This shit ain't nothing to me, man. This is Boxing
0:03
Before Dark. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Back. Back.
0:06
Back. Back. Back. Before. Before. Before. Before.
0:11
Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing Before Dark. This
0:15
is Boxing Before Dark. Time. All right. Boxing
0:27
Before Dark. Floor beer edition. Shanada, we
0:32
are drinking. Yes, I got home super late. So
0:39
late, I forgot to put the beer in the fridge
0:41
that I bought on my walk home. Floor beers. I
0:46
also have a floor beer. At the fucking bar last
0:50
night, I was trying to order a Sapporo, and the
0:54
lady... didn't understand my English pronunciation
0:57
of Sapporo. So I ended up with an Asahi. Because
1:03
she understood Asahi, but not Sapporo. I'm like,
1:07
I say them both badly. Maybe she just wanted
1:13
to give you the one that had ass in the name.
1:16
Maybe. I don't know. This happens a lot. I have
1:22
to order beer by the brand name because they
1:24
don't understand when I say beer. Which drives
1:28
me fucking insane because that's also the word
1:30
they use. Beer? Yeah, but when I try that, they
1:36
look at me like I'm crazy. I don't hold the right
1:40
number of counts or something. Stupid. Bitches.
1:49
Well, speaking of bitches, Edgar Berlanga lands
1:54
a one -year Zufa contract worth eight figures.
2:01
That's ten mil or more. Like I've said before,
2:08
I hope these guys bleed Zufa dry. Berlanga is
2:12
not worth ten million dollars. No, he most certainly
2:15
is not. This is fucking atrocious. Who the fuck
2:23
pays $10 million for Berlanga? Well, if Connor
2:28
Ben at 15 is the standard, I guess Berlanga's
2:31
worth $10 million. Yeah, I suppose. But yeah,
2:36
this is crazy. And he fights at a division that
2:41
Zufa doesn't acknowledge. They will now. You
2:46
think so? You think they're gonna... They're
2:48
gonna do what they did with Jai. Just make an
2:51
exception for... A name? 100%. Out of convenience.
2:58
Well, and isn't the Ben fight at a catchweight
3:02
that nobody recognizes? Well, catchweights are
3:06
not unheard of, even in UFC. They're not common
3:10
over there, but still. Yeah, but we're not recognizing
3:14
all of the standard weight classes, but we're
3:18
going to do catchweights. Right. Yeah, like if
3:21
you didn't, you wouldn't have to do a catchweight
3:23
if you had acknowledged one of the in -between
3:25
weights from middle to vulture. It probably would
3:31
be easier for Connor Bentu, your $15 million
3:34
investment. Nah, the Zufa... rules that they
3:42
made for themselves don't mean shit. Clearly.
3:48
Because doesn't somebody with Zufa have an IVF
3:52
belt fight coming up? Richardson Hitchens. Yeah.
3:57
And I noticed it's not for the Zufa belt. Well,
4:01
yeah, there's no Zufa weight division. Oh, is
4:07
that the excuse they're using? Because I'm pretty
4:09
sure it's just because Hitchens wouldn't fight
4:11
for Azufa Bell because he'll get stripped by
4:13
the IDF. This was something I had mentioned.
4:19
It was more of a joke, but with top rank, and
4:24
now we'll talk about in a second, Goldenboy going
4:27
back to DAZN, they should each have a title,
4:33
a sanctioning body assigned to them. and your
4:37
guys fight for this title, and then at the end
4:40
of the year, just at some determined time, the
4:44
titleists all face each other. I mean, that would
4:49
be kind of cool, and it's kind of how it already
4:53
works. I mean, not officially, but... Yeah, like
4:57
certain orgs... Like, Eddie Hearn loves the IBF.
5:02
PBC typically works with WBC. Queensberry's kind
5:10
of all over the place, aren't they? Mostly WBO,
5:13
but not exclusively, like top rank is. But why
5:19
not give the Zufa the IBF? Why not just let Zufa
5:28
go play in the corner by themselves? That would
5:31
be the ideal outcome, I think. Have Berlanga
5:35
and Berlanga -esque. Fighters go over there,
5:40
take a 10 mil contract for one, two, maybe three
5:44
fights. And bounce. Berlanga's not fighting three
5:48
times in one year. Certainly not. No fucking
5:50
way. No, but a little more like a younger fighter
5:54
could. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of young fighters,
6:02
Golden Boy has returned home. And we'll be back
6:07
on DAZN. It's a multi -year deal. I haven't seen
6:10
the specifics of the annual budget like they
6:14
did with Top Rank. But Goldenboy's back. I think
6:20
I've said it before. I'm kind of excited everybody's
6:22
on the same broadcast system. I think it's one
6:28
less sticking point for cross -promotion. It
6:32
is something that we've talked about before where...
6:35
It's not necessarily DAZN that we want everyone
6:41
to be on. It's just we want them to be in one
6:44
place. Together, yeah. This could be on Amazon
6:47
Prime. It could be on fucking ESPN. I really
6:50
don't care. But this makes DAZN Ultimate a lot
6:56
more appealing. So, did you hear about DAZN Ultimate
7:01
in Canada? No. Because I hadn't heard about this.
7:04
Yeah, you don't get the pay -per -views. What
7:06
the fuck? What's the point? Yeah, you get, like,
7:09
the higher resolution and some bullshit. But
7:14
yeah, I saw a very angry post, rightfully so.
7:18
And the guy's like, I paid for DAZN Ultimate,
7:20
and I didn't find out there was no pay -per -views
7:24
involved until after, like, the confirmation
7:27
email came. Because... We get all the American
7:32
commercials. So any commercials he saw said The
7:36
Zone Ultimate gets you all the pay -per -views.
7:38
Yeah. I would go for that too. Especially now.
7:44
Yeah, but I guess this was a couple weeks ago.
7:48
But that's... I haven't heard any different since
7:52
then. That's really stupid. That is so stupid.
7:55
It's fucking crazy. Yeah. So if you're thinking
8:00
about DAZN Ultimate, make sure in your area...
8:03
You get the pay -per -views. Yeah, it's actually
8:07
worth it. It's actually Ultimate. That's sleazy
8:11
as fuck. Because even on DAZN, I still get the
8:17
American DAZN commercials on DAZN, even though
8:19
I'm in Japan. Because I don't think the Ultimate
8:22
thing's a thing here, because most of the pay
8:24
-per -view fights... are not really pay -per
8:28
-views here. Because they're at such weird times.
