• 0:30
  Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Before. Before.
• 0:35
  Before. Before. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing
• 0:38
  Before Dark. Dark. This is Boxing Before Dark.
• 0:46
  Well, shall we do... Oh, yeah. The fucking...
• 0:52
  I... Totally forgot to make an outline, Leo.
• 0:55
  I'm sorry. No. You got the last one, so I got
• 0:58
  this one. Don't worry about it. Boxing before
• 1:05
  dark. What's your fucking weakness? Mine's making
• 1:09
  rice. Should not have making pancakes. Can't
• 1:14
  do it. I can't do it. Without my rice cooker,
• 1:16
  I can't do it. It is not possible for me. I've
• 1:19
  tried, and it doesn't work. I've never owned
• 1:24
  a rice cooker. Everyone here thinks it's madness.
• 1:27
  I mean, I have rice cooking in it all the time,
• 1:31
  even if it's just one cup. So if I'm ever hungry,
• 1:34
  I'll just have rice as a snack because it's a
• 1:36
  quick fill -up without being too caloric. I just
• 1:43
  eat white bread. Boxing Before Dark, 833 -589
• 1:50
  -7637. Can you make rice without a rice cooker?
• 1:53
  I want to know if I'm the only fucking moron
• 1:57
  out there that can't do it. So, the news. Ushik
• 2:04
  and Dubois are fighting again. This time, it's
• 2:07
  happening in London. Wait, it was in Poland last
• 2:10
  time, right? Yeah, that's right. I don't remember.
• 2:16
  I am excited for this rematch, though. Yeah.
• 2:20
  Was it a low blow? No. Sorry. Yes, it was a low
• 2:25
  blow. No, there was no controversy. Okay. Stirring
• 2:34
  the pot? I think so. Maybe I'm looking at the
• 2:39
  wrong angles. I didn't see it the right way.
• 2:42
  But if you look on the Instagram, I have a picture.
• 2:45
  And I tried to use filters to give it more contrast.
• 2:50
  And it looks like it's on the belt line. Yeah,
• 2:55
  okay. But it's, what, a year later? A year and
• 2:59
  a half? We're quite a ways on. People have been
• 3:02
  going frame by frame to find the one frame where
• 3:06
  it doesn't look low. And people are mad that
• 3:09
  the referee made a split decision saying it was
• 3:12
  low. Yeah, split second decision, of course.
• 3:15
  at real time yeah and people are still arguing
• 3:19
  even with literal frame by frame moments so i'm
• 3:23
  looking at the some whoever it is i found that
• 3:26
  from i don't remember uh but i guess they picked
• 3:30
  the frame that doesn't show it low i i don't
• 3:34
  know i don't really care all that much but that's
• 3:37
  that's the one frame that's stuck in my mind
• 3:39
  yeah i just It's ridiculous. It could have been
• 3:45
  just that it clipped the cup and it knocked it
• 3:49
  in such a way that it hit the essentials. Well,
• 3:55
  and even if it's on the belt line, the belt line's
• 3:58
  not always in either. Yeah, exactly. You're exactly
• 4:02
  right. Yeah, the trunks could be higher or whatever.
• 4:10
  Could do the grandpa style like Fury does. Fury
• 4:14
  coming into that last Usyk fight was doing every
• 4:18
  small thing he could. He had the beard to hide
• 4:21
  his chin line. He had his shorts up around his
• 4:25
  fucking tits. He was trying so hard to cheat
• 4:28
  without cheating. And still lost. It was great.
• 4:36
  This one's happening at Wembley. It was supposed
• 4:38
  to happen in the US along with Shakur Zapata
• 4:42
  and something else. I don't remember the third
• 4:47
  fight. Well, that's on the Berlanga card, right?
• 4:51
  Berlanga, yeah. But this was supposed to be a
• 4:55
  part of it. That's a good lead -in, unless you
• 5:00
  have more about this. No. go ahead so the rumors
• 5:03
  are that that uh berlanga card's going to be
• 5:08
  in central park now as opposed to what before
• 5:12
  times square what there was no there was no before
• 5:16
  the like so all the major venues are booked that
• 5:20
  weekend what weekend is it or what what what's
• 5:25
  the date is it july i can't remember It's not
• 5:30
  the Puerto Rico parade day, if that's what you're
• 5:33
  thinking. I was thinking July 4th, whatever weekend
• 5:36
  that is. No, I don't think so. It's the same
• 5:40
  weekend as Serrano. Taylor, which is MSG, if
• 5:46
  I'm not mistaken. Yeah, it's the day after. It
• 5:50
  is July 12th. All right. But MSG, according to
• 5:57
  people. doesn't do two things on the same weekend.
• 6:03
  It takes too long to take down and set back up.
• 6:06
  Now, I don't know if that would be the case with
• 6:09
  two boxing matches, but they're different promotions.
• 6:13
  So I can't see them working together. Yeah, that
• 6:17
  would have to be on the venue to kind of act
• 6:21
  as the answer. Change everything, probably. And
• 6:24
  not even just change it, but to just change the
• 6:27
  fucking drapes. that's all you really need like
• 6:30
  change the the advertised advertisement stuff
• 6:35
  yeah but then who pays for setup and who pays
• 6:40
  for takedown and etc etc i just the nobody seems
• 6:46
  to think that they'll do both in the same place
• 6:48
  lame and what's the other arena there was some
• 6:54
  sort of concert or something The hall? Yeah.
• 7:01
  The MSG theater or whatever? No, what's the other
• 7:06
  location that they sometimes do fights? They're
• 7:08
  not always at MSG. It's like the Berkeley Center?
• 7:13
  Barclays. Yeah. It's also booked. So people were
• 7:18
  like, where could they possibly do this? And
• 7:20
  the rumors are it's going to be in Central Park.
• 7:24
  How? man childish of course we're gonna put it
• 7:29
  in the fucking central park and everyone's gonna
• 7:32
  love it it it would actually be kind of cool
• 7:36
  i think i didn't know that they had a stage or
• 7:41
  kind of thing yeah i didn't either but since
• 7:45
  this was the rumor yeah they do have like a place
• 7:48
  where they do concerts and stuff so there's a
• 7:50
  stage and an area that they can exclude people
• 7:55
  from so there would probably actually be tickets
• 7:58
  sold i assume this time central park amphitheater
• 8:04
  uh let's look into it i'm gonna yeah i mean it
• 8:12
  it is a concert stage looking thing i think they
• 8:17
  would have to change some stuff but i could see
• 8:21
  setting up like seats and things around it oh
• 8:25
  shit yeah it's a real stage it's this is fucking
• 8:29
  the space is uh is pretty huge here let me i'm
• 8:36
  gonna send this to you directly on discord yeah
• 8:39
  like it seems like a much easier place to host
• 8:46
  a fight than fucking times square which is turning
• 8:48
  into a shit show yeah So I think that could be
• 8:55
  cool. Yeah, if you look at the photo I sent you,
• 8:59
  like, it's just, there's a giant space for people.
