- 0:21Alright. Well, well, well, well, well. Boxing
- 0:29B -Sides back up in your ears. Joined by the
- 0:33homie Josh. What up? Sorry, I don't know what
- 0:40was happening. This guy just got a text that
- 0:43he's not able to crash out right now, but he
- 0:46brought a crash out text. I'm about to crash
- 0:47out. And the one and only Saul. So guys, back
- 0:54for another week. Happy to be here. Holy shit,
- 1:00let's get right into the fucking news. This feels
- 1:03odd. Usyk wants to fight Deontay Wilder. It feels
- 1:07like this is quite a few years too late. I think
- 1:11give Usyk one bomb fight. He deserves a break
- 1:18fight. If you look at Usyk's body of work, it
- 1:21really is only super easy fight. Since he came
- 1:25into the title picture was Chaz Witherspoon.
- 1:32I got to say, too, if Usyk fights Wilder, I mean,
- 1:36it beats the trifecta. He beat the guys. He beat
- 1:40the three best guys of his era. Yeah, exactly.
- 1:43So, I mean, no one's going to say he never fought
- 1:44Wilder. Well, he fought Wilder. He beat him.
- 1:48If he beats him. I think he's going to beat him,
- 1:49but if he beats him. As much as I love Usyk,
- 1:53though, I might have to root for Wilder. Here's
- 1:57Usyk's run at World Titles fights. He beat Krzysztof
- 2:01Kloacki, Michu Nu, Hunter, Michael Hunter, Marco
- 2:06Huck, Maris Britis, Murat Gassiev, Tony Bellew,
- 2:10then there's the Chaz Witherspoon fight, and
- 2:14then immediately jumped into Derek Chisora, AJ,
- 2:17AJ, Dubois, Fury, Fury, Dubois. That's a whole
- 2:23thing to run. Let the guy have a bum fight. Complete
- 2:28the set. Yeah, they've had a soft fight in years.
- 2:31Especially because it's not like he's just picking
- 2:33out some idiot without a name. At least Wilder
- 2:36has a name. Obviously not the same Wilder, but
- 2:42it's still Wilder for the name -wise. One thing
- 2:45I will say I'm not happy about is obviously Wilder
- 2:49never deserved it. Yeah. But, I mean, who the
- 2:54fuck else is there? They fucking take short again.
- 2:58Bobby Wardley. Bobby Wardley, but it sounds like
- 3:04they didn't want to put him with Usain. When
- 3:05you're thinking about, like, what fights you
- 3:07can take right now when you're looking at your
- 3:09last two or three fights, because that's what
- 3:11it is, one of them you can go and actually, like,
- 3:16have an easy camp and make some easy money. Because,
- 3:20like, one of his last two fights is going to
- 3:21be against the Tom or Wardley. It's got to be
- 3:25either one. Or fucking the Watch Trilogy. Yeah,
- 3:28like, it's going to be someone who actually deserves
- 3:30it, or, like, is actually a threat. So, like,
- 3:33why not, man? Like, why risk it against the slot
- 3:36machine that is Fabio Wardley? When you could
- 3:41just, uh... The slot machine that constantly
- 3:45hits triple sevens? Yeah, like, it's a rigged
- 3:48slot machine. Like, at least, like, Wilder's,
- 3:51like, an actual, like, he's a busted down slot
- 3:54machine. But, like, come on. This is a guy who's
- 3:58only hit triple sevens. So it is what it is.
- 4:09Well, that's it for the news. Didn't really have
- 4:13anything else. Let's get into the fucking recaps
- 4:16here. First things first, the Tasman card in
- 4:23Australia. I only picked up three off of this
- 4:27one. Tara Moana stops Herman Garcia in one. Jason
- 4:35Maloney gets a stoppage in four over Who Cares?
- 4:42Who Cares versus Who Cares? N 'Jaya Pataya, KO8.
- 4:47Fucking big KO. Yeah, fucking killed him, dude.
- 4:53Kunkara. Kunkara. Why do we keep getting these
- 5:02fucking bomb fights when... Cruiserweight's kind
- 5:06of dead. I think he's just waiting to see who
- 5:14wins from that Badu Jack fight. I doubt it. If
- 5:20not, he just can't get a good fight at cruiserweight.
- 5:24Frankly, he should just move up. I'm going to
- 5:27be so real. You think Gil Patash should move
- 5:29up? Well, he's just wasting time at cruiserweight.
- 5:34At least at heavyweight, the end goal for a cruiserweight
- 5:38is always heavyweight. Move up to Bridger. Bridger's
- 5:45funny as fuck. Go fight out. Just move up the
- 5:51heavyweight. It's really like... He weighs in
- 5:54right at 198. I'm guessing he actually... And
- 5:58he's a big boy. He'll be a small heavyweight,
- 6:02but it's better than languishing in Australia
- 6:05fighting nobody of note. Do you think his power
- 6:10is going to carry up the heavyweight? Oh, yeah.
- 6:13It's not... Especially with how scary his knockouts
- 6:17are. He's definitely going to have some on his
- 6:20pop. He has bumps. Not bumps, but guys that aren't
- 6:24at the same level. Yeah, I think it'll... He'll
- 6:29have a better chance of getting something worthwhile
- 6:31at heavyweight. Especially now that the division's
- 6:34starting to open up. Considering that the era's
- 6:37over, pretty much. Maybe. I think his power will
- 6:46get better if he moves up. Yeah. If he's not
- 6:48cutting anymore. Yeah, actually. We'll see. We'll
- 6:53see. Maybe it does. But I don't think he's going
- 6:56to go up to heavyweight. I think he wants to
- 6:58stay at cruiserweight. If he wanted to go up
- 6:59to heavyweight, he probably would have done that
- 7:01move by now. Yeah, he would have already. Yeah.
- 7:04Maybe in the future, but I think he might start
- 7:06some unfinished business at cruiserweight. All
- 7:12right. Let's get to the meat of the dish. PBC
- 7:16on Prime at the Frostbank Center in San Antonio.
- 7:21Oh. Isaac Lucero gets a stoppage in eight. Frank
- 7:29Martin ends Uncle Rancis. Thank God. That was
- 7:37such a good knockout, though. Norman got his
- 7:41chain stolen for knockout of the year. Might
- 7:45have, but it was against Rance's Bartholomew.
- 7:47Jin Sasaki's not great competition, really, either.
- 7:51Yeah, that's what I mean. At least, say what
- 7:53you will about Rance's, this guy is such a negative
- 7:58guy. He's one of those negative guys that you
- 8:00stopping him is actually a pretty big achievement.
- 8:04Is that right, though? Especially not the, like...
- 8:07Yeah, especially, like, Gary Antoine Russell,
- 8:11like, whatever debatable ref stoppage. Like,
- 8:14no, here you just killed him. No, that's... Yeah,
- 8:17that was pretty... That was a scary knockout.
- 8:19I'm not trying to take away the knockout from...
- 8:21No, but I understand, like, Bartholomew's been,
- 8:25like, one of those guys who's stuck around forever
- 8:27by stinking the place out against these guys.
- 8:31I do wish that the fight kind of went on a little
- 8:33longer. I know it sounds silly, but it's Martin's
- 8:36first fight back in a long time. New division.
- 8:40And it's at 142. And it's against Reza Bartholomew.
- 8:43I understand, yeah, it's a tune -up, but a tune
- 8:46-up, you still need some rounds, you know? I
- 8:48think you're underrating Bartholomew as an opponent
- 8:53because of how horrible he is to watch. Am I
- 8:56really underrating Bartholomew? I think I'm properly
- 8:59rating him. He's a solid... Like, stopping...
- 9:02Like, frying Bartholomew like that at 140 is
- 9:08pretty good. That itself is a pretty commendable
- 9:11achievement, but it's not like he knocked out
- 9:13someone. I know. And just the fact that the knockout
- 9:17was so... The knockout was just, like, that clean
- 9:19as fuck. It was a clean knockout. That's why
- 9:22easy KO of the year. It just comes so... It's
- 9:26just so clean. My thing with Frank Martin is
- 9:32I'm glad he got the knockout, but against races,
- 9:35Bartholomew, that's still not the best. He's
- 9:37not going to get an opportunity at Shakur or
- 9:42Tao. Well, no, but he can get a Pitbull. He can
- 9:46even get a Gary Antoine Russell. He can get a
- 9:49Gary Antoine Russell. Never know what could happen.
- 9:52I was going to say, Cruz, we're going to get
- 9:53into this. Cruz is about to be one of the more
- 9:57manufactured guys I've ever seen. Yeah. But I'll
- 10:02say this. One thing I will mention is that to
- 10:06your point about Rancid Bartholomew, I want to
- 10:08support your point, he did almost knock out Jose
- 10:11Ramirez. Yeah. I'm not saying he's some all -time
- 10:16great, but I'm saying knocking him out that brutally
- 10:19is always a welcome achievement. Yeah. Yeah,
- 10:25100%. I agree with you. Jesus Ramos, UD over
- 10:34Shane Mosley Jr. I have mixed feelings about
- 10:38this. Good to see Ramos back in the win column.
