WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.399 This shit ain't nothing to me, man. This is Boxing 00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:06.660 Before Dark. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Back. Back. 00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:11.279 Back. Back. Back. Before. Before. Before. Before. 00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:15.019 Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing Before Dark. This 00:00:15.019 --> 00:00:27.260 is Boxing Before Dark. Well. Ready? Let's do 00:00:27.260 --> 00:00:33.179 the thing. Boxing Before Dark is back, bitch. 00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:37.560 Took a little time off. Went to the countryside. 00:00:38.060 --> 00:00:41.399 Went to the seaside. Globe traveling. Yeah, had 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:46.500 to do a little globe trotting. Man, it's like 00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:53.899 10, 11 hour flights. Like, non -stop. I don't 00:00:53.899 --> 00:00:56.640 know. I personally, I think I would prefer a 00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:01.840 stop. No, no you don't. I've traveled with lots 00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:08.260 of stops. But sitting cramped for 12 hours straight 00:01:08.260 --> 00:01:11.859 is not very pleasant. I couldn't sleep as shit. 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.700 It takes half the time as if you have a stop. 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:20.239 Yeah, it does take longer. Get to stretch your 00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:27.000 legs. Reload on snacks. I guess. I'm just... 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.560 Just tough it out person. The longer the flight, 00:01:29.620 --> 00:01:35.400 the better. Oh, well, but we're not here for 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.319 my fucking traveling stories. If you want, we 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.540 were talking about it before we started. So you're 00:01:41.540 --> 00:01:43.319 going to have to go to Patreon. Look at that. 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.060 I'm already back in the swing of things. Plug 00:01:46.060 --> 00:01:51.019 in the Patreon. So professional. Yeah, man. Just 00:01:51.019 --> 00:01:55.599 really quickly. How was you went to one 173? 00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.340 I did. It was super cool. I was so devastated 00:02:00.340 --> 00:02:03.920 that Rod Tang didn't fight, though. Yeah, that 00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:08.080 was a bummer. He was like 40 % of why I bought 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.139 a ticket. But I got to see the one -armed Canadian. 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:15.939 Yeah. Peacock. I did see him lose, but that was 00:02:15.939 --> 00:02:19.319 still pretty fun. People, I guess, didn't know 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.400 who he was. I could hear people in the crowd 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:25.370 being like, what arm? Like, oh. And when he punched 00:02:25.370 --> 00:02:28.569 the guy with his nub, the crowd would go wild. 00:02:28.710 --> 00:02:32.990 It was great. But yeah, it was just super fun. 00:02:33.129 --> 00:02:35.770 A super long day, though. Even with the couple 00:02:35.770 --> 00:02:39.789 cancellations, I think there was 17 fights. Jesus. 00:02:40.250 --> 00:02:44.729 So definitely worth the $100. I'll say that. 00:02:46.250 --> 00:02:49.969 But it was a good time. Got to see Superbond. 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.300 That was a long time ago. I don't remember any 00:02:55.300 --> 00:02:59.300 specifics, to be honest. Muay Thai is way better 00:02:59.300 --> 00:03:05.419 than MMA, though. Oh, absolutely. One was a lot 00:03:05.419 --> 00:03:09.199 more fun than Ryzen, and I don't think it's just 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:13.780 because it was a bigger card. Well, kickboxing 00:03:13.780 --> 00:03:18.159 and Muay Thai is all action. Yeah, this one was 00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:21.199 in a cage. It did have some grappling stuff, 00:03:21.460 --> 00:03:28.409 but... Because the ladies... What was... She's 00:03:28.409 --> 00:03:32.490 not the hand. What's the girl's name? Stamp? 00:03:32.689 --> 00:03:40.169 Stamp, yes. She's MMA, right? She competes in 00:03:40.169 --> 00:03:44.050 all the sports for one. Okay, well, it was an 00:03:44.050 --> 00:03:47.289 MMA fight, so I think that was part of it. And 00:03:47.289 --> 00:03:50.889 they had two old Japanese guys go at it. That 00:03:50.889 --> 00:03:58.240 was pretty fun. Yeah, that MMA one. But they 00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.060 weren't doing a whole lot of grappling. And when 00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:02.000 they were grappling, they were actively trying 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:08.039 to submit each other. Yeah, they had one Brazilian 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.199 jiu -jitsu or something. I went to the bathroom 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.580 and bought some beer and stuff. I wasn't sitting 00:04:13.580 --> 00:04:16.800 through that. Oh, yeah. That one, I've been catching 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:20.819 up on the card. I kind of tuned out after like 00:04:20.819 --> 00:04:24.019 three minutes. the arena emptied it was crazy 00:04:24.019 --> 00:04:27.500 like i'd say three quarters of the people went 00:04:27.500 --> 00:04:29.600 to the bathroom during that one intermission 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:34.860 yeah but no the whole card was fun though as 00:04:34.860 --> 00:04:40.120 a whole um japan is really quiet so it didn't 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.680 have the same feel as like watching one on tv 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:48.110 when it's in thailand but Yeah, I did notice 00:04:48.110 --> 00:04:51.290 when I was rewatching that the crowd is not the 00:04:51.290 --> 00:04:54.870 best. Quiet. Yeah. Yeah. There was none of the, 00:04:54.870 --> 00:04:59.470 like, series of knees with people screaming at 00:04:59.470 --> 00:05:07.790 each knee. Yeah. Let's get to some news. Fucking 00:05:07.790 --> 00:05:11.230 not breaking, but breaking my heart. Janubek. 00:05:12.129 --> 00:05:17.660 Piss is hot. What a fucking idiot. Swears up 00:05:17.660 --> 00:05:21.120 and down that he did. I haven't changed my regimen 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.180 at all. The first time I was tested by Vada, 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:31.360 everything came back clean. I haven't changed 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.779 my vitamin regimen or my supplement regimen. 00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:40.079 Yeah. Well, and what did he test positive for? 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.240 It sounded like some fucking radioactive chemical. 00:05:45.039 --> 00:05:47.939 Like Melbonium or something. I haven't. I didn't 00:05:47.939 --> 00:05:51.920 see what it was. The name is funny. Give me a 00:05:51.920 --> 00:06:02.379 second. Everybody just says banned substance. 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.680 Yeah, that's all I've been seeing. Yeah. Nah, 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.079 I saw it. It starts with an M and it sounds radioactive. 00:06:10.259 --> 00:06:16.620 It may very well have been. Anyways, I'm not 00:06:16.620 --> 00:06:22.959 going to find it quickly enough. Yeah, it just... 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:28.139 I mean, I'm not super surprised, but it makes 00:06:28.139 --> 00:06:31.519 me sad. And he just fucked himself. Like, he 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:33.600 already had trouble getting fights. This is going 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:39.579 to make it worse. Yeah, definitely. There's this 00:06:39.579 --> 00:06:44.579 old... Some old post on, I think, Reddit or something 00:06:44.579 --> 00:06:47.540 that I saw is like, what's a life hack or secret 00:06:47.540 --> 00:06:52.639 tip you have? It's whenever there's like a disaster, 00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:59.399 a man -made disaster in whatever region, travel 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:04.000 there because no one wants to go there. So there's 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.160 not going to be a lot of tourists around. Oh, 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.620 yeah, yeah. Security's going to be beefed up 00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:14.139 and everything. If it was like a violent event. 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:18.139 And so I'm thinking now might be the perfect 00:07:18.139 --> 00:07:20.720 time to fight Janabek because he's going to be 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:24.560 under a lot higher scrutiny. That's true. And 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.379 I did find it. The substance is meldonium. You 00:07:28.379 --> 00:07:33.360 almost had that. I was pretty close. Yeah. So 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.920 it just sounds like something at the bottom of 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:41.350 the periodic table. What is that? Maldonium. 00:07:42.410 --> 00:07:53.949 Give me a second. So it was banned in 2016, so 00:07:53.949 --> 00:07:58.029 it's probably pretty new. And it's famous from 00:07:58.029 --> 00:08:04.889 Russia and the Eastern Bloc. Cardiovascular, 00:08:04.990 --> 00:08:09.069 neurological, and medical conditions is the... 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.660 Proper use. So I assume it helps with your cardiovascular. 00:08:14.379 --> 00:08:19.379 Yeah, stamina. Stamina, yeah. It's a metabolic 00:08:19.379 --> 00:08:23.339 modulator altering enzyme reactions in the body. 00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:29.019 Maria Sharapova used meldonium before the bat. 00:08:31.699 --> 00:08:36.519 That explains that. She was really successful 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:40.840 in her... She was a tennis player? uh yep yeah 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:44.500 okay because well before it before it was banned 00:08:44.500 --> 00:08:48.940 uh people just used it openly because it wasn't 00:08:48.940 --> 00:08:55.299 yeah because it wasn't yeah so so it's proper 00:08:55.299 --> 00:08:58.279 uses to treat problems with brain circulation 00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:05.399 uh and has been reported to improve mood motor 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:12.019 symptoms dizziness and nausea so Anyways, it's 00:09:12.019 --> 00:09:17.279 an old school Eastern Bloc performance enhancer, 00:09:17.340 --> 00:09:21.840 which tracks for Janabek, I guess. Yeah, that's 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:23.639 what I was thinking. He's from Kazakhstan, so 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:28.139 it kind of makes sense. But it's been around 00:09:28.139 --> 00:09:32.299 since the, I think, 80s, but only got banned 00:09:32.299 --> 00:09:39.429 in 2016. Nobody agrees if it actually enhances 00:09:39.429 --> 00:09:44.950 your performance or not. Interesting. Bro science. 