00:00:00.740 --> 00:00:04.200
The B -Side in 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.

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

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

00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:26.960
Here we go. Boxing B -Sides. We are back to talk

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.689
the fights. I am joined by the homies. Josh,

00:00:30.689 --> 00:00:34.350
how goes it? Yes. Good. This is going to be a

00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:39.710
fun one. And the one and only Saul. Welcome back,

00:00:39.750 --> 00:00:45.689
guys. Another week. More fights to talk. But

00:00:45.689 --> 00:00:49.009
I got to talk. Another week. Another belt without

00:00:49.009 --> 00:00:53.130
Virgil. I got to talk about my little homie Punch.

00:00:53.729 --> 00:00:58.119
Punch the monkey. His name is Punch. I just...

00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.780
I was immediately drawn to him. He has graduated.

00:01:01.939 --> 00:01:05.019
They're taking away his little stuffed orangutan.

00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:10.319
And because he has been accepted by... They call

00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.939
them troops. The monkey fucking clans. They're

00:01:13.939 --> 00:01:19.840
troops. So the adults of the group, of the troop,

00:01:19.980 --> 00:01:23.680
are... Like, they hug him and they groom him

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.909
and stuff. So he's... He's going to make it.

00:01:26.989 --> 00:01:34.549
Punch is a big boy now. All right. A little bit

00:01:34.549 --> 00:01:37.329
of MMA recap. Extending the hand of friendship

00:01:37.329 --> 00:01:40.390
to our fellows Nathan and Isaac over at Ultimate

00:01:40.390 --> 00:01:49.010
F and Casuals. Oh, man. This March 7th, UFC 326.

00:01:50.189 --> 00:01:55.739
This was a fucking mistake on my part. last when

00:01:55.739 --> 00:01:59.680
we talked about it a few weeks ago i had said

00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:04.560
there's no um there's no boxing on this weekend

00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:09.159
right on this day in particular yes so you there's

00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.180
a clear path if you are if you are just really

00:02:12.180 --> 00:02:15.120
hard up and you really want fights and i listed

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.870
a couple that are that were supposed to be engaging,

00:02:19.110 --> 00:02:22.990
exciting, striker -heavy, not a lot of grappling,

00:02:23.189 --> 00:02:27.409
and boy, was I fucking wrong. Me when I lie.

00:02:27.909 --> 00:02:33.830
Yeah, holy shit. One that I did call correctly,

00:02:34.210 --> 00:02:37.530
Sumu Derji, in the early prelims, had a really

00:02:37.530 --> 00:02:42.509
fun fight with Jesus Aguilar. Man, there was

00:02:42.509 --> 00:02:46.009
one in the prelims, Cody Garbrandt. Ended up

00:02:46.009 --> 00:02:50.370
winning a UD over Xiao Long. He got kicked so

00:02:50.370 --> 00:02:55.189
hard in the nuts, he threw up. I saw that happening.

00:02:55.229 --> 00:02:57.629
I was like, brother, I feel you. I know exactly

00:02:57.629 --> 00:03:02.750
what that pain is like. Jesus. So there was that.

00:03:03.330 --> 00:03:06.069
There's a pretty sick knockout to open up the

00:03:06.069 --> 00:03:11.550
main portion. Gregory Rodriguez. Is he the one

00:03:11.550 --> 00:03:16.069
that goes by RoboCop? I think he is. Maybe. I

00:03:16.069 --> 00:03:21.870
think it's him. The two guys are both Brazilian

00:03:21.870 --> 00:03:25.889
and whatever. Sorry, guys. I'm racist as fuck.

00:03:28.389 --> 00:03:32.189
Other than that, like... Oh, Drew Dober. Holy

00:03:32.189 --> 00:03:39.270
shit. TKO2 over Michael Johnson. There were rumors

00:03:39.270 --> 00:03:43.639
that... Oh, the nephew, the kidnapped nephew.

00:03:43.740 --> 00:03:48.639
The gangster disciples, that notorious gang,

00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:52.819
kidnapped Michael Johnson's nephew, and they

00:03:52.819 --> 00:03:55.719
told him, throw the fight in the second round.

00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:00.979
And the fight got pulled off of the sportsbooks

00:04:00.979 --> 00:04:06.300
because there were changes in the money line.

00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:08.460
I don't know what the fuck that means. I think

00:04:08.460 --> 00:04:11.419
there's a lot of money going on. michael johnson

00:04:11.419 --> 00:04:15.840
stopped in two so they're like hey this is kind

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:19.019
of funky and they pulled it but the fight went

00:04:19.019 --> 00:04:25.860
on he ends up getting stopped in two uh um i

00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:31.480
i'll get into the my the conspiracy part of it

00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:36.439
more on ultimate effing casuals i i think he

00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.620
sold the fight i think he did um but Honestly,

00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:44.879
that was like the peak of the excitement for

00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.339
the rest of the card. And I apologize to anybody

00:04:48.339 --> 00:04:55.420
who, on my advice, watched this. Specifically,

00:04:55.459 --> 00:04:58.939
the main and co -main. Fuck it, even the one

00:04:58.939 --> 00:05:02.779
before that, Raul Rosas over Rob Font. If you

00:05:02.779 --> 00:05:05.439
watch these fights, because I said they should

00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:08.470
be exciting, they should be fun. You have my

00:05:08.470 --> 00:05:13.649
sincerest apologies. I wouldn't blame you. It's

00:05:13.649 --> 00:05:18.370
all Dana's fault. I blame Virgil Ortiz. Why doesn't

00:05:18.370 --> 00:05:22.350
he have a belt yet? Charles Oliveira, BMF champ

00:05:22.350 --> 00:05:28.709
before Virgil Ortiz. Honestly, I just watched

00:05:28.709 --> 00:05:34.720
softcore gay porn in there. That's, yeah, that's

00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:36.600
what I was saying. It was the 25 -minute cuddle

00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:39.360
session in the main event. Like, yeah. Goddamn.

00:05:39.860 --> 00:05:45.259
Like, Max is, he did his signature little, like,

00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:47.319
point down where he's like, we're gonna stand

00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:51.379
toe -to -toe. And Oliveira went for it. Here's

00:05:51.379 --> 00:05:53.860
the problem. They only had six fucking seconds

00:05:53.860 --> 00:05:59.259
left on the clock. Oh, my God. God. So, it's

00:05:59.259 --> 00:06:03.240
like Devin Haney. You can, you can do that. You

00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:07.920
just fucking choose not to. And the funny thing

00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.279
is that Charles Oliveira is not a boring fighter.

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.399
He's not. Yeah, it's just this fight was just...

00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:19.379
This was ass. Yeah. I feel bad for Max. Apparently,

00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:25.139
for whatever consolation it is, he was awarded

00:06:25.139 --> 00:06:33.120
his jiu -jitsu black belt because he... Was facing

00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.519
a superior grappler. Like superior rank or whatever.

00:06:37.060 --> 00:06:41.279
And he defended himself. Adequately. So they

00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:48.319
promoted him. Yeah. Get after it. But like I

00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:53.220
said. I'll talk more about the. Conspiracy parts.

00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.500
Of the Drew Dober fight. Over on Ultimate F and

00:06:56.500 --> 00:07:00.300
Casuals. Wherever fine podcasts. Are distributed.

00:07:00.420 --> 00:07:04.759
You can find that. Moving into the boxing news.

00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:10.360
Most Valuable Promotions signs a long -term deal

00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.439
with... I misspelled it here, too. God damn it.

00:07:13.899 --> 00:07:20.720
ESPN. Not EPSN. MVP TV deal before top rank.

00:07:22.660 --> 00:07:27.180
You want Jake Paul before you want... They even

00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:33.850
founded the MVPW. where they're going to be putting

00:07:33.850 --> 00:07:37.850
up the women's fights. Brutal. Not brutal that

00:07:37.850 --> 00:07:39.870
they're doing that. Brutal that like the state

00:07:39.870 --> 00:07:47.670
of our sport. I think ESPN, ESPN, even though

00:07:47.670 --> 00:07:52.470
they let UFC leave, even though the top rank

00:07:52.470 --> 00:07:55.569
deal expired and they are still like struggling

00:07:55.569 --> 00:07:59.740
to renew it. I think ESPN had always intended

00:07:59.740 --> 00:08:04.839
to stay in the fight sports game. They have maintained

00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:09.879
their broadcasting deal with PFL, which is like

00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:14.139
a secondary promotion. It's like the retirement

00:08:14.139 --> 00:08:19.480
league for UFC, pretty much. What I think happened

00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:27.589
here is MVP and MVPW offers fights. at a lower

00:08:27.589 --> 00:08:32.090
cost because i'm like it's an unfortunate reality

00:08:32.090 --> 00:08:35.029
the women don't get paid nearly as much as the

00:08:35.029 --> 00:08:37.549
men even if they're like undisputed champions

00:08:37.549 --> 00:08:41.570
and so that's what i think is happening here

00:08:41.570 --> 00:08:45.610
is espn wanted cheap fights and they get to say

00:08:45.610 --> 00:08:50.710
uh we're you know super gung -ho about putting

00:08:50.710 --> 00:08:54.250
women on the forefront like even though we're

00:08:54.250 --> 00:08:58.399
paying them less behind the scenes but they wanted

00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:02.980
fights they wanted them cheap mvpw could oblige

00:09:02.980 --> 00:09:07.440
uh oh yeah uh xander zayas you're not you're

00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:10.779
gonna you get like fucking like three to five

00:09:10.779 --> 00:09:13.860
women's fights for the cost of xander zayas the

00:09:13.860 --> 00:09:17.480
unified champ right so that's what i think is

00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.750
happening here I think Shanada put it nicely

00:09:20.750 --> 00:09:23.370
when she said, like, it's unfortunate that they

00:09:23.370 --> 00:09:29.409
went this route because even as much as we try

00:09:29.409 --> 00:09:33.070
to shill for them, women's fights are often pretty

00:09:33.070 --> 00:09:37.370
fucking mid. Oh, yeah. It's unfortunate. It's

00:09:37.370 --> 00:09:43.090
just reality. What they could have done is signed

00:09:43.090 --> 00:09:49.309
Probox. That's... You want... competitive matchups.

00:09:49.370 --> 00:09:52.669
You want entertaining fights. You want big knockouts.

00:09:53.309 --> 00:09:57.370
That's the shit that you want for ESPN. Probox

00:09:57.370 --> 00:10:05.169
delivers all of that. Poo -poo. Oh, man. Speaking

00:10:05.169 --> 00:10:11.049
of top rank, they signed Sammy Contreras, 5 -0

00:10:11.049 --> 00:10:15.620
pro. Amateur standout. He had like, I lost count.

00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.980
They said like 15 national championships or whatever.

00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.679
They signed him to a multi -year deal. The only

00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:24.899
reason I bring this up is that Top Rank doesn't

00:10:24.899 --> 00:10:30.460
have a fucking broadcast deal yet. Why? Sammy,

00:10:30.860 --> 00:10:34.720
bro. What are you doing, dude? And he got 2B.

00:10:35.350 --> 00:10:37.789
Yeah, you're fighting on fucking Tubi? Is that

00:10:37.789 --> 00:10:41.350
what you're... Tubi's got to share the air with,

00:10:41.470 --> 00:10:45.190
what's it called? Swerve TV. They just put on

00:10:45.190 --> 00:10:50.029
their Teen Titans, bro. All the shit they're

00:10:50.029 --> 00:10:52.929
putting on Tubi. It's either this or Swerve TV,

00:10:53.029 --> 00:10:58.450
dude. Yeah, it's... I know that American promoters

00:10:58.450 --> 00:11:02.409
are like... It's a dumpster fire right now. But

00:11:02.409 --> 00:11:06.700
of... The various dumpsters and their fires.

00:11:07.419 --> 00:11:12.120
Top Rank, I would say, is the fiercest blaze

00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:15.460
at the moment. And that's the one you sign with.

00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:20.500
I don't know. Maybe you grew up watching Bob

00:11:20.500 --> 00:11:23.200
Arum. Yeah, you watch Thursday Night Fights.

