This shit ain't nothing to me, man. This is Boxing
Before Dark. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Back. Back.
Back. Back. Back. Before. Before. Before. Before.
Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing Before Dark. This
is Boxing Before Dark. Well. Ready? Let's do
the thing. Boxing Before Dark is back, bitch.
Took a little time off. Went to the countryside.
Went to the seaside. Globe traveling. Yeah, had
to do a little globe trotting. Man, it's like
10, 11 hour flights. Like, non -stop. I don't
know. I personally, I think I would prefer a
stop. No, no you don't. I've traveled with lots
of stops. But sitting cramped for 12 hours straight
is not very pleasant. I couldn't sleep as shit.
It takes half the time as if you have a stop.
Yeah, it does take longer. Get to stretch your
legs. Reload on snacks. I guess. I'm just...
Just tough it out person. The longer the flight,
the better. Oh, well, but we're not here for
my fucking traveling stories. If you want, we
were talking about it before we started. So you're
going to have to go to Patreon. Look at that.
I'm already back in the swing of things. Plug
in the Patreon. So professional. Yeah, man. Just
really quickly. How was you went to one 173?
I did. It was super cool. I was so devastated
that Rod Tang didn't fight, though. Yeah, that
was a bummer. He was like 40 % of why I bought
a ticket. But I got to see the one -armed Canadian.
Yeah. Peacock. I did see him lose, but that was
still pretty fun. People, I guess, didn't know
who he was. I could hear people in the crowd
being like, what arm? Like, oh. And when he punched
the guy with his nub, the crowd would go wild.
It was great. But yeah, it was just super fun.
A super long day, though. Even with the couple
cancellations, I think there was 17 fights. Jesus.
So definitely worth the $100. I'll say that.
But it was a good time. Got to see Superbond.
That was a long time ago. I don't remember any
specifics, to be honest. Muay Thai is way better
than MMA, though. Oh, absolutely. One was a lot
more fun than Ryzen, and I don't think it's just
because it was a bigger card. Well, kickboxing
and Muay Thai is all action. Yeah, this one was
in a cage. It did have some grappling stuff,
but... Because the ladies... What was... She's
not the hand. What's the girl's name? Stamp?
Stamp, yes. She's MMA, right? She competes in
all the sports for one. Okay, well, it was an
MMA fight, so I think that was part of it. And
they had two old Japanese guys go at it. That
was pretty fun. Yeah, that MMA one. But they
weren't doing a whole lot of grappling. And when
they were grappling, they were actively trying
to submit each other. Yeah, they had one Brazilian
jiu -jitsu or something. I went to the bathroom
and bought some beer and stuff. I wasn't sitting
through that. Oh, yeah. That one, I've been catching
up on the card. I kind of tuned out after like
three minutes. the arena emptied it was crazy
like i'd say three quarters of the people went
to the bathroom during that one intermission
yeah but no the whole card was fun though as
a whole um japan is really quiet so it didn't
have the same feel as like watching one on tv
when it's in thailand but Yeah, I did notice
when I was rewatching that the crowd is not the
best. Quiet. Yeah. Yeah. There was none of the,
like, series of knees with people screaming at
each knee. Yeah. Let's get to some news. Fucking
not breaking, but breaking my heart. Janubek.
Piss is hot. What a fucking idiot. Swears up
and down that he did. I haven't changed my regimen
at all. The first time I was tested by Vada,
everything came back clean. I haven't changed
my vitamin regimen or my supplement regimen.
Yeah. Well, and what did he test positive for?
It sounded like some fucking radioactive chemical.
Like Melbonium or something. I haven't. I didn't
see what it was. The name is funny. Give me a
second. Everybody just says banned substance.
Yeah, that's all I've been seeing. Yeah. Nah,
I saw it. It starts with an M and it sounds radioactive.
It may very well have been. Anyways, I'm not
going to find it quickly enough. Yeah, it just...
I mean, I'm not super surprised, but it makes
me sad. And he just fucked himself. Like, he
already had trouble getting fights. This is going
to make it worse. Yeah, definitely. There's this
old... Some old post on, I think, Reddit or something
that I saw is like, what's a life hack or secret
tip you have? It's whenever there's like a disaster,
a man -made disaster in whatever region, travel
there because no one wants to go there. So there's
not going to be a lot of tourists around. Oh,
yeah, yeah. Security's going to be beefed up
and everything. If it was like a violent event.
And so I'm thinking now might be the perfect
time to fight Janabek because he's going to be
under a lot higher scrutiny. That's true. And
I did find it. The substance is meldonium. You
almost had that. I was pretty close. Yeah. So
it just sounds like something at the bottom of
the periodic table. What is that? Maldonium.
Give me a second. So it was banned in 2016, so
it's probably pretty new. And it's famous from
Russia and the Eastern Bloc. Cardiovascular,
neurological, and medical conditions is the...
Proper use. So I assume it helps with your cardiovascular.
Yeah, stamina. Stamina, yeah. It's a metabolic
modulator altering enzyme reactions in the body.
Maria Sharapova used meldonium before the bat.
That explains that. She was really successful
in her... She was a tennis player? uh yep yeah
okay because well before it before it was banned
uh people just used it openly because it wasn't
yeah because it wasn't yeah so so it's proper
uses to treat problems with brain circulation
uh and has been reported to improve mood motor
symptoms dizziness and nausea so Anyways, it's
an old school Eastern Bloc performance enhancer,
which tracks for Janabek, I guess. Yeah, that's
what I was thinking. He's from Kazakhstan, so
it kind of makes sense. But it's been around
since the, I think, 80s, but only got banned
in 2016. Nobody agrees if it actually enhances
your performance or not. Interesting. Bro science.
Yeah. Speaking of testing positive, though, Matias
popped for Osterine. But then he didn't. Yeah,
I was going to say, like, I saw that he was in
trouble, but then he wasn't. Yeah. I don't know.
I wasn't in my phone at that time. I haven't
gotten, I don't think anybody has really said
why they say it wasn't a problem. So they changed
their mind in three days. So it's not because
of an investigation or anything. And he did test
very low, like Ryan Garcia. But I wonder if the
B sample came in not positive. Everybody reported
the A sample was positive, and then the B sample
wasn't. But I haven't seen anything concrete
on that, but that's the only reasonable explanation
I can think of for the three -day turnaround
on him not being in trouble. But, who was it?
It wasn't VADA that said it wasn't an issue,
it was... Is it the WBC? It was the belt organization.