00:09:46.070 --> 00:09:50.570 Yeah. Speaking of testing positive, though, Matias 00:09:50.570 --> 00:09:54.509 popped for Osterine. But then he didn't. Yeah, 00:09:54.570 --> 00:09:56.470 I was going to say, like, I saw that he was in 00:09:56.470 --> 00:09:59.789 trouble, but then he wasn't. Yeah. I don't know. 00:09:59.850 --> 00:10:06.559 I wasn't in my phone at that time. I haven't 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:09.559 gotten, I don't think anybody has really said 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:16.080 why they say it wasn't a problem. So they changed 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:19.299 their mind in three days. So it's not because 00:10:19.299 --> 00:10:23.360 of an investigation or anything. And he did test 00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:26.820 very low, like Ryan Garcia. But I wonder if the 00:10:26.820 --> 00:10:33.340 B sample came in not positive. Everybody reported 00:10:33.340 --> 00:10:36.440 the A sample was positive, and then the B sample 00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:43.019 wasn't. But I haven't seen anything concrete 00:10:43.019 --> 00:10:45.759 on that, but that's the only reasonable explanation 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:49.299 I can think of for the three -day turnaround 00:10:49.299 --> 00:10:56.220 on him not being in trouble. But, who was it? 00:10:56.299 --> 00:11:01.080 It wasn't VADA that said it wasn't an issue, 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:06.159 it was... Is it the WBC? It was the belt organization. 00:11:06.299 --> 00:11:09.539 Yeah, I remember seeing that. That they weren't 00:11:09.539 --> 00:11:12.360 going to hold it against him. Yeah, that's also 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:15.960 very weird. So probably they just don't want 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:20.580 to cancel the... Because he's Puerto Rican? Cuban? 00:11:20.820 --> 00:11:24.279 Puerto Rican. They don't want to cancel the main 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:27.620 event on their Puerto Rican card. I think is 00:11:27.620 --> 00:11:32.919 all it is. But people are especially pissed that 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:38.340 Matias popped because that guy died after their 00:11:38.340 --> 00:11:42.759 fight. So now everybody's calling him a murderer 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:48.659 because he probably was on steroids when he killed 00:11:48.659 --> 00:11:51.899 a guy. I don't think you can do that, but... 00:11:51.899 --> 00:11:57.759 I mean... That's a little bit of a reach. Yeah. 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:05.399 Man, but it comes with the, like, my personal 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:10.159 mantra of, like, everyone's on something. Yeah. 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:18.779 So. Yeah, I, this looks really, like, belt corruption 00:12:18.779 --> 00:12:23.379 to me, so I'm not very happy about it, but it 00:12:23.379 --> 00:12:28.110 is what it is, I guess. Hmm. I don't know if 00:12:28.110 --> 00:12:31.470 this is speaking of belt corruption, but Moses 00:12:31.470 --> 00:12:37.730 Atauma and Lawrence Okoli are... Are a WBC eliminator. 00:12:37.990 --> 00:12:46.590 Fun. Is it? No. No, I can only hope that Atauma 00:12:46.590 --> 00:12:54.149 puts Okoli out early. Okoli is so boring. He's 00:12:54.149 --> 00:13:01.110 a negative fighter, for sure. But at least they're 00:13:01.110 --> 00:13:06.649 both coming off of wins. For a Tauma, yes. But 00:13:06.649 --> 00:13:09.210 for like a Koli, I guess you can call that a 00:13:09.210 --> 00:13:13.070 win. I mean, he's had a couple wins in a row. 00:13:13.169 --> 00:13:16.950 They're just not very good competition. I think. 00:13:16.990 --> 00:13:20.629 And they're not very exciting to watch. Yeah, 00:13:20.690 --> 00:13:23.049 he's got three wins in a row. So I can't really 00:13:23.049 --> 00:13:31.809 complain about that. It's weird that Okoli ends 00:13:31.809 --> 00:13:33.929 up in that position. Well, no, not so much. You 00:13:33.929 --> 00:13:36.169 said he's got three wins in a row. Heavyweight 00:13:36.169 --> 00:13:40.250 is desperate for anyone they can get. He's got 00:13:40.250 --> 00:13:48.169 the WBC silver. Okoli does? Yeah. Okay, so he's 00:13:48.169 --> 00:13:53.409 earned it. Kind of. Yeah, I do not care about 00:13:53.409 --> 00:13:56.149 this fight for many reasons, but Okoli is so 00:13:56.149 --> 00:14:01.289 fucking boring. Some other orders from the WBC. 00:14:02.090 --> 00:14:06.070 Ben Whitaker versus Joshua Buozzi. I think this 00:14:06.070 --> 00:14:12.769 is a good step up for Whitaker. Yeah. I gotta 00:14:12.769 --> 00:14:18.169 look up which one is Buozzi. I forget what he 00:14:18.169 --> 00:14:23.690 looks like. Callum Smith. I think that was his 00:14:23.690 --> 00:14:30.419 first loss. Yeah, yeah. I recognize him. Obviously, 00:14:30.419 --> 00:14:35.159 I recognize him, but I just need a picture. Yeah, 00:14:35.259 --> 00:14:37.460 that could be fun. I kind of hope Whitaker loses. 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:40.159 He's not going to, but I kind of hope he does. 00:14:42.580 --> 00:14:45.419 He hasn't been doing a whole lot of the dancing 00:14:45.419 --> 00:14:49.340 shit, though, has he? No, I just don't like him. 00:14:51.059 --> 00:14:53.960 He's the one who pulled the guy over and then 00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:58.179 hurt himself, right? Yes. Yeah. Come on, Leo. 00:14:58.259 --> 00:15:01.320 You can't cheer for that. I liked him when he 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:04.259 was doing the dancing stuff. I didn't like him 00:15:04.259 --> 00:15:10.100 then either. Emmanuel Augustus 2 .0. No. Not 00:15:10.100 --> 00:15:14.700 nearly as cool as Emmanuel Augustus. Another 00:15:14.700 --> 00:15:19.620 one. Mbili vs Shiraz. I wanted the rematch. I 00:15:19.620 --> 00:15:24.659 did too. This is actually a good fight, yes. 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:30.399 Lester Martinez and Mbili got unsettled business. 00:15:31.700 --> 00:15:35.539 Yeah. Well, and Lester Martinez, I think, will 00:15:35.539 --> 00:15:39.259 win the rematch. I think Mbili's slightly ducking 00:15:39.259 --> 00:15:44.460 here. Lester was making good adjustments and 00:15:44.460 --> 00:15:54.740 Mbili was not. What's this an eliminator for 00:15:54.740 --> 00:16:02.580 again? 168? Which would be Crawford now, right? 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:08.059 Yes. Well, no. Not anymore. Oh, right. No, not 00:16:08.059 --> 00:16:10.659 anymore. Because Crawford got stripped of the 00:16:10.659 --> 00:16:14.940 WBC. Because he didn't want to pay extortion 00:16:14.940 --> 00:16:21.500 fees. Whiny. I think the... They were talking 00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:25.360 about it in Discord an hour or so ago. About 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:29.419 how the other organizations have set percentages 00:16:29.419 --> 00:16:35.200 that they take of purses. And the WBC doesn't. 00:16:35.779 --> 00:16:40.899 And they take a percentage of overall income, 00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.039 I guess. Okay, that does sound kind of shit. 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:50.759 Yeah, it's a little funky. I think Terrence Crawford 00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:52.600 was good. It was a good move to stand on his 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.860 business for that one because like he paid the 00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:56.799 other ones. So it's not like he doesn't want 00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:59.980 to just he just doesn't want to pay the sanctioning 00:16:59.980 --> 00:17:04.559 fees. Right. He just doesn't agree with the WBC. 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:08.799 Yeah. They're wanting a bigger slice for reasons. 00:17:11.500 --> 00:17:16.000 Yeah. No, I hadn't. I hadn't heard the specifics 00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:19.490 there. I guess that makes sense. Like, I assumed 00:17:19.490 --> 00:17:21.609 it was also a set percentage. He just didn't 00:17:21.609 --> 00:17:25.230 like how high the percentage was. But if it's 00:17:25.230 --> 00:17:28.710 not, that's... They don't operate the same as 00:17:28.710 --> 00:17:34.750 everyone else. Yeah, I can see his point. Tinfoil 00:17:34.750 --> 00:17:36.829 hat. They're saying that, like, the chat was 00:17:36.829 --> 00:17:41.089 saying that, like, the WBC is intentionally making 00:17:41.089 --> 00:17:45.809 shit look really bad to give Turkey and Dana 00:17:45.809 --> 00:17:49.269 White... better clearance for the Oli reform? 00:17:50.950 --> 00:17:54.869 Yeah, I saw not just on Discord. I saw that in 00:17:54.869 --> 00:17:59.529 a couple places. They might use Terrence Crawford 00:17:59.529 --> 00:18:02.710 for that, but I don't know if Terrence is doing 00:18:02.710 --> 00:18:06.069 that on purpose. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. 00:18:08.049 --> 00:18:13.190 His situation is just convenient for them. Yeah. 00:18:13.869 --> 00:18:17.250 He has been having a bit of a meltdown on Twitter, 00:18:17.329 --> 00:18:20.930 though, that I have not been following. Because 00:18:20.930 --> 00:18:23.390 one of the things I like about Terrence is he's 00:18:23.390 --> 00:18:25.890 usually pretty quiet and just does his stuff. 00:18:26.089 --> 00:18:29.609 I follow him on Instagram where he's not crazy. 00:18:29.809 --> 00:18:35.069 He just puts up training videos and hunting videos 00:18:35.069 --> 00:18:37.430 and stuff. Because he likes to hunt and fish. 00:18:37.670 --> 00:18:42.210 But his Twitter seems to have gone off last week. 00:18:43.410 --> 00:18:46.289 Yeah, I guess that's the difference between the 00:18:46.289 --> 00:18:49.549 two platforms, because I don't use Twitter either, 00:18:49.730 --> 00:18:52.789 so I don't really know the full extent of the 00:18:52.789 --> 00:18:59.109 meltdown, or what he's been saying. Yeah, I guess 00:18:59.109 --> 00:19:02.170 probably the guys over on B -Sides will have 00:19:02.170 --> 00:19:06.369 Twitter. Yeah. I can't imagine that Alex doesn't 00:19:06.369 --> 00:19:19.529 have Twitter. Hmm. Usyk wants to fight Deontay 00:19:19.529 --> 00:19:26.410 Wilder. Nice. Is this a good move? I think Usyk 00:19:26.410 --> 00:19:29.470 should retire. I've said this a bunch. Who's 00:19:29.470 --> 00:19:32.650 left that he actually needs to beat? Fucking 00:19:32.650 --> 00:19:39.250 nobody. He's beat everybody twice. If I were 00:19:39.250 --> 00:19:43.019 to say anyone, I would say Deontay Wilder. But 00:19:43.019 --> 00:19:47.500 with his recent history, kind of puts that out 00:19:47.500 --> 00:19:53.099 of the picture. Yeah, like, I can kind of see 00:19:53.099 --> 00:19:57.380 it. He's the last big name from that era that 00:19:57.380 --> 00:20:01.779 Usyk hasn't fought. But Wilder has looked so 00:20:01.779 --> 00:20:07.339 shit lately. Yeah, exactly. That I don't, I guess 00:20:07.339 --> 00:20:10.490 in history people will forget. And it'll look 00:20:10.490 --> 00:20:13.769 like another good name on his resume in like 00:20:13.769 --> 00:20:18.569 10, 20 years. But right now, I don't think it 00:20:18.569 --> 00:20:23.670 adds anything to U6's resume. Not fighting Deontay 00:20:23.670 --> 00:20:26.589 Wilder in 2026. It just doesn't mean anything 00:20:26.589 --> 00:20:30.769 to me. Yeah, I don't see a lot of value. Well, 00:20:30.829 --> 00:20:35.990 there's money to be made here, I suppose. I don't 00:20:35.990 --> 00:20:41.339 even know if it will sell that good. Hmm. Maybe. 