WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.399
This shit ain't nothing to me, man. This is Boxing

00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:06.679
Before Dark. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Back. Back.

00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:11.300
Back. Back. Back. Before. Before. Before. Before.

00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:15.019
Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing Before Dark. This

00:00:15.019 --> 00:00:25.559
is Boxing Before Dark. Okay. Okay. Boxing. Yes.

00:00:25.620 --> 00:00:30.699
So much boxing. Um. Let me see. But the intro

00:00:30.699 --> 00:00:32.960
this week is go get a library card and actually

00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:39.219
use it. Yeah, I'll have that be the lead in.

00:00:39.579 --> 00:00:43.100
All right. Let me get the fucking timer. All

00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:47.820
right. Cool. Cool. Boxing before dark. We're

00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:52.920
back, baby. Yeah. I was gone on a trip. It was

00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.439
so good, guys. If you're ever in Japan and you

00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:59.619
want to get out of the city, but still want to

00:00:59.619 --> 00:01:03.500
only speak English and have no problems, I highly

00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:09.319
recommend Takayama. Takayama? Yeah, it's up kind

00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:12.579
of in the north. It's in the Gifu Prefecture,

00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:17.810
but... It has an outdoor museum of an old village

00:01:17.810 --> 00:01:22.430
that they set up. And every building has cards

00:01:22.430 --> 00:01:25.310
in English about all the items and where it came

00:01:25.310 --> 00:01:30.790
from. I learned a lot about silk farming. But

00:01:30.790 --> 00:01:33.810
there are full buildings outside. It's a full

00:01:33.810 --> 00:01:37.950
village. And then the downtown area has an old

00:01:37.950 --> 00:01:41.430
shopping district that's very picturesque. And

00:01:41.430 --> 00:01:43.689
some of the souvenirs are really overpriced,

00:01:43.689 --> 00:01:47.730
but certain stores were crazy cheap. I got some

00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:52.530
beautiful little handmade things for like $2.

00:01:52.969 --> 00:01:58.829
Nice. And this tiny little ladybug magnet for

00:01:58.829 --> 00:02:01.569
50 cents or 50 yen. So I don't know what that

00:02:01.569 --> 00:02:04.349
is in American, like 30 cents. Yeah, something

00:02:04.349 --> 00:02:08.060
like that. Yeah, it's crazy. And I got a fluffy

00:02:08.060 --> 00:02:10.900
little squirrel made out of rabbit fur for $3.

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:20.139
Nice. Yeah, it's crazy. Oh, wow. You know what's

00:02:20.139 --> 00:02:25.439
crazy? Gervonta Davis. I kind of fell behind.

00:02:25.620 --> 00:02:29.000
So he was out on bail, and then they put out

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.199
a new warrant for him. Yes. For breaking his

00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:36.979
parole. Back when he was a... released the last

00:02:36.979 --> 00:02:42.699
time yeah so he just didn't want to stay in the

00:02:42.699 --> 00:02:45.400
house that he registered is that what he did

00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.520
yeah that's exactly what it was that's so stupid

00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:54.180
like i'm sure his because it was his coach right

00:02:54.180 --> 00:02:57.439
his coach's house calvin ford yeah yeah i'm sure

00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:03.360
the house is nice like he wasn't told he had

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:08.159
to stay in a crack shack or anything and it's

00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:12.080
uh i mean if you don't want to stay there like

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:16.080
what he got caught staying at like fancy resorts

00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:20.120
and things like that i mean if you're gonna not

00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.159
if you're gonna break your probation the terms

00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.259
of your probation then you should probably not

00:03:25.259 --> 00:03:34.039
be public about it yeah that's crazy Yeah. Anyways,

00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.219
just bad choice after bad choice, Gervonta. Like,

00:03:38.219 --> 00:03:43.439
what the fuck? That warrant was rescinded. I

00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.840
just read a few minutes ago. Oh, was it? Is it

00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.340
because he's on parole in a different state?

00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.159
I didn't read why. I just saw that it was wiped

00:03:52.159 --> 00:04:00.060
away. Interesting. Manny Pacquiao. Joins the

00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:04.300
Team Boxing League. I don't understand what this

00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:09.060
is. I'm out of the loop. Team Boxing League was...

00:04:09.060 --> 00:04:14.280
There would be teams with different cities. Like,

00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.279
for example, Manny Pacquiao is going to be the

00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:21.139
team captain for San Diego. Okay. And they would

00:04:21.139 --> 00:04:25.800
send, like, five fighters in certain weight classes.

00:04:26.670 --> 00:04:29.610
And it's just one round, like one round at Featherweight

00:04:29.610 --> 00:04:32.670
between those two, one round at Lightweight,

00:04:32.769 --> 00:04:36.610
one at Welter, etc. One round is kind of crazy.

00:04:36.730 --> 00:04:39.910
I don't think I've ever heard of anything set

00:04:39.910 --> 00:04:42.089
up for one round. I've heard short fights, like

00:04:42.089 --> 00:04:44.589
four round fights or three round fights. Yeah,

00:04:44.670 --> 00:04:49.209
but it's the team as a whole completes the entire

00:04:49.209 --> 00:04:53.610
fight. Okay, so it'd be like... These two for

00:04:53.610 --> 00:04:55.709
one round, these two for one round, these two

00:04:55.709 --> 00:04:59.449
for one round, and then the team who wins three

00:04:59.449 --> 00:05:02.550
out of the five rounds wins? I think that's how

00:05:02.550 --> 00:05:07.170
it works. Interesting. I mean, it sounds like

00:05:07.170 --> 00:05:11.250
it would be good for, like, really young guys.

00:05:11.430 --> 00:05:14.870
Yeah, developing guys. Yeah. But, I mean, it

00:05:14.870 --> 00:05:17.670
kind of makes sense that Manny Pacquiao's in

00:05:17.670 --> 00:05:22.399
it. Like, he's almost 50. Yeah, one round is

00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:29.560
not too tiring. I can see Pacquiao being pretty

00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.899
good at one round, actually. He's still got three

00:05:31.899 --> 00:05:36.879
minutes of explosiveness. Yeah, and you don't

00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:41.699
have to pace yourself. Yeah. So he's going to

00:05:41.699 --> 00:05:44.759
participate as a fighter. Like I said, team captain

00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:49.720
of the San Diego TJs. Interesting name for the

00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:54.209
team. He will move into an ownership position

00:05:54.209 --> 00:05:58.649
for Team Boxing League and he will be the primary

00:05:58.649 --> 00:06:04.970
global ambassador. I've said this about a few

00:06:04.970 --> 00:06:07.569
things Manny Pacquiao does. I don't like him

00:06:07.569 --> 00:06:11.610
owning things and being part of the organization

00:06:11.610 --> 00:06:16.149
and fighting at the same time. That seems ripe

00:06:16.149 --> 00:06:21.180
for corruption. Yeah, if you're gonna fight,

00:06:21.300 --> 00:06:23.660
fight. If you're gonna be an owner, then be an

00:06:23.660 --> 00:06:27.540
owner. Yeah, I don't know. Like, I haven't heard

00:06:27.540 --> 00:06:30.939
of him doing anything that seems corrupt yet,

00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.199
but it just seems like a conflict of interest

00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:41.939
to me. Yeah, I can see that. Oh, conflict of

00:06:41.939 --> 00:06:45.420
interest. We are interested in this conflict.

00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.819
Oscar Collazo will be rematching Movin Jerusalem

00:06:48.819 --> 00:06:53.540
on March 14th. So that's fine. I mean, it's not

00:06:53.540 --> 00:06:57.879
a bad rematch. But I don't want to see anything

00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:01.279
except Jerusalem and Tataran. Like, that's my

00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:07.000
matchup at minimum. Collazo's probably just going

00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:13.199
to win again. I assume. I would expect he will,

00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:19.379
but this will get... Koyaza will now have two,

00:07:19.660 --> 00:07:23.899
or he already has two, and then this is going

00:07:23.899 --> 00:07:27.899
to be a third. Yeah, I'm not mad at the matchup,

00:07:27.899 --> 00:07:34.040
it's just I want the other one more. Does it

00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:37.459
say where they're fighting? I haven't seen. Yeah.

00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.240
I assume it'll be in the States on an undercard.

00:07:42.540 --> 00:07:49.680
Maybe Puerto Rico, if anywhere. That'd be good.

00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.079
Collazo doesn't get to fight at home very often.

00:07:54.860 --> 00:07:58.980
Speaking of fighting at home, Mickey Conlin will

00:07:58.980 --> 00:08:04.560
be fighting Kevin Walsh in Belfast on March 20th.

00:08:06.699 --> 00:08:12.100
Mickey Conlin's just cracked. Like, I was very

00:08:12.100 --> 00:08:15.819
excited about Mickey Conlin going pro, and he

00:08:15.819 --> 00:08:20.060
just doesn't have the chin for it. And that's

00:08:20.060 --> 00:08:22.339
not something he can really help. I mean, he

00:08:22.339 --> 00:08:24.560
could improve his defense, but if he gets caught,

00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:30.100
he gets caught. Yeah, Mickey Conlin and defense.

00:08:31.620 --> 00:08:35.580
Yeah, I mean, it's not... terrible until all

00:08:35.580 --> 00:08:38.679
of a sudden it is. You know what I mean? Yeah.

00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.179
He's got pretty good defense, but if anybody

00:08:44.179 --> 00:08:47.659
gets through, he just has a glass chin like it's

00:08:47.659 --> 00:08:54.080
porcelain. But I'll watch it. I like Mickey Conlin.

00:08:54.179 --> 00:09:00.279
He didn't have the chin for pro. That'll be on

00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:09.100
DAZN. So that's fun. injustice lester martinez

00:09:09.100 --> 00:09:13.539
will be fighting for the interim title on march

00:09:13.539 --> 00:09:19.480
21st while fucking mble is elevated to full title

00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:23.720
yeah did you see the interview with uh lester

00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:29.379
on the pro box podcast i did not he's such a

00:09:29.379 --> 00:09:32.759
wholesome guy like i don't know i hadn't seen

00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:35.600
him speak very much so the the interview is all

00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:38.720
in spanish so obviously i'm going off subtitles

00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:44.539
but uh he just seems so happy like i don't know

00:09:44.539 --> 00:09:48.539
i i was a fan i'm more of a fan now that i've

00:09:48.539 --> 00:09:53.279
seen him talk and he just seems so like excited

00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:58.360
about getting opportunities i i don't know also

00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.870
i didn't realize guatemala has easy to understand

00:10:01.870 --> 00:10:06.590
Spanish. Like, I could pick out words. Lots of

00:10:06.590 --> 00:10:08.990
those South American countries are very hard

00:10:08.990 --> 00:10:17.129
for me. But yeah, I would suggest people go watch

00:10:17.129 --> 00:10:20.009
the interview. It's like, I don't know, 10 minutes,

00:10:20.190 --> 00:10:23.649
and it just really made me more of a fan of Lester

00:10:23.649 --> 00:10:29.200
Martinez. Man, I'm over here being too... Too

00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.980
busy being gutted that he's relegated to this.

00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:38.340
Yeah. I mean, I didn't recognize the name of

00:10:38.340 --> 00:10:41.279
the guy he's fighting. I don't know if you did.

00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:44.059
I don't really watch that weight class. It's

00:10:44.059 --> 00:10:51.440
a very difficult name. Something Ali. Yeah. So

00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:54.419
I'm assuming Lester's going to win. And then

00:10:54.419 --> 00:10:57.340
he has to be in line for the winner of Canelo

00:10:57.340 --> 00:11:00.519
and Beely, right? Is Canelo Mbili happening?

00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.879
I don't think it's signed, but it's sanctioned.

00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:12.600
I don't really understand what that means. If

00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:16.360
Mbili wants to take that as a defense, then it's

00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.320
approved by WBC. I mean, Mbili would be kind

00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.720
of stupid not to. That's a big payday. His name

00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:31.139
is Emmanuel. Emmanuel Aleem. Oh, that's not that

00:11:31.139 --> 00:11:33.860
difficult. It just looks, it has a lot of extra

00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:40.620
letters. Okay. Yeah, so since Canelo and Billy

00:11:40.620 --> 00:11:43.440
is sanctioned, I assume that's going to happen.

00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:47.940
And I assume that whoever wins this interim gets

00:11:47.940 --> 00:11:52.019
that shot next. That's what I was saying in Discord

00:11:52.019 --> 00:11:58.840
was I don't... It's not often that the WBC calls

00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:04.259
for their interim titles to be consolidated with

00:12:04.259 --> 00:12:09.899
the main title. I do think that's the plan in

00:12:09.899 --> 00:12:12.860
this specific case, though. That would be good.

