• 0:32
  Speaker 1: drawn by Louise Ouise.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: What's going on, man Hey, Jamison is very glad to
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: be back on the MIC as always. Yeah, this will
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: be a shorty edition. There's a couple of topics I
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: wanted to bring up that I thought were interesting in
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: the boxing world. So if you're listening to this episode
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: when it comes out tomorrow Friday the twenty first, Amanda
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Serrano comes back to the ring to fight Lukeresia Annabella Mansour.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Toronto's a great fighter. We're definitely excited about her being
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: in the ring. But the biggest thing that was that
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I found interesting was that this is gonna be bought
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: broadcast on TikTok Live. Amanda Surrhino's under Jake Paul's MVP,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: you know, promotional company, And I just gotta wanted to
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: get your take on this is. You know, we haven't
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: seen anything like this before, right, you know, an exclusive
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: TikTok collaboration. What are your thoughts on you know, what
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: this means for boxing? If it's a good idea kind
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: of a stupid one. I know we've seen like Facebook before.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I think we've seen Twitter before. By TikTok's a new one.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: However, that's what's in right now, that's what's trending right now.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: So I'm not necessarily mad at I'm more curious than anything.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I think you get a lot of casual viewers that
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: are just flipping, flipping up and saying different things. So
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's a bad thing at all. I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: think it's pretty cool. Actually.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I know we've seen stuff on Facebook, like
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I said, on YouTube, but I and I could be
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: wrong about this, but I don't think they were exclusively
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: like on you know, Twitter. I think there were you know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: a co broadcast or something like that. From what I
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: read this is, the appears to be where where the
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: fight is gonna be brought. I'm I'm interested I'm intrigued.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I think it's a good idea to try to expand
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: beyond the horizons that you know, where we're at right now.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: It is. I gotta admit for myself, it's weird to
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: watch a fight, you know, vertical on a screen.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Well, some people got iPads, some people got laptops, so
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it's going me like, I say, it's gonna be interesting
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and so got I will put it this way. There
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: are people that watch regular fights on TikTok. I'm not
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: saying the streams are legal. Yeah, And there's people who
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: watch via the phone to turn that shit sideways and
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: watch all twelve rounds. So that's just how it goes.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Sometimes that's true, and I've actually I remember my mom
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: was watching a World Cup game in Mexico game on
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: her phone on a TikTok live stream, and then when
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I found out, I was like, Mom, I set her
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: up with like one of the actual legit you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: streating services and apps that I paid for, just just
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: so she has, like, just so she has a clear
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: picture of it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Now that they cared, I'm like, Mom, what are you doing?
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: So, yes, I am aware people did for I know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and I am. I'm speaking as a forty year old
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: man who for first got on TikTok like eight months ago.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: So just keep let's eight thousand with Juluis you know
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: someone very close to you that's done in a few
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: times because a couple of things. I'm not gonna pay.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: If I don't have to pay, I'm not gonna pay.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And it's not a fight that I really truly want
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to see. If I'm just growing TikTok and I see
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: round foe and it's a you know, it's it's clear,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch and I'm gonna roll it out until
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: that stream works or doesn't work, I'm gonna keep going.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: One of the tank fights wasn't a roach. It was
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: another fight. He had it kind of. I think something happened.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I wasn't at home, so I was rolling and I'll well,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: what do we have here? And then it just magively appeared.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, that's fair.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: And you know, not only speaking as an old man
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: who who got on tick there recently, I'm also speaking
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: as a guy who I like video quality. When anything,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: TV TV shows movies that I watch by distant four K.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I have a giant TV. I want to stream on that,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: you know, and that's my personal preference. I would be
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: very very hard for me to watch an entire you know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: twelve Browns on on the phone. But again that's personal preference.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I spent the damn money for a reason, Like you know,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I have grown up money now, Like I want that
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: shit to look good, you know what I mean.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: No, I'm with you. I'm the same way. I prefer
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: like I don't doin you wrong. If if there's an option,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick the TV setup, no doubt about it. However,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: there's times where you either not at home, you out
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: about whatever. If that's the best you got, that's the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: best you got. Or if I could save eighty dollars,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you know, and I was going to that's something else,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, it's kind of hot these days.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: It has very high these days. That's eighty dollars is
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: one tag of gas for me personally, So I get that. Yeah,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I just be very interesting, like I see, Like I said,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I I'm very curious as to you know, it'll bring
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: more people into boxing. What's the thing I've always talked
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: about the thing that we want bring the younger crowd.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Uh And yeah, you know, I always got to remember
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: people will sit and watch, you know, hours of a
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: TikTok live stream if something they like, you know. So
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I admit one hundred percent I'm coming to this as
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: as the old grampy that you know. It's just learning
