Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Hey, what a boxing fans. This is the Rope of
- 0:05Speaker 1: Dope radio podcast. I am your host, Chris Carlson. We
- 0:08Speaker 1: are live on a Wednesday afternoon. I hope everybody's doing okay.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Obviously we're gonna start with some recap. Taji had to
- 0:22Speaker 1: come from behind on the scorecards, so we'll lead with that.
- 0:26Speaker 1: As far as recap, I did you know hear a
- 0:31Speaker 1: little bit about the stoppage. I'll give my thoughts on that,
- 0:36Speaker 1: not here, a little bit, but I saw some people
- 0:41Speaker 1: either being just fine with it or being critical of it,
- 0:44Speaker 1: so I'll give my take there. And then you know,
- 0:48Speaker 1: we also had a ball and Dope penny which turned
- 0:53Speaker 1: out to be kind of an interesting fight. I would
- 0:56Speaker 1: have to say. We also have a designed car to
- 1:00Speaker 1: Amma Williams getting the job done. So well, we'll talk
- 1:03Speaker 1: about what happened from last week. Life got in the way,
- 1:09Speaker 1: so I wasn't able to do a show last night.
- 1:11Speaker 1: John wasn't able to do it either, so I just
- 1:15Speaker 1: figured let's let's let's just do it today. Hopefully he'll
- 1:19Speaker 1: be back next week. This weekend, we have fights that
- 1:24Speaker 1: makes sense to an extent, not every fight, but kind
- 1:28Speaker 1: of makes sense where they're at in their career. Now,
- 1:32Speaker 1: I kind of judge each fight in each fighter, you know,
- 1:37Speaker 1: just just when I said where they're at in their career,
- 1:39Speaker 1: does it make sense for where they're at, And a
- 1:42Speaker 1: lot of these fights I think do. So we'll be
- 1:45Speaker 1: breaking down and predicting some of the Amazon card with
- 1:49Speaker 1: the return of Sebastian Fandora Cambosis returns on his owne
- 1:56Speaker 1: and then an interesting fight that got postponed from per
- 2:01Speaker 1: with Lester Martin and Joshawn James. And there's an undercard
- 2:06Speaker 1: fight that I think is very interesting as well. So
- 2:10Speaker 1: it's a busy fight weekend basically on the mid level,
- 2:15Speaker 1: and so we'll definitely you know, preview and predict that.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Like I said, there is some good news. It sounds
- 2:22Speaker 1: like for Gervonte Davis and Lamont Roach the rematch, which
- 2:28Speaker 1: I'm very happy to hear about. I'll give my thoughts
- 2:32Speaker 1: on the Canelo undercard. Those fights did get announced. We
- 2:36Speaker 1: also recently just got the Connor ben Chris you Bank Jr.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Undercard and that undercard, the ben U Bank Junior, is
- 2:50Speaker 1: a little underwhelming as far as like another like big
- 2:58Speaker 1: fight per se. But on the flip side, of it.
- 3:04Speaker 1: They are equally matched. So we'll get in there and
- 3:10Speaker 1: talk about that. And then we did well. First of all,
- 3:13Speaker 1: Turkey was kind of doing mop up duty. He came
- 3:17Speaker 1: out like, well, actually, what had happened was I was
- 3:22Speaker 1: just telling a joke about Alcatraz, brom. Do you know
- 3:26Speaker 1: that not many people have escaped for me? You know,
- 3:29Speaker 1: he started to try to play it off a little bit.
- 3:32Speaker 1: He still says that, you know, he's gonna have ties
- 3:36Speaker 1: to the industry, and the industry will operate how the
- 3:38Speaker 1: industry operates, and him and TKO that's just different, man,
- 3:44Speaker 1: don't worry about that. It was kind of kind of strange.
- 3:50Speaker 1: And we also from boxing scene just got a little
- 3:55Speaker 1: pay structure detail from the TKO slash Turkey Sadi thing,
- 4:02Speaker 1: and you know, we know that they're going to have
- 4:04Speaker 1: their own belt or at least attend to. Whether they
- 4:08Speaker 1: get away with it, we'll see. And then the pay
- 4:14Speaker 1: structure was based off the rankings. But you know, from
- 4:17Speaker 1: the jump, you know, I do like, what are the rankings?
- 4:23Speaker 1: Who who's doing the rankings? And then how important is
- 4:27Speaker 1: because I don't know it kind of at first glance,
- 4:31Speaker 1: it kind of gives the well, it's just gonna be
- 4:34Speaker 1: another belt and they won't they won't take percentages off
- 4:38Speaker 1: your purse. You know, it's kind of weird, you know,
- 4:43Speaker 1: can they accomplish you know, the best quote unquote the
- 4:48Speaker 1: best fighting the best under what they're talking about. So
- 4:53Speaker 1: we'll talk about that a little bit more later in
- 4:57Speaker 1: the show. It's not gonna be a super long show
- 5:00Speaker 1: since I'm writing solo. So yeah, well we'll definitely get
- 5:04Speaker 1: into it. If it's your first time listening to the

- 6:34Speaker 1: to you know, the Taragi fight was quite quite some
- 6:38Speaker 1: time ago now, so we might as well kind of
- 6:42Speaker 1: get into that one, because that was the best fight.
- 6:47Speaker 1: I mean, that was a great fight. Stylistically, I thought
- 6:50Speaker 1: it'd be really good, and like I mentioned, those a
- 6:54Speaker 1: lot of those quadruple triple headers are just matched really well,
- 6:59Speaker 1: no matter what the I'd say, I mean, you know,
- 7:02Speaker 1: relatively speaking, of course, But that was I mean, that
- 7:07Speaker 1: was a damn good fight. In AKUI I knew he
- 7:12Speaker 1: was solid, you know, and I knew he had some skills,
- 7:15Speaker 1: and I knew he had some power, but I didn't
- 7:18Speaker 1: think he'd be leading going in to the twelfth round,
- 7:23Speaker 1: especially officially anyway, right, So, and I say that not
- 7:28Speaker 1: to you know, say you get a bunch of horrible
- 7:30Speaker 1: decisions in Japan because you get him all over the place.
- 7:33Speaker 1: I'm saying, you know it, just I just didn't. It's
- 7:37Speaker 1: nice that actually that was the case, because I do
- 7:40Speaker 1: believe he was one of the fight the first two rounds.
- 7:44Speaker 1: First round I thought was pretty close. But round two,
- 7:49Speaker 1: you know, you had Taraji like landing his jab mostly
- 7:55Speaker 1: he got to the body a little bit, but the
- 7:58Speaker 1: jab and the right hands to the boy in the
- 8:00Speaker 1: head for a koji definitely won the second round. Third round,
- 8:07Speaker 1: gave it to a koji as well. His right hooks
- 8:11Speaker 1: just the combinations were backing Taraji up. Midway through, he
- 8:16Speaker 1: landed some really nice combos. And the fourth round was competitive.
- 8:21Speaker 1: I thought Taraji did some really good work to the
- 8:24Speaker 1: body early in that round. A Koji was landing clean
- 8:30Speaker 1: right hands too, So that was that was pretty competitive.
- 8:33Speaker 1: That could have went either way in my opinion. I
- 8:36Speaker 1: gave the fifth round and man, the fighters were just
- 8:39Speaker 1: trading right hands, and I gave it to a kogi
- 8:43Speaker 1: because I thought he was getting better of those exchanges.
- 8:47Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty clear, and like I said,
- 8:50Speaker 1: he was backing up Taraji. Now Taraji kind of settled
- 8:55Speaker 1: in all the way and started winning some rounds. I
- 8:58Speaker 1: gave him the sixth because of his body punchings and
- 9:01Speaker 1: his right hand, whether that was straight or uppercut, his
- 9:04Speaker 1: right hand was landing, and don't get me wrong, you know,
- 9:09Speaker 1: in all these rounds both fighters were landing. A Koji
- 9:11Speaker 1: was landing, you know, multiple really nice right hands. In
- 9:14Speaker 1: that sixth round, Taraji was able to start to apply
- 9:19Speaker 1: pressure and kind of be on the move. But in
- 9:21Speaker 1: the seventh he was definitely applying some good pressure, landing
- 9:25Speaker 1: a lot of clean shots. There was a late right
- 9:27Speaker 1: hand by a Koji, but I didn't think it was
- 9:32Speaker 1: enough to sway the round, so I gave that to Taraji.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Eighth round, very close man early and late. He saw
- 9:39Speaker 1: a Koji having a lot of success, but Taraji did
- 9:43Speaker 1: the jab in the right hands, but he closed a
- 9:46Speaker 1: little stronger. So that was kind of like the fourth
- 9:49Speaker 1: for me. It was kind of like, well, it could
- 9:52Speaker 1: have went either way. I gave it to Taraji, but
- 9:53Speaker 1: it could have went either way. Great back and forth round,
- 9:57Speaker 1: like many of them, were in the ninth. I gave
- 9:59Speaker 1: the ninth in the tenth to a kogi, and you
- 10:04Speaker 1: saw Taraji on the move more and not as effectively
- 10:09Speaker 1: on the move, but the hooks in the right hands,
- 10:13Speaker 1: you know. I mean the eleventh round was just another
- 10:17Speaker 1: great round, just give and take back and forth. Twelfth
- 10:21Speaker 1: round comes out Taraji, you know, comes out right off
- 10:27Speaker 1: the bell with his hair on fire, right hand to
- 10:30Speaker 1: the head, then to the body. Great exchanges mid round,
- 10:36Speaker 1: several hard shots land and you could see a Koji
- 10:41Speaker 1: had like a kuji had like a pretty bad cut
- 10:45Speaker 1: on his lip. But after several hard shots, Koji was
- 10:53Speaker 1: definitely like hurt and he was affected, no doubt. But
- 10:59Speaker 1: I got I didn't think they should have stopped this fight. Now,
- 11:05Speaker 1: maybe a couple more combos and that would have done
- 11:07Speaker 1: it anyway. You know, I'm definitely not taking that out
- 11:12Speaker 1: of it, but I didn't think they should have stopped
- 11:16Speaker 1: that fight. I'll just say I did not think they
- 11:19Speaker 1: should have stopped that fight. I thought he could have.
