  Speaker 1: Direct TV stream All right, We're gonna obviously, you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: definitely uh recap from you know, from some items over
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the weekend. Derek Chesoora did his thing as a slight underdog.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I definitely hit on that one. That was nice. What
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: was it a plus? Was it a plus one sixty
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: eight or one eighty eight or one? I think was
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the highest one. I don't think I bet that one,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I don't think I could in this state
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: but anyway, that was a nice little hit. Now chasas
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: talking about what's next, so we'll talk a little bit
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: about that fight. There was an upset on that card.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I guess you could say two of them, so we'll
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: talk a little bit about that. I'll mention the pro
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: box fights as well. On Friday and Saturday, we got
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: some interesting fights coming up. Branchick Davis that's on esp
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and ESPN Plus along with the undercard that'll be Friday
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Saturday is Catterall or Boza Junior plus more. You know,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: items from the weekend end that card, h it's interesting,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you know Davis and Brentshick. You know Brinschick is you know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: considering he's got a belt, he is a pretty big underdog.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: So I mean, if you do like Brenschick, I would
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: definitely put some money on him because he's a pretty
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: big dog, like I said, Whereas the Caterall Barbosa is
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a much closer fight on on paper. So we'll definitely
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: preview and predict what's going on this weekend. In this
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: great February that we have in boxing, we do have
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: some Canello news to get to a four fight deal.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Turkey was putting out fake news and then it wasn't fake.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: And speaking of fake getting faked out, Jake Paul and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Netflix got faked out from Canelo and Williams. Skull is
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: his opponent. So I'll give you my thoughts on that
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: whole debacle right off the bat, just real quick. It's
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: pretty shaky. It's real, shisty, real. Let's let's just say
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: it messed up, dude, Like, I'll get into the Canela
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: stuff you know later, but Turkey buys the Ring magazine
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and then puts out fake news like and it's just
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: it's just hush among upmost of a lot of writers.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: It's like, dude, seriously, could you imagine if well, we
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: won't get into it, we won't get into it. Now
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: there's pushback for his opponent. There was pushback for you know,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: fighting Jake Paul. A lot of people thought that was
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: gonna hurt boxing. I don't know, man, Well, well, i'll
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: give you my my thoughts on it. No doubt about it.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I did see. You know. It's a four fight deal.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: One over there this year in May, one here in
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: September against Crawford, but the other two fights will be
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: insiding next year. I wish it was one and one,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and I guess, I guess there's potential for that. Still,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: we can't we can't completely rule that out, but I
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: would prefer one in one. That's a pretty basic thing.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: But anyway, there was a news item that came up
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about as well. ESPN partying ways are top
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: rank according to a source, so we'll talk about that,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: not my source. We've been talking about that deal for
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: about a year, year and a half something like that.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: And will they keep it? You know, I don't think
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: it's fake news per se, even though we've had some
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: fake news and we get a lot of bullshit stuff
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: in boxing sometimes, right, But I think they'd come out
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: and say no, we're still in negotiations if it was,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: if it was correct, But maybe I'm wrong. You never know, right,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: So there's others, you know, there's other news out there.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: The PBC just announce a card. Carlos Ottomas is now
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: good to go, but it seemed like it was a
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: shaky situation for him trying to go over to Sadi
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: for his fight. So yeah, we'll talk about that, and
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: of course we'll we'll have a little boxing Twitter stuff too,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of boxing Twitter, you know,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: good tweets, not just all fan boys, but a whole
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: lot of interesting fanboy stuff too. So let's let's start man,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: let's start with uh, let's start with the weekend, right
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: especially chesa Jaileen me chasa ship. I thought he was
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: gonna gas. I know, after the fight he was like,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and don't get me wrong, he got tired, but just
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: after that first round, because he was saying, man, I
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: thought he I'd wear him down and get him really gassed.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: And it was like, dude, after that first round, it
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, dude, you just you can't
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: have every realm like that. Dude, you're gonna you're gonna
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: gash yourself out because he came out and you know,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I'll say this the body punching, because it was just
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: a bunch of body worked throughout the fight, but especially
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: in that first round. The first handful of shots or
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: even flurries didn't look like they had a lot on
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: him per se, But then each and everyone after that
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: it felt you could feel it. You could almost feel
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: it through the screen. Just a ton of bodyworks. Second round,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you know, Jaileen, a few lefts landed. Otherwise, you know,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: it was all Sora, more body work and then these
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: wild left hooks to the head. I think like two
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: of them in that second realm. Then in the third round,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: of course to the body, but then with both hands
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: left and right to the head, these looping shots. I
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: thought the fourth round, Waleen, that was a better round
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: for him. Whether you gave it to him or not,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I could see give him that round. It was a
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: better round, no doubt. I did think Jesora is wild
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: swinging to the head and body. I think that was
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the round he got cut into. That cut looked pretty bad,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: but you know, it turned out to be okay. They
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: stopped the fight once and luckily, you know, they let
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: him go. But I gave him the fifth. I thought
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Walleen fought well as jab in the sixth and in
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: some left hands, so you know, could I could. I
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: think he could give him that round. Seventh round Chesaura
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: with a nice flurry to close the round kind of
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: negated anything you know, Walling did to my you know,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to my recollection. Eighth round, Waleen on the ropes for
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: long periods of time right taking heavy punches. Don't get
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: me wrong, he had some success in there somewhere, but
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: it wasn't a whole lot. And then the ninth round
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: like a right hand kind of like an overall like
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: a like a like a overhand whipping right hand shot
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: stumbles Waldeen like a cartoon. So it was a ten
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: eight round. I will say I gotta give credit to
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Walleen considering how it just knocked him off balance and
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: he just went across the whole ring and then fell,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: like I said, very cartoon like. He did close actually
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: fairly decently, so I'll give him credit there. I gave
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: him the tenth round Waleen, because until late in the
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: tenth he looked pretty tired. Sasora, you go figure, I mean,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the guy's throwing a bunch of punches, but I did
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: see that, but it didn't take long. Chesaora won the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: last two rounds, more looping shots in the eleventh, and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: then a late combination that ended with a right hand
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: knocked him down, so he had two ten eight rounds.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Chessaura has just got that less bob and weed but
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: kind of duck down style like Frasier. Uh. He can
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: jab a little bit off of that. Sometimes he's wide open,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: but he does. It's kind of a kind of like
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the George Foreman when he got older, where he he
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: just finds a way to kind of take something off
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the shot at times, or just take the shot clean
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: and then just go to town on the body. And
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: then you know, eventually he was lanning big, big shots
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: up Todd. So whether he had it nine to three,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: eight to four, something like that, one seventeen one nine one,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: sixteen one ten and then just a ridiculous, ridiculous scorecard.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: We always have to have these, don't we, one fourteen, one, twelve.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: So basically it's a six to sixth fight on this
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: dude's scorecard sixty six, and it's just those two knockdowns,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: like it's just I mean, it's it's like, dude, are
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you kidding me? Like, how could you come up with that?
