WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:24.600 This shit ain't nothing to me, man. So, let's 00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:29.739 fucking boogie. That's where I'm gonna... Do 00:00:29.739 --> 00:00:36.399 my editing. Boxing before dark. It's been a dark 00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:41.520 period without us, hasn't it? So dark. Boxing 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:48.560 is back, baby. Oh, the big news. Terrence Crawford 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:56.219 retires. Yeah. I was a little surprised. I wasn't. 00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.409 Not so much. I thought he might take a few more 00:01:00.409 --> 00:01:03.049 fights, but I knew this was coming, right? It 00:01:03.049 --> 00:01:07.150 was imminent. I knew it was soon, but I thought 00:01:07.150 --> 00:01:10.810 after the Canelo win, he'd take, excuse me, like 00:01:10.810 --> 00:01:14.689 one or two more big fights, kind of like victory 00:01:14.689 --> 00:01:20.569 lap money grab -ish. Like Floyd did with Andre 00:01:20.569 --> 00:01:26.870 Berto? Yeah. I'm still not convinced that Crawford 00:01:26.870 --> 00:01:32.829 doesn't come back. for something. Like, he gave 00:01:32.829 --> 00:01:35.849 up all the belts and stuff, so clearly that's 00:01:35.849 --> 00:01:38.230 not what he's after, but if he gets offered a 00:01:38.230 --> 00:01:42.069 bunch of money to have an exhibition with Floyd 00:01:42.069 --> 00:01:45.810 Mayweather or something, although I don't think 00:01:45.810 --> 00:01:52.230 Floyd would do that, but... Hmm. I think if they 00:01:52.230 --> 00:01:57.400 could line up a shot at Undisputed for 160, He 00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.900 would take that? Yeah, in one or two fights. 00:02:00.099 --> 00:02:05.459 Yeah. Yeah, I think Janabek popping really ruined 00:02:05.459 --> 00:02:09.620 Crawford's plans. Yeah, to sweep up 160 as well. 00:02:10.419 --> 00:02:13.479 Yeah, because that was a unification fight, right? 00:02:13.699 --> 00:02:18.000 Janabek? Janabek and Lara, yeah. Yeah. That would 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.120 have gave him two belts, and then he's just got... 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.409 That would have given him three. Three. Okay. 00:02:23.509 --> 00:02:26.169 Yeah. So that was definitely what Crawford was 00:02:26.169 --> 00:02:32.189 planning. Yep. Would have given him an easy... 00:02:32.189 --> 00:02:34.090 I don't know. I think Janabek would have been 00:02:34.090 --> 00:02:36.729 not as... I think that would have been a harder 00:02:36.729 --> 00:02:40.469 fight than Canelo gave him. I think so too. Yeah. 00:02:42.069 --> 00:02:45.550 Just a little bit more awkward. Well, better 00:02:45.550 --> 00:02:49.370 footwork, better movement. Yeah. Canelo's really 00:02:49.370 --> 00:02:55.189 kind of slow with his feet. Especially now. Yeah, 00:02:55.210 --> 00:02:58.069 he's definitely not gotten better as he's aged. 00:03:00.490 --> 00:03:02.889 Yeah, I don't know. A bunch of people are like, 00:03:02.949 --> 00:03:05.349 no, Crawford's completely retired. He wouldn't 00:03:05.349 --> 00:03:08.590 say it and not do it, but I don't know. Crawford's 00:03:08.590 --> 00:03:12.069 still shelling for Saudi so bad. I feel like 00:03:12.069 --> 00:03:17.629 he's trying to line up something. He is. He's 00:03:17.629 --> 00:03:21.110 really pushing for the ring being the only legitimate 00:03:21.110 --> 00:03:26.139 title. Come on, man. Yeah. Like, if you're actually 00:03:26.139 --> 00:03:29.819 retired, you probably don't care that much. Right. 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:36.979 Go run your gym in Omaha. Go shoot guns and go 00:03:36.979 --> 00:03:43.860 fishing. Yeah, enjoy your retirement. Yeah, if 00:03:43.860 --> 00:03:46.500 he's actually retired, like, I'm happy for him. 00:03:47.340 --> 00:03:51.539 Going out on top is always a good thing. I do 00:03:51.539 --> 00:03:54.340 think it's a good time for him to retire. I'm 00:03:54.340 --> 00:04:00.300 just not convinced it's serious. Other than the 00:04:00.300 --> 00:04:04.039 160 undisputed, if he was able to finagle that, 00:04:04.180 --> 00:04:08.319 I don't see a lot of reasons for him to come 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.000 out of retirement. I guess if the money was big 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:17.500 enough for a Canelo rematch, maybe. Yeah, I just... 00:04:18.029 --> 00:04:20.509 I don't know. I think if he was really, really 00:04:20.509 --> 00:04:27.110 retired, he would quit kind of pushing the company 00:04:27.110 --> 00:04:33.189 line so hard. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm reaching, 00:04:33.470 --> 00:04:36.910 but I don't know. It feels like he's still working 00:04:36.910 --> 00:04:39.189 for Saudi. It doesn't feel like he's retired. 00:04:40.149 --> 00:04:44.209 Maybe he's trying to line up commentary work 00:04:44.209 --> 00:04:46.490 or something, but Crawford would be an awful 00:04:46.490 --> 00:04:50.029 commentator. uh no in my opinion he would be 00:04:50.029 --> 00:04:54.329 more of like um operations for the ring you know 00:04:54.329 --> 00:04:59.029 oh okay work like making their fights or something 00:04:59.029 --> 00:05:01.410 like being it's kind of like promoting a little 00:05:01.410 --> 00:05:04.769 bit but he was so shit at promoting himself like 00:05:04.769 --> 00:05:07.670 i didn't i don't think crawford's good at those 00:05:07.670 --> 00:05:10.529 things he hasn't appeared to be good at those 00:05:10.529 --> 00:05:14.810 things for his whole career uh yeah something 00:05:14.810 --> 00:05:18.959 that requires a bit of a personality Yeah, like... 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:24.300 A boisterous personality. I just, I don't... 00:05:24.300 --> 00:05:27.399 There's some fighters that you can easily see 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.639 going into the business side of things. I don't 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.839 see Crawford transitioning well into business. 00:05:34.939 --> 00:05:38.779 Not as a front man. Maybe as like a trainer, 00:05:38.939 --> 00:05:41.939 because... technically he's really good and like 00:05:41.939 --> 00:05:44.920 he's super smart and he doesn't have one of those 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.819 styles that i think means he can't teach anyone 00:05:47.819 --> 00:05:53.740 like he's not a roy jones jr right right i see 00:05:53.740 --> 00:05:57.639 what you mean i i he doesn't run on raw talent 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:04.079 crawford actually like works at it Not that other 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:05.839 people don't work at it, but you know what I 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.980 mean. Like, it's not 100 % raw talent. I can 00:06:08.980 --> 00:06:11.560 see Crawford being good in the gym, like as a 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.600 trainer and stuff, but a promoter or a personality 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:18.480 of any kind, I just, I don't see that going well. 00:06:18.620 --> 00:06:22.519 Even any of the business stuff, I don't, Crawford 00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:26.220 doesn't strike me as good at that. Yeah, I don't 00:06:26.220 --> 00:06:29.439 think he has the right personality to be in front 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.839 of the camera doing stuff. I can see him becoming 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:39.399 a good trainer. But do you have to suck Saudi 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:43.680 ass to be a good trainer? That's the move that's 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:45.680 kind of weird. That's what makes me think he's 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:52.120 angling for a business position. Yeah. I guess 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:56.319 if they like you, they'll take your fighters. 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.519 Yeah, it'll get his... The kids out of Omaha 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:07.240 get them paid, so that's nice. Yeah, that's good. 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:11.480 I don't know. Maybe he's retired completely from 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:18.139 boxing, but I'm just not convinced yet. But as 00:07:18.139 --> 00:07:23.079 it stands, retires 42 -0, 31 stoppages, five 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:26.680 -division champion, three -division undisputed. 00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:32.360 Crazy. Holy shit, what a resume. Yeah. Is that 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:38.300 better than Floyd Mayweather? I don't think he 00:07:38.300 --> 00:07:41.019 fought as good a competition as Floyd. Not nearly. 00:07:43.180 --> 00:07:48.139 So, resume -wise, no. But straight -up accolades? 