What's up, guys? We are comrades now after the...

00:00:42.259 --> 00:00:46.399
This is a Chinese podcast. Yeah. A couple of

00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:48.039
fateful incidents happened in our country. The

00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:49.700
murder of Alex Preddy. They are now comrades

00:00:49.700 --> 00:00:51.979
at this point. I'm trying to increase my social

00:00:51.979 --> 00:00:56.500
credit score. why is selby moved to section 8

00:00:56.500 --> 00:01:03.880
housing also hurtful oh man this one probably

00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.379
not gonna land for you guys but extending the

00:01:07.379 --> 00:01:09.840
hand of friendship to our fellows over at the

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.840
ultimate effing casuals where we talk mma this

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:20.340
weekend usc 325 um there are some decent fights

00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:24.849
on here uh one Just a few examples. Let's see.

00:01:24.989 --> 00:01:29.890
Quillen Salkild is fighting Rong Zhu. He had

00:01:29.890 --> 00:01:35.650
one of the knockouts of the year for 2025. Let's

00:01:35.650 --> 00:01:39.189
see. Who else? Dan Hooker versus Benoit Santany.

00:01:39.950 --> 00:01:47.530
BSD is a fucking machine. And in the main...

00:01:47.870 --> 00:01:50.290
Alexander Volkanovski, the featherweight champ,

00:01:50.409 --> 00:01:53.890
versus Diego Lopez. This is a rematch. The first

00:01:53.890 --> 00:01:59.629
fight was pretty lopsided. We talk about it over

00:01:59.629 --> 00:02:02.189
on Ultimate FN Casuals. We're pretty confused

00:02:02.189 --> 00:02:06.650
why this is happening. But hey, you gotta make

00:02:06.650 --> 00:02:14.090
do with what you got. So, enough MMA talk. First

00:02:14.090 --> 00:02:16.669
thing I wanted to talk about in the news. The

00:02:16.669 --> 00:02:20.969
Ali Revival Act clears committee. This does not

00:02:20.969 --> 00:02:24.349
mean that it has passed. For those who are unfamiliar

00:02:24.349 --> 00:02:29.849
with American legislation, first, bills or amendments

00:02:29.849 --> 00:02:32.849
start in committee. Once they pass committee,

00:02:33.129 --> 00:02:38.210
they move to the Speaker of the House who decides

00:02:38.210 --> 00:02:43.409
whether or not it will be heard for a vote. Assuming

00:02:43.409 --> 00:02:46.889
it will be because Dana White friends with Trump

00:02:46.889 --> 00:02:50.530
and Mike Johnson does whatever Trump tells them

00:02:50.530 --> 00:02:54.090
to do. This is going to be heard for a vote.

00:02:54.509 --> 00:02:56.949
Right now, the numbers are such that it will

00:02:56.949 --> 00:03:00.870
pass the House. But after that, it has to go

00:03:00.870 --> 00:03:04.629
to committee in the Senate and repeat the process

00:03:04.629 --> 00:03:08.569
in the Senate, where I'm not sure it has enough

00:03:08.569 --> 00:03:13.599
votes to pass. So there are some. There are some

00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.719
barriers that this has to clear before it becomes

00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:22.340
law. So, you know, don't get your fucking skirts

00:03:22.340 --> 00:03:27.280
in a bunch yet. But some of the changes to the

00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:32.680
Muhammad Ali Boxing Revival Act are thus. The

00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:36.800
fighter minimum pay has increased from $150 a

00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:41.500
round to $200 a round. The minimum insurance

00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:45.680
coverage increases from $25 ,000 to $50 ,000.

00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.659
All fighter contracts have a six -year sunset

00:03:50.659 --> 00:03:58.099
clause. Secondary titles are eliminated. There

00:03:58.099 --> 00:04:02.879
is a mandate of one champion per division. It

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:06.000
does allow for interim fights if the champion

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.219
is injured. Or whatever. Something is not preventing

00:04:10.219 --> 00:04:14.099
them from competing. And this one's a little

00:04:14.099 --> 00:04:19.439
wonky. A random drug testing for all fights.

00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:25.439
Both fighters in a title fight must be tested.

00:04:25.540 --> 00:04:30.240
And a randomized half of all fighters on a card

00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:35.019
must be tested. So one fighter in each fight

00:04:35.019 --> 00:04:37.899
will be tested. You don't know which one. And

00:04:37.899 --> 00:04:41.899
this will all be to the world anti -doping agency

00:04:41.899 --> 00:04:48.579
standard. It's quite a bit. Yeah. It's a lot.

00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:55.680
Josh, what do you got? I like their kind of...

00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.160
I get it. I get there's a lot in here. Like,

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.740
a lot of the modifications ended up being positive.

00:05:04.899 --> 00:05:08.029
Because if you... have read a lot of, you've

00:05:08.029 --> 00:05:09.829
read all the documentation, but all these things

00:05:09.829 --> 00:05:12.290
are added in committee rather than being a part

00:05:12.290 --> 00:05:18.449
of the act as it was brought up. And I don't

00:05:18.449 --> 00:05:21.889
mind the changes, but the broad strokes basically

00:05:21.889 --> 00:05:29.310
like getting rid of those barriers to being a

00:05:29.310 --> 00:05:34.769
promoter and a manager of a fighter. Yes. They're

00:05:34.769 --> 00:05:39.040
still troubling. The way I'm looking at it is

00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:43.759
all these changes basically fix the bottom potential

00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:48.240
of the sport, but they're going to end up basically

00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:56.079
leveling it to that bottom. It's not about what's

00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:57.839
in front of you on the text, it's how it's going

00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.420
to be used by the powers that are bringing it

00:06:00.420 --> 00:06:05.100
into existence. Because a lot of these changes

00:06:05.100 --> 00:06:08.779
aren't bad, it's just... You already know this

00:06:08.779 --> 00:06:13.079
is mostly a PR play by a group that you're going

00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.980
to see fighters pay slashed to these minimums

00:06:16.980 --> 00:06:22.800
real quick instead of what they're worth because

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:27.480
that is and has always been the UFC model of

00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:32.139
doing business. That's most employers in the

00:06:32.139 --> 00:06:34.480
US. It's like, how little can I get away with

00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:37.560
paying you? Yeah, like that's why we have labor

00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:39.899
standards. And I get the minimum. The minimum

00:06:39.899 --> 00:06:44.259
isn't like rare. Rarely is even at club shows

00:06:44.259 --> 00:06:46.500
like it's based on the tickets you sell. So like

00:06:46.500 --> 00:06:53.000
those minimums are rarely ever a factor. But

00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.379
it's that it's just that relationship between

00:06:56.379 --> 00:06:59.860
promoter and manager that the act was created

00:06:59.860 --> 00:07:05.529
to prevent. That concerns me when it comes to

00:07:05.529 --> 00:07:12.189
this act. I agree 100%. I feel like there's a

00:07:12.189 --> 00:07:14.329
good amount of things in here that are positive.

00:07:14.569 --> 00:07:19.370
I think that getting rid of a lot of those belts

00:07:19.370 --> 00:07:26.029
will help streamline at least the simplicity

00:07:26.029 --> 00:07:29.709
of knowing who's champion and how people become

00:07:29.709 --> 00:07:34.649
champion. I understand that in the case of like

00:07:34.649 --> 00:07:39.750
the WBA like super duper and world and regular

00:07:39.750 --> 00:07:44.310
belts but in terms of like how this would affect

00:07:44.310 --> 00:07:48.360
say like the NABF Yeah, like the smaller titles.

00:07:48.379 --> 00:07:49.259
I was going to bring that up. Yeah, like the

00:07:49.259 --> 00:07:52.439
thing is that like those, like would those qualify

00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:56.000
as the one belt under the one belt for division?

00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.779
Are we still keeping regional belts, which are

00:07:58.779 --> 00:08:02.660
really important for fighters on lesser promotions

00:08:02.660 --> 00:08:09.240
to claw up a ranking and force fights? You know,

00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:12.000
to me, this feels... Sorry, I should be finished.

00:08:12.100 --> 00:08:16.180
Like the major... like the example here is how

00:08:16.180 --> 00:08:22.019
the opbf basically lets uh smaller fighters from

00:08:22.019 --> 00:08:27.779
non -money places get fights in the wbc and get

00:08:27.779 --> 00:08:32.460
ranked and taking that away like the nabf is

00:08:32.460 --> 00:08:35.320
also that stepping stone like when you see guys

00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.960
you've never heard of in wba title fights usually

00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:43.570
they took the nabf and then kept moving ebu is

00:08:43.570 --> 00:08:46.309
another good example that's similar to the opbf

00:08:46.309 --> 00:08:52.490
gets like people from um the czech republic who

00:08:52.490 --> 00:08:56.769
are something montenegro they like they get they

00:08:56.769 --> 00:09:00.429
work their way into a title fight through that

00:09:00.429 --> 00:09:04.750
route so how that was something similar that

00:09:04.750 --> 00:09:06.830
i talked to when i was talking with shinada about

00:09:06.830 --> 00:09:10.960
it is how do these Like, regional organizations,

00:09:11.299 --> 00:09:16.120
how are they affected by this? Yeah. One thing

00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.440
this feels like is, I feel like this act is kind

00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.899
of, feels like money laundering in a sense. Like,

00:09:21.899 --> 00:09:25.899
it feels like they added a lot of things in here

00:09:25.899 --> 00:09:29.559
after the fact, from when it was first conceived,

00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.580
just to get it passed through just so that they

00:09:32.580 --> 00:09:35.299
could benefit the Zufa, the people who wanted

00:09:35.299 --> 00:09:37.879
to push this through as Zufa. People at Zufa.

00:09:40.149 --> 00:09:42.570
So this adds on to what Josh was saying, that

00:09:42.570 --> 00:09:44.409
they added a lot of good things to help the bottom

00:09:44.409 --> 00:09:48.029
potential of the sport. But because of that,

00:09:48.070 --> 00:09:50.850
it's going to level it out. Because it has also

00:09:50.850 --> 00:09:53.730
a whole bunch of other shit that, like the UBO,

00:09:53.850 --> 00:09:58.250
the UBO shit, that's going to, that's included

00:09:58.250 --> 00:09:59.509
in there too. It's not like they're trying to

00:09:59.509 --> 00:10:01.309
do this for the betterment of the sport. They're

00:10:01.309 --> 00:10:02.470
just going to do it for the betterment of themselves.

00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:11.879
Yeah, listening to like as it was in committee

00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:16.700
being talked about, hearing like the different

00:10:16.700 --> 00:10:20.960
representatives speak on it, there were some

00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:25.320
very clear cases of some of them being on the

00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:30.860
side of UBOs. And two, one of which I'm very

00:10:30.860 --> 00:10:35.000
proud to mention, two that spoke up on behalf

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.779
of the fighters. were Ilhan Omar out of Minnesota

00:10:38.779 --> 00:10:44.500
and Adelita Grijalva out of Arizona. So those

00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:48.460
are two people who fucking stepped in to speak

00:10:48.460 --> 00:10:53.779
up about protecting fighters and not UBOs or

00:10:53.779 --> 00:10:58.200
whatever supposed free market competition that

00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.779
this is supposed to create, which it doesn't.

00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:09.360
A lot of the costs of these things like drug

00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.940
testing and a lot of these minimums are going

00:11:13.940 --> 00:11:19.919
to be borne by club shows, club fighters, and

00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.860
club promoters. They're not going to be able

00:11:22.860 --> 00:11:29.019
to do WADA testing for half of the fucking card.

