The B -Side in boxing. B -Side shit. B -Side.
0:04
B -Side. And the B -Side. You got a B -Side.
0:06
The B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. The B
0:10
-Side thing. This is the B -Sides Boxing Podcast.
0:20
Alright, let's fucking get into this. Weird picks
0:23
are Martin Castaño, actually. I got Martin Castaño
0:25
for... For Brian Castaño. He got fat as fuck
0:32
in between his first fight with Charlo and the
0:34
second. I would choose a burger, man. Oh, you're
0:37
right. How much booze does he need as a chaser
0:41
for it, though? The chaser's crazy. As a chaser
0:45
for a fucking burger? That's fucking nuts. Some
0:51
people need a chaser for a chaser, though. Let's
0:55
start. Yeah, let's get into this. Holy shit.
1:00
Boxing B -sides. It is a loaded room today. What
1:06
is all this burger talk? What is that? You're
1:10
going to have to go to Patreon to find out. Because
1:13
there's just way too much of that that's not
1:18
going to make it to the public release. Joined
1:22
by the homies, Josh, Saul. Got that. Learn his
1:26
real name. Learn his real name on the Patreon.
1:29
Yeah, I'll cut that out. And we got a special
1:34
special guest. Isaac from The Ultimate Fucking
1:39
Casuals. Yo, yo. This is like the Riyadh season
1:44
of podcasts. Yeah. They really got the guy from
1:49
the other side of the street coming. It's been
1:53
imported. Imported, yeah. Turkey a la chic paid
1:57
for him to be here. Cross -platform. It's casuals
2:01
versus B -sides, 2v2. Alright. So, since we have
2:10
one of the ultimate fucking casuals here, some
2:13
MMA coming up this weekend, if you are of the
2:16
persuasion. UFC 319 at the United Center in Chicago.
2:23
Uh, Isaac, what, other than the main event, which
2:26
one, which fight are you, uh, most looking forward
2:29
to on this, on the card? All right. Hold on.
2:34
I have, uh, I made, like, a special, like, boxing
2:38
fan guide. I've been starting to do it for, like,
2:41
pay -per -views. That's more fun than I've ever
2:43
done for one of these. Yeah. I, uh, you know,
2:46
because I understand sometimes, you know, people
2:48
don't want to see, like, uh, grappling in some
2:50
fights. I understand it. So I've made an official
2:53
guide for UFC 319. Basically, one of the big
2:57
fights that I feel is just sort of guaranteed
3:00
to be a banger. Jeff Neal versus Carlos Pratesh.
3:02
Jeff Neal is sort of like a veteran and he's
3:05
a hard -hitting veteran. Carlos Pratesh is like
3:09
this up -and -coming prospect who we've seen
3:11
recently have heavy hands himself. I feel like
3:15
this fight is just guaranteed to end in knockouts.
3:17
I mean, they're both stand -up strikers. I mean,
3:19
you know, they're always going forward, super
3:21
aggressive. So I feel like that's just guaranteed
3:23
to be a banger. A few others on the list. Tim
3:26
Elliott versus Kai Sakura. Kai Sakura is another
3:29
one of the Japanese dudes that they brought in.
3:32
He sort of got fed to the champion, Pantoja.
3:35
But, you know, this is his comeback fight, you
3:38
know, and Tim Elliott's not a scrub. So, you
3:39
know, I could see this being a decent scrub on
3:41
the feet. Another one, Edson Barbosa. You know,
3:45
he's got a little bit of the big boxing. Yeah,
3:48
yeah, that was Chief's favorite. But, yeah, Edson
3:52
Barbarossa versus Jakar Close. And then Brian
3:55
Battle versus Nur Sultan. Now, Brian Battle,
3:58
it's not going to be, like, super technical striking.
4:01
Like, he has negative head movement. So it will
4:05
be, like, a nice, like, stand -up striking fight.
4:09
You know, other fights that could potentially
4:11
be good, Jared Cannoneer versus Michael Venom
4:14
Page. Michael Venom Page, I believe, did a few
4:16
kickboxing fights. And Jared Kennedy, he's in
4:20
his 40s, but he's been hanging around sort of
4:22
like as a gatekeeper. But yeah, I think that
4:25
could be a good fight. And then King Green versus
4:26
Diego Ferreira. I think that could also be a
4:30
good fight. That's a little scrap, but yeah.
4:32
If you don't want to watch grappling, I perhaps
4:35
wouldn't recommend the main event, but it will
4:37
be exciting. I can say that the first round is
4:40
going to be super chaotic. I'm really excited
4:42
for UFC 319. If nothing else, you could watch
4:46
King Green and expect... You could bet on a knockout.
4:51
Yeah. Absolutely bet on a knockout. King Green
4:55
could go down another nasty one. Yeah. It's happened
4:59
a few times. But there you have it. That's the
5:04
Boxing Fan's Guide to UFC 319. We don't have
5:11
news on this one, but tune in next week. And
5:15
we do have a lot of shit to talk about. That's
5:19
in the news. Ali Yakt. Tank gets his charges
5:24
dropped. Among other things. Let's get into our
5:31
recaps here. Now, starting with Saturday, August
5:37
2nd. Golden Boy at the University of Illinois.
