- 0:00The B -Side in boxing. B -Side shit. B -Side.
- 0:04B -Side. And the B -Side. You got a B -Side.
- 0:06The B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. That
- 0:10B -Side thing. This is the B -Sides Boxing Podcast.
- 0:21Alright, ready? Alright, I'm ready. Alright.
- 0:25Ready? Boxing B -Sides. Back up in your ears.
- 0:35Joined by the one and only Alex. Do you remember
- 0:38why I keep saying that? Why do you say that?
- 0:43Oh, because the first time you were ever on,
- 0:45you said the one and only. That's how you introduce
- 0:49yourself. I don't think we have any other Alex's
- 0:54in our network. He is the one and only Alex.
- 0:59Once you bring in another Alex, then he's no
- 1:01longer the one and only Alex. I'm only one. He's
- 1:05one of the only Alexes at that point. The OG.
- 1:11The OG Alex, exactly. It's like Jake from State
- 1:14Farm. And Josh, out on the East Coast. How are
- 1:23you living? Living good, watching Provox. Provox
- 1:29is good. Oh, it's a good name. Before we started,
- 1:36Alex, you had posed the question, or you wanted
- 1:39to pose the question of how does paying fighters
- 1:42too much have a negative impact on the sport?
- 1:46Yeah, I wanted to say, because I kind of forgot
- 1:49about saying last week, but I think paying fighters
- 1:52too much kind of takes the fire out of them.
- 1:55If you give them retirement money, they're just
- 1:57going to be, Giving you retirement fights, if
- 1:59that makes any sense. Yeah, that does make sense.
- 2:03So, Turkey overpaying fighters, which is ludicrous.
- 2:07I don't want to say, I don't want to be a UFC
- 2:10stan and say like, oh, they should pay their
- 2:13fighters $100 ,000 and $50 ,000 if they win.
- 2:16No, no, no, no, no. I don't like that at all.
- 2:18However, paying a fighter like Ryan, how much
- 2:22was Ryan getting paid? Like $30 million? I don't
- 2:26know if you guys know how much he got paid. He
- 2:28got paid a lot, right? Too much. Too much. We
- 2:31know he got paid too much. Yes, that's it. He
- 2:33just got paid way too much. And lost to Rowley.
- 2:35Like, 20. He got paid 20 dollars to lose to Rowley,
- 2:39who is a fucking, a PBC fighter. Again. Rowley
- 2:43won on a DAZN card when he was a PBC fighter.
- 2:47That's crazy. You know, something that happened
- 2:49when PBC first started and they had that huge
- 2:53angel funding. from the venture venture capitalist
- 2:57firm i think it's like william morris or something
- 3:00like that but they they would pay fighters a
- 3:06healthy amount like the type the kind of money
- 3:08that they're still getting paid today and i remember
- 3:11a lot of people bitching like uh they're overpaying
- 3:15fighters and they're do they're doing exactly
- 3:17what you were saying like you're giving them
- 3:19retirement money that they're going to give you
- 3:21retirement fights yeah and then Eddie Hearn and
- 3:26his DAZN fucking war chest comes in and starts
- 3:32doing it as well. Considerably more money than
- 3:36PBC ever did. But that time, everybody was like,
- 3:42oh, look, he's such a brilliant businessman.
- 3:45If you pay fighters what they're worth, they're
- 3:47going to give you their best. Where's the consistency
- 3:52here? I don't know. And then Turkey comes along
- 3:56and pays a fighter fucking oil money and bill
- 4:00off the fucking Texas Flames. Blood money. The
- 4:03difference is, like, with the guys like Farmer
- 4:08and Andrade, like, the factor, it's only like
- 4:11a factor of 10 at most. Like, instead of making
- 4:15$100 ,000 at the most, they're making a million,
- 4:18which is like... You're still way overpaying
- 4:20these guys, but they're not stars and it's not
- 4:22noticeable. But a guy like Ryan Garcia who's
- 4:26in the millions and you start giving him tens
- 4:28of millions and these guys already have ego issues.
- 4:33Eddie Hearn fucked it over. The reason why nobody
- 4:38says shit to Turkey is because they also want
- 4:39a payday too. So fuck all the other partners
- 4:41as well. You'll notice when Turkey starts paying
- 4:46us because we're going to kiss his ass. It'll
- 4:50be a sharp, sharp turn. Yeah. Like, listen, man,
- 4:55if you want to wire me a million bucks, Turkey,
- 4:57like, you can pay me enough. You can pay me,
- 5:03but I ain't going to suck your dick. I will.
- 5:07I'm the opposite. I will suck the money out of
- 5:09your ass if it's enough. I agree. I agree. I
- 5:17was going to say, we're not in a bargaining position
- 5:20here. We got it. Let's move into the recaps.
- 5:25Fucking Queensberry. I only watched one of these,
- 5:29and it was on May 10th. Anthony Caccacci stops
- 5:33Lee Wood. It was a corner stoppage. A towel came
- 5:39in. Yeah. Yeah. It was fun. But it was... Kakach
- 5:46is on that... Kakach is on that tour beating
- 5:48up all the, like, DAZN Brits. Yeah. I'm gonna
- 5:56say this right now to the people listening. I'm
- 5:58not gonna be talking much because I missed...
- 5:59I missed a lot of the boxing this weekend, unfortunately.
- 6:03So, you guys are blessed to not hear a lot from
- 6:05me. Damn it. Yeah, I mean, he beat Cordina Warrington
- 6:09and now Wood, and it's like... All three of these
- 6:13guys were washed. But also, Kakashi's kind of
- 6:16washed because he is 36 at super featherweight.
- 6:20That's old. That's fucking old. I don't know.
- 6:26Who does he fight next? Because he could totally
- 6:29fight Navarrete or Oshaki Foster, but okay. Yeah.
- 6:36I don't see him doing... Why go through the other
- 6:41guys at super featherweight? You don't have...
- 6:43Oh, he has the IBO title. Fucking excuse me.
- 6:46I think he should just keep... These guys are
- 6:51still world -ranked, but keep beating the domestic
- 6:54guys. The title will come up for you, hopefully,
- 6:57before you retire, and you get your shot that
- 7:00way. Instead of, let me fight an actual dangerous,
- 7:06dangerous titleist. Like Oshaki Foster. Oshaki
- 7:16Foster is very dangerous, man. I agree. Yeah,
- 7:19that's dangerous, especially for an old... I
- 7:24think Nick Paul's ass. I think Espinoza has ass.
