- 0:11This is the B-Sides Boxing Podcast.
- 0:15Man. Man, man, man.
- 0:31Energy come out now.
- 0:34Yo, Boxing B-Sides back up in your ear balls.
- 0:41If you think we're going to be talking about Naoya Inoue today,
- 0:45you are...
- 0:45you're going to be left wanting because that's not what we're doing right now.
- 0:50We've got other things on the docket.
- 0:55UFC 311 happened.
- 0:56It was a little while ago.
- 0:58If you want to hear more about it, go to check out the Ultimate F'ing Casuals.
- 1:04It's a fun romp, even if you don't know anything about MMA.
- 1:08The main on that one got changed, didn't it?
- 1:13Yes.
- 1:14The dude had a, they said it was like a back spasm or something.
- 1:20And I don't buy it.
- 1:23I think he had been injured for a while.
- 1:24They just kept his name on there to keep selling tickets.
- 1:30What's known in the biz is a dick move.
- 1:34I think that's the scientific term.
- 1:36Yes.
- 1:39The co-main event was really, really fun.
- 1:43There was good stuff, enjoyable stuff, entertaining, f'ing knockouts and stuff.
- 1:53Nice.
- 1:55Yeah, the main event, the dude that stepped in, he's a, the last time he was handed a
- 2:01microphone, he talked about the decline of France and how France being a sec, having
- 2:11a secular government is why they are like disgraced on the national, on the international
- 2:18stage.
- 2:19The guy is a f'ing weirdo.
- 2:20Renato Henado Moicano is his name.
- 2:26Brazilian?
- 2:27Yes.
- 2:28Nice.
- 2:29Yeah.
- 2:30Love when Brazilians talk shit about France.
- 2:35He stepped in on a day's notice to fight one of the best MMA guys on earth.
- 2:43A day's notice is crazy.
- 2:45That is f'ing wild.
- 2:47But you gotta, I guess, when an opportunity knocks.
- 2:52Shoot your shot, I guess, but a day's notice is crazy.
- 2:57But enough of that.
- 2:58Go check out Ultimate F'ing Casuals if you want to hear more about, we're going to run
- 3:01down the whole card.
- 3:04Getting into some news here, did you see Turkey's tournament shit?
- 3:09No, I have missed this.
- 3:11Alright, so he is proposing a four person tournament.
- 3:15Jaron Ennis vs. Tiofimo Lopez, Devin Haney vs. Ryan Garcia rematch, and then the winners
- 3:22fight and then the losers fight.
- 3:25I'd be on board for that.
- 3:26Yeah.
- 3:27That sounds fun.
- 3:28To be honest though, I would rather just watch Tiofimo vs. Ryan.
- 3:33Like those two don't end up fighting, I will be upset.
- 3:36I wonder if, so you do winner winner and loser loser.
- 3:40What if you do, like the loser of the winner's fight versus the winner of the loser's fight
- 3:46and then the loser of the loser's fight like fucks off for whatever, like go away.
- 3:53Oh, like a double knockout style.
- 3:58That could be fun.
- 3:59I mostly just want to see the mental health Olympics in boxing.
- 4:03Oh my goodness, that's what this is.
- 4:06Devin Haney dropped his lawsuit.
- 4:10He didn't drop it.
- 4:11He suspended it.
- 4:13Oh, okay.
- 4:14Well, it's a big difference though, because it is only suspended for like, I think, is
- 4:19it 60 days?
- 4:21Something like that, 90 days.
- 4:23And then it either restarts or he drops it.
- 4:26I was under the impression that the suspension, it was contingent upon Garcia going into VADA
- 4:33like randomized year round testing, which like by the time their rematch comes around,
- 4:38it's not going to be a full year or whatever, but being available for randomized testing.
- 4:45Yeah.
- 4:46I think that is the point of it is if you don't agree to that, we'll just restart the
- 4:51lawsuit.
- 4:52Yeah.
- 4:53Yeah.
- 4:54I think it was Provox guys, or maybe it was Chris Elgeri on that other podcast he does,
- 5:00was talking about how he kind of thought that maybe this was all Haney's grand plan was
- 5:07to use this lawsuit to get Garcia into the testing.
- 5:12That's the whole reason the lawsuit was started.
