- 0:15is Boxing Before Dark. Okay. I am ready, Leo.
- 0:25Are you ready? I'm ready. Well, well, well. It's
- 0:32Boxing Before Dark. Back up in your ears. Yeah,
- 0:36we're back, bitch. Shannara, how are you doing?
- 0:40How's life in Japan as you count down to your
- 0:43return? It's alright. It's pretty good. Christmas
- 0:48market in town, so I might go check that out
- 0:50this weekend. And my ticket for Tsutsumi Donair
- 0:55should be here in about three hours. Is it coming
- 0:59by, like, official mail or something? Yeah, they
- 1:02tried to deliver yesterday, but I was at work.
- 1:04You gotta sign for the tickets, usually. Yeah,
- 1:07makes sense. It does. Certified mail, yeah. Yeah.
- 1:12But I also have a t -shirt coming, so... Extra
- 1:15have to sign. Oh, you know who's about to sign?
- 1:21Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. It sounds like
- 1:25the Saudis are gonna be funding the event. For
- 1:29those two to fight. This is breaking news for
- 1:32me. I hadn't heard this. Yeah, it's 2026. Allegedly,
- 1:37each of them are going to have a fight before.
- 1:41I guess to shake the cobwebs loose. Well, Fury's
- 1:46retired again, isn't he? Right. I'm not sure
- 1:50what number they gave him, but it sounds like
- 1:52this is moving ahead. Nice. So we're finally
- 1:57going to see it. Who are you backing in this
- 2:03one? Probably Anthony Joshua, even though he's
- 2:09going to lose. Yeah, that's how I'm feeling too.
- 2:16This fight has to happen. It should have happened
- 2:2010 years ago, but it has to happen. Hence an
- 2:23exaggeration. I swear to fucking fuck, if it
- 2:25happens in Saudi Arabia, I'm going to lose my
- 2:28fucking mind. That would be the dumbest shit
- 2:31they have ever done. Yes. That would be incredibly
- 2:33stupid. Fury AJ has to happen in England. That's
- 2:40a, whatever, Wembley Stadium fight. Yeah. Man,
- 2:48that would be massive. Yeah. But of course, they're
- 2:55going to end up doing it in fucking Riyadh because
- 2:57of sports washing. That will be the dumbest thing
- 3:03they've ever done if that happens. Like, worse
- 3:07than the concerts, worse than fucking everything.
- 3:13Yeah, I don't like it. I have the feeling that's
- 3:20what's going to happen. I don't like it. No,
- 3:23that should definitely be in the UK. Not even
- 3:26the UK. That should be in London. Yeah, the train
- 3:32from Manchester is only like an hour and a half.
- 3:34So you guys can... It's not that bad. Fucking
- 3:37deal with it. Yeah, it's not that bad. Whiny
- 3:41UK people. My grandmother lives 40 minutes away,
- 3:45so I haven't seen her for a decade. Yeah, the
- 3:51old adage of, for us, 100 years is a long time.
- 3:57For them, 100 miles is a long way. Yeah, yeah.
- 4:01100 miles is nothing. Yep. Both Chief and Robbie,
- 4:09they both kind of like, their heads exploded.
- 4:11And I was like, yeah, I used to do that daily,
- 4:13like 50 miles one way. Yeah, to go to work. To
- 4:19go to work, yep. Yeah, easy. Oh, well. Yeah,
- 4:25just throw in a book or a podcast or something
- 4:27and makes the time go by pretty quickly. Try
- 4:32not to hit any deer. I guess you probably lived
- 4:35where there's people. Yeah, for me it was Salt
- 4:38City, but... Try not to hit any people. Yeah.
- 4:44Speaking of hitting people, Betterbeof has decided
- 4:47that the people he wants to hit... Are Bevo or
- 4:50Benavidez? I mean, that's kind of the only ones
- 4:56left, right? Those are the only options. They
- 4:58have to be. Those are the only options left.
- 5:01I don't want to see the trilogy. I don't care.
- 5:05I think Bevo won both of those fights. Right.
- 5:08I agree. I'd rather see Benavidez. That'll be
- 5:13fireworks. Something new. Who can hit hard first?
- 5:21I did see this thing about Benavidez calling
- 5:23out Ben Whittaker. Whittaker. That's a weird
- 5:29call -out, isn't it? It is absolutely a weird
- 5:31call -out. I don't get it. But... Didn't he call
- 5:39out Zerto? Didn't he say he was going up? Yeah,
- 5:42okay. Because I know I get him confused with
- 5:45a couple other people, but... Yeah. I don't know.
- 5:52All that stuff up there is just, like, nobody
- 5:55cares. I know people care, but I don't care.
- 6:00Benavidez has some weird options that he's laying
- 6:04out. Zerto's weird, but... Yeah, Zerto's not
- 6:09a real cruiserweight either, though. Like, I
- 6:12feel like Zerto could cut to 175 if he wanted
- 6:18to. It's just a guy that doesn't want to stop
- 6:20eating. And I appreciate that. That's perfectly
- 6:26fine. But I mean, he's not going up to fight
- 6:29somebody that's way bigger than him. Just fatter.
- 6:34Lazier. We need to get Zerto the donut sponsor
- 6:40as well. Him and Nav can be buddies. Hmm. So,
- 6:53remember we talked about Subreal Matias and his
- 6:55positive PED test? Okay. So, I actually did some
- 7:02reading and I can see why they changed it. But
- 7:11they didn't really change anything. It's just
- 7:13the way they reported it changed. So both his
- 7:16samples were below the threshold for the New
- 7:18York State Athletic Commission. They have a threshold
- 7:23of 0 .1 nanomoles, which is tiny, or nanograms,
- 7:29but doesn't matter. It's tiny. Like, for reference,
- 7:35Ryan Garcia was 6 nanomoles, so he was 60 times
- 7:38over the limit. And both of Matias' samples were
- 7:43below that limit. But I also did a little extra
- 7:49digging just because I was bored. Osterine has
- 7:53been found in 72 supplements, I think, by the
- 7:59U .S. whatever, the sports people. Like, there's
- 8:04a whole list of don't take this protein powder,
- 8:07don't take this multivitamin, don't take this,
- 8:09like, over -the -counter stuff if you're an athlete
- 8:13because you will pop for Osterine. And there's
- 8:16like 72 brands of multivitamins on there. And
- 8:20at 0 .08 nanograms, I mean, that seems plausible
- 8:27to me. Six nanograms, I don't know how many fucking
- 8:32multivitamins you were taking. The whole bottle
- 8:35at once? Yeah. And I'm not saying that Matthias...
