• 1:06
  Speaker 1: said he feels like you got a weak resume. To me,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you. I don't think your resume
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: is your fault because it's not like you aren't calling
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: out these guys. It's not like you don't want to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: fight the best. Yeah.
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: Actually, I'm the guy that really tried to fight everybody.
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: My last fight, I tried to fight the kid Austin guy.
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: He ended up sick and caught the flu. And I
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: tried to fight Frank Main he pulled out. So I
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: can't really take what really said. Serious really been knocked
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: out before.
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: You and you can't like clown clown somebody like that,
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: can't call somebody like what do you? What's a weak resume?
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: If you won titles in different divisions. He's a former
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: unified champion.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: Besides Tank, what's his resume?
• 1:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah? And he got knocked out truthfully.
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: Any Yeah, any got knocked out.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: So to who who would you want to fight? Who
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: would you love to fight that you feel like you
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: just can't get it done? And do you want to fight?
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: I don't want to keep saying that said, you want
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: to fight thing.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: But I think that's the biggest fight in the sport
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: of boxing from Baltimore.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: You want to thank the knock you out?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Yeall?
• 2:13
  Speaker 8: I want to fight taking. That's nice, But why do
• 2:15
  Speaker 8: you want to thank the sod?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: That sound good?
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: That sounded real good.
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: But she's too little to promise you. Too little, and
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: you're gonna be surprised that night. Matter of fact, you
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: probably thought Lament was gonna get knocked out too.
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: She did.
• 2:27
  Speaker 8: I didn't exactly, I didn't, but not the grease with
• 2:32
  Speaker 8: the Yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Did the fight with Roades change how you looked at
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: tanking anyway?
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: I knew how the fight was gonna go. I bet
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: money and one money that night. I knew exactly how
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: that fight was gonna go. I had my training camp
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: for Sparing, and when he pulled up a Sparing, I
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: kind of knew, like what type of fight he was,
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: the kind of image in my brain how the fight
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: was gonna go with him and Tank and I where
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: it kind of went exactly.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Like I said, I can't won the fight. I thought
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: Lamon one fact, we could sit.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Here and no, I'm not gonna fight.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: With the little knee.
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: I thought lament one Lamar definitely surprised.
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: Even even though they didn't call the knee a knockdown,
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: you still felt Lamark one more rounds.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: Yes, I thought there was at least seven five. How
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: you think the new one's gonna go? The one coming
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: up with fight Lamar? Actually, like, I hope he don't
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: get a rid with him again.
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: Because at the end of the day, if he lose,
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: it's just gonna look bad on the fight with me.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: So it's gonna look like somebody else already did it.
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: He that fight Stock is gonna go a little down.
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: But I heard Tank might be fighting Jake paul Is.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Still what do you think about that fight?
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: If that happens, you think he takes it out of
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: real fighting to uh this is.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: You know, it's a business.
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: So he probably just trying to go get a bag,
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: So I ain't you know, I don't knocked nobody for
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: trying to make a bag.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: But mm hmm, I think he do gotta fight me
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: before he retire.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's interesting, right because this Tank have
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: a great resume when you.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Look at it like that, I think his resume is solid.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: I think it's just kind of down play it just
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: because he kind of weight drained a lot of people,
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: so he ain't really fight guys at his best, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: when he kind of fought the people that was comfortable
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: at the way class, he kind of struggled like pig
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: Bull and yeah, yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: I mean and because he you know, so accepted by
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: our community that you know, the hip hop culture, he
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: became very popular in because he he knocks people out.
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: But when you think about it, I think that the
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: stigma is the guys, the big names, the chakors, the
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: to your females and Devin he hasn't fought those guys,
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: and that's in the back of everybody's mind.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Why don't those fights happen.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: I think it's a lot of politics.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: To Michael a little closer, Yeah, I think it's.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: A lot of politics, though I think it's a lot
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: of people, you know, getting away a certain fight scene.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: It's also fighters too, Like Tank got to be the
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: person that says, I want to fight this guy. And
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: when he says he want to fight somebody, he's gonna
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: make it happen.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: So it's on him.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: You really just flit with a mattrom and Eddie Hurt.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: Uh No, I'm just like you, I realize what my
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: situation is. Whatever I want.