00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:44.140 Maybe the casuals that haven't seen Wilder fight 00:20:44.140 --> 00:20:48.720 in a few years. Three years. Yeah. Like, if the 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:54.059 last Wilder fight you saw was Fury 3, maybe you 00:20:54.059 --> 00:20:56.960 would be excited. But, like, even if they saw 00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:01.259 Zhang beat the crap out of him, I don't... I 00:21:01.259 --> 00:21:03.099 don't know if they would be excited to see Usyk 00:21:03.099 --> 00:21:07.279 do the same thing. Or if you saw Parker piece 00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:12.059 him up. You want to see Usyk do it better? I 00:21:12.059 --> 00:21:14.960 think Usyk might actually get the knockout. But, 00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:19.660 like, it's not going to be a stunning, like, 00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:22.740 knockout. It's going to be an accumulation make 00:21:22.740 --> 00:21:27.359 you sad for Wilder knockout. Like, I don't know. 00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:30.279 I guess somebody's excited for this. I am not 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.119 excited for this. I would rather see Usyk fight. 00:21:33.900 --> 00:21:36.279 Well, I wanted to see Usyk fight Parker, but 00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:42.819 Parker fucked that up, so... What was the... 00:21:42.819 --> 00:21:49.240 Howard Foster? Was that the referee? For Wardley... 00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:55.079 Wardley Parker? Yeah. Yeah. I still say he fucked 00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:58.259 it up. Well, he did. Yeah. That was the most 00:21:58.259 --> 00:22:03.789 Brit of Brit stoppages ever. You can't stop a 00:22:03.789 --> 00:22:08.470 fight after four misses. Like, the last punch 00:22:08.470 --> 00:22:13.190 landed in that fight was from Parker. Such a 00:22:13.190 --> 00:22:19.950 shit stoppage. What else do we have on here? 00:22:21.170 --> 00:22:27.210 Callum Smith and David Morrell are all but set. 00:22:27.589 --> 00:22:31.819 It's all but official. I like Callum Smith, but 00:22:31.819 --> 00:22:36.700 he's getting to the end. Yeah. If you know what 00:22:36.700 --> 00:22:39.140 I mean. Yeah, he's towards the end of his career. 00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:44.599 Unfortunate, but that's the way it goes. Yeah, 00:22:44.660 --> 00:22:49.880 I just... I want Callum Smith to win. And he 00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:52.019 might. I don't think he's completely washed. 00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:58.119 But this might be a good fight. David Murrell 00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:01.380 looks shaky. Even though the guy was on every 00:23:01.380 --> 00:23:11.480 PED in the pantry, or in the cupboard. He looked 00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:15.440 shaky, but eh. I hope Callum Smith can pull something 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.579 out. I would like him to get this win. Would 00:23:19.579 --> 00:23:22.920 that seal David Morrell's career? Like relegate 00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:28.279 him to the B tier? It might. Like, losing to 00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:31.680 Callum Smith now, it's gonna hurt you. That's 00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:40.460 a bad sign. Yeah, like... But... Yeah, Callum 00:23:40.460 --> 00:23:42.779 Smith's just getting too old, I think. I know 00:23:42.779 --> 00:23:46.759 he's not, like, ancient, but... He's taken a 00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:55.339 couple pretty bad beatings, I think. Ooh, he 00:23:55.339 --> 00:23:57.099 is pretty ancient, actually. I take it back. 00:23:57.299 --> 00:24:00.180 I know the higher weight classes, you get to 00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:05.400 be older, but he's 35. That's still, like, up 00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:09.200 there in years. Yeah. Well, and he took an ass 00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:12.079 -kicking from Canelo, and he took an ass -kicking 00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:17.740 from Beterbiev. Like... Gotta add up, right? 00:24:18.859 --> 00:24:21.480 Yeah. He's been doing alright, though, hasn't 00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:25.789 he? He's been putting them together. He's had 00:24:25.789 --> 00:24:31.910 two wins. Yeah, but... I mean... Carlos Galvin, 00:24:32.069 --> 00:24:37.650 and then he beat Buatsi. Surprised me in the 00:24:37.650 --> 00:24:43.009 Buatsi fight. I was so happy. That was a pretty 00:24:43.009 --> 00:24:45.609 clear win, too, I thought. I know one of the 00:24:45.609 --> 00:24:49.789 cards was really close, but... Competitive, but 00:24:49.789 --> 00:24:54.019 clear. Yeah. I don't know. I hope Calum Smith 00:24:54.019 --> 00:24:57.059 pulls out another win. I don't have any feelings 00:24:57.059 --> 00:24:59.859 about David Morrell, so if it ruins his career, 00:24:59.960 --> 00:25:04.039 I'm okay with that. Eat shit, David Morrell. 00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:08.220 That's what I just heard. Yeah, yeah. That's 00:25:08.220 --> 00:25:13.740 what everybody heard. You know who can eat shit? 00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:16.619 I know we're not there yet, but tension can eat 00:25:16.619 --> 00:25:21.819 shit. I'm eating Dookie right there with him. 00:25:23.339 --> 00:25:26.420 I don't know if this is eating shit, but this 00:25:26.420 --> 00:25:29.440 is not the most impressive class for the Hall 00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:33.319 of Fame. Triple G, 100%. I'm 100 % behind that. 00:25:33.980 --> 00:25:38.480 But Nigel Benn and Antonio Tarver, I'm not too 00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:45.140 sure about either of those. See, I don't think 00:25:45.140 --> 00:25:48.099 any of them are super strong contenders. I don't 00:25:48.099 --> 00:25:51.799 know if Triple G should be first ballot. To be 00:25:51.799 --> 00:26:00.000 honest. Like, he was really good, but was he 00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.859 amazing? Or did he just have really fun fights? 00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:11.539 Really fun fights. I think some of the intangibles 00:26:11.539 --> 00:26:15.890 here, like, He lost the biggest ones, though. 00:26:18.930 --> 00:26:22.369 Well, he lost the Canelo one. Yeah, two Canelos, 00:26:22.430 --> 00:26:27.910 I guess. I do think Triple G should be in the 00:26:27.910 --> 00:26:29.869 Hall of Fame. I just don't know if he's first 00:26:29.869 --> 00:26:39.369 ballot. I'd have made him wait. I'd have made 00:26:39.369 --> 00:26:44.960 Antonio Tarver wait. Is this his first time up 00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:50.779 for it? It's gotta be more than the first, not 00:26:50.779 --> 00:26:54.279 the first time. He's been inactive for quite 00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:58.559 some time. Yeah. So has Nigel Benn, obviously. 00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:05.180 Nigel Benn, I'm fine with him getting in. Mostly 00:27:05.180 --> 00:27:12.259 just... I guess because of the rivalry with Eubank. 00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:19.220 Like... That's been fun. And I think now is a 00:27:19.220 --> 00:27:22.019 good time to put him in after his son had the... 00:27:22.019 --> 00:27:29.099 Whatever. Yeah. But Antonio Tarver, I'm not gonna 00:27:29.099 --> 00:27:31.799 lie, I'm not 100 % sure who Antonio Tarver is. 00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:34.200 I don't think I ever watched any of his fights. 00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:38.490 He fell in that time when I just... Didn't watch 00:27:38.490 --> 00:27:43.589 boxing as much as I do. I only watched the small 00:27:43.589 --> 00:27:47.950 weight classes when he was fighting. You got 00:27:47.950 --> 00:27:54.210 any excuses tonight, Roy? Oh, okay. Yeah, I know 00:27:54.210 --> 00:28:00.250 who he is. He's also in Rocky 6. I did not watch 00:28:00.250 --> 00:28:05.589 Rocky 6. It's too many. I think it's good. I 00:28:05.589 --> 00:28:08.329 think it's worth watching. If you're not doing 00:28:08.329 --> 00:28:11.750 anything else, then it's worth giving it a gander. 00:28:16.130 --> 00:28:18.789 Yeah, I don't have an opinion on Tarver because 00:28:18.789 --> 00:28:23.130 I don't know enough about him, I guess. But they 00:28:23.130 --> 00:28:26.430 have him as a color commentator sometimes, right? 00:28:26.690 --> 00:28:32.069 Yes. Yeah. That's the other thing. Like, I guess 00:28:32.069 --> 00:28:37.380 Triple G does a lot of amateur stuff. Outside 00:28:37.380 --> 00:28:40.940 of just boxing, he's been good for boxing. Yes. 00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:45.900 Because he got elected as the president of something, 00:28:46.019 --> 00:28:51.660 right? I think the Asia Boxing Association. I 00:28:51.660 --> 00:28:55.099 think he got really recently, like last week. 00:28:55.440 --> 00:29:03.000 Yeah. President of the National Olympic Committee. 00:29:03.940 --> 00:29:11.880 No, that was last year. I swear to God, he just 00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:14.380 got elected to something. Yeah, I saw it on Instagram. 00:29:14.579 --> 00:29:19.319 He got something. I think it was... World Boxing 00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:23.480 President. Okay. That's what it is. World President 00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:31.980 of Boxing. Yep. Man, I... Yeah, so he's going 00:29:31.980 --> 00:29:34.339 to be in charge of amateur boxing going into 00:29:34.339 --> 00:29:45.160 the Olympics. Nice. Yeah. I got ghosted by his 00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:49.339 energy drink company. I was trying to order some. 00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:54.160 Yeah. And they stopped replying. I don't think 00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:57.839 they ship to the U .S., do they? Small amounts, 00:29:58.940 --> 00:30:08.400 yes, but they don't sell commercially here. Oh, 00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:11.960 I think that's all we got in the news. Yeah, 00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:14.279 I'm sure we missed some stuff, but we can always 00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:20.940 bring it back. Well, let me throw some notes 00:30:20.940 --> 00:30:25.579 in here. Fucking social media handle, LVX Media 00:30:25.579 --> 00:30:31.700 Net, all one word. It's a fucking blast. It's 00:30:31.700 --> 00:30:36.259 not really a blast. Follow us anyway.