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: about this. But you know, if it works, it works,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: that's great. I think that. Also. Another thing that I've
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: done before is what is it called screen mirroring, when
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: you you know, connect your phone up to the TV. Yep,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: well at home and if I'm home on Friday night,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: that's probably what I'm gonna do. Just connect the phone
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: to the TV. And it's a lot easier these days,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: like airplay, you know all that stuff, or I you've got.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: A second phone or I've had or whatever, just do
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that with that so you can keep your phone with you.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: All god things you can do. But you're right, you're right. Yeah.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: So, uh so I'm not trying to like pooh pooh
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: this whole idea. I think it's uh, you know, let's
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: try it, why not, you know, let's see, let's see
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: what it comes to it. I will say, though we
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: got realistic it seems like it's the general overall lack
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: of respect for women's boxing that you know they're not.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: They're not on Friday Saturday nights. You know they're they're
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: not getting hyped up as much. And you know they're
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: on Fridays and they're on TikTok instead of ESPN. I'm
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: don't think that's all it. That's the whole Thing's a
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: part of it.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: So I'll put it this way. I'm gonna put it
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: this way. I don't mind the day that a fight's on,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: because here's the thing. If a good fights on Wednesday night,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: sports has come on every day. So if a game
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: is on Wednesdays on a Wednesday, if a good fight's
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: on a Tuesday, we're gonna come back the next day
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: talking about damn, did you see that fight last night?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: So I don't think that's the premium like my friends
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: is right now. If Secure fought hating on a Wednesday,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: that'd be kind of crazy. But if I'm not mistaken
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and my memory serves me correct, Shirk Corp fought on
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: a Thursday once upon time on ESPN when he had
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: a tough fight versus the guy that I forgot his name.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I think it was a Puerto Rican cat, but he
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: kind of I don't think it was on. It was
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: a fight. He fought here on a Thursday, I'm remember,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: because I was out of town, got to be somewhere Friday.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: He fought here on the third. So it has happened.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: It's not normal, it's not regular, but it has happened.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I would, honestly, you know what, I'm glad you brought
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that out, Louis. That's a great point. We in the summertime,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: when there's nothing on, we should have way more boxing
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: matches throughout the week. The weekends are good for the
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: good matches, but if there was a solid up and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: coming car on a Tuesday night, you're telling me you
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: wouldn't tune in.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Absolutely one undred percent I would.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a really good point. Yeah, we have an
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: opportunity here. What I've said before is we're leaving money
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: on the table. Hell, I'm just happy to watch any boxing.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Like I have channel surfed and one night I came
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: across like two women fighting. The announcer was in Spanish,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, let's go. I wasn't even like, oh,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: cool boxing, let's check it out. I was like, let's
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: fucking go.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I was excited. Yeah, absolutely, I would absolutely tune into
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: a Wednesday night fight Thursday night.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because like you got, people haven't realize now everything
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: can be Friday sad like, it don't just work that way.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Like there's one is only there's only so many dates
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: for that. I mean dates, there's only so many dates
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: in general, but there's only somebody arenas that are open
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: on weekends like that, so you don't just have every
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: weekend available. But also too during the summer, people are
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: dying for things to watch. We've had like women's soccer
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: on We've had like when baseball has early days, it
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: doesn't have a full slate. People are like, damn, what
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: can we watch? What's up in it? The options are
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: pretty slim, So, to be honest with you, boxing in
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the summer would be dope during the week. I'm not
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: saying that your main events on a Wednesday, but if
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: you had, if you had a card a week on
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: a And I'm not saying a breakup, it's a regular
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: some guys, just some dudes up and coming. I think
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: we do very well.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: No, definitely, and uh yeah, I know exactly what you
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: were talking about. Shaker Stephen thought Edwin Delo Santos to
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: fight that everybody hated. Yep, that was Thursday Night. Tell
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: females as well. He had a Thursday night fight because
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I remember it was it was my birthday that day
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: and I went out to grab a drink and that's
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: when the fight was on ESPN. But I've always said
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I asked the bartender she could flip it on for me.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: She did, so, Uh yeah, I think it's worked out before,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: and I think we're definitely we need to bring a
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: little bit more prestige to off nights. I guess you'd
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: call them, yeah, yeah, box so yeah, I mean, I
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: would definitely encourage people to set up more fights during
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the weekend, as long as they're not super late. I
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: know people gotta, you know, get up early, but you know,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: eight nine pm, nine pm on a Thursday.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: If you did, if you started at nine pm eight
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: pm West East Coast time five five of our time,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: people would watch man like even if you started at
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: nine East Coast time six here, people would watch like.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: It's something where people want to watch stuff, and if
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you have it on, people are gonna watch. And there's
