The B -Side in boxing. B -Side shit. B -Side.
0:04
B -Side. And the B -Side. You got a B -Side.
0:06
The B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. That
0:10
B -Side thing. This is the B -Sides Boxing Podcast.
0:20
Ready to rock. Yes. Roll. Alright. Rock and roll,
0:28
motherfucker. Rock and roll, motherfucker. Rock
0:31
and roll. Boxing B -sides. We're rocking and
0:36
fucking rolling here. That's what we're doing.
0:39
That energy is just fantastic. Boxing B -sides
0:44
up in your ears once again. Did the Kambosas
0:48
fight just happen? Yes. Are we talking about
0:50
it now? No. Make peace with it. We've got other
0:54
stuff to cover. Joined by the one and only Alex,
0:58
and we still have more Shanada for your fucking
1:03
brains. I'm still here. You're stuck with me
1:06
on both podcasts for one more week. More toilet
1:09
skibbiting. Did I make that a verb properly?
1:14
I think so. So, before we start, I want to extend
1:20
the olive branch to the ultimate effing casuals,
1:23
our compatriots. That cover MMA. We recently
1:28
had. On the 7th. UFC 316. I'm only going to point
1:36
out two of them. Juliana Pena. Got her ass beat.
1:40
By Kayla Harrison. If you saw Kayla Harrison.
1:43
You would think she's like. I'm curious. Where
1:47
all the transvestigators are at. Because they
1:52
see. They'll see some chick. On social media
1:56
and start, like, pointing out her fucking eyebrows
1:59
are further from her jaw than whatever stupid
2:03
shit. But then they, like, a woman like Kayla
2:07
Harrison is a fucking muscle monster. And it's
2:12
fucking crickets. Well, and it's especially crazy
2:17
because who's the rugby lady? Yes, I know who
2:21
you're talking about. They go after her so hard.
2:25
And the boxing chick from Algeria? Yeah. Bonnie?
2:31
Yeah, that one. Yeah. And then, yeah, I have
2:36
also never heard anybody talk about Kayla Harrison.
2:39
Not a word. Which is crazy. But congrats to her.
2:46
She beat the shit out of Pena for as little as
2:49
it lasted. Nearly snapped her arm in two. penya
2:53
uh tapped out fortunately she didn't her pride
3:00
didn't get in the way because that was not going
3:03
to go well if it had continued uh in the main
3:07
event marab dualishvili submits sean o'malley
3:10
in their rematch both of these are for the bantamweight
3:14
titles by the way bantamweight in mma is 135
3:18
so for whatever However that helps you convert.
3:25
Sean O'Malley looked like shit. He looked worse
3:27
than he did the first time. That's what happens
3:31
when you get off the drugs that you're usually
3:33
on, apparently. Yeah, you stop taking drugs,
3:36
stop jerking off, you eat better, and you focus
3:42
on your training. Is Sean O'Malley the one from
3:47
Montana? I believe so, yes. Yeah. That explains
3:53
it. He reps my city now. Oh, does he? Pathetic.
4:02
Nah, it's fine. He's... A for effort. O'Malley.
4:08
How does aging happen in UFC? Is he getting old?
4:13
He's in his 30s, isn't he? Yes, but I don't think...
4:19
He's... I don't think he has that much mileage
4:22
on him. So he's still pretty fresh. And his style
4:24
isn't necessarily one that relies on youth. The
4:28
freak in this equation is Marab. Because the
4:32
guy is a... Like, he's an engine. And it's pedal
4:38
to the floor and the fucking gas tank does not
4:41
run out. That guy's a freak. That was an interesting
4:46
fight. I'll tell you that right now. They really
4:48
tried to push Sean O'Malley on the OC, and that
4:49
failed miserably. Yeah, it did. Poor, poor Isaac.
4:53
I don't know what Isaac said about it, but...
4:55
We'll have his take coming up soon. I want to
5:03
hear it. Well, actually, by the time this comes
5:06
out, it'll have been the day... It'll be yesterday.
5:12
I'm trying to think of... Boxing Before Dark.
5:16
It's on Mondays. Casuals is on Tuesday. And B
5:20
-Sides is on Wednesday. So there you go. I watch
5:24
that when it comes out. Moving on. Let's get
5:29
into the recaps here. A few. Some good ones.
5:35
Friday, June 6th. Really quickly. Salida promotions
5:38
on DAZN. This was Boxing Hall of Fame night.
5:45
And this was the stuff that they put on for it.
5:47
Kind of sucks. But Brandon Moore gets the technical
5:51
decision over Stanley Wright. Stanley Wright
5:55
was on Pro Box one time. And he exceeded expectations.
6:02
Even though the expectations were pretty low.
6:05
Nonetheless, that got him a ticket here. And
6:10
it did not go very well. It did not go well for
6:13
him at all. He looked like he was in worse shape
6:16
this time than he was with a camp. Than he was
6:21
on short notice on Probox. I don't know. Probox
6:26
good, by the way. Huh? Probox good? Probox good.
6:29
Even the Probox buff couldn't help him, though.
6:35
It did not. Moving to Queensberry, also on DAZN.
6:43
This was on June 7th, Saturday. Fabio Wardley
6:47
knocks out Justice Hooney. I expect... I haven't
6:54
heard it yet. I haven't heard it back, but I
6:58
expect Lynn will have given me a lot of shit
7:01
for this. Despite the fact that Justice Hooney
7:04
was winning every second of that fight until
7:08
the one punch. He was winning until he lost.
7:12
She chose Justice Hooney, right? No, she was
7:15
with Bobby O 'Reilly. She did not. Oh, oh, oh.
7:18
Brits. Damn. She's Brits. Oh, damn. Well, it
7:21
was Brits for us, not for the Brits. I'll tell
7:24
you that. That was a good knockout. That was
7:26
a funny knockout. It was. It was a cool knockout.
7:29
Justice Hooney was beating him up the whole fight.
7:32
Absolutely. Even that round, I was like, man,
7:35
he can't get knocked out. And boom! Knockout.
7:41
Justice Hooney. I do think Huni's chin is a little
7:45
suspect. This isn't his first time getting rocked.
7:50
No, but I mean, Fabio Wardley does just have
7:53
good power. But I don't think that particular
7:58
punch would have knocked out very many of the
8:02
heavyweights. Like, sometimes you see a punch
8:06
and you're like, fucking anybody's gonna go down
8:08
with that. But this didn't seem that bad to me.
8:13
Well, I think it was mainly because Justice Huni
8:16
was actually stepping into it. Maybe. That's
8:19
a big reason why he got knocked out. In my opinion.
8:23
No, I agree with you. I think you're right. I
8:26
fucking loved it, though. I told Raz in the Discord,
8:30
I was like, Wardley's going to be losing until
8:32
he wins. And I think it was about round eight.
8:35
He was like, you still feel that way? And I was
8:37
like, yes. Let me see Wardley versus fucking
8:41
Parker, actually. Parker beats Wardley. I think
8:46
so, too. That would be fun, though. It would
8:48
be. It would be a funny fight. Parker's old.
8:51
I want Parker to get his big shots and then disappear.
8:58
I don't really want to see how Parker gets Usyk,
9:00
honestly. I don't like that fight. I want to
9:03
see that one. I do, too. It's not going to be
9:05
like this. No. I don't know. So where does Bobby
9:13
Wardley rank amongst the Henrys now? That's a
9:17
good question. I don't think this changes anything
9:19
for me. I think his stock lowers and raises at
9:25
the same time, dude. How's that? I mean, I think
9:29
he gets more popular, a little more well -known
9:32
because of it. But at the same time, his boxing
9:35
ability, like... It all showed that he's not
9:37
that good of a fighter. I mean... That's true.
