WEBVTT

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

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

00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:11.279
Back. Back. Back. Before. Before. Before. Before.

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

00:00:15.019 --> 00:00:27.519
is Boxing Before Dark. Time. All right. Boxing

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:32.460
Before Dark. Floor beer edition. Shanada, we

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:39.039
are drinking. Yes, I got home super late. So

00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.039
late, I forgot to put the beer in the fridge

00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:46.600
that I bought on my walk home. Floor beers. I

00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:50.159
also have a floor beer. At the fucking bar last

00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:54.060
night, I was trying to order a Sapporo, and the

00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:57.380
lady... didn't understand my English pronunciation

00:00:57.380 --> 00:01:03.420
of Sapporo. So I ended up with an Asahi. Because

00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:06.939
she understood Asahi, but not Sapporo. I'm like,

00:01:07.019 --> 00:01:13.379
I say them both badly. Maybe she just wanted

00:01:13.379 --> 00:01:15.340
to give you the one that had ass in the name.

00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:22.200
Maybe. I don't know. This happens a lot. I have

00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.879
to order beer by the brand name because they

00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:28.620
don't understand when I say beer. Which drives

00:01:28.620 --> 00:01:30.980
me fucking insane because that's also the word

00:01:30.980 --> 00:01:36.700
they use. Beer? Yeah, but when I try that, they

00:01:36.700 --> 00:01:40.079
look at me like I'm crazy. I don't hold the right

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:46.780
number of counts or something. Stupid. Bitches.

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:54.560
Well, speaking of bitches, Edgar Berlanga lands

00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:59.859
a one -year Zufa contract worth eight figures.

00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:08.020
That's ten mil or more. Like I've said before,

00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:12.039
I hope these guys bleed Zufa dry. Berlanga is

00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.340
not worth ten million dollars. No, he most certainly

00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:23.020
is not. This is fucking atrocious. Who the fuck

00:02:23.020 --> 00:02:28.000
pays $10 million for Berlanga? Well, if Connor

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.960
Ben at 15 is the standard, I guess Berlanga's

00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:36.719
worth $10 million. Yeah, I suppose. But yeah,

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:41.680
this is crazy. And he fights at a division that

00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:46.439
Zufa doesn't acknowledge. They will now. You

00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:48.960
think so? You think they're gonna... They're

00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:51.599
gonna do what they did with Jai. Just make an

00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:57.159
exception for... A name? 100%. Out of convenience.

00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.860
Well, and isn't the Ben fight at a catchweight

00:03:02.860 --> 00:03:06.379
that nobody recognizes? Well, catchweights are

00:03:06.379 --> 00:03:10.180
not unheard of, even in UFC. They're not common

00:03:10.180 --> 00:03:14.979
over there, but still. Yeah, but we're not recognizing

00:03:14.979 --> 00:03:18.360
all of the standard weight classes, but we're

00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.699
going to do catchweights. Right. Yeah, like if

00:03:21.699 --> 00:03:23.759
you didn't, you wouldn't have to do a catchweight

00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.960
if you had acknowledged one of the in -between

00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:31.599
weights from middle to vulture. It probably would

00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:34.039
be easier for Connor Bentu, your $15 million

00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:42.810
investment. Nah, the Zufa... rules that they

00:03:42.810 --> 00:03:46.110
made for themselves don't mean shit. Clearly.

00:03:48.830 --> 00:03:52.949
Because doesn't somebody with Zufa have an IVF

00:03:52.949 --> 00:03:57.210
belt fight coming up? Richardson Hitchens. Yeah.

00:03:57.710 --> 00:04:01.650
And I noticed it's not for the Zufa belt. Well,

00:04:01.789 --> 00:04:07.110
yeah, there's no Zufa weight division. Oh, is

00:04:07.110 --> 00:04:09.110
that the excuse they're using? Because I'm pretty

00:04:09.110 --> 00:04:11.750
sure it's just because Hitchens wouldn't fight

00:04:11.750 --> 00:04:13.930
for Azufa Bell because he'll get stripped by

00:04:13.930 --> 00:04:19.769
the IDF. This was something I had mentioned.

00:04:19.850 --> 00:04:24.910
It was more of a joke, but with top rank, and

00:04:24.910 --> 00:04:27.430
now we'll talk about in a second, Goldenboy going

00:04:27.430 --> 00:04:33.310
back to DAZN, they should each have a title,

00:04:33.470 --> 00:04:37.350
a sanctioning body assigned to them. and your

00:04:37.350 --> 00:04:40.689
guys fight for this title, and then at the end

00:04:40.689 --> 00:04:44.329
of the year, just at some determined time, the

00:04:44.329 --> 00:04:49.990
titleists all face each other. I mean, that would

00:04:49.990 --> 00:04:53.069
be kind of cool, and it's kind of how it already

00:04:53.069 --> 00:04:57.050
works. I mean, not officially, but... Yeah, like

00:04:57.050 --> 00:05:01.350
certain orgs... Like, Eddie Hearn loves the IBF.

00:05:02.649 --> 00:05:10.019
PBC typically works with WBC. Queensberry's kind

00:05:10.019 --> 00:05:13.339
of all over the place, aren't they? Mostly WBO,

00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:19.379
but not exclusively, like top rank is. But why

00:05:19.379 --> 00:05:28.879
not give the Zufa the IBF? Why not just let Zufa

00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.720
go play in the corner by themselves? That would

00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.600
be the ideal outcome, I think. Have Berlanga

00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:40.069
and Berlanga -esque. Fighters go over there,

00:05:40.149 --> 00:05:44.250
take a 10 mil contract for one, two, maybe three

00:05:44.250 --> 00:05:48.670
fights. And bounce. Berlanga's not fighting three

00:05:48.670 --> 00:05:50.610
times in one year. Certainly not. No fucking

00:05:50.610 --> 00:05:54.670
way. No, but a little more like a younger fighter

00:05:54.670 --> 00:06:02.110
could. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of young fighters,

00:06:02.389 --> 00:06:07.189
Golden Boy has returned home. And we'll be back

00:06:07.189 --> 00:06:10.610
on DAZN. It's a multi -year deal. I haven't seen

00:06:10.610 --> 00:06:14.290
the specifics of the annual budget like they

00:06:14.290 --> 00:06:20.410
did with Top Rank. But Goldenboy's back. I think

00:06:20.410 --> 00:06:22.769
I've said it before. I'm kind of excited everybody's

00:06:22.769 --> 00:06:28.050
on the same broadcast system. I think it's one

00:06:28.050 --> 00:06:32.670
less sticking point for cross -promotion. It

00:06:32.670 --> 00:06:35.149
is something that we've talked about before where...

00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:41.879
It's not necessarily DAZN that we want everyone

00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.519
to be on. It's just we want them to be in one

00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:47.819
place. Together, yeah. This could be on Amazon

00:06:47.819 --> 00:06:50.860
Prime. It could be on fucking ESPN. I really

00:06:50.860 --> 00:06:56.360
don't care. But this makes DAZN Ultimate a lot

00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:01.540
more appealing. So, did you hear about DAZN Ultimate

00:07:01.540 --> 00:07:04.279
in Canada? No. Because I hadn't heard about this.

00:07:04.379 --> 00:07:06.160
Yeah, you don't get the pay -per -views. What

00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.620
the fuck? What's the point? Yeah, you get, like,

00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:14.339
the higher resolution and some bullshit. But

00:07:14.339 --> 00:07:17.860
yeah, I saw a very angry post, rightfully so.

00:07:18.339 --> 00:07:20.480
And the guy's like, I paid for DAZN Ultimate,

00:07:20.620 --> 00:07:24.279
and I didn't find out there was no pay -per -views

00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.759
involved until after, like, the confirmation

00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:32.079
email came. Because... We get all the American

00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:36.379
commercials. So any commercials he saw said The

00:07:36.379 --> 00:07:38.399
Zone Ultimate gets you all the pay -per -views.

00:07:38.420 --> 00:07:44.240
Yeah. I would go for that too. Especially now.

00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.860
Yeah, but I guess this was a couple weeks ago.

00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:52.920
But that's... I haven't heard any different since

00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:55.600
then. That's really stupid. That is so stupid.

00:07:55.600 --> 00:08:00.420
It's fucking crazy. Yeah. So if you're thinking

00:08:00.420 --> 00:08:03.500
about DAZN Ultimate, make sure in your area...

00:08:03.500 --> 00:08:07.040
You get the pay -per -views. Yeah, it's actually

00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.220
worth it. It's actually Ultimate. That's sleazy

00:08:11.220 --> 00:08:17.040
as fuck. Because even on DAZN, I still get the

00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:19.959
American DAZN commercials on DAZN, even though

00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:22.480
I'm in Japan. Because I don't think the Ultimate

00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:24.980
thing's a thing here, because most of the pay

00:08:24.980 --> 00:08:28.199
-per -view fights... are not really pay -per

00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.120
-views here. Because they're at such weird times.

00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:32.960
Right, yeah, you're not going to charge somebody

00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:37.159
$75 to watch some shit at like 3 in the morning.

00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:42.620
Yeah, they're usually like $30, $35 here. Not

00:08:42.620 --> 00:08:45.740
bad. And, I mean, I'm a degenerate, so I wake

00:08:45.740 --> 00:08:49.600
up at 2 a .m. to watch them, but, you know. Would

00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:54.570
we be here if you weren't a degenerate? No. I

00:08:54.570 --> 00:08:56.830
probably wouldn't be here if I wasn't the resident

00:08:56.830 --> 00:09:02.990
midget expert either. Aficionado? Yeah. Aficionado.

00:09:03.070 --> 00:09:09.610
Excuse me. Holy shit. Aficionado. Look at that.

00:09:10.110 --> 00:09:15.070
That works. Moving on. Dimitri Beeble versus

00:09:15.070 --> 00:09:17.289
Michael Eifert. It's now going to be headlining

00:09:17.289 --> 00:09:21.809
its own card. It's going to be in Russia. It's

00:09:21.809 --> 00:09:28.309
not going to be on the... Giza card. So, just

00:09:28.309 --> 00:09:30.690
want to guarantee even fewer people watch it.

00:09:32.070 --> 00:09:36.929
I mean, that Giza card's just a fucking shitshow

00:09:36.929 --> 00:09:44.210
anyways. Yeah. But it would be nice to have real

00:09:44.210 --> 00:09:49.190
boxing on the shitshow card that the casuals

00:09:49.190 --> 00:09:54.450
are going to watch. Right. Even Jake Paul knew

00:09:54.450 --> 00:09:59.330
to put real fights on his co -mains and stuff.

