WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.419 This shit ain't nothing to me, man. This is Boxing 00:00:03.419 --> 00:00:06.679 Before Dark. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Back. Back. 00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:11.279 Back. Back. Back. Before. Before. Before. Before. 00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:15.019 Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing Before Dark. This 00:00:15.019 --> 00:00:25.160 is Boxing Before Dark. Okay. I am ready, Leo. 00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:32.429 Are you ready? I'm ready. Well, well, well. It's 00:00:32.429 --> 00:00:36.590 Boxing Before Dark. Back up in your ears. Yeah, 00:00:36.810 --> 00:00:40.490 we're back, bitch. Shannara, how are you doing? 00:00:40.509 --> 00:00:43.829 How's life in Japan as you count down to your 00:00:43.829 --> 00:00:48.310 return? It's alright. It's pretty good. Christmas 00:00:48.310 --> 00:00:50.850 market in town, so I might go check that out 00:00:50.850 --> 00:00:55.170 this weekend. And my ticket for Tsutsumi Donair 00:00:55.170 --> 00:00:59.450 should be here in about three hours. Is it coming 00:00:59.450 --> 00:01:02.509 by, like, official mail or something? Yeah, they 00:01:02.509 --> 00:01:04.569 tried to deliver yesterday, but I was at work. 00:01:04.709 --> 00:01:07.489 You gotta sign for the tickets, usually. Yeah, 00:01:07.510 --> 00:01:11.150 makes sense. It does. Certified mail, yeah. Yeah. 00:01:12.370 --> 00:01:15.810 But I also have a t -shirt coming, so... Extra 00:01:15.810 --> 00:01:21.049 have to sign. Oh, you know who's about to sign? 00:01:21.390 --> 00:01:25.510 Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. It sounds like 00:01:25.510 --> 00:01:29.140 the Saudis are gonna be funding the event. For 00:01:29.140 --> 00:01:32.099 those two to fight. This is breaking news for 00:01:32.099 --> 00:01:37.340 me. I hadn't heard this. Yeah, it's 2026. Allegedly, 00:01:37.420 --> 00:01:40.340 each of them are going to have a fight before. 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:46.560 I guess to shake the cobwebs loose. Well, Fury's 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:50.579 retired again, isn't he? Right. I'm not sure 00:01:50.579 --> 00:01:52.819 what number they gave him, but it sounds like 00:01:52.819 --> 00:01:57.890 this is moving ahead. Nice. So we're finally 00:01:57.890 --> 00:02:03.010 going to see it. Who are you backing in this 00:02:03.010 --> 00:02:09.530 one? Probably Anthony Joshua, even though he's 00:02:09.530 --> 00:02:12.629 going to lose. Yeah, that's how I'm feeling too. 00:02:16.849 --> 00:02:20.150 This fight has to happen. It should have happened 00:02:20.150 --> 00:02:23.469 10 years ago, but it has to happen. Hence an 00:02:23.469 --> 00:02:25.310 exaggeration. I swear to fucking fuck, if it 00:02:25.310 --> 00:02:28.090 happens in Saudi Arabia, I'm going to lose my 00:02:28.090 --> 00:02:31.009 fucking mind. That would be the dumbest shit 00:02:31.009 --> 00:02:33.849 they have ever done. Yes. That would be incredibly 00:02:33.849 --> 00:02:40.770 stupid. Fury AJ has to happen in England. That's 00:02:40.770 --> 00:02:47.990 a, whatever, Wembley Stadium fight. Yeah. Man, 00:02:48.090 --> 00:02:55.719 that would be massive. Yeah. But of course, they're 00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:57.900 going to end up doing it in fucking Riyadh because 00:02:57.900 --> 00:03:03.979 of sports washing. That will be the dumbest thing 00:03:03.979 --> 00:03:07.719 they've ever done if that happens. Like, worse 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.419 than the concerts, worse than fucking everything. 00:03:13.979 --> 00:03:20.580 Yeah, I don't like it. I have the feeling that's 00:03:20.580 --> 00:03:23.530 what's going to happen. I don't like it. No, 00:03:23.590 --> 00:03:26.150 that should definitely be in the UK. Not even 00:03:26.150 --> 00:03:32.110 the UK. That should be in London. Yeah, the train 00:03:32.110 --> 00:03:34.229 from Manchester is only like an hour and a half. 00:03:34.449 --> 00:03:37.469 So you guys can... It's not that bad. Fucking 00:03:37.469 --> 00:03:41.110 deal with it. Yeah, it's not that bad. Whiny 00:03:41.110 --> 00:03:45.030 UK people. My grandmother lives 40 minutes away, 00:03:45.150 --> 00:03:51.319 so I haven't seen her for a decade. Yeah, the 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:57.000 old adage of, for us, 100 years is a long time. 00:03:57.060 --> 00:04:00.879 For them, 100 miles is a long way. Yeah, yeah. 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:08.939 100 miles is nothing. Yep. Both Chief and Robbie, 00:04:09.139 --> 00:04:11.699 they both kind of like, their heads exploded. 00:04:11.699 --> 00:04:13.599 And I was like, yeah, I used to do that daily, 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:19.180 like 50 miles one way. Yeah, to go to work. To 00:04:19.180 --> 00:04:25.180 go to work, yep. Yeah, easy. Oh, well. Yeah, 00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:27.860 just throw in a book or a podcast or something 00:04:27.860 --> 00:04:32.660 and makes the time go by pretty quickly. Try 00:04:32.660 --> 00:04:35.360 not to hit any deer. I guess you probably lived 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.000 where there's people. Yeah, for me it was Salt 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.920 City, but... Try not to hit any people. Yeah. 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.399 Speaking of hitting people, Betterbeof has decided 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.829 that the people he wants to hit... Are Bevo or 00:04:50.829 --> 00:04:56.209 Benavidez? I mean, that's kind of the only ones 00:04:56.209 --> 00:04:58.449 left, right? Those are the only options. They 00:04:58.449 --> 00:05:00.290 have to be. Those are the only options left. 00:05:01.050 --> 00:05:04.870 I don't want to see the trilogy. I don't care. 00:05:05.069 --> 00:05:08.170 I think Bevo won both of those fights. Right. 00:05:08.290 --> 00:05:13.410 I agree. I'd rather see Benavidez. That'll be 00:05:13.410 --> 00:05:18.149 fireworks. Something new. Who can hit hard first? 00:05:21.420 --> 00:05:23.800 I did see this thing about Benavidez calling 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:29.240 out Ben Whittaker. Whittaker. That's a weird 00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:31.959 call -out, isn't it? It is absolutely a weird 00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:39.819 call -out. I don't get it. But... Didn't he call 00:05:39.819 --> 00:05:42.680 out Zerto? Didn't he say he was going up? Yeah, 00:05:42.699 --> 00:05:45.819 okay. Because I know I get him confused with 00:05:45.819 --> 00:05:51.420 a couple other people, but... Yeah. I don't know. 00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:55.899 All that stuff up there is just, like, nobody 00:05:55.899 --> 00:05:58.540 cares. I know people care, but I don't care. 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.379 Benavidez has some weird options that he's laying 00:06:04.379 --> 00:06:09.420 out. Zerto's weird, but... Yeah, Zerto's not 00:06:09.420 --> 00:06:12.959 a real cruiserweight either, though. Like, I 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:18.040 feel like Zerto could cut to 175 if he wanted 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.069 to. It's just a guy that doesn't want to stop 00:06:20.069 --> 00:06:26.629 eating. And I appreciate that. That's perfectly 00:06:26.629 --> 00:06:29.110 fine. But I mean, he's not going up to fight 00:06:29.110 --> 00:06:32.829 somebody that's way bigger than him. Just fatter. 00:06:34.990 --> 00:06:40.430 Lazier. We need to get Zerto the donut sponsor 00:06:40.430 --> 00:06:53.139 as well. Him and Nav can be buddies. Hmm. So, 00:06:53.259 --> 00:06:55.699 remember we talked about Subreal Matias and his 00:06:55.699 --> 00:07:02.959 positive PED test? Okay. So, I actually did some 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:11.379 reading and I can see why they changed it. But 00:07:11.379 --> 00:07:13.639 they didn't really change anything. It's just 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.670 the way they reported it changed. So both his 00:07:16.670 --> 00:07:18.910 samples were below the threshold for the New 00:07:18.910 --> 00:07:23.410 York State Athletic Commission. They have a threshold 00:07:23.410 --> 00:07:29.449 of 0 .1 nanomoles, which is tiny, or nanograms, 00:07:29.449 --> 00:07:34.949 but doesn't matter. It's tiny. Like, for reference, 00:07:35.149 --> 00:07:38.589 Ryan Garcia was 6 nanomoles, so he was 60 times 00:07:38.589 --> 00:07:43.029 over the limit. And both of Matias' samples were 00:07:43.029 --> 00:07:49.439 below that limit. But I also did a little extra 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:53.300 digging just because I was bored. Osterine has 00:07:53.300 --> 00:07:59.420 been found in 72 supplements, I think, by the 00:07:59.420 --> 00:08:04.579 U .S. whatever, the sports people. Like, there's 00:08:04.579 --> 00:08:06.980 a whole list of don't take this protein powder, 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.800 don't take this multivitamin, don't take this, 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.439 like, over -the -counter stuff if you're an athlete 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.420 because you will pop for Osterine. And there's 00:08:16.420 --> 00:08:20.519 like 72 brands of multivitamins on there. And 00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:27.879 at 0 .08 nanograms, I mean, that seems plausible 00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:32.120 to me. Six nanograms, I don't know how many fucking 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:35.700 multivitamins you were taking. The whole bottle 00:08:35.700 --> 00:08:39.480 at once? Yeah. And I'm not saying that Matthias... 