00:11:30.009 --> 00:11:33.029
I'm sure they can't afford it for just the main

00:11:33.029 --> 00:11:38.190
event or else they probably would. The one thing

00:11:38.190 --> 00:11:43.889
that I was hoping to hear was that maybe the

00:11:43.889 --> 00:11:48.149
state athletic commissions could step in on that

00:11:48.149 --> 00:11:56.990
part. But we have, we've yet to see. There was

00:11:56.990 --> 00:12:00.730
the executive officer of the California State

00:12:00.730 --> 00:12:03.289
Athletic Commission, and he was speaking in favor

00:12:03.289 --> 00:12:08.230
of a lot of these changes. And in the short term,

00:12:08.269 --> 00:12:15.269
or on their face, they sound great. Increasing

00:12:15.269 --> 00:12:18.009
fighter minimum pay, increasing insurance coverage,

00:12:18.230 --> 00:12:23.289
that's fantastic. But when you think about how

00:12:23.289 --> 00:12:26.879
that's going to be applied, not we're not talking

00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:32.480
about match room or pbc or or top rank even even

00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.200
though they're in a little bit of a weird state

00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:39.299
right now the those who are going to be bearing

00:12:39.299 --> 00:12:42.259
the brunt of this are at the bottom of the food

00:12:42.259 --> 00:12:46.720
chain and it's going to eliminate like grassroots

00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:51.940
competition just and also kind of Add on to the

00:12:51.940 --> 00:12:56.159
railroads fighters into instead of signing, instead

00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.080
of listening to, let's say, a manager that they

00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.360
like has their best interest in mind. It railroads

00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:04.700
that much like Don King in the 80s railroads

00:13:04.700 --> 00:13:08.500
them into the is basically me or you never get

00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:13.559
a career type of promotion slash management.

00:13:15.179 --> 00:13:19.259
Yeah, if you don't sign with Zufa or you're not

00:13:19.259 --> 00:13:23.559
lucky enough to be picked by Matchroom or PBC,

00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:28.419
then you don't compete. And your career ends

00:13:28.419 --> 00:13:37.960
there. Yeah, this is, it's tough to see. Man.

00:13:41.100 --> 00:13:45.080
I don't know. Anybody else have closing thoughts?

00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:50.220
Because I'm at a loss. This act is a fucking

00:13:50.220 --> 00:13:54.879
travesty. Well, the thing is that the fact that

00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:57.779
fighters are already struggling. People don't

00:13:57.779 --> 00:13:59.759
want to join the sport at the very bottom of

00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:03.600
it. I think it's also going to discourage people

00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.340
from joining the pros also. Coming out of the

00:14:07.340 --> 00:14:12.110
amateur system. If they even go into. if they

00:14:12.110 --> 00:14:16.610
even decide to join at all at that point it might

00:14:16.610 --> 00:14:19.669
discourage people from becoming promoters or

00:14:19.669 --> 00:14:21.769
becoming managers or just being involved in the

00:14:21.769 --> 00:14:24.250
sport in general at the club level because it's

00:14:24.250 --> 00:14:28.730
too much fucking money you know and in turn you

00:14:28.730 --> 00:14:31.490
have less you have less of an opportunity as

00:14:31.490 --> 00:14:37.629
an amateur to be built up in that way you know

00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:41.840
So as much as the amateur scene is getting killed

00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:44.179
right now, it's going to be killing the bottom

00:14:44.179 --> 00:14:48.320
tier of the scene, which is going to end up trickling

00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:51.320
up or spreading to the top because then you have

00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:54.279
even less talent going up. That's why there's

00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.299
no American heavyweights. It's because no guy

00:14:58.299 --> 00:15:03.379
that's an American heavyweight size wants to

00:15:03.379 --> 00:15:05.740
join the amateurs. I'd rather try for the NFL

00:15:05.740 --> 00:15:09.679
than get my fucking face pummeled. Or even if

00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:12.799
I'm tall as shit and not built for the NFL, I

00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.919
can go play basketball in Europe and make a very

00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:20.419
healthy living versus at no cost to my life or

00:15:20.419 --> 00:15:25.960
limb, might I add. Exactly. As much as the amateur

00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:28.399
scene is fucked, I mean, this fucks the pro scene

00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:36.700
as much. Yeah. At this point, the only thing

00:15:36.700 --> 00:15:39.639
I can really suggest, is if you're an American

00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:43.700
listener, call your representative, tell them

00:15:43.700 --> 00:15:46.100
to oppose this bill. Call your senator, tell

00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:49.519
them to oppose this bill. That's the best we

00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:53.700
can do right now. Unfortunately... Heap pirating

00:15:53.700 --> 00:16:00.600
UFC events. Dana White hates that shit. But,

00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:04.539
yeah, we had to start it off with a more difficult

00:16:04.539 --> 00:16:09.769
note. Before we move to... Gervonta Davis has

00:16:09.769 --> 00:16:14.029
been officially stripped by the WBA. He is on

00:16:14.029 --> 00:16:18.289
the run from the federal marshals. Nobody knows

00:16:18.289 --> 00:16:23.570
where he is. As of right now, no one knows where

00:16:23.570 --> 00:16:29.110
he is. This shit is beyond funny. How do you

00:16:29.110 --> 00:16:34.370
lose him? Well, he's so tiny. I get that, but

00:16:34.370 --> 00:16:36.990
how do you lose him, bro? He's on the lam, yeah.

00:16:37.070 --> 00:16:40.590
I mean, he's a fucking... Fucking star. How do

00:16:40.590 --> 00:16:43.129
you lose that type of... You know? Yeah, like,

00:16:43.309 --> 00:16:45.730
come on, bro. Like, especially, like, he definitely...

00:16:45.730 --> 00:16:48.230
Like, you've seen his cars, too. Like, there

00:16:48.230 --> 00:16:51.610
is no way... They aren't just gonna, like...

00:16:51.610 --> 00:16:53.710
They haven't... They just haven't looked for

00:16:53.710 --> 00:16:56.210
him. He's not driving away in a Nissan Altima.

00:16:56.690 --> 00:16:59.169
Alright? Yeah, like... He's in a fucking Rolls

00:16:59.169 --> 00:17:01.110
or something. He's in a fucking Rolls... He's

00:17:01.110 --> 00:17:06.230
in a Rolls Royce with... The license place T4NK.

00:17:06.450 --> 00:17:13.029
Like, come on. Like, be so fucking for real with

00:17:13.029 --> 00:17:17.049
me right now, bro. Nah, he's gotta be somewhere.

00:17:17.150 --> 00:17:20.569
He's on fucking... He might not even be in the

00:17:20.569 --> 00:17:23.769
country, actually. Might be gone. Might be in

00:17:23.769 --> 00:17:26.670
Dagestan. That was kind of a joke I made with

00:17:26.670 --> 00:17:30.430
Shanada was, like, if you check his Google search

00:17:30.430 --> 00:17:34.769
history... It's non -extradition countries. But

00:17:34.769 --> 00:17:38.170
at the same time, you have to think, does Gervonta

00:17:38.170 --> 00:17:40.710
Davis, can he, does he know about, like, does

00:17:40.710 --> 00:17:43.430
that cross his mind? You know, he's not very

00:17:43.430 --> 00:17:47.809
book smart. He could be hanging out with Andrew

00:17:47.809 --> 00:17:51.329
Tate and his brother in Romania. Those boys are

00:17:51.329 --> 00:17:55.950
back. They're in the US. They were so bad that

00:17:55.950 --> 00:18:01.279
even Romania extradited them. Tank is going to

00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:04.819
become red -pilled, I guess. Right -wing grift

00:18:04.819 --> 00:18:07.980
tank, bro. Yeah, right -wing grift tank, yeah.

00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:13.960
All the way in fucking Romania. Well, let's keep

00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:17.160
rolling with some bad news here. Jai Opataya

00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:24.500
signs with Zufa. Now, something I had... Shanada

00:18:24.500 --> 00:18:31.140
mentioned that in her... boxing news diet, she

00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:37.099
came across some rumors that Obataya gets paid

00:18:37.099 --> 00:18:43.259
fucking dog shit by Tasman Fighters, the promotional

00:18:43.259 --> 00:18:47.160
group that he's with in Australia. He gets paid

00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:52.400
absolute dog shit. So for Zufa to be a step in

00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:56.960
a better direction for him tells you a lot about

00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:04.460
where he was. in his boxing career. Well, he's

00:19:04.460 --> 00:19:08.740
still a fucking champion. Yeah. IBF. So Leo and

00:19:08.740 --> 00:19:09.859
I were talking about this earlier. We were discussing

00:19:09.859 --> 00:19:14.740
it. The fact that Zufa is signed a champion in

00:19:14.740 --> 00:19:17.259
and of itself is a little concerning, but the

00:19:17.259 --> 00:19:19.619
fact that they're not stripping him and he's

00:19:19.619 --> 00:19:22.579
still going to be fighting for other belts shows

00:19:22.579 --> 00:19:27.059
that Zufa in and of itself doesn't have any teeth

00:19:27.059 --> 00:19:30.099
in the game right now. Where they could run their

00:19:30.099 --> 00:19:32.319
own fucking promotional model, their own belt,

00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:35.980
their own organization. Because they're still

00:19:35.980 --> 00:19:39.660
fighting under another roof. IBF rules for Obata.

00:19:39.700 --> 00:19:42.220
Yeah, IBF. Exactly. And they still want to fight

00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:46.579
Zerto for his titles or McClellan. How the fuck

00:19:46.579 --> 00:19:48.680
do you say his name? McClellan. McClellan? For

00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.740
his title. Yeah, McClellan. Yeah, they want to

00:19:51.740 --> 00:19:54.200
do a unification with McClellan. You know, they're

00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:58.519
still fighting under the old rules. So, I mean,

00:19:58.619 --> 00:20:03.680
it just shows you that Zilpha is not... He doesn't

00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:05.640
have his teeth right now. Cheese sticks. It's

00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:11.700
disobeying its own foundation. My thinking here

00:20:11.700 --> 00:20:17.779
is they're going to get Opitaya, who currently

00:20:17.779 --> 00:20:21.160
has the IBF, as you mentioned. They're going

00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:27.569
to try to get him to be undisputed. So that they

00:20:27.569 --> 00:20:31.450
can then crown him with the Zufa title and say,

00:20:31.609 --> 00:20:36.430
look, the undisputed champion is the Zufa champion.

00:20:37.470 --> 00:20:41.829
You know what I mean? That's my thinking of what

00:20:41.829 --> 00:20:45.130
they're trying to do here. That's only going

00:20:45.130 --> 00:20:47.569
to happen if, let's say, Benavidez beats Zerto.

00:20:48.109 --> 00:20:50.930
If they fight Benavidez, what if Benavidez wins?

00:20:51.329 --> 00:20:54.690
Then what, do you have a fucking bomb? You know?

00:20:56.599 --> 00:20:59.819
Yeah. He can fucking lose a fight. Random ass

00:20:59.819 --> 00:21:05.200
Australian dude on your promotion. Excellent.

00:21:05.299 --> 00:21:09.039
Yeah. Who the fuck is Jairo Pataya? Oh, he's

00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:13.119
some Tasmanian guy. He lost to some of the best

00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:17.359
guys in boxing. Also, he's not the champ. Well,

00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:21.119
he's the champion of our organization. And that's

00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:26.609
just fine. Yeah. You know, I might just start.

00:21:27.230 --> 00:21:29.690
Obviously, if it's against David Benavidez, I'm

00:21:29.690 --> 00:21:31.910
always going to root for David. But, like, I

00:21:31.910 --> 00:21:36.069
really want Obitai to lose. Because, damn, that

00:21:36.069 --> 00:21:38.990
would be a big fucking little finger to Zufa.

00:21:41.670 --> 00:21:47.589
There's, I think you guys might know him as Slick.

00:21:47.589 --> 00:21:51.829
He goes by Slick Terror Moana Jab in Discord.

00:21:52.450 --> 00:21:58.000
Jacob. Australian Jacob. Yeah. He mentioned that

00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:05.200
this, as bad as it is for us to see this happen

00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:12.039
as fans, this is a good step for Opitaya, just

00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:16.400
him personally. He's getting the money while

00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:19.799
he can, as much money as he can while he can,

00:22:19.940 --> 00:22:24.960
given the nature of the sport. His time is not

00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:29.700
long. You know what I mean? So he's getting the

00:22:29.700 --> 00:22:32.259
money while he can. He's getting in on the ground

00:22:32.259 --> 00:22:35.640
floor so he can get deals like this where he

00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:39.160
can continue to fight under the old system and

00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:44.619
unify with other fighters. And that's great for

00:22:44.619 --> 00:22:48.119
him. It's good for him. And that's great right

00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:53.369
now. But we know, like in the future, Fighters

00:22:53.369 --> 00:22:57.089
are not going to get that kind of leeway. So,

00:22:57.250 --> 00:23:03.289
I can, as much as I really, really want to shit

00:23:03.289 --> 00:23:10.230
on Zufa, just, I guess, Opitaya, if this is how

00:23:10.230 --> 00:23:14.910
you want to get paid, man, then my best wishes.

00:23:16.750 --> 00:23:21.940
50 Gs, baby. Yep. Get that performance bonus.

