00:00:00.740 --> 00:00:04.219
The B -Side in boxing. B -Side shit. B -Side.

00:00:04.259 --> 00:00:06.820
B -Side. And the B -Side. You got a B -Side.

00:00:06.900 --> 00:00:10.400
The B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. The B

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.759
-Side thing. This is the B -Sides Boxing Podcast.

00:00:20.579 --> 00:00:27.440
Alright. Fucking... Boxing B -Sides. Back up

00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:31.239
in your ears. I am joined by the comrades. Josh,

00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:35.640
how goes it? Excellent. Enjoying being Chinese

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:40.340
every second. And the one and only Saul. Hello,

00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:46.179
guys. Yeah, hello. If I kind of had to fucking

00:00:46.179 --> 00:00:50.840
blame mine there, Jesus Christ. All right. Before

00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:54.909
we get into the news. Extending the hand of friendship

00:00:54.909 --> 00:00:59.710
to our fellows over at Ultimate FN Casuals. January

00:00:59.710 --> 00:01:06.689
31st, UFC 325. There were some good stuff on

00:01:06.689 --> 00:01:11.650
here. Let's see. In the early prelims, Khan Ofli,

00:01:11.849 --> 00:01:15.730
the majority decision over Yiza, was a really

00:01:15.730 --> 00:01:18.609
fun fight. I thought it went the other way, but

00:01:18.609 --> 00:01:24.280
what do I know? And in the prelims, Billy Alacana

00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:28.019
submits Junior Taffa. It was actually a pretty

00:01:28.019 --> 00:01:32.459
fun fight. And in the main portion, Alexander

00:01:32.459 --> 00:01:36.379
Volkanovsky beats Diego Lopez again, more convincingly

00:01:36.379 --> 00:01:39.500
this time. So hopefully we don't have to rehash

00:01:39.500 --> 00:01:42.319
that fight later down the line. We knew that

00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:44.659
was going to happen. Yeah, who would have guessed

00:01:44.659 --> 00:01:48.480
it? But we definitely talk more about it over

00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:50.340
on Ultimate FM Casual. So wherever you're listening

00:01:50.340 --> 00:01:53.930
to this, you can find that too. So, into the

00:01:53.930 --> 00:01:59.129
news. The, uh, what did you call it? The dwarf

00:01:59.129 --> 00:02:01.349
police? The goblin police or something? Gnome

00:02:01.349 --> 00:02:04.790
hunters. Gnome hunters, that's what it was. Yeah,

00:02:04.870 --> 00:02:08.490
Geronte Davis was arrested in Miami, was released

00:02:08.490 --> 00:02:11.650
on bail. There's a new warrant for his arrest

00:02:11.650 --> 00:02:14.289
out of, he's in Miami, that's where he lives

00:02:14.289 --> 00:02:17.250
now, and there's a new warrant for his arrest

00:02:17.250 --> 00:02:21.909
in Maryland, where he's from. Because of parole

00:02:21.909 --> 00:02:24.789
violations, or probation violations, excuse me,

00:02:24.810 --> 00:02:29.729
where he was supposed to stay at his trainer

00:02:29.729 --> 00:02:34.210
Calvin Ford's house, but he was instead staying

00:02:34.210 --> 00:02:38.689
at, like, fancy hotels and stuff. Well done.

00:02:38.689 --> 00:02:42.569
What a dumbass. This fucking guy, man. Well done.

00:02:45.710 --> 00:02:49.129
Sorry, but that's a very idiotic move to do.

00:02:49.779 --> 00:02:53.620
That's just... There's not much to say. That's

00:02:53.620 --> 00:02:56.460
just idiotic to do. Like, it's really stupid,

00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:01.580
yeah. Yeah. When I was in the military, when

00:03:01.580 --> 00:03:05.000
I was young, underage, under drinking age, there...

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:11.159
On Fridays, before you leave, before you... Before

00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.360
weekend leave, right? Yeah, before you leave

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.780
for the weekend, they give you, like, they call

00:03:16.780 --> 00:03:20.030
it a safety brief. Like, don't... Add or subtract

00:03:20.030 --> 00:03:24.189
from the population. Don't drink and drive. Dumb

00:03:24.189 --> 00:03:26.789
shit that you would think is common sense. But

00:03:26.789 --> 00:03:31.729
when it got to the platoon level, my platoon

00:03:31.729 --> 00:03:33.870
sergeant would say, there's a right way to do

00:03:33.870 --> 00:03:37.689
the wrong thing. And he would look at us, the

00:03:37.689 --> 00:03:41.889
underage kids. I know what you're thinking. And

00:03:41.889 --> 00:03:45.650
I know what you want to do this weekend. So don't

00:03:45.650 --> 00:03:48.949
be a jackass. If you don't want to stay at Calvin

00:03:48.949 --> 00:03:51.949
Ford's house, maybe don't post it on social media.

00:03:52.289 --> 00:04:00.569
I don't know. Just an idea. Mayweather and his

00:04:00.569 --> 00:04:05.729
$340 million lawsuit against Showtime and Steven

00:04:05.729 --> 00:04:14.009
Espinoza. We all know what this is. My man is

00:04:14.009 --> 00:04:16.050
broke and he needs money. Yeah, my man is broke

00:04:16.050 --> 00:04:20.259
and he needs money. Crazy that him out of everyone

00:04:20.259 --> 00:04:24.680
could go broke, but... Crazy to sue fucking Al

00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:29.980
Heyman, too. Al Heyman is listed in the lawsuit,

00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:37.139
but not accused directly. Yeah. Interesting.

00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:40.439
Yeah, weird how that's strange that you would

00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:44.930
make that separation, because... If you're alleging

00:04:44.930 --> 00:04:48.709
that Steven Espinosa and Showtime were funneling

00:04:48.709 --> 00:04:52.970
your money to Al Heyman instead of you, then

00:04:52.970 --> 00:04:56.250
why is Al Heyman not included in the lawsuit?

00:04:56.610 --> 00:05:01.790
It's really weird. This seems desperate for money.

00:05:01.850 --> 00:05:03.750
Why didn't he do it eight years earlier? Right.

00:05:03.910 --> 00:05:06.129
Oh, I'm sorry. It's probably because Rick Glazer

00:05:06.129 --> 00:05:09.589
just told him now. Fucking Rick Glazer, dude.

00:05:09.689 --> 00:05:14.250
I can't. Rick Glazer cited. His, like, tweets

00:05:14.250 --> 00:05:17.470
are cited in the lawsuit as, like, evidence.

00:05:18.290 --> 00:05:22.009
Oh, my God. That is so... I thought I haven't

00:05:22.009 --> 00:05:25.670
seen some crazy shit in the sport. I don't know.

00:05:26.069 --> 00:05:29.490
That's a dumb shit. Yeah. I thought I've seen

00:05:29.490 --> 00:05:32.990
some crazy shit. That is the most dumb motherfucking

00:05:32.990 --> 00:05:38.470
shit I've heard of in the sport. Citing Twitter

00:05:38.470 --> 00:05:42.329
posts? At that point, I get to say that Dan Raphael...

00:05:42.810 --> 00:05:46.269
Ate my fucking kitchen pantry during COVID. And

00:05:46.269 --> 00:05:48.970
I could sue him for money. It's off the Twitter

00:05:48.970 --> 00:05:54.910
post. I don't know. That's some dumb shit. You

00:05:54.910 --> 00:05:57.110
know what? You can't blame Dan Raphael due to

00:05:57.110 --> 00:06:01.470
our proximity to Isaac, though. No one's body

00:06:01.470 --> 00:06:05.629
shaming Dan Raphael here. Well, we are, but...

00:06:05.629 --> 00:06:11.689
I'm saying there's more likely culprits. Yeah.

00:06:12.779 --> 00:06:18.920
It's like $340 million is not a small number.

00:06:19.819 --> 00:06:28.759
To file a suit on Rick Glazer's word, I don't

00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:32.420
know what level of fucking down bad you have

00:06:32.420 --> 00:06:35.079
to be. It's so delusion, yeah. The thing is,

00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:36.860
it's not even like a rumor that he's suing him.

00:06:36.899 --> 00:06:39.579
You could actually see the fucking court filings

00:06:39.579 --> 00:06:41.829
are there. yeah the court filings are there i

00:06:41.829 --> 00:06:45.370
mean you can see uh his evidence and obviously

00:06:45.370 --> 00:06:48.850
his evidence is just a bunch of bullshit so hey

00:06:48.850 --> 00:06:51.949
man's gotta make some food man man's gotta eat

00:06:51.949 --> 00:06:58.610
man's gotta eat in the following weeks i saw

00:06:58.610 --> 00:07:02.290
the uh an article that was outlining how he's

00:07:02.290 --> 00:07:05.269
it's the new york post not the most reputable

00:07:05.269 --> 00:07:12.050
source but it was um a couple who own a condo

00:07:12.050 --> 00:07:15.829
in New York, and they were alleging he was behind

00:07:15.829 --> 00:07:21.350
on rent, like, four or five months. Jesus. At,

00:07:21.449 --> 00:07:28.269
like, $100K a month. So, also not a small amount

00:07:28.269 --> 00:07:35.149
of money. This is kind of room tank, and the

00:07:35.149 --> 00:07:36.970
water tank's like this, man. It's pretty good.

00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:40.459
Yeah, I guess you're going to have to... Two

00:07:40.459 --> 00:07:45.100
peas in an idiot pod, I guess. Two bums. Two

00:07:45.100 --> 00:07:49.639
bums. Yeah, two money bums. Oh, that's literal

00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:52.160
bums in this case. Oh, yeah, you're right. Two

00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.560
bums for no money now. I might have more money

00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.240
than Mayweather at this point. Mayweather still

00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:00.620
has assets, I guess. He has really expensive...

00:08:00.620 --> 00:08:06.389
He's not very liquid. He's not liquid. I got

00:08:06.389 --> 00:08:09.449
a liquid acid, the Boxing B -Sides podcast. Kind

00:08:09.449 --> 00:08:13.290
of, right? And all my ramen that I have stored

00:08:13.290 --> 00:08:16.689
up. And all my ramen. And I can put that in liquid.

00:08:17.430 --> 00:08:20.250
And I eat it myself. That's what they call eating

00:08:20.250 --> 00:08:28.149
what you kill. Let's roll on. Angelo Leo. His

00:08:28.149 --> 00:08:34.549
intended voluntary defense fell through. And

00:08:34.549 --> 00:08:40.269
IBF has mandated that he has to face Raees Alim.

00:08:41.210 --> 00:08:44.090
And this fight, or yeah, the fight is probably

00:08:44.090 --> 00:08:47.649
going to Perspid, but we'll find out within,

00:08:47.730 --> 00:08:50.809
I think, the next week or so. So that's fun.

00:08:52.090 --> 00:08:56.389
Might be a Provox fight, you never know. That

00:08:56.389 --> 00:09:00.230
would be interesting if Provox won Perspid. True.

00:09:00.970 --> 00:09:05.139
That would be cool. Nah, we need it on Redneck

00:09:05.139 --> 00:09:13.320
Brawl. Oh my god. Redneck Brawl in Albuquerque?

00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:16.919
Exactly. That's where we need it. The saviors

00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:22.240
of the sport, man. Errol Spence and Tim Zhu.

00:09:23.500 --> 00:09:26.740
Looking like they're going to be opponents. Tim

00:09:26.740 --> 00:09:30.159
wants a tune -up. Errol Spence, of course, doesn't.

00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.740
I would suggest, if I know you're listening,

00:09:34.940 --> 00:09:39.539
Errol, it would be a really good idea to, after

00:09:39.539 --> 00:09:45.460
a two -year layoff, two -plus years, maybe take

00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:50.259
another fight. Yeah. Honestly, that beating you

00:09:50.259 --> 00:09:51.899
took last time with Crawford, he's going to need

00:09:51.899 --> 00:09:54.159
a tune -up, but obviously the man's not about

00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.340
tune -ups. Right. And one other thing, too, I

00:09:57.340 --> 00:09:58.840
sincerely doubt this fight's going to happen.

00:09:59.430 --> 00:10:01.129
How many times have I heard in the last two years?

00:10:01.269 --> 00:10:02.409
How many times have we heard in the last two

00:10:02.409 --> 00:10:03.590
years that Spencer's going to come back and fight

00:10:03.590 --> 00:10:06.169
someone? First it was Crawford, then it was Fandora,

00:10:06.289 --> 00:10:09.149
then it was Charlo, then it was Virgil, then

00:10:09.149 --> 00:10:11.429
it was Fandora again, and now it's fucking Tim

00:10:11.429 --> 00:10:14.149
Zhu. I'm pretty sure it was already rumored in

00:10:14.149 --> 00:10:18.590
the past to be with Tim Zhu. But, fuck it. You

00:10:18.590 --> 00:10:21.230
know? We'll see what happens. If it happens,

00:10:21.309 --> 00:10:26.389
it happens. I sincerely doubt it. Tim is beatable,

00:10:26.450 --> 00:10:30.600
though. Oh, Tim is beatable, 100%. So beatable,

00:10:30.659 --> 00:10:34.259
but, I mean, he's even remotely close to the

00:10:34.259 --> 00:10:38.919
same Spence. And that Spence was even close to

00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:43.059
how he was in the past. Pre -Yugas. Pre -Garcia,

00:10:43.259 --> 00:10:46.879
you know? Pre -car crash. Yeah, pre -car crash,

00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.480
you know? So, I mean, this is a Spence that's

00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:52.000
been out of the ring. Out of the bat, I was primed

00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.139
for over, fuck, five years? Hmm. I mean, come

00:10:56.139 --> 00:10:58.460
on. To say that Tim Zhu doesn't have a chance

00:10:58.460 --> 00:11:00.960
is a little silly. He does have a chance, but

00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.080
he is also very beatable. I favor Tim Zhu in

00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:06.019
this, to be honest with you. Also, the fact that

00:11:06.019 --> 00:11:08.220
Spence has never fought at 154. You never know.

00:11:08.299 --> 00:11:10.879
He might not be used to the weight. Tim Zhu's

00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:15.120
at 160 now. Oh, it's at 160? Tim Zhu's fighting

00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:18.019
at 160, so I'm expecting that's where they would

00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:24.639
do it. I feel like... That's just another Danny

00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.240
Garcia vs. Landy Lard type of fight. Two old

00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:32.360
men fighting for some glory that's already been

00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:33.960
taken up by other fighters in other divisions.

00:11:34.980 --> 00:11:39.100
Does Errol Spence have any name value left? In

00:11:39.100 --> 00:11:44.539
Texas, yeah. Like how he used to with the broader

00:11:44.539 --> 00:11:47.779
community? I mean, is he considered a credible

00:11:47.779 --> 00:11:55.379
win? No. At this point, no. Unless he KO's Tim

00:11:55.379 --> 00:12:01.580
Zu, knocks him out cold. Round one. Jermel Charlo.

00:12:02.620 --> 00:12:06.019
Fucking Erickson Lubin fashion. Yeah. Then maybe.

00:12:06.580 --> 00:12:10.539
But if he just goes to this decision with Tim

00:12:10.539 --> 00:12:16.080
Zu, and it was a very close fight, that man's

00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:21.419
shot. To me, he's already shot enough. But we'll

00:12:21.419 --> 00:12:23.980
see. You never know. How old is Cyril Spence?

00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:30.700
Like, what, 39 now? 38? You're not far off. I'm

00:12:30.700 --> 00:12:34.179
not far. I think 37. He's late 30s. 37. That's

00:12:34.179 --> 00:12:37.559
pretty damn old. Late 30s has been fighting.

00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:44.120
Oh, he's 35? Yeah. Oh, never mind. Well, still.

00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:47.840
Decently getting up there in age. In the fight

00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:52.360
game, that's pretty old. Yeah. I would say decently.

00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:54.759
He's not made for longevity the way he carries

00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:59.779
himself outside the ring either. Exactly. Yeah,

00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:03.639
this would be a different talk if he was keeping

00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.019
himself nice outside the ring. But, you know,

00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:13.120
I don't know how that went twice. Let's see.

00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.860
Jai Opataya versus Brandon Glanton. Jesus Christ,

00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:25.399
man. Just what? This is just... I mean, what

00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:30.559
did I expect when he signed to Zufa? Honestly,

00:13:30.620 --> 00:13:34.519
I expected worse. Brandon Glenn's a name, whether

00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:37.019
you like it or not. That's true. He's not the

00:13:37.019 --> 00:13:39.620
worst. As long as... I mean, it could have been

00:13:39.620 --> 00:13:42.580
fucking... One of your Cesar Chavez Jr. for all

00:13:42.580 --> 00:13:45.220
we could have known, you know? I guess you're

00:13:45.220 --> 00:13:51.110
right. That would have been pretty rough. Could

00:13:51.110 --> 00:13:57.129
be a decent scrap. I doubt it. Number 18 at cruiserweight

00:13:57.129 --> 00:14:02.850
on BoxRec. I mean, he went to another promotion.

