1:06
Speaker 2: fruits living when I'm done, when I retired, you know,
1:08
Speaker 2: it's on top.
1:09
Speaker 4: You know. I'm at one forty seven. Obviously you were
1:15
Speaker 4: winning big fights, but they attached you to Bud Crawford
1:17
Speaker 4: so much, and now you're at one fifty four. Do
1:21
Speaker 4: you feel a lot strong at that weight? Like, is
1:24

1:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, I feel way stronger this week. Class.
1:32
Speaker 2: I should have probably been moved up, but as you know,
1:34
Speaker 2: I would standing down there, you know, trying to you know,
1:37
Speaker 2: your undisputed down there, and uh those guys are down
1:41
Speaker 2: there playing around, and uh so I had to, you know,
1:43
Speaker 2: move up. And then I think that was the best
1:44
Speaker 2: decision I made, because I think I would have stayed
1:46
Speaker 2: that way for too long.
1:47
Speaker 4: I gotta ask you this, like, I know you'd be tired,
1:49
Speaker 4: tired of talking about Bud, But I remember a couple
1:51
Speaker 4: of weeks ago, there's a Gillian Walla put out a
1:54
Speaker 4: video and bub was on the other side, saying I
1:57
Speaker 4: would knock I would knock the boots out, Like, did
2:00
Speaker 4: you watch that? And what was your reaction to that? Man?
2:02
Speaker 2: I mean camp, I don't even remem about what he retired.
2:04
Speaker 2: I ain't remember, and now he got going on. I'm
2:06
Speaker 2: like that, I'm focused on tasking and that's in his ice,
2:08
Speaker 2: but on it you.
2:10
Speaker 4: Still want to fight him though, I'm not. Thank you.
2:13
Speaker 4: I said this part of you still wish you could
2:15
Speaker 4: fight him.

2:18
Speaker 3: No, No, you are great.
2:22
Speaker 2: I'm different. I'm trying to tell you I'm different, but
2:25

Speaker 2: you I'm different. Y're gonna see, you know, y'are going
2:32
Speaker 2: to see.
2:33
Speaker 5: How are your nerves at this moment for your fight
2:36
Speaker 5: coming up with Xander, because both of y'all are undefeated.
2:38
Speaker 2: How are your nerves listen, normal day regulated for me?
2:41
Speaker 2: You know, I've been doing this since I was a kid,
2:43
Speaker 2: so this ain't nothing to me.
2:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, what did you realize you were just good?
2:47
Speaker 4: You were you were special?
2:50
Speaker 2: I think I kind of like, I think I knew
2:52
Speaker 2: that maybe when when I was in the imagery and
2:55
Speaker 2: I was just running through you know, running through the
2:57
Speaker 2: tournaments and whenning you know, three four tournament street, so
3:01
Speaker 2: I knew that. I was like this, this is really
3:03
Speaker 2: what I do and it's a natural ability for me.
3:06
Speaker 2: We got what got you in the boxing my dad
3:09
Speaker 2: and my brothers was two former boxers, you know, well
3:12
Speaker 2: three former fighters. My damn my brothers.
3:15
Speaker 3: Your father trained you.
3:16
Speaker 2: And my dad trained me. My brother Derek poo in
3:19
Speaker 2: this and Friday Caris Stern he was coming up in
3:23
Speaker 2: the rink is at Super Bowl, I mean super you
3:25
Speaker 2: know SUPERWORL tweet at the time in Super middleweek, so
3:28
Speaker 2: it was ranked high. There was a vision and yeah,
3:31
Speaker 2: I just it's my turn, you know, I just watched
3:33
Speaker 2: them all my life. They for ESPN in the show time,
3:36
Speaker 2: and it's like a natural boring thing for me.
3:38
Speaker 1: How do you separate being coached like by your dad
3:41
Speaker 1: from simply being being his son, because you gotta still
3:44
Speaker 1: got to go hard on you. I mean, he cool
3:46
Speaker 1: to me, you know, I know, I mean, I know
3:48
Speaker 1: he going, I know he's going, you know, push me
3:50
Speaker 1: harder than others because you know what I could do.
3:52
Speaker 2: He know my abilities and things like that. So so yeah,
3:55
Speaker 2: I love it though. I love having my dad's on trainer,
3:57
Speaker 2: and uh, I don't know where i'd be without him.
4:00
Speaker 3: Tell people to selementary school.
4:01
Speaker 4: Haven't for sure fight in school?