- 10:41But at the same time, it felt like he struggled
- 10:44against a pretty mid guy. And it had some trepidation
- 10:49there. One thing about Ramos is that his power
- 10:54wasn't working for him this time around. And
- 10:57since it wasn't working, he had no answers. All
- 11:00he did was spam the same button. And that was
- 11:03honestly concerning to watch. Honestly, Mosley
- 11:11turned up pretty sharp, honestly. Yeah, all respect
- 11:16to him. He had heart that night. He had heart?
- 11:20And he showed up sharper than I've seen him in
- 11:22a while. He gave a damn good performance against
- 11:25Ramos to the point, I think he almost, not almost
- 11:28that bad, Ramos. but he had Ramos hurt at one
- 11:31point. I feel like it's an outlier performance
- 11:34from Mosley where, like, this is definitely better
- 11:37than Mosley's ever looked, but he's still Shane
- 11:39Mosley Jr. Yeah. So, like, you... It's a very...
- 11:45It's a rare case, but you did catch Mosley on,
- 11:48like, a career night. I feel like they tried
- 11:51to set it up to get a knockout for Jesus Ramos.
- 11:54Yeah. For a guy like Shane Mosley Jr., that's...
- 11:56I know it's not a... big name, but it's still,
- 11:59it's mostly Junior. He's been, like, a solid
- 12:02campaigner around middleweight for a bit. Like,
- 12:06he's not great, but, like, you know. He's bumped
- 12:11up with that name. Yeah. But, honestly, I was
- 12:15watching Ramos, and honestly, I think Ramos is
- 12:19good, but he needs to be tweaked a little bit.
- 12:21He needs a little pep in his step, you know?
- 12:24That was really concerning. It could have been
- 12:27Ramos and Virgil earlier if Lubin didn't fucking
- 12:31rob him, bro. Yeah. I don't know. Ramos' career
- 12:39can still go. It's just, how old is he? Oh, he's
- 12:44young. He's like 24. Yeah, that's what I mean.
- 12:46He's still a bit of a work in progress. It's
- 12:48nothing. Yeah, which is good. It's just that
- 12:50it is concerning to see that early on right now.
- 12:52So hopefully they tweak him enough. We'll see.
- 12:57Depends on his trainer and how he develops. But
- 12:59I think, again, Mosley giving him a bit of a
- 13:02scare, a real scare, not just sitting on the
- 13:04ropes and getting beaten on, is healthy. Yeah,
- 13:09that's true. Very healthy for his career to get
- 13:13a bit of a scare from a journeyman having a career
- 13:15night. He's got that interim title now. You think
- 13:19they're lighting him up for Adonis? Ooh. That's
- 13:23an intriguing fight, actually. Yeah, I'd watch
- 13:26that. Adamas isn't that good. That would probably
- 13:30be like a co -main fight, honestly. Yeah, that's
- 13:33a good fight, actually. That's a good fight to
- 13:34make. Yeah, Benavidez, main. He's almost coming.
- 13:41Is Benavidez still with PBC? I doubt it. What?
- 13:44Is Benavidez still with PBC? No, yeah. I'm pretty
- 13:48sure he's still with Samson, right? He's still
- 13:49with Samson. Okay, then, yeah. Absolutely, Lenny.
- 13:54Get Ramos Adamas going on. Oh, man. Other than
- 14:04Adamas, what else can he do? Laura. I think they
- 14:12should have put him with Laura this time around.
- 14:14I don't know why they didn't. That was easy cash
- 14:18or money for Laura. And we'll talk about it right
- 14:21now, but that would have been a perfect fight.
- 14:24Honestly, it could have been better than Janet
- 14:26Beck -Lara. It would have been really great.
- 14:28Lara looks so fucking old. They could have put
- 14:32Johan Gonzalez with Shane Rose Jr. and then...
- 14:35Robos Lara? Yeah. Yeah, I feel like... You know
- 14:41what? Yeah, he was already ranked, actually.
- 14:43Well, you'd have to get the WBA, because it's
- 14:46the WBA that... The WBA would have to rank Ramos
- 14:59when he has the interim for the WBC. He's still
- 15:06ranked on the right or no? Once you hold the
- 15:09trinket for one sanctioning body, it's tougher
- 15:12to get a shot at another sanctioning body. You
- 15:14generally make your way up through one path.
- 15:18It's why you see you guys hold rankings, but
- 15:21not trinkets. When you get in that WBZ interim
- 15:27title, that's a death. That's a death. What's
- 15:31the word? It's not good. Whatever. It's not good.
- 15:35It's where you get stuck in the mud. You're just
- 15:38going to be spinning your wheels. Ramos is a
- 15:40guy PBC is trying to push and Adamas is on his
- 15:44way out. Yeah, like Adamas, just age -wise, you
- 15:47would rather have Ramos over Adamas. Adamas is
- 15:5431, but he's also like... He hasn't looked the
- 16:03most solid. He's a perfectly good champion, but
- 16:08he's clearly vulnerable. Well, so is Ramos, though.
- 16:13Yeah. But, again, Ramos is, like, five years
- 16:17younger, and you still have time to work with
- 16:20Ramos. I think, honestly, because it's Yohan
- 16:28Lee Hernandez that's in the... He's either going
- 16:31the IBF or the WBA route. I'm not sure. Probably
- 16:37the IBF. Middleweight's kind of gridlocked right
- 16:41now, especially now that Janabek popped and...
- 16:44Those belts are going to be in fucking limbo
- 16:46because they're probably not going to strip him.
- 16:50WBO is not fucking stripping him. Let's be real.
- 16:53Maybe IBF. IBF don't fuck around. IBF doesn't
- 16:56fuck around. They're going to strip him as soon
- 16:58as that B sample comes back. But it's still just
- 17:04annoying because instead of having one champ,
- 17:07it's like one champ with three belt. Like, you
- 17:10know, it's gridlocked. Because now everyone has
- 17:13to wait for Janabek's doping to have a consequence.
- 17:21What about Shane Mosley? Because he turned in
- 17:24a pretty damn good performance. Like, for Shane
- 17:27Mosley, that was pretty good. Oh, he's probably
- 17:30going to have another fight. Another, like, meaningful
- 17:34fight that he'll probably lose. But he's going
- 17:38to keep getting these, like, mid -level... fights
- 17:41as a step -up. Frankly, for me, having watched
- 17:49Shane Mosley Jr. on all those zone cards in the
- 17:51past, that was a career night for sure. He was
- 17:55a Golden Boy fighter for a while, right? Yeah.
- 17:57He just came up short. Nothing wrong with that.
- 18:00You need guys to both be stern tests, but also
- 18:05they're not great. They're going to keep you
- 18:08on your wits. That's it. Yeah, like you need
- 18:10guys to actually test and push and expose your
- 18:14younger boys. But it's not like he's never going
- 18:16to win a world title. That's not the goal for
- 18:19Mosley at this point, really. Oh, man. Aris Landilara.
- 18:31Tsk, tsk, tsk. Oh, he's so fucking old. Over
- 18:34Johan Gonzalez. Two knockdowns. Open the fight
- 18:41with it and close the fight with it. He's so
- 18:44fucking old, man. Yeah, he'd looked his age and
- 18:51Johan was hot garbage. Jesus Christ. Yeah, I
- 18:57stopped watching. Lara's showing everyone why
- 19:00you should hate him and why you should love him
- 19:04at the same fight. Literally the Lara cycle.
- 19:09Like, oh, fuck Lars. Oh, shit. Looks great. Oh,
- 19:12shit. He looks great. Oh, my God. And then, like,
- 19:15right as you're nodding off in the 11th or 12th
- 19:19round. Oh, my God. He's great. Yeah. Crazy. It's
- 19:23like fucking breadcrumb in my ass. It's like
- 19:27one of those chili peppers that, like, it tastes
- 19:29great when you bite into it. Then you have it
- 19:31in your mouth and it's horrible, horrible. Like,
- 19:33it tastes like fucking dog shit. And then once
- 19:36you swallow it, the aftertaste is pretty good.
- 19:40Please it's like a very nasty chili pepper if
- 19:43I had to describe the taste like the flavor,
- 19:45you know what I mean? So what what happens with
- 20:05Laura now You cash him out Against who, though?
- 20:13To anyone. Anyone. It can be Adamas. It can be
- 20:18Ramos. It can be Crawford. You find a guy and
- 20:21you cash him out next year because he's not fighting
- 20:25for another year. And that might be perfect for
- 20:28Crawford because he's not going to fight for
- 20:29another year. So you might just fucking fight
- 20:31Crawford. Yeah, you might as well. Yeah, sorry.
- 20:33Lara Crawford is going to be a hilarious fight
- 20:35because there's no doubt in my mind Crawford
- 20:37beats him. But it would be hilarious if Lara
- 20:40drops him early. No, that would be fucked up.
- 20:44That would be hilarious. You'd be like, oh my
- 20:49god, Lara's going to win. And then while Lara's
- 20:51cruising, Crawford just beats the shit out of
- 20:53him. Can we talk about **** again? I don't want
- 20:55to hear the bullshit about Crawford getting knocked
- 20:57out. I said knocked down. It's going to be the
- 21:00Lara cycle. It would be hilarious. Lara catches
- 21:06him early, and then Crawford just beats on him
- 21:09for the rest of the fight. And then we can all
- 21:13laugh and make our gifs about how Crawford's
- 21:15a chinless bum who loses to pensioners. Yeah,
- 21:20I don't really have a whole lot. Just Erislandy
- 21:24Lara. It's about time to get out of here, man.