00:14:04.730 --> 00:14:07.269
Yeah, it's cruiserweight. I mean, what else do

00:14:07.269 --> 00:14:08.970
you expect? He's not going to fight fucking Zerdos

00:14:08.970 --> 00:14:11.370
or who's busy. I would have hoped he would have

00:14:11.370 --> 00:14:14.769
fought McClane. Yeah. But, you know, obviously

00:14:14.769 --> 00:14:17.850
that's not going to happen. I don't want to do

00:14:17.850 --> 00:14:20.179
shit with his titles. I want to move around.

00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:24.220
Live opponent? What the hell is that? I don't

00:14:24.220 --> 00:14:26.600
know, yeah. It's kind of odd. I mean, David Benavidez

00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.779
is not even a cruiserweight. He's fighting arguably

00:14:28.779 --> 00:14:32.539
the second best guy in the division. So, I mean,

00:14:32.580 --> 00:14:40.019
hey. Go figure. Two bums. I'll leave it at that.

00:14:40.580 --> 00:14:45.080
Fucking goddammit, Opatayo. Good job, Dana. Frank

00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:50.129
Sanchez, Richard Torres. is going on the Fandora

00:14:50.129 --> 00:14:54.669
Thurman undercard on March 28th. That's going

00:14:54.669 --> 00:14:58.149
to be a pretty interesting fight. I hope, I really

00:14:58.149 --> 00:15:01.009
hope that Richard Torres wins, gets him even

00:15:01.009 --> 00:15:03.389
closer to a title, considering that Usyk's getting

00:15:03.389 --> 00:15:05.809
up in their age. This is a final elimination,

00:15:05.990 --> 00:15:09.909
right? I believe so, for the IBF. For the IBF?

00:15:10.049 --> 00:15:13.230
I mean, he probably, he would be, he would be

00:15:13.230 --> 00:15:15.389
one of the guys that will fight for the title

00:15:15.389 --> 00:15:18.440
win. It does become vacated, I believe, right?

00:15:18.500 --> 00:15:22.159
It doesn't just go down to the IBF interim. Well,

00:15:22.179 --> 00:15:25.179
they don't even have an interim, but... They'll

00:15:25.179 --> 00:15:27.740
be... Yeah, this is an eliminator, so they'll

00:15:27.740 --> 00:15:30.299
be in the mandatory slots for the vacant fight.

00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:37.720
Or he can call a mandatory for Usyk, right? Could,

00:15:37.940 --> 00:15:41.080
but... He could, yeah. I mean, if he wanted to.

00:15:41.220 --> 00:15:43.360
I don't think Usyk would want to at this point,

00:15:43.419 --> 00:15:46.710
to be honest. No. Well, I mean, that's a pretty

00:15:46.710 --> 00:15:49.049
decent way to get to a title is just call your

00:15:49.049 --> 00:15:50.889
mandatory and then fight someone else for it.

00:15:50.929 --> 00:15:52.490
Because you know who's going to fight Richard

00:15:52.490 --> 00:15:55.649
Torres, most likely. If he does, I'll be surprised.

00:15:57.269 --> 00:16:01.230
But, I mean, that would be the best shot to a

00:16:01.230 --> 00:16:03.570
title. However, you're going to have to fight

00:16:03.570 --> 00:16:06.850
a live dog like Dubois or anybody else ranked

00:16:06.850 --> 00:16:10.129
in the IBF. Hell, you might even need to fight

00:16:10.129 --> 00:16:16.379
Moe Zaitama. You know? Could be. You never know.

00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:19.679
I feel like that fight, to me, is going to go

00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:22.200
to Richard Torres. Not because of the bias, but

00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:25.840
also because Frank Sanchez is kind of shot a

00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:30.899
little bit, whereas Torres is not. He's got some

00:16:30.899 --> 00:16:34.259
years. He's got hella years. He's young as hell.

00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:43.840
I think Frank Sanchez is young 30s. Young 30s?

00:16:43.980 --> 00:16:49.419
Cuban. But he says he's like 32 or something.

00:16:50.940 --> 00:16:56.779
Yeah. We'll see. I mean, we already know his

00:16:56.779 --> 00:17:00.940
way to – how to beat him. Yeah. We already know

00:17:00.940 --> 00:17:02.340
how to beat him. So if Rich Torres can capitalize

00:17:02.340 --> 00:17:06.619
on that, then – There's also kind of a method

00:17:06.619 --> 00:17:11.079
to beat Rich Torres, and that's box. Frank Sanchez

00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:17.839
can box in a sense. So we'll see what happens

00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:22.819
with that. Speaking of Moses Itauma, the Itauma

00:17:22.819 --> 00:17:27.079
Jermaine Franklin card is also on the 28th. The

00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:31.059
whole, the entire bill got moved from its original

00:17:31.059 --> 00:17:36.920
date to this. So, fun. I'm glad that Itauma is

00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.019
still getting a shot. I'm glad that he's fighting

00:17:40.019 --> 00:17:43.359
the guy that we said he should fight, which is

00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:45.480
fun. Well, that's because Mosai Thomas listens

00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:47.460
to the show, so, you know, obviously he's going

00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:49.839
to fucking take our consideration. Valued listener.

00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:53.460
Exactly. Friend of the pod. The exact guy, too.

00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.920
Yeah, friend of the podcast. Yeah, Mosai Thomas,

00:17:57.019 --> 00:17:59.160
if you ever want to come back on. Yeah, real.

00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:04.460
Just let us know. Yeah. He apparently tore one

00:18:04.460 --> 00:18:09.980
of his biceps. Yeah, that hurts. Yeah, that sucks.

00:18:11.059 --> 00:18:12.839
I'm curious. Does that affect your power in any

00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:18.440
way? No, I wouldn't say so. I wouldn't think

00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:25.319
so either. Okay. Just want to make sure. Well,

00:18:25.619 --> 00:18:30.880
Deontay Wilder, Derek Chisora, April 4th. This

00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.839
one's going to be at the, I think the O2 in London.

00:18:35.339 --> 00:18:40.680
And it's going to be promoted by MF Pros. Speaking

00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:43.740
of power, that's some star power on that card

00:18:43.740 --> 00:18:45.880
there. I mean, whether you like it or not, I

00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:49.039
mean, there's people who did buy that Deontay

00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.000
Wilder pay -per -view when he fought that Richard

00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.960
Torres victim. You know? I think Derek DeJoy

00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.059
is going to win. Honestly. I feel like Deontay

00:19:00.059 --> 00:19:02.059
Wilder shot to hell. He's somehow less watched.

00:19:03.539 --> 00:19:05.599
And it's funny because you know why? Deontay

00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:09.380
Wilder, he seems kind of like he's back in his

00:19:09.380 --> 00:19:14.329
Bronze Bomber character. I doubt. He's got the

00:19:14.329 --> 00:19:18.809
same pop, but we'll see. A lot of him was just

00:19:18.809 --> 00:19:24.130
speed, which is not great for a guy. Like, he

00:19:24.130 --> 00:19:29.210
got old pretty quick. Just because of a very

00:19:29.210 --> 00:19:31.289
speed -based style. As soon as that declined,

00:19:31.609 --> 00:19:35.869
the rest of him kind of followed. Yeah, once

00:19:35.869 --> 00:19:37.470
you're not able to put your hand back up to your

00:19:37.470 --> 00:19:41.230
face, you're cooked, buddy. But, hey, I wish

00:19:41.230 --> 00:19:43.759
him the best. Mainly this jab that I've seen

00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:47.240
has declined the most. Like, it used to be really,

00:19:47.299 --> 00:19:52.779
really sharp. And it's just not there right now.

00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:57.500
Or hasn't been there for the past bit. Yeah,

00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:01.720
since, well... Since the Fury days. Yeah, since

00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:06.960
the Fury days. Five years ago, by the way. And

00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.980
Deontay Waters is actually up there in age, too.

00:20:10.430 --> 00:20:12.190
I mean, what did he pick? I'm pretty sure he

00:20:12.190 --> 00:20:15.069
himself is like 37, right? I think 37 or 39.

00:20:16.390 --> 00:20:22.869
Oh, he's inactive on Foxtrot. Yes, because he

00:20:22.869 --> 00:20:30.950
hasn't fought in a year. 40. Holy shit. Yeah,

00:20:30.970 --> 00:20:35.059
that's George Foreman age. Without the fat. Oh,

00:20:35.180 --> 00:20:38.420
he's not inactive. It's just he's number 43.

00:20:38.660 --> 00:20:42.539
I was looking at like the top 20 and he's not

00:20:42.539 --> 00:20:52.359
in it. Number 43 is crazy. Well, hopefully the

00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:55.599
undercard doesn't suck. It's MF pros. Who knows

00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:59.500
what they'll be able to put together. You never

00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:03.519
know. They might get a decent name on their up

00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:09.829
and comer. KSI. Yeah, KSI, fucking someone. Maybe

00:21:09.829 --> 00:21:17.210
Andrew Tate. Andrew Tate. Tyson Fury is fighting

00:21:17.210 --> 00:21:23.430
Arslanbek Makhmudov April 11th. Perfect fight

00:21:23.430 --> 00:21:27.130
for Fury to come back to. Perfect. In my opinion.

00:21:29.029 --> 00:21:31.369
Coming back to AJ, obviously AJ when I'm available.

00:21:33.470 --> 00:21:37.569
A fight with Dubois, too much power, you know.

00:21:38.809 --> 00:21:41.710
Wardley is a fucking... We already talked about

00:21:41.710 --> 00:21:43.450
Wardley how many fucking times this past couple

00:21:43.450 --> 00:21:46.190
months. We already know why he's not the safe

00:21:46.190 --> 00:21:50.230
option. So, Makhmudov doesn't seem to have crazy

00:21:50.230 --> 00:21:54.730
pop. Can also be knocked out. Can also be outboxed.

00:21:55.670 --> 00:21:59.809
Yeah. He's credible, though. Exactly, he's credible.

00:22:00.509 --> 00:22:02.410
For heavyweight. My question is, why the hell

00:22:02.410 --> 00:22:06.210
is this on Netflix? Not a Queensberry? It's not

00:22:06.210 --> 00:22:08.549
a Queensberry card. It's going directly through

00:22:08.549 --> 00:22:13.829
the ring. Which is odd to me. I agree. Considering

00:22:13.829 --> 00:22:19.970
how this fight will really get people to watch

00:22:19.970 --> 00:22:21.509
Netflix. I mean, it's going to be free, so people

00:22:21.509 --> 00:22:25.029
are going to watch it regardless. But this fight,

00:22:25.190 --> 00:22:28.589
rather than an Anthony Joshua fight, you never

00:22:28.589 --> 00:22:38.089
know. The plan is for assuming AJ is going to

00:22:38.089 --> 00:22:42.190
continue fighting. I think I've been seeing like

00:22:42.190 --> 00:22:47.029
online rumblings that he is, but assuming that

00:22:47.029 --> 00:22:48.809
he's going to continue fighting, they're both

00:22:48.809 --> 00:22:50.789
supposed to take a fight in the beginning of

00:22:50.789 --> 00:22:53.769
the year separately. And then they fight at the

00:22:53.769 --> 00:22:59.789
end of the year, according to turkeys. His brilliant

00:22:59.789 --> 00:23:04.509
master planning. His excellence. I can kind of

00:23:04.509 --> 00:23:05.750
see how they're going to market that second fight

00:23:05.750 --> 00:23:06.990
with AJ. And I feel like they're going to be

00:23:06.990 --> 00:23:08.450
rooting for AJ in that second fight just because

00:23:08.450 --> 00:23:12.529
of what happened with that situation. That unfortunate

00:23:12.529 --> 00:23:13.890
situation that happened at the beginning of the

00:23:13.890 --> 00:23:16.430
year. Yeah. I feel like that's how they're going

00:23:16.430 --> 00:23:18.490
to market it. That AJ's coming back and he's

00:23:18.490 --> 00:23:24.410
going to fight in the honor of his family. was

00:23:24.410 --> 00:23:26.910
friends but that that's that that those are basically

00:23:26.910 --> 00:23:29.650
that's basically yeah his chosen family his chosen

00:23:29.650 --> 00:23:33.789
family you know so i don't know i gotta do it

00:23:33.789 --> 00:23:36.130
from my way hopefully they both win their fights

00:23:36.130 --> 00:23:37.829
and they could fight each other that would be

00:23:37.829 --> 00:23:42.309
the most optimal decision but i don't know we'll

00:23:42.309 --> 00:23:46.970
see uh sufa is going to be involved with the

00:23:46.970 --> 00:23:52.980
fury aj if it happens yeah i mean I don't know

00:23:52.980 --> 00:23:55.240
why I got flack for saying that Ryan Garcia and

00:23:55.240 --> 00:24:00.440
Devin Haney would be the perfect Zufa card. Where

00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:07.660
AJ and fucking Fury, same thing. But, I don't

00:24:07.660 --> 00:24:09.819
know. They're both, I mean, but AJ, that one's

00:24:09.819 --> 00:24:14.079
even harder because AJ is an agent of Eddie.

00:24:14.299 --> 00:24:19.180
You know, he's an Eddie guy. And Fury, I think,

00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:22.460
is Fury a free agent now? Is that? I think he's

00:24:22.460 --> 00:24:25.339
still with Kingsbury. I don't know how that's

00:24:25.339 --> 00:24:27.019
just working, but I'll tell you this, that with

00:24:27.019 --> 00:24:28.799
Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney, that shit would

00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:30.920
be a lot easier to make a Zufa card purely because

00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:34.660
they're both free agents. You know? I don't know

00:24:34.660 --> 00:24:38.599
why they wouldn't make a ring card. That would

00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:41.400
easily promote the ring. Fucking... The ring

00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.059
has the money. That's what it is. Yeah. Yeah,

00:24:44.099 --> 00:24:47.519
exactly. Turkey backed. Yeah, yeah. I don't know.

00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:48.839
We'll see what happens with all of that, but

00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:53.119
I don't know. A bunch of weird decisions, I will

00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:57.380
say. Oh, weird decisions. Edwin De Los Santos

00:24:57.380 --> 00:25:03.900
signs with Zufa. That's a decent signing for

00:25:03.900 --> 00:25:06.339
Zufa, I will say. That's a good name for them

00:25:06.339 --> 00:25:12.420
to get. A guy with power, pretty good speed.

00:25:12.900 --> 00:25:15.319
Really good speed, actually. They're probably

00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.519
going to promote the shit out of him and get

00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:22.640
him up there. Maybe even have them fight a Ryo

00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:24.480
rematch. Yeah, that's what I was thinking would

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:26.220
be the direction they would want to take him.

00:25:27.579 --> 00:25:31.140
But for the time being, they got to build up

00:25:31.140 --> 00:25:34.480
a stable before they put two of their better

00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:41.819
guys against each other. Exactly. Make a fucking

00:25:41.819 --> 00:25:47.619
manufactured super fight. A manufactured Zufa

00:25:47.619 --> 00:25:54.480
super fight. Zufa super fight. What a phrase.

00:25:55.880 --> 00:26:09.920
Speaking of Zufa, they tried to snipe Bam. Matchroom

00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:15.799
beat Zufa's offer. And last I heard, Bam was

00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:19.970
still... He still has grace period to... shop

00:26:19.970 --> 00:26:23.650
other promoters, but it looks like he's going

00:26:23.650 --> 00:26:27.609
back to Matchroom. Yeah. That's a very good decision.

00:26:27.849 --> 00:26:30.630
Yeah, very good move. You're either going to

00:26:30.630 --> 00:26:33.450
be stuck on Zufa, or you have the option to go

00:26:33.450 --> 00:26:35.609
to all these other promotional companies freely.

00:26:37.150 --> 00:26:40.690
Under Matchroom, you can fight anybody. Pretty

00:26:40.690 --> 00:26:47.869
much. I think Eddie said... The undisputed fight

00:26:47.869 --> 00:26:53.309
is their number one priority. Yeah, they said

00:26:53.309 --> 00:26:56.569
that's happening this year. Belief. Yeah. Belief

00:26:56.569 --> 00:26:59.990
believes it. Yeah. I know. I know. I believe

00:26:59.990 --> 00:27:02.170
it. Come on. That's that's going to happen. The

00:27:02.170 --> 00:27:04.690
guy that has that title. Willie Baldo. I mean,

00:27:04.710 --> 00:27:08.609
yeah, Willie Baldo. I think that. I don't think

00:27:08.609 --> 00:27:11.470
there's that type of guy that would hold that

00:27:11.470 --> 00:27:13.549
shit hostage. He's not backed by any major promoter.

00:27:15.350 --> 00:27:17.390
It's at least like how Amos Barra went into unification

00:27:17.390 --> 00:27:20.609
with Xander Zayas type of situation. I mean...

