0:29
Speaker 2: to your female?
0:29
Speaker 1: What do you think is gonna be? Honestly, this is
0:31
Speaker 1: a moment I've been kind of waiting for my whole career,
0:35
Speaker 1: that big name.
0:36
Speaker 4: You finally got one.
0:37
Speaker 5: Yeah.
0:37
Speaker 6: It's like I've been kind of like pushing since I started.
0:40
Speaker 6: I want to fight the best fighters. So now in
0:45
Speaker 6: this situation, I kind of reached out and I kind
0:47
Speaker 6: of set it up to where we kind of made
0:49
Speaker 6: this happen, and Teo set the challenge, so I respect.
0:53
Speaker 1: Him for it.
0:54
Speaker 2: We seen Teo earlier and I was watching that he
0:58
Speaker 2: didn't seem like regular.
0:59
Speaker 3: Till you like that.
1:02
Speaker 1: You want to monkeys, I don't want to. I just
1:10
Speaker 1: know he's usually more like R Now he kind of like,
1:16
Speaker 1: does he still love you?
1:17
Speaker 4: But he said he gonna turn up at the press conference.
1:18
Speaker 6: You say that, Nah, yeah, you gotta, we gotta see.
1:22
Speaker 6: But I don't like that version. I would rather see
1:23
Speaker 6: the version that kind of I've been playing in the
1:26
Speaker 6: fight for years.
1:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, but people be complaining about that version, like he's saying, Wow,
1:29
Speaker 3: ship's too wild, it's too crazy. So I guess people
1:33
Speaker 3: forced him to be this new version.
1:35
Speaker 6: Yeah, but people shouldn't dictate who you are, like, you're
1:37
Speaker 6: a real man, bro. At the end of the day, Bro,
1:40
Speaker 6: just be yourself and whether they like you or love you.
1:43
Speaker 1: Ain't nothing gonna change. But as long as the people
1:45
Speaker 1: around you love you.
1:46
Speaker 3: So he tried to throw a shot at you about
1:49
Speaker 3: that same topic, saying that should call lets the people
1:51
Speaker 3: get to him, and that's why he forced to pay
1:53
Speaker 3: that the way he did. Do you agree with that
1:55
Speaker 3: to some degree?
1:56
Speaker 1: Oh?
1:56
Speaker 6: No, I think that got a style to where if
2:01
Speaker 6: four Peter he probably would have to fight him the
2:04
Speaker 6: same way. I never seen him in front of that
2:06
Speaker 6: kind of style throughout his whole career. Now, he fought
2:09
Speaker 6: some good fighters, but honestly, his best opponent was limit Chenko,
2:14
Speaker 6: and I feel like I'm not gonna say, I'm not
2:18
Speaker 6: gonna take away credit from him, but I feel as
2:20
Speaker 6: though lemon Chank ain't throw no punches for six rounds.
2:23
Speaker 1: So it's like I can't really tell, like how good
2:26
Speaker 1: you is. I don't know what happened with limon Chenko,
2:28
Speaker 1: but do you.
2:28
Speaker 3: Think something he did maybe had Loma hesitant?
2:31
Speaker 1: I don't know.
2:33
Speaker 6: I wasn't in there to know whether like what happened,
2:35
Speaker 6: but I just know for a fact that Lorman started
2:38
Speaker 6: to fight in the second half, and when he did,
2:40
Speaker 6: I thought he took over the second half of the fight.
2:42
Speaker 6: So it's hard to say to give him that much
2:46
Speaker 6: credit for being Limo.
2:47
Speaker 3: So you think Loman won that fight or no.
2:51
Speaker 6: I thought he want to fight. I want to say
2:53
Speaker 6: you won the first seven rounds and maybe even one
2:55
Speaker 6: to twelve.
2:56
Speaker 3: He definitely want to talk.
2:58
Speaker 4: Too, said that your defense isn't as the leaders people
3:01
Speaker 4: think it is. I disagree with him, but he said
3:03
Speaker 4: he don't think it as impeccable as people think it is.
3:06
Speaker 6: I mean, he ain't been in there with me to
3:09
Speaker 6: know whether how good it is. A good sparring ain't
3:13
Speaker 6: gonna tell we did three rounds.
3:15
Speaker 1: That shit ain't He.
3:17
Speaker 6: Couldn't barely hit me in So I'm not taking nothing
3:20
Speaker 6: from the sparring. But he don't know whether how good
3:23
Speaker 6: I am, like you don't know how good my defense
3:25
Speaker 6: is until come January thirty.
