B-Side shit.
0:03
B-Side.
0:04
B-Side.
0:05
And the B-Side.
0:05
You got a B-Side.
0:07
The B-Side.
0:08
B-Side.

B-Side.
0:09
B-Side.
0:10
That B-Side thing.
0:11
This is the B-Sides Boxing Podcast.
0:24
OK.
0:26
All right.
0:27
Boxing B-Sides, we're back.
0:29
We are so back.
0:31
It's not Jover.
0:33
I think.
0:33
Is that how it goes?
0:35
It's so Jover.
0:37
But it's not quite a bit of box on the horizon.
0:44
Is it good?
0:45
That depends on how you define good.
0:48
But there is plenty of it.
0:50
So if you're a sicko out there, then I definitely got you covered this week.
0:55
I'm joined today.
0:57
Shinada, Isaac, how are we?
1:00
We are good.
1:02
I get free lunch at work today.
1:03
So it's a good day.
1:05
Free food always tastes better.
1:07
It does.
1:07
Yep.
1:08
Always.
1:08
Yeah.
1:10
I wanted to get this figured out.
1:13
I should have had this figured out before.
1:15
But before we get into all of the boxing news, I wanted to talk quickly on UFC Macau,
1:24
which took place a few weeks ago.
1:26
I really just wanted to go on that really bad knockout.
1:31
Xi Ming sent her previous opponent to the fucking hospital.
1:38
And initially, within the first day or two, reports were that she was doing OK.
1:45
But I haven't heard anything since.
1:47
Yeah, it was a really bad KO.
1:50
She was winning the fight, high kick, and just the way she fell and the way her neck was.
1:56
You don't really see that that often, even in other regional promotions.
1:59
But it was bad, real bad.
2:02
Yep.
2:02
I'm assuming she's still alive.
2:04
I feel like they would have said so.
2:05
If she died, they probably would have said something.
2:07
Yeah.
2:07
So it's not worst case scenario, at least.
2:10
Yeah, even I saw that knockout.
2:13
The internet has been pissed off at this poor woman for the quote unquote
2:18
grounded pound afterwards, and I was like, she hit her once.
2:21
And it's the UFC people.
2:23
Yeah, until the ref pulls you off, you don't stop.
2:26
Yeah.
2:27
The same shit happens in boxing.
2:28
They're just not on the ground.
2:30
Yeah.
2:31
Yeah.
2:32
This one was just stunning enough that the casuals saw it.
2:36
And I'm on Instagram and people were just so uninformed in the comments.
2:41
It was crazy.
2:43
Typical.
2:44
Fucking casuals.
2:45
Yeah, same people that were upset about Jake Paul and Mike Tyson
2:49
calling it a rigged or whatever.
2:51
Or what was it?
2:52
Scripted?
2:53
Yeah.
2:54
Well, this one, I think a lot of the tags or whatever they call them
2:58
these days also were female stuff.
3:00
So it was a bunch of girls that have probably never watched a fight
3:04
in their life commenting as well.
3:07
I see.
3:09
Embarrassing.
3:10
I would have thought that would be, well, maybe when it's that brutal
3:14
of a knockout, it might be a little bit off putting.
3:16
But because like she is small, she's intelligent.
3:22
She went through medical school.
3:23
So I think it's a great combo of her being kind of shy or reserved
3:30
in her manner while also being brutal.
3:34
Yeah.
3:35
And it's such an Asian story.
3:36
It does sound like something out of one of the comics.
3:39
Yeah, I hid that I'm a world class MMA fighter from my parents.
3:44
So I could finish medical school and make them proud.
3:47
Yep.
3:49
Yeah, I'm not able to find any more news on Shao Khan.
3:52
But like Isaac said, if something serious, if it got worse,
3:59
we probably would have heard by now.
4:02
Yeah.
4:02
Yeah, I think so.
4:04
And coming up on the 14th, we have Colby Covington versus Joaquin Buckley.
4:12
We talked about this one more extensively on Ultimate F&Casual,
4:15
if you want to head over there.
4:18
But for this one, is this would you call this like a boxing fan friendly event
4:25
or a fight at least?
4:26
I would say probably not, because like Covington, he knows.
4:32
I mean, he's not an idiot either.
4:33
I don't think he's going to try to stand up.
4:35
And he knows wrestling is probably the safest way to try to win
4:39
the fight against Buckley.
4:41
So it could be a lot of like, you know, like it could be like a
4:45
wrestle heavy approach from Covington, just trying to keep Buckley down
4:49
so he doesn't have his base.
4:50
So I would not say that this is boxing friendly or like friendly to boxing fans.
4:57
Yeah.
4:59
But there could be a really nice KO.
5:01
Buckley has insane power, so potential, potential to see a nice KO at least.
5:07
Yeah, because Buckley, the way I described him over there,
5:10
and I have a few times on the MMA show was that he the way he moves is
5:16
he I'm not saying he is of this same like striking or boxing caliber,
5:22
but the way his explosiveness and athleticism are reminiscent of like
5:27
prime Tyson, that he's not nearly as refined as Tyson.
5:32
Please do not come from me in the comments.
5:35
But the way he moves, the way he tries to set up his shots is very much
5:40
of that type.
5:42
Yeah, I would not want to fight Buckley.
5:44
That is a as a unit.
5:46
Yeah, that's a unit.
5:49
Oh, man, from what I understand, moving into some boxing news,
5:55
I heard that Vladimir Klitschko was thinking about coming back to fight
5:59
Daniel Dubois and as awesome as Klitschko was in his time,
6:06
he's also coming up on 50 and Dubois just demonstrated he is absolutely
6:11
not someone to take lightly.
