This is the B -Sides Boxing Podcast. 00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:27.160 Alright, uh, timer is running. Here we go. Boxing 00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.120 B -Sides. Holy shit, we are back to talk the 00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:35.200 fucking fights. Etalma, Fundora, we'll get to 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:41.479 that next time right now. Saul, Josh, my boys, 00:00:41.659 --> 00:00:45.600 how we doing? Glad to be back for another week 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.820 of Boxing B -Sides. Oh, yeah. We are back. We 00:00:48.820 --> 00:00:53.520 got lots of news and not many fights. I am very 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:59.659 good at scheduling us. I'll have you know. I 00:00:59.659 --> 00:01:01.500 like the news. The news parts are always the 00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:04.739 highlights. Yeah, I want to see. I feel like 00:01:04.739 --> 00:01:06.920 the news parts are the best parts now. It's like 00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.000 reading The Onion, except at the very end of 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.879 the headline, you can attach before Virgil Belt. 00:01:16.219 --> 00:01:22.140 And it's funny every time. You know what? I hope 00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:25.870 fucking Trump bombs. Fucking Canada. Oh, my God. 00:01:26.069 --> 00:01:28.370 See, look, we have Mexicans for Trump in this 00:01:28.370 --> 00:01:33.750 podcast. Look at this. Look, he's saying, this 00:01:33.750 --> 00:01:37.469 Virgil, that Virgil. Man, second egg, bro. Jesus 00:01:37.469 --> 00:01:41.689 Christ. Well, I got one for you. You remember 00:01:41.689 --> 00:01:45.370 the cartoon character Speedy Gonzalez that was 00:01:45.370 --> 00:01:48.349 canceled a while back? Well, again, the Mexicans 00:01:48.349 --> 00:01:51.780 brought him back. And now he has a movie. That 00:01:51.780 --> 00:01:55.239 has been greenlit. Speedy Gonzalez returns for 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.459 a movie before Virgil Belt. How's that? Actually, 00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:01.079 it's crazy. I support that. I love that. I love 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:03.159 Speedy Gonzalez. That's what I wanted to ask 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:07.060 you guys. What are we feeling about the quote 00:02:07.060 --> 00:02:12.219 -unquote Mexican minstrel show caricature getting 00:02:12.219 --> 00:02:16.120 a movie? Getting a movie? Oh, man. You know what? 00:02:18.109 --> 00:02:20.590 Yeah, I actually like Speedy Gonzalez. What am 00:02:20.590 --> 00:02:24.129 I saying? I liked him. I'm literally one of those 00:02:24.129 --> 00:02:27.270 people. I liked him a lot. I thought he was funny. 00:02:29.009 --> 00:02:32.090 I think it's just representation. It's not the 00:02:32.090 --> 00:02:34.770 most offensive cartoon I've ever seen against 00:02:34.770 --> 00:02:37.969 Mexicans. The old Kreek Kreek cartoons were made 00:02:37.969 --> 00:02:42.789 in Mexico and still more offensive. I just think 00:02:42.789 --> 00:02:46.289 I just see myself as Speedy Gonzalez. I actually 00:02:46.289 --> 00:02:49.610 see myself in that little guy. Weedy Gonzalez. 00:02:50.729 --> 00:02:54.770 Weedy Gonzalez is crazy. He runs on burritos. 00:02:54.930 --> 00:03:03.009 I am him. I am him. I run on burritos. I can't 00:03:03.009 --> 00:03:08.930 help myself. I just wanted to get your thoughts 00:03:08.930 --> 00:03:13.650 on Speedy Gonzalez getting his movie. Fuck yeah, 00:03:13.710 --> 00:03:20.300 dude. I'm still a little miffed that the goddamn 00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:26.919 Chihuahua, Taco Bell Chihuahua, got pulled. I 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:32.919 hate it just because it's a Chihuahua. So if 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:34.800 it had been some other type of dog, it would 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:39.780 have been fine? Yeah. Eh, well. I feel like it, 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.180 yeah. I feel like a Chihuahua represents us the 00:03:42.180 --> 00:03:45.800 best, though. you could have done one of those 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:51.280 like, uh, annoying. No, like the small guys with 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.460 a Napoleon complex. Yeah. Yeah. There's that, 00:03:54.580 --> 00:03:58.979 um, like that Aztec breed. That's like hairless. 00:03:59.099 --> 00:04:03.060 And it's like a big fucking Doberman looking 00:04:03.060 --> 00:04:07.699 thing. Could have done one of those, but if you, 00:04:07.699 --> 00:04:13.439 if you want it to look more tough anyway. Let's 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:17.819 move on. A little bit of MMA talk. March 20th, 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:21.899 One Friday Fights 147. I had to bring this one 00:04:21.899 --> 00:04:26.740 up because my guy Nabil Anand got beat. Holy 00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:30.399 shit. Rambo -like whooped his ass. And he claimed 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:34.560 the bantamweight Muay Thai title. I think that's 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:42.149 135 over on their side of the house. Also, in 00:04:42.149 --> 00:04:45.310 the main portion of the card, because they're 00:04:45.310 --> 00:04:49.810 doing like a paid segment and a free portion 00:04:49.810 --> 00:04:57.949 now. Asadula Imangazaliev. Knocked out Nong -O 00:04:57.949 --> 00:05:01.930 is his name. There were a lot of good fights 00:05:01.930 --> 00:05:05.410 on this card. I always recommend them. Because 00:05:05.410 --> 00:05:09.949 Muay Thai, if you like, just... If you're willing 00:05:09.949 --> 00:05:12.410 to deal with a little bit of kicking, a little 00:05:12.410 --> 00:05:16.089 bit of knees, a little bit of elbows, Muay Thai 00:05:16.089 --> 00:05:24.610 is 100 % for you. But Iman Gazaliev, he did not 00:05:24.610 --> 00:05:28.870 come in on weight. So he did not win the title. 00:05:29.870 --> 00:05:34.750 So he's like the number one contender at this 00:05:34.750 --> 00:05:39.399 point. But enough of that. One Friday Fights. 00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.540 All of the One Friday Fights cards are free on 00:05:42.540 --> 00:05:45.579 YouTube. I highly recommend them. They're on 00:05:45.579 --> 00:05:49.899 Fridays, no shit. But I recommend checking them 00:05:49.899 --> 00:05:55.480 out. Into the boxing news. Josh, your guy, David 00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.610 Allen, will be head... Yes, Mr. Piss Jugs. Mr. 00:05:59.689 --> 00:06:02.910 Piss Jugs himself will be headlining a Queensbury 00:06:02.910 --> 00:06:08.569 card with a quote -unquote top 15 opponent. I 00:06:08.569 --> 00:06:12.889 saw it was Filip Hergovich today. Really? Excellent. 00:06:13.029 --> 00:06:17.290 Yeah. So it's someone he can actually beat. Yeah. 00:06:17.329 --> 00:06:21.069 That's crazy. Hergovich is very beatable. Yep. 00:06:21.110 --> 00:06:22.589 Against a guy like Dave Allen? I don't know about 00:06:22.589 --> 00:06:25.490 that. No one's beatable with Dave Allen. But 00:06:25.490 --> 00:06:30.060 it's more beatable than Zhang. just breaking 00:06:30.060 --> 00:06:35.819 his hand on his head. Like, let's be real, with 00:06:35.819 --> 00:06:38.220 Herkovich, he's plenty vulnerable that, like, 00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:40.259 yeah, Alan can probably just tough it out because 00:06:40.259 --> 00:06:43.579 Herkovich looks like he's sweating all the whiskey 00:06:43.579 --> 00:06:48.300 out in round three. But, like, Zhang would have 00:06:48.300 --> 00:06:50.920 broken, like, the only hope for Alan was for 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.779 Zhang to break his left hand on his skull. And 00:06:54.779 --> 00:06:58.079 there would still be a few rounds to go. Yeah, 00:06:58.379 --> 00:07:00.600 you'd still have to last those rounds cardio 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:10.480 -wise, too. Well, speaking of Brit stuff, Zufa 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.759 Boxing signs a multi -year deal with Sky Sports. 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:17.600 Not that much of a surprise when they signed 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:21.160 Conor Benn. It seemed like the logical direction 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:25.720 they were going to try to get a foothold in the 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:31.100 UK. But like Sky Sports, whatever, they've been 00:07:31.100 --> 00:07:34.079 out of the boxing game for a little bit. So it's 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:37.199 kind of, I don't know. It's a little surprising 00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:40.839 that Sky Sports would sign a boxing deal with 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.920 anyone just because they've been out of the game. 00:07:44.019 --> 00:07:47.459 But I don't know. What do you guys think? Bring 00:07:47.459 --> 00:07:54.509 it on, motherfuckers. You're worst. Here is something 00:07:54.509 --> 00:07:59.089 that I found interesting. Teofimo tweets and 00:07:59.089 --> 00:08:04.430 deletes. Quote, I may never fight again. End 00:08:04.430 --> 00:08:08.930 quote. He does this every fight he loses. Does 00:08:08.930 --> 00:08:13.290 he? Every time he loses, he goes on this. He 00:08:13.290 --> 00:08:16.370 was already doing it before Camposos. These kinds 00:08:16.370 --> 00:08:23.189 of weird breakdowns. I say it every time. My 00:08:23.189 --> 00:08:29.930 man is straight up bipolar. And I say it on Boxing 00:08:29.930 --> 00:08:32.649 Before Dark, but if I ever got a chance to shake 00:08:32.649 --> 00:08:37.330 hands with Teofimo Lopez, I would have a Zoloft 00:08:37.330 --> 00:08:40.470 pill in my hand. I would shake his hand like, 00:08:40.570 --> 00:08:44.710 you want this. I promise you. You want this. 00:08:44.990 --> 00:08:50.509 This will fucking really get you straight. It 00:08:50.509 --> 00:08:55.340 will. I'll just feed him a Big Arch. Big Arch 00:08:55.340 --> 00:09:03.879 burger. I still need to try that. I've heard 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:09.580 mixed reviews. It's like corduroy couch, honestly. 