00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:27.960
There has to be some reason that he decided to

00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:31.159
go with Top Rank. Maybe they're the only ones

00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.860
that were going to sign him. I don't know. Maybe

00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:36.840
we should hit him up and see what's up. Yeah,

00:11:36.860 --> 00:11:38.679
we should ask him. We should give it a shot.

00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:43.879
Because this is an odd... It's an interesting

00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:47.080
move. And I'm curious what the thought process

00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:52.620
is. Huh. Interesting thought processes. Tim Zhu

00:11:52.620 --> 00:11:57.919
will be facing Dennis Nuria in Australia on April

00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:02.240
5th. This is leading up to the Errol Spence fight.

00:12:03.539 --> 00:12:08.899
Fucking upside down people, man. Albanian middleweight.

00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:14.360
I'm looking for a lifeline here. Can somebody

00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:21.620
give me something here? Which one? Tim Zu and

00:12:21.620 --> 00:12:29.789
Denis Nouria. No. I'm not. No. No. No. Thank

00:12:29.789 --> 00:12:34.490
you. I will continue drowning. No, thanks. Move

00:12:34.490 --> 00:12:41.429
on. All right. Moving on. Jason Maloney will

00:12:41.429 --> 00:12:43.169
be facing - No, that's not how you spelled it.

00:12:44.029 --> 00:12:47.629
I was going to get to that. Jason Maloney will

00:12:47.629 --> 00:12:52.250
be facing Andre Donovan on April 23rd. Fucking

00:12:52.250 --> 00:12:56.789
the baloniest of the baloney brothers is just

00:12:56.789 --> 00:13:00.720
still doing it. He signed with Tasman Fighters,

00:13:00.779 --> 00:13:07.019
who notoriously our favorite cruiserweight is

00:13:07.019 --> 00:13:09.820
affiliated with them. We'll be talking about

00:13:09.820 --> 00:13:14.059
him in a moment. But Jason Maloney, like, bro,

00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:17.039
you got your ass fucking taken to school by Tenshin

00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:21.519
Asakawa. You might want to read that. Shinada

00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:25.379
has more to say about this than us. Yes. She

00:13:25.379 --> 00:13:28.049
was actually like... Is this the guy who got,

00:13:28.110 --> 00:13:31.490
like, beat by tension? I was like, yep, that's

00:13:31.490 --> 00:13:35.070
the one. She's like, Jesus Christ. I can't defend

00:13:35.070 --> 00:13:42.470
him. Yep. There you go. Jason Bologna, still

00:13:42.470 --> 00:13:47.830
doing it. Speaking of Bologna brothers, IBF champ

00:13:47.830 --> 00:13:51.570
Willy Baldo Garcia will be facing his mandatory

00:13:51.570 --> 00:13:57.289
challenger, Andrew Maloney. The purse bid was

00:13:57.289 --> 00:14:01.909
won by the Kameda Brothers. So, Andrew Bologna

00:14:01.909 --> 00:14:06.370
getting a fucking title shot. Before Virgil.

00:14:09.070 --> 00:14:13.149
Man, can y 'all shut up, brothers? It gets funnier

00:14:13.149 --> 00:14:17.110
every week, dude. It really does get better every

00:14:17.110 --> 00:14:23.169
time. It does, but it feels worse. extends beyond

00:14:23.169 --> 00:14:28.009
parody. It's even funnier that he still doesn't

00:14:28.009 --> 00:14:33.230
have a belt. He hasn't even fought for one. Honestly,

00:14:33.850 --> 00:14:38.309
that's the harder part. Currently, his career

00:14:38.309 --> 00:14:45.549
is in a shitty state right now. I get it. It's

00:14:45.549 --> 00:14:48.269
a bad time right now, but all the time before

00:14:48.269 --> 00:14:52.500
that... His career looks like... If you just

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:54.440
ignore his record, the way his career looks like

00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.759
is that he lost the title challenge and then

00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:59.240
is having trouble getting on that path back.

00:14:59.700 --> 00:15:02.080
But no, he just never got in the ring for one.

00:15:04.379 --> 00:15:07.340
Interims do not count. And that's what kills

00:15:07.340 --> 00:15:09.960
me. That's what kills me. Every week you'll see

00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:12.820
the worst fighter you've ever heard of so far

00:15:12.820 --> 00:15:18.720
yet is either fighting for a belt or has a belt.

00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.059
But this guy still, no. No, he's in court, actually.

00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:25.700
Fighting for the right to lose to a guy who doesn't

00:15:25.700 --> 00:15:32.820
have a belt. Well, I will say this. He will get

00:15:32.820 --> 00:15:36.259
a belt after he beats Sebastian Van Doren if

00:15:36.259 --> 00:15:38.179
he ever gets that fight. That's all I'm going

00:15:38.179 --> 00:15:45.000
to say. You know what? I'm sure Virgil's just

00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:49.360
this bit. It's the Joel Embiid conference finals

00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:52.700
bit because it's the gift that never stops giving.

00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:04.279
Do you remember Andrew Maloney versus Junto Nakatani?

00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:08.919
Oh, that's one of my favorite highlights. Knockout

00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:12.259
of the year. My knockout of the year. Just erased

00:16:12.259 --> 00:16:18.570
him. Yeah. He fought for and lost a title, has

00:16:18.570 --> 00:16:22.570
since rebuilt his career, and is getting a title

00:16:22.570 --> 00:16:31.009
shot. And Virgil is in arbitration. It is a difficult

00:16:31.009 --> 00:16:40.529
time. Moving on. Boxing guys ate us. Just the

00:16:40.529 --> 00:16:44.230
Virgil bros, unfortunately. Just Virgil bros.

00:16:45.420 --> 00:16:49.779
WBA orders Floyd Schofield versus Lucas Body

00:16:49.779 --> 00:16:57.519
for their vacant title. Let's fucking go. Yeah,

00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:00.240
Saul, let it rip. What do you got for Schofield?

00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:02.899
Did they ever say what day it was going to be

00:17:02.899 --> 00:17:09.640
on? I have not seen. Because I hope it's going

00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:14.230
to be nearby. I would love to go watch that fight.

00:17:14.349 --> 00:17:17.029
Is Scofield local to you? No, no, no, no, no,

00:17:17.029 --> 00:17:20.809
not at all, not at all. I just want to see him

00:17:20.809 --> 00:17:22.869
fight. Just because I've been glazing him like

00:17:22.869 --> 00:17:25.130
crazy. Yeah, for the love of the game, I've been

00:17:25.130 --> 00:17:29.549
glazing him like crazy, so. Bring a USB -C cable.

00:17:31.890 --> 00:17:37.589
Right up the nose. I'll tell you, I'll tell you

00:17:37.589 --> 00:17:40.250
this. You need to stop standing fighters, I'm

00:17:40.250 --> 00:17:45.450
realizing. Hold up, hold up, hold up. I'm standing

00:17:45.450 --> 00:17:49.269
Floyd Schofield. And I'm standing... First of

00:17:49.269 --> 00:17:51.250
all, I stand Brian Norman Jr. because that's

00:17:51.250 --> 00:17:53.769
kind of how I got onto this podcast. It's gone

00:17:53.769 --> 00:17:55.890
wrong. It's just gone wrong every time you stand

00:17:55.890 --> 00:17:58.250
a guy. Hey, hey, hey. Hold up, hold up, hold

00:17:58.250 --> 00:18:01.789
up. Floyd Schofield hasn't lost yet. He just

00:18:01.789 --> 00:18:05.549
pulled out twice. And he's only pulled... Virgil

00:18:05.549 --> 00:18:08.859
hasn't lost. Floyd Schofield hasn't lost. And

00:18:08.859 --> 00:18:11.180
Schofield is fighting for a world title, it seems.

00:18:11.420 --> 00:18:15.160
And he's probably going to win. If he gets into

00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.200
the ring, yes. That's what I wanted to ask you,

00:18:18.299 --> 00:18:23.839
is Lucas Body has been bailed out with some thunderous

00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:29.680
fucking knockouts. Can the very sick, poisoned,

00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:34.519
decrepit Schofield survive that? Hey, who does

00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:37.819
Tim Farmer like that? Who does Devin Farmer like

00:18:37.819 --> 00:18:48.200
that? Jojo Diaz. Not really. Not like that. But,

00:18:48.259 --> 00:18:50.599
no, I stand these fighters, especially Brian

00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:52.079
Norman Jr., because that's how I got into this

00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:54.839
podcast, was standing Brian Norman Jr. and trying

00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:58.019
to defend him to Leo. And it worked for a while.

00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:03.180
I want to offer something that, number one, it's

00:19:03.180 --> 00:19:06.140
twofold, two sides of the same coin. Number one.

00:19:07.470 --> 00:19:10.750
The fact that you stand these guys, just win

00:19:10.750 --> 00:19:15.430
or lose, you still ride for them, like, yes,

00:19:15.670 --> 00:19:20.390
absolutely. Or, on the other side of things,

00:19:20.549 --> 00:19:25.309
if you were standing them and reality didn't

00:19:25.309 --> 00:19:28.390
turn in their favor, you learn things, you grow

00:19:28.390 --> 00:19:31.529
from things, maybe your perspectives change.

00:19:31.869 --> 00:19:37.359
Either way, either stand firm, with what you're

00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.339
with your guy or if you're gonna ditch him then

00:19:41.339 --> 00:19:44.680
admit that you you know you were like mistaken

00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:50.980
all of the these two things were what I proffered

00:19:50.980 --> 00:19:58.619
to Nova Scotia boxing that that's all I was saying

00:19:58.619 --> 00:20:01.980
to him was like dude you're fucking writing for

00:20:01.980 --> 00:20:06.619
for uh galalia fi dude are you serious right

00:20:06.619 --> 00:20:13.339
now and and he's like he's trying to act like

00:20:13.339 --> 00:20:16.920
he didn't like he wasn't and then i'm like bro

00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:19.579
either stand with your guy or admit you were

00:20:19.579 --> 00:20:25.079
wrong either way i like i i really don't want

00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:27.980
to make a fucking big deal about this it's galalia

00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:32.799
fire you're fucking kidding me but That is neither

00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:35.339
here nor there. Floyd Schofield, Lucas Body.

00:20:35.980 --> 00:20:40.240
What are we going to do to celebrate Schofield's

00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:44.640
ascension to world champion? I'm going to go

00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:48.839
on the podcast and celebrate. If he wins. I'm

00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:51.579
going to make another joke about Virgil Ortiz.

00:20:51.859 --> 00:20:54.839
Floyd Schofield, champion for Virgil Ortiz. Champion.

00:20:55.259 --> 00:20:59.319
That's the highlight. I mean, honestly, if...

00:20:59.809 --> 00:21:01.809
To your point that you said right now, Leo, about

00:21:01.809 --> 00:21:07.069
standing by your fighter. I'm just saying. Hamza

00:21:07.069 --> 00:21:10.470
Shiraz lost to Carlos Adamis and everybody dipped.

00:21:10.990 --> 00:21:14.289
He won. Everybody came back. When he beat Berlanga?

00:21:15.289 --> 00:21:18.630
Yeah, when he beat Berlanga. The same. They all

00:21:18.630 --> 00:21:21.509
got the chip. They called him a shitter. He knocked

00:21:21.509 --> 00:21:23.589
out fucking Berlanga and everybody called him

00:21:23.589 --> 00:21:26.369
the king. It's because we hate Berlanga. I shat

00:21:26.369 --> 00:21:30.559
more on Adamis than I did Shiraz. I honestly

00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:32.420
felt that Shiraz was a little weight -drained.

00:21:33.740 --> 00:21:37.920
I knew O'Donnell was going to win. I just knew.

00:21:38.500 --> 00:21:41.319
Well, he's the house guy. Quote -unquote house

00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:45.420
guy, right? Yeah. He didn't win, but he won.

00:21:45.859 --> 00:21:49.819
Right. He didn't win, but he won. Yeah. He got

00:21:49.819 --> 00:21:52.339
a draw, but same reason why Lamont Roach lost.