6:13
So yeah, I hope this is just a stupid rumor.
6:18
Yeah, I don't want to see this.
6:20
I'm not trying to see someone like you said, 50 years old almost.
6:23
I'm not trying to see. He was already like pretty much.
6:26
You know, how we usually say like in the hamper.
6:28
Yeah, it's AJ.
6:29
Man, this is like years later.
6:32
It could be like really, really bad now, especially against Dubois.
6:35
Dubois is like young.
6:37
I don't know if it's a if hampered is crossed over,
6:41
but should not have like hampered is like if someone is a is that they're not
6:46
washed yet, but they're in the hamper getting ready to go in the wash.
6:50
I see. I see.
6:51
A Leo original.
6:55
But yeah, Vlad K was definitely hamper status when he fought AJ.
7:00
But yeah, that's good. I like that one. Nice.
7:02
Yeah, I hope this isn't true.
7:07
Just really quickly, Dubois, Usyk, was that a low blow?
7:12
Recaps, we only got fucking one card
7:16
and there's only just not very many fights on it to talk about
7:22
that at least I say it every time.
7:24
If you want to talk about British shit, fucking go to the discord.
7:27
There are plenty of UK homies over there that can oblige you.
7:31
But I got Callum Smith.
7:32
Mundo stops Carlos Galvan in the fifth.
7:36
This is an eight rounder.
7:37
What is happening with Callum Smith?
7:40
Yeah. Well, they didn't even announce who he was fighting
7:44
until like the day before the fight.
7:45
Yeah, it was a last minute pick.
7:48
So this is a nothing burger fight.
7:51
I think this is just like a like a stepping stone.
7:53
Obviously, like stay busy.
7:55
News came out about.
7:56
Yeah, news came out about him later on about Callum Smith.
7:59
But yeah, this was just like a stay busy fight.
8:02
Just would have expected it to be better.
8:04
Like what's you have their ranking number here, right?
8:08
Like the Galvan guy was four hundred and fifty nine.
8:11
Yeah, it's those are the numbers that I have on the outline
8:15
are there where they're listed on box rec.
8:17
So, you know, grain of boxing salt, I suppose.
8:23
Yeah, but six versus four hundred and fifty nine is pretty.
8:27
Yeah, it's pretty bad.
8:29
It's a pretty big step up.
8:30
That used to be a joke that we I remember we used a lot
8:36
that people used on the Internet a lot when PBC first came out
8:40
and they're talking about how Al Hayman's paying them
8:44
a whole bunch of money to fight.
8:45
Nobody's like page five on box rec four hundred fifty fifth from box rec.
8:50
Like, man, like, shut the fuck up.
8:52
Your favorites are doing the same thing.
8:54
So take it easy. Yeah.
8:56
Yeah, I had been excited to see Callum Smith until they didn't
9:01
announce who he was fighting until way too late.
9:04
I knew this was going to be nothing like weeks ago.
9:08
Yeah, we'll definitely be seeing more of him, though.
9:11
Of course, Calum Smith on the front, because he moved up and wait, right?
9:16
From I'm really bad at remembering.
9:18
Yeah, he's at 175.
9:20
He got sort of steamrolled by better be a light heavyweight.
9:24
That was real bad.
9:25
Oh, yeah, I forgot.
9:26
There's a terrible one, I guess.
9:27
Kind of marking time until better be of disappears.
9:31
Got to be soon, right?
9:33
Yeah, they've got one last one last hurrah in February.
9:37
That's it. I don't know.
9:39
I'm a little bit tepid just because, you know, yeah, we have to get the annual
9:43
like better be of injury still.
9:47
So I could delay moving up here.
9:51
Gavin Gwynn, I think, is kind of a thing over on the front.
9:54
Is kind of a thing over on the British scene.
9:56
But Cameron Blanc, I've been following his career on paper.
10:01
So I just wanted to continue the trend here.
10:04
Gets the UD still undefeated.
10:06
Go for it, Cameron.
10:08
I know I've watched this whole card twice and I don't remember any of these fights.
10:13
It was not very exciting.
10:15
Yeah, these are just ones that I remember on paper, man.
10:18
That's it.
10:19
It was not that good.
10:20
No, this was a really, really bad card.
10:24
Headlining said shit to your card.
10:27
Sonny Edwards versus Galalia Fye.
10:30
I didn't write down the fucking result, but Sonny Edwards just wimped out.
10:36
Went out on a I don't know what fucking sad note.
10:40
Yeah, it really is the sad note.
10:42
At the end of the first round, he's in the corner saying, I don't even want to be here.
10:47
Yeah, like I'm not a huge fan of Sonny Edwards, but it just kind of made me sad.
10:55
Yeah, they should have almost canceled this fight ahead of time.
10:58
Everybody knew that he didn't want to be there.
11:01
Like they tried to play it up as Sonny Edwards was being respectful in the buildup.
11:08
Because Sonny Edwards usually talks a lot of trash.
11:11
It's kind of what he does.
11:13
Yeah.
11:14
Yeah, that was the first sign that something was wrong.
11:17
He just got ran over.
11:20
I feel like there's no other way to put it.
11:22
He sort of just got ran over in the fight.
11:24
And I'm going to be honest, I didn't know who Galalia was.
11:26
I have never seen him fight.
11:28
And you're not missing a whole lot.
11:30
Sonny made him look like, you know, fucking better.
11:35
Yeah, it was like what the fuck was up with Sonny Edwards.
11:41
He retired immediately afterwards saying like, I'm just not that interested in doing this anymore.
11:47
It sounds like he's got like other jobs lined up and stuff.
