15:45.129 --> 00:15:47.549 I know anything about the JBC, because I sure 00:15:47.549 --> 00:15:51.289 as hell don't. But they're doing something different 00:15:51.289 --> 00:15:56.110 than other organizations, I think, because they're 00:15:56.110 --> 00:15:58.710 having way more problems than everyone else. 00:15:59.509 --> 00:16:04.460 Yeah. So, I don't know. The JBC needs to look 00:16:04.460 --> 00:16:08.500 at their shit. Get it together. I know that these 00:16:08.500 --> 00:16:10.919 guys make their living boxing and they need to 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:13.200 make a living, but, you know, you're not making 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:16.559 a living in the hospital either. You're not making 00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:21.259 a living if you're fucking dead. Yeah. Jesus. 00:16:25.899 --> 00:16:30.480 In funny Japanese news, the Kameda crashout fucking 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:35.440 continues. The Kamedas are signing everyone they 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:39.860 can think of that the JBC hates. They've signed 00:16:39.860 --> 00:16:45.159 Louis Neary to a five -fight deal. And five fights 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.100 in Japan, as far as I can tell. They're marketing 00:16:48.100 --> 00:16:52.159 it as in Japan. And they're putting out a bunch 00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:55.120 of tweets along the lines of everyone deserves 00:16:55.120 --> 00:17:01.480 a second chance and people change, guys. They're 00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:04.940 signing a whole bunch of like Central Asia guys 00:17:04.940 --> 00:17:08.619 as well. Like a bunch of people from the stands. 00:17:08.859 --> 00:17:12.599 Yeah. And I don't know where they've gotten all 00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:16.799 this money. Because they had that card in Kyrgyzstan. 00:17:17.339 --> 00:17:22.190 I hope I got it right this time. And they're 00:17:22.190 --> 00:17:24.109 doing all these signings. And, like, Neary's 00:17:24.109 --> 00:17:27.809 a name. He's going to cost them money. Casamaro's 00:17:27.809 --> 00:17:31.089 a name. He's going to cost money. Piece of shit. 00:17:31.349 --> 00:17:36.869 Yeah, Casamaro, they're also trying to do publicity. 00:17:37.170 --> 00:17:40.230 Like, people change, guys. He's going to make 00:17:40.230 --> 00:17:44.609 weight this time. Oh, right. They haven't mentioned 00:17:44.609 --> 00:17:49.230 that, like, the... children either so hopefully 00:17:49.230 --> 00:17:52.210 they're keeping him away from anyone underage 00:17:52.210 --> 00:17:55.890 but like i don't know the comedas are just fucking 00:17:55.890 --> 00:17:57.990 crashing out and they're suddenly bankrolled 00:17:57.990 --> 00:18:03.849 as far as i can tell so somebody's gonna end 00:18:03.849 --> 00:18:06.430 up going to jail in the next five years i'm 100 00:18:06.430 --> 00:18:11.750 sure of it somebody has given the comedas drug 00:18:11.750 --> 00:18:16.009 money or something Yeah, I'm curious where they 00:18:16.009 --> 00:18:19.230 could be possibly getting it from. If it was 00:18:19.230 --> 00:18:23.950 the Saudis, they would have made a big publicity 00:18:23.950 --> 00:18:27.549 stunt about it. It's not the Saudis, and it's 00:18:27.549 --> 00:18:29.970 not that kind of money. As much as they're signing 00:18:29.970 --> 00:18:32.869 a couple big names, they're not signing the biggest 00:18:32.869 --> 00:18:39.410 names. Right. But Vom thought maybe it was Kyrgyzstan. 00:18:40.619 --> 00:18:43.640 doing like trying to do a saudi on a smaller 00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:48.299 scale like which would be the most optimistic 00:18:48.299 --> 00:18:54.059 uh i think idea i don't know i i just assume 00:18:54.059 --> 00:18:57.000 that it's drug money from somewhere it's the 00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:01.839 kamadas the yakuza again or the mexican cartel 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:08.369 or some russian mafia that wants to bankroll 00:19:08.369 --> 00:19:13.009 boxers in the stands to launder their money. 00:19:13.130 --> 00:19:17.390 Who knows? But it's the Kamedas. I cannot see 00:19:17.390 --> 00:19:20.170 this being above board. It's boxing and it's 00:19:20.170 --> 00:19:25.269 the Kamedas. But maybe I'm just pessimistic. 00:19:25.289 --> 00:19:29.230 Maybe it is just somebody won a lottery somewhere 00:19:29.230 --> 00:19:33.789 or something. Their dream for spending it was... 00:19:34.220 --> 00:19:38.500 Well, maybe one of the Kamedas won the lottery 00:19:38.500 --> 00:19:40.799 or something. He's putting it into the family 00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:49.640 business. Maybe. Man, speaking of signings or 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:53.819 not signings, Ryan Garcia. He's dumping Golden 00:19:53.819 --> 00:20:02.160 Boy. Yeah, the Ryan and Oscar online drama continues. 00:20:04.190 --> 00:20:07.670 I don't follow Ryan very closely, but he does 00:20:07.670 --> 00:20:11.549 come up on my Instagram feed a lot. Ryan's looking 00:20:11.549 --> 00:20:15.410 very back on the drugs. He's doing a lot of dancing. 00:20:15.430 --> 00:20:19.730 He's very sweaty. And I don't know. I could be 00:20:19.730 --> 00:20:22.390 wrong. Maybe he's just doing the weird dances 00:20:22.390 --> 00:20:25.250 and looking a little out of it for views. But 00:20:25.250 --> 00:20:30.130 I don't think so. TikTok dances are physically 00:20:30.130 --> 00:20:33.029 taxing. He's just running. They are. He's just 00:20:33.029 --> 00:20:39.369 getting tired. He's got the Instagram models 00:20:39.369 --> 00:20:41.970 showing up at his house again to do TikTok dances. 