The B -Side and Boxing. B -Side shit. B -Side.
0:04
B -Side. And the B -Side. You got a B -Side.
0:06
The B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. The B
0:10
-Side thing. This is the B -Sides Boxing Podcast.
0:20
Alright. Boxing B -Sides. Holy shit. We are back
0:25
to talk the fights. Josh, Saul, how goes it?
0:34
Fantastic. Excellent. We got to talk boxing one
0:39
last time. One last time. One more week. Before
0:44
you guys know what's going to happen. You know,
0:51
a little bit of an unrelated note. Did you know
0:54
that Punch's girlfriend dumped him? What? Yeah,
0:58
I saw that on the outline. I was like, God damn
1:00
it. Yeah. Oh, my God. My little dude, his girlfriend
1:06
dumped him. That's what has Trump so disturbed
1:09
these days. Jesus Christ. It's punch. He's taking
1:13
it out on Iran. Really, this is the reason. Was
1:19
it before or after the fight with Zora and Wilder?
1:24
Before. Oh, I can't remember. That's why we have
1:27
one leak left because the times are changing.
1:31
Everything's changing after this wild shit. Yeah,
1:35
we're going to have to send aircraft carriers
1:37
to Japan to prevent Punch from developing a nuclear
1:40
weapon. Oh, yeah. He got cooked. I think I might
1:50
have to go over there and guard him. They don't
1:52
want to do him like a rambay. we don't have any
1:57
MMA to talk that's like worth pointing out this
2:01
week but nonetheless ultimate effing casuals
2:05
all of your MMA chatter we talk 1FC PFL UFC and
2:11
anything and everything in between we get up
2:15
to it over there so let's get into the boxing
2:18
news Alfredo Angulo is going to Bare knuckle
2:24
boxing. El perro. It's going to be bare knuckle
2:30
fighting. So isn't that nice? We talked about
2:40
him last week. Sebastian Fandora is in talks
2:44
with Josh Kelly for a unification fight. This
2:48
is in preliminary talks. I haven't heard. any
2:53
changes yet from last week but i'm hoping that
2:59
saul isn't right here with the notion that fundora
3:05
is going to be kept on pbc fighting pbc guys
3:10
only i'm really hopeful that they can make something
3:14
happen with matchroom and however whatever the
3:21
However it is that they have to arrange it for
3:25
Fundora and Josh Kelly to unify. Like, fuck.
3:29
Like, please. Come on. Come on. Fundora deserves
3:32
better. Kelly, if the fight is made, like, boy,
3:39
you ain't going to be pretty no more. I mean,
3:43
you never know. He did beat Murazawa. He did.
3:48
That's... That's true. Super close. One thing
3:54
I do got to say that would provide some proof
3:57
of my point happening is that, I mean, Fandora
4:02
could have fought Zayas. He could have. That's
4:06
true. He could have when he looked the most vulnerable,
4:10
Zayas. So, I mean, hey, there's that. A little
4:15
bit of a thought. Am I becoming a Fundora hater?
4:20
Not really. I like Fundora. I love Fundora. He's
4:23
a local guy. But, man, I don't like the politics
4:26
around him. No. I think I brought this up last
4:30
week, but also his management very much is handling
4:34
him like a protected asset. Just because the
4:38
vulnerability he's shown is not predictable enough
4:41
to be able to cash out if it's ever too much.
4:46
Exactly. PBC protection program. Well, it's not
4:52
like PBC... PBC would put him in if his management
4:55
wanted him to. They protect belligerent champs.
4:59
The Kameda card. That was, uh... It was apparently
5:04
a three -day festival, as the Kamedas like to
5:09
do. It was in Kyrgyzstan. And it was going to
5:13
be like the culmination of the three -day event
5:17
was Luis Neri versus John Riel Casimero. That
5:21
whole three -day festival is off. The prevailing
5:27
theory is safety concerns. Based on the very
5:33
recent ceasefire for Iran and the U .S., It's
5:42
possible that this might come back, but I don't
5:45
know. It's already canceled at this point. I
5:47
don't know if it's going to make a rebound. Just
5:54
my guess. Chris Eubank Jr. and Michael Zarafa
6:00
are in the works for a catchweight. I was telling
6:08
Shanada about this, and I was saying that I don't
6:12
think Michael Zarafa rates a catch weight. And
6:17
I think that Chris Eubank has all the leverage
6:20
here, so he can make this at whatever weight
6:23
he wants. Just my thinking. I don't know. Do
6:27
you guys see it differently? No, that's pretty
6:31
clear. Mirko Coelho. The WBA interim featherweight
6:42
champion has been stripped of his interim title,
6:45
but he remains the number one contender for Brandon
6:51
Figueroa. Again, no real announcement as to why
6:58
they're doing this. The prevailing theory here
7:02
as well is the... The Ali Revival Act. With that
7:09
legislation seeming to be moving ahead. It seems
7:15
that I think that the WBA is starting to get
7:18
themselves in line with that legislation. That's
7:23
just what it looks like to me. The IBA. IBA Pro
7:29
is going to be moving ahead with Bevo. Better
7:32
be of three. in Moscow by the end of 2026. This
7:39
fight feels unnecessary in my book. I think Beeble
7:45
won both of them, but I don't know. Do you guys
7:49
see it differently? Not much to say about it.