Yeah, I remember seeing that. That they weren't
going to hold it against him. Yeah, that's also
very weird. So probably they just don't want
to cancel the... Because he's Puerto Rican? Cuban?
Puerto Rican. They don't want to cancel the main
event on their Puerto Rican card. I think is
all it is. But people are especially pissed that
Matias popped because that guy died after their
fight. So now everybody's calling him a murderer
because he probably was on steroids when he killed
a guy. I don't think you can do that, but...
I mean... That's a little bit of a reach. Yeah.
Man, but it comes with the, like, my personal
mantra of, like, everyone's on something. Yeah.
So. Yeah, I, this looks really, like, belt corruption
to me, so I'm not very happy about it, but it
is what it is, I guess. Hmm. I don't know if
this is speaking of belt corruption, but Moses
Atauma and Lawrence Okoli are... Are a WBC eliminator.
Fun. Is it? No. No, I can only hope that Atauma
puts Okoli out early. Okoli is so boring. He's
a negative fighter, for sure. But at least they're
both coming off of wins. For a Tauma, yes. But
for like a Koli, I guess you can call that a
win. I mean, he's had a couple wins in a row.
They're just not very good competition. I think.
And they're not very exciting to watch. Yeah,
he's got three wins in a row. So I can't really
complain about that. It's weird that Okoli ends
up in that position. Well, no, not so much. You
said he's got three wins in a row. Heavyweight
is desperate for anyone they can get. He's got
the WBC silver. Okoli does? Yeah. Okay, so he's
earned it. Kind of. Yeah, I do not care about
this fight for many reasons, but Okoli is so
fucking boring. Some other orders from the WBC.
Ben Whitaker versus Joshua Buozzi. I think this
is a good step up for Whitaker. Yeah. I gotta
look up which one is Buozzi. I forget what he
looks like. Callum Smith. I think that was his
first loss. Yeah, yeah. I recognize him. Obviously,
I recognize him, but I just need a picture. Yeah,
that could be fun. I kind of hope Whitaker loses.
He's not going to, but I kind of hope he does.
He hasn't been doing a whole lot of the dancing
shit, though, has he? No, I just don't like him.
He's the one who pulled the guy over and then
hurt himself, right? Yes. Yeah. Come on, Leo.
You can't cheer for that. I liked him when he
was doing the dancing stuff. I didn't like him
then either. Emmanuel Augustus 2 .0. No. Not
nearly as cool as Emmanuel Augustus. Another
one. Mbili vs Shiraz. I wanted the rematch. I
did too. This is actually a good fight, yes.
Lester Martinez and Mbili got unsettled business.
Yeah. Well, and Lester Martinez, I think, will
win the rematch. I think Mbili's slightly ducking
here. Lester was making good adjustments and
Mbili was not. What's this an eliminator for
again? 168? Which would be Crawford now, right?
Yes. Well, no. Not anymore. Oh, right. No, not
anymore. Because Crawford got stripped of the
WBC. Because he didn't want to pay extortion
fees. Whiny. I think the... They were talking
about it in Discord an hour or so ago. About
how the other organizations have set percentages
that they take of purses. And the WBC doesn't.
And they take a percentage of overall income,
I guess. Okay, that does sound kind of shit.
Yeah, it's a little funky. I think Terrence Crawford
was good. It was a good move to stand on his
business for that one because like he paid the
other ones. So it's not like he doesn't want
to just he just doesn't want to pay the sanctioning
fees. Right. He just doesn't agree with the WBC.
Yeah. They're wanting a bigger slice for reasons.
Yeah. No, I hadn't. I hadn't heard the specifics
there. I guess that makes sense. Like, I assumed
it was also a set percentage. He just didn't
like how high the percentage was. But if it's
not, that's... They don't operate the same as
everyone else. Yeah, I can see his point. Tinfoil
hat. They're saying that, like, the chat was
saying that, like, the WBC is intentionally making
shit look really bad to give Turkey and Dana
White... better clearance for the Oli reform?
Yeah, I saw not just on Discord. I saw that in
a couple places. They might use Terrence Crawford
for that, but I don't know if Terrence is doing
that on purpose. Do you know what I mean? Yeah.
His situation is just convenient for them. Yeah.
He has been having a bit of a meltdown on Twitter,
though, that I have not been following. Because
one of the things I like about Terrence is he's
usually pretty quiet and just does his stuff.
I follow him on Instagram where he's not crazy.
He just puts up training videos and hunting videos
and stuff. Because he likes to hunt and fish.
But his Twitter seems to have gone off last week.
Yeah, I guess that's the difference between the
two platforms, because I don't use Twitter either,
so I don't really know the full extent of the
meltdown, or what he's been saying. Yeah, I guess
probably the guys over on B -Sides will have
Twitter. Yeah. I can't imagine that Alex doesn't
have Twitter. Hmm. Usyk wants to fight Deontay
Wilder. Nice. Is this a good move? I think Usyk
should retire. I've said this a bunch. Who's
left that he actually needs to beat? Fucking
nobody. He's beat everybody twice. If I were
to say anyone, I would say Deontay Wilder. But
with his recent history, kind of puts that out
of the picture. Yeah, like, I can kind of see
it. He's the last big name from that era that
Usyk hasn't fought. But Wilder has looked so
shit lately. Yeah, exactly. That I don't, I guess
in history people will forget. And it'll look
like another good name on his resume in like
10, 20 years. But right now, I don't think it
adds anything to U6's resume. Not fighting Deontay
Wilder in 2026. It just doesn't mean anything
to me. Yeah, I don't see a lot of value. Well,
there's money to be made here, I suppose. I don't
even know if it will sell that good. Hmm. Maybe.
Maybe the casuals that haven't seen Wilder fight
in a few years. Three years. Yeah. Like, if the
last Wilder fight you saw was Fury 3, maybe you
would be excited. But, like, even if they saw
Zhang beat the crap out of him, I don't... I
don't know if they would be excited to see Usyk
do the same thing. Or if you saw Parker piece
him up. You want to see Usyk do it better? I
think Usyk might actually get the knockout. But,
like, it's not going to be a stunning, like,
knockout. It's going to be an accumulation make
you sad for Wilder knockout. Like, I don't know.
I guess somebody's excited for this. I am not
excited for this. I would rather see Usyk fight.
Well, I wanted to see Usyk fight Parker, but
Parker fucked that up, so... What was the...
