- 0:02Speaker 1: Hey, what are boxing fans. This is the Rope of
- 0:05Speaker 1: Dope radio podcast. I'm your host, Chris Carlson. We are
- 0:08Speaker 1: live on a Thursday night. Life got in the way.
- 0:11Speaker 1: What am I gonna do? You know what I mean?
- 0:13Speaker 1: We will talk. This is give me a short show today.
- 0:16Speaker 1: I'll just I'll just stay that straight up. Boots innis man,
- 0:23Speaker 1: he did his thing. He really did his thing. We're
- 0:26Speaker 1: obviously gonna go over that fight in the co feature
- 0:30Speaker 1: and in some other items we'll preview, you know, a
- 0:35Speaker 1: fairly light weekend in the way of big fights. Obviously,
- 0:39Speaker 1: we have a string of pretty big fights coming up,
- 0:42Speaker 1: but Ben Whittaker basically it's his weekend to kind of,
- 0:48Speaker 1: you know, look good again. I guess you could say that.
- 0:51Speaker 1: So we'll talk about some some other items as well
- 0:53Speaker 1: when it comes to this weekend, and you know, of course,
- 0:58Speaker 1: once we get done recap and Boots stanionis what's next one?
- 1:04Speaker 1: You know, there was talk of him maybe fighting at
- 1:08Speaker 1: least once, if not maybe two more times to close
- 1:11Speaker 1: the year and just get the welterweight division figured out.
- 1:15Speaker 1: I mean to me, it basically is just because he's
- 1:18Speaker 1: got the lineal But you know, Brian Norman may have
- 1:23Speaker 1: something to say. Mario Barrios is the other guy with
- 1:28Speaker 1: a belt, so obviously, you know, I said it at
- 1:33Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, like if he fights all
- 1:35Speaker 1: three champions, and he fights three times this year, you
- 1:38Speaker 1: really can't complain. Now, you know, the one fifty four
- 1:43Speaker 1: pound matchups that are just crazy and soon enough, maybe
- 1:48Speaker 1: it'll be next you never know, but either way, he's
- 1:53Speaker 1: gonna be up at fifty four before long. I'd be
- 1:55Speaker 1: surprised if in twenty twenty six unless someone you know,
- 2:00Speaker 1: it's tough to say, because I guess you could say
- 2:02Speaker 1: Tea Fema Lopez if he gets by Barbosa. There are
- 2:10Speaker 1: some guys that could come that are now at forty
- 2:12Speaker 1: seven and that that could come up, so I guess,
- 2:15Speaker 1: you know, well, we'll talk a little bit about that,
- 2:19Speaker 1: and then you know, fight fight, fight News, fight week,
- 2:22Speaker 1: boxing Twitter stuff. You know, it's kind of crazy, like
- 2:29Speaker 1: we finally got the pay per view prices and they
- 2:34Speaker 1: have a bundle, right but and I'll give my take
- 2:38Speaker 1: in a little bit on this year in the back
- 2:40Speaker 1: half of the show during the fight news and and
- 2:43Speaker 1: boxing Twitter stuff. But back to back pay per views,
- 2:48Speaker 1: even if it's a bundle just exposure wise, it doesn't
- 2:53Speaker 1: make a thing of sense, and you know, you always
- 2:57Speaker 1: go back to where there is the same criticism. Really,
- 3:03Speaker 1: it's if you look at Dione wise anyway, it's three
- 3:06Speaker 1: in a week. I mean, I don't know, man, and
- 3:10Speaker 1: then Puff out of thin air completely disappeared the twenty
- 3:18Speaker 1: five dollars in America pay per view price. It's gone now,
- 3:24Speaker 1: just magically gone. It's just kind of weird now. Of
- 3:28Speaker 1: course we're used to paying seventy five eighty four a
- 3:31Speaker 1: pay per view, but it's just I don't know. I'll
- 3:35Speaker 1: talk a little bit about that, you know, as the
- 3:39Speaker 1: show goes on. Here. If this is your first time

- 4:48Speaker 1: so you know, blootsa this man, this guy really put
- 4:56Speaker 1: on a show. You know, they did it in Atlantic City.
- 4:59Speaker 1: It was nice to see the folks come out to
- 5:01Speaker 1: Atlantic City. And for the most part, yeah, I'll mention
- 5:09Speaker 1: his defense, no doubt, but for the most part, he
- 5:13Speaker 1: really fought a discipline fight. He really did. And I
- 5:22Speaker 1: was extremely pleased of what I saw, not just you know,
- 5:25Speaker 1: making him quit and destroying him to the body, which
- 5:28Speaker 1: he had to do right away or not right away,
- 5:31Speaker 1: but you know that was the first thing to target,
- 5:33Speaker 1: especially in a high guard guy coming to you. Yeah, man,
- 5:40Speaker 1: this dude looks so damn sharp offensively, and like I said,
- 5:44Speaker 1: we'll talk about his defense a little bit, sure, but wow,
- 5:48Speaker 1: like that was like beyond a little bit of defensive issues,
- 5:54Speaker 1: the way he fought with the lateral movement, the pivoting,
- 5:58Speaker 1: you know, not hanging around and just being in a
- 6:02Speaker 1: bunch of exchanges. Yeah, he's gonna do it. We know
- 6:04Speaker 1: Boots is gonna exchange. But it was a hell of
- 6:08Speaker 1: an offensive display out there, and he started, you know,
- 6:12Speaker 1: jabbing at range on the outside targeting the body. In
- 6:16Speaker 1: the first round, right away, Stanionis landed a decent left hook.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Round two, few nice left hooks from Stanionis, but the
- 6:27Speaker 1: body attack in multiple flush shots to the head. The
- 6:32Speaker 1: third rep. That was the second round, third round, two
- 6:34Speaker 1: way round, no doubt, like a few really nice right
- 6:41Speaker 1: hands in a short left hand by Stanionis, but the
- 6:46Speaker 1: body work. Then he added the upper cut in there
- 6:50Speaker 1: to me and has still landed like the best in
- 6:54Speaker 1: that round, you know, even though it was a two
- 6:56Speaker 1: way round. In the fourth round, yeah, stany On has
- 7:02Speaker 1: landed a couple of good shots, sure, but the heavy
- 7:05Speaker 1: shots he was landed to the body. I was like, wow,
- 7:10Speaker 1: I do not think he's gonna last the distance. Now.
- 7:13Speaker 1: The fifth round, stany Oni is man. He had in
- 7:17Speaker 1: my opinion, he kind of had the round one there
- 7:23Speaker 1: for a while. Early Ennis had something especially you know,
- 7:28Speaker 1: some nice shots early. Now late I think he stole it.
- 7:31Speaker 1: But the left hooks in the short right hands, I
- 7:37Speaker 1: mean he was really I thought Stanionis was winning the round.