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: enough boxers where you can keep guys active, keep them paid.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Because the networks need content like the reason why things
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: that the reason why boxings on all these channels, because
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: during certain months there's a need for content, a live content.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: So there's definitely a way to make this work. But
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I don't make the decisions, so I'm just a fan,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: so that's all. It's about my pay grade by this
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: a suggestion that's thrown out there.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Definitely, well, uh, great idea. Let's see, you know, if
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: this becomes a big thing and there's a lot more
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: fights to be shot on TikTok, and sure we can
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: show them on you know, Wednesday, Thursday nights, coming forward,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Going forward. All Right, the other big piece of news
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: that we got coming up this weekend Saturday, the twenty
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: second tail fi Mo Lopez fights Rolely Romero in a
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I think I think it's a pretty anticipate fight. People
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: are kind of getting excited about it. You know, people
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: are always excited to see uh tel fieling back in
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: the ring. Uh. You know, ROLI's coming off his big
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: win against Bryan Garcia. Let's start here, Jamison, you're are
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: our sports better are betting expert? What are the odds
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: on this fight?
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I'm pulling up now. Rowlie's definitely underdog. I'm telling you
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that now we know that. But Roly is a local guy.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I think he's either I think with the high school year,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I think, but he is a guy that a lot
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: of people like out here. I don't know for people
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: who know him personally. Uh ta Femo is minus three
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: hundred to win, meaning that you gotta win out to
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: put one hundred bucks, you gotta put three hundred on him.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: If you think Roly's gonna win, you put a hundred
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: on him. You get two hundred and forty five dollars
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: back for three hundred you put on him. So there
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: you go.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: So with that said, is there any I know role
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: is the underdog? Either of us really believe that he
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: can pull this off and get the win here? What
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: are you feeling?
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Like Tia Femo is still a really
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: good boxer, He's just not like the elite of elites anymore.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: He's still a good guy. Rolie can be active, he
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: could be pesky. I don't know if he can pull
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: an upset though, Because pulling an upset I think he'd
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: have to drop ta Femo at least once. I don't
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: know if he could do that. And I say he can't,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: just don't think he will. So I don't know if
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: that's a good bet for Roly. But if you're just
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: like action, he like the gamble, probably throwing one hundred
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: on Roi is probably the best bet. Or for it
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: to go the full twelve rounds probably another good bet too.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Bounce eat if you will knocking out Roller either. So
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I think anybody goes full twelve.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree on definitely going the distance. The
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: thing about Rolie, you know, you've said before that Rolie
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: is not the kind of guy that you lose to
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: if you're an lead fighter. Another thing that I'm piggybacking
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: off of that, I don't think Rolie is the type
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: of guy who should be fighting once a year, Like
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: he's not that big of a bet. Or his last
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: fight was actually the Ryan Garcia win, which is in
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: May of last year, and now we're you know, thirty
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: or fifteen months or whatever it is since his last performance.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: That to me kind of shows that everybody thought it
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: was a fluke, Like if he got that upset against Ryan,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: he should have been back in the ring right away
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: to be like, this could be your new guy. He's
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: got the goods, et cetera.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think it works like that with him because
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: we kind of know who he is, you know what
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I mean. I think we kind of know what kind
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: of boxer he is, what kind of guy he is.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: But also too, I mean paid, he got some good
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: money from that fight. I think I'm not mistake. I
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: mean he got paid because I was. He got a
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: good check for that, and there was not necessarily incentive
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: to rush back in the ring from that. But I'm
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: with you. In normal cases, you are in a rush
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: to get back. But I just don't know what fight
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: was there for him, because it's not like whoever he
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: fought next, he's gonna be the favorite. If he fought
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: another name, you know what I mean, like he STI
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: would have been an underdog. Now with that being said,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: he wins this weekend, I think he has action at
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: getting bigger fights, which is always good. But I just,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you know, it's one of those things where I don't
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: quite know. I'm very curious to see how that's gonna go.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Sure, and let's be clear, he is a very talented fighter,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: and he's you know, I shouldn't be telling I'm not
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: talking shit about Rolie especially being a fact out just
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: hitting here on micro vote, and there's a good chance
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: that you know, he upped this game. But I would
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: say that the general consensus is that, like I said,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: it was more of a win because Ryan came in
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: snoozy than Roly really came an elite, if that makes sense,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: you know, yeah, yeah, it's It's like it's like if
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I'm sparring in a gym against a twenty year old
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: and for whatever reason, I'm doing really well, that twenty
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: year old is tired and I'm just looking good. No
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: coach is gonna come bring me under their wing and say, like, man,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: you could be the guy. They're gonna go to that
