All right, boxing B-sides.
0:55
What's that?
0:55
Did Artur Beterbiev -- Bivol just happen?
0:58
It sure did, but we're not talking about it this week.
1:02
So you'll have to tune in next time on Dragon Ball Z.
1:05
It was crazy.
1:06
It was crazy.
1:07
I'm sure it was a wonderful time.
1:10
I loved it.
1:12
Let's get into...
1:16
This one is a recap.
1:19
This from UFC, the Fight Night card, Jared Kennanier.
1:24
Mm-hmm.
1:25
Verso Rodriguez was...
1:28
It was fun.
1:30
Kennanier, old man, pulls it out.
1:33
He's...
1:34
You'd love to see it.
1:35
He lives where...
1:36
He's from the same city that I grew up in.
1:40
Really?
1:41
Yeah, it was pretty cool.
1:42
That's awesome.
1:42
For the people who want to stalk Leo here,
1:45
I mean, there you go.
1:46
Yeah.
1:47
See that clip right there.
1:48
Yeah, come to my face and come tell me to my face
1:51
how casual you think I am.
1:53
I'm still fucking fuming about that from last week.
1:56
I'm still...
1:56
I'm still fucking mixed.
1:59
It's okay, bro.
2:00
No worries, no worries.
2:01
Right, moving to some news here.
2:03
We got on the...
2:04
Both of these are in May.
2:06
One of them is date yet to be determined.
2:09
Josh Taylor versus Echo Esuman at welterweight.
2:13
I don't really care for...
2:14
Welter?
2:15
Yeah, I don't care for Josh Taylor, so...
2:18
Josh Taylor at welterweight is crazy.
2:19
That's not gonna be good, but we'll see.
2:23
I'm sure they picked this Esuman guy for a reason.
2:27
Oh yeah.
2:27
Josh Taylor's with TopRank, right?
2:30
He's still with TopRank?
2:31
No, he's at Matchroom.
2:33
He's at Matchroom now?
2:34
Queensberry.
2:36
Oh, Queensberry, okay, okay.
2:37
Yeah, which they partner with TopRank anyway, so...
2:41
Okay, okay, okay.
2:42
I remember that one time Bob said,
2:44
I don't know if y'all remember,
2:47
I will not...
2:48
Wait, hold on, I gotta do the Bob voice.
2:50
I will not bring another fighter to England ever again.
2:56
I remember that.
2:59
Do people wanna call and tell me how bad
3:02
my impression of Bob Aaron was?
3:04
Go ahead.
3:05
833luxpods, get in it.
3:10
Echo Esuman, whatever.
3:13
May 10th, Anthony Kakachi versus Lee Wood,
3:16
IBF 130 pound title.
3:19
That should be fun.
3:21
I expect, I'm hopeful that Lee Wood takes it.
3:25
Cause Kakachi's kind of a dirty fighter.
3:29
Past the point of, where I usually say
3:32
if the ref's not calling it, that means it's legal.
3:36
But it's a little bit past that point for Kakachi.
3:40
It's bad.
3:40
Yeah, it's pretty rough to watch sometimes.
3:43
So hopefully, Lee Wood pulls it out.
3:46
He's on a resurgence as well.
3:49
Let's go.
3:52
Hold on, I wanna see.
3:54
He fought Mauricio Lara twice.
3:57
Lada.
3:58
Yeah. Lada.
4:00
So between beating the shit out of Michael Conlon,
4:06
the two Lada fights, he lost one, he came back
4:10
and he boxed one pretty soundly and got the dub anyway.
4:13
And Lara missed weight.
4:16
And then he beats the shit out of Josh Warrington.
4:19
So that just makes me really happy.
4:22
Crazy, huh?
4:23
Yeah.
4:23
This is a great run.
4:25
I hope he does, he beats Kakachi as well.
4:29
Hopefully.
4:30
Recaps, not a whole lot on this one,
4:34
but we do have some fun.