00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:56.859
Or had a draw twice. Yeah. I'll tell you this,

00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:59.539
though. Go back to Floyd Schofield. Versus Lucas

00:21:59.539 --> 00:22:01.559
Body. I mean, you're right. Lucas Body is a knockout

00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:05.619
puncher. Floyd Schofield, I would say, at the

00:22:05.619 --> 00:22:10.619
top level, isn't as experienced. I mean, he should

00:22:10.619 --> 00:22:13.779
have had a JoJo Diaz. He has a Tevin Farmer,

00:22:13.819 --> 00:22:16.180
but, I mean, Tevin Farmer's lost how many times?

00:22:16.500 --> 00:22:20.039
Seven times, I believe? A lot of those are early

00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:22.440
in his career. Four of them were before anybody

00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:25.500
even knew who he was. Yeah, like, after the first

00:22:25.500 --> 00:22:28.910
four, like, those... That's when we start counting

00:22:28.910 --> 00:22:33.750
is the after four. Losses that actually represent

00:22:33.750 --> 00:22:37.670
him as a fighter. Marquez lost one of his early

00:22:37.670 --> 00:22:40.509
fights. Estrada lost one of his early fights.

00:22:40.750 --> 00:22:43.849
Just two of my personal favorites. I think the

00:22:43.849 --> 00:22:47.390
Jose Pedraza loss onward is when we start counting

00:22:47.390 --> 00:22:51.609
his... Yeah, Pedraza's a legitimate loss. Losing

00:22:51.609 --> 00:22:55.380
your debut by like... Losing your debut, losing

00:22:55.380 --> 00:22:57.880
on points, drawing, like all these are like,

00:22:57.940 --> 00:23:02.779
yeah. Marquez lost his debut. Whatever, dude.

00:23:02.900 --> 00:23:07.220
Nobody cares. And honestly, yeah, you're right.

00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:08.819
You're right. It happens. But, I mean, still.

00:23:09.619 --> 00:23:12.880
I mean, Farmer in recent years still hasn't done

00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:15.500
much. I mean, he fought Zepeda, and he arguably

00:23:15.500 --> 00:23:18.579
beat Zepeda twice. Schofield knocked him out.

00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.289
That's the best you can measure to him. Schofield

00:23:22.289 --> 00:23:29.309
also has fought Rene Guiron, right? They were

00:23:29.309 --> 00:23:32.450
calling him a bum, but now he's on Pro Box, right?

00:23:32.609 --> 00:23:35.549
Doing good things on Pro Box. Yeah, he's doing

00:23:35.549 --> 00:23:37.670
good things on Pro Box. I feel like that win

00:23:37.670 --> 00:23:43.410
is aging pretty decent. I would like to know

00:23:43.410 --> 00:23:48.950
what poison Schofield beat, because that should

00:23:48.950 --> 00:23:55.279
be a dub on his record. Is it a hemlock? Cyanide?

00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:59.859
Oh, my God. Just straight anthrax from Shakur

00:23:59.859 --> 00:24:01.940
Stevenson's camp? You think they could afford

00:24:01.940 --> 00:24:09.839
that? Something, dude. But, I mean, not just

00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:12.980
that, but he would have fucking beat Jojo Diaz.

00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:18.640
Pedro Diaz. I mean, that one was kind of rough

00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.960
to see, but... I mean, I'm... I don't think it's

00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:25.279
rough to see Pedro Diaz go down like that. No,

00:24:25.299 --> 00:24:27.880
I'm saying it's rough to see Jojo Diaz live to

00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:29.759
see another day. Oh, you're right, actually.

00:24:30.900 --> 00:24:32.359
Because Schofield would have knocked him the

00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:37.240
fuck out. Oh, yeah. No, no, that's fair. I feel

00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:38.539
like this fight's probably going to be on a Ryan

00:24:38.539 --> 00:24:41.980
Garcia card. Probably going to be co -main. Who

00:24:41.980 --> 00:24:46.319
promotes Schofield? Golden Boy. Oh, no. He's

00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:50.059
the last man standing on Oscar's table. Yeah,

00:24:50.059 --> 00:24:55.680
he's like their elite prospect turning contender

00:24:55.680 --> 00:25:01.880
guy. Yeah. Fuck, dude. Man, poison yourself again

00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:11.400
and, like, run out your contract. Oh, man. No,

00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:14.849
but he's right. You're right. Whatever it takes

00:25:14.849 --> 00:25:20.170
to get out of that umbrella. Make sure you get

00:25:20.170 --> 00:25:22.210
the measurements right so that you don't die.

00:25:23.390 --> 00:25:27.109
I think seniors got it right after the first

00:25:27.109 --> 00:25:33.329
time. Well calculated. All right, moving on.

00:25:33.529 --> 00:25:37.269
WBC orders Dalton Smith versus Alberto Puello

00:25:37.269 --> 00:25:41.930
for his first defense. Man, that's a stiff challenge

00:25:41.930 --> 00:25:47.589
for Smith. No shit. That's a tough first defense.

00:25:49.769 --> 00:25:55.089
Hindsight being 20 -20. Before that, we were

00:25:55.089 --> 00:25:57.690
thinking Dalton Smith is heading into the fucking

00:25:57.690 --> 00:26:02.470
fire. And now, he's out of the fire and into

00:26:02.470 --> 00:26:05.730
the fucking frying pan. It's just a stylistic

00:26:05.730 --> 00:26:11.819
challenge that is not entirely welcome. I mean,

00:26:11.859 --> 00:26:14.259
it depends on what card he's on. You know, if

00:26:14.259 --> 00:26:18.539
he's on a, you know, PBC or if it's on Matchroom.

00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:24.079
Whichever one. They're not going to rig the fight

00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:29.700
for Pueyo. Well, Premier Boxing Copium would.

00:26:31.099 --> 00:26:34.079
Yeah. It's Alberto Pueyo, dude. Who's Dalton

00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:37.420
Smith with? Is he Matchroom? Yeah, he is Matchroom.

00:26:37.460 --> 00:26:43.000
That's right. Eddie was at the fight. What I

00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:46.339
will say with Don Smith is I do want him to win.

00:26:47.299 --> 00:26:51.000
As much as it pains me to root for a Brit, I

00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:55.099
do like seeing the underdog come up and beat

00:26:55.099 --> 00:26:58.400
everybody else. That's funny. That's funny and

00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:01.420
it's inspiring. You know what, man? I wish him

00:27:01.420 --> 00:27:03.859
great success as long as Virgil doesn't become

00:27:03.859 --> 00:27:08.299
a champ. So that way... This guy's having fun

00:27:08.299 --> 00:27:10.849
with it. I'm having so much fun today because

00:27:10.849 --> 00:27:14.750
there's so much ridiculous bullshit that's gone

00:27:14.750 --> 00:27:18.009
on lately. Like a Brit knocking out Matthias.

00:27:20.329 --> 00:27:26.049
A Brit. A Brit winning against the boogeyman.

00:27:26.190 --> 00:27:29.430
The boogeyman. When does that actually happen?

00:27:30.410 --> 00:27:33.329
It's a British year. Except Nick Ball. We don't

00:27:33.329 --> 00:27:36.920
talk about Nick Ball. He was a sacrifice. He

00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:40.059
was a sacrifice to the boxing gods. Ball was

00:27:40.059 --> 00:27:48.460
sacrificed for ball. I said the same thing last

00:27:48.460 --> 00:27:55.480
week to Shanada about Dalton Smith was the plucky

00:27:55.480 --> 00:28:00.220
upstart. Again, hindsight is 20 -20, but going

00:28:00.220 --> 00:28:03.400
into the Matias fight, we're like, this fucking

00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:06.470
kid's about to get... sent back on a stretcher

00:28:06.470 --> 00:28:09.869
like on a hospital ship he's gonna be sent back

00:28:09.869 --> 00:28:14.089
to the uk but nope he upset the apple cart in

00:28:14.089 --> 00:28:18.930
a big way it would be super cool to see him continue

00:28:18.930 --> 00:28:26.609
that against uh like matthias stylistically it

00:28:26.609 --> 00:28:31.150
can be beaten like as we saw when his chin just

00:28:31.150 --> 00:28:34.640
doesn't hold up anymore Alberto Pueyo, stylistically,

00:28:34.779 --> 00:28:41.140
is a fucking nightmare for Dalton Smith. So that's

00:28:41.140 --> 00:28:47.099
why I don't want to root against my fellow Latino,

00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:51.500
but Dalton Smith, like, man, prayers up, dude.

00:28:51.579 --> 00:28:56.299
I hope you keep doing it. Just keep letting them

00:28:56.299 --> 00:28:59.619
put people you're not supposed to beat in front

00:28:59.619 --> 00:29:04.049
of you and just keep fucking beating them. That

00:29:04.049 --> 00:29:07.690
would just be great for me. Yeah, honestly, this

00:29:07.690 --> 00:29:12.130
might be the first couple times that I'm actually

00:29:12.130 --> 00:29:15.309
rooting for a Brit. This is a Brit story I can

00:29:15.309 --> 00:29:22.230
get behind. Oh, yeah. Moving to another WBC fight.

00:29:24.970 --> 00:29:28.950
WBC has sanctioned Lamont Roach versus William

00:29:28.950 --> 00:29:33.819
Zepeda for their vacant title. fucking lamont

00:29:33.819 --> 00:29:37.000
roach williams zapata were not like the one and

00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:41.500
two but they petitioned yeah they petitioned

00:29:41.500 --> 00:29:43.740
like we're making we're gonna make this fight

00:29:43.740 --> 00:29:47.200
will you accept this as your vacant title fight

00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:51.779
and what do you know lamont roach williams zapata

00:29:51.779 --> 00:29:55.880
is it shrimp time or is it roach time is it ocean

00:29:55.880 --> 00:30:00.180
roach or ground roach I think we're going to

00:30:00.180 --> 00:30:03.720
see a third consecutive draw where I once again

00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:06.160
go on a little diatribe about scoring after it's

00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:09.539
done. And then we call for the death of judges

00:30:09.539 --> 00:30:12.880
that we're going to see like one consistent judge

00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:16.700
in all three of Roach's fucking draws. Let me

00:30:16.700 --> 00:30:18.900
see. Let me see. Let me see. Yeah, please do.

00:30:19.019 --> 00:30:22.200
Please do. So far. No, there hasn't been a consistent

00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:25.640
judge. Oh, shit. Not yet. Well, I guess I can't

00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:29.029
send death threats to anyone. Never mind. Well,

00:30:29.029 --> 00:30:31.809
you can, but... Yes, I can, but... You always

00:30:31.809 --> 00:30:36.750
can. Don't let your memes be dreams. Literally.

00:30:38.630 --> 00:30:44.690
I got a question for y 'all. My thing is, didn't

00:30:44.690 --> 00:30:48.349
they... This is all caused by the WBC shenanigans

00:30:48.349 --> 00:30:52.410
with Stephen Fulton, right? With Shakur. It's

00:30:52.410 --> 00:30:55.089
Shakur. Well, Stephen Fulton... Fight being that

00:30:55.089 --> 00:30:58.130
they gave the interim to Oshaki Foster. It wouldn't

00:30:58.130 --> 00:31:02.029
have happened if Fulton wasn't a fatty, though.

00:31:02.190 --> 00:31:05.230
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So, I mean, I don't

00:31:05.230 --> 00:31:06.769
know. Honestly, that's going to be a good fight.

00:31:07.250 --> 00:31:10.210
But I don't think either guy deserved it. I feel

00:31:10.210 --> 00:31:12.250
like, at the very least, William Cepeda should

00:31:12.250 --> 00:31:15.910
have at least had a comeback fight to earn the

00:31:15.910 --> 00:31:18.329
vacant title match. Lamont Roach fought at 140.

