• 1:09
  [SPEAKER_05]: Welcome back, fight fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for Hans and
• 1:16
  [SPEAKER_05]: here to recap the weekend, but really we're here to recap, Bud Crawford, after the fight for people who don't know and I don't know why you're listening if you don't know.
• 1:28
  [SPEAKER_05]: Bud Crawford dominated Canelo Alvarez in a unanimous decision to win three different major belts.
• 1:38
  [SPEAKER_05]: And after the fight, Hanson Canelo said that Bud Crawford
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I agree.
• 1:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'd like you said the last time I'm a big, blood Crawford fan, I'm biased towards blood Crawford.
• 1:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's, I think this win puts blood Crawford on the bout box amount Rushmore.
• 1:59
  [SPEAKER_05]: The box amount Rushmore?
• 2:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think so.
• 2:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Wow, that is big, Brazeman.
• 2:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think his resume speaks for itself, you know, three time, three weight undisputed in the four belt air and nobody's done that.
• 2:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: And just the way he's beat some of these guys, you know, like I said, he had that streak of stoppages over a who's who's list of names, uh, that he destroyed Earl Spencer at the time was a pound for pound top three.
• 2:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Some people thought he was number one pound for pound.
• 2:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was undefeated and then to do what he did to Kinello and the way he did to Kinello.
• 2:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it was, um, you know, the history, it was the sweet science.
• 2:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, some fans, if you were just watching, just because it's a big fight, you don't really watch boxing.
• 2:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Some people might thought I was a boring fight.
• 2:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not as good as the performance as it was, but I thought it was a great performance.
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: The lateral movement was outstanding.
• 2:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: He beat him to death with his jab.
• 2:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it was a great performance by Bud Crawford.
• 3:00
  [SPEAKER_05]: It was a great performance.
• 3:01
  [SPEAKER_05]: I do want to say that I thought it was a bit dull.
• 3:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was a high power chest match, you know, you don't want to go to the slug it out with a a punch or like canelo, plus the way Bud was able to fight him, you could tell, but then the fight canelo was frustrated, you know, he just couldn't, like Muhammad Ali's to say, you know, you can't hear what your eyes can't see.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: uh... canillus couldn't hit the uh... you know the lateral move was good which i think that was probably a strategy going into he probably was a lot of tape and realize that canillod does struggle with guys who move well at only uh... canillod likes to set traps that's what he likes to do is a counterpuncher and he likes to set traps that though they're big right hand is nice left hook on the bud state out of that you know if you notice any time they got close
• 3:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: but through combinations and then he, you know, answered the phone, he had his hand up, ready to block the right hook, and he got his hand down, ready to block the hook to the body.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, Kinello didn't really land many shots on but throughout the fight, I think, but he just threw or landed 200 more punches than Kinello.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Crazy.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, it was just, it was just a master class, you know, I thought the fight was, wasn't as close as the scorecards.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know where he got one.
• 4:17
  [SPEAKER_05]: After the fight, it was completely obvious who'd won that fight, and nobody watching that fight could say that Canela won this fight, and the scores were 1-16-1-12, maybe I could maybe give you that one.
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_05]: But the other two were 1-15-1-13, and that's freaking ridiculous.
• 4:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, it's it's crazy.
• 4:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what they were watching.
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I watched, you know, intently the whole fight.
• 4:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Give them all of the fifth.
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's about it.
• 4:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I think I gave Kinello two for sure rounds in one baby.
• 4:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 4:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then that was, you know, like I said, I watched that thing on the edge of my seat.
• 4:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I was really invested into it.
• 4:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Had a nice parlay on the line.
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, and then I'm not the smartest or the most, you know, there's probably
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: people know a little bit more about boxing and I do, but I think I don't know enough to where I can watch a fight and tell you who wanted who didn't win.
• 5:12
  [SPEAKER_05]: You're not a judge, but you could be your six year old niece could have watched that fight and told you who wanted.
• 5:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: But he beat him everywhere, even after the fight, Canelo, you know, somebody asked Canelo, there's like, what was it, you know, was it the speed?
• 5:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: was at the distance, was at the power, you know, what was it?
• 5:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he said that he couldn't adjust the style and he said the butt had everything.
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then that's exactly what I saw.
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, going into the fight, you know, when I said, well, I was talking about it on here.
• 5:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the fight went exactly like I thought it would.
• 5:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: But if the speed carried is what I said, and it looked like the speed carried, and he used it to his advantage.
• 5:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he used a longer fighter, and he fights with a jab.
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: He used a great jab throughout the fight.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was able to get close and throw punches inside, you know, he had Kinello with a few good left hands, a couple really good uppercuts, good shots to the body, you know, he didn't shy away from the contact, though the lateral movement was part of the strategy when it was time to go in there and throw, he threw and looked like he got the best Kinello on the inside as well as the outside.