- 8:39Has never done steroids and isn't doing steroids.
- 8:42I'm just saying that he didn't actually break
- 8:45any of the New York State Athletic Commission
- 8:47rules with either of his samples. But VADA has
- 8:52zero tolerance for Osterine. If they can detect
- 8:57it. Yeah. If they can detect it, they call it
- 9:01an adverse finding. The reason it was so fast
- 9:06was the adverse finding was within the threshold
- 9:09allowed by the New York State. Is that where
- 9:15Matias is competing next? I think so. Because
- 9:19he's fighting the Dalton guy. Yeah, I didn't
- 9:25look at it. I just assumed that was the commission
- 9:27that was doing it. One second. Dalton Smith,
- 9:34right? Yeah. Yeah, the fight in New York on January
- 9:4310th. All right, so it makes sense that it would
- 9:47be New York that they're going to allow the fight
- 9:50to proceed. Yeah, so the reported concentrations
- 9:54are below Nevada, California, and New York limits.
- 9:58So it's not just New York either. Yeah, makes
- 10:01sense. So, again, I'm not saying that Matias
- 10:06has never cheated. I'm just saying that this
- 10:09one shouldn't have been reported the way it was.
- 10:13Like, if there's a threshold and he's below it,
- 10:17he didn't do anything wrong. Right. Whether you
- 10:25think there should be a threshold... Yeah, well,
- 10:27whether you think there should be a threshold
- 10:29or not is a different question, but... I was
- 10:33under the impression there was no permitted amount
- 10:36for a substance like Osterine. I mean, apparently
- 10:44California, Nevada, and the New York State Commission
- 10:47all disagree that there's a very small amount
- 10:51that can be just contamination. Also, that led
- 10:57me to a rabbit hole of... You know how they test
- 11:02sewage samples all the time for just random stuff,
- 11:07like they used it in COVID? Some study did a
- 11:11test on sewage fatberg samples for just shit
- 11:19that people shouldn't be taking. And in the last
- 11:23decade, recreational drugs have fallen way behind
- 11:28steroids. Really? Osterine's one of the ones
- 11:32that they find in very high concentrations in
- 11:36just like city sewage samples. So cocaine, like
- 11:40all the recreational drugs you think people are
- 11:43probably doing, way below steroid use and has
- 11:47been for the last 10 years. It's crazy to me.
- 11:52Wow. That is... I would not have expected that.
- 11:56Yeah, so I know London was one of the cities.
- 11:59I forget the other ones, but London was the oldest
- 12:03one I could find. And that test was from like
- 12:062017 or something. So people out there doing
- 12:13steroids, but also apparently they're putting
- 12:16steroids in your multivitamins. So, yeah. Makes
- 12:19sense. Yeah. You know what's not going to make
- 12:25sense? Well, It'll just be humorous. Nick Ball
- 12:29versus Brandon Figueroa. That is going to be
- 12:33fucking funny. That's going to be a cartoonish
- 12:35fight. Yeah. What is the actual height difference?
- 12:40I'm going to guess, like, 7 inches? Yeah, I think
- 12:43it's 7 inches. I think Nick Ball's, like, 5 '2",
- 12:46and Figueroa's 5 '9", I think. Yeah, Figueroa
- 12:52is the one I don't know his actual height. Yeah,
- 12:595 '9". 7 inch height difference. That's going
- 13:03to be the fucking Looney Tunes cartoonish. Amazing.
- 13:12I also don't know who wins that one. I mean,
- 13:18Figueroa should, but he's looked like shit. He
- 13:22has looked better. He's had better days. But
- 13:28Nick Ball isn't that good either. No, you think
- 13:33just keep him at the end of your reach and you
- 13:35should be good, right? I mean, Figueroa doesn't
- 13:39do that. Like, he's not much of a jab person.
- 13:46No. He'd have to switch his whole style up to,
- 13:50I don't know, to find some success in this one.
- 13:56Oh, that's going to be in Liverpool. Yeah, that's
- 14:00going to be cartoonish. Love it. Oh, cartoonish.
- 14:06The WBC interim 135 belt that was recently on
- 14:11the line vacated. Because that whole thing was
- 14:18so stupid. That belt should not have been put
- 14:20on the line at all. Don't they already, like...
- 14:24They had scheduled a fight for that interim belt?
- 14:27Yes. They're lucky that Foster wants to vacate.
- 14:32Otherwise they'd have two interim belt holders.
- 14:38It's so stupid. I would imagine they would rescind
- 14:42the other one. Since it's not as prestigious
- 14:47of a fight. Actual 135 pounders. Yeah. Foster's
- 14:53staying at 130. So that's good. Makes sense.
- 14:56He made 130. Yeah. Like, they should have just
- 15:02done what they always do. Fulton missed weight
- 15:04and he can't win the belt. But Foster can. Or
- 15:09whatever, right? He can keep it, yeah. Yeah.
- 15:14Like, that was so stupid. That whole thing was
- 15:16stupid. It was a dumb sequence of events. really
- 15:22disappointing from the WBC to play the same type
- 15:24of hijinks that the WBA gets up to. Yeah. Yeah.
- 15:31That was just stupid. You know what else is stupid
- 15:35that I had never really noticed? Fulton's tattoo.
- 15:40Like, he needs a cover -up. I've never seen it.
- 15:44His giant one on his stomach? Stephen Fulton.
- 15:55The giant? Did you read it? The giant one on
- 15:58his stomach. Yeah. No, I'm not finding any pictures.
- 16:05I know I don't have the wrong person this time
- 16:07because it's... Do I have the wrong person? He's
- 16:14the one that fought in a way, right? Yeah. Yeah.
- 16:16Yeah. I don't see a tattoo on his stomach in
- 16:22these pictures. He's got a giant tattoo that
- 16:25says can't be stopped on his stomach. I know
- 16:28he does. I remember seeing that actually. I remember
- 16:32that. I think Naoya Inoue would beg to differ.
- 16:42He needs to get it covered up with just like
- 16:47Inoue. Only stopped once. Yeah. Can't be stopped
- 16:52except by the best. How do you save that? Also,
- 16:57if he got that tattoo after the Ittaway fight,
- 17:00that's even funnier. He did. I'm seeing pictures
- 17:06from the weigh -in and he got that after. That's
- 17:10so cringy and stupid. That's funny. That's next
- 17:20level. That's dumber than them putting that belt
- 17:25on the line. Well, speaking of dumb, Canelo wants
- 17:32to rematch Crawford. I mean, I assume that must
- 17:37be just a ton of money. Yeah, absolutely. But
- 17:44I don't think anybody wants to see that. See
- 17:48how it would go any different. Yeah, I don't
- 17:52either. Seems like Canelo doesn't have shit to
- 17:57do anyways, but it seems like a waste of time
- 17:59for Crawford. He doesn't have anything to do
- 18:03either. It's not like he's going to fight the
- 18:05other contenders at 168. Why not? Go to 160.