Howard Foster? Was that the referee? For Wardley...
Wardley Parker? Yeah. Yeah. I still say he fucked
it up. Well, he did. Yeah. That was the most
Brit of Brit stoppages ever. You can't stop a
fight after four misses. Like, the last punch
landed in that fight was from Parker. Such a
shit stoppage. What else do we have on here?
Callum Smith and David Morrell are all but set.
It's all but official. I like Callum Smith, but
he's getting to the end. Yeah. If you know what
I mean. Yeah, he's towards the end of his career.
Unfortunate, but that's the way it goes. Yeah,
I just... I want Callum Smith to win. And he
might. I don't think he's completely washed.
But this might be a good fight. David Murrell
looks shaky. Even though the guy was on every
PED in the pantry, or in the cupboard. He looked
shaky, but eh. I hope Callum Smith can pull something
out. I would like him to get this win. Would
that seal David Morrell's career? Like relegate
him to the B tier? It might. Like, losing to
Callum Smith now, it's gonna hurt you. That's
a bad sign. Yeah, like... But... Yeah, Callum
Smith's just getting too old, I think. I know
he's not, like, ancient, but... He's taken a
couple pretty bad beatings, I think. Ooh, he
is pretty ancient, actually. I take it back.
I know the higher weight classes, you get to
be older, but he's 35. That's still, like, up
there in years. Yeah. Well, and he took an ass
-kicking from Canelo, and he took an ass -kicking
from Beterbiev. Like... Gotta add up, right?
Yeah. He's been doing alright, though, hasn't
he? He's been putting them together. He's had
two wins. Yeah, but... I mean... Carlos Galvin,
and then he beat Buatsi. Surprised me in the
Buatsi fight. I was so happy. That was a pretty
clear win, too, I thought. I know one of the
cards was really close, but... Competitive, but
clear. Yeah. I don't know. I hope Calum Smith
pulls out another win. I don't have any feelings
about David Morrell, so if it ruins his career,
I'm okay with that. Eat shit, David Morrell.
That's what I just heard. Yeah, yeah. That's
what everybody heard. You know who can eat shit?
I know we're not there yet, but tension can eat
shit. I'm eating Dookie right there with him.
I don't know if this is eating shit, but this
is not the most impressive class for the Hall
of Fame. Triple G, 100%. I'm 100 % behind that.
But Nigel Benn and Antonio Tarver, I'm not too
sure about either of those. See, I don't think
any of them are super strong contenders. I don't
know if Triple G should be first ballot. To be
honest. Like, he was really good, but was he
amazing? Or did he just have really fun fights?
Really fun fights. I think some of the intangibles
here, like, He lost the biggest ones, though.
Well, he lost the Canelo one. Yeah, two Canelos,
I guess. I do think Triple G should be in the
Hall of Fame. I just don't know if he's first
ballot. I'd have made him wait. I'd have made
Antonio Tarver wait. Is this his first time up
for it? It's gotta be more than the first, not
the first time. He's been inactive for quite
some time. Yeah. So has Nigel Benn, obviously.
Nigel Benn, I'm fine with him getting in. Mostly
just... I guess because of the rivalry with Eubank.
Like... That's been fun. And I think now is a
good time to put him in after his son had the...
Whatever. Yeah. But Antonio Tarver, I'm not gonna
lie, I'm not 100 % sure who Antonio Tarver is.
I don't think I ever watched any of his fights.
He fell in that time when I just... Didn't watch
boxing as much as I do. I only watched the small
weight classes when he was fighting. You got
any excuses tonight, Roy? Oh, okay. Yeah, I know
who he is. He's also in Rocky 6. I did not watch
Rocky 6. It's too many. I think it's good. I
think it's worth watching. If you're not doing
anything else, then it's worth giving it a gander.
Yeah, I don't have an opinion on Tarver because
I don't know enough about him, I guess. But they
have him as a color commentator sometimes, right?
Yes. Yeah. That's the other thing. Like, I guess
Triple G does a lot of amateur stuff. Outside
of just boxing, he's been good for boxing. Yes.
Because he got elected as the president of something,
right? I think the Asia Boxing Association. I
think he got really recently, like last week.
Yeah. President of the National Olympic Committee.
No, that was last year. I swear to God, he just
got elected to something. Yeah, I saw it on Instagram.
He got something. I think it was... World Boxing
President. Okay. That's what it is. World President
of Boxing. Yep. Man, I... Yeah, so he's going
to be in charge of amateur boxing going into
the Olympics. Nice. Yeah. I got ghosted by his
energy drink company. I was trying to order some.
Yeah. And they stopped replying. I don't think
they ship to the U .S., do they? Small amounts,
yes, but they don't sell commercially here. Oh,
I think that's all we got in the news. Yeah,
I'm sure we missed some stuff, but we can always
bring it back. Well, let me throw some notes
in here. Fucking social media handle, LVX Media
Net, all one word. It's a fucking blast. It's
not really a blast. Follow us anyway. Wherever
you're listening, if you could hit us with a

you heard the mention of B -Sides, Josh over

then go to LVXmedia .net. We should open up comments
on the bottom of the articles. I can do that.
I thought they were open by default, but I'll
check. I thought I checked and I couldn't, but
maybe not. If they're not there, they should
be. Yeah, if they're not there, I can make them
available. Alright, let me do this. Dandruff
doesn't just affect your hair, it chips away
at your confidence. But I'm here to tell you,
it doesn't have to be this way. It's time to
say bye to flakes with flakes. Flakes isn't a
scented wash you get from the grocery store that
just masks the problem. It's a powerful, medically
formulated treatment designed to get to the root
of the toughest dandruff. Flakes works fast to
control the flaking, calm the itching, and soothe
the redness that's on your scalp. And here's
another pro tip. Flakes will also help with that
stubborn beard gruff if you have that too. Imagine
feeling completely free to wear whatever you
want, whenever you want to. Imagine just focusing
on your day and not on your scalp. That's the
difference that Flakes makes. Go to lvx .be slash

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on November 15th. It
was chilly in the stadium. You know what was
fucking cool? I went up to the beer counter and
I had been buying two at a time. Yeah, easy to
carry. That's what I'm used to. You're only allowed
to buy two in the U .S. You can't buy more. Only
two? That's crazy. If you buy more, you have
to have other people there with you. The States
is so lame about alcohol. It's weird. It sucks.
So I asked, can I get whatever the brew was?
