This shit ain't nothing to me, man. This is boxing
0:03
before dark. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Back. Back.
0:06
Back. Back. Back. Before. Before. Before. Before.
0:11
Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing before dark. This
0:15
is boxing before dark. Here we go. Boxing before
0:25
dark. We are back, bitches. We're here to talk
0:28
the fights. Shanada, how's Japan treating you?
0:32
Leaving Japan is more fucking work than getting
0:35
here. So many forms, Leo. So many forms. I have
0:39
also been informed that I have to go and tell
0:43
the government that my, like, resident card is
0:47
expiring. Like, they know. They set the date.
0:51
How do... Yeah, that... Why do you have to go
0:54
inform them of their expiration date? Apparently
0:58
there is a form I'm supposed to fill out informing
1:01
them that I am not trying to stay in Japan. All
1:07
right. I don't get it. Japan informs. Name a
1:13
more iconic duo. And I got to go in person because
1:17
I have to use my little stamp to stamp it. Your
1:22
little stamp? Like, you have a personal one?
1:25
Yeah, yeah, the little, like, seals. Have I never
1:28
shown you? No. It's, like, the official little
1:33
seals, and then you've got, like, your name on
1:36
it. Holy shit. You have to get a seal? This one
1:42
is not, like, an official official one. It's
1:45
the in -between one. So it's legally binding
1:48
on contracts. but it's not an official one because
1:53
I didn't fill out a form. You didn't register
1:57
your seal? Yeah. Essentially? Yeah. Wow. But
2:03
anything I stamp it on is, like, legally binding.
2:06
It's like a signature. Yeah. Interesting. You
2:10
have to register it. That's fucking really dumb.
2:13
I had to get it made so I could rent an apartment.
2:18
Because you can't sign. With the company I'm
2:22
with, I can't sign it. I have to stamp it. Why
2:30
do the Japanese try so hard to not accept foreign
2:34
money? They go out of their way to do it. It's
2:39
really stupid. Well, and also, it seems way easier
2:43
to fake a stamp. than a signature to me. I would
2:50
think so too. Or someone could steal this. And
2:54
suddenly they're you? Exactly. Come on. I don't
2:57
get it. Maybe this is us, like Westerners, not
3:03
understanding like they're more integrous society.
3:11
Yeah. Nobody would just steal it because... Why
3:15
would I steal it? I have my own stamp. Maybe.
3:20
It's just really a hangover from when the upper
3:25
class had servants doing everything. So you could
3:31
have somebody stamp something in your stead?
3:34
Yeah. But it's a cool souvenir. It is. That would
3:41
be something I would really like. i like stationary
3:45
i i'm a super hipster i have a typewriter so
3:49
i i'll tell you if you ever come to japan you
3:52
can find little kiosks where you design your
3:55
own stamp because that's where i got this made
3:57
was a mall kiosk like just a machine that you
4:00
type it in damn that's pretty cool i do have
4:05
custom stamps um one that i use like it's Instead
4:10
of wax seals, I have wax seals and I use them
4:13
very sparingly just because it costs extra to
4:17
send a wax seal through the mail. So I have a
4:20
little rubber stamp that says Leo in the middle
4:24
and has a little catchphrase I put on it. Excellent.
4:30
I used to... I still do sometimes. I used to
4:34
carve stamps just for fun. to make like cards
4:38
and stuff for people. Yeah. It's a nice relaxing
4:43
hobby. It's a lot easier than carving wood. Yeah,
4:48
because you're usually carving it out of rubber,
4:49
right? Yeah, you can get harder like vinyl and
4:54
stuff, but I just buy the really soft rubber.
4:58
It's a relaxing hobby. Sending mail is a relaxing
5:04
hobby. Yeah. Some of my friends get weird little
5:07
cards with deformed rabbits because I'm not a
5:10
good artist. But it's handmade. It is. That's
5:16
not a guarantee. That's some elbow grease went
5:20
into it. You will tell it is handmade. Alright,
5:26
let's get into a little bit of news here. Before
5:29
we start, a handmade survey. bxng .co slash survey.
5:36
I want to hear what your thoughts are on the
5:38
titles. What do you consider more prestigious
5:41
or more corrupt, etc. And the Muhammad Ali Boxing
5:46
Revival Act. It has left committee in the Senate,
5:51
but we still have time. LVXmedia .net slash b
5:56
-sides. If you go there, you can find the contact
5:59
information for your senators with the link at
6:01
the top. And yeah, tell them that this shit sucks.
6:07
Boxing's not perfect. We would be the first amongst
6:11
the many to tell you that it's not. But this
6:14
Mabra, this shit ain't it. Not like this. It's
6:20
not going to help. It's going to create more
6:23
problems than it solves. But into the news. Oscar
6:29
Collazo is facing Joey Canoy. On June 20th. Who
6:36
is Joey Canoy? He's not... Who was the dude that
6:42
just beat Jerusalem? Something... I also don't
6:48
remember his name. It's not Tataran, and it's
6:53
not the dude that just beat Jerusalem. Siwakolwa
6:58
Kuse. So if it's not them, I don't care. Some
7:07
32 -year -old, which is ancient for minimum weights,
7:10
named the baby face. Yeah. Yeah. I am not excited
7:19
about this one. Yep. It's not the fights that
7:24
we want. I'm not sure what Oscar De La Hoya thinks
7:30
minimum weights are worth. But this type of fuckery,
7:36
they're not worth that. It's making it worse.
7:40
Yeah. Nobody wants to watch minimum weights as
7:44
it is. And if you're not making unification fights,
7:47
then why the fuck am I going to pay attention?
7:50
Yeah. He's wasting Collazo. Collazo could actually
7:54
be quite the star for minimum weights. I know
7:59
that bar is pretty low, but he's really good.
8:02
He is. Let him show it off. Against, like, top
8:08
quality opposition. Who the fuck is Joey Canoy?
8:12
For real. Some Filipino guy I've never heard
8:17
of. Well, speaking of not getting to show it
8:28
off, Sky Nicholson is elevated to full Titleist
8:33
at 122. Not the way... I think she herself said
8:40
that she would have rather fought for the title.
8:45
I think most fighters would rather fight for
8:48
the title. Yeah, rather than get the email that
8:53
they're elevated. It's too bad. She gets memed
9:02
a lot because she's pretty, but she's not bad
9:06
as a fighter. She's not bad. She could have given
9:11
some good work if she had been given the opportunity
9:16
to fight for her. Yeah, Sky's not my favorite,
9:21
but I mean, not having her fight for the actual
9:26
title is, again, just boring. I guess. I don't
9:32
like when they do this. You should have to win
9:34
a title. Ellie Scottney. What are you doing?
