00:00:00.819 --> 00:00:04.200
The B -Side and Boxing. B -Side shit. B -Side.

00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:06.820
B -Side. And the B -Side. You got a B -Side.

00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:10.400
The B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. The B

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

00:00:21.219 --> 00:00:27.160
Alright, let's fucking kick it off here. Boxing

00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:30.879
B -Sides. We're back to talk the fights. The

00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:34.820
comrades have assembled. Saul, the one and only.

00:00:35.619 --> 00:00:38.219
Welcome back to this all -American version of

00:00:38.219 --> 00:00:43.840
Turning Point USA. Turning Point USA. All -American

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.340
Turning Point USA boxing b -sides, guys. Oh,

00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:53.140
no, there's a reason why I'm feeling pretty American

00:00:53.140 --> 00:00:59.280
today. Y 'all know why. Anthony Oluswaga is fighting

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:04.260
Jukia Yumura. Oh, yeah, man. That's 100 % why

00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:10.519
I'm like that. And Josh. We are ready to fucking

00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:14.079
kick it off here. The news. Getting this one

00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.359
out of the way, there is a, I call it Mighty

00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:20.140
Minis. It's a lot of lower weight divisions.

00:01:20.620 --> 00:01:24.140
On March 15th on YouNext. This one's in Japan.

00:01:28.379 --> 00:01:34.599
KnockoutCPFreshmart is moving up to 108. By the

00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.140
way, please donate to the Patreon today. We are

00:01:38.140 --> 00:01:41.560
trying to purchase our own Knockout SP Discord

00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:50.939
fighter. It's probably going to be time. NonitoDonair

00:01:50.939 --> 00:01:54.239
is going to be on this in a WBA Bantamweight

00:01:54.239 --> 00:02:00.000
Eliminator. For whatever reason. And then Anthony

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:08.560
Olasquaga is defending his WBO 112. Manny Pacquiao

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:14.199
joins Team Boxing League. He will be fighting.

00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:22.300
He will be the primary global ambassador. He

00:02:22.300 --> 00:02:25.050
will be a member of the ownership group. And

00:02:25.050 --> 00:02:28.449
he will be the team captain for the San Diego

00:02:28.449 --> 00:02:38.310
TJs. Sure. This is where the older gent belongs.

00:02:38.830 --> 00:02:40.830
Like, if you want to keep fighting, this is where

00:02:40.830 --> 00:02:45.069
you should be. I don't know, man. I'm just like,

00:02:45.229 --> 00:02:47.849
oh, these exhibitions. Well, I guess they're

00:02:47.849 --> 00:02:51.879
not exhibitions. But, like, he looked really

00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.879
bad with that Korean dude before he fought Barrios.

00:02:54.979 --> 00:02:56.979
But then he fought Barrios and made Barrios look

00:02:56.979 --> 00:03:00.580
like an idiot. So, who knows? He made himself

00:03:00.580 --> 00:03:04.159
look young again, you know? Barrios made him

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.319
look young. Yeah. I think that's a bad way to

00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.379
put it. Yeah. You know, when you think about

00:03:10.379 --> 00:03:14.889
it, this really is Keith Thurman's fault. I need

00:03:14.889 --> 00:03:16.250
your addition to talk about that today, man.

00:03:16.349 --> 00:03:19.050
I saw you say that in chat. I know. I soft launched

00:03:19.050 --> 00:03:23.650
it in chat. We're stuck with Manny Pacquiao because

00:03:23.650 --> 00:03:30.509
of Keith Thurman. This really is his fault. Maybe

00:03:30.509 --> 00:03:34.729
Manny Pacquiao is that good. He beat Keith Thurman.

00:03:35.729 --> 00:03:38.389
If Keith had not been knocked down, he would

00:03:38.389 --> 00:03:41.250
have squeaked by on the cards. At least with

00:03:41.250 --> 00:03:48.319
a draw, man. But yeah, Manny Pacquiao, Team Boxing

00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:54.419
League. Let's see here. Sky Nicholson is going

00:03:54.419 --> 00:03:57.419
to be headlining a card in April in Australia.

00:03:59.500 --> 00:04:08.419
Oh boy. Yeah. Nikita Zoo. Sky Nicholson, Simps,

00:04:08.460 --> 00:04:14.159
stay winning. Yeah, not me though. Kel Brook.

00:04:15.050 --> 00:04:19.269
will be returning April 11th in Dubai. This is

00:04:19.269 --> 00:04:22.689
not related to the Tyson Fury card. Yeah. He

00:04:22.689 --> 00:04:26.189
will. Yeah, he's going to be fighting. He's coming

00:04:26.189 --> 00:04:30.790
back to the pro ranks. Good fucking luck. Yeah.

00:04:32.589 --> 00:04:38.970
Let's see here. Tanongsak Simsri, the IBF 108

00:04:38.970 --> 00:04:45.089
champ, is facing Sergio Mendoza April 13th. Miguel

00:04:45.089 --> 00:04:49.689
Cotto renovated his gym, reopened to the public.

00:04:50.170 --> 00:04:55.610
They had a nice little PR event. That's a good

00:04:55.610 --> 00:04:57.529
little heartwarming thing. Yeah, it was really

00:04:57.529 --> 00:05:01.490
nice. They didn't show the gym much in the pictures.

00:05:01.629 --> 00:05:04.889
They mostly focused on the people that were there.

00:05:05.129 --> 00:05:10.110
And Miguel, his wife, and the other coaches that

00:05:10.110 --> 00:05:12.769
are in the gym. But yeah, it was really cool.

00:05:13.129 --> 00:05:17.730
That he's trying to keep boxing alive in Puerto

00:05:17.730 --> 00:05:21.689
Rico. Yeah, he's standing on the arms and shoulders

00:05:21.689 --> 00:05:27.810
of Dan Zayas right now. And the GOAT, Edgar Berlanga.

00:05:28.689 --> 00:05:34.449
Yeah, my GOAT and the King of New York. This

00:05:34.449 --> 00:05:39.829
is an interesting news piece. Team USA, the Olympic

00:05:39.829 --> 00:05:44.040
athletes, are going to be paid. This is from

00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:47.459
a giant donation made by some billionaire dude.

00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:52.319
He donated a lot of money and every athlete that

00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:56.079
makes the Olympic team will receive a $200 ,000

00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:01.079
check. That's fantastic. I wanted to include

00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.199
this because this is obviously going to include

00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:09.620
the boxers. It'll be nice for them to have cash

00:06:09.620 --> 00:06:15.360
and not have to take the... First pro contract.

00:06:15.459 --> 00:06:18.600
Yeah, the first promotion to put a contract in

00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.000
front of them and they just jump on it. They

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:24.660
got a little bit of money to sit on. What billionaire

00:06:24.660 --> 00:06:28.420
game is doing this? I'm curious. Let me look

00:06:28.420 --> 00:06:34.279
it up. Because I don't remember. Financier Ross

00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:40.259
Stevens. Ross Stevens. Is he involved with Zufa

00:06:40.259 --> 00:06:48.699
at all? Not that I know of. If he's connected

00:06:48.699 --> 00:06:53.959
to Zufa, it feels like a ploy to, you know. Oh,

00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.680
to try to coax them and to push them towards

00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:04.139
Zufa? Yep. Yeah. Every athlete, even if they

00:07:04.139 --> 00:07:10.040
don't medal, gets 200k. I hope someone like Joseph

00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:15.100
Iwanongia. Joseph Jr. Joey Jr. I'm going to start

00:07:15.100 --> 00:07:18.339
calling him Joey Jr. Joey Jr. Gakes at the Olympics.

00:07:19.139 --> 00:07:24.379
Seeming pretty special prospect. But yeah, that's

00:07:24.379 --> 00:07:27.480
the little bonus that they're going to get for

00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:31.660
making the team. Also, that's fucking fantastic

00:07:31.660 --> 00:07:34.120
that they're still having the boxing at the Olympics

00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:39.100
this time around in America. Oh, shit. I should

00:07:39.100 --> 00:07:42.620
try to go to some. Did you sign up for it? Because

00:07:42.620 --> 00:07:45.740
I signed up for it. No, I didn't. I should, though.

00:07:47.980 --> 00:07:51.240
Well, the cutoff was... Let me see if I can find

00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.360
a link for you, and I'll send it to you, okay?

00:07:53.540 --> 00:07:58.819
All right. Ferocious Promotions. George Cambosos.

00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.420
Yeah. They're going to be putting on their first

00:08:03.420 --> 00:08:09.500
card in June, around that time. One of the...

00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.899
A little blurb from the press release was the

00:08:13.899 --> 00:08:16.860
focus will be on showcasing Australia's best

00:08:16.860 --> 00:08:20.480
emerging talent built around true 50 -50 matchups,

00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.480
real fights that matter with genuine competitive

00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:26.699
interest. Australian championships and regional

00:08:26.699 --> 00:08:29.319
titles will be on the line following the same

00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.560
blueprint I used to climb to the very top of

00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:39.429
the sport. Very top of the sport. Yeah. He did

00:08:39.429 --> 00:08:44.649
claw his way up with the weird IBF Eliminator

00:08:44.649 --> 00:08:51.750
fights that they make you do. And he took that

00:08:51.750 --> 00:08:58.129
one win off Teofimo and turned that into how

00:08:58.129 --> 00:09:02.029
many paydays? Two with Devin Haney, Lomachenko.

00:09:05.750 --> 00:09:11.960
So, yeah. Whoever managed his career, if they

00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.620
are managing in ferocious promotions, I would

00:09:16.620 --> 00:09:19.559
feel comfortable that my career would take a

00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:23.759
good direction. They could get a fucking mongoloid

00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:34.340
like George Kambosos to where he got. No limit

00:09:34.340 --> 00:09:38.370
boxing. Wins the purse bid for Lewis Crocker

00:09:38.370 --> 00:09:44.929
versus Liam Parrow. I think Parrow said something

00:09:44.929 --> 00:09:48.330
about not having to worry about questionable

00:09:48.330 --> 00:09:54.610
judges. If he had fought in the UK. Last one.

00:09:55.230 --> 00:10:00.029
Yuri Orkus Gamboa will be lacing back up. No,

00:10:00.110 --> 00:10:02.889
not lacing back up. He's going to be taking them

00:10:02.889 --> 00:10:06.350
off, actually. Bare knuckle boxing. Sorry, I

00:10:06.350 --> 00:10:07.990
don't know if you expect me to say anything about

00:10:07.990 --> 00:10:11.090
Lewis Crocker, Liam Parrow, first bid. I'm just,

00:10:11.129 --> 00:10:13.769
I was just going to let it speak for itself with

00:10:13.769 --> 00:10:19.230
the silence. Yeah, well. Honestly. C 'est la

00:10:19.230 --> 00:10:25.370
vie. There's some fun recaps to get to, so let's

00:10:25.370 --> 00:10:28.389
fucking do it. First things first, Friday, February

00:10:28.389 --> 00:10:39.029
6th, Matchroom in Mexico. Bunch of rock 'em,

00:10:39.029 --> 00:10:42.629
sock 'em robots. The main event, Christian Medina

00:10:42.629 --> 00:10:48.370
defended his WBO bantamweight title against former

00:10:48.370 --> 00:10:55.509
108 titleist Adrian Curiel. Pretty one -sided

00:10:55.509 --> 00:11:07.470
affair. But, oh, baby. This is why we're here.