4:37
Top rank on Valentine's Day.
4:40
Sidney Sweeney said no.
4:42
When I asked her to go out with me to be my Valentine,
4:46
she said no, it's all good.
4:47
I, whatever.
4:50
Starting off, we had Juanma Lopez.
4:54
This is Juanita, excuse me.
4:57
He's the son of Juanma Lopez.
4:59
That Juanma Lopez gets a stoppage in the first.
5:02
Shit wasn't even close.
5:04
So that was a little crazy, huh?
5:06
Yeah.
5:07
Keon Davis, DB3.
5:10
One of the- DB3 on me.
5:12
One of the Fighting Davis brothers stops Ira Johnson in two.
5:18
Congrats.
5:21
We're getting into some funny shit right now, huh?
5:23
Nico, Ollie Walsh.
5:25
Nico, Nico, Nico.
5:26
Drops the fucking ball.
5:29
Loses the split decision to Juan Carlos Guerra.
5:34
Did you guys know, hold up.
5:36
Leo, did you know that he's actually related to Muhammad Ali?
5:38
Bullshit, that's not possible.
5:41
I mean, I can't believe Top Ring has me
5:43
talking about that actually.
5:44
I'm surprised.
5:45
Like ever.
5:46
You would think that would be something
5:47
they shove down your fucking throat.
5:49
I know, huh?
5:50
All the time, but they don't.
5:53
Fucking Nico.
5:55
But he is not like his grandpa at all.
5:59
The apple has fallen quite far from the tree.
6:02
It's fallen in the river.
6:03
Yes.
6:07
No.
6:08
Like no notes.
6:09
I don't wanna dunk on this fellow anymore
6:12
than life is already dunking on him.
6:18
Moving up.
6:19
My last year, I wanna say last year,
6:22
prospect of the year.
6:24
If not, it was 2023.
6:26
TKO for Abdullah Mason gets the win over Manuel James.
6:31
That was brutality.
6:33
Mason just picked him apart
6:35
like a fucking rotisserie chicken from Costco.
6:39
That name actually sounds familiar.
6:40
I wonder who he's fought.
6:42
Manuel James fought Raleigh, I believe.
6:44
That's right, that's right.
6:46
So for Abdullah Mason to get him out that fast,
6:48
which is Rowley.
6:49
Yeah, that sounds like something.
6:52
Rowley can roll the fuck off.
6:54
Because damn, Abdullah Mason is on it.
6:57
Yeah, Abdullah Mason is, whatever happened in the last fight,
7:03
was it shaky?
7:04
Yeah.
7:04
Yes, it was.
7:05
He got knocked down like three times,
7:07
I think twice in one round.
7:09
Of course, yeah, that's a really shaky performance,
7:12
but let's cut the hyperbole, the negative hyperbole,
7:15
and get back on the positive hyperbole,
7:18
where Abdullah Mason is the next version,
7:20
the reincarnation of Floyd Mayweather.
7:23
Pretty boy Floyd.
7:25
I believe that, honestly, that Abdullah Mason was robbed
7:30
by a prospect of the year.
7:32
I love Moza Tama, just like every other guy.
7:37
He's got some fun knockouts, and that's it.
7:39
That's the only difference.
7:40
Yeah.
7:41
And he's a heavyweight, and he's British.
7:43
He's also Riyadh's guy, too.
7:47
Right, exactly.
7:48
That's another reason why he won.
7:49
He's linked up.
7:50
That's the only reason why I think that he was robbed,
7:54
was just because of that.
7:55
Because I love Moza Tama, too, don't get me wrong.
7:57
I think Abdullah Mason deserved it a little more.
8:00
Moving up, recent acquisition Vito Melnicki
8:03
gets a draw with Connor Coyle.
8:05
Melnicki was in trouble more often than Connor Coyle was.
