WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.399 This shit ain't nothing to me, man. This is Boxing 00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:06.679 Before Dark. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Back. Back. 00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:11.279 Back. Back. Back. Before. Before. Before. Before. 00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:15.019 Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing Before Dark. This 00:00:15.019 --> 00:00:25.280 is Boxing Before Dark. All right. Let's fucking 00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:28.719 do the thing. Stretch routine is already done. 00:00:29.230 --> 00:00:33.429 Why am I doing it again? Alright, here we go. 00:00:34.270 --> 00:00:37.850 Boxing before dark. Back up in your ears, bitches. 00:00:38.590 --> 00:00:43.049 Disappear for a few days, but we're back. You 00:00:43.049 --> 00:00:45.729 can't get rid of us that easy. Yeah, it's going 00:00:45.729 --> 00:00:49.409 to take a little bit more than the case of the 00:00:49.409 --> 00:00:53.189 sniffles to get me out of this game. To be honest, 00:00:53.270 --> 00:00:55.310 last week there wasn't much to talk about anyways. 00:00:56.180 --> 00:00:59.340 yeah a lot of what would have been last week 00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:01.840 would have happened now or what is what we're 00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.900 going to talk about today anyway so one way or 00:01:04.900 --> 00:01:07.659 the other um let's fucking get into this there's 00:01:07.659 --> 00:01:10.120 a lot of shit happening at 154 that's actually 00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.159 the title of the b -sides episode that came out 00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:17.819 today as we're recording a lot of stuff virgil 00:01:17.819 --> 00:01:22.659 ortiz versus erickson lubin The way I put it 00:01:22.659 --> 00:01:25.120 is this isn't going to distance and it's not 00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:29.719 going to be in Lubin's favor. Harrison Lubin's 00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.079 not terrible, though. Like, Ortiz is going to 00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.579 have to be on his game. But I agree. I think 00:01:36.579 --> 00:01:40.640 Lubin's chances are pretty slim. But I also think 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:44.840 he's not going to come in to lose. Right? Of 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.379 course not. Like, Lubin's a pro box guy, right? 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.930 He started off... With PBC and then he moved 00:01:52.930 --> 00:01:57.750 to Probox to rehab his career. And I think it's 00:01:57.750 --> 00:02:03.849 been working. Yes. But yeah, Victor Ortiz is 00:02:03.849 --> 00:02:09.469 a high hurdle for anybody. Or Victor, Virgil. 00:02:10.370 --> 00:02:17.250 Goddamn. Okay. Who many Ortiz's? The day will 00:02:17.250 --> 00:02:19.990 get better. It's only 9am. I can't give up yet. 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:27.400 Erickson Lubin and Virgil Ortiz. Also, another 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.060 one. I think this is a diamond in the rough. 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.979 Jaron Ennis is fighting Luisma Lima. Lima. I 00:02:34.979 --> 00:02:39.139 have to remember who Lima is. He was most recently 00:02:39.139 --> 00:02:43.900 on a Canadian card and he fought an Indian prospect. 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:46.800 And he kind of spoiled the show. Oh, I recognize 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:53.780 this guy. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. Yeah, that could 00:02:53.780 --> 00:02:58.259 be a low -key banger, actually. I think Lima's 00:02:58.259 --> 00:03:04.379 going to give a better fight than Karen or Stanionis 00:03:04.379 --> 00:03:10.020 was distracted. Kind of his fault. Kind of not. 00:03:10.099 --> 00:03:15.500 He had bigger things to worry about. Yeah. Understandable 00:03:15.500 --> 00:03:17.800 that he didn't necessarily have the best performance, 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:23.219 but... still yeah i like i do think boots is 00:03:23.219 --> 00:03:31.219 better but this will be a real test and fundora 00:03:31.219 --> 00:03:38.280 verse thurman i why why is keith thurman still 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:43.539 around yeah why is he still around yeah i don't 00:03:43.539 --> 00:03:45.500 know i've seen a lot of people excited about 00:03:45.500 --> 00:03:49.150 this one and i i don't get the hype I don't either. 00:03:49.270 --> 00:03:55.770 Thurman's old. He's been not active. He's probably 00:03:55.770 --> 00:03:57.990 going to get hurt before the fight anyways, and 00:03:57.990 --> 00:04:01.490 he'll be a late replacement. Even if he doesn't, 00:04:01.509 --> 00:04:05.629 like, Fundora with a jab, I don't... Keith's 00:04:05.629 --> 00:04:09.590 too old. Like, at his prime, Keith probably picks... 00:04:09.590 --> 00:04:14.969 Not probably. Keith tears Fundora apart. But, 00:04:14.990 --> 00:04:19.689 man, like... What is Thurman? He's like 40? No, 00:04:19.730 --> 00:04:23.829 he's in his mid -30s. Is he? Yeah. Why do I think 00:04:23.829 --> 00:04:28.529 he's old old? It's because he gets hurt all the 00:04:28.529 --> 00:04:31.709 time. That's why I think he's older. Yeah, he's 00:04:31.709 --> 00:04:37.110 only 36. That's still pretty old. I don't know. 00:04:37.149 --> 00:04:40.509 I'm not excited for this one. I know people are, 00:04:40.649 --> 00:04:43.670 but... I'm excited for what the card will present. 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.980 Maybe not this as the main event, maybe not my 00:04:47.980 --> 00:04:50.660 favorite, but there's going to be other stuff. 00:04:50.939 --> 00:04:52.839 They're going to stack the card and that should 00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:57.459 be fun. Oh yeah. Like, and it's not a terrible 00:04:57.459 --> 00:04:59.699 fight. I just mean, this isn't one where I'm 00:04:59.699 --> 00:05:01.939 like, Oh, circle the day on the calendar and 00:05:01.939 --> 00:05:04.879 make sure I don't have to work late. Like, you 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.019 know, it's not, it's not that kind of fight for 00:05:07.019 --> 00:05:11.019 me. Yeah. Yeah. It wouldn't be that kind of, 00:05:11.019 --> 00:05:14.139 it's not that kind for me either. It should be. 