[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back fight fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for this week's fight report with Hanson Crafton Here to talk about the fights that have just happened and what's coming up and Hanson what just happened was a pretty big upset Yeah, there's a really big upset Very surprising he had a crowd and T-Mobile Reno Las Vegas on Saturday with surprises actually he had two upsets the first wasn't really
0:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I know Joshua Mayan won the title, but I don't know if he can really call it an upset.
0:34
[SPEAKER_00]: They call the fight off because probably a minute or so into the fight, Pantosia, through a high kick was getting taken down, playing at his back arm to us off in the blow as he was going to the ground and he snapped his arm at his elbow, looked like a complete dislocation.
0:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I bent backwards as kind of like the Jaden Daniels injury looked a little worse than that.
1:00
[SPEAKER_00]: He was unable to continue as soon as he went down, emotion to the rift, it, hey, hey, hey.
1:05
[SPEAKER_00]: So they stopped that fight.
1:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Van, can the title would have been an upset?
1:10
[SPEAKER_00]: He was the underdog owned in the half fight, but the way he got it's not really an upset, as you could say, Sonic, he actually won the fight.
1:19
[SPEAKER_00]: If you go and look at the record, it's gonna be a win, but if you watch the fight, you know what happened.
1:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
1:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was more shocking than anything, but then,
1:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Peter Yarnon and then Marab Dasha Billy, Peter Yarn had just a great performance, he had a great game plan, he was able to keep the fight on the feet if he did get taken down, he's able to get right back up.
1:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Marab had a hard time getting him down, he held him a lot against the fence, but Yarn was able to break away and then when the fight was on the feet, he just kind of picked
1:54
[SPEAKER_00]: He had a really good jab going Saturday night.
1:56
[SPEAKER_00]: It was straight quick.
1:59
[SPEAKER_00]: It did a lot of damage.
2:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Marob, it was this one eye was busted up, really bad.
2:03
[SPEAKER_00]: It was bleeding.
2:03
[SPEAKER_00]: His nose was busted, really bad.
2:06
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just a really good performance.
2:08
[SPEAKER_00]: He hurt Marob to the body a few times with kicks and punches, hurting with a big right hand early in the fight.
2:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And he pretty much just, it was, I think on two judges' cards, it was
2:21
[SPEAKER_00]: three to two and on another one it was four on but outside of the first couple rounds it really wasn't close you know Morab usually is the guy who later in the fight wears guys down because of the stamina and his cardio and his pressure but Yon was there for the for the test he had the better pressure of the two all night he just stayed on him as it was on the feet he kept the jab in his face he backed him up with it he was able to land the right hand when he needed to
2:51
[SPEAKER_00]: And then if he did get taken down he was able to get back up and he wasn't taken down as much as you know I think we're obshot over 20 sometimes and probably got him down twice and young was able to score a couple take down some self.
3:05
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's just a really great performance by yon.
3:07
[SPEAKER_00]: He looked outstanding.
3:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably the best I've seen him look and any of his fights even when he won the title previously.
3:15
[SPEAKER_00]: He just looked very good.
3:16
[SPEAKER_00]: He looked like got a really good game plan.
3:19
[SPEAKER_00]: He was well trained.
3:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And it all accumulated Saturday night, because he put on a really good performance.
3:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think three to two or four to one?
3:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought more for the one.
3:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought Morab was the rounds that his coach and the corner was telling me one.
3:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't even believe that was press and 40 did have pressure and he would lay on him against the cage.
3:42
[SPEAKER_00]: And he would shoot for the take down and get to the waist, but he was able to get him down.
3:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't give you points for that, especially when the exchanges on the feet were going the way they were going.
3:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Yom was winning almost all the exchanges on the feet, and Yon had times where he was pushing the pace and putting the pressure on morale.
4:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I had Yon winning four to one, and I thought there were three of the four rounds where we're clearly Yon rounds.
4:12
[SPEAKER_01]: As you mentioned on the fight report last week,
4:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Rob was trying to become the first fighter ever to win or to defend a title four times in the same year.
4:22
[SPEAKER_01]: So not only does Yon keep him from doing that, but of course this was a rematch as well.
4:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Which leads me into this is probably gonna see a third one right.
4:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
4:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you'll definitely see him fight again.
4:36
[SPEAKER_00]: It's crazy.
4:37
[SPEAKER_00]: If you'd asked me after the first time they fought as Domna's Marab was,
4:44
[SPEAKER_00]: a young with beaten Rob in a pretty decisive win, it would have been tough to see just because the first fight was so one sided towards Morab, Yon made the correct adjustments.
4:56
[SPEAKER_00]: He was well trained after the fight.
4:58
[SPEAKER_00]: There were some videos released of the training he did against another Olympian style wrestler, and the gap pretty much had the exact same style that Morab had
5:08
[SPEAKER_00]: It was pretty neat watching that video, watching how Marab's take-downs are more.
5:13
[SPEAKER_00]: He likes to press your against the cage and take you down from the cage.
5:16
[SPEAKER_00]: George St. Pierre was really good about being able to take you down in the middle of the octagon.
5:21
[SPEAKER_00]: He would shoot in with a blast double and be able to get you down.
5:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Marab's more of a guy likes to shoot on the single, then get to the hips and then get you taken down.
5:28
[SPEAKER_00]: So he normally will get you pressing his to cage, use the cage to pull you off of and take you down with momentum, or it just press your against the cage and take you down.
5:37
[SPEAKER_00]: It was very interesting to see the training with Yon because he was very well prepared for that.
5:43
[SPEAKER_00]: The guy he was training with was just constantly shooting on him, shooting on him, pressing against the cage.
5:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was defending it.
5:50
[SPEAKER_00]: So, like I said, he was very well trained.
5:53
[SPEAKER_00]: He knew exactly what to do throughout the whole fight and it worked for him.
5:56
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he won a pretty decisive victory.
5:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I feel like he won four rounds and they none were really close.
6:04
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't really think about game plans and fighting that often, uh, but it game plan really can be the difference.
6:12
[SPEAKER_00]: It makes more sure large especially boxing.
6:14
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a lot different because guys kind of, you have to be able to fill the fight out and certain fights are going to go a certain way.
6:22
[SPEAKER_00]: So you have to build it just a lot in boxing, but it makes martial arts if you can go in with a game plan and you can stick with it or if you can train against someone else's game plan You're pretty much fight to say every fight.
6:35
[SPEAKER_00]: All his fights will say he's not the best guy on the feet.
6:37
[SPEAKER_00]: He does have good cardio.
6:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So he can kind of use his his stand up striking doesn't kick much But he kind of uses that to set up his take down and he's just got such good cardio.
6:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He's relentless with it.
6:50
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's able to stay on you
6:52
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you can train for his style of finding and the way he tries to take people down, that's pretty much all he has.
6:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And it kind of showed once he, when he was not able to get yon down, he pretty much was just a target for yon.
7:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I think that's why his face got beat up so much because he just really doesn't have the skill set on the feet to compete with the high level striker like yon.
7:13
[SPEAKER_00]: And he wasn't able to get him down on the ground where he shines.
7:17
[SPEAKER_00]: He really didn't have a plan B.
7:20
[SPEAKER_00]: In mixed martial arts, it's really, if you have a good game plan, stick to that game plan, it can really help you out in a fight, especially when you're fighting guys that are one-dimensional.
7:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Yon is the Bantamweight Champion.
7:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Van is the Flyweight Champion.
7:38
[SPEAKER_01]: They were the only two championship fights that night.
7:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Who else caught your eye?
7:48
[SPEAKER_00]: He looked really good in his fighting as a brand of marino.
7:50
[SPEAKER_00]: He stopped him in the second round.
7:52
[SPEAKER_00]: He was able to get him down flat and finish him with some ground and pound.
7:56
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll probably be next for Joshua Vand.
8:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think Intos just gonna be.
8:02
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not gonna be healed in time.
8:04
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not gonna sit Vand out for a year or so to wait for Intos just.
8:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Now whenever Intos just healthy, he's gonna come back and get a title fight.
8:12
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't lose that fight by any means.
8:15
[SPEAKER_00]: He came out strong.