8:31
Right, yeah, you're not going to charge somebody
8:32
$75 to watch some shit at like 3 in the morning.
8:37
Yeah, they're usually like $30, $35 here. Not
8:42
bad. And, I mean, I'm a degenerate, so I wake
8:45
up at 2 a .m. to watch them, but, you know. Would
8:49
we be here if you weren't a degenerate? No. I
8:54
probably wouldn't be here if I wasn't the resident
8:56
midget expert either. Aficionado? Yeah. Aficionado.
9:03
Excuse me. Holy shit. Aficionado. Look at that.
9:10
That works. Moving on. Dimitri Beeble versus
9:15
Michael Eifert. It's now going to be headlining
9:17
its own card. It's going to be in Russia. It's
9:21
not going to be on the... Giza card. So, just
9:28
want to guarantee even fewer people watch it.
9:32
I mean, that Giza card's just a fucking shitshow
9:36
anyways. Yeah. But it would be nice to have real
9:44
boxing on the shitshow card that the casuals
9:49
are going to watch. Right. Even Jake Paul knew
9:54
to put real fights on his co -mains and stuff.
10:00
Yeah. Like, that... I get the point is money.
10:05
The point is always money. But the point to me
10:09
for boxing as a sport of these bullshit cards
10:14
is to get casuals that'll show up for the circus
10:18
and put a good fight in front of them. So they're
10:21
like, oh, this boxing stuff's kind of cool. Yeah.
10:24
You know? Yeah, I know. I know what you mean.
10:30
So Beeble styling on Eifert, not going to happen.
10:34
I mean, yeah. That's also probably not the best
10:38
thing for casuals anyways. They need Pro Box
10:42
matchups on these cars. Pro Box needs to... Everybody,
10:49
like if there's going to be a UBO, it should
10:52
be Pro Box. And everybody just falls under that
10:55
umbrella. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The matchmakers at
10:59
Pro Box are fucking golden. Whoever is doing
11:02
the matchmaking needs a raise. They do not mess
11:06
around with their matchmaking. It's fantastic.
11:10
I don't know if this is fantastic. Matchroom
11:14
extends its partnership. With Riyadh's season.
11:20
I don't feel that good about it. I have to say,
11:22
this kind of surprised me a little. It didn't
11:25
seem like Turkey was really fucking with Matchroom
11:28
anymore. It doesn't seem like Turkey's fucking
11:31
with anyone but TKO at this point. Yeah, like...
11:35
I mean, I guess bleed the Saudis for what they're
11:39
worth, but... I don't know. I'm kind of indifferent
11:43
to this one. But matchroom extends with the Saudis.
11:51
I've also seen Oscar De La Hoya is trying to
11:56
get back into the Saudis' good graces. Oscar
12:01
needs money. Yeah, I was going to say it makes
12:03
perfect sense because he is short on cash. So
12:09
what do you expect? What are you going to do?
12:14
Fabio Wardley, Daniel Dubois undercard has been
12:18
announced. I'm just going to go down the list.
12:21
Obviously, Wardley Dubois at the top. Jack Rafferty
12:24
versus Ekow Esumen. Jared Anderson versus Solomon
12:28
Dakers. When did Jared last fight? It's been
12:33
a minute, right? I think when he lost to Bacoli.
12:36
Wait, nope. He fought in February of 25 against
12:40
a Mario's. What card was that? Okay, so he knocked
12:50
over a can a year ago. That's a big layoff for
12:53
a young guy. Yeah, well, I think the Bacoli loss
12:57
really fucked with his mental. Yeah, Anderson
13:01
doesn't seem super locked in on boxing mentally.
13:05
He had been saying for the longest time he planned
13:08
to retire at the earliest 25, at the latest 30.
13:15
Yeah, if you're already thinking about retirement,
13:18
it's not a good sign. You know, like if you're
13:23
planning retirement in your early 20s, that's,
13:28
yeah, you don't care so much about boxing. Liam
13:34
Cameron vs. Bradley Rhea and Khalil Majeed vs.
13:39
Gavin Gwynn. Why do I know Gavin Gwynn? He got
13:46
a draw with Cameron Vuong. One of our... Ah,
13:51
that's why I know Gavin Gwynn. He lost to Mark
13:55
Chamberlain in Saudi Arabia. That was on the
14:04
Nick Ball Ray Vargas card. That was a while ago.
14:13
Six feet. At 140. Nah, that's not terrible. I
14:21
mean, that's a solid undercard, I guess. Yeah,
14:24
it's good for being, like, in the UK. It's nice.
14:30
It's a nice card. Yeah, a bunch of those guys,
14:32
I assume, are kind of... They must have followings
14:35
in the UK more than they deserve. Because it's
14:40
UK boxing. Lin in shambles. Now, speaking of
14:48
shambles, JCC Jr. is going to be fighting John
14:54
Casero in Mexico on April 25th. Why? Right. I
15:07
think things should be prefaced always with Other
15:13
than money, why? Yeah, I mean, but, like, nobody
15:19
wants to see JCC Jr. anymore. I can't even imagine
15:25
he has that many fans in Mexico anymore. No,
15:28
not after proving himself to be a shitter. Yeah,
15:33
like, who is excited for a JCC Jr. fight? You
15:38
buy a ticket because you might get to meet his
15:40
dad? You could go to any major promotion and
15:46
you can meet his dad. He's always doing Spanish
15:49
commentary. Yeah. I don't know why you buy a
15:54
ticket to see Junior. I don't either. Maybe you
15:59
want to throw beer or pizza at him? Fair. Man,
16:06
Senior really is a fucking man of the people.
16:09
He'll be... He will stay after like all the fights
16:14
are over and he will take a picture and stop
16:17
and talk with fucking everyone. Every single
16:20
person that wants to talk to him. If you want
16:22
a picture with him, you will get one. That's
16:26
excellent. I love when any athlete is like that.
16:29
Yeah. Yeah, he's for like for the little bit
16:34
that I've spoken to them or at least been present
16:38
while he was just taking questions at random.
16:41
He's a really good guy. It's really changed a
16:45
lot from his heyday when he was kind of like
16:48
Pacquiao was, like a bit of a womanizer and a
16:51
coke fiend. Ah. I mean, that kind of comes with
16:57
the money sometimes. Yeah. Delahoya, no different.
17:04
Delahoya is still a coke fiend. Yeah, well. Well,
17:10
we had mentioned Probox. Probox good. They did
17:13
not win this purse bid. Angelo Leo versus Raees
17:16
Alim. It's happening in Atlanta on May 9th. Who's...