3:27
Speaker 2: First, he pretty much said your style of box, and
3:30
Speaker 2: he said, he's uh, beat hundreds of fighters with your style,
3:32
Speaker 2: two hundred Southwest.
3:35
Speaker 1: They said it's light work.
3:37
Speaker 6: Man. That's the thing where he got to like pay
3:39
Speaker 6: attention to cause it's like, yeah, you did good with
3:43
Speaker 6: some South Paws, but then there are South pawts you
3:45
Speaker 6: did bad with. So it's not just okay, I beat
3:49
Speaker 6: Lemon chank On Josh Taylor, but then you thought Jermaine
3:53
Speaker 6: or Teazing Sander Martin and they are to South Paust
3:56
Speaker 6: who both gave you trouble.
3:57
Speaker 3: So that's a good point.
3:58
Speaker 6: Give him confidence to beat them bigger guys that got
4:02
Speaker 6: the bigger names, but his confidence went down when he
4:05
Speaker 6: fought them other guys.
4:06
Speaker 1: So truthfully, all that South Parst shit, that shit.
4:09
Speaker 6: Sound good, but what you're gonna do when get in
4:11
Speaker 6: front of me, I'm not none of them guys.
4:13
Speaker 3: He did say that on paper, you his toughest test.
4:16
Speaker 3: Do you feel the same way?
4:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, hell yeah. We both know what we're dealing with. Like,
4:21
Speaker 1: I know he the truth, he know I'm the truth.
4:23
Speaker 6: On when I sat there and watched him a Tom Squire,
4:26
Speaker 6: he was doing a lot of like Roy Jones kind
4:28
Speaker 6: of like.
4:28
Speaker 1: Shit and put his hands down, do the little flashy stuff.
4:31
Speaker 1: So I know the truth.
4:33
Speaker 6: I think he's the guy and I appreciate him because
4:36
Speaker 6: he's the guy who's going to take me to that
4:37
Speaker 6: next level.
4:39
Speaker 5: I know y'all headed into this uh presser press conference.
4:41
Speaker 5: He said also to about getting in your head, like
4:43
Speaker 5: that's his thing because he feels like you let people
4:45
Speaker 5: get in your head. How do you turn like that?
4:48
Speaker 5: And you're not gonna shake the confidence you have right
4:50
Speaker 5: now when y'all face to face and then you got
4:52
Speaker 5: some things that are going to come before the fight.
4:53
Speaker 6: I mean, clearly he's not that smart though, because if
4:56
Speaker 6: he was smart, he would have never said it.
4:59
Speaker 1: He would have just did it.
5:01
Speaker 6: So being that he's saying that now you're telling me,
5:03
Speaker 6: is like, okay, now I got to be on the
5:04
Speaker 6: lookout for Okay, cool.
5:09
Speaker 1: He was smart, he would have just did it. So
5:12
Speaker 1: truthfully that sh ain't gonna bother me.
5:14
Speaker 6: I don't I know that come fight night, as long
5:16
Speaker 6: as I come at my best and he come at
5:18
Speaker 6: his best, we're gonna get the best.
5:20
Speaker 1: Versions of ourselves and whoever best is going to win
5:23
Speaker 1: that night.
5:24
Speaker 4: Are you surprised you agree to the fight?
5:29
Speaker 1: Not really? Not really.
5:31
Speaker 6: Honestly, he wanted them fighters who I think that really
5:33
Speaker 6: believe in themself, and you could tell, like, deep down
5:37
Speaker 6: he's been waiting for opportunities just as much as me.
5:40
Speaker 6: So I think in this instinct the only thing that
5:42
Speaker 6: I would say, we should be thanking each other for
5:46
Speaker 6: the fact that we both said yes, and we're both
5:48
Speaker 6: hungry and want this moment.
5:50
Speaker 3: So you known went Floyd for a pack? Yea. They
5:53
Speaker 3: had to run into each other and they had to
5:54
Speaker 3: actually talk about it amongst themselves. Did you and Til
5:58
Speaker 3: actually have a real conversation before every day else get involved,
6:00
Speaker 3: like yo, let's let's fight bro, Like we did.
6:02
Speaker 6: We actually got on the phone. TiO Connor was trying
6:06
Speaker 6: to let me know that he was getting at the
6:09
Speaker 6: options and he basically told me that the option that
6:13
Speaker 6: he wanted to fight was me, and I'm like, okay,
6:14
Speaker 6: that's the option that I want to fight too, So
6:17
Speaker 6: I had other options.
