- 1:00you doing what up oh there's a whole lot of fucking
- 1:05boxing to get to so let's dive right right in
- 1:09um usually we start off with a little bit of
- 1:12mma talk but uh there's not there's a lot more
- 1:16going on on the boxing side of the street this
- 1:18week in particular so we'll leave that we'll
- 1:21leave cut that out for this uh this time But
- 1:25ultimate effing casuals, wherever you're listening
- 1:27to this, you could find that there as well. So
- 1:31starting off with some recaps. Motherfucking
- 1:33Matchroom. There's not a whole lot on this card
- 1:37that I really care about. It was just for me,
- 1:40Josh Warrington. That was the only fight that
- 1:43I really cared about. Gets a UD over Asad Asif
- 1:46Khan. The roach lives. Yeah, survived another
- 1:55nuclear strike. Survived a headbutt more dudes
- 2:04another day. And Dalton Smith at the top of the
- 2:09bill gets the UD over Mathieu Germain. I remember
- 2:15this being really unimpressive. I was expecting
- 2:18better out of Dalton Smith. I think it was about
- 2:23like round six or seven. I was like, okay, like
- 2:26you clearly have him outclassed. So why don't
- 2:28you, well, let's go ahead and wrap this up. You
- 2:32really expected Dolan Smith to step it up another
- 2:34notch? I did. Well, at least enough to get rid
- 2:39of Jermaine. Yeah. Well, I'm surprised you guys
- 2:43hold Dolan Smith in a high regard in that nature.
- 2:48I'm not trying to be a contrarian here. Well,
- 2:50if he's at the top of the bill, I expect something.
- 2:53Yeah, especially like Jermaine. I feel like Jermaine's
- 2:57about the same area as guys that he stopped,
- 3:00like Jose Zepeda. Okay. I would rate Zepeda above
- 3:06that, to be honest with you. Yeah, I was going
- 3:08to say, Zepeda's probably a bit above that, actually.
- 3:12Should have been a relatively easy stoppage.
- 3:15Should have been. Yeah. Especially a guy who's
- 3:19already lost twice by stoppage. Hell yeah. That
- 3:24tells you where his power lies. It's 35. Oh,
- 3:30Jermaine is 35? Jermaine is 35 and has been stopped
- 3:34twice before. Yeah, that does tell you, like
- 3:39Alex said, about where if Dalton has power, we've
- 3:44yet to see it, I think. Josh Padley stopped the
- 3:50guy. That's right. His debut as a professional
- 3:56fighter instead of a semi -pro. You see, Dalton?
- 4:03You see how it's done? Josh Padley fucking gave
- 4:06you the blueprint. That's how it's done. I love
- 4:10our weekly Padley mentions. Prince Padley. War
- 4:16Padley. War badly. Yeah, give him that full camp
- 4:21for Shakur. He would kill Shakur with a full
- 4:25camp. No lie. Moving on. Goldenboy at the Frontwave
- 4:34Arena in Oceanside, California. There's only
- 4:37three fights on here that I really cared about,
- 4:39and I have them as Oleksandr Vostik. stops Anthony
- 4:44Holloway in three. This was his cruiserweight
- 4:46debut. I have this mislabeled here. D .C. Dalton.
- 4:55D .C. Dalton. D .C. Dalton. D .C. how you supposed
- 4:58to do it? Charles Conwell drops the ball. Split
- 5:04decision against Jorge Garcia. Ashley drops the
- 5:09ball too. I was surprised. I'm surprised it was
- 5:12that close. It was 115 -113 times two, and then
- 5:19Conwell got a 115 -113. Yeah, that was... Razor
- 5:25-thin margin. The thing with that is that I'm
- 5:29surprised how Golden Boy let him lose. You know,
- 5:32typically they would always... You guys know
- 5:35how the box business is. Yeah, of course. They're
- 5:37going to get the judges on their guy's side.
- 5:39Oh, yeah. I was surprised this time they didn't
- 5:42do that. I mean, that's good. That's good. It
- 5:45keeps the integrity of the sport. You know what
- 5:47I mean? Yeah. I'm more disappointed in Conwell,
- 5:50but... Because, I mean, people are blaming the
- 5:52activity he's had, but, like... Like, you still
- 5:56have to at least, like, win. I'm not even saying
- 6:00convincingly. Hey, Sugar Ray Leonard... Sugar
- 6:03Ray Leonard was retired for three years, and
- 6:04then he fought fucking Hagler and won. Yeah.
- 6:06I don't want to hear about this. None of this
- 6:07inactivity shit. No, he had activity. Like, he
- 6:11fought, like, four times in six months. Oh. Yeah,
- 6:17it was the activity that people were saying,
- 6:19but I'm like, I don't know. I can't, like, it
- 6:23was just not a good performance. No, I don't
- 6:26think it was the activity. They were relatively
- 6:28quick stoppages, weren't they? Yeah. Of course.
- 6:33I don't think it is. Connell's comfy at that
- 6:36weight and everything. It's just... It is what
- 6:39it is. We found out his level. Those four fights
- 6:42in six months, because of how quickly they ended,
- 6:46they kind of cumulatively create one fight. That's
- 6:52all that Conwell had, one fight in six months.
- 6:56Yeah. Sadly. I'm not going to lie. It sucks.
- 7:02I believe in Conwell. Yeah, it sucks that we
- 7:05found his level. But it's okay. Maybe back to
- 7:09drawing board. So we can do different. And then.
- 7:13See if he can squeak at a rematch and then let's
- 7:15see. Yeah, he's not done. No, he's not done.
- 7:18It's just disappointing. He's not done. It wasn't
- 7:22like a Tim's new knockout. Where it's like, oh
- 7:23shit. You're done. Yeah. You're cut. It's like,
- 7:28okay. Somebody's going to improve upon. You know
- 7:29what I mean? Now, the level of opponent he had
- 7:32wasn't very good. That is an issue. What? He
- 7:37can still go back to the drawing board and improve.
- 7:39Send him to Beaumac's gym. Hell, even, what's
- 7:42his name? The Bozianis gym. Ooh, Bozianis. Underrated
- 7:48trainer. And lastly on this one, Gabriela Fandora
- 7:56stops Marilyn Padillo Amaya in seven. Homegirl
- 8:02got a stoppage. Yeah. What do we got to say?
- 8:05That was a great stoppage. Do you see, Dalton?