00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:25.700
Man, do you realize that the 50 G's is the same

00:23:25.700 --> 00:23:29.359
as the Ice signing bonus? That's fucking crazy.

00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.180
The signing bonus for Ice is the same as the

00:23:33.180 --> 00:23:37.059
fucking Zufa bonus. Comrade, this has gotten

00:23:37.059 --> 00:23:41.940
a fucking disgrace. It's a disgrace, bro. Like,

00:23:41.940 --> 00:23:46.119
good for Jai for trying to get that bag, but

00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:49.950
like... Like, I just thought about it. ICE officers

00:23:49.950 --> 00:23:53.250
are getting paid better than you. Yeah, if I

00:23:53.250 --> 00:23:58.430
see Jai Upataya at a fucking protest, trying

00:23:58.430 --> 00:24:00.509
to arrest my ICE, I'm calling Murder's Isle over.

00:24:01.529 --> 00:24:07.210
Well, you gotta stage the ultimate battle. ICE

00:24:07.210 --> 00:24:12.250
Upataya versus Zerto. It's fucking perfect. ICE

00:24:12.250 --> 00:24:18.559
Upataya. ICE Upataya. Oh my god. Ah. Someone

00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:25.740
who was able to resist the Sauron's ring. Matchroom

00:24:25.740 --> 00:24:31.799
beats Zufa's offer to Bam Rodriguez. Word is

00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:40.460
Bam is still shopping, as is his right. But Zufa

00:24:40.460 --> 00:24:43.700
did make him an offer. Matchroom beat that offer.

00:24:44.339 --> 00:24:49.079
Bam is still checking around. If for all intents

00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:51.420
and purposes, Bam is going back to Matchroom.

00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:55.680
It's a very smart decision. Thank fucking fuck.

00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:00.839
Very smart decision because, again, who the fuck

00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:05.299
is Azufa in his weight class, you know? I mean,

00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:07.759
signing with Matchroom is also smart because

00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:10.440
same thing with other promoters besides, I would

00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:15.799
say, TopRank, you know, PBC, Gary Jonas' ProBox.

00:25:17.929 --> 00:25:19.450
Queensbury. And then we've got a lot of guys

00:25:19.450 --> 00:25:25.289
down there. TopRank has some guys, but I mean,

00:25:25.390 --> 00:25:27.529
it's fucking, dude, they're on Tubi. Do you want

00:25:27.529 --> 00:25:29.849
to be on fucking Tubi? Is Eddie Hearn saving

00:25:29.849 --> 00:25:33.089
boxing in 2026? Is that what's happening right

00:25:33.089 --> 00:25:35.869
now? He is, bro. It's over. It's so over for

00:25:35.869 --> 00:25:39.849
this fucking sport. Jesus fucking fuck. Well,

00:25:39.869 --> 00:25:42.450
he started it. He started the end. Now he's on

00:25:42.450 --> 00:25:46.210
his hero comeback story. Yeah, he did get The

00:25:46.210 --> 00:25:53.890
turkey machine rolling. But yeah, Zufa tried

00:25:53.890 --> 00:25:58.210
to get Bam. That would mean that Bam would have

00:25:58.210 --> 00:26:02.490
to move up to 118 since Zufa doesn't recognize

00:26:02.490 --> 00:26:08.930
the non -original weight classes, which is interesting

00:26:08.930 --> 00:26:12.450
that they signed Opitaya because cruiserweight

00:26:12.450 --> 00:26:17.100
is not one of the original weight classes. But

00:26:17.100 --> 00:26:20.799
I don't know. Maybe he'll be a light heavy or

00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:25.779
heavy. I think they're going to keep him at cruiserweight

00:26:25.779 --> 00:26:31.180
because cruiserweight pretty much sucks. There's

00:26:31.180 --> 00:26:34.940
only two other fighters for him to be undisputed.

00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:42.420
And like to be, I don't know if it's to be fair,

00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:47.019
but Kellerman saying on the Zufa. like broadcast

00:26:47.019 --> 00:26:53.160
just full -throating opitaya as the head of cruiserweight

00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:57.839
so it that's like their premier guy right now

00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:02.440
so yeah which is not saying much it's not saying

00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:06.200
a lot yeah they got they got so far they got

00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:12.640
giant rio fuck clap clap clap good bro bro they

00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:15.019
got they got two guys who fight and what they

00:27:15.019 --> 00:27:17.980
consider fake weight classes. Exactly. Yeah.

00:27:19.940 --> 00:27:26.359
Fucking whores. Oh, shit. Speaking of whores,

00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.059
Wilder is going to be fighting Derek Chisora

00:27:30.059 --> 00:27:35.500
in April. Instead of Usyk, that was previously

00:27:35.500 --> 00:27:38.799
rumored, it'll now be Wilder versus Chisora.

00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:44.699
It's looking like the Sauerland Brothers. of

00:27:44.699 --> 00:27:47.779
Wasserman Boxing will be the promoters of this.

00:27:48.940 --> 00:27:53.440
And it's going to be in the UK. Shinada thinks

00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:56.599
Chizora beats Wilder. What do you guys think?

00:27:57.859 --> 00:27:59.279
I'm just trying to agree with you. He's less

00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:01.920
washed. Yeah, probably, actually. You're right.

00:28:03.460 --> 00:28:10.960
I mean, Wilder, he basically lost his eye to

00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:14.069
the tiger. The bronze bomber died. And now we

00:28:14.069 --> 00:28:18.930
have Deontay Wilder. Yeah, we got Ayahuasca.

00:28:19.690 --> 00:28:24.829
Ayahuasca Wilder. We got Shane Mosley before

00:28:24.829 --> 00:28:33.130
he got divorced from his wife. Ayahuasca. But

00:28:33.130 --> 00:28:39.869
yeah, it's looking like Wilder Chisora. I did

00:28:39.869 --> 00:28:45.619
see a fucking rumor. Also, that Andy Ruiz would

00:28:45.619 --> 00:28:49.640
be fighting Usyk instead. Like, at the same time

00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:53.660
leading up to their eventual bout. But then I

00:28:53.660 --> 00:28:58.940
saw Andy Ruiz versus Tyson Fury. And I'm not

00:28:58.940 --> 00:29:01.900
sure what to make of that. Yeah, that just means

00:29:01.900 --> 00:29:05.200
they're making Usyk Fury 3. Jeez, no. Please,

00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:10.640
no. I mean, I would have loved to see Usyk versus...

00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:16.200
fucking Andy Ruiz in, what, 2019 and after. But

00:29:16.200 --> 00:29:22.099
now it's like, so what? He ain't gonna win. You

00:29:22.099 --> 00:29:26.819
know? Same thing with Ruiz and Fury. After the

00:29:26.819 --> 00:29:29.640
fight with Joshua, that would have been a banger.

00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:33.599
You know? That would have been gangbusters, but...

00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:39.440
Fuck it. They know how to lose. They know how

00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:47.680
to lose this shit. There is no chance that you're

00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:49.779
going to catch me cheering for a goddamn Brit

00:29:49.779 --> 00:29:52.579
while there's a red -blooded American in the

00:29:52.579 --> 00:29:56.140
ring. So I will be pulling for my man Deontay.

00:29:56.380 --> 00:30:02.619
But the odds, I think, are favoring Chisora.

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:08.500
When was the last time Deontay won a fight that

00:30:08.500 --> 00:30:12.019
wasn't fucking Richard Torres? Yeah, that mattered.

00:30:14.820 --> 00:30:19.579
That's a fantastic question. Hellenius. Does

00:30:19.579 --> 00:30:25.359
that matter? Does that count? No, no. Doesn't.

00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:30.519
Last one for that was Fury Fight, Fury Fight,

00:30:30.859 --> 00:30:38.720
King Kong. That might be it. Yeah, but generally,

00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:41.259
when was the last fight that he won that mattered?

00:30:41.500 --> 00:30:45.079
I don't know. Even Andy Ruiz fucking... at least

00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:48.579
went to a draw with Jarrell Miller, which is

00:30:48.579 --> 00:30:51.779
not even that... You know? Derek Chisora, in

00:30:51.779 --> 00:30:59.119
his last fight, at least won against, I think,

00:30:59.140 --> 00:31:04.940
top 20? The way somebody put it in Discord was,

00:31:05.240 --> 00:31:10.660
anyone who's anyone at heavyweight has beaten

00:31:10.660 --> 00:31:15.230
Chisora. And... If you want to set up a fight

00:31:15.230 --> 00:31:18.930
with Usyk, beating Chizora is a good way to make

00:31:18.930 --> 00:31:26.210
it. Maybe two years ago. Maybe two, maybe ten,

00:31:26.250 --> 00:31:35.990
dude. Yeah, ten. Shit. Been a while. Oh, shit.

00:31:36.369 --> 00:31:40.950
Virgil Ortiz is suing Goldenboy Promotions for

00:31:40.950 --> 00:31:45.019
breach of contract. And he's trying to end his

00:31:45.019 --> 00:31:49.779
contract with Golden Boy Promotions. Dang. Fuck.

00:31:51.380 --> 00:31:54.680
Yeah. I don't want to have Josh continue, by

00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:57.720
the way. No, I was just going to say, SMH, he's

00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:02.900
finding another way to duck. No. That's not what

00:32:02.900 --> 00:32:06.480
I meant by continue. That's not what we meant.

00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:13.599
Oh, I know. I mean, honestly. Shaking my head.

00:32:13.660 --> 00:32:18.400
He's just trying to duck. And now we're. If he

00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:20.220
breaks away from Golden Boy, that fight's likelier

00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:22.920
than ever. It is more like than ever. It's very

00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:25.920
exciting. Because Oscar's incentivized to keep

00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:28.980
him around longer without fighting boots. Because

00:32:28.980 --> 00:32:32.579
that's a tough fight. Yeah. Yeah. That's a very

00:32:32.579 --> 00:32:34.660
tough fight. Very, very much a 50 -50 fight.

00:32:34.740 --> 00:32:37.180
But that's a pretty high chance that your fighter

00:32:37.180 --> 00:32:41.420
can lose. And you'll lose. You'll lose any star

00:32:41.420 --> 00:32:44.519
power that you would have had with the Mexican

00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:48.839
community. I mean, if you look at it, Oscar only

00:32:48.839 --> 00:32:51.920
has one guy at this point that is going to stay

00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:53.460
with him, and that's Cerdo, but he's going to

00:32:53.460 --> 00:32:56.140
lose soon. Cerdo is going to lose to Benavidez.

00:32:56.640 --> 00:33:03.339
Exactly. I mean, I'm glad that Virgil is trying

00:33:03.339 --> 00:33:05.859
to get out, but I feel like at the same time,

00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:09.059
it's also kind of... There might be a chance

00:33:09.059 --> 00:33:10.640
that he might just be doing this as a negotiation

00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:13.799
tactic with his own promoter, if that makes any

00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:17.440
sense. Going to court, that's a serious step

00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:21.339
versus, like, I don't know, going to another

00:33:21.339 --> 00:33:23.000
promoter and saying, like, this is what they're

00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:26.980
offering. You fucking suck. Why don't you fix

00:33:26.980 --> 00:33:32.000
our relationship? Well, the way it sounded like

00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:34.559
with Robert, because I saw an interview with

00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:38.319
Robert, Robert Garcia. And he didn't speak very

00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:41.940
much in detail about it, but it didn't sound

00:33:41.940 --> 00:33:48.319
like it was... Not like Oscar did some crazy

00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:52.640
backdoor shit, but more like he's just not working

00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.940
out for us. We need something better. You know?

00:33:56.619 --> 00:33:59.599
From what it sounds like, from what I've read

00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:04.900
and all the rumors and everything, the rift is...

00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:10.039
that Virgil's manager, Rick Morigian, I think

00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:13.039
that's how his name is pronounced, is trying

00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:17.099
to negotiate with Matchroom to make the boots

00:34:17.099 --> 00:34:22.440
fight, whereas Oscar is trying to finagle it

00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:29.199
to make it something else. Spence, for some fucking

00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:35.079
reason. I'll excuse a fight with... If you were

00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:37.599
to fight Fandora next, which, as we know now,

00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:42.480
is not happening. Yeah, fight a champion. It's

00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:47.340
understandable. Yeah. But Fandora's taken up.

