[BxBD] Catching up on December · Boxing B-Sides

0:00
This shit ain't nothing to me, man. So, let's
0:24
fucking boogie. That's where I'm gonna... Do
0:29
my editing. Boxing before dark. It's been a dark
0:36
period without us, hasn't it? So dark. Boxing
0:41
is back, baby. Oh, the big news. Terrence Crawford
0:48
retires. Yeah. I was a little surprised. I wasn't.
0:56
Not so much. I thought he might take a few more
1:00
fights, but I knew this was coming, right? It
1:03
was imminent. I knew it was soon, but I thought
1:07
after the Canelo win, he'd take, excuse me, like
1:10
one or two more big fights, kind of like victory
1:14
lap money grab -ish. Like Floyd did with Andre
1:20
Berto? Yeah. I'm still not convinced that Crawford
1:26
doesn't come back. for something. Like, he gave
1:32
up all the belts and stuff, so clearly that's
1:35
not what he's after, but if he gets offered a
1:38
bunch of money to have an exhibition with Floyd
1:42
Mayweather or something, although I don't think
1:45
Floyd would do that, but... Hmm. I think if they
1:52
could line up a shot at Undisputed for 160, He
1:57
would take that? Yeah, in one or two fights.
2:00
Yeah. Yeah, I think Janabek popping really ruined
2:05
Crawford's plans. Yeah, to sweep up 160 as well.
2:10
Yeah, because that was a unification fight, right?
2:13
Janabek? Janabek and Lara, yeah. Yeah. That would
2:18
have gave him two belts, and then he's just got...
2:20
That would have given him three. Three. Okay.
2:23
Yeah. So that was definitely what Crawford was
2:26
planning. Yep. Would have given him an easy...
2:32
I don't know. I think Janabek would have been
2:34
not as... I think that would have been a harder
2:36
fight than Canelo gave him. I think so too. Yeah.
2:42
Just a little bit more awkward. Well, better
2:45
footwork, better movement. Yeah. Canelo's really
2:49
kind of slow with his feet. Especially now. Yeah,
2:55
he's definitely not gotten better as he's aged.
3:00
Yeah, I don't know. A bunch of people are like,
3:02
no, Crawford's completely retired. He wouldn't
3:05
say it and not do it, but I don't know. Crawford's
3:08
still shelling for Saudi so bad. I feel like
3:12
he's trying to line up something. He is. He's
3:17
really pushing for the ring being the only legitimate
3:21
title. Come on, man. Yeah. Like, if you're actually
3:26
retired, you probably don't care that much. Right.
3:31
Go run your gym in Omaha. Go shoot guns and go
3:36
fishing. Yeah, enjoy your retirement. Yeah, if
3:43
he's actually retired, like, I'm happy for him.
3:47
Going out on top is always a good thing. I do
3:51
think it's a good time for him to retire. I'm
3:54
just not convinced it's serious. Other than the
4:00
160 undisputed, if he was able to finagle that,
4:04
I don't see a lot of reasons for him to come
4:08
out of retirement. I guess if the money was big
4:11
enough for a Canelo rematch, maybe. Yeah, I just...
4:18
I don't know. I think if he was really, really
4:20
retired, he would quit kind of pushing the company
4:27
line so hard. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm reaching,
4:33
but I don't know. It feels like he's still working
4:36
for Saudi. It doesn't feel like he's retired.
4:40
Maybe he's trying to line up commentary work
4:44
or something, but Crawford would be an awful
4:46
commentator. uh no in my opinion he would be
4:50
more of like um operations for the ring you know
4:54
oh okay work like making their fights or something
4:59
like being it's kind of like promoting a little
5:01
bit but he was so shit at promoting himself like
5:04
i didn't i don't think crawford's good at those
5:07
things he hasn't appeared to be good at those
5:10
things for his whole career uh yeah something
5:14
that requires a bit of a personality Yeah, like...
5:18
A boisterous personality. I just, I don't...
5:24
There's some fighters that you can easily see
5:27
going into the business side of things. I don't
5:30
see Crawford transitioning well into business.
5:34
Not as a front man. Maybe as like a trainer,
5:38
because... technically he's really good and like
5:41
he's super smart and he doesn't have one of those
5:44
styles that i think means he can't teach anyone
5:47
like he's not a roy jones jr right right i see
5:53
what you mean i i he doesn't run on raw talent
5:57
crawford actually like works at it Not that other
6:04
people don't work at it, but you know what I
6:05
mean. Like, it's not 100 % raw talent. I can
6:08
see Crawford being good in the gym, like as a
6:11
trainer and stuff, but a promoter or a personality
6:14
of any kind, I just, I don't see that going well.
6:18
Even any of the business stuff, I don't, Crawford
6:22
doesn't strike me as good at that. Yeah, I don't
6:26
think he has the right personality to be in front
6:29
of the camera doing stuff. I can see him becoming
6:33
a good trainer. But do you have to suck Saudi
6:39
ass to be a good trainer? That's the move that's
6:43
kind of weird. That's what makes me think he's
6:45
angling for a business position. Yeah. I guess
6:52
if they like you, they'll take your fighters.
6:59
Yeah, it'll get his... The kids out of Omaha
7:02
get them paid, so that's nice. Yeah, that's good.
7:07
I don't know. Maybe he's retired completely from
7:11
boxing, but I'm just not convinced yet. But as
7:18
it stands, retires 42 -0, 31 stoppages, five
7:23
-division champion, three -division undisputed.
7:27
Crazy. Holy shit, what a resume. Yeah. Is that
7:32
better than Floyd Mayweather? I don't think he
7:38
fought as good a competition as Floyd. Not nearly.
7:43
So, resume -wise, no. But straight -up accolades?
7:49
I mean, three -weight undisputed, Floyd didn't
7:51
do that. I don't think Floyd did one. Yeah, like,
7:56
actual things you've done on paper, Crawford's
8:01
is better, I think. Yeah, different eras, I guess.
8:06
Different emphasis, like, career -wise. Yeah.
8:12
As much as Crawford has switched to saying the
8:14
belts don't matter, that's all he ever chased
8:16
was belts. Yeah, and then the belts are what
8:20
made him as... Formidable for accolades. It's
8:28
the belts that made him such a gold medal winner.