00:09:10.340 --> 00:09:15.179 It's okay. It does the job, I guess. It's fine. 00:09:15.460 --> 00:09:17.679 Apparently. Pretty much all I've gotten from 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:24.100 it. I think it's something else. Jared Anderson 00:09:24.100 --> 00:09:28.860 is going to be signing with Queensberry. I had 00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:32.860 heard that there's an opponent already selected, 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.200 but I don't remember who it was that was on the 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:42.940 rumor mill. Do you guys remember? Actually, don't. 00:09:46.860 --> 00:09:53.440 Who's the... For Anderson? Yeah, Jared Anderson. 00:09:53.820 --> 00:09:58.600 Yeah. I mean, Atama's so obvious. Like, this 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:00.779 is so obviously, like, let's prop him up for, 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.879 like, two fights and then, like... Let Atama 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.799 murk him? Yeah, basically. Like, it's... Queensbury 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.820 does this a lot. It's not like they're being 00:10:10.820 --> 00:10:15.740 slick about it. I know that they're trying to 00:10:15.740 --> 00:10:18.700 prop him up for sure. Like, they're trying to 00:10:18.700 --> 00:10:23.399 rebuild him. Yeah, it's just... It's kind of 00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:26.980 sad that, like, Top Rank dropped him after the 00:10:26.980 --> 00:10:30.320 one fight with Bacoli, like, what, because he 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:34.100 went against their suggestion that he shouldn't 00:10:34.100 --> 00:10:39.120 take it? Yeah, like... I think it's mainly after 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:44.169 that last fight with Martin. Yeah. The hijinks, 00:10:44.169 --> 00:10:45.710 mainly that fight. I think, obviously, after 00:10:45.710 --> 00:10:47.090 Bacoli, I think they were trying to rebuild him. 00:10:47.370 --> 00:10:49.490 He seemed just interested in that rebuilding. 00:10:51.110 --> 00:10:56.090 Well... We'll see. He might be decent again. 00:11:01.549 --> 00:11:05.549 Armando Resendiz will be defending his WBA super 00:11:05.549 --> 00:11:09.210 middleweight title against Jaime Munguia. Apparently, 00:11:09.330 --> 00:11:15.080 like, since we last convened, Resendiz was supposed 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.000 to fight Munguia. That fight dropped out. He 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.639 was supposed to fight Charlo. That fight dropped 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.159 out. And now he's fighting Munguia again. This 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:27.580 is supposed to be on the Zurdo -Benevides, I 00:11:27.580 --> 00:11:30.840 think the co -main. So that's pretty cool. That's 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:35.419 a good fight. I like that. I know what we talked 00:11:35.419 --> 00:11:38.419 about last time. I think Munguia wins. I genuinely 00:11:38.419 --> 00:11:42.920 think Munguia takes the fight. Real quick. Is 00:11:42.920 --> 00:11:45.019 Munguia with Goldenboy still or no? I don't know 00:11:45.019 --> 00:11:47.279 what the heck's happening with that. Or is he 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:50.200 still a top rank? Yeah, I don't know what's happening 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:55.740 with that right now. Well, his base promoter 00:11:55.740 --> 00:12:01.019 is Xanfer. Who his US affiliate is has changed 00:12:01.019 --> 00:12:05.779 from time to time. It's a good question to wonder 00:12:05.779 --> 00:12:11.789 who the fuck are you with these days. Either 00:12:11.789 --> 00:12:13.769 way, I think Munguia becomes champion after this. 00:12:13.809 --> 00:12:16.850 I don't think Armando Resende's really... I'd 00:12:16.850 --> 00:12:20.909 say it, but Caleb Plant was not a fluke. Well, 00:12:20.929 --> 00:12:26.070 yeah, he was washed. Munguia's chin is cracked, 00:12:26.289 --> 00:12:29.509 though. It's cracked, but at the same time, I 00:12:29.509 --> 00:12:34.470 mean... The Reynoso style, it did work for Munguia 00:12:34.470 --> 00:12:37.990 with his cracked chin, like when he rematched 00:12:37.990 --> 00:12:41.850 Saras. Well, I mean, you also have PEDs, but, 00:12:41.889 --> 00:12:45.009 I mean, that's besides the point. I mean, at 00:12:45.009 --> 00:12:47.230 the end of the day, also, I mean, Resendiz, we're 00:12:47.230 --> 00:12:49.909 also not bringing up how Resendiz lost to Elijah 00:12:49.909 --> 00:12:55.990 Garcia. Elijah Garcia, dude. Do you think? Maybe 00:12:55.990 --> 00:13:00.789 I'm putting too much stock into Garcia that, 00:13:00.889 --> 00:13:04.389 like, maybe people are holding it too much against 00:13:04.389 --> 00:13:10.440 Resendiz to have that loss. I'm sorry, dude. 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:15.100 I can't imagine a world where Elijah Garcia win 00:13:15.100 --> 00:13:18.039 is better than a Bruce Ross win. Again, Bruce 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.940 Ross is from France. I get it. But Elijah Garcia, 00:13:21.059 --> 00:13:24.480 we know who he is. We know that PBC is propping 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.039 him up. His last fight, I forgot. I think it 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:32.279 wasn't. Who did he fight? J -Rock? Does it really 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:35.279 matter? He fought someone, and they robbed the 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.039 other fighter. The other fighter beat him, and 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:40.139 they robbed him. Because Elijah Garcia freaking 00:13:40.139 --> 00:13:44.019 isn't that great of a fighter. All respect to 00:13:44.019 --> 00:13:49.039 him, but he's kind of not good. Buns? Buns, yeah. 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:54.419 If he had a hot dog, he'd be the buns. He wouldn't 00:13:54.419 --> 00:13:59.679 be the meat. He'd be the buns. If he was a cheeseburger, 00:13:59.820 --> 00:14:01.000 he wouldn't even be the meat. He wouldn't be 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:06.460 the tomato. He would be the buns. The buns. Fucking 00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:11.480 metaphors are fantastic. Yeah, I think Munguia 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.559 wins. I don't know. Resendiz, he looked decent 00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:17.980 that last fight, but he didn't look world -beating. 00:14:20.539 --> 00:14:25.419 Bear Knuckle Boxing signs Victor Ortiz and John 00:14:25.419 --> 00:14:32.679 Molina. I'm sure... Go on. This is way better 00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:37.559 than the Pauly Maladagi type that was previously 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.940 getting signed. Yes. This is an upgrade. Yeah, 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:47.600 these are two better fighters than Pauly. But 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:54.399 BKB is the... BKB is the retirement league, it 00:14:54.399 --> 00:15:04.080 seems. BKFC, it seems. That when a boxer still 00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:09.399 has just a little bit left, they go to BKFC. 00:15:09.539 --> 00:15:13.240 Because like Austin Trout, Jamel Herring are 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:19.059 doing work. But BKB is not quite at that level. 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:27.340 I try to avoid watching bare knuckle shit as 00:15:27.340 --> 00:15:31.240 much as I can anyway. I catch the highlights. 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:34.720 Oh, yeah, if they come across my... The highlights 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:41.860 are great when they... Yeah, yeah. Luis Neri 00:15:41.860 --> 00:15:45.620 vs. John Riel Casimero will be happening in April. 00:15:45.700 --> 00:15:51.240 This is a... I think in Kazakhstan, the Kamedas 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:55.240 are putting on another two - or three -day fight 00:15:55.240 --> 00:16:01.080 festival that includes concerts and stuff. I'm 00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:07.279 not sure what it is that they witnessed for the 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:13.059 ring or the Riyadh season, rather. What did they 00:16:13.059 --> 00:16:17.720 watch there that they thought was a good idea? 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.879 Because this shit is not. Stop mixing these two. 