• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, what up boxing fans. This is the Rope of
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Dope radio podcast. I'm your host, Chris Carlson here live
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: on a Thursday. My apologies, life gotten the way, couldn't
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: do it Tuesday and Wednesday, but we are back to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: talk some boxing. We will, lightly because it is Thursday,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: do some recap, won't get too involved. We'll talk about
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: David Allen's big victory, a couple other items. Bulicheck Fox,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Bulletchuck definitely did not look good in that fight. It
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: appears there was a miss knockdown in it too, so
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: we'll talk a little bit about that. Of course, we'll
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: preview and predict what's coming up this weekend. Honing in
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: on Josh Taylor in s song. This is an interesting fight,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: not because you know, it's a great matchup or anything
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: like that, but just like Josh Taylor's been talking about
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: how one forty has drained him for so long. But
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you know, was it just the weight stuff in his
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: last couple of losses or is he just you know,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: long in the tooth basically, you know, I don't know.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, if Taylor comes out of this with a
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: big win, I still think not that it's not a
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: positive thing, right, he needs a win, but I don't
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: think we can look too deep into it. This is
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: kind of Esmund is a good, solid prospect, kind of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: domestic level fringe contender at forty seven. So we'll see
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: how Taylor looks as far as the weight. But like
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I said, I don't know how, I don't know, I
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: don't know how much I'll weigh it after if he
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: does win very cleanly, because you know he should basically
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: also Angelo and Tamika Tamika to Moco Tomochi Comita, this
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: should be a really good fight. Comita is a very
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: experienced guys. He's had what forty forty six fights or
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: something like that, never been stopped. Leo obviously coming off
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a big knockout over Lopez. So we're previewing, predict that,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: talk a little bit about, you know, some fight news,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and a little boxing Twitter stuff as we you know,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: wrap this thing up. Won't be a super long show,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: but yeah, well end with Given my opinions, I think
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: get some messages here in the last couple of days
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: or over the last week that I'll respond to as well.

  Speaker 1: you go. Direct TV Stream all right, So where are
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: we gonna start here? Well, I mean I really want
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to pretty much focusing on David Allen's victory Fisher Allen.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: You know, Fisher was in control of that fight, not
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that he was doing a ton of damage per se
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: like you know, left and right. But he definitely was
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: winning the fight. I mean, I gotta admit, like Alan
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: looked out of shape as far as just his body.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: He's never gonna look great. Some boxers just don't, especially
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: at heavyweight, right, but he looked bad, you know, he
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: looks really it just and he said, oh, I'm gonna
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: put the extra weight so I can bang and everything.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: And you know that may be true or whatever to
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: an extent, but I just think you'd want to be
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: in better shape than that. I gotta admit I was
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a little surprised, you know, how he looked. I'll say
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: that now looks can be to see. And ultimately, you know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I give him credit. You know, I did get a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: nice plus number for the knockout. But yeah, I was
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I was a little surprised how he looked. I was
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: thinking that Fisher may you know, be right around the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: way he was, And I did think that he would
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: land some punches, jab and all that, and then move.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I really thought he would be kind of more on
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the move a little bit, not like boxing on the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: outside sticking move and dancing and all that and you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: getting gassed. But I did like his jab from the start,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: basically to the stomach, a couple other lands. I gave
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Fisher the first round. The second round kind of hitting
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: hold mode, like a decent right hand. You saw Ellen
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: throwing punches, but most of them were more like looping punches.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: They weren't really all that effect, I thought. In the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: third rounds, I gave Fisher the second. In the third,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I thought he landed some really nice body shots early
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: later in the round, a little past the midway point,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: there was a nice exchange and a really really nice
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: left hook by Alan with under a minute left in
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: that third round, But late there was a nice upper
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: cut by Fisher and just jabs and body work. I
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: still thought he won the round, but I did start
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: to take note, like, okay, Alan found something here with
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that left hook. Fourth round comes around right hands to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the body in the head, you know, throughout the round
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: with the jab or just the one two. I gave
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: him another round. So I honestly didn't give you know,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: maybe you could have gave him the third with that
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: nice left hook from Alan, but other than that, I didn't.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't give him any of those rounds. Obviously. The
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: fifth round came around, I thought Fisher actually landed fairly
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: well early and then Alan landed some really good body
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: punches and a looping right hand and the left hook
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: in a big, big right hand. He landed under a minute,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: then a left hook to the body. It was kind
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: of like a left hook to the body, and then
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: a big right hand and he was down. Fisher and
