The B -Side in boxing. B -Side shit. B -Side.
B -Side. And the B -Side. You got a B -Side.
The B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. The B
-Side thing. This is the B -Sides Boxing Podcast.
Alright, let's fucking get into this. Weird picks
are Martin Castaño, actually. I got Martin Castaño
for... For Brian Castaño. He got fat as fuck
in between his first fight with Charlo and the
second. I would choose a burger, man. Oh, you're
right. How much booze does he need as a chaser
for it, though? The chaser's crazy. As a chaser
for a fucking burger? That's fucking nuts. Some
people need a chaser for a chaser, though. Let's
start. Yeah, let's get into this. Holy shit.
Boxing B -sides. It is a loaded room today. What
is all this burger talk? What is that? You're
going to have to go to Patreon to find out. Because
there's just way too much of that that's not
going to make it to the public release. Joined
by the homies, Josh, Saul. Got that. Learn his
real name. Learn his real name on the Patreon.
Yeah, I'll cut that out. And we got a special
special guest. Isaac from The Ultimate Fucking
Casuals. Yo, yo. This is like the Riyadh season
of podcasts. Yeah. They really got the guy from
the other side of the street coming. It's been
imported. Imported, yeah. Turkey a la chic paid
for him to be here. Cross -platform. It's casuals
versus B -sides, 2v2. Alright. So, since we have
one of the ultimate fucking casuals here, some
MMA coming up this weekend, if you are of the
persuasion. UFC 319 at the United Center in Chicago.
Uh, Isaac, what, other than the main event, which
one, which fight are you, uh, most looking forward
to on this, on the card? All right. Hold on.
I have, uh, I made, like, a special, like, boxing
fan guide. I've been starting to do it for, like,
pay -per -views. That's more fun than I've ever
done for one of these. Yeah. I, uh, you know,
because I understand sometimes, you know, people
don't want to see, like, uh, grappling in some
fights. I understand it. So I've made an official
guide for UFC 319. Basically, one of the big
fights that I feel is just sort of guaranteed
to be a banger. Jeff Neal versus Carlos Pratesh.
Jeff Neal is sort of like a veteran and he's
a hard -hitting veteran. Carlos Pratesh is like
this up -and -coming prospect who we've seen
recently have heavy hands himself. I feel like
this fight is just guaranteed to end in knockouts.
I mean, they're both stand -up strikers. I mean,
you know, they're always going forward, super
aggressive. So I feel like that's just guaranteed
to be a banger. A few others on the list. Tim
Elliott versus Kai Sakura. Kai Sakura is another
one of the Japanese dudes that they brought in.
He sort of got fed to the champion, Pantoja.
But, you know, this is his comeback fight, you
know, and Tim Elliott's not a scrub. So, you
know, I could see this being a decent scrub on
the feet. Another one, Edson Barbosa. You know,
he's got a little bit of the big boxing. Yeah,
yeah, that was Chief's favorite. But, yeah, Edson
Barbarossa versus Jakar Close. And then Brian
Battle versus Nur Sultan. Now, Brian Battle,
it's not going to be, like, super technical striking.
Like, he has negative head movement. So it will
be, like, a nice, like, stand -up striking fight.
You know, other fights that could potentially
be good, Jared Cannoneer versus Michael Venom
Page. Michael Venom Page, I believe, did a few
kickboxing fights. And Jared Kennedy, he's in
his 40s, but he's been hanging around sort of
like as a gatekeeper. But yeah, I think that
could be a good fight. And then King Green versus
Diego Ferreira. I think that could also be a
good fight. That's a little scrap, but yeah.
If you don't want to watch grappling, I perhaps
wouldn't recommend the main event, but it will
be exciting. I can say that the first round is
going to be super chaotic. I'm really excited
for UFC 319. If nothing else, you could watch
King Green and expect... You could bet on a knockout.