6:17
Speaker 3: On the table, different options.
6:19
Speaker 6: But yeah, but once we got on the phone, we
6:21
Speaker 6: kind of locked it in and we stuck with what
6:23
Speaker 6: we said, and I appreciate him for keeping his work.
6:25
Speaker 3: Can you tell me what options were those that you
6:28
Speaker 3: turned down? What fighters I ain't turned down? No, not
6:31
Speaker 3: like that, but who you picked over? Okay, So that
6:35
Speaker 3: was on.
6:36
Speaker 6: I wanted to fight lamar Me and Lamart was a
6:38
Speaker 6: fight to really make happen, but the Tier fight was bigger.
6:42
Speaker 6: It was a bigger, better opportunity, So I went and
6:45
Speaker 6: took the t fight over the Lamart fight.
6:47
Speaker 1: What do you think by roaches last fight? I thought
6:49
Speaker 1: he won.
6:50
Speaker 6: I thought he may and shouldn't have never let off
6:54
Speaker 6: the gas in them last two rounds. But I thought
6:57
Speaker 6: when you see Pitt Bull get on the back foot
7:00
Speaker 6: and start boxing and thinking that he's winning a boxing match,
7:04
Speaker 6: I think that right there should let it be known
7:06
Speaker 6: that Lamont Roach is winning this fight.
7:08
Speaker 1: So when you like so, you pick to over Lamont.
7:12
Speaker 1: So I don't know how it works, like you can't
7:14
Speaker 1: fight Lamont now?
7:15
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can fight after I beat too, But like
7:18
Speaker 6: I said, it's there's so many options on the table
7:21
Speaker 6: now to where it's like, even with this TiO fight,
7:23
Speaker 6: it's gonna open doors for other fights to happen. So
7:27
Speaker 6: it's hard to even say if Lamont will be next.
7:29
Speaker 6: I would love for Lamart to be next. I think
7:31
Speaker 6: that that's a big fight. That's something that me and
7:34
Speaker 6: him talked about, and I'm actually real cool with Lamont,
7:36
Speaker 6: so I would love for that fight to happen. But
7:39
Speaker 6: we'll see you when the opportunity position itself.
7:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, he talked about on this show about wanting to
7:43
Speaker 3: fight you, But so are you done at one thirty five?
7:45
Speaker 3: Because this fight is at one forty going back down?
7:48
Speaker 1: Yo, I'm probably gonna go down, probably gonna go up. Yo.
7:52
Speaker 6: I'm so good at this ship where it's like I
7:54
Speaker 6: could fight at thirty five forty. I may give a
7:58
Speaker 6: little try at forty seven, just a little track. I'm little, right,
8:01
Speaker 6: so I'm gonna give it my shot. But like, truthfully,
8:03
Speaker 6: I'm not a forty seven pounder, but I'm so good
8:06
Speaker 6: to where you could deal with that weight classes.
8:09
Speaker 3: So yeah, but how do you feel I won like
8:11
Speaker 3: forty I mean, obviously you're not at fight there yet,
8:14
Speaker 3: but is there like an ease in your mind where
8:16
Speaker 3: I could eat a little bit more, I don't have
8:18
Speaker 3: to work that hard.
8:19
Speaker 6: Home right there, right now, it's the same thing, bro,
8:23
Speaker 6: because it's like at thirty five, I could eat whatever.
8:27
Speaker 6: Like I was, I was barely cut weight. So now
8:29
Speaker 6: it's like I'm barely barely gonna have to cut weight.
8:33
Speaker 6: So truthfully, it's like, shit, just feel good and enjoy
8:37
Speaker 6: this feeling, because at thirty and twenty six, that shit
8:39
Speaker 6: was hard.
8:41
Speaker 4: What just beating to your female do for your legacy?
8:44
Speaker 4: Beyond belts and rankings and all that.
8:46
Speaker 6: I think it'd take me to a whole nother level.
8:48
Speaker 6: I think on that pound for pounds list, like you
8:51
Speaker 6: gotta put me in that top five, Like I gotta
8:54
Speaker 6: be one of them guys in the top five at
8:55
Speaker 6: that I Bett is one of them guys.
8:59
Speaker 1: I fel like should have been undisputed.