11:52
Yeah, I think he was going to be a commentator.
11:54
Commentary, yeah, at some level.
11:57
And he's got like new kids, like infants.
12:02
I kind of wonder if that bad cut didn't sort of set this whole thing off.
12:11
The one with his in his last fight.
12:15
Yeah, like that left a really bad scar, too.
12:19
I just wonder if, you know, if I got cut like that, I wouldn't want to go back to boxing.
12:25
And he had other things lined up and he probably didn't train all that great and his head wasn't in the right space.
12:31
He is like fully retired now, right?
12:34
So he says we're not going to see him again.
12:36
I mean, I did see like Eddie Hearn put something out second.
12:39
Oh, it's not over yet or something.
12:42
I don't know.
12:43
The Eddie Hearn thing was was about other parts of boxing.
12:47
Like, I think the commentating and that sort of thing, because he's like, you still have a future in the sport or something.
12:54
Yeah, he's not retiring from the sport completely, just retiring from in-ring activity.
13:01
Yeah, OK. He should not be allowed to fight anymore.
13:05
That's how bad this was.
13:07
I don't like any of the Yifis either.
13:11
But I mean, Golal Yifai came out really fast.
13:15
Steamrolled them, like you said.
13:17
But I don't know if this performance says anything about Yifai.
13:21
Yeah, I'm sure we get a decent name.
13:24
We were talking about matching him up.
13:27
How about Yifai, like his next matchup?
13:29
Taraji? Yeah, Taraji.
13:32
Taraji eats him for lunch.
13:34
Yeah, that's the conclusion we came to.
13:37
But like, I mean, it's one of those.
13:39
This is like one of those fake performances.
13:41
Yeah, people are going to make more of it than it really is.
13:44
Yeah, yeah.
13:45
And they always talk up his gold medal so much.
13:48
And like gold medals are impressive.
13:50
Don't get me wrong, but I don't think it really matters in the professionals.
13:55
Yeah, I mean, amateurs are different.
13:57
It's a cool achievement, but amateurs are.
13:59
It's a different, practically different sport.
14:02
Yeah, Jilala is going to get fraud checked in the pros.
14:05
Fucking Yoko got fraud checked pretty quickly.
14:08
Kyoguchi would be a good one.
14:10
Kyoguchi is small for 112, which I see how funny that would seem.
14:17
But he's not like very heavy handed.
14:21
It's not.
14:22
Jilala would not be at risk of getting knocked out or anything
14:25
while still having a respectable opponent.
14:27
I just like Kyoguchi.
14:29
Me too.
14:30
I think he would probably beat Yafai, so I'm all for it.
14:34
Yeah, I didn't want to play that card right away.
14:38
It's like, how many losses can we give Yafai here before he fucks off?
14:45
Well, that's it for the fucking card in Birmingham.
14:48
Leon Edwards was there, so that's fun.
14:52
It's going to be a UFC card in London, I think.
14:57
Yeah, confirmed he will be there, but we don't know against who yet.
15:01
But that's it for reviews.
15:03
There's a lot of stuff, but it's not.
15:06
How you define good will determine how good this week is going to be.
15:11
Starting on Wednesday, December 11th, a match room in Australia
15:19
at the Fortitude Music Hall in Queensland.
15:22
There's a few on here.
15:24
I picked up three of them.
15:26
Tyler Blizzard versus Cheng Cheng Yang, because that name is excellent.
15:31
I was just going to say which name though.
15:33
They're both excellent.
15:35
It's just a wonderful name match up there.
15:37
Justice Hooney, he's coming back out versus Leandro Robuti.
15:42
And this, I think Connor Wallace is a match room, another match room guy.
15:47
Like Justice Hooney is a match room promoted guy.
15:49
And I think Connor Wallace is as well versus Acemale Wellem.
15:53
Those are light heavyweights.
15:55
I have not heard of these people.
15:58
I know of Justice Hooney.
16:00
Yeah, I've heard of him.
16:02
I meant the main event.
16:04
Cheng Cheng is like Tonga, Tonga, Tonga.
16:07
Same shit.
16:09
Fucking I love you.
16:10
I don't even know you, but you're the best.
16:12
Moving on in the US, Pro Box.
16:17
Even though you may not know who these people are,
16:20
chances are likely that there's going to be some solid match ups here.
16:23
Pro Box does that very well.
16:26
They always have competitive fights.
16:28
That Japanese guy in the...
16:31
Ko-Mane?
16:32
Yeah.
16:33
He fought on Pro Box before and got that really surprising knockout
16:38
because I don't think he'd ever had a knockout before.
16:41
He just overworked the guy and it was totally accumulation
16:45
and he stopped him in I think like the second last round.
16:48
So I'm excited to see him again.
16:50
Pro Box has these hidden gems, right?
16:53
And you know, it's on a Wednesday, of course, we welcome it.
16:55
And it's free.
16:56
Yeah, free on YouTube.
16:58
That's right.
16:59
Jesus Rubio was the guy he stopped.
17:02
This guy's from LA or he grew up in LA.
17:05
I think in a really Mexican neighborhood
17:09
because his nickname is the Japanese firework, El Cuete Japonesito.
17:14
Nice.
17:15
Oh my God.
17:16
That's fantastic.
17:17
So there you go.
17:19
He's, if nothing else, that should be a good fight in the Ko-Mane.
17:23
And headlining it is Jonathan Cardoso versus Eduardo Ramirez.
17:29
Ten round lightweights.
17:31
That's your Wednesday.
17:33
Thursday, December 12th.
17:36
Salida Promotions in Flint, Michigan.
17:39
There's only two fights on this card that I wanted to point out.