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: So if I want Eddie to be involved, Eddie gonna
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: be involved in If I don't want him involved, He's
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: not gonna be involved. But I actually like Eddie Herner.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: I've been telling people for the longest. I think he's
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: one of the best promoters in the sport of boxing.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: So what do you think about the new Saudi chic
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: that's really been taking over boxing and investing a lot
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: of money in the boxing.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: I like it.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: I like it. It's kind of like a giving a
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: curse because I feel like he wanted to make the
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: biggest and best fights happen, but also he got to know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: like what fighters is the best fighters? Like he gotta
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: understand the sport of boxing a little bit more too.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: So I like it, but still it's like I.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: Want him, like, do a little bit more homework and understand,
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: like who is the best fighters? In you want? If
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: you want the best versus the best, make the best
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: versus the best?
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: Not really can you talk about the little I guess
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: not disagreement but miscommunication you have with him because you
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: fought in Saudi against Padley, you say you have the
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: biggest bag of your life over there, and you made
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: easy work of Paddley and you had a two fight
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: deal with Mattrow and then for this payd the fight
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: you put out on social media. They promised me a
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: certain amount of money and now they backtracking on that.
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: But then then you put out a tweet saying we
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: got it together, we figured it out. So explain that
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: whole situation.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, I can't really tell all the details.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: All I'm gonna say is like in business, you're going
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: to go back and forth, you know, like God feels
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: he's worth this and somebody say, oh no, you're worth this.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: So at the end of the day, I'm a guy.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: I stand on principal, I saying on integrity. HM, we
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: got it together. So shout out to Jay Prince.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: He came in and the situation.
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: Because I spoke to her and yesterday and I asked
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: him the same thing and he was like, well, the
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: original deal was for Chakorta fighting Saudi, and when you
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: fight in Saudi there's a premium, you get a little
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: bit more. This fight is supposedly going to be in
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: Central Park. I don't know if it's true. That's the rumors.
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: That's why it was a little lessons that something like that.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's something according to that. That was what
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: I heard. But like I said, I don't.
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: Try to speak to.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: What do you think about that? It was giving you
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: a little backlass because they said you apologize just to
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: get a higher pay day? Did he say that? Like,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: all right, man, you better apologize for that.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: Now the day it was kind of a miscommunication and
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: I kind of reacted quick instead of thinking about what
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: I was doing. So with the miscommunication, I kind of,
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: you know, that's why I just had to, you know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: be a man and do what I had to do.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: Tight shit, And you.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Said something else that makes a lot of sense. Who
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: is talking to the about boxing?
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: That's what I'll be saying.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: I feel as though, like I ain't gonna say the
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: people around him, but I do think that a lot
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: of people need to do their homework enough to understand
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: what's what once they understand it. Just like with this car,
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: they got me the Cole main event under you know,
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: my homie. I ain't gonna say nothing bad about him,
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: but I'm the biggest star in the car and I'm
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: the guy that's like people want to see I'm in
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: the biggest fight. I got the best resume, Like I
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: ain't even gonna say resume because they try to trash it,
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: but I got them. I'm the most accomplished too, so
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: just to put me on like his under car, they
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: really don't mean.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't even look at the card. I just assumed
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: that that was the main event.
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but I heard that. It's kind of like what's
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: happening in tom Square. They're like all made events, like
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: kind of Cole Maine or Maine.
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: Even if they was main event. Take me out that car.
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: What do you think that car does? Like nobody really
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: gonna pay attention to it. They paying attention to it
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: because it's me.