8:09
Left a lot to be desired from Melnicki,
8:12
who was once like one of those hot prospects
8:14
on the PBC side of the house.
8:16
You always see a top-rank guy go to PBC,
8:20
but you never really see a PBC guy go to top rank.
8:23
It's one of the few, yeah.
8:24
One of the few.
8:26
Moving up, Rohan Polanco gets a stoppage in two.
8:32
Is this the guy who's from, he's Dominican?
8:35
I believe so.
8:38
Yeah, because these are the welterweights.
8:40
And he's, I'm trying to remember.
8:44
Somebody was saying something about him being like,
8:47
I put it in the Hall of Fame.
8:49
I didn't catch too much of Rohan Polanco's fight.
8:51
How did that go?
8:52
It was just an ass kicking.
8:53
It got stopped in the second.
8:55
I do know a lot of people are saying that Rohan Polanco
8:57
is going to be the future.
8:59
Terrence Crawford's right hook.
9:02
I call him a raptor hook in the
9:06
pickling.
9:06
It's fun.
9:08
Polanco is who Benavides fans claim Benavides is.
9:12
And then I was there, David.
9:14
David. Oh, OK.
9:16
Oh, shit. Yeah.
9:17
And oh, the response to that was, are you still really on this
9:22
after the monster did your boy dirty?
9:25
Ted's Ted's crazy.
9:27
Yeah, that's actually crazy.
9:30
Yeah. What are you talking about, man?
9:32
Why? How are you going to say this when Benavides
9:35
just beat the ever loving fuck out of David Morell?
9:38
Yeah, that's wild to say, actually.
9:40
That's actually wild. Yeah, quite.
9:43
But seriously, though, Polanco does.
9:46
He does look good very much.
9:48
Not at all a problem to like get on the hype train now,
9:51
you know, by the stock early.
9:53
It makes perfect sense. But like, let's chill out with the
9:58
he's like better than David Benavides.
10:00
That is that as well.
10:01
I'm never can agree with that for now.
10:04
That's a little too much for now.
10:06
Yeah, we'll see.
10:08
Moving up, Jared Anderson is back after his loss to
10:12
Martin Bacoli,
10:14
who you need over Marios Collias.
10:17
And it was pretty shitty.
10:22
At what one thing I can a good thing,
10:25
and this is silver linings that Tim Bradley,
10:30
at the very least, was saying Jared Anderson looks like shit.
10:35
He wasn't saying, oh, wow, this is like a reborn Jared
10:38
Anderson or anything like that.
10:40
Man, shut up.
10:41
This is the best I've ever seen Jared Anderson.
10:43
Yeah, no, none of that.
10:45
He was very honest, saying like, I don't know what the hell is wrong with him.
10:49
But he needs he needs to he needs to make some changes.
10:54
Who is Jared Anderson trade by?
10:56
If he wanted to kill me to this, Jared Anderson,
11:00
he is the last bashing him and Richard Torres Jr.
11:03
But don't even start a road tour.
11:04
So I'm going to go on a whole thing.
11:07
But he's the last show.
11:09
He's my sugar hill. Yeah.
11:11
Oh, shit. No, sugar.
11:13
Yeah, no, I take that back.
11:14
What the hell? No sugar.
11:16
Stewart, we're cleaning with Javon Sugarhill.
11:20
He does not put the K1 cronk. I'll tell you that.
11:23
Jared Anderson does not put the K1 cronk.
11:26
He's the nephew of Emmanuel Stewart for the people.
11:31
Or should I say now I'm not going to be that ballsy, actually.
11:33
That's kind of mean for the people that do not know.
11:36
I'll just say that I'm not going to say the word casuals.
11:39
But Jared Anderson, yeah, I don't know.
11:41
Nothing more to say on it.
11:42
He looked like ass. I'm surprised he got the win,
11:46
to be honest with you.
11:48
Like it was that bad. Beat down Zander.
11:51
Fuckin Zayas TK09 over Slava Spomber.