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: It's just it's just horrendous. Dude, I can't yeah, I
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: can't do it. So the last dance, you know, some
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: people thought this was the last fight, period, right, the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: last dance otherwise, you know some people I kind of
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: thought this that you know, it's it's gonna be his
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: last dance, like until he loses again. You know, he
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: does want to get to that fifty mark, and he's
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: one fight away so right. You know a lot of
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: people were like, all right, man, he you know, he
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: he did it. Man, Now he can right off into
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the sunset. And it's like, no, no, he's got these pictures.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: He's got these guys in the ring, and he's got
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: these pictures of du Bois a J and Usk. Which
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: one should I do? He's asking the crowd. I think
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the I want to say Usk got the biggest cheers,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: but uh, you know, funny enough, he did. Actually this
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: was a while ago, very early on, you know, for
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: for Usik, and I mean early on, like at heavyweight.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: He actually fought Usik pretty like close, like very competitively. Actually,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: so now I'm not that's when he was kind of
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: adjusting the first two fights. You know for Usak at heavyweight,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: he didn't looked that good. The weight didn't look good.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: He didn't look good at all, and I started to
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: doubt him, and you know, I was obviously wrong. But
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, man, I mean's just Sorah, He's just he's
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: just one of those guys. You know, he's just one
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: of those guys. Lord of the flies on ah on
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: boxing Twitter. You know, he had a great he's basically
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: like the heavyweight version Orlando Solido like tough as nails,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: just and I thought that was a great I'm gonna
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna read the full tweet later in the in
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the boxing Twitter segment, but I thought it was a
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: great analogy because you know, I think that a casual
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: that had put money on somebody that Jora father or
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: whatever or or heading into it would be like, dude,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: he's got thirteen losses, dude, you know, like he's been
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: knocked out a bunch and you know that type of stuff.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: And I just I don't know, like the guys fought
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: so many freaking fighters, dude, Fury a bunch of times. Whosika,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: But like, I don't know, he just he's just fought Parker, Dude.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: He's fought so vitally. Dude, He's fought so many guys
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and I just respect him. I really respect him, Like,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to see him good hurt.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing. The higher level he steps up,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: that potential's there, obviously, but this is boxing, right, and
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: everybody is uh an adult, so you know, they have
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: their own choices and all that. But this was a
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: really good victory for him, very so you know, solid outing.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: He just gives it his all, you know, right when
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: you think he's you know, hurt or stumbling or gassed
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: or whatever. And I'm not talking about just in this fight.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying as a fighter, it's like the guy
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: just digs deep, you know. And I think guys like
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: this should be your boxers like this should be respected,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: like well respected. And he's been around for so long.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, he glost me and like it's just he's
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: been around for so long. Dude, So shouts out to
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Derek Jasa. Who should he fight next? I mean, I
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: don't know. I mean I could see a j you know.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I guess I don't know. I mean, any of those
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: are big fights, obviously, I don't you know, maybe the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: you know, if if Dubois lost the Parker, I don't know.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I just think that I think Dubois is like on
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: a course to uh to face Usik again. And that's
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: where aj comes in. And I don't think Usik but
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: he's just gonna stay busy, you know, no offense. She's
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: sure he's gonna need a little time, you know. So
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I don't know, you know
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: what I mean, I think I remember Turkey saying that
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be I think he's gonna be at that
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: card that you know, not this week but next weekend.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: So and they said they're gonna talk, so we'll see,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: we will see. But yeah, I think it's Usk and
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: du bois next. So I mean AJ is there. You know,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's some kind of great fight, but
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Aj is no longer in his prime either, So I
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: wouldn't call it a horrendous fight or anything like that.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And it would fit the bill of a payday, that's
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: for damn sure. Zach Parker was a bloody mess, but
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: but he handled business. Katilla, I think it did beat
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: heene Nathan Heeney. That was a competitive going into it.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: That was competitive and he basically like there was a cut.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I think it happened. Was it in that? I don't
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: remember what round it was. I didn't I scored it,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: but I didn't make a bunch of notes. I don't
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: remember what round it was. But heene down, you know,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: seventh round. You know, I thought it was a really
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: close fight, to be honest with you, but you know,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: I just think that, like Nathan Heeney started out, let
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: me look the first probably three or four rounds. Yeah,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: well the fourth round that was close, but the for
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: sure the first three. But yeah, the fourth round I
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: have a question mark. But then after that, you know,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: for me it was I don't know, I mean, at
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: least I would say the fourth and fifth, you know,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It was close. I think that the
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: fourth was close, but you could go like you could
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: go like three to three on your scorecard, you know,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: going into that that seventh round. But you know, I
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: did think it was close though I had I'm a scorecard.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I had it really close. But that was a nice
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: upset there, t Ko stoppage, so that that was that
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: was nice. Raffer Ye actually scored a knockout as well
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: over Mac macmillian. No macmillion basically, you know, the corner
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: stopped the fight. And then that Masud Abdullah and Zach Miller.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: That was a competitive fight, very competitive, and I would
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: have been fine with the draw. I think it was
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: what was it? It was a majority decision. Let me
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: look at the cards again. I didn't break down the
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: scorecard for some reason. I had it about a draw.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I was okay with Zach Miller winning though. Yeah, so
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: one had it of course a draw because you have
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: majority decision one. So that was you know, that was
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: an upset, but there was a lot of like, it
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: was sloppy d it was it was rough, let's put
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: it that way. You know, head butts cuts from head butts.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: You know, Miller was cut on his eye, so was
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Abdullah and I think I think, yeah, Miller had one
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: like like a like well above his high too. It
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: was it was kind of I wouldn't mind seeing a
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: rematch on that one actually, But overall it was pretty good.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was all right, it was a it
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: was a pretty good card. It's it's too bad that,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: you know, Zach Parker going, you know, fight Hutchinson. I
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: think that would have helped. I think that would help
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: the card for sure, But you know, it is what
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: it is. What else did we got, Oh, we had
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: that pro box. I mean we had a variety of stuff,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: but we did have that pro box card justin uh Paul.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Paul though, scored a knockout and rock him off. You know,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: he he was he was hurt, man, he was hurt,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and I think he was to the hospital or he
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: did go to the hospital. And it was a bad
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: knockdown or knockout, I should say, and I get I
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: guess he's okay, you know, I remember seeing reports of it,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: so you know, shots out to him, hopefully he's doing okay.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: But Paul though that was a great performance. I mean,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at my scorecard. I couldn't really give too
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: many rounds to rock him off. I really, I really couldn't.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I like this fight going in, and it was a
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: little more one sided than I thought, that's for sure.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: The Maine eventa Costa and Carneniez that was a competitive
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: fight too. I mean, you had you know, Roman started
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: out hot. I gave him. Let me see, I gave
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: him for the first five rounds, you know, and let's see,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I gave him. I think I gave him the sixty up.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: And then it started turning on him, you know, and
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: he did get knocked down. It was the seventh round,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: and and after that the next few rounds. You know,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: that was a coasta. So now I did think like
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: he I remember, I think it was Jake Donovan said
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: he had a gut that went out, and he definitely did.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: He definitely did. Because that last round, I thought, that's
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: that's where you know that made a big difference ninety five,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: ninety four, ninety seven, ninety ninety five, ninety four, So
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I mean gutting out that last round. That was big.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: That was really really big. So I liked that card
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: once again pro box doing their thing. Shots out the
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: pro Box, whether it's a really cheap app or YouTube
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: like the Bang for Your Buck, you really can't beat it,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: right because it's so free or cheap, you know. Angeletti
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: won as well. That's about That's about it from that car.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: But yeah, man, Cardinia's definitely grinded that one out. And
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: shouts out to to Baldo too, because I didn't see that.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I thought that was gonna be a competitive fight. I
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: really did. Going in, I wouldn't have thought it was
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: gonna be like that at all, you know, So shouts
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: out to him. Very good performance, and like I said,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that his opponent, you know, was okay. So yeah,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I'm reading it from boxing scene right now. He had
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: been released from San Antonio, Texas, from a hospital there.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: He was removed from the ring on a stretcher. Was
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: it the seventh or eighth round? It was the eight, okay,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: so you know, hopefully he's doing well and he recovers
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and everything's good, you know, because that that was pretty intense.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: That that shocked me. Not that I didn't think anyone
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: could get knocked out in the fight, but it was
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: just it was a beating, like a one sided like
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I said, I did not, I didn't. I don't think
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: maybe one round. I mean that it was pretty one sided.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: So shouts out to Paul though. That was a very
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: good performance. And like I said, probox man. They're doing
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: their thing. It's like right somewhere in the ESPN Friday
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Night Fights showbox vibe, and it's something that you know
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: in America when we had all those cards going on
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: for many many years, the mid level fight was thriving,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: and somewhat recently it hasn't been as much as it
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: had know it had, And I'm talking about like sometimes
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: they are very quality like that. That main event was
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: a good fight. I mean the way you know you
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: can say, I mean he got it out right the
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: the tenth round. Uh, but like that was a like
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: a coaster brought it to the last like thirty seconds
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: or whatever. These dudes are getting it in. So that
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: was a good card. And like I said, they've been
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: doing their thing, so shouts out to them that they're
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: definitely needed. So yeah, that was that was a good card.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: That's probably where I'm gonna kind of slow my role
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: when it comes to it. I think that'll that'll do
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: it for recap as far as this week and two