I forgot the name. Like Madrid or something like
that? And they're like, how many do you want?
I'm like, shit, how many can I get? I'm like,
you can get up to four. And they put a little
carrier. I'm like, oh, fuck me. I can get four
of these? That's what Canada does at university
games. And the rider games, you can get six.
Jesus. Well, they assume it's not just for you.
That's a poor assumption on their part. uh like
i was there i got there for first belt um i was
waiting outside to get in and whatever i was
there for first belt so like there was nobody
else there it was really sparsely uh the crowd
was really sparse but they always are at the
beginning so i was getting like four of them
and So I'm just sitting there by myself with
my beers. Like, there's nobody else around. Like,
man, this is cool. And then you accidentally
drink them too fast because they're just sitting
there. And you might spill them if you don't.
Somebody spilled one of my beers, actually. Yeah.
He replaced it for me, but it was all good. So
Mikey Talon gets the KO5 over Faison Shahid.
I don't know either of these people. Yeah, it
was, they were like, whatever, kids. These aren't
in running order. I just kind of, the order I
had them in before. Richard Reakpour knocked
out Tommy Welsh in two. By that point, I remember
the guys, people were starting to fill in around
me. And they're like, I just hear like, who are
these people? Yeah. All right. That's fun. Uh,
Ishmael Davis versus Sam Gilly. Uh, there was
a lot of cheering for Sam Gilly. Yeah. Yeah.
That's too bad. He lost. Um, Adam Azim. stops
kurt scooby and 12. this was where i was starting
to feel my drinks a little bit i was i i said
in i said in the chat you if you can hear the
crowd you're gonna hear one lone voice cheering
for kurt scooby and it's gonna be me and it was
true yep there's a little like uh there were
some people booing just because they said he's
from the u .s but yeah whatever and it was it
went poorly kurt scooby um just could not find
an answer for anything adamazine was doing um
the guy sitting in front of me they heard me
cheering for for scooby and they're like why
are you cheering for him like because uh i'm
american too and they're like oh shit you're
american yeah been here the whole time yeah You
didn't notice. Yeah. And then they turned and
looked at me with these shit -eating grins. I'm
like, you motherfuckers. Like, yeah, you got
it. You were right. But I remember the chat saying
Adam Azeem is someone we should start taking
seriously. Yeah. I kind of thought people were
taking him seriously before this, but I guess
not. Not as much. Like, the Lipinets was a good
win, but this was, like, better. This was definitely
better, yeah. Like, Kurt Scooby is decent competition
for most people. Yes. So, somebody, Britt to
keep an eye on at 140 now. So, that's fun. The
Assassin. That's way too cool of a nickname for
him. For Azim? Yeah. Triple A? I guess. Oh boy,
Jack Catterall stops Ekow Esumen in 11. Yeah,
this was a hard watch. It was. I was feeling
myself at this point, so I was like, I was all
over it. I'm like, Jack Catterall is training
with Bozy. Bozy Ennis. He went out to Philly.
He's going to do the silly shell. It was about
this fight that I realized that everybody sitting
around me were casual fans. It took you this
long to realize? Well, we were talking boxing,
so I was like, okay. They seem to be passionate
fans. Fair enough. No, let me rephrase that.
It's not that I realized they were casuals. It's
that I realized I was a fucking nerd. You're
a degenerate. Yeah, I'm a degenerate. Because
I'm sitting here talking about Jack Carroll's
new trainer. This is true. This happens to me
a lot. I got blank stares. Their faces went blank.
They're like, what the fuck are you talking about?
I'm like, man, I'm the... I'm the fucking weirdo
here. You did fly across the ocean to go to a
boxing match. I mean. It just so happened to
be happening while I was there. So I did plan
around it. Since. Yeah. Since it was there. I
made plans. Yeah. I just mean like boxing was
important enough to you. Oh, yes. To work it
into your holiday. Yep. Lots of people will be
like, oh, guess I'm going to miss the Eubank
-Ben rematch because I'm on holiday. Nope, I'm
going to go. I'm fucking going to it. I'm going
to figure out how to ride the goddamn subway,
the tube. Yeah, I'm not going to lie. I fell
asleep partway through this one. Had to rewatch
it. The cards are just at a bad time for me.
Yeah, I was going to say, that's understandable.
It's not because the fight was that bad, but
it did make me sad. I liked cheering for Esuvin,
even though I didn't think he was going to win.
But is Jack Catterall back? He might be. But,
like, do I care? I think is the bigger question.
I don't like Jack Catterall. It's another competitor
at welterweight, which is kind of lacking, so.
I guess. I mean, if Jack Catterall, what weight
class are all the guys I don't like at? What
weight class is Ryan Garcia now? 147. If Jack
Catterall beat Ryan Garcia, I would love him.
He can win his way into my heart. Oh, that was
a bit of news. Ryan Garcia's fighting Mario Barrios.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's not going to happen, but
I hope Barrios beats him. I really do. I've never
wanted a draw more in my life. That's true. A
draw would be the funniest. But yeah, if Kataral
started beating those guys I don't like, I would
get behind Kataral. Even though I don't like
him either. The lesser of two evils and all that.
Yeah. I think he has a chance. Because Welterweight
is pretty poor at the moment. Is it though? I
mean, Catterall's probably not going to beat
Amy. He's not going to beat Tio. Well, he might
beat Tio. Anybody could beat Tio, theoretically.
Yeah, if the stars align. Yeah. Is Shakira at
147 now? No. Still at 35, as far as I know. But
I think he's moving to 40 for the fight with
Teofimo. Another bit of news we forgot. We can
cover that one next week. It's way in the future.
Yeah, it's in January. But yeah, that was...
Jack Catterall was about when I realized I'm
a fucking degenerate. I need to go outside and...
Catch some grass. Yep. And I found a fellow degenerate
during Connor Ben versus Chris Eubank. Nice.
As the fight started, it was pretty obvious within
the first two or three rounds, Chris Eubank was...
Something was wrong with him. What was it? I
don't know. He just can't make that weight. You
think that's what it was? Weight gain? 100 %
I think that's what it was. And he's too old
to be trying now. He's 36. Weight draining yourself
like that at 36 is bad news. Yeah. I did see
on social media he's not sure when he's going
to fight again. I think he was hospitalized for
quite a while afterwards. Jesus. I better fact
check myself there. But he was in the hospital,
not just for like checkups. He was there overnight
for sure. Connor Ben also looking to fight Ryan
Garcia. Yeah, even if Ben beats Garcia, I'm still
going to hate both of them. I was going to ask
if that would change your mind on Ben. No, not
enough. Yeah, Eubank was hospitalized for two
days. Like, in the hospital, mostly unconscious
for two days. Jeez. And, yeah, the pictures are
him hooked up to, like, ventilators and shit.
