  Speaker 1: Hey, what a boxing fans. This is the Rope of
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Dope radio podcast. I'm your host, Chris Carlson. We are
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: live on a Thursday afternoon. I hope everybody's doing okay.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: We will talk a little bit about this weekend. Innuay returns.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: You know, in a fight that it's kind of like
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: just getting it out of the way. Who knows, maybe
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: this dude actually presents some form of challenge early in
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the fight or something like that. I guess you never know,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: but I don't anticipate in any way to have any
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: problems with this dude, you know, like most fights, really,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: it's really about what twenty twenty five is going to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: look like. You know, we heard that the plan was
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and obviously this got delayed, but the plan was for
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: any way to fight Nakatani this year, sometime in April.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: It does seem like he's gonna still fight in April
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: here in the States, but the plan was to have
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Nakazani and him on the same card and then then
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to get it on. It doesn't seem like that's gonna
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: happen now, but I guess we'll find out. So we're
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: not gonna break that fight down too deep. And honestly,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: it's gonna happen and like you know, twelve hours or
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: something like that. So Pacheco and Nelson, some other interesting
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: bouts this weekend as well, will get into Pacheco and Nelson.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I think that's a really good fight. Nelson has been
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: looking for a you know, a big fight. You know,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: he got into boxing very late, he was in the military,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and he is one of those guys that when you
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: look at his record, you're like, oh wow, okay, when
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you look at his age, you're like, oh wow, okay.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: So does he have a chance to pull the up here.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I think he does to an extent, but we'll find out.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: We'll definitely find out, and then we'll get into some
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: fight news. We just heard now that Boots and Stanonius
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: is finalized. It's done, which is a great fight. I'm
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: really happy Boots ns. You know, some opportunities went by
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the wayside, but not this one. So I'm really happy
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: for both fighters really because Stenonius, you know, had some
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: opportunities here of late that just didn't come to fruition unfortunately.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: So this is a great fight. Really happy that it's happening.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: We'll get into the Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney stuff. It
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: looks like they're not gonna fight until they win their
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: next fights and then tf Ma Lopez. Who is he
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: gonna fight next? Keith Thurman. Keith Thurman. As long as
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: he doesn't hurt himself in camp, it's gonna make his return.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: So we'll talk a little bit about that. Canello and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Bud as well. It seems like they may be on
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a collision course. Will they have fights before that or
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: is it just Hey, we'll wait till September, so we'll
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: talk about it. It is gonna be a little bit
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: of a shortened show today. It's not gonna go too deep,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: not a whole lot of recap that type of thing.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I did get a lot of pushback, which I always
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: do on my Prospect of the Year, and I get it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I get it. You know, we're kind of programmed, and
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not even saying that's like a negative thing. We're
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: programmed to pick guys who are like or gals who
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: are like you know, eight no, and dude, they look
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: awesome and they're knocking dudes out and knock this dude's
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: head into the fourth row, and who'd that guy fight
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: before his head went the fourth row, nobody could do.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Didn't it look great? You know? And so I just
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: don't do that, you know, I don't. I don't, I don't,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I don't. I'll project the future for guys who are
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: twelve in all potentially, but I don't like to project
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: it as a like, I don't know. I'd rather do
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that than give them prospect of the year. I just
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: have a different definition. And some people were saying that
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Brian Norman Junior was a contender already, okay, but based
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: off his wins, he was a fringe contender. Now that
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: division he was in, or is in, i should say,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: is lighter, you know, it's light in the ass now, right,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: so it is not as deep. So I would put
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: him at fringe contender. But if you wanted him at
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: eight nine ten at the time, like at the beginning
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: of the year, that's fine, that's fine, no problem. You know.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: To me, he didn't make himself a full on contender
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: until this year, and that's, you know, fringe contender prospect
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to me. If you're a fringe contender and you know
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you're not like, you know, thirty seven or something like that,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: then to me, you're a prospect still, but it happens
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: every year. It's not like I didn't mention a bunch
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: of other you know, fighters that were up for it
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: or whatever, but you know, it is what it is.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I did actually get some well, I got some pushback
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: on the Event of the Year, and I'd get it. Man.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: You know they're like, event is such a vague thing.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Well it's really not. But I think that we turned
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: it into it like Event of the Year is my
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: favorite event as a boxing fan, right or Event of
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the Year is Hey, dude, we finally got all the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: belts together in heavyweight and light heavyweight, and those are
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: great things. I'm glad they happened. By the way, I've
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: heard multiple podcast and even people tweeting it saying that
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: they couldn't pick Usik because he only had one fight
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: this year. And I literally heard that on multiple times,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and it's like, you mean he only fought one fighter?
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Because that that threw me off. That threw me off anyway,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I get it, dude. Like I was even given praise
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: to the first five for five in June, I'm talking
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: about an event. When you looked at fury Usk, it
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: just wasn't as big of an event dude, it's just
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: it is what it is, like you, It's not like
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I named Canelo Berlanga or something, but that did more
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: at the gate, it did way more pay per views,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: like it was a bigger event. But that's just a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: fag term event, okay, or we're turning it into I
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: keep saying that we're turning this into a fag thing
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: like it has a lot of meaning. It has different
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: meanings to different people. The event of the year is
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the biggest event in boxing of the year. Now, if
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you look at the gate, it was bonkers Tyson and Paul,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: if you look at the numbers, they were bonkers. I
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: ever since it was announced, I was not in favor
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: of this exhibition esque fight. I just wasn't. But I
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: got it. I understood why, and I did appreciate, which
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I always said before, during after whatever, that they had
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a good undercart and the shit popped off. Now you know,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: we know that a lot of people, unfortunately didn't get
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: to see it. That's why another reason why I didn't
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: watch it live, because I got to see all the fights,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: like without the app going fucking nuts or whatever. But
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: it was the event of the year, no matter I
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: don't like it. I don't like that that was that
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that was the main event in the event of the year.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: But it is what it is, dude. You know, Like,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: so I got those are the two pushbacks. I did
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: get some praise for naming you know, ten plus fights
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: over ten fights in my Fight of the Year. So
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I like to dig on some of them.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying I dug on it like it was
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: box Wreck or you know, or like Gray or like
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: some other folks that really dig deep into it. I
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: appreciate those folks. But yeah, so it is what it is.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Like I said, every single solitary year, it happens prosper
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the year. People just don't like my pick. It is
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: what it is, man. I don't know to tell you.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Just because you don't like the fact that the Tyson
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Jake Paul fight happened and it got so much attention
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean it didn't get it gandered the most, the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: most uh you know attention. It just did, dude. There's
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: just there's literally no way around it. Sorry, it just did. Anyway.

• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of jump right in to this weekend. You know, Diego
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Checko is an up and comer, was on a lot
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: of people's prospect of the of the year last year,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and probably even a year before that, potentially, you know,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: when he was knocking fools out right, that Sean McCollum,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: mccollman or something like that. I should go checked it
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: was a ten rounder. That dude was an unbeaten prospect
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: as well, or unbeaten fight or whatever. See, I'm now
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I'm getting caught up in this shit. You know, that
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: was a that was a good fight for him, right,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: It was definitely a good fight for him. But it
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: was a competitive fight. The scorecards I remember, were kind
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: of all over the place. I should actually check that here.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Let me just look at it. Moretti had a ninety
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: six ninety four. There was a ninety seven ninety three
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I believe that's what I scored it, and then ninety
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: eight two. But it was a good fight for him,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I thought it was a really good fight
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: for him. I thought it was competitive, and a young
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: fighter needs that, you know, a fighter that has potential,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: a fighter that could you know, make some noise. It
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: definitely needs that. And and so although I thought, you know,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: people some people were kind of putting ceiling, you know,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: it showed like it represented maybe a ceiling on him,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: which you know, who knows. Ultimately, maybe that will kind
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: of show to be true, but we don't know that
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: just yet. And you know, so it's one of those
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: where I'm like, huh, okay, things to know, right, And
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: then Sue Lecky, you know he did stop in his
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: last bout, so and I don't believe he had ever
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: been stopped if I remember correctly, I don't believe so anyway,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: So yeah, you know that was a good win. You know,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Sue like, he's a good fighter. You know I won.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't put him Matt Farr up there. He has
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: like his best win I think is cloque Jack Lokay,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: who's a tricky, crafty fighter. He's got some good wins.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Like I said, he's given you know, good showings out there.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: So I would say that was a positive win. And
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: anytime he can stop a guy that hasn't that, that's
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: a that's a known commodity to an extent inside the boxing.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe commodity is you know, people are gonna take that
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the wrong way or something like that. But yeah, I mean,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: you know, this guy looks the part as a as
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: a guy that can you know, not only just get
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a title fight, but you know, win a title and
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: quality means, and I believe that to be you know,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: a fair statement, right. I don't like to overdo it,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: but you know, his opponent, he doesn't have like that
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: oh shit, fight like that, Oh wow. You know, now
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: he's got a shiny record, Steven knows what I'm talking about,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: twenty zero, I think like fifteen sixteen something like that.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Knockouts and so you know, he's fought guys that we've
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: heard of. He's fucked guys that we know to an extent, right,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: But it's not something that you know, it's just like
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I said, he's a guy that came late to boxing.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: You know, he found it in the military. I think
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: he was like twenty or early twenties. I don't remember
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the exact you know, I don't remember the exact age
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: he got into it. I think it was the early
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: twenties or twenty. So you know, he had some catching
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: up to do. Nothing wrong with that, I mean, it
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: is if you're trying to, you know, be a professional
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: fighter on a high level. But he is a good fighter, right,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: He is pretty old though, you know, since he got
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: into it so late. You know, even if he were
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: able to like pull this upset, like just saying, like,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: straight up, I think he might be able to pull
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: it off. I just heading into this, although he did
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: get it. He did get a fight, you know, in
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. But I bring that up because he's
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: only had three fights since twenty twenty. So if you're
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: already you know, in a sense behind the eight ball
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: when it comes to this fight, it is tough, you know,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: to not be active like that, So that plays into
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: it as well. On the surface, Pacheco should beat him, right,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: He's he's just he's got more skills, he's a better
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: roll of our own fighter. He's more. He's just you know,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: he's he's a favorite for a reason. Right, A lot
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: of people over the last few years have really thought
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: highly of Pacheco, and I think he is a very
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: good fighter. I'm just I'm old, so I don't jump
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: on anything, you know, boss I I I don't know
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: why I said that. No, I just don't. I let
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: it happen first. But that said, you know, there's only
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I think last time I checked, there was only one
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: plus three hundred. The rest were in the two hundred.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: So it's not like he's got no shot at all,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I think Steven Nelson kind
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: of reminds me of like a blue collar guy, just
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: go in there and grind it out, and maybe he
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: can bring some of that mentality, you know, some of
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: that military mentality. I guess you could say and pull
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the upset, you know, is it? You know? Can he
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: not get stopped? I think I think he can make
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: it through. But I am gonna go Pachecko by decision.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I think there will be some rounds in there. I mean,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: would it be like, uh like eight to four, excuse me,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: something like that, Maybe maybe like nine to three. I
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: don't see it, see it being like at the end
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: of it, you go, well, that's like that could be
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: seven to five either guy. You know, I don't necessarily
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: see that, but I see a competitive fight. I think
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Nelson will bring it. You know, I don't think he's
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: gonna shrink under this, you know, his biggest fight of
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: his career, and you know, the other way, in a sense,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: it is Pacheco. It's a step up fight for him.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: So I do have Pachecko by decision even you know,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: like I said, if Nelson could pull that upset, I
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: think it's it's just the best opportunity for it. It's
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: just being more more. It would have to come with
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: more activity and probably like a bigger upset somewhere along
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: the lines before he got here, but especially the activity
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: into to do it for twelve rounds. I don't know, now,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not like Pacheco has been rounds after
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: rounds after round I mean recently he didn't get well.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I talked about that ten. He had a nine rounder
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: as well, But it's not like he's been deep in
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the fights a lot, I guess, you know, so that
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: there is that now on the flip side, you know,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: you can kind of say the same thing, which is,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: you know, so will we see around maybe even two,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: maybe a round where both of them are kind of
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: taking the round off, maybe we're one guy's taking the
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: round off. I could see that. I could definitely see
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: that another fight. Ernesto Mercado, who I'm really high on.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I think he's a good young now full on contender
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: in my mind, and I know I'll probably get some
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: some pushback from that. You know, maybe he was, you
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: know ever since he like I think he was my
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: prospect of the year last year if I remember correctly,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: and when he closed out the year with that win,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: that kind of gave it to him. You know, he
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: got three fights in, but he didn't necessarily have like
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: a step up fight. So this is by far his
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: most you know, experienced opponent obviously, and Padraza, and you
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: know Padraza. The last four fights, he has a knockout loss,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: two decision losses, in a split decision to Richard Kobe,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: you know Barbosa. You know, that was a competitive fight.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a competitive fight. Obviously, when you
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: have a draw, it's it's a pretty competitive fight. And
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: you know, I thought he had a fairly good showing
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: against Ramirez. It's hard to believe that that's gonna be
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: almost three years ago, and I'm just looking at it
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: right now. All three had eight to four. Jose sipot
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: all the way in twenty nineteen. While so yeah, I
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: mean he's he's one of those guys that you think
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: it's kind of the end of the line for him
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: at some point. Now you can. The thing about it
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: is you can you can shoot on pajaws and for
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: his record last four fights, but it's not like there
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: was some kind of major upset in there or something
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: where he was the favorite and he just left up
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: you could say that one where he had a draw.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: But and Kome at that time, you know, was on
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the down side, of course, but he still has the
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: ability to box. He's good with distance, his jab. He's
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: just a crafty fighter. He can bring the fight to you.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: He's kind of all over the place, you know, he's
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: kind of an all over the place type fighter. So
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I do like this fight for him. I'm really looking
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: forward to this fight for him. Actually, Mercado, he's been
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: on you know, he hasn't gone the distance in a while,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and that was like I think it was in the
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: summer two years ago. Yeah, yep, July twenty twenty three.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: So and that's coming off, you know, win over Lundy.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: So my thing is, I think Mercado's gonna win, but
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I think he's gonna see stuff that's gonna make him
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: think and have to make minor adjustments and that type
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: of thing. Because Petraza, although faded, no doubt about it,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: and you never know, like after the fight, he may
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: say I think it's my time, you know. And and
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: when you're taking on a rising contender like this, which
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Kishan was too, and I just think that there's an
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: outside chance that we may hear that. I like Mercado.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure about the knockout. This kid, young kid
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: who's explosive. You know, when there's blood in the water,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be in those in the water. You know,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: he's gonna kill maybe a late tea Kale Stoppage still
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: kind of still kind of up in the air of that,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: but I do favor Mercado to get the job down.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Andy Cruz also is on the UH is on the card. Actually,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: let me check, shoot, I just missed it. Let me
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: check pro boxing odds. Which is a great sight. By
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the way. It gives you a little variety of everything,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: so you can kind of see more than just one. Uh.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: You know, you have fan Duel, you have bet MGM
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Draft DraftKings in the lights. Where are with that? Where
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: it is? Sorry? This is great podcast. So yeah, I
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: mean padraz is even. I think it's gotten even wider. Now,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: oh maybe not at one, but there is a plus
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: nine hundred out there. I was looking more like seven hundred,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: eight hundred, you know, but there's a fifty that well
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: not now that actually went down, but plus nine hundred.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: So hey, man, if you believe that Mercado ain't shit,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: and petraz is the guy. Go for it, dude, you know,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: go for it. I mean, good luck with that, but