Yeah. Absolutely bet on a knockout. King Green
could go down another nasty one. Yeah. It's happened
a few times. But there you have it. That's the
Boxing Fan's Guide to UFC 319. We don't have
news on this one, but tune in next week. And
we do have a lot of shit to talk about. That's
in the news. Ali Yakt. Tank gets his charges
dropped. Among other things. Let's get into our
recaps here. Now, starting with Saturday, August
2nd. Golden Boy at the University of Illinois.
in Chicago. Saul, how excited are you for Joshua
Edwards with another Dynamite KO? I thought it
was every time he fights and every time I see
the same exact thing. He is the last bastion
of hope for the American heavyweight boxing.
I think that he is going to go far and I'm excited
to see where he's going to go next. You think
he's the bastion of hope over... Now that the
Titanweight... type of guys are starting to kind
of fade off into the sunset you don't think like
uh richard torres maybe dude the thing is rich
torres i think rich torres could be a good contender
the only the only problem with rich torres is
that he doesn't have as much skill as i could
see uh joshua edwards having and i could already
tell that joshua edwards uh in terms of skill
is already miles ahead of rich torres doesn't
matter right like rich torres i love rich torres
you know i'll always follow his career you know
he's He's one of our people, you know, but it's
just, I do think that Joshua Edwards does have
the goods and kind of passes the eye test as
well. Yeah, I've been pretty impressed with everything
that I've seen from him so far. He's been, yeah,
Last Bastion, we'll see, but he is definitely
like the premier hope for American heavyweights
right now. I mean, we only have him, Rick Torres,
Darrell Miller, Michael Hunter, Jared Anderson.
Michael Hunter? When was the last time Michael
Hunter fought? I'm not sure about Michael Hunter.
No, but we've got news on him, too. Yeah. He's
coming. Yeah, he's fighting, what's his face?
Pulev. Kubrat Pulev? Okay, bro. yeah that's he
is yeah i'm not joking he actually is no no i'm
not saying that as like i don't believe you i'm
saying that as like are we really saying kubrat's
a name to get back into contention dude apparently
the state of heavyweight it might be that's true
actually retires and vacates i believe like i'm
not exactly sure how it would work but i think
like as it is right now pula would be upgraded
to a full champ No, that'd be Chisora. That'd
be Chisora. Is Pulep not holding the belt? No,
let me find him. For the IBF, right? Probably.
IBF rankings. I got you. I'm pretty sure Parker
is the VO. So for the IBF, there's no number
one contender. There's no mandatory. Derek Chisora
is the top contender. Remember Chisora beat Pulev?
I think Kyle Bighton has the WBC interim. Chisora,
Jagba, Sanchez, Joshua, Itama, and then Hunter
at 7. That is nuts. Richard Torres at 8. Daniel
Dubois at 9, Anderson at 10, Bacoli at 11, and
then I don't care. Lawrence Bacoli at 15, but
the only thing he deserves are 15 baseball bats
to the knees. Quadruple bypasses. Give him 15
quadruple bypass burgers. Regardless, yes. Joshua
Edwards is... I don't know, man. I feel like
we got to really get behind him. We got to really
get behind him. He's our best hope, I feel like.
Yeah, he is. Oh, yeah, for sure. Let's move up.
Skip Tristan Calcutta. And Regis Progray gets
the UD over Jojo Diaz. Now, Jojo Diaz gave a
pretty good accounting of himself despite losing.
Josh, is that a testament to Jojo Diaz still
having it or Regis Progray being fucking hot
garbage? Okay, man. I'm a Regis defender, actually.
But man, Regis needs to go back to crashing golf
carts. The way Jojo, who has never had power
in his life, Jojo Diaz lands like, Well, clean
right hands on Devin Haney and can't even shake
him. And he's putting Progray on skates repeatedly.
Like, nah. This isn't... I don't think Progray
is going to go out pretty. If he gets another
shot. Yeah. Dude, I was trying to tell people
in the lead -up that this was going to be a good
fight. This is an old man's fight. Yeah, it's
an old man fight, but it did end up being a little
bit of a war there. I mean, JoJo somehow at super
lightweight was still managing to hurt Regis.
Fucking Regis. That was surprising, to say the
least. Yeah. Like, bro, just like Regis, seeing
Regis on skates like that's a little sad. Yeah,
I mean, we had like the little, you know, the
tea leaves were there whenever Haney dropped
them. That's true, actually. The tea leaves were
there. Yeah, I mean, if Haney dropped him, it
makes sense that JoJo dropped him. Almost. Yeah.