- 7:43Speaker 1: But by the end of it, especially late, with those
- 7:47Speaker 1: combinations and he bloodied up Stanny on his nose, I
- 7:53Speaker 1: think he stole that round. Ennis, I really do. Sixth
- 7:58Speaker 1: round comes around. It's a two way round until like
- 8:02Speaker 1: the last minute again, and I mean the body shots.
- 8:10Speaker 1: You know, body punches knocked them down, Don't get me wrong.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Stenios got up and started throwing them back. I'll give
- 8:19Speaker 1: him that, but it was brutal to the body. Let's
- 8:24Speaker 1: just put it that way. Absolutely brutal to the body.
- 8:28Speaker 1: And you know, they had a corner stoppage. A lot
- 8:33Speaker 1: of people when you know, fighters get stopped, they have
- 8:38Speaker 1: a lot to say about them or not get well
- 8:40Speaker 1: they get stopped. But like when they just you know,
- 8:43Speaker 1: don't answer the bell. You know, obviously you're gonna get
- 8:46Speaker 1: some shit from that, especially in social media, which I get.
- 8:52Speaker 1: And I thought he showed enough in the fight to
- 8:55Speaker 1: keep going. But I'm not in the ring taking those
- 8:58Speaker 1: shots and Obviously he wasn't saying, you know, no, I'm good,
- 9:03Speaker 1: let me go at least one more round, you know
- 9:05Speaker 1: what I mean, he wasn't saying that. So just a
- 9:08Speaker 1: complete performance and like I said, the defense, those left
- 9:12Speaker 1: hooks and then ultimately the right hands as well. You know,
- 9:15Speaker 1: he does get hit with a fair amount of flush shots,
- 9:20Speaker 1: and they tend to be the same shots. That's what
- 9:23Speaker 1: I you know, for quite some time now, that's really
- 9:26Speaker 1: the only thing that you can say like against them,
- 9:34Speaker 1: And so we haven't necessarily even seen it where Stanionius
- 9:39Speaker 1: has a good pop and he's shown some power or whatever,
- 9:43Speaker 1: you know, but he's not like heavy handed. So ultimately
- 9:47Speaker 1: when he gets to fifty four or even maybe a
- 9:50Speaker 1: Teo Fema Lopez or we'll see how Garcia looks at
- 9:57Speaker 1: at the forty seven pound weight, if in fact they'd
- 10:00Speaker 1: even put him in there with them. I don't think
- 10:02Speaker 1: they would. I think they would if Ryan Garcia well,
- 10:08Speaker 1: and that's a little ways off anyway, because they both
- 10:12Speaker 1: him and Hainey have to get through this fight. Then
- 10:14Speaker 1: they're gonna fight in October. And it's not like Boots
- 10:16Speaker 1: is gonna hang out till late December and wait for
- 10:19Speaker 1: the winner of that, you know, And that's why I'm
- 10:21Speaker 1: kind of looking at that Tao Fima Lopez and he's
- 10:24Speaker 1: still at forty seven. We don't know, but he's still
- 10:29Speaker 1: on the right night with the right style. He has
- 10:34Speaker 1: a lot of skills and he's he does have a
- 10:36Speaker 1: lot of power. Like I said, we'll see at forty seven.
- 10:40Speaker 1: But yeah, boots man, like I said, shirt he does
- 10:43Speaker 1: get hit with some clean shots. We get it, and
- 10:47Speaker 1: we'll see at fifty four if that does catch up
- 10:50Speaker 1: to him. But in a short amount of time twenty
- 10:54Speaker 1: six to ten on the Coompu box to the body,
- 10:59Speaker 1: the only thing Stanionis did was like land the jab. Well,
- 11:03Speaker 1: you know he did all right. I mean it was
- 11:05Speaker 1: eighty one to fifty eight overall, Like I said, he
- 11:09Speaker 1: did have some really good rounds in there. He scored
- 11:12Speaker 1: double digits one, two, three, four of the rounds, so
- 11:15Speaker 1: four out of the sixty he was able to land
- 11:18Speaker 1: double digits. But the fifth and sixth, I mean nineteen
- 11:22Speaker 1: punches landed and then followed up you know with fifteen.
- 11:27Speaker 1: It really hard shots. He wasn't going crazy, but the
- 11:30Speaker 1: combinations because he could have but that that's what I
- 11:33Speaker 1: did really like about Boots in that performance. Man. I
- 11:38Speaker 1: really like how he was being smart about it but
- 11:43Speaker 1: still doing damage, you know. So yeah, I uh, what
- 11:49Speaker 1: was it. I think the attendance was over ten thousand.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Like I said, it was nice to see Atlantic city bumping.
- 11:56Speaker 1: That is obviously a huge thing. But yeah, just a
- 12:01Speaker 1: really just a great performance. He put it all together
- 12:04Speaker 1: for the most part. Like I said, we can, we can,
- 12:09Speaker 1: you know, defensively, we can talk or whatever. But honestly, like,
- 12:14Speaker 1: I don't know, man, he looked really good. He looked phenomenal,
- 12:18Speaker 1: and I love, like I said, I'm repeating myself here,
- 12:21Speaker 1: but I did just really love how he wasn't getting
- 12:25Speaker 1: caught up in exchanges and sure getting hit with the
- 12:30Speaker 1: same shot. You know, if you're in there with the
- 12:33Speaker 1: right fighter, that could come back to haunt him. But
- 12:37Speaker 1: I just thought he fought it. That was his best
- 12:39Speaker 1: overall performance as a professional in my opinion. Whether you
- 12:45Speaker 1: think that's his best win or not, you know, I
- 12:47Speaker 1: guess that's debatable because Karen, you know, didn't get knocked out.
- 12:52Speaker 1: But we all know about the styles make fight stuff,
- 12:54Speaker 1: you know, so you gotta put that in there. But
- 12:59Speaker 1: Brian Norman does sound like he has a fight coming up,
- 13:04Speaker 1: and that would be in the summer, I believe, So
- 13:09Speaker 1: you know, will he just wait a little bit maybe,
- 13:12Speaker 1: you know, and then fight him in the early fall?
- 13:16Speaker 1: I mean it is April mid April, so that's the
- 13:21Speaker 1: only thing I don't wonder, you know. And Mario Barrios,
- 13:26Speaker 1: would that be something that can be made? Obviously he
- 13:33Speaker 1: has at that welterweight division anyway, he has some you know,
- 13:37Speaker 1: form of name. But he may just wait a couple
- 13:40Speaker 1: of weeks and try to take on tail Fema Lopez,
- 13:43Speaker 1: and if the Sadis are involved, there's a good chance that,
- 13:48Speaker 1: you know, that fight could be made then because the
- 13:51Speaker 1: money will be I guess more right, you know, for him.