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: go for it. You know, do you I wouldn't do that,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: but you know, do you watch me come back next
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: week looking dumb with an upset? But yeah, to me,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: it is kind of just let's see what Marcado's got.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I feel like if he's gonna stop it, it will probably
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: be a late TKL. But Padraza is pretty crafty and
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know anyway omar Celesido. I think it is Salicido.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Matthew Cruse is fighting. He's coming off some pretty good wins.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously Chris Colbert, Colbert Colbert, Did I just
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: say that Chris Colbert? H he you know, he did
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: beat he knocked him out, actually, so he's kind of
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: like a kind of like a hot commodity for him.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: This is only Andy Cruz's fifth fight, So you know,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I do like this fight for him. You know, it's
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: a it's a it's a competitive guy and I think
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: he'll win. But you know, Cruz, I don't know. I
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I still am kind of all over the place with
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: with Andy Kruz to be honest with you, I can
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: see what some folks talk about where this guy's got
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of potential. And it's not just potential. You know,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: he's proven some of it just with his background obviously.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: And you know, for only having five fights, this guy's
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: for your fifth opponent. This dude's a good, good fighter.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I see Andy CRUs winning the fight. I think this
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: dude's like a plus five hundred if I remember correctly,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I do like that. I'm really interesting to
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: see how he handles this guy. This guy's coming in
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: with a little bit of confidence. He's fought some other
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: okay fighters, so he's got more experience than him. And
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I think the lowest is plus five hundred if I
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: remember correctly. Yeah, there is a plus five fifty that
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: just recently went down to. But I like Andy Kruz
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: on that. You know. As far as the top three fights,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: I do like the favorites pretty cleanly. The checko. Let's
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: see if he can knock him out, say but Mercado.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. I'm not gonna base it off
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: just that, you know what I mean. This weekend, probably
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the tightest fight is h Walker and uh Scarf Harry
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Scarf Walker is literally like lost one O five plus
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: one hundred. Even there is a plus one ten. There's
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: two of them, so like just on paper, that is
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the closest fight of the weekend. Well I suppose, yeah,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: there is one more. It's there is a tight one.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Where the hell is it? The site is kind of
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: freezing up right now, but there is another competitive book.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: But you know I say that right, and then certain
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: people just underachieved or overachieve and then all of a
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: sudden it's like whoa. You know, that was a that
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: was a huge d that I wasn't expecting that. There
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: is Eddie Alvarez and Jeremy Stevens. He's at Stephens is
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: a plus one hundred. So there's that too. So yeah,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I mean there that that card I was talking about.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: You know, Dalton Smith is fighting. I think he'll win.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: That's on the zone. Elie Skotene is fighting as well
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: on that same card. ESPN Plus has a card too
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: with Omar Chavez and Miss Sally Rodriguez. Maybe something to
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: check out there. And then the other one I was
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: talking about, the the Checko Nelson that that is on
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: his own as well on Saturday. So it's really pretty
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: heavy to zone. Now. Probox does have a fight coming
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: up tomorrow and i've kind of and by the way,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: the Anyway fight against Kim that'll be on ESPN Plus,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: and that's what it is. The is it the the
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Wanta one time to be in the Horror or something
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: like that or Darrari Let me let me check that
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: one is actually a close fight. That fight that's a
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: that's like a one thirty if I remember correctly. Yeah,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: it's still freezing up. I don't know what the hell's
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: going on. I think I think it's BE. I think
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: it's I think it's BE. So it's one of those
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: weekends where boxing is just kind of rounding back into form,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: you know, usually because we had those, you know, the
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Japanese New Year's fights, they went down. But we've had
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: some action here in the few first few weeks of January.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: But I think we've been spoiled by some of these
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: starts as far as in January, especially where we'll have
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: two maybe three cards you're like, oh shit, this is
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: all you know. So on one hand, it's like after
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Usik Fury, there's been this large gap and I've noticed
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: people kind of tuning out, not talking about as much.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Some people take this break like well, some people take
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: it as a positive, like, hey, I just refreshed myself.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I can't wait for this weekend. That's kind of where
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I'm at, Like, hey, usually we're not taking this long
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: of a break. And even in my podcast right that,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: like I mentioned that Usik Fury was doing really well,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to step on it. I let it,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: you know, allowed it to have some more legs, and
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: I just kind of waited. I thought that Japanese card
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: would happen, and then it didn't, So I just kind
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: of waited to do my year end. So many people
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: were doing it. I figure that why not wait a
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: little bit. But I gotta admit I'm and then other
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: people are looking at it like negatively, like dude, boxing
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: is in a rough spot in some ways, it is
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: in other ways. There's a lot of potential though, but
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: we need twenty twenty five to be a great year.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: We really do for boxing. So because we we've been
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: on fire for a while, last year it felt like
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: it peaked. So yeah, like I said, I'm refreshed, I
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: cannot wait for this this weekend, and just in general
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: because then you know, we get Dennevitas and realm that
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: under card, and then we get the February twenty second
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: with a bunch of fights on there, but Turba and
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: uh the Fall the rematch, which is very intriguing. So yeah,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm definitely like refresh rush, can't wait for
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: this weekend type stuff. And I am happy that boxing
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: is back. And like I said, there's been stuff going on.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: There's stuff that went on last week, and it's not
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: like there's nothing. But you know, I always say it
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: sometimes on these weekends, man, shit will just pop off
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: or even you know, you've seen a really good knockout
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: or whatever, you know, where you're just not expecting much
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: speaking of and not expecting much. We're gonna get to
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: the bigger news, right, but I did not. This one
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: kind of shook me. Keith Thurman is coming back against
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Brock Jarvis. Okay, he's a really quality Okay, I'll stop.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: It's in Australia, it's down Under and it's coming up
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: in March, just short of a year from last year
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: when he was scheduled to fight. You know, he's been
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: he'll have been out of the ring over three years now,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: he had like partial camps and he stayed in and
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I'm doing the parenthes. He stayed in shape. You know,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: it is what it is. You know, I don't. It's
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: it's cool, like we'll see. It does sound like they're
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: gonna get tim a fight or not and just let
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: him go to Thurman after that fight. That I don't
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: know obviously, if tim Zu wants to come back and
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: keep his you know, not come back, he is going
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: to keep fighting. But if he wants to keep fighting,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: gotta get back on the horse sometime. And so Keith
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Thurman name recognition wise and just being out of the
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: ring for so long that happened, so many injuries, it's
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: still a name that you can build off of get
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: your confidence back. So I've always like Keith Thurman as
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: a fighter. But yeah, this I wasn't. I wasn't expecting this,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it sounds like in the summer Thurman get
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: a fight, then Timson and him pop off. So yeah,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: that kind of it did surprise me though, I got admit,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I was like, huh wait what now, what what's just happened?
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: And then we now know you bank Junior and and
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: and color Ben is official Liam Smith and McKenna is
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: on the undercard, uh Yard and and and Arthur again
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: is on the undercard. So yeah, we we know that.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: And to me, it is what it is with that fight.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: I understand why it's a big fight in the UK,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: and it is in its rightful place. So that's cool.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: It'll drop big crowd. I'll have more to say about
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: that after the fight when I see what really happens
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: in the fight per se. But but it just it
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: doesn't I'm not like jazzed up from it, you know
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: what I mean. I'm not like, oh shit, dude, they're fighting,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: But I am that way for Ennis and Stanius. That's
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: a great fight. You know. In some ways, Boots has
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: gotten some ship that I think some of it's rightfully so,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: based off of him saying he wanted he wants bigger
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: fights and and he used an excuse of not looking
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: good in his last fight because of the way and
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: that's just the fact he did do that. He did
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: do that. Now, I think some piling on has occurred
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: too with Boots and even you know with this fight,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: well they didn't actually fight, but even with the potential
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: the negotiations, let's say with Brian Norman Junior. That had
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with him. As far as why that fight.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: You know, there's two people you could point to and
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: lay blame, and that's Norman or Eddie Hearn or end
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: or however you want to look at that. Norman will see,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: you know, if he ever gets like a big fight
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: that would pay him that much. You know, we talked
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: about this with Tank or not now with Tank, but
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: with Frank Martin and how you know, he wanted a
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: little bit more for the score fight, but he also
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: had a fight in the cut where he could make
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: more money, which he did. You know, that's different. He's
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: not fighting Fima Lopez next, I'll say that. But anyway,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: so Boots didn't get piled on. I think there's some
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: criticism there for him, no doubt, and I did criticize
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: him in some form, but I thought he got piled
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: on too. So Boots in Stantonius, Man, that's a great fight.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: I've been saying it for a long time that this
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: is the fight at one seven. So your first unification
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: at one forty seven is the best fight on paper.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to that, and it's not gonna
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: be an easy fight. But I'm really happy that that's happening,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: very happy, And it looks like Atlantic City, which that's
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: kind of interesting. There is it April? Was it again
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: April twelfth or something like that. I can't remember. I'm
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: just excited about the fight. I forgot the damn date
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: um check. Actually, yeah, I think it's the twelfth. I
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: think it's April twelfth in Atlantic City. So that's a
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: great fight and I'm glad that because we all know
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: that Boots needed it on this fight because his first
