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 --> 00:00:11.300
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 --> 00:00:27.100
is Boxing Before Dark. Pop all the shit. Popping

00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:30.179
shits. Popping shits. It's Boxing Before Dark,

00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:35.380
where shit gets popped. That's actually a decent

00:00:35.380 --> 00:00:38.979
tagline. Yeah, where shit gets popped. Shanada,

00:00:39.060 --> 00:00:42.979
how are you doing? I'm good. It's Sunday for

00:00:42.979 --> 00:00:44.920
you, right? I did not sleep enough. Yeah, it's

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:47.359
Sunday for me. I did not sleep enough last night.

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.359
I was reading comics and noticed it was 3 a .m.

00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:55.320
So it is now 9 a .m. Yeah, I kind of fucked up.

00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:01.310
It do be like that sometimes. It do. It do. So

00:01:01.310 --> 00:01:03.530
something unrelated that I wanted to bring up

00:01:03.530 --> 00:01:06.129
because I thought it was cool. One of the Miss

00:01:06.129 --> 00:01:10.310
World contestants for Chile is a death metal

00:01:10.310 --> 00:01:13.230
vocalist. I'm going to play it really quickly

00:01:13.230 --> 00:01:39.510
for the audio. Yeah, so imagine, you know, it's

00:01:39.510 --> 00:01:41.569
a Miss World contestant, so this is a very good

00:01:41.569 --> 00:01:49.670
-looking woman. Wow. Yeah, it's pretty fun. I

00:01:49.670 --> 00:01:53.269
think this is for Miss Chile, though. Miss World

00:01:53.269 --> 00:01:58.730
of Chile. Yeah, the winner will be Miss Chile,

00:01:58.829 --> 00:02:02.189
and yeah. Yes, and go on to compete in Miss World.

00:02:03.370 --> 00:02:08.189
I hope she does well. Yeah, I mean, if that's

00:02:08.189 --> 00:02:11.150
what you're bringing to the talent competition,

00:02:11.569 --> 00:02:16.050
then you gotta get some extra points for that.

00:02:16.150 --> 00:02:18.370
Because that's really fucking cool. And unexpected.

00:02:18.370 --> 00:02:21.990
Yeah, for the fun creativity and juxtaposition.

00:02:22.270 --> 00:02:25.870
I do like it. Her outfit's very nice for the

00:02:25.870 --> 00:02:29.849
talent as well. She's wearing a very nice ballroom

00:02:29.849 --> 00:02:34.009
dress. Yeah, kind of Morticia vibe. Not really,

00:02:34.189 --> 00:02:39.330
but kind of. Yeah, kind of. I can see that. Oh,

00:02:39.349 --> 00:02:44.129
man. Let's get into the shit here. Tank and Jake

00:02:44.129 --> 00:02:47.930
Paul is officially cancelled. To the surprise

00:02:47.930 --> 00:02:53.949
of no one. I still... I guess it's just PR vibes.

00:02:54.389 --> 00:02:59.669
But, like, Netflix shouldn't be surprised. Like,

00:02:59.669 --> 00:03:02.250
if this was a problem, they shouldn't have signed

00:03:02.250 --> 00:03:10.069
Tank. It's still weird because this is something

00:03:10.069 --> 00:03:12.150
that happened, as we talked about it before,

00:03:12.370 --> 00:03:14.469
it was something that happened over the course

00:03:14.469 --> 00:03:18.810
of several months. Well, the actual incidents

00:03:18.810 --> 00:03:22.949
were months ago. Right. And it's a civil case,

00:03:23.150 --> 00:03:25.610
so like I said, it's not like he's going to jail

00:03:25.610 --> 00:03:32.680
or anything. Yeah. So, I mean... I think Netflix

00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.680
probably was, and Jake Paul or whoever, was having

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.219
trouble dealing with Tank anyways and kind of

00:03:38.219 --> 00:03:42.379
used this as a ripcord. Yeah, I mean, it makes

00:03:42.379 --> 00:03:46.539
sense. Based on what Jake Paul said, that Tank

00:03:46.539 --> 00:03:50.259
was a fucking diva, really difficult to deal

00:03:50.259 --> 00:03:53.939
with. I mean, he comes across like that. Yeah,

00:03:53.960 --> 00:04:00.360
no surprise. Have they officially announced?

00:04:00.939 --> 00:04:04.759
Who's replacing him? Not that I've seen. There

00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.360
have been a lot of names floated, like Edgar

00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:16.279
Berlanga got floated. I heard Tommy Fury 2 is

00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.740
what's happening, but I don't know if that's

00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:22.980
official or not. That would be cool. It would

00:04:22.980 --> 00:04:28.500
be cool to see that. See an official, a legitimate

00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:35.990
fight. Yeah, I don't think anybody... Well, I

00:04:35.990 --> 00:04:38.050
don't care about Jake Paul, so I guess I can't

00:04:38.050 --> 00:04:40.089
talk. I was going to say, I don't think anybody

00:04:40.089 --> 00:04:42.610
really wants to see that rematch, but I guess

00:04:42.610 --> 00:04:47.329
Jake Paul did lose it. The first one. And he

00:04:47.329 --> 00:04:51.050
could, you know, revenge his loss. I can see

00:04:51.050 --> 00:04:56.230
a storyline there. Whatever keeps Jake Paul in

00:04:56.230 --> 00:04:59.790
the promoter... Whatever gives him power to continue

00:04:59.790 --> 00:05:06.100
promoting is... I'm cool with that. Yeah, I've

00:05:06.100 --> 00:05:09.019
said it before. I do not give a shit about Jake

00:05:09.019 --> 00:05:13.759
Paul fights. Yeah. I really don't either. I like

00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:19.000
to act like it for the memes, but do I really

00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.819
care? Nah, not that much. I have come around

00:05:23.819 --> 00:05:27.100
on him being in boxing as a promoter, but...

00:05:29.870 --> 00:05:32.810
Tell you a fight that I do care about. Emmanuel

00:05:32.810 --> 00:05:37.970
Navarrete versus Eduardo Nunez. Unifying their

00:05:37.970 --> 00:05:43.430
WBO and IBF titles. February 28th in Phoenix.

00:05:44.930 --> 00:05:47.949
Nice. I'm excited for that because I'm fucking

00:05:47.949 --> 00:05:52.509
going. You can't stop me. You got to get a ticket

00:05:52.509 --> 00:05:54.910
for that one. That's going to be fun. Yeah, absolutely.

00:05:55.329 --> 00:05:57.730
And I'm sure they'll do... The undercard will

00:05:57.730 --> 00:06:02.529
be fine. I'm hoping to see Emiliano Vargas live.

00:06:03.350 --> 00:06:06.009
That would be cool, yeah. And it would make sense

00:06:06.009 --> 00:06:12.529
to put him on there. But I hope Charlie Suarez

00:06:12.529 --> 00:06:18.089
got some cash for that. Yeah, since he was the

00:06:18.089 --> 00:06:22.089
official banditory challenger, I'm sure they

00:06:22.089 --> 00:06:28.269
gave him something nice to stand aside. He also

00:06:28.269 --> 00:06:31.509
just kind of deserves the rematch. Right. To

00:06:31.509 --> 00:06:35.930
be honest. He does. Would not be surprising if

00:06:35.930 --> 00:06:41.029
he gets the first crack at whoever wins. Yeah,

00:06:41.089 --> 00:06:43.889
I guess that would be a good consolation for

00:06:43.889 --> 00:06:49.730
missing out. Missing the shot at the one title

00:06:49.730 --> 00:06:54.660
to get a crack at two. It's a decent deal. It's

00:06:54.660 --> 00:06:59.579
not a bad deal. And who's the fighter who always...

00:06:59.579 --> 00:07:03.680
I can't remember who said it, but someone's like,

00:07:03.740 --> 00:07:07.879
I fucking love getting paid to not work. That

00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:09.500
sounds like something David Allen would say.

00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.420
Yeah, probably. But I don't think it was him.

00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.319
I don't think he ever got step -aside money.

00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.500
But... It was somebody, they asked him if he

00:07:19.500 --> 00:07:21.740
was upset about the step aside, and he was like,

00:07:21.779 --> 00:07:24.139
man, I just made hundreds of thousands of dollars

00:07:24.139 --> 00:07:29.680
to not do shit. Can't go wrong. Sounds pretty

00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:33.339
awesome. If somebody paid me $100 ,000 to not

00:07:33.339 --> 00:07:37.660
do my job, I would be so happy. Yeah. Oh, was

00:07:37.660 --> 00:07:39.920
that somebody else wants to do it? All right.

00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:48.939
This is also why I'm not a boxer, though. Teofimo

00:07:48.939 --> 00:07:53.660
versus Shakur. All but certain for January in

00:07:53.660 --> 00:08:02.180
New York. This sounds pretty damn cool. I don't

00:08:02.180 --> 00:08:05.540
know. Does it sound like a good fight? It does

00:08:05.540 --> 00:08:09.879
to me. Okay. I don't know. Shakur is so boring.

00:08:11.060 --> 00:08:16.300
If Teofimo can make it not boring. Or if Shakur

00:08:16.300 --> 00:08:19.579
decides to be not boring like he was with Zepeda,

00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:24.019
it'll be great. I'm thinking it'll be more Teofimo.

00:08:24.019 --> 00:08:26.120
If Shakur decides to rigandow it. No, I don't...

00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.459
Even if he does decide to rigandow it, I think

00:08:29.459 --> 00:08:34.539
Teofimo can make it exciting. Maybe. I have so

00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:41.480
little faith in Teo anymore. Yeah. I... I don't

00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:46.259
know. I do. I still want to believe. The fucking

00:08:46.259 --> 00:08:48.779
bipolar rock and roller can make some shit happen.

00:08:49.259 --> 00:08:54.220
I mean, he can. I believe he absolutely could.