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.899 I mean, three -weight undisputed, Floyd didn't 00:07:51.899 --> 00:07:56.060 do that. I don't think Floyd did one. Yeah, like, 00:07:56.139 --> 00:08:01.300 actual things you've done on paper, Crawford's 00:08:01.300 --> 00:08:05.800 is better, I think. Yeah, different eras, I guess. 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:11.720 Different emphasis, like, career -wise. Yeah. 00:08:12.139 --> 00:08:14.660 As much as Crawford has switched to saying the 00:08:14.660 --> 00:08:16.680 belts don't matter, that's all he ever chased 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.899 was belts. Yeah, and then the belts are what 00:08:20.899 --> 00:08:28.490 made him as... Formidable for accolades. It's 00:08:28.490 --> 00:08:32.730 the belts that made him such a gold medal winner. 00:08:35.330 --> 00:08:39.990 But moving on, WBO orders Hamza Shiraz versus 00:08:39.990 --> 00:08:47.009 Diego Pacheco for the now vacant 168 title. This 00:08:47.009 --> 00:08:50.250 could be fun. I think it's too soon for Pacheco. 00:08:50.750 --> 00:08:53.090 You think so? I do. You think Shiraz has it? 00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.720 Uh, as much as I don't, I will be cheering for 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.440 Diego Pacheco, but I'm going to be, I'm not going 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:03.639 to be like, uh, like the way the guys are with, 00:09:03.659 --> 00:09:06.940 uh, Osley's Iglesias. Yeah. I'm not going to 00:09:06.940 --> 00:09:11.940 be like that. Fair. Um, I'll be, it'll be, uh, 00:09:11.980 --> 00:09:17.039 quiet, a little bit more reserved support. Yeah. 00:09:17.100 --> 00:09:21.419 I, I don't watch these guys a whole bunch. I 00:09:21.419 --> 00:09:25.580 know Shiraz is more of a boxer, right? Like an 00:09:25.580 --> 00:09:29.580 outboxer. Pacheco's going to have trouble with 00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:36.519 that, I think. He's more of just a puncher. And 00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:39.500 he has defensive lapses that are kind of obvious. 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:42.620 Yeah, we'll talk about that when we recap his 00:09:42.620 --> 00:09:46.799 fight with Sajo. Yeah, but I think it's a good 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:52.919 fight. Like, whether Pacheco's ready is another 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:55.240 question, but I think it's just a good fight. 00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:59.820 And I like that they're having the younger guys 00:09:59.820 --> 00:10:05.019 fight each other more often lately. Yeah. The 00:10:05.019 --> 00:10:11.940 emphasis on being undefeated is fading. I like 00:10:11.940 --> 00:10:14.539 that. I don't care if fighters have a loss or 00:10:14.539 --> 00:10:19.639 two, personally. I don't either. Like if they 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.340 test themselves, then sometimes you come up short. 00:10:22.419 --> 00:10:26.860 It happens. Yeah. And you move on. I actually, 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:29.559 I kind of like when people, I don't like when 00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:32.659 they lose, but I like to know that they challenge 00:10:32.659 --> 00:10:36.620 themselves enough to lose. Right. And that they 00:10:36.620 --> 00:10:39.059 can come back from that because coming back from 00:10:39.059 --> 00:10:44.240 a loss is like mentally a big test. Right. Like 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:49.159 when Stephen Fulton got iced by Inouye, And then 00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.779 he came back big against Brandon Figueroa again. 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:55.340 That was exciting. That was great. I was really 00:10:55.340 --> 00:10:58.759 happy. And then he comes in fucking overweight. 00:11:00.179 --> 00:11:04.059 And then he imploded. Yeah. You know, that one 00:11:04.059 --> 00:11:07.480 fight was good. Maybe he overgassed himself. 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.399 Well, the new tattoo was ridiculous. I can't 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:22.570 be stopped. Fucking stupid. Another WBO mandatory, 00:11:23.049 --> 00:11:31.649 Joe Cordina versus Abdullah Mason. I think this 00:11:31.649 --> 00:11:34.090 is also a good matchup. I'm excited about these 00:11:34.090 --> 00:11:37.769 fights. Cordina's a step up for Abdullah. I know 00:11:37.769 --> 00:11:40.789 other people don't like Cordina, but I'm a fan. 00:11:42.669 --> 00:11:46.929 Cordina's coming off a nice win that we'll be 00:11:46.929 --> 00:11:49.840 talking about as well. I thought he looked really 00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:58.000 good, yeah. Yeah. Troy Isley. I know the world 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.539 has been waiting to hear what he's up to, but 00:12:00.539 --> 00:12:04.240 he's a promotional free agent. So congrats on 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.240 your new freedom. Hopefully you land yourself 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:12.980 a nice deal somewhere. Ooh, Devin Haney versus 00:12:12.980 --> 00:12:18.179 Lewis Crocker to unify the WBO and IBF. welterweight 00:12:18.179 --> 00:12:26.679 titles which one is lewis crocker oh i don't 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:31.200 think this is a very good matchup no lewis crocker's 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:40.059 pretty one -sided yep yeah yeah i i don't know 00:12:40.059 --> 00:12:45.500 devin haney i guess needs probably some more 00:12:45.500 --> 00:12:49.399 um Mental reinforcement. Although he looked good 00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:52.539 in his last fight. He did. He looked fantastic 00:12:52.539 --> 00:12:56.539 in his last fight. Yeah. And Lewis Crocker, easy 00:12:56.539 --> 00:13:00.500 belt. Make yourself the man at 147. Yeah. I mean, 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.200 it's for unification, so I can't call it cherry 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.120 picking or anything. But that does seem like 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:15.840 an easy belt to scoop up. Hmm. The... Mario Barrios, 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:21.700 Ryan Garcia undercard has been announced. Armando 00:13:21.700 --> 00:13:26.240 Resendiz versus Edgar Berlanga for the WBA 168 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:32.860 title. GAR versus Andy Hiraoka. He has one of 00:13:32.860 --> 00:13:36.919 the 140 titles GAR does. Yeah. Don't remember 00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:44.299 which exactly. I think it's the WBA. Yeah, I 00:13:44.299 --> 00:13:49.159 don't remember. I'm trying to figure out which 00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:54.419 one is Resendiz. Undersized guy. He fought Kayla 00:13:54.419 --> 00:13:58.360 Plant to win the, I think, the regular title. 00:13:59.139 --> 00:14:07.519 Yeah. That seems like a matchup in Berlanga's 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:12.419 favor, I assume. It might be. Because Resendiz 00:14:12.419 --> 00:14:17.620 did get beat up by Elijah Garcia at 160. Well, 00:14:17.620 --> 00:14:27.899 Berlanga's just bigger. Right? Yes. I'm not saying 00:14:27.899 --> 00:14:30.759 that Berlanga definitely wins, but I feel like 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:38.799 they picked somebody that suits Berlanga. Resendiz 00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:41.879 does... He's... Full -on, like, Mexican style. 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:47.360 So, at least it'll be fireworks. Yeah, well, 00:14:47.460 --> 00:14:51.299 and I kind of hope Berlanga loses and disappears, 00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:57.399 but I don't think that'll happen. And they have 00:14:57.399 --> 00:15:03.259 Lester Martinez versus TBA. If it's not Imbilia, 00:15:03.259 --> 00:15:10.149 I don't care. Yeah. I want that rematch. That's 00:15:10.149 --> 00:15:15.230 not fair. I do care. I like Lester. But I want 00:15:15.230 --> 00:15:21.470 that Mbili rematch. It's weird that they don't 00:15:21.470 --> 00:15:26.690 have an opponent yet. I think. When is that card? 00:15:26.789 --> 00:15:30.629 It's January? I think it's at the end of January. 00:15:32.029 --> 00:15:35.570 Yeah, that's getting really close. That's like 00:15:35.570 --> 00:15:37.750 four weeks away. They should have him an opponent. 00:15:42.059 --> 00:15:46.039 Yeah, there's not a lot of good... good opposition 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:51.360 available. That's true. Because... Yeah, everybody 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:57.200 kind of fought at 168, didn't they? Yes. Or they're 00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:10.870 busy. Yeah. Jamal Charlo? Ugh. I... No. I mean, 00:16:10.909 --> 00:16:13.529 Lester beating up Jamal Charlo would be pretty 00:16:13.529 --> 00:16:20.870 funny. And I think Lester could take either of 00:16:20.870 --> 00:16:24.610 the Charlos right now. Yeah, I think you're right. 