00:27:20.609 --> 00:27:26.150
Exactly. And you get your name out there, you

00:27:26.150 --> 00:27:30.890
could even win. You know? So, it'll be a good

00:27:30.890 --> 00:27:34.849
fight too. It's a Mexican. Mexican guy. Actually,

00:27:34.869 --> 00:27:37.009
I don't know. I see a BAM domination, but we'll

00:27:37.009 --> 00:27:41.690
go back to that when it happens. I think he fought

00:27:41.690 --> 00:27:51.809
Ayoka. Is it Ioka or Taraji? I'm not seeing anybody

00:27:51.809 --> 00:27:57.970
on his... Or no, I think he was supposed to fight

00:27:57.970 --> 00:28:00.730
them. Supposed to fight Kenshiro Taraji, I believe

00:28:00.730 --> 00:28:02.490
it was. Yeah, Taraji. He was supposed to fight

00:28:02.490 --> 00:28:07.549
Taraji. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. I bam

00:28:07.549 --> 00:28:11.630
in a unification, undisputed. Boom. Your name

00:28:11.630 --> 00:28:15.309
gets out there. You know, you lose to one of

00:28:15.309 --> 00:28:18.910
the greatest talents of this generation. No shame

00:28:18.910 --> 00:28:21.990
there. No shame there. Well, I'm speaking too

00:28:21.990 --> 00:28:25.250
quick. Because obviously, Luis Baldo has his

00:28:25.250 --> 00:28:29.269
chance, but I miss Bam. I love Bam. I can't talk

00:28:29.269 --> 00:28:34.650
ill. I'll give that guy a chance, though. 23

00:28:34.650 --> 00:28:38.730
wins, 13 knockouts. So, Puncher's chance is pretty

00:28:38.730 --> 00:28:44.799
low. And Bam does have a chin. But, yeah, we'll

00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:49.440
see what they do once the BAM promotional situation

00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:57.000
is fully settled. Christian Mbili is the WBC

00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:00.920
super middleweight champion, elevated from interim.

00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:05.259
According to WBC, they still want to do the Lester

00:29:05.259 --> 00:29:12.210
Martinez rematch. But, yeah, I think... I don't

00:29:12.210 --> 00:29:15.849
remember who I was talking to, but it was him

00:29:15.849 --> 00:29:20.710
being elevated. I don't know. I don't know if

00:29:20.710 --> 00:29:24.829
he's, if he really does rate being the full title

00:29:24.829 --> 00:29:28.329
list right now, because the Lester Martinez draw,

00:29:28.529 --> 00:29:32.769
I think really hangs heavily on it. So to have

00:29:32.769 --> 00:29:35.950
that be his first defense, I guess is fitting,

00:29:36.089 --> 00:29:41.160
but. My ears got perked up. When I heard that,

00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:45.039
and honestly, from the rumors I'm hearing, it

00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:47.259
makes total sense why he got elevated to the

00:29:47.259 --> 00:29:52.359
WCVC champ. Total sense. Because I've been hearing,

00:29:52.619 --> 00:29:54.480
I don't know if this is on the news for next

00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:58.579
week, that Canelo is going to be fighting him

00:29:58.579 --> 00:30:03.220
in September. So they want to position Nbili

00:30:03.220 --> 00:30:07.359
to have something worth fighting for? Exactly.

00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:12.170
Have something worth fighting for and... well,

00:30:12.170 --> 00:30:14.490
potentially lose it to Canelo. That's their plan

00:30:14.490 --> 00:30:17.490
because they see Canelo as the money guy. As

00:30:17.490 --> 00:30:21.589
far as I can expect, he still is. Well, yeah.

00:30:21.789 --> 00:30:24.410
He's still the money guy, but at the same time,

00:30:24.490 --> 00:30:27.150
I don't know. Do I see Canelo knocking him out?

00:30:27.269 --> 00:30:29.910
Do I see ferocious Canelo that was in the past?

00:30:30.329 --> 00:30:32.789
No. I don't know if he's going to come back.

00:30:34.750 --> 00:30:38.650
But if he does come back, then he might just

00:30:38.650 --> 00:30:41.500
be minting Billy. Mbili is pretty one -dimensional,

00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.359
so it would... For a style like Canelo's, even

00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.700
with him slowing down considerably, I think he

00:30:48.700 --> 00:30:55.200
could still manage the one gear Mbili. Well,

00:30:55.339 --> 00:31:00.680
I'll tell you this. I agree with you that a Canelo

00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:03.779
that we've seen in the past typically would beat

00:31:03.779 --> 00:31:07.140
Mbili any day of the week. However, again, this

00:31:07.140 --> 00:31:10.849
is Canelo after his... Third loss? Third. And

00:31:10.849 --> 00:31:14.369
he didn't take that second loss easily. That

00:31:14.369 --> 00:31:17.029
second loss is how it led up to that third loss.

00:31:18.250 --> 00:31:22.750
You know? Oh, absolutely. So, isn't Billy a mover

00:31:22.750 --> 00:31:25.490
like Bivol or Crawford? No. Is he going to knock

00:31:25.490 --> 00:31:28.710
out Canelo? Probably not. But can Canelo be chicken

00:31:28.710 --> 00:31:32.490
shit? Could be. I mean, you never know. I mean,

00:31:32.509 --> 00:31:34.630
again, the Mayweather loss is different because

00:31:34.630 --> 00:31:37.299
that was the beginning of his career. And, again,

00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:39.839
it's against the fucking one of the greatest

00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:42.440
of all time. Yeah, you might not be yourself

00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:45.920
as much as losing to someone like Bivol or Terrence

00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:50.839
Crawford, you know, which, again, Canelo being

00:31:50.839 --> 00:31:54.039
legendary in and of himself, you know, I got

00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:58.279
to salute him. I know this, our community sometimes

00:31:58.279 --> 00:32:00.259
likes to hate Canelo, but he is a legend, no

00:32:00.259 --> 00:32:02.920
doubt about it. Can he beat Billy? I don't know.

00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:11.200
It just depends on his mindset. Yeah. Speaking

00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:16.420
of super middleweight, it happened really quickly

00:32:16.420 --> 00:32:23.980
where Diego Pacheco pulled out of the WBO vacant

00:32:23.980 --> 00:32:28.599
fight, leaving Hamza Shiraz to face Alim Begich,

00:32:28.779 --> 00:32:36.500
I think it is, in May. Man. Did not expect Diego

00:32:36.500 --> 00:32:40.170
Pacheco to fucking pull out. All I got is one

00:32:40.170 --> 00:32:46.349
word. Who? Who? Like, again, I don't know what

00:32:46.349 --> 00:32:48.490
to expect to get. Floyd Schofield core, low key.

00:32:49.250 --> 00:32:51.670
Hey, no, Floyd Schofield is a name. That was

00:32:51.670 --> 00:32:54.690
ridiculous. Floyd Schofield is somewhat a name.

00:32:56.490 --> 00:32:59.630
I'm saying the pulling out. Oh, pulling out.

00:33:00.650 --> 00:33:02.609
Yeah, that is ridiculous. I don't know why the

00:33:02.609 --> 00:33:05.609
fuck. Actually, I do know why. It's chicken shit.

00:33:06.269 --> 00:33:09.809
Yeah. Unless there's a health reason, there's

00:33:09.809 --> 00:33:12.869
no reason to pull out of a fight that you already

00:33:12.869 --> 00:33:18.029
signed. Yeah, you already signed and have said

00:33:18.029 --> 00:33:21.329
in the past that you're ready for. Obviously,

00:33:21.349 --> 00:33:23.150
you're not ready. Yeah, you've been talking about

00:33:23.150 --> 00:33:28.809
going for a world title for some time. Again,

00:33:29.109 --> 00:33:32.630
if you don't want to fight, that's alright. Again,

00:33:33.369 --> 00:33:35.269
I know we kind of look down upon ducking, but

00:33:35.269 --> 00:33:37.170
again... At the end of the day, these guys are

00:33:37.170 --> 00:33:41.670
risking their lives. But again, you're still

00:33:41.670 --> 00:33:48.670
shaking shit no matter what. Yeah. And lastly,

00:33:48.910 --> 00:33:53.329
before we get on to the fucking recaps, man,

00:33:53.509 --> 00:33:58.390
things are fucking dire at Golden Boy Promotions.

00:33:59.809 --> 00:34:06.990
First thing, the... 626 Wilshire Boulevard in

00:34:06.990 --> 00:34:10.449
downtown LA. This is a Golden Boy Promotions

00:34:10.449 --> 00:34:16.429
headquarters. It is owned by Oscar De La Hoya

00:34:16.429 --> 00:34:21.710
and a partner. The original loan was $27 million.

00:34:21.929 --> 00:34:27.389
They still owes about $23. The building is currently

00:34:27.389 --> 00:34:34.300
34 .4 % vacant with... Golden Boy occupying 7%.

00:34:34.300 --> 00:34:38.619
So they're apparently not making enough on rent.

00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:43.739
And the building has lost value from 2015. It

00:34:43.739 --> 00:34:48.260
was appraised at $40 million to 2025. The valuation

00:34:48.260 --> 00:34:55.579
was $19 million. So yeah, Delahoya is in some

00:34:55.579 --> 00:34:58.900
serious financial trouble. He's on the hook.

00:34:59.059 --> 00:35:03.170
They haven't been paying their mortgage. They

00:35:03.170 --> 00:35:07.250
don't have any fighters. No fighters. No broadcast.

00:35:07.630 --> 00:35:14.309
No broadcast deal. All they got is a multi -year

00:35:14.309 --> 00:35:19.250
deal that they just signed with Swerve TV. Swerve

00:35:19.250 --> 00:35:25.250
TV. What that is, it's similar to Top Rank Classics.

00:35:25.550 --> 00:35:30.960
That's on Tubi and Roku and all that shit. It's

00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:35.260
a similar channel to that, but Golden Boy doesn't

00:35:35.260 --> 00:35:37.860
own this. They just are licensing their content

00:35:37.860 --> 00:35:43.039
on Swerve TV. Might as well just license it on

00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:46.679
fucking YouTube or something else. Anything.

00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:49.579
They should license it on anything, even Tubi.

00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:53.860
At least I know what Tubi is. They're on Tubi.

00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:57.059
Swerve TV is on Tubi? Yeah. Oh, okay. I thought

00:35:57.059 --> 00:36:01.519
it was its own thing. Nah, it's a channel on

00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:07.860
those streaming services. That is dire. Quite.

00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:12.059
That is... Same as Golden... At least TopRank

00:36:12.059 --> 00:36:14.300
has their prospects. And at least TopRank has

00:36:14.300 --> 00:36:19.099
their champions. Golden Boy, they have Gabby.

00:36:19.820 --> 00:36:22.619
They have Rocket. They have Floyd Schofield.

00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:28.039
Again, these are all decent fighters. But can

00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:30.880
they sell tickets and can they even be in a pay

00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:34.000
-per -view? No. Virgil's going to be gone. Ryan's

00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:37.519
going to be gone. Zerdo's going to be gone. You

00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:43.579
are fucked, Oscar. Oscar's fucked. And the thing

00:36:43.579 --> 00:36:46.940
is, it's sad because only, what, 15 years ago?

00:36:48.619 --> 00:36:52.539
20 years ago? Yeah. Almost 20 years ago, at least.

00:36:52.980 --> 00:36:58.449
Golden Boy was a monster. Until half their stable

00:36:58.449 --> 00:37:02.630
left. They were a monster. They were forced to

00:37:02.630 --> 00:37:06.190
be reckoned with. Yeah, that was where it was

00:37:06.190 --> 00:37:11.469
allegedly Richard Schaefer and Al Heyman allegedly

00:37:11.469 --> 00:37:16.809
stole all of his stable when he was just on coke

00:37:16.809 --> 00:37:21.949
binges all the time. He didn't know how they

00:37:21.949 --> 00:37:25.170
were doing. Every fighter was on a fight by fight.

00:37:25.710 --> 00:37:32.710
uh promotional basis and yeah so that's that's

00:37:32.710 --> 00:37:35.909
where he lost it well that was the beginning

00:37:35.909 --> 00:37:37.829
of the infirm if you think about it yeah yeah

00:37:37.829 --> 00:37:41.090
i think so he should have taken that i think

00:37:41.090 --> 00:37:43.630
they offered him like 100 million to buy out

00:37:43.630 --> 00:37:46.349
golden boy it probably would have been happy

00:37:46.349 --> 00:37:48.809
sipping sipping tea in the fucking caribbean

00:37:48.809 --> 00:37:52.449
all the coke you can handle oh yeah all the coke

00:37:52.449 --> 00:37:55.710
you can handle fucking Maybe not with Epstein,

00:37:55.809 --> 00:38:00.849
you know. If I can just chill. Poor Oscar. Poor,

00:38:00.849 --> 00:38:03.570
poor Oscar. I mean, again, it's sad because it's

00:38:03.570 --> 00:38:07.889
another behemoth that dying out, you know. I

00:38:07.889 --> 00:38:12.210
thought Top Rank was bad, but Golden Boy is fucked.

00:38:13.610 --> 00:38:16.170
Yeah, at least Top Rank is getting their guys'

00:38:16.309 --> 00:38:20.929
fights. Yeah, on a PBC card or Matchroom. Or

00:38:20.929 --> 00:38:23.760
whoever, it doesn't really matter. I mean, yeah,

00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:27.420
anywhere, but fucking Goldenboy, they can't let

00:38:27.420 --> 00:38:29.099
their stable out because their stable's too young.

00:38:30.780 --> 00:38:35.579
You know? Or the fucking... You have Oscar Coyas.

00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:38.820
I forgot to mention him. Great fighter, but again,

00:38:38.900 --> 00:38:40.579
he's at a weight class that unfortunately not

00:38:40.579 --> 00:38:46.480
many people pay attention to. I mean, I'll fucking...

00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:50.760
I'll respect the time that Goldenboy was around,

00:38:50.860 --> 00:38:54.070
but Jesus Christ, that's... It's dire, Oscar.

00:38:55.269 --> 00:39:04.130
It's dire. Yep. So that is the latest. Let me

00:39:04.130 --> 00:39:07.510
put some notes in here. Let's see. Social media

00:39:07.510 --> 00:39:12.050

Review, and you'll get those. Dandruff doesn't

00:39:34.710 --> 00:39:37.130
just affect your hair, it chips away at your

00:39:37.130 --> 00:39:39.630
confidence. But I'm here to tell you, it doesn't

00:39:39.630 --> 00:39:41.889
have to be this way. It's time to say bye to

00:39:41.889 --> 00:39:45.050
flakes with flakes. Flakes isn't a scented wash

00:39:45.050 --> 00:39:47.090
you get from the grocery store that just masks

00:39:47.090 --> 00:39:50.219
the problem. It's a powerful, medically formulated

00:39:50.219 --> 00:39:52.679

00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:56.019
toughest dandruff. Flakes works fast to control

00:39:56.019 --> 00:39:58.820

00:39:58.820 --> 00:40:01.280
redness that's on your scalp. And here's another

00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:03.940

00:40:03.940 --> 00:40:07.340
beard gruff if you have that too. Imagine feeling

00:40:07.340 --> 00:40:09.780
completely free to wear whatever you want, whenever

00:40:09.780 --> 00:40:12.679
you want to. Imagine just focusing on your day

00:40:12.679 --> 00:40:15.300
and not on your scalp. That's the difference

00:40:15.300 --> 00:40:19.269
that Flakes makes. Go to lvx .be slash flakes

00:41:39.619 --> 00:41:45.880
recap time. Yay. Let's... This is a hell of a

00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:49.519
weekend. So, we're starting Friday, January 30th.

00:41:49.659 --> 00:41:54.980
ProBox TV was at the Live Casino and Hotel in

00:41:54.980 --> 00:41:59.880
Maryland. There were great stoppages, as you

00:41:59.880 --> 00:42:03.519
would expect from a ProBox card. I did notice

00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:05.699
this one was a little bit more decision -heavy

00:42:05.699 --> 00:42:08.820
than we're used to getting. So I think it was

00:42:08.820 --> 00:42:12.300
more of us being spoiled as fans. We have been

00:42:12.300 --> 00:42:17.579
spoiled as fans. This is more what it is expected

00:42:17.579 --> 00:42:23.679
to be, I guess. One prospect that stood out to

00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:29.800
me, Jordan Roach. He got a UD over Juan Ginastroza.

00:42:30.760 --> 00:42:34.639
And he beat him pretty soundly throughout all

00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:39.760
six rounds. I just wanted to point out Jordan

00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:48.239
because he looked good. I was impressed. In the

00:42:48.239 --> 00:42:53.599
co -main, Rene Palacios beats Suleiman Segawa.

00:42:54.980 --> 00:43:04.119
Man, the people's champ takes the L. And Brian

00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:08.489
Flores, majority decision. Over Starling Castillo.

00:43:09.610 --> 00:43:18.610
Love that name. My darling Starling. Alright.

00:43:19.250 --> 00:43:24.750
Let's continue. Saturday, January 31st. First

00:43:24.750 --> 00:43:30.610
thing. Primetime. On DAZN. In Kolding, Denmark.

00:43:31.809 --> 00:43:36.519
Who are all of these people? Good question. I

00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:39.599
only got two that I paid attention to. Dina Torslund,

00:43:39.739 --> 00:43:43.719
UD over... Got to say, get a UD win. Like, who

00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:47.400
it was doesn't really matter. WBC featherweight

00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:55.159
title. So, congrats to Dina. And, oh, Jakub Bank

00:43:55.159 --> 00:44:01.159
stops William Skoll in the closing seconds of

00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:05.739
the fucking 12th. Was... Beautiful. I thought

00:44:05.739 --> 00:44:08.400
the stoppage was a little premature. I thought

00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:11.619
William Scull could have continued. Yeah, maybe.