9:40
He's not that good of a fighter. That was kind
9:43
of a highlight reel KO, in my opinion. I think
9:45
that was a really good knockout, actually. It
9:49
was funny. It is. Yeah. It does add to his aura.
9:58
A bunch of people have been comparing him to
10:00
Deontay Wilder all of a sudden. Are you fucking
10:03
kidding me? What? That was my response too. But
10:08
I've seen a couple people say we have a new Wilder.
10:11
And I'm like, we do not. Wildly. Wildly? They
10:20
are wildly out of their mind. She just stepped
10:25
up. He's infected by Leo now. I've always been
10:29
infected. The jokes, man. They're too good. The
10:34
jokes. So, Justice Hooney is stopped in the 10th.
10:38
Uh, Frasier Clark in the 1st. Okay. Wilder -esque.
10:44
Uh, Adelaide, 7th. Michael Coffey in the 4th.
10:50
Like, you're... There's some other kind of similarities.
10:55
Like... Wardley started late. He didn't have
10:58
much of an amateur career. Like, all that stuff
11:01
as well. Okay. Because he is 30. And, like, I'm
11:06
just starting. I was just starting to hear of
11:08
him. Like, at the Michael Coffey fight. The Rolly
11:13
Romero didn't start until, what, 20? Is that
11:17
right? 19 or 20. That's when Wilder started.
11:22
Yeah. Wilder went to the Olympics, right? He
11:25
timed it. Yeah, Wilder did go to the Olympics.
11:29
Freakish power can take you to the Olympics.
11:32
There you go. Fabio Wardley to the Olympics confirmed.
11:39
I'll be watching. My math isn't mathing. Wardley
11:44
is 30 and he debuted in 2017, which was 18 years
11:50
ago. No, eight years ago. Sorry. Eighteen? That's
11:54
crazy. Yeah, what the fuck? Eight years ago.
11:56
So he debuted at 22. He turned pro at 22. And
12:01
he's had mostly knockouts. 18 of 19? The only...
12:06
Yeah. Who went the distance? Split decision with
12:10
Frasier Clark in the first one. No, that was
12:13
a split draw. His first fight was a referee points
12:19
decision. That was it. Yeah, four -round fight.
12:24
That's hard to get a knockout. I can kind of
12:29
see the comparisons, but also, no. Just no. Stop
12:34
it. I don't know why people are making comparisons,
12:37
but... Stop it, yeah. I agree with her. Stop
12:41
it. Stop that shit. Stop it. That's just ridiculous.
12:49
Man, anything more for Fabio Wardley? No, I don't
12:54
know who he fights next. Is there some British
12:59
guy he can fight? I'm sure Lynn will tell us
13:03
all about it on the other podcast. Yeah. We can
13:07
leave that there. Yeah. All right. Check out
13:12
Boxing Before Dark for further Brit slop news.
13:17
Yay. Plugs. Top rank at the Scope Arena in Norfolk,
13:23
Virginia. This is going to take some time. I
13:28
know. Let me get some stuff out of the way before
13:32
we talk about the elephant in the room here.
13:36
Keon Davis, the only Davis brother to get a dub
13:42
over Michael Velez. He gets the dub, still manages
13:48
to fucking lose the day, but we'll get to that
13:52
in a moment. Troy Isley, UD over Atundi William.
13:58
Alex, you were shitting on Troy Isley pretty
14:01
much the entire fight. Yeah, that was... It was
14:07
pretty rough. It was rough, bro. I'm a hoper
14:10
for Troy Isley, but that was pretty difficult
14:14
to watch. It was really rough, dude. I don't
14:20
think I watched this one. Better use of your
14:25
time. Whatever it is you were doing. Probably
14:28
sleeping. Nahir Albright. Former Keyshawn Davis
14:34
opponent. Gets the majority decision over Kelvin
14:37
Davis. Takes his undefeated record. And he snatches
14:44
a little WBC trinket. Do we want to do this here,
14:51
or do we want to talk Mason first? Let's save
14:56
all of the news out of the ring stuff for after
15:00
we talk about the fights. Okay, cool. To be fair,
15:05
a lot of it has to do with in the ring, too.
15:07
I mean, even though the near Albright... This
15:10
shit happened outside. Do we still have to talk
15:12
about the fight itself? Yeah. What happened in
15:19
the fight that you want to talk about? Just how
15:22
much of a blunder it was. I mean, come on. It
15:27
was horrible. Calvin Davis had no adjustments.
15:30
He had... It was pretty early on that he found
15:34
out he had no answers to anything that Albright
15:36
was bringing to him. And then... But a BOMAC
15:41
kind of gave up on coaching pretty early. He's
15:44
just like, come on, you can do it. You got to
15:47
do your best. Like, your whole family's here.
15:50
You know, that type of motivational stuff. The
15:53
BOMAC, the typical BOMAC shit? He usually gives
15:57
good tactical advice. Like, when he was coaching
16:01
Troy Isley, he was giving him a lot of really
16:04
sound technical advice. But with Kelvin Davis,
16:08
he just wasn't. Didn't seem like he was even
16:11
trying to. So was Albright better than they expected,
16:17
or did Davis just shit the bed that hard? I think
16:22
it's more of them underestimating Albright and
16:26
Davis shitting the bed. Because Albright gave
16:30
Keyshawn a lot of work, a lot of hard work. So
16:33
I'm not sure why they thought... magically that
16:38
the least skilled of the Davis brothers was going
16:43
to be able to handle it? I don't know. See, I'm
16:47
feeling it, bro. I'm feeling it. I'm feeling
16:50
it. I'm feeling it. I'm feeling it. I'm getting
16:54
angry. I'm getting angry. I'm getting that. I'm
16:58
getting it in. I'm getting it in. So, yeah, Naheer
17:01
Albright pulls the majority decision. Not sure
17:04
who the fuck saw that as a draw. Do we know where
17:08
Sutherland or Cheatham or Weisfeld were? Do we
17:11
know where they were? Let me pull up the scores
17:16
here. I can tell you who it was. It was Brian
17:22
Costello. Which also isn't surprising. He only
17:27
does those East Coast fights and he's kind of
17:29
shit. I didn't recognize the name. He does the...
17:35
this... Kind of not top tier card a lot. He's
17:40
on DAZN a lot. Ah, I see. And I always just assumed
17:44
he was paid off by somebody. Seems so. Because
17:47
he has an Italian name. East Coast Italians,
17:55
man. But racism aside, his cards are suspect
18:00
a lot. Anything more for Nahir Albright? It's
18:06
going to come back up in a moment. I really want
18:08
to mention something. Yeah, we're going to mention
18:10
it. Let's do Abdullah Mason first. Let's give
18:13
Abdullah his flowers. Can I ask Kanata something
18:17
real quick? Sure. Kanata, I know that you have
18:22
a thing for the underdog. And I also know you
18:26
have a thing against people that talk shit and
18:30
also the families that talk shit. How do you
18:34
feel about Kevin losing? I... Yeah, Kelvin. How'd
18:43
you feel about that? I liked it. I liked it a
18:46
lot. I actually thought all of the Kay Davises
18:50
were brothers. I thought there was like six of
18:52
them. I just found out that three of them aren't
18:56
related. But... No, I... To be honest, I was
19:02
not that invested in this entire card anyways,
19:05
but... No, I was happy. I love the underdogs
19:08
winning. I also love when dickheads fail, so
19:11
this was great. Especially when they fail at
19:15
home in front of their home crowd. Perfect. Do
19:20
you think that it was well -deserved before,
19:22
of course, the incidents? I mean, I think Albright
19:28
clearly won the fight, but I didn't care that
19:31
much about Kelvin Davis, to be honest. I didn't
19:35
hate him enough to add to the... You know? Yeah.
