  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. All right. Let's fucking
• 0:25
  boogie here. Man. Oh, man. Boxing before dark.
• 0:31
  It's time to fucking party. Yes. Shanada, how
• 0:36
  goes it out in Japan? It's starting to warm up.
• 0:40
  I'm already dreading summer. I think Sunday is
• 0:44
  supposed to be 18 degrees. Gross. 18? Hold on
• 0:51
  a second. I always have to fucking bust out the...
• 0:54
  What is this in freedom? Lights. 70 -ish, I think.
• 0:59
  Not quite that high. How many bald eagles is
• 1:04
  that? I mean, if you burn them, it's probably
• 1:08
  only one. It's about 65. Okay, I was pretty close.
• 1:13
  Not quite 70. That's... Man, that's a... I turned
• 1:18
  off my heater a few days ago and I just completely
• 1:22
  forgot I had it off. And then when I went to...
• 1:26
  To check the temperature. It was like 69, 68.
• 1:31
  And I was like freezing my ass off. God, desert
• 1:35
  life. Oh man, out in Japan. A little bit of fun
• 1:43
  news. The baby macaque. I'm phrasing this so
• 1:48
  that there's no confusion. Just because I got
• 1:51
  got. The baby macaque named Punch. Starting to
• 1:57
  get a little bit of internet fame. Has his little
• 2:01
  stuffed orangutan as his best friend. His replacement
• 2:07
  mom. Yeah. Got dumped by his mother and embraced
• 2:12
  by the whole of humanity. Probably an okay trade,
• 2:17
  I suppose. He's in Japan. He'll get specific...
• 2:24
  specific special treatment. What kind of things
• 2:29
  would they do for him? You know? When he gets
• 2:33
  older, he'll just be famous, so they'll make
• 2:36
  sure he's really well fed and his enclosure's
• 2:38
  better and stuff like that. Oh, yeah, he'll be
• 2:41
  at the front of the viewing exhibits. But that
• 2:49
  was fun. Punch. The way that it was phrased,
• 2:53
  man. So, they had to have done that shit on purpose.
• 2:58
  Yeah, yeah. Punch the baby monkey. No, don't
• 3:03
  do that. Don't punch monkeys. Baby or otherwise.
• 3:10
  Uh, did you see in the Winter Olympics the gold
• 3:17
  medal match for hockey? I saw the match, yeah.
• 3:20
  I'm not an Olympics person. I haven't watched
• 3:22
  any games. But, Canada versus the US in the gold?
• 3:26
  Yep. I'm excited. This is for all the bragging
• 3:31
  rights. I mean, that's usually how it ends up
• 3:35
  anyways. Who's in the bronze game? Finland and...
• 3:39
  Norway. Excuse me. I think. Norway. Nice. Alright,
• 3:44
  because there's no Russia, right? Yes. It's weird
• 3:49
  how that works. Like, because Taiwan has a similar
• 3:53
  situation where they are allowed to participate.
• 3:57
  Athletes are allowed to participate, but it's
• 4:00
  under some generic flag, like the... I think
• 4:07
  it's the UN flag. I think you're right. Or, like,
• 4:11
  the IOC. International Olympic Committee fucking...
• 4:17
  Whatever. Yeah, but I don't think they let Russia
• 4:22
  have team sports. Just individual competitors.
• 4:28
  So no hockey. But yeah, we'll see how that turns
• 4:35
  out. I might actually watch that just because
• 4:37
  it's gold medal. Might as well. I saw clips of
• 4:42
  the Czechia goal where they definitely had six
• 4:45
  players on the ice. And all six players celebrate
• 4:49
  in a little clump and the rest didn't call it.
• 4:53
  What? Wow. How do you miss that? I don't know
• 4:58
  how they missed it. It was crazy. And I think
• 5:01
  it tied the game. Canada had to kind of like
• 5:04
  come back and win it. But enough Olympics into
• 5:13
  some boxing news. Boy, oh boy. TBE. Floyd Money
• 5:23
  Mayweather has unretired officially. Will resume
• 5:27
  his professional boxing career. Woof. Yeah, I
• 5:34
  think he's going to have to drop the money from
• 5:37
  his name. Floyd No Money Mayweather. Man, he
• 5:43
  must be so broke if he's officially unretiring.
• 5:47
  Because he's been doing exhibitions pretty much
• 5:51
  since he retired. He's been doing, like he did
• 5:53
  the Logan Paul. He did the Gotti person. I don't
• 6:00
  remember who he is. But he's fought a bunch of
• 6:03
  influencers in exhibitions. Yeah, but those don't
• 6:09
  really count. Right. You know who else he fought
• 6:12
  in an exhibition after he retired? Tension. Tension
• 6:20
  was like fucking 15 or something. Still funny.
• 6:24
  He's older than I thought he was. I think he
• 6:27
  was like 19. Yeah, he was still a teenager. It
• 6:33
  was funny. The flowers. Floyd tried to give him
• 6:37
  the flowers instead. It was pretty good. As he
• 6:43
  cried. What did you expect was gonna happen?
• 6:52
  Oh, well, he's the prodigy. His nickname is ridiculous.
• 7:00
  The kanjis are, like, better than God or something.
• 7:04
  Above the Buddha. Excellent. So Floyd has the
• 7:12
  exhibition with Mike Tyson in April. And it's
• 7:20
  going to take place in, I think, the Democratic
• 7:22
  Republic of the Congo, not the other one. The
• 7:27
  Republic of the Congo? Yeah. I wish they'd just
• 7:33
  leave Mike alone, man. Like, stop. dragging him
• 7:38
  out for this shit. He's so old. I know like age
• 7:43
  wise he's not that old but he just looks so old.
• 7:48
  He's got a lot of mileage. Yeah. I don't know.
• 7:55
  I just want Mike to go play with his pigeons
• 8:00
  and be happy. I think he'll be 60. By the time
• 8:05
  the exhibition happens and Floyd will be almost
• 8:08
  50? Yeah, but like they're just very different
• 8:14
  types of age. I don't know how to phrase it.
• 8:19
  Mike is a much older 60 than Floyd Mayweather
• 8:24
  is an old 50. Like Mayweather's still pretty
• 8:28
  in shape and everything. So an interesting question
• 8:34
  came up in Discord, which was, who does he fight?
• 8:41
  You're unretired. It's gonna be Pacquiao. Gotta
• 8:44
  be Pacquiao, at least. It has to be Pacquiao.