- 8:07Do you see how you're supposed to do it? Do you
- 8:10see how it's supposed to be done? That's how
- 8:13it's supposed to be done? Yeah, exactly. Make
- 8:14sure that everybody knows this person is not
- 8:17on my level and does not belong in the same ring
- 8:20as me. Amaya tried everything, too. Amaya tried
- 8:29everything. She just could not, like, straight
- 8:32up. yeah she just couldn't yeah she couldn't
- 8:36land anything she kind of gave up a little bit
- 8:39at like fit in the fifth and sixth she's just
- 8:42getting her ass beat right it's like what the
- 8:44fuck am i doing here i i there's nothing i can
- 8:46do you're like save save yourself at that point
- 8:49too that like holy shit my thing with that whole
- 8:54with the whole fight is she was just outclassed
- 8:57in every single aspect She got knocked out. It
- 9:00was kind of hard to watch, honestly. She got
- 9:03the shit kicked out of her and stopped. Full
- 9:05respect to Amaya. It's not like she was bad in
- 9:10any way. She was just slightly worse at everything.
- 9:14Yeah. Exactly, yeah. Just shy of the level. Yeah.
- 9:22One thing I do got to say. No, go ahead. One
- 9:26thing I do got to say with Gabby. is that she
- 9:29does have to be a little more defensively careful,
- 9:31in my opinion. I think she figured out that Marilyn
- 9:35wasn't bringing anything to the table that was
- 9:38going to bother her, so she just kind of let
- 9:40it go. Especially with how she basically beat
- 9:44the fight out of her, too. I understand that,
- 9:47but Munguia also had the same experience. Yeah,
- 9:53I guess. I've been saying, you always got to
- 9:56keep your guard up in boxing. You know what I
- 9:57mean? That's what I was saying. I like when a
- 9:59boxer kind of keeps his guard up and, you know,
- 10:02is always on his defensive timing. Like, you
- 10:04know, Mayweather, a lot of the time. You know
- 10:07what I mean? Yeah. You can get popped at any
- 10:11second. That's all I say. That's all I'm saying.
- 10:15But she did a great performance. Yeah, she did.
- 10:19Very proud. Text me back, Gabby. What's up? All
- 10:25right, Les. Go on. One thing real quick. Because
- 10:28you didn't mention it. I know you said you only
- 10:30cared about three. But there was a fourth I actually
- 10:33did care about watching. Okay. His name's Joshua
- 10:36Thomas. All right. How do you do? The heavyweight.
- 10:39The heavyweight. The Olympic heavyweight boxer.
- 10:43Oh, I remember them mentioning him. I don't recall
- 10:46the fight, though. Well, you got a knockout against
- 10:50a... a big Mexican guy. Like an Andy Ruiz type
- 10:54figure. Except he wasn't like Andy Ruiz at all.
- 10:58He wasn't really that good. You know? At all.
- 11:02But, you know. Still, he's a golden boy, which
- 11:06I was surprised. I honestly thought he would
- 11:08be someone like Mastro or even PBC, but, you
- 11:11know. Top rank is really big on signing Olympians.
- 11:15Top rank, yeah. Even top rank. Well, they have
- 11:18that link up with the U .S. Olympic team, so
- 11:21it's just... I was surprised he was the golden
- 11:28boy. I'm going to be honest. They're not going
- 11:31to have a good career for him. I'm going to be
- 11:33completely honest. He's kind of screwed. As a
- 11:37heavyweight? As a heavyweight? Oh, yeah. Yeah,
- 11:40there's not a whole lot going on for him. They
- 11:42have nobody. They have nobody. Besides, what
- 11:44was that one, the other guy? I know Goldenboy
- 11:49has one heavyweight guy. I think he's a prospect
- 11:52too. But I'm not too sure. I'm not sure who you
- 11:57mean. Alright, anything more for Goldenboy? Alright.
- 12:06Boxer on Sunday, April 20th. Fucking nice. Again,
- 12:15I only picked up three on this one that I really
- 12:18cared about. Sam Eggington gets the doctor stoppage,
- 12:23and I think it was the eighth, and it went to
- 12:27decision, and Eggington got the unanimous decision
- 12:30over Lee Cutler. One day, the nickname I gave
- 12:36him of Hard Boiled is going to stick, but it
- 12:40is not this day. Sorry, I confused him for Ted
- 12:44Cheeseman for a second. Ted Cheeseman? That's
- 12:49a name I haven't heard in a while. Yeah, they
- 12:51did fight each other. Give me some flashbacks.
- 12:55The Big Cheese won. The Big Cheeseman. Frazier
- 13:02Clark stops Ebenezer Teta in the first. Not sure
- 13:09you can take a lot away from... I don't think
- 13:12that there's a lot you can take from first round
- 13:14stoppages other than the opponent was probably
- 13:16dog shit. Hey, this is the guy who took Dillian
- 13:21White seven rounds. You sure did. But that's
- 13:25just Dillian White, though. It is Dillian White.
- 13:28Ghost of Dillian White, yeah. I think I took
- 13:32Andy Ruiz 12. A .K .A. Joseph Parker. I think
- 13:37Frazier Clark is ready for bigger things. Despite
- 13:40the loss. Yeah. I mean, they needed the soft
- 13:45touch, though, after how actually horrific his
- 13:49injuries were. Yeah. Goodness. Those were scary
- 13:52injuries. Speaking of scary, Ben Whitaker. But
- 14:01the refereeing was scary. He gets the stoppage
- 14:06in two over Liam Cameron. The rematch from their
- 14:10controversial draw. It's one of the fakest stoppages
- 14:14I've ever seen. This was horseshit. Absolute
- 14:17horseshit. The legend lives on. Fake fucking
- 14:21stoppage. Give Whitaker Anthony Yard right now.
- 14:27And Ben Whitaker dances all over his ass. Pits
- 14:32gloves. Ref steps in. Fists like water. Fists
- 14:38like flowing water. Fuck, I hope Liam Cameron
- 14:43gets more opportunities, though. I hope that
- 14:47isn't it. They'll throw him back at the rec centers.
- 14:52They probably will, honestly. With Boxer? Boxer's
- 14:57basically the rec center, though. Yeah, exactly.
- 15:01It's not a great promotion to be signed on with.
- 15:05Whatever. The legend continues of... Ben Whittaker.
- 15:12Ben Whittaker. Fuck it, give him yard. Fuck it,
- 15:18give him Benavides. Or Lyndon Arthur. Why not?
- 15:22Fuck no. Actually, you know what? Yeah. There's
- 15:28a lot of good guys, like Craig Richards and Willie
- 15:31Hutchinson. Hutchinson was the one I was trying
- 15:35to think of. But yeah, the meme needs to die.
- 15:42As much as I was enjoying triggering the boxing
- 15:46libs with Ben Whitaker and his little shenanigans,
- 15:50that's two in a row, dog. That's dog shit. Two
- 15:53really shady... stop endings in a row. Yeah.
- 15:59Both of which went in your favor. Even the draw,
- 16:01that went in your favor. That's like best case
- 16:04scenario for your ass. This shit needs to stop
- 16:09now. Ben Quittiker. Ben Quittiker, that's good.