9:01
Speaker 6: He deserved to be undisputed when all of that stuff
9:04
Speaker 6: happened with Lima Chenko and he won that fight. They
9:08
Speaker 6: didn't give him the undisputed thing, but he.
9:10
Speaker 1: Should have been.
9:10
Speaker 6: But just to be the guy that's so accomplished, Like
9:14
Speaker 6: this guy had four belts and then went up to
9:17
Speaker 6: one forty and didn't want a belt there. They had
9:20
Speaker 6: the Ring Magazine belt at one forty.
9:22
Speaker 1: So this this guy is accomplished.
9:25
Speaker 6: He's an accomplished fighter and one of the best fighters that's
9:27
Speaker 6: gonna be in my resume.
9:28
Speaker 4: I don't understand all that sanction shit, man, because to me,
9:30
Speaker 4: I'm just watching the fights. If you win, you win.
9:32
Speaker 4: Like when I saw Bud talking about that the other week,
9:35
Speaker 4: I'm like, I didn't know people weren't recognizing him as them.
9:39
Speaker 3: It's just one belt, that just one belt that technically,
9:43
Speaker 3: like TiO was saying, I'm not sure if you saw
9:45
Speaker 3: that part where he shouldn't said Bud shouldn't be undisputed
9:48
Speaker 3: technically because he didn't pay that feast on paper. Even though.
9:54
Speaker 1: That sounded like some hat.
9:56
Speaker 3: He's referring back to what happened with him with Loma.
9:58
Speaker 3: He's like, the same thing happened to me. People won't
10:00
Speaker 3: consider me undisputed.
10:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, but at the end of the day, it's like
10:03
Speaker 6: it did happen to you, and it's fucked up.
10:05
Speaker 1: It's not a good situation.
10:06
Speaker 3: And he wanted to be called undisputed so while, but
10:10
Speaker 3: at the.
10:10
Speaker 6: End of the day, it's so now, like, bro, just
10:13
Speaker 6: give him his credit.
10:18
Speaker 1: Exactly. Ain't need nothing to talk about.
10:20
Speaker 4: Do you use this fight as like personal, strategic or
10:24
Speaker 4: legacy driven?
10:26
Speaker 1: I think it's all three.
10:28
Speaker 6: It's all three, and now I don't try to take
10:30
Speaker 6: things personal, but it's personal for me, like it's my
10:34
Speaker 6: personal life. I want to be the best, Like that's
10:37
Speaker 6: all I've been striving for since I started this.
10:39
Speaker 1: So now it's just like the legacy I know gonna
10:44
Speaker 1: come with it on.
10:45
Speaker 6: Strategy is gonna be on point to where I make
10:48
Speaker 6: sure I got to follow the game plan come fight night.
10:50
Speaker 6: But personally for me and my kid, for me and
10:54
Speaker 6: my family, like I want to just I want to
10:56
Speaker 6: eat forever.
10:57
Speaker 3: It is just the biggest pain that you've gotten, sure, Uestion.
11:01
Speaker 3: I got to ask you about Jake Paul because you
11:02
Speaker 3: spend some time in camp with him, spawn with him,
11:05
Speaker 3: then you and Key showing it as well. You know
11:07
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. No, boy, he was there with y'all.
11:10
Speaker 3: So most people that haven't spent time around Jake have
11:15
Speaker 3: an issue with him fighting fighters, I'm saying, but once
11:17
Speaker 3: they spend some time ron they have a different perspective
11:20
Speaker 3: of who he is. Is that your experience with Jake.
11:23
Speaker 6: I've been around before already had a view of like
11:27
Speaker 6: he's really a cool dude. People could talk about him,
11:30
Speaker 6: but if somebody couldn't come to a sport to where
11:34
Speaker 6: like women's boxing, let's speak, for example, with them, they
11:38
Speaker 6: don't get no attention, they don't get no love, and
11:39
Speaker 6: they deserve it. And then Jake Paul shines a light
11:43
Speaker 6: that's bright on them female fighters, and now they making
11:47
Speaker 6: millions of dollars. Just like at the end of the day,
11:49
Speaker 6: you got to respect him for moving into a lane
11:53
Speaker 6: and helping out somewhere where it was weak at and
11:57
Speaker 6: you got to respect him as a person too.
12:00
Speaker 3: J Paul's a real and as a fighter though too.
12:02
Speaker 3: I mean what about that?
12:03
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm I respect him as a fighter because
12:06
Speaker 6: he's working hard to get to where he's at.