00:34:47.739 --> 00:34:52.300
Xayah's taken up. And Baru and... They're all

00:34:52.300 --> 00:34:54.900
taken up. Xayah's getting packed up by Baru.

00:34:55.019 --> 00:34:58.019
What do you mean? We'll talk about that right

00:34:58.019 --> 00:35:02.739
now. We'll get there in a moment. He's getting

00:35:02.739 --> 00:35:09.340
slimed. Anything more on the news? That's all

00:35:09.340 --> 00:35:13.860
we got on this one. Virgil, please do not fucking

00:35:13.860 --> 00:35:17.500
go to Zufa. If you do, I will not support your

00:35:17.500 --> 00:35:22.079
ass. I will actively hit against you. And I have

00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:25.179
been your strongest soldier. Along with Isaac.

00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:29.139
Isaac's gonna be alone in that. You think he'll

00:35:29.139 --> 00:35:33.619
stand by if Virgil goes to Zufa? Or Isaac can't

00:35:33.619 --> 00:35:40.460
stand. He'll be sitting. He'll be sitting. But

00:35:40.460 --> 00:35:44.039
yes, he will sit by Virgil. Isaac, you better

00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:46.360
fight back on your pod. You better say some shit

00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:52.420
back. No one listened to that shit. Shit, we're

00:35:52.420 --> 00:35:58.960
in a civil war right now. This is the... Jesus.

00:35:59.059 --> 00:36:05.650
Hey, Isaac, you gotta get him back. No. Virgil,

00:36:05.670 --> 00:36:07.730
you better not go to Zufa. If you're going to

00:36:07.730 --> 00:36:11.269
go to someone, go to PBC or Matchroom. I'll get

00:36:11.269 --> 00:36:15.070
a soundbite next time we record and I'll play

00:36:15.070 --> 00:36:20.750
it back. And to our recaps, we don't have a lot.

00:36:24.590 --> 00:36:31.949
Friday, January 16th. Woof. No limit boxing at

00:36:31.949 --> 00:36:35.090
the Brisbane Entertainment Center. Not a whole

00:36:35.090 --> 00:36:41.130
lot going on here. Liam Wilson gets a stoppage

00:36:41.130 --> 00:36:45.690
in four over Rodex Piala. Who is Rodex? What

00:36:45.690 --> 00:36:48.750
kind of name is Rodex? Those are excellent questions.

00:36:49.909 --> 00:36:58.269
Go to No Limits YouTube channel. Roadhead? That's

00:36:58.269 --> 00:37:02.690
all I thought. Nikita Zoo. No contest with Michael

00:37:02.690 --> 00:37:10.119
Zarafa. There was a cut. I will not say there

00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:15.119
wasn't a cut, because there certainly was. Judging

00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:21.599
by the cut man himself showing the swab, it was

00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:27.159
not a bad cut. It was manageable. The cut man

00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:30.820
clearly seemed capable of taking care of it.

00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:35.719
Zarafa told the ref multiple times that he could

00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:40.539
not see. After in the post -fight interview,

00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:47.239
Zarafa said he wanted to continue. And he doesn't

00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:52.480
know why it was stopped. So there's a very clear

00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:55.980
disconnect there. Zarafa was fucking losing.

00:37:57.500 --> 00:38:02.420
And it looks like he took a way out. This is

00:38:02.420 --> 00:38:07.880
a quick moment to plug Boxing Before Dark on

00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:10.159
this same channel, wherever you're listening.

00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:16.159
The most recent episode includes Jacob. He's

00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:19.699
Australian. He's a boxer himself. So he can give

00:38:19.699 --> 00:38:24.099
you a really good breakdown of this situation.

00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:31.800
It was fucking weird, to say the least. Moving

00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:38.480
on. Goldenboy on DAZN. There were other fights

00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:41.139
on this card, very few of which I cared about.

00:38:41.719 --> 00:38:46.179
Scrappy Ramirez gets squeaks by. Majority decision.

00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:53.699
Congrats, I guess. This was like a Goldenboy

00:38:53.699 --> 00:39:01.639
prospect dog and pony show. It wasn't great.

00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:08.960
Ruslan Abdullayev stops Eduardo Abreu in five.

00:39:09.500 --> 00:39:12.780
So congrats to you. He did look actually, he

00:39:12.780 --> 00:39:14.840
actually looked pretty good. And he's only in

00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:21.539
this, that was his fourth pro fight. So. And

00:39:21.539 --> 00:39:26.300
Raul Correal, he takes late replacement Jordan

00:39:26.300 --> 00:39:33.679
Panthen. And that goes to a UD. Jordan, for being

00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:37.739
a late replacement, he was actually pretty damn

00:39:37.739 --> 00:39:42.920
competitive. He didn't come to lay down. He definitely

00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:47.519
tried to make the best of the opportunity that

00:39:47.519 --> 00:39:54.739
he had. So congrats on not getting made into

00:39:54.739 --> 00:40:01.469
a highlight reel. And, yeah, being tough. He

00:40:01.469 --> 00:40:07.110
gave it his all. And on an otherwise not really

00:40:07.110 --> 00:40:12.190
promoted well card. Yeah. I think there wasn't

00:40:12.190 --> 00:40:15.190
a weigh -in, right? It wasn't like a televised

00:40:15.190 --> 00:40:19.250
weigh -in. No. Not that I recall. I think they

00:40:19.250 --> 00:40:24.070
gave Panthen, like, leeway on his weight because

00:40:24.070 --> 00:40:27.659
he was fighting down the bill. At a higher weight

00:40:27.659 --> 00:40:32.659
class. And so they gave him... It was a catch

00:40:32.659 --> 00:40:37.480
weight, pretty much. I gotta respect Panther

00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:41.159
for stepping up. Saving a card. And he put up

00:40:41.159 --> 00:40:44.780
a damn good fight. Like we said, he made the

00:40:44.780 --> 00:40:48.559
most of an opportunity. I gotta give him all

00:40:48.559 --> 00:40:54.360
my flowers for that. He certainly lasted longer

00:40:54.360 --> 00:40:57.170
than I would have. In a 10 -round fight with

00:40:57.170 --> 00:41:08.190
Kuriel. Anything more for the recaps? No. Nope.

00:41:08.250 --> 00:41:10.650
All right. Nothing more. A little bit of notes

00:41:10.650 --> 00:41:14.449

but i'm here to tell you it doesn't have to be

00:41:48.280 --> 00:41:50.780
this way it's time to say bye to flakes with

00:41:50.780 --> 00:41:53.860
flakes Flakes isn't a scented wash you get from

00:41:53.860 --> 00:41:55.880
the grocery store that just masks the problem.

00:41:56.300 --> 00:41:59.039
It's a powerful, medically formulated treatment

00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:01.820
designed to get to the root of the toughest dandruff.

00:42:02.420 --> 00:42:05.219
Flakes works fast to control the flaking, calm

00:42:05.219 --> 00:42:07.800
the itching, and soothe the redness that's on

00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:11.039
your scalp. And here's another pro tip. Flakes

00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:13.079
will also help with that stubborn beard gruff

00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:16.079
if you have that too. Imagine feeling completely

00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:18.320
free to wear whatever you want, whenever you

00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:21.300
want to. Imagine just focusing on your day and

00:42:21.300 --> 00:42:23.820
not on your scalp. That's the difference that

00:42:23.820 --> 00:42:27.900
flakes makes. Go to lvx .be slash flakes for

temporary fixes that smell like the produce section

00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:37.500
of your grocery store. Fight back with a shampoo

00:42:37.500 --> 00:42:41.539

photos, your bank accounts, your family's privacy,

00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:57.480
it all needs more than just a basic firewall.

00:42:57.940 --> 00:43:01.559
You need Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes is your complete

00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:03.960

it can do any damage. But it doesn't stop there.

00:43:53.530 --> 00:43:59.409
busy weekend. Are you ready for all this fucking

00:43:59.409 --> 00:44:02.909
boxing? Let me ask the audience. Are they ready

00:44:02.909 --> 00:44:06.690
to hear all Josh's ranting? Because I think he's

00:44:06.690 --> 00:44:09.920
going to be ranting very, very soon. Actually,

00:44:09.980 --> 00:44:12.000
I'm pretty content with this weekend. There's

00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:18.059
actually only one guy I really could say I want

00:44:18.059 --> 00:44:21.980
gone, and it's not going to be the one you think.

00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:26.119
Okay, I have my guesses, and I'll hold it until

00:44:26.119 --> 00:44:30.099
we get to it. All right, so starting off, this

00:44:30.099 --> 00:44:36.260
is the most beautiful, succulent, rich -tasting

00:44:36.260 --> 00:44:39.510
appetizer that you could ever ask for. For a

00:44:39.510 --> 00:44:43.429
big boxing weekend. Friday January 30th. Pro

00:44:43.429 --> 00:44:49.170
Box TV. This will be free on YouTube. This. If

00:44:49.170 --> 00:44:53.690
you have the opportunity. To go. The live casino

00:44:53.690 --> 00:44:56.909
and hotel. In Hanover Maryland. If you can go.

00:44:57.489 --> 00:45:03.449
Fucking do go. Pro Box is like the. It's like

00:45:03.449 --> 00:45:09.289
the lifeblood. Of this fucking sport man. Moving

00:45:09.289 --> 00:45:13.469
up the bill, there are a lot of names that you're

00:45:13.469 --> 00:45:16.469
not going to recognize that doesn't really matter.

00:45:16.809 --> 00:45:23.949
Probox makes even matched events. They put guys

00:45:23.949 --> 00:45:28.090
in fights where either guy is equally liable

00:45:28.090 --> 00:45:33.010
to lose. If you come into a Probox event with

00:45:33.010 --> 00:45:36.750
an undefeated record, you better be ready to

00:45:36.750 --> 00:45:40.090
risk it. Yeah, you're not going to get babied.

00:45:41.789 --> 00:45:45.210
In the co -main event, Sulaiman Sagawa versus

00:45:45.210 --> 00:45:51.969
Renee Palacios. Sulaiman Sagawa, if you know,

00:45:52.070 --> 00:45:54.989
you know. And you know you're getting a good

00:45:54.989 --> 00:46:05.010
fight with Sagawa in it. And headlining, Brian

00:46:05.010 --> 00:46:11.110
Flores versus Starling Castillo. Hold on. Starling

00:46:11.110 --> 00:46:14.690
Castillo has a very interesting name. Sparkinson

00:46:14.690 --> 00:46:21.489
Starling Wilson Almonte Castillo is his full

00:46:21.489 --> 00:46:30.769
name. That's just fantastic. But yeah, that's

00:46:30.769 --> 00:46:35.980
ProBox. It's going to be a good time. Let's move

00:46:35.980 --> 00:46:41.300
to Saturday, January 31st. These fights will

00:46:41.300 --> 00:46:45.780
not be listed in order chronologically. They're

00:46:45.780 --> 00:46:48.119
just going to be listed in order of importance.

00:46:48.940 --> 00:46:53.079
So starting us off, primetime boxing on DAZN

00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:59.380
in Kolding, Denmark. Not a whole lot going on

00:46:59.380 --> 00:47:03.380
in this card. In the co -main, Tina Torslund.

00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:07.980
Versus Lila Furtado. Interim WBC featherweight

00:47:07.980 --> 00:47:13.280
title. That's a women's fight. Dina is not bad.

00:47:14.179 --> 00:47:16.920
If you want to give women's fights a chance.

00:47:17.539 --> 00:47:23.500
That's not a bad one to do it. In the main. Jacob

00:47:23.500 --> 00:47:29.320
Bank versus William Skull. That same William

00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:37.039
Skull. So that's happening. Is this... This is

00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:44.800
my guess for Josh's... William Scull? No, actually.

00:47:45.179 --> 00:47:49.519
Really? Yes, it is. It's in the top rank card.

00:47:49.840 --> 00:47:52.280
Oh, okay. Never mind then. Oh, I know which one

00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:55.559
it is. I was going to say, I got no... William

00:47:55.559 --> 00:47:59.199
Scull is like... He's boring, but also like...