19:41
Not the brother who sold his Keyshawn. I don't
19:47
have that big a hate on for any of them, to be
19:50
honest. They just aren't that high on my radar.
19:54
They're kind of like dickheads over here that
19:57
I hear about a lot, but don't particularly care
19:59
about. These guys are all in weight classes I
20:02
don't follow. Sorry, Alex. I know that's not
20:05
what you wanted. No, no, no. That's exactly what
20:08
I wanted from you. All right. Abdullah Mason.
20:17
Referee technical decision in five over Jeremiah
20:22
Nakatilla. Nakatilla. Let me get that right.
20:29
Ass whooping from pillar to post. That was just...
20:33
That would be an offensive masterclass, I would
20:38
say. Not to say that Nakatilo is like this ultimate
20:43
opponent, but this is what... Abdullah Mason
20:46
always looks good. This is what you want the
20:50
hot prospects to be doing. To be clowning on
20:55
people. I thought Abdullah Mason looked exactly
20:59
like you expected him to. I think this was good.
21:02
Yeah. I did feel a little bad for him that his
21:06
first headlining was because somebody else...
21:09
Shit the bed. Shit the bed hard. And that place
21:14
looked pretty empty. That's not what Abdullah
21:18
Mason's first headliner should have been. There
21:21
was a bunch of people got their money back because
21:23
they wanted to see Keyshawn Davis and he blew
21:26
weight by four fucking pounds. And refused to
21:30
eat... Okay. But... I do feel bad for Abdullah
21:35
Mason a little bit. But I am glad that he looked
21:39
really good in his first headlining. But Abdullah
21:42
Mason showed up and showed out. He did exactly
21:45
what he's supposed to do. And he took his time,
21:47
too. He looked good. He looked really good. Yeah,
21:50
he didn't rush. I gotta give all the props to
21:52
Abdullah Mason. He was amazing out there. Yeah.
22:01
I was really happy with. I major. Abdullah Mason
22:07
Stan. It's not a secret. But he. Yeah. Lived
22:15
up to what I was hoping. Or what I was expecting.
22:20
And I'm honestly a little bit distracted. I can't.
22:24
Another thing. To feel bad about. For Abdullah
22:28
Mason. Because he was great. It wasn't his fault
22:33
that 25 % of the people that had tickets got
22:37
refunds. Fuck. And nobody's going to actually
22:44
talk about his fight. Yeah, because of all the
22:46
other nonsense. Everybody's going to talk about
22:48
this other bullshit. That Alex is going to introduce.
22:52
Yeah, Alex, what is it? I do want to say one
22:57
more thing about Dill Mason. He showed absolute
23:01
class on the weekend. He was phenomenal. He was
23:04
very professional. I think that's how a boxer
23:10
should act in the sport, and that's how they
23:13
should move themselves. Unlike... We're getting
23:19
into it right now. Yeah, go for it. The Davis
23:21
brothers. Specifically, Keyshawn. That was...
23:27
I can't remember a time where the PR for a fighter
23:33
has been this bad in God knows how long. And
23:38
this year has been horrible. He fucked himself
23:42
so bad this weekend. I think that this is the
23:46
worst I've seen. Not just for one person, but
23:49
for multiple. This killed, in my opinion, this
23:53
really killed a lot of top ranks. future earnings
23:58
for the foreseeable future. Because not only
24:02
did Keyshawn not be able to make weight, which
24:05
that itself is ridiculous. I honestly thought
24:08
he was taking this camp seriously, and it breaks
24:10
my heart because I've been gassing Keyshawn up
24:12
for a while. And it breaks my heart to see Keyshawn
24:16
do that. And I think he did it on purpose just
24:19
to get an edge over De Los Santos. I do too.
24:22
I was going to bring this up too. I think he
24:25
miscalculated. Because right when he blew weight,
24:29
they told him he had time to change and interviewed
24:32
him, right? And he could try. He's like, yeah,
24:35
I'm not going to try. I missed by four pounds,
24:38
but I think De Los Santos will still fight. Like,
24:41
those were his exact words. That is honestly
24:44
ridiculous. Missing weight has become a fucking
24:46
strategy. Like, Ryan Garcia did it against Devin
24:51
Haney and got just close enough that they won't
24:53
back out. And Keyshawn just miscalculated. You
24:58
know what? I want to get into conspiracy later
24:59
on, but I hope Abdullah never gets involved with
25:04
Mayweather. Yeah, I know your conspiracy theory.
25:09
How is it that every time a fighter links up
25:11
with Mayweather, they end up going to bullshit?
25:15
And it's funny because it wasn't just Keyshawn.
25:17
It was all the brothers. And they all met up
25:20
with Mayweather. What does that tell you? What
25:23
does that tell you? I think Mayweather... has
25:26
a bad influence on the sport. I get it. He was
25:29
a phenomenal fighter, but why is it that every
25:33
up -and -coming fighter he gets with turns to
25:36
shit? Not turns to shit, but something happens
25:38
to him. Or they end up falling out. Mayweather's
25:42
whole thing was getting people to hate watch.
25:44
Why do you want him to give you advice on how
25:49
to deal with your fans and shit? His whole thing
25:52
was getting people to watch him hoping he'd lose.
25:55
Like, why do you want that? I don't know. I fucking
25:59
hate Floyd Mayweather. I always have. His mentality,
26:06
the way he runs his gym, the way he promoted
26:12
himself, the way he promotes... And Alex, you're
26:15
right. I never really thought about it, but pretty
26:17
much everybody who was connected with him, they
26:20
get into trouble. And it's never... like, good
26:24
trouble. Like, I don't know. I'm not entirely
26:29
sure what that means in the context of boxing.
26:32
But... Well, you can get into, like, reasonable
26:37
trouble with the law. Like, as much as I fucking
26:40
hate Tyson Fury, his going on binge drinking
26:43
and getting publicly intoxicated and stuff is
26:47
whatever if a boxer does it, right? Yeah, that's
26:52
fine. Like, good trouble he paid the price for
26:58
it but like David Benavidez he pops for cocaine
27:00
like come on dude there are many worse things
27:05
that you could be doing with yourself and your
27:08
time yeah that's what I mean the dude was just
27:13
partying a little bit who the fuck cares he paid
27:16
the price for it so leave him the fuck alone
27:23
I'd never really put the Mayweather part together,
27:26
though. That's mind -blown here. Do you think
27:32
that it's valid? Yeah, I do. Adrian Broner was
27:36
considerably less of a dumbass when he split
27:42
with Mayweather. Before and after, Tank, I think,
27:49
has... Floyd has been more hands -off with him
27:53
and Tank has been much less of an idiot. What
28:00
did he tell them? What do you think he told them
28:03
that would make them... Can I say nothing too?
28:07
It's funny because I was watching the interviews
28:09
with Keyshawn and the interview with Sakara Talk
28:13
was so much different than the other interviews
28:14
he's had even before that. It just looks like...
