Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Hey, what up, boxing fans. This is the rope a
- 0:05Speaker 1: Dope Radio podcast coming to you Wednesday night. Hope everybody
- 0:09Speaker 1: had a good weekend things. I got tied up yesterday.
- 0:14Speaker 1: I was working in the polls, you know, for the
- 0:19Speaker 1: election during the day, a little bit in the dead
- 0:22Speaker 1: night as well, so I wasn't able to do the show.
- 0:27Speaker 1: You know, Hopefully it worked out for you whoever you
- 0:29Speaker 1: voted for, or you know, if it didn't like me.
- 0:34Speaker 1: You know, it is what it is. What are you
- 0:35Speaker 1: gonna do anyway? Real quick, No, this isn't gonna be
- 0:41Speaker 1: a long show, just so you know, but we will
- 0:45Speaker 1: dive into some of this Bwatzi Parker. You know, I'll
- 0:51Speaker 1: never feel bad for cashing a bet, that's for sure,
- 0:58Speaker 1: but or guilty, but it's just like man's somewhere in there.
- 1:04Speaker 1: I'm like, I mean, I'll take the money, but wow,
- 1:09Speaker 1: I did not think that Biwatzi won that fight at
- 1:13Speaker 1: that Parker clearly won it. We'll talk about some other fights,
- 1:18Speaker 1: you know, somewhat quickly in a quick recap, and then
- 1:21Speaker 1: of course preview and predict. Virgil Ortiz and ericson Lubin.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Supposedly Boots Ennis is gonna be ringside, and you know
- 1:33Speaker 1: the plan is according to Danny Hearn anyway, you know,
- 1:38Speaker 1: if if Ortez gets through Lubin, which he's favored to,
- 1:42Speaker 1: but they gotta fight the fights, then Boots and Ortiz
- 1:46Speaker 1: would be well, I'm not even gonna say next, all right,
- 1:51Speaker 1: just sometime in twenty twenty six. I'm gonna I don't
- 1:54Speaker 1: want to just get my mindset that they could be like,
- 1:57Speaker 1: oh yeah, dude, we're gonna do it. We're gonna do it,
- 1:59Speaker 1: and then the are gonna fight in June, but they're
- 2:02Speaker 1: both gonna get out who knows, right, hopefully it would
- 2:05Speaker 1: be next if in fact, and that's no disrespect to
- 2:08Speaker 1: ericson Lubin, who could very well win this fight, especially
- 2:13Speaker 1: if it's a fight on the inside, right, And then
- 2:18Speaker 1: we'll get to some fight news. As you know by now,
- 2:21Speaker 1: Geronte Davis has been pulled from his Netflix fight with
- 2:25Speaker 1: Jake Paul. We'll talk a little bit about that. There
- 2:30Speaker 1: is some other, you know, other news out there as
- 2:33Speaker 1: far as fights that are very close to being signed,
- 2:41Speaker 1: so we'll talk a little bit about that, and then
- 2:44Speaker 1: still kind of waiting for the Zone to figure out
- 2:48Speaker 1: what they're gonna do with their pay per view sub
- 2:53Speaker 1: model thing. There was an announcement not long ago about
- 3:00Speaker 1: you know, Dezone, whether it's just a pay per view
- 3:04Speaker 1: or the Dezone app that you have to have in
- 3:07Speaker 1: order to get the pay per view on Amazon. So yeah,
- 3:12Speaker 1: it's not clear. So you don't go figure right that
- 3:18Speaker 1: that's nothing with that company. That's really nothing. Nothing should
- 3:23Speaker 1: surprise you. But yeah, I'm really looking forward to virginal
- 3:26Speaker 1: or cheesing, Eric moveing just off of action packed fight
- 3:31Speaker 1: very much. So we got some good fights to close
- 3:34Speaker 1: the years come up close, the year not years close,
- 3:38Speaker 1: the year coming up. You know, it's it's like a
- 3:43Speaker 1: movie set, emotion, picture film set. Hurry up and wait.
- 3:48Speaker 1: That's what this year has been. In a decent amount
- 3:52Speaker 1: of last year too, but especially this year. Just hurry
- 3:55Speaker 1: up and wait. Oh we got some fights. We don't.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Oh we got some Oh no we don't. So yeah,
- 4:00Speaker 1: it's been a frustrating twenty twenty five for boxing fans.
- 4:04Speaker 1: I've heard numerous people talking about, you know, I'm just
- 4:10Speaker 1: I'm fading, man, I'm fading. And I've even talked about
- 4:15Speaker 1: it here. How there's certain times I'll watch a fight.
- 4:19Speaker 1: I don't always watch fights live, that's not a big deal.
- 4:22Speaker 1: But whether it's the night of the fight, like later
- 4:26Speaker 1: that night or the next day, or usually I get
- 4:29Speaker 1: the big ones I want that I really care about
- 4:33Speaker 1: and that are important or whatever and intrigue me. I'll
- 4:37Speaker 1: get those watched right before Monday, that's for sure. But
- 4:42Speaker 1: there's been times this year where oh, there's two hours
- 4:46Speaker 1: before the show, all right, cool, I'll watch that other fight,
- 4:48Speaker 1: you know, Like it's not like a busy fight weekend
- 4:52Speaker 1: where you watch so much fights and there's still one
- 4:55Speaker 1: fight you want to watch before I record the podcast.
- 4:58Speaker 1: That's a little different. And some of the problem is
- 5:02Speaker 1: that where we have all these cards all at on
- 5:06Speaker 1: one weekend and then it's spread out. It's not to
- 5:10Speaker 1: say that, you know, we don't have a pro box
- 5:12Speaker 1: and other design has a fight every weekend, But are
- 5:16Speaker 1: they And it's not even about must see? Are they?
- 5:20Speaker 1: Is it a quality product? It doesn't matter if it's
- 5:24Speaker 1: prospect versus prospect, prospect learning on the job against you know,
- 5:29Speaker 1: a gatekeeper, two contenders trying to climb the ladder to
- 5:34Speaker 1: become maybe they're fringe, but they're gonna become contenders or
- 5:38Speaker 1: or you know, mandatory whatever and I guess it's not
- 5:42Speaker 1: that we don't get them, but it's been a weird
- 5:46Speaker 1: year man, So everyone out there, I totally understand what
- 5:49Speaker 1: you're going through as a boxing fan, and then we'd
- 5:53Speaker 1: just been berated the last two years, especially this year,
- 5:57Speaker 1: but just in general with pay per views too. I
- 5:59Speaker 1: mean we talked about, you know, halfway through the year,
- 6:04Speaker 1: we already had two separate weekends where there was two
- 6:08Speaker 1: pay per views. We also had that three pay per
- 6:12Speaker 1: views within a within really a week from a Saturday
- 6:15Speaker 1: to Saturday, we've had We've had that twice, and we
- 6:19Speaker 1: would have just got double dip not long ago. You know,
- 6:22Speaker 1: as I mentioned, I think last week if Thurman and Fandora,
- 6:27Speaker 1: if that fight card would have happened. So you know,
- 6:30Speaker 1: it is what it is, man. The sport has always been,
- 6:35Speaker 1: you know, it's it's always a weird one. I mean,
- 6:39Speaker 1: the first fight I'm gonna start talking about is Blatsi Parker, right,
- 6:44Speaker 1: and we know how that was scored. So hang in there,
- 6:47Speaker 1: hopefully we have a great twenty twenty six. Yeah, that's
- 6:53Speaker 1: that's really all I can say. It's kind of cool that,
- 6:58Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if top rank this is
- 7:00Speaker 1: their plan, but it is at least they have some
- 7:06Speaker 1: form of platform that you can watch it, and it's
- 7:10Speaker 1: not necessarily a pay per view, right, So, like we'll see,
- 7:15Speaker 1: we'll see what the year brings. Like I said, there
- 7:18Speaker 1: are some good fight cards coming up, like multiple fights
- 7:23Speaker 1: that I'm looking forward to that November twenty second card.
