Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Hey, what boxing fans. This is the rope of Dobe
- 0:05Speaker 1: Radio podcast. I am your host, Chris Carlson. We are
- 0:08Speaker 1: live on a Wednesday afternoon. Hope everybody's doing okay. We
- 0:13Speaker 1: will start with some recap from the weekend, whether it's
- 0:18Speaker 1: Lao comedo or Taylor losing for a third straight time,
- 0:23Speaker 1: some of the other bouts that took place from last
- 0:27Speaker 1: weekend as well. We were preview. We will preview the
- 0:34Speaker 1: the PBC Amazon card that you know. The co features
- 0:38Speaker 1: the top two fights on the card as far as
- 0:43Speaker 1: you know order. It's basically like a build up to
- 0:47Speaker 1: a fight with those two Plant and Charlot. I do
- 0:52Speaker 1: kind of wish that Plant had a better opponent. I
- 0:56Speaker 1: totally understand the level of opponent and Charlot has considering
- 1:02Speaker 1: how long he's been out of the ring. I'm not
- 1:05Speaker 1: a you know, tune ups. Some people call tune ups
- 1:10Speaker 1: like a stay busy fight or something like that. Or
- 1:15Speaker 1: someone will have two fights in the year and they'll
- 1:18Speaker 1: be like, oh, stay busy, but really a stay busy,
- 1:20Speaker 1: non threatening at all opponent, he should probably be fighting
- 1:25Speaker 1: three times then if you're gonna take one of those.
- 1:28Speaker 1: But I get it in this scenario, tune ups can
- 1:31Speaker 1: be kind of funky, but overall, you know, when you're
- 1:35Speaker 1: off that much time to get a camp and a
- 1:38Speaker 1: fight and then have another camp and then have a
- 1:42Speaker 1: fight with Caleb plan I think is probably the best
- 1:44Speaker 1: way to deliver that fight. But we'll see. There is
- 1:49Speaker 1: some under card action and other items as well. We
- 1:53Speaker 1: actually have a card tonight that should be stylistically a
- 1:57Speaker 1: good fight. And then yesterday I wrote down what's up
- 2:05Speaker 1: with Tale Femo and in Boots, what's up at that fight?
- 2:12Speaker 1: You know, like I thought this was kind of like
- 2:15Speaker 1: the plan all along, and so why wouldn't it just
- 2:19Speaker 1: be a known star already? Then there's talks about Devin
- 2:25Speaker 1: Haney in Lopez. Well, then last night I see late
- 2:31Speaker 1: last night, maybe even early today, I think it was
- 2:34Speaker 1: early today, I can't remember, but Lopez said he got fired.
- 2:42Speaker 1: So supposedly there's an agreement that wasn't fully signed with
- 2:48Speaker 1: Hany and Lopez to fight a catchweight, which always that's
- 2:52Speaker 1: kind of weird a catchwaight, but that is crazy. If
- 2:59Speaker 1: this doesn't through and he got fired about that would
- 3:02Speaker 1: be that'd be silly. So why didn't Boots take the
- 3:06Speaker 1: fight for one? And then why is why isn't how
- 3:10Speaker 1: did how did this happen? So? So you wanted to
- 3:13Speaker 1: fight Boots but you don't want to fight Hainy Or
- 3:18Speaker 1: was it because it was a catchway? Maybe that was
- 3:20Speaker 1: the problem, even though you just fought it one forty
- 3:24Speaker 1: so that shouldn't be a problem. I don't know, it's
- 3:29Speaker 1: just kind of weird. There's also a little news of
- 3:32Speaker 1: AJ signing a Saudi deal, so we'll talk a little
- 3:39Speaker 1: bit about all that good stuff. If this is your

- 4:52Speaker 1: I generally like to start, and that is in the ring. Okay,
- 4:58Speaker 1: So we'll start with Layo and Comita. You know, for
- 5:03Speaker 1: the first let's see my scorecard. Four rounds. I had
- 5:09Speaker 1: Angela Lao kind of cruising. I mean, the first round
- 5:12Speaker 1: was really slow, really maybe just a jab early on,
- 5:16Speaker 1: and overall the jab dominated as far as I mean,
- 5:21Speaker 1: I think he landed more. I don't have the copy box,
- 5:23Speaker 1: but either way, they were crisp jabs. Round two there
- 5:29Speaker 1: was like a late left uppercut to go along with
- 5:32Speaker 1: the jabs and maybe a hook in there from Lao.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Round two, the jab in the left hook. Then you
- 5:38Speaker 1: started to see Comita land a few nice left hooks,
- 5:41Speaker 1: especially like during an exchange, and in the fourth round
- 5:48Speaker 1: you could start to see him come on kind of late.
- 5:50Speaker 1: In that fourth round, Comita, although the body works some
- 5:54Speaker 1: body punching in the jab, I still was given that
- 5:57Speaker 1: to Lao, so I had him up for zip and
- 5:59Speaker 1: then the round both fighters were digging to the body
- 6:03Speaker 1: with short shots and the inside and the fight started
- 6:08Speaker 1: heating up, and I gave the fifth. Although it was close,
- 6:13Speaker 1: it could have went either way. I definitely gave the sixth.
- 6:16Speaker 1: It was two way round, but I like Comita. Both
- 6:21Speaker 1: of them kind of did a mixture of this where
- 6:23Speaker 1: they you know, they do the jab and hooks and bodywork,
- 6:26Speaker 1: but they were do this like little slight movement or pivot,
- 6:31Speaker 1: you know, just laying the shot and then dip but
- 6:34Speaker 1: not dip too far and kept the fighter that was
- 6:37Speaker 1: coming at you coming forward, kind of kept them off
- 6:40Speaker 1: balance and then would land and then continue to keep
- 6:43Speaker 1: them moth balanced. They kind of both were doing that
- 6:45Speaker 1: at times. The seventh round, to me, that was a
- 6:49Speaker 1: really close round. It could have went either way. I
- 6:53Speaker 1: gave it to Comita, but it was close. And then
- 6:56Speaker 1: I thought Leo starting himself in the eighth and the
- 7:00Speaker 1: ninth round the lead right hands the hooks to the body.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Of course, that stiff jab in the eighth and then
- 7:08Speaker 1: the ninth just the better overall lands, although Comedia did
- 7:11Speaker 1: kind of come on late in that round. I gave
- 7:14Speaker 1: Comedia the tenth round once again the short shots landing,
- 7:19Speaker 1: very clean jabs. A few nice shots from Layo, but
- 7:24Speaker 1: not enough. But I gave the eleventh in the twelth
- 7:28Speaker 1: to Layo and Leo Layou just better lands, you know,
- 7:33Speaker 1: same stuff, quick, little calm commos than he was doing
- 7:38Speaker 1: his movement, and just the more telling shots. So I
- 7:43Speaker 1: thought it was close. It was competitive, you know, So
- 7:46Speaker 1: I had it. I mean I could. I could go
- 7:48Speaker 1: seven five, maybe seven four, one eight four in that range.
