He's a professional boxer. He is a professional boxer, he's

a father of three little girls and and just a really cool, very
1:23
well spoken, humble individual. Till you get into the ring and
1:27
you stand toe to toe with him, you're in all kinds of trouble.
1:31
Jig will knock you on your ass. I've seen it with my own eyes
1:35
four times. Now 4 * 4 times What's up Jake?
1:39
How are you, man? Back, brother.
1:41
How you guys doing, man? I'm good.
1:43
We're doing great. We're so glad you came back on
1:45
the show, dude. You were such a great
1:46
conversation before. So super excited to have you
1:50
back on and talk about all the things.
1:52
It's good to be back. Yeah.
1:54
So what's what's going on in in Jake Johnson's world right now?
1:57
Oh. Man, just working.
2:00
I'm getting, I'm actually getting ready to fight again
2:02
March 6th. And so, so yeah, I saw the
2:06
boxing, my training life picking up.
2:08
I just started an all women's fitness group that I had in the
2:11
past. I brought it back.
2:13
Oh cool. I saw that online, that's
2:15
awesome man. Oh yeah, we rolled it tomorrow
2:18
morning at 9:30. Outstanding man so one of the
2:22
reasons that we wanted to have you back on let's back up to
2:27
your last fight when you were on here last time you were
2:30
promoting that fight actually I think you've had two fights
2:32
since then I. Think so, yeah.
2:35
So let's back up two fights ago. How long did that last?
2:40
That one? I didn't see this last one.
2:42
I, I was actually able to subscribe online and I, I
2:45
watched your fight, man, that was awesome.
2:47
Yeah, the the last one was was 2 rounds and a minute and 36
2:56
seconds I believe. Was that?
2:58
For three rounds, 3 rounds, a lot of my third round.
3:03
You knocked him out in the third round.
3:05
Yes, Sir. OK, I'm gone.
3:07
Knock you out, Mama said. Knock you.
3:10
Out I got to see the aftermath because you posted it online.
3:13
Man that was a brutal knockout to that dude.
3:15
Just went down like a sack of potatoes.
3:18
So here's the guy that Jig beat up in November of 2024.
3:23
Oh, man, I do and go. That was supposed to be my first
3:26
knockout, man. He wouldn't go away.
3:28
It was supposed to. He wouldn't go away.
3:31
Oh, look at that action shot dude, that's outstanding.
3:34
Man that's a bad ass photo right there.
3:37
That yeah, that is that is the great photo, dude.
3:40
Right on. So he, he wouldn't go down.
3:42
You just kept beating him up and he just wouldn't drop.
3:45
Man, he was bleeding all over out and blood was getting in my
3:48
mouth and everything. I just, oh, want him to go away.
3:51
He wouldn't go away. So as you were hitting him,
3:54
blood was coming back on you. It.
3:56
Was like flying. Oh my gosh, dude, doesn't that
4:00
freak you out? It didn't freak me out.
4:03
It was like it was frustrating. Jig was getting mad.
4:10
Those are my shoes. I just got those shoes, man.
4:12
I wonder. I love this.
4:17
That's that's awesome. The guy we got blood on my shoe.
4:21
So, so you would have thought that would have made you even
4:23
more mad to hit him even harder. Even though we've seen it, you
4:26
know not, I mean we haven't felt it, but we've seen what your
4:29
punches can do. Because again, you've had what
4:32
did we decide 4 fights since you came on the show first time?
4:35
Yes, Sir. And you knocked them all out.
4:40
No2 Knockouts. OK, two knockouts.
4:42
Right on. That guy we can just see.
4:46
I wanted my first fight to build first knockout, but yeah, he
4:50
ain't going down. So did you win that one by
4:53
decision? Yes, Sir.
4:55
OK, because you're 4 and out, right?
4:57
Yes, Sir, all. Right.
4:58
Yep, Yep. Now just to make me feel bad
5:02
again, what weight class do you fight at?
5:05
What weight? Well, middle Wilson, and which
5:08
is how many pounds? I've been in both classes from
5:11
1:54 to 168. That's why he makes me feel bad,
5:14
Chris, because those pictures that we just looked at, he's
5:17
built like a brick shit house. We're the same weight.
5:20
Yeah. Yeah, I don't look like jig.
5:22
No, I figured that's why you're going there.
5:28
I just found your, I just found your Frontline Warriors Fitness
5:31
and Martial Arts page. We followed that.
5:34
I thought I followed it before, so we're following that.
5:40
I'm going to, I'm going to pull up some of your pictures, man,
5:41
because your pictures are awesome.
5:44
OK, so now go to the go to the fight that you were promoting
5:50
before you came on the last time that would have been.
5:54
I like this picture. Was that your first knockout?
5:57
This one right here. No, that was the second.
6:00
That was my third fight. OK, third fight.
6:03
OK, that's a hell of a picture jig.
6:06
Yeah. That's awesome.
6:08
So yeah, turn awake That that's right, that dude.
6:11
I had to get him out of there. Yeah, yeah, he was because he
6:15
would deal with we didn't get more blood on your shoes.
6:18
The. Shoes are expensive, right?
6:20
Yeah, they are. That's what I fight was actually
6:22
scheduled for six rounds. Not too many bosses do 6 rounds
6:26
on the third fight. Oh, right on.
6:30
How much weight did you have to cut for that fight?
6:32
That fight was I had to look like 35 lbs.
6:36
I had to get 35 off me. Wow, so what's so, so we talked
6:41
before about your pre, your pre fight rituals, all that kind of
6:44
stuff in the food. So when you're dropping 35 lbs,
6:48
what does that do to your your power?
6:51
Because obviously then you can, you can eat a bunch of food, but
6:53
you'd like said you don't eat crazy, but so you weigh in, you
6:57
meet the weight. What does it do to your power in
6:59
your behind, your punches and stuff and your stamina in the
7:01
ring? Does it affect it because you
7:02
had to drop the weight so much? Yeah.
7:04
Well, typically if you do it the right way, you can bring
7:08
everything back. Speed, power.
7:11
OK, yeah, but I had a terrible way.
7:14
But I had a lot of things going on.
7:16
So a lot of my wake up was just running in Sauna Suit and Sauna
7:20
Rome and that drain. Yeah, I could see that because I
7:24
when I wrestled in high school, we had that every now and then.