00:12:12.899 --> 00:12:16.820
I think, I mean, that'd be Leicester's biggest

00:12:16.820 --> 00:12:23.519
fight by a time. So I think he should be rematching

00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:27.820
Mbili. But if this goes, he gets the winner of

00:12:27.820 --> 00:12:31.220
the Canelo and Billy fight. I'm not mad at it,

00:12:31.259 --> 00:12:35.899
really. Like, if Mbili manages to beat Canelo,

00:12:35.940 --> 00:12:38.539
it becomes a super fight, at least in my opinion.

00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:42.259
And if Lester gets a Canelo payday, I'm happy.

00:12:44.059 --> 00:12:46.860
Honestly, I think at this point, Lester Martinez

00:12:46.860 --> 00:12:51.659
probably beats Canelo. At this stage, you might

00:12:51.659 --> 00:12:55.299
be right. Even at this stage. I kind of think,

00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:59.320
I don't know about Mbili. Mbili is so one speed.

00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:01.720
That's exactly what I was going to say. Exactly.

00:13:01.860 --> 00:13:08.159
Yeah. But Lester adjusts so well. Like, I really

00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:11.039
was impressed with him in the Mbili fight because

00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:14.600
he was losing. And then he managed to make adjustments

00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:18.840
and come back in the last half of the fight.

00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:21.679
I had Lester winning, but I mean, a draw is not

00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:26.559
crazy. Yeah, a draw was reasonable. But yeah,

00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.279
Leicester winning was, to me, felt more reasonable.

00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.820
Yeah, yeah. So I'm just excited for Leicester.

00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:36.980
And he seems excited. He's like, this is great.

00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:39.679
I'm getting shots now. People know who I am.

00:13:39.860 --> 00:13:42.299
He's like, I went home to Guatemala. I didn't

00:13:42.299 --> 00:13:44.980
pay for anything. It was amazing. People came

00:13:44.980 --> 00:13:47.320
up on the street. I was like, do you want a beer?

00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.860
Do you want some food? Have some food and a beer.

00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:57.259
How can I make your road to the title easier?

00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:00.799
Yeah, he joked about how he's gotten fat and

00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.120
needs to, like, get back in the gym and away

00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:06.299
from the public a little bit. Makes sense. Makes

00:14:06.299 --> 00:14:12.379
sense. Yeah. Let's see here. Santiago Taniguchi

00:14:12.379 --> 00:14:19.440
at Light Flyweight for Santiago's WBA WDO titles

00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:26.460
on April 3rd. Same day, IBF minimum weight, Tataran

00:14:26.460 --> 00:14:31.259
versus Perez. This is a Shadada card for sure.

00:14:31.419 --> 00:14:35.019
I'm super excited for this one. Yeah, I made

00:14:35.019 --> 00:14:41.240
sure to jot these down for you. I think Santiago

00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:46.419
probably wins, but it'll be fun. And I hope Tataran

00:14:46.419 --> 00:14:49.059
wins because, like I said, I still want that

00:14:49.059 --> 00:14:55.110
Jerusalem -Tataran fight. Is Jerusalem -Tataran,

00:14:55.250 --> 00:14:59.570
is that still... If we're assuming Jerusalem

00:14:59.570 --> 00:15:03.750
is going to lose and not have a title anymore,

00:15:03.970 --> 00:15:09.809
does that lose its luster? Not for me. Maybe

00:15:09.809 --> 00:15:13.210
a little bit. I really wanted the Filipino unification

00:15:13.210 --> 00:15:19.779
fight. That was my dream fight. I really wanted

00:15:19.779 --> 00:15:22.779
them to put that on the Manila card, the 50th

00:15:22.779 --> 00:15:25.580
anniversary of the thriller in Manila, but they

00:15:25.580 --> 00:15:29.100
didn't. Because they're lame. But I still think

00:15:29.100 --> 00:15:32.279
it would be a huge fight. And I think it would

00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:34.779
be cool if they did it in the Philippines. But,

00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:40.580
I mean, I guess minimum weights don't draw very

00:15:40.580 --> 00:15:43.279
well. Even if it happens, it's going to be on

00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.899
an undercard probably somewhere else. Yeah, they

00:15:45.899 --> 00:15:49.649
don't get to command. Much of where they go or

00:15:49.649 --> 00:15:53.789
who they fight. Yeah. But I thought that was

00:15:53.789 --> 00:15:57.570
a perfect setup for that anniversary card in

00:15:57.570 --> 00:16:03.490
Manila and they just didn't make it happen. Lauren

00:16:03.490 --> 00:16:12.549
Price has a mandatory defense for the WBA. Will

00:16:12.549 --> 00:16:16.419
be taking place on April 4th. I don't think I

00:16:16.419 --> 00:16:21.019
know who Lauren Price is. She is the three -belt

00:16:21.019 --> 00:16:24.500
welterweight champ. Oh, I do know who she is.

00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:29.179
I just needed to see her face, yeah. Nice. We'll

00:16:29.179 --> 00:16:34.840
see if the Michaela Mayer gets made after that.

00:16:37.019 --> 00:16:41.220
I assume that's kind of a homecoming fight for

00:16:41.220 --> 00:16:44.769
her? Yes. She's Welsh, right? I don't know if

00:16:44.769 --> 00:16:49.629
she's Welsh. Yes. She was born in Newport and

00:16:49.629 --> 00:16:53.309
she lives in some Welsh town. I have no idea

00:16:53.309 --> 00:16:56.529
how you pronounce. Estradmanach or something?

00:16:56.789 --> 00:17:06.069
Oh, now I want to see. Lauren Price. Oh, shit.

00:17:08.089 --> 00:17:11.069
I think Estradmanach is probably close. That's,

00:17:11.069 --> 00:17:14.319
I think, as good as it's going to get. I have

00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:18.480
no idea how to read well. But that's cool. I

00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:38.240
like when fighters get to go home. Yeah, I'm

00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.559
expecting this to be a one -sided beatdown. Right.

00:17:43.339 --> 00:17:49.279
I think the question becomes not if Pavel's going

00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:56.960
to lose, but rather when and how. Yeah. Those

00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:59.819
Montreal cards are always so one -sided. Like,

00:17:59.819 --> 00:18:03.319
there's hardly ever upsets. I don't know. Eye

00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:06.380
of the Tiger. That's how they get down. They're

00:18:06.380 --> 00:18:08.799
not my favorite. Yeah. They're not my favorite

00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:14.039
promoters. Speaking of favorites. Or not your

00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:17.339
favorite. Sky Nicholson is going to be headlining

00:18:17.339 --> 00:18:25.980
a card in April in Australia. Alright. Yeah.

00:18:26.740 --> 00:18:32.539
That's fun. Fabio Wardley vs. Daniel Dubois May

00:18:32.539 --> 00:18:37.740
9th. This should actually be fun. This is a fucking

00:18:37.740 --> 00:18:41.099
banger. I am excited about this. Yeah, I don't

00:18:41.099 --> 00:18:43.400
watch heavyweights very often, but this one has

00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:46.460
my attention. When they're good, they are so

00:18:46.460 --> 00:18:50.099
good. This is just going to be big, meaty men

00:18:50.099 --> 00:19:00.460
throwing heat. Let's see. Hamza Shiraz is facing

00:19:00.460 --> 00:19:05.160
Alem Begich. I think that's how you say it. That's

00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:11.099
in Manchester in May. Diego Pacheco dropping

00:19:11.099 --> 00:19:15.640
out of the purse bid. That whole sequence of

00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.700
events was fucking weird. I was disappointed

00:19:18.700 --> 00:19:22.200
in Pacheco. Quite. I really didn't think he would

00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:24.599
back out of that one. Yeah, I didn't either.

00:19:25.900 --> 00:19:31.839
Pretty lame. Yeah. Jack Catterall versus Jose

00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:42.549
Ramirez in Fresno on May 30th. I mean, Catterall

00:19:42.549 --> 00:19:49.289
should win. No? I think so. I would prefer if

00:19:49.289 --> 00:19:54.190
he loses. What this one comes down to, they're

00:19:54.190 --> 00:19:58.089
both pretty past it, but Catterall has better

00:19:58.089 --> 00:20:04.009
coaching. So that should be the deciding factor,

00:20:04.190 --> 00:20:08.869
at least in my opinion. I don't like Jack Catterall.

00:20:08.970 --> 00:20:13.730
I don't find him fun to watch at all. I don't

00:20:13.730 --> 00:20:16.529
know. He's just kind of dirty. I don't know.

00:20:16.549 --> 00:20:21.430
I don't like Catterall. His resurgence as a true

00:20:21.430 --> 00:20:25.589
blue Philly -style fighter has been hilarious.

00:20:28.349 --> 00:20:32.190
Yeah. I don't know. I am not a Jack Catterall

00:20:32.190 --> 00:20:38.339
fan. Are you a fan of Armando Resendiz versus

00:20:38.339 --> 00:20:42.180
Jaime Munguia? This one will be on Zerdo Benavidez's

00:20:42.180 --> 00:20:46.099
undercard. I am super excited for this one. This

00:20:46.099 --> 00:20:49.880
is a good fight. I think it's close. I think

00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:52.700
both of them have pretty shit defense. I think

00:20:52.700 --> 00:20:54.839
it's just going to be a monk fest. It's going

00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:59.420
to be great. Yeah. Personally. I'm super excited

00:20:59.420 --> 00:21:03.680
for this one. It's just going to be... A Mexican

00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:08.880
brawl. Is Resendiz Mexican? Yes. Yeah, okay.

00:21:09.819 --> 00:21:15.079
It's... They are pretty closely matched. And

00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:17.920
I know people give him a lot... Resendiz, they

00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:20.579
give him a lot of shit because he lost to Elijah

00:21:20.579 --> 00:21:24.519
Garcia, I think is his name. Which is... Yeah,

00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:27.099
I think... That's a pretty crappy loss to have.

00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:31.339
But Munguia's had the worst for wear, I think.

00:21:32.089 --> 00:21:35.150
When it comes to losses and just a general go

00:21:35.150 --> 00:21:38.349
of things. Getting sparked by a random Frenchman.

00:21:38.450 --> 00:21:42.329
Yep. Yeah, I'm leaning to Resendiz on this one.

00:21:43.670 --> 00:21:45.730
I kind of am too, but I think it's just going

00:21:45.730 --> 00:21:48.609
to be a really fun fight. Yes, it should be.

00:21:48.609 --> 00:21:53.750
Like, I'm just excited for the matchup. That

00:21:53.750 --> 00:21:58.230
one's worthy of rolls, I think. I think so. And

00:21:58.230 --> 00:22:00.450
it's close enough. Like, I think that's truly

00:22:00.450 --> 00:22:07.210
a 50 -50. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Oh, man.

00:22:07.910 --> 00:22:11.569
Speaking of roles, who do you pick? Errol Spence

00:22:11.569 --> 00:22:16.769
versus Tim Zhu in the summer. This is a battle

00:22:16.769 --> 00:22:20.589
of the washed. Yes. Like, so much so. Quite.

00:22:20.670 --> 00:22:22.769
I don't know, man. Errol Spence has been out

00:22:22.769 --> 00:22:27.289
for so long. I know Spence doesn't do tune -ups,

00:22:27.309 --> 00:22:31.049
but maybe he should have. Just to see if he can

00:22:31.049 --> 00:22:36.990
still even move. Yeah, on B -sides, that's exactly

00:22:36.990 --> 00:22:42.190
what I said. Tim Zhu taking the tune -up is kind

00:22:42.190 --> 00:22:45.630
of the opposite of what needs to happen. Yeah.