• 9:03
  Yeah, yeah. That looks like maybe two or three
• 9:08
  baseball fields big. Yeah. You could put the
• 9:13
  ring right in the middle and then just whatever.
• 9:16
  Set up seats and stuff. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know
• 9:19
  that. They'd probably walk off the stage for
• 9:22
  the walkouts, I assume. Oh, walk from the stage
• 9:26
  to the ring. To the ring in the center. You could
• 9:31
  have the big videos playing behind them and some
• 9:34
  fireworks and shit. I think this would be a cool...
• 9:38
  The entrance archway. Yeah. This actually could
• 9:42
  be pretty cool. This makes a lot more sense.
• 9:46
  The only problem is with any outdoor event, it's
• 9:50
  July. Is it going to rain? Is it going to be
• 9:53
  800 degrees? It'll be humid. Being in the park
• 9:58
  should help, though. There's been huge studies
• 10:01
  on how Central Park is 5 to 10 degrees colder
• 10:06
  than anywhere else in New York because of all
• 10:08
  the plants. Yeah, there's... I mean, that's a...
• 10:13
  I don't know if it's common knowledge, but it's
• 10:16
  a well -known thing that having parks nearby
• 10:19
  does decrease temperature considerably than places
• 10:23
  without. Yeah. And if they can do outdoors in
• 10:27
  California in July, I don't see why you couldn't
• 10:31
  do New York. It's different problems, but, you
• 10:35
  know. It was raining, I think, during Sergio
• 10:40
  Martinez versus... jcc jr and uh yeah martina
• 10:46
  slipped on the water yeah i mean any outdoor
• 10:50
  event's gonna be like that though i don't like
• 10:52
  boxing outside i mean i think it looks cool but
• 10:56
  you can't be prepared for all weather it's just
• 11:01
  not possible too much exposure to the elements
• 11:04
  and you can't yeah can't plan for everything
• 11:07
  well and if they do have to build like a big
• 11:10
  uh cover for it then you block people's view
• 11:14
  and all sorts of problems but that could be cool
• 11:20
  and then the other controversy with this card
• 11:24
  is berlanga shiraz is the main event even though
• 11:30
  or it's being billed as the main event even though
• 11:34
  uh stevenson versus the paid as a title fight
• 11:39
  I wouldn't say that's unusual or something. I
• 11:43
  don't know why that would be a controversy. Shakur
• 11:48
  is fucking... Boring as hell. Why would you want
• 11:52
  to build him at the top? I would not want to
• 11:55
  have him as my headliner. But generally, Shakur
• 12:00
  is the biggest name. Yes. Of everyone else who's
• 12:05
  on it, he is the bigger name for sure. He's the
• 12:08
  biggest name, and it's a title fight. So by general
• 12:13
  standards, he should be the main event. Has he
• 12:17
  tried not being boring as fuck? And then we wouldn't
• 12:20
  be having this problem. This is also my thought.
• 12:24
  But people are trying to make it all about Turkey
• 12:29
  playing favorites with his guy, with Shiraz.
• 12:35
  Which I'm sure that's part of it. But Shakur
• 12:39
  is boring as fuck. And nobody thinks that's going
• 12:44
  to be a good fight. Everybody thinks Shakur is
• 12:47
  just going to be negative and Zepeda is going
• 12:51
  to miss. Yes. It's going to be Casemiro -Rigo
• 12:59
  2. Tevin Farmer, as much as I dislike using the
• 13:05
  term, I think it is applicable here that Tevin
• 13:07
  Farmer did expose a lot of Zepeda's deficiencies.
• 13:11
  And Shakur Stevenson, whatever his other faults,
• 13:15
  he is a lot more technically sound than Tevin
• 13:18
  Farmer. So I don't see this being a good fight
• 13:21
  either. But Tevin Farmer is aggressive. True.
• 13:24
  True. Yes. Okay, so I also think this is probably
• 13:31
  wishful thinking. But my wish, and people are
• 13:35
  going to make fun of me, call in, do your thing,
• 13:37
  but Shakira's not going to be able to keep Zepeda
• 13:42
  off him. Hell no. At all. And he's going to try,
• 13:47
  because he's going to have to throw punches.
• 13:50
  And Zepeda's got that big old Mexican hand, and
• 13:54
  Shakira's going to break his hands. He's going
• 13:56
  to break a hand on Zepeda's hand and he's not
• 13:59
  going to be able to stop Zepeda. And Zepeda's
• 14:02
  going to catch him. It's going to happen. That
• 14:06
  last part might be completely wishful thinking.
• 14:10
  The hand breaking is not out of the realm of
• 14:13
  possibility. I would bet money on a hand injury.
• 14:17
  You could bet that just in general because both
• 14:20
  of them have had hand injuries. I don't think
• 14:23
  Zepeda is going to be able to hit Shakur clean
• 14:26
  enough to hurt his hands. But I think Shakur
• 14:31
  is going to have to throw too many punches and
• 14:34
  he's going to hurt himself. Whether that's going
• 14:38
  to be enough for Zepeda to actually win is probably
• 14:42
  no. But it's going to turn into... Casimiro,
• 14:47
  Regan Dow, I think. It's just going to be Zepeda
• 14:50
  chasing and missing and Shukur dancing away because
• 14:55
  he doesn't want to throw punches because his
• 14:57
  hands hurt. Damn. So I don't blame them for not
• 15:02
  putting that as the headline. And for all his
• 15:05
  other faults, Berlanga's exciting. Yeah, for
• 15:08
  all his other faults, he does come to rumble.
• 15:13
  And... He's Puerto Rican in New York. He's the
• 15:16
  only guy with a New York following. Plus, Turkey
• 15:21
  gets to put his favorite at the top of the bill
• 15:24
  then as well. And I'm sure there's a contingency
• 15:27
  of Muslim bros that they could rally around for
• 15:32
  Shiraz. Yeah. It's not like they have very many
• 15:37
  non -African American boxers to get behind. The
• 15:44
  Muslims in general. Not that I pay attention
• 15:50
  to people's religions, but I can't think of any
• 15:52
  other Muslims that aren't African American. I
• 15:57
  think the term is MENA, Middle East, North Africa.
• 16:02
  And that encompasses the entire Arab world. Okay.