• 8:47
  But then the conversation turned to, like, the
• 8:50
  current welterweight champions, and, like, Rowley?
• 8:54
  Does he beat Rolando Romero? He might. He might.
• 9:00
  He might beat Lewis Crocker. He probably beats
• 9:04
  Mario Barrios. That's kind of depressing that
• 9:10
  50 -year -old Floyd... Maybe he's not as good
• 9:14
  as he's been looking, though. Like, maybe Floyd
• 9:17
  slowed down a lot more than we think just because
• 9:20
  he's been fighting exhibitions against nobodies.
• 9:24
  Could be. Like, we kind of have to wait and see.
• 9:28
  Because I know Floyd isn't that, like, all -athletic
• 9:31
  style, but he needs to be fast and have the reaction
• 9:36
  time for his style of fighting. Yeah, he's definitely
• 9:40
  based on, like, reflexes. And those slow down
• 9:44
  when you get old. Well, speaking of exhibitions,
• 9:50
  Manny Pacquiao vs. Ruslan Provodnikov. That is
• 9:55
  a name I have not heard in quite some time. It's
• 9:59
  also a 10 round exhibition. Who does that? Hands
• 10:03
  up. Cause I don't know. I don't know, man. I
• 10:07
  think this is just going to end up being a fight.
• 10:09
  Like I can't see either of these guys exhibitioning.
• 10:13
  If you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, man. This,
• 10:17
  that was, I remember when that was like the hotness,
• 10:20
  I think it was. When did, uh, He had fight of
• 10:25
  the year with Tim Bradley. I think it was 2013.
• 10:28
  And it was about that time frame that we were
• 10:32
  talking about Pacquiao, Provodnikov. Then Chris
• 10:36
  Algieri showed up and he diced up Provodnikov
• 10:41
  and kind of spoiled it. Fucking Chris Algieri.
• 10:47
  He got beat to piss by Pacquiao, didn't he? Like,
• 10:51
  Algieri fought Pacquiao. Yeah, okay. Yep, so
• 10:55
  2013 called. It wants its mega fight back. I
• 11:03
  guess. Better late than never. Although sometimes
• 11:05
  I think that's not true in boxing. Yeah, that's...
• 11:11
  It's an interesting conundrum. Like better late
• 11:17
  than never? I don't think so. Sometimes it's
• 11:21
  better to leave it as a what if than have them
• 11:23
  fight 10 years too late. Provodnikov, goodness
• 11:29
  gracious, the man took so much punishment. Yeah,
• 11:35
  I can't imagine how he's doing these days. This
• 11:41
  is an exhibition I'll actually watch because
• 11:43
  I don't think it's going to stay exhibitionist.
• 11:46
  For very long. Nah, probably not. Callum Smith,
• 11:54
  David Murrell is official. April 18th in Liverpool.
• 12:02
  Robbie was trying to decide if he should go to
• 12:06
  this or if he should go to Fabio Wardley and
• 12:11
  Daniel Dubois. I would pick Callum Smith, personally.
• 12:19
  But I know Robbie likes the heavyweights. I think
• 12:24
  probably Wardley Dubois is going to be a bigger
• 12:27
  crowd. Oh, for sure. More atmosphere. Yeah. But,
• 12:33
  like, it's your hometown guy. How can you skip
• 12:35
  it? Yeah, I like Callum Smith. I would pick Callum
• 12:38
  Smith. And Serial brought up a good point that...
• 12:43
  How often is a guy like David Morrell going to
• 12:46
  go to UK? That's true. That's why I'm excited
• 12:52
  for March, because I get to see knockout CP Freshmark.
• 12:56
  Oh, shit, he's going to be in... He's in Yokohama,
• 13:00
  yeah. That's right. The Mighty Mini Car, as I
• 13:05
  called it. I'm super excited for that card. I
• 13:09
  think it's pretty stacked. It is. There are a
• 13:12
  lot of good names on it. Also, I didn't realize
• 13:16
  CP Freshmart was so famous. A girl from Thailand
• 13:21
  started eating lunch with us, and I brought him
• 13:24
  up, and she's like, oh, I know him. He's super
• 13:27
  famous in Thailand. She's like, he's on TV all
• 13:29
  the time. Damn. I was like, what? Nice. Yeah.
• 13:33
  Well, if you're getting the Freshmart endorsement,
• 13:38
  you've got to be... I guess, yeah, that's true.
• 13:44
  But I just never really thought about it. She
• 13:45
  didn't know his, like, English name. I had to
• 13:48
  look up his real name. Neomtrong or some shit?
• 13:52
  Yeah, yeah. It's got a lot of M's in it. As Thai
• 14:00
  names tend to do. Yeah. Oh, man. Speaking of
• 14:06
  M names, Jaime Munguia. rejects the Resendiz
• 14:11
  title fight. I am off the Munguia train. I was
• 14:17
  a big fan. The loss to Saras I could have stuck
• 14:21
  around after, but he fops for peds and now he's
• 14:25
  ducking title chances. Fuck him. I'm done. I'm
• 14:29
  out. What is up with these young Hispanic guys?
• 14:33
  Diego Pacheco? opts out of a title fight. Jaime
• 14:37
  Munguia opts out of a title fight. Ridiculous.
• 14:41
  Like, what else? Really, why are you subjecting
• 14:46
  your body to this if not for a world title? What
• 14:50
  else is the point? Well, and especially in Munguia's
• 14:54
  case, because he's been fighting at that level
• 14:57
  for a while. Pacheco's team said they thought
• 15:00
  he wasn't ready. I disagree, but I mean, it still
• 15:05
  kind of makes sense for Pacheco. But Munguia's
• 15:09
  been there. He's been there for a while. Like,
• 15:12
  take your shot, dude. That Brissendies is a winnable
• 15:16
  fight for you. Yeah, I don't get it. I don't
• 15:21
  get this one at all. And I'm disappointed in
• 15:24
  Munguia. Yeah. So instead... Jermall Charlo is
• 15:30
  stepping up to the plate. He does not deserve
• 15:34
  a title fight. He does not. It is a... Is it
• 15:40
  a credible opponent? I was about to say it's
• 15:42
  credible -ish. Which one is Jermall? Which one
• 15:46
  was in really bad legal trouble and stuff? Was
• 15:50
  that Maul or Mel? Mel was the one that was having
• 15:53
  trouble with domestic violence and stuff. Okay.