00:44:12.739 --> 00:44:16.659
He was going to lose. Are you a QB and winning

00:44:16.659 --> 00:44:24.079
a title on Ape Day? On Ape Day? Ape Day was a

00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:29.639
fantastic fucking day. Great fucking day. It

00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:33.409
was a great day. And to see Williams School get

00:44:33.409 --> 00:44:37.110
knocked out, it was funny. It was a good appetizer.

00:44:37.170 --> 00:44:42.050
But, I mean, I'm more thinking not about the

00:44:42.050 --> 00:44:47.409
fact of Yacoub Bank, but more the fact of how

00:44:47.409 --> 00:44:51.789
did Canelo not get him out? How did someone like

00:44:51.789 --> 00:44:56.469
Yacoub? We just talked about it. I know we like

00:44:56.469 --> 00:45:00.320
to hate on Canelo and then Yacoub. Is here assassinating

00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:03.420
guys. Yeah that's fucking. Yeah that's crazy.

00:45:03.559 --> 00:45:08.119
I think we talked about it before but. We didn't

00:45:08.119 --> 00:45:13.260
know that was going to happen. I think Jacob

00:45:13.260 --> 00:45:16.480
Bank. Jakub Bank. That's how they say it there.

00:45:17.559 --> 00:45:20.420
This was for a secondary title. For the WBO.

00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:24.099
So he's probably going to be. Facing Hamza Shiraz.

00:45:24.559 --> 00:45:27.739
After Shiraz. Does what he's supposed to do.

00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:31.760
Or what we expect him to do. This is the guy

00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:34.619
that fought Canelo. He beat the guy that fought

00:45:34.619 --> 00:45:38.519
Canelo. So he's automatically like... You know.

00:45:38.820 --> 00:45:42.440
Very convincingly. The broadcast made it extremely

00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:47.579
clear that Skull survived Canelo and now Yakub

00:45:47.579 --> 00:45:53.519
Bank gets the stoppage. Yakub Bank beats Humshiraz,

00:45:53.539 --> 00:45:57.719
guys. Come on. Come on. We all know it. Yakub.

00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:03.480
I like that. I like that name. I love that name.

00:46:03.539 --> 00:46:10.079
It's such a fun name to say. Yakubank. Take him

00:46:10.079 --> 00:46:13.760
straight to the bank. Let's roll on. Matchroom

00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:23.400
at the Newcastle Arena in the UK. Not much to

00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:27.119
point out on the undercard, I think. Leo Atang

00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:33.739
got a stoppage in three. That was a nothing opponent,

00:46:34.019 --> 00:46:39.260
but his name is Leo, so I had to mention. You

00:46:39.260 --> 00:46:42.480
had to put him in. Yep. I know you boxed him.

00:46:45.139 --> 00:46:48.639
Secret second life. Only known on the boxing

00:46:48.639 --> 00:46:55.420
team side. Alif Nur Turhan. I think that's how

00:46:55.420 --> 00:46:58.380
they said her name. Split decision over Tayla

00:46:58.380 --> 00:47:02.760
Jensen. To, I think, retain the IBF lightweight

00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:07.539
title. That was a women's fight. Alif looking

00:47:07.539 --> 00:47:13.920
at Caroline Dubois for unification. Honestly,

00:47:13.940 --> 00:47:16.900
the fight wasn't bad, actually. No, Alif's pretty

00:47:16.900 --> 00:47:22.699
solid. I was pleasantly surprised. Yeah. And

00:47:22.699 --> 00:47:25.940
Josh Padley, the People's Electrician, shocks

00:47:25.940 --> 00:47:35.000
Joad Belmedy. Sure. I love that. I fucking love

00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:39.440
that so much. I'm sorry. That was so fucking

00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:41.699
funny. I'm sorry. Whoever's listening, I don't

00:47:41.699 --> 00:47:43.440
care if you guys thought that was weird. I fucking

00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:48.320
love the shock shit. The electrician puns? I

00:47:48.320 --> 00:47:52.940
love that shit. Sure, bro. I guess Josh Padley's

00:47:52.940 --> 00:47:58.280
still around. Top UK prospect, Josh Padley. He

00:47:58.280 --> 00:48:03.179
shocked me, that's for sure. Jesus. I'm surprised

00:48:03.179 --> 00:48:12.320
he didn't spark out Shakur. Yeah. Speaking of

00:48:12.320 --> 00:48:16.820
sparking out. Yeah, speaking of good fights,

00:48:17.019 --> 00:48:23.500
man. Josh Kelly puts an end to the charade. Majority

00:48:23.500 --> 00:48:26.869
decision over Bokram Murtasaliev. claims the

00:48:26.869 --> 00:48:31.730
IBF super welterweight title. Great fight. I

00:48:31.730 --> 00:48:34.750
thought that was really fun. Early fight of the

00:48:34.750 --> 00:48:37.050
year candidate. I would throw it in the conversation.

00:48:38.769 --> 00:48:43.929
100%. That was a shocking fight. I mean, I'm

00:48:43.929 --> 00:48:45.429
not even trying to make a pun anymore. I'm serious.

00:48:45.510 --> 00:48:50.610
That was... I was speechless when Josh Kelly

00:48:50.610 --> 00:48:55.230
knocked down Murtazilov. The boogeyman is a boogeyman

00:48:55.230 --> 00:48:58.480
no more. Him looking that rusty and terrible

00:48:58.480 --> 00:49:03.900
is just... Oh, my God. And I don't want to shoot

00:49:03.900 --> 00:49:06.980
too my own horn here, but I've had a pretty good

00:49:06.980 --> 00:49:11.159
year with calling the Brit stuff. Until next

00:49:11.159 --> 00:49:15.760
week. Until next week. Until next week. This

00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:18.920
week, this specific week, is like the last, the

00:49:18.920 --> 00:49:20.579
end of the British year. You can gloat right

00:49:20.579 --> 00:49:23.599
now. Yeah, I'm going to gloat right now. That

00:49:23.599 --> 00:49:27.179
was... I kind of... Josh Kelly won based on the

00:49:27.179 --> 00:49:31.300
fact that he rode on the British wave. They got

00:49:31.300 --> 00:49:34.500
that British Armada coming up. Loki won on the

00:49:34.500 --> 00:49:38.039
10 -10 British scoring, too, which is actually

00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:41.340
hilarious. That's pretty nutty, too. You should

00:49:41.340 --> 00:49:44.460
have me buying when you look at how it's scored.

00:49:44.860 --> 00:49:50.019
Steve Gray did it. Oh, yeah. Steve Gray 10 -10.

00:49:51.309 --> 00:49:55.010
giving a Brit a world title is, like, I can't

00:49:55.010 --> 00:49:58.369
even be mad. It's so funny. Steve Gray, classic,

00:49:58.510 --> 00:50:00.690
I'll tell you that. Classic, dude. Classic Steve

00:50:00.690 --> 00:50:02.750
Gray. 10 -10 to give a Brit a world title. The

00:50:02.750 --> 00:50:05.869
12th round, he gave a 10 -10. Yeah, like, what

00:50:05.869 --> 00:50:10.150
are the clearest rounds? God damn you, Steve.

00:50:10.949 --> 00:50:13.289
Literally, like, the clearest round outside of

00:50:13.289 --> 00:50:15.769
the knockdown rounds, and you give it a 10 -10.

00:50:15.869 --> 00:50:19.880
I'm crying, bro. Hey, you know what? I gotta

00:50:19.880 --> 00:50:22.960
give it to Josh Kelly. We were all talking shit,

00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:24.940
making fun of him. I gotta give it to him. He

00:50:24.940 --> 00:50:27.360
put up a damn good fight against Murda Zaylov.

00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:30.619
He got off the canvas, finished the fight, and

00:50:30.619 --> 00:50:32.800
in that 12th round, it got a tremendous gif of

00:50:32.800 --> 00:50:36.000
that. Of that beating that Murda Zaylov did.

00:50:36.239 --> 00:50:38.639
He gave it a go and they rewarded him for it.

00:50:38.719 --> 00:50:42.059
That's so funny. Oh, yeah. I mean, shit. That

00:50:42.059 --> 00:50:45.139
was a fucking... Go on, my son. Go on, my son.

00:50:45.300 --> 00:50:48.820
I hope he makes his money. Go on, my God. Go

00:50:48.820 --> 00:50:53.039
on, Kelly. Because I was, I mean, I was pleasantly

00:50:53.039 --> 00:50:55.820
surprised. And I'm wishing him the best. Because

00:50:55.820 --> 00:50:58.840
I like seeing shit like this happen. The underdog

00:50:58.840 --> 00:51:02.699
beats the boogeyman. I was definitely not expecting

00:51:02.699 --> 00:51:05.159
Josh Kelly to pull this one out. As close as

00:51:05.159 --> 00:51:09.900
it was, like, yeah, it makes sense. Murtazaliev

00:51:09.900 --> 00:51:13.360
is petitioning for the immediate rematch. I hope

00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:16.599
the IBF turns him down because I really don't

00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:21.340
want to see him fight anymore. I wouldn't mind

00:51:21.340 --> 00:51:23.099
seeing a rematch, but I feel like the rematch

00:51:23.099 --> 00:51:25.679
is going to be... The rematch is going to be

00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:32.760
Murda Zayli of showing up less rusty and not...

00:51:32.760 --> 00:51:36.599
I'm not even going to say it's not like he's

00:51:36.599 --> 00:51:42.760
all that. It's more... Jesus, his sense of range

00:51:42.760 --> 00:51:51.780
was just so off for that fight. I seriously think

00:51:51.780 --> 00:51:57.639
that if they did a rematch, I still got a feeling

00:51:57.639 --> 00:51:59.239
that Marta Zalov has a better chance of winning

00:51:59.239 --> 00:52:03.099
in a rematch. Because I honestly think that that

00:52:03.099 --> 00:52:04.739
was a mistake on our end that we didn't really

00:52:04.739 --> 00:52:07.500
consider too much was that ring rust. He had

00:52:07.500 --> 00:52:09.500
been out the ring for, yeah, he'd been out the

00:52:09.500 --> 00:52:13.000
ring for... Fucking, what, a year and some change?

00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:16.039
You know? We really should have considered how

00:52:16.039 --> 00:52:18.539
much that could have taken a toll on him. You

00:52:18.539 --> 00:52:20.099
know? I mean, of course, the first six rounds,

00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:24.239
he was looking off. And then after that, he got

00:52:24.239 --> 00:52:27.380
a little better, got a knockdown, a little cheeky

00:52:27.380 --> 00:52:30.119
knockdown, but Jesus Christ, he showed up a little

00:52:30.119 --> 00:52:35.699
too late. You know? Yeah, I think you're right.

00:52:35.820 --> 00:52:40.949
Oh, the conclusion of Brit year. The conclusion

00:52:40.949 --> 00:52:44.730
of British 2026 was at least a fun one. It was

00:52:44.730 --> 00:52:48.809
so short -lived. Yeah, we only made it a month

00:52:48.809 --> 00:52:55.010
of British 2026. Yeah, but they shot that cannonball

00:52:55.010 --> 00:52:58.230
at the fucking ship, the British Armada. I mean,

00:52:58.250 --> 00:53:01.769
come on. It needed to go anyways. But we'll talk

00:53:01.769 --> 00:53:03.949
about it soon. Talk about next week, yes, sir.

00:53:04.170 --> 00:53:07.969
Yeah, we could see if next week is just a hiccup

00:53:07.969 --> 00:53:11.489
versus... We'll see if that trend continues.

00:53:12.090 --> 00:53:15.449
But let's keep rolling here. Top rank on 2B.

00:53:17.710 --> 00:53:21.809
Fucking what do we got here? Juanmita Lopez gets

00:53:21.809 --> 00:53:25.210
a UD in 6. I was surprised he did not get the

00:53:25.210 --> 00:53:29.130
finish. He looked decent. He looked good. He

00:53:29.130 --> 00:53:31.989
did. He looked like his usual self, but I thought

00:53:31.989 --> 00:53:36.650
he had power because he had been bopping dudes.

00:53:39.820 --> 00:53:42.159
Can't stop them all. Maybe he has that late stage

00:53:42.159 --> 00:53:46.039
power. You know. Maybe we'll end up having that.

00:53:46.599 --> 00:53:52.159
Death by a thousand cuts. Giovanni Santillan.

00:53:52.900 --> 00:54:00.659
UD. Other than that. Xander Zayas. Split decision

00:54:00.659 --> 00:54:07.239
over Abbas Sparrow. Fuck. Yeah, they're taking

00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:10.550
the hostage. God damn it. Those belts, like,

00:54:10.610 --> 00:54:13.250
listen, man. Yeah, sure, Zayas is better than

00:54:13.250 --> 00:54:16.570
Abbas, Beru, whatever. It's about the implication

00:54:16.570 --> 00:54:23.909
of a guy whose only options are to be clinging

00:54:23.909 --> 00:54:27.409
on to these two belts for dear life. Yeah, they're

00:54:27.409 --> 00:54:30.570
not going to send Zayas to fight Josh Kelly on

00:54:30.570 --> 00:54:34.949
a matchup show. I don't know. Kelly, at least.

00:54:36.240 --> 00:54:39.139
Yeah, Matchroom. Boots is with Matchroom. Kelly

00:54:39.139 --> 00:54:43.400
basically has, he gets like, he's getting fed

00:54:43.400 --> 00:54:46.019
the boots pretty instantaneously if the Virgil

00:54:46.019 --> 00:54:49.960
fight falls through. I mean, honestly, I think

00:54:49.960 --> 00:54:53.679
that the Zayas fight with Virgil or Boots is

00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:56.199
not going to happen. I agree with you. No, Zayas

00:54:56.199 --> 00:54:58.159
is never going to take that. Zayas' management

00:54:58.159 --> 00:55:01.730
is never letting him take that. Fuck no. But

00:55:01.730 --> 00:55:03.670
you know what? Yeah, bro. How do you feel about

00:55:03.670 --> 00:55:09.349
getting humiliated by literally two of the best

00:55:09.349 --> 00:55:14.769
offensive forces in the sport and career -altering

00:55:14.769 --> 00:55:21.969
beating? I got to say this. Honestly, it might

00:55:21.969 --> 00:55:26.150
be a little controversial, but I'm glad Zayas

00:55:26.150 --> 00:55:31.579
won. I'm glad that we have a young star. on the

00:55:31.579 --> 00:55:33.920
rise. I gotta give him his flowers. He looked

00:55:33.920 --> 00:55:38.599
fucking excellent that fight. But... Beru's no

00:55:38.599 --> 00:55:41.980
scruff, but also, like, he's gonna, like, basically

00:55:41.980 --> 00:55:43.440
the next time we're gonna see him in anything

00:55:43.440 --> 00:55:46.699
meaningful is, like, age 28. Oh, yeah. Yeah,

00:55:46.760 --> 00:55:51.719
this is the end of his time of star power. Beating

00:55:51.719 --> 00:55:56.019
star power. Open shot. I mean, he could fight

00:55:56.019 --> 00:55:58.579
Tim Zhu. He could fight guys that were known.

00:55:59.239 --> 00:56:01.739
He could fight an Erickson Lubin. He can fight

00:56:01.739 --> 00:56:04.920
those guys. And honestly, I would honestly want

00:56:04.920 --> 00:56:07.619
him to fight those guys because he's only 22.

00:56:07.860 --> 00:56:11.559
He's fucking hella young. Super young. I really

00:56:11.559 --> 00:56:15.500
think that he still needs that experience. Granted,

00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:17.699
I will say this, that last night he looked better

00:56:17.699 --> 00:56:20.639
than I've ever seen him before. Fucking amazing.

00:56:21.739 --> 00:56:24.360
And I mean, that kind of reigns true to what

00:56:24.360 --> 00:56:26.480
I said last time about him with his last fight

00:56:26.480 --> 00:56:30.769
with Garcia. I mean, he has only up, and I'm

00:56:30.769 --> 00:56:34.030
excited to see where he goes, which hopefully

00:56:34.030 --> 00:56:37.789
is a Virgil beatdown, because let's go Virgil.

00:56:38.150 --> 00:56:40.610
He's no scrub either. Like, it's just what it

00:56:40.610 --> 00:56:45.429
is. Like, Boots or Virgil is not. Definitely,

00:56:45.710 --> 00:56:48.190
like, his management might maneuver him to the

00:56:48.190 --> 00:56:50.409
loser of Virgil Boots, which is going to be Virgil.

00:56:51.449 --> 00:56:54.949
So, and Virgil's probably going to put a pasting

00:56:54.949 --> 00:56:57.670
on him then, but, you know, we'll have to see.