00:08:39.870 --> 00:08:42.710 Has never done steroids and isn't doing steroids. 00:08:42.789 --> 00:08:45.129 I'm just saying that he didn't actually break 00:08:45.129 --> 00:08:47.190 any of the New York State Athletic Commission 00:08:47.190 --> 00:08:52.289 rules with either of his samples. But VADA has 00:08:52.289 --> 00:08:57.289 zero tolerance for Osterine. If they can detect 00:08:57.289 --> 00:09:01.350 it. Yeah. If they can detect it, they call it 00:09:01.350 --> 00:09:06.179 an adverse finding. The reason it was so fast 00:09:06.179 --> 00:09:09.460 was the adverse finding was within the threshold 00:09:09.460 --> 00:09:15.320 allowed by the New York State. Is that where 00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:19.679 Matias is competing next? I think so. Because 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:25.240 he's fighting the Dalton guy. Yeah, I didn't 00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.220 look at it. I just assumed that was the commission 00:09:27.220 --> 00:09:34.240 that was doing it. One second. Dalton Smith, 00:09:34.580 --> 00:09:43.580 right? Yeah. Yeah, the fight in New York on January 00:09:43.580 --> 00:09:47.379 10th. All right, so it makes sense that it would 00:09:47.379 --> 00:09:50.120 be New York that they're going to allow the fight 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:54.700 to proceed. Yeah, so the reported concentrations 00:09:54.700 --> 00:09:58.460 are below Nevada, California, and New York limits. 00:09:58.539 --> 00:10:01.840 So it's not just New York either. Yeah, makes 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:06.710 sense. So, again, I'm not saying that Matias 00:10:06.710 --> 00:10:09.870 has never cheated. I'm just saying that this 00:10:09.870 --> 00:10:12.450 one shouldn't have been reported the way it was. 00:10:13.610 --> 00:10:17.730 Like, if there's a threshold and he's below it, 00:10:17.850 --> 00:10:25.250 he didn't do anything wrong. Right. Whether you 00:10:25.250 --> 00:10:27.629 think there should be a threshold... Yeah, well, 00:10:27.690 --> 00:10:29.269 whether you think there should be a threshold 00:10:29.269 --> 00:10:33.730 or not is a different question, but... I was 00:10:33.730 --> 00:10:36.889 under the impression there was no permitted amount 00:10:36.889 --> 00:10:44.269 for a substance like Osterine. I mean, apparently 00:10:44.269 --> 00:10:47.330 California, Nevada, and the New York State Commission 00:10:47.330 --> 00:10:51.789 all disagree that there's a very small amount 00:10:51.789 --> 00:10:57.909 that can be just contamination. Also, that led 00:10:57.909 --> 00:11:02.190 me to a rabbit hole of... You know how they test 00:11:02.190 --> 00:11:07.070 sewage samples all the time for just random stuff, 00:11:07.250 --> 00:11:11.029 like they used it in COVID? Some study did a 00:11:11.029 --> 00:11:19.309 test on sewage fatberg samples for just shit 00:11:19.309 --> 00:11:23.929 that people shouldn't be taking. And in the last 00:11:23.929 --> 00:11:28.730 decade, recreational drugs have fallen way behind 00:11:28.730 --> 00:11:32.929 steroids. Really? Osterine's one of the ones 00:11:32.929 --> 00:11:36.149 that they find in very high concentrations in 00:11:36.149 --> 00:11:40.850 just like city sewage samples. So cocaine, like 00:11:40.850 --> 00:11:43.929 all the recreational drugs you think people are 00:11:43.929 --> 00:11:47.690 probably doing, way below steroid use and has 00:11:47.690 --> 00:11:51.970 been for the last 10 years. It's crazy to me. 00:11:52.009 --> 00:11:55.990 Wow. That is... I would not have expected that. 00:11:56.920 --> 00:11:59.700 Yeah, so I know London was one of the cities. 00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:03.299 I forget the other ones, but London was the oldest 00:12:03.299 --> 00:12:06.940 one I could find. And that test was from like 00:12:06.940 --> 00:12:13.440 2017 or something. So people out there doing 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.100 steroids, but also apparently they're putting 00:12:16.100 --> 00:12:19.860 steroids in your multivitamins. So, yeah. Makes 00:12:19.860 --> 00:12:25.399 sense. Yeah. You know what's not going to make 00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:29.169 sense? Well, It'll just be humorous. Nick Ball 00:12:29.169 --> 00:12:33.190 versus Brandon Figueroa. That is going to be 00:12:33.190 --> 00:12:35.750 fucking funny. That's going to be a cartoonish 00:12:35.750 --> 00:12:39.289 fight. Yeah. What is the actual height difference? 00:12:40.070 --> 00:12:43.149 I'm going to guess, like, 7 inches? Yeah, I think 00:12:43.149 --> 00:12:46.730 it's 7 inches. I think Nick Ball's, like, 5 '2", 00:12:46.730 --> 00:12:52.250 and Figueroa's 5 '9", I think. Yeah, Figueroa 00:12:52.250 --> 00:12:59.470 is the one I don't know his actual height. Yeah, 00:12:59.570 --> 00:13:03.009 5 '9". 7 inch height difference. That's going 00:13:03.009 --> 00:13:08.289 to be the fucking Looney Tunes cartoonish. Amazing. 00:13:12.549 --> 00:13:18.149 I also don't know who wins that one. I mean, 00:13:18.230 --> 00:13:22.250 Figueroa should, but he's looked like shit. He 00:13:22.250 --> 00:13:28.500 has looked better. He's had better days. But 00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:33.299 Nick Ball isn't that good either. No, you think 00:13:33.299 --> 00:13:35.960 just keep him at the end of your reach and you 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.419 should be good, right? I mean, Figueroa doesn't 00:13:39.419 --> 00:13:45.659 do that. Like, he's not much of a jab person. 00:13:46.139 --> 00:13:50.480 No. He'd have to switch his whole style up to, 00:13:50.539 --> 00:13:55.759 I don't know, to find some success in this one. 00:13:56.750 --> 00:14:00.929 Oh, that's going to be in Liverpool. Yeah, that's 00:14:00.929 --> 00:14:06.409 going to be cartoonish. Love it. Oh, cartoonish. 00:14:06.509 --> 00:14:11.809 The WBC interim 135 belt that was recently on 00:14:11.809 --> 00:14:18.289 the line vacated. Because that whole thing was 00:14:18.289 --> 00:14:20.809 so stupid. That belt should not have been put 00:14:20.809 --> 00:14:24.450 on the line at all. Don't they already, like... 00:14:24.570 --> 00:14:27.250 They had scheduled a fight for that interim belt? 00:14:27.490 --> 00:14:31.929 Yes. They're lucky that Foster wants to vacate. 00:14:32.049 --> 00:14:34.590 Otherwise they'd have two interim belt holders. 00:14:38.870 --> 00:14:42.429 It's so stupid. I would imagine they would rescind 00:14:42.429 --> 00:14:47.009 the other one. Since it's not as prestigious 00:14:47.009 --> 00:14:53.169 of a fight. Actual 135 pounders. Yeah. Foster's 00:14:53.169 --> 00:14:56.539 staying at 130. So that's good. Makes sense. 00:14:56.539 --> 00:15:02.120 He made 130. Yeah. Like, they should have just 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:04.519 done what they always do. Fulton missed weight 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:09.159 and he can't win the belt. But Foster can. Or 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:11.860 whatever, right? He can keep it, yeah. Yeah. 00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:16.659 Like, that was so stupid. That whole thing was 00:15:16.659 --> 00:15:22.049 stupid. It was a dumb sequence of events. really 00:15:22.049 --> 00:15:24.850 disappointing from the WBC to play the same type 00:15:24.850 --> 00:15:31.450 of hijinks that the WBA gets up to. Yeah. Yeah. 00:15:31.509 --> 00:15:35.169 That was just stupid. You know what else is stupid 00:15:35.169 --> 00:15:39.009 that I had never really noticed? Fulton's tattoo. 00:15:40.570 --> 00:15:43.250 Like, he needs a cover -up. I've never seen it. 00:15:44.070 --> 00:15:49.649 His giant one on his stomach? Stephen Fulton. 00:15:55.019 --> 00:15:58.220 The giant? Did you read it? The giant one on 00:15:58.220 --> 00:16:03.320 his stomach. Yeah. No, I'm not finding any pictures. 