• 15:56
  So this is the brother that had... has his shit
• 16:00
  more together. He went through a pretty bad mental
• 16:04
  health crisis. So if that qualifies as more put
• 16:09
  together, at least he kept it to himself. I mean,
• 16:13
  I'm going to call it more put together than beating
• 16:16
  the crap out of your girl. Yeah. He's more credible
• 16:22
  than his brother is. But I don't know, man. The
• 16:26
  Charlo's have been out for so long. I don't really
• 16:30
  call them credible for anybody right now. Especially
• 16:33
  not a title fight. I don't know. We're about
• 16:37
  a month out. Maybe five weeks. For a late replacement,
• 16:45
  this isn't the worst name you could pull out
• 16:49
  of the hat, though. No, it's not the worst. Yeah,
• 16:53
  late replacement. I get what you're saying. I'm
• 16:57
  just sick of these people that... Are names or
• 17:00
  were names cutting the lines? But I guess he
• 17:04
  didn't cut this line because Munguia stepped
• 17:06
  out of the way, so. Gotta salvage the fight somehow.
• 17:11
  Yeah, I guess I can't complain about this one.
• 17:17
  Hold on, I want to pull up good old box rec and
• 17:20
  see what the options are at the top of the division.
• 17:28
  Um, Jermall Charlo is highly rated. That's on,
• 17:32
  uh, like, Legacy, so to speak. Hmm. Hmm. Mbili's
• 17:42
  probably busy. Iglesias is busy. Shiraz is busy.
• 17:49
  Ex -busy. Could, uh, pull up Jakub Bank. Still
• 17:55
  in decent fight shape. Coming off of a big win.
• 18:01
  So this is WBA, right? Yes. So they've got Tonello
• 18:07
  1, Bektamir 2, Charlo 3, Hamza Shiraz 4, and
• 18:13
  Darius Fulgham 5. Caleb Plant. You already beat
• 18:21
  Caleb Plant. I'm surprised. Plant is still rated.
• 18:31
  He's number six there. What about Kevin Sajo?
• 18:39
  The guy who just lost to Pacheco. He got a win
• 18:43
  a few days ago. I didn't even know about it.
• 18:50
  Second round stoppage. Goddamn. Yeah, it was
• 18:54
  a really fast fight. The dude is 22 and 29 going
• 18:58
  into it. Oh, never mind. Sorry, Kevin. I thought
• 19:02
  you were doing something legit over there. No.
• 19:07
  But yeah, looks like it's going to be Resendiz
• 19:10
  versus Charlo. What are you going to do? I guess
• 19:17
  I'll watch it if I have to. Mmm, speaking of
• 19:24
  disappointments, Mark Magzayo signs over to the
• 19:31
  dark side. I was really disappointed when I saw
• 19:36
  this one. I know he hasn't been doing much lately,
• 19:40
  but I am a Mark Magzayo fan, and I did not want
• 19:45
  to see him sign with Zufa. It does kind of make
• 19:48
  sense for him, I guess, but... It's lame. Yeah,
• 19:53
  it's steady work for him. And he's somewhat of
• 20:01
  a name. I don't know, I guess in a really generous
• 20:05
  sense. But he's a recognizable name for boxing
• 20:09
  fans. So to get into a rigidly structured environment
• 20:16
  like Zufa, it's steady work. So you don't have
• 20:20
  to worry about when you're next. Yeah, he'll
• 20:23
  probably get more fights with Zufa than he has
• 20:25
  been getting. Yeah. I don't know. I just don't...
• 20:31
  He's not going to get to fight for any titles
• 20:34
  if he's with Zufa. I know people are going to
• 20:38
  say, well, he wasn't going to fight for titles
• 20:40
  anyways. He's not good enough. But you never
• 20:42
  know. When we were talking about it on B -Sides,
• 20:48
  when Brandon Figueroa, when we were recapping
• 20:51
  that, It was the, I had suggested Mark Maxayo
• 20:57
  as a first title defense. Like you have, you
• 21:01
  have history with him and it like a controversial
• 21:05
  -ish decision win for Figueroa. So it would be
• 21:11
  a title shot for Maxayo. Figueroa gets to settle
• 21:16
  the debate. Yeah, it makes sense to me, but it's
• 21:21
  not gonna happen now. Nope. Makes me sad. He
• 21:26
  will be competing at 135 now. That's gonna be
• 21:31
  rough. Yeah. Or am I misremembering? Wasn't he
• 21:38
  fighting at, like, 140? 130. Oh, they moved him
• 21:44
  up, not down. Yeah. He's not that big. No. He's
• 21:54
  only 5 '6". I don't know. I don't like the less
• 22:00
  weight classes. I know some people are all for
• 22:03
  it. I don't like it. People are going to be stuck
• 22:07
  in between and just get hurt. Either hurt from
• 22:11
  cutting too much or hurt from fighting people
• 22:13
  that are too much bigger than them. Yeah. I think
• 22:18
  you're right. Some of the jumps are like 15 pounds,
• 22:22
  aren't they? When you get up higher? When you
• 22:25
  get up higher, the gap gets bigger. Like, doesn't
• 22:30
  it go from 140... Do they have 147? Yes. To 156?
• 22:39
  No. Or 168? 160. Okay. Anyway, some of those
• 22:46
  jumps are big. That's all I'm saying. Oh, man.
• 22:51
  Speaking of big jumps, Connor Benn also signs
• 22:56
  with the dark side. That doesn't surprise me.
• 23:00
  This is a... Allegedly, it's a one -fight deal
• 23:04
  that is worth tens of millions. Oh, is this what
• 23:14
  Eddie Hearn was bitching about? When I woke up
• 23:17
  this morning? Probably. Something about loyalty
• 23:20
  and yadda yadda yadda? Had to be this then. If
• 23:23
  Eddie Hearn was bitching about loyalty, then
• 23:26
  it was Connor Ben. Yeah, I didn't really listen
• 23:29
  to it. I was just scrolling through reels while
• 23:32
  I brushed my teeth. I scroll past Eddie Hearn
• 23:37
  most of the time. Most of the time I do too.
• 23:40
  Yeah. I don't know. That one doesn't surprise
• 23:44
  me. I think Connor Ben kind of suits being with
• 23:48
  Zufa. It's one fight, so I don't know. We'll
• 23:54
  see what happens after that. Did they say who
• 24:00
  he's fighting? There's nobody for him to fight.