• 6:19
  [SPEAKER_05]: Is there anyone for Crawford?
• 6:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
• 6:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's 37 years old.
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't I don't think he's going to ease in the position where he needs money.
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's going to stick around and put himself and fight.
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: See, doesn't need to be in.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't even think he's
• 6:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: you know he's he's a fighter's fighter.
• 6:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think we'll see him get into those stupid exhibition fights.
• 6:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe they do the rematch just for the fan's sake.
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you know it will be a huge payday for him again.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: But honestly, you know, I could see blood probably retiring.
• 6:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, he retired 42 and no.
• 6:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: The only three weight on the speed of champion in the four belt era is not retiring hands and I could see it I think it's not retiring I really don't know if there's anything left for him to do maybe Benavito For that don't open a VDS can get back down to 168 so
• 7:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, but he started seven.
• 7:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, he's he, he, I don't know, he probably wants to ride off to the sunset.
• 7:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, like I said, I mean, may do the rematch.
• 7:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't see a really reason to do a rematch.
• 7:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't either, I don't think it would, there's anything that would be different in the second fight.
• 7:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: No.
• 7:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think an L.A.
• 7:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: landed some good shots and bobs able to take them.
• 7:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that'd be Kinello's only chance and that fight is to her bud and look like he couldn't do that.
• 7:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then like Teddy Atlas said in his post fight, I wouldn't want to give the judges another chance to screw Crawford, you know, it's like they tried to win that one, we know making it 1-15-1-13 on two cards, I don't know if you want to give them another chance at that, so I honestly don't think they'll be a rematch, I think if he does anything, it might be the benefit as fight, but I just don't know if benefit as can get back to 1-68, he had trouble getting to 1-68 when he fought there.
• 8:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's moved up, moved up a weight class and I think he'll probably stay there and I don't think but I'll go any heavier.
• 8:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, one, six, eight seemed to be probably as big as he needs to go.
• 8:26
  [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, so kind of odd that he's so much better than everybody else at this point.
• 8:31
  [SPEAKER_05]: And I want to say this, at least the comparison to me whether the my first thought was, yeah,
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_05]: Maybe right.
• 8:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, that and and Crawford's going to give you a little bit more offense.
• 8:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, maybe whether it's strictly defense.
• 8:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
• 8:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Crawford's going to give you a little bit more offense.
• 8:48
  [SPEAKER_05]: One of the most boring fighters I've ever seen.
• 8:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but man, his defense was really good.
• 8:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, the best game is don't get hit.
• 8:56
  [SPEAKER_05]: But that's not what people want to see.
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, no.
• 9:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's, you know, it's just, I've seen a lot of people complain, you know, going from the UFC to that.
• 9:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: They were like, oh, the UFC fight was just so much winner-taining.
• 9:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's too completely different sports.
• 9:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, like I said, box in the sweet science, there's certain things people won't pick up and not fight a good box that Matt said, others will, that, you know, people like me will tell you is a more dominant skill than just going in there and going blow for blow with somebody.
• 9:27
  [SPEAKER_05]: Maybe all the fights need to happen in Japan because they got the scores right.
• 9:31
  [SPEAKER_05]: You're surprised that in a way went the distance, but dominating scores.
• 9:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I watched that fight and it just seemed like, you know, there's there's a couple of ways to fight in a way.
• 9:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you fight in my card domes did, you know, card domes was successful.
• 9:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was able to take a drop in a way early in that fight.
• 9:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: He caught him with some big punches.
• 9:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: But you got to put yourself in danger to fight him like that.
• 9:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I just don't think that his opponents Sunday morning was willing to do that.
• 9:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he was okay with trying to win a decision or lose a decision.
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he was there to go out on
• 10:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: many ways of big-time counter-punchers well now he will lead the dance some too But I just seem like anytime in a way put the pressure on he was able to escape I didn't really seem like he was willing to get in a firefight within a way and so I think that's why I was so dominant though I just don't think the guy was there to win What's next for anyway?
• 10:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Knocketana.
• 10:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's actually special
• 10:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, there was that fight that we mentioned the other day.
• 10:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's already got one schedule for December, but then that's another kind of warm-up fight.
• 10:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Noctatini is going to be on that card as well.
• 10:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's probably going to be the co-man event and then them two probably will meet for just a huge fight at 126 pounds.
• 10:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, you go have to have, you know, two of the better fighters in the lower weights, you know, 27th in Riyadh against Allen Picasso.
• 11:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Picasso's the, he's the mandatory, I think he's WBO mandatory for 1206 pounds.
• 11:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think in a way kind of has to fight him.
• 11:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: But like I said, Nekatani's going to be on that undercard.
• 11:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then if all goes well for both of those guys, they're going to fight in early 2026.
• 11:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: And like I said, it's going to be a huge fight.
• 11:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Probably be over in Japan.