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: opponent under the deal was like, really, dude, second opponent,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: it's not a fight that we were anticipating, but it
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: was a competitive fight, so I couldn't couldn't do too
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: much complaining about there. But he just needed that one,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, he really really needed that one.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: So I'm happy for that, and I'm happy for Stanonius because,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: like I said, you know, illness and issues on both
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: sides of Virgil Ortiz Instantonious came in to play, so
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: that that's why that fight didn't happen. So he he
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: was looking for a big fight and that's a great fight.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to it. And like I said,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: although the first couple of weeks, we haven't had that
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: big fight. We got a big name fighting this weekend anyway,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: but you know, he ain't fighting anyone, so it's not
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: like it's something you get overly excited about. Obviously, when
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: he's in the ring, it's exciting regardless, but you know
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: what I mean. So, yeah, that's another great fighting. Like
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: I said, like this weekend and on, it's really heating
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: up and then we have well, let let's let's stick
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: to this, okay. So it appears that Ryan Garcia and
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Devin Haney are on a collision course for a rematch,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: but they're not going right to the rematch. And I
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: have a couple of views on this one. Let's just
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: see the fucking rematch because they'll be equally out of
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: the ring for the same amount of time, so it's
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: not like one fighter gotta fight in then the other
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: fight din or something like that. Now, my other thought
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: is if they both get through their next fights to
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: have a camp, to have a fight, and then to
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: have another camp, you'll probably get a better product in
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: the ring when they actually do fight. Now, someone could lose,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: someone could get a really bad cut, and it gets delayed,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: you know, or not even a cut, but like, because
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: it's gonna happen in May. I think the rematch is
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: October if I remember correctly, So that's plenty of time
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: for a cut to hell moren't likely, but get injured
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: and then that pushes back, so preferably, I'd rather than
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: just get right into the rematch because it's fair and
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: even you know, both guys have been out, it's up
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: to them on how they treated their body. So that's
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: the only disappointing part. But if it means they're gonna
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: fight again, it was a pretty big event. It drew
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of attention. Obviously the rematch is gonna draw
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of a tent and given the lawsuit, the
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: drug testing and all that stuff. But I will say this,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: even though Jose Ramirez is definitely not in his prime,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: it's a much tougher fight for Devin. Haney didn't roll
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: ye for Garcia. I do think that he got the
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: easier fight. Isak Cruz was was rumored pretty heavily. They
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: were talking about a catchweight, but it's not happened, so yeah,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: kind of. And I heard it's gonna be on a
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: Friday in May, so does that mean like a blockbuster
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: weekend and Canelo's gonna fight that weekend two because otherwise
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: is that like it's either that or you know, Turkey's
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: trying to gain some leverage on Canelo or something. I
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not really sure that that's a funky
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: time to do it right before Canelo fight, but you know,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: it is what it is. I mean, if Canelo's gonna
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming he's gonna fight, may you know, who knows,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he won't, but so yeah, I mean they
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: might as well just go right to it. I think,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: like I said, I think Ramirez, although he doesn't have
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: the power of Ryan Garcia, I do think you'll see
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: a motivated Hey if I try to bully this dude
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: and beat him up. He does have some defensive issues
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: and facing a come forward a fighter with the decent
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: jab and it knows what he's doing in the rings. A.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: He's a pretty solid operator, that's for sure. Hose An beers,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: like I said, he's not in his prime anymore, but
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: he's still a really solid fighter. So I think it
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: has a lot harder fight, like I mentioned, but I
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: think that's a good fight for Devin many as well.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Obviously Ramer's and Garcino fight the same. But yeah, I
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: it is what it is. You know, if they put
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: it on pay per view, then I then it'd be like,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: well seriously, like it's like an inframocial mercial. Then you
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: know it's like that uh that Canelo Chavis Junior infomercial
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: before you know, we got glovekin to me. That's my
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: that's my that's my thing. That's my opinion. Now it
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: does sound like, according to Bob Aram through Fight Hype,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: that the Sadi's are offering Tale Fema Lopez, you better
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: take these damn fights. Tale. It basically like a potentially
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: three fight deal. So and the way Aaron says it,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: it's like, we're good, we like our cut. It's totally
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: up to Tale Femo. And the first one would be
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Richardson Hitchins, and it says the second one would be Ennis,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: but obviously Stanonius would have something to say about that,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: and then they say that the third one it would be
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Garcia Haney. And actually the way this was put winner loser,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: well not winner, Garcia Hane winner. But the thing is,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's exactly that easy. Right. I already
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: mentioned Ennis does have to get past his fight. First
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: of all, Tao has to get past Richardson Hitchens too,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Let's not forget that. And Hitchins is a boxer, and
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: we know that he doesn't have as much you know,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: he doesn't look as good against certain boxes like guys
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: that box per se. So let's you know, slow down.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: And then also the Garcia Haney. From my understanding, Garcia
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Hane is actually a I guess both of them would
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: be a three fight deal in a sense two so
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: like there's a rematch in there now whether that rematch happens,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: and and part of this is him having to drop
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: his lawsuit according to Oscar Do de la Hoya and
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: his clap back recently. So I mean, I don't know
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: if the Lopez would be it go right into that
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: third fight, because maybe if Hani beats Garcia, then maybe
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: there'd be another fight. Maybe the purses are so big
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: they're just gonna do another rematch, you know, I don't know,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: maybe it's a closer fight or something. I don't know.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: I really don't know, but but yeah, that that is
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: something that, like I said, not crazy about them fighting
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: fights before it. And I do think Hany got screwed
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: now he's the he was the loser of the fight.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: We know there's there was you know, there's other layers
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: to it, right because the filed drug test. But uh yeah,
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: I mean Rollie Garcia, like I understand why they're doing it.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: And these aren't horrendous fights or anything like that. If
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: they're okay fights the rogue fight and you know, garciaan
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Rolie will make it fun that way. But yeah, are
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: they gonna sell us as a paper view or is
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: it just gonna be straight up and then the paper view?
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: That's what I would like to know. So yeah, we'll
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: see when it comes to that. You know, if in
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: fact that's how it's gonna go down, I don't know,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: we'll see that. We gotta get there. Like I said, injuries,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: When you when you talk about these are my next
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: three fights, it it kind of gets funky, you know
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: what I mean. And I'm going through my messages right now.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Someone said Pao stopped Ron Garbage or Jarvis in the
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: first round. He did a couple of years back. It's
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: either like or twenty three something like that. I think
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: it was twenty two, but some somewhere in that realm.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and it also I heard Robert Garcia talk
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: about Roderiguez Ben Roberts is gonna be back in May,
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: and then he kind of teased, uh, junto Nakazani. So
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: maybe that's where that fight is going. By the way,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Brandon Norman Junior in Quevos or Quevas has been rescheduled
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: this as IDAC for Mayor and Sandy michaela Mayor and
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Sandy Ryan undercard in Las Vegas. So and Mayor and
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Ryan is a great rematch fight. I'm really looking forward
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: to that. That's a that's a good ass fight. So yeah,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: that that's just a little bit of news there. Let's see.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: Jake Donovan, Oh no, Bug Williams says Top Rank released
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: Abraham Nova. Jake Donovan clarified in saying told that Nova
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: and his team will play the free agent market and
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: that working with Top Rank again on a fight by
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: fight basis is not out of the question. So there's that.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, so there is some And by the
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: way that Keith Thurman and Tim Zue it will be
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: a non pay per view so on you know, reportedly
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: on Amazon Prime, non pay per view. You know, we'll
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: see about that. So that that's good that's good and
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: it does. So I'm hearing enough cards now that I'm
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: feeling more confident, confident that it's not just gonna be
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: pay per views like it was for the most part anyway,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: uh this year, right, So for the for Amazon and PBC. Now,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: speaking of there's this groundbreaking news that people are talking
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: about when it comes to the BBC, and of course,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: you know, the normal up they're going out of business.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: You know, this, that and the others is ground shaking
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: and it's gonna you know, Twitter's gonna go nuts, right,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Twitter's always fucking going nuts in this scenario anyway. But yeah,
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: that's basically what the news is that there's news out
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: there that's you know, an announcement's coming and and it's
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: gonna blow people's minds. And a lot of people think
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: that it's the PBC got bought out by Sadi by Turkey,
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: right or some sort of you know, he Turkey mentioned partner, right, partnership.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: I got to talk to my partners in a tweet
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: in the and he mentioned PBC. Now they have partnered
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: on events. You know. It's not like like there was
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: a fight card that was available on Amazon, you know,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: so it's not like none of their fighters for the
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: PBC has done anything with them now they just had.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: We haven't heard an announcement of an agreement together and
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: when it came to any kind of tournament or league
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: or just doing more than what Turkey and Sadi have done,
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: like they did a lot on the heavyweight division. They
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: made fights that like Abaturviev and before that wasn't gonna
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: get made without them. They've done some of that. The
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: five for five has potential. I don't know, you know,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, we'll see if they because
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: they have to keep them like originally five for five.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: I don't want it to keep getting watered down and
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: dudes sign and females sign with you know, with promoters
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: just to fill in the spot and stuff like that. No,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: if it's a good fight, it's a good fight. You know,
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: I'm never gonna complain about that. But you know, there
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: is something to be said about, well is this that
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: because it doesn't feel like it is you know what
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, a true five for five, you know, so
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: we'll see, you know, knocking that theory around. But there's
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: people that say PBC are done. They're just done, and