8:35
But moving on, WBO orders Hamza Shiraz versus
8:39
Diego Pacheco for the now vacant 168 title. This
8:47
could be fun. I think it's too soon for Pacheco.
8:50
You think so? I do. You think Shiraz has it?
8:53
Uh, as much as I don't, I will be cheering for
8:56
Diego Pacheco, but I'm going to be, I'm not going
8:59
to be like, uh, like the way the guys are with,
9:03
uh, Osley's Iglesias. Yeah. I'm not going to
9:06
be like that. Fair. Um, I'll be, it'll be, uh,
9:11
quiet, a little bit more reserved support. Yeah.
9:17
I, I don't watch these guys a whole bunch. I
9:21
know Shiraz is more of a boxer, right? Like an
9:25
outboxer. Pacheco's going to have trouble with
9:29
that, I think. He's more of just a puncher. And
9:36
he has defensive lapses that are kind of obvious.
9:39
Yeah, we'll talk about that when we recap his
9:42
fight with Sajo. Yeah, but I think it's a good
9:46
fight. Like, whether Pacheco's ready is another
9:52
question, but I think it's just a good fight.
9:57
And I like that they're having the younger guys
9:59
fight each other more often lately. Yeah. The
10:05
emphasis on being undefeated is fading. I like
10:11
that. I don't care if fighters have a loss or
10:14
two, personally. I don't either. Like if they
10:19
test themselves, then sometimes you come up short.
10:22
It happens. Yeah. And you move on. I actually,
10:26
I kind of like when people, I don't like when
10:29
they lose, but I like to know that they challenge
10:32
themselves enough to lose. Right. And that they
10:36
can come back from that because coming back from
10:39
a loss is like mentally a big test. Right. Like
10:44
when Stephen Fulton got iced by Inouye, And then
10:49
he came back big against Brandon Figueroa again.
10:52
That was exciting. That was great. I was really
10:55
happy. And then he comes in fucking overweight.
11:00
And then he imploded. Yeah. You know, that one
11:04
fight was good. Maybe he overgassed himself.
11:09
Well, the new tattoo was ridiculous. I can't
11:13
be stopped. Fucking stupid. Another WBO mandatory,
11:23
Joe Cordina versus Abdullah Mason. I think this
11:31
is also a good matchup. I'm excited about these
11:34
fights. Cordina's a step up for Abdullah. I know
11:37
other people don't like Cordina, but I'm a fan.
11:42
Cordina's coming off a nice win that we'll be
11:46
talking about as well. I thought he looked really
11:49
good, yeah. Yeah. Troy Isley. I know the world
11:58
has been waiting to hear what he's up to, but
12:00
he's a promotional free agent. So congrats on
12:04
your new freedom. Hopefully you land yourself
12:07
a nice deal somewhere. Ooh, Devin Haney versus
12:12
Lewis Crocker to unify the WBO and IBF. welterweight
12:18
titles which one is lewis crocker oh i don't
12:26
think this is a very good matchup no lewis crocker's
12:31
pretty one -sided yep yeah yeah i i don't know
12:40
devin haney i guess needs probably some more
12:45
um Mental reinforcement. Although he looked good
12:49
in his last fight. He did. He looked fantastic
12:52
in his last fight. Yeah. And Lewis Crocker, easy
12:56
belt. Make yourself the man at 147. Yeah. I mean,
13:00
it's for unification, so I can't call it cherry
13:03
picking or anything. But that does seem like
13:06
an easy belt to scoop up. Hmm. The... Mario Barrios,
13:15
Ryan Garcia undercard has been announced. Armando
13:21
Resendiz versus Edgar Berlanga for the WBA 168
13:26
title. GAR versus Andy Hiraoka. He has one of
13:32
the 140 titles GAR does. Yeah. Don't remember
13:36
which exactly. I think it's the WBA. Yeah, I
13:44
don't remember. I'm trying to figure out which
13:49
one is Resendiz. Undersized guy. He fought Kayla
13:54
Plant to win the, I think, the regular title.
13:59
Yeah. That seems like a matchup in Berlanga's
14:07
favor, I assume. It might be. Because Resendiz
14:12
did get beat up by Elijah Garcia at 160. Well,
14:17
Berlanga's just bigger. Right? Yes. I'm not saying
14:27
that Berlanga definitely wins, but I feel like
14:30
they picked somebody that suits Berlanga. Resendiz
14:38
does... He's... Full -on, like, Mexican style.
14:42
So, at least it'll be fireworks. Yeah, well,
14:47
and I kind of hope Berlanga loses and disappears,
14:51
but I don't think that'll happen. And they have
14:57
Lester Martinez versus TBA. If it's not Imbilia,
15:03
I don't care. Yeah. I want that rematch. That's
15:10
not fair. I do care. I like Lester. But I want
15:15
that Mbili rematch. It's weird that they don't
15:21
have an opponent yet. I think. When is that card?
15:26
It's January? I think it's at the end of January.
15:32
Yeah, that's getting really close. That's like
15:35
four weeks away. They should have him an opponent.
15:42
Yeah, there's not a lot of good... good opposition
15:46
available. That's true. Because... Yeah, everybody
15:51
kind of fought at 168, didn't they? Yes. Or they're
15:57
busy. Yeah. Jamal Charlo? Ugh. I... No. I mean,
16:10
Lester beating up Jamal Charlo would be pretty
16:13
funny. And I think Lester could take either of
16:20
the Charlos right now. Yeah, I think you're right.
16:27
But speaking of this card, have you seen Ryan
16:30
Garcia in a gym at all? No, I've been seeing
16:33
him working out at home. Yeah. I think Ryan might
16:39
blow this one too. I know Barrios is shit. Don't
16:44
get me wrong. But if Barrios can just keep his
16:48
right hand at home. Like, Ryan Garcia is not
16:54
taking this seriously. He's fucking hitting pads
16:59
with Instagram girls. As far as I can tell. Maybe
17:06
it's going to be like the Haney fight and it'll
17:10
all be some... Like, oh, he was really taking
17:16
it serious. He was just making it look like he
17:18
wasn't. But I don't know, man. This feels a little
17:23
different. I fucking hate Ryan Garcia. I hope
17:28
Barrios knocks him out cold. I don't think it'll
17:31
happen, but I can wish for it. I'm just hoping
17:37
for a draw. That would also be fucking hilarious.