17:22
I should know who Raees Alim is. No idea, to
17:30
be honest with you. Okay, so maybe I shouldn't
17:32
know. Let's see. The Beast. He's got the fake
17:43
scars cut in his eyebrow in his picture. I fucking
17:47
hate those. I've seen the fake scars. That was
17:51
a thing when I was in high school. When I first
17:54
got to high school, the older boys liked doing
17:57
that. They would put one like you got in a fight
18:01
or something and it got cut. So stupid. This
18:04
is just like a pattern carved in. I do recognize
18:11
him though. Who have I seen you fight? I'll be
18:17
backing Leo because I like Leo. His only loss
18:23
was to Sam Goodman. Not a terrible loss. Not
18:29
awful. He did get one card 8 -4. The other two
18:35
were 8 -4 and 9 -3. For Goodman. In Australia.
18:44
Yes. Only one of the. One of the judges that.
18:55
The judge that gave the 9 to 3. Is Australian.
18:59
The 8 to 4 Goodman was American. And then. The
19:04
Aleem card. Was Japanese judge. I don't know
19:10
if we've mentioned this, but the Japanese cards,
19:13
honestly, on a whole, like stereotyping, I would
19:17
say are pretty fair. When they're outside of
19:21
Japan. I think. Even in Japan, you don't get
19:25
that many robberies. You have the odd fighter
19:30
that obviously the boxing commission doesn't
19:33
like, but even the cards for those fighters aren't
19:36
terrible. Yeah, so it'll seem like any close
19:43
rounds just go to the other guy instead. Yeah.
19:47
But I mean, they're not like out -and -out robberies
19:50
like you sometimes get. Or I don't feel like
19:54
I've seen very many robberies. Bullshit, but
19:58
not robberies. Yes, like some fucky scores, but
20:03
not... It's like a Canelo... 10 -2 against Golovkin.
20:10
Yeah. You could have went 7 -5 and nobody would
20:15
have complained. She's such an idiot. Yeah. But
20:20
Angelo Leo, we share a name, so naturally I'm
20:26
on his team. He also seems like a cool dude.
20:30
He's fucking fun as fuck to watch. So I'm here
20:34
for it. Is he still with the Kamedas? I don't
20:40
know. I thought he was with Probox. No, he signed
20:45
with the Kamedas. Weird. Weird choice. Angelo.
20:54
Am I making shit up? No, you're right. He's with
20:58
Probox. Why did I think he was with the Kamedas?
21:02
I just hate them so much. Anyone who fights in
21:05
Japan that I like, I assume signed with him.
21:11
Nope. I just completely made that up. You know
21:16
what's not made up? Jaron Ennis and Xander Zayas
21:19
in June. At the end of June in Brooklyn. It's
21:24
signed. It's done. Yep. Excellent. That's the
21:29
day before my birthday, actually. Oh, wow. Nice
21:35
birthday present. It'll be my birthday in Japan.
21:40
Counts. Xander Zayas not fucking around. Yeah.
21:47
You gotta respect it. He went for all the smoke.
21:51
But I don't see how Zayas wins that one. If he
21:58
does, I might have to stop talking shit if he
22:03
wins. I've already decided. I've clowned on him
22:08
enough. Like, this move right here is like the
22:12
signal. This boy is not fucking around. Yeah,
22:15
but he went full greaseball, Leo. Full greaseball.
22:22
His walkout at his last fight. The greased hair.
22:26
The greasy, like... Goatee. Goatee. Yeah. It's
22:31
not a good look. He looks like such a fuckboy.
22:38
The question I've been posing in Discord has
22:41
been if, just in the minute possibility that
22:48
Xander Zayas wins, does Boots recover? Can he
22:52
recover from losing to Xander? I think if Xander
23:00
beats Boots, his stock goes way up. And it becomes...
23:06
Well, it depends on how Boots looks, I guess.
23:09
But I assume Boots Ennis will look like Boots
23:15
Ennis. And if Xander manages to beat that, I
23:19
think Xander's stocks go way higher. And he's
23:24
a unified champion, right? Yes. Xander Zayas?
23:28
So losing to a unified champion, I don't think
23:32
very often can lower your stocks that much. I
23:35
think Ennis would be fine. He'd have a short
23:39
rebuild, but I don't think it would tank his
23:43
career or anything. People would just have to
23:46
acknowledge that Xander Zayas is better than
23:50
they thought he was. I was thinking that people
23:53
would have to acknowledge that Boots is human
23:56
and he's not the... heir apparent to like Floyd
24:00
Mayweather, Terrence Crawford. Yeah, that would
24:04
also happen. But like, I don't think that tanks
24:06
your career being human. I don't think so either.
24:10
Like you asked if he could recover. I think he
24:14
could recover from losing to a unified champion.
24:17
Fair point. But yeah, it would, it would lower
24:23
his stocks. But I don't think it's going to tank
24:27
them. It's just like, he's a very good fighter
24:31
that, you know, lost once. I don't think one
24:35
loss is that bad, especially if you're losing
24:37
to champions. Yeah, I agree. I think what I'm
24:42
hoping to gauge when I ask this question is like,
24:46
are we done with the undefeated bullshit? Can
24:51
we stop with that? I mean, I've been done with
24:54
that bullshit for a long time. I never liked
24:57
that idea. I don't either. Personally, I think
25:00
if you are undefeated your entire career, depending,
25:04
but if you're undefeated your entire career,
25:07
you didn't challenge yourself enough. Yeah. The
25:11
only, like, people act like Floyd Mayweather
25:15
is the rule, not the exception. Yeah, well, and...
25:22
I like talking shit about Floyd. I was going
25:24
to say I don't want to talk shit about Floyd.
25:26
But I love talking shit about Floyd. But there
25:29
were challenges that he didn't take. True. You
25:35
can nitpick his career if you wanted to. Yeah.
25:39
And, like, I have to say, like, now he's on the,
25:46
like, retirement tour. But Usyk challenged himself.
25:51
True that. I don't think anyone can say Usyk
25:55
didn't take a lot of challenges in his career,
25:57
and he's still undefeated. I think... I mean,
26:01
Floyd took challenges he thought he could beat.