00:47:59.199 --> 00:48:03.019
He's a deeply negative fighter, but also... You

00:48:03.019 --> 00:48:09.349
know, it's not like... he's completely unbeatable

00:48:09.349 --> 00:48:13.710
and unhittable. Like, I'm sure a good enough

00:48:13.710 --> 00:48:19.130
operator at 168 who isn't faded can totally at

00:48:19.130 --> 00:48:25.730
least touch him up and make him fight. Well,

00:48:25.869 --> 00:48:31.570
that's my pick, bust. Canceled. Adam Azeem versus

00:48:31.570 --> 00:48:34.659
Gustavo Lemos. Both guys pulled out of this one,

00:48:34.739 --> 00:48:38.099
right? Lemos pulled out first. The replacement,

00:48:38.420 --> 00:48:41.340
there was a replacement, then Azeem pulled out.

00:48:43.820 --> 00:48:46.940
Why did Azeem pull out? He was injured as well.

00:48:48.679 --> 00:48:51.760
Jesus Christ. Yeah, I was looking forward to

00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:56.059
this. Azeem versus Lemos. Azeem is stepping up

00:48:56.059 --> 00:49:01.679
his competition. But what are you going to do?

00:49:03.280 --> 00:49:08.480
Yeah, fuck it. Matchroom at the Newcastle Arena.

00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:14.920
Now, there's other stuff on the bill. I'm sure

00:49:14.920 --> 00:49:19.780
they're wonderful fights. My two picks here,

00:49:20.199 --> 00:49:27.340
Josh Padley versus Jawad Belmedi. I practiced

00:49:27.340 --> 00:49:32.360
that one on Boxing Before Dark. Jawad. That's

00:49:32.360 --> 00:49:35.340
a tough one. Four fucking vowels in a row, dude.

00:49:35.519 --> 00:49:40.500
What the fuck is this? So yeah, Josh Padley,

00:49:40.679 --> 00:49:46.659
the people's electrician, and Makram Murtazaliev

00:49:46.659 --> 00:49:51.860
versus Josh Kelly for the IBF Super Welterweight

00:49:51.860 --> 00:50:02.050
title. Comrade Padley. Yeah. I mean, I can't...

00:50:02.050 --> 00:50:04.469
I was telling Leo before this. I literally cannot

00:50:04.469 --> 00:50:08.449
make a case for the Murtazilov fight versus Kelly

00:50:08.449 --> 00:50:12.769
other than Murtazilov destruction over Kelly.

00:50:12.889 --> 00:50:15.309
I'm happy with him getting back in the ring and

00:50:15.309 --> 00:50:21.010
I'm extra happy that he's going to just like

00:50:21.010 --> 00:50:25.389
eviscerate Josh Kelly. One thing I will say and

00:50:25.389 --> 00:50:31.500
I was... I'm gonna give Kelly... I'm going to

00:50:31.500 --> 00:50:34.320
try to defend Kelly, okay? And it's not even

00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:37.179
going to be based even off his skill or anything

00:50:37.179 --> 00:50:41.539
that he can do, but a fate itself. I got a weird

00:50:41.539 --> 00:50:43.840
feeling that Britain's going to become filled

00:50:43.840 --> 00:50:47.960
with champions this year after that win from

00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:53.219
Don Smith. Oh, my God. It is the end times. Hold

00:50:53.219 --> 00:50:57.860
up, hold up, hold up, hold up. If Britain's on

00:50:57.860 --> 00:51:01.780
the upswing and Kelly wins, It might just fucking...

00:51:01.780 --> 00:51:05.940
It might be fate. It might just be fate. Because

00:51:05.940 --> 00:51:09.579
you got Bobby Wardley becoming a champ. You got

00:51:09.579 --> 00:51:12.260
Donald Smith. It might be fate that you have

00:51:12.260 --> 00:51:15.239
a British champion in this division. Right, guys?

00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:23.239
Come on. Anybody? Nobody? Listen, man. Anything

00:51:23.239 --> 00:51:27.039
to get boots are free. A free title, I guess.

00:51:29.260 --> 00:51:33.219
Hey. Let's go Murda Zaylov, though, because he's

00:51:33.219 --> 00:51:36.099
going to win. Yeah. Say anything to give Boots

00:51:36.099 --> 00:51:41.360
a free title, man. I got you. I want to pose

00:51:41.360 --> 00:51:45.920
a conspiracy theory here. Oh, shit. With what

00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:51.059
Saul just said about 2026 being the year of British

00:51:51.059 --> 00:51:55.739
champions. Now, if we think about the American

00:51:55.739 --> 00:52:00.369
legislation that we just talked about. What if

00:52:00.369 --> 00:52:05.349
the sanctioning bodies funnel their belts into

00:52:05.349 --> 00:52:09.190
other countries? Oh, shit. That's kind of a...

00:52:09.190 --> 00:52:14.630
That's fucking crazy, but that... Hey. That's

00:52:14.630 --> 00:52:19.130
got some merit, right? It's got some amount of

00:52:19.130 --> 00:52:21.610
merit. You put money in the right pockets, and

00:52:21.610 --> 00:52:27.320
maybe Josh Kelly wins. Oh, well, Mertazaliev

00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:30.320
is Russian, so never mind. This is not the best

00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:34.840
example, but... But he's with an American promoter.

00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:43.940
True. So, there's that. But just food for thought.

00:52:44.360 --> 00:52:47.539
Maybe. Maybe not. I didn't even think about that

00:52:47.539 --> 00:52:52.760
until now. That's crazy. Could be. Anything more

00:52:52.760 --> 00:53:04.980
for Matchroom? Moving on to top rank on... Yeah,

00:53:05.179 --> 00:53:10.099
this could be on... Brazzers? Yeah, top rank

00:53:10.099 --> 00:53:13.039
on Brazzers. That's exactly what is fucking happening

00:53:13.039 --> 00:53:15.260
right now. They would probably get more fucking

00:53:15.260 --> 00:53:18.880
viewership on Brazzers, too. This is on Tubi,

00:53:19.059 --> 00:53:24.659
Pluto TV, Fubo, fucking Roku, Vizio, wherever

00:53:24.659 --> 00:53:30.320
you can get the channel. Top Rank Classics. You

00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:38.599
will find this fight. Moving up the bill, I see

00:53:38.599 --> 00:53:43.880
Juanmita Lopez is in a fight with Connor Goad.

00:53:46.360 --> 00:53:48.440
It's going to be a good fight. Juanmita is a

00:53:48.440 --> 00:53:52.260
very nice prospect. For being one of the small

00:53:52.260 --> 00:53:55.019
guys, he's really explosive. It's pretty fucking

00:53:55.019 --> 00:54:00.929
cool. Let's see. Giovanni Santillan is moving

00:54:00.929 --> 00:54:04.289
up to super welterweight. He's fighting Courtney

00:54:04.289 --> 00:54:11.250
Pennington. Holy shit. 17, 11, and 3. A little

00:54:11.250 --> 00:54:12.570
bit scraping the bottom of the barrel for that

00:54:12.570 --> 00:54:19.409
guy. So, yeah. That is certainly a fight. In

00:54:19.409 --> 00:54:22.489
the co -main, Rohan Polanco versus Christian

00:54:22.489 --> 00:54:30.639
Gomez. Polanco is a solid prospect at welterweight.

00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:35.960
Christian Gomez looks like a durable type of

00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:40.380
guy that they pulled out. I'm expecting Polanco

00:54:40.380 --> 00:54:45.460
to get this done early. I'm not expecting much

00:54:45.460 --> 00:54:50.480
from Gomez here. You might see a Polanco decision.

00:54:52.260 --> 00:54:56.059
Possible, yeah. He hasn't been looking too, too

00:54:56.059 --> 00:55:01.960
hot recently. In the main, Xander Zayas, the

00:55:01.960 --> 00:55:08.420
WBO super welterweight champion versus WBA champ

00:55:08.420 --> 00:55:14.539
Abbas Baru. Here's the one. I want Zayas gone,

00:55:14.780 --> 00:55:20.460
dude. This guy is going to get the belt and hold

00:55:20.460 --> 00:55:23.199
them hostage because of the depth of how deep

00:55:23.199 --> 00:55:30.159
the division is. And that is... I think I disagree

00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:36.920
with you. I want Zayas to lose. But I don't think

00:55:36.920 --> 00:55:41.519
he is. I'm saying I want him gone. I'm just upset

00:55:41.519 --> 00:55:45.480
that he's going to hold the belts hostage. It's

00:55:45.480 --> 00:55:50.599
going to be rough. Have a 2B fighter. 2B unified

00:55:50.599 --> 00:55:56.199
champion. 2B fight? Yeah, this guy's too be fighting.

00:55:56.239 --> 00:55:59.300
I mean, hey, honestly, if top rank can't get

00:55:59.300 --> 00:56:03.400
a fucking deal going, they might put him in a

00:56:03.400 --> 00:56:06.920
hard fight. Or they'll send him somewhere else.

00:56:07.039 --> 00:56:09.940
They might have him unified. If they can't get

00:56:09.940 --> 00:56:12.480
a deal, then they're going to have to send him

00:56:12.480 --> 00:56:19.320
off to fight like Fundora or Murtazaliev. This

00:56:19.320 --> 00:56:22.539
is true. Or fight Virgil, maybe, or Boots. Right.

00:56:22.659 --> 00:56:27.039
Yeah, those are good payouts. Exactly. I don't

00:56:27.039 --> 00:56:28.920
know. It would be hard for them. You know, I

00:56:28.920 --> 00:56:30.860
feel like they would want to keep the Puerto

00:56:30.860 --> 00:56:33.340
Rican fan base with them, whatever they got left.

00:56:33.840 --> 00:56:38.840
He would be their single lifeboat, Xander Zayas.

00:56:39.039 --> 00:56:42.179
Like, get on the lifeboat while you can, because

00:56:42.179 --> 00:56:45.860
the top -ranked ship is fucking sinking. Oh,

00:56:45.860 --> 00:56:49.599
yeah. I mean, I generally think Zayas is going

00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:53.699
to beat Abbas Barrow. I know that. In the last

00:56:53.699 --> 00:56:59.420
fight, he looked like a damn good dog. Yo, and

00:56:59.420 --> 00:57:04.480
that's Tejas, though. Come on. Exactly. Look,

00:57:05.000 --> 00:57:09.760
Abos fought really well last time. He showed

00:57:09.760 --> 00:57:14.519
heart, and he's aggressive to an extent. I think

00:57:14.519 --> 00:57:16.300
it's going to be a very good fight between the

00:57:16.300 --> 00:57:22.210
two. But I just think Zayas has more... skills

00:57:22.210 --> 00:57:24.550
to his game where he's only like 22 23 years

00:57:24.550 --> 00:57:27.369
old and he's still got a lot more to learn whereas

00:57:27.369 --> 00:57:31.670
abos browse but 30 31 he's already hit peak so

00:57:31.670 --> 00:57:34.010
we don't we don't have we've already seen the

00:57:34.010 --> 00:57:35.769
best of abos brow but we haven't seen the best

00:57:35.769 --> 00:57:38.250
of zayas yet so i think the best is going to

00:57:38.250 --> 00:57:41.630
come out of him in this fight because i don't

00:57:41.630 --> 00:57:44.230
think he's taking this shit lightly i gotta give

00:57:44.230 --> 00:57:46.190
him that i generally don't think that zander

00:57:46.190 --> 00:57:49.949
zander is taking this shit with a grain of salt.

00:57:50.090 --> 00:57:53.710
He's taking it with a whole tablespoon. You know?

00:57:54.070 --> 00:57:56.809
So, as much as I don't want Zayas to hold the

00:57:56.809 --> 00:57:59.510
belt hostage, I think he's going to win the fight

00:57:59.510 --> 00:58:05.289
and become unified. At 154. The first unified

00:58:05.289 --> 00:58:09.269
champion in what? Four years? Since Charlo? Since

00:58:09.269 --> 00:58:17.110
Charlo, yeah. Or not Charlo, Jamal. So, it'll

00:58:17.110 --> 00:58:19.190
be probably the... He would probably be the youngest

00:58:19.190 --> 00:58:21.449
unified champion in the sport as well right now,

00:58:21.510 --> 00:58:26.349
which is a feat in and of itself. Hell, they

00:58:26.349 --> 00:58:28.630
might just try to push him on the damn pound

00:58:28.630 --> 00:58:32.809
for pound if they wanted to. That's how Devin

00:58:32.809 --> 00:58:35.670
Haney got up there. That would be a mistake.