17:41
Three belt defenses as draw. Yep. That would
17:46
be too good. That would be really funny, but
17:50
I also want Ryan Garcia to lose to the worst
17:52
belt holder in modern history. You think he's
17:58
the worst? No, I don't know. That was for exaggeration.
18:02
I'm sure there's probably somebody who's worse.
18:05
Maybe. I don't know. He might be. He might be
18:09
the worst at what weight class is this? 147?
18:11
Yeah. I think if I narrow it to 147, that statement
18:15
is true. There's some people get those like really
18:20
small titles that are kind of really ass. Barrios
18:24
and Raleigh are... I think Raleigh's better than
18:29
Barrios. I think so too. Rolly already beat Ryan,
18:35
so we just need Barrios to do it. Then Devin
18:43
Haney and Lewis Crocker are busy. Imagine. It
18:49
won't happen, but imagine Barrios and Crocker
18:52
win and fight to unify next. Oh. The storylines
18:58
would be... Boxing is dead. Yeah. I don't think
19:05
Haney will fuck it up, but I could see Ryan fucking
19:08
it up. Hmm. That's all I had for the news. Yeah.
19:22
Oh, well, breaking news, I guess. This will come
19:26
out afterwards, but Taraji's off. Oh. Boo. Willie
19:31
Baldo Garcia ended up in the hospital making
19:35
weight. Or, sorry, I think that's not true. He
19:40
pulled out from illness is what the official
19:42
line is. There is a really bad flu going around
19:47
in Tokyo. I could see him having caught the flu
19:51
while making weight and not being able to fight.
19:54
But that's the fight I was most excited for tonight.
19:58
Yeah. Like by far the one I was most excited
20:02
for. I kind of don't even care now. Hmm. Keyshawn
20:10
Davis is moving to 147 in the coming year. That
20:19
would be a hilarious crash out fight. Keyshawn
20:22
Davis and Ryan Garcia. Who implodes the worst.
20:30
Probably Keyshawn Davis, actually, would be my
20:33
guess. I'm trying to skim this article and see
20:43
who Jake Paul's next opponent is supposed to
20:49
be. He called out Canelo from the hospital. And
20:53
he called out Francis Ngannou as well. Fucking
20:59
crazy. Alright. What else do I have here? Kishan.
21:10
Jaron Ennis versus Virgil Ortiz has hit more
21:18
roadblocks thanks to Virgil Ortiz's manager.
21:21
So that's nice. Oh, I do have good news um but
21:30
i don't remember the specifics so shigeoka is
21:34
the one that was in the hospital i assumed forever
21:38
but he's being sent home um this week i think
21:45
he's being sent home and his brother who retired
21:49
and opened his cafe his wife is having a baby
21:53
soon oh that's nice Yeah, so, I mean, not boxing
21:58
-adjacent news, but the Shigeokas seem to be
22:02
moving forward with life despite the injury.
22:12
If it wasn't so damn far away, I would go to
22:14
that cafe, but that would be the most expensive
22:18
cup of coffee ever. Yeah, not quite worth it.
22:23
It's like when I stop... Went out of my way to
22:25
go to Danny Garcia's barbershop. Like, I had
22:30
the intention of getting a haircut, but the line
22:32
was pretty ridiculous. Right. And the prices
22:36
were also really stupid. I mean, I'm not surprised.
22:40
Yeah. All right. Let me put some notes in here

25:19
And here we go. Recap shit. Bash on Prime pay
25:27
-per -view. Ace Mission Studios. I can't believe
25:33
they made this pay -per -view. I couldn't either.
25:36
That's fucking ridiculous. Even though the price
25:39
was... The price was $35. That's still too high.
25:44
It is way too high. Anything more than free is
25:48
too high for this card. It's not just that it's
25:51
Badu Jack as the main, because I like Badu Jack,
25:54
but the rest of the card was shit. Yes. There
25:58
was absolutely no one else on it. Exactly. And
26:01
they made you pay $35 for it? Yeah. Ridiculous.
26:04
I wasn't too pleased either. Fucking ridiculous.
26:09
And Badu Jack drops it. Norair McHaleon is now
26:15
the WBC Cruiserweight champ. Yay. High strangeness
26:22
going on in this one. This was a long time ago,
26:27
Leo. You have to remind me. Sorry. The corners.
26:30
They started fighting. They continued fighting
26:33
at the end of round six or seven. And then the
26:37
corners rushed into the ring. Right, and security
26:41
rushed in and everything, and then they just
26:45
continued? Like, I've seen... Yeah, I've seen
26:50
people rush the ring and shit before, but, like,
26:54
I haven't seen the fight just go on like that.
27:00
Like, they just went to their corners and came
27:04
out. Like, nothing happened. I don't think I've
27:08
seen that before. It was super weird. I mean,
27:13
I guess it's fine. Was there a point deduction
27:20
in this one too, I think? Was there? No, maybe
27:24
not. Sorry, it's like two weeks ago. A little
27:29
bit more. My shit memory is shit. Mikaelian deducted
27:37
one point in round seven for hitting behind the
27:39
head. Okay, that's what I'm thinking of. And
27:43
Badu Jack deducted one point for hitting after
27:46
the referee called stop in round eight. Okay,
27:51
so they canceled out. Yeah. It was just a dirty,
27:55
shitty fight. Like, it was not fun to watch this
27:58
one. No. No. So, if you missed it, you didn't
28:03
miss it. It's just the meme factor of the rushing
28:08
the ring, the point deductions. It's just, if
28:11
you want to laugh, then you can get it for free.
28:14
Go for it, but don't pay for it. I can't believe
28:18
they charged for it. Yeah, there's not a whole
28:24
bunch to say about this one, I don't think. Like,
28:27
Bado Jack's just getting old. I kind of wonder
28:30
if he retires now. Kind of feel like he should.