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: they've been saying that, you know, the PBC came along
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: in March twenty fifteen, which is fucking crazy, dude. Think
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: about that, less than two months, it'll be fucking a
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: decade since the PBC dropped. That's fucking nuts. I can
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: remember reporting it like it was yesterday, But about six
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: months into that there was just heavy ratings talk, bottom
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: line talk, investors gonna lose their money talk, you're not
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: making any money on the events talk. You don't hear
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: that when it comes to other producers like you know,
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: or other like just selling Matchroom when Matchroom popped off,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: you're not hearing it. With Saudi, we hear that they
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: don't care about profit. Cool, then don't put the shit
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: on pay per view, you know, and make it available
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: on Amazon and ESPN Plus and all that. You know,
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: that's what it should be. Now. Could it be a
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: partnership where PBC gets more dates from a new outlet
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: or platform or network, whatever the fuck you want to
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: call it these days, or you know, an upgrade in
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: their current deal with Amazon and it's like SADI backing
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: but it's on Amazon, you know. Could those you know, well,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: like movie like promos that are on Twitter. Could that
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: be on Amazon, you know, as a way to promote
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: the fight, you know that type of thing now. And
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: I've always said, if you want to really get it,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: if you really want to do this, like for the Sadis,
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: you'd have to buy up all the entities, you know,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: or at least partner with them. And I've always said that.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: I've always said that ever since so Saetis came longer,
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: or even before the Sadis said, you know, the ultimate
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: fix and obviously being able to being more like a
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: team sport, which it's a bunch of individual fighters, a
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: bunch of individual managers, promoters, trainers, blah blah blah. Right,
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: so networks. So when you have sports together, a team sports,
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: I mean there's if you look at tennis, there's individual
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, but but there's people, there's leadership, there's leadership,
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: there's unions. It's all tied together. So I have inklings
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: of what it could be. But I'm not gonna sit
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: there and say I know for a fact. Have I
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: heard multiple things? I have, But I'm not gonna sit
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: here and say I know exactly what the deal is
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: because I don't just do that, you know, if I
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: don't know I don't know. I have inklings, but it's
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: not a it's not a for sure thing, but I
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: don't know. It is gonna be funny if it is,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: you know, Turkey and the PBC together and they get
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: a deal together with something like Amazon or whatever, like
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: they have a partnership in the Amazon's behind it. Because
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know right whatever it is, maybe it's a
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: different place. Just you wait to see how many fighters
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: get dogged as PBC fighters and then all of a
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: sudden get praised. If you look at certain fighters that
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: went on the zone that would just get dog walk
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: all up and down alleys in Twitter, Twitter allies, and
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: then once they went over there, it's like, oh dude,
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: that you know they talk about someone's defense and it
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: would be like, you know, per no whitaker the type
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: defense and shit like that out of nowhere. So you
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: will see that if in fact that is the case.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: And I've always said for quite some time, I will
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: not shovel dirt on Al Hayman in the PBC because
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: every time, you know, I remember the last time it
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: was mounting up like this was in twenty eighteen and
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: they ended up with a network deal. So like I
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: said six months into it. There was so much criticism,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: and some of it was constructive. Some of it was
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: just blatantly biased and way over the top. And we
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: didn't get that and we still don't get that on
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: new entities or existing entities in the sport. It's just
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: we've never seen that like that in the last whatever
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: chunk of years. I'm not saying overall, but you know,
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: it's it was blatant, and that's why I keep talking
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: about it over the years because it was so blatant.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: And so yeah, if in fact he sells it off
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: and he ls out of the business or whatever it is,
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: what it is, you know, this is boxing, but I
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: won't be the one shoveling dirt on the grave. And
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: because you know that's the thing some of these and
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: most of our dudes on the internet like they may
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: get something and right, but they've been wrong so many
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: times that it's like, DD, you're just throwing ship up
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: on the wall. You know. Anyway, I'm gonna move on.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Do just go through some of these messages. This is bug. Williams.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Dorticos enters the New w b A rankings at eleven,
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: good indication that he will not step aside and will
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: pursue zero. And I think that's a good fight. I
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: know Opataia is there and that's a big fight too,
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: of course, But yeah, that's kind of interesting. That's that's
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: kind of interesting. Oh, by the way, I have a question.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: So the first card Ring Magazine card and I talked
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: about this before, it's gonna be Ring Magazine Fatal Fury,
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: City of Wolves in it. Now. Is that so that's
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: a Is that a video game? Because I see the
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: cover of it and it looks like a video game thing,
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: anime video game type vibe to it. So is that
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: like a partnership there? Is that like a way to
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: get some money for the event, and then they could
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: call it that And because if if so, that's kind
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: of cool. I kind of like that. Just just a
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: side note. Basically, let's see Jake Donovan purse bid heads alert.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: The Ring Magazine has confirmed the IBF has ordered the
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: purse bid for Mattias and Vealezuela for one for title
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: eliminator hearing scheduled February fourth. Both sides can still reach
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: a deal before that time, so we'll see what happens there. Oh,
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: here's Keith aideck. He put it really well, no one
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: with real sources or any knowledge whatsoever what transpires in
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: this business of daily basis, in the business on a
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: daily basis needed to inquire about turkey buying PBC idiotic
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: nonsense spread by frauds who rather sadly have nothing to
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: do or nothing better to do. I reiterate, Halloween is
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: in October. I don't know. So it is funny though,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: like the PBC. This is some of the comments. The
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: PBC isn't worth a plug nickel. What's there to buy?
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: What would someone buy from the BBC? It's just like,
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: this is what kind of knuckleheads are out there, as
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: if there's no commodity whatsoever in that. But yeah, whatever,
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: that's just how ignorant people talk or think or listen
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: to the wrong people whatever. I guess that was. Someone
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: sent me a picture of just a god awful looking sandwich.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if that's beef for what. It
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: looks that red peppers too, It looks like American just
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: and they said I just bought this, and they were
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: at like a football game in the UK. Yeah that's uh.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: And they're from the UK and they were like even
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: I have to say, this is a messed up picture.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: You know, it looks appetizing. Every culture has their own
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: things that you know doesn't look good to other people
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: until you taste it, and some of it isn't good whatever.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: You know, it's all about where you know, what you
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: raised on, what you have experienced in your life. People
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: you eat, different foods you eat. But yeah, that sandwich
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: in the garbage. So copy and box man Tank told
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: him he'll be calling out his next opponent after roach,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: something that he doesn't necessarily do, so I wonder so
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: he already knows who he's gonna try to fight, So
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: that's what that tells me. So, according to The Ring Magazine,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: the WBC is reaffirmed that the winner of David Benevitez
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: and David Morrell on February first will be the WBC
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: mandatory challenger for the winner of arturo Urbyev and Dmitri
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: it Befall on February twenty second. So yeah, so there's that.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: If that happens, cool, if not not cool, but yeah,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not holding my breath, but damn that would be
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: the ship We'll see, by the way, shouts out to
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: brunch boxing as I always. Matt posted the ticket prices to
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: get in ticket prices, the ticket prices to get in
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: the building for beturbievan Bivel Bevoal twenty six sixty seven
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: and for Lusik fury Is thirteen thirty three, and he
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: asked the question, will Turkey Alashik bring these affordable ticket
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: price points for the type of these type events to
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: the US. That's a fair question. I don't think he will,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: but it's a fair question. It also shows you how
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: when you call Saudi Arabia the home of boxing like
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: it's Las Vegas, it's kind of like, really, dude, if
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: it's the home of it, then why the fuck don't
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: people go there at high levels to watch the fights,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: great fights of them allh yeah, for sure. I mean
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: that car coming up February twenty second, Hell yeah, dude,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: sign me the fuck up for that car. But you know,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: it is what it is. But hey, yeah, cheap tickets,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: that's cool. I'll never complain about cheap tickets, aster dam scure.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: But when it's twenty five dollars to get in as
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: the cheapest ticket to the armory, then then people are
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: gonna freak out and make fun of it. By the way,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: Dalton Smith, someone sent me this. Dalton Smith, assuming he wins,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: which I think he will, is basically getting close in
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: line because he's a silver cham from the WBC. And
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: as we know, Sandor Martin and Alberto Playu will be fighting.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: And so maybe you know play who got the upgrade.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: The number one is Martin. So maybe just maybe because
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of times you get upgraded, you're owed a
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: mandatory now a fair amount of times, not every time,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: and step aside money come in there. But Dalton Smith,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: maybe he's eye in that winner. That's a fair point.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: That is a fair point. I do. I do like that.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: Someone else sent me a h Martin been enjoying that
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: SADDI money by the Yeah, Martin mccoley, he did look
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: a little he had a little extra on. I will
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: say that Richardson Hitchins had an IG post saying, f
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: U Tail, I'm coming for all the belts, pussy, this
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: shit's coming back to Brooklyn because you're not from Brooklyn
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: for real. Keith tell him, tell the boy, that boy
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: to sign the contract. And he is now with Keith Conley,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: like half of a partnership is with Keth Conley. So
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: That's why I do think that fight will happen, by
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: the way, and that's a really good fight. I like
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: that fight. I really like that fight. More about Keith Thurman. Yeah,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: I mean I don't know, same same thing whatever. Milton
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: Wright will fill in by the way tomorrow because Kashawn
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: Davis's album with an injury. So that's like a little