- 13:56Speaker 1: So you know, we know that Tayo Femo sometimes not
- 14:03Speaker 1: the easiest to deal with or negotiate with sometimes. But
- 14:08Speaker 1: obviously he's overvalued himself many a times, you know, But
- 14:13Speaker 1: a lot of times that's you know, sometimes it's actually
- 14:16Speaker 1: in the fight that he didn't take, but a lot
- 14:18Speaker 1: of times that's just him him talking. So yeah, just
- 14:23Speaker 1: a great performance, and you know, I would if I
- 14:27Speaker 1: were him, I would see how ta Femo does against
- 14:31Speaker 1: Barbosa and look for that fight in the fall or
- 14:38Speaker 1: you know whatever. If they want to do it in October,
- 14:41Speaker 1: then then I think it's worth doing too, Femo. If not,
- 14:44Speaker 1: you know, maybe you can sneak in two more fights.
- 14:47Speaker 1: It might be a scenario where you sneak in one
- 14:50Speaker 1: fight and then fight early twenty twenty six, so the
- 14:54Speaker 1: two belt holders, Norman Junior, you could wait that out
- 15:01Speaker 1: and have him quick turnaround or somewhat you know, modern
- 15:05Speaker 1: day quick turnaround anyway, And I don't know, maybe Barrios
- 15:11Speaker 1: Barrios is rumored. I did see a rumor earlier that
- 15:15Speaker 1: he's rumored to maybe fight Spets, So you know, I
- 15:20Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, like I said, if it's on
- 15:23Speaker 1: a Saudi card, then then all of a sudden, Barrios
- 15:27Speaker 1: might go. But if not, and it's just coming out
- 15:32Speaker 1: of Mattroom's pocket, we'll see now. And also is it
- 15:37Speaker 1: a three fight deal? Was it a three fight deal
- 15:41Speaker 1: or a four fight deal with Mattrum, So we'll see.
- 15:46Speaker 1: He has a lot of options if he stays at
- 15:49Speaker 1: forty seven, he does have options, you know. So hell
- 15:54Speaker 1: of a performance by Boots, you know, at the down
- 15:59Speaker 1: the show straction, she was still plus one forty four,
- 16:02Speaker 1: So I had to take a knockout, and like I
- 16:07Speaker 1: mentioned before, I did take those super high put a
- 16:10Speaker 1: little money on it just in case it happened, and
- 16:14Speaker 1: it would basically cover what I you know, more than
- 16:17Speaker 1: cover what I would have put down what I put
- 16:19Speaker 1: down on the KO. So I did put what was it,
- 16:23Speaker 1: plus eight hundred something on a decision in almost a
- 16:28Speaker 1: plus thousands, like a plus nine hundred something on Stoneham Stanonius.
- 16:32Speaker 1: But that was just a just in case thing. I
- 16:36Speaker 1: did think though, that Stanonius would win, or I mean,
- 16:40Speaker 1: not win, but get to the twelfth round, and if
- 16:45Speaker 1: there was gonna be a TKO like it was, I
- 16:48Speaker 1: didn't envision a TKO if it was give me a knockout.
- 16:51Speaker 1: But you know, it's like he definitely like he definitely
- 17:03Speaker 1: stopped him earlier than I thought. I thought it'd be
- 17:06Speaker 1: a little later. Raymond Ford, Thomas Matisse, Thomas Thomas Matisse
- 17:13Speaker 1: that it wasn't much, man, It really wasn't. Ford right
- 17:19Speaker 1: off the bat, landing clean shots, you know, hooks to
- 17:22Speaker 1: the head and body, you know, some straight left hands
- 17:27Speaker 1: by Matisse. But he just needed to throw more punches.
- 17:33Speaker 1: He just he just wasn't doing much like in the
- 17:36Speaker 1: fourth round for example. You know, he had a nice jab,
- 17:40Speaker 1: a late right hand that lanted pretty good some left
- 17:44Speaker 1: this is like the last part to some less to
- 17:46Speaker 1: the body. But overall, you know, he just beyond some
- 17:52Speaker 1: very very limited success matissee just you know, I did
- 17:57Speaker 1: like the looping right, right hands kind of getting in
- 17:59Speaker 1: there right hooks, I should say by Ford. I mean,
- 18:02Speaker 1: but through seven rounds it was ninety six to twenty
- 18:05Speaker 1: for punch stats, you know, very easy win. You know,
- 18:12Speaker 1: you could say that Ford took his foot off the
- 18:15Speaker 1: gas the last couple of rounds. I would say that
- 18:18Speaker 1: would be the only uh, that'd probably be the only
- 18:21Speaker 1: criticism I'd have. And I don't really think that's a criticism.
- 18:24Speaker 1: I think it's just it's just factual, right, I'm not
- 18:27Speaker 1: ripping them too bad. But that was the only thing
- 18:30Speaker 1: you probably could have picked up the pace and see
- 18:35Speaker 1: if he get him out of there. But it will
- 18:39Speaker 1: be interesting to see what's next for Raymond Ford as well.
- 18:45Speaker 1: I don't know, Like he talked about Oshaki Foster and
- 18:50Speaker 1: he said, you know, like I'd whip him and stuff
- 18:53Speaker 1: like that, Like he didn't. He didn't seem too worried
- 18:55Speaker 1: about him. Obviously that's just talk. But yeah, I mean,
- 19:02Speaker 1: you know, he uh, he put on a good, good display.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm not gonna say he was just
- 19:08Speaker 1: playing with this food per se. But I did think
- 19:13Speaker 1: he you know, like I mentioned foot off the gas,
- 19:17Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Also, what else? Uh oh
- 19:23Speaker 1: uh Shaw Steven Shaw. I think it was the first round,
- 19:30Speaker 1: just a two punch combo man, nasty left hook right hand.
- 19:36Speaker 1: I think it was a left hook. I don't think
- 19:37Speaker 1: it was JA. I think it was like a short
- 19:38Speaker 1: left hook right hand. Not dude out that was that was.
- 19:44Speaker 1: That was a nasty knockout, very nasty knockout. So yeah,
- 19:52Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go too much further. You know, for
- 19:55Speaker 1: some reason I thought that this weekend, well was the
- 20:00Speaker 1: weekend where they had the first pro card in Cuba
- 20:06Speaker 1: and it was on YouTube. I watched some of it
- 20:08Speaker 1: La Cruz and Prosavic or whatever. I watched some of
- 20:12Speaker 1: it Arislona Yel Alvarez and Arlene Lopez, and so that
- 20:19Speaker 1: was cool. For some reason, I thought it was this weekend.