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:27.080 Put on a concert? Go ahead. Put on fights? Go 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:29.740 ahead. Stop fucking mixing them. Nobody likes 00:16:29.740 --> 00:16:40.679 it. Lanier Pero versus Jarrell Miller will be 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:48.179 taking place in Las Vegas in late April. I think 00:16:48.179 --> 00:16:56.039 Miller just signed a deal with Mattroom. Yeah, 00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:05.440 Miller's kind of... Here, let me verify. He is... 00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:13.440 It's all bullshit about this haircut. Let's see. 00:17:13.579 --> 00:17:17.400 I think it's Matchroom, yes. I'm pretty sure 00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:22.940 it's Matchroom. I had said... I don't remember 00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:26.849 where I said it, but... This hair piece situation 00:17:26.849 --> 00:17:29.230 is like the greatest thing that could have happened 00:17:29.230 --> 00:17:33.569 for his career. At this stage, this is fucking 00:17:33.569 --> 00:17:37.089 perfect. So, of course, he gets signed to a major 00:17:37.089 --> 00:17:44.869 promoter at this point. Chris Colbert vs. Tevin 00:17:44.869 --> 00:17:51.210 Farmer. Washed versus Washed. Yeah, I was trying 00:17:51.210 --> 00:17:54.069 to think of a good way to put it. I hope Farmer 00:17:54.069 --> 00:18:00.490 wins that. It'd be really... I'd never want to 00:18:00.490 --> 00:18:03.230 see Colbert in a huge fight again because it'd 00:18:03.230 --> 00:18:05.990 be hilarious if the last time we saw Colbert 00:18:05.990 --> 00:18:09.089 was the OnlyFans logo on his trunks up after 00:18:09.089 --> 00:18:14.009 Ryo... Sparked him? Yeah, after Ryo ran him over. 00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:20.480 Man, I was thinking I would prefer to see Chris 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:24.559 Colbert win. I remember when Tevin Farmer was 00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:29.640 first starting to catch notice from the boxing 00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:33.900 social media landscape. We had talked about it 00:18:33.900 --> 00:18:38.059 before, where it's like, discount his first four 00:18:38.059 --> 00:18:41.559 losses, because that happened before anybody 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:43.380 even knew who it was. Oh, that was here. We talked 00:18:43.380 --> 00:18:47.900 about it here. Yeah, exactly. But since that 00:18:47.900 --> 00:18:50.779 point, like, I was always, I always had a little 00:18:50.779 --> 00:18:54.059 bit of, like, hesitation with accepting Farmer 00:18:54.059 --> 00:18:58.359 as, like, a real contender, you know what I mean? 00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:03.039 So, Chris Colbert is fucking ass. Like, I'm sure 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:06.119 his chicken joint is better than his boxing, 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:11.259 but I would prefer to see Chris Colbert, like, 00:19:11.339 --> 00:19:14.769 bounce off of Tevin Farmer trampoline. And get 00:19:14.769 --> 00:19:17.990 himself back into the mix and get fucking sparked 00:19:17.990 --> 00:19:22.750 again. But still, like, just Tevin Farmer, like, 00:19:22.789 --> 00:19:25.950 come on. He has plenty of money. Chris Colbert, 00:19:26.069 --> 00:19:29.369 I don't know if he's sitting as pretty as Tevin. 00:19:31.470 --> 00:19:35.950 No mas. All right. Jordan Martinez, he was on 00:19:35.950 --> 00:19:40.529 the Nav Nunez card. He's a local kid out of Phoenix. 00:19:41.349 --> 00:19:43.769 I wanted to make sure that he got a shout out. 00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:48.279 He got signed to Matchroom, so congrats to him. 00:19:48.420 --> 00:19:54.059 Love to see a local kid doing good. Brandon Lee, 00:19:54.339 --> 00:19:59.259 if you remember him, he signed with Zufa. Well, 00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:03.619 he says he has signed with Zufa. Zufa has not 00:20:03.619 --> 00:20:07.339 confirmed that he has. Zufa might be ashamed. 00:20:09.600 --> 00:20:15.039 Man, it sucks that you're right, because I like 00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:19.279 Brandon Lee. I've always been a fan of his. But 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:22.720 going to Zufa, I think, is the best move for 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.779 him. As we have said with guys like Mark McSio 00:20:26.779 --> 00:20:31.980 and all the rest of them, steady work. You're 00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:37.250 not going to be challenged all that much. You 00:20:37.250 --> 00:20:40.809 get to be a bigger, not big fish in a little 00:20:40.809 --> 00:20:46.190 pond, but a bigger fish in a small pond. So I'm 00:20:46.190 --> 00:20:48.670 just glad to see Brandon Lee still getting work. 00:20:48.890 --> 00:20:56.569 I like him. But I know he's not great. Hard pill 00:20:56.569 --> 00:21:00.690 to swallow. Part of the fun of a bad bust prospect 00:21:00.690 --> 00:21:04.289 is seeing them step up and lose and find their 00:21:04.289 --> 00:21:08.519 place. And going to Zufa, it's just never going 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:11.480 to happen. So you're not going to see the bubble 00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:15.920 burst, like, for real? You rob, like, I know 00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:17.980 it's bad to, like, wish the downfall, but that 00:21:17.980 --> 00:21:21.599 just happens with bust prospects, right? But, 00:21:21.700 --> 00:21:24.400 like, the big part of you see, you watch a prospect 00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:26.839 either to see them prosper or to see them crash 00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:31.400 and burn. And when, by going to Zufa, you kind 00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:38.880 of rob whatever fans the guy had of either. I 00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:45.420 think you're right. It's bad. We like to show 00:21:45.420 --> 00:21:47.720 respect to fighters for getting in the ring, 00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:52.940 but as entertainment and personalities. You want 00:21:52.940 --> 00:21:55.759 it to go either to the top or you want it to 00:21:55.759 --> 00:22:01.279 boom or bust. In regards of a facet of the sport, 00:22:01.460 --> 00:22:04.579 which we can separate from just the concept of 00:22:04.579 --> 00:22:09.740 getting into the ring, period. Like you said, 00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:13.619 a boomer bust is what you want and not just he 00:22:13.619 --> 00:22:15.839 doesn't fight for four years and then he goes 00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:17.940 to a promotion where he'll never lose but never 00:22:17.940 --> 00:22:22.059 actually succeed. He's going to stagnate. It's 00:22:22.059 --> 00:22:28.059 not interesting. There's no progress. He's been 00:22:28.059 --> 00:22:30.319 at that point in his career where it's obvious 00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:33.920 he's a bust. It's just he has to step up to be 00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:38.549 exposed. his bust has not been proven yet just 00:22:38.549 --> 00:22:43.549 because he got bailed out a few times so yeah 00:22:43.549 --> 00:22:49.269 you're right um man even still i'm just even 00:22:49.269 --> 00:22:55.529 though he he is a um i'm trying to think like 00:22:55.529 --> 00:23:00.049 a bust mirage i guess like yeah so it's just 00:23:00.049 --> 00:23:02.829 one of those it's like an nba player who like 00:23:02.829 --> 00:23:06.259 instead of like making it to the playoffs and 00:23:06.259 --> 00:23:09.259 choking and everything, he ends up on the team 00:23:09.259 --> 00:23:12.740 that never contends but never tanks either, and 00:23:12.740 --> 00:23:14.380 they pay him way too much. Like, think of Josh 00:23:14.380 --> 00:23:20.039 Giddey. Devin Booker? No, Devin Booker made it 00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:23.420 to an NBA Finals. True, he did. But I'm saying 00:23:23.420 --> 00:23:25.480 Josh Giddey. Josh Giddey's a guy on the Bulls. 00:23:25.500 --> 00:23:28.559 They're so bad, but they're still not trying 00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:30.480 to tank. Like, they think they can actually do 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:34.450 it. He's getting paid 23... Like, he's getting 00:23:34.450 --> 00:23:37.029 paid a very significant part of their salary 00:23:37.029 --> 00:23:43.029 cap. And it's just to be, like, stats guy. But 00:23:43.029 --> 00:23:46.630 it's not... There's no progress in his career, 00:23:46.650 --> 00:23:50.829 and there's no progress in the team. And, like, 00:23:50.910 --> 00:23:54.170 it's more frustrating than exciting. Because, 00:23:54.250 --> 00:23:55.569 like, there's a difference between, like, you 00:23:55.569 --> 00:23:58.819 overpay a guy... super super much and then they 00:23:58.819 --> 00:24:00.839 bust in the playoffs like there's a storyline 00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:06.799 there so are we in this instance is connor ben 00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:09.180 the guy that you're talking about where you overpay 00:24:09.180 --> 00:24:12.539 him and then he busts in the playoffs like regis 00:24:12.539 --> 00:24:15.519 pro gray fucking sparks connor ben and i like 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.480 that see that's what you demand See? That's what 00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:21.859 I mean. But you see how the storyline is great 00:24:21.859 --> 00:24:23.839 there. Even the prospect of it is entertaining. 