You know what was 00:33:47.009 --> 00:33:53.410 fucking cool? I went up to the beer counter and 00:33:53.410 --> 00:33:57.170 I had been buying two at a time. Yeah, easy to 00:33:57.170 --> 00:34:00.150 carry. That's what I'm used to. You're only allowed 00:34:00.150 --> 00:34:03.589 to buy two in the U .S. You can't buy more. Only 00:34:03.589 --> 00:34:06.309 two? That's crazy. If you buy more, you have 00:34:06.309 --> 00:34:10.550 to have other people there with you. The States 00:34:10.550 --> 00:34:13.989 is so lame about alcohol. It's weird. It sucks. 00:34:14.610 --> 00:34:20.269 So I asked, can I get whatever the brew was? 00:34:20.309 --> 00:34:23.429 I forgot the name. Like Madrid or something like 00:34:23.429 --> 00:34:26.409 that? And they're like, how many do you want? 00:34:26.530 --> 00:34:29.369 I'm like, shit, how many can I get? I'm like, 00:34:29.409 --> 00:34:31.150 you can get up to four. And they put a little 00:34:31.150 --> 00:34:34.610 carrier. I'm like, oh, fuck me. I can get four 00:34:34.610 --> 00:34:39.050 of these? That's what Canada does at university 00:34:39.050 --> 00:34:43.110 games. And the rider games, you can get six. 00:34:43.670 --> 00:34:47.449 Jesus. Well, they assume it's not just for you. 00:34:48.929 --> 00:34:53.389 That's a poor assumption on their part. uh like 00:34:53.389 --> 00:34:57.969 i was there i got there for first belt um i was 00:34:57.969 --> 00:35:02.389 waiting outside to get in and whatever i was 00:35:02.389 --> 00:35:05.369 there for first belt so like there was nobody 00:35:05.369 --> 00:35:12.170 else there it was really sparsely uh the crowd 00:35:12.170 --> 00:35:15.170 was really sparse but they always are at the 00:35:15.170 --> 00:35:18.190 beginning so i was getting like four of them 00:35:18.190 --> 00:35:21.539 and So I'm just sitting there by myself with 00:35:21.539 --> 00:35:24.800 my beers. Like, there's nobody else around. Like, 00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:28.500 man, this is cool. And then you accidentally 00:35:28.500 --> 00:35:30.460 drink them too fast because they're just sitting 00:35:30.460 --> 00:35:32.440 there. And you might spill them if you don't. 00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:35.880 Somebody spilled one of my beers, actually. Yeah. 00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:42.139 He replaced it for me, but it was all good. So 00:35:42.139 --> 00:35:47.260 Mikey Talon gets the KO5 over Faison Shahid. 00:35:48.489 --> 00:35:50.949 I don't know either of these people. Yeah, it 00:35:50.949 --> 00:35:58.489 was, they were like, whatever, kids. These aren't 00:35:58.489 --> 00:36:02.269 in running order. I just kind of, the order I 00:36:02.269 --> 00:36:06.610 had them in before. Richard Reakpour knocked 00:36:06.610 --> 00:36:12.230 out Tommy Welsh in two. By that point, I remember 00:36:12.230 --> 00:36:15.449 the guys, people were starting to fill in around 00:36:15.449 --> 00:36:18.889 me. And they're like, I just hear like, who are 00:36:18.889 --> 00:36:25.210 these people? Yeah. All right. That's fun. Uh, 00:36:25.349 --> 00:36:29.429 Ishmael Davis versus Sam Gilly. Uh, there was 00:36:29.429 --> 00:36:35.130 a lot of cheering for Sam Gilly. Yeah. Yeah. 00:36:35.210 --> 00:36:45.300 That's too bad. He lost. Um, Adam Azim. stops 00:36:45.300 --> 00:36:50.860 kurt scooby and 12. this was where i was starting 00:36:50.860 --> 00:36:55.199 to feel my drinks a little bit i was i i said 00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:57.960 in i said in the chat you if you can hear the 00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:01.059 crowd you're gonna hear one lone voice cheering 00:37:01.059 --> 00:37:04.519 for kurt scooby and it's gonna be me and it was 00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:09.099 true yep there's a little like uh there were 00:37:09.099 --> 00:37:10.780 some people booing just because they said he's 00:37:10.780 --> 00:37:15.639 from the u .s but yeah whatever and it was it 00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:20.420 went poorly kurt scooby um just could not find 00:37:20.420 --> 00:37:24.500 an answer for anything adamazine was doing um 00:37:24.500 --> 00:37:27.880 the guy sitting in front of me they heard me 00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:30.000 cheering for for scooby and they're like why 00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:34.119 are you cheering for him like because uh i'm 00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:36.539 american too and they're like oh shit you're 00:37:36.539 --> 00:37:41.969 american yeah been here the whole time yeah You 00:37:41.969 --> 00:37:47.090 didn't notice. Yeah. And then they turned and 00:37:47.090 --> 00:37:49.230 looked at me with these shit -eating grins. I'm 00:37:49.230 --> 00:37:52.110 like, you motherfuckers. Like, yeah, you got 00:37:52.110 --> 00:37:56.309 it. You were right. But I remember the chat saying 00:37:56.309 --> 00:38:02.329 Adam Azeem is someone we should start taking 00:38:02.329 --> 00:38:07.269 seriously. Yeah. I kind of thought people were 00:38:07.269 --> 00:38:09.909 taking him seriously before this, but I guess 00:38:09.909 --> 00:38:13.920 not. Not as much. Like, the Lipinets was a good 00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:19.019 win, but this was, like, better. This was definitely 00:38:19.019 --> 00:38:23.880 better, yeah. Like, Kurt Scooby is decent competition 00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:30.119 for most people. Yes. So, somebody, Britt to 00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:35.340 keep an eye on at 140 now. So, that's fun. The 00:38:35.340 --> 00:38:38.320 Assassin. That's way too cool of a nickname for 00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:48.880 him. For Azim? Yeah. Triple A? I guess. Oh boy, 00:38:49.019 --> 00:38:55.099 Jack Catterall stops Ekow Esumen in 11. Yeah, 00:38:55.179 --> 00:38:59.659 this was a hard watch. It was. I was feeling 00:38:59.659 --> 00:39:02.539 myself at this point, so I was like, I was all 00:39:02.539 --> 00:39:05.159 over it. I'm like, Jack Catterall is training 00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:09.750 with Bozy. Bozy Ennis. He went out to Philly. 00:39:09.809 --> 00:39:13.369 He's going to do the silly shell. It was about 00:39:13.369 --> 00:39:16.289 this fight that I realized that everybody sitting 00:39:16.289 --> 00:39:20.869 around me were casual fans. It took you this 00:39:20.869 --> 00:39:24.570 long to realize? Well, we were talking boxing, 00:39:24.690 --> 00:39:28.909 so I was like, okay. They seem to be passionate 00:39:28.909 --> 00:39:34.429 fans. Fair enough. No, let me rephrase that. 00:39:34.550 --> 00:39:36.789 It's not that I realized they were casuals. It's 00:39:36.789 --> 00:39:40.110 that I realized I was a fucking nerd. You're 00:39:40.110 --> 00:39:42.389 a degenerate. Yeah, I'm a degenerate. Because 00:39:42.389 --> 00:39:44.530 I'm sitting here talking about Jack Carroll's 00:39:44.530 --> 00:39:49.929 new trainer. This is true. This happens to me 00:39:49.929 --> 00:39:57.230 a lot. I got blank stares. Their faces went blank. 00:39:57.409 --> 00:39:58.989 They're like, what the fuck are you talking about? 00:39:59.210 --> 00:40:02.750 I'm like, man, I'm the... I'm the fucking weirdo 00:40:02.750 --> 00:40:07.150 here. You did fly across the ocean to go to a 00:40:07.150 --> 00:40:10.210 boxing match. I mean. It just so happened to 00:40:10.210 --> 00:40:12.710 be happening while I was there. So I did plan 00:40:12.710 --> 00:40:16.590 around it. Since. Yeah. Since it was there. I 00:40:16.590 --> 00:40:21.550 made plans. Yeah. I just mean like boxing was 00:40:21.550 --> 00:40:24.150 important enough to you. Oh, yes. To work it 00:40:24.150 --> 00:40:29.239 into your holiday. Yep. Lots of people will be 00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:31.679 like, oh, guess I'm going to miss the Eubank 00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:36.059 -Ben rematch because I'm on holiday. Nope, I'm 00:40:36.059 --> 00:40:39.000 going to go. I'm fucking going to it. I'm going 00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:41.280 to figure out how to ride the goddamn subway, 00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:48.159 the tube. Yeah, I'm not going to lie. I fell 00:40:48.159 --> 00:40:50.440 asleep partway through this one. Had to rewatch 00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:53.820 it. The cards are just at a bad time for me. 00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:56.519 Yeah, I was going to say, that's understandable. 00:40:57.449 --> 00:40:59.429 It's not because the fight was that bad, but 00:40:59.429 --> 00:41:02.329 it did make me sad. I liked cheering for Esuvin, 00:41:02.429 --> 00:41:04.409 even though I didn't think he was going to win. 00:41:06.570 --> 00:41:14.170 But is Jack Catterall back? He might be. But, 00:41:14.250 --> 00:41:17.170 like, do I care? I think is the bigger question. 00:41:17.989 --> 00:41:23.530 I don't like Jack Catterall. It's another competitor 00:41:23.530 --> 00:41:26.429 at welterweight, which is kind of lacking, so. 00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:32.980 I guess. I mean, if Jack Catterall, what weight 00:41:32.980 --> 00:41:35.940 class are all the guys I don't like at? What 00:41:35.940 --> 00:41:40.019 weight class is Ryan Garcia now? 147. If Jack 00:41:40.019 --> 00:41:42.280 Catterall beat Ryan Garcia, I would love him. 00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:48.820 He can win his way into my heart. Oh, that was 00:41:48.820 --> 00:41:52.079 a bit of news. Ryan Garcia's fighting Mario Barrios. 00:41:53.500 --> 00:41:57.690 Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's not going to happen, but 00:41:57.690 --> 00:42:03.630 I hope Barrios beats him. I really do. I've never 00:42:03.630 --> 00:42:08.530 wanted a draw more in my life. That's true. A 00:42:08.530 --> 00:42:12.469 draw would be the funniest. But yeah, if Kataral 00:42:12.469 --> 00:42:15.309 started beating those guys I don't like, I would 00:42:15.309 --> 00:42:17.530 get behind Kataral. Even though I don't like 00:42:17.530 --> 00:42:20.489 him either. The lesser of two evils and all that. 00:42:20.869 --> 00:42:27.610 Yeah. I think he has a chance. Because Welterweight 00:42:27.610 --> 00:42:35.030 is pretty poor at the moment. Is it though? I 00:42:35.030 --> 00:42:39.150 mean, Catterall's probably not going to beat 00:42:39.150 --> 00:42:44.590 Amy. He's not going to beat Tio. Well, he might 00:42:44.590 --> 00:42:46.849 beat Tio. Anybody could beat Tio, theoretically. 00:42:47.329 --> 00:42:51.909 Yeah, if the stars align. Yeah. Is Shakira at 00:42:51.909 --> 00:42:57.900 147 now? No. Still at 35, as far as I know. But 00:42:57.900 --> 00:43:00.119 I think he's moving to 40 for the fight with 00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:05.219 Teofimo. Another bit of news we forgot. We can 00:43:05.219 --> 00:43:07.300 cover that one next week. It's way in the future. 