00:22:47.410 --> 00:22:50.349
Yeah, I don't know. I'll be watching this one,

00:22:50.470 --> 00:22:52.930
but I kind of think it's just going to make me

00:22:52.930 --> 00:22:57.849
sad. Because either Errol Spence is completely

00:22:57.849 --> 00:23:03.190
washed and loses to Tim Zhu, which shouldn't

00:23:03.190 --> 00:23:07.710
happen, but I can see it happening, or Tim Zhu's

00:23:07.710 --> 00:23:11.289
career is over, which also makes me a little

00:23:11.289 --> 00:23:14.329
sad. Like, I think the loser goes home on this

00:23:14.329 --> 00:23:21.650
one. I think this is a last -ditch effort to

00:23:21.650 --> 00:23:26.519
salvage... any shine from Errol Spence and try

00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:34.799
to rehab Tim Zhu's image with the will of Errol

00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:38.519
Spence. Yeah, I think that's a good way to put

00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:41.839
it. This is both of them trying to save their

00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:45.579
career. Yes, and Errol Spence not taking a tune

00:23:45.579 --> 00:23:52.559
-up after two plus years. After a beating. I

00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:54.900
know Errol Spence always stays in shape. Like,

00:23:54.900 --> 00:23:56.960
I've never seen a picture of Errol Spence where

00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.660
he wasn't just ripped, but... He did let himself

00:24:00.660 --> 00:24:04.900
go after the Crawford fight, yeah. I don't follow

00:24:04.900 --> 00:24:09.039
Spence super closely, but, like, the last kind

00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:11.759
of interview thing I saw, he looked like he was

00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:15.359
in good shape, but... Tim Zhu's pretty washed,

00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:18.400
but being in good shape isn't enough to beat

00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:25.269
Tim Zhu. Yeah. Saul had an interesting take,

00:24:25.349 --> 00:24:28.349
which was, I'll believe it when I see it, how

00:24:28.349 --> 00:24:33.109
many times over the last two years have we heard

00:24:33.109 --> 00:24:36.170
Errol Spence is coming back against X, Y, or

00:24:36.170 --> 00:24:40.150
Z fighter? That's true, but I do think him is

00:24:40.150 --> 00:24:46.289
the least dangerous opponent that they've proposed

00:24:46.289 --> 00:24:52.150
for Spence in a long time. Yeah, I agree. I can

00:24:52.150 --> 00:24:54.210
see this one happening. I don't particularly

00:24:54.210 --> 00:24:59.970
disagree with Saul. Spence has a history of not

00:24:59.970 --> 00:25:05.190
actually fighting. Everyone he says is in the

00:25:05.190 --> 00:25:07.529
works or almost signed. But I could see this

00:25:07.529 --> 00:25:10.230
one happening. This is the safest opponent he

00:25:10.230 --> 00:25:17.650
said he's coming back to. Yeah. This one fucking

00:25:17.650 --> 00:25:24.200
just... really fucking pisses me off um wbc strips

00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:27.059
shakur stevenson for not paying a sanctioning

00:25:27.059 --> 00:25:30.960
fee in his last fight which was at a different

00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:34.359
weight class for a different organization and

00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:36.420
they expected him to pay a fucking sanctioning

00:25:36.420 --> 00:25:42.200
fee yeah this this one's just weird i saw an

00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:51.740
interview with wbc is yeah And, I mean, I don't

00:25:51.740 --> 00:25:54.940
know how any of this shit works, but he said

00:25:54.940 --> 00:25:58.000
that they wanted to make a special belt for it

00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:02.220
and that something something and something about

00:26:02.220 --> 00:26:07.039
rules and it's a flat fee for this one or whatever.

00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:10.759
It's all just kind of bullshit, though. Yes.

00:26:12.500 --> 00:26:15.759
I don't know. The whole situation seems stupid.

00:26:17.769 --> 00:26:24.289
Like, WBC always bends over, or they bend their

00:26:24.289 --> 00:26:28.890
rules. Constantly. Yeah, for, typically for Mexican

00:26:28.890 --> 00:26:33.390
fighters, but they do it for money guys, mostly.

00:26:34.529 --> 00:26:39.890
And I don't, I, like, skipping. Shakur is a money

00:26:39.890 --> 00:26:44.990
guy. Right, skipping this one bullshit fee. In

00:26:44.990 --> 00:26:48.869
order to keep the belt on Shakur, have him fight

00:26:48.869 --> 00:26:53.670
for that title more often is going to get you

00:26:53.670 --> 00:26:58.869
more money. So this was an interesting hill that

00:26:58.869 --> 00:27:03.009
they chose to die on. Yeah, I didn't, even him

00:27:03.009 --> 00:27:05.670
explaining the situation, I didn't really understand

00:27:05.670 --> 00:27:09.549
it. Yeah, because he's full of shit. Yeah, well.

00:27:11.690 --> 00:27:14.349
Usually they have at least some logic you can

00:27:14.349 --> 00:27:20.609
follow. Right. Yeah. Man, logic you can follow.

00:27:20.950 --> 00:27:24.609
Matchroom signs an eight -show deal with Fox

00:27:24.609 --> 00:27:29.029
Sports Australia. I believe that counts for New

00:27:29.029 --> 00:27:34.569
Zealand as well. I mean, TV deals are good. Yeah,

00:27:34.589 --> 00:27:39.319
get after it. Yeah. I don't want to see Matchroom

00:27:39.319 --> 00:27:41.859
die. I know they're not everybody's favorite,

00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:46.539
but they're a big active promotion company. Given

00:27:46.539 --> 00:27:50.519
the state that boxing is in right now, I do not

00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:54.640
want Matchroom to even get a boo -boo. Yeah.

00:27:55.279 --> 00:28:01.559
I would put this as good news. Yes. I think Sky

00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:05.859
is going to be headlining the first one. I think

00:28:05.859 --> 00:28:10.059
that's what they're trying to do. I don't think

00:28:10.059 --> 00:28:13.539
that's a particularly bad choice. I mean, I don't

00:28:13.539 --> 00:28:16.759
like her, but... She's good looking. I mean,

00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:19.680
it's gonna... Yeah, she's pretty and talented

00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:23.460
and she's pretty good in the interviews. Yeah.

00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:27.579
She seems like an alright person. Yeah, she's

00:28:27.579 --> 00:28:32.900
not a bad kind of figurehead for... The only

00:28:32.900 --> 00:28:37.160
problem is her fights are so boring. Yeah. I

00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:41.559
don't like when they headline, when boring people

00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:47.599
headline the broadcast for, I know it's not free

00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:51.599
TV, but like TV that a lot of people have. Because

00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:54.519
then it just kind of, well, especially females,

00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:57.119
it's like, oh, female boxing is boring. It almost

00:28:57.119 --> 00:29:01.880
chases casuals away. Yeah, and like the only,

00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:06.900
Your only sell with Skye as the headline is that

00:29:06.900 --> 00:29:10.660
she's good looking. And I don't particularly

00:29:10.660 --> 00:29:14.319
like that either for female boxing. But I know

00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:17.099
it's how it works. Yeah, it's unfortunate. Like,

00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:21.740
Sharnika should get... She should get a good

00:29:21.740 --> 00:29:25.059
rub from this, though. She's a lot more exciting

00:29:25.059 --> 00:29:31.660
to watch. That's true. Speaking of exciting to

00:29:31.660 --> 00:29:37.599
watch, Yuri Orkus, Gamboa, and Lee Selby are

00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:43.480
going to BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing. They're not

00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:45.559
fighting each other. It's just they're both.

00:29:45.700 --> 00:29:48.079
I saw them both. Yeah, they're both going to

00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:51.460
that promotion. Gamboa is going to do well there,

00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:54.819
I think. Yeah, he's going to do like Austin Trout

00:29:54.819 --> 00:30:01.079
did with BKFC. I mean, I don't watch bare -knuckle

00:30:01.079 --> 00:30:04.500
boxing. I'm not particularly opposed to blood,

00:30:04.619 --> 00:30:07.380
but that's just too much for me. The cuts are

00:30:07.380 --> 00:30:13.779
fucking atrocious. Yeah, I say it any time a

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:17.160
bare -knuckle comes up. The last time I watched

00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:20.319
it, I watched a woman get punched in the eye,

00:30:20.440 --> 00:30:23.839
and she later lost that eye, or at least lost

00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:26.619
the use of it. I'm like, I'm good. I don't need

00:30:26.619 --> 00:30:31.619
to watch this anymore. Yeah, I just... Bare Knuckle's

00:30:31.619 --> 00:30:35.059
too bloody for me. I don't mind in boxing when

00:30:35.059 --> 00:30:37.380
there's a bad cut because it's not every fight.

00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.500
But every Bare Knuckle fight in every Bare Knuckle

00:30:41.500 --> 00:30:44.299
organization, there's just blood everywhere.

00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:48.039
Even Muay Thai isn't that bloody by comparison.

00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:54.420
Yeah. This was on the rumor mill. Not sure how...

00:30:54.890 --> 00:30:57.970
how much uh veracity there is to it but Devin

00:30:57.970 --> 00:31:00.789
Haney versus Manny Pacquiao is being explored

00:31:00.789 --> 00:31:04.569
I don't want to see that I don't either I don't

00:31:04.569 --> 00:31:07.009
want to see Manny Pacquiao fight like at all

00:31:07.009 --> 00:31:11.130
except for maybe team boxing league yeah or like

00:31:11.130 --> 00:31:14.150
a Mayweather rematch because Mayweather's broke

00:31:14.150 --> 00:31:19.529
as fuck but like I don't want to see Manny Pacquiao

00:31:19.529 --> 00:31:24.309
in there against champions I just don't It's

00:31:24.309 --> 00:31:26.910
not fair, number one. And we talked about that

00:31:26.910 --> 00:31:29.869
at length with the Barrios fight. But number

00:31:29.869 --> 00:31:37.769
two, Manny doesn't deserve to be there. And it's...

00:31:37.769 --> 00:31:46.470
Dangerous. With Barrios, you have the... He's

00:31:46.470 --> 00:31:50.769
not that good. So it's a little bit more even.

00:31:50.849 --> 00:31:53.779
But Devin Haney... Is going to put a fucking

00:31:53.779 --> 00:31:57.039
shellacking on Manny Pacquiao. Yeah. And it's

00:31:57.039 --> 00:31:59.160
going to be an embarrassment for such a legend.

00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:02.940
A living legend. Yeah, I really don't want to

00:32:02.940 --> 00:32:06.599
see this. I don't want this in any way, shape,

00:32:06.660 --> 00:32:10.059
or form. I'm going to call Bill Haney right now.

00:32:10.299 --> 00:32:15.440
Tell him to stop. Yeah, just stop. Yep. Man,

00:32:16.259 --> 00:32:21.000
speaking of broke Mayweather. Files a $340 million

00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:25.759
lawsuit against Showtime and Steven Espinoza,

00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:30.339
former president of the former Showtime Sports.

00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:35.940
I don't even know where to start with this. One,

00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:41.920
it's been 10 years. Yes. How did you, if it's

00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:44.220
true, which I don't think it is, but if it's

00:32:44.220 --> 00:32:46.940
true, how did you not notice that you didn't

00:32:46.940 --> 00:32:52.119
get $340 million? Like, everybody's like, oh,

00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:55.220
he has so much money. Why would he notice? That

00:32:55.220 --> 00:32:58.680
is a piss poor excuse. Like, if they said that

00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:02.500
he didn't notice not getting even $10 million.

00:33:02.819 --> 00:33:06.799
Sure, I guess. Like, on the grand scale of Mayweather's

00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:11.539
bank account. that's like me missing $100. But

00:33:11.539 --> 00:33:15.680
$340 million, even at his peak, that's a good

00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:20.079
chunk of money for Mayweather. I think of his

00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:24.759
entire net earnings, I think that would be like

00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:28.019
30 % of it. How do you not notice that you don't

00:33:28.019 --> 00:33:32.240
get 30 %? Yeah. And like, how do you not notice

00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:39.410
that you don't get 60 % that year? Like, I just,

00:33:39.569 --> 00:33:49.950
this can't be true. In the deposition, he's alleging

00:33:49.950 --> 00:33:55.670
that Stephen Espinosa and Showtime routed money

00:33:55.670 --> 00:34:01.529
to accounts that were owned by Al Heyman. But

00:34:01.529 --> 00:34:06.420
Al Heyman is not named in the deposition. Yeah,

00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:09.000
because Mayweather knows he'd be countersued

00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:13.440
to the end of time if he named Al Heyman. I mean,

00:34:13.500 --> 00:34:17.300
we were talking about it a little bit ago in

00:34:17.300 --> 00:34:24.639
Discord, and a lot of Al Heyman fighters, past

00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:30.820
or present, still speak very highly of him. He's

00:34:30.820 --> 00:34:36.239
on a pretty bad skid right now. But Adrian Broner,

00:34:36.300 --> 00:34:40.719
for whatever his word may be worth, said, Al

00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:43.900
Heyman was always transparent with me. He was

00:34:43.900 --> 00:34:49.760
always helpful to me in money matters. Yeah,

00:34:49.820 --> 00:34:52.619
I just don't believe this at all. I don't either.

00:34:54.139 --> 00:34:57.780
One, I don't think it matters how rich you are.

00:34:57.840 --> 00:34:59.739
You're going to notice if you're not getting

00:34:59.739 --> 00:35:04.219
over $300 million. Like, that's a crazy amount

00:35:04.219 --> 00:35:09.500
of money. And number two, if it's true, how do

00:35:09.500 --> 00:35:15.699
you not notice for 10 years? Like, if this was

00:35:15.699 --> 00:35:18.840
two years ago, I didn't get my money, that would

00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:21.699
almost make sense because like, oh, you were

00:35:21.699 --> 00:35:25.519
doing your taxes or whatever. But like, how do

00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:29.760
you not notice that when you file taxes? Like...