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: bit of update there on that pro box. Oh yeah,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: and here's here's a fight Sebastian Fandora and Cordell Booker.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: Cordell Booker obviously, you know, Fandora kind of got wrapped
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: up into the Spence thing. Now Crawford's saying, oh, you
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: should have you know, you should have taken the fight
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: when he had it. But Crawford maneuvered himself into being
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: able to get that fight. But he also maneuvered himself
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: to be able to get the Canelo fight. Just a case.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: And in no way do I think that he ducked him.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying at all. So don't even say that
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: I think Crawford knocks Fandora out, But he did. He
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: maneuvered to get in line, but he also maneuvered to
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: make sure he could fight, you know, Canelo. So long
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: story short. You know, Fandora, like I said, he he
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: you know, he got like a big win in his
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: career when a lot of people when he was fighting
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: at the Minneapolis Armory, a lot of people were shipping
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: on him. Actually, and you know, obviously the Mendoza thing
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: was was pretty crazy, right, it was like whoa. The
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: way I look at it is like he fought Mendoza,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: gotta win, and then like it took a while for
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: him to get in the ring again, and now he
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: hasn't been in the ring and by the time he
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: fights about a year. So it is what it is, like,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and talk about that fight
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: like that's a great fight, you know, because it's not.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: And of course you could say it's disappointing, you know,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: when you have Babraham right there to unify and that
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: type of thing. There's a better fight and hopefully that's
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: the next fight, hopefully, because Fandora has been itching to
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: get back. He was a little you know, it was
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: a little delayed based off of injuries, right, and then
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: you know, and then now he you know, he's not
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: getting the fight. So unfortunately he's not getting that fight
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: with Spence, so for him anyway, So maybe they're just saying, hey, dude,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: let's get this guy out. You know, Crawford and Spence
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: or potential fights didn't happen. Let's get him out and
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: then get him in a bit fight next and hopefully
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: that's what it is, and it you know, I I
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. I'm not. I'm not a
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: huge fan of it. I like Booker and everything, but
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit there and tout it. Obviously, it
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: sounds like it's you know, right now, it's reported as
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: being finalized and Mertez Mertzlavia, how do you say his
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: name while you have something like that back ram? He said,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: the guy is hiding behind belts. It's hard to fight
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: a coward, so he wanted to fight. And also Jake
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: Donovan talked about Elijah Garcia and Torell Garchet will service
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: the co feature and it will be a prime show
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: straight up, he said, previously reported by hiding, so you
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: know it's in Las Vegas, it appears, so you know,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not. I'm not gonna sit here and
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: say it's just a horrendous fight, but it's not the
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: fight I would, you know, was looking forward to, to
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: be honest with you, obviously that's pretty uh, that's pretty obvious.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: But you know, hopefully he gets that. You know, it's
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: a big matchup next. You know, he's really you know,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: since two thousand twenty three. He thought once, then one
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: or like, yeah, I think once that year, once the
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: next year, like last year. It obviously he was hurt,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: but we thought he'd already be in the ring, or
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: at least scheduled in the ring, and that didn't happen.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: So now it appears that he's going to fight, and
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: hopefully they get him a big fight next. You know,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: we'll see. But it is what it does. I guess
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: this is also funny someone sent me. I don't know
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: who tweeted it because cut off the line, but it
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: says Thurman was two weeks away from being eligible for
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: Boxing Hall of Fame ballot. I thought it was five years.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't think it was three. Did they change that?
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: I thought it was five years? Interesting? But yeah, he
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: says now he's going back on her. Yeah that's funny,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: but yeah, did wasn't it five years? I could have
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: sworn it was five years? Do Caroline Dubois said, very
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: disappointed in Terry Harper for turning down big money for
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: our fight. She doesn't want it. Terry Harper said, I'm
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: a three weight world champion with two hundred thousand and
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: two hundred thousand for an all British unification on seven
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: week notice. It's not enough money for me to risk
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: my health making weight for what I remember my promoter
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: offered boxer twice that much for uh NJ rematch. Pay
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: me may worth with fair notice and you'll have a fight.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: That's that's fair. I don't think that's all that all
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: that crazy. Paul Magno, he said, we're gonna get whiplash
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: from how quickly people's opinions change on PBC fighters. Yeah,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: that that's assuming what people think, Yes, exactly, Matt Brunch
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: boxing Matt Brown. The news that everyone is being vague
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: about on the timeline is that supposedly Turkey has reached
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: an agreement to purchase PBC. Let's see, nobody wants to
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: have the balls to stand on it, though, because the
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: same one said Dana White bought the BBC and it
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: never happened. And by the way, that tweet. Now let's
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: talk mainstream boxing media. Narratives that make no goddamn sense.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: That shit was great. I mean, I learned some stuff
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't know. Herring, you know, had had prior priors
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: when it comes to this stuff. I didn't know that.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that, never heard that, barely ever talked
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: about just in general. But yeah, that's that's check out
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: that that that Twitter thread. Dude, he was going off.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't just to go off, to go off
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: and and only create engagement, right, he was fucking bringing facts, dude,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: bringing the facts. Okay, Oh, here's another one sidebar on
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: mainstream boxing media. You got these big, flat platforms that
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: constantly still stories from smaller platforms without credit accreditation. I
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: had one reporter who confronted who I when confronted about
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: still in my story and literally said, what I'm supposed
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: to give credit m v O. I'm supposed to give
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: credit MVO from Twitter? Yes, dude, you are. Yeah, that's
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: the thing. And when it comes to like Twitter, when
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: it comes to YouTube, like I said before, the YouTube
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: boxing community started in the oh's, you know what I mean,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: and a lot of mainstream dudes in media would just
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: dogg it like it wasn't shit, and like, oh, I
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: don't give a shit, and now they all got YouTube
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: fucking channels. It's just funny to me. So yeah, oh,
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: by the way, Omari Jones. According to Eddie Hearn, we
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: won the race. Welcome to the team, Next American to
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: the next American Superstar, Omar Jones. So he signed, he
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: signed with them. He won the bronze medal and it
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: sounds like March fifteenth it's gonna be his debut. So
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: we'll see where that goes. But yeah, like I said,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: I did not no thanks to that. In brunch boxing,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: Jamal Herring multiple conviction convictions and domestic vins dating back
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: to two thousand and nine. Holy fuck, I didn't know that.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: I really didn't know. And then people sending me crazy
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: incoming boxing news. Shit's gonna pop off, It's gonna end
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: the whole, you know, all sorts of shit. You know,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: they keep sending me that. By the way, according to
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: Chaba Salvador Rodriguez ESPN, they're about to finalize a rematch
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: between Williams the Beta and Tevin Farmer for March twenty nineteen.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: Kantcun I like that fight. Competitive ass fight Farmer, even
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: though I doubted him farmer, and I doubted him even
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: the fight before that. To be honest with you, he fought,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: you know, a hell of a fight. I like that rematch.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: I know, you know people who have said some shit
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: about it or whatever. I like that fight. Nothing wrong
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: with that, and especially if she scores next. You know,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: here's Fred, He says. All those guys that wrote articles
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: on how boxing events that lose money are bad for
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: the sport are going to ignore the Cannellan Crawford event.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: The event is going to cost two hundred million. Even
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: if Turkey Jack's up, the price is going to lose big.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: Don't guarantee crazy purses. Yeah, it is. It is funny
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: how that works. It is funny. Now here's fight Hub,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: here's tail. Kate needs to let his pride and egot,
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: let go of his pride and ego, play business, bro,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: if you really want to fight, fight us, that's how
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: it has to go. I mean, is he looking in
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: the mirror, because yeah, dude, how about you, you know,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: let go of your pride and ego. If we're playing
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: in business, mister Floyd has to move off of my date. Mister.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: We got j Lo, mister, We're gonna do two million
• 1:16:09

• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: drunking the lobby after his first loss to Gambosa's talking
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: about now, Floyd's always going to have it. You know,
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: He's always going to be to say we lost, like
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: you were even close to Floyd? Man, Like the fuck
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: out of here, dude, All right back to normal. Oh
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: another great see brunch boxing, Man, you got it. You
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: gotta check it out. Okay. They had an interview with Samson,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: and you know, the narrative out there was that you
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: know Edwin Delo Santos was being shelfed. Meanwhile, dude had
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: a blood clot in his leg. So once again, all
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: you would have had to do is go ask. Now,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: you're not always going to get the answer, and maybe
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: someone is going, you know, through something in their life
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: that they're not going to give you all the details.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: But at least you know, there's a good chance you'd
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: know that, hey, he's not available for a reason, you know.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I uh yeah, that that's that was part
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: of that great interview. I mean, hell yeah, that that's
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: where it's at. Man, That's where it's at. Do do
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: do do? Do? What else? We got? Oh? So Turkey
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: was with Crawfording, well, he was with Crawford and then
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: on the other end of the the zoom. I assume
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: I guess maybe it was a skype, but I'm assuming
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: you assume they were talking, right, you got Canelo and
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: you got is this fighting happened September and Turkey has
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: posted this, So he said, I posted a response because
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: the rumors of finalizing the deal. This is from a
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: few days ago. We are not talking about boxing. We
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: talked about the video game Fatal Fury City of Wolves,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: which will launch the twenty fourth of April. I challenged
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: them in the game. This is the only thing I
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: could challenge them when you know, relation to combat, and
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: they accepted it.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: So so yeah, we've decided that we don't do We
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: don't do the boxing fight because all three of us
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: hate boxing.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: We decided to choose yoga instead. Yes, just that got
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: goofy at the end there. But so what we'll see,
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, We will see what's up
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: with that if that fight gets made. Are they gonna fight?