00:16:05.299 --> 00:16:07.840 I know I don't have the wrong person this time 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:14.559 because it's... Do I have the wrong person? He's 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:16.940 the one that fought in a way, right? Yeah. Yeah. 00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:22.200 Yeah. I don't see a tattoo on his stomach in 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:25.360 these pictures. He's got a giant tattoo that 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:28.759 says can't be stopped on his stomach. I know 00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:32.980 he does. I remember seeing that actually. I remember 00:16:32.980 --> 00:16:39.860 that. I think Naoya Inoue would beg to differ. 00:16:42.779 --> 00:16:47.539 He needs to get it covered up with just like 00:16:47.539 --> 00:16:52.559 Inoue. Only stopped once. Yeah. Can't be stopped 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:57.600 except by the best. How do you save that? Also, 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:00.799 if he got that tattoo after the Ittaway fight, 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:06.339 that's even funnier. He did. I'm seeing pictures 00:17:06.339 --> 00:17:10.460 from the weigh -in and he got that after. That's 00:17:10.460 --> 00:17:20.259 so cringy and stupid. That's funny. That's next 00:17:20.259 --> 00:17:25.359 level. That's dumber than them putting that belt 00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:32.319 on the line. Well, speaking of dumb, Canelo wants 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:37.380 to rematch Crawford. I mean, I assume that must 00:17:37.380 --> 00:17:44.640 be just a ton of money. Yeah, absolutely. But 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.200 I don't think anybody wants to see that. See 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.160 how it would go any different. Yeah, I don't 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:57.299 either. Seems like Canelo doesn't have shit to 00:17:57.299 --> 00:17:59.500 do anyways, but it seems like a waste of time 00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:03.220 for Crawford. He doesn't have anything to do 00:18:03.220 --> 00:18:05.640 either. It's not like he's going to fight the 00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:13.339 other contenders at 168. Why not? Go to 160. 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:16.779 I guess there's not really anyone famous at 160, 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:20.910 is there? No, I suspect that he was supposed 00:18:20.910 --> 00:18:25.069 to fight the winner of Janabek Lara. So that 00:18:25.069 --> 00:18:27.730 he could scoop up three of the belts and then 00:18:27.730 --> 00:18:30.849 beat whoever had the other one. Carlos Adamas, 00:18:30.910 --> 00:18:35.609 I guess. Right. Easy work. And then Janabek fucked 00:18:35.609 --> 00:18:43.190 it up. Yep. Yeah, because none of these names 00:18:43.190 --> 00:18:46.339 are very big. Now that I actually look at who's 00:18:46.339 --> 00:18:56.200 at 160. Yeah. It's been a wasteland for quite 00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:58.920 some time. Like, there's no point in him beating 00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:03.799 up Old Man Lara. Really. No. The only one that's 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:10.160 really worth anything is Janabek. Yeah. He could 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:16.650 go beat up Roy and Janabek. I don't think that's 00:19:16.650 --> 00:19:19.289 going to affect who wins that fight in the least. 00:19:20.369 --> 00:19:31.190 Yeah, I don't think so either. I mean, I guess 00:19:31.190 --> 00:19:33.410 it makes sense just because they're going to 00:19:33.410 --> 00:19:35.410 get paid a shit ton, but I really don't know 00:19:35.410 --> 00:19:39.269 anyone who wants to see that rematch. There must 00:19:39.269 --> 00:19:43.890 be some Canelo stans out there, I guess. Like, 00:19:43.890 --> 00:19:46.490 the delusional kind. Okay, I was gonna say, like, 00:19:46.569 --> 00:19:49.670 I don't know, like, Isaac is a Canelo stan and 00:19:49.670 --> 00:19:52.470 I imagine he would not want to see it again. 00:19:53.289 --> 00:19:56.470 Isaac's pretty realistic as far as stans go. 00:19:56.789 --> 00:20:01.849 Yeah. Like, you need the Casamero -style Canelo 00:20:01.849 --> 00:20:08.609 fans. Can do no wrong. Yeah. Heads I win, tails 00:20:08.609 --> 00:20:17.529 you cheated. Yeah, exactly. I don't see that 00:20:17.529 --> 00:20:20.170 going any different. Crawford's just going to 00:20:20.170 --> 00:20:27.690 outbox him again. Zufa Boxing kicks off on January 00:20:27.690 --> 00:20:34.029 23rd. That's the day before UFC kicks off on 00:20:34.029 --> 00:20:42.710 Paramount Plus on January 24th. Have they signed 00:20:42.710 --> 00:20:46.779 anyone of note? Not that I've seen. No, me neither. 00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:51.319 Like, I don't know. I kind of hope Zufa boxing 00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:55.920 just fizzles out. I hope it's another triller 00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:59.960 or whatever the fuck that was. Triller boxing? 00:21:01.099 --> 00:21:09.200 Yeah. I don't know. I just, I don't want boxing 00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:14.730 to start becoming UFC -ish. I think all of that 00:21:14.730 --> 00:21:25.069 is awful. Yeah, I don't want it either. I am 00:21:25.069 --> 00:21:31.630 cautiously optimistic that the size of these 00:21:31.630 --> 00:21:36.650 Paramount deals would reach the fighter pay. 00:21:36.789 --> 00:21:40.730 It would improve fighter pay, but yeah, it's 00:21:40.730 --> 00:21:44.349 probably not. It's not gonna happen. That would 00:21:44.349 --> 00:21:50.430 cut into other people's pay. Cut into overhead? 00:21:51.329 --> 00:21:55.609 Yeah. Dana White would make less money. You can't 00:21:55.609 --> 00:22:00.849 have that. Yeah, we can't have that. I don't 00:22:00.849 --> 00:22:04.829 know. I fucking hate Zufa boxing. I know it doesn't 00:22:04.829 --> 00:22:07.970 officially really exist yet, but the whole concept 00:22:07.970 --> 00:22:13.680 sounds stupid. I hope they get... Nothing. I 00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:15.740 hope nobody signs with them and I hope their 00:22:15.740 --> 00:22:19.240 first six events are all garbage that fails and 00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:24.480 then they disappear. If the Saudis financially 00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:29.680 back him, he could make some big signings with 00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:34.279 that. But that would amount to him having paid 00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:40.480 fighters generously. Right. Which would be fine, 00:22:40.619 --> 00:22:42.599 I guess. Because it's the Saudis' money, not 00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:47.259 his. Yeah. Well, and also the fighters get paid, 00:22:47.339 --> 00:22:50.799 so that's fine, I guess. Yeah. Like, from my 00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:59.140 not important perception. But, like, I honestly, 00:22:59.259 --> 00:23:02.940 I don't think anyone big is really going to sign 00:23:02.940 --> 00:23:05.960 with them if they keep fighting with the belts. 00:23:08.490 --> 00:23:10.509 I think the belts do matter to the fighters. 00:23:10.710 --> 00:23:13.230 I think people care about that. Yeah, I think 00:23:13.230 --> 00:23:17.769 so too. They're not going to get anybody of note. 00:23:19.849 --> 00:23:22.730 Even if they do, I don't think it'll stick, if 00:23:22.730 --> 00:23:25.690 you know what I mean. Because if you go to Zufa 00:23:25.690 --> 00:23:30.789 and you can't fight for any of the titles, nobody's 00:23:30.789 --> 00:23:32.569 going to want to fight you, because why would 00:23:32.569 --> 00:23:36.109 they? Even if you're the best, they don't get 00:23:36.109 --> 00:23:40.440 anything out of it. They being PBC's fighter 00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:43.880 or whoever. They're going to have a Zufa title. 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:50.019 Yeah. Do you really think Inoue cares about the 00:23:50.019 --> 00:23:56.500 Zufa title? No. Probably not. I mean, Inoue is 00:23:56.500 --> 00:24:00.740 too big. That's a bad example. But even the tier 00:24:00.740 --> 00:24:05.579 below that. Would Janabek care about the Zufa 00:24:05.579 --> 00:24:10.019 title? No. If they paid Janna back enough, he'd 00:24:10.019 --> 00:24:13.940 go fight for it. But not because of the title. 00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:20.440 You know what I mean? Yeah. And I guarantee the 00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:22.519 belts aren't going to let any of those count 00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:27.019 as, like, defenses. So you're probably going 00:24:27.019 --> 00:24:31.640 to lose any other belts you have. Like, if you 00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:35.920 sign with Zufa, you'll be stripped. They won't 00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:40.940 make it that obvious, but yes. Or even just, 00:24:41.059 --> 00:24:45.099 like, let's say they do talk Janovec into fighting... 