00:16:27.570 --> 00:16:30.190 But speaking of this card, have you seen Ryan 00:16:30.190 --> 00:16:33.710 Garcia in a gym at all? No, I've been seeing 00:16:33.710 --> 00:16:39.200 him working out at home. Yeah. I think Ryan might 00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:44.100 blow this one too. I know Barrios is shit. Don't 00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:48.419 get me wrong. But if Barrios can just keep his 00:16:48.419 --> 00:16:54.600 right hand at home. Like, Ryan Garcia is not 00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:59.019 taking this seriously. He's fucking hitting pads 00:16:59.019 --> 00:17:06.569 with Instagram girls. As far as I can tell. Maybe 00:17:06.569 --> 00:17:10.490 it's going to be like the Haney fight and it'll 00:17:10.490 --> 00:17:16.089 all be some... Like, oh, he was really taking 00:17:16.089 --> 00:17:18.430 it serious. He was just making it look like he 00:17:18.430 --> 00:17:23.190 wasn't. But I don't know, man. This feels a little 00:17:23.190 --> 00:17:28.490 different. I fucking hate Ryan Garcia. I hope 00:17:28.490 --> 00:17:31.269 Barrios knocks him out cold. I don't think it'll 00:17:31.269 --> 00:17:37.170 happen, but I can wish for it. I'm just hoping 00:17:37.170 --> 00:17:41.210 for a draw. That would also be fucking hilarious. 00:17:41.809 --> 00:17:46.609 Three belt defenses as draw. Yep. That would 00:17:46.609 --> 00:17:50.150 be too good. That would be really funny, but 00:17:50.150 --> 00:17:52.910 I also want Ryan Garcia to lose to the worst 00:17:52.910 --> 00:17:58.750 belt holder in modern history. You think he's 00:17:58.750 --> 00:18:01.809 the worst? No, I don't know. That was for exaggeration. 00:18:02.269 --> 00:18:04.309 I'm sure there's probably somebody who's worse. 00:18:05.710 --> 00:18:09.109 Maybe. I don't know. He might be. He might be 00:18:09.109 --> 00:18:11.589 the worst at what weight class is this? 147? 00:18:11.789 --> 00:18:15.990 Yeah. I think if I narrow it to 147, that statement 00:18:15.990 --> 00:18:20.869 is true. There's some people get those like really 00:18:20.869 --> 00:18:24.990 small titles that are kind of really ass. Barrios 00:18:24.990 --> 00:18:29.730 and Raleigh are... I think Raleigh's better than 00:18:29.730 --> 00:18:35.369 Barrios. I think so too. Rolly already beat Ryan, 00:18:35.609 --> 00:18:43.430 so we just need Barrios to do it. Then Devin 00:18:43.430 --> 00:18:49.410 Haney and Lewis Crocker are busy. Imagine. It 00:18:49.410 --> 00:18:52.349 won't happen, but imagine Barrios and Crocker 00:18:52.349 --> 00:18:58.269 win and fight to unify next. Oh. The storylines 00:18:58.269 --> 00:19:05.869 would be... Boxing is dead. Yeah. I don't think 00:19:05.869 --> 00:19:08.230 Haney will fuck it up, but I could see Ryan fucking 00:19:08.230 --> 00:19:22.130 it up. Hmm. That's all I had for the news. Yeah. 00:19:22.190 --> 00:19:26.930 Oh, well, breaking news, I guess. This will come 00:19:26.930 --> 00:19:31.960 out afterwards, but Taraji's off. Oh. Boo. Willie 00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:35.140 Baldo Garcia ended up in the hospital making 00:19:35.140 --> 00:19:40.200 weight. Or, sorry, I think that's not true. He 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.859 pulled out from illness is what the official 00:19:42.859 --> 00:19:47.720 line is. There is a really bad flu going around 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:51.839 in Tokyo. I could see him having caught the flu 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:54.619 while making weight and not being able to fight. 00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:57.460 But that's the fight I was most excited for tonight. 00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:02.190 Yeah. Like by far the one I was most excited 00:20:02.190 --> 00:20:10.410 for. I kind of don't even care now. Hmm. Keyshawn 00:20:10.410 --> 00:20:19.450 Davis is moving to 147 in the coming year. That 00:20:19.450 --> 00:20:22.869 would be a hilarious crash out fight. Keyshawn 00:20:22.869 --> 00:20:27.990 Davis and Ryan Garcia. Who implodes the worst. 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.480 Probably Keyshawn Davis, actually, would be my 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:43.039 guess. I'm trying to skim this article and see 00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:49.039 who Jake Paul's next opponent is supposed to 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:53.200 be. He called out Canelo from the hospital. And 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:59.059 he called out Francis Ngannou as well. Fucking 00:20:59.059 --> 00:21:08.920 crazy. Alright. What else do I have here? Kishan. 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:18.779 Jaron Ennis versus Virgil Ortiz has hit more 00:21:18.779 --> 00:21:21.240 roadblocks thanks to Virgil Ortiz's manager. 00:21:21.819 --> 00:21:30.180 So that's nice. Oh, I do have good news um but 00:21:30.180 --> 00:21:34.259 i don't remember the specifics so shigeoka is 00:21:34.259 --> 00:21:38.859 the one that was in the hospital i assumed forever 00:21:38.859 --> 00:21:45.839 but he's being sent home um this week i think 00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:49.259 he's being sent home and his brother who retired 00:21:49.259 --> 00:21:53.720 and opened his cafe his wife is having a baby 00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:58.880 soon oh that's nice Yeah, so, I mean, not boxing 00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:02.680 -adjacent news, but the Shigeokas seem to be 00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:07.500 moving forward with life despite the injury. 00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:14.960 If it wasn't so damn far away, I would go to 00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:18.259 that cafe, but that would be the most expensive 00:22:18.259 --> 00:22:22.660 cup of coffee ever. Yeah, not quite worth it. 00:22:23.099 --> 00:22:25.990 It's like when I stop... Went out of my way to 00:22:25.990 --> 00:22:30.589 go to Danny Garcia's barbershop. Like, I had 00:22:30.589 --> 00:22:32.390 the intention of getting a haircut, but the line 00:22:32.390 --> 00:22:36.049 was pretty ridiculous. Right. And the prices 00:22:36.049 --> 00:22:40.549 were also really stupid. I mean, I'm not surprised. 00:22:40.970 --> 00:22:48.470 Yeah. All right.

Bash on Prime pay 00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:33.740 -per -view. Ace Mission Studios. I can't believe 00:25:33.740 --> 00:25:36.180 they made this pay -per -view. I couldn't either. 00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:39.519 That's fucking ridiculous. Even though the price 00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:44.440 was... The price was $35. That's still too high. 00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:48.220 It is way too high. Anything more than free is 00:25:48.220 --> 00:25:51.200 too high for this card. It's not just that it's 00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:53.960 Badu Jack as the main, because I like Badu Jack, 00:25:54.099 --> 00:25:58.079 but the rest of the card was shit. Yes. There 00:25:58.079 --> 00:26:01.059 was absolutely no one else on it. Exactly. And 00:26:01.059 --> 00:26:04.500 they made you pay $35 for it? Yeah. Ridiculous. 00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:09.220 I wasn't too pleased either. Fucking ridiculous. 00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:15.789 And Badu Jack drops it. Norair McHaleon is now 00:26:15.789 --> 00:26:22.869 the WBC Cruiserweight champ. Yay. High strangeness 00:26:22.869 --> 00:26:27.309 going on in this one. This was a long time ago, 00:26:27.369 --> 00:26:30.450 Leo. You have to remind me. Sorry. The corners. 00:26:30.869 --> 00:26:33.190 They started fighting. They continued fighting 00:26:33.190 --> 00:26:37.430 at the end of round six or seven. And then the 00:26:37.430 --> 00:26:41.289 corners rushed into the ring. Right, and security 00:26:41.289 --> 00:26:45.410 rushed in and everything, and then they just 00:26:45.410 --> 00:26:50.930 continued? Like, I've seen... Yeah, I've seen 00:26:50.930 --> 00:26:54.869 people rush the ring and shit before, but, like, 00:26:54.950 --> 00:26:59.690 I haven't seen the fight just go on like that. 00:27:00.349 --> 00:27:04.230 Like, they just went to their corners and came 00:27:04.230 --> 00:27:08.470 out. Like, nothing happened. I don't think I've 00:27:08.470 --> 00:27:13.839 seen that before. It was super weird. I mean, 00:27:13.859 --> 00:27:20.059 I guess it's fine. Was there a point deduction 00:27:20.059 --> 00:27:24.980 in this one too, I think? Was there? No, maybe 00:27:24.980 --> 00:27:29.420 not. Sorry, it's like two weeks ago. A little 00:27:29.420 --> 00:27:37.309 bit more. My shit memory is shit. Mikaelian deducted 00:27:37.309 --> 00:27:39.789 one point in round seven for hitting behind the 00:27:39.789 --> 00:27:43.549 head. Okay, that's what I'm thinking of. And 00:27:43.549 --> 00:27:46.750 Badu Jack deducted one point for hitting after 00:27:46.750 --> 00:27:51.470 the referee called stop in round eight. Okay, 00:27:51.549 --> 00:27:55.430 so they canceled out. Yeah. It was just a dirty, 00:27:55.609 --> 00:27:58.069 shitty fight. Like, it was not fun to watch this 00:27:58.069 --> 00:28:03.829 one. No. No. So, if you missed it, you didn't 00:28:03.829 --> 00:28:08.579 miss it. It's just the meme factor of the rushing 00:28:08.579 --> 00:28:11.140 the ring, the point deductions. It's just, if 00:28:11.140 --> 00:28:14.900 you want to laugh, then you can get it for free. 