28:20
Somehow, something happened with him where he
28:22
just started saying, I don't care. He started
28:24
talking like Tank. I don't care about the belts.
28:26
I only care about the money. That's the Mayweather
28:30
effect. That is exactly... Mayweather's fucking
28:34
words right there. You're telling me that Mayweather
28:36
doesn't have a little bit of influence, dude?
28:39
Bullshit. Bullshit. Keyshawn fucked up bad this
28:43
weekend. And we're not even getting into the
28:45
whole... The actual fuck up, yeah. This could
28:49
have at least been thrown under the rug. He could
28:52
have gone over this. He could have crossed over
28:55
the bridge and persevered. You know what I mean?
28:59
I fucked up, it won't happen again. I'll be better
29:03
from here. Even if he had just done the, okay,
29:07
I got an hour and went and dropped as much weight
29:10
as he could. honest to god if he did that and
29:14
he was three pounds over instead of four pounds
29:16
over but had clearly tried and dehydrated himself
29:20
a little bit i think de los santos would have
29:22
would have fought him but he's like nah i don't
29:27
i don't need to do that it was samson lukowicz
29:30
that he said like i touched him like just pat
29:34
like in passing i touched him and he was completely
29:37
dry like he was had never been to a sauna He
29:41
hadn't been trying. Yeah, he hadn't been trying
29:42
to cut the last pounds. At all. At all. Four
29:47
pounds is so overweight. That's a whole weight
29:51
class. Exactly. And the thing is, it's funny,
29:55
he dealt with that with Lemos. With Lemos. And
29:58
he complained about it. And now, now, you think
30:03
it's okay? He's an A -side now. Exactly, he's
30:07
an A -side. You don't give a shit. You don't
30:08
give a damn. I am glad, though, that De Los Santos
30:11
still got paid. Oh, yeah, me too. That is one
30:17
decent thing that happened. He still got paid.
30:21
But I guess we should talk about the fucking
30:24
ridiculousness after the fights. Right. So, as
30:30
I mentioned, I hear Albright beats Kelvin Davis.
30:33
In the back, Keon and Keyshawn. They both...
30:39
tried to attack Nahir Albright. They tried to
30:44
jump him. They fucking assaulted him. And they
30:49
brought their fucking baby? This is the part
30:51
that blew my mind. They were pushing a stroller
30:54
and didn't even move it when they started this
30:57
fight. Some white lady from the crowd sprints
31:00
over and steals the kid so it doesn't get hit
31:03
or stepped on or something. I don't want to bring
31:07
race into this, but I do know that I've saw people
31:10
online bring race into that, dude. Why do you
31:14
open yourself up to that, dude? Why even let
31:16
this happen? Why even let this happen at all?
31:19
I just pointed out it was some random white lady
31:21
because I know it wasn't the kid's mom because
31:24
I have no idea what the mom looks like. I think
31:27
the mom was right there, right next to Keyshawn.
31:29
But it was just... it honestly it pained me to
31:34
see like people be racist about online because
31:35
honestly it shouldn't have been like a racist
31:37
thing no doesn't matter what color you are take
31:41
care of your fucking kid but but the thing is
31:44
that oh my god dude why are you doing this why
31:48
did you the thing is i know it wasn't here albright
31:51
that started it because he was in his locker
31:52
room there's no way that oh They met up in the
31:59
hallway and they exchanged words. He said some
32:02
bad words to them. No, they were in the locker
32:04
room. They took away that guy's thunder. His
32:10
win. They really tried to do that. You know?
32:13
They really tried to... And he got cut in that
32:19
altercation afterwards, too. That's an easy lawsuit
32:23
right there. Easy lawsuit. He should. That's
32:26
fucking assault. They came to his locker room
32:28
and hit him hard enough to split his head open.
32:31
And just the unprofessionalism of the apology.
32:36
You're going to say we apologize for what we
32:39
did, but we're in the right? Get the fuck out
32:42
of here. In the right. I didn't hear an apology.
32:45
I didn't hear that. Yeah, what did they actually
32:47
say? I'm pretty sure there was, again, I was
32:51
out of key on her, Kelvin. That apologized for
32:54
his brother's actions and then said that the
32:55
truth will come to light. You know what I mean?
33:03
The truth will come to light, so we weren't wrong.
33:09
That alludes to the fact that you weren't wrong.
33:11
Yeah. Oh, this was from the brother that wasn't
33:14
there. Kelvin. This is from Kelvin. Yeah. I can't
33:17
mix anymore. So he's the only one who fucking
33:20
apologized and he didn't even really do anything.
33:23
Like, in all honesty, Kelvin seems pretty innocent
33:26
in this whole thing. As far as I can tell. As
33:29
far as it seems, like, he was not involved with
33:32
any of this. As far as we know, he wasn't involved
33:35
with any of this. Yeah. God. Damn. I liked Kishan
33:42
before, like, before all of this. Like, the missing
33:46
weight. It was really shitty, but I think Alex,
33:52
like you said, you could sweep it under the rug
33:54
a little bit. You can rebuild from it. You can
33:59
repolish your image. But this, like you're taking
34:07
your baby to go jump some dude? What? Well, I
34:11
did see something saying that the cops hauled
34:15
them off. So there might be more coming out later
34:18
that they've been charged with assault or something.
34:21
The cops got involved. They were on the scene
34:24
immediately. It bugs the hell out of me that
34:30
just two weeks ago, most people were glazing
34:34
the hell out of Keyshawn, and rightfully so.
34:37
And now he's seen as a prick. He's a pariah.
34:42
An asshole. He's a pariah. You know? It's just,
34:47
I don't know. It makes me very sad because that's
34:50
a lot of potential that's not being lost, but
34:55
potential viewership that is going to get lost,
34:57
especially in his hometown. I would not step
35:00
foot in that town for years. That is a disgrace
35:04
to your people. And if I was Kelvin, I would
35:07
be... Kelvin should be fucking pissed, too, because
35:12
this is going to ruin his name as well, and he
35:14
didn't even do anything. I was waiting to put
35:16
that in, is that Keon and Kelvin being with Top
35:20
Rank is only a favor to Keyshawn. It's not like
35:25
they got there on their own merits. And then
35:29
you want to do some shit like this? You want
35:32
to get cut from Top Rank? Because that's how
35:34
you get cut from Top Rank. And that's how you
35:38
fuck over your brother. Yeah. Bad. Especially
35:42
when their names are all so similar, I can't
35:44
keep them apart anyways. This is why I never
35:49
know which of the Charlo's has fucked up, because
35:51
I can't keep their names separated. I don't know,
35:56
man. I think this is gonna affect Keyshawn Davis
35:59
a lot. A lot more than he realizes. I don't think
36:03
he's realized how much he fucked up yet. But,
36:07
like, why do all this? I don't know. Honestly,
36:10
he had to have been under the influence. You
36:12
think so? He had to have been under the influence,
36:13
yeah. I don't think so. I think he just got in
36:17
his head that he's hanging out with Money Mayweather
36:19
and he's the A -side and he can do whatever the
36:21
fuck he wants. And if he wants to be a little
36:24
bit of a villain, it'll drive up viewership.
36:26
And he was convinced that De Los Santos was going
36:29
to fight him anyways. I feel like at the altercation,
36:33
I feel like there's just no way he... I don't
36:36
know. How dumb do you have to be to do that?