- 7:27I think Angelo's ass. Oshaki Foster is the prime
- 7:32126 fighter. It's Superfeather. Superfeather.
- 7:36Superfeather. It's 130. We're at 130. Oh, sorry,
- 7:39130, 130. I better take that back. 130, Oshagie
- 7:43Foster is the best. Also, I am definitely not
- 7:46being sponsored by Riyad to say this. Is Oshagie
- 7:51Foster a Riyad guy? I don't think so. I know
- 7:56Raymond. Ray Ford probably is. Yeah, Ray Ford
- 8:00is. They definitely won't be. I'm just picking
- 8:04up my ass right now. I don't know. Moving to
- 8:12Pro Box Good. Only one I watched was Erickson
- 8:18Lubin. Stops RGL Holmes in the 11th. Man, I was
- 8:23kind of high on RGL Holmes. I was thinking he
- 8:26was going to... I said he can make it grimy.
- 8:31And he did. But... That was still pretty hard
- 8:36to watch. Like, he didn't really seem too interested
- 8:39in engaging and more than clinching. Yeah. I
- 8:46mean, Lubin got it done, though. He did. That's,
- 8:51like, there's the Pro Box guarantee. Lubin wasn't
- 8:56going to settle for that win. You make it or
- 9:00you break it. Yeah. Especially Lubin totally
- 9:04needed that. The inactivity wasn't great for
- 9:10him. He's only 29, which is really surprising.
- 9:14It feels like he's been around forever. He kind
- 9:17of has been. He got sent to space in 2017 against
- 9:22Charlo. Got the fucking Christ beaten out of
- 9:27him in 22. Lubin really lubed up his career today.
- 9:32He's still around. I think, like, honestly, like,
- 9:36as much as I'll cry about Lubin robbing Ramos,
- 9:40Jesus Ramos, like, he's still in there. He's
- 9:45definitely not beating a top guy, but, like,
- 9:47you know, if Xander Zayas wants, like, that real
- 9:52floor raiser. He wants some serious smoke, not
- 9:57just the top right protection. Yeah, like. Like,
- 10:01Lubin's totally, like, a free, like, not free
- 10:05in regards of, like, a free win, but free in
- 10:08terms of, like, the schedule lines up, the money
- 10:12lines up, and, like, there's no promotional issues
- 10:15in the way. That fight's never going to happen.
- 10:20I can dream. I think it'd be good for Zayas.
- 10:24Or if Lubin just is him at the age of 29. Like...
- 10:31Sure. Why not? Why not? What else is he going
- 10:36to do other than beat up the poor Probox guys?
- 10:40Or get beaten up by a Probox guy who turns out
- 10:43to be fucking amazing. Who knows? He could also
- 10:47fight Charles Conwell. Actually, I wouldn't mind
- 10:50a rematch with Fandora. That fight was pretty
- 10:52fun. Do you want to see Lubin get his face rearranged
- 10:57again? I mean, he knocked Fundora down with a
- 11:01fucking great shot. Like, it's not like Fundora's
- 11:05invincible. True. Yeah, that's true. Like, I'm
- 11:10sure if Lubin gets hit even slightly less, it's
- 11:14still more of a fight. Because I'm like, I don't
- 11:19think Fundora's fixed many of his problems either.
- 11:27What else is next? This one. This one. I'm sure
- 11:44Sebastian Garcia is still around. It's too older,
- 11:51guys. Yeah. Ray Murataya, UD over Zaur Abdullayev.
- 12:05I'm on the Ray Murataya train. Yeah. Fantastic.
- 12:13Hey, Murataya's been good. He's Mexican. Yeah.
- 12:18He's been good. I don't think there's... Are
- 12:23there guys that lightweight for him to step up
- 12:25against? Not named Shakur. Or Tank. If they want
- 12:35to do a fight with... He's a top -ranked guy,
- 12:38though. Keyshawn Davis. Yeah, well... I think
- 12:44Keyshawn beats him, though. Yeah. If they want
- 12:49a lot of money, they can have Keyshawn versus...
- 12:50versus Raymond. And they can have Tank versus
- 12:55Shakur, and the winner of those two fights is
- 12:58Fight Pro Disputed. God. God. Shakur, Tank. But
- 13:02that will never happen. Yeah, no. Who knows,
- 13:05man? Turkey might make his action figures. No.
- 13:10Right again. But Tank's not doing that shit.
- 13:14Yeah. Yeah, very much. Very much for Murataya.
- 13:22He's kind of got to sit still and wait for things
- 13:24to sort themselves out. He's going to have to
- 13:27cross the street to get some of the better fights.
- 13:31Yep. Or move up. Yeah. Because it's kind of tied
- 13:37up. The names at the very top of the division
- 13:41are definitely a tough ask. Because it's Kishan,
- 13:49Tank, and Shakur. Lamont Roach is up there. Hey,
- 13:53you know what? If Roach, when, you know what?
- 13:55No, not if. When Roach loses the tank, then we
- 14:00can have a Murataya Roach and that'd be good.
- 14:05You think that Roach loses the tank again? What?
- 14:11You think that Roach loses the tank in the rematch?
- 14:14I think he does. I think tank adjusts. Roach
- 14:17also, I don't doubt that Roach hasn't been training
- 14:20exactly the most, considering he's still on his
- 14:23victory lap tour after drawing with Tank. That's
- 14:29why I think they haven't made the fight yet.
- 14:30It's because Tank's waiting it out. Tank's probably
- 14:32been training. Tank's definitely been training.
- 14:35If he's not in trouble, he's training. That's
- 14:39usually how it's been. Yeah, but like roach has
- 14:43been like drinking at NBA games and shit and
- 14:45just showing up to like like he's made a lot
- 14:47of public Appearances he's been partying in public
- 14:49a lot. So I Think we'll see we'll run Sure, we'll
- 14:56enter thing. Yeah No, no Well, I mean it's it's
- 15:02the tanks benefit to do the rematch sooner than
- 15:05later because you don't let roach get back into
- 15:06that training rhythm but that's a That's more
- 15:09politics than boxing, really. Yeah. Emmanuel
- 15:14Navarrete versus Charlie Suarez. First question.