12:09
Speaker 3: So has he gotten better on like hell yeah.
12:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah for sure, Like from where he started, now
12:14
Speaker 1: he's way better.
12:15
Speaker 3: How did did he feel he have power? Did you
12:17
Speaker 3: did he touch you in the ring? Like how did
12:19
Speaker 3: that feel? Like? What was that?
12:20
Speaker 5: Like?
12:20
Speaker 6: I remember him like catching me, like catching my glove,
12:24
Speaker 6: and when he caught my glove, I'm like, oh he
12:25
Speaker 6: was heavy. Yeah, he's like two hundred some pounds, so
12:28
Speaker 6: you're gonna feel it.
12:29
Speaker 1: But she ain't gonna do nothing. AG ain't two sixties.
12:37
Speaker 1: I'm one.
12:39
Speaker 3: I can he tell you you ain't gonna kill him?
12:42
Speaker 3: In other words, I don't know.
12:43
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see room for both fighters. I'm
12:49
Speaker 1: a fan of j Pass. I can't get that dude,
12:51
Speaker 1: Like it's hard for me.
12:53
Speaker 4: I feel I respect what he was done for women's boxing.
12:56
Speaker 4: I've gone to some of the m v P fights
12:57
Speaker 4: for women's boxing. But he gonna get killed.
13:01
Speaker 1: But AJ holding back and he's come on getting the
13:06
Speaker 1: ring with it.
13:06
Speaker 6: I do think when it comes down to it, with
13:08
Speaker 6: AJ been boxing for so long, Olympic gold medalist, he
13:12
Speaker 6: should go in there and just wipe him.
13:15
Speaker 1: But we'll see, we'll see you gonna fight night.
13:18
Speaker 5: It's tank still. I know that was like a fight
13:21
Speaker 5: for you, but there's been so much him not fighting
13:24
Speaker 5: Jake Paul at this point and just you know, like,
13:25
Speaker 5: is that even something you even care about at this point?
13:28
Speaker 5: What are you about to do a little best?
13:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm honestly done with that.
13:31
Speaker 6: I ain't really got too much to say on that
13:33
Speaker 6: because it's like it's a lose lose situation. Like it's
13:37
Speaker 6: a lot of people that just hate me to hate me,
13:39
Speaker 6: but they don't really understand the situation of the facts.
13:41
Speaker 6: So it's like when you speak on this, like you
13:44
Speaker 6: shine a light to the situation. So I ain't really
13:46
Speaker 6: talking about it, but I'm locked in. It's me and TiO.
13:49
Speaker 6: That's a big fight, that's legacy making fight, and I
13:54
Speaker 6: just can't wait to show why you am.
13:56
Speaker 3: And those top names at thirty five, it was obviously Tank,
14:00
Speaker 3: Devin t you about to fight one of them right
14:03
Speaker 3: this this this he is about to have a fourteen,
14:07
Speaker 3: So it's Devon on your list next, so you could
14:09
Speaker 3: keep going on that that list.
14:11
Speaker 1: I would love to fight Devin. I would love to
14:13
Speaker 1: fight Devin.
14:14
Speaker 6: Only thing is because a lot of people kind of
14:16
Speaker 6: compared on me saying that I fight kind of Been
14:20
Speaker 6: with Devin Haney, and I understand it. But the thing
14:24
Speaker 6: that I said, even with kind of Been, I would
14:26
Speaker 6: want the same.
14:27
Speaker 1: Weight clause as he put it on you. And that's
14:31
Speaker 1: what I want come fight night with kind of Been.
14:34
Speaker 6: Now when I got to forty seven with Devin, is
14:36
Speaker 6: he's going to allow the same weight clause, Like it's
14:39
Speaker 6: it becomes a business like how we're going to do
14:41
Speaker 6: this fight and if he do ship, let's lock in game.
14:44
Speaker 3: So so kind of Ben is still on the list.
14:47
Speaker 6: I think should be next, But I'm not trying to
14:51
Speaker 6: look past you, like is really the main thing that's
14:54
Speaker 6: on my mind?
14:55
Speaker 1: But I'm just answering the.
14:56
Speaker 4: Question adjustments miss adjustments. So you making specifically for too.
