- 0:00The B -Side and Boxing. B -Side shit. B -Side.
- 0:04B -Side. And the B -Side. You got a B -Side.
- 0:06The B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. The B
- 0:10-Side thing. This is the B -Sides Boxing Podcast.
- 0:20Well, shall we do the thing? Yes. Fucking, alright.
- 0:26Boxing B -Sides. We are back, bitches, up in
- 0:30your ears. Oh, the panel's different. I still
- 0:33have the one and only Alex, but you're getting
- 0:35a double dose of Shanada this week. Yeah, you
- 0:39poor bastards. We don't have to hear little old
- 0:44Joshua talk about pay -per -view prices for an
- 0:46hour again. Which one is Joshua? Was his bad
- 0:52take the Don King's good? No, that was Alex.
- 0:58That was on purpose. Fun little bit. No, Josh's
- 1:04bad take was to pay the monsters UFC wages. Right,
- 1:09right. Lower the wages so that they fight more.
- 1:16I saw he has an article about that. Needed some
- 1:19editing, but it should come out soon. Yeah. You
- 1:24know what's not coming soon? Lomachenko's next
- 1:27fight. Motherfucker is officially, officially
- 1:31retired. He had a good run. He had a fun run.
- 1:36Lomachenko, he did. He had less fights than I
- 1:39thought he did. Yeah, it's like 18 -3 or something.
- 1:43Yeah. Loma couldn't even get 20 wins? What the
- 1:46hell? He did get 20 fights, though. There's that.
- 1:51There is that. And two of those, his hardest
- 1:56core of fans, we'll say, are not losses. Haney
- 2:00and Salido. Salido, legitimately, you can argue.
- 2:05I don't want to argue with you guys yet, but
- 2:08I mean, the Haney loss was not a loss. I think
- 2:12that was a robbery, and I might have stopped
- 2:16now, actually. I'm going to save this anger for
- 2:19later. I'm still of the mind that he's not going
- 2:23to be remembered by boxing history for very long.
- 2:28No, you're right. He didn't accomplish a whole
- 2:31lot. Like, his resume is pretty light. Whatever
- 2:34you might think about the losses, all of his
- 2:38big fights are losses. And other than that, he's
- 2:43got, what, Rocky Martini? Well, no, Gary Russell
- 2:46Jr., that was a good one. It's aged like milk,
- 2:50but Nicholas Walters, that was a good win. I
- 2:54do disagree with you on how he didn't have a
- 2:57lot of good accomplishments. He does have accomplishments.
- 2:59He has won a good amount of the titles. Nobody's
- 3:03going to remember the fighters that he won against,
- 3:05unfortunately. I do think Lomachenko is going
- 3:12to be remembered more for his techniques and
- 3:15the effect he's had on training. than on any
- 3:18particular win. More so a skill than his actual
- 3:22career. Yes. I thought Rigondel, I thought he
- 3:32was a wizard. And then I saw Lomachenko just
- 3:35make him look like a fucking fool. I was like,
- 3:38yeah, I'm done betting against this man. I do
- 3:42think that's going to be a fight that most...
- 3:44If someone's going to study boxing, that would
- 3:46be a great fight to study. In my opinion, though.
- 3:53Oh, actually, Leo, I have one more retirement
- 3:58announcement to add. Although maybe it fits better
- 4:01over on Before Dark. But Kosei Tanaka announced
- 4:04his retirement as well. Really? Yeah, he injured
- 4:09his eye. And at 29, he decided to retire. Smart
- 4:14move. So Lomachenko made me think of it because
- 4:18Tanaka holds the fastest person to win belts
- 4:25at four weights. He did it in 21 fights. He did
- 4:30it faster than Inoue by one fight as well, I
- 4:33think. Oh, shit. So he broke De La Hoya's record
- 4:38at 24 fights. I don't think anybody's going to
- 4:43remember Kosei Tanaka except, like, the DeGens,
- 4:47but he was really good. I really liked watching
- 4:50Tanaka fight. I thought he was fun. Yeah. Good.
- 4:55I also want to add another thing into Rest in
- 4:58Peace Michael Callum. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he passed
- 5:02away this week, or at the time of this recording,
- 5:06two weeks ago. The Body Snatcher. Body Snatcher.
- 5:12The OG Body Snatcher. Anything more for the retirements?
- 5:20Or the 10 count? No, I don't think so. Do you
- 5:25guys have a word to say about Mike McCown? I
- 5:29didn't really know who he was until Shannara
- 5:31brought him up, so I don't have that much to
- 5:33add. I already did one over on Boxing Before
- 5:38Dark, but if you have things to say, because
- 5:41I didn't make notes beforehand. It wasn't a very
- 5:44good eulogy. Well, I don't have much to say,
- 5:50same as you. I just wanted to point it out. He
- 5:53had a lot of great fights. Fun fighter to watch.
- 5:58Hell of a fighter. Rest in peace, Mike McKell.
- 6:03R .I .P. Alright, let's get into some recaps
- 6:13here. Wednesday, May 28th. Ohashi on DAZN. There
- 6:20are three on here to point out. Shanada, was
- 6:27Tsubasa yours? Yeah, yeah. Narai versus Hara
- 6:32was a rematch. Hara got knocked out pretty quickly
- 6:37in the first one. And the second one didn't go
- 6:41much better for him. But it was a fun fight to
- 6:43watch. A lot of action. Very little defense.
- 6:47Very Japanese -Asian level fight. Highly recommend
- 6:53it. Speaking of a lot of action, Yoshiki Takei
- 6:58and the complete lack of action. Did you watch
- 7:03this one, Alex? I saw clips of it. It was...
- 7:07I wish I didn't see those clips, honestly. If
- 7:10you saw clips, it was probably the whole fight.
- 7:12I don't think it took... It was, um... It was
- 7:17like two minutes worth of highlight, I'll tell
- 7:18you that. Well, the fight wasn't two minutes
- 7:21long, so you saw the whole fight. Yeah. Yeah,
- 7:26Takei just ran over this man. I don't know what...
