0:04
Speaker 1: but hailing from the city of Sands. Put your hands
0:06
Speaker 1: together for Jamison Wells. And in this corner, standing at
0:10
Speaker 1: five foot ten, weighing in at pound and coming to
0:14
Speaker 1: us from his super secret bunker with no AC in Tucson, Arizona.
0:18
Speaker 1: Put your hands together for Luis Montemayor.
0:27
Speaker 2: All right, thank you. Welcome back to another episode of
0:29
Speaker 2: Mixed Company Podcast. I'm one a half of the show.
0:32
Speaker 2: I'm Jamison and Dromo Luis as always, Luise, what's going on? Man?
0:36
Speaker 3: Hey, Jamison, Good to be back. Getting into the summer months,
0:40
Speaker 3: getting a little sweaty out there, but you know, the
0:43
Speaker 3: only thing hotter than the temperature out there is our
0:45
Speaker 3: Fuego takes on the boxing world. So yeah, we got
0:49
Speaker 3: a lot to talk about today. We had a really interesting,
0:51
Speaker 3: exciting boxing match over the weekend. Keishaan Davis returned to
0:55
Speaker 3: the ring to rematch now You're All brightltely dominant performance.
1:02
Speaker 3: Interesting that there was no knockout and Kishan had difficulty
1:05
Speaker 3: knocking out the last dude he fought in the Shakur
1:09
Speaker 3: Tale Femo fight. Settling into his weight class, but we'll
1:13
Speaker 3: start here. I mean, what did you think of Kishan's performance?
1:16
Speaker 3: I know you were. We were both down on him
1:18
Speaker 3: after he screwed up and didn't make weight. Uh is
1:21
Speaker 3: he coming back into our good graces? Are we are
1:23
Speaker 3: we fans again? Where are we at?
1:25
Speaker 2: He is? But I'm not really mean it was all
1:27
Speaker 2: right him having to struggle that much to make weight.
1:30
Speaker 2: To me, that means you're not taking things seriously like that.
1:34
Speaker 2: To me, that's a very big sign. If you gotta lie,
1:37
Speaker 2: get extra time to make weight and all that kind
1:40
Speaker 2: of stuff, it leads me to believe that you not
1:42
Speaker 2: taking the job seriously. Now, I'm not saying that it's
1:45
Speaker 2: difficult for him to get to the way he's supposed
1:47
Speaker 2: to get at. That happened for a lot of guys.
1:49
Speaker 2: Some guys just have a very hard time getting that
1:51
Speaker 2: end up moving up because of that. And that's fine. However,
1:54
Speaker 2: once you set up for something, you have to meet
1:57
Speaker 2: that like that's your job, like that's your patient, Like
2:00
Speaker 2: you have a day job. I got a day job.
2:02
Speaker 2: There's shit we gotta do or else. He gotta figure
2:05
Speaker 2: that out. And if you don't figure that out, you
2:08
Speaker 2: know he has to move up. And that's where it's like,
2:10
Speaker 2: it's kind of disappointing because it's not the first time
2:12
Speaker 2: this has happened. And also too, it's like, what have
2:14
Speaker 2: you been doing? Like, what's what's the off season been like,
2:19
Speaker 2: what's what's the training been like, what's the discipline been like?
2:23
Speaker 2: So it's like these things matter. If they're all little things,
2:26
Speaker 2: they all become bigger things as things go on, because
2:28
Speaker 2: things of like this, when he gets in a big
2:31
Speaker 2: fight with someone, if these bad habits continue, he's not
2:35
Speaker 2: gonna win set fight. It won't happen because these habits,
2:39
Speaker 2: these things don't just stop happening. These are the things
2:43
Speaker 2: that is who you are. This who you is, who
2:46
Speaker 2: you are as a boxer. So for me, it's more
2:48
Speaker 2: of like, hey man, you had to struggle to make way. Yes,
2:50
Speaker 2: you thought somebody you're gonna beat. Regardless, we get that,
2:53
Speaker 2: we understand that. It is what it is. There's some
2:55
Speaker 2: weird stuff in the ring with the bie slam or
2:57
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it. It wasn't a fan
2:59
Speaker 2: of it, but we all all that being said, he
3:02
Speaker 2: did win. He is gonna go forward. Hopefully he gets
3:05
Speaker 2: a much competitive fight going forward. I want to see
3:08
Speaker 2: him fight somebody with his equal or similar talent level.
3:12
Speaker 2: I think that's the thing we got to mention with
3:14
Speaker 2: these young guys is we see them with too many
3:16
Speaker 2: tune up fights and not in a fight through their
3:18
Speaker 2: challenge so where they got to dig deeper. So I
3:20
Speaker 2: like to see him fight a better opponent going forward.
3:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was kind of not much of a of
3:26
Speaker 3: an opposition for him. Uh And this is a rematch
3:29
Speaker 3: that the second fight between him and all Bright because
3:31
Speaker 3: there was no contest because Keishn tested positive for marijuana.
3:35
Speaker 3: It turns out after that fight, which I gotta tell you, man,
3:39
Speaker 3: do why not give a shit about that? Like that's
3:41
Speaker 3: that's ridiculous. It's not like it's a performance enhandser Like
3:44
Speaker 3: I get it, rules or rules, but you can't it
3:47
Speaker 3: can't be one size fits all. If you know he's right,
3:50
Speaker 3: if he's smoking weed, how is that really going to
3:53
Speaker 3: you know, affect this performance. Honestly, I'm more impressed that
3:56
Speaker 3: he has a good performance if he does have if
3:58
Speaker 3: he is getting high, Like I don't know.
4:00
Speaker 2: He does so much for people, right, so most people
4:03
Speaker 2: would calm you down. Hell a lot of people. It
4:06
Speaker 2: helps the recovery process. Right, So if you're training and
4:10
Speaker 2: you're going through getting in shape, staying in shape, the
4:13
Speaker 2: ring words of that, sometimes we help smelling you out.
4:17
Speaker 2: So I think it's I think it's crazy. I think
4:19
Speaker 2: weed is obviously a legal drug for the most part,
4:22
Speaker 2: most where we live at especially, but I don't think
4:25
Speaker 2: it should be something that I wouldn't be concerned about
4:27
Speaker 2: that if my box was smoking, I wouldn't be concerned
4:29
Speaker 2: about that at all, not even close.
4:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is like the last thing that I've ever
4:34
Speaker 3: cared about as a boxer is smoking when he's not.
4:36
Speaker 3: And yeah, you're right, it's pain management as well, so
4:40
Speaker 3: people use it for a lot of different reasons. So
4:42
Speaker 3: I think that's ridiculous. But that's neither here nor there.
4:45
Speaker 3: I just kind of wanted to mention that, Yeah, I
4:46
Speaker 3: think it's really really stupid that that happened. So we
4:49
Speaker 3: got to talk about the body slam moment. Now, you're
4:52
Speaker 3: all bright was clinching a lot. The ref had to
4:54
Speaker 3: separate them a whole bunch of times. You can go
4:56
Speaker 3: ahead and say that Naiir was clinching too much, that's fine,
4:59
Speaker 3: but Kishan picked him up, flipped him over, and slammed
5:04
Speaker 3: him onto the ground on the canvas, and I think
5:05
Speaker 3: that's bullshit. I think that's unsportsman. Like a lot of
5:08
Speaker 3: commentaries on Instagram, we're just praising on Kishan's side, saying
5:13
Speaker 3: that's what he gets for clinching. You know, you you
5:15
Speaker 3: show his ass, blah blah blah. I don't like that
5:18
Speaker 3: at all. I think, yeah, it's it's it's I think, honestly,
5:21
Speaker 3: beyond dirty boxing, you're just being an asshole. But I
5:24
Speaker 3: always want to see what your thoughts were on that
5:26
Speaker 3: hold a buckle.
5:27
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm never a fan of that happening in
5:29
Speaker 2: the ring because there's a lot of issues that could
5:30
Speaker 2: happen with that and some might get real, really hurt
5:33
Speaker 2: from that. But with Kishan, my thing is is like,
5:37
Speaker 2: you you got to get so back into good races.
5:40
Speaker 2: I wouldn't want a chance to do anything that can
5:42
Speaker 2: mess that up. So for him it's like, hey, man,
5:45
Speaker 2: be careful because you know, we don't need you injuring
5:48
Speaker 2: yourself or somebody else doing something like this. So that's
5:51
Speaker 2: kind of where I'm at with it all. We're all
5:54
Speaker 2: so stating the fight was never in jeopardy, so it
5:59
Speaker 2: wasn't like it was in safety was at rins ring
6:03
Speaker 2: like that. Once you do something like that, all hell
6:05
Speaker 2: can break loose. We've seen where things like that happen
6:08
Speaker 2: and commotion could start. So I'm never really for those
6:12
Speaker 2: type of things. With all that being said, though he
6:14
Speaker 2: did put together a good performance, it's just that the
6:17
Speaker 2: whole all, it's never smooth with him. It's always something.
6:22
Speaker 2: It's the weight stuff, it's this stuff. We're not talking
6:24
Speaker 2: about his boxing, we're talking about everything else. But I
6:27
Speaker 2: think that's be a problem when it comes to a
6:29
Speaker 2: lot of these young boxeres. We're not talking about their
6:31
Speaker 2: skills that, we're talking about the extras, and that has
6:33
Speaker 2: to change.
6:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad you said it like that because that's
6:37
Speaker 3: the exact same thing that came to mind during that fights.
6:40
Speaker 3: It's always something with this guy. And yeah, we've seen
6:45
Speaker 3: boxers get frustrated and you know, last shouty they start
6:48
Speaker 3: you know, punching too low or or headbutting or whatever
6:51
Speaker 3: when they're losing, and they just kind of they just
6:54
Speaker 3: lose their shit. Kyshaw was never at a disadvantage in this,
7:00
Speaker 3: Like every round he was looking great, he was doing great.
7:02
Speaker 3: So yes he was show voting. Maybe he just got
7:06
Speaker 3: you know, to got super into you know, the crowd
7:09
Speaker 3: being on the side and wanted to show off. But yeah,
7:12
Speaker 3: this honestly, like I said, I think it's kind of
7:14
Speaker 3: ridiculous too that the fans are praising this and saying that,
7:17
Speaker 3: you know, he's a badass or whatever. I mean, there's
7:20
Speaker 3: rules to the damn sport, and it's already dangerous enough.
7:22
Speaker 3: Like you said, people get actually hurt, real bad people
7:25
Speaker 3: have died in this dammering. You don't need to make
7:27
Speaker 3: it more dangerous than it is when you're following the rules.
7:30
Speaker 3: So uh, definitely a bad look and just definitely not
7:35
Speaker 3: something that we should we as fans should be saying
7:38
Speaker 3: is okay for a fighter to do. Uh, the ref
7:40
Speaker 3: did take away two points. I can't remember the last
7:43
Speaker 3: time a ref took two points away, right, that's crazy.
7:48
Speaker 3: Like I was, I was actually shocked.
7:49
Speaker 2: Get go ahead, So it's good if you bring it up.
7:52
Speaker 2: We don't see that often. I think if it was
7:54
Speaker 2: a closer fight, I think it's only a one point deduction.
7:57
Speaker 2: But since the fight was what it was, the res'
7:59
Speaker 2: gonna act up. It is what it is.
8:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, I forget the ref's name, but who he was,
8:06
Speaker 3: but he just looked very, very annoyed the whole fight,
8:09
Speaker 3: just kind of pissed that having to keep separating them,
8:12
Speaker 3: and you know what, just the whole attitude of both fighters,
8:16
Speaker 3: the ref's face, it just looked like he was over
8:18
Speaker 3: the ship, to be quite honest with you, And it
8:20
Speaker 3: was very funny. He was kept slapping dow Abart's hands
8:23
Speaker 3: down like he wasn't tapping. He was like smacking his
8:27
Speaker 3: gloves to when he was clinching. So it just felt
8:30
Speaker 3: like a like like the the middle school teacher who's
8:34
Speaker 3: like close to retirement is just over everybody ship in
8:37
Speaker 3: early May, uh is how I saw it. But yeah,
8:42
Speaker 3: but yeah, I was honestly, honestly surprised that that it
8:46
Speaker 3: was a two point deduction because I try to think back,
8:49
Speaker 3: usually if someone I've seen people like throw a punch
8:52
Speaker 3: after the bell, that's a one point deduction, it's either
8:55
Speaker 3: it's either one point deduction or a disqualification if it's
8:58
Speaker 3: something really bad. But two points at once, that's that
9:01
Speaker 3: was wild. I was just honestly surprise. But I don't know,
9:05
Speaker 3: I don't know how I feel about Keishan overall. I
9:09
Speaker 3: he still is very talented. He looks good in the ring,
9:12
Speaker 3: and it was a dominant performance, but it's it's it's
9:15
Speaker 3: hard to call myself a fan after all this stuff.