00:10:00.750 --> 00:10:05.730
Yeah. Like, that... I get the point is money.

00:10:05.830 --> 00:10:09.370
The point is always money. But the point to me

00:10:09.370 --> 00:10:14.230
for boxing as a sport of these bullshit cards

00:10:14.230 --> 00:10:18.370
is to get casuals that'll show up for the circus

00:10:18.370 --> 00:10:21.720
and put a good fight in front of them. So they're

00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.539
like, oh, this boxing stuff's kind of cool. Yeah.

00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.720
You know? Yeah, I know. I know what you mean.

00:10:30.179 --> 00:10:34.779
So Beeble styling on Eifert, not going to happen.

00:10:34.779 --> 00:10:38.899
I mean, yeah. That's also probably not the best

00:10:38.899 --> 00:10:42.220
thing for casuals anyways. They need Pro Box

00:10:42.220 --> 00:10:49.190
matchups on these cars. Pro Box needs to... Everybody,

00:10:49.409 --> 00:10:52.809
like if there's going to be a UBO, it should

00:10:52.809 --> 00:10:55.769
be Pro Box. And everybody just falls under that

00:10:55.769 --> 00:10:59.710
umbrella. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The matchmakers at

00:10:59.710 --> 00:11:02.730
Pro Box are fucking golden. Whoever is doing

00:11:02.730 --> 00:11:06.149
the matchmaking needs a raise. They do not mess

00:11:06.149 --> 00:11:08.389
around with their matchmaking. It's fantastic.

00:11:10.769 --> 00:11:14.809
I don't know if this is fantastic. Matchroom

00:11:14.809 --> 00:11:19.360
extends its partnership. With Riyadh's season.

00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:22.080
I don't feel that good about it. I have to say,

00:11:22.179 --> 00:11:25.799
this kind of surprised me a little. It didn't

00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:28.639
seem like Turkey was really fucking with Matchroom

00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.559
anymore. It doesn't seem like Turkey's fucking

00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.340
with anyone but TKO at this point. Yeah, like...

00:11:35.340 --> 00:11:39.440
I mean, I guess bleed the Saudis for what they're

00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.960
worth, but... I don't know. I'm kind of indifferent

00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:50.519
to this one. But matchroom extends with the Saudis.

00:11:51.779 --> 00:11:56.779
I've also seen Oscar De La Hoya is trying to

00:11:56.779 --> 00:12:01.000
get back into the Saudis' good graces. Oscar

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.179
needs money. Yeah, I was going to say it makes

00:12:03.179 --> 00:12:09.620
perfect sense because he is short on cash. So

00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:12.399
what do you expect? What are you going to do?

00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.340
Fabio Wardley, Daniel Dubois undercard has been

00:12:18.340 --> 00:12:20.679
announced. I'm just going to go down the list.

00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:24.179
Obviously, Wardley Dubois at the top. Jack Rafferty

00:12:24.179 --> 00:12:28.220
versus Ekow Esumen. Jared Anderson versus Solomon

00:12:28.220 --> 00:12:33.440
Dakers. When did Jared last fight? It's been

00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:35.600
a minute, right? I think when he lost to Bacoli.

00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:40.980
Wait, nope. He fought in February of 25 against

00:12:40.980 --> 00:12:50.220
a Mario's. What card was that? Okay, so he knocked

00:12:50.220 --> 00:12:53.600
over a can a year ago. That's a big layoff for

00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.299
a young guy. Yeah, well, I think the Bacoli loss

00:12:57.299 --> 00:13:01.399
really fucked with his mental. Yeah, Anderson

00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.340
doesn't seem super locked in on boxing mentally.

00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:08.940
He had been saying for the longest time he planned

00:13:08.940 --> 00:13:13.860
to retire at the earliest 25, at the latest 30.

00:13:15.690 --> 00:13:18.129
Yeah, if you're already thinking about retirement,

00:13:18.330 --> 00:13:23.070
it's not a good sign. You know, like if you're

00:13:23.070 --> 00:13:28.470
planning retirement in your early 20s, that's,

00:13:28.470 --> 00:13:34.929
yeah, you don't care so much about boxing. Liam

00:13:34.929 --> 00:13:38.970
Cameron vs. Bradley Rhea and Khalil Majeed vs.

00:13:39.350 --> 00:13:46.799
Gavin Gwynn. Why do I know Gavin Gwynn? He got

00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:51.899
a draw with Cameron Vuong. One of our... Ah,

00:13:51.980 --> 00:13:55.379
that's why I know Gavin Gwynn. He lost to Mark

00:13:55.379 --> 00:14:04.039
Chamberlain in Saudi Arabia. That was on the

00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:11.559
Nick Ball Ray Vargas card. That was a while ago.

00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:21.629
Six feet. At 140. Nah, that's not terrible. I

00:14:21.629 --> 00:14:24.850
mean, that's a solid undercard, I guess. Yeah,

00:14:24.889 --> 00:14:30.169
it's good for being, like, in the UK. It's nice.

00:14:30.350 --> 00:14:32.769
It's a nice card. Yeah, a bunch of those guys,

00:14:32.850 --> 00:14:35.830
I assume, are kind of... They must have followings

00:14:35.830 --> 00:14:40.350
in the UK more than they deserve. Because it's

00:14:40.350 --> 00:14:48.700
UK boxing. Lin in shambles. Now, speaking of

00:14:48.700 --> 00:14:54.440
shambles, JCC Jr. is going to be fighting John

00:14:54.440 --> 00:15:07.059
Casero in Mexico on April 25th. Why? Right. I

00:15:07.059 --> 00:15:13.120
think things should be prefaced always with Other

00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:19.120
than money, why? Yeah, I mean, but, like, nobody

00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:25.000
wants to see JCC Jr. anymore. I can't even imagine

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:28.340
he has that many fans in Mexico anymore. No,

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:33.120
not after proving himself to be a shitter. Yeah,

00:15:33.139 --> 00:15:38.580
like, who is excited for a JCC Jr. fight? You

00:15:38.580 --> 00:15:40.320
buy a ticket because you might get to meet his

00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:46.240
dad? You could go to any major promotion and

00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:49.639
you can meet his dad. He's always doing Spanish

00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:54.600
commentary. Yeah. I don't know why you buy a

00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:59.940
ticket to see Junior. I don't either. Maybe you

00:15:59.940 --> 00:16:05.340
want to throw beer or pizza at him? Fair. Man,

00:16:06.899 --> 00:16:09.639
Senior really is a fucking man of the people.

00:16:09.820 --> 00:16:14.779
He'll be... He will stay after like all the fights

00:16:14.779 --> 00:16:17.259
are over and he will take a picture and stop

00:16:17.259 --> 00:16:20.320
and talk with fucking everyone. Every single

00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:22.820
person that wants to talk to him. If you want

00:16:22.820 --> 00:16:26.059
a picture with him, you will get one. That's

00:16:26.059 --> 00:16:29.159
excellent. I love when any athlete is like that.

00:16:29.340 --> 00:16:34.679
Yeah. Yeah, he's for like for the little bit

00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:38.240
that I've spoken to them or at least been present

00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:41.220
while he was just taking questions at random.

00:16:41.769 --> 00:16:45.429
He's a really good guy. It's really changed a

00:16:45.429 --> 00:16:48.250
lot from his heyday when he was kind of like

00:16:48.250 --> 00:16:51.090
Pacquiao was, like a bit of a womanizer and a

00:16:51.090 --> 00:16:57.429
coke fiend. Ah. I mean, that kind of comes with

00:16:57.429 --> 00:17:01.649
the money sometimes. Yeah. Delahoya, no different.

00:17:04.329 --> 00:17:10.440
Delahoya is still a coke fiend. Yeah, well. Well,

00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:13.420
we had mentioned Probox. Probox good. They did

00:17:13.420 --> 00:17:16.299
not win this purse bid. Angelo Leo versus Raees

00:17:16.299 --> 00:17:22.880
Alim. It's happening in Atlanta on May 9th. Who's...

00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:30.099
I should know who Raees Alim is. No idea, to

00:17:30.099 --> 00:17:32.759
be honest with you. Okay, so maybe I shouldn't

00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:43.640
know. Let's see. The Beast. He's got the fake

00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:47.720
scars cut in his eyebrow in his picture. I fucking

00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:51.880
hate those. I've seen the fake scars. That was

00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.339
a thing when I was in high school. When I first

00:17:54.339 --> 00:17:57.779
got to high school, the older boys liked doing

00:17:57.779 --> 00:18:01.599
that. They would put one like you got in a fight

00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:04.680
or something and it got cut. So stupid. This

00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:11.569
is just like a pattern carved in. I do recognize

00:18:11.569 --> 00:18:17.390
him though. Who have I seen you fight? I'll be

00:18:17.390 --> 00:18:23.029
backing Leo because I like Leo. His only loss

00:18:23.029 --> 00:18:29.430
was to Sam Goodman. Not a terrible loss. Not

00:18:29.430 --> 00:18:35.829
awful. He did get one card 8 -4. The other two

00:18:35.829 --> 00:18:44.140
were 8 -4 and 9 -3. For Goodman. In Australia.

00:18:44.539 --> 00:18:55.299
Yes. Only one of the. One of the judges that.

00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:58.500
The judge that gave the 9 to 3. Is Australian.

00:18:59.220 --> 00:19:04.960
The 8 to 4 Goodman was American. And then. The

00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:10.440
Aleem card. Was Japanese judge. I don't know

00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:13.160
if we've mentioned this, but the Japanese cards,

00:19:13.380 --> 00:19:17.400
honestly, on a whole, like stereotyping, I would

00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:21.579
say are pretty fair. When they're outside of

00:19:21.579 --> 00:19:25.440
Japan. I think. Even in Japan, you don't get

00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:30.019
that many robberies. You have the odd fighter

00:19:30.019 --> 00:19:33.180
that obviously the boxing commission doesn't

00:19:33.180 --> 00:19:36.019
like, but even the cards for those fighters aren't

00:19:36.019 --> 00:19:43.500
terrible. Yeah, so it'll seem like any close

00:19:43.500 --> 00:19:47.200
rounds just go to the other guy instead. Yeah.

00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:50.480
But I mean, they're not like out -and -out robberies

00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:54.359
like you sometimes get. Or I don't feel like

00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:58.059
I've seen very many robberies. Bullshit, but

00:19:58.059 --> 00:20:03.480
not robberies. Yes, like some fucky scores, but

00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:09.319
not... It's like a Canelo... 10 -2 against Golovkin.