- 5:14If it's true, that's like 4D chess, but I don't know if I believe it.
- 5:20Yeah.
- 5:21I can see that being the case, but the way that the Haney's went about all of that makes
- 5:29me think that it wasn't.
- 5:31It's not a grand plan because they were being little bitches like having hissy fits.
- 5:35100%.
- 5:36I agree with you, but it was an interesting take on it anyways.
- 5:42Yeah.
- 5:43It's an interesting idea.
- 5:44Spence Fundora, it's officially off.
- 5:49Spence came out saying, I'll come back when I'm ready.
- 5:53Little emphasis on the I'm when I'm ready.
- 5:56Thanks.
- 5:57Yeah.
- 5:58I've been saying this forever.
- 6:00Spence is broken.
- 6:02Cooked.
- 6:03He's gone.
- 6:04Yeah.
- 6:05Stick a fork in him.
- 6:08I just don't want to see him anymore either.
- 6:11If he does come back, he's going to be a shadow of his former self.
- 6:15I don't know.
- 6:16I just don't care to see Spence anymore.
- 6:19I think he should retire and he's just having a very hard time admitting that to himself.
- 6:24Yeah.
- 6:25Yeah.
- 6:26I know.
- 6:27No additional notes.
- 6:28Sad.
- 6:29Could have been the legend.
- 6:32Don't drink and drive kids.
- 6:33Fucking don't drink and drive.
- 6:35Don't crash your Enzo flipping it like 10 times.
- 6:38And wear a seatbelt.
- 6:40There were many fucking things wrong.
- 6:43Don't drive at 100 miles per hour on a residential road.
- 6:46Moving on.
- 6:49Support for this episode is from Carnivore Snacks.
- 6:51One snack that I think most people can agree on is jerky.
- 6:54Now, when I was in Afghanistan, beef jerky was my go-to snack when I needed something
- 6:59that was hefty, but I didn't have a lot of time to really sit down and eat.
- 7:03So, jerky brands, they come and go.
- 7:06And while the big players are still out there, let me put you on game about Carnivore Snacks.
- 7:10If you've heard a particular show that we have here in the Lux Media Network, you know
- 7:16that we take environmental protection very seriously.
- 7:20Industrial farming is the stuff of nightmares.
- 7:23It's like hell on earth and I think that anybody who wants to continue eating meat should have
- 7:27to see what these animals go through.
- 7:31But here are some terms that I learned about when I looked into Carnivore Snacks.
- 7:36That's regenerative agriculture and lifetime grazing.
- 7:39Now, regenerative ag is when people who know what they're doing cycle through crops that
- 7:45keeps the land healthy and in good order.
- 7:49And it also gives the animals a more natural diet and a better life before they're sent
- 7:56off to be made into food.
- 7:58Lifetime grazing is where the animals, it's like free range, but it's verifiable.
- 8:05These animals are never put into cages or pans or sties or whatever.
- 8:09They spend their entire lives free to roam.
- 8:12Now, both of these terms are independently audited through several organizations, so
- 8:17there's no bullshitting here.
- 8:19The pun is definitely intended.
- 8:23I'm getting to the end of the spot and I haven't even talked about the product yet,
- 8:26but my first order was the ribeye.
- 8:28That's my favorite cut of steak and goodness, goodness gracious, the marbling on the pieces
- 8:33were it was just amazing.
- 8:36So much flavor and there's only two ingredients, meat and salt.
- 8:40That's it.
- 8:42I'm definitely going to be getting more, so I would recommend if you want to try it
- 8:46out, get 15% off every order, not just your first from carnivore snacks, go to lvx.be
- 8:53slash car snacks.
- 8:55So to spell it out, lvx.be slash car snacks for 15% off.
- 9:04Help us out in the process.
- 9:05Do some reviews here, this is also just like the last time, this is a light section, so
- 9:12I'm really fucking, we went to the bottom of the barrel here.
- 9:17Kadir Albright, this is King's Promotion, this was in Philly.
- 9:21Kadir Albright, the ref pulls the plug at the end of six or end of five going into six.
- 9:33This Kadir Albright has an awesome nickname too.
- 9:36We need to check nicknames all the time, Leo, because he is Savage C4.