00:24:45.099 --> 00:24:48.900 Janovec's not the Zufa guy, but they talk him 00:24:48.900 --> 00:24:53.539 into fighting somebody for Zufa. The Zufa guy's 00:24:53.539 --> 00:24:57.119 not gonna count as a title defense, and then 00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:00.539 he'll get stripped for not fighting. His mandatory 00:25:00.539 --> 00:25:04.869 or whatever? Yeah, like... They do that shit 00:25:04.869 --> 00:25:10.269 all the time. One way I could see this work out 00:25:10.269 --> 00:25:16.309 is if Zufo does what Top Rank did with the WBO, 00:25:16.490 --> 00:25:20.430 where they established a symbiotic relationship 00:25:20.430 --> 00:25:26.130 where Top Rank fighters are always fighting for 00:25:26.130 --> 00:25:29.769 the WBO title. That's unofficially theirs. You 00:25:29.769 --> 00:25:32.630 know what I mean? Yeah, well, and PBC has the 00:25:32.630 --> 00:25:36.029 same thing. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. But that's 00:25:36.029 --> 00:25:38.390 not what's going to happen because Zufa's being 00:25:38.390 --> 00:25:46.289 dicks about it. Yeah. One thing I have to admit 00:25:46.289 --> 00:25:48.170 I do like about Zufa is that they're cutting 00:25:48.170 --> 00:25:53.089 down on the number of weight classes. Oh, are 00:25:53.089 --> 00:25:58.309 they? Yeah. I don't really care about that. I 00:25:58.309 --> 00:26:04.230 like it. How many just no junior? Yeah, no juniors 00:26:04.230 --> 00:26:10.490 or supers. But then you don't have a super fly 00:26:10.490 --> 00:26:21.930 title. Damn, you're right. Junior Bantam? There's 00:26:21.930 --> 00:26:28.420 a lot of those turn out to be fun. I just, I 00:26:28.420 --> 00:26:33.019 don't like anything Zufa's doing. I also don't 00:26:33.019 --> 00:26:36.480 like them fucking around with the legislature 00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:42.960 and stuff. That's bullshit. Yeah. Ilhan Omar 00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:47.279 standing up for fighters at the congressional 00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:53.700 hearings. Is he? That's good. She, but yes. Ah, 00:26:53.740 --> 00:26:57.279 sorry. It's alright, I didn't expect you to know. 00:26:57.609 --> 00:27:00.349 Who she was anyway. Or really, anybody listening? 00:27:00.529 --> 00:27:06.009 Probably not. I also don't think I heard the 00:27:06.009 --> 00:27:10.950 first name right then. Because I... Okay. I did 00:27:10.950 --> 00:27:12.990 hear it right. That sounds like a boy's name 00:27:12.990 --> 00:27:23.450 to me. Somalia. I don't know. Anyways. Yeah. 00:27:24.650 --> 00:27:27.289 Alright, let me do the notes here. The housekeeping 00:27:27.289 --> 00:27:30.529 shit. LVX Media Net.

Go to lvx .be slash flakes for 00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:48.799 a nice little discount while you help us out 00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:51.259 a little bit in the process. Don't settle for 00:29:51.259 --> 00:29:53.599 temporary fixes that smell like the produce section 00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:56.400 of your grocery store. Fight back with a shampoo 00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:00.420 that dermatologists trust. lvx .be slash flakes. 00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:11.430 Time for fucking shit here. Recap shit. Only 00:30:11.430 --> 00:30:16.849 two, but one of them is pretty big. Really quickly, 00:30:17.150 --> 00:30:21.170 Tasman Fighters at the Gold Coast Convention 00:30:21.170 --> 00:30:25.970 Center in Broad Beach, Australia. Terra Moana, 00:30:26.150 --> 00:30:32.630 first round stoppage, as one would expect. I 00:30:32.630 --> 00:30:35.690 think they need to start stepping him up a little. 00:30:35.910 --> 00:30:40.980 Like, don't they? Yeah, I would say so. Like, 00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:43.859 he's not old, but he's not young. They need to, 00:30:43.940 --> 00:30:49.599 you know. How old is he? Start going. He's 27. 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:56.259 Yeah. Sounds like. I know that's not, like, super 00:30:56.259 --> 00:30:59.480 old, but. They're trying to pad a record really 00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:02.960 quick with these first round knockouts of nobodies 00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:07.880 and then. But does anybody care about that? I 00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:13.450 don't. No. I don't care if you've knocked over 00:31:13.450 --> 00:31:18.769 20 cans. If you've fought like 10 good fighters, 00:31:18.869 --> 00:31:25.589 that's better. He's not getting anything out 00:31:25.589 --> 00:31:27.750 of these fights. Yeah, I don't think so. This 00:31:27.750 --> 00:31:30.650 isn't a wealth of experience that he's building 00:31:30.650 --> 00:31:33.849 up. No, I'm not saying they need to throw him 00:31:33.849 --> 00:31:37.049 in with contenders or anything, but... How many 00:31:37.049 --> 00:31:42.349 first round knockouts is that? At least get some 00:31:42.349 --> 00:31:45.470 rounds. Put in somebody that'll make them fight 00:31:45.470 --> 00:31:55.789 for six or seven rounds. Jason Maloney gets a 00:31:55.789 --> 00:32:00.890 stoppage in four. I missed this. Yeah, I just 00:32:00.890 --> 00:32:03.289 thought I'd mention him because it's the Maloney 00:32:03.289 --> 00:32:09.400 brother. Yeah. I mean, he needed a get -back 00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:16.319 fight anyways. He had two losses in a row. Yeah, 00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:22.759 you gotta get a softer touch there. Yeah, because 00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:25.839 I don't know who Herlan Gomez is, but I don't 00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:29.299 recognize him. I've never heard of him either. 00:32:32.819 --> 00:32:37.859 Jai Obataya. Knock out an 8 over Hussein Kinkara. 00:32:38.859 --> 00:32:46.420 Jai did not look great, to be honest. But that... 00:32:46.420 --> 00:32:50.119 Well, the... Sorry, I need to get my thoughts 00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:55.839 together. His eyes break very easy, Jai Obataya. 00:32:56.859 --> 00:33:00.839 Because... Did you watch this one? No, not all 00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:04.630 of it. Just highlights. Okay, so... This one 00:33:04.630 --> 00:33:07.170 I did... I missed the rest of the card, but I 00:33:07.170 --> 00:33:10.670 caught the main event. Like, round two or three, 00:33:11.029 --> 00:33:14.829 Opataya's... I want to say his left eye started 00:33:14.829 --> 00:33:18.829 swelling really weirdly. Like, you know those 00:33:18.829 --> 00:33:21.809 great big swellings that you're like, that's 00:33:21.809 --> 00:33:25.509 not right. That's not just, like, a big bruise. 00:33:25.549 --> 00:33:28.789 It's not like a... It's a mouse, but, like, a 00:33:28.789 --> 00:33:34.430 weird one. Yeah. And so he had... Because I looked 00:33:34.430 --> 00:33:37.289 it up, they both had pretty bad injuries from 00:33:37.289 --> 00:33:40.430 this one. I mean, obviously, Chinkara's was worse, 00:33:40.589 --> 00:33:46.049 but... Obataya had, like, cracks in both his 00:33:46.049 --> 00:33:51.150 eye sockets. Yikes. Some no -name -what's -this 00:33:51.150 --> 00:33:54.150 -guy -German should not be doing that to you. 00:33:55.470 --> 00:33:58.869 Wait, in my opinion. If Jai Obataya's as good 00:33:58.869 --> 00:34:01.519 as he's supposed to be... Some no -name German 00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:07.660 should not be breaking both your eyes. But, Chinkara 00:34:07.660 --> 00:34:11.300 was in the hospital for a couple days because 00:34:11.300 --> 00:34:15.719 he has a crack in his neck vertebrae. Also had 00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:21.880 a brain bleed. Yeah, that's bad. So, I mean, 00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:24.860 Obitai hits hard, but he was getting cracked 00:34:24.860 --> 00:34:31.570 in there. I don't know. This fight was not particularly 00:34:31.570 --> 00:34:36.030 fun to me, and I don't think Obataya looked that 00:34:36.030 --> 00:34:38.849 good. The knockout was definitely highlight real 00:34:38.849 --> 00:34:43.690 craziness, but he was getting touched up pretty 00:34:43.690 --> 00:34:52.329 bad by some guy I've never heard of. Nothing 00:34:52.329 --> 00:34:59.389 to add. I don't know. I was not impressed by 00:34:59.389 --> 00:35:09.070 Opentaya this time. Do better. PBC on Prime in 00:35:09.070 --> 00:35:14.909 San Antonio, Texas. This was better. Let's see. 00:35:14.989 --> 00:35:18.550 Isaac Lucero gets a big stoppage in eight over 00:35:18.550 --> 00:35:23.909 Roberto Valenzuela. Frank Martin over Rancis 00:35:23.909 --> 00:35:27.760 Bartholomew, KO4. There's some people saying 00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:33.119 knockout of the year contender. I missed this 00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:35.840 one because it was early in the morning, but 00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:39.460 apparently I need to go find it. Knockout of 00:35:39.460 --> 00:35:46.340 the year contender? Yeah. Crazy. Let me see. 00:35:46.579 --> 00:35:51.579 I think that was to cap off the prelims. Oh, 00:35:51.579 --> 00:36:05.190 so that one should be on YouTube. Yes. But that's 00:36:05.190 --> 00:36:08.969 good, right? Frank Martin. He's back with the 00:36:08.969 --> 00:36:12.449 stoppage. So, yeah, I guess. But, like, it's 00:36:12.449 --> 00:36:14.769 Francis Bartholomew. Who really fucking cares? 