00:20:10.099 --> 00:20:15.160
Yeah. You could have went 7 -5 and nobody would

00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:20.819
have complained. She's such an idiot. Yeah. But

00:20:20.819 --> 00:20:26.799
Angelo Leo, we share a name, so naturally I'm

00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:29.720
on his team. He also seems like a cool dude.

00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:34.180
He's fucking fun as fuck to watch. So I'm here

00:20:34.180 --> 00:20:40.119
for it. Is he still with the Kamedas? I don't

00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:45.079
know. I thought he was with Probox. No, he signed

00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:53.680
with the Kamedas. Weird. Weird choice. Angelo.

00:20:54.059 --> 00:20:58.059
Am I making shit up? No, you're right. He's with

00:20:58.059 --> 00:21:00.079
Probox. Why did I think he was with the Kamedas?

00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:05.829
I just hate them so much. Anyone who fights in

00:21:05.829 --> 00:21:08.470
Japan that I like, I assume signed with him.

00:21:11.230 --> 00:21:16.150
Nope. I just completely made that up. You know

00:21:16.150 --> 00:21:19.690
what's not made up? Jaron Ennis and Xander Zayas

00:21:19.690 --> 00:21:24.990
in June. At the end of June in Brooklyn. It's

00:21:24.990 --> 00:21:29.349
signed. It's done. Yep. Excellent. That's the

00:21:29.349 --> 00:21:35.549
day before my birthday, actually. Oh, wow. Nice

00:21:35.549 --> 00:21:38.910
birthday present. It'll be my birthday in Japan.

00:21:40.369 --> 00:21:47.609
Counts. Xander Zayas not fucking around. Yeah.

00:21:47.910 --> 00:21:50.529
You gotta respect it. He went for all the smoke.

00:21:51.009 --> 00:21:58.269
But I don't see how Zayas wins that one. If he

00:21:58.269 --> 00:22:03.569
does, I might have to stop talking shit if he

00:22:03.569 --> 00:22:08.109
wins. I've already decided. I've clowned on him

00:22:08.109 --> 00:22:12.250
enough. Like, this move right here is like the

00:22:12.250 --> 00:22:15.890
signal. This boy is not fucking around. Yeah,

00:22:15.950 --> 00:22:21.289
but he went full greaseball, Leo. Full greaseball.

00:22:22.309 --> 00:22:26.349
His walkout at his last fight. The greased hair.

00:22:26.650 --> 00:22:31.369
The greasy, like... Goatee. Goatee. Yeah. It's

00:22:31.369 --> 00:22:36.240
not a good look. He looks like such a fuckboy.

00:22:38.420 --> 00:22:41.920
The question I've been posing in Discord has

00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:48.859
been if, just in the minute possibility that

00:22:48.859 --> 00:22:52.799
Xander Zayas wins, does Boots recover? Can he

00:22:52.799 --> 00:23:00.400
recover from losing to Xander? I think if Xander

00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:06.420
beats Boots, his stock goes way up. And it becomes...

00:23:06.420 --> 00:23:09.039
Well, it depends on how Boots looks, I guess.

00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:15.079
But I assume Boots Ennis will look like Boots

00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:19.180
Ennis. And if Xander manages to beat that, I

00:23:19.180 --> 00:23:24.079
think Xander's stocks go way higher. And he's

00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:27.619
a unified champion, right? Yes. Xander Zayas?

00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:32.000
So losing to a unified champion, I don't think

00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:35.819
very often can lower your stocks that much. I

00:23:35.819 --> 00:23:39.539
think Ennis would be fine. He'd have a short

00:23:39.539 --> 00:23:43.140
rebuild, but I don't think it would tank his

00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:46.299
career or anything. People would just have to

00:23:46.299 --> 00:23:50.140
acknowledge that Xander Zayas is better than

00:23:50.140 --> 00:23:53.519
they thought he was. I was thinking that people

00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:56.880
would have to acknowledge that Boots is human

00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:00.809
and he's not the... heir apparent to like Floyd

00:24:00.809 --> 00:24:04.029
Mayweather, Terrence Crawford. Yeah, that would

00:24:04.029 --> 00:24:06.849
also happen. But like, I don't think that tanks

00:24:06.849 --> 00:24:09.569
your career being human. I don't think so either.

00:24:10.930 --> 00:24:14.410
Like you asked if he could recover. I think he

00:24:14.410 --> 00:24:16.690
could recover from losing to a unified champion.

00:24:17.849 --> 00:24:23.250
Fair point. But yeah, it would, it would lower

00:24:23.250 --> 00:24:27.000
his stocks. But I don't think it's going to tank

00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:31.180
them. It's just like, he's a very good fighter

00:24:31.180 --> 00:24:35.160
that, you know, lost once. I don't think one

00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:37.440
loss is that bad, especially if you're losing

00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:42.980
to champions. Yeah, I agree. I think what I'm

00:24:42.980 --> 00:24:46.220
hoping to gauge when I ask this question is like,

00:24:46.259 --> 00:24:51.119
are we done with the undefeated bullshit? Can

00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:54.650
we stop with that? I mean, I've been done with

00:24:54.650 --> 00:24:57.130
that bullshit for a long time. I never liked

00:24:57.130 --> 00:25:00.349
that idea. I don't either. Personally, I think

00:25:00.349 --> 00:25:04.130
if you are undefeated your entire career, depending,

00:25:04.329 --> 00:25:07.269
but if you're undefeated your entire career,

00:25:07.369 --> 00:25:11.230
you didn't challenge yourself enough. Yeah. The

00:25:11.230 --> 00:25:15.210
only, like, people act like Floyd Mayweather

00:25:15.210 --> 00:25:20.250
is the rule, not the exception. Yeah, well, and...

00:25:22.859 --> 00:25:24.880
I like talking shit about Floyd. I was going

00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:26.420
to say I don't want to talk shit about Floyd.

00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:29.200
But I love talking shit about Floyd. But there

00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:35.579
were challenges that he didn't take. True. You

00:25:35.579 --> 00:25:38.720
can nitpick his career if you wanted to. Yeah.

00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:46.460
And, like, I have to say, like, now he's on the,

00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:50.380
like, retirement tour. But Usyk challenged himself.

00:25:51.690 --> 00:25:55.089
True that. I don't think anyone can say Usyk

00:25:55.089 --> 00:25:57.170
didn't take a lot of challenges in his career,

00:25:57.289 --> 00:26:01.390
and he's still undefeated. I think... I mean,

00:26:01.490 --> 00:26:04.210
Floyd took challenges he thought he could beat.

00:26:05.470 --> 00:26:09.269
But... Calculated risks, not... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:26:09.589 --> 00:26:12.849
Floyd was, in the last half of his career, was

00:26:12.849 --> 00:26:16.880
Money Mayweather. And that's not... Like, I am

00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:19.839
all for pretty boy Floyd, but Money Mayweather

00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:24.339
fucking annoyed the shit out of me. I think a

00:26:24.339 --> 00:26:27.319
good example of challenging yourself and losing

00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:34.559
and still being held up as a good fighter is

00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:37.799
Lomachenko. Challenged himself plenty of times

00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:41.839
and he came up short a few times. Whatever. He's

00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:46.259
still fucking incredible. Yeah, like, I don't

00:26:46.259 --> 00:26:50.180
know. I know the zero being super important was

00:26:50.180 --> 00:26:52.940
a huge thing to a lot of fans, but it never really

00:26:52.940 --> 00:26:57.059
meant much to me. But I don't generally cheer

00:26:57.059 --> 00:26:59.759
for people because of their skills so much. I

00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:05.119
cheer for boxers that seem like fun guys. So

00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:13.220
I'm not the standard. Yeah, I think... Yeah,

00:27:13.220 --> 00:27:16.059
I was just trying to gauge how the guys in Discord

00:27:16.059 --> 00:27:22.039
would react to an Ennis loss. There have been

00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:24.039
some that would say he doesn't come back from

00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:26.920
it. Like, he can't come back. I think they're

00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:30.980
also down on Xander Zayas. Yeah, there's a lot

00:27:30.980 --> 00:27:34.380
of people very low on Zayas. But if he manages

00:27:34.380 --> 00:27:37.400
to beat Boots and Boots looks the way he usually

00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:40.619
does, I think you have to acknowledge Zayas.

00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:45.420
Yeah, I agree. And losing to a unified champion

00:27:45.420 --> 00:27:48.099
I don't think should tank your boxing career.

00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.559
That's crazy. Yeah, just have to acknowledge

00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:57.599
that Zaius is legit. Yeah, he's better than you

00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:03.079
thought he was. And that happens. Oh, well, better

00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:07.220
than we thought. Ginjiro Shigeoka has been released

00:28:07.220 --> 00:28:12.539
from the hospital. He's going home. Yeah. This

00:28:12.539 --> 00:28:18.519
is... This is good, obviously. But, uh... Jinjiro's

00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:25.039
not gonna have, uh... He's not going to suddenly

00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:32.460
get better. That's, uh... Like, he's... It makes

00:28:32.460 --> 00:28:36.000
me sad. He's gonna be in a chair, and it... I

00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:38.259
don't think he can really speak a whole bunch.

00:28:39.059 --> 00:28:42.970
And stuff. He's got a lot of physical therapy

00:28:42.970 --> 00:28:48.950
to go through. Yeah. Like, rehabilitation and

00:28:48.950 --> 00:28:53.029
stuff. But, like, did you see the post his brother

00:28:53.029 --> 00:28:56.789
put up? Was it the family picture? Yeah, but

00:28:56.789 --> 00:29:05.259
did you translate the... Okay. So... I just use

00:29:05.259 --> 00:29:08.599
Google Translate, and I think it's very literal

00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:14.980
and misses a lot of nuances, I know. But he sounded

00:29:14.980 --> 00:29:22.460
a little like he wasn't sure about this. He retired

00:29:22.460 --> 00:29:24.160
to look after his brother, and he's going to

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:25.759
look after his brother. I'm sure he's going to

00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:28.740
do a great job. But he was kind of talking about

00:29:28.740 --> 00:29:33.539
how the first day was hard. I see what you mean.

00:29:34.579 --> 00:29:37.160
Like, I think one of the things he mentioned

00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:40.099
was his having to help his brother go to the

00:29:40.099 --> 00:29:44.799
bathroom often. And, like, yeah, that's going

00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:47.140
to be a huge life change. I don't think I could

00:29:47.140 --> 00:29:50.839
take care of somebody that was that injured.