00:08:54.500 --> 00:08:58.820
I just don't know if I believe he will. I see

00:08:58.820 --> 00:09:02.700
the disconnect there. But maybe I'm just being

00:09:02.700 --> 00:09:11.840
pessimistic. Are you pessimistic about Terrence

00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.279
Crawford promoting? It's basically going to be

00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:19.820
what it's going to be. All of his, all of his

00:09:19.820 --> 00:09:25.879
kids on Terrence Crawford promotions. So we're

00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:32.220
really what you can expect. Yeah. I don't know

00:09:32.220 --> 00:09:36.320
if Crawford has the personality to promote. He's

00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:43.200
not flashy enough. Like, the boxers, well, the

00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.679
only one I can think of that really got big promoting

00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:52.080
afterwards is De La Hoya. But, like, I don't

00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:55.399
know. I think Crawford's very smart, but I don't

00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:58.720
know if he has the flashy personality to promote

00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.279
people. He didn't even promote himself very good

00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:08.110
during his career. That's a good point. I'm just

00:10:08.110 --> 00:10:12.669
in a bad mood today. But like, I don't know.

00:10:13.450 --> 00:10:16.149
Well, I just, he's not going to be a mouthpiece,

00:10:16.210 --> 00:10:19.909
but there are some promoters that aren't. Yeah.

00:10:20.730 --> 00:10:23.789
There's some promoters that aren't, but they

00:10:23.789 --> 00:10:28.809
tend to be like connected old white men. I don't

00:10:28.809 --> 00:10:33.090
know. Crawford's huge. So maybe that's, but Mayweather

00:10:33.090 --> 00:10:36.649
couldn't make it happen. Not really. Mayweather

00:10:36.649 --> 00:10:40.909
hasn't become a big promoter. No, his best fighter

00:10:40.909 --> 00:10:45.549
left. That was really it. Because he wasn't doing

00:10:45.549 --> 00:10:50.169
enough for him. Mayweather is a better talker

00:10:50.169 --> 00:10:57.509
than Crawford. True. I don't know. I just want

00:10:57.509 --> 00:11:02.700
to see Crawford fight more often. I know he's

00:11:02.700 --> 00:11:05.559
lining up his career after he can't box anymore.

00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.639
Like Crawford's made so much fucking money. Sometimes

00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:14.259
I think boxers should just retire and be retired.

00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:17.379
There was some chatter that he was thinking about

00:11:17.379 --> 00:11:21.539
going back to 160 and fighting the winner of

00:11:21.539 --> 00:11:27.639
Johnny Beck versus Lara. But I saw that got shut

00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:33.460
down for him. opting to promote instead in the

00:11:33.460 --> 00:11:38.460
same time frame yeah i just i don't know jesus

00:11:38.460 --> 00:11:43.759
christ i'm losing my voice here um i wish crawford

00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.440
would just fight more and wait to promote later

00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:50.899
if he's gonna fight more than fight more if not

00:11:50.899 --> 00:11:54.419
then go ahead and get back get to promoting if

00:11:54.419 --> 00:11:59.019
that's what you want to do but like in no no

00:11:59.019 --> 00:12:04.320
teasing of potentially continuing to fight. Yeah,

00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:08.000
like, I don't think he can do both. Right, I

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:11.279
don't think so either. And personally, I don't

00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.580
think he has the personality to be a promoter.

00:12:14.860 --> 00:12:18.279
But, we'll see. Maybe he'll prove me wrong. I

00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:24.759
kind of hope he does, but... Like, I just can't

00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:27.679
think of very many boxers that went on to be

00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:32.980
good promoters. Even Oscar De La Hoya is a stretch.

00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:37.500
He's been the most successful at it. He has,

00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:44.919
yes. I mean, as we're talking, his card is going

00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:50.580
down right now. Yeah, like, you have to say that

00:12:50.580 --> 00:12:54.100
De La Hoya's been reasonably successful as a

00:12:54.100 --> 00:12:57.299
promoter. Oh, for sure. He absolutely has been.

00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:00.419
But he's not the best promoter out there. No,

00:13:00.419 --> 00:13:04.899
he's not. He's not even in the A -tier conversation.

00:13:06.500 --> 00:13:10.519
I'd say he's B -tier, though. Yeah, that's absolutely

00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:16.700
fair. The matchroom and the Brits, I think, right

00:13:16.700 --> 00:13:20.840
now are the best promoters of who's available.

00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:24.379
Top Rank has fallen off. Golden Boy has fallen

00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:28.789
off. There's not a whole lot. Yeah, Matchroom

00:13:28.789 --> 00:13:31.190
and Queensberry are really kind of running things

00:13:31.190 --> 00:13:39.250
right now. Yeah. Much to my chagrin. Hate having

00:13:39.250 --> 00:13:43.990
to give props to Brits. Something like, I gotta

00:13:43.990 --> 00:13:49.330
learn how to do it. At least for survival. Survival

00:13:49.330 --> 00:13:52.570
mode. Oh, yeah, yeah. You haven't talked about

00:13:52.570 --> 00:13:55.269
that on the podcast yet. I have not. We'll get

00:13:55.269 --> 00:13:59.110
to it at the end. Xander Zayas versus Abbas Baru

00:13:59.110 --> 00:14:06.230
is all but certain for January 31st. So this

00:14:06.230 --> 00:14:12.269
is a unification of the WBA and WBO and WBA titles.

00:14:13.990 --> 00:14:20.409
I mean, it makes sense. Zayas is the one that

00:14:20.409 --> 00:14:25.129
they want to be big and Baru's the easy. Weakest

00:14:25.129 --> 00:14:29.549
other belt, yeah. Yep. I kind of hope Beru pulls

00:14:29.549 --> 00:14:32.610
it off and upsets Zaius though. I fucking love

00:14:32.610 --> 00:14:36.870
it. That would just be too goddamn funny. I just...

00:14:36.870 --> 00:14:40.990
Zaius is... I don't think he's all that good.

00:14:41.350 --> 00:14:45.549
I don't either. I'm not sold. Even though he

00:14:45.549 --> 00:14:47.830
has a belt now, he kind of got it on easy mode.

00:14:48.990 --> 00:14:53.529
Because, who was it? Fundora had that title.

00:14:54.320 --> 00:15:00.399
And chose to give it up. Yeah. So, you know,

00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:05.299
shoulder shrug. Well, and like, Zaius is really

00:15:05.299 --> 00:15:10.440
young. He could get better. But now that he's

00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:13.679
got a title, he can't really go backwards. You

00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:16.820
know? That's the problem with kind of rushing

00:15:16.820 --> 00:15:21.259
people. Yeah, he doesn't have the luxury anymore.

00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:25.000
Now that he's a title holder, you can't... At

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:28.639
this point and this point going forward, you

00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:30.759
don't have the luxury of taking backward steps.

00:15:32.820 --> 00:15:37.519
And Abbas Baru kind of gets a little bit of a

00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.179
pass because he's a title holder. But this is

00:15:41.179 --> 00:15:44.240
a bit of a backward step or a lateral step at

00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:50.019
best. But he has a title, so you can't say he's

00:15:50.019 --> 00:15:55.799
a nobody. Right. Right? Right. But. Because where

00:15:55.799 --> 00:16:01.100
is Beru from? He's German. Yeah. I would just

00:16:01.100 --> 00:16:05.559
love to see him upset Zaius in New York. I think

00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:09.460
that would be fucking great. This random ass

00:16:09.460 --> 00:16:16.000
German dude. Yeah. The Puerto Rican... I don't

00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:19.059
want to say star, but... What do they call them?

00:16:19.500 --> 00:16:26.990
New Yoricans? New Yoricans, yeah. Yeah. Yeah,

00:16:27.070 --> 00:16:31.529
I would love to see it, but probably won't happen.

00:16:31.690 --> 00:16:34.610
Would be great if it did. It would be too goddamn

00:16:34.610 --> 00:16:39.909
funny. This random German becoming unified champion.

00:16:41.330 --> 00:16:47.669
Yeah, and who does he call out after that? Does

00:16:47.669 --> 00:16:51.769
he say, I want to fight Sebastian Fedora? I mean,

00:16:51.769 --> 00:16:55.080
he kind of has to call out. Who else has... Is

00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:57.779
it just Pandora that has belts? Bakra and Murtazali.

00:16:57.940 --> 00:17:00.940
Those are the only two people he can really call

00:17:00.940 --> 00:17:06.000
out. Oh, that's a hard... He loses to either

00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:11.940
of them. Yeah. Um... Murta probably hurts less.

00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:25.559
A less damaging outing? Yeah. Interesting move.

00:17:25.819 --> 00:17:30.140
AJ is bringing Usyk into his camp. Into his training

00:17:30.140 --> 00:17:33.200
camp. Do you think this is a good or a bad idea?

00:17:36.019 --> 00:17:43.559
I think AJ changes stuff too often. AJ is constantly

00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:48.299
changing trainers. I think he complicates things.

00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:54.650
He tries to do too much. I think Usyk would be

00:17:54.650 --> 00:17:58.549
fun to train with. But, like, AJ's not gonna

00:17:58.549 --> 00:18:04.069
replicate Usyk's style. Especially not at fuckin'

00:18:04.190 --> 00:18:09.869
old band age. Mid -thirties? Yeah. I don't know.

00:18:10.069 --> 00:18:15.670
It's good for publicity. AJ might be able to

00:18:15.670 --> 00:18:19.329
be a good promoter. Tying things backwards, but...

00:18:19.329 --> 00:18:26.819
I can see AJ doing okay. At least as the figurehead.

00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:28.940
He'd need people who knew what they were doing

00:18:28.940 --> 00:18:38.180
around him. Yeah. I think you put it really well

00:18:38.180 --> 00:18:42.380
with saying AJ tries to do too much. He tries

00:18:42.380 --> 00:18:47.180
to do too many different things just because

00:18:47.180 --> 00:18:53.480
he's had recent difficulties with success. So

00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:57.599
now he's trying to bring in his nemesis into

00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:02.420
camp. I guess it kind of depends the capacity

00:19:02.420 --> 00:19:07.359
that you're bringing him in. But yeah, even after

00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:13.200
it was, what was it? Andy Ruiz 2, where he was

00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:18.279
really boxed behind a jab. He was really mobile.

