[SPEAKER_00]: You are listening to the fight report with Hanson Crafton every week on the Central Indian sports report.
0:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back fight fans to the Central Indian sports report for this week's fight report with Hanson Crafton.
0:29
[SPEAKER_00]: with victories from in a way and Nakatani as expected.
0:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Before we get to that, Hanson, some big news in the fight world just 10 days after a fight with Jake Paul.
0:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Anthony Josh was been in a serious car accident where two people and his vehicle died in the accident and he had to be pulled out of the vehicle.
0:53
[SPEAKER_00]: We know it's not life threatening to him, but we don't know that it's not career threatening and going through that and losing friends.
1:00
[SPEAKER_00]: It's bad news for Anthony Josh.
1:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a tough situation.
1:09
[SPEAKER_01]: don't want anybody to go through something like that.
1:13
[SPEAKER_01]: So especially I don't really know about the two people.
1:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I heard one of them was a good friend of yours.
1:21
[SPEAKER_01]: It's my a chance with them.
1:23
[SPEAKER_01]: So those kind of losses can impact you deeply.
1:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:28
[SPEAKER_00]: And to be there when it happened as well.
1:31
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll leave a big psychological scar with him and I don't think we probably want to talk much about what's ahead in his career and
1:39
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll do any more because there will be time for that.
1:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And this probably is not the right time.
1:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
1:45
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's talk about some fighting.
1:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And as expected.
1:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, you're in a way, and who to knock a tiny, both one fairly convincingly, especially in a way, to set up a big fight, hands in your reaction to the night of the samurai.
2:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, first of all, it should have been the morning of the samurai because it was like steak Macotani fought at like 630 and then in a way after him, but I tell you what Black one always samurai.
2:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, birth is with the samurai.
2:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but I tell you what, though the fight that surprised me most was the Nakotani and the Sebastian Hernandez Reyes fight.
2:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Really
2:34
[SPEAKER_01]: And this strategy was he got as close as he could to knock a ton and he went to the body really well.
2:41
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he threw the uppercuts after going to the body as he was uppercut from inside.
2:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm late in that fight.
2:48
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a question as who was going to win?
2:51
[SPEAKER_01]: He really had a good game playing.
2:53
[SPEAKER_01]: He threw the cards for 115-1-13.
2:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know where in the hill the one guy got 1-18-1-10 from.
3:00
[SPEAKER_01]: But you could make a case for Hernandez, the last half of that fight.
3:05
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a really impressive performance.
3:09
[SPEAKER_01]: He just didn't allow Mokatani to land anything really significant.
3:14
[SPEAKER_01]: And he stayed on him.
3:15
[SPEAKER_01]: He was the capital pressure and he was really going to the body a lot.
3:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Then he was landed the uppercuts and that the end of the fight.
3:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Mokatani's face showed more of the fight than Hernandez did.
3:29
[SPEAKER_01]: It was very surprising, a very good performance.
3:35
[SPEAKER_01]: The season wise, I think it could have win either way.
3:38
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was okay with Nakatoni winning.
3:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I think 115, 115, 115 is a good card.
3:43
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think it could have won 115, 115, 115, no the way as well.
3:47
[SPEAKER_01]: There are a couple rounds in there that just were really kind of toss ups.
3:51
[SPEAKER_01]: But so that fight really surprised me.
3:54
[SPEAKER_01]: And then in a way went in and he just,
3:59
[SPEAKER_01]: is for someone who's always been a counter puncher, he was a lead first type guy, he really boxed a little bit through a lot of combinations and he looked really good, he didn't get the finish, but you could tell with both guys when he would land Picasso would have to stop and he would react, Picasso could land and then away kind of just roll with it and return
4:29
[SPEAKER_00]: You know why, Hanson, that's exactly why.
4:31
[SPEAKER_00]: That's exactly what I was going to say.
4:33
[SPEAKER_00]: In a way realized about the second round that there was nothing for Kosovo can do to hurt him.
4:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly.
4:39
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he just kind of cruise that fight.
4:42
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, though, the 1208, 119, that's kind of where I saw it as well.