5:41
in Chicago. Saul, how excited are you for Joshua
5:47
Edwards with another Dynamite KO? I thought it
5:51
was every time he fights and every time I see
5:53
the same exact thing. He is the last bastion
5:55
of hope for the American heavyweight boxing.
5:58
I think that he is going to go far and I'm excited
6:01
to see where he's going to go next. You think
6:04
he's the bastion of hope over... Now that the
6:07
Titanweight... type of guys are starting to kind
6:10
of fade off into the sunset you don't think like
6:13
uh richard torres maybe dude the thing is rich
6:17
torres i think rich torres could be a good contender
6:19
the only the only problem with rich torres is
6:21
that he doesn't have as much skill as i could
6:24
see uh joshua edwards having and i could already
6:28
tell that joshua edwards uh in terms of skill
6:31
is already miles ahead of rich torres doesn't
6:34
matter right like rich torres i love rich torres
6:36
you know i'll always follow his career you know
6:37
he's He's one of our people, you know, but it's
6:39
just, I do think that Joshua Edwards does have
6:44
the goods and kind of passes the eye test as
6:46
well. Yeah, I've been pretty impressed with everything
6:52
that I've seen from him so far. He's been, yeah,
6:57
Last Bastion, we'll see, but he is definitely
7:02
like the premier hope for American heavyweights
7:06
right now. I mean, we only have him, Rick Torres,
7:11
Darrell Miller, Michael Hunter, Jared Anderson.
7:15
Michael Hunter? When was the last time Michael
7:17
Hunter fought? I'm not sure about Michael Hunter.
7:21
No, but we've got news on him, too. Yeah. He's
7:27
coming. Yeah, he's fighting, what's his face?
7:31
Pulev. Kubrat Pulev? Okay, bro. yeah that's he
7:39
is yeah i'm not joking he actually is no no i'm
7:42
not saying that as like i don't believe you i'm
7:44
saying that as like are we really saying kubrat's
7:46
a name to get back into contention dude apparently
7:49
the state of heavyweight it might be that's true
7:53
actually retires and vacates i believe like i'm
7:58
not exactly sure how it would work but i think
8:00
like as it is right now pula would be upgraded
8:03
to a full champ No, that'd be Chisora. That'd
8:07
be Chisora. Is Pulep not holding the belt? No,
8:13
let me find him. For the IBF, right? Probably.
8:17
IBF rankings. I got you. I'm pretty sure Parker
8:23
is the VO. So for the IBF, there's no number
8:29
one contender. There's no mandatory. Derek Chisora
8:32
is the top contender. Remember Chisora beat Pulev?
8:40
I think Kyle Bighton has the WBC interim. Chisora,
8:47
Jagba, Sanchez, Joshua, Itama, and then Hunter
8:52
at 7. That is nuts. Richard Torres at 8. Daniel
9:04
Dubois at 9, Anderson at 10, Bacoli at 11, and
9:09
then I don't care. Lawrence Bacoli at 15, but
9:16
the only thing he deserves are 15 baseball bats
9:20
to the knees. Quadruple bypasses. Give him 15
9:24
quadruple bypass burgers. Regardless, yes. Joshua
9:31
Edwards is... I don't know, man. I feel like
9:34
we got to really get behind him. We got to really
9:37
get behind him. He's our best hope, I feel like.
9:39
Yeah, he is. Oh, yeah, for sure. Let's move up.
9:47
Skip Tristan Calcutta. And Regis Progray gets
9:54
the UD over Jojo Diaz. Now, Jojo Diaz gave a
9:59
pretty good accounting of himself despite losing.
10:04
Josh, is that a testament to Jojo Diaz still
10:09
having it or Regis Progray being fucking hot
10:11
garbage? Okay, man. I'm a Regis defender, actually.
10:18
But man, Regis needs to go back to crashing golf
10:24
carts. The way Jojo, who has never had power
10:28
in his life, Jojo Diaz lands like, Well, clean
10:34
right hands on Devin Haney and can't even shake
10:36
him. And he's putting Progray on skates repeatedly.
10:39
Like, nah. This isn't... I don't think Progray
10:46
is going to go out pretty. If he gets another
10:50
shot. Yeah. Dude, I was trying to tell people
10:54
in the lead -up that this was going to be a good
10:56
fight. This is an old man's fight. Yeah, it's
11:00
an old man fight, but it did end up being a little
11:02
bit of a war there. I mean, JoJo somehow at super
11:05
lightweight was still managing to hurt Regis.
11:09
Fucking Regis. That was surprising, to say the
11:12
least. Yeah. Like, bro, just like Regis, seeing
11:19
Regis on skates like that's a little sad. Yeah,
11:23
I mean, we had like the little, you know, the
11:26
tea leaves were there whenever Haney dropped
11:28
them. That's true, actually. The tea leaves were
11:31
there. Yeah, I mean, if Haney dropped him, it
11:34
makes sense that JoJo dropped him. Almost. Yeah.
