WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:28.839 This shit ain't nothing to me, man. Gotta get 00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:32.579 your podcast right, Leo. Yes, I do. That was 00:00:32.579 --> 00:00:36.000 the little hand. That was my thinking moment. 00:00:36.740 --> 00:00:39.820 Like, wait, what am I doing right now? Who am 00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:43.619 I talking to? What is this? Where am I? Alzheimer's 00:00:43.619 --> 00:00:46.659 setting in already. Sad to see. Can't help myself. 00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:52.039 Brain deteriorating. Oh, shit. Boxing Before 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.520 Dark, we are all up in your ears, and we're here 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.609 to talk the fucking fights. Man, Shanada, how 00:00:57.609 --> 00:01:02.750 are you? I am good. I have been doing some trip 00:01:02.750 --> 00:01:08.230 and fight bookings. Got my ticket for the 1FC 00:01:08.230 --> 00:01:13.129 in November in Tokyo. I've never seen kickboxing 00:01:13.129 --> 00:01:18.310 live, so I'm actually pretty excited. Did Ryzen 00:01:18.310 --> 00:01:21.189 not have it? There was no kickboxing. It was 00:01:21.189 --> 00:01:24.530 all MMA stuff. Oh, shit. I thought Ryzen was... 00:01:24.530 --> 00:01:29.650 Oh, Ryze. Sorry. They have an organization called 00:01:29.650 --> 00:01:33.010 Ryze, and that's kickboxing. And then there's 00:01:33.010 --> 00:01:34.750 Ryzen. Yeah, no, but that's different. That's 00:01:34.750 --> 00:01:40.849 MMA. Yeah. My mistake. Yeah. So, and I might 00:01:40.849 --> 00:01:43.310 be missing in two weeks because I'm going up 00:01:43.310 --> 00:01:47.209 to Hokkaido to watch Draft Horse Racing. It's 00:01:47.209 --> 00:01:51.939 the main reason for this trip. So they got the 00:01:51.939 --> 00:01:55.459 big draft horses pulling heavy sleds, and there's 00:01:55.459 --> 00:02:00.659 two small hills built into the course. I'm really 00:02:00.659 --> 00:02:02.459 excited about it, actually. I think it's going 00:02:02.459 --> 00:02:06.719 to be super cool. Them being draft horses does 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.919 make it cooler, just because they're bigger and 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:14.259 beefier. Well, and it's built in such a way where 00:02:14.259 --> 00:02:17.599 no horse can pull the sled from start to finish. 00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:22.139 without a rest so there's actually a lot of like 00:02:22.139 --> 00:02:25.280 knowing your animal and strategy involved whoa 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.599 yeah and like stopping the sled and restarting 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:36.020 it is bad obviously because momentum but you 00:02:36.020 --> 00:02:38.419 you have to do it at least once but do you do 00:02:38.419 --> 00:02:40.800 it twice for a short time or once for a longer 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:45.039 time and how far from each uh hill do you stop 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:49.819 and anyway I'm super stoked. If anybody's interested 00:02:49.819 --> 00:02:53.939 in looking it up, it's called Vane, V -A -N -E 00:02:53.939 --> 00:02:56.960 -I, and it's up on YouTube. It's pretty fun. 00:02:59.780 --> 00:03:02.919 This actually does sound a little bit more entertaining 00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.300 than Floyd Mayweather versus Mike Tyson. Yeah. 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.080 I am not excited for this at all. Not even a 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.680 little bit. This is the dumbest shit fucking 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.900 ever. Ever. Floyd's ducking Manny again. What's 00:03:20.900 --> 00:03:27.960 new? And Mike Tyson can barely walk. There's 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.819 no fucking chance he catches Floyd Mayweather. 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:35.099 Mayweather's still in really good shape. They're 00:03:35.099 --> 00:03:40.500 not going to hurt each other. It's not the point 00:03:40.500 --> 00:03:43.340 of the event. The point is to just pitter -patter, 00:03:43.500 --> 00:03:50.659 move around a bit. Nothing serious. I would imagine 00:03:50.659 --> 00:03:54.280 something serious. The only one of these Mike 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:57.819 Tyson ones that was worth doing, in my opinion, 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.719 was the Roy Jones Jr. one. Because they're both 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:08.800 old and can hardly move. It was even. But Floyd's 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.759 just going to dance around and make... Old decrepit 00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.780 Mike Tyson looks stupid and it's gonna make me 00:04:15.780 --> 00:04:24.199 sad. Why do they insist on making me sad? I don't 00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:28.620 know. If Mayweather's coming out of retirement, 00:04:28.779 --> 00:04:32.959 he should fight Manny. This is stupid. This has 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:37.860 to be an exhibition. Right? I would think so. 00:04:40.430 --> 00:04:45.649 But who the fuck knows? Like, it should be. Should 00:04:45.649 --> 00:04:48.870 be. Yeah, they could just forum shop and find 00:04:48.870 --> 00:04:52.490 somebody that's willing to sanction it. That 00:04:52.490 --> 00:04:56.670 would be a bad look, though. Yeah, but lots of 00:04:56.670 --> 00:05:02.290 those sanctioning bodies do not care. True. Oh, 00:05:02.430 --> 00:05:04.670 speaking of sanctioning bodies that do not care. 00:05:05.589 --> 00:05:12.449 Jaime Munguia. Cleared of all charges. In the 00:05:12.449 --> 00:05:19.689 stupidest way possible. Right. So, like, somebody 00:05:19.689 --> 00:05:22.110 said false positive, but that's not what this 00:05:22.110 --> 00:05:24.850 is. No, it's not. No one's saying it's a false 00:05:24.850 --> 00:05:29.550 positive. They're saying that Munguia used something, 00:05:29.810 --> 00:05:34.129 but it's something that's allowed. But then he 00:05:34.129 --> 00:05:39.149 goes on to say Eddie... Had no idea. What he 00:05:39.149 --> 00:05:43.250 was using. And knows nothing about this. So his. 00:05:44.470 --> 00:05:48.949 Test. Was positive. For a non -ban substance. 00:05:49.410 --> 00:05:53.850 That his coach had no idea. He was taking. The 00:05:53.850 --> 00:05:58.350 substance is not. Is banned in the UK. It's not 00:05:58.350 --> 00:06:01.689 banned in the US. Or anywhere else for that matter. 