- 18:14I guess there's not really anyone famous at 160,
- 18:17is there? No, I suspect that he was supposed
- 18:20to fight the winner of Janabek Lara. So that
- 18:25he could scoop up three of the belts and then
- 18:27beat whoever had the other one. Carlos Adamas,
- 18:30I guess. Right. Easy work. And then Janabek fucked
- 18:35it up. Yep. Yeah, because none of these names
- 18:43are very big. Now that I actually look at who's
- 18:46at 160. Yeah. It's been a wasteland for quite
- 18:56some time. Like, there's no point in him beating
- 18:58up Old Man Lara. Really. No. The only one that's
- 19:03really worth anything is Janabek. Yeah. He could
- 19:10go beat up Roy and Janabek. I don't think that's
- 19:16going to affect who wins that fight in the least.
- 19:20Yeah, I don't think so either. I mean, I guess
- 19:31it makes sense just because they're going to
- 19:33get paid a shit ton, but I really don't know
- 19:35anyone who wants to see that rematch. There must
- 19:39be some Canelo stans out there, I guess. Like,
- 19:43the delusional kind. Okay, I was gonna say, like,
- 19:46I don't know, like, Isaac is a Canelo stan and
- 19:49I imagine he would not want to see it again.
- 19:53Isaac's pretty realistic as far as stans go.
- 19:56Yeah. Like, you need the Casamero -style Canelo
- 20:01fans. Can do no wrong. Yeah. Heads I win, tails
- 20:08you cheated. Yeah, exactly. I don't see that
- 20:17going any different. Crawford's just going to
- 20:20outbox him again. Zufa Boxing kicks off on January
- 20:2723rd. That's the day before UFC kicks off on
- 20:34Paramount Plus on January 24th. Have they signed
- 20:42anyone of note? Not that I've seen. No, me neither.
- 20:46Like, I don't know. I kind of hope Zufa boxing
- 20:51just fizzles out. I hope it's another triller
- 20:55or whatever the fuck that was. Triller boxing?
- 21:01Yeah. I don't know. I just, I don't want boxing
- 21:09to start becoming UFC -ish. I think all of that
- 21:14is awful. Yeah, I don't want it either. I am
- 21:25cautiously optimistic that the size of these
- 21:31Paramount deals would reach the fighter pay.
- 21:36It would improve fighter pay, but yeah, it's
- 21:40probably not. It's not gonna happen. That would
- 21:44cut into other people's pay. Cut into overhead?
- 21:51Yeah. Dana White would make less money. You can't
- 21:55have that. Yeah, we can't have that. I don't
- 22:00know. I fucking hate Zufa boxing. I know it doesn't
- 22:04officially really exist yet, but the whole concept
- 22:07sounds stupid. I hope they get... Nothing. I
- 22:13hope nobody signs with them and I hope their
- 22:15first six events are all garbage that fails and
- 22:19then they disappear. If the Saudis financially
- 22:24back him, he could make some big signings with
- 22:29that. But that would amount to him having paid
- 22:34fighters generously. Right. Which would be fine,
- 22:40I guess. Because it's the Saudis' money, not
- 22:42his. Yeah. Well, and also the fighters get paid,
- 22:47so that's fine, I guess. Yeah. Like, from my
- 22:50not important perception. But, like, I honestly,
- 22:59I don't think anyone big is really going to sign
- 23:02with them if they keep fighting with the belts.
- 23:08I think the belts do matter to the fighters.
- 23:10I think people care about that. Yeah, I think
- 23:13so too. They're not going to get anybody of note.
- 23:19Even if they do, I don't think it'll stick, if
- 23:22you know what I mean. Because if you go to Zufa
- 23:25and you can't fight for any of the titles, nobody's
- 23:30going to want to fight you, because why would
- 23:32they? Even if you're the best, they don't get
- 23:36anything out of it. They being PBC's fighter
- 23:40or whoever. They're going to have a Zufa title.
- 23:45Yeah. Do you really think Inoue cares about the
- 23:50Zufa title? No. Probably not. I mean, Inoue is
- 23:56too big. That's a bad example. But even the tier
- 24:00below that. Would Janabek care about the Zufa
- 24:05title? No. If they paid Janna back enough, he'd
- 24:10go fight for it. But not because of the title.
- 24:16You know what I mean? Yeah. And I guarantee the
- 24:20belts aren't going to let any of those count
- 24:22as, like, defenses. So you're probably going
- 24:27to lose any other belts you have. Like, if you
- 24:31sign with Zufa, you'll be stripped. They won't
- 24:35make it that obvious, but yes. Or even just,
- 24:41like, let's say they do talk Janovec into fighting...
- 24:45Janovec's not the Zufa guy, but they talk him
- 24:48into fighting somebody for Zufa. The Zufa guy's
- 24:53not gonna count as a title defense, and then
- 24:57he'll get stripped for not fighting. His mandatory
- 25:00or whatever? Yeah, like... They do that shit
- 25:04all the time. One way I could see this work out
- 25:10is if Zufo does what Top Rank did with the WBO,
- 25:16where they established a symbiotic relationship
- 25:20where Top Rank fighters are always fighting for
- 25:26the WBO title. That's unofficially theirs. You
- 25:29know what I mean? Yeah, well, and PBC has the
- 25:32same thing. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. But that's
- 25:36not what's going to happen because Zufa's being
- 25:38dicks about it. Yeah. One thing I have to admit
- 25:46I do like about Zufa is that they're cutting
- 25:48down on the number of weight classes. Oh, are
- 25:53they? Yeah. I don't really care about that. I
- 25:58like it. How many just no junior? Yeah, no juniors
- 26:04or supers. But then you don't have a super fly
- 26:10title. Damn, you're right. Junior Bantam? There's
- 26:21a lot of those turn out to be fun. I just, I
- 26:28don't like anything Zufa's doing. I also don't
- 26:33like them fucking around with the legislature
- 26:36and stuff. That's bullshit. Yeah. Ilhan Omar
- 26:42standing up for fighters at the congressional
- 26:47hearings. Is he? That's good. She, but yes. Ah,
- 26:53sorry. It's alright, I didn't expect you to know.