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: his legs looked completely gone. I think it was like
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: an uppercut. Two body shots and I think a left
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: hook finished them off. They called it. They are like,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: it's done. You know, it is completely done. Like I said,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: he did give up. Credit to him. Fisher did get up,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: but he was he was done in the corner, threw
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: in the towel. He was gonna go down again. It
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: was over. It was a knockout. So Alan, like I said,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: credit to him, man, he he did his thing. He
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: did his thing. Like I said, I had a nice
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: little plus number, and credit goes out to him. You know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: he'll get a big fight his career, at least for now.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: You know. It sounds like he's now with Mattrum again
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: with Eddie Hearn, So he'll he'll be active, he'll make
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: some more money. We'll see exactly where you know what
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: level he fights at, but shouts out to him man
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: that that was a big, big win for him. And
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: then you know, Fisher, you know, I thought he got
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I thought it may be a draw
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: in the first fight, but I actually had Alan win
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: in that fight, so you know, to me, I thought,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I thought he got screwed in that first fight a
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: little bit. So you know, you could say, go back
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: to the drawing board, but you might as well just
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: fight like right around this level and see if he
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: can improve. I mean, you're it's not like you've had
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of fights right as far as the number
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: of them, and maybe you can find something in there.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, Ellen just playing that gatekeeper role
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: to a t Like I said, I thought he won
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the first fight, so shouts out to Alan. The bullet
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: truck box fight, like I said, there was like a
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't call it a slip, but maybe a stumble.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: But either way, boat Truck put himself in a in
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: a like off balance. He didn't you know, he was
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: kind of squared up and you could say all the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: five Fox didn't really land a good punch, but there
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: was a punch landed and he hit the deck, you know,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: so I thought it should have been counted a knockdown.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: That said, though, like I didn't have Fox winning, I'll
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: say that, but Fox just it just wasn't a good fight.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: You know, I thought there was you know, I thought
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: he right off the bat in the first round. I
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: did think Fox, you know, did pretty good. And you know,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Boa Chuck was was coming. You know, he's bringing that
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: come forward style that he that he does, and I
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: thought that he did okay eventually. I didn't think he
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: was laying all that well. But you know, I would
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: have liked to see Fox really try to really try
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: to stop Boa Chuck and his tracks more and I
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: guess you could say, like step into his bunches, like really,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: you know, I thought there was a moment there where,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: you know, I just think we need a little bit
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: more out of Fox to give him the fight. But
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Boa Chuck, I'm not trying to take anyway from Fox either,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: because Boachuk looked like crap and he's a fighter that's
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: kind of up, down and all around depending on who
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: he's fighting. And I gave him the wind, but it
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: was ugly and I did think that it could have
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: been called a knockdown. I really do. I understand some
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: people say, oh, he kind of you know, it was
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: like not necessarily a slip, but like a stumble or something,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and his feet weren't properly balanced or whatever. But it's like, well,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: it wasn't like it was from you know, was it
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: like a canvas monster you know that grabbed him Like
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: it wasn't. They didn't get their legs tied up or
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: their feet tied up. So to me, you know, it
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: was just a bad fight. I gotta admit, But I
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: do think, like I said, I think that they you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I think that they missed one. I really do very
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: underwhelming basically Boa Chuck. He just having issues like bringing
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: efficient pressure, like he wasn't cutting off the ring all that. Well,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: you know, it didn't look good, but I didn't know,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: if you know, I don't think Fox necessarily did enough
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: either to be like, oh he won. He got screwed
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: like I've seen some people say he got robbed. I
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: didn't see that, but in the same breath, you know,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: it is what it is. I did see this knockout
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: from Japan from uh Tanagucci nasty nasty left hand, I
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: mean right during exchange he stood the dude up and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: just dropped him. Definitely one of the uh, definitely one
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: of the you know knockouts of the year, that is
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: for sure. Also, I did watch that Mazuki Hirotzi. I
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: think it's here Herota Herota that. I think it was
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: a super flyweight title on that Hollywood Night three sixty boxing.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: She looked good. She had a nice little outfit onto
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: before not saying it weirdly, it was it was a
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: cool outfit. She just kind of sprang it open. It
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: was okay that that sounded really good. Pause and I apologize.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't mean to say like that, but like it
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: was just a cool ring entrance as she removed something,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: and it was kind of just like, oh, that's cool. Also,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: you had I did see a nice knockout. I think
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: this one was Perry from Tuton Voldie Tutin. Nice left hook.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: That was a nice little shot there. What else did