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: fights that I'm gonna break down with a little detailed
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Brentschick and Davis when in Cadall and Barbosa. You know,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I just let's let's start with the Let's start with
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: the Friday night the Balantine's Day, right, that's gonna be
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: at the theater, the Madison Square Garden Theater. And you
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: have Sandrasias against uh Spoemer. You have Jared Anderson, you
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: have Polanco, you have Abdula Mason, you have Veto, you
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: have some guy named Nico only Wash never heard of him.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Oh no, it's kidding Kean Davis. So they you know,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: there's some interesting stuff here. It's it's I don't know,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't say interesting like in two way fight stuff,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: but it's there's a lot of prospects on the car.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Let's put it that way. Guys that are trying to
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: get into that contender range or excuse me, like Jared
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Anderson getting back to the contendent rage, I guess you
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: could say so, like, yeah, I mean I would probably
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: say that that Sias fight might be the closest including
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: the main event. Let me check really quick, or at
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: least one of the closest. Yeah, I mean technically Torres
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Blanco's opponents like plus forty plus four ninety and Nicos
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: is plus four fifty, so it's right in there that Yeah,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Nicos is three to sixty. So that's the closest one.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: That is the closest one. But as far as the uh,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: the main event goes. Oops, you know, Davis how my
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: phone keeps drop But I don't know if you guys
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: can hear that. My apologies if you can. This is
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: a good fight for him. I like this fight obviously.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: It puts him in the well. You know, you get
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: a belt that that always helps. And you know Branchick
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: isn't a big puncher, but he is coming off some
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: good wins, especially Noavarette. It was a close fight. It's
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: a close fight. He was able to kind of just
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: maneuver with this footwork and land some decent punches throughout
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: and just kind of stay busy, like busy enough. I
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: just thought the way he circled, I just kind of
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: kind of bugged Novarette. It seemed like he had a
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: good style for Navarette obviously, so that's a big win.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: You know. Before that, he went twelve rounds with Gidget
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: and also Mendy, which is a little like I mean,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: he's fought four twelve rounders, right, so he's got a
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: lot of experience. Obviously says some amateur pedigree as well.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Both fighters obviously do. But yeah, I mean he's got
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: a good jab. He faints a lot. His footwork is
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: pretty good, like I said, with the circling and all that, right,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: And but sometimes especially when he's doing his jab, I
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: noticed like he can definitely get off balance, you know,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: and he kinda he'll hit like the tip of his
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: toe sometimes after he jabs or when he steps or
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: before he's about to step. It's kind of a toe.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: I noticed that going back and looking at a couple
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: of fights. But BRANCHI will need to start fast. That's
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: like a key start fast because generally speaking, Davis will
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: start a little slow. You know. He likes to measure
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: at a measure pace and all that. I do think
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: that Brinchet can definitely like get in some trouble, not
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: just with his footwork, but when he reaches kind of
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: put himself out of position. He can go both ways pause,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: but there's like a risk will roar, there's a risk
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: reward in there where sometimes it looks real smooth and
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: it's all in one motion in a sense. Right, he
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: transitions very smoothly sometimes when he's coming forward, but he
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: also can leave himself wide open, and I think he's
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: there to be countered. And you know Keishaan, like I said,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: he fights at a measure pace for a while. He's
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: got pretty good defense, pretty good footwork. He can count
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: no doubt about it. He's like a really heads the fighter.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: But he does. Like That's why I'm saying Branchick better
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: start and win the first few rounds. That's like his
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: best way to get off to a lead, because you
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: gotta take advantage of him measuring you and just win
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: the rounds. Right. Sometimes you do see Davis kinda hold
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: back straight sometimes rather than pivot or move lattering. Something
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: to keep an eye on, because I do think I
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: think this fight comes down to two things. The high
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: guard will the high guard hold up for Branchick, which
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: I don't think it will as far as being able
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: to defend yourself. I'm not saying Davis is gonna take
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: him out easier or anything like that. And then both
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: of them use angles a lot of times. It's like
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: punching angles. They'll they'll get out of the way, you know,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: punch and have an exit root or their punch and
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: pivot or just use an angle and then you're on
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: the other side of them, and then you can land
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: a good punch. And that's something you did with Novarette.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: You both of them could do it. I just think,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: I really think that Padraza was a pretty damn good
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: comp or Keishon Davis, whereas I don't. I don't think
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: there's like as similar comp if that makes sense. And
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: the things he was able to do to novel Raatee,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: he's not gonna be able to do that to Keishan. Keishaan.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Does you know he's building momentum, he's starting to really
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: get into his groove and he's starting to show power.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: He's starting to just you know, really you know, turn
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: into his punches, like really land some solid punches. So
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't know about like you know, the stoppage.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm still kind of in between because
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: recently in the last few years he did fight Yigit
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: as well. You know, I don't know. It seems like
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: he's gone the distance of phara amount. You know, with
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Gustavo he got him out real quick, but then just
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: a okay fighter Midueno I think it is that went
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: ten rounds? Was it twelve? No? I think it was ten, yeah,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: because he's never been.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Twelve, and you know he had some other ones where
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: you're like, okay, that was I don't know. I just
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I'm still I don't I think that Baranchick can take
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: care of himself enough, if that makes sense to you,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: where he's got enough skill, enough, heads up enough, even
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: though the high guard may, you know, may get him
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: in trouble.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: I just think he can hold. He could. You know,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: he's got enough tools to last. So I'm gonna say
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: he's gonna make it, but I'm gonna go unanimous decision
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: in favor of Keishn Davis. That That's what I'm thinking
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: there now. In the other card, the other card, not
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: the underguard. On Saturday, Matchroom Caterall Barbosa, this one's in.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: I think it's Manchester, right, This one is really interesting
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: and it's definitely as far as the bigger fights go
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: and the main events at all, it's tight. I mean,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: I haven't looked the last couple of days. There's still
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: is a plus one ninety, but most of them are
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: over two hundred. As far as Barbosa being in, you know,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: an underdog, so you know, Barbosa does have tools to
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: fight smart on the outside. Right. He is a good fighter.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: You know, he definitely had a great performance in the
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: last fight against Ramirez. I really liked what I saw there.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Petraza a few fights ago as well, Dan Alito, he
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: had a good, pretty good performance in that one. So
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: he's kind of coming of age right now. So Barboza
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: is a good fighter. He doesn't have a lot of power,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: but he is very skilled, right, so he's facing some
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: good fighters. Whereas Jack Caterall. You know, it's like he
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: had that big win against Davies a while back, right,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: and then it was kind of whole home and he
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: had that Tailor fight, and you know that was a
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: split decision. A lot of people thought was it a
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: majority or split? I think it was split, you know,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't say a lot. Plenty of people thought that
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: categor old Wanner. It was damn close, and you know,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: I may have had Taylor winning just barely. Either way,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: it was close. And my point is it deserved even
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: though the fight wasn't that great, it definitely deserved a rematch.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: And it took a while, right, it took like a
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: while two years or whatever, a little over three years,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: I think, but he got it last year and he
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: did his thing. He did his thing, and Caterall I
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: think is a little bit underrated. Like I think that
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: like the what he can do on the inside, Like
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Taylor was really good on the inside, and I just
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: like I just I mean, don't get me wrong, Taylor
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: was faded. You could say Regius Progra was faded too,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: but you'd also say for Barboza that Ramirez was faded too.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: So we could do that all day. But he took
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: care of business though, And I think there's a difference there,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: you know, now, don't get me wrong. I mean, he
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: did get dropped. It was somewhat early, what the fourth
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: or fifth round or something by pro Grade, but you know,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: he came back and scored. You know, I think it
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: was two later in the fight, in the same round,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: if I remember correctly. So I don't want to get
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: too hung up on Taylor and pro Gray being way
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: past their I don't know how way past their prime there,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: but I wouldn't say they're They're definitely not in their right.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: We know that, we do know that. But like I said,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: like you know, Peedraza wasn't right, Ramiro's damn sure wasn't.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: And honestly, that McComb fight, you know that was a
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: competitive fight too. I kind of forgot about that one
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: of those two fights ago. So Mike, I'm going Catterall,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be, you know, across the pond, right. That
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: helps you in a close fight. But it's not just that.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: I think that he's fought better fighters, and he's got
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: more pass to win the fight, more past the victory.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Can he jab with you. He's got a sturdy jab,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: he's got the fundamentals and all that, but he can
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: bring it to you in a way where he doesn't,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: you know, overdo it, like he doesn't expose himself that much.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: He's a pretty good fighter, Catterall. And I think that
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: if Barbosa could show like a fair amount of pop
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: in this fight. That might that would be the difference.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: That could be a difference right there, because then maybe
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: a pot shot, you know, like you have jad potshot
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: or counter or whatever, maybe he could stop Catall in
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: his tracks. I'm not saying Cateralll is just gonna go nuts,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: adm or whatever, but I just, like I said, I
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: just think he has more past the victory. I think
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: he has a chance to win it. Where they're just
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: right in the middle of the round. I still think
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: I still like him in that it's closer, though, but
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: I think that Catall will just do more effective work
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: and solid. You know, it might be one of those
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: majority decisions. You know, it might be one of those
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: where the copy box numbers are really close and Barboza
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: may outland them a little bit, but the harder shots
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: will be Catall in my opinion, So I do have Catall.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: I'll say, I'll say majority decision. That's all I'll go with.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: I'll go majority decision, and you know we do. There's
