- 0:00[SPEAKER_00]: You are listening to the fight report with Hanson Crafton.
- 0:05[SPEAKER_00]: Every week on the Central Indian Sports Report.
- 0:11[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back, fight fans to the Central Indian Sports Report for this week's fight report with Hanson Crafton.
- 0:19[SPEAKER_00]: First of all, Merry Christmas, Hanson, and a lot of boxing for your Christmas pleasure.
- 0:27[SPEAKER_00]: Merry Christmas to you, too.
- 0:28[SPEAKER_01]: We've got a good card on Friday night.
- 0:32[SPEAKER_00]: Sure do.
- 0:33[SPEAKER_00]: Don't have a lot of UFC to talk about, not much going on for about a month there, but we do have some boxing as Hanson mentioned coming up this weekend, a big card in Saudi Arabia that we'll get to.
- 0:44[SPEAKER_00]: But first, we want to recap the Anthony Joshwood knockout of Jake Paul and Hanson.
- 0:53[SPEAKER_00]: I think it kind of went as we expected.
- 0:56[SPEAKER_00]: Probably could have been a little worse too.
- 0:58[SPEAKER_01]: was exactly kind of like it went like we thought the ending would go didn't really expect the fight to play out the way it did um felt like Jake was in there seemed like he was fighting scared now granted I get it he's fighting a full right right champion and the Joshua knockout out of his butt talk the big game you got in there and you ran for dear life at any time
- 1:28[SPEAKER_01]: and a tie and up, going for the clenched, seemed like he was frustrating Josh, where Josh was chasing the knockout you could tell.
- 1:36[SPEAKER_01]: He was doing things he normally doesn't do.
- 1:39[SPEAKER_01]: He wasn't cutting off the ring at all.
- 1:41[SPEAKER_01]: He was throwing a lot of loop in shots and as opposed to straight rights and really using his jab.
- 1:48[SPEAKER_01]: So it seemed like what he was doing was working in the
- 1:55[SPEAKER_01]: Trying to win the fight.
- 1:56[SPEAKER_01]: He wasn't going to win the fight doing that.
- 1:58[SPEAKER_01]: Jake Paul's a guy who has had issues with his cardio And that strategy seemed to be kind of drain him more than it did Joshua So the fight was odd it was it was a weird fight, but the ending was exactly kind of what we thought Once Jake Paul got really tired in that sixth round.
- 2:15[SPEAKER_01]: He basically would probably towards the end of the fifth He basically turned it to a punch and bag
- 2:21[SPEAKER_01]: Then Josh was started to kind of get off on him and then he was able to put him away in the six, but their fight kind of went like I thought it would at least the ending did.
- 2:30[SPEAKER_01]: Little this morning, the Joshua was a little more aggressive and going for the knockout early, but I'd like to have seen that, but I don't think it's like the news game paid.
- 2:51[SPEAKER_01]: some fights coming up.
- 2:53[SPEAKER_01]: I know he wants to do probably another lead up fight and then he wants to fight Tyson Fury.
- 2:57[SPEAKER_01]: I think Fury is going to do the same, probably take a lead up fight and then them two are going to fight.
- 3:02[SPEAKER_01]: So he does have some plans.
- 3:04[SPEAKER_01]: So honestly, it looked like he was out there just kind of getting some rounds in, getting his legs under him because it has been a while since he last fought when he got stopped by Du Bois.
- 3:13[SPEAKER_01]: Though it kind of worked as baron session for Joshua, I don't think he was aggressive.
- 3:18[SPEAKER_01]: As you've seen in the past, he definitely wasn't as aggressive as he was when he fought Francis and Gano and like an exhibition style fight, so it seemed like he was kind of just in there.
- 3:28[SPEAKER_01]: I think he knew there wasn't anything Jake could do to him, so he felt super safe in there and it looked like he was just getting some rounds in.
- 3:37[SPEAKER_00]: You don't think it'll probably affect either one of their careers going forward.
- 3:41[SPEAKER_01]: Jake Paul got his jaw broken, that's not anything you want to have.
- 3:45[SPEAKER_00]: Go for it.
- 3:46[SPEAKER_01]: So, but now, it doesn't really do anything to their record.
- 3:50[SPEAKER_01]: Jake Poster will fight the same people he's going to fight.
- 3:53[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think he's going to be challenging for any titles in Tom's soon, and I think Joshua really wasn't in the title picture as a yet anyways.
- 4:01[SPEAKER_01]: So, he was going to need to win a few fights before he had an opportunity like that again.