00:35:31.380 --> 00:35:33.920
Mayweather must have accountants. That's what

00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:37.920
Chief said. Exactly what Chief said. When you

00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:41.820
are at that level of wealth, how do you not have

00:35:41.820 --> 00:35:45.880
an accountant or an advisor, a money manager,

00:35:46.219 --> 00:35:52.619
a fiduciary? How do you not have one? I haven't

00:35:52.619 --> 00:35:55.340
looked at how many years he's saying that they

00:35:55.340 --> 00:36:00.769
funneled this money. Any one year, if you funnel

00:36:00.769 --> 00:36:04.869
$100 million away, you have to note it. That's

00:36:04.869 --> 00:36:07.789
a pretty noticeable number. Yeah, Mayweather

00:36:07.789 --> 00:36:12.349
was not making $500 million a year. And even

00:36:12.349 --> 00:36:15.670
if he was, that's like, I'm not that good at

00:36:15.670 --> 00:36:20.329
math. It's more than 20 % of $500 million. That's

00:36:20.329 --> 00:36:24.409
like 60 % of $500 million. Oh, yeah, 340 of $500.

00:36:24.510 --> 00:36:27.139
Yes, you're right. Yeah, like, it's just such

00:36:27.139 --> 00:36:29.860
a large amount. I don't understand how you could

00:36:29.860 --> 00:36:35.739
miss it. And Mayweather must have had accountants.

00:36:35.739 --> 00:36:39.320
And I've never really heard of him having IRS

00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:43.639
trouble, so he must have been filing taxes. Yeah,

00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:46.460
I've never heard of him having issues with money

00:36:46.460 --> 00:36:51.769
at all. Yeah, but, like, if... If he failed to

00:36:51.769 --> 00:36:56.070
file $300 million of income, the IRS would be

00:36:56.070 --> 00:37:02.050
on his ass. Yeah, the IRS is on my ass for a

00:37:02.050 --> 00:37:05.869
considerably smaller number. Exactly. And like,

00:37:06.070 --> 00:37:13.329
whatever the taxes on $340 million is, if he

00:37:13.329 --> 00:37:16.070
paid that out of pocket, his accountant would

00:37:16.070 --> 00:37:21.289
notice. Like... I don't know the tax system in

00:37:21.289 --> 00:37:23.429
America, but that's literally millions of dollars

00:37:23.429 --> 00:37:27.809
of taxes, isn't it? Yeah, tens of millions. Yeah,

00:37:27.949 --> 00:37:30.750
like, how do you pay that much taxes and not

00:37:30.750 --> 00:37:36.150
notice that you didn't get the money? This can't

00:37:36.150 --> 00:37:39.030
be true. I don't understand how this could possibly

00:37:39.030 --> 00:37:46.349
be true. We were perusing Mayweather's social

00:37:46.349 --> 00:37:49.670
media, public social media stuff. He recently

00:37:49.670 --> 00:37:55.190
purchased a jet that's worth $65 million. He's

00:37:55.190 --> 00:38:02.949
on the hook at a jeweler for $1 .5 million. And

00:38:02.949 --> 00:38:08.849
he owes a real estate developer in New York about

00:38:08.849 --> 00:38:14.309
half a million. I can 100 % believe that Mayweather

00:38:14.309 --> 00:38:18.849
blew this money. Yes. But I can't believe that

00:38:18.849 --> 00:38:27.510
he didn't get it and didn't notice. Like, I know

00:38:27.510 --> 00:38:29.809
you're rich, but you're not so rich that you

00:38:29.809 --> 00:38:36.269
don't notice $300 million missing. Like, what

00:38:36.269 --> 00:38:41.010
the fuck? Yeah, so he's not, like, flat broke.

00:38:41.909 --> 00:38:47.320
He owns a lot of real estate. He owns some jewelry

00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:50.739
pieces that are like $20 to $50 million each.

00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:55.000
Yeah, he's not liquid, but I'm sure he has enough

00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:59.340
assets he could fix this. Yeah, he'd just have

00:38:59.340 --> 00:39:05.460
to downgrade his lifestyle. He's spending like

00:39:05.460 --> 00:39:09.420
he's still fighting twice a year for hundreds

00:39:09.420 --> 00:39:14.780
of millions. Yeah. Yeah, I have no problem believing

00:39:14.780 --> 00:39:18.659
he blew the money, but I just I don't see how

00:39:18.659 --> 00:39:21.219
he could possibly have not gotten the money and

00:39:21.219 --> 00:39:26.460
just didn't notice. Yeah. But we'll see how this

00:39:26.460 --> 00:39:30.699
develops still in the early stages. I expect

00:39:30.699 --> 00:39:33.340
I'm I kind of expect this is going to get laughed

00:39:33.340 --> 00:39:36.659
out of the courtroom. Like, get real, buddy.

00:39:37.219 --> 00:39:41.420
Well, and isn't. some of the um evidence he's

00:39:41.420 --> 00:39:45.119
submitting like social media tweets from rick

00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:54.739
glazer of all people yeah yeah taking start suing

00:39:54.739 --> 00:39:59.619
showtime and paramount for 340 million dollars

00:39:59.619 --> 00:40:06.420
on the word of rick glazer just that is a special

00:40:06.420 --> 00:40:12.280
level Of fucking dumb. Yeah, I can't see this

00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:15.639
actually making it through chords because I can't

00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:22.579
see it being true at all. But. We'll see how

00:40:22.579 --> 00:40:26.019
this turns out. I'm expecting Mayweather to come

00:40:26.019 --> 00:40:29.079
back in a couple exhibitions. He's what I'm expecting.

00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:32.440
He has a couple of exhibitions lined up. Does

00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:35.239
he? Yeah, Mike Tyson and some kickboxer guy.

00:40:37.670 --> 00:40:44.309
All right. Let me put some notes in here. Social

00:40:44.309 --> 00:40:49.710
media stuff. LVX Media Net. All one word. Fucking

00:40:49.710 --> 00:40:53.630
follow that shit. Wherever you are listening,

00:40:53.849 --> 00:40:56.449
if you could hit us with a rating, really helps

00:40:56.449 --> 00:41:00.269
move us up the accursed search algorithm. And

00:41:00.269 --> 00:41:02.429
if you're feeling a little extra, a review would

00:41:02.429 --> 00:41:07.070
not go amiss. If you would like a boxing calendar,

00:41:07.210 --> 00:41:10.869
if you'd like to see one that's pretty well put

00:41:10.869 --> 00:41:14.510
together, if I do say so myself, pretty thorough,

00:41:14.650 --> 00:41:19.750
you can go to lvxmedia .net and just scroll down,

00:41:19.849 --> 00:41:22.050
and it's right there. And while you're there,

00:41:22.150 --> 00:41:27.510
why don't you check out Josh's hit pieces on

00:41:27.510 --> 00:41:33.820
the Wayside Sports Review. So that's fun. Dandruff

00:41:33.820 --> 00:41:36.400
doesn't just affect your hair, it chips away

00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:38.440
at your confidence. But I'm here to tell you,

00:41:38.500 --> 00:41:40.940
it doesn't have to be this way. It's time to

00:41:40.940 --> 00:41:44.019
say bye to flakes with flakes. Flakes isn't a

00:41:44.019 --> 00:41:46.099
scented wash you get from the grocery store that

00:41:46.099 --> 00:41:49.219
just masks the problem. It's a powerful, medically

00:41:49.219 --> 00:41:51.840
formulated treatment designed to get to the root

00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:55.239
of the toughest dandruff. Flakes works fast to

00:41:55.239 --> 00:41:58.079
control the flaking, calm the itching, and soothe

00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:00.619
the redness that's on your scalp. And here's

00:42:00.619 --> 00:42:03.170
another pro tip. Flakes will also help with that

00:42:03.170 --> 00:42:06.530
stubborn beard gruff if you have that too. Imagine

00:42:06.530 --> 00:42:08.550
feeling completely free to wear whatever you

00:42:08.550 --> 00:42:11.570
want whenever you want to. Imagine just focusing

00:42:11.570 --> 00:42:14.469
on your day and not on your scalp. That's the

00:42:14.469 --> 00:42:18.389
difference that Flakes makes. Go to lvx .be slash

00:42:18.389 --> 00:42:20.829

00:42:20.829 --> 00:42:23.469
us out a little bit in the process. Don't settle

00:42:23.469 --> 00:42:25.710
for temporary fixes that smell like the produce

00:42:25.710 --> 00:42:28.389
section of your grocery store. Fight back with

00:42:28.389 --> 00:42:35.369
a shampoo that dermatologists trust. Do you have

00:42:35.369 --> 00:42:37.670
that nagging feeling of being exposed when you're

00:42:37.670 --> 00:42:40.789

00:43:46.809 --> 00:43:49.809
Yeah, sorry. No, these are good cards, so I didn't

00:43:49.809 --> 00:43:55.980
want to skip them. like um pro box tv on friday

00:43:55.980 --> 00:43:59.980
january 30th uh it was a pro box card it was

00:43:59.980 --> 00:44:02.460
a little bit more decision heavy than we're used

00:44:02.460 --> 00:44:08.019
to yeah it was still a solid card but we're spoiled

00:44:08.019 --> 00:44:09.960
with pro box that's exactly what i was gonna

00:44:09.960 --> 00:44:13.579
say is we've been spoiled by pro box so this

00:44:13.579 --> 00:44:18.590
one seems like a dud just by comparison Still

00:44:18.590 --> 00:44:21.349
a million times better than any Eye of the Tiger

00:44:21.349 --> 00:44:28.849
card that's ever happened. Yes. Let's see. Suleman

00:44:28.849 --> 00:44:33.530
Sagawa dropped the ball. My boy. To Rene Palacios.

00:44:34.369 --> 00:44:38.170
And Brian Flores, majority decision over Starling

00:44:38.170 --> 00:44:43.550
Castillo. Moving on. Saturday, January 31st.

00:44:44.510 --> 00:44:49.300
Did you see this one? I saw the main event later,

00:44:49.420 --> 00:44:53.980
but I missed everything else. Dina Torslund was

00:44:53.980 --> 00:44:58.519
as dominant as we expected. Excellent. I'm glad

00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:00.900
to hear it. I really like Dina. Yeah, she was

00:45:00.900 --> 00:45:06.699
good. And in the main event, Jakub Bank gets

00:45:06.699 --> 00:45:11.980
the stoppage in 12 over William Scholl. How shit

00:45:11.980 --> 00:45:17.940
is Canelo? That's what I was... Gonna bring up.

00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:21.300
I honestly feel like the stoppage was a little

00:45:21.300 --> 00:45:26.400
suspect. And I think that it was in the last

00:45:26.400 --> 00:45:30.360
15 seconds of the fight. I think that they did

00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:35.179
it so that Jakub Bank can say, I stopped the

00:45:35.179 --> 00:45:39.059
guy that Canelo couldn't. I do think Skull could

00:45:39.059 --> 00:45:42.739
have made the bell. Yes. I wouldn't have been

00:45:42.739 --> 00:45:45.539
mad if they hadn't stopped it. But it's also

00:45:45.539 --> 00:45:48.000
not the worst stoppage we've seen. No, it's not

00:45:48.000 --> 00:45:52.239
terrible, but... Yeah, yeah. I do kind of feel

00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:55.380
what you're saying. And I can see that point

00:45:55.380 --> 00:45:58.079
of view for sure. But I mean, Skull was losing

00:45:58.079 --> 00:46:02.659
on the cards anyways. And Yakubank did put a

00:46:02.659 --> 00:46:05.980
beating on William Skull that Canelo couldn't

00:46:05.980 --> 00:46:09.699
or didn't. Exactly. So either way, he did better.

00:46:10.679 --> 00:46:14.409
Yeah. Yakov Bank was cutting off the ring very

00:46:14.409 --> 00:46:18.309
nicely, I thought, actually. And Skull came in

00:46:18.309 --> 00:46:23.309
a tracksuit. We expected that, though. Yes, you're

00:46:23.309 --> 00:46:29.150
right. Or I expected that. But I think Bank looked

00:46:29.150 --> 00:46:32.269
pretty good. I will probably watch his next fight

00:46:32.269 --> 00:46:35.769
now. And he stopped William Skull when Canelo

00:46:35.769 --> 00:46:40.690
couldn't even really hit him very much. How shit

00:46:40.690 --> 00:46:45.969
is Canelo? Canelo is so washed. He never had

00:46:45.969 --> 00:46:49.409
great footwork, but now it's just kind of really

00:46:49.409 --> 00:46:55.550
bad. I think Jakub put it in better perspective

00:46:55.550 --> 00:46:59.230
for me personally. Seeing, like, this is what

00:46:59.230 --> 00:47:01.269
it looks like to cut off the ring against the

00:47:01.269 --> 00:47:04.650
guy who's planning to run the whole time. Yeah.