- 11:24Speaker 1: I don't know. Some people were saying, well, he's not
- 11:26Speaker 1: making a big display about it, but you know, you
- 11:31Speaker 1: can't necessity, Like I've said that plenty of times right.
- 11:35Speaker 1: But if you look at this is in Japan, okay,
- 11:39Speaker 1: and people's demeanor, the way they expressed themselves, not just
- 11:45Speaker 1: in the crowd, but the you know, the fighters themselves,
- 11:50Speaker 1: like it is different. So you know, they were saying
- 11:55Speaker 1: he was down and all that on his knees, and man,
- 11:59Speaker 1: he is just you know, completely like exhausted or whatever
- 12:03Speaker 1: and crumbling. And I didn't I mean, he probably was
- 12:07Speaker 1: all that, you know, but I think he was also devastated,
- 12:10Speaker 1: you know. So I got more out of the body
- 12:13Speaker 1: read that he was devastated. And so I think if
- 12:19Speaker 1: it would have happened in a lot of other countries,
- 12:22Speaker 1: and maybe it would involve different fighters, or maybe he
- 12:25Speaker 1: would you know, I don't I don't know how he
- 12:28Speaker 1: would react to a different country. But I don't know
- 12:32Speaker 1: if you can use that same thing that we use
- 12:35Speaker 1: here in the States a lot, because I've said it
- 12:38Speaker 1: plenty of times, I'll openly admit it that, hey, man,
- 12:41Speaker 1: he didn't put up a fight. He didn't say, he
- 12:43Speaker 1: didn't say it didn't look like he was bothered by
- 12:46Speaker 1: the fight stopping, you know, But to me, he looked,
- 12:50Speaker 1: you know, devastated, And so I did think it was
- 12:53Speaker 1: early and I was a little surprised I didn't get
- 12:58Speaker 1: I didn't see a little bit more of that on
- 13:00Speaker 1: boxing Twitter. Then again, though, was it a full like
- 13:07Speaker 1: it was still early in the morning, and I didn't
- 13:11Speaker 1: watch it early in the morning, but I did try
- 13:13Speaker 1: to kind of go my timeline kind of felt like
- 13:16Speaker 1: it was still early in the morning, so like based
- 13:20Speaker 1: off the time and the tweets and all that. So
- 13:22Speaker 1: I don't know, I just didn't. I think it has
- 13:25Speaker 1: to do with the timeframe, but I didn't see I
- 13:29Speaker 1: didn't see like an outpoor either way beyond can sure,
- 13:33Speaker 1: you know, being down on the cards and scoring you know,
- 13:38Speaker 1: the knockout. So it was a phenomenal fight just off
- 13:42Speaker 1: the ending, though I will say that I do. I
- 13:46Speaker 1: do think, you know, they should run it back. I
- 13:51Speaker 1: just I think that's a given, you know. So that
- 13:55Speaker 1: was a that was a great fight, and like I said,
- 13:58Speaker 1: many people saying that's their fight of the year, I
- 14:00Speaker 1: don't have an argument for that, you know, I think
- 14:03Speaker 1: that's fair. I think that's more than fair. It was
- 14:05Speaker 1: a damn good fight. And you know, sometimes the lower
- 14:08Speaker 1: divisions they won't get as much credit, but these dudes
- 14:13Speaker 1: were laying the leather to go with an old school
- 14:17Speaker 1: the type of reference like they were getting it in, dude.
- 14:21Speaker 1: So I do think it is the fight of the year.
- 14:25Speaker 1: It was a great battle, though I just like I said,
- 14:28Speaker 1: I thought it was a little early. Anytime you make
- 14:31Speaker 1: anytime you give your opinion on this stuff, you're not
- 14:33Speaker 1: in the ring. I'm not in the ring. We really
- 14:36Speaker 1: don't know, but to me it looked a little little
- 14:39Speaker 1: earl Renee. Santiago pulled off a nice upset pretty cleanly
- 14:46Speaker 1: on the cards on that. And then there was a
- 14:51Speaker 1: fight that I didn't agree with the scorecards. Cayogucci I
- 15:00Speaker 1: thought won that fight. I'm not saying he'd won it
- 15:02Speaker 1: by a mile, right, but one fourteen one thirteen won
- 15:08Speaker 1: seventeen one ten and one eighteen one o nine. I
- 15:13Speaker 1: just don't And I know the eleventh round was all
- 15:16Speaker 1: ten eight, you know, I get that part. But I
- 15:19Speaker 1: had him winning seven of five and maybe a draw.
- 15:25Speaker 1: But no, I did not say I thought Heroto Kyaguchi
- 15:30Speaker 1: won that fight. They need to run that back. So
- 15:35Speaker 1: I did think that that was I had an issue
- 15:37Speaker 1: with that. I definitely had an issue with that now,
- 15:41Speaker 1: and I thought it was seven five clean. You know
- 15:43Speaker 1: what I mean, because there is that whole seven. Once
- 15:46Speaker 1: you score at seven to five, you know it could
- 15:49Speaker 1: go either way then seven to five or you the guy.
- 15:51Speaker 1: I didn't see it that way. To be honest with you,
- 15:53Speaker 1: I do believe there's plenty of fights and examples like that.
- 15:59Speaker 1: I just didn't think that was a good example of
- 16:01Speaker 1: one that That's kind of what I got out of that.
- 16:06Speaker 1: So yeah, uh do do do Oh, We'll go to
- 16:11Speaker 1: nick Ball against uh t J do Henny do Henny
- 16:20Speaker 1: do Henny? You know, to Henny, especially early in fights,
- 16:26Speaker 1: but just in general, his style, especially for a shorter
- 16:30Speaker 1: guy like Ball, it's it is tough to deal with.
- 16:34Speaker 1: It is tough to deal with. But right away, let's
- 16:39Speaker 1: just deal with what happened at the end of the
- 16:41Speaker 1: first round, right I gave you Henny the round. I
- 16:47Speaker 1: just thought he was laying in, you know, some decent jabs,
- 16:49Speaker 1: he was moving and and you know, he just was
- 16:52Speaker 1: making it hard on nick Ball. Now, a lot of
- 16:56Speaker 1: I saw some several people say that nick Ball, and
- 17:04Speaker 1: I think several people that know better personally that nick
- 17:08Speaker 1: Ball should have been disqualified no if aans or butts
- 17:12Speaker 1: because he did kick him right and that That's the
- 17:15Speaker 1: only thing I'll say is you can get away with
- 17:17Speaker 1: a lot. But on average, if you start kicking people
- 17:20Speaker 1: in boxing, I do think that increases the chances that
- 17:25Speaker 1: you could get disqualified. I will say that. But if
- 17:30Speaker 1: you're going to disqualify someone for kicking, then wouldn't you
- 17:34Speaker 1: disqualify to Henny for choking? Because it did look like
- 17:39Speaker 1: he had a pretty decent choke hold on him, and
- 17:44Speaker 1: it was it did tight it appeared to be tightening
- 17:48Speaker 1: up on the next sum. I'm not saying he choked
- 17:51Speaker 1: him out. I did wrestle. I know a thing or
- 17:54Speaker 1: two about a choke hold, but what I you know,
- 17:57Speaker 1: the wrestling I was doing it was illegal that yeah,
- 18:00Speaker 1: you have an arm in but I just so the
- 18:07Speaker 1: kick thing. You know, on one hand, you're like, dude,
- 18:10Speaker 1: what are you kicking him for? You know, or needing him,
- 18:12Speaker 1: kicking him anything like that. On the other thing, on
- 18:15Speaker 1: the other hand, when you look at it from a
- 18:18Speaker 1: strategic all right, I'll get you back, de Henny's a mover.
- 18:22Speaker 1: So we've seen plenty of people, you know, attack an
- 18:28Speaker 1: outside fighter's hip instead of a body shot, right, So
- 18:33Speaker 1: maybe that's what was going through his head, but he
- 18:37Speaker 1: did have a hold of him in an illegal hold too,
- 18:41Speaker 1: So the whole DQ right away point deducted. That's fine.