11:57
The Spomber's super tough, got his ass beat all nine rounds
12:01
when he took eight of them really well.
12:03
Solid win. He was undefeated.
12:05
Yeah. Up until that point.
12:07
It's all right.
12:08
Was even dumb ever in his career.
12:11
Spomer. Yeah.
12:14
Not that I'm seeing.
12:16
No, that's that's that's a pretty solid win for Zander.
12:19
Yeah, it's all right.
12:20
He got he's like a.
12:23
Neighborhood good kind of guy.
12:25
Only Germany, one fight in Dubai.
12:29
Good in the hood. Yeah.
12:31
And it's all right, though, still decent when kind of the level
12:34
you would want a young guy like Zander to be at.
12:39
We'll see what happens with him in a couple of years.
12:41
What he should be doing is calling out like Virgil Ortiz or.
12:44
He's not that guy or anyone, anyone that's at the elite level.
12:49
But you know your role right now.
12:52
I love I like when a fighter calls out, you know, obviously the best.
12:57
But the thing is, you also got to know where you stand in the world.
13:00
A boxing. Yeah.
13:01
You got to be realistic. Don't call out a virtual tease.
13:04
Maybe while I went before, who's been
13:07
who's been kind of had a bad rap lately. Tim Zou.
13:12
Maybe he's had a hard time.
13:14
She could fight cops and that'd be a good fight with him for him.
13:16
A good step up fight.
13:18
For Zander Zayas step up.
13:20
But I think Bochuk would beat his ass.
13:21
Well, Bochuk. Well, that's kind of a yeah.
13:25
I would say, yeah, I guess that's a little more of a higher tier.
13:28
Yeah, you're right. That is.
13:30
Whereas was named Tim Zou's kind of really on the on the
13:34
on the downward spiral of his career.
13:36
Unfortunately, yeah.
13:38
But we'll we'll see what happens with that.
13:40
But that would be a good opponent for Zander Zayas.
13:43
Brandon Adams and Andreas Katsarakis.
13:47
Those two won the overtime tournament last year.
13:51
So that's a good one.
13:53
Either one of those. Oh, good.
13:54
Oh, oh, yeah. That's another one, too.
13:56
You wouldn't expect an OTX guy like Bochuk, because Bochuk was on OTX.
14:02
Was he right? I don't think that's how you I thought you thought
14:05
Brandon Adams on OTX.
14:07
No, he fought Brandon Adams at Hollywood Fight Nights, I believe.
14:11
It was all Puerto Rico.
14:15
To the people watching my casual, my casualness is showing right now.
14:20
This was a 360 promotions thing and Kodo promotions as well.
14:26
Oh, OK, OK.
14:28
Oh, no, I'm thinking of Charles Conwell.
14:30
That's why that Chris Colbert.
14:31
So we were talking about earlier.
14:33
That's why I think Charles Conwell would be a good fight for
14:37
for Zander Zayas.
14:38
You think Jesus Ramos is out of reach?
14:41
I actually know that that him.
14:43
Yeah, that's not out of reach at all.
14:45
I feel like Jesus would beat his ass.
14:47
No, I think that would be a good fight.
14:50
A good scrappy fight.
14:51
That would be a good test for him.
14:53
Him or Brian Mendoza, both of those two.
14:55
Brian Mendoza is a fucking gangster.
14:58
Too tough for his own good.
14:59
I think those two would be damn good fights for for Zander Zayas to try out.
15:05
There's this guy from Angola.
15:09
He fights out of Portugal now.
15:11
His name is Lisa, Lisa Lima.
15:15
Oh, Lima. Yeah.
15:17
Lima is a good one.
15:19
He just beat an Indian prospect
15:22
who was undefeated at the time.
15:25
Yeah, it will be pretty good.
15:27
Lima is a good one.
15:28
He has the IBO title.