00:11:08.529 --> 00:11:16.909
Queensberry at the Echo Arena in Liverpool. Looking

00:11:16.909 --> 00:11:24.669
up the bill. Andrew Cain, he will be... He's

00:11:24.669 --> 00:11:27.429
a relevant character later. He will be relevant

00:11:27.429 --> 00:11:33.009
later. He gets a stoppage in nine over Alejandro

00:11:33.009 --> 00:11:39.299
Gonzalez. But... The main event. Nick Ball, the

00:11:39.299 --> 00:11:43.740
WBA featherweight champion, is stopped in the

00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:53.960
12th by Brandon Figueroa. Oh, my goodness. What

00:11:53.960 --> 00:12:01.700
a fight. Fucking finally, though. Why does everyone

00:12:01.700 --> 00:12:06.970
hate Nick Ball so much? Well, he's just... He's

00:12:06.970 --> 00:12:12.509
a scouser. He's a scouser who shitty fanbase

00:12:12.509 --> 00:12:15.590
fights shitty opponents very carefully managed.

00:12:15.909 --> 00:12:18.889
With a shitty attitude. Struggles against these

00:12:18.889 --> 00:12:22.009
shitty opponents. Kicks and fouls constantly

00:12:22.009 --> 00:12:29.950
when fights are not going his way. And... I've

00:12:29.950 --> 00:12:32.870
never seen a career more built around waiting

00:12:32.870 --> 00:12:39.750
for the payday than Balls. Credit to his management,

00:12:39.850 --> 00:12:43.570
but holy fuck. He's a dreadful watch because

00:12:43.570 --> 00:12:49.070
he's one of those inside fighters who isn't powerful

00:12:49.070 --> 00:12:53.330
or that fun. He kind of just gets in your chest

00:12:53.330 --> 00:12:59.610
and smothers everyone's work. You're like motorboating

00:12:59.610 --> 00:13:03.950
all the time. Yeah, basically. Like, he's nothing.

00:13:04.169 --> 00:13:06.669
He's not a fun personality. He's not a fun fighter.

00:13:07.870 --> 00:13:13.110
Very cocky. Like, a very, very, very weak champion

00:13:13.110 --> 00:13:16.250
who's had more controversial results than a guy

00:13:16.250 --> 00:13:21.049
of his stature really should have. BFig, on the

00:13:21.049 --> 00:13:23.009
other hand, he's very, obviously, because he's

00:13:23.009 --> 00:13:28.570
very humble. He was happy to even be there. You

00:13:28.570 --> 00:13:32.470
know? And... He should be there. Oh, yeah. I

00:13:32.470 --> 00:13:35.090
mean, yeah. He's happy to be there. And he won

00:13:35.090 --> 00:13:39.889
the fight. He put up a good scrap. Do I think

00:13:39.889 --> 00:13:41.850
he's going to beat the other champions at 126?

00:13:42.690 --> 00:13:49.350
I don't know. Maybe he beats Leo. Maybe. But...

00:13:49.350 --> 00:13:55.090
I think B -Fig... Again, not to try to down his

00:13:55.090 --> 00:13:56.830
performance. Put down his performance. He put

00:13:56.830 --> 00:13:59.679
on fucking... In my opinion, obviously the knockout

00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:00.820
of the year because he knocked out Nick Ball.

00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.279
I'm going to fucking call him a legend for that

00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:08.220
because fuck, Nick Ball's... Yeah. Similar to

00:14:08.220 --> 00:14:14.480
Omar. He's got a basically like a... He burns

00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:19.120
bright for a shorter amount of time. And he's

00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:21.159
already... He did like... I feel like the premise

00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:23.220
of this fight from the Nick Ball management,

00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:26.269
like Nick Ball protection program was... This

00:14:26.269 --> 00:14:31.190
guy's kind of washed. Like, he really had to

00:14:31.190 --> 00:14:35.009
scrape it out against Joey Gonzalez, and it's

00:14:35.009 --> 00:14:36.730
definitely split on whether he actually deserved

00:14:36.730 --> 00:14:41.429
that win. And the Mark Maxayo fight, too. I remember

00:14:41.429 --> 00:14:43.690
there was some controversy there. Controversy

00:14:43.690 --> 00:14:48.269
there. Yep. And that's what I mean. Like, he's...

00:14:48.269 --> 00:14:51.429
The whole point for Nick Ball was to, like, you

00:14:51.429 --> 00:14:53.809
beat up on a guy whose perception is being super,

00:14:53.850 --> 00:14:57.029
super washed. And you get full credit as if you

00:14:57.029 --> 00:15:01.549
beat him when he was good. And it's hilarious

00:15:01.549 --> 00:15:06.309
that it backfired that spectacularly. I think

00:15:06.309 --> 00:15:10.850
this is mandatory, right? Was it mandatory? He

00:15:10.850 --> 00:15:13.149
didn't really have to fight them, honestly. I

00:15:13.149 --> 00:15:14.929
don't recall if it was the mandatory challenger

00:15:14.929 --> 00:15:19.370
or not. Which title was it? The WBA? Yeah. Yeah,

00:15:19.370 --> 00:15:21.370
no. There's no way he had to fight a mandatory.

00:15:23.750 --> 00:15:33.019
Either way. Thank good riddance to Ball. You

00:15:33.019 --> 00:15:36.700
don't think we see him again? Well, I think we're

00:15:36.700 --> 00:15:44.159
going to have to see him. Jazz Dickens? Jazz

00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:49.879
is at 130. He could move up, but he's 5 '2".

00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:53.220
He's a fucking meatball already. Yeah, so what

00:15:53.220 --> 00:15:57.039
I will say is he probably hangs around for Inoue

00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:04.559
Nakatani to happen and fights the loser. And

00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.080
gets iced by them, too. They probably get smoked

00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:09.740
by the loser, but it's a payday. Meanwhile, he's

00:16:09.740 --> 00:16:11.399
going to hang around at domestic level like he

00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:16.799
did pretty much his entire title reign, too.

00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:23.419
What about Luis Neri? Neri smokes him. Like,

00:16:23.419 --> 00:16:26.679
the thing is that, like, I love, like, Figueroa

00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.120
pulled it out, but just look at the shot that

00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:34.600
he caught ball with. Like, anyone at world, like,

00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:40.500
real world level could land that. Which shot?

00:16:40.500 --> 00:16:43.639
The first time or the second time? The big first,

00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:46.360
the big one that caused the knockdown. That laid

00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:49.779
him out? Yeah. Like, that one, anyone could land

00:16:49.779 --> 00:16:55.149
that. Like, Neri could land that. Like, who was

00:16:55.149 --> 00:16:57.250
the one who knocked Inoue down? Was it Neri too?

00:16:57.629 --> 00:17:01.529
Or, yeah. Neri knocked him down. Cardenas knocked

00:17:01.529 --> 00:17:04.349
him down. Okay, so yeah, like Neri caught him

00:17:04.349 --> 00:17:08.569
with a, again, huge, huge left hand. Who's to

00:17:08.569 --> 00:17:13.349
say that doesn't happen to Paul? Especially considering

00:17:13.349 --> 00:17:15.569
it could be a Joe Joyce situation because he

00:17:15.569 --> 00:17:20.680
hadn't been knocked down before this. It could

00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:23.220
totally be a case of his chin cracked right there.

00:17:25.980 --> 00:17:31.240
Yeah, he hadn't been down before. Not at all.

00:17:32.900 --> 00:17:36.720
I don't think we've seen the end of Nick Ball

00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:43.460
at the top level. If he could, moving down would

00:17:43.460 --> 00:17:49.660
probably be ideal. Yeah, but... He's going to

00:17:49.660 --> 00:17:51.559
have to work his way back up, either way you

00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:55.779
look at it. That was a pretty devastating loss.

00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:01.400
Like, because again, like, let's say, oh, I'm

00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:05.279
going to just fight a top 10 guy at 122. That's

00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:14.000
Cardenas. I got a good move for him. Go to what?

00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:19.779
I was going to say, go to 130, fight Jazza Dickens,

00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:25.640
and potentially get a title. If you win, you

00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:30.819
do unification with Oshaki Foster. You know what's

00:18:30.819 --> 00:18:33.059
hilarious, though? It would be Anthony Kakash.

00:18:34.140 --> 00:18:37.140
Anthony Kakash, yeah. He's probably beating Jazza

00:18:37.140 --> 00:18:41.039
Dickens. Honestly, Kakash has the best managed

00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:44.640
career of all time. I mean, he's not that bad

00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.299
of a fighter. He's pretty good. No, he's pretty

00:18:46.299 --> 00:18:48.319
good, but I'm saying he's pretty good and he's

00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.579
just tearing through all of the last generation

00:18:51.579 --> 00:18:59.819
Brits at this weight range. Like, if Kid Galahad

00:18:59.819 --> 00:19:02.579
was still around, Kid Galahad would be on the

00:19:02.579 --> 00:19:05.380
fucking chopping block too. That is a name I

00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:09.150
have not heard in a long time. Listen, I only

00:19:09.150 --> 00:19:13.029
keep Kid Galahad as ball knowledge because, oh

00:19:13.029 --> 00:19:16.269
my god, watching Kiko Martinez obliterate him

00:19:16.269 --> 00:19:23.390
was so, so satisfying. It's such a good gift.

00:19:24.890 --> 00:19:28.769
Let me see if Discord still has it. Kiko got

00:19:28.769 --> 00:19:32.150
brought in as an easy scout for somebody and

00:19:32.150 --> 00:19:34.390
he ended up sparking them, didn't he? Yeah, that

00:19:34.390 --> 00:19:36.049
was Kid Galahad. That was him? That was his first

00:19:36.049 --> 00:19:41.200
title defense. Because he beat Jazza Dickens

00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:44.799
for the IBF World Featherweight title. Kiko Martinez

00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:50.299
was the easy first defense, and then... It wasn't

00:19:50.299 --> 00:19:54.480
so easy. Let me pull up the highlight here for...