- 21:29What are you doing? I know you had the... The
- 21:33Janet Beck thing, that's not your fault, but...
- 21:35Come on, man. It could have met him out early.
- 21:39Yes, absolutely. That's the type of fight you
- 21:43finish quickly. Talking about Dan? Talking about
- 21:50finishing quickly? Oh, I think... I don't know
- 21:52why... Oh, my God, bro. What is it? What is it
- 21:57with you today? I don't know. Leo brought it
- 22:00up. He was talking about finish early. Oh, my
- 22:03God, bro. I swear that's not happening. Hey,
- 22:06we got to extend it out. This one's kind of light.
- 22:09This one's not kind of light. We have the fucking
- 22:11cruise thing. Oh, shit. That's right. Still got
- 22:15two fights. You're wasting valuable rant time.
- 22:19And there's valuable rant time with discussions.
- 22:22Hey, I'm making Patreon time. I'm giving the
- 22:26Patreon. You're not making Patreon time. You're
- 22:29making losing sponsor time. Sponsor time? Oh,
- 22:32yeah. Speaking of sponsors. Oh, my God. Robin,
- 22:36will you take us back if we get rid of him? I
- 22:40will leave it if you give me free ramen. If ramen
- 22:42comes back. Oh, my God. Oh, Shacky Foster beat
- 22:49Stephen Fulton. A lot of WBC fucking bull jive
- 22:54going on here. Fulton misses weight and then
- 23:01they change the fight to be for the vacant interim
- 23:04135 title you know what at least they're making
- 23:10up a title it's not like they're just taking
- 23:13the belt away from someone and giving it to them
- 23:15they're just making up a belt why What the...
- 23:19It was obvious they were trying to fucking...
- 23:21It's not that bad. It's not as bad. Making up
- 23:24a shitty trinket like participation trophy isn't
- 23:27that bad. That's an interim title. It was ultimately
- 23:30to Foster's complete benefit considering Fatboy
- 23:33Fulton showed up and looked very stoppable. That
- 23:39was horrible. How the fuck do you miss weight
- 23:42going up? What the... What kind of fucking...
- 23:45What the hell is wrong with him? Use code Fulton
- 23:48on DoorDash, by the way. I saw that. That's funny.
- 23:51Like, fuck, man. Can Fulton give us a ramen back?
- 23:54Like, he probably ate all the fucking ramen.
- 23:56I blame Isaac, bro. I'm insane. That's crazy,
- 24:02dude. That Fulton missed the weight like that.
- 24:04Missed the weight by two pounds. Doesn't even
- 24:06try to, like, make weight the second time. He
- 24:10made Oshaki Foster look like a fucking pound
- 24:12-for -pound god. Yeah, after that, like, shows
- 24:15up fucking rubbing his belly, like, he just,
- 24:18fuck, dude, I've had it. Fuck the Tims, dude.
- 24:21Go fucking put on some red shoes. Like, I saw
- 24:26some questions, where does he go from here? Retirement,
- 24:28bro. I don't want to see this shit. No, I mean,
- 24:32again, Fulham, as much as we're going to shit
- 24:34on him right now, again, he was a great fighter,
- 24:37but what the fuck happened? He had a good little
- 24:40resurgence, but, like, this is, like, peak, like,
- 24:44you're phoning it in. If you can't even be bothered
- 24:47to show up on weight, you're phoning it in. Like,
- 24:49your heart is not in it, clearly. I hope the
- 24:52PBC drops him after this, dude. That's actually
- 24:54the most – because how are you going to miss
- 24:56weight and then get an interim title shot, which,
- 25:00again, that's – you guys say it's a trinket.
- 25:02That's not really just a trinket. That's an interim
- 25:05belt where if Shakur goes up and stays at 140,
- 25:08they're going to keep the belt. Yeah, good pro
- 25:10Jackie Foster. Yeah, maybe good pro Jackie Foster,
- 25:14but 4 -1. I thought I saw a poster that the vacant
- 25:19interim 135 was going to be on the line for some
- 25:25other card. Kind of like a nothing card. Yeah,
- 25:28it was supposed to. The WBC does these little
- 25:30eliminator tournaments that they enjoy doing,
- 25:33so. They like, this is why they fucking, people
- 25:37don't like this shit. This is the exact reason
- 25:39why. Honestly, it's all on Fulton. We don't get
- 25:45into debates about trinkets and whose rankings
- 25:47belong where if Fulton just makes weight. Yeah,
- 25:50yeah. If he shows up to work because it is his
- 25:56job and part of that job is being on weight,
- 26:02there's no interim world title, whatever. It's
- 26:04just a fight for the WBC Superfeather title.
- 26:07Yeah. And if he lost, so be it. I mean, yeah,
- 26:09you lost, but to a heavier fighter. Okay. Yeah,
- 26:13whatever, man. Come on. This is brutal. No, this
- 26:17is bad for his career. I don't want to see him.
- 26:20That's bad. Like, let's say what you will. Like,
- 26:25I'll say, like, Ryan Garcia totally blew weight
- 26:27with Haney. But, you know, at least he looked,
- 26:31like, he didn't look lethargic in there. Well,
- 26:34the thing is, Ryan Garcia also wasn't moving
- 26:36up in weight to fight. You know what I mean?
- 26:39He was weight -draining himself. Fucking Fulham
- 26:42was moving up. That's crazy. Fulham moved up
- 26:44and still fucked it. Yeah, yeah. I mean, how
- 26:47many guys do you know move up in weight and then
- 26:49miss weight? Yeah. In recent memory. I don't
- 26:53remember any of that shit. This past year, definitely
- 26:55not. Well, Oshaki Foster. You gotta give what?
- 27:04I was probably gonna say exactly what we're gonna
- 27:06say right now. Oh, Shacky Foster, what? Does
- 27:11he stay at 35? Like, because this interim thing,
- 27:16eh. He has the full title at 130. Fuck no, he
- 27:21should stay at super featherweight. He's going
- 27:25to have better competition there for himself
- 27:26that he can compete with. It's going to be better.
- 27:29He's not going to be waiting in line since he,
- 27:31again, the belts matter. He's going to be, he's
- 27:35the one. in charge, basically. Yeah, why vacate
- 27:40your belt to become interim belt? Why wait in
- 27:42line when you already hit the front? There's
- 27:43for sure going to be guys moving up just by the
- 27:47fact that Inoue's making his way up, Nakatani's
- 27:52making his way up. These guys are going to get
- 27:54beaten and move up, a la Fulton. So he's going
- 27:58to get an influx of guys. Hats off to Shaggy
- 28:02Foster, though. He surprised a lot of people.
- 28:05Oh, yeah, he looked really good. He looked really
- 28:07good. Like, Fulton looking bad and Foster looking
- 28:09good are things that can coexist. Yeah. Fulton
- 28:13went southpaw, and I was like, damn. I don't
- 28:17remember this, Oshaki Foster. Fuck, what happened?
- 28:21So, hats off to him. Respect him. You know, hopefully,
- 28:25whoever wins against Nava Nunez, maybe he fights
- 28:28him. You know, I see Oshaki Foster. can keep
- 28:34it up like this, I think he can do well in the
- 28:36division. But he needs to keep it up. This was
- 28:46actually like an entertaining fight from Foster.
- 28:49Yeah. I thought it was going to be better, but
- 28:53it was surprising. Yeah. Fulton was not the best.
- 28:59No, but Foster... A worse guy still makes Fulton
- 29:03look competent in there. Like, Foster did not
- 29:08let Fulton into the fight. I will say this, that,
- 29:11honestly, if Fulton came to actually fight, I
- 29:15think this would have been a really good fight.
- 29:17Oh, absolutely. That first round was really good.
- 29:20I was like, oh, shit. I was like, oh, they're
- 29:22already going at it? Damn. And then after that,
- 29:25it was like, Fulton was just fucking doing a
- 29:28menace round on Stoneyer. He was surviving the
- 29:32whole night. Sad. But you know what? You had
- 29:35your time, champ. Where does he go in the boxing
- 29:40laundry theory? I like Stephen Fulton. This was
- 29:50a really bad look. But I don't know. I want to
- 29:55believe that he can come back from this. Otherwise,
- 30:03he's in the hamper. Oh, yeah. It's getting hard.