00:31:18.509 --> 00:31:23.470
He has not fought for the WBC. At all. He fought

00:31:23.470 --> 00:31:29.230
for the interim 140 with Pitbull. Oh, I thought

00:31:29.230 --> 00:31:32.890
that was WBA. No, WBC. No. Oh, never mind. I'm

00:31:32.890 --> 00:31:38.349
silly. I'm sorry. My bad. My bad. Yeah, WBA strip

00:31:38.349 --> 00:31:42.630
tank. That is very awkward. Sorry about that.

00:31:43.549 --> 00:31:46.609
That makes more sense now. But what I will say

00:31:46.609 --> 00:31:48.730
is it's going to be a good fight that Lamont

00:31:48.730 --> 00:31:51.950
Roche should win. That's where I'm landing as

00:31:51.950 --> 00:31:57.309
well. The ground roach should be the water roach.

00:31:58.309 --> 00:32:01.650
Ground roach? The pit is just a weaker pit bull.

00:32:01.730 --> 00:32:05.049
Shrimp. Camaron. It's a little ocean bug. Oh,

00:32:05.049 --> 00:32:08.410
man. The thing is, though, I just think roach

00:32:08.410 --> 00:32:11.170
has a very judge -unfriendly style. I brought

00:32:11.170 --> 00:32:16.230
this up before. You have. Like, he just... He

00:32:16.230 --> 00:32:19.319
has to be so... I don't think he has it in him

00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:23.779
to be dominant either. I mean, in his last two

00:32:23.779 --> 00:32:26.460
fights... I think he can. Like, he wins fights.

00:32:26.619 --> 00:32:29.319
He could win fights clearly. It's just that,

00:32:29.380 --> 00:32:32.599
like, being that dominant and assertive in order

00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:35.539
to, like, very clearly win rounds instead of

00:32:35.539 --> 00:32:39.140
stealing them every time is not... It's not his

00:32:39.140 --> 00:32:43.700
MO. It takes two rounds to... Two or three rounds

00:32:43.700 --> 00:32:46.579
to even... Figure out the opponent. He just kind

00:32:46.579 --> 00:32:50.259
of gives away the first couple rounds. Just the

00:32:50.259 --> 00:32:54.720
way he looks. You can just feel like. He's edging

00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:59.720
the rounds. Instead of. I think where this. This

00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:03.960
makes sense. In the Pitbull fight. But where

00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:08.319
I think it doesn't. Is against Tank. Where I

00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:12.500
think Roach. Absolutely did enough. To clearly

00:33:12.500 --> 00:33:17.240
win rounds. but it's Gervonta Davis. You're not

00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:20.839
gonna... Yeah, like, I need him steamrolling

00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:24.880
guys instead of just, you know, outboxing them.

00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:30.599
Clearly to us, with a great view of it, but not

00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:32.960
so clearly to... Yeah, to the judges who are

00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:37.200
sitting in one spot. Especially if he's a catch

00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:38.799
-and -shoot guy. I've always brought up he's

00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:42.200
a catch -and -shoot guy. So, if you're watching

00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:44.579
this back... If you're watching his back, it

00:33:44.579 --> 00:33:47.900
looks like he's getting clubbed. And even if

00:33:47.900 --> 00:33:50.460
you have it from the proper angle, he's still

00:33:50.460 --> 00:33:54.640
taking one to throw one. So how much do you gauge?

00:33:54.900 --> 00:33:59.779
How do you judge your value judgment? A punch

00:33:59.779 --> 00:34:04.619
that appears to maybe have glanced past the guard,

00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:09.099
but... there's one thrown back. Like, yeah, how

00:34:09.099 --> 00:34:11.719
do you... Especially if Roach misses that shot.

00:34:11.980 --> 00:34:13.639
Right, right, right. How do you judge the defense

00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:17.300
versus an ineffective... Like, technically, Roach

00:34:17.300 --> 00:34:19.920
is the one being ineffective here. He got hit

00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:22.880
glancingly, barely, but then he missed. He missed

00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:27.480
the follow -up. So, from our view, yeah, he's

00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:31.579
a more complete boxer here. He's definitely getting

00:34:31.579 --> 00:34:39.440
it on the guy, but... So... Like, so what, almost.

00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:51.159
Yeah. Hmm. Well, keeping things at 135, this

00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:57.920
is... Ring Magazine has sanctioned Caroline Dubois

00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:03.960
vs. Terry Harper for the vacant 135 ring title.

00:35:04.300 --> 00:35:10.690
This is less about the... the fighters. It's

00:35:10.690 --> 00:35:17.070
more about is the ring title a fucking title?

00:35:18.449 --> 00:35:23.869
Are we in a fucking five belt era? Have we always

00:35:23.869 --> 00:35:28.269
had that plus one? That plus one that just sits

00:35:28.269 --> 00:35:30.869
in the background? What the fuck, man? Is ring

00:35:30.869 --> 00:35:34.550
magazine, is that a fucking title or is it not?

00:35:43.730 --> 00:35:45.949
You want to hear all that chatter? Then you're

00:35:45.949 --> 00:35:48.550
going to have to fucking pony up some dough for

00:35:48.550 --> 00:35:52.349
it. Because that was a good conversation. Oh,

00:35:52.349 --> 00:35:55.329
yeah. Last bit. Tyson Fury versus Arsalanbek

00:35:55.329 --> 00:35:57.590
Makhmudov. Oh, we're still in the news. Damn.

00:35:57.829 --> 00:36:01.309
Yeah, we are. The undercard has been announced.

00:36:02.030 --> 00:36:05.960
Co -main. Conor Benn versus Regis Progray. The

00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:11.300
$15 million boy fights at 150 catchweight against

00:36:11.300 --> 00:36:15.800
what the fuck Regis Progray. I hope you're getting

00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:21.380
paid, buddy. I'm rooting for Regis. I am too.

00:36:21.500 --> 00:36:24.300
One last time. I want this to backfire. It'd

00:36:24.300 --> 00:36:31.719
be so funny. It'd be too funny, man. Jamie Chikeva

00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:35.530
versus Richard Riekpore. the British heavyweight

00:36:35.530 --> 00:36:39.030
title on the line. Frazier Clark versus Justice

00:36:39.030 --> 00:36:42.710
Hooney, a heavyweight fight. We'll see if Frazier

00:36:42.710 --> 00:36:46.250
Clark can replicate the Fabio Wardley success.

00:36:48.489 --> 00:36:53.170
Troy Williamson versus Simon Zakenhuber. Brayon

00:36:53.170 --> 00:36:57.130
Gorham versus Eduard Georgiev. Mikey Talon versus

00:36:57.130 --> 00:37:00.909
Christopher Rios. Felix Cash versus Liam O 'Hare.

00:37:01.500 --> 00:37:06.000
Hector Lozano versus Sultan Al -Muhammad. Fucking

00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:09.719
Saudi guy. And Elliott Whale versus Tom Hill.

00:37:11.099 --> 00:37:18.860
Pretty lackluster undercard. Conor Benn included.

00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:26.920
Lackluster. What Shanada and I had talked about

00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:32.710
was none of these guys. bringing value to this

00:37:32.710 --> 00:37:35.269
event. Anybody who is tuning in to see Tyson

00:37:35.269 --> 00:37:39.510
Fury would tune in to watch any of these guys

00:37:39.510 --> 00:37:44.369
on their own events. This doesn't really add

00:37:44.369 --> 00:37:54.469
anything. There you have it. Anything more for

00:37:54.469 --> 00:38:00.909
the news? Alright. Let's see here. Kevin Lorena.

00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:04.940
Bridger Waite, if you remember. Lorena, that's

00:38:04.940 --> 00:38:09.980
a name I haven't heard in a while. Closer to

00:38:09.980 --> 00:38:12.420
beating Daniel Dubois than Anthony Joshua, Kevin

00:38:12.420 --> 00:38:21.199
Lorena. It's true. It is. Dubois like Taurus

00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:25.599
ACL in that fight. One -legged Dubois. Yeah.

00:38:26.440 --> 00:38:30.260
All right. Social media stuff. LVX Media Net.

00:38:30.539 --> 00:38:33.820
All one word. Follow us fucking wherever it is

media shit. Give us a follow. Fucking hit. What's

00:38:41.059 --> 00:38:42.760
the phrase that they're using these days? Hit

00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:47.599
all the buttons, I think is what the kids are

00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:51.820
saying. Wherever you are listening, if you could

00:38:51.820 --> 00:38:54.960
hit us with a rating, it would be really helpful.

00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:58.260
It moves us up the accursed search algorithm.

00:38:59.179 --> 00:39:04.500
If you're not feeling a five -star rating, 833

00:39:04.500 --> 00:39:09.139
-589 -7637, you can fucking text me, dude. Tell

00:39:09.139 --> 00:39:12.559

00:39:19.019 --> 00:39:24.400

you will get all of that fun stuff. What if your

00:39:41.059 --> 00:39:43.840
best thinking day wasn't a lucky accident? What

00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:46.119
if you could access that clarity, that sharp

00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:49.159
focus, that feeling of being completely on whenever

00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:51.940
you need it? We live in a world of distraction,

00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:55.400
where mental fog can settle in before noon. You

00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:57.969
need a natural edge. A simple way to clear the

00:39:57.969 --> 00:40:00.710

have been revered for the unique compounds that

00:40:08.949 --> 00:40:12.929

of caffeine or a rush of sugar. You're nurturing

00:40:23.309 --> 00:40:26.090

All right. Into the recaps. Thursday, March 5th.

00:41:07.949 --> 00:41:13.929
Eye of the Tiger on DAZN. Man, I only kept the

00:41:13.929 --> 00:41:17.570
good stuff. And there was actually quite a bit

00:41:17.570 --> 00:41:19.900
of it. For an Eye of the Tiger card, not bad.

00:41:19.900 --> 00:41:21.980
That's true. This actually wasn't that bad. Not

00:41:21.980 --> 00:41:25.559
bad. Steve Claggett gets a big stoppage over

00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:32.219
Alejandro Frias. Homeboy came in. Steve Claggett

00:41:32.219 --> 00:41:36.760
was TBA less than five days before the event.

00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:42.000
So take it with a grain of salt. John Orobio

00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:49.860
KO5 over Yomar Alamo. That was fun. uh arobio

00:41:49.860 --> 00:41:53.539
is supposed to be like a good prospect um i i

00:41:53.539 --> 00:41:56.659
know i've seen him fight a few times but like

00:41:56.659 --> 00:41:59.420
you're crushing cans on eye of the tiger dude

00:41:59.420 --> 00:42:03.199
um we're gonna have to we're gonna have to step

00:42:03.199 --> 00:42:10.340
up the competition here um leonard perez ud over

00:42:10.340 --> 00:42:15.340
isaac chalemba robbery i don't watch it robbery

00:42:15.340 --> 00:42:22.099
this is an instant instance where i i was uh

00:42:22.099 --> 00:42:25.599
like i was talking to you guys before about getting

00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:28.519
more active on social media like with scoring

00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:33.199
being involved on fight nights this was a case

00:42:33.199 --> 00:42:37.579
where i was having good engagement where it was

00:42:37.579 --> 00:42:39.699
like leonard perez is supposed to be a super

00:42:39.699 --> 00:42:43.099
awesome cruiserweight prospect or whatever how

00:42:43.099 --> 00:42:45.860
the fuck are you not finishing isaac chalemba

00:42:45.860 --> 00:42:52.880
in 2026 Maybe we need to... Maybe we need to

00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:57.219
rethink some things. He's gotta go to Zusa. I

00:42:57.219 --> 00:42:59.300
don't know, maybe... Chilumba had the shield

00:42:59.300 --> 00:43:05.880
over his face. The liquid shield? The liquid

00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:07.960
shield? I don't know, it's hard to knock a guy

00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:09.860
out when your punches are slipping off his face.

00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:20.099
To be... To be fair, Perez... Was dominant throughout

00:43:20.099 --> 00:43:25.800
the entire fight. Chalemba. As they say in Discord.

00:43:25.940 --> 00:43:31.820
He has. Experienced being washed. So he has those.

00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:35.139
Like those survival tactics. The dirty veteran.

00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:40.719
Avoid. Confrontation kind of tactics. So yeah.