7:54
Not really. I don't really have much to say about
7:56
it. All right. I should have fucking split up
8:00
the news better. Top rank. Their first card on
8:05
DAZN will be headlined by Keyshawn Davis and
8:09
Nahir Albright. Are we hoping that Keyshawn does
8:13
not bring a baby to the backroom brawl again?
8:20
Oh, man. This is... This one could be so funny.
8:27
This fight could be so funny. Yeah, the build
8:33
-up would be pretty funny. I mean, Kishan, whether
8:36
you like it or not, Kishan is the guy that makes
8:38
noise, you know? There's going to be some eyes
8:42
on this fight, obviously. We saw him have problems
8:44
with Albright, too, when they fought. It was
8:47
a majority decision originally. And you know
8:51
what? If he's going as a fighter, I mean... It'll
8:55
be a great moment for Kishan to show off where
8:58
he is right now as a fighter. But, I don't know.
9:03
Albright's looked pretty damn good since the
9:05
Keyshawn fight, too. Got jobbed against Frank
9:08
Martin, I would say. Basically, yeah. And almost
9:14
got jobbed with Kelvin Davis when the brawl happened.
9:19
Who knows? One thing I will say is Keyshawn,
9:28
if he's grown as a fighter, then it will be shown
9:30
in this fight. Yeah. Absolutely. Like, he'll
9:34
show the difference between when he was, as he
9:40
put it, addicted to weed versus how he is now.
9:47
Addicted to weed? Yeah. Jesus Christ. You know,
9:52
I can't even talk shit about that. i've had i've
9:55
had worse addictions no but that's the problem
9:57
like addicted to something like bad is like okay
10:00
that's like the express purpose usually oh oh
10:05
that's what you mean oh yeah like addicted the
10:07
weed is like come on like it's not even there's
10:11
nothing deliberately addictive about the i'm
10:14
addicted to farting like what are you fucking
10:17
talking about bro yeah Chill out. Like, there's
10:22
no nicotine in what you're doing here. You know
10:26
what? I can't talk shit because, you know what?
10:28
I'm going to be honest. I'm going to talk about
10:29
it. I got addicted to gum one time. Nicotine
10:35
gum? You're not assaulting guys backstage because
10:38
of your gum addiction. Well, no. I just got addicted
10:42
to eating gum all the time. When I would get
10:43
stressed, I would just eat gum. Like that's it.
10:47
I just ate a shit ton of gum. I would end up
10:49
eating like a pack a day And then it got to the
10:52
point You'd work in a kitchen and you'd be like
10:56
hold on I need to take my gum break No, I ended
10:59
up calling on my cigarettes I ended up calling
11:03
on my cigarettes right and one day I actually
11:05
ran up on someone I offered him Hey, do you want
11:07
a cigarette? He said yeah, what do you smoke?
11:10
Camel? Camel or whatever You spoke Marlboro?
11:18
I was like, no. I actually eat gum. And he's
11:25
like, oh, okay. I've been recovering cigarette
11:28
smoking addict. I was like, oh. I'm sorry, bro.
11:33
I just never talked to him ever again after that.
11:35
I was like, damn. I'm sorry. Is gum like code?
11:43
for coke or something right now no i no i actually
11:47
got an addiction to gum i would eat no this is
11:49
a much we're talking about sad like insect minor
11:52
addictions that you're like okay like that's
11:54
okay it's not a thing yeah well no it ended up
11:57
consuming my life i ended up having to need gum
12:00
for every part gum ruined this man's life well
12:05
no seriously i would get i would get addicted
12:08
when i got addicted to gum i would need it everywhere
12:11
Whenever I got stressed, I would need to eat
12:13
gum. Or else, like, I would get, like, angry.