• 24:05
  But that's what I mean. Zufa doesn't have anyone
• 24:09
  his size, do they? Connor Ben's supposed to...
• 24:13
  He's supposedly a welterweight. So we'll see
• 24:18
  if he gets back to that. I don't know, man. Yeah,
• 24:24
  two fights at 160. And then going back to 47.
• 24:27
  That's quite the cut to make. Oh, shit. Manny
• 24:34
  Pacquiao promotions. Wins. The purse bid for
• 24:39
  Angelo Leo's title defense. I was so sad Provox
• 24:44
  didn't get this. Yeah, me too. I wanted Provox
• 24:48
  to have a title fight on their air and I wanted
• 24:51
  Angelo Leo to come home. Yeah, instead Pacquiao
• 24:58
  Promotions is going to put this up in Aleem's,
• 25:01
  Raees Aleem's hometown. That sucks. quite yeah
• 25:08
  i'm just not happy about this at all like what
• 25:16
  has i'm surprised pacquiao promotions even was
• 25:22
  able to bid for this because i've never heard
• 25:26
  of them putting on fights or cards typically
• 25:30
  they're in the philippines and they're a lot
• 25:34
  of like lower lower class tier not class lower
• 25:41
  tier guys like four rounders six rounders you
• 25:44
  know what i mean yeah yeah it's more they've
• 25:49
  always been very prospecting like brand new prospecting
• 25:53
  right like i don't know and the one manny pacquiao
• 25:59
  promotions card i watched like shit was kind
• 26:03
  of a shit show like I think it might have been
• 26:09
  one of their very first ones, but the cameras
• 26:11
  were kind of all over the place. There was some
• 26:16
  delay. I forget what happened. Maybe they've
• 26:20
  gotten better, but the first one I watched was
• 26:22
  very much the first one. They have a card coming
• 26:29
  up this weekend, actually. But we'll talk about
• 26:36
  that later. I'm curious where this money infusion
• 26:44
  came from. Because if they were putting on prospect
• 26:48
  -ish level guys and now they're jumping up to
• 26:52
  a title fight. I'm a little worried that the
• 26:56
  production is going to be absolute garbage on
• 26:58
  this one. I'm not going to lie. Yeah. Like, I'm
• 27:05
  not saying Probox has the best production, but
• 27:07
  it's always good. And they have a good commentary
• 27:11
  team. Like, who's going to be commentating for
• 27:13
  Manny Pacquiao promotions? Good question. Because
• 27:19
  I don't think I've ever seen him with an English
• 27:21
  commentary. I can only imagine that they'll put
• 27:28
  together a crew, like, from whoever. Is able
• 27:33
  to. Go outside of their. Promotional ecosystem.
• 27:38
  Yeah like I'm sure he'll have people. But I mean
• 27:41
  like. I don't know. I like Chris Algieri and
• 27:44
  Pauly Malignaggi. Yeah. I was super excited for
• 27:48
  them to call. And I got ahead of myself. This
• 27:52
  burst my bubble terribly. Anthony Joshua. Is.
• 28:02
  starting to get back into training he's kind
• 28:05
  of easing back into it he's not in the camp but
• 28:09
  it looks like the plan is to get him back in
• 28:12
  the ring july august time frame i kind of assume
• 28:18
  that going back to the gym without those guys
• 28:22
  kind of is very hard right so i don't know i
• 28:28
  still kind of think AJ might not come back and
• 28:32
  I think that's okay but I just I'm not convinced
• 28:35
  that he's gonna come back not yet yeah uh until
• 28:42
  until I see word from the man himself then I'm
• 28:46
  not gonna put any stock into this this is Eddie
• 28:50
  Hearn relaying allegedly what AJ said but Yeah,
• 28:58
  going back to training, going back to the gym
• 29:01
  without your fucking best friends who've been
• 29:03
  with you for years. Yeah. That cannot be easy.
• 29:09
  Nah, that's gotta be hard. Yeah, if he hangs
• 29:12
  it up, totally understandable. Hmm. What was
• 29:20
  not understandable? The WBO has suspended...
• 29:26
  Janubek for a year after his PED violation. Yeah.
• 29:35
  And there's going to be an interim title, so
• 29:41
  he's not getting stripped. And he has to face
• 29:45
  the interim title list when he gets back after
• 29:51
  his suspension. You agree he cheated, just strip
• 29:57
  him. Right. I don't understand this one. Just
• 30:03
  strip him. If you want to let him fight for it
• 30:06
  again, let him. But there's no consequences to
• 30:11
  using PEDs, apparently. And being suspended by
• 30:18
  the WBO does not prevent you from fighting. You
• 30:23
  can just... go fight for another organization.
• 30:28
  Ridiculous. Yeah, he's not in trouble here. Somebody
• 30:37
  on Twitter, I saw it. It was kind of funny. Somebody
• 30:42
  said, how much did Johnny Beck pay you to not
• 30:47
  strip him? To let him keep the belt. And then
• 30:50
  the... President of WBO himself said, if you
• 30:54
  have reliable evidence of this, then please contact
• 31:00
  the FBI. Wow, dude. That's kind of a pretty good
• 31:07
  comeback. It is. It is good. Still, not stripping
• 31:16
  him is like pretty sus. Yeah. No, I don't agree
• 31:20
  with that. Golden Boy is putting on a card in
• 31:28
  mid -March. It's going to feature Arnold Barbosa
• 31:33
  versus Kenneth Sims is the headline. Gabby Fandora.
• 31:37
  That could be fun. Yes. Those are two guys at
• 31:40
  an equal level. Gabby Fandora versus Viviana
• 31:46
  Ruiz. Don't know who that is. Sorry, Vivian,
• 31:51
  but... Gabi's gonna win. Yeah, probably. And
• 31:58
  Oscar Collazo versus Jesus Haro. Versus who?
• 32:06
  Jesus Haro. Don't know who that is. I thought
• 32:10
  he was fighting Jerusalem. When did that get
• 32:12
  cancelled? I thought he was fighting Jerusalem
• 32:14
  as well. Let me make sure I'm not getting...
• 32:23
  Yep, it's even on BoxRec, Jesus Haro. We talked
• 32:27
  about the Jerusalem rematch. We had talked about
• 32:30
  that, I remember. Yeah, no, like, I thought I
• 32:36
  saw a post that Jerusalem had his plane tickets
• 32:39
  and shit. One second. Yeah, this is a change.