• 11:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that'll, I mean, you probably could put that in a Tokyo Domino fill it up.
• 11:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it ends up.
• 11:29
  [SPEAKER_05]: Any chance for Picasso?
• 11:32
  [SPEAKER_05]: I don't think so.
• 11:32
  [SPEAKER_05]: Because I know he's a good fighter.
• 11:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, they're all good fighters.
• 11:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Once you get to a certain level path, you have a handful of guys that are just special
• 11:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, even in his last few fights when he's brand-in-self and the trouble being a little aggressive, he's still able to come back and get those victories and get stoppages to in ways just one of those guys.
• 11:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's super dangerous, but he's also a really good fighter and he's super intelligent in there as well.
• 12:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, like I said, he does get sometimes and he gets a little aggressive.
• 12:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think he's kind of learned from that, um, and he's just, he's a fan of favorite.
• 12:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: He wants to get the knockout.
• 12:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: He likes to get the knockout.
• 12:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: So sometimes he does go for it, but as you saw in his last fight, Sunday, he will pick you apart for for 12 rounds if he needs to do that as well.
• 12:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think in a way, just has more ways to win, uh, than Picasso does.
• 12:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think he'll, he'll beat Picasso and then go move on to the huge knockotani fight.
• 12:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: two-part question are those the best two pound for pound in the world now after this weekend and are they your two favorites there are two two of the three I still have to put oosec in there just for what he's done I can't take that away from oosec but yes I think buds probably pound number one I'd probably go oosec two and then in a way three oosec's not that good he's fighting against a pretty weak
• 12:57
  [SPEAKER_05]: heavyweight division.
• 12:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: You can probably beat who they put.
• 13:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Right.
• 13:01
  [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I give it.
• 13:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I still give it to him.
• 13:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, he was the cruise weight world champion as well.
• 13:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: So he's cleaned out two divisions now.
• 13:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: I still give him credit for that.
• 13:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I do think the heavyweight box and his down compared to what it used to be.
• 13:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I hope so.
• 13:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just think now all your big
• 13:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, the Americans.
• 13:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
• 13:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 13:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 13:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: American American American.
• 13:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, as I still give music a lot of credit, you know, I thought very highly of Tyson Fury and for the U.C.
• 13:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: to beat him twice, it kind of jumped U.C.
• 13:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: up on my all-time list as well.
• 13:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: So as I still put U.C.
• 13:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: in the top three powerful pound, but I definitely think in a way in Bud Crawford or there as well.
• 13:47
  [SPEAKER_05]: So it was a great weekend for you.
• 13:49
  [SPEAKER_05]: Tell me what happened in the UFC.
• 13:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: UFC went kind of like I thought.
• 13:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I said when you had two guys with very bad blood, there was two ways the fight could go.
• 13:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Lopez ended up getting a stoppage in the second round.
• 14:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think of Silva just got to, he let his emotions get the best up in the first round.
• 14:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was doing okay in a standup.
• 14:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: He tried to throw a little spinning back, he got taken down.
• 14:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Lopez was able to control him on the mat a little bit.
• 14:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then in the second round, Silva started picking my par, a little bit on the feet.
• 14:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he started to get a little too aggressive.
• 14:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of like I talked about in his fight before with Bryce Mitchell coming in with his hands down, throwing punches, kind of lean on me, lean on him,
• 14:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he seemed like he had Lopez hurt.
• 14:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: He hadn't backed up against the cage.
• 14:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he went for, he just was leaning into his punches.
• 14:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Got caught off bounce.
• 14:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Lopez hitting with a little spin and elbow.
• 14:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Knocked him down, and he was able to finish the fight.
• 14:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it was a good fight, those really entertaining.
• 14:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: And like I said, to be interested, see what they go from there.
• 14:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, I think Lopez will probably need one more fight before he gets another title shot.
• 14:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then Silva's probably got to climb his way back up.
• 14:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Silver can, he's not terribly old for the sport.
• 15:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was on a really good run in the UFC.
• 15:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was on a really good run before he got to UFC.
• 15:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he just trained together a few more fights and probably get a rematch for Lopez if he doesn't get a title shot.
• 15:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it wasn't an awful performance for Silver, especially in the feet.
• 15:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: But like I said, I think he just got a little too aggressive.
• 15:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: He left himself out there.
• 15:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: He got hit with something big.
• 15:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that was the difference, and that's what I said would be the difference in that fight other than like a Bryce Mitchell when he fought him You know low-pass can throw stuff back to hurt you.
• 15:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know Bryce Mitchell couldn't so little so civil was able to kind of stalk him hands down Do it every one it on the feet low-pass isn't like that.
• 15:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know he kicks he punches hard throws elbows knees He can hurt you many ways and silver got a little aggressive got caught off balance and he got hurt and got finished in the second round
• 15:53
  [SPEAKER_04]: That was the fight for boys to ask him out there.
• 15:56