00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:59.619
Because it's so funny. It's actually so funny

00:19:59.619 --> 00:20:04.289
watching it happen. This is one of my, like,

00:20:04.289 --> 00:20:07.190
degenerate boxer fights. Degenerate boxing fan

00:20:07.190 --> 00:20:09.029
fights where I actually sat down and watched

00:20:09.029 --> 00:20:12.230
this live instead of just catching, like, this

00:20:12.230 --> 00:20:19.329
broadcast afterwards. Like, if you skip... It's

00:20:19.329 --> 00:20:22.890
so funny. It's basically... It's five seconds

00:20:22.890 --> 00:20:27.410
into the sixth round. Five seconds into the sixth

00:20:27.410 --> 00:20:29.829
round, he just destroys him with a right hand.

00:20:32.009 --> 00:20:34.849
I'm pretty sure that's Howard Foster, like, cradling

00:20:34.849 --> 00:20:37.390
him like a mother breastfeeding a child. Like...

00:20:37.390 --> 00:20:43.369
It's just so... It's beautiful. But, um, yeah.

00:20:44.089 --> 00:20:47.430
Akash, my favorite. One of my favorite Brit slayers.

00:20:47.430 --> 00:20:51.109
Just the way he's only fought Brits for the past

00:20:51.109 --> 00:20:54.730
couple years. What about you, Saul? Did you watch

00:20:54.730 --> 00:20:58.990
all this Brit destroying? Or are you a new -gen

00:20:58.990 --> 00:21:02.000
Brit hater? I'm a new Jimbo hitter. I'm not going

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:08.799
to lie. Shit. You got to watch it. Oh, my God.

00:21:08.819 --> 00:21:12.180
He just lays him the fuck out. Holy shit. I'm

00:21:12.180 --> 00:21:16.319
listening to it. I'm enjoying the history lesson.

00:21:17.619 --> 00:21:18.960
I'm not going to lie and pretend like, hey, yeah,

00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.220
that was a great fight, guys. It was not a great

00:21:22.220 --> 00:21:25.599
fight. It was basically like. Kid Galahad would,

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:28.380
like, jab and take, like, two shuffle steps back.

00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:31.319
And at the start of the sixth round, he just

00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:36.539
times him on one of those step backs. And just

00:21:36.539 --> 00:21:43.039
kills him. Oh, my God. Like, it's so funny. But

00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:46.180
just Howard Foster instantly stepping in. Not

00:21:46.180 --> 00:21:52.099
even, like, a doubt. He knew he was fucked up.

00:21:52.099 --> 00:21:56.259
He knew he was dead. Oh, he died. Like, straight

00:21:56.259 --> 00:21:59.660
up, it was so funny. So that's what I mean by

00:21:59.660 --> 00:22:02.200
Kakashi's taking out this entire generation of,

00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:06.200
like, British featherweights at 130 now. Love

00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:08.940
to see it. Love to see it. Nick Ball can join

00:22:08.940 --> 00:22:14.579
this pantheon of late 2010s, 2020s British featherweights

00:22:14.579 --> 00:22:19.579
who only fought each other. Um, Carl Frampton,

00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:25.339
does he fit that bill? Let me see. Let me look

00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:28.500
at his box rec just to see if he fought. He did

00:22:28.500 --> 00:22:30.599
lose to Josh Warrington, actually. He was a part

00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:34.799
of this generation. Yeah, I remember. I went

00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:39.440
to his fight at the MGM Grand against Leo Santa

00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:45.240
Cruz. Yes. Really good fight. A surprising amount

00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:49.259
of people came out for Frampton. They always

00:22:49.259 --> 00:22:52.500
come out to the United States. It's actually

00:22:52.500 --> 00:22:57.039
weird. I'm not sure if we count him as Brit because

00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:59.819
he's from Northern Ireland. So technically UK.

00:23:00.019 --> 00:23:03.920
Close enough to British. To me, there's only

00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:09.619
one Ireland. And it's the fucking Republic. Exactly.

00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:13.599
Let's see. Let's go back to here. What does Brandon

00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:17.839
Figueroa do from here? Like we were talking about.

00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:21.140
Last time, we were talking about Bruce Carrington

00:23:21.140 --> 00:23:29.200
and his lapses in sound defensive judgment, but

00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:35.420
I don't think Figueroa can do... Can he do what

00:23:35.420 --> 00:23:38.039
Castro was able to do? Can he do more than Castro

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:42.279
could? At an earlier point in his career, yes.

00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:49.009
Right now, a little dicey. Yeah, that's... He's

00:23:49.009 --> 00:23:53.670
washed. He's about... He's washed. I'm not going

00:23:53.670 --> 00:23:58.269
to sugarcoat it with beef fig. He's definitely...

00:23:58.269 --> 00:24:02.730
He's definitely on the tail end here. So he's

00:24:02.730 --> 00:24:07.410
got enough for one good effort, basically. Trilogy

00:24:07.410 --> 00:24:10.170
with Stephen Fulton. There you go, guys. Oh,

00:24:10.170 --> 00:24:19.130
shit. Maybe a 140, but... Oh my god. How do you

00:24:19.130 --> 00:24:21.170
move up two weight classes and still blow it,

00:24:21.190 --> 00:24:26.150
dude? Unification fights don't look like they're

00:24:26.150 --> 00:24:29.289
in the cards, though. Espinoza's a top -ranked

00:24:29.289 --> 00:24:31.990
guy. Carrington is a top -ranked guy. He kind

00:24:31.990 --> 00:24:35.789
of just gets to pick whatever non -champ in his

00:24:35.789 --> 00:24:39.849
vicinity that he wants to basically go out on

00:24:39.849 --> 00:24:43.930
a good note against. Yeah, I mean, it's going

00:24:43.930 --> 00:24:45.970
to be fucking... It's going to be Hell's Hostage

00:24:45.970 --> 00:24:50.069
and Makaladi, guys. A nice champion to add to

00:24:50.069 --> 00:24:55.190
your card. To your cards. Yeah, like... Who did

00:24:55.190 --> 00:24:57.390
Turkey extend the offer? He extended the offer

00:24:57.390 --> 00:24:59.349
to fight on the card, but with no specific opponent,

00:24:59.549 --> 00:25:02.230
right? Random Figueroa on Mexico versus the world.

00:25:02.289 --> 00:25:05.609
Yeah, but no specific opponent. I think it's

00:25:05.609 --> 00:25:07.089
going to be fucking... He didn't pick anyone.

00:25:08.049 --> 00:25:13.910
Some random dude. Watch me anyway. Man, that'd

00:25:13.910 --> 00:25:18.410
be some horrible reward. That'd be funny. What

00:25:18.410 --> 00:25:23.089
a shitty reward. You pull a knockout of the year

00:25:23.089 --> 00:25:25.630
out of your ass and immediately get rewarded

00:25:25.630 --> 00:25:28.210
with hate. So your head is going to land anywhere

00:25:28.210 --> 00:25:33.650
between the third and fifth row. That'd be funny.

00:25:34.450 --> 00:25:36.789
It would be pretty funny, though. I don't hate

00:25:36.789 --> 00:25:39.730
BFake that much, though, so I'd be a little sad.

00:25:40.170 --> 00:25:44.109
You think he fights Sam Goodman? I was thinking

00:25:44.109 --> 00:25:48.430
it. He could fight Sam Goodman. He's not a power

00:25:48.430 --> 00:25:53.450
threat. Big payday in Australia. Yeah. He can

00:25:53.450 --> 00:25:56.190
be caught, right? He's not that fleet -footed.

00:25:57.430 --> 00:25:59.150
He's also not that good, so it's a fight he could

00:25:59.150 --> 00:26:01.230
win. Exactly. Yeah, he's really not that good.

00:26:01.769 --> 00:26:07.849
But he's good on paper. Yeah. Hmm. I'm looking

00:26:07.849 --> 00:26:11.349
down the box rec list here. Omar Trinidad, that

00:26:11.349 --> 00:26:16.890
fucking weirdo over at Zufa. I mean, I guess

00:26:16.890 --> 00:26:22.029
you could do Neary or... Lewis Neary would be

00:26:22.029 --> 00:26:23.349
a good scrap. I'm not going to lie. That'd be

00:26:23.349 --> 00:26:29.049
a good scrap, but, like, again, I'm not... They

00:26:29.049 --> 00:26:35.569
fought before. Yeah. At 122. Yes. Neary's fat

00:26:35.569 --> 00:26:41.410
ass got taken out by a body shot. Mm -hmm. Still

00:26:41.410 --> 00:26:44.289
not a good scrap. Not a good scrap, George Gonzalez.

00:26:44.589 --> 00:26:49.349
George Gonzalez rematch for a world title. Not

00:26:49.349 --> 00:26:55.690
needed. But not unwelcome either. I mean, honestly,

00:26:56.009 --> 00:26:59.549
I know it sounds fucking dumb, but I seriously

00:26:59.549 --> 00:27:03.029
think that a Stephen Fulton rematch is a possibility.

00:27:03.029 --> 00:27:07.460
Those are making the weight, bro. I have a feeling

00:27:07.460 --> 00:27:09.039
that the PBC is going to do some weird shit like

00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:10.259
that. They're going to make him do a trilogy

00:27:10.259 --> 00:27:16.839
fight. It's not too out of the realm of possibility

00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:19.859
to keep it in -house, at least for the first

00:27:19.859 --> 00:27:24.079
one. That's true. And Stephen Fulton could probably

00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:27.720
win that one too. He beat him twice. Probably.

00:27:28.619 --> 00:27:31.200
If Fulton doesn't show up, doesn't roll into

00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:35.359
the ring, he'll do a good job. If anybody...

00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:40.640
He wanted to take an easy first defense. Could

00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:43.500
run it back with Mark McSayo. People thought

00:27:43.500 --> 00:27:50.500
he won. So it was a good fight. And put the chatter

00:27:50.500 --> 00:27:54.259
to rest. I don't remember who it is in Discord

00:27:54.259 --> 00:28:01.299
that was just livid at the McSayo decision. Oh,

00:28:01.299 --> 00:28:03.680
my God. We always have diehards for everything.

00:28:03.940 --> 00:28:05.880
I actually love that chat. I think it was toast.

00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:09.400
Yeah, I love that there's just diehards for everything,

00:28:09.539 --> 00:28:13.339
though. It's funny. Yeah, like you wouldn't expect

00:28:13.339 --> 00:28:18.019
a Max Ayo fucking Homer, but... Oh, there it

00:28:18.019 --> 00:28:23.640
is. Yeah, there's one. Well, the world is Brandon

00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:28.309
Figueroa's fucking oyster. right now for like

00:28:28.309 --> 00:28:32.410
the next six months yeah he's got he's trying

00:28:32.410 --> 00:28:34.569
to think of he's on borrowed time yeah who were

00:28:34.569 --> 00:28:39.670
we talking about last time that has recently

00:28:39.670 --> 00:28:43.890
won a title but josh kelly yes josh kelly that's

00:28:43.890 --> 00:28:47.069
what we were talking about he's got a title now

00:28:47.069 --> 00:28:51.589
but you got your find the highest bidder yeah

00:28:51.589 --> 00:28:56.299
lewis lewis crocker could not find the uh highest

00:28:56.299 --> 00:29:03.440
bidder it seems. So he gets to go lose to was

00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:07.359
it Liam Parrow? Yep. Yep. Because I'm going to

00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:09.480
say Liam Parrow is no joke and Lewis Crocker

00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:15.380
is not that good. Not enough to beat Liam Parrow.