8:17
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just a freak accent.
8:19
[SPEAKER_00]: He got his elbow snapped and that was the fight.
8:22
[SPEAKER_00]: So he would definitely get a title shot whenever he heals up, but I just don't think that Van will be willing to sit that long.
8:29
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a 20-something-second fight, 30-second fight form.
8:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
8:33
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll be able to turn around pretty quick.
8:36
[SPEAKER_00]: He can fight next league if he needed to.
8:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
8:38
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he'll have a quick turn around.
8:40
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I think him and Tar will be next.
8:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Tar looked really good against Marino.
8:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I know some people will tell you it was the early stoppage, but he had marino pin down was just willing on and the Reft didn't stop it.
8:52
[SPEAKER_00]: It could have got worse.
8:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he looked really good.
8:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Parade that up with a couple of his previous fights.
8:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he has earned a title shot.
9:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he is ready for a title shot and that'll be an interesting fight with him and Bane.
9:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the winner of that will obviously take on Pantosia whenever he comes back.
9:09
[SPEAKER_00]: So,
9:11
[SPEAKER_00]: It actually made some excitement in the flyweight division.
9:13
[SPEAKER_00]: The division has been kind of dominated by Pentosa.
9:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And now you've got a little excitement down there.
9:18
[SPEAKER_00]: You got some fresh blood.
9:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you'll have the former champion coming back trying to reclaim his title.
9:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So my thought that was good.
9:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the Henry Sehudo Peyton Talbot fight.
9:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Henry Sehudo retired.
9:31
[SPEAKER_00]: He's at the end of the division.
9:32
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a Olympic gold medalist, two weight champion.
9:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Kind of the wrestling way.
9:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Talbot looked really good in his fight.
9:44
[SPEAKER_00]: He was able to actually take Henry down a couple of times So he's shown in his last two fights the improvement in his wrestling.
9:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I think at one point that was the way people saw the beat Peyton But in his last couple of fights he has shown that he can't stop some take-downs and then against Henry He was able to take him down and his strike was really good.
10:03
[SPEAKER_00]: That's his bread and butter in new ways He busted Henry up on on the feed as well after the fight Henry's face was a mess really good performance out of him
10:11
[SPEAKER_00]: and a really good performance at that zero terror.
10:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought them two stood out on the other card and then gone obviously was the big winner of the night.
10:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this performance was great.
10:22
[SPEAKER_00]: He looked really good against a guy.
10:24
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people thought was unbeatable.
10:27
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's really who stood out to me on Saturday.
10:30
[SPEAKER_01]: So if y'all and Marab are gonna fight again, what's Talbot gonna do next?
10:35
[SPEAKER_00]: He's probably still working his way up.
10:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he just lost a couple fights ago.
10:40
[SPEAKER_00]: He's on a streak.
10:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's one, two straight now.
10:43
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll probably get a couple more fights, and then he'll probably start.
10:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he'll probably win.
10:50
[SPEAKER_00]: He may need one or two more, and then he might get title eliminator, or they might throw him in for the championship.
10:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Really just depends on who kind of,
10:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Shines in that band-in-weight division.
11:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I know there's a big fight coming up with song, you don't, and Sean O'Malley, who is a former champion, dongs the guy who's on a streak.
11:09
[SPEAKER_00]: He just beat the pseudo couple fights to go himself.
11:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I know that's a big fight.
11:14
[SPEAKER_00]: You got Umar in there as well.
11:16
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's still some guys in front of Talbot in the band-in-weight division, but he's on the right track.
11:22
[SPEAKER_00]: He's probably two or three fights away from the title shot.
11:25
[SPEAKER_01]: And UFC 324 is a January 24th, so of course that means not gonna have to pay for anybody can watch it.
11:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I think UFC fans are gonna have to do is make sure they have the paramount plus app.
11:37
[SPEAKER_01]: And from now on, it seems we're gonna get free fights.
11:43
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's a really good card to start that off main event.
11:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd really like Gachie and Pamela
11:51
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have really, I think our month, our suit, our two game is the number one container for the lightweight title, but he's still being punished for pulling out a fight day of the fight when he had his title shot against Islam.