- 16:16It's gotta happen. That's all we have for the
- 16:21recaps. Unless you guys have anything that I
- 16:25missed? Nope. Well, one thing I want to say about
- 16:28Ben Whitaker is I hope he loses the next fight.
- 16:31And if he doesn't lose the next fight, I hope
- 16:33he loses the fight after that. Yeah, you're on
- 16:35hate watch. B -Sides hate watch. I am on a B
- 16:39-Sides hate watch. I'm lying, dude. I really
- 16:41do not like Ben Whitaker. It's not even for him.
- 16:42It's mainly just the damn edits, dude. Those
- 16:46damn edits. Nah, I get it, bro. The Olympics
- 16:49hate watch went crazy. Yeah. Right. Moving into
- 16:58the previews. Just one really quick before we
- 17:01get to the meat of the dish. Guillermo Rigondeaux
- 17:04is fighting. Allegedly. Fighting tomorrow. TBA.
- 17:08Yeah, the legendary TBA. Still don't know who
- 17:11this is. I haven't checked. Matter of fact, while
- 17:14I'm here. I didn't even think it was a venue.
- 17:17It just says Miami. No, it's the Club 11 in Miami.
- 17:21Club 11. Yeah. It's the same place we fought
- 17:24last time. Yeah, Jesus. So he still doesn't have
- 17:28an opponent, and we're one day out from the fight.
- 17:34So take that for what it's worth. Why not? I
- 17:39would honorably watch Jake Paul versus Riggindale.
- 17:43Do you have a 44 -year -old Riggindale? Did Riggindale,
- 17:48like, kick your dog or something? I think that
- 17:52would be funny as hell. Alex's instant pot. Alex's
- 17:54pressure cooker was the one Lent. He let him
- 17:58borrow it. Yeah, Rigo fucking destroyed his pressure
- 18:02cooker. That's why. He actually destroyed my
- 18:04air fryer. He rigged it with a bomb. No, I got
- 18:19it. I did. It was not funny. It was subtle. It
- 18:24was a joke. It was not funny. What next? We're
- 18:32going to break that. Support for this episode

- 21:30buzz, motherfuckers. Right there, because we're
- 21:34going to be spending a lot of time on this weekend.
- 21:40Friday, May 2nd. Let's go. Fatal Fury. Are they
- 21:46calling this Fatal Fury because the game sponsored
- 21:49it or something? You mean they're sponsoring
- 21:52the game? Fatal Fury, City of the Wolves, that
- 21:55Galaxy B -Sides is being sponsored by? Oh, fucking
- 21:58I wish. They're sponsored. I wish... Everybody
- 22:01play Fatal Fury City of the Wolves. I wish Turkey
- 22:06would try to offer me some money so I could tell
- 22:09them to go fuck... Yeah, so let's get into it.
- 22:17Fatal Fury City of the Wolves at Times Square
- 22:20in Manhattan, New York. Really quick, LaVale
- 22:26Whittington versus Reito Tsutsumi. Is Reito some
- 22:31kind of prospect? Like a hot prospect making
- 22:34his debut? No, I'm not sure. Is he a hot prospect?
- 22:39I heard somewhere that there's a really hot Japanese
- 22:44prospect on the Fatal Fury. Let's see. I don't
- 22:51think he's going to be on the New York one. It'll
- 22:54be in Riyadh. I think he's going to be in Riyadh
- 22:57because... Because I think for New York, it's
- 23:01going to be the three fights. I think it's going
- 23:03to be those three fights, right? No, it's only
- 23:07for New York. It's for New York. What? It kicks
- 23:12off the paper. Yeah, this starts the pay -per
- 23:15-view portion. So wait, what are the fights on
- 23:18the letter card? I thought there was only three
- 23:19fights. Here, I got this. I got this. Yeah, no,
- 23:25it's those four. Yep. As far as I know, it's
- 23:28just the four because they're blocking up Times
- 23:30Square. Yeah, there was supposed to be Martin
- 23:34Bacoli and F .A. Jagba on this card, but it fell
- 23:37through. That moved to Riyadh. Yes. Pretty cool
- 23:45to see in Times Square. So, yeah, Lavelle Whittington
- 23:51versus Reito Tsutsumi. That should be, I don't
- 23:54know. Fun. Fine, I guess. We'll see how he does
- 23:59tomorrow. Hope we did good. Devin Haney versus
- 24:03Jose Ramirez. Shanada bets on Ramirez to stop
- 24:10Haney. What? That's crazy. This fight is going
- 24:15to be unwatchable. Wait, get Shanada in here,
- 24:18bro. Come on. She's available right now. Shanada's
- 24:20crazy, though. This fight's going to be so stinky.
- 24:25I think it's a hate bet. Yeah, like Ramirez.
- 24:28I know. Like Ramirez is old, washed, and just
- 24:33decides to turn off sometimes. So he's going
- 24:35to be asleep at the wheel. And Devin Haney is
- 24:38Devin Haney. I disagree. I disagree on some points.
- 24:43I agree that he's washed. I agree he's old. However,
- 24:45I still think he's dangerous. Yeah. I just don't
- 24:49think. Like. I mean, it's just going to be very
- 24:54stinky. And then, like, either Ramirez has some
- 24:59moments or he's so far washed that, like, it's
- 25:04not even fun. It's just going to be a stinky
- 25:10fight. That is my prediction. I agree. Stinky.
- 25:15I was talking with Asis and Red yesterday about...
- 25:20The change to have this fight at full welterweight
- 25:24will be to Ramirez's benefit more so than Devin
- 25:29Haney's. Devin's got no power to gain from moving
- 25:36up. I agree and disagree. Why disagree first?
- 25:44Well, the thing is, I don't necessarily disagree.
- 25:48I just... Don't agree with the fact that you
- 25:50guys say that Haney doesn't gain anything from
- 25:53being at Welterweight. I think he stands to gain
- 25:56maybe a little more durability. Oh, I said that
- 25:59it benefits Ramirez more than Haney. Well, I
- 26:04think they equally benefit each other, in my
- 26:08opinion. Because Ramirez is also not really well
- 26:10known to be a power puncher, per se. No, he's
- 26:15not. Yeah, but... I mean, if you want, like,
- 26:22a power punch like Ryan. Yeah. I just don't think
- 26:26Haney, like, Haney's chin is, like, I'm not using
- 26:29the Ryan fight as the example. I'm using, like,
- 26:32the Linares fight, too. Because, like, Linares
- 26:36didn't even catch him that clean. And we got
- 26:40three rounds of holding. We'll see. We'll see
- 26:47how it is tomorrow. Well, not tomorrow. On Friday.
- 26:51Even Jojo. Jojo Pedro Diaz was touching him up.