9:19
Speaker 3: Will I watch him fight again? Sure, but there is
9:22
Speaker 3: a difference in you know, how how I'm gonna if
9:24
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna watch a fight because I like watching
9:26
Speaker 3: boxing or really rooting for this guy to succeed. He's
9:29
Speaker 3: just not making it easy, you know.
9:31
Speaker 2: Right, I agree? I agree, and also too, he's too
9:35
Speaker 2: talented for this ship, like he's gonna move up and wait,
9:37
Speaker 2: that's cool, but he's too talented for this, like he
9:40
Speaker 2: actually has a legit future in the sport. It just
9:42
Speaker 2: has to come down to him in his camp, Like
9:44
Speaker 2: if they're not gonna be honest with him, they're not
9:45
Speaker 2: gonna hold him acountable, then it's gonna be what it's
9:47
Speaker 2: gonna be. But we're gonna see he's gonna get tested
9:50
Speaker 2: one of these fights and we won't see how good
9:53
Speaker 2: he really is.
9:54
Speaker 3: I believe he was gonna fight Edwin Delo Sentos when
9:57
Speaker 3: he didn't make weight, and you know, Edwin Doessn has
10:01
Speaker 3: never been the most difficult competition for people, so he's
10:07
Speaker 3: already not Keishan is already not facing you know, elite competition,
10:11
Speaker 3: and he's already up to some bullshit in Shenanigan. So
10:14
Speaker 3: it doesn't bode well. But I don't know, we'll see.
10:17
Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's definitely definitely had the hometown crowd
10:22
Speaker 3: on his side. It doesn't seem that his you know,
10:25
Speaker 3: people are turning on him at all over this. I
10:28
Speaker 3: kind of feel like I'm going crazy when I'm seeing
10:30
Speaker 3: people just continuing to praise him after all of this.
10:33
Speaker 3: So I don't know. All right, next up here on
10:37
Speaker 3: the list. You know this, we've been talking about David
10:40
Speaker 3: Benavidez at nauseum for the last few weeks after his
10:43
Speaker 3: Secret of My performance. I did have one thing to
10:46
Speaker 3: mention because last time we talked about how the possibility
10:50
Speaker 3: of David Benavidez fighting Alexander Ussek was brought up by
10:54
Speaker 3: Turkey Ela Shak and I said, I was super excited
10:57
Speaker 3: about it. That's a fight I want to see. However,
11:00
Speaker 3: I came across the clip of David benavide saying he
11:04
Speaker 3: is interested in moving up to heavyweight, but he was
11:07
Speaker 3: thinking maybe when he's like thirty five. He said, I
11:10
Speaker 3: just moved a cruiserweight. I don't think I'm gonna move
11:12
Speaker 3: up right away. I want to take some time. He's
11:14
Speaker 3: twenty nine now, So if he does do it and
11:18
Speaker 3: he sticks to the plan, I think we all have
11:20
Speaker 3: to temper our excitement for a Benavidez versus Usk fight.
11:24
Speaker 3: And I can't imagine that if that's what his plans are.
11:29
Speaker 3: And you know, he knows moving up to cruiserweight to
11:32
Speaker 3: effort and he wants to take his time where he's
11:34
Speaker 3: at now, there's a way a fight between him and
11:37
Speaker 3: a heavyweight could be made next year, even if it
11:39
Speaker 3: is by Turkeyella Shak and there's all the Saudi money involved,
11:42
Speaker 3: is there? I mean, what do you how possible do
11:43
Speaker 3: you think that is?
11:45
Speaker 2: Never say never? But I get where he's coming from, though,
11:47
Speaker 2: because here's the thing. Once you make that leap, that's
11:50
Speaker 2: who you are. So he's not ready to be a
11:52
Speaker 2: full time heavyweight. You don't make that fight because once
11:55
Speaker 2: you go there, you are now a heavyweight. So now
11:58
Speaker 2: you're fighting guys anyway from one ninety all the way
12:01
Speaker 2: up to whatever. So that's not what you want to do.
12:05
Speaker 2: Don't do it. So I get I get where he's
12:07
Speaker 2: coming from he actually has a smart camp because a
12:10
Speaker 2: lot of people would chase the money, and I think
12:13
Speaker 2: somebody's gonna be there for him. Now with that being said, hell,
12:17
Speaker 2: there might be a there might be a price he
12:19
Speaker 2: might get that he may have never thought of before.
12:22
Speaker 2: If someone offer you one hundred plus million, who are
12:26
Speaker 2: we just say no? Who we tell him no, I
12:28
Speaker 2: don't do it. You know, if that's with his frame,
12:32
Speaker 2: his frame has a his frame looks like it could
12:36
Speaker 2: be a heavyweight frame. I'm not saying he should do it,
12:39
Speaker 2: but the way his body is, the way his height is,
12:41
Speaker 2: the way his shoulders look, I could see him being
12:44
Speaker 2: a heavyweight and not really stopping much. With all that
12:47
Speaker 2: being said, you can't go back to cruiserweight. You can't
12:50
Speaker 2: go back to like, uh, you know, super middle kingdom
12:53
Speaker 2: or not. That's out. You can't go once you go
12:56
Speaker 2: to like one ninety two. You just can't. You just can't.
13:00
Speaker 2: So that's where I'm very curious to see one of
13:03
Speaker 2: the other options. Now we've heard all before. We keep
13:07
Speaker 2: hearing the same kind of names I heard, I guess,
13:10
Speaker 2: and like some more talks, preliminary talks, I think we've
13:13
Speaker 2: heard as the words Street, So we'll see. That's cool.