- 18:46Speaker 1: But I also think, like if you look at the replay,
- 18:51Speaker 1: he's got a decent choke hold on him. He really does.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm not saying he was a second
- 18:57Speaker 1: away from tapping out, but I don't know. It was
- 19:02Speaker 1: just weird anyway. Dohenny at range, jabbing, going to the body,
- 19:11Speaker 1: clowning him, kind of doing the uh, you know, the
- 19:16Speaker 1: the r the RJJ, the Roy Jones junior ish type movement,
- 19:23Speaker 1: kind of like I said, just kind of clowning them.
- 19:27Speaker 1: I did think in the third round, ball was able
- 19:30Speaker 1: to close the distance some and a looping almost like
- 19:36Speaker 1: roundhouse left hook on the temple definitely buzzed him, but
- 19:41Speaker 1: ball was still missing too much. But I think that
- 19:44Speaker 1: shot alone won the one the third round, fourth round,
- 19:47Speaker 1: I gave it right back to Dohenny the left hands
- 19:50Speaker 1: to the body and his defense. The fifth, fifth round
- 19:53Speaker 1: was close. I could have went the ball, but that
- 19:55Speaker 1: was close, you know. I kind of put it up
- 19:57Speaker 1: in the air on that one ball though, in the
- 19:59Speaker 1: sixth was using his jab more and like forty seconds
- 20:04Speaker 1: in he had a nice flurry in the right hand
- 20:06Speaker 1: that I thought some did did some damage. Later he
- 20:09Speaker 1: landed two left hands that at least buzz did not
- 20:13Speaker 1: hurt to Henny. Late left uppercut landed flush as well.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Now still on the move, I thought, and landed to
- 20:21Speaker 1: the body. But I did think do Henny was on
- 20:23Speaker 1: the move more and all of a sudden like he
- 20:26Speaker 1: wasn't as effective. But that's the thing about him. I
- 20:30Speaker 1: gave him the seventh round, you know, I really I
- 20:34Speaker 1: thought his body work was landing clean. It's not like Dohenny,
- 20:40Speaker 1: you know, didn't jab and land a few good clean
- 20:44Speaker 1: shots or whatever. But I gave it to Dohnny that round.
- 20:49Speaker 1: Eighth round, close round, uppercuts off the upper cut off
- 20:53Speaker 1: the rope was really good, big right hand that probably
- 20:56Speaker 1: did it for a ball, but it was close. Ninth
- 20:59Speaker 1: round came around. There was a point deduction on ball
- 21:05Speaker 1: and by this time even before it like not even yeah,
- 21:11Speaker 1: it was before. In fact, in the seventh round, I'm
- 21:14Speaker 1: looking at my notes right here, you could see de
- 21:16Speaker 1: Hanny's eye was swelling pretty good, and by the ninth
- 21:19Speaker 1: round it looked like it was closing kind of quickly.
- 21:24Speaker 1: You know, but I did give that like a ten
- 21:27Speaker 1: to nine or you know, you could say nine to nine.
- 21:29Speaker 1: I guess we're in the UK. Maybe it's not a
- 21:31Speaker 1: ten must system, ten point must system. But I thought
- 21:35Speaker 1: he won the round with multiple combos and then tenth round,
- 21:42Speaker 1: like Nick, Ball was just letting hard shots go and
- 21:48Speaker 1: uh and you know, at the end of the round,
- 21:52Speaker 1: you're thinking, man, I don't I don't know, dude, he's
- 21:54Speaker 1: starting to slow way down and sure enough to Henny
- 21:58Speaker 1: closed eye kind of worn't out. He didn't answer the
- 22:01Speaker 1: bell for the eleventh rounds, so he did retire on
- 22:05Speaker 1: the stool. But he fought really well. Man. He's obviously
- 22:09Speaker 1: an aged fighter, so you know, it is what it is.
- 22:16Speaker 1: But yeah, I did really I thought that was a
- 22:20Speaker 1: good fight and it was a different type of challenge
- 22:23Speaker 1: for Ball. I did see a fair amount of folks saying,
- 22:28Speaker 1: you know, no one's going to be afraid of Ball
- 22:29Speaker 1: now at one twenty six, and that was a poor
- 22:32Speaker 1: showing and you could see him, sorry, I was just
- 22:38Speaker 1: pausing for a little bit of agua, but you could
- 22:41Speaker 1: see him get frustrated. You know, when you fight a
- 22:43Speaker 1: guy like that, it is frustrating. You know, and you
- 22:47Speaker 1: see it a fair amount that he just has this
- 22:49Speaker 1: style that can just contain a guy like Ball, especially
- 22:56Speaker 1: when he has to get in on the inside too
- 23:00Speaker 1: to be effective. I did think he could have used
- 23:02Speaker 1: his jab a little bit more, but he got the
- 23:05Speaker 1: job done. That's all it really counts. It's not gonna
- 23:08Speaker 1: always be pretty with Ball, and let's not forget like,
- 23:14Speaker 1: you know, he had a draw in a in a
- 23:18Speaker 1: split decision, and you can make arguments against him in
- 23:22Speaker 1: both those fights. So now you could say he won
- 23:28Speaker 1: both those fights too. You know, it's argument, it's a debate, right,
- 23:31Speaker 1: But yeah, I it'll be interesting to see who he's
- 23:39Speaker 1: matched up with next. That's kind of what I'm kind
- 23:43Speaker 1: of what I'm eyeballing to see who, you know, who
- 23:48Speaker 1: he's got, who he's got next. Now, the Andrew Caine
- 23:53Speaker 1: and Charlie Edwards I thought on paper was one of
- 23:56Speaker 1: the I think the second closest fight on paper. I
- 23:59Speaker 1: scored an eight four for uh Andrew Kine. It was
- 24:02Speaker 1: a split decision, though I didn't really see that one
- 24:07Speaker 1: fifteen one fourteen, one sixteen one twelve and then one
- 24:09Speaker 1: fifteen one thirteen for Edwards. You know, I think the
- 24:15Speaker 1: problem was Edwards. It took him too long to start
- 24:19Speaker 1: winning consecutive rounds. And don't get me wrong, he finished strong,
- 24:23Speaker 1: like you know, the last say four rounds, he finished strong.
- 24:29Speaker 1: But it was a little too little, too little late,
- 24:32Speaker 1: a little too little, a little too late. That's just
- 24:37Speaker 1: what I saw. I didn't. I don't know. I you know,
- 24:43Speaker 1: now maybe seven to five or something. You know, Yeah,
- 24:47Speaker 1: I think that's fair because if you give I mean,
- 24:49Speaker 1: if let's say you give him nine through twelve and
- 24:52Speaker 1: then you give him somewhere one through eight, Okay, can
- 24:56Speaker 1: you give them two to one through eight? Maybe I won,
- 24:59Speaker 1: but then are you for sure you get him all
- 25:01Speaker 1: for you know? So I don't know it was. It
- 25:03Speaker 1: was competitive, though, it just wash Like I said, I
- 25:07Speaker 1: thought Charlie Edwards just didn't do enough. Overall. Herrera won
- 25:15Speaker 1: as well. What is it jijira or something like that,
- 25:20Speaker 1: and so, and there was like a a cut that
- 25:25Speaker 1: you know, basically, I think it was in the fifth
- 25:29Speaker 1: or sixth round. I didn't score that fight, but it
- 25:34Speaker 1: was a punch though, you know, and he stopped him
- 25:36Speaker 1: in the in the seventh. So but I'll say this,
- 25:41Speaker 1: like Herrera didn't look all that great. I mean, you
- 25:47Speaker 1: don't need to win every round or anything. I did
- 25:50Speaker 1: think I thought he lost maybe the first two or whatever,
- 25:57Speaker 1: so he didn't look that good out the gates, but
- 25:59Speaker 1: he ended up getting the jail. I'm done. And then
- 26:01Speaker 1: you had that. And this was the closest one on paper,
- 26:04Speaker 1: the Balluta and Strand and and Balluta like he he's
- 26:11Speaker 1: he does his thing like there was a there was
- 26:13Speaker 1: a bullshit knockdown that it looked like their their their
- 26:18Speaker 1: feet got tied up and it was counted a knockdown,
- 26:23Speaker 1: so or not, you know that was the ninth round
- 26:28Speaker 1: or no, let me look here round eighth round. No,
- 26:33Speaker 1: it wasn't ninth. I'm looking at it wrong. I thought
- 26:38Speaker 1: that Strand got off to a good start. I had
- 26:42Speaker 1: him up like four to two after six. But then
- 26:48Speaker 1: you know, you could say, like the next three out
- 26:53Speaker 1: of the last four rounds, you know, you could give
- 26:57Speaker 1: to you get to Balluta. You know. So the George
- 27:03Speaker 1: Judges had ninety eight and ninety six ninety four, so
- 27:10Speaker 1: it was split. And yeah, I mean that's the thing,
- 27:15Speaker 1: like he's just like a really Ballutah's just a salt.
