0:31
[SPEAKER_00]: reviews and recaps every single week whenever there's a fight worth walking about.
0:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's certainly where this week.
0:43
[SPEAKER_02]: You're listening to the central Indiana Sports Report with your host, Greg Mendelz.
0:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Hanson Crafton is here to recap a wild Saturday in the fighting world.
0:58
[SPEAKER_00]: We had Dustin Porea's final fight.
1:02
[SPEAKER_00]: We had a couple of interesting decisions.
1:05
[SPEAKER_00]: We had a couple of big boxing matches.
1:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And I say even a couple of surprise performances, Hanson, let's start with the boxing.
1:13
[SPEAKER_00]: And let's start with the Usek unbelievable performance by him.
1:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I think however Du Bois was very underwhelming.
1:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think he had a bad game plan to me.
1:27
[SPEAKER_01]: It looked like his game plan was to go in there and try to take loose it out, which nobody's been able to even get close to doing.
1:34
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know why that would been in the game plan, but looked like he kind of gasped himself.
1:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I do say he probably, I don't know if he won the third round, but he had his best round was the third round, but you can tell he kind of left it all out there trying to chase it, sit down.
1:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Then the fourth round he got beat up pretty good.
1:53
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he got stopped in the fit.
1:55
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I don't think he had a really good game plan going into it.
1:58
[SPEAKER_01]: It did look like he was just trying to chase us and down and hit him with some hard shots.
2:03
[SPEAKER_01]: But I mean, the way he fights is he can keep going down and down and he didn't look very good at all.
2:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if that was him or if it was just too sick.
2:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it was a did look great, which has a nice little bond in his job.
2:25
[SPEAKER_01]: His work works really good.
2:27
[SPEAKER_01]: He always stays on the outside.
2:29
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's able to get his jab over top at all times.
2:32
[SPEAKER_01]: He just looked very good.
2:33
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a very good boxer in that showed Saturday.
2:36
[SPEAKER_01]: His counter punching was good, even on his back foot and even it starts not down.
2:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the voice hadn't been the corner.
2:42
[SPEAKER_01]: And he hit him with a combination, not good boy stand.
2:44
[SPEAKER_01]: So who should cook out standing?
2:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Either that thirty eight years old, you know, he didn't look like they slowed down at all.
2:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, he looks like he could probably keep going a couple more years if you wanted to.
2:55
[SPEAKER_00]: In the fifth round of look like Dubois did not want to get even get up at all.
3:00
[SPEAKER_00]: He did get up and then went down about fifteen seconds later and he had no interest in getting up again.
3:07
[SPEAKER_01]: No, he did.
3:09
[SPEAKER_01]: It looked gas, his legs were shot.
3:11
[SPEAKER_01]: He was already wobbly.
3:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he, he wanted away out of there and oops, it gave it to him.
3:17
[SPEAKER_01]: No doubt about that.
3:18
[SPEAKER_01]: What's next, you think?
3:21
[SPEAKER_01]: It's interesting.
3:22
[SPEAKER_01]: He said after the fight, he wants to take a little bit of like I said.
3:28
[SPEAKER_01]: He told him to park her.
3:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know, the theory talks already started.
3:32
[SPEAKER_01]: It sounds like it could be a trilogy with a tie superiority.
3:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd like to see a younger guy get a shot, but we'll see there's not a lot of options when it comes to younger guys right now.
3:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
3:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they're the kind of all fighting each other.
3:46
[SPEAKER_01]: So it will be interesting.
3:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we'll know something within the coming months.
3:52
[SPEAKER_01]: But until then, I really don't know which way they'll go.
3:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, one thing we definitely know, Hansen is that Mani Pacquiao's return is legit.
4:01
[SPEAKER_00]: He looked solid.
4:02
[SPEAKER_00]: If not pretty good.
4:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And if he wants to fight Floyd Mayweather, I think that would be in the cards, wouldn't it?
4:08
[SPEAKER_00]: He, the speed was definitely there.
4:11
[SPEAKER_01]: He still looked at great shape.
4:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I would think the only thing I would say about is it looked like maybe his power's gone a little bit.
4:17
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, May, used to be able to pack a little bit of a touch.
4:20
[SPEAKER_01]: It didn't ever really save Mikey.
4:21
[SPEAKER_01]: He heard Barrio Stimier had Barrios in the trouble, but the speed
4:26
[SPEAKER_01]: was still there.
4:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I was very surprised with this combination punch and steel.
4:30
[SPEAKER_01]: He was still able to get inside and throw multiple punches at a time.