00:58:37.630 --> 00:58:43.349
Yes, that is likely what Top Rank and their PR

00:58:43.349 --> 00:58:49.079
machine would try to do. Like that, no. We'll

00:58:49.079 --> 00:58:51.920
have to see how he looks. We'll have to see how

00:58:51.920 --> 00:58:54.300
he looks in this before we start talking about

00:58:54.300 --> 00:58:58.039
Zaius, even as a unified champion. We'll see

00:58:58.039 --> 00:59:03.840
if that's pound for pound worthy. Well, I mean,

00:59:03.840 --> 00:59:06.519
honestly, if he's unified champion, he's got

00:59:06.519 --> 00:59:09.780
a pretty decent case. He has a good claim. You're

00:59:09.780 --> 00:59:13.619
right. Yeah. To be unified, you have a decent

00:59:13.619 --> 00:59:18.019
case. I mean, we'll never know. Until after Saturday,

00:59:18.079 --> 00:59:23.119
of course. I would like to say, on behalf of

00:59:23.119 --> 00:59:29.659
Baru, his one defeat, if you watch that fight

00:59:29.659 --> 00:59:34.320
with Jack Colquet, Jack Colquet did not win.

00:59:37.780 --> 00:59:43.619
That's really all. For the sake of the memes,

00:59:44.480 --> 00:59:48.699
Abbas Baru winning would really fucking make

00:59:48.699 --> 00:59:54.219
me giggle. But I think you're right. I think

00:59:54.219 --> 01:00:01.019
Zayas is... He's adequately preparing. And I

01:00:01.019 --> 01:00:04.940
think he has the tools to make this fight work

01:00:04.940 --> 01:00:12.260
for him. Still riding for Baru. Still riding

01:00:12.260 --> 01:00:17.420
for him. That'll be a... That'll be a fun -ass

01:00:17.420 --> 01:00:20.360
fight. That'll be a fun -ass fight, I'll tell

01:00:20.360 --> 01:00:23.179
you that. You never know. He could be Zayas.

01:00:23.179 --> 01:00:26.400
He could become Unified Champion and shit. Any

01:00:26.400 --> 01:00:27.980
promotional company is going to want to fucking

01:00:27.980 --> 01:00:32.000
eat his ass out, you know? Yeah. Boots is going

01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:35.260
to jump on that if Virgil can't get made. Yeah.

01:00:36.440 --> 01:00:39.239
And it's going to be with two belts that Virgil's

01:00:39.239 --> 01:00:42.050
got no chance of getting. And Virgil will never

01:00:42.050 --> 01:00:45.570
touch a world title. Well, you got to shut the

01:00:45.570 --> 01:00:48.789
fuck up on that one. If Boots gets those titles,

01:00:48.909 --> 01:00:51.070
Boots is going to be the best. Death, taxes,

01:00:51.730 --> 01:00:55.289
Embiid never making a conference finals, and

01:00:55.289 --> 01:00:58.289
Virgil never getting a world title. Yeah, yeah,

01:00:58.309 --> 01:01:01.949
yeah. Who won this weekend? Who won this weekend?

01:01:02.750 --> 01:01:04.210
We'll talk about it next week, but who won this

01:01:04.210 --> 01:01:09.110
weekend? We'll talk about it next week. All right.

01:01:09.610 --> 01:01:14.070
I really hope that this does not conflict with

01:01:14.070 --> 01:01:20.010
Ring 6. This is a DAZN pay -per -view being held

01:01:20.010 --> 01:01:24.170
at Madison Square Garden. Top to bottom, this

01:01:24.170 --> 01:01:29.070
is a pretty solid card. From the bottom, we have

01:01:29.070 --> 01:01:36.530
Jarrell Miller versus Kingsley Ibe. That is certainly

01:01:36.530 --> 01:01:42.539
a fight. He's got a pretty cool name. Kingsley.

01:01:42.800 --> 01:01:49.119
I think he goes by Black Lion. Black Lion. Damn.

01:01:49.340 --> 01:01:54.139
I hope the Black Lion beats the Black Giant.

01:01:55.599 --> 01:02:03.340
Bro, the Giant? Ziyad Almayouf is fighting Kevin

01:02:03.340 --> 01:02:09.420
Castillo. Almayouf is a Saudi I don't think he

01:02:09.420 --> 01:02:14.539
himself is Saudi, but he's an insert from the

01:02:14.539 --> 01:02:22.420
Saudis. He's not bad, but he's still a plant.

01:02:23.119 --> 01:02:30.739
Yeah. The vacant WBC featherweight title, Bruce

01:02:30.739 --> 01:02:37.619
Carrington versus Carlos Castro. Carlos Castro,

01:02:37.840 --> 01:02:43.059
I think, is number two or three in the WBC rankings

01:02:43.059 --> 01:02:48.320
for the division. I would, as much as my heart

01:02:48.320 --> 01:02:51.460
is with Carlos Castro, he's a local boy for me.

01:02:52.860 --> 01:02:57.519
I don't think this is happening, buddy. Nope.

01:02:59.619 --> 01:03:05.590
I love to clown on Shushu. especially for that

01:03:05.590 --> 01:03:14.389
stupid -ass name. But, yeah, exactly. Moving

01:03:14.389 --> 01:03:20.130
up, Keyshawn Davis versus Jermaine Ortiz. Not

01:03:20.130 --> 01:03:22.489
a bad fight for Keyshawn to be kicking off his

01:03:22.489 --> 01:03:30.010
140 run. I'm hopeful Ortiz will give as much

01:03:30.010 --> 01:03:34.980
trouble as he gave to fucking Teofimo. And Lomachenko.

01:03:39.079 --> 01:03:42.900
Well. I'm going to tell you this. It's going

01:03:42.900 --> 01:03:46.960
to be a hard fight for Keyshawn. Yeah. Jermaine

01:03:46.960 --> 01:03:49.480
does not. It's not an easy night to work for

01:03:49.480 --> 01:03:52.719
people. He gave Lomachenko a hard fight. And

01:03:52.719 --> 01:03:55.019
he gave Teofimo a hard fight. Where a lot of

01:03:55.019 --> 01:04:00.539
people thought Teofimo lost. You know. So. If

01:04:00.539 --> 01:04:03.760
Keyshawn can knock out Jermaine Ortiz. That will

01:04:03.760 --> 01:04:09.940
send a message. He knocked out a guy that some

01:04:09.940 --> 01:04:15.320
of the other names in the facility at the time,

01:04:15.420 --> 01:04:17.800
he was considered one of the greatest fighters

01:04:17.800 --> 01:04:21.440
of that era. If he can knock out Jermaine Ortiz,

01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:25.179
that's going to be something that people are

01:04:25.179 --> 01:04:27.039
going to talk about. That's all I got to say.

01:04:27.139 --> 01:04:30.099
I hope he wins. Considering what's been happening

01:04:30.099 --> 01:04:33.079
with Keyshawn, I don't know. It's unsure. I'm

01:04:33.079 --> 01:04:34.880
unsure what's going to happen considering he's

01:04:34.880 --> 01:04:37.659
going up weight class, hasn't fought since last

01:04:37.659 --> 01:04:41.739
year. He's been a little inactive. He's been

01:04:41.739 --> 01:04:49.059
dealing with some mental mishaps. But I got to

01:04:49.059 --> 01:04:55.980
say that I hope Keyshawn wins. Do you think DB3

01:04:55.980 --> 01:05:02.650
will try to jump Jermaine as well? If Keyshawn

01:05:02.650 --> 01:05:09.829
loses. Oh, Jesus. I still can't believe you miss

01:05:09.829 --> 01:05:14.949
weight under BOMAC, dude. That's, like, that's

01:05:14.949 --> 01:05:16.809
the part of Keyshawn's career that, like, really

01:05:16.809 --> 01:05:20.590
gets me. Like, you train with, like, BOMAC where,

01:05:20.630 --> 01:05:24.530
like, he ate the fridge in its entirety. You

01:05:24.530 --> 01:05:27.590
have to deliberately try to miss weight with

01:05:27.590 --> 01:05:36.719
this man in your camp. But what do I know? Moving

01:05:36.719 --> 01:05:42.260
up, Carlos Adamas versus Ammo Williams. Adamas

01:05:42.260 --> 01:05:50.320
is the WBC middleweight champ. And big ups to

01:05:50.320 --> 01:05:54.039
Eddie Heard. Got his guy into a title fight,

01:05:54.179 --> 01:05:59.500
even though he doesn't fucking deserve it. I

01:05:59.500 --> 01:06:04.059
still don't mind the matchup. It's not bad. It's

01:06:04.059 --> 01:06:07.000
not terrible. Middleweight is pretty desolate,

01:06:07.139 --> 01:06:14.800
especially now that Janet Beck is... He's both

01:06:14.800 --> 01:06:17.840
signed with top rank and in the limbo of his

01:06:17.840 --> 01:06:26.400
failed drug test. It's not the worst fight in

01:06:26.400 --> 01:06:33.239
the world to make at 160. And in the main, WBO

01:06:33.239 --> 01:06:37.500
super lightweight champ, Teofimo Lopez takes

01:06:37.500 --> 01:06:43.300
on Shakur Stevenson. Official, official predictions.

01:06:43.639 --> 01:06:47.639
What do you guys got? I have Shakur in like a

01:06:47.639 --> 01:06:54.019
10 -2 performance. Honestly. Like, Teofimo has

01:06:54.019 --> 01:06:58.829
been, like, maybe he shows up, but... He has,

01:06:59.010 --> 01:07:01.829
at this point, in recent memory, he's shown up,

01:07:01.849 --> 01:07:05.250
like, once, because I don't really count Barbosa.

01:07:07.250 --> 01:07:10.269
Do you really count Josh Taylor, too? Yeah, because

01:07:10.269 --> 01:07:12.409
he showed up dialed in. Like, that was very clearly

01:07:12.409 --> 01:07:18.889
Teofimo, like, making the full use of his athleticism,

01:07:18.909 --> 01:07:25.309
but... We'll see. It's been six years since he

01:07:25.309 --> 01:07:28.050
beat Lomachenko. Yeah, it's been almost six years

01:07:28.050 --> 01:07:31.670
since he beat Lomachenko. And that was the last

01:07:31.670 --> 01:07:35.590
time he looked truly elite, whereas Shakur, say

01:07:35.590 --> 01:07:38.929
what you will, very consistent, very dialed in,

01:07:39.070 --> 01:07:44.510
and is definitely the type of guy to be able

01:07:44.510 --> 01:07:47.610
to embarrass Teofimo, considering Sandor dropped

01:07:47.610 --> 01:07:56.730
him twice. Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. The Teofimo

01:07:56.730 --> 01:08:01.170
that we get on fight night is anyone's guess.

01:08:01.690 --> 01:08:06.730
He has turned in fantastic performances, followed

01:08:06.730 --> 01:08:11.130
by shitty performances, followed by good, followed

01:08:11.130 --> 01:08:15.489
by bad, followed by bad. It's a fucking crapshoot

01:08:15.489 --> 01:08:22.909
with Teofimo. I do think genuinely. That Shakur,

01:08:23.010 --> 01:08:26.970
the prospect of fighting Shakur, is going to

01:08:26.970 --> 01:08:31.449
bring out the best of Teofimo? I still don't

01:08:31.449 --> 01:08:35.789
think it's going to be enough. Shakur, Josh,

01:08:35.909 --> 01:08:41.970
as you said, he turns it in perfectly every time.

01:08:42.569 --> 01:08:48.229
And I don't see Teofimo presenting too many issues.

01:08:49.980 --> 01:08:52.479
that Shakur hasn't had to deal with at this point.

01:08:54.520 --> 01:08:58.079
I got to tell you something about this fight.

01:08:58.600 --> 01:09:00.840
Honestly, I agree with both of you guys. I think

01:09:00.840 --> 01:09:04.100
that Shakur is going to win. I don't think it's

01:09:04.100 --> 01:09:06.840
going to be 10 -2. I feel like it's going to

01:09:06.840 --> 01:09:09.640
be closer to like a 7 -5. Yeah, also like an

01:09:09.640 --> 01:09:14.460
8 -4 type of... Yeah. Okay, okay. But, you know,

01:09:14.479 --> 01:09:19.159
honestly, I agree with Leo that... I generally

01:09:19.159 --> 01:09:20.920
think that TfM is going to give it his all because

01:09:20.920 --> 01:09:23.180
if he loses, what the fuck is he going to do?

01:09:24.020 --> 01:09:29.399
That's true. I don't know. He's a champion, but...

01:09:29.399 --> 01:09:33.319
That's not all he has. That's true. I mean, yeah.