00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:55.220
Like, I am not a super good caregiver. So he

00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:57.799
was, like, he was happy his brother's home, but

00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:01.039
he's like, my life is going to get hard. the

00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:05.180
the caption was an apology for closing the cafe

00:30:05.180 --> 00:30:10.740
until further notice oh like until he gets in

00:30:10.740 --> 00:30:12.920
the swing of things he's like the cafe is closed

00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:15.220
it's going to be at least a week but it might

00:30:15.220 --> 00:30:20.099
be longer uh basically like i'll update you please

00:30:20.099 --> 00:30:24.779
come back i need my cafe to work yeah he didn't

00:30:24.779 --> 00:30:27.539
say it like that but that was kind of the the

00:30:27.539 --> 00:30:33.130
feeling i got from the caption Damn. It's gonna

00:30:33.130 --> 00:30:37.250
be tough. I can't imagine, like, how hard it

00:30:37.250 --> 00:30:42.829
is to see your brother that... Having to help

00:30:42.829 --> 00:30:46.190
him wipe his ass, pretty much. Yeah, well, and

00:30:46.190 --> 00:30:48.829
just, like, his brother was an athletic guy.

00:30:49.130 --> 00:30:52.970
Yeah. Right? Like, seeing the huge change, like,

00:30:53.130 --> 00:30:57.089
he can't go to the bathroom by himself, he, I

00:30:57.089 --> 00:30:59.509
assume, can't feed himself or anything, like...

00:31:00.109 --> 00:31:03.650
That's gotta be really hard. Yeah, I think so,

00:31:03.730 --> 00:31:09.089
too. I can't imagine, like, my brother's not

00:31:09.089 --> 00:31:12.690
an athlete, but he's a healthy kid. Kid. He's

00:31:12.690 --> 00:31:17.609
30. 30 -something. But, like, I can't imagine

00:31:17.609 --> 00:31:21.650
if I suddenly had to, like, take care of my brother

00:31:21.650 --> 00:31:26.150
like he was a child. You know? With, like, an

00:31:26.150 --> 00:31:30.500
elderly parent, you can kinda... It's a little

00:31:30.500 --> 00:31:32.640
different, because like you said, it's like a

00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:36.759
healthy person, and then just... They're not

00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:39.799
anymore. And they're suddenly not, right. And

00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:46.099
it's completely different from a baby or an elder.

00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:52.759
Those make sense. I hope Jinjiro, he's not going

00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:56.099
to get better, but I hope they get in a routine

00:31:56.099 --> 00:31:59.980
and everything works out. I think with proper

00:31:59.980 --> 00:32:04.359
care and the physical rehab, as we've mentioned,

00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:08.960
I think his condition can improve. Yeah. He's

00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:11.740
not going to get better, but he can improve,

00:32:11.980 --> 00:32:14.720
I think. I think he'll find some semblance of

00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:19.500
independence again. I think he can. I think that's

00:32:19.500 --> 00:32:22.920
pretty optimistic. I think Jinjiro has too much

00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:25.660
brain damage. I don't think he'll ever stand

00:32:25.660 --> 00:32:30.170
up again. Yikes. And, like, I don't think he

00:32:30.170 --> 00:32:33.549
can talk. They always say he communicates. I

00:32:33.549 --> 00:32:38.630
get the feeling he can't make sentences and stuff.

00:32:38.630 --> 00:32:41.509
I think he just writes a word on, like, a board

00:32:41.509 --> 00:32:44.930
or something, or says a single word. Yeah, I

00:32:44.930 --> 00:32:51.009
don't think he can write. Maybe, like, the touchpads,

00:32:51.190 --> 00:32:56.859
but... There's a lot of very good... equipment

00:32:56.859 --> 00:33:02.380
out to help people now to communicate like they

00:33:02.380 --> 00:33:06.119
have that eye tracking uh software now where

00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:10.980
they can like type by looking and stuff but they

00:33:10.980 --> 00:33:16.220
they haven't said too much about how uh bad his

00:33:16.220 --> 00:33:18.740
disabilities are but anytime they say communicate

00:33:18.740 --> 00:33:22.579
instead of talking i always assume it's really

00:33:22.579 --> 00:33:31.359
not good You don't play boxing. No, you do not.

00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:39.559
Anything more for the news? I would really like

00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:42.599
to have a non -bummer thing to talk about, but

00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:46.119
I don't think I have any more news. Let me just

00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:53.140
check really quick. On the front page of Boxing

00:33:53.140 --> 00:33:59.609
Scene, Thomas Taylor... Rises as the world's

00:33:59.609 --> 00:34:04.369
best referee. Difficult to disagree. Yeah, I

00:34:04.369 --> 00:34:08.869
like Thomas Taylor. I like Harvey Dock, too.

00:34:09.150 --> 00:34:12.090
I'm not sure why people got down on him all of

00:34:12.090 --> 00:34:14.389
a sudden. Well, not all of a sudden, but in the

00:34:14.389 --> 00:34:17.989
last year or two years, people have suddenly

00:34:17.989 --> 00:34:22.269
been down on Dock, and I don't know why. He had

00:34:22.269 --> 00:34:27.989
something weird he did. He had one questionable...

00:34:27.989 --> 00:34:31.550
When he... When Jermall Charlo fought Jose Benavidez,

00:34:31.590 --> 00:34:34.869
he did have a questionable performance then.

00:34:35.389 --> 00:34:38.750
I remember that, but I don't know what happened

00:34:38.750 --> 00:34:43.449
after that. He's the guy with the eyes, right?

00:34:43.550 --> 00:34:48.230
Harvey Darrell? No, that's Steve Willis. Ah.

00:34:48.510 --> 00:34:50.210
The guy that does the crab walk. Did I just do

00:34:50.210 --> 00:34:57.239
a racism? No. Steve Willis isn't bad. But I know

00:34:57.239 --> 00:34:59.420
that there have... I've talked to people that

00:34:59.420 --> 00:35:01.579
don't like him because of the way he... Like

00:35:01.579 --> 00:35:04.619
his facial expressions and stuff. They think

00:35:04.619 --> 00:35:07.920
that he's inserting himself into the fight by

00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:10.179
doing that. I think that's just the way he is.

00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:13.500
I think so too. He's reacting viscerally. Yeah,

00:35:13.500 --> 00:35:16.659
yeah, yeah. It's not him trying to put on a show.

00:35:17.980 --> 00:35:21.860
Man, there's bummer stuff here too. Oh, one thing

00:35:21.860 --> 00:35:24.039
you didn't mention here. I think you might have

00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:27.130
talked it on. about it on b -sides but the uh

00:35:27.130 --> 00:35:31.289
the mexican girl isis i forget her last name

00:35:31.289 --> 00:35:37.409
ceo yeah she's uh she went home yeah she's out

00:35:37.409 --> 00:35:40.449
of the hospital as well yeah yeah yeah she's

00:35:40.449 --> 00:35:46.690
actually like okay yeah um she needs to retire

00:35:46.690 --> 00:35:51.929
though at the very least it's gonna be like a

00:35:51.929 --> 00:35:56.780
year maybe a year and a half away And she's only

00:35:56.780 --> 00:36:02.480
19. She's only 19 and she's not like... I don't

00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:04.239
know how to say it nicely, but she's not that

00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:08.019
good. She was just starting out, so it's not

00:36:08.019 --> 00:36:10.719
like you're throwing away a legendary career

00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:15.019
or something. That's what I mean, yeah. You gave

00:36:15.019 --> 00:36:19.420
it an honest go. Didn't work out. You're young.

00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:25.840
Pick something else to do. Coach? Train? Be a

00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:29.780
trainer? Yeah, she's fucking 19. You can do anything

00:36:29.780 --> 00:36:36.099
at 19. She could become a nurse or a doctor or

00:36:36.099 --> 00:36:39.940
an engineer or fucking anything. Join the military.

00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:43.500
No, don't do that. Yeah, don't do that. Don't

00:36:43.500 --> 00:36:48.179
do that. That's a bad idea. Not right now, anyway.

00:36:50.300 --> 00:36:55.650
But yeah, Isisio, she's walking, talking. Everything

00:36:55.650 --> 00:36:58.969
seems to be okay. Still tracking it. Which is

00:36:58.969 --> 00:37:05.650
excellent news. Yes. Now, anything more for the

00:37:05.650 --> 00:37:10.210
news? Yeah. We can end on a nice... Positive.

00:37:10.210 --> 00:37:13.309
Somebody recovered. Yeah. All right. Social media

00:37:13.309 --> 00:37:16.690
shit. LBX Media Net. That's the handle on everything.

00:37:22.389 --> 00:37:26.610
extra, a review would not go amiss. LVXmedia

00:37:26.610 --> 00:37:30.590
.net slash boxing. That's a pretty solid calendar.

00:37:30.889 --> 00:37:34.329
Still working on finding a way that you can sync

00:37:34.329 --> 00:37:38.570
my calendar to your device. Still working on

00:37:38.570 --> 00:37:42.829
it. I will be over the fucking moon when I finally

00:37:42.829 --> 00:37:46.230
figure it out. You are the IT guy. This is your

00:37:46.230 --> 00:37:48.389
wheelhouse. I know. That's why it's really...

00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:54.440
bothering me. And while you're on the Lux Media

00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:58.599
site, check out the articles. There's a button

00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:02.960
at the top. The most recent article is mine on

00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:10.679
Mayweather Pacquiao 2. Poo poo. Let's be real.