36:38
Oh, maybe after the fight, yeah. He might have
36:42
been, like, drinking or whatever before. Fucking
36:46
ridiculous. Quite. Anything more for the Davis
36:52
situation? I want to say something to Sonata.
36:57
Sonata, this must have been great for you. Watch.
36:59
Just unfold. What? I'm not that invested in these
37:05
guys. It must have been a little like, you know,
37:09
just seeing it. Fucking Americans doing American
37:12
things? Yeah. A little bit. This is why I tend
37:17
to cheer against Americans. They tend to have
37:20
bad personalities in boxing. I'll tell you, it's
37:25
just, it's so sad because honestly, I saw a path
37:28
for Keyshawn. I saw a path to where he could
37:31
have became a potential star in the future. I
37:34
mean, yeah, I understand that that villain, the
37:37
villain is not supposed to be, you know, what's
37:41
the word? Likeable? Yeah, I guess. Yeah, likeable.
37:46
But you know what? Boxing needs a villain. Boxing
37:48
needs a hero and boxing needs a villain. A villain's
37:51
a hero. And Keyshawn's a villain. No, I guess.
37:55
Well, Keyshawn hit the villain route a little
37:58
too hard. There's a middle path there. Also,
38:02
seeing him push a woman was nasty. I don't know
38:05
if we mentioned that, but that was sad. That
38:07
was nasty. I hated seeing that. This whole thing,
38:10
I just hate seeing. It's hard. It's really hard
38:13
to see. Because I've been watching Keyshawn since
38:17
the Olympics. And with the weed stuff, I kind
38:21
of felt hopeless for him. After that, though,
38:25
I felt good. It felt great. And I honestly thought
38:30
that he could have probably taken over at least
38:33
after Tank. You know, he could have brought more
38:37
fans to the sport, you know what I mean? Could
38:39
have taken over the casual audience, but not
38:41
for a while, at least. It's going to be a long
38:43
time until he does that. I honestly, I think
38:47
he's going to just crash out hard. Yeah. I kind
38:51
of agree, because just the way that he's been
38:55
holding himself this whole weekend, no. He does
38:59
not know how to. He got two in and over his head.
39:02
I think that's just the bottom line. He got too
39:06
full of himself. Yeah. All right. Let's move
39:15
to Sunday, June 8th. First one quick. Jai Obataya
39:21
at the Gold Coast Convention Center in Broad
39:24
Beach, Australia. Opataya sparks Claudio Squeo
39:29
in five. This was such a waste of time. It was
39:35
fucking boring as shit. Opataya kind of carried
39:40
Squeo for a little bit. And yeah, this is not
39:47
what Opataya should be doing with his time. Well,
39:52
and he brought up, like, Squale's not even really
39:54
a heavyweight, is he? He looked really stocky.
40:00
I don't think he's a cruiser either. Oh, sorry,
40:04
this is cruiser weight. You're right. Yeah. He
40:10
didn't look like he needed to be that weight.
40:12
He looked like Fat Canelo. I don't know. Ah,
40:18
he did. A little bit. Waste of time. It went
40:22
exactly how everybody thought it would, except
40:24
maybe Opetiah took longer than expected. I think
40:32
that it was just classical Opetiah. Again, I
40:35
know I've had my difference with Opetiah. I also
40:38
say that he's not as skilled as I think he could
40:43
or should be. But he's got that dog in him. That's
40:47
the problem. I gotta give it to him. He's got
40:49
the dog in him. I want to see him fight Zerto
40:51
next. I want to see him fight Zerto. But this
40:57
was a waste of time. It was a stay busy fight,
41:00
you know? Leo, did you see our boy Tyler the
41:06
Wizard Blizzard got a unanimous decision? I did
41:09
not. I didn't see the whole card. Anyways, I
41:14
didn't watch this fight either. I was on the
41:16
train back from the other ones. I only watched
41:19
the main event. And speaking of the other ones.
41:25
Yes. Taken at the Adiaki Coliseum. Yeah. I almost
41:32
went to the wrong place. I didn't notice it was
41:35
the Coliseum. Much easier to get to, and it's
41:37
a nice venue. But, and I will bitch about this
41:40
more on Boxing Before Dark, there is no concession
41:44
stand of any kind. What? I got there, I found
41:49
my seat, and then I always go ask somebody where,
41:52
like, you can buy food and drinks, because sometimes
41:54
it's really hard to find in Japan. And the lady's
41:57
like, no, there's no store. I was like, no, not
42:01
a store, like, I just want a beer and fries.
42:05
Yeah. Something, right? And she goes, no, not
42:09
here. And I was like, motherfucker. So I got
42:13
there really early. I bought a t -shirt. I bought
42:16
a Nishida t -shirt. And I had to run back to
42:18
the train station to buy beer and chips and bring
42:22
them back with me. Like, I did notice that everybody
42:26
in line had drinks and food, but that's really
42:29
common in Japan anyways, even if they do sell
42:31
stuff there that people bring outside food and
42:34
drinks in. So I didn't think about it. And yeah,
42:37
I had to run and get food to bring back with
42:40
me. Bullshit. You know? That's funny. They had
42:44
no food there. They didn't even have vending
42:48
machines. Like, usually there's at least vending
42:52
machines. What the fuck is Japan doing, bro?
42:55
Get on your shit. Like, in Oda City, it was literally
42:59
just folding tables with buckets of beer. Like,
43:04
big ice buckets with beer cans in it. But they
43:07
at least sold cans of beer. It was ridiculous.
43:10
And for Nakatani fight, did you? Yeah. Like,
43:15
fuck. Anyways, that's my... Get your shit together.
43:20
Rant about that, but anyways. Is there anything
43:23
on the undercard? Other than the two that I have?
43:25
I'll save it for the other one. Okay. But yeah,
43:29
there was that one kid got a crazy knockout.
43:32
I swear to God, it was the first fight. The first
43:36
punch of the fight was a KO. I gotta look at
43:39
his name so I don't... Japanese, I'm assuming?
43:44
Yeah, yeah. He's not somebody I've seen before.
43:51
Riku Masuda. Absolutely one -hitter quittered
43:56
this guy. Bantam, I think. This was pretty much
44:02
all Bantam. I think the two un -televised ones
44:04
were not. But yeah, it's a really short fight.
44:12
If you want to see a fun knockout, go look up
44:16
Riku Masuda versus Michael Banquez. I'm glad
44:21
at least there's someone in the world that boxes
44:23
so big. You know what I mean? It's like their
44:26
sport, you know what I mean? Yeah, I think the
44:29
arena was pretty much sold out. The only empty
44:31
seats were the ones they don't sell behind the
44:33
big screens they put up for you to watch the
44:35
highlights. That's good to know. That's good
44:38
to know. It's succeeding somewhere in the world.
44:41
Tickets are cheap, though. Oh, yeah, that too.
44:46
That might help. Yeah. Because you sent me the
44:49
link to the Ryzen one, Leo. Yeah. And my bottom
44:55
of the raised seating ticket was that $300 price
45:00
that is fucking nosebleeds for Ryzen. So that
45:06
might be why the boxing sells so well. Alright,
45:12
so the two that I have picked up here, Tenshin
45:15
Asukawa against UD over Victor Santillan. I think
45:21
Bally put it really well in that Tenshin, he's
45:25
showing more, like he's developing more, but
45:29
as the opposition gets better, his lack of power
45:35
is becoming more apparent. That's a perfect way
45:39
to describe it. Yeah. It's unfortunate. I'm a
45:43
big fan. Maybe not that big of a fan, but I do
45:50
appreciate what I'm seeing. And we're seeing
45:54
the ceiling at the very least. Yeah, I don't
45:58
think he's as good as people wanted him to be.