- 30:09Yeah, missing weight. Not even trying to cut
- 30:14the last few ounces or whatever you can. Maybe
- 30:21he put on the weight bad, like he just put on
- 30:22dirty weight. Could be. I don't know. Let's ask
- 30:28Isaac. Too many cheese sticks. Steve Falcon,
- 30:32Isaac, bro. Oh, shit. Speaking of Isaac, Isak
- 30:40Cruz, Lamont Roach. What the hell? Who wants
- 30:48to go first? I feel like I'm going to have the
- 30:51least lengthy rant. Least lengthy rant? Lamont
- 30:56Roach looked pretty good. Not, like... but he
- 31:00looked pretty good. Isak looked completely incompetent
- 31:04in there, and he looked oddly lethargic and tired
- 31:07as the fight went on. As for the result, the
- 31:12Texas State Commission has always been kind of
- 31:14a joke, honestly. So it's not even that, like,
- 31:18Cruz is some kind of protected asset. That argument
- 31:21comes with his matchmaking, but... It's just
- 31:26like, yeah, the judging's kind of always been
- 31:27incompetent in Texas. And again, this is the
- 31:30same group of people that continue letting Lawrence
- 31:32Cole referee fights. Like, I think you just have
- 31:36to say they suck and hope. It's not like Roach's
- 31:41profile. Roach arguably gets a larger profile
- 31:44out of these controversial results. It's just
- 31:47that, like, yeah, it sucks for the record. You
- 31:52guys, what do you guys have to say? Leah, you
- 31:57want to go first? You had said something earlier
- 32:00that I really found intriguing, which was that
- 32:04he's like a manufactured, the most manufactured
- 32:07product. Yeah, he's a very protected, I said
- 32:11he's a protected product due to the matchmaking
- 32:14that he's had. Okay. Because like, realistically,
- 32:19like, even Ryo, Ryo was... There's a guy that,
- 32:24like, you probably expected him to get smoked
- 32:27by Cruz. Like, they've been giving him guys that
- 32:31he can beat. And, like, knock over. And, like,
- 32:38I think Roach, even Roach, Roach is a... You
- 32:42drag Roach up another weight class. And let's,
- 32:48like... I'll say that Roach is certainly surprised.
- 32:52but not impressed with his performances. I feel
- 32:57like Roach is... The impression Roach gives is
- 33:00a guy who has such low expectations. You have
- 33:02such low expectations of him that he ends up
- 33:05blowing you away performing the way he does.
- 33:10I had high expectations, especially after the
- 33:12tank fight. No, but I'm saying going into the
- 33:15tank fight, like this year. Oh, yeah, okay. yeah
- 33:18like he's blown you away but like really you
- 33:20look at him i'm like he probably could have beaten
- 33:22uh cruz more convincingly he had a defensive
- 33:26lapse with the knockdown that ended up costing
- 33:30him the fight as unjust as that was but there
- 33:33was the point deduction that kind of balanced
- 33:35it yeah yeah but but i mean like Yeah, like,
- 33:40Saul's gonna have a rant about the PPC protecting
- 33:44an asset, but I feel like it's just in the matchmaking
- 33:47itself that Cruz gets protected. Because, like,
- 33:53yeah, Roach totally could punch with him, but
- 33:56there's no moment where you're like, oh shit,
- 33:58Cruz is getting exposed and beaten up by this
- 34:00guy. Not that you haven't seen before. Yeah,
- 34:05like, it's nothing like... Like, and a lot of
- 34:09his matchmaking are guys that, like, they're
- 34:13older guys that probably could have been a threat
- 34:14when they were younger. Guys who, like, they
- 34:18have no threat, period. Like, I feel like Roley,
- 34:24Roley was always, like, tailor -made to lose
- 34:27to Cruz. He's very, and he's popular. You gotta
- 34:33remember, he's a popular Mexican action fighter.
- 34:35Well, that's the perception of him, at least.
- 34:38That's what they're trying to push. The perception
- 34:40of Cruz is that he's this action fighter. So
- 34:44it's not in how they cook decisions or whatever,
- 34:47because be real, this was just an incompetent
- 34:49decision by an infamously incompetent commission.
- 34:54But I think he's a very protected asset. They're
- 34:58not going to put him with Roach again. He was
- 35:02supposed to knock over Roach. Maybe set up the
- 35:06tank rematch? Yeah, they're probably going to
- 35:08set up a tank rematch and Roach... Roach is going
- 35:11to get an opportunity because, again, I will
- 35:14say that if he just got the clean win over Cruz,
- 35:17a lot less people would be saying Roach's name
- 35:19than being outraged over a bad decision. It's
- 35:25a... Like, all publicity is good publicity type
- 35:30thing, especially when you don't lose. Yeah,
- 35:33he didn't lose a fight. He definitely didn't
- 35:35lose a fight. That's the main thing. When you
- 35:37don't lose on paper on the result, it's a lot
- 35:42easier to cry outrage and have him stay in those
- 35:44rankings for something bigger. But that's me
- 35:50having a more balanced take. I hate the Texas
- 35:52Commission more than I throw blame on anyone
- 35:55else. Let her rip, Saul. I'm fiending right now.
- 36:04There's a couple things with this fight that
- 36:05I had problems with from the start. Putting Isaac
- 36:08Cruz and Lamar Roach on pay -per -view already
- 36:10is not a good decision, I think. Obviously, the
- 36:15PPC is feeding for money right now, just like
- 36:19all the other promotional companies going against
- 36:20the Saudi government. And seeing Pippo Cruz turn
- 36:26into Devin Haney last night was a sight to watch.
- 36:29Not only did he dance, but he fucking used his
- 36:33jab. I think that that itself made Josh believe
- 36:36in God again. But, I mean, come on, dude. That
- 36:40fight was a great fight. Don't get me wrong.
- 36:44And I would have been fine with a cross the board
- 36:46draw. But 116 -111 is fucking bullshit. Or 115
- 36:52-111. That must mean that without the point deduction,
- 36:56Cruz would have won the fight. 8 -4. Yeah, 8
- 37:01-4. That's fucking... Bullshit, you know? Not
- 37:05to put a plug in the rant, but I have brought
- 37:10it up on the podcast before. That is inherently
- 37:12a flaw with how judging functions from their
- 37:15seats. Again, two of the three judges, as you
- 37:20can see, can see Cruz in a round, can see Cruz
- 37:23hitting nothing but air or gloves. Roach is a
- 37:28huge catch and shoot guy. But if you have Roach's
- 37:32back, and all you see is Cruz landing. Like,
- 37:36the perception is him landing. He's not actually
- 37:37landing. Roach is catching and shooting. Yeah.
- 37:40But if all you see is Cruz landing, you're probably
- 37:42going to score the round for Cruz. And particularly,
- 37:45this is a flaw I find with Texas fights. You
- 37:48know how usually there's, like, a personal space
- 37:50bubble around the judges, like at a Vegas event?
- 37:53Yeah. Like, they don't get in their face. They
- 37:56just have the disadvantage of seeing the fight
- 37:58from a bad angle. Texas tends to crowd these
- 38:02judges, so there's a lot, like, your eye's gonna
- 38:04wander a little bit. And, like, just the distractions
- 38:08pile up in addition to the bad point of view,
- 38:11as well as the fact that Texas clearly has less
- 38:14stringent standards for judging, that, like,
- 38:17you get shitty decisions. Well, one thing I will
- 38:22say, too, is that a lot of people in the crowd
- 38:24thought Pitbull won. Sean Tatello, a guy that
- 38:27I admire, I respect him a lot. He said that he
- 38:31thought Pitbull won. Which, I mean, if you're
- 38:34in the crowd, obviously, that might be different.
- 38:36Pitbull was throwing more. And sometimes it looks
- 38:39like a lands, but obviously not. That's the catch
- 38:42-and -shoot style that Roach has. And again,
- 38:46if you're seeing it in person from an angle,
- 38:48if all you see is the fist getting to the target,
- 38:53that's going to be a scoring shot for Cruz compared
- 38:58to... With the reality, from the view we get,
- 39:01where the camera can clearly catch from a preferential
- 39:04angle and good lighting, Roach catching the shot
- 39:07and shooting back. Yeah. But what I will say,
- 39:12though, is it's fucking fishy to me that... How
- 39:15many guys, besides Mario Barrios, of course,
- 39:18which this is also playing to the topic, how
- 39:21many guys, you know, get back -to -back fucking
- 39:24majority draws against guys that... are from
- 39:27the same promotional company, you know? Are you...
- 39:30I feel some weird shit going on, dude. Because...
- 39:33Why the fuck do you fight Tank, get a majority
- 39:37draw? Okay, whatever. You come back, you fight
- 39:39Pitbull. Last four rounds for Pitbull? Really?
- 39:42Even if you're fucking blind, you can see that
- 39:45fucking Lamar Roach could have won at least one
- 39:48of those rounds. That is clear as day robbery.
- 39:51Okay? That knockdown was equaled out. Yeah, shitty
- 39:55decision. And I think, honestly, if you just
- 39:58gave it a clear across -the -board draw, everybody
- 40:00would have been fine. Nothing would have been
- 40:02wrong. But a fucking majority draw? That's some
- 40:05bullshit. It's just how you arrive at those decisions
- 40:08that, like, obviously it's a horrid decision,
- 40:12but I'm saying, like, the judge is looking at
- 40:14it from the point of view of round by round.
- 40:17Yeah. Not by the total punches landed. Yeah,
- 40:20so I mean, like, if you end up, like, absolutely,
- 40:22like, you can, it can be a close, because it
- 40:24was pretty close when you look at it from, like,
- 40:26the perception of, like, who is landing scoring
- 40:28shots ringside. So, like, it's like, okay, it
- 40:34was a close round, but I'm shading it to Cruz.
- 40:36Close round, I'm shading it to Cruz. Close round,
- 40:38I'm shading it to Cruz. That's three rounds that
- 40:40go to Cruz now. And, like, the thing is that,
- 40:44like, it can happen in the other direction, too,
- 40:46where, like, And you see it happen a lot, and,
- 40:49like, that was a close fight. Why was it so lopsided?