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: I've heard rumors about his next that they may both
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: take in between fights. I don't know, not sure how
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: that's gonna go. I've heard. I haven't heard much from
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: the Canelo side as far as who his next opponent
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: would be. But when you talk about, hey, Crawford and Canelo,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: we're gonna fight, okay when in May, No it's September.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: Are we just gonna wait for it then? Or what?
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: What's that? Because that that's a little frustrating. But when
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: you know that you want to make a lot of
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: money and they're saying it would be here, I think
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: maybe it would be in Sadi if the Saudis are involved.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: They're saying, now, it has to be in there, and
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: that's you know, Turkey's own stuff like the ring magazine
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: and in the ring you know, in the ring promoting
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: now it's a promotional company or whatever that if if
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: it's not in the Sadi, then he'd be putting up
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: the money or maybe he gets some of the money.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: But at the rest, I don't know. But if you
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: want to get any if you want to have you know,
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: a solid amount of revenue coming for that fight, because
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: it will do a gate, huge, huge gate, and it
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: will do pavery numbers. Now some people are saying two million.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: That ain't happening, But you know it's hopefully it happens here.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: If it's gonna happen, But who are they gonna fight
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: in the meanwhile? Like I said, I've only seen the
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: Crawford side of it. Uh, I've seen a couple of
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: people list, you know, list possible opponents. He'd fight just
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: to get a fight near that way. Here's Adrian Delgado,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: well worth a follow. The man knows his business. Interested
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: in seeing how Crawford handles Canelo's physicality. Can those power,
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: timing and bodywork might be too much, but this version
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: of can throws single shots could allow Crawford to box
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: effectively from the outside. Just think that, but has little
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: room for air. I agree with that. I agree with that. Now, Naji,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: who's doing a great job ever since he entered the
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: sport of boxing, Okay, no, no shade, but he said,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: if Terrence Crawford beats Canalo, he's top five ever in
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: the sport of boxing. Ain't no debate either. That's just
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: not true, dude, that's not true. Like I said, got
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: a love for you know, got a lot of love
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: for Nagy, Glad he's in the sport. But that's just
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: not true. Now, he did say at least top ten
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: I still don't put Crawford in the top ten all
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: the time, but it is what it is. I think, Yeah,
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: I've seen this is the boxing source potential, a re
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: hot season schedule, and a lot of it just kind
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: of involves like like you could, I don't know, like
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: you can kind of tell that he's like, well, I
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: gotta sell some kind of papers here because he's trying
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: to get Garcia and that Hani and Canelo and all that.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: But if it's like the split, like I don't know,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: I just don't think the build to the neck, like
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: having both fighters like I mentioned, fight on the same
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: card when it's Roly though, it's like, dude, Roly, that's
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: your fight. To get to me, it's like we talk
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: about the potential for people to change boxing, right, well,
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: this is just the run of the mill shit here.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I do think Jose Ramirez is a
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: pretty good test for Hani, uh, even if he is
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: aged Like I said before, but to me, this is
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: run of the mill shit. Dude, Like you're gonna have
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: him fight on a car then fight in October? Okay,
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: So who's Ryan Garcia and fight okay? Okay? You know,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: so it's kind of like so you gave us a
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: card part of Rehod season in the main event is
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: fucking Garcia and Roly. To me, that's just that's just
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: more boxing. That's not a he's not game change mind blown.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: He's gonna take us into the next level of you know.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: So it is what it is. But this is what
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: boxing source potential Rehat schedule according to sources, you have
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: to you major your bend once again. I get it.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: That's gonna sell them the UK. It's okay, fight it's
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: it doesn't trigte me because of the weight. But it's like,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know, you know what I mean. It is
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: what it is though, and you have the you know,
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: the Garcia Haiti and then you have Golden Boy Matchroom
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: five for five. Now is that going to be an
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: actual five for five? I hope. Then it's like so
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: March thirty first, skip all the way to September Canel
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: Crawford and then Garcia Devin Hainey. Now it starts to
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: heat up. Obviously we the Golden Boy Matchroom. We'd have
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: to see what those fights are, so we'll see. You
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? Is that taking it up a
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: notch from last year? I don't believe. But if you're
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: trying to get us pay per views and to an extent, UK,
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: you know, UK pay per views for that for that
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: fight there the umank and but Ben obviously right, But
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: are you trying to get us pay per views, because
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: that would make sense if you're doing Crawford Canelo and
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: Garcia Haiti to rematch here you know, I don't know.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see all this and we'll see the
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: other cards too, and yeah there there. There's a couple
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: of people that have messaged me that Sergei Daravanchenko would be, uh,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: would be the first fight as a tune up for Crawford.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: We'll see the Charlo's had so much potential because Hans said,
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: so will Crawford. Oh, with Jamal Crawford out of his
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: fighting inst corn Flake, I want to know how great
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: do you think he could have been if he remained
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: focused throughout his entire career. I think he could have
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: been a pound pound top ten three division champ. There's potential.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: I just mentioned serge that was his best performance all around. Now,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: obviously the Jay Rock performance at the time back in
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: what was that twenty sixteen or something that was kind
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: of that put him on the you know, put him
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: on the map a little bit amongst us hardcorees. But
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: the Charlo's had so much potential for your Mal, Yes,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: but I do disagree because Mel was a lineal champ
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: and he fought two rematches and cleared out the division.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: So I don't when I talk about when I think
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: of potential, I don't think of Jermale Charlo. He reached
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: his potential. In fact, Mal was the guy who most
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: people were like, oh, yeah, this is the ship his
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: brother's boring and he has no power, and he flipped
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: that ship on there in his head. And we were actually,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: you know, some of us are like, dude, go back
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: to your boxing ways. In some of these fights, you know,
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: for Mel, he's too busy trying to one, let you know,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: land one punch, here's another one. Gloves off boxing. The
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: biggest news no one is talking about is Anlo Alvarez
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: is leaving PBC for Turkey. Is it over for the BBC?
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: I mean really over? Oh? And also Avaaz said, look,
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: I respect Crawford, he's very telling it, but he has
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: just one big fight. Well he only has one big fight,
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: but he has solid victories beyond just the Spence fight,
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He definitely has solid victories.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: But that's why I can't just pop him in the
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: top ten if he beats Canelo, because he has solid victories,
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: but he doesn't have a lot of great victories. Cambo
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: at the time was a damn good victory. It didn't
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: come easy. I'm not going to dock him for that.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: Post All was a damn good victory. Porter was a
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: damn good victory. Tough fight and he knocked him out,
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, there's that, dude. Yeah, another one
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: about I literally got a message from someone that is
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: so funny that says I can't give it to Usik
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: because he only fought one time. This so now I've
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: heard this on multiple podcasts, and I've heard I've seen
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: people say it on Twitter, and this is now. I
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: got a message from someone on Twitter saying that I
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: can't give Usik the Fighter of the Year because it
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: was only one fight. Are you saying one fight fight
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: to her? Because it's damn sure wasn't just one fight.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: He fought in May Usik Fury, I guess then it
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: was called Fury Usik and then in December, so I'm
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm getting old, But damn, I don't you
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. I I don't I don't am
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: I what am I missing here? What am I missing here?
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: You know? I don't know. I don't think I am.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: I think. I think people just kind of fucked up
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: or something. I really don't know. I don't know what
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: the hell. I really don't know what the hell that was.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: And then this is i f l TV. If du
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: Bois beats Joseph Parker, does he deserve a rematch? And
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: I saw in the comments saying no, if Parker, if
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: he lives to Parker, he doesn't deserve a rematch. But
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: it's like he said, beats Pok Parker, and I think, so,
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: I think he does deserve that. But yeah, I someone
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: in the I've seen this multiple times under that that's weird.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't. I don't really know the I
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: don't really know what the hell they're talking about there,
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: All right, boy? Oh this was funny. Richard in Hitchin's
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: there was this video from his own Revenge on the Mind.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: It was a fall, a highlight of the fall training right,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: and Hitchin says he's moving too much he's just sit
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: there and fight. Tell him to watch my tapes. He
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: probably learns something. Did you watch the tape? So you're
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: gonna sit there and just trade with that dude with
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: the Turkey the fucking I'm not even gonna say what else?