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:18.339 a solid fight. I just think Fundora's figured 00:05:18.339 --> 00:05:20.839 out how to jab. I don't know if anyone's going 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:26.220 to be able to deal with that. And he mentions 00:05:26.220 --> 00:05:32.040 it a lot. I think he's been hearing the word 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:36.019 on the street that this guy fights like a fucking 00:05:36.019 --> 00:05:40.180 mongoloid when he shouldn't have to. He gets 00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:42.220 hurt when he doesn't have to because he fights 00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:47.959 like a moron. Harvard Fundora is a brand new 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:54.699 beast. Oh, man. What's their mascot? Fucking 00:05:54.699 --> 00:06:00.759 douchebags. I don't know. Anytime people bring 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:02.980 up Harvard, all I can think about is Good Will 00:06:02.980 --> 00:06:06.860 Hunting. Have it. Make fun of the Smet kids. 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:15.500 How you like them apples? They are the Crimson. 00:06:18.379 --> 00:06:21.639 That's it? That's it. That's not a fucking mascot. 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.420 That's a color. Oh, no. Their mascot is John 00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:28.600 Harvard. Who the fuck is that? He's the founder. 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.839 Well, I guess the founder. That's lame as shit. 00:06:32.459 --> 00:06:35.220 That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Yeah, 00:06:35.300 --> 00:06:38.620 their mascot is the founder and their nickname 00:06:38.620 --> 00:06:42.220 is the Crimson. So the Harvard Crimson is like 00:06:42.220 --> 00:06:45.279 their sports teams or whatever. I thought Crimson 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:51.759 was Alabama. Crimson Tide. Okay, well. Same shit, 00:06:51.860 --> 00:06:56.439 but... How do you have two universities with 00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:00.959 the same shit concept as a mascot? That's terrible. 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:06.620 Crimson Pandora. Crimson Pandora. Actually, that's 00:07:06.620 --> 00:07:11.060 kind of hard. After the Tim Zoo fight, that goes 00:07:11.060 --> 00:07:13.629 really well, actually. Oh, shit. I didn't even 00:07:13.629 --> 00:07:17.990 think about that. Yeah, it does. I might have 00:07:17.990 --> 00:07:22.269 to take it back. The Crimson... What is it? The 00:07:22.269 --> 00:07:25.910 Towering Inferno? The Crimson Tower? The Crimson 00:07:25.910 --> 00:07:31.350 Tower is pretty fucking sick. Pretty good. Alright. 00:07:32.050 --> 00:07:34.449 Sebastian, I know you're listening. So, there 00:07:34.449 --> 00:07:38.149 you go. New nickname just dropped. Yeah, the 00:07:38.149 --> 00:07:43.220 Crimson Tower. I know it's not on the list, but 00:07:43.220 --> 00:07:47.040 did you see Inoue's new merchandise for this 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.600 fight? It's fucking awful. Why does Inoue have 00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:54.000 such shit merchandise? Because he doesn't want 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:59.040 anyone to buy it. I just want something that's 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.240 not embarrassing to wear. It doesn't even have 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.500 to be good. It just needs to be not embarrassing. 00:08:04.019 --> 00:08:07.240 They're all pictures of him that are, like, super 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:12.019 weird. like dramatic black and white bullshit 00:08:12.019 --> 00:08:16.339 or like full color just like him on your chest 00:08:16.339 --> 00:08:20.139 or now he's got a boxing glove with like little 00:08:20.139 --> 00:08:22.939 hermes wings like you know how hermes had the 00:08:22.939 --> 00:08:26.060 wings on his shoes yeah it's a boxing glove with 00:08:26.060 --> 00:08:29.300 that kind of wings on the wrist and i'm like 00:08:29.300 --> 00:08:31.779 what the fuck are you doing your nickname is 00:08:31.779 --> 00:08:34.940 the monster you live in japan get somebody to 00:08:34.940 --> 00:08:39.200 draw you a kaiju Yeah, seriously, lean into the... 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:42.820 You have the... You have the technology. It's 00:08:42.820 --> 00:08:45.559 there. Everything is there for you to do it. 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.779 Like, a picture silhouette thing of him and behind 00:08:50.779 --> 00:08:54.159 him is, like, one of those anime -style, like, 00:08:54.179 --> 00:09:01.559 a JoJo stand. Or, like, you know how Beyblades 00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:04.019 had the little spirits that came out of the Beyblades? 00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:06.240 Like, there's so much cool shit you could do. 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:10.700 But no. We got boxing gloves with Hermes wings. 00:09:10.980 --> 00:09:15.240 What the fuck? That's in fashion right now. Well, 00:09:15.259 --> 00:09:17.240 and anytime he does have something that's half 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:20.259 decent, it sells out within an hour. Like, literally, 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.000 I got an email at work that he had new merchandise. 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.379 This was a couple fights ago. It was like 8 -bit 00:09:27.379 --> 00:09:32.820 kind of video game character style. And I didn't 00:09:32.820 --> 00:09:35.740 check my emails until lunch at work and it was 00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:40.899 already sold out. Jesus. Because it didn't look 00:09:40.899 --> 00:09:45.899 like shit. Anyway, that's the end of my rant. 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.500 But boxers need to work on their fucking merchandise. 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.120 I could not think of a good transition here. 00:09:54.659 --> 00:09:57.600 Jermel Charlo is thinking of coming back. This 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:02.480 is the bad Charlo. I did see the Twitter post 00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:05.779 that has everyone talking. Where he has the, 00:10:05.820 --> 00:10:08.940 it's a lion with a shark in his mouth. Yeah. 00:10:09.259 --> 00:10:13.080 That's Spence, right? The big fish. Yeah. I don't 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.279 want to see two washed up guys fight each other. 