00:06:01.829 --> 00:06:07.550 That's why. He was. He popped. a legitimate pop 00:06:07.550 --> 00:06:11.149 but he submitted himself to extra testing to 00:06:11.149 --> 00:06:14.769 prove like no this yes i was on i was taking 00:06:14.769 --> 00:06:19.350 that supplement uh but i thought it was allowed 00:06:19.350 --> 00:06:21.290 because it's allowed everywhere else but here 00:06:21.290 --> 00:06:27.129 apparently and yeah he did so nail testing follicle 00:06:27.129 --> 00:06:31.329 testing didn't he still break the rules then 00:06:31.329 --> 00:06:33.509 because wasn't that shanked it sanctioned by 00:06:33.509 --> 00:06:39.319 the uk yeah exactly So it's still wrong. Why 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:50.379 is this not a no contest? Because... Yes. Yes. 00:06:50.540 --> 00:06:56.240 Like, it's so fucking stupid. If you're playing 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.040 a sport in a league, you need to know the rules 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:03.600 for that league. I know sanctioning bodies aren't 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.399 exactly leagues, but it's pretty similar. If 00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:09.920 you know you're going to be sanctioned by the 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:16.560 British Boxing Board of Commission, like, you 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.720 have to stop taking the stuff. Now, maybe he 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.600 did, but... If he'd have told them before, I'm 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:25.720 on this thing that's allowed in the States that's 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.759 not allowed in Britain. I'm stopping now, but 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.660 I'll probably still test positive. That would 00:07:31.660 --> 00:07:40.480 be different. Yeah, it's tough. Because I can 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:46.600 see why the UK would want to just let it go to 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.459 make themselves look a little bit more lenient 00:07:49.459 --> 00:07:58.350 and not... Oh, fucky. I guess, but the whole 00:07:58.350 --> 00:08:03.209 thing's just stupid. In all honesty, boxing's 00:08:03.209 --> 00:08:06.550 such an international sport, we should have a 00:08:06.550 --> 00:08:10.110 set of agreed -on banned substances at this point. 00:08:14.310 --> 00:08:18.970 Right. Like when we talked about, what's his 00:08:18.970 --> 00:08:24.370 name? He popped for something in Texas and then 00:08:24.370 --> 00:08:29.350 he went to fight in the UK. Rodriguez? Was he... 00:08:29.350 --> 00:08:33.110 That's a situation... Francisco? I think you're 00:08:33.110 --> 00:08:35.169 right. That's something that could have easily 00:08:35.169 --> 00:08:38.570 been avoided if commissions were to talk to each 00:08:38.570 --> 00:08:45.509 other. Yeah. Even if the association... If all 00:08:45.509 --> 00:08:49.159 of the state commissions feed up... Into the 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:52.440 Association of Commissions. So it becomes a little 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:55.139 bit more of an operating thing instead of just 00:08:55.139 --> 00:08:59.179 like an administrative sort of umbrella. Would 00:08:59.179 --> 00:09:04.320 be nice. Because then the Association of American 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:09.100 Commissions can talk to British Border Patrol 00:09:09.100 --> 00:09:13.659 or whatever. Yeah, I don't know. The whole thing 00:09:13.659 --> 00:09:24.149 is just... It's stupid. Yes. Quite. But. I mean, 00:09:24.169 --> 00:09:28.210 this is definitely a name recognition thing, 00:09:28.350 --> 00:09:32.169 in my opinion. If it was reversed and Sarath 00:09:32.169 --> 00:09:36.470 had done this, like, and beaten Munguia, it would 00:09:36.470 --> 00:09:39.990 be a no contest. And he'd be banned from competing 00:09:39.990 --> 00:09:45.809 in the UK for like a year. Yeah. Yeah. But. Silly. 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:56.460 Speaking of silly, Inoue vs. Picasso. In December. 00:09:57.379 --> 00:10:01.179 Once again, Inoue's looking past his current 00:10:01.179 --> 00:10:05.559 opponent. I don't know why. I fucking hate this. 00:10:05.620 --> 00:10:08.620 You can sign whatever, but don't announce it 00:10:08.620 --> 00:10:13.480 ahead of time. That's what the post -fight conference 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.740 is for. It's like, oh, what's next for you, Naoya? 00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:19.720 that's when you say like oh well we we've been 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:22.240 cooking this deal in the back and now we're ready 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.379 to announce we're fighting picasso in december 00:10:24.379 --> 00:10:32.100 yeah and like mj is not nobody right december 00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:36.320 is not that far away they they're seriously banking 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:40.799 on making easy work of him yeah like what if 00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:45.259 mj cracks his eye or something like it could 00:10:45.259 --> 00:10:50.220 happen Yeah, it has happened before. In a way, 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:53.059 it's not impervious to fucking orbital breaks. 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:57.019 Yeah, like, I fucking hate this. I hate this 00:10:57.019 --> 00:11:01.320 so much. And they're doing it to everybody with 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.759 a name now. Like, they did it to Bam before he 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.039 fought Kafu. They've done it the last, like, 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:12.740 two or three Inoue fights. I'm sure there's other 00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:16.379 ones I'm not thinking of right now. Just stop 00:11:16.379 --> 00:11:21.740 with this. Yeah. Stop showing your pants. Also, 00:11:21.740 --> 00:11:26.159 who wants to see Inoue versus Picasso? Fucking 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.059 nobody. Nobody wants that fight. Picasso's bank 00:11:30.059 --> 00:11:36.419 account wants that fight. I guess. But, like, 00:11:36.500 --> 00:11:42.139 I mean, fans don't want that fight. Also, does 00:11:42.139 --> 00:11:45.419 that mean Inoue is going up? a weight class and 00:11:45.419 --> 00:11:48.980 coming back down to fight nakatani that's stupid 00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:52.580 uh is he going up to fight picasso or is he bringing 00:11:52.580 --> 00:11:55.879 picasso back down i don't know i don't think 00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:57.799 they've announced that but that's that's part 00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:00.320 of my question yeah i'm thinking they're bringing 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:09.960 picasso down maybe a catchweight so imagine we're 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:16.110 getting into mid Mid -late November. And then 00:12:16.110 --> 00:12:20.710 they announce interweaver Sam Goodman. In fucking... 00:12:20.710 --> 00:12:29.610 Like, early March. I will fucking riot. I will 00:12:29.610 --> 00:12:34.970 legitimately fucking storm the JBC or something. 00:12:35.070 --> 00:12:40.590 I know where their headquarters are, so... Why 00:12:40.590 --> 00:12:43.279 not? If you're going to clean out a division, 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:54.019 might as well be thorough. No. Just no. Also, 00:12:54.139 --> 00:12:57.240 didn't Sam Goodman go up a weight class? Yes, 00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:01.399 he did as well. Yeah. I mean, for in a way money, 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.220 I'm sure he's going down. He would go back to 00:13:05.220 --> 00:13:14.049 22 without question. In a way, Goodman, finally. 00:13:14.309 --> 00:13:17.909 The fans are finally getting the fight they've 00:13:17.909 --> 00:13:21.409 been waiting for. It would be kind of funny if 00:13:21.409 --> 00:13:25.330 Goodman was his first 126 fight. I think that 00:13:25.330 --> 00:13:29.129 would be pretty funny. That would be good. That 00:13:29.129 --> 00:13:36.049 would actually be a decent 126 debut. I don't 00:13:36.049 --> 00:13:39.389 think Inoue's dad is going to give Goodman the 00:13:39.389 --> 00:13:52.809 time of day ever again. I hope not. Man. Speaking 00:13:52.809 --> 00:13:56.149 of time of day, that doesn't work. That's not 00:13:56.149 --> 00:13:58.769 a good one, Leo. Don't do that. Parker versus 00:13:58.769 --> 00:14:02.509 Wardley in October. This is the first I'm hearing 00:14:02.509 --> 00:14:09.419 of this. Saw an announcement online. I think 00:14:09.419 --> 00:14:13.460 it's legit. Which, Parker's getting fucked again. 