- 26:57Wait, wait. Jojo Diaz is a pedophile? He was
- 27:00sexting underage girls. What? Yeah. Pedro Diaz
- 27:06was touching Haney up too. Let's not forget.
- 27:09Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa. I didn't know that
- 27:11shit. What? Yeah. They were like 15 or 16. When
- 27:17was this? It was a while ago. oh my god oh okay
- 27:24i i'm gonna i'm gonna mourn i'm gonna i'm gonna
- 27:26deal with that my own time because that just
- 27:29kind of broke my heart that actually broke my
- 27:31heart right now bro that's crazy that is nuts
- 27:34i never knew that i never did whatever okay um
- 27:38let's continue this yes uh moving up teofimo
- 27:42lopez versus arnold barbosa uh consolidating
- 27:47the wbo super lightweight This depends so much
- 27:53on what version of Teofimo shows up. It really
- 27:58depends on if Teo can do a really good performance
- 28:01like he did with Loma. There's no way. I mean,
- 28:05even Josh Taylor. As long as Joey Gamache is
- 28:09out of his camp, he'll never look that good again.
- 28:12Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm just saying, like, if he
- 28:16comes good mentally, then I think he'll win.
- 28:20If he's still stuck on his, you know, racist,
- 28:23my wife is leaving me for a, for a what? I think.
- 28:28I cuddle my baby Yoda on my air mattress. Yeah.
- 28:32What? Oh, fuck. Okay. That caught me off guard.
- 28:38But yeah, if he's on his crazy shit on Friday,
- 28:41he's cooked. I will say, Barboza also just like.
- 28:47It's fun just because, like, Barboza just kind
- 28:49of doesn't lose, I guess. Like, he's been put
- 28:52up to fail a couple times. He has. And they just...
- 28:59You say he lost as well. He just doesn't. He
- 29:02just doesn't lose. And it's very weird. I still
- 29:08hold the fact that Arnold Barboza lost his fight
- 29:13for two fights. on the Ryan Garcia -Haney undercard.
- 29:19Was that his Golden Boy debut? Oh, that's Sean
- 29:25McComb? Yeah, Sean McComb. Yeah, but he didn't.
- 29:31Not to say the legitimacy of it, but he just
- 29:35doesn't lose, which is weird. Not in a bad way.
- 29:41He just doesn't lose. Honestly, I want to be
- 29:46honest with Armboza, dude. I like the guy, but
- 29:51he just doesn't strike me as entertaining. He's
- 29:54not a power puncher. He's not a particularly
- 29:57good boxer. He just has good volume. Yeah, but
- 30:01he doesn't lose. Yeah, he doesn't lose. I mean,
- 30:04I don't know. That's the main thing I'll give
- 30:06him. He doesn't wow me, you know? I mean, to
- 30:10me, he just seems run -of -the -mill. You know
- 30:12what I mean? Like another Ramirez. Fair. A lot
- 30:18of the same points that we came up with when
- 30:22we did the Spanish language one. Boxing in Espanola's
- 30:25back, bitches. He's just not that special. He
- 30:31just doesn't lose. That's the main thing here.
- 30:36It would be funny as hell to see Teal beat the
- 30:38shit out of him, though. I love the guy, but
- 30:41it would be funny to see Teal actually lock in
- 30:44for once. It's always great to see him lock in.
- 30:48I will not argue with that. I just doubt it'll
- 30:51happen, and Barbosa will probably get, like,
- 30:54either Teofimo locks in, it's fun, or Barbosa,
- 30:59like, just wins. Like, he just wins. There's
- 31:05nothing else to say about it. Let me tell you
- 31:08this. A lock in Teofimo beats the other four
- 31:10princes, in my opinion. Which might be a little
- 31:15bold to say, but he's that good, man, in my opinion.
- 31:18If he locked in. You don't know? You don't think
- 31:21so? The mental shakiness is pretty rough. So
- 31:25that is a bold claim because Teofimo is his own
- 31:29worst enemy. Not necessarily because he lacks
- 31:31the talent. Yeah, like him being locked in is
- 31:36such a like, what if? Because he shows up basically
- 31:39every other fight. At this point. Well, he hasn't
- 31:44shown me shit since Taylor. Yeah, I was about
- 31:48to say, like, he just, like, yeah, like, before
- 31:51Josh Taylor was Lomachenko, so he's, in the past
- 31:54five years, he's had two good performances. Everything
- 31:59else, like, Sandro Martin. He lost to Jermaine.
- 32:02Jermaine Taylor. Jermaine Ortiz. No, Jermaine,
- 32:07not Jermaine Taylor, sorry. Jermaine Ortiz. Steve
- 32:10Claggett. Steve Claggett. That one was embarrassing
- 32:14that it went 12. Yeah, this is sad, man. That
- 32:18is a little sad. That Jermaine Ortiz fight was
- 32:21also, I think, the lowest punch output in a boxing
- 32:25match ever until the Shakur fight, I'm pretty
- 32:27sure, right? No, because there was Rancis Barthelome.
- 32:31Rancis Barthelome has that. Oh, he has that one?
- 32:35I remember they said something about that. Before
- 32:37the Shakur fight, it was Rancis Barthelome. And
- 32:41I forget who the fuck. It was more like the...
- 32:44Let me finally find it. But that's another thing
- 32:49about... Yeah, I think it was Robert Easter Jr.
- 32:54That's nasty. 2019, they fought to a draw. Am
- 33:01I able to go back to Ramirez real quick? Can
- 33:03I say something? Sure. Because Ramirez actually...
- 33:07There's a performance against Bartholomew, dude.
- 33:11That was... You guys remember that, right? That
- 33:13was disgusting. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I mean.
- 33:16I just want to add, I don't know how he went
- 33:18from that to fucking fighting Devin Haney, bro.
- 33:21That's crazy. I just want to say that real quick.
- 33:23Bartholomew. Rancid Bartholomew. Bartholomew.
- 33:27Back to Teopimo. I'll tell you this, dude. A
- 33:29talented, focused Teopimo beats everybody. That
- 33:34kid is... That kid can fight. Talented Teopimo
- 33:37can fight. And it's always the big if with him,
- 33:42though. It's unfortunate. Yeah. We'll never know.
- 33:48Moving up. Ryan Garcia, Raleigh, Romero. This
- 33:54one's for the WBA fucking regular ass title for
- 34:00welterweight. I thought WBA was done with the
- 34:06super and regular titles. But, uh... Well? Fucking
- 34:12fool me once. God damn it. They're gonna introduce
- 34:17a franchise title at some point, I'll tell you.
- 34:19Oh, boy. Another one? More? Be awesome, huh?
- 34:25That fight itself is just... I don't know what's
- 34:27up with Rowley in the WBA. But, man, he's been
- 34:31a lucky dude these past years. Tank. Frickin'...
