This shit ain't nothing to me, man. This is Boxing
0:03
Before Dark. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Back. Back.
0:06
Back. Back. Before. Before. Before. Before. Boxing.
0:12
Boxing. Boxing. Boxing Before Dark. This is Boxing
0:15
Before Dark. Boxing Before Dark. I can't wait
0:26
for it to get dark. I'm a little sleepy at the
0:29
moment. No time for sleep today, Leo. No time.
0:35
No, I still got more fucking schoolwork to fucking
0:39
catch up on. God. This is why I didn't go to
0:43
college in the fucking first place. Because I
0:46
didn't want to have to do stuff like this. Fortunately,
0:50
I'm almost caught up. But still. Oh, man. It's
0:56
Leo, your boy. And I'm joined by Shanada. You
1:01
all can't see it, but she's wearing official
1:03
merch. I am. Shop .lvx .be. Go get yourself some
1:09
threads. Some of the t -shirts are pretty nice,
1:14
actually. They do fit a little smaller than most
1:18
brands. Really? Mine... They ran a little big.
1:24
Oh. I think it depends on, because it's different
1:29
suppliers depending on where you are in the world.
1:33
Oh, maybe I got Asian sizes. Yeah, I think so.
1:38
That's unfortunate for me. I am not Asian sized.
1:44
You know what else isn't Asian sized? Manny Pacquiao's
1:48
calves. What a beautiful fucking segue to save.
1:54
Manny Pacquiao vs. Mario Barrios. It's officially
1:57
official. What the fuck? I know I've gone on
2:01
this rant, but what the fuck? There's a date.
2:04
I believe there's a venue. There's a co -main
2:09
set. I think Fundora, Tim Zhu is going to be
2:13
the co -main to that. I don't know. What more
2:19
do you want? what what the hell more do you want
2:22
everyone holds you up as eight division champion
2:25
my scruples notwithstanding well he's out of
2:30
money again oh you think that's what it is i
2:32
think he's given away all his money again yeah
2:35
oh shit that's right he does do that he's been
2:38
building entire neighborhoods and schools and
2:42
hospitals and he gives it away in a very nice
2:45
way but i think i think man he's broke again
2:49
And he's also still running for political office.
2:54
I think he's running for his re -election right
2:57
now. Is he? Yeah, I believe so. And the election
3:02
happens a few weeks before the fight. Like two
3:08
or three weeks. So there was a question in the
3:11
Discord about if he's going to be able to have
3:14
a full camp because he's campaigning. I expect
3:19
he runs on name value. And that's pretty much
3:22
it. According to Wikipedia, it's actually this
3:28
week. Oh, shit. Okay, then. Yeah, never mind.
3:34
That's a non -factor. I think part of why they
3:37
delayed it a little bit was because of the Senate
3:40
election. Oh, they delayed the Pacquiao -Barrios
3:45
fight? Yeah. Well, the signing. I see. Okay.
3:49
Well... His... He may be really nice with building
3:54
neighborhoods and stuff, but his politics aren't
3:57
very nice. No. You either die the hero or you
4:02
live long enough to become the villain. Manny
4:05
is too religious to be in politics. Yeah, he's
4:08
a Catholic fundamentalist or born -again Christian
4:13
fundamentalist or something. He's a... Hardliner,
4:17
for sure. Yeah. But I suppose if you build houses
4:24
for thousands of people, they'd feel like assholes
4:26
if they don't elect you, so... Yeah, he is a
4:29
man of the people. Just, I guess it depends on
4:33
what kind of people. Yeah. Just don't be gay.
4:37
Yeah, pretty much. Man, I remember that happening
4:40
when he... Some press conference, he's like...
4:45
gay people or LGBT people are lower than animals
4:49
and he lost all of his sponsorships except for
4:54
like the Filipino ones that was which is probably
4:58
why he's broke could be if Manny kept his religion
5:05
more to himself he wouldn't have to fight to
5:10
make money he could be just like commercials
5:14
around the world famous. Yeah, before that press
5:20
conference. And it wasn't an immediate reaction
5:23
where everyone dropped him. They kind of gave
5:25
him a shot. Like, yeah, do you want to maybe
5:28
walk that one back? And then he said, I'm sorry
5:31
that you all don't feel the same way. I'm sorry
5:35
that you don't understand that this is the way
5:38
things are. Yeah, I'm sorry you're all going
5:41
to hell. Yep. There's no love, or there's no
5:46
hate like Christian love. Yeah. That's a good
5:50
one. But, as far as the fight goes, Pacquiao's
5:54
too fucking old. Like, Barrios wins this, I think,
5:59
and it's gonna make me sad. It's gonna make me
6:02
really sad. Pacquiao had an exhibition, didn't
6:07
he? Not too long ago? Yeah, he was in Japan.
6:11
He looked like absolute ass, and he was getting
6:14
beat by a kickboxer or something. It was the
6:19
Ryzen guy, wasn't it? Yeah, I know it was a Ryzen
6:22
card that he was on, but losing to a kickboxer,
6:27
dude. What is happening? Barrios wins this. Pretty
6:35
sure. Or he should win this, I guess. Yeah, puncher's
6:41
chance or whatever, and it's really shitty that
6:44
that's what we're reducing Manny Pacquiao to,
6:46
is puncher's chance. But he's just, he's too
6:50
old. Right, he's mid -40s. Best days are long
6:56
gone, unless he gets back on the magic shakes,
6:59
the mystery drinks. I don't think that'll even
7:03
help him anymore. I mean, it'll help, but it's
7:06
not gonna fix it. Yeah, agility. I don't think
7:11
that'll come back. That's athleticism. Well,
7:18
and I don't know what kind of chin Pacquiao has
7:21
anymore. That kind of goes with age. But Barrios
7:29
isn't like a power threat. No, but Pacquiao's
7:34
not an agent. He's been knocked out bad a couple
7:39
times. So Mario Barrios is... His punches are
7:46
individual straws. And then Pacquiao's chin is
7:51
the camel's back. And we're just going to see...
7:54
We're going to see which one does it. If he can
7:57
do it. Well, I also heard rumors, and they are
8:01
just rumors, that they wanted to have the fight
8:04
somewhere else and Pacquiao couldn't get a medical
8:06
pass. So that's why it's ended up in, is it Nevada?
8:11
That's a little... A little bit more lax. Yeah,
8:16
yeah. That's why it's ended up in Vegas, partly.
8:19
I mean, Vegas is a big boxing place and stuff
8:22
too, but Pacquiao had to go around to get his
8:26
medical... Oh, the same way Mike Tyson had to
8:33
shop around for his as well. If that's the stage
8:38
that you're at, where you're having to look at
8:43
different venues in different states to see who
8:46
will sanction your fight... Hang them up. Yeah,
8:50
it's time to call it quits, homeboy. Again, I
8:54
don't know if that one's actually true, but I
8:56
heard rumors. At this age, I can see why they...
9:02
I feel like there's some validity to that. But...
9:10
Man, that fight is cursed. And I don't see the
9:17
point of letting Pacquiao have a shot. So, say
9:20
he wins it. He gets his ass kicked by anyone
9:22
else that's a title holder. Like, absolutely
9:25
destroyed. And if he loses, we're back where
9:29
we started. There is no point to this fight.
9:34
It doesn't accomplish anything. The only thing
9:39
it does do is for a certain broader section of
9:45
the fanbase, they'll just see Pacquiao on...