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, you're the only multi division champions. So
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: I hear you. I hear your argument. But as far
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: as Turkey, I'll touch on that too. He's a real
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: fight fan, right, he loves the sport and he's obviously
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: poured so much money into it, so he wants to
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: get it right. He'll take you know, Eddie Hearn knows
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: the sport and other people, so he's trying to make
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: it better. But when you come into something like that,
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: you might make mistakes. Here and there. But I think
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: he's he's put so much air into the sport, like
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: so much life into it that you know, these fighters
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: are happy.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: He is making the best fights to me over the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: last couple of years.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he tried to make the best fights,
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: but it's still you know, I like, I like the
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: biggest and best fights.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: I want to fight Tank now.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you, what's your opinion on the
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: way that these fights, like a Times Square fight in
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Central Paul fight and how does that affect the box
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: because it could be too humid out there, So so
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: how do do you like those type of fights where
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: it's just off.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Brand of what it usually is?
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: Or I don't care where I'll fight that we can
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: fight anywhere, truthfully, but you got.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: A link on your face when you have your.
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: You almost got.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: It looking at that.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: But nah, No, I think that the Central Park and
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: I think that's cool.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: Like I think you know people who are performed in
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: Central Park before, So it's gonna be a big event.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: I'm all for it.
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: Has Turkey have you ever had a conversation with Turkey,
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: you j Prince about Tank and like, has he ever
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: said that I'm gonna make tanking off for the fight.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: You now, he definitely want the tank fight. You want
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: to tank, Like I said, it all up the tank.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: So he got just come on board and let's make
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: a big ass bad let's do it.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: When you talk about fighting outside, do you think there's
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: like an underappreciated mental side to boxing that fans and
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: commentators don't understand you talk about.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, yes, I think like a lot of people
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: don't know about boxing. I remember it was a quote
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: where Roger Maywell said, most people don't know about boxing.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: That's a fact. But you know it brings odds to
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: the sport.
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: You know, you got the YouTubers now in the sport
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: of box. He got a lot of people that's paying
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: attention to it. So I appreciate the viewers, but I
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: do think people need to do a little bit more homework.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I think it's a sweet science. I mean I think
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: even with you, you know what I mean, Like if
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I've seen people somebody called you to who wasn't recently
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: that called on the best defensive fighter ever Sean Porter,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I don't remember a lot of people. So it's just
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: like it's like a sweet science to what you do,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Like it may not be knockout knockouts all the time,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: but you're a fantastic boxer.
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know some nice I may come out there
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: and put on the amazing performance and put on the
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: offensive display like I did with Jamel Harris. So it
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: just depends on what happens that night or what I'm
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: feeling that night.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: At the end of the day.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: You think you can hurt Tank your fight, Yes.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: I mean you gotta realize Lamar had no disrespect to
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: Lamar either. He had what ten knockouts I got, well Elevin,
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: we ain't too far off, and he was kind of
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: hurting them too, So if he could hurt I know
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: I can heard him too.
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: What about you? And Lamar was here last time we
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: was over here and I asked him about you if
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: I guess if the Tank fight doesn't happen, Perfect, We
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: was talking about if he wins. He said, yeah, she
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: calls on my list next Perfect.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: I think that uh me and him been talking about.
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: This for years, so like I already like my boy.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: I'm real cool with him, but we could really squabble
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: at the end of the day. So if you come
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: down to it and Tank say he don't want to
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: fight him again, I'll go fighting my next.
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: Let's talk about your bro Keyshawn Davis right like, obviously
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: he on fire right now, he about to fight Dello
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: Santo's a common opponent that you fought, and people are
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: really trying to put you out against each other, not
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: not only in a fight, but just like, oh, I
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: think he gonna beat Delo Santos better than Chakour did.
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: Do you worry about that at all?
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: Nah, because at the end of the day, I want
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: him to.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: Like, at the end of the day, you gotta realized
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: when I met Keith Shan was like thirteen years old,
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: little bad kid from the gutter, and it's like I
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: kind of like grabbed him up, like this is my brother.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: May come better and shit. So it's like now to.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: See him evolving, to see him become world champion, that's
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: something good for me.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: Like if he go out there and crush Dela Santos,
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: that's good for me. That makes me feel good about
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: just myself too.
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: You taking them under the wing and all that.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like my brother. So at the end of
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: the day, I'm not.