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: Come on, dude, he eats ron meat probably he probably
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: comes from an area where they used to eat meat
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: and it's cold at the time. Nah, it's what are
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: we doing here, dude? So Bradley says, if Turkey here's
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: Timothy Bradley. If Turkey really wants to say boxing, he
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: needs to start a union for old and new fighters
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: and have boxing under one government body that you know,
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: rules the entire sport. Right now, he's just putting a
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: band aid on it, and I think he's kind of
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: right there. But Tainey, who must just hate Timothy Browther
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: or something. He said the ESPN deal is almost over.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: Tim gonna be out of a job real soon. What Like.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: I've had plenty of criticism for Tim not as a
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: fighter but as a broadcaster, but that is not one
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: of them. Low According to tox Sport, Turkey has teased
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: it an announcement for the Boxing League. The idea of
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: a league we will start with the US and see
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: from there what happens. We are discussing Queensberry and Matchroom
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: to have different level, to have a different level of relationship.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: I cannot say more now when he says US, does
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: he mean Queensberry and Matchroom in the US or they're
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: gonna do that in the UK, because you know, well,
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see, we'll see what that actually
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: is all about. He will see what all this stuff
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: is all about. That's the beauty of all this stuff.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: A lot excuse me, A lot of people get you know,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: impatient waiting for news and they just like I think
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: part of the reason the PBC stuff is like I mean,
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: beyond all the biases and ignorant and racist shit, which
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: that makes up most of it. But I also think
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: that the fact that they're just hush hush. I just learned,
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: Like I said, it's about a decade. We're about a
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: decade into this motherfucker. Do you know Al Hayman is
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: hush hush? Do you know? His negotiations unless it's done,
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: are not going to be out in the open ill.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: And when it was with Spencer Crawford, it was actually
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: very educational in a sense, and it gave us a
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: good look at what was going on after the negotiated
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: and after they were going, you know, their separate directions
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: at that time. Anyway, So I think, I don't know.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: I just don't. I think it's just funny. It's like
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: just fucking wait, dude, like your life can't revolve around
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: this shit. And then is that a big win if
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: the BBC dies. I think it's a bigger win if
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: they do a partnership and there's more boxing on Amazon
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: or something like that. I'd rather have that, you know.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: So anyway, by the way, I did see on brunch
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: Boxing they had a highlight of Via roman Fia with
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: a knockout uppercut, nasty knockout. Yeah, I did see that.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: I definitely saw that. It was like an uppercut then
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: like a I think it was another right hand when
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: he's on the ropes, if I remember correctly. So we'll
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: see if he can build his way back to it
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: some of this stuff. I'm oh, yeah, Omar Trinidad, easy
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: win over a Plania, easy win. I did. I did
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: watch that fight and also the there was a technical
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: decision with Ramirez and uh Hirata. I believe. I think
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: that's how you say that name. So yeah, I did.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: I did watch those two fights. I watched like some
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: highlights of some other stuff, and this is what I
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: was saying in someone messageing this. So this is Turkey
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: saying talking about a fight, right. He says, it's easy
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: fighting made in a bigger rematch in October in the
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: same card. We will try to have tail against Boots,
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: then the winner against the winner, loser against the loser
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: in February. So that did change. It has changed now
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: compared to what it was prior a few week because
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: they talked about that Hani and Garcia would be a combo,
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: like a two fight deal between them, you know, a
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: rematch basically, But now he is saying it a little differently.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing he said. He said, we need
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: to discuss with our partners top ranked, Matchroom, Golden Boy
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: and PBC, so that that's where that whole thing came from.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: Like I said, they have partnered before on stuff, but
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: there's not an agreement like that. But it does sound
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: like Turkey is saying that the possible you know doubleheader Garcia,
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: Hany Lopez and his pay per view double header in
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: October in Sadi. Now, Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney did
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: a sizeable gait here and I think Lopez and it's
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: a nice gate on pay per view. The Garcia Hani
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: fight did all right comparatively, but it wasn't as good
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: as everybody was thinking it was gonna be. Oh, I
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: shouldn't say everybody. A lot of people. Now, if you
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: put Tale, Femo and Ennis on there and did it here,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: it would I think that would help it. I do,
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: But it all kind of matters how much money is
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: tied up into it, you know. So if that's the
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: card Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney and Lopez and Ennis, if
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: he if they all got to get through their ship
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: first though, meaning you know, a fight, although anytime it's
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon for the most part it's from Sadi,
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: it's gonna hurt the pay for your sales. But dude,
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: if that's the card, I don't think they could pull
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: that card off here, Like I don't think I think
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: he could. But I don't think that fight card could
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: be made here straight up without that money. So if
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: that's the case, then I understand it being in Sadi
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: and I'm okay with it. Like more than okay with it,
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: because that's a great fucking double header, you know what
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: I mean. Now he says double header too, Does that
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: mean it's just straight up I'd assume it's a pavor view,
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: but who knows, you know what I mean? Who knows.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: He also said anyway against nick Ball and then he
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: said Usik against Moses, and it's like, dude, I'm talking
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: about the top sport Turkey. I mean, so your dream
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: fight that you want to make here soon is Moses
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: and Usak. The I don't like that. And maybe maybe
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: I didn't hear the us TO interview and he said
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: you know, in the coming years or something like that.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, man, I'm a little like he Oh,
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: this is what Terrence Crawford said after Fandor and Spence
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: when we found out it's not happening. Should have tookn
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: a fight when you had the chance. Now it's over with.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: But you know, the Fandora was hurt because it was
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: like around June or something like that, maybe July June originally,
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: and even in August when Terrence Crawford did fight Madre
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: mov on that card, he was hurt. So, like I said,
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: Crawford maneuver himself into that fight if it's there, but
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: also had enough maneuverability to get his big fight. So
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: that's really you know. But anyway, and Nick ball your
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: dream fight, it's a good ass fight, but let's get Knakatani.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: And honestly, like if you're saying dream fights Benevitez and Canelo,
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: let's get that fight before Crawford. But obviously, you know,
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: the thing is I know that you know, Canelo has
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: said he you know, he's not interested in the fight
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: right now whatever. I don't know if he's gonna fight
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: him or whatever, right talking about Benevitez, but he also
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: said that he's too small for me. He only has
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: one good win about Crawford, and he talked it sounds
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: like he may have talked his ass into that fight,
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. Maybe he's just saying, hey, i'll
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: give you something. Let's sign a deal. I'll give you
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: a bone, and if you beat Crawford, which would make
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of money or would it would gain a
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: lot of revenue, I should say. I can't say it's
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: gonna make money because of the guarantees. Obviously, even in
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: the US, the guarantees like from the sounds of it
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: are nuts. By the way, the PBC he does have
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: the Team Noble for the second March second and they
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: have Mandalay for the the twenty seconds. So just the
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: heads up, I think I'm going to I think I'm
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: gonna shut this down. Oh here's John. Hopefully he'll be
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: back next week. Because they're talking about Gilbert Ramirez and Dortikos.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: He said this was an easy test for alaschit to
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: uh to say we could move go forward with Opatai
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: Ramirez as the ring belt would be on the line
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: and forget the WBA. That that's true, That is very true.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: That is true. I like Ramirez and Dortikos though, but
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: he is making a good point. And there was rumored
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: about Flendora fighting Joey Spencer. Now you know, I'm not
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: crazy about either one of those, you know, Booker or that,
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: but I say that's even maybe further down right. But
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man, it is what it is. But
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: they basically Gustavo came out and said the WBO would
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: not sanction from the Doris Spence due to the ladder
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: being in activity for a year and five months. At
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: c coo loss in his last bout, and he's not
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: rated at fifty four. He's never fought at fifty four.
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: He has ruling otherwise would be at disservice for the
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: rest of the contenders. But that's just fucking talk, you
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. Let's just talk because he just
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: had him ranked, so you know, it is what it is.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: I think I think that's gonna be about it. I
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: think I've spieled. I think I've been going through my
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: message just enough. Anyway, we'll be back next week. I
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: think John will be back. I'm gonna try to do
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: it on Tuesday night because we got ourselves a fucking
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: banger coming up. Dude. We've got some good fights this weekend,
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: one of the best fighters, if not the best fighter
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: in the world anyways in the ring, and obviously Pacheco
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: getting a good test, interesting undercard bouts and all that.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: But benefit is morale, baby, It's coming. It is coming,
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: all right. Anyway, enjoy your weekend, Be safe, be