15:30
It's the type of shit that Zander should be getting as he moves up.
15:34
Yeah, first, you got to get the IBO.
15:36
Yeah, that's your that's like the end of the if you're not going to do the
15:40
continental Americas,
15:43
uh, I don't know, Easter Island title.
15:47
Well, you got to get you got to get you got to get the IBO.
15:50
Yeah, you got to go for IBO.
15:52
But top rank usually keeps all of their shit.
15:55
WBO typically.
15:59
Yeah, usually, usually.
16:01
I'm sure he would think that's beneath him.
16:03
But Josh Kelly's got anybody.
16:06
But I think you should start doing the top 10.
16:09
Anyone in the top 10, not top 15, actually, not top 15.
16:13
Not more to Zaliv, not Madrimov, not both.
16:17
No title holders.
16:18
No one your title holders.
16:19
No, you got to get like the second to final eliminators.
16:22
I would go with top 20.
16:24
Yeah, top 20 is my bad from the from he's at number five.
16:27
So five down to 20.
16:29
Yeah, pretty much anyone there is game.
16:32
Could fight Nikita's you.
16:35
There you go. Beat is beat him and then get Tim fired up.
16:39
Exactly. And that would be a good fight in Australia.
16:41
They wanted to. So that's there you go.
16:44
Speaking of fun, Keishon Davis, that was handling some fucking business.
16:48
Now he was the businessman.
16:51
Shall we talk about the
16:53
the new developments before that fight?
16:57
Go ahead.
16:57
Um, are we allowed in this?
17:00
Say whatever you like. I can cut whatever the rate.
17:03
The racist stuff that was.
17:05
Yeah, the shit that who depends on who it was.
17:09
Do we know who it was?
17:11
Well, we keep Keishon said it could have been Teofimo.
17:14
At first, he was blaming Baron Shick, but he also said that he apologized.
17:18
And I guess he found out it was a Baron Shick for some reason
17:21
and that he thinks it's Teofimo.
17:23
OK, interesting.
17:25
So for the uninitiated, somebody sent a box of bananas and a watermelon
17:32
to Keishon before the fight.
17:35
He was at a hotel before the fight, and they sent it to him.
17:39
And it said, like, and here's a snack for after your height jumps.
17:45
Businesswoman businesswoman, which the reason Keishon jumped
17:48
to the conclusion was the timing of it.
17:51
The press there had just been a press event where
17:54
Baron Shick called Keishon businesswoman.
17:57
So the timing, I understand why he jumped to that conclusion.
18:02
It makes sense to me.
18:04
I thought it was Baron Shick or someone from his team.
18:06
I thought so, too. At first, that would make sense.
18:09
But, well, I don't know.
18:12
He's Ukrainian, too. They really.
18:14
I've never really seen too much like that.
18:17
You know what I mean?
18:19
Race is different over there.
18:21
They're like a little bit more casual about their racism.
18:24
Like, yeah, like Sergey Kovalev back in the day
18:28
when he was beefing with a Donna Stevenson.
18:30
Yeah. Well, that was he was like, yeah, Stevenson's
18:35
a crappy character, but nonetheless, stuff like calling him gorilla
18:41
or calling him a monkey.
18:42
Yeah, that was some crazy shit.
18:45
That's it's kind of like normal for them.
18:48
And it's not cool, but.
18:50
It's not very nice.
18:53
No, it's not at all, but it's just how they are.
18:56
Kind of. Oh, yeah.
18:57
They need to learn better, but that's how they are.
19:00
But there you go.
19:02
Keishon handled his business.
19:03
Body shot, too.
19:05
Oh, body shot chaos are the best.
19:08
Mm hmm.
19:09
I'll be very underrated, but very beautiful.
19:11
Yeah. I'm not sure what else to make of it.
19:15
It was a quick stoppage for four rounds.
19:18
Like, is Berenshik overrated or is Keishon better than we thought?