- 20:21Speaker 1: It kind of threw me off. Speaking of this weekend,
- 20:25Speaker 1: we do have that it just it actually started today
- 20:31Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia on his own. It's that, you know,
- 20:34Speaker 1: it's that uh, the boxing Grand Prix. So it's just
- 20:38Speaker 1: single elimination, thirty two fighters per division. And I caught
- 20:45Speaker 1: a little bit of the action earlier today. I'm not
- 20:49Speaker 1: gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna watch every fight,
- 20:51Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But once they start to
- 20:54Speaker 1: get to the final and all that will start to
- 20:58Speaker 1: you know, then I'll start to need more attention. And
- 21:01Speaker 1: it's one of those things that like I don't know,
- 21:07Speaker 1: like if you it's like, okay, well these two are
- 21:12Speaker 1: in the final. Okay, well maybe I'll watch the paths
- 21:15Speaker 1: of how they got there. If someone really, you know,
- 21:17Speaker 1: does well in the final, maybe I'll go back then
- 21:21Speaker 1: and kind of backtrack and see what else that that
- 21:24Speaker 1: fighter did, or if it was a really tight fight,
- 21:27Speaker 1: who had the tougher route, go back and watch those
- 21:29Speaker 1: fights because they're not long fights. So but but I'm
- 21:32Speaker 1: not going to break them all down. Box Red Gray,
- 21:36Speaker 1: that's your guy. That's your guy with that, okay, like
- 21:40Speaker 1: he is well with a lot of stuff. So yeah,
- 21:44Speaker 1: that that is something that I'll be keeping an eye on.
- 21:48Speaker 1: I'll definitely be keeping an eyeon, but it's nothing that
- 21:51Speaker 1: I'm going to individually break down a bunch of the fights.
- 21:59Speaker 1: So yeah, that that's that's about it. Omari Jones scored
- 22:04Speaker 1: a knockout as well, Moses, So yeah, you know this
- 22:10Speaker 1: weekend coming up. Of course, you know I just mentioned
- 22:14Speaker 1: that that tournament and there are fights. Of course, there's
- 22:19Speaker 1: always fights, right, but it's it is a little light.
- 22:24Speaker 1: It is a little light, you know. Funny enough, kobelev
- 22:31Speaker 1: is taking on this is a Facebook and YouTube I believe,
- 22:35Speaker 1: I think it's both, but taking on our term man.
- 22:40Speaker 1: So he's back in action, Sergey, so that's a free fight.
- 22:45Speaker 1: I mentioned the the Grand Prix that's on his own
- 22:51Speaker 1: and you know, like the Zone also has an Orlando
- 22:56Speaker 1: card as well. It's like a pro respect Kevin Brown,
- 23:02Speaker 1: El Alpha, I think it is. You have Hendri Sedano,
- 23:09Speaker 1: you have Peril Linear Piero. You know that's something I
- 23:14Speaker 1: think worth keep an eye on there. And it's it
- 23:19Speaker 1: goes does it go through Sunday? I think it's a
- 23:23Speaker 1: seventeenth through the twentieth that that Grand Prix. So it
- 23:28Speaker 1: is in Smith that there is a card on Saturday.
- 23:33Speaker 1: Dalton Smith as well, he's fighting, and Dalton Smith's pretty
- 23:37Speaker 1: solid fighter. Obviously, there are some other stuff on that,
- 23:43Speaker 1: you know, on that card you also have Fundora, right,
- 23:49Speaker 1: Gabrielle Fandora, she's fighting show that's onto his own as
- 23:54Speaker 1: well at night. I guess seven am it's saying, I
- 24:00Speaker 1: think from the Grand Prix. But yeah, Whittaker, it's kind
- 24:07Speaker 1: of like, you know, one of the main fights. Obviously
- 24:10Speaker 1: it is. I think, well, Fundora is a damn you know,
- 24:15Speaker 1: she's a damn good fighter. She's a very young up
- 24:17Speaker 1: and coming I mean not even up and coming, she's
- 24:20Speaker 1: she's ready to go right now. But Ben Whittaker, you know,
- 24:24Speaker 1: the rematch, it's basically like can he improve on you
- 24:29Speaker 1: know the first fight that that's basically what it is.
- 24:35Speaker 1: You know, it's I think it's uh, I believe it's
- 24:37Speaker 1: a ten rounder, so you know, it is something that
- 24:42Speaker 1: you know, he had a draw and it's been a
- 24:44Speaker 1: little while. I think it was last fall sometime, so
- 24:49Speaker 1: he's taking on Cameron, you know, Liam Cameron, and you
- 24:53Speaker 1: know the things he's entertaining. Obviously, Ben Whittaker, he definitely is.
- 24:59Speaker 1: You know, by the way, Fraser Clark is also on
- 25:02Speaker 1: the card. Lee Cutler and Sam Eggington. But the thing
- 25:07Speaker 1: about Ben Whittaker, I don't mind a guy that's gonna
- 25:11Speaker 1: be flashy, right, but there there is a point where
- 25:19Speaker 1: you gotta how do I say, you gotta be being
- 25:24Speaker 1: Flashy's fine, but it's gotta be like in my in
- 25:28Speaker 1: my opinion, like efficient and very effective, Like you're effectively
- 25:34Speaker 1: just showing somebody up writing clown. He clowns a lot.
- 25:39Speaker 1: But if he lands a clean punch and then clowns
- 25:43Speaker 1: and then clean punch, punch and clown, you know that's different.
- 25:47Speaker 1: But it some some rounds, I'll say, And in that
- 25:51Speaker 1: fight it was kind of like, you know, all your
- 25:54Speaker 1: style is fun to watch, dude, no doubt, but if
- 25:57Speaker 1: you're not winning the round cleanly at this at this
- 26:01Speaker 1: level because you don't have to win all the rounds
- 26:08Speaker 1: cleanly once you start going up and level, but it's
- 26:11Speaker 1: not really at a high level. So I do think
- 26:14Speaker 1: you should be winning it way more clean at times
- 26:18Speaker 1: in this fight. And like I said, some rounds here
- 26:21Speaker 1: and there. This is what is only ten fight or
- 26:24Speaker 1: something that he's eight and one, So I think he'll
- 26:29Speaker 1: I wouldn't doubt if he stops him, but I do
- 26:32Speaker 1: think he'll it'll be a little bit more about business.
- 26:38Speaker 1: The one thing I'll say is he hasn't been stopped.
- 26:42Speaker 1: And you know, I'm not even trying to rip on
- 26:45Speaker 1: this dude by any stretch, because I guess you could
- 26:50Speaker 1: say one of his best losses, well, his best loss
- 26:53Speaker 1: is probably uh Lyndon Arthur. I would I would have
- 26:57Speaker 1: to say that, and that was that was a it
- 27:00Speaker 1: was a split decision, and it went ten rounds, you
- 27:03Speaker 1: know what I mean. And there was some point deduction
- 27:09Speaker 1: in her, but that was close. So I'm not trying
- 27:12Speaker 1: to say that this guy's nowhere near his level and stuff.