9:43
Yeah. Went out of your way to be not undisputed
9:48
rather than defend your undisputed crown against
9:54
what would be a pretty solid payday for you.
9:58
Because Mashroom They show up for Skye Nicholson.
10:03
She is a draw, for sure. Stupid. Yeah. Boxing
10:15
gonna box, I guess. Yeah, Boxer's gonna box.
10:21
Murat Gassiev is facing Tony Yoka. Well, might
10:27
be. It's looking... pretty firm. It's not a guarantee
10:31
yet. It's not a lock, but it's definitely in
10:36
the works. That's pretty funny. Didn't Yoko just
10:43
lose? He was supposed to fight Lawrence Okoli,
10:47
and that fell through because Okoli popped for
10:50
HGH. I'm confusing Tony Yoko with who's the heavyweight.
11:02
David Allen? French guy. French heavyweight?
11:10
Maybe he's not a heavyweight. I don't know who
11:12
I'm confusing him with. Some black French guy.
11:16
Carlos Tacan? Maybe. Let's see. Now that you
11:25
say it, now I really want to figure it out. Looking
11:31
at the heavyweight picture of France. I don't
11:39
see any name here that recently fought. Anyways,
11:46
doesn't matter. Maybe he's not even a heavyweight.
11:49
I have no idea. I have no idea what I'm thinking
11:52
of, Leo. It is early on a Saturday. Well, Murat
11:57
Gassiev, the WBA regular. Titleist will be defending
12:02
his quote -unquote crown sometime later this
12:07
year. So isn't that nice? I mean, I like title
12:13
fights, but this will probably fall through again.
12:18
Half a title. What's interesting about the WBA
12:23
regular at heavyweight is there was a guy I want
12:31
to say his name was Char with two R's. And he
12:36
held the WBA regular title for so long. When
12:41
the WBA tried to phase it out, he sued them to
12:45
keep the WBA regular. Excellent. So the WBA regular
12:55
at heavyweight has a... It's a legal precedent.
13:04
remember this guy. Is it Mahmoud? Is that his
13:07
name? Yeah, Mahmoud Char from Syria originally.
13:13
But he's German? Somehow? Fighting out of Germany
13:17
sounds correct. Sounds like... I remember that
13:22
being the case. He's supposed to fight somebody
13:27
and Dan Rayfield, if you ever mention the fight
13:33
to him, He'll, like, block you on social media.
13:38
Mamou Char versus somebody. God, I need to remember
13:44
who that is just so I can pester him. Upcoming,
13:50
Troy Isley. He's a middleweight contender that
13:57
I keep up with. He signs with Salida Promotions.
14:01
He'll be making his debut on the June 14th car.
14:04
That's a Sunday. It'll be taking place in Grand
14:07
Rapids, Michigan. Nice. I know you like this
14:13
kid. I do. I'm fond of Troy Isley. His nickname
14:18
is the Transformer. It's pretty cool. Jermall
14:28
Charlo. will be returning on the Spence Zoo Undercard.
14:37
Is this just going to be like a bunch of people
14:40
who should be retired? An Unkoff? Yeah. Unfortunately,
14:46
I think it might be. This is going to turn into
14:53
a meme card. I'm calling it now. It's just going
14:57
to be... Silly matchups. Well, speaking of silly
15:06
matchups, Adrian Broner was talking about making
15:10
a return to the ring. The name being floated
15:15
is Chris Eubank. Chris Eubank is washed, but
15:23
I think he can beat Broner at this point. The
15:29
whole Broner Sega is just making me sad, to be
15:32
honest. It is getting... It is in that territory
15:36
now. Like, it's like, man, what are you... What
15:39
are you doing? You're... Apparently, he's making
15:43
money doing this streaming with some dude named
15:48
Dean. Yeah. I've only seen, like, the awful clips
15:54
from that. Same. I only see the... It just looks
15:58
sad. Yeah. And that picture of Broner where he
16:04
looks like he's gonna have triplets. There's
16:06
no fucking way he's actually coming back and
16:09
boxing. Dude is dying of cirrhosis or something.
16:17
He does look pretty unwell. To say the least.
16:21
He looks... Yeah, he looks like he has some lingering
16:29
hangover. Constantly, though. Yeah, it persists.
16:38
Oh, unrelated to boxing, but I learned a fun
16:42
hangover fact that I think everybody probably
16:44
thought, but science has finally proven. So you
16:48
know how you feel better after you have that
16:50
awful hangover shit? Yes. It's true. That actually
16:57
gets rid of a lot of the booze toxins and stops
17:04
your intestines from uptaking them more, so that's
17:08
why you feel better. So maybe Broder just needs
17:13
to take a massive dump and he'll be back to his
17:16
old self. But yeah, there was a scientific paper
17:24
coming out explaining why you feel better after
17:27
your hangover shit in the morning. Huh. That
17:35
makes sense why people refer to it as hangxiety.
17:41
The hangover, like the negative feelings, not
17:45
just from feeling sick, but like the negative
17:47
feelings from a hangover, maybe because you're
17:50
re -uptaking. stuff that's in your gut. Yeah.
17:54
Interesting. I just thought it was really funny
17:57
that they spent real money on that. Oh, man.
18:06
Next bit, Diego Pacheco will be returning in
18:10
July. Opponent yet to be determined. However...
18:16
Pacheco's career is so weird. He, um... He went
18:22
free agent. He signed with a new management company.
18:26
And then... He kind of just, like, disappeared.
18:31
For, like, a year. Yeah, like, every time he
18:35
gets a little bit of momentum, he just disappears.
18:42
Yeah. Looks like he's back with Matchroom. Which
18:46
is good. Good that he has, like, a steady...
18:50
relationship with a promoter again. It didn't
18:55
look like that manager did really anything for
19:00
him. But while his opponent is yet to be determined,
19:05
the co -main has been set as Andy Cruz versus
19:10
Albert Bell. IBF Eliminator. Nice. As the IBF
19:18
does, I don't know who Albert Bell is. And recycling
19:22
Andy Cruz, who just lost a title fight. IBF doing
19:30
IBF things. If this is the right guy, he's 28
19:35
-0. Albert Bell. Who is he with? Uh... His promoter
19:46
on BoxRec is listed as Vic Green, who I don't
19:49
know. Never heard of him. The company is Pulse
19:55
Boxing. Pulse? Pulse, yeah. What the hell? Albert
20:01
Bell. I have never seen this guy before. I don't
20:07
recognize him either, but 28 -0 is a good record.