12:17
And, like, overwhelmed. Are you sure it wasn't,
12:20
like, nicotine gum? No, it was fucking Orbit,
12:23
dude. Oh, my God. Fucking Wrigley's Gum Company.
12:30
Ruining America, apparently. No, I just had to
12:34
get off it. Juicy fruit ruined my life. Juicy
12:38
fruit. No, it wasn't juicy fruit. The Sour Patch
12:41
Kids bullshit. Well, what I would do after I
12:45
would brush my teeth, I would eat a stick or
12:47
two of gum. And then before I went to bed, when
12:50
I would brush my teeth again, I would eat a stick
12:52
or two of gum just to keep my mouth fresh. Oh,
12:55
my God. And then throughout the day, I would
12:58
pop some pieces of gum and drink water to make
13:01
my breath smell good as well. Would this cause
13:04
you to throw a baby at someone the way that Keyshawn
13:08
did? If you didn't give me my gum for a day,
13:11
dude, I might have. Oh, my God. This is how we're
13:16
defending Keyshawn Davis. We're coming up with
13:18
even worse addictions. Jesus. No, it got crazy,
13:26
man. Some of it's a little over the top. Maybe
13:30
we should start by paying me first in the long
13:34
term because it's all going to go to gum. I'll
13:38
pay you in gum. Wrigley's gum is going to eat
13:40
up the money if we give it to Sol. Yeah. Something
13:49
not quite as good as gum. Zufa Boxing 6, the
13:55
main portion of the card has been announced.
13:59
Are you ready for this magic? From the top down,
14:05
Shane Mosley Jr. vs. Sergey Bohachuk at middleweight.
14:12
Julian Rodriguez vs. James Perea at welterweight.
14:17
And Misael... Rodriguez versus Andreas Katsurakis
14:22
at middleweight. That is Zufa 6. That is bleak.
14:35
Wow, I'm so excited. I love Zufa. I actually
14:38
do think that Shane Mosley versus Ceri Bochuk
14:42
is actually going to be a pretty good fight.
14:44
What? Just because Shane Mosley versus Ceri Bochuk.
14:47
Yeah. It is. I was like, who are we overrating
14:51
here? No, they're both monks. They're both going
14:55
to monk out. Shane Mosley Jr. fought pretty well
14:59
against Ramos. That's true. Listen, man. Bojack
15:04
isn't that rated. But also against Shane Mosley
15:11
Jr. Two monks? Two guys that haven't had their
15:17
gum. Two bums. Classic quotation, two bums. Two
15:24
bums, no gum. No gum. All right. We'll see how
15:34
much of that is Patreon time. But that's pretty
15:37
much it for Zufa 6. Shane Mosley, Sergei Bochuk.
15:45
That's... Do you think Boho Chuck was overrated?
15:48
Like, what, his close fight with Virgil? I think
15:53
Brandon Adams is just that nightmare matchup.
15:56
Yeah. Like, remember we said it was an obvious,
15:59
like, we're getting rid of Boho Chuck because
16:01
he's too hard for our prospects. And Brandon
16:03
Adams just, like, had his number. He just does.
16:07
Had his number, super beatable. Yeah. But...
16:13
Shane Mosley is also, I think Saul had it right.
16:17
Like it's two bums, two mongs. Should be a good
16:24
night at the very least. Like Kat Sarakis, I
16:28
think he won the overtime brackets a couple times.
16:35
OTX. Yeah, the OTX. He did all right over there.
16:41
And I know they matched their guys up pretty
16:44
decently from the times that I watched it anyway.
16:48
So, should be okay. Let's fucking roll on a few
16:55
notes here. The social media shit. LBX Media

P -R -O. T -O -N. I'm going to keep it a buck
20:33
with you. After spending six years in the military
20:35
and throughout my life since, I've tried my fair
20:38
share of energy drinks. All the different brands,
20:41
all the different flavors, and it took some time
20:43
to find a favorite. But if you're looking for
20:46
an alternative to the energy drink jitters and
20:48
skipping the morning trip to the coffee shop,
20:50
then you need to try Dubby. Dubby is a powdered
20:53
energy drink that replaces other caffeine beverages.
20:57
It contains zero maltodextrin, zero fillers,
21:00
zero artificial colors or dyes, and no proprietary
21:03
blends. The star of the show is the coffee fruit
21:06
extract, which helps with focus without the jitters
21:08
or crash. Go to lvx .be slash dubby and check
21:13
out all the different flavors. I got Tiger's
21:16
Blood. It's like a strawberry coconut kind of
21:18
mix. But I'm definitely going to be sampling
21:20
the catalog to find the flavor that I like best.