- 27:20Speaker 1: Like I saw a tweet I think it was from
- 27:23Speaker 1: Adam from Messa in boxing saying he's just like an
- 27:27Speaker 1: ideal gatekeeper, you know, if you look at Davies and Conlin,
- 27:32Speaker 1: and it went over Foster and recently he got a
- 27:38Speaker 1: win over Dennis McCain. I think there was a draw
- 27:42Speaker 1: the first time he beat Dohenny. So yeah, I mean
- 27:49Speaker 1: he's just had a nice little run. He doesn't even
- 27:51Speaker 1: have that many fights or anything, but yeah, that that
- 27:55Speaker 1: was That was an interesting card. I liked it. That
- 28:00Speaker 1: was a pretty good performance by Ball. But I think
- 28:04Speaker 1: I kind of think some people just overdo it with him.
- 28:10Speaker 1: So if you overdo it with how good he is,
- 28:14Speaker 1: and I think he is very good man, but I
- 28:18Speaker 1: think maybe people expect too much from him. But his
- 28:21Speaker 1: style lends itself to competitive fights, and you know Fandora
- 28:32Speaker 1: coming up. You know that it's a crime example. Is Booker, like,
- 28:38Speaker 1: you know, one of the best matchups he can make
- 28:40Speaker 1: in the division. No, it's not. Is Booker a worthy fighter? Yeah,
- 28:45Speaker 1: but you know Sebastian Fandora has that style where you're like, dude,
- 28:51Speaker 1: you know, he can get knocked out, he can get
- 28:53Speaker 1: out boxed, but he also can swarm you and give
- 28:57Speaker 1: fighters you wouldn't think some problems. So yeah, and then
- 29:02Speaker 1: we had Ammo. I do want to mention one more
- 29:07Speaker 1: Volney Volney and Williams, Amma Williams, Austin Ammo Williams. I
- 29:16Speaker 1: thought Williams came out when the first round landing with
- 29:19Speaker 1: both hands to the body. Vonney did land a nice
- 29:22Speaker 1: counter that he should get plenty of credit for, but
- 29:25Speaker 1: I don't think it was enough to win the round.
- 29:26Speaker 1: I gave Amil the second one to a nice left
- 29:29Speaker 1: hand to the head right around the midway point, right
- 29:33Speaker 1: hook to the head late. And then the third round
- 29:36Speaker 1: was very competitive, at least more competitive than the first two.
- 29:43Speaker 1: I close round, but I did give it to Volney,
- 29:49Speaker 1: and then I gave the fourth and the fifth to Amma.
- 29:53Speaker 1: And that was the thing. Amial got off to such
- 29:56Speaker 1: a good start that helped him down the stretch and
- 30:01Speaker 1: also what he did down the stretch. But the fourth
- 30:05Speaker 1: and the fifth, the fourth was a two way round.
- 30:08Speaker 1: But and I've only landed his jab a few nice
- 30:12Speaker 1: left hands, but the cleaner shots to the body and
- 30:16Speaker 1: in some combinations in the last minute, short little shots
- 30:20Speaker 1: I thought was enough to give Ammo that round. Both
- 30:25Speaker 1: were finding plenty of success in the fifth again, but
- 30:28Speaker 1: the better lands I thought were Ammo sixth round. Two
- 30:32Speaker 1: ways start the jab and he started pressuring. Voney started
- 30:38Speaker 1: pressuring behind that jab, going to the body, some big
- 30:41Speaker 1: left hooks. You know, I don't know that one's close,
- 30:47Speaker 1: because you could give Ammo the round based off that
- 30:51Speaker 1: he landed the overall better shots, especially close to close.
- 30:56Speaker 1: But that was close. That was close. Then I gave
- 31:00Speaker 1: Vonney the seventh round. I thought he took over the
- 31:04Speaker 1: round in the second half. I did a good job
- 31:07Speaker 1: at that another like really close eighth round, man, I
- 31:12Speaker 1: mean that that was close. Maybe you lean it to
- 31:17Speaker 1: Volney there. I did think the ninth round there was
- 31:21Speaker 1: some early exchanges, but the hook combinations and more body
- 31:25Speaker 1: work beyond like a late uppercut right, I think with
- 31:28Speaker 1: his right hand vone I gave. I gave him the
- 31:32Speaker 1: eighth animal I definitely did. I gave him the tenth
- 31:34Speaker 1: as well, just that steady work the whole time, but
- 31:39Speaker 1: if only did some nice work late in the in
- 31:41Speaker 1: the tenth body punching and straight rights to the head.
- 31:47Speaker 1: But I gave Vonney the eleventh there was a late
- 31:50Speaker 1: left hook and just some follow up after that that,
- 31:53Speaker 1: I thought he won the round, you know, the twelve
- 32:01Speaker 1: there was a left hook in the last whatever forty
- 32:04Speaker 1: five seconds that was effective by Volney. But I thought
- 32:09Speaker 1: the busier overall work was Ammo. So I gave it
- 32:13Speaker 1: to him about seven to five, give or take one
- 32:16Speaker 1: eighteen one ten, one, fifteen, one, thirteen one, sixteen one twelve.
- 32:22Speaker 1: So I did give Amo to win, and I did
- 32:25Speaker 1: think he deserved it. So, uh it was a good fight.
- 32:29Speaker 1: That was pretty good. I would have liked to see
- 32:31Speaker 1: Bolnet use his jab more and be a little bit more,
- 32:34Speaker 1: just pressure more. In fact, well it wasn't just the
- 32:39Speaker 1: jab actually because he did win in plenty, but I
- 32:44Speaker 1: guess just some follow up to go along with what
- 32:47Speaker 1: he was doing there and kind of pressure him even more.
- 32:50Speaker 1: And I would have, speaking of jab, I would have
- 32:53Speaker 1: liked to see uh Ammo's jab a little bit more
- 32:57Speaker 1: to set up some stuff. But I thought thick he
- 33:00Speaker 1: outworked him, and I just think he, uh well, not
- 33:04Speaker 1: necessarily outworked him, but I just thought he landed the
- 33:07Speaker 1: better shots, you know, because it was really competitive, I
- 33:11Speaker 1: believe when it came to the punch stat But that's
- 33:16Speaker 1: that's about all the recap gun and I'm gonna do
- 33:19Speaker 1: it's it's not a like I said, it's not a
- 33:21Speaker 1: really long show today. But we do have an Amazon card,
- 33:27Speaker 1: we have his own card, and we have a pro
- 33:29Speaker 1: Box card. Okay, So Sebastian Fandor returns against Cordell Booker.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Booker doesn't have a lot of power. It doesn't have
- 33:41Speaker 1: much power. Solid, definitely solid. He actually, uh, probably about
- 33:49Speaker 1: give or take four or five years ago, five years ago,
- 33:53Speaker 1: six years ago, something like that. I should check. He
- 33:56Speaker 1: did get stopped quick amimal actually, but actually let's see here. Yeah,
- 34:06Speaker 1: it was the first round. Oh, it's my bad. I
- 34:10Speaker 1: thought it was twenty twenty for some reason. No, or
- 34:12Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, No, it was. It was actually three
- 34:15Speaker 1: years ago, three years ago. And he has some okay
- 34:19Speaker 1: performance since then, but nothing that really stands way out,
- 34:24Speaker 1: you know. So, like I said, it's not an ideal
- 34:30Speaker 1: fight Fandora though, as a guy who you know, it's
- 34:34Speaker 1: just fun to watch and it's kind of like, okay,
- 34:38Speaker 1: so he gotta win, and you know, he kind of
- 34:45Speaker 1: got It appeared that he kind of got screwed in
- 34:47Speaker 1: that spent stuff. There was some there was some sanctioning
- 34:53Speaker 1: belt stuff that it looked like, oh, Crawford wants to fight,
- 34:57Speaker 1: but Crawford was just kind of aligning himself into it
- 35:02Speaker 1: just in case Canelo the Canelo fight didn't work out,
- 35:06Speaker 1: and so so he was just kind of aligning himself
- 35:11Speaker 1: and and then Spence for a while the ranking stuff
- 35:17Speaker 1: wasn't a go, and then it was. Then it then
- 35:20Speaker 1: Spence the side. You know, he kind of gets strung
- 35:22Speaker 1: along obviously, so you know, being that he's uh, you know,
- 35:28Speaker 1: like a year out of the ring, a little over
- 35:31Speaker 1: a little over year, I don't mind this fight. So
- 35:36Speaker 1: and he you know, he's fought some solid guys like
- 35:39Speaker 1: Sergio Garcia, Sawid obviously, Eric Lubinson's fall he got knocked out,
- 35:43Speaker 1: and Mendoza Tims who's solid, like he's got Gallimore Sauld
- 35:47Speaker 1: like he's got some uh. And I actually watched that,
- 35:50Speaker 1: uh that Clark fight live that I think that was
- 35:57Speaker 1: like I think that was like the first official h
- 36:05Speaker 1: Now I don't I don't really remember if that was
- 36:07Speaker 1: the first wasn't was it the first? One? Other deal
- 36:10Speaker 1: I can't remember for for the Armory there, because I
- 36:13Speaker 1: know they did two or three before that. I can't
- 36:16Speaker 1: remember anyway. So, yeah, I do think that there are
- 36:23Speaker 1: some things that Booker will be able to do to
- 36:30Speaker 1: like wild wild Ferndora comes in kind of wild, but
- 36:34Speaker 1: I don't So, you know, it's not like he won't
- 36:38Speaker 1: have success. Like I said, he's a fighter that you
- 36:41Speaker 1: have success against until you don't. It usually kind of
- 36:45Speaker 1: turns that way. And so regardless of how it plays out,
- 36:50Speaker 1: I just see, you know, a solid win by Fndora.