- 7:31Speaker 1: Really looking forward to some fights on there. Anyway, if

- 8:25Speaker 1: while you're at it, head on over to the Gruelingtruth
- 8:28Speaker 1: Dot com and Sports News twenty four actually groolingtruth dot com,
- 8:32Speaker 1: east Side Boxing and Fill Boxing, and one more thing
- 8:37Speaker 1: from direct tv. You know right now some people from
- 8:42Speaker 1: YouTube tv are missing out on ABC in ESPN. Who
- 8:46Speaker 1: knows how long that's gonna last. So DirecTV, as you cover,
- 8:50Speaker 1: start streaming DirecTV today for only forty nine ninety nine
- 8:55Speaker 1: for the first month. They do had that free trial
- 8:57Speaker 1: that I mentioned every week, the choice by I could
- 9:00Speaker 1: just fifty nine ninety nine for the first month and
- 9:03Speaker 1: that includes ESPN Fan Duel, SEC Network and the NFL
- 9:06Speaker 1: Network and the Ultimate package which includes all that includes
- 9:10Speaker 1: including CBS Sports Network in FXM eighty nine ninety nine
- 9:17Speaker 1: for the first month. That's over one hundred and sixty channels. Okay,
- 9:21Speaker 1: so that's a pretty good deal. Try it out, even
- 9:23Speaker 1: if it's just a five day thing. Give it a whirl,
- 9:27Speaker 1: see if you like it. Okay, So as I mentioned
- 9:32Speaker 1: the Blatza thing like well, speaking of as I mentioned,
- 9:40Speaker 1: I did mention that, you know, the tough fight he
- 9:44Speaker 1: just had, not all that or this year not just had,
- 9:48Speaker 1: but this year could have taken some out of with
- 9:51Speaker 1: Kelly Smith. Now, whether that's the excuse or not, or
- 9:55Speaker 1: it just wasn't you know, it just wasn't as night
- 9:59Speaker 1: or whatever the the case may be. He didn't look
- 10:03Speaker 1: good in this fight. And that's not to take any
- 10:06Speaker 1: credit away from Zach Parker. Zach Parker normally doesn't fight
- 10:11Speaker 1: at this weight. He has. He had a couple of
- 10:14Speaker 1: fights against you know, whatever you want to say, opponents
- 10:18Speaker 1: like mediocre opponents before this, but clearly that was not
- 10:25Speaker 1: an issue. I did think Buwatzi could have won the
- 10:30Speaker 1: first round, but then I gave Parker the second, the third,
- 10:38Speaker 1: the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth. Now the fourth
- 10:42Speaker 1: or sorry, the third round was close, so that could
- 10:45Speaker 1: have went either way. Some people thought the first round
- 10:48Speaker 1: was close, that's fine, but Parker in the second round
- 10:52Speaker 1: is jab his right hand to the to the head
- 10:55Speaker 1: and body. I thought he did some pretty decent body
- 10:58Speaker 1: work throughout the fight. As I mentioned, the third round
- 11:01Speaker 1: was kind of close. Just better lambs overall to the
- 11:05Speaker 1: head and body throughout this fight. But just kind of
- 11:09Speaker 1: talking about the fourth round, the fifth round, this little
- 11:12Speaker 1: another thing is jab and then some short hooks too,
- 11:15Speaker 1: these quick little combos, and he was using movement, just
- 11:18Speaker 1: slight movement for a lot of the fight, which seemed
- 11:22Speaker 1: to throw up Watzi a little bit. Watzi I think
- 11:25Speaker 1: thought he could just walk him down and beat him up.
- 11:30Speaker 1: It just wasn't the case. Every once in a while
- 11:32Speaker 1: Parker would be the aggressor, but mostly he just kind
- 11:35Speaker 1: of slightly used that movement just to stay you know,
- 11:43Speaker 1: that range, but out of range, you know, within the pocket.
- 11:45Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean he looked pretty good, you know,
- 11:50Speaker 1: those quick, little clean lands that were easy to see.
- 11:54Speaker 1: The jab once in a while of the stomach up jab.
- 11:57Speaker 1: He just was winning, I thought. And then the seventh
- 12:00Speaker 1: round I gave it to Bawazzi. I thought a few
- 12:08Speaker 1: clean jabs. In fact, that's mostly that was his best
- 12:12Speaker 1: punch of the of the night as far as clean punching.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Not to say he didn't land anything else than a jab,
- 12:17Speaker 1: but as far as clean punching, I'd say, you know,
- 12:21Speaker 1: throughout the fight, that was mostly what he was laying of. Note,
- 12:27Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, the jab of Parker was effective
- 12:31Speaker 1: as well, and even in that seventh round early and
- 12:34Speaker 1: late was really good. But then I gave Parker the
- 12:37Speaker 1: eighth the ninth like it just even if you had
- 12:40Speaker 1: it six to four, right, seven to three, eight to two,
- 12:44Speaker 1: is where I had it. Even if you had it
- 12:46Speaker 1: six to four. It was a clean six to four,
- 12:51Speaker 1: you know, a very clean six to four, like about
- 12:56Speaker 1: as clean as it could be. Like, there's no way
- 12:58Speaker 1: you could find, in my opinion, more than four rounds.
- 13:04Speaker 1: I just I just couldn't do it, you know, I
- 13:06Speaker 1: just could not do it. So for me, Buwatzi got lucky.
- 13:12Speaker 1: You know. Some people said, oh, he didn't win a round.
- 13:14Speaker 1: I don't. I don't believe that. But one judge had
- 13:16Speaker 1: it a draw, the other had it ninety six, the
- 13:18Speaker 1: other two had it ninety six ninety four, so it
- 13:20Speaker 1: was a majority decision. And yeah, I don't know, man,
- 13:25Speaker 1: I mean I thought he looked okay in the first
- 13:28Speaker 1: four rounds and then here and there, but some people
- 13:34Speaker 1: gave him the seventh, some people gave him the eighth.
- 13:37Speaker 1: He just got beat. You know, there's really no way
- 13:40Speaker 1: around it. And like I said, I'll take that plus
- 13:46Speaker 1: what was it plus one ninety two or something like that,
- 13:49Speaker 1: I'll take it for a decision. But you know, I'm
- 13:53Speaker 1: not going to brag about it, that's for sure. Yeah, man,
- 13:57Speaker 1: it was just it was bad, dude, Like it seemed
- 14:03Speaker 1: pretty easy to not you know to not give him
- 14:08Speaker 1: this card. I just or this fight. I just I
- 14:11Speaker 1: think it's I feel bad for Zach Parker. Let's put
- 14:16Speaker 1: it that way. I really do. I think he won
- 14:18Speaker 1: it cleanly. And also I did pick Lyndon Arthur as
- 14:23Speaker 1: an upset and he did majority decision. Again, I think
- 14:30Speaker 1: it was what a left hook, I believe, let me
- 14:33Speaker 1: check my notes. Left hook in the second and actually,
- 14:42Speaker 1: you know, the Watsea Parker. For some reason, I was like,
- 14:45Speaker 1: is it ten or twelve? I was a little in
- 14:47Speaker 1: between on that when I got admit, but yeah, some
- 14:50Speaker 1: of that had to draw. The other ones are seven
- 14:52Speaker 1: and five. I had it about seven and five. I
- 14:55Speaker 1: did think Bradley Rhea, I thought he had like a
- 14:59Speaker 1: well beyond this second round. But I actually thought, you know,
- 15:02Speaker 1: I thought you could give him at least I gave
- 15:05Speaker 1: him three out of the first four rounds. Maybe not
- 15:09Speaker 1: the first round, I know, but then it was a
- 15:13Speaker 1: little more difficult to give him many rounds past that.