4:05
Speaker 2: I mean I had. I had this one little wasn't
4:07
Speaker 2: even a fight. I was. I was in third grade
4:10
Speaker 2: and the kid was in fifth grade or whatever, and
4:13
Speaker 2: uh who was playing football and I had mossed them.
4:15
Speaker 2: I caught the ball over room and all that, and uh,
4:18
Speaker 2: he got mad and he pushed me. So I just
4:21
Speaker 2: I just socked him and I got like a demerit
4:23
Speaker 2: and all that and the demerits like kind of like
4:25
Speaker 2: in school just mentioned. So I got one of those,
4:28
Speaker 2: and nobody messing me ever since.
4:31
Speaker 6: We're like, what's one thing that you watched with your
4:34
Speaker 6: dad and your brother in their careers that like you
4:36
Speaker 6: were like, all right, when it's my turn, I'm gonna
4:37
Speaker 6: make sure that I do this a bit differently that
4:40
Speaker 6: you see happening for you now.
4:41
Speaker 2: I mean, well, they instilled into me, like yo, just
4:44
Speaker 2: basically like keep putting the work in and stay in
4:47
Speaker 2: the gym because you never know, you know when you're
4:49
Speaker 2: gonna get that call, and like leading women alone, like
4:52
Speaker 2: leader party alone, all that stuff going to be there,
4:54
Speaker 2: you know, and just just block in. And that's what
4:57
Speaker 2: I've been doing, you know. So they gave me the
4:59
Speaker 2: blueprint for a U and I just took it from there.
5:01
Speaker 4: You know. With Xander, he's at one fifty four uh
5:05
Speaker 4: two tigers. He holds two belts, and everybody keeps saying
5:08
Speaker 4: he's big boots. Never fought anybody of that size. But
5:12
Speaker 4: there's rumors that in the gym you be knocking like
5:14
Speaker 4: heavyweights out and stuff, like you used to fighting big guys.
5:17
Speaker 4: That true.
5:18
Speaker 2: I'm used to fighting bigger. I love I love fighting,
5:20
Speaker 2: you know, the bigger guys. And like you said, I've
5:22
Speaker 2: been I've been playing guys out with eighteenes on, so
5:25
Speaker 2: you know, and I got this extra weight on me,
5:27
Speaker 2: you know, moving up in the week, so I feel
5:29
Speaker 2: I feel great, you know. And they keep telling he big.
5:31
Speaker 2: He not even really. They keep wearing these little platform shoes.
5:35
Speaker 2: I'm like, bro, probably the same height, like, if anything,
5:37
Speaker 2: you might be a little bit tall.
5:39
Speaker 1: Mean, I ain't about what's the point of wearing platform
5:42
Speaker 1: shoes that like a psychological.
5:43
Speaker 2: Shot it, I guess, trying to make it seem like
5:46
Speaker 2: he tall.
5:46
Speaker 7: I don't know.
5:47
Speaker 2: I don't care. It don't man, you could be six five,
5:50
Speaker 2: I don't matter. I don't care who it is.
5:53
Speaker 4: For real.
5:53
Speaker 1: I saw Max Kellerman say that you need a defining
5:56
Speaker 1: win against Xander.
5:58
Speaker 3: I feel like they said that every fight you do.
6:00
Speaker 3: They say you need to finding.
6:01
Speaker 2: Win every single time, you know, and they're doing the
6:04
Speaker 2: same thing. I feel like they're doing the same thing
6:06
Speaker 2: they did when I first stand on this, kept saying
6:08
Speaker 2: this is fifty fifty fighting, and then when I beat
6:09
Speaker 2: him easy, they be like, oh no, it was trying,
6:11
Speaker 2: damn playing making said like he was a bummer the
6:13
Speaker 2: whole time. He was undefeated at that time, he was
6:18
Speaker 2: a champion and nobody wanted to fight him. I extra
6:21
Speaker 2: fight him. So like, I don't know these guys.
6:24
Speaker 4: Because they're not popular. Like if they're not popular in
6:26
Speaker 4: American culture, people assume it they're not good fighters. But
6:29
Speaker 4: there is you do see that that there is another level,
6:33
Speaker 4: right that that you have to kind of conquer to
6:37
Speaker 4: be considered that Stanionis is great, but they're better fighters
6:40
Speaker 4: out that. Do you think Xander is better than Stanionis?