7:26
Had to wear those stupid, you know sweat suits like you call
7:31
them sauna suits that were just you know and then you are you
7:34
just weak man you you feel weak afterwards at least I.
7:36
Did what up Jake? I was pretty out of it.
7:40
I was pretty out of it during that fight and my trying to know
7:45
me. So he kind of like kept me level
7:48
headed and told me what to do. That's good.
7:51
That's what the trainers for right keep you and keep you in
7:53
check. Yeah, I couldn't think for
7:55
myself, so I had to really listen to him.
7:58
Well, you get super dehydrated doing that, don't you?
8:01
To the point where I can't think clearly.
8:03
Yeah, I definitely kind of think clearly also really dehydrated.
8:07
Like these last two fighters actually should have been in the
8:09
hospital instead of in the boxing ring.
8:11
But you sign a contract, you got to do your job.
8:15
Why should you have been in the hospital?
8:17
Because I dehydrated, I was. No kidding.
8:21
Yeah, that was on me though. I'm a professional and Yep, I
8:26
got to be more discipline with my weight cut.
8:31
Learned by doing right. That's one of my favorite kids
8:34
right there, man. Right there.
8:35
Oh, this is someone that you coach.
8:37
Nah, he he actually won. Aaron Jacobs.
8:41
Aaron Adam Jacobs, fighter, Cuban kid.
8:46
Cool. He's nice.
8:48
Very done. I'm I'm thinking that a lot of
8:51
boxers are nice outside the ring.
8:54
I mean, like nice entering. He seemed like a nice guy
8:56
outside right too. But yeah, they can't kill him.
8:59
He he fought on the last two shows I've been on.
9:04
Oh, right on. I'm just I'm scrolling through
9:10
some of your fight pictures 'cause I want to show the world.
9:13
So now, when was your last fight?
9:15
It wasn't that long ago, was it? You know, it was on October
9:18
25th. OK.
9:20
This guy I just fought last, like he was a little bit more
9:23
skilled, well, a lot more skilled in my previous
9:26
appointments, so I had to be on my game where.
9:30
Yeah, that's the one that I was able to watch.
9:32
And he seemed like he he definitely made you use all your
9:36
skill set. Oh yeah, I had to slip, roll,
9:39
catch, counter everything. That guy that was actually
9:45
Jackie, Harry's son, the mother of the sitcom.
9:48
Sister. Sister.
9:50
Oh no shit. Really.
9:52
That's a song. I remember her from 227 watching
9:58
that with my great grandma. She was on that, too.
10:03
Yeah, that was a song. He talked a lot of crap too.
10:09
That was me too. He was talking shit to you while
10:13
you guys were fighting. The whole fight.
10:15
Really. What was he saying?
10:19
A lot like you don't got shit, that's all you got.
10:24
I ate that shit like bro. Keep feeding me, Keep feeding
10:28
me. Now let me ask you this, Jake.
10:30
Are you talking back to him? Are you just getting madder?
10:33
I ain't getting mad. I'm I'm smiling and I'm talking
10:37
back at certain points. But what?
10:40
What are you telling him? I I just kept telling him I'm
10:43
right here like but he keep talking like I'm right here.
10:48
Yeah. See, there was a couple times
10:49
where you were like telling him to come at you and I thought
10:53
that's what you were telling him.
10:54
That's why I'm asking. Oh, no, I want to tell him.
10:57
I want to tell him to come at me.
10:58
I was telling him like I'm right here.
11:00
Like he keeps saying, like he was saying like bring that shit
11:03
on, like I'm eating that shit. You know?
11:05
There ain't nothing behind that. Ain't nothing.
11:06
I'm like bro, I'm right here like.
11:12
I love that. Sorry Nikki, text me.
11:18
It's all good and. Eventually he knocked his ass
11:21
out. Oh no, I couldn't get him.
11:25
I couldn't get him. I caught him a few times but he
11:27
was pretty sturdy. So, but you got the decision on
11:32
that? Right.
11:32
No, I got unanimous. Yeah.
11:35
I'll have probably about 6:00. I was like 60% in that fight
11:38
because that was another bad way but.
11:46
So that that definitely has something to do with your
11:49
stamina then, right? They do.
11:54
So we had a guy on that he's, he's not a boxer, but he trains
11:59
like a boxer and he started sparring.
12:04
He had like he, he finally had his first sparring match not too
12:08
long ago. And he physically he like he's
12:10
in shape, like he's a specimen, like, you know, like he's got
12:13
the core, got the muscles, he's cut, he's ripped.
12:15
He's just, you look at him and think, OK, this guy, you know,
12:18
he's not going to have a problem.
12:20
And then so we asked him how his first sparring match was, right.
12:23
He said when the first minute he was just dead because the cardio
12:26
that he had was nothing compared to the cardio that you actually
12:30
have to have as a boxer. A lot of a lot of people jump
12:34
into boxing don't realize how long 3 minutes is.
12:39
Right. Yeah, that's what he said.
12:41
He's like, I was a minute in, man, and I was, I was dead.
12:43
I was beat. Those were his exact words,
12:46
Jake. He was like a minute.
12:48
That's all it took. And.
12:49
Yeah, that's all it took to make him realize he's not in shape,
12:52
which is mind boggling to me because I mean, we watch boxing,
12:55
right? We're not boxers like you are.
12:56
And, and from a spectator standpoint, I mean, you're
12:59
moving around and stuff, you know, constantly with your feet,
13:02
like we learned, like you had, I remember what you told us before
13:04
that that because I always thought you'd look at the, at
13:07
the, at the, with the waist or the head and you're like, no,
13:09
you look at their feet to where they're going to go for their
13:12
punches and stuff. So when you're doing the jump
13:16
rope and you're doing the running, the cardio and all that
13:18
kind of stuff, is that what is that?
13:19
What builds up your legs stamina for all that moving around the
13:22
ringers or other things you got to do in order to have that to
13:24
maintain that stamina for those rounds?
13:27
So it's a combination of things, your cardio, your sprinting,
13:33
conditioning and then your boxing.
13:37
Also your nutrition and what you're doing outside of the gym
13:40
like. No Big Macs.
13:42
Smoking, yeah, stuff like that, yeah.