- 34:35Pitbull. No, not Pitbull. That wasn't luck. Barroso.
- 34:41That one was, like, they gave him some easy shit.
- 34:46Like, dude, he must have some shit on the WBA
- 34:49president, dude. I don't know. I think he can
- 34:52just cut a good promo. Maybe. He makes money.
- 34:57Is he still with us? Like, he's Broner. Yeah,
- 35:00Broner post -Maidana, basically. Basically, yeah.
- 35:05No, Broner is actually good. Broner is actually
- 35:07good, but... Roner versus Rowley. Roner was actually
- 35:12good, but they cut some of their promos. I don't
- 35:17know, man. I wonder, is Rowley still with Al,
- 35:20though? Al Heyman? At least as an advisor. Yeah,
- 35:24maybe as manager. Nah, he's not manager. Advisor.
- 35:30Career advisor. Oh, is that what it is? Because
- 35:34of the Ali Act, they're distinctly different.
- 35:38So he can be a promoter and an advisor, but he
- 35:40can't be his manager and promoter. But he doesn't
- 35:44promote. I thought he had a Tom Brown to do that.
- 35:48Yeah, but he also doesn't manage. He's an advisor.
- 35:53So he's never involved in any... He's not in
- 35:56any position that the Ali -X can... Apply to
- 36:00him, yeah. Yeah. Well, that's... I mean, he does...
- 36:03He doesn't abuse fighters in a way that would
- 36:05cause it to be an issue, but it's still a little
- 36:09sketchy. Yeah, the fight's going to be a little
- 36:14interesting. The ethical shady promoting. Do
- 36:20you want something else? I don't know if this
- 36:24is as crazy, but Shanada also bet on Raleigh.
- 36:30That is crazy. Is that worse? That is worse.
- 36:36At least getting against Kevin Haney is pretty
- 36:39safe. Ryan, he'll spam the fucking garbage shoulder
- 36:44roll and then he'll knock out Roley. There's
- 36:47no other way it goes. Are we going to argue right
- 36:53now? I think we're going to argue. Do you actually
- 36:56think Roley might beat Ryan? Well, no, I don't
- 36:59think that, but you say it like Roley don't got
- 37:02power, though. You're also saying that Ryan doesn't
- 37:05really have a little bit of a chin. I say it
- 37:09that Roley doesn't have the skills to, like,
- 37:11not get clipped before clipping Ryan. Well, I
- 37:17mean, he clipped Tank. I mean, Tank took it,
- 37:20but still. Ryan, in my eyes, has a little bit
- 37:23of a worse chin than Tank. Ryan doesn't have
- 37:25the best chin. You know? With Roley, he's been
- 37:34said to have some pretty good power. You know?
- 37:39And you know what? Honestly, like, again, all
- 37:42it takes is one punch, dude. All it takes is
- 37:44one punch. Yeah. I just think Ryan's going to...
- 37:47Oh, no, for sure. Yeah, Ryan is for sure going
- 37:50to win, in my opinion. But saying that betting
- 37:54on Roley is worse than betting on Ramirez...
- 37:56I think betting on Ramirez is worse than betting
- 37:58on Roley, in my opinion. Oh, man. I mean, I guess
- 38:01it means we have an exciting night ahead of us.
- 38:05We either have a really exciting night or a really
- 38:08boring night. Yeah, I was about to say, like,
- 38:10if Ramirez stops Haney, Lopez shows up in shape,
- 38:14and Ryan beats the fuck out of Roley, amazing
- 38:17night. We can get Roley slowly beating Ryan's
- 38:23ass, Barbosa winning a stinky decision, and Devin
- 38:27Haney winning a stinky decision. I'm going to
- 38:30bed. If Roley beats Ryan, I would bet you a million
- 38:34dollars Ryan's going to go off the deep end.
- 38:36Because I... You already did, though. You can't
- 38:40go... It's below rock bottom, though. Mariana's
- 38:44trench. We can go deeper. Yeah, you can go deeper.
- 38:49You can turn into the fucking taxi driver guy.
- 38:56Yeah, we're going to get Kanye Rance from his
- 39:01Twitter. He already went on Kanye Rance, if anything.
- 39:04He kind of did. Did he? Yeah, do you remember?
- 39:07The racist stuff? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, you're
- 39:12right. Right now, Kanye. Not like the initial
- 39:17Nazi Kanye. He's turning into Ye. He's turning
- 39:21into Ye. He turned into Ye for a little bit.
- 39:23Did you see Rye? Rye, yeah. Rye guy. I mean,
- 39:30to me, honestly, we're joking about it. In all
- 39:33actuality, I honestly think that Rye is healthy
- 39:34right now. Just from the way he talks. He talks
- 39:37a lot. He doesn't have that vice voice, you know
- 39:40what I mean, that he had before for the past
- 39:42two fights. You know what I'm talking about?
- 39:45the vice voice or like he sounds like the scraggly
- 39:48you know like he sounds like he's been drinking
- 39:51all day oh yeah right versus now he sounds like
- 39:55how he did before the tank fight you know i mean
- 39:57he's back on the jesus stuff well back on i don't
- 40:03know he's he's he might actually be on the jesus
- 40:06stuff like legitimately you know i mean because
- 40:10before i mean he was he was doing some crazy
- 40:12shit I don't know if that was about Jesus or
- 40:14if it was about aliens or some shit. He was on
- 40:17something. I'm going with aliens. Yeah, maybe.
- 40:22It might just be aliens. Maybe they kidnapped
- 40:23him. Maybe they replaced him with a clone. Or
- 40:27he was just fucking crazy as hell. I don't know.
- 40:31Anything more for this portion of the Fatal Fury
- 40:33series? I do got to say something about Ryan
- 40:39versus Roley. That if Rowley beats Ryan, dude,
- 40:43I swear, I will go on this pod and see. Actually,
- 40:52no, I'm not going to see that. I'm not going
- 40:54to see that. You don't have to reveal it. If
- 40:58it happens, I'll reveal it. It's nothing bad.
- 40:59It's just very demeaning towards my view as a
- 41:04boxing analyst, which is already in shambles
- 41:07with Conwell. Oh, my God. I'm already done. My
- 41:13credibility's been gone, like, six times. I will
- 41:16basically, like, apologize. What I'm saying is
- 41:18I'm going to apologize to all the people that
- 41:20have called in. Sorry for shitting on you. Yeah.
- 41:25I will kiss their ass. I'll apologize to each
- 41:27and every one of them. If Raleigh beats Ryan,
- 41:31what level of apology do we give Shanada for
- 41:35smashing on the bets? I'm going to come up with
- 41:41so many excuses. We're reaching the end of it.
- 41:49I'm done being wrong. I will never be wrong again.