00:20:42.369 --> 00:20:46.130 Oh, boy. That's all they're doing, I bet. TikTok 00:20:46.130 --> 00:20:56.930 dances. Oh, Ryan. Ridiculous. May your fall from 00:20:56.930 --> 00:21:00.329 grace be infinite. It's just too goddamn funny. 00:21:03.320 --> 00:21:07.680 I fucking hate Ryan. He should sign with the 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:12.980 Kamedas. That would be an interesting move to 00:21:12.980 --> 00:21:19.460 sign with them. Any of the Asian fighters I actually 00:21:19.460 --> 00:21:21.680 like that sign with the Kamedas, I'm just so 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:25.779 sad when I hear it. As far as I know, they don't 00:21:25.779 --> 00:21:29.680 have any Japanese guys that are any name value. 00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:33.920 Because why would you sign with them if you're 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.859 Japanese? Yeah, like Ohashi and Taken are right 00:21:37.859 --> 00:21:42.480 there. Even like that... Who's Nishida fight 00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:46.380 with? Mugo? Yeah, I know who you're talking about. 00:21:46.539 --> 00:21:51.779 Muto? Yeah, that's it. Like, there's just so 00:21:51.779 --> 00:21:56.680 many. They could sign with... What's the guy 00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:59.819 from the bar? What's his name? Kaneko? I don't 00:21:59.819 --> 00:22:02.799 remember the name of his boxing gym, but they're 00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:04.759 doing okay. They've gotten a couple people on 00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:12.140 big cards lately. Good. Man, it would be cool 00:22:12.140 --> 00:22:15.059 to get a chat with a boxing insider from Japan. 00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:23.859 Yeah, my Japanese is not good enough. No. I did 00:22:23.859 --> 00:22:28.019 buy a ticket for Aoi Yokoyama is headlining. 00:22:28.619 --> 00:22:32.460 Next week. Week after? At Korakuen on a Tuesday. 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:38.400 But, yeah, the 19th. So not this Tuesday, but 00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:43.519 the next one. And I might have an email address 00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:46.319 for him. We could try and put together an email. 00:22:46.500 --> 00:22:48.700 I don't know if he would do an interview in English, 00:22:48.779 --> 00:22:52.359 but maybe a written one. Yeah, just submit a 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:55.160 few questions and then, like, reply. He can answer. 00:22:56.500 --> 00:23:00.140 Yeah, and then we can write it up and put it 00:23:00.140 --> 00:23:03.900 on the website. Yeah, that'd be good. It would 00:23:03.900 --> 00:23:07.519 be cool to ask the inner workings. Even ask them, 00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:11.839 like, what's up with the Kameda situation? What's 00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:17.160 the word on the street? Yeah. Oh, speaking of 00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:20.299 Japanese boxers, I did get to meet Tsutsumi Seiya, 00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:24.599 Seiya Tsutsumi, at his fan greeting thing. He 00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:28.900 was so nice. He sat down at every table with 00:23:28.900 --> 00:23:31.700 every fan, signed anything you had for him, and 00:23:31.700 --> 00:23:35.019 he talked to each table for a minute or two. 00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:41.319 He was doing some boxing with the young kids. 00:23:41.660 --> 00:23:45.460 Like, oh no, you need to turn your hip more and 00:23:45.460 --> 00:23:49.240 that sort of stuff. Yeah, it was really cute. 00:23:49.339 --> 00:23:51.960 It was great. He did try and speak English with 00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:55.140 me because he didn't understand my Japanese at 00:23:55.140 --> 00:23:59.380 all. um he he was really nice what did he think 00:23:59.380 --> 00:24:03.200 of the banner oh he thought it was hilarious 00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:06.640 also i gave him one of our stickers he was a 00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:11.160 little confused i was like it's for you or i 00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:14.059 tried to say it in japanese um and he just looked 00:24:14.059 --> 00:24:16.400 at me and i was like no like you can keep it 00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:22.190 and he's like oh for me so i'm uh I don't know 00:24:22.190 --> 00:24:24.150 if he'll actually use it, but I've been checking 00:24:24.150 --> 00:24:26.509 all of his Instagram things to see if it's stuck 00:24:26.509 --> 00:24:29.009 on a water bottle or something. Yeah, it would 00:24:29.009 --> 00:24:32.769 be funny to see him post it. Like, it is a living 00:24:32.769 --> 00:24:39.490 burger that is a pot, sir. Yeah, yeah. Actually, 00:24:39.549 --> 00:24:41.849 on his Instagram, he's in Mexico now. He must 00:24:41.849 --> 00:24:44.009 have flew out, like, the day after he did the 00:24:44.009 --> 00:24:49.960 fan meet. He's looking for the finest beef. He 00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:54.480 is in Guadalajara, actually. Oh, shit. That's 00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:59.380 where the finest Mexican meat is found. That 00:24:59.380 --> 00:25:06.099 sounded a little weird. Yeah, I meant like cattle, 00:25:06.180 --> 00:25:09.359 all right? Yeah, yeah, of course, of course. 