- 40:53Well, because, like, it was a close fight, but
- 40:56one guy shaded, like, eight rounds. Yeah. So,
- 41:01from the judge's point of view. So I feel like,
- 41:04again, the discussion is both Texas needs to
- 41:07do a better job on training and certifying officials,
- 41:10just generally. And, again... overhauling judging
- 41:16doesn't mean more judges or AI judges. It just
- 41:19means give judges a neutral view that actually
- 41:23represents the fight and not just you get the
- 41:25backs of the fighters for two -thirds of the
- 41:27damn thing and you're probably guessing. Oh,
- 41:30yeah. I agree, I agree. But honestly, this whole
- 41:34year, honestly, with PBC cards is kind of odd
- 41:37because I always did that three main events in
- 41:40one year you get a majority draw. You know? Sometimes
- 41:45it's just the luck of the draw. Like, you look
- 41:47at probabilities. That's crazy, though. Two times
- 41:49with the same fighter as well. Like, if you do
- 41:51probability, if you run probability, you know,
- 41:56like, when you shuffle a playlist and you don't
- 41:57get any repeats, that's actually it being manipulated
- 42:00because you're more likely to get repeats of
- 42:03the same occurrence. And the same thing happens
- 42:07here. Like, sometimes we get, like, we've gone
- 42:10how many years with, like, minimal draws in these
- 42:12cards? Of course there's going to be a bad year.
- 42:16But two times with the same fighter. You know
- 42:20what I mean? That's fishy to me. That's just
- 42:22how Roach fights, though. He's a catch -and -shoot
- 42:24fighter, which means the judges are going to
- 42:26see those shots landing when they don't. Honestly,
- 42:31this fight was a lot harder to score than fucking
- 42:33Tank and Roach. I found it the opposite. Like,
- 42:36Tank, like... Like, this one was pretty clear.
- 42:42Like, Roach was making his work pretty clear.
- 42:45If you were looking at his angle, where, like,
- 42:47Tank... Like, with a Tank fight, it really depends
- 42:50on what your judging criteria is. Yeah. Because
- 42:54the thing is that, say what you will about Roach,
- 42:56like, Roach and everything, Tank didn't give
- 42:58him much to catch and shoot off of, and, like,
- 43:00it was a pretty cagey fight compared to the Cruz
- 43:03fight, where... You either saw Roach catching
- 43:05and shooting, or you saw Roach getting touched
- 43:07up. Yeah. So, like, again, it's an easy fight
- 43:14to score on what you saw. But it's still... In
- 43:20a just world, there'd be a rematch not in Texas.
- 43:22And in an even juster world, the judges would
- 43:26be in a booth where they got a video feed. A
- 43:28neutral video feed. So they can actually see
- 43:31the fight without the ropes and the officials
- 43:33and the backs of fighters blocking them. We should
- 43:37put that in the Oli Reform Act. Yeah. No, they're
- 43:42going to put AI judges. Training data Mike Tyson
- 43:48highlights. So now Isak Cruz can win unanimous
- 43:50decisions instead of draws. I think I agree with
- 43:55what Josh said about Isaac Cruz being manufactured
- 44:00to an extent because the PBC, they need a fighter
- 44:04that will bring him money. And Isaac Cruz, if
- 44:06he was a more skilled fighter like Canelo, he
- 44:11can do that. And he can possibly become a star
- 44:14with the Mexican community, which he's not a
- 44:17star. People weren't buying me to go grill for
- 44:20this fight, at least from what I've seen. But
- 44:24unfortunately, that's just the way the cookie
- 44:27crumbles, you know? It is what it is. Lamont
- 44:31Roach gets another majority draw. I hope it doesn't
- 44:33discourage him. I hope it, if anything, it encourages
- 44:35him more to come back and fight even harder.
- 44:38Yeah. Because he got fucked. Lamont got fucked
- 44:40royally this year. Oh, yeah. He's probably the
- 44:43only guy to ever win fighter of the year off
- 44:45of two draws. He might be, yeah. He genuinely
- 44:49might be, man. I don't know. We'll see what happens
- 44:56with him. What do you think goes next, Mayor?
- 44:59I was going to ask. 140. Who has the WBC belt?
- 45:08Surreal Matias. This is the interim. If you really
- 45:13want to be mean to Cruz and finally get rid of
- 45:16him, put him up against Matias, dude. That would
- 45:20be a fun -ass fuck fight. It would be really
- 45:22fun. He's getting decimated against Matias. That
- 45:27would be fun as hell. He might just knock out
- 45:31Matias. You never know. Sure. Dude, Cruz has
- 45:36a fucking rock -solid head. TKO by broken hands.
- 45:41Yeah, you never fucking know. It's crazy right
- 45:43now, that dude. Big -ass fucking... Dude, he
- 45:47really put up the Pitbull name, fucking wagging
- 45:50his tail and sticking out his tongue. Barked
- 45:53for Lamar Roach. Honestly, I think as fun as
- 46:00he is and as good as he is for selling tickets,
- 46:02I think it's... The same way I rag on BritBox
- 46:08manufactured guys, where I want you gone, I want
- 46:12Cruz gone in a similar way. No, I think Cruz
- 46:16is a perfect undercard fighter. Yeah, like, at
- 46:19some point, it's not... Yeah, but the thing is
- 46:21that, like, how many of his recent fights have
- 46:23been, like, actually fun? Fierro was... I was
- 46:27gonna say Angel Fierro was a good one. Fierro?
- 46:29Yeah. Yeah. But his last one was... Ryo, he looked
- 46:34like shit. Cabrera, he looked like shit. Salcido
- 46:38Gomez, he looked like shit. He looked like shit
- 46:40with Rode. Like, it's... It's guys that fight
- 46:42like him. He has a very specific style that he
- 46:46meshes with. I'd rather just not run the gamble
- 46:52of having to watch him underperform every other
- 46:54fight because the guy doesn't fight exactly tailored
- 46:57to getting knocked out. I'm not going to be a
- 47:03hypocrite and support him because he's not British.
- 47:06He's very much the manufactured mold of some
- 47:11of these British guys. Yeah, they look good when
- 47:14they're against guys made for them. Not as fun
- 47:18when they're against guys who can actually box.
- 47:23Honestly, if they want to, they could put him
- 47:25with GAR. But that's a decimation. Honestly,
- 47:29I feel like if they put Lamont... Oh yeah, 100%.
- 47:32If they put Lamont with GAR, that would be an
- 47:36interesting fight. That's what I mean. I'm saying
- 47:38Lamont will end up with a better opportunity.
- 47:41But maybe not a bigger one. I want to see Lamont
- 47:46in a tank fight, but I really don't think it's
- 47:47possible if tanks didn't even come back. I don't
- 47:50even think tanks are going to come back unless
- 47:51it's against straight trash. He's not going to
- 47:57want to fuck with that cookie again. But he might
- 48:00fucking fight. He could fight GAR. Get another
- 48:03majority to draw. Alberto Puello. Yeah, that's
- 48:12a good one too. Puyo for Roach is good. That's
- 48:15good. Yeah. They'll probably give it to Puyo.
- 48:22For some fucking reason. Majority draw. No, just
- 48:26a Puyo decision. They like doing that with Puyo.

- 51:16Well, in the previews, we have on the 18th, ProBox.
- 51:24It's back, baby. Um, I'm looking at... That should
- 51:38be fun. And headlining Ramon Cardenas' back versus
- 51:52Eric Robles. I only really know who... I only
- 51:59know a handful, like one or two of these guys,
- 52:01but pro box to it. It's going to be good matchups.
- 52:08We interrupt our program to bring you this important
- 52:10message. So, some of the stuff that we got to
- 52:15cut in here. First, just to get it out of the
- 52:18way, there's a Taken card on December 17th. It's
- 52:24a Wednesday. It'll be, like, on the West Coast.
- 52:27It'll be, like, at 1 in the morning. Something
- 52:29like that. Where is it in the outline? It's in
- 52:36the bottom half. Bottom half, yeah, taken. Okay,
- 52:39yeah, yeah. So we talk about it more at length
- 52:42on Boxing Before Dark, but really the only two
- 52:45I'm tracking here are Anthony Olaskwaga vs. Taku
- 52:49Kuwahara and Seiya Tsutsumi vs. Nonito Donair.
- 52:55Jesus Christ, Donair is still fighting. 43 years
- 52:58old, man. Yeah, no. Tsutsumi should absolutely
- 53:05watch him. Yeah, you'd think. Shinada's betting
- 53:09that Donair's left hook is still an active missile.
- 53:15Donair getting a meme knockout would be so bad
- 53:17for this division. Would be pretty funny, though.
- 53:22It would be so funny. Shinada loves Tsutsumi.
- 53:26Oh, Shinada would die, too. She'd probably kill
- 53:30herself in the park. There's another title fight
- 53:35down the bill. Kiyosuke Takami versus Rene Santiago.
- 53:40The WBO light flyweight title on the line. Light
- 53:43flyweight, yeah. Ola Squaga's the flyweight champ
- 53:47for WBO. And the Tsutsumi Donair fight is for
- 53:52a WBA interim bantamweight, I think. Yes. Kind
- 54:01of still crazy that Donair's getting these title
- 54:04shots, but, you know. Name value, I guess. Yeah.