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.159 I'm sorry. They might be the right level of washed 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:25.179 that it actually turns out to be good. Maybe, 00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:30.840 but I don't know. Maybe I'm just in a bad mood. 00:10:30.940 --> 00:10:34.840 None of these points are exciting to me. Well, 00:10:35.019 --> 00:10:39.039 even still, I think it'll be a pay -per -view, 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:45.779 unfortunately, for everyone. But I hope that 00:10:45.779 --> 00:10:49.639 they'll make the card good, at least. If you're 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.980 going to put two wash guys at the top. This with 00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:58.460 a good undercard would be fine. And Texas? Where 00:10:58.460 --> 00:11:00.419 do you think they'll have it? It has to be in 00:11:00.419 --> 00:11:06.139 Texas. Yeah. I can see it being okay. I can see 00:11:06.139 --> 00:11:09.460 this being a very good, if anybody still had 00:11:09.460 --> 00:11:12.100 like TV deals, I can see this being a very good 00:11:12.100 --> 00:11:14.340 free fight. But like you said, they're going 00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:16.860 to make us pay money to watch two washed up guys 00:11:16.860 --> 00:11:21.259 that has realistically no consequences on the 00:11:21.259 --> 00:11:30.090 fucking division at all. Yeah. Well, speaking 00:11:30.090 --> 00:11:33.049 of not having any consequences on any division 00:11:33.049 --> 00:11:39.110 at all, Jake Paul versus Javante Davis. This 00:11:39.110 --> 00:11:46.789 is so stupid. Yeah. Tank has really just decided 00:11:46.789 --> 00:11:51.129 he's done boxing. This is just him cashing out. 00:11:51.470 --> 00:11:56.580 I can't see him doing any real fights. Maybe 00:11:56.580 --> 00:11:58.899 he'll do more real fights, but he's not going 00:11:58.899 --> 00:12:02.399 to try, if you know what I mean. Yeah. Like, 00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.299 I don't know. They're not going to be like quality 00:12:05.299 --> 00:12:08.980 opponents, high quality opponents. Yeah, he's 00:12:08.980 --> 00:12:12.000 just cashing out his name at this point is what 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:15.240 it feels like to me. Tank's going to be one of 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:19.919 those what if guys. Like, maybe like Adrian Broner. 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:23.960 Like, what if he actually fought somebody? What 00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:28.139 if he stayed disciplined? And kept himself in 00:12:28.139 --> 00:12:30.960 the gym and out of trouble. Who has Tank actually 00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:38.600 fought? Like, Ryan Garcia? Jose Pedraza? Yeah, 00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:41.639 but if he's as good as everybody thinks he is, 00:12:41.700 --> 00:12:44.059 he should have better names than that. Yeah. 00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:53.019 Like, I don't know. Well, the Romero win is aging 00:12:53.019 --> 00:12:58.799 pretty well. That's true. Two -division world 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:04.720 champ Rolly Romero is a good win. Yeah, but the 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:09.179 Rolly win over Garcia makes the Garcia win age 00:13:09.179 --> 00:13:13.179 poorly. The Garcia win was always going to age 00:13:13.179 --> 00:13:18.960 poorly. That fucking sucks. Yeah, I don't know. 00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:22.100 Tank's going to be one of those. And this fucking 00:13:22.100 --> 00:13:26.000 circus fight is so stupid. I actually... Kind 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:29.659 of hope Jake Paul lands something huge. This 00:13:29.659 --> 00:13:32.179 is the one time I want to see Jake Paul knock 00:13:32.179 --> 00:13:35.340 a fucker out. I think it would be hilarious. 00:13:37.740 --> 00:13:39.840 It's not going to happen, but I think it would 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:42.759 be hilarious. Yeah, it would be really funny. 00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:48.539 Weight classes exist for a reason. Yeah, what 00:13:48.539 --> 00:13:52.399 are they going to fight at when Tank weighs in 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:56.080 at whatever he wants? Well, I mean, they'll just 00:13:56.080 --> 00:14:00.440 fight at Cruiser, won't they? I guess. There's 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:05.159 no minimum for fighting at Wade's. I also don't 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:08.679 understand, like, what this is actually going 00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:11.940 to be. Because they've said it's going to be 00:14:11.940 --> 00:14:14.639 an official pro boxing match that goes on the 00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:20.200 records. But it's also an exhibition? Yeah, you 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:25.039 don't get to have both. No, but, like... I know 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:29.240 it's not... How do I put it? It's a long ways 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:32.419 away still, but the talks about what this fight 00:14:32.419 --> 00:14:37.480 actually is have been very confusing. Like, is 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:39.860 it actually a pro fight? Is it an exhibition? 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:45.019 Is it, like, what are we doing, guys? I mean, 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:47.899 I'm going to watch it, but... Yeah, I'll be there 00:14:47.899 --> 00:14:51.460 for it. It does sound like they're trying to, 00:14:51.500 --> 00:14:55.200 like, make a real undercard for this. As that's 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.559 typical of Jake Paul events, though. Yeah. No, 00:14:58.659 --> 00:15:02.080 I'm just saying, like, that's the best part of 00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:05.759 Jake Paul events lately is the undercard is real. 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:09.259 And then you can stick around to watch the circus 00:15:09.259 --> 00:15:15.720 fight at the end. Hmm. Well, speaking of circus 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:21.759 fights, the Canelo Crawford broadcast team. Have 00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:25.659 you seen the lineup? I see you have it here. 00:15:25.820 --> 00:15:30.059 I don't know who John Anik is, but... He's the 00:15:30.059 --> 00:15:38.059 UFC version of Jim Lampley. Okay. And Max Kellerman 00:15:38.059 --> 00:15:41.559 and Andre Ward. I don't like Max Kellerman. I 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:44.799 really don't. I don't know if that's a common 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:49.080 opinion or not, but I hate his voice. I don't 00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:52.669 care for Andre Ward as a commentator. Fantastic 00:15:52.669 --> 00:15:56.809 boxer, but I don't like his commentary style. 00:15:59.049 --> 00:16:03.049 Yeah, he's not my favorite either. Just get Gabe 00:16:03.049 --> 00:16:07.330 Rosado. I fucking love Gabe. And they'll never 00:16:07.330 --> 00:16:09.710 let him do one of these because he's too honest. 