00:25:14.140 --> 00:25:18.549 Oh, man. I wanted to... Ask you about this, because 00:25:18.549 --> 00:25:20.349 this is like the way that you have it written 00:25:20.349 --> 00:25:23.390 down here is kind of weird. Raleigh is the only 00:25:23.390 --> 00:25:27.230 title holder. He's a title holder, but they declared 00:25:27.230 --> 00:25:32.230 a vacant title. So I am confused by the regulars 00:25:32.230 --> 00:25:34.990 and the silvers and all that shit. But Raleigh. 00:25:37.529 --> 00:25:42.990 Let me let me look it up. So Raleigh had what 00:25:42.990 --> 00:25:48.799 did he have the interim? wba regular i think 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:53.079 okay regular what weight class are they they're 00:25:53.079 --> 00:26:01.099 140 47 147 okay so he had the regular and then 00:26:01.099 --> 00:26:09.640 what's his name moved up boots yeah so usually 00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:13.539 they would just elevate rolly right you would 00:26:13.539 --> 00:26:17.400 think But instead, they declared the title vacant. 00:26:21.019 --> 00:26:24.799 What? The one that Boots had is now vacant and 00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:29.140 Raleigh keeps the one that he has? That was my 00:26:29.140 --> 00:26:38.160 understanding. What? Why? Yeah, so maybe it's 00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:40.420 changed because I wrote this like a week ago, 00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:47.579 but... That was my understanding. But I get easily 00:26:47.579 --> 00:26:51.400 confused by the regulars and supers and whatevers, 00:26:51.400 --> 00:27:00.079 right? But... I think the thing is, if Rawley 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:05.519 were to fight a unification fight, he would get 00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:11.640 elevated. If he won. Because I think that's what 00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.099 the super is, is for unified champions. Right. 00:27:15.220 --> 00:27:19.099 I'm really trying to dig back into my boxing 00:27:19.099 --> 00:27:24.559 orc bylaws. Fucking shenanigans. Or did they 00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:30.660 since elevate Rolly? Who are the WBA title holders 00:27:30.660 --> 00:27:37.859 right now? Let's have a look. Sorry, Leo, I should 00:27:37.859 --> 00:27:40.099 have double -checked and updated this stuff. 00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:46.539 Rawley is the only one listed for the WBA. Okay, 00:27:46.619 --> 00:27:51.240 maybe they did. When did they elevate him? That 00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:56.920 I don't see. Okay, well, I guess that is all 00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:59.579 garbage and you can probably cut it. Nah, it's 00:27:59.579 --> 00:28:02.799 fine. That is just me being confused by all the 00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:05.880 fucking extra belts they have. Yeah, a lot of 00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:08.539 people are confused by him, including me, from 00:28:08.539 --> 00:28:12.000 time to time. Like we were talking about the 00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:16.680 global belt? I'm sorry, what? Yeah, how is that? 00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:21.119 And there's like the international belts? I don't 00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:27.440 know. Okay, according to Box Live, they elevated 00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:31.960 him on July 2nd, which means I just don't know 00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:37.329 what the fuck I'm talking about. Anyways. Oh, 00:28:37.410 --> 00:28:42.069 well. So, Rolly is officially a two -weight class 00:28:42.069 --> 00:28:44.650 world champion, and you guys all better put respect 00:28:44.650 --> 00:28:48.049 on his name. I think this is the funniest shit 00:28:48.049 --> 00:28:51.490 in the world. Beating Ryan honestly did give 00:28:51.490 --> 00:28:54.890 me a bit of respect for him, because he's been... 00:28:54.890 --> 00:28:59.589 He was marred. Like, he got sparked out by Tank 00:28:59.589 --> 00:29:04.710 after talking a lot of trash. expected. That's 00:29:04.710 --> 00:29:08.109 kind of like what his persona, the boxing persona 00:29:08.109 --> 00:29:15.430 is. And then he had that shit with Barroso. Yeah. 00:29:15.730 --> 00:29:21.829 And now he's putting it back together. Hopefully 00:29:21.829 --> 00:29:27.890 he gets some good fights. Yeah, I don't know. 00:29:27.930 --> 00:29:30.170 I don't know who they'll have Raleigh fight next. 00:29:31.099 --> 00:29:36.279 He is seen as one of the weaker champions. I 00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:39.380 would rate him above Barrios. I was just going 00:29:39.380 --> 00:29:41.480 to say, maybe him and Barrios should fight next. 00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:47.039 To unify belts? Well, also, once and for all, 00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:53.140 prove who the worst champion is right now. Gotta 00:29:53.140 --> 00:30:09.960 be Barrios. Half an hour, I think. Just about. 