00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:27.700 It's just desserts for Connor. Like here, Brandon 00:24:27.700 --> 00:24:30.880 Lee's getting overpaid to go fight bums on Zufa 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:34.880 and maybe one of them sparks him out. Or he's 00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:38.420 just going to can crush. And then he's going 00:24:38.420 --> 00:24:40.420 to get old and then he's going to retire and 00:24:40.420 --> 00:24:42.539 it's going to be like... Oh, he's going to be 00:24:42.539 --> 00:24:45.920 the Zufa 135 champion or whatever the fuck. Yeah, 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.819 like, who cares? He fights at 140. Right, that's 00:24:48.819 --> 00:24:50.000 what I mean. Like, he's either going to go up 00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:51.859 or down. And the thing is that 140 has been such 00:24:51.859 --> 00:24:53.779 a pretty stacked weight class with the amount 00:24:53.779 --> 00:24:57.259 of people going through it that, like, you would 00:24:57.259 --> 00:24:59.819 have thought he would have been, like, let's 00:24:59.819 --> 00:25:07.519 say, like, when GAR lost to Apoyo. Like, he needs 00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:09.859 a rebound. He could have been the guy for Nahir 00:25:09.859 --> 00:25:15.650 Albright. Like, there's lots of, like, those 00:25:15.650 --> 00:25:18.970 guys that, like, Lee could step up to and, like, 00:25:19.029 --> 00:25:23.609 that, yeah, sink or swim. Oh, yeah. Like, you're 00:25:23.609 --> 00:25:25.710 the trampoline. Like, they're either going to 00:25:25.710 --> 00:25:28.930 bounce off you or you're going to catch them. 00:25:31.109 --> 00:25:36.049 Hmm. Well, kind of, I don't know if we mentioned 00:25:36.049 --> 00:25:40.420 it last time, but Richardson Hitchens. Is allegedly 00:25:40.420 --> 00:25:45.000 going to the dark side. Good riddance. Yeah. 00:25:45.339 --> 00:25:52.019 I'm happy he's gone. See ya, bro. Don't let the 00:25:52.019 --> 00:25:54.819 door hit you on the way out, buddy. Go out and 00:25:54.819 --> 00:25:56.779 find a Zufa where you're going to be paying peanuts. 00:25:58.859 --> 00:26:03.700 He's good. It's just like he's such a negative 00:26:03.700 --> 00:26:06.769 fighter to use. josh's phrase like he's such 00:26:06.769 --> 00:26:09.150 a negative fighter like i can't fucking stand 00:26:09.150 --> 00:26:14.190 him god and it's because he's he has the talent 00:26:14.190 --> 00:26:18.769 he just chooses not to employ it and it's not 00:26:18.769 --> 00:26:21.890 like it's not even like oh he has no power or 00:26:21.890 --> 00:26:25.549 like he's unaware like it's it's so deliberate 00:26:25.549 --> 00:26:29.529 right exactly he's too he's too good you can 00:26:29.529 --> 00:26:33.000 tell he's deliberate in not engaging with George 00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:42.019 Camposos until he has nothing left. I'm not saying 00:26:42.019 --> 00:26:46.700 get hit, but I'm saying... You can do more. You 00:26:46.700 --> 00:26:53.480 can do more against worse opponents. Well, speaking 00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:58.059 of doing more, do you remember Sam Noakes? Good 00:26:58.059 --> 00:27:01.180 old Sam Knows Fod. Unfortunately. Yeah. He will 00:27:01.180 --> 00:27:06.839 be making his return on top -tier boxing on DAZN. 00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:15.119 So that's nice. I think I brought this up. I 00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:19.099 don't know if you guys knew Drip, but he used 00:27:19.099 --> 00:27:22.799 to be on B -Sides with Shanada and myself before 00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:30.119 you guys. Yeah. We met. We reunited on Boxing 00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:34.119 Before Dark, and I brought up top tier, and Drip 00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:35.920 was like, who the fuck are you talking about? 00:27:36.660 --> 00:27:39.900 So they looked it up. It's this promotion. They 00:27:39.900 --> 00:27:46.000 go off on Sundays just to avoid getting in the 00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:50.180 way of major cards, right? But their primary 00:27:50.180 --> 00:27:56.079 matchmaker is Ali Drew. social media personality 00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:01.519 around the like combat sports in the UK. And 00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:05.000 I, I, I had just mentioned like, Oh yeah, I, 00:28:05.059 --> 00:28:09.279 uh, on Canelo triple G three, the fucking fight. 00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:12.759 Nobody wanted to see, but I was still there in 00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:16.720 a media capacity and I was sitting next to Allie 00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:20.160 drew. And it was like, yeah, well, there you 00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:28.789 go. Her and her cameraman. He was upset with 00:28:28.789 --> 00:28:35.369 how salty the popcorn was. Oscar Duarte versus 00:28:35.369 --> 00:28:39.789 Angel Fierro in negotiations for the Zerto Benavidez 00:28:39.789 --> 00:28:44.869 undercard. This is like fucking fireworks. I'm 00:28:44.869 --> 00:28:47.990 really excited about this. Actually, I think 00:28:47.990 --> 00:28:49.529 this is outdated because I think it was actually 00:28:49.529 --> 00:28:53.369 announced to be on the card itself. Oh, so it's 00:28:53.369 --> 00:28:56.829 confirmed. Yeah, it was confirmed along with 00:28:56.829 --> 00:29:01.190 Munguia and Resendiz. And Resendiz, yeah. All 00:29:01.190 --> 00:29:04.690 right, cool. So it's not in negotiations. It's 00:29:04.690 --> 00:29:08.730 actually happening. I think that's what I saw, 00:29:08.789 --> 00:29:11.730 because you know the posters they post? Yeah. 00:29:12.289 --> 00:29:15.490 Their whole card. Sometimes it has projected 00:29:15.490 --> 00:29:21.759 fights, not always what is firm. Yeah. Yeah, 00:29:21.779 --> 00:29:24.720 I got you. But this fight is fucking fireworks. 00:29:25.059 --> 00:29:28.279 Fierro put up an awesome fight against Pitbull. 00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:32.880 And Duarte is going to do what Duarte does. Duarte's 00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:34.700 pretty fun. Yeah, he's going to do what he does. 00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:43.920 So that's a good fight. Last bit. Oleksandr Usyk 00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:49.619 has outlined his last three fights. Number one. 00:29:50.309 --> 00:29:55.970 Rico Verhoeven. Number two, the winner of Fabio 00:29:55.970 --> 00:29:59.109 Wardley versus Daniel Dubois. And number three, 00:29:59.789 --> 00:30:06.329 Tyson Fury Trilogy. What are we thinking? Yeah, 00:30:06.329 --> 00:30:08.890 man, I'm sorry. I don't want to see those fights, 00:30:08.990 --> 00:30:11.029 man. I don't want to see fucking any of those. 00:30:11.750 --> 00:30:15.750 Yeah, I'm sorry, dude. That's Daniel Dubois for 00:30:15.750 --> 00:30:17.250 the third time. He doesn't deserve it. See, I'm 00:30:17.250 --> 00:30:20.200 not defending him. on the selection of fights, 00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:25.099 but I think people are too up in arms over, like, 00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:28.119 the other fights he could have. Like, the contenders 00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:31.539 he does have are not good enough to complain 00:30:31.539 --> 00:30:35.140 about to this extent. You don't think Caballel's 00:30:35.140 --> 00:30:37.940 worth replacing the Wardley Devolver? No, not 00:30:37.940 --> 00:30:40.819 at all. I was watching Caballel get pieced up 00:30:40.819 --> 00:30:46.390 by his last opponent in the second round. Yeah, 00:30:46.430 --> 00:30:49.869 but that's an unknown fight versus... We've already 00:30:49.869 --> 00:30:53.549 seen Tyson Fury. No, I know. I get it. I get 00:30:53.549 --> 00:30:58.450 it. But it's like... Caballel is not good enough 00:30:58.450 --> 00:31:03.789 to be screaming that Usyk is a fraud from the 00:31:03.789 --> 00:31:07.930 top of the rafters. I'm not saying he's a fraud. 00:31:08.230 --> 00:31:10.529 No, I know. I don't approve of the fights, but 00:31:10.529 --> 00:31:14.390 it's a big thing I've seen. Like, on Boxing Twitter 00:31:14.390 --> 00:31:16.710 or Boxing Reddit, where it's like, oh, this affects 00:31:16.710 --> 00:31:20.430 his legacy. No, it doesn't. It doesn't. It's, 00:31:20.490 --> 00:31:24.630 like, let's be real. Like, Muhammad Ali had this 00:31:24.630 --> 00:31:26.970 quality of fights when he was on his way out. 00:31:27.089 --> 00:31:29.309 The only difference is that he actually lost 00:31:29.309 --> 00:31:35.529 one of them. Yeah. He lost to Leon Spinks. Three 00:31:35.529 --> 00:31:37.650 of them, actually. Yeah. Like, you know, but 00:31:37.650 --> 00:31:39.390 I'm saying, like, the actual, like, realistic 00:31:39.390 --> 00:31:43.190 title. Like, during his title run. Near the end 00:31:43.190 --> 00:31:45.990 of his reign. The Leon Spinks duology was like, 00:31:46.089 --> 00:31:49.750 he lost to a guy who was 7 -0 and never all that. 00:31:52.609 --> 00:31:57.450 Well, I mean, I got a pretty crazy take, but 00:31:57.450 --> 00:32:02.250 I mean. Go ahead. What's your take? Actually, 00:32:02.309 --> 00:32:06.789 this is kind of horrendous. But, I mean, if Benavidez 00:32:06.789 --> 00:32:11.690 wants to be, you know, Philly. Go to heavyweight 00:32:11.690 --> 00:32:14.970 fight Usyk. That's some silly shit, but I mean, 00:32:14.990 --> 00:32:18.069 it's not out of the reach. It's not like... I'm 00:32:18.069 --> 00:32:20.470 looking at the fights he had right at the end 00:32:20.470 --> 00:32:23.910 of his career. Yeah, he fought Shavers Norton 00:32:23.910 --> 00:32:28.309 for the third time, but he had those two fights 00:32:28.309 --> 00:32:32.049 with Leon Spinks. He fought Alfredo Evangelista. 00:32:32.309 --> 00:32:35.170 He fought Richard Dunn. These are similar quality 00:32:35.170 --> 00:32:40.369 opponents. Mike, what Usyk's looking at. Like, 00:32:40.369 --> 00:32:41.730 at least... Yeah, but they're all new fights. 