9:48
Barrios his resume and then just say oh he beat
9:52
Pacquiao holy shit he must be amazing in fucking
9:54
2025 like stupidest fight of the year by far
10:00
but actually you know you know what else was
10:05
fucking stupid Connor Bent and his always his
10:09
the ways that he decides to spend his money um
10:14
I mean who am I To count somebody else's cash.
10:19
Fucking can't be me, but still. The 500 ,000
10:27
pound or dollar? Regardless. I think pound. The
10:32
half a million penalty for Chris Eubank being
10:37
.05 over. God, that still fucking gets me. .05.
10:44
People get away with more. Oh, they had, yeah.
10:50
Yeah, that's rough. It's a fucking bad break,
10:54
man. Go jack off. One little spooge, that'll
11:04
get you right under. .05? Yeah. But Conor Benn
11:11
buys a Rolls Royce. That was all tricked out.
11:16
So, congratulations. It was an extra 500k, so...
11:22
I mean, that's a big bonus. Yeah, you didn't
11:26
dip into the purse for it. I could find better
11:29
things to buy, but I guess... I would probably
11:33
pull a Manny Pacquiao and, like, fix up a school
11:36
or something. Yeah. I have all this free money.
11:40
What do I do with it? I don't need it. I have
11:43
plenty from the purse. i don't really need this
11:46
time to go do stuff or start a scholarship fund
11:52
or something yeah um boxing i wonder i wonder
12:00
if he got it painted black with uh destroyer
12:05
along the side like his shorts let's see if this
12:09
article that'd be kind of cool actually not seeing
12:13
a picture of it Probably not. That would be too
12:16
cool for Connor Ben. No, it's white. He bought
12:21
a white one. Nobody. Oh, apparently he has a
12:28
car collection. This is one of his things. So
12:33
maybe this is a different Rolls Royce. No, he
12:37
bought a white Rolls Royce with this money. Yep.
12:40
280 ,000 pounds. Yeah. That's quite. car i don't
12:48
like white cars i don't like white cars either
12:51
but i if if i could get one i would but i just
12:57
know his white he has a white convertible porsche
13:02
with a red soft top that looks pretty good actually
13:06
I would hope that the seats, the interior is
13:09
red too. It has to be. That's just fucking sexy
13:13
as all hell. I do like soft tops. But yeah, this
13:18
white Rolls Royce he bought is generic as fuck.
13:21
I don't even like Rolls Royces. They look like
13:24
square boxes. Anyways, Connor Ben's an asshole.
13:28
Yeah, he is, isn't he? but yeah that's anybody
13:34
who has a car collection that is all modern cars
13:38
extra douchey i like can only think that if you
13:44
were doing it with i don't know like sports cars
13:49
or like super cars like you have like a mclaren
13:52
and the lamborghini and the ferrari no i'm i'm
13:57
still gonna stand by it you need at least a few
13:59
classic ones tossed in there All brand new modern
14:03
cars just means you don't know how to fix a car.
14:07
If all of your supercars are under warranty,
14:10
it's lame. But if you buy it, if you're like
14:14
a boxer, you got 500k to throw around, I would
14:19
buy it fully restored. I'm not gonna restore
14:24
it myself. Well, yeah, but... It still means
14:28
that you're scared it's going to break down on
14:30
the road and you won't be able to get it running
14:32
again. Totter Ben definitely calls tow trucks.
14:38
I bet you he doesn't even open the hood. He just,
14:42
yep, my car won't start. Where to open the hood?
14:47
Google. Rolls Royce, fucking whatever, Phantom.
14:51
Hood latch. Yeah, where's the button to open
14:56
the hood? Anyways, I think modern car collecting
15:00
is kind of lame. Personally. And Connor Ben's
15:05
an asshole. What kind of car would you... Number
15:08
one purchase. You get the extra 500k. What's
15:12
the one you're getting? Me? Yeah. But all mine
15:15
are ones I could realistically buy now. I don't
15:20
have super expensive tasting cars. There's a
15:23
very specific... Older Mustang. I want it in
15:28
forest green with a tan soft top. But I forget
15:32
what year. We've got to move off the car conversation.
15:44
Yeah, that's probably all getting cut. Nah, not
15:47
all of it. What we'll cap it off with is, besides
15:51
the Chevelle, I'm going to cut the whole story
15:53
if you want to hear it. You already know where
15:55
you got to go. It's Patreon. Back to boxing.
16:00
My dream personal project that I would want to
16:04
do myself is a VW bus. Nice. I would want to
16:09
do the whole thing myself. Unlimited money. I
16:13
would pay somebody to make me a hydraulic lowrider.
16:16
It would have the ugliest fucking paint job.
16:19
It would lift. It would drop. Would it bounce?
16:23
Fuck yes, it would bounce. I would have the most
16:27
ghetto fucking lowrider you've ever seen with
16:31
the spinning rims. An El Camino. Lowrider El
16:36
Camino. I am. When it comes to cars, I most definitely
16:40
am. Alright. Moving into the times. What is it?
16:50
Fatal Fury. City of the Wolves. I'm still not
16:55
sure. Was this called City of the Wolves because
16:59
of the game? Yes. Okay, so the game company sponsored
17:04
the events to be named City of the Wolves. Okay,
17:08
got it. I'm pretty sure Fatal Fury is the franchise
17:12
and then City of Wolves is the game that's coming
17:15
out. I see. Well, so starting from the bottom
17:19
of the Times Square card. It was Reito Tsutsumi
17:24
versus Lavelle Whittington. Possibly the most
17:29
exciting fight of the entire fucking night. Yeah,
17:32
I think. You're right. And that's not good. No,
17:37
that's a really low bar to set. And none of the
17:43
fights clear it. To his credit, Lavelle Whittington...
17:48
did not show up to just lay down despite this
17:51
being like a hot prospect coming out of Japan.
17:55
He's connected to the right people. And he's
17:59
an amateur standout. He didn't crack under pressure.
18:04
He gave him a good fight. He gave him good work.
18:06
So Tsutsumi really showed out. So it was a great
18:09
fight. Yeah, Japan saved. Cinco de Mayo weekend
18:16
somehow. Oh, they did, didn't they? Looking at
18:20
the rest of it. The rest of this card. So the
18:24
Tsutsumi fight was what it was. Like, it was
18:29
exciting enough. It's a debutant. Yeah, yeah.
18:32
So you can't expect too much. But the rest of
18:36
this card was hot fucking dog shit. Like, those
18:40
poop bag... garbage cans at the dog run in august
18:45
this card sucked gross everything about it sucked
18:49
well and they just lied to people saying you
18:53
could come to times square and watch it like
18:55
one of our friends went he flew to new york and
19:00
you couldn't see anything they put up the big
19:03
fences to keep people out yeah and all they had
19:07
was like two screens across the street If I was
19:13
going to watch it on a fucking television, I
19:14
would have stayed home. Yeah. Well, there was
19:18
people complaining on the internet. Like, I saw
19:21
a couple articles. And everyone's like, well,
19:23
you should have made sure you could see it before
19:28
you bought flights. And they're like, they said
19:30
you could a month before the fight. Like, flight
19:34
tickets you don't buy a week before you fly.