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: another fight, uh Gomez Gomez, Uh that Reese but below
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: belowdi but is it Beloti? That's a Let me let
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: me look at the odds on that. I haven't checked
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: that in like a week that that's a good close fight. Yeah,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Gomez is just the highest one I see is plus
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: one fifty on. But the way I'm on and I'm
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: on pro boxing odds. By the way, I forgot to
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: mention that it's a great sight. It just you know,
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: organizes everything for you. That's like a pick and fight.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: That's the closest fight of the weekend. Really on paper,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: that is the closest fight. So I don't know who's
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: gonna win that, but I think that that might be
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: a good one. I think that might who knows, that
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: might steal the show as far as just being competitive,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I don't know who's gonna
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: win that fight. Really, Like if you look at I
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: don't know, Like I just don't know if I I
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: don't think Gomez has enough power man, and I just
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: I just don't He's a he like this could be
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: a coming out form here, right, And Michael Gomanz Junior
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: could win this fight, right, he definitely could, But I
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: don't know. It's like he like what's sews Reese had
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: a weird stretch there, I mean obviously got forward, So
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, what are you gonna do. Right, there's not
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: much there but Jordan Gill. I remember watching that fight.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a pretty competitive fight. So I
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: had a split decision a lot yet two split decisions.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: I just one against Ryan Walsh. I forgot about that one.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: So he's just a little bit more tested, right, and
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: that's why it's so close. So will the unbeaten? Uh
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: oh no, he's not unbeaten. I'm saying it's kind of
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: unbeaten because it was a long time ago. I literally
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: think it was I should check. It was like twenty
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: eighteen or something like that. It is, it's twenty nineteen March.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: You know, he lost the sixth rounder, you know what
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, So he hasn't lost a while. But then again,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: like he beat like an undefeated thirteen to O Levi.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: But you know, he you know, I don't know. I
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: don't know, man, It's just there's there's not much there,
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And that actually I forgot that. Okay,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: that's hilarious. So he has a split decision against him too,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean that that's a good that's a
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: good fight. I don't know. Something I don't know, man,
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Maybe I kind of want to pick the prospect, but
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: it's Tuesday, so give me a break. I kind of
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: want to piss pick the Michael Gomez Junior, the slight underdog,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: but I don't know. Man also self a Barrett and
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: James Dickens is on the card. McCormick. Krolla, but it's
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: William Krola, it's not Anthony Krola. So you know, let's
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: let's see how that card plays out. I think that
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: could be very interesting. But I do I do like
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: majority decision in favor of it, oops caterall. So I
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: think that about does it for the prediction stuff. News wise,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: like I said, we we I'm not like, I'm not
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: a huge fan of Turkey, like given nonsense news to
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: his own website. And you know, Coppinger and him had
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: this long conversation that's like twenty minutes, thirty minutes something
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: like that, and uh, it wasn't much hard hitting stuff obviously, right,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: I mean for obvious reasons, right, But we got a
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: little clarification in some stuff. But like he said it
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: multiple times, now you know why I gave you, Like
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: I admit I gave you false stuff to everybody, but
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: I but now you know why and it's like, I
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: don't think that's good enough. I think that's nonsense, to
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: be honest with you, I don't think that's I don't know,
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: like Oscar had already owned the ring, right, they bought
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: it a long time ago. And you know, some of
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: the pound for pound rankings, and every once in a
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: while maybe a lineal you know, you're like, I don't
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: know about that. I always talk about that. Whrrhead lenar
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Is humped. He crawler one one in three, But it
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: wasn't like way over the top. Now obviously, like Doug
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Fisher and all that, like him having a high ranking
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: position and how unprofessional he is not. You know, it's
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: one thing to do your job as a media member,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: it's all, but you also have to be professional. And
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: he's skewed towards you know, he's very biased, let's put
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: it that way. And I'm not talking about the run
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: of the mill biased where everyone has biasedness and all that.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: But he's been over the top and he's said some
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: really ignorant shit. And we're all ignorant to an extent, sure,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: but you know him and Steve Kim, and Steve Kim's
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: not tied to the Ringer. Well, I don't actually, I
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: don't know. Now maybe he's going to be I don't know.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: But so to me, it's it's been somewhat unprofessional at times,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: very unprofessional. But now you have the new owner. You know,
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: now the new owner gave you false information. It's just weird.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: It's weird. I have a problem with that anyway. So
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: the report, you know, we kept hearing old Canelos gonna
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: fight Crawford. Don't the fights off? Nope, And you know,
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: so that that was him given like some of this
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: stuff that it was on and it was off, and
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: then it was on, it was off and agreed upon
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: and all that. I've just learned not to get my
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: hopes up or hopes down and depending on the fight
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: until it's official. And the last few years, have you
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: ever since like COVID, because for a while there there
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: wasn't many fights, you know, in that time, and a
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: lot of people were just hitting up Twitter and YouTube
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: just talking shit. So you get all these feds pumped
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: up and then you don't deliver. And so that's been
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: an issue, right, And that's why I haven't even more
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: of an issue when the owner of a major at
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: least in boxing, a long standing publication like the Ring,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: and so I don't think he gave a good enough
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: reason there, but we can all of a sudden we
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: were hearing a fight was off right, and it's like, well,
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: it wasn't on all the way, so you can't say
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: it got canceled or you know, because it wasn't announced.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: But I really do wish you you know, I will
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: say this, when when agreed to terms happened, generally speaking,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: those fights would get done. And now that's a little
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: wishy washy. It appears anyway, it's kind of getting worse
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: at times, and I'm not a big fan of that, right,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: But you know, all of a sudden, we started hearing
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: news about and we even talked about it. I talked
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: about it with John last week about you know, Jake
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Paul in Netflix, and you start to hear like Canelo
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: and Jake Paul. Okay, whatever I mean, if Crawford's next,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: because at that time I still thought and it's going
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: to be now unless obviously Canello stumbles against Skull. But
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: I there's you could push back on both fights. Obviously.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: William Skull is a professional boxer who has an extended
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: amateur career, and he's fought better competition than Jake Paul, right,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: because yeah, technically he is a professional fighter, Jake Paul.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: And I would never take it away from him, Like
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: I've always given him credit for certain things, and one
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: of them is just you know, training and actually dedicating
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: a large portion in your life to it. Right. I
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: do think that's pretty cool. Now. Do I have a
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: lot of other issues with him, Yeah, but that's out
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: of the ring whatever. But so I thought, okay, well
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: you cash out Jake Paul, right, And he always said
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: he was going to get the fight, and so I
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: was like, all right, cash him out and then go
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: fight Crawford. Right. And it's kind of interesting because a
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: lot of the media and like regular slash hardcore boxing
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Twitter fans, right, I always talk about growing the sport,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: and they're always talking about exposure, and they're always talking
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: about this and that, right, And they talk about the
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: same thing, John and I talk about the same thing.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: But it's like they pick and choose when that's good
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: and when that's bad. And the amount of exposure that
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: that fight between Canelo and Jake Paul. And like I said,
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying I love the matchup. Okay, I gave
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Jake Paul and Mike Tyson the freaking event of the
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: year because it drew the most attention. It was the
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: event of the year. It had a huge gait. I
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: didn't like it. I hated it. The main event the
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: other Cary was popping. But you know, I if you've
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: listened to the show ever, you anytime you've heard me
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: talk about that fight. I didn't like it just because
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: he's old as fuck, you know. But beyond that, it's like,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: it still drew a lot of eyeballs, you know, and
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: it is what it is. And and I saw a
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: lot of medium members and plugged in fans or whatever,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: hardcore Twitter fans, boxing fans that like were like, no, dude,
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: that'll make you know. It makes the sport a joke.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Oh and all that. Well, if he cashes out Jake
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Paul in front of tens of millions of people, I
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: don't know how. I don't know how many people it
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: would have been, but if dam sure would have been
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: more on pay per view or than pay per view,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: that's for sure. And it incentifies people just to because
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of people have Netflix and once again all
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: over the world and we always talk about, oh the
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: I hear a lot of the it's growing in among
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: the world boxing. Now, that's what we got to focus on,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: growing it worldwide. Well, Netflix isn't just here, you know,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: So I'm not selling that fight, like, oh my god,
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: I can't dude, that's a fifty to fifty you know,
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that shit. But why not? I wouldn't
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: have been against it, is my point, because I got news.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: The vast majority of boxing fans are casuals, semi casuals, casuals,
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: people that literally have one or two guys or whatever
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: Serrano or whatever tailor boxers that they like. And then
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: maybe there's layers underneath that, right, but not many, just
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: casual fans, people that have been watching the sport for
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: a long time, maybe people that start watching with Floyd Packett. Whatever.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: My point is, they already think the sport is crooked,
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: as you know what. So this whole thing of that's
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: gonna make that gives boxing a black eye or that's
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: that root that hurts the sports credibility. I got news
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: for you. The sport doesn't have fucking credibility amongst the
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: casual fans. It doesn't time and time again, I don't
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: like that it's that way. But I'm just the realist,
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: and the realistic I've talked to over my life. I've
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: talked to so many casual fans, friends, people I'm meet
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: that night, whatever. Like I I you know, once somebody
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: finds out I do a boxing podcast, you know they're
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: gonna tell me something. And a lot of times it's
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: be like, man, that's just so crooked they are. My
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: point is, and for good reason. By the way, boxing
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: deserves that that stamp, But it already some people already
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: look at it like it is so corrupt that it
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: is almost a joke. And to be honest with you,
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: if if you're honest, I love the sport myself too.