01:09:34.239 --> 01:09:37.180
Without that, what does he have? Because he doesn't

01:09:37.180 --> 01:09:38.779
have that Ryan or Devin Haney fight anymore.

01:09:39.619 --> 01:09:41.960
Who's going to want to see him? He can't go up.

01:09:43.079 --> 01:09:46.220
He's very undersized. He might be able to land

01:09:46.220 --> 01:09:50.689
it, but I doubt it. If he wins the Shakur fight,

01:09:50.789 --> 01:09:55.829
oh my god, he's elite. I would consider him back

01:09:55.829 --> 01:09:59.270
in the top 10 pound for pound, honestly. It depends

01:09:59.270 --> 01:10:03.770
on how he wins it because I will say there's

01:10:03.770 --> 01:10:06.170
also question marks on Shakur's own capabilities

01:10:06.170 --> 01:10:11.770
just on regards to strength of resume. Yes, absolutely.

01:10:12.789 --> 01:10:18.359
Which is a major factor. So, like, I think Shakur

01:10:18.359 --> 01:10:20.899
from the eye test has more than enough to do

01:10:20.899 --> 01:10:25.060
it. But there is a chance that, like, this is

01:10:25.060 --> 01:10:27.500
a genuine case where Shakur could just be exposed.

01:10:30.340 --> 01:10:32.180
But how would he get exposed is my question.

01:10:32.720 --> 01:10:35.659
The thing is that he's great. He's a fantastic

01:10:35.659 --> 01:10:39.779
fighter at range. He's fantastic in the pocket.

01:10:40.340 --> 01:10:42.340
The only place that I think Teal can get him

01:10:42.340 --> 01:10:49.409
at is mid -range. And a mid -range... I feel

01:10:49.409 --> 01:10:51.909
like that's the only spot that Shakur, not lacks

01:10:51.909 --> 01:10:56.210
him, but is susceptible to getting hit in. You

01:10:56.210 --> 01:10:59.789
know? But that's not how it's going to go. I

01:10:59.789 --> 01:11:01.750
generally feel like if Tio's going to fight,

01:11:01.810 --> 01:11:03.770
he's going to fight with power. He's going to

01:11:03.770 --> 01:11:07.750
have to fight to knock him out. Where I understand

01:11:07.750 --> 01:11:10.710
that Tio at 140, the 140 Tio against 140 guys,

01:11:10.989 --> 01:11:14.489
he's kind of underpowered. He's got mediocre.

01:11:15.130 --> 01:11:19.850
He's got mediocre SWAT. But Shakur is a smaller

01:11:19.850 --> 01:11:22.369
guy. He's coming up from smaller weight classes.

01:11:22.430 --> 01:11:26.930
He fought Oscar Valdez at 130. You know? I mean,

01:11:26.989 --> 01:11:31.130
it's going to be a... It might be a hard fight

01:11:31.130 --> 01:11:33.909
for Shakur, mainly based on the power. And I

01:11:33.909 --> 01:11:36.350
was telling Leo about this before the pod. We've

01:11:36.350 --> 01:11:38.390
seen how Shakur fights when there's a guy with

01:11:38.390 --> 01:11:41.789
power. Edwin De Los Santos was a disgusting fight.

01:11:43.310 --> 01:11:45.270
atrocious because Shakur didn't want to throw

01:11:45.270 --> 01:11:46.750
because he didn't want to throw down with someone's

01:11:46.750 --> 01:11:50.750
power. So if Teo has power, I doubt Shakur's

01:11:50.750 --> 01:11:53.350
going to want to be close to mid -range with

01:11:53.350 --> 01:11:56.670
him. One thing's for sure is you're not going

01:11:56.670 --> 01:11:59.350
to see a Sabeda -type performance. That's for

01:11:59.350 --> 01:12:04.590
sure. I think it might be closer to Edwin De

01:12:04.590 --> 01:12:08.270
Los Santos. But I feel like Teo's elite enough

01:12:08.270 --> 01:12:14.010
to where he can... he can be able to secure some

01:12:14.010 --> 01:12:18.149
rounds off of activity. However, another thing

01:12:18.149 --> 01:12:21.909
too with Teo is that, and this goes back to the

01:12:21.909 --> 01:12:24.449
Jermaine Ortiz fight. A lot of people thought

01:12:24.449 --> 01:12:26.850
he lost that fight because Jermaine Ortiz outboxed

01:12:26.850 --> 01:12:29.270
him. I also think Jermaine Ortiz outboxed him,

01:12:29.310 --> 01:12:33.909
but Jermaine Ortiz is not even close to the fighter

01:12:33.909 --> 01:12:39.409
that Shakur is. Shakur can outbox anybody, in

01:12:39.409 --> 01:12:46.369
my opinion. And if Lopez was getting outboxed

01:12:46.369 --> 01:12:49.250
by Jermaine Ortiz, I think it's going to be a

01:12:49.250 --> 01:12:52.409
rough night for him in the ring with Shakur.

01:12:53.829 --> 01:12:57.670
But we'll see. Because, again, was Jermaine Ortiz's

01:12:57.670 --> 01:13:03.310
fight best to him? Not really. So, we'll see.

01:13:04.189 --> 01:13:09.239
It's a toss -up, honestly. I can't decide. It

01:13:09.239 --> 01:13:12.619
comes down to, we had this problem a few years

01:13:12.619 --> 01:13:15.579
ago. We had this problem with Adrian Broner,

01:13:15.600 --> 01:13:19.060
where what version of Broner is going to show

01:13:19.060 --> 01:13:23.680
up in the ring? Because we've seen Broner look

01:13:23.680 --> 01:13:28.439
like an elite, elite talent. And we've seen him

01:13:28.439 --> 01:13:33.420
show up like a fucking bag of shit. The irony

01:13:33.420 --> 01:13:38.470
here is that the extremes are so much more. For

01:13:38.470 --> 01:13:46.989
Teofimo, I feel like Broner, his lows were at

01:13:46.989 --> 01:13:49.949
least somewhat consistent, but his highs definitely

01:13:49.949 --> 01:13:52.350
aren't as high as Teofimo can go. It's so much

01:13:52.350 --> 01:13:58.350
more extreme with how Teofimo can look. Bipolar

01:13:58.350 --> 01:14:03.750
is a hell of a drug. Yeah, at least Broner, stylistically,

01:14:04.090 --> 01:14:09.180
there was a very... how do you put it, like,

01:14:09.260 --> 01:14:11.579
there was a sort of congruency stylistically.

01:14:11.739 --> 01:14:16.079
It really just depended on how he'd engage with

01:14:16.079 --> 01:14:18.920
the opponent, but within the confines of the

01:14:18.920 --> 01:14:26.920
same style. Whereas, oh my god, Teofimo can really

01:14:26.920 --> 01:14:30.380
just look so, like, he can look like he learned

01:14:30.380 --> 01:14:40.420
how to walk yesterday. It's that, That uncertainty

01:14:40.420 --> 01:14:44.060
is what makes me pick against Teofimo. He is,

01:14:44.300 --> 01:14:47.840
when he's great, when he's good, when he's dialed

01:14:47.840 --> 01:14:52.699
in, when he shows up, he's like an athletic fucking

01:14:52.699 --> 01:14:58.600
freak. But I don't know if that's what we're

01:14:58.600 --> 01:15:02.779
going to see on Saturday. I don't know if that's

01:15:02.779 --> 01:15:07.119
what it's going to be. So, I don't know. I can't

01:15:07.119 --> 01:15:12.079
pick him for that reason. Imagine Shakur gets

01:15:12.079 --> 01:15:17.539
knocked out. Oh, my God. It all depends on how.

01:15:17.819 --> 01:15:20.739
Like, if Shakur just looks incompetent and gets

01:15:20.739 --> 01:15:23.340
knocked out, yeah, that's going to be him getting

01:15:23.340 --> 01:15:26.159
exposed. If it's a tight fight down the stretch,

01:15:26.239 --> 01:15:28.640
the Teofimo actually looks good in and edges

01:15:28.640 --> 01:15:33.109
out, okay, it's two elite guys. Imagine if he

01:15:33.109 --> 01:15:34.350
gets knocked down. That's how Tank's going to

01:15:34.350 --> 01:15:35.449
get caught because he's going to come out of

01:15:35.449 --> 01:15:37.609
hiding to post on Twitter to shit on Shakur.

01:15:38.069 --> 01:15:40.390
And that's when I'm going to catch that. They're

01:15:40.390 --> 01:15:44.050
going to send IceJai, Isopataya to go capture

01:15:44.050 --> 01:15:47.810
Tank. And then boom. You have Tank captured.

01:15:48.029 --> 01:15:52.069
Shakur loses. Racist media will be so happy.

01:15:52.989 --> 01:15:58.409
Racism is back. Crazy. Anything more for ring

01:15:58.409 --> 01:16:02.329
six? This is how woke dies in boxing. Teofimo

01:16:02.329 --> 01:16:04.090
wins. That's another tip. Teofimo wins. Oh, my

01:16:04.090 --> 01:16:06.930
God. Where the liquor at? Woke is dead, guys.

01:16:07.329 --> 01:16:10.329
Yeah, that's crazy. I don't want... I want Shakur

01:16:10.329 --> 01:16:16.470
to win just for that fucking video. I want Teofimo

01:16:16.470 --> 01:16:25.800
to get dominated by a black man. Just for the

01:16:25.800 --> 01:16:27.720
comments that two people said, he deserves that

01:16:27.720 --> 01:16:34.699
shit. Oh, yeah. Send Shakur some bananas now,

01:16:34.819 --> 01:16:41.720
bitch. Yeah. Fucking racist ass. Anything more

01:16:41.720 --> 01:16:44.720
for Ring 6? Fuck you, Hitchens. You didn't show

01:16:44.720 --> 01:16:47.539
up to fight Keyshawn. I'm just kidding. I all

01:16:47.539 --> 01:16:51.199
respect you, Hitchens. Let's round out the weekend

01:16:51.199 --> 01:16:59.479
with... Zufa on Paramount+. Why are we even talking

01:16:59.479 --> 01:17:04.739
about it with how much we fucking hate it? At

01:17:04.739 --> 01:17:09.199
the Meta Apex in Las Vegas, there are actually

01:17:09.199 --> 01:17:14.699
some decent fights on here. Starting from the

01:17:14.699 --> 01:17:17.220
bottom, moving up, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:17:17.279 --> 01:17:21.380
Jaleel Hackett, that's a name I recognize, fighting

01:17:21.380 --> 01:17:30.300
Roberto Cruz. Hot Rod Kalachik is fighting Oleksandr

01:17:30.300 --> 01:17:43.000
Vostik. Not terrible. Sergey Bohachuk is facing

01:17:43.000 --> 01:17:53.199
Radza Butaev. Fun. If this is playing out...

01:17:53.609 --> 01:17:59.050
How Zufa says. Their stuff is playing out. This

01:17:59.050 --> 01:18:03.529
fight will be at middleweight. But. As we've

01:18:03.529 --> 01:18:07.229
already seen. Zufa does not adhere. To their

01:18:07.229 --> 01:18:09.510
own policies. I was going to say. This is two

01:18:09.510 --> 01:18:15.810
154 guys. What the fuck. If the trend continues.

01:18:16.409 --> 01:18:23.529
Then this should be at 154. Butaev. Was a. like

01:18:23.529 --> 01:18:30.010
a fringe uh secondary title holder at 147 he

01:18:30.010 --> 01:18:34.609
lost to stanley stanley onus i was like is it

01:18:34.609 --> 01:18:39.289
cody crowley or stanley onus yeah yeah it was

01:18:39.289 --> 01:18:42.229
stanley onus it was a it was a good fight and

01:18:42.229 --> 01:18:46.449
it was a competitive fight so not the worst loss

01:18:46.449 --> 01:18:53.100
you might say uh no not bad at all but Not bad

01:18:53.100 --> 01:18:55.460
for him to be moving up. The thing is that he's

01:18:55.460 --> 01:18:58.260
been inactive for, I think he's had one fight

01:18:58.260 --> 01:19:02.760
in the last three years. So I'm expecting him

01:19:02.760 --> 01:19:07.119
to get clobbered. Ukraine, clobbering Russia.