- 36:55Speaker 1: Will he stop him? We'll see. I I don't know.
- 37:01Speaker 1: Actually that's a good one. Actually, let's see here, let
- 37:07Speaker 1: me see some some odds on this one as far
- 37:10Speaker 1: as like Sebastian by knockout or decision or something like that.
- 37:15Speaker 1: Let's see. Uh, let's see what we got here. Something's
- 37:24Speaker 1: going on with Okay, there we go, So where the
- 37:30Speaker 1: hell is it? Okay, So Fandora is minus two twenty
- 37:38Speaker 1: for a knockout. So if you think Booker can can
- 37:41Speaker 1: make it the distance but lose, Fandora is a minus
- 37:47Speaker 1: one eighty five. And if you think that Booker is
- 37:52Speaker 1: just gonna out box him, which I don't think he will,
- 37:56Speaker 1: I think he'll just show shades of it. I think
- 37:58Speaker 1: there's some rounds of it. But I don't think he'll
- 38:00Speaker 1: do it overall, but if you do think that right
- 38:02Speaker 1: now at my bookie plus nineteen seventy five, that's a
- 38:07Speaker 1: great year. By the way, No, nineteen seventy five for
- 38:11Speaker 1: the decision and knockout knockout is he? Oh wow? Okay,
- 38:18Speaker 1: it's even it's less of a chance two thousand seventy five. Interesting.
- 38:23Speaker 1: So I don't know, man like Ken Booker make it
- 38:30Speaker 1: the distance. It's a good question. That is a good question.
- 38:39Speaker 1: I'm not totally sure on that one, but I think,
- 38:42Speaker 1: you know, I think Fandora will will get the dub
- 38:45Speaker 1: and then you'll you know, who knows. Maybe he'll fight
- 38:50Speaker 1: again somewhat soon, saying the next four months or something.
- 38:56Speaker 1: Maybe he'll wait a couple months as long as Tim
- 39:04Speaker 1: Zuo gets past his opponent, you know, maybe maybe he'll
- 39:12Speaker 1: wait for him and the winner of Thurman. I don't know.
- 39:15Speaker 1: I just think there's other fights out there for him
- 39:18Speaker 1: that he shouldn't have to like wait till you lie
- 39:22Speaker 1: to see and then you gotta wait more. So you
- 39:25Speaker 1: fight now, and then you fight like in November or
- 39:28Speaker 1: something like that. I would like him to be able
- 39:30Speaker 1: to return. I mean, we'll see how this fight goes.
- 39:32Speaker 1: Obviously could get hurt or whatever. But and Fandora was
- 39:36Speaker 1: a little banged up too, so that was part of
- 39:39Speaker 1: he wasn't just getting strung along. He did have a
- 39:41Speaker 1: little injury stuff too. And so this is what I mean,
- 39:44Speaker 1: like at this juncture, just to get on here. It
- 39:47Speaker 1: is on Amazon, get a headline, you know, show cool
- 39:53Speaker 1: and then and then look for a big fight, whether
- 39:57Speaker 1: that's a rematch with ericson Lubin as well if he
- 39:59Speaker 1: gets home. So and then you also have Elijah Garcia
- 40:05Speaker 1: and Terrell Shay and now once again odds wise, you know,
- 40:11Speaker 1: Gusha has this weird thing where it doesn't appear he
- 40:15Speaker 1: has much power, but he does have some pop. But
- 40:20Speaker 1: he he is like a good litmus test because he's
- 40:24Speaker 1: fought so from Arisloni Laura to try out to lube
- 40:30Speaker 1: In to Tim's like he's fought out of us. He
- 40:34Speaker 1: just fought actually not long ago, not all that long ago,
- 40:38Speaker 1: within a year ago. And you know, so Elijah's kind
- 40:44Speaker 1: of on the bounce back, and you know, so I'm
- 40:50Speaker 1: okay with it. Like Elijah, you know that Kayn Davis
- 40:55Speaker 1: fight didn't go his way and so where like I
- 41:00Speaker 1: said where they're at. You know, Therell's never been stopped,
- 41:04Speaker 1: so I don't I don't think it's really that that
- 41:10Speaker 1: bad of a fight at all. I think it's where
- 41:12Speaker 1: they're at in their career. Once again, I don't mind
- 41:14Speaker 1: this fight. I think stylistically, Gusel given some things to
- 41:20Speaker 1: think about now. Jesus Ramos was fighting Selgato, right, and
- 41:29Speaker 1: he he has one fight, you know from Rosario that
- 41:37Speaker 1: wasn't that long ago obviously, and so he's getting right
- 41:42Speaker 1: back in the ring. You know, the Lubin fight I
- 41:46Speaker 1: thought was very close. It could have went either way.
- 41:52Speaker 1: So you know, scram coming in on somewhat late replacement
- 41:57Speaker 1: late notice, right, I forgot if Guido had if Guido
- 42:04Speaker 1: had a fight planned or not. He had a fun
- 42:07Speaker 1: fight with Hernandez and he and Johann Gonzalez. Uh, he
- 42:12Speaker 1: went out ten rounds with him, and that's his last
- 42:17Speaker 1: two fights. So you know, I think it's okay. I
- 42:24Speaker 1: think I just think it's kind of like they're they're
- 42:29Speaker 1: good at where they're at in their career, but they
- 42:32Speaker 1: do kind of lend themselves to showcase fights. So it's
- 42:38Speaker 1: good quality opponents. With the with Garcia and Ronald j
- 42:42Speaker 1: They're solid, but it's kind of what they need right now,
- 42:46Speaker 1: and then hopefully that leads to a bigger fight. Like
- 42:51Speaker 1: I said, I'd love to see the Ramos or a
- 42:54Speaker 1: little bit rematch because that was a that was a
- 42:57Speaker 1: good fight, and I think that both of them could
- 42:59Speaker 1: improve actually on there on their performances, but I definitely
- 43:03Speaker 1: think Ramos could. You also have Frieda's Rojas against the
- 43:08Speaker 1: Marice Lee on that undercard, and you have some other
- 43:12Speaker 1: fights too that I won't go too too deep into
- 43:16Speaker 1: right now. So pro Box also has a card. Let
- 43:21Speaker 1: me get a little swig here. So Robacks has a
- 43:26Speaker 1: card with Lester Martinez and Joe Sean James. This one
- 43:33Speaker 1: got postponed. He is on an unbeaten prospect. He does
- 43:39Speaker 1: have a couple of draws, one of them against the
- 43:41Speaker 1: Javier Martinez, So you know where Lester, I think this
- 43:49Speaker 1: is his. I think it's nineteen fight if I remember correctly.
- 43:52Speaker 1: He's eighteen to oh with like fifteen knockouts. He hasn't
- 43:57Speaker 1: fought in a while. He hasn't fought since Gongora so
- 44:02Speaker 1: and he cleanly won that fight. But you know, I'm
- 44:07Speaker 1: kind of looking forward to this because a lot of
- 44:09Speaker 1: people are high on Lester Martinez and it is kind
- 44:13Speaker 1: of a fight there. For me, it's okay, it's it's decent.
- 44:17Speaker 1: Joshan James, the okay fighter. Like I said, I keep
- 44:20Speaker 1: using the words solid, right, but you know, Lester Martinez,
- 44:25Speaker 1: it's kind of like one of those all right, dude,
- 44:27Speaker 1: let's see what you got here. And as I mentioned,
- 44:32Speaker 1: this was delate, so you know, it makes sense for
- 44:38Speaker 1: what pro Box delivers a lot. This is a pretty
- 44:42Speaker 1: good fight, I'd say. Also, Hernandez and Lucero, I think
- 44:48Speaker 1: it is that is that's really like, let me see
- 44:52Speaker 1: how if the odds changed it all. Yeah, So anyway,
- 44:58Speaker 1: Joshawan James, just to go back to that real quick
- 45:01Speaker 1: plus two eighty plus three hundred plus two ninety Oh. Also, uh, Scoby,
- 45:10Speaker 1: is it Scoby? I think that's how you say Kurtz Kobe.
- 45:12Speaker 1: Yet he's on the car too, Okay. So Lucero and Hernandez.
- 45:22Speaker 1: Vladimir Hernandez is just kind of one of those undervalued
- 45:28Speaker 1: good fighters man, Like he's a little undervalued. He's not
- 45:33Speaker 1: gonna blow you away. But his opponent Luciro is a
- 45:37Speaker 1: plus one twenty four plus one forty plus one thirty
- 45:42Speaker 1: eight that range. So you know, I would say that's
- 45:50Speaker 1: that's in range of an upset, and you wouldn't really
- 45:54Speaker 1: call it, you know, obviously a big upset at that point.