Not dropped him yet, you know. Bust. You know
what I mean. Got close. Oh, man. With this win,
does JoJo Diaz continue to be, I don't know,
something? What do you mean something? Like something
in the prison system or something? Something
of a name, I guess. Golden Boy needs who they
can have. I mean, Golden Boy needs all the names
they can get. True. Even if the notoriety is
from criminal activities at this point. Yeah,
they're desperate. I mean, they will take a nonce,
honestly. Like, they'll probably build up another
prospect to, like, 15 -0 and feed, like, JoJo
to them eventually. I'm surprised that Progre
was even on this card. I mean, he's a maximum
fighter. I don't know why they would... Wow.
Is he still? Are you sure, right? I thought he
moved over to Goldenboy. Yeah, I was about to
say, like, he totally... Like, for sure, after
Jack had a roll... And Devin Haney smoked him
back to back. Yeah, that's pretty sad. Honestly,
if you go to Golden Boy at that point in your
career, yeah, that's pretty cooked. You guys
see Jack Ketterl's threatening the fight again?
Yeah. He's been threatening the fight again.
I mean, I do feel threatened myself. I'm like,
do I really want to see that? No. I'll watch
it. I'll watch it because there's nothing on.
And I have to do some prep for these podcasts.
What could be next for Regis? Crashing a go -kart.
Main event, Oscar Duarte? Kenny Sims? A nice
little scrap. Yeah, I liked it. It was a lot
of fun. Yeah, it was better than I thought it
was going to be. I thought Duarte was possibly
going to get him out of there. But Sims, and
he had some nice counters. I mean, his boxing
was really good. If he actually had power, Duarte
could have been in some issues during that fight.
Alas. Alas. I will say that Duarte, I feel like
I don't want to... Dog on Duarte. I know he's
a hard hitter, but at the same time, I don't
really think he's a knockout artist when he kind
of moves up against top -level opponents, you
know? He's one of those nutting volume types.
Yeah. He just doesn't have the placement or the
sharpness to really get in there against the
better guy. And you can see it. Yeah. I think
he loses to the other champs. Like, I think Hitchens
probably outboxes him. Yeah. You know what? Matias
Duarte is a fun -ass fight, though. Same with
Cuello. Cuello is also fun. Yeah. At this point,
though, I feel like he probably deserves a title
shot, though. He's gathered a few wins. I disagree.
I don't think he deserves a title shot yet. You
don't think he deserves it? It's still a tough
division. You need a win against a guy who...
actually belongs near the top instead of... I
would say fight him versus Barboza first. True,
actually. That's a good show. From there, you'll
see if he's ready for a title shot or not. I
would say. Hell, have him fight Pueyo. Pueyo
just lost. Yeah, but Pueyo's a PBC fighter, so
that's a much harder fight to make. I would say
Barboza. Where's Sandor Barboza? Yeah, that's
true. I think that's a dumb fight to make, honestly.
Nah, don't punish us with Sandor. Yeah. Well,
I don't know. Martin versus Quayle was actually...
That was a good fight. Yeah, actually. Well,
it was a good fight, but what I mean by that
is I don't think he's going to win at all. Unless
they rob Sandor again, but... Oh, three times?
He's already used to it. Yeah, he's already used
to it. Might as well rob his ass again. Can you
do anything? Don't do my man Sandor like that.
Not again. Not again. Not again. What about Kenny
Sims? Where does he go from here? Because this
was a really competitive fight. I don't think
he should be written off as a nobody or like
a loser. Probably Probox. Yo, that's actually
good. That's a good show. Fully honestly, probably
Probox. Just for a nice little rebuild. Stick
around on the Provox circuit, have a couple fun
nights, and you're back on it for a chance to
actually make it work. Yeah, when a fighter doesn't
have a fight, a top -level fighter is lacking
some good opponents, you'll be pulled in, and
that's your biggest shot. We've seen a lot of
Provox alumni make the most of their chances.