- 26:57Who she was anyway. Or really, anybody listening?
- 27:00Probably not. I also don't think I heard the
- 27:06first name right then. Because I... Okay. I did
- 27:10hear it right. That sounds like a boy's name
- 27:12to me. Somalia. I don't know. Anyways. Yeah.

- 30:03Time for fucking shit here. Recap shit. Only
- 30:11two, but one of them is pretty big. Really quickly,
- 30:17Tasman Fighters at the Gold Coast Convention
- 30:21Center in Broad Beach, Australia. Terra Moana,
- 30:26first round stoppage, as one would expect. I
- 30:32think they need to start stepping him up a little.
- 30:35Like, don't they? Yeah, I would say so. Like,
- 30:41he's not old, but he's not young. They need to,
- 30:43you know. How old is he? Start going. He's 27.
- 30:52Yeah. Sounds like. I know that's not, like, super
- 30:56old, but. They're trying to pad a record really
- 30:59quick with these first round knockouts of nobodies
- 31:02and then. But does anybody care about that? I
- 31:07don't. No. I don't care if you've knocked over
- 31:1320 cans. If you've fought like 10 good fighters,
- 31:18that's better. He's not getting anything out
- 31:25of these fights. Yeah, I don't think so. This
- 31:27isn't a wealth of experience that he's building
- 31:30up. No, I'm not saying they need to throw him
- 31:33in with contenders or anything, but... How many
- 31:37first round knockouts is that? At least get some
- 31:42rounds. Put in somebody that'll make them fight
- 31:45for six or seven rounds. Jason Maloney gets a
- 31:55stoppage in four. I missed this. Yeah, I just
- 32:00thought I'd mention him because it's the Maloney
- 32:03brother. Yeah. I mean, he needed a get -back
- 32:09fight anyways. He had two losses in a row. Yeah,
- 32:17you gotta get a softer touch there. Yeah, because
- 32:22I don't know who Herlan Gomez is, but I don't
- 32:25recognize him. I've never heard of him either.
- 32:32Jai Obataya. Knock out an 8 over Hussein Kinkara.
- 32:38Jai did not look great, to be honest. But that...
- 32:46Well, the... Sorry, I need to get my thoughts
- 32:50together. His eyes break very easy, Jai Obataya.
- 32:56Because... Did you watch this one? No, not all
- 33:00of it. Just highlights. Okay, so... This one
- 33:04I did... I missed the rest of the card, but I
- 33:07caught the main event. Like, round two or three,
- 33:11Opataya's... I want to say his left eye started
- 33:14swelling really weirdly. Like, you know those
- 33:18great big swellings that you're like, that's
- 33:21not right. That's not just, like, a big bruise.
- 33:25It's not like a... It's a mouse, but, like, a
- 33:28weird one. Yeah. And so he had... Because I looked
- 33:34it up, they both had pretty bad injuries from
- 33:37this one. I mean, obviously, Chinkara's was worse,
- 33:40but... Obataya had, like, cracks in both his
- 33:46eye sockets. Yikes. Some no -name -what's -this
- 33:51-guy -German should not be doing that to you.
- 33:55Wait, in my opinion. If Jai Obataya's as good
- 33:58as he's supposed to be... Some no -name German
- 34:01should not be breaking both your eyes. But, Chinkara
- 34:07was in the hospital for a couple days because
- 34:11he has a crack in his neck vertebrae. Also had
- 34:15a brain bleed. Yeah, that's bad. So, I mean,
- 34:21Obitai hits hard, but he was getting cracked
- 34:24in there. I don't know. This fight was not particularly
- 34:31fun to me, and I don't think Obataya looked that
- 34:36good. The knockout was definitely highlight real
- 34:38craziness, but he was getting touched up pretty
- 34:43bad by some guy I've never heard of. Nothing
- 34:52to add. I don't know. I was not impressed by
- 34:59Opentaya this time. Do better. PBC on Prime in
- 35:09San Antonio, Texas. This was better. Let's see.
- 35:14Isaac Lucero gets a big stoppage in eight over
- 35:18Roberto Valenzuela. Frank Martin over Rancis
- 35:23Bartholomew, KO4. There's some people saying
- 35:27knockout of the year contender. I missed this
- 35:33one because it was early in the morning, but
- 35:35apparently I need to go find it. Knockout of
- 35:39the year contender? Yeah. Crazy. Let me see.
- 35:46I think that was to cap off the prelims. Oh,
- 35:51so that one should be on YouTube. Yes. But that's
- 36:05good, right? Frank Martin. He's back with the
- 36:08stoppage. So, yeah, I guess. But, like, it's
- 36:12Francis Bartholomew. Who really fucking cares?
- 36:16I guess, but... Uh -oh, I'm trying to hype it
- 36:20up. Did you catch Jesus Ramos getting the UD
- 36:28over Shane Mosley? I did. It's a very uninspiring
- 36:32performance. I was not pleased. I thought it
- 36:38was a really fun fight, though. Yes, good back
- 36:41and forth. Shane Mosley showed up, which was
- 36:44nice. He didn't just, like, roll over. Shane
- 36:48Mosley has his dad's chin, for sure. Like, I
- 36:54don't think he's that talented, but he takes
- 36:56an ass kicking so well. It's crazy. Yeah, this
- 37:04is what we can expect from Jesus Robinson. Like,
- 37:06his power didn't carry up, it seems like. Not
- 37:09sure why he moved up. Like, why do you want to
- 37:12be a big fish in a little pond? I mean, did his
- 37:18power not carry, or does Shane Mosley just have
- 37:22a fucking vibranium chin? Shane Mosley's kind
- 37:27of known for taking an ass -kicking. Yes. That's
- 37:32a good question. It also seems like he was having
- 37:38trouble making 154. Because he hasn't in like
- 37:43two years. Has it been that long? Last time he
- 37:50was under 154 for a weigh -in was September 2023.
- 37:57According to BoxRec. He missed it. In May of
- 38:0324. And then he moved up. And then. This must
- 38:07be a catch weight. Or maybe he just missed weight
- 38:10again. But. This. What's the third month? March.
- 38:16He was 155 and three quarters. It's oddly specific.
- 38:24I'm just on box record. But the other guy was
- 38:27154 and a half. So I assume it was a. Catch weight?