15:03
Speaker 6: I think we both got a lot of mental adjustments
15:05
Speaker 6: to make because both of us mentally is like we're
15:11
Speaker 6: always trying to please the fans and put on shows
15:14
Speaker 6: for the fans, and I think we got to make
15:18
Speaker 6: sure that we locking in on our game plans and
15:20
Speaker 6: the person with the best game plan is going to
15:23
Speaker 6: come out on top. What do you feel about all
15:25
Speaker 6: the racism thing that's been coming around around him in
15:28
Speaker 6: the last couple of months.
15:29
Speaker 1: I don't believe it. I don't believe it, Like I
15:31
Speaker 1: think that is not racist.
15:33
Speaker 6: I think that he's clout chasing, Like that's what I
15:36
Speaker 6: really seen from it, Like it's a guy who's been
15:40
Speaker 6: looked past his whole career and he's doing anything to
15:44
Speaker 6: get some type of spotlight on him. And that's what
15:47
Speaker 6: I kind of seen from the situation. Because I've known
15:49
Speaker 6: TiO for years and years. He ain't never really been
15:51
Speaker 6: no racist person.
15:53
Speaker 4: That's like, I'm just trying to cause chaos because.
15:57
Speaker 6: Trying to he wanted to be in a spotlight, like
15:59
Speaker 6: people will look past him. Like even in this situation,
16:05
Speaker 6: the fight was not gonna happen, Like this was a
16:07
Speaker 6: fight that wasn't gonna happen till I'm like, yo boom,
16:10
Speaker 6: I'm looking through the playing field.
16:12
Speaker 1: Right before my last fight.
16:13
Speaker 6: I'm like too, And I kind of I told the
16:17
Speaker 6: higher powers and the people in the position that me
16:19
Speaker 6: and is the fight that's the biggest fight.
16:21
Speaker 1: They really ain't want to o.
16:23
Speaker 6: T ain't no damn like truthfully, like but you know,
16:28
Speaker 6: like I said, I appreciate him for saying yes, and
16:30
Speaker 6: he appreciated me for making happen.
16:31
Speaker 4: He said he didn't send the water melons and bananas.
16:37
Speaker 1: He No, I don't think he did that ship for real. No,
16:39
Speaker 1: I don't think he did that. Sh I think that
16:41
Speaker 1: he choled the internet.
16:43
Speaker 6: During his fight week, whereas like with the banana ship,
16:47
Speaker 6: But I don't think he sent it to his room.
16:49
Speaker 1: Though, Who do you think did it?
16:54
Speaker 7: Some people were saying Some people saying that top you
16:57
Speaker 7: heard the room was about top Ranke did it themselves
17:00
Speaker 7: to create some motion. No, I know it is crazy,
17:05
Speaker 7: but he said that Tal said that on the show,
17:08
Speaker 7: like I think they did it.
17:11
Speaker 1: He said, you don't know. No, I don't know. Hell no,
17:14
Speaker 1: I don't know.
17:15
Speaker 6: But I told him what I think. It is like
17:17
Speaker 6: you could make your own speculations.
17:20
Speaker 2: So press conference today he got a banana Keshan you
17:22
Speaker 2: jumping out of and you jumping on him.
17:24
Speaker 1: As you see.
17:28
Speaker 4: You've had critics that your style is too safe. Other
17:31
Speaker 4: people call you defensive genius. Does this fight give you
17:33
Speaker 4: the chance to silence people who question you period and
17:37
Speaker 4: your offensive output.
17:39
Speaker 6: No, because at the end of the day, they still
17:41
Speaker 6: gonna say something like when somebody really got hatred for
17:44
Speaker 6: somebody and they hate you. Even if you watch Floyd
17:46
Speaker 6: entire career, people hated on him the entire time, but
17:51
Speaker 6: as soon as he retired it's like, oh he was
17:53
Speaker 6: the greatest.
17:54
Speaker 1: But like during his career it's like, oh he's boring,
17:57
Speaker 1: he runs, he blah blah blah.
18:00
Speaker 6: But if you actually watch the fights, he wasn't running,
18:02
Speaker 6: he wasn't moving all around the ring. He had he
18:05
Speaker 6: just showed skills, he had defense, he didn't get hit,
18:07
Speaker 6: he didn't take unnecessary punishment. So with me, I think
18:10
Speaker 6: it's kind of similar, like I ain't worry about what
18:13
Speaker 6: they say. They're gonna say something today and then they
18:16
Speaker 6: gonna say something tomorrow.