- 27:17Speaker 1: It was a good test for him, but now that
- 27:19Speaker 1: he's been in there, this guy doesn't really have a
- 27:21Speaker 1: lot of power. If you could go out and the stoppage,
- 27:25Speaker 1: I don't know if he has the style to stop
- 27:27Speaker 1: him because he he has so much fun in there
- 27:31Speaker 1: that he's not really the punches aren't adding up, if
- 27:37Speaker 1: that makes sense. So I'm gonna call for a lake TKO.
- 27:41Speaker 1: But it really wouldn't surprise me if he just won decision.
- 27:47Speaker 1: It really obviously that wouldn't That wouldn't surprise me whatsoever.
- 27:53Speaker 1: But it is just a hey, dude, you were on
- 27:55Speaker 1: like a interesting path as a prospect trying to become
- 27:59Speaker 1: a content. You got a flashy style. People are either
- 28:02Speaker 1: gonna love it or hate it. Maybe they get used
- 28:05Speaker 1: to it. But like I said, I'm not it's not
- 28:09Speaker 1: the clowning. That's like, man, But you gotta handle your
- 28:12Speaker 1: business and win cleanly if you're really gonna do some
- 28:16Speaker 1: stuff at the high level. But like I mentioned that
- 28:18Speaker 1: color Eggington, that's a pick him fight, and I wouldn't
- 28:22Speaker 1: be shocked. Last I checked, it was like plus one forty. Yeah,
- 28:26Speaker 1: that's what it did. There is plus one thirty five.
- 28:29Speaker 1: There is a plus one thirty five at DraftKings. I
- 28:33Speaker 1: wouldn't doubt if Eggington was this fight. But he is,
- 28:36Speaker 1: you know, a little bit long in the tooth like
- 28:40Speaker 1: they say. But that's you know, a very close fight
- 28:46Speaker 1: on paper. So plus one thirty five plus one forty
- 28:51Speaker 1: something like that, that's that's barely an underdog, you know.
- 28:55Speaker 1: So I do think that is probably one of the
- 29:01Speaker 1: closest match fight, if not the closest match fight. There
- 29:05Speaker 1: is one more that happens on Friday. What is it
- 29:10Speaker 1: or is that Saturday? No, it's Friday. No, it's Saturday.
- 29:15Speaker 1: Where is it? Oh it's uh Nakagama and Kim that's
- 29:22Speaker 1: on paper plus one's twenty plus one twenty five. That
- 29:25Speaker 1: actually is like because Yoshino in Choya, that's that could
- 29:30Speaker 1: be a good fight too. So yeah, it's not you know,
- 29:35Speaker 1: it's one of those week. And Ryan Kelly's on the
- 29:37Speaker 1: card as well. I mentioned that, or you know, fighting
- 29:42Speaker 1: this week, and don't smiss and have a problem, you know,
- 29:46Speaker 1: with with his guy. If he does, that might be
- 29:48Speaker 1: a little that's not a good thing. But overall, you know,
- 29:53Speaker 1: nothing stands way out in some sense, but it is.
- 30:02Speaker 1: It is. You know, Fraser Clark fights, he shouldn't have
- 30:05Speaker 1: a problem either. But yeah, I do kind of want
- 30:08Speaker 1: to see Ben Whittaker just like in a sense get
- 30:12Speaker 1: on his good foot and just kind of get back
- 30:15Speaker 1: to doing what he was doing because he there is
- 30:19Speaker 1: there's room for his style obviously. You know he's uh,
- 30:24Speaker 1: he's a fun fighter to watch, man, he is a
- 30:27Speaker 1: fun fighter to watch. I will give him that. Let's see.
- 30:37Speaker 1: Do I think that's gonna be about it? So, like
- 30:46Speaker 1: I said, we got the pay per view stuff. We
- 30:49Speaker 1: finally got you know what the pay per view price
- 30:52Speaker 1: is gonna be on Friday and Saturday, and I wondered
- 30:55Speaker 1: when I first heard the announcement, I knew one was
- 30:59Speaker 1: here obviously, as far as the Friday night fight that's
- 31:04Speaker 1: gonna be in Times Square, and so I get like
- 31:10Speaker 1: the attention it's gonna draw fight week, and some people
- 31:15Speaker 1: are I don't. I don't think it's I don't think
- 31:19Speaker 1: it adds up to complaining about this event for people
- 31:26Speaker 1: that can't go to the fight, because I mean, you can't.
- 31:33Speaker 1: You're not gonna build a big stadium there or you know,
- 31:37Speaker 1: even a ten thousand or five thousand, You're just not
- 31:40Speaker 1: gonna do that, you know what I mean. It's more
- 31:42Speaker 1: of just like a cool thing, you know what I mean.
- 31:48Speaker 1: It's more of just a cool thing. And so I
- 31:51Speaker 1: understand Ryan Garcia, you know, more than likely he's gonna
- 31:55Speaker 1: be a pay per view fighter, you know, from here
- 31:59Speaker 1: on out. So I do understand that part of it, right,
- 32:05Speaker 1: And then they are gonna time it Canelos fight. They
- 32:09Speaker 1: are gonna time it where he's gonna be more in
- 32:15Speaker 1: prime time here. So that does make sense obviously, But
- 32:20Speaker 1: to me, it's like to have him back to back
- 32:23Speaker 1: nights though, I just and then the twenty five just disappeared.
- 32:29Speaker 1: So the best what was billed as the best card
- 32:32Speaker 1: of all time right now turns around and it was
- 32:39Speaker 1: only twenty five dollars and that was a big note.
- 32:42Speaker 1: It was a big selling piece in general, and it
- 32:45Speaker 1: made he made it sound like Turkey and people you know,
- 32:49Speaker 1: connected to Turkey, like that was gonna be you know,
- 32:56Speaker 1: like that was gonna be what, you know, what the
- 32:59Speaker 1: price is going to be moving forward. And I didn't
- 33:04Speaker 1: think that for I gotta admit I didn't think that
- 33:07Speaker 1: for Canelos fights. You know, I wasn't gonna go there.
- 33:10Speaker 1: But I thought maybe just maybe in Turkey. Just was
- 33:16Speaker 1: on a show the other day, like yesterday or the
- 33:19Speaker 1: day before saying like, you know, we're gonna make it's
- 33:23Speaker 1: basically like I'm drawing, as you know, a line in
- 33:26Speaker 1: the sand, you know, like I'm I'm literally putting my
- 33:30Speaker 1: foot down on these pay per views, you know, and
- 33:32Speaker 1: if you get them too high, people steal them. Right. Well,
- 33:37Speaker 1: we found out about that card, which actually I think
- 33:42Speaker 1: it did probably the best out of any other any
- 33:44Speaker 1: of the Saudi cars on pay per view in my opinion.