12:05
[SPEAKER_00]: So they put in patty pimples, who's been on a run, and then Justin Gachie, who's been a perennial top lightweight.
12:11
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're going to fight for the interim belt.
12:16
[SPEAKER_00]: But he's actually dealing with some personal stuff right now.
12:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm always going through a divorce and then he just said, other personal things.
12:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So he is on the shelf for a little bit right now.
12:25
[SPEAKER_00]: So they are doing an interim lightweight title.
12:27
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're going to be the main event of that card.
12:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you're going to have Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nuneus for the women's band and weight title, which is a really big fight.
12:37
[SPEAKER_00]: The guy, Amanda Nuneus, who's probably the best women's fighter of all time.
12:41
[SPEAKER_00]: She's a two weight champion at 35 and 45 pounds.
12:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Kayla Harrison's been on a dominant run.
12:47
[SPEAKER_00]: She was a champion at PFL.
12:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Came over to UFC.
12:50
[SPEAKER_00]: She's on the feed and UFC.
12:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Just wanted to about dominated Julia, but Julia on opinion, her fight for the title.
12:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And the story with these two is that you actually used to be training partners.
13:01
[SPEAKER_00]: That was one of the reasons why they split is because Nune has seen Harrison come and once Harrison got to the UFC, I think she knew the potential fight was gonna happen between the two.
13:12
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Nune is actually left the camp, they were at the have trained together.
13:17
[SPEAKER_00]: So, that's a real interesting fight against two of the top women fighters.
13:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Harrison's hasn't been in the UFC that long, but her performance is and how she looked in the PFL as well.
13:27
[SPEAKER_00]: You can say she's probably one of the better women fighters in the history of women, especially at that weight class.
13:34
[SPEAKER_00]: So, that's a really interesting fight.
13:37
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a really big fight for women's MMA.
13:40
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got the goat coming back.
13:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Nunez took a couple years off.
13:43
[SPEAKER_00]: She's coming back and then you got Harrison, who's been on a run lately.
13:46
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's really interesting.
13:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you also have Sean O'Malley of our song, Yidong, which I talked about earlier.
13:52
[SPEAKER_00]: That could be a title-liminator fight.
13:55
[SPEAKER_00]: They're both ranked three and five.
13:57
[SPEAKER_00]: It was really just a pin on who wins and how they win.
14:00
[SPEAKER_00]: It's good for O'Malley that Marab did lose because O'Malley actually has a win over Yon It was very controversial a lot of people thought Yon won but O'Malley does have a win over him So that'll help him get to the title quicker if the Marab wins I think O'Malley probably has to put on a pretty good little streak to get a third fight with Marab since he's already lost to him twice
14:22
[SPEAKER_00]: but with yon win and that bumps him right up.
14:24
[SPEAKER_00]: So a good win for O'Malley.
14:26
[SPEAKER_00]: He probably fights for the title next.
14:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you don't hasn't fought either.
14:30
[SPEAKER_00]: One of them hasn't had to have a shot yet.
14:32
[SPEAKER_00]: So a good win for him.
14:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he gets the title shot.
14:36
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's a big fight as well.
14:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you got a couple heavy weights on there.
14:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so that's a really fun card and a really good card to start off the Paramount Plus deal.
14:47
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's the same place as the UFC 323 D-Mobile Arena in Vegas.
14:54
[SPEAKER_01]: And one of my favorites is also fighting that night Rose Nama Unis.
14:59
[SPEAKER_00]: She's on the other card.
15:00
[SPEAKER_00]: She's got a really big fight with Natalia Silva.
15:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Silva's actually ranked number two in the flyway division.
15:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Rose is at number six.
15:08
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's a big fight.
15:10
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Rose kind of saying she's still in there.
15:16
[SPEAKER_00]: put her name in a title fight contention and then you've got Sylvus coming up and and she wants to stay up her name for the next woman to fight for the title.
15:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I think if she wins, it's impressively, she probably will get a title shot next.
15:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Rose is a former champion and she's a big name.
15:32
[SPEAKER_00]: If she goes out there and starts your Sylvus, she could get a title shot off of that performance.