18:17
Speaker 4: So oh, they might say something during the fight. I
18:18
Speaker 4: saw that with Hani Haney's last fight. Second round. Of course,
18:22
Speaker 4: he looked amazing right at one forty seven, Drop dude,
18:25
Speaker 4: But then it was like, but the rest of the fight,
18:27
Speaker 4: he was born. Like y'all watched it in real time,
18:30
Speaker 4: like literally in real time, it's like boring Devon's back.
18:32
Speaker 1: I'm like, god, damn, it look great. You know what's
18:35
Speaker 1: boring to people?
18:35
Speaker 8: Though?
18:36
Speaker 6: It's boring when you watch it and it's so easy,
18:40
Speaker 6: like when Devin's just making it easy and it ain't
18:43
Speaker 6: really like it's nothing coming back to where it's danger now.
18:46
Speaker 1: If he got hit with a big shot, they'll be all,
18:48
Speaker 1: this is the best even fight I've ever seen in
18:50
Speaker 1: my life.
18:51
Speaker 3: Impressed with performance.
18:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought Devin looked good. I thought early on
18:55
Speaker 1: he did what he's supposed to do. I think later
18:58
Speaker 1: on he could have stepped on the gas a little
19:00
Speaker 1: bit more. But like that's everybody. You know.
19:03
Speaker 6: In these fights, you just gotta make sure you succeed
19:06
Speaker 6: at the end of the day, and I think that's
19:07
Speaker 6: what he was focused on.
19:08
Speaker 3: Look, Eddie Hearn, obviously you've worked with him, and you
19:11
Speaker 3: work with him. He threw some shots at Devin after
19:14
Speaker 3: the fight, saying that, yeah, he don't want to engage,
19:16
Speaker 3: and Eddie Hearn promoted Devin hatey. How do you feel
19:19
Speaker 3: about him now throwing a shot at him like that.
19:22
Speaker 6: I think it's a business. So at the end of
19:24
Speaker 6: the day, during business, it's a lot of things that's
19:27
Speaker 6: going to be said when somebody is not working for you.
19:30
Speaker 6: So I think in that aspect, Devin and Eddie's not
19:34
Speaker 6: working together.
19:35
Speaker 8: So if they was together, he would have said that
19:39
Speaker 8: masterclass now. But you know what's crazy, though, out of
19:43
Speaker 8: all the promoters I've been telling you all this, my
19:45
Speaker 8: stamble is I think Eddie is actually a good promoter.
19:47
Speaker 3: He's a good person too. For sure, you feel more
19:50
Speaker 3: pressure to win or the dominique.
19:53
Speaker 1: Dominique I gotta go in there and like y'all gotta
19:56
Speaker 1: know I'm winning this fighting.
19:58
Speaker 6: I don't like being in the fights to where it's
20:00
Speaker 6: like you don't know who's winning. Like when you watch
20:03
Speaker 6: Lamont and Pitt Boy, it's some casuals that don't know
20:06
Speaker 6: who's winning the fight. But if you really paying attention,
20:09
Speaker 6: you could tell, like Lamont.
20:11
Speaker 3: Is this your first time at the Big Garden fighting?
20:14
Speaker 1: Oh no, I for here under butt on back in
20:17
Speaker 1: the day.
20:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you and Brian Garcia switching gears. I saw
20:21
Speaker 5: y'all's uh exchange? You really hate him in real life?
20:25
Speaker 1: No, all of my life, all my life now.
20:30
Speaker 6: It was more so like you see somebody and like
20:33
Speaker 6: they say something slick and you gotta still let them know,
20:37
Speaker 6: like who you is, Like they still gotta know, Like, Bro,
20:40
Speaker 6: I ain't this ain't nothing new, bro, Like I'm still
20:43
Speaker 6: that same person I've been so hmm.
20:45
Speaker 1: It's like us just reuniting same.
20:48
Speaker 5: I thought he was kind of like trying to give
20:50
Speaker 5: you a little bit of like seeing.
20:52
Speaker 1: Gave you the credit.
20:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I.
20:55
Speaker 1: Give him credit. He's a he's a good fighter.
20:57
Speaker 6: I think that with Ryan when he's focus, he's a
21:01
Speaker 6: really good fighter. But if it's like he got all
21:03
Speaker 6: these outside the ring things going on, you're gonna get
21:07
Speaker 6: a bad version home. But with me, if he talking
21:10
Speaker 6: about getting ring with me.
21:11
Speaker 1: He better be focused.