28:33
I would imagine he does. I mean, dude's, what
28:38
is he, like, 40? 42? Yeah. Like, honestly, he
28:49
did really well with his talent level, and I
28:52
think now you go home to Sweden. Yep. Not much
28:59
for him to do. Not much for Badu to do. Badu
29:03
to do. Michaelian, on the other hand, I think
29:07
Opataya called him out, and I think he mentioned
29:11
Opataya as well. I mean, that would be... Unifications
29:16
are always good. Yes. Always good in my book,
29:20
but that's going to be pretty lopsided. Yeah.
29:26
Like, has Opataya really fought any... Good people?
29:35
I don't know how to put it. Like, most of the
29:37
people he fights seem kind of shit. They kind
29:40
of are. Like, who's his best win? Myrus Bredis?
29:46
Yeah, Bredis. That's as good as it gets. I think
29:51
Michaelian's just as good as Bredis, if not better.
29:56
Bredis, when they fought, was like 40 years old.
30:00
So... Yeah, I... I think this would be a step
30:06
up for Opataya. I know he's had the belt forever,
30:09
but I still think this would be a step up. That
30:12
he shouldn't stumble on, but... He stumbled on
30:16
his last one, like he was supposed to... If you
30:20
only saw the knockout against... What was the
30:23
dude's name? I don't remember. Skweo? No. King
30:29
Kara. King Kara. Yeah. If you only saw the knockout,
30:33
you would think it was just another dominant
30:35
performance, but that shit took him to round
30:38
eight to do. And Obataya got hit. Yeah, he got
30:43
hit a lot. Yeah. So it really does beg the question,
30:49
like, how good is Obataya really? Yeah, that's
30:53
kind of what I was getting at. Like, I don't
30:55
think we've seen Obataya challenged, so you don't
31:00
know. I don't know if Mikaelian's the one who's
31:04
really going to challenge him, but I think he's
31:06
closer to it than fucking Squeo and whatever
31:11
this guy was. Chinkara. I don't know. I want
31:18
to see Obataya fight some live bodies soon. Mikaelian's
31:23
as close to a live body as we got. Other than
31:26
Zerto. Yeah. Who just called out Zerto? David
31:34
Benavidez? Yeah. Honestly, I'd rather see Benavidez
31:38
Zerto than Opataya Zerto. I don't really care
31:42
that much about cruiserweight belts. I don't
31:46
think anybody does. Yeah. But yeah, if Mikaelian
31:52
and Opataya fought Dext, I think that's good.
31:55
That's what they should do. I'll cheer for McKaylee
32:00
and just for the memes. Oh, man. Moving on. Also
32:08
on the 13th, Matchroom at the Stockton Arena
32:10
in Stockton, California. Oh, shit. Chavon Clark
32:15
got a nice stoppage over Anthony Holloway. Anthony
32:19
Holloway was out of his element by round two.
32:23
Yeah. Some UDs. Ernesto Mercado. KO6 over Antonio
32:33
Moran. Mercado looked pretty damn good. Another
32:38
player at 140. At least close. I would say he's
32:41
at like the Hiraoka level -ish. Maybe not because
32:46
Hiraoka is about a challenge for a title. So
32:47
not quite there. But he's close. He's getting
32:51
close. He's getting there. He's somebody to watch.
32:56
He's not old, is he? No, Mercado is like 20.
33:00
He's young. Super young. But he's someone to
33:05
keep an eye on in 2026. I think so. He looked
33:09
good. Princess Skye Nicholson had a fucking war.
33:16
Had a nice fight with Julian Luna Avila. Interim
33:23
title. I may have fallen asleep in this one.
33:30
As we were talking about earlier, Joe Cordina
33:33
gets the UD over Gabe Flores. I'm surprised he
33:36
didn't stop him. He was in control from the midpoint
33:41
onward. Yeah. Flores took a lot of punches. I
33:47
think Cordina's not the hardest hitter. He's
33:51
got that one highlight knockout, but he's not
33:53
like... a power guy right that's the exception
33:56
not the rule yeah i think i think flores was
34:00
just tough i thought cordina looked really good
34:03
i was excited about his win i like joe cordina
34:07
so yep so that that win set him up for a title
34:11
shot against abdullah mason so congrats uh gabe
34:15
flores continues to be relegated to lower and
34:18
lower levels I don't think Flores looked completely
34:23
terrible. I just, he's not title level. He's
34:29
a good step up guy. I think he'll do numbers
34:33
in Stockton if they keep him there. Well, I'd
34:37
like to watch him again. I'm not saying he needs
34:40
to stop. I just, I don't think he's like, he's
34:45
a minus. You think so? I think so. Diego Pacheco
34:54
gets dropped en route to a UD over Kevin Lele
35:00
Sajo. I think Sajo surprised a lot of people.
35:05
It definitely surprised me. Yeah. I was not expecting
35:11
him to make it rough and tumble on the inside.
35:14
Did not expect him to score a knockdown. And
35:17
I did not expect the cards to be as wide as they
35:20
were. Let me see what they were. I thought the
35:26
115 -112 was good. But the 117 -110 is Fantasyland.
35:35
I don't know how they saw that one. Pacheco has
35:44
holes. He got hit a lot. And he's not improving
35:50
them. Yeah. He's with a new trainer, so I guess
35:57
that's something. Yeah. Something to think about,
36:03
but. Like, I don't know. I know they really,
36:08
really want Pacheco to be really good, and I
36:11
don't know if he's going to be really good, but
36:14
I guess we'll see. He is exciting. I will always
36:17
tune in for a Pacheco fight. Yeah, and he's on
36:22
his way to fighting Shiraz for a title, so. Guess
36:27
it worked. Guess it worked out. Sajo should get
36:30
a nice few fights out of this. Yeah, I would
36:36
watch Sajo again. Definitely. Like him versus
36:39
like Mbili or Lester Martinez wouldn't be bad.
36:45
Yeah. Where's Mbili from originally? Is he Cameroonian
36:48
as well? Yes. The French Cameroonian face -off?
36:53
I think that would be a really fun fight, actually.