• 16:08
  And it's secular. You know how good I am with...
• 16:11
  words i i yeah i get into the weeds with that
• 16:15
  kind of stuff just because i think like ethnonyms
• 16:18
  demonyms i think they're really interesting yeah
• 16:21
  sorry fucking nerd alert god so okay it'll bring
• 16:27
  out the the menas the mina people i was trying
• 16:33
  to get it like the minions New York, New Yoricans
• 16:38
  is the New York Puerto Ricans. New Yoricans.
• 16:40
  Is that what, really? Is that the thing? Or did
• 16:43
  you make that up? I've heard it before. I am
• 16:46
  not smart enough to make that up. It's just the
• 16:48
  portmanteau. Yeah. Yeah. I'm bad at those. Anyways,
• 16:52
  it was probably a pro boxing. Chris Algieri calls
• 16:58
  them New Yoricans. Mena Yorkers. Mean New Yorkers?
• 17:07
  New Yorkers? Yeah. Anyways, so they're probably
• 17:13
  going to hopefully get a new kind of demographic
• 17:18
  out to the fight. Yeah, hopefully. And the Mexicans
• 17:21
  are everywhere. It's a reality. The diaspora
• 17:26
  is fucking everywhere. Oh, shit. So we have Usyk
• 17:33
  Dubois. The Central Park, potentially Central
• 17:38
  Park card. I saw this thing. Anthony Joshua's
• 17:44
  looking at three fights tops before he retires.
• 17:49
  I mean, he's kind of there, right? Like, that's
• 17:53
  reasonable. Yeah. He's, I mean, Tyson Fury, of
• 17:57
  course, the biggest fight that they could make.
• 17:59
  But that's assuming Tyson Fury comes out of retirement
• 18:02
  again, which is very possible. I would say probable.
• 18:06
  Yeah. For AJ money. Fury will come out of retirement
• 18:09
  for AJ money. It's more likely than not that
• 18:13
  he comes out of retirement. Yeah. He wants a
• 18:16
  Dubois rematch, which makes sense. You'd want
• 18:21
  to get that one back. And another one. I don't
• 18:24
  know if he'll get that, though. I don't think
• 18:26
  so. I think that's less likely. Dubois has a
• 18:30
  lot on his plate right now with the IBF belt
• 18:33
  in his hands. Yeah. And they also mentioned a
• 18:39
  possibility of fighting Jake Paul. Why? I was
• 18:45
  thinking the same thing. Oh. Money, of course.
• 18:50
  Obviously. Did you see that Eddie Hearn slipped
• 18:56
  up and said Tank is fighting Jake Paul? I did
• 18:59
  hear that. I did hear that he let that slip.
• 19:04
  That's fun. That's really stupid. That's the
• 19:08
  dumbest fucking shit I've ever heard. It's the
• 19:11
  biggest circus fight I have ever heard. But if
• 19:15
  you want a spectacle... And Tank's not even going
• 19:16
  to be able to reach his head. Like, he's going
• 19:19
  to have to fucking jump. Just super bad punches.
• 19:23
  It'll be similar to Logan Paul versus Floyd Mayweather.
• 19:27
  Like, the size disparity is just really... was
• 19:30
  really pronounced. is tank as tall as floyd no
• 19:35
  hell no floyd may well yeah i was gonna say five
• 19:37
  seven five eight floyd's got like three or four
• 19:40
  inches on him doesn't he uh tank i think is like
• 19:43
  five two or five three yeah short as fuck he's
• 19:49
  shorter than i am i know that and it's if he
• 19:52
  makes 135 that's he must be just a fucking brick
• 19:56
  shithouse a meatball I got two fosters today.
• 20:02
  Oh, nice. Cats? Yeah. Do you ever foster dogs?
• 20:08
  I've only fostered two dogs before. Nice. Frozen
• 20:12
  shit like all cats do? No, they're tiny. They're
• 20:17
  little, tiny little babies. Like they just came
• 20:20
  out, came off of bottle feeding. Oh, crazy. Yeah.
• 20:25
  Um, right. So AJ and his three fights. Don't
• 20:29
  pick Jake Paul. Jake Paul, don't fight Trevante
• 20:33
  Davis. Please. Ridiculous. Please. Yeah, I guess.
• 20:40
  Who else would you have AJ fight? Like, Wilder,
• 20:44
  I guess. That never happened. That never happened,
• 20:47
  and I think it still should. I don't know, man.
• 20:52
  Wilder's looked so cooked. I don't think I even
• 20:55
  want to see it anymore. Gerald Miller? I said
• 21:02
  that unironically. No. No. Let's see here. Could
• 21:12
  do Parker again. Lawrence of Coley. If you want
• 21:18
  to do an all British thing. I mean, if you want
• 21:22
  to do a passing of the torch type thing. Who's
• 21:26
  the youngest guy you would have fight AJ for
• 21:29
  his last fight? If everybody looks good in the
• 21:34
  next two years or whatever. If all things going
• 21:38
  well or according to plan, it's hard to say because
• 21:44
  Gerald Miller and I was going to say Fabio Wardley,
• 21:47
  but we're recording this on Friday. It's going
• 21:51
  to be coming out after their... they fight on
• 21:54
  the card so we don't know who won yet uh at least
• 21:59
  as of this recording we don't know so i'll say
• 22:02
  fabio wardley uh that's a good like youngster
• 22:07
  that you want to get some shine on um is he young
• 22:11
  for some reason i thought wardley was he's 30
• 22:14
  not so i don't know how young that is that's
• 22:20
  not old but Passing of the British torch, I guess.
• 22:28
  Dubois is 27. And I think he took the torch.
• 22:35
  He took that torch. He took the torch. Agit Kabayel
• 22:40
  is not a terrible guy to... Well, if you just
• 22:43
  want to go off on a win, then probably not. But
• 22:48
  I also rate Kabayel really highly. Martin Bacoli?
• 22:58
  That doesn't excite me. AJ deserves an exciting
• 23:03
  fight for his last one. Something exciting. Tyson
• 23:09
  Fury, Deontay Wilder. I think those need to happen.
• 23:13
  Those are really the only two. Yeah. If it's
• 23:17
  possible to get the Dubois rematch, do that.
• 23:20
  Do that as your last one so that you could get
• 23:23
  the win back as you head out the door. Or not.
• 23:29
  Because I think it's likely not, to be honest.
• 23:33
  What, he loses again? I think so. I would agree.
• 23:38
  Dubois found himself. I rate Dubois. I actually
• 23:44
  think he has a good chance against Usyk this
• 23:47
  time. It'll be better. A much better performance.