00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:15.819 What other news do we have here? Boxer on BBC? 00:30:17.460 --> 00:30:22.779 Yeah. Are they officially signed with BBC? So 00:30:22.779 --> 00:30:26.579 my understanding is that there will be at least 00:30:26.579 --> 00:30:34.220 four Boxer fights on BBC1 and BBC2. Hmm. That's 00:30:34.220 --> 00:30:41.200 cool. It's on free -to -air. Yeah. TV, so that's 00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:49.440 always good. Might be more accessible with VPN 00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:59.359 than Sky was. Maybe. I used a VPN into Britain 00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:04.519 to watch Scrapyard Wars. Some of their old reality 00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:08.930 TV shows I really liked. I think the American 00:31:08.930 --> 00:31:11.990 version was called Junkyard Wars. Great, great 00:31:11.990 --> 00:31:16.549 TV. Never heard of either of them. Okay, so they're 00:31:16.549 --> 00:31:20.329 given a challenge, like, I don't know, build 00:31:20.329 --> 00:31:25.349 an amphibious motor vehicle, and then they'd 00:31:25.349 --> 00:31:28.029 have to take it on a race course. But it's just 00:31:28.029 --> 00:31:31.490 they drop four guys with one expert who knows 00:31:31.490 --> 00:31:35.170 how to design this sort of thing in an actual 00:31:35.170 --> 00:31:39.190 scrapyard. It's all just used vehicles and stuff. 00:31:39.329 --> 00:31:41.289 And they have to run around and find the parts 00:31:41.289 --> 00:31:45.390 they need and cobble together this thing. That 00:31:45.390 --> 00:31:48.329 actually sounds pretty fun. It was super fun. 00:31:48.589 --> 00:31:51.230 The American version I'm pretty sure was Junkyard 00:31:51.230 --> 00:31:53.410 Wars and the British version was Scrapyard Wars. 00:31:53.670 --> 00:32:00.589 And both are great cinema. Peak. Highly recommend. 00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:11.240 All right, let me tie some bows up here. Just 00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:16.480 a little bit of housekeeping notes. So, LVX Media 00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:19.400 Net. That's the social media handle. That's the 00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:21.799 social media handle on everything. If you can't 00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:25.579 find us, chances are we're not on it. I'm pretty 00:32:25.579 --> 00:32:31.299 savvy on setting those up, so if you can't find 00:32:31.299 --> 00:32:36.509 it, let me know.

If you want to 00:32:41.470 --> 00:32:43.670 step it up a little bit, leave a rating. If you're 00:32:43.670 --> 00:32:49.170 not feeling five stars. My number, 833 -589 -7637. 00:32:49.809 --> 00:32:53.029 That's my number. You can call me and tell me 00:32:53.029 --> 00:32:55.670 all about it. Tell me why I suck. Why I'm not 00:32:55.670 --> 00:32:58.930 a five star man. And give me a chance to correct 00:32:58.930 --> 00:33:04.730 it. If you really don't like the new ad system, 00:33:04.990 --> 00:33:08.049 which I would not blame you one bit because it's 00:33:08.049 --> 00:33:11.109 not just me doing product testimonials. It's 00:33:11.109 --> 00:33:13.670 a bunch of weird shit. If you don't like them, 00:33:13.730 --> 00:33:19.769 patreon .com slash lbxmedianet. Same handle there 00:33:19.769 --> 00:33:24.589 as everywhere else. All right. So this is where 00:33:24.589 --> 00:33:28.750 the shitty ads go. If you don't like them, you 00:33:28.750 --> 00:33:32.799 know what you got to do. Alright, be right back. 00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:40.900 So, fights, fights, fights. I have to admit, 00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:43.559 Leo, I didn't watch all of these. It's alright. 00:33:43.819 --> 00:33:47.380 I might not be super good for the reviews this 00:33:47.380 --> 00:33:53.480 week. I didn't watch quite all of them. Joshua 00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:57.819 Edwards gets a TKO in one over Cayman Audi. It 00:33:57.819 --> 00:34:02.869 was... Cayman... Just didn't really belong in 00:34:02.869 --> 00:34:09.849 the same ring. Regis Progre gets a UD over Jojo 00:34:09.849 --> 00:34:15.690 Diaz. I heard this was low -key a banger. I haven't 00:34:15.690 --> 00:34:17.889 watched it. A lot of people are calling this 00:34:17.889 --> 00:34:23.409 fight of the year contender. Seriously. Battle 00:34:23.409 --> 00:34:27.110 of the washed. They were both just the right 00:34:27.110 --> 00:34:31.349 amount of washed. It was actually pretty fucking 00:34:31.349 --> 00:34:35.050 entertaining. I'll have to go find it. I recommend 00:34:35.050 --> 00:34:38.190 checking it out. This one's DAZN, right? Yes. 00:34:39.570 --> 00:34:46.630 I was expecting better from Regis. His defense 00:34:46.630 --> 00:34:49.610 was fucking dog shit. He kept his hands down 00:34:49.610 --> 00:34:52.869 despite getting tagged and buzzed consistently. 00:34:55.769 --> 00:35:02.480 Unacceptable from ProGrey. What's Diaz on now? 00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:07.920 Eight. He's lost eight of his last ten. Wow. 00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:15.559 Let me see if I can count here. Six. Seven. He's 00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:20.480 lost seven of his last nine, I guess. I would 00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:22.460 say in this one he gave a good account of himself. 