4:34
[SPEAKER_01]: It looked like he hadn't taken five years off, honestly.
4:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, and I don't know if he looked the same as he has looked, you know, his championship form, but he still looked like a very competitive boxer in there with another with another good boxer.
4:49
[SPEAKER_01]: A burial is not a bad boxer, but Pacquiao did.
4:52
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it was
4:54
[SPEAKER_01]: was it was a weird fight.
4:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't really tell if the corner kept telling barriers.
4:58
[SPEAKER_01]: He was giving too much respect.
4:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know really what they were saying there, but it looked like tacky.
5:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I was just a lot faster than they expected him to be.
5:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no doubt about it.
5:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I was surprised how he was pretty much able to control the pace of the fight.
5:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he didn't need time bears trying to get inside.
5:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been like I said, he would land a multiple punch combination and it looked like it just kind of
5:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, just look like it threw barrels for a loop.
5:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what he was expecting in there.
5:27
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, just look like he was surprised with it.
5:30
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I honestly was too.
5:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't think many would come out.
5:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Look that quick, that fast.
5:34
[SPEAKER_01]: His movement was still really well.
5:36
[SPEAKER_01]: He was able to get inside and out.
5:38
[SPEAKER_01]: And like I said, any time barrels with for something, he kind of was able to counter him and land multiple shots to make him have the reset.
5:45
[SPEAKER_01]: How'd you feel about the division?
5:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I scored a lot.
5:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I had burials win in seven, five, but
5:53
[SPEAKER_01]: All the rounds are really close.
5:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, a couple of the early rounds really could have gone either way.
5:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
5:58
[SPEAKER_01]: So once they said it was a draw.
6:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I thought could have seen it going seven and five either way.
6:03
[SPEAKER_01]: The draw is probably the correct decision there just because the rounds are so close.
6:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I really don't know if you give some of those early rounds to do feel like barriers took the late rounds.
6:12
[SPEAKER_01]: The many did slow down.
6:13
[SPEAKER_01]: But I guess that's, you know, these boardy six years old and there first find it five years.
6:18
[SPEAKER_01]: You got to expect that.
6:19
[SPEAKER_01]: So I gained the later.
6:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I had burials winning the last three rounds, which I thought he needed to win the fight.
6:25
[SPEAKER_01]: And one point I had many up by a few rounds, but I was okay with the decision there.
6:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I felt like, you know, like I said, it could have went seven or five either way, but the draw is as kind of I was okay with that decision.
6:37
[SPEAKER_00]: And it really works for both fighters.
6:39
[SPEAKER_00]: It allows Pacquiao to do the Mayweather fight if he wants it allows Mario to retain the bell.
6:45
[SPEAKER_00]: It kind of worked out for everybody.
6:46
[SPEAKER_00]: It kind of seems like there were some back dealing there.
6:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, let's just call this a draw.
6:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly.
6:53
[SPEAKER_01]: That's part of the best decision for both of them.
6:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you said, and many can still do the Mayweather fight if he wants or he could take another fight.
6:59
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Mario still gets to go home with the bell.
7:01
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I think that was probably the decision that everybody wanted there at least.
7:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And the two boxing undercards and anything that was interesting to you.
7:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I want some really good fights, uh, bam, Jesse Rodriguez, look to Outstanding.
7:15
[SPEAKER_01]: He had a twelve round knockout of the catch two.
7:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Cat Boo was eleven and one going into it.
7:20
[SPEAKER_01]: So, Bam retained his WBC and go B.O.
7:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Super flyweight titles.
7:24
[SPEAKER_01]: He looked out standing.
7:25
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a guy that's, uh, he's an top ten pound propound fighters in the world right now.
7:29
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was a very good performance for him.
7:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Isaac Pickable Cruz looked very good in honor card fight.
7:35
[SPEAKER_01]: And he did have a late opponent change, Omar Sassido.
7:39
[SPEAKER_01]: And Sassido was, I mean, that guy's got a chin.
7:43
[SPEAKER_01]: He took punches the whole night.
7:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think he won around.
7:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm pretty sure it was a wiped out for Cruz.
7:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Cruz looks fantastic.
7:51
[SPEAKER_01]: He just, somebody on the internet said he fights like he has rabies.
7:55
[SPEAKER_01]: The way he fights, he just, he's four, four, four, four, his pressure is relentless.
8:00
[SPEAKER_01]: He throws body shots, you wouldn't believe.
8:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, hard body shots,
8:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Leach with his left hand, he put it on him and and and so I see don't ever even look like he was going to go out.