00:19:21.930 --> 00:19:24.630
I can kind of see how you might want to take

00:19:24.630 --> 00:19:29.089
that direction to another level. That's what

00:19:29.089 --> 00:19:32.210
that gets older. That gets harder when you're

00:19:32.210 --> 00:19:35.869
older. Right. And I was going to say Usyk is

00:19:35.869 --> 00:19:39.930
if somebody can teach you how to age that properly,

00:19:40.250 --> 00:19:47.250
it would be him. That's true. I don't know. I

00:19:47.250 --> 00:19:49.890
just think AJ tries to change everything all

00:19:49.890 --> 00:19:54.559
the time. Yeah. Like, he feels that he has to

00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:56.799
reinvent himself whenever something doesn't go

00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:02.000
right. Yeah. And, like, once you have success,

00:20:02.140 --> 00:20:05.279
I feel you need to lean into your strengths.

00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:09.200
Like, shore up your weaknesses, but you can't

00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:12.119
just make your weaknesses your strengths anymore.

00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:14.759
Like, I think that's something you can do in

00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:20.190
your early 20s sometimes. But, like... Once you

00:20:20.190 --> 00:20:25.049
get your style, just perfect your style. Don't

00:20:25.049 --> 00:20:31.789
change it. If it's just mostly for publicity,

00:20:32.089 --> 00:20:35.269
I don't see a problem with it. It could very

00:20:35.269 --> 00:20:39.970
well be. Like, get some fun Instagram reels of

00:20:39.970 --> 00:20:45.480
the two of them dancing and shit. I could see

00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:47.819
Usyk being fun, but if he's going to try and

00:20:47.819 --> 00:20:55.140
steal his style, it's not going to work. Makes

00:20:55.140 --> 00:20:58.839
me think of, we talked about Tim Zhu going with

00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:02.920
a Cuban trainer. Yeah, I'm still on the fence

00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:07.460
about that too. I don't think Tim Zhu's personal

00:21:07.460 --> 00:21:14.779
style is going to mesh with a Cuban coach. AJ's

00:21:14.779 --> 00:21:17.980
style could be closer to Usyk's, but he changes

00:21:17.980 --> 00:21:20.940
it so often it's hard to tell what his natural

00:21:20.940 --> 00:21:25.099
style is. It would have to be. If they're going

00:21:25.099 --> 00:21:27.180
to have success, if AJ and Usyk are going to

00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:29.579
have success together, it's going to have to

00:21:29.579 --> 00:21:34.460
be taking it back to that Andy Ruiz 2. To me,

00:21:34.579 --> 00:21:37.779
that's the only way that this is going to bear

00:21:37.779 --> 00:21:41.599
any fruit. Otherwise, I don't see Usyk doing

00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:46.849
a whole lot for AJ. publicity yeah that's really

00:21:46.849 --> 00:21:55.529
it uh barry mario barrios versus ryan garcia

00:21:55.529 --> 00:22:04.349
practically it's all but set for q1 of 26 yeah

00:22:04.349 --> 00:22:07.710
i saw they lifted the ban on garcia yeah the

00:22:07.710 --> 00:22:13.559
ban for being a fucking racist that's They said

00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:17.259
that they were monitoring closely affiliated

00:22:17.259 --> 00:22:21.900
with his... I'm not sure how to phrase this,

00:22:22.059 --> 00:22:29.160
but his de -racisting? Undoing the racism? Or

00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:32.619
something? Yeah, I don't know. Because that's

00:22:32.619 --> 00:22:37.799
a thing. Yeah, totally. Deprogramming? Jesus

00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:40.859
Christ. Ryan Garcia is such a dumpster fire.

00:22:43.420 --> 00:22:46.740
Yeah, I'm not. But also, I mean, like, banning

00:22:46.740 --> 00:22:50.400
him for being racist is fucking ridiculous in

00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:56.980
boxing. WBC has done it before. It's not new

00:22:56.980 --> 00:23:03.200
to them to doing it. Like in everything else,

00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:06.259
they're not consistent. None of these organizations

00:23:06.259 --> 00:23:14.089
are consistent. Like... I find it very stupid

00:23:14.089 --> 00:23:18.450
when they put a ban on Garcia, but there's other

00:23:18.450 --> 00:23:21.450
fighters they let fight who've said worse things

00:23:21.450 --> 00:23:28.630
on camera. They're just not as famous. Everybody

00:23:28.630 --> 00:23:32.869
keeps telling me that Garcia is just going to

00:23:32.869 --> 00:23:35.430
knock out Barrios, but I don't know if he is.

00:23:37.009 --> 00:23:41.049
Barrios knows how to survive. Yeah, and like,

00:23:41.230 --> 00:23:45.730
if Garcia doesn't land that left hook, he's gonna

00:23:45.730 --> 00:23:53.950
lose. Barrios can outbox Garcia. I would like

00:23:53.950 --> 00:23:59.049
for Barrios and Garcia to have a draw. Three

00:23:59.049 --> 00:24:02.890
title defense draws in a row has to be historical.

00:24:03.490 --> 00:24:06.450
Yeah, that's why I'm hoping it happens. I also

00:24:06.450 --> 00:24:09.460
do kind of want that. But also, I just want Garcia

00:24:09.460 --> 00:24:12.779
to lose to the worst title holder ever, and then

00:24:12.779 --> 00:24:15.640
people might fuck off about how Ryan Garcia is

00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:20.359
good. Even if he does lose, he'll still always

00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:23.240
be that left hook. That'll always be his calling

00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:28.400
card. Yeah, but one punch doesn't make you good.

00:24:32.180 --> 00:24:37.450
Yeah, you're right. It doesn't, but... It does

00:24:37.450 --> 00:24:40.569
make for good memes when you're fighting the

00:24:40.569 --> 00:24:46.369
worst fucking Titleist at 147. Yeah. But, like,

00:24:46.430 --> 00:24:48.910
if Barrios can just remember to keep his hand

00:24:48.910 --> 00:24:56.410
up... He'll be fine. Barrios needs to bring Rollie

00:24:56.410 --> 00:25:05.750
in to train at camp. What a team. What a team.

00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:14.279
Two division title holder. Fuck yes. Two bums.

00:25:15.059 --> 00:25:25.380
Two bums. Moving to Artur Beterbiev. He's a free

00:25:25.380 --> 00:25:29.400
agent now. So he's got this fight coming up in

00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:34.940
mid -November. And after that, he's a free agent.

00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:37.559
And apparently he's already courting offers.

00:25:39.019 --> 00:25:40.960
I don't know. He's almost 40. Who is he with?

00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:49.059
Top Rank. He's almost 40. He's going to end up

00:25:49.059 --> 00:25:51.440
with fucking Eye of the Tiger or something terrible.

00:25:51.900 --> 00:25:56.960
Oh, that would be... I don't think so. That would

00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:01.839
be fucking hilarious. No. I mean, he's probably

00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:03.960
just going to sign with Top Rank again, isn't

00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:09.920
he? From what I've heard from him and his manager,

00:26:10.140 --> 00:26:15.279
so like what, grain of salt or whatever, but

00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:18.339
it's that he's looking elsewhere. He's not looking

00:26:18.339 --> 00:26:21.200
to re -sign with Top Rank. I guess Top Rank still

00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:24.839
doesn't have a partner. They don't have the goods

00:26:24.839 --> 00:26:38.220
to keep him busy. Matchroom? Mattroom, Queensberry.

00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:42.819
The Brits are taking over. Yeah, couldn't go

00:26:42.819 --> 00:26:47.079
wrong right now. They have broadcast deals. They

00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:50.359
got Saudi financing. Yeah, I was going to say,

00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:56.599
Turkey likes them. I wonder if Dana White tries

00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:02.500
to poach him. That would be quite a get. Because

00:27:02.500 --> 00:27:06.059
as you get heavier, you get higher up in the

00:27:06.059 --> 00:27:10.839
divisions, you can kind of forego age a little

00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:18.099
bit more. Yeah. And like, Better BF isn't the

00:27:18.099 --> 00:27:24.220
most expensive of those guys. No. And then they

00:27:24.220 --> 00:27:27.400
could say, look, our minimums are minimums. We're

00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:31.839
paying this guy much more. I don't know. I kind

00:27:31.839 --> 00:27:34.579
of hope that doesn't happen. I don't think that

00:27:34.579 --> 00:27:42.000
Zufa will be able to poach Beterbiev. He could

00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:46.259
just ask his... I don't know. I don't know if

00:27:46.259 --> 00:27:51.819
Beterbiev is Dagestani or Chechen, but he can

00:27:51.819 --> 00:27:55.440
ask one of his homies, like, what's Dana White

00:27:55.440 --> 00:28:00.359
like? And they'll give him the scoop. That's

00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:09.839
true. I don't know where Beterbiev is from. He's

00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:13.720
Russian, yes, but what region of Russia is he

00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:22.880
from? Yeah, that's what I meant. Born... Yeah,

00:28:22.940 --> 00:28:27.619
he is Dagestani. Okay. Goddamn, he's old. He's

00:28:27.619 --> 00:28:30.859
older than us, Leo. He was born in the Soviet

00:28:30.859 --> 00:28:39.599
Union. So aging oneself. I think I was born at

00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:43.359
the very end of it. The very tail end. The waning

00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:55.720
months. We're the same age. Yeah. Another interesting

00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:59.890
free agency that came to a close. Clarissa Shields

00:28:59.890 --> 00:29:04.509
signs an $8 million two -year deal with Salida

00:29:04.509 --> 00:29:09.170
Promotions. I always forget Salida exists, to

00:29:09.170 --> 00:29:12.170
be honest. Clarissa Shields is pretty much the

00:29:12.170 --> 00:29:17.130
only reason that anyone cares about it. And caring

00:29:17.130 --> 00:29:23.569
about it, I'm using that very gratuitously. Yeah,

00:29:23.670 --> 00:29:28.299
Clarissa Shields is a weird one. She suffers

00:29:28.299 --> 00:29:31.980
from success to some extent. She's just so good

00:29:31.980 --> 00:29:37.079
that she's boring. Like, her fights aren't exciting.

00:29:37.259 --> 00:29:39.220
There's nobody anywhere near her weight class.

00:29:40.539 --> 00:29:43.740
Yeah, the few that are at heavyweight are not

00:29:43.740 --> 00:29:51.000
even close. Yeah. I think she's already beaten

00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:55.420
all of the challengers that do exist at heavyweight.

00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:00.460
But, like, she could come down if she wanted

00:30:00.460 --> 00:30:03.339
to, but there's nobody to drag her down either.