20:12
Has he fought anyone, though? Going back to 2020?
20:20
No. Yeah, and he mostly fights in Toledo. And
20:31
Atlanta. Vic Green of Pulse Boxing. Interesting.
20:45
Well. Typical IBF situation. A dude you never
20:51
heard of. He does the dance. He fights the fights.
20:56
And here he is. Getting himself into a final
21:01
eliminator. Yeah, who knows? Could be another
21:06
upset, though. If Andy Cruz loses, that's gotta
21:11
be fucking raps. You would think so. Last thing.
21:21
This one's a little bit complicated, but we'll
21:25
do our best to get through it. So, Norair McCallion,
21:30
the WBC Cruiserweight Champion, is looking to
21:34
fight Jai Obataya. However, the WBC has ordered
21:41
that Norair must make a mandatory defense against
21:47
David Benavidez. Okay, a little funky, but whatever.
21:53
However, again, Benavidez allegedly turned down
21:58
a fight with Jayo Pataya. A brain full of fuck.
22:04
Like, what is... Yeah, yeah, this is like a bad
22:09
romance plot. Love triangle going on. I wouldn't
22:15
be surprised if... the belts are trying to push
22:20
out Opitaya because he's with Zufa. Wouldn't
22:25
surprise me either. And that's why the WBC ordered
22:29
the Benavidez fight. Benavidez has said he doesn't
22:33
want to fight Jai unless he has real belts. And
22:38
Mikaelian's probably just looking for the most
22:40
money. Well, that would be Benavidez, surely.
22:47
Would it? Or would Zufa offer a metric shit ton
22:51
to get Jaya fight against somebody with a real
22:55
belt? Right now, David Benavidez is one of Turkey's
23:02
favorite toys. That's true. But I mean, so is
23:10
Opetaya. True. That's also true. Either way,
23:15
it's the same people paying for it, probably.
23:21
I just think he would make... Norair would make
23:25
more fighting the traditional route than trying
23:31
to scrape something together with Zufa. Yeah.
23:39
Honestly... Opataya might look like the easier
23:43
fight, though. Benavidez looked fucking scary.
23:49
And Opatay's been, like... He's been rocked by
23:54
some not -so -great fighters recently. Mikaelian
23:58
might think he's the easier fight for the same
24:01
money. Not that either of them's easy, but between
24:07
the two, Opataya looks... more vulnerable than
24:11
Benavidez did. True. Benavidez looked fucking
24:16
scary against, uh, Zerto. And Opataya looked
24:23
vulnerable against Glanton. Yeah. So, uh, yeah.
24:32
I can see where the Belts are trying to push
24:35
Opataya out and Makalian's looking for a fight
24:38
that he thinks he might possibly be able to win.
24:42
Against, like, a top name at that. Yeah, yeah.
24:45
Like, Opetai's still a big name, but he definitely
24:50
looks more vulnerable than Benavidez did. So,
24:56
it kind of makes sense to me. And I honestly,
25:00
I think Benavidez just doesn't want to fight
25:02
for not belts. Yeah, if you're going to take
25:07
a... big challenge like Obataya might want to
25:11
have something on the line. Something he can
25:17
win, not just retain. Yeah. But that's the situation.
25:28
One of those ones we'll have to keep watching,
25:30
see how it develops. They really have done a
25:35
good job of making cruiserweight interesting
25:37
right now. Like, I never thought we'd spend so
25:42
much time talking about cruiserweights. I think
25:45
that Benavidez moving up, even if it's temporary,
25:51
is what makes this division interesting. Otherwise,
25:54
it's just Jaya Pataya kind of dominating nobodies.
25:59
Yeah. Anything more for the news? No, I think
26:09
that kind of covers everything. Last cursory
26:15
glance. The only thing I found funny lately,
26:20
have you seen that Nakatani got a mural painted
26:24
after the Inoue fight? I think in his hometown.
26:30
I thought it was an awful fucking mural because
26:33
it's his face all fucked up after the fight.
26:37
But Nakatani loves it. He started selling merch
26:40
of it. And his eyes swollen shut and he's all
26:45
cut up. I don't know. If you're going to paint
26:49
a picture of someone, make it a nice picture.
26:52
Yeah, it should be something flattering, right?
26:54
Yeah, but Nakatani's selling t -shirts now, so
26:57
I guess he likes it. Yucasta Valle wearing a
27:06
thong to the weigh -in. Interesting choice. Amanda
27:14
Serrano wearing Paw Patrol underwear. I didn't
27:22
even know they sold those in adult sizes. I would
27:25
not have thought so either. Man, like, I guess...
27:33
credit to mvp for letting the ladies show out
27:37
like however they want yeah you can't police
27:41
what people wear as long as it's covering but
27:44
yeah covering the goods yeah that the uh the
27:53
timeline is full of mvp weigh -in photos or videos
27:58
fair enough i guess Makes sense, given that it's
28:03
that time of the week. Yeah, I mean, they do
28:08
the same thing with the boys. Yeah, of course.
28:11
It's not just because the chicks are wearing
28:14
scantily clad bikinis. But, let me get some notes
28:21
in here. Social media handle, ldxmedianet. Fucking
28:25

28:45
If you would like what I would call a very complete
28:49
and solid boxing calendar, lvxmedia .net slash
28:53
boxing. And while you're there, check out the
28:55
Wayside Sports Review. You can see why Josh thinks
29:00
DAZN sucks. I'm going to keep it a buck with
29:03
you. After spending six years in the military
29:06
and throughout my life since, I've tried my fair
29:09
share of energy drinks. All the different brands,
29:11
all the different flavors, and it took some time
29:14
to find a favorite. But if you're looking for
29:16
an alternative to the energy drink jitters and
29:19
skipping the morning trip to the coffee shop,
29:21
then you need to try Dubby. Dubby is a powdered
29:24
energy drink that replaces other caffeine beverages.
29:27
It contains zero maltodextrin, zero fillers,
29:30
zero artificial colors or dyes, and no proprietary
29:33
blends. The star of the show is the coffee fruit
29:36
extract, which helps with focus without the jitters
29:39
or crash. Go to lvx .be slash dubby and check
29:44
out all the different flavors. I got Tiger's
29:46
Blood. It's like a strawberry coconut kind of
29:48
mix. But I'm definitely going to be sampling
29:51
the catalog to find the flavor that I like best.