00:47:06.539 --> 00:47:11.360
And maybe it's because Bank had more film. Because

00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:13.940
I'd never heard a skull before Canelo. But if

00:47:13.940 --> 00:47:18.219
Canelo was as good as he... If Canelo was as

00:47:18.219 --> 00:47:21.380
good as he was, he should have been able to cut

00:47:21.380 --> 00:47:27.000
off the ring. This was for a secondary title

00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:33.500
in the WBO. So expect Jakub Bank to get the first

00:47:33.500 --> 00:47:37.559
crack at... The winner of Shiraz Begich. Which

00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:42.699
is probably Shiraz. I would assume so. I don't

00:47:42.699 --> 00:47:44.940
know how that fight goes. Because this is the

00:47:44.940 --> 00:47:47.880
only Yakov Bank fight I've ever seen. I don't

00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:52.219
know much about him. But. Shiraz is a mover.

00:47:53.159 --> 00:48:00.900
As well. Different kind of mover. He could move.

00:48:01.219 --> 00:48:04.840
Could be a mover. I don't know. I think he'd

00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:09.300
be down to trade with Bank. I don't know if that's

00:48:09.300 --> 00:48:13.519
a good idea. Yeah, Shrug. I don't know either.

00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:18.860
I'm interested to see that fight now. I don't

00:48:18.860 --> 00:48:23.000
know. The next generation of super middleweights

00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:25.860
is here. It's not my favorite weight class, but

00:48:25.860 --> 00:48:31.800
168 is getting interesting again. Speaking of

00:48:31.800 --> 00:48:36.559
interesting, Matchroom at the Newcastle Arena.

00:48:38.340 --> 00:48:41.440
Let's see. Leo Atang gets a stoppage in three.

00:48:41.940 --> 00:48:44.599
You do not have to change your name. Congratulations.

00:48:45.619 --> 00:48:50.400
Nice. Josh Padley, I spoiled this one for you.

00:48:51.659 --> 00:48:56.219
It's okay. I really did think that I was being

00:48:56.219 --> 00:48:59.820
vague with the... That was not vague at all,

00:48:59.900 --> 00:49:06.090
Leo. Oh, shit. Yeah, but... Electrifying stoppage

00:49:06.090 --> 00:49:12.349
over Jawad Belmedi. It was fast. I was still

00:49:12.349 --> 00:49:14.610
surprised at how quickly he knocked him out.

00:49:16.409 --> 00:49:20.050
I mean, Josh Padley's kind of getting me to come

00:49:20.050 --> 00:49:24.230
around on him. Yeah, he's shaping himself up

00:49:24.230 --> 00:49:28.119
to be a nice little contender here. Yeah, and

00:49:28.119 --> 00:49:31.719
his story is great, too. Yes. I love when working

00:49:31.719 --> 00:49:36.239
guys kind of make it. The People's Electrician.

00:49:36.719 --> 00:49:40.320
Yeah. Even though he's British, I kind of cheer

00:49:40.320 --> 00:49:43.400
for him anyway. I don't know if you've heard,

00:49:43.460 --> 00:49:45.780
just on B -Sides, we've been doing the Comrades

00:49:45.780 --> 00:49:49.280
thing a bit lately. Yeah, yeah, I always listen

00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:52.420
to B -Sides, partly just to make sure we don't

00:49:52.420 --> 00:49:56.829
overlap too much. The comrades thing is funny,

00:49:56.949 --> 00:50:01.610
but I will not be joining. Josh Kelly. I don't

00:50:01.610 --> 00:50:04.489
get why it's comrades if you're Chinese. I don't

00:50:04.489 --> 00:50:05.550
know. Isn't that Russian? It's because you're

00:50:05.550 --> 00:50:13.429
communist. Okay. That's what I gather. I see.

00:50:14.269 --> 00:50:23.670
Josh Kelly squeaks by. I was surprised. I expected

00:50:23.670 --> 00:50:28.650
Kelly to lose. I did too. I thought Kelly was

00:50:28.650 --> 00:50:33.610
selling whatever little shine he had to a champion

00:50:33.610 --> 00:50:37.429
that desperately needs to be... Some shine? Yes.

00:50:38.590 --> 00:50:42.510
Who needs some credibility. Yeah, and that just

00:50:42.510 --> 00:50:45.429
didn't happen. Like, good on Josh Kelly. I was

00:50:45.429 --> 00:50:47.929
not expecting him to really even be in this fight.

00:50:49.070 --> 00:50:51.570
I knew he'd come to try and win, but I didn't

00:50:51.570 --> 00:50:54.750
expect him to pull it off. I think this kind

00:50:54.750 --> 00:50:58.610
of kills Murda. I don't think we'll see him again

00:50:58.610 --> 00:51:04.909
in anything big. I don't know if I would misspoke

00:51:04.909 --> 00:51:08.389
on B -sides when I said I hope that he's not

00:51:08.389 --> 00:51:11.710
a very good watch, but he was pretty damn fun

00:51:11.710 --> 00:51:17.869
against him. Yeah, I think Murda Zaliev can be

00:51:17.869 --> 00:51:21.150
fun, but he falls into that very Eastern European

00:51:21.150 --> 00:51:27.699
style. that I find not so fun. Yeah. Josh Kelly

00:51:27.699 --> 00:51:31.159
pulled him into a fun fight in this one. Like,

00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:33.340
this fight was a banger. I really enjoyed this

00:51:33.340 --> 00:51:39.559
fight. And I guess I gotta watch Josh Kelly now,

00:51:39.739 --> 00:51:45.920
which kind of sucks. Bokrum is petitioning to

00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:51.599
the IBF for the rematch. Yeah, and the controversy

00:51:51.599 --> 00:51:56.920
with the cards. Yeah. The British scoring or

00:51:56.920 --> 00:52:01.639
whatever. Yeah, so... Who was the British guy?

00:52:01.699 --> 00:52:07.519
Steve Gray? No, that's the ref. It's a judge

00:52:07.519 --> 00:52:12.019
whose name I recognize. Anyways, he had it 10

00:52:12.019 --> 00:52:15.659
-10 in the 12th. And that was Steve Gray. You're

00:52:15.659 --> 00:52:20.019
right. Okay, yeah, yeah. Which... gave josh kelly

00:52:20.019 --> 00:52:24.440
the win 10 10 rounds are bullshit across the

00:52:24.440 --> 00:52:28.559
board i don't like them but uh i kind of thought

00:52:28.559 --> 00:52:31.579
the 12th was a murder round myself and one of

00:52:31.579 --> 00:52:33.659
the judges had it for him but the other judge

00:52:33.659 --> 00:52:37.199
had it for josh kelly so the 10 10 isn't that

00:52:37.199 --> 00:52:40.340
controversial other than it's a 10 10 and it

00:52:40.340 --> 00:52:43.860
decided the fucking outcome of the fight like

00:52:43.860 --> 00:52:48.860
yeah i we need to have a conversation with the

00:52:48.860 --> 00:52:54.300
brits and their fascination with 10 10s that

00:52:54.300 --> 00:52:58.460
uh statement they put out from the american combat

00:52:58.460 --> 00:53:01.639
conference or whatever the hell it was called

00:53:01.639 --> 00:53:05.659
yeah that was a hundred percent uh kind of like

00:53:05.659 --> 00:53:09.920
slap to the brits saying no 10 10 rounds because

00:53:09.920 --> 00:53:13.940
they hardly ever happen in america anyways That

00:53:13.940 --> 00:53:17.179
was a very not subtle way of telling the Brits

00:53:17.179 --> 00:53:19.800
that they're bullshit. And then this happened

00:53:19.800 --> 00:53:28.340
shortly after. Josh Kelly is in talks with Xander

00:53:28.340 --> 00:53:32.599
Zayas right now. That's what they're looking

00:53:32.599 --> 00:53:37.000
to do. I mean, I kinda agree that Murda deserves

00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:39.539
a rematch. I think so too, given how close it

00:53:39.539 --> 00:53:44.150
was. Yeah, but the Josh Kelly -Zayas is a bigger

00:53:44.150 --> 00:53:50.630
fight, I think. Oh, definitely. Marta Zaliev

00:53:50.630 --> 00:53:55.570
is not a very marketable fighter. Even though

00:53:55.570 --> 00:54:01.130
this fight was a banger, I don't think anyone

00:54:01.130 --> 00:54:03.969
cares about Marta Zaliev, which is a mean thing

00:54:03.969 --> 00:54:08.530
to say, but he's nobody's favorite fighter. Yeah,

00:54:08.570 --> 00:54:10.610
he's probably not even his mom's favorite fighter.

00:54:12.269 --> 00:54:18.929
As the saying goes. Yeah. But I did kind of put

00:54:18.929 --> 00:54:20.789
this as an early fight of the year candidate.

00:54:21.590 --> 00:54:26.329
Yeah. It's on my list now. Yeah, let's get to

00:54:26.329 --> 00:54:31.070
Xander Zayas here. In San Juan, Puerto Rico,

00:54:31.190 --> 00:54:37.670
really quickly, Juanmita Lopez gets a UD. With

00:54:37.670 --> 00:54:41.570
Conor Goad. They were calling him Little Canelo.

00:54:41.750 --> 00:54:46.730
Just because he was a redhead. Alright. I was

00:54:46.730 --> 00:54:50.909
expecting a stoppage win. Just because he had

00:54:50.909 --> 00:54:56.289
him in trouble a few times. Oh well. It was only

00:54:56.289 --> 00:55:01.289
his fifth fight. What are you going to do? Giovanni

00:55:01.289 --> 00:55:04.769
Santillan gets a UD over Courtney Pennington.

00:55:05.730 --> 00:55:11.349
And... Xander Zayas, split decision win over

00:55:11.349 --> 00:55:15.969
Abbas Baru to unify the WBO, WBA, Super World's

00:55:15.969 --> 00:55:22.849
Week titles. Yeah. Eight to four for Baru? I

00:55:22.849 --> 00:55:25.670
don't know about that. That card was pretty out

00:55:25.670 --> 00:55:28.329
there. I was cheering for Baru, and when they

00:55:28.329 --> 00:55:30.769
announced that card, I was like, what the fuck?

00:55:32.969 --> 00:55:35.429
Zayas definitely won that fight. Absolutely.

00:55:36.039 --> 00:55:39.420
Yeah. And he looked pretty good in it, actually.

00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:46.380
Yeah, the maturation of Xander Zayas is unfolding

00:55:46.380 --> 00:55:52.239
before our eyes. The guys think that these titles

00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:56.420
are now going to be held hostage by Top Rank.

00:55:56.420 --> 00:56:01.800
I mean, if he fights Josh Kelly, that's a pretty

00:56:01.800 --> 00:56:05.329
dangerous fight. That is a damn good fight. Yeah,

00:56:05.369 --> 00:56:09.710
I mean, Zayas should win it, but I would not

00:56:09.710 --> 00:56:12.510
consider that holding the belts hostage. That's

00:56:12.510 --> 00:56:17.809
a dangerous opponent. Yeah, that's what they

00:56:17.809 --> 00:56:24.010
came down with, was we're not going to see Zayas

00:56:24.010 --> 00:56:30.550
in anything relevant or notable. And he's 23

00:56:30.550 --> 00:56:36.119
now, not until he's almost 30. I mean, that's

00:56:36.119 --> 00:56:39.519
a possibility. Top Rank really does lock shit

00:56:39.519 --> 00:56:43.699
down. They protect their guys, yeah. Yeah. But

00:56:43.699 --> 00:56:45.800
if he takes the Kelly fight, I can't be mad.

00:56:46.360 --> 00:56:49.760
It's a good one. Yeah. I guess we'll have to

00:56:49.760 --> 00:56:53.559
wait and see. I wonder if Top Rank will have

00:56:53.559 --> 00:56:55.860
more trouble doing that now that they don't have

00:56:55.860 --> 00:57:00.219
a broadcast home. Ooh, you're right. Like...

00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:02.699
They're going to have to put their guys against

00:57:02.699 --> 00:57:08.000
other guys to get on TV. And Josh Kelly, I'm

00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:10.900
sure Eddie Hearn is fucking foaming at the mouth

00:57:10.900 --> 00:57:14.980
for that one. Yeah. I think it's going to be

00:57:14.980 --> 00:57:17.239
a lot harder for Top Rank to protect their guys

00:57:17.239 --> 00:57:25.079
now that they don't have a home. Let's keep rolling.