19:37
They're too expensive. Yeah. anyways like with
19:43
a trip for a trip like the flights like the first
19:46
thing i'm getting probably before the fight ticket
19:49
depending on how popular the fight is but still
19:53
yeah like well on this one there was no tickets
19:56
so like your your flight is kind of the only
20:00
thing you're you're buying yeah first come first
20:02
serve but apparently nobody got served bullshit
20:10
Absolute dog shit. Speaking of dog shit, bullshit,
20:13
all of the animal shits, Arnold Barbosa just
20:17
did not have the fighting spirit to even really
20:23
try. After the first four rounds, Teofimo had
20:27
him figured out, and that was game. Yeah. Teo's
20:33
just good. When Teo's good, he's so good. Yeah,
20:38
he looked like a pound -for -pound talent. Yeah,
20:41
he was on. Yeah, it helped that Barbosa was completely
20:48
flat -footed, was not interested in throwing
20:53
anything more than one, one, two, and that was
20:57
pretty much it. And it was, man, that is just
21:02
not enough to step in with a... With Tio. With
21:08
Tio Fimo, who's on point? Uh -uh. You're gonna
21:12
have to do better than that. Yeah, and the fight
21:16
was just so one -sided. Like, of the three main
21:20
fights, this was by far the best, but it still
21:23
was just not exciting. Nah. Tio did show up.
21:29
Yes. Tio showed up, and Tio looked good, and
21:32
when Tio looks good, you have to be good. As
21:35
well. And Barbossa was just outclassed. Yep.
21:39
There's levels to this. That was one of the.
21:43
My reaction to that one was. There's levels to
21:45
this. Yeah. You can never count on Tio. But this
21:52
was what I was expecting. If Tio wasn't a crash
21:55
out. Speaking of crashing out. Actually. Devin
22:02
Haney. verse jose ramirez you may remember beloved
22:07
listener from like last time we were talking
22:10
about oh who would fall asleep who would do that
22:14
that would be me this fight put me to sleep i
22:17
straight up fell asleep it was so fucking boring
22:21
i fell asleep i um Yeah, we were supposed to
22:27
record right after the fights ended, and Leo
22:31
just didn't show. Yeah, I was fucking dead. D
22:36
-E -D, dead. Man, that was... That was bad. It
22:43
was rough. I think I fell asleep around 6 or
22:47
7. It was early morning here, and I had trouble
22:51
staying awake. Haney, is he damaged goods, do
22:58
you think? Yes. Based on that performance, Haney
23:03
is never going to be good again. Unless he figures
23:08
his shit out. He ran the whole time. He looked
23:11
terrified. He looked so scared. Do you remember
23:16
that viral clip of that kid that definitely shouldn't
23:20
have been in a boxing ring? And he looked like
23:24
Haney running around and then the guy walks up
23:27
and just knocks him out. Anyways. Ramirez couldn't
23:32
catch him. Yeah, yeah. Ramirez is washed. Officially
23:38
washed. I was deluding myself and I knew it.
23:42
I was hoping that being able to go up and wait
23:45
would save him. He can't do shit anymore. He
23:50
was never fast and he's just... Too slow. His
23:54
feet are broken. And Haney, whatever his other
23:59
faults, he's still super fucking athletic. Because
24:03
there were a few times when he did let his hands
24:06
go. And he looked actually fast. Like his hands
24:11
were still there. But he just never threw anything.
24:15
He's scared. He's absolutely terrified to get
24:19
hit. And he had... happy feet i don't know what
24:24
anyone else calls it but like his feet were just
24:27
always going he wasn't planting at all because
24:30
he was scared that if he stood still long enough
24:33
he'd get hit it was frantic energy yeah this
24:39
fight really disappointed the fuck out of me
24:41
ramirez needs to retire i love him but he needs
24:46
to retire and haney looked like shit Haney looked
24:50
like a terrified little kid that was trying not
24:52
to get caught. Fighting a bully. Then you don't
24:58
want to get hit. Yeah, like a chihuahua versus
25:03
a bulldog. The bulldog can't catch him and the
25:06
chihuahua can't do shit. Speaking of chihuahuas,
25:11
Raleigh, when he made that keychain of Isaac
25:16
Cruz. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so that's the segue into
25:21
Ryan Garcia getting his ass beat. I was so happy.
25:26
Yeah, you made money on this one, didn't you?
25:28
I did. Raleigh was 7 -1 at the place I put my
25:33
bets. My bookie paid out 7 .4, I think, on every
25:36
dollar. Wow. Yeah, that made up for the rest
25:40
of my losses this weekend. Did you bet a lot?
25:46
no no i bet five bucks but still i turned it
25:50
into almost 40 so that's really good what are
25:56
these a million excuses i haven't i didn't hear
26:00
about those okay so afterwards and apparently
26:05
this is more legit than i thought it was but
26:09
Ryan was saying how the no crowd made it feel
26:13
really weird and he could hear people yelling
26:16
things and stuff and he could hear the cars and
26:19
the sirens and that one is whatever. Ryan, lock
26:23
the fuck in. Like, you're a professional. If
26:26
you can hear sirens, it shouldn't throw you off
26:29
your game. But the other one was he said that
26:33
when he was sitting in that car, it smelled like
26:35
gas and that really made him like sick to his
26:38
stomach. But apparently, according to Hawley
26:44
on Probox, the Batmobile he came in on, the cops
26:49
came and said it wasn't street legal. So they
26:52
didn't actually drive it. They had people push
26:54
him and the car from the hotel to his ring walk.
27:02
What? Which is... so fucking lame yeah apparently
27:05
they drove the batmobile to the hotel but of
27:09
course there was cops around the hotel and the
27:11
fight and stuff and the cops are like that is
27:14
not street legal you cannot drive that to times
27:17
square and they got in a big argument and they
27:21
were trying to find another car and whatever
27:24
and they didn't so they had i guess bouncers
27:28
or somebody push the batmobile with with ryan
27:32
in it And they just cut it camera -wise so that
27:37
you couldn't tell. And Ryan said the whole interior
27:41
smelled like gas and it made him sick. And then
27:43
there was no crowd and he just couldn't get into
27:47
it. And even his whole training camp, it just
27:49
didn't go very well. And there's a bunch of videos
27:54
of him crying in the car afterwards. What a bunch
27:59
of fucking booty. That I did see. The clips of
28:02
him crying in the car. Like, man, you've lost
28:06
before. I'm not sure what this is. This isn't
28:10
a new feeling for you. Well, and like, usually
28:14
I'm on the boxer side, but I fucking hate Ryan
28:17
Garcia, so fuck him. Yeah. The Batmobile being
28:24
pushed. Reminds me of when he had the horse,
28:28
rode in on a horse that was being led by someone.
28:32
Yeah. Like Barney style. That, yeah, that's fucking
28:37
embarrassing. Nobody has led a horse I've been
28:40
on since I was three. But, not, Ryan Garcia always
28:47
has a million excuses when things don't go well.
28:51
And he lost before, but I think he really thought
28:55
he should be able to beat Roley. I don't think
28:57
he ever thought he was going to beat Tank. Like,
29:01
really. But Roley has... You would think. Well,
29:08
yeah. But you know what? He figured out the magic
29:11
to beating Ryan Garcia. It's keeping your right
29:14
fucking hand up. He spams one punch. He has one
29:20
punch, yeah. Block the punch. I'm really happy
29:23
for Roley. I don't think he's that good a boxer,
29:27
but... He's not. He's entertaining. He is quite
29:31
humorous. Somebody was saying he's like the new
29:36
Adrian Broner. No, he's much more likable, though.