17:42
And there's Joey Spencer.
17:43
He's still campaigning at middleweight.
17:45
He's fighting Miguel Hernandez.
17:49
And headlining this one is local favorite, Ardriel Holmes
17:54
versus Edwin Humane, Super Welters.
17:58
So Ardriel still climbing his way up the ladder.
18:03
Just someone to keep on your radar.
18:07
This one I don't have a whole lot of info on
18:10
because I don't know who these guys are.
18:12
This is United Fight Promotions or something like that.
18:16
This one's in Toronto.
18:18
The headliner is IBF or IBO 154 pounds.
18:23
So this is a fringe title, but it's still this guy's climbing up the ranks as well.
18:30
Sukhdeep Bhatti versus Uesma Lima.
18:33
It's not a bad matchup from what I've been able to gather about those two.
18:37
So that's fun.
18:38
And there you go.
18:39
That's Thursday.
18:40
How you watch these Salida will be on the zone.
18:45
I'm pretty sure.
18:47
And the United one, I'm not sure how to watch that yet.
18:51
But if you're in discord, I can definitely make sure you're aware when it starts.
18:56
Okay, moving on.
18:58
Friday, December 13th.
19:01
Very good friend of mine's birthday.
19:03
Happy birthday.
19:04
Yeah. Happy birthday.
19:06
Doubt she's going to listen to this, but whatever.
19:09
Put it out there for her.
19:10
In Santa Inez, California at the Chumash Casino.
19:15
Carlos Balderas is the only one that I'm bringing up
19:18
because I don't really know who the other ones are.
19:21
First, Cesar Villarraga.
19:23
Balderas was an Olympian.
19:26
I don't think he...he's not a gold medalist.
19:29
I don't even think he medaled, but he still was an American Olympian.
19:34
Came in with a lot of hype and it looked like things were going really well for him
19:38
until I think he got stopped.
19:40
It was a really bad stoppage and he had trouble rebounding from it.
19:45
Yeah, I don't recognize this guy's face either.
19:48
Also, same day at the Caribe Royale in Orlando.
19:53
The promoter's box lab, whatever the fuck that is,
19:56
but this is Most Valuable Promotions.
20:00
This is their prospect series.
20:02
Oh, yeah.
20:04
Looking at some of the fighters now, yeah.
20:06
Yeah.
20:08
I'm hopeful that they're matching up their guys pretty well.
20:12
The headliner, Antonio Vargas, 18-1 vs. Winston Guerrero, 22-0.
20:18
Not a bad matchup.
20:20
Giovanni Estella, 14-1 vs. Jackson Blanco, 7-0.
20:24
So, all pretty good, I think.
20:27
Is that one ESPN?
20:29
No, Dazone.
20:30
Ah, nice.
20:31
Yeah.
20:34
Let me start with Saturday, December 14th.
20:38
This is a matchroom card, so it'll be on Dazone.
20:41
Chavon Clark vs. Leonardo Mosqueda.
20:44
Chances are likely that he got picked for a reason,
20:47
but if you lose, you have to change your name.
20:50
You motherfucker, you better not lose.
20:53
Fucking making me look bad.
20:55
Chavon Clark is whatever, but EBU cruiserweight title is on the line there.
21:00
MJ Akhmadaliev in the co-main.
21:04
It's not that he's back, because he already had a comeback fight against, I think, a 22-0 guy.
21:09
Then he won that on the Sonny Edwards vs. Bam undercard.
21:13
I like MJ.
21:15
Yeah.
21:16
People say he's boring, but I think he's fun to watch.
21:20
He's fine.
21:21
Yeah, I still think MJ's a good fight for her, in a way.
21:25
Yeah, I think he's about the only one left at that weight class that anyone cares about.
21:29
Pretty much.
21:31
So that's the matchroom card in Monte Carlo.
21:34
Gary Cooley vs. Maxie Hughes is on it.
21:38
Beatrice Fajera vs. Alicia Boudersa.
21:42
Boudersa, I think it is.
21:44
IBF lightweights.
21:46
Not bad.
21:47
Not a bad night.
21:48
Now, boxer in Liverpool.
21:51
This one's being headlined by Natasha Jonas, unifying her belt with Ivana Habazin.
21:58
Those are welterweights.
22:00
And then I picked up Stephen McKenna vs. Lee Cutler.
22:03
WBC International Silver.
22:06
That's like three steps removed from being remotely worth anything.
22:10
But I know the name McKenna.
22:13
He's being pushed a little bit, I think, McKenna.
22:17
Probably.
22:18
But that's the boxer card.
22:20
Those two are starting about the same time.
22:23
So I would probably watch the Monte Carlo one over this.
22:27
Let's move on to fucking Marv Nation.
22:31
This one I am trying to find.
22:34
There's a lot of TVA's on this.
22:37
Yes, there are.
22:38
But this one, there were two I wanted to point out.
22:40
Fernando Vargas Jr.
22:42
Another one of the Fighting Vargas brothers vs. Matthew Terry.
22:46
And Mark McSio is on it.
22:48
Opponent yet to be determined.
22:50
We interrupt our program to bring you this important message.
22:54
Like a day or so after we recorded this, the opponent for Mark McSio was announced.
23:01
It's Brian Mercado.
23:04
He's 11, 6, and 1.
23:06
It's going to be six rounds at 135.
23:10
So lightweight.
23:11
Not sure if this is a permanent move for Mark, but we'll see.
23:16
And just a fun bit of trivia.
23:19
Mercado is a number 666 on box reg.
23:24
So that's fun.
23:25
There you go.
23:26
That's Marv Nation.