00:38:10.940 --> 00:38:13.480
Building or rebuilding credit can feel like trying

00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:16.460
to open the door that's already locked. You need

00:38:16.460 --> 00:38:18.739
credit to get credit, right? It's a loop that

00:38:18.739 --> 00:38:21.960
doesn't make much sense. So, meet Current. It's

00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:25.199
the key that actually fits into that lock. Current

00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:27.639
doesn't just help you build your future, it helps

00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:30.500

00:38:30.500 --> 00:38:33.340
secured cards that lock your cash away, Current

00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:40.820
wait for your credit score to go up before the

00:38:40.820 --> 00:38:43.239
card needs a repair or the electric bill needs

00:38:43.239 --> 00:38:46.179
to be paid. Current loves to give a good head

00:38:46.179 --> 00:38:48.820
start by putting money back in your pocket. Set

00:38:48.820 --> 00:38:52.199

00:39:17.300 --> 00:39:19.579
worse than that nagging suspicion that you clicked

00:39:19.579 --> 00:39:22.539
on the wrong thing? We use our devices for everything

worry if your data is safe while you're just

trying to live your life. Good security shouldn't

00:39:33.599 --> 00:39:35.739
be complicated and it definitely shouldn't slow

00:39:35.739 --> 00:39:38.059

and help us out in the process. I'm going to

00:40:37.059 --> 00:40:39.530
keep it a buck with you. After spending six years

00:40:39.530 --> 00:40:41.750
in the military and throughout my life since,

00:40:41.969 --> 00:40:44.889
I've tried my fair share of energy drinks, all

00:40:44.889 --> 00:40:46.570
the different brands, all the different flavors,

00:40:46.789 --> 00:40:49.610
and it took some time to find a favorite. But

00:40:49.610 --> 00:40:51.809
if you're looking for an alternative to the energy

00:40:51.809 --> 00:40:54.110
drink jitters and skipping the morning trip to

00:40:54.110 --> 00:40:56.489
the coffee shop, then you need to try Dubby.

00:40:57.110 --> 00:40:59.690
Dubby is a powdered energy drink that replaces

00:40:59.690 --> 00:41:03.309
other caffeine beverages. It contains zero maltodextrin,

00:41:03.800 --> 00:41:06.480
Zero fillers, zero artificial colors or dyes,

00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:09.539
and no proprietary blends. The star of the show

00:41:09.539 --> 00:41:12.039
is the coffee fruit extract, which helps with

00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:15.659
focus without the jitters or crash. Go to lvx

00:41:15.659 --> 00:41:18.599
.be slash dubby and check out all the different

00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:21.699
flavors. I got tiger's blood. It's like a strawberry

00:41:21.699 --> 00:41:24.460
coconut kind of mix. But I'm definitely going

00:41:24.460 --> 00:41:26.440
to be sampling the catalog to find the flavor

00:41:26.440 --> 00:41:29.000
that I like best. We've partnered with Dubby

00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:31.699

00:41:31.699 --> 00:41:35.320

That's lvx .be slash d -u -b -b -y. Alright,

00:41:54.519 --> 00:42:01.659
into the recaps. Starting off with... MF Pro.

00:42:02.360 --> 00:42:07.019
At the SSE Arena in Belfast. Only fight really

00:42:07.019 --> 00:42:09.780
we're talking about here. Mickey Conlin drops

00:42:09.780 --> 00:42:12.219
the ball, loses the split decision to Kevin Walsh,

00:42:12.340 --> 00:42:17.079
and retires. Has he not retired before? I swear

00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:21.079
to God. He has. He has. Okay. He should make

00:42:21.079 --> 00:42:25.579
it for real this time. I was super high on Mickey

00:42:25.579 --> 00:42:29.119
Conlin coming out of the amateurs, but he just

00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:34.110
doesn't have the chin for the pros. In my opinion.

00:42:34.329 --> 00:42:37.570
I mean, you're schooling Lee Wood, and then you

00:42:37.570 --> 00:42:42.889
get... Fucking iced. WWF thrown out of the ring.

00:42:44.110 --> 00:42:47.550
Yeah, that was so fucking crazy. I didn't know

00:42:47.550 --> 00:42:50.949
whether to be happy for Wood or sad for Conlon,

00:42:51.050 --> 00:42:55.789
because I like both of them. But yeah, I just...

00:42:55.789 --> 00:43:01.110
Not everybody transitions well, and Mickey Conlon

00:43:01.110 --> 00:43:07.440
wasn't made for the pros. In my opinion. But

00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:09.559
I really liked him coming out of the amateurs.

00:43:09.699 --> 00:43:14.920
I thought he was going to be good. I think that's

00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:18.699
why I didn't like him. It was just because he

00:43:18.699 --> 00:43:21.460
was... The way when he signed with Top Rank,

00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:26.880
they tried to anoint him as the next coming of

00:43:26.880 --> 00:43:31.719
Boxing Jesus. Yeah, yeah. The promotion was...

00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:35.659
over the top. Agreed. Yeah, it's a little rough.

00:43:37.619 --> 00:43:41.280
But yeah, he should go back to promoting. He

00:43:41.280 --> 00:43:44.360
was doing good there. Conlon Boxing was putting

00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:50.579
on a lot of shows on DAZN. Saturday, March 21st.

00:43:50.579 --> 00:43:55.980
First things first. The Copperbox Arena Matchroom.

00:43:56.650 --> 00:43:59.449
Fucking, who really cares who these people are?

00:43:59.809 --> 00:44:04.730
Emmanuel Buttigieg got a nice knockout over...

00:44:04.730 --> 00:44:11.389
Scroll. Jake Goodwin. In the co -main, Jimmy

00:44:11.389 --> 00:44:14.349
Saines gets the majority decision over Derek

00:44:14.349 --> 00:44:20.150
Osaze. And George Ladard, UD over Tyler Denny.

00:44:20.489 --> 00:44:27.719
Not very competitive. This was a very Brit. Break

00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:31.380
card. Yeah. I personally do not care about any

00:44:31.380 --> 00:44:36.940
of these people. It's good to keep an eye because,

00:44:37.139 --> 00:44:44.739
like, Ladard is a matchroom guy. He's going to

00:44:44.739 --> 00:44:50.739
get thrust into contention. Yeah, yeah. I'm not

00:44:50.739 --> 00:44:53.300
saying people shouldn't follow, but, like...

00:44:53.659 --> 00:44:56.739
I had no emotions in this card, I guess. Oh,

00:44:56.739 --> 00:44:59.780
yeah, I didn't care either. For me, it was, like,

00:44:59.820 --> 00:45:02.880
purely academic to be watching. Yeah, yeah. Who

00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:07.119
the fuck is George Ladard, and who might he fight

00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:10.639
in the future? Tyler Denny. I'd prefer Tyler

00:45:10.639 --> 00:45:20.019
Ihop. Moving on. ProBoxTV in San Bernardino.

00:45:20.940 --> 00:45:25.320
California. Let's see. Jocelyn Camarillo knocks

00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:31.659
out Isisio in the first. Like, maybe don't send

00:45:31.659 --> 00:45:34.239
them to the hospital next time, Jocelyn, but

00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:40.920
keep getting those knockouts, girl. Yeah. Sammy

00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:45.179
Contreras knocks out Cesar Cantu in the second.

00:45:45.900 --> 00:45:52.500
That shit was not even close. Albert Gonzalez

00:45:52.500 --> 00:45:57.440
stops Brandon Chambers in the first. Fucking

00:45:57.440 --> 00:46:03.980
Kudratilo Abdukakarov. You son of a bitch. He

00:46:03.980 --> 00:46:08.960
retires with a migraine? After the first show?

00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:13.480
Yeah, did you see the controversy he started

00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:20.079
online? No, what was it? Ah, so some like small

00:46:20.079 --> 00:46:25.670
time boxing media guy i can't remember who it

00:46:25.670 --> 00:46:31.510
was i should um dm'd him and asked him like are

00:46:31.510 --> 00:46:34.789
you good how did the hospital go and stuff he's

00:46:34.789 --> 00:46:37.690
like yeah i'm all good it all checked out but

00:46:37.690 --> 00:46:41.550
i had to quit my health comes first perfectly

00:46:41.550 --> 00:46:48.039
there yep uh but then unprompted he put in the

00:46:48.039 --> 00:46:51.559
reply that provost hadn't paid him oh shit i

00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:54.320
did see that i didn't see what came of it though

00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:58.260
no well and like this was less than a week after

00:46:58.260 --> 00:47:02.800
the fight like i i don't know how boxing pay

00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:07.619
usually works but like you know two weeks to

00:47:07.619 --> 00:47:13.340
get paid isn't unheard of let's see if google

00:47:13.340 --> 00:47:17.579
returns anything But yeah, I really don't want

00:47:17.579 --> 00:47:25.340
Provox to be dicks. Yeah, he confirms he did

00:47:25.340 --> 00:47:33.000
not get paid for the fight. That's... Yeah. That's

00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:36.860
not cool. I would say this is an instance...

00:47:36.860 --> 00:47:42.639
This is like a specific case where the Ali Revival

00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:46.380
Act rules... could come into play like you competed

00:47:46.380 --> 00:47:50.559
for one round so you can get paid for a round

00:47:50.559 --> 00:47:57.119
yeah i i don't know how to feel about this one

00:47:57.119 --> 00:48:01.639
because boxers who don't feel well should stop

00:48:01.639 --> 00:48:07.300
the fight like obviously but why go in at all

00:48:07.300 --> 00:48:11.699
then yeah well with only one round Why go in

00:48:11.699 --> 00:48:14.039
at all? And it's not like he took a lot of damage.

00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:19.119
Yeah, I... I don't know how to feel about this

00:48:19.119 --> 00:48:21.519
one. I mean, he needs to get paid something.

00:48:22.659 --> 00:48:28.079
I think. Yeah. But... I also just don't want

00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:32.659
Probox to be dicks. Like, I want to be able to

00:48:32.659 --> 00:48:38.760
like Probox with no caveats. Yeah, this is a

00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:42.360
strange case, and I'm definitely interested to

00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:47.599
see how they handle this. Gary Jonas doesn't

00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:52.699
seem like a douchebag. No, and I mean, this is,

00:48:52.699 --> 00:49:00.679
what, one week ago? No, more than... Okay. So

00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:05.340
maybe they're still just processing it. Maybe

00:49:05.340 --> 00:49:08.019
Probox is looking to see if they have a legal

00:49:08.019 --> 00:49:13.860
reason to pay him not the full purse. Which I

00:49:13.860 --> 00:49:18.440
think is fair. I think so anyway. With a one

00:49:18.440 --> 00:49:22.960
round retirement and there was actually nothing

00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:28.440
wrong I could see a reduced purse being reasonable

00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:36.639
for sure. But like also Fighters should get paid.

00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:40.079
I'm torn on this one. I don't know how to feel

00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:44.019
about this. How do you feel about Lester Martinez

00:49:44.019 --> 00:49:49.099
winning the interim WBC super middleweight title?

00:49:50.519 --> 00:49:52.920
I thought Lester looked really good in this fight.

00:49:54.059 --> 00:49:58.739
Yeah, he showed his finesse more than any scrappy

00:49:58.739 --> 00:50:02.780
kind of... Yeah, I mean, it wasn't the type of

00:50:02.780 --> 00:50:09.650
fight I like. Like, it wasn't Lester versus Mbili,

00:50:09.769 --> 00:50:16.050
but he showed that he has more talent than he

00:50:16.050 --> 00:50:19.530
had showcased on a big stage before, I think.