29:40
You think so? I think Adrian Broner is a piece
29:44
of shit. I like Roley's backstory, though. Right,
29:48
because he has a lisp. He spent a lot of time
29:51
fixing the way he talks and he was bullied a
29:53
lot. That's part of why he got into boxing. Ah.
29:57
Broner was a bit more abrasive. Broner just seems
30:01
like an asshole. I mean, he loaded dice. That
30:08
is a very asshole move. That is. I don't know.
30:12
I like Rolly. But I always have a soft spot for
30:15
the, I was getting bullied, so I started boxing.
30:19
Rolly did look good, though. He looked really
30:21
disciplined. He kept his cool. He was fucking
30:23
yoked, too. He was super jacked. Yeah. That impressed
30:28
me, because he was coming up from, what, 135
30:31
when he fought Tank? 140 for Cruz? And then this,
30:37
he didn't look... He looked like skinny fat before.
30:43
Like he wasn't... Yeah. He looked a little soft,
30:47
but he wasn't like flabby. I guess he just couldn't
30:51
put on much muscle or he'd be overweight. Yeah,
30:54
I guess so. Now that Rolly's been unleashed,
30:58
the regular WBA welterweight champion. So who
31:06
does Rolly fight next? That is a really good
31:10
question. Because he has the WBA, so he could
31:15
get himself murked by Jaron Ennis if he wanted
31:21
to. He could push that issue. I mean, that's
31:25
a payday. It would be. I think Rowley knows he's
31:29
not amazing. Yeah, he knows he's food. Well,
31:34
we're not at super light anymore. He's a welterweight.
31:38
What he should do is drop that belt and go back
31:40
down to 140. I mean, he could lose at the higher
31:45
weight class once for a big payday. Oh, for sure.
31:48
And then go down to 140. Jin Sasaki? Isn't he
31:54
a little bit of a name out in Japan? He is, yeah.
31:57
He's got a fight coming up soon, too, I think.
31:59
Yeah, I believe he does. Brian Norman. He fights
32:03
on the Leo card, doesn't he? Or are they a different
32:09
card? There's so many Japan cards coming up.
32:11
It's crazy. Now, Brian Norman versus Jin Sasaki.
32:15
I'm not seeing Angelo Leo on this one. Oh, and
32:20
it's in Ota City. I can go to that one. Yeah.
32:24
Try to get an autograph from Brian Norman. I
32:29
have never been able to get anywhere close to
32:31
any of the boxers here. They don't really seem
32:34
to do that. I've seen Jin Sasaki before. He beats
32:41
Rolly. Yeah, he does. I think. But timing -wise,
32:47
that would line up pretty well. Because he fights
32:49
in June, right? Yeah. Yeah, that would line up
32:53
well for later this year. It would be a good
32:56
payday out in Japan for Rolly. Rolly would get
33:00
paid to come to Japan. I bet you he would love
33:03
just being in Tokyo. Yeah, you've made him a
33:09
lot more likable to me now that I know what his
33:13
backstory is. I like the kind of, it's not really
33:18
a sob story, like it's not like, but it makes
33:23
him more relatable. Also, so do you think Haney
33:28
didn't look very good in his fight and Garcia
33:31
lost? Do they still do? Haney Garcia too? I believe
33:36
they are. I think I saw something that both of
33:40
them are still interested in doing it again.
33:43
Do you think people are still interested in watching
33:46
it after this? Maybe they get both of them take
33:52
a tune -up because Haney fucking needs it. Like
33:56
desperately needs it. He needs a sports psychologist.
34:01
and he needs a relatively easy opponent that's
34:06
marketable so that they can sell it to him so
34:10
he can get his confidence back. Yeah. I just
34:14
don't know, man. I think if you give them each
34:17
a tune -up, there's a solid chance that one of
34:20
them fucks it up. I'm not even joking. No, I
34:25
think Garcia's the one that would fuck it up
34:27
more than Haney. probably but i think haney either
34:33
gets his confidence back like you said or he
34:36
does the same thing he's not gonna get hurt either
34:38
way yeah but i don't know honestly i'm not super
34:44
into the rematch anyways but they're i expect
34:50
they're gonna do it just because money yeah yeah
34:57
Speaking of money, Saudi Arabia. Motherfucking
35:03
Canelo card. That card was also ass. Yeah, not
35:09
as good as I was expecting from the three fights
35:14
that I was really interested in. Like, I was
35:20
expecting the Canelo fight to be not good. Yes.
35:24
I was not excited for the main event on this
35:27
one. But, yeah, I agree. A couple of the undercard
35:31
things I thought would be better. I was expecting
35:36
Bakoli, a Jogba. I thought Bakoli was going to
35:41
do better, but the one who proved to be more
35:43
versatile was a Jogba. And somehow they gave
35:47
Bakoli a draw. That shit does not make sense
35:50
to me. It's heavyweights. I was not strongly
35:55
invested in this one at all. But yeah, I kind
35:59
of thought a dog but one too. He did enough,
36:02
which wasn't all that glamorous, but he did enough
36:07
still. It's a pretty boring fight. I'm okay with
36:11
a draw. Yeah, I was struggling to stay awake
36:16
for that one too. Me too. The Saudi cards are...
36:21
Literally the middle of the night, usually, I
36:23
was having trouble. Badu Jack becomes the full
36:28
WBC cruiserweight champ. He gets murdered by
36:35
Zurdo or Opataya. Yeah. It won't be pretty. Sorry,
36:45
Badu. But... I guess... Hopefully one last big
36:50
payday, because Badu Jack's old as balls. Yeah.
36:56
Like, what is he? He's 41. I know he's bigger
37:00
and stuff, but he's a cruiserweight fighting
37:03
at heavy. Or is this cruiser? Sorry. He's not
37:07
a real cruiserweight, though. No, he came up
37:09
from 168. Badu Jack's gone up. Yep. Yeah. So
37:12
he's come up quite a ways. And the size disparity
37:17
was pretty apparent. So this motherfucker's name
37:22
is spelled N -O -R -A -I -R. And it's Noel. What
37:29
the hell? Okay. Anyway, Noel McCallion. He's
37:36
like a full -fledged cruiserweight. And it showed.
37:38
The difference was really clear. Still, congrats
37:43
to Badoo. I'm getting it done. Yeah, I think
37:46
he did just enough. Like always. Badu Jack always
37:50
just barely wins. But it wasn't very exciting,
37:54
even though it was so close. I don't know. Maybe
37:58
I'm just down on everything. But I was expecting
38:03
Badu Jack to be a more fun fight. I'm not sure
38:06
why. You know what else I was expecting to be
38:10
a fun fight? Jaime Munguia versus Bruno Saras.
38:14
I expected better from Jaime Munguia. The time
38:18
he has spent with Eddie Reynoso showed. He looked
38:22
like Diet Canelo. Boring. Yes. He looked boring.
38:28
I was trying to be a little bit more, I don't
38:33
know, forgiving with my word choice. I wish Munguia
38:38
had stayed with Freddie Roach. Or Eric Morales.