23:28
Marv.
23:29
Marv Nation is such a hilarious name.
23:32
That's great.
23:34
Okay.
23:36
Golden Boy.
23:37
The undercard is already announced, but like, well.
23:43
Alexis Rocha is headlining against Raul Curiel.
23:47
Fun.
23:48
Tomorrow.
23:50
You'll see.
23:51
Tomorrow.
23:54
Okay.
23:55
Still, we're still on December 14th.
23:58
Motherfucking Zanfur.
24:02
Oh my god.
24:03
This is what dreams are made of.
24:06
I am so excited.
24:08
Alan Picasso versus Isak Saki.
24:11
Super bantams.
24:13
Picasso.
24:15
Sorry, buddy.
24:16
Like you're going to get turned into a Picasso if you step your competition up.
24:20
There's only one direction that you can go when it comes to title aspirations.
24:26
Do they legitimately have him ranked number four?
24:29
Box reg.
24:30
ELO.
24:31
You know, just the points system.
24:34
I don't know what whatever.
24:37
I hope you don't get yourself into a title shot anytime soon.
24:41
It's not going to go very well.
24:44
I mean, Sam Goodman is getting a shot.
24:47
It's not honestly, I think Sam Goodman and Picasso here are about similar in what level
24:53
they're at.
24:54
All right.
24:55
Comane.
24:56
Carlos Castillo versus Juan Ramon Guzman.
24:59
Those are welters and headlining Jaime Munguia versus Bruno.
25:04
Cannot figure out if it's Soros, Sorosi, Sorosay, Sorach.
25:08
Soracha.
25:09
Soracha.
25:10
Fuck yeah.
25:11
I have no idea.
25:12
No.
25:13
Why is this happening?
25:14
Kakachi turned out to be the thing.
25:16
So we're going with it.
25:17
Bruno Sorachi.
25:18
I don't know much about Bruno's, which I think is really telling.
25:25
I've never seen him.
25:26
Yeah.
25:27
I didn't know who he was.
25:28
I don't know what Munguia is doing.
25:29
Having a fight at home?
25:30
Yeah.
25:31
I mean, he already has fought at home a few times.
25:34
I sort of understand.
25:35
I feel like this sort of takes away the steam from what he had going after Canelo.
25:39
And he just came off a pretty decent fight.
25:42
With Bazinian.
25:43
Yeah, yeah.
25:44
That was actually a decent performance for him.
25:48
It was.
25:49
But I don't know what he's doing.
25:52
I mean, I guess this is just like a stay busy fight.
25:54
But I don't know.
25:55
I mean, there's better fights to make it 168.
25:57
I sort of don't know what he's doing.
25:59
He's beating up a Frenchman is what he's doing, which I'm all for.
26:04
I hadn't realized this guy's...
26:06
Is he French?
26:07
Yeah, he's from France.
26:08
He's never fought outside of France.
26:10
Holy shit.
26:11
According to Boxrec.
26:12
And he's going to be in for a culture shock in Tijuana.
26:16
He's not going to know what to do.
26:20
Marseille is a port city.
26:25
So there's probably hooligans there, but I don't know if it's the same as TJ.
26:29
He's going to find out.
26:32
I don't know, man.
26:36
McGee has to...
26:37
It's all right.
26:38
They're trying to boost that win record or whatever, but we got to start getting some of these fights.
26:41
Then at 168.
26:43
There is a lot still at 168 for him to do.
26:46
Like Berlenga, I think is still a good fight for Munguia to take.
26:51
Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of people.
26:53
I mean, there's Pacheco, Plant.
26:55
Embilie, Glisias.
26:58
Yeah, there's a lot here.
27:00
And this isn't the move.
27:02
Where's this guy at?
27:03
51.
27:05
Could you at least keep it in the top 25?
27:08
Being the dude's a favor here.
27:09
Yeah, he's going to knock this dude out immediately.
27:13
Yeah, he fucking better.
27:15
He better.
27:17
He has to.
27:19
He's undefeated, but he's 25 wins, four knockouts.
27:26
This was a very pointed decision to fight him.
27:29
Very low risk.
27:30
Yeah, looks good on paper, though.
27:33
Maybe he didn't want to take a real fight and potentially miss out on making the next fight.
27:40
Do you know what I mean?
27:41
Like you need a no injuries fight just to stay busy.
27:45
I guess, yeah, like a low risk, stay busy fight.
27:49
Trying to get to 45 wins as well.
27:51
I said it's better for promotion.
27:53
Yeah, I don't know.
27:54
This isn't what we want to be seeing.
27:56
I like Munguia.
27:57
This isn't what we want to see.
27:59
Yeah, for sure.
28:00
I've come around on Munguia as well.
28:02
But yeah, this is disappointing.
28:04
I'll give him a pass on this one saying it's your promoter, your manager, not you.
28:09
Yeah, I can't imagine that Munguia really says much about who he's fighting.
28:14
I mean, he's not making that much money.
28:16
He could make way more money fighting the other dudes.
28:18
I guess he got a taste of that kind of money, but yeah, this is not it.
28:22
But there you go.
28:23
That's December 14th.
28:24
It's a big day of boxing.
28:25
Not a whole lot of headline marquee stuff.
28:29
And this December 15th is the day we're going to be recording.
28:36
So we're not going to...
28:38
These will have happened by the time we sit down.
28:42
So to preview them is to first platform sports.
28:48
It's going to be in Gibraltar at the Europa Point Sports Complex.
28:53
Dillion White versus Ebenezer Tete.
28:57
This is just wonderful.
28:59
Keep doing this, Dillion White.
29:01
I hope there's no fans allowed in this one too.