- 54:08Yeah, it's Donair. It's Donair. The other card
- 54:14is No Limit Boxing in Australia at the TikTok
- 54:20Entertainment Center. Gross. They just banned
- 54:24social media for teenagers, too. Yeah, under
- 54:26-16s. Fucking hilarious. I don't know. Let's
- 54:35see. On this one, Kevin Mazudier, or Cohen Mazudier,
- 54:39excuse me. He's always a fun scrap, but he's
- 54:43not anything great. Just tracking the top two.
- 54:48Sam Goodman versus Tyler Blizzard. Man, fuck
- 54:53Sam Goodman. Yeah, I should not deny your team,
- 54:57Blizzard. Yeah, no, fuck Sam Goodman. He wasted
- 55:01like a year of Inoue's prime. Yep. Not pleased
- 55:05with him. But he does have a lot of experience,
- 55:08and Tyler Blizzard is, yeah, not so much. And,
- 55:13yeah, 27, 10 -0 with four KOs. Rough. Rough.
- 55:22And in the main, Tim Zhu, he's back at middleweight.
- 55:26Versus Anthony Velasquez. Cuban. Cuban Tim Zoo.
- 55:32Yeah. Timoteo. Oh, Jesus. Yeah, it's going to
- 55:41be interesting to see what the Cuban coach put
- 55:44into his toolkit. And how his power carries up
- 55:49at middleweight. Because he was a big puncher.
- 55:52Yeah. He was a big -ish puncher at 154. We'll
- 55:59see how it goes. Hopefully we see Zubzak come
- 56:03back in some way, shape, or form. The middleweight
- 56:07stinks. Middleweight stinks. If he's not completely
- 56:09ruined, then it's not unrealistic that he'll
- 56:14pick up a belt. Bye -bye, Laura. Oh, yeah, going
- 56:19up the PBC route. Or he could scoop up whatever
- 56:22vacancies Janabek leaves over. For a second,
- 56:26I could say he's going to kill Kurt Scooby. What?
- 56:34You're thinking of like Emma Williams if you're
- 56:36talking about 160 guys. Yeah. I'm pretty sure
- 56:41they're saying that Emma Williams is going to
- 56:42fight Adamis next. Yeah. It's an interesting
- 56:46fight. Interesting matchmaking. Yeah. I would
- 56:50have never expected that, but, you know. Oh,
- 56:53it is what it is. Yeah. Ammo's with Matchroom?
- 56:57Mm -hmm. Yeah, makes sense that they got him
- 57:01into a title shot. Honestly, it'll probably be
- 57:06see how this comeback goes, then Zarafa for another
- 57:09easy touch, and then see who's open for a big
- 57:12fight. Oh, that's what I forgot about Zarafa.
- 57:17That's right. It's going to be like Zarafa's
- 57:18there, he's ranked. I don't know. It's not. Yeah,
- 57:23two easy touches and then see what they can make
- 57:26of it. Yeah. But that one's also on Wednesday,
- 57:31December 17th. Probably starting around the same
- 57:35time as the Japanese card. Looking at the length
- 57:41of them, we should be able to get through the
- 57:45Japanese card before Tim Zhu comes out. Yes.
- 57:49That timing should work out decently. But the
- 57:54main dish that we did not get to in the main,
- 57:59when we recorded the main part, Friday, December
- 58:0219th, MVP on Netflix in Miami. Jake Paul versus
- 58:09Anthony Joshua. What's it about? What's it about?
- 58:16By the board of, what do they call it? Florida?
- 58:19What do they call it? Florida State Athletic
- 58:22Commission? I don't know. Yeah, the ones who
- 58:25will let anything fly. If we don't see Jake Paul
- 58:31knocked out by round two, the fight is rigged.
- 58:34I don't know, man. Oh, my God. If we're getting
- 58:37into rigged fights with Jake Paul, none of them
- 58:40are rigged. His matchmaking is just that. His
- 58:42management is just that good. Okay, let me ask
- 58:45you this. How would AJ knock out someone like
- 58:49Francis Ngannou, who is at least a legitimate
- 58:51fighter? I mean, I'm not saying... Stationary
- 58:54target, I will say. Jake Paul is not that good
- 58:59of a fighter. I mean, he's a fighter. I would
- 59:01say now he's proven himself as some legitimate.
- 59:04However, I would argue that Francis Ngannou was
- 59:07a little more legitimate of a fighter. A lot
- 59:09more of a legitimate fighter. I think in regards
- 59:12to boxing, they end up being about the same.
- 59:17Ngannou's one of the watched MMA guys that Jake
- 59:20would fight. I don't know about that, but I'll
- 59:24say this, that Jake Paul, if he's not out by
- 59:27round two, then that's going to be winning for
- 59:32him in my book. I think it would be probably
- 59:35the funniest thing in history if AJ got taken
- 59:38out. Oh, that would be so fucking sad. It'd be
- 59:43so funny. I'll be right there in the chat with
- 59:46Jake Paul Mafia. Fucking Jake Paul Mafia. That
- 59:52gif is going triple platinum. Jake Paul versus
- 59:57Tyson Fury, and then he beats Tyson Fury by 2
- 59:59-6. And then that's the fight of the century.
- 1:00:01We finally get undisputed at one heavyweight
- 1:00:06if he fights more than me. That's like a Hall
- 1:00:09of Fame run. I just, oh my god. See, that's the
- 1:00:15thing. Like, I want humor. This fight's rigged.
- 1:00:19This fight's rigged. So, I'm like, no, that's
- 1:00:20just the matchmaking being that good. Okay, you
- 1:00:24told me that AJ, a guy who's fucking been in
- 1:00:27the Olympics, knocked out bigger, better guys
- 1:00:29than Jake Paul. Do you like it or not? The Olympics
- 1:00:33in, like, quotations, man. Like, I just saw Frazier
- 1:00:37Clark lose to a guy worse than Jake Paul. I'm
- 1:00:40insane. The other week. I'm insane. Frazier Clark
- 1:00:43literally, like, saved, like, Olympic pedigree,
- 1:00:45whatever. lost to a guy worse than Jake Paul
- 1:00:48the other week. Come on. Like, I'm just saying,
- 1:00:51it's ridiculous, but, like, it's, like, like,
- 1:00:55the matchmaking, we'll be looking at it in hindsight,
- 1:00:58being like, oh, AJ just soaked a really bad knockout,
- 1:01:02was out of the ring, had the cut weight for the
- 1:01:05first time ever, even though it's basically the
- 1:01:07same as taking a shit. Like, hindsight can easily
- 1:01:10vindicate this if you think about it. Like, we
- 1:01:13can't... We can't be all in on AJ's going to
- 1:01:17kill this guy because we're going to look really
- 1:01:20stupid. We got to think about all the factors
- 1:01:25that would apply in hindsight. Well, I'm thinking
- 1:01:28that it's not going to be. I think it's going
- 1:01:31to go to decision. I got a feeling. There's no
- 1:01:32way that's going to be by knockout. There's got
- 1:01:35to be some sort of clause in there. Oh, my God,
- 1:01:38bro. This is the tinfoil. Nah, come on, dude.
- 1:01:42How the fuck do you not knock out Jake Paul?
- 1:01:44How the fuck do you not knock him out? Well,
- 1:01:47it's easy. It's the same way you take seven rounds
- 1:01:50to take out Robert Hellenius coming off a fight.
- 1:01:54Coming off a bad knockout. Come on, dude. Jake
- 1:01:57Paul barely knows the fundamentals. So do half
- 1:02:03of the heavyweights in the world. Don't humor
- 1:02:10me, man. Come on. You're going to tell me. I'm
- 1:02:15so in for the funniest possible result happening.
- 1:02:20I mean, I'll be funny as fuck to see AJ get knocked
- 1:02:23out. Like, I'm so in on the funniest things happening.
- 1:02:28Especially because I'm like, you know what? I'm
- 1:02:30fine with Jake Paul keeping his interest in boxing
- 1:02:34for what he does for the women's side of the
- 1:02:36sport as well. I gotta give Jake Paul for taking
- 1:02:40the fight in the first place, you know? That's...
- 1:02:41Whether you like it or not, it's ballsy. It's
- 1:02:44a tough task, for sure. Yeah. Honestly, I think
- 1:02:48as much shit as I've ever given to Jake Paul,
- 1:02:50as fucking my whole life that I've known Jake
- 1:02:54Paul, I gotta respect him for this. Because he's
- 1:02:58putting his life on the line, no matter what,
- 1:03:00you know? Again, 10 -4 or higher, it can still
- 1:03:02be rigged, but he's still putting it on the line.
- 1:03:05We always forget that this is... a life and death
- 1:03:07situation at times, you know? And you can fucking,
- 1:03:11you never know, you know? So I got to give it
- 1:03:13to him. I'm just going to say, like, I'm like,
- 1:03:18it's obvious, the result is so obvious on paper.
- 1:03:23But, like, I feel like if it ends up being, like,
- 1:03:26complete sideways, out of nowhere, like, AJ looks
- 1:03:31like shit and then dies. Like, in hindsight,
- 1:03:34it's going to be a lot of coke when, like, all
- 1:03:39the factors that would contribute to AJ being
- 1:03:41shot as shit and looking bad enough are there.