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: we have here? I think that's about it. Oh and
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: you know we did have we had some crazy, crazy
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: stuff going on in the Dominican Republic, you know, going
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: after you know, a ref crazy shit happened in that ring.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: So that that happened too. That happened too. That was
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: That was pretty crazy, man, That was that was pretty crazy.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Also Carlos Garcia, who's just an action packed, like combination puncher.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I think he's now eighteen and oh or nineteen and oh.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: He he had a nice win. He definitely is an
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: exciting fighter, that's for damn sure, like really really exciting
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: fun fire to watch seeing these clips of these combinations
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: he's throwing, you know, definitely, uh, definitely definitely fun to watch.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: We'll see if you know that style is gonna you know,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: bode well because I don't know. But he's a prospect,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: very young, so we'll see where he goes onto this weekend.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: So Josh Taylor and s es menes you mon su
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Men Kyle Esman su Man, you know, like he's a
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: good fighter, you know, I would I would say he's
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: more of like you know, fringe contender range at Welterwait,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: he's twenty one and one, doesn't have many knockouts. He
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: lost recently in a twelve rounder to Harry Scarf. He
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: did be to unbeaten ten and l prospects lately. He'd
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: beat Chris Kongo a while back. You know, he's okay,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: he's Okay, he definitely brings like an exciting, pressure packed,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: you know, high active volume to the fight with Taylor,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: though it's really like, I mean, it's been over three
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: years since the last time he had his hand raised,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: and actually one can make an argument that you could
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: date it all the way back to late twenty twenty
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: two with that win with Jack Caterall, like he barely
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: got that win, so you could go all the way
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: back to Ramirors potentially before he got a win. So,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: you know, much has been talked about this whole time
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: about how one forty was killing him, and I remember
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: for a while he was gonna go up and wait,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: you know, he took these long breaks, and when you
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: have these long breaks and then you go to try
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: to make weight, it's not ideal. You know, it's not ideal.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: So you know, is one forty seven gonna be better
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: for him? Well? Sure? Like making the weight, yeah, like,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: you know, not having to whittle away those last couple
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: of pounds will give him energy. I'm sure he'll feel great.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you know, supposedly had this great camp and whoops,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not doubting it. But yeah, so I think one
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: forty seven will feel better for him, and he may
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: look better. He maybe have more energy and all of that,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: more more spunk right pause, possibly there. But to be fair,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not going to call this a one showcase,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: but it's kind of a catch twenty two. If he doesn't,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: if Taylor doesn't look good in this fight, and it's
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: a really close fight, no like Shade to mess him,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: but it wouldn't be a good look for Taylor. And
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: if he doesn't cleanly win this fight, then he should
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: probably hang him up. And if he doesn't hang up, hey,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: that's his prerogative. But you know, we'll know for sure
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: that he's he's he's a you know, he's just done.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: It does kind of appear that he's done more than
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: it's just the weight. Like I said, I we won't
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: know if he passes this test. Let's see who he fights,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: you know, later in the year, and if it's a
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: quality opponent at forty seven, then we can start to
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: really make like, okay, you know what. I think he's
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: got more in the tank, you know, But as far
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: as like how the fight will play out, I do
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: think that Taylor where he uses JAB, I think he'll
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: use his you know, footwork. I think he'll kind of
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: mix in and out. Esmond will come forward. Like I said,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: he brings a fun style matchup, but Taylor is very
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: crafty on the inside, and so I think he'll just
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: land the better punches, the cleaner punches, and I think
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: he's gonna win by unanim's decision. Could he knock him out?
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: He could, he could, But like I said, I mean,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: if he knocks him out, it's a great knockout. That's impressive, right,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: But let's see what he does after this before we say,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: see it was just the weight, you know that. That's
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: where I'm at with Josh Taylor right now, because it
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: kind of feels like he peaked a while ago. And
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: like I mentioned it, of course, trying to make that
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: weight when you shouldn't, you know, that's an issue. But
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: then I guess you should have moved up if that
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: was the case, you know, And I get it. Like
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: tale Fima Lopez was a big win for him or
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: big fight for him, and he had that rematch of Catterall,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: but yeah, he just he just look not even a
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: step slow. He looked a little slower than a step slow.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: But I do have him winning by decision also moses
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: a tuma at at tama where Harvey said, I know
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: his pop says it one way. Didn't he say, like, well,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: if Siri says it this way, that's what we're going with.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I'd probably take how your pop says his name over Siri.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: But hey, what do I know? Right? Angelo Leo and
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Tamika guy said it again? Tomiki is it to Tomaki?