29:04
No fucking fans allowed in Dillion White fights anymore.
29:09
His comeback.
29:10
Second comeback.
29:12
Rain at Heavyweight.
29:14
I just can't think of White anymore without imagining Pavek laying him out.
29:20
I know he pissed hot and everything, but it was still hilarious.
29:27
Yeah, it's the same thing as Devin Haney with Ryan Garcia.
29:31
So what if he fucking pissed hot?
29:33
He still laid you on your ass.
29:35
Yeah, he got deleted.
29:37
This Tete guys gone and they're usually half...
29:42
Yeah, the fighting countries that we all know of like Ghana, Cameroon, Nigeria,
29:49
Senegal to an extent.
29:51
I saw one of his fights in Africa, man.
29:54
It looked rough.
29:55
White should win this, but if he loses, it's time to hang him up.
29:59
It's time to hang him up.
30:00
Yeah, they're being really delicate with his rebuild.
30:03
If you scroll down far enough on this Tete guys box wreck, he fought at the prison canteen in Accra.
30:11
Oh, I'm telling you, you need to search up one of his fights on YouTube, man.
30:14
It's like straight up...
30:15
There were spectators there, but it was only the ones on their bikes going on their way to work.
30:21
It was pretty funny.
30:24
Yeah, one fight at Seaward Fishing Park.
30:29
That sounds like they just put a ring up in a park.
30:32
I will have you...
30:34
I will mention though that I've had that happen nearby me.
30:39
I think it was Oscar Valdez that fought there as the headline.
30:43
Oh, shit.
30:45
That would be interesting.
30:47
It was kind of like you can walk up and you can watch from the street.
30:51
Kind of if you find the right angle because of the bleachers or whatever.
30:55
But it was...
30:57
I'm trying to remember what it was.
30:59
I think it was like in October or November.
31:02
And it was the park that they were at was...
31:06
It's like the Veterans Memorial Park or some shit.
31:10
So I think it was one of those extra discounts for veterans and family.
31:16
Okay.
31:18
And Oscar Valdez put on a show for us.
31:21
Nice.
31:23
This Tete dude fought Daniel Dubois.
31:26
Got knocked out in the first round.
31:31
His only loss, he's 23 and 1.
31:34
His only loss is to Dubois.
31:36
He's only been beaten by elite heavyweights.
31:40
This is true.
31:42
Which means White should lose.
31:44
But we'll see.
31:46
We'll see.
31:49
Oh, man.
31:50
Dillion White.
31:52
I remember hearing a lot of how Deontay Wilder does not rate a fight with AJ
31:58
if he can't beat Dillion White.
32:00
That Dillion White should have first shot at Wilder.
32:04
I remember Dillion White being like a deal for a while.
32:08
And then Povetkin happened.
32:10
Completely erased any semblance of hype.
32:14
And he came back to stop Povetkin in the next one.
32:19
But it doesn't change what happened.
32:22
The way he just had his soul uppercutted out of his body.
32:26
That was such a movie scene.
32:28
It really is.
32:30
The way he landed as well was sort of comical.
32:33
It was all a brown real bad.
32:36
And then Fury did him in too.
32:39
It was just, yeah.
32:41
I forgot he even fought Fury, to be honest.
32:45
Again, you got uppercutted to hell too there, right?
32:48
Yeah, I think so.
32:49
I stand by this just because it's fun to poke at the Fury fans.
32:53
But if you see it, if you play it back, you'll see Tyson Fury hits the shot that puts
33:02
Dillion White's lights out, he's very clearly out of it.
33:06
But Fury kind of pushes him.
33:08
And that's where he falls, is from the push.
33:11
He was rocked.
33:13
He was dead.
33:14
He was straight up dead on his feet.
33:16
The push is what put him to the ground.
33:18
Yeah.
33:19
Doesn't change it.
33:20
Dillion White got his ass kicked.
33:22
It's just fun for poking fun at Fury fans.
33:25
That's it for that card.
33:26
I don't know what else is on it, and I honestly don't care.
33:30
I'm having trouble caring about Dillion White being on it, but I'll get there eventually.
33:36
I kind of feel bad for him now.
33:38
I wonder how much he's getting paid for this.
33:42
Yes.
33:45
The free travel accommodation and accommodations are covered plus 25% off breakfast buffet.
33:54
He gets Wi-Fi?
33:55
Yeah, you get Wi-Fi included as well.
33:59
All right.
34:01
Moving on.
34:02
Same day.
34:03
This one starts at like 1 in the morning on the West Coast on Sunday, December 15th.
34:11
So it's a Japanese card in Osaka.
34:14
I got a ticket to this one.
34:17
Yeah.
34:18
I'm not sure who all I'm looking at here.
34:22
I don't recognize any of the names.
34:25
Okay, cool.
34:26
The only one we really want to talk about then is Ryosuke Nishida, the IBF Bantamweight Champion versus Anuchai Donsua, who's rated 14th in the IBF.
34:38
I don't think this counts as a mandatory.
34:40
No.
34:41
I just wanted to see Nishida, and I wanted to go to a fight in Osaka because everybody tells me that the crowd is very rowdy in Osaka.
34:51
I have my doubts, but...
34:53
Yeah, because it's going to be Sunday.
34:54
Yeah, I don't know that that matters a whole bunch.
34:57
Everybody just goes to work hung over here all the time.
35:02
Also, I think the fight starts at like 2 in the afternoon, so you'll have time to sober up.
35:07
Starts at 2.
35:08
Oh, yeah, the card starts at 2 in the afternoon.
35:10
But yeah, main event is a little while later.
35:14
Yeah, yeah.