29:53
We've partnered with W to get that locked in
29:56
feeling that helps us focus on what we do best.
29:59
Whether you're getting dialed in for work or
30:02
getting dialed in for Saturday night fights,
30:04
let W be your fuel. Go to lvx .be slash W to
30:09
shop the flavors, get yourself a nice discount,
30:11
and help us out in the process. That's lvx .be
30:15
slash d -u -b -b -y. Is there anything worse
30:21
than that nagging suspicion that you clicked
30:23
on the wrong thing? We use our devices for everything
30:26
now, for banking, shopping, connecting with friends
30:28
and family, and it's stressful to have to constantly
30:32
worry if your data is safe while you're just

31:45
It starts with Friday. May 22nd, and why do I
31:50
not have these separated? I am so good at this.
31:58
Okay, Golden Boy on the zone at the SAP Center
32:06
in San Jose. We have quite three stoppages. That
32:14
all took place in round three. Darius Fulgham
32:16
stops Joanki Urrutia in three. Robin Safar, split
32:22
decision win. Jordan Panton, the Patriot, gets
32:27
a round three stoppage. Scrappy Ramirez gets
32:33
a UD win. And Amari Jones, stoppage in round
32:37
three. It was a decent card. It was a good one.
32:44
Very enjoyable. We've been dunking on Golden
32:48
Boy, but this one was good. That being said,
32:54
I don't remember any of the fights in particular.
32:59
I would say this was a Golden Boy version of
33:04
a 5 -star event. They brought out a ton of their
33:09
names. Yeah. But, yeah, nobody, even though there
33:15
were, like, three big KO3s, they don't really
33:19
stand out in my memory. Like you said. Yeah,
33:24
like, I remember enjoying it, but I don't have
33:28
any, like, particular talking points. Like, the
33:31
knockouts were good, but none of them were, oh
33:34
my god. And then the decisions, the fights were
33:39
fine. but like i don't remember there being any
33:43
wars where i'm like you guys got to go watch
33:45
this yeah unfortunately this one didn't have
33:51
a lot of staying power it was good at the time
33:55
but but not something i'm gonna tell people to
33:59
like go find replays of yeah don't you don't
34:02
necessarily have to go back for the replay of
34:04
this one But I mean, they're guys that were supposed
34:09
to win one and they all looked good. Would you
34:15
say the same applies to Gloria Giza? Is this
34:22
one worth... For some reason, if for whatever
34:26
reason a boxing fan did not watch it, should
34:28
they go back and see it? The pacing on this was
34:31
fucking horrible, Leo. Jesus Christ. So this
34:35
started at midnight here, and I was like, I'll
34:38
just stay up. I can do this. And I would have
34:42
been fine if there wasn't two fucking hour -long
34:46
breaks in the middle of the broadcast. I'm not
34:50
gonna lie. I fell asleep in round five of the
34:54
main event. Not because it was boring, but because
34:57
it was, like, 7 .30 a .m. Like... The pacing
35:06
on these cards at these big Turkey events is
35:09
just atrocious. I know you have times that you
35:13
announced internationally, but if you're going
35:16
to do that, you have to have swing fights or
35:19
something. The two biggest breaks. First thing,
35:28
Mizuki Hiruta gets the UD over Mai Soliman. She
35:33
came out as Bastet. That was her getup. That
35:39
was pretty cool. Honestly, I was a little disappointed
35:42
in her ring rock robe this time. It was a little
35:45
underwhelming for what we're used to with Mimi.
35:49
Honestly, she lost the outfit battle in this
35:52
one. Soleiman had a fucking awesome outfit. Was
35:57
it gold? Gold and black? Black. Yeah, black with,
36:01
like, gold Egyptian designs. Wow, well, Egyptian
36:05
chick. Yeah, but I'm just saying. But, um...
36:10
How do I put it? People were dunking on Mizuki,
36:16
but I thought she very clearly won more rounds.
36:20
But Solomon has power. I was surprised. She rocked
36:24
her a couple times. It's definitely a lot more
36:27
competitive than I was expecting. I thought this
36:30
was going to be a wash. I thought Soliman was
36:34
brought in because she's Egyptian. And that was
36:37
it. Turns out she was brought in because she
36:40
hits hard. She's a legitimate contender. Yeah,
36:43
yeah. Like, she had Mizuki rattled a couple times.
36:49
But Mizuki just outboxed her, I think. And her
36:53
counters were pretty on point for most of the
36:55
fight. There were rounds where she lost, but
36:58
I mean. I thought it was a pretty clear win.
37:02
Competitive, but clear. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm going
37:09
to watch Solomon now, because she seems like
37:11
she could get knockouts. It's a rarity in the
37:15
ladies' ranks. She's got ten wins with six knockouts,
37:19
but I didn't really recognize any of the people
37:22
she was knocking out. Baristas. But apparently
37:28
that's not only the people she could knock out.
37:35
I thought this was a fun fight. So she's at super
37:48
flyweight. The... The real threat to super flyweight
37:56
is... Gabi, right? Gabi moving up. Yeah, I don't
38:02
think anybody beats Gabi. But... If Soliman could
38:09
get Hiruta buzzed, Gabi fucking stops her. Yeah,
38:15
but I've been saying that the whole time. Yes,
38:17
you have. You absolutely have. No, I love Mimi,
38:22
but she doesn't have the power to bother Gabi
38:25
and... Gabby will just piece her up. But... The
38:34
cause of hour -long break number one. Frank Sanchez
38:39
stops Richard Torres in two. I was not expecting
38:45
this. No. I really thought Frank was going to
38:50
show his age. And knee problems? Yes, especially
38:57
the knee problem at this advanced age, which
39:00
I don't give a shit what it says on paper. Like,
39:03
somebody put a picture of him in Discord and
39:07
said, like, quit fucking around. This guy's definitely
39:09
33. And it looks like a 45 -year -old man. Because
39:15
he is a 45 -year -old man. He's Cuban 33. Right.