00:30:03.500 --> 00:30:06.279
Like, I don't think Clarissa needs to be a heavyweight.

00:30:06.420 --> 00:30:11.259
No. She could cut down, but there's nobody to

00:30:11.259 --> 00:30:14.640
incentivize that. I can't think of any women

00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:20.579
at the higher weight classes with any name recognition.

00:30:20.779 --> 00:30:29.579
Yeah, I can't either. Yeah, her career is kind

00:30:29.579 --> 00:30:42.079
of a weird one. Now, I have this. Instead of

00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:48.180
Q1, it's T1. It's trimester one. As much as I

00:30:48.180 --> 00:30:51.400
like using the term trimester to mean four months,

00:30:51.619 --> 00:30:58.380
but most people don't. The implication of trimester

00:30:58.380 --> 00:31:05.819
is not at all to do with the calendar. Understandably

00:31:05.819 --> 00:31:13.799
so. But sometime in T1 of 26, Resendiz versus

00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:22.759
Berlingo. That could be a banger, maybe. Yeah,

00:31:22.859 --> 00:31:26.140
Resendiz comes to... He's a clubber. Berlingo.

00:31:28.340 --> 00:31:31.299
Similarly. We're gonna get to see the symbol

00:31:31.299 --> 00:31:37.859
monkey again. Maybe. Oh, that'll be nice. Yeah,

00:31:37.940 --> 00:31:41.180
I don't know how I feel about Berlanga. I was

00:31:41.180 --> 00:31:45.299
never super high on him anyways. But I think

00:31:45.299 --> 00:31:48.880
we've kind of seen his ceiling now. Yes. If nothing

00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.839
else, we know his ceiling. Yeah, I'm not sure

00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:55.460
what to make of him either. I do like calling

00:31:55.460 --> 00:32:00.880
him Kony, King of New York, for funsies. That's

00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:07.299
always fun. But I got nothing other than T126.

00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:11.059
Yeah, the memes are fun, but I also wouldn't

00:32:11.059 --> 00:32:14.059
be surprised if Resendiz pulled off the upset.

00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:17.920
I assume it would be an upset. I don't think

00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:22.609
so. I think the bookies are going to have Berlanga

00:32:22.609 --> 00:32:26.369
as the favorite. That, okay, yes. The bookies

00:32:26.369 --> 00:32:29.789
probably have Berlanga up just because he's more

00:32:29.789 --> 00:32:40.630
known. Yeah. Oh, shit. This one is a Shanada

00:32:40.630 --> 00:32:45.829
favorite. Tsutsumi versus Nonito Donair for the

00:32:45.829 --> 00:32:51.220
WBA question mark title. Yeah, we can get into

00:32:51.220 --> 00:32:54.200
that in a second, but I'm so excited. I am definitely

00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:59.599
buying a ticket for this one. And I know he's

00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:02.759
well past it, but I'm super excited to see Donair

00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:05.640
fight in person. He was one of my favorites like

00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:09.880
years ago. I do think Tsutsumi is going to be

00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:13.960
too much for him. But Donair always has that

00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:19.700
puncher's chance still. The Ryan Garcia chants?

00:33:20.579 --> 00:33:25.160
Don't call it that. It is the left hook, too.

00:33:25.940 --> 00:33:29.960
Tsutsumi gets hit. And Donair still has power.

00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:34.779
But I don't think he can pull it off. And I don't

00:33:34.779 --> 00:33:39.619
want him to. I want Tsutsumi to win. But... I

00:33:39.619 --> 00:33:43.200
do feel like the WBA is just fucking with Tsutsumi,

00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:47.650
though. Like... He fought earlier this year and

00:33:47.650 --> 00:33:50.829
they put him in recess instantly as soon as he

00:33:50.829 --> 00:33:55.769
said he had that eye injury. Like, he fought

00:33:55.769 --> 00:33:59.630
this February, right, Tsutsumi? It was in the

00:33:59.630 --> 00:34:03.410
beginning of the year, yes. But, like, that's

00:34:03.410 --> 00:34:07.710
not that long of a time off. That's seven months.

00:34:10.269 --> 00:34:12.369
Fighters go seven months without fighting and

00:34:12.369 --> 00:34:14.929
keep their titles all the fucking time. Yeah.

00:34:16.170 --> 00:34:18.789
And he's coming out of recess and doesn't get

00:34:18.789 --> 00:34:22.949
to fight for the actual title. What the fuck's

00:34:22.949 --> 00:34:29.469
up with that? And the JBC apparently doesn't

00:34:29.469 --> 00:34:33.010
recognize interim belts. So he's not even fighting

00:34:33.010 --> 00:34:39.590
for Donair's interim. Not really. No, he wouldn't

00:34:39.590 --> 00:34:43.739
be if the JBC is going to sanction it. Well,

00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:46.519
the fight's in Tokyo, so it's going to be the

00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:51.599
JBC. It's not going to be available for Sutsumi

00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:57.039
to win. So, like, I don't hate this fight, but

00:34:57.039 --> 00:35:01.639
what the fuck is it for? Yeah, like, Sutsumi's

00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:05.940
the champion in recess. Antonio Vargas is the

00:35:05.940 --> 00:35:10.800
full champion. Nonito Donair is the interim champion.

00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:16.300
This is an instance where you should leave the

00:35:16.300 --> 00:35:21.380
World Championship vacant. You have an interim,

00:35:21.539 --> 00:35:25.019
and then the champion in recess comes back, and

00:35:25.019 --> 00:35:30.320
they fight for the full title. Just how it should

00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:33.300
work. Well, I mean, Tsutsumi shouldn't have been

00:35:33.300 --> 00:35:36.920
put in recess, I don't think. Like, he's fighting

00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:41.199
again within a year. Yeah, you're right. He shouldn't

00:35:41.199 --> 00:35:47.389
have been. And it's not like this is unexpected.

00:35:47.889 --> 00:35:51.849
It wasn't like his eye surgery was something

00:35:51.849 --> 00:35:54.190
that was going to put him on the shelf for a

00:35:54.190 --> 00:36:00.710
long time. He always planned to fight again soon.

00:36:00.809 --> 00:36:06.610
Within a calendar year. Yeah, which lots of champs

00:36:06.610 --> 00:36:11.070
get way longer than a calendar year without being

00:36:12.139 --> 00:36:15.480
I guess he's not stripped, but... I don't know.

00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:17.320
I just... I feel like they've treated him like

00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:20.800
shit, and I don't understand why. He's not controversial.

00:36:22.820 --> 00:36:26.119
Like, I... I haven't heard any scandals with

00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:33.260
him. Uh, he's... He's fun. Like, his Punchburger

00:36:33.260 --> 00:36:38.920
-style persona is fun. I don't get it. I don't

00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:42.099
know why they're fucking with him so bad. Okay,

00:36:42.219 --> 00:36:44.159
they recessed him. At least let him fight for

00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:48.139
his title when he comes back. You could try hitting

00:36:48.139 --> 00:36:54.159
up the... I think it's still Gilberto Mendoza.

00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:59.260
Still the head of the WBA. Just call him up.

00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:01.719
Hit him up on Twitter. Hit him up on Twitter

00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:06.599
and say what the shit, man. I don't have a Twitter,

00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:10.900
but I think it's bullshit. It is bullshit. And

00:37:10.900 --> 00:37:13.360
I know I'm biased, but I think this is not my

00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:16.480
bias. This is just straight -up bullshit. I don't

00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:26.840
understand why they did this. Like, again, I

00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:29.260
don't think he will lose, but I also think that

00:37:29.260 --> 00:37:35.059
it's not a 0 % chance. Like, what's he get if

00:37:35.059 --> 00:37:39.369
he... He gets nothing if he wins. And if he loses,

00:37:39.409 --> 00:37:41.110
they're not going to let him fight for his title.

00:37:44.130 --> 00:37:48.150
But it just seems a weird way to move. I'm not

00:37:48.150 --> 00:37:53.409
a fan. It is. It's a weird situation. It definitely

00:37:53.409 --> 00:37:57.809
needs some clarification. It kind of feels like

00:37:57.809 --> 00:38:00.070
they just don't want him to be the champion.

00:38:00.150 --> 00:38:04.539
And I can't figure out a reason why. Like, I

00:38:04.539 --> 00:38:07.019
know he wasn't supposed to beat Takuma, but he

00:38:07.019 --> 00:38:14.719
did. Get over it. Shoulder shrug. No idea. Speaking

00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:18.199
of shoulder shrugs, Pacquiao, Manny Pacquiao

00:38:18.199 --> 00:38:24.320
is the vice president of the IBA. Yeah. Weird

00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:28.380
fucking move. Like, you're famous for the Olympic

00:38:28.380 --> 00:38:33.019
controversies. and you've been kicked out of

00:38:33.019 --> 00:38:36.920
amateur boxing, basically, or Olympic boxing,

00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:42.599
and you elect an active fighter and promoter

00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:47.579
to the vice president position. It's a weird

00:38:47.579 --> 00:38:51.739
fucking move. Like, that's a huge conflict of

00:38:51.739 --> 00:38:57.039
interest. The IBA only really deals with the

00:38:57.039 --> 00:39:01.900
amateur stuff, doesn't it? Yeah, but Pacquiao's

00:39:01.900 --> 00:39:06.780
promotions has a lot of amateur fighters. They're

00:39:06.780 --> 00:39:10.079
sanctioning a lot of those fights in the Philippines.

00:39:12.860 --> 00:39:15.260
Okay, that is definitely an interesting situation.

00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:21.219
I just... I know Pacquiao's mostly just a name.

00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:24.619
I'm sure he's not actually doing shit. But just

00:39:24.619 --> 00:39:27.929
in general, having... Somebody that's an active

00:39:27.929 --> 00:39:30.630
fighter on the board of one of these things seems

00:39:30.630 --> 00:39:36.989
like a bad move. I know the IBA isn't going to

00:39:36.989 --> 00:39:39.829
be sanctioning any of Pacquiao's personal fights,

00:39:40.010 --> 00:39:45.230
but... I don't know. I just think it sounds stupid.