15:36
[SPEAKER_00]: So, it's a really fun card.
15:38
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of good names on there.
15:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Jeanne Sylvus fighting.
15:42
[SPEAKER_00]: being arrested, how he responds after having his first loss in the UFC in his last fight in Stiego Lopez.
15:48
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a really fun card.
15:50
[SPEAKER_00]: You got Michael Johnson, Alexander Hernandez, two knockout guys in lightweight division.
15:55
[SPEAKER_00]: They're fighting each other.
15:56
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you've got Umar, he's fighting Davidson Figure Rail on there.
16:00
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a really fun card, a really good card to start the free air off for the UFC.
16:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that'll draw a lot of our balls.
16:12
[SPEAKER_00]: So you had a really nice box and fight.
16:15
[SPEAKER_00]: It was for the WBC Inter World Super Light Championship.
16:18
[SPEAKER_00]: You had Lamont Roach, and he was fighting the Isaac Pit Bull Cruz, really fun fight, really good fight.
16:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Both of these guys had coming in with some momentum.
16:29
[SPEAKER_00]: The Roach in his last fight had to draw with Tank.
16:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of people thought he won that fight.
16:34
[SPEAKER_00]: So he was coming in high.
16:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Pit Bull Cruz has been on the run.
16:37
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a guy that's kind of,
16:39
[SPEAKER_00]: And his last fight, I think I was on our city fights like he's got rabies.
16:42
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a relentless guy attack that's really good styles.
16:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Roach is more of a guy who counter punches, heavy handed, and then pit bulls a guy that comes forward at all costs, and with themself in the fire to land some punches.
16:56
[SPEAKER_00]: They had a really good fight, ended up being a draw.
16:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I know it sucks for Roach, that's two draws in a row.
17:01
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people again thought Roach might have won that fight.
17:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I saw a couple of people the next day they said they thought maybe Pitbull won.
17:08
[SPEAKER_00]: It's one of those.
17:09
[SPEAKER_00]: It was really tough for me to call.
17:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought Roach was winning and then he got knocked down around three.
17:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So then I thought Cruz was winning, but then Cruz got a point deducted in round seven.
17:20
[SPEAKER_00]: for a kidney punch that might have been on the borderline.
17:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't really know it's tough to tell with how high these guys wear some of their shorts now.
17:29
[SPEAKER_00]: But a really exciting fight.
17:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought Roach did have the lead, but then I thought people won the last two rounds.
17:39
[SPEAKER_00]: And so it was really hard to tell when it went actually to the judges.
17:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I was kind of leaning more towards a draw than anything myself, just because it was so tough to call.
17:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought some of the rounds roach looked really good and then I thought some of the rounds people did especially for people to be able to take the last two, I felt like that kind of stood out to the judges even if they had roach went in the fight for him to lose the last two rounds like that.
18:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought we're big for people.
18:05
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was a really good fight, a really fun fight and they definitely will fight again.
18:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know when they both were, I wouldn't say beat up,
18:17
[SPEAKER_00]: where he thought he broke his right hand, so we had to wait and see what the doctors say on that.
18:23
[SPEAKER_00]: That'll definitely be a fight that we'll see again.
18:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how soon he'll run it back, but they'll definitely fight again, and it'll be for the interworld super light title.
18:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if they're gonna move on without tank, but I think maybe if whoever wins may fight tank if he decides to fight again, that's a big fight whenever they redo it, but it was a very fun fight Saturday that they had in San Antonio.
18:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Pantson, I want to talk about some fights coming up, including your guy in a way taking on David Picasso on December 27th.
19:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Also this weekend, a couple of fights of interest, but do Jack is defending his cruiserweight championship against the guy who he won it from, little McCallan.
19:10
[SPEAKER_01]: That's in Los Angeles, and in Stockton, California, decent middle, super middleweight
19:19
[SPEAKER_01]: But I want to talk about what's coming up on December 19th, and that's Jake Paul again, Samtheny, Joshua, and I can't believe Jake Paul is going to go through with this.
19:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm afraid something bad is going to happen.
19:31
[SPEAKER_00]: It's one of those to where if the real Anthony Joshua shows up, you have to be scared for Jake Paul.
19:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Josh was lost fight, he lost it, and the crew, and the breweries, and then
19:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Dubois is probably better fighter than Jake Paul and Rheez, so you don't really know slouch there, but I just can't see Anthony Joshua loose in the Jake Paul.
19:56
[SPEAKER_00]: There's just nothing in me that can even see it being a competitive fight.
20:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I just
20:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Danny Joshua hadn't showed us over Jake Paul.
20:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I've watched majority of Jake Paul's fights.
20:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Even even if he's not a better fighter, he's so powerful, Jake Paul's never seen like this, is good a fighter as he's faced.
20:17
[SPEAKER_01]: He's never faced someone like a top five heavyweight contender.
20:20
[SPEAKER_00]: No, and never he fought with him close.
20:24
[SPEAKER_00]: A 6-year-old Mike Tyson, a 50-year-old Anderson Silva,
20:30
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... he fought a retired who else says uh... chavez who hasn't fought in forever and when he did he was a guy who who didn't have output at a lot of negative things about him so he's always stack the deck in his favor whether it's but each or wait he's never taken on anybody like anthra Joshua who's got size on him and has the skill gap this is a formal world champion multiple bill world champion
20:58
[SPEAKER_00]: and knockout artists and AJ's got big power and both hands and he's a really good punch artist.
21:05
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a really big puncher.
21:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Just go look at the Francis Nagano fight.
21:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Nagano was able to hang in there with Fury.
21:12
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know what Fury he was in there with.
21:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So a lot of people had a lot of false hope for Nagano.
21:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Then Joshua went in there and just destroyed him and two rounds knocked him out cold.
21:21
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a dangerous fight for Jake Paul.
21:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm surprised he's taken it.
21:27
[SPEAKER_00]: If you go in there and Joshua doesn't fight like the Joshua we've seen, you have to come out there thinking that there's something behind the scenes.
21:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, there's nothing in me that thinks Jake Paul can hang with Joshua or even taking any of those punches.
21:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Especially with the way Joshua came out against the Ghana, look at very seriously, he didn't give the Ghana any opportunities to take advantage of him or to land anything that could
21:55
[SPEAKER_00]: He went out there and did what he was supposed to do and got the job done.
21:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And I feel like if he fights at the same way and shake Paul, it'll be a first or second round knockout.
22:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't see how Jake Paul can even compete with Anthony Joshua.
22:08
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a very strange fight.
22:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why Paul took it.
22:12
[SPEAKER_00]: It's one of those to wear is a huge fight for Joshua because if he loses or even doesn't go out there and just starts Jake Paul, there's going to be a lot of questions thrown his way.
22:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a very
22:24
[SPEAKER_00]: weird fight, but it is interesting and not definitely will will tune into it.
22:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I had no interest in the Mike Tyson fight, but this might be something that just be a little bit.
22:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Do we need to remind people that Anthony Joshua knocked out Klitschko and Poveckin and Paul Latvian.
22:42
[SPEAKER_01]: And this guy's like, he turned out not to be quite as good as I thought he was going to be.
22:49
[SPEAKER_01]: But this is a real fighter, man.
22:51
[SPEAKER_00]: He's still the obf and wbo, both still having ranked as the number two heavyweight.
22:55
[SPEAKER_00]: He's no slouch.
22:56
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a real fight for Jake Paul.
22:59
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a very dangerous fight that he's taken.
23:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I know they're using heavier gloves, but it's only 10 ounces compared to eight.
23:07
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's not gonna make a huge difference.
23:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Eight rounds, I don't think the rounds matter because if the real Joshua shows up, it's not going past two or three.
23:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is a,
23:16
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a real scary fire for Jake Paul, and I'm very surprised that he actually took it.
23:21
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I can see why he would have fought some my like tank because he had a 60 pound weight of edge.
23:27
[SPEAKER_00]: So a strong 135 pound puncher is not really going to take the effect on a 200 pound man, but now he's fighting a 250 pound man who is also a strong puncher, which is just a completely different fight.
23:41
[SPEAKER_00]: than what he originally signed up for.