39:21
Yeah, I thought he was going to show it. but
39:23
apparently not he did not but yeah man he just
39:29
iced torres i know torres doesn't have the best
39:34
defense at all but i did not expect him to get
39:38
just blown out in round two like that was a heavy
39:42
knockout he to his credit uh to torres's credit
39:48
he did stand up to beat the count but then he
39:54
fell back over so yeah at least he wasn't like
39:59
dead body cold on the ground that's true and
40:03
he was flopping around game trying to clearly
40:07
trying to get up but yeah that was uh that was
40:13
pretty nasty yeah yeah yeah american heavyweights
40:17
in the garbage jeez we got nothing But who does
40:25
Frank Sanchez fight next? He's the IBF mandatory
40:29
now. But Usyk's gonna drop that belt. If he's
40:35
gonna... He'll drop it before he takes Sanchez.
40:40
Not that I consider Sanchez a threat, really.
40:44
But he's not gonna pay enough money. Right. Caballel
40:51
in Germany is a better payday. Dubois 3 in UK
40:57
is probably a better payday. I don't want to
41:00
see Dubois 3. And Moses Atalma is the WBA. So
41:06
all of them are better paydays than fucking Frank
41:13
Sanchez. Do you think they do Atalma Sanchez?
41:25
That would be interesting. If Frank looks like
41:29
he did there, I could see him giving Atalma some
41:34
problems before he wins. Before Atalma wins,
41:37
I mean. The IBF rankings are all kind of weird
41:45
right now. But Atalma's number one and two are
41:50
empty. Sanchez is three. I assume they haven't
41:53
been updated. Torres was four and Atalma was
41:57
five. That would be a big step up for Atalma,
42:05
but he needs a big step up. He's just been blowing
42:07
everyone out. Yeah, he blows out all his step
42:10
ups. I really do see Frank Sanchez going that
42:15
way. Just lasting a little longer. But we've
42:19
been saying that about everyone. True. That's
42:23
also very valid. I don't know what they do with
42:29
Torres now. David Allen? Why not? They're both
42:42
on the skid. I mean, if David Allen beats Richard
42:49
Torres, it's over. Yeah, that would be raps.
42:54
That would 100 % be raps. At the best, you're
42:59
going to be some undercard guy fighting fucking
43:05
random heavyweights that they can find. I still
43:10
kind of want to see Torres Anderson. Make the
43:16
two Americans fight. See who's the least bad.
43:20
But then that takes away two of our cope hopes.
43:26
Yeah, but... Takes away one of them anyway. The
43:30
hope is dead. Let's be honest. Neither of these
43:32
guys is gonna win a belt. Yeah, we got nothing.
43:38
At heavyweight? Shit, dude. We got nothing. Let
43:41
me see. I mean, those are the two top American
43:46
heavyweights right now, right? Wilder's probably
43:51
up there. From number one, Gerald Miller, Deontay
43:56
Wilder, Richard Torres is number three. Kingsley
44:00
Iba is number four. Price Taylor, Brandon Moore,
44:06
Jermaine Franklin, Dante Stone, John Cantrell,
44:11
and Demasian Van Hooter. Anderson's not even
44:15
on the list? He's been inactive. Ah. Jake Paul's
44:23
13. Jesus. Fucking dire. That is fucking dire.
44:33
Holy shit. I didn't know he was local. Kingsley
44:39
Iba. He lives in Phoenix. Ah, nice. He's fighting
44:45
on a card on June 20th. Here in Arizona. Let's
44:55
see if I can go to that. Jack Catterall. UD over
45:04
Shakram Giyasov. Catterall looked good. I don't
45:13
like Catterall, but he looked good in this fight.
45:15
Yeah, it was pretty one -sided. Pretty heavily
45:21
one -sided. And it really does look like What's
45:28
-His -Name in Philly improved Catterall's power.
45:32
It seemed like he was hitting pretty hard. 119,
45:43
108, 118, 109, and then 116, 111. So there's
45:52
a knockdown in that. 11 to 1, 10 to 2, and then
45:58
8 to 4. Yeah, he had GSL down early. Yeah, okay.
46:09
I honestly didn't think GSOV was going to see
46:11
the final bell after that first round. Yeah,
46:16
he held on to his credit. That's 147. He's in
46:31
line for Raleigh's WBA title. Ah, okay. Since
46:40
Raleigh is retired, I wonder if they're gonna...
46:45
If he's gonna drop the belt. Jack Catterall as
46:54
a full welterweight champion in 2026. He's also
47:01
position number one for Haney's belt. I'm not
47:17
sure what I... Jack Catterall just continues
47:20
to fucking impress me. I think it's because my
47:24
expectations are usually low. And I'm just, you
47:28
know, not... Never expecting him to look as good
47:32
as he does. Yeah, well, I just don't like him,
47:37
so I always cheer against him. So... I mean...
47:44
But he looked good, I have to admit. Another
47:52
cause of the hour -long break, Hamza Shiraz stops
47:58
Alan Begich in two. Chat was saying Begich took
48:05
a dive. I don't know about a dive, but he sure
48:12
wasn't. excited to get back in the fight i don't
48:19
know this this fight just kind of sucked all
48:22
around it was not good yeah i don't have much
48:31
to like much positive to say about it um I mean,
48:39
Shiraz beat up an old German guy. Yeah, look,
48:42
a 40 -year -old man. Congrats, you're a full
48:44
champion. So that's great. We'll see if you want
48:51
to mix it up with the other champs. We've got
49:01
Munguia, Iglesias. He doesn't want Iglesias.
49:09
Who does? Alexander Usyk stops Rico Verhoeven
49:22
at the end of the 11th. Question mark. It was
49:27
a bad stoppage. I agree. Like a real bad stoppage.
49:37
Was that who I think it is? The ref? Yeah. It
49:46
was, what's his name? Mark Lyson, not Howard
49:50
Foster. No, it wasn't Foster this time. I mean,
49:57
Rico did way better than anyone was expecting,
50:03
but I don't think he was up on the cards. You
50:06
don't? No. I was just going off of vibes. I thought
50:14
Rico was probably winning most of the rounds.
50:18
I think... I think people had such low expectations
50:24
that they were giving him rounds that were close.
50:31
Do you know what I mean? Like everyone expected
50:33
him to be shit. So when he outperformed being
50:35
shit, they were leaning towards him. Especially
50:39
the fans. Yeah. But Usyk didn't look quite himself
50:48
either. But that was just a bad stoppage. And
50:59
honestly, I think Usyk would have... We'll never
51:03
know, obviously, but I think Usyk kind of had
51:06
him figured out and Rico was starting to tire.