21:23
We've partnered with W to get that locked -in
21:25
feeling that helps us focus on what we do best.
21:29
Whether you're getting dialed in for work or

getting dialed in for Saturday night fights,

let W be your fuel. Go to lvx .be slash w to

shop the flavors, get yourself a nice discount,
21:41
and help us out in the process. That's lvx .be

slash d -u -b -b -y. Here we go for the reviews.
21:51
Yay. Wait, we're missing one big aspect of news.
21:57
What's up? Zayas versus Boots is confirmed. We
22:03
didn't talk about that shit. You're right. That's
22:05
right. Well, respect, Zayas. We'll say you gave
22:14
it a go. Go on, my son. Go on, my son. You get
22:19
the British... Virgil fans can finally cheer
22:23
for someone with a world title. Shut the fuck
22:27
up, bro. I thought I was free. I was free from
22:34
one episode. No, never, never. There's always...
22:36
The fact that Zayas has had a better career is
22:39
hilarious. We'll see. See, that's the thing.
22:45
If Zayas wins, he did it. If Zayas wins and like
22:48
the 1 % chance that he does, it's Zayas is like
22:53
Zayas beat Boots before Virgil won a belt. At
22:57
that point, would we start calling Boots a bum
22:59
for losing to Zayas? Yes. How much of a bum is
23:03
Virgil for not even fighting anyone? It's a coulda,
23:09
woulda, coulda, shoulda type of thing. You'll
23:10
never know. If meet potential men. The potential
23:16
man. If. If and could but never when. No, but
23:24
when Boots wins that, it'll be real. The slander
23:27
gets really funny. If Boots wins, by the way.
23:30
You never know. If. If. I gotta say if. If. The
23:35
word is always if with Virgil fans. Hey, if Boots
23:39
wins, you never know. I mean, Boots is a fight.
23:43
You know? He fights very well. He fights, obviously,
23:47
very well. He's a fucking... One of the most
23:49
talented boxers out right now. But he does some
23:52
things that are also unorthodox. Where someone
23:58
that has, you know, that fights by the book,
24:02
which Zaius kind of does, might give him problems.
24:06
You know? I always like to point it back out
24:09
to the Karen Chuka Zadazian fight. But that's
24:12
all the props I'm going to give Zayas on how
24:14
he's going to beat Boots because on that, I mean,
24:18
Abbas probably was able to catch him. Yeah. Boots
24:23
is definitely going to catch him. You're allowed
24:24
to be real. Yeah, no, I'm being real right now.
24:27
Yeah, I just wanted to give everybody props.
24:29
He was at the Super Bowl, for Christ's sake.
24:31
But, man, I mean, Boots is going to wipe the
24:35
floor, unfortunately. And I got to give all my
24:39
respect to Zayas, man, because he's unified.
24:42
taking a fight that he did not have to take at
24:44
all. He could have taken many, many Sebastian
24:48
Fundor level fights. Oh, yeah. Just fight his
24:52
mandatories the whole time. Yeah. Exactly. He
24:56
would have a bunch of mandatories to fight, and
24:57
yet he fought Boots, or he's going to fight Boots,
24:59
and it's going to be gangbusters. I'm going to
25:03
be inviting everybody for that fight, honestly.
25:10
So, Fundora beats Josh Kelly, and he's the unified
25:15
champion before Virgil gets anything. Two unified
25:20
champions at the weight class before Virgil.
25:24
Undisputed. Like, we'll say Sebastian beats Kelly,
25:28
just for the sake of argument. Argument. And
25:32
Boots beats Zayas, again, just for the sake of
25:36
the point. In Boots' fight. Undisputed 154 champ
25:44
before Virgil gets out of court. Yeah, Virgil's
25:50
just watching the sidelines. He is in the chair
25:54
in the corner. Oh yeah, like that picture I sent?
25:58
Yes, like that one. I'll pull it up again. Alright,
26:04
let's get into the recaps here. First things
26:07
first. We had, this is a little bit more of a
26:11
shinada fight. Rene Santiago beats Masataka Taniguchi
26:17
to retain the WBO, WBA light flyweight titles.
26:25
And Yukinori Oguni beats Marlon Tapales by UD.
26:34
Fucking Inoue resume. Not aging well here. Boo.
26:43
Boo. Skipping ahead to MP Promotions in San Diego.
26:55
Only really one I wanted to talk about. Well,
26:58
two. Manny Pacquiao Jr. knocks out Derek Gates
27:04
in the second. Finally in the win column, Manny,
27:10
congrats. At this stage of his career, your dad
27:16
was already, like, fucking five division, whatever.