Oh, yeah. It's good. Speaking of making the most
of one's chances, moving to Marv Nation. Quickly,
Jerwin on Cajas gets the majority decision over
Ruben Casero. I don't know why Jerwin is at 122
now. He wasn't a whole lot at 118. He was solid
at 115, but... Just age, man. I suppose. But
making the most of a chance, Gabe Rosado gets
the stoppage in one over Crispulo Andino. Something
fun about this one. Gabe Rosado came into this
26 -17 -1. And Andino also 26 -17 -1. It's a
really selective, very pointedly chosen opponent.
A future Berlanga opponent right here. A future
Canelo opponent, honestly. At this point. Oh,
man. You know what? Make Rosado Berlanga. To
be the king of Puerto Rico? Hell yeah. I feel
like they're both about as bad. I mean, Gabe
Rosado does have an experience. I mean, there's
that, you know? Yeah. So. It's something like
175, though. I don't know if Gabe Rosado would
want to go back to 168. I think Berlanga's willing
to just, like, a fat fuck and make 175, like...
Quadruple ass burger. Berlanga, like... Let's
not treat Berlanga like a serious contender.
That's a fun event that's realistic for both
guys to do. Berlanga is not serious. He can totally
bounce between weight classes. I'm glad he could.
I think Gabe Rosado should stop fighting. I'm
not sure why he came back. It's not like... You
come back to fight on MarvNation, it's like you're
not... This isn't, like, Riyadh season money.
MarvNation money? That check is bouncing, most
likely, for the first of all. Like, the five
guys they gave you at the venue after your fight
is what you're getting paid. And maybe a shower.
Nah, yeah, that came out of your bill, your fighter
fees. Yeah, it was a hot shower, so you should...
Cold shower? Yeah, we can give you change for
the bus home. Hot shower? Not happening. So...
Yeah, I don't know. I think I read something
about there being a... him chasing a Berlanga
fight, which... As sad as it is, it's realistic
and also it'd be hilarious if Berlanga got knocked
out by Gabe Rosado. Fuck it, Gabe Rosado versus
Jake Paul. Not terrible. Not terrible, and I
also have Jake Paul winning that because Gabe
Rosado is not only not great, but he is also
ancient. He's old school. It does get Gabe Rosado
paid. This is true. Berlanga and Jake Paul paydays
back to back. Fair enough, man. That's something
you could fuck off into the sunset with. Yeah.
Hopefully, anyway. Man, that's all we got for
our recaps. It was light. Let me toss some notes

This will be on YouTube. It's free. If you're

like the only good boxing on nowadays. Yeah,
you don't necessarily know who any of these people
are. If you're going into this blind, it's fine.
You're going to get some good matchups. Competitive
fights, if nothing else. There's going to be
a lot of competitive fights. Two guys that are
on here. Dominic and Marquez Valle, both of them
are a Pro Box alum, and they're decent. William
Foster in the main event versus Muhammad Kuja
Yakubov. This is a bit of a deep cut, but how
familiar are you guys with Nation of Islam? Not
at all. That's fine. Malcolm X. Right. So in
the Nation of Islam sort of creation myth...
Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Sorry. I thought
you were talking... Yeah, Yakub. Yeah, yeah.
The guy who did the white race. The evil demigod
that created white people is Yakub. So this guy's
name is Yakubov. So he's the son of Yakub. he's
a son of yeah interesting so uh this does not
reflect lux media's you know stances or opinions
or anything like that uh it's just that's nation
of islam man that's how they get down i don't
know man i've watched enough british boxing white
people might actually be the devil white people
might actually be the devil if you watch enough
british boxing I had to watch a Campbell hat
and co -main in my lifetime. White people might
be the devil. This is how we're going to get
popular. It's going to get canceled. Left -wing
grifting. But there you go. That's the main event,
is the son of Yakub. And William Foster. And
William Foster. Also... It's on the same day.
The time will offset enough that you could catch
both main events. 360 promotions. This is on,
for some fucking reason, this is on UFC Fight
Pass. I don't know why. Oh, my God. Oh, who's
their promoter? It might be that Loeffler dude.
Yeah, it's Tom Loeffler. Oh, yeah, 360, 360.