00:29:16.460 --> 00:29:25.819
Anything more for Brandon Figueroa's Heroic rescue

00:29:25.819 --> 00:29:34.279
of the WBA title. Heroic rescues. Sorry. More

00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:37.339
like under new management. Under new management.

00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:43.200
Nah, I know that V -Fake doesn't duck. It doesn't

00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:44.880
duck, but I mean, it's not going to be fighting

00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:49.859
unifications. That's more circumstances than...

00:29:49.859 --> 00:29:53.089
That's politics. Yeah, that becomes a politics

00:29:53.089 --> 00:29:59.289
discussion rather than a discussion on him. Well,

00:29:59.309 --> 00:30:00.769
I don't think anything's going to be different

00:30:00.769 --> 00:30:05.630
with that belt. Just a new... Maybe there might

00:30:05.630 --> 00:30:09.049
be. I don't know. I mean, fuck. We've been having

00:30:09.049 --> 00:30:12.349
our own version of Riyadh cards in America with

00:30:12.349 --> 00:30:14.849
these PBC cards with fucking Top Rank and Mashroom

00:30:14.849 --> 00:30:21.079
fighters on here. Stephen Fulton is... pretty

00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:27.140
dangerous defense to take. Especially considering

00:30:27.140 --> 00:30:29.880
you lost him twice. Exactly. Like, Stephen Fulton

00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:35.200
has his number. Yeah. Again, I just don't think

00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:38.720
it'll happen because of the weight. Yeah. This

00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:42.359
is a guy who moved up a weight class and still

00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:47.539
blew it by two weight classes. Like, he's ranked

00:30:47.539 --> 00:30:51.359
at lightweight right now because of how bad he

00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:56.000
blew weight. All right. Let me put in some notes

00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:59.579

them all. 833 -589 -7637. Send me whatever you

00:31:17.660 --> 00:31:21.839
got. Dandruff doesn't just affect your hair.

00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:24.500
It chips away at your confidence. But I'm here

00:31:24.500 --> 00:31:27.140
to tell you it doesn't have to be this way. It's

00:31:27.140 --> 00:31:30.220
time to say bye to flakes with flakes. Flakes

00:31:30.220 --> 00:31:32.059
isn't a scented wash you get from the grocery

00:31:32.059 --> 00:31:35.160
store that just masks the problem. It's a powerful,

00:31:35.259 --> 00:31:37.680
medically formulated treatment designed to get

00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:40.700
to the root of the toughest dandruff. Flakes

00:31:40.700 --> 00:31:43.579
works fast to control the flaking, calm the itching,

00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:46.039
and soothe the redness that's on your scalp.

00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:49.220
And here's another pro tip. Flakes will also

00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:51.480
help with that stubborn beard gruff if you have

00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:54.480
that too. Imagine feeling completely free to

00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:56.480
wear whatever you want whenever you want to.

00:31:56.980 --> 00:31:59.480
Imagine just focusing on your day and not on

00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:01.960
your scalp. That's the difference that Flakes

00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:06.019
makes. Go to lvx .be slash flakes for a nice

Thursday, February 19th. Ohashi promotions at

00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:43.079
Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. Why are we talking about

00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:48.740
this? Jin Sasaki is back, baby. Versus Marlon

00:33:48.740 --> 00:33:53.299
Pagalpalan. That was mouthful. You know what?

00:33:53.460 --> 00:33:57.880
It'll be fun. Yeah. Sasaki is fun. Fun little

00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:03.400
card. I'm happy. And I'm always up at 3am, so

00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:11.739
it doesn't matter. shit matchroom at the Nottingham

00:34:11.739 --> 00:34:16.719
Arena on Saturday, February 21st. Let's see here.

00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:23.739
Moving up the bill, David Allen. Anthony Joshua.

00:34:25.219 --> 00:34:29.079
Dude, Anthony Joshua could have come out of that

00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:31.340
car after the car accident and still stopped

00:34:31.340 --> 00:34:36.980
Dave Allen in six. Like, come on. He could have

00:34:36.980 --> 00:34:38.719
still been injured from the accident and still

00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:42.300
done the job. No, I remember there was an infamous

00:34:42.300 --> 00:34:45.980
TBA that ended up coming together late, and it's

00:34:45.980 --> 00:34:50.139
probably... This one is boxing math, to use your

00:34:50.139 --> 00:34:54.119
metaphor. So he had a barn burner against an

00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:57.340
Argentinian dude named Ariel Esteban Bracamonte.

00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:01.860
Bracamonte. That sounds worse than that. and

00:35:01.860 --> 00:35:05.079
it was just a this fight was just a barn burner

00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:07.380
they had their mouths like they were breathing

00:35:07.380 --> 00:35:12.559
out of their mouths by the opening bell and they

00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:16.039
just went to war it was it's probably like the

00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:18.760
best it's probably the most fun worst fight you'll

00:35:18.760 --> 00:35:23.079
ever see well like i will make sure to check

00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:25.699
it out one day here i'll send you the the full

00:35:25.699 --> 00:35:29.300
fight it's worth watching I'll watch it while

00:35:29.300 --> 00:35:33.039
I'm playing some Nintendo. All boxing fans should

00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:35.380
watch this fight because this should be your

00:35:35.380 --> 00:35:40.860
bar for terrible heavyweight fights. Check it

00:35:40.860 --> 00:35:43.500
out. If there are two guys that you know have

00:35:43.500 --> 00:35:46.679
no aspirations to do anything ever at heavyweight,

00:35:46.860 --> 00:35:50.239
they should at least be this fun while being

00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:56.340
fat out of shape. Bracamonte and Gerald Miller.

00:35:59.289 --> 00:36:02.650
Up to that point, they had the heaviest combined

00:36:02.650 --> 00:36:07.489
weight for a professional fight. Until those

00:36:07.489 --> 00:36:11.730
YouTubers... Yeah, they broke the scale with

00:36:11.730 --> 00:36:14.230
their fight. It was a truck weighing scale, by

00:36:14.230 --> 00:36:17.010
the way, so you know it's bad. It's fucking crazy.

00:36:18.869 --> 00:36:22.230
I'm serious, dude. Boogie and Wings of Redemption.

00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:26.579
That's what I mean by everyone has their vices.

00:36:26.840 --> 00:36:29.860
My vices are just two fat dudes beating the shit

00:36:29.860 --> 00:36:34.460
out of each other. Will always be my vice. Because

00:36:34.460 --> 00:36:39.019
it's so fascinating. How are you a professional

00:36:39.019 --> 00:36:45.659
athlete this out of shape? That's why they call

00:36:45.659 --> 00:36:47.579
them heavyweights. Yeah, you ever jingle keys

00:36:47.579 --> 00:36:49.659
in front of a baby? That's basically what it's

00:36:49.659 --> 00:37:00.369
like. Moving up, the bill, Molly McCann. Meatball

00:37:00.369 --> 00:37:03.510
Molly, the UFC chick. Meatball Molly. Meatball

00:37:03.510 --> 00:37:07.329
Molly. Is in a six -rounder at super bantamweight.

00:37:09.230 --> 00:37:13.929
Sandy Ryan is fighting for the vacant WBC super

00:37:13.929 --> 00:37:18.230
lightweight title against Carla Zamora. Ishmael

00:37:18.230 --> 00:37:23.250
Davis versus Bilal Fawaz. I think this is for

00:37:23.250 --> 00:37:26.630
the... Like British and Commonwealth stuff. I

00:37:26.630 --> 00:37:30.730
don't keep track of that. But I think I saw that

00:37:30.730 --> 00:37:35.409
that's what this is. And in the headline, Lee

00:37:35.409 --> 00:37:39.710
Wood versus Josh Warrington. What a rematch.

00:37:41.949 --> 00:37:44.469
This is the one we've all been waiting for. It

00:37:44.469 --> 00:37:47.710
was a barn burner. I'm so excited for the same

00:37:47.710 --> 00:37:54.460
people to keep fighting each other forever. Josh

00:37:54.460 --> 00:37:56.800
Warrington is one of the dirtiest fighters ever.

00:37:57.980 --> 00:38:02.179
Literally ever. Oh, my God, dude. Like, I...

00:38:02.179 --> 00:38:07.900
He's also probably, like... Like, Nick Ball heading

00:38:07.900 --> 00:38:10.260
in the direction of, like, he loses and immediately

00:38:10.260 --> 00:38:12.639
gets a shot at the same title because of politics.

00:38:13.460 --> 00:38:15.539
Because, like, if you look at his resume, he'll

00:38:15.539 --> 00:38:19.000
lose and then get another shot at the IBF and

00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:22.659
then lose and get another shot at the IBF. Or

00:38:22.659 --> 00:38:27.400
get into an eliminator with for the IBF. That's

00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:34.360
how you game the system. Just, oh my god. And,

00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:36.659
like, Lee Wood is probably one of the biggest

00:38:36.659 --> 00:38:41.900
overachievers I've ever seen. Because he straight

00:38:41.900 --> 00:38:49.659
up has, like, a rocky boxing ability. Like...

00:38:50.380 --> 00:38:54.539
Full honesty, he's not great at boxing, but somehow

00:38:54.539 --> 00:38:58.420
always wins. Most of the time. Most of the time.

00:39:00.300 --> 00:39:04.920
Lost to Jazza Dickens, dude. He lost to Jazza

00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:08.699
Dickens, and then got his ass beat pillar to

00:39:08.699 --> 00:39:12.420
post for 12 rounds by Michael Conlon before pulling

00:39:12.420 --> 00:39:17.260
it out. Yeah. That was one of my favorite knockouts.

00:39:18.509 --> 00:39:20.250
Hilarious. It's just like a video. It looks like

00:39:20.250 --> 00:39:23.289
one of, like, you know the 2007, like, punch

00:39:23.289 --> 00:39:27.050
out on the Wii? Yeah. Oh, yeah. It looked like

00:39:27.050 --> 00:39:29.090
one of those knockouts. Like, when you knock

00:39:29.090 --> 00:39:35.090
Aaron Ryan out of the ring. Like, just the, like,

00:39:35.150 --> 00:39:42.929
hilarious, like, epic knockout. Josh Warrington

00:39:42.929 --> 00:39:46.050
was also up there. Again, also being hit pillar

00:39:46.050 --> 00:39:49.969
to pole. Being... Punched, rabbit punched, head

00:39:49.969 --> 00:39:54.349
butted, and need pillar to post. And then just

00:39:54.349 --> 00:40:01.309
stops him randomly in the seventh. So, like,

00:40:01.369 --> 00:40:03.730
as much as we can, as much as, as British as

00:40:03.730 --> 00:40:09.889
he is, it's not, not fun to watch him. You know?