36:58
But Mbili has more important stuff to do right
37:01
now, though. Unfortunately for Sajo. Yeah. These
37:06
French motherfuckers coming out of nowhere, though.
37:10
What the hell? Saras was the beginning. Somebody
37:16
has to put a stop to this. The French Revolution.
37:22
We got a lot more to go, so let's fucking keep
37:25
it rolling. Okay. On Wednesday, December 17th,
37:29
first No Limit at the TikTok Entertainment Center
37:33
in Sydney, Australia. Sam Goodman sweeps Tyler
37:39
Blizzard. Not too surprised, as much as I was
37:43
pulling for Tyler. Did not see that going well
37:47
for him. I miss these. Tim Zhu looked pretty
37:54
fucking mid against Anthony Velasquez. He did
37:57
win a pretty clean decision, but he didn't impress.
38:03
For rebranding himself as the Phoenix, he didn't
38:08
really impress as well as he should have. Did
38:13
he have a jab this time? Yes, he did. So the
38:17
Cuban's working a little bit. Yeah, it's his
38:21
first fight with a new trainer, so I guess I'll
38:25
withhold judgment. But I'm a little, I don't
38:30
know, not feeling it. Unimpressed? Yeah. I really
38:34
want Tim Zhu to make a comeback. I do too. Hopefully
38:36
this is just growing pains. Taken at the Kokugikan.
38:45
in tokyo yeah i was at this one of course all
38:50
right so what's the scouting report on seigo
38:52
yuri akui yeah he's uh he's kind of getting old
38:58
but he's always fun to watch i was really excited
39:02
that he got the knockout i i jumped out of my
39:06
seat it was great like anytime you see him on
39:11
a card tune in in time to see him he's always
39:15
fun he either wins or he gets knocked the fuck
39:18
out those are his two options yeah i'm trying
39:23
to think of there's a i never mind there's somebody
39:27
else that hat was given that i think it was on
39:30
the mma side though ah yeah like he's 22 and
39:36
three but all three knockouts are or sorry all
39:39
three losses are knockouts so You're going to
39:44
have to kill him to beat him. It's pretty true,
39:47
though. It was fun. It wasn't a very long fight.
39:55
Rene Santiago split decision over Kiyosuke Takami.
40:00
This was a really good fight. I gave it to Takami,
40:05
but I'm pretty biased. I would recommend this
40:13
one. It was really back and forth. They were
40:16
both... I also just fucking hate Santiago because
40:20
he keeps coming and beating my fighters. Because
40:24
he beat Iwata earlier in the year. Same thing,
40:31
I think. Oh no, he was unanimous decision. Boo
40:35
this man. Boo this man. Um... Anthony Ola Squaga
40:42
stops Taku Kuwahara. Ola Squaga leaned into the
40:48
princess and Christmas themes in the most hilarious
40:51
way possible. I don't know if anybody else saw
40:54
his walkout, but he walked out in a green robe
40:58
with the white trim, like a Santa suit, to the
41:03
Grinch song. Like, you're a mean one. mr mr grinch
41:10
and then proceeded to knock kuwahara out fast
41:15
like that was really one -sided i all the squaga
41:20
looked great um he curtsied when they introduced
41:24
him and uh when when he won and they they were
41:31
taking pictures and stuff he had like a santa
41:33
sack of stolen presents so cheesy I remember
41:38
seeing that on socials. Yeah, yeah. So, super
41:42
cheesy, but I loved everything about it. And
41:45
he looked really good. Ola Squaga looked fucking
41:48
unbeatable in that fight. I don't know that Kuwajara
41:52
is the best possible competition, but Ola Squaga
41:56
looked really good. This was a flyweight fight?
42:05
Yeah. Kuohara had lost to Akui a couple fights
42:11
ago. Olusquaga Akui would be fun, but Akui would
42:19
die, I think. So it would be another knockout,
42:26
would be my prediction. In the main, Seiya Tsutsumi.
42:35
Split decision over Nonito Donair. I was so nervous
42:40
the entire fight. Yeah. Donair looked pretty
42:43
good, especially for being a 44 -year -old man.
42:47
I told you that Donair would catch Tsutsumi.
42:51
I knew it would happen. Tsutsumi's slow as fuck.
42:55
And Donair's slower than he used to be, but his
42:59
hands are still fast. Tsutsumi came out cautious,
43:06
and I was like, you can't fight like this. This
43:08
is not how you fight. And then Donair clipped
43:12
him in early, like round two or three, and knocked
43:16
him on his ass with a left hook. Like the...
43:22
I think... Yeah, I think there was a knockdown.
43:28
Or maybe he didn't touch the canvas. I can't
43:32
remember. I don't remember a knockdown. Yeah,
43:35
okay, he didn't touch the canvas, but he stumbled
43:37
back and looked like he maybe touched the canvas.
43:42
Anyways, old man Donair had one great fight left.
43:47
Tsutsumi looked like Tsutsumi. Like, he is who
43:51
I like. So, kind of shit defense. Toughed it
43:56
out. Overworked Donair. Donair was looking tired.
44:04
But, yeah, I was super nervous. And then they
44:07
read the Donair card first, and I was like, fuck.
44:10
Because it was a split decision. Super exciting.
44:19
Robert Boyle scored it 116 -112 for Donair. Yeah,
44:24
I think that's madness. Um, Tsutsumi also had
44:29
the best walkout jacket I've ever seen. I ship
44:31
pictures everywhere. It's a embroidered denim
44:36
thing, uh, cut in the old style, the, uh, old
44:41
Japanese style. And it's got like the, uh, tattoo
44:46
style embroidery on the back. So Tsutsumi's renamed
44:50
himself the Cyclone. So it's a Cyclone with a
44:53
dragon in it. Super cool. Holy shit. It's super
44:56
cool. That is intense. If you didn't see the
44:59
pictures I shared, Leo, you need to Google it.
45:02
Yeah, I'm going to look it up. His jacket is
45:09
fucking amazing for the walkout. And the red
45:13
leather jacket crew was there. I almost went
45:16
up and said hello to them. I saw them buying
45:18
beer, but I didn't. I was too nervous. Where
45:23
can I get a jacket? Yeah, no, but serious. I
45:28
bet you those things cost like $500, though.