00:36:16.349 --> 00:36:20.469 I guess, but... Uh -oh, I'm trying to hype it 00:36:20.469 --> 00:36:28.889 up. Did you catch Jesus Ramos getting the UD 00:36:28.889 --> 00:36:32.969 over Shane Mosley? I did. It's a very uninspiring 00:36:32.969 --> 00:36:38.780 performance. I was not pleased. I thought it 00:36:38.780 --> 00:36:41.500 was a really fun fight, though. Yes, good back 00:36:41.500 --> 00:36:44.380 and forth. Shane Mosley showed up, which was 00:36:44.380 --> 00:36:48.800 nice. He didn't just, like, roll over. Shane 00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:54.159 Mosley has his dad's chin, for sure. Like, I 00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:56.960 don't think he's that talented, but he takes 00:36:56.960 --> 00:37:04.050 an ass kicking so well. It's crazy. Yeah, this 00:37:04.050 --> 00:37:06.309 is what we can expect from Jesus Robinson. Like, 00:37:06.309 --> 00:37:09.949 his power didn't carry up, it seems like. Not 00:37:09.949 --> 00:37:12.250 sure why he moved up. Like, why do you want to 00:37:12.250 --> 00:37:18.329 be a big fish in a little pond? I mean, did his 00:37:18.329 --> 00:37:22.309 power not carry, or does Shane Mosley just have 00:37:22.309 --> 00:37:27.170 a fucking vibranium chin? Shane Mosley's kind 00:37:27.170 --> 00:37:32.269 of known for taking an ass -kicking. Yes. That's 00:37:32.269 --> 00:37:38.769 a good question. It also seems like he was having 00:37:38.769 --> 00:37:43.750 trouble making 154. Because he hasn't in like 00:37:43.750 --> 00:37:50.369 two years. Has it been that long? Last time he 00:37:50.369 --> 00:37:56.670 was under 154 for a weigh -in was September 2023. 00:37:57.409 --> 00:38:03.039 According to BoxRec. He missed it. In May of 00:38:03.039 --> 00:38:07.519 24. And then he moved up. And then. This must 00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:10.300 be a catch weight. Or maybe he just missed weight 00:38:10.300 --> 00:38:15.460 again. But. This. What's the third month? March. 00:38:16.539 --> 00:38:22.980 He was 155 and three quarters. It's oddly specific. 00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:27.619 I'm just on box record. But the other guy was 00:38:27.619 --> 00:38:31.440 154 and a half. So I assume it was a. Catch weight? 00:38:31.579 --> 00:38:37.900 Non -title fights do have allowances. Okay. It 00:38:37.900 --> 00:38:40.219 just looks like he's having trouble making 154 00:38:40.219 --> 00:38:46.579 to me on BoxRec. Like, even going back to 2021 00:38:46.579 --> 00:38:52.639 and 2022, he was missing by half a pound. Hmm. 00:38:53.340 --> 00:38:57.699 I'm going to... I think those were also non -title 00:38:57.699 --> 00:39:03.190 fights, so there was some allowance. But regardless, 00:39:03.550 --> 00:39:09.769 yeah, he's not making the 154 limit. Hasn't for 00:39:09.769 --> 00:39:18.849 a very long time. But I don't know if Shane Mosley 00:39:18.849 --> 00:39:21.369 Jr. is the one that shows you have no power. 00:39:21.550 --> 00:39:26.789 That's all I'm saying. That's fair. I can get 00:39:26.789 --> 00:39:30.570 behind that. But this was a fun fight. A lot 00:39:30.570 --> 00:39:34.369 of, like, inside back and forth fighting. I enjoyed 00:39:34.369 --> 00:39:40.449 it. Did you enjoy Erislandy Lara getting the 00:39:40.449 --> 00:39:46.530 UD over Johan Gonzalez? I mean, I enjoyed that 00:39:46.530 --> 00:39:50.250 the old man won, but that fight wasn't as enjoyable 00:39:50.250 --> 00:39:54.869 to me. No, it definitely wasn't. Lara definitely 00:39:54.869 --> 00:39:59.730 looked his age. Yeah, well, he's, what, 42? Yes. 00:40:02.690 --> 00:40:07.989 I think Laura needs, like, his big payday. Somebody 00:40:07.989 --> 00:40:16.809 needs to get it for him. Saul was saying that 00:40:16.809 --> 00:40:20.489 a better replacement for Johnny Beck would have 00:40:20.489 --> 00:40:24.530 been have Jesus Ramos fill that slot and go for 00:40:24.530 --> 00:40:33.469 the title. Instead of Johan. Yeah. Yeah, but 00:40:33.469 --> 00:40:37.769 then what do you do with Shane Mosley? Have him 00:40:37.769 --> 00:40:43.650 fight Johan. I guess. Fair enough. Or just scrap 00:40:43.650 --> 00:40:51.050 him entirely. I... Pramos might have beat Old 00:40:51.050 --> 00:40:54.630 Man Lara. I don't know. You're right. Lara didn't 00:40:54.630 --> 00:40:58.190 look that good. But he was training for a different 00:40:58.190 --> 00:41:03.449 fight. So maybe... Also, I don't know who this 00:41:03.449 --> 00:41:06.989 guy is. Do you know who Johan Gonzalez is? No, 00:41:07.010 --> 00:41:08.949 never seen him before. And he looked like ass. 00:41:11.030 --> 00:41:14.750 So, like, maybe it's hard to get tape on him? 00:41:16.050 --> 00:41:21.170 Which can make you look bad? Could be. So give 00:41:21.170 --> 00:41:25.590 Lara the benefit of the doubt? I just want the 00:41:25.590 --> 00:41:29.230 old man to do well. But no, you're right. He 00:41:29.230 --> 00:41:35.409 didn't look good. I am making excuses. Oh, speaking 00:41:35.409 --> 00:41:40.650 of making excuses, Stephen Fulton drops the fucking 00:41:40.650 --> 00:41:43.989 ball. Oshaki Foster beats him to pick up the 00:41:43.989 --> 00:41:49.329 interim WBC lightweight title, which he subsequently 00:41:49.329 --> 00:41:53.869 dropped, as mentioned before. Because why was 00:41:53.869 --> 00:42:00.730 it even on the line? Yeah. Fucking stupid. Yeah, 00:42:00.829 --> 00:42:04.690 this fight was ass. I don't know what your opinion 00:42:04.690 --> 00:42:07.789 is, but this was not fun. I was not thrilled 00:42:07.789 --> 00:42:11.829 seeing Stephen Fulton being beaten to the punch 00:42:11.829 --> 00:42:15.570 every time. Not having answers for anything. 00:42:17.909 --> 00:42:22.179 It wasn't fun. I don't know. Stephen Fulton looked 00:42:22.179 --> 00:42:27.340 bad. Like, as expected when you blow weight like 00:42:27.340 --> 00:42:32.219 that, but, like, he looked really bad. Yeah. 00:42:32.320 --> 00:42:36.940 In a way, it kind of maybe broke him. I'm not 00:42:36.940 --> 00:42:39.519 sure, because when he came back against Brandon 00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:45.360 Figueroa, he looked fantastic. That's true. I 00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:47.619 don't know what the fuck happened, but that was 00:42:47.619 --> 00:42:51.909 a broken man. Like, that was not the Stephen 00:42:51.909 --> 00:43:01.070 Fulton that we have seen. Right. Oh, Shaki Foster 00:43:01.070 --> 00:43:05.570 looked pretty good, though. He did. I was very 00:43:05.570 --> 00:43:10.789 pleased. Even though I was... Also, this new 00:43:10.789 --> 00:43:13.630 nickname sucks. Or has he always been called 00:43:13.630 --> 00:43:20.679 Ice Water? I don't know. That's a terrible fucking 00:43:20.679 --> 00:43:23.079 nickname. I don't think I'd ever heard it before. 00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:26.360 I think I'd remember because it's stupid. Absolutely 00:43:26.360 --> 00:43:33.619 stupid. Um, yeah. What would you give him instead? 00:43:35.380 --> 00:43:44.000 I don't know. Shock. Yeah. Static shock. Electric 00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:49.429 shock. Did he not used to be shock and awe? I 00:43:49.429 --> 00:43:54.489 can't recall. I don't know, but Ice Water is 00:43:54.489 --> 00:43:58.590 just not a cool nickname. Ice, even, would just 00:43:58.590 --> 00:44:02.050 be better. Or it's combat sports, just water 00:44:02.050 --> 00:44:04.929 is cooler because of the Bruce Lee quote. But, 00:44:04.929 --> 00:44:14.030 like, Ice Water is stupid. I would imagine... 00:44:14.670 --> 00:44:18.010 He's going to be watching the upcoming Navarrete 00:44:18.010 --> 00:44:26.269 -Nunez fight pretty closely. Yeah. I'm kind of 00:44:26.269 --> 00:44:32.510 excited for that one, actually. Because he's 00:44:32.510 --> 00:44:35.989 staying at 130, he said. Which makes sense. I 00:44:35.989 --> 00:44:44.190 don't know why he wouldn't. He made weight. Who 00:44:44.190 --> 00:44:48.809 else is at 130 right now? Nav, Nunez, Ray Ford. 00:44:50.110 --> 00:44:55.349 Jezza Dickens. That's the one I was trying to 00:44:55.349 --> 00:44:58.750 remember. He's the WBA champ, isn't he? Yeah, 00:44:58.750 --> 00:45:02.909 yeah. He's got a fight coming up, right, as well? 00:45:03.690 --> 00:45:08.630 Yeah, I think so. He's fighting. Is he fighting 00:45:08.630 --> 00:45:16.920 one of the Tsutsumi brothers? I think. On the... 00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:25.000 Hayato. Yeah, on the Riyadh card. That is such 00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:30.480 a fucking mid -off. Him and Hayato. I would maybe 00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:32.960 want to fight whoever wins that. Because I am 00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:40.800 sure Foster could beat them. I don't think much 00:45:40.800 --> 00:45:46.190 of either of those guys. I think Nunez is a much 00:45:46.190 --> 00:45:51.489 harder fight. Nav or Nunez are much harder fights. 