- 15:23Was it a headbutt? Was it a punch? We saw the
- 15:27video. It was a punch. Yeah. Okay, good. It was
- 15:31a punch. No, but, like, you don't even need,
- 15:33like, the zoom in angle. Like, you could see
- 15:35it. Like, in front of the referee. A punch land
- 15:39and he starts bleeding. I remember this one day
- 15:43where Josh actually said that it's different
- 15:46being ringside and different being a judge. Yeah.
- 15:50I'm playing devil's advocate now. That's like
- 15:53Josh did with Ting. I'm sick of Navarrete though.
- 15:58He keeps getting these fucking bailouts every
- 16:01time. He should have been stopped with Liam Wilson.
- 16:08Like, conveniently, he got enough of a rest for
- 16:11a bailout. The draw with Konsei Sao was a pretty
- 16:15lucky bailout. Didn't get bailed out versus Berencik.
- 16:20No, he didn't. Berencik. I don't think he could
- 16:24have bailed him out there. And even then, some
- 16:26of the scores were a little tight. The split
- 16:29decision. Yeah. So, like, they tried. Like, he's
- 16:34been under the top -ranked protection program.
- 16:38His first title fight was against Isaac Dogme.
- 16:42I remember the broadcast. I remember the color
- 16:45commentary. The color commentary for that fight,
- 16:48they were talking about Dogme spars his dad and
- 16:50his brother and his cousin. That's how he trains.
- 16:53No, this guy's peak top -ranked protection program.
- 16:57Like, bro, there's no way. Like, Liam Wilson,
- 17:00like, the Liam Wilson one drove me nuts. Because,
- 17:03like, you literally gave him enough time to recover
- 17:05after Liam Wilson would just... beating the piss
- 17:08out of him. You beat the shit out of Valdez?
- 17:12No. I'll give him that. Actually, I will give
- 17:15him that one. I'm not gonna cape for Valdez either.
- 17:19But, like, there's been so many, like, sketchy
- 17:22calls and, like, funny matchmaking that's gone
- 17:25never its way that, like, come on, man. It happened
- 17:28again. See you, Kim, Mr. Kirk. Fuck. No, bro,
- 17:34I just... He's also a super feather. Maybe 130.
- 17:41Look at the 130 names. You know what? You know,
- 17:45Shecky Foster and Kakash. Ray Ford, if you really.
- 17:49I don't know if he moves up. Keep doing it. I'm
- 17:55just, I don't want to see never. I need never
- 17:59to just, like, not have a controversy. What about
- 18:06him making weight? Yeah, that too. Actually,
- 18:10the Liam Wilson fight also had some sketchy shit
- 18:13with the weight. Liam Wilson, if you look at
- 18:17Liam Wilson's weights, he always weighs in right
- 18:21at the limit, right? He weighed in at 126 for
- 18:25a fight at 130. Meanwhile, Navarette weighed
- 18:30in right under 130, just right at the limit.
- 18:35Lee Wilson has never weighed 126 pounds in his
- 18:37life. So that was the... There's my rant about
- 18:45never. There's my top -ranked protection program
- 18:47conspiracy. You think the Liam Wilson scale was
- 18:51fiddled? It was fiddled. It had to have been.
- 18:57Liam Wilson has never weighed 126 pounds in his
- 19:00life. And conveniently, he chooses to, like,
- 19:03conveniently, he shows up at 126 pounds, like,
- 19:07the same day that Navarrete, like, barely squeezes
- 19:10under the scales. He's also a fucking weight
- 19:13bully, too. I bet you, I'm hearing to you, he's,
- 19:15like, 160, dude. Yeah. Well, like, he's been
- 19:19looking fat lately, too, which is, like, how
- 19:21do you look fat? Like, how do you show up to
- 19:23fight? Like, you show up emaciated to the weigh
- 19:26-in, and then you show up kind of chubby the
- 19:27next day. Crazy. I don't know how the fuck you
- 19:30eat that. Like, I was gonna say, like, even guys
- 19:33like Rowley, like, I've seen Rowley show up at
- 19:35180 for a fight at 135, but, like, he's still
- 19:38got his six -pack, right? Like, he's not fat.
- 19:43He's just heavy. He's just heavy? Like, yeah,
- 19:48he's... Rowley's a mad weight bully, but also,
- 19:50like, I have no idea how bad Navarrete does it,
- 19:54where he has actual, like, love handles. Yeah,
- 19:58he did in this fight. I couldn't stop looking
- 20:02at him. It's so frustrating because you're like,
- 20:09this guy is kind of stinky. If he had different
- 20:14matchmaking, he probably still wouldn't have
- 20:19a world title. Why do you think he's being protected
- 20:22by top rank? Let's ask that question. He's a
- 20:26Mexican fighter in the lower weight classes.
- 20:29And top rank doesn't have many. Especially at
- 20:33the time he came around. Like, if you look, if
- 20:38you remember his fights, his fight with, uh,
- 20:40Isaac Dogway, like, basically, they had him and
- 20:44Valdez for lower weight class, like, Latin American
- 20:49fighters. That was really, yeah, you're right.
- 20:54Because, like, they didn't really... Because,
- 20:56like, yeah, like, you can technically say guys
- 20:59like Burchelt were around, but, like, Burchelt
- 21:01wasn't really a super top -ranked aligned one.
- 21:08Yeah. Like, you have Valdez and you have Navarrete
- 21:11when they built him. And even now, like, yeah,
- 21:14they have Moritaya and everything, but, like,
- 21:16Navarrete still sells tickets. Somewhat, yeah.
- 21:20So... People still tune in. Like, clearly there's
- 21:23a monetary incentive to keeping him in world
- 21:26title business. But also, like, I just, like,
- 21:31I just think he also just has really good luck
- 21:35that, like, there's been so many opportunities
- 21:38for him to just, like, he gets that nod. Because
- 21:43it can't all have been blatant corruption, right?
- 21:47There's some incompetence in there, too. You
- 21:51also might be favored by God. Yeah. He's got
- 21:54the heavenly mandate to hold on to the WBO forever.
- 21:59Gross. Gross. Charlie Suarez should have won
- 22:04that fight. Literally fucking punched him in
- 22:07the face. Whatever. They'll probably run it back
- 22:10and then Navarrete will win a weird decision.