21:13
Speaker 3: I got to ask you about butter Cook. There rumors
21:15
Speaker 3: about him fighting Canelo, get a rematch. I'm true? Is
21:17
Speaker 3: that I know that shit? Bro? Big bro? What what
21:22
Speaker 3: do you think Bud should do? Like if it was
21:25
Speaker 3: up to you, because he's done everything in the sport, right,
21:28
Speaker 3: should he hang it up.
21:29
Speaker 1: Or sh retire?
21:30
Speaker 3: Retire?
21:31
Speaker 1: I'm Budd Crawford, I'm the greatest. What am I doing?
21:34
Speaker 6: I already proved y'all everything, Like there's nothing else to prove,
21:37
Speaker 6: y'all no more.
21:38
Speaker 1: I beat all the guys that y'all say I couldn't beat.
21:41
Speaker 3: But if there's another seventy one hundred millionaires.
21:45
Speaker 1: Yeah that's cool.
21:45
Speaker 6: But like from like if I was, it's like I
21:49
Speaker 6: did everything?
21:49
Speaker 1: What am I doing?
21:50
Speaker 6: We go fight Canelo again? He can't beat me. The
21:53
Speaker 6: only thing that's gonna happen on me stoping this song?
21:55
Speaker 6: Like if I'm right right?
21:57
Speaker 3: Once he once he hangs it up. It's how long
22:00
Speaker 3: before Chakour is that number one pound pound fight in
22:02
Speaker 3: the world?
22:03
Speaker 1: Like two years?
22:04
Speaker 3: Two years?
22:04
Speaker 1: I think we on the verge.
22:06
Speaker 6: I think everything is happening in the way it's supposed
22:08
Speaker 6: to happen, So just keep toning.
22:10
Speaker 3: The who's your favorite fighter outside of but right now.
22:15
Speaker 6: Right now in boxing, I think Beval is like one
22:21
Speaker 6: of the hardest fighters to be because he's so basic
22:24
Speaker 6: and he mastered the fundamentals of boxing. He don't just
22:27
Speaker 6: got he keep his hands up, he keep his one
22:31
Speaker 6: two going. He got great feet work. So he don't
22:34
Speaker 6: just stand right there in front of guys all night.
22:37
Speaker 6: He's moving all around now home. I think he's to
22:40
Speaker 6: me besides myself, I think he's the best boxer.
22:42
Speaker 4: You know, people think the fight with TiO is either
22:44
Speaker 4: gonna be you delivering a master class or knockout by
22:48
Speaker 4: t Yeah, you're getting into some type of brawl with
22:50
Speaker 4: t O and end up getting knocked out. Right, what
22:52
Speaker 4: the fans getting wrong about the matchup?
22:54
Speaker 6: I think the fans is getting wrong about the matchup
22:57
Speaker 6: is where I'm not sleeping on that I know about.
22:59
Speaker 1: Till is a good boxer. He's boxer first.
23:03
Speaker 6: So we could say, oh, he's just gonna knock you out,
23:05
Speaker 6: He's just gonna That's not him.
23:07
Speaker 1: He's boxing first.
23:08
Speaker 6: He's going to want to established distance and range on
23:12
Speaker 6: the outside and try to beat me up on the outside.
23:15
Speaker 1: So I think that's the main thing and also.
23:17
Speaker 6: The biggest thing that everybody don't realize.
23:20
Speaker 1: With me, I could punch.
23:21
Speaker 6: Everybody says, oh, he can't punch, and then boom crack
23:24
Speaker 6: somebody and then they laying down or something may happen
23:27
Speaker 6: to where they hurt something like that. So I think
23:30
Speaker 6: that's two big things where they don't understand and know.
23:33
Speaker 4: Timothy Browley said, he feel like you're gonna hurt. He said,
23:36
Speaker 4: he feels like you can hurt I can. I can't
23:39
Speaker 4: say you got the style to hurt him.
23:40
Speaker 1: I can.
23:41
Speaker 3: I can.
23:41
Speaker 6: I can catch him with something you don't see. But
23:43
Speaker 6: he just better be paying attention all night.
23:46
Speaker 3: Better get out of here real quick though.
23:49
Speaker 1: I gotta fight.
23:50
Speaker 3: That's why I said that I gotta going to uh
23:53
Speaker 3: Jake Paul versus Anthony Joshua. You're going to the fight?
23:56
Speaker 1: When is it? I mean, I'm in king locked.
24:03
Speaker 6: I'm like, this is the biggest fight in my I
24:06
Speaker 6: gotta be at a different level than I've been in
24:09
Speaker 6: the past.