- 33:47Speaker 1: That's what it looked like here in the States anyway.
- 33:49Speaker 1: But it's he found out whether you charged fifty or
- 33:57Speaker 1: seventy five or even twenty five, if people want people
- 34:02Speaker 1: know about the fight and want it, they're gonna get
- 34:04Speaker 1: it a seventy dollars, eighty dollars or fifty dollars. It's
- 34:09Speaker 1: not gonna change now. As a hardcore fight fan. Sure
- 34:14Speaker 1: it's saving me some money, you know what I mean,
- 34:17Speaker 1: It is saving me some money, But it just to
- 34:21Speaker 1: do him back to back though. It goes back to
- 34:24Speaker 1: that exposure, like, how are you growing? We keep hearing
- 34:31Speaker 1: that this has been always He's gonna grow the sport.
- 34:34Speaker 1: It's gonna be globally okay, so he kept he's saying
- 34:37Speaker 1: twenty five and down in some places, twenty in down,
- 34:41Speaker 1: you know, and obviously the biggest market UK, Japan, Australia.
- 34:47Speaker 1: Those are some markets you can really sell to, or
- 34:49Speaker 1: somewhat sell to, anyway, I should say. But the thing
- 34:54Speaker 1: of it is, it's like that's not really you're not
- 34:57Speaker 1: really doing the the UK a favor by keeping it
- 35:02Speaker 1: like that's the normal price. So that'd be like saying, oh,
- 35:06Speaker 1: we're keeping the price down, it's only going to be
- 35:08Speaker 1: seventy five here, in the States, Well, that's not really
- 35:10Speaker 1: keeping the price down. In the UK, that's not keeping
- 35:13Speaker 1: the price down. In Australia, that's not keeping the price. Now,
- 35:16Speaker 1: I don't know how the japan pay per views are,
- 35:19Speaker 1: you know, I've seen it some numbers, but I don't
- 35:22Speaker 1: know steadily what they are. But it's just the fact
- 35:26Speaker 1: that the zone in Saudi Turkey right has three pay
- 35:31Speaker 1: per views in a week, and like I said, Friday
- 35:35Speaker 1: and Saturday, and I get it, these are expensive cards.
- 35:38Speaker 1: But like, if you don't care about the revenue, why
- 35:43Speaker 1: is this you know, sixty dollars, then you know, Garcia
- 35:50Speaker 1: Romero sixty dollars, Canello Skull sixty dollars. You can package
- 35:55Speaker 1: them for ninety dollars, so basically forty five dollars. So
- 36:02Speaker 1: twenty five forty five, sixty five eighty five. It's not
- 36:05Speaker 1: gonna make that big of a difference, man, it really isn't.
- 36:08Speaker 1: And that's that's what this tells you right here. If
- 36:15Speaker 1: if charging twenty five would create volume enough to make
- 36:20Speaker 1: the money, or make the same amount of money you
- 36:23Speaker 1: would for a you know, a sixty dollars pay per
- 36:26Speaker 1: view or eighty dollars, then they do it. But that's
- 36:30Speaker 1: never been a thing. Like I said, hardcorees, it's great,
- 36:34Speaker 1: you know, even when they used to put them in
- 36:36Speaker 1: the theater a lot more Obviously the PVC didn't on
- 36:39Speaker 1: Fox did a lot of Canelos fights weren't there Mayweather
- 36:42Speaker 1: fights were in there. I saw both two out of
- 36:46Speaker 1: the three Canelo glovekins in the theater. I saw two
- 36:51Speaker 1: out of the three of the Wilder Fury in the theater,
- 36:54Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, when when Fox had their deal
- 36:57Speaker 1: with PBC before a year, four pay per views a year,
- 37:00Speaker 1: but and so I would go to about three out
- 37:02Speaker 1: of the four it would be, you know, in the theater,
- 37:05Speaker 1: so I would save money, you know, it'd be seventy
- 37:08Speaker 1: five dollars for three pay per views, and then i'd
- 37:11Speaker 1: you know, then it'd be at some places, you know
- 37:14Speaker 1: for seventy five or whatever and watch it somewhere somewhere
- 37:17Speaker 1: else orund my house or a friend's house or whatever.
- 37:20Speaker 1: So I was saving them, and that was cool, you know,
- 37:23Speaker 1: as a hardcore perspective, that was cool. I like the
- 37:25Speaker 1: environment of the theater, the live crowds, you know, it's
- 37:29Speaker 1: just you get to pick your seat and then you
- 37:31Speaker 1: can go out to, you know, have a couple of
- 37:33Speaker 1: drinks if that's what you're gonna do. Put something in
- 37:35Speaker 1: the air, if that's what you think into, or just
- 37:38Speaker 1: hang out with some friends. It was a good excuse
- 37:40Speaker 1: to hang out with some friends as well, but they
- 37:42Speaker 1: weren't back to back nights. And if the PBCNL Hayman
- 37:46Speaker 1: did back to back pay per views in three in
- 37:50Speaker 1: in seven days, it would be ridiculous. It would be
- 37:55Speaker 1: totally ridiculous. So people are saying, oh, dude, that I mean,
- 37:58Speaker 1: I'd pay ninety bucks for some payper news anyway, that's cool.
- 38:03Speaker 1: Well look at the two main events though. You know,
- 38:07Speaker 1: once again, it just it. These things don't get the
- 38:11Speaker 1: same critique that the PBC got. It's just that's just
- 38:15Speaker 1: a factual statement. I get it. Ryan Garcia is going
- 38:18Speaker 1: to be on pay per view from here on out,
- 38:20Speaker 1: more likely unless he goes to like Netflix for a
- 38:23Speaker 1: fight or something. Right, But to do it on back
- 38:26Speaker 1: to back nights, it's just it's ridiculous, dude. And then
- 38:30Speaker 1: you jack the price back up. He was saying twenty
- 38:33Speaker 1: five bucks and then all of a sudden we get here, Well,
- 38:38Speaker 1: it's really how about forty five if you bundle it.
- 38:41Speaker 1: I'm just saying that, don't tell me about the growth
- 38:44Speaker 1: of the sport if this is the scenario, because you're
- 38:50Speaker 1: not growing the fucking sport. You're not. You know, you're
- 38:55Speaker 1: just not not this way, not with back to back
- 38:59Speaker 1: pay per views. And then events are very poor main
- 39:02Speaker 1: events for a pay per view, Okay, they just are.