- 7:56Speaker 1: When I count them up, it is with close rounds
- 7:59Speaker 1: and everything. Yeah, eight to four, seven four one, whatever
- 8:02Speaker 1: you want to say, seven of five, max. Uh. The
- 8:05Speaker 1: scorecards had it one fifteen, one thirteen, one sixteen, one eleven,
- 8:10Speaker 1: I'm sorry, one twelve, and then one fourteen one fourteen,
- 8:13Speaker 1: which I didn't really agree with on that, to be honest,
- 8:18Speaker 1: I just didn't see that that outcome. I didn't see
- 8:25Speaker 1: a draw, even though seven of five. I thought, like
- 8:28Speaker 1: I said, to give more than five rounds, I thought
- 8:33Speaker 1: you really had to kind of bend over backwards for it.
- 8:38Speaker 1: So Leo, you know, defends his belt. Really, you know,
- 8:45Speaker 1: I liked what I saw out of the fight. It was.
- 8:47Speaker 1: It was really good the way he started the fight
- 8:50Speaker 1: in the first four rounds and then when they when
- 8:51Speaker 1: he closed it the last handful of rounds. I thought
- 8:56Speaker 1: it was a good performance and uh, we'll see where
- 9:00Speaker 1: he moves on from there. We did have that rematch
- 9:04Speaker 1: of Pedro to Duran to Duraan to Duram against uh
- 9:10Speaker 1: Chika Shakeiga. This was a rematch from a knockout win.
- 9:19Speaker 1: But and to me this was a clear win. I
- 9:24Speaker 1: know that one of the judges had it seven to five.
- 9:29Speaker 1: I thought it was a clean win. I thought it
- 9:31Speaker 1: was competitive. But I but I did think that like
- 9:37Speaker 1: I said that it was it was. It was a close,
- 9:39Speaker 1: you know, close fight and all that. But I didn't
- 9:42Speaker 1: see Shakeigo winning or Shaqui Shajika. I I hate, I
- 9:51Speaker 1: hate that I'm butchering his name. My apologies. And and
- 10:00Speaker 1: actually he was the I think, wasn't he the He
- 10:08Speaker 1: was the boxer that after that fight, after his loss,
- 10:13Speaker 1: he he was hospitalized. He's you know, remains in you
- 10:18Speaker 1: know a difficult situation obviously for the family and friends
- 10:22Speaker 1: and it just in general boxing family in general. He
- 10:25Speaker 1: did have to be you know, rushed Tod to the
- 10:29Speaker 1: hospital and I saw. I think it was the ib
- 10:35Speaker 1: F that put out something pretty sure as the ib
- 10:40Speaker 1: F that that talked about how you know he's in
- 10:42Speaker 1: serious condition and you know, condolences go out to him
- 10:45Speaker 1: and his family and all that. So yeah, it's that's
- 10:50Speaker 1: the thing about boxing. And you know, I've complained about
- 10:55Speaker 1: early stoppages and this obviously wasn't necessarily you know, elate
- 11:01Speaker 1: well in early stoppage, but you know, just just one
- 11:05Speaker 1: of those things where you do have to remember to
- 11:09Speaker 1: you know, keep everything in perspective when we're talking about this.
- 11:12Speaker 1: It's it's a dangerous you know, the old you can't
- 11:15Speaker 1: play you don't play boxing, right, and when stuff like
- 11:19Speaker 1: this happens, you know, it's just basically kind of reiterates it,
- 11:28Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, condolences go out to to him.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Hopefully you know he's able to recover from that and uh,
- 11:38Speaker 1: you know be healthy as soon as possible. So yeah, that,
- 11:46Speaker 1: uh that always sucks. You know, definitely that that that's
- 11:52Speaker 1: a rough one as far there was also was Hanabusa.
- 12:01Speaker 1: He he that was a split decision too. I didn't
- 12:05Speaker 1: see every fight on this card, but there were some upsets.
- 12:12Speaker 1: It was it was a good card from the I
- 12:14Speaker 1: think I saw four of the fights. So but in
- 12:17Speaker 1: the end, you know, Leo moves on. Speaking of moving on,
- 12:27Speaker 1: Josh Taylor and a cow Esmon, someone said it's someone
- 12:37Speaker 1: sent me a message saying it's ess. So the even
- 12:42Speaker 1: take away the es men esmond and they said cow
- 12:48Speaker 1: that's how the someone said, that's the pronunciation. All right.
- 12:52Speaker 1: So in that fight, you know, I thought Taylor was
- 12:57Speaker 1: looking pretty decent. Obviously, this is not at the highest
- 13:04Speaker 1: level of walterweight. Walterweight obviously has been diminished in recent
- 13:08Speaker 1: years from a lot of you know, fighters moving up
- 13:13Speaker 1: or retiring or whatever. And so going to this fight,
- 13:20Speaker 1: you kind of wondered, all right, where's he at. Where's
- 13:22Speaker 1: Josh Taylor at? He's lost, you know, fights in a row,
- 13:27Speaker 1: you know, where's his head at? Like we're you know,
- 13:30Speaker 1: is he just gone? You know, we talked about how
- 13:33Speaker 1: the weight, you know, it's been an issue, but now
- 13:38Speaker 1: you obviously can't use that as an issue or a
- 13:42Speaker 1: problem or whatever. And s m is good. Is a
- 13:47Speaker 1: good fighter, you know, but like I said, he's more
- 13:51Speaker 1: of a outside fringe contender obviously. Now you know, I'm
- 13:57Speaker 1: not saying he can't even be when I say fringe contenter,
- 14:00Speaker 1: sometimes that could be the eighth or ninth guy. So
- 14:05Speaker 1: this kind of makes him a contender at that weight class.
- 14:08Speaker 1: But I did think the first let me see my scorecard.
- 14:11Speaker 1: First two rounds I gave to Taylor, he landed like
- 14:16Speaker 1: multiple hard left hands that was actually pushing him back,
- 14:22Speaker 1: and there was a really nice body shot that kind
- 14:26Speaker 1: of affected him and looked like and then early in
- 14:32Speaker 1: the second you see Esmond land tu really right hands,
- 14:38Speaker 1: a body shot later in that round two, but a
- 14:43Speaker 1: few left to the head, a jab, you know, left
- 14:48Speaker 1: hands to the body. I thought that was good enough
- 14:51Speaker 1: that the third round I thought was very competitive. Esmond
- 14:56Speaker 1: was had like a flurry to the body and head
- 14:58Speaker 1: kind of early and then he landed like these short
- 15:04Speaker 1: right hooks to the head, and I thought that, you know,
- 15:09Speaker 1: he landed a good jab and a pot shot later
- 15:12Speaker 1: in the round, and so it was like, all right,
- 15:14Speaker 1: you know, he definitely I thought he won that round Taylor.