- 9:42That is fucking awesome.
- 9:44So Philadelphia to me, I don't know why.
- 9:48The savage part, I think is what makes me think it's really quintessential Philly.
- 9:53Yeah, you can't just be C4, you got to make it extra.
- 9:58You are the unrefined C4.
- 10:03Alright, moving to another one.
- 10:06In Panama, Duran Promotions, yes they are related, at the Roberto Duran Arena.
- 10:13Motherfucker has a whole ass arena named after him.
- 10:16Duran probably has everything ever made named after him in Panama.
- 10:21Probs, yeah, I would fucking name everything the Duran or the Hands of Stone shit.
- 10:27Yes.
- 10:28There was only one fight that really caught my eye and that was Royman Villa.
- 10:32He's back and he got a stoppage in the fourth over Alexander Duran.
- 10:38I don't know if he's related to the promoter and to Roberto.
- 10:44I don't recognize any of these other names.
- 10:48There isn't a whole lot going on.
- 10:50Last one, this one was in Santa Ines at the Chumash Casino.
- 10:55Let's get the other shit out of the way.
- 10:57Roxy, she goes by Right Hook Roxy.
- 11:01Gets a stoppage in three over Lindsay Ellis.
- 11:04Homegirl is from close to where Romeo grew up.
- 11:07Oh, nice.
- 11:08Yeah, so he was a little upset when she started getting her ass kicked.
- 11:13Gloria Munguia, unaffiliated.
- 11:15Gets a UD over Brooke.
- 11:18Cibrian, that was a fun one.
- 11:21Ali Akhmedov, stoppage in two over Malcolm Jones.
- 11:25Been similar to the way Justice Hooney opponents tend to go.
- 11:29Once they get a feel for it, yeah, they don't want to continue.
- 11:33I can understand.
- 11:35Yeah.
- 11:36Main event, pointedly skipping over the co-main, but Omar Trinidad, he is like 360's best hope
- 11:43right now and it's not very good.
- 11:46Yeah, that wasn't a very impressive fight.
- 11:50No, left a lot to be desired.
- 11:52Over Mike Plania, this guy is 31 and 4, so he's a professional.
- 11:58He has a pretty solid record.
- 12:00He got done in by Angelo Leo in three rounds.
- 12:04Omar Trinidad went life and death with him.
- 12:08There's levels, buddy, and you're not ready for the next one.
- 12:11Yeah.
- 12:12He could.
- 12:13He could shape up.
- 12:14There is something there, but it's just not 360 needs to slow it down a little bit.
- 12:19He's not young, but he's not old.
- 12:23He's still got some time.
- 12:25Late 20s.
- 12:26Oh, shit.
- 12:27He's 28.
- 12:28Yikes.
- 12:29Yeah.
- 12:30Maybe they're stepping him up because of his age.
- 12:33I would expect that's the case.
- 12:35Don't have a lot of time to mess around.
- 12:36I have to admit, I was at work and had that on in the background and quit paying attention
- 12:43part way through.
- 12:44It was not a very exciting fight.
- 12:46No.
- 12:47But then, like towards the end, Plania did go into survival mode.
- 12:51So it's not entirely on Trinidad that it kind of sucked, but still, man, I'm going to keep
- 12:57saying it.
- 12:58Angelo Leo stopped him in three.
- 12:59So I don't know.
- 13:00I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish there.
- 13:03Yeah.
- 13:04Now, the main event in our hearts, Mizuki Hiuta.
- 13:08This was awesome.
- 13:10Amazing fight.
- 13:11Seriously.
- 13:12The doctor pulls the plug.
- 13:14Maribel Ramirez got a nasty ass cut that was just gushing onto her face, like into her
- 13:21eye.
- 13:22Yeah.
- 13:23It was a wild fight.
- 13:24She did not quit, though.
- 13:25No, fuck no.
- 13:26That woman is a fucking beast.
- 13:27I've seen Mary Bell.
- 13:29I said this when we previewed these.
- 13:31I've seen Mary Bell before, and she is always in entertaining ass fights.
- 13:37She is tough as fuck.
- 13:39Yeah.
- 13:40I was saying, once the fight ended, I had said, she's 15, 10, and 4 going into the fight.