26:05
But... Calculated risks, not... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:09
Floyd was, in the last half of his career, was
26:12
Money Mayweather. And that's not... Like, I am
26:16
all for pretty boy Floyd, but Money Mayweather
26:19
fucking annoyed the shit out of me. I think a
26:24
good example of challenging yourself and losing
26:27
and still being held up as a good fighter is
26:34
Lomachenko. Challenged himself plenty of times
26:37
and he came up short a few times. Whatever. He's
26:41
still fucking incredible. Yeah, like, I don't
26:46
know. I know the zero being super important was
26:50
a huge thing to a lot of fans, but it never really
26:52
meant much to me. But I don't generally cheer
26:57
for people because of their skills so much. I
26:59
cheer for boxers that seem like fun guys. So
27:05
I'm not the standard. Yeah, I think... Yeah,
27:13
I was just trying to gauge how the guys in Discord
27:16
would react to an Ennis loss. There have been
27:22
some that would say he doesn't come back from
27:24
it. Like, he can't come back. I think they're
27:26
also down on Xander Zayas. Yeah, there's a lot
27:30
of people very low on Zayas. But if he manages
27:34
to beat Boots and Boots looks the way he usually
27:37
does, I think you have to acknowledge Zayas.
27:40
Yeah, I agree. And losing to a unified champion
27:45
I don't think should tank your boxing career.
27:48
That's crazy. Yeah, just have to acknowledge
27:52
that Zaius is legit. Yeah, he's better than you
27:57
thought he was. And that happens. Oh, well, better
28:03
than we thought. Ginjiro Shigeoka has been released
28:07
from the hospital. He's going home. Yeah. This
28:12
is... This is good, obviously. But, uh... Jinjiro's
28:18
not gonna have, uh... He's not going to suddenly
28:25
get better. That's, uh... Like, he's... It makes
28:32
me sad. He's gonna be in a chair, and it... I
28:36
don't think he can really speak a whole bunch.
28:39
And stuff. He's got a lot of physical therapy
28:42
to go through. Yeah. Like, rehabilitation and
28:48
stuff. But, like, did you see the post his brother
28:53
put up? Was it the family picture? Yeah, but
28:56
did you translate the... Okay. So... I just use
29:05
Google Translate, and I think it's very literal
29:08
and misses a lot of nuances, I know. But he sounded
29:14
a little like he wasn't sure about this. He retired
29:22
to look after his brother, and he's going to
29:24
look after his brother. I'm sure he's going to
29:25
do a great job. But he was kind of talking about
29:28
how the first day was hard. I see what you mean.
29:34
Like, I think one of the things he mentioned
29:37
was his having to help his brother go to the
29:40
bathroom often. And, like, yeah, that's going
29:44
to be a huge life change. I don't think I could
29:47
take care of somebody that was that injured.
29:51
Like, I am not a super good caregiver. So he
29:55
was, like, he was happy his brother's home, but
29:57
he's like, my life is going to get hard. the
30:01
the caption was an apology for closing the cafe
30:05
until further notice oh like until he gets in
30:10
the swing of things he's like the cafe is closed
30:12
it's going to be at least a week but it might
30:15
be longer uh basically like i'll update you please
30:20
come back i need my cafe to work yeah he didn't
30:24
say it like that but that was kind of the the
30:27
feeling i got from the caption Damn. It's gonna
30:33
be tough. I can't imagine, like, how hard it
30:37
is to see your brother that... Having to help
30:42
him wipe his ass, pretty much. Yeah, well, and
30:46
just, like, his brother was an athletic guy.
30:49
Yeah. Right? Like, seeing the huge change, like,
30:53
he can't go to the bathroom by himself, he, I
30:57
assume, can't feed himself or anything, like...
31:00
That's gotta be really hard. Yeah, I think so,
31:03
too. I can't imagine, like, my brother's not
31:09
an athlete, but he's a healthy kid. Kid. He's
31:12
30. 30 -something. But, like, I can't imagine
31:17
if I suddenly had to, like, take care of my brother
31:21
like he was a child. You know? With, like, an
31:26
elderly parent, you can kinda... It's a little
31:30
different, because like you said, it's like a
31:32
healthy person, and then just... They're not
31:36
anymore. And they're suddenly not, right. And
31:39
it's completely different from a baby or an elder.
31:46
Those make sense. I hope Jinjiro, he's not going
31:52
to get better, but I hope they get in a routine
31:56
and everything works out. I think with proper
31:59
care and the physical rehab, as we've mentioned,
32:04
I think his condition can improve. Yeah. He's
32:08
not going to get better, but he can improve,
32:11
I think. I think he'll find some semblance of
32:14
independence again. I think he can. I think that's
32:19
pretty optimistic. I think Jinjiro has too much
32:22
brain damage. I don't think he'll ever stand
32:25
up again. Yikes. And, like, I don't think he
32:30
can talk. They always say he communicates. I
32:33
get the feeling he can't make sentences and stuff.
32:38
I think he just writes a word on, like, a board
32:41
or something, or says a single word. Yeah, I
32:44
don't think he can write. Maybe, like, the touchpads,
32:51
but... There's a lot of very good... equipment
32:56
out to help people now to communicate like they
33:02
have that eye tracking uh software now where
33:06
they can like type by looking and stuff but they
33:10
they haven't said too much about how uh bad his
33:16
disabilities are but anytime they say communicate
33:18
instead of talking i always assume it's really
33:22
not good You don't play boxing. No, you do not.
33:34
Anything more for the news? I would really like
33:39
to have a non -bummer thing to talk about, but
33:42
I don't think I have any more news. Let me just
33:46
check really quick. On the front page of Boxing
33:53
Scene, Thomas Taylor... Rises as the world's
33:59
best referee. Difficult to disagree. Yeah, I
34:04
like Thomas Taylor. I like Harvey Dock, too.
34:09
I'm not sure why people got down on him all of
34:12
a sudden. Well, not all of a sudden, but in the
34:14
last year or two years, people have suddenly
34:17
been down on Dock, and I don't know why. He had
34:22
something weird he did. He had one questionable...
34:27
When he... When Jermall Charlo fought Jose Benavidez,
34:31
he did have a questionable performance then.
34:35
I remember that, but I don't know what happened
34:38
after that. He's the guy with the eyes, right?
34:43
Harvey Darrell? No, that's Steve Willis. Ah.
34:48
The guy that does the crab walk. Did I just do
34:50
a racism? No. Steve Willis isn't bad. But I know
34:57
that there have... I've talked to people that
34:59
don't like him because of the way he... Like
35:01
his facial expressions and stuff. They think
35:04
that he's inserting himself into the fight by
35:07
doing that. I think that's just the way he is.
35:10
I think so too. He's reacting viscerally. Yeah,
35:13
yeah, yeah. It's not him trying to put on a show.