• 23:50
  He was doing pretty well the first time. Yeah,
• 23:53
  which is why better is... concerning for Usyk.
• 23:57
  And he's, Usyk's like almost 40. Goodness. Is
• 24:02
  he? He's 38. Damn, he's older than us. Yeah.
• 24:07
  That's crazy. Speaking of Dubois, Derek Chisora's
• 24:16
  been made an IPF mandatory. Yeah, we talked about
• 24:21
  this a while back. How? Why? Like, are you guys
• 24:25
  just trying to kill him? Yeah. What the fuck,
• 24:27
  guys? Where I found the article, it's just kind
• 24:34
  of rehashing it, but they pull up like five to
• 24:38
  ten different social media responses to it, and
• 24:41
  all of them are like, what the fuck even is this?
• 24:43
  Why are you doing this to Derek Chisora? His
• 24:48
  brain is... do at this point, but you put him
• 24:52
  in against Dubois, and it's gonna be soup. He'll
• 24:56
  take the fight. Of course he will. He's fucking
• 25:00
  Derek Chisora. He's never gonna say no. That's
• 25:05
  why somebody, like in this case, the IBF, somebody
• 25:09
  needs to step in on his behalf, even though he's
• 25:13
  not gonna like it. You need to have the hard
• 25:17
  conversation. Like, dude, you're not going to
• 25:19
  win a title again. Dubois will whoop your ass.
• 25:22
  Pretty much any... Usyk would whoop your ass.
• 25:27
  Like, he beat you the first time and it was kind
• 25:29
  of stinky, but he will beat your ass the second
• 25:32
  time. Usyk has gotten used to the weight. Yeah.
• 25:36
  Like... I mean, I like Chizora. I do too. But
• 25:42
  he needs to stop. Yes. And everybody's like,
• 25:46
  oh, bro's got bills to pay. Man, if you pissed
• 25:49
  away all of the money you've made, because I'm
• 25:52
  not saying that he made the most money ever,
• 25:56
  but he's made a lot of money boxing. And he deserved
• 25:59
  it. But if he's pissed it all away, another paycheck
• 26:03
  isn't going to help. Yeah, that's financial literacy
• 26:06
  kind of thing. Yeah, that is not. You're not
• 26:13
  helping him by getting him one more big paycheck.
• 26:16
  If that is your worry. Because it will also get
• 26:20
  pissed away. Trying to think who you could do
• 26:23
  for Derek Chisora. He's at 36 and 13. So that's
• 26:28
  49 fights. He wants to do 50. I'm looking at
• 26:33
  the top. The winner of Fisher Allen. Oh, shit.
• 26:40
  That's good. but that's good derrick will probably
• 26:45
  win let him go out on a win his 50 fights and
• 26:49
  fucking get out if it's fisher that wins and
• 26:53
  it probably will be maybe question mark that
• 26:58
  one i really don't know but if it is fisher that
• 27:00
  wins he comes with a built -in fan base chizora
• 27:04
  comes with a built -in exactly that's exactly
• 27:06
  what i was gonna say is he has one too As mid
• 27:10
  as both of those fighters are, that would be
• 27:13
  a big card. People would buy tickets. Derek Chisora,
• 27:19
  dude. It's time, man. Yeah, man. It's not even
• 27:26
  like calling him Unk because he's not that much
• 27:28
  older than we are. But he is. Yeah, you got the
• 27:34
  mileage. man yeah it's it's time to start thinking
• 27:37
  about your life after this because like you're
• 27:40
  you're 41 now with all of the damage you've taken
• 27:44
  you're probably looking at a solid like 15 to
• 27:47
  20 years maybe that's it yeah of good quality
• 27:52
  life so it's time to start thinking about other
• 27:56
  stuff man your priorities have to change Chizora
• 28:02
  makes me kind of sad. He makes me sad. He is
• 28:05
  the only person I am sad when he wins. It's bittersweet.
• 28:12
  He's the only person I like that I'm sad when
• 28:15
  he wins. Yeah. That's a good way to put it. I
• 28:19
  don't want him to keep going. I want him to stop.
• 28:24
  I want him to go have a nice life. Yeah, man.
• 28:27
  Eat some fucking burgers and... What's the disgusting
• 28:31
  fast food takeout? Five Guys or something? He
• 28:35
  likes Five Guys. No, but that's American. I was
• 28:39
  trying to make a British joke. Nando's? Yeah.
• 28:44
  Takeaways from Nando's? Yeah, yeah. Well, they
• 28:46
  call it a Chinese. Oh, yeah. Maybe I'm thinking
• 28:49
  Irish. A curry? A spice bag. Spice bag is what
• 28:53
  I'm thinking, but that might be Irish. That's
• 28:55
  Irish. Yeah. Just this guy on Instagram I follow
• 28:59
  who's hella Irish. And he broke down the slang
• 29:03
  one time. Is he the follow me, I'm delicious
• 29:08
  guy? That's exactly who it is. Garan. I fucking
• 29:12
  love him. Follow me, I'm delicious. I need a
• 29:17
  catchphrase like that. But that's... That actually,
• 29:23
  when I worked as a chef, as a private chef, I
• 29:27
  did live deliciously. Nice. That seems like it
• 29:33
  was probably taken. It is. I got it from Olivia.
• 29:39
  WBA, up to their usual shenanigans. So they were
• 29:43
  supposedly, well, they had been, actually. They
• 29:47
  were on a good streak of cutting back. the regular
• 29:51
  titles and the super titles. And now they've
• 29:55
  decided to make Jaron Ennis the super champ.
• 29:58
  And now Ryan versus Romero is going to be for
• 30:03
  the regular title, the WBA welterweight. They
• 30:08
  just want a title on that card? I assume that's
• 30:12
  what it is. That's bullshit. I hate when they
• 30:17
  do this stuff. Yeah. You could make it a commemorative
• 30:21
  belt like the WBC does all the time. Well, so
• 30:26
  that one has enough names that casuals will recognize
• 30:29
  that it's all just marketing. Like, if you throw
• 30:34
  title match on the poster and the ads, casuals
• 30:41
  that follow Ryan Garcia don't know what a fucking
• 30:47
  title is or what that means. Like, they don't
• 30:50
  care. Between regular and super title? They probably,
• 30:55
  honest to God, half the Garcia fans probably
• 30:58
  don't know that there's more than one belt. Four
• 31:01
  elite belts. Several secondary belts. And 8 ,000
• 31:05
  other ones. Yeah, 8 ,000 regional titles. Yeah.
• 31:10
  And each one of those, every single one of those
• 31:13
  belts can be doubled by just adding interim.
• 31:17
  Yeah. So they just want it for the posters. Yeah.