11:38
Not dropped him yet, you know. Bust. You know
11:41
what I mean. Got close. Oh, man. With this win,
11:49
does JoJo Diaz continue to be, I don't know,
11:53
something? What do you mean something? Like something
11:59
in the prison system or something? Something
12:01
of a name, I guess. Golden Boy needs who they
12:07
can have. I mean, Golden Boy needs all the names
12:10
they can get. True. Even if the notoriety is
12:15
from criminal activities at this point. Yeah,
12:19
they're desperate. I mean, they will take a nonce,
12:22
honestly. Like, they'll probably build up another
12:25
prospect to, like, 15 -0 and feed, like, JoJo
12:30
to them eventually. I'm surprised that Progre
12:34
was even on this card. I mean, he's a maximum
12:36
fighter. I don't know why they would... Wow.
12:38
Is he still? Are you sure, right? I thought he
12:44
moved over to Goldenboy. Yeah, I was about to
12:46
say, like, he totally... Like, for sure, after
12:49
Jack had a roll... And Devin Haney smoked him
12:53
back to back. Yeah, that's pretty sad. Honestly,
12:58
if you go to Golden Boy at that point in your
13:01
career, yeah, that's pretty cooked. You guys
13:04
see Jack Ketterl's threatening the fight again?
13:08
Yeah. He's been threatening the fight again.
13:12
I mean, I do feel threatened myself. I'm like,
13:16
do I really want to see that? No. I'll watch
13:21
it. I'll watch it because there's nothing on.
13:25
And I have to do some prep for these podcasts.
13:32
What could be next for Regis? Crashing a go -kart.
13:41
Main event, Oscar Duarte? Kenny Sims? A nice
13:49
little scrap. Yeah, I liked it. It was a lot
13:52
of fun. Yeah, it was better than I thought it
13:55
was going to be. I thought Duarte was possibly
13:57
going to get him out of there. But Sims, and
14:00
he had some nice counters. I mean, his boxing
14:03
was really good. If he actually had power, Duarte
14:06
could have been in some issues during that fight.
14:10
Alas. Alas. I will say that Duarte, I feel like
14:16
I don't want to... Dog on Duarte. I know he's
14:18
a hard hitter, but at the same time, I don't
14:19
really think he's a knockout artist when he kind
14:22
of moves up against top -level opponents, you
14:25
know? He's one of those nutting volume types.
14:29
Yeah. He just doesn't have the placement or the
14:33
sharpness to really get in there against the
14:35
better guy. And you can see it. Yeah. I think
14:42
he loses to the other champs. Like, I think Hitchens
14:45
probably outboxes him. Yeah. You know what? Matias
14:52
Duarte is a fun -ass fight, though. Same with
14:56
Cuello. Cuello is also fun. Yeah. At this point,
15:02
though, I feel like he probably deserves a title
15:04
shot, though. He's gathered a few wins. I disagree.
15:08
I don't think he deserves a title shot yet. You
15:09
don't think he deserves it? It's still a tough
15:12
division. You need a win against a guy who...
15:17
actually belongs near the top instead of... I
15:20
would say fight him versus Barboza first. True,
15:23
actually. That's a good show. From there, you'll
15:27
see if he's ready for a title shot or not. I
15:30
would say. Hell, have him fight Pueyo. Pueyo
15:33
just lost. Yeah, but Pueyo's a PBC fighter, so
15:36
that's a much harder fight to make. I would say
15:39
Barboza. Where's Sandor Barboza? Yeah, that's
15:43
true. I think that's a dumb fight to make, honestly.
15:46
Nah, don't punish us with Sandor. Yeah. Well,
15:50
I don't know. Martin versus Quayle was actually...
15:53
That was a good fight. Yeah, actually. Well,
15:56
it was a good fight, but what I mean by that
15:58
is I don't think he's going to win at all. Unless
16:01
they rob Sandor again, but... Oh, three times?
16:04
He's already used to it. Yeah, he's already used
16:06
to it. Might as well rob his ass again. Can you
16:10
do anything? Don't do my man Sandor like that.
16:14
Not again. Not again. Not again. What about Kenny
16:22
Sims? Where does he go from here? Because this
16:24
was a really competitive fight. I don't think
16:28
he should be written off as a nobody or like
16:31
a loser. Probably Probox. Yo, that's actually
16:37
good. That's a good show. Fully honestly, probably
16:39
Probox. Just for a nice little rebuild. Stick
16:45
around on the Provox circuit, have a couple fun
16:48
nights, and you're back on it for a chance to
16:51
actually make it work. Yeah, when a fighter doesn't
16:54
have a fight, a top -level fighter is lacking
16:58
some good opponents, you'll be pulled in, and
17:00
that's your biggest shot. We've seen a lot of
17:03
Provox alumni make the most of their chances.