00:32:43.210 --> 00:32:46.349 But who cares? But the point is that the contender 00:32:46.349 --> 00:32:48.869 that you're demanding he fight instead is not, 00:32:48.930 --> 00:32:51.569 like, good enough. Like, I'll say the winner 00:32:51.569 --> 00:32:53.690 of Wardley -Dubois is a legitimate world champion, 00:32:53.910 --> 00:32:57.549 unfortunately. Well, I would like to see if Wardley 00:32:57.549 --> 00:32:58.970 wins against Dubois. Yeah, if Wardley wins... 00:32:58.970 --> 00:33:00.869 I wouldn't want to see that one. Yeah, I want 00:33:00.869 --> 00:33:03.049 to see that one. Fury 3 is the only one I'm really 00:33:03.049 --> 00:33:07.140 mad about, honestly. Yeah, I'm more... Yeah, 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:10.140 my one's definitely... So you get the right to 00:33:10.140 --> 00:33:14.259 your gimmick fight, right? That's Rehoovan. You 00:33:14.259 --> 00:33:17.079 get your gimmick fight, like, I'm sure, like, 00:33:17.220 --> 00:33:21.740 what is it, like, Chuck Wepner was, like, about 00:33:21.740 --> 00:33:26.579 the same quality, right? Yeah, probably, yeah. 00:33:26.740 --> 00:33:29.019 Like, Chuck Wepner's about the same level of 00:33:29.019 --> 00:33:33.579 skill. Like, this Wardley Dubois winner I'm fine 00:33:33.579 --> 00:33:35.759 with because it's a legit contender. Say what 00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:37.220 you will about it being a third fight against 00:33:37.220 --> 00:33:39.220 Dubois. Dubois keeps winning the fights he needs 00:33:39.220 --> 00:33:44.819 to, right? So has Caballel, though. If it's Wardley, 00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:48.640 cool. But if Dubois wins, I prefer Caballel. 00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:53.660 See, I prefer Caballel, too, in Germany. That 00:33:53.660 --> 00:33:57.220 would be crazy. But I also acknowledge that he's 00:33:57.220 --> 00:33:59.779 also just not a good enough contender to be like, 00:33:59.900 --> 00:34:04.319 ah, he's ducking. Like, the legitimate era parent. 00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:06.960 No, it's not to say he's ducking. It's just, 00:34:06.980 --> 00:34:09.159 like, I don't want to see Dubois 3. That's all. 00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:14.619 Yeah, that's fair. Like, I think Cabell has been 00:34:14.619 --> 00:34:19.579 the beneficiary of good matchmaking. True. In 00:34:19.579 --> 00:34:22.840 his high -profile fights. Because, like, technically, 00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:26.699 like, his prime was, like, robbing Derek Chisora. 00:34:31.019 --> 00:34:35.840 Was that really a robbery, though? Yes. And the 00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:38.019 German commission, and the commission in Monte 00:34:38.019 --> 00:34:40.059 Carlo prevented Chisora's team from entering 00:34:40.059 --> 00:34:43.840 the country. I don't think that was really a 00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:47.460 robbery. Have you watched the fight? Well, I've 00:34:47.460 --> 00:34:48.719 seen the fight. It was a long time ago. I've 00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:50.619 seen the fight. I mean, honestly, I think that 00:34:50.619 --> 00:34:53.840 was also before his other fights, too. And you 00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:56.250 could improve as a fighter as well. Yeah, I just 00:34:56.250 --> 00:34:59.710 think, like, Sanchez with one knee, Mahmouda, 00:34:59.750 --> 00:35:03.670 like, guys who are, like, like, cards to be knocked 00:35:03.670 --> 00:35:08.429 down by a style just like Caballos. I mean, I 00:35:08.429 --> 00:35:11.650 agree to a sense that Caballos is benefiting 00:35:11.650 --> 00:35:13.949 from a good match. It reminds me of the Dillian 00:35:13.949 --> 00:35:18.510 White run. Like, when, before, right, before 00:35:18.510 --> 00:35:23.909 Povetkin, like, killed him. Yeah, I don't know. 00:35:23.909 --> 00:35:25.500 I see what you're saying. It reminds me of the 00:35:25.500 --> 00:35:27.900 Dillian White run where he had a good promoter 00:35:27.900 --> 00:35:31.880 who gave him really beneficial matchmaking that, 00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:34.900 like, it looks good, and then you can start complaining 00:35:34.900 --> 00:35:40.099 that the champion is ducking him. Like, at the 00:35:40.099 --> 00:35:44.320 time, Joseph Parker, Oscar Rivas, like, Robert 00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:46.820 Helanious, Lucas Brown, like, they all look pretty 00:35:46.820 --> 00:35:55.309 good. Chisora twice. like it looks good but also 00:35:55.309 --> 00:35:57.769 like you know he's not going to be competitive 00:35:57.769 --> 00:36:00.210 in the slightest with the actual champions fury 00:36:00.210 --> 00:36:01.769 is the one right draw the line i think that was 00:36:01.769 --> 00:36:06.429 ridiculous win loser draw with the fight we're 00:36:06.429 --> 00:36:10.710 going to talk about i would rather see if like 00:36:10.710 --> 00:36:13.809 if we're having to pick between the fury trilogy 00:36:13.809 --> 00:36:17.409 i would rather see usik fight wilder regardless 00:36:17.409 --> 00:36:21.170 of whether he loses to chizora well i thought 00:36:21.170 --> 00:36:22.650 yes was gonna be doing the first place but you 00:36:22.650 --> 00:36:25.210 know that's what i thought too but here we are 00:36:25.210 --> 00:36:31.670 ducking wilder ducking wilder would be a crazy 00:36:31.670 --> 00:36:37.329 take in 2026 oh shit that's um i hope we get 00:36:37.329 --> 00:36:41.309 a youtube comment about that one well you know 00:36:41.309 --> 00:36:43.530 if someone comments about that i guess they don't 00:36:43.530 --> 00:36:48.869 understand freaking satire yeah man i think you're 00:36:48.869 --> 00:36:54.619 right You're not catching the irony in what we're 00:36:54.619 --> 00:37:00.980 saying. But these three fights. Anything more 00:37:00.980 --> 00:37:05.840 before we move on? All right. Let's see here. 00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:09.139 Some notes before we move on.

Into the 00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:14.539 reviews, starting with, there's only really one 00:42:14.539 --> 00:42:18.460 fight that I want to point out on this one. MF 00:42:18.460 --> 00:42:23.539 Pro on Friday, March 20th at the SSE Arena in 00:42:23.539 --> 00:42:28.920 Belfast. Michael Conlon retires after dropping 00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:33.539 the ball to Kevin Walsh. Even if he won that. 00:42:33.679 --> 00:42:36.139 He should have retired. Yeah, fuck yeah. Even 00:42:36.139 --> 00:42:38.719 if he won that. That was dog shit. That was straight 00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:46.280 ass, dude. I have come around on Mickey. I had 00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:51.719 previously always held him up as this is a person 00:42:51.719 --> 00:42:56.269 for some reason I do not like. And I cannot give 00:42:56.269 --> 00:43:00.030 you a valid reason why. But... I think it's just 00:43:00.030 --> 00:43:05.090 the entitlement to a... Like, the whole career 00:43:05.090 --> 00:43:07.869 has been entitlement since the Olympics. Or at 00:43:07.869 --> 00:43:10.070 least the perception of entitlement. Since he 00:43:10.070 --> 00:43:12.809 got jobbed at the Olympics, which is fair. Like, 00:43:12.809 --> 00:43:16.949 he showed up entitled to, like, world title shots 00:43:16.949 --> 00:43:21.369 and everything. That might be it. And it's always 00:43:21.369 --> 00:43:23.789 felt... Like, top rank has carried him, like... 00:43:24.269 --> 00:43:26.989 Like, he's owed the world, even though, like, 00:43:27.010 --> 00:43:32.750 he got jobbed once at the Olympics. It's really 00:43:32.750 --> 00:43:38.369 not a big deal. Mayweather got jobbed. Roy Jones. 00:43:38.510 --> 00:43:46.309 Roy Jones Jr. got jobbed by nine judges. In Korea, 00:43:46.530 --> 00:43:49.469 one of them quit, and so did the guy who robbed 00:43:49.469 --> 00:43:54.099 him. The guy who... The guy who benefited from 00:43:54.099 --> 00:43:57.599 the robbery gave him his gold medal. And quit 00:43:57.599 --> 00:44:01.119 boxing forever. This is bullshit. I can't do 00:44:01.119 --> 00:44:09.139 this. Moving to Saturday, March 21st. We are 00:44:09.139 --> 00:44:13.539 starting with Britslop at the Copperbox Arena. 00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:19.300 Just the top two. Jimmy Sainz gets the majority 00:44:19.300 --> 00:44:23.630 decision over Derek Osaze. And George Ladard 00:44:23.630 --> 00:44:28.849 retains his... Maidstone Glovekin, what was it? 00:44:29.349 --> 00:44:34.909 I don't know. Lynn, what did you call him? He 00:44:34.909 --> 00:44:40.130 retains all of his trinkets over Tyler Denny. 00:44:45.090 --> 00:44:52.019 ProBoxTV. In San Bernardino, California. We talked 00:44:52.019 --> 00:44:56.760 about it last time. Jocelyn Camarillo. Camarillo. 00:44:56.920 --> 00:45:02.059 Fuck. Remember your roots, dog. KO1 over Isis 00:45:02.059 --> 00:45:06.320 CEO. Yes, this one. That was the one where we 00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:09.320 were talking about, like, remember that these 00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:12.800 people are putting their lives on the line for 00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:18.619 our entertainment. Isis. It may have developed 00:45:18.619 --> 00:45:21.079 for the better or for the worse at this point. 