- 39:06Speaker 1: Uh Roly looks after his last or two fights ago,
- 39:12Speaker 1: was it? He didn't. He didn't. He didn't look good, dude,
- 39:15Speaker 1: he looked pretty bad, you know. And so if you
- 39:18Speaker 1: you know, if you're gonna critique h Tank a little
- 39:22Speaker 1: while back, right for years back taking on really cool, Okay, fine,
- 39:26Speaker 1: I got you turned out to be okay, fight whatever,
- 39:30Speaker 1: but you have to be critical here then, you know,
- 39:35Speaker 1: and then the next night it's Canelo skull like it's
- 39:39Speaker 1: just weird. Anyway, that's my rant. But I was not.
- 39:44Speaker 1: For one. I did not. It's no surprise to me
- 39:49Speaker 1: that that that is not twenty five anymore. You know. Now,
- 39:53Speaker 1: I'm sure there will be some cards will it will
- 39:55Speaker 1: be twenty five, but you know, anyway, let's get into
- 40:01Speaker 1: some fight news. I saw that Abdulam Mason is staying
- 40:07Speaker 1: busy June seventh, Northfolk on the Kishon Dip. By the way,
- 40:14Speaker 1: Kishon Davis, Edwin Delo Santos is a done deal. The
- 40:18Speaker 1: last time June seventh on ESPN, the last time I
- 40:23Speaker 1: spoke with you guys last weekend, it you know, they
- 40:28Speaker 1: were saying that that fights off because you know, Edwin
- 40:33Speaker 1: del Santos was pricing himself out. I guess he wasn't, right,
- 40:37Speaker 1: that's what everybody was saying. I guess he wasn't. But yeah,
- 40:41Speaker 1: he returns against Jeremiah Nakatila Nakatila in a ten round
- 40:49Speaker 1: code feature. That's a very good fight for him. I
- 40:52Speaker 1: like that step up fight. That's a very very very
- 40:55Speaker 1: solid fight. And you know, Shakur Stevens in last week
- 41:01Speaker 1: I mentioned just tweet, you know, saying some shit like
- 41:05Speaker 1: he's calling. Like I understand what he was saying, Like
- 41:09Speaker 1: they they offered him some money for you know, Zipata,
- 41:14Speaker 1: and then when it comes to making the fight, now
- 41:16Speaker 1: this time it was different money. So yeah, I can
- 41:18Speaker 1: understand saying, wait a second, you switch the money on me.
- 41:21Speaker 1: So I get that now. Whether they switched the money
- 41:24Speaker 1: again on him and raised it back to what it was,
- 41:27Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess we'll find out. But he
- 41:30Speaker 1: really stood his ground and was like, you know, he
- 41:35Speaker 1: was saying, at least you could say it to my
- 41:36Speaker 1: face and not send people. And the way he said
- 41:39Speaker 1: that was pretty fucked up, I got, admit, but his
- 41:42Speaker 1: point was well taken. I thought, like it did without
- 41:46Speaker 1: the towelhead thing. I didn't have a problem with what
- 41:50Speaker 1: he was saying though, because yeah, man, if they're willing
- 41:53Speaker 1: to pay you that, then they're not. That is messed up.
- 41:55Speaker 1: But and he said, you know, he was talking about
- 41:59Speaker 1: integrity and all this stuff. And then and then he
- 42:02Speaker 1: tweets excited about my next fight. It was misunderstanding Turkey
- 42:07Speaker 1: and in the team. My apologies on my part for overreacting.
- 42:11Speaker 1: Let's work Turkey. So maybe he's back, Maybe he's back
- 42:17Speaker 1: in the mix, and that you know, I don't know.
- 42:20Speaker 1: I really don't know if he's back in the mix
- 42:22Speaker 1: all the way with it. But you know, it was
- 42:25Speaker 1: a quick one to eighty. Let's say that. So and
- 42:29Speaker 1: then we hear about Abdullah Mason in Floyd's Schofield, right
- 42:36Speaker 1: and Floyd's Pops And this is it, man, When you
- 42:40Speaker 1: when you start you're negotiating on Twitter, it usually doesn't
- 42:46Speaker 1: end well, man, it just doesn't. And it's just funny
- 42:50Speaker 1: because right away he said, yeah, dude, we'll fight Abdulla
- 42:52Speaker 1: Mason for two point five million, only for two point
- 42:56Speaker 1: put the money on the table. We'll fight that. Man.
- 42:58Speaker 1: It's like, you're gonna fight I had a guy who's
- 43:01Speaker 1: just getting into contender range for two point five. It's
- 43:09Speaker 1: just kind of like, what'd you say? So, yeah, when
- 43:14Speaker 1: I saw that, I said, okay, well that so that
- 43:16Speaker 1: means that fight's not happening. Naji added that his sources
- 43:23Speaker 1: tell him that Abduel Mason's team offered Kid Austin the
- 43:26Speaker 1: same price he was offered to fight Chaqurt one point one.
- 43:30Speaker 1: So if that's true, then it's like, all right, dude,
- 43:34Speaker 1: so you you were gonna fight Shakur for one point one,
- 43:37Speaker 1: but you need two point five to fight Abdullah like
- 43:41Speaker 1: what Like it's just so it's just weird. But Keishaan
- 43:44Speaker 1: Davis is now a brand ambassador for Ring and Saudi
- 43:49Speaker 1: and all that, so that helps him with the big fights.
- 43:55Speaker 1: Let's put it that way. So it'll be we'll see
- 43:58Speaker 1: what ended. You know, edwin daye O Santo's offers, you
- 44:03Speaker 1: know in that fight. We'll see how that goes. We'll
- 44:07Speaker 1: see how that goes. Well, let's see here, let's get
- 44:12Speaker 1: through some Oh I did hear the rumor of and
- 44:17Speaker 1: this makes sense unfortunately, but Jake Paul against Julio Caesar
- 44:22Speaker 1: Chavez Junior this summer. Stephen Fulton put up basically like
- 44:28Speaker 1: I just signed a fight tweet the other day, So
- 44:32Speaker 1: we'll see, you know, if that's something that you know,
- 44:38Speaker 1: is Oshaki Foster or if it's you know, Vargas or
- 44:44Speaker 1: something like that, we'll see. I'm not totally sure, but
- 44:49Speaker 1: we will see. I saw this on Danny Frost Danny
- 44:52Speaker 1: Boy Frost on Twitter. Shiraz is confirmed he will move
- 44:56Speaker 1: up and wait and trained under Annie Lee in Dublin.