- 7:30I don't know what they are saving Takai for,
- 7:34but... Isn't the rumor that Inoue... Or not Inoue,
- 7:40fucking... Tenshin Asakawa? Well, him and Tsutsumi
- 7:45did a whole bunch of... This is breaking news,
- 7:48I assume. They did a whole bunch of interviews
- 7:50last night at the fights. So I didn't understand
- 7:54any of it, but I kind of assume that they're
- 7:56going to unify next when Tsutsumi gets cleared
- 7:59by the doctors. That would be nice. Actually...
- 8:04I almost got a picture with Tsutsumi. I was too
- 8:08polite, and there was tall fucks in front of
- 8:11me, and I couldn't even do the, like, sneaky
- 8:13selfie from the side. All I got was the back
- 8:15of people's heads. But I got real close to him.
- 8:19I could have got a picture with Takei, but I
- 8:21wanted a picture with Tsutsumi, so I got a picture
- 8:23with neither of them. But... Feel bad for the
- 8:30guy, honestly. For Tsutsumi, I can't believe
- 8:34they stripped him so fast. It's pretty crazy,
- 8:38actually. I thought he was champion in recess.
- 8:41Yeah, sorry, stripped is the wrong word. I can't
- 8:43believe they put him in recess in, what was it,
- 8:46two months? They let other fuckers hold belts
- 8:50for like a year. Hardly. Yeah, like Lomachenko
- 8:57held his belt for a year without fighting. They
- 9:02hold on to the hope. But Susumi was gonna fight
- 9:07again. And soon. I don't think the recovery on
- 9:10that eye surgery is that bad. I wanna say, like,
- 9:14it wasn't like he was out, like, doing nothing.
- 9:17He got injured. You know? Yeah. And it wasn't
- 9:21a bad injury, but it was still an injury. You
- 9:24know? Yeah, well, I guess he didn't have to have
- 9:28the surgery done this time. But he got it done
- 9:32this time out of precaution. That's good. Yeah,
- 9:37that's what you should do. Yeah. Been waiting
- 9:41a couple people that we know in the sport. Shakur,
- 9:46Ryan, Andre Ward. Anyways, I don't know. I'm
- 9:57always going to cheer for Tsutsumi, but I don't
- 9:59know if he can take Takei's power. Takei's power.
- 10:05I mean, Takei hits like a truck. I don't know
- 10:09how he generates that much power in that little
- 10:11body. He's tiny. I guess. Main event. Eduardo
- 10:23Nunez. versus Masanori Rikishi. The Japanese
- 10:28hope for the 130 title. That's the one Ogawa
- 10:33used to hold, right? The IBF? Yeah. Yeah, that's
- 10:37right. I think we talked about this one already
- 10:41on Boxing Before Dark. Yeah. It was just Nunez
- 10:49was just too much. I had posited that I thought
- 10:54that Nunes could have done something to maybe
- 10:56press the issue and maybe go for a stoppage.
- 11:00But, yeah, it seemed like Rikishi was too tough
- 11:04for that. And good on him, you know? Yeah, didn't
- 11:09give up to the final bell. Yeah, even though
- 11:13he was losing, he was in it to win it the whole
- 11:15fight. You got to give him that. Yeah, he's got
- 11:19a dog in him. Yep. How do you say dog in Japanese?
- 11:26Inu. So he's got that Inu. Moving to Friday,
- 11:36May 30th. We've got two cards. One of them is
- 11:39going to be rather quick. The main event to get
- 11:44this one out of the way. Matchroom in Guadalajara.
- 11:49Khalil Coe. Rearranges Manuel Gallegos' face.
- 11:56That was rough. It was a pretty brutal beatdown.
- 12:00One -handed, too. He was pretty much just jabbing
- 12:02it the whole time. It was sharp, too. Yes. I
- 12:06have never... Sorry, go ahead. I was going to
- 12:14say that I was surprised he didn't do this in
- 12:16the first fight. I mean, he didn't change up
- 12:18his style much. You know? It was a completely
- 12:22different fight. At first. I was surprised. Genuinely.
- 12:28It wasn't like Gallegos wasn't in the fight.
- 12:30He was in the fight for sure. I don't know if
- 12:33you guys can help me figure out what did Khalil
- 12:37do better. Well, I think it's because he broke
- 12:40his nose so badly in the first round. I think
- 12:44that really messed up Gallegos' fight from then
- 12:49on. He was piling at it the whole time. I have
- 12:53never seen a jab smash a nose like that. Like,
- 12:57he broke it so bad that the blood was coming
- 12:59out of the top of his nose somehow. Off the bridge?
- 13:04Yeah. It was gross. I imagine that changed how
- 13:11Gallegos fought for the rest of the fight. Sure.
- 13:17I see what you're saying. What were you going
- 13:19to say earlier before I inevitably interrupted
- 13:21you? No, I was just going to say that jab was
- 13:24gross. They did the slow -mo when he broke his
- 13:30nose and the blood squirted out of the bridge
- 13:33of his nose. Murojan Akhmadaliev, MJ, gets a
- 13:43stoppage in eight over Luis Castillo. As I put
- 13:48it on Boxing Before Dark, wasn't all that impressed.
- 13:53I was expecting better. Because this is the guy
- 13:56that we're talking about. He's going to be sharing
- 13:58the ring with Inouye. This is already a done
- 14:00deal. And they're doing it in a few months. And
- 14:03this was not a very good outing. I expected better.
- 14:11Honestly, I could have chopped it up too. Just
- 14:12probably had a bad night. For lack of a better
- 14:15term. It's not like he lost. He did alright.
- 14:19Dominant win. Yeah, dominant win. It just took
- 14:23a little too long. Maybe you could chop that
- 14:25up to the durability of the opponent. Maybe.