35:17
Man, there's bummer stuff here too. Oh, one thing
35:21
you didn't mention here. I think you might have
35:24
talked it on. about it on b -sides but the uh
35:27
the mexican girl isis i forget her last name
35:31
ceo yeah she's uh she went home yeah she's out
35:37
of the hospital as well yeah yeah yeah she's
35:40
actually like okay yeah um she needs to retire
35:46
though at the very least it's gonna be like a
35:51
year maybe a year and a half away And she's only
35:56
19. She's only 19 and she's not like... I don't
36:02
know how to say it nicely, but she's not that
36:04
good. She was just starting out, so it's not
36:08
like you're throwing away a legendary career
36:10
or something. That's what I mean, yeah. You gave
36:15
it an honest go. Didn't work out. You're young.
36:20
Pick something else to do. Coach? Train? Be a
36:25
trainer? Yeah, she's fucking 19. You can do anything
36:29
at 19. She could become a nurse or a doctor or
36:36
an engineer or fucking anything. Join the military.
36:40
No, don't do that. Yeah, don't do that. Don't
36:43
do that. That's a bad idea. Not right now, anyway.
36:50
But yeah, Isisio, she's walking, talking. Everything
36:55
seems to be okay. Still tracking it. Which is
36:58
excellent news. Yes. Now, anything more for the
37:05
news? Yeah. We can end on a nice... Positive.
37:10

40:39
in the military and throughout my life since,
40:41
I've tried my fair share of energy drinks, all
40:44
the different brands, all the different flavors,
40:46
and it took some time to find a favorite. But
40:49
if you're looking for an alternative to the energy
40:51
drink jitters and skipping the morning trip to
40:54
the coffee shop, then you need to try Dubby.

That's lvx .be slash d -u -b -b -y. Alright,
41:54
into the recaps. Starting off with... MF Pro.
42:02
At the SSE Arena in Belfast. Only fight really
42:07
we're talking about here. Mickey Conlin drops
42:09
the ball, loses the split decision to Kevin Walsh,
42:12
and retires. Has he not retired before? I swear
42:17
to God. He has. He has. Okay. He should make
42:21
it for real this time. I was super high on Mickey
42:25
Conlin coming out of the amateurs, but he just
42:29
doesn't have the chin for the pros. In my opinion.
42:34
I mean, you're schooling Lee Wood, and then you
42:37
get... Fucking iced. WWF thrown out of the ring.
42:44
Yeah, that was so fucking crazy. I didn't know
42:47
whether to be happy for Wood or sad for Conlon,
42:51
because I like both of them. But yeah, I just...
42:55
Not everybody transitions well, and Mickey Conlon
43:01
wasn't made for the pros. In my opinion. But
43:07
I really liked him coming out of the amateurs.
43:09
I thought he was going to be good. I think that's
43:14
why I didn't like him. It was just because he
43:18
was... The way when he signed with Top Rank,
43:21
they tried to anoint him as the next coming of
43:26
Boxing Jesus. Yeah, yeah. The promotion was...
43:32
over the top. Agreed. Yeah, it's a little rough.
43:37
But yeah, he should go back to promoting. He
43:41
was doing good there. Conlon Boxing was putting
43:44
on a lot of shows on DAZN. Saturday, March 21st.
43:50
First things first. The Copperbox Arena Matchroom.
43:56
Fucking, who really cares who these people are?
43:59
Emmanuel Buttigieg got a nice knockout over...
44:04
Scroll. Jake Goodwin. In the co -main, Jimmy
44:11
Saines gets the majority decision over Derek
44:14
Osaze. And George Ladard, UD over Tyler Denny.
44:20
Not very competitive. This was a very Brit. Break
44:27
card. Yeah. I personally do not care about any
44:31
of these people. It's good to keep an eye because,
44:37
like, Ladard is a matchroom guy. He's going to
44:44
get thrust into contention. Yeah, yeah. I'm not
44:50
saying people shouldn't follow, but, like...
44:53
I had no emotions in this card, I guess. Oh,
44:56
yeah, I didn't care either. For me, it was, like,
44:59
purely academic to be watching. Yeah, yeah. Who
45:02
the fuck is George Ladard, and who might he fight
45:07
in the future? Tyler Denny. I'd prefer Tyler
45:10
Ihop. Moving on. ProBoxTV in San Bernardino.
45:20
California. Let's see. Jocelyn Camarillo knocks
45:25
out Isisio in the first. Like, maybe don't send
45:31
them to the hospital next time, Jocelyn, but
45:34
keep getting those knockouts, girl. Yeah. Sammy
45:40
Contreras knocks out Cesar Cantu in the second.
45:45
That shit was not even close. Albert Gonzalez
45:52
stops Brandon Chambers in the first. Fucking
45:57
Kudratilo Abdukakarov. You son of a bitch. He
46:03
retires with a migraine? After the first show?
46:08
Yeah, did you see the controversy he started
46:13
online? No, what was it? Ah, so some like small
46:20
time boxing media guy i can't remember who it
46:25
was i should um dm'd him and asked him like are
46:31
you good how did the hospital go and stuff he's
46:34
like yeah i'm all good it all checked out but
46:37
i had to quit my health comes first perfectly
46:41
there yep uh but then unprompted he put in the
46:48
reply that provost hadn't paid him oh shit i
46:51
did see that i didn't see what came of it though
46:54
no well and like this was less than a week after
46:58
the fight like i i don't know how boxing pay
47:02
usually works but like you know two weeks to
47:07
get paid isn't unheard of let's see if google
47:13
returns anything But yeah, I really don't want
47:17
Provox to be dicks. Yeah, he confirms he did
47:25
not get paid for the fight. That's... Yeah. That's
47:33
not cool. I would say this is an instance...
47:36
This is like a specific case where the Ali Revival
47:42
Act rules... could come into play like you competed
47:46
for one round so you can get paid for a round
47:50
yeah i i don't know how to feel about this one
47:57
because boxers who don't feel well should stop
48:01
the fight like obviously but why go in at all
48:07
then yeah well with only one round Why go in
48:11
at all? And it's not like he took a lot of damage.
48:15
Yeah, I... I don't know how to feel about this
48:19
one. I mean, he needs to get paid something.