51:10
I think the 12th round would have went to Usyk
51:13
and he would have won on the cards if he didn't
51:16
stop him in the 12th. I thought he could have
51:19
stopped him in the 12th. Rico went down pretty
51:22
hard and he got up and... While Usyk was teeing
51:29
off on him, nothing was really landing clean.
51:33
And I thought Rico was actively defending himself.
51:37
And that stoppage, as you already said, was fucking
51:42
dog shit. It was a dog shit stoppage. And it
51:46
just makes boxing look corrupt. Like they're
51:49
protecting Usyk. Yeah, that's honestly what it
51:54
looks like, is that they were protecting Usyk.
51:57
even though he i think he could have easily not
52:01
well not easily but he could have gotten the
52:02
stoppage in the 12th if they had let it go which
52:06
they should have mark lyson i know you're listening
52:11
you fucking butthole but I hadn't realized how
52:19
much boxing training Rico does for his kickboxing.
52:23
Apparently he's been with Peter Fury for like
52:25
nine years or something. And he used to spar
52:31
Tyson sometimes. Makes sense why he would want
52:41
to get one back for the Fury camp. Yeah, well,
52:47
I'm just... I think Rico's a very proud man.
52:51
Like, he's never gonna come into a fight and
52:54
not try and win. But if they do a rematch, I
53:02
think Usyk beats him quite easily, probably early.
53:07
Usyk's always better in rematches. Right. Like,
53:12
the... One of the comparisons that came up in
53:17
the immediate aftermath was Floyd Mayweather
53:21
and how few rematches he's ever had to do and
53:25
how he looks better. Who was it? Jose Luis Castillo
53:31
and Marcos Maidana. Both fights, people argue
53:35
he lost. Then he gives the rematch and fucking
53:39
embarrasses them. Usyk himself has looked better
53:44
every time he refights somebody at heavyweight.
53:48
Yeah, he did with Dubois and Tyson Fury. And
53:53
AJ, I would argue. Yes, that's also true. I don't
53:59
want to see a rematch, but that stoppage leaves
54:02
a real bad taste in my mouth. Yeah, I agree.
54:05
Not gonna lie. But... Rico is saying he's going
54:11
to stay in boxing. I don't know who they'll have
54:14
him fight next, but... Frank Sanchez. I mean,
54:24
that could be fun. I do have to give Rico props.
54:30
I thought he would gas because kickboxing is
54:32
such a shorter fight. Like, they only fight five
54:36
three -minute rounds. In title fights. Yeah,
54:40
but he didn't. Not terribly. Like, he had a better
54:44
gas tank than a lot of heavyweight fighters.
54:50
So, I'd watch Rico in boxing again, but I don't
54:53
want to see him fight Usyk. If he's gonna stay
54:56
in boxing, I want him to go down the line. Work
55:00
his way up. I know he's old, but... One of the
55:07
fights, one of the possible fights that I've
55:09
seen come up was him fighting AJ. Rico, I mean.
55:15
As a, what is it? AJ being the meme killer. Oh,
55:23
yeah. I mean, Rico is definitely there to be
55:28
hit. And AJ hits a lot harder than Usyk does.
55:33
True. He does. Might be a good warm -up fight
55:42
for AJ versus Tyson. Although it's kind of a
55:47
dangerous one to come back to after his long
55:50
layoff. Yeah, he's got that Pranga fight coming
55:53
up in a few weeks. I guess I kind of just missed
56:00
that news. I don't follow heavyweights real close.
56:04
Yeah, he's fighting... Christian Pranga on July
56:13
25th. But as a meme crossover fight, this was
56:20
actually a good one. Yeah. Like, Rico did well.
56:26
And... I... I don't know... why. Like, I've heard
56:32
so many rumors about Usyk's family and stuff,
56:35
but Usyk didn't seem like he was as locked in
56:38
as usual. Or maybe he just didn't take it as
56:42
serious because it's a kickboxer. I think it's
56:46
a mix of both. He was saying in the immediate
56:49
post -fight interview, he was talking about how
56:52
his family's in bomb shelters. Yeah. And he got
56:58
the call, like, That they had just gone in the
57:01
day of the fight. But then he says later on social
57:06
media, I was just trying to make it interesting.
57:12
Yeah, that sounds like cope. Yeah, I think so
57:14
too. Like, your family being in a bomb shelter,
57:20
that's fucking frightening. So if you're distracted,
57:24
that makes perfect sense. That's completely understandable.
57:28
I do kind of sympathize with the people who are
57:33
like, why hasn't he just gotten his family out
57:35
at this point? Like, that war's been going on
57:40
for a long time, and Usyk has enough money. He
57:42
could have brought them to Spain with him or
57:44
something. Could have brought them to anywhere
57:46
with him. Yeah. Well, he was training in Spain,
57:50
I think. That's the only reason I said Spain.
57:52
Oh, okay. I thought he was living there or something.
57:59
Well, like, I think he was living there during
58:02
training and everything. I don't know. It seems
58:06
weird to leave them in... Are they in Kiev? It
58:14
seems weird to leave them in a war zone when
58:17
you have that much money. I know they kind of
58:21
use... Like, Ukraine kind of uses the boxers
58:24
for morale and stuff, but... I don't think it's
58:30
worth leaving your little kids in a war zone.
58:36
But maybe it's more complicated. Maybe it's more
58:41
complicated. Maybe the government is pressuring
58:46
him and stuff. Anything more for Gloria Giza?
59:07
No. All right. Last bit of notes. Phone line
59:14
833 -589 -7637. Hit me up in WhatsApp. I want
59:19

1:00:07
Let's be real. Building or rebuilding credit
1:00:10
can feel like trying to open the door that's
1:00:12
already locked. You need credit to get credit,
1:00:14
right? It's a loop that doesn't make much sense.
1:00:17
So, meet Current. It's the key that actually
1:00:20
fits into that lock. Current doesn't just help
1:00:23
you build your future, it helps you handle your
1:00:25
right here and now. Unlike most secured cards
1:00:28
that lock your cash away, Current offers a cash
1:00:31
advance feature that's available on qualified
1:00:33
direct deposits. Because life doesn't wait for
1:00:36
your credit score to go up before the card needs
1:00:38
a repair or the electric bill needs to be paid,
1:00:41
Current loves to give a good head start by putting
1:00:44
money back in your pocket. Set up a qualified

staring at your screen through a thick layer
1:01:16
of fog? You've got the coffee, you've got the
1:01:20
to -do list, but your brain just isn't clicking
1:01:22
into gear. Most of us just reach for another
1:01:25
hit of caffeine, but that usually just leads
1:01:27
to a crash, not a breakthrough. It's time to
1:01:30
upgrade your cognitive fuel with psilocybin.