- 13:47If those 10 losses are anything like what I just saw, this woman is a fucking beast.
- 13:53She's a machine.
- 13:54Yeah.
- 13:55Like, she can be outboxed.
- 13:58That is, there's no question, but she will not be out gutted, if you know what I mean.
- 14:04But Mizuki, the fucking queen of boxing discord now?
- 14:09Yeah.
- 14:10I hadn't actually seen her before.
- 14:13I don't think she's been televised very much.
- 14:16I don't think so.
- 14:17But man, the, what's the right word?
- 14:20The presentation.
- 14:21Like, the aura she has is just awesome.
- 14:25The theatrics were fun.
- 14:27Yes.
- 14:28Came out to Sailor Moon theme song.
- 14:32Had a super cool fashion designed boxing outfit.
- 14:37Yeah.
- 14:38She apparently does that with every fight.
- 14:41Yeah.
- 14:42Secret designer.
- 14:43Yeah, I had to do some background reading after I saw her.
- 14:47The bright pink hair.
- 14:48I do not understand how she gets her hair that color.
- 14:51It's amazing.
- 14:52And then, of course, the boxing as well.
- 14:54Yeah.
- 14:55I mean, it's fun to have a character like that.
- 14:59There are others like a, what's his name?
- 15:00Chris Colbert used to do shit like that, but he's also a douchebag.
- 15:04So she seems like a very sweet lady.
- 15:06Well, and who's the guy with the mascot of himself?
- 15:11Abraham Nova?
- 15:12So cringy.
- 15:13Yeah, it's so cringy.
- 15:14Yeah.
- 15:15But I still watch.
- 15:16And he hasn't fought for a while.
- 15:18But who's Blair?
- 15:20Blair Cobb.
- 15:21Blair the Flair.
- 15:22Yes.
- 15:23Me and my brother used to get excited for his fights.
- 15:25Not for the fights, but just the interviews.
- 15:29All the wrestling shit he does.
- 15:30He cuts like straight up wrestling promotion.
- 15:34It's pretty funny.
- 15:35Yeah.
- 15:36It's great.
- 15:37I like the over the top characters when they're not just people being assholes.
- 15:42But Mizuki is so cute.
- 15:44And she told everybody to call her Mimi, which is adorable.
- 15:50And then she came out and just fucking beat the piss out of this poor lady.
- 15:54Yeah.
- 15:55It was pretty bad.
- 15:58It was competitive for like the first two rounds or something.
- 16:01Yeah.
- 16:02And then Mimi's left hand just couldn't miss.
- 16:07That cut was bad.
- 16:10And once she cut her, she just kept targeting it like you should.
- 16:15But open Maribel up so badly.
- 16:19And they kept zooming in on it.
- 16:21And it was so gross.
- 16:22I'm excited to watch her next fight, though.
- 16:24She is getting added to my Google alerts, I think.
- 16:28I need to set those up.
- 16:29They're super easy to set up.
- 16:31Yeah, I just never got down to doing it.
- 16:34I don't know.
- 16:35That was the best fight of the night.
- 16:37By far.
- 16:38Yeah.
- 16:39By far the best fight of the week.
- 16:41Yes, definitely.
- 16:43But that's it for that one.
- 16:44That's it for 360.
- 16:45And that's it for the fucking recaps.
- 16:47Holy poo poo.
- 16:48I told you all they were coming.
- 16:51Support for this episode is from the Ramen Bay.
- 16:54If you're at all like me, chances are you had those 10 cent quote unquote ramen packages
- 16:58that come in with some shit ass noodles and a packet of just salt.
- 17:03You had a couple of those in the cupboard growing up.
- 17:06But I hope by now that you've been put on game of what ramen actually is because them
- 17:10shits that you can get like a palette for five dollars.
- 17:13That's not it.
- 17:14So if you're also like me, chances are that you don't have a solid ramen shop near you.
- 17:19Fs in the chat for us.
- 17:21But I'm about to change your ramen fortunes for the better.
- 17:24So for my first order from the Ramen Bay, I got three things.
- 17:27Oyster mushrooms, enoki mushrooms and the fish cakes go by Naruto.
- 17:32Yeah, believe it.