00:56:58.489 --> 00:57:00.550
We'll never know because Virgil is going to be

00:57:00.550 --> 00:57:04.030
fighting Fandora if that even happens. Virgil's

00:57:04.030 --> 00:57:07.349
not going to fight Boots. There's some news next

00:57:07.349 --> 00:57:12.429
week, I think, about it being allegedly signed

00:57:12.429 --> 00:57:16.429
for April or getting finalized for April. I'm

00:57:16.429 --> 00:57:20.969
going to keep my hope to myself because honestly,

00:57:21.130 --> 00:57:23.130
I've heard that how many times? Yeah, I was going

00:57:23.130 --> 00:57:25.659
to say, Virgil, I... How many times did Virgil

00:57:25.659 --> 00:57:28.179
fail to get into the ring with Stan Jonas? I

00:57:28.179 --> 00:57:31.559
don't know. How many times did Boots turn down

00:57:31.559 --> 00:57:35.780
the offer? I don't know. I don't know. I mean,

00:57:35.820 --> 00:57:38.400
I tend not to trust the guy managed by Golden

00:57:38.400 --> 00:57:42.920
Boy. I also tend not to trust all the people

00:57:42.920 --> 00:57:44.260
that are reporting this shit because you never

00:57:44.260 --> 00:57:47.179
know who's telling the truth. But I will say

00:57:47.179 --> 00:57:51.760
this. Going back to Xander Zayas. If you want

00:57:51.760 --> 00:57:54.659
another belt, you can fight Vendora. In unification,

00:57:54.900 --> 00:57:56.840
you could have already fought him. He didn't

00:57:56.840 --> 00:57:59.920
want to fight you. He dropped his belt. Do I

00:57:59.920 --> 00:58:03.199
think that he wins the fight? I think in about

00:58:03.199 --> 00:58:06.179
a year, maybe two years, he could beat Fandora.

00:58:06.940 --> 00:58:10.420
He could possibly beat other guys in the division.

00:58:10.780 --> 00:58:13.760
He could for sure beat a Boa Chuka that time.

00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:18.199
Beat all the Zufa guys. I'll tell you that right

00:58:18.199 --> 00:58:21.739
now. We'll see what happens with Xander. I'm

00:58:21.739 --> 00:58:23.800
excited to see where he goes from here. And also,

00:58:23.840 --> 00:58:27.699
he's got some star power. He's the last of the

00:58:27.699 --> 00:58:30.400
Mohicans in Puerto Rico. He's the last of the

00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:33.420
Ricans. What do you mean? Edgar Berlanga is the

00:58:33.420 --> 00:58:36.760
biggest name in boxing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey,

00:58:37.460 --> 00:58:40.760
I don't know if this is the right time to say

00:58:40.760 --> 00:58:43.260
it, but Xander Zayas is at the Super Bowl with

00:58:43.260 --> 00:58:47.800
Emiliano Vargas. I mean, come on. That's some

00:58:47.800 --> 00:58:50.119
star power to be seen on a world stage like that

00:58:50.119 --> 00:58:55.139
by, what, 138 million? Could have been 145 million

00:58:55.139 --> 00:58:59.679
if certain people didn't want to tune in, but

00:58:59.679 --> 00:59:01.320
they weren't even going to watch boxing anyways.

00:59:02.199 --> 00:59:04.539
I mean, that's a pretty big stage to be seen

00:59:04.539 --> 00:59:07.619
on. So I'm happy that the young stars of boxing

00:59:07.619 --> 00:59:12.139
are getting the views and the credibility from

00:59:12.139 --> 00:59:15.050
the people. Oh man, let's keep rolling because

00:59:15.050 --> 00:59:19.989
we still got a little bit to go. Ring six. Madison

00:59:19.989 --> 00:59:23.329
Square Garden. Let's see. From the bottom up

00:59:23.329 --> 00:59:25.250
because we had quite a few good fights here.

00:59:26.429 --> 00:59:32.050
Austin Emma Williams stops late replacement Wendy

00:59:32.050 --> 00:59:36.670
Toussaint. Or no, UD. He was supposed to stop

00:59:36.670 --> 00:59:40.150
him. He had him troubled and he didn't manage

00:59:40.150 --> 00:59:45.289
to do it. Yeah. God damn it, Ammo. What the hell?

00:59:47.610 --> 00:59:49.750
I would have had... I think Carlos Adamas would

00:59:49.750 --> 00:59:52.690
have beat him. Yeah, looking like that, fucking

00:59:52.690 --> 00:59:57.670
Adamas would have taken that easy. Let's see.

00:59:57.829 --> 01:00:02.489
Kevin Castillo spoils the party. Where does Castillo...

01:00:02.489 --> 01:00:05.630
Where can I send him flowers? Because beating

01:00:05.630 --> 01:00:11.190
Ziad Almayouf on a Saudi card, just fucking pinched

01:00:11.190 --> 01:00:19.559
fingers. too good. Um, Gerald Miller. Say that

01:00:19.559 --> 01:00:24.699
again? Sorry. Who? He said Ziad Amayouf? Yes,

01:00:24.800 --> 01:00:31.500
the Saudi plant. The Saudi plant, we don't. He

01:00:31.500 --> 01:00:35.460
got fucking rumbled. He got smoked, which is...

01:00:35.460 --> 01:00:37.920
Oh, no, I'm thinking of the other guy. I'm thinking

01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:42.210
of the other guy that we like. We like. Not like,

01:00:42.250 --> 01:00:44.269
but we can, well, we like. Well, actually, I

01:00:44.269 --> 01:00:47.769
like him. The guy on the Canelo card. I was like,

01:00:47.809 --> 01:00:50.269
that wasn't, I was mixing up my guys. Saudi plant

01:00:50.269 --> 01:00:53.050
cooked, by the way. Yeah, Saudi plant cooked.

01:00:53.210 --> 01:00:58.530
Let's go. Gerald Miller. Split decision over

01:00:58.530 --> 01:01:03.269
Kingsley eBay. Kingsley eBay split his hairs.

01:01:03.489 --> 01:01:07.829
Yeah. Is this the most, this is one of the most

01:01:07.829 --> 01:01:12.340
iconic moments that I've witnessed. The entire

01:01:12.340 --> 01:01:15.340
time I've been watching this sport. Which is

01:01:15.340 --> 01:01:19.260
like most of my life. Yeah, you've seen fucking...

01:01:19.260 --> 01:01:23.239
What was your first fight you've seen? Like one

01:01:23.239 --> 01:01:25.559
of the first fights that you've ever seen. Live.

01:01:26.539 --> 01:01:33.340
Live? Yeah. Like in person? Not in person, but

01:01:33.340 --> 01:01:38.039
like live on TV. Oh, like on TV. Man, I saw the

01:01:38.039 --> 01:01:45.480
ear bite. Mike Tyson? Yeah. I just got to see

01:01:45.480 --> 01:01:48.900
Mike Tyson fight Evander Holyfield's ear. This

01:01:48.900 --> 01:01:52.019
shit might trump it. Watched a lot of Chavez

01:01:52.019 --> 01:02:01.239
fights. Yeah. The Chavez versus De La Hoya. The

01:02:01.239 --> 01:02:06.699
house divided. All the women on Oscars supporting

01:02:06.699 --> 01:02:13.250
Oscar. All the men supporting Chavez. But this,

01:02:13.349 --> 01:02:20.170
I guess for non -fighting stuff, this is up there

01:02:20.170 --> 01:02:26.369
with the ear bite. That's just so funny. They

01:02:26.369 --> 01:02:30.269
were passing the fucking wig around so that everyone

01:02:30.269 --> 01:02:34.010
could take a picture with it. It just, oh my

01:02:34.010 --> 01:02:38.969
god. The way his skin was so raw under the toupee.

01:02:40.779 --> 01:02:43.639
Like, it really did look like he got scalped.

01:02:45.179 --> 01:02:51.239
Like, by the king. Fucking scalped, bro. No one

01:02:51.239 --> 01:02:53.199
even cares that he won, dude. Like, that's...

01:02:53.199 --> 01:02:57.760
That's gotta be the most embarrassing shit. Everybody

01:02:57.760 --> 01:03:01.059
in the arena was laughing at him. And it's funny,

01:03:01.139 --> 01:03:03.639
because that's probably the... I saw people that

01:03:03.639 --> 01:03:06.679
didn't even watch boxing talking about it. Oh,

01:03:06.739 --> 01:03:08.480
did you see that? You saw that boxer lose his

01:03:08.480 --> 01:03:11.670
hair last night? Yeah. He's like, that's funny

01:03:11.670 --> 01:03:14.750
as hell. Fucking people that don't even cover

01:03:14.750 --> 01:03:17.230
boxing were covering it. No, I know. I saw Hater

01:03:17.230 --> 01:03:21.590
Central, which is like a basketball one. Can't

01:03:21.590 --> 01:03:24.630
cover this shit. I mean, hey, whatever brings

01:03:24.630 --> 01:03:27.409
guys into the sport, fuck it. I got to give it

01:03:27.409 --> 01:03:28.630
to Gerald Miller. He made this sport popular

01:03:28.630 --> 01:03:31.570
again for a long time. Especially when it's funny

01:03:31.570 --> 01:03:35.309
and not like an abominable crime, you know? Like

01:03:35.309 --> 01:03:38.489
ear biting? Yeah. No, the ear biting was funny

01:03:38.489 --> 01:03:44.949
as fuck, too. I'm talking about all of Tank's

01:03:44.949 --> 01:03:53.329
shenanigans. But yeah, otherwise the fight was

01:03:53.329 --> 01:03:56.969
pretty underwhelming. Not a whole lot going on,

01:03:57.030 --> 01:04:03.230
just two big dumpy heavyweights. Oh man, Bruce

01:04:03.230 --> 01:04:07.289
Carrington claims the vacant WBC featherweight

01:04:07.289 --> 01:04:11.239
title. knocking out carlos castro in the ninth

01:04:11.239 --> 01:04:14.659
that was a good that was a good knockout it was

01:04:14.659 --> 01:04:18.480
that knockout of the year contender already well

01:04:18.480 --> 01:04:26.760
until next week until next week yes uh i still

01:04:26.760 --> 01:04:30.780
even though the knockout was really good i can't

01:04:30.780 --> 01:04:33.659
help but notice how much bruce carrington was

01:04:33.659 --> 01:04:37.599
struggling with carlos castro Castro buzzed him

01:04:37.599 --> 01:04:43.800
multiple times, and I don't know. I don't know

01:04:43.800 --> 01:04:46.199
if Castro was a few years younger, and his chin

01:04:46.199 --> 01:04:51.320
wasn't as cracked as it is. Going to war with

01:04:51.320 --> 01:04:57.460
Neary and B -Fig and Fulton, all in pretty tight

01:04:57.460 --> 01:05:01.639
succession over the past three years. Only to

01:05:01.639 --> 01:05:05.280
get knocked out by Shushu. Yeah. I got to give

01:05:05.280 --> 01:05:07.199
it to Shushu, though, that he put on a performance

01:05:07.199 --> 01:05:11.280
that he definitely needed. The PR surrounding

01:05:11.280 --> 01:05:15.179
him from up until now was he is pillow -fisted.

01:05:16.019 --> 01:05:22.239
He's good offensively. He is not so gifted defensively.

01:05:22.980 --> 01:05:25.960
But this fight showed me that he has heart. Again,

01:05:26.340 --> 01:05:32.860
he has great enough skill. as an offensive fighter,

01:05:32.940 --> 01:05:35.760
but defense, he's got to work on that, man. You

01:05:35.760 --> 01:05:37.300
should not be going to war with guys like Carlos

01:05:37.300 --> 01:05:41.119
Castro. That's what makes me think people saying,

01:05:41.239 --> 01:05:45.019
like, Carrington, Inouye gets beat by Carrington.

01:05:45.400 --> 01:05:48.739
Like, I don't know. Did you see Carlos Castro

01:05:48.739 --> 01:05:52.440
tagging him? If Inouye puts hands on him, Carrington's

01:05:52.440 --> 01:05:55.940
going to go to sleep. Oh, yeah. And Inouye's

01:05:55.940 --> 01:05:59.099
much sharper than Carlos Castro. Again, it's

01:05:59.099 --> 01:06:01.610
a great knockout. Over a guy that's never been

01:06:01.610 --> 01:06:03.469
beat by a knockout. Never been knocked out in

01:06:03.469 --> 01:06:06.289
his career. And to get knocked out like that.

01:06:06.329 --> 01:06:09.190
By someone pillow fisted. I don't know. Again.

01:06:09.949 --> 01:06:13.010
Carlos Castro. I'm happy that you got the win.

01:06:13.449 --> 01:06:15.730
I'm excited. I'm looking forward to your next

01:06:15.730 --> 01:06:18.730
fight. See how you move as a champion. You could

01:06:18.730 --> 01:06:22.309
improve. And I hope you improve. I wish him the

01:06:22.309 --> 01:06:25.349
best. I give him all his flowers. But please.

01:06:25.449 --> 01:06:27.590
Please put your hands up. When you fight an opponent.

01:06:28.289 --> 01:06:32.340
Move. Move back. Move side to side. You know.

01:06:33.059 --> 01:06:39.619
Don't mong out. Castro dropped Fulton. Losing

01:06:39.619 --> 01:06:43.579
a split decision. He was dropped by Brandon Figueroa.

01:06:43.820 --> 01:06:48.320
Stopped in the sixth. He was down in round one.

01:06:48.920 --> 01:06:54.579
And lost a split decision to Neri. I thought

01:06:54.579 --> 01:06:56.340
he lost. I thought he beat. He did not beat.

01:06:56.420 --> 01:06:58.260
But I thought he went to split decision with.

01:06:59.329 --> 01:07:01.710
I thought so too. I just wanted to check to be

01:07:01.710 --> 01:07:05.769
sure. But yeah, he'd been down against Neary

01:07:05.769 --> 01:07:14.269
and Fig, but he got back up to fight. Still,

01:07:16.250 --> 01:07:20.989
good win for Carrington. I hope with everything

01:07:20.989 --> 01:07:23.429
you were saying, Saul, I really hope this is

01:07:23.429 --> 01:07:27.250
a wake -up call for Bruce. Dude, you can't be

01:07:27.250 --> 01:07:32.289
letting these Dudes tag you up like that. One

01:07:32.289 --> 01:07:34.710
of these days, you're going to pick the wrong

01:07:34.710 --> 01:07:37.170
Mexican, and he's going to fucking chin you.

01:07:39.610 --> 01:07:42.289
I'd be fucking... He's got a whole bunch of options

01:07:42.289 --> 01:07:45.090
in that division now. He's got fucking... I was

01:07:45.090 --> 01:07:49.289
going to say Nick Ball, but... Hey -o. B -Fig.

01:07:49.309 --> 01:07:52.590
He's got B -Fig. He's got Espinoza, which that

01:07:52.590 --> 01:07:55.090
could be an easy fight to make in -house. In

01:07:55.090 --> 01:07:59.119
-house, yeah. Yeah. Or he has Angel Leo. Bantler

01:07:59.119 --> 01:08:00.079
is probably going to be taking up something.

01:08:00.460 --> 01:08:04.099
The pretty nice option would be a fight with

01:08:04.099 --> 01:08:09.880
Espinoza in -house. I think it'd be the first

01:08:09.880 --> 01:08:15.420
time that Featherweight has had a unified champion

01:08:15.420 --> 01:08:21.119
in some time. I can't recall. God knows how long.

01:08:21.279 --> 01:08:28.359
Yeah. It was definitely before Shakur. Probably,

01:08:28.359 --> 01:08:34.880
I don't know. I can't even think of it. But let's

01:08:34.880 --> 01:08:39.260
roll on. Keyshawn Davis stops Jermaine Ortiz

01:08:39.260 --> 01:08:45.159
in 12. Like right at the closing seconds, Thomas

01:08:45.159 --> 01:08:55.119
Taylor bailed him out. I'm struggling to find

01:08:55.119 --> 01:09:00.239
words. for this performance from Keyshawn. I

01:09:00.239 --> 01:09:03.439
don't know how I feel about it. Let me ask you

01:09:03.439 --> 01:09:05.020
this, because I have my opinion about it, and

01:09:05.020 --> 01:09:06.979
I'll give it right now, but do you guys think

01:09:06.979 --> 01:09:09.939
it was a good performance? Do you think it was

01:09:09.939 --> 01:09:15.579
eye -opening? What do you guys think? Underwhelming.

01:09:17.260 --> 01:09:20.479
Underwhelming? A little bit. Interesting. Okay.

01:09:21.399 --> 01:09:24.859
Underwhelming. Frost, what do you think? What

01:09:24.859 --> 01:09:26.659
was the question again? I literally blanked out

01:09:26.659 --> 01:09:30.979
for like two seconds. How do you feel about Keyshawn's

01:09:30.979 --> 01:09:33.979
performance against Jermaine? Oh yeah, underwhelming.

01:09:34.600 --> 01:09:39.659
Just a little bit. You guys think it's underwhelming,

01:09:39.659 --> 01:09:44.199
seriously. Like, if he's just... Keyshawn's ceiling

01:09:44.199 --> 01:09:51.560
is just so high, right? So, so high that like...