00:50:22.230 --> 00:50:26.269
Knesset is a good way to put it. Yeah. I'm really

00:50:26.269 --> 00:50:34.920
high on Lester. Also, what was this for? interim

00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:39.099
wbc super middleweight title so technically he

00:50:39.099 --> 00:50:42.400
got the first belt for guatemala which was super

00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:46.960
cool half belt i would say yeah i also don't

00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:51.019
think it's a real belt but i mean i'm just happy

00:50:51.019 --> 00:50:55.159
for lester and the guatemalan crowd showed up

00:50:55.159 --> 00:50:59.000
they were loud as fuck holy shit i would have

00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:04.440
man i would have loved to be there Yeah, it seemed

00:51:04.440 --> 00:51:09.199
like it was a fun crowd. No, I'm happy for Lester.

00:51:09.400 --> 00:51:15.739
The fucking rat tail is gross, but I want Lester

00:51:15.739 --> 00:51:19.219
Martinez to do big things. He seems like a nice

00:51:19.219 --> 00:51:25.440
guy. He seems pretty down to earth. He's... He's

00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:28.360
a good boxer. Like, this isn't one of my, I just

00:51:28.360 --> 00:51:31.260
want him to do well. He is good, and he deserves

00:51:31.260 --> 00:51:35.019
his title shot. He needs to get the winner of

00:51:35.019 --> 00:51:40.260
Canelo and Billy. I think if Canelo wins it,

00:51:40.340 --> 00:51:45.679
he ducks him. 100%. I think so, too. Lester's

00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:48.960
too much of a challenge for Canelo at this stage,

00:51:49.119 --> 00:51:52.460
and Canelo still has the name to decide who he

00:51:52.460 --> 00:51:57.170
fights. Man, I don't think Canelo and Beely should

00:51:57.170 --> 00:52:00.110
be even happening in the first place. No, it

00:52:00.110 --> 00:52:02.510
should have been a rematch. Yes, absolutely that

00:52:02.510 --> 00:52:05.190
should have been. You do the rematch and the

00:52:05.190 --> 00:52:07.929
winner fights Canelo. What the fuck is the problem?

00:52:08.750 --> 00:52:13.469
And Beely should not have been... Elevated. Elevated.

00:52:13.610 --> 00:52:15.929
I was going to say raised. But yeah, he should

00:52:15.929 --> 00:52:18.550
not have been elevated after that fight. That

00:52:18.550 --> 00:52:22.630
was too fucking close. It was a draw. Like...

00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:26.900
Mbili did not deserve the title over Lester after

00:52:26.900 --> 00:52:29.860
that last fight. Yeah, and Lester would have

00:52:29.860 --> 00:52:32.699
fucking whooped him in the rematch. I'm certain

00:52:32.699 --> 00:52:36.000
of it. Yeah, I'm 100 % certain. Well, and if

00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:39.119
that fucking fight had been 12 rounds, Lester

00:52:39.119 --> 00:52:43.420
would have beat him. 100%. No doubt in my mind.

00:52:43.539 --> 00:52:51.719
Mbili was fading. But... We stan Lester Martinez

00:52:51.719 --> 00:52:55.780
on this podcast. We ride with Lester. Aleem was

00:52:55.780 --> 00:52:57.900
super tough. I was actually pretty impressed.

00:52:58.679 --> 00:53:01.960
I was impressed that Aleem didn't go down. Yeah.

00:53:02.380 --> 00:53:09.000
He'll get called back to Pro Box, for sure. For

00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:12.099
sure. And I'll watch it. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah,

00:53:12.119 --> 00:53:16.139
yeah. No discounting Aleem in this fight, really.

00:53:16.219 --> 00:53:19.789
But Lester was just better. Yes. That's a good

00:53:19.789 --> 00:53:26.250
way to put it. Oh man, speaking of better, last

00:53:26.250 --> 00:53:32.210
bit in the recaps. Starting, this is matchroom

00:53:32.210 --> 00:53:35.889
at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida. Starting

00:53:35.889 --> 00:53:39.949
at the bottom, Tara Moana knocks out Curtis Harper

00:53:39.949 --> 00:53:43.849
in the first. There was a little bit of a...

00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:49.539
high strangeness uh curtis harper took his sweet

00:53:49.539 --> 00:53:54.800
ass time coming out um he his intro song was

00:53:54.800 --> 00:54:00.119
uh uh enter sandman and great song though yeah

00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:03.340
and they got to like the guitar solo and he still

00:54:03.340 --> 00:54:07.860
hadn't come out jesus yeah i missed this one

00:54:07.860 --> 00:54:11.219
it's just the time's bad in japan it's fine like

00:54:11.219 --> 00:54:13.920
it's terrible wanna did what terrible wanna does

00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:18.119
it was uh I didn't want to wake up early to see

00:54:18.119 --> 00:54:22.699
him knock somebody out, to be honest. I'm going

00:54:22.699 --> 00:54:28.079
to continue to point out that I had said, just

00:54:28.079 --> 00:54:33.800
as a joke, that when Curtis Harper sees or hears

00:54:33.800 --> 00:54:38.440
the haka from Tara Moana, he's going to walk

00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:40.780
out of the ring like he did against F .A. Adrogba.

00:54:41.500 --> 00:54:44.820
Which did not happen. But once Tara Moana started

00:54:44.820 --> 00:54:48.320
doing the haka, Curtis Harper left the ring.

00:54:49.320 --> 00:54:53.079
After. Hilarious. After the fight. The timing

00:54:53.079 --> 00:54:57.119
was just too good. I can't not point it out.

00:54:58.679 --> 00:55:02.099
You know what you should have woken up for? Corey

00:55:02.099 --> 00:55:06.099
Marksman. Were you up for this one? No. Oh, you

00:55:06.099 --> 00:55:10.059
missed it. Wow. You missed a good one. Corey

00:55:10.059 --> 00:55:16.679
Marksman lives up to his name. Super sharp. Punch

00:55:16.679 --> 00:55:20.139
selection was just fucking fantastic. I was very

00:55:20.139 --> 00:55:24.559
impressed with Marksman here. I should have went

00:55:24.559 --> 00:55:27.320
back and watched it, I guess. Jacob Gomez was

00:55:27.320 --> 00:55:31.119
a live dog the whole time. So it wasn't just

00:55:31.119 --> 00:55:39.380
like a can crushing scenario. Omari Jones plays

00:55:39.380 --> 00:55:43.239
it safe, gets the UD over Christian Gomez. He

00:55:43.239 --> 00:55:47.699
had everything lined up to get a stoppage, but

00:55:47.699 --> 00:55:51.559
he just didn't seem to want to press the tempo.

00:55:52.260 --> 00:55:54.559
Yeah, he didn't want to take chances. This one

00:55:54.559 --> 00:55:59.420
I did wake up for. I expected better. A little

00:55:59.420 --> 00:56:03.320
disappointing. Yeah. I really expected better.

00:56:04.179 --> 00:56:07.530
It's unfortunate. But whatever, man. You don't

00:56:07.530 --> 00:56:09.730
want to take chances with your health. I get

00:56:09.730 --> 00:56:12.949
it. But just something you would hope for as

00:56:12.949 --> 00:56:17.409
a fan. You would hope. Yeah, to push for the

00:56:17.409 --> 00:56:23.030
stoppage. Right. Everybody likes stoppages. Carlos

00:56:23.030 --> 00:56:28.210
Adamas, WBC middleweight champion. Beats the

00:56:28.210 --> 00:56:31.090
piss out of Austin Williams. Ammo, he went back

00:56:31.090 --> 00:56:36.849
to. Fucking good. Good. He was rated third in

00:56:36.849 --> 00:56:40.909
the WBC rankings when I checked, last I checked

00:56:40.909 --> 00:56:45.369
before the fight. Carlos Adamas beat his ass

00:56:45.369 --> 00:56:48.849
so bad he just moved up to super middleweight.

00:56:49.650 --> 00:56:55.070
Excellent. Yeah, good stuff. Yeah. I beat you

00:56:55.070 --> 00:56:59.409
so bad that you're changing neighborhoods. Yeah,

00:56:59.409 --> 00:57:02.170
I'm leaving. See you guys later. I'm moving.

00:57:03.000 --> 00:57:10.300
I got bullied and I'm gone. No, Carlos looked

00:57:10.300 --> 00:57:17.780
really good. Yeah. I was impressed. Saul made

00:57:17.780 --> 00:57:20.219
a joke like, I can't wait to see Adamas back

00:57:20.219 --> 00:57:27.539
next year. Yeah. I think Super Middleweight will

00:57:27.539 --> 00:57:34.989
ignite the competitive fire for Adamas. There's

00:57:34.989 --> 00:57:39.489
better people here. And if he's coming up from

00:57:39.489 --> 00:57:44.050
160 to 68 in the WBC side of the house, he's

00:57:44.050 --> 00:57:47.909
got Lester Martinez, he's got Mbili there, that

00:57:47.909 --> 00:57:50.949
he could, if he weren't able to knock those two

00:57:50.949 --> 00:57:54.369
off, he could get a Canelo fight if he were to

00:57:54.369 --> 00:57:57.849
do those in quick succession. Could he? Again,

00:57:57.989 --> 00:58:01.349
I think Canelo's not looking for challenges at

00:58:01.349 --> 00:58:08.630
this point. You're probably right. Looking good

00:58:08.630 --> 00:58:11.849
kind of takes you out of the Canelo sweepstakes

00:58:11.849 --> 00:58:18.710
these days. You are correct. Why is Terrence

00:58:18.710 --> 00:58:25.389
Crawford still here? No shade. He retired and

00:58:25.389 --> 00:58:27.650
he's made it extremely clear that he's done.

00:58:29.070 --> 00:58:34.179
People don't want to believe. Terrence is one

00:58:34.179 --> 00:58:37.320
of those guys, I think, when he says something,

00:58:37.380 --> 00:58:40.019
he actually means it. I think so, too. That's

00:58:40.019 --> 00:58:42.380
why I'm saying. I don't think Crawford's coming

00:58:42.380 --> 00:58:48.800
back. Yeah. He had said in an interview that

00:58:48.800 --> 00:58:53.920
because Janabek popped for PEDs, he decided he

00:58:53.920 --> 00:58:56.400
was going to retire instead. He was going to

00:58:56.400 --> 00:59:01.389
go to 160 and fight everyone there. And do the

00:59:01.389 --> 00:59:03.949
four -weight undisputed... Are you fucking kidding

00:59:03.949 --> 00:59:07.590
me, bro? Four -weight undisputed? It would be

00:59:07.590 --> 00:59:10.909
big. Untouchable record. Like, that'll never

00:59:10.909 --> 00:59:13.449
get... I don't think that'll ever be broken.