00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:24.420 I don't know. When you're listening to this, 00:45:24.519 --> 00:45:27.179 the last news that we had was that she's out 00:45:27.179 --> 00:45:31.820 of the coma, eating, off the ventilator, talking, 00:45:32.340 --> 00:45:36.239 responsive. Everything is going well, the last 00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:38.420 that we heard. But by the time you're hearing 00:45:38.420 --> 00:45:42.079 this, I don't know. We can only hope that she's 00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:47.860 doing better. Jocelyn, fucking awesome knockout 00:45:47.860 --> 00:45:51.840 homegirl. Like, good on you, dude. Like, the 00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:57.960 chicks don't often get big KOs like that. Keep 00:45:57.960 --> 00:46:01.760 doing your thing. Yep, keep doing it. Maybe don't 00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:05.159 put people in Tacomas, but... I don't know, man. 00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:07.760 We've cheered on Subrio Matias for too long to 00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:11.860 give this kind of advice. Too fair. Well, Subrio 00:46:11.860 --> 00:46:14.130 Matias also got knocked out himself, so... Yeah, 00:46:14.150 --> 00:46:19.829 but he also killed a guy. Yeah. I can't even 00:46:19.829 --> 00:46:28.070 lie. He just killed a guy. Moving up the bill, 00:46:28.469 --> 00:46:31.570 Sammy Contreras, the guy that we were talking 00:46:31.570 --> 00:46:35.289 about before a few weeks ago that signed with 00:46:35.289 --> 00:46:39.639 Top Rank just recently, they put him out. to 00:46:39.639 --> 00:46:43.239 work on uh pro box and he beat the shit out of 00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:48.199 caesar con 2 damn yeah dude it was fucking rough 00:46:48.199 --> 00:46:54.019 uh albert gonzalez gets a stoppage in one over 00:46:54.019 --> 00:47:00.840 brandon chambers uh joshua anton uh kudratilo 00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:06.119 abdukakarov retires after the first It was weird. 00:47:06.199 --> 00:47:08.599 He was, like, pointing at his head like he had 00:47:08.599 --> 00:47:11.239 a migraine or something. I don't know. He just 00:47:11.239 --> 00:47:17.659 kind of, like, quit, to be honest. So, whatever. 00:47:20.539 --> 00:47:25.840 In the main event, Lester Martinez wins the interim 00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:30.699 WBC super middleweight title over a very tough 00:47:30.699 --> 00:47:35.960 Emmanuel Aleem. That's great. He did. He looked 00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:38.639 really good. Something that Shanada had pointed 00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:43.619 out that I thought was really poignant was this 00:47:43.619 --> 00:47:46.960 is an instance of Lester Martinez demonstrating 00:47:46.960 --> 00:47:50.559 his finesse. Like, he wasn't just going for, 00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:54.739 like, clobber mode. And I think people were, 00:47:54.820 --> 00:47:58.800 because it's Probox, people were expecting clobber, 00:47:58.820 --> 00:48:04.539 rock 'em, sock 'em robots. But. Yeah. Lester 00:48:04.539 --> 00:48:07.380 looked awesome. He looked good. I think, like, 00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:10.559 it's good. And he's carrying on this sort of, 00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:12.619 like, he started picking it up halfway through, 00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:15.059 like, the Nbili fight, where, like, it wasn't 00:48:15.059 --> 00:48:17.139 just the rock him, suck him, club him, but he 00:48:17.139 --> 00:48:21.800 started, you know, slipping shots, finding counters, 00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:25.800 and here it was. Like, I'm not saying Emmanuel 00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:28.380 Aleem is the greatest opponent of all time, but 00:48:28.380 --> 00:48:32.760 I'm saying this is a perfect guy to... have lester 00:48:32.760 --> 00:48:35.659 continue to evolve against because he did he 00:48:35.659 --> 00:48:38.559 gets better as the fight goes on no matter what 00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:41.860 like he's very much a sponge of knowledge for 00:48:41.860 --> 00:48:47.219 his coach yeah bomac um really did he continued 00:48:47.219 --> 00:48:52.000 to prove that lester is like you said a good 00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:56.199 sponge and he executes perfectly on a very good 00:48:56.199 --> 00:48:59.760 game plan and he adjusts perfectly on a good 00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:09.210 coach Lester, it's not as easy to say, based 00:49:09.210 --> 00:49:13.909 on this performance, that Lester would have beaten 00:49:13.909 --> 00:49:17.429 Mbili in a rematch. It's not as easy to say. 00:49:17.789 --> 00:49:22.829 But I still think Martinez has Mbili's number. 00:49:23.429 --> 00:49:28.539 Mbili's a one -trick pony. He did not rate. being 00:49:28.539 --> 00:49:31.699 elevated without having the run back with Martinez. 00:49:32.659 --> 00:49:44.460 Lester, he is what you want in a champion. Like 00:49:44.460 --> 00:49:48.260 we've been saying, he's coachable, he's adaptable, 00:49:48.739 --> 00:49:54.980 he's a really nice dude, just a really good person. 00:49:55.579 --> 00:49:58.559 This is what you want in a champion. I think 00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:04.800 Lester fucking runs the fade on Mbele. Absolutely. 00:50:06.599 --> 00:50:13.380 Last one for the recaps. Only four fights on 00:50:13.380 --> 00:50:17.219 this one. Matchroom at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, 00:50:17.500 --> 00:50:23.019 Florida. First things first. Tara Moana stops 00:50:23.019 --> 00:50:28.869 Curtis Harper in the first. Holy shit. Curtis 00:50:28.869 --> 00:50:33.530 Harper, it's a joke that I like, that I like 00:50:33.530 --> 00:50:38.449 how it worked out. So I had said that when Curtis 00:50:38.449 --> 00:50:42.389 Harper sees Tara Moana doing the haka, he's going 00:50:42.389 --> 00:50:45.150 to walk out of the ring the same way he did against 00:50:45.150 --> 00:50:48.510 F .A. Ajagba. Now, it didn't work out in that 00:50:48.510 --> 00:50:51.550 sense because he got knocked out in the first 00:50:51.550 --> 00:50:54.909 round. But once Tara Moana started doing the 00:50:54.909 --> 00:50:58.409 haka, if you watch the replay. You can see Curtis 00:50:58.409 --> 00:51:03.170 Harper walking out of the ring. I fucking called 00:51:03.170 --> 00:51:07.150 that shit, baby. The Haka was going to send Curtis 00:51:07.150 --> 00:51:12.590 Harper walking. Good shit. Terry Moana knocking 00:51:12.590 --> 00:51:17.409 over the cans as he continues to pile up the 00:51:17.409 --> 00:51:21.230 wins, as you would expect from a 9 -0 fighter. 00:51:22.289 --> 00:51:29.190 Whatevs. Corey Marksman impressed the ever -loving 00:51:29.190 --> 00:51:34.869 fuck out of me. He beat Jacob Gomez by unanimous 00:51:34.869 --> 00:51:43.190 decision. I'm trying to think. He reminds me 00:51:43.190 --> 00:51:48.789 of Keyshawn Davis mixed with Shakur Stevenson. 00:51:48.949 --> 00:51:54.050 I know this is very hyperbolic, but I was that 00:51:54.050 --> 00:51:58.190 impressed. He looked so fucking good. I'm going 00:51:58.190 --> 00:52:00.909 to try to get in touch with his team because 00:52:00.909 --> 00:52:06.030 I want to talk to him. Hopefully. He seemed pretty 00:52:06.030 --> 00:52:12.590 good. He was fucking fantastic. Holy shit. Good 00:52:12.590 --> 00:52:18.269 asset to have. His punch selection, his defensive 00:52:18.269 --> 00:52:24.190 work, his ring generalship. Holy shit. This guy 00:52:24.190 --> 00:52:29.000 is like a the complete package already. I feel 00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:32.599 like that. Obviously, his opponents need to get 00:52:32.599 --> 00:52:34.860 better so he can demonstrate it a little bit 00:52:34.860 --> 00:52:40.019 more, but I'm all in. His name is really fucking 00:52:40.019 --> 00:52:44.199 cool, so that really does help. Do you have a 00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:49.019 good nickname? It's too smooth, which is not 00:52:49.019 --> 00:52:53.059 cool, but Corey Marksman? Come on. How did you 00:52:53.059 --> 00:52:57.699 not go with the sniper or something like that? 00:52:57.699 --> 00:52:59.840 Yeah, the sniper. Yeah, I was about to think 00:52:59.840 --> 00:53:06.260 the sniper. Well, in the co -main, Omari Jones 00:53:06.260 --> 00:53:12.340 plays it safe, gets the UD over Christian Gomez. 00:53:13.639 --> 00:53:18.159 I expected better from Omari, just because he 00:53:18.159 --> 00:53:21.599 had this dude figured out in the... first or 00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:23.800 second round like what like why are you just 00:53:23.800 --> 00:53:28.300 playing with your food but what are you gonna 00:53:28.300 --> 00:53:32.440 do i think it's an off night for him honestly 00:53:32.440 --> 00:53:38.340 you think so yeah i think so i think he just 00:53:38.340 --> 00:53:41.440 needs to to be in a better fight to obviously 00:53:41.440 --> 00:53:44.340 get you know better experience become more knowledgeable 00:53:44.340 --> 00:53:49.320 yeah exactly better opposition make him fight 00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:55.840 better Exactly. Fair enough. Well, Carlos Adamas, 00:53:55.920 --> 00:54:01.940 the WBC middleweight champ, he just UD'd Austin 00:54:01.940 --> 00:54:07.199 Williams. I am surprised that it didn't get stopped, 00:54:07.380 --> 00:54:13.900 but Austin Williams was tough as I've ever seen. 00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:21.010 We were talking last week. Before we started, 00:54:21.170 --> 00:54:24.829 Saul, you and I were talking about this is an 00:54:24.829 --> 00:54:28.369 instance where people will want to call Ammo 00:54:28.369 --> 00:54:33.230 a bum, but this dude just... I wonder who would 00:54:33.230 --> 00:54:36.789 say that. I don't know. Who would ever say that? 00:54:36.849 --> 00:54:44.550 Not me. But he carried... He comported himself 00:54:44.550 --> 00:54:50.670 well enough. Uh, he, he faced a world champion 00:54:50.670 --> 00:54:57.489 and he gave a really good effort. He tried his 00:54:57.489 --> 00:54:59.710 best. Um, like, do I want to give him a gold 00:54:59.710 --> 00:55:03.809 star for effort? Yes, I do. Um, it's the best 00:55:03.809 --> 00:55:07.289 I can do. I don't know. Josh, do you want to 00:55:07.289 --> 00:55:09.809 like dunk on him or something? Oh, absolutely 00:55:09.809 --> 00:55:12.349 not. I just like my, my main point about this 00:55:12.349 --> 00:55:14.869 fight is like, what is Emma Williams's corner 00:55:14.869 --> 00:55:18.039 think they're accomplishing? I don't know. They 00:55:18.039 --> 00:55:20.440 could have stopped it, like, rounds earlier. 