8:12
[SPEAKER_01]: He did look like he'd probably got a little hurt a couple times with nothing really to make you think he was ever in real bad danger and cruise put it on him.
8:20
[SPEAKER_01]: After the old twelve rounds, I put it on.
8:22
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a very good performance for crews, especially for a late change of opponent.
8:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Cecito was a lot bigger than crews.
8:29
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of guys, crews fights are bigger than he's a smaller guy for the late class.
8:33
[SPEAKER_01]: So he did retain his WBC super lightweight title.
8:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he'll probably get the fair of rematch again.
8:41
[SPEAKER_01]: But you never know, he could go anywhere from there.
8:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Cecito earned respect from a lot of viewers in that fight.
8:48
[SPEAKER_01]: But I don't know where he'll go from there.
8:49
[SPEAKER_01]: He'll probably fight the guy he was supposed to fight before he took the cruise match.
8:54
[SPEAKER_01]: But I thought cruise looked outstanding.
8:56
[SPEAKER_01]: And in for door looked great.
8:57
[SPEAKER_01]: And his stop and Joe were Tim Sue.
9:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Tim Sue did respond to the
9:02
[SPEAKER_01]: to the Bell in the seventh round.
9:04
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a great performance.
9:05
[SPEAKER_01]: He took him to drop him in the first round.
9:08
[SPEAKER_01]: And then it was just, it was the underdog.
9:11
[SPEAKER_01]: And Tim just couldn't ever get in.
9:13
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Fendor, like I say, it's very big for the way of class.
9:15
[SPEAKER_01]: He's super tall.
9:16
[SPEAKER_01]: And he just shot boxer.
9:18
[SPEAKER_01]: He keeps he throw straight punches.
9:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't really loop anything.
9:21
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's able to get to his target quick.
9:24
[SPEAKER_01]: And with that range of distance, he has, you know, he's going to have that advantage over everybody.
9:28
[SPEAKER_01]: He was just saying, want to stick to him.
9:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Tim couldn't get in there.
9:31
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, even
9:32
[SPEAKER_01]: When Tim Zoo had his best round, I'd say was probably the sixth.
9:36
[SPEAKER_01]: He couldn't come out of corner after just because of the end of the round.
9:38
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, he started getting hit with some big shots again.
9:41
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he was just kind of one point out on his feet, took him a long time to get to his corner after that round.
9:46
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he just knew he had enough and four of what Fendor brought that night.
9:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Fendor looked really good.
9:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I said, he stayed behind as his jab.
9:55
[SPEAKER_01]: He'd let it get away a couple times and that's when Tim would start having success.
9:59
[SPEAKER_01]: But when he can't pepper that jab out there and if they're on that straight left, I mean, he was he was in control of that fight.
10:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he looked really good.
10:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if he'll get the fight he wants.
10:09
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, he was holding out for stance.
10:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, Spencer's going to come back.
10:13
[SPEAKER_01]: He said he wants to fight blood, Crawford.
10:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if Crawford's going to fight out, but they can never fight.
10:17
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe he can get in there with Charlow and do a look good.
10:21
[SPEAKER_01]: He'll have plenty of fights that they'll be able to choose from after their performance, I think.
10:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's move to some MMA and USC, three, eight, teen.
10:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Before I say what I'm going to say here, my criticism hands, and I want to start with saying, why those guys, there's a reason it's called the BMF belt because those two guys
10:44
[SPEAKER_00]: are bad dudes, but here's the thing I wanted to say before we talk about that, Hanson is, why can't we just make their faces to score cards?
10:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if you look at their faces, there's no doubt who won that fight.
10:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's a thing about MMA, you know?
11:00
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was the difference in the second fight that had, you know, Max is a good combination, puncher, good boxer, Napoleon lands the harder shots.
11:08
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, that's right.
11:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, Max did hurt Toria in the first round.
11:12
[SPEAKER_01]: He hurt him in the second.
11:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Napoleon was able to hurt him in the second as well.
11:15
[SPEAKER_01]: It seemed like Max has the volume, but when Toria would land, he did more damage.
11:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
11:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And the sixty five punches landed to twenty four in the first round should carry more weight than the four rounds that were close.
11:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
11:30
[SPEAKER_00]: It could be an overall scoring system, especially if you're going for the BMF belt.
11:37
[SPEAKER_00]: It should be an overall scoring system and not round by round.
11:41
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my criticism of a fight like that.
11:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And those types of fights, but the way
11:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Next fight to this is kind of how, you know, he's a volume puncher.