360 promotions. Yeah, yeah. You're right. Sorry,
buddy. I'm not getting Fight Pass just for you.
So there's a bunch of shit on here I don't really
care about. Moving up to the co -main, Omar Trinidad.
He's one of their better prospects, and that's
a very generous use of the term better prospect.
But he's fighting Lorenzo Parra. So isn't that
fun? It's a WBC something or other on the line
here. Trinket, trinket. Continental America's
featherweight. Wonderful. In the main event,
Mizuki Hiruta is fighting Naomi Gomez. Mizuki,
if nothing else, expect some fun ring attire,
walkout attire. Yeah. She's like high fashion,
fast fat, or not fast, but high fashion. Has
like a benefactor. That's. Really. A high level
designer. But. The main reason we're here. Saturday
August 16th. Starts about midday. For some fucking
reason. DAZN is making this a pay per view. In
the US. I am. I'm very unhappy. I'm really disappointed
that this is a pay -per -view. It has some good
names on it, make no mistake, but is this pay
-per -view worthy? Absolutely not. No, no, no,
no way. Dude, this is UFC pay -per -view worthy.
This is, yeah, this is not pay -per -view worthy,
really. Ah, no, I think if Isaac cares about
the sport, he'd admit that UFC pay -per -views
have been a sham. Yeah, $80, bro? Yeah, like,
come on. Every single time. Every single time,
$80. Come on. Have some respect, bro. Anyways,
on to the fights. Yeah, starting from the bottom,
Hayato Tsutsumi, he's one of his fucksalencies
favorites. versus Kais Ashvak. This is a feeding.
That's a feeding, by the way. Tsutsumi's going
to absolutely destroy Ashvak. Yeah, that's the
plan. Yeah. Not a feeding. Maybe not. Filip Hergovich
versus David Adelaide. I hope to God they look
interested. Like, if they show up, like, both
uninterested this is going to be a very smelly
fight yeah when i was talking to shinada i said
this one this fight is dancing on the the edge
of a like a edge of a blade this could either
go this could be they're both just shitty enough
and the styles match up well enough that this
is going to be really fucking exciting or it's
going to be hot garbage Yeah, like Rock 'em Sock
'em Robots or like No One's Punching Anyone.
I'm really thinking it's going to end up being
like No One's Punching Anyone. Yeah, Hergovich
is going to show up like 20 pounds overweight
and just wheeze his way to a decision. That's
not the official prediction. That's like the
worst outcome. Yeah. I'm hopeful that it'll be.
That Hergovich will make it fun. Adelaide can
be drawn into some brawls. So, yeah, I'm hopeful.
I remember when Philip Hergovich was touted as
the boogeyman. Oh, yeah. He was the next Bushko,
bro. This is the issue as well. Did he not say
he would retire if he lost to Dubois? Did he
not say that? Did he? I say it all the time.
Herkovich says a lot of things, and then... I
feel like I have to lean Herkovich in this fight,
but I don't know. Yeah, you just have to lean
Herkovich, because Adelai's out here getting
fucking raffle stomped by Fabio Wardley. Was
it TKV he had fights with too, no? Or who was
it? He's out here getting violated by Fabio Wardley,
and then like... Technically, Hergovich only
ever lost to Dubois. World -level contender.
World -ish level contender. Two bums? Two bums.
Two bums. Nah, two bums was Hergovich's last
fight where he showed up at like 250 to go try
to be slower than Joe Joyce. That's actually
crazy. They looked about the same speed, which
was like, come on, man. How is that possible?
Because Joe Joyce is comically slow. Joe Joyce
was, like, birthed in a tub of molasses. Like,
that's what I mean. Moving up, Ray Ford versus
Abraham Nova. I'm actually pretty excited for
this. Yeah, this is going to be a good fight.
This is a good fight. this is a really good fight
for for ford and no novice by the way by the
way we do have to say kakachi straight up duck
uh raymond ford straight up dog i mean he at
least he vacated but this is a complete duck
yeah but yeah yeah i'm still excited for this
one though i'm still excited yeah no no was it
nova's not terrible either like he's a good good
selling contender His walkout will be fun. Oh,
yeah. I think Raymond Ford's going to take it,
though. Oh, Ford's going to take it for sure.