17:08
Oh, yeah. It's good. Speaking of making the most
17:15
of one's chances, moving to Marv Nation. Quickly,
17:22
Jerwin on Cajas gets the majority decision over
17:25
Ruben Casero. I don't know why Jerwin is at 122
17:30
now. He wasn't a whole lot at 118. He was solid
17:36
at 115, but... Just age, man. I suppose. But
17:42
making the most of a chance, Gabe Rosado gets
17:45
the stoppage in one over Crispulo Andino. Something
17:52
fun about this one. Gabe Rosado came into this
17:55
26 -17 -1. And Andino also 26 -17 -1. It's a
18:03
really selective, very pointedly chosen opponent.
18:11
A future Berlanga opponent right here. A future
18:16
Canelo opponent, honestly. At this point. Oh,
18:20
man. You know what? Make Rosado Berlanga. To
18:27
be the king of Puerto Rico? Hell yeah. I feel
18:32
like they're both about as bad. I mean, Gabe
18:39
Rosado does have an experience. I mean, there's
18:40
that, you know? Yeah. So. It's something like
18:46
175, though. I don't know if Gabe Rosado would
18:49
want to go back to 168. I think Berlanga's willing
18:55
to just, like, a fat fuck and make 175, like...
18:59
Quadruple ass burger. Berlanga, like... Let's
19:06
not treat Berlanga like a serious contender.
19:09
That's a fun event that's realistic for both
19:12
guys to do. Berlanga is not serious. He can totally
19:16
bounce between weight classes. I'm glad he could.
19:25
I think Gabe Rosado should stop fighting. I'm
19:28
not sure why he came back. It's not like... You
19:34
come back to fight on MarvNation, it's like you're
19:37
not... This isn't, like, Riyadh season money.
19:43
MarvNation money? That check is bouncing, most
19:47
likely, for the first of all. Like, the five
19:52
guys they gave you at the venue after your fight
19:55
is what you're getting paid. And maybe a shower.
20:01
Nah, yeah, that came out of your bill, your fighter
20:04
fees. Yeah, it was a hot shower, so you should...
20:08
Cold shower? Yeah, we can give you change for
20:13
the bus home. Hot shower? Not happening. So...
20:21
Yeah, I don't know. I think I read something
20:25
about there being a... him chasing a Berlanga
20:28
fight, which... As sad as it is, it's realistic
20:32
and also it'd be hilarious if Berlanga got knocked
20:34
out by Gabe Rosado. Fuck it, Gabe Rosado versus
20:38
Jake Paul. Not terrible. Not terrible, and I
20:43
also have Jake Paul winning that because Gabe
20:46
Rosado is not only not great, but he is also
20:49
ancient. He's old school. It does get Gabe Rosado
20:54
paid. This is true. Berlanga and Jake Paul paydays
21:00
back to back. Fair enough, man. That's something
21:04
you could fuck off into the sunset with. Yeah.
21:10
Hopefully, anyway. Man, that's all we got for
21:17
our recaps. It was light. Let me toss some notes
21:24

24:53
Between habitat loss, climate change, and pesticides,
24:57
it's a fucking bummer. Without them, our world

lot less delicious. But there is good news. Support

that fun? Into our previews. Two, quickly, ProBox.
26:04
This will be on YouTube. It's free. If you're
26:07
not watching ProBox, you fucking should be. It's
26:10
like the only good boxing on nowadays. Yeah,
26:14
you don't necessarily know who any of these people
26:17
are. If you're going into this blind, it's fine.
26:21
You're going to get some good matchups. Competitive
26:24
fights, if nothing else. There's going to be
26:26
a lot of competitive fights. Two guys that are
26:30
on here. Dominic and Marquez Valle, both of them
26:34
are a Pro Box alum, and they're decent. William
26:40
Foster in the main event versus Muhammad Kuja
26:45
Yakubov. This is a bit of a deep cut, but how
26:51
familiar are you guys with Nation of Islam? Not
27:01
at all. That's fine. Malcolm X. Right. So in
27:07
the Nation of Islam sort of creation myth...
27:12
Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Sorry. I thought
27:14
you were talking... Yeah, Yakub. Yeah, yeah.
27:17
The guy who did the white race. The evil demigod
27:20
that created white people is Yakub. So this guy's
27:25
name is Yakubov. So he's the son of Yakub. he's
27:30
a son of yeah interesting so uh this does not
27:34
reflect lux media's you know stances or opinions
27:38
or anything like that uh it's just that's nation
27:41
of islam man that's how they get down i don't
27:44
know man i've watched enough british boxing white
27:46
people might actually be the devil white people
27:50
might actually be the devil if you watch enough
27:53
british boxing I had to watch a Campbell hat
27:56
and co -main in my lifetime. White people might
28:01
be the devil. This is how we're going to get
28:03
popular. It's going to get canceled. Left -wing
28:07
grifting. But there you go. That's the main event,
28:14
is the son of Yakub. And William Foster. And
28:18
William Foster. Also... It's on the same day.
28:23
The time will offset enough that you could catch
28:26
both main events. 360 promotions. This is on,
28:30
for some fucking reason, this is on UFC Fight
28:33
Pass. I don't know why. Oh, my God. Oh, who's
28:38
their promoter? It might be that Loeffler dude.