- 1:03:50I mean, certain things happen, you know. Tommy
- 1:03:53Morrison fought, what was that guy's name? Michael
- 1:03:55Bent. Not Michael Bent. Tommy Morrison fought
- 1:03:58a guy that was in the crowd. Yeah, but that guy,
- 1:04:04like, that was a carry job for Morrison. Yeah,
- 1:04:08but I'm just saying, strange things happen. Yeah.
- 1:04:10No, I'm saying, like, there's the perfect mix
- 1:04:14of AJ could just not take him seriously. He's
- 1:04:18older. How old is he again? 35, I think. 36.
- 1:04:26He's 36. He's taken several beatings, particularly
- 1:04:30his most recent one, and he always looks worse
- 1:04:32off long layoffs as well throughout his career.
- 1:04:38He's been in wars. He's taken beatings. He just
- 1:04:41took, like, that knockout was really bad for
- 1:04:44a fragile... Let's fucking entertain this for
- 1:04:48just one second, okay? If Jake Paul wins, let's
- 1:04:52say by knockout or decision, whatever, he wins.
- 1:04:55That ranks him in the heavyweight division, no
- 1:04:57doubt about it. Oh, I cry laughing, though. Like,
- 1:04:59first I pissed myself. Side -splitting hilarious.
- 1:05:03I'd honestly go kiss Dan Raphael if that happens,
- 1:05:06dude. I'm not gonna lie. If that happens, I'm
- 1:05:09going crazy. Oh, my God, bro. Like, I'm gonna
- 1:05:13say, like, in hindsight, like, should Jake Paul
- 1:05:15win or even look competitive? In hindsight, we're
- 1:05:19gonna be looking at a lot of these factors. Like,
- 1:05:21Joshua... Hasn't fought in a while. He's taken
- 1:05:26some really bad beatings. He's older. He's never
- 1:05:29been that super durable. It's the Florida Commission,
- 1:05:37which means we might get a fun little incompetence
- 1:05:42show from judges and referees. Right, yeah. AJ's
- 1:05:47never fought. He fought once outside of the UK.
- 1:05:51But, like, Florida weather is different than
- 1:05:53the U .K. No, the human energy shouldn't bother
- 1:05:57him because U .K. is pretty humid. Yeah. Let's
- 1:06:01say Jake Paul wins. Who would he fight next?
- 1:06:04Or Lee? I don't know. I think he just retires.
- 1:06:09He retires on top like that. That would be too
- 1:06:11funny. Like, you can't top the hilarity at that
- 1:06:14point. I mean, he would make a shit ton more
- 1:06:17money if he won and then fought someone like
- 1:06:19Tyson Fury. That would make a shit ton of money,
- 1:06:22way more than this fight. That would be comical,
- 1:06:26though. Tyson Fury, 6 '9", standing in front
- 1:06:29of Jake Paul. 6 '1", Jake Paul. And then he gets
- 1:06:35a shot at Usyk for some fucking reason. Oh, my
- 1:06:38God. Hey, listen, if Usyk, like, Jake Paul, Usyk,
- 1:06:42and then, like, Usyk super, like, he's cleared
- 1:06:44out his era and the next era. Guys, I see it.
- 1:06:48I see it. I see it, okay? You know how they're
- 1:06:50doing the Anthony... This just in, by the way.
- 1:06:52The Anthony Joshua Fury are, I guess... Yeah,
- 1:06:55the Turkey Curse, too. Has two fights planned
- 1:06:59for both of them. Yeah, the Turkey... The Turkey
- 1:07:03Curse. There's so many things that could... Little
- 1:07:07things that could just go wrong there. I'm not
- 1:07:12giving Jake Paul... Like, I don't think he has
- 1:07:18the ability to win. I just think there is a,
- 1:07:21like... Non -zero chance. There's a very obvious
- 1:07:26and present set of reasons that could create
- 1:07:30the conditions for AJ to look horrible. I got
- 1:07:34an idea for a doubleheader, okay? You have AJ
- 1:07:36fight Justice Huni, okay? Oh, my God, bro. And
- 1:07:39in the main event, you got Jake Paul versus Tyson
- 1:07:43Fury for... The Battle of America. There you
- 1:07:48go. Why Justice Hootie, though? That's a random
- 1:07:52shout. Nah, give him Gassiev, dude. AJ Gassiev
- 1:07:56would be a good tune -up. That way you have a
- 1:07:58trinket. Then yeah, Gassiev. Trinket. He just
- 1:08:02fought. In New York. Or the fucking White House.
- 1:08:07On the 4th of July. Boom. Making a fucking shit
- 1:08:12ton of money. Boom. Point is, the result should
- 1:08:18obviously be AJ decimating Jake Paul, but should
- 1:08:22it not be, the reasons are there for it to not
- 1:08:24be. Like, we could totally have AJ showing up
- 1:08:29looking like Chris Eubank because he got fat
- 1:08:31during his layoff. His year and a half layoff
- 1:08:36after getting brutally knocked out. So could
- 1:08:41Jake Paul reasonably ask Anthony Joshua if he
- 1:08:44has any excuses tonight? Oh, my God. See, I would
- 1:08:49be making that edit, like, as the fight happened.
- 1:08:55Oh, with editing software. That would go triple,
- 1:08:57triple platinum. Realistically, let's say Jake
- 1:09:01Paul knocks out AJ. How big of an upset would
- 1:09:03that be? The odds right now, I think it's like
- 1:09:10a minus 900 for AJ to win. The odds aren't that
- 1:09:16good because Vegas wants a lot of idiots to put
- 1:09:19their money on Jake. Makes sense. Like, if you
- 1:09:24make it attractive enough to bet on, they'll
- 1:09:27bet. Yeah, I mean... Because if you make them
- 1:09:30super wide, gamblers are going to be like, oh,
- 1:09:33it's not ever happening. They just look at the
- 1:09:35number. That's all I got to say about this fight.
- 1:09:41It's hilarious, and I hope the worst possible
- 1:09:43result happens. Well, I'm just saying, if AJ
- 1:09:46don't knock him out, I seriously got to think
- 1:09:48that's rigged. There's no way he doesn't knock
- 1:09:50him out. Come on. I'm going to list guys worse
- 1:09:54than Jake Paul. Like, probably his first 10 fights
- 1:09:59are all guys. Like, up until Kevin Johnson, all
- 1:10:04those guys are worse than Jake Paul. Eric Molina,
- 1:10:13he took three rounds to destroy Eric Molina.
- 1:10:16And Eric Molina is for sure worse than Jake Paul.
- 1:10:20Sure about that. Why is Jake Paul better than
- 1:10:22these guys? Let me ask you that. Jake Paul can
- 1:10:24throw a jab. and a cross, and a hook, and, uh,
- 1:10:30I say, like, Eric, like, Eric, are we really
- 1:10:32defending Eric Molina? Like, Alfred Molina, the
- 1:10:35actor, fights better than he does. Is, is, is,
- 1:10:39is fucking Jake Paul better than, than, than
- 1:10:41Chisora? No. But, again, like I was saying, I'm
- 1:10:46looking at guys who AJ actually fought. These
- 1:10:48are all guys that AJ fought. Same. But, this
- 1:10:55is, I just want to see it. Like, this is the
- 1:10:59circus I will be tuning in for. Oh, it's a circus,
- 1:11:02all right. I mean, honestly, this is a lot more
- 1:11:04interesting than fucking Jake versus Tank, in
- 1:11:07my opinion. Oh, yeah. Because AJ can actually
- 1:11:10kill Jake. That's crazy. God, imagine if AJ shows
- 1:11:17up looking like Eubank did for the second Ben
- 1:11:19fight. All gaunt and... There's no way he's going
- 1:11:23to be fucking careful. He just shows up looking
- 1:11:25dead, dude. I'd cry. I want to see a Vladimir
- 1:11:30Klitschko KO. Fucking where his head goes up
- 1:11:32and stretches the neck. You mean where he gets
- 1:11:35knocked down? Yeah. That was nice. I want to
- 1:11:41see some shit like that. I doubt Jake would let
- 1:11:44him off the hook like Klitschko did, though.
- 1:11:47If the fight goes like that. Boxing needs a knockout.
- 1:11:53Well, boxing needs a knockout from either one,
- 1:11:56actually. If Jake were to knock out Anthony Joshua,
- 1:12:01I think a lot of people are going to be like,
- 1:12:02holy shit. They're probably going to start actually
- 1:12:04tuning in for his fights. People are going to
- 1:12:06wake up to the fact that heavyweight kind of
- 1:12:08sucks. That or they might just say that. How
- 1:12:12many years have we been humoring heavyweights
- 1:12:16being good? I think we cope because of Usyk.
- 1:12:25Yeah, no, Usyk is good. That's why he's... I'm
- 1:12:30saying heavyweights generally, people are going
- 1:12:32to wake up to the deficiencies of the average
- 1:12:35heavyweight. Well... Finally, finally. It's only
- 1:12:40been like 40 years of the perpetual debate on
- 1:12:44whether heavyweights are good or not. Well, you
- 1:12:47have one good heavyweight and you have like a
- 1:12:49million other. Yeah, but that's the thing. A
- 1:12:51lot of people believe that generally heavyweights
- 1:12:54are good. There was the whole debate over Tyson
- 1:13:02Fury on the pound -for -pound list. Sure, he's
- 1:13:07good for heavyweight, but most of it comes from
- 1:13:10just being huge. Would Sebastian Pandora do good
- 1:13:16in another division? I don't know. I probably
- 1:13:19don't think so. Like, if you shrank him down
- 1:13:21and it was just his skills, that's the whole
- 1:13:22pound -for -pound argument. Yeah. In all honesty,
- 1:13:26Sebastian Fedora is just being saved by that
- 1:13:27matchmaking. So, like, Usyk's skill set works.