• 31:24
  And it's Ryan, so it's a big sanctioning fee.
• 31:27
  Yeah. Speaking of that card, I have placed my
• 31:33
  bets on Ramirez and... Barbossa? Rowley. I didn't
• 31:39
  place a bet on Barbossa. I don't know. Tio might
• 31:44
  pull it out. I can't tell. He probably will.
• 31:47
  Did notice that he actually wore a shirt this
• 31:49
  last time he was on. The first two press conferences,
• 31:53
  he didn't wear a shirt. I don't know if anyone
• 31:55
  else noticed, but he had on like a vest and he
• 31:58
  had on like a jacket, but there was no shirt
• 32:00
  underneath him. Who does that? Last thing. We're
• 32:13
  coming up on time, and we've got a few things
• 32:16
  to get to that are more important than all of
• 32:20
  these TMZ headlines. Fair enough. One quick one.
• 32:26
  There was a drama one that Shakur Stevenson has
• 32:29
  left Matchroom or whatever. It's not true. He
• 32:33
  had a two -fight deal with Matchroom. He's only
• 32:36
  had one fight so far, and that was against Padley.
• 32:40
  Yeah. So the Zepeda one is with Matchroom. That's
• 32:45
  how it is. And Ludabella? He might have him as
• 32:49
  a manager. Yeah. He is a New York guy. It makes
• 32:53
  sense to get a New York person. Yeah, to handle
• 32:56
  your image while you're going to be competing
• 32:58
  there. Yeah. Mike Tyson's trainer regrets telling
• 33:05
  fans to bet against Jake Paul. Okay. And Spence
• 33:12
  is not... He didn't say outright that he's retiring,
• 33:16
  but he's going to be looking at promoting. Because
• 33:19
  when Frank Martin fought Gervonta Davis, he helped
• 33:24
  promote that event. And he really liked being
• 33:27
  on that side of it. His words. On God, Spence
• 33:33
  is physically damaged beyond repair. Like, Spence
• 33:38
  is fucked. I put that on Alex's life. On Alex's
• 33:42
  life, Spence is damaged goods. I know nobody
• 33:50
  believes me, but that first car crash fucked
• 33:53
  over. The second car crash made it worse. A damaged
• 33:57
  Spence is still a really good boxer, but he's
• 34:01
  damaged real bad. Right. He's definitely not
• 34:04
  the same. And to think he is. A serious car crash
• 34:10
  is going to change you. It doesn't matter who
• 34:12
  you are. That's flipping over and over, getting
• 34:16
  thrown from the fucking vehicle. Retina surgery,
• 34:22
  the second car crash did not help anything. Yeah,
• 34:26
  the dude should be promoting. He likes it. He
• 34:31
  said he felt like he was doing a good job at
• 34:33
  it. I think he was all right promoting Frank
• 34:36
  Martin. So, yeah, he wants to start passing on
• 34:40
  his knowledge to the new guys on the block. So
• 34:44
  that's cool. I think it's a good move. Yeah.
• 34:47
  I'm happy. I'd like to see him take the spotlight
• 34:50
  a little bit more. Yeah. And start mixing it
• 34:54
  up with all the other promoters. Support for

• 38:09
  What a weekend. We've talked, I think we already
• 38:12
  talked quite a bit about Raleigh, Ryan. Teofimo
• 38:17
  versus Barbosa and Devin Haney versus Ramirez.
• 38:20
  You've already placed your bets. Small ones.
• 38:24
  Huh? Small ones. Coffees, right? Yeah, yeah.
• 38:28
  So $250 each. And I think the payout is like
• 38:32
  $10. Oh, no, it'd be more than that. It's 6 -1
• 38:35
  and 7 -something -to -1. Is Raleigh the 7 -to
• 38:40
  -1? Yes. I fucking hate Garcia, and I don't think
• 38:45
  he's that good. He'll probably pull out another
• 38:49
  bullshit win. He's a one -hitter. Like, he's
• 38:52
  a one -trick pony. Otherwise, he's pretty ass.
• 38:57
  Weird fucking turning his kidneys as a defense.
• 39:01
  Like, what the fuck is that? Here's my liver.
• 39:04
  Go right ahead. I know Roley doesn't have much
• 39:10
  power, but I really want him to just... fucking
• 39:13
  drop them with a body shot i can't help but think
• 39:19
  of those uh if so and so had an alberta accent
• 39:23
  videos that i keep saying you've been loving
• 39:25
  those those are so fucking funny they're so funny
• 39:30
  uh but like as i can if ryan garcia had an alberta
• 39:35
  accent that's what's coming to mind right now
• 39:42
  I'm here, buddy. You fucking what, buddy? You
• 39:47
  fucking what? I can't do that weird Alberta accent
• 39:51
  because to me it just sounds native and it feels
• 39:54
  super racist. Oh, shit. Yeah. It's not anymore,
• 39:59
  but to me that's what it is. But it's Letter
• 40:04
  Kenny. Letter Kenny fucked over Alberta. And
• 40:10
  that Northern Ontario accent was always really
• 40:12
  native -sounding to me. One other fight on this
• 40:17
  card. LaVale, I think it is. LaVale Whittington
• 40:21
  versus Reito Tsutsumi. No relation, I think.
• 40:28
  Yeah. Tsutsumi seems to be a much more... common
• 40:35
  name than I thought. That's what I was just about
• 40:37
  to say. It doesn't seem like it's as rare as
• 40:41
  I thought it was originally. I think this Tsutsumi
• 40:46
  cat is supposed to be... Is he the one from ProBucks?
• 40:51
  No. No. No, this is his debut. I don't know.
• 41:01
  He's supposed to be like an amateur standout
• 41:03
  if it's... Who I'm thinking of. It's either him
• 41:07
  or somebody on the Inouye card. But enough of
• 41:14
  that one. Moving on to motherfucking Dinero vs.
• 41:19
  Skull. Is that this weekend too? Oh yeah, it's
• 41:23
  Cinco de Mayo, isn't it? It's the 5 -2. That
• 41:27
  weekend. Yeah, the Friday is the Times Square
• 41:31
  card. Saturday is Alvarez versus Skull and then
• 41:36
  Sunday is Inouye versus Cardenas. Nice. I apparently
• 41:43
  was not excited for Canelo at all because I forgot
• 41:46
  it was happening. Yeah, it's like really who
• 41:50
  gives a shit? This is like Usyk and Dubois too.
• 41:55
  It's just like the person who is the rightful
• 41:58
  owner of the belt has to fight the one that...