- 45:58Speaker 1: So I really like that fight, Like I said, Hernandez,
- 46:02Speaker 1: just I like fighters like this, dude. Like you know,
- 46:05Speaker 1: when you look at his record, dude, it's not that great.
- 46:08Speaker 1: You know, sixteen and six he has been stopped I
- 46:12Speaker 1: think twice. But you know, in a short amount of time, dude,
- 46:17Speaker 1: you know he's taking on some fighters, and so yeah,
- 46:20Speaker 1: I think he he basically started getting his name off
- 46:24Speaker 1: of well he found a decent fight with Julian Williams
- 46:29Speaker 1: a handful of years ago. That's where he got his
- 46:31Speaker 1: big name. That's but decision. He beat Lorenzo Simpson too.
- 46:37Speaker 1: He actually knocked out Scram Shram. So yeah, Jesse Magnanello
- 46:45Speaker 1: against Luis Korea, Kelvin Davis is on the card, Anthony Cooba,
- 46:54Speaker 1: a couple other couple other fighters too, So you know,
- 46:58Speaker 1: I definitely would uh tune into that, right. It's the
- 47:02Speaker 1: pro boxes usually gives you some good shows here and
- 47:05Speaker 1: then Cambos is George campbos Is junior. Some people think
- 47:09Speaker 1: he's just kind of coming back just to like, you know,
- 47:18Speaker 1: fight like it's it's really about his next fight with
- 47:22Speaker 1: this one, and we'll see who that ends up being.
- 47:28Speaker 1: He should, you know, if he's not. As long as
- 47:30Speaker 1: he's not completely washed, he should be able to get
- 47:34Speaker 1: through this. Sky Nicholson and Tierra Brown are on this
- 47:38Speaker 1: card too. I think Sky's gonna win, but I think
- 47:46Speaker 1: it's a nice fifer, you know, I think the well,
- 47:50Speaker 1: what are the odds again, I think the odds are
- 47:53Speaker 1: a little wide. Tierra Brown is a plus five hundred
- 47:57Speaker 1: plus five twenty plus five fifty range. I still favor
- 48:02Speaker 1: Sky Nicholson to win the fight, like I mentioned, but
- 48:06Speaker 1: I don't know. In Cambosa's and Richardson Hitchins is a
- 48:11Speaker 1: fight that it appears they may be lining out. Not
- 48:15Speaker 1: totally sure though, like down the like later this year,
- 48:21Speaker 1: so we'll see if that if that is the case.
- 48:25Speaker 1: But I have Cambosa's when I have Scott Nicholson winning.
- 48:29Speaker 1: But I do think Brown's gonna give her something to
- 48:32Speaker 1: think about, that's for sure, and that that, you know,
- 48:35Speaker 1: I could turn out to be her hardest fight. Now
- 48:39Speaker 1: there is a woman's fight. Hughes and Johnson. Nina Hughes
- 48:43Speaker 1: is a very small underdog. Shameka Johnson is barely a favorite.
- 48:49Speaker 1: I guess there is a plus one fifty by the
- 48:51Speaker 1: plus one ten plus one thirty, so keep an eye
- 48:53Speaker 1: on that one. That's I think that's the most equally
- 48:57Speaker 1: matched fight of the weekend. Let me double track, Yeah,
- 49:04Speaker 1: I think that is it. So, you know, like I
- 49:09Speaker 1: was saying, it's not jam Pack, like, dude, oh my god, dude,
- 49:13Speaker 1: I can't wait for this weekend. But from a hardcore perspective,
- 49:18Speaker 1: it does kind of answer well, I shouldn't say answer
- 49:23Speaker 1: questions because like Haesus Ramos and Elijah Garcia, I think
- 49:29Speaker 1: it's like, all right, dude, we're gonna keep step you know,
- 49:32Speaker 1: we're gonna step them up. We're gonna keep them active
- 49:35Speaker 1: a little bit, step them up, and then you know,
- 49:39Speaker 1: hopefully by years end or next fight, depending on how
- 49:43Speaker 1: these fights go, that they get, you know, something really
- 49:46Speaker 1: big for their career. Not you're not gonna get the
- 49:48Speaker 1: biggest fight, per se. But there's just so much in
- 49:52Speaker 1: and around that weight. I mean, not as much at
- 49:55Speaker 1: one sixty, but there's still some stuff at one sixty obviously,
- 49:59Speaker 1: U even in house so yeah, it's it's a weekend.
- 50:04Speaker 1: That's like, all right, we'll see. But yeah, that Lucero
- 50:09Speaker 1: and Hernandez fight, I would say, out of the top
- 50:13Speaker 1: you know, three fights or whatever on each card, I
- 50:16Speaker 1: would say, that will turn out to be the best fight.
- 50:20Speaker 1: That's just from a competitive standpoint. Okay, So the undercard
- 50:26Speaker 1: for canelo next fight against Skull is out right, and
- 50:35Speaker 1: we kind of already knew, you know, some of the
- 50:39Speaker 1: fights obviously, um hm, you know the the Bruno and Haime, right,
- 50:46Speaker 1: Mungia needing to hit dude, he's a Bruno's a plus
- 50:51Speaker 1: four seventy on fan Duel. I'm just saying, Okay, I'm
- 50:58Speaker 1: not saying but I'm I'm just saying. It's a little
- 51:01Speaker 1: funky in my opinion. So anyway, I think Mungia can
- 51:11Speaker 1: win the damn fight, that's for sure. But and then
- 51:15Speaker 1: you have so Bakoli and a Jagba. When it first
- 51:20Speaker 1: got announced, I was like, all right, dude, that that's good.
- 51:22Speaker 1: That's legit. You know, that is legit. But to me,
- 51:29Speaker 1: it's a little funky because Bakolai got knocked out. Now
- 51:32Speaker 1: this is gonna be in Sadie correct, So you know,
- 51:38Speaker 1: they're not gonna go by you know what what we
- 51:42Speaker 1: normally do here, And I say normally, right, it doesn't
- 51:46Speaker 1: always go that way. But I just think it wasn't
- 51:52Speaker 1: some kind of brutal, brutal knockout. I do get that,
- 51:55Speaker 1: but I'm just not a fan of like, you just
- 51:58Speaker 1: got knocked out and hey, you're back on the U,
- 52:00Speaker 1: You're back on a card. It's really just the day later,
- 52:03Speaker 1: you know, I'd give him a little bit more time,
- 52:07Speaker 1: to be honest with you. I mean, I don't know,
- 52:10Speaker 1: like I'm just not I'm just it's just a little
- 52:14Speaker 1: funky to me. So I'm not saying it's room to
- 52:16Speaker 1: fight altogether. But I don't have the same exact feeling
- 52:23Speaker 1: like I really I was like, that's a good fight,
- 52:25Speaker 1: that's that's quality. Now I'm like, I think that's a
- 52:28Speaker 1: good fight. It's probably pretty good. But I just wouldn't
- 52:34Speaker 1: have mind if he, you know, like just waited a
- 52:39Speaker 1: couple more months to come back after a knockout. As
- 52:43Speaker 1: I mentioned, it's not some brutal knockout, but you know,
- 52:49Speaker 1: it's still a knockout. So that's the only one where
- 52:53Speaker 1: I'm like, hmm, I was assuming it would get postponed
- 52:57Speaker 1: a little bit there, and so yeah, I'm not a
- 53:02Speaker 1: huge fan of that, but I'm not trying to outrule
- 53:07Speaker 1: it either like oh, dude, that's a garbage fire or
- 53:10Speaker 1: how it's just happening, and you know, so many things
- 53:13Speaker 1: happen in boxing, and you know, you can't make a
- 53:16Speaker 1: huge deal out of something like this. He could be
- 53:18Speaker 1: just fine and win the fight. Me he is favorite
- 53:20Speaker 1: to win the fight, and then so it's pretty good, right,
- 53:25Speaker 1: Badue Jack, he is a slight favorite. That's probably the
- 53:30Speaker 1: closest that I'm assuming that will be. I didn't even
- 53:34Speaker 1: see it, but that's the closest from what I can see,
- 53:40Speaker 1: you know, against Rosicky. I think that's how you say
- 53:43Speaker 1: his name. And then there's two prospects fights. So it's
- 53:46Speaker 1: not you know, it's it is what it is, you know,
- 53:53Speaker 1: and actually what is that? Let me see that. Yeah,
- 53:58Speaker 1: it's basically like, is Badu Jack I washed? Is Badu Jack?