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Tomachi comita Cameda Camda is a good fighter, Like he's
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: not this world beater person, but I think he's a
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: very good fighter. And he's been around the block right
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: a couple times. He's got a lot of fights. He's
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: never been stopped. He's never been stopped in like forty
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: six fights or something like that. But that number right,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: that yeah, forty two and four, But he only has
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: twenty three knockouts. He is more of a volume puncher
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: rather than you know, a knock you out guy. He's
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: got some he's got some fluidity to his punches at times,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: he gets a little wide though, but very good volume.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: You know. Definitely his game. In fact, you could say
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: at times like it's one thing to engage. Sometimes he's
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: overly overly engages. If that makes sense. This definitely, I
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: believe will be his last big opportunity to try to,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: you know, win a belt. And he's, like I said,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: he's a game fighter, never been stopped. But you know,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: is he just kind of passed it? You know, I
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: think that's a fair question. He did lose in twenty
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: thirteen to you know, pretty okay fighter, but he he
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: did avenge it. He lost to Ray Vargas a while back,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: but that Jamie McDonald fight McDonald, it was back to
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: back in twenty fifteen. I thought he won the first fight.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I thought he won the first fight. I did think
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: he got screwed there. But he's gonna bring you know,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: he's gonna bring it, if that makes sense now, Leo.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Obviously he's won five in a row now. His last
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: one over Luis Alberta Lopez was a great highlight reel
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: type knockout upset. And he's put five solid wins together
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: since his first loss to Stephen Fulton. And you know,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: like he did get cleanly beat by Fulton, no doubt
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: about that, but you know, he was still he was
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: still in there. You know, he just didn't win many realms.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: It was kind of competitive in a sense, within the rounds.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: But Layo is a banger too. That's why I think
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: the styles match up. You know, I do think Leo
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: will start with the body work, you know, with both hands,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: hooks with both hands, and I think that establishing his
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: jab against a guy like this will be a key,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: definitely a key. And you know, the once you establish
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: the jab, once you get the you know, the bodywork going.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I think those left hooks, which is especially his excuse me,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: left hooks, will we'll definitely find a home, but especially
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: during exchanges. And I talked about how you know, Comita
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: tends to overly engage. I think that's ultimately what will
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: be his downfall. The more accurate, the tighter, shorter punch,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: especially a left hook, will be layout. Now that said,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: just because you're more than capable of banging it out
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: on the inside in the trenches, doesn't mean he should
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: do that, you know, the whole time. So I think
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: just the subtle movement right, the step to the side,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: step around the pivot, maybe even a clinch from time
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: to time. I think kind of a mixture of you know,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: he does come forward, he will establish the jab, but
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I just think that it's gonna be two way, it's
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: gonna be entertaining. But then down the stretch, whether it's
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the last four or five rounds something like that, in
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: the second half of the fight, look for Lao to
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: be the one really landing the telling punches, you know,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: the meaningful punches. And I just think Leo is kind
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: of on the way up. Like I said, he went
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: full circle loss this belt and then now it's earned
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: it all the way back. So this is on pro
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: box if I hadn't said that, and it's from Japan,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: so that's kind of cool, pro Box doing their thing.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: I do have Leo by unanimous decision as well, but
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: like I said, I do think it'll be a fun,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: fun fight, spirited fight. But oops, overall, I just don't
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: see Comita, you know, able to get over that hump
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: now as far as and to be fair here, like
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: you know Comitia, if you do like Comita, like there's
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: some value in him, that's for sure. There There definitely
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: is he as anywhere from A plus three eighty all
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: the way up to fando a plus four forty. I
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: think my bet was uh Layout by decision minus one
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: fifty one or something like that, and I and I
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: think uh actually, hold on, I think I got that wrong.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I think it's one. It's actually I think that's the
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Sorry about this, I'm pretty sure that's that's tailor. If
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: he wins by decision, it's one sixty one. That's what
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I think it is, because I'm pretty sure by decision
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: it's a much it's like minus one oh two or something.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: For let me check really quick for Laoe. I think
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: I got those backwards. Pretty sure I got those backwards.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Let me see here. So all right, sorry, it's it's
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: just messing up for some Okay, there we go. All right,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: so let's see here, make sure I get this correct.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: But like I said, I do think it's gonna be
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: a damn good fight. Matxy Hughes returns to as does