00:45:52.250 --> 00:45:58.369 Yeah. Jazza. Jazza. Fucking Jazza Dickens. Such 00:45:58.369 --> 00:46:04.909 a stupid name. Anyway, yeah, this fight was also 00:46:04.909 --> 00:46:07.469 not fun. Just don't bother watching that one. 00:46:07.590 --> 00:46:15.320 The Foster -Fulton fight. But you know what was 00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:21.559 kind of fun? Isaac Cruz and Lamont Roach? Yes. 00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:26.679 It was so fucking dirty. So fucking dirty from 00:46:26.679 --> 00:46:30.880 both fighters. There was, I feel, actual bad 00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:40.469 blood on this one. The knockdown, I thought that 00:46:40.469 --> 00:46:42.369 was going to be the deciding factor because it 00:46:42.369 --> 00:46:46.610 was pretty, it seemed really competitive. I was 00:46:46.610 --> 00:46:51.530 having trouble. I don't think a draw is a bad 00:46:51.530 --> 00:46:54.110 outcome. I know a lot of people were yelling 00:46:54.110 --> 00:46:56.250 robbery, but I don't think it wasn't robbery. 00:46:57.769 --> 00:47:04.269 I also don't think Cruz won, but, but like, because 00:47:04.269 --> 00:47:06.730 there's four rounds I think are clearly Isaac 00:47:06.730 --> 00:47:11.760 Cruz rounds. There's the... I think he won the 00:47:11.760 --> 00:47:16.079 first round. Round three was a knockdown. And 00:47:16.079 --> 00:47:19.599 I think he won round 11 and 12 pretty clearly. 00:47:20.400 --> 00:47:22.780 And there's swing rounds in the middle there. 00:47:23.340 --> 00:47:26.340 Like, I think Roach also had four clear rounds, 00:47:26.460 --> 00:47:29.860 but I don't remember which ones. And Cruz had 00:47:29.860 --> 00:47:33.159 the point deducted. Which I have no problem with 00:47:33.159 --> 00:47:37.070 the point being deducted, but... The punch they 00:47:37.070 --> 00:47:39.889 decided to take a point on is weird and stupid. 00:47:40.570 --> 00:47:43.849 What did they dock him for again? Hitting in 00:47:43.849 --> 00:47:49.949 the back. Oh, right. The kidney punches. Yeah, 00:47:50.050 --> 00:47:53.349 but the one they took it for, Lamont Roach turned. 00:47:54.610 --> 00:48:00.250 And he had no warnings for that. Just wait until 00:48:00.250 --> 00:48:03.940 he headbutts him again or something. It was gonna 00:48:03.940 --> 00:48:06.559 happen. And I have no problem with a point being 00:48:06.559 --> 00:48:10.099 taken. I just think that was not the reason to 00:48:10.099 --> 00:48:14.639 do it. Also, some of those low blows that they 00:48:14.639 --> 00:48:17.239 were complaining and warning about, I don't think 00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:23.239 they were low. High trunks? Yeah. Well, and Roach 00:48:23.239 --> 00:48:28.940 had his trunks around his tits. Like... But... 00:48:28.940 --> 00:48:32.559 I don't know. This was a pretty dirty fight. 00:48:35.369 --> 00:48:41.570 Pretty controversial. I gotta wonder what's next. 00:48:41.750 --> 00:48:44.889 Because Isaac Cruz is... He is a one -trick pony. 00:48:46.389 --> 00:48:51.070 And... He did use a jab in this fight, though. 00:48:51.190 --> 00:48:58.530 That was shocking, to say the least. Like, Pimple 00:48:58.530 --> 00:49:01.869 tried to jab. And then he tried to jab with his 00:49:01.869 --> 00:49:04.869 head a couple times. But, you know. He's learning. 00:49:09.150 --> 00:49:14.329 But who is at 140 right now? From the top of 00:49:14.329 --> 00:49:18.750 the list, Teofimo, Subrio Matias, Richardson, 00:49:19.030 --> 00:49:23.250 Hitchens, Keyshawn Davis, Adam Azeem. That's 00:49:23.250 --> 00:49:27.530 the top five. I don't see him doing very well 00:49:27.530 --> 00:49:33.099 against any of them. I guess him and Subriel, 00:49:33.300 --> 00:49:36.280 Matthias might be a fun fight. Or the winner 00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:41.820 of that. Yeah. Matthias can fight dirty as well. 00:49:41.880 --> 00:49:45.099 I don't think... I don't think Cruz is going 00:49:45.099 --> 00:49:53.760 to bully him or anything. Sandor Martin. Sandor 00:49:53.760 --> 00:49:58.260 Martin would outpoint Pitbull Cruz. No problem. 00:49:58.460 --> 00:50:02.349 And then get robbed on the scorecards. As is 00:50:02.349 --> 00:50:08.250 tradition. As is tradition, yeah. I mean, he 00:50:08.250 --> 00:50:11.530 could... He's the interim now for Matias. I think 00:50:11.530 --> 00:50:17.030 that's probably his next fight. Is he mandatory 00:50:17.030 --> 00:50:22.690 for Matias? Boxing team has him listed as the 00:50:22.690 --> 00:50:26.909 interim belt holder now. Oh. I thought that was 00:50:26.909 --> 00:50:29.309 vacant and they were fighting for it. Didn't 00:50:29.309 --> 00:50:32.599 know Cruz already had it. When the fuck did he 00:50:32.599 --> 00:50:40.500 win that? Uh, the fight before. Omar Salcido. 00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:46.739 Okay, I see. They were fighting for it, but Cruz 00:50:46.739 --> 00:50:50.679 already had it, so he didn't lose it. Yeah. Okay, 00:50:50.780 --> 00:50:53.360 I just, I am mistaken. I thought it was vacant. 00:50:53.860 --> 00:50:58.300 So, yeah. No. He's mandatory for Matias. Might 00:50:58.300 --> 00:51:02.980 as well hold on to it. Well, Matias has his fight. 00:51:03.300 --> 00:51:09.360 Yeah. So I guess Cruz for the winner of that. 00:51:10.380 --> 00:51:13.219 I don't interim belts are so fucking stupid. 00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:17.079 Yeah, they don't seem to actually be a mandatory 00:51:17.079 --> 00:51:24.519 position. Well, I guess if it was vacant before. 00:51:25.300 --> 00:51:30.389 Well, it wasn't because this is stupid. Cruz 00:51:30.389 --> 00:51:32.650 should have been fighting Matias instead of fighting 00:51:32.650 --> 00:51:43.090 Roach. Yes. Stupid. So, like, how is Dalton Smith 00:51:43.090 --> 00:51:47.769 the mandatory over the interim title holder? 00:51:49.050 --> 00:51:53.670 Well, he shouldn't be. Yeah. That's stupid. Okay. 00:51:56.329 --> 00:52:00.809 What 40s kind of... Heating up a little bit, 00:52:00.869 --> 00:52:07.530 though. Like, I'm excited for Gar versus Hirooka. 00:52:08.050 --> 00:52:09.969 I think that's going to be a really good fight. 00:52:11.150 --> 00:52:15.190 I think that's going to be exciting. Has Gary 00:52:15.190 --> 00:52:18.210 Antoine Russell slowed down enough for the young 00:52:18.210 --> 00:52:21.590 guy to take advantage of it is kind of what I 00:52:21.590 --> 00:52:25.550 think that's going to come down to. I don't think 00:52:25.550 --> 00:52:29.800 that... I don't... I don't see a lot of avenues 00:52:29.800 --> 00:52:33.300 for Hirooka, unfortunately. No, I don't either. 00:52:33.360 --> 00:52:35.539 I don't think he's really ready for this. No. 00:52:36.420 --> 00:52:42.159 But, maybe. I mean, I'm not mad that they gave 00:52:42.159 --> 00:52:43.900 him the chance. I just don't think he's ready. 00:52:46.039 --> 00:52:48.840 And then, I want somebody to beat Hitchens. I 00:52:48.840 --> 00:52:52.179 don't like him. I don't know anyone who really... 00:52:52.179 --> 00:52:54.380 There's only one person who does. Someone in 00:52:54.380 --> 00:52:58.710 Discord. I don't remember who. but there's like 00:52:58.710 --> 00:53:05.389 one Hitchens fan. It's kind of weird. That is 00:53:05.389 --> 00:53:10.570 a weird choice. Anyways, I want him to lose his 00:53:10.570 --> 00:53:12.849 belt, so somebody needs to take care of that. 00:53:16.030 --> 00:53:21.630 And then... Tiafimo's the other belt holder? 00:53:21.829 --> 00:53:25.929 I didn't know Tiafimo had a belt. WBO. Crazy. 00:53:31.719 --> 00:53:37.860 Anyways. Yeah, I know this fight was really controversial, 00:53:38.039 --> 00:53:40.199 but I didn't really see the controversy. I thought 00:53:40.199 --> 00:53:46.119 a draw was fine. The other card, the non -draw 00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:49.099 card, was fucking madness, I guess, is part of 00:53:49.099 --> 00:53:53.760 it. Because they had Cruz winning eight rounds 00:53:53.760 --> 00:53:58.619 to four? I believe so. That's fucking madness. 00:54:02.469 --> 00:54:05.010 Anyways, Lamont Roach should still get, well, 00:54:05.090 --> 00:54:10.650 Tank's crash out, but he should still get his 00:54:10.650 --> 00:54:15.010 Tank rematch. Who were they saying Tank is going 00:54:15.010 --> 00:54:19.170 to come back against? I don't remember. I do 00:54:19.170 --> 00:54:22.050 know that his lawsuit stuff got dropped because 00:54:22.050 --> 00:54:26.929 they couldn't get the security footage. Yeah, 00:54:26.929 --> 00:54:29.670 I saw that as well. Forgot to put that in the 00:54:29.670 --> 00:54:32.610 news. But also I don't like talking about that. 00:54:33.389 --> 00:54:40.750 Fucking domestic abuser. Fucking attacking strippers. 