38:44
I wanted Freddy Roach Mongia. Like, controlled
38:47
fucking monging is what I wanted. But hopefully
38:53
this isn't what Jaime fights like all the time
38:57
now. I think he was just being cautious. He was
39:00
making sure he didn't get sparked again by some
39:04
fucking unknown Frenchman. Still, regardless
39:08
of how this played out, so when I was talking
39:11
with... Isaac and Nathan about this. We all came
39:17
to a similar conclusion that Jaime Munguia needed
39:20
to spark Bruno in return. Yeah, I said that as
39:26
well. This, whatever, 9 -3, 9 -3, 8 -4, that
39:35
shit is not the same. He still lost. He won the
39:41
fight, but... He lost the story. Yeah. No, like,
39:47
this fight did not make me excited to see the
39:50
next Jaime Munguia fight. Nah. Also, in the series,
39:54
or whatever you want to call it, Saras wins.
39:57
Like, I do want to see Bruno Saras again. I was
40:03
talking to somebody, and they said that They
40:08
got the feeling that Saras didn't want to be
40:10
a professional boxer. That this was kind of like,
40:14
I'm really good at this, so I do it, but this
40:18
isn't what I want to do. And they were talking
40:21
about how he's in university and stuff. So I
40:25
wonder if he's not that committed and that's
40:27
why he's just taking these fights and not really
40:33
in the world stage of boxing. At this point,
40:41
he could. He has his meal ticket now. He should
40:46
be in the conversation for these world -level
40:51
events. He's shown he belongs. Right. Even if
40:55
he did lose by a lot in this fight, he didn't
40:59
look out of place. Or I didn't think he did.
41:05
No, I don't think so either. The game plan from
41:10
the Munguia corner was counter -punching? Wait
41:17
for Bruno to open up offense and counter -punch?
41:20
What the... That's not Jaime Munguia fighting,
41:24
though. That's exactly what I was about to say.
41:26
Who in the fuck has ever accused Jaime Munguia
41:30
of being a counter -puncher? And who wants to
41:33
see that? That is not what Jaime Munguia is all
41:36
about. No Jaime Munguia fan is happy about this
41:41
fight. It shouldn't be, anyway. Just getting
41:44
the win back. Kind of. Like, barely. I guess.
41:49
On a technicality. I don't know. I'm disappointed.
41:56
I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed. Yeah, but
42:00
actually... I'd like to see Saras versus Mbili.
42:05
Because... They both speak French. So the shit
42:10
talk. Oh, some French shit talk. That should
42:12
be pretty spicy. Nice. Honestly, not as bad.
42:18
But this Munguia fight feels similar to the Devin
42:21
Haney fight to me. This looked like Munguia was
42:26
scared if he threw too many punches, he was going
42:28
to get knocked out. That's not how anybody else
42:33
is spinning it, and this is my own fucking opinion,
42:36
but Munguia was scared. Yeah. Or his trainer
42:39
was. Maybe it's more accurate to say the camp
42:44
was scared. Yeah, the team kept telling him,
42:47
like, you know, hang back, don't overextend,
42:52
don't overcommit. If you see an opening, take
42:56
it, but don't do too much. Dude. Who do you think
43:01
you're training right now? Who are you coaching?
43:03
This is your friends coaching you before a first
43:09
date. Don't be yourself. Don't talk about weird
43:12
shit. Don't tell them you like boxing. Go out
43:17
and be fucking normal for a day. That's a good
43:22
analogy. don't let them see who you actually
43:28
are go pretend you're somebody else i have had
43:31
i have received that pep talk before i get that
43:35
pep talk every time i have a date don't do not
43:40
do not be you keep that yeah you a secret for
43:44
the time being don't be a fucking mongoloid well
43:49
that's what they were doing to hymie yeah Go
43:54
out there and be normal and don't be a mong.
43:58
Don't be a mongoloid? Anyways, I was disappointed.
44:07
I don't know who Jaime fights next. And I'll
44:09
watch it. But I hope he doesn't look like this.
44:12
Yeah, I don't want to see this version of Munguia
44:15
anymore. It's not fun. And it's not that good.
44:19
Like, this is not what Munguia is good at. I
44:24
think it's a testament to what people think.
44:28
Because of Canelo, people think Eddie Reynoso
44:32
is like this elite trainer that knows how to
44:36
train anyone and everyone. But he trains one
44:42
style, and that's Canelo. He creates replicas
44:46
of Canelo. Yeah, but... That doesn't make you
44:50
an elite trainer. An elite trainer needs to be
44:53
like, this is what you're good at. This is like,
44:56
you know, they have to specialize the training
44:59
for each person and their style and their abilities.
45:02
Like Robert Garcia. Like Freddie Roach. Yeah.
45:05
Why the fuck is Munguia here? Munguia, go home.
45:09
We liked you better before. Robert Garcia would
45:12
be a good fit for him. I would say that about
45:16
anyone. Robert Garcia. He's my favorite trainer.
45:20
Yeah. Well, speaking of Eddie Reynoso training
45:26
people, Canelo. Fucking... What the hell was
45:30
that? I knew this was gonna be bad. I told people
45:35
not to buy this. Like, I had a couple people
45:39
ask, should I buy this because it's, you know,
45:42
Cinco de Mayo and it's Canelo, and I said no.
45:45
Yeah, don't. It's fucking terrible. I'm so happy
45:50
that I paid for it, of course, because that's
45:53
what I do with every single card ever. I actually
45:56
did pay for this. Pricing differences for us.
46:00
Yeah, I was going to say here it was worth the
46:02
money. For me, it was like triple what you paid.
46:06
Yeah. No, thank you. But, okay. This was a boring
46:13
shit -ass fight across the board. But it's not
46:19
William Skull's fault alone. Canelo also did
46:22
shit. Like, Canelo didn't throw any punches.
46:26
Canelo has terrible footwork. He is one of the
46:30
slowest motherfuckers on his feet in elite boxing.
46:34
Like, and he can't cut off the ring. And if Canelo
46:41
was some no -name nobody and Skull was the A
46:45
-side... The cards would be the exact opposite.
46:49
And they would have been talking about great
46:51
defense and movement and... The next Floyd Mayweather.
46:56
Or some other defensive analog. Yeah. I do like
47:02
that the ref told them both to fucking box. Several
47:07
times. That was pretty funny. And they managed
47:11
to beat. Rigo Casimero for least punches thrown
47:15
in a 12 round fight. It's a beautiful thing.
47:19
Fucking terrible. The other, the top three lowest,
47:25
or I guess bottom three lowest punch, lowest
47:29
punch output. All three came this weekend. I
47:33
think it was three of the top five. Okay. All
47:36
right. Because, because of Rigo Casimero. But.
47:41
It's just such, such a dog shit fight. Like,
47:46
I think, I think Canelo's washed and he is very
47:50
much cherry picking people. And he knows that
47:53
if he goes 12 rounds, he'll get the decision
47:56
unless something fucking terrible happens. And
47:59
nobody's knocking Canelo out. I still think he
48:02
has a great chin, but I really think Canelo's
48:05
pretty washed and he's just hiding it masterfully.
48:10
I was more of the mind that as soon as the fight
48:14
was over, they pretty much shunted Skull to the
48:17
side, and they brought in Terrence Crawford immediately.
48:21
This isn't the first time that Canelo has had
48:24
a garbage fight, but it ended up that his next
48:30
fight was already booked. When he fought Chavez,
48:34
that fight was absolute trash. Complete trash.