00:40:09.989 --> 00:40:13.469
I would give him, like, the plucky underdog.

00:40:14.269 --> 00:40:17.940
Yeah, like, he just. He just boxes like Rocky

00:40:17.940 --> 00:40:20.420
does, but the whole thing in the Rocky movies

00:40:20.420 --> 00:40:28.159
is that Rocky sucks. Hey, not in Rocky 3. I mean,

00:40:28.179 --> 00:40:31.159
I guess, but he was also missing the Eye of the

00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:35.800
Tiger, so. That's true. And those were all cherry

00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:39.800
picks, according to Mickey. Well, he came in

00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:44.039
being a roided out Soviet guy. Number one. Yeah,

00:40:44.099 --> 00:40:47.579
but that was all Will. Like, let's be real. Like,

00:40:47.579 --> 00:40:49.079
let's be real. Like, the whole point is that

00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:51.380
he's kind of a bum who just, like, he's able

00:40:51.380 --> 00:40:54.760
to take a hit and give it back. He's buffed Dave

00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:58.500
Allen, you're saying? No. Dave Allen is not athletic

00:40:58.500 --> 00:41:00.920
enough to give it back. Well, that's why he's

00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:06.199
buffed Dave Allen. Dave Allen has been buffed

00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:09.719
and still not giving it back. This is the thing.

00:41:10.170 --> 00:41:12.929
We've seen him in every body shape and size.

00:41:14.389 --> 00:41:17.010
And it's been the same thing. That's why I love

00:41:17.010 --> 00:41:25.210
him. He's terrible. Let's move on to the ring

00:41:25.210 --> 00:41:31.110
high stakes at the T -Mobile Arena. Starting

00:41:31.110 --> 00:41:36.250
from the bottom, Bektamir Melikuziev, Versina

00:41:36.250 --> 00:41:43.199
Akbeko. in a super middleweight fight. Yeah,

00:41:43.219 --> 00:41:46.539
I'm not mad at this. It's, like, Beko isn't terrible.

00:41:48.980 --> 00:41:52.340
Ish. No, yeah, he's not bad. I think, like, his

00:41:52.340 --> 00:41:56.119
only losses are to really good people. His losses

00:41:56.119 --> 00:42:00.179
are to Dave Morrell and Osley's Iglesias. No

00:42:00.179 --> 00:42:03.260
shame there. And then in the 2010s, there's stuff

00:42:03.260 --> 00:42:05.880
to, like, Vladimir Shishkin and Raymond Goetz,

00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:09.960
but, like, whatever. Beck the Bully comes to

00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:15.860
Rumble. He's vulnerable. He's vulnerable enough

00:42:15.860 --> 00:42:20.659
to make it interesting. Frank Martin versus Nahir

00:42:20.659 --> 00:42:25.460
Albright. 10 rounds at 140. My God. Keyshawn

00:42:25.460 --> 00:42:29.300
Davis' son. Keyshawn Davis' father, I mean. Sorry.

00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:33.780
Nahir Albright. Nahir Albright. Keyshawn Davis'

00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:37.539
father. You know what? It would be really funny

00:42:37.539 --> 00:42:39.679
if Frank Martin does him like he did Rance's

00:42:39.679 --> 00:42:43.980
Bartholomew. That would be pretty fucking awesome.

00:42:44.099 --> 00:42:46.280
It would be the funniest possible outcome for

00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:49.880
just another, like... I mean, yeah, he's like...

00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:52.320
He's like better than him, I guess. And then

00:42:52.320 --> 00:43:02.260
he just kills him. I hear Albright took... He

00:43:02.260 --> 00:43:06.440
pivoted from having a baby thrown at him. To

00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:14.260
this. So, that's nice. Yes. Well, not just that.

00:43:14.300 --> 00:43:16.219
He also won his last fight, too. Yeah, he also

00:43:16.219 --> 00:43:19.159
beat Kelvin Davis, the inferior Davis brother.

00:43:22.099 --> 00:43:26.440
And then got jumped in his dressing room by Keyshawn

00:43:26.440 --> 00:43:31.599
Davis. Who had a stroller with a baby in it.

00:43:31.780 --> 00:43:35.320
With a baby in it, yeah. Just on standby, by

00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:39.960
the way. Just on standby. But you know what?

00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:43.760
It'd be really funny if Frank Martin just plastered

00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:46.400
him. No disrespect to Keyshawn Davis' father.

00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:54.659
But I need more GIFs. They're really funny. More

00:43:54.659 --> 00:43:57.639
Frank Martin GIFs. Frank Martin GIFs are always

00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:00.739
so funny. Because the two we have of him are...

00:44:00.739 --> 00:44:04.000
One is Tank, literally just... disintegrating

00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:07.980
him. And the other one is of him disintegrating

00:44:07.980 --> 00:44:13.300
Rance's Bartholomew. It's good. He also got rid

00:44:13.300 --> 00:44:16.460
of the Muhammad Ali cosplayer Michelle Rivera,

00:44:16.699 --> 00:44:25.280
so I will forever appreciate him for that. Will

00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:29.030
you appreciate Richardson Hitchens? defending

00:44:29.030 --> 00:44:32.650
his IBF super lightweight title against Oscar

00:44:32.650 --> 00:44:39.250
Duarte. Good fight. Yeah, it's a good fight.

00:44:39.389 --> 00:44:41.969
I'm just like, oh, my God. I want to be so high

00:44:41.969 --> 00:44:45.449
on Hitchens, but he's like a caricature of how

00:44:45.449 --> 00:44:47.909
people describe Shakur, how I describe Shakur

00:44:47.909 --> 00:44:52.510
Stevenson. Yeah, no, I mean, Shakur never went

00:44:52.510 --> 00:44:55.989
and almost lost to Gustavo Lemos and pretty much

00:44:55.989 --> 00:45:00.300
had to get robbed. I'd rob him. I don't know.

00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:02.340
Like, that's what I mean. Like, he's a caricature

00:45:02.340 --> 00:45:06.559
of how people describe Shakur Stevenson. Africa!

00:45:07.980 --> 00:45:12.000
Africa! It makes me, like, I want to like Hitchens.

00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:15.159
He's clearly good, but also, like, fuck. Yeah,

00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:19.480
he's talented, but at the same time, he's not

00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:23.139
all that. I want to rip my hair out every time

00:45:23.139 --> 00:45:25.699
I watch him fight because he could engage more.

00:45:25.820 --> 00:45:29.599
He very much has the skill to engage more. And

00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:31.579
it's not like he has pillow fists. He's just

00:45:31.579 --> 00:45:33.760
a very negative fighter. I was going to say,

00:45:33.820 --> 00:45:36.880
I was going to use that term. He's a very negative

00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:40.099
fighter. He's just so negative because he clearly

00:45:40.099 --> 00:45:44.420
has the pop to at least bother guys and then

00:45:44.420 --> 00:45:49.480
just, oh my god. Like, even, like, yeah, him

00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:52.059
stopping Cambosos, he was cool and all, but,

00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:54.880
like, there were seven other rounds of NyQuil.

00:45:56.019 --> 00:45:59.900
Whatever, man. Maybe Duarte will bring it out

00:45:59.900 --> 00:46:05.019
of him, though. I'm hopeful that Duarte could

00:46:05.019 --> 00:46:08.019
catch him with something. Oh, yeah. Just at least,

00:46:08.059 --> 00:46:11.239
like, not even the win, just to make him do something.

00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:17.059
Something that he's never done before. I was

00:46:17.059 --> 00:46:19.800
telling... When I was talking with Shanada about

00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:24.619
this fight a while ago, it said the same thing.

00:46:24.719 --> 00:46:28.599
Just that Duarte catches him with something.

00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:32.260
But I was thinking that that would make Hitchens

00:46:32.260 --> 00:46:39.039
retreat into his cave a little more. Just be

00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:44.059
more negative to avoid any more damage. He probably

00:46:44.059 --> 00:46:52.940
will be. Next. Yep. Gary Antoine Russell defends

00:46:52.940 --> 00:46:58.119
his WBA 140 title against Andy Hidaoka. Okay,

00:46:58.179 --> 00:47:00.079
this fight's going to be gangbusters. I'm so

00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:05.039
excited for this one. Me too. I like Andy. He's

00:47:05.039 --> 00:47:11.099
really athletic, really explosive. Should be

00:47:11.099 --> 00:47:16.730
fun. Fun clash. He's fun. Gary Antoine Russell

00:47:16.730 --> 00:47:21.369
is good and fun. That's good. Great co -main.

00:47:21.849 --> 00:47:26.210
This is probably going to be a way better fight

00:47:26.210 --> 00:47:29.630
than the main itself. Let's be fully honest.

00:47:29.969 --> 00:47:33.369
Yeah, I think you're right. As a fight, this

00:47:33.369 --> 00:47:37.369
is so much better than the main. As much as I

00:47:37.369 --> 00:47:42.869
do like Andy, there's always... There is always

00:47:42.869 --> 00:47:46.710
talk when he comes up in Discord about whether

00:47:46.710 --> 00:47:49.789
he's, you know, is he actually, who has he fought?

00:47:49.909 --> 00:47:54.949
Is he actually that good? You know? Real. And

00:47:54.949 --> 00:47:58.349
yeah, to an extent it's true, but this is the

00:47:58.349 --> 00:48:02.429
time to find out. Because he's got a really fucking

00:48:02.429 --> 00:48:06.550
elite opponent in front of him. So we're going

00:48:06.550 --> 00:48:11.860
to see if the Andy stories are real. Let's see,

00:48:11.900 --> 00:48:14.519
but I mean, I honestly feel like a guy that way.

00:48:14.539 --> 00:48:18.199
I can't even call this one. See, unlike the Hitchens

00:48:18.199 --> 00:48:19.400
fight, where I know Hitchens is probably going

00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:25.960
to win, this fight, I can't decide. Because,

00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:29.340
again, Gary Antoine Russell, great fighter, but,

00:48:29.500 --> 00:48:36.000
I mean, have we ever seen him fight a guy kind

00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:40.510
of like Andy Arauca with the... Same kind of

00:48:40.510 --> 00:48:48.809
amount of closeness. I mean, come on. Pueyo.