45:31
Probably. Yeah. Anyways, this fight was perfect
45:36
for me. Like, Donair looked good, but my favorite
45:41
won. So I didn't see an old man die. It was just
45:45
a really good night. Worth traveling on a Wednesday.
45:51
This one didn't have any... U .S. broadcaster,
45:55
so it was next to impossible to find these fights.
45:59
I only found the main event and it was not very
46:03
good quality. That's really disappointing. It
46:08
was a good card. It must have been broadcast
46:13
somewhere because they had Jimmy Lennon Jr. there.
46:17
Everything was in English. But everything was
46:21
in English. They don't usually do that. I can't
46:26
find his jacket. I'll send it to you. I may or
46:31
may not have it saved on my phone. Let's keep
46:36
rolling. We still have a few more to go. Motherfucking
46:41
ProBox on Thursday, December 18th in Fort Lauderdale.
46:45
As usual. ProBox blocked Japan. What? I have
46:53
to VPN now. to watch pro box on youtube yeah
46:58
i can't watch it at work anymore i need to be
47:00
home with my vpn i am so fucking pissed off about
47:03
it i wrote two karen comments like what the fuck
47:08
guys it's blocked in the philippines now too
47:13
because there's a bunch of pinoy guys were pissed
47:16
off that's weird i don't know why they would
47:19
do that i don't either It hasn't been picked
47:24
up by a local broadcast as far as I can tell.
47:26
Like it hasn't moved to Abima or something. Yeah.
47:31
Let's see here. We had Kenyon Valle get the stoppage
47:34
in one. Christina, is this Chessa? Chessa. Also
47:40
stoppage in one. UD, Joshan James, majority decision.
47:46
If I recall correctly, they both, they got a
47:48
double knockdown. in this one oh yeah this was
47:52
super fun i've never seen that live before yeah
47:54
i've never seen that happen but it was pretty
47:57
good the ref handled it kind of weird like he
48:01
counted for martinez he he counted him to eight
48:05
he and then he was you know he was like are you
48:07
good and then he started counting again for uh
48:12
for joshua oh so like joshua got like an extended
48:16
count That is weird. You're supposed to count
48:21
them both. You're supposed to simul -count, yeah.
48:22
Count them both. I suspect that's not something
48:26
that refs practice a whole bunch. Yeah, probably
48:29
not. Marlon Harrington, big KO over Brian Palacco.
48:38
Yeah, that was rough. This one I didn't see.
48:44
Mike Juan Williams. versus George Rodriguez.
48:48
It ended up getting stopped in the fourth for,
48:52
I think, a cut. So it went to the cards, and
48:55
it was a UD for Mike Juan. Hebert Sosa versus
49:02
Elias Espadas was a UD for Hebert. And Ramon
49:08
Cardenas KO5 over Eric Robles. Big KO. Big time.
49:15
Like, possible KO of the year contender, maybe?
49:19
Yeah, I would put it in the contender category
49:21
for sure. Yeah, I don't know if it wins, but
49:23
I think it's on the list. Absolutely. Late. I
49:27
told you guys that Cardenas was good. Yeah. I
49:31
mean, he went 8 with Inoue. That's not nothing.
49:38
Yeah, and he has power. I am so fucking sick
49:42
of the chinny bum memes. I know they do it just
49:45
to piss me off, but... It works. It works. It
49:49
works so well. I fucking hate it. It makes me
49:52
so angry. I thought Cardenas looked really good.
49:56
I know this guy isn't the best competition in
49:59
the world, but... Yeah, he was in control the
50:03
entire time. Like, there was nothing to worry
50:05
about. Hopefully he gets himself back into a
50:09
big fight. I think he deserves it. I think Cardenas
50:13
has shown he's pretty good. Hold on. Where's
50:20
he at? He is 12th on BoxRec. There's good names
50:32
in there that are available. Marlon Topoles,
50:36
MJ. Yeah, I would like to see him against any
50:41
of the Inouye victims. Yeah, sweep up the leftovers,
50:47
as they like to say. Where's he ranked in the
50:54
actual belt, guys? Cardenas is number two for
51:02
the WBA, just behind Junto. Junto got put first
51:06
by everybody. Of course. He's number five by
51:12
the WBC. And he's not listed on the other two.
51:19
I think. But yeah, Cardenas versus honestly anyone
51:30
I think would be fun. Topalas would be good.
51:36
MJ? I don't think MJ wants to take another hard
51:40
fight right now, though. God. Neary? Watching
51:45
Cardenas knock out Neary would make me happy.
51:55
Yeah, I don't see him listed in WBO. All right.
52:02
Friday, December 19th. This is what you've been
52:09
waiting for. Yeah, this is why everybody tuned
52:13
in today. Oh, I'm going to skip a lot of them,
52:17
but Anderson Silva knocked out Tyrone Woodley
52:20
in two. Well, the coroner pulled the plug in
52:24
two. I saw some pretty funny memes. Silva said
52:29
he wants to be a cop. There's a bunch of, we
52:32
might get Silva versus John Jones yet. That made
52:36
me laugh. Atheist Griffin with a big knockout.
52:45
That was a nice way to start the... Yeah. Start
52:49
the card. Caroline Dubois defends her title.
52:54
WBC lightweight. Whatever. It was pretty nothing
53:00
opponent. Yeah, I'm surprised Dubois didn't get
53:04
the knockout. Jocasta Valle with a close shave.
53:13
Majority decision over Yadira Bustillos. Undisputed
53:22
bantamweight champ, Sharnika Johnson gets the
53:24
dub. Alicia Baumgartner, three -belt champ. She
53:30
does not have WBC because she did 12 rounds by
53:33
3 minutes. Which is dumb, but... Yeah, this fight
53:42
sucked. Yeah, it wasn't very impressive. This
53:45
is a bad co -main for anything, but, like...
53:49
I don't want to shit on women's boxing, but this...