- 4:06[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I don't think it did anything to either one of them.
- 4:09[SPEAKER_01]: They both made a ton of money.
- 4:11[SPEAKER_01]: It was entertaining leading up to it.
- 4:13[SPEAKER_01]: The fight didn't really live up to what it was.
- 4:15[SPEAKER_01]: what you wanted to see although everybody did want to see Jake Paul getting knocked out.
- 4:19[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, it doesn't do anything to either one of them.
- 4:24[SPEAKER_00]: I will say Jake Paul's pretty tough guy.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_00]: Just take him this fight.
- 4:29[SPEAKER_00]: I don't understand why it took it to begin with.
- 4:31[SPEAKER_00]: He kind of paid for that decision.
- 4:34[SPEAKER_00]: Like that kind of commend his toughness just for getting in there with one of the biggest punchers in the world.
- 4:39[SPEAKER_01]: Listen to his videos lead nob to it.
- 4:41[SPEAKER_01]: His trainer and his manager.
- 4:43[SPEAKER_01]: think he was just got some bad advice.
- 4:45[SPEAKER_01]: I think they really thought that Joshua was past his physical prime.
- 4:51[SPEAKER_01]: The Joshua was a shield himself.
- 4:53[SPEAKER_01]: I think they really thought that Jake Paul could go in there and hurt Anthony Joshua when Paul hasn't really hurt anybody.
- 5:00[SPEAKER_01]: He's fought.
- 5:00[SPEAKER_01]: He's knocked out some some truck drivers and Uber drivers and stuff like that.
- 5:06[SPEAKER_01]: But when he's been in there with
- 5:12[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know where they thought that he was just going to go in there knocking and they Joshua out, but listen to a couple of videos leading up to it.
- 5:18[SPEAKER_01]: They really thought that they were going to be able to do that.
- 5:21[SPEAKER_01]: They thought Joshua would slow down that Jake would be faster in Joshua.
- 5:25[SPEAKER_01]: They thought Joshua would stand tall, which he normally does.
- 5:28[SPEAKER_01]: It is one knock on Joshua.
- 5:30[SPEAKER_01]: Is he is a tall fighter when it fights.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't really get out of the way of shots.
- 5:35[SPEAKER_01]: He kind of does stand tall and stand in front of you.
- 5:37[SPEAKER_01]: But I think they thought that Jake would be able to hurt him.
- 5:40[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he ate Jake's best punch.
- 5:42[SPEAKER_01]: He has to offer it in that second or third round with that overhand right.
- 5:46[SPEAKER_01]: It did do anything to AJ.
- 5:47[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know.
- 5:48[SPEAKER_01]: I think you got some bad advice in there.
- 5:50[SPEAKER_01]: Either that or he just tried to find one of the biggest things he could get to fight him in.
- 5:55[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe try to get one really big payday out of it before you start taking on some more riskier fights.
- 6:04[SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad it's behind us.
- 6:06[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I've made it that out when I think if he's going to want to really get into box, he's going to have to take more fights like that, not like an Anthony Joshua, but he is going to have to fight some real fighters, eventually, if that's what he wants to do.
- 6:19[SPEAKER_01]: I think the the WWE F style matches he's been doing are kind of wearing thin on people.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_01]: I remember seeing lean up to this fight today, he really had a hard time selling tickets.
- 6:30[SPEAKER_01]: I think they actually resorted to like given some away.
- 6:33[SPEAKER_01]: So it seems like people are kind of catching on to it, not really as interested they were when he started.
- 6:40[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to have to start taking more dangerous fights if that's what he wants to do.
- 6:45[SPEAKER_01]: Or you could keep going this way on this pace and I just don't think it'll be around much longer.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_01]: Good.
- 6:54[SPEAKER_01]: It's the exhibition stuff's not good for box and I don't like any of it.
- 6:57[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like the freak fight.
- 7:00[SPEAKER_01]: His brother had with Floyd when he had a 60-pound weight advantage.
- 7:03[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't like the tank Davis fight when he was going to fight Jake Paul with Jake Paul having such a way to binge.
- 7:08[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I don't like exhibition fights, I want to see real fights, I want to see fighters get in there that have a common goal to get to a world championship again and there and put on a fake fight just for somebody's not anything, I'm really interested in.
- 7:23[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, unfortunately, the boxing world kind of clowned itself a long time ago.
- 7:27[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it really did, you know, they've made it tough on themselves for
- 7:31[SPEAKER_01]: the fans to really get behind certain guys and it was open for a guy like Jake Paul to come in.