48:22
I think. Yeah. But... I also just don't want
48:28
Probox to be dicks. Like, I want to be able to
48:32
like Probox with no caveats. Yeah, this is a
48:38
strange case, and I'm definitely interested to
48:42
see how they handle this. Gary Jonas doesn't
48:47
seem like a douchebag. No, and I mean, this is,
48:52
what, one week ago? No, more than... Okay. So
49:00
maybe they're still just processing it. Maybe
49:05
Probox is looking to see if they have a legal
49:08
reason to pay him not the full purse. Which I
49:13
think is fair. I think so anyway. With a one
49:18
round retirement and there was actually nothing
49:22
wrong I could see a reduced purse being reasonable
49:28
for sure. But like also Fighters should get paid.
49:37
I'm torn on this one. I don't know how to feel
49:40
about this. How do you feel about Lester Martinez
49:44
winning the interim WBC super middleweight title?
49:50
I thought Lester looked really good in this fight.
49:54
Yeah, he showed his finesse more than any scrappy
49:58
kind of... Yeah, I mean, it wasn't the type of
50:02
fight I like. Like, it wasn't Lester versus Mbili,
50:09
but he showed that he has more talent than he
50:16
had showcased on a big stage before, I think.
50:22
Knesset is a good way to put it. Yeah. I'm really
50:26
high on Lester. Also, what was this for? interim
50:34
wbc super middleweight title so technically he
50:39
got the first belt for guatemala which was super
50:42
cool half belt i would say yeah i also don't
50:46
think it's a real belt but i mean i'm just happy
50:51
for lester and the guatemalan crowd showed up
50:55
they were loud as fuck holy shit i would have
50:59
man i would have loved to be there Yeah, it seemed
51:04
like it was a fun crowd. No, I'm happy for Lester.
51:09
The fucking rat tail is gross, but I want Lester
51:15
Martinez to do big things. He seems like a nice
51:19
guy. He seems pretty down to earth. He's... He's
51:25
a good boxer. Like, this isn't one of my, I just
51:28
want him to do well. He is good, and he deserves
51:31
his title shot. He needs to get the winner of
51:35
Canelo and Billy. I think if Canelo wins it,
51:40
he ducks him. 100%. I think so, too. Lester's
51:45
too much of a challenge for Canelo at this stage,
51:49
and Canelo still has the name to decide who he
51:52
fights. Man, I don't think Canelo and Beely should
51:57
be even happening in the first place. No, it
52:00
should have been a rematch. Yes, absolutely that
52:02
should have been. You do the rematch and the
52:05
winner fights Canelo. What the fuck is the problem?
52:08
And Beely should not have been... Elevated. Elevated.
52:13
I was going to say raised. But yeah, he should
52:15
not have been elevated after that fight. That
52:18
was too fucking close. It was a draw. Like...
52:22
Mbili did not deserve the title over Lester after
52:26
that last fight. Yeah, and Lester would have
52:29
fucking whooped him in the rematch. I'm certain
52:32
of it. Yeah, I'm 100 % certain. Well, and if
52:36
that fucking fight had been 12 rounds, Lester
52:39
would have beat him. 100%. No doubt in my mind.
52:43
Mbili was fading. But... We stan Lester Martinez
52:51
on this podcast. We ride with Lester. Aleem was
52:55
super tough. I was actually pretty impressed.
52:58
I was impressed that Aleem didn't go down. Yeah.
53:02
He'll get called back to Pro Box, for sure. For
53:09
sure. And I'll watch it. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah,
53:12
yeah. No discounting Aleem in this fight, really.
53:16
But Lester was just better. Yes. That's a good
53:19
way to put it. Oh man, speaking of better, last
53:26
bit in the recaps. Starting, this is matchroom
53:32
at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida. Starting
53:35
at the bottom, Tara Moana knocks out Curtis Harper
53:39
in the first. There was a little bit of a...
53:46
high strangeness uh curtis harper took his sweet
53:49
ass time coming out um he his intro song was
53:54
uh uh enter sandman and great song though yeah
54:00
and they got to like the guitar solo and he still
54:03
hadn't come out jesus yeah i missed this one
54:07
it's just the time's bad in japan it's fine like
54:11
it's terrible wanna did what terrible wanna does
54:13
it was uh I didn't want to wake up early to see
54:18
him knock somebody out, to be honest. I'm going
54:22
to continue to point out that I had said, just
54:28
as a joke, that when Curtis Harper sees or hears
54:33
the haka from Tara Moana, he's going to walk
54:38
out of the ring like he did against F .A. Adrogba.
54:41
Which did not happen. But once Tara Moana started
54:44
doing the haka, Curtis Harper left the ring.
54:49
After. Hilarious. After the fight. The timing
54:53
was just too good. I can't not point it out.
54:58
You know what you should have woken up for? Corey
55:02
Marksman. Were you up for this one? No. Oh, you
55:06
missed it. Wow. You missed a good one. Corey
55:10
Marksman lives up to his name. Super sharp. Punch
55:16
selection was just fucking fantastic. I was very
55:20
impressed with Marksman here. I should have went
55:24
back and watched it, I guess. Jacob Gomez was
55:27
a live dog the whole time. So it wasn't just
55:31
like a can crushing scenario. Omari Jones plays
55:39
it safe, gets the UD over Christian Gomez. He
55:43
had everything lined up to get a stoppage, but
55:47
he just didn't seem to want to press the tempo.
55:52
Yeah, he didn't want to take chances. This one
55:54
I did wake up for. I expected better. A little
55:59
disappointing. Yeah. I really expected better.
56:04
It's unfortunate. But whatever, man. You don't
56:07
want to take chances with your health. I get
56:09
it. But just something you would hope for as
56:12
a fan. You would hope. Yeah, to push for the
56:17
stoppage. Right. Everybody likes stoppages. Carlos
56:23
Adamas, WBC middleweight champion. Beats the
56:28
piss out of Austin Williams. Ammo, he went back
56:31
to. Fucking good. Good. He was rated third in
56:36
the WBC rankings when I checked, last I checked
56:40
before the fight. Carlos Adamas beat his ass
56:45
so bad he just moved up to super middleweight.
56:49
Excellent. Yeah, good stuff. Yeah. I beat you
56:55
so bad that you're changing neighborhoods. Yeah,
56:59
I'm leaving. See you guys later. I'm moving.