00:43:42.940 --> 00:43:48.840
That's being fair. To Perez. But. I don't feel

00:43:48.840 --> 00:43:51.099
like being fair to Perez. He should have done

00:43:51.099 --> 00:43:54.039
better. Yeah, should have. How dare you do that

00:43:54.039 --> 00:43:59.260
to my goat, Chalemba? Think about this. A particular

00:43:59.260 --> 00:44:01.960
cruiserweight gentleman that we will be discussing

00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:07.000
in a moment had a similar situation play out.

00:44:07.059 --> 00:44:09.760
Oh, you're right, actually. So maybe we need

00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:12.820
to dial it back on the Perez hate. I need to

00:44:12.820 --> 00:44:15.519
dial it back. You need to dial it back. I do.

00:44:15.659 --> 00:44:19.289
I'm hating for a different reason. Yeah, Goop

00:44:19.289 --> 00:44:23.829
Face made it work. Congrats. Whatever gets you

00:44:23.829 --> 00:44:30.170
paid, buddy. And minimal damage, too. In the

00:44:30.170 --> 00:44:33.889
main event, Stephen Butler knocks out Ramadan

00:44:33.889 --> 00:44:40.429
Hiseni in two. That's all she wrote for Eye of

00:44:40.429 --> 00:44:47.800
the Tiger. I had said when... We were previewing

00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:51.920
this weekend that there was not a lot of boxing

00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:57.099
on. And I stand by that. There was some lower

00:44:57.099 --> 00:45:03.760
level shit. Which, of course, I didn't update

00:45:03.760 --> 00:45:07.659
my doc. Because I'm professional. I'm really

00:45:07.659 --> 00:45:10.539
good at this. Did you know that I got a magazine

00:45:10.539 --> 00:45:15.860
interview about how professional I am? That's

00:45:15.860 --> 00:45:18.900
because you're awesome, dude. Yeah, I'm fucking

00:45:18.900 --> 00:45:25.239
excellent. Let's see here. Angel Ureña got a

00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:29.860
UD over Roy Casanova. That one was actually pretty

00:45:29.860 --> 00:45:38.880
goddamn fun. It was like a crossfade. In the

00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:45.000
first six, Ureña was like... the guy, and then

00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:49.940
it faded the last six. It was a 10 -round fight.

00:45:50.059 --> 00:45:53.800
The one round was a crossfade, and Casanova kind

00:45:53.800 --> 00:45:56.340
of stepped it up. It was pretty cool. Good fight.

00:45:57.340 --> 00:46:04.719
And Haciel Amador, UD over Pedro Delgado. I think

00:46:04.719 --> 00:46:10.199
that was a regional title. Both of those were

00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:14.559
regional titles, actually. Moving on. Box Stars

00:46:14.559 --> 00:46:22.239
on ESPN KO in Netzahualcoyotl. Look at that.

00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:27.699
I'm good at that shit. In Mexico, Mauricio Lara

00:46:27.699 --> 00:46:33.559
stops Rafael Rosas in two. Shit was not even

00:46:33.559 --> 00:46:38.340
competitive. But it was bronco, so I was here

00:46:38.340 --> 00:46:47.659
for it. MF Pro on DAZN. This was in Derby, UK.

00:46:48.219 --> 00:46:52.239
Ty Mitchell. I don't know who this fucking guy

00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:55.679
is. He's apparently some social media person.

00:46:56.199 --> 00:47:01.199
He beat Gabe Rosado in a six -round contest.

00:47:02.679 --> 00:47:06.039
Gabe fucking Rosado, guys. Gabe. Rosado. This

00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:11.039
was his Misfits debut. It's a separate tab on

00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:14.500
BoxRec. It's a separate tab. Misfits Pro, which

00:47:14.500 --> 00:47:22.099
is hilarious. Fucking nuts, huh? Yeah. I genuinely

00:47:22.099 --> 00:47:26.699
think this might be conspiracy tinfoil shit,

00:47:26.820 --> 00:47:32.079
but I think Gabe is being brought in to be beaten

00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:37.820
by these guys. He's like Benito Sanchez. Oh,

00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:40.440
my God. You're right. The fear of a real pro

00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:43.179
fighter, except it's Gabe Rosado. Right. He'll

00:47:43.179 --> 00:47:47.679
give you some good work, but you're going to

00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:50.420
beat him. All you got to do is just stay confident,

00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:54.320
and he will make sure that you stay confident,

00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:58.579
because that was a fucking ass fight. I am a

00:47:58.579 --> 00:48:01.539
bit ashamed of myself that I watched all six

00:48:01.539 --> 00:48:06.800
rounds. You watched it? I did. I did. I wanted

00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:09.900
to make sure, like, what is Gabe doing here?

00:48:10.039 --> 00:48:12.559
Like, why are you here? Are you here to fucking

00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:15.840
knock out these social media kids? Because I'm

00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:19.320
down for that. You live by the motherfucking

00:48:19.320 --> 00:48:21.019
sword, you die by the motherfucking sword. Yeah,

00:48:21.019 --> 00:48:23.679
straight up. That is exactly what is happening.

00:48:24.699 --> 00:48:29.119
But enough of that. Sunday, March 8th. Happy

00:48:29.119 --> 00:48:34.619
birthday to my sister. Zufa Boxing 4 at the Meta

00:48:34.619 --> 00:48:41.960
Apex. There were, moving up from the bottom,

00:48:42.340 --> 00:48:47.159
what stood out? The first ever majority draw

00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:52.059
on Zufa, Brady Ochoa. How's your name, Ochoa,

00:48:52.179 --> 00:48:57.639
but your first name is Brady? Interesting. Pick

00:48:57.639 --> 00:49:02.119
a lane, dude. Anyway, Adrian Serrano. And then

00:49:02.119 --> 00:49:04.960
there was another majority draw. Jacob Ramos

00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:10.659
versus Ethan Perez. Vlad Panin stops Shannard

00:49:10.659 --> 00:49:17.260
Bunch in nine. It was... I honestly felt like

00:49:17.260 --> 00:49:22.780
they were making excuses for Shannard the whole

00:49:22.780 --> 00:49:25.940
time. They were... Man, this... I'm not trying

00:49:25.940 --> 00:49:30.679
to knock the guy. I honestly can't imagine. The

00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:33.059
difficulties that he had to endure. Like they

00:49:33.059 --> 00:49:34.960
were talking about. Like his father was murdered.

00:49:35.420 --> 00:49:45.059
And stuff. Like bro. If you. It's clear that

00:49:45.059 --> 00:49:51.260
you need more time. And that's okay. You didn't.

00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:58.380
Yeah. Just. Go deal with that shit, dude. That's

00:49:58.380 --> 00:50:04.760
more important. Moving up, the co -main Ricardo

00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:09.179
Salas stops Jesus Saracho in eight. This one

00:50:09.179 --> 00:50:19.579
was actually pretty fun. Hmm. Josh, are you prepared?

00:50:19.739 --> 00:50:26.539
Do you have... your finest glass of aged haterade

00:50:26.539 --> 00:50:30.559
ready oh my god i've had it i have had it because

00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:33.699
i've been waiting for saul to get on jai opataya

00:50:33.699 --> 00:50:38.300
sorry about that guys ud over brandon glanton

00:50:38.300 --> 00:50:43.739
ibf cruiserweight title was not on the line the

00:50:43.739 --> 00:50:48.400
zufa cruiser cruiserweight title was on the line

00:50:48.400 --> 00:50:53.449
here Josh, kick it off. Dunk on Opitaya as best

00:50:53.449 --> 00:50:57.690
you can. Oh my god, he's retarded. In the ring,

00:50:57.789 --> 00:51:02.929
out of it? Oh my god. The shit with the IVF.

00:51:03.050 --> 00:51:06.750
The IVF was so clear when Zufa showed up. Hey,

00:51:06.829 --> 00:51:10.750
if you try and put that piece of shit belt next

00:51:10.750 --> 00:51:14.670
to ours, we're gonna strip you. Not necessarily.

00:51:14.690 --> 00:51:17.610
It was if you tried to make that piece of shit

00:51:17.610 --> 00:51:21.219
more important. than ours yes then it was so

00:51:21.219 --> 00:51:24.739
clear and then all the promotion and then like

00:51:24.739 --> 00:51:28.659
jai not getting it we're like dude if you're

00:51:28.659 --> 00:51:33.320
you're calling the zufa one like your whole promotion's

00:51:33.320 --> 00:51:35.960
calling the zufa one the belt the belt the belt

00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:39.659
oh yeah the ibf is here too like come on oh yeah

00:51:39.659 --> 00:51:42.679
that red fucking thing over there oh yeah like

00:51:42.679 --> 00:51:46.099
like yeah no they're gonna strip you you're fighting

00:51:46.099 --> 00:51:48.989
a bum They're going to strip you. It's the IDF.

00:51:49.409 --> 00:51:53.030
They don't fuck around. They do not. Like, oh,

00:51:53.090 --> 00:51:55.809
Glanton was in the top 10. Like, so what? This

00:51:55.809 --> 00:51:59.590
isn't the WBC. This isn't the WBC. They're going

00:51:59.590 --> 00:52:03.329
to strip you. And then you get in the ring and

00:52:03.329 --> 00:52:05.949
just, oh, my God. You don't get them out of there.

00:52:06.570 --> 00:52:09.909
You spend the whole time flopping on your ass.

00:52:10.719 --> 00:52:15.480
It was just like you wasted the fans' time, you

00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:19.519
wasted your own time, and now you're going to

00:52:19.519 --> 00:52:22.320
continue begging for fights with belt holders

00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:25.519
when you're with the promotional company that

00:52:25.519 --> 00:52:29.699
explicitly doesn't deal with the belt orgs. You

00:52:29.699 --> 00:52:32.880
lost all your leverage. As a mission statement.

00:52:33.360 --> 00:52:36.460
Yeah, he gave up his leverage signing with them.

00:52:37.799 --> 00:52:40.260
And, like, the big thing is, like, he got asked

00:52:40.260 --> 00:52:42.519
about moving up to heavyweight. And, you know,

00:52:42.599 --> 00:52:45.360
historically, cruiserweights, if they are good

00:52:45.360 --> 00:52:49.659
enough to go to heavyweight, they do. They kept

00:52:49.659 --> 00:52:53.099
saying Usyk, Holyfield, trying to make him be

00:52:53.099 --> 00:52:56.059
a part of that conversation. Like, he is, like,

00:52:56.139 --> 00:52:58.599
the third in the trio. Like, fuck no. Yeah, but,

00:52:58.699 --> 00:53:02.559
like, even if they are not the best at the cruiserweight

00:53:02.559 --> 00:53:06.230
division, they move up. So what does it say that

00:53:06.230 --> 00:53:09.289
this guy doesn't feel great moving up? I want

00:53:09.289 --> 00:53:12.429
to be undisputed. Yeah, like, his big thing is

00:53:12.429 --> 00:53:14.369
having a size advantage at cruiserweight, and

00:53:14.369 --> 00:53:17.110
if he goes to heavyweight, it vanishes. And he's

00:53:17.110 --> 00:53:19.969
not good enough to be able to compete at heavyweight.

00:53:19.969 --> 00:53:23.070
No, like, he's not skilled enough. I mean, two

00:53:23.070 --> 00:53:28.940
of his, like, slips were footwork mistakes. glanton

00:53:28.940 --> 00:53:31.340
did like sure whatever glanton hit him in the

00:53:31.340 --> 00:53:34.199
nuts a couple times two of the slips were footwork

00:53:34.199 --> 00:53:38.760
mistakes can i so i want to posit something he's

00:53:38.760 --> 00:53:41.760
shorter than he's dave allen's height is he for

00:53:41.760 --> 00:53:44.199
the record of his size he is dave allen's height

00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:50.920
and about half the weight so jesus christ like

00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:52.940
he's not cutting it heavyweight if he's tripping

00:53:52.940 --> 00:53:56.159
over his own feet pivoting away from brandon

00:53:56.159 --> 00:54:07.670
glanton What if Chaya Pattaya, for whatever reason,

00:54:07.929 --> 00:54:13.369
just decides he's going to move up? It's really

00:54:13.369 --> 00:54:16.150
clear, as you pointed out, he is the same size

00:54:16.150 --> 00:54:21.750
as Dave Allen. And if he were to move up that

00:54:21.750 --> 00:54:26.690
high, he would just be fat as fuck. What if he

00:54:26.690 --> 00:54:30.590
made... Zufa recognized the Bridgerweight division.