Like, I don't think... If he comes back to boxing,
he needs to go to his real weight class. Like,
it's... It was about the time of the knockdown
that I walked away. I left early. Yeah, you left
early. Yeah, I had seen enough. Like, Eubank
isn't doing shit. Ben is able to do stuff. And
this is going one way. So, what's the point?
Fair enough. But... I bet you singing Sweet Caroline
with everybody was a lot of fun. It was. They
sing that at football games in Canada sometimes,
and it's always one of my favorite parts of the
game. Yeah, I had went to get drinks, and then
I heard it starting, and I was like, oh shit,
hurry up, get me my goddamn beverages already.
Yeah, I need to go sing. Yes. And so I like I
had my drinks and I was like taking videos and
stuff. And then I get back to my seat and the
guy sitting next to me is like, well, you came
all the way from the States and like you're missing
the best part. Yeah. Yeah. No, I was taking videos,
man. I bet I bet you the atmosphere in England
is like crazy more fun than it is here in Japan.
I like going to boxing here, but the atmosphere
is a little lacking. I can't imagine the Japanese
people singing a song. What would they even sing?
Sweet Caroline? Some J -pop stuff of some sort?
I mean, Japan has a lot of music. Yeah, yeah.
I just can't imagine them being that loud. I
can't imagine a Japanese person being loud, period.
I mean, they can be, but usually when they're
drinking. Anything more for Eubank? Nah, this
one made me a little sad. Like, clearly Eubank
was not, shouldn't have been there for whatever
reason. I do not want to see a third one either.
No. That's the guy sitting behind me. Major Eubank
Stan. He kept calling Eubank my son. Nice. Go
on, my son. All right. You really like this guy.
Fair enough. Yeah. But he was I that was like
I knew I had found another degenerate. He was
talking about a BOMAC. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Like, oh, shit. I'm not alone. Let's move
to ring four in Riyadh. Just one disappointment
on Brian Norman getting dropped by Devin Haney.
Soundly outboxed. Haney does look better at this
weight class. Because this was his first move
up, right? I believe so. Yeah. He looked different.
He looked like he had more power. For sure. Or
maybe Brian Norman just isn't as good as I thought
he was. But I thought Devin Haney looked really
good in this fight. And not as boring as usual.
He was feeling himself. Yeah, I really thought
he was still going to be a little shell -shocked,
and I was expecting him to fight better, but
similar to the Ramirez fight, and he did not.
Devin Haney looked good. I have to give him his
props. Like, I was impressed with Haney's performance.
Oh. Bam Rodriguez stops Fernando Martinez. Bam
is suffering from success. Bam made that look
so easy. Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out
how to phrase that. Because Bam didn't really
have trouble from the very beginning. No, and
nobody watches these weight classes. But Puma
Martinez is a world -class fighter. Like, this
was supposed to be a test. Cafu was supposed
to be a step up, but Martinez was supposed to
be a test. And I expected it to be a fight, and
it just wasn't. It was just, damn, doing damn
things. Like, he looked so good. He made Martinez
look so average. Yeah, he made Martinez look,
like, completely flat -footed. looked like amateurish
the way that he was throwing the way he was throwing
his punches like trying to loop around bam's
guard and like it was comical just how wide of
a shot he was throwing and yeah just to get pivoted
on martinez kind of always throws like that but
it's an awkward thing that usually works for
him like I don't know how to explain it. And
I think he was exaggerating it a little because
Bam cuts angles so good. He was trying to catch
Bam moving. But it just didn't work. Nothing
he did worked. It was crazy. Bam just looked
like he doesn't belong in the ring with anyone
else right now. He looked like what everybody
said Loma looked like. I don't think there's
any competition for Bam anywhere near his actual
weight class. He's gonna have to move up. Only
thing I could think of him wanting to do still
at 115 would be getting undisputed. And that
would be it. Yeah. Yeah. And I think he said
that he would like to do that. Because right
now he sits on the outside. of Inouye, Crawford,
and Usyk, who are all multi -division undisputed
champions. So you kind of, I don't know, by merit,
you can't really put Bam above them in a pound
-for -pound discussion, could you? No, no. But
I'm just saying that Bam looked like he didn't
belong there with anybody. But yeah, he only
needs the one more fight to become Undisputed
2. Right? Because Bam's got three belts now.
Correct. So he just has to beat Willie Baldo.
Such a great name. So I could see him doing that
before moving up. And I'm not saying he shouldn't.
I just mean, I don't think Garcia has any chance.
Like, I think Puma's a better fighter than Willy
Baldo Garcia. So. But I also kind of don't want
Bam to come up to 118, because that's where my
favorites are, and they're not that good. Bam
will run through all of them. But that's just
my personal biases showing. Well, we did see
Takuma Inoue is able to put the work on somebody
who cuts serious angles. Does Tenchin cut angles?
Tenchin sucks. He can cut angles. He didn't against
Takuma because it wasn't working. Yeah, that's
true. No, I don't think anybody at 118 has a
fucking snowball's chance in hell against Bam.
Unless Bam comes up and his power doesn't carry
at all. And I think Bam could just outbox them.
But unless he suddenly becomes pillow -fisted,
which he won't, and they just walk through it,
I don't see Bam having trouble with anybody at
118. Damn. Do you? No, not really. Like, I know
it's... It's a bold state, not bold, but it's
a big statement. But like, I really just don't
see anyone that's going to stand against Bam.
The commentary kept like, Todd Grisham and Mike
Coppinger were both saying that he should fight
Inouye. Yeah, they're fucking idiots. Yeah, Sergio
was talking about. Bam should go to 118. 118
makes sense. And I'm not saying Bam couldn't
go up to 122, but Inouye's going to 126. Like,
you want Bam to jump three weight classes to
fight the pound -for -pound best under 140 pounds
for sure? Like, it sounds stupid. Just because
Crawford went up and beat Canelo doesn't mean
that... Anyone can do that. Well, also, Inouye's
not as washed as Canelo. At all. Like... No matter
what you think of Canelo and stuff, he's not
as good as he was. No. No, he's not. But Inoue's
still looking pretty prime, and you're expecting
Bam to go up at least two weight classes to fight
him? I think that's stupid. The other option
would be, what, Nakatani? If he were to jump
to 22. Yeah. Again, I'm not saying Bam can't
take these fights, but I would want him to take
a couple in -between step -up... make sure you're
gaining weight decently. Yeah. Like... I mean,
Crawford took a whole year off to get up to size.