Even his fight with Nick Ball, you can probably
shade it his way, too. Raymond Ford is a bit
of a deceptive record in the sense that he's
absolutely at the top of his division. He just
got a couple bad shakes in his career. He's fourth
on box rec. For whatever that counts. Oh. You're
lying. Moving up. Nick Ball. Second on BoxRec.
I believe he's the WBA Titleist. He's fighting
Sam Goodman out of Australia. Undefeated Sam
Goodman. This isn't going to go good for... old
Sammy boy here. I will say, I would love Sam
Goodman to win. That would be hilarious. The
thing is, Australian champion Nick Ball, I think
it'd be way funnier if Inoue or Nakatani moved
up and fought Nick Ball and sent his head into
the third row. Yeah, but I mean, I want to see
Nick Ball lose a title no matter what, just because
right now there's no risk. Yeah, but like a shitty
decision to Sam Goodman or like Inouye sending
his head into the third row. Whatever, he takes
away the title, honestly. Oh, my God. I mean,
this is the UK's only champ. This is really the
UK's only champ. Oh, you're right, actually.
Actually, never mind. I take that back. If he's
the UK's only champ, then get rid of that title.
They've had an active champion for the last,
like, 30 or 40 years. Just consistently breaking
this streak. I want Sam Goodman to fucking break
that streak. That would just be too funny. We're
pulling for Sam Goodman. Lux Media is behind
Sam Goodman. Let's go, Goodman. Moving up to
the main event, Moses Itauma. versus Dillian
White. This is probably the shittiest fight on
this card. When was the last time Dillian White
was in shape? And I can tell you. I can tell
you. Teta, bro. That was barely. No, in shape?
I don't know if Teta was in shape. I guess round
is a shape. Yeah. Nah, he pulled up to the first
Povetkin fight in shape. The one where he got...
We saw what happened there, yeah. Yeah, I know.
He looked so good. He does the first time I've
ever seen him, like, box without looking like
he was going to, like, jump out of the ring.
And he fucking lost. And it was so funny. The
funniest shit I've ever seen. The first time
he actually looked competent in my life. I'm
pretty sure he knows his role, but it would be
funny if, you know, I hate to say it, but it
would be pretty funny if Moses Atomic gets knocked
out by fucking Dillian White. Dillian White left
hook. It's like, it destroys the UK's boxing
hopes for the future. Yeah, bro. Dave Allen.
Dave Allen is now your top heavyweight. I mean,
imagine Nick Ball and Moe Zaitama losing one
night. Dave Allen is now your best heavyweight.
God bless. That is dire straits. I mean, Bond's
playing a dangerous game here, you know? It's
not dangerous. Dillian White, come on. Like,
I, like, unless Itama is, like, a complete fraud,
like, he should, like, this should not even be
a question. Itama should get him out. He is a
name, because I think Dillian White, you said
Dillian White was ranked what earlier? He fought
Tyson Fury as a mandatory. Like, he's still ranked
well in, like, fifth to tenth. But, like, this
guy has never looked good. He looked good in
his life once, and he lost. Uppercut. The uppercut.
And then it took, like, it took COVID to be able
to beat Povetkin. Man. So, what round range are
you giving to Tom of the Win? I'm going to say
in four. What are you saying? I'm saying four
to six, so not because of, like, anything on
White or Atama's part. I'm saying that White
is totally going to, like, do the usual, like,
I grab onto the ropes for dear life. I headbutt
you. Like. Grimy. Yeah, like the usual roughhouse
shit to make it that far. Four to six range.
Honestly, I think he's going to get him out within
two rounds. That too. That might happen too.
I'm being slightly more conservative. I think
it'll be quick. Real quick though. Imagine if
White manages to beat Atama. What happens then?
I think he's going to get in the ring and shoot
him. I piss myself laughing. I mean, because,
bro, the UK has no one. If that happens. It's
all up to Dave Allen to beat McAuliffe and get
in the fucking mix. The savior of the heavyweight
division, 24 -7 -2 Dave Allen. That's crazy.