00:35:23.300 --> 00:35:26.780 So, it might be a loss, but I wouldn't hold it 00:35:26.780 --> 00:35:32.059 against him too badly. I guess, but at a certain 00:35:32.059 --> 00:35:35.360 point. Yeah, it does become too much. Yeah, you're 00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:41.539 right. What weight was this fight at? 140. Diaz 00:35:41.539 --> 00:35:44.900 does not belong at 140. If Regis is getting buzzed 00:35:44.900 --> 00:35:52.880 by a 140 JoJo. A 130 fucking contender. I think 00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:59.159 champion at one point. Good fight in the main 00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:03.139 event. Oscar Duarte gets the majority decision 00:36:03.139 --> 00:36:07.380 over Kenneth Sims. The two cards that were not 00:36:07.380 --> 00:36:15.039 draws were 7 -5 and 8 -4. It was that close. 00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:19.739 Very good performance from both guys. I liked 00:36:19.739 --> 00:36:23.119 what Sims was doing a little bit more. I thought 00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:28.380 he was landing the cleaner punches. But I guess 00:36:28.380 --> 00:36:31.900 the volume and pressure from Duarte got a lot 00:36:31.900 --> 00:36:38.639 of people excited. The fan score on BoxRec was 00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:44.780 115 -113 for Duarte. Yeah, that's not unfair. 00:36:47.480 --> 00:36:52.980 I want to see Oscar Duarte do something. He rates. 00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:59.739 Yeah, that's what I mean. I know he lost to Ryan 00:36:59.739 --> 00:37:02.599 Garcia, but part of that was, I think, the ref's 00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:08.019 fault, to be honest. I think Duarte can get a 00:37:08.019 --> 00:37:12.980 belt, possibly. I think he's up there. At 140. 00:37:15.019 --> 00:37:20.579 He is, I think, the mandatory for Antoine Russell. 00:37:22.110 --> 00:37:25.969 Oh, I don't know if he beats... I don't know 00:37:25.969 --> 00:37:31.789 if he beats him. But that's an awesome fight. 00:37:31.949 --> 00:37:36.550 Two high output, high pressure types. That would 00:37:36.550 --> 00:37:41.710 be fucking fireworks. Yeah, I would be up for 00:37:41.710 --> 00:37:45.409 watching that. Would also like to see him up 00:37:45.409 --> 00:37:50.880 against Subril Matias. Another... Good clash 00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:58.380 of styles. Also fun. What else we got here? I 00:37:58.380 --> 00:38:03.940 don't... Hitchens never makes me excited. Same. 00:38:07.300 --> 00:38:13.380 What about Duarte Tio? I think that Tio Fimo 00:38:13.380 --> 00:38:19.320 is gifted enough. I think Tio wins, but I think 00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:21.699 it could be a fun fight. I don't see it going 00:38:21.699 --> 00:38:25.980 too differently from Barbossa. Fair enough. Other 00:38:25.980 --> 00:38:28.619 than Duarte maybe having a little bit more success. 00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:31.940 Might even take a few rounds off of Tio, but 00:38:31.940 --> 00:38:35.719 I don't see it going that differently. Personally. 00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:40.239 Yeah, I just think it might be fun. I think Tio 00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:45.019 wins, unless Tio comes in stupid. Which is very 00:38:45.019 --> 00:38:52.219 possible. Very possible. Anything more? Oh, go 00:38:52.219 --> 00:38:54.699 ahead. No, I was going to say, I was just looking 00:38:54.699 --> 00:38:57.900 at the standings. 140 is a more fun weight class 00:38:57.900 --> 00:39:01.099 than I was thinking right now. I guess a bunch 00:39:01.099 --> 00:39:04.719 of those guys moved up that I don't like. Like 00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:16.800 Devin Haney? Yeah. Ryan Garcia? Yeah. Oh, this 00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:19.260 is 140. I was thinking, I was like, where's Shakur? 00:39:19.739 --> 00:39:26.980 But he's one down. I'm interested to see what 00:39:26.980 --> 00:39:37.099 Andy Hiraoka is going to do. Yeah, he's... He's 00:39:37.099 --> 00:39:39.980 not typical Japanese style fighting. That's for 00:39:39.980 --> 00:39:47.300 sure. No. I don't know. I think he's going to 00:39:47.300 --> 00:39:51.880 do better than the Japanese usually do at 140. 00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:56.260 But I don't know if he's as good as people are 00:39:56.260 --> 00:39:59.619 trying to make him. I think he needs some more 00:39:59.619 --> 00:40:04.500 tests. I would like to see Andy Hiraoka versus 00:40:04.500 --> 00:40:08.500 Oscar Duarte. That would be pretty damn good. 00:40:09.460 --> 00:40:13.460 That could be fun, yeah, actually. Because Andy 00:40:13.460 --> 00:40:18.829 is super athletic. I would say maybe like a diet 00:40:18.829 --> 00:40:22.010 Teofimo, only because we haven't seen Andy really 00:40:22.010 --> 00:40:28.389 tested by anyone. Yeah, I was trying to look 00:40:28.389 --> 00:40:31.989 at his box rec here real quick. He beat Jin Sasaki 00:40:31.989 --> 00:40:35.969 a few years ago. I didn't know that. Who, Andy? 00:40:36.670 --> 00:40:44.539 Yeah. By technical knockout. Does that diminish 00:40:44.539 --> 00:40:52.039 the Brian Norman knockout? No, just the way that 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:54.239 Brian Norman knocked him out. That was crazy. 00:40:54.739 --> 00:41:01.880 Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I'm on the fence about 00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:06.260 Hiroyuki. Not on the fence whether he's good 00:41:06.260 --> 00:41:10.289 or not, but how far he'll go. I would like to 00:41:10.289 --> 00:41:12.389 see him in some step -up fights, though. I agree. 00:41:12.489 --> 00:41:15.610 Him versus Duarte would be good. It's a dangerous 00:41:15.610 --> 00:41:20.389 fight for both of them, though. It is. That's 00:41:20.389 --> 00:41:23.510 why it's so good. That's why it'll never happen. 