00:16:10.210 --> 00:16:16.990 Like the circus fights. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I don't 00:16:16.990 --> 00:16:21.029 know. He would call things bullshit. He would 00:16:21.029 --> 00:16:24.070 get himself in trouble. I don't know. I don't 00:16:24.070 --> 00:16:28.250 think I'm excited for this broadcast team. John 00:16:28.250 --> 00:16:33.330 Anik from UFC, because this is a TKO promotions 00:16:33.330 --> 00:16:38.169 fucking thing. Max Kellerman and Andre Ward. 00:16:39.590 --> 00:16:43.450 And the MCs, it's going to be split duties between 00:16:43.450 --> 00:16:46.929 Michael Buffer in the main event, and then Joe 00:16:46.929 --> 00:16:49.659 Martinez doing the rest of it. Happy to see Joe 00:16:49.659 --> 00:16:52.259 Martinez getting some recognition. I like him. 00:16:53.539 --> 00:16:59.720 I'm not sure I know who he is. Yeah, you would 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.480 recognize him if you saw him. Yeah, I just need 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:09.400 to... Oh, okay, he's the bald guy. Yeah, he's 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:13.279 not bad. I don't mind him. He does the UFC fights 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:21.150 too, right? Yeah, he does whatever. That's fine. 00:17:21.289 --> 00:17:24.210 I don't know. Just Max Kellerman and Andre Ward. 00:17:24.529 --> 00:17:28.230 I'm not excited to listen to them. I'm not excited 00:17:28.230 --> 00:17:33.130 to hear fucking John Anik either. Yeah, I don't 00:17:33.130 --> 00:17:37.069 think I know who that is. I will be surprised 00:17:37.069 --> 00:17:40.589 and also probably not like him. Disappointed 00:17:40.589 --> 00:17:45.430 as well. Maybe I'll watch this one at the bar 00:17:45.430 --> 00:17:51.680 in Tokyo and get Japanese commentators. Would 00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:54.660 probably be better. Sometimes they have Japanese, 00:17:54.900 --> 00:17:57.240 sometimes they just put it on in English for 00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:03.960 these cards. Oh, speaking of which, I gotta book 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.640 my seat for the Inouye fight. I've been checking 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.700 the resale place for tickets, and the only thing 00:18:10.700 --> 00:18:12.660 that's come up is tickets to the weigh -in the 00:18:12.660 --> 00:18:18.599 day before. The weigh -in is selling tickets? 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:22.819 Yeah, the weigh -in for Inouye Fights always 00:18:22.819 --> 00:18:25.880 sells tickets. They're not cheap either. The 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:32.839 weigh -in tickets are like 5 ,500 yen, so like 00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:36.299 $55 Canadian -ish. I don't know what that is 00:18:36.299 --> 00:18:40.299 American, like 45 bucks? Yeah, something like 00:18:40.299 --> 00:18:47.640 that. Yeah. It's not that expensive, but it's 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:49.960 not cheap. Especially when the cheapest tickets 00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:58.000 are only like a hundred bucks. It's probably 00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:59.920 best I didn't get a ticket for that one anyways. 00:18:59.980 --> 00:19:03.759 It's way out in Nagoya and I'd have to get the 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:08.230 like 5 a .m. fast train straight to work. I've 00:19:08.230 --> 00:19:11.349 done it before when it was in Osaka, but I'm 00:19:11.349 --> 00:19:13.910 trying to silver lining not winning the lottery 00:19:13.910 --> 00:19:15.970 ticket. Oh, that's right. It's a lottery system. 00:19:16.230 --> 00:19:19.230 Forgot about that. I didn't choose to not buy 00:19:19.230 --> 00:19:26.990 a ticket. Oh, yeah. Taking the 5 a .m. bullet, 00:19:27.250 --> 00:19:32.230 that doesn't sound very pleasant. I'm going to 00:19:32.230 --> 00:19:34.950 try to help ease your sufferings a little bit. 00:19:35.589 --> 00:19:37.670 Yeah, yeah. It actually would be unpleasant. 00:19:37.829 --> 00:19:40.349 I don't like waking up at 4 a .m. to go get a 00:19:40.349 --> 00:19:47.269 train. Yeah, I wouldn't like that either. That's 00:19:47.269 --> 00:19:53.670 it for the news that I got. Yeah, I don't think 00:19:53.670 --> 00:19:58.210 anything big's come up. All right. Let's see 00:19:58.210 --> 00:20:02.009 here.

But if you want to drop a line 00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:52.059 on the fights, maybe you want to talk about how 00:20:52.059 --> 00:20:53.619 Virgil Ortiz is going to beat the shit out of 00:20:53.619 --> 00:20:57.759 Erickson Lubin, and that he has to pay his penance 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:01.720 for robbing Jesus Ramos. You want to tell me 00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:05.259 about how you agree with me on that? 833 Lux 00:21:05.259 --> 00:21:11.660 Pods. Let's see. Ads have changed.

Use code 00:24:22.660 --> 00:24:36.460 LEO33862. Buzz, motherfucker. Party. Nice. I 00:24:36.460 --> 00:24:39.019 actually, I have one recap to throw in before 00:24:39.019 --> 00:24:43.460 your first one. Oh, go ahead. I went to the Aoi 00:24:43.460 --> 00:24:49.400 Yokoyama fight on August 19th at Korakuen. That 00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:52.660 turned into a shit show too. Everything went 00:24:52.660 --> 00:24:55.039 wrong at work and I missed the first two fights 00:24:55.039 --> 00:25:00.460 entirely. But Korakuen's always fun. I had great 00:25:00.460 --> 00:25:03.299 seats. I was in the fucking splash zone somehow 00:25:03.299 --> 00:25:08.099 by accident. I was in the front row of the not 00:25:08.099 --> 00:25:10.440 -folding chairs, but there's only three rows 00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:13.420 of folding chairs there because the space is 00:25:13.420 --> 00:25:18.119 so small. I only want to talk about two fights. 00:25:18.460 --> 00:25:22.380 So the co -main was Shirai Oka versus Fai Farab. 00:25:23.059 --> 00:25:27.480 That's not important. But Oka walked out to... 00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:32.700 Mr. Lonely, you know the song? Yeah. Lonely, 00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:37.619 I'm so lonely. Yeah, I'm Mr. Lonely. Yeah, and 00:25:37.619 --> 00:25:41.160 my Japanese is still pretty shit, but I'm pretty 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:44.799 sure that they tacked on to his announcement 00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:50.460 that he was single, and that was his way of putting 00:25:50.460 --> 00:25:54.759 himself out there. It was his Tinder profile. 