13:44
Well, all that stuff, Big Macs. So all that stuff play together.
13:50
Yeah. So it's not just one thing.
13:52
You got to do everything. Everything.
13:55
And then you got to do everything consistently.
13:59
Right. You can't take a day off, right?
14:01
Yep. So I look at cardio to help me
14:06
with my strength and conditioner in the boxing training.
14:10
So you actually training to train, you're doing your cardio
14:15
and your strength and conditioning to be in shape to
14:18
do boxing training, you know, shape and do boxing training so
14:21
you can score on flight. How many, how many, How many
14:28
sparring matches will you do in the course of of preparing for a
14:32
fight? Some people keep track.
14:38
I could say every Wednesday, every Tuesday, Thursday and
14:42
Saturday. OK, OK.
14:46
Then let me. Yeah, go ahead.
14:49
It's along the same lines as what you're asking.
14:51
So a lot of MMA fighters that I listen to on podcast, they will
14:56
stop sparring at a certain point before the fight comes up.
15:00
Do you have a cut off date of when you're not going to spar
15:02
anymore? Oh, fight week.
15:04
The week before fight week. We'll probably do like black
15:10
sparring on Thursday and that Saturday and no sparring on
15:15
fight week. OK, so a week out you're not?
15:19
Well, you shouldn't be doing the hard sparring.
15:22
OK, so is, is, so what's the difference between hard sparring
15:26
like like hard light? So hard sparring you're, you're
15:28
hit and throwing punches, all that kind of jazz, you know,
15:30
moving, you know, all the kind of like you're like you're
15:33
fighting fighting, but not for real, but pretty close.
15:35
And then Light is just kind of kicking back, kind of, hey,
15:38
what's going on? So hard sparring is like
15:43
simulating like what you actually going to get in an
15:46
actual fight. Oh, OK.
15:49
People are not so looking in. These two people can like best
15:52
friends, but on outside looking in you won't be able to tell
15:56
'cause they. Right.
15:57
OK, gotcha. Like spawn and should be just
16:00
none but like skill like speed and skill.
16:04
OK being sharp like you hitting people, but you should be not
16:08
pulling on your punches but not trying to load up.
16:12
Right, You're not doing full, you're not doing full impact
16:14
punches. You're hitting them, but you you
16:16
know you're not going to drop them with what you're hitting
16:17
them with type thing. Hey.
16:18
Sir, you make sure you start everything you worked on.
16:21
Cool. If you studied your opponent,
16:25
y'all working on a specific thing, making sure you're
16:27
sticking to y'all game playing, which I've been working on off
16:30
count. Now you're showing, you're
16:32
showing pick then the camera. Just try to switch everything
16:35
up. So you kind of have a pregame
16:38
like you, you watch some of your opponent, then you kind of know
16:40
their tendencies, understand things, things they may do
16:43
right. And so then you and your
16:45
trainers come up with like this game plan, how we're going to
16:47
attack this person or defend against these certain things.
16:50
So so you're sparring matches prior to a kind of ingraining
16:54
that into into your game plan per SE.
16:56
Is that a good way to OK, that's a good way to explain that.
16:59
Right on. OK then let me let me ask you
17:01
this then. Jake, you said that this guy
17:06
tested you in ways that you had not anticipated.
17:09
What did you overlook leading up to that fight in hindsight that
17:14
you've worked on since then? Well, overlooking, I don't know.
17:20
I want to say I overlooked him. OK.
17:22
It's just I wouldn't, I wouldn't say.
17:24
That might have been. He's Jake Johnson.
17:25
Man, that might have been a. Well, he still won the fight, so
17:27
that's a bad word. I I waited too long to start a
17:33
weight cut that I needed to take.
17:35
Oh. OK, Oh, that was the one where
17:37
your trainer really came into play to help you.
17:39
Well, my last two fights, yeah. Yeah, OK.
17:43
That makes sense. So are you going to are you
17:45
going to, are you going to continue cutting weight or are
17:47
you going to stay in a? Division I started already I'm
17:51
I'm I'm doing things different like I did in the beginning my
17:55
own project. I'm going to like that program I
17:59
had. So if you were to fight at your
18:01
normal weight, what would your What would your weight division
18:03
be? Or your weight class.
18:05
Before. OK.
18:07
And you see you drop down. Yeah, and we going to 160, this
18:11
fight going back 160. OK.
18:14
And what do you weigh right now? I don't.
18:17
Know, I don't know, it's kind. Of like, it's kind of like
18:22
pretty fast, yes, Phillip Rivers when he when he joined the
18:25
Colts, right from coming from your time with the first
18:27
question he answers. How much do we feel it's like
18:29
right, like right now? I have no idea man.
18:32
Yeah, I'm tired. I'm tired like 170 right now.
18:35
OK, OK, that's not bad. I mean, that's not bad.
18:40
If you're going down TO16154160, that's not bad.
18:42
That's not a lot of weight to cut.
18:44
What do you, what do you try to stay?
18:45
Do you have a a weight you try to maintain consistently?
18:48
So that way when you do have to cut, you're not cutting crazy.
18:51
Well, I told myself that I was going to stay within 1015 lbs on
18:55
my weight class. Yeah, but it didn't go that way.
19:00
His baby. And just like last week, kind of
19:05
gave up, you know? Yeah.
19:08
Like, I announced that I was done.
19:11
But someone acted as my manager, promoter.
19:14
He had. I had a talk with him.
19:17
Yeah, Is that ash still? Oh no, Ash as my partner, you
19:25
know what I mean? Oh, OK, we got you.
19:26
Hey, Ash. What up, Ash?
19:29
That's my yeah, yeah, probably a lot.
19:33
Yeah, Ash is good people, man. That's how we met you
19:34
originally. Ash reached out, Absolutely
19:36
start talking, and here you are. I'll do the Ash out of winning
19:40
fighters. Ash winning coach, man, I'm
19:42
proud of him. That's all.
19:46
Congratulations. Yeah, for sure.
19:50
So you have announced, yeah, you had announced that you were
19:53
going to quit boxing. Is that what I just heard you
19:55
say? I did.
19:58
I thought I read that on Facebook at one time and.
20:03
Yeah, it was a lot of stuff going on.
20:06
OK. Well, I had a lot of.