00:57:25.360 --> 00:57:30.099
Ring six, Madison Square Garden. Let's... We

00:57:30.099 --> 00:57:33.099
have quite a bit that was worth mentioning here.

00:57:33.760 --> 00:57:38.760
Amma Williams gets a funky decision against Wendy

00:57:38.760 --> 00:57:41.860
Toussaint, who came in on like 12 hours notice.

00:57:42.559 --> 00:57:46.280
Yeah. Didn't manage to get the stoppage. That

00:57:46.280 --> 00:57:51.360
raises some serious question marks. If you didn't

00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:55.400
have them already. Wendy's always there to win.

00:57:55.559 --> 00:58:00.429
He's tough, yeah, for sure. But... 12 hours notice

00:58:00.429 --> 00:58:02.250
and you can't get the guy out of there, that's

00:58:02.250 --> 00:58:09.769
crazy. Kevin Castillo gets the UD over Saudi

00:58:09.769 --> 00:58:15.789
plant Ziad Almayouf. This was good for my heart.

00:58:15.949 --> 00:58:20.289
Fantastic. That was just fantastic. Where can

00:58:20.289 --> 00:58:29.500
I send Kevin Castillo flowers? Oh, shit. Jarrell

00:58:29.500 --> 00:58:36.980
Miller loses his hair en route to a split decision

00:58:36.980 --> 00:58:40.980
win over Kingsley Ebay. This is the best thing

00:58:40.980 --> 00:58:43.300
that's ever happened to Jarrell Miller. Yes,

00:58:43.300 --> 00:58:45.860
it is. Wasn't he on Jimmy Kimmel after this?

00:58:46.000 --> 00:58:49.920
That's crazy. Yeah, everybody wanted a piece

00:58:49.920 --> 00:58:54.460
of him. Also, whoever his hairdresser person

00:58:54.460 --> 00:58:58.389
is, they failed. Because there are definitely

00:58:58.389 --> 00:59:00.750
people that can glue those wigs on that would

00:59:00.750 --> 00:59:04.170
stay. It's not like he had really long hair or

00:59:04.170 --> 00:59:13.650
anything. I... I was saying, like, after it happened,

00:59:14.010 --> 00:59:19.550
I was like, why not just go bald, dude? No one

00:59:19.550 --> 00:59:24.510
cares. I will never make fun of men for wearing

00:59:24.510 --> 00:59:30.010
wigs. If it makes you feel good, do it. But whoever

00:59:30.010 --> 00:59:32.969
put that on fucked him over because I've definitely

00:59:32.969 --> 00:59:38.449
seen some crazy ones online. I got into a reels

00:59:38.449 --> 00:59:44.590
hole with this two profiles that do hair for

00:59:44.590 --> 00:59:48.090
men like that. And shit, some of them, like...

00:59:48.429 --> 00:59:51.010
You wear them for two weeks. You shower. The

00:59:51.010 --> 00:59:53.329
one guy was a surfer and he had like the long

00:59:53.329 --> 00:59:55.929
surf hair and he'd go out in the ocean. And it

00:59:55.929 --> 01:00:00.730
like people were saying, why did you think it

01:00:00.730 --> 01:00:03.469
would stay on? It should have stayed on. They

01:00:03.469 --> 01:00:07.650
have gotten really good at toupees. So his particular

01:00:07.650 --> 01:00:12.309
vendor did not do a good job. No, but there's

01:00:12.309 --> 01:00:17.980
this lady that is amazing. Anyways, beside the

01:00:17.980 --> 01:00:20.760
point. But passing it around the crowd, taking

01:00:20.760 --> 01:00:23.340
pictures. Hilarious. He played it off really

01:00:23.340 --> 01:00:27.360
well. The fucking, I accidentally used Nair at

01:00:27.360 --> 01:00:31.179
my mom's house. That was crazy. Bro, nobody's

01:00:31.179 --> 01:00:34.380
believing that. Just, yeah, you're right. If

01:00:34.380 --> 01:00:36.719
he wants to use a hairpiece, fucking use a hairpiece.

01:00:37.280 --> 01:00:39.400
I really don't think men should get shit for

01:00:39.400 --> 01:00:42.500
that. No. It's very equivalent. Well, lots of

01:00:42.500 --> 01:00:46.050
women wear wigs. Or fake hair or whatever. Like

01:00:46.050 --> 01:00:48.849
they add to their natural hair. I don't think

01:00:48.849 --> 01:00:56.030
it should be a big deal. Big deals. Bruce Carrington

01:00:56.030 --> 01:01:02.349
stops Carlos Castro in nine. Fucking KO of the

01:01:02.349 --> 01:01:07.349
year contender. That was the nicest three -piece

01:01:07.349 --> 01:01:10.690
combo I have ever seen. Like that clip is crazy.

01:01:11.800 --> 01:01:15.719
I'm not a big Shushu fan, but that was beautiful.

01:01:18.099 --> 01:01:22.840
Yeah, I was talking to the guys. I was saying,

01:01:22.900 --> 01:01:26.800
like, one thing that stood out to me after in

01:01:26.800 --> 01:01:33.420
rethinking on the fight is how much trouble Carlos

01:01:33.420 --> 01:01:37.780
Castro gave Bruce Carrington. Because he buzzed

01:01:37.780 --> 01:01:42.110
him more than once. And he was hitting him pretty

01:01:42.110 --> 01:01:47.570
cleanly, pretty often. And what I feel needs

01:01:47.570 --> 01:01:52.309
to stop is this talk of Bruce Carrington fucking

01:01:52.309 --> 01:01:58.670
mogs Inouye. Yeah, no. That talk needs to stop.

01:01:59.289 --> 01:02:02.869
That's fucking stupid. If Inouye hits Carrington

01:02:02.869 --> 01:02:06.800
like that, and he would. It's over. Exactly.

01:02:07.039 --> 01:02:10.519
I know Inouye doesn't have the same power at

01:02:10.519 --> 01:02:18.940
this weight class, but come on. Bruce Carrington

01:02:18.940 --> 01:02:25.099
now joins the ranks of Angelo Leo, Rafaela Spinoza.

01:02:27.599 --> 01:02:32.579
Damn it, I'm blanking. Oh, yeah, we'll be talking

01:02:32.579 --> 01:02:35.309
about it in a little bit. Brandon Figueroa now.

01:02:36.369 --> 01:02:43.190
Yeah. I don't think Carrington beats any of those

01:02:43.190 --> 01:02:46.630
guys, to be honest. But maybe I'm just a hater.

01:02:46.769 --> 01:02:49.329
If he beats anyone, it's honestly going to be

01:02:49.329 --> 01:02:53.449
Figueroa. Figueroa, yeah. Yeah, Figueroa is a

01:02:53.449 --> 01:02:56.110
bit of a question mark. That's just me playing

01:02:56.110 --> 01:02:59.349
favorites. I would like to see that fight, actually.

01:02:59.369 --> 01:03:03.500
I think it'd be good. Yeah, be the first time

01:03:03.500 --> 01:03:06.840
we see a unification at Featherweight in quite

01:03:06.840 --> 01:03:13.000
some time. Yeah. Keeping it rolling, Keyshawn

01:03:13.000 --> 01:03:18.380
Davis stops Jermaine Ortiz just near the end

01:03:18.380 --> 01:03:25.440
of the 12th round. Saul was really, really big

01:03:25.440 --> 01:03:29.139
on this one. Really loved Keyshawn Davis' performance.

01:03:30.079 --> 01:03:34.030
I'm still not... that high on it. I don't know.

01:03:34.050 --> 01:03:35.969
I feel like this could have been done sooner.

01:03:37.429 --> 01:03:40.849
I just don't like Keyshawn Davis anymore. I was

01:03:40.849 --> 01:03:43.510
never a huge fan and all that bullshit last year

01:03:43.510 --> 01:03:48.010
really turned me off. I can't be unbiased on

01:03:48.010 --> 01:03:49.630
this one. I don't think he looked that good,

01:03:49.710 --> 01:03:57.050
though. Yeah. I mean, Jermaine Ortiz is kind

01:03:57.050 --> 01:04:04.150
of a name, but not really. He gave... Well, he

01:04:04.150 --> 01:04:07.889
threw his fight, to use Josh's phrase, he threw

01:04:07.889 --> 01:04:11.329
his fights away late. Like, he was giving Teofimo

01:04:11.329 --> 01:04:15.010
good work, and then he just shit the bed. And

01:04:15.010 --> 01:04:18.510
then same with Lomachenko. Lomachenko turning

01:04:18.510 --> 01:04:21.829
it up in addition to Jermaine shitting the bed.

01:04:23.449 --> 01:04:26.070
Yeah, well, and the stoppage came late this time,

01:04:26.110 --> 01:04:35.929
too. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, shit. Shakur Stevenson claims

01:04:35.929 --> 01:04:42.190
the WBO super lightweight title by 11 -1 -ing

01:04:42.190 --> 01:04:47.210
Teofimo Lopez. Yeah, this was just a fucking

01:04:47.210 --> 01:04:53.090
masterclass beatdown. Shakur owned him. Yeah.

01:04:54.230 --> 01:04:57.590
I kind of thought it might happen, but I thought

01:04:57.590 --> 01:05:00.530
Teo would put up more of a fight. I thought Teo

01:05:00.530 --> 01:05:07.039
would do better. and lose but and shakur his

01:05:07.039 --> 01:05:09.780
last couple fights have been fun i have to say

01:05:09.780 --> 01:05:13.579
he has changed his style to where i don't hate

01:05:13.579 --> 01:05:17.920
watching him now so i gotta give shakur his props

01:05:17.920 --> 01:05:22.420
he does seem to be trying to to be more entertaining

01:05:22.420 --> 01:05:27.860
and he just looked miles above tio in this one

01:05:27.860 --> 01:05:33.820
and Yeah, it was just, it was crazy impressive.

01:05:35.099 --> 01:05:41.260
It certainly doesn't help for, to, when you're

01:05:41.260 --> 01:05:44.400
facing an opponent like Shakur Stevenson, who

01:05:44.400 --> 01:05:48.739
is just that damn good. Yeah. When you have absolutely

01:05:48.739 --> 01:05:55.659
no corner. Oh my God. His, his dad needs to die.

01:05:56.199 --> 01:05:59.119
Like, I don't say that very often. I'm usually

01:05:59.119 --> 01:06:01.679
like, they need to go away. But his dad just

01:06:01.679 --> 01:06:06.820
straight up needs to die. Like, he gave him no

01:06:06.820 --> 01:06:09.719
advice in the corner. In fact, he made it worse.

01:06:10.099 --> 01:06:13.199
Like, the only thing he kept saying near the

01:06:13.199 --> 01:06:16.760
end is you're gonna hate yourself tomorrow. Like,

01:06:16.780 --> 01:06:22.099
no actionable advice at all. Hit him. Like, what

01:06:22.099 --> 01:06:23.699
the fuck are you doing? Do better. Fuck him up,

01:06:23.719 --> 01:06:27.670
bro. Yeah, absolutely useless. And then the interview

01:06:27.670 --> 01:06:30.489
afterwards where he's saying his son didn't follow

01:06:30.489 --> 01:06:34.190
his advice. What fucking advice? You gave him

01:06:34.190 --> 01:06:40.630
zero advice. Like, I was cheering for Tio entirely

01:06:40.630 --> 01:06:44.150
because I feel bad for Tio. Like, Tio is my...

01:06:44.679 --> 01:06:49.559
pity cheer and this just made it even worse like

01:06:49.559 --> 01:06:53.139
jesus christ if that's what he says on tv and

01:06:53.139 --> 01:06:56.300
what he says in the public the fuck is he saying

01:06:56.300 --> 01:07:02.079
to him at home like he was just a poor little

01:07:02.079 --> 01:07:07.239
kid like i know he's not a kid anymore but mentally

01:07:07.239 --> 01:07:09.559
he's just a poor little kid who wants his dad

01:07:09.559 --> 01:07:16.280
to be happy with him yeah i don't know like Tio's

01:07:16.280 --> 01:07:21.579
dad just is an awful person Shakur's corner was

01:07:21.579 --> 01:07:23.960
giving him much better advice and he was fucking

01:07:23.960 --> 01:07:28.019
owning the fight like they were still giving

01:07:28.019 --> 01:07:33.519
him actionable advice yeah like I don't know

01:07:33.519 --> 01:07:37.340
it wouldn't make any difference like I don't

01:07:37.340 --> 01:07:39.500
think having a good corner would have saved Tio

01:07:39.500 --> 01:07:45.119
but Tio needs Somebody who can actually. Help

01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:49.199
him. He's in there alone. Fighting by himself.