53:54
Putting women's boxing as the co -main on Netflix
53:58
is not how you get new fans. Especially not one
54:02
-sided bullshit like this. It's gotta be like
54:06
Serrano -Taylor. Yeah. And you can't... You can't
54:12
bet that women's boxing is gonna be like that
54:15
ever. Like... I don't know. I just... Also, Baumgartner
54:24
versus some no -name Canadian, it's not a good
54:28
co -mate. Especially to make it, whatever, 12
54:37
minutes longer, 20 minutes longer than it usually
54:41
is, not a good decision. You know what else was,
54:50
well, was it a bad decision? for Jake Paul to
54:53
get his ass knocked out in six by Anthony Joshua?
54:58
I am disappointed in Joshua. I said it before.
55:01
If it takes more than three, I'm disappointed.
55:04
Yeah. Jake Paul was, like, was fighting really
55:09
terribly, though. Yeah, but Joshua should be
55:14
able to deal with that. I don't know. I just...
55:21
Joshua looked like shit. I do kind of feel like
55:26
he was trying not to hurt Jake Paul too badly.
55:31
Even though he did end up breaking his jaw in
55:33
two places. Yeah, it's an interesting way of
55:37
trying to not hurt him. But, like, even if you
55:41
watch that punch, it does not look like a 100
55:42
% punch. Maybe. Maybe I'm overestimating Joshua,
55:50
but... Also, the memes out of that are fucking
55:54
awesome. The smile on Joshua's face right before
55:57
he knocked his ass out. Yeah. I will give Jake
56:02
Paul the slightest amount of credit that he got
56:07
up with the broken jaw. He didn't just lay on
56:11
the canvas and cry like I would. I don't know.
56:18
I don't want to see any more of this. stuff i
56:21
do think this does maybe put a bit of a damper
56:29
on it in the future because jake paul really
56:32
did get hurt bad can't be doing fighting like
56:38
real fighters anymore yeah like maybe jake paul
56:42
decides he can just take the punishment but it
56:45
might discourage future mismatches like this
56:49
even just from the um like business side because
56:55
broken jaws will heal but if he did hit him somewhere
56:58
else you know like brain damage or whatever so
57:06
you think the jake paul train is coming to a
57:10
stop i think people will be less interested now
57:14
that they've seen him get hurt I think that's
57:16
why a lot of people watched. And now that it's
57:20
happened the second time, the shine won't be
57:23
so good. Yeah. But I don't know. Maybe I'm overestimating
57:31
the general public. But I think these fights
57:38
are stupid and dangerous. It went about as well
57:42
as it could have for... For Jake. I couldn't
57:49
have expected anything different. I expected
57:51
this to happen sooner, like you. Yeah. Jake Paul
57:57
looks scared, which is understandable, and just
58:01
kind of tried to run away, which is understandable.
58:05
But, like, who wants to see that? Like, there
58:12
was... a small group of people that thought Jake
58:15
Paul would actually fight. But now they know
58:18
he won't. So... I don't get the allure anymore
58:24
now that Jake Paul's been hurt. Anthony Joshua
58:31
immediately called out Tyson Fury. Sure. I mean,
58:36
I still want to see that fight. Yeah, it's several
58:40
years too late, but still. And Jake Paul, as
58:46
we talked about, he called out Canelo and Francis
58:50
Ngannou. Fucking stupid. Yeah. But he also said
58:58
he was thinking of just staying at Cruiserweight
59:01
and climbing the ranks there. He could try. If
59:12
Jake Paul transitioned into being a prospect,
59:16
he'd use his name to get bigger names than he
59:23
probably deserves right away, but I guess I could
59:28
give him respect if he does that, but he doesn't
59:30
do shit. He's not a good boxer. I can't name
59:39
you 10 cruiserweights, but I guarantee there's
59:41
10 cruiserweights to beat Jake Paul. Fucking
59:46
Badoo Jack puts a hurt on Jake Paul. Yeah. And
59:52
I don't know, after losing that fight, he's probably
59:55
down to number 8 or something. Maybe not. Cruiserweights,
1:00:01
really. It's pretty barren. But still. There
1:00:09
has to be 10 professionals that are better than
1:00:12
this guy. Jake Paul is now ranked number 15th
1:00:20
by the WBA, according to Boxing Scene. He was
1:00:23
ranked that before the fight. That's fucking
1:00:25
crazy. That's fucking crazy. Why did... I hate
1:00:31
boxing. Yeah. They did that before the fight.
1:00:34
It was pretty stupid. Did they? I hate boxing.
1:00:38
Chris Billum Smith beats the piss out of Jake
1:00:40
Paul. They could make that one. CBS deserves
1:00:46
a light touch. And a big payout. Yeah. I don't
1:00:53
know if he deserves the big payout, but he took
1:00:56
an ass kicking like a champ. He deserves the
1:00:58
light touch. Anyways, I think that's enough about
1:01:02
that. Yeah. Moving on. Saturday, December 20th.
1:01:07
Really quickly, the WBC Grand Prix is over. The
1:01:12
middleweight winner, Dylan Biggs. Super lightweight,
1:01:16
Carlos Utrilla. Featherweight, Brandon Mejia.
1:01:19
And heavyweight, Kevin Ramirez. Congratulations.
1:01:26
And last thing in the recaps, Salida Promotions.
1:01:31
Tony Harrison knocks out Brian Chavez in four.
1:01:36
Look pretty good doing so. Nice. I don't think
1:01:41
I saw this one. He called out Errol Spence. Nice.
1:01:47
Do you think Spence comes back in the ring? That's
1:01:51
a good question. I don't know. I don't think
1:01:58
so. It's been a long time. It's been a really
1:02:00
long time. If he was going to come back, I would
1:02:03
expect that he would have already. Yeah. I don't
1:02:07
know. I don't think we see Spence again. But
1:02:14
that's it for the recaps. That's a few weeks
1:02:17
to catch up on. So, upcoming shit. Wednesday,
1:02:25
December 31st. Shisei Promotions at the Ota City
1:02:30
Gym. Are you going to this one? Uh, no. I actually
1:02:35
made a friend, and I'm going out for New Year's
1:02:38
this year. Oh, fun. Yeah, I had thought about
1:02:42
this if I was by myself, but I don't know who
1:02:46
Bordas Goidi is. I'm sure I butchered that really
1:02:51
bad. I don't know who he's fighting, and I thought
1:02:53
going out with humans would be better. Yeah,
1:02:56
that's definitely a better use of your time.