- 14:31If that MJ shows up against Inouye, he's gonna
- 14:34die. We'll see what happens with MJ, but honestly,
- 14:40I hate to sound horrible here, but I kind of
- 14:45do hope the envy shows up because i do want to
- 14:48see nakatani versus anyway i think that happens
- 14:53anyways i don't think it matters if in a way
- 14:55loses you don't think it matters if anyway loses
- 14:59his title and i don't think that matters at all
- 15:02no not for the fight of that scale that that
- 15:05doesn't matter uh i'm just curious i don't know
- 15:07the the um japanese audience as much they don't
- 15:10care much about the titles not when it's Two
- 15:14guys with that big a name. I don't think so.
- 15:18Okay. Maybe. Maybe I'm wrong. But it's still
- 15:22going to sell out. People are going to come to
- 15:24watch it. I also don't think we need to worry
- 15:27about it. I don't think MJ is going to catch
- 15:30Inoue. Yeah. Well, we said the same thing about
- 15:35Cardenas. Look what happened. Never know. I said
- 15:40Cardenas was going to do better than anyone thought.
- 15:45I bet the over on the over under on that one.
- 15:51You made that money, huh? I did. It paid out
- 15:55pretty good, actually. Nice. Ms. Gambling Addict.
- 15:59We love that. Yeah, my whole five $10 bets. Cheeseburger
- 16:04bet? Pretty much. Nice, nice, nice. I think we
- 16:12were talking about, with Cardenas, we were talking
- 16:15about MJ having the same trainer, so that corner
- 16:22experience should be pretty useful, I think.
- 16:28And Inoue does make the same mistake every fucking
- 16:33time. I just... I don't know if MJ is going to
- 16:37be able to capitalize any better than anyone
- 16:39else has. If he's smart, he can. I just don't
- 16:45think MJ's that good. Yeah, if he's as good as
- 16:48I'd like to think he is. Maybe. I mean, stranger
- 16:55things have happened, but I don't see it. I don't
- 17:00think MJ's that good. I think, in a way, I'll
- 17:04pick him apart. Pretty quickly. Hope Inouye wins
- 17:11that one, though. So you can stick it to Eddie
- 17:14Hearn. Any chance to stick it to Eddie Hearn.
- 17:18Eddie Hearn's been taking some pretty serious
- 17:20L's lately. That he has. He's the British Oscar.
- 17:26Say that. That's just rude. Honestly, I... Okay,
- 17:33this might catch some flack. Might catch a lot
- 17:36of black, actually. I mean, I love Oscar the
- 17:38fighter, but the promoter, I think he's the worst
- 17:43promoter than Eddie Hearn. I think Eddie Hearn's
- 17:48a pretty good promoter. Yeah, I mean, Eddie Hearn
- 17:52is a promoter. He promotes the hell out of his
- 17:54fights compared to Oscar, dude. Yeah, he does.
- 17:56And we're going to get to this right now. I mean,
- 17:58I knew about the Khalil Cole fight a long time
- 18:01ago, but friggin'... What, we're going to talk
- 18:06about Darius Fulgham versus Beck the Bully? I
- 18:08mean, I didn't really know about it until we
- 18:10started talking about it on the pod. Yeah. That
- 18:13kind of just goes to show you the difference
- 18:15between the promoters, you know what I mean?
- 18:19Eddie Hearn is definitely louder for his fighters,
- 18:22and he's more on social media for his fighters.
- 18:25Oscar's still promoting himself a lot of the
- 18:29time. That's what a lot of his social media presence
- 18:31is, is like that clapback stuff. Like, it's funny,
- 18:34but at no point... I've watched a few of them.
- 18:38I can't say I've seen them all, but in the few
- 18:40that I've seen, he never once talks about an
- 18:43event that he has coming up. He just talks about
- 18:46himself. Yeah. Like he struck his ego, just like
- 18:50Mayweather. Yeah, he likes his ego. That's why
- 18:54a lot of ex -fighters don't make good promoters.
- 18:58Like, none of the really famous for being good
- 19:01promoters people were ever fighters. Oscar's
- 19:05the only one that really succeeded at that, and
- 19:06look how he is. We're going to talk about it
- 19:09again right now, but his promotional company's
- 19:13good. Yeah. Which we'll also get into next week
- 19:19when we talk about what he has coming up. All
- 19:23right, but let's get to the Golden Boy card here.
- 19:26Virgin Hotel. In Las Vegas. There's only two
- 19:29fights on here that I think are worth mentioning.
- 19:32Unless you two have others worth pointing out.
- 19:36But for me it was Eric Priest versus Luis Arias.
- 19:40This was a great step up for Eric Priest. And
- 19:43he handled it perfectly. It was a dominant win.
- 19:46It wasn't flashy. It wasn't like highlight reel.
- 19:50Fucking social media. Virality. Nothing like
- 19:54that. He got the job done. He did the work. He
- 19:57got the rounds in, and he got the job done. There's
- 20:00not much else to it. No, it was a good, solid
- 20:04performance, though. I actually didn't know who
- 20:07Eric Priest was. I might have watched him before,
- 20:09but I didn't remember him. I watched him in the
- 20:12Golden Boy Undercard. Yep. So I kind of forgot
- 20:14about him. Kind of one of those fighters that
- 20:17you will see him Undercard and you won't really
- 20:18remember. Yeah, you see him. He's always there,
- 20:20just never really stands out. Yeah. I don't know.
- 20:25Hopefully he... I don't know. Maybe somebody
- 20:28needs to give him a little nudge. Like, dude,
- 20:32if you want people to recognize you or remember
- 20:35you, you're going to have to start laying some
- 20:38people out. That's easier said than done, bro.
- 20:43I was literally about to say that. It's way easier
- 20:46said than done. It's like telling Shakur not
- 20:48to be boring. That's the same thing as Eric Priest.
- 20:56Don't be boring. I think he was trying to not
- 21:01be boring. He just isn't going to be KOing people
- 21:04in highlight reel stoppages. He was not as boring
- 21:09as Shakur. That is not a fair comparison. Honestly,
- 21:14at this stage, it's better to be a little more
- 21:16skillful than just mong out. You know what I
- 21:19mean? Yeah. Hone your skills a little more. You
- 21:23know what I mean? Fix whatever you need to fix
- 21:26early. Makes sense. I also wanted to point out,
- 21:31I know you said only two fights, but I know there's
- 21:33another one that I really wanted to point out.