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: Most fighters are throwing shots at that. They're like, man,
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: the ain't no friends or brothers in this business. I
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: don't know why your court saying he'll never fight Key
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: Shawan and vice versa.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: But if you have somebody that you're really close with,
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: you gotta get in the ring and you gotta kill mentality.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: He gotta kill mentality. It's like what you're talking about,
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: I don't want to hear that shit.
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: So I feel I fight.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: Tell any fighters that got something to say about it,
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: like me, how about that?
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: How difficult to not take boxing personal because you'll all
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: going in there and beating up on each other.
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's very difficult.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: You gotta still understand it's the business in the sport
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: at the end of the day. That's why I kind
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: of used to go wrong. I used to always take
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: it personally. I used to feel like because it's my
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: life at the end of the day. So I'm just
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: at a point where it's like, I understand it's a business.
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: I understand it's a sport. Just how you said Tank
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: going to fight Jake Paul. That makes sense, Like, I
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: get why you will go fight Jake Paul, but just
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: don't retire without fighting me.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: It's how I feel that smoke.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: So you know, the Tank j Paul think is cool
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: if it's a real fight. I mean, I really mean that.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know how real these fights are.
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: Well, Jake Paul fights are real. I'm gonna speak on
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: his behalf because I've you know.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Fake fights before.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying they fake, but I think people might
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: hold back a little bit, like the Tyson fight.
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: Oh that's a real fight.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Tyson that's a real fight. Put
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: it like this. If Tank don't knock out Jake Paul
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: within thirty to forty five seconds, it ain't real to me.
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: WHOA Why do you feel that way?
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: There's little Jake Paul is like two hundred plus on
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: the regular.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I still think I still personally believe Tan shold knock them.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I remember when May wasn't Logan.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: Paul, you thought he should have not.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't thin he should knock Logan out, but
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: he made Logan look silly. So Tank with his powers
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: should be able to clean up.
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: But Jake is way better than his brother Logan. That's
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: to start to knock out Jake Paul. I mean that
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: can happen, but I I just don't know how that
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: fight makes sense because he's so much heavier than them,
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: so I don't know how they gonna make We.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Thought about that with the Mayweather Logan and I was
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: telling everybody, y'all think Logan is gonna come in there
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: and knock me Weather out. No, like Mayweather the greatest
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: fight of all time. He's a boxer.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: Power like I get. The power is real. I get
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: all of that.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, that's a man
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: that's like almost one hundred pounds bigger than him.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: So I don't see it, you know.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: So what that said one of your mentors is also
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: but and he's going up a lot of ways to
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: fight Canelo.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: But it ain't a hundred pounds fifty right.
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: Right now. He had one fifty four, So it's just
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: two way class sixty eight. Yeh. I think you started
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: that whole thing right here when you said would you
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: fight him? Cannelo, Bud comes up to one six stick,
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: would you fight? And I was about to.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: That was our only do it become the one sixty
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: eight man.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: I've been saying that for years.
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: Though I've been saying for years I think Buddo to
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: be Canelo. I think Bud just got the style at
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: a out box Canelo. I've seen Canelo get out box
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: several times, so I think Budd is the guy.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: What did you think Budd was gonna lose?
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: When he thought and everybody was gonna lose and he
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: came in here, Charlamagne is gonna lose.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: He came, I'm saying that for you because I've always
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: been an Earl Spens fan. But god damn.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: Actually I had been a lot of money that night too.
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: I made so much money that night. I've been in,
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: I've been I wasn't kent with Bud, Like I've seen
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: how he was trained, I've seen how he was feeling it.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: He just had a chip on the shoulder, and watching
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: him with that chip on his shoulder it kind of
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: like motivated me, like it was like a very motivational situation.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: So close with it.
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: Terrence Crawf Right, that's my brother. Yeah, I saw yesterday.
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: He was like, you matter treat my brother right when
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: they come up there? Did you hear whatever May said?
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Though?
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: Who mace?
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: Mace?
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: What he say?
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: May had this to say, He said, I don't want
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: to see chaqour fight. I'm gonna be honest, No, disrespecting nork,
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: but I don't want to see Chicour fight nobody for
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: him to be hanging out with Terrence Crawford and Andre Ward.