- 38:31Non -title fights do have allowances. Okay. It
- 38:37just looks like he's having trouble making 154
- 38:40to me on BoxRec. Like, even going back to 2021
- 38:46and 2022, he was missing by half a pound. Hmm.
- 38:53I'm going to... I think those were also non -title
- 38:57fights, so there was some allowance. But regardless,
- 39:03yeah, he's not making the 154 limit. Hasn't for
- 39:09a very long time. But I don't know if Shane Mosley
- 39:18Jr. is the one that shows you have no power.
- 39:21That's all I'm saying. That's fair. I can get
- 39:26behind that. But this was a fun fight. A lot
- 39:30of, like, inside back and forth fighting. I enjoyed
- 39:34it. Did you enjoy Erislandy Lara getting the
- 39:40UD over Johan Gonzalez? I mean, I enjoyed that
- 39:46the old man won, but that fight wasn't as enjoyable
- 39:50to me. No, it definitely wasn't. Lara definitely
- 39:54looked his age. Yeah, well, he's, what, 42? Yes.
- 40:02I think Laura needs, like, his big payday. Somebody
- 40:07needs to get it for him. Saul was saying that
- 40:16a better replacement for Johnny Beck would have
- 40:20been have Jesus Ramos fill that slot and go for
- 40:24the title. Instead of Johan. Yeah. Yeah, but
- 40:33then what do you do with Shane Mosley? Have him
- 40:37fight Johan. I guess. Fair enough. Or just scrap
- 40:43him entirely. I... Pramos might have beat Old
- 40:51Man Lara. I don't know. You're right. Lara didn't
- 40:54look that good. But he was training for a different
- 40:58fight. So maybe... Also, I don't know who this
- 41:03guy is. Do you know who Johan Gonzalez is? No,
- 41:07never seen him before. And he looked like ass.
- 41:11So, like, maybe it's hard to get tape on him?
- 41:16Which can make you look bad? Could be. So give
- 41:21Lara the benefit of the doubt? I just want the
- 41:25old man to do well. But no, you're right. He
- 41:29didn't look good. I am making excuses. Oh, speaking
- 41:35of making excuses, Stephen Fulton drops the fucking
- 41:40ball. Oshaki Foster beats him to pick up the
- 41:43interim WBC lightweight title, which he subsequently
- 41:49dropped, as mentioned before. Because why was
- 41:53it even on the line? Yeah. Fucking stupid. Yeah,
- 42:00this fight was ass. I don't know what your opinion
- 42:04is, but this was not fun. I was not thrilled
- 42:07seeing Stephen Fulton being beaten to the punch
- 42:11every time. Not having answers for anything.
- 42:17It wasn't fun. I don't know. Stephen Fulton looked
- 42:22bad. Like, as expected when you blow weight like
- 42:27that, but, like, he looked really bad. Yeah.
- 42:32In a way, it kind of maybe broke him. I'm not
- 42:36sure, because when he came back against Brandon
- 42:39Figueroa, he looked fantastic. That's true. I
- 42:45don't know what the fuck happened, but that was
- 42:47a broken man. Like, that was not the Stephen
- 42:51Fulton that we have seen. Right. Oh, Shaki Foster
- 43:01looked pretty good, though. He did. I was very
- 43:05pleased. Even though I was... Also, this new
- 43:10nickname sucks. Or has he always been called
- 43:13Ice Water? I don't know. That's a terrible fucking
- 43:20nickname. I don't think I'd ever heard it before.
- 43:23I think I'd remember because it's stupid. Absolutely
- 43:26stupid. Um, yeah. What would you give him instead?
- 43:35I don't know. Shock. Yeah. Static shock. Electric
- 43:44shock. Did he not used to be shock and awe? I
- 43:49can't recall. I don't know, but Ice Water is
- 43:54just not a cool nickname. Ice, even, would just
- 43:58be better. Or it's combat sports, just water
- 44:02is cooler because of the Bruce Lee quote. But,
- 44:04like, Ice Water is stupid. I would imagine...
- 44:14He's going to be watching the upcoming Navarrete
- 44:18-Nunez fight pretty closely. Yeah. I'm kind of
- 44:26excited for that one, actually. Because he's
- 44:32staying at 130, he said. Which makes sense. I
- 44:35don't know why he wouldn't. He made weight. Who
- 44:44else is at 130 right now? Nav, Nunez, Ray Ford.
- 44:50Jezza Dickens. That's the one I was trying to
- 44:55remember. He's the WBA champ, isn't he? Yeah,
- 44:58yeah. He's got a fight coming up, right, as well?
- 45:03Yeah, I think so. He's fighting. Is he fighting
- 45:08one of the Tsutsumi brothers? I think. On the...
- 45:16Hayato. Yeah, on the Riyadh card. That is such
- 45:25a fucking mid -off. Him and Hayato. I would maybe
- 45:30want to fight whoever wins that. Because I am
- 45:32sure Foster could beat them. I don't think much
- 45:40of either of those guys. I think Nunez is a much
- 45:46harder fight. Nav or Nunez are much harder fights.
- 45:52Yeah. Jazza. Jazza. Fucking Jazza Dickens. Such
- 45:58a stupid name. Anyway, yeah, this fight was also
- 46:04not fun. Just don't bother watching that one.
- 46:07The Foster -Fulton fight. But you know what was
- 46:15kind of fun? Isaac Cruz and Lamont Roach? Yes.
- 46:22It was so fucking dirty. So fucking dirty from
- 46:26both fighters. There was, I feel, actual bad
- 46:30blood on this one. The knockdown, I thought that
- 46:40was going to be the deciding factor because it
- 46:42was pretty, it seemed really competitive. I was
- 46:46having trouble. I don't think a draw is a bad
- 46:51outcome. I know a lot of people were yelling
- 46:54robbery, but I don't think it wasn't robbery.
- 46:57I also don't think Cruz won, but, but like, because
- 47:04there's four rounds I think are clearly Isaac
- 47:06Cruz rounds. There's the... I think he won the
- 47:11first round. Round three was a knockdown. And
- 47:16I think he won round 11 and 12 pretty clearly.
- 47:20And there's swing rounds in the middle there.
- 47:23Like, I think Roach also had four clear rounds,
- 47:26but I don't remember which ones. And Cruz had
- 47:29the point deducted. Which I have no problem with
- 47:33the point being deducted, but... The punch they
- 47:37decided to take a point on is weird and stupid.
- 47:40What did they dock him for again? Hitting in
- 47:43the back. Oh, right. The kidney punches. Yeah,
- 47:50but the one they took it for, Lamont Roach turned.