- 22:16Unanimous. Yeah, weird unanimous decision while
- 22:19weighing in at, like, 220 on fight night. Charlie
- 22:24Suarez happens to magically weigh in at, like,
- 22:27120. Yeah. Like, I swear, like, you notice that,
- 22:35like, every time they, like, you can tell when
- 22:39the scale is rigged and when it isn't because
- 22:40whenever the scale, like... isn't rigged this
- 22:44is the most conspiracy theory i'll ever get in
- 22:46my life by the way and it's about emmanuel navarrete
- 22:48let's hear it but basically like you notice he
- 22:53like every time you get a news report of oh he
- 22:55almost passed out or he failed his first way
- 22:57and it's always like his opponent weighs in fine
- 23:00and when it's like whenever he doesn't struggle
- 23:03his opponent is like suspiciously liked or it's
- 23:06valdez he's another fucking weight bully Well,
- 23:10why would they have the opponent weigh less?
- 23:13Let me ask you that. Well, because it's the same
- 23:15scale. They dial the scale down so that Nav can
- 23:20make weight. Especially because they use digital
- 23:23scales nowadays. You put a bit of weight on the
- 23:26scale, you zero it, and then it doesn't register
- 23:29that. So you're calling Nav a fatty then? Have
- 23:34you seen him in the ring? He is a fatty! I'm
- 23:38trying to get a rise out of Josh. I just want
- 23:40to hear him get mad. No, he is a fatty, bro.
- 23:42I want to hear him get mad. I like angry Josh.
- 23:46Angry Josh is awesome. This is bleak. This is
- 23:50the only time I'll get actually mad, too. Like,
- 23:52what the fuck? I guarantee you they're going
- 23:56to have a Nav versus Keyshawn fight. Please,
- 23:59bro. I need Keyshawn to win that. They're going
- 24:03to do something like that, dude. They're going
- 24:05to cash Nav out soon, probably, because he's
- 24:1030, and you can't keep doing this shit, hopefully.
- 24:19You know, maybe I'll be surprised. I'll be 40,
- 24:23and he'll be like 50, and I'll be like, God damn
- 24:25it, does this guy still have the WBO title? He
- 24:29can't keep getting away with it. Then you'll
- 24:30come back and have a... Do you have a comeback
- 24:32run, too, with Top Rank? Fuck it, bro. I'll go
- 24:36on Ozempic and beat him myself if I'm 40 and
- 24:39this guy still has a title. Yeah, you probably
- 24:42would be him. If this guy still has a title when
- 24:47I'm 40, I'll come back, bro. Fuck. Oh, well,
- 24:53that's why I'm out of steam now. Let's go into
- 24:55the previews. No, there's Sunday. Sunday had
- 24:57some stuff. Yeah. I only picked up two of them.
- 25:02Hayato Tsutsumi stops Jaime Arboleda in this
- 25:06third. And Puma Martinez UD over Kazuto Ioka.
- 25:16No surprises there. Did you watch this one? No,
- 25:20I didn't. I haven't found a way to get on it.
- 25:25I parted this shit. And I mean, I bought this
- 25:28legally. They suck the money out of my ass. They
- 25:32suck the money out of my ass for this. Honestly?
- 25:42Closer than the... I think the 113 -114 card
- 25:49is the correct one. Really? Razor thin. Well,
- 25:56it's like... Again. I'm not going to say that
- 26:01Ioka was hard done because in close fights like
- 26:04that, it can go either way. Like a fight, like
- 26:07nice competitively fought. It really depends
- 26:12what you look for in a round and then you shade
- 26:15it. That decides who it gets shaded towards.
- 26:18But also consider that Ioka is not the most friendly
- 26:24with the Japanese commission. He's from Osaka.
- 26:29They don't like him. They don't like Osaka people.
- 26:33They don't like Yoko much. The commission. Yoko's
- 26:39had his beefs with the Japanese commission. So,
- 26:42not to say that he got hard done by, because
- 26:45no, Fernando Martinez totally won that fight.
- 26:49But also, it would make sense if the commission
- 26:52put judges that are more friendly to Martinez's
- 26:54style. Their styles are pretty similar, aren't
- 26:59they? Yeah. Clobbering types. Clobbering types,
- 27:05but I guess it's more of a... You know what I
- 27:07mean? Judges that would be more sympathetic towards
- 27:10Martinez. Yeah, I see what you mean. And how
- 27:13he operates. It probably was a good fight, though.
- 27:15It was a good fight. Better than the first one,
- 27:18actually. Oh, that first one had the 120 card.
- 27:24108 cards? How can you make it more clear that
- 27:28you just fucking hate the Yoka? That's what I
- 27:31mean, though. It's not like it's an alien concept
- 27:34for Yoka to get fucking jobbed in Japan because
- 27:36they don't like him. But that's just explaining
- 27:42the disparity in the cards. I'm sure they could
- 27:45easily bid 2 -0 a Yoka or 1 -1 a piece in a neutral
- 27:51location. Because these are razor -thin fights.
- 27:56But it is what it is. Ioka is old. Old as fuck,
- 28:01actually, for super flyweight. He's 36, I think.
- 28:05Yes. But he can still fight Estrada and stuff.
- 28:10There's still guys. Oh, Estrada's aged out as
- 28:17well. Estrada's also old. Like, I'm not saying
- 28:20Yoka should go fight Bam because, like, come
- 28:23on, man. It's not happening. Don't do that. Not
- 28:27happening. All right. But Bam versus Toro, though?
- 28:33Hell, he can run it back with Kosei Tanaka, too.
- 28:36That was a fun fight the first time. Kosei Tanaka,
- 28:39I like him. He comes to rumble. Yeah. Like, there's
- 28:44still options for Yoka. This doesn't have to
- 28:46be the end just because he lost to, like, close
- 28:50close decisions um is fighting the uh african
- 28:57dude that beat jose tanaka listen man bam bam's
- 29:09in a situation where like He's basically beaten
- 29:13all the guys at his relative division, but he's
- 29:18also pretty small, so he can only move up so
- 29:20much. And then move up? Fight Nakatani? Yeah.
- 29:27I rate Nakatani. I love Bam, but Nakatani is...
- 29:35Be too big. A demon. He's a demon. I think Bam.
- 29:42Honestly. Yeah. I think Bam would win the fight.