- 17:34They come they all come vacuum packed and they're all dried out.
- 17:38So you don't have to worry about them, you know, turning shitty after opening it.
- 17:41And then a day later, it's all, you know, rotten or whatever.
- 17:44If you enjoy ramen like actual ramen with good broth, good noodles, good flavor, these
- 17:50additions are an absolute must.
- 17:52The enoki mushrooms are my personal favorite.
- 17:54They add a lovely crunch that just because of how they look, they hide in the noodles
- 18:00and you just never know when you're going to get a mouthful of them.
- 18:02And it's excellent.
- 18:04The fish cakes, they taste good.
- 18:07And yes, but when you see them, you'll understand what I mean when I say that they're just fun
- 18:11to have in the bowl.
- 18:12If you want to get 10% off every order and you want to help us out in the process, go
- 18:17to LVX.be.
- 18:19I'm going to be completely honest as I as I'm finishing recording this spot, I'm going
- 18:25to go make me some ramen using my ramen bay ingredients.
- 18:29Thinking about the enoki mushrooms really, it's got me grumbling.
- 18:33So check out ramen bay.
- 18:35Use this link LVX.be.

- 18:47Don't worry about it.
- 18:48Okay, into our previews.
- 18:52Thursday, January 30th.
- 18:55Yvonne Michelle promotion is back.
- 18:59They're doing a card in Montreal.
- 19:01I don't really know who these people are.
- 19:04I'm guessing they're this is like a prospect or to contender sort of push.
- 19:10The top two are undefeated 20 and 0 and 19 and 0.
- 19:14So that's fun.
- 19:15I don't recognize a single name on here.
- 19:18I don't either.
- 19:19Friday, January 31st.
- 19:23This is in London.
- 19:24So this was started about midday on the West Coast.
- 19:28This is a what is it?
- 19:30Matchroom next gen or whatever.
- 19:32It's their prospect series.
- 19:34So I don't know if they're if you like British stuff.
- 19:38Discord has plenty of Brits to talk about it with.
- 19:43From the first Saturday Wembley Arena.
- 19:47What did you think I was talking about?
- 19:52There's no look it's boxer.
- 19:53So it's like not a great card.
- 19:56Adam Azim for Sergey Lipinets.
- 19:59It's the vacant IBO 140 title that other than that, it's not a whole lot going on.
- 20:04Sergey Lipinets is fighting for a title.
- 20:08A fringe title.
- 20:09But yes.
- 20:10In 2025.
- 20:13He's crazy.
- 20:14Yeah.
- 20:15I like Sergey, but he's old.
- 20:18It's about time to start looking at like coaching or something.
- 20:22Get out of the ring yourself.
- 20:26The one we've all been waiting for.
- 20:30Blue versus orange or copper, I guess.
- 20:33And discord David Benavides versus David Morrell.
- 20:38Let me work from the bottom up.
- 20:41Rowenley Hernandez versus Angel Astorga.
- 20:46Ten round middles 160s.
- 20:49Jesus Ramos is back baby versus Jason Rosario.
- 20:52Ten round 154s.
- 20:54Is Jason Rosario the banana man?
- 20:57Yes.
- 20:58I did not know that nickname.
- 21:00I can't decide if I love it or hate it.
- 21:03But they were calling him that on discord and I had to get an explanation as to why.
- 21:11He's from the Dominican Republic.
- 21:12Yeah, that's the explanation.
- 21:13Yeah.
- 21:14Yeah, that's what I thought.
- 21:16I wasn't sure if it had anything to do with like his ding dong or something.
- 21:19Yeah, my childish brain could not think of any possible reason other than he has a huge
- 21:24shlong and they can't just call him big dick Rosario.
- 21:28But apparently it's because he's from the Dominican Republic.
- 21:33So makes sense.
- 21:35Yeah, I don't know how this is going to go for him.
- 21:37He's been having a bit of a hard time.
- 21:40He had that draw with Jarrett Hurd that I think he won.
- 21:44That was a pro box a while ago.
- 21:46He's got four losses all by KO, which is usually not good when the the KO start adding up.
- 21:53Yeah, the one with a Jermell with the Charlo.
- 21:57That's not it was weird.