6:43
Speaker 2: I can't really say. I can't really say. We'll see
6:46
Speaker 2: we'll see on Saturday.
6:49
Speaker 7: Are you afraid of having a loss on your record?
6:51
Speaker 2: I'm putting network to win and all I do is win,
6:54
Speaker 2: and you're gonna see on Saturday night.
6:57
Speaker 3: Do you think fighters protect their record too much? I
7:00
Speaker 3: think that's the Floyd made.
7:01
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, for sure, I think so. A lot
7:03
Speaker 2: of these guys don't want to, you know, get in
7:05
Speaker 2: a mix and fight each other. So you know, I
7:08
Speaker 2: do condemn him for, you know, taking the fight because
7:11
Speaker 2: he had He ain't had to fight me. He could
7:13
Speaker 2: have for somebody else. But but no, I fight anybody anywhere, anytime,
7:17
Speaker 2: So you know, I'm ready.
7:19
Speaker 3: Why is it so hard to get the fights everybody
7:21
Speaker 3: wants from? From from a fighter's perspective.
7:24
Speaker 2: I would say probably, like a lot of guys probably
7:28
Speaker 2: maybe maybe it might be like the money situation type thing.
7:30
Speaker 2: Maybe that maybe with that, maybe with that, That's about it.
7:34
Speaker 2: Though I can't really, you know, say too much. You know,
7:36
Speaker 2: I can't speak for other people, but I would say
7:39
Speaker 2: probably like the money and like the behind the scenes part.
7:41
Speaker 4: But you got to understand that to this is prize fighting, right.
7:44
Speaker 4: They risk their lives in there and they're trying to
7:46
Speaker 4: create some some sort of security for their families. You
7:49
Speaker 4: can't just accept whatever comes now, for sure, So you
7:52
Speaker 4: understand why some fights don't get made.
7:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure it's that. And I know it's other
7:56
Speaker 2: stuff involved on top of the money too, So you know,
7:59
Speaker 2: it could be like the word the fight is taking place.
8:01
Speaker 2: It could be the no just split or like it
8:05
Speaker 2: just there's a bunch of things that could be. You know,
8:06
Speaker 2: and people, some fighters or some people might not want
8:10
Speaker 2: to you know, do that you ever turned down.
8:12
Speaker 4: To fight because they know Eddie wasn't offering you enough money? No, no,
8:18
Speaker 4: so you will let me take whatever, like money, like
8:22
Speaker 4: like they ever came with the offer, like the fighter
8:24
Speaker 4: person who's like, nah, that's not enough.
8:26
Speaker 2: I mean, Eddie comes to till he come right. So
8:34
Speaker 2: like you know what I'm saying, Eddie comes, he comes
8:36
Speaker 2: to till he come right. So him on my team.
8:39
Speaker 5: So the right is the conversation in your head like
8:41
Speaker 5: before going into the fight, like an hour before you
8:45
Speaker 5: fight this weekend, what is the conversation?
8:47
Speaker 2: Nothing? I just be chilling, I be mellow, I'll be
8:50
Speaker 2: locked in. You know, I'm I'm heavy. I'm heavy, you know,
8:54
Speaker 2: Uh into my word into God and stuff, like that.
8:56
Speaker 2: So I do my prayer, my mind do her prayer
8:59
Speaker 2: with me, and I'm cool. That's it. I got, I
9:03
Speaker 2: got faith, and I already know I want, I want,
9:05
Speaker 2: I want already. You know I'm a winner. That's what
9:07
Speaker 2: I do.
9:08
Speaker 1: I feel like you get you've been getting penalized for
9:10
Speaker 1: being too good. But that's the one thing I've always
9:12
Speaker 1: heard about Boots for years. It's like, it's not worth
9:14
Speaker 1: fighting him. It's not worth fighting that young bull. You know,
9:17
Speaker 1: every everybody see that. Every all these old fighters be
9:20
Speaker 1: seeing it. Everybody everybody see it.
9:22
Speaker 3: You know.
9:22
Speaker 2: They just trying to make it seem like it's not dead.
9:26
Speaker 2: And when these these guys themselves say to them, so
9:29
Speaker 2: I will I will never fight him. I will never
9:31
Speaker 2: fight drum Boots in this it's it's saying it through
9:35
Speaker 2: all these fighters say that, all your favorite fighters.
9:37
Speaker 1: So.