57:03
I got bullied and I'm gone. No, Carlos looked
57:10
really good. Yeah. I was impressed. Saul made
57:17
a joke like, I can't wait to see Adamas back
57:20
next year. Yeah. I think Super Middleweight will
57:27
ignite the competitive fire for Adamas. There's
57:34
better people here. And if he's coming up from
57:39
160 to 68 in the WBC side of the house, he's
57:44
got Lester Martinez, he's got Mbili there, that
57:47
he could, if he weren't able to knock those two
57:50
off, he could get a Canelo fight if he were to
57:54
do those in quick succession. Could he? Again,
57:57
I think Canelo's not looking for challenges at
58:01
this point. You're probably right. Looking good
58:08
kind of takes you out of the Canelo sweepstakes
58:11
these days. You are correct. Why is Terrence
58:18
Crawford still here? No shade. He retired and
58:25
he's made it extremely clear that he's done.
58:29
People don't want to believe. Terrence is one
58:34
of those guys, I think, when he says something,
58:37
he actually means it. I think so, too. That's
58:40
why I'm saying. I don't think Crawford's coming
58:42
back. Yeah. He had said in an interview that
58:48
because Janabek popped for PEDs, he decided he
58:53
was going to retire instead. He was going to
58:56
go to 160 and fight everyone there. And do the
59:01
four -weight undisputed... Are you fucking kidding
59:03
me, bro? Four -weight undisputed? It would be
59:07
big. Untouchable record. Like, that'll never
59:10
get... I don't think that'll ever be broken.
59:13
With quality opponents, I'll say. Who's here
59:21
for Carlos Adamas? Man, this division is stacked.
59:28
168 is super stacked. Yeah, from the top down,
59:33
Bud, Canelo, Hamza Shiraz, Jamal Charlo, Mbili,
59:38
Diego Pacheco, Oslis, Munguia, Jacob Bank, Jakub
59:45
Bank, pardon me, Lester at 10. Lester deserves
59:52
to be higher. That's bullshit. I would say he
59:54
should be higher than at least. Jakub and Jaime
59:58
Mugia. And Diego Pacheco should not be above
1:00:03
Oslis. No. Charlo should not be in the top ten.
1:00:11
Charlo hasn't fought in fucking forever. It's
1:00:15
been some time. He fought Cornflake almost a
1:00:19
year ago. I have the wrong Charlo, but I stand
1:00:24
by it. He hasn't fought anyone worth fighting
1:00:27
for a while. Yeah, still. The point stands. Anything
1:00:33
more for the matchroom card? Because we still
1:00:34
got the previews to get to. No, no. We can move
1:00:38
on. All right. Let me put some more notes in
1:00:41
here before we keep going. The phone line. 833

those simple pleasures to the hardest workers
1:04:40
on the planet, honeybees. But right now, bees
1:04:43
are facing unprecedented challenges from habitat
1:04:45
loss and climate change, and they need our help
1:04:48
to keep working. That's why we partnered with
1:04:51
Project Honeybees. They aren't just a conservation
1:04:54
group. They're a community dedicated to restoring
1:04:57
hive populations and connecting us with the hives

your support on your sleeve in a literal sense.

bee -themed jewelry. from delicate gold necklaces

piece is a conversation starter. More importantly
1:05:19
though, every single purchase directly funds
1:05:22
the placement of new hives, rescue of bees that
1:05:25

We've got a few of them. Some of them are quick.
1:06:05
We can browse, gloss over pretty quickly. Friday,
1:06:10
April 3rd. Matchroom on DAZN in Altrincham, England.
1:06:18
The main event, Pat Brown, the Team GB Olympian
1:06:23
versus Vasil Dukar. So that's nice. Let's see.
1:06:29
Saturday, April 4th. Boxer, also on DAZN. In
1:06:37
the US, it's on the zone. In the UK, it's on
1:06:39
BBC2, I think it is. Not a whole lot doing here.
1:06:49
Lauren Price, the IBF, WBA, WBC. Welterweight
1:06:53
champ versus Stephanie Aquino. Louis Parfait
1:06:59
spells both his names wrong. Just an FYI. That
1:07:04
says Louis? Yeah. Or maybe Louise? No, Louise
1:07:11
is a girl's name. I assume it's Louis. Moving
1:07:18
to... We're going to skip ahead really quick.
1:07:23
PBC on Prime at the Wynn Entertainment Center
1:07:28
in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. Not
1:07:32
a whole lot doing here either. The co -main event,
1:07:35
Sam Goodman. versus Rodrigo Ruiz. And the main
1:07:40
event, Tim Zhu versus Dennis Nuria. Yeah, it's
1:07:47
at least names I know. Yeah. Oh, they put Goodman
1:07:52
against an Argentinian. Oh, a tough Argentinian,
1:07:56
too. 23 -1. Yeah. I might throw a small amount
1:08:03
of money on the Argentinian. Those guys upset
1:08:08
people all the fucking time. Yeah, that's because
1:08:11
people don't fucking pay them their due respect.
1:08:16
Yeah. Argentina. Argentina. No. Yeah. Okay. Jesus
1:08:25
Christ. I need more sleep, Leo. Argentina. Yes.
1:08:30
Thank you. Argentina has good boxing. Yeah, absolutely.
1:08:35
We've talked about it. Plenty of times. Put some
1:08:39
fucking respect on their names. Argentines are
1:08:43
generally smug fucking douchebags. But they can
1:08:47
fucking fight. Yeah. And there are a lot of Argentines
1:08:53
that get brought up to be cans. So you never
1:08:56
fucking know. But this guy doesn't look like
1:08:58
a can. He looks like he's taking it serious.
1:09:02
I hope. I want Sam Goodman to suffer for wasting
1:09:08
Inouye's time. Yes, I agree. Fuck Sam Goodman.
1:09:15
We're riding with Rodrigo Ruiz. Last one for
1:09:23
Saturday, April 4th. Queensberry at the O2 Arena
1:09:28
in London. Man, oh man. What do we got on the
1:09:33
undercard here? A lot of names I don't know is
1:09:38
what we have. Denzel Bentley versus Andres Saavedra
1:09:42
for the interim WBO middleweight title. Remember
1:09:46
that Jannebeck was only suspended. So there you
1:09:50
go. Bullshit. Vidal Riley versus Matus Masternak.
1:09:57
This is an EBU. cruiserweight title ebu is just
1:10:02
the stepping stone to the wbc so worth paying
1:10:06
attention to because we want we want mccallion
1:10:10
to stop holding that belt hostage we do and main
1:10:17
event deontay wilder derrick chizora 100? Isn't
1:10:27
that the billing? That is the name of the event.
1:10:30
100. Chizora is going to chin Wilder and the
1:10:38
Americans will be in shambles. I absolutely will
1:10:42
be in shambles if Derek Chizora manages to...