20:07
Fun. Yeah, well, I can't.
20:10
I mean, and all athletes, there's a sacrifice that has to
20:14
be made, right? Because you're an athlete and in
20:16
order for you to be the top of your game, you have to make a
20:19
lot of sacrifices. It's no different from from the
20:21
musician side of it. Like it's hard to have a family,
20:23
it's hard to have kids, it's hard to have relationships
20:25
because you got to be so hyper focused on the end game, which
20:28
for you, every boxer's goal should be to win the title,
20:31
right? And be the champion of the
20:32
world. So like, right.
20:34
And then you have a day job on top of that and then you have
20:38
kids on top of that and you have a home life on top of that.
20:42
So that's what really good. Yeah, that's what really got me.
20:47
My kids, baby the my the most. I was having trouble in school.
20:51
And then one day my my middle child, her name Ivy, she was
20:55
like that. You you never really have time.
20:57
You always gotta go to boxing. And that kind of like set me on
21:00
my tails. Oh yeah.
21:01
Oh, that'll break your heart. Yeah, Oh, I get it.
21:04
It's like you had to see her face when she said that.
21:09
Like she was, she was real serious.
21:12
Like serious and shit. So like, it made me think.
21:16
And then top of that with my daughter having trouble in
21:19
school and that's like, my kids miss me 'cause I get out of camp
21:23
and then jump right back into town.
21:25
Yeah. And then outside of camp, I'm
21:27
working overnights. So everything.
21:30
And all they understand is you're their dad.
21:32
They don't give a shit about anything else.
21:34
I don't care about any excuse you made.
21:36
Nope. Nope.
21:38
Nope. The brutal honesty of children,
21:40
man. Where you at, Dad?
21:42
I'm not there. Well, why not?
21:45
Well, let me tell you. So how did you rectify it in
21:49
your mind to come back to I'm going to take this seriously
21:53
again and I'm going to be able to do both things effectively
21:57
because that couldn't have been an easy decision to make.
22:01
Well, originally what you said about or Chris said about
22:04
sacrifices, like you're having to make an old sacrifice.
22:08
I had to make it up in my mind like it's going to be times I'm
22:11
not going to be there, but I'm trying to set a foundation for
22:15
them. I mean so.
22:18
Now, did you talk to them on their level about this?
22:22
I did, but I don't care. They might later on.
22:29
So I we, we practicing like on a bond activity that I'm taking in
22:35
a different place. Just like I'm sacrificing the
22:37
train, I gotta make sure I can sacrifice some, like my
22:42
sleepless son to take them to bond.
22:46
And yeah, my oldest, I'm listening to her like more.
22:50
I don't even know. She like anime and I love anime.
22:53
So we started bonding over that. That's cool.
22:56
That's awesome. I watched this show, Demon
22:59
Slayer, and I asked her about it and she said she already
23:02
finished the show. So that's how I thought I like
23:06
anime. And I mean, we started bonding
23:09
over that. That's cool.
23:11
That is really cool. Yeah, I used to do a thing with
23:13
with daughter. We used to do daddy daughter
23:16
date nights. Every Friday night.
23:19
We would go somewhere like, you know, telling sounds terrible,
23:23
but McDonald's or something like that.
23:24
And and then we'd go to Blockbuster when Blockbuster's
23:28
still around, you know, rent a video, come home, watch the
23:30
movie, eat some popcorn, you know, just this is before our
23:34
son was born. So it was the Daddy daughter day
23:37
and it was cool because it kind of you had that connection.
23:40
And then later in life, we did a thing where we called it Sunday
23:43
evening dinners where she and I would plan.
23:45
We in the morning, we would decide what we're going to have
23:46
for dinner that night and we would plan it out, go to the
23:49
store. We would, you know, do stuff
23:50
from scratch. Like I taught her how to make,
23:52
make lattice pie crust, you know, we'd bake pies and stuff
23:56
and just whatever it was, she'd have a complete hand and say and
24:00
everything we were doing. And we would just, that was like
24:02
our, our time to bond on Sunday, you know, And then when Jake
24:05
came along, it was different. Little caveats we would do with
24:08
him as well. So it's a cool thing to do just
24:11
even if it's only an hour a week, as long as you can kind of
24:14
grab that time, you know, and just hang out and do whatever it
24:18
it it, it will go a long way in their lifetime of memories of,
24:22
you know, my dad was busy. He was where he was supporting
24:25
the family. He was a boxer.
24:26
He was, you know, helping training people.
24:28
But you know, every Thursday at 6:00 to 7:00, it was, it was me
24:32
and dad just hanging out watching, you know, anime stuff
24:35
or, you know, going to the park or whatever.
24:38
It was like Jake and I had this thing where we would always, we
24:42
would play catch and it was, it was we get to 100, you know, and
24:45
if you, if you, the ball fell on the ground, you got to start
24:47
over. So we'd either get to 101 time
24:50
or take a 6-7 times to get to 100 consecutive back and forth,
24:53
whether it was with a baseball or football.
24:55
But that was just little things that you just did the bond and
24:57
it was, it was cool and simple and it goes a long way.
25:00
So kudos to that man. Keep digging on that and keep,
25:03
you know, this. It's just building memories,
25:05
which is all it's about, right? Build that legacy, you know, And
25:10
it doesn't hurt. Their dad's a bad ass boxer, so
25:12
that's cool, you know? Yeah, my my daughter, I'm
25:15
realizing I don't know if she thought I was like a square.
25:22
She realized it on my status now because like everywhere she go,
25:26
like her teachers and like a Bush job of people know me.
25:30
That's cool. Yeah, that's fun.
25:33
And also tell her, I mean, I got a lot of eyes on you so.
25:37
Yeah, right. Yep.
25:40
Let's Yeah. That'd be fun when your
25:42
daughters get to dating age and the boys come pick pick them up
25:45
for a date and you just open the door, you know, with your with
25:49
your I'm in the middle of the ring.
25:50
Look like, what's up, man? You know who I am, right?
25:53
Oh man. But then you have your
25:56
championship, but then you have your championship belt.
25:58
So you can answer that with your belt on, you know, get some
26:00
gloves, have your gloves on the belt on and just stand there.
26:03
You see that blood in my shoes? Yeah, that was the last guy took
26:06
my daughter out and came home late.