46:00
Yeah. Unfortunately. That's another good way
46:03
to put it. He's not as awesome as he might have
46:06
been in kickboxing. Also, did you notice that
46:12
he shaved half his name into his hair? I did.
46:15
Do you know what that first half of his name
46:19
means? It's the 10 part. And it's like heaven,
46:24
heavenly, godly. Oh, Jesus. Yeah. He thinks highly
46:31
of himself. Yeah, no kidding. This is why I hate
46:35
him. And it's 100 % he left his hair black this
46:38
time so the shaved -in kanji would show up. Anyways.
46:44
He did say in an interview that he said, this
46:52
is my second fight against a bald man, and I'm
46:54
not very good with bald men, so we'll see how
46:58
it goes. I'm sorry, I like it. I like that. It's
47:04
funny as hell. I did get a couple people hate
47:11
cheering for Santian. I got a couple Santian
47:15
calls going around the arena. That was fun. I
47:19
don't think it was loud enough to show up on
47:22
TV or anything, but there was like six of us.
47:26
My brother did say he saw me on TV. oh shit that
47:32
was pretty cool yeah my brother was watching
47:35
and uh just after the anthems they panned the
47:39
crowd and my brother said he saw me you should
47:42
have tried to start the wave i don't think japan
47:44
knows what that is i don't think that's a thing
47:48
i bet they do but they don't they wouldn't do
47:50
it they definitely wouldn't do it i don't know
47:57
who they have Plans for Tension next. Because
48:01
I assumed they were going to have Tension fight
48:03
Takei. But that's not what's happening. That
48:07
doesn't seem like a good idea either. I think
48:10
it'd be fucking great. Well, yeah, of course
48:12
you would. Yeah. What's that supposed to mean,
48:17
Leo? That she fucking hates Tension and that
48:21
Tension versus Takei, I think Takei is adapted
48:25
to boxing way better. better than... Tenshin's
48:30
done it well, but Takei's done it better. And
48:34
Takei's got more power. For sure. And Tenshin
48:39
gets hit. So, I just, I think Takei would get
48:43
a knockout. Well, yeah, at least you know who
48:47
Shinada will be rooting for. It's not like it's
48:51
a secret. Oh, really? Speaking of knockouts,
48:59
Junto Nakatani. Referee decision over Ryusuke
49:03
Nishida. I can hear you're not a fan, girly.
49:10
What were the cards at the end? Was it like 5
49:13
-1, 4 -2, and 4 -2? The cards, yeah. Yeah, 5
49:19
-1, 4 -2, 4 -2. Okay, so I was... I did say on
49:27
record that I thought Nakatani would win, but
49:30
Nishida would do better than everyone expected.
49:33
And I think that did happen. But I am a little
49:38
disappointed in Junto getting so dirty when he
49:42
wasn't winning like he thought he should. Oh,
49:45
with all the wrestling and stuff. So I don't
49:50
think it probably came up on the broadcast or
49:54
anything. But that last round, he actually popped
49:58
out Nishida's shoulder. It was dislocated. They
50:01
had to put it back into place in the locker room.
50:04
Oh my god. And I'm 100 % sure that was done in
50:09
one of those clinches. Yeah, he was like throwing
50:12
him around. And did you see him punch him when
50:16
he was down? It wasn't super hard, but it was
50:19
pretty blatant. He wrestled him and threw him
50:22
down, and he was on his knee, and Nakatani, like,
50:26
popped him one. That's not like Nakatani, dude.
50:29
That is not like Nakatani. No. I think he was
50:33
getting frustrated because he wasn't doing as
50:35
well as he thought he should. But I was disappointed
50:38
in Nakatani. I'm not gonna lie. I had been like,
50:43
I don't care who wins and Nakatani will win,
50:46
but he disappointed me. I was not impressed with
50:49
his actions. He had a very good fight, but just,
50:53
man, that was, I can't believe that. Watch it,
50:59
though. I'm not making it up. I understand you're
51:02
not making it up, but Jesus Christ, that's horrible.
51:05
I was very disappointed. I hope that doesn't
51:09
become a pattern, especially considering what
51:11
we've been seeing, you know? I think this is
51:15
a little bit of a rivalry thing as well. Nishida
51:21
is from Osaka, and Junto is from Kanagawa. Oh,
51:27
he's from somewhere that I don't know where it
51:31
is, actually. Never mind. He lives in Kanagawa
51:36
now. I don't know where the Mei prefecture is.
51:42
Do you, Leo? No. Neither. Okay, no, I'm just
51:49
making shit up. They're both Kansai boys, so
51:51
never mind. Maybe that's part of the rivalry,
51:55
is who gets to represent. Maybe. I mean, that's
52:01
still ridiculous. I mean, Nakatani still looked
52:06
good, but... And he's got power. I am disappointed
52:13
the doctor didn't force it to go to the cards.
52:16
I know that is entirely just a moral victory
52:18
thing, but that eye got closed because of a head
52:23
clash. An accidental head clash. And that is
52:26
definitely what stopped the fight. I dislike
52:28
that they made Nishida's corner stop it. Or asked
52:33
the ref to stop it. Should have been doctor stoppage
52:38
on an accidental head clash and then unanimous
52:41
decision for Nakatani. Not. A corner retirement.
52:47
He looked bad too. He looked like a crow magnet.
52:51
That eye is fucked. That's fucked. That actually
52:57
is devastating. It was a fun fight though. Lots
53:03
of action. Lots of trading. I enjoyed it. It
53:08
was a good night. That was nasty when they stopped
53:10
it. He just looked bad. I'm glad they did stop
53:13
it. Yeah, no, his corner did the right thing
53:16
for sure. And I did notice that they iced his
53:20
arm and held it when they walked him out. But
53:23
I didn't realize it was that bad. That was a
53:29
good fight, though. It was a good fight. I think
53:35
my prediction was correct, though. I think Nishida
53:38
probably got some fans out of this one. Oh, yeah.
53:41
Hopefully. The exposure was... It was a lot.
53:47
Like, and I think he... He held himself well.
53:51
I think. Like Rocky? Yeah. Nishida's biggest
53:57
problem is he doesn't have much power. I don't
54:01
know. I hope Nishida heals up well. And hopefully
54:05
he gets another shot. I think he did show he's
54:08
at that top level. Like, he belongs with the
54:11
big dogs. Well, the biggest dog took him out.
54:17
Yeah, well, it happens. When Nakatani inevitably
54:21
moves up, do you think it's a possibility that
54:24
he can unify? Get the titles unified? Nishida?
54:28
Yeah. I don't know. I don't think Nishida's that
54:34
good. He's not gonna become undisputed. But I
54:38
just mean, like, he belongs there. He belongs
54:40
fighting for belts. Okay. Alright. Well. Little

LEO33862. Buzz, motherfucker. Right now. Alright.
1:00:14
Shit. Alright, Ohashi. I'm trying to decide if
1:00:22
I can afford to go to this one or not. It's not
1:00:26
that expensive. This is the cheaper venue. I
1:00:28
can get away with a $100 ticket. There's a lot
1:00:33
of stuff on it. Only one that really stood out
1:00:35
to me is Brian Norman versus Jin Sasaki for the
1:00:38
WBO welterweight title. I'm expecting Brian to
1:00:44
kind of school him. Tanada, what's your analysis
1:00:49
on this? I also kind of expect Jin to lose. Yeah,
1:00:57
that's kind of the point. Me too. Yeah. But,
1:01:03
imagine if he doesn't. When was the last time
1:01:07
Japan had a welterweight? Oh, shit. Like a champion?