00:25:56.529 --> 00:25:59.390 Anybody want to date a boxer? Anybody? Yeah, 00:25:59.410 --> 00:26:03.349 basically. I laughed my ass off. I thought it 00:26:03.349 --> 00:26:06.549 was great. And he won, so that's good. He got 00:26:06.549 --> 00:26:12.049 a KO. The main event, so Aoi Yokoyama versus 00:26:12.049 --> 00:26:18.109 Russe Baba, was for the... Yokoyama was defending 00:26:18.109 --> 00:26:21.589 his Oriental Pacific belt, and this is the first 00:26:21.589 --> 00:26:23.970 time it was a 10 -round fight instead of 12. 00:26:24.029 --> 00:26:26.700 Oh, that's right. They changed that. Yeah, which 00:26:26.700 --> 00:26:34.680 is the JBC reaction to what happened. It actually, 00:26:34.819 --> 00:26:37.000 it's probably a good thing it was only 10 rounds. 00:26:37.059 --> 00:26:39.240 It turned into a bit of a war. It was a pretty 00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:42.799 good fight. Yokoyama did win, but I was nervous. 00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:46.680 He got a unanimous decision though. Was it close? 00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:50.380 I was nervous. I thought it was pretty close. 00:26:50.539 --> 00:26:54.920 And the cards were across the board 96 -94. So 00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:59.460 yeah, it was pretty close. It was a good fight. 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:04.619 I'm still excited about AOA, but maybe he doesn't 00:27:04.619 --> 00:27:08.759 quite have as much power as I was hoping. Maybe. 00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:13.690 But we'll have to see. I do think he needs to 00:27:13.690 --> 00:27:15.490 go up a weight class, though. He looked like 00:27:15.490 --> 00:27:17.789 a fucking skeleton at the weigh -ins. It was 00:27:17.789 --> 00:27:20.990 not good. You were at... Oh, you like pictures 00:27:20.990 --> 00:27:24.009 of the weigh -ins? Yeah, yeah. I follow him on 00:27:24.009 --> 00:27:27.990 Instagram. He still looked a little skinny on 00:27:27.990 --> 00:27:29.970 fight night. Like, I think he needs to go up 00:27:29.970 --> 00:27:36.190 now. But I bought a t -shirt, so I'm excited. 00:27:36.430 --> 00:27:39.329 It's actually... So most of the t -shirts are 00:27:39.329 --> 00:27:42.289 kind of crap. to be honest. But his is a nice 00:27:42.289 --> 00:27:47.009 fabric. It's light. It makes a nice summer t 00:27:47.009 --> 00:27:52.210 -shirt. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Alright. Moving 00:27:52.210 --> 00:27:56.109 through our recaps. It's pretty, pretty light. 00:27:57.089 --> 00:28:01.890 I was hoping Jacob would come back for this one, 00:28:01.970 --> 00:28:03.730 because I wanted to talk about this Australian 00:28:03.730 --> 00:28:10.599 card. No Limit at the ICC. Exhibition Center. 00:28:12.299 --> 00:28:18.720 Some fights on the undercard. Jasmine Parr stops 00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:25.480 Efasha Kamarudin at the last second. Brock Jarvis, 00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:28.900 who was previously bopped by Keith Thurman. He's 00:28:28.900 --> 00:28:31.740 back. Gets himself a nice little stoppage over 00:28:31.740 --> 00:28:35.420 Sam Beck in four rounds of a scheduled eight. 00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:41.859 Michael Zarafa. The Chippendale man himself still 00:28:41.859 --> 00:28:45.460 doing it. Gets a stoppage in one over Mikey Dahlman. 00:28:45.779 --> 00:28:53.380 And in the headline, Nikita Zu stops Lulzim Ismaili 00:28:53.380 --> 00:29:03.500 with ease. What's RTD? Retired. Oh, ref stoppage. 00:29:03.940 --> 00:29:10.730 Stop in the corner. Ah, right. Okay. I have to 00:29:10.730 --> 00:29:13.289 admit, I did not watch this one. Yeah, you didn't 00:29:13.289 --> 00:29:17.009 miss a whole lot. I couldn't find it. It's on 00:29:17.009 --> 00:29:18.930 YouTube. It's hard. I found a lot of it on YouTube. 00:29:19.569 --> 00:29:22.670 Oh, I bet you Japan was just getting blocked. 00:29:22.869 --> 00:29:25.549 Yeah, geo -blocked. I always forget to turn on 00:29:25.549 --> 00:29:28.309 my VPN on YouTube because it's YouTube. Yeah. 00:29:28.849 --> 00:29:34.210 But that makes sense. Damn. Was it a good? Well. 00:29:34.670 --> 00:29:36.390 I didn't watch the card. One round. I watched 00:29:36.390 --> 00:29:39.930 the fights, but it was a good showing for... 00:29:39.930 --> 00:29:44.569 It was a good showing for Nikita. Looked as good 00:29:44.569 --> 00:29:47.849 as you can in three minutes. Hopefully they don't 00:29:47.849 --> 00:29:49.750 fuck him over like they fucked over his brother. 00:29:50.730 --> 00:29:55.089 Yeah, especially with that dark story of No Limit 00:29:55.089 --> 00:29:59.809 that we got. What's that? The way that they kind 00:29:59.809 --> 00:30:04.450 of push fighters to do... Like, they push them 00:30:04.450 --> 00:30:07.910 too hard just because they want to sell seats. 00:30:10.250 --> 00:30:14.269 Yeah. Oh, speaking of Zoo, he's in Japan right 00:30:14.269 --> 00:30:17.849 now, hey? What's he doing? Training. I don't 00:30:17.849 --> 00:30:21.150 know. He's just here for... All right. Yeah. 00:30:21.250 --> 00:30:24.609 Cool. I just thought it was interesting. That 00:30:24.609 --> 00:30:26.710 is interesting. I'm curious what he's doing there. 00:30:29.250 --> 00:30:34.440 Moving on. Friday, August 22nd. MVP, most valuable 00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:39.400 prospect series. Their main one, John Paul Rivera, 00:30:39.680 --> 00:30:42.799 gets a stoppage in six over Daniel Bailey. And 00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:45.759 the co -main, Yoelvis Gomez, majority decision 00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:51.000 over Edwin Humane Jr. Yoelvis is still the most 00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:56.559 ridiculous name. Yeah. I thought I was really 00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:01.200 clever when I put Yo, comma, Elvis. Is that how 00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:05.980 you... Is that what that means, Yoelvis? Well, 00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:07.900 and I don't know why I find it funny that they 00:31:07.900 --> 00:31:15.359 spell it with an actual Y instead of a J. Moving 00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:20.039 to Saturday, August 23rd, Queensberry at the 00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:25.799 Planet Ice Altringham. Starting from the bottom 00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:28.720 of just a few that I kind of took note on, Jack 00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:34.390 Turner stops Nicholas. Muguruza. I think I got 00:31:34.390 --> 00:31:37.910 that one right this time. There's a stoppage 00:31:37.910 --> 00:31:42.089 in six. Zach Miller gets the decision over Leon 00:31:42.089 --> 00:31:45.630 Woodstock. Leon, you have to change your name. 00:31:46.890 --> 00:31:49.210 You're no longer allowed to be named that. You 00:31:49.210 --> 00:31:52.509 can keep the N, but you gotta drop the rest of 00:31:52.509 --> 00:32:00.019 it. Sorry, buddy. Woodstock? Yep. It's not, I'm 00:32:00.019 --> 00:32:02.640 sorry, I don't make the rules. No, I'm sorry, 00:32:02.740 --> 00:32:05.420 I do make the rules, but I'm not sorry. And we 00:32:05.420 --> 00:32:08.259 will be enforcing them. And they will be enforced 00:32:08.259 --> 00:32:12.559 with severe sanctions. Jack Rafferty, majority 00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:17.259 draw over Mark Chamberlain. That was kind of 00:32:17.259 --> 00:32:24.099 anticlimactic, but whatever. This was kind of 00:32:24.099 --> 00:32:26.609 an ugly fight, wasn't it? Or am I thinking of 00:32:26.609 --> 00:32:28.769 the wrong one? No, I think you got it right. 