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: It's absolutely no way that he's fighting the way he's fighting,
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: you know.
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: Like like like I said with the other people, like
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: I can't really take some of these guys too serious
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: because it's like they make a living off of trolling people.
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: Like trolling is what they do on a regular basis.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: So even before when I kind of reacted to them,
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: I don't feel the same way now now was like, Okay,
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: I understand the business aspect of it, so quotos to him,
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: but I'm gonna keep making money. I'm gonna keep being
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: the best, and none of these niggs could be me.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: They're not saying anything about you that they didn't say
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: about somebody like a Floyd like because people do not
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason, people don't respect defensive fighters.
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: Even wars. She mentioned Ward. They said the same thing
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: about Dre Yeah, yeah.
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's a stigma the black fighters who
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: don't get out box people, but like a limit Chenko
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: or Befoll can go out box the same people and
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: you don't never hear no boring things on them, So
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: I just hear it, but it is what it is.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Does that get into your head when you're in the ring, though, like,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: because you know you got your style, does it make
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: you feel like y'all want to be a little bit
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: more aggressive? I do want to try to get a
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: knockout just to shut people up.
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it kind of did, And that's where I'll be
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: going wrong because I always realized my knockouts come from
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: not trying, Like I don't expect it when I knock
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: people out. But with that like in mind, is like
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: you gotta tame tame yourself. You gotta calm down, relax,
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: and not look for the knockout. When you look for
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: it, it kind of get sloppy and it gets a little ugly.
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: So me knowing that now, I just go in there
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: and not looking for it, and if it comes, it comes.
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: You know, you're You're a big lightweight in my opinion,
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: like one thirty five, so you obviously I don't think
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: you small. I've seen like where I think you could
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: be at one it will be a fair size in
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: that division. So obviously, if the tank fight doesn't happen,
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: there's so many fights at one forty.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: Like I said, I will move up for the big fight,
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: for the big fight if it's like a little fight
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: that don't make sense, like I'm really not a forty pound,
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: Like really, no, I'm not a forty pound.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm barely even a third.
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: You don't think you in your career at least at
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: one forty seven or something.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: I used to think that, but nah, no I think so.
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: I mean I will go there for the right fights.
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: Like I just watch a kind of been I like,
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: kind of being too.
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: No disrespect, tough.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: But I would fight him at like what I told you,
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: for the right I swear.
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: I him kind of tough man. He throws hard punches.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: Like I said, for the right fights, I will move
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: up in the hard to get get up to that
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: kind of weight. I mean, you have to, like I guess,
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: train a little harder for as weight wise and put
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: on a little bit more weight.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: But I think skills pay the bills.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: Like I feel like with my skills, I can fight
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: a lot of guys at the higherway class. Well that
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: slowed you down defensively though, Nah, my defense is always there.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: Like I said, I spar with Bud on the regularly.
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: I sparred with big guys regularly, so it ain't gonna
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: slow nothing.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: It was Sean Porter who said he feels like for
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: my last camp, okay, okay, so that maybe that's what
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: he got that from it. He said, I've never seen
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: a fighter with the kind of defense that should call
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Stevenson has and he says he feels that you're He
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: feels like your defense is even greater than Maywell.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: Shout out to Sean Porter, man, that's my guy.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: Actually when he pulled up, when he pulled up, he
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: shout out to my youngest back head to this Moses
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: and Maywell chance young fighters, my little cousin and THEMN
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: and my little brother too.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: So mm hmm. Young fighters coming up. They professionally to fight.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: But but how did you feel when Sean said that
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: about you?
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: I appreciate it because Sean actually been in there first hand.
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: So he went to the ring and sparred me, so
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: he's seeing what I can do. And when he got
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: out the ring, he kind of knew like, Okay, he's
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: the guy. So I appreciate Sean. Actually, I feel like
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: if Sean wanted to come back right now, he could
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: come back for the right fight.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he kind of surprised me. He did six rounds
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: with me, so I respect him.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: If did you did you study made Weather?
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: Okay, I study everything about Floyd from head to toe.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: When he heard that or if he heard it, did
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: he hit you up? Like all right, now, you don't
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: don't think you better than me?