1:01:33
This isn't just another supplement. It's a powerhouse
1:01:36
of magical mushrooms that's been used for centuries
1:01:38
to support mental clarity. It's the key weapon
1:01:41
for anyone who needs to stay sharp and focused
1:01:44
for the long haul. Psilocybin works by supporting
1:01:47
your brain's natural ability to grow and repair
1:01:49
neurons. We're talking improved memory, sharper
1:01:53
concentration, and a steady flow of mental energy
1:01:56
that doesn't leave you jittering, just alert.

Whether you're grinding through a complex project,
1:02:01
studying for a big exam, or you're just trying
1:02:04
to stay locked in on what you're doing, this

is the clarity you've been looking for. Stop

1:02:33
June 4th. Eye of the Tiger at the Montreal Casino.
1:02:43
Katayev, if you remember him, he fought David
1:02:46
Morrell. He's on this. And the interim WBA light
1:02:52
heavyweight title is on the line in the main
1:02:54
event. Albert Ramirez versus Lerone Richards.
1:02:59
It is Eye of the Tiger, so I am expecting a bunch
1:03:03
of one -sided beatdowns and early knockouts.
1:03:07
Eye of the Tiger has very careful matchmaking.
1:03:11
Yeah, they do. In the opposite direction, but
1:03:18
still careful matchmaking, Friday, June 5th,
1:03:21
ProBox TV at the College Park Center in Arlington,
1:03:25
Texas. Do I know anybody on here? Like any alum
1:03:32
that have been on ProBox for a minute? Emilio
1:03:38
Garcia, I think I've seen. Well. Even if you
1:03:45
don't recognize the names. Doesn't matter. Yeah,
1:03:48
Probox puts on... They put on good competitive
1:03:50
fights. So, enjoy that. Saturday, June 6th. It's
1:03:58
D -Day. Lest we forget. Kamada Promotions. It's
1:04:05
gonna be on Lemino. So, good luck watching this
1:04:09
outside of Japan. But this card is stacked. So
1:04:14
that three -day event that got canceled in Kyrgyzstan,
1:04:18
they just took all the best fights from those
1:04:21
three days and put them on one card. As they
1:04:25
should have from the beginning. Yes, I agree.
1:04:30
But this is actually a stacked card. People should
1:04:32
try very hard to find this one. Who do we got?
1:04:38
I'm just going to list them all. Shuri Oka. versus
1:04:42
Adilet Shetkachkin -Bekov. It's a six -round
1:04:49
super flyweight fight. Seiya Meguro versus Nurzigit
1:04:53
Dushabaev. Six rounds at super bantamweight.
1:04:59
Aoi Yokoyama versus Vince Paras. Eight rounds
1:05:03
at bantam. Yokoyama is one of my favorites. Yeah,
1:05:07
he's worth watching. Yeah. Masamichi Yabuki.
1:05:11
Versus Renee Calixto. This is going to be a war.
1:05:17
This is going to be a war. I'm super excited
1:05:20
for this one. Yabuki is always exciting. And
1:05:24
so is Calixto really. IBF super flyweight champ.
1:05:30
Willy Baldo Garcia. Versus Andrew Maloney. So
1:05:34
that's fun. This is what you're doing. Instead
1:05:39
of facing fucking Bam. A. Willy Baldo? I mean,
1:05:43
if my choices were get the shit beat out of me
1:05:46
by Bam or face Andrew Maloney. Fair. Fair point.
1:05:56
Kenneth Lover versus Michael Angeletti. Angeletti?
1:06:04
I don't know. He's American. Lover is another
1:06:11
one of my favorite young guys. I'm hoping he
1:06:18
gets a knockout in this one, and nobody's going
1:06:21
to see it, but, you know. Would be nice if he
1:06:26
got a highlight reel that goes around the internet.
1:06:33
Will we get a highlight reel out of Luis Neri
1:06:36
versus John Real Casimiro? No. Casimero has looked
1:06:43
like he's on death's door for fucking years.
1:06:48
Neary is gonna knock this man out. And if he
1:06:50
doesn't, I am going to be so disappointed. And
1:06:53
I fucking hate both these guys. Absolutely can't
1:06:57
stand either of them. So maybe I'm hoping they
1:07:00
both break an ankle somehow. But... This is the
1:07:09
one... So I'm going to miss this because I'm
1:07:12
going to live fights in Korakuen Hall. But this
1:07:15
is the one I wanted to take my friend to the
1:07:17
bar to watch. Because there's so much hot tea
1:07:21
about this fight. And the whole history of it.
1:07:25
It's too bad it ended up on the 6th. I'd already
1:07:28
bought tickets. Booty. But yeah, the main event
1:07:35
is just a villain fight in Japan. Lesser of two
1:07:39
evils, cheering? I mean, I'm gonna have to pull
1:07:45
for Neri. I fucking hate Casamero with a passion,
1:07:49
and his fans are so delusional. I don't know
1:07:52
how anyone still cheers for this man. Well, at
1:07:56
least Luis Neri has at least paid his penance,
1:07:59
right? When he got stomped by Inouye? Yeah. Yeah,
1:08:05
I mean, Neri is definitely the lesser of the
1:08:08
two evils. But I just don't like either of them.
1:08:17
But no, this card is stacked and it's fucking
1:08:19
atrocious that it's stuck on Lemino and nobody's
1:08:22
gonna see it. Maybe Dazon will pick it up. I
1:08:27
don't know. It would be really nice, but I doubt
1:08:30
it. matchroom on the zone at the Sheffield Arena.
1:08:40
This one, this is the one that Galalia Fai fell
1:08:44
off. But we do have Leo Atang in a six rounder.
1:08:55
And that's about it. Josh Padley versus Aqib
1:08:58
Fiaz is the main event. Do you know who Aqib
1:09:03
Fiaz is? No idea. Okay. I just know the people's
1:09:09
electrician is... Yeah, you got it here for Padley.
1:09:17
Yeah. There's some sort of bullshit belt on the
1:09:22
line, isn't there? I think the EBU? Yeah. Anyways,
1:09:32
we'll be watching The Electrician. Yeah. Last
1:09:36
thing, Saturday, June 6th, Zufa Boxing 7 in Burnmouth.