- 21:35Joshua Edwards, the feature American Heavyweight.
- 21:39Okay. How did he do? Did you guys watch that?
- 21:43I don't recall. I got a look up his face, but
- 21:47I probably didn't watch. Yeah, he knocked the
- 21:50guy out. He's, uh... He was from the Olympics.
- 21:53We talked about this a couple of pods ago. He
- 21:57went to the 2024 Olympics. He's a switch hitter.
- 22:02He's fast. I'll tell you this. He's fast. He
- 22:04has knockout power. I think he's promising. Reminds
- 22:08me of Jared Anderson when he first started out.
- 22:13You know what I mean? Before he got boring? Oh,
- 22:21he was the very first one. I did not watch this
- 22:23fight. I think Joshua Edwards is dead. If there's
- 22:31going to be another American heavyweight champion,
- 22:33it's going to be him. For sure. No doubt about
- 22:36it. Old statement. I'll have to put him on the
- 22:41list of people to watch. I think... I know, again,
- 22:48I know it's... really, really early to say because
- 22:51we haven't really seen much of his chin. But
- 22:54you know what? It kind of... For American heavyweights,
- 22:58we don't have much, so he'll at least be the
- 23:00number one rank, at least. Okay. I see what you
- 23:03mean. We have Richard Torres and we have Deontay
- 23:06Wilder, Jarrell Miller, Jerry Anderson. That's
- 23:09dire. That is not good at all. You are calling
- 23:14this after two pro fights, though. So... Well,
- 23:18you have to watch him to understand what I'm
- 23:20saying, though. He does look very promising.
- 23:23Yeah, I'll have to check him out. He's short.
- 23:25He's 6 '3". But you know what? He's going to
- 23:29do some work in the future, I guarantee you.
- 23:32But the fact that the heavyweights are getting
- 23:34smaller, too. That's exactly what I was going
- 23:36to bring up, was something that I think it was
- 23:39Nathan said on Ultimate FN Casuals. It was that,
- 23:44or no, it was Isaac, that the era of the Titanweight.
- 23:47That shit's starting to fade away. Tyson Fury
- 23:53riding off into the fucking who knows where.
- 23:57If he'll ever come back. Yeah. He's like 6 '4".
- 24:04Usyk, I think 6 '3". Richard Torres is... The
- 24:10heavyweights stay at this size. A guy like Richard
- 24:12Torres can be competitive. But I think Fabio
- 24:16Wardley... we'll talk about later is that he's
- 24:21like the biggest at 6 '5 or something. Yeah,
- 24:27I don't know how tall he is. He doesn't seem
- 24:31super tall though. Yeah, 6 '5. He's going to
- 24:38be the tallest in the future. The era of big
- 24:42heavyweights is over, I think. I think so. Which
- 24:46is good, because those giants are fucking boring.
- 24:50They don't move. They're so slow. They say the
- 24:55bigger you are, the harder they fall. Yeah. They
- 24:58never really went up to the kill, you know? I
- 25:03see the back. I'm not gonna... Let's bring this
- 25:09back around here. Beck the Bully gets a UD over
- 25:12Darius Fulgham. How did you say it, Shannara?
- 25:17Why is Beck so fucking dumb? Yeah, he makes the
- 25:21stupidest fucking decisions I have ever seen
- 25:24in the ring. Like, he is so frustrating to watch
- 25:29to me because I want him to be good. I can see
- 25:33that he could be good if he wasn't fucking stupid.
- 25:36He has learned one lesson. Yeah. I did notice
- 25:41every time that Fulgham went into a corner, Beck
- 25:45backed off and had him come to the center of
- 25:47the ring. Never again. That Gabe knockout has
- 25:53left him so shocked. That was a good fight. It
- 26:02was fine. Like Beck getting a point deducted.
- 26:07then the knockdown yeah he's getting docked a
- 26:10point for being a fucking idiot dude he told
- 26:14you to stop holding like a thousand times what
- 26:17the hell is the matter with you and then like
- 26:20he was doing good in the first few rounds and
- 26:22in the middle rounds he started losing and then
- 26:24decided to showboat for some reason that i didn't
- 26:28understand And then, like, actually listened
- 26:31to his coaches in the last couple rounds, got
- 26:34the knockout and the decision. But, like, the
- 26:36cards were close. The knockdown, I think, sort
- 26:42of swayed the decision either way. Well, because
- 26:47he got the point deducted, they evened out. Yeah.
- 26:54Yeah, he won 114 -112 on every scorecard. So
- 26:59he won by one round. Yeah. He's so frustrating
- 27:02to watch because he just does stupid things.
- 27:06But he won. It's difficult to prognosticate what
- 27:11could be next for Beck just because he's such
- 27:14a fucking dumbass. So you want to say, oh, he
- 27:17should fight, I don't know, fucking Jermall Charlo.
- 27:21And then, like, oh, nope. You're a fucking idiot.
- 27:25And Charlo could be right for the picking, but...
- 27:28Not by you. Well, I'll tell you this. If they
- 27:32really wanted to screw Canelo over, he could
- 27:34activate his mandatory. Oh, he's a mandatory
- 27:38for which one? I think he's a mandatory now,
- 27:41right? I think the WBA? Sounds about right. Either
- 27:49mandatory or he has an interim. He's got something.
- 27:55The interim WBA is with Resendiz. Oh, no, no,
- 28:00no. We'll talk about that right now. Yeah. If
- 28:05Beck's going to fight someone next, it should
- 28:07be Plant. But we'll talk about that right now
- 28:09as well. Well, I think Plant still fights Charlo.