01:09:52.520 --> 01:09:56.460
you know, having to pilot onto a guy who notoriously

01:09:56.460 --> 01:10:01.819
loses fights late. Gives good work to, like,

01:10:01.859 --> 01:10:05.079
top -level people, too. Yeah, like, it isn't

01:10:05.079 --> 01:10:08.680
cutting it, really, for, like, separating yourself

01:10:08.680 --> 01:10:14.479
from those top -level people. I humbly disagree

01:10:14.479 --> 01:10:19.300
with you guys. I think that Keyshawn, it was

01:10:19.300 --> 01:10:23.140
a domination by Keyshawn. Complete domination

01:10:23.140 --> 01:10:25.840
over Jermaine Ortiz. I think it showed me that

01:10:25.840 --> 01:10:29.039
he is 100 % special. Teofimo couldn't, and we'll

01:10:29.039 --> 01:10:31.460
talk about it right now, but Teofimo couldn't

01:10:31.460 --> 01:10:35.159
beat him the way that Keyshawn beat him. Same

01:10:35.159 --> 01:10:36.899
thing with Loma. Loma had problems with him.

01:10:37.140 --> 01:10:38.720
Keyshawn dominated him the whole time. Again,

01:10:38.739 --> 01:10:41.779
Styles makes fights, but Keyshawn showed me that

01:10:41.779 --> 01:10:46.239
he can put out with the fucking boxer. And Jermaine

01:10:46.239 --> 01:10:49.199
Ortiz is a decent boxer. He knocked him out in

01:10:49.199 --> 01:10:52.989
the 12th. and showed initiative. He looked great.

01:10:53.090 --> 01:10:55.050
He looked fantastic. Is this me glazing Keyshawn

01:10:55.050 --> 01:10:57.229
because I was a Keyshawn supporter? Yeah, kind

01:10:57.229 --> 01:11:01.590
of. I still am a Keyshawn fan. Not a fan of his

01:11:01.590 --> 01:11:03.449
antics outside the ring, but inside the ring,

01:11:03.489 --> 01:11:07.210
he's a fucking, he's a demon. And I'm glad that

01:11:07.210 --> 01:11:09.510
he showed out against someone like that. You

01:11:09.510 --> 01:11:11.029
guys cannot say that that wasn't a domination.

01:11:12.069 --> 01:11:15.210
I fail to see that Jermaine Ortiz won more than,

01:11:15.229 --> 01:11:19.000
what, three rounds? That would be generous. Three

01:11:19.000 --> 01:11:22.220
would be generous. Yeah. Maybe underwhelming

01:11:22.220 --> 01:11:25.479
is too strong of a word, but... Like, it's just...

01:11:25.479 --> 01:11:28.899
I expect so much of Keyshawn. I expect a lot

01:11:28.899 --> 01:11:32.560
of him. There's no... Like, underwhelming is...

01:11:32.560 --> 01:11:37.560
Like, it seems harsh, but it's not that underwhelming.

01:11:37.560 --> 01:11:39.899
It's just still below what we believe he can

01:11:39.899 --> 01:11:44.279
perform at. I mean, there's a couple caveats

01:11:44.279 --> 01:11:46.279
to this thing. He's been out the ring for a year.

01:11:47.870 --> 01:11:51.850
And, again, this is at a new weight class. Jermaine

01:11:51.850 --> 01:11:54.529
Ortiz is also a little bigger than him in a sense.

01:11:56.130 --> 01:11:59.810
I mean, Jermaine was already used to weight,

01:11:59.949 --> 01:12:04.909
fought guys at 140. And, I mean, he's never been

01:12:04.909 --> 01:12:08.939
knocked down in his career, I believe. Come on.

01:12:08.960 --> 01:12:12.420
I got to give Jermaine Ortiz his flowers too

01:12:12.420 --> 01:12:15.260
because he's a very good contender. There's more

01:12:15.260 --> 01:12:20.079
expectation of Keyshawn than putting down Jermaine

01:12:20.079 --> 01:12:22.720
Ortiz. Well, I got to flip it because I feel

01:12:22.720 --> 01:12:24.819
like to break down Jermaine Ortiz is a feat in

01:12:24.819 --> 01:12:26.699
and of itself because I haven't seen any other

01:12:26.699 --> 01:12:29.000
top fighter do that. But he always loses fights

01:12:29.000 --> 01:12:32.119
late. That's the thing. Yeah, he always loses

01:12:32.119 --> 01:12:35.060
fights late. He throws them away late. He loses

01:12:35.060 --> 01:12:37.739
steam and throws them away late. He lost the

01:12:37.739 --> 01:12:41.239
fight very early as well. And he just held on.

01:12:41.279 --> 01:12:43.420
He had a great chin. He could have broken down

01:12:43.420 --> 01:12:48.220
a bit earlier. Being like a top, top, top prospect.

01:12:48.319 --> 01:12:50.279
Especially because it's not like Ortiz was being

01:12:50.279 --> 01:12:52.560
negative. Like he was there to be taken out.

01:12:54.340 --> 01:12:57.340
I see it as a nomination that Keyshawn did amazing

01:12:57.340 --> 01:13:03.539
work. For being back after a year. I got to see

01:13:03.539 --> 01:13:08.359
after the next fight how he is. Again, the mental

01:13:08.359 --> 01:13:13.460
health aspect, we got to see, too. He's going

01:13:13.460 --> 01:13:16.960
to make it to his next fight without missing

01:13:16.960 --> 01:13:24.020
weight or just throwing babies at people. I can't

01:13:24.020 --> 01:13:26.819
say the mental aspect is something that's considerable,

01:13:27.159 --> 01:13:29.960
considering it's all stuff that he does to himself.

01:13:31.220 --> 01:13:34.699
Yeah. Like assaulting guys in their change rooms

01:13:34.699 --> 01:13:39.279
and blowing weight with BOMAC next to you. Yeah,

01:13:39.300 --> 01:13:42.739
I mean. Is all stuff you do to yourself. Yeah.

01:13:43.939 --> 01:13:46.039
That's what I'm saying. I don't know what's going

01:13:46.039 --> 01:13:50.500
to happen. Yeah. We shall see. I thought it was

01:13:50.500 --> 01:13:53.939
dominant. It was very dominant, just not to the

01:13:53.939 --> 01:14:04.149
potential that he showed. Man, potential on display.

01:14:04.609 --> 01:14:12.409
Shakur Stevenson, 12 O's Teofimo to claim the

01:14:12.409 --> 01:14:21.970
WBO 140 title. What round did Teofimo win? A

01:14:21.970 --> 01:14:29.239
lot of people saw 11 -1. There was a round that

01:14:29.239 --> 01:14:31.460
Shakur took off, I want to say, like, in the

01:14:31.460 --> 01:14:32.720
mid -lates. Yeah, basically the round he took

01:14:32.720 --> 01:14:35.600
off. Yeah. It's the round with all the highlights

01:14:35.600 --> 01:14:38.880
of, like, Teofimo punching, like, arm and, like,

01:14:39.020 --> 01:14:45.819
hip. Yeah. The one with all the highlights. I

01:14:45.819 --> 01:14:47.779
got to say, man, I expected a lot more out of

01:14:47.779 --> 01:14:49.859
Teofimo. This was, it looked like an amateur

01:14:49.859 --> 01:14:55.430
in there. I don't know Teofimo. Ever since he

01:14:55.430 --> 01:14:57.510
got rid of Joey Gamache, he's had the worst corner

01:14:57.510 --> 01:15:02.770
in boxing. There was so many problems with that

01:15:02.770 --> 01:15:05.750
fight with him. He had the wrong game plan. He

01:15:05.750 --> 01:15:10.409
had no plan B, in fact. His corner was fucking

01:15:10.409 --> 01:15:12.350
telling him, what the fuck happened to your power?

01:15:13.409 --> 01:15:15.550
Why the fuck would you say that to your fucking

01:15:15.550 --> 01:15:17.109
fighter mid -fight? That's going to discourage

01:15:17.109 --> 01:15:20.109
his ass. I mean, you'd think it's going to light

01:15:20.109 --> 01:15:22.289
a fire on him. I don't know, but... I mean, come

01:15:22.289 --> 01:15:25.609
on. Not telling him clear instructions. He just

01:15:25.609 --> 01:15:28.409
goes out there and fucking swings at air against

01:15:28.409 --> 01:15:30.829
one of the best defensive fighters in the sport.

01:15:32.189 --> 01:15:34.250
I mean, come on. This is that fucking dumbass

01:15:34.250 --> 01:15:36.510
corner where you... Yeah, Ross has always been

01:15:36.510 --> 01:15:38.149
right about Joey Gamache. He needs to go Joey

01:15:38.149 --> 01:15:40.489
Gamache in his corner. He needs someone new in

01:15:40.489 --> 01:15:43.210
his corner. Get rid of Senior. He's a problem.

01:15:44.170 --> 01:15:47.670
You gotta do better. You gotta do better. Outside

01:15:47.670 --> 01:15:52.260
of... Inside the ring. You know? Outside of that,

01:15:52.340 --> 01:15:54.939
he's got to get people around him that are fucking

01:15:54.939 --> 01:16:01.640
good. You know? I thought I heard a fucking baby

01:16:01.640 --> 01:16:03.119
screaming outside. Scared the shit out of me.

01:16:04.859 --> 01:16:10.880
I think that the day Teofimo gets his father

01:16:10.880 --> 01:16:14.020
out of his corner and gets an actual trainer.

01:16:14.359 --> 01:16:17.560
Sell your house, buy an apartment, and get Joey

01:16:17.560 --> 01:16:20.909
Gamache back in there. Yeah, like he's going

01:16:20.909 --> 01:16:23.109
to have to, I think because of the way Teofimo

01:16:23.109 --> 01:16:27.770
Seniors appears to me to be, he would probably

01:16:27.770 --> 01:16:32.029
lose his father in his life altogether. Bro,

01:16:32.149 --> 01:16:34.949
at this rate with how like, it's going to come

01:16:34.949 --> 01:16:37.069
out like five years after his career that his

01:16:37.069 --> 01:16:42.069
father like stole most of his money. Like, if

01:16:42.069 --> 01:16:46.710
this is how he presents himself publicly, like

01:16:46.710 --> 01:16:50.960
how bad is it behind closed doors? Considering

01:16:50.960 --> 01:16:54.140
he's literally the only guy that Teofimo has

01:16:54.140 --> 01:17:00.520
in his personal life. The guy can't even see

01:17:00.520 --> 01:17:05.779
his kid. He's got no friends. It's only him and

01:17:05.779 --> 01:17:08.500
his dad. How bad is his dad behind closed doors?

01:17:11.199 --> 01:17:14.319
Well, he did say in the post -fight, he was talking

01:17:14.319 --> 01:17:19.949
about he's expecting a new kid. And it sounded

01:17:19.949 --> 01:17:24.210
like he patched things up with his wife and they're

01:17:24.210 --> 01:17:27.289
back together. No more baby Yoda doll then? Yeah,

01:17:27.329 --> 01:17:32.229
I guess not. No, but I'm serious. How nasty is

01:17:32.229 --> 01:17:35.109
his father? We're seeing him in the corner of

01:17:35.109 --> 01:17:38.609
a championship fight. Ask his son, where'd your

01:17:38.609 --> 01:17:41.569
power go? Just fuck him up, bro. You fucking

01:17:41.569 --> 01:17:46.210
suck. Just fuck him up. Post -fight media tour

01:17:46.210 --> 01:17:50.109
being like, my kid fucking sucks. Yeah, my kid

01:17:50.109 --> 01:17:53.350
didn't have a game plan. Bitch, you're his coach.

01:17:53.970 --> 01:17:57.069
Where's your game plan? Like, I'm serious. Are

01:17:57.069 --> 01:17:59.770
you Dexter Namas or whatever? Cut your dad off,

01:17:59.930 --> 01:18:03.890
sell your apartment, rehire Joey Gamache. Because

01:18:03.890 --> 01:18:06.970
clearly, out of anybody he's worked with in his

01:18:06.970 --> 01:18:09.510
entire career, Joey Gamache is the one that brought

01:18:09.510 --> 01:18:11.350
the best out of him. And it was only for two

01:18:11.350 --> 01:18:15.750
fights. And one of them was his star -making

01:18:15.750 --> 01:18:18.350
performance. It was two fights. It was the Richard

01:18:18.350 --> 01:18:22.430
Comey and Lomachenko fights. And both of those,

01:18:22.569 --> 01:18:27.789
he actually looked elite. He had a plan B. And,

01:18:27.850 --> 01:18:30.909
like, you know what? Like, that's... More than

01:18:30.909 --> 01:18:32.609
anything, it looked like he actually wanted the

01:18:32.609 --> 01:18:36.369
B in there. And you know what? I mean, I can't

01:18:36.369 --> 01:18:40.149
say that Teo didn't try. He definitely tried

01:18:40.149 --> 01:18:42.829
in that fight. No, it's just... Everyone around

01:18:42.829 --> 01:18:45.069
him has been failing him for, like, five years

01:18:45.069 --> 01:18:49.890
at this point. You know what? We've been talking

01:18:49.890 --> 01:18:51.949
too much about Teo and his shortcomings. I got

01:18:51.949 --> 01:18:54.930
to give it to Shakur and fucking how beautiful

01:18:54.930 --> 01:18:57.369
all the fighting is. Fucking performance. Oh,

01:18:57.369 --> 01:18:59.090
my goodness. Shakur, what are you going to say?

01:18:59.170 --> 01:19:02.270
Everything literally went right. And he lived

01:19:02.270 --> 01:19:06.649
up to his potential, finally. He's seen his lead

01:19:06.649 --> 01:19:09.109
now. Yeah, finally lived up to his potential

01:19:09.109 --> 01:19:12.970
by fighting someone worth a damn and just dominating

01:19:12.970 --> 01:19:16.510
them straight up. Didn't put on a tracksuit or

01:19:16.510 --> 01:19:19.819
anything. Kind of just dog walked him. He walked

01:19:19.819 --> 01:19:23.399
him down. Shakur was on the front foot most of

01:19:23.399 --> 01:19:25.220
the time. Yeah. That's what I mean. Like, just

01:19:25.220 --> 01:19:28.699
completely dog walked a good, solid opponent.

01:19:28.840 --> 01:19:34.460
No asterisks, no bullshit that you'd expected

01:19:34.460 --> 01:19:38.859
him to put on once he fought someone good. Just

01:19:38.859 --> 01:19:44.159
a very, very good performance. That was the sweet

01:19:44.159 --> 01:19:46.939
science. If they've ever seen it, you know. I

01:19:46.939 --> 01:19:49.859
hope we stay at at least, like, a similar level

01:19:49.859 --> 01:19:53.800
of opponent. Like, we don't drop too. My thing

01:19:53.800 --> 01:19:55.960
is, I don't even know how Ibisheker at this point.

01:19:56.880 --> 01:20:00.319
I mean, I feel like someone like Gary Antoine

01:20:00.319 --> 01:20:03.819
Russell. It's a very specific style. Like, it's

01:20:03.819 --> 01:20:07.380
a very specific, like, pressure, power, and finesse

01:20:07.380 --> 01:20:11.739
that, like, does not exist near him. If you had

01:20:11.739 --> 01:20:14.600
the pressure of Pitbull with the accuracy of

01:20:14.600 --> 01:20:17.960
Tank and the power of Ryan Garcia, you'd maybe

01:20:17.960 --> 01:20:25.279
be Shakur. Like, four to six years ago with a

01:20:25.279 --> 01:20:30.159
bit more finesse. Yeah. And at that point, we're

01:20:30.159 --> 01:20:32.960
just making up fighters. Yeah, we're just splitting

01:20:32.960 --> 01:20:39.930
hairs here. Come on. So, Shakur mentioned Just

01:20:39.930 --> 01:20:43.409
the week before, he was watching his cousin fight

01:20:43.409 --> 01:20:48.130
or whatever, and they asked him if he's going

01:20:48.130 --> 01:20:51.090
to stay at 140 if he wins, and he said, if I

01:20:51.090 --> 01:20:54.310
get big fights or whatever, but I plan to go

01:20:54.310 --> 01:20:59.590
back to 135. WBC stripped him of his 135 title

01:20:59.590 --> 01:21:02.869
because he did not pay a sanctioning fee. The

01:21:02.869 --> 01:21:06.850
fucking belt was not on the line against Teofimo.

01:21:07.340 --> 01:21:09.560
It wasn't even in the same weight class. Why

01:21:09.560 --> 01:21:12.319
does he have to pay a sanctioning fee? For what?

01:21:13.779 --> 01:21:16.100
My question to that is, did Canelo pay a sanctioning

01:21:16.100 --> 01:21:19.220
fee to the WBC when he fought Bivol, or even

01:21:19.220 --> 01:21:22.819
fucking, uh, what the fuck is his name? Uh, fucking,

01:21:22.979 --> 01:21:27.220
uh, the, uh, Kovalev, when he fought at 175.

01:21:27.619 --> 01:21:30.659
Did he have to pay sanctioning fees? No. Yeah,

01:21:30.680 --> 01:21:37.000
let him go up to fight for the WBO belt. without

01:21:37.000 --> 01:21:39.520
a sanctioning fee because he'll come back and

01:21:39.520 --> 01:21:43.380
we'll make money then. If we strip him, then...