00:55:20.860 --> 00:55:25.579 Full respect, like, fantastic heart from Emma 00:55:25.579 --> 00:55:27.800 Williams hanging on to the end and still trying. 00:55:28.039 --> 00:55:31.880 It's not like he phoned it in. Adamas was really 00:55:31.880 --> 00:55:35.199 putting belt to ass, too. But in that case, like, 00:55:35.219 --> 00:55:38.000 after round five, where, like, it's so obvious 00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:41.320 that, like, there is, like, you're not even tickling 00:55:41.320 --> 00:55:44.800 him, and he's just turning your fighter in the 00:55:44.800 --> 00:55:49.219 paste. What are we doing? Pull him out. A loss 00:55:49.219 --> 00:55:53.280 is a loss. Round eight or nine, at best, is when 00:55:53.280 --> 00:55:56.079 they could have held him in. Five, it was obvious. 00:55:56.380 --> 00:55:59.019 Eight or nine is giving your fighter benefit 00:55:59.019 --> 00:56:01.900 of the doubt. Letting him go all 12 is negligent. 00:56:02.300 --> 00:56:07.539 I got to say that the ammo, he was landing even 00:56:07.539 --> 00:56:11.340 bombs in round 12. He landed a couple hard shots 00:56:11.340 --> 00:56:15.219 on Adames, and Adames was visibly hurt. See, 00:56:15.300 --> 00:56:17.920 I understand that, but there's also a whole rest 00:56:17.920 --> 00:56:20.639 of the fight that he spent taking punishment. 00:56:22.179 --> 00:56:24.739 They believed in him. Simple as that. They just 00:56:24.739 --> 00:56:26.699 believed in him that he could get a knockout. 00:56:27.780 --> 00:56:30.699 You know? I don't know. It's like sometimes it's 00:56:30.699 --> 00:56:33.679 not worth it. Oh, no, not at all. I do got to 00:56:33.679 --> 00:56:38.260 say myself that Adame's looked a league above 00:56:38.260 --> 00:56:41.719 Ammo in this fight. He looked fantastic. I got 00:56:41.719 --> 00:56:44.230 to say. His head movement, Adama's head movement, 00:56:44.329 --> 00:56:46.610 and the ability to cut off the ring, it's really 00:56:46.610 --> 00:56:51.010 good. You know? I was watching it, and even there 00:56:51.010 --> 00:56:53.650 were some points in the final, like, damn. Like, 00:56:53.670 --> 00:56:56.829 that double right hand knockdown, beautiful. 00:56:57.510 --> 00:57:01.849 Beautiful. Very, uh, I'm excited to see Adama's 00:57:01.849 --> 00:57:06.030 again next year. Oh, yeah, because he's a once 00:57:06.030 --> 00:57:08.469 -a -year fighter. Yeah, he's a once -a -year 00:57:08.469 --> 00:57:10.070 fighter. He's the new Lara. He's the new Lara. 00:57:10.679 --> 00:57:12.440 Yeah, he's a new R. You know, we get him once 00:57:12.440 --> 00:57:14.059 a year, then we get R once a year. He said he's 00:57:14.059 --> 00:57:16.079 moving to 168, actually. Yeah, I was going to 00:57:16.079 --> 00:57:19.519 break that up. He's moving it to 168, so there's 00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:24.159 a lot better competition. I wonder if having 00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:28.940 that caliber of fighters around you is going 00:57:28.940 --> 00:57:32.679 to make you come out and fight more often. I 00:57:32.679 --> 00:57:35.760 think it will. I'll say this right now, that 00:57:35.760 --> 00:57:38.900 if he goes up and fights Christian Billy, Oh, 00:57:38.920 --> 00:57:41.019 my God. That would be gangbusters. That is an 00:57:41.019 --> 00:57:44.980 awesome fight. I would love to see that fight. 00:57:46.760 --> 00:57:49.920 Which one's gangbusters? The Adamas and Lester? 00:57:50.440 --> 00:57:55.079 No, Adamas and Billy. Okay. Adamas and Billy's 00:57:55.079 --> 00:57:59.980 good. I like Adamas and Lester, too. Yeah, but 00:57:59.980 --> 00:58:02.420 that one's... I feel like Lester might probably... 00:58:02.420 --> 00:58:05.039 Lester might just beat the shit out of him, but 00:58:05.039 --> 00:58:07.000 the thing is that it's fun. At that point, these 00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:10.559 matchups are fun. I feel like with him and Mbili, 00:58:10.619 --> 00:58:14.320 they're both similar styles, similar size. I 00:58:14.320 --> 00:58:17.719 think Lester and Adamas is more a case of similar 00:58:17.719 --> 00:58:19.880 styles. Maybe not size. Similar styles, similar 00:58:19.880 --> 00:58:23.199 skills. Because I will say Mbili probably outsizes 00:58:23.199 --> 00:58:26.960 Adamas, but also... Adamas is more technical 00:58:26.960 --> 00:58:30.519 than Mbili is. The number one thing that you 00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:34.380 could tell at the start of the ammo fight? The 00:58:34.380 --> 00:58:38.110 jab. The jab. just oh yeah ammo getting pieced 00:58:38.110 --> 00:58:42.869 up by the jab alone it was the like the first 00:58:42.869 --> 00:58:45.449 like that's the first red flag that this is not 00:58:45.449 --> 00:58:49.010 going to be competitive because you have no answer 00:58:49.010 --> 00:58:53.530 for like the jab like the most foundational punch 00:58:53.530 --> 00:58:57.769 in boxing yeah like there's no there's no shot 00:58:57.769 --> 00:59:02.670 that like no wonder he's able to start throwing 00:59:02.670 --> 00:59:06.880 double right hands and everything like Imagine 00:59:06.880 --> 00:59:10.219 this fight was going to be on the Shakur card. 00:59:10.619 --> 00:59:17.360 That would have been stacked. More stacked. They 00:59:17.360 --> 00:59:23.880 could have moved this back a week for the Fandora 00:59:23.880 --> 00:59:29.300 Thurman card since Sanchez Torres got canceled. 00:59:30.019 --> 00:59:34.719 Yeah, and Adamez is PVC. Right. That was, I don't 00:59:34.719 --> 00:59:37.599 know. We're not talking about that particular 00:59:37.599 --> 00:59:44.280 card just yet. We have a pretty stacked preview 00:59:44.280 --> 00:59:46.539 section. So, do you guys got anything more for 00:59:46.539 --> 00:59:54.840 Adamas and Ammo? Not at all. Man, Ammo, I think 00:59:54.840 --> 00:59:58.539 he can't... Do you think... Let me pose it to 00:59:58.539 --> 01:00:01.440 you guys. Do you think it's possible in a... 01:00:01.630 --> 01:00:04.329 Such a weak division, especially with a guy like 01:00:04.329 --> 01:00:09.829 Adamas moving up. Can Ammo maybe snag a title? 01:00:11.389 --> 01:00:16.670 I think so. 160 is dog shit. He can do it. Janabek, 01:00:16.730 --> 01:00:19.269 if he's going to continue fighting, he's moving 01:00:19.269 --> 01:00:25.909 up. So there are no real threats. I feel like 01:00:25.909 --> 01:00:28.530 he could probably snag a title. He probably could. 01:00:28.670 --> 01:00:32.010 I think he could. By the way, Carlo's zombies 01:00:32.010 --> 01:00:34.610 look pretty damn good. Honestly, I think they 01:00:34.610 --> 01:00:37.230 had a round of the year in that fight as well. 01:00:37.269 --> 01:00:39.590 It was a really good fight. They had a particular 01:00:39.590 --> 01:00:41.150 round of the year. I think it was round four. 01:00:42.230 --> 01:00:46.809 I don't even track round of the year. Keep track, 01:00:46.909 --> 01:00:50.090 though. I'll try. I think I'll forget about it. 01:00:50.570 --> 01:00:53.809 Listen, nothing's getting this out of my head. 01:00:54.010 --> 01:00:58.489 It's going to be something from the Provox fight 01:00:58.489 --> 01:01:04.429 last week. Oh, the Najee, yeah. Yeah, Najee Lopez. 01:01:04.570 --> 01:01:06.269 It's going to be Lopez Galegos for everything 01:01:06.269 --> 01:01:09.590 this year. Like, I doubt. I think the only fight 01:01:09.590 --> 01:01:12.309 that can really get to, like, that for me is 01:01:12.309 --> 01:01:15.610 going to be Wardley Dubois. Or Zerto Benavidez. 01:01:16.190 --> 01:01:18.630 I don't know. I think it's going to. That's like 01:01:18.630 --> 01:01:21.469 a whole, like, my take is on Benavidez being 01:01:21.469 --> 01:01:27.449 pretty firm. We'll see. But we'll see. But, like, 01:01:27.469 --> 01:01:29.670 in terms of, like, things I expect to be close 01:01:29.670 --> 01:01:32.539 to that action. But even then, Wardley Dubois 01:01:32.539 --> 01:01:35.260 is not going to be skilled like Lopez Villegas 01:01:35.260 --> 01:01:38.760 was. Oh, yeah, that's just bombs. Yeah, but that's 01:01:38.760 --> 01:01:44.440 pure gangbusters. All right, let me put in a 01:01:44.440 --> 01:01:46.920 few more notes before we get to the previews. 01:01:48.139 --> 01:01:50.440 If you would like to hear the type of stuff that 01:01:50.440 --> 01:01:54.000 we talk about before the show starts, lvx .be 01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:57.300 slash Patreon.

Is there anything worse than 01:02:23.769 --> 01:02:25.750 that nagging suspicion that you clicked on the 01:02:25.750 --> 01:02:28.429 wrong thing?

Good security shouldn't 01:02:39.489 --> 01:02:41.630 be complicated and it definitely shouldn't slow 01:02:41.630 --> 01:02:43.949 you down.

We owe those simple pleasures to the 01:03:49.809 --> 01:03:52.750 hardest workers on the planet, honeybees. But 01:03:52.750 --> 01:03:54.969 right now, bees are facing unprecedented challenges 01:03:54.969 --> 01:03:57.510 from habitat loss and climate change, and they 01:03:57.510 --> 01:04:01.090 need our help to keep working. That's why we 01:04:01.090 --> 01:04:04.070 partnered with Project Honeybees. They aren't 01:04:04.070 --> 01:04:06.050 just a conservation group, they're a community 01:04:06.050 --> 01:04:09.510 dedicated to restoring hive populations and connecting 01:04:09.510 --> 01:04:12.389 us with the hives they save.