19:23
I don't think I think that I think Berenshik was scared.
19:26
You think so?
19:27
I think he was scared because honestly, people call him a bum.
19:31
I don't really consider Berenshik a bum because he had to have had the title for a reason.
19:35
He beat Navarrete.
19:37
Exactly. I mean, well, Navarrete, he's not exactly the best,
19:41
but he's still a solid fighter enough to, you know,
19:44
he's still enough of a solid fighter to put up a fight.
19:48
Yeah. You know what I mean?
19:49
Something like that.
19:51
But Keishon, oh my God, they gave me the chills when I was watching it because what was the name?
19:56
Big Bud? Yeah.
19:58
He put into light and it really, I really like it really blew me away when he said that.
20:04
It was like watching a young Terrence Crawford because he was right.
20:07
I haven't felt like that since watching someone like Terrence Crawford.
20:10
Come on up. You know what I mean?
20:11
Terrence Crawford at 135 was the beast.
20:14
Yeah. How the fuck did he ever make that weight?
20:18
I don't know. Considering now he's going to fight Cinnamon.
20:21
Oh, yeah. That's what the hell.
20:24
Now that that that was that's beautiful.
20:28
Yeah, it was an amazing performance.
20:31
Yeah. Looking at Boxwreck, of course, take that.
20:35
Take it with a grain of salt.
20:36
He's at number seven.
20:39
Ahead of him, Ray Murataya.
20:42
I really like Ray, but Kishon beats him.
20:45
I don't know why he's ranked that high, but I mean, yeah, he's a good guy, but he just
20:51
come on, you know, he that, you know, that type of guy like Kishon.
20:56
William Zepeda.
20:58
I disagree with that as well.
21:00
I highly disagree.
21:02
I think I think Zepeda is like number 10.
21:05
I don't you can hate me all you want.
21:08
If you want to send.
21:09
No, I'm sorry. I'm talking to people.
21:10
If they want to call in, tell me how wrong I am.
21:13
So Abdullah Mason's at 10.
21:16
Shurichio Yoshino is at nine.
21:19
That is crazy.
21:20
No, no, I disagree with that.
21:21
So Zepeda is above those two?
21:23
Yeah, yeah.
21:24
All right.
21:25
I think I think Kishon's above Zepeda and Murataya.
21:30
And Abdulayev, I assume as well.
21:32
Yeah.
21:33
Oh, yeah.
21:34
Right now he is.
21:35
He has to be.
21:36
Top three are Tank, Shakur and LomaChenko.
21:42
Well, the thing is Loma is out.
21:45
I think he's out.
21:46
He's gone.
21:47
I think so, too.
21:48
He'll be.
21:49
They already they're already playing to vacate the title.
21:51
I'm pretty sure.
21:52
Right.
21:53
He's got three months and it'll be a year out.
21:56
I personally want to take to fight Loma.
21:58
That's never going to happen.
21:59
Honestly, I think Tanks going out the door to you think soon.
22:03
I think he is.
22:04
I think he's going to have one more fight in him.
22:06
We'll see how he talks after the Roach fight.
22:09
Hopefully he fights someone noteworthy.
22:12
He's not fighting Shakur.
22:13
He probably won't fight Kishon.
22:16
I don't know who's going to fight, but he needs to fight someone good.
22:18
He's not fighting Ryan.
22:20
I know people have been talking about that recently.
22:22
Kishon and Ryan?
22:23
No, no.
22:24
Tank and Ryan rematch.
22:25
Oh, no.
22:26
Before the Haney stuff came out.
22:27
I know they were mentioning that again.
22:28
Nobody needs to see that, but I don't know who Tanks going to fight.
22:29
Tank and Ryan.
22:30
Tank and Ryan.
22:31
Tank and Ryan.
22:32
Tank and Ryan.
22:33
Tank and Ryan.
22:34
Tank and Ryan.