01:21:43.380 --> 01:21:48.979
Same shit applies to Shakur Stevenson, though.

01:21:49.100 --> 01:21:55.840
Like, why? Why? This is why Zufa is gonna get

01:21:55.840 --> 01:21:58.899
fucking Steam. I was about to say, yeah, that's

01:21:58.899 --> 01:22:02.800
bullshit. This is how Zufa and entities like

01:22:02.800 --> 01:22:06.829
it pick up Steam. And who the fuck is going to

01:22:06.829 --> 01:22:09.970
get WBC at this point at 135? Who's going to

01:22:09.970 --> 01:22:14.529
get it? Oh, let's see. Let's look. They have

01:22:14.529 --> 01:22:17.630
a beautiful game of Let's Look Up Rankings. Yeah,

01:22:17.670 --> 01:22:20.789
it's my favorite. My favorite game. This edition

01:22:20.789 --> 01:22:24.810
on Let's Look Up Rankings. Who is the WBC number

01:22:24.810 --> 01:22:26.609
one? I don't care about the world champions.

01:22:26.930 --> 01:22:30.869
Come on. Give me. What is it? Lightweight? It's

01:22:30.869 --> 01:22:34.310
vacant right now. Javier Herrera is the interim

01:22:34.310 --> 01:22:38.989
champ. So they could elevate him? William Cepeda,

01:22:39.250 --> 01:22:45.229
Lamont Roach, Andy Cruz as the top three. Bro,

01:22:45.229 --> 01:22:48.789
they could have elevated Oshaki. Oh, my God.

01:22:48.789 --> 01:22:52.050
Oshaki still had it. Imagine. Stephen Fulton

01:22:52.050 --> 01:22:55.029
gave Oshaki Foster the WBC belt from Chris Stevenson.

01:22:55.869 --> 01:23:00.250
Hilarious. Love that turn of events. Lamont Roach

01:23:00.250 --> 01:23:03.689
might be doing WBA. Yeah, he's definitely doing

01:23:03.689 --> 01:23:07.239
WBA. Andy Cruz, it wouldn't be a bad bounce back

01:23:07.239 --> 01:23:10.520
for Andy Cruz, actually. Another title fight?

01:23:10.619 --> 01:23:15.640
No. Yeah. But he needs another, he needs a tune

01:23:15.640 --> 01:23:18.600
-up, at least beforehand. Yeah, for sure. Sure.

01:23:19.060 --> 01:23:22.199
I mean, I mean, who else is there? What are you,

01:23:22.260 --> 01:23:25.560
Shinaba? The, they can't come into a title fight

01:23:25.560 --> 01:23:27.779
off a loss? No, you shouldn't. You shouldn't.

01:23:28.140 --> 01:23:31.920
I know you shouldn't, but when the options are

01:23:31.920 --> 01:23:35.359
guys like Sam Noakes, I'd rather Andy Cruz. Andy

01:23:35.359 --> 01:23:38.079
Cruz versus Sam Noakes is not a bad bounce back.

01:23:38.079 --> 01:23:41.000
That's a banger. Actually, isn't Andy Cruz going

01:23:41.000 --> 01:23:43.699
to move down because he clearly is not cutting

01:23:43.699 --> 01:23:46.760
it at 135 power -wise? I have not heard anything

01:23:46.760 --> 01:23:50.899
about that. That was Moritaya suggesting it after

01:23:50.899 --> 01:23:56.029
the... Yeah. Move down, bro. That's such a, like

01:23:56.029 --> 01:23:57.930
a, that's so funny to say, hey, move down, bro.

01:23:57.989 --> 01:23:59.569
You gotta, you can't hang up here with the big

01:23:59.569 --> 01:24:01.649
dogs. The big dogs that are fucking cutting me

01:24:01.649 --> 01:24:04.029
like crazy. Like, to some extent, like, if you

01:24:04.029 --> 01:24:07.909
absolutely cannot, like, because, like, he was

01:24:07.909 --> 01:24:12.149
touching up Murataya. Yeah. Like, zero damage,

01:24:12.229 --> 01:24:16.869
I guess, like. You have Hydrogen Baby versus

01:24:16.869 --> 01:24:19.029
fucking Hydrogen Bomb versus Coughing Baby. Hydrogen

01:24:19.029 --> 01:24:22.600
Bomb versus Coughing Baby, dude. The hydrogen

01:24:22.600 --> 01:24:27.439
baby beats the coughing bomb, dude. Come on,

01:24:27.479 --> 01:24:28.779
dude. I don't know what the fuck's up with me

01:24:28.779 --> 01:24:32.180
today. I'm like, I gotta get on that clavicular

01:24:32.180 --> 01:24:36.340
shit, whatever the fuck they call him. He's decomposing,

01:24:36.359 --> 01:24:39.420
dude. I gotta decompose my brain and then recompose

01:24:39.420 --> 01:24:42.420
it. You gotta microdose meth and steroids, dude.

01:24:42.840 --> 01:24:45.739
I gotta get whatever fucking shit Shea Moses

01:24:45.739 --> 01:24:51.750
on. It was on 10 years ago. Clear my head. Anything

01:24:51.750 --> 01:24:57.210
more for Stevenson, Teofimo? Let's talk about

01:24:57.210 --> 01:24:59.069
where they could go next because I know Stevenson

01:24:59.069 --> 01:25:02.949
is looking to fight Conor Benn, which is fucking...

01:25:02.949 --> 01:25:06.409
What the fuck? What kind of fucking move is that?

01:25:07.750 --> 01:25:10.189
What kind of fucking move is to fight Conor Benn?

01:25:11.069 --> 01:25:13.909
I mean, the fight I would love to see... What

01:25:13.909 --> 01:25:16.430
do you mean, who is Conor Benn? Who's fighting?

01:25:16.590 --> 01:25:19.250
It's Shakur fighting Conor Benn, right? Yeah.

01:25:19.840 --> 01:25:23.000
Oh, my God. Exactly. Why? I did a double take.

01:25:23.180 --> 01:25:25.779
Like, I am listening. I swear. It's just like,

01:25:25.800 --> 01:25:29.220
oh, my God. There's a fight I think that I would

01:25:29.220 --> 01:25:33.359
love to see Shakur in at 140, and that would

01:25:33.359 --> 01:25:35.079
be against Gary Antoine Russell. That would be

01:25:35.079 --> 01:25:38.260
a fantastic fight of relentless pressure versus

01:25:38.260 --> 01:25:41.840
relentless defense. That would be amazing. For

01:25:41.840 --> 01:25:47.159
boxing purists, that is. Really. I don't care

01:25:47.159 --> 01:25:50.090
if Tank comes back or not. Shakur, Tank. Now

01:25:50.090 --> 01:25:54.350
that he's finally a guy with profile. Yeah, I

01:25:54.350 --> 01:25:58.130
mean... Not that I have Tank winning that by

01:25:58.130 --> 01:26:01.729
any means, but it's like... It's a good fight

01:26:01.729 --> 01:26:05.149
to make. I will say that. That fight would sell

01:26:05.149 --> 01:26:08.149
over fucking 800 ,000 pay -per -view. That would

01:26:08.149 --> 01:26:11.609
do good pay -per -view and gate. That fight is

01:26:11.609 --> 01:26:15.909
big. Put that shit in Baltimore as Tank's comeback.

01:26:16.550 --> 01:26:20.859
Put that shit in New York. Jersey. Brick City.

01:26:21.000 --> 01:26:24.840
Put it somewhere where they have a big arena.

01:26:25.939 --> 01:26:28.899
Fucking fantastic fans. Oh my god, that would

01:26:28.899 --> 01:26:30.500
be amazing. Doubt it's going to happen though.

01:26:30.979 --> 01:26:32.939
The best next thing is Gary Antoine Russell.

01:26:33.539 --> 01:26:36.560
Yeah. No, absolutely. I'm just saying in terms

01:26:36.560 --> 01:26:38.220
of like, if we're talking about big, big profile

01:26:38.220 --> 01:26:43.680
fights, like the Hank comeback with Shakur would

01:26:43.680 --> 01:26:47.359
be so good to see. I'm thinking I'm going to

01:26:47.359 --> 01:26:49.770
find him though. I got one for the degenerates.

01:26:50.470 --> 01:26:52.189
I think I know what you're going to say, and

01:26:52.189 --> 01:26:54.829
I fucking agree with you on this. Let's hear

01:26:54.829 --> 01:26:58.430
it. The one for the degenerates, Sandor Martin.

01:26:59.529 --> 01:27:02.689
Oh, Jesus Christ, man. Where the fuck did that

01:27:02.689 --> 01:27:06.010
come from? Jesus Christ. The who's who of 140

01:27:06.010 --> 01:27:10.350
has fought him. Yeah, but we don't want to see

01:27:10.350 --> 01:27:14.220
him, dude. The only reason we got him fighting

01:27:14.220 --> 01:27:16.520
the who's who of 140 is because Mikey Garcia

01:27:16.520 --> 01:27:20.880
was checked out. Too busy destroying low -income

01:27:20.880 --> 01:27:23.300
housing instead of being focused in the ring,

01:27:23.399 --> 01:27:29.260
and now he's the problem of the fans. Now we

01:27:29.260 --> 01:27:31.659
have to deal with him. He's the problem of the

01:27:31.659 --> 01:27:34.560
fans, but... I was going to say, Puyo just beat

01:27:34.560 --> 01:27:41.340
him last year. Teal Fimo? Where can he go from

01:27:41.340 --> 01:27:46.760
here? I think his options are pretty limited.

01:27:47.239 --> 01:27:50.739
Regardless of who it is, it's not going to go

01:27:50.739 --> 01:27:56.500
well if it's with his father in his corner. 100%.

01:27:56.500 --> 01:28:01.819
Where he goes from here is a new camp. I mean,

01:28:01.859 --> 01:28:08.140
if you want money, you could easily get a Devin

01:28:08.140 --> 01:28:09.800
Haney fight. You're going to lose that, but you

01:28:09.800 --> 01:28:11.420
can get Devin Haney fight with your pull from

01:28:11.420 --> 01:28:16.619
the WBO. If you'd like, you could fight like

01:28:16.619 --> 01:28:19.260
a fucking Matias. That could be a good comeback

01:28:19.260 --> 01:28:21.460
fight. A good one, honestly, and you guys can

01:28:21.460 --> 01:28:23.779
disagree, is a move up to 147 and fight George

01:28:23.779 --> 01:28:29.979
Kambosis. Kambosis is still fighting. Yeah. I

01:28:29.979 --> 01:28:32.619
believe he's still fighting on 147. Get your

01:28:32.619 --> 01:28:38.460
get back. There's definitely a level fighter

01:28:38.460 --> 01:28:44.460
that Teofimo cannot beat. It's kind of... Not

01:28:44.460 --> 01:28:48.659
to say it's a little fair, but like... I mean,

01:28:48.680 --> 01:28:51.479
see, at this point, it's basically guys who are

01:28:51.479 --> 01:28:55.359
good, who you would not want to rebound against,

01:28:55.659 --> 01:29:00.399
per se. Or guys you've basically beat already.

01:29:02.039 --> 01:29:04.420
I know a good fight that, honestly, I think Teofimo

01:29:04.420 --> 01:29:08.670
can win. In my opinion. And you guys can disagree.

01:29:09.289 --> 01:29:12.310
Two fights, actually. I think Teofimo can beat

01:29:12.310 --> 01:29:17.449
Ryan. A 147 Ryan. Maybe not with power, but obviously

01:29:17.449 --> 01:29:18.909
with finesse. Obviously his counterpunch skills

01:29:18.909 --> 01:29:23.750
are phenomenal. But it would either be Ryan or

01:29:23.750 --> 01:29:30.369
Roley. Again, both guys have power. But both

01:29:30.369 --> 01:29:33.149
guys also don't. Roley Teofimo would be one of

01:29:33.149 --> 01:29:35.329
the funniest buildups I've seen in my life, though.

01:29:35.680 --> 01:29:38.399
That would be a great fight that could be like

01:29:38.399 --> 01:29:41.880
a co -main. You know, co -main to... Most racist

01:29:41.880 --> 01:29:45.359
build -up you've seen in your entire life. And

01:29:45.359 --> 01:29:46.760
I think they used to be buddies, too. They used

01:29:46.760 --> 01:29:50.439
to have a relationship. You could market that

01:29:50.439 --> 01:29:53.600
pretty easily. Maybe sell, you know, sell pretty

01:29:53.600 --> 01:29:57.340
nice. I don't know. I think he could beat both

01:29:57.340 --> 01:30:00.500
those opponents. Give him some time. Rolly's

01:30:00.500 --> 01:30:04.699
fucking tragic. 100%, you know, and they spar

01:30:04.699 --> 01:30:06.539
together too. I think that Teofimo put his hands

01:30:06.539 --> 01:30:09.119
on the sparring, but Teofimo, you could get it

01:30:09.119 --> 01:30:13.159
back. Don't be racist anymore, dude. This is

01:30:13.159 --> 01:30:15.399
probably karma for being racist. You lost in

01:30:15.399 --> 01:30:17.399
front of a whole bunch of fucking your fans,

01:30:17.479 --> 01:30:22.239
you know. So the guy that you said that, well,

01:30:22.399 --> 01:30:24.359
I don't want to repeat the comments, but we all

01:30:24.359 --> 01:30:26.739
know what he said about fucking African -American

01:30:26.739 --> 01:30:29.460
people. He was talking about liquor. Oh yeah,

01:30:29.479 --> 01:30:34.789
I'm sorry. He's talking about liquor. I hope

01:30:34.789 --> 01:30:42.189
he comes back and fights another opponent. Oh,

01:30:42.189 --> 01:30:46.569
man. We have to keep rolling. We still have one

01:30:46.569 --> 01:30:52.310
more card to recap and all the previews. So,

01:30:52.310 --> 01:31:00.760
Sunday, February 1st. Zufa Boxing 2. At the meta

01:31:00.760 --> 01:31:08.619
apex. It seems that Zufa, for the most part,

01:31:08.720 --> 01:31:12.640
are going to be decision merchants. They had

01:31:12.640 --> 01:31:16.420
one stoppage in the prelims. Jamar Talley stops

01:31:16.420 --> 01:31:22.079
Devante Williams in two. Moving up, a lot of

01:31:22.079 --> 01:31:28.500
pretty okay performances, I guess. Until we get

01:31:28.500 --> 01:31:33.979
to Hot Rod Kalachik. God bless Hot Rod. Oleksandr

01:31:33.979 --> 01:31:39.000
Vozdik gets bopped in seven. That was so... Oh,

01:31:39.020 --> 01:31:42.760
my God. That was a damn good performance from

01:31:42.760 --> 01:31:47.159
both of them. No, it wasn't. Yes, it was. Dude,

01:31:48.220 --> 01:31:49.840
they came back from the fucking death to hell.

01:31:50.319 --> 01:31:54.300
No, I was saying good performance. No. Fun? Yes.

01:31:54.989 --> 01:31:56.390
Oh, yeah, I think that's what I mean. Obviously,

01:31:56.470 --> 01:31:58.770
that's what I mean. Good performance, getting

01:31:58.770 --> 01:32:03.050
your ass beat until you find a just monster right

01:32:03.050 --> 01:32:06.569
hand. And we're losing the whole fight. And then

01:32:06.569 --> 01:32:09.789
boom. Holy fuck. Victory from the jaws of defeat

01:32:09.789 --> 01:32:15.829
with that one. Wonderful fucking knockout. I

01:32:15.829 --> 01:32:17.710
don't even think the commentary expected it,

01:32:17.729 --> 01:32:22.380
considering how the night had gone. Yeah. Were

01:32:22.380 --> 01:32:25.260
they pushing Vazdik more or were they pushing

01:32:25.260 --> 01:32:28.840
Hot Rod more? They were just kind of like, yeah,

01:32:29.060 --> 01:32:34.140
like, not unenthused, but, you know, it felt

01:32:34.140 --> 01:32:39.760
like Vazdik was gonna take it pretty handily

01:32:39.760 --> 01:32:44.880
and then the shot came out of nowhere. Good for

01:32:44.880 --> 01:32:47.039
Hot Rod, though. Sets him up for a nice payday

01:32:47.039 --> 01:32:52.039
against whoever in the future. Well, maybe not

01:32:52.039 --> 01:32:54.560
payday, but an interesting fight with a higher

01:32:54.560 --> 01:32:57.279
-ranked opponent. Maybe higher profile. Yeah,

01:32:57.319 --> 01:33:00.760
that'd be fucking Jai Obataya. That's true. They

01:33:00.760 --> 01:33:05.039
could bump him up to fight Jai Obataya. I don't

01:33:05.039 --> 01:33:07.399
know who this guy beat. Alexander Gvazdik. Put

01:33:07.399 --> 01:33:14.079
him up with Obataya. Sergei Bohachuk gets the

01:33:14.079 --> 01:33:18.600
split decision over Ratsa Butaev. Clobberfest.

01:33:21.420 --> 01:33:23.939
Didn't learn anything new about either guy, really.