- 15:16Speaker 1: So he got off to a good start and then
- 15:19Speaker 1: just kind of just kind of fell off, you know
- 15:22Speaker 1: what I mean. I mean that's basically what happened. He
- 15:24Speaker 1: just fell off. Didn't really do a whole lot after that,
- 15:29Speaker 1: and then Arthur came up, you know, with the big
- 15:33Speaker 1: win Liam Cameron. I saw that fight a couple other
- 15:38Speaker 1: fights that I saw just the highlights in. But yeah,
- 15:41Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, man, you feel for fighters
- 15:46Speaker 1: that get robbed like this, you know, it just it sucks, man,
- 15:52Speaker 1: it really does suck. Let's see here. There was another
- 15:57Speaker 1: draw actually that same night later in Florida from that,
- 16:02Speaker 1: uh that Royo Orlando Casino, Yo, Elvis and Ingram. You know,
- 16:11Speaker 1: I was Gomez and Ingram, and you know that was
- 16:15Speaker 1: a close fight. I actually didn't I just watched it.
- 16:18Speaker 1: I didn't score it. I was a little distracted, I did.
- 16:25Speaker 1: I was okay with the draw, to be honest with Yeah,
- 16:27Speaker 1: I thought the scorecards were pretty good both of well,
- 16:31Speaker 1: of course won as a draw, but you know, it
- 16:33Speaker 1: was a split, so it could have won either way.
- 16:36Speaker 1: Like I would have been fine if Gomez got that.
- 16:38Speaker 1: I thought he started better. I gave him the first
- 16:41Speaker 1: like I think, like, well, first three rounds and then
- 16:46Speaker 1: probably two out of the next four. I thought he
- 16:49Speaker 1: closed better too. So like if I had to pick
- 16:51Speaker 1: a winner, I'd pick Gomez. But kind of going into it,
- 16:56Speaker 1: you know, it would be a good fight. And Ingram definitely, uh,
- 17:02Speaker 1: you know, definitely represented himself nicely in the fight, that's
- 17:06Speaker 1: for sure. But someone that didn't is Perol. Someone that
- 17:14Speaker 1: didn't is Peril. I just I didn't think he looked good.
- 17:20Speaker 1: I'm not saying, oh, he should have won or he
- 17:23Speaker 1: should have lost, you know, I'm not saying that. I
- 17:26Speaker 1: did think Lanearier it Lanier Lanier, Lanier, Pero and Jordan Thompson,
- 17:37Speaker 1: and honestly like he started really well, like it probably
- 17:42Speaker 1: took till the fifth or the sixth for sure. Of
- 17:47Speaker 1: course the seventh because that's uh, I believe he got
- 17:52Speaker 1: let me look at my card. I think that's where
- 17:54Speaker 1: he got deducted a point. So you know, I thought
- 18:01Speaker 1: he closed the tenth round fairly well, but the ninth
- 18:05Speaker 1: and tenth probably, but that it's like, look good for
- 18:08Speaker 1: about five ish rounds then kind of, eh, not so much.
- 18:12Speaker 1: And I thought Jordan Thompson finished stronger overall in the
- 18:16Speaker 1: second half of fight. I just I just didn't think
- 18:19Speaker 1: he did it enough early in the fight. I think
- 18:21Speaker 1: that was his issue. So but no, I didn't he
- 18:25Speaker 1: didn't look good. You know, I'm not going to sugarcoat it.
- 18:28Speaker 1: He didn't look good. Sometimes you can make a mistake
- 18:33Speaker 1: by like looking at fighter's body and bodies and be like, dude,
- 18:38Speaker 1: are you trying as hard as you can but training?
- 18:41Speaker 1: And he does. I'll say this, he does have one
- 18:44Speaker 1: of those bodies. And I'm not trying to body shame anybody, okay,
- 18:48Speaker 1: but there's just times where you're just like, I don't know.
- 18:53Speaker 1: In a lot of times, you know, it doesn't matter,
- 18:56Speaker 1: you know, it really doesn't matter. And I believed I
- 18:59Speaker 1: even looked up. I believe his last fight he weighed more.
- 19:02Speaker 1: I think, I think funny enough, you know, he he's
- 19:07Speaker 1: that was like lesser than what he normally weighs in
- 19:11Speaker 1: the last few fights. But I'll say this that Victor H.
- 19:19Speaker 1: Fear Hurst or whatever that to me, like I just
- 19:24Speaker 1: don't feel like he I don't know, Like to me,
- 19:28Speaker 1: he's had these little quick fights. Then he had a
- 19:31Speaker 1: fight with Webster where I thought he looked okay, and
- 19:35Speaker 1: like I said, he won this fight. But I wasn't
- 19:38Speaker 1: all that impressed from him. I just wasn't. I definitely
- 19:42Speaker 1: was not that impressed with him. So you know, he
- 19:46Speaker 1: didn't kind of like Eddie hearn said in the I
- 19:51Speaker 1: heard him in the post press conference or actually I
- 19:54Speaker 1: think it was an interview. He was saying that, you know,
- 20:00Speaker 1: you didn't like put anybody in the heavyweight division on
- 20:04Speaker 1: blast or unnotice, you know, like hey, I'm the next
- 20:07Speaker 1: dude or nothing like that. It was just kind of like, eh, whatever,
- 20:13Speaker 1: Pat Brown won, Omar Jones won pretty much, you know,
- 20:17Speaker 1: pretty one. You know, the the A sides won a
- 20:20Speaker 1: lot in in that one. And then you also had
- 20:25Speaker 1: Melvin Mikayla. So we you know, we had we had
- 20:33Speaker 1: those fights. Let's see here, actually, let me see what.
- 20:39Speaker 1: I'm gonna check my what the hell was it? I'm
- 20:43Speaker 1: gonna check my bed. I guess I can't look well anyway.
- 20:51Speaker 1: Andrew Maloney won. He's got a big fight coming up,
- 20:56Speaker 1: but he he kind of just like had to tune
- 20:58Speaker 1: up basically. So you know, he he did his thing.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Sergei Lippintz, dude his eye. That Arthur dude fucked his eye.
- 21:09Speaker 1: Dude his eye. But Melvin drew Jerusalem. You know, he
- 21:14Speaker 1: took that loss to to col Ozo, and you know he's, uh,
- 21:21Speaker 1: he's doing his thing, man, you know, like he definitely
- 21:24Speaker 1: did his thing. Actually, here it is so his plus
- 21:28Speaker 1: one ninety decision. That's what that Joshua wants he was,
- 21:32Speaker 1: and I can't find.
- 21:33Speaker 2: The the Arthur for some reason. Huh, that's weird.
- 21:44Speaker 1: Anyway, Mikaela Meyer definitely did her thing. But yeah, that
- 21:52Speaker 1: that's about it. Let me see, is there any other
- 21:56Speaker 1: any other items I wanted to get to. I think
- 22:00Speaker 1: that's about it. Like I said, I know it's Wednesday.
- 22:02Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of time in my schedule
- 22:05Speaker 1: to do like an in depth show, So I think
- 22:08Speaker 1: that's where I'm gonna kind of hold off, you know,
- 22:12Speaker 1: when it comes to recap now obviously you know we
- 22:20Speaker 1: have a big fight coming up, just you know virtual
- 22:24Speaker 1: or tease ericson Lubin. Lubin's a guy who you know,
- 22:28Speaker 1: as we know, was like a very highly touted prospect man.
- 22:34Speaker 1: He was, he had the power, He was flashy. Remember
- 22:38Speaker 1: he like did a little dancing and you know, dropped
- 22:42Speaker 1: that one dude hands speed to look like he just
- 22:46Speaker 1: he looked like he had it all right. And people
- 22:51Speaker 1: now say, oh, you know, it was a horrible mistake
- 22:54Speaker 1: to put him in with Charlote. But I know plenty
- 22:57Speaker 1: of people that I respect, right that I definitely respect
- 23:02Speaker 1: that picked Lubin to beat Charlo and knock him out,
- 23:07Speaker 1: and Charlo, you know perfectly time punch just stopped him
- 23:15Speaker 1: dead in his tracks out. It was one of those
- 23:18Speaker 1: you almost had to you had to see the replay,
- 23:20Speaker 1: like hold on, what just what just happened? You know?