00:39:45.849 --> 00:39:49.849
And dollars to donuts, Pacquiao's kids are all

00:39:49.849 --> 00:39:54.960
gonna be getting something from the IBA. Because

00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:58.139
they do have regional belts and stuff, don't

00:39:58.139 --> 00:40:02.400
they? I honestly don't know. I thought that the

00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:10.119
IBA was just the group that oversaw the Olympic

00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:13.860
boxing and the world championships that happen

00:40:13.860 --> 00:40:16.880
at different years, different places, like Pan

00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:24.099
American games, Asian games, etc. Maybe I...

00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:26.179
I don't follow this stuff enough. I shouldn't

00:40:26.179 --> 00:40:33.300
talk about it. But, I mean, Pacquiao Promotions

00:40:33.300 --> 00:40:35.579
is going to have fighters in those Pan -Asian

00:40:35.579 --> 00:40:39.639
games and stuff. Yeah, that they will, I'm sure.

00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:48.320
And which of the big organizations fucks with

00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:58.530
the IBA? Is it the WBA? I don't know. Anyways,

00:40:58.630 --> 00:41:01.789
maybe it's not as big a controversy as I thought

00:41:01.789 --> 00:41:05.409
it was. It seems really like a strange situation

00:41:05.409 --> 00:41:11.050
to me. Yeah, I would give it strange as well.

00:41:11.150 --> 00:41:15.309
I think that it's like a figurehead, just like

00:41:15.309 --> 00:41:18.949
you had said. Pacquiao's just a name, so they're

00:41:18.949 --> 00:41:23.840
putting him into a very important seat. very

00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:27.179
important with you know really heavy air quotations

00:41:27.179 --> 00:41:32.360
yeah and like vice president probably doesn't

00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:37.599
have any real ability to do but i don't know

00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:41.179
i just it seems a weird move to have an active

00:41:41.179 --> 00:41:44.039
fighter on one of those boards active fighter

00:41:44.039 --> 00:41:51.789
active promoter yeah yeah Anything more for the

00:41:51.789 --> 00:41:56.269
news and info, news and rumors stuff? I don't

00:41:56.269 --> 00:42:04.150
think so. All right. Well, some notes here. You

00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:10.300
are you really eating? If you look at the ingredients,

00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:13.599
it's a confusing list of chemicals, sugars, preservatives,

00:45:13.719 --> 00:45:16.659
and things you can't even pronounce. But it doesn't

00:45:16.659 --> 00:45:20.400
have to be this way. Meet Grazely. It's a simple

00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:22.820
question, really. What does beef jerky need to

00:45:22.820 --> 00:45:27.480
be great? And the answer is meat and salt. That's

natural salt, No nitrates, no sugars, no weird

00:45:37.349 --> 00:45:40.289

that's that. I noticed we have new ads. Oh. It's

nice. Yes, I redid them. I redo them every, like,

00:46:23.920 --> 00:46:27.820
four to six months. But we've got, like, a new

00:46:27.820 --> 00:46:34.019
sponsor. Yeah. New Beef Jerky. Yeah, that's the

00:46:34.019 --> 00:46:40.920
one. It's fucking really good. And then this

00:46:40.920 --> 00:46:46.639
shampoo that I tried helped me with my fucking

00:46:46.639 --> 00:46:51.239
dandruff issue. Nice. So I gotta spread the good

00:46:51.239 --> 00:46:58.000
word. Recaps. Queensberry at the Co -op Live

00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:02.460
Arena in Manchester, England. I only picked up

00:47:02.460 --> 00:47:07.099
two. Lyndon Arthur, majority decision over Bradley

00:47:07.099 --> 00:47:09.960
Ray. I think that's how they were saying it.

00:47:11.679 --> 00:47:16.960
Yeah, I don't know. Rhea is the genus name. It's

00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:19.460
the genus name for ostriches and all those big

00:47:19.460 --> 00:47:26.539
birds. Bradley Big Bird? Yeah, he kind of looks

00:47:26.539 --> 00:47:30.840
like an ostrich. Lyndon Arthur fucking soundly

00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:34.519
outboxed him. I thought I was confused because

00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:37.139
the commentary kept talking about how Bradley

00:47:37.139 --> 00:47:41.880
Ray was doing amazing or whatever. But I was

00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:44.699
like, Lyndon Arthur is like piecing him up with

00:47:44.699 --> 00:47:49.880
that jab. I don't know. It was definitely a comeback

00:47:49.880 --> 00:47:54.059
for Arthur. Like he was hurt and losing. Oh shit,

00:47:54.059 --> 00:47:57.380
he got dropped in the second. That's right. Yeah,

00:47:57.460 --> 00:48:03.139
so. And he got hurt again in the fourth or something.

00:48:03.800 --> 00:48:06.360
But then the last three quarters of the fight,

00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:12.760
yeah, Arthur just completely outboxed him. Rhea's

00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:18.619
corner was giving him the no bullshit talk there.

00:48:18.760 --> 00:48:22.500
I think it was... before the second last round

00:48:22.500 --> 00:48:26.079
it's like you're gonna be I forget what stadium

00:48:26.079 --> 00:48:29.139
it was not stadium but like hall he's like you're

00:48:29.139 --> 00:48:31.380
gonna be back at the hall you were at when you

00:48:31.380 --> 00:48:33.659
were a kid you don't want that fucking go out

00:48:33.659 --> 00:48:37.980
and win these two rounds and then Rhea did not

00:48:37.980 --> 00:48:44.320
so yeah Lyndon Arthur boxed some soundly the

00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:47.219
decision was a lot closer than I would have expected

00:48:47.219 --> 00:48:51.010
I guess the knockdown brought it up on points

00:48:51.010 --> 00:48:56.329
but i don't know i i thought it was pretty close

00:48:56.329 --> 00:49:01.570
like i gave most of the first few rounds to to

00:49:01.570 --> 00:49:08.449
bradley yeah and then with the knockdown i i

00:49:08.449 --> 00:49:11.750
think lyndon arthur did win it but i thought

00:49:11.750 --> 00:49:14.170
it was a close fight i gotta it was actually

00:49:14.170 --> 00:49:18.480
pretty fun it was i was surprised I've got to

00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:21.500
stop being so much of a contrarian. Because pretty

00:49:21.500 --> 00:49:24.599
much anything the commentary says, I immediately

00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:27.420
start thinking the opposite. Especially with

00:49:27.420 --> 00:49:30.380
those British guys. Because they lay it on so

00:49:30.380 --> 00:49:34.559
fucking thick. Yeah, yeah. Dudes chill out. They

00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:39.940
like to slurp their favorites for sure. But...

00:49:39.940 --> 00:49:42.699
Now, this fight's worth going and watching if

00:49:42.699 --> 00:49:45.760
you missed it. Because I have to admit, I kind

00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:49.519
of... didn't care about this card at all i didn't

00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:53.800
either and yeah like we both agreed to go back

00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:58.239
and watch it and i'm very glad i did yeah yeah

00:49:58.239 --> 00:50:01.280
this fight was fun but lyndon arthur's looking

00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:06.480
old he's looking the worst for wear yes like

00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:12.739
he got hurt too easy it happened too quickly

00:50:12.739 --> 00:50:14.960
yeah you're right it happened really quickly

00:50:18.450 --> 00:50:21.829
Oh, Joshua Buozzi. Majority decision over Zach

00:50:21.829 --> 00:50:26.949
Parker. This one, the commentary did not agree

00:50:26.949 --> 00:50:34.730
with. I don't know. I was kind of fading in and

00:50:34.730 --> 00:50:36.949
out of it. Like, this was certainly a fight of

00:50:36.949 --> 00:50:41.050
all time. It was boring as hell. Yeah. Okay.

00:50:41.130 --> 00:50:44.670
There was a lot of... No. There was a lot of

00:50:44.670 --> 00:50:49.309
punch, punch, clinch. And, like, Parker kept

00:50:49.309 --> 00:50:52.769
coming in with his head down really low, and

00:50:52.769 --> 00:50:56.730
Boazzi just, like, headlock him, and then they'd

00:50:56.730 --> 00:50:58.849
break, and then they'd throw four punches, and

00:50:58.849 --> 00:51:04.690
it was another headlock. I felt like Boazzi wasn't

00:51:04.690 --> 00:51:10.889
throwing enough punches at all. I thought Parker

00:51:10.889 --> 00:51:18.320
probably won it as well. But... What did comms

00:51:18.320 --> 00:51:21.679
have on that one? They gave one round to Blotzy?

00:51:21.820 --> 00:51:25.500
Like, they were pissed at the scorecards. One

00:51:25.500 --> 00:51:31.260
round to Blotzy? Yeah. Wow. I don't think that

00:51:31.260 --> 00:51:38.500
was fair either. But they had Parker winning

00:51:38.500 --> 00:51:43.599
handily. It was just kind of a boring fight.

00:51:49.239 --> 00:51:54.719
Oh, keeping that trend. Matchroom at the Caribe

00:51:54.719 --> 00:51:59.699
Royale in Orlando, Florida. Three really quickly.

00:52:00.739 --> 00:52:04.699
Nishant Dev gets the UD over Juan Carlos Campos

00:52:04.699 --> 00:52:09.320
Medina. Pat Brown with the quick stoppage. KO2

00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:14.500
over Felix Valera. Yoelvis Gomez split draw over

00:52:14.500 --> 00:52:19.590
Entrevious Ingram. And like I said, keeping in

00:52:19.590 --> 00:52:23.730
the theme of boring, Lanier Pero versus Jordan

00:52:23.730 --> 00:52:31.030
Thompson. Pero gets the UD. Got deducted a point

00:52:31.030 --> 00:52:39.659
for low blows. it was i have to admit i tried

00:52:39.659 --> 00:52:43.539
to watch this one and i just got so fucking bored

00:52:43.539 --> 00:52:46.800
that's how i was with watsi parker like i was

00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:49.840
like this is this is a fight of all time and

00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:54.840
i really just do not have the patience yeah that

00:52:54.840 --> 00:52:57.820
was me on this one i had it on and i realized

00:52:57.820 --> 00:53:02.059
i wasn't watching and i went back and then realized

00:53:02.059 --> 00:53:04.780
i wasn't watching and i was like fuck it i watched

00:53:04.780 --> 00:53:07.949
the highlights but There weren't any highlights?