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.180 Go for it, but don't pay for it. I can't believe 00:28:18.180 --> 00:28:24.519 they charged for it. Yeah, there's not a whole 00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:27.200 bunch to say about this one, I don't think. Like, 00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:30.640 Bado Jack's just getting old. I kind of wonder 00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.339 if he retires now. Kind of feel like he should. 00:28:33.539 --> 00:28:38.180 I would imagine he does. I mean, dude's, what 00:28:38.180 --> 00:28:49.660 is he, like, 40? 42? Yeah. Like, honestly, he 00:28:49.660 --> 00:28:52.920 did really well with his talent level, and I 00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:59.519 think now you go home to Sweden. Yep. Not much 00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:03.099 for him to do. Not much for Badu to do. Badu 00:29:03.099 --> 00:29:07.589 to do. Michaelian, on the other hand, I think 00:29:07.589 --> 00:29:11.789 Opataya called him out, and I think he mentioned 00:29:11.789 --> 00:29:16.769 Opataya as well. I mean, that would be... Unifications 00:29:16.769 --> 00:29:19.890 are always good. Yes. Always good in my book, 00:29:20.029 --> 00:29:24.890 but that's going to be pretty lopsided. Yeah. 00:29:26.849 --> 00:29:35.200 Like, has Opataya really fought any... Good people? 00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:37.819 I don't know how to put it. Like, most of the 00:29:37.819 --> 00:29:40.920 people he fights seem kind of shit. They kind 00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:46.259 of are. Like, who's his best win? Myrus Bredis? 00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:51.420 Yeah, Bredis. That's as good as it gets. I think 00:29:51.420 --> 00:29:54.160 Michaelian's just as good as Bredis, if not better. 00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:59.019 Bredis, when they fought, was like 40 years old. 00:30:00.500 --> 00:30:06.390 So... Yeah, I... I think this would be a step 00:30:06.390 --> 00:30:09.210 up for Opataya. I know he's had the belt forever, 00:30:09.430 --> 00:30:12.529 but I still think this would be a step up. That 00:30:12.529 --> 00:30:16.670 he shouldn't stumble on, but... He stumbled on 00:30:16.670 --> 00:30:20.029 his last one, like he was supposed to... If you 00:30:20.029 --> 00:30:23.049 only saw the knockout against... What was the 00:30:23.049 --> 00:30:29.150 dude's name? I don't remember. Skweo? No. King 00:30:29.150 --> 00:30:33.789 Kara. King Kara. Yeah. If you only saw the knockout, 00:30:33.809 --> 00:30:35.329 you would think it was just another dominant 00:30:35.329 --> 00:30:38.230 performance, but that shit took him to round 00:30:38.230 --> 00:30:43.109 eight to do. And Obataya got hit. Yeah, he got 00:30:43.109 --> 00:30:48.990 hit a lot. Yeah. So it really does beg the question, 00:30:49.109 --> 00:30:53.710 like, how good is Obataya really? Yeah, that's 00:30:53.710 --> 00:30:55.869 kind of what I was getting at. Like, I don't 00:30:55.869 --> 00:31:00.809 think we've seen Obataya challenged, so you don't 00:31:00.809 --> 00:31:04.009 know. I don't know if Mikaelian's the one who's 00:31:04.009 --> 00:31:06.230 really going to challenge him, but I think he's 00:31:06.230 --> 00:31:11.609 closer to it than fucking Squeo and whatever 00:31:11.609 --> 00:31:18.549 this guy was. Chinkara. I don't know. I want 00:31:18.549 --> 00:31:23.490 to see Obataya fight some live bodies soon. Mikaelian's 00:31:23.490 --> 00:31:26.109 as close to a live body as we got. Other than 00:31:26.109 --> 00:31:34.339 Zerto. Yeah. Who just called out Zerto? David 00:31:34.339 --> 00:31:38.119 Benavidez? Yeah. Honestly, I'd rather see Benavidez 00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:42.559 Zerto than Opataya Zerto. I don't really care 00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:46.240 that much about cruiserweight belts. I don't 00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:52.420 think anybody does. Yeah. But yeah, if Mikaelian 00:31:52.420 --> 00:31:54.680 and Opataya fought Dext, I think that's good. 00:31:55.720 --> 00:32:00.009 That's what they should do. I'll cheer for McKaylee 00:32:00.009 --> 00:32:08.369 and just for the memes. Oh, man. Moving on. Also 00:32:08.369 --> 00:32:10.990 on the 13th, Matchroom at the Stockton Arena 00:32:10.990 --> 00:32:15.569 in Stockton, California. Oh, shit. Chavon Clark 00:32:15.569 --> 00:32:19.430 got a nice stoppage over Anthony Holloway. Anthony 00:32:19.430 --> 00:32:22.430 Holloway was out of his element by round two. 00:32:23.609 --> 00:32:33.299 Yeah. Some UDs. Ernesto Mercado. KO6 over Antonio 00:32:33.299 --> 00:32:38.039 Moran. Mercado looked pretty damn good. Another 00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:41.160 player at 140. At least close. I would say he's 00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:46.119 at like the Hiraoka level -ish. Maybe not because 00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:47.940 Hiraoka is about a challenge for a title. So 00:32:47.940 --> 00:32:51.579 not quite there. But he's close. He's getting 00:32:51.579 --> 00:32:56.250 close. He's getting there. He's somebody to watch. 00:32:56.650 --> 00:33:00.170 He's not old, is he? No, Mercado is like 20. 00:33:00.410 --> 00:33:05.349 He's young. Super young. But he's someone to 00:33:05.349 --> 00:33:09.390 keep an eye on in 2026. I think so. He looked 00:33:09.390 --> 00:33:15.730 good. Princess Skye Nicholson had a fucking war. 00:33:16.829 --> 00:33:23.009 Had a nice fight with Julian Luna Avila. Interim 00:33:23.009 --> 00:33:26.960 title. I may have fallen asleep in this one. 00:33:30.140 --> 00:33:33.319 As we were talking about earlier, Joe Cordina 00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:36.559 gets the UD over Gabe Flores. I'm surprised he 00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:41.240 didn't stop him. He was in control from the midpoint 00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:47.400 onward. Yeah. Flores took a lot of punches. I 00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:51.440 think Cordina's not the hardest hitter. He's 00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:53.859 got that one highlight knockout, but he's not 00:33:53.859 --> 00:33:56.410 like... a power guy right that's the exception 00:33:56.410 --> 00:34:00.650 not the rule yeah i think i think flores was 00:34:00.650 --> 00:34:03.190 just tough i thought cordina looked really good 00:34:03.190 --> 00:34:07.009 i was excited about his win i like joe cordina 00:34:07.009 --> 00:34:11.570 so yep so that that win set him up for a title 00:34:11.570 --> 00:34:15.909 shot against abdullah mason so congrats uh gabe 00:34:15.909 --> 00:34:18.789 flores continues to be relegated to lower and 00:34:18.789 --> 00:34:23.159 lower levels I don't think Flores looked completely 00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:29.860 terrible. I just, he's not title level. He's 00:34:29.860 --> 00:34:33.159 a good step up guy. I think he'll do numbers 00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:37.980 in Stockton if they keep him there. Well, I'd 00:34:37.980 --> 00:34:40.219 like to watch him again. I'm not saying he needs 00:34:40.219 --> 00:34:45.860 to stop. I just, I don't think he's like, he's 00:34:45.860 --> 00:34:54.449 a minus. You think so? I think so. Diego Pacheco 00:34:54.449 --> 00:35:00.530 gets dropped en route to a UD over Kevin Lele 00:35:00.530 --> 00:35:05.710 Sajo. I think Sajo surprised a lot of people. 00:35:05.949 --> 00:35:11.590 It definitely surprised me. Yeah. I was not expecting 00:35:11.590 --> 00:35:13.710 him to make it rough and tumble on the inside. 00:35:14.670 --> 00:35:17.570 Did not expect him to score a knockdown. And 00:35:17.570 --> 00:35:20.489 I did not expect the cards to be as wide as they 00:35:20.489 --> 00:35:26.519 were. Let me see what they were. I thought the 00:35:26.519 --> 00:35:35.519 115 -112 was good. But the 117 -110 is Fantasyland. 