00:41:26.829 --> 00:41:32.949 Buzzkill. My job. Well, let's keep it rolling. 00:41:34.289 --> 00:41:39.019 Because this one needs a buzzkill as well. Jerwin 00:41:39.019 --> 00:41:41.400 on Cajas really quick. Majority decision over 00:41:41.400 --> 00:41:46.760 Ruben Casero. Jerwin moved up to 122 for some 00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:56.280 reason. Money? I guess. He was okay at 115. He 00:41:56.280 --> 00:42:01.199 was solid at 115. He was okay at 118, but I don't 00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:03.619 know what he's thinking. Was he chasing Inouye? 00:42:03.880 --> 00:42:13.360 Inouye payday? I don't know. Yeah. I mean, he 00:42:13.360 --> 00:42:17.659 already got beat by Inouye, didn't he? No. Not 00:42:17.659 --> 00:42:23.320 that I recall. The other Inouye. Oh. Yeah. Okay. 00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:28.960 The younger brother beat him at 118. Bring out 00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:31.579 the buzzsaw because we need a buzzkill. Gabe 00:42:31.579 --> 00:42:38.530 Rosado gets a K01. I will not buzzkill. Gabe 00:42:38.530 --> 00:42:41.190 Rosado, although he should not be fighting. Yeah, 00:42:41.250 --> 00:42:44.670 that's what I mean. I know, I know. I want him 00:42:44.670 --> 00:42:48.789 to not fight anymore, but that was a pretty good 00:42:48.789 --> 00:42:54.829 knockout. It was. But yeah, no. Gabe should get 00:42:54.829 --> 00:42:59.750 back on the microphone. That's his job now. What's 00:42:59.750 --> 00:43:03.349 funny, I think, is that they found a guy. Gabe 00:43:03.349 --> 00:43:07.510 Rosado's 26, 17, and 1. And they found an opponent 00:43:07.510 --> 00:43:12.710 who is also 26, 17, and 1. That is pretty funny. 00:43:12.789 --> 00:43:15.929 That's a very specific record. Right, a very 00:43:15.929 --> 00:43:21.210 specific opponent that you're looking for. Also 00:43:21.210 --> 00:43:24.989 about the same age -ish, which can't be that 00:43:24.989 --> 00:43:36.940 easy. Yeah, Gabe should not be fighting. It was 00:43:36.940 --> 00:43:42.519 a fun knockout. Anything more? Nah. For Gabe? 00:43:43.539 --> 00:43:46.800 So yeah, that's the recaps. Into some upcoming 00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:55.440 shit. On the 15th, Pro Box at the Pro Box Event 00:43:55.440 --> 00:44:01.019 Center in Florida. It's a Pro Box card, so you 00:44:01.019 --> 00:44:03.280 can expect some good matchups, even if you don't 00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:07.230 recognize any of the names. The Vaya brothers 00:44:07.230 --> 00:44:12.929 are both fighting. So that's fun. William Foster. 00:44:13.150 --> 00:44:18.670 He's been on a few times. This opponent name 00:44:18.670 --> 00:44:24.030 is fucking wild. Muhammad Kuja. Muhammad Kuja. 00:44:24.269 --> 00:44:35.070 The KH is a phlegm. Yakubov. So... Have you heard 00:44:35.070 --> 00:44:38.849 of... From Tajikistan. No surprise that he's 00:44:38.849 --> 00:44:41.849 from one of those. I don't know if I've ever 00:44:41.849 --> 00:44:44.750 seen a different fighter from Tajikistan, though, 00:44:44.809 --> 00:44:50.409 is all I'm saying. His manager is Kambosis. Is 00:44:50.409 --> 00:44:54.210 it? According to BoxRec, yeah, it's Jim Kambosis. 00:44:54.489 --> 00:45:03.199 Wow. They got a star on their hands. So... One 00:45:03.199 --> 00:45:06.039 thing that's funny about his last name, Yakubov, 00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:12.980 is there is this group in the U .S. called Nation 00:45:12.980 --> 00:45:21.380 of Islam. And in their sort of creation myth 00:45:21.380 --> 00:45:28.719 for their religion, this is according to Nation 00:45:28.719 --> 00:45:32.010 of Islam, you know, not these... Does not represent 00:45:32.010 --> 00:45:36.130 my deluxe media specs or feelings or opinions 00:45:36.130 --> 00:45:40.510 or anything. There is an evil demigod named Yakub. 00:45:41.269 --> 00:45:46.610 And all white people come from Yakub, the evil 00:45:46.610 --> 00:45:51.550 demigod. Right. And so this guy's name is Yakubov. 00:45:51.750 --> 00:45:58.030 He's the son of Yakub. It's pretty funny. Yeah, 00:45:58.449 --> 00:46:06.019 very well done. Yeah, Nation of Islam is a little 00:46:06.019 --> 00:46:11.340 wacky. Yeah, I said it. Deal with it. Moving 00:46:11.340 --> 00:46:17.340 on. 360 Promotions at the Chumash Casino in California. 00:46:18.340 --> 00:46:22.039 A bunch of shit on here that I don't really care 00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:25.440 about up until the co -main Omar Trinidad versus 00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:33.579 Lorenzo Barra. It's for a WBC trinket. And Omar's 00:46:33.579 --> 00:46:39.539 kind of like one of their better names. It's 00:46:39.539 --> 00:46:40.900 not saying a whole lot. I don't think I've ever 00:46:40.900 --> 00:46:43.780 seen him either, to be honest. You're not missing 00:46:43.780 --> 00:46:49.659 a whole lot. But in the main event, Mizuki Hiruta. 00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:56.260 Mimi. I'm excited. Versus Naomi Cardenas. I don't 00:46:56.260 --> 00:46:59.829 think I know Naomi. I don't think I do either. 