13:16
Speaker 2: But I don't think that's the biggest fight that can
13:19
Speaker 2: get the most odds and ears out there. But I
13:22
Speaker 2: do think it's something where people would be excited for.
13:25
Speaker 3: Agreed, And yeah, I said, I get caught up in
13:28
Speaker 3: the hype as well, and you know, the rumors or
13:30
Speaker 3: you know whatever people want to talk about the next
13:32
Speaker 3: big thing is because I have said that I wanted
13:35
Speaker 3: to see bev versus bena Vitas. That's kind of my
13:38
Speaker 3: dream fight of this year. But then they brought a
13:40
Speaker 3: USA came up and I started, you know, getting hype
13:43
Speaker 3: again and say, holy shit, what about this? Yeah, I'm human,
13:47
Speaker 3: you know, I love the sport and I get stoked
13:48
Speaker 3: about things like that. But yeah, maybe we kind of
13:51
Speaker 3: pull back a little bit. I'll pull back a little
13:52
Speaker 3: bit on my excitement here because let's say that David
13:57
Speaker 3: bena Vita stick to his sticks, to his word and
14:00
Speaker 3: wait till he's you know, in his mid thirties, Like
14:02
Speaker 3: what's USA gonna be? It's like mid forties, like it
14:06
Speaker 3: it's one of those like not now or never. But
14:09
Speaker 3: you can't wait too too long no for a Nusik matchup,
14:12
Speaker 3: especially since there's always gonna be the excuses, Oh, you
14:16
Speaker 3: beat an old guy, you know, you know it was well.
14:18
Speaker 2: You know what, though, I don't think once you get
14:21
Speaker 2: in the ring, I think it is what it is
14:23
Speaker 2: like once people agree, I just think, hey man, this
14:27
Speaker 2: is this is how it goes. This is a situation.
14:29
Speaker 2: That's what it is, and that's how it is. So
14:33
Speaker 2: we'll see. But I don't think I don't think that'll
14:36
Speaker 2: be the problem. I don't think.
14:37
Speaker 3: So Okay, well, and let's also not forget that Usik
14:41
Speaker 3: himself is talking about only what like three more fights,
14:43
Speaker 3: say maybe a Fury three and uh something else three
14:48
Speaker 3: to four, which we'll put him in like fighting in
14:51
Speaker 3: for another two years or so, you know, depending on
14:55
Speaker 3: where you know, how often he's he gets back in
14:57
Speaker 3: the ring each year. So it just seem seems like
15:00
Speaker 3: this is very unrealistic. You're right, though, Benavidez is a
15:04
Speaker 3: big is a popular name, he's a star. But yeah,
15:07
Speaker 3: he's never been offered the huge, you know, one hundred
15:11
Speaker 3: million dollar deal, right. I think definitely him deciding to
15:17
Speaker 3: go up, you know, he was he was at super
15:19
Speaker 3: mid of weight because he was Canell's mandatory one sixty
15:21
Speaker 3: eight and he kept moving up. But I think that's
15:24
Speaker 3: also a natural progression. Is he getting older and bigger
15:27
Speaker 3: b fear So he's probably about where he should be
15:30
Speaker 3: for a while. So I don't I don't think we
15:34
Speaker 3: should really really be getting into thinking about David Benavidez
15:40
Speaker 3: at heavyweight reels soon eventually, sure, but I think yeah,
15:43
Speaker 3: he's It's a smart move and a smart thing to say.
15:48
Speaker 3: I just kind of kind of coming back and saying,
15:51
Speaker 3: probably shouldn't have gotten that hype at the thought of
15:54
Speaker 3: Benavidez fighting Gousic next year.
15:56
Speaker 2: That sair, that's fair.
15:58
Speaker 3: So another thing here, more ZUFA boxing Shenanigans brought to
16:02
Speaker 3: us by Dana White. I'm not a fan. I would
16:05
Speaker 3: be fair to say we're not fans of Dana White, right, Jamison.
16:08
Speaker 2: N not with boxing. He can do what ever he
16:12
Speaker 2: wants in the UFC when it comes with boxing. The
16:14
Speaker 2: things I'm hearing, none of them are really good, Like
16:17
Speaker 2: they're trying to basically make boxing like UFC and ask
16:22
Speaker 2: not how this works.
16:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, the latest thing he was hinting at was a
16:25
Speaker 3: ZUFA might sign Shaquur Stevenson, which I don't like that
16:29
Speaker 3: idea I get what he's doing. He's signing big names
16:33
Speaker 3: for big paydays, like Shakur, like Connor Ben. But he's
16:39
Speaker 3: the reason he's doing that is to build up hype
16:41
Speaker 3: so that he can not pay the younger fighters the
16:44
Speaker 3: big bucks. So he's putting a lot of money up top.
16:47
Speaker 3: It's kind of like how Costco sells. They're a rotisserie
16:51
Speaker 3: chicken for so cheap because they lose money on it,
16:53
Speaker 3: but that gets you in the store. Right, that's literally
16:56
Speaker 3: proven that it's the money they spent on advertising, they
16:59
Speaker 3: spend on losing the profits on the chicken. But you
17:03
Speaker 3: get in and you go to the back and you're
17:04
Speaker 3: already in the Costco.
17:05
Speaker 2: There you go. It's the reason why they put it
17:06
Speaker 2: in the back, not the front. You've got to pass
17:08
Speaker 2: up so many items to get to that that you're
17:12
Speaker 2: going to buy something else that they make profit on.
17:14
Speaker 2: And that's kind of the process here, right, pay names,
17:17
Speaker 2: pay the big fighters, the guys that have a name,
17:20
Speaker 2: people have a following that everybody else you underpay. And
17:24
Speaker 2: that's what they're do in the UFC. And I don't.
17:26
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan.
17:27
Speaker 3: Agreed, and neither is Roy Jones Junior. He made. He
17:31
Speaker 3: has not been shy about sharing his thoughts on Dana
17:33
Speaker 3: White and ZUFA Boxing. Roy Jones Junior said this could
17:37
Speaker 3: kill the sport. Like there's an article released on a
17:39
Speaker 3: website called uh do Fight Spider? I believe it was. Sorry,
17:45
Speaker 3: I don't know anything about that website, but yeah, he
17:49
Speaker 3: Roy Jones is saying that Dana Whites's involvement ZUFA boxing
17:52
Speaker 3: changes to the Muhammad Ali Act could actually kill the
17:55
Speaker 3: sport of boxing overall. I know you and we have
17:58
Speaker 3: always said that boxing is always going to be okay,
18:00
Speaker 3: It'll always have a home and have backers. But do
18:02
Speaker 3: you think it's a possibility that the support as we
18:04
Speaker 3: know it will become dominated by a Dana White like
18:07
Speaker 3: UFC is.