- 28:14I don't think anybody cares that he lost. Can
- 28:20we get into that right now? Yeah, let's fucking
- 28:22boogie. Saturday, May 31st, PBC on Prime at the
- 28:29Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. From the undercard,
- 28:33I only have two that I wanted to point out. Kermel,
- 28:37Moten. Similar to Eric Priest, but this is different.
- 28:42A little different because Kermel's a lot younger.
- 28:46Young man, get your rounds in. They're not all
- 28:51going to be flashy. social media knockdowns or
- 28:54knockouts so whatever man you got the work in
- 28:58you won handily so not much to you don't have
- 29:01to worry about it people should slow the fuck
- 29:05down like let him build himself up let him learn
- 29:12a little yeah i have to admit i didn't watch
- 29:18this one You gotta be, this is one of those,
- 29:22like, you gotta be invested in the prospect kind
- 29:24of thing. Yoeli Hernandez beats the ever -loving
- 29:31shit out of Kyron Davis. Fucking rest in potatoes,
- 29:38because you got mashed, dude. Come on, Leo. I
- 29:45thought it was good. It was good, but come on,
- 29:49bro. I really liked this fight, actually. I thought
- 29:55it was fun. But I don't really like Kyron Davis,
- 29:59so it was fun to watch him get his ass kicked.
- 30:02Fucking 10 to nothing, plus the knockdown. That's
- 30:09a fight where your corner should maybe be like,
- 30:13hey, you sure you want to keep doing this? We're
- 30:18just putting on mileage, and we are not getting
- 30:21anywhere. So, you know how BoxRec also does the
- 30:26fan scores, and they can be wildly ridiculous?
- 30:29Yeah. Even the fan scores was a clear sweep.
- 30:33Nice. Everybody agreed. Yunli's only 7 -0, so
- 30:38he's still got time to build himself up. I think
- 30:42by that time, the guard should have changed.
- 30:45Or will be in the process of changing at the
- 30:49top of middleweight. Because right now it's dead
- 30:51as shit. There's Johnny Beck and who really gives
- 30:55a shit? Who else? Carlos Adamas. Carlos Adamas,
- 30:59I guess. And then Elijah Garcia. Also boo. Ramos.
- 31:09Oh, there's the Kazik guy. I don't know how to
- 31:12say his name. Is it Johnny Beck? Yes. Okay. I
- 31:20was looking at his last name. Alim Kanali. Yeah.
- 31:25Okay. Sorry. If he was Italian, he'd be Alim
- 31:29Kanali. Leo has infected me. Really bad, actually.
- 31:37I've been saying some shit that only Leo would
- 31:39say. I'm going to tell you next week as well.
- 31:45I'm a star people. Excited to see what comes
- 31:51from Yuanli. He's kind of... Chiron's like a
- 31:55solid test. So this is a good gauge of what we
- 32:00can expect out of Yuanli. Looks like WBO's got
- 32:05him listed as number six. That's pretty high.
- 32:11That's quick. He's not going to get that title.
- 32:14Hell no. WBA has him listed as number one under
- 32:19Erislandy Lara. Cuba versus Cuba. Of course he
- 32:23is. Don't make that fight. Yeah, that's PBC in
- 32:28-house. Of course. PBC in -house, Cuba versus
- 32:31Cuba. Give it to a young guy. Pass the torch.
- 32:35Yep, exactly what I was thinking. That's easy.
- 32:39Easy work. What, 87 fights in? I mean, he could
- 32:44maybe win it, but I don't know. That seems rushed.
- 32:47Yeah, it is. But Lara is also fucking ancient.
- 32:53But he's Cuban ancient, which is weird. Like,
- 32:59sometimes they just pull youth out of their ass
- 33:03somehow. Yeah, being a Cuban anything means nothing.
- 33:09You could either be 10 years older than you say
- 33:12you are or you're going to continue fighting
- 33:16like you're 10 years younger than you are. Far
- 33:18longer than you should. Yeah, Cuban ages are
- 33:22random. It's fucking weird. Become boring in
- 33:25the first half of your career and then a power
- 33:28puncher the next half. That's true. Speaking
- 33:32of fucking weird. Jamal Charlo gets the doctor
- 33:39stoppage over Tommy LaManna, Cornflake, the dude
- 33:44who got knocked down three times throughout the
- 33:47course of the fight and still showboated. That
- 33:52was so weird. It was fucking strange. He won
- 33:55the fight for me. He won the story of the night
- 33:58for that reason. Cornflake won. Just because
- 34:03he just... Plowing on Jamal and Charlo, because
- 34:05Charlo should have gotten him out a lot earlier.
- 34:08Charlo looked like shit. Oh, he looked bad, dude.
- 34:12He looked bad. In my opinion, at least. I was
- 34:15on the copium. I was like, yeah, he doesn't look
- 34:19that bad. He's just rusty, because he's been
- 34:22out of the ring for so long. I said that at first,
- 34:25in the beginning of the... When I first watched
- 34:27the fight, and then I rewatched it, I was like,
- 34:29no, you look bad. Like, really bad. It's not
- 34:32the same guy. Not the same Charlo we knew. Not
- 34:36even the same Charlo against Benavidez. That's
- 34:40a low bar to get over and he still managed to
- 34:44fucking trip on it. I really think Charlo's done.
- 34:49At least he won this fight. At least he won the
- 34:51fight, dude. Some people on boxers don't know
- 34:55how to do that. Some boxers who don't know how
- 35:07to win when they're supposed to because they're
- 35:11setting up a big money fight with their rival
- 35:15in the co -main. Caleb Plant drops the fucking
- 35:19ball. They gotta stop. They gotta stop with these
- 35:25setup cards, man. Just make the fucking fights.
- 35:29Every time they even mention the main fight in
- 35:32the co -main, it goes to shit. It always goes
- 35:35to shit. And we'll talk about that next week.
- 35:37We'll talk about it next week, but it always
- 35:40goes to shit. Ryan. Fucking Plant. Anthony Joshua,
- 35:45dude. They don't know how to... They gotta fucking
- 35:49step up. They gotta step it up. Resendez looked
- 35:55good, though. I was about to say, let's give
- 35:57Resendez his flowers, because he dominated the
- 36:00fight. Like, Plant opened up strong, yeah. Got
- 36:04the first four pretty clean. After that, it was
- 36:10just the Resende show. Completely one -sided.