00:53:08.030 --> 00:53:14.389
You didn't miss a whole lot. This was a pretty

00:53:14.389 --> 00:53:19.230
rough one. I also don't care about either of

00:53:19.230 --> 00:53:21.530
these people. They brought up Gerald Miller.

00:53:23.829 --> 00:53:27.590
Lanier and Gerald Miller were jaw -jacking at

00:53:27.590 --> 00:53:33.409
each other. Overall, it was a pretty lackluster

00:53:33.409 --> 00:53:40.159
affair. But do you know what wasn't a lackluster

00:53:40.159 --> 00:53:45.679
affair? Probox. On Friday, November 7th, Probox

00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:51.400
on YouTube. I fucking love Probox. Oh, my God.

00:53:52.400 --> 00:53:57.579
Probox delivered. Probox delivered. Dominic Valle

00:53:57.579 --> 00:54:01.880
gets the UD over Miguel Anquenoit. Rene Alvarado.

00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:08.980
I'm sorry. So they had a late replacement. And

00:54:08.980 --> 00:54:11.480
Dominic Valle got the job done. He looked dominant.

00:54:12.340 --> 00:54:18.300
Rene did have some questions to pose to Valle.

00:54:18.420 --> 00:54:22.320
And Valle had all the answers. So not much more

00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:29.760
to say about it. Katsuma Akitsugi. Stoppage in

00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:34.619
seven over Vincent Astrolabio. Death by a thousand

00:54:34.619 --> 00:54:38.280
cuts. Every fucking time. This made me so happy,

00:54:38.420 --> 00:54:41.219
because someone in Discord was like, ah, this

00:54:41.219 --> 00:54:43.219
guy's only got three knockouts, this is gonna

00:54:43.219 --> 00:54:46.719
be boring as fuck. And I was like, no! You sit

00:54:46.719 --> 00:54:50.880
down and you watch this. Stand the fuck by. Stand

00:54:50.880 --> 00:54:55.739
by. It was great. It's just, he throws so many

00:54:55.739 --> 00:54:59.440
punches, and so many different punches. Like,

00:54:59.440 --> 00:55:05.659
he must just be a fucking nightmare. Because

00:55:05.659 --> 00:55:08.679
you're like, ah, where's it coming? Oh, no. Why

00:55:08.679 --> 00:55:11.840
won't it stop? Do I guard my body? Oops, I get

00:55:11.840 --> 00:55:14.880
an uppercut. Do I guard my face? Oops, I get

00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:17.860
punched to the liver. And down I go for the fourth

00:55:17.860 --> 00:55:22.260
time in the fight. Australavio. I don't know

00:55:22.260 --> 00:55:26.739
if he's just weak to the body or bad at defending

00:55:26.739 --> 00:55:31.110
it. Because I do think... Akitsugi landed some

00:55:31.110 --> 00:55:34.230
pretty hard, very precise body shots that put

00:55:34.230 --> 00:55:40.190
Astrolabio down. But even without his sickly

00:55:40.190 --> 00:55:44.269
appendix, Astrolabio was going down hard with

00:55:44.269 --> 00:55:48.210
the body shots. But he got up every fucking time.

00:55:48.449 --> 00:55:52.409
Yeah. Which is crazy. Yeah, you can't doubt his

00:55:52.409 --> 00:55:55.380
spirit. Yeah, he went down with a liver shot.

00:55:55.519 --> 00:55:58.039
He went down with a spleen shot. He went down

00:55:58.039 --> 00:56:01.219
with a solar plexus shot. He was down five times

00:56:01.219 --> 00:56:05.239
in that fight before the ref called in. And I

00:56:05.239 --> 00:56:09.340
know they're body shots, but like going down

00:56:09.340 --> 00:56:13.199
five times in a fight. That's going down after

00:56:13.199 --> 00:56:16.019
getting pieced up for like 20 to 30 seconds.

00:56:17.300 --> 00:56:21.219
Yeah. Yeah, they're not one shot knockdowns.

00:56:21.219 --> 00:56:26.909
Like that's not. It was a fun fight. Astrolabio

00:56:26.909 --> 00:56:33.449
got in a few good shots as well, but... Yeah,

00:56:33.469 --> 00:56:35.929
it seemed like Akitsuki had his number pretty

00:56:35.929 --> 00:56:42.130
much from the beginning. Sorry, the ice cream

00:56:42.130 --> 00:56:48.070
truck is going by, I think. Somebody with music

00:56:48.070 --> 00:56:53.719
and a loudspeaker anyways. Yeah, no, I... I really

00:56:53.719 --> 00:56:58.400
like Akitsugi. He's an all -action style. He

00:56:58.400 --> 00:57:04.599
does not have one -punch power, but I think he's

00:57:04.599 --> 00:57:08.179
gotten knockouts in all of his pro box fights.

00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:12.199
He has, yes. He had zero knockouts, and now he

00:57:12.199 --> 00:57:19.840
has three or four? Three. Three? Yeah. Oh, I

00:57:19.840 --> 00:57:23.059
like this guy. People should watch him. His nickname's

00:57:23.059 --> 00:57:28.820
also fun. We were trying to... I was trying to

00:57:28.820 --> 00:57:31.119
figure it out on Discord because it's slang.

00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:34.679
But he's like the little Japanese firework or

00:57:34.679 --> 00:57:40.739
something. Yeah, that's exactly it. Yeah. But...

00:57:40.739 --> 00:57:49.019
Oh, Delonte Johnson stops Nicholas Flass in four.

00:57:51.050 --> 00:57:54.989
I was surprised at how one -sided this was. Me

00:57:54.989 --> 00:57:59.010
too. Like, flaws didn't just had answers for

00:57:59.010 --> 00:58:05.389
nothing. Yeah, he got rocked pretty early. That

00:58:05.389 --> 00:58:08.269
ref also wanted to see a dead body. Jesus Christ.

00:58:10.570 --> 00:58:14.289
Yeah, he might have. That could have been stopped

00:58:14.289 --> 00:58:18.889
earlier. And if flaws hadn't stumbled, he was

00:58:18.889 --> 00:58:26.030
going to let it go. Like, that was anti -Brit

00:58:26.030 --> 00:58:31.030
reffing. Johnson looked really good, though.

00:58:31.389 --> 00:58:38.789
Yes. I have high hopes. Because the welterweight

00:58:38.789 --> 00:58:45.130
division definitely needs people. Yeah. So I'm

00:58:45.130 --> 00:58:52.190
hopeful that Flos can rebound. Because that loss

00:58:52.190 --> 00:58:58.349
to Delonte Johnson, it was bad, yes, but it doesn't

00:58:58.349 --> 00:59:01.349
have to be the end of the career. He already

00:59:01.349 --> 00:59:05.230
had two losses, so I'm sure he'll make a comeback.

00:59:06.429 --> 00:59:08.969
Provox will give him more shots, I think. For

00:59:08.969 --> 00:59:13.809
sure. Like, that's kind of their thing. A loss

00:59:13.809 --> 00:59:17.170
doesn't end it. Yeah, and if you're in an exciting

00:59:17.170 --> 00:59:21.480
fight... You're gonna get another shot. Yeah.

00:59:24.420 --> 00:59:30.599
But Delonte Johnson came into this 28th at welterweight

00:59:30.599 --> 00:59:47.900
on BoxRec. What? Let me see. He's now... Where

00:59:47.900 --> 00:59:53.920
the fuck is he? Ninth. Holy shit. That's a big

00:59:53.920 --> 01:00:01.440
jump. That is huge. Nice. I wonder if that's

01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:05.300
gonna get him... Was he in the rankings with

01:00:05.300 --> 01:00:09.179
anybody? Not that I know of. I wonder if that'll

01:00:09.179 --> 01:00:27.079
jump him. Welters 147, right? Yes. Well, Nicholas

01:00:27.079 --> 01:00:35.820
Flaws was ranked 11th with the WBO. Which is

01:00:35.820 --> 01:00:38.480
what these guys are probably going to be ranked

01:00:38.480 --> 01:00:40.320
with because they were fighting for some North

01:00:40.320 --> 01:00:45.320
American title from them. Nicholas Flaws was

01:00:45.320 --> 01:00:52.699
also ranked Tense with the IBF. So that should

01:00:52.699 --> 01:00:55.820
get Williams into some rankings, I would think.

01:00:57.519 --> 01:01:04.539
Johnson? Jesus Christ, yeah. How about Jim Sasaki?

01:01:05.780 --> 01:01:12.940
I mean, leave Sasaki alone, but... Is he even

01:01:12.940 --> 01:01:16.619
still in the rankings? He's 12th. This is all

01:01:16.619 --> 01:01:20.119
box rec. That's what I'm going off of. Oh, I

01:01:20.119 --> 01:01:27.039
pulled up the standings for each belt. Sasaki

01:01:27.039 --> 01:01:31.480
is not listed by any of the belt guys. Nor should

01:01:31.480 --> 01:01:39.179
he be. Why did I call him Johnson? I called Pommy

01:01:39.179 --> 01:01:42.780
Fury Huey Fury yesterday too. I'm just pulling

01:01:42.780 --> 01:01:45.039
names out of my ass now. They're not even close.

01:01:45.780 --> 01:01:51.579
It's alright. Yeah, anyways, I think that should

01:01:51.579 --> 01:01:59.519
jump. Tiger. Oh, that's why I called him Williams.

01:01:59.639 --> 01:02:06.179
His nickname's Tiger. Ammo, yeah. No, Tiger Williams

01:02:06.179 --> 01:02:11.619
was a really old hockey player. Anyways, doesn't

01:02:11.619 --> 01:02:16.889
matter. It was a good fight. Actually, all the

01:02:16.889 --> 01:02:19.070
fights on the ProBox card were fun. People should

01:02:19.070 --> 01:02:22.170
just go watch ProBox. It's free. It's free on

01:02:22.170 --> 01:02:24.409
YouTube. Can't go wrong. Plus you get to see

01:02:24.409 --> 01:02:30.510
Pauly Molinaggi with an eyepatch this week. Eyepatch

01:02:30.510 --> 01:02:35.809
Pauly. You go with eyepatch Pauly and not pirate

01:02:35.809 --> 01:02:41.170
Pauly? The parrots are always called Pauly too.