1:09:45
I only have the top three fights. Steve McKenna
1:09:48
vs. Casey Streeter. Jack Massey vs. Shavon Clark.
1:09:53
And Chris Billum -Smith vs. Ryan Rozicki. Rozicki's
1:09:59
Canadian. Yes. But I don't think he's ever fought
1:10:08
outside of Canada. I'm expecting a CBS beatdown.
1:10:18
Yeah, he's never fought outside of Canada. Yeah.
1:10:24
He looks like the stereotypical lumberjack Canadian.
1:10:28
It's kind of funny. But that's all we got. On
1:10:35
the docket. D -Day is actually pretty stacked.
1:10:43
You could watch boxing literally all day. Because
1:10:46
you've got Japan, the UK, and then... Also UK.
1:10:49
Oh, I guess the Zufa is also UK. I was assuming
1:10:52
it was American. You could storm a beach in the
1:10:56
evening if you wanted. Yeah. I mean, if you start
1:11:01
drinking when you're watching the Kameda card.
1:11:04
You'll be primed to storm a beach. Have you seen
1:11:16
this Japanese kickboxer chick? Her name is Mona
1:11:21
Kimura. She does this thing where she hops on
1:11:25
one foot and then just kicks. Oh, I do know her.
1:11:28
Like she does the right side kicks. Yeah. She
1:11:34
uses her kick as a jab somehow. It's super impressive.
1:11:41
And people seriously struggle with how to get
1:11:45
around it. I think it's a good... She's the embodiment
1:11:53
of the adage that Bruce Lee coined, which was,
1:11:58
I do not fear a man who's practiced 10 ,000 kicks.
1:12:01
I fear the man who's kicked... Practice one kick
1:12:04
10 ,000 times. Yeah. She is a master of that.
1:12:08
That one fucking kick, and she will fuck you
1:12:11
up with it. I don't... This might sound racist,
1:12:17
but I'm gonna push through. She reminds me of...
1:12:20
Who's the one from... Is it Street Fighter? Chun
1:12:22
-Li? Chun -Li, yeah. Yeah. She really reminds
1:12:27
me of that in real life. She does... She gets
1:12:31
the comparison a lot. I've seen some of her videos
1:12:33
on social media, like her training videos and
1:12:36
stuff. Yeah. And people always give her the Chun
1:12:39
Li. Yeah. It is really impressive. I don't know
1:12:44
how she, like, keeps her leg in that position
1:12:47
for such extended periods of time. One training
1:12:51
video I saw was she does a treadmill. It's not
1:12:55
a slow setting, but, like, she hops just over
1:12:58
and over and over. With her leg up in the sidekick
1:13:02
position? That's crazy. That's what made me think
1:13:06
of the Bruce Lee thing. You have perfected the
1:13:11
one kick, and nobody can figure it out somehow.
1:13:15
It's pretty fucking impressive. Yeah, well, using
1:13:19
a kick as a jab is madness. She came up on my
1:13:27
feed, so I thought I'd... Ask if you've seen
1:13:30
her. Yeah, I didn't recognize her name, but I
1:13:34
have definitely seen her. And she is also super
1:13:40
cute. I wasn't going to mention that part, but
1:13:46
yeah. I'll mention it for you. Thanks. She's
1:13:50
fucking adorable. Now I'm not such a perv. I'm
1:13:54
just confirming what you already said. She also
1:13:56
does the Chun -Li hair sometimes. Yeah. That's
1:14:07
all we got on the docket. We are heading into
1:14:10
D -Day. Parting words. Find a way to watch the
1:14:15
Kameda card. I don't usually push the Kamedas,
1:14:18
but that card is stacked. It's a good card. Yeah,
1:14:23
if you like people under 100... 30 pounds. You've
1:14:27
got to find this card. Probably under 120 pounds,
1:14:34
actually, now that I think about it. No, the
1:14:38
Neri Casimiro is at 126. Yeah, that's under 130.
1:14:45
Yeah, so you got it with 130. Also, that's the
1:14:49
worst fight on the card, I swear to God. got
1:15:01
nothing to add. That is going to do it for this
1:15:06
edition of Boxing Before Dark. We'll see you
1:15:09
on the other side of the stack June 6th. Bye!
1:15:30
A boxing fan watch MMA. Okay, here's my pitch.
1:15:36
The reason that a boxing fan would consider watching
1:15:40
MMA in the year of our Lord, 2026, is that MMA
1:15:44
is cheaper and more accessible than it's ever
1:15:46
been in its lifetime. Our biggest organization,
1:15:50
the UFC, has done away with pay -per -views.
1:15:52
It's now just like a $15 a month payment to Paramount
1:15:56
+, and you get 40... plus fight cards a year
1:16:00
um and it's not just the UFC you have organizations
1:16:04
like 1FC and Ryzen that put stuff directly on
1:16:09
YouTube for free to watch and you're able to
1:16:13
see a wide variety of high level skills like
1:16:15
this is not just like amateur or shit unless
1:16:18
we're talking about the heavyweight division
1:16:20
but boxing fans can relate to uh the gap of skill
1:16:23
there um you know these are some of the most
1:16:26
talented athletes in the world and they're fighting
1:16:29
especially if i can point out the muay thai stuff
1:16:32
that happens in one fc it's phenomenal um another
1:16:36
reason that a boxing fan would want this would
1:16:38
want to jump in now is that i think unlike a
1:16:42
lot of the cards you're used to watching in boxing
1:16:43
mma cards are worth watching from the start like
1:16:49
you don't have to wait until the co -main to
1:16:51
see something that isn't complete nerd shit most
1:16:55
of the times you're seeing even if it's a lower
1:16:58
skill uh feeling you're still seeing fights that
1:17:03
are exciting and compelling to watch um we just
1:17:06
came off the backs of UFC 327 and that card top
1:17:10
to bottom was like absolutely stacked so great
1:17:13
example you can watch the whole thing for you
1:17:17
know in bits and pieces or from start to finish
1:17:20
and paramount plus right now, if you subscribe,
1:17:22
so paramount, give us some money. We're doing,
1:17:25
doing marketing for you. So that would be my
1:17:28
pitch. Perfect. If you do decide to give MMA
1:17:31
a shot, then why don't you check out ultimate
1:17:33
effing casuals? It's kind of the same format.
1:17:35
We talked the fights that happened in the past
1:17:37
weekend. Then the stuff coming up this weekend,
1:17:40
give it a shot. It's ultimate effing casuals.