27:22
Yeah, I was going to say, age 25 is kind of crazy.
27:26
And in the main event... That boy was fighting
27:29
Eric Morales at that age. Right. Like, your dad
27:34
was already doing... legendary shit at this point.
27:40
I guess, like we were talking about last week
27:43
with Marvin Hagler and the silk pajamas, when
27:47
you're born with a silver spoon up your ass,
27:50
of course you're not going to be rushing into
27:55
a boxing career. In the main event, Pedro Tataran.
28:02
Retains his IBF minimum weight title by knockout.
28:06
So, congrats. Matchroom on DAZN in Altrincham.
28:16
The only two fights I wanted to point out. William
28:21
Krala pulls it out of his ass to beat Glenn Byrne.
28:27
By knockout in the seventh, he got knocked down
28:31
like five fucking times. Holy shit. He was getting
28:36
his ass beat, and then he just manages to make
28:40
it happen. In the main event, Pat Brown, the
28:46
Olympian, wins by stoppage in the eighth over
28:50
Vasil Dusar. Congratulations. Saturday, April
28:57
4th. We are going to skip around because I know
29:06
what you boys want to talk about. We're not going
29:09
to do that. You can leave that one for last.
29:12
Exactly. We're going to do that one last. So,
29:16
Saturday, April 4th in Wollongong, New South
29:21
Wales, Australia. Just the only ones that I watched.
29:27
Let's see. Sam Goodman gets a UD over Rodrigo
29:31
Ruiz. Well, it was certainly a fight. And Tim
29:39
Zhu, UD over Dennis Nuria. This set up the Errol
29:48
Spence fight. I guess you could say it sets up
29:52
something. Yeah, exactly. I guess you could say
29:56
that it was a set -up fight, but whatever, man.
30:02
Tim Zhu got a nasty cut on his cheek. My man
30:09
is made out of paper, so I don't know. I don't
30:14
know. I can only hope. That the big fish is as
30:18
washed as we hope he is. For your sake. That's
30:23
really all I got there. Boxer. In Cardiff. I
30:37
don't know. I don't got a whole lot here. Lauren
30:39
Price wins a UD over Stephanie Aquino. That's
30:46
really all I got there. And last thing for Saturday,
30:54
April 4th, Queensberry at the O2 Arena. Man from
31:02
the bottom up. Dan Tower stops Misael de Vega
31:07
in three. Ashton Silva, UD over Raul Galaviz.
31:15
Like, man, this dude came up like a week out
31:21
of the event. Short notice, and you got a UD.
31:25
Come on. Jermaine to Luayo. I think I got that
31:36
right. Stops Jake Morgan in seven. Amir Anderson
31:40
stops Jordan Duyon in eight. Maddie Harris stops
31:45
Franklin Ignatius in two. Denzel Bentley stops
31:50
Andre Savreja in seven. Congrats. That was a
31:56
good win. Vidal Riley, UD over Mateus Mastronach.
32:05
I guess you could call that a win. If Riley had
32:13
any power, he would have stopped Master Nag.
32:17
As Pauly Malinowski puts it on the Probox podcast,
32:30
if my auntie had a dick, she'd be my uncle. Yeah.
32:35
That being said, Riley might be our new IBF champion
32:38
in a month. He might be with the old Jayo Pataya
32:44
situation. The Australian literacy crisis. In
32:52
the main event, Deontay Wilder split decision
32:56
over Derek Chisora. Who wants to go first? Who
33:05
wants to go first? I got to give it to Frost.
33:08
This was an interesting fucking fight, man. There
33:12
wasn't much boxing. There wasn't much refereeing
33:16
or structure. A lot of hype moments and aura
33:24
and a lot of dog shit. It was like your classic,
33:27
like, damn, this sucks, but I'm not going to
33:30
turn the TV off fight. I was tapped in, honestly.
33:33
It was actually a pretty fun fight to watch.
33:35
Yeah, this was pretty fun. For how outrageous
33:36
it was. It was not good. No, it wasn't hell no
33:40
good. It was entertaining. If it was any display
33:42
of skill, I think it was outside in the crowd.
33:46
The speed of Chizora's corner and involving themselves
33:50
in the fight. Oh, boy. I'm surprised they didn't
33:53
do that again. Jesus. That ref was horrendous.
34:00
That was some blatant... Stop boxing! The commission
34:04
investigated themselves and found no wrongdoing.
34:07
Stop boxing. Man, if Wilder could have stopped
34:14
that, stopped Cesaro and didn't. Ten years ago,
34:18
Wilder. Easy. Easy work. Even five years, man.