- 23:25Speaker 1: So you know, he's a guy that looked the part
- 23:32Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden didn't. And credit to
- 23:35Speaker 1: him though in many ways, because we've seen you know, fighters,
- 23:43Speaker 1: you know, get all this hype and then you just
- 23:46Speaker 1: you don't hear from him, right, maybe they get one
- 23:49Speaker 1: big knockout or something like that, and then you don't
- 23:52Speaker 1: hear from him because they get knocked out or whatever.
- 23:56Speaker 1: And you know, I mean it's hard to dude, it's
- 23:58Speaker 1: hard to That happened in twenty seventeen, and so they
- 24:05Speaker 1: built them back slowly but surely. Right, I thought, he
- 24:11Speaker 1: you know, looked pretty good against Gallimore and say in
- 24:15Speaker 1: that Rosario that was a big you know, he he
- 24:20Speaker 1: was he really did his thing in that fight. And
- 24:22Speaker 1: then the Fundora fight, and dude, that Friendora fight was
- 24:28Speaker 1: just phenomenal. And I'm going to actually look up the
- 24:31Speaker 1: scorecards eighty five eighty five eighty five eighty four, both
- 24:37Speaker 1: in Lubin's favor. That's what it was as the knockout happened,
- 24:43Speaker 1: and you know, not as it happened be you know, Wow,
- 24:47Speaker 1: that was basically the I mean, dude, that that fight.
- 24:50Speaker 1: I mean early on what the second round something like that.
- 24:54Speaker 1: I think it was the second round Lubin hits the campus,
- 24:59Speaker 1: but he had won the first and I thought he
- 25:01Speaker 1: came right back up when the second or one the third,
- 25:04Speaker 1: and then you know, it seemed like Fendora had control
- 25:08Speaker 1: of the fight until like the seventh and then you know,
- 25:11Speaker 1: like the fight was just phenomenal. And yeah, he did
- 25:16Speaker 1: end up getting stopped, you know, And that is the
- 25:20Speaker 1: thing about little bit he has he only has two losses,
- 25:23Speaker 1: but he was stopped in both of them. But you know,
- 25:28Speaker 1: he got he fought like a year later. I think
- 25:33Speaker 1: over a year later, Arius we'll be Sorrius, you know,
- 25:38Speaker 1: got by him. And then you know, like the Ramos fight,
- 25:45Speaker 1: it could have went either way. I thought it was
- 25:47Speaker 1: a very close fight. You know, excuse me just getting
- 25:52Speaker 1: some water here, but I think I think both of
- 25:55Speaker 1: them could have done a little bit more. But to me,
- 26:00Speaker 1: if you look at like who established himself enough? To me?
- 26:08Speaker 1: I don't know. I just don't think Ramos did enough
- 26:12Speaker 1: to win that fight. Now, you know, could you score
- 26:17Speaker 1: it to him, Sure, I think you can make an
- 26:20Speaker 1: argument that he won the fight. But there's just so
- 26:23Speaker 1: many things I can point to that. I don't think
- 26:27Speaker 1: it was like a horrible robbery or something like that,
- 26:30Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I just don't because he left.
- 26:34Speaker 1: It's not like, you know, I don't know. It's not
- 26:38Speaker 1: like Lubin had just this masterful performance, you know, but
- 26:45Speaker 1: he did get the knot. I thought I could have
- 26:47Speaker 1: went either way though, And then you know, he was
- 26:50Speaker 1: out for a while. You heard him rumored with this fighter,
- 26:54Speaker 1: rumored with that fighter. He's been out for a long time.
- 26:57Speaker 1: And luckily he was able to and I think it
- 26:59Speaker 1: was on pro Box with Holmes Junior. Luckily he was
- 27:04Speaker 1: able to get out and get a fight, get the
- 27:08Speaker 1: rust off. I thought he looked pretty good against Holmes.
- 27:12Speaker 1: It was it was a battle, don't get me wrong,
- 27:14Speaker 1: But he knocked him out. He ended up finishing him off,
- 27:19Speaker 1: and so like, yes, that was a competitive fight. Yes,
- 27:24Speaker 1: even the Ramos fight, you could say, well, I could
- 27:28Speaker 1: get enough, you know, rounds to give to go against
- 27:32Speaker 1: him and not win the fight. Sure, that's fine, but
- 27:37Speaker 1: at least I never thought he was in trouble and
- 27:41Speaker 1: either fight really but like I said, just getting a
- 27:45Speaker 1: fight and not going because here, let me check. It
- 27:48Speaker 1: was over well over a year September, late September twenty
- 27:53Speaker 1: twenty three, and then he didn't fight till last May,
- 27:56Speaker 1: this last May in twenty twenty five. So at least
- 28:00Speaker 1: he did get that fight. Like I said, I'm not
- 28:04Speaker 1: saying he looked phenomenal, but it's way better that he
- 28:07Speaker 1: got because you can sit there and train and stay
- 28:10Speaker 1: in shape, and we all know that's great, but you
- 28:13Speaker 1: do have to get the rust off. So I think
- 28:15Speaker 1: he was able to do that. And now he has
- 28:17Speaker 1: another camp and he should be ready to go. And
- 28:22Speaker 1: you know, obviously Virtual artis he's a guy that well
- 28:28Speaker 1: speaking of a movie set, you know, hurry up and wait.
- 28:32Speaker 1: You know that that's what his career was, right like
- 28:36Speaker 1: Rising Prospect, you know, got some good wins and then
- 28:44Speaker 1: you know the health issue stuff popped up. You know,
- 28:47Speaker 1: got that hooker win and got the got a couple
- 28:56Speaker 1: a couple of good wins really and then you know
- 29:01Speaker 1: he fought once. He it was like a year like
- 29:04Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Samuel Vargas fought three times in twenty or no,
- 29:10Speaker 1: two times, cave Alaskas, That's right, So he fought twice
- 29:15Speaker 1: and I'm looking at it now, fought twice in twenty
- 29:18Speaker 1: twenty one, but then only fought one time a year
- 29:21Speaker 1: later in twenty two, and then didn't fight till the
- 29:24Speaker 1: top in January. The top of January in twenty twenty four.
- 29:29Speaker 1: Now he was able to get three fights in that year,
- 29:34Speaker 1: you know, in you know, Boa Chuck. That was obviously
- 29:39Speaker 1: a great fight last summer, phenomenal fight, and you know,
- 29:46Speaker 1: he was able to get a fight. Now he hasn't
- 29:48Speaker 1: fought since February, so that is kind of a larger,
- 29:51Speaker 1: you know, larger break obviously, And you know, like Artiz,
- 29:58Speaker 1: he looked very vulnerable in that fight. You know, he
- 30:02Speaker 1: definitely did. Like there's times when you're watching that fight
- 30:05Speaker 1: like dude, he's gonna lose his fight. And it was
- 30:08Speaker 1: one of those fights where he kind of had to
- 30:11Speaker 1: just get through it, you know, I mean right off
- 30:15Speaker 1: the bat, it was like, oh shit, dude, he's down,
- 30:17Speaker 1: and he looked hurt, like really hurt got knocked down.
- 30:23Speaker 1: I should look I think it was the eighth something
- 30:25Speaker 1: like that eighth or nighte and but he finished so strong,
- 30:29Speaker 1: you know, But that was one of those fights where
- 30:31Speaker 1: you're like, they need to do rematch, they need to
- 30:35Speaker 1: run that back, and then you're looking at you know, Modrumov,
- 30:40Speaker 1: right who he thought earlier this year, and Modramov was
- 30:46Speaker 1: coming off. Yeah, I'm not saying it was a great
- 30:49Speaker 1: performance against Crawford, but he went all twelve rounds, which
- 30:54Speaker 1: not a lot of people can say that about Crawford, especially,
- 30:57Speaker 1: you know, like throughout the weight classes, and you know,
- 31:03Speaker 1: he I don't know, like Crawford is obviously a more
- 31:07Speaker 1: patient fighter, and so it was a weird style for him.