4:49
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a 117, 1111 in there.
4:51
[SPEAKER_01]: But I thought that fight was in close from the get go.
4:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you said, I think, in a way probably two rounds in,
4:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Realize it, uh, okay, I'll probably take in his best shots.
5:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I already won, Picasso is having trouble even hitting in a way.
5:06
[SPEAKER_01]: And then when he would, it just didn't seem like it had any really effect on in a way at all.
5:12
[SPEAKER_00]: And there was a, there was a moment in that fight where it looked like, in a way, wasn't paying attention.
5:19
[SPEAKER_00]: And Picasso came across the ring and threw a hook to his head.
5:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And in a way, didn't move.
5:27
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't even react to it.
5:30
[SPEAKER_00]: His punches didn't nothing to him.
5:32
[SPEAKER_01]: You could tell, and you could tell kind of early on in that fight that there was just a huge difference in powers.
5:38
[SPEAKER_01]: You could tell Picasso was having to be careful with the shots he was taking.
5:42
[SPEAKER_01]: He did a good job of not taking anything too.
5:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I would say too bad, like too many in a row.
5:50
[SPEAKER_01]: He got hit with a good punch.
5:52
[SPEAKER_01]: He's able to kind of get out or duck down.
5:57
[SPEAKER_01]: If he did get some body shots landed on him, I think those were kind of slowing him down as well.
6:03
[SPEAKER_01]: So I thought, in a way, kind of just picked him apart, I think he looked really good at doing a different style.
6:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that style of fighter and what I saw on the fight previously, I think I'm, I might have to stay with the old guard on that one now, I think in a way, if he boxes like he did,
6:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought early on, I thought Nakatani looked really good and I thought, oh, you might be the guy.
6:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, like, I think you might have, you're right, it might have been a strategy thing and it caught him a little off guard and Hernandez Reyes toughness, I think, kind of took him by surprise.
6:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that fight switched about halfway through, I thought Nakatani looked good early.
6:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I think what, what they say surprises, guys, is when guys are able to hit somebody
6:58
[SPEAKER_01]: eight nine guys he's hit on with some punches that he hit Ray as with and and normally those guys get hurt or they even go down and and Ray as was just walking forward and it looked like he could walk through everything anytime he got hit he always returned so it was just a really good strategy I think it surprised not Katani and I think he just really didn't have an adjustment for it he kind of just let her
7:27
[SPEAKER_00]: you're in any rumors of a date for in a way, not a tiny, who knows, they were after the not a tiny performance they were maybe talking about in a way in Bamrod Regas, yeah, it seems I would say not a tiny and maybe a rematch.
7:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that fight.
7:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, after that one, yeah, let them do it again, but who did the not a tiny in a way fight was still going to be huge and
7:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and I think that's my where they want to, you know, take that one.
7:59
[SPEAKER_01]: So it'll be interesting to see what they do, but now they're starting to throw more names out about in a way.
8:06
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe not a tonning may have to fight one more.
8:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe they want to see him in that way, one more time or they could still do that fight, which is still be pretty huge.
8:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Anything else in the card catch your eye, handsome?
8:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Garcia went over in manga was surprising.
8:31
[SPEAKER_01]: In manga was supposed to, he was a big favor going in that fight.
8:36
[SPEAKER_01]: He was undefeated prospect.
8:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was surprising to see him actually pick up the loss.
8:44
[SPEAKER_01]: He just got surprised.
8:46
[SPEAKER_01]: He went down in the eighth round.
8:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Garcia just kind of really,
8:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, I think he just kind of went in there and wasn't an easy fight as I guess he was expecting.
8:59
[SPEAKER_01]: And he ended up losing.
9:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he was one of the bigger favorites on there.
9:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, think a lot of people were even expecting to get a finish.
9:09
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he was one that got up going down.
9:11
[SPEAKER_01]: So that that's a prize me, um, but everything else I expected not to tie the win.
9:16
[SPEAKER_01]: And I thought in a way would.
9:22
[SPEAKER_01]: the performance with Hernandez Reyes.
9:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Outside of that, I really kind of expected the fight to end the way they did.
9:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of thought in a way was going to be able to stop the castle, but he kind of boxed different, maybe showed he's able to do some other things in there and didn't really just straight-head-hunt, although he was putting it on him.
9:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I think maybe
9:46
[SPEAKER_01]: and made the Picasso's tougher than I was expecting, but that fight pretty much went the way I expected it to.
9:53
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, hands away have a bit of a role with the new year in the fight schedule.
10:01
[SPEAKER_00]: We have some more coming up at the end of January.
10:05
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're gonna take next week off and then come back to the following week and start looking forward to some USCs.
10:11
[SPEAKER_00]: What are you most looking forward to here early in 26?
10:14
[SPEAKER_01]: There's three cards, there's a nice little break.
10:19
[SPEAKER_01]: But then the 24th, the UFC returns with their first paramount card.
10:25
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the T-Mobile Reenan Las Vegas, and it's going to be Gachi vs. Pinlet.
10:29
[SPEAKER_01]: They are now fighting for the interim UFC light heavyweight title, because to for you has stepped away for a little bit.
10:37
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a really interesting fight.
10:40
[SPEAKER_01]: and then you've got the big fight for the women as I've been leading up to it's probably one of if not the biggest women's fight and you have seen history but you're going to see a current champion Kayla Harrison's going to fight old champion Amanda Nunez, Nunez did retire for just a couple years and she was the 35 and 45 pound champion in the women's division
11:03
[SPEAKER_00]: So a fighter retired and then came back that happened.
11:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
11:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, she took a couple years off.
11:09
[SPEAKER_01]: She had kind of clean the division.
11:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I can understand her as a new challenger.
11:16
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got some history.
11:17
[SPEAKER_01]: They used to train in the same gym.
11:18
[SPEAKER_01]: So I guess that was a fight.
11:20
[SPEAKER_01]: She's probably always won the back of her mind.
11:22
[SPEAKER_01]: So she has came out of retirement.
11:24
[SPEAKER_01]: She's going to this is going to be for the 35 built.
11:28
[SPEAKER_01]: So she did
11:32
[SPEAKER_01]: but she also was the featherweight champ as well.
11:36
[SPEAKER_01]: So New year's is one of the best women fires of all time if not the best Harrison wants to be the best so this is a big fight for the women It says it's a good co-mate event And then you've got Sean O'Malley song you don't that could end up being a title eliminator That's a good fight You got her by his fan favorite Derek Lewis on there.
11:57
[SPEAKER_01]: He's gonna be fighting number five ranked
12:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Both of those guys are growing in there to try to infight.
12:06
[SPEAKER_01]: They both didn't fight.
12:07
[SPEAKER_01]: So that one probably won't go to this since that would be a fun one You've got all of our all of our jeans silver just a really loaded card Michael Johnson Alexander Hernandez Umar Nugamard market mad off Against Dave Simfierre.
12:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's a good surprise.
12:23
[SPEAKER_01]: He's sneaky fight And then you got rose-nominutes is on there fighting the tally silver This car's just loaded dude.
12:30
[SPEAKER_01]: It's it's a
12:32
[SPEAKER_01]: really good card to start the new partnership with Paramount and so you've got that January 24th and then the following week, January 31st, you've got two things we've got box and and we've got UFC.
12:46
[SPEAKER_01]: The UFC is going to be in Australia.
12:49
[SPEAKER_01]: It's headline, bossry, his own Volcanoski.
12:53
[SPEAKER_01]: He is starting his second reign as champion of featherweight division.
12:58
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be fighting Diego Lopez.
13:00
[SPEAKER_01]: That is a rematch from a fight earlier this year.
13:02
[SPEAKER_01]: That should be a fun fight.
13:06
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got Dan Hooker versus Ben Wall Saint Denise.
13:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Dan Hicker Hookers, the guy who's always a good fun fight.
13:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Denise is a guy who's coming off of a row.
13:16
[SPEAKER_01]: He's one two straight.
13:17
[SPEAKER_01]: He had a really nice finish over Benny Darius and his last fight.