Guy who lost to David Price, Dave Allen. I mean,
Isaac, what are you saying that you thought Dillian
White does have a chance to get out? I've never,
never, never said those words in my life. You
said it, bro. No, no. No, Isaac didn't say it.
Saul said it. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You
just said, wouldn't it be funny if he did it?
Well, I'm saying, wouldn't it be funny? Not like...
He's going to do it. Like, wouldn't it be funny
if fucking Jared Anderson came back and became
the heavyweight champion of the world and then
fought Deontay Wilder and became undisputed?
Therefore, Deontay Wilder is the best champion
we've ever had? I mean, come on. That would be
funny. It's not going to happen. Jesus. You know
what? Let's do weight predictions. Do we think
Dillian White shows up under or over 260 pounds?
I'm going under. Yeah, I think under, he actually
looks a little bit more fit. He does. According
to the videos. Is he wearing a black t -shirt
and he's got the lighting and everything? No,
I think he was shirtless in one of them. Nice.
Y 'all ever see that video of him when he was
at one of the Riaj season cards where his trainer
gives him way too much water? No. What? Oh, fuck.
I got a point. It's so funny. What, he starts
coughing? Yeah, he starts, like, spitting out
the water. Yeah, Dillian White versus water.
I'll send it. It's in the chat. This is what
I think of other than the Povetkin knockout.
Oh, he gets so upset. He's so upset. He's so
fucking mad. Guys, sorry, that's the only Dillian
White highlight in the past, like, five years.
Sorry. No, that happened in 2019. There are no
Dillian White highlights in the past five years.
I don't know. I think the Povetkin. Alright,
we're still a week off of that being five years
ago. The Fury. The Fury fight as well. The Southpaw
stance. The Southpaw coming out with a card.
Okay, we'll see you later. That fight was hilarious.
Bro, the Jermaine Franklin fight was hilarious.
He's, like, dying. Buddy McGirt's like, you need
to throw even more volume and even more body
shots. And Dillian's just, like, wheezing and
dying in his corner. Buddy McGirt must have been
fuming, bro. Buddy McGirt's like, bro, you need
to throw more punches. And, like, Dillian, notorious,
like, this guy does no cardio ever. He's like,
come on, bro. Derek James. James. Honestly, I
don't think there's any trainer who can fix him.
I got it. I know. Robert Garcia can get him right.
If anyone can. God, I guess. It's too late. It's
too late. Yeah, Robert Garcia gets him and he
becomes vintage Marcos Maidana at heavyweight.
You never know, guys. You never know. 92 punches
in a round. Only for, like, two rounds. Two?
Hey, you know what? What if Dylan White beat
Itama, then he got a shot at interim, became
the mandatory, and then fought Usyk, beat Usyk,
boom! Dylan White's the undisputed heavyweight
champion in the world. I think Derek Chisora
beats Dillian White right now, dude. If they
make that damn trilogy, it's literally just two
old men fighting over the last cup of pudding
at their retirement home, dude. Those aren't
the gum shields. Those are dentures being taken
out. Christ, man. What is the state of heavyweight?
We're talking about a hyped prospect, and we're
like, what if he loses to Dillian White? Never,
never. Yeah, like I said. Were people like this
when he fought Anthony Joshua? Guys, what if
he lost to Dillian White? AJ was still really
young at the time. That's true. Exactly. Like,
what if people were like this back then? I guess
white was still considered okay back then, actually.
That's a bad comparison. It's a little ridiculous
nowadays because, like, come on, bro. I've seen
teenagers on, like, Street Beefs who would be
dillying white right now. But, um... What's next
for Atama if he beats... Oh, sorry. When he beats
White. If. If. Sorry. Freudian slip. When. Who's
next? Is Atama... Is he Queensberry or Matchroom?
Queensberry. Queensberry. He's with Frank Warren.
Old fish eyes. Honestly, I think I want to give
Lawrence a Coley. I want to put a Coley out to
pasture. That would be lovely. If Atama completely
obliterates Dillian White in less than two rounds,
just give him a Coley, put a Coley out to pasture,
and then you have a pretty perfect rankings position.