- 31:12Speaker 1: But people just kind of assumed, hey, you know, Madramov
- 31:16Speaker 1: is going to be a handful for a tease. And
- 31:18Speaker 1: you know, if you look at the first handful of realms,
- 31:21Speaker 1: I thought he was winning realms, but ortees. Once he
- 31:24Speaker 1: grabbed hold of that fight somewhere like in the fifth,
- 31:29Speaker 1: maybe fourth round something like that, he didn't really lose
- 31:32Speaker 1: too many after that. So I thought that was a
- 31:35Speaker 1: really good performance. And you know, as we come to
- 31:39Speaker 1: this fight, you know, like I think the way Lubin
- 31:48Speaker 1: ken Box on the outside a little bit, but he
- 31:52Speaker 1: ends up usually, you know, exchanging, you know, and I
- 31:59Speaker 1: just think back to that speed the pop. You know,
- 32:04Speaker 1: he's a seasoned veteran. Lubin is if it, if it does,
- 32:11Speaker 1: you know, if it does, get down and dirty and
- 32:14Speaker 1: it's just a brawl. On one hand, Lubin's very dangerous.
- 32:19Speaker 1: But on the other you know, you can say he's
- 32:23Speaker 1: chitty because it's only two losses, and he's been down
- 32:26Speaker 1: before that too, but he's only two losses. You know,
- 32:29Speaker 1: we're by knockout. So you know, I'm not one sold
- 32:35Speaker 1: that he's gonna get knocked out. I'm just not. Also
- 32:41Speaker 1: in the card, I think David Stevens is kind of
- 32:44Speaker 1: a law live dog if you're looking for some plus money.
- 32:48Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's gonna win. I don't think he's
- 32:50Speaker 1: gonna win, but just as far as a live dog. Look,
- 32:54Speaker 1: you know, I'm seeing him at plus four hundred plus
- 32:57Speaker 1: three seventy plus three eighty. But yeah, don't get me wrong.
- 33:03Speaker 1: I think, you know, Virgil Ortiz does have fundamentals and
- 33:08Speaker 1: he digs to the body. He does have a good job,
- 33:11Speaker 1: and so like part of me thinks that he's gonna
- 33:15Speaker 1: come forward and louwin for a while with score, you know,
- 33:21Speaker 1: good punches and win rounds. But at some point, you know,
- 33:28Speaker 1: I think he's just gonna wear him down. Now if
- 33:30Speaker 1: he knocks him up, I don't know, you know, I
- 33:32Speaker 1: got him in. I'm kind of in between. I haven't
- 33:34Speaker 1: made a bet yet. Just to give you an example, though,
- 33:39Speaker 1: you know, Lubin is definitely a big plus number plus
- 33:42Speaker 1: five hundred, a little under that, a little over that.
- 33:45Speaker 1: I'm seeing in certain places that the over unders nine
- 33:48Speaker 1: and a half. Ortez by knockout is minus one sixty two,
- 33:54Speaker 1: whereas by decision is plus one fifty eight. So clearly
- 33:59Speaker 1: they don't think they think Ortiz is gonna knock them out.
- 34:05Speaker 1: Will the fight go the distance? Yes or no? No
- 34:08Speaker 1: is minus one eighty eight, and yes is plus one
- 34:12Speaker 1: thirty four, So once again they don't think it's gonna
- 34:14Speaker 1: go to distance. On the flip side, I don't you know.
- 34:19Speaker 1: Of course, Lubin could win by decision, but it would
- 34:22Speaker 1: have to be like I'd say, like some knockdowns in
- 34:25Speaker 1: the play, But that's plus thirteen twenty five. We're knockout
- 34:29Speaker 1: as plus nine thirty. But we have seen both these
- 34:36Speaker 1: guys obviously on the canvas, and that's no big deal.
- 34:38Speaker 1: But I just it all matters like where lubin Head
- 34:45Speaker 1: is at as far as game plan, really, both of
- 34:50Speaker 1: them game plan, and who sticks to it. I favor
- 34:54Speaker 1: pretty cleanly, you know, Ortiz. And that's my decision or
- 34:59Speaker 1: not the decision, that's my prediction. I guess it is
- 35:02Speaker 1: my decision, no, But I just don't know if it's
- 35:04Speaker 1: by decision or knockout, you know. I feel like it's
- 35:09Speaker 1: gonna be a late take t k O. But I
- 35:13Speaker 1: don't know, man, I'm not I don't know. I'm kind
- 35:20Speaker 1: of in between midweek, like I said, I haven't made
- 35:23Speaker 1: a bet, kind of kind of in between on it.
- 35:27Speaker 1: I really don't know. But I definitely pick an Ortiz.
- 35:29Speaker 1: And just just because I like to pick up, you know,
- 35:33Speaker 1: I like to pick fights live on the show. I don't.
- 35:35Speaker 1: I don't like to just lead people hanging. So I'll
- 35:41Speaker 1: say I'll say late TKL t KL That's what I'll say.
- 35:48Speaker 1: I'll say, you know, later in the fight. But two
- 35:53Speaker 1: way fucking action, like this is gonna be a good fight.
- 35:57Speaker 1: And like I said, Ortiz fundamentally come forward. He can
- 36:02Speaker 1: dig to the body. He's got a good job. He
- 36:04Speaker 1: can block some shots with his guard a little bit.
- 36:07Speaker 1: It's just his defenses. Sometimes when he's coming forward, you're like,
- 36:11Speaker 1: all right, dude, you know he's showing something, and other
- 36:13Speaker 1: times not so much, you know. And on one hand,
- 36:17Speaker 1: it's like the I feel like the best way for
- 36:20Speaker 1: Lubin to win is by engaging right, because he can
- 36:27Speaker 1: land some really good ass punches in those very capable
- 36:30Speaker 1: in those exchanges. But I think the straighter puncher, the
- 36:34Speaker 1: guy probably with the better chin, just because you know
- 36:39Speaker 1: we've seen him hurt and he's withstand withstanding it. You
- 36:43Speaker 1: know he was able to get through it. But there's
- 36:48Speaker 1: also the look ahead, you know, speaking of college football,
- 36:51Speaker 1: when I talked about college football earlier, the look ahead,
- 36:56Speaker 1: the let down. There's a lot of different spots that
- 37:00Speaker 1: teams get in when you're you know, an eighteen to
- 37:04Speaker 1: twenty three year old and the look ahead. You know
- 37:07Speaker 1: you got your big rival a week away, but on Saturday,
- 37:12Speaker 1: you got a game like a twelve and a half
- 37:15Speaker 1: point favorite. You should win, but you know your mind's
- 37:21Speaker 1: not where it should be, and then you get caught
- 37:24Speaker 1: so Obviously I'm hoping for a good fight because I'm
- 37:29Speaker 1: a boxing fan, but I am gonna say Virgil artis
- 37:32Speaker 1: late TKO but or Ko whatever. But I'm still kind
- 37:39Speaker 1: of figuring how I can, you know, how I can
- 37:44Speaker 1: get money on both of them. You know, this one's
- 37:47Speaker 1: a little tough because I don't know, I mean, will
- 37:54Speaker 1: Lubin stop them? Probably not? So like maybe that thirteen
- 38:00Speaker 1: hundred because obviously, yeah plus thirteen hundred something, you don't
- 38:03Speaker 1: need to put much money on that, So I don't know.
- 38:08Speaker 1: I'm still kinda still kind of figuring out how I'm
- 38:11Speaker 1: gonna bet it. But anyway, that is that so yeah,
- 38:19Speaker 1: that that that that about wraps that up. You know,
- 38:25Speaker 1: like like I said, David Stevens, what else we got
- 38:29Speaker 1: a Mara Jones? The card really doesn't stand out. I'll
- 38:35Speaker 1: be honest, trying to think of some other going schedule
- 38:42Speaker 1: right now. The Delante Johnson and Nicolas flop Fiez said
- 38:46Speaker 1: flop hold on flaw flaws? Is that how you said?