00:54:31.429 --> 00:54:35.110
Oh my god. I'm crying. I'm crying, dude. That

00:54:35.110 --> 00:54:41.590
is crazy. I would send Jai Obataya flowers. Like,

00:54:41.590 --> 00:54:44.650
thank you for continuing to fuck up that organization.

00:54:44.989 --> 00:54:47.269
He's gotta be doing this on purpose. Yeah, you

00:54:47.269 --> 00:54:49.650
have to be. He's wasting the rest of his career

00:54:49.650 --> 00:54:55.000
tanking Zufa. He's the sacrificial lamb. I would

00:54:55.000 --> 00:54:58.300
set up a Patreon to donate money to him to make

00:54:58.300 --> 00:55:02.079
up for his lost wages. Because the big thing

00:55:02.079 --> 00:55:05.320
I've seen people, the remote people on Twitter

00:55:05.320 --> 00:55:08.679
defending Jai is like, oh, he's making the money

00:55:08.679 --> 00:55:11.059
he can because Cruiserweight's a poverty division.

00:55:11.260 --> 00:55:15.320
And I'm like, that's why you move up. You move

00:55:15.320 --> 00:55:17.539
up if you're good to make the real money. That's

00:55:17.539 --> 00:55:19.019
just Cruiserweight. Zerdo Benavidez are getting

00:55:19.019 --> 00:55:22.360
paid. Yeah, too. You fight guys that are worth

00:55:22.360 --> 00:55:24.940
it or you move up and get paid. Yeah. And then

00:55:24.940 --> 00:55:27.039
there's the, oh, he has the heart to hang in

00:55:27.039 --> 00:55:30.800
there with anyone. Like, Maris Bredis broke his

00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:33.659
jaw twice. They made it very fucking clear. At

00:55:33.659 --> 00:55:36.880
the tender age of, hold on, how old is this?

00:55:37.780 --> 00:55:45.059
At the tender age of 38 and 39. How old was Zopatai

00:55:45.059 --> 00:55:50.219
at the time? Like, 26. I feel bad for him. That's

00:55:50.219 --> 00:55:52.980
what I mean. Because it's like, I saw it, like,

00:55:52.980 --> 00:55:55.050
again. Like, a lot of the discourse is, we give

00:55:55.050 --> 00:55:57.409
Usyk credit for his victory over Bredis, and

00:55:57.409 --> 00:55:59.869
I'm like, that was Bredis at, like, that was

00:55:59.869 --> 00:56:02.469
Bredis 10 years ago. That was 10 years before.

00:56:02.690 --> 00:56:08.210
Are you fucking high? He was 31, and Usyk not

00:56:08.210 --> 00:56:11.010
only beat him, he beat Gassiev, he beat Huck,

00:56:11.010 --> 00:56:13.610
he beat Michael Hunter, and then moved up and

00:56:13.610 --> 00:56:15.829
became the best heavyweight of, like, basically

00:56:15.829 --> 00:56:18.710
two generations. He capped it off with Tony fucking

00:56:18.710 --> 00:56:21.090
Bell. He became the generation. He became the

00:56:21.090 --> 00:56:24.920
generation at heavyweight. Yeah. So what are,

00:56:24.980 --> 00:56:27.920
like, so then why are we getting, like, yeah,

00:56:28.000 --> 00:56:32.659
then 10 years on, this prime specimen should

00:56:32.659 --> 00:56:38.019
roll him, right? Max Kellerman's creaming his

00:56:38.019 --> 00:56:42.579
pants at a guy who can't get Morris Bredis, age

00:56:42.579 --> 00:56:48.119
30, age 41, out of here. He was creaming his

00:56:48.119 --> 00:56:50.320
pants that he went the distance, that he got

00:56:50.320 --> 00:56:54.300
his jaw broken and went the distance. I can't

00:56:54.300 --> 00:56:56.239
imagine getting punched in the mouth when your

00:56:56.239 --> 00:56:58.300
jaw's already broken. But, like, bro, you're

00:56:58.300 --> 00:57:00.320
getting your jaw broken by a 40 -year -old man.

00:57:00.539 --> 00:57:02.679
And you're supposed to be the best cruiserweight

00:57:02.679 --> 00:57:09.940
on the planet. I'm a little confused. Myrus Bredis.

00:57:11.699 --> 00:57:16.889
We went through it in Discord. After Usyk. Usyk

00:57:16.889 --> 00:57:20.909
Belyu. That was his last fight at Cruiser. And

00:57:20.909 --> 00:57:24.929
after that, like, we were tracing the path of

00:57:24.929 --> 00:57:30.050
all the titles, and it was Bredis Dortikos was

00:57:30.050 --> 00:57:33.829
the reestablishment of the quote -unquote lineage.

00:57:34.690 --> 00:57:39.710
Yeah. So, yeah. That fight was not great. No.

00:57:39.769 --> 00:57:42.090
Having watched it, having watched it live, that

00:57:42.090 --> 00:57:49.780
fight was not great. It was... What? I don't

00:57:49.780 --> 00:57:56.039
know. I'm torn on Obataya. Like 90 % of me really

00:57:56.039 --> 00:57:58.260
wants to just fucking dunk on him every chance

00:57:58.260 --> 00:58:03.619
I get. But another part of me thinks he's a dumb

00:58:03.619 --> 00:58:08.699
fuck Islander kid that just came up in Australia.

00:58:10.219 --> 00:58:12.619
So he's kind of getting pulled in a lot of different

00:58:12.619 --> 00:58:15.079
directions and kind of being taken advantage

00:58:15.079 --> 00:58:19.440
of is what I think is happening. Yeah, but part

00:58:19.440 --> 00:58:23.059
of it is you have to read. Right. You have to

00:58:23.059 --> 00:58:27.059
read. There's a difference between you being

00:58:27.059 --> 00:58:31.480
shuffled around in the back, but we can see it,

00:58:31.539 --> 00:58:34.780
which means he should obviously be able to see

00:58:34.780 --> 00:58:39.269
it and read. All he had to do was say, I'm the

00:58:39.269 --> 00:58:43.309
IBF champ. And not, I'm fighting for the prestigious

00:58:43.309 --> 00:58:48.050
Zufa belt. The inaugural Zufa belt. So much lineage

00:58:48.050 --> 00:58:50.349
there, right? Because you're the lineal champion.

00:58:52.989 --> 00:58:58.690
You have to read. You have to read. You have

00:58:58.690 --> 00:59:05.710
to know. Get a lawyer, bro. You got money. I

00:59:05.710 --> 00:59:08.289
hate the sob stories on Twitter of like, oh,

00:59:08.369 --> 00:59:10.750
he's just maximizing his value. You can go to

00:59:10.750 --> 00:59:16.309
heavyweight and do that. You can go to heavyweight

00:59:16.309 --> 00:59:18.909
and do Lawrence or Coley circuit. The thing is

00:59:18.909 --> 00:59:22.550
that it's not like he's boxing AIDS or Coley.

00:59:23.570 --> 00:59:26.789
People would show up to watch him beat up on

00:59:26.789 --> 00:59:29.889
guys at heavyweight. Did you say boxing AIDS?

00:59:31.720 --> 00:59:35.980
Yes. Like a Lawrence Acoli. I got to support

00:59:35.980 --> 00:59:41.500
that term. No one wants Acoli. Like Opetiah,

00:59:41.579 --> 00:59:44.579
you get the exciting knockout artist who's moving

00:59:44.579 --> 00:59:47.679
up the heavyweight. Alleged knockout artist.

00:59:48.059 --> 00:59:51.940
He can make good money. If he stayed out of Zufa.

00:59:51.940 --> 00:59:55.039
Go to the UK and take out a couple of the domestic

00:59:55.039 --> 01:00:01.469
Brits and you have a hype train. He had a title.

01:00:01.809 --> 01:00:03.909
And if you want to dispute it, he probably could

01:00:03.909 --> 01:00:05.449
have gotten money from fighting Zerto or from

01:00:05.449 --> 01:00:08.769
fighting Benavides. Eventually. He could have

01:00:08.769 --> 01:00:13.769
gotten money fighting Mikaelian. I'm not even

01:00:13.769 --> 01:00:17.030
saying Zerto. Zerto, let's say, okay, Zerto promotional.

01:00:18.010 --> 01:00:22.769
He's not a powerhouse. No. But, like, whatever.

01:00:23.110 --> 01:00:26.670
Better than Glenn. Let's say. Let's say we're

01:00:26.670 --> 01:00:29.250
having issues getting a fight with Zerto. Like,

01:00:29.309 --> 01:00:35.630
come on. You can get fights that aren't complete

01:00:35.630 --> 01:00:41.110
dog shit. I would like to take a moment to just

01:00:41.110 --> 01:00:46.329
give a little high five to Brandon Glanton. Like,

01:00:46.329 --> 01:00:50.230
you went the distance with this, uh, the alleged...

01:00:50.800 --> 01:00:53.519
Number one cruiserweight fucking of all time

01:00:53.519 --> 01:00:57.039
ever. All time great cruiserweight. Fucking greatest

01:00:57.039 --> 01:01:00.199
of all cruiserweight times. You went the distance

01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:02.880
with him. Yeah, the boogeyman, blah, blah, blah.

01:01:04.619 --> 01:01:08.079
You went the distance. I hope you're not locked

01:01:08.079 --> 01:01:14.260
in to Zufa because I honestly think he could

01:01:14.260 --> 01:01:20.380
pivot this into some decent work. with the other

01:01:20.380 --> 01:01:23.940
cruiserweight people. Like, Mikaelian, like,

01:01:24.000 --> 01:01:27.179
fuck Mikaelian, but, like, you could... Shit,

01:01:27.360 --> 01:01:29.500
dude, you might be able to snag that title off

01:01:29.500 --> 01:01:33.940
him. And then Zerto Benavides. Glanton is ranked

01:01:33.940 --> 01:01:39.340
in the IBF. And there's no number one or two

01:01:39.340 --> 01:01:42.119
contender. It's Chris Billum -Smith and Glanton.

01:01:42.460 --> 01:01:47.400
Ah, son of a bitch. Gosh, darn it. Chris Billum

01:01:47.400 --> 01:01:52.440
-Smith. He continues to stick around. It could

01:01:52.440 --> 01:01:55.400
be worse. It could be the WBC. You've got Mikaelian,

01:01:55.420 --> 01:01:59.780
Sislak, and then Roziki at your mandatory spot

01:01:59.780 --> 01:02:02.659
there. I would rather be IBF. I'll take the IBF

01:02:02.659 --> 01:02:05.239
over that. You could be Jowptown with a fucking

01:02:05.239 --> 01:02:09.239
shrink of Zufa. WBA got no one. Getting rid of

01:02:09.239 --> 01:02:11.880
fucking your IBF like an idiot. It's just...

01:02:11.880 --> 01:02:19.449
Oh my god, guys. Like, we might genuinely see

01:02:19.449 --> 01:02:23.349
for the IBF, like, Vidal Riley and Masternack

01:02:23.349 --> 01:02:27.929
be elevated to something. Where's Gula Mirian

01:02:27.929 --> 01:02:32.210
in WBA right now? Gula Mirian in the WBA? Let

01:02:32.210 --> 01:02:37.809
me take a peek. Is the guy that's in WBO? Yeah,

01:02:38.010 --> 01:02:43.039
absent. No, okay. Well, look at that. Maybe he

01:02:43.039 --> 01:02:46.559
just fucked off after losing to Zero. In absentia.