- 41:53We're in the post -fact era. Yeah, post -fact
- 41:57era. Ryan got drugged by Raleigh. They rubbed
- 42:01crack on his gloves. Does that make Raleigh a
- 42:04pound great? Because Ryan beat Devin and Raleigh
- 42:08beat Ryan. I said, man, just give the winner
- 42:11the boots. Give the winner the boots. So then
- 42:13Pitbull is pound for pound great because he beat
- 42:16Raleigh? And then it's Ryo. Tank agenda is back
- 42:21on the menu. But that means Roach. That means
- 42:25Roach is pound for pound great. Which means Jamal
- 42:28Herring is a pound for pound great. That's goddamn
- 42:30right. That's goddamn right he is. I'm going
- 42:34to stop. All right. Anything more for this portion
- 42:41of Fatal Fury? All right. Fuck Turkey. Yes, I
- 42:47agree with that. ProBucks good. This should have
- 42:50been a ProBucks card. I say that because this
- 42:54should not have been pay -per -view, dog. That's
- 42:56true, actually. I don't want to pay $90 for this
- 42:58bullshit. Bro, on DAZN? I just checked yesterday,
- 43:05and it's like $115. Just for the Canelo one.
- 43:11Just the shitty one, too. Just the Canelo card
- 43:14is $115. How much is the right one? I didn't
- 43:18check. That's crazy, because Canelo is always
- 43:22been $89. Right, they've always been $89. But
- 43:26maybe I misread it, and it's actually both. I
- 43:28don't know. I can check. You know what, man?
- 43:31My plane ticket to Japan would cost just as much.
- 43:34So, fuck this. Well, y 'all are here. I can't
- 43:41say the words. What do you mean? We paid for
- 43:42all the dancing on this one. Yeah. On this show.
- 43:45Right. So, it's a lot of money, but I'm so happy.
- 43:50That I get to pay for this? Yeah, I love you.
- 43:51We get to pay. Thank you. I'm so happy that I
- 43:55get to pay $115 for fucking Canelo Skull. Yeah,
- 44:00no, I'm not happy about that. And I'm not talking
- 44:06about that because it's going to make me more
- 44:07pissed. All right, so Canelo Skull. Oh, okay.
- 44:12I misread it. It's $90 for both. And that was
- 44:19$115 for me because I had to pay my next month
- 44:25of subscription. That's so wonderful. I know.
- 44:31Thank you so much. Here's the thing. It's on
- 44:34sale right now. It's $120 for both. Oh, fuck.
- 44:39But it's on sale right now. It's on sale. We're
- 44:44in Fight Week and we're still on sale. It's a
- 44:48little unusual, but... Yeah, I'm not even surprised.
- 44:53I'm just looking at William's skull highlights
- 44:55right now. I'm so excited. There's not a lot
- 44:59of them. I'm so excited. This is like as long
- 45:04as the Avni Yildirim highlight reel. It is better
- 45:07or worse than Avni Yildirim as a fight. All right,
- 45:12let me go into the card here. Marco Verde versus
- 45:16Michel Galvan -Polina, six -round middleweights.
- 45:21Brian Leon versus Aaron Rocha -Guerrero, 10 -round
- 45:25light heavies. Martin Bacoli versus Efe Adjagba,
- 45:2810 -round heavies. Yes, this one's good. Absolutely.
- 45:34I'm thinking Bacoli takes it just because he's
- 45:36more well -rounded. Adjagba kind of does suck.
- 45:41He spams the one -two. He's Deontay Wilder 2
- 45:46.0. He had the Rob Guido Vianello, my boy. Moving
- 45:54up, Jaime Munguia, Bruno Serras. Rematch. This
- 46:00is what I'm excited for. Inject the same result
- 46:04into my veins. Just to get the exact same result.
- 46:10The same fight. As much as you want it, that's
- 46:15not going to happen. Munguia's going to kill
- 46:18him. I believe in Munguia. Yeah, Munguia won't
- 46:22fuck around for six rounds. I'm a Munguia stan.
- 46:27I know it's kind of controversial to say nowadays,
- 46:29but I'm a Munguia stan. Listen, man, if Munguia
- 46:32has done any cardio, has gotten his cardio up,
- 46:37we good. If Munguia still has got his mouth open
- 46:41at the end of round one, and he's been working
- 46:45with uh the reynoso gym so that's pretty he's
- 46:51worked with i think he had abel sanchez and eric
- 46:54morales and none of that like his cardio just
- 46:59keeps getting worse he has gotten better way
- 47:02better he's used definitely one of those project
- 47:04guys like a long -term project guy but like Fuck,
- 47:10his cardio is so bad nowadays that... Well, hopefully
- 47:16after this fight, if he wins, he gets an even
- 47:19better fight. Something like with one of the
- 47:23other 168 guys, like Caleb Plant or Berlanga.
- 47:26I think it'll be Berlanga. It's not going to
- 47:29be Caleb Plant. Or it might just be Hamza Shiraz,
- 47:32bro. Hamza Shiraz. I'm longer versus your ass,
- 47:38dude. Maybe William Scull looks good enough.
- 47:43You never know. He could. He could surprise.
- 47:47My boy, William Scull with the highlights of
- 47:56some time. Shades of Ali. Shades of Ali. Cruiser
- 48:05Ali, fuck. Moving up, Badu Jack versus Norair
- 48:10Mikaelian. Badu has the interim WBC Cruiserweight
- 48:15Championship, and Mikaelian is the full champ,
- 48:21so consolidation. Those are always good in my
- 48:24book. Fucking finally going to find out what
- 48:28the WBC champ is about. Whoever it is, we're
- 48:32going to see. Do you actually fit in as the third
- 48:37in the trio when we have Obataya and Ramirez?
- 48:43Man, Bado Jack's the chicken. Bado Jack. Still
- 48:48a good fighter. Honestly, that fight with the
- 48:51cub was hilarious. Why was it hilarious? Like,
- 48:57I haven't seen Bado Jack have meaningful power
- 49:00in a while. In a while. You mean ever? Good guys.
- 49:06He did at 175 and 168. Yeah, but I was like,
- 49:11I'm like, damn. That was a long time ago. Was
- 49:14that really power? Or was that just all right?
- 49:22Oh, Macabre was old and washed. It was never
- 49:25that good. But it was still pretty funny. I think
- 49:31maybe he just fought a ship of competition. I
- 49:33didn't see that one. The entertainment value
- 49:37is also important. If I have fun watching it,
- 49:42it's more worthwhile than all Shakur Stevenson
- 49:47fights. Well, you're also a fucking psychopath,
- 49:50Josh. Yeah, because I actually said that. I was
- 49:55about to say we're on a boxing podcast talking
- 49:57about Badu Jack and Ilunga Makavu. We do not
- 50:05represent all of the boxing community. We're
- 50:08kind of just nuts. We can watch a Shakur Stevenson
- 50:11fight for better or for worse. We can. Can? I
- 50:15can. Am I going to be happy about it? Not really.