26:11
That would be fun. That would be, that'd be a cool
26:13
fly in the wall moment, just to see somebody pick up a a boxer's
26:16
daughter for a date. And he answers the door with a
26:18
belt on and gloves and he's all sweating.
26:20
Just ready yet? That's a great, that's a great
26:25
line for a, that's a great line for a movie.
26:28
I wasn't mad that he hit me. I was mad that he bled on my
26:31
shoes. Just keep that in mind.
26:38
Yeah, Yeah. Exactly how much do boxing shoes
26:41
cost now that we go back to that?
26:43
Yeah. Those is like 125, yeah.
26:46
Yeah, that's not you don't. Yeah, don't blame my shoes.
26:50
I need too bad I just thought it was white.
26:52
Right. That's yeah, yeah, You know, I
26:54
mean, it's now, do you, do you use this like, like a lot of
26:57
like football players now, right?
26:58
They won't wear the same shoes every game.
26:59
Do you Do you change shoes every time you fight?
27:02
Or I use those shoes twice. OK.
27:05
And that's it. Well, they comfortable like
27:09
those real sturdy shoes, like the moving was not the real good
27:13
athletic shoe. Yeah.
27:16
So I like using those. I'm gonna get a different pair
27:19
though. Gotcha.
27:20
I'm surprised it didn't cost more.
27:22
That's why I asked that. I, you know, I just figured they
27:24
would be hell of a lot more 'cause it's a, it's a, it's a
27:26
boxing shoe, you know, and everything.
27:28
Those written originally was on Pacquiao's The Hyper KO, but he
27:33
said what he said about the alphabet community and he I pull
27:39
his pill. Did you?
27:44
So being a boxer, you're also a boxing fan?
27:48
Did you watch the the fiasco, Jake Paulson and and Joshua?
27:54
I did. Talk to us about it, Jake.
27:57
From a professional boxer, yeah. What what happened was what was
28:01
supposed to happen. I think people felt like Anthony
28:05
Joshua was supposed to knock him out in the first round, but he
28:08
never been like smite of the knock guy first round.
28:11
He's strategic. He like, it's like you paint a
28:14
picture and yeah, you want that picture to be finished how you
28:18
wanted to finish. Right.
28:20
So he beat at him and beat at him like, like what?
28:24
Like how you explain he wanted to take his soul.
28:26
I think that's what he did, took his soul.
28:29
And then I agree. I was going off of a script, but
28:33
if it wasn't on script there that he was going to go by.
28:38
So when you're boxing somebody and they hug you, right?
28:41
They, they, what are they? They clench and shit like that.
28:44
Like when Jake Paul was dropping to his knees and hugging him and
28:46
shit. How did, how frustrated does
28:48
that make you as somebody who's trying to be on the offensive?
28:52
I actually dealt with that with my last fight.
28:55
I didn't have a clue how to get out of that.
28:58
Like he was a real good clinch artist.
29:02
He can, he came, he had me in certain walks were like OK, I
29:08
need to chill, get tired. So that was the first time you
29:11
had ever experienced that, where somebody did that to you on that
29:14
level? Yes, Sir.
29:16
And I didn't know how to get out of.
29:19
And it's, and they're not getting points for that shit.
29:21
All they're doing is, is so when they Clint, when they clench you
29:25
right, is that they call it when they clench you, are they
29:27
putting their body weight on you, trying to weigh you down?
29:32
Somebody bigger than you and he's tired.
29:34
He probably put his weight on and try to long way down but he
29:38
was hurt. Every time he clenched he was
29:41
hurt and. So you hurt him and then he
29:43
hugged you. Thank you.
29:45
I got too close. I should have kept my distance.
29:48
OK. But that was not something I
29:53
need to experience. When I hurt somebody, don't get
29:57
an opportunity to clench. Keep my distance in, get him
30:00
out. Keep jabbing, keep jabbing,
30:02
right? Because that's what the jab is
30:03
for, right? Is to keep that space between
30:05
the two. Well when working my faints and
30:08
letting him walk through something like I learned from
30:10
that fight a lot. That's good.
30:13
I would assume you learn from every fight because you're
30:15
fighting somebody different every time, right?
30:17
Yes, Sir, but I I really got the opportunity to learn against
30:20
somebody with more skill. Who's next?
30:27
Who's next on the on the on the Jig Johnson Horizon Our.
30:30
World got no we don't. Got no opponent yet but OK, same
30:35
results hopefully. I want to get him out before the
30:40
3rd. I don't want to keep going a
30:41
distance. Yeah, so now you're now you've
30:45
now your, your fights now are 6 rounds long.
30:49
No, just the my third fight was 6.
30:51
OK, So what are the typical fights for for a young
30:54
professional like yourself as far as you're concerned?
30:57
12/4? Four.
31:00
OK, four. Gotcha.
31:01
So by the time you hit like your your A fight, you'll probably
31:05
bump it to six, OK. And those are three minute
31:10
rounds. Yes, Sir.
31:12
And what's what's the actual time between the round A minute?
31:15
A minute. OK, it seems longer on TVI don't
31:18
know why. It does, right?
31:21
It totally does now when you're in the corner between rounds
31:27
because you, you know, with TV and stuff, they pan back and
31:29
forth. So you can't really see
31:30
everything that's going on for that, for that time.
31:33
So obviously your trainer's talking to, he's coaching you
31:35
up, he's giving you, you know, hints and tips.
31:36
I do this. Don't do that type thing.
31:38
Are you hydrating? Are they, I mean, I see, I see,
31:41
you know, they'll pull the, the, the trunks out, kind of open up
31:45
the air breathing. I'm assuming that's for all that
31:48
kind of jazz, everything they're doing in the corner.
31:50
Is it all, does it all have a purpose or it's just kind of
31:52
random like, you know, sponge on the head, cold water?
31:55
Obviously I like, I like the ice bag on the back of my neck and
32:01
my trying to pull on my trunks, my trunks, 'cause he pulled in
32:05
my cup. Your cup is like digging in your
32:07
stomach. And oh, that's why.