00:32:28.829 --> 00:32:32.390 It's like scrappy. Yeah, like a little dirty. 00:32:32.509 --> 00:32:36.450 A lot of the ref having to break them up. Yeah. 00:32:38.170 --> 00:32:41.170 I don't know. I don't particularly like Jack 00:32:41.170 --> 00:32:45.369 Rafferty. I was pulling for Mark Chamberlain. 00:32:46.490 --> 00:32:57.640 He was a... Turkey McDuck... fucking guy um i'm 00:32:57.640 --> 00:32:59.400 i was trying to think of something funny to call 00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:01.759 him and i couldn't um i couldn't think of anything 00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:05.099 but uh turkey a little shake likes mark chamberlain 00:33:05.099 --> 00:33:09.619 for some reason and now for that reason like 00:33:09.619 --> 00:33:13.279 i was like oh well that's quite a bit of like 00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:15.319 that's a heavy thumb of pressure that they're 00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:20.640 putting on you when you're that young yeah so 00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:23.220 i kind of hoped he would amount to something 00:33:23.220 --> 00:33:27.319 but I guess all you're worth is a majority draw. 00:33:28.500 --> 00:33:35.019 They didn't pay enough. Most valuable promotions 00:33:35.019 --> 00:33:39.579 once again on the 23rd. This was a most valuable 00:33:39.579 --> 00:33:45.740 fight night. Yanquiel Rivera. Majority draw over 00:33:45.740 --> 00:33:52.359 Angelina Cordova. Good stuff. Way to go. Your 00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:56.700 name is Yanquiel. There's a lot of Y names on 00:33:56.700 --> 00:34:02.339 these two cards. It's really strange. Yeah. And 00:34:02.339 --> 00:34:07.859 in the main event, Yoannis Taez drops the ball, 00:34:08.099 --> 00:34:14.860 loses his interim title to Abbas Barou. I was 00:34:14.860 --> 00:34:18.320 so happy this was an upset. I don't know why. 00:34:18.380 --> 00:34:22.559 I don't particularly hate Tellez, but, I mean. 00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:27.460 yeah i don't have anything he lost to a guy from 00:34:27.460 --> 00:34:31.280 germany who does that a random ass like yeah 00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:35.400 this random ass german and you're what you're 00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:41.980 going life and death with him yeah it was a portents 00:34:41.980 --> 00:34:46.360 of bad tidings just from just from the onset 00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:49.340 like it didn't look like teas was getting comfortable 00:34:49.340 --> 00:34:53.780 at all or finding any rhythm And they were pretty 00:34:53.780 --> 00:35:00.280 wide cards. It was not close. And I just love 00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:09.960 a good upset. It was fun. Oh, speaking of fun. 00:35:11.500 --> 00:35:15.420 Coming up. When is this? This is probably going 00:35:15.420 --> 00:35:17.980 to drop on... By the time you're hearing this, 00:35:18.059 --> 00:35:22.599 it should be the 1st of September. So on Thursday, 00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:26.940 September 4th, Eye of the Tiger. There's a bunch 00:35:26.940 --> 00:35:30.659 of shit on this card that I don't know. I don't 00:35:30.659 --> 00:35:33.000 know who they are. I couldn't tell you. Sorry. 00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:36.800 But I can tell you in the main event. Auslis 00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:43.340 Iglesias versus Vladimir Shishkin for the IBO 00:35:43.340 --> 00:35:47.280 super middleweight title. Who is the Iglesias 00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:50.159 stan in the Discord? There are a few of them. 00:35:50.460 --> 00:35:57.320 Yeah. A lot of Iglesias stands in there. Yeah, 00:35:57.500 --> 00:36:02.900 he's okay. But what I was saying on B -Sides 00:36:02.900 --> 00:36:06.260 when I was talking to Saul, I don't know. I don't 00:36:06.260 --> 00:36:12.000 see the hype. I'm still waiting to be impressed. 00:36:13.099 --> 00:36:16.340 He's one of these new, exciting Cubans. I will 00:36:16.340 --> 00:36:18.760 say that. Yeah, that's true. That might be what 00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:22.860 it is. That is exciting. Like, Cubans who actually 00:36:22.860 --> 00:36:28.199 push for the knockout are exciting. They've got 00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:32.300 the fundamentals and the slickness, but they're 00:36:32.300 --> 00:36:35.760 not just rigandowing around the room. Yeah. Oh, 00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:40.659 that's a fucking good verb. Rigandowing. You 00:36:40.659 --> 00:36:43.019 know exactly what I mean. I know exactly what 00:36:43.019 --> 00:36:45.280 you meant. I know exactly what you meant. That's 00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:47.340 what I'm saying. It's good. It's a good one. 00:36:48.170 --> 00:36:51.570 I can kind of see the hype. I can see them wanting 00:36:51.570 --> 00:36:54.829 him to be really, really good. And he could be, 00:36:54.989 --> 00:37:01.369 but I'm not convinced yet. Yeah. But I will probably 00:37:01.369 --> 00:37:05.070 cheer for the Russian, just because. Just because? 