- 15:17Speaker 1: I gave Taylor the fourth. In the fifth round, Taylor
- 15:24Speaker 1: landed really nice left hands to the body and a
- 15:28Speaker 1: left to the head that stumbled us. Now, as to
- 15:31Speaker 1: his credit, did fire back with a big right hand
- 15:35Speaker 1: that knocked Taylor back, so it was starting to really
- 15:38Speaker 1: heat up. The fifth was a kind of a close
- 15:42Speaker 1: round too, but I thought, I thought overall he landed
- 15:48Speaker 1: a better shot. There was life some really hooked, good
- 15:51Speaker 1: hooks that landed solidly. In the last minute or so.
- 15:57Speaker 1: The sixth round, Man, that was close again. I mean,
- 16:00Speaker 1: I thought that was just as close as probably closer
- 16:04Speaker 1: than the third round. It felt like Taylor landed the
- 16:09Speaker 1: better lands, but it was close. Could have went either way.
- 16:12Speaker 1: There was a head clash right around that time. Was
- 16:16Speaker 1: it the sixth or the seventh? I thought Sam in
- 16:21Speaker 1: the seventh, this is where he took over the fight.
- 16:23Speaker 1: The seventh round, he was busier. He was landing really
- 16:26Speaker 1: nice body work he got Taylor got off to a
- 16:29Speaker 1: good start in the eighth, but then the lead right
- 16:32Speaker 1: hands to the head and his jab he started Esam
- 16:35Speaker 1: started bringing out his jab more so I gave him
- 16:38Speaker 1: the seventh in the eighth. In the ninth jab little
- 16:43Speaker 1: quick combos to the head and body, big right hands
- 16:46Speaker 1: like with a little over a minute left. Taylor did
- 16:50Speaker 1: fire back, but it really didn't matter. Essen landed the
- 16:52Speaker 1: better shots and was just busier. In the tenth round,
- 16:57Speaker 1: combos to the head in the eleventh round, and once
- 17:01Speaker 1: again just landing better in my opinion, in the twelfth.
- 17:04Speaker 1: So he literally from the seventh to the twelfth he
- 17:07Speaker 1: swept it. So you know, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,
- 17:12Speaker 1: You know that that's pretty fucking big. You know, you
- 17:16Speaker 1: win the last six rounds, you only need to win
- 17:21Speaker 1: one of those first six then and the sixth and
- 17:23Speaker 1: the third were really really close. So you know, would
- 17:28Speaker 1: I have been okay with a draw, Yeah, I probably
- 17:30Speaker 1: would have been okay, But you know I gave it
- 17:38Speaker 1: to Essam just because I gave him the third round. Basically,
- 17:45Speaker 1: you know one sixteen one thirteen, one fifteen one twelve
- 17:48Speaker 1: and one fifteen one thirteen. I didn't see eight to
- 17:52Speaker 1: four or you know one sixteen one thirteen, maybe that's
- 17:57Speaker 1: seven four to one. But you know, he faded. He faded,
- 18:08Speaker 1: and it wasn't just like always gassed, he can't do anything.
- 18:12Speaker 1: You know, he was just getting beat too. So it
- 18:14Speaker 1: wasn't so it wasn't like I don't know, it just
- 18:18Speaker 1: wasn't like I said, there's no excuses. You know, you're
- 18:22Speaker 1: up at a higher weight class. I think you're just
- 18:24Speaker 1: washed dude, you know, I think you're just washed. I
- 18:28Speaker 1: really think that's all it is. I think that's literally
- 18:31Speaker 1: all it is. He had Moses land a really was
- 18:39Speaker 1: it a right hook? I think a perfectly timed right
- 18:42Speaker 1: He had knocked him down and then you landed a
- 18:45Speaker 1: right hook right in motion, you know, right in the exchange.
- 18:49Speaker 1: It dropped him. And so Moses, man, you know that
- 18:54Speaker 1: for a heavyweight prospect. Man, he's he's pretty impressive, and
- 18:59Speaker 1: he keeps geting and better. I think that was his
- 19:02Speaker 1: twelve fight. You know, obviously he needs rounds. You know,
- 19:10Speaker 1: he's basically gone one in two rounds for a while. Now.
- 19:13Speaker 1: I know that early on he went the sixth round.
- 19:17Speaker 1: I think it a sixth round. Let me check, actually
- 19:22Speaker 1: he went the sixth round distance? Yeah he did. Yeah,
- 19:25Speaker 1: so in his third and fourth fight he went the distance,
- 19:29Speaker 1: the sixth round distance. But ever since then one one
- 19:32Speaker 1: one two two one two. So you know, they do
- 19:37Speaker 1: need to start picking it up on you know, like overall,
- 19:44Speaker 1: obviously I think that that would be important, you know,
- 19:51Speaker 1: to uh to do that. But yeah, I I really
- 20:01Speaker 1: I like what I see out of him. It's kind
- 20:03Speaker 1: of hard not to, like, I said, the right I
- 20:06Speaker 1: think it was like a short right hook. It was
- 20:10Speaker 1: just well, you know, brilliantly timed. So yeah, I mean
- 20:16Speaker 1: as a heavyweight prospect, dude, dude, this dude seems like
- 20:19Speaker 1: the real deal. Now. You know, I never like to
- 20:22Speaker 1: get too excited just because you know, I've been at
- 20:28Speaker 1: this for so long as a boxing fan and then
- 20:30Speaker 1: a part time media member. It's like, I try to
- 20:33Speaker 1: keep it in perspective. But this dude looks like he's
- 20:36Speaker 1: got the goods, man, I mean, he really really looks
- 20:40Speaker 1: like he's got the goods. And you know, man, the
- 20:46Speaker 1: left hands like it just everything he was throwing it
- 20:48Speaker 1: just looked good. You know, it really did. So he's
- 20:52Speaker 1: a high level prospect and you know he's got a chance.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Now who is gonna be his like rival? People are
- 21:04Speaker 1: already saying, oh, man, we got to give him a
- 21:06Speaker 1: fight at Usak. Well, I don't know about all that
- 21:09Speaker 1: just yet, right, I don't think you I mean, I
- 21:12Speaker 1: guess there is a lot of money on the table,
- 21:15Speaker 1: but I don't I don't think Usik will fight him,
- 21:18Speaker 1: Not that he's afraid, but just how many fights does
- 21:21Speaker 1: Usak have left? You know past the fight he's got
- 21:26Speaker 1: coming up that I'm kind of excited about. So I
- 21:30Speaker 1: don't know now Dubois obviously if he won, there'll be
- 21:35Speaker 1: a trilogy, but just off of being younger and I
- 21:44Speaker 1: I say, fresher, but I don't know if Daniel Dubois
- 21:47Speaker 1: would be all that fresh because he's kind of gone
- 21:50Speaker 1: through the gamut two and came around the other side
- 21:53Speaker 1: of it. That's what's been really impressive in his career.