01:07:50.039 --> 01:07:53.579
And he's in there. Being told he's a piece of

01:07:53.579 --> 01:07:57.320
shit. Like that can't be good. For your mental

01:07:57.320 --> 01:08:06.719
health. In the fight. When. Sean Porter. Fought

01:08:06.719 --> 01:08:13.579
Terrence Crawford. Porter was. Owning the early

01:08:13.579 --> 01:08:16.380
rounds on activity, and then Terrence Crawford

01:08:16.380 --> 01:08:19.739
started doing what he does. And it was lights

01:08:19.739 --> 01:08:26.960
after that. And then Kenny Porter, who is his

01:08:26.960 --> 01:08:31.659
dad, Sean's dad and his coach, was saying kind

01:08:31.659 --> 01:08:35.060
of the same things. Like, he didn't listen to

01:08:35.060 --> 01:08:40.260
me. He didn't have a plan. He wasn't working

01:08:40.260 --> 01:08:45.180
hard in the gym. And I was like, man, I would

01:08:45.180 --> 01:08:48.779
very much like for you to be hit by a car. Yeah,

01:08:48.840 --> 01:08:52.840
like, I love my dad, but if he said something

01:08:52.840 --> 01:08:54.760
like that to me, I would just straight up punch

01:08:54.760 --> 01:08:58.960
him in the face. Like, what the fuck? For Tio

01:08:58.960 --> 01:09:03.939
Senior to be making the press rounds saying he

01:09:03.939 --> 01:09:06.579
didn't have a game plan. Like, bitch, you're

01:09:06.579 --> 01:09:09.100
the coach. That's your fucking job. Your job

01:09:09.100 --> 01:09:12.439
is to formulate the game plan with your fighter.

01:09:12.920 --> 01:09:16.960
And help him in the ring and help him adjust

01:09:16.960 --> 01:09:21.199
with actual advice that he can follow. It doesn't

01:09:21.199 --> 01:09:26.220
have to be like fucking profound, but I don't

01:09:26.220 --> 01:09:29.020
know, like more lateral movement or when you

01:09:29.020 --> 01:09:31.460
pull back, make sure you don't leave your chin

01:09:31.460 --> 01:09:35.760
up or all those things that people say. Fucking

01:09:35.760 --> 01:09:37.960
any of it would have been better than you're

01:09:37.960 --> 01:09:41.060
going to hate yourself tomorrow. Yeah, I fucking

01:09:41.060 --> 01:09:45.180
hate you, Tio Fimo Sr. I hate you right now.

01:09:45.979 --> 01:09:51.500
Like, I don't know. Shakur looked amazing. Better

01:09:51.500 --> 01:09:55.319
than I expected. And Tio's corner made me really,

01:09:55.380 --> 01:09:59.800
really sad. It's kind of my summary of this fight.

01:10:00.760 --> 01:10:07.119
I feel so bad for Tio. Yeah. Let's keep it rolling.

01:10:07.359 --> 01:10:14.239
Sunday, February 1st, Zufa Boxing 2. This was

01:10:14.239 --> 01:10:19.460
unfortunately a very fun card. The prelims were

01:10:19.460 --> 01:10:23.680
eh, whatevs. I didn't watch the prelims, to be

01:10:23.680 --> 01:10:28.340
honest. But Hot Rod Kalachik stops Oleksandr

01:10:28.340 --> 01:10:33.399
Vozdik in seven. This fight was fun. This is

01:10:33.399 --> 01:10:36.359
my kind of fight. Yeah. I like Hot Rod. I'm glad

01:10:36.359 --> 01:10:39.539
he won, actually. Got off the canvas to nuke

01:10:39.539 --> 01:10:42.840
Vosdik, who was kind of cruising at that point.

01:10:43.520 --> 01:10:49.859
Yeah. A pretty good comeback, yeah. Sergei Bohachuk.

01:10:50.520 --> 01:10:58.279
Split decision over Ratsabutaev. Klobbers. Two

01:10:58.279 --> 01:11:03.449
Klobbers. Yeah, the vintage Sergei. I mean, this

01:11:03.449 --> 01:11:06.069
is why I love him. He just stands in there and

01:11:06.069 --> 01:11:13.470
bangs. And a bloody Jose Valenzuela beauty over

01:11:13.470 --> 01:11:22.210
Diego Torres. Yeah, this one was also fun, but

01:11:22.210 --> 01:11:29.069
Valenzuela clearly just won that fight. Diego

01:11:29.069 --> 01:11:31.149
Torres was in there the whole time trying to

01:11:31.149 --> 01:11:34.130
win. Even though he was way behind, he was coming

01:11:34.130 --> 01:11:39.149
out trying. Bless his heart. I mean, that's what

01:11:39.149 --> 01:11:42.750
you want. Yeah. I don't hate you for losing.

01:11:42.890 --> 01:11:49.050
I hate you for quitting. I don't want to give

01:11:49.050 --> 01:11:52.829
Zufa more time. They have more shit coming up.

01:11:54.250 --> 01:11:57.289
I still want to shit on the stupid fucking uniform.

01:11:57.489 --> 01:12:04.149
It's garbage, and I hate it. Yes. Moving on.

01:12:04.210 --> 01:12:07.590
Friday, February 6th. This was a pretty nothing

01:12:07.590 --> 01:12:13.409
card matchroom in Mexico. Christian Medina in

01:12:13.409 --> 01:12:16.750
the headline gets a UD over Adrian Curiel to

01:12:16.750 --> 01:12:21.750
retain his WBO bantamweight title. Other than

01:12:21.750 --> 01:12:25.710
that... Yeah, this card was kind of a dud. Not

01:12:25.710 --> 01:12:33.449
a whole lot doing. Saturday, February 7th. This

01:12:33.449 --> 01:12:38.770
undercard, I don't really think there was anything.

01:12:39.350 --> 01:12:43.170
The co -main, Andrew Cain, gets a stoppage in

01:12:43.170 --> 01:12:48.430
nine over Alejandro Gonzalez. Andrew Cain will

01:12:48.430 --> 01:12:54.340
be relevant in a moment. Brandon Figueroa stops

01:12:54.340 --> 01:13:00.020
Nick Ball in the 12th. What a stoppage. How the

01:13:00.020 --> 01:13:02.340
fuck did Nick Ball get up from the first one?

01:13:02.880 --> 01:13:08.039
Yeah. I gotta give Nick Ball all the credit because

01:13:08.039 --> 01:13:11.680
he was looking beat to fuck. I think it was at

01:13:11.680 --> 01:13:14.060
the end of round 7 before the start of round

01:13:14.060 --> 01:13:16.460
8. I was like, dude, you look like a zombie.

01:13:17.520 --> 01:13:20.340
Like, Nick Ball was just getting beat up and

01:13:21.000 --> 01:13:24.039
Nick Ball's one of those guys, he is not gonna

01:13:24.039 --> 01:13:28.199
stop trying. Like, I don't particularly like

01:13:28.199 --> 01:13:31.500
him. I think he fights a little dirty, but I

01:13:31.500 --> 01:13:35.060
gotta give it, he has so much heart. Like, Nick

01:13:35.060 --> 01:13:40.159
Ball's got that dog in him. Definitely. It was

01:13:40.159 --> 01:13:44.859
weird. Well, I don't know if weird is... Going

01:13:44.859 --> 01:13:48.420
into the 12th round and coming out with a knockout...

01:13:49.050 --> 01:13:51.130
We were talking about it, like, leading up to

01:13:51.130 --> 01:13:55.550
it, leading up to the fight, thinking Figueroa

01:13:55.550 --> 01:13:58.369
has to win this by stoppage, because he's not

01:13:58.369 --> 01:14:03.189
going to get the nod in Liverpool. I also was

01:14:03.189 --> 01:14:07.250
feeling that way, yeah. And the cards at the

01:14:07.250 --> 01:14:11.590
time of the stoppage, too, had Figueroa up. Yeah,

01:14:11.649 --> 01:14:15.069
I think he should have been. It was a really

01:14:15.069 --> 01:14:16.869
close fight. Yeah, I thought it was super close.

01:14:17.770 --> 01:14:21.689
But I also had Figueroa up by like one or two

01:14:21.689 --> 01:14:25.350
rounds going into the 12th. I think one round.

01:14:25.909 --> 01:14:29.630
But I was surprised that the UK judges were so

01:14:29.630 --> 01:14:34.750
fair. Yeah. Also, who was the referee in this

01:14:34.750 --> 01:14:41.810
one? Because he wanted to... Yeah, okay. I thought

01:14:41.810 --> 01:14:43.649
it was Steve Gray. He wanted to see a fucking

01:14:43.649 --> 01:14:47.569
body. Like. When Nick Ball went down face down.

01:14:47.710 --> 01:14:51.609
After looking so tired and beat up. Just fucking

01:14:51.609 --> 01:14:55.550
stop it. And he gave him a long count. Had him

01:14:55.550 --> 01:14:58.850
do like a couple things. I'm like dude. He is

01:14:58.850 --> 01:15:03.149
out. Like. He was on his feet. But he was out.

01:15:03.829 --> 01:15:07.029
And he sent him to go get fucking plastered.

01:15:08.050 --> 01:15:14.170
Well you can't. British. the Brit fighter against

01:15:14.170 --> 01:15:18.390
the foreigner. Yeah, that's true, I guess. Only

01:15:18.390 --> 01:15:22.289
the foreigner can be Brit -stopped. Fair, fair.

01:15:23.170 --> 01:15:25.569
I thought Brandon Figueroa looked good, though.

01:15:25.609 --> 01:15:27.630
He hasn't looked great in his last few fights.

01:15:28.050 --> 01:15:30.770
I thought this was a much better performance

01:15:30.770 --> 01:15:35.210
than his last one. And Figueroa was eating some

01:15:35.210 --> 01:15:38.789
pretty clean uppercuts. I was a little impressed

01:15:38.789 --> 01:15:44.159
with his chin. I thought the War of Attrition

01:15:44.159 --> 01:15:46.920
was going to happen. I honestly thought Nick

01:15:46.920 --> 01:15:49.520
Ball was going to survive it. Just because Brandon

01:15:49.520 --> 01:15:52.560
Figueroa has been through a more difficult career

01:15:52.560 --> 01:15:57.140
so far. Yeah. I thought Nick Ball would be able

01:15:57.140 --> 01:16:01.319
to pull it out. This was a fun fight, though.

01:16:01.359 --> 01:16:03.619
If anyone missed it, it's worth a watch. For

01:16:03.619 --> 01:16:10.439
sure. Just with... Because it was in the UK,

01:16:10.680 --> 01:16:15.779
with it being as close as it was, I expected

01:16:15.779 --> 01:16:19.039
that all of the rounds would be swayed to Nick

01:16:19.039 --> 01:16:24.939
Ball instead. Let's see. Marcus McDonald is from

01:16:24.939 --> 01:16:31.500
the UK. Jean -Robert Lane is from Monaco. And

01:16:31.500 --> 01:16:37.949
Glenn Feldman is from the US. Interesting. I

01:16:37.949 --> 01:16:40.909
had no problem with any of the cards at the stoppage.

01:16:41.050 --> 01:16:47.210
I thought it was judged quite fairly. Yeah. Yeah,

01:16:47.229 --> 01:16:54.789
the 103 -106 on Feldman and McDonald, both...

01:16:54.789 --> 01:16:58.289
So even the Brit judge had it to Figueroa. Yeah.

01:16:58.449 --> 01:17:01.850
All right. Yeah, this was as even keel as you

01:17:01.850 --> 01:17:06.109
can get. But Steve Gray wanted Nick Ball to fucking

01:17:06.109 --> 01:17:15.210
die. Well, Brandon Figueroa, you got yourself

01:17:15.210 --> 01:17:21.390
a title. Two divisions now. They were saying

01:17:21.390 --> 01:17:23.430
three division on the broadcast for whatever

01:17:23.430 --> 01:17:28.229
reason. It's a little weird. I don't know if

01:17:28.229 --> 01:17:29.970
they were doing that thing I do. I sometimes

01:17:29.970 --> 01:17:33.140
mix up Figueroa and Fundora. They don't look

01:17:33.140 --> 01:17:37.600
alike at all, but they're both tall and their

01:17:37.600 --> 01:17:42.699
names start with F. Yeah. That's all it is. You

01:17:42.699 --> 01:17:48.399
have anything more for Figueroa Ball? I liked

01:17:48.399 --> 01:17:52.399
Figueroa's shorts. Very late 80s, early 90s.