28:40
Yeah, it's Tom Loeffler. Oh, yeah, 360, 360.
28:42
360 promotions. Yeah, yeah. You're right. Sorry,
28:46
buddy. I'm not getting Fight Pass just for you.
28:50
So there's a bunch of shit on here I don't really
28:53
care about. Moving up to the co -main, Omar Trinidad.
28:57
He's one of their better prospects, and that's
29:01
a very generous use of the term better prospect.
29:05
But he's fighting Lorenzo Parra. So isn't that
29:11
fun? It's a WBC something or other on the line
29:15
here. Trinket, trinket. Continental America's
29:21
featherweight. Wonderful. In the main event,
29:26
Mizuki Hiruta is fighting Naomi Gomez. Mizuki,
29:33
if nothing else, expect some fun ring attire,
29:37
walkout attire. Yeah. She's like high fashion,
29:41
fast fat, or not fast, but high fashion. Has
29:47
like a benefactor. That's. Really. A high level
29:53
designer. But. The main reason we're here. Saturday
30:02
August 16th. Starts about midday. For some fucking
30:07
reason. DAZN is making this a pay per view. In
30:10
the US. I am. I'm very unhappy. I'm really disappointed
30:21
that this is a pay -per -view. It has some good
30:24
names on it, make no mistake, but is this pay
30:29
-per -view worthy? Absolutely not. No, no, no,
30:34
no way. Dude, this is UFC pay -per -view worthy.
30:39
This is, yeah, this is not pay -per -view worthy,
30:43
really. Ah, no, I think if Isaac cares about
30:47
the sport, he'd admit that UFC pay -per -views
30:49
have been a sham. Yeah, $80, bro? Yeah, like,
30:52
come on. Every single time. Every single time,
30:56
$80. Come on. Have some respect, bro. Anyways,
31:02
on to the fights. Yeah, starting from the bottom,
31:06
Hayato Tsutsumi, he's one of his fucksalencies
31:12
favorites. versus Kais Ashvak. This is a feeding.
31:21
That's a feeding, by the way. Tsutsumi's going
31:23
to absolutely destroy Ashvak. Yeah, that's the
31:26
plan. Yeah. Not a feeding. Maybe not. Filip Hergovich
31:34
versus David Adelaide. I hope to God they look
31:40
interested. Like, if they show up, like, both
31:44
uninterested this is going to be a very smelly
31:47
fight yeah when i was talking to shinada i said
31:50
this one this fight is dancing on the the edge
31:54
of a like a edge of a blade this could either
31:57
go this could be they're both just shitty enough
32:02
and the styles match up well enough that this
32:05
is going to be really fucking exciting or it's
32:09
going to be hot garbage Yeah, like Rock 'em Sock
32:13
'em Robots or like No One's Punching Anyone.
32:18
I'm really thinking it's going to end up being
32:20
like No One's Punching Anyone. Yeah, Hergovich
32:24
is going to show up like 20 pounds overweight
32:26
and just wheeze his way to a decision. That's
32:32
not the official prediction. That's like the
32:34
worst outcome. Yeah. I'm hopeful that it'll be.
32:39
That Hergovich will make it fun. Adelaide can
32:41
be drawn into some brawls. So, yeah, I'm hopeful.
32:48
I remember when Philip Hergovich was touted as
32:51
the boogeyman. Oh, yeah. He was the next Bushko,
32:56
bro. This is the issue as well. Did he not say
33:00
he would retire if he lost to Dubois? Did he
33:03
not say that? Did he? I say it all the time.
33:05
Herkovich says a lot of things, and then... I
33:12
feel like I have to lean Herkovich in this fight,
33:15
but I don't know. Yeah, you just have to lean
33:18
Herkovich, because Adelai's out here getting
33:21
fucking raffle stomped by Fabio Wardley. Was
33:25
it TKV he had fights with too, no? Or who was
33:28
it? He's out here getting violated by Fabio Wardley,
33:32
and then like... Technically, Hergovich only
33:35
ever lost to Dubois. World -level contender.
33:40
World -ish level contender. Two bums? Two bums.
33:45
Two bums. Nah, two bums was Hergovich's last
33:48
fight where he showed up at like 250 to go try
33:52
to be slower than Joe Joyce. That's actually
33:56
crazy. They looked about the same speed, which
33:59
was like, come on, man. How is that possible?
34:03
Because Joe Joyce is comically slow. Joe Joyce
34:07
was, like, birthed in a tub of molasses. Like,
34:13
that's what I mean. Moving up, Ray Ford versus
34:22
Abraham Nova. I'm actually pretty excited for
34:27
this. Yeah, this is going to be a good fight.
34:28
This is a good fight. this is a really good fight
34:31
for for ford and no novice by the way by the
34:36
way we do have to say kakachi straight up duck
34:40
uh raymond ford straight up dog i mean he at
34:43
least he vacated but this is a complete duck
34:45
yeah but yeah yeah i'm still excited for this
34:52
one though i'm still excited yeah no no was it
34:54
nova's not terrible either like he's a good good
34:57
selling contender His walkout will be fun. Oh,
35:01
yeah. I think Raymond Ford's going to take it,
35:04
though. Oh, Ford's going to take it for sure.