- 21:56Speaker 1: But but yeah, I I think that's uh anyway, So yeah, Taylor, man,
- 22:04Speaker 1: hang him up. You had a good run, man, you
- 22:07Speaker 1: had a good run. You beat some solid fighters, you
- 22:10Speaker 1: did become undisputed, and so you know, do your thing,
- 22:16Speaker 1: you know, just because I don't know unless he wants
- 22:22Speaker 1: to do. You don't see this as much nowadays, but
- 22:27Speaker 1: just to get like, you know, an easy win and
- 22:32Speaker 1: then and then go off into the sunset, you know,
- 22:35Speaker 1: maybe maybe, But I don't know. You had the crowd,
- 22:41Speaker 1: You had a level of opponent that if you should
- 22:45Speaker 1: carry on, you should beat because I remember me and
- 22:51Speaker 1: others were saying, hey, let's see what this dude's got
- 22:54Speaker 1: first and foremost, you know, let's see what he's got here.
- 22:57Speaker 1: But even if he does have something here you and
- 23:01Speaker 1: go too crazy, you know what I mean, Like, if
- 23:04Speaker 1: he gets past this dude, all right, cool, let's see
- 23:06Speaker 1: who he faces it, you know after that. So yeah,
- 23:13Speaker 1: as far as some other action, there was a pretty
- 23:17Speaker 1: fun back and forth fight with Lewis Sylvester. Two scorecards
- 23:25Speaker 1: Reade ninety six ninety four. It was a split decision,
- 23:29Speaker 1: so ninety six ninety four the other way for Reese Mold.
- 23:33Speaker 1: That was pretty good. That was a good fight. And
- 23:37Speaker 1: then you had Garcia. You had Willibaldo Garcia and Renee Kliksto,
- 23:45Speaker 1: Calixtoll calyx Too, Kelex Stolle. Anyway, they had a really
- 23:52Speaker 1: fun fight. The first fight really like good ass fight.
- 23:56Speaker 1: It actually ended in a in a draw, and so
- 24:04Speaker 1: you know it basically I think it was it a
- 24:11Speaker 1: vacant title. I think it was now that I go
- 24:16Speaker 1: back to it, that was a good one. I actually
- 24:18Speaker 1: scored that a draw that fight. I thought it was
- 24:22Speaker 1: that close and Garcia did get the split decision one
- 24:28Speaker 1: sixteen one twelve, one fifteen, one thirteen and one fifteen
- 24:31Speaker 1: one thirteen the other way. Wait, yeah, so I thought
- 24:42Speaker 1: it was a draw. You know, it was a competitive fight.
- 24:45Speaker 1: It could have went either way. I wouldn't mind seeing
- 24:49Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind seeing it again. It was it was
- 24:53Speaker 1: close though, Like I said, my scorecard had a draw.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Who else Maxie Hughes. Ah, it was a really slow
- 25:03Speaker 1: fight with Archie Archie Sharp. He won cleanly. That was
- 25:08Speaker 1: on that Harper Zimmerman card. Wait, I think that's someone
- 25:17Speaker 1: sent me something about that, and I think I'm looking
- 25:20Speaker 1: through my messages as we speak. Wait was that fight Artie?
- 25:28Speaker 1: Someone sent me? What do I think about Abel Mendoza?
- 25:32Speaker 1: He's like forty something to know? Uh, he he got
- 25:39Speaker 1: knocked down? Was it twice? With Morales? And then you
- 25:50Speaker 1: know he went on to really take a part really
- 26:00Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I mean, you know, I
- 26:07Speaker 1: it's hard to say because there was There's been a
- 26:10Speaker 1: couple of fighters over the last little last couple of
- 26:13Speaker 1: years that have like a you know, like a shiny
- 26:18Speaker 1: ass record, right Like just there was that Asian fighter.
- 26:23Speaker 1: It was a Filipino. I can't remember. I can't remember
- 26:30Speaker 1: if he was or not. But you know he's undefeated,
- 26:36Speaker 1: you know, and he but who's his best win? Is
- 26:39Speaker 1: my point is what I'm trying to get at. You know,
- 26:44Speaker 1: there's a lot of like you see guys the spot
- 26:47Speaker 1: that have like losing records, and I'm not saying like
- 26:53Speaker 1: like you know, ten and twenty four and thirty four
- 26:56Speaker 1: and thirty six and he you know, I'm not you know,
- 27:01Speaker 1: some guys get developed at different you know, I don't know,
- 27:06Speaker 1: Like it's not like he he's like almost thirty, Like
- 27:10Speaker 1: he's he's late twenties. I can't remember if he's twenty eight,
- 27:12Speaker 1: twenty nine. I think he's twenty nine. I should actually
- 27:15Speaker 1: check twenty eight twenty nine somewhere in there. And so
- 27:19Speaker 1: it's not like he's twenty three or twenty four and
- 27:24Speaker 1: he's had all these fights and he didn't have an
- 27:29Speaker 1: amateur career, so he's just he's catching up this way.
- 27:32Speaker 1: You know, that's a little different. But that's not really
- 27:35Speaker 1: the case. I'm not saying he had, you know, I
- 27:38Speaker 1: actually don't know his amateur career, but it's he's a
- 27:41Speaker 1: little older, and he still hasn't fought anybody like at
- 27:45Speaker 1: a high enough level to get excited about him. So
- 27:51Speaker 1: I've seen highlights, I've seen really one full fight. Well,
- 27:56Speaker 1: I guess in the highlights, I saw the endings of
- 27:59Speaker 1: fights and all that. But you know, it's it's a
- 28:02Speaker 1: nice record, but it really could I do it? No,
- 28:07Speaker 1: But you know, I'm not a boxer, so it is
- 28:12Speaker 1: what it is. Let's put it that way. So I
- 28:17Speaker 1: think some of those two of those messages, I think
- 28:20Speaker 1: from one of the fights at least was from last week,
- 28:24Speaker 1: and I just didn't They're saying I just realized that
- 28:26Speaker 1: that I didn't. I didn't really talk too much about it.
- 28:29Speaker 1: So I think that's where I got a little confused.
- 28:35Speaker 1: So this weekend, PBC has a card on Amazon Caleb
- 28:42Speaker 1: Plant versus Rescinde's or Rescinde is and then Jernal Charlotte
- 28:47Speaker 1: returns against Lamana now Lamada Lamana. So it's been a
- 28:55Speaker 1: long time obviously, like and it's he did fight Benevitez Junior.
- 29:02Speaker 1: Like I mean, it's already been a long time since that.