00:48:51.829 --> 00:48:54.329
Pueyo is a totally different skill set. I was

00:48:54.329 --> 00:48:56.769
going to say, Pueyo, you've got to really get

00:48:56.769 --> 00:48:59.309
a tang of the in and out, and it doesn't help

00:48:59.309 --> 00:49:02.150
that. Who in his camp died that really threw

00:49:02.150 --> 00:49:05.150
him off for that? His father? His father, yes.

00:49:06.499 --> 00:49:12.679
So that fight is kind of a write -off. I can

00:49:12.679 --> 00:49:15.480
agree with you on that. But I just think this

00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:17.280
fight is just... In my opinion, it's going to

00:49:17.280 --> 00:49:18.940
be the hardest fight of his career. Oh, absolutely.

00:49:19.380 --> 00:49:21.840
Like, hardest fight of his career that he's present

00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:24.820
for. Yeah. Like, this will show you what he's

00:49:24.820 --> 00:49:28.579
made of. I agree. Like, if he gets... There's

00:49:28.579 --> 00:49:30.300
a chance that either man can get knocked down.

00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:31.420
There's a chance it could be a fight of the year.

00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:34.739
You know? It could be fucking... It could be...

00:49:35.179 --> 00:49:37.039
I don't see no way that this is not a gangbusters.

00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:40.199
Oh, yeah. No, like, there's no... Both these

00:49:40.199 --> 00:49:42.320
guys are going to engage and engage good. It'll

00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:44.739
be... It is going to be gangbusters. Mm -hmm.

00:49:46.820 --> 00:49:48.900
Just sucks that it's not going to be a PBC quality,

00:49:49.099 --> 00:49:53.659
but... I mean, maybe they'll stop the 4K that

00:49:53.659 --> 00:49:59.500
they used for Stevenson Lopez. Did they use 4K

00:49:59.500 --> 00:50:03.900
for that? Hmm? Did they use 4K for that? It looked

00:50:03.900 --> 00:50:07.940
like it. I don't know. We'd need Hazy's TV to

00:50:07.940 --> 00:50:14.659
really tell. Yeah, that's true. We'd need a top

00:50:14.659 --> 00:50:18.699
-quality TV, not the plasma TV that has been

00:50:18.699 --> 00:50:25.619
so often discussed in chat. Noted. Hitchens Truther.

00:50:26.199 --> 00:50:33.059
Hitchens Truther. That was for the main. And

00:50:33.059 --> 00:50:36.269
in the main event. WBC welterweight champion

00:50:36.269 --> 00:50:42.349
Mario Barrios fights Ryan Garcia. Ooh, we're

00:50:42.349 --> 00:50:43.909
going to have a good one for this. Man, I'm going

00:50:43.909 --> 00:50:46.489
to gouge my eyes out. I look at his box rack,

00:50:46.530 --> 00:50:49.190
and every time I see two consecutive draws...

00:50:49.190 --> 00:50:52.949
That shit is too funny, man. It's too funny.

00:50:53.050 --> 00:50:54.670
It's so funny. I think we're going for number

00:50:54.670 --> 00:50:59.289
three, depending on how Ryan shows up, too. I

00:50:59.289 --> 00:51:06.250
got my last prediction with Ryan wrong. And I'm

00:51:06.250 --> 00:51:07.530
going to go out on the land and say he's going

00:51:07.530 --> 00:51:09.670
to win this fight. I think he's going to beat

00:51:09.670 --> 00:51:11.769
Mario Barrios. He's more than good enough to

00:51:11.769 --> 00:51:15.550
beat Mario Barrios. The question is, is he going

00:51:15.550 --> 00:51:20.349
to show up locked in enough to do so? Well...

00:51:20.349 --> 00:51:23.949
Because Mario Barrios is not durable at all.

00:51:24.150 --> 00:51:27.429
I hate to say it, but it's not the tank fight

00:51:27.429 --> 00:51:30.050
that makes me question the durability. It's the

00:51:30.050 --> 00:51:32.190
Keith Thurman fight where the contractually...

00:51:32.750 --> 00:51:35.070
Keith was wearing, like, 12 -ounce gloves and

00:51:35.070 --> 00:51:38.150
still knocking him pillar to post. He rearranged

00:51:38.150 --> 00:51:41.090
his face. Yeah, and those were with pillows.

00:51:42.269 --> 00:51:44.690
Honestly, I'm going to keep it real with you.

00:51:44.750 --> 00:51:47.329
I agree to a sense, but I think the fight that

00:51:47.329 --> 00:51:49.630
shows me his vulnerability is with the Abel Ramos

00:51:49.630 --> 00:51:52.849
fight. Well, I'm trying to ignore the two draws

00:51:52.849 --> 00:51:57.369
in terms of, like... Vulnerability? No, just

00:51:57.369 --> 00:51:59.820
in general, because, like, it's kind of... The

00:51:59.820 --> 00:52:03.119
longest -lasting welterweight champion is a dude

00:52:03.119 --> 00:52:06.940
who just gets nonstop draws. I mean, let's be

00:52:06.940 --> 00:52:08.840
for real. I mean, the Keith Thurman fight, I

00:52:08.840 --> 00:52:13.699
know the 12 -ounce gloves, pillow fist, but also

00:52:13.699 --> 00:52:15.760
Keith Thurman's also pretty damn good. At the

00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:17.760
time, he was pretty good. Oh, I know, but he

00:52:17.760 --> 00:52:19.760
was coming off an insane amount of ring rust

00:52:19.760 --> 00:52:24.230
and just, like... beat his ass with pillows like

00:52:24.230 --> 00:52:26.730
that's I'm not saying they should be doing no

00:52:26.730 --> 00:52:30.329
damage but it's like every shot was wobbling

00:52:30.329 --> 00:52:34.730
him yeah which is like that's more damning like

00:52:34.730 --> 00:52:37.449
he took Keith Thurman yeah home run right hand

00:52:37.449 --> 00:52:39.469
whatever he took it off the gloves and still

00:52:39.469 --> 00:52:45.670
shook as he's a big guy dude and the thing is

00:52:45.670 --> 00:52:48.389
but one thing is that Keith Thurman was accurate

00:52:48.389 --> 00:52:52.980
as fuck is Ryan accurate? He can be if he's fast.

00:52:53.280 --> 00:53:00.280
Ryan hits harder. Yeah, 100%. I genuinely wonder

00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:01.840
how big the ring is going to be on the site.

00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:05.079
But if Ryan wins, it's going to be my knockout.

00:53:05.179 --> 00:53:06.880
There's no way that Ryan's going to win. I think

00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:08.900
Ryan's confounding. He's got that silly shell

00:53:08.900 --> 00:53:12.739
that he still uses. It'll be really funny if

00:53:12.739 --> 00:53:18.280
he gets confounded against the silly shell. What

00:53:18.280 --> 00:53:21.230
I will say is... I genuinely think that Ryan's

00:53:21.230 --> 00:53:23.710
going to fight. I think Ryan's going to fight

00:53:23.710 --> 00:53:25.309
desperate in this fight, and so is Mario Barrios.

00:53:26.230 --> 00:53:29.349
Both of them are at the... Obviously, Mario Barrios

00:53:29.349 --> 00:53:32.989
is champion, but he's coming off two draws, and

00:53:32.989 --> 00:53:37.090
Ryan is coming off a loss. His last fight was,

00:53:37.369 --> 00:53:39.750
before that loss, was Devin Haney, where it was

00:53:39.750 --> 00:53:42.250
overturned. The fight before that is Oscar Duarte

00:53:42.250 --> 00:53:46.610
in, like, what, 2023? 2023. That's the last time

00:53:46.610 --> 00:53:49.030
he legitimately... Won a fight fair and square.

00:53:50.030 --> 00:53:53.389
Nothing being overturned. Not a loss. Last time

00:53:53.389 --> 00:53:55.369
he was in a championship bout was, I believe,

00:53:55.389 --> 00:53:58.630
with Tank. And he lost too. No, wasn't Rowley

00:53:58.630 --> 00:54:03.449
for... I meant the time before that too. So all

00:54:03.449 --> 00:54:08.670
championship fights that he had, he lost. So

00:54:08.670 --> 00:54:12.610
we'll see what happens with Barrios. I generally

00:54:12.610 --> 00:54:14.909
think this is going to be the time he becomes

00:54:14.909 --> 00:54:19.860
champ. He really has to. A, the universe needs

00:54:19.860 --> 00:54:21.860
to make it happen before Virgil gets a world

00:54:21.860 --> 00:54:27.059
title fight. B, that's the number one way to

00:54:27.059 --> 00:54:29.619
get a Devin Haney rematch or to run it back with

00:54:29.619 --> 00:54:38.679
Rowley. One thing I will say is that Mario Barrios,

00:54:38.739 --> 00:54:41.480
he's coming into imminent enemy territory. I

00:54:41.480 --> 00:54:46.340
will say, though. Haney -Ryan unification does

00:54:46.340 --> 00:54:51.380
a crazy gait. Oh, yeah. 100%. Crazy gait. Crazy

00:54:51.380 --> 00:54:54.840
gait review. That's a crazy gait. That's a crazy

00:54:54.840 --> 00:54:58.320
fight, like, commercially. People are not going

00:54:58.320 --> 00:55:00.579
to remember Mario Barrios, or they're not going

00:55:00.579 --> 00:55:03.880
to remember Roley if Ryan knocks out Mario Barrios,

00:55:04.039 --> 00:55:08.880
who is arguably might be better than Roley in

00:55:08.880 --> 00:55:11.989
terms of skill. He's better than... Well, if

00:55:11.989 --> 00:55:14.489
you use Tank as the measuring stick, one, like,

00:55:14.530 --> 00:55:17.170
kept it close with Tank down the stretch. The

00:55:17.170 --> 00:55:21.429
other guy got nuked in as soon as Tank got sick

00:55:21.429 --> 00:55:27.349
of carrying him. Yeah. I gotta say that. I think

00:55:27.349 --> 00:55:29.570
Mario Barrios, if he wins, he's gotta knock out

00:55:29.570 --> 00:55:32.230
Ryan. He can't go wait for it, Ryan, because

00:55:32.230 --> 00:55:34.469
someone's... Tim Cheatham's gonna put a fucking

00:55:34.469 --> 00:55:40.800
7 -5 Ryan card in there. Or, like, 9 -3. I don't

00:55:40.800 --> 00:55:43.099
even care if Mario Barrios got robbed low -key

00:55:43.099 --> 00:55:47.059
after the double draw robbery. The drawberry,

00:55:47.219 --> 00:55:52.099
as Leo says. Yeah, the drawberry. Two consecutive,

00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:57.159
by the way, drawberries. But I have not... I

00:55:57.159 --> 00:55:59.659
can see it happening. I can see some shit happening.

00:55:59.820 --> 00:56:03.480
It'd be really funny if he just has three fights

00:56:03.480 --> 00:56:05.579
in a row that are all ridiculously controversial.