01:02:41.289 --> 01:02:44.840
It's even funnier. I just got a finger gun. Cause

01:02:44.840 --> 01:02:47.099
like, yep, you got it. I should have went with

01:02:47.099 --> 01:02:53.980
pirate Polly. Uh, anything more for pro box?

01:02:55.619 --> 01:02:59.480
No, just go watch it. Pro box is good. Go back.

01:02:59.519 --> 01:03:04.480
Go fucking pro box. Good. Go watch it. That's

01:03:04.480 --> 01:03:07.300
those are two thoughts that got mashed up there.

01:03:09.300 --> 01:03:15.809
Um, stuff coming up. Matchroom on November 15th

01:03:15.809 --> 01:03:19.869
at Tottenham Hotspur Arena or Stadium, excuse

01:03:19.869 --> 01:03:24.309
me, in London, England. I'm going to go to this

01:03:24.309 --> 01:03:27.409
one. I'm excited. You should be excited. I'm

01:03:27.409 --> 01:03:33.230
jealous. I wish I could come too. So Mikey Talon

01:03:33.230 --> 01:03:36.889
versus Fezzan Shahid is starting it off at super

01:03:36.889 --> 01:03:40.210
flyweight. Richard Reakpour versus Tommy Welsh

01:03:40.210 --> 01:03:44.429
at heavyweight. Sam Gilly vs. Ishmael Davis at

01:03:44.429 --> 01:03:49.289
Super Welter. This is one to watch. Jack Catterall

01:03:49.289 --> 01:03:52.550
vs. Ekau Essaman at Welterweight. This should

01:03:52.550 --> 01:03:56.110
be fun. Is that a rematch? Catterall vs. Essaman?

01:03:56.329 --> 01:04:02.429
I don't think so. No. It should be fun. I like

01:04:02.429 --> 01:04:09.630
Ekau Essaman. Adam Azeem vs. Kurt Scooby at Super

01:04:09.630 --> 01:04:14.179
Lightweight. I'm going to be one of like five

01:04:14.179 --> 01:04:21.400
people cheering for Kurt Scooby. Yup. I'm still,

01:04:21.440 --> 01:04:25.820
I'm still excited. And Chris Eubank versus Connor

01:04:25.820 --> 01:04:30.019
Ben in a rematch. I'm, I still haven't seen what

01:04:30.019 --> 01:04:32.980
weight this is going to be at, but it's going

01:04:32.980 --> 01:04:37.139
to be a 12 round fight. Oh, they haven't, they

01:04:37.139 --> 01:04:40.400
haven't announced. I thought it was the. I thought

01:04:40.400 --> 01:04:44.280
it was the same weight. Is it? I don't know.

01:04:44.320 --> 01:04:48.559
I was under that impression. I would have thought,

01:04:48.760 --> 01:04:56.679
but I haven't seen. I mean, it probably won't

01:04:56.679 --> 01:04:59.219
be as good as the first one, but I hope it is.

01:05:00.980 --> 01:05:05.539
I'm just here for the chance. I'm here for the

01:05:05.539 --> 01:05:10.260
atmosphere. I don't really give a shit. You're

01:05:10.260 --> 01:05:12.280
going to be singing Sweet Caroline at the top

01:05:12.280 --> 01:05:19.760
of your lungs. No. No, I would not. Probably

01:05:19.760 --> 01:05:25.239
not, but we'll see. You have to. It's part of

01:05:25.239 --> 01:05:27.199
the atmosphere. It is part of the atmosphere.

01:05:27.320 --> 01:05:33.400
You're right. I probably should. I think you're

01:05:33.400 --> 01:05:41.320
going to have so much fun. I'm jealous. Scooby.

01:05:42.639 --> 01:05:44.860
I don't know why everyone calls him Scooby. He

01:05:44.860 --> 01:05:47.739
himself says his name is Scooby. Because it's

01:05:47.739 --> 01:05:52.940
only got one O. Yes. I've heard interviews with

01:05:52.940 --> 01:06:04.400
him and he says it's Scooby. Yeah. November 22nd.

01:06:04.800 --> 01:06:08.469
We're shooting up a bit of a ways. for reasons

01:06:08.469 --> 01:06:11.369
that will soon be revealed. Well, I already mentioned

01:06:11.369 --> 01:06:15.590
I'm going to be at Matchroom at the Ben Eubank

01:06:15.590 --> 01:06:17.650
card. So, look, I'm not going to be in the country

01:06:17.650 --> 01:06:23.170
for the 22nd. So, we're not going to be doing

01:06:23.170 --> 01:06:26.329
the podcast. But we're going to talk about it

01:06:26.329 --> 01:06:30.190
now. Archer Betterbeev versus Dion Nicholson.

01:06:32.590 --> 01:06:35.489
Who the fuck is Dion Nicholson? This is certainly

01:06:35.489 --> 01:06:39.250
an opponent of all time. That's really all I

01:06:39.250 --> 01:06:41.730
got. I don't really know who Dion Nicholson is

01:06:41.730 --> 01:06:47.190
either. He's got a nice record, 22 -1. There

01:06:47.190 --> 01:06:56.489
you go. All right. Brian Norman Jr. vs. Devin

01:06:56.489 --> 01:06:59.730
Haney. The WBO welterweight title will be on

01:06:59.730 --> 01:07:03.960
the line. I want Norman to spark about so bad.

01:07:04.059 --> 01:07:07.500
I would love nothing more than for Brian Norman

01:07:07.500 --> 01:07:16.980
to just look to Sasaki, Devin Haney. It would

01:07:16.980 --> 01:07:21.260
be great. I don't think it's going to happen,

01:07:21.340 --> 01:07:26.300
but it would be great. Yeah, would be nice. Haney

01:07:26.300 --> 01:07:31.039
has been wobbled. I just feel like Haney's going

01:07:31.039 --> 01:07:33.739
to be a little scared and box super conservative.

01:07:34.139 --> 01:07:40.619
And I don't know if Norman Jr. can counteract

01:07:40.619 --> 01:07:43.059
that enough to land something big if the opponent

01:07:43.059 --> 01:07:48.880
doesn't want him to. I didn't think about that

01:07:48.880 --> 01:07:54.400
angle. Devin Haney boxing conservatively. Kind

01:07:54.400 --> 01:07:57.400
of puts a damper on my hopes and dreams here.

01:07:58.440 --> 01:08:01.139
It kind of puts a damper on the excitement level.

01:08:01.420 --> 01:08:04.420
Like, I'm kind of foreseeing a pretty boring

01:08:04.420 --> 01:08:07.199
fight. Well, if anyone's going to stink it out,

01:08:07.239 --> 01:08:14.059
it's going to be Haney. Yeah. Oh, you know what

01:08:14.059 --> 01:08:18.300
won't be a stinker? Bam Rodriguez versus Fernando

01:08:18.300 --> 01:08:23.859
Martinez. This is going to be so exciting. WBC

01:08:23.859 --> 01:08:29.250
and WBO champ Rodriguez. And the WBA champ, Martinez.

01:08:32.130 --> 01:08:35.869
Superflyweight unification. Martinez beat my

01:08:35.869 --> 01:08:39.609
boy. I want Bam to go get my revenge for me.

01:08:40.210 --> 01:08:51.850
Kazuto? Yeah. Yeah. The Osaka bad boy. He's so

01:08:51.850 --> 01:08:58.060
cute with his kids. But... I kind of am hoping

01:08:58.060 --> 01:09:02.560
for and expecting a Bam knockout. Like Bam knocking

01:09:02.560 --> 01:09:10.199
out Puma. I would like for that to happen. I

01:09:10.199 --> 01:09:13.859
think it will. For the Chicano kid to get the

01:09:13.859 --> 01:09:23.739
dub. Moving up. The vacant WBO lightweight title.

01:09:24.710 --> 01:09:30.050
Abula Mason versus Sam Noakes. Sixth and ninth

01:09:30.050 --> 01:09:38.010
on BoxRec. Rip Sam Noakes. Yeah, I'm not seeing

01:09:38.010 --> 01:09:43.189
this going very well for Sam Noakes. I think

01:09:43.189 --> 01:09:49.050
he'll give it a good go, but I just think Mason's

01:09:49.050 --> 01:09:56.340
better. Yeah, Mason too good. Yep. Oh, speaking

01:09:56.340 --> 01:10:00.300
of too good, maybe. Subriel Matias versus Dalton

01:10:00.300 --> 01:10:04.220
Smith. Subriel Matias is the WBC super lightweight

01:10:04.220 --> 01:10:13.399
champion. Oh my goodness. I like Matias. Somebody

01:10:13.399 --> 01:10:18.220
put up a good point that Liam Parrow was able

01:10:18.220 --> 01:10:26.720
to tame the beast. Yeah, do you think Dalton

01:10:26.720 --> 01:10:31.640
Smith is as good a boxer? As Liam Parrow? That's

01:10:31.640 --> 01:10:35.279
not a very high bar to get over. Parrow's more

01:10:35.279 --> 01:10:39.939
of a boxer, though. Like, movement -wise. I don't

01:10:39.939 --> 01:10:43.279
know if Dalton Smith has the movement. I think

01:10:43.279 --> 01:10:47.340
Matthias can walk him down. Brits can be drawn

01:10:47.340 --> 01:10:52.359
into firefights. Getting into a firefight with

01:10:52.359 --> 01:10:56.329
Matthias is a... Dumb idea. I do not recommend

01:10:56.329 --> 01:11:00.770
this. That is highly highly inadvisable at this

01:11:00.770 --> 01:11:12.510
time. But also fun. So please do. Yeah I don't

01:11:12.510 --> 01:11:15.609
think Matias is the unbeatable like force of

01:11:15.609 --> 01:11:18.649
nature that he was originally marketed as but

01:11:18.649 --> 01:11:21.310
I just think I think he can handle Dalton Smith.

01:11:24.880 --> 01:11:31.420
Yeah, I think you're right. Man, speaking of

01:11:31.420 --> 01:11:34.800
Brits that can get drawn into firefights, Anthony

01:11:34.800 --> 01:11:38.220
Yar challenges WBC light heavyweight champion

01:11:38.220 --> 01:11:45.340
David Benavidez. This could be a banger. This,

01:11:45.359 --> 01:11:53.930
I'm... Yeah. Could be. I think it really depends

01:11:53.930 --> 01:11:56.930
on Anthony Yard, because Benavidez is going to

01:11:56.930 --> 01:12:00.090
do what Benavidez does. It's just a matter of

01:12:00.090 --> 01:12:04.310
whether Anthony Yard wants to get himself into

01:12:04.310 --> 01:12:08.670
exchanges with someone who has way faster hands

01:12:08.670 --> 01:12:14.529
than him. Yeah, but Yard's way more skilled.