- 29:06Speaker 1: I'm looking at it right now, scheduled this weekend. Obviously
- 29:10Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, he fought late twenty twenty three and
- 29:15Speaker 1: didn't really look all that great in that fight. And
- 29:19Speaker 1: then prior to that, so you're looking at November two
- 29:22Speaker 1: thousand and three, he hadn't fought since Matiel. June of
- 29:27Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. So he's had one fight in about
- 29:32Speaker 1: four years, which is kind of crazy. Actually, I take
- 29:37Speaker 1: that back, it's not kind of it is so you know,
- 29:43Speaker 1: like saying, oh, this is a pushover, this is a
- 29:45Speaker 1: bullshit fight. I mean it is a pushover, but I
- 29:49Speaker 1: don't think it's a bullshit fight just off of that,
- 29:52Speaker 1: the fact that he just hasn't you know, he just
- 29:57Speaker 1: hasn't fought, And so if he's a i'd rather have
- 30:00Speaker 1: I'd rather him get a camp in. Like usually you
- 30:03Speaker 1: train for a while, right, not necessarily full training camp mode,
- 30:08Speaker 1: but you're training, losing weight, getting the rust off, have
- 30:12Speaker 1: a camp, make a weight, and then fight and then
- 30:16Speaker 1: to be able to you know, have another time where
- 30:19Speaker 1: you can hone in on your skills and then have
- 30:22Speaker 1: another camp and then fight. I just think that is
- 30:24Speaker 1: actually important in this scenario. Like if you want to
- 30:27Speaker 1: see Plant in Charlo, this is probably the best way
- 30:32Speaker 1: to do it. Like I said, I don't always believe
- 30:36Speaker 1: in tune ups. I think some guys it's like stay
- 30:39Speaker 1: busy where you're not busy, or you know, they have
- 30:44Speaker 1: two fights. But I'm okay, if you only fight twice,
- 30:46Speaker 1: but one better be pretty good and one better be
- 30:48Speaker 1: really good, you know, with the evidences on really good
- 30:53Speaker 1: for both if you can do it, you know. So
- 30:56Speaker 1: I don't mind this at all. Now it being a cofeat. Sure,
- 31:01Speaker 1: you could say that sucks, you know, and that's fair.
- 31:06Speaker 1: That is fair, I think so. And someone actually messaged
- 31:11Speaker 1: me that this dude's on like eight eight or nine
- 31:17Speaker 1: winning streak. Actually I should check here, because he got
- 31:20Speaker 1: knocked out in the first round back in twenty twenty
- 31:23Speaker 1: one from Laura. He got beat over ten rounds from
- 31:27Speaker 1: my Brian Mendoza, but he actually won like at least
- 31:35Speaker 1: probably two rounds or something. He won some he did okay,
- 31:41Speaker 1: so let's see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
- 31:46Speaker 1: so nine in a row. But you know, when you
- 31:49Speaker 1: look at it, like like how many good wins are
- 31:54Speaker 1: in there? You know, so at least he's had fights
- 31:58Speaker 1: and he's been somewhat you know, more active than his opponent,
- 32:01Speaker 1: but that's not really saying much. So I think Charlo
- 32:05Speaker 1: should win by knockout. If he's in there trying to
- 32:08Speaker 1: get the rust off and working on some things, you know,
- 32:12Speaker 1: maybe it would go you know, the distance. But if
- 32:16Speaker 1: he's anywhere near even seventy five to eighty percent or something.
- 32:21Speaker 1: He should probably take him out. He should probably take
- 32:24Speaker 1: him out in my opinion. And then you have Caleb Plant.
- 32:29Speaker 1: Like I said, Rascendas is a is an al right fighter.
- 32:32Speaker 1: You know. He he started getting a little hype when
- 32:36Speaker 1: he beat Jared Hurd like probably two years ago something
- 32:41Speaker 1: like that, and he actually wasn't a pretty good like
- 32:46Speaker 1: a competitive fight with Elijah Garcia. I did think, you know,
- 32:51Speaker 1: he had a really good start. How many rounds did
- 32:53Speaker 1: you give before the knockout? Sure, but he had a
- 32:56Speaker 1: really good start to that fight. So I just it's
- 33:00Speaker 1: not And that was at one sixty, right, he lost
- 33:04Speaker 1: the Marcos Hernandez. He's a pretty good fighter. That was
- 33:07Speaker 1: actually that was actually at the Armory. He got knocked
- 33:13Speaker 1: down in that fight. I remember, I think the third
- 33:17Speaker 1: round something like that, early second third, something like that.
- 33:22Speaker 1: So he kind of you know, he had that fight
- 33:25Speaker 1: and then like I said, he beat Herd gave Garcia
- 33:27Speaker 1: a good fight, and you know, now he did have
- 33:32Speaker 1: a fight not long ago at the weight class. But
- 33:40Speaker 1: it's not like it's gonna get you ready for it,
- 33:42Speaker 1: you know. So he is a let me check the
- 33:47Speaker 1: recent odds here. Obviously Plant is a is a big
- 33:52Speaker 1: favorite in the fight, let's see. So yeah, I mean
- 33:58Speaker 1: he's anywhere from plus nine hundred and up and FanDuel
- 34:03Speaker 1: has them plus eleven twenty. So that's even more than
- 34:08Speaker 1: Lamana and Lamana, you know, And I don't think Leamana
- 34:11Speaker 1: is gonna win the fight. He's an eight to one underdog.
- 34:14Speaker 1: Oh some people have him seven to one plus seven hundred.
- 34:18Speaker 1: So yeah, it's like I said, it's basically to build
- 34:24Speaker 1: the fight. Now. It would be nice if they could
- 34:27Speaker 1: keep it off pay per view, but I'm just I
- 34:29Speaker 1: just don't believe that they're going to I just don't.
- 34:34Speaker 1: I don't believe. So so now Hernandez, Hernandez and Kirn Davis,
- 34:44Speaker 1: I like this fight. I think for Yo Neell, was
- 34:51Speaker 1: it Yoanelli something like that. This is a good, like
- 34:56Speaker 1: good step up for him. I think two fights ago
- 35:00Speaker 1: he fought like an unbeaten prospect. This is by far
- 35:05Speaker 1: his toughest test. Now. Davis is not necessarily like when
- 35:12Speaker 1: you you know, he's not necessarily known for his power
- 35:15Speaker 1: by any stretch, but you know he's coming off a
- 35:19Speaker 1: nice win via split decision. So and that's obviously you
- 35:28Speaker 1: know Garcia, so I think this is a great fight.
- 35:34Speaker 1: I really do. I'm really excited about this. In normal circumstances,
- 35:39Speaker 1: this would probably be the co feature. Now it's kind
- 35:46Speaker 1: of interesting because when you look at it, it's not
- 35:50Speaker 1: like a fifty to fifty fight, you know on the
- 35:53Speaker 1: betting onds. It's definitely not that, but it does signat
- 36:00Speaker 1: significant it's a significant step. If I can't talk right now,
- 36:05Speaker 1: let's see uh, Davis plus four hundred, I see a
- 36:09Speaker 1: plus three hundred and thirty three. So I mean it's
- 36:14Speaker 1: it's a good ass fight, and I don't know who's
- 36:16Speaker 1: gonna win for sure. Like I like Hernandez a lot,
- 36:21Speaker 1: but is he ready to step up to this level? Now?