34:24
Like, this is just... He is washed. What do you
34:33
expect after this much time? He's holding...
34:37
He has Chizora in the corner and he's looking
34:42
at him like, are you ready? I love you. I love
34:47
you, bro. Chizora said it back. Chizora said
34:53
it back and then got knocked through the ropes.
34:55
This is so funny. I love you, my son. I love
34:59
you, my son. No, this is just hype moments and
35:05
aura with, like, a lot of dog shit, and I love
35:07
it. I like when the ref picked up Chizora and
35:10
said, hey, man, you good? He literally helped
35:13
him up. No, no, when Chizora's eye hurt, and
35:17
he got, like, the Tank Davis timeout, but he
35:20
didn't even take a knee or anything. Hey, man,
35:23
are you okay, man? You want to keep boxing, dude?
35:25
You okay, man? You okay, man? Oh, my God. Stop
35:31
boxing. This is a hilarious fight. hilarious
35:34
hilarious fight now that we have established
35:41
what this referee was doing for the short remainder
35:47
of the podcast I will be saying stop boxing at
35:50
the most random points excellent just so you
35:54
know stop boxing So as they were walking out,
36:01
Deontay Wilder stopped at AJ and he said, let's
36:09
do it. Like, bro, you're like 10 years too late.
36:15
What the fuck are you even talking about? I was
36:17
going to say, I'm like, man, it's been so fucking
36:20
long since this was a real thing. Andy Ruiz is
36:24
still a boxer. You know, Anthony Joshua just
36:29
fought in the top 10 heavyweight. The car? Stop
36:36
boxing. Okay, bro. Really? Oh, really? That's
36:42
fucked up. Is this what you mean when you say
36:49
big boys bumping beef? Okay, bro. Stop boxing.
36:54
Stop boxing. Stop boxing. Like, is this what
36:57
you mean? Oh, my God. Yeah, this is terrible.
37:04
Wilder should fight Dave Allen next, actually.
37:08
He really should. It might be the worst fight
37:12
in history. For my future money -making off this
37:16
pod, I have to condemn that statement right now,
37:19
or else they're going to, like, grill me in the
37:20
future for laughing at it. I'm going to get canceled.
37:27
They're going to pull this old pod. And then
37:31
they're going to bring in my gum addiction. The
37:33
gum addiction being brought up. That's the part
37:36
you should be most concerned about. What I'm
37:40
concerned about is who is Wilder going to fight
37:43
after this? Dave Allen. I just said Dave Allen.
37:48
No, well, yeah, you got to give me a real one,
37:50
though. That is a real one. AJ. No. Do you really
37:54
want to watch Wilder fight a real opponent and
37:57
die? AJ murders Wilder right now. But I still
38:02
want to see it. I want to see some murder. Dave
38:07
Allen also gets murdered, but it's reasonable.
38:12
Okay, stop boxing. I really don't know. Who it
38:22
should be. But I really do. I really do want
38:26
to see AJ Wilder. Still. Might be hilarious if
38:30
AJ gets. Iced. That would just be too god damn
38:34
funny. It would only confirm. Like we were talking.
38:37
The Brits in Discord were saying. Like they've
38:42
been saying lately. That. That. If Chizora had
38:48
won. it would have just been too fucking funny
38:51
for them. Yeah. And for AJ to... For Wilder to
38:57
ice AJ, it would be the same way for us, like,
39:01
in the US. Yeah. It's just too funny. Get revenge
39:08
for being one of Boxing's top prospects? Anointed
39:12
prospects. Not necessarily that he's not good.
39:16
It's just... They anointed him as the next coming
39:21
of heavyweight Jesus. Eugene Paul? No, the car.
39:30
Stop boxing. Stop boxing. Sorry, I had to. I'm
39:44
going to hell for laughing at this. It's just
39:47
so... I can't articulate the reason why I find
39:52
it so funny and, like, having the car chronologically
39:57
come after Jake Paul. Fuck. Stop boxing. Stop
40:03
boxing. The only way that that could have been
40:11
funnier is there's this Australian ref who, like,
40:15
he just sounds like his voice is made of sandpaper.
40:19
I don't know if you guys heard him, but, like,
40:22
just when he says stop boxing, it's like, Jesus
40:25
Christ. But do you guys got anything more for
40:31
Queensberry? No, I'm pretty good. Nope, not at
40:36
all, except go on, my son. You did it, my son.