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: You know, Floyd sowhere. Floyd didn't hit me up and
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: say nothing like that.
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: Floyd is actually a cool dude for me personally, Like
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: I hit the stories about him, I don't really take
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: into it because he kind of won.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: On one with me.
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: Cool, but he wouldn't say something like that.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like competitors right now, I would love to.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: But like the thing is, like even when I watch,
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: because I know he probably a little hesitating about sparring
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: the young fighters now because with Devin's situation, they kind
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: of put out there that they beat him up and
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: all of that.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: I'm not that type of dude.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: Like if I sparred Floyd, nobody would know how it went.
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: It would be just me learning. Like I wouldn't even
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: go in there to try to like Floyd older now,
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: so I wouldn't going there to try to get off
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: on Floyd. I'm going in there to learn, Like, Okay,
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: let me watch his reaction, let me see how his
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: speed is at this age. What little tricks he got
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: going there. I probably take them tricks and use them
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: in the ring for myself. So that's just the type
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: of dude I know.
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: Is a fighting that that you kind of fought and
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: really got off on him, but you actually personally like him,
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: and you're like, damn, I wish it didn't have to
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: be him. I wish you didn't have to beat him.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: Herring l Harry.
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: Everybody thought I was beefed out with him because we
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: were going back and forth for the fight, but.
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: And you killed him.
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, But at the end of the day, I really
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: like him, Like as an individual, he's like a super
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: cool individual. He always like looking out for me before that.
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: So I appreciate you man, thin like you answer he
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: actually does. Actually, Yeah, we're cool.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: What's something you learned outside the ring that's helped you
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the most inside the ring?
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: Some of I learned outside the ring that helped me
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: the most. The smartest man will win. That's in any
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: situation when it comes to business, m anything. The smartest
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: man is always going to win, And I think as
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: far as boxing, being being able to out smart my
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: opponents is kind of what took me over the edge
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: with everybody.
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: This took Ryan go see it a lot of people
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: saying he's so com I mean the controversy aside with
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: the Devin thing, right with the PD thing. He obviously
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: we saw him beat Devon bad and he was at
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: a weight where he was comfortable. So how does a
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: Tank and Ryan fight play out if it was at
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: one forty or weight that that Ryan was more comfortable.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: I think it'll be a very different fight. I think.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: I think Tank is like, he's a good fighter, but
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: like the Ryan Garcia that he fought that night wasn't
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: the same Ryan Garcia that Devin Haney fought.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: And Ryan was feeling good and you actually seen when
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: he fought Tank.
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: He didn't have no respect for Tank, Like he wasn't
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: scared to Tank at all. It just was the fact
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: that he wasn't able to take the punches that was
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: coming back at him.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: So I think it'll be a very different fight.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: So you beat you beat William on July twelfth, Let's
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: just say you beat Winning on July twelfth. Tank beats Roach,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: but then take goes to fight Jake Paul Tank. Don't
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: want to call Stevenson fight? What does she call Stevenson
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: do for his legacy and his resume?
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: Then I just keep working, keep working, fight the next
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: best available opponents, and stay focused.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: At the end of the day, the movement doesn't revolve
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: around home. So whatever he got going on, he got
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: going on.
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: If he says he don't want to fight me, he
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: retires without fighting me, that's cool.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: That's on his legacy. He got to live with that.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: But truthfully, for me, I fight the next available opponents.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: I fight Lamont Roach, I fight maybe running back with
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: an Edwin Della Santos or something. So honestly, I just,
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: you know, just stay focused in I think my time
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: is gonna come.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Would you be disappointed if you don't ever get that fight.
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: I would just be disappointed in the fact that the
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: way he was talking, like the way, oh I'm going
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: he on my list, here on my list, and like
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: the way he kind of put out threats in a
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: way like like somebody's supposed to be scared of that shit.
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: It will be disappointed that we don't get to clash
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: in the ring.
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: But if he go do that.
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: Fucking who's the next best? Start? Like is it a
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: Ryan or to your female? Like where it would be
• 25:34