00:35:35.659 --> 00:35:44.940 I don't know how they saw that one. Pacheco has 00:35:44.940 --> 00:35:50.400 holes. He got hit a lot. And he's not improving 00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:57.909 them. Yeah. He's with a new trainer, so I guess 00:35:57.909 --> 00:36:03.010 that's something. Yeah. Something to think about, 00:36:03.110 --> 00:36:08.650 but. Like, I don't know. I know they really, 00:36:08.710 --> 00:36:11.849 really want Pacheco to be really good, and I 00:36:11.849 --> 00:36:14.150 don't know if he's going to be really good, but 00:36:14.150 --> 00:36:17.809 I guess we'll see. He is exciting. I will always 00:36:17.809 --> 00:36:22.239 tune in for a Pacheco fight. Yeah, and he's on 00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:27.260 his way to fighting Shiraz for a title, so. Guess 00:36:27.260 --> 00:36:30.800 it worked. Guess it worked out. Sajo should get 00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:36.239 a nice few fights out of this. Yeah, I would 00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:39.920 watch Sajo again. Definitely. Like him versus 00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:44.360 like Mbili or Lester Martinez wouldn't be bad. 00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:48.179 Yeah. Where's Mbili from originally? Is he Cameroonian 00:36:48.179 --> 00:36:53.130 as well? Yes. The French Cameroonian face -off? 00:36:53.309 --> 00:36:55.570 I think that would be a really fun fight, actually. 00:36:58.590 --> 00:37:01.489 But Mbili has more important stuff to do right 00:37:01.489 --> 00:37:06.510 now, though. Unfortunately for Sajo. Yeah. These 00:37:06.510 --> 00:37:09.369 French motherfuckers coming out of nowhere, though. 00:37:10.550 --> 00:37:16.449 What the hell? Saras was the beginning. Somebody 00:37:16.449 --> 00:37:18.829 has to put a stop to this. The French Revolution. 00:37:22.860 --> 00:37:25.639 We got a lot more to go, so let's fucking keep 00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:29.519 it rolling. Okay. On Wednesday, December 17th, 00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:33.059 first No Limit at the TikTok Entertainment Center 00:37:33.059 --> 00:37:39.480 in Sydney, Australia. Sam Goodman sweeps Tyler 00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:43.599 Blizzard. Not too surprised, as much as I was 00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:47.539 pulling for Tyler. Did not see that going well 00:37:47.539 --> 00:37:54.280 for him. I miss these. Tim Zhu looked pretty 00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:57.340 fucking mid against Anthony Velasquez. He did 00:37:57.340 --> 00:38:02.860 win a pretty clean decision, but he didn't impress. 00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:08.679 For rebranding himself as the Phoenix, he didn't 00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:13.360 really impress as well as he should have. Did 00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:17.719 he have a jab this time? Yes, he did. So the 00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:21.619 Cuban's working a little bit. Yeah, it's his 00:38:21.619 --> 00:38:25.320 first fight with a new trainer, so I guess I'll 00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:30.320 withhold judgment. But I'm a little, I don't 00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:34.139 know, not feeling it. Unimpressed? Yeah. I really 00:38:34.139 --> 00:38:36.820 want Tim Zhu to make a comeback. I do too. Hopefully 00:38:36.820 --> 00:38:44.719 this is just growing pains. Taken at the Kokugikan. 00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:50.199 in tokyo yeah i was at this one of course all 00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:52.840 right so what's the scouting report on seigo 00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:58.760 yuri akui yeah he's uh he's kind of getting old 00:38:58.760 --> 00:39:02.539 but he's always fun to watch i was really excited 00:39:02.539 --> 00:39:06.559 that he got the knockout i i jumped out of my 00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:11.679 seat it was great like anytime you see him on 00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:15.139 a card tune in in time to see him he's always 00:39:15.139 --> 00:39:18.599 fun he either wins or he gets knocked the fuck 00:39:18.599 --> 00:39:23.219 out those are his two options yeah i'm trying 00:39:23.219 --> 00:39:27.760 to think of there's a i never mind there's somebody 00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:30.780 else that hat was given that i think it was on 00:39:30.780 --> 00:39:36.119 the mma side though ah yeah like he's 22 and 00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:39.860 three but all three knockouts are or sorry all 00:39:39.860 --> 00:39:44.289 three losses are knockouts so You're going to 00:39:44.289 --> 00:39:46.949 have to kill him to beat him. It's pretty true, 00:39:47.050 --> 00:39:53.570 though. It was fun. It wasn't a very long fight. 00:39:55.610 --> 00:39:59.190 Rene Santiago split decision over Kiyosuke Takami. 00:40:00.730 --> 00:40:05.530 This was a really good fight. I gave it to Takami, 00:40:05.650 --> 00:40:13.929 but I'm pretty biased. I would recommend this 00:40:13.929 --> 00:40:16.349 one. It was really back and forth. They were 00:40:16.349 --> 00:40:20.730 both... I also just fucking hate Santiago because 00:40:20.730 --> 00:40:24.989 he keeps coming and beating my fighters. Because 00:40:24.989 --> 00:40:31.369 he beat Iwata earlier in the year. Same thing, 00:40:31.510 --> 00:40:35.989 I think. Oh no, he was unanimous decision. Boo 00:40:35.989 --> 00:40:42.809 this man. Boo this man. Um... Anthony Ola Squaga 00:40:42.809 --> 00:40:48.550 stops Taku Kuwahara. Ola Squaga leaned into the 00:40:48.550 --> 00:40:51.590 princess and Christmas themes in the most hilarious 00:40:51.590 --> 00:40:54.429 way possible. I don't know if anybody else saw 00:40:54.429 --> 00:40:58.090 his walkout, but he walked out in a green robe 00:40:58.090 --> 00:41:03.190 with the white trim, like a Santa suit, to the 00:41:03.190 --> 00:41:10.380 Grinch song. Like, you're a mean one. mr mr grinch 00:41:10.380 --> 00:41:15.320 and then proceeded to knock kuwahara out fast 00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:20.539 like that was really one -sided i all the squaga 00:41:20.539 --> 00:41:24.280 looked great um he curtsied when they introduced 00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:31.760 him and uh when when he won and they they were 00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:33.900 taking pictures and stuff he had like a santa 00:41:33.900 --> 00:41:38.389 sack of stolen presents so cheesy I remember 00:41:38.389 --> 00:41:42.989 seeing that on socials. Yeah, yeah. So, super 00:41:42.989 --> 00:41:45.449 cheesy, but I loved everything about it. And 00:41:45.449 --> 00:41:48.190 he looked really good. Ola Squaga looked fucking 00:41:48.190 --> 00:41:52.010 unbeatable in that fight. I don't know that Kuwajara 00:41:52.010 --> 00:41:56.750 is the best possible competition, but Ola Squaga 00:41:56.750 --> 00:42:03.690 looked really good. This was a flyweight fight? 00:42:05.110 --> 00:42:11.849 Yeah. Kuohara had lost to Akui a couple fights 00:42:11.849 --> 00:42:19.750 ago. Olusquaga Akui would be fun, but Akui would 00:42:19.750 --> 00:42:26.449 die, I think. So it would be another knockout, 00:42:26.469 --> 00:42:34.110 would be my prediction. In the main, Seiya Tsutsumi. 00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:40.099 Split decision over Nonito Donair. I was so nervous 00:42:40.099 --> 00:42:43.679 the entire fight. Yeah. Donair looked pretty 00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:46.619 good, especially for being a 44 -year -old man. 00:42:47.059 --> 00:42:51.059 I told you that Donair would catch Tsutsumi. 00:42:51.059 --> 00:42:54.199 I knew it would happen. Tsutsumi's slow as fuck. 00:42:55.380 --> 00:42:59.159 And Donair's slower than he used to be, but his 00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:06.380 hands are still fast. Tsutsumi came out cautious, 00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:08.960 and I was like, you can't fight like this. This 00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:12.480 is not how you fight. And then Donair clipped 00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:16.940 him in early, like round two or three, and knocked 00:43:16.940 --> 00:43:22.900 him on his ass with a left hook. Like the... 00:43:22.900 --> 00:43:28.659 I think... Yeah, I think there was a knockdown. 00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:32.260 Or maybe he didn't touch the canvas. I can't 00:43:32.260 --> 00:43:35.280 remember. I don't remember a knockdown. Yeah, 00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:37.320 okay, he didn't touch the canvas, but he stumbled 00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:41.480 back and looked like he maybe touched the canvas. 00:43:42.179 --> 00:43:46.099 Anyways, old man Donair had one great fight left. 00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:51.179 Tsutsumi looked like Tsutsumi. Like, he is who 00:43:51.179 --> 00:43:56.260 I like. So, kind of shit defense. Toughed it 00:43:56.260 --> 00:44:01.860 out. Overworked Donair. Donair was looking tired. 