00:56:07.989 --> 00:56:09.849
My thing is that Ryan's for sure going to get

00:56:09.849 --> 00:56:11.989
that Devin Haney fight no matter what. Oh, yeah.

00:56:12.690 --> 00:56:16.489
Whether it happens now or later. I don't know.

00:56:16.610 --> 00:56:20.530
Or if it's even big. Yeah. You know? Because

00:56:20.530 --> 00:56:24.550
if Ryan loses, I mean, Ryan is not... Obviously,

00:56:24.550 --> 00:56:26.750
he's still a star, but he's not seen as how he

00:56:26.750 --> 00:56:29.489
was years ago. He's not at that same level at

00:56:29.489 --> 00:56:33.389
all. He fell from grace pretty hard. Yeah, he

00:56:33.389 --> 00:56:35.150
fell from grace pretty hard. He's surviving off...

00:56:35.469 --> 00:56:37.170
Going on kick streams with fucking some dude

00:56:37.170 --> 00:56:41.690
named Oblivion. Who, again, he's a streamer.

00:56:41.710 --> 00:56:43.750
But, I mean, he's not as big as the other guys

00:56:43.750 --> 00:56:46.329
that are out there. Before he was doing Aiden

00:56:46.329 --> 00:56:50.289
Ross and all this shit with fucking other people.

00:56:50.349 --> 00:56:53.429
Jake Paul before. But, I mean, now he's doing

00:56:53.429 --> 00:56:57.369
fucking with, what, Oblivion? He's scraping the

00:56:57.369 --> 00:56:59.110
bottom of the barrel. And Ryan needs this win.

00:56:59.590 --> 00:57:01.940
He needs it. And honestly... I think he sounds

00:57:01.940 --> 00:57:04.159
pretty good. I haven't heard his Vice voice recently,

00:57:04.300 --> 00:57:06.739
the one he had with Demi Haney. So that's pretty

00:57:06.739 --> 00:57:11.139
good. I don't think he's drinking or partying

00:57:11.139 --> 00:57:14.239
like crazy. You think he's locked in? I genuinely

00:57:14.239 --> 00:57:18.340
think he's locked in. I think he was locked in

00:57:18.340 --> 00:57:21.099
last time too, in a sense, but I think he uses

00:57:21.099 --> 00:57:24.659
the excuse that he wasn't. I don't know. That's

00:57:24.659 --> 00:57:29.070
my opinion of it. Granted, also, he's also popping

00:57:29.070 --> 00:57:31.110
up on stream, so what the fuck do I know? I'm

00:57:31.110 --> 00:57:32.849
a fucking boxing fan. I'm not an analyst like

00:57:32.849 --> 00:57:36.269
fucking all these other guys. I'm in the fucking

00:57:36.269 --> 00:57:41.289
gym every day. What the fuck do I know? He might

00:57:41.289 --> 00:57:43.989
just be in it for the money. All very compelling

00:57:43.989 --> 00:57:47.869
points that you made, both of you. I am going

00:57:47.869 --> 00:57:51.050
to stand by. I would very much like for there

00:57:51.050 --> 00:57:55.849
to be another draw. Simply because it's too fucking

00:57:55.849 --> 00:57:59.960
funny. To have three draws in a row. Arguably

00:57:59.960 --> 00:58:05.920
lost. More than likely. Probably did lose. But

00:58:05.920 --> 00:58:11.000
you got a draw anyway. Oh my god. Let's not remember

00:58:11.000 --> 00:58:14.320
that. The Fabian Maidana scores. Were also a

00:58:14.320 --> 00:58:19.579
little wide. They were a little wide. Considering

00:58:19.579 --> 00:58:22.079
that Maidana. Actually gave him trouble too.

00:58:23.739 --> 00:58:31.139
So this is. Man, please, please, Ryan, free these

00:58:31.139 --> 00:58:35.400
shackles. The Devin Haney rematch would be excellent

00:58:35.400 --> 00:58:38.960
if it was a unification. It's probably going

00:58:38.960 --> 00:58:42.360
to happen regardless. They're going to call it

00:58:42.360 --> 00:58:44.880
the legendary unification fight, like how they

00:58:44.880 --> 00:58:49.059
did with Crawford and Spence, Spence and Porter.

00:58:49.579 --> 00:58:52.059
They're going to try to put it like, which it

00:58:52.059 --> 00:58:54.829
will. It's going to be up there with. It's probably

00:58:54.829 --> 00:58:56.610
one of the most popular welterweight unifications

00:58:56.610 --> 00:59:00.050
in history. Yeah. But, I mean, I don't know.

00:59:00.929 --> 00:59:02.969
If it happens naturally like that, I'll be happy.

00:59:03.309 --> 00:59:08.230
But, I don't know. No tears will be shed for

00:59:08.230 --> 00:59:13.389
Mario Barrios' title reign. No. Not at all. Not

00:59:13.389 --> 00:59:18.510
even Omyra Figueroa's. Well, I don't think she's

00:59:18.510 --> 00:59:22.329
even around anymore. No, they split up. What's

00:59:22.329 --> 00:59:24.559
up with her now? She's back on the market, baby.

00:59:25.579 --> 00:59:29.320
Oh, Leo. Leo, you got them B -sized connections

00:59:29.320 --> 00:59:32.099
to Bob because he calls you up to B -fig. But

00:59:32.099 --> 00:59:34.340
how good we've been talking about him. Like,

00:59:34.360 --> 00:59:37.780
hey, introduce me to your sister. Oh, my God.

00:59:39.099 --> 00:59:40.840
I wonder why they split up. That's actually kind

00:59:40.840 --> 00:59:44.039
of interesting. Yeah, there's no rationale. All

00:59:44.039 --> 00:59:47.559
I've found is social media posts saying something

00:59:47.559 --> 00:59:50.940
like, I have stepped into the hardest role in...

00:59:51.829 --> 00:59:56.369
In the world. Being a single mother. With no

00:59:56.369 --> 01:00:02.030
mention of why. Maybe he left her. Because I

01:00:02.030 --> 01:00:05.710
don't see him mentioning her. Yeah. I checked.

01:00:06.949 --> 01:00:10.269
While we were watching the Figueroa fight. For

01:00:10.269 --> 01:00:14.170
some reason. I got zoned in on it. And I checked

01:00:14.170 --> 01:00:16.750
both of their stuff. And they scrubbed each other.

01:00:18.630 --> 01:00:20.570
Jesus Christ. And they have a kid together too.

01:00:20.750 --> 01:00:25.929
They do. Well, I don't know. Maybe he was, like,

01:00:25.949 --> 01:00:28.570
doing some shit behind her back, or maybe she

01:00:28.570 --> 01:00:30.809
was doing shit behind his back. But to scrub

01:00:30.809 --> 01:00:32.269
like that with a kid, I don't know. That seems

01:00:32.269 --> 01:00:37.469
kind of interesting. That's harsh. B -Sides drama.

01:00:38.030 --> 01:00:41.949
Boxing B -Sides drama club over here. Yeah. Well,

01:00:42.130 --> 01:00:47.829
I mean, after Saturday, when Ryan Garcia takes

01:00:47.829 --> 01:00:51.900
Barrios' title, he'll still have a... The baby

01:00:51.900 --> 01:00:56.260
will still have a world champion uncle. It's

01:00:56.260 --> 01:01:03.300
a better role model. Yeah. And soon to be owner

01:01:03.300 --> 01:01:12.599
of a podcast and ex -military. Stepfather. Why

01:01:12.599 --> 01:01:16.679
not? Fuck it. I'm going for it. I gotta go to

01:01:16.679 --> 01:01:23.840
Waslaco, Texas. Let's see. Last words on the

01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:30.519
ring high stakes. High stakes? I'm hungry. The

01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:37.000
real main event is Russell vs. Hiroko. The people's

01:01:37.000 --> 01:01:40.880
main event. I wonder why it's not like a dual

01:01:40.880 --> 01:01:46.519
headline. Or even like a PBC. I actually liked

01:01:46.519 --> 01:01:49.179
when PBC did the two, two charlots in one night.

01:01:50.639 --> 01:01:52.880
That was, that was a really, that was a really

01:01:52.880 --> 01:01:56.179
good card and idea. But what I mean is like,

01:01:56.199 --> 01:02:00.320
it's, it's on, it's on DAZN and PBC. Oh, have

01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:04.340
it streaming on both networks. Yeah. I thought

01:02:04.340 --> 01:02:05.960
you were talking about doing like the two, two

01:02:05.960 --> 01:02:08.400
cards thing. And I'm like, ah, that was, that

01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:11.019
was so good. No, like, seriously, it just fills

01:02:11.019 --> 01:02:13.280
up. It was such a good idea, though, like, because

01:02:13.280 --> 01:02:15.760
you basically have two good undercards, two good

01:02:15.760 --> 01:02:20.599
mains, one price, all in one place on one afternoon.

01:02:21.460 --> 01:02:24.320
It's great. Now we got that shit on the zone.

01:02:25.000 --> 01:02:29.239
No, we don't. I wish we had. I wish we had cards

01:02:29.239 --> 01:02:32.199
that good on the zone. Remember when Turkey said

01:02:32.199 --> 01:02:35.400
he was going to do a pay -per -view for $25 and

01:02:35.400 --> 01:02:37.380
then said it was going to be free? And then his

01:02:37.380 --> 01:02:38.900
own remember when his own said pay -per -view

01:02:38.900 --> 01:02:41.099
was dead and then gave Tevin Farmer six million

01:02:41.099 --> 01:02:44.360
billion dollars. I think I saw a video the other

01:02:44.360 --> 01:02:46.239
day of a generational boxing one. It was fucking

01:02:46.239 --> 01:02:48.099
about Tevin Farmer. I was like, okay, I'm not

01:02:48.099 --> 01:02:50.699
watching this shit. Oh, I saw that exact like

01:02:50.699 --> 01:02:53.380
TikTok and I was like, we're really glazing Tevin

01:02:53.380 --> 01:02:58.579
Farmer right now. Yeah. What's this? What's this

01:02:58.579 --> 01:03:01.139
shit? I mean, I'll respect Tevin Farmer. Respect

01:03:01.139 --> 01:03:04.960
to him like over earning and overachieving. But

01:03:04.960 --> 01:03:10.489
like. The latter, like, half of his career is

01:03:10.489 --> 01:03:13.710
literally just, like, Eddie Heard throwing money

01:03:13.710 --> 01:03:18.929
away. And then Floyd Schofield becoming the king.