1:10:46
If he stops Wilder, yes. If it's a decision situation,
1:10:53
I'm not... I'll be alright. Shambled? You're
1:10:57
not shambled? No. Nah, Chizora's gonna stop him.
1:10:59
I'll be in tatters, not shambles. Fair enough.
1:11:03
But Chizora's gonna stop him. I have complete
1:11:07
faith that Chizora is way less washed than Deontay
1:11:11
Wilder. Even if he is as washed, he has more
1:11:15
experience being washed. Yes. I heard that in
1:11:24
chat. Or I read that in chat, and I haven't been
1:11:27
able to stop laughing at it. It's true, though.
1:11:30
It is. Chizora is the washed goat. Nobody has
1:11:37
fought as well washed as Derek Chizora does.
1:11:48
I'm here for the American Missile. which may
1:11:56
be not the right time to be joking about missiles,
1:12:00
American missiles in particular, but Deontay
1:12:03
Wilder's right hand. The bronze bomber has been
1:12:06
fucking... He's dead. He's dead. Yeah. And it
1:12:10
breaks my heart. I'm still here for it. I'm going
1:12:13
down with the ship. Fucking salutes up to the
1:12:19
flag as we go down, as we submerge. I'm riding
1:12:25
with Wilder. I have to. Fair enough. You got
1:12:28
to ride with your boy, but there's no fucking
1:12:31
way he beats Chizora in my mind. It's just not
1:12:34
going to happen. Hmm. Shall we move on? Yeah.
1:12:42
All right. Sunday, April 5th. Two things here.
1:12:47
MVP, MVPW. On ESPN, I believe this is MVPW2.
1:12:56
We've got quite a few title fights on here. Chantel
1:13:00
Cameron versus Mikaela Kotaskova for the vacant
1:13:03
WBO 154 title. This is the one that Mikaela Mayer
1:13:08
just vacated. I assume Chantel Cameron's going
1:13:14
to make easy work of this one. Yes. She's the
1:13:19
top. 154 so on box rec anyway so for whatever
1:13:24
that's worth Irma Garcia the IBF super flyweight
1:13:30
champ will be facing first rated contender Emma
1:13:34
Dolan Ellie Scottney will be going for undisputed
1:13:41
with Mayeli Flores Scottney is the IBF, WBC,
1:13:48
WBO, Super Bantamweight Champion, and Mayeli
1:13:51
Flores is the WBA champ. So there can only be
1:13:56
one. There can be only one. God, get it right.
1:14:01
And in the main event, WBC, WBO, Lightweight
1:14:06
Unification, Caroline Dubois, and Terry Harper.
1:14:14
Terry Harper needs to stop. I know she's got
1:14:21
a couple wins lately, but Terry Harper has taken
1:14:25
too much damage, in my opinion. I'm just here
1:14:32
for whatever can keep Caroline in the headlines,
1:14:37
and maybe that'll lure Daniel out of the cult.
1:14:44
That's what I'm looking for. Yeah. I just, I
1:14:50
don't see how Terry Harper wins this one. To
1:14:54
be honest. But yeah, that weird cult situation
1:14:58
with the Dubois family is weird as hell. And
1:15:02
I hope Caroline gets all her siblings out of
1:15:04
it. Eventually. Last thing on the docket. Zufa
1:15:14
Boxing 5 at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas. Going
1:15:20
from the bottom up, we'll get to the main portion
1:15:23
in a moment. Emiliano Cardenas versus Alexis
1:15:26
Alvarado at Bantamweight. Troy Nash. Nice. That's
1:15:32
a good one. Should be a good one anyway. Versus
1:15:34
Brian Rodriguez at Feather. Jorge Maravillo and
1:15:39
Elias. Diaz at welter. Robert Merriweather III
1:15:45
vs. Tony Hirsch at lightweight. Alexis de la
1:15:50
Cerda vs. Irvin Fuller at feather. And in the
1:15:57
main portion, Azad Hovenissian vs. Eduardo Baez
1:16:01
at featherweight. Mark Magsayo vs. Fiergal McCrory
1:16:07
at lightweight. And Andres Cortez versus Erickson
1:16:11
Garcia at lightweight. I'm so sad Meg Zio signed
1:16:18
with these assholes. Me too. I mean, it's not
1:16:29
a bad card. No, it's not. Zufa's going to suck
1:16:34
all the fun out of everything. What color trunks
1:16:38
do you think Maxaya is going to wear? He's the
1:16:42
A side, so he's white, right? The A or B side
1:16:46
doesn't matter. You pick your color. Oh, okay.
1:16:51
I think he's going to wear black. Yeah, if he
1:16:54
gets to pick, he wears black. I have not been
1:16:56
paying enough attention. I assume the A side
1:16:58
was white. Good guys versus bad guys. Oh. Western.
1:17:08
color rules. Oh, okay. Like the old black and
1:17:11
white western. Yeah, I see what you mean now.
1:17:13
No, not in a racist way. But Shannara and racism
1:17:19
go together. I know, I know. Okay. We're almost
1:17:27
done. Yeah, that's all we got on the docket.
1:17:30
I will be hate -watching Zufa, as I always do.
1:17:34
I mean, if nothing else, I watch this so that
1:17:38
you don't necessarily have to. You can just enjoy
1:17:44
my recap. I try and pirate Zufa even though it's
1:17:51
on YouTube. Oh, it's on YouTube for you. That's
1:17:54
right. Yeah. I still pirate it. I don't want
1:17:59
to give them views. Ethical pirate. I will be
1:18:10
the captain of the ship. And as many people can
1:18:14
board the LSS fucking fuck Zufa. Yeah. All right.
1:18:28
Well, we are going into Wilder Chisora weekend.
1:18:34
Parting words. Parting words. Go to bed before
1:18:41
the sun comes up would be my parting words today.
1:18:44
Usually a good thing to do. Yeah, sunrises are
1:18:48
overrated. That shit sucks. Do illiterate people
1:18:55
get the full effect of alphabet soup? It's too
1:19:07
bad my grandpa's dead. I could have asked him.
1:19:13
Where does your lap go when you stand up? You're
1:19:19
asking hard questions, Leo. Oh, here's a relevant
1:19:25
one. Why are boxing rings square? Because...
1:19:30
A squared circle. Because fuck you, they used
1:19:33
to be circles. I'll cut it with the shady jokes
1:19:40
now. That's it for this edition of Boxing Before
1:19:45
Dark. Get yourself some floor beers. Floor beers
1:19:49
are delicious.