We have... 01:05:22.619 --> 01:05:26.440 There's not a whole lot going on here. Pat Brown. 01:05:26.980 --> 01:05:29.960 A 10 -round cruiserweight fight versus Vasil 01:05:29.960 --> 01:05:35.400 Dukar. Pat Brown was an Olympian, I think. So, 01:05:35.420 --> 01:05:43.019 Team GB doing what they do. Boxer. At the Cardiff 01:05:43.019 --> 01:05:47.159 International Arena in Wales, not a whole lot 01:05:47.159 --> 01:05:52.360 doing here either. Lauren Price, the IBF, WBA, 01:05:52.519 --> 01:05:56.639 WBC welterweight champion, is facing Stephanie 01:05:56.639 --> 01:06:03.239 Aquino. So isn't that nice? Queensberry at the 01:06:03.239 --> 01:06:07.900 O2 Arena in London. I'm going to go from the 01:06:07.900 --> 01:06:14.000 bottom up. As of today, Ashton Silva, still TBA. 01:06:14.460 --> 01:06:17.460 That might change by the time you hear this. 01:06:18.039 --> 01:06:22.460 Moving up, moving up. Interim WBO middleweight 01:06:22.460 --> 01:06:26.179 title, Denzel Bentley versus Andre Saavedra. 01:06:26.940 --> 01:06:31.840 In the co -main, Vidal Riley versus Matus Musternak. 01:06:32.380 --> 01:06:37.800 And main event, Deontay Wilder versus Derek Chisora. 01:06:37.960 --> 01:06:42.920 They're calling this 100. This is both of their 01:06:42.920 --> 01:06:48.559 50th fights. So that's pretty cool. Let me say 01:06:48.559 --> 01:06:54.000 the Vidal Riley Matus Masternack one that the 01:06:54.000 --> 01:06:56.039 winner of this fight might end up being elevated 01:06:56.039 --> 01:07:00.599 to the IBF world title now that it is... Now 01:07:00.599 --> 01:07:05.519 that Jai Okataya is... This might be... Because 01:07:05.519 --> 01:07:09.780 this is... The IBF was making this one the eliminator 01:07:09.780 --> 01:07:14.219 for Jai. Might be the manager, the vacant. It's 01:07:14.219 --> 01:07:18.300 the interim now, and now they might elevate that 01:07:18.300 --> 01:07:23.099 interim to full titleist. So, congratulations, 01:07:23.659 --> 01:07:28.539 Vidal Riley. Hilarious career, by the way, because 01:07:28.539 --> 01:07:31.199 he started his career by training professionally. 01:07:32.119 --> 01:07:34.219 He had a good amateur career, but he started 01:07:34.219 --> 01:07:38.780 with training KSI. Really? Yeah, he was KSI's 01:07:38.780 --> 01:07:41.440 trainer for the Logan Paul fights. All right. 01:07:42.239 --> 01:07:47.079 Well. Fun fact. Well, Deontay Wilder versus Derek 01:07:47.079 --> 01:07:54.340 Chisora. What are we thinking? Personally, I 01:07:54.340 --> 01:07:57.280 will be goddamned before I'm going to cheer for 01:07:57.280 --> 01:08:00.519 a Brit over a red, white, and blue American. 01:08:01.920 --> 01:08:04.559 But at the same time, I don't actually believe 01:08:04.559 --> 01:08:08.039 he's going to win, to be honest. I'm riding with 01:08:08.039 --> 01:08:13.610 Wilder. I'm going down with the ship, but I really 01:08:13.610 --> 01:08:17.949 think Chizora is... As the funny adage goes, 01:08:18.329 --> 01:08:23.850 Chizora has more experience being washed. Yeah. 01:08:25.890 --> 01:08:28.930 Listen, I think it'd be really funny and in character 01:08:28.930 --> 01:08:31.689 if Chizora was up on all the cards and putting 01:08:31.689 --> 01:08:34.229 the pasting on Wilder and Wilder just memed him 01:08:34.229 --> 01:08:38.920 in, like, round 11. That would be perfect. And 01:08:38.920 --> 01:08:42.539 they both retire after the fight. There's been 01:08:42.539 --> 01:08:47.159 talk that Chizora has been saying, if he wins, 01:08:47.359 --> 01:08:50.119 that he's not going to retire. He's been saying 01:08:50.119 --> 01:08:55.180 one more fight for years. I remember when Kubrat 01:08:55.180 --> 01:08:57.340 Pulev, like the Pulev fight, was supposed to 01:08:57.340 --> 01:09:02.189 be his last fight at the O2. And then he fought 01:09:02.189 --> 01:09:05.430 twice. He's fighting... Counting Wilder, it's 01:09:05.430 --> 01:09:07.789 three more times at the O2 after his last fight 01:09:07.789 --> 01:09:15.449 at the O2. Perfect. Of course. Like, it's always 01:09:15.449 --> 01:09:17.069 one more fight. I've been hearing retirement 01:09:17.069 --> 01:09:21.890 talks since, like, Caballel beat him. And that 01:09:21.890 --> 01:09:26.229 was in 2017. And we're nine years on. Go on, 01:09:26.250 --> 01:09:29.470 my son. Go on my son, exactly. That being said, 01:09:29.630 --> 01:09:36.489 Wilder and Eighth. Wilder and Eighth. Wilder 01:09:36.489 --> 01:09:39.329 and Eighth. For the culture, Wilder and Eighth. 01:09:39.369 --> 01:09:44.369 All right, I'm going for it. Last thing on Saturday, 01:09:44.529 --> 01:09:51.750 April 4th, PBC on Prime in Wollongong, Australia. 01:09:52.829 --> 01:09:55.109 I almost said New Zealand there. It's New South 01:09:55.109 --> 01:09:59.300 Wales. Pardon me. What do we got on the card 01:09:59.300 --> 01:10:02.800 here? In the co -main, Sam Goodman over Who Gives 01:10:02.800 --> 01:10:13.579 a Shit. And we got Tim Zhu facing Dennis Nuria. 01:10:14.220 --> 01:10:21.260 So, isn't that nice? Let's roll on Sunday, April 01:10:21.260 --> 01:10:30.210 5th. First thing. MVP on ESPN Plus in London. 01:10:31.829 --> 01:10:37.930 It's MVPW making, I think this is their second 01:10:37.930 --> 01:10:45.010 card. But they've got, as MVP tends to do, a 01:10:45.010 --> 01:10:48.109 lot of the ladies on here. Chantel Cameron versus 01:10:48.109 --> 01:10:54.369 Mikaela Kotaskova for the vacant WBO super welterweight 01:10:54.369 --> 01:11:00.340 title. Who else we got here? Irma Garcia, the 01:11:00.340 --> 01:11:03.819 IBF super flyweight champ versus Emma Dolan, 01:11:03.880 --> 01:11:08.739 the number one contender. Ellie Scottney, the 01:11:08.739 --> 01:11:17.020 IBF WBC, WBO super bantamweight champ, is going 01:11:17.020 --> 01:11:22.300 undisputed with Mayeli Flores, the WBA champion. 01:11:22.960 --> 01:11:27.130 And in the main event, Caroline Dubois, And Terry 01:11:27.130 --> 01:11:32.010 Harper are unifying their WBC, WBO lightweight 01:11:32.010 --> 01:11:39.989 titles. So, a lot of hardware. Last thing we 01:11:39.989 --> 01:11:44.310 got on Sunday. I don't know the entire undercard 01:11:44.310 --> 01:11:50.149 yet, but Zufa Boxing 5. The three fights I do 01:11:50.149 --> 01:11:56.500 have. Crazy A. Azat Hovhanissian. versus Eduardo 01:11:56.500 --> 01:12:02.739 Baez, Mark Maxayo versus Fairgold McCrory, and 01:12:02.739 --> 01:12:08.579 Andres Cortez versus Erickson Garcia in the main 01:12:08.579 --> 01:12:13.720 event. This sucks. This sucks. You can be honest. 01:12:13.920 --> 01:12:20.380 This sucks. Crazy A and Mark Maxayo, I like those 01:12:20.380 --> 01:12:24.289 guys, but yeah, this ain't it. These are not 01:12:24.289 --> 01:12:25.130 great fights. You can't support this. This is 01:12:25.130 --> 01:12:28.170 not the future of boxing, dude. It's not. No. 01:12:28.449 --> 01:12:32.989 Yeah, like, come on. It isn't. Good. But, yeah, 01:12:33.130 --> 01:12:41.590 that's Zufa. Well, with all of that, we are heading 01:12:41.590 --> 01:12:50.029 into Chizora, Wilder, and Tim Zoo weekend. Parting 01:12:50.029 --> 01:12:54.909 words. It's going to be an interesting weekend. 01:12:54.989 --> 01:12:58.770 Hopefully, Deontay Wilder wins. I need Wilder 01:12:58.770 --> 01:13:03.390 to pull this out, dude. One last time. We cannot 01:13:03.390 --> 01:13:08.329 have Derek Chisora kicking in 2026, entering 01:13:08.329 --> 01:13:14.449 2027. He needs to go home. Go on, my son. Go 01:13:14.449 --> 01:13:22.189 on, my son. So I've been... I came across this 01:13:22.189 --> 01:13:27.750 post on threads. It was like a, one of those 01:13:27.750 --> 01:13:31.430 like smart ass types of posts. Where's the go? 01:13:31.510 --> 01:13:36.789 What battle did Napoleon Diane? The answer, his 01:13:36.789 --> 01:13:40.369 last one, like his last one. Yeah. Yeah. That 01:13:40.369 --> 01:13:43.579 type of. bullshit you know what i mean so i went 01:13:43.579 --> 01:13:47.939 on bullshit that's based as fuck i went on a 01:13:47.939 --> 01:13:51.180 little bit of a tirade in response to that like 01:13:51.180 --> 01:13:55.279 why do we park on driveways but drive on parkways 01:13:55.279 --> 01:14:01.319 that type of nonsense so um i asked last time 01:14:01.319 --> 01:14:05.140 about number two pencils and why are they still 01:14:05.140 --> 01:14:08.079 number two if they're the most used one of my 01:14:08.079 --> 01:14:13.720 favorite ones Do Roman paramedics refer to IVs 01:14:13.720 --> 01:14:23.060 as fours? Oh, Jesus. Jesus Christ. It gets worse 01:14:23.060 --> 01:14:28.800 every week. I like it. I like it. It's nice. 01:14:31.199 --> 01:14:37.729 Me and dad jokes. It's like cats going into boxes. 01:14:37.829 --> 01:14:45.010 It's just what we do. Well, on that one, that 01:14:45.010 --> 01:14:50.710 is it for this edition of the Boxing B -Sides. 01:14:50.750 --> 01:14:53.369 Holy shit, we will see you on the other side 01:14:53.369 --> 01:14:58.189 of Chisora and Wilder. Yay.