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: I love it pretty much. I always will. I can't
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: say always forever. Who knows what it could be in
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: twenty years, right, But like I've loved it my whole life.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: I always say college football and boxing those were my
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: two favorite sports since I was a little kid, and
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: that shit is politics heavy in both of them, you know.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: So the point is they already fucking think it's a joke,
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: So why not cash if you want that Crawford fight.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: By the way, I like Turkey making the having the
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: Crawford fight in Vegas here where it should be like,
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: you're gonna draw so much attention to that other fight,
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: and yeah, they're not gonna run ads for it on Netflix,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: but you know, who knows, maybe Netflix gets involved. Remember
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: that's my problem I'm having. So and it all goes
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: back to like, if it's a PBC fighter, then the
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: PBC fighters should be able to go to this platform,
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: that platform, this plat it doesn't matter, it's good for
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: the sport, Okay, cool? So why in the hell Canello
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: number one guy when it comes to name going to
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Netflix is gonna hurt the sport? You're out of your mind?
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: Go cash them out and then fight Crawford. In wonder
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: if he fought Crawford on Netflix, would that be bad
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: for the sport then? Or just because it's not Turkey right,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: because a lot of people would say that about the PBC. Oh,
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: it has to be on a PPC platform. Why can't
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: it be over here? Why are you linear? Why isn't
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: that on ESPN? You know? Okay? Cool? Okay, fine, so
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: why wouldn't that be okay? You know? So? Now, so
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: the same people that were saying oh, al, you know
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: that's bullshit. I was doing bullshit. Well, this is a
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: bullshit fight too. Now, am I saying William Skull and
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: Jake Paul are the same fighter? No, William Skull amateur career,
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: got more pro fights, have foughten and beaten pro fighters, right,
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: so I don't have You know, he had a very
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: competitive fight with Shishkin. You know he's a more advanced
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: fighter than Jake Paul, no doubt about it. But coming
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: off er Langa, I understood Berlanga because it was gonna sell. Now,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't buy the pay per view. I watched it,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: but I didn't buy it, and I didn't steal it either. Okay,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: I watched it with some friends late night Canelo fans. Now,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: if I will say this about Skull, if you're going
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: to put him against William Skull, right, well that's if
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: you're gonna if you're gonna, well here's my point. If
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: you're gonna put him in Saudi, this name is probably
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: the Okay, fine, you know that's really not because that
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have drawn much on pay per view here, you
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: know that wouldn't have drawn much attention. Yeah, they do
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: a healthy gate because it's Cadello, but it really wouldn't
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: have you know, it's kind of a waste really, So
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: it's like, all right, cool, you know, that's fine, you
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: know whatever, and then fight Crawford here. Like I said,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: the four fight deal, I am trouble when I hear
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: that three out of the four fights will be in Sadi.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: I wish it was one and one and one and one.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: I'll say that, but and won't see. But my whole
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: point is gettings. You know, Canelo is a big deal,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: no matter who. We all know that. We all know
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: that's a big deal. Right. Obviously Golden Boy had him
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: for a long time. They screwed him, you know, obviously
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: if you're just being honest, you know, and he got
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: out of his contract, fouled lawsuit, he was you know,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: they let him go sign a Matchroom. It was a
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: big get for Matchroom. Then it was a big get
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: for PBC and back and forth and all that. Right,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: So I get it. But when I hear like Turkey's
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: gonna save boxing and him through boxing so much in
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: some ways he has the card coming up in two
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: weeks is phenomenal. Right, He's made many of great fights
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: or at least just good matchups. You know, they're just
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: like the heavyweight division what he was doing there, and
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: obviously you know better BF and the fall and you know,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: like I said, that car coming up in the twenty seconds,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: the ship, there's no way around it. But this to
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: me is run of the mill boxing here. It just is.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: And I didn't like the Berlanga fight and he was
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: under PBC at that time. Did I understand why they
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: did it? Yes? I did, and it made a lot
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: of you know, it did a big ass pay per
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: view number and a big gate, so I got why
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: he was the B side. But to go from Berlanga
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: to Skull, yeah, you know, it is what it is.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: You know, that's not that great and people are now
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: selling it. And he even said, you know Turkey and
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: that Coppinger interview saying, oh it, you know, Canelo, it
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: has to be a big fight, it has to be
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: a big fight, and it's like, well, this isn't a
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: big fight, dude, this is a run of the mill.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: He's not the best contender at once sixty eight. If
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: you want to call him a two time undisputed, go
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: ahead and call him that. But that's ridiculous because all
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: he did was drop the belt. That's all he did.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: And before you give the IBF too much credit, because
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: we all know they were the last one to get
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: their door kicked in right by by the Federals, and
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: so yeah, they do enforce their mandos a lot more
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: than other people, like on average, But if they were
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: really legit, before you give them too much credit, Benevetez
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: would be ranked in the IBF if they were legit. Now,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: I am understand that outside of your if you got
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: if you have the WBC something, then you're not going
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: to be ranked right. Once you get a belt, you're
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: not ranked in the other sanctioning belts unless you have
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: the belt. Right, maybe you have two or three of
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: them or four or whatever. But my point is, if
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: the IBF was so legit, don't bend over backwards and
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: stress your back out, you know, saying how good they
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: are because they enforce something. Okay, cool, I give them
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: credit for that. But if they were really legit, they'd
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: have Benefitas in there, they'd have Beneftez and they would
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: enforce that belt. I like Shishkin, good solid fighter. It
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: was a close It was a close fight, by the way,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: very competitive fight. I have nothing. You know, maybe William
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: Skull freaking like eight to four would be like WHOA.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: Against Canelo, It'd be like wow. And I think people
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: would be like, I think you beat him, you know,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: because every time the underdog gets more rounds than you think,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: people give him more rounds after that. So I have
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: nothing to say overly bad or anything about Skull. He's
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: not the number one contender. I think once you fought Berlanga,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: who It's just that. My My problem is with Canelo.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: He's a first ballot Hall of Famer. He's got a
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: great resume, there's no denying that. But the more you fight,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: the more we're gonna expect it. Like we now know
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: he's fighting at least four more fights, right and now
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: Turkey did say he wants to befall fight, right, still
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: wants that beval fight. He mentioned Sharaz if he beats
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: Adamas or whatever too. But that's my point with Canelo. Dude,
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: if you're willing to fight before, why the fuck would
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: you fights? And at some point you start to go,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: you know, and a lot of people want to talk about, oh,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: Floyd did the same thing. He's just in the Floyd mode.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: It's like, nah, dude, we knew Floyd had a six
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: fight contract right and after the pack y'all fight, he
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: did fight Burto and that is a bullshit fight, by
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: the way. The under card I remember being good, but yeah,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: it was a bullshit made event. The thing is, he
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: never fought another professional boxer again in a real fight.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: He fought McGregor, like what two years later, came out
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: for a bunch of millik you know, bunch of money.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: But he never he didn't sign a new deal. He
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: didn't say I'm gonna be here for a couple more years.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: He didn't say I'm gonna keep fighting. He didn't say
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: any of that shit. He's been exhibition ever since the
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: McGregor too, as we know. So it's different. You know,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: if you're still fighting and you're willing to fight a
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: quality opponent at a higher weight in bifal, then why
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: don't you give his Benavitez to go from Berlanga to Skull.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: It's just it's it's just not a good it's not
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: a good matchup. And like I said, I hope Skull
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: has a good outing. You know, it's nothing personal against
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: him or nothing like that. I've seen him fight a
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: couple of times. He's okay, you know, he's pretty good.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: He's got a bunch of amateur fights, you know, from
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: what I understand, it's he doesn't he's got a lot
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: of fights, but not necessarily considering the amount of fights,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: not necessarily a bunch of high level wins or whatever