- 29:47I think it'd be a fun fight. Fun as fuck. But
- 29:50also... For sure, for sure. Nakatani is pretty
- 29:53huge. And it's not just his size. Like, he definitely...
- 30:00Are you insinuating that? I'm going to go over
- 30:08here and make a boxing fucking circle. Do you
- 30:10regret it? Oh, man. I'm just saying Nakatani
- 30:14is not only a big boy for 118. He has definitely
- 30:19bigger reach than Bam. It's just the count. If
- 30:23he can sneak a counter in, it's so... Bam, Bam.
- 30:30I'm not sure Bam can take it. I think he can
- 30:33take it. Honestly, he can. A couple, though.
- 30:36Only a couple. Yeah, I was about to say, it's
- 30:39like... You gotta say that Bam also... Bam could
- 30:42also counter a lot, too. Bam is great at countering.
- 30:46So... I think it'd be a good fight, but... It
- 30:48would be a great... I think it would be... It
- 30:51could either go the way of Spence versus Sean
- 30:54Porter. Actually, maybe it might just go the
- 30:58way of Spence versus Sean Porter, honestly. I
- 31:00don't know. Again, still, like, the Nakatani
- 31:05moment that sticks out in my head, even as he
- 31:08racks up even more knockouts and stoppages, is
- 31:11still, like, him fucking, like, killing Andrew
- 31:14Maloney. Oh, God, that was a scary -ass knockout.
- 31:19Yeah, like, you just, like, he just rolled in
- 31:23the entire fight. Wasn't competitive. Last round,
- 31:29Maloney's going for it. As best as he can, he's
- 31:32ragged, and Nakatani just calmly steps back and
- 31:35puts him out the pasture. I swear, this guy couldn't
- 31:40even breathe. Didn't even breathe for a couple
- 31:42seconds after getting caught like that. I thought
- 31:46he was seriously hurt. Yeah, no, like... It's
- 31:50not just... Okay, yeah, go ahead. Oh, I was just
- 31:52gonna say that Puma should probably look at whoever
- 31:54the IBF champ is, because Bam is unifying. titles
- 32:01i'm yeah kafu is fun but like you're not on bam's
- 32:06level and we're gonna see oh yeah we're gonna
- 32:09see like there's levels to this it's gonna be
- 32:11one of those situations well i mean you never
- 32:14know bam's special we've known bam was special
- 32:16since uh he came in on short notice against quadris
- 32:20and just obliterated him yeah like Not just like
- 32:26Merc them in like, this is a young guy at the
- 32:30age, at the division. It's like, holy shit, he's
- 32:34sick. He's sick as fuck. Killed him. Killed the
- 32:40queen right there. Same with, what's his name?
- 32:47Rungusai. Yeah. I just pulled up the Nakatani
- 32:53knockout and oh my god, bro, he's twitching on
- 32:56the ground for a good couple seconds after that.
- 33:03Bleeding out his mouth. Bleeding from his nose.
- 33:07And his eyes. That was fucking scary, man. Scary,
- 33:13yeah. And it was calm, too. It's not even like
- 33:16Nakatani rushed it or anything. Just a perfect
- 33:19shot. Oh, my God. Anyways, let's go to the...
- 33:26Is that it for the reviews? That's it for the
- 33:27recaps. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Let me do one of these.

- 36:32Friday, fucking May 23rd. It's a... Buckle up,
- 36:40Buttercups. This shit is not... These guys are
- 36:43still fighting? Maxie Hughes versus Archie Sharp.
- 36:48This is GBM Sports. It's gonna be on DAZN. It's
- 36:53like when you auto -generate a character. Archie
- 36:55Sharp's like when you auto -generate a guy in
- 36:572K, but it's a boxer. Fight Night. British boxer.
- 37:02Fight Night champion, like, you just pick British
- 37:05boxer. Lightweight. I know Maxie Hughes is still
- 37:11fighting. How old is he? 35. 35? Old enough to
- 37:21still be fighting, apparently. Yeah. Young enough,
- 37:25rather. Fuck. He's still around. No, I guess
- 37:33it wasn't. Yeah. Go ahead. Terry Harper versus
- 37:37Natalie Zimmerman. WBO lightweight title on the
- 37:42line. And Ticey... Is this like a female version
- 37:47of Tyson? Ticey Gallagher versus Ebony Jones.
- 37:50I think that's an IBF trinket. I check. No, British
- 37:57title. Okay, it's British. I mean, good for Terry
- 38:07Harper for still fighting. How old is she? 28,
- 38:15but the thing, like, consider, remember her story
- 38:19was that she was working at Tesco, and then her
- 38:22coach is like, we really need, like, a female
- 38:26boxer. We need somebody to step up. Yeah, we
- 38:30need someone to step up. Like, come back. Come
- 38:32back to boxing. And then, like, good for her.
- 38:35She's still around. Especially after that, like,
- 38:38year she took off after Baumgartner had her looking
- 38:44into the stars. Oh, you said Baumgartner, not...
- 38:49Baumgartner. Yeah. No, that Baumgartner one was...
- 38:53Stoppage. Big time. Good stoppage from the referee,
- 38:58actually. She's still kicking. Good for her.
- 39:07Have any of you guys seen Zimmerman? Is she any
- 39:09good? I have not. I have not either. She hasn't
- 39:15had an opponent with a winning record yet. Wait
- 39:18a second. I have mentioned Zimmerman before.
- 39:25It was a title fight. that she was on yeah the
- 39:32adina kiss one yeah i'm looking on a box right
- 39:36here okay okay but i've never seen her fight
- 39:42i just know no she's uh this is this is a friday
- 39:47british card through and through uh usually american
- 39:53uh friday cards are pretty okay They're enjoyable,
- 39:59but this is fucking rough. This is some rough
- 40:03shit, man. It's because all the guys that used
- 40:05to be the default, like Eddie Hearn puts them
- 40:08on a card that keep them exciting are all retired.
- 40:12Terry Flanagan. Gone is like Ted Cheeseman, bro.