- 50:19No. The chat will be more fun than the fight.
- 50:24It's usually how it goes. Shakur Stevenson versus
- 50:27Josh Pedley was unironically the most exciting
- 50:29Shakur fight in years. And I think that's only
- 50:31because of Padley. It's only because Padley stinks.
- 50:36No, no, do not say that. Do not say that. Prince
- 50:40Padley. Padley. Sorry, I mean, stinks as in,
- 50:44like, the musk of success. Yeah, exactly. The
- 50:49musk of success in being a hard blue -collar
- 50:53worker that disconcerted Shakur. In this podcast,
- 50:59we do not speak ill of my sweet little Prince
- 51:01Probox Padley. Oh, boy. Which is what you'll
- 51:06be ending up on soon. If he fucks up with Matt.
- 51:10Anyways. Yeah. One more on this one. Motherfucking
- 51:15Canelo versus William Skull. William Skull may
- 51:20have the IBF title on a technicality, but to
- 51:23me... It's not this shitting. This isn't, like,
- 51:27for double undisputed. Two -time undisputed.
- 51:31That's not what this is. I don't think so, anyway.
- 51:34This is, like, about as bad as Berlanka and Munguia
- 51:38were as opponents. Well, isn't it worse than
- 51:41Yildirim? Well, Yildirim, they forced them to.
- 51:45I mean, it's the fight itself. Is it worse, better
- 51:48or worse fighting Yildirim? Or Rocky Field? I
- 51:52say it's the worst just because Canelo isn't
- 51:54stopping these scrubs anymore. Yeah, that's true.
- 51:58I doubt he can stop them. He can. He totally
- 52:02carried Wingia and Berlanga. He's not going to
- 52:06stop Skol, though. He's not. He just keeps these
- 52:11scrubs standing for no reason. Honestly, he just
- 52:16turned heel a long time ago. It's kind of sad
- 52:18to watch. I can't even. wouldn't it be less work?
- 52:23Like, if I were Canelo and I wanted to work less
- 52:26for more money, wouldn't it be less work to just
- 52:28stop the guy? Yeah, I mean, yeah. And you'd probably
- 52:31make more money in return because you're stopping
- 52:33the guy. Yeah. That raises your value. Exactly.
- 52:38He's fucking fighting in rehab where none of
- 52:39his fans are at. That's pretty sad. Yeah. I was
- 52:43gonna say, I'm like, I'm like, how hype would
- 52:46it be to, like, knock out fucking scrub John
- 52:49Ryder instead of carrying him for 12 rounds and
- 52:52beating him 12 -0. Sorry, 13 -0 because Ryder
- 52:56was down. Yeah, I don't know. You never know
- 53:00with Canelo anymore. One thing you do know is
- 53:04that you're not going to knock anybody out, but
- 53:05he's just in his money face. Pepe, Pepe, you
- 53:11want Pepe? I know that. Man, oh well. Hopefully
- 53:16with William Scull, we get after William Scull.
- 53:21I said the same thing after Berlanga. I said
- 53:25the same thing after Munguia. I said the same
- 53:27thing after Ryder. I said the same thing after
- 53:29G. If it's Crawford, I won't be mad. That's what
- 53:34I want. I do want a chance Crawford super fight.
- 53:37I want to see Crawford get eviscerated, but it's
- 53:43still not going to be interesting. We'll talk
- 53:46about that fight when the fight comes up in the
- 53:49future podcast. Because I do not like what you
- 53:53just said right there. Yeah. Dennis Crawford
- 53:56is not going to get eviscerated, buddy. He's
- 53:58beating Canelo. No. No way. Unless Canelo forgets
- 54:06how to box overnight and ain't happening. Doubtful.
- 54:10We'll cross that hill when we get to it. People
- 54:16who are calling in, tell me why I'm wrong. Now
- 54:20we'll save the call -ins for when that fight's
- 54:24actually happening. Yep. So Canelo versus William
- 54:31Skull. Fucking technicality that William Skull
- 54:36is a champion at all. When I was talking with
- 54:43Asus and Red about it, it was, I introduced it,
- 54:48and then I said, I'm not entirely sure what to
- 54:50say about this. And then it was just dead air
- 54:54for like 30 seconds. And then Red jumps in with
- 54:59like, the silence says everything. I don't know
- 55:03what to say about this fight. It's fucking garbage.
- 55:05Fortunately, the card looks pretty good. I disagree.
- 55:09The card's kind of ass. You think so? The only
- 55:11one that's good... What was good is the day before.
- 55:14That's good. The only reason why they're charging
- 55:16so much pay -per -view is because it's a fucking
- 55:17Canelo card. Of course. And people are going
- 55:20to buy it because it's Canelo. The undercard
- 55:22is at least passable. Like, this isn't as rancid
- 55:25as, like... There have been some pretty fucking
- 55:27rancid Canelo undercards. Yeah. But for a real
- 55:32season card, though? You know what I mean? Yeah.
- 55:36I guess. They usually go out loud. Yeah, that's
- 55:40true. And for Canelo too, it's like, it's this,
- 55:43I don't know, you would expect a better car than
- 55:46this. You would expect more Mexicans, I'll tell
- 55:48you that. Yeah. Not like Bado Jack and Marbacoli.
- 55:52You know what I mean? Yeah. I bet you have version
- 55:55where Hey man, Bado Jack needs his biannual payday.
- 56:00Gotta restock. Yeah. He needs his biannual payday.
- 56:04This is buying you paid. You're right. Gary Russell.
- 56:08This institution. You're right. You're right.
- 56:13He's getting paid now. We're all falling for
- 56:15it. Except us, because we're going to be... Well,
- 56:17I can't say it in the air. I'm going to be enjoying
- 56:20it fully. Thoroughly. Oh, yeah. Yeah, me too,
- 56:26man. It's going to be a good time. Sunday. Moving
- 56:30on to Sunday. Sunday, Sunday. On ESPN, this one's
- 56:36just top rank. It's Inoue versus Cardenas. I
- 56:44care because of what's next. What do you mean?
- 56:50Nakatani. Oh, right. I care because of what's
- 56:54next. But otherwise, I don't care. Well, this
- 56:59fight, yeah, this fight's not great. It's not
- 57:02really a secret. Well, it's not Canelo's goal.
- 57:06Bad. It's not that bad, true. Canelo's goal has
- 57:10a whole storyline of why it's bad. Cardenas is
- 57:13at least like a somewhat worthy challenger. Just
- 57:17not anyway. To a world title in the division?
- 57:19Absolutely. Not anyway. Better than Goodman.
- 57:22Better than Doheny. In my opinion. Better than
- 57:26Butler. Picasso. Yeah. Picasso, yeah. Way better
- 57:30than Picasso. He was better than Paul Butler.