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: in the amateurs. But I don't. I I lightly follow
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: the amateurs. I'll go I'll watch some live throughout the
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: year every once in a while, and the Olympics and
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: all that, but I'll go dig back into them, you know,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: to find more out about a current pro. Then I
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: will watch them a couple times, maybe a couple times
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: a year. I'll watch a stream or whatever. You know,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: if someone sends me something, I'll be like, oh wow,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: that kid's good, you know, or whatever, watching highlights or whatever.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: And I'll fully admit that. But yeah, I just it
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: is what it is. Now, what are the other two
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: fights gonna be? Is it gonna be eh? And then
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: like a Soso opponent and then bival or you know,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: hopefully they can make that Benevy this fight. But I
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, I don't know. It's it's gonna
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see but this type of matchup, like
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: if they run with that two time undisputed stuff, when
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: all's Canelo did was drop a belt, Like every time
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: he fights it's for lineal. He already did undisputed. It's lineal.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: I can't call it undisputed really because we know who
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: he was supposed to fight to. If you're gonna say
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: he's gonna re up his lineal or reup his undisputed, right,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: and I get it right, he'll get that belt and
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: then he'll be undisputed with all the belts, and then
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: it sets up Crawford for undisputed again against undisputed, But
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: not really because Crawford's not undisputed at fifty four, I
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: guess like Charlo was. But he's been undisputed, right, so
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: he'll be he'll try to go for his third undisputed,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: you know. So I get it, but I don't think
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: I think that's a selling point. But you know, you
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: could say that anyway, Like I'm not gonna say he's
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: a two time undisputed, you know, because he'd have to
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: lose in the ring, lose all of his belts, loses
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: someone and then beat the person or so maybe beat
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: someone else for him or whatever. You're down the line.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but you know, it is what it is.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: It's disappointing because you're coming off Berlanga. So you told
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: us a couple of years ago to all these fighters
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: at one sixty eight fight each other, and one man
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: fought a bunch of good fighters in a row. Now,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: and if you're willing to go up to fight bivil
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: like it did in Kovilev, and my guess is, well,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: who knows, maybe it would be a catchway if they
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: fought again. I don't know, but it's just it does it.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: It's it's just it's it's wild. Let's just put it
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: that way. It's wild. So we'll see, you know, hopefully
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: hopefully Skull does give him a good outing. You know,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: like I said, if he won three or four rounds, man,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: that'd be like hey man, you know, that'd be a
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: big one. But yeah, I mean, you know, the yield
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: drums and the riders, and you know, I get some
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: of the stuff, Like I understood the Charlotte thing. I
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: understood the Berlanga thing because I knew it would sell
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: and it sold really well. But I don't know, it's
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: just I get, you know, at least this. Presumably he'll
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: keep his twenty five dollars pay per views or twenty
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: nine or whatever. So I guess that's a good thing.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: I got a buddy, couple buddies who are big on
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: Canelos Sea. I'm just gonna go over their house and
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: watch it. I won't be partaking in the purchase of
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: this pay per view, you know. I pick and choose
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: like everybody else. So, according to Front Office Sports, ESPN
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: parting ways with Top Rank Boxing after eight years. That's
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: the headline. Netflix and Warner Brother Discovery were not interested
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: in Top Rank in preliminary talks. Sources set okay, Now,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: ESPN and Top Rank didn't say anything right, but the
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: report here from Front Office Sports is the ESPN has
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: informed the boxing company it will be moving on after
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: the eight year partnership concludes in August. So, you know,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: does that mean they are going to go to the Zone?
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: Does that mean it's kind of some at the Zone?
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: They mentioned Pro Box potentially in here. As far as
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: getting some other fighters on there, I wouldn't doubt it,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: much like the PBC has had to do recently. And
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: then maybe something else. So maybe it's the Zone and
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: pro box. Maybe it's just a zone. I don't know.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but that would be a just being honest. Now, okay,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: but going from ESPN and throughout the year having a
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: sport on that's more popular than boxing leads you into
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: your boxing event does make a difference ratings right and
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: for quite some time, and I always thought this was
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: a big plus that, you know, you didn't even need
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: ESPN to watch their fights. The last few years it's
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: been like that where if you just got ESPN Plus
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: you could see their fights. Originally it wasn't like that,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: but it turned into that, and that was that's a
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: great deal. You didn't need to have cable, was the point. So,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: but spokespeople for Netflix in Warner Brothers Discovery, you know,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: they they didn't comment, but yeah, so we'll see exactly
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: where they go. I guess you could say this, I
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: don't know, this is kind of like, well not kind
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: of like it is more of an outside source than
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: the boxing stuff that we're used to. So and I
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: do believe that, like I mentioned, I think earlier that
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: I do believe they would probably have said something that
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: they said, don't we're instilled negotiations, you know, I think
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: they probably would have came out and said something if
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: this wasn't true. Now that's my opinion. Maybe I'm proved wrong.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: I damn sure didn't want them to leave ESPN. I
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: definitely didn't. You know, what would be ideal would be
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: if they somehow got on Amazon, you know, and had
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: those two getting it in. That would be great, just
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: to kind of show you, you know, where I'm at.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: You know, that'd be great. That'd be great, you know.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: But I don't think that's gonna happen. I don't know.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Top Rank and Bob Aaron and you know,
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: they've they've said that they're more likely it's gonna be
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: more than one. So maybe it will be a few,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. Maybe just maybe the Dana
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: White thing, even though they hate each other, I don't know,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe maybe maybe they sell it to them,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't, I don't. I really don't know,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you. But you know, let's see,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: you know, let's see that they have good matchmaking. I
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: do think that like what they did at heavyweight, when
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: it seemed like they signed some guys and then they
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: didn't necessarily fight him fight each other. It took him
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: a while to get to good fights. If that division
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: did get to good fights. There's divisions like the featherweight
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: and especially like one thirty had it, you know, some
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: really good fights. And you know for quite a long
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: time that WBO featherweight belt has been in house for
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: it for a long time, right, it was way in
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: house for a long time. I mean, you know, it
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: is what it is. Like I said, I'm not happy
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: hearing this, you know, and when we brought it up,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: I would get messages, but John and I would talk
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: about it that oh, just because PBC went on a bit,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: you know, showtime and all that. They you know, they're
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: gonna go out of business, not top rank, and we
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not I want them to stay on ESPN. You know,
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: I want more cards on Amazon. I want it on
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: the biggest platform. That's why I wasn't against Canelo going
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: to Netflix just as a one off too, to take
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: care of to cash out Jake Paul, It's just okay, bye,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: you know, why not. That's that's not the worst thing
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: to ever happen that. That was my point. It's just
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: like this isn't gonna like this is a really bad
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: look for boxing. It really wasn't, dude, And like I said,
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: it's it's boxing. Boxing has to a casual fan, mostly
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: bad looks. That's what they think of the sport. You know.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: They don't pay attention to it like us, so they wouldn't.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: They don't even know what the hell is going on, right.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: It does look like Caleb Plant is going to be
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: back in the summer, so it'll be good to see
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: him back in the ring. He's talked about Berlange, He's
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: talked about Baul Charlowe, he's talked about Gee I believe,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: so yeah, you know, I don't know. Sabril Matias and
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: Gabriel Venezuela will beat up on his own March first.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: That's a pretty good fight there. Yeah, I got off.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: I'm looking through my messages like, oh tomorrow or not
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: tomorrow night? Was that Thursday night? No? No, no, no,
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: no that that was a couple of days ago. What
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: am I saying? Someone? Uh, jowel off the big goose Beck.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: Someone sent me a screenshot of brunch Boxing. Shout out
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: to brunch Boxing that you know he he I think
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: he was sick or something like that. I don't I