- 7:36[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of what they're trying to get away from with Terc Outleys with what he's been doing and making more 50, 50 fights and getting these guys to actually fight each other.
- 7:45[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully they're trying to kind of build at a new reputation and get boxing on the right track because you got some good fighters.
- 7:53[SPEAKER_01]: You just have to build them the right way and get them to actually take fights where they can showcase their abilities.
- 8:04[SPEAKER_00]: Coming up on Saturday night, Hanson.
- 8:07[SPEAKER_00]: We have a really good card in Saudi Arabia.
- 8:10[SPEAKER_00]: It's the night of the samurai for Japanese fighters going against four non-Japanese fighters.
- 8:18[SPEAKER_00]: And the big one, of course, is unbeaten 31 and 0 and 0.
- 8:25[SPEAKER_00]: Nioya in a way against 32 and 0, unbeaten Alan Picasso for the undisputed superband and weight world title.
- 8:33[SPEAKER_00]: than Junta Nakotani against Sebastian Hernandez Reyes, both unbeaten, and another big super band-in-weight fight as in a way Nakotani or on a crash course.
- 8:46[SPEAKER_00]: A couple other big fights on the night.
- 8:48[SPEAKER_00]: The IVF Superflyweight title, it is Ken Shiro Taraji against Willabaldo Garcia,
- 8:56[SPEAKER_00]: And then in a super featherweight world title, eliminator, jazzy Dickens against Hayato Tutsumi, Hansen Big Knight, final big card of the 2025 calendar.
- 9:09[SPEAKER_00]: And before we get to that, I want to say that it's on paper view on Dizzone, and I hope the boxing follows the UFC's lead and makes these fights free going forward.
- 9:24[SPEAKER_01]: don't know if it's anything on the on the schedule for those guys.
- 9:27[SPEAKER_01]: I know they've signed it deal with the zone.
- 9:29[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of guys a lot of promoters are starting to sign with the zone.
- 9:34[SPEAKER_01]: I think they want to stick with that route.
- 9:37[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe they'll see the success with the FCC.
- 9:39[SPEAKER_01]: How many eyes they're starting to get on those free cards and maybe they will fall suit.
- 9:43[SPEAKER_01]: It's just like since kind of built their model off paper view.
- 9:47[SPEAKER_01]: So it'd be interesting to see what they do with that moving forward.
- 9:51[SPEAKER_01]: Never a good model to hide your sport from people.
- 9:55[SPEAKER_01]: No, never a good model.
- 9:57[SPEAKER_01]: You only have select few people who can watch it.
- 9:59[SPEAKER_01]: You want to get that thing in front of anybody.
- 10:01[SPEAKER_01]: If they should learn from it and it feels probably the most watched sport on TV and they will never make it paper view.
- 10:09[SPEAKER_01]: You know, now granted, they do some of these one-offs where they do a game on Amazon or Netflix or something like that.
- 10:15[SPEAKER_01]: But for the most part,
- 10:18[SPEAKER_01]: Every household in America has access to an NFL game on Sunday.
- 10:23[SPEAKER_01]: That's the model that you should go after.
- 10:25[SPEAKER_01]: I think you want to think the name of the game should be to get as many eyes on your product as you can.
- 10:29[SPEAKER_01]: But for many times, boxing's kind of broken.
- 10:33[SPEAKER_01]: And they've always done things probably not the right way.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_00]: Well, this should help.
- 10:39[SPEAKER_00]: This card should help fight big nights like this and boxing should help with the reputation.
- 10:46[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, they've been doing a better job this year.
- 10:48[SPEAKER_01]: If you've seen a lot of really good fights, years past, you never would have saw a fight like Kinele on a Crawford.
- 10:54[SPEAKER_01]: And last, both of those guys were completely past our prime over the hill, you never would have seen those.
- 11:01[SPEAKER_01]: When made where they're finally fought, pack you out.
- 11:03[SPEAKER_01]: They both were way past their competitive problems.
- 11:07[SPEAKER_01]: I know they're both were still fighting, but neither one of them were in World Championship for them, like it had been, when everybody originally wanted to see that fight.
- 11:15[SPEAKER_01]: It seems like it is getting better with the fighters at least, you know, now you just gotta get these promoters on board and then have them kind of make some changes as well.
- 11:24[SPEAKER_00]: Alright, well, let's start with the big one, Hanson.
- 11:27[SPEAKER_00]: In a way against Picasso for the superband and way undisputed title.