- 1:13:31Just, like, it's so obvious that it would work
- 1:13:34at, like, any size. Usyk, Crawford. But, like,
- 1:13:40guys who are like, oh, Tyson Fury, like, the
- 1:13:43heavyweights belong on pound -for -pound. They
- 1:13:45generally don't. So would you put Jake Paul higher
- 1:13:50on the pound -for -pound list than Tyson Fury
- 1:13:52for your son? You know what? If he beats Anthony
- 1:13:56Joshua by knockout, sure. I might just rate Jake
- 1:14:01Paul. I'll put him in at number 10 on my pound
- 1:14:04-for -pound list if he beats Anthony Joshua.
- 1:14:06No, he's a legend. He's a boxing legend if he
- 1:14:09does that shit. I'm just calling it right now.
- 1:14:12Oh, my God. That is so fucking legendary. I'd
- 1:14:15cry. I'd cry, actually. some shit like AJ or
- 1:14:21Jacob Wilder. Oh, my God. Literally, anything
- 1:14:25is possible. Isn't that show how much we don't
- 1:14:31believe in AJ? I don't know, man. I've watched
- 1:14:38fighters turn old overnight after less harmful
- 1:14:44performances on lesser layovers. Leo, you've
- 1:14:49been kind of a little bit silent on this. You've
- 1:14:50got to tell us your opinion, man. I'm leaning
- 1:14:53towards this can only go bad for Joshua. I'm
- 1:15:01thinking if it goes to round four or beyond,
- 1:15:04we've got to start questioning what Anthony Joshua
- 1:15:07is really doing. I don't give Jake Paul all that
- 1:15:11much chance. Non -zero, but it's not a lot. Yeah,
- 1:15:16like, it's not, it won't be Jake that wins. It's
- 1:15:19totally, like, any of the factors present in
- 1:15:22this fight conspiring. Yeah, for AJ to lose.
- 1:15:26Yeah. All right. Let me just run down the card
- 1:15:32real quick, because there's actually, like, for
- 1:15:34women's fights, this is actually pretty stacked.
- 1:15:36They're pretty good. Yeah, so moving down the
- 1:15:39bill, Alicia Baumgartner versus Leila Bodoan?
- 1:15:43I don't know. I think I got it. Uh, this is for
- 1:15:47three. Yeah. Should not have set me straight
- 1:15:51on that one too. Um, three of the four titles
- 1:15:54on the line here. Uh, Sharnika Johnson versus
- 1:15:57Amanda. Oh, I don't know if that's a double L
- 1:16:00like a Y I'm going to go with. I, okay. I don't
- 1:16:05know with a name like Amanda. I'm not sure. Yeah.
- 1:16:08But this one's for undisputed at Bantamweight.
- 1:16:12Uh, Yocasta Valle. versus Yadira Bustillos at
- 1:16:16minimum. Caroline Dubois, the WBC lightweight
- 1:16:20champion versus Camila Panata. And Avious Griffin,
- 1:16:26who just has a cool name. Anderson Silva versus
- 1:16:31Tyron Woodley. Oh, fuck. Oh, my God. Two bums,
- 1:16:38but lovingly. I'm on a... Team Spider on this
- 1:16:44one. Anderson Silva. I'm team going to get food
- 1:16:47for this one. It's listed everywhere at the bottom,
- 1:16:52so I don't know. I'm team going to go bully Isaac
- 1:16:55for getting food for this one. I'm going to be
- 1:17:00honest. I'm going to be in Seattle. I'm going
- 1:17:05to be overseas for this one. Not overseas. Fuck.
- 1:17:08Overstate. What? Yeah, I'm not gonna be... I'm
- 1:17:12gonna watch you, but I'm gonna watch you on my
- 1:17:13phone. Yeah. So, yeah, so... Legally. Actually,
- 1:17:20I can't make that joke this time. It is on Netflix.
- 1:17:24Yeah, no, I actually am gonna be watching it.
- 1:17:26Yeah. They are sucking the money out of my ass.
- 1:17:30I'll be honest. I've bought a lot of the pay
- 1:17:32-per -views this year. A lot of the major ones.
- 1:17:37Man, I paid, like, three years at DAZN back when
- 1:17:40it was new, so, like, I'm not paying for anything
- 1:17:42ever again. Yeah, that's true. Well, actually,
- 1:17:46I don't want to get flamed for this, but actually,
- 1:17:53my grandpa has a DAZN account. But the thing
- 1:17:58is that, like, it has other uses. Like, it has
- 1:18:00F1 and the NFL on it in some countries. Yeah,
- 1:18:03but my grandpa don't be watching F1. Oh, so then
- 1:18:07you're just wasting your fucking money. Yeah.
- 1:18:14That's all we got. Two bums, generally. Special
- 1:18:19edition of the Boxing B -Sides? Yeah. Cutting
- 1:18:22back to the regular programming. Yeah. Robin,
- 1:18:25come back. Sorry, Robin. The WBC Grand Prix Finals
- 1:18:36on the 20th. Fuck, I haven't been keeping up
- 1:18:43with the tournament. Have you guys been watching
- 1:18:46it? I watched Eric Bazarin get fried early on,
- 1:18:52and that was the highlight of my joy. Fucking
- 1:18:58the heavyweight final, Kevin Ramirez versus Ahmed.
- 1:19:03Kernjik. Oof. Featherweight final. Muhammad Kaumili
- 1:19:09versus Brandon Mejia. Super lightweight. Muhibilo
- 1:19:13Tusurnov versus Carlos Utrea. And middleweight's
- 1:19:18Derek Pomerleau. He's... I recognize that name.
- 1:19:23Versus Dylan Biggs. Let me see. Australian middleweight.
- 1:19:37Lost to Nikita Siu by knockout. Jesus. That's
- 1:19:44not good. Yeah. In 2023. Stopped in five rounds.
- 1:19:54His last opponent actually is a pretty entertaining
- 1:19:57name. Says here, Lancelot Proton de la Chapelle.
- 1:20:05Lancelot. That's a pretty good name. That's a
- 1:20:07pretty good name. Other than the Grand Prix Finals,
- 1:20:13there's a Salida Promotions card on DAZN. Two
- 1:20:18fighters I recognize, Michael Coffey. He's not
- 1:20:23very good heavyweight, but... Oh, yeah. I still
- 1:20:27remember when PVC tried to push him on an undercard
- 1:20:29and he got exposed almost immediately. Gotta
- 1:20:32support my boy anyway. Tony Harrison versus Brian
- 1:20:38Chavez. Tony Harrison quietly rebuilding his
- 1:20:44career. Oh yeah. That's it though. It's another
- 1:20:50light weekend. We're getting close to the end

- 1:24:04hope that in the future they get better. They
- 1:24:11need to stop this bullshit. Who needs to get
- 1:24:16better? Everybody needs to get better. Refs,
- 1:24:20judges, everybody. Yeah. Man, we can't let the
- 1:24:25Saudis get ammunition or the TKO guys get ammunition
- 1:24:31to fuck over the sport. They're laughing at this
- 1:24:34shit. Oh, yeah. We're making it easy. You have
- 1:24:41to at least make it hard. The thing is, say what
- 1:24:44you will about the Saudis, they will fold under
- 1:24:47adversity. If Turkey's soccer team venture is
- 1:24:53anything to be said. But you have to give them
- 1:24:55the adversity. They're already starting to pull
- 1:24:57back, aren't they? Yeah. That's what I'm saying.
- 1:25:01You need, like, they're starting to make concerns
- 1:25:03about profit and everything. You just need to,
- 1:25:04like, don't give. You just have to push. Before,
- 1:25:09they would have fucking, how many fights on the
- 1:25:11card? Now they only have four. Yeah. You know?
- 1:25:14Yeah, they don't have any stack top to bottom.
- 1:25:16They don't have any M &M walkouts. No crazy promos
- 1:25:21anymore. That's the one thing I really liked
- 1:25:23about the Saudis was the promos. They stopped
- 1:25:26with Ryan Garcia. We'll see. We'll see what happens.
- 1:25:37Well, it's another light weekend, so I'm going
- 1:25:40to suggest going outside. Yep. Enjoy the snow
- 1:25:45or the sun, depending on where you are. Pro Box
- 1:25:48is on Thursday, and so you got a good free weekend
- 1:25:53here. Again, both of these cards, the Grand Prix
- 1:25:56Finals and the Salida card, they're both on DAZN.
- 1:26:00DAZN will be there when you get back. Yeah, go
- 1:26:07outside. If you can do other things, fucking
- 1:26:10do other things. This is not a weekend to lock
- 1:26:12yourself up to watch. Watch Box. Mediocre Box.
- 1:26:20Alright. On that grim note, that's it for this
- 1:26:24edition of the Boxing B -Sides. We'll fucking
- 1:26:26see you on the other side when we're getting
- 1:26:28more excited for the end of the year. Fucking
- 1:26:31trophies.