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: don't remember. Let's see what else. Oh, yeah, that Carlos Otamus,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: he said he tweeted a few handful of days ago.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: Now he said, my manager told me that they said
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: I couldn't. I could not enter Saudi Arabia before the
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: date they decide. My team bought our tickets on their own.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: They let them. They let my team pass, but I
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: couldn't pass. I'm stranded waiting in the Las Vegas airport.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: Now it did get fixed, so that's a positive. But
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: it was kind of funky, like what you know, did
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: it have Was it a visa thing or was it
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean that that's that was a
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: little funky, little funky when I when I heard that,
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: because you know, you want to get there early enough
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: to acclimate and all that good stuff. So so that's good.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: He's you know, he's good to go, so we should
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: be good to go. Here's another one. Good old Glaze
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: was like Canelo Jake Paul looking better and better to
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: happen in May. And get this, it's not an Amazon
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: Brian page for you. It's on Netflix. And he made
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: it seem like, you know, they weren't gonna be involved,
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: because that's what he does, but even Jake Paul said
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: Al Hayman was gonna be involved in that one. But whatever.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: Brunch Boxing the the Twitter page so Bubbles reported as
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: finalizer being finalized that we're never close. Manny Paciel, Connor
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: Ben Stevenson, Zepata back versus Martinez, ns Ortiz is sac
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: against Garcia in the list, goes on, I mean Lopez
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: and Hitchins, now, I think that's gonna happen, but because
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: of the you know, the layout, but like they're both
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: the same manager or whatever. But like, yeah, they make
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: a great point. You know, they definitely make a great point.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: Ron Katz says boxing writers have to do better, not
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: all of that, not all of them. Mind you spreading
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: misinformation to the fans. Here's a real disservice. It's like, yeah,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: you're right, except uh, you know, it wasn't their fault
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: in this one. Here's a little uh boxing Twitter Terrence
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: is a big money fight for Canelo. Two time undisputed
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: Crawford has the two tools that cause the upset. This
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: is also why Canelo doesn't want to fight this when
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: it was off, he said he wouldn't get credit. And
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: that's another thing he said. He wasn't gonna get credit
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: for Crawford fight. Then he fights, you know, so it's
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: like you told everybody to go fight. If Benevis did,
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: you're not fighting them. So it's just kind of weak.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: I'll just admit it, like you can't. You can't not
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: admit it, dude. It is what it is. Like I said,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: that's not gonna keep them on the whole of fame,
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: but uh, you know, it is what it is. But
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: I do think that Canelo Crawford fight will be good
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: if three of the four fights for Canelo are in Sadi.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: This is a screenshot. I can't tell who texted or
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: tweeted it. If three of the four fights for Canelo
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: are in Sadi as being reported, and the shift of
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: boxing to the east is here facing the sport headed
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: across the ocean with the likes of aj Usik in anyway,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say Usik's a face of boxing. But yeah,
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: we knew this was eventually coming for American boxing, no stars,
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: lack of big fights. You know, It's funny because like
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: Canelo has been doing big business here, so I mean
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: he's going east because like the thing about the Sadi,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: it's not organic you know, it's not organic. So it's
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: it's not like you go there like you go to Vegas,
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: because there's like anywhere from like ten to twelve to
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: like fifteen to seventeen. There's only like a certain you know,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: fourteen thousand tickets that you're gonna sell, so you can
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: jack up the prices, right, and hotels are right there.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that's not in Sadi, but people
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: are going there. Fighters are going there because it's the
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: biggest money, not because it generates the biggest gates. And
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: I'll say this. You know, at least they are putting
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: Canela on in our time over here in the prime time,
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: so that does make more sense. I will give them
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: credit there, But it's not an organic shift to the East.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: It's just not. So you know, it's not because there's
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: no big fights here, you know, it's not just that.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, two years ago we had a monster year.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: Last year it was hit or missed, no doubt about it.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: But it's just funny how like Saudi Arabia Turkey fights
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: count more and they don't. We get that they don't
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: have to make money, right, but then why do you
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: even why wouldn't you get on the biggest platform possible.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: Then someone said the other day, you know, it would
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: have been cool to have a super if you got
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: all this money, then buy eight million for a Super
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: Bowl spot and talk about them at Crawford in September
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: right there, you know. So it's not like, oh, there's
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: no big fights here. There's no names here. And that's
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: the funny part. Like Benefittez just did a healthy gate.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: If anybody outside the PBC did that gate, they looked,
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: they looked at way differently. And obviously we know Davonte
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: and so it's just to say no big fights there
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: has a big big fights over here much. It's like
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: it's just bullshit, And yeah, it's moving east for us,
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: you know, specific reason. And whether that actually grows, that's
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: not growing the sport though, That doesn't grow like when
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: you say, oh, it's gonna grow worldwide where though, so
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: you're gonna take any way out of Japan, like the
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: Zone does good for a while actually even before it
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: started popping off of boxing in Japan. I'll say that,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: but like, I don't I understand if you're gonna paying
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: big bucks to take some of the fights there. Totally
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: get that, but It's like, like I said, this kind
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: of feels like this Canelo deal on the surface kind
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: of feels like the run of the mill boxing deal. Hey,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: you're gonna fight this this okay fighter and then we're
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: gonna get you there, and hey, that's boxing. But don't
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: turn around and tell me that he's way different, you know,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: like he's way way different based off of this type
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: of stuff. But yeah, if he doesn't need to make
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: money and it's just the government cool, then try to
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: get it on Amazon or Netflix or like have his
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: pay per views available multiple places. Then you know, Ezra
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: from Bronchboy Bunch Boxing, it's not a shift to the East.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: It's a disappearance of the sport from the general audience.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: You would have to you would have to market for
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: the sport to call it a shift. You would have
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: to have a market for the shift a vicious blow
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: of the US market, which is a vicious blow to
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: sport and it And like I said, I'm not saying
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: all those fights, some of them may sense being over
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: there because they wouldn't be made here or in the UK.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: I mean the UK. The last couple of years, just
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: in general, it has hurt them and so you know,
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a weird thing, you know what I mean,
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: like at for hardcore fight fans. Hell yeah, but once again,
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: don't tell me about growing the sport. Though. If Fred
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: said breaking news, Netflix couldn't come up with the escrow.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: That's a funny one. So yeah, he mentioned the Vaal hiras,
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: we'll see, We'll see. You know, Crawford. I get why
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: they're making the fight. Like I said, I give I
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: give them credit for doing it here, you know, I do,
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: I do. I think that's big. Someone said, I'll be screaming. Yes,
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: oh I've been screaming, and yes for the skull fight.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: May the fight with Crawford is only historic if Bug
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: Cropper has an opportunity to become three times three division
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: undisputed in the modern day. The thing is like, it's
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: just funny because you know the old statement that I've
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: said many a time since this undisputed started popping off lately,
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: not everyone is the same, you know, not all of
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: them are created equal. And this is just the I
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: dropped a belt, I'm gonna get it back. That's not
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: really undisputed. So just getting a lineal just going up
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: to one sixty eight getting a lineal. You know, honestly,
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: I'd still call him undisputed. But you know, it is
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: what it is. Like like I said, if the IBF
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: was legit, they would have had Benevidas in their rankings
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: and they would have called for Benavides. Oh yeah, are
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: you know out of UFC and tk O and all that.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: Emanual He said, the all the act hurt boxing, and
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: who knows what's gonna happen with the all the act right,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: and he said Dana White. He said this on McAfee show.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: He said, Dana White has a plan for boxing. So
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: and and then it goes on to say they've been
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: kicking the tires. They've been kicking the tires for a while.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I wouldn't doubt if they get into it.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: But it just until they get into it. They get
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: into it. By the way, I saw this brunch boxing
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: once again, shots out to everyone over there, shots out