18:10
Speaker 2: Dominated. No, because there's still so many promoters involved and
18:13
Speaker 2: there's still so many people doing their own things. I
18:15
Speaker 2: don't think it'll be dominated. My biggest thing is this,
18:18
Speaker 2: like who's making the decisions, Who's like who's calling all
18:23
Speaker 2: the shots? Is it so Saudi, is it Dana? Is
18:27
Speaker 2: it Boxers? Like who's in charge? Until we kind of
18:30
Speaker 2: figure that out, we're all kind of guessing here. With
18:33
Speaker 2: that being said, I prefer the way things are now,
18:38
Speaker 2: I don't want zu ZUFA being involving it. Uh, we
18:41
Speaker 2: can stick to the way of the way things were.
18:43
Speaker 2: I guess I could just say, but noah, man, we
18:46
Speaker 2: need to chill. We need to chill because I'm not
18:49
Speaker 2: a fan of short short paying people for their their services.
18:54
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of that. If you're gonna have
18:56
Speaker 2: someone box, they need to get paid their full freight
19:00
Speaker 2: and that should be that so to me, in my opinion,
19:05
Speaker 2: the less Dana White in ZUFA involved, the better of
19:09
Speaker 2: the sport. My only issue is I don't know if
19:13
Speaker 2: we have the continuity amongst boxers and promoters to make
19:17
Speaker 2: it happen.
19:18
Speaker 3: Yeah. You know. Another thing that Roy Jones brought up
19:21
Speaker 3: was the is the financial aspect of it, and he
19:24
Speaker 3: said that Connor McGregor made more in like one boxing
19:27
Speaker 3: match than he did his entire career as a UFC guy.
19:31
Speaker 3: That's wild to me, that's just absolutely well being. Connor
19:34
Speaker 3: McGregor is one of those few names of UFC fighters
19:37
Speaker 3: that I know, and I don't know any of those
19:38
Speaker 3: sons of bitches. So and Roy Jones saying too, he's
19:44
Speaker 3: not a fan of underpaying people. That if if that's
19:47
Speaker 3: what the UFC model is. You need to keep it
19:49
Speaker 3: the hell away from boxing, and I agree, Yeah, I agree.
19:53
Speaker 3: I just don't know. You know, we're at a point
19:56
Speaker 3: here where Dana White has a lot of money, a
19:59
Speaker 3: lot of political and a lot of a lot of fans.
20:02
Speaker 3: You know, there are people he's become his own brand
20:05
Speaker 3: now and there are fans of UFC combat sports that
20:09
Speaker 3: will follow him because he's He's an ape.
20:12
Speaker 2: So it's deeper than that. UFC is. Basically they have
20:17
Speaker 2: taken the side of when it comes to politics, and
20:21
Speaker 2: they have made it abundantly clear on what side they
20:24
Speaker 2: stand on. Boxing has never really done that. Boxing has
20:27
Speaker 2: been boxing. You can be from either side, you can
20:29
Speaker 2: come watch. We're not gonna favor one side or the other.
20:33
Speaker 2: You don't really want boxing to become that because boxing
20:36
Speaker 2: has own issues. If that element comes into boxing, who
20:39
Speaker 2: knows what happens, and that's where it can get weird. Now,
20:42
Speaker 2: I don't think it would because the sports are different
20:45
Speaker 2: and the participants in the sports are way different, So
20:48
Speaker 2: I don't think that would happen. But even the thought
20:50
Speaker 2: of that is kind of scary because boxing, as we
20:55
Speaker 2: know it is built off of God, coming from less
20:59
Speaker 2: fortunate background and coming from situations to where you have
21:03
Speaker 2: to fight to basically survive. And I don't know bringing
21:08
Speaker 2: in someone who is a billionaire who did not have
21:12
Speaker 2: to do that coming up, it doesn't quite understand boxing
21:15
Speaker 2: like that. I don't know if that helped, especially for
21:18
Speaker 2: what his company's doing on the other side, I don't
21:20
Speaker 2: know if that works. So I hope that his say,
21:24
Speaker 2: his action are limited.
21:27
Speaker 3: Agreed. Yeah, no, I've said it before, have said it
21:31
Speaker 3: on you know comments responding to our TikTok videos. You know,
21:35
Speaker 3: Dana White is bad for boxing, and Oscar Deloya has
21:38
Speaker 3: spoken up. He's definitely never been a fan. He's Oscar
21:42
Speaker 3: Deloya has done his little what do you called clapback
21:45
Speaker 3: videos where he's talking shit and yeah, he's also not
21:49
Speaker 3: very shy about how he feels about Dennis influence. So
21:52
Speaker 3: when you got guys like wrote Jones, guys like Oscar,
21:55
Speaker 3: you know, legends in the sport who've been Oscar still involved,
22:00
Speaker 3: that has been in love most of his life, you know,
22:03
Speaker 3: I'm gonna listen to him. I'm sorry, like, I'm gonna
22:05
Speaker 3: listen to him more than I do. Uh, Dana White,
22:07
Speaker 3: who's UFC is completely on a on another playing field,
22:11
Speaker 3: a different level. So we're gonna keep keep an eye
22:15
Speaker 3: on what happens with with ZUFA boxing. I really hope
22:17
Speaker 3: she course doesn't sign. I've already bummed about Richester Hitsians
22:22
Speaker 3: uh heading over there. Speaking of our boy Devin Benavidez,
22:26
Speaker 3: he said that Gio Pattia he signed with ZUFA, but
22:30
Speaker 3: he wouldn't fight him because they can only fight for
22:33
Speaker 3: a ZUFA belt or something like that. So I don't know.
22:36
Speaker 3: But again, Ryan Garcia is also talking about fighting Connor Ben.
22:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I get. I think that's official actually, as
22:43
Speaker 2: like last night or something like that. But here's the thing.