23:43
[SPEAKER_00]: It's super weird, but it's also super interesting.
23:46
[SPEAKER_00]: So it'll be something that I'm sure a lot of people tune into a Friday night.
23:49
[SPEAKER_00]: There's probably a lot of people that's been waiting to see Jake Paul get knocked out.
23:53
[SPEAKER_00]: They beg it their wish.
23:56
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
23:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to diminish Jake Paul because for the way he's done things for what he is a pretty good fighter.
24:07
[SPEAKER_01]: That's hard to deny.
24:12
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really different.
24:14
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people, they're biggest knock on Jake Paul.
24:17
[SPEAKER_00]: They say the only time he fought a real boxer.
24:18
[SPEAKER_00]: He lost him when he fought Tommy Fury.
24:21
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is a real boxer.
24:22
[SPEAKER_00]: He's fighting this time.
24:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is a real fight.
24:24
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see finally how he does on a real fight against a guy who Josh was not, he's probably not in this prime.
24:33
[SPEAKER_00]: But he's not too far from it either.
24:35
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
24:35
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's still very, this is still an Olympian that former heavyweight champion.
24:43
[SPEAKER_01]: good fighter to stand in a cross from Jake Paul, and a guy with aspirations to be the world champion again.
24:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He still got some big fights or front of him if he wants them.
24:53
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why I was saying it's very weird that he took this fight with how bad it could affect him, especially for what he's still trying to know.
25:00
[SPEAKER_00]: He still wants to do the fury fight.
25:02
[SPEAKER_00]: He still has a couple fights he wants.
25:04
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is a fight there.
25:06
[SPEAKER_00]: You got there and you lose to Jake Paul.
25:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you even
25:09
[SPEAKER_00]: like Jake Paul even wins rounds or so I think that a lot of people are going to think he's done.
25:14
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be tough for him to get any big fights.
25:17
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a risky fight for both guys for Joshua, more risky for his career, for Jake, more risky for his life.
25:24
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's it's a risky fight.
25:28
[SPEAKER_01]: And he handsome one of your guys in a way, December 27th and Saudi Arabia taking on Picasso and we'll talk more about that in the next couple of weeks, but your initial thoughts going into that one.
25:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm super pumped for that.
25:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I love watching in a way fight.
25:45
[SPEAKER_00]: He is one of my favorite fighters, the monster knockout artist, a real knockout artist.
25:51
[SPEAKER_00]: He goes in there with bad intentions for every fight.
25:54
[SPEAKER_00]: You'll throw himself into the fire.
25:56
[SPEAKER_00]: We've seen him get dropped in two of his last
25:59
[SPEAKER_00]: and be able to get up and then finish the other guys well, great counter puncher.
26:05
[SPEAKER_00]: But with also being a counter puncher, he's a guy who likes to put pressure on.
26:09
[SPEAKER_00]: He likes to try to suck the punch out of the other guy, so he can't counter.
26:14
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not a guy who lays back and lets you come on him and him try to counter that way.
26:18
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll force the fight and still try to find his counters.
26:21
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a very fun guy to fight.
26:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Koso is ranked number two, but I really don't know what his chances are on this fight.
26:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody knows what this card is set up for.
26:30
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got in a way on there, and then you've got Nakatani on there.
26:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Nakatani's the super ban and weight champion, in a way is the super ban and weight champion.
26:40
[SPEAKER_00]: And we all know that they want both of these guys to win and then the first year next year there's gonna be a huge fight in Japan between in a way and Nakatani.
26:49
[SPEAKER_00]: You got 31 and no one in a way, 31 and no one Nakatani.
26:53
[SPEAKER_00]: They both could potentially be
26:56
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the super fight that everybody's looking forward to.
27:00
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's the whole reason why they put this card on.
27:02
[SPEAKER_00]: They put them on the same card.
27:04
[SPEAKER_00]: They want to draw a little bit more of us to Nakatani.
27:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure too many people are aware how good he is, but they'll be able to see on the 27th because Nakatani is a really good fighter and he's a real threat to in a way when they do meet up at the first of next year.
27:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Hanson has been a lot of fun as always.
27:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's do it again next week.
27:26