00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:07.119 But, yeah, I was super nervous. And then they 00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:10.059 read the Donair card first, and I was like, fuck. 00:44:10.940 --> 00:44:16.360 Because it was a split decision. Super exciting. 00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:24.179 Robert Boyle scored it 116 -112 for Donair. Yeah, 00:44:24.179 --> 00:44:29.019 I think that's madness. Um, Tsutsumi also had 00:44:29.019 --> 00:44:31.980 the best walkout jacket I've ever seen. I ship 00:44:31.980 --> 00:44:36.300 pictures everywhere. It's a embroidered denim 00:44:36.300 --> 00:44:41.559 thing, uh, cut in the old style, the, uh, old 00:44:41.559 --> 00:44:46.300 Japanese style. And it's got like the, uh, tattoo 00:44:46.300 --> 00:44:50.099 style embroidery on the back. So Tsutsumi's renamed 00:44:50.099 --> 00:44:53.280 himself the Cyclone. So it's a Cyclone with a 00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:56.909 dragon in it. Super cool. Holy shit. It's super 00:44:56.909 --> 00:44:59.949 cool. That is intense. If you didn't see the 00:44:59.949 --> 00:45:02.190 pictures I shared, Leo, you need to Google it. 00:45:02.329 --> 00:45:09.429 Yeah, I'm going to look it up. His jacket is 00:45:09.429 --> 00:45:13.289 fucking amazing for the walkout. And the red 00:45:13.289 --> 00:45:16.690 leather jacket crew was there. I almost went 00:45:16.690 --> 00:45:18.530 up and said hello to them. I saw them buying 00:45:18.530 --> 00:45:23.849 beer, but I didn't. I was too nervous. Where 00:45:23.849 --> 00:45:28.349 can I get a jacket? Yeah, no, but serious. I 00:45:28.349 --> 00:45:30.670 bet you those things cost like $500, though. 00:45:31.210 --> 00:45:36.369 Probably. Yeah. Anyways, this fight was perfect 00:45:36.369 --> 00:45:41.449 for me. Like, Donair looked good, but my favorite 00:45:41.449 --> 00:45:45.610 won. So I didn't see an old man die. It was just 00:45:45.610 --> 00:45:48.469 a really good night. Worth traveling on a Wednesday. 00:45:51.590 --> 00:45:55.780 This one didn't have any... U .S. broadcaster, 00:45:55.920 --> 00:45:58.460 so it was next to impossible to find these fights. 00:45:59.340 --> 00:46:03.079 I only found the main event and it was not very 00:46:03.079 --> 00:46:08.380 good quality. That's really disappointing. It 00:46:08.380 --> 00:46:13.280 was a good card. It must have been broadcast 00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:16.000 somewhere because they had Jimmy Lennon Jr. there. 00:46:17.460 --> 00:46:21.079 Everything was in English. But everything was 00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:26.800 in English. They don't usually do that. I can't 00:46:26.800 --> 00:46:31.199 find his jacket. I'll send it to you. I may or 00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:36.019 may not have it saved on my phone. Let's keep 00:46:36.019 --> 00:46:41.039 rolling. We still have a few more to go. Motherfucking 00:46:41.039 --> 00:46:45.699 ProBox on Thursday, December 18th in Fort Lauderdale. 00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:53.079 As usual. ProBox blocked Japan. What? I have 00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:58.179 to VPN now. to watch pro box on youtube yeah 00:46:58.179 --> 00:47:00.960 i can't watch it at work anymore i need to be 00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:03.940 home with my vpn i am so fucking pissed off about 00:47:03.940 --> 00:47:08.980 it i wrote two karen comments like what the fuck 00:47:08.980 --> 00:47:13.980 guys it's blocked in the philippines now too 00:47:13.980 --> 00:47:16.219 because there's a bunch of pinoy guys were pissed 00:47:16.219 --> 00:47:19.980 off that's weird i don't know why they would 00:47:19.980 --> 00:47:24.300 do that i don't either It hasn't been picked 00:47:24.300 --> 00:47:26.480 up by a local broadcast as far as I can tell. 00:47:26.639 --> 00:47:29.139 Like it hasn't moved to Abima or something. Yeah. 00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:34.960 Let's see here. We had Kenyon Valle get the stoppage 00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:40.320 in one. Christina, is this Chessa? Chessa. Also 00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:45.460 stoppage in one. UD, Joshan James, majority decision. 00:47:46.320 --> 00:47:48.960 If I recall correctly, they both, they got a 00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:52.769 double knockdown. in this one oh yeah this was 00:47:52.769 --> 00:47:54.949 super fun i've never seen that live before yeah 00:47:54.949 --> 00:47:57.750 i've never seen that happen but it was pretty 00:47:57.750 --> 00:48:01.090 good the ref handled it kind of weird like he 00:48:01.090 --> 00:48:05.670 counted for martinez he he counted him to eight 00:48:05.670 --> 00:48:07.809 he and then he was you know he was like are you 00:48:07.809 --> 00:48:12.650 good and then he started counting again for uh 00:48:12.650 --> 00:48:16.610 for joshua oh so like joshua got like an extended 00:48:16.610 --> 00:48:21.019 count That is weird. You're supposed to count 00:48:21.019 --> 00:48:22.739 them both. You're supposed to simul -count, yeah. 00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:26.320 Count them both. I suspect that's not something 00:48:26.320 --> 00:48:29.360 that refs practice a whole bunch. Yeah, probably 00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:38.059 not. Marlon Harrington, big KO over Brian Palacco. 00:48:38.059 --> 00:48:44.219 Yeah, that was rough. This one I didn't see. 00:48:44.420 --> 00:48:47.769 Mike Juan Williams. versus George Rodriguez. 00:48:48.530 --> 00:48:51.989 It ended up getting stopped in the fourth for, 00:48:52.070 --> 00:48:55.190 I think, a cut. So it went to the cards, and 00:48:55.190 --> 00:49:02.769 it was a UD for Mike Juan. Hebert Sosa versus 00:49:02.769 --> 00:49:08.090 Elias Espadas was a UD for Hebert. And Ramon 00:49:08.090 --> 00:49:14.710 Cardenas KO5 over Eric Robles. Big KO. Big time. 00:49:15.980 --> 00:49:19.179 Like, possible KO of the year contender, maybe? 00:49:19.460 --> 00:49:21.139 Yeah, I would put it in the contender category 00:49:21.139 --> 00:49:23.960 for sure. Yeah, I don't know if it wins, but 00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:27.480 I think it's on the list. Absolutely. Late. I 00:49:27.480 --> 00:49:31.739 told you guys that Cardenas was good. Yeah. I 00:49:31.739 --> 00:49:36.840 mean, he went 8 with Inoue. That's not nothing. 00:49:38.900 --> 00:49:42.699 Yeah, and he has power. I am so fucking sick 00:49:42.699 --> 00:49:45.429 of the chinny bum memes. I know they do it just 00:49:45.429 --> 00:49:49.630 to piss me off, but... It works. It works. It 00:49:49.630 --> 00:49:52.429 works so well. I fucking hate it. It makes me 00:49:52.429 --> 00:49:56.389 so angry. I thought Cardenas looked really good. 00:49:56.550 --> 00:49:59.429 I know this guy isn't the best competition in 00:49:59.429 --> 00:50:03.690 the world, but... Yeah, he was in control the 00:50:03.690 --> 00:50:05.849 entire time. Like, there was nothing to worry 00:50:05.849 --> 00:50:09.469 about. Hopefully he gets himself back into a 00:50:09.469 --> 00:50:13.280 big fight. I think he deserves it. I think Cardenas 00:50:13.280 --> 00:50:20.960 has shown he's pretty good. Hold on. Where's 00:50:20.960 --> 00:50:32.219 he at? He is 12th on BoxRec. There's good names 00:50:32.219 --> 00:50:36.579 in there that are available. Marlon Topoles, 00:50:36.920 --> 00:50:41.400 MJ. Yeah, I would like to see him against any 00:50:41.400 --> 00:50:46.639 of the Inouye victims. Yeah, sweep up the leftovers, 00:50:47.019 --> 00:50:54.900 as they like to say. Where's he ranked in the 00:50:54.900 --> 00:51:02.179 actual belt, guys? Cardenas is number two for 00:51:02.179 --> 00:51:06.139 the WBA, just behind Junto. Junto got put first 00:51:06.139 --> 00:51:12.329 by everybody. Of course. He's number five by 00:51:12.329 --> 00:51:17.789 the WBC. And he's not listed on the other two. 00:51:19.849 --> 00:51:30.210 I think. But yeah, Cardenas versus honestly anyone 00:51:30.210 --> 00:51:35.989 I think would be fun. Topalas would be good. 00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:40.239 MJ? I don't think MJ wants to take another hard 00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:45.980 fight right now, though. God. Neary? Watching 00:51:45.980 --> 00:51:48.920 Cardenas knock out Neary would make me happy. 00:51:55.019 --> 00:52:02.579 Yeah, I don't see him listed in WBO. All right. 00:52:02.820 --> 00:52:09.719 Friday, December 19th. This is what you've been 00:52:09.719 --> 00:52:13.000 waiting for. Yeah, this is why everybody tuned 00:52:13.000 --> 00:52:17.619 in today. Oh, I'm going to skip a lot of them, 00:52:17.739 --> 00:52:20.699 but Anderson Silva knocked out Tyrone Woodley 00:52:20.699 --> 00:52:24.400 in two. Well, the coroner pulled the plug in 00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:29.579 two. I saw some pretty funny memes. Silva said 00:52:29.579 --> 00:52:32.599 he wants to be a cop. There's a bunch of, we 00:52:32.599 --> 00:52:36.539 might get Silva versus John Jones yet. That made 00:52:36.539 --> 00:52:43.400 me laugh. Atheist Griffin with a big knockout. 