Bam's not gonna take a year off. You need some
time to... You need time to bulk up. Also, how
tall is Bam? I think 5 '4". Like... Okay. I thought
he was shorter than that. I think Inouye's the
same size, isn't he? Yeah, okay. For some reason
I thought Bam was 5 '2". Never mind. His size
probably isn't an issue then. Abdullah Mason
beats the piss out of Sam Noakes. does beat the
piss out of Sam Noakes. But Sam Noakes did impress
me. Why is that? With how much fucking damage
he could take. I just didn't think Sam Noakes
would do as well as he did. He lost well. It
was a fun fight. Yeah, the cards had it pretty
wide. I think one of them was like 9 -3. The
other two were Mason by one round, though. Okay,
that's a little bit more reasonable. Yeah, two
of them were 115, 113. Noakes did have good moments.
It was a much more fun fight than I thought it
was going to be. Like... Abdullah Mason seems
to choose to... To get hit more than. I feel
like he needs to. I always liken this to the.
The theory that. They. They don't worry about
the power. That they're feeling. Like they're
not concerned by it. Maybe. But you get bad habits.
And then what happens when you come against.
Somebody who does have power. It was a really
fun fight. Which I like. And I don't particularly
have strong feelings about either of these fighters.
So I just enjoyed the very fun fight. But if
Abdullah Mason is as good as you and other people
think he is, he shouldn't be in that fun of a
fight with Sam Noakes. Interesting. Is my take
on it. As a... Neutral -ish observer. Yeah, like...
I think Abdullah Mason could have just outboxed
him. I'm glad he didn't, but I think he could
have. Yeah, his corner kept telling him to. That
was the other thing. He wasn't really listening
to his coaches, which is always a bad thing,
I think. Yeah, usually a bad sign. A really fun
fight, though. If anybody missed it, they should
go back and watch it. And another fun one. David
Benavidez stops Anthony Yard. Was this one fun?
It's pretty one -sided. Yeah, if you like one
-sided beatdowns, then this one's pretty good.
I expected Anthony Yard to do better. I really
did. He did okay in the first few rounds. Yeah.
I guess. Benavidez just kind of beat it out of
him partway through, though. Yes. Did Benavidez
get docked two points? Two points, yeah. I saw
that correctly. Okay. Two points for... I don't
remember what it was for. Hitting a downed opponent,
I'm pretty sure. Yeah, okay. Yeah, sorry. It's
been a while since this fight. I honestly think
he could have been DQ'd there. That was pretty
blatant. That was bad. Yikes. I thought it was.
Two points I have no problem with. Mostly because
it was a one -sided beatdown before that as well.
But, like, it was a pretty blatant he was down
and he hit him anyways. Not a good look. First
time I've ever seen anybody get docked two points.
At once. Yeah, I can't think of it either, but...
So it's pulling up... 175. Beevil, better be
it. That's pretty much all there is. Yeah, I
think Beevil just outboxes Benavidez. You think
so? As long as his back surgery went well, I
think so. You disagree? Um... Beevil's 34. But
we haven't seen him slow down much. Yeah, his
style doesn't depend necessarily on athleticism.
It's like textbook fucking Soviet boxing. Yeah,
like... I don't know. I could be wrong. I just,
I don't think it's a problem. Man, I could see
either guy winning that. It would be a fun fight.
I would like that. And that would be for Undisputed,
right? Yes. Which means it's not going to happen,
probably, because boxing. And then better be
if he's a... It's 40. Yeah, I don't... I was
never as high on Better Be Of as other people
anyways. Oh, American beer. But power is the
last thing to go, so... Yeah, and Better Be Of
has a lot of it. Yeah. Oh, shit. Anthony Yard,
not much for you to do. I mean, David Morrell
is there, I guess. Which one's Gwazdik? Gwazdik?
The guy that Benavides fought? Okay. Yeah, he's
not... I don't think he's... I don't think he's
quite at the top either. Not a bad fight for
Anthony Yard, though. Like on a rebound. Yeah.
But for Benavidez, it's just Bivol and Beterbiev.
That's really all there is. And honestly, I don't
really care about Beterbiev in this situation.
I know other people do, but I mean, that's just
old power versus younger power, isn't it? Power
plus speed. Should be fireworks. Yeah, should
be a fun fight. Both guys come forward. Yeah,
maybe that would be more fun. B -Ball's just
gonna outbox him, I think. But didn't... Am I
misremembering? Didn't Benavidez say he was gonna
go up and fight Zerno? Oh, that's right. He did
say that. But I'm not sure why he would do that,
but... For a big Cinco de Mayo weekend fight?
I guess. Puerto Rico versus Mexico? It's Mexico
versus Mexican -American. Zergo's Mexican. No,
I'm confusing Benavides with the other guy. Who's
the other guy? Starts with a B. That's Puerto
Rican. From New York. Berlanga? Yes. That's the
confusion I made. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, no. Mexican
versus Mexican Cinco de Mayo. I can see why.
I also wonder if Benavidez is starting to struggle
to make 175 a little. He just got there. He looked
pretty chubby. He's always looked that way, though.
Even when he was 168. Maybe he wants... Maybe
the fight is for the Winchellas sponsorship.
Anything more for this card? No, I don't think
so. All right. Time for you to rub it in my face.
First, Tomoyo Suboi knocks out Carlos Cuadras
in eight. It's pretty nice. Quadris looked so
bad. Yeah, he did. It made me really sad. I do
like Saboy, and I'm glad he won, but man, Quadris
needs to hang him up. That made me sad. There
was another one on here that I wanted to talk
about. No. Was there? Is Masuda the one that
had the five knockdowns on an Inoue undercard
last year? I don't remember. I'm getting all
my names mixed up already. Sorry, one second.
No, he is not. Never mind then. That was Nakano,
was it? At the T -Mobile Arena? Was that a...