• 32:46
  Interesting change. His nickname is Gringo. That's
• 32:56
  the dumbest shit I've ever seen. He is definitely
• 32:59
  not white. Oh, yeah, no. They're pissed. Jerusalem's
• 33:08
  camp put out a thing. They had bought their tickets
• 33:13
  and booked their hotels and they're getting fucked.
• 33:19
  That's crazy. That is bonkers. You turned down
• 33:23
  a three belt fight for who? Fucking Oscar. I
• 33:33
  don't know which Oscar I'm blaming here, but
• 33:35
  fuck Oscar on this one. Big time. God damn. I
• 33:42
  can't imagine that Marvin Jerusalem has a lot
• 33:45
  of money to be blowing on like cancellation fees.
• 33:49
  No, I don't think so. Let's see. Rising Star
• 33:57
  Promotions is headed by Cornflake LaManna. Okay.
• 34:06
  They are going to be hosting Brick City Fight
• 34:09
  Night. That's in Newark, New Jersey. It's going
• 34:13
  to be on ProBox. Nice. I hope ProBox has a hand
• 34:20
  in the matchmaking. If they do, it should be
• 34:24
  good. Right. And last thing, Matchroom signs
• 34:31
  a five -year extension with The Zone. I think
• 34:36
  that's a good move. Yes, I'm glad to see that.
• 34:40
  Somebody of the old guard has a home for their
• 34:44
  shows. Yeah. Oh, shit. Little bit of notes here.

  doesn't just affect your hair, it chips away

  at your confidence. But I'm here to tell you,
• 36:41
  it doesn't have to be this way. It's time to
• 36:43
  say bye to flakes with flakes. Flakes isn't a
• 36:46
  scented wash you get from the grocery store that

  just masks the problem. It's a powerful, medically

  formulated treatment designed to get to the root

  control the flaking, calm the itching, and soothe

  the redness that's on your scalp. And here's
• 37:03
  another pro tip. Flakes will also help with that
• 37:05
  stubborn beard gruff if you have that too. Imagine
• 37:09
  feeling completely free to wear whatever you
• 37:11
  want, whenever you want to. Imagine just focusing
• 37:14
  on your day and not on your scalp. That's the

  difference that flakes makes. Go to lvx .be slash

• 37:34
  slash flakes. Let's see here. We got a few recaps,
• 37:39
  some of which... Actually, not a lot. This was
• 37:43
  a light weekend. Or light review period, I guess.
• 37:47
  Tuesday, February 10th. Salida Promotions in
• 37:53
  Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was a card. It certainly
• 38:00
  was a card that had boxing on it. The only two
• 38:05
  fights I was tracking here, Caroline Byer gets
• 38:10
  the UD over Delphine Persoon for the vacant WBC
• 38:14
  130 title. Nice. Delphine's getting pretty old,
• 38:21
  right? Yeah, she is. I put her two names together
• 38:25
  and said it completely wrong. I realized as soon
• 38:29
  as it came out of my mouth. I was going to roll
• 38:31
  with it. Don't sound too stupid. But yeah, we'll
• 38:38
  see. I doubt that Caroline is going to be unifying
• 38:44
  with Alicia Baumgartner just because WBC doesn't
• 38:51
  allow three minute rounds for women because they're
• 38:56
  fucking lame. Yeah. I guess. Canadians got a
• 39:02
  belt? That's cool. Well, kind of Canadian. She's
• 39:08
  from France. Is she a French -Canadian? Lives
• 39:12
  in, uh... She's from France and lives in Quebec.
• 39:18
  That's... odd. Well, I guess Mbili did it. Not
• 39:23
  that strange, I suppose. Joshua Pagan. Gets the
• 39:30
  UD over Brian Jimenez. It was fine. I have to
• 39:40
  admit, I didn't watch this card at all. Don't
• 39:42
  worry about it. I am the fucking filthy degenerate
• 39:47
  for this one. Let me continue my filthy degenerate
• 39:54
  streak. Saturday, February 14th. Dream. Boxing
• 39:58
  on DAZN in Germany. The only fight I watched,
• 40:06
  because it's the only one I cared about, and
• 40:08
  cared about is very generous. I'm using that
• 40:11
  term very generously. Marco Hook gets the UD
• 40:15
  over Václav Pejsar. But the German crowds, man.
• 40:23
  The German crowds are fun. Yeah, even for like
• 40:27
  a well past his prime I guess former legend like
• 40:35
  Marco Hook. They came out. They showed out for
• 40:39
  him. Yeah, it's nice. Yeah, Germans, they fucking
• 40:44
  love their boxing. It's really cool. Sunday,
• 40:50
  February 15th. Muto Promotions at the Sumiyoshi
• 40:55
  Sports Center in Osaka. Again, only watched one
• 41:00
  fight here. Ryosuke Nishida wins a unanimous
• 41:08
  technical decision. The fight was stopped in
• 41:12
  the 7th. Or, in the 8th. And it went to the cards.
• 41:19
  I just thumbed up that shit. That's weird. Brian
• 41:22
  Mercado was the op. Very competitive fight. Head
• 41:30
  clash led to a very, very bad cut on Nishida.
• 41:35
  It just kept opening wider and wider. I was kind
• 41:40
  of complaining or thinking about complaining
• 41:43
  about the stoppage because Nishida was just ignoring
• 41:46
  it and it wasn't bleeding into his eye. And then
• 41:49
  they showed the close -up. and I realized how
• 41:52
  wide the cut had gotten. It was like an inch
• 41:55
  and a half wide. Jesus. Like four inches long.
• 42:00
  It was just perfectly in his eyebrows, so it
• 42:03
  didn't look so bad, if you know what I mean.
• 42:05
  Yeah, because when I was watching it, I was thinking
• 42:08
  as well, when it first happened, I was like,
• 42:11
  oh, that's not so bad. We'll see how this...
• 42:14
  This should be manageable by the cut man, right?
• 42:18
  It was not. Mercado must have been working on
• 42:21
  it from the other end. Mostly with his head.
• 42:26
  It was a pretty clear competitive but clear decision.
• 42:38
  Would have been the same if it went the distance.
• 42:40
  I think so too. Nishida looked the way he always
• 42:45
  looks. He's more of a boxer than most of the
• 42:49
  Japanese guys, but he kind of lacks power. I
• 42:52
  don't think Nishida hits very hard. It explains
• 42:56
  why Mercado was walking through everything, even
• 43:00
  though he was getting tagged up a lot. Yeah,
• 43:04
  Nishida's got decent skills. He just doesn't
• 43:07
  hit hard enough to stop anybody, I think. But...