01:19:08.680 --> 01:19:17.180
I'm here for it. And in what I feel is a personal

01:19:17.180 --> 01:19:21.100
betrayal, Rayo Valenzuela. He's facing Diego

01:19:21.100 --> 01:19:30.220
Torres. Someone said... Go on. What a weird career

01:19:30.220 --> 01:19:34.079
from Ryo for the record. Like, it's the most...

01:19:34.079 --> 01:19:38.279
Like, it's probably the, like, best 14 -3 record

01:19:38.279 --> 01:19:46.140
I've seen in my life. For what it is. Yeah. Lost

01:19:46.140 --> 01:19:49.779
three times, became a champion. Edwin De Los

01:19:49.779 --> 01:19:55.859
Santos, GAR, and who's his third? Chris Colbert

01:19:55.859 --> 01:19:58.539
robbery. The robbery with Chris Colbert. But

01:19:58.539 --> 01:20:03.680
wait, that one doesn't count. The eradication

01:20:03.680 --> 01:20:09.319
of Chris Colbert the next time around was more

01:20:09.319 --> 01:20:20.560
than enough. Somebody in chat said, GAR bitched

01:20:20.560 --> 01:20:26.359
Valenzuela so hard he left PBC to Zufa. Yeah,

01:20:26.359 --> 01:20:34.000
probably. It was a pretty rough defeat. Still,

01:20:34.220 --> 01:20:43.060
going to Zufa, dude. Come on. What do you mean,

01:20:43.119 --> 01:20:47.199
bro? It's the best fighting the best. Yeah. Well,

01:20:47.199 --> 01:20:50.479
yeah, Diego Torres, he's really fucking doing

01:20:50.479 --> 01:20:54.479
it for me. Well, I got to give respect to Diego

01:20:54.479 --> 01:21:02.939
Torres. He can do what GAR couldn't. And make

01:21:02.939 --> 01:21:06.079
the same as an ICE agent doing it. He's getting

01:21:06.079 --> 01:21:12.560
$200 a round, $50K in insurance. You guys ever

01:21:12.560 --> 01:21:15.739
see that clip of that Ron Perlman interview where

01:21:15.739 --> 01:21:18.359
he's like, they gave me $40 and a sandwich to

01:21:18.359 --> 01:21:25.720
do the monologue for Fallout. He's making more

01:21:25.720 --> 01:21:28.800
than most of these Zufa fighters make. Doing

01:21:28.800 --> 01:21:36.060
that monologue in the 90s. As I understand it,

01:21:36.119 --> 01:21:41.760
he elected for that. He asked for less. He didn't

01:21:41.760 --> 01:21:44.380
care about the project when they called him for

01:21:44.380 --> 01:21:45.899
the second one. He was like, there's a second

01:21:45.899 --> 01:21:49.460
one? Yeah, I thought this was like a no -name

01:21:49.460 --> 01:21:52.979
dud. Yeah, he was just doing a computer game

01:21:52.979 --> 01:21:58.220
for the kids. Valenzuela's not doing a computer

01:21:58.220 --> 01:22:02.819
game for the kids. He's selling out. He's selling

01:22:02.819 --> 01:22:06.520
out. There's not even a sandwich included either.

01:22:06.840 --> 01:22:11.789
God, no. He has to pay for craft services. But

01:22:11.789 --> 01:22:20.229
yeah, that's Zufa. That'll be on Sunday, February

01:22:20.229 --> 01:22:30.289
1st. That is not bad hangover boxing. I don't

01:22:30.289 --> 01:22:35.510
have to actually dial in and pay attention. Because

01:22:35.510 --> 01:22:39.500
these dudes are not... Leaving this ecosystem.

01:22:39.819 --> 01:22:42.880
Anytime soon. So they're not going to be relevant.

01:22:43.319 --> 01:22:50.500
Anytime soon. But there you go. What name are

01:22:50.500 --> 01:22:52.340
we going to give this week? Last year we had

01:22:52.340 --> 01:22:57.220
Ape Day. Remember? This year what are we going

01:22:57.220 --> 01:23:00.840
to call it? No I can't say that. I was going

01:23:00.840 --> 01:23:05.340
to add an R. Okay yeah. I can't say that though.

01:23:06.159 --> 01:23:09.640
That's going to lose out on our remaining sponsors.

01:23:10.840 --> 01:23:17.619
Commemorative YSL Poverty Day. Janet. Janet Beck.

01:23:17.859 --> 01:23:24.760
Janet. Order Up Day. Janney. Janney. Janney Tatum.

01:23:24.859 --> 01:23:27.239
Hey, you can't say that when we're both Jannies,

01:23:27.239 --> 01:23:39.079
though, Leo. Yeah. Janet Beck Day. Day Jens?

01:23:41.300 --> 01:23:46.000
31 flavors? Let's just do Ape Day 2. We can just

01:23:46.000 --> 01:23:50.020
do Ape Day 2. Yeah, Ape Day. This is another

01:23:50.020 --> 01:23:54.159
Ape Day. Yeah, another Ape Day. And this time

01:23:54.159 --> 01:23:55.520
it's actually going to be with great fucking

01:23:55.520 --> 01:23:58.560
fights. Last time was also great fights, but

01:23:58.560 --> 01:24:00.640
this is even greater. Watch them all be terrible.

01:24:00.859 --> 01:24:02.960
Just because we gave them the label Ape Day.

01:24:03.550 --> 01:24:06.550
Oh, shit. That's true, because last Ape Day was...

01:24:06.550 --> 01:24:10.850
Ooh, you're right, huh? Wasn't last Ape Day like

01:24:10.850 --> 01:24:14.390
the ring one or... No. No, last Ape Day was Richard

01:24:14.390 --> 01:24:17.630
Torres versus the Italian guy. And then it was

01:24:17.630 --> 01:24:20.890
Janabek. And then it was Tim Zoo. Versus American

01:24:20.890 --> 01:24:26.649
Dude. Yeah, Ape Day. This is better. Good Ape.

01:24:26.789 --> 01:24:29.409
Not bad Ape. Good Ape. This is Caesar, not...

01:24:29.409 --> 01:24:34.380
This is Caesar, not... not uh what the fucking

01:24:34.380 --> 01:24:40.199

01:24:40.199 --> 01:24:45.439
cuts uh all right i think we already did this

01:24:45.439 --> 01:24:49.119
um hold on what if your best thinking day wasn't

01:24:49.119 --> 01:24:51.840
a lucky accident what if you could access that

01:24:51.840 --> 01:24:54.600
clarity that sharp focus that feeling of being

01:24:54.600 --> 01:24:58.000
completely on whenever you need it we live in

01:24:58.000 --> 01:25:00.659
a world of distraction where mental fog can settle

01:25:00.659 --> 01:25:04.140
in before noon you need a natural edge, a simple

01:25:04.140 --> 01:25:06.060
way to clear the noise and elevate your mind.

01:25:06.859 --> 01:25:09.100
Introducing psilocybin, the daily supplement

01:25:09.100 --> 01:25:12.479
powered by extraordinary magic mushrooms. For

01:25:12.479 --> 01:25:14.619
centuries, these mushrooms have been revered

01:25:14.619 --> 01:25:16.720
for the unique compounds that support brain health

01:25:16.720 --> 01:25:20.720
in very groovy ways. Psilocybin has harnessed

01:25:20.720 --> 01:25:23.140
that power, making it easy to integrate it into

01:25:23.140 --> 01:25:26.000
your daily routine. When you take psilocybin,

01:25:26.119 --> 01:25:28.579
you're not getting a jolt of caffeine or a rush

01:25:28.579 --> 01:25:31.510
of sugar. You're nurturing your mind's long -term

01:25:31.510 --> 01:25:34.529
health and inner tranquility. Experience better

01:25:34.529 --> 01:25:37.810
focus for complex tasks, sharper memory recall,

01:25:37.909 --> 01:25:40.369
or a consistent, calmer energy throughout the

01:25:40.369 --> 01:25:43.930
day. Whatever you need, Soul Sivan has a supplement

01:25:43.930 --> 01:25:46.750

The food on your plate, the plants in the garden,

01:26:09.220 --> 01:26:11.939
they all depend on one tiny little hero, the

01:26:11.939 --> 01:26:14.979
honeybee. But bees are struggling, and the health

01:26:14.979 --> 01:26:17.680
of our planet is at stake, not to mention a third

01:26:17.680 --> 01:26:20.399
of what's on our dinner plate. Project Honeybee

01:26:20.399 --> 01:26:22.439
steps in with the belief that saving the bees

01:26:22.439 --> 01:26:25.250

This is where I think we already did it. Ape

01:27:45.539 --> 01:27:54.710
day. Ape day. I'm going to be with my new girlfriend.

01:27:54.829 --> 01:27:57.829
I'm watching boxing on Ape Day. You're going

01:27:57.829 --> 01:28:03.850
to be single by next podcast. Shit. Don't use

01:28:03.850 --> 01:28:07.189
me like that, bro. You're going to be... I finally

01:28:07.189 --> 01:28:09.189
got someone to watch this shit. I finally got

01:28:09.189 --> 01:28:14.170
someone to watch fucking Zufo with me. You're

01:28:14.170 --> 01:28:17.090
going to be single by next podcast, dude. I'm

01:28:17.090 --> 01:28:23.399
sorry. Hey, hey, hey. I can't say her name, but

01:28:23.399 --> 01:28:28.859
hey. Chick. Hey, lady. Hey, my lady. Hey, my

01:28:28.859 --> 01:28:33.420
love. It's like those Kitchen Nightmares episodes

01:28:33.420 --> 01:28:35.960
where they go like this. It really turned around

01:28:35.960 --> 01:28:38.619
the restaurant and then you look it up and it

01:28:38.619 --> 01:28:42.380
like tanked it. It closed before the episode

01:28:42.380 --> 01:28:44.899
aired. Watch me be pissed I mentioned it on the

01:28:44.899 --> 01:28:46.479
shit. Like, why the fuck you mentioned me on

01:28:46.479 --> 01:28:51.130
a boxing podcast? I don't even like boxing. I

01:28:51.130 --> 01:28:54.050
only watch it for you. And you got rid of the

01:28:54.050 --> 01:28:57.810
ramen sponsor. Go fuck yourself. Oh, my God.

01:28:58.250 --> 01:29:01.489
You're right, bro. No ramen sponsor. The Zufa.

01:29:01.569 --> 01:29:05.590
You're fucked, buddy. Yeah. That's it. Nah, but

01:29:05.590 --> 01:29:10.850
I'm going to call her D. Hey, D. I'm on here.

01:29:10.989 --> 01:29:13.970
I don't want to call you out. Hey, guys. Say

01:29:13.970 --> 01:29:15.569
hi to D. Put some respect in her name. Hello,

01:29:15.590 --> 01:29:20.970
D. Hello, D. Hello, Comrade D. Please break up

01:29:20.970 --> 01:29:25.449
with this man. Let him wallow in boxing discord

01:29:25.449 --> 01:29:29.310
with the rest of us. Yeah, bro. Especially, like,

01:29:29.430 --> 01:29:31.470
if we were watching Zufa, you can do better.

01:29:31.590 --> 01:29:34.829
At least pro -box. Oh, no. I'm not having to

01:29:34.829 --> 01:29:39.550
watch Zufa. Fuck that. I'm having to watch Kirk.

01:29:42.050 --> 01:29:44.970
I actually got a quote here that is, I think,

01:29:44.970 --> 01:29:50.250
pretty fun. This is from Flip Wilson. Whatever

01:29:50.250 --> 01:29:53.869
the fuck kind of name that is. You can't expect

01:29:53.869 --> 01:29:57.010
to hit the jackpot if you don't put a few nickels

01:29:57.010 --> 01:30:00.229
in the machine. I feel that applies really well

01:30:00.229 --> 01:30:06.069
to watching boxing cards. You're not going to

01:30:06.069 --> 01:30:10.729
get those sweet, sweet knockouts. Or those, like,

01:30:10.810 --> 01:30:15.970
12 -0 decisions. If you don't put the time in.

01:30:19.970 --> 01:30:22.229
Um, holy shit, we've been running for a little

01:30:22.229 --> 01:30:25.130
bit. Uh, that's it. That's gonna do it for this

01:30:25.130 --> 01:30:28.430
edition of the Boxing B -Sides. We'll see you

01:30:28.430 --> 01:30:32.789
on the other side of Ape Day. Ape Day. Ape Day

01:30:32.789 --> 01:30:32.970
2.