01:17:52.420 --> 01:17:59.300
I enjoyed it. Zufa could never. Exactly. Let's

Now, into the upcoming stuff. Thursday, February

01:20:58.600 --> 01:21:02.479
19th. I don't know who these people are, except

01:21:02.479 --> 01:21:09.899
for Jin Sasaki. Yes. I think I know who Kai Watanabe

01:21:09.899 --> 01:21:17.199
is, but not worth talking about. Yeah, honestly,

01:21:17.479 --> 01:21:20.619
even Jin Sasaki's comeback fight is not really

01:21:20.619 --> 01:21:25.340
worth talking about. I think it's fine. I mean,

01:21:25.380 --> 01:21:28.920
it's definitely a soft touch comeback fight.

01:21:29.460 --> 01:21:38.539
Marlon Pagalpalan. Yeah. Excellent. Saturday,

01:21:39.479 --> 01:21:44.789
February 21st. I'm so excited for this one. For

01:21:44.789 --> 01:21:50.390
Matchroom? Yeah. At the Nottingham Arena. What

01:21:50.390 --> 01:21:56.130
do we got here? Dave Allen against TBA. Meatball

01:21:56.130 --> 01:22:03.609
Molly McCann is back. Sandy Ryan for a vacant

01:22:03.609 --> 01:22:09.770
title. Ishmael Davis, I think, is defending his

01:22:09.770 --> 01:22:16.350
British title. And Leewood versus Josh Warrington.

01:22:17.470 --> 01:22:21.189
I want Leewood to knock out Josh Warrington so

01:22:21.189 --> 01:22:27.090
badly. Anything to end the Warrington. Just send

01:22:27.090 --> 01:22:32.890
him home. Please. Forever. Yes. I do not want

01:22:32.890 --> 01:22:36.510
him fighting anymore. I don't know why I'm so

01:22:36.510 --> 01:22:40.930
excited for this one. But I have been excited

01:22:40.930 --> 01:22:46.090
for this since they announced it. It is top level

01:22:46.090 --> 01:22:52.409
Brit slob. Yes, it is the not cream of the crop.

01:22:52.489 --> 01:22:56.390
It's the fucking cream of the slop. Yeah. Excellent.

01:22:57.130 --> 01:22:59.630
I'm excited. Lee would better land that right

01:22:59.630 --> 01:23:05.750
hand or I'm going to be so sad. Hmm. The ring.

01:23:05.970 --> 01:23:14.000
High stakes. Since on the zone in Vegas. We talked

01:23:14.000 --> 01:23:16.960
about this card before when it was like a few

01:23:16.960 --> 01:23:20.159
weeks ago when it was finalized. They've since

01:23:20.159 --> 01:23:27.600
added two more. Joshua Edwards and Amari Jones,

01:23:27.899 --> 01:23:30.020
I think. I don't know who they're fighting, though.

01:23:30.899 --> 01:23:34.060
But those guys are on the come up. So, man, they're

01:23:34.060 --> 01:23:40.199
not going to be the best. Yeah. Bektamir Malakuziev

01:23:40.199 --> 01:23:44.859
versus Sina Agbeko. This might be like a surprise

01:23:44.859 --> 01:23:47.279
fight of the night. I could see this being a

01:23:47.279 --> 01:23:55.159
banger. Yes. It should be fun. Frank Martin versus

01:23:55.159 --> 01:24:01.520
Nahir Albright. Should also be fun. Yeah. Albright

01:24:01.520 --> 01:24:06.000
took Getting Jumped by the Davis Brothers and

01:24:06.000 --> 01:24:10.760
turned it into a fight on the Zone pay -per -view.

01:24:10.760 --> 01:24:17.600
A ring card. Yeah. I mean, good on him. Richardson

01:24:17.600 --> 01:24:21.000
Hitchens defends his IBF super lightweight title

01:24:21.000 --> 01:24:26.359
against Oscar Duarte. I'm going to be pulling

01:24:26.359 --> 01:24:29.000
for Oscar in this one. I really hope he pulls

01:24:29.000 --> 01:24:32.699
off the upset. I don't know how likely it is,

01:24:32.779 --> 01:24:37.560
but... Anything to move Richardson Hitchens out

01:24:37.560 --> 01:24:42.479
of the spotlight. Yeah, I am not a fan. I do

01:24:42.479 --> 01:24:49.380
not like Richardson Hitchens. Gary Antoine Russell

01:24:49.380 --> 01:24:54.560
versus Andy Hiraoka for the WBA super lightweight

01:24:54.560 --> 01:24:58.079
title. This is the main event in my heart. I'm

01:24:58.079 --> 01:25:00.079
excited for this one. Yeah, this is the people's

01:25:00.079 --> 01:25:05.119
main event. Yeah. Personally, I don't think Andy

01:25:05.119 --> 01:25:08.899
Hiraoka is as good as people think he is. I think

01:25:08.899 --> 01:25:11.119
Gary Antoine Russell is going to expose him.

01:25:12.300 --> 01:25:17.340
But I might be wrong. I don't think Andy's gonna

01:25:17.340 --> 01:25:23.199
win. I just hope he has a good showing. Yeah,

01:25:23.199 --> 01:25:27.600
I don't want Andy Hiraoka to disappear or anything.

01:25:27.760 --> 01:25:30.319
I don't dislike him. I just don't get the hype

01:25:30.319 --> 01:25:38.880
around him. He's really athletic. That's the

01:25:38.880 --> 01:25:44.399
best I got. Yeah. He's not bad. I just don't

01:25:44.399 --> 01:25:51.680
get the hype. Hopefully, Gary shows us all his

01:25:51.680 --> 01:25:57.399
limitations. Speaking of not living up to the

01:25:57.399 --> 01:26:02.060
hype, Mario Barrios defends his WBC welterweight

01:26:02.060 --> 01:26:08.359
title against Ryan Garcia. I just want Ryan Garcia

01:26:08.359 --> 01:26:15.579
to go away. Yeah, I don't think he's going to

01:26:15.579 --> 01:26:20.760
win, but I want Mario Barrios to win. This is

01:26:20.760 --> 01:26:25.600
the most mid of mid -offs, in my opinion. I honestly

01:26:25.600 --> 01:26:27.359
do think the draw would be fucking hilarious.

01:26:27.880 --> 01:26:30.859
I don't think it's going to happen. I honestly

01:26:30.859 --> 01:26:33.319
see this one ending in a knockout either way.

01:26:34.220 --> 01:26:37.859
I would love a draw. It would just be too good.

01:26:38.699 --> 01:26:42.289
A draw would be perfect. I would absolutely love

01:26:42.289 --> 01:26:45.590
it. But I kind of also want to see Ryan Garcia

01:26:45.590 --> 01:26:47.949
knocked out by the worst champion in boxing.

01:26:51.529 --> 01:26:57.529
Also, I am excited for the ring lock. I know

01:26:57.529 --> 01:27:00.829
that's a bit lame, but Mario Barrios always has

01:27:00.829 --> 01:27:06.289
really fun ring locks. Ryan Garcia can also put

01:27:06.289 --> 01:27:12.569
on shows. Yeah, I think the ring walks in this

01:27:12.569 --> 01:27:18.149
one are going to be great. Oh, Teofimo's ring

01:27:18.149 --> 01:27:22.770
walk. Remember that? The Jabbawockeez? That was

01:27:22.770 --> 01:27:26.350
fun. I really liked it. I know Jabbawockeez are

01:27:26.350 --> 01:27:38.760
pretty old, but I thought it was great. Anything

01:27:38.760 --> 01:27:43.039
more for Barrios Garcia? I was about to say Barcia.

01:27:44.840 --> 01:27:51.859
No, no. I just hope Garcia loses. All right.

01:27:51.899 --> 01:28:00.060
Last thing. Sunday, February 22nd. The quote,

01:28:00.180 --> 01:28:04.319
as she likes to call herself, Clarissa Shields,

01:28:04.319 --> 01:28:08.929
Undisputed Heavyweight Championship. Rematching

01:28:08.929 --> 01:28:14.390
Franchon Cruz Dizern. I'm expecting this to be

01:28:14.390 --> 01:28:17.029
pretty one -sided. It's going to be a wipeout.

01:28:17.810 --> 01:28:22.050
I have a bit of a tangent, though. Wasn't it

01:28:22.050 --> 01:28:24.850
Clarissa Shields that had her weave come out

01:28:24.850 --> 01:28:29.170
in the middle of a fight? Did she? Yeah, it was

01:28:29.170 --> 01:28:31.689
years ago. I should Google it and make sure.

01:28:32.140 --> 01:28:34.300
But I'm pretty sure it was Clarissa Shields and

01:28:34.300 --> 01:28:36.399
her weave started coming out and the corner was

01:28:36.399 --> 01:28:38.079
like, do you want your hair or do you want the

01:28:38.079 --> 01:28:42.840
belt? It's not as famous as the one this week,

01:28:42.899 --> 01:28:55.439
but. Was it not Clarissa? I think it was. Yeah,

01:28:55.539 --> 01:28:58.659
it was Clarissa Shields. That clip is also hilarious,

01:28:58.760 --> 01:29:02.579
but because it's women's boxing and it was. quite

01:29:02.579 --> 01:29:10.640
a long time ago, it never got famous. Clarissa

01:29:10.640 --> 01:29:13.039
is one of those people, she has hair, but she,

01:29:13.060 --> 01:29:16.359
like, puts fake stuff in it, like, adds to it.

01:29:16.439 --> 01:29:19.520
Yeah, to accentuate, yeah. Yeah, and it was a

01:29:19.520 --> 01:29:23.100
really funny moment, the corner, because she

01:29:23.100 --> 01:29:25.479
was, like, trying to fix it in the corner, and

01:29:25.479 --> 01:29:28.119
she was telling them how to put the pins in properly

01:29:28.119 --> 01:29:31.409
and stuff, and the coach is like, I don't think

01:29:31.409 --> 01:29:33.949
he swore, but he was like, bitch, do you want

01:29:33.949 --> 01:29:37.170
the hair or do you want the belt? And it was

01:29:37.170 --> 01:29:40.810
really funny. I'm surprised it hasn't come up

01:29:40.810 --> 01:29:47.329
with the recent hair fiasco. Yeah. I guess maybe

01:29:47.329 --> 01:29:50.750
that just isn't as famous a moment. And Clarissa

01:29:50.750 --> 01:29:53.909
was very embarrassed by it. She probably tries

01:29:53.909 --> 01:30:01.310
to keep it low key. But I expect Clarissa is

01:30:01.310 --> 01:30:02.810
just going to beat the crap out of this lady

01:30:02.810 --> 01:30:05.989
again. Clarissa is just levels above the other

01:30:05.989 --> 01:30:10.770
women in all these heavy weight classes. Yeah,

01:30:10.789 --> 01:30:14.729
there's nobody there. Yeah, well, Clarissa is

01:30:14.729 --> 01:30:25.149
good. Hmm. That's all we got, though. Not a bad

01:30:25.149 --> 01:30:31.539
weekend of fights. Not bad. Oh, shit. Let's see.

01:30:31.659 --> 01:30:38.279
We are heading into the ring. High stakes. Parting

01:30:38.279 --> 01:30:45.239
words. Chocolate's going to be on sale. I'm excited

01:30:45.239 --> 01:30:48.579
for the chocolate sales. Oh, yeah. That's right.

01:30:49.140 --> 01:30:54.380
Yeah. I'll have... It's going to be on sale soon.

01:30:56.000 --> 01:30:59.989
Excellent. Yeah. I'm spending my Valentine's

01:30:59.989 --> 01:31:07.170
Day watching the one card, so big plans. Well,

01:31:09.369 --> 01:31:14.409
as we record on, well, for me, it's Friday evening

01:31:14.409 --> 01:31:20.369
on the 13th. I think I'm going to take myself

01:31:20.369 --> 01:31:28.010
somewhere nice tomorrow. Nice. Yeah. No, I'm

01:31:28.010 --> 01:31:31.810
eating leftover takeout and watching kickboxing.

01:31:33.550 --> 01:31:37.689
Not a bad way to spend the day. No, I'm perfectly

01:31:37.689 --> 01:31:42.069
happy with it. Oh, man, we've been going for

01:31:42.069 --> 01:31:45.029
quite some time here. Holy shit. Yeah, sorry,

01:31:45.170 --> 01:31:49.649
Leo. Nah, we had a lot to get over. So, to go

01:31:49.649 --> 01:31:53.409
over. Get through, go over. Fucking mixing up

01:31:53.409 --> 01:31:57.869
words. That's it. for this edition of Boxing

01:31:57.869 --> 01:32:02.029
Before Dark see you later bitches bye