00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:49.039 That was a nice way to start the... Yeah. Start 00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:53.980 the card. Caroline Dubois defends her title. 00:52:54.559 --> 00:53:00.380 WBC lightweight. Whatever. It was pretty nothing 00:53:00.380 --> 00:53:04.900 opponent. Yeah, I'm surprised Dubois didn't get 00:53:04.900 --> 00:53:11.460 the knockout. Jocasta Valle with a close shave. 00:53:13.019 --> 00:53:22.079 Majority decision over Yadira Bustillos. Undisputed 00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:24.900 bantamweight champ, Sharnika Johnson gets the 00:53:24.900 --> 00:53:30.449 dub. Alicia Baumgartner, three -belt champ. She 00:53:30.449 --> 00:53:33.889 does not have WBC because she did 12 rounds by 00:53:33.889 --> 00:53:42.369 3 minutes. Which is dumb, but... Yeah, this fight 00:53:42.369 --> 00:53:45.750 sucked. Yeah, it wasn't very impressive. This 00:53:45.750 --> 00:53:49.650 is a bad co -main for anything, but, like... 00:53:49.650 --> 00:53:54.550 I don't want to shit on women's boxing, but this... 00:53:54.889 --> 00:53:58.769 Putting women's boxing as the co -main on Netflix 00:53:58.769 --> 00:54:02.849 is not how you get new fans. Especially not one 00:54:02.849 --> 00:54:06.909 -sided bullshit like this. It's gotta be like 00:54:06.909 --> 00:54:12.789 Serrano -Taylor. Yeah. And you can't... You can't 00:54:12.789 --> 00:54:15.869 bet that women's boxing is gonna be like that 00:54:15.869 --> 00:54:24.280 ever. Like... I don't know. I just... Also, Baumgartner 00:54:24.280 --> 00:54:28.599 versus some no -name Canadian, it's not a good 00:54:28.599 --> 00:54:37.380 co -mate. Especially to make it, whatever, 12 00:54:37.380 --> 00:54:41.300 minutes longer, 20 minutes longer than it usually 00:54:41.300 --> 00:54:50.039 is, not a good decision. You know what else was, 00:54:50.179 --> 00:54:53.230 well, was it a bad decision? for Jake Paul to 00:54:53.230 --> 00:54:58.010 get his ass knocked out in six by Anthony Joshua? 00:54:58.690 --> 00:55:01.510 I am disappointed in Joshua. I said it before. 00:55:01.590 --> 00:55:03.829 If it takes more than three, I'm disappointed. 00:55:04.670 --> 00:55:09.469 Yeah. Jake Paul was, like, was fighting really 00:55:09.469 --> 00:55:14.090 terribly, though. Yeah, but Joshua should be 00:55:14.090 --> 00:55:19.570 able to deal with that. I don't know. I just... 00:55:21.869 --> 00:55:26.550 Joshua looked like shit. I do kind of feel like 00:55:26.550 --> 00:55:29.489 he was trying not to hurt Jake Paul too badly. 00:55:31.230 --> 00:55:33.670 Even though he did end up breaking his jaw in 00:55:33.670 --> 00:55:37.250 two places. Yeah, it's an interesting way of 00:55:37.250 --> 00:55:41.050 trying to not hurt him. But, like, even if you 00:55:41.050 --> 00:55:42.989 watch that punch, it does not look like a 100 00:55:42.989 --> 00:55:49.869 % punch. Maybe. Maybe I'm overestimating Joshua, 00:55:50.230 --> 00:55:54.400 but... Also, the memes out of that are fucking 00:55:54.400 --> 00:55:57.300 awesome. The smile on Joshua's face right before 00:55:57.300 --> 00:56:02.360 he knocked his ass out. Yeah. I will give Jake 00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:07.119 Paul the slightest amount of credit that he got 00:56:07.119 --> 00:56:11.539 up with the broken jaw. He didn't just lay on 00:56:11.539 --> 00:56:18.699 the canvas and cry like I would. I don't know. 00:56:18.719 --> 00:56:21.820 I don't want to see any more of this. stuff i 00:56:21.820 --> 00:56:29.519 do think this does maybe put a bit of a damper 00:56:29.519 --> 00:56:32.960 on it in the future because jake paul really 00:56:32.960 --> 00:56:38.000 did get hurt bad can't be doing fighting like 00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:42.579 real fighters anymore yeah like maybe jake paul 00:56:42.579 --> 00:56:45.599 decides he can just take the punishment but it 00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:49.119 might discourage future mismatches like this 00:56:49.119 --> 00:56:55.480 even just from the um like business side because 00:56:55.480 --> 00:56:58.480 broken jaws will heal but if he did hit him somewhere 00:56:58.480 --> 00:57:06.320 else you know like brain damage or whatever so 00:57:06.320 --> 00:57:10.079 you think the jake paul train is coming to a 00:57:10.079 --> 00:57:14.380 stop i think people will be less interested now 00:57:14.380 --> 00:57:16.710 that they've seen him get hurt I think that's 00:57:16.710 --> 00:57:20.590 why a lot of people watched. And now that it's 00:57:20.590 --> 00:57:23.110 happened the second time, the shine won't be 00:57:23.110 --> 00:57:31.750 so good. Yeah. But I don't know. Maybe I'm overestimating 00:57:31.750 --> 00:57:38.429 the general public. But I think these fights 00:57:38.429 --> 00:57:42.929 are stupid and dangerous. It went about as well 00:57:42.929 --> 00:57:49.199 as it could have for... For Jake. I couldn't 00:57:49.199 --> 00:57:51.320 have expected anything different. I expected 00:57:51.320 --> 00:57:57.900 this to happen sooner, like you. Yeah. Jake Paul 00:57:57.900 --> 00:58:01.420 looks scared, which is understandable, and just 00:58:01.420 --> 00:58:05.219 kind of tried to run away, which is understandable. 00:58:05.500 --> 00:58:12.000 But, like, who wants to see that? Like, there 00:58:12.000 --> 00:58:15.019 was... a small group of people that thought Jake 00:58:15.019 --> 00:58:18.920 Paul would actually fight. But now they know 00:58:18.920 --> 00:58:24.000 he won't. So... I don't get the allure anymore 00:58:24.000 --> 00:58:31.579 now that Jake Paul's been hurt. Anthony Joshua 00:58:31.579 --> 00:58:36.920 immediately called out Tyson Fury. Sure. I mean, 00:58:36.920 --> 00:58:40.260 I still want to see that fight. Yeah, it's several 00:58:40.260 --> 00:58:46.650 years too late, but still. And Jake Paul, as 00:58:46.650 --> 00:58:50.849 we talked about, he called out Canelo and Francis 00:58:50.849 --> 00:58:58.869 Ngannou. Fucking stupid. Yeah. But he also said 00:58:58.869 --> 00:59:01.230 he was thinking of just staying at Cruiserweight 00:59:01.230 --> 00:59:12.320 and climbing the ranks there. He could try. If 00:59:12.320 --> 00:59:16.360 Jake Paul transitioned into being a prospect, 00:59:16.699 --> 00:59:23.079 he'd use his name to get bigger names than he 00:59:23.079 --> 00:59:28.099 probably deserves right away, but I guess I could 00:59:28.099 --> 00:59:30.119 give him respect if he does that, but he doesn't 00:59:30.119 --> 00:59:39.179 do shit. He's not a good boxer. I can't name 00:59:39.179 --> 00:59:41.820 you 10 cruiserweights, but I guarantee there's 00:59:41.820 --> 00:59:46.219 10 cruiserweights to beat Jake Paul. Fucking 00:59:46.219 --> 00:59:52.039 Badoo Jack puts a hurt on Jake Paul. Yeah. And 00:59:52.039 --> 00:59:55.820 I don't know, after losing that fight, he's probably 00:59:55.820 --> 01:00:00.980 down to number 8 or something. Maybe not. Cruiserweights, 01:00:01.059 --> 01:00:09.519 really. It's pretty barren. But still. There 01:00:09.519 --> 01:00:12.019 has to be 10 professionals that are better than 01:00:12.019 --> 01:00:20.019 this guy. Jake Paul is now ranked number 15th 01:00:20.019 --> 01:00:23.980 by the WBA, according to Boxing Scene. He was 01:00:23.980 --> 01:00:25.480 ranked that before the fight. That's fucking 01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:31.360 crazy. That's fucking crazy. Why did... I hate 01:00:31.360 --> 01:00:34.699 boxing. Yeah. They did that before the fight. 01:00:34.719 --> 01:00:37.599 It was pretty stupid. Did they? I hate boxing. 01:00:38.159 --> 01:00:40.300 Chris Billum Smith beats the piss out of Jake 01:00:40.300 --> 01:00:46.360 Paul. They could make that one. CBS deserves 01:00:46.360 --> 01:00:53.860 a light touch. And a big payout. Yeah. I don't 01:00:53.860 --> 01:00:56.420 know if he deserves the big payout, but he took 01:00:56.420 --> 01:00:58.440 an ass kicking like a champ. He deserves the 01:00:58.440 --> 01:01:02.219 light touch. Anyways, I think that's enough about 01:01:02.219 --> 01:01:06.480 that. Yeah. Moving on. Saturday, December 20th. 01:01:07.210 --> 01:01:12.150 Really quickly, the WBC Grand Prix is over. The 01:01:12.150 --> 01:01:15.750 middleweight winner, Dylan Biggs. Super lightweight, 01:01:16.090 --> 01:01:19.289 Carlos Utrilla. Featherweight, Brandon Mejia. 01:01:19.489 --> 01:01:24.610 And heavyweight, Kevin Ramirez. Congratulations. 01:01:26.889 --> 01:01:31.670 And last thing in the recaps, Salida Promotions. 