- 22:00He got he took a jab somewhere and he just kind of laid down and started looked like
- 22:05he was I don't know, heaving or something.
- 22:08I don't know.
- 22:10Adding up Mirko Cuello versus Christian Olivo.
- 22:14Ten round one twenty six Pitbull Cruz versus Angel Fierro.
- 22:18Ten rounds at one forty.
- 22:21Isaac Cruz.
- 22:22I mean, Pitbull should win this one, right?
- 22:25Yeah, this is like a kind of a gimme for him.
- 22:28It's a respectable opponent.
- 22:30I think Pitbull needs a couple.
- 22:32What do you call them?
- 22:33Confidence boosters.
- 22:34And we'll see how he looks here because that was a pretty rough loss from with Rio.
- 22:41That would hurt the confidence.
- 22:42It would hurt mine.
- 22:43I'd say that I can say that much.
- 22:45Moving up, co-main event WBC featherweight title Brandon Figueroa was promoted and he's
- 22:51fighting Steven Fulton again.
- 22:53I like Figueroa.
- 22:54Yeah, I'm hopeful that Fulton can put himself back together.
- 23:00I don't care.
- 23:02I like Steven Fulton, so there's.
- 23:04Yeah, I guess there's no lose in this scenario for me because if Figueroa beats him or sorry,
- 23:12if Fulton beats Figueroa, people have to admit that he wasn't watched when Inoue beat him
- 23:19because I'm sick of people saying that Inoue never fights anybody who's any good.
- 23:24I'm sorry.
- 23:25Fulton was washed.
- 23:26Well, you've seen the people on Discord.
- 23:30I am so I'm like fucking flabbergasted here.
- 23:35What?
- 23:36I guess not washed.
- 23:37Washed is the wrong word.
- 23:39They're like, oh, well, Fulton was never that good to begin with.
- 23:42What?
- 23:43Exactly.
- 23:44So I want to Figueroa to win.
- 23:46But if Fulton does, maybe people will have to stop talking shit a little bit.
- 23:51They're not going to stop.
- 23:53Nobody ever stops.
- 23:54He beat Angelo Leo clean.
- 23:57That win has aged extremely well.
- 24:00And he beats Figueroa in the first one is really, really close, really competitive.
- 24:04But Fulton like kind of beat Figueroa at his own game.
- 24:08Danny Roman.
- 24:10Maybe Roman's a little overrated, I guess, but still a solid win.
- 24:13I don't know what the fuck people want.
- 24:14What do you want?
- 24:15I don't know, man.
- 24:16I don't fucking get it.
- 24:18Fulton is fantastic.
- 24:20That is an incredible win for Inoue.
- 24:23So I don't know.
- 24:24Shut the fuck up, hater, nerd, bitch people.
- 24:28I turned my head and said that to the screen I have Discord on.
- 24:32I said it to Discord.
- 24:34Go me.
- 24:35I also just like Figueroa because I don't think he does.
- 24:40Not that there would be anything wrong with it if he does, but he always looks like he
- 24:43has eye makeup on.
- 24:45He does.
- 24:47He's got like crazy eyelashes or something.
- 24:50I don't know what it is.
- 24:51And he's got the Superman curl.
- 24:53So you have to fear for him.
- 24:56And the main event, David Benavidez, the interim WBC light heavyweight champ versus David Morrell,
- 25:04the WBA regular champ at light heavyweight.
- 25:08I want to try because we're both on the Benavidez team in Discord.
- 25:14We're both the copper color.
- 25:16Yeah.
- 25:18What avenues does Morrell have to win?
- 25:21Like try to try to like workshop a winning strategy for him.
- 25:26Well, I mean, he's got to box him, right?
- 25:29I don't know.
- 25:30I don't think so.
- 25:31Just no.
- 25:32I don't think he would be like getting pinning Benavidez down and laying like throwing hands
- 25:38at him because he's really strong.
- 25:41So I guess.
- 25:42But Benavidez just needs to land that one punch, though.
- 25:47I feel like if I was fighting Benavidez, I would be more on the don't get hit side than
- 25:54the pinning him down.
- 25:58I've never seen Benavidez like he doesn't seem like a one hit sort of.
- 26:04He's an accumulation of damage kind of stuff.
- 26:07I guess.