22:35
I think Kishon, if he wanted a big fight, the biggest fight he could have would probably
22:39
be with Kishon.
22:40
But other than that, Shakur, but she's not going to fight Shakur because Shakur doesn't
22:43
want to fight him.
22:44
Oh, they're stable mates, aren't they?
22:46
Yeah, Shakur and Kishon are stable mates.
22:49
Yeah, they're like friends or whatever.
22:51
They don't want to fight.
22:53
Yeah, they can't.
22:54
That'd be wrong.
22:55
It would be.
22:56
I can't see BOMAC running across the ring.
22:59
I can't see BOMAC running.
23:01
I can't see.
23:04
Yeah, BOMAC can't run.
23:07
So looking at the other title holders, Kishon with WBO, Lobachenko has IBF, probably going
23:14
to get vacated.
23:15
Shakur WBC, Tank WBA.
23:19
Let me pull up the IBF possibles.
23:24
I'm pretty sure it was Murtaj and then it was named like Zaur.
23:30
Zaur Abdulayev, who is just above Kishon in the rankings.
23:34
Yeah, I don't agree with that either.
23:36
But yeah, those two of the the way that the IBF works, they always have their one and
23:45
two spots vacant.
23:47
They do this so that they don't have to order mandatories.
23:51
And basically number three is where the rankings begin.
23:56
But Abdulayev is in number two, so he has to he's he's a mandatory now.
24:03
And if Lomachenko doesn't take it, then he's going to be stripped of the title.
24:07
Well, we'll see what happens with that.
24:10
We'll see if Lomachenko comes back, which again, I doubt.
24:13
I don't think he's coming back either.
24:15
Like the according to top rank and PBC people, like spokespeople, negotiations for Tank and
24:23
Lomachenko were going really well.
24:26
They just pulled out out of nowhere.
24:28
So he probably just doesn't have any more.
24:31
He probably I think a good that was a good I guess last fight against Kambosis.
24:35
It was a big champion last time, but it would have been really crazy to see him fight Tank,
24:40
you know.
24:41
Yeah.
24:42
And Tank, I think that could have been a big pretty good pay per view.
24:44
Really big.
24:45
I would have loved it.
24:47
Yeah.
24:48
Life disappoints all the time.
24:49
You know.
24:50
Yeah.
24:51
Makes you want to cry.
24:52
So he's in the number two slot as a man for mandatory number three, four and five are
24:58
Andy Cruz, Murataya and Mark McSio.
25:01
Oh, actually, that's a good fight in the future.
25:04
Key John versus Andy Cruz rematch.
25:06
Oh, yeah, of course.
25:07
That's that's always been on the books as a possibility because it's three.
25:14
How you beat him.
25:15
What?
25:16
Three times in the amateurs.
25:17
So and Andy Cruz keeps calling him out like you.
25:22
He wants to continue humiliating you.
25:24
Are you going to stand for that?
25:26
Because you've adapted to the pro game a lot better than he has so far.
25:31
I think he could not go any cruise.
25:33
I think he could beat Andy Cruz because he's if you're go if you're bloodlusted to use
25:39
the discord term, then that's that's a different type of game right there.
25:44
And pros is totally different from the amateurs.
25:48
Exactly.
25:49
Frank Martin is at number seven.
25:51
OK, I think they'll probably be the most realistic fight next for Keisha Davis.
25:56
Some like framework.
25:58
Oh, but that's like across the street.
26:01
And yeah, Topper doesn't do that.
26:03
They well both try not to.
26:06
Yeah.
26:08
Try to keep things in house.
26:09
Yeah.
26:10
Raymore, I think is with Topper.
26:14
Yeah, which I mean, if they want to put that fight on with with Keisha, they can.
26:19
But I don't think they are.
26:20
Yeah, they're just going to give Keisha.
26:23
I think they're going to give Keisha the teal female route now.
26:25
They're just going to let him fight some shitters for a while, maybe fight for another title.