48:39
But once the fight was over, Golovkin, you are
48:43
next, my friend. And then out comes Golovkin,
48:46
the music, and it's like a ring walk. And it
48:50
was this whole spectacle. I think I've said this
48:56
on the Discord a couple times and people disagree
48:58
with me or agree, but I think Crawford Canelo
49:02
is going to be fucking boring as hell. I think
49:06
Crawford's going to pot shot from the outside
49:08
because he knows if he gets hit, it's going to
49:10
hurt because Canelo is so much bigger than him
49:13
and Canelo won't be able to catch him. It's going
49:15
to be this fight, except Crawford throws punches
49:18
that do no damage and Canelo just tanks them.
49:21
Peppers them from range. Yeah, but like, it's
49:26
going to be this kind of fight, except Crawford
49:29
will throw punches that do no damage. It's going
49:33
to be boring. Canelo won't be able to catch Crawford.
49:38
His feet are too slow. He's not good at cutting
49:41
off the ring anymore. Crawford's great at movement.
49:45
Canelo's not gonna catch him, and Crawford's
49:47
not gonna hurt Canelo. I know Crawford hits hard
49:50
for whatever weight class he's supposed to be
49:52
in, but he's not 168. Right. He's had one fight
49:57
at 154, which wasn't, I don't know, demonstrative
50:04
of his... adaptation to the higher weight? Yeah,
50:11
he can't hit that hard at this weight. He's not
50:13
big enough to hurt these guys. Yeah. I think
50:18
it's going to be a dog shit fight. I think that
50:20
fight is going to be terrible. It's a circus
50:22
fight where nobody can do any damage because
50:26
Canelo won't connect and Crawford's not big enough.
50:32
Speaking of dog shit. Saul Canelo Alvarez drops
50:37
on Ring Magazine to pound for pound ranking.
50:41
He's now number eight. Good. What stands out
50:47
is that Turkey a la La La Shake guy, he bought
50:55
Ring Magazine with the Saudi funds or whatever.
50:58
Yeah. And he's also, he has Canelo on contract.
51:05
This was his first fight under the Saudi contract.
51:11
So he just, he dropped him to number eight. Like
51:14
he dropped his own fighter essentially to number
51:17
eight on pound for pound. I thought that was
51:20
special. I mean, Canelo didn't look good. He
51:26
does not look like a pound for pound talent in
51:29
that fight at all. If you made them the same
51:32
size and put him in the ring with Inoue, Canelo
51:37
gets fucked. Number one is Usyk. Two is Inoue.
51:43
Three is Crawford. Four is Beeble. Five is Better
51:48
BF. Six is Bam. Seven is Junto. And then Canelo
51:52
at eight. All those people beat Canelo if you
51:55
magically make them the same size. For sure.
51:58
Shrink Canelo down to... super flyweight, get
52:02
fucking murked by Bam? He would. He would get
52:05
murked by Bam so fast. If he shrunk down to Bantam
52:12
and fought Junto, I think that fight would be
52:15
really boring. Because they're both waiting for
52:18
the other to commit before they throw. Yeah.
52:23
I still think Junto has better footwork, though.
52:26
And he probably has longer reach. But that's
52:32
enough of the Ring Magazine talk. Motherfucking
52:37
Las Vegas. The Japanese saved the weekend. The
52:43
Japanese saved Cinco de Mayo. It was in part
52:51
with the Mexican guy. Yes, of course. And the
52:54
black guy, too. So thank you, everyone. We came
52:59
together to salvage this. It makes the fucking
53:02
dream work. Let me pull up the card. The top
53:07
-ranked card was fun. It was. I really enjoyed
53:10
the top -ranked card. I went to the bar in Tokyo.
53:19
It was fucking packed. So they opened early at
53:23
9 a .m. Which means I did miss that very first
53:28
televised fight here. We didn't get the really
53:31
early ones. So what was his name, Leo, the Japanese
53:36
kid? Haruto? Mikito Nakano. Ah, there we go.
53:42
I'm just accidentally being racist. Anyways,
53:47
I missed him entirely walking from the train
53:51
to the bar. But I got there right at 9 a .m.
53:55
A couple of the other regulars were there. I
53:57
got told to sit front and center at the counter.
54:02
We were assigned seats, I guess, based on how
54:05
early you reserved your spot. And by, I think
54:12
it was 10 o 'clock, they had to go to the bar
54:15
next door that was closed because it was 10 a
54:17
.m. and borrow chairs. to bring into the bar
54:21
we were sitting in. A fucking fire hazard. Oh,
54:26
yeah. If the fire department came by, it would
54:30
have been bad, but they didn't, so it was okay.
54:33
Yeah, it was great, though. The atmosphere was
54:36
really fun. I'm glad I got my ass out of bed
54:39
and went to Tokyo. Emiliano Vargas continues
54:43
the hot streak. Late opponent, though. They didn't
54:47
have... It was... the legendary tba for quite
54:51
some time so stoppage in two but that's what
54:57
you're supposed to do he looked good yeah one
55:03
uh to carry on a joke from b -sides is to say
55:08
you see dalton dalton smith this is how you're
55:11
supposed to do it this is how it's supposed to
55:13
be done you see You see. I think ours is Cambosis.
55:18
Yeah. Same. Cambosis. You see how this is what
55:23
you're supposed to do to Richardson Hitchens.
55:25
For the love of everything, anything and everything
55:29
that you find sacred. I put that on fucking Josh's
55:33
life. Oh, poor Josh. I like Josh. I would be
55:39
sad. Who else? Rohan Polanco. Against Fabian
55:45
Maidana, it left a bit to be desired. I don't
55:53
know. I expected better of Rohan, but what are
55:57
you going to do, I guess? I thought he looked
56:02
good. I was expecting him to bomb out Maidana,
56:07
just because Maidana's on the downslope. I guess.
56:11
Maidana's tough, though. Sure. I don't know.
56:15
I thought it was a fun fight. Lots of punches
56:17
thrown. Nobody fell asleep. It was good. Yeah,
56:24
no sleeping on this one. Rafael Espinoza. Just
56:28
mauls. Edward Vasquez. Holy shit. Hey, Munguia,
56:38
do you see how you're supposed to mong out? Do
56:41
you see what monging out looks like? This is
56:44
monging out. Remember your roots. Yeah. Fucking
56:48
remember who you are, Simba. I love Raphael.
56:56
I do too. His proportions make no sense. And
57:03
just like Fedora, he doesn't use them properly.
57:07
But man, those up -close uppercuts. That Espinoza
57:13
throws. Brutal. Fucking great. I love everything
57:18
about it. He throws both lead hand and rear hand,
57:23
but he just throws uppercuts. Why are you so
57:27
fucking tall? And they just, they seem to catch
57:33
people off guard so much. I guess defending uppercuts
57:38
seems like it's hard. People don't see them coming
57:40
or something. Yeah, if you're shelled up, you
57:43
don't see them, and they split the guard. Yeah.
57:48
You've got to do the George Foreman cross block.
57:52
You've got to turn one of your hands. Down? Yeah.
57:55
Under your chin? Yep, so that you can block it
57:58
on its way up. But then that opens you up for
58:00
hooks. Absolutely. Hooks for days. That's the
58:02
trade -off. Well, and Espinosa throws hooks fairly
58:07
well, too. Yeah, he just spams power punches
58:10
because he's a goddamn Mexican. That's what they
58:13
do. That's what we do. That's why we love them.
58:17
God, just throw all of the punches that are not
58:21
jabs. That's all we need. All these, not all
58:28
these fights, but these fights were all pretty
58:30
one -sided, but still, after the dog shit cards
58:33
earlier this week, I loved every second of this.