01:01:31.809 --> 01:01:35.289 Tony Harrison knocks out Brian Chavez in four. 01:01:36.269 --> 01:01:41.489 Look pretty good doing so. Nice. I don't think 01:01:41.489 --> 01:01:46.389 I saw this one. He called out Errol Spence. Nice. 01:01:47.469 --> 01:01:51.710 Do you think Spence comes back in the ring? That's 01:01:51.710 --> 01:01:58.030 a good question. I don't know. I don't think 01:01:58.030 --> 01:02:00.510 so. It's been a long time. It's been a really 01:02:00.510 --> 01:02:03.050 long time. If he was going to come back, I would 01:02:03.050 --> 01:02:07.300 expect that he would have already. Yeah. I don't 01:02:07.300 --> 01:02:14.619 know. I don't think we see Spence again. But 01:02:14.619 --> 01:02:17.139 that's it for the recaps. That's a few weeks 01:02:17.139 --> 01:02:24.920 to catch up on. So, upcoming shit. Wednesday, 01:02:25.079 --> 01:02:30.980 December 31st. Shisei Promotions at the Ota City 01:02:30.980 --> 01:02:35.519 Gym. Are you going to this one? Uh, no. I actually 01:02:35.519 --> 01:02:38.960 made a friend, and I'm going out for New Year's 01:02:38.960 --> 01:02:42.480 this year. Oh, fun. Yeah, I had thought about 01:02:42.480 --> 01:02:46.480 this if I was by myself, but I don't know who 01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:51.320 Bordas Goidi is. I'm sure I butchered that really 01:02:51.320 --> 01:02:53.739 bad. I don't know who he's fighting, and I thought 01:02:53.739 --> 01:02:56.639 going out with humans would be better. Yeah, 01:02:56.760 --> 01:02:58.940 that's definitely a better use of your time. 01:02:59.500 --> 01:03:03.699 I have no idea who any of these people are. Other 01:03:03.699 --> 01:03:07.019 than the main event. And that I only know half 01:03:07.019 --> 01:03:11.880 of it. Kazuto Ioka. Versus Michael Ordoskoide. 01:03:12.639 --> 01:03:15.699 I love Ioka. And I'm going to watch a replay 01:03:15.699 --> 01:03:20.420 of this. But yeah. I don't think I recognize 01:03:20.420 --> 01:03:24.099 anyone else either. Which is crazy that I don't 01:03:24.099 --> 01:03:30.260 recognize them. That's the end of year box festival. 01:03:31.150 --> 01:03:34.909 that the Japanese like to do. Yeah, well, and 01:03:34.909 --> 01:03:37.409 like New Year's Eve is just big in combat sports 01:03:37.409 --> 01:03:41.750 in general. The Ryzen event, I have a friend 01:03:41.750 --> 01:03:45.530 going to it. It starts at noon and goes to midnight. 01:03:46.050 --> 01:03:52.369 Wow. Yeah. So maybe the doors open at noon, but 01:03:52.369 --> 01:03:57.670 it's like 12 hours of Ryzen out at the Saitama 01:03:57.670 --> 01:04:01.219 Super Arena. That's the really big combat event. 01:04:01.579 --> 01:04:05.099 This one's much smaller, but I usually go because 01:04:05.099 --> 01:04:13.340 I like Ioka. So, kicking off the new year, Saturday, 01:04:13.440 --> 01:04:21.179 January 3rd, in Puerto Rico, Amanda Serrano versus 01:04:21.179 --> 01:04:28.840 Reyna Tellez. I'm glad. Amanda gets to fight 01:04:28.840 --> 01:04:30.880 in Puerto Rico. I think that's going to be cool. 01:04:33.840 --> 01:04:37.420 I don't know anybody on this card. Yeah, I don't 01:04:37.420 --> 01:04:43.139 either. I was just going to say. And it's not 01:04:43.139 --> 01:04:49.719 all women, but it's pretty women heavy. Oh, Holly 01:04:49.719 --> 01:04:57.739 Holm was on this versus Stephanie Hahn. Holly 01:04:57.739 --> 01:05:01.420 Holmes is a much better boxer than I thought 01:05:01.420 --> 01:05:06.239 she would be at 44. I don't know if that's a 01:05:06.239 --> 01:05:08.579 rude thing to say, but she impressed me the last 01:05:08.579 --> 01:05:12.719 time she boxed. She was a... I think she was 01:05:12.719 --> 01:05:19.780 a WBC champ? Yeah, but just... She was in MMA 01:05:19.780 --> 01:05:26.840 for so long. And she's 44. I don't know. I just... 01:05:27.099 --> 01:05:30.599 I was impressed with how well she came back to 01:05:30.599 --> 01:05:43.780 boxing. Because she was gone for 12 years. That's 01:05:43.780 --> 01:05:53.820 it. Amanda Serrano. Holly Holm. Yeah. Ebony Bridges. 01:05:53.820 --> 01:06:03.059 I know that name. I think because she does OnlyFans, 01:06:03.119 --> 01:06:08.000 I think that's how she got notoriety. No, she's 01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:12.079 dating, what's his name? Kell Brook? Kell Brook. 01:06:13.739 --> 01:06:17.559 Okay. Right? I think. Just a second. Let me double 01:06:17.559 --> 01:06:21.280 check I have the right name. Oh, shit. Her opponent 01:06:21.280 --> 01:06:27.360 has the same last name as me. Yeah, yeah, she's 01:06:27.360 --> 01:06:31.159 dating Kell Brook. So they've been in the social 01:06:31.159 --> 01:06:35.300 boxing news lately. She's also the one with the 01:06:35.300 --> 01:06:41.500 enhanced buzzer. That's why I thought she did. 01:06:42.500 --> 01:06:46.920 She probably does. It wouldn't surprise me, but 01:06:46.920 --> 01:06:49.699 I don't know about that. I just know that she's 01:06:49.699 --> 01:06:53.550 dating Kell Brook now. Because it was... scandalous, 01:06:53.550 --> 01:06:56.750 quote -unquote, except he'd been divorced and 01:06:56.750 --> 01:07:02.769 just, like, the public didn't know. I see. I 01:07:02.769 --> 01:07:05.489 see what that's... They thought he was still 01:07:05.489 --> 01:07:07.789 married to his wife, but he'd been divorced for, 01:07:07.849 --> 01:07:14.369 like, two years. Kept that quiet. I guess people 01:07:14.369 --> 01:07:18.309 don't need to know. But, like, you really don't 01:07:18.309 --> 01:07:26.289 need to know. That's it, though. That's all we 01:07:26.289 --> 01:07:31.150 got coming up. It's a light week to start. But 01:07:31.150 --> 01:07:34.530 January is fucking busy. Towards the end of the 01:07:34.530 --> 01:07:38.789 month, it's gonna get busy. I think the 31st 01:07:38.789 --> 01:07:42.889 has like four cards on it. Really? That's awesome. 01:07:43.889 --> 01:07:46.590 I never looked that far ahead, to be honest. 01:07:49.909 --> 01:07:53.150 So, let me do this. What if your best thinking 01:07:53.150 --> 01:07:55.809 day wasn't a lucky accident? What if you could 01:07:55.809 --> 01:07:58.949 access that clarity, that sharp focus, that feeling 01:07:58.949 --> 01:08:01.369 of being completely on whenever you need it? 01:08:01.829 --> 01:08:04.510 We live in a world of distraction where mental 01:08:04.510 --> 01:08:07.590 fog can settle in before noon. You need a natural 01:08:07.590 --> 01:08:10.210 edge, a simple way to clear the noise and elevate 01:08:10.210 --> 01:08:13.449 your mind.

The plants in the garden. 01:09:14.380 --> 01:09:16.619 They all depend on one tiny little hero, the 01:09:16.619 --> 01:09:19.659 honeybee. But bees are struggling, and the health 01:09:19.659 --> 01:09:22.359 of our planet is at stake, not to mention a third 01:09:22.359 --> 01:09:25.060 of what's on our dinner plate.

My big Christmas present 01:10:52.340 --> 01:10:56.220 this year was the fancy bourbon I like. And then 01:10:56.220 --> 01:10:59.300 one of my friends donated money to the Red Pandas 01:10:59.300 --> 01:11:03.560 at the Calgary Zoo in my name. And then I get 01:11:03.560 --> 01:11:07.500 a little panda plushie. That's nice. Yeah, and 01:11:07.500 --> 01:11:12.439 some paperwork on how they use the money. Red 01:11:12.439 --> 01:11:17.319 Pandas are my favorite. When I go back to Canada, 01:11:17.399 --> 01:11:20.039 she lives just outside Calgary. When I go back 01:11:20.039 --> 01:11:22.819 to Canada, we'll go to the zoo. It's pretty much 01:11:22.819 --> 01:11:29.760 we have to every time I visit. Let's see. As 01:11:29.760 --> 01:11:33.739 we come up to the new year, people like to act 01:11:33.739 --> 01:11:41.220 a fool. So, man, don't drink and drive. Don't 01:11:41.220 --> 01:11:44.380 start your year off with a fucking DUI or a car 01:11:44.380 --> 01:11:50.989 accident. Even worse. Yeah, make a plan. Have 01:11:50.989 --> 01:11:55.189 a plan. Wherever you're going, stay there. I 01:11:55.189 --> 01:12:00.409 mean, most cities have some sort of free bus 01:12:00.409 --> 01:12:04.470 system on New Year's Eve. I find people don't 01:12:04.470 --> 01:12:07.789 know about them, but even the small city I lived 01:12:07.789 --> 01:12:09.989 in, Saskatoon, New Year's Eve, the buses are 01:12:09.989 --> 01:12:13.800 just free. You just get on the bus. And even 01:12:13.800 --> 01:12:16.960 if it's not free, like an Uber is much cheaper 01:12:16.960 --> 01:12:20.279 than increased car insurance and all that other 01:12:20.279 --> 01:12:24.859 stuff. And if you live somewhere cold, because 01:12:24.859 --> 01:12:28.439 my brother's best friend almost died walking 01:12:28.439 --> 01:12:32.319 home too drunk in the winter. So if you live 01:12:32.319 --> 01:12:34.420 somewhere cold, make sure all your friends actually 01:12:34.420 --> 01:12:37.500 get home because they found him in a snowbank 01:12:37.500 --> 01:12:42.279 almost dead. Jeez. Yeah. I know not everybody 01:12:42.279 --> 01:12:49.340 lives where it's that cold, but... Yeah, have 01:12:49.340 --> 01:12:53.979 your Arrive Alive plan for New Year's. Just drink 01:12:53.979 --> 01:12:55.840 at home. Have your friends come to your house, 01:12:55.840 --> 01:12:57.359 then you don't gotta fucking worry about it. 01:12:58.039 --> 01:13:02.579 Let them sleep on your floor. Yeah. Alright. 01:13:03.359 --> 01:13:06.239 That's the last episode of Boxing Before Dark. 01:13:06.420 --> 01:13:10.859 We'll see you in 2026. Happy New Year! Thank 01:13:10.859 --> 01:13:10.859 you.