- 11:33[SPEAKER_00]: And I guess one B is the Nakatani because the big story about this night is that those two are looking to fight each other.
- 11:42[SPEAKER_01]: This was the whole car we're set up for.
- 11:43[SPEAKER_01]: They've been trying to kind of get these two lined up for the last year.
- 11:46[SPEAKER_01]: Now, they've been talking about this fight since early of this year.
- 11:49[SPEAKER_01]: So it seems like they've been trying to get them lined up to where they could both fight on the same night, same weekend, and then have the same break and then put together the huge fight.
- 12:00[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like they've got their wish here.
- 12:01[SPEAKER_01]: They're both going to be on this card.
- 12:04[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be two really good showcases.
- 12:07[SPEAKER_01]: I think in a way, he's been these looked great this year.
- 12:11[SPEAKER_01]: He said he put on some really good fights.
- 12:14[SPEAKER_01]: I think his first fight was at the first of this year.
- 12:17[SPEAKER_01]: He's fine, January.
- 12:18[SPEAKER_01]: He fought in May.
- 12:19[SPEAKER_01]: He fought in September, and now he's going to fight again in December.
- 12:23[SPEAKER_01]: So in a way he's been very active.
- 12:25[SPEAKER_01]: He is getting older.
- 12:26[SPEAKER_01]: He's 32.
- 12:27[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't really what's crazy about boxing.
- 12:30[SPEAKER_01]: It's usually your heavier guys kind of get better as they age out.
- 12:34[SPEAKER_01]: Your liar wins kind of don't.
- 12:37[SPEAKER_01]: They start moving up in weight, which is what?
- 12:39[SPEAKER_01]: in ways been doing, he's now in the super ban and weight.
- 12:42[SPEAKER_01]: And then right behind him, Nakatani's coming.
- 12:45[SPEAKER_01]: Nakatani's a lot younger, he's 27, but he has kind of been chasing in a way.
- 12:50[SPEAKER_01]: He's been jumping up and weight as well.
- 12:53[SPEAKER_01]: He knows this is a huge fight.
- 12:55[SPEAKER_01]: He's kind of been looking forward to it.
- 12:57[SPEAKER_01]: So he's kind of been moving up and weight.
- 12:58[SPEAKER_01]: Seems like he has been kind of chasing this fight down.
- 13:01[SPEAKER_01]: And now both of me, they're one fight away from one of the biggest fights boxing can make.
- 13:08[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to see really two really good performances.
- 13:10[SPEAKER_01]: I believe both of them are going to come in in their best shape, ready to put on a show, probably trying to steal the show from each other, leading up to their clash.
- 13:21[SPEAKER_01]: Neither one of them want to go into that fight.
- 13:23[SPEAKER_01]: Looking like the weaker man, I expect two really good performances.
- 13:27[SPEAKER_01]: In a ways, going to be fighting David Picasso who was 32 and oh, he's a good fighter.
- 13:32[SPEAKER_01]: He's ranked number one in, well, number two in the white class is the number one
- 13:38[SPEAKER_01]: So that is a good fight.
- 13:41[SPEAKER_01]: Don't know if his style is gonna be good for in a way, plus he is younger.
- 13:46[SPEAKER_01]: I think this might be a little too soon for Picasso.
- 13:50[SPEAKER_01]: He's only 25.
- 13:50[SPEAKER_01]: He does have a good record 32 and no.
- 13:54[SPEAKER_01]: He's got 17 knockouts.
- 13:56[SPEAKER_01]: But he hasn't really had many knockouts as a blade.
- 13:59[SPEAKER_01]: But he had a big streak in 2023.
- 14:02[SPEAKER_01]: With multiple knockouts in a row since then,
- 14:07[SPEAKER_01]: a sense 23.
- 14:09[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know if he's going to be a big enough puncture to punch with in a way.
- 14:13[SPEAKER_01]: He will have to try to out boxing, which I don't know if you could do that.
- 14:18[SPEAKER_01]: In a way such a really good fighter.
- 14:19[SPEAKER_01]: He's a guy who can find his front foot.
- 14:21[SPEAKER_01]: He's yeah, I find those back foot.
- 14:22[SPEAKER_01]: He can lead the dance.
- 14:23[SPEAKER_01]: He can counter.
- 14:25[SPEAKER_01]: And in a way has big power in both hands.
- 14:28[SPEAKER_01]: And he seems to always be able to find that shot.