00:37:05.130 --> 00:37:09.429 Just to be a contrarian? Because I like to cheer 00:37:09.429 --> 00:37:16.329 against those guys in Discord. Moving to Friday, 00:37:16.489 --> 00:37:19.750 September 5th. Wasserman. This is going to be 00:37:19.750 --> 00:37:25.010 on 3 to air in the UK. Well, free. You have to 00:37:25.010 --> 00:37:28.610 pay a fucking license to have rabbit ears in 00:37:28.610 --> 00:37:36.889 the UK. So this is on BBC? UK 5. Oh. I don't 00:37:36.889 --> 00:37:41.030 know. This is at the 3 Arena in Dublin. Again, 00:37:41.190 --> 00:37:44.510 a bunch of shit. Maybe some of you, if you're 00:37:44.510 --> 00:37:46.750 from the Isles, you know who these people are. 00:37:47.389 --> 00:37:52.190 I know Mickey Conlin. I think I know a couple 00:37:52.190 --> 00:37:55.650 of them. Just let me look at faces. Yeah. I've 00:37:55.650 --> 00:38:03.869 seen Kieran Malloy, but he's fine. And I've seen... 00:38:03.869 --> 00:38:11.329 No, this is not the guy I thought. Never mind. 00:38:12.809 --> 00:38:15.409 Never mind. These are not the people I thought 00:38:15.409 --> 00:38:18.639 they were. Charlie Edwards looks like a child, 00:38:18.699 --> 00:38:23.099 though, on BoxRec. It says he's 32, but this 00:38:23.099 --> 00:38:28.820 picture looks like he's 12. Holy shit. Doesn't 00:38:28.820 --> 00:38:32.460 it? He looks like... If you were to go to a barber 00:38:32.460 --> 00:38:36.440 shop, like a men's barber shop, he would be one 00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:39.820 of the pictures that they have up, like a style 00:38:39.820 --> 00:38:44.840 of hair. Yeah, I can see it. Like a white boy 00:38:44.840 --> 00:38:48.239 flat top with a side fade. Yeah. That's exactly 00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:51.059 what we got going on here. But he also looks 00:38:51.059 --> 00:38:54.480 12. Yes. Maybe it's just a really old picture. 00:38:54.659 --> 00:39:00.579 Could be. Or he could be blessed. Some of those 00:39:00.579 --> 00:39:03.519 Irish dudes do just look... Or I guess he's not 00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:06.159 Irish, but... Some of those guys do just look 00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:09.059 like children their entire lives. That's too 00:39:09.059 --> 00:39:14.679 bad. It's unfortunate. Anyways, enough talking 00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:17.300 shit about how people look. Mickey Conlin is 00:39:17.300 --> 00:39:21.960 back. Mickey Conlin is headlining. I have mixed 00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:26.480 feelings about this. I mean, he's probably not 00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:31.920 going to be good, but I want him to be. Yeah, 00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:37.260 Mickey Conlin, I had previously always said he's 00:39:37.260 --> 00:39:41.719 a fighter. I have seen interviews and stuff. 00:39:41.800 --> 00:39:44.500 I've seen a lot of his press releases and all 00:39:44.500 --> 00:39:50.099 that. He seems like an okay person. His fighting 00:39:50.099 --> 00:39:54.079 style, really rugged Irishman. He's a fucking 00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:57.840 Irish dog, is what he is. But he has no chin. 00:39:58.139 --> 00:40:01.880 Yeah. I just always disliked him, and I had no 00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:05.179 valid reason. You can't fight like that if you've 00:40:05.179 --> 00:40:07.780 got a glass chin. Like, it just doesn't fucking 00:40:07.780 --> 00:40:14.989 work. So, but I wanted him to be good. I just, 00:40:15.130 --> 00:40:21.889 he wasn't. Yeah. Anyways, I don't know if he 00:40:21.889 --> 00:40:24.489 should be fighting. His jaw is clearly shattered. 00:40:24.869 --> 00:40:29.889 Like, it's probably just dangerous at this point. 00:40:30.150 --> 00:40:33.769 He could keep doing these domestic dust -ups, 00:40:33.829 --> 00:40:36.090 I think they call them. Irish dust -ups. Yeah, 00:40:36.090 --> 00:40:40.480 maybe, but like... They're going to have to pick 00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:44.619 people with no power, I think. Which they've 00:40:44.619 --> 00:40:49.099 done. This guy has 20 wins with six knockouts. 00:40:50.219 --> 00:40:55.460 All his wins are on points. And he's probably 00:40:55.460 --> 00:40:59.699 not going to outpoint Nicky Conlin. In Dublin? 00:40:59.940 --> 00:41:05.800 Probably not. I just think they have to... They 00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:08.099 have to match him carefully or he's just going 00:41:08.099 --> 00:41:14.500 to get knocked out again. He'll be fine. I have 00:41:14.500 --> 00:41:21.000 faith. Moving to Saturday, September 6th. It's 00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:25.480 a busy day. Not a whole lot of meat, but there's 00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:29.960 a lot on the plate. Quantity over quality. Yes. 00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:34.079 Starting with matchroom at the Rainton Meadows 00:41:34.079 --> 00:41:37.570 Arena. I gave up trying to pronounce where it 00:41:37.570 --> 00:41:40.349 is. Houghton LeSpring. I think I got it this 00:41:40.349 --> 00:41:45.869 time. But it's headlined by Pat McCormick versus 00:41:45.869 --> 00:41:52.750 Miguel Barra. Good stuff. My man Cameron Vuong 00:41:52.750 --> 00:41:55.050 is going to be featured on this card, hopefully. 00:41:55.329 --> 00:42:00.929 Still TBA. Nice. I would like to see Cameron 00:42:00.929 --> 00:42:05.739 Vuong more. Yeah. I'm not sure why I picked where 00:42:05.739 --> 00:42:10.280 I how I started following him I don't know when 00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:14.559 where why how anything I just did I've just been 00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:16.840 following his career and he's only eight no but 00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:19.940 still I've been watching pretty much since the 00:42:19.940 --> 00:42:23.340 beginning so might as well keep going I want 00:42:23.340 --> 00:42:27.500 him to be somebody I believe in yeah well and 00:42:27.500 --> 00:42:31.179 the main event is a Brit versus a Mexican so 00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:37.780 Upset incoming, perhaps? Put your money... Smart 00:42:37.780 --> 00:42:42.739 money knows where it needs to go. Yeah. And if 00:42:42.739 --> 00:42:46.340 you're betting on the Brit, then... Not smart 00:42:46.340 --> 00:42:51.239 money. Not smart money. Moving on. Matchroom 00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:53.659 in... I don't know what the name of the venue 00:42:53.659 --> 00:42:57.760 is. In Los Mochis, Sinaloa. This one's for the 00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:02.650 IBF 130 -pound title. Eduardo Nunez vs. Christopher 00:43:02.650 --> 00:43:08.329 Diaz. Title implications here, so I'll be watching. 00:43:09.829 --> 00:43:12.989 I gotta look at their faces. I don't recognize 00:43:12.989 --> 00:43:19.550 them. I recognize Nunez. I don't know why I recognize 00:43:19.550 --> 00:43:23.510 him, but I do. Oh, he fought Rikishi. That's 00:43:23.510 --> 00:43:29.670 why I recognize him. Oh, okay. He was at the... 00:43:30.579 --> 00:43:39.400 Yokohama card a few months ago. Fun. Yeah. 28 00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:45.619 wins with 27 knockouts. So that could be a banger. 00:43:45.820 --> 00:43:48.940 Hold up. I want to see this dude that they're 00:43:48.940 --> 00:43:55.679 matching. Pat McCormick is 7 -0. Parra is 25 00:43:55.679 --> 00:44:02.380 -17. 25 with 17 by KO. Yeah. Yeah, I'm really 00:44:02.380 --> 00:44:05.619 hoping for another Brit knockout from a Mexican. 