00:54:40.889 --> 00:54:44.849 It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter why. That's 00:54:44.849 --> 00:54:57.989 just stupid. That's it for the recap shit. The 00:54:57.989 --> 00:55:05.079 upcoming shit. Wednesday, December 17th, No Limit 00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:10.139 Boxing at the TikTok Entertainment Center in 00:55:10.139 --> 00:55:14.219 Sydney, Australia. Just gonna say the fucking 00:55:14.219 --> 00:55:19.119 depressing name. Yeah. A bunch of shit on here. 00:55:19.500 --> 00:55:22.079 Only two fights to point out. Sam Goodman vs. 00:55:22.219 --> 00:55:27.519 Tyler Blizzard. Team Blizzard all the way. Yeah, 00:55:27.539 --> 00:55:30.820 I don't think he has a hope in hell, but... Team 00:55:30.820 --> 00:55:34.659 Blizzard all the way. And Tim Zhu versus Anthony 00:55:34.659 --> 00:55:40.300 Velasquez. Which one is Velasquez? I don't know. 00:55:42.539 --> 00:55:48.699 I've never seen him before. Yeah, I don't think 00:55:48.699 --> 00:55:52.099 I have either. Which is probably a good thing 00:55:52.099 --> 00:55:58.719 for Tim Zhu right now, to be honest. Yeah. That's 00:55:58.719 --> 00:56:02.119 weird. Tim Zhu's... how what's his record 25 00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:06.920 and three yeah but those three losses all came 00:56:06.920 --> 00:56:12.420 all at once recently you know what i was mistaking 00:56:12.420 --> 00:56:18.219 him i don't know why for nikita what yeah don't 00:56:18.219 --> 00:56:22.159 ask why i don't know um but tim zoo yeah uh wrong 00:56:22.159 --> 00:56:29.340 zoo that's really bad leo yeah pretty don't know 00:56:29.340 --> 00:56:31.880 how i got that mixed up but yeah this is definitely 00:56:31.880 --> 00:56:34.500 a good comeback uh he's moving up to middleweight 00:56:34.500 --> 00:56:39.820 i'm kind of excited to see what the cuban trainer 00:56:39.820 --> 00:56:44.420 has done yeah me too i i am intrigued i guess 00:56:44.420 --> 00:56:46.940 i should say maybe excited's the wrong word but 00:56:46.940 --> 00:56:53.340 i don't think so i i i have no idea uh what tim's 00:56:53.340 --> 00:56:56.860 gonna look like this fight So I kind of hope 00:56:56.860 --> 00:57:00.900 it goes a few rounds at least. I want to see 00:57:00.900 --> 00:57:10.699 the new and improved Cuban Timzu. Timoteo. But 00:57:10.699 --> 00:57:15.340 that's it for the No Limit card. Anthony Velasquez 00:57:15.340 --> 00:57:24.780 has a fun nickname. He's the ATV. What? ATV? 00:57:25.490 --> 00:57:30.809 Yeah. What? His initials, yeah, AV, no shit. 00:57:32.469 --> 00:57:35.010 Yeah, but all -terrain vehicle, like a four -wheeler? 00:57:35.170 --> 00:57:41.929 Yes. It's fun. I like it. Never heard that one 00:57:41.929 --> 00:57:47.769 before, so that's good. Points for a unique name. 00:57:50.769 --> 00:57:58.050 Taken at the Sumo Arena. Yeah. In Sumida, Tokyo. 00:58:00.710 --> 00:58:04.329 I didn't realize it was in a... Anyway, that 00:58:04.329 --> 00:58:07.030 doesn't matter. I'm excited. My ticket comes 00:58:07.030 --> 00:58:12.409 today. The undercard's actually pretty decent, 00:58:12.449 --> 00:58:17.670 too. Is it? Yeah. For a Wednesday. Which, why 00:58:17.670 --> 00:58:20.730 the fuck is this on a Wednesday? Good question. 00:58:21.389 --> 00:58:24.050 I gotta ditch out of work. It's not like a holiday 00:58:24.050 --> 00:58:27.650 or anything. I gotta leave work early and hope 00:58:27.650 --> 00:58:34.489 my boss doesn't notice. Tsuyoshi Nishimoto versus 00:58:34.489 --> 00:58:38.550 Yu Izaki. Yeah, I don't know either of these 00:58:38.550 --> 00:58:46.630 guys. Akui, the next fight up. Seigo, Yuri, Akui, 00:58:46.750 --> 00:58:52.239 and Vincent LaCarre. Akui's fun. Like, very Japanese 00:58:52.239 --> 00:58:56.039 style. Against some Filipino guy I've never heard 00:58:56.039 --> 00:58:59.539 of. So that should be fireworks. I'm assuming. 00:59:03.039 --> 00:59:06.940 Kiyosuke Takami versus Rene Santiago. Didn't 00:59:06.940 --> 00:59:13.280 Santiago just fight somebody? Yeah. He just fought 00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:21.730 Iwata. And won. So. Yeah, I don't know who's 00:59:21.730 --> 00:59:24.510 going to win this one, to be honest. This should 00:59:24.510 --> 00:59:28.570 be a pretty close fight, I think. Never seen 00:59:28.570 --> 00:59:34.710 Takami, so I can't really say. Yeah, he's pretty 00:59:34.710 --> 00:59:41.230 young, I think. 23. I'm pretty sure I saw him 00:59:41.230 --> 00:59:50.800 in Yokohama. Against... Eric Rosa? Yeah. She's 00:59:50.800 --> 00:59:57.179 been in Korakuen Hall the entire time. Yeah, 00:59:57.199 --> 01:00:01.980 no, this was the Taraji loss. The card Taraji 01:00:01.980 --> 01:00:09.260 lost on and Higa drew. So, anyways, I think this 01:00:09.260 --> 01:00:16.239 should be a fun fight. Anthony Olaskwaga versus 01:00:16.239 --> 01:00:22.840 Taku Kuwahara. For the WBO Flyweight title. I 01:00:22.840 --> 01:00:27.119 think Ola Squaga should win this one pretty easily. 01:00:29.300 --> 01:00:31.780 I don't know about Kuwahara, so I couldn't say. 01:00:32.539 --> 01:00:42.340 He lost to Akui on an Inoue fight card, I think. 01:00:43.579 --> 01:00:51.289 Yeah, yeah. The Neri card. Anyways, I think Ola 01:00:51.289 --> 01:00:55.590 Squaga should win this one pretty handily. Maybe 01:00:55.590 --> 01:01:05.250 even a knockout. Damn. I like Ola Squaga though, 01:01:05.309 --> 01:01:10.230 so I'm a little biased. Don't let your bias weigh 01:01:10.230 --> 01:01:13.769 too heavily here. Seiya Tsutsumi versus Nonito 01:01:13.769 --> 01:01:17.789 Donair. I don't really have a bias in this one. 01:01:17.829 --> 01:01:20.159 I like both of them. But Tsutsumi should win. 01:01:20.360 --> 01:01:25.880 I mean... Yeah, you'd think. He should. He should 01:01:25.880 --> 01:01:28.860 just outwork him. I suspect this one might be 01:01:28.860 --> 01:01:32.059 a knockout too. Like an accumulation style knockout. 01:01:33.320 --> 01:01:40.039 Donair is old. He's in his 40s, right? Yeah, 01:01:40.139 --> 01:01:50.219 he's 43. 43? And fighting at 118 pounds. It's 01:01:50.219 --> 01:01:57.719 crazy. Very. I mean, Donair really should retire. 01:02:00.019 --> 01:02:03.000 But I'm excited I get to see him live. I know 01:02:03.000 --> 01:02:05.800 it's kind of like old man shadow of what he used 01:02:05.800 --> 01:02:09.559 to be. But I will be able to say I saw Donair 01:02:09.559 --> 01:02:16.760 fight live, which is fun. Yeah, it would be good 01:02:16.760 --> 01:02:20.880 to catch him before he rides off into the sunset. 01:02:21.900 --> 01:02:26.880 Yeah. Now, if he somehow manages to land a crazy 01:02:26.880 --> 01:02:34.059 left hook, I'm going to be so sad. But I'm thinking 01:02:34.059 --> 01:02:43.059 chances are pretty small. Moving to the MVP card, 01:02:43.199 --> 01:02:46.250 which will be on Netflix. At the Kaseya Center 01:02:46.250 --> 01:02:53.070 in Miami, Florida. Nice. Anderson Silva versus 01:02:53.070 --> 01:03:00.369 Tyron Woodley. That's fun. Is it? I don't know. 01:03:00.489 --> 01:03:07.730 I guess. I don't see the point, but... Getting 01:03:07.730 --> 01:03:12.590 them paid? I mean, Silva should win that pretty 01:03:12.590 --> 01:03:15.170 easy, right? Yeah, you'd think. That's what I 01:03:15.170 --> 01:03:23.650 would expect. Moving up the bill, some shit I 01:03:23.650 --> 01:03:28.269 don't really care about. Caroline Dubois, WBC 01:03:28.269 --> 01:03:32.929 lightweight champion versus Camila Panata. It's 01:03:32.929 --> 01:03:36.409 good to see Caroline back. It's been a while, 01:03:36.510 --> 01:03:41.929 I think. Has it? Maybe I just missed it. No, 01:03:42.050 --> 01:03:46.659 it has not. She's fought twice. this year. Never 01:03:46.659 --> 01:03:59.960 mind. That's fun. This one should be fun. Like, 01:03:59.960 --> 01:04:01.719 for a women's fight, this should be high action. 01:04:05.599 --> 01:04:12.349 Oh, look at Bustillo's picture on BoxRec. It 01:04:12.349 --> 01:04:16.789 looks like a 90s album cover. Yeah, it looks 01:04:16.789 --> 01:04:19.949 like a glamour shot. Yeah, Shania Twain had this 01:04:19.949 --> 01:04:23.269 picture on one of her country albums. I'm 90 01:04:23.269 --> 01:04:33.429 % sure. Sharnika Johnson versus Amanda Gaia. 01:04:36.389 --> 01:04:43.349 Neeks. Is this a... I don't know. It's three 01:04:43.349 --> 01:04:45.530 of the four belts. I was going to say, is this 01:04:45.530 --> 01:04:51.349 an Undisputed? But it's not. It is. Oh, right. 01:04:51.730 --> 01:05:00.369 Yeah, and they're bullshit. Petty ass. Alicia 01:05:00.369 --> 01:05:07.230 Baumgartner versus Leila Boudoin? Boudoin? Bedouin? 01:05:07.550 --> 01:05:15.820 Bedouin? It's a lot better than what I got. I 01:05:15.820 --> 01:05:19.059 mean, there's probably a French pronunciation 01:05:19.059 --> 01:05:22.659 that I can't do, but people around home say Bedouin. 