• 42:01
  it was given to after they were stripped with
• 42:05
  the IBF. So it's whatever. Alvarez is the undisputed
• 42:11
  champ. William Skull is just some fucking guy
• 42:13
  that Turkey wants him to face just to get the
• 42:18
  belt back as a formality. Have we seen Skull
• 42:22
  fight? Okay. I do not recognize his face at all.
• 42:28
  Or... Any of these names on BoxRec. Who did I
• 42:33
  see him fight? Shishkin, I think. Yeah, when
• 42:40
  he got... That was his last fight. Yep. He wears
• 42:46
  glasses as a fashion accessory. Because those
• 42:50
  things look way too ridiculous to be... Real?
• 42:55
  Yeah, to be prescription. Whatever works for
• 43:00
  you, dog. I mean, that's fine. Yeah. Whatever
• 43:04
  works. Spence wears glasses for fashion. My disability
• 43:07
  is not your fashion. My culture is not your costume.
• 43:13
  Yeah. I don't know if glasses are culture, but...
• 43:16
  Fucking blind -ass people. I am actually legally
• 43:22
  blind if I can't wear glasses. It's crazy. I'm
• 43:27
  not. I just... Have a little difficulty reading.
• 43:32
  Oh, no. I'm minus 8 .5 in one eye and minus 9
• 43:37
  .25 in the other. Fucking auntie is blind. Super
• 43:44
  blind. I broke my glasses once. I didn't break
• 43:48
  them. The screw fell out driving home. And I
• 43:51
  live 30 kilometers from town. And I just had
• 43:54
  to pull over on the side of the road. And this
• 43:56
  was before I had a cell phone. i'm that old my
• 43:59
  family had a cell phone but i didn't i just had
• 44:02
  to pull over and wait for somebody to drive by
• 44:04
  it took an hour and a half holy and i was like
• 44:08
  because i was on the highway it's not a busy
• 44:11
  highway but i was like holy like i could kill
• 44:14
  somebody even with one lens i just couldn't do
• 44:17
  it i tried it was bad yeah i wouldn't i wouldn't
• 44:24
  take that take that chance either gravel roads
• 44:27
  where i could drive like 10 and kind of feel
• 44:30
  the ditch i would have but you know where we
• 44:35
  saw william skull is when he fought uh when it
• 44:40
  was alvarez first munguia he was on that undercard
• 44:45
  and then uh shishkin afterwards for the i think
• 44:53
  shishkin was elevated i don't think it was a
• 44:59
  vacant fight but yeah that's where we saw uh
• 45:07
  badu jack is still fighting why don't know if
• 45:19
  we did see skull there he was so far down i don't
• 45:22
  think he was on the broadcast yeah um badu jack
• 45:29
  has a title doesn't he he has the i think the
• 45:33
  full wbc cruiserweight belt and mccallion no
• 45:40
  mccallion has a full title badu jack has the
• 45:44
  interim He's Swedish? He lives in... He's adopted.
• 45:55
  That says his birthplace is Stockholm, Sweden
• 45:58
  on Botrek. Yeah, that's where his adopted family
• 46:02
  is. I think he was adopted as a baby. Crazy.
• 46:06
  So they just put it as Sweden. Why have I not
• 46:10
  been cheering for Badu Jack then? What, did you
• 46:13
  think he was American? I did. This Swedish erasure
• 46:18
  will not be tolerated. Who's the guy on The Simpsons?
• 46:24
  He's from Iceland. Carl? Carl Carlson is from
• 46:30
  Iceland. Oh, right. Jaime Munguia versus Bruno
• 46:35
  Saras. It's happening again. Nice. I'm interested
• 46:43
  to see how this plays out. I'm hopeful for Munguia.
• 46:46
  I mean, I like Munguia. I want him to win. And
• 46:50
  I don't particularly have any love for the French.
• 46:53
  But can you imagine if Saras does it again? Can
• 46:57
  you imagine? I would lose my mind, to say the
• 47:02
  least. I cannot imagine. Like, that would be
• 47:08
  fucking madness. Martin Bacoli versus Efe Ajogba.
• 47:15
  I think this was always going to happen despite
• 47:18
  the... This was already scheduled. Despite the...
• 47:23
  And the Parker loss was just... Whatever. How
• 47:29
  heavy do you think Bacoli will be? 270 to 280.
• 47:36
  Because what did he come in last time? 330? Yeah,
• 47:39
  it was like 325, I think. Or 330, you're right.
• 47:46
  I want to check now, just to be sure. Yeah, I
• 47:52
  jumped on BoxRec, but they don't put the weights.
• 47:57
  Do they put the weight? They put the opponent's
• 48:00
  weight, I think. So I have to go to Joseph Parker.
• 48:04
  Yeah, he was 310. I'm interested to see how much
• 48:12
  lower he is this time. That could be a really
• 48:16
  good fight, though. Focolia -Jagva? That might
• 48:19
  be exciting. I think that's going to be one of
• 48:21
  those don't blink because it's going to be really
• 48:26
  tense and really cagey. I don't think it's going
• 48:30
  to be fireworks. No? No. They're both going to
• 48:34
  be leery of each other's power and they're not
• 48:38
  going to want to get into exchanges too much.
• 48:41
  Which is the whole problem with heavyweight.
• 48:43
  Yeah, it's just who lands first. Boring. I think
• 48:50
  a jogba might pull it off. You think so? He's
• 48:53
  younger. How much younger is he? Because Bakoli
• 49:00
  is 33. Why do you not have your age on here?
• 49:09
  It's a secret. Yeah, no shit. That is weird.
• 49:18
  Maybe he doesn't know. He is listed as inactive.
• 49:24
  Wikipedia should have it. 31. 31. Okay, so he's
• 49:28
  not that much younger. Never mind. I'm just thinking
• 49:31
  because he has that 1 -2 pretty dialed in. People
• 49:36
  were calling him the next Deontay Wilder because
• 49:38
  of it. Yeah, they're the same height, so nobody
• 49:42
  really has a height reach advantage. Wait a second,
• 49:48
  let me check. Oh, and then Bacoli doesn't have
• 49:51
  his reach on Boxrec. God damn it, guys. What
• 49:55
  is Martin Bacoli's reach? Martin Bacoli's reach
• 50:02
  is generally listed as 77 inches. 77, that's
• 50:07
  it? However, some sources state it's 82. A job
• 50:14
  is listed as 85 on BoxRec. So that long reach
• 50:19
  might make a difference. Yeah. Thanks, Google
• 50:28
  Gemini. That's where I got those ass fucking
• 50:33
  pound -for -pound lists. They weren't that ass,
• 50:37
  but... They weren't great. They weren't great.