• 43:15
  This is Nishida's move to 122. He still looked
• 43:22
  pretty skeletal, but I think part of that is
• 43:25
  just his bone structure. He's got crazy cheekbones.
• 43:29
  And yeah, like his eyebrows, his brow line also
• 43:34
  is a lot bigger than what you usually see from
• 43:37
  Asian men. Yeah. That's how the cut was so hidden.
• 43:44
  Yeah, it was kind of in the shadow of his brow
• 43:47
  ridge. Honestly, Nishida looks like Namor from
• 43:52
  the Marvel comics to me. It's kind of a deep
• 43:57
  cut. Yeah, I didn't know who that was. Looking
• 44:02
  at box rec for 122, Inoue and Nakatani, one and
• 44:09
  two, no shit. Nishida moves up to number three.
• 44:16
  I think Nishida deserves to be that high right
• 44:19
  now. I'm so bad at weight classes. Who else is
• 44:22
  at 122 right now? So going down the list, Inoue
• 44:26
  Nakatani Nishida, Picasso, Tapales, Philippus
• 44:33
  Njitumbwa. I think I got that. And MJ, a guy
• 44:40
  named Sebastian Hernandez, Brian Mercado, who
• 44:44
  Nishida just beat. Toshiki... I think Nishida
• 44:49
  beats Picasso. Personally. I think so too. He's
• 44:55
  a better boxer than Picasso. Yeah. And Picasso
• 45:00
  doesn't have... He's not like a power threat
• 45:03
  himself. Yeah, and Nishida's got a decent chin.
• 45:10
  He takes a shot. He survived Nakatani. Well,
• 45:16
  I... Did he? The corner pulled him, not... Yeah.
• 45:23
  Well, pulled him from a shoulder injury. Yeah.
• 45:30
  Holy shit, Ramun Cardenas is at 11? He should
• 45:35
  not be that low. I got questions, Boxerick. What
• 45:40
  the hell? He's not very high on any of the standings
• 45:43
  either. The highest, he's number four in the
• 45:47
  WBC. Oh no, I lied. He's number two in the WBA.
• 45:55
  I just missed his name. Okay, so at least he's
• 45:59
  got that. Unfortunately, all roads lead to Inouye
• 46:05
  and didn't work out the first time. I can't see
• 46:10
  it going much better a second time. No, the second
• 46:12
  time he gets stopped sooner. Inoue and Nakatani
• 46:18
  officially confirmed the May date. I am so excited.
• 46:25
  Yeah, I did see some at the JBC Awards. Inoue
• 46:31
  was there and was like, I'm gonna give it my
• 46:34
  all. I'm gonna do my best to be the best Japanese.
• 46:39
  With his pink hair? Yeah. The guys hate his pink
• 46:43
  hair so much. What do they call him? Your lesbian
• 46:49
  aunt? Yeah. The pink hair isn't helping with
• 46:53
  that. Nah. Whatever. It's fine. He's got a wife.
• 46:58
  He doesn't have to care what anyone else thinks.
• 47:01
  Yeah. Who is he trying to impress? But that is
• 47:08
  the Muto card. Congrats to Nishida. Glad to see
• 47:13
  him rebound pretty nicely from that injury. Yeah,
• 47:21
  being prone to cuts might be a problem. I think
• 47:25
  it's because he's so dehydrated. And such sharp
• 47:30
  bones in his face. Yeah, I was... Looking at
• 47:34
  his picture on BoxRec, like, holy shit, dude.
• 47:37
  You can practically see his entire skull. Yeah,
• 47:43
  he's just got a very angular face. Excellent.
• 47:48
  It's like original PlayStation graphics. Let's
• 47:55
  see here. Moving to Zufa Boxing 3. There were
• 48:04
  quite a few stoppages here. I think that Zufa
• 48:12
  management, or the Zufa brass was like, hey guys,
• 48:15
  let's put the pedal down here. Because the last
• 48:19
  card was all decisions. Nobody stands out to
• 48:26
  my recollection. I'm going to say Leo Ruiz got
• 48:30
  a stoppage in 4. You get to keep your name. Congrats.
• 48:36
  So does Jabriobe Benito. I think that was a good
• 48:42
  knockout. I can't remember. It was. Abel Mejia
• 48:46
  was the quote -unquote house fighter. They were
• 48:50
  really talking him up. And then Pebenito just
• 48:55
  wasn't having it. Fucking iced him. Yeah, he
• 48:58
  beat the shit out of him. It was good. Yeah.
• 49:02
  Abel was okay to start, but he started getting
• 49:06
  a little reckless. And, yeah, Pavanito knew exactly
• 49:10
  how to turn it around. In the co -main, Umar
• 49:18
  Zambekov gets a stoppage in two. This was a pretty,
• 49:23
  like, dude was stiff. Stiff as a board. laid
• 49:29
  out on his back, eyes rolling in the back of
• 49:32
  his head. I shouldn't laugh at that, but it made
• 49:35
  me think of the stiff as a board, light as a
• 49:37
  feather. Yeah, that old game. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 49:40
  Yeah. But there you go. That was Ahmed El -Biali's
• 49:46
  demise. In the main... This was not a good fight.
• 49:55
  No. FAA Jogba stops Charles Martin at four. How
• 50:01
  was it that the odds, the betting odds, had Charles
• 50:08
  Martin so fucking close? Like, who sets these
• 50:14
  lines? I mean, a Jogba looked pretty shit in
• 50:18
  his last couple fights. Perhaps. But Charles
• 50:23
  Martin, long layoff. He looked like shit in his
• 50:27
  last fights. That's true, too. Yeah, I'm not
• 50:33
  sure how anybody would land on the idea that
• 50:36
  Charles Martin's gonna... Do anything? Yeah.
• 50:43
  I don't know, man. But somebody made money on
• 50:46
  a jogba, so... Yeah. But... Given that FA at
• 50:55
  Jogba is in the Zufa ecosystem, he's not going
• 51:01
  to get very many good fights. He was talking
• 51:05
  a lot of shit in his post -fight interview and
• 51:07
  has since on social media saying that I'm in
• 51:11
  the top 10 for heavyweights everywhere. Nobody's
• 51:16
  even mentioning me. Man, dude, nobody cares.