35:06
Even his fight with Nick Ball, you can probably
35:09
shade it his way, too. Raymond Ford is a bit
35:15
of a deceptive record in the sense that he's
35:18
absolutely at the top of his division. He just
35:22
got a couple bad shakes in his career. He's fourth
35:26
on box rec. For whatever that counts. Oh. You're
35:32
lying. Moving up. Nick Ball. Second on BoxRec.
35:41
I believe he's the WBA Titleist. He's fighting
35:48
Sam Goodman out of Australia. Undefeated Sam
35:53
Goodman. This isn't going to go good for... old
35:56
Sammy boy here. I will say, I would love Sam
36:02
Goodman to win. That would be hilarious. The
36:04
thing is, Australian champion Nick Ball, I think
36:11
it'd be way funnier if Inoue or Nakatani moved
36:15
up and fought Nick Ball and sent his head into
36:19
the third row. Yeah, but I mean, I want to see
36:25
Nick Ball lose a title no matter what, just because
36:27
right now there's no risk. Yeah, but like a shitty
36:31
decision to Sam Goodman or like Inouye sending
36:34
his head into the third row. Whatever, he takes
36:36
away the title, honestly. Oh, my God. I mean,
36:39
this is the UK's only champ. This is really the
36:42
UK's only champ. Oh, you're right, actually.
36:43
Actually, never mind. I take that back. If he's
36:46
the UK's only champ, then get rid of that title.
36:48
They've had an active champion for the last,
36:51
like, 30 or 40 years. Just consistently breaking
36:56
this streak. I want Sam Goodman to fucking break
36:59
that streak. That would just be too funny. We're
37:01
pulling for Sam Goodman. Lux Media is behind
37:07
Sam Goodman. Let's go, Goodman. Moving up to
37:14
the main event, Moses Itauma. versus Dillian
37:19
White. This is probably the shittiest fight on
37:22
this card. When was the last time Dillian White
37:26
was in shape? And I can tell you. I can tell
37:28
you. Teta, bro. That was barely. No, in shape?
37:34
I don't know if Teta was in shape. I guess round
37:36
is a shape. Yeah. Nah, he pulled up to the first
37:41
Povetkin fight in shape. The one where he got...
37:45
We saw what happened there, yeah. Yeah, I know.
37:47
He looked so good. He does the first time I've
37:50
ever seen him, like, box without looking like
37:53
he was going to, like, jump out of the ring.
37:56
And he fucking lost. And it was so funny. The
38:02
funniest shit I've ever seen. The first time
38:04
he actually looked competent in my life. I'm
38:08
pretty sure he knows his role, but it would be
38:10
funny if, you know, I hate to say it, but it
38:13
would be pretty funny if Moses Atomic gets knocked
38:15
out by fucking Dillian White. Dillian White left
38:18
hook. It's like, it destroys the UK's boxing
38:22
hopes for the future. Yeah, bro. Dave Allen.
38:26
Dave Allen is now your top heavyweight. I mean,
38:30
imagine Nick Ball and Moe Zaitama losing one
38:32
night. Dave Allen is now your best heavyweight.
38:38
God bless. That is dire straits. I mean, Bond's
38:45
playing a dangerous game here, you know? It's
38:48
not dangerous. Dillian White, come on. Like,
38:51
I, like, unless Itama is, like, a complete fraud,
38:54
like, he should, like, this should not even be
38:56
a question. Itama should get him out. He is a
39:02
name, because I think Dillian White, you said
39:03
Dillian White was ranked what earlier? He fought
39:06
Tyson Fury as a mandatory. Like, he's still ranked
39:10
well in, like, fifth to tenth. But, like, this
39:16
guy has never looked good. He looked good in
39:19
his life once, and he lost. Uppercut. The uppercut.
39:25
And then it took, like, it took COVID to be able
39:29
to beat Povetkin. Man. So, what round range are
39:41
you giving to Tom of the Win? I'm going to say
39:45
in four. What are you saying? I'm saying four
39:54
to six, so not because of, like, anything on
39:58
White or Atama's part. I'm saying that White
40:01
is totally going to, like, do the usual, like,
40:05
I grab onto the ropes for dear life. I headbutt
40:08
you. Like. Grimy. Yeah, like the usual roughhouse
40:14
shit to make it that far. Four to six range.
40:19
Honestly, I think he's going to get him out within
40:21
two rounds. That too. That might happen too.
40:25
I'm being slightly more conservative. I think
40:29
it'll be quick. Real quick though. Imagine if
40:33
White manages to beat Atama. What happens then?
40:38
I think he's going to get in the ring and shoot
40:40
him. I piss myself laughing. I mean, because,
40:44
bro, the UK has no one. If that happens. It's
40:48
all up to Dave Allen to beat McAuliffe and get
40:52
in the fucking mix. The savior of the heavyweight
40:58
division, 24 -7 -2 Dave Allen. That's crazy.