00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:18.299 Like, this poor man just can't get his shot. 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:29.879 I can't remember where I saw it, though. Yeah, 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:32.799 I haven't seen anything else about this. It's 00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:39.730 on ESPN. So, I mean, it must be relatively legit. 00:14:40.169 --> 00:14:45.210 Yeah. They are in talks for October 25th in London. 00:14:46.070 --> 00:14:51.529 Tyson Mayweather's in the exhibition. Okay. That's 00:14:51.529 --> 00:14:54.250 good. Yeah, that's exactly what it should be. 00:14:54.389 --> 00:15:00.529 If it's going to be anything. Yeah, so I guess 00:15:00.529 --> 00:15:04.740 the idea is Usyk asked for an extension. on his, 00:15:04.740 --> 00:15:12.539 whatever you call it, talks with Parker, and 00:15:12.539 --> 00:15:15.980 Parker wants to stay busy, so he's talking to 00:15:15.980 --> 00:15:19.120 Fabio Wardley about an October fight, and then 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:23.899 Usyk would theoretically be after that. Assuming 00:15:23.899 --> 00:15:26.639 he wins. Yeah, I was going to say, if Parker 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:32.960 gets sparked by Wardley, like... Another oceanic... 00:15:34.769 --> 00:15:38.210 fighter gets sparked by wordly after boxing him 00:15:38.210 --> 00:15:44.710 soundly for like 10 rounds i mean it could happen 00:15:44.710 --> 00:15:46.710 parker's got a pretty good chin i don't think 00:15:46.710 --> 00:15:52.429 it will happen but it could but i guess that 00:15:52.429 --> 00:15:54.769 one could be kind of an exciting fight but i 00:15:54.769 --> 00:15:57.450 just parker deserves his shot at usik i don't 00:15:57.450 --> 00:16:03.059 know why he's getting screwed over so badly Oh, 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.440 also happening in October, Danny Garcia is back. 00:16:08.940 --> 00:16:13.879 Really? Yeah. Why? Farewell to Brooklyn is the 00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:19.519 name of the event. This is... So, like, he's 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:22.320 coming out of... I guess he never said he was 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.639 retired, but he's coming out of retirement for 00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:28.679 a farewell fight? For the beginning of winding 00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:33.830 down his career. I thought his career was done. 00:16:34.070 --> 00:16:37.190 I thought so too. So he's going to say farewell 00:16:37.190 --> 00:16:42.090 to Brooklyn. Then just example cities. Farewell 00:16:42.090 --> 00:16:46.950 to Miami. Farewell to Las Vegas. Farewell to 00:16:46.950 --> 00:16:52.230 Los Angeles. And then finally, his last fight, 00:16:52.289 --> 00:16:57.870 poetically, will be in Philadelphia. I see. Where 00:16:57.870 --> 00:17:05.210 he's going to say farewell to boxing. Well, I 00:17:05.210 --> 00:17:08.910 mean, I liked Danny Garcia, but... Yeah, he was 00:17:08.910 --> 00:17:13.269 fun. I thought he was done a long time ago. I 00:17:13.269 --> 00:17:17.750 will watch, though. I will be tuning in. Well, 00:17:17.789 --> 00:17:20.509 I mean, for all intents and purposes, he was 00:17:20.509 --> 00:17:25.630 done a while ago. He hasn't done anything noteworthy. 00:17:27.150 --> 00:17:30.410 I don't think he's had a fight since 2022, has 00:17:30.410 --> 00:17:35.740 he? 2024, he fought Erislam Dilara. Oh, did he? 00:17:35.819 --> 00:17:38.099 Yeah. I missed that one. And it looked like he 00:17:38.099 --> 00:17:40.819 was going to have a meltdown in the middle of 00:17:40.819 --> 00:17:43.819 the fight, and that's why his dad called it off. 00:17:44.299 --> 00:17:47.359 They stopped it in the corner, and it looked 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:50.000 like Danny Garcia was going to have an emotional 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.200 breakdown. That's not good. No, not good at all. 00:17:59.630 --> 00:18:05.309 Get some help, dude. I mean, I guess one last 00:18:05.309 --> 00:18:08.569 farewell fight will pay for the help. I suppose. 00:18:09.150 --> 00:18:13.769 If that's what he's doing. Is Danny Garcia the 00:18:13.769 --> 00:18:17.869 one with the clothing line? Yes. It is god -awful 00:18:17.869 --> 00:18:20.950 in such a horrific way that I love it, though. 00:18:21.450 --> 00:18:24.170 It is fucking perfect for someone who looks like 00:18:24.170 --> 00:18:29.690 Danny Garcia. Yeah, people like him. If that's 00:18:29.690 --> 00:18:33.650 the look you're going for, it's spot on. But 00:18:33.650 --> 00:18:41.410 I would not wear it. Holy shit. Remember the 00:18:41.410 --> 00:18:50.289 Algerian boxer woman, Imane Khalif? She and others 00:18:50.289 --> 00:18:56.630 are... She was a... The Transvestigators came 00:18:56.630 --> 00:19:01.549 out. Like witch hunting. Oh, yes. Okay. I know 00:19:01.549 --> 00:19:07.569 who it is now. And there are other female boxers 00:19:07.569 --> 00:19:10.049 that are going to be missing the world championships. 00:19:12.809 --> 00:19:16.569 That doesn't surprise me. New gender testing. 00:19:17.849 --> 00:19:25.170 Compulsory gender testing. Well, do you remember... 00:19:25.930 --> 00:19:29.869 It was a while ago, but they did this for, I 00:19:29.869 --> 00:19:33.910 think it was the World Games. Not the Olympics, 00:19:34.130 --> 00:19:37.210 but the other ones. And a whole bunch of people 00:19:37.210 --> 00:19:39.509 were finding out that they weren't what they 00:19:39.509 --> 00:19:41.329 thought they were. They were something in between. 00:19:42.529 --> 00:19:46.390 And that's why they did chromosome testing. Yeah, 00:19:46.410 --> 00:19:48.930 that's what they're asking for here. Yeah, yeah, 00:19:48.950 --> 00:19:52.630 yeah. And a whole bunch of athletes found out 00:19:52.630 --> 00:19:55.970 that they weren't. XX or XY. They were something 00:19:55.970 --> 00:20:01.890 else. They're chimerical. Or, like, XXY or XYY 00:20:01.890 --> 00:20:05.250 or whatever. Like, there's a bunch of them. And 00:20:05.250 --> 00:20:07.690 they stopped testing because it was kind of, 00:20:07.750 --> 00:20:11.509 like, fucking people's heads up at 24 to realize 00:20:11.509 --> 00:20:15.029 that they weren't, you know, what they thought 00:20:15.029 --> 00:20:18.230 they were. Quote -unquote pure male or pure female. 00:20:18.950 --> 00:20:23.279 Yeah, whatever, right? And they're... Everybody's 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:28.940 always like, well, why don't women ever... I'm 00:20:28.940 --> 00:20:31.319 not good at the wording. Why don't the people 00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:33.599 that were born women ever compete in male sports? 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:36.940 And there's a handful that have won world medals 00:20:36.940 --> 00:20:43.700 that are not XY. But anyways, they're like XXY 00:20:43.700 --> 00:20:47.400 and stuff. But they only found out because the 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:49.680 Olympics made... Not the Olympics. The world's 00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:53.150 made them do the chromosome testing. Which is 00:20:53.150 --> 00:20:56.970 part of my whole argument with this shit. It's 00:20:56.970 --> 00:20:58.789 so stupid, because you don't know what you are 00:20:58.789 --> 00:21:04.130 unless you've tested. In many cases. Like, and 00:21:04.130 --> 00:21:06.789 that's not standard testing anywhere. Unless 00:21:06.789 --> 00:21:11.210 you have some symptoms or something, nobody ever 00:21:11.210 --> 00:21:15.130 tests that. Why does it matter? What do you do 00:21:15.130 --> 00:21:19.710 with the information if you're a chimera anyway? 