- 38:51Speaker 1: That is? That's Friday night now and I and I
- 38:57Speaker 1: have I have direct TV right so, so you know
- 39:03Speaker 1: pro box and some other you know platforms you can
- 39:09Speaker 1: get in old fights that they rerun. I've noticed there's
- 39:13Speaker 1: a lot of channels now, whether it's an HBO channel
- 39:16Speaker 1: or even like on Amazon and other places that they
- 39:20Speaker 1: have these channels similar to Top Rank Right and Golden Boy
- 39:24Speaker 1: and all that. And and it's it's kind of interesting
- 39:28Speaker 1: because I have, you know, I haven't any boxing. It
- 39:32Speaker 1: gets recorded, you know, on my guide and and so
- 39:37Speaker 1: whether I watch you know, Pro Box in an app
- 39:41Speaker 1: or not, you know, for quite some time now, I've
- 39:46Speaker 1: been able to you know, it just pops up. I'm like, oh,
- 39:49Speaker 1: that's right, It's on my DVR already, you know, so
- 39:54Speaker 1: that's on pro Box though. And I would say, you know,
- 39:58Speaker 1: as far as even matchup, you know that is you
- 40:02Speaker 1: have that astro lobby dude who you know, he spot
- 40:08Speaker 1: in some on some you know, decent cards, that's for sure.
- 40:12Speaker 1: Out of wallings back in Action. So the Zone has
- 40:16Speaker 1: a card, the Zone has a card, two cards on Friday,
- 40:23Speaker 1: and Pro Box on Friday. Honestly, that Pro Box card,
- 40:27Speaker 1: that main event, and just in general, I do I
- 40:32Speaker 1: think that should be a really good fight. Yeah, Delante
- 40:37Speaker 1: Johnson and uh flat Nicolas Flaws. Is that how you
- 40:42Speaker 1: say that? I don't know I'm kind of in between
- 40:46Speaker 1: on that one. So yeah, it's you know, it's it's
- 40:55Speaker 1: not like like I said, it's been really hit or miss.
- 40:59Speaker 2: We do.
- 41:00Speaker 1: We have some big fights coming up, and we just
- 41:03Speaker 1: gotta hope that, you know, next year is much better
- 41:10Speaker 1: as boxing fans, right, we just gotta we just gotta
- 41:13Speaker 1: hope this is a fight. Kind of going to fight
- 41:19Speaker 1: news type stuff. You know, I saw boxing scene Lance
- 41:24Speaker 1: Pugmy or I believe Teyo Femo and Shakur the fight
- 41:29Speaker 1: deemed imminent for late January in New York. Now we've
- 41:34Speaker 1: heard that they've been in talks for a while, and
- 41:37Speaker 1: Eddie Hearns said that, you know, all these different networks
- 41:41Speaker 1: along the broadcast, did you know, I'm assuming it's gonna
- 41:46Speaker 1: be on pay per view. I wish, I wish. I
- 41:49Speaker 1: hope not. I wish it was on Netflix. Right, but
- 41:55Speaker 1: we'll see. I think it's gonna get done. But you
- 41:59Speaker 1: know how to man when you keep hearing oh it's close,
- 42:01Speaker 1: Oh it's close, and they're in talks, and and then
- 42:04Speaker 1: you see him pop off on Twitter a little bit
- 42:07Speaker 1: and whatever. Terrence Crawford did call out Jahana bec though
- 42:11Speaker 1: and say, hey, that was on the Inside the Ring podcast.
- 42:16Speaker 1: I'm trying to fight, That's what he said. Obviously, you
- 42:20Speaker 1: know he's got his hands full with Aris Lundi Lara first,
- 42:23Speaker 1: but we'll see where that goes. And then this one
- 42:27Speaker 1: was a shocker. Mauriso Silomon. The WBC Board of Governors
- 42:31Speaker 1: had voted in favor of lifting the ban on Ryan
- 42:34Speaker 1: Garcia after a successful process which he had been documented.
- 42:40Speaker 1: So yeah, hey great, and that's a lot of people
- 42:45Speaker 1: thought that he might get the the Jake Paul fight.
- 42:52Speaker 1: Satas on brunch Boxing on their Twitter that because we
- 42:57Speaker 1: heard that Nunias and Navarette is done. But then I
- 43:02Speaker 1: just saw it not long ago that actually had a
- 43:04Speaker 1: hern according to Eddy Hearn. They said, well, it's not
- 43:06Speaker 1: finalized just yet. This is kind of interesting here. Mike
- 43:11Speaker 1: Coppinger from The Ring, Berlanga and Ressindez are in talks
- 43:15Speaker 1: for a super middleweight fight in the first quarter of
- 43:17Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. Obviously, you know, Berlanga got rocked by
- 43:23Speaker 1: Shiraz called it uh and then Ressindez. I wasn't. I
- 43:29Speaker 1: didn't think he'd beat Plant. I would love that fight,
- 43:32Speaker 1: and I don't. I'm not gonna make the prediction, but
- 43:37Speaker 1: I don't know. I did see on if LTV that
- 43:42Speaker 1: Virgil Hunter said that andre Ward, you know, like he's
- 43:50Speaker 1: been backsparring and he quote quote unquote looks the same.
- 43:55Speaker 1: He added that Ward as serious about as Joshua excuse me,
- 44:00Speaker 1: Joshua matchup. Hmmm. I don't know, man. I would have
- 44:07Speaker 1: liked for him to fight someone a while ago if
- 44:12Speaker 1: he's going to but man, the more time goes by, yeah,
- 44:17Speaker 1: you can say, oh, I'm fresher now, but if you
- 44:21Speaker 1: get too far down the line and it's been how
- 44:25Speaker 1: long since his last fight, I don't know. Like, of
- 44:31Speaker 1: course I'm gonna watch it, but I don't know, man,
- 44:34Speaker 1: you know, it's pretty I don't know. I did see
- 44:38Speaker 1: Carlos Lenares talk about a big announcement for Cuba boxing.
- 44:44Speaker 1: The talented Cuban cruiserway based in Russia. Lenar Perez As
- 44:48Speaker 1: officially signed a promotional contract with I Am the Tiger
- 44:54Speaker 1: in Montreal, So there you go. Also, the saw this
- 45:03Speaker 1: screen or someone sent me this screenshot, adamzem In, Kurt Scoby,
- 45:07Speaker 1: Scott Scoby. Yeah, that's gonna be on the U Bank
- 45:10Speaker 1: Ben undercard. The rematch and then Dan Rafael breaking per
- 45:15Speaker 1: source heavyweight Derek Gesa and Dyllian White will not fight
- 45:21Speaker 1: for the third time in December thirteen, as that was
- 45:25Speaker 1: the plan, but Jasaura will not has had been in
- 45:30Speaker 1: the worst but Jassaur will not fight on that date
- 45:33Speaker 1: against anybody. I'm not sure of the reason. Huh they
- 45:37Speaker 1: were thinking about putting that on pay per view. This
- 45:40Speaker 1: one kind of surprised me as another if L t
- 45:44Speaker 1: IFL TV interview that Fabio Fabio worldly said that he's
- 45:52Speaker 1: open to a rematch now he said, depends on what
- 45:55Speaker 1: happens with the you know, potential fight with Usik, but
- 45:59Speaker 1: he'd be open for the Parker rematch. But that was
- 46:03Speaker 1: that was like, oh wow, okay, I think I think
- 46:07Speaker 1: that's fair. I also saw someone sent me this on
- 46:11Speaker 1: a screenshot. Anyway, Picasso in Japan is pay per view.
- 46:16Speaker 1: What do you know, Matt from brunch Boxing anyway is
- 46:22Speaker 1: not found on pay per view in Japan since twenty
- 46:24Speaker 1: twenty one. They made it a point to make his
- 46:26Speaker 1: fight successible to everyone in Japan. I don't know who's
- 46:30Speaker 1: to blame, but it's weird, you know, it's a weird
- 46:32Speaker 1: coincidence that his first riad season fight, you know, is
- 46:37Speaker 1: is a Paywalt. I like how he says that it's Paywalt. Also,
- 46:44Speaker 1: I think we talked about this January twenty fourth in Vegas,
- 46:48Speaker 1: Martaya and Cruz. I like that fight. I'm definitely looking
- 46:52Speaker 1: forward to that fight. I saw Ariel interviewed Devin Haney
- 46:57Speaker 1: and he said that he's no longer pursuing the lawsuit,
- 47:01Speaker 1: no more legal action. We're gonna talk a little bit
- 47:04Speaker 1: about a lossuit a second about you know, pertaining to
- 47:08Speaker 1: Ryan or Sea. This time though, he said it was
- 47:11Speaker 1: a fucked up situation for me and my team because
- 47:13Speaker 1: we got the short end of the stick. It was
- 47:16Speaker 1: a guy that cheated and I was getting all that flak.