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Terry Harper against Natalie Zimmerman. She you know, Harper shouldn't
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: have a problem with that one. Also Perez and uh
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: calexxito calex sito renee, I forgot how you say his name.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: But that that should be a good fight too. That's
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: probably the most competitive one. Okay, Yeah, so Lao by
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: decision is minus one sixty one. So I was right.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I guess I was right. I could have sworn that
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: it was let me see the tailor one. Now this
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: is just great podcasting, isn't it. Sorry about this. I
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: thought I had it already here, but at the website
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: kinda crashed or something. I don't know what shit happened. Okay,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: So by decision yes, minus one oh five minus one
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: oh five, h Taylor. If you think he's gonna knock
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: him out, that's plus two twenty two. So you make
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: the call. But I think it's gonna be two decision
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: wins is my it's my best bet. That's what I'm thinking.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking is gonna happen. So let's get
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: into a little bit of news and some boxing Twitter
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: stuff and then we'll get the hell out of here.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: It does look like they finalized the Taylor Serrano Netflix
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: six different championship fights. That's pretty cool. We heard that
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Turkey was talking about making of course Tayo Fema Lopez
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: and Boots Ennis. Hopefully they get that over the line.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm really hoping that that happens. But Turkey
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: also said that he's working on Ryan Garcia Devin Haney,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: and it's like, no, no, thanks not. You should have
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: just went right to that fight. You didn't Garcia got beat.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I think are set like it's just no point in
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: making that fight. I really don't. I don't think so,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: not right now. An Oscar de la Hoya told Fight
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Up that you know, he has no interest in making
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: that fight either. Now, maybe the money will be interesting
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: and and that'll turn you know, turn it around. But
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: so Floyd Schofield Senior, it midst the turning down a
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: million dollars to fight Abdullah Mason, right, and he said,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: we took the longevity instead, with Golden Boy offering five
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: million for five years. He said, Now, I gotta say,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: he did say we could still maybe fight, you know,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Abdullah Mason in that realm, but he said he took
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: the long so instead of fighting for a mill, he's
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: gonna take a million each year. How many fights is that?
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Is that two or three year? So yeah, he said
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: five million over five years. So I don't know many
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: they I don't know. Someone sent me this that Eddie
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: hernsaid Canela might retire. I doubt he retires before the
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: deal's done. You know, he's got three more fights, so
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I highly doubt he retired. Maybe after that, but h
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, honestly with the besides Crawford, Like what the
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: opponents they're talking about. I mean, if you're not gonna
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: give us bene Vitez, you might as well fucking retire.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I guess, you know, I don't know, Like if you
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: go fight, you bank Junior and in the winner of
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: like if if Sharaz beats er Langa and then that
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: earns him a Canelo fight, I've said it all along
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, those two fights consist of you
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: make Junior in Sharaz, dude, or or rematch with Berlanga. Oh,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: that would be disappointing. I saw this news come through
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: that Netflix says announced they will produce a biop a
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: biopick by a biopick with the Jamie Fox involving the
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four Olympic team. So there's, you know, the
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: drama of a plane crash, building a team, and then this,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I mean that freaking team was crazy, dude. I mean
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: that's that is ridiculous. Also, Rocky Hernandez is out of
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: his fight unforcedly, so that that kind of sucks. I
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: was looking forward to, Uh, I've always liked watching him.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: But and also let's see here, I forgot who it was,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: but someone was saying Ray Savage should jump in because
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: it's only like it's like eight or nine weeks, and
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: he said that's short notice. It's like, well, that's not
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: really sure notice. But anyway, I saw this brunch boxing
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: breaking news. Tricky Lashk had announced that the basically a
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: different promoter, not Tko, not Dana White Sila, which is
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: from Sadi and the bout the fight now will take
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: place head to head with UFC, So I guess he
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: really didn't like what but Dana had to say that
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: he doesn't like the stadium and blah blah blah, and
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: so next thing you know, just that. So I'm really
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: hoping that it's on Netflix. He keeps like the fact
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: that it's taken a while to announce it kind of
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: makes me think he's working on a deal for it.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: But I hope so, like, I get it, if it's
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: on pay for You, I totally understand. But yeah, I
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: think it just be worth it to be on Netflix.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I also saw July eighth in Manchester, harle U Bank
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: and Jack Catterall. Not that it's a horrible matchup, but
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: stylistically who that one could suffer. Also here in Oscar
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Duarte is expected to return August second in Chicago against
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Kenneth since that was a fight that had been that