22:46
Speaker 2: You can't once you start splitting leagues and splitting fighters,
22:50
Speaker 2: the support doesn't work. Like we just saw that with golf.
22:52
Speaker 2: Golf just tried. That didn't work. You can't split the town.
22:55
Speaker 2: There's not enough good boxers to do that, and to
22:59
Speaker 2: split them and have one on one platform one on another. Nah. No,
23:03
Speaker 2: I mean we already have difficulties as is what guys
23:07
Speaker 2: fighting consistently, when they're fighting, where they're fighting, how to
23:11
Speaker 2: watch the whole nine. We don't need a whole nother no, no, no, no, no, no.
23:15
Speaker 2: We can barely keep ahead of the belt. Now. The
23:19
Speaker 2: whole belt thing is weird because a lot of guys
23:21
Speaker 2: are giving up their belts so they don't want to
23:22
Speaker 2: pay the sanction of fees. So the average fan can
23:25
Speaker 2: barely keep up who has what belts? Now, so you're
23:28
Speaker 2: asking us to track of another belt and another requirements situation. No, no, no, no, no,
23:33
Speaker 2: that does not work. That does not work.
23:36
Speaker 3: I agreed. I've I've never really been that down on
23:39
Speaker 3: the what they called the four belt era. It's kind
23:42
Speaker 3: of cool when the fighters try to, you know, go
23:43
Speaker 3: for undisputed and watching them do that, but that's about
23:46
Speaker 3: the limit, Like, let's let's stick there to where we are.
23:50
Speaker 3: And then yeah, there's people vacate too, because not just
23:53
Speaker 3: from the sanctioning fees, but they don't fight mandatories, they
23:57
Speaker 3: change weight classes, and now you've got people fighting for
24:00
Speaker 3: a vacant belt. It's it can be. It can be fun,
24:04
Speaker 3: but it could also be too damn complicated for a
24:06
Speaker 3: sport that that I love because of its siblicity. To
24:08
Speaker 3: be quite honest with you, unlike other sports, I don't
24:12
Speaker 3: have to remember team names. I don't have to remember
24:14
Speaker 3: you know, uh whatever the half dozen players on a
24:17
Speaker 3: singles team versus the other one. Uh So, yeah, there's
24:20
Speaker 3: there's no reason to to make boxing this complicated. Okay,
24:24
Speaker 3: moving on to the next topic here. You know, in general,
24:27
Speaker 3: I kind of wanted to talk about where it looks
24:29
Speaker 3: like the rest of the let's say, the rest of
24:31
Speaker 3: the summer is going, because we've got a lot of
24:34
Speaker 3: names coming back this month, in the next couple of months,
24:37
Speaker 3: basically between now and September. When when canelobites. Sure, not
24:41
Speaker 3: all of them are you know, not all of them,
24:44
Speaker 3: but probably are super exciting or hype, but they do.
24:47
Speaker 3: They are names, and I was kind of interesting. It's
24:50
Speaker 3: it's kind of like a like a stacked few months. Oo,
24:53
Speaker 3: Sik is fighting a kickboxer this very weekend if you
24:57
Speaker 3: listen to what it airs, And yeah, I'm not excited
24:59
Speaker 3: about that, but Usik is a name. Uh And we
25:03
Speaker 3: also got you know, the cards pretty good. We got
25:05
Speaker 3: Jack Caterroll from from England. Richard Torres Junior. He's a
25:11
Speaker 3: becoming heavyweight who Sean porter mentioned to me when I
25:14
Speaker 3: interviewed him that Richard Torres is somebody to keep an
25:17
Speaker 3: eye out on. I've seen him fight before, I've seen
25:19
Speaker 3: him fight live. Definitely hasn't had you know, elite competition yet.
25:23
Speaker 3: But if Sean Porter thinks that we should pay attention
25:26
Speaker 3: to Richard Torres, I'm gonna listen to Shan.
25:27
Speaker 2: Porter exactly exactly.
25:30
Speaker 3: Bevall's coming back in May. He's fighting a mandatory that
25:33
Speaker 3: not a lot of people know, but again, it's still
25:35
Speaker 3: a name. In June, we've got Bam Rodriguez, Xanders ayas
25:38
Speaker 3: Boots Ennis. July we've got Abdulla Mason, Shue Carrington, Anthony
25:42
Speaker 3: Joshua and Earl Spence. So I don't know, I want
25:44
Speaker 3: to get your take on this again, based on the
25:48
Speaker 3: recognizable names people will come back for to watch Eryod Spence,
25:51
Speaker 3: probably this is looking like a pretty good year. Like,
25:54
Speaker 3: how what's your feeling on it? I don't. I feel
25:57
Speaker 3: like last year the year before didn't feel that exciting
25:59
Speaker 3: with a number of big fights coming in.
26:01
Speaker 2: This year is different because there's really no big fight
26:05
Speaker 2: to look forward to. There's no big fight September. There's
26:07
Speaker 2: no oh shit, mega blockbuster, So you gotta fill the
26:12
Speaker 2: weekends with cars. However, boxing shoes every summer because summer
26:17
Speaker 2: once basketball season ends in the next three to four weeks.
26:20
Speaker 2: You have baseball, and you have WNBA and you have
26:23
Speaker 2: the World Cup. There's me a lot of time for
26:25
Speaker 2: people to watch boxing and everything else that you need
26:29
Speaker 2: to flood the time slots with as many events as
26:32
Speaker 2: possible because you can really get fans if you have
26:36
Speaker 2: good fights on for the next three months. You can
26:38
Speaker 2: get the casual fanily. Okay, man, it's it's been NonStop
26:41
Speaker 2: Grade five or grade fight. Yeah, I'm gonna tune in
26:44
Speaker 2: because here's the thing. No one starts out fighting on
26:47
Speaker 2: pay per view. It don't work that way. You don't
26:49
Speaker 2: just start making fifty dollars undred dollars paper no, no, no,
26:52
Speaker 2: you start somewhere and you build, you go, you gradually build.
26:56
Speaker 2: That's how it goes. The summer boxing should be every weekend.
27:00
Speaker 2: There should be a fight. Now what you rattle off,
27:02
Speaker 2: damn there sounds like it. But it should be like
27:04
Speaker 2: that every summer. There should be the norm, not the exception.