00:21:21.390 --> 00:21:23.750 Well, it's not even chimera. Like, that's not 00:21:23.750 --> 00:21:27.549 the only thing, right? There's lots of chimeras 00:21:27.549 --> 00:21:31.849 when there was two fetuses that melded together. 00:21:32.450 --> 00:21:35.150 Oh, I thought that was when you're like an XXY. 00:21:35.990 --> 00:21:41.789 No. No, that's just a chromosomal anomaly. The 00:21:41.789 --> 00:21:46.869 most famous one is Down syndrome. Yeah. But, 00:21:46.950 --> 00:21:52.130 like... There's a surprising number of people 00:21:52.130 --> 00:21:57.329 who start getting, like, abdomen pain when they're 00:21:57.329 --> 00:21:59.529 an adult and they find out they have, like, hidden 00:21:59.529 --> 00:22:03.490 testes that never descended and no penis or something. 00:22:03.670 --> 00:22:07.950 Right. Like, it happens a lot more often than 00:22:07.950 --> 00:22:10.210 people think. If you go look at the actual numbers, 00:22:10.329 --> 00:22:16.740 it's, like, 1 in 500 live -born... Male presenting 00:22:16.740 --> 00:22:25.740 babies is not XY. Wow. Where do you make the 00:22:25.740 --> 00:22:29.059 distinction of what qualifies as a female and 00:22:29.059 --> 00:22:32.259 what doesn't? Yeah, I think this is probably 00:22:32.259 --> 00:22:34.640 not great for the boxing podcast. Yeah, this 00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:37.339 is not the conversation for this. Not the place 00:22:37.339 --> 00:22:41.180 for this conversation. Khalif that you're talking 00:22:41.180 --> 00:22:44.759 about, the reason they vilified her was her testosterone 00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:47.980 levels. So it's not even that she's chromosomally 00:22:47.980 --> 00:22:54.480 not female. Like, she's XX, she just makes more 00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:58.259 testosterone than the average XX person. She 00:22:58.259 --> 00:23:03.640 is a literal, actual warrior. Of course she's 00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:05.819 going to have higher testosterone than the average 00:23:05.819 --> 00:23:13.480 female. Lots of athletes have different levels 00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:15.980 of hormones and stuff than the average person. 00:23:16.180 --> 00:23:18.799 That's what makes them a fucking world -class 00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:23.660 athlete. Yeah. Like, long -distance runners have 00:23:23.660 --> 00:23:27.980 crazy VO2 maxes that normal people will never 00:23:27.980 --> 00:23:30.960 have, no matter how much training they do. How 00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:33.819 is that any different than, you know, a lady 00:23:33.819 --> 00:23:36.940 that has extra testosterone? Naturally, without 00:23:36.940 --> 00:23:42.970 adding to it. The whole arguments are stupid. 00:23:44.650 --> 00:23:53.009 The doctor has spoken. Anyways. Yeah. Just really 00:23:53.009 --> 00:23:57.829 shitty that the French team is not able to compete 00:23:57.829 --> 00:24:01.549 because they missed the deadline for chromosomal 00:24:01.549 --> 00:24:04.549 testing. For the testing? Yeah. Really shitty. 00:24:06.849 --> 00:24:14.500 Yeah. wonder what these chromosomal testing what 00:24:14.500 --> 00:24:17.339 they're gonna do with the people that aren't 00:24:17.339 --> 00:24:21.519 XX or XY are they just disqualified did they 00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:25.880 have to compete in a male category like because 00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:27.819 there's gonna be more people than people think 00:24:27.819 --> 00:24:31.619 if they do chromosomal testing it's going to 00:24:31.619 --> 00:24:36.329 be a percentage like it's not going to be 0 .001 00:24:36.329 --> 00:24:39.069 or something it's going to be like two percent 00:24:39.069 --> 00:24:44.230 of athletes what if a male like male presenting 00:24:44.230 --> 00:24:49.190 fights has been fighting with males his whole 00:24:49.190 --> 00:24:54.809 life uh gets chromosomal testing and is whatever 00:24:54.809 --> 00:24:59.569 gets the cut off because it's too female And 00:24:59.569 --> 00:25:02.109 now you're putting a male into female sports? 00:25:02.829 --> 00:25:09.730 There are XXY guys out there. Yeah. This is really 00:25:09.730 --> 00:25:13.490 dumb. So what's the cutoff? Having one Y automatically 00:25:13.490 --> 00:25:16.670 makes you a guy? What if you have two Ys? Then 00:25:16.670 --> 00:25:23.029 you do produce more testosterone. Is that fair 00:25:23.029 --> 00:25:25.170 to have you compete against men with only one 00:25:25.170 --> 00:25:34.390 Y? The whole thing's stupid. Yes. I don't know 00:25:34.390 --> 00:25:37.289 who this new fucking testing organization is, 00:25:37.410 --> 00:25:40.710 but they need to get fucked. Well, like I said, 00:25:40.750 --> 00:25:44.809 they've done this before. This isn't brand new. 00:25:44.869 --> 00:25:52.130 It just wasn't as public before. Maybe it wasn't 00:25:52.130 --> 00:25:54.009 the world, but definitely international stuff. 00:25:56.869 --> 00:26:02.920 The heavyweight champion of UFC is looking at 00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:08.500 is leaving the door open to the possibility of 00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:14.039 crossing over to boxing. I think he could have 00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:20.980 some success. He has really good hands. That 00:26:20.980 --> 00:26:24.259 could be interesting. Yeah. And he's not old 00:26:24.259 --> 00:26:27.630 and washed up or anything. We haven't seen very 00:26:27.630 --> 00:26:34.109 many people transition from MMA to boxing. Tony 00:26:34.109 --> 00:26:40.750 Ferguson? The guy who just... Last weekend. But, 00:26:40.829 --> 00:26:43.650 like, I can think of a couple Muay Thai guys 00:26:43.650 --> 00:26:46.289 and, like, kickboxers and stuff. Like, Chris 00:26:46.289 --> 00:26:52.049 Algieri was a kickboxing world champion. Didn't 00:26:52.049 --> 00:26:55.809 SSR start off in Muay Thai? Yeah, he did. Yeah. 00:26:56.509 --> 00:27:01.109 But I can't think of any UFC guys, UFC -style 00:27:01.109 --> 00:27:05.089 MMA, Bellator, any of those. I can't think of 00:27:05.089 --> 00:27:15.970 anybody crossing over that way. AJ, fellow Brit 00:27:15.970 --> 00:27:20.250 options, and Francis Ngannou. Nah, I don't think 00:27:20.250 --> 00:27:25.869 that's going to happen. Because if... Now that 00:27:25.869 --> 00:27:29.529 Dana White is able to promote boxing events because 00:27:29.529 --> 00:27:34.750 he has the backing of the Saudis, now that he 00:27:34.750 --> 00:27:37.990 can do that, if any of his fighters want to have 00:27:37.990 --> 00:27:41.769 a boxing event, it's not difficult. They have 00:27:41.769 --> 00:27:49.609 a platform. Right. That's all in -house. Oh. 00:27:51.109 --> 00:27:54.880 Leo, I just Googled this. They're not actually 00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:58.700 doing full chromosomal testing. Oh. They're doing 00:27:58.700 --> 00:28:03.259 a test for one specific gene that is on the Y 00:28:03.259 --> 00:28:06.440 chromosome. So it just tests if you have a Y 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:08.700 chromosome or not. They're not doing the full, 00:28:08.819 --> 00:28:14.019 you have this many chromosomes. Hmm. So they 00:28:14.019 --> 00:28:17.079 won't know, and they're not testing men at all. 00:28:17.660 --> 00:28:23.359 Oh, of course not. So, you know. Yeah, it's just 00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:27.880 females. And apparently