- 36:25Speaker 1: Davis isn't like the highest level, I'm not saying that,
- 36:30Speaker 1: but he's been there, done that with some solid fighters.
- 36:33Speaker 1: So this is a great fight. This This kind of
- 36:38Speaker 1: saves the card for me because this is like, Okay,
- 36:44Speaker 1: I really like this fight, and I'm still eyeballing. I
- 36:47Speaker 1: think value wise, if you can get it, you know,
- 36:52Speaker 1: for the plus numbers I just mentioned, I think it's
- 36:55Speaker 1: got a good value to it. I really do. As
- 37:00Speaker 1: much as I like her nanas and and by the way,
- 37:03Speaker 1: I do think he'll win the fight, but you know,
- 37:08Speaker 1: I don't know. I really don't know. So I'm gonna
- 37:11Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick her Nana's. But I think it's definitely
- 37:14Speaker 1: worth putting some plus money. Now, maybe I have dropped
- 37:23Speaker 1: the ball here and I'm looking on box Wreck on
- 37:28Speaker 1: the card and I'm not seeing a fight that I
- 37:34Speaker 1: dot Vellanzuela and Lucero. Now, I've been busy. My schedule
- 37:41Speaker 1: has been kind of crazy lately, So maybe I just
- 37:44Speaker 1: missed that news. But I was kind of looking forward
- 37:48Speaker 1: to that. That was kind of an interesting fight to me.
- 37:50Speaker 1: I thought Lucero was gonna win. But is that not
- 37:55Speaker 1: on the card now or is it gonna get added
- 37:57Speaker 1: to it? Or what other you do have Mountain on
- 38:01Speaker 1: the card. Obviously you have some other you know fights
- 38:05Speaker 1: in the card, but yeah, fill me in with that.
- 38:10Speaker 1: MJ fights as well this weekend. Uh full Gum, I
- 38:20Speaker 1: think it's full Darius fulgum and uh back to Mirror
- 38:29Speaker 1: zev or something like that. I think I mean that,
- 38:33Speaker 1: let me actually and then Koy and Gayos too, those
- 38:36Speaker 1: are like really let me go back to pro boxing. Odds.
- 38:40Speaker 1: That's the right check all the odds because it gives
- 38:42Speaker 1: you a variety of a variety of Look, yeah, I
- 38:47Speaker 1: mean that is Pickham type stuff. Minus So there's a
- 38:51Speaker 1: plus one hundred, there's a plus one ten plus one
- 38:54Speaker 1: oh five on Darius. But I also see a minus
- 38:57Speaker 1: one o four and a minus one thirty for Bektimir.
- 39:01Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with Guyos as a minor upset.
- 39:06Speaker 1: And the highest I see is plus one forty. I
- 39:12Speaker 1: got it for like plus one twenty five. I see
- 39:15Speaker 1: some others have it plus one ten. The plus one
- 39:19Speaker 1: forty is actually bet way so and man, this is
- 39:28Speaker 1: uh like, this is kind of an underrated a little
- 39:34Speaker 1: bit of an underrated weekend in my opinion. I think
- 39:42Speaker 1: I think that it'll be one of those weekends where,
- 39:45Speaker 1: like I said, I'm not necessarily thinking it's an awesome,
- 39:50Speaker 1: awesome weekend or something like that, but it's I don't know,
- 39:56Speaker 1: there's just something about I just think I think we're
- 40:01Speaker 1: gonna get some really good fights. Man. And and I
- 40:04Speaker 1: also mentioned, uh, tonight, it is tonight, right, it's not tomorrow.
- 40:11Speaker 1: I think it's tonight. Yeah, it's tonight. The nunyaz Duardo Nunez,
- 40:18Speaker 1: and uh, I think it's Rick Ischi Rick is she
- 40:24Speaker 1: I can't remember how to say that, but that that's
- 40:27Speaker 1: a good ass fight. I like Nunaz, but dude, that
- 40:30Speaker 1: is gonna be entertaining as hell, and it's it's it's
- 40:35Speaker 1: not a fifty to fifty, but it's fucking pretty close. Man.
- 40:39Speaker 1: Plus one eighty eight plus two oh five is like
- 40:43Speaker 1: the highest one. So in boxing, if you're two hundred down,
- 40:46Speaker 1: that's it's pretty close fight. There's also a fight with Yamamoto.
- 40:55Speaker 1: I think he'll win, but that's a close ass fight too.
- 40:58Speaker 1: The the under dogs a plus one twenty plus one fifty,
- 41:02Speaker 1: So you know, I like what I see out of
- 41:06Speaker 1: that card tonight. And that's gonna be on the zone. Yeah,
- 41:11Speaker 1: that'll be on the zone, so we'll see. Oh shoot,
- 41:23Speaker 1: what the hell's going on with the Sorry, I'm getting
- 41:27Speaker 1: a little distracted of getting this damn message. It's amazing,
- 41:33Speaker 1: like how many bullshit spam messages are out there now.
- 41:38Speaker 1: It's just uh and I could you know, I'm not
- 41:43Speaker 1: young by any stretch of imagination, but I can just
- 41:46Speaker 1: see how older people fall for these scams. Dude. I mean,
- 41:52Speaker 1: I could definitely see how people It's it's tough, so
- 42:00Speaker 1: you know, Beck is coming off of the fight with
- 42:03Speaker 1: Stevens late last fall is a split decision, and he
- 42:11Speaker 1: you know, he has fought pretty well since taking that
- 42:18Speaker 1: that lost to Risotto, which is very long ago now,
- 42:22Speaker 1: you know. But yeah, I think this is a I
- 42:26Speaker 1: think this is a really close fight, and I am
- 42:29Speaker 1: gonna go I don't know, I'm gonna go with Darius.
- 42:33Speaker 1: I'm going Darius on my pick. So yeah, like I said,
- 42:38Speaker 1: the weekend is kind of it doesn't look great or whatever,
- 42:44Speaker 1: you know, but Eduardo Nunez is always fun to watch
- 42:50Speaker 1: some really close fights with Kaway and Guyos and Beck
- 42:53Speaker 1: and Darius, and you know, seeing I gotta see what's
- 42:59Speaker 1: up that looseerro and Vealezuela. I think I dropped the
- 43:02Speaker 1: ball on that. But Hernandez like it getting tested for
- 43:05Speaker 1: his So it's kind of like mid level and prospect
- 43:09Speaker 1: trying to turn contender type weekend. I guess it's the
- 43:14Speaker 1: way I described that. So I recently saw that uh
- 43:23Speaker 1: AJ Well, first I saw this report that it was
- 43:28Speaker 1: three fight deal with uh for re hot season. But
- 43:33Speaker 1: now Eddie Hearn, according to Boxing Scenes, said it's a
- 43:38Speaker 1: two fight deal and that he basically uh there had
- 43:44Speaker 1: been talked about the rematch with du Bois, but Joshua's
- 43:47Speaker 1: that chose to have surgery on his injured elbow and
- 43:50Speaker 1: that will he basically returned to full training in about
- 43:53Speaker 1: six weeks and that well that was yeah, okay, so yeah,
- 43:57Speaker 1: that that and no smoke boxing. He said, three fight deal.