- 47:54And he had no warnings for that. Just wait until
- 48:00he headbutts him again or something. It was gonna
- 48:03happen. And I have no problem with a point being
- 48:06taken. I just think that was not the reason to
- 48:10do it. Also, some of those low blows that they
- 48:14were complaining and warning about, I don't think
- 48:17they were low. High trunks? Yeah. Well, and Roach
- 48:23had his trunks around his tits. Like... But...
- 48:28I don't know. This was a pretty dirty fight.
- 48:35Pretty controversial. I gotta wonder what's next.
- 48:41Because Isaac Cruz is... He is a one -trick pony.
- 48:46And... He did use a jab in this fight, though.
- 48:51That was shocking, to say the least. Like, Pimple
- 48:58tried to jab. And then he tried to jab with his
- 49:01head a couple times. But, you know. He's learning.
- 49:09But who is at 140 right now? From the top of
- 49:14the list, Teofimo, Subrio Matias, Richardson,
- 49:19Hitchens, Keyshawn Davis, Adam Azeem. That's
- 49:23the top five. I don't see him doing very well
- 49:27against any of them. I guess him and Subriel,
- 49:33Matthias might be a fun fight. Or the winner
- 49:36of that. Yeah. Matthias can fight dirty as well.
- 49:41I don't think... I don't think Cruz is going
- 49:45to bully him or anything. Sandor Martin. Sandor
- 49:53Martin would outpoint Pitbull Cruz. No problem.
- 49:58And then get robbed on the scorecards. As is
- 50:02tradition. As is tradition, yeah. I mean, he
- 50:08could... He's the interim now for Matias. I think
- 50:11that's probably his next fight. Is he mandatory
- 50:17for Matias? Boxing team has him listed as the
- 50:22interim belt holder now. Oh. I thought that was
- 50:26vacant and they were fighting for it. Didn't
- 50:29know Cruz already had it. When the fuck did he
- 50:32win that? Uh, the fight before. Omar Salcido.
- 50:40Okay, I see. They were fighting for it, but Cruz
- 50:46already had it, so he didn't lose it. Yeah. Okay,
- 50:50I just, I am mistaken. I thought it was vacant.
- 50:53So, yeah. No. He's mandatory for Matias. Might
- 50:58as well hold on to it. Well, Matias has his fight.
- 51:03Yeah. So I guess Cruz for the winner of that.
- 51:10I don't interim belts are so fucking stupid.
- 51:14Yeah, they don't seem to actually be a mandatory
- 51:17position. Well, I guess if it was vacant before.
- 51:25Well, it wasn't because this is stupid. Cruz
- 51:30should have been fighting Matias instead of fighting
- 51:32Roach. Yes. Stupid. So, like, how is Dalton Smith
- 51:43the mandatory over the interim title holder?
- 51:49Well, he shouldn't be. Yeah. That's stupid. Okay.
- 51:56What 40s kind of... Heating up a little bit,
- 52:00though. Like, I'm excited for Gar versus Hirooka.
- 52:08I think that's going to be a really good fight.
- 52:11I think that's going to be exciting. Has Gary
- 52:15Antoine Russell slowed down enough for the young
- 52:18guy to take advantage of it is kind of what I
- 52:21think that's going to come down to. I don't think
- 52:25that... I don't... I don't see a lot of avenues
- 52:29for Hirooka, unfortunately. No, I don't either.
- 52:33I don't think he's really ready for this. No.
- 52:36But, maybe. I mean, I'm not mad that they gave
- 52:42him the chance. I just don't think he's ready.
- 52:46And then, I want somebody to beat Hitchens. I
- 52:48don't like him. I don't know anyone who really...
- 52:52There's only one person who does. Someone in
- 52:54Discord. I don't remember who. but there's like
- 52:58one Hitchens fan. It's kind of weird. That is
- 53:05a weird choice. Anyways, I want him to lose his
- 53:10belt, so somebody needs to take care of that.
- 53:16And then... Tiafimo's the other belt holder?
- 53:21I didn't know Tiafimo had a belt. WBO. Crazy.
- 53:31Anyways. Yeah, I know this fight was really controversial,
- 53:38but I didn't really see the controversy. I thought
- 53:40a draw was fine. The other card, the non -draw
- 53:46card, was fucking madness, I guess, is part of
- 53:49it. Because they had Cruz winning eight rounds
- 53:53to four? I believe so. That's fucking madness.
- 54:02Anyways, Lamont Roach should still get, well,
- 54:05Tank's crash out, but he should still get his
- 54:10Tank rematch. Who were they saying Tank is going
- 54:15to come back against? I don't remember. I do
- 54:19know that his lawsuit stuff got dropped because
- 54:22they couldn't get the security footage. Yeah,
- 54:26I saw that as well. Forgot to put that in the
- 54:29news. But also I don't like talking about that.
- 54:33Fucking domestic abuser. Fucking attacking strippers.
- 54:40It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter why. That's
- 54:44just stupid. That's it for the recap shit. The
- 54:57upcoming shit. Wednesday, December 17th, No Limit
- 55:05Boxing at the TikTok Entertainment Center in
- 55:10Sydney, Australia. Just gonna say the fucking
- 55:14depressing name. Yeah. A bunch of shit on here.
- 55:19Only two fights to point out. Sam Goodman vs.
- 55:22Tyler Blizzard. Team Blizzard all the way. Yeah,
- 55:27I don't think he has a hope in hell, but... Team
- 55:30Blizzard all the way. And Tim Zhu versus Anthony
- 55:34Velasquez. Which one is Velasquez? I don't know.
- 55:42I've never seen him before. Yeah, I don't think
- 55:48I have either. Which is probably a good thing
- 55:52for Tim Zhu right now, to be honest. Yeah. That's
- 55:58weird. Tim Zhu's... how what's his record 25
- 56:02and three yeah but those three losses all came
- 56:06all at once recently you know what i was mistaking
- 56:12him i don't know why for nikita what yeah don't
- 56:18ask why i don't know um but tim zoo yeah uh wrong
- 56:22zoo that's really bad leo yeah pretty don't know
- 56:29how i got that mixed up but yeah this is definitely
- 56:31a good comeback uh he's moving up to middleweight
- 56:34i'm kind of excited to see what the cuban trainer
- 56:39has done yeah me too i i am intrigued i guess
- 56:44i should say maybe excited's the wrong word but
- 56:46i don't think so i i i have no idea uh what tim's
- 56:53gonna look like this fight So I kind of hope
- 56:56it goes a few rounds at least. I want to see
- 57:00the new and improved Cuban Timzu. Timoteo. But
- 57:10that's it for the No Limit card. Anthony Velasquez
- 57:15has a fun nickname. He's the ATV. What? ATV?