41:05
Guy who lost to David Price, Dave Allen. I mean,
41:12
Isaac, what are you saying that you thought Dillian
41:15
White does have a chance to get out? I've never,
41:19
never, never said those words in my life. You
41:22
said it, bro. No, no. No, Isaac didn't say it.
41:27
Saul said it. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You
41:31
just said, wouldn't it be funny if he did it?
41:33
Well, I'm saying, wouldn't it be funny? Not like...
41:36
He's going to do it. Like, wouldn't it be funny
41:38
if fucking Jared Anderson came back and became
41:40
the heavyweight champion of the world and then
41:42
fought Deontay Wilder and became undisputed?
41:44
Therefore, Deontay Wilder is the best champion
41:46
we've ever had? I mean, come on. That would be
41:49
funny. It's not going to happen. Jesus. You know
41:54
what? Let's do weight predictions. Do we think
41:56
Dillian White shows up under or over 260 pounds?
42:02
I'm going under. Yeah, I think under, he actually
42:05
looks a little bit more fit. He does. According
42:08
to the videos. Is he wearing a black t -shirt
42:12
and he's got the lighting and everything? No,
42:15
I think he was shirtless in one of them. Nice.
42:18
Y 'all ever see that video of him when he was
42:24
at one of the Riaj season cards where his trainer
42:28
gives him way too much water? No. What? Oh, fuck.
42:34
I got a point. It's so funny. What, he starts
42:38
coughing? Yeah, he starts, like, spitting out
42:41
the water. Yeah, Dillian White versus water.
42:47
I'll send it. It's in the chat. This is what
42:54
I think of other than the Povetkin knockout.
43:09
Oh, he gets so upset. He's so upset. He's so
43:14
fucking mad. Guys, sorry, that's the only Dillian
43:22
White highlight in the past, like, five years.
43:32
Sorry. No, that happened in 2019. There are no
43:34
Dillian White highlights in the past five years.
43:38
I don't know. I think the Povetkin. Alright,
43:43
we're still a week off of that being five years
43:44
ago. The Fury. The Fury fight as well. The Southpaw
43:50
stance. The Southpaw coming out with a card.
43:57
Okay, we'll see you later. That fight was hilarious.
44:00
Bro, the Jermaine Franklin fight was hilarious.
44:02
He's, like, dying. Buddy McGirt's like, you need
44:04
to throw even more volume and even more body
44:07
shots. And Dillian's just, like, wheezing and
44:11
dying in his corner. Buddy McGirt must have been
44:15
fuming, bro. Buddy McGirt's like, bro, you need
44:17
to throw more punches. And, like, Dillian, notorious,
44:20
like, this guy does no cardio ever. He's like,
44:23
come on, bro. Derek James. James. Honestly, I
44:33
don't think there's any trainer who can fix him.
44:37
I got it. I know. Robert Garcia can get him right.
44:42
If anyone can. God, I guess. It's too late. It's
44:48
too late. Yeah, Robert Garcia gets him and he
44:53
becomes vintage Marcos Maidana at heavyweight.
44:59
You never know, guys. You never know. 92 punches
45:01
in a round. Only for, like, two rounds. Two?
45:11
Hey, you know what? What if Dylan White beat
45:14
Itama, then he got a shot at interim, became
45:18
the mandatory, and then fought Usyk, beat Usyk,
45:21
boom! Dylan White's the undisputed heavyweight
45:24
champion in the world. I think Derek Chisora
45:29
beats Dillian White right now, dude. If they
45:36
make that damn trilogy, it's literally just two
45:39
old men fighting over the last cup of pudding
45:43
at their retirement home, dude. Those aren't
45:49
the gum shields. Those are dentures being taken
45:51
out. Christ, man. What is the state of heavyweight?
46:00
We're talking about a hyped prospect, and we're
46:03
like, what if he loses to Dillian White? Never,
46:07
never. Yeah, like I said. Were people like this
46:13
when he fought Anthony Joshua? Guys, what if
46:17
he lost to Dillian White? AJ was still really
46:23
young at the time. That's true. Exactly. Like,
46:27
what if people were like this back then? I guess
46:32
white was still considered okay back then, actually.
46:35
That's a bad comparison. It's a little ridiculous
46:41
nowadays because, like, come on, bro. I've seen
46:46
teenagers on, like, Street Beefs who would be
46:48
dillying white right now. But, um... What's next
46:56
for Atama if he beats... Oh, sorry. When he beats
46:59
White. If. If. Sorry. Freudian slip. When. Who's
47:08
next? Is Atama... Is he Queensberry or Matchroom?
47:18
Queensberry. Queensberry. He's with Frank Warren.
47:23
Old fish eyes. Honestly, I think I want to give
47:32
Lawrence a Coley. I want to put a Coley out to
47:34
pasture. That would be lovely. If Atama completely
47:40
obliterates Dillian White in less than two rounds,
47:43
just give him a Coley, put a Coley out to pasture,
47:46
and then you have a pretty perfect rankings position.