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: had been scheduled I think last fall and I remember correctly,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: So that's cool. That's a good fight Chicago's hmm. I might,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I might. I might see if I can work it
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: in my schedule. I'm not sure that the date works
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: for me, but yeah, that's kind of interesting. All all
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Athlon Sports was reporting that Canello and Crawford is going
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: to be moved to Dallas at and T Stadium on
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: September twenty eighth. I saw Jay Rope quote tweet though
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: September twenty eighth is Sunday for one and Cowboys host
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the Packers that day, so yeah, I don't know. Um
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: so hopefully they don't make that Ryan Garcia fight with
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Devin Haney. This is what Tayo Fema Lopez said about
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: the Canelo team. The Canlo team don't want Tao Femo.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: It's whatever Champ, it's whatever Canelo wants. I don't want
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: to be heavy, flat footed, planted feet. Anyways, I'm a boxer.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: A lot of people chewed my ass for not knowing
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: how to cut off the ring can if skull could
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: cut off the ring, so I guess he's saying, I
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: don't know. Um, this is a tweet from John Canello.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Crawford not being oh now being a re odd season
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: pay per view is about as good as news for
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: boxing as a return of Many back. Yeah yeah, and
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: that is official as we know the Many pac yow.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: And you know, when I heard it was gonna be
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: on Amazon, I was like, Okay, why not but on
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: pay per view? Man, It's just you know, it is
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: what it is. Someone sent me this. I don't know
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: who the Twitter account is because it's just I could see.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: It's a tweet though. It says will Canelo and Crawford
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: be a modern day version of Leonard Hagler? Like debatable?
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Like it's gonna be that close to where it's debatable
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: because I doubt that it's that good of a fight.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: I think that was be a much better fight, but
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: I could see it being close and being debatable. I
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: will say that Bob Erham, he's been going off with
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Canelo and fight up TV saying you know, he's no
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: longer a boxer, He's a businessman. He doesn't doesn't come
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: to fight, only comes to collect checks and it's bad
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: for boxing. But you wouldn't be saying that if you
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: had him, Jim Carross, David Allen has always been a
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: solid gatekeeper. He's been in the ring with some very
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: good fighters. That takes a fighter being at a certain
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: level to beat him. Unfortunately, Johnny Fisher is not at
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: that level. Well, said Jim Keee Curtis, you couldn't have
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: picked a worst tactics for Johnny Fisher last night, fighting
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: at the back foot with a stiff, chunky rugby player physique.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Fisher's scream is never going to be suited to fighting
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: like that was always gonna be gas a few rounds. Yeah,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: I mean I thought he should have mixed in some
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: movement which he was doing. But as far as like
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: the amount of moving he was doing, yeah, I agree,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: that wasn't that great. Somebody else sent me this from
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Dan the Boxing Man. What do I think of Manny's pack?
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Yew's message to Devin Boxing became popular because the support
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: of the fans the people. So make sure you are
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: satisfied with every fight that you have. That's a balance
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: you can pay that you can't pay back all the
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: sacrifices you had and people aren't satisfied. Yeah, I mean,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Haini wasn't the only fucking bad style that night, though
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: I noticed how Hani's getting a lot of the blame.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: But you know, there was some shitty fights that night.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: So speaking of Hani, though, I will say this, his
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: pops put out this. Floyd didn't do this, Sugar Ray,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Oscar Pacio, Canelo, Tank Chicord, none of them did this
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: by age twenty six, thirty two one oher seven world
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: champs beat three unified champs beat they weren't unified at
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: the time. I don't think though, undisputed two World of
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: two division world you know. And then that dumbass account
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: how boxing works. He basically said that he'd take Hany
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: at age twenty six his resume over Leonard and his
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: thing is he lost by twenty six, and I, you know,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: I responded to him, say, mostly accomplished by twenty six
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: has nothing to do with losing to many who many
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: deem a top ten fighter of all time. Losing to
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Duran and then beating him, you know, come on, dude,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: even if he would have lost, he'd still have a
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: better resume, Like this is just stupid. But yeah, he
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: kept tweeting aged twenty six, one thirty five, you know
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: named all the belts, including the Ring and then WBC
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: and and you know at one forty seven he only
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: had the lineal in the WBA and WBC. But back
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: then the WBA wasn't shit. And once you get the linear,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: you get the lineal. But your best win is Loma
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: for debn eighty. So you're trying to say that's better
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: than you know, three three fighters that come right to mine.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's so stupid. That's where undisputed
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: it becomes. It's undisputed against Loma is great, but it's
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: not better than dur or Tommy. Hearns like it's it's
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: it's just stupid. I did see Ariel really shit on
• 40:08