00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:14.820 Yeah, it's in January. But yeah, that was... 00:43:14.820 --> 00:43:17.039 Jack Catterall was about when I realized I'm 00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:20.860 a fucking degenerate. I need to go outside and... 00:43:20.860 --> 00:43:31.579 Catch some grass. Yep. And I found a fellow degenerate 00:43:31.579 --> 00:43:35.420 during Connor Ben versus Chris Eubank. Nice. 00:43:37.579 --> 00:43:40.639 As the fight started, it was pretty obvious within 00:43:40.639 --> 00:43:43.639 the first two or three rounds, Chris Eubank was... 00:43:43.639 --> 00:43:48.059 Something was wrong with him. What was it? I 00:43:48.059 --> 00:43:51.579 don't know. He just can't make that weight. You 00:43:51.579 --> 00:43:54.659 think that's what it was? Weight gain? 100 % 00:43:54.659 --> 00:43:58.699 I think that's what it was. And he's too old 00:43:58.699 --> 00:44:07.159 to be trying now. He's 36. Weight draining yourself 00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:13.800 like that at 36 is bad news. Yeah. I did see 00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:15.699 on social media he's not sure when he's going 00:44:15.699 --> 00:44:20.380 to fight again. I think he was hospitalized for 00:44:20.380 --> 00:44:25.050 quite a while afterwards. Jesus. I better fact 00:44:25.050 --> 00:44:27.570 check myself there. But he was in the hospital, 00:44:27.630 --> 00:44:30.809 not just for like checkups. He was there overnight 00:44:30.809 --> 00:44:39.389 for sure. Connor Ben also looking to fight Ryan 00:44:39.389 --> 00:44:44.269 Garcia. Yeah, even if Ben beats Garcia, I'm still 00:44:44.269 --> 00:44:47.849 going to hate both of them. I was going to ask 00:44:47.849 --> 00:44:51.369 if that would change your mind on Ben. No, not 00:44:51.369 --> 00:44:57.800 enough. Yeah, Eubank was hospitalized for two 00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:02.400 days. Like, in the hospital, mostly unconscious 00:45:02.400 --> 00:45:10.059 for two days. Jeez. And, yeah, the pictures are 00:45:10.059 --> 00:45:12.159 him hooked up to, like, ventilators and shit. 00:45:12.260 --> 00:45:16.179 Like, I don't think... If he comes back to boxing, 00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:19.679 he needs to go to his real weight class. Like, 00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:30.429 it's... It was about the time of the knockdown 00:45:30.429 --> 00:45:36.130 that I walked away. I left early. Yeah, you left 00:45:36.130 --> 00:45:38.670 early. Yeah, I had seen enough. Like, Eubank 00:45:38.670 --> 00:45:43.250 isn't doing shit. Ben is able to do stuff. And 00:45:43.250 --> 00:45:47.389 this is going one way. So, what's the point? 00:45:48.309 --> 00:45:53.690 Fair enough. But... I bet you singing Sweet Caroline 00:45:53.690 --> 00:45:58.550 with everybody was a lot of fun. It was. They 00:45:58.550 --> 00:46:01.610 sing that at football games in Canada sometimes, 00:46:01.750 --> 00:46:04.389 and it's always one of my favorite parts of the 00:46:04.389 --> 00:46:09.510 game. Yeah, I had went to get drinks, and then 00:46:09.510 --> 00:46:12.329 I heard it starting, and I was like, oh shit, 00:46:12.489 --> 00:46:16.510 hurry up, get me my goddamn beverages already. 00:46:17.230 --> 00:46:21.420 Yeah, I need to go sing. Yes. And so I like I 00:46:21.420 --> 00:46:23.960 had my drinks and I was like taking videos and 00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:25.699 stuff. And then I get back to my seat and the 00:46:25.699 --> 00:46:27.659 guy sitting next to me is like, well, you came 00:46:27.659 --> 00:46:29.579 all the way from the States and like you're missing 00:46:29.579 --> 00:46:33.500 the best part. Yeah. Yeah. No, I was taking videos, 00:46:33.659 --> 00:46:40.300 man. I bet I bet you the atmosphere in England 00:46:40.300 --> 00:46:44.260 is like crazy more fun than it is here in Japan. 00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:47.639 I like going to boxing here, but the atmosphere 00:46:47.639 --> 00:46:52.389 is a little lacking. I can't imagine the Japanese 00:46:52.389 --> 00:46:56.769 people singing a song. What would they even sing? 00:46:58.570 --> 00:47:02.570 Sweet Caroline? Some J -pop stuff of some sort? 00:47:03.210 --> 00:47:07.110 I mean, Japan has a lot of music. Yeah, yeah. 00:47:08.909 --> 00:47:15.389 I just can't imagine them being that loud. I 00:47:15.389 --> 00:47:18.769 can't imagine a Japanese person being loud, period. 00:47:20.650 --> 00:47:23.590 I mean, they can be, but usually when they're 00:47:23.590 --> 00:47:32.130 drinking. Anything more for Eubank? Nah, this 00:47:32.130 --> 00:47:38.429 one made me a little sad. Like, clearly Eubank 00:47:38.429 --> 00:47:42.449 was not, shouldn't have been there for whatever 00:47:42.449 --> 00:47:48.929 reason. I do not want to see a third one either. 00:47:49.289 --> 00:47:56.289 No. That's the guy sitting behind me. Major Eubank 00:47:56.289 --> 00:48:03.670 Stan. He kept calling Eubank my son. Nice. Go 00:48:03.670 --> 00:48:08.429 on, my son. All right. You really like this guy. 00:48:10.150 --> 00:48:14.769 Fair enough. Yeah. But he was I that was like 00:48:14.769 --> 00:48:16.710 I knew I had found another degenerate. He was 00:48:16.710 --> 00:48:21.480 talking about a BOMAC. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, 00:48:21.500 --> 00:48:30.099 yeah. Like, oh, shit. I'm not alone. Let's move 00:48:30.099 --> 00:48:42.940 to ring four in Riyadh. Just one disappointment 00:48:42.940 --> 00:48:47.940 on Brian Norman getting dropped by Devin Haney. 00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:54.539 Soundly outboxed. Haney does look better at this 00:48:54.539 --> 00:48:56.559 weight class. Because this was his first move 00:48:56.559 --> 00:49:04.059 up, right? I believe so. Yeah. He looked different. 00:49:04.260 --> 00:49:09.679 He looked like he had more power. For sure. Or 00:49:09.679 --> 00:49:12.199 maybe Brian Norman just isn't as good as I thought 00:49:12.199 --> 00:49:14.719 he was. But I thought Devin Haney looked really 00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:18.219 good in this fight. And not as boring as usual. 00:49:20.329 --> 00:49:23.789 He was feeling himself. Yeah, I really thought 00:49:23.789 --> 00:49:25.849 he was still going to be a little shell -shocked, 00:49:25.869 --> 00:49:29.769 and I was expecting him to fight better, but 00:49:29.769 --> 00:49:33.130 similar to the Ramirez fight, and he did not. 00:49:34.090 --> 00:49:36.230 Devin Haney looked good. I have to give him his 00:49:36.230 --> 00:49:41.449 props. Like, I was impressed with Haney's performance. 00:49:45.329 --> 00:49:55.449 Oh. Bam Rodriguez stops Fernando Martinez. Bam 00:49:55.449 --> 00:49:58.570 is suffering from success. Bam made that look 00:49:58.570 --> 00:50:01.230 so easy. Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out 00:50:01.230 --> 00:50:03.750 how to phrase that. Because Bam didn't really 00:50:03.750 --> 00:50:06.750 have trouble from the very beginning. No, and 00:50:06.750 --> 00:50:12.750 nobody watches these weight classes. But Puma 00:50:12.750 --> 00:50:17.210 Martinez is a world -class fighter. Like, this 00:50:17.210 --> 00:50:20.690 was supposed to be a test. Cafu was supposed 00:50:20.690 --> 00:50:24.489 to be a step up, but Martinez was supposed to 00:50:24.489 --> 00:50:27.829 be a test. And I expected it to be a fight, and 00:50:27.829 --> 00:50:32.469 it just wasn't. It was just, damn, doing damn 00:50:32.469 --> 00:50:36.329 things. Like, he looked so good. He made Martinez 00:50:36.329 --> 00:50:40.530 look so average. Yeah, he made Martinez look, 00:50:40.630 --> 00:50:44.489 like, completely flat -footed. looked like amateurish 00:50:44.489 --> 00:50:49.230 the way that he was throwing the way he was throwing 00:50:49.230 --> 00:50:51.429 his punches like trying to loop around bam's 00:50:51.429 --> 00:50:55.849 guard and like it was comical just how wide of 00:50:55.849 --> 00:50:59.349 a shot he was throwing and yeah just to get pivoted 00:50:59.349 --> 00:51:04.829 on martinez kind of always throws like that but 00:51:04.829 --> 00:51:07.690 it's an awkward thing that usually works for 00:51:07.690 --> 00:51:11.039 him like I don't know how to explain it. And 00:51:11.039 --> 00:51:13.639 I think he was exaggerating it a little because 00:51:13.639 --> 00:51:17.159 Bam cuts angles so good. He was trying to catch 00:51:17.159 --> 00:51:22.360 Bam moving. But it just didn't work. Nothing 00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:27.579 he did worked. It was crazy. Bam just looked 00:51:27.579 --> 00:51:30.980 like he doesn't belong in the ring with anyone 00:51:30.980 --> 00:51:35.679 else right now. He looked like what everybody 00:51:35.679 --> 00:51:41.280 said Loma looked like. I don't think there's 00:51:41.280 --> 00:51:44.219 any competition for Bam anywhere near his actual 00:51:44.219 --> 00:51:48.920 weight class. He's gonna have to move up. Only 00:51:48.920 --> 00:51:51.699 thing I could think of him wanting to do still 00:51:51.699 --> 00:51:57.219 at 115 would be getting undisputed. And that 00:51:57.219 --> 00:52:00.340 would be it. Yeah. Yeah. And I think he said 00:52:00.340 --> 00:52:04.880 that he would like to do that. Because right 00:52:04.880 --> 00:52:09.519 now he sits on the outside. of Inouye, Crawford, 00:52:09.619 --> 00:52:14.599 and Usyk, who are all multi -division undisputed 00:52:14.599 --> 00:52:18.980 champions. So you kind of, I don't know, by merit, 00:52:19.099 --> 00:52:23.739 you can't really put Bam above them in a pound 00:52:23.739 --> 00:52:28.059 -for -pound discussion, could you? No, no. But 00:52:28.059 --> 00:52:30.960 I'm just saying that Bam looked like he didn't 00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:36.300 belong there with anybody. But yeah, he only 00:52:36.300 --> 00:52:39.280 needs the one more fight to become Undisputed 00:52:39.280 --> 00:52:42.920 2. Right? Because Bam's got three belts now. 00:52:43.199 --> 00:52:46.840 Correct. So he just has to beat Willie Baldo. 00:52:47.679 --> 00:52:54.039 Such a great name. So I could see him doing that 00:52:54.039 --> 00:52:56.579 before moving up. And I'm not saying he shouldn't. 00:52:56.579 --> 00:53:02.159 I just mean, I don't think Garcia has any chance. 00:53:02.909 --> 00:53:06.150 Like, I think Puma's a better fighter than Willy 00:53:06.150 --> 00:53:15.849 Baldo Garcia. So. But I also kind of don't want 00:53:15.849 --> 00:53:18.389 Bam to come up to 118, because that's where my 00:53:18.389 --> 00:53:23.570 favorites are, and they're not that good. Bam 00:53:23.570 --> 00:53:29.030 will run through all of them. But that's just 00:53:29.030 --> 00:53:35.820 my personal biases showing. Well, we did see 00:53:35.820 --> 00:53:41.400 Takuma Inoue is able to put the work on somebody 00:53:41.400 --> 00:53:46.300 who cuts serious angles. Does Tenchin cut angles? 