1:01:13
I was about to say, I don't even think they ever
1:01:15
have. Murata? Who fought... Okay. Brandon Lee.
1:01:25
Korean. Me being blatantly stupid. Yeah, I don't
1:01:33
know if I remember where they had one. What weight
1:01:36
class... What pounds is this? 140? 47. There
1:01:42
was that one guy in the 70s with the afro. What
1:01:46
weight was he? Anyways, doesn't matter. It would
1:01:49
be cool. It would be cool if Japan got a welterweight
1:01:56
title. Well, as much as that would be cool to
1:02:04
happen, I do still want to see Boots versus Norman.
1:02:09
Fair. It also seems kind of... that they flew
1:02:15
Brian Norman out here. It does. But I just don't
1:02:18
get it. They had to fly him away from the boots.
1:02:24
Didn't he turn down boots because he had this?
1:02:28
No, I think he took this to turn down boots.
1:02:32
Fair enough. All right. Yeah, fair enough. Maybe
1:02:37
he just wanted a trip to Japan. It is pretty
1:02:40
cool here. You could be like Canelo. All right,
1:02:44
moving on. This is going to be a lot of quick
1:02:47
hits. Friday, June 20th. Golden Boy at Thunder
1:02:53
Studios. Mentioned last week. Like, they don't
1:02:57
have... I think Alex, you said Golden Boy is
1:02:59
cooked. This is all they got. I don't recognize
1:03:04
any of these names. Like, not one. That's the
1:03:09
biggest problem that we have with Golden Boy.
1:03:12
I consider myself to be quite a sicko. And I
1:03:15
recognize one. And it's not from anything good.
1:03:22
Who is it? Rubel Kava. I saw him. I'm pretty
1:03:27
sure I saw him in his last fight. Wait. No, it's
1:03:32
not. Which mixed decision draw? No, I don't.
1:03:38
I didn't see him do anything. I don't recognize
1:03:40
anyone. I literally don't recognize a single
1:03:46
name on here. Yeah. This is the things that...
1:03:50
How the fuck is Golden Boys ever going to survive
1:03:52
with these type of cards? Ryan's out. Virgil's
1:03:56
out. I mean, all they got is Zerno, but... Hell.
1:04:00
I mean, he's not that big of a name. No. They
1:04:04
lost Munguia to the top rank. What the hell are
1:04:08
they going to do? Well, shall we continue? Ponder
1:04:12
that one. 833 Lux Pods. What the hell is Goldenboy
1:04:17
going to do? Because all they got is this. This
1:04:21
is all they're putting on. This is sad, actually.
1:04:27
They went from having Mayweather and Canelo and
1:04:29
Sugar Shade Mosley to this flop. I mean, I'm
1:04:33
not trying to take away from the fighters on
1:04:35
this card. I mean, they're all boxes. I still
1:04:37
got to give them the props, but man. They are
1:04:40
not famous. No. On the 21st, there are two quick
1:04:49
hits. Number one, this took me a little bit of
1:04:53
digging to get some information on it. But it's
1:04:57
Jojo Diaz versus Alexis De La Cruz. Eight rounds
1:05:00
at 135. That's pretty much all you need to know
1:05:04
about the card. Why is Jojo still fighting? Yes.
1:05:09
Money. Just stop. 360 promotions at the Chumash
1:05:20
Casino in something is. Headline Callum Walsh
1:05:26
versus Elias Espadas. That's about all I got
1:05:33
for you. No shit. Matchroom. Oh, go on. No, I
1:05:41
was just going to say, these are pretty bleak.
1:05:43
Very. I might have to find a different spot to
1:05:48
cut the ad break because this preview section
1:05:52
is fucking sad. This is not a good week. No.
1:05:59
Matchroom at the Resorts World Arena. Need to
1:06:03
get back to what? We could probably talk about
1:06:05
Keyshawn a little bit. Galalia Phi versus Francisco
1:06:12
Rodriguez is the headline. Peter McGrail versus
1:06:17
Iona Baluta. Also on the card. So isn't that
1:06:23
nice? Peter McGrail I recognize. I don't know
1:06:26
Bam's fighting this week. Sorry, I'm being stupid.
1:06:32
Phi versus Rodriguez. I hate the Yafais. I hate
1:06:38
them so much. Alright. Oh shit, Brandon Lee.
1:06:41
Yeah. Stick of the devil. Yep. Top rank at the
1:06:47
Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. There
1:06:50
are so many fights on this card. It's a busy
1:06:53
one. Milnicki. Vito Milnicki is headlining versus
1:06:59
Camille Garzalik. Garzalik, I think it is. he
1:07:07
was a he had like a promotion going I think with
1:07:12
his father and they had quite a stable going
1:07:17
on for them and then I think they got absorbed
1:07:20
by top rank but yeah Brandon Lee vs Elias Araujo
1:07:28
man I hope Brandon Lee looks good he's still
1:07:33
undefeated There's still hope for a return. I
1:07:38
just, I feel like his stuff is more mental than
1:07:42
anything. Yes. Like, he needs some more self
1:07:46
-confidence. He needs to take some... And he
1:07:50
got scared. Well, and I do kind of feel like
1:07:55
he does too much other shit besides boxing. Because
1:07:59
he's a bit of an influencer and he models and
1:08:02
stuff too, doesn't he? I don't know. I'm making
1:08:07
stuff up. I'm a boxing nerd, not a modeling nerd,
1:08:11
honestly. No, well... Actually, I didn't mean
1:08:16
to sound like an asshole. I was trying to make
1:08:17
a funny joke that doesn't sound like me being
1:08:19
a prick. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't
1:08:22
mean it like that. Did I spell his name wrong
1:08:28
or does he spell his name wrong? Man, we should
1:08:31
have had Lynn on for this one to talk the...
1:08:34
Yeah, we'll cover it. It'll be covered. Yeah.
1:08:40
Someone's got to watch the slop, and it ain't
1:08:43
going to be us. It's not going to be me. Fair
1:08:46
enough. We have to watch the main events, but
1:08:49
we're not going to watch the slop. Fair enough.
1:08:52
And you know what? If Lynn can do it, I'm proud
1:08:55
of her. But she talks so much shit about my little
1:08:58
Japanese guys that are so much more entertaining.
1:09:01
And that's why we got to do the me versus Lynn.
1:09:04
I really want to do that so bad, dude. That would
1:09:07
be so funny. Okay. I'll try and help convince
1:09:12
her. She's kind of a character. She's a character.
1:09:15
She's a character, I'll tell you. I listened
1:09:18
to y 'all's podcast. It was good. With her on,
1:09:20
it's pretty funny. They're like, dude, what are
1:09:22
you talking about? What are you talking about?
1:09:25
And that's what you hear. Never mind. Oh, my
1:09:29
God. Leo cuts out, like, half of it. I cut out
1:09:32
a lot. I imagine what I say, dude. God damn.
1:09:36
She's the British version of me, and she's like
1:09:39
the British version of Shannara. I'll tell you.
1:09:42
It's funny. That's what I'm saying. It would
1:09:45
be funny just to have me and her against each
1:09:48
other. I'll try and convince her. I'll try and
1:09:52
convince her. And Leo can edit for two days.