35:16
But no, I'm excited, but I don't recognize any of these people.
35:20
I think Nishida is fighting in Osaka because he had some deal before he got that world title that he was not supposed to win.
35:30
That's right.
35:32
That's right.
35:34
No, I think this should be pretty good.
35:36
I don't think I complained on the podcast.
35:39
So Inoue versus Goodman is over twice as expensive as all the other Inoue fights have been, I guess because it's Christmas Eve.
35:49
So my reserved seating A is what I usually buy, and it's usually 33,000 yen.
35:58
But this time it's 77,000 yen.
36:02
So I don't know if I'm even going to bother.
36:05
That is a lot of fucking money.
36:07
I don't give a shit to watch Inoue beat up some Australian guy again.
36:14
I did last time.
36:15
Pretty no hoper is really the problem.
36:19
Yeah, and even like the undercard, there's nobody that I haven't already seen.
36:25
So I think I might just pass on that one, especially since with train tickets in a hotel and stuff, this Osaka fight is going to be kind of expensive.
36:33
And I really want to get a ticket to Martina Zioka.
36:39
Oh, yeah, that rematch.
36:41
I hope the judges are better this time.
36:46
Yeah, everybody on Discord was like, Ioka didn't win a round and stuff.
36:53
And I was like, guys, I was there live, but like it's different live and I'm very biased, but I thought it was a really close fight.
37:02
I thought it was at the very least more competitive than 12 to nothing.
37:07
Yeah.
37:08
Well, I'm exaggerating for a fact.
37:11
People were, I don't know, didn't disagree too much.
37:15
Yeah.
37:16
Yeah.
37:17
One 16, 112.
37:18
Eh, probably.
37:19
But whatever.
37:22
Ioka Osaka boy got done dirty.
37:26
Yeah.
37:29
Yeah, this sports complex thing that they're in doesn't look very big either.
37:33
So it should be really good seats.
37:36
Nishida lives in Osaka.
37:41
I don't think that's where he's from.
37:43
Says he's from Nara.
37:45
Yeah.
37:46
Which isn't very far, I don't think.
37:48
Man, that's so yeah.
37:50
That's it for the Japanese car.
37:52
Muto Promotions.
37:55
Right.
37:56
Muto, the boxing gym.
37:58
Muto is putting it on.
38:00
Yeah.
38:01
I forgot they do that.
38:03
Yeah, I looked up this place and all I got, I was trying to get a picture of the venue
38:08
and all I got was like how to walk there and what to look for because it's apparently,
38:14
it doesn't stand out that much.
38:16
Yeah.
38:17
And it's like really on the outskirts of Osaka.
38:19
Yeah.
38:20
I might get very lost.
38:21
It also sounds like it's just like a community center.
38:25
Yeah, that's what it looks like.
38:27
This looks like a YMCA.
38:28
Yeah, that's what it is.
38:29
Yeah.
38:30
Which is why I'm kind of excited like this.
38:33
I'm going to be so close.
38:35
You could throw a pewter at him.
38:37
I bought those reserved seating A again, which is usually the front of the bleachers.
38:46
Like it's not ringside, but it's the next thing.
38:50
And I picked up my ticket yesterday and I'm in like row two again.
38:55
So it's going to be awesome.
38:57
Which is going to be like KFC.
39:02
Classic.
39:03
Yeah.
39:04
I forgot they do that.
39:06
I fucking hate.
39:10
They taste awful.
39:12
Well, well, well, how much of that shit is going to make the final?
39:18
Do you want to know about that stuff?
39:21
Man, you should probably check out Patreon.
39:23
It'd be a really good idea for you.
39:29
Or one last thing before we get out of here.
39:31
The fucking February 22nd in Riyadh better be a people rematch.
39:38
It's another crazy stacked card subject to change in case, you know, better be
39:44
his fucking leg explodes again.
39:46
Who knows?
39:47
But let's just really quickly from the bottom based on the box reckless anyway.
39:55
G. Lee Jung, Big Bang vs Ajit Kabir for the WBC interim heavyweight title.
40:02
Very cool.
40:03
Shakur Stevenson vs Floyd Schofield for the WBC lightweight.
40:07
Yeah.
40:08
I don't know how I feel about that.
40:11
I think this is going to be a boring ass fight.
40:13
This is fine. This is like the time to go refill your drinks.
40:17
Joshua Boazzi vs Callum Smith.
40:22
Oh, that's why he was.
40:23
He had like a little bit of a snoozer for this WBC interim light heavyweight on
40:30
the line here for I think Boazzi already holds that one.
40:34
Yeah, I want Callum Smith to win this one, but I don't I don't think he will.
40:40
I don't think he'll get steamrolled, but I do think Boazzi will win.
40:44
Yeah, I've been saying it his entire career.
40:46
The old Mr. Burns thing.
40:48
Are they saying boo?
40:50
No, they're saying boo earns.
40:52
Yeah, they're saying booz.
40:55
Virgil Ortiz vs Israel Madrimov interim WBC Super Welter.
41:03
Very cool. Very, very good fight.
41:05
They cooked.
41:06
Yeah, that's a good one.
41:08
Moving up Carlos Adamas vs Hamza Shiraz WBC title on the line.
41:13
Middleweights.
41:14
Adamas is the champ.
41:15
Hamza Shiraz has been the number one contender for quite some time.
41:20
So about time they settled that.
41:23
I'm excited.
41:24
Yeah, I'm not sure how Adamas is going to fare with this one.
41:28
Hamza is a fucking unit for middleweight.
41:30
Yeah, Hamza should win.