- 57:36What's his name? Neary? Well, this is not better
- 57:39than Neary, but still. Yeah. Let's get the card
- 57:46in. Rais Alim versus TBA. We are like a week
- 57:55out. That's not good. Not a good sign. Maybe?
- 58:03Maybe Guillermo shows up. Maybe. Moving up. Art
- 58:13Barrera Jr. vs. Juan Carlos Guerra. Six rounds
- 58:17at junior middleweight. Mikito Nakano vs. Pedro
- 58:22Marquez. Ten rounds at feather. Another TBA.
- 58:26Emiliano Vargas does not have an opponent. 8
- 58:30rounds at 140. It's probably going to end up
- 58:33being like 6 rounds. Just because of who they
- 58:36have to get. Yeah. Watch it be Giovanni Cabrera.
- 58:40Watch it be Abdullah Mason. Abdullah Mason shows
- 58:45up. That would be crazy. Fabian Maidana still
- 58:47fighting? Yeah. Versus Rohan Polanco. That's
- 58:53actually crazy. I'm expecting a beat down here.
- 58:57To be honest with you. Mario Barrios fought Fabian
- 59:00last time, right? It was recent. I know. I recall
- 59:08that much. Yeah, I think it was last year. Yeah.
- 59:13Hey, we can go. Rafael Espinosa, WBO featherweight
- 59:19champ versus Edward Vasquez. Vasquez was beaten
- 59:23by Ray Ford and shit. I lost it. Ray Ford and
- 59:35Joe Cordina. That's who it was. Cordina. Espinoza
- 59:43probably I think this is a showcase fight and
- 59:46they're trying to trying to set up some talk
- 59:51about Inouye versus Espinoza. Yeah. That's not
- 59:58going to happen for a while though. I hope not.
- 1:00:01Imagine that's the next fight. Imagine it's that
- 1:00:05Nakatani one considering it's Espinosa. Espinosa.
- 1:00:09Oh, man. I don't mind the fight, but it's not
- 1:00:15Nakatani, you know? Honestly, it's probably going
- 1:00:19to be Espinosa next to prepare for Nakatani.
- 1:00:21It's a great fight, but it's not the best fight,
- 1:00:24you know? Yeah. Yeah. I want the Japanese Super
- 1:00:28Bowl. Yeah, like, come on, bro. I want to go
- 1:00:31to Japan and watch that shit live. Getting tickets
- 1:00:36is pretty difficult. Yeah. We need to obtain
- 1:00:42the press pass. Yeah, if I can find out who the
- 1:00:45fucking points of contact are. I'll try. I don't
- 1:00:54know. I don't have names. If I knew who to badger,
- 1:00:56I would. Go straight to Arum. Take it to Arum.
- 1:01:03Oh, right. I could do that. Right. Inouye Cardenas,
- 1:01:08do you think this is better than Skull Canelo?
- 1:01:16Yes. Like 10 times better. Damn. I wasn't sure.
- 1:01:22There's no way this is not better. Cardenas is
- 1:01:24like, he's an actually worthy -ish. challenger
- 1:01:29to the titles in that weight class it's just
- 1:01:31not in a way right okay that's yeah skull doesn't
- 1:01:36even belong near a super middleweight title i
- 1:01:40spent and not canelo he doesn't even belong near
- 1:01:44but along and that's saying something like skull
- 1:01:47skull's highlights look like uh like mario casas
- 1:01:52highlights The thing with Skull is that typically
- 1:01:58I would always root for the underdog. Man, it's
- 1:02:00Skull, bro. And it's Canelo. It's so hard. It's
- 1:02:04so hard, bro. I saw the fight announced and I
- 1:02:06put the Skull emoji in chat. I just felt like
- 1:02:10that. Horrible. It's a good fight. You'll be
- 1:02:17entertained. You will sure be entertained. True.
- 1:02:21Okay, that's fair. But there's not a whole lot
- 1:02:25to say. I'm hopeful that Gardenas will give a
- 1:02:30good show, but I'm not holding my breath. We'll
- 1:02:36see what happens. Yeah, with William Scull, though,
- 1:02:39I'm just completely resigned to fucking misery.
- 1:02:44I'm only watching that just to not miss it. That's
- 1:02:50it. Yeah, we kind of have to. Yeah. I have to
- 1:02:54watch it. It's a Canelo fight. It's a professional
- 1:02:56obligation. If we watch pro box cars, we have
- 1:03:00to watch a Williams goal fight. Hey, hey, hey.
- 1:03:03I'd much rather watch a pro box car. I have to
- 1:03:06say, we watch pro box for the love in our hearts.
- 1:03:08Yeah. Yeah. It's not so much. I mean, Espinosa's
- 1:03:14cool. I like him. True, actually. Inouye's cool
- 1:03:20and gonna put this guy out the pasture. Yeah.
- 1:03:25It's funny how Canelo's not even the biggest,
- 1:03:27like, the best fighter in the damn weekend. It's
- 1:03:31funny how probably the best fighter in the whole
- 1:03:33weekend is the headliner is not really even a
- 1:03:37Mexican. It's Inouye. Inouye's the man. Like,
- 1:03:42Inouye's the best fighter. I think the best fight
- 1:03:44that got put together headlining was Garcia and
- 1:03:48Romero. It's like they could totally also just
- 1:03:52fight like crackheads. Yeah. That would be fun.
- 1:03:57And it's not impossible. Romero already looks
- 1:04:01like he's on fentanyl whenever he steps in the
- 1:04:04ring. Jesus Christ. What the fuck? That's crazy.
- 1:04:09That's nuts. You know what? It speaks to the
- 1:04:11tango, though. But that's all we got. Anything
- 1:04:17more for... Top rank in a way. I don't really
- 1:04:21know. All right. You've been listening to The

- 1:06:11Anyway, parting words. What do we got? Let's
- 1:06:16go Rolly Romero. Sorry. Yeah, my picks. My picks.
- 1:06:22Romero. No, not Romero. My picks are Romero to
- 1:06:25die, Lopez, and fuck it, let's go Devin Haney.
- 1:06:34Okay. Okay. What else? My picks are Devin Haney,
- 1:06:41Gil Pimo, and Ryan, of course. I want, as much
- 1:06:48as I love Canelo, it would be the funniest thing
- 1:06:49in the world to watch him lose. Lose like McGee
- 1:06:53loses against Raz, bro. Yeah. Something like
- 1:06:56that. It would be funny as hell. That's not going
- 1:07:00to happen, but it would be funny. I want McGee
- 1:07:02to win, and then let's go anyway. Let's have
- 1:07:06a good weekend of boxing. All right. You guys
- 1:07:10take care. That's it. What are your picks? 833