40:40
You did it, my son. Man. Where would my life
40:46
be if my father actually said that? Sunday, April
40:54
5th, we had two cards. First, MVPW1. I watched
41:03
this all the way through so that you don't have
41:07
to. R. John Bossie stops Jake Price in the second.
41:13
Elizabeth Oshoba stops Chelsea Arnell in three.
41:19
Gemma Richardson gets the scoring ref over Johanna
41:28
Ramont. Shannon Courtney stops Sasha Booker in
41:34
three. Not a bad stoppage. Teresa Makinen gets
41:40
the scoring ref over Chloe Watson. Chantel Cameron,
41:46
beauty over Michaela Kotyskova. Not an enjoyable
41:51
fight to watch. Irma Garcia, the IBF super flyweight
42:00
champion, stops Emma Dolan in three. It's unfortunate
42:04
I was calling her Bay Madolin. Didn't work out
42:10
for me, but it's all good. Ellie Scottney beats
42:16
Mayeli Flores to unify and become undisputed
42:23
for all four titles. Congrats. Not a very enjoyable
42:30
fight to watch. No, this card was not great.
42:33
No. The Irma Garcia stoppage was pretty good.
42:38
The Shannon Courtney stoppage was pretty good.
42:42
But that was it. Caroline Dubois, UD over Terry
42:49
Harper. It's about time Terry Harper retired.
42:55
Zufa 5. well well well um troy nash gets a majority
43:02
decision what the fuck i don't know who the hell
43:05
would have scored that a draw but brian rodriguez
43:10
was just not competitive at all i don't know
43:14
who the hell gave him a draw um uh jorge maravillo
43:19
gets a nice stoppage over elias diaz uh that
43:24
was like a come from behind kind of uh that Just
43:29
to be fully objective, that's like a comeback
43:34
of the year kind of stoppage. That's how bad
43:37
he was getting beaten. Jesus. Nice. Tony Hirsch.
43:45
Majority decision over Robert Merriweather. I
43:49
would call this, again, just to be objective,
43:53
boxing agnostic. I would call this upset of the
43:59
year. Contender. Not saying that it is. It's
44:03
a contender. Interesting. Alex de la Cerda KO3
44:09
over Irvin Fuller. Again, boxing agnostic. Knockout
44:14
of the year contender. Azat Hovenissian Crazy
44:20
A gets the majority decision over Eduardo Baez.
44:25
Um, we don't keep track of it, but if we had
44:29
like bullshit of the year, I would call this
44:33
one. Mark Magsayo retires Fergal McCrory. This
44:42
went as expected. Magsayo was like a really heavy
44:46
favorite. So, you know, what are you going to
44:49
do? And fucking boring as shit main event. Andres,
44:55
Cortez, Erickson, Garcia. Cortez gets the UD.
45:01
Like, who really fucking cares? We were here
45:04
for Mexayo. I was here for Mexayo. That was pretty
45:07
much it. But that's pretty much the whole card.
45:11
Like, the undercard, it pains me to say, Zufa
45:17
delivered on this undercard. But what are you
45:21
going to do? Shall we roll on? Of course. Obviously.
45:28
Let's see. A few more notes before we move on.

MVPW2 at... This is in New York. Let me look
50:38
up the bill here. Oh, man. This is fucking rough.
50:51
It's not great. It's not. Shadesha Green versus
50:56
Lonnie Daniels. That's an IBFWBO. Super middleweight
51:04
fight. Shadesha Green is the champion of both.
51:07
And Alicia Baumgartner. And Bomi Rashin. Yes.
51:16
Excellent. Just riveting boxing. Well, it is
51:22
certainly a card. Yep, it's one of them. Give
51:26
me a card, all right? Saturday, April 18th. This
51:31
card has certainly downgraded. Oh, yeah. Not
51:38
worth going to at all anymore. Yes, Robert. As
51:43
of this moment, Leo Atang is still TBA. So, you
51:52
know, make of that what you will. Molly McCann
51:56
is facing Ashley Johnson. Joe McGrail is facing
52:04
Aaron Hayden in a Super Bantamweight fight. And
52:07
Peter McGrail is facing Kari Kani Mansia in a
52:14
Super Bantamweight fight. And the main event,
52:18
Callum Smith vs. David Morrell was cancelled.
52:22
We now have Ben Whittaker vs. Brian Suarez. yeah
52:29
what a fun fun card god what wow i am just fucking
52:36
beside myself yeah this is really one of the
52:40
weekends of boxing of all time fun guys this
52:44
is one of those ones where like if you have other
52:48
stuff to do you know like don't don't put yourself
52:53
out for this one It's on DAZN. You can catch
52:58
the replay if you're just really that hard up
53:02
for some fights. There isn't even any fucking
53:07
UFC that you can watch. Let's go fuck around.