- 40:17Or this would be a Dave Allen card. This is the
- 40:19card that they put Dave Allen on to sell pay
- 40:21-per -views in 2016. Back when they were still
- 40:25on Sky Sports, they go like, yeah, David Allen's
- 40:27fighting some Bulgarian guy who just clocked
- 40:31out of a construction job. It's the greatest
- 40:35fight part of the year. And then Dave Allen struggles
- 40:40to beat him. Really competitive, this one. Yeah,
- 40:46then Dave Allen's like, fuck, I'm too fat. Fuck,
- 40:49I'm too fat. I need to train more. And then he
- 40:52never trains more. I remember one time hearing
- 40:56that Eddie Heard actually said that he thought
- 40:58Usyk vs. Fury was going to be horrible before
- 41:01it actually happened. But in all the promos,
- 41:04he was like, oh, this is a monumental fight waiting
- 41:06to happen for 25 years. Great fight, great fight.
- 41:09That's going to happen tonight. He literally
- 41:12admitted that he thought Usyk vs. Fury was going
- 41:14to be bad. It's crazy, huh? We had a famous Eddie
- 41:16Heard quote being that Dave Allen was only two
- 41:19fights away from AJ. Dave Allen is only two fights
- 41:24away from AJ. He's only two fights away from
- 41:27AJ right now, technically. AJ just needs two
- 41:30more losses and then it'll be worth it. Maybe
- 41:33one more fight. Dave Allen wins and AJ loses
- 41:36again. Yeah, maybe. We're almost there. We're
- 41:39back to the two fight. Yeah, we're back in that
- 41:43state. AJ's fallen that far. You know what? I
- 41:50kind of like him. He's like my dirty little secret.
- 41:55I like making fun of him. I don't hate him. I
- 42:02think he's the only promoter that actually sells
- 42:04fighters now. You know what I mean? Like properly.
- 42:10I mean... He's the face of Matchroom. You see
- 42:15him in all the interviews and such. You know
- 42:17what I mean? I don't think that's a good thing,
- 42:18though, because then, like, you're not as invested.
- 42:20You're not building the fighters. You're just
- 42:22building your brand. Well, I think, I mean, he's
- 42:26kind of got some good fighters. You know what
- 42:28I mean? The promotion isn't very good. Like,
- 42:32the way that we have talked about it before is,
- 42:34like, this guy is really good. Oh, yeah, of course.
- 42:37I just mean, like, you just know he's amazing.
- 42:40I understand he's a good way to be the face of
- 42:44your promotion, but the thing is that promoting
- 42:46the fights themselves is a separate issue. Like,
- 42:49again, PBC always nails it with the storytelling.
- 42:53Yeah, but imagine if Al Heyman was like the face.
- 42:56It wouldn't be the same. I know. So we care about
- 43:01the fighters and their stories. We don't care
- 43:03about Al Heyman and whatever the fuck he's up
- 43:05to. Well, I mean, like Bob Arum and fucking Don
- 43:08King did it back in the day, you know what I
- 43:10mean? Yeah, but even Arum always took a backseat
- 43:13to, like, when he had, like, his real stars.
- 43:18Like, Bob Arum would always take a bit of a backseat.
- 43:20Like, he never made himself the face of an Ali
- 43:24promotion. Don King, though? Don King always
- 43:29did, but that's because he was the one keeping
- 43:31most of the money. Don King was like the turkey.
- 43:37Yeah, fuck. Except good. Well, not good. Good.
- 43:41Yeah, good. That's... Wait, wait, wait. Good's
- 43:43a tough one, bro. Like, you gotta ask Tim Witherspoon
- 43:46if he's good. He's horrible. No, he's horrible.
- 43:47He's horrible. I mean, like, he put on some great
- 43:49fights, though. He put on great fights. Yeah.
- 43:51That's all I meant. Oh, he's a horrible person.
- 43:53Fuck, dog. No. Okay, you know what? Oh, my God.
- 43:56Bro, the people... I'm getting... I'm getting
- 43:58canceled from boxing, bro. It's... I like Eddie
- 44:02Hearn and Don King is good. Those are some doozies
- 44:07right there. Oh, my God. This is my retirement
- 44:10podcast, bro. This is my retirement podcast.
- 44:12We're now hiring. It's actually, oh, God, I didn't
- 44:16mean like that, though. Y 'all know I didn't
- 44:18mean like that. Come on. Y 'all know I did not
- 44:20mean like that. Oh, my God. Can you please tell
- 44:24me that you guys know I didn't mean like that?
- 44:27Well, I mean, listen, man. Listen, man. When
- 44:29I listen to this podcast back when it comes out,
- 44:32I'll tell you what it sounded like. Ah, shit.
- 44:37I'll call in being like, what the fuck is this
- 44:39Alex guy still doing on the show? I'm good. I
- 44:43am good. Oh, you want to tell me I'm wrong? Because
- 44:48I know I'm wrong, but you can tell me I'm wrong.
- 44:50I'm not. No, I don't need to say Don King is
- 44:53bad. That's like... Wait, wait. You know what?
- 44:56That was just a play to get people to call, though.
- 44:57That was just a play to get people to call. 833
- 44:59Lux Pods. I am not... Ah, shit. Okay. Oh, God.
- 45:09I feel like Teal right now, except I regret it.
- 45:12You're right. I have remorse. I have remorse.
- 45:16I was just like, Teal, but... You know what I
- 45:18forgot last week? What? We had a message. Oh,
- 45:23play the message now. I can't play it into Teams.
- 45:29You can read it. Yeah, it says, hi, this is Matt.
- 45:33Like, first time, long time kind of thing. I
- 45:37wanted to talk about Canelo, about the Canelo
- 45:42versus, oh, this is a bad transcription. It says
- 45:45Canelo versus the girl fight. That would have
- 45:49been more fun than Canelo's skull. Yeah, and
- 45:51how boring it was. I expected better from what
- 45:56is supposed to be the face of the sport. I don't
- 46:00know. Let me... This transcription fucking sucks.
- 46:10I don't know what gave him the idea it's okay
- 46:13to go the distance with someone like that. That's
- 46:15not on his level, but... I'm not pleased. It's
- 46:20fucking disgusting, is the word. Whatever they
- 46:23said, they're very correct. Yeah. They're very
- 46:27correct. Very valid. Thanks, Matt. That was very
- 46:32nice of you. We love you, Matt. ProBuck's good.
- 46:37ProBuck's good, Matt. Matt good, ProBuck's good.
- 46:41Hell yeah. Please call in again to yell at Alex.
- 46:46Don King is... Not great. No, I know Don King.