27:09
Speaker 3: Agreed, and it stood out to me because it hasn't
27:12
Speaker 3: been the norm. You know, we've got it's not every
27:14
Speaker 3: single weekend, but two big names a month or so.
27:18
Speaker 3: Plus here's the thing, as well, you know, even if
27:21
Speaker 3: we don't know a lot of names on those cards,
27:22
Speaker 3: there's a lot of opportunity to for somebody to make
27:25
Speaker 3: a name for themselves. And yeah, I don't know, it
27:28
Speaker 3: just it does feel very different with this year, these
27:32
Speaker 3: summer fights coming up and again these names that people
27:35
Speaker 3: are either excited for or at least recognizable to say. Oh,
27:40
Speaker 3: you know, we both mentioned how Aero Spence probably needs
27:43
Speaker 3: to retire, but people are gonna watch it. It's not
27:46
Speaker 3: it's not like him coming back. I don't think is
27:49
Speaker 3: as gimmicky as like Mayweather versus Pakiao two or Mike
27:52
Speaker 3: Tyson coming back. You know, it'd be interesting to see
27:56
Speaker 3: Ero Spencer the ring and what it looks like these days,
27:58
Speaker 3: and hey, maybe we'll everybody one hundred percent will be
28:03
Speaker 3: bro You should have retired, you know, years ago, but
28:07
Speaker 3: at least it's something to look forward to. Anthony Joshua,
28:09
Speaker 3: I've never been a big fan, don't dislike the man
28:12
Speaker 3: or anything, just never been a fan. But writing his
28:15
Speaker 3: hype after the meme of the year when he broke
28:17
Speaker 3: All boys jaw last year, his retirement was not because
28:22
Speaker 3: he wanted to stop fighting, he said, you know, he
28:24
Speaker 3: had a couple of members of his team died tragically
28:26
Speaker 3: in a car accident. So between the you know, people
28:31
Speaker 3: regular people just kind of finding out about him from
28:34
Speaker 3: the meme, the ladies, you know, thirsting for him, and
28:38
Speaker 3: you know, the tragedy had to go through again. People
28:41
Speaker 3: are gonna watch. People are going to tune in for
28:43
Speaker 3: Anthony Joshua's return, maybe even more so than would have
28:47
Speaker 3: before if he just announced the fight before any of
28:50
Speaker 3: this happened. And maybe we'll get people regular people seeing
28:54
Speaker 3: a new somebody, another name on the card that they're
28:56
Speaker 3: excited about. So Abdullah Mason always a deed about a duel,
29:00
Speaker 3: Mason being back in the ring. He's got a July
29:04
Speaker 3: fourth fight. I'll be honest, I've never known July fourth
29:07
Speaker 3: to be a big deal for boxing, like seeing Good
29:09
Speaker 3: to my or Mexican Independence Day ASID. But I just
29:12
Speaker 3: don't recall that is that a thing, this July fourth boxing?
29:15
Speaker 2: It should be a thing. It should actually be. That's
29:18
Speaker 2: the craziest part. If if Single to Mile can be
29:21
Speaker 2: a day, if Mexican Independence weekend should be a day,
29:25
Speaker 2: July fourth can definitely be a boxing day because outside
29:28
Speaker 2: of baseball, there's nothing else on. So that can absolutely
29:32
Speaker 2: be a day there's there should be a big event
29:35
Speaker 2: or at least a decent card on that day. Like
29:38
Speaker 2: it makes sense, especially especially it's on the weekend. It
29:44
Speaker 2: should be obvious. But but I think a big part
29:47
Speaker 2: of it is that boxing is an interesting thing because
29:53
Speaker 2: July fourth. The only thing I would say is this,
29:56
Speaker 2: getting the places on July fourth can be problematic. So
29:59
Speaker 2: if you're trying to have an event in a major
30:02
Speaker 2: city on July fourth, it could be problems. Like getting
30:04
Speaker 2: to Vegas on July fourth is not easy right for us.
30:07
Speaker 2: For you, it is because you have clothes, but you're
30:09
Speaker 2: coming from across the country that's a very tough or
30:12
Speaker 2: you're trying to get to New York or LA or
30:16
Speaker 2: somewhere else. I actually being very problematic. So I kind
30:19
Speaker 2: of actually why they may not want to have it
30:21
Speaker 2: on that day. But I do think it's a date
30:24
Speaker 2: that they're missing. I think it could be a tradition
30:26
Speaker 2: to where there should be a card somewhere, to where
30:29
Speaker 2: a this is what this is, how it should be,
30:30
Speaker 2: this is what's up. But but again, boxing I get
30:34
Speaker 2: out of its own way. You know how that goes?
30:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're right now that I'm thinking about it,
30:38
Speaker 3: they're kind of leaving money on the table this uh
30:40
Speaker 3: this year. July fourth is a Saturday, which is cool
30:44
Speaker 3: but just okay when I've gone to watch a live
30:47
Speaker 3: boxing in Phoenix, and what do they do? They play
30:51
Speaker 3: up the fact that a lot of the fighters are Mexican.
30:53
Speaker 3: There's a lot of you know, right, they make that
30:56
Speaker 3: a thing. They make it, you know, play Mexican music,
30:58
Speaker 3: you know their Latin music in general. Why cat July
31:00
Speaker 3: fourth they find a big name American fighter versus a
31:03
Speaker 3: British guy that weekend.
31:06
Speaker 2: You can do it that way too. But man, here's
31:09
Speaker 2: the thing. That's all cute and fine and well, if
31:12
Speaker 2: we just get good fights, it's all good. Like you
31:14
Speaker 2: can do all that too. That helps. But if you
31:17
Speaker 2: got really good fights or this big names fight on
31:19
Speaker 2: July fourth, you will see a shift because what's happening.
31:22
Speaker 2: So our generation doesn't barbecue no more, Like we don't
31:26
Speaker 2: have parties and all that, Like that's hurting to die down.
31:29
Speaker 2: If you bring on, if there's a big fight on
31:32
Speaker 2: July fourth, it changes everything. It changed the whole day.