00:47:01.070 --> 00:47:07.570 She's only had nine fights. RJ Alert. Yes. Yeah, 00:47:07.630 --> 00:47:12.230 she cute. All right. Anyway, should be fun. If 00:47:12.230 --> 00:47:14.309 nothing else, Mimi will have amazing clothes, 00:47:14.489 --> 00:47:18.530 like she always does. WBO super flyweight title 00:47:18.530 --> 00:47:26.190 on the line. And the meat of the dish on the 00:47:26.190 --> 00:47:32.530 16th. in riyadh saudi arabia i listed this one 00:47:32.530 --> 00:47:35.869 it's matchroom and queensberry all i don't know 00:47:35.869 --> 00:47:42.030 if it's a versus i don't think it is but regardless 00:47:42.030 --> 00:47:45.730 i've listed this as british for the promotion 00:47:45.730 --> 00:47:48.889 it's gonna be fair enough so the zone pay -per 00:47:48.889 --> 00:47:52.690 -view uh it's a pay -per -view yeah in the u 00:47:52.690 --> 00:47:57.780 .s it is I feel like they're not setting up the 00:47:57.780 --> 00:48:03.199 Talma for success here. I mean, I guess there's 00:48:03.199 --> 00:48:07.400 a couple good names on this. There are. If it's 00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:11.039 one of the not $90 pay -per -views, it's probably 00:48:11.039 --> 00:48:15.599 worth it. I, of course, will be purchasing this. 00:48:16.539 --> 00:48:19.280 Of course. And I will be very glad to do so. 00:48:19.860 --> 00:48:27.940 I will be so happy. On the card, Hayato Tsutsumi 00:48:27.940 --> 00:48:34.619 versus Kais Ashwak. Yeah, I don't know who the 00:48:34.619 --> 00:48:40.420 B -side is. Hayato's the less good brother. I 00:48:40.420 --> 00:48:43.460 mean, he's not terrible, but he's never impressed 00:48:43.460 --> 00:48:51.079 me. Yeah, like, his ceiling has so far been... 00:48:52.360 --> 00:49:00.059 The Otashi Gym. Korakuen Hall. He fights in Oda 00:49:00.059 --> 00:49:03.659 City a lot. He's on Ioka's undercards. Usually. 00:49:04.039 --> 00:49:09.940 Alright. That's fun. He's not terrible. They 00:49:09.940 --> 00:49:18.719 really are pushing him and he's fine. Yeah. That's 00:49:18.719 --> 00:49:22.929 a really good descriptor. He's fine. Maybe he's 00:49:22.929 --> 00:49:25.369 better than I think he is, but he has never impressed 00:49:25.369 --> 00:49:28.190 me. But I've also never been like, this guy's 00:49:28.190 --> 00:49:34.349 shit, so... You know. Oh, well, speaking of I 00:49:34.349 --> 00:49:36.949 don't know if this guy's shit, Filip Hergovich 00:49:36.949 --> 00:49:44.389 versus David Adelaide. This might be a good matchup. 00:49:44.489 --> 00:49:49.250 It is. They're at a good commensurate levels 00:49:49.250 --> 00:49:54.289 with each other, but... But turn into a low -key 00:49:54.289 --> 00:49:59.690 banger, maybe? This one stands on the edge of 00:49:59.690 --> 00:50:02.630 a blade. This can either be a low -key banger, 00:50:02.769 --> 00:50:05.570 or it's going to be like a heavyweight slopfest. 00:50:06.550 --> 00:50:12.869 It's going to be one of the two. Yeah, it's two 00:50:12.869 --> 00:50:15.670 mid -heavyweights. So it's either going to be 00:50:15.670 --> 00:50:20.429 they mesh perfectly and it's fun, or it's like... 00:50:22.299 --> 00:50:29.119 Jab, jab, clinch. I don't know. I'm trying to 00:50:29.119 --> 00:50:30.960 be optimistic, but this is probably going to 00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:36.800 suck. Ray Ford versus Abraham Nova. I don't think 00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:38.820 this one will suck. This one should be pretty 00:50:38.820 --> 00:50:44.679 good. I think Ray Ford takes this. Yeah. Pretty 00:50:44.679 --> 00:50:47.920 easily. I'm sure if Abraham... I wonder if Abraham 00:50:47.920 --> 00:50:52.469 Nova is going to bring his... His mascot? Yeah. 00:50:52.710 --> 00:50:58.949 I think it'll be there. That'll be fun. How old 00:50:58.949 --> 00:51:03.289 is Nova now? Because he's not young, is he? Yeah, 00:51:03.309 --> 00:51:08.010 he's 31. The walkout will be a show, if nothing 00:51:08.010 --> 00:51:13.289 else. Man, his beard trips me out every time. 00:51:14.130 --> 00:51:22.719 I love it. Just be weird, dude. Nick Ball versus 00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:29.460 Sam Goodman. Why? I don't rate Sam Goodman, but 00:51:29.460 --> 00:51:34.719 I don't rate his chances against Nick Ball, rather. 00:51:36.159 --> 00:51:39.119 I think Nick Ball's going to take him apart pretty 00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:45.500 quickly. I don't know if this goes six. Yeah, 00:51:45.500 --> 00:51:50.699 I'm not excited for this fight at all. Are you 00:51:50.699 --> 00:51:53.300 excited for Moses Atama versus Dillian White? 00:51:54.119 --> 00:51:57.340 I kind of am. I don't even watch heavyweights, 00:51:57.340 --> 00:52:00.860 and I'm kind of excited for those. What's the 00:52:00.860 --> 00:52:07.059 percentage or the odds on White getting knocked 00:52:07.059 --> 00:52:11.559 out by an uppercut? Oh, fuck. Specifically an 00:52:11.559 --> 00:52:14.860 uppercut. Of all the punches that knock people 00:52:14.860 --> 00:52:18.360 out or knock Dillian White out, that's the one. 00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:24.619 I will be super disappointed if Itauma has not 00:52:24.619 --> 00:52:27.980 been just, like, fucking spamming uppercuts in 00:52:27.980 --> 00:52:32.800 the gym. That big, like, water bag, just uppercut. 00:52:34.420 --> 00:52:38.900 Non -stop. Yeah. I might have to jump on one 00:52:38.900 --> 00:52:43.380 of those stupid gambling websites and drop $2 00:52:43.380 --> 00:52:49.420 on knockout by uppercut. Prop bet. Yeah. But! 00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:53.059 How fucking hilarious is it going to be if Dillian 00:52:53.059 --> 00:52:56.559 White somehow derails the Atalma trade? Oh my 00:52:56.559 --> 00:53:02.139 goodness. I would ask you for lottery numbers. 00:53:04.519 --> 00:53:07.860 How the fuck did you just like kind of passively 00:53:07.860 --> 00:53:13.059 hint at it and it came to be? I think the chances 00:53:13.059 --> 00:53:16.110 are pretty low, but I would love it. Just because 00:53:16.110 --> 00:53:18.849 I do not give a shit about heavyweights at all. 00:53:18.949 --> 00:53:23.070 I have no skin in this game. And the Atalma train 00:53:23.070 --> 00:53:27.170 being derailed by Dillian White, of all people. 