- 36:14Are we going to talk about the fucking Sutherland
- 36:18scorecard? Because this was a split decision.
- 36:23I know. So bad. David Sutherland gave Caleb Plant
- 36:29the last three rounds. That he 100 % fucking
- 36:33lost. Absolutely lost them. He tried to paint
- 36:37them off. Yeah. You can tell when they turn in
- 36:41these bogus fucking cards. That's just crazy.
- 36:47And it's always fucking David Sutherland too.
- 36:50It's either David Sutherland or Tim Cheatham.
- 36:52Yep. 100%. Tim Cheatham be named Tim Cheatham.
- 36:58He's the cheap pig. I would never have him be
- 37:02a referee in boxing, dude. Just purely on his
- 37:05name alone. Tim Cheatham. The big three robbers
- 37:10are David Sutherland, Tim Cheatham, and then
- 37:13what was the other one? Weisfeld? Steve Weisfeld.
- 37:16Steve Weisfeld. And they get to work every fucking
- 37:19big fight. Oh, yeah. We've talked about this
- 37:23before, Leo, but we need new judges. These guys
- 37:26are fucking ancient. Yep. They're losing their
- 37:30fucking marbles. Yeah, they're... I swear to
- 37:34God, half of them can't see across the fucking
- 37:37ring they're so old. That's right. I don't get
- 37:39why they don't talk to the judges about why the
- 37:42score of the rounds is, you know... I don't either.
- 37:47I do not get it. They should do that. I don't
- 37:51know why they haven't done that. They should
- 37:52have to defend their scores. Exactly. I mean,
- 37:56like... And it's worse. Well, and referees get
- 38:02interviewed after every major sport event, mostly,
- 38:05don't they? Like, I don't watch that many sports.
- 38:07I watch hockey. But they'll ask referees questions
- 38:10all the time. I'm pretty sure they ask boxing
- 38:14referees as well. Yeah. Like, I don't get it.
- 38:21I don't get why the judges never have to... Answer
- 38:25for fucking anything. I mean, to be honest, this
- 38:28isn't the worst card I've ever seen, but it's
- 38:31pretty fucking terrible. Yeah. No, no, it's bad.
- 38:35It's bad. Those three rounds going to plant make
- 38:38no sense. Let's bring it back to Resendiz, because
- 38:43he's got options, I think. He holds an interim
- 38:48title. And I think right now, this is the perfect
- 38:54time for him to secure a big fight. Just because
- 38:57the iron is hot. He came in, got the big upset.
- 39:01Now's the time to try to sign somebody else that's,
- 39:05I don't know, big name. This is 168, right? Yes.
- 39:13So that is the one that Beck is the mandatory
- 39:16underneath. If Canelo's not going to fight him.
- 39:21Beck's a decent name. Yeah. Not terrible. Resendiz.
- 39:25Resendiz Beck. Not bad. That could be a bit of
- 39:29a war, actually. That might be fun. I mean, Beck
- 39:32the Bully's a fun fighter to watch, but he's
- 39:34a mom. He's fucking stupid. You have an aggressive
- 39:38Mexican fighter versus an aggressive Uzbek? Uzbek,
- 39:43yeah. An aggressive Uzbek fighter? That's gangbusters
- 39:46right there. Pacheco's ranked in there. Diego
- 39:54Pacheco. If he wasn't busy, Hamza sure ass. I
- 40:04think Beck's probably the best one to fight.
- 40:07Yeah, because I don't think Canelo's going to
- 40:11give him a shot. No. Even a rematch with Caleb
- 40:15Plant? I don't know. I don't think it goes any
- 40:19different. Oh, no. I don't know. I'm just saying
- 40:23probably just to, you know... Shut up the haters.
- 40:26Yeah, because I've seen a lot of people say that,
- 40:29like, Steel Plant was his gas when he was injured.
- 40:32You know what I mean? Oh, my ass. Fucking copium.
- 40:36I don't know why people are saying something
- 40:37about our injury. I didn't hear anything about
- 40:39that, but... I still think Plant's gonna fight
- 40:43Charlo. I don't think it matters that Plant lost.
- 40:45Yeah, I agree with that. They're still going
- 40:48to do it. Charlo also looked like shit, so why
- 40:51not? I guess. What about William School? No.
- 40:59That's bait, Leo. And you know it. 8 -3 -3 -5
- 41:04-8 -9 -7 -6 -3 -7. Why is Resendiz vs. William
- 41:07School the best fight to make at 168? That does
- 41:10not include the title holder. No, why is it the
- 41:13worst? Resendiz would do a better job cutting
- 41:16off the ring. He would make Canelo look bad.
- 41:21I mean, if you really wanted to, like, I guess,
- 41:25make Resendiz a bigger name somehow, you can
- 41:28make him fight. Wouldn't it be cool? Yeah, if
- 41:33you were trying to invest in him. I'm trying
- 41:35to, like... Help Leo's case out here just to
- 41:39be silly, but it's hurting my soul. Yeah, well,
- 41:43no worries. I just like throwing that one out
- 41:46because it's fun. It's not. It's the opposite
- 41:49of fun, Leo. Leo, you're crazy, man. Yeah, well,
- 41:54what can I say? You could say that Resendez should
- 41:59fight Beck the Bully. That's what you should
- 42:01say. That is an excellent fight, and I do think
- 42:03Resendez versus Beck the Bully should happen.
- 42:05Absolutely. I think it'd be fun. I also really
- 42:09like the name Beck the Bully. It's so good. There's
- 42:13that Kazakh dude who's also named Beck. In the
- 42:16same weight class, isn't he? Yeah, Beck Normagambet.
- 42:20Cool. Beck versus Beck? Yeah. Winner keeps the
- 42:25name. Anything more? No. I think we're good.