9:38
Speaker 4: But at some point, if you become the star that
9:41
Speaker 4: you know that you know you're you're going to be,
9:44
Speaker 4: they can't avoid it. Like, especially if you could be
9:46
Speaker 4: the guy for the big money fight eventually where they
9:49
Speaker 4: have to take it. You feel like you're hit in
9:51
Speaker 4: that direction.
9:51
Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like at the Saturday Night
9:53
Speaker 2: That's that's what it's gonna be. You know, I feel
9:55
Speaker 2: like everybody gonna want to fight me now because I'm
9:58
Speaker 2: that guy.
9:59
Speaker 6: I saw someth right or said that this is you
10:01
Speaker 6: finally got your opportunity to prove your greatness, like this
10:03
Speaker 6: is your signature fight.
10:04
Speaker 2: So you feel that way, I think. I think so
10:06
Speaker 2: because I'm in another weight division. It's probably my second
10:09
Speaker 2: time unifying another division, so so for sure it's a
10:12
Speaker 2: legacy moment for me, you know, a legacy defining career
10:16
Speaker 2: moment for me as well. So I'm ready. I'm ready.
10:20
Speaker 4: You ever been in a ring and said to yourself,
10:22
Speaker 4: I gotta look a little sloppy just to get people
10:25
Speaker 4: to want to fight me. I can't destructive. Let me
10:28
Speaker 4: let him land a few shots, look vulnerable. You ever
10:32
Speaker 4: crossed your.
10:32
Speaker 2: Mind to be honest, I mean coming up earlier, maybe, yeah,
10:38
Speaker 2: I'm like, because ain't nobody get get in the ring
10:40
Speaker 2: with me. I gotta try to make something. But you
10:42
Speaker 2: know with me, they you know, they try to find
10:44
Speaker 2: any little thing anyway, So I can't even do that,
10:46
Speaker 2: Like like they always they say I can hit too much,
10:50
Speaker 2: But every time I get out the ring, I don't
10:51
Speaker 2: have no bumps, no cuts, no bruises. You see the
10:54
Speaker 2: other fighters eyes closed, bleeding like I don't. If you
10:59
Speaker 2: really watch me, I really don't get hit that hit
11:00
Speaker 2: that much and barely at all. And if you if
11:03
Speaker 2: I do get touched, I'm rolling with the shots. Like
11:06
Speaker 2: people don't understand the concept of rolling with the shots.
11:09
Speaker 2: It might it may look like I'm getting hit, but
11:11
Speaker 2: I'm not.
11:11
Speaker 4: Once you're trying to knock people out, you're gonna be
11:13
Speaker 4: in a line of fights.
11:15
Speaker 2: And I said, I'm an entertainer fighter. I ain't. I'm not.
11:18
Speaker 2: I'm not here to be playing around and all that like,
11:20
Speaker 2: so I mean, let me, let me have let's let's
11:24
Speaker 2: just say I have a fight and I just box
11:25
Speaker 2: the whole time. I can box the old time, and
11:27
Speaker 2: I get hit at all, like playing all day. But
11:32
Speaker 2: at the end of day, I know, I realized that
11:34
Speaker 2: you just gotta do what you you want to do
11:35
Speaker 2: and do what's best for you because you can't please everybody.
11:38
Speaker 2: Only people you can please it yourself and your family.
11:41
Speaker 2: And that's what I'm like. I ain't. I'm not here
11:42
Speaker 2: to please nobody else but me and my family. And
11:45
Speaker 2: I know what I could do I know, I know,
11:46
Speaker 2: I know, I know I'm the best and everybody gonna
11:48
Speaker 2: see on Saturday.
11:49
Speaker 1: Do you think it's a fight that you have to
11:51
Speaker 1: fight the best to bring out the best version of yourself.
11:55
Speaker 2: I feel like for sure. I think so, yeah, for sure,
11:58
Speaker 2: because when you fight a guy, it makes you go
12:02
Speaker 2: to the next level, even even if it's the fight
12:04
Speaker 2: super easy, it makes you go to the next level.
12:06
Speaker 2: That's why I'll always be trying to you know, the
12:08
Speaker 2: top guys, the best guys, and because I know when
12:11
Speaker 2: it's a live body in front of me and it's
12:14
Speaker 2: for something, for titles, anything, I get nasty. And they
12:18
Speaker 2: know how I get. Everybody know how I get this boxing,
12:20
Speaker 2: know how I get I do not play.