No. What date? May 4th? Yes. Okay. On the Cardenas
undercard, Makito Nakano just beat the piss out
of... some Mexican guy, he knocked him down five
times that led to a TKO in the fifth round or
something. And I was super excited to see him
on this card because I had missed that fight
because I was on the train to the bar to watch
the show. And then he fucking loses. I was so
mad. I was really excited about Nakano and then
he got unanimous decision. Yeah. I didn't know
who this Aleem guy was. People had been telling
me that he was going to beat him, but I thought
it was just Americans cheering for the American.
But I guess not. I guess they knew what they
were talking about. That was disappointing. But.
The main event. Speaking of knowing what you
were talking about. Takuma beats the piss on
attention Nasukawa. I was so happy and so excited.
Takuma lost the first two rounds and I was nervous
and a little angry and I like got off discord.
I was like, fuck this shit. I'm done. Obviously
still watching it, but I wasn't gonna like. Yeah.
And then the third round, Takuma figured out
how to get the distance because Tenshin's pretty
tall. And he was keeping him on the outside until
Takuma figured out, I guess, the timing or something.
And then Takuma just beat him up for the last
10 rounds. I don't think Tenshin won more than
three rounds in that fight. Maybe four. You could
probably give him four. It would be generous
to give him four. Yeah. And Tenshin looked exactly
like I think Tenshin, like, his boxing level
is where I think it is. I am pretty sure. He's
not quite world class. I think any of the belt
holders beat the piss out of him. Who are the
other belt holders? He's world class, but he's
not that, like, top. Yeah. So, well, in my heart,
Seisatsumi, but they fucked him. Belt holders
right now. One is vacant. Antonio Vargas has
the WBA. Takuma won the WBC. This was to get
one of the belts that Nakatani dropped. Yeah.
And then the other one's Christian Medina. I
don't... I gotta look at his face. I'm not sure
I know who Christian Medina is. Oh, he's got
that, like, comic book hairstyle. He beat Yoshiki
Takei. Oh, okay, I know who he is. Uh, yeah,
Medina's good, but, like, he's gonna beat the
fucking Kisada Takuma, too. Er, uh, attention.
Is his nickname the Viking? No. Wrong. Christian
Medina. I hate trying to find people on BoxRec.
He's fifth in the bantamweight. Yeah. He beat...
So his last loss was to Nishida, who I think
is quite good, too. Yeah, this guy definitely...
beats tension tensions that just underneath being
able to hold the belt to me inexperienced and
I think that Takuma proved that really well inexperienced
and just like I know tension was a fucking savant
at kickboxing like I don't try and pretend he
wasn't or take that away from him but he doesn't
have that much power boxing yeah he's not hurting
anybody and he cut really cool angles in kickboxing
but they're not that cool in boxing because it's
not setting up anything do you know what i mean
yeah i just I do have a personal hate for him.
But I just also think he's not that talented
at boxing. It makes sense he came over. It makes
sense he wants to make more money. But he's always
going to be that ranked but never winning a title,
I think. Perennial contender? Yeah, if he does
get a title, it's going to be taking a title
from someone who's not that great. Or winning
a vacant one. A vacant one. Yeah. Like, honest
to God, I think even Kenneth Lover, who has less
boxing matches, beats Tension. Like... Damn.
I just... I don't think he's that good, and I
fucking hate his personality so much. I will
say, Takuma got, like, bonus points from me,
because in the post -fight interview, he was
like, I don't care that much about the belt.
i just wanted to beat tension that's like yes
good work son go on my son yeah yeah oh and this
is i guess news probably not news but did you
see um uh naoya has gone with the pink hair no
What? Yeah. So light pink hair is very popular
here right now. Naoya dyed his hair this. It's
almost blonde, but it's like a hint of pink.
Strawberry blonde? No, that's kind of a different
color. Powder pink? Romance anime character.
I know what you're talking about. Not the bright
pink, but like that soft pink. Yeah. Like a cherry
blossom. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Doesn't look very
good. I am not behind this, but... But yeah.
No, I am so happy Takuma won. I don't know what's
going on next. in that weight class. Well, I
do know what's happening next. In two weeks,
Tsutsumi's fighting for the interim. The fuck?
They put Vargas champion in recess now? The fuck
is the WBA doing? I've asked myself that question
a lot since I started watching boxing, like,
intently. Okay, so... Because this must have
just happened because I think I looked like two
weeks ago. But they've got Vargas on boxing scene
listed as champion in recess. They recessed Tsutsumi
after like two months. Like, what the fuck? Anyways,
Tsutsumi Donair is in two weeks and I have a
ticket and I'm so excited. Are you taking your
Punchburger banner? I bought a new cheer shirt.
Yes, I am going to take the banner as well. But
I got a new cheer shirt. I told myself I wouldn't
buy two shirts from the same boxer, but I did.
The first one from Tsutsumi is black with white
writing and it's all in English. It kind of looks
like a Jack Daniels bottle label. I think that
was the inspiration. Bad aesthetic, yeah. Yeah,
but this one's... uh burgundy actually pretty
similar to the shirt i have on now and uh black
japanese writing so i figured they were different
enough i could justify it i love when merch is
not black i have way too many fucking black shirts
yeah i don't know as a chubby lady i like black
but uh i really like the dark red too so I'm
excited about it. I would have went for it if
I saw it was dark red. Yeah. And Inouye has new
cheer shirts, but they're fucking ugly, like
always. I don't have a nice Inouye shirt, and
it makes me mad. For either brother, their shirts
suck. Well, if you go to the Lux Media shop...
Actually, some of our merch is quite nice. The
chibi, in a way. No, chibi Japanese monster boxer
is what it is. Yeah, yeah. That one, and just
the B -Sides logo one is quite nice as well.
Simplicity. Any more shit to rub in my face for
Takuma beating Tension? Nah, I was right. Yeah.
That's all I gotta say. He pretty much called
it exactly how it went down. Tension's just not
that good. I don't know who Takuma should fight
next, though, to be honest. I'm always up for
another belt holder. Unifications are always
good for me. Medina, then? I don't think he wants
to fight Seiya Tsutsumi again. Can't imagine
he would. Not without a belt on the line, anyway.
Well, I mean, after Tsutsumi beats Donera, there
should be a belt, but... Higa is listed as...
So, number one in the WBA is vacant right now,
but Higa is listed as number two. I almost guarantee
that they do Tsutsumi Higa three. Can we get
another draw? I mean, it would be really funny.
But... So I think... I might be wrong, but I
think that's kind of taken. Estrada's high on,
like, most of the lists. Takuma Estrada might
be cool. Yeah, Estrada's still serviceable. Or
at least we'll find out if he is. Maybe throw
him in with Tsuboi. Yeah. Oh, actually, no, no,
shit. I'm having my memory problems. They're
talking about Takuma Ioka early next year. Interesting.