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: twenty year old and say, yeah, you fucked up today, kid,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: you gotta step it up for next time. Right, And
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I kind of see that's what happened with Roly versus right,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: which I think it's I think it's a little unfair.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think Roly deserves the disrespect that
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: he gets. What was that when he was talking to
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: people from The Ring magazine recently where he asked, if
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I were retired now, will I be like a Hall
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: of Famer or an ALTI and everyone's like fuck nos,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: or only you're not.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: We already throwing too many guys. There's some I mean,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: all right, so the whole belt thing, right, if you
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: want a belt, I get your champ. I'm never gonna
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: take no wise champ away from them. There's so many
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: he built, and there's so many ways that guys get belts.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: These days, we gotta do more than just win a belt,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: like we gotta we got it. There needs to be
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: more to the resume, in my opinion, how many belts
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: have you defended? How have you looked in big fights?
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: How have you looked in guys that are compable to
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: you or if not better. There's so many different things
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: that need to go into the resume talk just like
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: oh yeah he wanted belt three times, he's a three
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: time champ, he's an hall I nah, no, no, no,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: not anymore. It's not like the seventies and eighties. We
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: need we need more contacts and nuanced grotten things now.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: But's not a Hall of Famer. No. Yeah.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I want to say that if Roy really brings his
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: a game, I still I wouldn't put money on it,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: but I would say that he the fight goes the distance.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's not even a unanimous win for for tel female.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: He's he's you know, like you said, he's not the
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: top of the top of the list.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: The lead.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: He's has probably lost a step. He looked good against
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: your cours cors is just way way better than he is,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: right and if Roly can you know, Roly will have
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: my respect if he gets in there looks good. And
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: what I like, what do we say? Lose pretty?
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it lose pretty like you know, to the point
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: where it's like, damn, you could have got that one.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Oh well, you know, hey if it lasted a little
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: bit more so all those things. I'm with you on that.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: But my thing is this, My biggest thing is when
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: it comes to row lead, what's the plan? Like, are
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: you just coming in there for a check? Or are
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: you coming here to trying to win? Like That's what
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of curious about because he's getting checks, he's
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: getting paid, But there's really I mean, the Ryan Garcia
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: one is what it is. But outside of that one,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: what's the signature Roly win? Like you know what I mean.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: So that's why I'm kind of I want to see
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: his mindset coming into this fight. I really do.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I really just kind of wish that, you know,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: with these younger guys when they get a big win,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: that it's like they kind of see, you know, what
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: they could become and win more fights, win more belts,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: when as opposed to like I got paid, I'm gonna
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: chill and you know, money's running low. Let's let's call
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: back up and schedule another fight. It's been it's been
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: a year, you know, I don't know, Like, yeah, I
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: get paid, absolutely, I definitely want boxes to be well paid,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: but I feel like they're not as hungry anymore, you know,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: to want to Well, it sucks.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: It sucks because we do want guys get paid. But
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: it's like now we have we've ruined the balance. Right,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: there's always in anything we do, you got to have
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: a balance of you want enough, hunger and getting paid.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: You want some perfect combination of that. Because right now
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: you've got guys getting paid a lot of money, only
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: fighting once every year, year and a half. But guys
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: are getting paid back in the day, guys weren't getting
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: paid their fighting three times a year. That's the difference.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Don't know how you I don't know how you fix it.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I want I think that one guy's getting paid, so
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the only fight once a year. I get it. I'm
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: never gonna I'm never gonna go against guys not getting paid.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I can't. I personally cannot do that. But for the
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: betterment of the sport, I wish there are some perfect
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: mix of things. However, with all the entities involved, I
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: don't know what they're prioritizing. It feels like they're prioritizing
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the names at the top. Else I was kind of
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: getting when they fit in, and I'm not a big
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: fan of that.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Well, let's not forget that Roly fight against Ryan. Was
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: that really stupid Times Square New York outdoors event funded
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: by the Saudi's, by Turkey La Shake. And you know,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: even though that's that sucked, that was not a good
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: event pretty much universally disliked. It was still cost a
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: lot of money. That was a shit little money put in.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: So and I think, again, uh, you know, we don't
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: have to get into the full conversation about this, because
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: we talked about it. But yeah, the Saudi money into
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: boxing and the sports, you know, it's not because necessarily
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: because of the love of the sport, and that's a
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: little too much, too much income to funnel in there.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: When you're like putting on an event that nobody really liked,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: that nobody gets a shit about it, and nobody came
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: out of there. Nobody came out of the event being like,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: holy shit, when is Roly's next fight? You know, holy shit?