- 26:08Yeah.
- 26:09I don't know.
- 26:10I don't think Morrell wins.
- 26:12I don't know, Leo.
- 26:13I'm bad at this one.
- 26:14Do you have a game plan for David Morrell?
- 26:17Yeah, no, it's come forward and keep Benavidez on the back foot.
- 26:21Benavidez on the back foot is like a garbage fighter.
- 26:24Fair enough.
- 26:25Fair enough.
- 26:26That's pretty much it.
- 26:28I mean, these guys are bigger than I usually watch.
- 26:31I don't I don't watch these guys that much.
- 26:33I picked Benavidez because I've seen him more.
- 26:37Like, Morrell doesn't have that many fights, does he?
- 26:41No, this is his 12th or 13th.
- 26:44I mean, obviously, he's he's really good, but I don't know.
- 26:49I just I haven't seen him fight that much.
- 26:52I know I've seen him at least once, but I think I I just think Benavidez wins.
- 26:59Yeah, I don't know.
- 27:00The fast hands, I think, are going to be the key for him.
- 27:04I guess Morrell does have quite a few knockouts, doesn't he?
- 27:07Like all of them.
- 27:08Yeah, he he put one dude into a coma because he had a brain bleed.
- 27:14Hmm.
- 27:15Fortunately, he survived and he stopped fucking fighting.
- 27:18I am looking for a very exciting fight on the going the distance.
- 27:24I would bet not probably.
- 27:26Yes, I would agree with that.
- 27:28We need to get one of the the degenerate betters on Discord to do picks for us.
- 27:37Just call them in.
- 27:38Be our betting.
- 27:39Oh, yeah.
- 27:40Tell me which are what are the good value bets?
- 27:44Yeah, yeah, because I don't do any of the side bet type stuff.
- 27:50I just bet on winners and losers.
- 27:52But the over unders and all that sort of stuff, I I never do that.
- 27:58But there's somebody on there that does a lot of the live betting to feel like I would
- 28:02lose a lot of money if I started live betting.
- 28:05I I don't like gambling.
- 28:07I think my biggest wager ever was 20 bucks.
- 28:12I'm not losing the house when I gamble.
- 28:16I don't know.
- 28:17Yeah, I'm not really sure what's it like.
- 28:19I can't talk up David Morrell because I don't think he's going to win.
- 28:23Yeah, it's tough.
- 28:24I miss Drip.
- 28:25He always picked the other person.
- 28:27I think that Morrell has people should call in and tell us why David Morrell wins.
- 28:33Yes, please do.
- 28:35833 Lux Pods, tell me why Morrell wins.
- 28:39Morrell has he has the ability.
- 28:42Like I said, if you keep Benavides on his back foot, he's it's going to be a bad night
- 28:47for him.
- 28:48And Morrell has very heavy hands.
- 28:50So that could be a problem.
- 28:52But I don't I just I don't know.
- 28:53I don't think he's going to be able to do that.
- 28:56Yeah, I think Benavides is just hard to keep on the back foot.
- 29:02You really have to get his respect.
- 29:04And Benavides can be pretty imposing.
- 29:09But Morrell is also they both have really big come forward pressure.
- 29:16And that's going to be a problem.
- 29:18Whoever established like you said, whoever gets the respect, that's the they're going
- 29:22to be in control of the night.
- 29:24Neither of these fighters go backwards.
- 29:28They just don't do it because they never have to.
- 29:30It's going to be a banger.
- 29:31Yes, absolutely.
- 29:32Who's
- 29:33bigger, like physically bigger?
- 29:38Morrell is six one.
- 29:41And I think Benavides is about the same.
- 29:44Yeah, six, two.
- 29:46So they're about the same size.
- 29:47Have they done any sort of standing face off things yet?
- 29:53Yes.
- 29:54I'm sure they have.
- 29:55Ah, yeah.
- 29:56They're the same height.
- 29:58But Benavides looks thicker.
- 30:00Do you know what I mean?
- 30:02Yes.
- 30:03The only difference is four inches, four inch advantage to Morrell.
- 30:08Oh, that could come into play.
- 30:09That's going to be a fucking problem.
- 30:11Yeah.