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: to Matt Nazure and everybody. Domestic violent charges against Jamal
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: Hearing dismissed insufficient evidence. So you know, it is what
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: it is, all right, Vick So and I don't know
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: when they say it, you know where it didn't say
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: charges drop or that, well, their drop but instant. So
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: was there enough evidence to make the arrest then? And
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: we we do know it can it can be different
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: state to stay, I guess, but you know sometimes it
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: is someone just saying you did it and you got
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: to go to jail for a little bit, you know.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: But he was in there for my understanding. So but
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: that's the report that insufficient evidence, So I think that's
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: good to get some sort of closure with that. Vic says,
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: what happens when there's no more established stars for Turkey
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: to bring to Sadi than what I guess. Enjoy the
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: fights for now and worry about it later. Huh. You know,
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see, we will see, Like I hope
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: the best. John Nash said over that ri thing with
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: the boxing, he said that in all the act, he
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: said the problem with boxing boxing at seventy thirty in
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: the favor of the boxers instead of thirty seventy for him. Like,
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: I want this Turkey thing to work out, and so
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: far it's done pretty good. But like I said, the
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: exposure is just not there considering the investment. The exposure
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: is nowhere where it should be. You know, we always
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: heard so much about the investors for the PBC and
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: how it's failing and all that. They ended up getting
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: a network deal, you know. Then they lost it, no
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: doubt about it, with Fox. But during that time they
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: were getting major ratings, you know, so all that investment
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: money got them a deal, but it also put it
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: sparked ratings, like they were getting big ratings exposure. So
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: and if you could say, well, the fights Turkey's making
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: on average are better, Okay, cool, so let's put him
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: in front of more people, then it's really not that
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: hard to figure out. And it's not being a hater,
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: just breaking down what's fairly obvious. I think, let's see here.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: But yeah, hopefully in twenty twenty six that Benefitez as
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: part of the Canelo fight, if you're making that kind
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: of money, I really hope so, man. And you know,
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: although it would be a shame to have it over there,
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: I would really hope that they. I don't see why
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: they would put it in prime time over here, you know,
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: so if it's not here, at least it'd be the
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: normal time and then you know, hopefully we see a
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: lot more advertising for that Crawford fight. And like I said,
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: here's a perfect example, the the promos that they cut
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: our movie, Like, we all know that the production's a level.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, it tells the damn story in this you
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: know it's great. Well, that would be cool if that
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: was across a lot of different platforms, not just social media.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: You know, if you could run that even an extended
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: version of ten minutes or something on Amazon on you know, well,
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know, ESPN and Plus or you know, run
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: it all over the place. You know it's gonna be
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: in September. Run it during the biggest college football game
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: in September. There's gonna be a dude, September is packed
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: with college foot ball schedule, even though the first week
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: is packed. So put it where people can go, oh shit,
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: undefeated Crawford, you know, like that the Fidal cell, if
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: you allow people to know about it. Brunch Boxing also
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: pointed out with that Turkey Ala Sheik interview that in
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: you way and ball but would not likely happen in
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five because he doesn't want to go up
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: to featherweight yet. So let's hope. Let's hope that means uh,
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: you know, na Kazani, because he also did mention that,
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: by the way, he did mention that. So yeah, let's hope, man,
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: that would be great, that would be phenomenal. Oh, here's
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: a here's what I'm talking about. So now net uh Now,
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: Netflix knows that the business of boxing is very different
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: from any sport in the world, and anything can happened
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: matter of minutes, right, Barbosa box This this is him
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: by default, his excellent excellency helped other platforms by preventing
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: a huge commercial win on netlik Netflix with Canelo and
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: Jake Paul. Do you see what I mean? He, by
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: default Turkey helped other platforms by preventing a huge commercial
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: win for Netflix. Well how about boxing? Like see now
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: it matters what where it goes now, it matters what
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: network is on. Well if I'm not if if Turkey
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't meaning to do with Netflix, I don't want to.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: I don't want to give them a win. But like
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: I said, flip into the PBC and it's a completely
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: different thing. Speaking of pro box, like I talked about
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: earlier on March twenty second, Leicester Martinez and Joe Shawn James,
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: sign me up for that. I like that in the
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: main event, looks like the under card's good too, So Yeah,
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: that's good news. That's good news. That's a good fight.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: They're really doing their thing, man, they are doing their thing. Okay,
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: So it looks like I did forget to mention this.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: Queensberry just sown it's happened in April. They're going heavyweight Central.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: They're going heavyweight Central, Dyllion White, Joe Joyce, A Kohli
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: in that racka force or whatever. H Rakapor poor hit.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: I can't remember that. Tony Martin and Adeline and Schwartz,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: Tommy Schwartz. So you know, I mean for heavyweight fights,
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: hopefully we get some uh pretty good action there. I
• 1:36:52

  Speaker 1: USI and Roll Boxing quote to you did saying correct,

• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: Ernie Terrell, or makes a big deal above his four
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: WBA titles because of stupid acknowledge and stupid things. It's
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: just it's just one of those things where you're like, Eh,
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: it's it's you gave a belt away and you just
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: get it back. By the way, williams Skull is plus
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: thirteen sixty, So that's exactly what Picasso is. And I'm
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: not talking about the painter. Okay, the opening line that
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: I saw Crawford only a plus one eighty four as
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: a dog. Could you imagine if Crawford won that fight?
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, gracious, Oh my goodness, gracious man. Speaking
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: of Crawford, he did a he did step on the scale.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: Now who knows, but it says one eighty six on there. Now,
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: who knows what he's got on and all that stuff.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that's kind of you know, he's putting on
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: some weight getting ready. Here's that same Barbosa box dude,
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: and I'm right here with him on this one. He says,
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: re hot season boxing or ring magazine commercial spot at
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl would have done wonders for our sport. Yeah,
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: and shouts out to android uppercut. He was saying, the
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: last time we had a Super Bowl commercial it was
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: for boxing. It was Wilder Fury too, So yeah, makes
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: a good point there. Yeah, they promoted the hell out
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: of that. Oh yes, So we already kind of knew
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: about Flandora and Booker. You know, Fandora has been off
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: for a while. He got jerked around a little bit
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: thinking he was going to get Spence, this, that, and
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: the third. So they're bringing him back hopefully it's a
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: big fight next that's nothing. You know. Booker's a good
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: fighter though, and Fandora has enough flaws to where it
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: could be competitive. But what I like about this the
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: Elijah Garcia Toreu Shay. I do like that fight for
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: Elijah Garcia. I do like that fight for Garcia. I
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: think it's solid. I think it's solid. I think he
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: needs to get on the good foot. And this is uh,
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: this is March twenty second according to Jake Donovan PBC
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: on Prime. So straight up, no paper or nothing. And
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: then another thing. You know what Selgado will bring We'll see,
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: but Haesus Ramos juniors taking him on and so they're
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: bringing him back quick. So that part I really do
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: like that. I do like that that that's happening. Oh yeah,
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: Berlanga Will Berlanga is back fighting on an undercard of
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: Amma Williams. He's fighting Jonathan Gonzalez, who was off for
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: eleven years, and Hans broke this down on Twitter. Let
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: me point out how horrific this fight is. Jonathan zlas
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: Ortiz stop fighting for eleven years from twenty thirteen to
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. He thought twice since coming back, so
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: at least he's got a third camp. But eleven years
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: out is a long time, you know, bullshtick. I thought
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: that him being out for three years, him getting some
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: fights and being on your third camp, it worked out
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: pretty good for him, But eleven years, that's a long time. Anyway,
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get out of here. Like I said, sorry about
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: the Apple podcast update thing. I thought that it was
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: gonna be legit. I didn't know it would you know
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: have a new one. You can literally search it. It's stupid.
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: I understand. I'm gonna try to correct it, but thanks
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: for hanging with me. Tell a friend to tell a friend. Anyway,
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get out of here, enjoy the fights, See
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: you next week. Piece