01:12:15.810 --> 01:12:24.489
You think? I think so. I don't rate Benavidez's

01:12:24.489 --> 01:12:27.550
skills very high. He's a banger. He's not a skills

01:12:27.550 --> 01:12:34.689
guy. But I think this could low -key turn out

01:12:34.689 --> 01:12:43.109
to be really fun. But I am most excited for Bam

01:12:43.109 --> 01:12:45.949
versus Puma on this card. I think that's going

01:12:45.949 --> 01:12:51.859
to be the fight of the night. I'm most excited

01:12:51.859 --> 01:12:56.960
to see Abdullah Mason get a crown. Yeah, I'm

01:12:56.960 --> 01:13:02.739
not that invested in Mason. I am. Young American

01:13:02.739 --> 01:13:05.800
prospect, so... I can see why you're not that

01:13:05.800 --> 01:13:11.100
into it. I don't dislike him, I just... Yeah,

01:13:11.199 --> 01:13:17.479
I get you. I'm more excited about Bam. Bam being

01:13:17.479 --> 01:13:26.789
the triple crown. Yeah. Who's left? Who's the

01:13:26.789 --> 01:13:36.250
IBF guy? I don't know. Let's have a look. That's

01:13:36.250 --> 01:13:48.930
112? 115. Willy Baldo Garcia. Which one is he?

01:13:50.319 --> 01:13:53.600
They have a terrible pitcher there. Can't see

01:13:53.600 --> 01:13:59.399
shit. I know I've watched him a bunch, but Bam

01:13:59.399 --> 01:14:04.600
would definitely beat him quite easily. Oh, he's

01:14:04.600 --> 01:14:12.159
fighting Karadji. Really? In December? Yeah.

01:14:12.380 --> 01:14:17.039
His box rec has him fighting Karadji December

01:14:17.039 --> 01:14:24.680
27th. Which would be the Inoue card, right? December

01:14:24.680 --> 01:14:29.920
what? 26? 26, 27? Yeah, that's the Inoue card.

01:14:31.199 --> 01:14:36.039
Yeah. So, he's not going to have the belt after

01:14:36.039 --> 01:14:41.300
that. Taraji's going to get his ass kicked by

01:14:41.300 --> 01:14:59.270
Bam. shit. That's all we got on the docket. Unless

01:14:59.270 --> 01:15:04.750
you have anything more for ring four? No. That's

01:15:04.750 --> 01:15:06.930
a good card though. I am excited for it. It's

01:15:06.930 --> 01:15:11.449
pretty stacked. Quite. Yeah. That's one that's

01:15:11.449 --> 01:15:16.869
worth the pay -per -view cost. What if your best

01:15:16.869 --> 01:15:19.569
thinking day wasn't a lucky accident? What if

01:15:19.569 --> 01:15:22.109
you could access that clarity, that sharp focus,

01:15:22.289 --> 01:15:24.729
that feeling of being completely on whenever

01:15:24.729 --> 01:15:27.529
you need it? We live in a world of distraction

01:15:27.529 --> 01:15:30.989
where mental fog can settle in before noon. You

01:15:30.989 --> 01:15:33.550
need a natural edge, a simple way to clear the

01:15:33.550 --> 01:15:36.689
noise and elevate your mind. Introducing psilocybin,

01:15:36.789 --> 01:15:38.869
the daily supplement powered by extraordinary

01:15:38.869 --> 01:15:42.420
magic mushrooms. For centuries, these mushrooms

01:15:42.420 --> 01:15:44.520
have been revered for the unique compounds that

01:15:44.520 --> 01:15:48.939
support brain health in very groovy ways. Psilocybin

01:15:48.939 --> 01:15:51.340
has harnessed that power, making it easy to integrate

01:15:51.340 --> 01:15:54.680
it into your daily routine. When you take psilocybin,

01:15:54.819 --> 01:15:57.260
you're not getting a jolt of caffeine or a rush

01:15:57.260 --> 01:16:00.180
of sugar. You're nurturing your mind's long -term

01:16:00.180 --> 01:16:03.239
health and inner tranquility. Experience better

01:16:03.239 --> 01:16:06.520
focus for complex tasks, sharper memory recall,

01:16:06.640 --> 01:16:09.079
or a consistent, calmer energy throughout the

01:16:09.079 --> 01:16:12.590
day. Whatever you need, Soul Simon has a supplement

01:16:12.590 --> 01:16:15.470

The food on your plate. The plants in the garden.

01:16:38.380 --> 01:16:40.640
They all depend on one tiny little hero, the

01:16:40.640 --> 01:16:43.680
honeybee. But bees are struggling, and the health

01:16:43.680 --> 01:16:46.380
of our planet is at stake, not to mention a third

01:16:46.380 --> 01:16:49.079
of what's on our dinner plate. Project Honeybee

01:16:49.079 --> 01:16:51.140
steps in with the belief that saving the bees

01:16:51.140 --> 01:16:53.939
can start with something beautiful. With a catalog

01:16:53.939 --> 01:16:57.199
of stunning bee -themed jewelry, necklaces, earrings,

01:16:57.319 --> 01:16:59.319
and charms that capture the spirit of the hive.

01:16:59.880 --> 01:17:02.520
When you wear a piece from Project Honeybees,

01:17:02.640 --> 01:17:05.439
you're not just wearing art, you're wearing your

01:17:05.439 --> 01:17:08.420
commitment to the buzzing buddies. Every single

01:17:10.699 --> 01:17:14.180
creating safe bee habitats, sponsoring research,

01:17:14.500 --> 01:17:17.460

well. So that's fun. All right, with all that

01:18:23.939 --> 01:18:31.840
said, parting words. It's the CFL playoffs. My

01:18:31.840 --> 01:18:35.699
Rough Riders are playing as we speak, actually.

01:18:37.579 --> 01:18:41.960
And it looks like they're winning. So I'm happy.

01:18:44.020 --> 01:18:46.960
I'm also jealous of your trip. I'm super jealous.

01:18:48.000 --> 01:18:51.640
Yeah, so my parting words is this is the last

01:18:51.640 --> 01:18:57.119
episode of Boxing Before Dark for the rest of

01:18:57.119 --> 01:19:01.039
November. We'll not be back before then. I'm

01:19:01.039 --> 01:19:05.180
going to be out of the country. Going to go get

01:19:05.180 --> 01:19:08.729
some Brit stoppages. Get myself pulled out of

01:19:08.729 --> 01:19:13.430
the fight too early. More than once. Nah, jokes,

01:19:13.569 --> 01:19:16.949
jokes. But yeah, this is the last episode of

01:19:16.949 --> 01:19:19.350
Boxing Before Dark and we'll be back in December

01:19:19.350 --> 01:19:22.609
because there's a lot of fights that are coming

01:19:22.609 --> 01:19:25.149
up in December and a lot of fights that will

01:19:25.149 --> 01:19:28.170
be having to recap like we just talked about.

01:19:29.229 --> 01:19:33.569
Yeah. Are you going to be tweeting during your

01:19:33.569 --> 01:19:39.810
trip? I might be. I'll be Instagramming during

01:19:39.810 --> 01:19:44.590
my trip. Nice. Okay. If nothing else. I should

01:19:44.590 --> 01:19:51.170
post on everything. But, like, does anybody really

01:19:51.170 --> 01:19:53.050
want to see me going to fucking, like, museums

01:19:53.050 --> 01:19:57.090
and shit? Uh -uh. I do, but we're friends. Yeah,

01:19:57.109 --> 01:20:02.029
so it's a little different. Oh, well, we'll see.

01:20:02.069 --> 01:20:06.300
We'll see what goes up on the socials. You do

01:20:06.300 --> 01:20:09.600
have to go for a Chinese. Yeah, that was the

01:20:09.600 --> 01:20:14.199
plan. Liverpool has one of the oldest Chinese

01:20:14.199 --> 01:20:19.039
districts in all of Europe. But that's like probably

01:20:19.039 --> 01:20:21.819
real Chinese food. I mean like Johnny Fisher

01:20:21.819 --> 01:20:26.720
style Chinese. Oh, Big John Bosch. Yeah. Yeah,

01:20:26.760 --> 01:20:29.140
yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, I think that's what I'm

01:20:29.140 --> 01:20:31.300
going to do. I'll try to do that at one point.

01:20:32.800 --> 01:20:40.640
Turns out my hotel in London is like a 20 -minute

01:20:40.640 --> 01:20:46.659
walk from Coco's. I am beyond fucking thrilled.

01:20:48.399 --> 01:20:53.439
Excellent. I'm going to have it like every day,

01:20:53.579 --> 01:20:58.680
twice a day while I'm there. Could I go have

01:20:58.680 --> 01:21:02.460
English food? Sure, I could. But I have... I

01:21:02.460 --> 01:21:06.199
got homies all around. I'm going to be touring

01:21:06.199 --> 01:21:10.880
the country. So they'll hook me up with that.

01:21:11.359 --> 01:21:15.180
I got to get home as well as I can. Fair enough.

01:21:15.680 --> 01:21:18.439
I'm actually super excited. My work friend found

01:21:18.439 --> 01:21:21.840
actual leeks in a grocery store up in Niigata.

01:21:22.000 --> 01:21:25.699
Whoa. And I have been missing chicken leek pie

01:21:25.699 --> 01:21:29.119
so badly. And I can't make a pie, but I can make

01:21:29.119 --> 01:21:31.939
the filling and eat it like stew. And I'm so

01:21:31.939 --> 01:21:41.140
excited. Well, if that's it, then that's it for

01:21:41.140 --> 01:21:44.340
this edition of Boxing Before Dark. My battery

01:21:44.340 --> 01:21:50.619
is getting low. And it is getting dark. We'll

01:21:50.619 --> 01:21:53.380
see you in December. We'll see you in December.