58:36
Yeah, this. Top rank, as much as I like to clown
58:40
on them from time to time. They saved it. Yeah,
58:46
top rank cards are usually really one -sided,
58:48
so they can be boring that way. But at least
58:53
everybody was there to win in Vegas. His contemporaries,
59:03
Espinoza's Nick Ball with a WBA. Angelo Leo with
59:07
the IBF. And Stephen Fulton with the WBC. Word
59:14
on the street is that Stephen Fulton is moving
59:16
up to fight Oshaki Foster. Wow, that's kind of
59:23
weird. I hope it's like a champion in recess
59:26
kind of thing and he's just going up for the
59:28
one. Because I would prefer that Fulton stays
59:32
at 26. There's a lot of good fights to be made
59:35
here. He's scared of Inouye coming up. I had
59:40
the same thought when someone said, oh, he's
59:44
going to be going up to fight Foster at 1 .30.
59:47
I'm like, oh, so he doesn't want to be there
59:49
when Inouye arrives. Okay, got it. Fair. Yeah,
59:53
absolutely fair. I wouldn't want to take that
59:56
ass kicking twice either. Just looking at everyone
59:59
else, I would highly rate Fulton's chances. Against
1:00:04
pretty much anybody in the division. Maybe not
1:00:06
Espinosa. Because of the height and reach. I
1:00:12
think Espinosa is probably the person to beat
1:00:15
at 126. I can't think of anybody who I am sure
1:00:18
beats Espinosa. I got nobody. No. The only way
1:00:24
would be Nick Ball. Because it would be really
1:00:27
fucking weird with the height difference. They're
1:00:30
like a foot apart. Yeah, but I don't think Nick
1:00:33
Ball... How's Nick Ball beating Espinoza? I guess
1:00:38
to the body? Yeah, bull rush to the body. I don't
1:00:43
know. That's just going to walk him into uppercuts
1:00:46
all day, isn't it? And he's right at uppercut
1:00:49
height. I don't think Nick Ball has much of a
1:00:55
chance against Espinoza. I think it would be
1:00:57
exciting while it lasted, but I got Espinoza
1:00:59
by KO. Espinalza Leo might be very interesting.
1:01:06
I think Leo loses, but maybe not. Maybe he gets
1:01:10
real lucky. I'd like to see Angelo Leo and Stephen
1:01:15
Fulton rematch and unify their belts. That would
1:01:18
be cool to me. Yeah. But Leo, he's fighting Kameda
1:01:27
next, right? I believe so, in Japan. Yeah, soon.
1:01:32
And Leo should win that, but you never know.
1:01:36
Tomoki's got mileage on him. Yeah, I think Leo
1:01:40
should win. Yeah. 42 -4. Tomato's old, but I
1:01:49
think he's still got pop. He's 33. His losses
1:01:55
haven't been hard ones, so... Like, KOs, I mean.
1:02:00
He has a funny box rock picture, Kameda. He looks
1:02:05
like an action figure of a news anchor. Yeah.
1:02:12
Or like the old -timey anime, like that slightly
1:02:18
older character. The senpai of the group? Yeah.
1:02:26
Of the kid that gives him not -so -great advice.
1:02:31
He's like a reformed hooligan. Yeah. Yeah. You
1:02:36
gotta get your life together. I know the type.
1:02:40
Yeah, that's in Osaka, or I would go. Osaka has
1:02:44
to be a two -day trip, and it's just... I can't
1:02:47
make it work. Well, I can't make it work right
1:02:50
now at work. I really wanted to see Leo. And
1:02:54
the main event... Now, there's a problem here.
1:03:00
This is the second time Inoue's been dropped
1:03:04
in the first round. He doesn't look hurt. Second
1:03:07
round. Oh, he's in the second round this time.
1:03:10
Still early. So he got dropped early. Yeah. He
1:03:13
doesn't look hurt. By the exact same punch. Yes.
1:03:17
Exactly what I was... Yeah, he doesn't look hurt,
1:03:19
but he's falling for it every time. Yep. This
1:03:24
is the problem. Yeah, well, I've said before,
1:03:29
Inouye gets hit. And it's why I don't want him
1:03:32
moving up in weight like this, because eventually
1:03:34
he's just going to stay down. He is not crazy
1:03:38
superhuman defense. Inouye's defense is his offense,
1:03:42
and that leaves you open. Yeah, the old Freddie
1:03:46
Roach school of training. Yeah, but that's what
1:03:49
makes him exciting. If Inoue didn't get hit,
1:03:52
he wouldn't be my favorite. If there is no danger,
1:03:56
I don't care. This was a great fight. This was
1:04:00
so exciting. So fun. So much fun. And everybody
1:04:05
was saying Cardenas is trash because he was on
1:04:09
Probox. I disagree. The Probox fighters who escape
1:04:14
are fucking awesome. I'm sorry. Angelo Leo's
1:04:18
a fucking world champion right now? Yeah. And
1:04:21
I think Cardenas will be eventually, too. Yeah.
1:04:24
Josh put it really well on B -Sides when he said,
1:04:29
he's a worthy contender for a title, but not
1:04:34
for Inoue. And I think that part was disproven.
1:04:38
He has the fucking chutzpah to keep up with.
1:04:46
Elite talent. Very awesome. Well, and Cardenas
1:04:50
looked good. Yeah. Once Inouye kind of did the
1:04:55
shit, like, I got hit, I got to turn it up a
1:04:58
little, I got to keep him off me, I got to...
1:05:00
Cardenas started wearing down, and he just started
1:05:05
spamming that left hook, hoping it landed. And
1:05:09
to Inouye's credit, it didn't land twice. Yeah.
1:05:14
But I thought Inoue still looked great. Like,
1:05:17
the movement, the power, the timing, it's all
1:05:21
still there. Shot selection was... That's how
1:05:25
you broke him down. And he used his jab a lot
1:05:29
this fight, too. He doesn't always jab that much.
1:05:32
He usually doesn't have to. Yeah, no need. No,
1:05:37
this was a great fight. I fucking loved every
1:05:40
minute of it. When he went down, the bar went
1:05:44
crazy. Like, I was at the Neary fight, and it
1:05:49
went silent. But this time in the bar, where
1:05:53
it's less public, kind of, everybody started
1:05:56
yelling at the TV. It was hilarious. It went
1:06:01
silent for Neary? Well, I was in the arena. Oh,
1:06:06
I see. I think the difference is that... Close
1:06:10
doors. Well, in the bar, they know Inoue can't
1:06:15
hear him, obviously. But I think in the arena,
1:06:18
everybody was like, oh, no. But in the bar, they're
1:06:22
like, you fucking idiot. I see. Yeah, he's been
1:06:28
doing that since round one. It's the same shit
1:06:32
that happened with Neri. It was the exact same
1:06:35
punch. I think as far as landing on Inoue, the
1:06:39
jig is up. Left hook, kind of from that side
1:06:45
angle early on before he warms up. And if you
1:06:48
can hit him hard enough, maybe he'll stay down.
1:06:51
But Inoue has a chin, and he recovers well. I
1:06:54
don't care what anybody says, he has a chin.
1:06:56
Yeah, absolutely. Like I said, when he, both
1:06:59
Neri... Is known for having. Pretty heavy hands.
1:07:04
And Cardenas caught him. Pretty flush. And in
1:07:09
a way was not hurt. He was like surprised. But
1:07:12
he wasn't hurt. By any stretch. I do like how.