47:52
Michael Hunter. That's assuming Michael Hunter
47:58
wants to get off his couch the box for someone
48:00
other than Don King. Yeah, I mean, he's got that
48:04
fight booked now, apparently. Don King announces.
48:13
I'm not really sure. Murat Gassiev? Murat Gassiev.
48:24
We were still talking about Gassiev in the big
48:26
2025. Oh, come on, bro. I was actually hyped
48:29
for Gassiev. And then he decided to be a fat
48:32
fuck and eat for five years. Okay. Okay. That
48:39
shit killed me. At Cruiserweight, like, okay.
48:43
Getting owned by Usyk is not like... No shame.
48:48
Like any kind of disqualifier for still being
48:51
good. If you actually watch the Super Series,
48:55
like, obliterating Lebedev and Dorticos, he looked
48:59
really good. Man. He looked so good. Like, the
49:07
Usyk fight? Whatever, bro. Usyk literally beats
49:10
everyone. And Gassi have actually hurt Usyk barely
49:16
for, like, three seconds, but that's still better
49:19
than most people. So, took Tyson Fury two fucking
49:26
tries to hurt him. But yeah, and then he just
49:33
got fat. He's done jack shit. Losing to Otto
49:42
Wallen, that fight was sad to watch. I was like,
49:44
any second now, he's just going to kill Wallen,
49:47
and he just never did. Yeah, he's expecting that
49:52
power to show back up. Because he still has it.
49:55
He shows up to all of his fights as a fat piece
49:58
of shit and just casually knocks them out and
50:00
leaves probably for another round at the buffet
50:02
before it closes. It's a little sad. It's more
50:14
than a little sad. I really like the ass he is.
50:22
Oh, well, that's... That is just me. Nah, it
50:28
wasn't just you. I was on the Gassi of Train
50:30
as well. Yeah. No, then it's just you too, then.
50:35
It's just us, then. Okay, it's just us. It's
50:38
just us, man. Me and Isaac are on that Zurdo.
50:41
On that Zurdo one. Right now, yeah. I'm trying
50:46
to think of... Let me see who was in that Super
50:48
Series. Boxing Super Series Cruiserweight. Let
50:54
me see. I want to see it. Zerda would actually
50:59
beat Marco Huck, I think. Prime Huck or Super
51:07
Series? The Marco Huck that showed up to the
51:10
Super Series. But I don't think he'd beat anyone
51:13
else. Are you just pro -Grey? Yeah, I'm talking
51:21
about... Because it was, like, you have Usyk,
51:24
Maris Bredis, Dortikos, Gassiev. And I can't
51:29
pronounce his name, but he just won the Bridgerweight
51:31
title at, like, age... Kudryashov or some shit?
51:35
Or, uh, Vlad Jarzyk. Yeah. Well, anything more
51:45
for Atalma, Billy, and White? Let's go with the
51:51
lead one! That would be too funny. We will be
51:56
paying for this. Totally. Of course. They will
52:01
be sucking the money out of my ass like always.
52:05
I'd rather buy this pay -per -view than a fucking
52:07
UFC pay -per -view. Sorry, Isaac. I don't think
52:11
Isaac disagrees, man. Yeah, I've been hyper with
52:15
someone for some time now. Fuck Isaacs. I feel
52:19
like Isaac has some self -respect here, man.
52:23
Well, I think Tom is going to have to be the
52:25
sacrificial goat. Or sacrificial lamb. For what?
52:32
So the British boxing scene can be dead. Oh,
52:37
yeah. We got to get rid of Nick Ball. Nick Ball's
52:41
got to go first, bro. No, he's got to go for
52:43
sure. Baby steps. All right, let me do this.
52:50

54:01
All right. So we're heading into Atalma Dillian
54:06
White Weekend. Parting words. Saul, kick us off
54:09
here. I'm kind of shitting and giggling. I have
54:13
nothing against British boxers. Whoever wins
54:15
will win. I'll be happy if Sam Goodman wins because
54:18
that would be kind of funny. But Nick Ball is
54:20
still a decent fighter. Mosai Tama, again, as
54:24
much as I bullshit around, I do want him to win.
54:26
I think that he's a great fighter and he's important
54:29
for the heavyweight division in the future. And
54:30
I'm glad we have these killers, these young killers.
54:33
These young, hungry... Young, hungry lions. Josh,
54:43
what do you got? Provock's good. Is that it?
54:49
Classic. A classic, yes. Yeah. Isaac, you want
54:52
to throw anything out? Yeah, I'm just looking
54:55
forward to, you know, this weekend of fights.
54:57
Nick Ball, Sam Goodman. We'll see what happens
55:00
after UK can hold on to that win streak or champion
55:03
streak. Ford versus Nova. I'm excited. And then,
55:07
yeah, finally, with Otama, like Saul was saying,
55:10
I think he's good for the division. I hope they
55:13
can get that win. All right. That's it for this
55:19
edition of the Boxing B -Sides. We'll see you
55:22
on the other side.