there is an exception 00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:32.240 for people with complete androgen insensitivity 00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:36.240 syndrome, which means that your body has no testosterone 00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:39.940 receptor. So I guess if you test positive for 00:28:39.940 --> 00:28:42.460 a Y chromosome, they'll have to do a follow -up 00:28:42.460 --> 00:28:46.619 test to see if your body can react to it. Seems 00:28:46.619 --> 00:28:52.619 complicated. Yeah, this seems pretty complicated 00:28:52.619 --> 00:29:00.200 for boxing. Yeah. Anyways, less invasive than 00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:06.559 a full chromosome test, so maybe better. I shrugged, 00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:10.259 since this is, like, audio only. Yeah. I just 00:29:10.259 --> 00:29:15.099 gave a big, like, the fuck, man. Yeah, I'm with 00:29:15.099 --> 00:29:18.019 you, but less invasive than finding out that 00:29:18.019 --> 00:29:22.339 you only have one X chromosome because you don't 00:29:22.339 --> 00:29:27.140 need two of those. Which is called Turner Syndrome. 00:29:29.700 --> 00:29:34.339 Well, on that little note, let me put some bows 00:29:34.339 --> 00:29:38.660 on here. Fucking housekeeping shit, what do I 00:29:38.660 --> 00:29:43.039 got? Social media stuff, LVX Media Net, all one 00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:48.359 word. Follow us.

If you 00:30:03.980 --> 00:30:10.069 want to drop a line on the... chromosome testing. 00:30:10.890 --> 00:30:15.170 I'm sure that'll be a good conversation.

Tony Ferguson beats Salt 00:33:13.670 --> 00:33:18.750 Poppy. And I think it was Darren Till got laid 00:33:18.750 --> 00:33:23.150 the fuck out. I did not watch this, I'm not gonna 00:33:23.150 --> 00:33:27.039 lie. I don't really remember. I know for sure 00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:30.960 Tony Ferguson beat Salt Poppy. Yeah. Just because 00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:34.640 I know who Tony Ferguson is. The other two, the 00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:38.019 main event was Darren Till versus something or 00:33:38.019 --> 00:33:40.420 other. And I have no idea who the fuck they are. 00:33:40.539 --> 00:33:45.799 But one of them got murked. So that's fun. Nice. 00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:53.950 Coming up this weekend. We have The Ring is doing 00:33:53.950 --> 00:34:00.750 an event. The Ring presents The Underdog is what 00:34:00.750 --> 00:34:06.670 the event is called. Not sure why. I think because 00:34:06.670 --> 00:34:11.670 they're little guys. Yeah, probably. I used to 00:34:11.670 --> 00:34:16.130 like that cartoon, Underdog. I don't remember 00:34:16.130 --> 00:34:21.969 that one. I remember Superdog. Superdog. That 00:34:21.969 --> 00:34:26.730 one's new to me. He was Superman, but a dog. 00:34:27.510 --> 00:34:33.769 The ring presents the underdog at the Fontainebleau 00:34:33.769 --> 00:34:36.949 in Las Vegas. There's a bunch of shit on here 00:34:36.949 --> 00:34:39.630 that I don't care about. Anthony Olasquaga versus 00:34:39.630 --> 00:34:44.989 Juan Carlos Camacho Rivera. I'm excited for this 00:34:44.989 --> 00:34:49.150 one. I really like Olasquaga. Wonder what color 00:34:49.150 --> 00:34:52.570 of... hair and gloves he'll have this time? It'll 00:34:52.570 --> 00:34:55.050 be pink again. Oh, is he at all? I'm 99 % sure. 00:34:55.230 --> 00:34:58.849 Yeah, yeah, yeah. His nickname is the princess. 00:34:59.250 --> 00:35:01.150 Oh, that's right. That's why he wears pink. That's 00:35:01.150 --> 00:35:05.269 him. Yeah. So he'll just do it like a different 00:35:05.269 --> 00:35:07.449 pattern instead of having like the cherry blossoms 00:35:07.449 --> 00:35:11.389 since he was in Japan last time. Yeah. That's 00:35:11.389 --> 00:35:15.909 cool. He'll do something French maybe. Maybe. 00:35:15.989 --> 00:35:21.230 Yeah. He's very... fashionable on Instagram and 00:35:21.230 --> 00:35:23.789 stuff, so I imagine his walkout outfit will be 00:35:23.789 --> 00:35:29.949 themed for sure. High fashion. Yeah. I like Ola 00:35:29.949 --> 00:35:33.510 Squaga. I think he'll probably win, but I don't 00:35:33.510 --> 00:35:36.630 really know this other guy, to be honest. I don't 00:35:36.630 --> 00:35:41.150 either. He's from Puerto Rico. His name is The 00:35:41.150 --> 00:35:45.469 Indian? El Indio? That's The Indian, right? It 00:35:45.469 --> 00:35:50.630 is. Yeah, the native. I guess would be what he's 00:35:50.630 --> 00:35:55.230 more aiming for. Probably dark. Is he dark skinned? 00:35:56.530 --> 00:36:03.809 I guess. Not really. Kind of. Not for Puerto 00:36:03.809 --> 00:36:10.190 Rico. Whenever you're dark skinned, not black, 00:36:10.409 --> 00:36:14.269 but when you're dark skinned, dark skinned brown, 00:36:14.510 --> 00:36:22.579 they call you Indio. I recognize a couple names 00:36:22.579 --> 00:36:26.119 on his resume that he's beat, but I think Olaskwaga 00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:29.800 will be able to outbox him. We'll see. Should 00:36:29.800 --> 00:36:32.519 be a fun fight, though. There's going to be 10 00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:37.980 ,000 punches thrown. As smaller fights tend to 00:36:37.980 --> 00:36:44.500 be. That's going to be on Thursday, September 00:36:44.500 --> 00:36:48.750 11th. Never forget. It's going to be on the zone. 00:36:48.809 --> 00:36:53.489 I did forget. That's a weird night to have it. 00:36:54.130 --> 00:37:00.710 Isn't it? I don't know. Is it? I don't think 00:37:00.710 --> 00:37:07.789 so. If we don't continue to have festivities 00:37:07.789 --> 00:37:14.949 and other stuff on the day, then the terrorists 00:37:14.949 --> 00:37:21.969 win. I guess. I don't actually believe that. 00:37:22.130 --> 00:37:25.510 I think it would be better on a Friday than a 00:37:25.510 --> 00:37:29.710 Thursday, though. Absolutely. Fights on a Thursday, 00:37:29.909 --> 00:37:36.329 when it's, I guess, smaller profile stuff, I 00:37:36.329 --> 00:37:40.070 guess. It's a world title fight, though. I was 00:37:40.070 --> 00:37:43.530 going to say, this is a title fight. At the least, 00:37:43.570 --> 00:37:48.780 it should be on a Friday. Yeah, this is for the 00:37:48.780 --> 00:37:56.000 WBO flyweight title. Moving to Saturday, September 00:37:56.000 --> 00:38:00.719 13th, there are two events. First, Matchroom 00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:05.159 at Windsor Park in Belfast, Northern Ireland. 00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:10.659 There's quite a bit of stuff on here, some of 00:38:10.659 --> 00:38:15.300 which I do care about. Some of which I do not. 00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:19.719 Jim Donovan, I believe, is related to Patty Donovan, 00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:22.219 who's in the main event making his debut, so 00:38:22.219 --> 00:38:27.400 that's fun. Molly McCann, she's an MMA chick 00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:32.780 known for her bad attitude, but making a boxing 00:38:32.780 --> 00:38:38.219 debut here. Okay, there are way too many MMA 00:38:38.219 --> 00:38:42.099 girls with alliterative names. Molly McCann, 00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:46.059 Holly Holmes, Ronda Rousey. They sound like comic 00:38:46.059 --> 00:38:50.760 book characters. I didn't stop to think about 00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:54.739 that, but you're absolutely right. It sounds 00:38:54.739 --> 00:39:01.880 like shit Stan Lee made up. Peter Parker. Matt 00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:04.929 Murdock. Bruce Banner. Like, it was a thing that 00:39:04.929 --> 00:39:09.010 Stan Lee wanted them to alliterate. But the UFC 00:39:09.010 --> 00:39:12.769 has so many girls, women with alliterative names, 00:39:12.969 --> 00:39:19.210 it's ridiculous. Well, Molly McCann. Now she's 00:39:19.210 --> 00:39:23.150 a boxing chick. We'll see how long that lasts. 