1:02:59
I have no idea who any of these people are. Other
1:03:03
than the main event. And that I only know half
1:03:07
of it. Kazuto Ioka. Versus Michael Ordoskoide.
1:03:12
I love Ioka. And I'm going to watch a replay
1:03:15
of this. But yeah. I don't think I recognize
1:03:20
anyone else either. Which is crazy that I don't
1:03:24
recognize them. That's the end of year box festival.
1:03:31
that the Japanese like to do. Yeah, well, and
1:03:34
like New Year's Eve is just big in combat sports
1:03:37
in general. The Ryzen event, I have a friend
1:03:41
going to it. It starts at noon and goes to midnight.
1:03:46
Wow. Yeah. So maybe the doors open at noon, but
1:03:52
it's like 12 hours of Ryzen out at the Saitama
1:03:57
Super Arena. That's the really big combat event.
1:04:01
This one's much smaller, but I usually go because
1:04:05
I like Ioka. So, kicking off the new year, Saturday,
1:04:13
January 3rd, in Puerto Rico, Amanda Serrano versus
1:04:21
Reyna Tellez. I'm glad. Amanda gets to fight
1:04:28
in Puerto Rico. I think that's going to be cool.
1:04:33
I don't know anybody on this card. Yeah, I don't
1:04:37
either. I was just going to say. And it's not
1:04:43
all women, but it's pretty women heavy. Oh, Holly
1:04:49
Holm was on this versus Stephanie Hahn. Holly
1:04:57
Holmes is a much better boxer than I thought
1:05:01
she would be at 44. I don't know if that's a
1:05:06
rude thing to say, but she impressed me the last
1:05:08
time she boxed. She was a... I think she was
1:05:12
a WBC champ? Yeah, but just... She was in MMA
1:05:19
for so long. And she's 44. I don't know. I just...
1:05:27
I was impressed with how well she came back to
1:05:30
boxing. Because she was gone for 12 years. That's
1:05:43
it. Amanda Serrano. Holly Holm. Yeah. Ebony Bridges.
1:05:53
I know that name. I think because she does OnlyFans,
1:06:03
I think that's how she got notoriety. No, she's
1:06:08
dating, what's his name? Kell Brook? Kell Brook.
1:06:13
Okay. Right? I think. Just a second. Let me double
1:06:17
check I have the right name. Oh, shit. Her opponent
1:06:21
has the same last name as me. Yeah, yeah, she's
1:06:27
dating Kell Brook. So they've been in the social
1:06:31
boxing news lately. She's also the one with the
1:06:35
enhanced buzzer. That's why I thought she did.
1:06:42
She probably does. It wouldn't surprise me, but
1:06:46
I don't know about that. I just know that she's
1:06:49
dating Kell Brook now. Because it was... scandalous,
1:06:53
quote -unquote, except he'd been divorced and
1:06:56
just, like, the public didn't know. I see. I
1:07:02
see what that's... They thought he was still
1:07:05
married to his wife, but he'd been divorced for,
1:07:07
like, two years. Kept that quiet. I guess people
1:07:14
don't need to know. But, like, you really don't
1:07:18
need to know. That's it, though. That's all we
1:07:26
got coming up. It's a light week to start. But
1:07:31
January is fucking busy. Towards the end of the
1:07:34
month, it's gonna get busy. I think the 31st
1:07:38
has like four cards on it. Really? That's awesome.
1:07:43
I never looked that far ahead, to be honest.
1:07:49
So, let me do this. What if your best thinking
1:07:53
day wasn't a lucky accident? What if you could
1:07:55
access that clarity, that sharp focus, that feeling
1:07:58
of being completely on whenever you need it?
1:08:01
We live in a world of distraction where mental
1:08:04
fog can settle in before noon. You need a natural
1:08:07
edge, a simple way to clear the noise and elevate
1:08:10
your mind. Introducing psilocybin, the daily
1:08:13

1:10:44
I guess Happy New Year. Yeah. Yeah, I hope everybody
1:10:48
had a good Christmas. My big Christmas present
1:10:52
this year was the fancy bourbon I like. And then
1:10:56
one of my friends donated money to the Red Pandas
1:10:59
at the Calgary Zoo in my name. And then I get
1:11:03
a little panda plushie. That's nice. Yeah, and
1:11:07
some paperwork on how they use the money. Red
1:11:12
Pandas are my favorite. When I go back to Canada,
1:11:17
she lives just outside Calgary. When I go back
1:11:20
to Canada, we'll go to the zoo. It's pretty much
1:11:22
we have to every time I visit. Let's see. As
1:11:29
we come up to the new year, people like to act
1:11:33
a fool. So, man, don't drink and drive. Don't
1:11:41
start your year off with a fucking DUI or a car
1:11:44
accident. Even worse. Yeah, make a plan. Have
1:11:50
a plan. Wherever you're going, stay there. I
1:11:55
mean, most cities have some sort of free bus
1:12:00
system on New Year's Eve. I find people don't
1:12:04
know about them, but even the small city I lived
1:12:07
in, Saskatoon, New Year's Eve, the buses are
1:12:09
just free. You just get on the bus. And even
1:12:13
if it's not free, like an Uber is much cheaper
1:12:16
than increased car insurance and all that other
1:12:20
stuff. And if you live somewhere cold, because
1:12:24
my brother's best friend almost died walking
1:12:28
home too drunk in the winter. So if you live
1:12:32
somewhere cold, make sure all your friends actually
1:12:34
get home because they found him in a snowbank
1:12:37
almost dead. Jeez. Yeah. I know not everybody
1:12:42
lives where it's that cold, but... Yeah, have
1:12:49
your Arrive Alive plan for New Year's. Just drink
1:12:53
at home. Have your friends come to your house,
1:12:55
then you don't gotta fucking worry about it.
1:12:58
Let them sleep on your floor. Yeah. Alright.
1:13:03
That's the last episode of Boxing Before Dark.
1:13:06
We'll see you in 2026. Happy New Year! Thank
1:13:10
you.