53:13
Go do stuff. Go outside. It's nice. It's starting
53:19
to actually be nice. It is. The weather's getting
53:23
better. Being outside is good for your brain.
53:28
Man. Let's fucking wrap this shit up. I have
53:35
nothing to say about this card. Nothing positive,
53:38
anyway. I don't know. Molly McCann, she was entertaining
53:45
as a UFC fighter. So she has been, so far, as
53:53
a boxer. Also been pretty entertaining. The McCrail
53:59
Bros. It's not a good card. It's not. Not anymore.
54:09
Smith and Morrell were carrying that shit. I
54:14
had been telling our buddy Robbie, who's local
54:19
to the event. I was telling him, like, yeah,
54:22
you should go, man. How often is a guy like David
54:27
Morrell going to fight in your backyard? But
54:32
now, I'm grateful that he did not pull the trigger
54:36
on those tickets, because, like, fuck. You'd
54:41
be stuck with Ben Whittaker? Come on. Oh, yeah,
54:45
that'd be, that's a rough sell. It was very stinky.
54:50
Quite. Yeah. All right. Let's wrap this up. I've
54:55
got two things that I want to point out. I want
54:59
to hear what you think about boxing. I want to
55:02
hear what you think specifically about what constitutes
55:06
a world champion. BXNG .CO slash survey. I have
55:18
a litany of questions of like, is the ring a
55:23
world title? Is the IBO a valid world title?
55:27
How do you rank the IBF and the WBO and blah,
55:32
blah, blah? How do you rate them individually
55:34
in terms of prestige? What do you think of secondary
55:39
world titles? I ask all sorts of fucking questions
55:43
because I'm really curious to know what the boxing
55:45
public thinks. And, secondly, not unimportantly,
55:52
the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act
55:57
has, since we last spoke, has since passed the
56:03
House of Representatives and it is heading to
56:07
the Senate for a vote. It is imperative that
56:13
if you care about The sport of boxing. And you.
56:19
We know. Nobody here on this podcast would tell
56:24
you. That boxing. We know boxing has its problems.
56:29
We do. We know that like a lot better than the
56:32
average person. But. This legislation. Is not
56:38
going to fix it. It's going to fucking make it
56:40
worse. If you go to lvxmedia .net slash bsides,
56:48
there's a link right at the top that tells you
56:54
how to get in touch with your specific senators,
56:57
how to find them, and how to contact them. And
57:01
then if you need a blurb on what to say, I have
57:07
it there for you. I know for a fact. I know it
57:13
for an absolute fact. Legislators in the U .S.
57:17
pay attention to constituent phone calls and
57:21
constituent emails and constituent letters. I
57:25
know for a fact they pay attention to these things.
57:28
So if you send something to them, they're going
57:32
to read it. They're going to hear it. They're
57:36
going to know that you sent it. It is imperative
57:41
that if you want to prevent this legislation
57:44
from passing, which if you care about the sport
57:47
of boxing as it exists today, you want to prevent
57:51
it from passing. That's how you do it. It's a
57:56
lot to ask, I know. But if you care about this
58:00
sport, if you are listening to this fucking podcast,
58:04
if you're listening to my voice right now, you
58:06
care. So. That's how you do it. Sorry to ramble,
58:13
but it's important. Gentlemen, with all that
58:20
unhappy shit, parting words. Enjoy a nice walk
58:29
around your neighborhood this weekend. Call your
58:35
senators, text your senators, email your senators.
58:37
That's probably more important. show up to their
58:40
office and tell them how much this shit sucks.
58:45
Don't threaten them though. Tell them to vote
58:48
against it. I'm serious. They listen to it. I'm
58:52
serious. I know for a fact. I know one of my
58:57
senators personally. I know him. I could probably
59:02
call him right now. Depending on if he's in Arizona
59:07
or DC. Probably, well, given the hour that we're
59:12
at right now, probably not, but I could call
59:15
him. You know what I mean? I know for a fact
59:18
that they listen to this shit. I know they do.
59:24
We have to do, we have to do something. We have
59:28
to try at the very least. So sorry for bumming
59:32
you out. Fuck, fucking Calum Smith. Pulled out
59:36
of the fight. He fucking ruined our weekend.
59:39
Yep. All right. Enough bumming you out. That's
59:45
it for this edition of the Boxing B -Sides. Man,
59:50
tell me, call me up. Tell me what you did instead
59:55
of watching this bum -ass card.