- 14:30[SPEAKER_01]: Now in his last fight, he didn't.
- 14:36[SPEAKER_01]: Um, he was a guy who hasn't been stopped much.
- 14:38[SPEAKER_01]: He was undefeated as well, but that was a fight where you really just were impressed with how tough he was as opposed in a way, not being able to put him away because in a way did land some big shots there, uh, he just, he was just very tough.
- 14:52[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of tough for the people expected, but outside of that, in a way, stopped, you could go down the list.
- 14:59[SPEAKER_01]: This guy's had until that last fight, everybody had fought since 2020, he had knocked
- 15:05[SPEAKER_01]: So in a way is a big time finisher.
- 15:07[SPEAKER_01]: He's a guy who can find the KO shot.
- 15:10[SPEAKER_01]: He's a really good counter puncher, especially with his right hand.
- 15:13[SPEAKER_01]: He always seems to slide it over top.
- 15:15[SPEAKER_01]: He does have a good left hand, but he's more dangerous with that right hand that overhand right, it's like a missile from in a way.
- 15:22[SPEAKER_01]: And like I said, he is able to find that shot.
- 15:25[SPEAKER_01]: That's two of his last three fights.
- 15:27[SPEAKER_01]: He has been hurt early in the fight.
- 15:29[SPEAKER_01]: And so he's shown the ability to get off the mat and recover well too.
- 15:33[SPEAKER_01]: Um, he said, a couple fight when he fought Dohini, he got hurt early and then turned around and hurt Dohini in the same round.
- 15:42[SPEAKER_01]: In a waste, tough.
- 15:43[SPEAKER_01]: He's a really good fighter.
- 15:44[SPEAKER_01]: He's been one of my favorite fighters for the last few years now since I really started watching him.
- 15:49[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, so he's a really tough test for Picasso Friday night.
- 15:54[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I think it'll turn into one of those where maybe Picasso's looking to just survive as opposed to actually win this fight.
- 16:01[SPEAKER_01]: And I think, in a way, he's going to get it done.
- 16:03[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's going to find that shot and he's going to put Picasso away.
- 16:06[SPEAKER_01]: Either one of these guys are going to want to look like the lesser of the two leading to that big clash.
- 16:11[SPEAKER_01]: And I think in a way, he's going to lead the charge there with a pretty nice knockout.
- 16:17[SPEAKER_01]: Give me rounds on both of them.
- 16:19[SPEAKER_01]: I think in a way, it gets it done mid rounds.
- 16:23[SPEAKER_01]: He's a guy who kind of he breaks you down before he puts you away.
- 16:27[SPEAKER_01]: So I see in a way probably he's going to get a stop somewhere around six and then knock a Tonny's more of you just big puncher.
- 16:35[SPEAKER_01]: So I can see not a tonic probably getting an earlier finish maybe rounds three to four.
- 16:43[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's where he'll find his shot.
- 16:45[SPEAKER_01]: Knock a Tonny's kind of the opposite.
- 16:48[SPEAKER_01]: He's a big puncher's well, but he's more behind his
- 16:55[SPEAKER_01]: It's super quick, it's super sneaky.
- 16:59[SPEAKER_01]: And he is the younger of the two and he's coming up in weight.
- 17:03[SPEAKER_01]: So he's probably going to be faster, but he is a guy who, he's a really good fighter as well.
- 17:09[SPEAKER_01]: He's fighting Sebastian Hernandez.
- 17:11[SPEAKER_01]: Sebastian is 20 and no, he's got 18 knockouts.
- 17:15[SPEAKER_01]: He's been a big, he has shown the ability to have big punches.
- 17:18[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he's ranked number eight in the division.
- 17:21[SPEAKER_01]: And in the same same case with him, he's 25.
- 17:26[SPEAKER_01]: a step to early form.
- 17:27[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's taken advantage of the opportunity he's got to get on this card and to fight Nakatai and try to surprise shocked the world and maybe get him a big fight within a way.
- 17:37[SPEAKER_01]: I don't see it happening.
- 17:39[SPEAKER_01]: I think Nakatai is going to win this fight.
- 17:41[SPEAKER_01]: Nakatai is very impressive.
- 17:42[SPEAKER_01]: He's very sleek.
- 17:43[SPEAKER_01]: He's very quick and he's got massive power.
- 17:46[SPEAKER_01]: He's got four kilos in his
- 17:53[SPEAKER_01]: So he's a smaller guy, but he's got sneaky power.
- 17:57[SPEAKER_01]: He's kind of long for the weight class.