00:53:47.559 --> 00:53:51.820 Tenchin sucks. He can cut angles. He didn't against 00:53:51.820 --> 00:53:55.639 Takuma because it wasn't working. Yeah, that's 00:53:55.639 --> 00:53:59.420 true. No, I don't think anybody at 118 has a 00:53:59.420 --> 00:54:01.840 fucking snowball's chance in hell against Bam. 00:54:02.320 --> 00:54:04.880 Unless Bam comes up and his power doesn't carry 00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:09.219 at all. And I think Bam could just outbox them. 00:54:10.480 --> 00:54:13.619 But unless he suddenly becomes pillow -fisted, 00:54:13.699 --> 00:54:15.920 which he won't, and they just walk through it, 00:54:16.019 --> 00:54:18.840 I don't see Bam having trouble with anybody at 00:54:18.840 --> 00:54:28.940 118. Damn. Do you? No, not really. Like, I know 00:54:28.940 --> 00:54:33.510 it's... It's a bold state, not bold, but it's 00:54:33.510 --> 00:54:35.929 a big statement. But like, I really just don't 00:54:35.929 --> 00:54:38.630 see anyone that's going to stand against Bam. 00:54:43.750 --> 00:54:50.030 The commentary kept like, Todd Grisham and Mike 00:54:50.030 --> 00:54:52.750 Coppinger were both saying that he should fight 00:54:52.750 --> 00:54:58.309 Inouye. Yeah, they're fucking idiots. Yeah, Sergio 00:54:58.309 --> 00:55:04.039 was talking about. Bam should go to 118. 118 00:55:04.039 --> 00:55:08.039 makes sense. And I'm not saying Bam couldn't 00:55:08.039 --> 00:55:12.480 go up to 122, but Inouye's going to 126. Like, 00:55:12.480 --> 00:55:16.940 you want Bam to jump three weight classes to 00:55:16.940 --> 00:55:22.440 fight the pound -for -pound best under 140 pounds 00:55:22.440 --> 00:55:29.840 for sure? Like, it sounds stupid. Just because 00:55:29.840 --> 00:55:33.119 Crawford went up and beat Canelo doesn't mean 00:55:33.119 --> 00:55:37.539 that... Anyone can do that. Well, also, Inouye's 00:55:37.539 --> 00:55:46.219 not as washed as Canelo. At all. Like... No matter 00:55:46.219 --> 00:55:49.280 what you think of Canelo and stuff, he's not 00:55:49.280 --> 00:55:54.159 as good as he was. No. No, he's not. But Inoue's 00:55:54.159 --> 00:55:56.679 still looking pretty prime, and you're expecting 00:55:56.679 --> 00:55:59.780 Bam to go up at least two weight classes to fight 00:55:59.780 --> 00:56:05.179 him? I think that's stupid. The other option 00:56:05.179 --> 00:56:09.880 would be, what, Nakatani? If he were to jump 00:56:09.880 --> 00:56:16.019 to 22. Yeah. Again, I'm not saying Bam can't 00:56:16.019 --> 00:56:18.760 take these fights, but I would want him to take 00:56:18.760 --> 00:56:22.340 a couple in -between step -up... make sure you're 00:56:22.340 --> 00:56:29.679 gaining weight decently. Yeah. Like... I mean, 00:56:29.719 --> 00:56:32.320 Crawford took a whole year off to get up to size. 00:56:32.500 --> 00:56:37.699 Bam's not gonna take a year off. You need some 00:56:37.699 --> 00:56:44.239 time to... You need time to bulk up. Also, how 00:56:44.239 --> 00:56:52.630 tall is Bam? I think 5 '4". Like... Okay. I thought 00:56:52.630 --> 00:56:55.969 he was shorter than that. I think Inouye's the 00:56:55.969 --> 00:56:59.070 same size, isn't he? Yeah, okay. For some reason 00:56:59.070 --> 00:57:05.030 I thought Bam was 5 '2". Never mind. His size 00:57:05.030 --> 00:57:14.650 probably isn't an issue then. Abdullah Mason 00:57:14.650 --> 00:57:20.420 beats the piss out of Sam Noakes. does beat the 00:57:20.420 --> 00:57:24.780 piss out of Sam Noakes. But Sam Noakes did impress 00:57:24.780 --> 00:57:29.059 me. Why is that? With how much fucking damage 00:57:29.059 --> 00:57:34.199 he could take. I just didn't think Sam Noakes 00:57:34.199 --> 00:57:38.079 would do as well as he did. He lost well. It 00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:41.960 was a fun fight. Yeah, the cards had it pretty 00:57:41.960 --> 00:57:47.719 wide. I think one of them was like 9 -3. The 00:57:47.719 --> 00:57:51.340 other two were Mason by one round, though. Okay, 00:57:51.420 --> 00:57:54.659 that's a little bit more reasonable. Yeah, two 00:57:54.659 --> 00:58:00.019 of them were 115, 113. Noakes did have good moments. 00:58:01.480 --> 00:58:04.400 It was a much more fun fight than I thought it 00:58:04.400 --> 00:58:12.480 was going to be. Like... Abdullah Mason seems 00:58:12.480 --> 00:58:19.079 to choose to... To get hit more than. I feel 00:58:19.079 --> 00:58:23.880 like he needs to. I always liken this to the. 00:58:25.260 --> 00:58:30.019 The theory that. They. They don't worry about 00:58:30.019 --> 00:58:32.179 the power. That they're feeling. Like they're 00:58:32.179 --> 00:58:36.440 not concerned by it. Maybe. But you get bad habits. 00:58:36.679 --> 00:58:38.340 And then what happens when you come against. 00:58:38.400 --> 00:58:45.300 Somebody who does have power. It was a really 00:58:45.300 --> 00:58:49.159 fun fight. Which I like. And I don't particularly 00:58:49.159 --> 00:58:51.579 have strong feelings about either of these fighters. 00:58:51.760 --> 00:58:55.699 So I just enjoyed the very fun fight. But if 00:58:55.699 --> 00:58:58.380 Abdullah Mason is as good as you and other people 00:58:58.380 --> 00:59:02.460 think he is, he shouldn't be in that fun of a 00:59:02.460 --> 00:59:08.280 fight with Sam Noakes. Interesting. Is my take 00:59:08.280 --> 00:59:14.699 on it. As a... Neutral -ish observer. Yeah, like... 00:59:16.329 --> 00:59:20.030 I think Abdullah Mason could have just outboxed 00:59:20.030 --> 00:59:23.250 him. I'm glad he didn't, but I think he could 00:59:23.250 --> 00:59:27.429 have. Yeah, his corner kept telling him to. That 00:59:27.429 --> 00:59:29.250 was the other thing. He wasn't really listening 00:59:29.250 --> 00:59:32.789 to his coaches, which is always a bad thing, 00:59:32.909 --> 00:59:40.550 I think. Yeah, usually a bad sign. A really fun 00:59:40.550 --> 00:59:42.210 fight, though. If anybody missed it, they should 00:59:42.210 --> 00:59:49.039 go back and watch it. And another fun one. David 00:59:49.039 --> 00:59:54.099 Benavidez stops Anthony Yard. Was this one fun? 00:59:55.760 --> 00:59:57.619 It's pretty one -sided. Yeah, if you like one 00:59:57.619 --> 01:00:00.679 -sided beatdowns, then this one's pretty good. 01:00:02.539 --> 01:00:06.139 I expected Anthony Yard to do better. I really 01:00:06.139 --> 01:00:11.380 did. He did okay in the first few rounds. Yeah. 01:00:13.239 --> 01:00:18.730 I guess. Benavidez just kind of beat it out of 01:00:18.730 --> 01:00:23.190 him partway through, though. Yes. Did Benavidez 01:00:23.190 --> 01:00:26.670 get docked two points? Two points, yeah. I saw 01:00:26.670 --> 01:00:31.789 that correctly. Okay. Two points for... I don't 01:00:31.789 --> 01:00:33.929 remember what it was for. Hitting a downed opponent, 01:00:34.210 --> 01:00:37.829 I'm pretty sure. Yeah, okay. Yeah, sorry. It's 01:00:37.829 --> 01:00:42.469 been a while since this fight. I honestly think 01:00:42.469 --> 01:00:44.610 he could have been DQ'd there. That was pretty 01:00:44.610 --> 01:00:49.699 blatant. That was bad. Yikes. I thought it was. 01:00:51.659 --> 01:00:56.679 Two points I have no problem with. Mostly because 01:00:56.679 --> 01:00:59.480 it was a one -sided beatdown before that as well. 01:01:00.300 --> 01:01:04.519 But, like, it was a pretty blatant he was down 01:01:04.519 --> 01:01:11.760 and he hit him anyways. Not a good look. First 01:01:11.760 --> 01:01:13.780 time I've ever seen anybody get docked two points. 01:01:15.019 --> 01:01:19.920 At once. Yeah, I can't think of it either, but... 01:01:19.920 --> 01:01:30.739 So it's pulling up... 175. Beevil, better be 01:01:30.739 --> 01:01:35.579 it. That's pretty much all there is. Yeah, I 01:01:35.579 --> 01:01:38.619 think Beevil just outboxes Benavidez. You think 01:01:38.619 --> 01:01:43.440 so? As long as his back surgery went well, I 01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:55.539 think so. You disagree? Um... Beevil's 34. But 01:01:55.539 --> 01:01:59.000 we haven't seen him slow down much. Yeah, his 01:01:59.000 --> 01:02:02.219 style doesn't depend necessarily on athleticism. 01:02:02.239 --> 01:02:09.079 It's like textbook fucking Soviet boxing. Yeah, 01:02:09.119 --> 01:02:15.440 like... I don't know. I could be wrong. I just, 01:02:15.539 --> 01:02:22.099 I don't think it's a problem. Man, I could see 01:02:22.099 --> 01:02:25.920 either guy winning that. It would be a fun fight. 01:02:26.039 --> 01:02:30.800 I would like that. And that would be for Undisputed, 01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:36.019 right? Yes. Which means it's not going to happen, 01:02:36.079 --> 01:02:42.699 probably, because boxing. And then better be 01:02:42.699 --> 01:02:49.550 if he's a... It's 40. Yeah, I don't... I was 01:02:49.550 --> 01:02:52.150 never as high on Better Be Of as other people 01:02:52.150 --> 01:02:57.389 anyways. Oh, American beer. But power is the 01:02:57.389 --> 01:03:01.610 last thing to go, so... Yeah, and Better Be Of 01:03:01.610 --> 01:03:09.969 has a lot of it. Yeah. Oh, shit. Anthony Yard, 01:03:09.969 --> 01:03:15.090 not much for you to do. I mean, David Morrell 01:03:15.090 --> 01:03:24.889 is there, I guess. Which one's Gwazdik? Gwazdik? 01:03:26.670 --> 01:03:32.190 The guy that Benavides fought? Okay. Yeah, he's 01:03:32.190 --> 01:03:39.050 not... I don't think he's... I don't think he's 01:03:39.050 --> 01:03:41.989 quite at the top either. Not a bad fight for 01:03:41.989 --> 01:03:45.269 Anthony Yard, though. Like on a rebound. Yeah. 01:03:47.769 --> 01:03:50.570 But for Benavidez, it's just Bivol and Beterbiev. 01:03:50.670 --> 01:03:54.389 That's really all there is. And honestly, I don't 01:03:54.389 --> 01:03:56.369 really care about Beterbiev in this situation. 01:03:56.610 --> 01:03:59.849 I know other people do, but I mean, that's just 01:03:59.849 --> 01:04:03.809 old power versus younger power, isn't it? Power 01:04:03.809 --> 01:04:06.070 plus speed. Should be fireworks. Yeah, should 01:04:06.070 --> 01:04:11.349 be a fun fight. Both guys come forward. Yeah, 01:04:11.389 --> 01:04:14.949 maybe that would be more fun. B -Ball's just 01:04:14.949 --> 01:04:22.170 gonna outbox him, I think. But didn't... Am I 01:04:22.170 --> 01:04:26.690 misremembering? Didn't Benavidez say he was gonna 01:04:26.690 --> 01:04:30.050 go up and fight Zerno? Oh, that's right. He did 01:04:30.050 --> 01:04:34.869 say that. But I'm not sure why he would do that, 01:04:34.969 --> 01:04:39.909 but... For a big Cinco de Mayo weekend fight? 01:04:40.280 --> 01:04:44.960 I guess. Puerto Rico versus Mexico? It's Mexico 01:04:44.960 --> 01:04:52.539 versus Mexican -American. Zergo's Mexican. No, 01:04:52.619 --> 01:04:57.519 I'm confusing Benavides with the other guy. Who's 01:04:57.519 --> 01:05:01.500 the other guy? Starts with a B. That's Puerto 01:05:01.500 --> 01:05:09.909 Rican. From New York. Berlanga? Yes. That's the 01:05:09.909 --> 01:05:16.690 confusion I made. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, no. Mexican 01:05:16.690 --> 01:05:21.030 versus Mexican Cinco de Mayo. I can see why. 01:05:22.289 --> 01:05:27.489 I also wonder if Benavidez is starting to struggle 01:05:27.489 --> 01:05:34.469 to make 175 a little. He just got there. He looked 01:05:34.469 --> 01:05:37.230 pretty chubby. He's always looked that way, though. 01:05:37.550 --> 01:05:44.050 Even when he was 168. Maybe he wants... Maybe 01:05:44.050 --> 01:05:47.849 the fight is for the Winchellas sponsorship. 01:05:53.170 --> 01:05:56.909 Anything more for this card? No, I don't think 01:05:56.909 --> 01:06:00.190 so. All right. Time for you to rub it in my face. 01:06:00.630 --> 01:06:04.230 First, Tomoyo Suboi knocks out Carlos Cuadras 01:06:04.230 --> 01:06:07.000 in eight. It's pretty nice. Quadris looked so 01:06:07.000 --> 01:06:11.480 bad. Yeah, he did. It made me really sad. I do 01:06:11.480 --> 01:06:15.420 like Saboy, and I'm glad he won, but man, Quadris 01:06:15.420 --> 01:06:24.460 needs to hang him up. That made me sad. There 01:06:24.460 --> 01:06:27.840 was another one on here that I wanted to talk 01:06:27.840 --> 01:06:35.320 about. No. Was there? Is Masuda the one that 01:06:35.320 --> 01:06:38.340 had the five knockdowns on an Inoue undercard 01:06:38.340 --> 01:06:44.559 last year? I don't remember. I'm getting all 01:06:44.559 --> 01:06:49.260 my names mixed up already. Sorry, one second. 