• 50:40
  No. No. That's it for this card. This is a much
• 50:45
  better card than I thought it was. It is really
• 50:48
  good, even if the main event is a fucking joke.
• 50:51
  There's three other really good fights on here.
• 50:54
  Munguia Saras, a lot of drama there. Bacolia
• 50:57
  Jogba. Take it for what it is, but enjoy it.
• 51:05
  I don't know who this other guy is, but body
• 51:08
  Jack always comes to swing. Like he's exciting.
• 51:13
  It's good. It's good to see the, this is the
• 51:16
  WBC cruiserweight title. So this is the one that's
• 51:19
  been kind of off to the side just because we
• 51:24
  had nothing on McKaylee and he was having like
• 51:26
  promotional disputes and body Jack was the interim.
• 51:31
  We have Opitaya and Zerdo. So it's, finally we're
• 51:37
  gonna see what this belt is about like what the
• 51:39
  title holder is about and see if they have anything
• 51:42
  to offer to the arc two uh premier cruiserweights
• 51:48
  i haven't noticed how many promotional bodies
• 51:53
  are on this either like there's top rank matchroom
• 51:59
  three lions who the fuck is three lions I don't
• 52:04
  know. Sounds like a native guy. Daniel Otter.
• 52:09
  I assume it's similar to the... What's the Canadian
• 52:13
  one? Eye of the Tiger? Yeah. I was going to say
• 52:17
  Lion for some reason. And Queensberry. And Boxer.
• 52:22
  Fucking everybody's in on this card. I wonder
• 52:26
  who their fighters are. Oh, Daniel Otter is the
• 52:31
  Three Lions Promotions guy. Okay. So. And Canelo
• 52:38
  Promotions is also on this too. Sorry, I said
• 52:43
  something I'd already said. Daniel Otter is Canadian.
• 52:47
  He is one of the Canadian ones, like Eye of the
• 52:49
  Tiger. It'll be one of those. Lower level. Yeah.
• 52:56
  Lower down the hill. I'll be nice. I was going
• 53:00
  to say. It'll be one of those biker gang promotions.
• 53:06
  Oh, shit. It's pretty much all Canada has. Biker
• 53:11
  gang promotions? Well, they're all from Quebec,
• 53:14
  and Quebec's run by... Anyways, I'll stop being
• 53:18
  terrible. Shitting on the canoodles, French canoodles?
• 53:22
  Well, Quebec and Ontario, but Quebec's the worst.
• 53:26
  Like, they have infrastructure problems because
• 53:29
  the mob. the french mob over there does the shady
• 53:34
  oh yeah my cousin can build that and then they
• 53:36
  take a bunch of the money and then a bridge collapses
• 53:38
  every 10 years that's not not great no no they
• 53:43
  had been doing better lately but i'm sure the
• 53:46
  boxing hasn't cleaned up yet anyways this re
• 53:50
  -op season one has literally everybody promoting
• 53:53
  on it you know who doesn't have everyone promoting
• 53:59
  on it Because it's only top rank. The Vegas card?
• 54:03
  The Vegas card on the 4th. Naoya Inoue versus
• 54:07
  who gives a shit. I'm sorry. Pro box guy Ramon
• 54:13
  Cardenas. I'm sure you're going to give us a
• 54:16
  fucking hell of a show, man. I'm sure he will
• 54:20
  do his best. Yeah. I will give him 10 -10 rounds
• 54:24
  every time because he's trying his hardest. Do
• 54:28
  you have a full card for this? Yeah. Because
• 54:32
  BoxRec does not. BoxRec's only got two fights
• 54:36
  listed. Yeah, it's in the doc. Did I click on
• 54:42
  the wrong thing? It looked like the doc wasn't
• 54:44
  updated. Maybe. I bet you I clicked on B -side.
• 54:49
  There we go. I had the wrong document open. I
• 54:52
  thought you just didn't have time to update it.
• 54:54
  No. I had it filled out. Yeah, sorry. My bad.
• 55:00
  Yep, there's two fights on the card that still
• 55:05
  don't have opponents. That's not good. They're
• 55:10
  down the bill. Still not good. It's a week away.
• 55:14
  True. Versus the legendary TBA. It's supposed
• 55:22
  to be a 10 -round featherweight fight, so we'll
• 55:24
  see. Art? Barrera Jr. vs. Juan Carlos Guerra.
• 55:30
  Gotta really roll that R on Guerra. Six rounds
• 55:36
  at 154. Mikito Nakano. This is the guy I was
• 55:43
  wondering if he was the Japanese prospect that's
• 55:47
  debuting this weekend, but at a 10 -round featherweight,
• 55:51
  I don't think he's debuting. He might be. Who
• 55:55
  knows? He might be one of those older ones. Could
• 55:59
  be. Give me two seconds. Sure. He is 29 and has
• 56:06
  had 12 fights, 11 wins by KO. Is he 12 -0 or...?
• 56:11
  Yeah. Cool. If this is the right guy, because
• 56:17
  they're not listed on BoxRec on this card. On
• 56:21
  the fight, no. They're not. I've looked into
• 56:26
  ways. You have to be an approved editor to be
• 56:31
  able to add fights. I'm assuming the top guy
• 56:36
  that came up is the right guy. Probably. The
• 56:40
  other fight that does not have an opponent yet,
• 56:46
  Emiliano Vargas. Eight rounds at 140. It's not
• 56:53
  going to be a good opponent. not with a week's
• 56:57
  notice not with a week's notice and you're like
• 57:00
  you're gonna put them on this platform so you're
• 57:04
  you're asking somebody go get go get embarrassed
• 57:07
  for eight rounds in front of in front of hundreds
• 57:13
  of like hundreds tens of thousands of people
• 57:16
  yeah in vegas yeah on international tv that you
• 57:22
  know millions of people are going to watch yeah
• 57:24
  like the entire country of japan is going to
• 57:26
  watch this happen to you yeah perfect that sounds
• 57:31
  like a great time sitting there like looking
• 57:34
  at me uh rohan polanco this is the welterweight
• 57:39
  guy that he's been finishing his fights pretty
• 57:42
  quickly impressive power really explosive uh
• 57:47
  dynamic athleticism look pretty good and he's
• 57:52
  fighting fabian maidana of the famous boxing
• 57:57
  Maidanas, the fighting Maidana brothers. Nice.
• 58:01
  So that's cool. Moving in, co -main, Rafael Espinoza
• 58:07
  versus Edward Vasquez, WBO featherweight title
• 58:11
  on the line here. I don't know. Espinoza should
• 58:14
  win, right? Just based on the box rank, box rec
• 58:18
  ranks, Espinoza at three, and Edward, At 70.