- 46:51That was a slip -up, bro. You said Don King was
- 46:56good, bro. It'll be in the podcast. Oh, my God.
- 47:00You said it. I'm done. It's over. It's over.
- 47:04Oh, my God. We're getting canceled. We're getting
- 47:06canceled now. God, speaking of getting canceled,
- 47:12Josh Taylor is here in the next event. We skipped
- 47:19Angelo Leo. Yeah, Angelo Leo is fighting Tomoki
- 47:23Kameda, IBF featherweight title on the line.
- 47:27I don't really know who these other people are.
- 47:29The IBF minimum weight title will be on the line
- 47:32in the, I think, the co -main. Honestly, this
- 47:36looks a lot like a top -ranked card. Where's
- 47:41he be held at, Angelo Leo? Osaka. Osaka, Japan.
- 47:47Interesting fight. Now he's fighting El Mexicanito.
- 47:53Moki Kaneda. Yeah, his Spanish is actually pretty
- 47:59damn good. Yeah, good for him, man. I think he
- 48:05and his brothers live, or at least train, in
- 48:08Mexico. Yeah. Listen, man, it's not a bad tariff.
- 48:15These Japan cards are always more fun than they
- 48:18look on paper. Yeah, better than that Friday
- 48:22shit Maxie Hughes is headlining. Yeah, like,
- 48:26why the fuck isn't this on... Why can't they
- 48:30suck the money out of my ass for this one? Dude,
- 48:34you know what? It's so stupid how the Japanese
- 48:37streaming services work. Like, you can't... You
- 48:41have to have a Japanese IP. No, but it's not
- 48:44even, like, just sell the rights, man. Yeah,
- 48:49to somebody. Just sell the rights. Like, Probox
- 48:51would probably pick that shit up and fill their
- 48:53schedule. It's a title fight. It's two title
- 48:57fights. ESPN would love to have it. Yeah, like,
- 49:01Top Rank doesn't have to put Emmanuel Navarrete
- 49:04on shit anymore if you have this. So you can't
- 49:09sign up if you don't have a Japanese IP. you
- 49:12sign up you try to sign up you need to have a
- 49:14japanese phone number there's a website that
- 49:17gives you like a temporary number that you could
- 49:18do for like the text registration then you have
- 49:23to have a japanese bank account or because like
- 49:25you're my i tried to put my card information
- 49:28in there it says like yeah we only accept japanese
- 49:30banks yeah you're married your filthy american

- 49:53Hughes. I want to watch Tomoki Kameda and Angelo
- 49:59Leo. Even if the fight sucked, the venue was
- 50:02pretty enough to, like, at least, like, hey,
- 50:06it's a fun venue to look at. But the fights don't
- 50:10suck. So, like, come on. Instead, on the same
- 50:16day, we're watching the ghost of Josh Taylor
- 50:19and a bunch of fucking... There's one good fight
- 50:22on this damn card. Hey, Tom. Yeah, Tom was fighting
- 50:26someone like Balrog or something, bro. Balogun?
- 50:33Balogun. He lost to Gassiev in, like, two years
- 50:37ago. I don't know. At least Atom was fighting.
- 50:42That's the exciting part. I don't care about
- 50:44the rest of this card. Josh Taylor's old. Josh
- 50:49Taylor is old and he's still at 140 for some
- 50:52reason. I thought this was at 147. No, no, it's
- 50:56at 147. He finally moved up. Yeah. But, like,
- 51:01really? He's only 34. Yeah, but he's an old 34.
- 51:11He's an old, old 34. Because it's not like, again,
- 51:15it's not his defense that ever carried him in
- 51:17these fights. It was always his heart and general
- 51:21ranginess. Discipline. Remember how pro -grade
- 51:28made his eye look? No. The picture of him holding
- 51:36the Ali trophy where the bruise over his eye
- 51:40is like, the fucking boy like a like a mump or
- 51:43a boil over his face like in the cartoons yeah
- 51:48literally that's i mean like he's never been
- 51:52uh and he's taken a good amount of punishment
- 51:54in his last three three fights because like jack
- 52:01kettle beat him the first time and they robbed
- 52:04them Teofimo Lopez put belt to ass, and then
- 52:08Jack Catterall also put belt to ass and fouled
- 52:10him a bunch. Like, he's got a lot of miles on
- 52:12the clock. I will never bring another fighter
- 52:16to Britain. Oh, my God. Look at his eye. He doesn't
- 52:22even have one. Yeah, like, that's what I mean.
- 52:25He's got miles on the clock, and he probably
- 52:29spent too long at 140. So, make what you will.
- 52:39He's probably still going to beat this guy. Ekau
- 52:42Esuman. Ekau Esuman, yeah. But, like, it's not
- 52:46going to be pretty because Josh Taylor's a bit
- 52:49of a mauling, fouling fighter. But, I mean, he'll
- 52:56get some WBO trinket to stay in the mix. So,
- 53:02there's that. Do we care that much about Nathaniel
- 53:09Collins and Lee McGregor? Fuck no. Not really.
- 53:18They're both Brit -level guys who will win or
- 53:22lose, still stay around Brit -level. They're
- 53:27not going to beat Nick Ball, but they can probably
- 53:32wait for Nick Ball to lose and pick up the trinkets
- 53:34that he drops from that. Pick up the loot? Yeah,
- 53:39basically. Man. Someone has to fill the rankings.
- 53:44Someone has to fill the rankings in. Like Britain's
- 53:47Rocha and Korea. Yeah, if there's some British
- 53:55listener or Irish, Scottish, whatever. United
- 54:00Kingdom listener. British Isles. Why should I
- 54:05care? It's about Nathaniel Collins and or Lee
- 54:09McGregor. Also, tell us why Don King is bad.