- 47:01day. Just kidding. It's fine. In Thomastown,
- 47:07Victoria, Australia. PM events at the Q Room.
- 47:13Lucas Big Daddy Brown. Remember that name? Maybe
- 47:19you don't. If you've only been watching the last
- 47:22couple, last few years, you don't know who the
- 47:25fuck that is. But just have a look at him. He's
- 47:28a very interesting character. Both of these guys
- 47:32look like they just came out of a Russian prison.
- 47:36I know they're Australian, but... Lucas Brown
- 47:40is like fucking head to toe covered in tattoos.
- 47:44The other guy's got the three crosses where most
- 47:48people get like that teardrop under their eye.
- 47:51And his nickname is The Balkan. Wow. That's crazy.
- 47:59Well, so yeah, that's David Padovan. One of the
- 48:04main reasons I brought this one up is not just
- 48:06because Lucas Brown like throwback. He's 31 -6,
- 48:10and he's fighting David Padavan, who's 3 -0.
- 48:14That's what makes me... I need to find a way
- 48:18to watch this. Somehow, someway, I need to watch
- 48:21this. Because that's fucking absurd. Yeah, I
- 48:27do not think this is going to be a good card
- 48:29by any stretch. I don't know. It took me until
- 48:33today. I've been looking for a fight poster.
- 48:37I found one like an hour ago. Finally. Earlier?
- 48:43Yeah. Nice. I don't know who's... PM events is
- 48:48all I know. And that's just because they're on
- 48:49the tickets. That's all I got. Yeah. Amir Khan
- 48:57promotions on DAZN. Their first ever... I think
- 49:02it's their first event. It's going to be in Accra,
- 49:04Ghana. at the Bukom Boxing Arena. This is like
- 49:14Brit slop. It's an event? It is a British event
- 49:19with a whole lot of that level of fight. Yeah.
- 49:27Headline, Andrew Tabidi versus Jacob Dixon. Fun
- 49:34stuff, I know. Like I said on the other podcast,
- 49:39I'm kind of excited to see what the crowd dress
- 49:42looks like. Because Ghana has some really cool
- 49:45clothes. So I'm probably going to tune in just
- 49:49to see what the event looks like being held in
- 49:52Ghana. Should be fun. Also, just to see what
- 49:56the general crowd is like. Yeah, the vibes. Oh,
- 50:04speaking of vibes, on Saturday, June 14th, Zan
- 50:09for Promotions at the multi -use center in Hermosillo,
- 50:17Sonora. This is in Mexico. Now, I said multi
- 50:21-use. Multiple use center is what it's called.
- 50:27Translated. But in Spanish. It's El Centro. De
- 50:30usos multiples. And the acronym is C -U -M. They're
- 50:39in the multi -purpose room. They are in the c
- 50:41- We gotta keep it professional, huh? Yeah, that's
- 50:50where the censorship comes in, unfortunately.
- 50:53This is when the Patreon comes in. Yeah, actually.
- 50:56If you're curious what happened during that little
- 50:58treble break there. You can go check it out.
- 51:03So on the Zanfra card, the co -main Camila Encinas
- 51:08versus Mika Awokawa. It's an IBF trinket at Adam
- 51:14weight. Those are some tiny fucking people. Adam
- 51:18weight. Yeah. Wait, hold on. Adam weight? Is
- 51:25below minimum, aka straw weight. You have to
- 51:30be under 100 pounds. I've never heard of that
- 51:33ever in my life. I'm not even joking. This is
- 51:36the first time I've ever heard of that. It's
- 51:38a lot more common in the MMA side of things,
- 51:42like in the grappling tournaments and Muay Thai.
- 51:49It's more common because Thai people are a little
- 51:53bit smaller than average in the West. Well, I
- 51:59don't think any of the boxing belts recognize
- 52:02Adam Waite. Just IBF? Does the IBF recognize
- 52:07Adam Waite? This fight is for a secondary title
- 52:11at the Waite. Sorry, men's Adam Waite is what
- 52:16I meant. No, I don't think that any men's divisions
- 52:21recognize Adam Waite as a thing. Headlining.
- 52:29The box in the... Headlining the Zanfra card.
- 52:35Juan Francisco Estrada, one of my favorites ever,
- 52:40versus Kareem Arce. I was hoping that... I am
- 52:45picturing this being just a train wreck for...
- 52:47I was hoping it would be more, just because Estrada's
- 52:51moving up to 118, and he was already pretty small
- 52:54at 115. So just more and more of a weight disadvantage.
- 53:02Honestly, I think Estrada needs to retire soon.
- 53:06He's out that time. Yeah. He's 35. He's small.
- 53:12I love him, but I don't want him to stick around
- 53:16way too long. 49th fight. That's a lot of mileage.
- 53:23Well, what in the boxing laundry? In the boxing
- 53:28laundry... Hamper. Hamper, okay. I'll always
- 53:35say the same. Hamper. But he's like a nice shirt
- 53:41that you can't wear once it's too washed. I don't
- 53:46know. I just don't want to see Estrada stick
- 53:48around too long. I want to remember him being
- 53:50amazing. You knocked out Bam. That was his last...
- 53:55That is an accolade. It really is. First knockdown
- 53:59on Bam. Yeah, I just... I'm more cautious with
- 54:06the guys I really like. I want Estrada to leave
- 54:09before he has that one fight where everyone's
- 54:11like, what the fuck? I don't want him to be like
- 54:15Pacquiao. Well, you never know. He could win
- 54:18again. He could. You never know. Speaking of
- 54:22sticking around too long, Samson in Buenos Aires.
- 54:28Donito Donair versus Andres Campos. You might
- 54:31remember Campos when he fought Sonny Edwards
- 54:34in a really lackluster, one -sided performance.
- 54:40So I'm thinking Donair's probably going to knock
- 54:43his ass out. That might be why he's there. Because
- 54:47Donair, if he... How long has he been out? Let
- 54:53me pull up his box right here. His last fight
- 54:57was in July 2023. So almost two years. Okay,
- 55:04never mind. I'm not sure what to make of this.