- 44:02Speaker 1: Eddie said, no, that's not true. We're actually discussing a
- 44:05Speaker 1: two fight deal. We've been doing that basically since the
- 44:10Speaker 1: Canelo Skull night. We had our meeting, and then that's
- 44:15Speaker 1: the plan. Really want to box sometime this year October, November, December.
- 44:20Speaker 1: He said he hearn wants to see what happens in
- 44:24Speaker 1: the Usik Daniel debau, both of them beating him Joshua
- 44:28Speaker 1: before confirming anything Tyson Fury, you know, with something they're
- 44:33Speaker 1: looking at, see what happens with Fury, and if we
- 44:37Speaker 1: don't fight, those guys will fight, then maybe we'll follow
- 44:40Speaker 1: one of those guys next year. So you know, the
- 44:44Speaker 1: Dubois Usic like, I definitely don't want to see another
- 44:47Speaker 1: Usik fight because we've already done that. You know, at
- 44:51Speaker 1: least with Dubois it's like someone's getting knocked out, I guess,
- 45:02Speaker 1: but we can't not kind of. We saw that. We
- 45:04Speaker 1: already saw that. So and I don't think it's like dude,
- 45:08Speaker 1: AJ was winning to a knockout. You know, it wasn't
- 45:12Speaker 1: just a one sided He got caught with a punch
- 45:15Speaker 1: or something, you know. So anyway, so yeah, that that,
- 45:24Speaker 1: and I think it's from Japan. Yeah, it's from Japan
- 45:28Speaker 1: with Sugar Nunez on his own Jim CROSSSS. This is
- 45:33Speaker 1: a nice midweek treat on the treat on his own.
- 45:36Speaker 1: It's one of those matchups where it's impossible for it
- 45:39Speaker 1: not to be entertaining. Very much looking forward to it. Yes,
- 45:42Speaker 1: I cannot watch it live, but later tonight I will
- 45:44Speaker 1: be watching it. Do let's see here some new Oh
- 45:52Speaker 1: and then Josh Taylor had a tweet. I would just
- 45:54Speaker 1: like to apologize to all my fans last night for
- 45:57Speaker 1: leaving the ring before having an interview, before taking the time.
- 46:00Speaker 1: I'm to thank all for showing up and showing out,
- 46:03Speaker 1: you know you always have over the last ten years.
- 46:07Speaker 1: I'm headed to the changing room because I did not
- 46:09Speaker 1: want to say something in the heat of the moment,
- 46:12Speaker 1: and then I'd rather regret on live TV. So he
- 46:15Speaker 1: basically thought he wanted to fight and just off his look.
- 46:19Speaker 1: You know, he looked like he, you know, like, what
- 46:23Speaker 1: the hell you know? I don't know, you know, I
- 46:26Speaker 1: thought I won the fight, and it was close. It
- 46:28Speaker 1: was close. So I saw this from brunch boxing. Matthew Brown.
- 46:36Speaker 1: Lester Martinez was tabbed as a replacement opponent for Terrence
- 46:40Speaker 1: Crawford in September, you know, assuming something like a backup
- 46:44Speaker 1: plan basically, So I mean, it's a good backup plan.
- 46:52Speaker 1: Here's Richard Richard Safer on Canelo and Crawford, and they
- 46:56Speaker 1: have this quote over rich Schaeffer and they have him
- 47:01Speaker 1: sitting right next to or standing right next to Canelo.
- 47:04Speaker 1: It's Crawford Canelo, and he's sitting there right next to Canelo.
- 47:11Speaker 1: He was saying that Crawford, Crawford and Canelo and Crawford's
- 47:18Speaker 1: going to be bigger than Mayweather and pack Yaw. And
- 47:21Speaker 1: I get it. He is a promoter, he's been around
- 47:24Speaker 1: a long time. But come on, dude, he said, with Mayweather,
- 47:28Speaker 1: pacyall people hyped it up. It was a big success financially,
- 47:32Speaker 1: But I think this can equal as big as success
- 47:35Speaker 1: in that regard, if not bigger. Now, could you make
- 47:39Speaker 1: an argument if they put it on Netflix that it
- 47:42Speaker 1: would reach more of an audience because it's it's not
- 47:48Speaker 1: pay per view. I mean, if over four million people
- 47:54Speaker 1: bought it, imagine how many people stream Dayweather pack yew
- 47:58Speaker 1: here and across the world. So that's just silly and
- 48:02Speaker 1: for being honest, I mean, come on, but you know,
- 48:09Speaker 1: Jim Cross also tweeted not long ago today, actually Sugarnonia
- 48:14Speaker 1: is one of the most musty TV fighter of all
- 48:17Speaker 1: all of boxing. I have to appreciate a fighter who
- 48:22Speaker 1: is all gas, no breaks and looking for a ko
- 48:25Speaker 1: his opponent with every shot he does load up. Okay,
- 48:28Speaker 1: So so yesterday, I think it was last night Turkey
- 48:36Speaker 1: fired me. That's what Tayo Femal Lopez said. I almost said,
- 48:45Speaker 1: lame ass. This kind of just came out. He said
- 48:47Speaker 1: in a tweeted, I just got fired. Guys. However, before
- 48:50Speaker 1: things get better, bad things must happen. Resurrection, right, And
- 48:57Speaker 1: he had this tweet yesterday a dick tater and then
- 49:02Speaker 1: he had Turkey. You know, he added Turkey to it,
- 49:08Speaker 1: and Turkey said, maturity is to realize most things don't
- 49:11Speaker 1: deserve a reaction. And so I don't know, man. You know.
- 49:19Speaker 1: He also said that Boots declined to fight with him.
- 49:25Speaker 1: He said, Boots is decline to fight against me at
- 49:29Speaker 1: one seven. His excellency Turkey is upset things that Eddie Hearn. Oh,
- 49:38Speaker 1: he's upset with this because Eddie Hearn agreed to the
- 49:40Speaker 1: fight for later this year, which I'm not sure how
- 49:44Speaker 1: Eddie Hearn's agreeing to it because the fighter agrees to
- 49:47Speaker 1: do it as well. You know, there is something to
- 49:50Speaker 1: be said about that. The rumor is I've seen that
- 49:53Speaker 1: multiple I don't know if I call him sources, but
- 49:56Speaker 1: I've seen it out there. I haven't seen a trusted
- 50:03Speaker 1: source yet, but then I haven't looked either. So don't
- 50:06Speaker 1: don't get mad at me if you tweeted something and
- 50:09Speaker 1: I just didn't see it. Okay, But I'm here in
- 50:13Speaker 1: Yoennis uh Tayez against Boots for the Intern Championship in
- 50:21Speaker 1: WBA because Charlo Jermeal Charlow is the in recess and
- 50:26Speaker 1: you have Crawford as the current champ. So Boots is
- 50:30Speaker 1: gonna go up to fifty four to fight Yoennis instead
- 50:35Speaker 1: of fighting Tale, Femo or Virgil. I mean, if that's true,
- 50:42Speaker 1: then maybe the rumors of Boots, you know, signing with
- 50:47Speaker 1: the PBC, not just being on their cards but actually signed.