- 47:19Speaker 1: I missed out on a lot of money. I wouldn't
- 47:21Speaker 1: have wanted to do it like that, which is why
- 47:24Speaker 1: I ended up didn't end up doing it like that.
- 47:28Speaker 1: I didn't go down that route. I said, let's fight.
- 47:31Speaker 1: Let's forget that, forget any lawsuit, forget anything. Let's settle
- 47:34Speaker 1: in the ring. He also mentioned and I saw this
- 47:38Speaker 1: screenshot and they say I can't block a left hook right. Well,
- 47:42Speaker 1: we saw Brian Norman was last night. He knocked the
- 47:45Speaker 1: guy out cold with a left hook. They say I
- 47:47Speaker 1: can't take a punch. From what they say, he's the
- 47:50Speaker 1: kryptonite to his style. That's why this fight is so
- 47:55Speaker 1: important for me to turn the non believers into believers
- 47:58Speaker 1: and prove the doubters and they say is wrong. I
- 48:02Speaker 1: will say this, Garcia's speed and snap on his left
- 48:08Speaker 1: hook is a little different. Not to say that Norman.
- 48:11Speaker 1: I know, I'm gonna get people. What are you talking about.
- 48:13Speaker 1: I'm not saying he doesn't have speed and snap. But
- 48:17Speaker 1: you know, Garcia, there's plenty of things that I don't
- 48:20Speaker 1: like about the dude, but he does have fast hands.
- 48:23Speaker 1: He has no defense, but he you know, he does
- 48:25Speaker 1: have fast hands. So but in a sense similar Norman
- 48:30Speaker 1: at times does you know, find himself in bad position
- 48:34Speaker 1: like with his footwork. But yeah, I mean, if you
- 48:40Speaker 1: want to prove somebody that you know that you can
- 48:44Speaker 1: block a left hook, well here you go, you know,
- 48:48Speaker 1: here you go. So I've been getting questions that I've
- 48:51Speaker 1: seen people talk about this just Zone thing and Phil
- 48:55Speaker 1: Jay from World Boxing News to Zone someone get me
- 49:00Speaker 1: a message in and sent me a screenshot of this.
- 49:03Speaker 1: This is his Twitter account. Dezona is changing how they pay,
- 49:06Speaker 1: how you pay for pay per view they broke it
- 49:10Speaker 1: down the exact costs and value of the new premiere
- 49:13Speaker 1: tier for fans based on fifteen event calendar a major chain.
- 49:17Speaker 1: Blah blah. I still haven't gotten any like paperwork on
- 49:22Speaker 1: this as far as what he was talking about, but
- 49:27Speaker 1: I did see the Amazon thing and Dezone dizone is
- 49:34Speaker 1: now available as a subscription on Prime Video in the
- 49:38Speaker 1: US and UK. It says, you know, enjoy one hundred
- 49:42Speaker 1: and eighty five fight nights, top year football, golf, basketball,
- 49:45Speaker 1: blah blah blah. But here's the thing, do Zone pay
- 49:48Speaker 1: per view events can also be purchased starting this month? So,
- 49:56Speaker 1: but it doesn't It's kind of vague. It doesn't say
- 50:00Speaker 1: so do you need a subscription? You know, because that's
- 50:03Speaker 1: I saw, like Al Dawson and Abraham Gunzal is kind
- 50:07Speaker 1: of talking about this, and he said, the one good
- 50:09Speaker 1: thing about Abraham did the one good thing about the
- 50:13Speaker 1: Zone being on Prime is that you can purchase his
- 50:16Speaker 1: own pay per views through Prime instead of having the
- 50:18Speaker 1: Zone sub and then having to purchase it. And he said,
- 50:22Speaker 1: still waiting to see what the ring pass is going
- 50:24Speaker 1: to look like. But then al Dawson said, I got
- 50:27Speaker 1: the message earlier from his own officially that this wasn't
- 50:30Speaker 1: the case that you must have a subscription via the
- 50:34Speaker 1: channel first, meaning the Zone on Amazon before you could
- 50:40Speaker 1: buy it. So and then his thing is, so what
- 50:46Speaker 1: what was this part? He said? Am I bugging his own?
- 50:49Speaker 1: Pay per view events will also be available as a
- 50:53Speaker 1: separate purchase beginning, you know, with the ubaate thing. And
- 50:58Speaker 1: obviously that's what I'll a lot of boxing fans would want.
- 51:04Speaker 1: Whereas like, you don't eve gott to fuck with that.
- 51:06Speaker 1: That's why I don't think it's gonna happen. But you
- 51:09Speaker 1: don't even have to fuck with the Zone. You can
- 51:11Speaker 1: just buy their pay per views from time to time
- 51:14Speaker 1: on Amazon, you know. But yeah, I mean the Zone
- 51:20Speaker 1: pay per view events will also be available as separate
- 51:23Speaker 1: purchase beginning. But when they say separate purchase, it means you.
- 51:28Speaker 1: It just sounds like you need to have the Zone
- 51:31Speaker 1: because it's why would it need to be a separate
- 51:34Speaker 1: purchase that the word purchase is in there being you
- 51:37Speaker 1: already purchased something from them, that's their apps. I don't know, man,
- 51:42Speaker 1: I really don't know. I really don't know. But the
- 51:46Speaker 1: Roku channel, the to be Visio all that shit's pretty cool,
- 51:56Speaker 1: you know, for top rank at least. We Hey, shit,
- 51:58Speaker 1: I'll take whatever we can get at this right now,
- 52:00Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. Right now, I want to have
- 52:04Speaker 1: a deeper discussion with John. But you know, about a
- 52:13Speaker 1: variety of things when it comes to this. But multiple
- 52:17Speaker 1: people set me this this Aero Spence thing and that
- 52:22Speaker 1: he's retiring. But I also know that it's from an
- 52:25Speaker 1: account that's kind of funky as far as the screen
- 52:32Speaker 1: shot and just seeing that account. You know, now, if
- 52:39Speaker 1: he officially did retire, you know, like shots out to him, dude,
- 52:45Speaker 1: you know, like I wouldn't look at him any worse
- 52:53Speaker 1: or anything like that, you know what I mean, I
- 52:58Speaker 1: really would. But you know, as far as you know,
- 53:05Speaker 1: has he made it official that he retired, I haven't
- 53:14Speaker 1: seen that, you know, I haven't seen that, but I
- 53:20Speaker 1: keep seeing that he that he did. So if he did, well,
- 53:28Speaker 1: either way, he shots out to him, right. But if
- 53:31Speaker 1: he did, then you know, I don't know. We've heard
- 53:36Speaker 1: it all year actually and he retired, he retired. We've
- 53:39Speaker 1: heard that a variety of times this year. And if
- 53:43Speaker 1: he hangs it up, he hangs it up, Like I said,
- 53:44Speaker 1: he's had a he had a hell of a career.