00:44:05.760 --> 00:44:07.940 I really hope you bit off more than you can chew. 00:44:08.460 --> 00:44:12.179 I really, really do. Well, and Eddie Hearn, I 00:44:12.179 --> 00:44:13.980 don't know that Eddie Hearn actually does the 00:44:13.980 --> 00:44:16.559 matchmaking, but Matchroom is shit at matching 00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:19.099 their Brits with Mexicans. Like, it's so bad. 00:44:19.099 --> 00:44:22.239 For some reason, they just keep doing the same 00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:24.940 fucking thing over and over and they're expecting 00:44:24.940 --> 00:44:29.190 different results. And it's amazing. I love it. 00:44:29.210 --> 00:44:38.190 I love the memes. I love the... It's great. But 00:44:38.190 --> 00:44:47.829 that's the card in Los Mochis. And last one at 00:44:47.829 --> 00:44:53.630 the Binational Dome in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. 00:44:55.250 --> 00:45:00.090 Oscar Valdez versus Richard Medina. I'm trying 00:45:00.090 --> 00:45:05.090 to go to this. It's not too far from me. Nice. 00:45:07.070 --> 00:45:11.250 I mean, Valdez should win this, right? You'd 00:45:11.250 --> 00:45:16.889 think. I don't know who Richard Medina is. I 00:45:16.889 --> 00:45:19.570 don't either. I don't know. Nobody, like Isaac 00:45:19.570 --> 00:45:23.750 didn't know. Saul doesn't know. We're thinking 00:45:23.750 --> 00:45:25.329 it's just an opponent they brought in for him 00:45:25.329 --> 00:45:28.630 to have a good win, put on a good show for the 00:45:28.630 --> 00:45:32.710 hometown. He did lose to Raymond Ford a few years 00:45:32.710 --> 00:45:37.150 ago. Not too much shame in losing to Ray Ford. 00:45:38.210 --> 00:45:41.750 No, I just mean he's fought people we know, but 00:45:41.750 --> 00:45:44.829 they seem to all be losses. He lost to George 00:45:44.829 --> 00:45:55.699 Acosta. That name I'm not familiar with. I recognize 00:45:55.699 --> 00:45:58.820 him. I don't know. Akata's not that good. He 00:45:58.820 --> 00:46:03.960 lost to Mark Castro. That is very not good. Yeah. 00:46:05.099 --> 00:46:08.900 So I'm expecting Valdez to knock this guy out 00:46:08.900 --> 00:46:14.179 pretty quick. Valdez isn't necessarily known 00:46:14.179 --> 00:46:20.400 for his pop. Yeah, but he does have 24 knockouts. 00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:29.059 He does. He does. We'll see. That's going to 00:46:29.059 --> 00:46:31.559 be my pick. I don't think Vaughn will put this 00:46:31.559 --> 00:46:37.579 in the pick league. This one? Oh. He should. 00:46:37.659 --> 00:46:40.699 I think it'll be in there. I think it's too wide. 00:46:40.820 --> 00:46:43.780 I don't think anyone will pick Medina. Oh, well. 00:46:44.539 --> 00:46:47.139 Okay, that makes sense. Does he not do that? 00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:51.690 Does he not pick... He tries to pro box it. He 00:46:51.690 --> 00:46:54.030 tries to pick the close one. Competitive matchups. 00:46:54.030 --> 00:46:57.349 Yeah. This one's on ESPN. I thought Top Rank 00:46:57.349 --> 00:47:01.150 was off ESPN. They're running their deal out, 00:47:01.250 --> 00:47:04.489 I think. Oh, okay. I thought it was officially 00:47:04.489 --> 00:47:09.050 over. I think the news, if I recall correctly, 00:47:09.150 --> 00:47:10.489 the news was that they're not going to renew. 00:47:11.909 --> 00:47:14.929 Oh, okay. I misunderstood. Yeah. That's all good. 00:47:16.489 --> 00:47:20.090 It'll be easy to watch, at least. That's all 00:47:20.090 --> 00:47:24.000 we got. That's not so bad. It's better than the 00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:27.780 last couple weeks have been. Quite a bit. Yeah. 00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:33.239 Actual real boxing again. And then the week after, 00:47:33.300 --> 00:47:36.840 there's good boxing, right? Yeah, that's when 00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:48.079 the old Bud Nello... And, in a way, MJ. And there's 00:47:48.079 --> 00:47:51.900 more on that weekend. I'm not sure why anybody 00:47:51.900 --> 00:47:53.699 would want to try to compete with those two, 00:47:53.800 --> 00:48:02.599 but... Yeah. I don't know. Let me do this. So 00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:05.940 we're heading into a pretty busy weekend. Low 00:48:05.940 --> 00:48:14.880 -ish quality, high quantity parting words. I 00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:18.420 actually have a big day planned, I think. We'll 00:48:18.420 --> 00:48:21.489 see if it works out, but... Since I didn't get 00:48:21.489 --> 00:48:25.070 a ticket, I'm watching Inoue in Tokyo at the 00:48:25.070 --> 00:48:30.269 bar is my plan. And that weekend is also Oktoberfest 00:48:30.269 --> 00:48:33.289 at the racetrack that's in between my house and 00:48:33.289 --> 00:48:36.510 Tokyo, the horse races. So I'm going to go drink 00:48:36.510 --> 00:48:39.110 some beer, bet on some horses, and then carry 00:48:39.110 --> 00:48:41.730 on to the bar afterwards. Go back to the bar. 00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:46.480 Well, so like from my house, I'll go to the racetrack, 00:48:46.480 --> 00:48:49.460 have some Oktoberfest beers. Oh, and then mosey 00:48:49.460 --> 00:48:53.159 down to the bar. Yeah, they're doing some anniversary 00:48:53.159 --> 00:48:56.260 stuff. So they have like raffles and stuff. You 00:48:56.260 --> 00:49:01.920 put your losing bet slips in for draws. Yeah, 00:49:02.059 --> 00:49:05.079 there's going to be some famous jockeys there 00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:07.679 that are doing autographs and like some of the 00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:10.699 raffle prizes are autographed race bibs and stuff. 00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:14.820 I don't know who these jockeys are. I don't particularly 00:49:14.820 --> 00:49:17.199 want to win a race bib, but they have smaller 00:49:17.199 --> 00:49:19.480 prizes that would be cool. And the chances of 00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:24.420 me winning a big prize are zero. They got keychains 00:49:24.420 --> 00:49:29.780 and stuff and little horse plushes. I think it's 00:49:29.780 --> 00:49:31.800 going to be fun. I invited a few friends, but 00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:38.420 nobody else likes horse races. Man, do I have 00:49:38.420 --> 00:49:40.539 parting words? I don't have anything smart lined 00:49:40.539 --> 00:49:49.889 up. Um, do drugs, uh, especially for free. Try 00:49:49.889 --> 00:49:54.170 some mushrooms. Yeah, do, try, like, I had, I 00:49:54.170 --> 00:49:57.929 got, I upped the, uh, the dose on my microdose 00:49:57.929 --> 00:50:03.269 mushrooms, and it's, it's pretty nice. It's been, 00:50:03.309 --> 00:50:08.730 it's been a good day. Perfect. So our parting 00:50:08.730 --> 00:50:13.389 words are drink beer, gamble, and do drugs. Yep. 00:50:13.849 --> 00:50:15.750 Perfect. Those are the best parting words ever. 00:50:18.710 --> 00:50:24.469 Alright. We are fucking out of here. Bye.