01:33:24.779 --> 01:33:30.300
Yeah, not really. Sad to see Bo Hatruk on fucking

01:33:30.300 --> 01:33:36.180
Zufa. But what are you going to do? He knew exactly

01:33:36.180 --> 01:33:42.359
where he was going when he signed on to fight

01:33:42.359 --> 01:33:47.680
Brandon Adams a second time. Did I call it or

01:33:47.680 --> 01:33:50.039
did I not call it? They're getting rid of him

01:33:50.039 --> 01:33:55.340
because Brandon Adams is easier to beat. For

01:33:55.340 --> 01:33:59.100
the record, Brandon Adams has a fight against

01:33:59.100 --> 01:34:06.180
an undefeated Irish prospect next. Brandon Adams

01:34:06.180 --> 01:34:17.500
does? Yes. Oh, Aji Arco. Yeah. So his name is

01:34:17.500 --> 01:34:21.239
spelled just like a vomit of letters, but I think

01:34:21.239 --> 01:34:24.779
it's like Kevin. Yeah. It's like Kevin at Yarko.

01:34:24.779 --> 01:34:28.880
Yeah. But you see, you see my point that I made

01:34:28.880 --> 01:34:31.779
about like, let's get Boa Chuck, who is actually

01:34:31.779 --> 01:34:34.439
like a stern threat to prospects out of the way

01:34:34.439 --> 01:34:41.420
for a much more beatable guy who. technically

01:34:41.420 --> 01:34:43.840
gives our prospect a little more sheen since

01:34:43.840 --> 01:34:48.859
he took down Boachuk twice. And if you lose to

01:34:48.859 --> 01:34:52.539
him, it's not like a taking years off of your

01:34:52.539 --> 01:34:55.960
life kind of beating? No, like Boachuk has some

01:34:55.960 --> 01:35:00.180
pretty hard hands. Brandon Adams does not. Yeah.

01:35:00.359 --> 01:35:05.619
So, case in point, look, it came to pass. So.

01:35:06.399 --> 01:35:13.069
Mmm. Rayo Valenzuela. UD over Diego Torres. Ryo

01:35:13.069 --> 01:35:20.789
got pretty bloody. Looked like Ryo. Good job.

01:35:21.550 --> 01:35:28.890
Looked good. Pretty nothing opponent. Andy, what

01:35:28.890 --> 01:35:33.430
you got to do? The Ryo's Ryo. Get that Zufo pack.

01:35:35.840 --> 01:35:39.159
Let's roll into our fucking previews. Man, it

01:35:39.159 --> 01:35:45.239
is a light week. Like, I really scraped the fucking

01:35:45.239 --> 01:35:48.640
bottom of the barrel for these. Let's see. February

01:35:48.640 --> 01:35:54.279
14th. Dream Boxing on DAZN. At the Haristo Arena

01:35:54.279 --> 01:36:00.060
in Germany. Prepare yourselves. Marco Hook is

01:36:00.060 --> 01:36:03.479
back. 10 round fight at Cruiserweight. Oh my

01:36:03.479 --> 01:36:10.189
god. Versus... Vaclav Pesar. Where is this taking

01:36:10.189 --> 01:36:15.770
place? Haristo Arena in North... Germany. Okay,

01:36:15.890 --> 01:36:18.550
excellent. Okay, that crowd's going to be insane.

01:36:21.670 --> 01:36:24.710
Honestly, that's the only card kind of worth

01:36:24.710 --> 01:36:28.770
anything that's on the 14th. To the surprise

01:36:28.770 --> 01:36:35.399
of no one, I suppose. And capping off... We've

01:36:35.399 --> 01:36:38.260
got three. Sunday is a pretty good card. Sunday,

01:36:38.300 --> 01:36:43.140
February 15th, we've got three. First, in the

01:36:43.140 --> 01:36:48.340
early -ass morning, Muto Promotions in Osaka,

01:36:48.560 --> 01:36:53.739
Japan. Ryosuke Nishida, Super Bantamweight guy,

01:36:53.920 --> 01:36:57.619
versus Brian Mercado. That should be a good fight.

01:36:59.319 --> 01:37:04.159
Don't know who anyone else is. Let's see here.

01:37:05.470 --> 01:37:11.409
Zufa Boxing 3 on Paramount+. Scroll up, bitch.

01:37:13.210 --> 01:37:20.989
Looking at these names, only one I'm going to

01:37:20.989 --> 01:37:25.109
point out is Leo Ruiz fighting Casey Streeter.

01:37:26.250 --> 01:37:32.210
If you lose, you have to change your name. And

01:37:32.210 --> 01:37:34.890
the headline, F .A. Ajagba versus Charles Martin.

01:37:37.430 --> 01:37:41.609
What the fuck? Yeah. Hey, what do you mean? I'm

01:37:41.609 --> 01:37:46.750
always happy with these heavyweight fights, even

01:37:46.750 --> 01:37:52.189
if it's on Zufa. They're not great. They're going

01:37:52.189 --> 01:37:53.770
to punch the hell out of each other. It'll be

01:37:53.770 --> 01:37:58.399
fun. Is it, though? I hope FA at Jogba sparks

01:37:58.399 --> 01:38:00.920
him. What do you mean, man? Like, Charles Martin,

01:38:01.199 --> 01:38:03.859
say what you will, man. He's not in, like, boring

01:38:03.859 --> 01:38:09.779
fights. How long ago was that? What do you mean?

01:38:09.880 --> 01:38:13.899
It's just in general. How long ago was it? When

01:38:13.899 --> 01:38:17.020
was the last time you've seen an exciting Charles

01:38:17.020 --> 01:38:20.659
Martin fight? Jared Anderson. Seeing him start

01:38:20.659 --> 01:38:22.979
to put it on Jared Anderson late was pretty fun.

01:38:25.260 --> 01:38:27.399
What is it, though? Was he really putting it

01:38:27.399 --> 01:38:30.140
on, though? Was it something that you would get

01:38:30.140 --> 01:38:33.100
fucking, oh, my God, whole shit? Hey, by fun,

01:38:33.100 --> 01:38:36.819
I mean, I have my vices, like everyone, and my

01:38:36.819 --> 01:38:39.840
vices are I like watching really shitty heavyweights

01:38:39.840 --> 01:38:41.359
beat the hell out of each other because there's

01:38:41.359 --> 01:38:44.000
no defense or footwork. That's like some heroin,

01:38:44.100 --> 01:38:47.319
man. Like, that's why I like Dave Allen, dude.

01:38:47.420 --> 01:38:51.479
There's no risk of Dave Allen boxing. Yeah, but

01:38:51.479 --> 01:38:53.920
Dave Allen's funny, though. That's a meme. Charles

01:38:53.920 --> 01:38:55.779
Martin's just like... Charles Martin's a former

01:38:55.779 --> 01:38:58.579
world champion. Come on. Yeah, but that's just

01:38:58.579 --> 01:39:00.619
sad. You got a former world champion fighting.

01:39:00.760 --> 01:39:04.880
No, it was hilarious because his opponent's knee

01:39:04.880 --> 01:39:08.520
turned to glue mid -fight while he was losing

01:39:08.520 --> 01:39:11.460
the fight, by the way. And then he called it.

01:39:11.479 --> 01:39:17.100
My power broke his knee. Yeah. That woman got

01:39:17.100 --> 01:39:19.720
a chuckle out of him. Then AJ immediately nuked

01:39:19.720 --> 01:39:26.460
him. Come on. The bar for fun for heavyweights

01:39:26.460 --> 01:39:29.560
is different because, like, it's not, like, it's

01:39:29.560 --> 01:39:34.859
basically power slap. That's out of point. That

01:39:34.859 --> 01:39:37.359
makes sense why it's fucking Zufa. Yeah, like,

01:39:37.380 --> 01:39:39.279
it's basically power slap with some of these

01:39:39.279 --> 01:39:42.159
guys. Like, I'm not expecting, like, a display

01:39:42.159 --> 01:39:45.079
of the sweet science. Like, no. These are two

01:39:45.079 --> 01:39:49.079
fat dudes who, at this point, they have no aspirations

01:39:49.079 --> 01:39:51.100
for anything serious. They're going to beat the

01:39:51.100 --> 01:39:52.800
hell out of each other. It'll be fun. And then

01:39:52.800 --> 01:39:55.510
I'm going to go to bed. We'll see. We'll see.

01:39:55.789 --> 01:39:58.630
If it's not fun, I'm going to be so surprised

01:39:58.630 --> 01:40:01.949
because that'll mean that a guy's trying to box

01:40:01.949 --> 01:40:03.409
and then he's going to gas and then he's going

01:40:03.409 --> 01:40:06.409
to lose. You can't tell me that Jarrell Miller

01:40:06.409 --> 01:40:09.090
fights, excluding the toupee incident, are not

01:40:09.090 --> 01:40:12.210
sort of entertaining for the same reason. There's

01:40:12.210 --> 01:40:17.710
no risk of him moving enough to bore you. We

01:40:17.710 --> 01:40:20.050
shall see what happens. It's like boxing junk

01:40:20.050 --> 01:40:24.300
food, basically. Like, this is boxing Beth. No,

01:40:24.300 --> 01:40:27.239
it's like boxing junk food. Like, every once

01:40:27.239 --> 01:40:30.840
in a while, like, you order some really shitty

01:40:30.840 --> 01:40:32.779
food and you just enjoy it. And that's how I

01:40:32.779 --> 01:40:35.899
see heavyweight fights that aren't, like, world

01:40:35.899 --> 01:40:39.680
beaters. Yeah, but that's like Dave Allen and

01:40:39.680 --> 01:40:42.340
Mac Mudoff type fights. This fight's more like

01:40:42.340 --> 01:40:45.680
fucking taking meth because you need it. Both

01:40:45.680 --> 01:40:49.300
of these guys probably beat Dave Allen. Hey.

01:40:50.100 --> 01:40:54.020
I'm not saying that it's not going to be a watchable

01:40:54.020 --> 01:40:58.560
fight. We'll see what happens, dude, but I sincerely

01:40:58.560 --> 01:41:01.739
doubt it's going to be a fun, fun fight. Yes,

01:41:02.180 --> 01:41:05.739
we all sat down for redneck brawl. This is just...

01:41:05.739 --> 01:41:09.159
Yeah, but that's different. That's its own thing.

01:41:09.340 --> 01:41:12.520
That's its own sexy thing, you know? Those guys

01:41:12.520 --> 01:41:14.359
could be world -ranked heavyweights if they actually

01:41:14.359 --> 01:41:17.739
train. Come on. It's pretty sad. Yeah, man. It's

01:41:17.739 --> 01:41:21.500
pretty sad out here. Yeah, they'd be the likes

01:41:21.500 --> 01:41:25.000
of Moses Aitama and fucking Daniel Dubois. World

01:41:25.000 --> 01:41:29.579
-ranked is like top 20 is a lot of people. Yeah.

01:41:29.979 --> 01:41:34.819
You're right. Top 20 is a lot of guys. I don't

01:41:34.819 --> 01:41:37.960
see him going that far, but that's my whole book

01:41:37.960 --> 01:41:41.060
opinion. That's what I'm saying. Even top 50,

01:41:41.159 --> 01:41:44.579
top 100 for world rank, you have to go really

01:41:44.579 --> 01:41:49.560
far to justify heavyweights. We'll see what happens

01:41:49.560 --> 01:41:53.479
with that. Let me find the 100th ranked heavyweight

01:41:53.479 --> 01:41:58.840
for you. Probably fucking Shannon Briggs. The

01:41:58.840 --> 01:42:03.930
99th ranked heavyweight is Tom Schwartz. The

01:42:03.930 --> 01:42:09.909
guy that fought Fury? Yes. His most recent fight

01:42:09.909 --> 01:42:17.850
is a UD loss to Sanad Gashi. Who? What the fuck?

01:42:17.930 --> 01:42:24.050
He's a guy who lost to Derek Chisora. And like

01:42:24.050 --> 01:42:29.319
a real stinker. So that's what I mean by, like,

01:42:29.340 --> 01:42:32.359
you get – so you say it gets really weird in,

01:42:32.399 --> 01:42:34.939
like, if you, like, qualify world ranking as,

01:42:35.020 --> 01:42:39.699
like, top 100, top 150. Yeah. No, you're right.

01:42:39.800 --> 01:42:46.300
You're right. So, like, Dave Allen is 79. Still

01:42:46.300 --> 01:42:51.140
meth, guys. I'm going to go with pork belly because

01:42:51.140 --> 01:42:54.640
it's really fatty. The pork rinds. Pork rinds

01:42:54.640 --> 01:42:56.100
still have some nutritional value. They're pork

01:42:56.100 --> 01:43:00.970
rinds. Yeah, pork rinds is a good one. You have

01:43:00.970 --> 01:43:03.750
too much of it, it's gonna make you sick. Pork

01:43:03.750 --> 01:43:06.050
rinds have a dollar tree. Pork belly still has

01:43:06.050 --> 01:43:11.670
the nutritional value in it, but like... Pork

01:43:11.670 --> 01:43:16.329
rinds, that shit got fried out. And let's wrap

01:43:16.329 --> 01:43:20.970
it up here. I had... Before I got the full card

01:43:20.970 --> 01:43:27.369
for Zufa... And this Muto card, which those I

01:43:27.369 --> 01:43:31.130
got later. So I had a placeholder here. Top tier

01:43:31.130 --> 01:43:37.210
boxing on DAZN at the Brentwood Center. Fucking

01:43:37.210 --> 01:43:44.390
long ass card. The headline is Tiago Osorio Muxanga

01:43:44.390 --> 01:43:52.470
versus Asenia Byfield. That's going to be a great

01:43:52.470 --> 01:43:58.199
scrap. The only thing is the matchmaker for top

01:43:58.199 --> 01:44:04.760
tier is this British social media personality

01:44:04.760 --> 01:44:09.380
for boxing. Her name is Allie Drew. I sat next

01:44:09.380 --> 01:44:18.159
to her at a Golovkin Canelo 3. Oh. That's interesting.

01:44:18.840 --> 01:44:25.289
So, yeah. That's the time I met Allie Drew. She's

01:44:25.289 --> 01:44:31.310
pretty good looking, but whatever. That's it

01:44:31.310 --> 01:44:36.729
for the fights. Let me do this. What if your

01:44:36.729 --> 01:44:39.510
best thinking day wasn't a lucky accident? What

01:44:39.510 --> 01:44:41.770
if you could access that clarity, that sharp

01:44:41.770 --> 01:44:44.810
focus, that feeling of being completely on whenever

01:44:44.810 --> 01:44:47.550
you need it? We live in a world of distraction

01:44:47.550 --> 01:44:51.050
where mental fog can settle in before noon. You

01:44:51.050 --> 01:44:53.630
need a natural edge. a simple way to clear the

01:44:53.630 --> 01:44:56.750
noise and elevate your mind. Introducing psilocybin,

01:44:56.869 --> 01:44:59.029
the daily supplement powered by extraordinary

01:44:59.029 --> 01:45:02.510
magic mushrooms. For centuries, these mushrooms

01:45:02.510 --> 01:45:04.609
have been revered for the unique compounds that

01:45:04.609 --> 01:45:09.010
support brain health in very groovy ways. Psilocybin

01:45:09.010 --> 01:45:11.430
has harnessed that power, making it easy to integrate

01:45:11.430 --> 01:45:14.750
it into your daily routine. When you take psilocybin,

01:45:14.909 --> 01:45:17.350
you're not getting a jolt of caffeine or a rush

01:45:17.350 --> 01:45:20.289
of sugar. You're nurturing your mind's long -term

01:45:20.289 --> 01:45:23.300
health and inner tranquility. Experience better

01:45:23.300 --> 01:45:26.600

the honeybee. But bees are struggling, and the

01:46:03.579 --> 01:46:06.119

If you guys don't have any lovers on Valentine's

01:47:50.260 --> 01:47:52.600
Day, you can listen to us. Meantime, I'll be

01:47:52.600 --> 01:47:56.520
spending it with my special someone. An AI chatbot,

01:47:56.699 --> 01:48:00.960
so. Oh, and again, against what Frost was saying

01:48:00.960 --> 01:48:05.750
last time. Contrary to what you're saying, I'm

01:48:05.750 --> 01:48:09.829
still with my girlfriend. Excellent. AI chatbot?

01:48:11.250 --> 01:48:13.630
We'll never know. Maybe I'll get on the pod one

01:48:13.630 --> 01:48:17.350
day to say some shit. Imagine I bring on the

01:48:17.350 --> 01:48:21.770
pod and it's like, hello, guys. My name is Frost.

01:48:22.449 --> 01:48:27.310
Grock 4 .0. I don't know. Make your loved ones

01:48:27.310 --> 01:48:33.000
watch. Marco, hug. Shit. See how much they really

01:48:33.000 --> 01:48:36.560
love you. Yeah, really. Yeah, I should do some

01:48:36.560 --> 01:48:38.359
boxing and chill. Steak dinner, Marco Huck, I

01:48:38.359 --> 01:48:46.020
don't know. You can hug me dry. Say that. Well,

01:48:46.159 --> 01:48:50.199