01:03:19.789 --> 01:03:22.750
All right, one more card before we get out of

01:03:22.750 --> 01:03:27.889
here. Sunday, February 22nd, Salida promotions

01:03:27.889 --> 01:03:35.539
on DAZN in Detroit. Oh. There's really only one

01:03:35.539 --> 01:03:39.639
fight on here that really matters. Clarissa Shields,

01:03:39.639 --> 01:03:43.559
the undisputed heavyweight champion. Oh, this

01:03:43.559 --> 01:03:47.480
is at heavyweight too? Yeah. Oh man, Cruz Dizern

01:03:47.480 --> 01:03:52.159
is going to be immobile. Rematching Franchon

01:03:52.159 --> 01:03:55.940
Cruz Dizern. They've made their pro debut against

01:03:55.940 --> 01:04:03.059
each other. Fuckin' 2016. What was that at like...

01:04:03.159 --> 01:04:09.000
Super welterweight? Super middleweight. Heavyweight

01:04:09.000 --> 01:04:11.280
is such a... This is the fakest division ever

01:04:11.280 --> 01:04:14.300
to exist in boxing. Women's heavyweight? Women's

01:04:14.300 --> 01:04:21.000
heavyweight. Oh my god. Like, I can't... For

01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:23.900
the record, Cruz Dizern is getting dragged up

01:04:23.900 --> 01:04:29.659
from super middleweight for this fight. Like...

01:04:29.659 --> 01:04:34.429
Man. Like, Clarissa really, I don't think she

01:04:34.429 --> 01:04:38.349
has better uses of her time, frankly, but I also

01:04:38.349 --> 01:04:40.670
don't think getting mad when people say no one

01:04:40.670 --> 01:04:44.289
watches your fights is also, like, there's both,

01:04:44.389 --> 01:04:48.869
this is a rare, like, both sides of a fighter's

01:04:48.869 --> 01:04:51.989
validity in regards to viewership argument are

01:04:51.989 --> 01:04:55.269
actually correct. I really wish Shadesha Green

01:04:55.269 --> 01:04:57.650
didn't suck. If she didn't suck, we would have

01:04:57.650 --> 01:04:59.849
had... It would have been actually a pretty good

01:04:59.849 --> 01:05:06.329
name for a shield. But, uh, no. The... Just to

01:05:06.329 --> 01:05:09.989
add to the, like, calling this the fakest division,

01:05:10.210 --> 01:05:15.230
the different sanctioning bodies have the weight

01:05:15.230 --> 01:05:19.389
the same, and I believe it's 175. Some of them

01:05:19.389 --> 01:05:21.449
call that heavyweight, others call that light

01:05:21.449 --> 01:05:25.409
heavyweight. But, uh, yeah. Oh, shit! The WBF?

01:05:25.869 --> 01:05:31.250
title's gonna be on the line too oh my god holy

01:05:31.250 --> 01:05:39.349
shit oh my god dude i'm just oh my god i'm just

01:05:39.349 --> 01:05:43.090
so over like this isn't like a fighter i can

01:05:43.090 --> 01:05:45.170
say when will you fight anyone good like no when

01:05:45.170 --> 01:05:46.929
will someone good appear at your weight class

01:05:46.929 --> 01:05:54.800
before you age out she is currently 30. I know,

01:05:54.920 --> 01:05:57.059
which means we got like 10 more years for someone

01:05:57.059 --> 01:06:06.000
else to pop up who's okay. By age 45, I think

01:06:06.000 --> 01:06:07.980
she'll be beatable by the people around her,

01:06:08.039 --> 01:06:17.039
though. BoxRec only has one page of women's heavyweights.

01:06:17.599 --> 01:06:24.760
Only 49 women on those. And only four, no, five,

01:06:25.099 --> 01:06:29.079
hold on, only six with winning records above

01:06:29.079 --> 01:06:35.079
1 -0. Yeah, a good chunk of these are 0 -2, 0

01:06:35.079 --> 01:06:45.699
-3. 9 -12 -1, 16 -38 -0. 16 -38 -0 is such an

01:06:45.699 --> 01:06:48.119
entertaining record because how did you fight?

01:06:48.699 --> 01:06:50.920
You're just fighting people who don't exist.

01:06:52.519 --> 01:06:56.000
Actually, never mind. Wait, she's at heavyweight

01:06:56.000 --> 01:06:59.260
right now, but she did fight Amanda Serrano in

01:06:59.260 --> 01:07:08.340
2011 at 126. 15 years ago, man. Holy shit. That's

01:07:08.340 --> 01:07:10.579
how dire it is. We have featherweights fighting

01:07:10.579 --> 01:07:14.480
at heavyweight. The number two ranked heavyweight

01:07:14.480 --> 01:07:17.739
is a 7 -0, what is that, Colombian. She's 24

01:07:17.739 --> 01:07:19.820
years old. You know what? Might as well just

01:07:19.820 --> 01:07:23.039
throw her in. Throw her in with shields. There's

01:07:23.039 --> 01:07:28.760
no other. She's 24, considering the rest of the

01:07:28.760 --> 01:07:32.940
top five is above age 35. Yeah, and this Colombian

01:07:32.940 --> 01:07:34.980
chick, she's been heavyweight the whole time,

01:07:35.079 --> 01:07:38.760
so it's not like she's moving up from... Maybe

01:07:38.760 --> 01:07:44.139
the size. Maybe the size will do it. I don't

01:07:44.139 --> 01:07:47.320
know. I think Shields still has another 15 years

01:07:47.320 --> 01:07:51.320
before she becomes beatable. No one's going to

01:07:51.320 --> 01:07:54.639
be touching her. She's got another 15 years.

01:07:56.619 --> 01:08:00.900
That's a crazy thing to think, though. It's not

01:08:00.900 --> 01:08:04.820
even hyperbolic when I say that she has 15 years

01:08:04.820 --> 01:08:10.090
on this planet before she becomes beatable. Yeah,

01:08:10.090 --> 01:08:15.070
any fights that she takes from now to then, she's

01:08:15.070 --> 01:08:19.670
not going to be taking any damage. No. Realist,

01:08:19.689 --> 01:08:22.210
if she wanted to keep going to age 50, she could

01:08:22.210 --> 01:08:26.550
still be competitive at age 50. She hasn't taken

01:08:26.550 --> 01:08:30.750
any damage in her career. She's skilled on top

01:08:30.750 --> 01:08:32.989
of being athletic, but the skills still remain

01:08:32.989 --> 01:08:35.909
even as that wanes. It's not like there's any

01:08:35.909 --> 01:08:40.000
power to fade. Yeah, there was the talk of paying

01:08:40.000 --> 01:08:43.859
Layla Ali to come out of retirement just to make

01:08:43.859 --> 01:08:48.060
some kind of compelling fight. I think she has

01:08:48.060 --> 01:08:52.399
to start doing the George Foreman seven women

01:08:52.399 --> 01:08:56.859
in one night. Just line up seven women for her

01:08:56.859 --> 01:08:59.699
to fight back to back to back to back. I'd watch

01:08:59.699 --> 01:09:03.159
it. I'd watch it and you don't even have to fill

01:09:03.159 --> 01:09:06.720
in an undercard. That's the card. The only ones

01:09:06.720 --> 01:09:09.199
who really have a chance are at the end. Yeah,

01:09:09.279 --> 01:09:11.079
at the end. You put the best opponents at the

01:09:11.079 --> 01:09:14.739
end, and that's how you do it. It's not even...

01:09:14.739 --> 01:09:18.260
I can't even... Most fighters, you can come up

01:09:18.260 --> 01:09:20.300
with a reason to slander them. Clarissa Shield

01:09:20.300 --> 01:09:24.020
has no... Zero people within 50 pounds of her

01:09:24.020 --> 01:09:27.319
that can give any sort of reasonable challenge.

01:09:28.500 --> 01:09:32.770
It's just hilarious, honestly. Maybe she should

01:09:32.770 --> 01:09:36.890
have stayed an amateur, honestly. Until recently.

01:09:37.489 --> 01:09:39.850
She probably could have had another Olympic medal.

01:09:40.770 --> 01:09:43.329
Yeah, probably could have gotten endorsements.

01:09:44.270 --> 01:09:46.810
Yeah, more endorsements, another Olympic medal,

01:09:46.909 --> 01:09:49.069
and then still turn pro and have the same career.

01:09:49.550 --> 01:09:52.789
And the 200K for making the Olympic team. Yeah.

01:09:53.329 --> 01:09:55.409
She would have had the same career no matter

01:09:55.409 --> 01:09:59.529
what moment she turned pro in. So, like, I don't

01:09:59.529 --> 01:10:02.380
know. The fact that we're even discussing this

01:10:02.380 --> 01:10:04.279
instead of the quality of the fight itself speaks

01:10:04.279 --> 01:10:09.579
volumes with her at this point. Yep. There's

01:10:09.579 --> 01:10:12.659
not a whole lot to say on it, because Clarissa's

01:10:12.659 --> 01:10:14.439
going to whip that ass, and that's pretty much

01:10:14.439 --> 01:10:20.899
it. That's about it. Mm -hmm. And how. Okay.

01:10:22.140 --> 01:10:24.380
What if your best thinking day wasn't a lucky

01:10:24.380 --> 01:10:27.159
accident? What if you could access that clarity,

01:10:27.300 --> 01:10:29.939
that sharp focus, that feeling of being completely

01:10:29.939 --> 01:10:33.380
on whenever you need it? We live in a world of

01:10:33.380 --> 01:10:35.920
distraction, where mental fog can settle in before

01:10:35.920 --> 01:10:39.420
noon. You need a natural edge, a simple way to

01:10:39.420 --> 01:10:42.279
clear the noise and elevate your mind. Introducing

are heading into Barrios Garcia. Lee Wood, Josh

01:13:24.220 --> 01:13:28.060
Warrington. Nah, we're doing Antoine Russell

01:13:28.060 --> 01:13:32.460
and Andy Hiroka. That's the weekend we got. Parting

01:13:32.460 --> 01:13:41.100
words. I hope Ryan Garcia wins because that'll

01:13:41.100 --> 01:13:44.000
mean a Devin Haney rematch is... Almost certain.

01:13:45.520 --> 01:13:48.640
Or maybe he could fight Brian Norman Jr.? Well,

01:13:48.800 --> 01:13:52.380
no. I had to throw him in there, guys. I'm sorry.

01:13:52.539 --> 01:13:59.159
Get him out of here. On a real note, the people's

01:13:59.159 --> 01:14:02.239
main event, Andy Hirooka and Gary Antoine Russell,

01:14:02.420 --> 01:14:07.079
I really hope that fight is as good as it promises.

01:14:07.380 --> 01:14:09.680
Because that's such an easy fight of the year.

01:14:10.659 --> 01:14:21.680
Contender. Just on paper. Alright. That's going

01:14:21.680 --> 01:14:24.060
to do it for this edition of the Boxing B -Sides.

01:14:25.020 --> 01:14:30.060
We'll see you on the other side of Garcia Barrios.