32:11
OK. That's why you see that was the
32:13
good cooks though. That's why you see your trainers
32:15
like pulling that day. Yeah, yeah, you got to have a
32:19
cup when you box. Oh, yeah, It's a surprise,
32:23
Surprise. Football players don't wear
32:24
cups, man. Because when you watch a
32:26
football game every now and then, you know, it's like, OK,
32:29
why aren't you wearing a cup, man?
32:30
Like I. Would I?
32:31
Would be a pain, a fast hit. I'll be shining these guys with
32:34
basketball wing shorts on, knees out.
32:39
Oh yeah. It's like protect the manhood,
32:42
man. Like I don't get that.
32:44
You know, it's I mean baseball always right, you have to.
32:47
I was catching baseball. So that thing was standard
32:49
protocol. Me too, right, This boxing have
32:53
to other now. Have you ever been have you ever
32:55
been low blown with the cup on and with because you have that
32:57
other thing too, right, You guys, I don't know what it is.
33:00
It's it's how do you what is that thing you wear?
33:02
It's like a girdle, but it's not a girdle.
33:04
That's the Cup. That's the all.
33:06
The whole thing's the cup. Yeah, that's the whole thing.
33:09
Oh, OK. I was thinking cup, cup, like
33:10
baseball cup. OK, That whole thing's a cup.
33:12
OK, gotcha. I didn't realize that either.
33:14
Yeah. Yeah, tell you a growing area
33:16
then you got. Yeah, yeah, OK.
33:19
You go all the way down there. So I typed in boxer cup and I
33:24
get a bunch of motorcycles. What is up with that?
33:29
I'm not even sure. I'm not either, man.
33:31
I I wanted to see a picture of it and just to show the world
33:34
what we're talking about. I'm curious your answer is.
33:38
I'm curious your answer to this question though.
33:40
Have you ever been low bloat or illegal hit sparring?
33:45
Only in sparring. Only in sparring I actually was
33:47
like. Did you want to kill your
33:49
sparring partner when he heard it?
33:52
Was it accidental? It was accidental.
33:54
It wasn't OK. No, you still wanted to kill him
33:56
though, So that's really, I don't want that stupid thing.
34:02
So that's the cup, That's the Boston Cup, which I didn't, I
34:05
didn't know. I legit thought it was baseball
34:08
cup. So I didn't know that whole that
34:10
whole piece right there was the actual the actual cup itself.
34:13
Why did you do that thing? Like there it is on the guy.
34:17
Like I had no idea that was the whole.
34:19
That's what that makes sense now, because I always wonder why
34:21
there, there you go there you go.
34:22
That's where you put the manhood.
34:24
OK, makes more sense now. Totally makes more sense now.
34:29
That's why you have the the trunks over it, so that you're
34:32
not, you're not out there in the world.
34:33
And that still hurts when you get hit in that, huh?
34:37
Yeah, it's if somebody hit you the right way.
34:39
I I haven't been hurt severely. Like I can see how people can
34:45
like drop down from getting hit by full yeah like that or yeah.
34:50
And it really felt you have somebody dated intentionally.
34:53
Like, I could imagine if Mike Tyson's uppercut was a little
34:56
too misguided and it hit right there that you would drop to
34:58
your knees for a while. Exactly, you know they give you
35:02
5 minutes to recover from a low blow.
35:05
That still doesn't work. If you've ever been hit the
35:06
family jewels, it's the nausea. Twice.
35:09
And that's, and that's right. And it's not even from a boxer.
35:12
And balloons go off for Mike. I mean, twice, twice enough
35:18
without being a professional boxer, right.
35:20
So back to the the Jake Paul nonsense.
35:24
So he broke his jaw. He's got pins in his jaw in two
35:26
places now. So I want you to, I want you to,
35:29
to tell us if this is accurate or not.
35:31
Because all the bullshit online you can't believe anymore.
35:34
So is it true that if you break your jaw like that and you have
35:37
you have pins and stuff in your jaw now that you can never box
35:40
again? If it's permanent, I would
35:45
imagine it's old, yeah. Apparently it's permanent, but
35:49
he doesn't act like it's going to prevent him because now all
35:51
of a sudden, Tyson's like, oh, I'm going to fight you again,
35:54
unscripted. OK, Mike.
35:56
Yeah. You kind of already, you know,
35:58
the world knows you need the money, which is cool.
35:59
You know, you do your thing, but even I don't know if we talked
36:03
about that last time either, but there's no way Tyson should not
36:07
have knocked Jake Paul down in the first freaking round or two.
36:11
You know, he just yeah, it was, it was, it was.
36:17
And the fact that he's still fighting, we're talking to
36:19
somebody. I think it was Mike the friend
36:21
Michael Rose that that sparred for the first time realized.
36:25
Holy shit, You know that the older you get, the reason why
36:30
you get slower is because your legs they're just they're, you
36:33
know, they just can't handle the, the, the, the ring anymore,
36:38
right? Like they just can't.
36:39
You can't no matter what you do. You're like, if I'm I'm 55 years
36:42
old, I'm nowhere near in the shape that you're in, but I
36:45
can't imagine getting into a boxing ring right now at a 55
36:48
year old, even if I was in boxing shape to do what you guys
36:51
have to do for three minutes. That's the constant movement.
36:55
They always, they always say the best transition athletes outside
37:02
of boxing that won a box, tennis players, basketball players,
37:06
soccer players and swimming. Soccer.
37:09
Soccer for sure. Soccer.
37:11
Yeah, Yeah. That's nonstop.
37:12
In that field is gigantic. Yeah, tennis.
37:17
Tennis. Yeah, I should say that too.
37:18
I never thought it either. Hockey would be another one.
37:22
Hockey's crazy because hockey's kind of like boxing.
37:24
I saw this thing there. They're always moving.
37:26
The two hockey players got pissed off each other and then
37:28
suddenly ice and they straight up were boxing.
37:30
Oh, yeah, They were straight up boxing.
37:32
It's boxing. And the one guy, right?
37:34
And the one guy knocked got knocked out.
37:35
Like, I mean, they just I mean they really they were just it
37:39
was like Rocky three at the end with Mr. T and Balboa just going
37:42
at it and. I had a hockey game back on
37:46
sagging. Right.
37:48
Yeah, yeah. Hard for the game.
37:53
Did you have Mike Tyson's Punch Out?
37:56
That was before my time, Chris. Oh, I just dated myself.