00:59:13.570 --> 00:59:21.210
With quality opponents, I'll say. Who's here

00:59:21.210 --> 00:59:25.889
for Carlos Adamas? Man, this division is stacked.

00:59:28.340 --> 00:59:33.320
168 is super stacked. Yeah, from the top down,

00:59:33.659 --> 00:59:38.659
Bud, Canelo, Hamza Shiraz, Jamal Charlo, Mbili,

00:59:38.940 --> 00:59:45.380
Diego Pacheco, Oslis, Munguia, Jacob Bank, Jakub

00:59:45.380 --> 00:59:52.059
Bank, pardon me, Lester at 10. Lester deserves

00:59:52.059 --> 00:59:54.940
to be higher. That's bullshit. I would say he

00:59:54.940 --> 00:59:58.880
should be higher than at least. Jakub and Jaime

00:59:58.880 --> 01:00:03.300
Mugia. And Diego Pacheco should not be above

01:00:03.300 --> 01:00:08.239
Oslis. No. Charlo should not be in the top ten.

01:00:11.360 --> 01:00:15.360
Charlo hasn't fought in fucking forever. It's

01:00:15.360 --> 01:00:19.440
been some time. He fought Cornflake almost a

01:00:19.440 --> 01:00:24.300
year ago. I have the wrong Charlo, but I stand

01:00:24.300 --> 01:00:27.070
by it. He hasn't fought anyone worth fighting

01:00:27.070 --> 01:00:33.110
for a while. Yeah, still. The point stands. Anything

01:00:33.110 --> 01:00:34.849
more for the matchroom card? Because we still

01:00:34.849 --> 01:00:38.750
got the previews to get to. No, no. We can move

01:00:38.750 --> 01:00:41.869
on. All right. Let me put some more notes in

01:00:41.869 --> 01:00:45.389

01:00:55.590 --> 01:01:00.389
got, I want to hear it. If you can, doing it

01:01:00.389 --> 01:01:03.170
through WhatsApp makes it easier for me to process

01:01:03.170 --> 01:01:06.269
it into the show. But however you want to deliver

01:01:41.260 --> 01:01:44.739
stuff, you heard at the very beginning when I

01:01:44.739 --> 01:01:48.039
said 20 minutes of Patreon time. What happened

01:01:48.039 --> 01:01:50.320
in those 20 minutes? You'll never know unless

01:01:50.320 --> 01:01:54.530
you go to Patreon .com slash LVX Media Net. Think

01:01:54.530 --> 01:01:56.869
about everything you've done online today. Your

private emails, your bank logins, photos that

01:01:59.969 --> 01:02:02.329
you backed up, and every site that you visited.

01:02:02.989 --> 01:02:05.349
Now think about how many companies are quietly

01:02:05.349 --> 01:02:08.030
watching, logging, and selling that information

01:02:08.030 --> 01:02:11.010
to the highest bidder. In the modern world, your

01:02:11.010 --> 01:02:13.309
digital footprint is being tracked at every turn.

01:02:13.809 --> 01:02:16.269
It's time to take back your privacy with the

01:02:16.269 --> 01:02:19.550
Proton Suite. Most companies offer a single tool

01:02:19.550 --> 01:02:22.469
and call it security, but Proton is different.

01:02:23.079 --> 01:02:25.960
It's a complete privacy -centric ecosystem designed

01:02:25.960 --> 01:02:28.260
to build a fortress around your digital life

01:02:28.260 --> 01:02:31.239
while having a suite of tools that all work together

01:02:31.239 --> 01:02:34.699
to ease your digital life. With one subscription,

01:02:35.039 --> 01:02:38.239
you get a lightning fast VPN to mask your location,

01:02:38.460 --> 01:02:41.420
fully encrypted cloud storage for your most important

01:02:41.420 --> 01:02:44.539
data, and a secure email service that keeps your

01:02:44.539 --> 01:02:47.599
conversations private. There's also a high -end

01:02:47.599 --> 01:02:49.860
password manager to ensure you never have to

01:02:49.860 --> 01:02:53.070
reuse a weak password again. Everything is protected

01:02:53.070 --> 01:02:56.110
with zero knowledge encryption, which means only

01:02:56.110 --> 01:02:59.070
you have the keys. Not even Proton can see what's

01:02:59.070 --> 01:03:02.550
inside your stuff. Stop being the product and

01:03:02.550 --> 01:03:06.429

You've got the coffee, you've got the to -do

list, but your brain just isn't clicking into

01:03:27.860 --> 01:03:30.820
gear. Most of us just reach for another hit of

01:03:30.820 --> 01:03:33.280
caffeine, but that usually just leads to a crash,

01:03:33.300 --> 01:03:35.920
not a breakthrough. It's time to upgrade your

leave you jittering, just alert. Whether you're

01:04:04.909 --> 01:04:07.150
grinding through a complex project, studying

01:04:07.150 --> 01:04:09.409

locked in on what you're doing, this is the clarity

01:04:12.210 --> 01:04:15.059

time you enjoyed a crisp apple, a handful of

01:04:35.500 --> 01:04:38.340
almonds, or even your morning coffee. We owe

01:04:38.340 --> 01:04:40.139
those simple pleasures to the hardest workers

01:04:40.139 --> 01:04:43.139
on the planet, honeybees. But right now, bees

01:04:43.139 --> 01:04:45.460
are facing unprecedented challenges from habitat

01:04:45.460 --> 01:04:48.079
loss and climate change, and they need our help

01:04:48.079 --> 01:04:51.760
to keep working. That's why we partnered with

01:04:51.760 --> 01:04:54.500
Project Honeybees. They aren't just a conservation

01:04:54.500 --> 01:04:57.400
group. They're a community dedicated to restoring

01:04:57.400 --> 01:05:00.159
hive populations and connecting us with the hives

01:05:00.159 --> 01:05:03.219
they save. And the best part is you can wear

01:05:03.219 --> 01:05:05.460
your support on your sleeve in a literal sense.

01:05:06.099 --> 01:05:09.179
The Project Honeybees create stunning handcrafted

01:05:09.179 --> 01:05:12.469
bee -themed jewelry. from delicate gold necklaces

01:05:12.469 --> 01:05:15.969
to sterling silver bumblebee earrings. And each

01:05:15.969 --> 01:05:19.409
piece is a conversation starter. More importantly

01:05:19.409 --> 01:05:22.369
though, every single purchase directly funds

01:05:22.369 --> 01:05:25.949
the placement of new hives, rescue of bees that

01:05:25.949 --> 01:05:28.929
are hived in precarious spots, and the protection

01:05:28.929 --> 01:05:32.570
of local pollinators. When you wear Project Honeybees,

01:05:32.590 --> 01:05:34.989
you're telling the world that you stand for nature's

01:05:34.989 --> 01:05:39.170

spells both his names wrong. Just an FYI. That

01:07:04.599 --> 01:07:11.960
says Louis? Yeah. Or maybe Louise? No, Louise

01:07:11.960 --> 01:07:18.920
is a girl's name. I assume it's Louis. Moving

01:07:18.920 --> 01:07:22.400

PBC on Prime at the Wynn Entertainment Center

01:07:28.260 --> 01:07:32.960
in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. Not

01:07:32.960 --> 01:07:35.460
a whole lot doing here either. The co -main event,

01:07:35.619 --> 01:07:40.650
Sam Goodman. versus Rodrigo Ruiz. And the main

01:07:40.650 --> 01:07:47.949
event, Tim Zhu versus Dennis Nuria. Yeah, it's

01:07:47.949 --> 01:07:52.210
at least names I know. Yeah. Oh, they put Goodman

01:07:52.210 --> 01:07:56.610
against an Argentinian. Oh, a tough Argentinian,

01:07:56.630 --> 01:08:03.809
too. 23 -1. Yeah. I might throw a small amount

01:08:03.809 --> 01:08:08.400
of money on the Argentinian. Those guys upset

01:08:08.400 --> 01:08:11.480
people all the fucking time. Yeah, that's because

01:08:11.480 --> 01:08:15.460
people don't fucking pay them their due respect.

01:08:16.579 --> 01:08:25.939
Yeah. Argentina. Argentina. No. Yeah. Okay. Jesus

01:08:25.939 --> 01:08:30.279
Christ. I need more sleep, Leo. Argentina. Yes.

01:08:30.520 --> 01:08:34.880
Thank you. Argentina has good boxing. Yeah, absolutely.

01:08:35.020 --> 01:08:39.289
We've talked about it. Plenty of times. Put some

01:08:39.289 --> 01:08:43.229
fucking respect on their names. Argentines are

01:08:43.229 --> 01:08:47.350
generally smug fucking douchebags. But they can

01:08:47.350 --> 01:08:53.350
fucking fight. Yeah. And there are a lot of Argentines

01:08:53.350 --> 01:08:56.409
that get brought up to be cans. So you never

01:08:56.409 --> 01:08:58.670
fucking know. But this guy doesn't look like

01:08:58.670 --> 01:09:00.970
a can. He looks like he's taking it serious.

01:09:02.689 --> 01:09:08.409
I hope. I want Sam Goodman to suffer for wasting

01:09:08.409 --> 01:09:12.989
Inouye's time. Yes, I agree. Fuck Sam Goodman.

01:09:15.470 --> 01:09:23.970
We're riding with Rodrigo Ruiz. Last one for

01:09:23.970 --> 01:09:28.529
Saturday, April 4th. Queensberry at the O2 Arena

01:09:28.529 --> 01:09:33.819
in London. Man, oh man. What do we got on the

01:09:33.819 --> 01:09:38.319
undercard here? A lot of names I don't know is

01:09:38.319 --> 01:09:42.239
what we have. Denzel Bentley versus Andres Saavedra

01:09:42.239 --> 01:09:46.560
for the interim WBO middleweight title. Remember

01:09:46.560 --> 01:09:50.880
that Jannebeck was only suspended. So there you

01:09:50.880 --> 01:09:56.539
go. Bullshit. Vidal Riley versus Matus Masternak.