Michael Hunter. That's assuming Michael Hunter
wants to get off his couch the box for someone
other than Don King. Yeah, I mean, he's got that
fight booked now, apparently. Don King announces.
I'm not really sure. Murat Gassiev? Murat Gassiev.
We were still talking about Gassiev in the big
2025. Oh, come on, bro. I was actually hyped
for Gassiev. And then he decided to be a fat
fuck and eat for five years. Okay. Okay. That
shit killed me. At Cruiserweight, like, okay.
Getting owned by Usyk is not like... No shame.
Like any kind of disqualifier for still being
good. If you actually watch the Super Series,
like, obliterating Lebedev and Dorticos, he looked
really good. Man. He looked so good. Like, the
Usyk fight? Whatever, bro. Usyk literally beats
everyone. And Gassi have actually hurt Usyk barely
for, like, three seconds, but that's still better
than most people. So, took Tyson Fury two fucking
tries to hurt him. But yeah, and then he just
got fat. He's done jack shit. Losing to Otto
Wallen, that fight was sad to watch. I was like,
any second now, he's just going to kill Wallen,
and he just never did. Yeah, he's expecting that
power to show back up. Because he still has it.
He shows up to all of his fights as a fat piece
of shit and just casually knocks them out and
leaves probably for another round at the buffet
before it closes. It's a little sad. It's more
than a little sad. I really like the ass he is.
Oh, well, that's... That is just me. Nah, it
wasn't just you. I was on the Gassi of Train
as well. Yeah. No, then it's just you too, then.
It's just us, then. Okay, it's just us. It's
just us, man. Me and Isaac are on that Zurdo.
On that Zurdo one. Right now, yeah. I'm trying
to think of... Let me see who was in that Super
Series. Boxing Super Series Cruiserweight. Let
me see. I want to see it. Zerda would actually
beat Marco Huck, I think. Prime Huck or Super
Series? The Marco Huck that showed up to the
Super Series. But I don't think he'd beat anyone
else. Are you just pro -Grey? Yeah, I'm talking
about... Because it was, like, you have Usyk,
Maris Bredis, Dortikos, Gassiev. And I can't
pronounce his name, but he just won the Bridgerweight
title at, like, age... Kudryashov or some shit?
Or, uh, Vlad Jarzyk. Yeah. Well, anything more
for Atalma, Billy, and White? Let's go with the
lead one! That would be too funny. We will be
paying for this. Totally. Of course. They will
be sucking the money out of my ass like always.
I'd rather buy this pay -per -view than a fucking
UFC pay -per -view. Sorry, Isaac. I don't think
Isaac disagrees, man. Yeah, I've been hyper with
someone for some time now. Fuck Isaacs. I feel
like Isaac has some self -respect here, man.
Well, I think Tom is going to have to be the
sacrificial goat. Or sacrificial lamb. For what?
So the British boxing scene can be dead. Oh,
yeah. We got to get rid of Nick Ball. Nick Ball's
got to go first, bro. No, he's got to go for
sure. Baby steps. All right, let me do this.

All right. So we're heading into Atalma Dillian
White Weekend. Parting words. Saul, kick us off
here. I'm kind of shitting and giggling. I have
nothing against British boxers. Whoever wins
will win. I'll be happy if Sam Goodman wins because
that would be kind of funny. But Nick Ball is
still a decent fighter. Mosai Tama, again, as
much as I bullshit around, I do want him to win.
I think that he's a great fighter and he's important
for the heavyweight division in the future. And
I'm glad we have these killers, these young killers.
These young, hungry... Young, hungry lions. Josh,
what do you got? Provock's good. Is that it?
Classic. A classic, yes. Yeah. Isaac, you want
to throw anything out? Yeah, I'm just looking
forward to, you know, this weekend of fights.
Nick Ball, Sam Goodman. We'll see what happens
after UK can hold on to that win streak or champion
streak. Ford versus Nova. I'm excited. And then,
yeah, finally, with Otama, like Saul was saying,
I think he's good for the division. I hope they
can get that win. All right. That's it for this
edition of the Boxing B -Sides. We'll see you
on the other side.