38:00
That's sad. I put a lot of quarters in that
38:02
game. It's OK.
38:03
It's OK. Yeah, Mike Tyson's Punch Out was
38:05
legit, dude. It was pretty cool.
38:07
You had to. You had, Yeah, you.
38:09
And once you got to Mike Tyson, he kicked your ass like every 20
38:12
seconds. It sucks.
38:14
Are you going to beat him? No, no, he's Tyson.
38:17
It was like. Any other game back in the day,
38:20
there were hacks that you could do, but no, it was impossible to
38:23
beat him once you got to him. It was so frustrating.
38:25
But it was, I mean, that's the Tyson man.
38:27
That was his, his peak, right? You just, you know, you can't
38:30
beat Tyson in a video game. Sacrilegious.
38:33
You know, even with the hacks, it just didn't work.
38:39
It's crazy. But that's, you know, that's the
38:41
fun about it, right? Video games, Yeah.
38:43
So what are you doing? Your downtime Besides so.
38:46
So the kids are to school. You got the day off.
38:48
You don't have to train. What are you doing?
38:50
What are you doing just to chill and relax?
38:52
Well, now I've been getting ready for this hit class like I
38:56
got to go to turn out with it's all women.
38:59
It's called the hip hop sweatshop.
39:01
So right now my time is going on protecting that program is and
39:05
I'm pretty sore from that, but it's also helping me get ready
39:08
for my fight. So right now, in this downtime,
39:13
go ahead. And this is this a new business?
39:16
No, it's my training business. That's what I've been doing.
39:20
Oh, that's right. I had that up earlier.
39:21
OK. Yeah, yeah.
39:24
I had this class five years ago. Well, I brought it back.
39:29
Cool, what does this class entail?
39:30
Because you said it specifically for women, so why is it geared
39:33
towards women? It's hit, it's synchronized
39:36
workouts. It's just I got it right here.
39:41
A lot of men got stuff to do. Right.
39:44
Yeah, a lot of men have things to do far as like boxing, for
39:48
example. A lot of men come in box, you
39:51
got wrecked basketball leagues and stuff like that's plenty of
39:55
stuff for men to do. For women is not really much
40:01
going on for them to get involved with.
40:04
So I just offered an outlet that one can come and relax.
40:08
And get in shape, you know? Yep, that's.
40:10
Really good health and well, they have fun at the same time.
40:15
And there, there it is on the screen like a hip hop sweatshop.
40:18
All women take awesome. Get ready to sweat, sculpt and
40:21
vibe. A fun high energy workout to hip
40:24
hop music designed to tone burn calories and boost confidence
40:28
and then. And then down below booty bands
40:30
provided. They definitely don't feel it
40:34
there. Yeah, my wife did something,
40:37
something kind of like that at EOS.
40:39
I forget what it's called, but I, I was there one day in the
40:43
weight room when another one of those class was going on and I
40:45
was like just at corner of my eye, like damn, it's just, it's
40:48
non-stop, non-stop. I'm like, that would kick
40:53
anybody's ass. Oh yeah, but I'm a preach to
40:58
them man. Like they hold each other
41:00
accountable, everybody just come together and state today plan or
41:05
whatever their New Year's resolution is or their own
41:08
purpose of those right this class, it definitely helped and.
41:12
That's cool. Let me ask you this jig.
41:14
I just thought of this question. So Chris and I obviously come
41:17
from the music world and we have people that we looked up to that
41:21
inspired us to do what we do. Who are your favorite boxers
41:24
that made you want to do this or that you look up to even now
41:28
today? #1 Roy Jones Junior like I was,
41:34
I was a big fan of his since before I knew I was going to
41:37
even do boxing. Right on.
41:40
You know, when I got into boxing, I realized educational
41:45
purpose is you can't watch Roy Jones.
41:47
Yeah, what you can't teach. So educational purposes, Andre
41:51
Ward and Floyd Mayweather was two guys I really watched.
41:58
Both shining examples of great boxers for sure.
42:03
Floyd will teach you how to not get hit your entire career.
42:07
Yeah, I learned that. I I learned that from talking to
42:09
Jig last time. Like I didn't, I never realized
42:11
that Mayweather's whole entire existence in life was not to get
42:16
hit in the ring. Like, he drives me nuts watching
42:19
him, but right. But it's such a frustrating
42:21
boxer to watch. And well, he was pretty well
42:24
Floyd. He he didn't have that kind of
42:26
care. Oh, that's right.
42:27
Pretty, Yeah. Yeah, yeah, he was kill you.
42:30
He really cared if you hit him or not.
42:32
But when he started breaking his hands and became Money
42:35
Mayweather, that's the one people called boring.
42:39
Oh, that's what they are. That's what they remember the
42:40
most. They don't remember pretty well.
42:43
That's that's that's you say that that's true, that's totally
42:46
true, which. He's had two.
42:47
I didn't think about that. I.
42:48
Didn't think about that at all. And his dad fought, right?
42:51
And his uncles. Yeah, OK.
42:54
Well, well. His dad lost to Sugar Ray
42:58
Leonard. Oh, yeah, Sugar Ray, man, that's
43:01
right. See, I'll see.
43:02
I grew up on those like Sugar Ray, Marvelous Marvin Hagler,
43:05
Tommy Hearns. You know, I think Ollie was
43:09
still around later. In his prime, those guys, Sugar
43:13
Ray and Tommy Ryan and a little bit of Hagler, but we don't got
43:17
the same style. So it was more of a Sugar Ray.
43:20
I watched him a lot. Yeah.
43:23
Who do you think was the most underrated boxer in in, in your
43:26
lifetime as far as who you looked up to and saw just in
43:29
general? The one that just he should have
43:31
got there, but he didn't. That was a good question, huh?
43:37
That is a. Great question.
43:41
Because because there's tons of boxers, right?
43:43
It's only only the few get to the upper echelon of the sport
43:47
so. Well, I won.
43:50
I know somebody who was pretty much on their way, but tragedy
43:54
stuck in the rain. Prichard Cologne, Puerto Rican
43:57
fighter. He, he got handed back of the
44:00
head too many times and he passed out and he went into a
44:05
calm. He came out of a coma or
44:08
vegetable, you know. Yeah.