01:09:57.380 --> 01:10:02.789
This is an EBU. cruiserweight title ebu is just

01:10:02.789 --> 01:10:06.810
the stepping stone to the wbc so worth paying

01:10:06.810 --> 01:10:10.729
attention to because we want we want mccallion

01:10:10.729 --> 01:10:17.510
to stop holding that belt hostage we do and main

01:10:17.510 --> 01:10:27.529
event deontay wilder derrick chizora 100? Isn't

01:10:27.529 --> 01:10:30.010
that the billing? That is the name of the event.

01:10:30.090 --> 01:10:38.270
100. Chizora is going to chin Wilder and the

01:10:38.270 --> 01:10:42.789
Americans will be in shambles. I absolutely will

01:10:42.789 --> 01:10:46.750
be in shambles if Derek Chizora manages to...

01:10:46.750 --> 01:10:53.170
If he stops Wilder, yes. If it's a decision situation,

01:10:53.710 --> 01:10:57.239
I'm not... I'll be alright. Shambled? You're

01:10:57.239 --> 01:10:59.880
not shambled? No. Nah, Chizora's gonna stop him.

01:10:59.979 --> 01:11:03.779
I'll be in tatters, not shambles. Fair enough.

01:11:03.880 --> 01:11:07.279
But Chizora's gonna stop him. I have complete

01:11:07.279 --> 01:11:11.840
faith that Chizora is way less washed than Deontay

01:11:11.840 --> 01:11:15.579
Wilder. Even if he is as washed, he has more

01:11:15.579 --> 01:11:24.220
experience being washed. Yes. I heard that in

01:11:24.220 --> 01:11:27.260
chat. Or I read that in chat, and I haven't been

01:11:27.260 --> 01:11:30.680
able to stop laughing at it. It's true, though.

01:11:30.739 --> 01:11:37.100
It is. Chizora is the washed goat. Nobody has

01:11:37.100 --> 01:11:41.000
fought as well washed as Derek Chizora does.

01:11:48.720 --> 01:11:56.460
I'm here for the American Missile. which may

01:11:56.460 --> 01:11:59.739
be not the right time to be joking about missiles,

01:12:00.000 --> 01:12:03.699
American missiles in particular, but Deontay

01:12:03.699 --> 01:12:06.979
Wilder's right hand. The bronze bomber has been

01:12:06.979 --> 01:12:10.199
fucking... He's dead. He's dead. Yeah. And it

01:12:10.199 --> 01:12:13.819
breaks my heart. I'm still here for it. I'm going

01:12:13.819 --> 01:12:19.380
down with the ship. Fucking salutes up to the

01:12:19.380 --> 01:12:25.600
flag as we go down, as we submerge. I'm riding

01:12:25.600 --> 01:12:28.140
with Wilder. I have to. Fair enough. You got

01:12:28.140 --> 01:12:31.140
to ride with your boy, but there's no fucking

01:12:31.140 --> 01:12:34.960
way he beats Chizora in my mind. It's just not

01:12:34.960 --> 01:12:42.380
going to happen. Hmm. Shall we move on? Yeah.

01:12:42.779 --> 01:12:46.020
All right. Sunday, April 5th. Two things here.

01:12:47.060 --> 01:12:54.470
MVP, MVPW. On ESPN, I believe this is MVPW2.

01:12:56.829 --> 01:13:00.050
We've got quite a few title fights on here. Chantel

01:13:00.050 --> 01:13:03.810
Cameron versus Mikaela Kotaskova for the vacant

01:13:03.810 --> 01:13:08.689
WBO 154 title. This is the one that Mikaela Mayer

01:13:08.689 --> 01:13:14.489
just vacated. I assume Chantel Cameron's going

01:13:14.489 --> 01:13:19.350
to make easy work of this one. Yes. She's the

01:13:19.350 --> 01:13:24.239
top. 154 so on box rec anyway so for whatever

01:13:24.239 --> 01:13:30.939
that's worth Irma Garcia the IBF super flyweight

01:13:30.939 --> 01:13:34.420
champ will be facing first rated contender Emma

01:13:34.420 --> 01:13:41.699
Dolan Ellie Scottney will be going for undisputed

01:13:41.699 --> 01:13:47.960
with Mayeli Flores Scottney is the IBF, WBC,

01:13:48.100 --> 01:13:51.779
WBO, Super Bantamweight Champion, and Mayeli

01:13:51.779 --> 01:13:56.659
Flores is the WBA champ. So there can only be

01:13:56.659 --> 01:14:00.039
one. There can be only one. God, get it right.

01:14:01.880 --> 01:14:06.779
And in the main event, WBC, WBO, Lightweight

01:14:06.779 --> 01:14:10.220
Unification, Caroline Dubois, and Terry Harper.

01:14:14.070 --> 01:14:21.050
Terry Harper needs to stop. I know she's got

01:14:21.050 --> 01:14:25.350
a couple wins lately, but Terry Harper has taken

01:14:25.350 --> 01:14:32.850
too much damage, in my opinion. I'm just here

01:14:32.850 --> 01:14:37.529
for whatever can keep Caroline in the headlines,

01:14:37.630 --> 01:14:42.609
and maybe that'll lure Daniel out of the cult.

01:14:44.199 --> 01:14:50.939
That's what I'm looking for. Yeah. I just, I

01:14:50.939 --> 01:14:54.939
don't see how Terry Harper wins this one. To

01:14:54.939 --> 01:14:58.479
be honest. But yeah, that weird cult situation

01:14:58.479 --> 01:15:02.199
with the Dubois family is weird as hell. And

01:15:02.199 --> 01:15:04.859
I hope Caroline gets all her siblings out of

01:15:04.859 --> 01:15:14.420
it. Eventually. Last thing on the docket. Zufa

01:15:14.420 --> 01:15:20.699
Boxing 5 at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas. Going

01:15:20.699 --> 01:15:23.380
from the bottom up, we'll get to the main portion

01:15:23.380 --> 01:15:26.859
in a moment. Emiliano Cardenas versus Alexis

01:15:26.859 --> 01:15:32.260
Alvarado at Bantamweight. Troy Nash. Nice. That's

01:15:32.260 --> 01:15:34.979
a good one. Should be a good one anyway. Versus

01:15:34.979 --> 01:15:39.960
Brian Rodriguez at Feather. Jorge Maravillo and

01:15:39.960 --> 01:15:45.640
Elias. Diaz at welter. Robert Merriweather III

01:15:45.640 --> 01:15:50.020
vs. Tony Hirsch at lightweight. Alexis de la

01:15:50.020 --> 01:15:57.220
Cerda vs. Irvin Fuller at feather. And in the

01:15:57.220 --> 01:16:01.560
main portion, Azad Hovenissian vs. Eduardo Baez

01:16:01.560 --> 01:16:07.220
at featherweight. Mark Magsayo vs. Fiergal McCrory

01:16:07.220 --> 01:16:11.829
at lightweight. And Andres Cortez versus Erickson

01:16:11.829 --> 01:16:18.710
Garcia at lightweight. I'm so sad Meg Zio signed

01:16:18.710 --> 01:16:29.810
with these assholes. Me too. I mean, it's not

01:16:29.810 --> 01:16:34.529
a bad card. No, it's not. Zufa's going to suck

01:16:34.529 --> 01:16:38.539
all the fun out of everything. What color trunks

01:16:38.539 --> 01:16:42.279
do you think Maxaya is going to wear? He's the

01:16:42.279 --> 01:16:46.979
A side, so he's white, right? The A or B side

01:16:46.979 --> 01:16:50.760
doesn't matter. You pick your color. Oh, okay.

01:16:51.000 --> 01:16:54.260
I think he's going to wear black. Yeah, if he

01:16:54.260 --> 01:16:56.840
gets to pick, he wears black. I have not been

01:16:56.840 --> 01:16:58.859
paying enough attention. I assume the A side

01:16:58.859 --> 01:17:06.180
was white. Good guys versus bad guys. Oh. Western.

01:17:08.130 --> 01:17:11.390
color rules. Oh, okay. Like the old black and

01:17:11.390 --> 01:17:13.449
white western. Yeah, I see what you mean now.

01:17:13.670 --> 01:17:19.510
No, not in a racist way. But Shannara and racism

01:17:19.510 --> 01:17:27.149
go together. I know, I know. Okay. We're almost

01:17:27.149 --> 01:17:29.590
done. Yeah, that's all we got on the docket.

01:17:30.649 --> 01:17:33.930
I will be hate -watching Zufa, as I always do.

01:17:34.949 --> 01:17:38.380
I mean, if nothing else, I watch this so that

01:17:38.380 --> 01:17:44.119
you don't necessarily have to. You can just enjoy

01:17:44.119 --> 01:17:51.260
my recap. I try and pirate Zufa even though it's

01:17:51.260 --> 01:17:54.920
on YouTube. Oh, it's on YouTube for you. That's

01:17:54.920 --> 01:17:59.979
right. Yeah. I still pirate it. I don't want

01:17:59.979 --> 01:18:10.470
to give them views. Ethical pirate. I will be

01:18:10.470 --> 01:18:14.529
the captain of the ship. And as many people can

01:18:14.529 --> 01:18:28.729
board the LSS fucking fuck Zufa. Yeah. All right.

01:18:28.850 --> 01:18:33.069
Well, we are going into Wilder Chisora weekend.

01:18:34.050 --> 01:18:41.159
Parting words. Parting words. Go to bed before

01:18:41.159 --> 01:18:44.479
the sun comes up would be my parting words today.

01:18:44.760 --> 01:18:48.439
Usually a good thing to do. Yeah, sunrises are

01:18:48.439 --> 01:18:55.840
overrated. That shit sucks. Do illiterate people

01:18:55.840 --> 01:19:07.140
get the full effect of alphabet soup? It's too

01:19:07.140 --> 01:19:09.960
bad my grandpa's dead. I could have asked him.

01:19:13.800 --> 01:19:19.800
Where does your lap go when you stand up? You're

01:19:19.800 --> 01:19:25.680
asking hard questions, Leo. Oh, here's a relevant

01:19:25.680 --> 01:19:30.859
one. Why are boxing rings square? Because...

01:19:30.859 --> 01:19:33.020
A squared circle. Because fuck you, they used

01:19:33.020 --> 01:19:40.210
to be circles. I'll cut it with the shady jokes

01:19:40.210 --> 01:19:45.470
now. That's it for this edition of Boxing Before

01:19:45.470 --> 01:19:49.970
Dark. Get yourself some floor beers. Floor beers

01:19:49.970 --> 01:19:50.529
are delicious.