00:39:23.210 --> 00:39:27.389 I guess so is Holly Holmes. Yeah. Moving up the 00:39:27.389 --> 00:39:32.269 bill, Pat Brown is an Olympian. He's having a... 00:39:32.619 --> 00:39:38.980 An eight -rounder. So that's fun. Tyrone McKenna 00:39:38.980 --> 00:39:44.159 versus Dylan Moran at welterweight. Ishmael Davis 00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:52.039 versus, oh God, Kayomin Aguiarco at 154. I've 00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:57.440 seen him a couple times. That should be a closer 00:39:57.440 --> 00:39:59.539 fight than it maybe looks on paper, I think. 00:40:01.179 --> 00:40:10.940 13 and 2, Davis, verse 17 and 0. Agyarko. What 00:40:10.940 --> 00:40:14.079 a fun name. How have I not seen this before? 00:40:14.900 --> 00:40:18.019 Well, and that first name's very Irish, so it's 00:40:18.019 --> 00:40:21.280 probably like Shaman or something. Oh, yeah. 00:40:21.380 --> 00:40:27.139 Yeah, this dude is Irish as fuck. All right. 00:40:27.739 --> 00:40:30.599 Well, he's from Northern Ireland, so he's... 00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:34.360 He reps the Republic. Kind of Irish. He reps 00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:37.980 the Republic. That's fair. I'm just saying. He's 00:40:37.980 --> 00:40:41.980 from Belfast. There's only one Ireland. And it's 00:40:41.980 --> 00:40:48.780 the Republic. He was born in London. But yeah, 00:40:48.940 --> 00:40:51.860 I don't know how you say this Gaelic name, but 00:40:51.860 --> 00:40:59.260 I think it's Shaman. Shaman? Yeah. I'll take 00:40:59.260 --> 00:41:04.210 your word for it. And in the main event, IBF 00:41:04.210 --> 00:41:07.730 welterweight title on the line. It's vacant after 00:41:07.730 --> 00:41:10.849 Jerron Ennis moved up. Lewis Crocker versus Patty 00:41:10.849 --> 00:41:16.489 Donovan 2. Electric Boogaloo. This could get 00:41:16.489 --> 00:41:21.170 dirty. It did the first time. It could get more 00:41:21.170 --> 00:41:24.670 worse. Yeah. Given how it ended. I wonder who 00:41:24.670 --> 00:41:28.449 they have reffing. Do they put up who's the ref? 00:41:28.690 --> 00:41:30.789 I don't think they put that up ahead of time. 00:41:32.840 --> 00:41:38.039 He's gonna have his hands full. That crowd's 00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:43.280 gonna be lit, though. It should be good. Ireland 00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:52.239 versus the UK. Grudge match. In Ireland. Should 00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:58.360 be fun. Is Belfast Ireland? There's only one 00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:05.780 Ireland. I'm just saying, it should be an atmosphere. 00:42:05.900 --> 00:42:12.420 Yeah, absolutely. Oh, man. Speaking of atmospheres, 00:42:12.460 --> 00:42:17.320 in the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, 00:42:17.820 --> 00:42:24.920 TKO making their promotional debut on Netflix. 00:42:28.750 --> 00:42:31.590 There's a bunch of shit on here. Let's start 00:42:31.590 --> 00:42:37.329 from the bottom up. Sultan Al -Muhammad vs. Martin 00:42:37.329 --> 00:42:40.710 Garabayo. Don't know who either of these guys 00:42:40.710 --> 00:42:52.369 are. Marco Alvarez vs. Marcos Osorio. Mark squared? 00:42:52.969 --> 00:42:57.719 Yeah. Reito Tsutsumi versus Javier Martinez. 00:42:58.639 --> 00:43:04.420 That one might be fun. Yeah. Which one's Javier 00:43:04.420 --> 00:43:11.239 Martinez? Is he... 7 -2 guy. I don't think he's 00:43:11.239 --> 00:43:16.039 anybody noteworthy. No. Doesn't look like it. 00:43:18.300 --> 00:43:23.559 And he's on a two -loss slide. That might be 00:43:23.559 --> 00:43:30.500 a walkover job for Raiko. Steven Nelson versus 00:43:30.500 --> 00:43:38.099 Raiko Santana. I wonder... Steven Nelson has 00:43:38.099 --> 00:43:44.440 some fucking dope ring attire. I will never get 00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:50.429 over his sagging jeans. Trunks. those fucking 00:43:50.429 --> 00:43:54.949 underwear hanging out yeah like patterned onto 00:43:54.949 --> 00:43:58.210 the trunk that was that bothered me the entire 00:43:58.210 --> 00:44:04.289 fight yeah me too yeah pull up your fucking pants 00:44:04.289 --> 00:44:09.809 oh wait they are up so weird we were we were 00:44:09.809 --> 00:44:13.230 all sitting in like in a row in our seats and 00:44:13.230 --> 00:44:17.840 i just Nobody was saying anything. They were 00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:19.380 just getting in the ring and like, what's wrong 00:44:19.380 --> 00:44:23.659 with his pants? Why are his pants sagging? And 00:44:23.659 --> 00:44:26.039 we're all looking like, what the fuck? Is he 00:44:26.039 --> 00:44:28.900 sagging his pants in a professional boxing match? 00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:34.480 The illusion was very, very well done. Like whoever 00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:39.719 made those did a super good job. Yeah. And then 00:44:39.719 --> 00:44:43.019 he did the M. Bison when he fought Diego Pacheco. 00:44:44.179 --> 00:44:46.860 So that should be cool. So it should be cool 00:44:46.860 --> 00:44:53.539 what he does next. He should hook up with Mizuki. 00:44:54.739 --> 00:45:03.260 Yeah. Do some collabs. I don't think their styles 00:45:03.260 --> 00:45:08.159 are very similar. Ivan Ditchko versus Jermaine 00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:11.349 Franklin. Have you been wondering where Jermaine 00:45:11.349 --> 00:45:17.429 Franklin is? Well, here he is. Shaking my head. 00:45:18.070 --> 00:45:22.429 I got to narrate. Nobody's been wondering. Right. 00:45:23.329 --> 00:45:29.429 Callum Walsh versus Fernando Vargas Jr. Starting 00:45:29.429 --> 00:45:34.690 to get interesting. This is a decent fight. Decent 00:45:34.690 --> 00:45:37.190 for what it is anyway. These guys are both at 00:45:37.190 --> 00:45:39.940 similar levels. So this should be fun. I got 00:45:39.940 --> 00:45:44.440 to look at pictures before I... Okay, I know 00:45:44.440 --> 00:45:47.820 who these two are. Callum Walsh looks so weird 00:45:47.820 --> 00:45:54.400 in his picture on BoxRec. I don't know why. Yeah, 00:45:54.539 --> 00:45:57.840 I'm kind of excited for this one, actually. Are 00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:04.539 we going to get the UK versus Mexico buff? Maybe. 00:46:06.110 --> 00:46:08.690 I know he's not really from Mexico. No, he's 00:46:08.690 --> 00:46:12.969 not. He's one step removed. So maybe. So does 00:46:12.969 --> 00:46:18.730 the buff apply? I don't think so. Moving up, 00:46:18.750 --> 00:46:22.150 Sergei Bohachuk versus Brandon Adams rematch. 00:46:22.190 --> 00:46:25.110 This was the guy that beat Sergei Bohachuk the 00:46:25.110 --> 00:46:29.369 first time. His first loss was to Brandon Adams. 