00:53:28.730 --> 00:53:34.690 I would love it. That's all we got. I have to 00:53:34.690 --> 00:53:38.409 say, I don't recognize any names on Atalma's 00:53:38.409 --> 00:53:47.030 record. I know he's young, but... Marius Wach, 00:53:47.130 --> 00:53:55.769 I recognize. That's it. So this is his first, 00:53:55.789 --> 00:53:58.670 like, real big step up. As much as Dillian White 00:53:58.670 --> 00:54:04.809 is kind of whatever, it's a big step up. It could 00:54:04.809 --> 00:54:11.170 happen. I can't get over that one time that Dillian 00:54:11.170 --> 00:54:15.139 White, he fought Christian Hammer. In a closed 00:54:15.139 --> 00:54:20.679 -door event that had no judges. It was just the 00:54:20.679 --> 00:54:27.079 referee. Referee scoring. Yeah, that was so fucking 00:54:27.079 --> 00:54:32.659 weird. In Ireland, right? Then he goes to Gibraltar 00:54:32.659 --> 00:54:42.659 to fight Ebenezer fucking Teta. Yeah. Fun. That's 00:54:42.659 --> 00:54:47.480 it? That's it. That's all we got. I need to dig 00:54:47.480 --> 00:54:50.219 up a lot of gossip and shit for next week as 00:54:50.219 --> 00:55:00.019 well. Let me make a noise.

So we're 00:56:18.219 --> 00:56:27.719 heading into Mimi and Atalma weekend. Parting 00:56:27.719 --> 00:56:32.199 words. Okay, I've been wanting to plug a website 00:56:32.199 --> 00:56:35.539 I really like, not sponsored or anything. It's 00:56:35.539 --> 00:56:39.320 called Zooniverse. So like universe, but with 00:56:39.320 --> 00:56:45.199 zoo, Z -O -O, instead of a U. And it is a place 00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:50.139 where scientists can put up data for the public 00:56:50.139 --> 00:56:54.880 to help them analyze. So that any sort of scientist 00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:59.510 can put stuff up. I like to do the trail cams 00:56:59.510 --> 00:57:03.769 so basically you get pictures from a trail cam 00:57:03.769 --> 00:57:08.750 and then you say if there is an animal how many 00:57:08.750 --> 00:57:12.289 animals and you guess what kind usually and it 00:57:12.289 --> 00:57:15.070 gives you like a little training thing for whatever 00:57:15.070 --> 00:57:17.710 you're doing and you don't have to worry if you 00:57:17.710 --> 00:57:21.610 make a mistake or something because like a hundred 00:57:21.610 --> 00:57:24.670 or so people are going to look at that same picture 00:57:24.670 --> 00:57:28.550 and If you make a mistake, the chances are 90 00:57:28.550 --> 00:57:31.889 other people didn't also make a mistake. So it 00:57:31.889 --> 00:57:35.949 lets them filter out like empty pictures and 00:57:35.949 --> 00:57:38.750 all that before the scientist actually sits down 00:57:38.750 --> 00:57:43.769 to check what they want to check. It's a public 00:57:43.769 --> 00:57:47.130 science thing that I just really like and it's 00:57:47.130 --> 00:57:49.230 kind of fun. You can find something you like. 00:57:49.289 --> 00:57:52.769 They have like astronomy. There was one where 00:57:52.769 --> 00:57:56.710 it was just scans of really, really old journals 00:57:56.710 --> 00:58:02.010 and you describe what the picture is and or hand 00:58:02.010 --> 00:58:05.670 type out the figure legend, that sort of thing. 00:58:07.460 --> 00:58:10.380 There's ones that are microscopes. Yeah, there's 00:58:10.380 --> 00:58:15.599 like microscope stuff. There's... I like the 00:58:15.599 --> 00:58:17.340 pictures of animals. Those are the ones I do. 00:58:17.800 --> 00:58:21.139 I feel like this could be a good thing for the 00:58:21.139 --> 00:58:28.000 Friday night things in Discord. Oh, yeah. This 00:58:28.000 --> 00:58:32.300 could be a good guessing game or something. Yeah, 00:58:32.340 --> 00:58:35.000 the problem would be we won't all get the same 00:58:35.000 --> 00:58:38.139 pictures. But I guess we could do it together. 00:58:38.219 --> 00:58:40.940 Somebody stream and everybody guess what animal. 00:58:41.139 --> 00:58:46.599 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just wanted to plug it. I 00:58:46.599 --> 00:58:48.800 don't think it's very famous, but I do think 00:58:48.800 --> 00:58:52.239 it helps the scientists that use it quite a bit. 00:58:53.199 --> 00:58:56.019 Yeah, that would be really helpful to have somebody 00:58:56.019 --> 00:58:59.619 filter through it. Then you can say, I do the 00:58:59.619 --> 00:59:03.150 science. That's what I do. Yeah. I like to do 00:59:03.150 --> 00:59:06.010 the ones from Africa or South America, but they 00:59:06.010 --> 00:59:09.829 have animals of Wisconsin. And it's just trail 00:59:09.829 --> 00:59:15.530 cams from Wisconsin. Or Michigan. You can do 00:59:15.530 --> 00:59:21.710 them from almost anywhere in the world. No chupacabras? 00:59:23.989 --> 00:59:26.809 I mean, maybe. If you look at enough pictures, 00:59:26.929 --> 00:59:35.280 you'll see a chupacabra. Fun. Well, parting words 00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:40.860 for me, Friday night Discord, lvx .be slash Discord. 00:59:42.119 --> 00:59:48.420 Get yourself joined up. That's it. Boxing before 00:59:48.420 --> 00:59:53.480 dark. My battery is getting low. And it is getting 00:59:53.480 --> 00:59:59.840 dark. It is getting dark. I completely lost those 00:59:59.840 --> 01:00:03.989 robot recordings that I made. I'm going to have 01:00:03.989 --> 01:00:08.269 to try to make some more. Maybe it's better if 01:00:08.269 --> 01:00:10.809 we just do it ourselves anyway. Yeah, probably.