- 53:47Speaker 1: No uh, no shade or anything like that, you know,
- 53:51Speaker 1: shouts out to him. So but I don't know, I
- 53:54Speaker 1: don't know that to be a fact. Just just putting
- 53:57Speaker 1: that out there. Okay. So oh and with this, Darante
- 54:02Speaker 1: Davis got pulled from the Jake Paul Netflix fight. There's
- 54:08Speaker 1: a lawsuit and allegations. Okay, and this is all I'll
- 54:12Speaker 1: say it again. It's all allegations. It's allegedly. Okay, we're
- 54:17Speaker 1: talking about a civil lawsuit as of right now. Obviously
- 54:21Speaker 1: some criminal charges you know, could come right if this
- 54:29Speaker 1: stuff involved some of the language, use, some of the
- 54:35Speaker 1: not just language, but you know, if the actions are
- 54:37Speaker 1: even close to being true, it could be deeper than
- 54:41Speaker 1: just this lawsuit. And with him, you know, multiple times,
- 54:50Speaker 1: you know, like we just went through this, we went
- 54:53Speaker 1: through this a while back. We you know, like multiple
- 54:57Speaker 1: times it's been like an ex girlfriend or his ex
- 55:01Speaker 1: you know, the mother of his child, just people that
- 55:05Speaker 1: he've had has relationships with or has kids with, and
- 55:09Speaker 1: it was a former relationship. All of a sudden, the
- 55:12Speaker 1: chargers just go away and they get dropped and whatever
- 55:16Speaker 1: it was almost you know, it's with these scenarios. You
- 55:20Speaker 1: just never know. But you know there's an old saying, right,
- 55:23Speaker 1: and that brought it up A couple signs that Jona
- 55:25Speaker 1: day where there's smoke, there's fire, right, And the amount
- 55:31Speaker 1: of smoke. I mean this is like the Canadian fires,
- 55:35Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying in the summer. Like there's
- 55:39Speaker 1: a whole lot of fucking smoke. So, like I said,
- 55:43Speaker 1: allege all this stuff, but I mean it was enough.
- 55:48Speaker 1: Like he's been alleged before and they've gone through with fights,
- 55:52Speaker 1: but I mean, you know, he got taken off this
- 55:55Speaker 1: So just reading this from ESPN. A little while ago,
- 56:02Speaker 1: a civil lawsuit was filed in Miami Dade County, you know,
- 56:09Speaker 1: alleged domestic incident. According to lawsuit inquired by ESPN, Davis
- 56:16Speaker 1: is accused by ex girlfriend Courtney Rossell a battery, aggravated battery,
- 56:23Speaker 1: agervaty battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, intentional infliction of emotional distress. Now,
- 56:30Speaker 1: when people hear that last thing, intentional infliction of emotional
- 56:35Speaker 1: distress and they hear civil suit, a lot of people
- 56:40Speaker 1: just need jerk and go, oh, she's just looking for money,
- 56:44Speaker 1: you know. And some of these alleged things I've gotten
- 56:48Speaker 1: thrown out right, but the detail and you know, I
- 56:58Speaker 1: don't know witness wise, you know, I don't know. I
- 57:04Speaker 1: don't know, you know, I'm blind with this stuff. We've
- 57:09Speaker 1: only seen him as far as when it comes to
- 57:11Speaker 1: like this type of stuff, We've only seen that one
- 57:16Speaker 1: video of him, you know, handling a girl, grabbing her
- 57:20Speaker 1: by her jacket. People said he choked her out right there.
- 57:25Speaker 1: He didn't choke her out, but he grabbed her by
- 57:28Speaker 1: like real close to the neck in the jacket. It
- 57:32Speaker 1: was bad like And it's hard not to when I've
- 57:36Speaker 1: said this before too, it's hard not to think that
- 57:39Speaker 1: more's happening when you're willing to do that in public,
- 57:43Speaker 1: you know, And this is in public, this stuff that's
- 57:48Speaker 1: alleged here, so you know it goes on further, you
- 57:58Speaker 1: know that. ESPN also confirmed with one of the women's
- 58:05Speaker 1: attorney that filed on Tuesday Miami Garden's Police Department. So
- 58:12Speaker 1: according to complaint, Davis allegedly stormed into Tutsis As, a
- 58:16Speaker 1: gentleman's club where this female worked as a VIP cocktail
- 58:21Speaker 1: server in the early hours on Monday, attacked her in
- 58:25Speaker 1: the back room of the club that did not have cameras, Okay, Now,
- 58:31Speaker 1: was there anyone around? That's that's what I don't know,
- 58:34Speaker 1: but he said. She said he dragged her through a
- 58:38Speaker 1: stairwell kitchen in the back exit before physically assaulting her
- 58:44Speaker 1: in the parking garage. So she talked about having a
- 58:49Speaker 1: five month relationship prior to the incident, set he multiple
- 58:53Speaker 1: incidents of domestic abuse, violence, and threats. Now here's where.
- 58:59Speaker 1: So if there's no cameras, are there visible damage that
- 59:05Speaker 1: has been photographed? Right? Because that plays into it too.
- 59:11Speaker 1: That that's where. That's where we're gonna find out, you know,
- 59:16Speaker 1: because she talked about multiple times of assault and being
- 59:21Speaker 1: choked and stuff like that. And here's where you know,
- 59:25Speaker 1: verbally said threatened to kill her. But there's text messages allegedly,
- 59:32Speaker 1: and you know, one of the texts. A second incident
- 59:39Speaker 1: took place September twenty third, when she said Davis accused
- 59:42Speaker 1: her of infidelity and text I'll kill you. You know.
- 59:49Speaker 1: There was another text on on my way to your house.
- 59:52Speaker 1: You know. So I'm not gonna keep going into details here, okay.
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: Like I said, ultimately, I'm not gonna sit here and
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: act like I know. Okay, Now, I'm also not trying
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: to just act like it's no big deal, you know
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: what I mean. Like I said, generally speaking, where there's smoke,
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: there's fire, and there's been a lot of smoke with Gervante. Okay,
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: so these are alleged. We'll see if some criminal charges
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: come from this, we'll see. You know what kind of
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: evidence we're talking about. Do those text messages hold up?
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: You know, because in the last one, I believe it
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: was somebody else was there watching, you know, seeing this
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: take place, but then not there was another one a
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: few years ago, was it before the framement. I get confused.
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: There's been too many of them, you know, and some
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: of this stuff his arguments that then turn weird. And sure,
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: maybe he didn't hit her in that scenario, but even
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: putting yourself in, you know, because remember before is like
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: picking up your kid or dropping off your kid whatever.
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: But you know, he uh, he just keeps finding himself
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: in these scenarios. And yes, we know that people make
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: up stuff, We know all that, but we can't victim
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: of shame and just say oh, just because the last
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: two got dropped, That's not how I do it. But
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: in the same breath, I can't just sit there and
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: be like he did all this shit. I don't know,
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: you know, I haven't seen the tape or anything like that,
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: so it's fucked up. But I you know, honestly, there's
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: a lot in this lawsuit, and there's with some of
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: the track record he's had just outside the ring, regardless
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: of what we're talking about, whether it's the hit and
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: run or whatever. Right, and the one that was actually
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: on camera where he grabbed that woman. I'm glad they
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: took him off. I'm glad they took him off. I
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: never was big on this fight anyway. I'm just I'm
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: glad they took him off the car, point in blank, period.
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: Really glad they did so a lot of times that
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: doesn't happen. Now, I will say that, you know, some
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: people pick and choose, many people in the media and
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: fans pick and choose who they're who they hold responsible
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: for stuff, and who they're willing to just sidestep and
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: watch them on pay per view, you know. So, I
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: mean this is prevalent in other cases where there's boxing
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: and other sports and just in life, right, domestic abuses
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: and of really really horrible thing obviously, and the way
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: it gets the way. There's just too many times, and yeah,
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: sometimes it's the female dropping in charge, right, But you
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: also think, well, one if someone got out on bail,
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: or one if some only went for a little bit
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: and then they said they're gonna kill me, they almost
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: killed me, and then they do when they get out,
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: you know. So it's it's just easy to sit on
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: the sidelines and be like, well, why did you say
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: something earlier? You know, It's just it's a lot it's
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: easy to say that shift in the sidelines. Anyway. I'm
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: not going to go further into that because I don't
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: know and I don't want to keep going over the
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: same thing. But like I said, this this dude is
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: I'm glad they took him out the fight. Lets boot
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: that way anyway. I'll be back next week. Hopefully we
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: get some bangers on that pro box and obviously you
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: know or teez Lubin. Hopefully that is like the banger
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: of bangers. Anyway, I'm gonna get out of here, enjoy
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: the fights. Piece