• 51:22
  No, and you signed with Zufa. There's no reason
• 51:25
  to fight you. Right, you're not going to... It's
• 51:29
  not going to be like a final eliminator to fight
• 51:32
  you. No. I mean, that's what you get for signing
• 51:37
  into the We're Our Own League company. Yep. You
• 51:43
  wanted the Zufa title? Congrats. You got it?
• 51:47
  This is the quality. Yeah, you're going to get
• 51:49
  it if this is the quality of your opposition.
• 51:54
  But yeah, that's like about all the time I wanted
• 52:00
  to give to Zufa. Yeah. Yeah. Let me see. I got
• 52:05
  more notes. The phone line. 833 -589 -7637. Send
• 52:12

• 55:05
  shit. Friday, February 27th. Probox in Arlington,
• 55:14
  Texas. Who are these people? It doesn't fucking
• 55:18
  matter. It's Probox. You're getting good fights.
• 55:22
  That's true, but there are some names I recognize.
• 55:26
  Renee Taez. Yeah. Maybe it's because I watch
• 55:32
  Pro Box that I recognize their names, I guess.
• 55:34
  But Bocanegra's fought there before, right? Yeah,
• 55:38
  I was going to say Bocanegra next. He's fun.
• 55:41
  And Aguilar, he's fun. Ranulfo Bocanegra? Bocanegra?
• 55:54
  Sorry? There's another Bocanegra on the card.
• 55:58
  Oh, there's two? Yep. Oh, this is a long card.
• 56:01
  Yeah, there's a lot. Anyways, it's Pro Box. You
• 56:08
  know they'll be bangers. That's what they do.
• 56:13
  Two kind of throwaway cards. Saturday, February
• 56:17
  28th. Manny Pacquiao Promotions on Amazon Prime.
• 56:23
  Oh, fuck. Where is it? The headline is Elijah
• 56:27
  Pierce versus Lorenzo Parra. Got to roll the
• 56:31
  R there. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't
• 56:37
  really care who most of these people are. Kermel
• 56:42
  Moten is on the undercard against Wilfredo Flores.
• 56:47
  And Manny Pacquiao Jr. versus Luis Santana. That's
• 56:54
  the bastard child, right? Is he? I think so.
• 56:59
  He's not a junior. His mom named him after his
• 57:03
  dad and forced him to admit he was his. Is he?
• 57:10
  I think that's the bastard son. I don't think
• 57:15
  that's one of the ones with Jinky. Interesting.
• 57:23
  Or are there two Emmanuel Pacquiao Jr.? His birth
• 57:27
  name says Manny Pacquiao Jr. Am I spreading rumors?
• 57:36
  Well, it's not rumors. He has a bastard son.
• 57:38
  Yeah, yeah. Of course he does. It's fucking Manny
• 57:41
  Pacquiao. At his prime, he could bang whoever
• 57:47
  he wanted. No. I am wrong. This is the one with
• 57:54
  Jinky. This is the legit Junior? Yeah. Sorry.
• 58:02
  Sorry. It's all good. This one is a bit of a
• 58:09
  prospect one. It's Queensberry. It's going to
• 58:14
  be on DAZN. This one's in Derby, England. I fucking
• 58:20
  don't know who these people are. Owen Cooper
• 58:22
  versus Constantine Ursu. I've heard those names
• 58:26
  before. We've seen Luke McCormick as well. Yes.
• 58:33
  This is probably not going to be as much of a
• 58:37
  banger card. This is probably going to be worth
• 58:40
  missing. This is Brit Slot for sure. The dude's
• 58:43
  name is Kane. That's fucking dope. It's one of
• 58:48
  my favorite wrestlers when I was a kid. Yeah,
• 58:54
  there's some very British names on here. Ben
• 58:57
  Fail. Fail is a hard last name to grow up with.
• 59:00
  For me, my personal litmus test of how bad a
• 59:09
  name is is imagining myself going through boot
• 59:15
  camp with it. If my name was Fail, good lord,
• 59:21
  the hazing would be insane. Yeah, that's a rough
• 59:28
  one. I'd probably change my name. Yeah, change
• 59:34
  it to Success. Oh, last one. Matchroom in Phoenix,
• 59:45
  Arizona. I will absolutely be in attendance.
• 59:49
  I'm excited for this card. Yeah, this is really
• 59:52
  good. The undercard leads a little bit to be
• 59:59
  desired, unfortunately, but Emiliano Vargas is
• 1:00:05
  going to be on it, so I'm excited to see him
• 1:00:06
  live. Abel Ramos is always a solid B -side. Yes.
• 1:00:15
  Against Tamir Smalls. Yeah, Abel Ramos will give
• 1:00:20
  you good work. And the main event, WBO Super
• 1:00:28
  Featherweight Champ Emanuel Navarrete versus
• 1:00:31
  IBF Super Featherweight Champ Eduardo Nunez.
• 1:00:36
  That one should be good. I'm super excited for
• 1:00:38
  this main. I'm a little jealous you get to see
• 1:00:41
  it live. I... am a little jealous uh for your
• 1:00:46
  jealousy because you you get to envy me jokes
• 1:00:51
  jokes jokes um yeah i i'm stoked this is i couldn't
• 1:00:57
  we were talking about it in discord like why
• 1:00:59
  the would you put this good of a fight in phoenix
• 1:01:04
  of all places i mean phoenix is a pretty big
• 1:01:08
  city isn't it it is absolutely it's uh top five
• 1:01:11
  in the us but Why not put it in Mexico? These
• 1:01:16
  guys are both straight up Mexican. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:01:18
  yeah. Fair. I hadn't thought about that. Then
• 1:01:23
  the other suggestion was L .A., which, you know,
• 1:01:28
  makes sense. Big city. Much bigger than Phoenix
• 1:01:31
  is. Much higher taxes, I assume. And then Texas.
• 1:01:38
  Yeah. Yeah, Texas. Would make sense as well.
• 1:01:43
  But then you wouldn't get to go, Leo. Yeah. The
• 1:01:49
  arena used to be our hockey venue until the team
• 1:01:55
  left. So now they don't have a steady source
• 1:02:00
  of income. So they probably got this on the cheap.
• 1:02:04
  Well, and it's a big venue, probably. Hockey
• 1:02:08
  arenas usually sit quite a few people. Yeah,
• 1:02:12
  when I was picking up my ticket, it has sold
• 1:02:17
  really well. Good. Fuck, if I was anywhere close,
• 1:02:23
  I'd go see Navarrete. I'm honestly thinking Nunez
• 1:02:30
  is going to pull this one out. A little bit of
• 1:02:32
  a dark horse situation. I can't cheer against
• 1:02:36
  my guy, though. Nav and... His steady stream
• 1:02:42
  of tacos. The donuts? Yeah, the Coca -Colas.