• 58:26
  Not expecting a whole lot. I'm going to guess.
• 58:30
  Let me check. I'm going to guess that this is
• 58:33
  a. This guy lost to Corvina. Good one. And he
• 58:40
  lost to Ford. Those are his two losses. He's
• 58:44
  number 10 in the WBO. This has to be a voluntary
• 58:49
  defense. I think that what they're wanting to
• 58:51
  do is give him a showcase, give Espinoza a showcase.
• 58:54
  Because there's going to be a lot of people watching.
• 58:57
  And I think they're trying to spin up the conversation
• 59:01
  of, ooh, shit, should Noya move up? And if he
• 59:06
  does, who's he going to fight? Well, look at
• 59:08
  how awesome Espinoza just looked. Yeah, I don't
• 59:12
  think Noya should fight Espinoza for his first
• 59:16
  fight up. That's stupid. For a first fight at
• 59:19
  126, that's a really bad idea. That's stupid.
• 59:25
  Yeah, I got my seat booked at the old man bar.
• 59:29
  They've been going crazy this week. What are
• 59:33
  they doing for all the other cards? Like the
• 59:40
  Canelo card? Yeah. They'll probably... He'll
• 59:44
  show them. But they're on in the morning, so
• 59:48
  I don't want to wake up early and ride a train
• 59:51
  to Tokyo. And I also don't think Canelo beating
• 59:55
  the shit out of Skull is worth spending the night
• 59:58
  in Tokyo. There's a lot of other good stuff on
• 1:00:00
  it, though. Yeah, but I can watch it at home.
• 1:00:03
  True. It's my only. It's the train rides and
• 1:00:08
  or spending the night that ruin it for me. well
• 1:00:12
  speaking of ruin naoya in a way undisputed super
• 1:00:16
  bantamweight champion is going to fucking ruin
• 1:00:18
  cardenas i'm sorry uh i don't make the rules
• 1:00:25
  it's just gonna happen it's just how it is man
• 1:00:29
  um i really you know it does look really shitty
• 1:00:33
  though yeah did you see the picture yeah he looks
• 1:00:36
  like a fucking alien the way he's trying to cut
• 1:00:39
  himself down Is it a weight cut thing, do you
• 1:00:42
  think? He doesn't usually look this bad. I think
• 1:00:45
  it's a weight cut thing. He's probably ready
• 1:00:48
  to move up. Part of it is he's had his hair under
• 1:00:52
  his hat. His cheeks have been really sunken.
• 1:00:58
  Yeah, you don't usually see that much of his
• 1:01:02
  face, though, because his hair. But I think he
• 1:01:07
  looks like shit. Yeah, he does. I think he looks
• 1:01:09
  like shit. And he's wearing light colors, which
• 1:01:11
  make him look worse. He always wears light colors,
• 1:01:14
  but it makes him look worse. I'm going to have
• 1:01:17
  to check. I'm going to have to watch the weigh
• 1:01:19
  -in. Which was today. No, it'll be Saturday.
• 1:01:26
  So it's tomorrow for us. So we'll see how he
• 1:01:30
  looks. It should be next weekend. That's what
• 1:01:35
  I meant. Saturday. Next Saturday. Not next week
• 1:01:40
  from tomorrow. I wonder if it was just him coming
• 1:01:45
  off the plane and stuff is part of why he looks
• 1:01:48
  so shit. That's a long plane ride. Oh, hell yeah.
• 1:01:51
  I know Inouye's not doing it the way I do it,
• 1:01:54
  but that's a long -ass plane ride. No, it's considered
• 1:01:59
  the longest flight. that you can take is LAX
• 1:02:04
  to Tokyo. Makes sense. That's the longest flight
• 1:02:09
  on Earth. I wonder if that's part of why he just
• 1:02:15
  looked like shit. Some people don't fly very
• 1:02:18
  well. And as far as I know, Inoue doesn't fly
• 1:02:21
  a whole bunch at all. No, because he's been fighting
• 1:02:24
  in Japan most of his life. Yeah. He's got a whole
• 1:02:29
  week. He's got a whole week to not look like
• 1:02:32
  shit. Still, the weight cut could be going bad.
• 1:02:37
  But yeah, we'll see next Saturday how they're
• 1:02:42
  doing. I think even in a way looking like shit
• 1:02:47
  beats Cardenas. Sorry, Cardenas. Is Monday a
• 1:02:52
  holiday next week? It is, yeah. So that's golden
• 1:02:57
  week. i forget which holiday there's three holidays
• 1:03:01
  in a row um so if you take that week off of work
• 1:03:08
  you only use two vacation days so like half of
• 1:03:12
  japan goes on vacation that week i see yeah and
• 1:03:16
  so one day is green day where you're supposed
• 1:03:19
  to go outside and see plants and the another
• 1:03:23
  day is sports day and i think Maybe the Emperor's
• 1:03:28
  birthday is in there, the Showa day. But that
• 1:03:33
  might be Tuesday this week. The 29th is a holiday
• 1:03:38
  here. So the 29th of April and then the 5th,
• 1:03:44
  6th, 7th, I think, of May are all holidays. Well,
• 1:03:52
  that's it. That's all we had on the docket. Let

  is being released. We're heading into The Weeknd.
• 1:05:25
  Thrinco de Mayo is what I've been calling it.
• 1:05:30
  Excellent. Because there's three fucking wild
• 1:05:34
  cards that are coming up. Parting words. Parting
• 1:05:39
  words. Pace yourself. Ah, that's a good one.
• 1:05:44
  You don't want to drink too much tequila on Canelo
• 1:05:47
  night that you miss in a way. Yeah. And that
• 1:05:53
  one is in the middle of the day. That's not going
• 1:05:57
  to stop anybody. No, but it goes with the pace
• 1:06:00
  yourself part because if you've got other shit
• 1:06:03
  that you've got to do the rest of the day, it's
• 1:06:04
  okay to be maybe a little buzzed as you're mowing
• 1:06:07
  your lawn or whatever. Be careful. Drink responsibly.
• 1:06:14
  Make sure you hydrate. Yeah, smoke a joint instead
• 1:06:18
  maybe. Try that. See if that works for you. Or
• 1:06:23
  go foster a kitten. That's fun. That's my parting
• 1:06:26
  words. Help a local animal shelter. They need
• 1:06:30
  it. I promise you they need the help. All right.
• 1:06:36
  That's it for Boxing Before Dark. Does that mean
• 1:06:40
  the sun's going down if the episode's ending?
• 1:06:43
  We need like a sundown. What's the sound effect
• 1:06:46
  in the old western?