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: When is Yeah? It was it was like a wash?
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Why why right?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and again didn't help going forward that you know,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Roly shit come out of that hungry, excited for his
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: next win and you know, just challenging, you know, being
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: cocky and challenging all the big names that he could
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: never possibly fight it.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: But shot Throll though, I mean over came some speech
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: issues and whatnot and shout out to him. He's come
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: a long waist. With that being said, I know he's
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: not be funny a lot whatnot. But hall of fame question,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: he has some nerve nah man like like ta femo
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: as an argument you can make if you wanted to
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: convince me he's a Hall of Famer, I at least
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: listen to you. I don't. So here's him. I think
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: of hall of fames. I think of hall of fames.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: That means you gotta be like a this sport couldn't
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: have went on went out with you, like we can't
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: mention the sport, but eventually something across your name. I
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: don't think about that with these two guys. But I
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: can listen with your femal because he's done some stuff
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: with his career. I can kind of sort of you know,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I can kind of sort of you know, I could
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: listen to your case. But with some of these guys
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: like nah, nah yeah.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: And you know, winning against Lumachenko, I think it definitely
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: gives really really big, big pushed or something like that.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: And and let's not forget you know, Puerto Rican and
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: New York. You know, he's away gonna draw a crowd.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: He's got his huge fan, so he's an undeniable star.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Uh you know, whether you think he's you know, an
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: amazing box or shooty box or whatever the hell, you know,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: he can't deny his talented So I could definitely see that.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: And again, I like Rollie personally. I think he's very likable.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm not here to pooh pooh on him.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: You know, I want the best for him. I I
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: would be happy if he wins. I I'm a big
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: rooterer for the underdog. You know what I mean. So
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I just I don't really see it. You know, if
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: he really really stepped up his game and trained hard
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: and prepared, and you know tell Femo is a guy
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: with a with a lot of a lot of tape
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: you can watch and study. I'm not saying it's impossible.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I just also am saying it's not that I went
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: it's not impossible. I'm just saying I understand why he's
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: the underdog, why he's the why tel Fima is a favorite.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: So but I'm excited at the end of the day,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: no matter what I want to I want an active,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: exciting fight. Tel Fimo always puts on a good show
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: in the ring. If really keeps up with them, and
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: you know it's there's a lot of punches being thrown,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be happier than pick a ship. So with
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: that said, yeah, we're It's about all I wanted to
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: bring up just a couple couple of quick things that
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: you know, we had some fights announced that again. This
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: year has been kind of crushing it from summer on.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: We got him on Lavarette coming back against a SHACKI
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Foster in October in San Antonio, which is cool as hell.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: And now I don't care about Fury versus Joshua at all,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: but they're both names, and you know, they got slotted
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: in for November, so at the very least there's more
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: boxing matches to be made, you know.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: So yeah, the thing that's good about those kind of
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: matches is that usually undercarssly pretty good. You know, the
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: main event what it is, the undercar got somebody that's
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: good on there, or got some oven coming that's on there,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: So that's a good thing too.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not excited to watch Fury and Joshua fight al
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: but I'm excited to see a night of good boxing.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: So yeah.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: And also I remember when they were going at it
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: their tyson Fury or something like Anthony Joshuy. It's been
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: ten years in the making. I'm like, yeah, I know,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: that's why nobody gives a shit, and.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: It should be in the UK some we're not New York.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a whole on the conversation. We'll talk about
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: that as its closer. But yeah, what a great year
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: so far for boxing, and hopefully it gets you know,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: even better. Uh, But that's all we got for today.