- 57:25Yeah. What? His initials, yeah, AV, no shit.
- 57:32Yeah, but all -terrain vehicle, like a four -wheeler?
- 57:35Yes. It's fun. I like it. Never heard that one
- 57:41before, so that's good. Points for a unique name.
- 57:50Taken at the Sumo Arena. Yeah. In Sumida, Tokyo.
- 58:00I didn't realize it was in a... Anyway, that
- 58:04doesn't matter. I'm excited. My ticket comes
- 58:07today. The undercard's actually pretty decent,
- 58:12too. Is it? Yeah. For a Wednesday. Which, why
- 58:17the fuck is this on a Wednesday? Good question.
- 58:21I gotta ditch out of work. It's not like a holiday
- 58:24or anything. I gotta leave work early and hope
- 58:27my boss doesn't notice. Tsuyoshi Nishimoto versus
- 58:34Yu Izaki. Yeah, I don't know either of these
- 58:38guys. Akui, the next fight up. Seigo, Yuri, Akui,
- 58:46and Vincent LaCarre. Akui's fun. Like, very Japanese
- 58:52style. Against some Filipino guy I've never heard
- 58:56of. So that should be fireworks. I'm assuming.
- 59:03Kiyosuke Takami versus Rene Santiago. Didn't
- 59:06Santiago just fight somebody? Yeah. He just fought
- 59:13Iwata. And won. So. Yeah, I don't know who's
- 59:21going to win this one, to be honest. This should
- 59:24be a pretty close fight, I think. Never seen
- 59:28Takami, so I can't really say. Yeah, he's pretty
- 59:34young, I think. 23. I'm pretty sure I saw him
- 59:41in Yokohama. Against... Eric Rosa? Yeah. She's
- 59:50been in Korakuen Hall the entire time. Yeah,
- 59:57no, this was the Taraji loss. The card Taraji
- 1:00:01lost on and Higa drew. So, anyways, I think this
- 1:00:09should be a fun fight. Anthony Olaskwaga versus
- 1:00:16Taku Kuwahara. For the WBO Flyweight title. I
- 1:00:22think Ola Squaga should win this one pretty easily.
- 1:00:29I don't know about Kuwahara, so I couldn't say.
- 1:00:32He lost to Akui on an Inoue fight card, I think.
- 1:00:43Yeah, yeah. The Neri card. Anyways, I think Ola
- 1:00:51Squaga should win this one pretty handily. Maybe
- 1:00:55even a knockout. Damn. I like Ola Squaga though,
- 1:01:05so I'm a little biased. Don't let your bias weigh
- 1:01:10too heavily here. Seiya Tsutsumi versus Nonito
- 1:01:13Donair. I don't really have a bias in this one.
- 1:01:17I like both of them. But Tsutsumi should win.
- 1:01:20I mean... Yeah, you'd think. He should. He should
- 1:01:25just outwork him. I suspect this one might be
- 1:01:28a knockout too. Like an accumulation style knockout.
- 1:01:33Donair is old. He's in his 40s, right? Yeah,
- 1:01:40he's 43. 43? And fighting at 118 pounds. It's
- 1:01:50crazy. Very. I mean, Donair really should retire.
- 1:02:00But I'm excited I get to see him live. I know
- 1:02:03it's kind of like old man shadow of what he used
- 1:02:05to be. But I will be able to say I saw Donair
- 1:02:09fight live, which is fun. Yeah, it would be good
- 1:02:16to catch him before he rides off into the sunset.
- 1:02:21Yeah. Now, if he somehow manages to land a crazy
- 1:02:26left hook, I'm going to be so sad. But I'm thinking
- 1:02:34chances are pretty small. Moving to the MVP card,
- 1:02:43which will be on Netflix. At the Kaseya Center
- 1:02:46in Miami, Florida. Nice. Anderson Silva versus
- 1:02:53Tyron Woodley. That's fun. Is it? I don't know.
- 1:03:00I guess. I don't see the point, but... Getting
- 1:03:07them paid? I mean, Silva should win that pretty
- 1:03:12easy, right? Yeah, you'd think. That's what I
- 1:03:15would expect. Moving up the bill, some shit I
- 1:03:23don't really care about. Caroline Dubois, WBC
- 1:03:28lightweight champion versus Camila Panata. It's
- 1:03:32good to see Caroline back. It's been a while,
- 1:03:36I think. Has it? Maybe I just missed it. No,
- 1:03:42it has not. She's fought twice. this year. Never
- 1:03:46mind. That's fun. This one should be fun. Like,
- 1:03:59for a women's fight, this should be high action.
- 1:04:05Oh, look at Bustillo's picture on BoxRec. It
- 1:04:12looks like a 90s album cover. Yeah, it looks
- 1:04:16like a glamour shot. Yeah, Shania Twain had this
- 1:04:19picture on one of her country albums. I'm 90
- 1:04:23% sure. Sharnika Johnson versus Amanda Gaia.
- 1:04:36Neeks. Is this a... I don't know. It's three
- 1:04:43of the four belts. I was going to say, is this
- 1:04:45an Undisputed? But it's not. It is. Oh, right.
- 1:04:51Yeah, and they're bullshit. Petty ass. Alicia
- 1:05:00Baumgartner versus Leila Boudoin? Boudoin? Bedouin?
- 1:05:07Bedouin? It's a lot better than what I got. I
- 1:05:15mean, there's probably a French pronunciation
- 1:05:19that I can't do, but people around home say Bedouin.
- 1:05:25Three of four titles on the line here. WBC is
- 1:05:28currently vacant. I mean, this is some random
- 1:05:33Canadian. She's gonna get wrecked. Yeah, Baumgartner's
- 1:05:39a beast, so. Yeah. Well, and any time they throw
- 1:05:44these random Canadians into title fights like
- 1:05:48this, they're such mismatches. This is going
- 1:05:54to be stupid. I'm pretty sure. Well, speaking
- 1:06:01of stupid, Jake Paul versus Anthony Joshua. Okay.
- 1:06:07At what point do you lose all respect for Joshua
- 1:06:11if Jake Paul is still standing? I give him four
- 1:06:17rounds. Four? That's kind of where I was leaning
- 1:06:21as well. I think it should be faster than that.