00:46:30.329 --> 00:46:32.909 I don't think it's going to happen again. No, 00:46:32.949 --> 00:46:35.550 it was a really quick knockout too. That's not 00:46:35.550 --> 00:46:39.869 happening again. Brandon Adams has been quietly 00:46:39.869 --> 00:46:43.309 keeping his career going pretty well. He went 00:46:43.309 --> 00:46:47.309 into the overtime circuit and he's made deep 00:46:47.309 --> 00:46:54.710 runs into their brackets or whatever. He's only 00:46:54.710 --> 00:47:01.809 lost to decent names, I guess. I don't know what 00:47:01.809 --> 00:47:10.980 you think of Katsarakis. He's okay. I guess those 00:47:10.980 --> 00:47:14.320 first two losses a long time ago were not great, 00:47:14.420 --> 00:47:17.599 but recently he's only lost a decent name. Willie 00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:22.619 Monroe Jr. is not a terrible loss. Apollo Thompson, 00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:25.179 I don't know who that is, so I can't really say, 00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:27.639 but it was an early stoppage, so that's not good. 00:47:29.480 --> 00:47:32.820 And then he lost to Charlo. Yeah, he went 12 00:47:32.820 --> 00:47:39.579 with Charlo, which was... Sad on Charlo's side. 00:47:42.260 --> 00:47:45.019 This should be a good fight, though. I can't 00:47:45.019 --> 00:47:52.000 see Sergey getting stopped early this time. Christian 00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:57.300 Mbili versus Lester Martinez. Interim WBC title. 00:47:57.480 --> 00:48:00.000 Super middleweight title will be on the line 00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:06.250 here. Lester has been cutting his teeth. On Probox. 00:48:07.369 --> 00:48:09.769 So he's been getting good matchups and he's been 00:48:09.769 --> 00:48:16.269 making fucking easy work of it. So this is a 00:48:16.269 --> 00:48:19.369 big step up for Lester. This is a pretty decent 00:48:19.369 --> 00:48:21.909 step up in competition for Christian Mbili as 00:48:21.909 --> 00:48:27.050 well. Mbili's been knocking over cans. He has 00:48:27.050 --> 00:48:32.349 been. So it's hard for me to guess where Mbili's 00:48:32.349 --> 00:48:38.150 at. We're about to find out. I should be good. 00:48:38.329 --> 00:48:41.369 I'm not going to lie. I'm probably going to back 00:48:41.369 --> 00:48:45.329 Martinez. I like a good underdog story. He's 00:48:45.329 --> 00:48:54.309 been on Pro Box. Yeah. Oh, boy. Main event. Undisputed 00:48:54.309 --> 00:48:59.150 super middleweight title on the line. Canelo 00:48:59.150 --> 00:49:03.570 versus Crawford. This is going to be boring as 00:49:03.570 --> 00:49:10.849 fuck. I'm keeping my expectations low. Yeah. 00:49:12.329 --> 00:49:15.590 I don't know. I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. 00:49:16.070 --> 00:49:19.969 Same. I think it's going to be Crawford being 00:49:19.969 --> 00:49:23.170 a little cautious because Canelo still has power 00:49:23.170 --> 00:49:28.429 and not being able to hurt Canelo, really. So 00:49:28.429 --> 00:49:30.590 I think it's going to be Canelo prod... plotting 00:49:30.590 --> 00:49:34.230 and Crawford pot shotting. And it's going to 00:49:34.230 --> 00:49:40.570 be high skill, low action, which is not my favorite. 00:49:40.610 --> 00:49:45.269 It's not, that's boring as shit. Yeah. I mean, 00:49:45.289 --> 00:49:49.250 if that's your thing. Yeah. I, you want to be 00:49:49.250 --> 00:49:52.050 one of those like snobby hardcore fans. That's 00:49:52.050 --> 00:49:54.110 like, Oh, you just don't appreciate the sweet 00:49:54.110 --> 00:49:58.409 science. I understand perfectly what I'm looking 00:49:58.409 --> 00:50:01.210 at. That does not mean I have to be entertained 00:50:01.210 --> 00:50:06.050 by it. Exactly. I get this bullshit all the time. 00:50:06.090 --> 00:50:07.750 People are like, you just don't like the sweet 00:50:07.750 --> 00:50:09.730 science. I'm like, no. I like to watch people 00:50:09.730 --> 00:50:12.010 beat the fuck out of each other. That's what 00:50:12.010 --> 00:50:21.050 I like. I like violence. But it should be high 00:50:21.050 --> 00:50:24.530 skill. If that's your thing, you'll enjoy it. 00:50:24.909 --> 00:50:27.909 For the casual audience that's been hearing this 00:50:27.909 --> 00:50:30.429 is... the super fight of the century and shit, 00:50:30.590 --> 00:50:34.230 the casuals are going to be disappointed. I think. 00:50:37.070 --> 00:50:40.389 I want to try to offer like a counter opinion, 00:50:40.550 --> 00:50:44.949 but I don't really have one because I'm not really 00:50:44.949 --> 00:50:46.909 looking forward to this. I'm looking forward 00:50:46.909 --> 00:50:49.150 to the rest of the card. There's, there's some 00:50:49.150 --> 00:50:52.289 decent fights on here. I think they have stacked 00:50:52.289 --> 00:50:55.449 like those just before the main event fights 00:50:55.449 --> 00:50:58.610 with good action fights to make up for it. Yeah. 00:50:59.909 --> 00:51:04.869 Like, I think they've finally started realizing 00:51:04.869 --> 00:51:09.469 that you kind of have to build a whole card. 00:51:10.130 --> 00:51:13.349 You can't expect Canelo to just carry the whole 00:51:13.349 --> 00:51:18.369 thing. Well, and you can't just expect the high 00:51:18.369 --> 00:51:21.570 -skilled guys to be exciting. I don't know how 00:51:21.570 --> 00:51:24.030 else to put it. You have to understand what your 00:51:24.030 --> 00:51:27.309 fighters are most likely to do and make a card 00:51:27.309 --> 00:51:32.929 that has some of both. Balance. Yeah, like that 00:51:32.929 --> 00:51:36.349 Times Square card was garbage because it was 00:51:36.349 --> 00:51:41.329 all super high skill guys. There was no stand 00:51:41.329 --> 00:51:45.530 and bang guys on that card. Yeah, the most exciting... 00:51:45.530 --> 00:51:49.110 Well, I guess Brian Garcia would have been... 00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:54.619 The stand and bang guy. Yeah, I was going to 00:51:54.619 --> 00:51:57.079 say the most exciting thing was Teofimo showboating. 00:51:58.900 --> 00:52:01.360 Yeah, but he's a skill guy. Exactly. When he's 00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:08.119 not being stupid. So... Anyways, I think they've 00:52:08.119 --> 00:52:11.960 balanced this card at least. That is the best 00:52:11.960 --> 00:52:16.179 part of it for me. Yeah. I am excited for the 00:52:16.179 --> 00:52:18.519 card. The main event, though, I expect to... 00:52:18.920 --> 00:52:24.800 watch and be like fucking do something Terrence 00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:27.780 Crawford can figure something out I'm gonna say 00:52:27.780 --> 00:52:34.480 he'll do it around rounds five to seven and if 00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:36.840 he can figure something out I think he'll push 00:52:36.840 --> 00:52:43.639 the offense just cause he has the skill to hit 00:52:43.639 --> 00:52:49.989 and not get hit yeah We'll see. I hope so. But 00:52:49.989 --> 00:52:54.190 I'm just expecting it to be Crawford pot -shotting 00:52:54.190 --> 00:52:57.110 from the outside, Canelo not really being able 00:52:57.110 --> 00:53:00.050 to catch him, and Crawford not really hurting 00:53:00.050 --> 00:53:02.409 Canelo, because Canelo's got an all -time chin. 00:53:02.969 --> 00:53:07.750 And he's pulling up a guy from two divisions 00:53:07.750 --> 00:53:12.929 below. Yeah. Well, and Crawford's power didn't 00:53:12.929 --> 00:53:18.219 seem to carry super well. To 54. Yeah. Yeah. 00:53:18.739 --> 00:53:25.280 And he's going up again? Yep. We'll see. I would 00:53:25.280 --> 00:53:29.519 like to be wrong. Well, if you, beloved listener, 00:53:29.679 --> 00:53:33.059 want to join in the fun in Discord, for big fights 00:53:33.059 --> 00:53:36.420 like this, we do competing roles. So it's just 00:53:36.420 --> 00:53:39.119 pick your team. Are you Team Canelo, Team Crawford? 00:53:39.480 --> 00:53:43.639 And you get a color based on whatever team you're 00:53:43.639 --> 00:53:47.369 on. And then we just shit talk each other relentlessly. 00:53:47.510 --> 00:53:51.070 And that's pretty much all there is to it. But 00:53:51.070 --> 00:53:54.530 it's fun. It's pretty fun. And if I'm wrong, 00:53:54.550 --> 00:53:57.309 they can call in and shit talk me on the podcast. 00:53:57.909 --> 00:54:00.170 Absolutely. I would love for you to call. If 00:54:00.170 --> 00:54:04.909 I'm wrong, please call and rub it in. 833 -LUX 00:54:04.909 --> 00:54:09.389 -PODS. Anything more for the Canelo Crawford? 