• 1:02:49
  On camera. At the weigh -in. Having a full sugar
• 1:02:54
  Coke. Yeah, well, he's gotta replenish his sugar
• 1:02:59
  reserves. I'm surprised he didn't bring a box
• 1:03:06
  of Winchellas. Has M &Ms as well? I don't know,
• 1:03:15
  man. I dislike Nav. I think he's fun. He's fun
• 1:03:19
  to watch. He seems like a fun guy in his interviews
• 1:03:22
  and stuff. I like Nav. I don't dislike Nunez,
• 1:03:26
  but Nav's my guy. I just think he's skated by
• 1:03:35
  for quite some time with how little he takes,
• 1:03:39
  how little, how unseriously he takes his career.
• 1:03:46
  He has skated by on, and I think that it's just
• 1:03:50
  not going to last. Yeah. But that in itself is
• 1:03:54
  kind of endearing. Like he doesn't, he doesn't
• 1:03:59
  seem to be very impressed with himself. I don't,
• 1:04:05
  I don't know how to say it. Like being a world
• 1:04:07
  champion is impressive, but now I was like, yeah.
• 1:04:11
  All right. I did that. I'll do it again. Watch
• 1:04:14
  me. So what if I lost moving up? I'll win again.
• 1:04:21
  Then he did. Yeah. I don't know. I just like
• 1:04:25
  Nav. I like his nonchalance. I need to find out
• 1:04:39
  what time first bell is. I want to be there for
• 1:04:43
  everything. Yeah, I don't get the people that
• 1:04:46
  only show up for the co -main and main. I don't
• 1:04:50
  get that. You paid for all of it. Go watch all
• 1:04:52
  of it. Yeah. When we went to... What was it?
• 1:04:59
  It was Bud vs. Madrimov. And... We were kind
• 1:05:05
  of talking the day before, like, oh, you know,
• 1:05:07
  what time do we want to get there? Do we want
• 1:05:10
  to stop and eat somewhere or something? And I
• 1:05:12
  was like, you guys can do whatever you want.
• 1:05:14
  I'm going at first bell. I'm going to be there
• 1:05:16
  when the gates fucking open. I'm watching every
• 1:05:19
  fight. For the boxing, if I miss that first unbroadcast
• 1:05:27
  four -rounder, I'm pissed. Because sometimes
• 1:05:29
  I fuck up the trains or I get on the wrong bus
• 1:05:31
  or whatever. Buses are hard in Japan. But no,
• 1:05:38
  I try and get there. I'm actually usually there
• 1:05:41
  before the doors open. Yeah, we got there before
• 1:05:45
  the doors opened. Yeah, I'm not much of a nerd.
• 1:05:47
  Sometimes it pays off. Sometimes if you're like
• 1:05:50
  the first hundred people in line, they give you
• 1:05:52
  some merch in Japan. That makes sense. That's
• 1:05:58
  pretty cool. I got a t -shirt at one of the Prime
• 1:06:02
  Video ones. Inoue and Nakatani were both on the
• 1:06:09
  card. I wasn't wrong, but it's Takuma. Yeah,
• 1:06:14
  that's what I was thinking when you said Inoue.
• 1:06:19
  See? Very cool. Free t -shirt. It's even big
• 1:06:25
  enough for me. Well, they often run out of larges.
• 1:06:34
  As much as Japan is tiny people, lots of the
• 1:06:38
  guys that go to the boxing are large. Not large
• 1:06:44
  in the grand scheme, but like a Japanese large.
• 1:06:50
  One thing that we did, we weren't sure what side
• 1:06:55
  of the arena we were getting our tickets on.
• 1:06:59
  As far as when it comes time to sunset. And we
• 1:07:04
  ended up picking the wrong side. Goddamn. Because
• 1:07:08
  we were there early, we just kind of got up and
• 1:07:11
  moved to another section. And there was nobody
• 1:07:15
  there. So we got to sit, wait for the sun to
• 1:07:20
  set, and then we went back to our seats. I don't
• 1:07:23
  get it. It's like buying tickets to a hockey
• 1:07:25
  game and only showing up for the third quarter.
• 1:07:27
  It's ridiculous. Or third period. But that's
• 1:07:35
  all we got. Probox, Pacquiao Promotions, Queensberry,
• 1:07:41
  Matchroom, the usual suspects. Not a bad random
• 1:07:49
  week in February. No, not a bad way to close
• 1:07:54
  out the month. So, we are going into Nav Nunez
• 1:08:03
  weekend. Parting words. Parting words. I always
• 1:08:10
  forget to prepare these. This weekend, because
• 1:08:14
  we record on Saturday, I'm going on a pilgrimage
• 1:08:18
  to the seven shrines of the seven gods of fortune.
• 1:08:24
  They're all in Narita City. I'm super excited
• 1:08:26
  about this, actually. So you stop at all seven?
• 1:08:30
  Yeah. That's pretty cool. Yeah. The one walk
• 1:08:36
  between the two is very long. I might cheat and
• 1:08:41
  take a bus, but we'll see. If you do it properly,
• 1:08:46
  the whole thing, it's 18 kilometers of walking.
• 1:08:49
  Goodness gracious. That's like what I did in
• 1:08:52
  London. God damn. Yeah, so the one stretch is
• 1:08:57
  5K. I think I might cheat. They don't care. I'll
• 1:09:01
  pay for all my stamps anyways. Yeah, like they're
• 1:09:06
  going to check the step counter or something?
• 1:09:08
  No. Yeah, exactly. Parting words I got. Don't
• 1:09:16
  punch monkeys. Always good. And check out Punch
• 1:09:22
  the Monkey. on instagram he is fucking adorable
• 1:09:26
  very cute yeah so there you go punch monkey is
• 1:09:32

  mean, hey. It's true. It's true. It's a fantastic
• 1:10:06
  attribute for what he does. All right. Me and
• 1:10:11
  the monkey are riding with Nav. Tune in next
• 1:10:15
  week to figure out who wins. You've let me down,
• 1:10:17
  Punch. All right. That's it for this edition
• 1:10:21
  of Boxing Before Dark. See you on the other side.
• 1:10:28
  Bye.