- 54:03Speaker 1: Is he just semi washed? Because if that's the case,
- 54:08Speaker 1: he's you know, or if he's maybe not semi washed,
- 54:11Speaker 1: but if he's like only a third washed, you know,
- 54:15Speaker 1: then maybe Yeah, So that dude right now on fanduels
- 54:19Speaker 1: A plus one eighty two or bad dou Jack. So
- 54:24Speaker 1: I like the rematch on paper by the time I
- 54:27Speaker 1: get there and and maybe being reasshirt him saying I'm good,
- 54:32Speaker 1: We're fine. I barely even got touched, even though he
- 54:35Speaker 1: clearly he probably got he got touched, you know, he
- 54:39Speaker 1: got knocked out. Just because he didn't get put out
- 54:43Speaker 1: cold and it was early, it doesn't completely take away
- 54:48Speaker 1: from what's going on there, you know what I mean. So,
- 54:52Speaker 1: so yeah, there is that, right, there is that. So
- 54:57Speaker 1: yeah that the two prospect fights it what it is like.
- 55:01Speaker 1: It's not a great card, but it's I wouldn't call
- 55:04Speaker 1: it a bad card either, because there are two interesting fights.
- 55:07Speaker 1: And then you have one where you know Bady Jack.
- 55:13Speaker 1: Anytimes you're plus two hundred down, you know his opponent.
- 55:17Speaker 1: It's it's not that bad at all. Now, the U
- 55:22Speaker 1: Bank Connor benfight, the problem with back it up, Brokeick.
- 55:26Speaker 1: The problem with the Canela fight is the main event.
- 55:30Speaker 1: So if you give me that in the main event,
- 55:33Speaker 1: you really because remember he set the bar, he set
- 55:37Speaker 1: the standard on other cards. So if you give me
- 55:40Speaker 1: a a main event that, to be honest with you,
- 55:46Speaker 1: it's just a run of the mill type shit. Right,
- 55:50Speaker 1: So if you give me that cool whatever I can,
- 55:54Speaker 1: I can deal with it. But and I know that
- 55:58Speaker 1: there's a you know, a big fight next right obviously,
- 56:06Speaker 1: then you really got to hook up the under card.
- 56:08Speaker 1: And it's just not now on the flip side, you know,
- 56:17Speaker 1: like ben U Bank Junior has just been so dragged
- 56:21Speaker 1: out that I don't care about it until we get
- 56:25Speaker 1: there in a couple of weeks. You know, I'll just
- 56:27Speaker 1: be honest, it's like it's gonna be part of my
- 56:32Speaker 1: subscription here. It is what it is. You know, I
- 56:36Speaker 1: don't really have that much interest in it, to be honest.
- 56:41Speaker 1: I thought the egg thing was pretty funny. But I'm
- 56:44Speaker 1: a boxing fan, so you know, that week I'll be like,
- 56:47Speaker 1: all right, let's see, we'll see what we got here.
- 56:49Speaker 1: You know, but on paper, now, on paper, in what
- 56:53Speaker 1: people classify as big fights, this one's a little misleading
- 56:59Speaker 1: because I I hear people go, ah, this isn't that good, dude,
- 57:02Speaker 1: Like this is there's no big fight, and that is true.
- 57:07Speaker 1: But you know, Liam Smith, Aaron McKennon, you know that's
- 57:12Speaker 1: more for Aaron McKennon. Where's he at? Where's Liam Smith at?
- 57:16Speaker 1: You know, is he you know, he's on the downslide?
- 57:21Speaker 1: How far is he slide? Anthony Yard, Lyndon Arthur not
- 57:25Speaker 1: a bad fight. It's a good domestic you know, scrap Chris,
- 57:31Speaker 1: William Smith, Brandon Glatton. You know it doesn't scream. Man,
- 57:36Speaker 1: that's a great fight. Videll Riley in there with the
- 57:40Speaker 1: shavon Clark where Riley is in his career. Not that bad,
- 57:45Speaker 1: you know, not that bad. But so yeah, i'd agree,
- 57:50Speaker 1: like i'd say the wider margin. I'm gonna go to
- 57:53Speaker 1: the pro Boxingtodds dot Com here. Clearly Yard is the
- 57:57Speaker 1: biggest favorite, but in he is It's like FanDuel has
- 58:05Speaker 1: has Arthur at plus four seventy plus four seventy five
- 58:09Speaker 1: plus four fift I think they're lining up Calliam Smith,
- 58:12Speaker 1: f Yard and Benavidez and to get screwed. But I
- 58:15Speaker 1: hope not. But when you look at William Smith Glatton,
- 58:21Speaker 1: like it's a close fight, Like Glatton is only a
- 58:26Speaker 1: plus one seventy five plus one sixty four on FanDuel,
- 58:32Speaker 1: Like look at Clark plus one fifteen plus one twenty
- 58:36Speaker 1: eight plus one thirty eight. These are competitive fights, Like
- 58:39Speaker 1: I didn't think that was I didn't think that Glattin
- 58:42Speaker 1: was even as tight. I knew it was competitive and
- 58:44Speaker 1: good on paper, but I thought it'd be more like,
- 58:48Speaker 1: you know, plus two hundred maybe something like that, but
- 58:52Speaker 1: a little bit above that maybe. But you know, McKennon,
- 58:56Speaker 1: like I said, shit, that's damn near even money. Plus
- 58:59Speaker 1: one ten plum plus one twenty. That's close. And then
- 59:03Speaker 1: the main event Connor Ben the highest underdog number and
- 59:10Speaker 1: this is bet my way or bet way plus one
- 59:15Speaker 1: thirty eight. So yeah, you can sit there and tell me, dude,
- 59:20Speaker 1: there's no there's no big fights on the card. And honestly,
- 59:24Speaker 1: I understand why Connor Ben and Christy Maine Junior fighting
- 59:28Speaker 1: and to call that a big fight. I understand why
- 59:30Speaker 1: people call that a big fight. It's gonna rally the
- 59:34Speaker 1: troops over there. But it doesn't do a whole lot
- 59:37Speaker 1: for me, to be honest with you, until we get
- 59:39Speaker 1: the fight week.
- 59:39Speaker 2: But the undercard, dude, it's it's something that as a
- 59:45Speaker 2: lifelong boxing fan, you're not gonna get me to be like, oh, dude,
- 59:49Speaker 2: that's trash because I know what the underdog being anywhere
- 59:56Speaker 2: from plus one o one ten to a plus two
- 59:59Speaker 2: hundred in that ra.
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: I already know that that's that's legit, you know, so
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: you can sit there and dog it all you want,
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: and I get it. You know. There's no nothing that
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: screams out, oh my god, dude, that fight's happening. I
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: get it. But other than that, it's like ooh, and
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: I will say this, So going with this Canelo fight
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: Overseas and Sadi instead of the J Paul on Netflix,
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: I was critical of that because it's like, if you're
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: gonna fight but any way either way, then you might
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: as well blow up the pre fight, the pre pre
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: you know, make it a prelude. But if the rumors
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: are true that Canelo and Crawford will be on Netflix,
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: then I'm on fully on board again, Like not with
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: Canelo and Crawford, right, but I'm saying, like that fight
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: is it was gonna happen, and I was gonna buy
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: it anyway. I see what Crawford can do great, but
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: but if you put it on Netflix that that basically
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: would be great, Like there's no way around it. Like
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: we talk about exposure, and that's the one thing that
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: you can set well more than one thing, but the
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: one thing that stands out, like overpaying this amount of
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: much is one another item that could be troubling for
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: the for the short, mid term and long term of
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: the sport the way he's done that. But the lack
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: of exposure in this country, it's been really bad for
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: such great fights in great cards. Right. But if he if,
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: if he puts Canelo and Crawford on Netflix, that is phenomenal.
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: That that is now you got me thinking, Okay, you know,
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: and there's rumors about UFC. Will they stay with ESPN,
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: will they go to Netflix, will they go someplace else?
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: Will they split it up over two networks? I don't know.
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: It's a good that's a good one. Do. Oh and
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: it does sound like in June. I've heard from multiple
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: sources or seen multiple sources. I haven't heard from myself.
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: Let me clarify that that, Uh, Davis Roach will literally
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: be in June. So wow, that's that's what they said.
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: It was gonna turn around quick. We heard from the
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: probox dude. Uh not long ago. I talked about that
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: during this segment last week. Yeah, dude, sign me up.
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: That's awesome. If it would come back back quick like that,
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: that is that's quick. And by by the way, the
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: credit goes to MOE Boxing NP. I saw it on
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: brunch Boxing. Shots out to brunch Boxing. Yeah, but they're
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: saying the target is Vegas June twenty first, So yeah,
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: that's that would be huge, that would be phenomenal. Oh yeah,
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: and also callium wash good old wash wash took care
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: of took care of business, a nice little two piece,
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: nice little hook, right hook. I believe it was. He
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: definitely took care of business. And there was this like
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: plus six hundred upset against that big old dude Callaway
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: Jean Callaway that Thomas Carty is forced to retire after
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: second round against the four hundred pounder Jean Calloway. But yeah,
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: Callaway was six to one anyway. So Boxing Scene boxing
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: source okay hold on. So Boxing Scene had a little
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: article today about the structure of their new league. They
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: don't they don't call league. They call a league, but
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: it's not a league. But then they call a league,
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: but we don't know if it's a league. It's kind
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: of a league. I don't know. But so it goes
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: off their rankings, right, So twenty thousand dollars for a
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: ten round bout by an unranked fighter, fifty thousand when
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: ranked by the Company between five and ten, one hundred
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: and twenty five thousand, when ranked by the Company at
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: number three and four, and then when challenging for the
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: Company Championship three hundred and seventy five thousand, and then
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: when defending the Company Championship seven one hundred and fifty thousand. Okay,
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: so that you know, and there was this the I'm
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: reading right from Matt Brunch boxing shots out the Matt.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: You know, he has this quote from it just off
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: his Twitter handle or his Twitter feed from a boxing vet.