- 18:00[SPEAKER_01]: So he's kind of got that wilder effect where he's really long and thin, but he just has dynamite in his hands, especially that left hand.
- 18:08[SPEAKER_01]: He just surprises you with it.
- 18:10[SPEAKER_01]: He can catch you short, short range of far away.
- 18:14[SPEAKER_01]: It's very sneaky and it's very powerful and I think that he can
- 18:21[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I think he'll definitely get a knockout on this fight.
- 18:24[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he also has a very good chance when he does fight in a way to end that fight.
- 18:29[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the left hand has kind of been in a ways kryptonite in his last few fights.
- 18:34[SPEAKER_01]: He's ran into a couple of left hands.
- 18:36[SPEAKER_01]: And knockout on his guy where you don't want to run into that left hand.
- 18:39[SPEAKER_01]: If he can somehow run in a way into that left hand, it would be a lot of trouble for him
- 18:50[SPEAKER_01]: Now, he is moving up in weight, but the smaller weight classes are only separated, about two to three to four pounds.
- 18:56[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know if that's going to be a huge difference on his power.
- 19:00[SPEAKER_01]: He's not coming up too much weight.
- 19:03[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know if it'll be a situation where he loses his power, jumping up in weight classes.
- 19:08[SPEAKER_01]: I expect to see the same knockathon.
- 19:10[SPEAKER_01]: He will see Friday night.
- 19:12[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm looking forward to both these fights, honestly.
- 19:16[SPEAKER_01]: I know a lot of people aren't too big on the smaller weight classes.
- 19:20[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like that's your best skill or your skill set shines more with the lighter guys because they're faster and they're not as heavy-handed so they have to throw more punches so you see more combinations better movement.
- 19:34[SPEAKER_01]: So these are two really fun fights.
- 19:35[SPEAKER_01]: These are two of your best fighters of those smaller weight classes.
- 19:40[SPEAKER_01]: I look for both of them to try to put on a show because they know what's in front of them which is a super fight and I would say a pretty big payday for both of these guys.
- 19:53[SPEAKER_00]: Hansen, the third segment is usually our new segment, but I want to just get your thoughts on Anders and Silver's Wedding.
- 20:03[SPEAKER_01]: Me, Ernst, it was one of my favorite fighters in Mike's Martial Arts.
- 20:08[SPEAKER_01]: He's one of the best fighters in Mike's Martial Arts.
- 20:10[SPEAKER_01]: He was always a really good stand-up fighter, and he actually had a pro-box and five before he got in the MMA.
- 20:18[SPEAKER_01]: So I wasn't really surprised, I kind of thought that he would go in there, and I thought he could not widdly out, widdly's a guy who he's kind of just searching for a new career after his mixed martial arts.
- 20:28[SPEAKER_01]: He wasn't really ever a stand-up guy and mixed martial art.
- 20:32[SPEAKER_01]: He was a college wrestler.
- 20:34[SPEAKER_01]: He was a success and MMA was wrestling.
- 20:37[SPEAKER_01]: Now he did have heavy hands.
- 20:38[SPEAKER_01]: He could knock you out if he caught you with the big punch.
- 20:42[SPEAKER_01]: But he didn't really have great boxing or great stand-up when he was in, makes martial arts.
- 20:49[SPEAKER_01]: Anderson did.
- 20:51[SPEAKER_01]: So going into that fight, that was kind of what I expected.
- 20:54[SPEAKER_01]: Even with Anderson being older, like we were saying, the heavier guys, it seems like the older you get, doesn't really take that much out of you.
- 21:04[SPEAKER_01]: He's fought a few times now, box and wise, and he's got a few knockouts.
- 21:09[SPEAKER_01]: You see that he does do have big power in his hands.
- 21:12[SPEAKER_01]: He's got really good movement.
- 21:13[SPEAKER_01]: Boy Jones Jr. was his idol.
- 21:15[SPEAKER_01]: So a lot of the stuff he does in there.
- 21:17[SPEAKER_01]: He gets from Boy Jones.
- 21:19[SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of how I expected him to look in there.
- 21:23[SPEAKER_00]: Handsome, thank you so much for your time.
- 21:26[SPEAKER_00]: And I hope you have the best Christmas ever.
- 21:29[SPEAKER_01]: All right, thank you, man.
- 21:29[SPEAKER_01]: You too.
- 21:49[SPEAKER_00]: The central Indian sports report is a product of IGB media, and I love Susie, I'm the best Christmas ever everyone.