31:34
Speaker 2: Like there if hypothetically, if Tank were to come back
31:39
Speaker 2: on July fourth. If Tank was fighting on July fourth,
31:42
Speaker 2: and you can all the ones we've seen of him fighting,
31:45
Speaker 2: you know, Tank or whomever whatever, if he was fighting
31:49
Speaker 2: on July fourth, it is a It is a thing.
31:52
Speaker 2: People are tuned in, people are watching, hopefully have a
31:54
Speaker 2: good card. It is a thing. And that's something that
31:57
Speaker 2: people talk about for the whole week because Hey, I'm
32:00
Speaker 2: doing for the holiday, Oh Tanks fighting. Oh once, I
32:03
Speaker 2: want here to watch Tank fight over wing to Vegas
32:05
Speaker 2: for this Oh we're going. That's a thing. And that's
32:08
Speaker 2: where I think the powers that you've kind of dropped
32:10
Speaker 2: the ball because that, you know, and I'm not just
32:13
Speaker 2: saying taking be anyone, but especially him, because that's the
32:16
Speaker 2: guy that a lot of people like watching fight. I
32:19
Speaker 2: think there's action there. I think there's a huge possibility there.
32:22
Speaker 2: But it's just you know, you don't have that this time.
32:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know, why, why are we the
32:28
Speaker 3: ones coming up with this with these ideas?
32:30
Speaker 2: But when you love something, you get ultra creative, right,
32:34
Speaker 2: It's like anything else whatever you love in life. If
32:37
Speaker 2: there's a challenge in the way, you're gonna try to
32:39
Speaker 2: find trying to find a way to solve it. You know,
32:42
Speaker 2: that's the thing you're gonna try to figure out a
32:44
Speaker 2: way about. Hey, you know what, let's do it this
32:46
Speaker 2: way that way and it'll work. But what can you do?
32:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like we shouldn't be the ones, like, yes,
32:54
Speaker 3: we're we're major voices in the sports commentary. I've interviewed
32:57
Speaker 3: Sean Porter, ed Manuel, but we shouldn't be the ones
33:00
Speaker 3: doing this this homework for you promotion companies. But yeah,
33:04
Speaker 3: I think definitely I'm excited to see Abdullah the event
33:09
Speaker 3: with Adula Mason on July fourth. And the thing about
33:12
Speaker 3: it too, summer boxing. It's hot as hell. If you're
33:17
Speaker 3: barbecuing and you're drinking at night. You know, boxing is
33:19
Speaker 3: an evening thing anyway, after the fireworks to watch a fight,
33:22
Speaker 3: that just seems kind of natural, you know that.
33:24
Speaker 2: But also, like here's the thing too, the younger generation
33:28
Speaker 2: ain't barbecuing like that. Sure, Like that's the thing we
33:31
Speaker 2: got to remember, Like we come from that because our
33:33
Speaker 2: folks did that. Like the young generation don't do all that. Man,
33:37
Speaker 2: They either cater or they don't cook like that. Some
33:39
Speaker 2: people don't even know how to real So with all
33:41
Speaker 2: that being said, it's one of those things where you
33:45
Speaker 2: might need to have a fight on to have somebody,
33:48
Speaker 2: you know, figure out the real situation of food situation,
33:50
Speaker 2: because right now people just get together and stare at
33:53
Speaker 2: each other all day, and that's weird.
33:56
Speaker 3: You know what anybody can put can do? Put together
33:58
Speaker 3: a bunch of crockpot hot kids. You know, easy, psy,
34:04
Speaker 3: you got that.
34:05
Speaker 2: Don't white men keep cool? I don't know. Nah, don't
34:12
Speaker 2: be that.
34:13
Speaker 3: You know, I've never been like, I can enjoy good food,
34:16
Speaker 3: but I've never really cared about food as all. So
34:18
Speaker 3: you know, you invite me over, You got a bunch
34:20
Speaker 3: of shitty hot dogs and some chips, and you're having
34:22
Speaker 3: a good time as long as there are drinks. Sometimes
34:24
Speaker 3: there's lots of drinks.
34:25
Speaker 2: No, no, here's the thing. Once you invite somebody over,
34:27
Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta have something. You don't don't write nobody.
34:30
Speaker 2: We grown all right. I don't handle damn hot dog. No, no, no, no, no, no,
34:34
Speaker 2: no no. Once you once you invite somebody over, there's
34:38
Speaker 2: a certain expectation of what's gonna be there. Okay, I'm
34:42
Speaker 2: not saying I'm not asking a five course meal. But
34:45
Speaker 2: our producer is a great thriller himself. I don't know
34:48
Speaker 2: how often he grills anymore, but I know in the
34:50
Speaker 2: past he has definitely did a thing. So when he
34:55
Speaker 2: invites somebody, I know what it is. Some of those
34:57
Speaker 2: people will be messing around. Ain't the same, right, I
35:01
Speaker 2: guess that that's fair.
35:02
Speaker 3: And you know, we are forty, you know, I guess
35:04
Speaker 3: maybe I just kind of forget that I'm forty. I
35:06
Speaker 3: don't have kids, so it keeps me pretty young. So
35:08
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, I'll still go over to house party,
35:10
Speaker 3: have a few beers and have some you know, some
35:12
Speaker 3: boiled hot dogs, and like, I'm fine with that. But
35:14
Speaker 3: sometimes You're right, it kind of hits me and I'm like, well,
35:16
Speaker 3: I can't just live like that anymore. I gotta I
35:19
Speaker 3: gotta grow up a little bit here and there. But
35:23
Speaker 3: but hey, you know, but maybe it's a good thing
35:24
Speaker 3: that I forget that I am that I'm forty. My
35:27
Speaker 3: knees remind me, but my heart, my soul, I still
35:31
Speaker 3: still a young sill. I'm still a young and I'm
35:33
Speaker 3: still young and hip and yeah, but I don't know.
35:37
Speaker 3: I'm excited, like I said about this summer for boxing,
35:39
Speaker 3: for the boxing world. It just hopefully apart from the
35:43
Speaker 3: from the main events, we see some names that are
35:46
Speaker 3: have some hype behind them, some great fights, some people
35:48
Speaker 3: kind of feeling the need to make a name for themselves.

Speaker 3: And more fights, more fights, more cards, more more get
35:57
Speaker 3: togethers with with friends to boxing a communal thing again,