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: The pay skill will eventually settle in that to that realm.
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: But when you have athletes who are used to seeing
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: more or less better pay scale for sending up the
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: traditional rankings, that I do not see the motivation to
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: join the league when you are in a bubblem and
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: that is that's the thing. You know. It's like this
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: does kind of lend itself to the mid level, which
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with that or the prospect level. Now,
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: maybe if Turkey could because he has contracts with a
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: lot of guys, could he extend those contracts or not
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: or whatever. Because Turkey did come out like I mentioned before,
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: and you know, basically put out some fires, saying, hey,
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: we're we're working within the industry. I'm going to be
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: at least in there for another eighteen months, a year
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: to two or something like that, with the promoters and
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: all the sanctionings. You know, you guys operate how you operate.
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: We're just doing this. This is something totally different. That's
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: so he put out the he put out like a
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: video or not a video, but a space trying to
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: basically put out some fires that he said. And so
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: my point is it's like if he were to because
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: they're talking about one hundred and fifty fighters, right, so
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: in the amount the matchmaking and the scouts, like I
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: said last week, is gonna be really key when it
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: comes to this, because there are a lot of fighters
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: that guys like Samson and other guys and gals sign
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: and get in there and all of a sudden organically
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: they pull a knock upset and you're like, oh shit,
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: this dude, could you know? So there's plenty of people,
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: you know, plenty of fighters that can really fight that
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: just aren't with the right people, right, So will that
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: be where he starts the company? The problem is it's
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: like it kind of just turns into another belt, because
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: if you're not gonna you know, take over and get
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: the best talent in the leite, in the in the
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: world and in boxing, then your rankings aren't really gonna
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: mean shit. So if you were to do that, if
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: you were to do what I said or speculating, and
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: then you use the Ring magazine, at least there's some
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: you know, there's something to that, right, But if it's
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: your own rankings, because obviously I always talk about the
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: rankings being bullshit for the sanctioning bilts, Now they may not.
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: You know, he's not going to take money out of
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: your pocket in this belt. That's good, But how legit
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: like who? First of all, back to who's doing the rankings,
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: and then is it based off entertainment or skill or
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: how do you set the rankings? Do you fight, have
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: a tournament and then you establish the rankings. How do
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: you just say, hey, this is the rankings, because there
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: are going to be champions that can join, or championship
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: level that can join because they're not getting paid that much,
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: you know, so and at least they'll know, hey, I
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: have some stuff scheduled and I can make this amount
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: of money, right, so that part of it it's good,
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: but once again, it just feels like it's gonna be
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: another belt with bullshit rankings. Now within that thing, you
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: could say the rankings might be good, we don't know,
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: like with who they have on their roster, but you
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: can't sit there and tell me it's best fighting the best.
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: It's really your best fighting your best, so that that's
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: you know, if how can you call it the best
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: fighting the best if you don't have you know, the
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: best fighters, you know, so if your rankings don't in
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: a division, don't include the best fighters, then their bullshit rankings.
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: So this turns into just another belt. So I don't know,
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: or is it. This is how they're going to plan
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: to build their prospect level guys, mid level kind of
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: contender range guys. And at the same time you're gonna
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: see Turkey going out there and sign it more folks,
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: and so you can maybe you can this will be
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: a contender thing and then they can move on to
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: the big time. I don't know. Credit to boxing source.
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: I saw this on brunch Boxing. Jamal Charlo breaks down.
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: Oh wait, that's a video, but he said Jamal Charlow.
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: Jamal Charlow is set to return to the ring in May.
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: According to his trainer Ronnie Shields, possible dates May seventeenth
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: or May twenty fourth. So that's that's kind of interesting
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: because there has been some other some other May fights
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: that you're like, you'll be back in May. Okay. By
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: the way, Prime Video Amazon Amazon Prime is gonna show
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: that Tim Zu Spencer card, so it's not just gonna be,
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: you know, on on the YouTube channel, uh Premiere Boxing
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: that so it's gonna be it's gonna be on the thing,
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: which is cool, makes sense, and then lines up for
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: the Therman fight if you can get by him. There
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: is gonna be a decision soon as far as the
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight Olympics for boxing, so we'll see. There
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: is some talk about Bam Rodriguez and CAFU So Rodriguez
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: and Canfu and a unification for the summer in Phoenix.
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: I saw this that the WBC ordered Rocker Hernandez and
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: Mark mccio to determine the mandatory for Oshaki Foster's title.
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: It's a good fight. I like that Yafaia Galel Yafaya
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: and Francisco Rodriguez. This is Jake Donovan Purse bid heads.
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: The fight is headed to March twenty fifth, perse Bid,
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: So we'll see if in fact that happens. What else
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: we got here? What was that other? But yeah, you
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: know the trickle of Tito thing. It's like they're teasing
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: us with it. And then you know, nothing wrong with CFU,
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: but it's kind of like here's some screenshot by somebody
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: that of Barbosa box saying the automn this is an
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: automatic DQ with no further questions with that nick ball thing,
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: and I just disagree with that. I totally disagree with that.
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: The ball in Inuay. You know that they kind of
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: had an exchange saying, hey, until that day comes where
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: we fight, I go up to featherweight, let's increase each
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: other's values. And but anyway, did said that, butody else
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: said out you know I only need two fists that
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: that's good enough for me. I don't. I don't need
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: that other ship. Oh yeah, and Berlanga one, I forgot
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: about that. And after the fight, this is ifl T said,
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: I'm on a different level. Now I'm gonna do the
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: same thing. The plant will Gia, Charlie. I got dynamite
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: in these hands, like flavor Mobrother told me you got
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: dynamite in those hands. Just let them ships fly. Nobody's
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: gonna stand there with you. You hit too hard, you're
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: too smart. You got IQ. I don't know about that
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: other stuff. I don't know about that. We're talking about
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: boxing IQ again, I don't know about that other stuff. Okay,
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: so yeah, what is the other returning in May? Oh
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: there was on boxing scene also that Eddie Hearn was
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: saying there's a conversation taking place about the potential of
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: Calliam Smithy. They're facing David Benavidez or Morale. But you
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: know what, they were also saying that there's talks going
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: around and we're trying to make the fight you know
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: between benevite Is and bit followed. But then they came
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: right back around and we're like, actually, forget it. We're
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: gonna do whatever Turkey says. And to be fair, like,
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: if they want to do the trilogy, I'm not gonna
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: sit there and act like that's a bad fight like
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: some people are doing. Raymond Ford returns against Tom Thomas
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: Matisse or Thomas Mattis. That's a good fight that'll work
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: for me. I also saw this from Clarisa Shields from
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: brunch Boxing that Clissa Shields found not guilty as provisionary
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: provisionally suspension lifted. So that's good because it was just
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: that you know, marijuana thing. Oh so yeah, you know
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: I talked about Benavetez and Deval how there's talks about it.
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: We want to make that fight. Eddie Hearn said to
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: Fight Hype that the Benavidez fight has never been close.
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: There's never been any conversations. But it's a great fight.
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: We don't we don't rule it out. He's given us
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: four fights around the world, particularly inside. He's talking about
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: Turkey and great opportunities. Whatever he wants next, we'll do.
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: If he wants to fight benavide is cool, but he
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: said his gut is feeling he wants to make the trilogy. So,
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: like I said, that's a legit fight. I'm not gonna
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: sit there and all of a sudden get mad at
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: that fight. By the way, Berlanga didn't fight anybody, you
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: know what I mean, that dude, it did not look good.
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: So hopefully he gets in there. Oh and then Jalil
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: Hackett got hurt too. It's kind of a weird. He
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: was in the Sana slip messed up his leg or
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: something like that. That's kind of weird. That was a
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: little bit weird. Then he had Dougie putting out a
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: comment about the TKO League it'll never work. But then
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: he had asked Turkey, Hey, with the Turkey's blessing, I'm
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: gonna put this out and then I'm gonna as like
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: a tester. You know, it's like, what did I put
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: this out there? Also with the blessings, I put this
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: out there. I wanted to know who reaches out to you,
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: how fast, people who pressed to be your friends reach
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: out to you and say, hey, get rid of the guy.
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: I'll be the editor. I'm on your side. You know.
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: There's just some stupid shit, dude, stupid shit, dude. I
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: don't know what the fuck that was all about. I
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: think that's gonna wrap it up. So yeah, yeah, I
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: think that'll do it. Oh here's another one. This one
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: I was this is what it was? Uh oh so,
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: so Samson says that Delo Santos and Frank Martin will
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: fight in May. That was the other one that I
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: had seen. So anyway, I'm gonna get out of here,
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: enjoy the fights this weekend. Definitely be back next week.