11:51
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a small guy for the weight class, so he doesn't really.
11:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I was surprised he dropped him in the first round honestly, you know, I thought they're both bad dude.
11:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Handsome.
12:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was it was a really good fight.
12:02
[SPEAKER_01]: It kind of saved the card.
12:03
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the car was very underwhelming going into it.
12:07
[SPEAKER_01]: All underdogs won except for the main fight.
12:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Which was very surprising, but like I said, last time we talked, you know, when in the made the odds aren't really like the iron box, you know, rocks at the end of a big favorite.
12:18
[SPEAKER_01]: That guy, not times that tins going to win an MMA.
12:21
[SPEAKER_01]: You could be a big favorite, but with a ground game, stand-up game, you know, if you're a really good stand-up guy and you slip on a banana pill, get taken to the ground.
12:30
[SPEAKER_01]: You could get submitted and just kind of.
12:33
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just very strange odds with MMA, you know, a lot of times you'll see guys minus four hundred minus five hundred still lose fights.
12:40
[SPEAKER_01]: And there were two on that card, you know, Kevin Holland was a second biggest favorite.
12:43
[SPEAKER_01]: He got beat.
12:44
[SPEAKER_01]: He got dropped a couple of times in his fight.
12:46
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Michael Johnson was the biggest underdog on the card and he won his fight.
12:52
[SPEAKER_01]: So the car was kind of underwhelming, but the main fight to be a met fight saved.
12:56
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a, it was a really good fight.
12:59
[SPEAKER_01]: It was kind of one of those spikes where you're on your edge from all five rounds.
13:02
[SPEAKER_01]: You really didn't know like any bike of finishing a bike.
13:05
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the last ten seconds, you know, max points at the ground.
13:09
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they go away for the final time in minutes.
13:11
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a really good fight.
13:13
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a great fight.
13:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought if you're talking about who is the baddest dude to pour you on that fight, what a way for him to go out.
13:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, that's how boy is always thought he's always been like that.
13:26
[SPEAKER_01]: It was it was a great career of the nice little package video for him after the fight.
13:30
[SPEAKER_01]: They sent him off the way they should have he had a great career and he deserved he deserved the way that it ended.
13:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I had max when in that, but it was close and you know, it's kind of.
13:41
[SPEAKER_01]: time share thing, you know, the rest or the judges, you know, a close fight.
13:45
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not going to give it to the guys, but you can answer.
13:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I think if you score it the way that USC scores that then hallway one, but if we're talking about who just won the fight, I think,
13:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm pretty going school yard, you know, written it outside.
14:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I like both guys come inside and you're going to say, yeah, we're going to fight.
14:05
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
14:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Kind of a mess after that.
14:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And wouldn't just face either.
14:10
[SPEAKER_00]: You said earlier, uh, the hallway hurt him in the first round, the second.
14:15
[SPEAKER_00]: There was not around where either one didn't get hurt.
14:18
[SPEAKER_00]: They both.
14:20
[SPEAKER_00]: they were just back and forth just stunning each other.
14:24
[SPEAKER_00]: And they just come back and charge at the other guy.
14:27
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's fighting, Anthony.
14:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
14:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
14:29
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a, that's just both of those guys.
14:32
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how they fight there.
14:33
[SPEAKER_01]: They're two really good guys to put in there.
14:35
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, there's, there's a handful of guys that really deserve to fight for that being met title.
14:40
[SPEAKER_01]: And those were two of them right there.
14:42
[SPEAKER_00]: No doubt about it.
14:43
[SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of respect shown in the end.
14:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like poor.
14:47
[SPEAKER_01]: They said, you know, those are like the same thing with the BMS.
14:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Those are also two of the good guys in the fight game.
14:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Very respectful.
14:55
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't see any bad things out of guys.
14:57
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, they both do a lot for charity and stuff.
15:00
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's those are two really good guys to complimenting each other on their punches as they were getting it.
15:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
15:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
15:08
[SPEAKER_01]: They have fun when they're in there.
15:09
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, those are real averages.
15:11
[SPEAKER_01]: They have fun.
15:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Hanson, as always, it's been a lot of fun talking fighting with you.
15:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're going to start doing it twice a week when there are big fights and big results like this one.
15:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And fight weekends like that don't come along very often, so it was a lot of fun.
15:29
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a lot of fun.
15:30
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a lot of fun.
15:31
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the person started me at that afternoon.
15:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Lucy can now walk about five o'clock.
15:37
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
15:38
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was too different from there on.
15:41