12:22
Speaker 4: So who's the guy? I mean? Because you know, people,
12:25
Speaker 4: I don't want to look past that. And I think
12:26
Speaker 4: he's a phenomenal young fighter and he's champion for people
12:29
Speaker 4: still want to see you against Virgil Ortiz or now
12:33
Speaker 4: Fron Door after Fron Door, stop Thurman, that's another guy like, oh,
12:38
Speaker 4: he's gonna be too long for Boots anything.
12:43
Speaker 1: I don't like watching in the ring. It's just something
12:45
Speaker 1: about him that's like awkward.
12:47
Speaker 4: Like yeah, he's six six. Yeah, I mean, but who's
12:53
Speaker 4: that guy, like to Charlemagne's point, that's gonna bring the
12:55
Speaker 4: best out of it.
12:56
Speaker 2: I feel like, right now, at the moment, two things
13:00
Speaker 2: that I want and I'm gonna take them. So I
13:02
Speaker 2: would say it's in there right now, and I'm at
13:05
Speaker 2: the Saturday. You know, I will be victorious and I
13:06
Speaker 2: will hear those two busts around my waist and my arms.
13:09
Speaker 2: So then you're gonna call from Dora and we're gonna beat.
13:11
Speaker 2: It's up with any and everybody. You don't know who
13:13
Speaker 2: it is. I'm trying to tell you they're about to see.
13:16
Speaker 2: They about to see for sure.
13:17
Speaker 3: Do you feel more pressure? I guess. You know, going
13:20
Speaker 3: after championships, are going after the legacy.
13:22
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's kind of like the same thing
13:24

21:06
Speaker 2: you know I got I got time and so you
21:08
Speaker 2: will see.
21:09
Speaker 4: You don't have an age in mind where you don't
21:10
Speaker 4: want to fight past this age. Most fighters say the time,
21:16
Speaker 4: I don't want to never do.
21:17
Speaker 2: I don't want to give you another Then I'm I'm
21:19
Speaker 2: still fighting. You're still fighting, still beating people up. I
21:23

21:28
Speaker 2: Your body will let you know for sure for sure
21:32
Speaker 2: you're not not fighting before. Yes, drawing, that's out of pocket.
21:34

21:40
Speaker 3: George Forman too, Yeah.
21:41
Speaker 2: I'm cool, that's that's drawing. I can do something.
21:44
Speaker 4: They want to a light heavyweight title after after forty. So,
21:48
Speaker 4: so what's your cut off? Thirty five? Thirty seven?
21:51
Speaker 2: I can't believe it's before. I'm gonna say before.
21:55
Speaker 6: If you get like a certain the right fights with

22:13
Speaker 2: I'm like yo, you're still fighting, or like no.
22:16
Speaker 1: You feel like Bud did it perfectly because because you know,
22:19
Speaker 1: he didn't get the bigger fights told later.
22:21
Speaker 4: Right, so he didn't fight tons of times and got
22:24
Speaker 4: the money that I agree with that. I think that
22:27
Speaker 4: might I.
22:28
Speaker 3: Mean, I don't want to put that on you with
22:29
Speaker 3: that might end up being your path too.
22:30
Speaker 1: If people keep wanting to done no for real, you
22:34
Speaker 1: might not get the bigger fights till later.
22:36
Speaker 4: You know what I thought about? Like Canelo? Right, Canelo
22:39
Speaker 4: is one of the biggest faces of boxing still right,
22:42
Speaker 4: there's really no other name for him right now. I
22:47
Speaker 4: talked about Spence. I threw that out there if he
22:48
Speaker 4: wins his next big fights. But what about you going
22:51
Speaker 4: up the one six day eventually and fight Canelo? Could
22:53
Speaker 4: that be the marquee fight where you get the biggest bag.
22:57
Speaker 2: I don't. By the time I get to sixty on,
23:00
Speaker 2: you know, you're gonna be boxing no more.
23:01
Speaker 4: You just as big as kidnap for sure that long.
23:05
Speaker 2: You know I am? But you know, I mean, I'm
23:07
Speaker 2: at fun fifty for right now, and I'm here to
23:08
Speaker 2: click on these boats on this division.

23:13
Speaker 2: One sixty, we're gonna we're gonna one way class at
23:15
Speaker 2: the time.
23:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, But if that fight presents itself, you're gonna skip
23:18
Speaker 4: one sixty to go to one sixty eight.
23:19
Speaker 2: Well see, we'll see, you know, we'll see.
23:22
Speaker 4: And you're fighting the Puerto Rican bro New York is