1:07:18
How well he composes himself. Before he gets
1:07:20
up. In a way he's not doing that weird. Jump
1:07:24
up at four seconds. And you know. Possibly look
1:07:28
wobbly. And maybe get. call like get stopped
1:07:33
yeah he takes his full eight seconds he stands
1:07:37
up carefully this was at the end of the round
1:07:39
so he got a whole minute afterwards so I saw
1:07:44
probably pro box guys again discussing it so
1:07:48
Inoue fights MJ next yes MJ has the same trainer
1:07:53
as Cardenas is it uh Joel Diaz I forget I'm not
1:07:58
good at names you know that yeah but yeah uh
1:08:03
whatever team it is it's the same it's the whole
1:08:06
same team and like these guys definitely had
1:08:09
a good strategy against in a way and now they've
1:08:13
got to fight them once i mean obviously mj hasn't
1:08:17
but the coach and everybody has and they've seen
1:08:19
it in person i don't know that's i still think
1:08:25
in a way wins but that could be a bit of a problem
1:08:30
MJ losing to Marlon Topalas, something that I've
1:08:38
tried to impress upon people is that that was
1:08:41
an exception. That's not the rule of what MJ
1:08:44
is actually like. The guy can fucking fight,
1:08:49
and losing to Topalas, he was just completely
1:08:52
off. So don't write him off thinking... you're
1:08:57
going to get another version, the same version
1:08:59
that fought Marlon. Oof. Oh, I think it's a very
1:09:04
dangerous fight. Like, I also like MJ. I just...
1:09:09
In a way, I think is better. Yeah, absolutely.
1:09:15
I absolutely agree. But we'll see, I guess. Oh,
1:09:20
MJ has another fight lined up. I hate that they're
1:09:23
doing this. So what happens if... Louis Castillo
1:09:27
somehow manages to upset him. I'm just saying.
1:09:31
Throw MJ in the trash if that's what happens.
1:09:36
People get sparked, guys. No one thought Saras
1:09:40
was gonna fuck up Jaime. Yeah, that was a foregone
1:09:47
conclusion as far as we were concerned. But,
1:09:51
I don't know. The training team having already
1:09:58
fought in a way makes me a little nervous, a
1:10:03
little more nervous about the MJ fight. And Inoue
1:10:07
doesn't belong in this weight class. I know he
1:10:10
doesn't look that small in there, but he's not
1:10:12
really that size. So his power is carrying him?
1:10:19
Well, I think his power isn't as good. Like,
1:10:23
these guys can take a hit better. They're bigger.
1:10:26
I don't know if Inoue... He can break them down,
1:10:31
but I don't think Inoue can one -shot MJ in any
1:10:35
universe. Inoue can break them down, and he might
1:10:40
get a KO, but I don't think he has one -hit power
1:10:44
to stop MJ. He'd have to get lucky. Catch the
1:10:48
off button? Like 16 years ago when Manny Pacquiao
1:10:52
got Ricky Hatton? That was fucking awesome. 16
1:10:58
years ago when Pacquiao was getting a title fight.
1:11:02
Makes perfect sense. Anyways, Inoue does it again.
1:11:08
Nobody can bitch that he only fights in Japan
1:11:11
now. What does that matter? Nobody bitches that
1:11:16
Canelo had never fought outside... Well, I guess
1:11:18
he's fought in two countries, but... Nobody bitched
1:11:21
that Canelo had never fought outside North America.
1:11:24
And in Vegas, for the most part. For the longest
1:11:27
time. Like, this Saudi fight was his first one
1:11:31
outside of North America. A bunch of the Americans
1:11:34
have never fought anywhere except America. I
1:11:37
don't know... Yeah, but I'm just saying. Also,
1:11:41
I don't think... the uh ticket sales were very
1:11:44
good for in a way in comparison to what he does
1:11:48
in japan i yeah i would not expect that they
1:11:51
would be like i didn't i didn't see actual numbers
1:11:55
but i bet you he sold half as many tickets as
1:11:59
he sells here ticket prices are probably twice
1:12:02
as much though so i guess it all works out but
1:12:05
we are quite a ways on time Oh, shit. Yeah, fuck
1:12:11
that. We were on a roll. Anyways, Inoue saved
1:12:15
Cinco de Mayo. Yeah. The Japan versus Mexico
1:12:20
rivalry is the best in boxing right now. As you
1:12:23
put it. Yeah, 100%. I think that is the only
1:12:27
two countries that I care about the rivalry right
1:12:30
now. Like, Mexico -Puerto Rico's dead. Yeah,
1:12:34
it is. America just... fights amongst itself
1:12:39
yeah it's regional rivalries yeah uh i guess
1:12:45
britain america and the heavyweights but that's
1:12:48
pretty dead there's no american heavyweights
1:12:50
right now sad times uh some quick notes before
1:12:55
we get out of here coming up on the 14th yeah
1:12:58
that's gonna this is gonna start at like midnight
1:13:01
or one uh sam goodman is back Given that he's
1:13:08
the headline, the card starts around midnight
1:13:11
or 1 on the west coast of the US. Expect attack
1:13:16
on like 4 -5 hours before you get to the main
1:13:21
event. What is it with Australia in these Wednesday
1:13:26
cards? Fucking weird. I don't know. Probox did
1:13:30
it and I liked it. Yeah, but Probox isn't...
1:13:35
Sam Goodman. Sam Goodman is Provox, though. Should
1:13:41
be. Fair enough. Also, on the 17th, Johnny Fisher
1:13:49
versus David Allen, the rematch. I'm actually
1:13:54
kind of excited for this one. I hope the white
1:13:57
rhino pulls it out again. Yeah, they fucked him
1:14:00
in Saudi so bad. And then also on the 17th, the
1:14:06
Fisher Allen, that's a British card, so that'll
1:14:09
be around midday West Coast time. And in the
1:14:13
evening, this is on fucking UFC Fight Pass. So
1:14:20
weird. Do better, Tom Loeffler. Do better. Mizuki,
1:14:25
a .k .a. Mimi, the anime girl, she's back. She's
1:14:31
fun. If you don't know who she is, you should
1:14:36
tune in. She is the only woman that won an award
1:14:40
at the Japanese Boxing Commission Awards Night
1:14:44
this year. She showed up in a black dress and
1:14:50
her pink hair. That's pretty sweet. That's pretty
1:14:55
sweet. If Mimi is not enough to bring you out,
1:14:59
Sergei Bohachuk is also going to be competing.
1:15:02
So he is an exciting fighter to watch. And if
1:15:06
you stick around for Mizuki, then you should
1:15:09
have a good time. Yeah. All right. Let me. You've

Leafs are up in the series 2 -0, although I just
1:16:50
checked the score and they're now tied in the
1:16:52
third. But, fuck Brad Marchand, go Buds. Go Buds?
1:17:02
Is that the Maple Leafs? Yeah, they're the Leafs.
1:17:06
Oh, they're the buds? Yeah. I gotcha. I don't
1:17:12
know a whole lot about hockey, but I don't know.

I just so happen to have, I was doing this for
1:17:22

read Advice from a Glacier. Carve your own path.

and be cool. Nice. Solid advice. Yep. It's with
1:17:48
the hockey theme. Yeah, yeah, that's why I picked
1:17:52
it. All right, well, with that, boxing before
1:17:58
dark, the sun is setting. Cue the cowboy music.

See y 'all next week.