- 54:18He is bad, by the way. He's very bad. That's
- 54:23a backtrack from... Look, the woke left has forced
- 54:28him to admit that Don King is bad. I always thought
- 54:33that. I just thought he put on good fights. You
- 54:34can't deny that, dude. Yeah, I know. The way
- 54:39it came out was just really funny. That's definitely
- 54:43not going to be on Patreon. That's definitely
- 54:45going to go to the main. That's going to the
- 54:47main. You know the one where he's like, you need
- 54:53to leave. Like TikTok audio. That's going to
- 54:57go viral. Yeah, that's the clip you put on social
- 55:01media. I'm getting clipped right there. Bro,
- 55:06like, Don King has a fucking Wikipedia article
- 55:08about lawsuits and prosecutions. Has his own
- 55:12lawsuits page? Yeah, on Wikipedia. All lawsuits
- 55:18and prosecutions. Yeah. He got investigated for
- 55:23being connected to John Gotti. The IRS stole
- 55:28$32 ,000 from his house because he didn't fucking
- 55:32pay it. Wait, wait, okay, okay, okay. You guys,
- 55:36like, flew me with it, right? Yeah. You're just
- 55:40moving the goalposts, man. Don King stomped the
- 55:43guy to death over $600, bro. He beat his wife.
- 55:48Mayweather beat his wife. Don King stomped the
- 55:50guy to death, bro. You guys are getting paid
- 55:53by Mayweather, dog. I wish. He beat his wife,
- 55:58and you guys have not mentioned that. That got
- 56:00cut from one of the podcast ones. Nah, man, because
- 56:03it's not relevant. I'm not saying Floyd Mayweather
- 56:08is the paragon of morality here. I'm definitely
- 56:11not moving the goalpost. This is moving the goalpost.
- 56:15I'm definitely not moving the goalpost. You guys
- 56:18are just getting paid off by big Mayweather promotions.
- 56:20Nah, bro. Like, here's Wikipedia, bro. The Mayweather
- 56:23Industrial Complex. Yeah. In 1967, King was convicted
- 56:30of voluntary manslaughter for stomping one of
- 56:32his employees to death because he owed him $600.
- 56:36Yeah, Don King's horrible. I know, Don King's
- 56:38horrible, bro. I know, I know. I'm about to go
- 56:41to, like, the Fox News of Boxing podcast. Yeah.
- 56:44We're moving this podcast to Rumble. I'm not
- 56:48going to shoot a bullet at another fucking podcast.
- 56:52I'm going to keep my mouth shut. I'm going to
- 56:53shut the fuck up. You know what? At least we
- 57:01filled it. We didn't need to break in any of
- 57:02the filler with that. No. Didn't need to break
- 57:05glass on this one. We'll probably have to break
- 57:08it in a couple weeks with this. We'll have to
- 57:09talk about the previews of this. The recaps of
- 57:12these weekends. Yeah. I'm sorry for the listeners
- 57:19who had to listen to this. I'm going to talk
- 57:22about the NBA playoffs if it's that bleak. I
- 57:26usually have that up top, like if it's something
- 57:31I recognize, if it's a team I know or a team
- 57:33I kind of sort of care about. NBA draft is rigged,
- 57:36by the way. They gave Dallas the fucking first
- 57:39pick. What? The draft lottery was today. The
- 57:45Dallas Mavericks have the number one pick. Didn't
- 57:49they just get that really good Serbian guy? No,
- 57:53they traded him away. They lost the Serbian guy,
- 57:56that's right. For nothing. They traded him for
- 57:59the ghost of Anthony Davis and a pack of peanuts.
- 58:06And then they got rewarded with Cooper flags,
- 58:09so they got another generational guy. Horrible,
- 58:15horrible stuff. But anyways, is that all? That
- 58:21is. That is all the boxing. Yeah, let me make
- 58:26one of these. You've been listening to The Boxing

- 59:59End. Ah, good one. Bleak End. I'm getting cancelled.
- 1:00:09Oh, yeah. I'm going to get replaced by, like,
- 1:00:13Isaac again. Let's get Isaac back on the podcast,
- 1:00:18dog. Nah, we got to bring... We got to get Angelo
- 1:00:21in. Angelo. Let's see if we can drag him out.
- 1:00:27I don't know what that guy is. Let's see if we
- 1:00:30can drag Angelo out. He wouldn't come on here.
- 1:00:35He wouldn't? Damn. You gotta pay him for that.
- 1:00:40Uh, Noir on the Discord. Wait, what's his name?
- 1:00:46Noir. Have you seriously not talked to him, bro?
- 1:00:52Noir? Yeah, he's like, he's not the owner of
- 1:00:58the Discord, but he's not. Well, no, because
- 1:01:02I know he has the other one, the Sunday Punchers.
- 1:01:05Yeah. He doesn't even do that one. What do you
- 1:01:11mean? He's still on. I thought he was still on
- 1:01:13it. He only posted to Patreon, which I do not
- 1:01:20pay for. I add myself to the Patreon channel,
- 1:01:22but I don't pay for it. Listen, he's tried to
- 1:01:27kick me out of the Patreon channel repeatedly.
- 1:01:30It's not happening. Wait, so wait. Why do you
- 1:01:35want him back, Josh? Why do you want him on here?
- 1:01:41I don't know, because he doesn't think Don King
- 1:01:44is good. Awkward. I don't know, man. I don't
- 1:01:54know, man. I was just thinking of potential replacements
- 1:01:58for when the woke mob cancels you, Alex. Yeah,
- 1:02:02the woke boxing mob. The woke boxing mob. Bring
- 1:02:06RGF back, too. First day... First they came for
- 1:02:10Teofimo and I said nothing because he's a fucking
- 1:02:14racist. And then they came for Alex and I also
- 1:02:20said nothing because I disagree with... I disagree
- 1:02:22with Dodd King being good. You know what? No,
- 1:02:26I didn't mean it like that, though. I did not
- 1:02:28mean it like that. You know what? I know. You
- 1:02:29know what? You know what? This is the only good
- 1:02:31thing about it because Devin Haney is going to
- 1:02:33do some stupid bullshit again. Devin Haney and
- 1:02:37Ryan Garcia is going to do some bullshit and
- 1:02:38it's going to... No one's going to know about
- 1:02:39this. God, imagine the era. Imagine the era where
- 1:02:42instead of getting paid too much, Don King would
- 1:02:46have been robbing those guys. Yeah. Honestly,
- 1:02:50I would love Don King to rob Demi Haney. Yeah.
- 1:02:53It would have been the only thing he would do.
- 1:02:55Parting words, Provox good, Ryan good. Eat more
- 1:03:01ramen. That's true. Put the ramen ad right in
- 1:03:09the middle of the closing words. If that's all
- 1:03:14we got, then that's it for this edition of the
- 1:03:18Boxing B -Sides. B -Sides.