- 30:12He's going to have to use his jab and a boxer puncher instead of just a puncher.
- 30:19I don't think swarming is going to work on Benavides.
- 30:21I think he needs to be smarter than just like pressure only.
- 30:26He's going to need to jab and keep him on the outside and gain his respect.
- 30:31And I don't know.
- 30:33I don't think he can do it.
- 30:36Got to work the body for sure.
- 30:37Yeah, Benavides does look a little soft.
- 30:41I don't think he is, but he kind of looks soft with his shirt off.
- 30:45Kind of getting butterflies thinking about this one.
- 30:48I'm really excited.
- 30:49Yeah, it's going to be good.
- 30:51I am pretty excited for this one.
- 30:53Discord is going to be madness.
- 30:55Oh, God, it is.
- 30:58Gracism.
- 30:59Oh, I didn't even think about that.
- 31:01I was thinking about the fun people talking about it.
- 31:04But yeah, there's going to be a bunch of randoms come in.
- 31:08And well, the new onboarding features are set up and it has like you read the rules,
- 31:14right?
- 31:15Are you sure?
- 31:16Because the most important one is if you ask me for a fucking stream, I'm going to kick
- 31:19your ass.
- 31:20Yeah, we don't do that.
- 31:22We don't do that here.
- 31:23It's like, dude, just look around because I'm sure that what you want is around.
- 31:30I'm sure it is because I put it there.
- 31:34That is oh, February 1st is when my brother comes.
- 31:38But is that February 1st for me or February 2nd?
- 31:41Second.
- 31:42Oh, shit, Leo, I'm going to be on an airplane.
- 31:45I'll be sure to tag you with as many like conflicting headlines as possible.
- 31:53Awesome.
- 31:54Yeah, no, I didn't really think about this.
- 31:55We're going to be flying to Sapporo.
- 31:57I think when this fight is on.
- 32:00Airplanes have Wi-Fi these days.
- 32:01You can.
- 32:02I'm sure you could get it.
- 32:03Yeah, I'll figure something out.

- 34:18And let me end my part with another bit of life advice or life affirmations.
- 34:27So Ebenezer Scrooge and Charles Dickens Christmas Carol.
- 34:32But you were always a good man of business, Jacob faltered Scrooge.
- 34:36Business cried the ghost, wringing its hands again.
- 34:40Mankind was my business.
- 34:41The common welfare was my business.
- 34:43Charity, mercy, forbearance and benevolence were all my business.
- 34:48The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business.
- 34:54Remember that.
- 34:55Yeah, you're writing down actual quotes, putting pressure on me now, Leo.
- 35:01I'm going to have to start doing this too.
- 35:03I thought that's what we were doing.
- 35:05That was the New Year's resolutions.
- 35:08I've already broken my New Year's resolution.
- 35:11I totally didn't prepare for any of this.
- 35:14Drink water, water, water, straight up water is good for you.
- 35:19H2O is delicious.
- 35:21It is.
- 35:22It is.
- 35:23I, not parting words, but just fun things.
- 35:26I have decided to also make a little more time for video games.
- 35:29And months ago, I bought Total War.
- 35:33I love real time strategies, but I am shit at them.
- 35:36So this one has a mix of turn based and real time and I am still shit at the real time.
- 35:42But the turn base I am getting the hang of.
- 35:44So I am learning Japanese history through video games.
- 35:49Believe it on that.
- 35:51Call the fucking number.
- 35:52Tell me what you think about the date.
- 35:53Which David is going to win?
- 35:55Don't give me that.
- 35:56David versus David.
- 35:57Don't give me that.
- 35:58Oh, I think David is going to win.
- 35:59No, you're not original and you're not fucking funny.
- 36:01That's what that's what the candy ass roll is.
- 36:04What color are you making candy ass?
- 36:05Because I think it should be purple.
- 36:07It's a bright sort of red, pinkish red.
- 36:10I think it should be purple.
- 36:12Purple is a much worse color than pink.
- 36:14I will have you know that purple is my favorite color.
- 36:17Oh.
- 36:18Ever.
- 36:19God.
- 36:20I'll go cry in shame with my purple stuff.
- 36:24All right, we're out of here.
- 36:28See you on the other side.
- 36:29See you on the other side.