01:06:51.460 --> 01:07:01.900 No, he is not. Never mind then. That was Nakano, 01:07:02.059 --> 01:07:10.219 was it? At the T -Mobile Arena? Was that a... 01:07:10.219 --> 01:07:22.179 No. What date? May 4th? Yes. Okay. On the Cardenas 01:07:22.179 --> 01:07:28.760 undercard, Makito Nakano just beat the piss out 01:07:28.760 --> 01:07:31.889 of... some Mexican guy, he knocked him down five 01:07:31.889 --> 01:07:35.510 times that led to a TKO in the fifth round or 01:07:35.510 --> 01:07:40.170 something. And I was super excited to see him 01:07:40.170 --> 01:07:42.789 on this card because I had missed that fight 01:07:42.789 --> 01:07:45.929 because I was on the train to the bar to watch 01:07:45.929 --> 01:07:50.389 the show. And then he fucking loses. I was so 01:07:50.389 --> 01:07:58.280 mad. I was really excited about Nakano and then 01:07:58.280 --> 01:08:03.480 he got unanimous decision. Yeah. I didn't know 01:08:03.480 --> 01:08:07.159 who this Aleem guy was. People had been telling 01:08:07.159 --> 01:08:09.000 me that he was going to beat him, but I thought 01:08:09.000 --> 01:08:11.320 it was just Americans cheering for the American. 01:08:11.579 --> 01:08:14.440 But I guess not. I guess they knew what they 01:08:14.440 --> 01:08:21.279 were talking about. That was disappointing. But. 01:08:21.869 --> 01:08:24.170 The main event. Speaking of knowing what you 01:08:24.170 --> 01:08:31.170 were talking about. Takuma beats the piss on 01:08:31.170 --> 01:08:35.789 attention Nasukawa. I was so happy and so excited. 01:08:37.590 --> 01:08:40.510 Takuma lost the first two rounds and I was nervous 01:08:40.510 --> 01:08:45.229 and a little angry and I like got off discord. 01:08:45.369 --> 01:08:48.289 I was like, fuck this shit. I'm done. Obviously 01:08:48.289 --> 01:08:52.260 still watching it, but I wasn't gonna like. Yeah. 01:08:52.859 --> 01:08:57.939 And then the third round, Takuma figured out 01:08:57.939 --> 01:09:03.380 how to get the distance because Tenshin's pretty 01:09:03.380 --> 01:09:07.819 tall. And he was keeping him on the outside until 01:09:07.819 --> 01:09:10.520 Takuma figured out, I guess, the timing or something. 01:09:11.159 --> 01:09:15.380 And then Takuma just beat him up for the last 01:09:15.380 --> 01:09:18.699 10 rounds. I don't think Tenshin won more than 01:09:18.699 --> 01:09:22.159 three rounds in that fight. Maybe four. You could 01:09:22.159 --> 01:09:23.840 probably give him four. It would be generous 01:09:23.840 --> 01:09:28.979 to give him four. Yeah. And Tenshin looked exactly 01:09:28.979 --> 01:09:32.579 like I think Tenshin, like, his boxing level 01:09:32.579 --> 01:09:36.239 is where I think it is. I am pretty sure. He's 01:09:36.239 --> 01:09:40.060 not quite world class. I think any of the belt 01:09:40.060 --> 01:09:43.960 holders beat the piss out of him. Who are the 01:09:43.960 --> 01:09:46.880 other belt holders? He's world class, but he's 01:09:46.880 --> 01:09:51.890 not that, like, top. Yeah. So, well, in my heart, 01:09:51.970 --> 01:09:56.850 Seisatsumi, but they fucked him. Belt holders 01:09:56.850 --> 01:10:00.949 right now. One is vacant. Antonio Vargas has 01:10:00.949 --> 01:10:06.489 the WBA. Takuma won the WBC. This was to get 01:10:06.489 --> 01:10:10.630 one of the belts that Nakatani dropped. Yeah. 01:10:11.029 --> 01:10:15.149 And then the other one's Christian Medina. I 01:10:15.149 --> 01:10:21.899 don't... I gotta look at his face. I'm not sure 01:10:21.899 --> 01:10:25.300 I know who Christian Medina is. Oh, he's got 01:10:25.300 --> 01:10:30.359 that, like, comic book hairstyle. He beat Yoshiki 01:10:30.359 --> 01:10:36.619 Takei. Oh, okay, I know who he is. Uh, yeah, 01:10:36.680 --> 01:10:40.000 Medina's good, but, like, he's gonna beat the 01:10:40.000 --> 01:10:44.279 fucking Kisada Takuma, too. Er, uh, attention. 01:10:47.539 --> 01:10:52.899 Is his nickname the Viking? No. Wrong. Christian 01:10:52.899 --> 01:10:57.539 Medina. I hate trying to find people on BoxRec. 01:10:58.640 --> 01:11:07.399 He's fifth in the bantamweight. Yeah. He beat... 01:11:07.399 --> 01:11:13.579 So his last loss was to Nishida, who I think 01:11:13.579 --> 01:11:18.899 is quite good, too. Yeah, this guy definitely... 01:11:19.920 --> 01:11:25.560 beats tension tensions that just underneath being 01:11:25.560 --> 01:11:30.920 able to hold the belt to me inexperienced and 01:11:30.920 --> 01:11:36.420 I think that Takuma proved that really well inexperienced 01:11:36.420 --> 01:11:41.699 and just like I know tension was a fucking savant 01:11:41.699 --> 01:11:46.119 at kickboxing like I don't try and pretend he 01:11:46.119 --> 01:11:48.920 wasn't or take that away from him but he doesn't 01:11:48.920 --> 01:11:53.880 have that much power boxing yeah he's not hurting 01:11:53.880 --> 01:11:58.720 anybody and he cut really cool angles in kickboxing 01:11:58.720 --> 01:12:05.579 but they're not that cool in boxing because it's 01:12:05.579 --> 01:12:08.659 not setting up anything do you know what i mean 01:12:08.659 --> 01:12:15.399 yeah i just I do have a personal hate for him. 01:12:15.439 --> 01:12:17.699 But I just also think he's not that talented 01:12:17.699 --> 01:12:21.380 at boxing. It makes sense he came over. It makes 01:12:21.380 --> 01:12:24.640 sense he wants to make more money. But he's always 01:12:24.640 --> 01:12:28.500 going to be that ranked but never winning a title, 01:12:28.659 --> 01:12:33.220 I think. Perennial contender? Yeah, if he does 01:12:33.220 --> 01:12:35.539 get a title, it's going to be taking a title 01:12:35.539 --> 01:12:40.520 from someone who's not that great. Or winning 01:12:40.520 --> 01:12:46.449 a vacant one. A vacant one. Yeah. Like, honest 01:12:46.449 --> 01:12:49.409 to God, I think even Kenneth Lover, who has less 01:12:49.409 --> 01:12:53.529 boxing matches, beats Tension. Like... Damn. 01:12:55.829 --> 01:12:59.189 I just... I don't think he's that good, and I 01:12:59.189 --> 01:13:02.649 fucking hate his personality so much. I will 01:13:02.649 --> 01:13:06.010 say, Takuma got, like, bonus points from me, 01:13:06.090 --> 01:13:08.270 because in the post -fight interview, he was 01:13:08.270 --> 01:13:10.289 like, I don't care that much about the belt. 01:13:10.720 --> 01:13:14.100 i just wanted to beat tension that's like yes 01:13:14.100 --> 01:13:23.359 good work son go on my son yeah yeah oh and this 01:13:23.359 --> 01:13:27.380 is i guess news probably not news but did you 01:13:27.380 --> 01:13:35.460 see um uh naoya has gone with the pink hair no 01:13:36.060 --> 01:13:40.159 What? Yeah. So light pink hair is very popular 01:13:40.159 --> 01:13:46.520 here right now. Naoya dyed his hair this. It's 01:13:46.520 --> 01:13:49.880 almost blonde, but it's like a hint of pink. 01:13:49.920 --> 01:13:54.119 Strawberry blonde? No, that's kind of a different 01:13:54.119 --> 01:14:00.060 color. Powder pink? Romance anime character. 01:14:00.640 --> 01:14:04.699 I know what you're talking about. Not the bright 01:14:04.699 --> 01:14:09.100 pink, but like that soft pink. Yeah. Like a cherry 01:14:09.100 --> 01:14:15.359 blossom. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Doesn't look very 01:14:15.359 --> 01:14:25.159 good. I am not behind this, but... But yeah. 01:14:25.340 --> 01:14:32.239 No, I am so happy Takuma won. I don't know what's 01:14:32.239 --> 01:14:36.829 going on next. in that weight class. Well, I 01:14:36.829 --> 01:14:39.050 do know what's happening next. In two weeks, 01:14:39.270 --> 01:14:44.489 Tsutsumi's fighting for the interim. The fuck? 01:14:44.670 --> 01:14:49.149 They put Vargas champion in recess now? The fuck 01:14:49.149 --> 01:14:54.430 is the WBA doing? I've asked myself that question 01:14:54.430 --> 01:14:59.210 a lot since I started watching boxing, like, 01:14:59.250 --> 01:15:03.350 intently. Okay, so... Because this must have 01:15:03.350 --> 01:15:05.229 just happened because I think I looked like two 01:15:05.229 --> 01:15:10.470 weeks ago. But they've got Vargas on boxing scene 01:15:10.470 --> 01:15:14.250 listed as champion in recess. They recessed Tsutsumi 01:15:14.250 --> 01:15:17.710 after like two months. Like, what the fuck? Anyways, 01:15:17.850 --> 01:15:20.510 Tsutsumi Donair is in two weeks and I have a 01:15:20.510 --> 01:15:23.909 ticket and I'm so excited. Are you taking your 01:15:23.909 --> 01:15:27.960 Punchburger banner? I bought a new cheer shirt. 01:15:28.140 --> 01:15:30.840 Yes, I am going to take the banner as well. But 01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:35.720 I got a new cheer shirt. I told myself I wouldn't 01:15:35.720 --> 01:15:39.079 buy two shirts from the same boxer, but I did. 01:15:40.920 --> 01:15:43.979 The first one from Tsutsumi is black with white 01:15:43.979 --> 01:15:47.020 writing and it's all in English. It kind of looks 01:15:47.020 --> 01:15:49.500 like a Jack Daniels bottle label. I think that 01:15:49.500 --> 01:15:52.359 was the inspiration. Bad aesthetic, yeah. Yeah, 01:15:52.439 --> 01:15:56.800 but this one's... uh burgundy actually pretty 01:15:56.800 --> 01:15:59.579 similar to the shirt i have on now and uh black 01:15:59.579 --> 01:16:02.899 japanese writing so i figured they were different 01:16:02.899 --> 01:16:07.479 enough i could justify it i love when merch is 01:16:07.479 --> 01:16:11.699 not black i have way too many fucking black shirts 01:16:11.699 --> 01:16:17.079 yeah i don't know as a chubby lady i like black 01:16:17.079 --> 01:16:21.609 but uh i really like the dark red too so I'm 01:16:21.609 --> 01:16:23.590 excited about it. I would have went for it if 01:16:23.590 --> 01:16:29.029 I saw it was dark red. Yeah. And Inouye has new 01:16:29.029 --> 01:16:30.930 cheer shirts, but they're fucking ugly, like 01:16:30.930 --> 01:16:35.130 always. I don't have a nice Inouye shirt, and 01:16:35.130 --> 01:16:39.189 it makes me mad. For either brother, their shirts 01:16:39.189 --> 01:16:46.189 suck. Well, if you go to the Lux Media shop... 01:16:46.189 --> 01:16:51.109 Actually, some of our merch is quite nice. The 01:16:51.109 --> 01:16:57.050 chibi, in a way. No, chibi Japanese monster boxer 01:16:57.050 --> 01:17:01.970 is what it is. Yeah, yeah. That one, and just 01:17:01.970 --> 01:17:06.449 the B -Sides logo one is quite nice as well. 01:17:08.750 --> 01:17:15.829 Simplicity. Any more shit to rub in my face for 01:17:15.829 --> 01:17:20.939 Takuma beating Tension? Nah, I was right. Yeah. 01:17:20.939 --> 01:17:22.760 That's all I gotta say. He pretty much called 01:17:22.760 --> 01:17:27.760 it exactly how it went down. Tension's just not 01:17:27.760 --> 01:17:31.739 that good. I don't know who Takuma should fight 01:17:31.739 --> 01:17:35.659 next, though, to be honest. I'm always up for 01:17:35.659 --> 01:17:38.100 another belt holder. Unifications are always 01:17:38.100 --> 01:17:42.279 good for me. Medina, then? I don't think he wants 01:17:42.279 --> 01:17:45.640 to fight Seiya Tsutsumi again. Can't imagine 01:17:45.640 --> 01:17:49.000 he would. Not without a belt on the line, anyway. 