13:26
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... he's a really good fire he's fire marshal rufi uh... and and he's coming off his first loss in uf c subi's interest out he response sets another good fight and you got a heavyweight fight on their uh... tied to a bossa he's a former fan favorite and he's fine tassin to share so he's a guy coming off the law so both of those guys going to try to make a statement there heavyweights are always fun so got a really good car there for the uf c

[SPEAKER_01]: And then in boxing, it masks and square garden.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's a really fun, heavyweight or a main event fight right there.
14:06
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the co-main, and that one is Kishan Davis, first, Germano Ortiz.
14:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Kishan Davis is his, he's been coming on a row, he's undefeated, prospect, super lightweight.
14:18
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's a fun guy, and then you got one of my favorites,
14:23
[SPEAKER_01]: He's fighting Carlos Castro on the same car.
14:26
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's a really good car as well.
14:29
[SPEAKER_01]: So you got some really good box and then some good UFC that night.
14:32
[SPEAKER_01]: So the 31st it is going to be a nice weekend.
14:40
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, Hanson, you got to be pretty excited about the Chicago Bears.
14:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, it's been a long time coming, but I just like it.
14:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't expect it at all.
14:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I came into the season with different expectations.
14:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I just want to make sure we had the right coach.
14:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I want to see if our quarterback improved.
15:00
[SPEAKER_01]: If we had the right quarterback.
15:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see what they've done, man.
15:05
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just really nice to go.
15:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Good ones.
15:07
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been fun, but it's been really fun, especially because you keep your expectations low.
15:12
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just been a really fun ride.
15:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how to end, but they've already exceeded expectations for me.
15:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm very pleased with what I've seen.
15:22
[SPEAKER_01]: The defense isn't that good, but I think that's something you can work on in the off season.
15:29
[SPEAKER_01]: You do have the right coach and the right quarterback.
15:32
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I've been telling you for the last year and a half you got to when you get a franchise quarterback, you have to build the offense.
15:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't worry about the defense right now.
15:42
[SPEAKER_00]: We're about the defense later, build around your franchise quarterback, make sure he's safe in his weapons.
15:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
15:49
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what they did a great job reshaping that line.
15:52
[SPEAKER_01]: So they got a good offensive line now.
15:55
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got really good weapons.
15:57
[SPEAKER_01]: The run game is really good, so it's something the young quarterback can lean on.
16:01
[SPEAKER_01]: two good tight ends, three good while receivers, man, it's a fun time that Sunday night game, you lost, we lost that game, but when have you ever seen a Bears team build with a score like that?
16:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Never exactly, so it's kind of like, it's one of those scenes where it's like, man, you hate to lose, but I can lose that way.
16:24
[SPEAKER_01]: We just ran out of time, we didn't run out of place, you know, we got down to the first
16:31
[SPEAKER_01]: when we just only had one, you know, enough time for one play.
16:34
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I really like where they're at.
16:37
[SPEAKER_01]: And they got to think they can surprise and invite to play off some realistic.
16:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think we're gonna be Superbowl contenders.
16:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm more here for the ride from here on out.
16:48
[SPEAKER_01]: But, I think they're a good team headed in the Nore direction.
16:52
[SPEAKER_00]: This week on the strictly biased podcast with Will Rutherford, he named the 49ers.
16:58
[SPEAKER_00]: His number one winner of the week, and I said, I would make the argument that the bears were even a bigger winner than the 49er.
17:05
[SPEAKER_00]: For the simple fact that it's now confirmed without a doubt that you have the right coaching.
17:12
[SPEAKER_00]: You have the right way back.
17:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and that's kind of what we wanted to see come into this season.
17:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think realistically, I thought we'd be in the position
17:21
[SPEAKER_01]: be division champs a host in a playoff game no pressure after the first two games so I'm I'm super pleased.
17:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a static about what I've seen from the bears or Hanson let's do this again two weeks from now.
17:39
[SPEAKER_00]: All right man we will
17:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Central Indian sports report is a product of ITG media.
17:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I love season.