01:05:25.820 --> 01:05:28.639 Three of four titles on the line here. WBC is 01:05:28.639 --> 01:05:33.480 currently vacant. I mean, this is some random 01:05:33.480 --> 01:05:39.619 Canadian. She's gonna get wrecked. Yeah, Baumgartner's 01:05:39.619 --> 01:05:44.769 a beast, so. Yeah. Well, and any time they throw 01:05:44.769 --> 01:05:48.590 these random Canadians into title fights like 01:05:48.590 --> 01:05:54.750 this, they're such mismatches. This is going 01:05:54.750 --> 01:06:01.070 to be stupid. I'm pretty sure. Well, speaking 01:06:01.070 --> 01:06:07.170 of stupid, Jake Paul versus Anthony Joshua. Okay. 01:06:07.710 --> 01:06:11.309 At what point do you lose all respect for Joshua 01:06:11.309 --> 01:06:17.530 if Jake Paul is still standing? I give him four 01:06:17.530 --> 01:06:21.909 rounds. Four? That's kind of where I was leaning 01:06:21.909 --> 01:06:24.510 as well. I think it should be faster than that. 01:06:24.570 --> 01:06:26.690 I think this should be a Francis and Gano type 01:06:26.690 --> 01:06:32.909 fight. Yes. But, like, if it goes past five rounds, 01:06:33.010 --> 01:06:40.619 four rounds... Fuck AJ. AJ is washed. If that 01:06:40.619 --> 01:06:45.960 happens. Best case scenario, he's, like, carrying 01:06:45.960 --> 01:06:54.000 it for views or whatever. But, like, just go 01:06:54.000 --> 01:06:57.619 in and knock him the fuck out. Don't embarrass 01:06:57.619 --> 01:07:08.940 us. I'll have the memes Locked and loaded. Jake 01:07:08.940 --> 01:07:14.780 Paul Mafia. Yeah. I might have to stay off Discord 01:07:14.780 --> 01:07:25.920 for this one. No, I won't. No, I won't. So are 01:07:25.920 --> 01:07:29.099 we writing off Jake Paul completely? I mean, 01:07:29.119 --> 01:07:38.019 I am. Are you not? I can only go with, like, 01:07:38.039 --> 01:07:43.119 a lucky puncher's chance. But Jake Paul's not 01:07:43.119 --> 01:07:46.500 even a puncher. Yeah, I know. So those chances 01:07:46.500 --> 01:07:51.880 are really slim. AJ's chin is cracked, I guess. 01:07:52.159 --> 01:07:55.320 But, like, in all honesty, if Jake Paul lands 01:07:55.320 --> 01:07:59.380 clean on AJ, knock him out or not, I lose respect 01:07:59.380 --> 01:08:05.530 for AJ. Like, is it just stupid? It's a no -win 01:08:05.530 --> 01:08:10.429 situation for AJ? I mean, he's getting paid a 01:08:10.429 --> 01:08:16.890 shit ton of money. So. But, yeah, if he doesn't 01:08:16.890 --> 01:08:19.430 knock him out cold in, like, the first three 01:08:19.430 --> 01:08:28.189 rounds, it's stupid. How many rounds would it 01:08:28.189 --> 01:08:33.979 take? Of Jake Paul. Surviving. Maybe not thriving. 01:08:34.239 --> 01:08:37.260 But at least surviving. Where you would give 01:08:37.260 --> 01:08:41.439 him some props. Kind of like an inverse of the 01:08:41.439 --> 01:08:48.119 AJ question. Yeah. Okay. Like surviving. And 01:08:48.119 --> 01:08:52.319 it looking like AJ. Is not carrying him. Any 01:08:52.319 --> 01:08:55.739 rounds. But I'm just going to assume. That AJ 01:08:55.739 --> 01:09:00.270 is just not. Not trying. Trying? Yeah. Yeah. 01:09:00.970 --> 01:09:04.250 I don't think Jake Paul can impress me in this 01:09:04.250 --> 01:09:08.909 fight at all. Unless he comes in and knocks out 01:09:08.909 --> 01:09:14.609 AJ and it looks convincing. But, I mean, if he 01:09:14.609 --> 01:09:21.750 does that, boxing is dead. If he does that, boxing 01:09:21.750 --> 01:09:30.729 is dead. Hmm. Two really quick ones. The WBC 01:09:30.729 --> 01:09:35.710 Grand Prix finals are upon us. I have not been 01:09:35.710 --> 01:09:38.510 watching. I haven't either. Saturday, December 01:09:38.510 --> 01:09:44.989 20th. I'm disowned. I don't recognize. Oh, Derek 01:09:44.989 --> 01:09:54.109 Palmer Lou. I recognize. And Dillian Biggs. Yeah, 01:09:54.210 --> 01:09:57.720 I'm sure I'm. ruining this guy's name too. All 01:09:57.720 --> 01:10:00.899 the boxers are from Quebec. Fucking ridiculous. 01:10:03.960 --> 01:10:09.659 No, they have a better BF to look up to. That's 01:10:09.659 --> 01:10:15.079 true. And a Billy. Two good Canadians. Yeah. 01:10:18.739 --> 01:10:21.260 Let's see here. The heavyweight final between 01:10:21.260 --> 01:10:29.279 Kevin Ramirez and Ahmed Kernjik. Krnjic? K -R 01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:36.739 -N -J -I -C. Whatever that is. The featherweight 01:10:36.739 --> 01:10:40.239 final, Muhammad Kamili versus Brandon Mejia. 01:10:42.399 --> 01:10:47.279 The super lightweight final, Mujabilo Tursunov 01:10:47.279 --> 01:10:51.260 versus Carlos Utria. And middleweight final, 01:10:51.500 --> 01:10:57.960 Derek Pomerleau versus Dylan Biggs. There you 01:10:57.960 --> 01:11:02.560 go. Yeah, I don't know who any of these people 01:11:02.560 --> 01:11:08.779 are, except the last one, but should be good. 01:11:09.020 --> 01:11:13.319 I mean, they all had to win, what, four fights? 01:11:13.500 --> 01:11:15.840 Five fights to get here? Yeah, I think four. 01:11:20.739 --> 01:11:24.720 And another one on the same day, Salida, also 01:11:24.720 --> 01:11:27.340 on DAZN. There's a bunch of shit on here that 01:11:27.340 --> 01:11:30.340 I don't care about, and it's just Tony Harrison 01:11:30.340 --> 01:11:37.180 versus Brian Chavez. Tony Harrison looks like 01:11:37.180 --> 01:11:43.819 he's from Detroit, Michigan. Yeah, I don't know 01:11:43.819 --> 01:11:46.060 who these two people are either, to be honest. 01:11:47.840 --> 01:11:52.199 You've seen Tony Harrison before. His fight against 01:11:52.199 --> 01:11:59.899 Tim Zhu, Jermell Charlo. Okay. Fought Jarrett 01:11:59.899 --> 01:12:04.920 Hurd a while ago. Oh, he beat Jermel Charlo. 01:12:05.479 --> 01:12:08.520 Interesting. He beat him the first time. Yeah. 01:12:09.260 --> 01:12:16.920 Got knocked out the second time. Alright. Yeah. 01:12:16.979 --> 01:12:25.779 I didn't recognize his box rec pitcher. That's 01:12:25.779 --> 01:12:29.470 all we got though. It's not bad, though, for 01:12:29.470 --> 01:12:32.250 December. Mid -December, things usually are kind 01:12:32.250 --> 01:12:38.789 of slow. Yeah. But there's stuff coming up. Hold 01:12:38.789 --> 01:12:44.069 on. Let me do the fucking shit here. What if 01:12:44.069 --> 01:12:46.109 your best thinking day wasn't a lucky accident? 01:12:46.550 --> 01:12:49.250 What if you could access that clarity, that sharp 01:12:49.250 --> 01:12:52.289 focus, that feeling of being completely on whenever 01:12:52.289 --> 01:12:55.010 you need it? We live in a world of distraction. 01:12:55.640 --> 01:12:58.539 where mental fog can settle in before noon. You 01:12:58.539 --> 01:13:01.100 need a natural edge, a simple way to clear the 01:13:01.100 --> 01:13:04.239 noise and elevate your mind.

For centuries, these mushrooms 01:13:09.979 --> 01:13:12.079 have been revered for the unique compounds that 01:13:12.079 --> 01:13:16.500 support brain health in very groovy ways.

Don't forget to finish 01:15:53.100 --> 01:15:56.159 your Christmas shopping. I think I might go check 01:15:56.159 --> 01:16:00.960 out the Christmas market here this weekend. My 01:16:00.960 --> 01:16:03.300 Christmas shopping is all fucked and nobody's 01:16:03.300 --> 01:16:05.800 getting anything until sometime in February probably, 01:16:06.000 --> 01:16:16.340 but you know. Yours doesn't have to be. Oh, also, 01:16:16.420 --> 01:16:18.600 I know I complained to you already, Leo, but 01:16:18.600 --> 01:16:22.300 I bought the new t -shirt for Tsutsumi and he 01:16:22.300 --> 01:16:24.840 just announced that his next one is a Peanuts 01:16:24.840 --> 01:16:29.800 collaboration. And I'm so pissed off. Hands up. 01:16:29.819 --> 01:16:34.119 What the F? Yeah, I might have to buy a third 01:16:34.119 --> 01:16:38.859 shirt. It just might happen. He's got a little 01:16:38.859 --> 01:16:43.260 Peanuts guy with the belt and it's definitely 01:16:43.260 --> 01:16:51.159 ripping off... With the blanket and the belt. 01:16:51.699 --> 01:16:56.619 Anyways, it's pretty cute. I think he saw your 01:16:56.619 --> 01:17:02.060 cheeseburger and got inspired. I did give him 01:17:02.060 --> 01:17:08.079 a sticker when I met him. Has he figured out 01:17:08.079 --> 01:17:11.960 what to do with it yet? I have not seen it stuck 01:17:11.960 --> 01:17:14.779 on any water bottles or anything. He probably 01:17:14.779 --> 01:17:26.319 threw it out, but... He was doing another restaurant 01:17:26.319 --> 01:17:30.539 collaboration, but this time he was a chef at 01:17:30.539 --> 01:17:34.800 the fancy French restaurant somewhere. I forget 01:17:34.800 --> 01:17:38.380 where. So he would cook your food for you. Wow. 01:17:39.039 --> 01:17:43.220 Yeah. He's got some skills. I thought it was 01:17:43.220 --> 01:17:50.439 pretty cool. Let's see. I'm going to call back 01:17:50.439 --> 01:17:53.579 to when I used to do it more often, but here's 01:17:53.579 --> 01:17:56.500 a quote from Muhammad Ali. I hated every minute 01:17:56.500 --> 01:17:59.159 of training, but I said, don't quit. Suffer now 01:17:59.159 --> 01:18:00.920 and live the rest of your life as a champion. 01:18:04.939 --> 01:18:11.060 And get Parkinson's. Sorry, I was uncalled for. 01:18:13.420 --> 01:18:19.420 Happens with boxing. Yeah. That's it, though, 01:18:19.500 --> 01:18:22.060 for this edition of Boxing Before Dark. We'll 01:18:22.060 --> 01:18:24.279 fucking see you on the other side of Jake Paul 01:18:24.279 --> 01:18:29.420 annihilating Anthony Joshua. Boxing is dead.