00:54:11.110 --> 00:54:18.090 No. All right. Moving to Sunday. I have it. I 00:54:18.090 --> 00:54:21.789 wrote down Sunday, Sunday 14th. Sunday, September 00:54:21.789 --> 00:54:28.929 14th. This one is in Nagoya, Japan. There's a 00:54:28.929 --> 00:54:31.969 lot of stuff on here that I don't really know. 00:54:34.190 --> 00:54:37.849 There's not very many big names. Yeah, the co 00:54:37.849 --> 00:54:43.230 -main is okay. Yoshiki Takei. versus Christian 00:54:43.230 --> 00:54:50.510 Medina for the WBO Bantamweight title. But the 00:54:50.510 --> 00:54:54.610 reason we're here, Naoya Inoue versus Murojan 00:54:54.610 --> 00:55:00.989 Akhmadaliev, aka MJ, for the Undisputed 122 Championship. 00:55:02.349 --> 00:55:07.530 I am expecting Inoue to get a knockout in those 00:55:07.530 --> 00:55:11.449 mid -to -late rounds. Like... I'm going to call 00:55:11.449 --> 00:55:19.429 eight, I think. For thirds, I'd go back third. 00:55:21.210 --> 00:55:29.969 For quarters, mid -late. Yep. Yeah. I don't know. 00:55:29.989 --> 00:55:34.750 I don't think MJ's going to have anything super 00:55:34.750 --> 00:55:42.699 surprising. He's a lefty. Yeah. I don't know. 00:55:42.800 --> 00:55:51.440 And he's stablemates with Cardenas, who did have 00:55:51.440 --> 00:55:55.260 that big knockdown over Inouye. He should have 00:55:55.260 --> 00:55:58.300 a good game plan, I think. Absolutely. I'm really 00:55:58.300 --> 00:56:04.900 hoping Inouye comes in more awake than he has 00:56:04.900 --> 00:56:07.730 the last couple. You don't need to get knocked 00:56:07.730 --> 00:56:11.590 down before you start taking it serious. It would 00:56:11.590 --> 00:56:15.389 be good if you didn't. It would be nice. Yeah, 00:56:15.489 --> 00:56:22.230 I would be happier. One day. MJ could knock him 00:56:22.230 --> 00:56:25.090 down. It could happen. Yeah, it's not out of 00:56:25.090 --> 00:56:28.889 the... It wouldn't be too... It would be shocking, 00:56:29.110 --> 00:56:36.559 but not surprising. Yeah. One day. naoya's gonna 00:56:36.559 --> 00:56:39.579 on like his retirement little press conference 00:56:39.579 --> 00:56:43.280 he's gonna say i got knocked down every fight 00:56:43.280 --> 00:56:47.699 because nobody would fight me if i didn't if 00:56:47.699 --> 00:56:50.860 i didn't go down if i didn't look human nobody 00:56:50.860 --> 00:56:53.760 would fight me yeah yeah it's all part of the 00:56:53.760 --> 00:56:58.440 strategy yep the whole time i was just uh just 00:56:58.440 --> 00:57:05.920 trying to make the monster look human yeah Totally. 00:57:06.159 --> 00:57:08.400 I would prefer if that was not the strategy. 00:57:08.840 --> 00:57:12.539 Yeah, well, they got Picasso into the ring, finally. 00:57:12.960 --> 00:57:17.739 Oh, yeah. Yeah, great. So excited for that. Because 00:57:17.739 --> 00:57:28.480 Picasso was such a threat. So stupid. I booked 00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:33.179 my seat at the bar to watch this one, so I'm 00:57:33.179 --> 00:57:35.190 going to go into Tokyo. Should be fun. Yeah. 00:57:36.710 --> 00:57:39.409 Are you going to go for the Canelo Crawford? 00:57:40.269 --> 00:57:43.510 It starts at 10 a .m., and it takes me an hour 00:57:43.510 --> 00:57:45.550 and a half to get there. I don't know if I want 00:57:45.550 --> 00:57:47.670 to wake up early enough to be on the train at 00:57:47.670 --> 00:57:54.309 8 .30. The whole card starts at 10? No, I think 00:57:54.309 --> 00:57:56.869 the fight starts at 10. The bar opens at 10. 00:57:57.389 --> 00:58:01.070 Okay. wherever that wherever they're at on the 00:58:01.070 --> 00:58:04.690 card at that point is yeah yeah because the the 00:58:04.690 --> 00:58:07.929 guy who runs it that bar he's the boxing fan 00:58:07.929 --> 00:58:11.909 like the guy who owns it so if he opens early 00:58:11.909 --> 00:58:13.989 for these things then he's just there all day 00:58:13.989 --> 00:58:17.630 so he's gonna work from 10 a .m to the end of 00:58:17.630 --> 00:58:22.070 the the in a way fight oh that's a long day yeah 00:58:22.070 --> 00:58:25.250 so makes sense they also don't really have food 00:58:25.250 --> 00:58:28.489 at that bar So I don't think I'm... I want to 00:58:28.489 --> 00:58:34.030 eat and stuff before I go. At a bar, when I was 00:58:34.030 --> 00:58:38.170 in Korea, the regular bar that all of the Americans, 00:58:38.369 --> 00:58:41.429 all the GIs went to, they would always order 00:58:41.429 --> 00:58:47.449 stuff for you. Just because... Well, he has some 00:58:47.449 --> 00:58:52.869 food, but it's not good. Oh. So I don't feel 00:58:52.869 --> 00:58:57.280 like I can order food in. but I don't want to 00:58:57.280 --> 00:58:59.940 eat there. Yeah, okay, that makes more sense. 00:59:00.639 --> 00:59:03.559 So, I just didn't want to say that. It's not 00:59:03.559 --> 00:59:06.559 terrible, it's just not very good for the price. 00:59:12.619 --> 00:59:15.039 I was trying not to shit -talk my favorite bar. 00:59:15.360 --> 00:59:23.079 Yeah, well, lean into it, and just do the order 00:59:23.079 --> 00:59:27.159 -ins for... Order in for people? Just for everybody. 00:59:27.460 --> 00:59:29.800 For whoever needs it, like whoever can't order 00:59:29.800 --> 00:59:37.019 it themselves. I eat with the foreigners. I can 00:59:37.019 --> 00:59:39.260 order food there. It's just not very good food. 00:59:40.400 --> 00:59:50.940 Yeah. Well, that's all we got. Let me make a 00:59:50.940 --> 00:59:54.980 noise. Pop quiz, hotshot. What's tiny, fuzzy, 00:59:55.099 --> 00:59:57.639 and responsible for a large portion of the food 00:59:57.639 --> 01:00:00.320 we eat? If you guessed bees, well, you nailed 01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:03.400 it. Seriously, one out of every three bites on 01:00:03.400 --> 01:00:06.159 your plate depends on bees. So there's a bit 01:00:06.159 --> 01:00:08.659 of bad news here. These little heroes of our 01:00:08.659 --> 01:00:11.780 gardens and dinners are struggling. Between habitat 01:00:11.780 --> 01:00:15.800 loss, climate change, and pesticides, it's a 01:00:15.800 --> 01:00:18.340 fucking bummer.

Some pretty good 01:01:15.340 --> 01:01:19.460 stuff on it. Canelo Crawford. Inouye versus MJ. 01:01:20.739 --> 01:01:29.880 Parting words. Parting words. I did not think 01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:35.460 of parting words for this week. Oh, nobody else 01:01:35.460 --> 01:01:38.260 in the world fucking cares, but the Saskatchewan 01:01:38.260 --> 01:01:42.079 Rough Riders won the 60th Labor Day Classic at 01:01:42.079 --> 01:01:46.239 home. And the next weekend, we always go to Winnipeg. 01:01:47.260 --> 01:01:51.699 for the Banjo Bowl is what we call it. So everybody 01:01:51.699 --> 01:01:55.139 should watch the Banjo Bowl this weekend somehow. 01:01:56.179 --> 01:02:02.019 It's really fun. The Riders fans wear watermelons 01:02:02.019 --> 01:02:05.079 on their heads. The Blue Bombers fans have sex 01:02:05.079 --> 01:02:10.960 with their cousins, you know. That's why it's 01:02:10.960 --> 01:02:13.659 called the Banjo Bowl. They play this song from 01:02:13.659 --> 01:02:22.289 Deliverance. Yeah. The dueling banjos. Let's 01:02:22.289 --> 01:02:25.570 see. I got this one from Oscar Wilde. Life is 01:02:25.570 --> 01:02:28.710 far too important a thing ever to talk seriously 01:02:28.710 --> 01:02:33.449 about. It's very good, Oscar. I can get behind 01:02:33.449 --> 01:02:37.309 that. It's very good, Oscar. Well done. Oscar 01:02:37.309 --> 01:02:43.250 Wilde is one of the craziest stories. Yeah. Every 01:02:43.250 --> 01:02:48.260 story I hear about him is madness. He definitely 01:02:48.260 --> 01:02:51.440 followed that advice and did not take it too 01:02:51.440 --> 01:02:56.760 seriously. Man, that's it for this edition of 01:02:56.760 --> 01:02:59.619 Boxing Before Dark. My battery is getting low. 01:03:01.239 --> 01:03:05.340 And it is getting dark.