1:09:55
Yeah, that's why I posted earlier. Whenever I
1:09:59
import the audio and it's... less than an hour
1:10:03
it's like oh thank fucking christ like i just
1:10:08
did i just did a boxing before dark and it was
1:10:11
like an hour and 45 jesus yeah we're almost two
1:10:15
hours fucking christ but you know what that's
1:10:19
not bad though you have a lot of content yeah
1:10:22
i guess i guess and you know some people might
1:10:25
like that you know some people might like the
1:10:27
britslop yeah you might have people like lynn
1:10:30
that's what the patreons were Yeah. That's where
1:10:33
it's at. And you know what? I think if she's
1:10:38
that enthusiastic about British boxing, dude,
1:10:40
that's a great addition to the team. That is
1:10:43
a great addition to the team. I know it's going
1:10:46
to be a lot to cut out. Yeah. It's going to give
1:10:50
you more work, man. I pity you. Anyways. Bringing
1:10:56
it back. Getting back on track. Vito Melnicki.
1:10:59
The Melnicki card. Vito Melnicki vs. Camille
1:11:04
Garzalik. I'm going to get it one of these times.
1:11:09
Jahai Tucker vs. Lorenzo Simpson. It's a good
1:11:12
little co -main. They have a heavyweight fight
1:11:15
on there, too. Damian Naiba. God, stop having
1:11:20
these wild -ass names, dude. They're all Polish.
1:11:27
Otherwise, Brandon Lee is really the only recognizable
1:11:30
name on the undercard. I don't see. There's a
1:11:33
guy named, or a person, probably a dude, named
1:11:37
Diane Butt. Butt. That's great. One of the most
1:11:46
famous people from Saskatchewan is Brent Butt.
1:11:51
He created a TV show that's pretty funny called
1:11:54
Corner Gas. Well, that's it. This is a rough
1:12:03
weekend for boxing. Even I don't want to watch
1:12:07
any of this. If you've got other plans, go do
1:12:10
that. Go do that. Brian Norman beating the shit
1:12:14
out of Jin Sasaki is going to be the highlight.
1:12:18
That's bad. I can see that one being kind of
1:12:23
fun, but I mean... I'll tell you this, out of
1:12:27
all the podcasts I've ever done for this show,
1:12:30
This is probably the most, the hardest one to
1:12:32
do. Not because of you guys or anything, it's
1:12:35
just because the freaking what happened this
1:12:38
week, dude. It just breaks my heart. It's really
1:12:42
such a big state of boxing where I, even me,
1:12:46
I'm like, man, like, how can the sport just,
1:12:49
how can we deal with this as fans, dude? How
1:12:52
are we just going to take this as the bullshit,
1:12:54
you know? It needs to stop. It definitely does
1:12:59
need to stop. But I really can't believe they
1:13:02
just, like, busted into his dressing room. That's
1:13:07
crazy. The thing is, again, we still need to
1:13:10
see more information, but if they really did
1:13:13
that, that's... Fuck. You know, it's... You lost
1:13:19
the fight. You don't got a fight afterwards.
1:13:23
Well, and I don't think anything even controversial
1:13:26
really happened in the fight. Like, there weren't
1:13:28
a lot of low blows or hitting after the bell
1:13:31
or any of that stuff. Like, as far as a boxing
1:13:36
match goes, it was pretty clean. Yeah, Albright
1:13:39
came to fight, and the fight was all right. Kelvin
1:13:43
lost. But it wasn't even the one who lost that
1:13:46
started it. Like, he had nothing to do with it.
1:13:51
That's what's even crazier, dude. It's like,
1:13:53
dude, he wasn't even involved in it yet. These
1:13:57
guys just fucking want to start shit. I mean,
1:14:02
at the same time, let me tell you this. Let's
1:14:04
say they didn't even jump him. Let's say they
1:14:06
didn't jump Albright at all. DB3 still would
1:14:10
have been fractured right here tonight, on that
1:14:12
night. Even if Huchong fought, it still would
1:14:17
have been fractured. They were screwed from the
1:14:19
start. They were honestly screwed from the start
1:14:22
when they started doing this. Well, Keyshawn
1:14:25
fucked everything up. It started with Keyshawn
1:14:28
and, man, it ended with Keyshawn. I'll tell you.
1:14:33
This is just... It's a horrible week. It's a
1:14:37
dark week of boxing, man. I'll tell you. Rough.
1:14:43
All right. Let me do... You've been listening
1:14:50

1:16:08
to be doing instead of watching this fucking
1:16:11
nonsense? I might actually pick up a ticket.
1:16:16
I might pick up a ticket for the Bride Norman
1:16:18
card. Well, that's actually okay. That's a decent
1:16:22
fight. Yeah. Yeah. Well, and there's lots of
1:16:27
stuff happening on it. It's not that far away.
1:16:30
I have no other plans. Oh, fuck. It's a Thursday,
1:16:35
though. Goddamn. Never mind. I can't even watch
1:16:40
it. I got work the next day. Why do they have
1:16:43
this shit on weekdays? This drives me nuts. I
1:16:45
don't get it. I break my heart. Well, you know
1:16:51
what else do you need to be on weekdays? Roblox.
1:16:54
Yes. I miss that. I really miss Wednesday night
1:16:57
fights. Why is there no Roblox this weekend,
1:17:01
dude? Why is there no Roblox? That's how you
1:17:07
know it's a bad week when there's no Roblox at
1:17:09
all. They have been pretty busy lately. Yeah,
1:17:16
but the week they needed to get a fight in, dude.
1:17:19
Well, the CFL season has started, so I'll probably
1:17:24
watch some CFL, watch some anime. This season
1:17:29
of Windbreaker is really good. Have you seen
1:17:34
Severance? No, I don't know what that is. We
1:17:38
should watch Severance. Okay. Beautiful show.
1:17:43
What is it? It sounds religious of some sort.
1:17:49
No, well, actually, it is. It is partially. It
1:17:52
kind of has to do with religion. It's not a religious
1:17:54
show, but if you watch it, you'll understand
1:17:55
what I mean. A lot of the guys on the server
1:17:58
watched it. Isaac really likes it as well. We
1:18:02
watched it. It's a show about, let's say, what's
1:18:06
your job right now? Me? Yeah, you said yours
1:18:09
was research, correct? Yeah, I do biological
1:18:12
research. It's basically like a team of researchers
1:18:18
that they have two different lives. Like, they
1:18:25
live one life, they live the regular day -to
1:18:29
-day life, and then they have a separate life,
1:18:30
which is the work life. But it's like totally
1:18:33
separate. They don't remember each one. Like,
1:18:37
it's two different entities. Oh, interesting.
1:18:40
It's a really good show. It's a really good show.
1:18:43
I'll give it a try. Yes? What's he from? He's
1:18:50
from Parks and Rec. He's in a couple movies.
1:18:53
Oh, is he Ben? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah,
1:18:56
I know who he is. And then he's, do you know
1:18:59
Zach Cherry? No. Okay, do you know who John Turturro
1:19:04
is? No. I know the name. John Titoro's from...
1:19:10
Just watch it. You'll love it. Okay. I'll give
1:19:15
it a try. Thank you. Well, that's it. That's
1:19:21
it for this episode of The Boxing B -Sides. Oh,
1:19:25
we'll see you on the other side of this troublesome
1:19:29
time. We'll muddle through. Oh.