41:32
I was honestly a little bit pissed at Hamza with the whole like negotiations with
41:35
Johnny Beck falling through, but this is like this is still good.
41:38
Honestly, it might even be better.
41:40
Better for Hamza.
41:42
If I were to.
41:43
Yeah, yeah.
41:44
Yeah.
41:45
If I were Hamza and I was looking at Adamas or Johnny Beck, I'd pick Adamas too.
41:51
Yeah, this is just make the Johnny Beck fight.
41:53
Better.
41:54
That much bigger.
41:55
Yeah.
41:56
Yeah, absolutely.
41:57
Okay, co-main Daniel Dubois defends his IBF title versus Joseph Parker.
42:05
Man, that guy continues to get the shots.
42:08
Yeah, a lot of people have been talking shit about Parker getting this fight, but.
42:13
It's fine.
42:14
I think he's.
42:15
Yeah, I think he's.
42:17
He's not undeserving.
42:19
Yeah, he's worked his way back up to the top.
42:22
Right.
42:23
I mean, he beat Wilder.
42:24
He beat Jang.
42:26
Yeah, I mean, Jang is like one win away from, you know, deserving a title shot.
42:32
Yes.
42:33
WBC interim.
42:34
Parker has decent wins.
42:35
This is not undeserved.
42:36
But I favor Dubois, but I'm not going to be like super shocked if Parker wins either.
42:41
But Dubois should win.
42:43
Same way with.
42:44
Yeah, I agree.
42:46
Yeah.
42:47
Wouldn't surprise me if Parker was able to turn in a vintage performance.
42:51
Yeah.
42:52
Arthur Petrovich, the undisputed question mark light heavyweight champion versus Demetri Bevil.
43:00
Very disputed.
43:02
Right.
43:03
The disputed heavyweight champion versus Demetri Bevil.
43:08
Bevil won that first fight.
43:11
I don't care what anybody says.
43:13
Same.
43:14
Yeah, I don't.
43:15
I'm going to quote Mickey from Rocky, Rocky 2 right at the beginning.
43:20
I don't care what those judges said.
43:22
This is the man that won the fight.
43:24
Yeah, I was shocked when they announced that one.
43:29
The whole bar was shocked when they announced that one.
43:32
That's always fun when the entire world goes, what the fuck?
43:37
And yeah, Lone Voice and Riyadh.
43:41
Arthur Petrovich saying, yeah, I did it.
43:43
He was shocked.
43:44
He didn't think he did it either.
43:46
Yeah.
43:47
I think the idea of black magic is what that was.
43:50
Yeah, I was watching in the bar in Tokyo with, they're generally old men and a lot of them
43:57
don't understand English.
43:59
So they have to, they can't understand the guy announcing so they wait to see whose hand
44:07
get raised.
44:08
But I reacted first because of course I can understand what they're saying and they all
44:13
looked at me and did the like, huh?
44:16
Nani?
44:17
Yeah.
44:18
Yeah.
44:19
I was shocked.
44:20
Especially after hearing the scorecards too.
44:22
I thought the whole pretty much had it made.
44:25
Yeah.
44:26
But we'll see.
44:27
I don't know.
44:28
This second one better because it's gonna be older.
44:30
I mean, we'll see if he even makes it to fight night.
44:32
I'm sure an injury might even delay the fight.
44:35
But regardless, this card is very good.
44:37
Yeah.
44:38
If you took out the undisputed fight, it's still a really good card.
44:42
Yeah.
44:43
I said it before in the chat, like you could take out two of these fights.
44:47
It's still like part one of the best cards in recent history.
44:51
Yep.
44:52
Absolutely.
44:53
Apparently, Turkey had two other fights he wanted to put on this card and the promoter
44:58
said no.
44:59
Put them on the Firi Usik card.
45:01
But I guess, I guess the Firi Usik like purses were already outrageous.
45:05
So they didn't want to do that.
45:08
Yeah.
45:09
That's one of those fights that you don't have to really have an undercard.
45:12
Yeah.
45:13
But it's a great card, though.
45:15
Great card.
45:16
Yeah.
45:17
That's all we got.
45:18
That's a lot of stuff.
45:21
It is.
45:22
It's a lot of shit coming up this week.
45:24
A lot of shit coming down the pipe as well.

Do your laundry.
47:07
I need to do my laundry.
47:09
Man, I feel personally attacked here.
47:15
I'm going to say thank you to Al Hayman for his help that he's given.
47:19
Oh, right.
47:22
I want to say that just because I feel like I really do think he's like one of the only promoters that would have done that.
47:28
Yeah, I'm out of the loop.
47:30
I don't know what you're talking about.
47:31
It's just come out that Al Hayman has been paying Prichard Colon's all of his rehab, all of his medical bills, helping the family with living expenses, everything.
47:42
That's crazy.
47:43
Yeah.
47:44
Good for him.
47:45
Not a fucking peep about it until recently.
47:48
There's no YouTube video, nothing.
47:50
No IFL interview like climbing up on his cross saying, oh, whoa, whoa, is me taking care of my fucking people.
47:58
Eddie would have sent that to the T-shirt and that would have been it.
48:01
Yeah.
48:03
Right.
48:04
I don't know.
48:05
I imagine I do imagine that Bob Arum would a little bit, but not to the extent that we're hearing Hayman has.
48:15
I think he would do a little bit, though.
48:17
All right. So thank you, Al Hayman.
48:20
Fucking wherever you're listening, hit this shit with the rating would really help that little thingy clappity thing.
48:28
I already plugged the number.
48:30
It goes directly to me.
48:31
That's my number.
48:32
Mine.
48:33
You can call me on that number if you wanted to.
48:35