- 50:51Speaker 1: Maybe that is true. Then if that's the case, I
- 50:55Speaker 1: don't know, because that that seems kind of funky that
- 50:59Speaker 1: like you think that he just want to try to
- 51:03Speaker 1: go for a unification then, But I don't know, I
- 51:09Speaker 1: really don't know. Here's Martin from New Age Boxing UK.
- 51:14Speaker 1: Money laundering in the sport of boxing and Josh Taylor's
- 51:18Speaker 1: career have such big parallels. Both peaked around twenty twenty
- 51:24Speaker 1: one and have struggled to achieve the same results. Since
- 51:27Speaker 1: that's an interesting point. Adam from sm Boxing I've been
- 51:31Speaker 1: writing about boxing for fourteen years and Moses Etimo I've
- 51:38Speaker 1: heard it said three different ways. Ittoma Tuma A Tuma
- 51:45Speaker 1: is the basically said he is the best heavyweight process
- 51:48Speaker 1: he's seen in that time. We will see what the
- 51:50Speaker 1: future holds. But the tools are off the charts. Yeah,
- 51:56Speaker 1: here's Curtis Boxing. The UK has has a pretty solid
- 51:59Speaker 1: over the past month. Benu Bank, Fisher, Allen Towns, some
- 52:05Speaker 1: Kakachian wood. Yeah, all delivered when done right, far better
- 52:11Speaker 1: than any deserved Saudi show or ridiculous times Square Fen
- 52:15Speaker 1: or desert. So this is Naji. This is no shade
- 52:18Speaker 1: to Barrios, but I hope Pakyo beats him so he
- 52:20Speaker 1: can get Spence Pacy and Cowboy Stadium. Yeah, okay, here's
- 52:26Speaker 1: some boxing Twitter stuff that just makes you laugh. Prime
- 52:31Speaker 1: Tank would would put pretty boy Floyd to sleep. I
- 52:35Speaker 1: repeated again, Prime Tank, So are you saying he's no
- 52:40Speaker 1: longer in his prime? Is that what you're saying? But
- 52:43Speaker 1: to say he would put so he didn't put Lamont
- 52:49Speaker 1: Roach to sleep because he wasn't in his prime? Is
- 52:53Speaker 1: that what you're telling me? Prime Tank would sleep basically
- 52:57Speaker 1: Floyd these this is just oh boxing Twitter. I saw
- 53:02Speaker 1: this first from brunch boxing raus uh Kiro against Victor Rodriguez. Sorry,
- 53:14Speaker 1: my my thing was the way there, all right, And
- 53:17Speaker 1: that's on the Most Valuable Promotions and Golden BOYD Promotion card,
- 53:22Speaker 1: you know the card. Also, this is interesting here Tevin
- 53:26Speaker 1: Farmer getting a chance to fight Floyd Scholfield on that
- 53:30Speaker 1: same card and Anaheim. That's that. I really like that fight. Okay,
- 53:37Speaker 1: So going back to the tale Fema, I just realized
- 53:40Speaker 1: that I didn't finish that up. So basically in and
- 53:45Speaker 1: Ta Femo, you know, deleted his dictator thing his tweet.
- 53:52Speaker 1: It's weird though, because so the Boots thing didn't happen,
- 53:56Speaker 1: even though we were told that that was gonna be
- 53:59Speaker 1: next and then and then and then Tao and Devin
- 54:04Speaker 1: had agreed, you know, agreed, not signed, but agreed to
- 54:10Speaker 1: a fight. Rehod its season August sixteenth at a catchway
- 54:16Speaker 1: to one forty five. But now because of Tayo female
- 54:20Speaker 1: tweeting that that's in jeopardy. So if I mean, what
- 54:25Speaker 1: if he agreed to a fight, did did the money
- 54:28Speaker 1: switch up? Like if you have an issue with the
- 54:31Speaker 1: fight that you supposedly according to three sources on Dan
- 54:35Speaker 1: Rafael's what I saw just a second ago, actually somebody
- 54:38Speaker 1: sent it to me. So you're willing to fight Boots
- 54:45Speaker 1: and then you don't have to go up to the
- 54:46Speaker 1: full one forty seven. You go up one forty five
- 54:49Speaker 1: and fight Haney, But then you went on a did
- 54:53Speaker 1: you go on a tweet? Did you you know, go
- 54:56Speaker 1: did you get mad? I don't understand what happened there,
- 54:59Speaker 1: Like did the money change? Because if the money changed,
- 55:04Speaker 1: you could at least say that, hey, I'd fight Hany,
- 55:07Speaker 1: But they pulled a fast one on me, you know,
- 55:13Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, then he deletes the tweets,
- 55:15Speaker 1: so is he's still trying to get the fight, so
- 55:17Speaker 1: we have a fight with Hanny and Lopez or we don't.
- 55:21Speaker 1: I don't know. So it's it's it's kind of weird.
- 55:28Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know what to tell you. Man,
- 55:31Speaker 1: We'll see if you know, A sorry does it. Let's
- 55:36Speaker 1: see what happens there. I don't know, man, what I
- 55:42Speaker 1: do know though, unless something crazy happens, which it shouldn't,
- 55:49Speaker 1: I should be I shouldn't even say this. I should
- 55:52Speaker 1: be able to do the show next Tuesday. My schedule
- 55:56Speaker 1: at this point is clean. I may have to do
- 55:59Speaker 1: a podcast right before it, but like, if there's a
- 56:02Speaker 1: Game seven, I'll probably like on Monday. If that knicks
- 56:06Speaker 1: Indies goes the whole way, it'd be Monday night. So
- 56:11Speaker 1: maybe I would do the show a day before and
- 56:13Speaker 1: then do the NBA show the next day. I don't know.
- 56:15Speaker 1: But either way, whether it's I'm assuming it'll be Tuesday,
- 56:21Speaker 1: but either way, it won't be Wednesday or Thursday. That's
- 56:24Speaker 1: the goal. Okay. Anyway, thanks for hanging with me with
- 56:28Speaker 1: my messed up schedule right now. Enjoy the fights. Like
- 56:32Speaker 1: I said, starting tonight, there is some underrated fights going
- 56:36Speaker 1: on that will recap and talk through, and it looks
- 56:40Speaker 1: like on the low, a really good week and weekend
- 56:44Speaker 1: of boxing. Anyway, I'm out of here.