- 45:00Speaker 1: So he has Whittaker as well in Joe Parker. So,
- 45:07Speaker 1: but Norman will be fighting late June or early July
- 45:11Speaker 1: in Japan. So we thought, and it's uh, what is
- 45:17Speaker 1: it Sakawi or Sakawi. I can't remember the guy's name,
- 45:21Speaker 1: but it sounds like it's gonna be on the undercard
- 45:24Speaker 1: of Canciro Taraji. So you know, if you gotta, if
- 45:31Speaker 1: you wait till July and he comes to unscathed you'll
- 45:35Speaker 1: be fighting in the fall anyway. For I'm talking about Boots,
- 45:37Speaker 1: you know. So he probably should just stay screw it
- 45:42Speaker 1: and just and just try to get the fight with
- 45:45Speaker 1: Tayo Femo as long as he beats Barbosa, which is
- 45:48Speaker 1: not like a done deal. Obviously we can't we can't
- 45:51Speaker 1: go respect them or disrespect him. I should say, uh,
- 45:56Speaker 1: but yeah, Toby Morgan said that Mario Barrio trainer Mario
- 46:02Speaker 1: Barrios trainer Bob Santo says PBC has informed him that
- 46:06Speaker 1: a title defense versus fense could be next. Obviously, if
- 46:12Speaker 1: they put that in Dallas or Vegas, it would do
- 46:14Speaker 1: pretty good. Here's some boxing Twitter stuff. Another PBC hype
- 46:19Speaker 1: job got exposed, right, and so Stanionis was a hype job.
- 46:24Speaker 1: Even though he was a pretty clean favorite or underdog.
- 46:30Speaker 1: He was a plus was it four hundred four fifty?
- 46:35Speaker 1: Like just straight up I mentioned it's well over plus
- 46:38Speaker 1: eight hundred for decision in almost plus a thousand for
- 46:44Speaker 1: winning by knockout. So a hype job. Who I didn't
- 46:50Speaker 1: hear many people at all say that, you know, Stanielis
- 46:55Speaker 1: is gonna win, He's the next blah blah blah on paper,
- 46:59Speaker 1: it looked like the bestpy that one. Uh maybe Brian Norman,
- 47:04Speaker 1: maybe Toyo Fima Lopez, you know, could do his thing.
- 47:07Speaker 1: You know, we'll see Adrian Delgado. Hell of a performance
- 47:12Speaker 1: by Boots. He landed the explosive agar shots breaking down.
- 47:15Speaker 1: Stanionis a dynamic fighter whose looks to entertain. Three fights
- 47:19Speaker 1: in nine months kept him sharp, well put, very well
- 47:24Speaker 1: put per usual. Oh yeah, and that Hergovic Sanchez for
- 47:29Speaker 1: September October. It seems like that's gonna get done. What
- 47:37Speaker 1: else got here? Just kind of going over? Oh here,
- 47:44Speaker 1: here's talking about Stanonius. Absolutely zero rebuttal from stanionis what
- 47:49Speaker 1: happened to the sport? I love motherfuckers get dropped one
- 47:53Speaker 1: time and call it quits. To think I felt bad
- 47:55Speaker 1: for this guy. When Virgil kept getting sick the whole time,
- 47:58Speaker 1: he would have been the same shit against him. This
- 48:01Speaker 1: is the thing what happened to the sport I love? Well,
- 48:05Speaker 1: what I mean, do you know who Roberto Duran is? Dude? No,
- 48:08Speaker 1: I love me some Roberto Duran. But you know, calm
- 48:11Speaker 1: down a little bit, Stanionius. He did quit on the stool,
- 48:15Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. But you know, like what
- 48:20Speaker 1: happened to my sport? You know, it's like all right, dude,
- 48:24Speaker 1: like it's not that bad, you know, calm down a
- 48:30Speaker 1: little bit. Not long ago the forty forty year celebration
- 48:37Speaker 1: for the Hagler Hearns happened. Man that it's still just
- 48:45Speaker 1: if you look at high level fight, I mean, you
- 48:49Speaker 1: really can't beat that, just as far as a brawl.
- 48:52Speaker 1: I did see Ring magazine Olexander Russe Daniel Dubois who
- 48:56Speaker 1: has set July twelfth Wembley Stadium. Yes, yes, sign me up.
- 49:03Speaker 1: I also saw brunch boxing shots out to brunch boxing
- 49:06Speaker 1: on the brunch Boxing on Twitter account that you had
- 49:09Speaker 1: Louis de Cuba Junior and Oscar sitting there with Turkey,
- 49:13Speaker 1: and Turkey said we are united to destroy boxing. I
- 49:16Speaker 1: guess it's just joke or something, but maybe maybe something
- 49:19Speaker 1: will come out of that, you know, maybe something will
- 49:22Speaker 1: come out of that. Oh. Also brunch boxing, Uh, the
- 49:29Speaker 1: Olympics boxing uh will take it will take place in
- 49:34Speaker 1: the Peacock Theater and then the final will be the
- 49:38Speaker 1: Crypto Arena. That's that's what it's scheduled for. So that's
- 49:41Speaker 1: kind of cool. Did you do oh that? Hergevic Sanchez order.
- 49:46Speaker 1: That's kind of an interesting style by the way, for
- 49:48Speaker 1: Frank Sanchez. But that'll determine that the bois mandatory challenger.
- 49:53Speaker 1: But then Jesoora is still there and I don't know.
- 49:59Speaker 1: Here's another one broad away, Joel shouts out to Joel. Uh,
- 50:03Speaker 1: talks are ongoing for Otamus and Seana beck Man. That
- 50:09Speaker 1: would be good. That would be good. And that's one
- 50:12Speaker 1: of the fights that that was obvious. If PBC and
- 50:17Speaker 1: Top Rank are gonna, you know, do their thing together,
- 50:20Speaker 1: that would be one that you'd have to This is
- 50:22Speaker 1: from Dan Rafael Ban and KAFU in the works CAFU
- 50:26Speaker 1: for Dallas July nineteenth. That's kind of a fight that
- 50:30Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of been right there. Basically you've
- 50:34Speaker 1: kind of known that that was gonna probably happen. I
- 50:39Speaker 1: think I think that's about it. But here's Gritty on
- 50:43Speaker 1: Shakur's turnaround as one eighty. Well, so much for not
- 50:47Speaker 1: ben in the knee. That ran about integrity and now
- 50:51Speaker 1: and not bowing down to any man is now canceled
- 50:54Speaker 1: and forgotten. Well said Gritty, Uh, Yeah, that that turned
- 50:57Speaker 1: pretty quick. That turned pretty quick. Also, I heard that
- 51:02Speaker 1: late July early August is now Davis en Roach Junior.
- 51:08Speaker 1: Looking forward to that rematch. I think that's a really, really,
- 51:12Speaker 1: really interesting rematch. Anyway, I'm gonna get out of here,
- 51:16Speaker 1: enjoy the fights this weekend. I'll be back Tuesday night,
- 51:20Speaker 1: no doubt about it. All right, all right, see us
- 51:24Speaker 1: in peace.