01:02:48.260 --> 01:02:52.480
Right on. Again, cruiserweight is horse shit,

01:02:52.519 --> 01:02:55.780
and if you are fucking up title reigns at cruiserweight,

01:02:55.860 --> 01:03:02.639
like, there's no hope. That's just how it is.

01:03:03.599 --> 01:03:08.320
To reference the two cruiserweights that they

01:03:08.320 --> 01:03:12.019
want Opitai to be in the conversation with, Evander

01:03:12.019 --> 01:03:16.599
Holyfield dominated, maybe not necessarily undisputed,

01:03:16.599 --> 01:03:21.360
but dominated, moved up the heavyweight. Oleksandr

01:03:21.360 --> 01:03:26.199
Usyk, undisputed. He beat everyone. Anyone who

01:03:26.199 --> 01:03:28.960
was anyone, he beat them. And then he fucked

01:03:28.960 --> 01:03:31.679
off the heavyweight. And beat anyone who was

01:03:31.679 --> 01:03:35.340
everyone there. Exactly. Same with Holyfield.

01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:38.280
He had fucking solid wins as well. For context

01:03:38.280 --> 01:03:41.880
with Holyfield, Holyfield's... like, huge war

01:03:41.880 --> 01:03:46.639
with Kawi was, first of all, 15 rounds. Christ.

01:03:47.019 --> 01:03:51.900
And his jaw was not hanging off. Kawi was known

01:03:51.900 --> 01:03:54.340
for his engine, right? Like, this is, like, if

01:03:54.340 --> 01:03:57.199
you ever have, like, two hours to just kill,

01:03:57.340 --> 01:04:02.300
put on Kawi Holyfield 1. It's 15 rounds of straight

01:04:02.300 --> 01:04:06.519
action, and what's crazy is that Holyfield picks

01:04:06.519 --> 01:04:10.739
it up by the end. Picks it up? That's it. Last

01:04:10.739 --> 01:04:14.320
15 -rounder of... Yeah, last championship 15

01:04:14.320 --> 01:04:18.460
-rounder before they changed it. They... Kawi

01:04:18.460 --> 01:04:20.900
was known for his engine more than anything at

01:04:20.900 --> 01:04:24.920
this time and at this weight class. And Holyfield,

01:04:25.059 --> 01:04:29.820
like, scrapes it out with his engine. Crazy.

01:04:30.179 --> 01:04:33.760
Out -engines the engine? He then goes apeshit

01:04:33.760 --> 01:04:37.000
and knocks everyone out at cruiserweight, including

01:04:37.000 --> 01:04:43.050
Kawi in a rematch and Carlos de Leon. And then

01:04:43.050 --> 01:04:47.489
moves up. And just knocks guys out until his

01:04:47.489 --> 01:04:51.849
hands basically shatter on George Foreman's skull.

01:04:52.230 --> 01:04:57.789
But... To show how a dominant cruiserweight should

01:04:57.789 --> 01:05:02.449
carry themselves at the division. You're allowed

01:05:02.449 --> 01:05:04.889
your hard fight. Usyk had his hard fight with

01:05:04.889 --> 01:05:07.530
Bredis and then just washed everyone else. He

01:05:07.530 --> 01:05:10.210
had a hard fight with Chizora, to his own admission.

01:05:10.610 --> 01:05:13.760
At heavyweight. Yes, at heavy. Yes. Yeah, but,

01:05:13.820 --> 01:05:15.980
like, at cruiserweight. For the standard of cruiserweight

01:05:15.980 --> 01:05:18.380
champion, like, even, like, David Haye. Like,

01:05:18.380 --> 01:05:21.559
let's say David Haye is, like, it's closer to

01:05:21.559 --> 01:05:25.900
what Opetai is, but still better. That is a better

01:05:25.900 --> 01:05:30.559
analog than Usyk and Holyfield. God, I really

01:05:30.559 --> 01:05:33.440
want to smack fucking Kellerman so badly. That's

01:05:33.440 --> 01:05:35.340
what I mean. Like, David Haye, you could use

01:05:35.340 --> 01:05:37.679
David Haye. Like, they're exciting, vulnerable

01:05:37.679 --> 01:05:43.710
guys who, like, They had okay reigns at Cruiserweight

01:05:43.710 --> 01:05:48.190
and then moved up. Like, granted, he did pick

01:05:48.190 --> 01:05:53.570
up one of the easier world titles ever. But that's

01:05:53.570 --> 01:05:57.329
not his fault. One of the easier world titles

01:05:57.329 --> 01:06:03.090
that were... It was difficult for him to win

01:06:03.090 --> 01:06:06.969
them. Yeah. Like, at Cruiserweight and Heavyweight.

01:06:07.070 --> 01:06:10.019
At Heavyweight... Imagine if he fought Evander

01:06:10.019 --> 01:06:12.599
Holyfield at heavyweight if Holyfield got the

01:06:12.599 --> 01:06:16.739
decision against Beluev. Oh, God, that fucking

01:06:16.739 --> 01:06:20.619
Easter Island statue person? Yeah, he was the

01:06:20.619 --> 01:06:24.579
guy that Hay beat for a WBA world title at heavyweight.

01:06:25.260 --> 01:06:29.539
But the thing is that right before he fought

01:06:29.539 --> 01:06:35.380
Hay, he robbed Holyfield. So we actually could

01:06:35.380 --> 01:06:37.719
have seen David Haye and Evander Holyfield in

01:06:37.719 --> 01:06:44.739
the year 2009. Think about it. You know what?

01:06:44.780 --> 01:06:47.159
That makes me depressed to think about. Oh, man.

01:06:49.980 --> 01:06:56.199
Some funny shit going on. Anything more for Zufa

01:06:56.199 --> 01:07:00.280
Boxing 4? I would say to Zufa, you go to Jaya

01:07:00.280 --> 01:07:05.940
Pattaya, but I mean... Come on. I hope somebody

01:07:05.940 --> 01:07:12.539
sorts Opetai out. He's probably locked into a

01:07:12.539 --> 01:07:17.679
contract at this point. I hope somebody, when

01:07:17.679 --> 01:07:21.239
that contract comes to term, I hope somebody

01:07:21.239 --> 01:07:23.360
sorts him out and like, hey dude, this is not

01:07:23.360 --> 01:07:29.500
the place you want to be. I think it's going

01:07:29.500 --> 01:07:35.730
to take a gentle nudge. Because he's... a former

01:07:35.730 --> 01:07:40.190
world champion so he's gonna have a little bit

01:07:40.190 --> 01:07:44.909
of a big head but still i hope somebody sorts

01:07:44.909 --> 01:07:49.530
him out like he he strikes me as kind of dumb

01:07:49.530 --> 01:07:55.230
um i that's i'm not trying to be like really

01:07:55.230 --> 01:07:58.030
demeaning i'm not trying to be demeaning it's

01:07:58.030 --> 01:08:01.090
just like he's not i don't know like he's he's

01:08:01.090 --> 01:08:05.860
a little slow uh I kind of feel bad for calling

01:08:05.860 --> 01:08:08.539
him an idiot earlier. Yeah, like... No, because,

01:08:08.639 --> 01:08:12.039
like, I get it. Hearing him talk, he's obviously

01:08:12.039 --> 01:08:14.960
slow, but, like... He's an airhead. There's slow,

01:08:15.260 --> 01:08:17.399
but then there's, like, you should, like, read.

01:08:17.560 --> 01:08:20.239
You need to read the word. Like, it's not like...

01:08:20.239 --> 01:08:23.659
Back in the day, like, Don King had to, like,

01:08:23.659 --> 01:08:27.699
hide this shit in the fine print. There should

01:08:27.699 --> 01:08:29.569
be... And Don King was better at this shit. He

01:08:29.569 --> 01:08:31.569
had to hide it in the fine print here. Like,

01:08:31.569 --> 01:08:33.590
the fighter can read it. He's just choosing not

01:08:33.590 --> 01:08:37.630
to. There should be a level of self -awareness

01:08:37.630 --> 01:08:40.729
when you're... You should know, like, I'm a bit

01:08:40.729 --> 01:08:44.729
of a fucking airhead. Maybe I should get somebody

01:08:44.729 --> 01:08:48.789
who does this for a living to look at this for

01:08:48.789 --> 01:08:55.069
me. Somebody who's like... They are paid to keep

01:08:55.069 --> 01:09:01.270
my best interest in mind. But what are we going

01:09:01.270 --> 01:09:05.430
to do? Opitaya, buddy, you want me to read your

01:09:05.430 --> 01:09:11.270
contract? You let me know. We'll manage you,

01:09:11.350 --> 01:09:16.350
bro. What's the Reddit acronym? I, anal. I am

01:09:16.350 --> 01:09:20.649
not a lawyer. I'm not a lawyer. I'm not a lawyer.

01:09:21.069 --> 01:09:24.409
Best I can tell you is I will read it cover to

01:09:24.409 --> 01:09:27.270
cover and I will give you my honest assessment.

01:09:30.120 --> 01:09:34.159
best i can tell you um but let's roll on fucking

01:09:34.159 --> 01:09:37.819
notes real quick holy shit if you would like

01:09:37.819 --> 01:09:40.359
to hear the type of chatter that we get up to

01:09:40.359 --> 01:09:43.239
do you want to hear about sol's fucking i'm gonna

01:09:43.239 --> 01:09:46.859
cut that um patreon .com slash how do you feel

01:09:46.859 --> 01:09:50.720
about hearing about sol's suits sol's suits that's

01:09:50.720 --> 01:09:53.779
a good yeah that's a that's a nice uh alternative

01:09:53.779 --> 01:09:56.880
you ever want to see him you might catch it one

01:09:56.880 --> 01:09:59.789
time Start posting on the Patreon. Just sells

01:09:59.789 --> 01:10:06.010
fit checks. There are tiers above the basic.

01:10:06.510 --> 01:10:09.689
So if you want to keep it really tucked away,

01:10:09.909 --> 01:10:14.510
we'll talk about that offline. Basically, I'm

01:10:14.510 --> 01:10:20.789
starting an online fans. I never thought I'd

01:10:20.789 --> 01:10:24.010
be a whore, but you know, today's the day. If

01:10:24.010 --> 01:10:27.130
Opitaya can be a whore, so can you. That's true.

01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:30.579
If you want to join us in Discord, you often

01:10:30.579 --> 01:10:34.000
hear us reference the chat, the server. You might

01:10:34.000 --> 01:10:36.100
hear us talk about people that are in Discord.

01:10:36.779 --> 01:10:40.819
LVX .BE slash Discord. And I want to hear your

01:10:40.819 --> 01:10:48.500
spiciest takes. 833 -589 -7637. The ideal delivery

01:10:48.500 --> 01:10:53.239
is a voice note in WhatsApp. I can cut that into

01:10:53.239 --> 01:10:56.739
the show nicely. If you want to call the number,

01:10:57.640 --> 01:11:00.779
Leave a voicemail. Fucking that works too, but

01:11:00.779 --> 01:11:03.539
your thing is going to sound like shit. And if

01:11:03.539 --> 01:11:08.079
you want to text, I'll take it. Alright. Do you

01:11:08.079 --> 01:11:10.399
have that nagging feeling of being exposed when

01:11:10.399 --> 01:11:13.640
you're online? In today's world, a simple antivirus

01:11:13.640 --> 01:11:16.579

01:11:16.800 --> 01:11:19.479

on one tiny little hero, the honeybee. But bees

01:12:19.260 --> 01:12:21.140
are struggling, and the health of our planet

01:12:21.140 --> 01:12:23.680

right, into our previews, starting with Friday,

01:13:20.779 --> 01:13:26.699
March 20th. MF Pro on DAZN. This will be co -promoted

01:13:26.699 --> 01:13:32.720
by Conlon Boxing at the SSE Arena in Belfast.

01:13:33.800 --> 01:13:38.020
Nobody on here of note other than Mickey Conlon

01:13:38.020 --> 01:13:41.899
in the main event. I almost didn't include him

01:13:41.899 --> 01:13:49.779
in this. Saturday, March 21st. Matchroom at the

01:13:49.779 --> 01:13:55.899
Copper Box. Motherfucking... Similar situation.