44:10
Oh, that's terrible, man. You got hit in the back of the
44:13
head. Too many times, though, I
44:15
watched that fight. The referee was.
44:18
Hit how? How do you get hit in the back
44:19
of the head? It can be accidental.
44:23
You could throw a hook and he's trying to slip the shot and in
44:27
the back, but it's dude, he kept doing it and referee wasn't
44:29
really doing his job. Yeah, but I feel like he would
44:35
have been a champion for a good minute.
44:37
Yeah, that much skill, That much.
44:40
And put your Cologne like you look up your stories.
44:42
Kind of sad especially you watch that fight.
44:47
Yeah. Have you ever taken any of those
44:52
kind of shots yourself, Jake? Yeah, I've been in the back of
44:55
the head a few times. What time?
45:00
What is it? What is it?
45:01
Yeah, I was, yeah, I was just cast that.
45:03
What's the difference of a of a back of the headshot to just
45:05
square in the face? Well, a back of the headshot and
45:11
pretty much rattle your brain a little differently.
45:14
It's the reason why it's illegal.
45:17
Your brains not supposed to go from the back to the front I
45:20
would assume. I gotta look up exactly how it
45:24
is to be able to explain to you better, but.
45:26
It must be more dangerous like you said, they wouldn't have
45:29
made it illegal. It is.
45:33
I was like slightly concussed. I didn't really know I was
45:38
concussed, but I just felt like I was on, like I had to throw
45:40
up. So I thought maybe a sign back
45:43
for training. Yeah.
45:46
But well, the headaches to end the irritation from the lights
45:52
on top of being nauseous. Nauseous.
45:57
I looked it up. That's what made me look it up.
45:59
And then I went to the hospital. Yeah.
46:02
Wow. That's good.
46:03
That's good. You went to the hospital.
46:08
Have you ever been concussed in a fight?
46:10
Yeah. That's not a lot of the fight
46:12
that happened is fine. OK, OK.
46:15
But never in a fight. You've never got concussions
46:17
from fighting. That's 'cause you keep.
46:19
Your hands up, that's what. That's the one thing that I
46:22
thought was when was was stupid for Jake Paul in that fight with
46:25
with Anthea Joshua by the middle of the.
46:27
First hand, his hands off. Right.
46:28
Well, he started and then his hands are down here.
46:31
And so, so you as a boxer, you're in the ring with
46:33
somebody. His hands are down here.
46:35
That's just fair game in your head, right?
46:36
Like I'm going to light you up. Yeah, I don't know what he was
46:42
thinking like. That's what I kept saying.
46:44
I'm not even a. Boxer what?
46:45
Put your hands. On your face.
46:47
He looked like he was in the shoulder roll stance.
46:49
Like when people see me in the shoulder roll, like my last
46:51
fight, like I was in the shoulder roll a good amount of
46:53
times. But I know how to use that
46:55
defense. Like if somebody got an open
46:58
lane to my face, I'm pretty much gonna roll it off my shoulder.
47:02
So my shoulder rolls like that, Shoulders like you turn like
47:04
that. Yeah, and you keep your chin,
47:07
cutting your shoulder and like his angles, you got to use your
47:10
legs. With it.
47:11
Oh, OK. It's my shoot a shot.
47:12
You can ride your shoulder up, you know, roll under, but it's
47:17
not it's more into that it's a real response.
47:21
It's Floyd master that he but yeah, far as Jake Paul, it
47:27
looked like he was in the show roll position, but he didn't do
47:30
nothing. No, he kept letting him hit him
47:32
in the face. Yeah, and he kept dropping to
47:34
his knees and hugging him. Yeah.
47:36
This time the way he was boxing you 200 lbs like you need to be
47:41
bought like that as since adolescence.
47:44
You can't just wait till you a grown man and try to use the use
47:47
your feet like that's a real draining style to try to use
47:52
like a like I leave box like that moved around the entire
47:56
time. Except people dope the rope a
48:00
dope stuff. When he got older and his legs
48:03
wasn't the same. Oh, so that's when I transferred
48:07
to that kind of stuff. OK, see you shit you learned
48:09
talking to Jig man. And when you your legs
48:14
everybody, won't they last be the same?
48:16
I guess nobody last stay the same as a a stuff for LeBron.
48:20
But but yeah, your lads start tending to go as you get older.
48:27
But somebody like Jake Paul don't try to use that style.
48:32
I could tell Anthony, Joshua, Noah wasn't our That's why I
48:35
just kept walking forward. Yeah, he did.
48:38
I was. Yeah.
48:39
I was surprised it took him as long as it did to knock him out.
48:42
But like you said, he was he was painting his own picture.
48:45
You know, he's he's earning his $92 million now.
48:49
He's quite. Go ahead, Go ahead.
48:51
Sorry. No, I'm sorry.
48:52
Go ahead. Now we see somebody using the
48:55
whole ring like that. They got to produce that in
48:57
shape to be able to box like that the whole fight.
49:02
That makes sense. Absolutely.
49:04
That totally makes sense. People just know like float like
49:07
a butterfly, sting like a bee. What they don't understand how
49:09
draining it is to be floating like that.
49:12
Yeah, yeah, Especially for as heavy as Ollie fought because he
49:16
was heavyweight, so. And Jake, that was.
49:20
Right. It's like, right?
49:21
That's true. Knowing that style not going to
49:22
work like when I see him doing that like.
49:25
Game over, game over. It's a lot easier for you and I
49:29
at our weight to bounce around than it is somebody that's 225
49:33
definitely for an extended period of time that that totally
49:36
makes sense. Yep.
49:39
Absolutely, absolutely. We got about 5 minutes left here
49:43
because we know you want to get on with your life.
49:45
Anything you want to share, anything you want to talk about,

49:52
friend. Oh man, it's always good to talk
49:55

49:59

50:03
the women in the area and surround the area to check it
50:05
out at least once. And tell everybody where you're
50:09
at. Again, I'm.
50:09
Going to pull it up again too while you're talking.

And real quick, while we're on the subject, everybody start
51:10
going to the Chris and mikeshow.com because Jake did
51:16
what he was asked. And one of the reasons we're
51:18

partnered with Riverside FM because we do so all our stuff
52:08
on Riverside FM. So they helped absorb the cost
52:11
first for the year for what we spend money to do the podcast.