So Ioka's moving up. No, Ioka's in that weight
class. Oh, I thought he was at 115. Nope. Hasn't
been for a while. Ioka's got his New Year's Eve
standard. Against some guy I didn't recognize.
At the hotel gym? Yep. Of course. I'm considering
buying a ticket. Just because. Tradition. And
Hyouka's getting old. I can't imagine he's going
to be around much longer. No, I remember seeing
you in the chat saying this might be the last
Hyouka fight. One of the last Hyouka fights.
It might be his last New Year's. I'm not going
to lie. I might just bite the bullet. The only
problem is it's on the other side of Tokyo. So
getting back on the train before they stop for
New Year's. I don't know why Japan doesn't run
24 -hour trains on New Year's Eve. Like, every
other fucking city in the world does, but Tokyo
doesn't. Anyways, the listeners don't want to
listen to me about Japanese boxing anymore. Well,
if you didn't want to hear about Japanese boxing,
then... This is a wrong podcast. Yeah, this is
not the place to be. We got B -sides for you.
Talk more about it. Less about the smaller weight
classes there. Oh, speaking of the not -so -small
weight classes. Upcoming shit. Bash boxing on
Prime Video. Badu Jack vs. Norer Mikaelian. Rematch.
I always gotta back Badu Jack. Whoever this is,
they're Opitaya or Zurdo Food. Whoever wins this.
I guess. I mean, I think Badoo Jack will do what
he always does and barely win. Just enough to
get the decision. Or be really hard done by if
he doesn't win the decision, loses it close.
Or gets a draw. I don't think he's ever had Or
it's been a long time since he really lost -lost.
It does say he was knocked out once, so that
must be pretty... 2014, though. I don't know.
I hope Badoo Jack pulls it out. That last fight
was kind of boring, not gonna lie. It was rough.
I'll watch this one, just because you have to
back the Swedish boxers. Matchroom on DAZN. There's
a bunch of shit on here. Let me just cherry pick
on my way up from the bottom. Chavon Clark versus
Anthony Holloway. Chavon's in an eight -round
fight at Cruiserweight, so that's fun. Arturo
Popoca has a fun name. Ten rounds at Super Bantam.
Oh. Boxing's fucking princess, Skye Nicholson
versus Yuliana Luna Avila. Interim 122. Oh, the
other lady might be an RJ alert. Really? Avila.
Let's have a look. Yeah, I think so. I would
say anyway. It's a double RJ tag. It does look
like she almost exclusively fights in Mexico,
which can be sketchy for women's boxing. She
lost to Dina Thorsland a couple years ago. I
suspect Skye Nicholson will probably pull this
one out. Which sucks, because I don't like Skye
Nicholson. Skye Nicholson Hearn? She hyphenated.
Yeah. Gabe Flores. Still doing it. Versus Joe
Cordina. Huh. This is the Gabe Flores I'm thinking
of, right? Yes, it is. He has a very squared
up hairline on BoxRec. Oh my goodness, what a
hairline. I'm going to have to cheer for Joe
Cordina on this one. But I have to admit, I don't
know who Gabe Flores is. He was really hyped
as a prospect when he was with Top Rank. He seems
quite busy. And he's been winning. He hasn't
been looking great in his wins, though. Of those
that I've seen. Okay. I don't know. I like Joe
Cordina. I don't think anyone else does, but
I do. And Diego Pacheco versus Kevin Lele Sajo.
I mean, Pacheco should win? Question mark? Yeah,
you'd think. 24 -0 Pacheco versus 26 -0 Sajo.
Who mostly fights in France. Well, now I have
to cheer against him. He also lives in France,
so I guess we're Pacheco bros this time. He's
from Cameroon. Honestly, I like Pacheco. Yeah,
I do too. I kind of hope he's as good as people
think he is, but I don't think he's as good as
people think he is. What makes you think that?
I just think people are too excited about him.
Nothing he's done, really. But people are talking
about him like he's going to be the next whatever.
Yeah. The next Canelo. That's not a good comparison.
The next big thing. Yeah. People are really hyping
him up. And I just think it's premature to hype
him up like that. He hasn't done anything to
make me dislike him or think he'll be bad, but
he hasn't done anything to make me think he's
the next big thing either. He is only 24. Yeah.
He's only 24. He has time. But they've really
pushed him kind of as being the next big thing.
The next Mexican -American star yeah i mean and
he has looked good i don't have any reason to
think he won't be good but um but that's actually
that's all we got so yeah five minutes should
be fine yeah um let me do some more notes here
the phone line plus one eight three three five

on the horizon. Parting words. Yay. Might be
a good weekend to go touch grass. No, that's
not fair. Parting words. Make sure you get your
Christmas shopping done. That shit's coming up
fast. Oh, fuck. We're recording on the 5th. Holy
shit. Yeah, I have done none of my Christmas
shopping, and I have to mail it around the world,
and it's all going to be late. But I only buy
presents for adults, so it's okay. Yeah, understandable.
Parting words for me? Go touch grass in a different
country. Traveling's really fun. It is. If you
can't afford a different country, there's really
cool shit to do in your country, in your area.
I guarantee it. I also, I second that. There's
absolutely shit you can do that's close by and
very low cost. Go Google cheap touristy shit
in your area and do it on the weekend. It's fun.
Don't let people judge you for being a tourist
in your own town. There's this phrase I came
across recently. It's... Everyone knows to travel
like a local. You know? Like a... Yeah, yeah.
Do the shit locals do, but it's also local like
a traveler. I love being a tourist. Which is
what you were just talking about. Yeah, I...
I move around a lot, and I'm always a tourist
where I move to, but even my hometown has fun
tourist stuff that people never do. And, like,
history stuff. It's just really fun. Don't be
embarrassed to be a tourist. People talk about
tourists like they're shit. Don't be stupid,
but, like, go see stuff. Go enjoy stuff. This
is actually not a bad weekend if you wanted to
go do something. Not missing all that much. Yeah.
DAZN will still be there when you get back. Like
a bad smell. Alright. Well, fuck. We've been
running for a while. Whatever. We had stuff to
talk about because I wasn't here. So deal with
it. Alright. That's it for this edition of Boxing
Before Dark. See you on the other side of Pacheco
and Badoo. Bye.