01:17:50.159 --> 01:17:53.539 Well, I mean, after Tsutsumi beats Donera, there 01:17:53.539 --> 01:17:59.399 should be a belt, but... Higa is listed as... 01:17:59.399 --> 01:18:04.380 So, number one in the WBA is vacant right now, 01:18:04.460 --> 01:18:09.640 but Higa is listed as number two. I almost guarantee 01:18:09.640 --> 01:18:18.140 that they do Tsutsumi Higa three. Can we get 01:18:18.140 --> 01:18:22.029 another draw? I mean, it would be really funny. 01:18:24.670 --> 01:18:28.869 But... So I think... I might be wrong, but I 01:18:28.869 --> 01:18:35.329 think that's kind of taken. Estrada's high on, 01:18:35.510 --> 01:18:39.229 like, most of the lists. Takuma Estrada might 01:18:39.229 --> 01:18:43.590 be cool. Yeah, Estrada's still serviceable. Or 01:18:43.590 --> 01:18:45.210 at least we'll find out if he is. Maybe throw 01:18:45.210 --> 01:18:51.579 him in with Tsuboi. Yeah. Oh, actually, no, no, 01:18:51.619 --> 01:18:56.920 shit. I'm having my memory problems. They're 01:18:56.920 --> 01:19:02.619 talking about Takuma Ioka early next year. Interesting. 01:19:02.859 --> 01:19:07.579 So Ioka's moving up. No, Ioka's in that weight 01:19:07.579 --> 01:19:11.779 class. Oh, I thought he was at 115. Nope. Hasn't 01:19:11.779 --> 01:19:15.060 been for a while. Ioka's got his New Year's Eve 01:19:15.060 --> 01:19:19.760 standard. Against some guy I didn't recognize. 01:19:20.220 --> 01:19:25.279 At the hotel gym? Yep. Of course. I'm considering 01:19:25.279 --> 01:19:30.380 buying a ticket. Just because. Tradition. And 01:19:30.380 --> 01:19:32.979 Hyouka's getting old. I can't imagine he's going 01:19:32.979 --> 01:19:35.899 to be around much longer. No, I remember seeing 01:19:35.899 --> 01:19:37.859 you in the chat saying this might be the last 01:19:37.859 --> 01:19:39.880 Hyouka fight. One of the last Hyouka fights. 01:19:40.699 --> 01:19:43.500 It might be his last New Year's. I'm not going 01:19:43.500 --> 01:19:48.340 to lie. I might just bite the bullet. The only 01:19:48.340 --> 01:19:53.020 problem is it's on the other side of Tokyo. So 01:19:53.020 --> 01:19:57.100 getting back on the train before they stop for 01:19:57.100 --> 01:19:59.979 New Year's. I don't know why Japan doesn't run 01:19:59.979 --> 01:20:05.979 24 -hour trains on New Year's Eve. Like, every 01:20:05.979 --> 01:20:10.439 other fucking city in the world does, but Tokyo 01:20:10.439 --> 01:20:17.279 doesn't. Anyways, the listeners don't want to 01:20:17.279 --> 01:20:22.640 listen to me about Japanese boxing anymore. Well, 01:20:22.760 --> 01:20:25.319 if you didn't want to hear about Japanese boxing, 01:20:25.520 --> 01:20:28.399 then... This is a wrong podcast. Yeah, this is 01:20:28.399 --> 01:20:32.619 not the place to be. We got B -sides for you. 01:20:33.819 --> 01:20:37.739 Talk more about it. Less about the smaller weight 01:20:37.739 --> 01:20:42.279 classes there. Oh, speaking of the not -so -small 01:20:42.279 --> 01:20:48.029 weight classes. Upcoming shit. Bash boxing on 01:20:48.029 --> 01:20:55.189 Prime Video. Badu Jack vs. Norer Mikaelian. Rematch. 01:20:55.750 --> 01:21:05.770 I always gotta back Badu Jack. Whoever this is, 01:21:05.989 --> 01:21:12.270 they're Opitaya or Zurdo Food. Whoever wins this. 01:21:13.579 --> 01:21:17.960 I guess. I mean, I think Badoo Jack will do what 01:21:17.960 --> 01:21:23.800 he always does and barely win. Just enough to 01:21:23.800 --> 01:21:32.079 get the decision. Or be really hard done by if 01:21:32.079 --> 01:21:36.600 he doesn't win the decision, loses it close. 01:21:38.199 --> 01:21:43.760 Or gets a draw. I don't think he's ever had Or 01:21:43.760 --> 01:21:46.140 it's been a long time since he really lost -lost. 01:21:49.600 --> 01:21:52.199 It does say he was knocked out once, so that 01:21:52.199 --> 01:22:00.560 must be pretty... 2014, though. I don't know. 01:22:00.579 --> 01:22:03.039 I hope Badoo Jack pulls it out. That last fight 01:22:03.039 --> 01:22:05.659 was kind of boring, not gonna lie. It was rough. 01:22:07.119 --> 01:22:10.979 I'll watch this one, just because you have to 01:22:10.979 --> 01:22:20.770 back the Swedish boxers. Matchroom on DAZN. There's 01:22:20.770 --> 01:22:22.989 a bunch of shit on here. Let me just cherry pick 01:22:22.989 --> 01:22:25.869 on my way up from the bottom. Chavon Clark versus 01:22:25.869 --> 01:22:29.750 Anthony Holloway. Chavon's in an eight -round 01:22:29.750 --> 01:22:33.649 fight at Cruiserweight, so that's fun. Arturo 01:22:33.649 --> 01:22:38.289 Popoca has a fun name. Ten rounds at Super Bantam. 01:22:39.670 --> 01:22:43.590 Oh. Boxing's fucking princess, Skye Nicholson 01:22:43.590 --> 01:22:51.029 versus Yuliana Luna Avila. Interim 122. Oh, the 01:22:51.029 --> 01:22:55.550 other lady might be an RJ alert. Really? Avila. 01:22:55.869 --> 01:23:01.210 Let's have a look. Yeah, I think so. I would 01:23:01.210 --> 01:23:06.659 say anyway. It's a double RJ tag. It does look 01:23:06.659 --> 01:23:09.420 like she almost exclusively fights in Mexico, 01:23:09.460 --> 01:23:16.520 which can be sketchy for women's boxing. She 01:23:16.520 --> 01:23:21.539 lost to Dina Thorsland a couple years ago. I 01:23:21.539 --> 01:23:24.479 suspect Skye Nicholson will probably pull this 01:23:24.479 --> 01:23:29.859 one out. Which sucks, because I don't like Skye 01:23:29.859 --> 01:23:34.020 Nicholson. Skye Nicholson Hearn? She hyphenated. 01:23:34.060 --> 01:23:44.479 Yeah. Gabe Flores. Still doing it. Versus Joe 01:23:44.479 --> 01:23:53.140 Cordina. Huh. This is the Gabe Flores I'm thinking 01:23:53.140 --> 01:24:03.960 of, right? Yes, it is. He has a very squared 01:24:03.960 --> 01:24:07.560 up hairline on BoxRec. Oh my goodness, what a 01:24:07.560 --> 01:24:12.159 hairline. I'm going to have to cheer for Joe 01:24:12.159 --> 01:24:14.239 Cordina on this one. But I have to admit, I don't 01:24:14.239 --> 01:24:18.260 know who Gabe Flores is. He was really hyped 01:24:18.260 --> 01:24:23.779 as a prospect when he was with Top Rank. He seems 01:24:23.779 --> 01:24:29.539 quite busy. And he's been winning. He hasn't 01:24:29.539 --> 01:24:32.159 been looking great in his wins, though. Of those 01:24:32.159 --> 01:24:37.699 that I've seen. Okay. I don't know. I like Joe 01:24:37.699 --> 01:24:41.119 Cordina. I don't think anyone else does, but 01:24:41.119 --> 01:24:48.439 I do. And Diego Pacheco versus Kevin Lele Sajo. 01:24:50.220 --> 01:24:55.680 I mean, Pacheco should win? Question mark? Yeah, 01:24:55.779 --> 01:25:01.920 you'd think. 24 -0 Pacheco versus 26 -0 Sajo. 01:25:03.300 --> 01:25:07.430 Who mostly fights in France. Well, now I have 01:25:07.430 --> 01:25:12.029 to cheer against him. He also lives in France, 01:25:12.310 --> 01:25:17.270 so I guess we're Pacheco bros this time. He's 01:25:17.270 --> 01:25:23.609 from Cameroon. Honestly, I like Pacheco. Yeah, 01:25:23.630 --> 01:25:27.310 I do too. I kind of hope he's as good as people 01:25:27.310 --> 01:25:29.550 think he is, but I don't think he's as good as 01:25:29.550 --> 01:25:32.850 people think he is. What makes you think that? 01:25:35.239 --> 01:25:37.840 I just think people are too excited about him. 01:25:38.300 --> 01:25:43.100 Nothing he's done, really. But people are talking 01:25:43.100 --> 01:25:47.960 about him like he's going to be the next whatever. 01:25:48.439 --> 01:25:51.600 Yeah. The next Canelo. That's not a good comparison. 01:25:51.819 --> 01:25:56.159 The next big thing. Yeah. People are really hyping 01:25:56.159 --> 01:25:58.279 him up. And I just think it's premature to hype 01:25:58.279 --> 01:26:00.909 him up like that. He hasn't done anything to 01:26:00.909 --> 01:26:03.310 make me dislike him or think he'll be bad, but 01:26:03.310 --> 01:26:05.170 he hasn't done anything to make me think he's 01:26:05.170 --> 01:26:10.550 the next big thing either. He is only 24. Yeah. 01:26:11.850 --> 01:26:17.229 He's only 24. He has time. But they've really 01:26:17.229 --> 01:26:23.050 pushed him kind of as being the next big thing. 01:26:25.529 --> 01:26:31.729 The next Mexican -American star yeah i mean and 01:26:31.729 --> 01:26:34.109 he has looked good i don't have any reason to 01:26:34.109 --> 01:26:39.930 think he won't be good but um but that's actually 01:26:39.930 --> 01:26:43.670 that's all we got so yeah five minutes should 01:26:43.670 --> 01:26:47.510 be fine yeah um let me do some more notes here 01:26:47.510 --> 01:26:51.710 the phone line plus one eight three three five 01:26:51.710 --> 01:26:53.770 eight nine seven six three seven hit us up in 01:26:53.770 --> 01:26:56.449 whatsapp i want to hear your fucking hot takes 01:26:57.719 --> 01:27:04.659 Spicy.

Make sure you get your 01:30:08.890 --> 01:30:11.270 Christmas shopping done. That shit's coming up 01:30:11.270 --> 01:30:15.510 fast. Oh, fuck. We're recording on the 5th. Holy 01:30:15.510 --> 01:30:19.310 shit. Yeah, I have done none of my Christmas 01:30:19.310 --> 01:30:21.510 shopping, and I have to mail it around the world, 01:30:21.630 --> 01:30:25.770 and it's all going to be late. But I only buy 01:30:25.770 --> 01:30:29.310 presents for adults, so it's okay. Yeah, understandable. 01:30:33.970 --> 01:30:37.750 Parting words for me? Go touch grass in a different 01:30:37.750 --> 01:30:42.500 country. Traveling's really fun. It is. If you 01:30:42.500 --> 01:30:44.800 can't afford a different country, there's really 01:30:44.800 --> 01:30:47.479 cool shit to do in your country, in your area. 01:30:47.640 --> 01:30:51.479 I guarantee it. I also, I second that. There's 01:30:51.479 --> 01:30:54.699 absolutely shit you can do that's close by and 01:30:54.699 --> 01:30:59.579 very low cost. Go Google cheap touristy shit 01:30:59.579 --> 01:31:02.060 in your area and do it on the weekend. It's fun. 01:31:03.420 --> 01:31:05.800 Don't let people judge you for being a tourist 01:31:05.800 --> 01:31:12.170 in your own town. There's this phrase I came 01:31:12.170 --> 01:31:15.970 across recently. It's... Everyone knows to travel 01:31:15.970 --> 01:31:19.630 like a local. You know? Like a... Yeah, yeah. 01:31:20.149 --> 01:31:23.609 Do the shit locals do, but it's also local like 01:31:23.609 --> 01:31:26.909 a traveler. I love being a tourist. Which is 01:31:26.909 --> 01:31:29.390 what you were just talking about. Yeah, I... 01:31:29.390 --> 01:31:32.630 I move around a lot, and I'm always a tourist 01:31:32.630 --> 01:31:35.789 where I move to, but even my hometown has fun 01:31:35.789 --> 01:31:39.319 tourist stuff that people never do. And, like, 01:31:39.479 --> 01:31:44.340 history stuff. It's just really fun. Don't be 01:31:44.340 --> 01:31:46.520 embarrassed to be a tourist. People talk about 01:31:46.520 --> 01:31:49.260 tourists like they're shit. Don't be stupid, 01:31:49.399 --> 01:31:55.060 but, like, go see stuff. Go enjoy stuff. This 01:31:55.060 --> 01:31:57.319 is actually not a bad weekend if you wanted to 01:31:57.319 --> 01:32:02.800 go do something. Not missing all that much. Yeah. 01:32:04.920 --> 01:32:10.600 DAZN will still be there when you get back. Like 01:32:10.600 --> 01:32:15.539 a bad smell. Alright. Well, fuck. We've been 01:32:15.539 --> 01:32:19.060 running for a while. Whatever. We had stuff to 01:32:19.060 --> 01:32:22.659 talk about because I wasn't here. So deal with 01:32:22.659 --> 01:32:27.539 it. Alright. That's it for this edition of Boxing 01:32:27.539 --> 01:32:30.439 Before Dark. See you on the other side of Pacheco 01:32:30.439 --> 01:32:33.260 and Badoo. Bye.