- 1:06:24I think this should be a Francis and Gano type
- 1:06:26fight. Yes. But, like, if it goes past five rounds,
- 1:06:33four rounds... Fuck AJ. AJ is washed. If that
- 1:06:40happens. Best case scenario, he's, like, carrying
- 1:06:45it for views or whatever. But, like, just go
- 1:06:54in and knock him the fuck out. Don't embarrass
- 1:06:57us. I'll have the memes Locked and loaded. Jake
- 1:07:08Paul Mafia. Yeah. I might have to stay off Discord
- 1:07:14for this one. No, I won't. No, I won't. So are
- 1:07:25we writing off Jake Paul completely? I mean,
- 1:07:29I am. Are you not? I can only go with, like,
- 1:07:38a lucky puncher's chance. But Jake Paul's not
- 1:07:43even a puncher. Yeah, I know. So those chances
- 1:07:46are really slim. AJ's chin is cracked, I guess.
- 1:07:52But, like, in all honesty, if Jake Paul lands
- 1:07:55clean on AJ, knock him out or not, I lose respect
- 1:07:59for AJ. Like, is it just stupid? It's a no -win
- 1:08:05situation for AJ? I mean, he's getting paid a
- 1:08:10shit ton of money. So. But, yeah, if he doesn't
- 1:08:16knock him out cold in, like, the first three
- 1:08:19rounds, it's stupid. How many rounds would it
- 1:08:28take? Of Jake Paul. Surviving. Maybe not thriving.
- 1:08:34But at least surviving. Where you would give
- 1:08:37him some props. Kind of like an inverse of the
- 1:08:41AJ question. Yeah. Okay. Like surviving. And
- 1:08:48it looking like AJ. Is not carrying him. Any
- 1:08:52rounds. But I'm just going to assume. That AJ
- 1:08:55is just not. Not trying. Trying? Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:09:00I don't think Jake Paul can impress me in this
- 1:09:04fight at all. Unless he comes in and knocks out
- 1:09:08AJ and it looks convincing. But, I mean, if he
- 1:09:14does that, boxing is dead. If he does that, boxing
- 1:09:21is dead. Hmm. Two really quick ones. The WBC
- 1:09:30Grand Prix finals are upon us. I have not been
- 1:09:35watching. I haven't either. Saturday, December
- 1:09:3820th. I'm disowned. I don't recognize. Oh, Derek
- 1:09:44Palmer Lou. I recognize. And Dillian Biggs. Yeah,
- 1:09:54I'm sure I'm. ruining this guy's name too. All
- 1:09:57the boxers are from Quebec. Fucking ridiculous.
- 1:10:03No, they have a better BF to look up to. That's
- 1:10:09true. And a Billy. Two good Canadians. Yeah.
- 1:10:18Let's see here. The heavyweight final between
- 1:10:21Kevin Ramirez and Ahmed Kernjik. Krnjic? K -R
- 1:10:29-N -J -I -C. Whatever that is. The featherweight
- 1:10:36final, Muhammad Kamili versus Brandon Mejia.
- 1:10:42The super lightweight final, Mujabilo Tursunov
- 1:10:47versus Carlos Utria. And middleweight final,
- 1:10:51Derek Pomerleau versus Dylan Biggs. There you
- 1:10:57go. Yeah, I don't know who any of these people
- 1:11:02are, except the last one, but should be good.
- 1:11:09I mean, they all had to win, what, four fights?
- 1:11:13Five fights to get here? Yeah, I think four.
- 1:11:20And another one on the same day, Salida, also
- 1:11:24on DAZN. There's a bunch of shit on here that
- 1:11:27I don't care about, and it's just Tony Harrison
- 1:11:30versus Brian Chavez. Tony Harrison looks like
- 1:11:37he's from Detroit, Michigan. Yeah, I don't know
- 1:11:43who these two people are either, to be honest.
- 1:11:47You've seen Tony Harrison before. His fight against
- 1:11:52Tim Zhu, Jermell Charlo. Okay. Fought Jarrett
- 1:11:59Hurd a while ago. Oh, he beat Jermel Charlo.
- 1:12:05Interesting. He beat him the first time. Yeah.
- 1:12:09Got knocked out the second time. Alright. Yeah.
- 1:12:16I didn't recognize his box rec pitcher. That's
- 1:12:25all we got though. It's not bad, though, for
- 1:12:29December. Mid -December, things usually are kind
- 1:12:32of slow. Yeah. But there's stuff coming up. Hold
- 1:12:38on. Let me do the fucking shit here. What if

- 1:15:44Saturday. Parting words. Don't forget to finish
- 1:15:53your Christmas shopping. I think I might go check
- 1:15:56out the Christmas market here this weekend. My
- 1:16:00Christmas shopping is all fucked and nobody's
- 1:16:03getting anything until sometime in February probably,
- 1:16:06but you know. Yours doesn't have to be. Oh, also,
- 1:16:16I know I complained to you already, Leo, but
- 1:16:18I bought the new t -shirt for Tsutsumi and he
- 1:16:22just announced that his next one is a Peanuts
- 1:16:24collaboration. And I'm so pissed off. Hands up.
- 1:16:29What the F? Yeah, I might have to buy a third
- 1:16:34shirt. It just might happen. He's got a little
- 1:16:38Peanuts guy with the belt and it's definitely
- 1:16:43ripping off... With the blanket and the belt.
- 1:16:51Anyways, it's pretty cute. I think he saw your
- 1:16:56cheeseburger and got inspired. I did give him
- 1:17:02a sticker when I met him. Has he figured out
- 1:17:08what to do with it yet? I have not seen it stuck
- 1:17:11on any water bottles or anything. He probably
- 1:17:14threw it out, but... He was doing another restaurant
- 1:17:26collaboration, but this time he was a chef at
- 1:17:30the fancy French restaurant somewhere. I forget
- 1:17:34where. So he would cook your food for you. Wow.
- 1:17:39Yeah. He's got some skills. I thought it was
- 1:17:43pretty cool. Let's see. I'm going to call back
- 1:17:50to when I used to do it more often, but here's
- 1:17:53a quote from Muhammad Ali. I hated every minute
- 1:17:56of training, but I said, don't quit. Suffer now
- 1:17:59and live the rest of your life as a champion.
- 1:18:04And get Parkinson's. Sorry, I was uncalled for.
- 1:18:13Happens with boxing. Yeah. That's it, though,
- 1:18:19for this edition of Boxing Before Dark. We'll
- 1:18:22fucking see you on the other side of Jake Paul
- 1:18:24annihilating Anthony Joshua. Boxing is dead.