01:13:56.579 --> 01:14:00.380
Not a whole lot of people. This is like a Lin

01:14:00.380 --> 01:14:07.020
card. Yeah. George Ladard vs. Tyler Denny. I

01:14:07.020 --> 01:14:09.399
think the British middleweight title is on the

01:14:09.399 --> 01:14:17.670
line here. So, that's fine. Sure. Yeah, whatever.

01:14:19.890 --> 01:14:26.510
Man, we got one and a half title fights this

01:14:26.510 --> 01:14:31.510
weekend. I haven't checked. There's probably

01:14:31.510 --> 01:14:36.930
more fights on the bill. But Probox TV in San

01:14:36.930 --> 01:14:43.170
Bernardino, California. Co -main Joshua Kevin

01:14:43.170 --> 01:14:50.479
Anton. versus Kudratilo Abdukakarov. Excellent.

01:14:50.600 --> 01:14:55.600
And in the main event, Lester Martinez versus

01:14:55.600 --> 01:15:01.500
Emmanuel Alim for the interim WBC super middleweight

01:15:01.500 --> 01:15:06.920
title. Lester, my man, you got done dirty. There

01:15:06.920 --> 01:15:12.739
is no situation where Christian Mbili gets elevated

01:15:12.739 --> 01:15:16.279
to full title list. Without having had to face

01:15:16.279 --> 01:15:21.539
you again. This is a situation I said before

01:15:21.539 --> 01:15:27.420
where interim WBC titles are where championship

01:15:27.420 --> 01:15:31.699
dreams go to die. I don't think Lester's going

01:15:31.699 --> 01:15:36.979
to get the fight again. I really don't. And Lester,

01:15:37.079 --> 01:15:41.100
I fully believe with all of my heart that he

01:15:41.100 --> 01:15:47.149
would win the rematch. God damn it. It sold out.

01:15:48.409 --> 01:15:49.970
I didn't know this year was in San Bernardino.

01:15:52.449 --> 01:15:57.050
Maybe if you check the calendar, you would have

01:15:57.050 --> 01:16:01.850
known about it weeks ago. No, I didn't know it

01:16:01.850 --> 01:16:03.569
was in San Bernardino, though. I knew the fight

01:16:03.569 --> 01:16:04.609
was happening, but I didn't know it was in San

01:16:04.609 --> 01:16:06.949
Bernardino. As I said, if you check the calendar,

01:16:07.170 --> 01:16:11.510
you would have. But that's neither here nor there.

01:16:12.319 --> 01:16:15.479
Sorry, Saul. Yeah, that's on you. It's okay,

01:16:15.520 --> 01:16:19.539
though. We'll get to watch it together and enjoy.

01:16:20.359 --> 01:16:26.500
Facts. Last one. Matchroom on DAZN at the Caribe

01:16:26.500 --> 01:16:33.640
Royale in Orlando, Florida. Let's see. Moving

01:16:33.640 --> 01:16:37.979
up the bill. Entrevious Ingram just has a fucking

01:16:37.979 --> 01:16:43.140
excellent name. I just wanted to say it. Up the

01:16:43.140 --> 01:16:46.159
bill, Terra Moana. I haven't checked if he has

01:16:46.159 --> 01:16:49.659
an opponent yet. Chances are, like, this far

01:16:49.659 --> 01:16:52.060
out, if he doesn't have an opponent, it's not

01:16:52.060 --> 01:16:55.119
going to be anybody, like, worthwhile. And Terra

01:16:55.119 --> 01:16:57.380
Moana's still in his, like, can -crushing phase

01:16:57.380 --> 01:17:05.300
of his career. So, c 'est la vie. Yoannis Taiz

01:17:05.300 --> 01:17:10.960
versus Myles Micelle. Taez is the dude that got

01:17:10.960 --> 01:17:19.100
beat by Abbas Baru. So that's fun. Omari Jones

01:17:19.100 --> 01:17:24.159
is back. Quick turnaround. Versus Christian Gomez.

01:17:25.439 --> 01:17:32.079
And headlining Carlos Adamas, the WBC middleweight

01:17:32.079 --> 01:17:37.640
champion, versus Austin Williams. Third round.

01:17:37.600 --> 01:17:41.220
ranked contender. I refuse to call him Tiger.

01:17:42.039 --> 01:17:48.060
He is Ammo. But that's it. That's all we got

01:17:48.060 --> 01:17:53.039
on the calendar. For this week, anyway. Sure.

01:17:55.380 --> 01:17:57.819
You know what we're getting close to? Fucking

01:17:57.819 --> 01:18:03.720
Chisora Wilder. Chisora Wilder and Gangbusters.

01:18:04.539 --> 01:18:08.140
Wardley Dubois. Holy shit, dude. That is coming

01:18:08.140 --> 01:18:16.199
up, too. May 9th. We'll get there. Anyway, Nagatani.

01:18:17.119 --> 01:18:20.359
Holy shit. And Zerto Benavidez. May is going

01:18:20.359 --> 01:18:22.100
to be real good. We just got to suffer the next

01:18:22.100 --> 01:18:24.500
bit. Bro, this night of suffering is easy, dude.

01:18:24.539 --> 01:18:25.500
Last year was way worse. Yeah, I was going to

01:18:25.500 --> 01:18:28.100
say, last year was fucking dog shit, so I'm happy

01:18:28.100 --> 01:18:33.220
here. You're right. We've got some nibbles as

01:18:33.220 --> 01:18:36.340
we lead up to the bigger dishes, so we're good.

01:18:37.710 --> 01:18:45.470
We're good. I think we're sitting pretty. Let's

01:18:45.470 --> 01:18:55.470
see. So, we are going into Adamus Ammo Weekend.

01:18:56.949 --> 01:19:04.350
Parting words. Let's go, Carlos Adamus. Go, Adamus.

01:19:04.750 --> 01:19:10.270
Jayo Pataya. You know what? Jao Pataya undisputed

01:19:10.270 --> 01:19:13.109
before virtual world title. Go fuck yourself.

01:19:14.329 --> 01:19:17.909
How bad would that be? Undisputed Zufa champion,

01:19:18.090 --> 01:19:22.869
maybe? Yeah, true. Zufa title. You know, maybe

01:19:22.869 --> 01:19:25.630
the Zufa title, I'd be less mad at it if it didn't

01:19:25.630 --> 01:19:28.649
look ugly as shit. I'd be less mad if they didn't

01:19:28.649 --> 01:19:32.630
call fucking Zufa. That's true. It's tacky. It's

01:19:32.630 --> 01:19:35.310
so tacky. Imagine they called it a TKO belt.

01:19:35.789 --> 01:19:39.329
Like UFC is ultimate fighting championship. The

01:19:39.329 --> 01:19:44.170
belt is gold and black. It's cool as fuck. Like

01:19:44.170 --> 01:19:48.449
you call it Zufa and it looks like a watch. Yeah,

01:19:48.449 --> 01:19:52.489
Casio watch, right? Yeah. Zufa, yeah. What the

01:19:52.489 --> 01:19:54.569
fuck even is Zufa? It has the color palette of

01:19:54.569 --> 01:19:57.869
my calculator and it says Zufa on it. I don't

01:19:57.869 --> 01:19:59.449
fucking want that. I don't even want to look

01:19:59.449 --> 01:20:02.729
at it. I want to fight for the Zufa belt when

01:20:02.729 --> 01:20:08.840
I grow up. The WBC looks cool. That's like the

01:20:08.840 --> 01:20:12.600
number one reason why it's more legitimized.

01:20:13.680 --> 01:20:16.859
Because it's cool as fuck. The Zufa belt is silver

01:20:16.859 --> 01:20:20.640
and black and it's tacky. Looks like it was made

01:20:20.640 --> 01:20:23.619
out of plastic. It does look like it's made out

01:20:23.619 --> 01:20:29.600
of plastic. The WBC does what they also do which

01:20:29.600 --> 01:20:34.149
I really like is the commemorative designs. Yes.

01:20:34.149 --> 01:20:38.909
Like the British one when Tyson Fury beat Dillian

01:20:38.909 --> 01:20:42.829
White. Yeah. I'm not British. That was a fucking

01:20:42.829 --> 01:20:46.829
cool ass belt. The Floyd Mayweather versus Conor

01:20:46.829 --> 01:20:50.170
McGregor, the money belt. The money belt. I'm

01:20:50.170 --> 01:20:51.630
looking it up right now. That's the one I was

01:20:51.630 --> 01:20:53.850
thinking of. Yeah, the diamond encrusted belt.

01:20:54.050 --> 01:20:57.869
Diamond encrusted, made of gator skin. Are you

01:20:57.869 --> 01:21:01.250
fucking kidding me, dude? And it was gold, like

01:21:01.250 --> 01:21:05.960
legit gold. No, I know. The IBF uses gold in

01:21:05.960 --> 01:21:11.319
their belts, and it's cool. Zufa is fucking dick

01:21:11.319 --> 01:21:17.479
and balls. It looks off. And Saul, I think a

01:21:17.479 --> 01:21:22.220
big one is the name. You could have called this

01:21:22.220 --> 01:21:26.140
anything. Anything. Yeah, just the fact that

01:21:26.140 --> 01:21:28.699
it says Zufa on it makes it ten times worse.

01:21:29.000 --> 01:21:33.270
Yeah. Because of UBC. I would fucking like it

01:21:33.270 --> 01:21:34.989
like that. Anything, dude. If you look at the

01:21:34.989 --> 01:21:40.649
UFC belt, it's gold. It says UFC on it. It's

01:21:40.649 --> 01:21:43.350
black and gold. It looks pretty cool. There's

01:21:43.350 --> 01:21:46.170
already a UBC, by the way. It's the Ultimate

01:21:46.170 --> 01:21:50.789
Fighting Championship. Universal Boxing Council.

01:21:51.649 --> 01:21:54.550
Look that one up. Just come up with something

01:21:54.550 --> 01:21:59.369
that isn't. Zufa. Zufa is so stupid. You can

01:21:59.369 --> 01:22:01.590
make an acronym. Like, if you want to be super

01:22:01.590 --> 01:22:04.409
corny 2010's edgelord, you can call it the war

01:22:04.409 --> 01:22:09.350
belt and come up with an acronym for war. Extreme

01:22:09.350 --> 01:22:15.970
KO belt. Yeah. XKO. XKO is fine. That's pretty

01:22:15.970 --> 01:22:22.710
dope. TKO. That's the parent company. TKO. TKO

01:22:22.710 --> 01:22:24.750
is cool. Or you could just call it the KO belt.

01:22:26.160 --> 01:22:28.579
You know, they could call the WBC the World Boxing

01:22:28.579 --> 01:22:32.359
Congress. They could just do anything except

01:22:32.359 --> 01:22:39.539
Zufa. They could call the ZBC and call Zufa Zufa

01:22:39.539 --> 01:22:42.159
Boxing Champion. It would look fucking so much

01:22:42.159 --> 01:22:46.359
better than ZBC. I thought you said Z -B -Z like

01:22:46.359 --> 01:22:50.039
Zufa Boxing Zoo. That's what I thought. I don't

01:22:50.039 --> 01:22:52.880
know why I thought you said that. What is a fucking

01:22:52.880 --> 01:22:58.579
zoo? They're a bunch of fucking animals. Fuck.

01:22:58.939 --> 01:23:01.720
All right. So is that what we got for parting

01:23:01.720 --> 01:23:07.000
words? Zufa fucking sucks. Yes. All right. Cool.

01:23:07.500 --> 01:23:12.260
That is it for this edition of the Boxing B -Sides.

01:23:12.439 --> 01:23:15.239
Holy shit. We will see you on the other side.

01:23:16.020 --> 01:23:19.880
Adamus, Ammo, who will be the fucking middleweight

01:23:19.880 --> 01:23:23.260
champion? We will find out. See you on the other

01:23:23.260 --> 01:23:23.500
side.