- 55:08I'm going for Campos now. Yeah, Donair is definitely
- 55:14one of those guys that has stuck around too long.
- 55:17I really like Nonito Donair, but... He should
- 55:21have quit a while ago. And he can still win fights,
- 55:26but he's not going to be great again. And they're
- 55:31still chasing the dragon. Yeah. I want him to
- 55:36retire and... With dignity? Go hang out with
- 55:40his wife. I don't know. Maybe that's why he's
- 55:43fighting. Get away from her? The only 36 minutes
- 55:46that he has of respite. Last thing. Before we
- 55:51skedaddle on this one. Matchroom at the MSG Theater.
- 55:59I have only two on here that I care about, and
- 56:05I picked up four. Ernesto Mercado versus Jonathan
- 56:10Montrell. It is a fight. Yeah, I don't... have
- 56:21any opinion on this one. Alexis Barrier versus
- 56:27Ronnie Hines. I don't have an opinion on that
- 56:33one either. Barrier is Canadian, so I guess I'll
- 56:40cheer for him. And he's fighting an American.
- 56:44So I guess I'll cheer for the Canadian, even
- 56:46if he is French. That is double cheer. Wow. The
- 56:51French subtracts one, so it's just normal amounts.
- 56:58Andy Cruz versus Hironori Mishiro. Twelve round
- 57:05fight. Alright. Is that a first? I think so.
- 57:11I think it is. Let me make sure. I kind of get
- 57:16the feeling that Mishiro's just coming in to
- 57:20lose or he's being brought in so he'll lose is
- 57:24what I should say. I'm sure he'll try his best.
- 57:27They always do that. Yeah, I'm just saying. I
- 57:31don't think he's really a big threat to Andy
- 57:35Cruz. Well, we'll see what happens with that.
- 57:41This is his first 12 rounder. And IBF super lightweight
- 57:50champion Richardson Hitchens versus third rated
- 57:54George Kambosos. He's still doing it. How? Why?
- 58:04Make it stop. Some way he's still doing it. I
- 58:09do not care about this fight at all. I'm watching
- 58:14it. I am watching it. Didn't say I wouldn't watch
- 58:18it. I said I don't care. I would another way.
- 58:21It's gonna be boring. Isn't it? Yeah, I think
- 58:27so. Hitchens does not lend himself to exciting
- 58:30fights. Cambosos talks a lot of shit that's usually
- 58:34pretty cringey. And he doesn't back it up very
- 58:39well. So, what are we doing here, guys? Right,
- 58:44do I want... Like, I want Richardson Hitchens
- 58:49to lose, but I don't want George Kambosos to
- 58:52win. I do want George Kambosos to win, actually.
- 58:58Why? Just to stick it to the man. To trigger
- 59:03the lips. What man? Kambosos. It would be more
- 59:11funny if Kambosos won. It would actually be pretty
- 59:14fucking hilarious if he won. So I'm going to
- 59:17go with that. It's not a good reason to pick
- 59:21someone to win. I would very much not be upset
- 59:24if George Kambosos lost. I don't know. I think
- 59:30he's going to lose, but I'm going to be rooting
- 59:32for him. Yeah. Richard in itches is not a fun
- 59:36fighter. He is not. Let's just keep the fucking
- 59:40the funny train going. Yeah, fuck yeah. Win a
- 59:45title at another division. Why not? Why don't
- 59:49you just go ahead and become undisputed at this
- 59:51division and then move up and win another title.
- 59:55I guess Tiofimo rematch. I was just going to
- 59:58say Kambosis wins another belt and we have the
- 1:00:01third Lopez fight. It would have to be a third
- 1:00:08Haney fight. But second... He only fought Lopez.
- 1:00:12He only fought Tio Fimo once. Oh, he didn't rematch
- 1:00:17Tio Fimo? Tio Fimo ducked him. What a fucking
- 1:00:23loser. Then yeah, I want Cambosis to win a belt
- 1:00:26and I want the Tio rematch. Oh, that would be...
- 1:00:29Make it so. And you know what? Then you have
- 1:00:34Alberto Pueo unify with Gary Antoine Russell,
- 1:00:39and the winner of that fight is going to fight
- 1:00:42the winner of Teofimo and George Gambosos. Yeah,
- 1:00:47let's do it. And only then will we have an undisputed
- 1:00:49fighter at 140 once again. George Gambosos Jr.
- 1:00:55You know what? I do want George Gambosos to win.
- 1:00:58Yeah. I've talked myself into wanting Gambosos
- 1:01:02to win. Fuck, I gotta cheer for him now. Is this
- 1:01:05boxing brain rot at its finest? Yes, absolutely.
- 1:01:08That is absolutely what this is. Do it for the
- 1:01:12memes, Cambo. The memes. That's why we're...
- 1:01:16Yeah, that's really what I'm here for. Richard
- 1:01:21Hitchens fought Liam Parrow last, right? That's
- 1:01:24what we got the title? Yeah. So, Liam Parrow
- 1:01:28fought Matias. Matias fought... I don't even
- 1:01:32know who we got it from. I forgot. I have no
- 1:01:37idea. Honestly, honestly, dude, there's a...
- 1:01:39That bell is cursed. I think it... I mean, Ken
- 1:01:43Moses has a good shot. Just because that bell
- 1:01:45is so cursed. You got it from Jeremias Ponce.
- 1:01:50Yeah. 2023. Don't know who that is. It's a vacant.
- 1:01:54That was the same night as David Benavidez in
- 1:01:56Andrade, right? I do not have that kind of memory,
- 1:02:01guys. I'm being silly. It doesn't even matter.
- 1:02:05No, he was the headline. The brain and eyes consumed
- 1:02:08me. No, I'm saying it was the same night. Oh,
- 1:02:11the same night. Anything more for Kambosis? No.
- 1:02:17As we cheer him on to victory. Goddamn. Alright.