26:30
I don't know what that was up at Topper recently.
26:32
They just like to have their fighters fight shitters.
26:35
They just like to let them go.
26:37
Yeah, like like Janabek.
26:39
They do the same thing with Janabek.
26:41
They do the same thing with Teal female.
26:44
I mean, we'll see what happens with Loma if he ever comes back.
26:48
But Topper doesn't, you know, they don't do the fighters like that.
26:52
They don't give their fighters that much challenge until like Riyadh.
26:55
So they have to they have to for the money.
26:59
Like Jerry Anderson, I guess if you're looking back on it, he did not belong in Riyadh.
27:03
Like something like that.
27:04
You know what I mean?
27:05
Yeah.
27:06
So the top rank ESPN deal is about to run out.
27:12
Yeah, that's that's going to be in a couple months.
27:16
Yeah.
27:17
So there it sounds like.
27:19
Well, they're already aligned with Riyadh season.
27:23
I wonder where where they're going to go.
27:27
They're probably going to have to go to the daisien.
27:29
They have to.
27:30
Who else is going to take them?
27:32
Nobody else wants them.
27:33
Nobody else really.
27:34
PPSPB already had a problem with that.
27:37
Looking for someone.
27:38
They got picked up by Prime.
27:39
Yeah.
27:40
And the only reason why I think Prime picked them up was because they have big name fighters,
27:45
big pay per view fighters.
27:46
Right.
27:47
That's the only thing keeping PBC up right now is Tank and Canelo.
27:50
And now David Benavides a little bit.
27:52
Well, Canelo just left for Riyadh.
27:54
Well, yeah, now he's gone for Riyadh.
27:56
So where close do they have Tank and David?
27:59
They can put on maybe not name brands events, but they have a good stable of fighters that
28:08
can make, you know, two doubleheader, tripleheaders that are really worth paying for.
28:15
Well, I would pay for David if he fought a good fighter.
28:19
I wouldn't pay for some of Tank's fights.
28:21
I wouldn't pay for some of David's fights.
28:23
They would need to fight good fighters.
28:25
Yeah.
28:26
As well.
28:27
Other than that, I really don't see anybody pay per view worthy on PBC side.
28:31
You know what I mean?
28:33
People need to readjust their price points.
28:37
$80 is not realistic anymore.
28:40
Nobody wants to pay, especially in this economy, nobody wants to pay $80 for a damn fight to
28:44
see Tim Zue versus Keith Thurman.
28:47
I don't want to pay.
28:48
I'm not paying to see that.
28:49
And I know it's free on Prime if you have a Prime membership.
28:53
And you know what?
28:54
I want to be honest.
28:56
I pay for the $25 Riyadh events.
28:58
I pay for those.
28:59
I watch those.
29:00
I have a Dazone subscription.
29:03
Just more and more smaller time promotions that I really want to see.
29:08
So you're for a prospect scouting.
29:11
They're moving to Dazone.
29:13
And there's another service I just came across.
29:17
It's BXNGTV.com.
29:22
They have a lot of local smokies.
29:24
Like the one that I said, like they put their fights on on Saturdays.
29:28
And like I'm not going to skip something else that's actually kind of important to the landscape
29:34
to watch this.
29:36
But I can go back and watch replays.
29:39
And that's always been a fucking problem with these people.
29:41
It's like, I don't know where to find your stuff.
29:43
But now they're on one place, which I like.
29:46
A lot of people don't like that's all in Dazium, but I do like that.
29:49
I do, too.
29:51
I do.
29:53
I don't like something RJ from in Discord, he always points out that they broadcast their
29:59
broadcasts are in 720p.
30:01
Yeah, that's another thing today.
30:03
Yeah, that's bullshit.
30:04
Poor quality.
30:05
We're primed.
30:06
Really poor quality.
30:07
It's 4K.
30:08
If your device can support 4K.
30:10
Which I mean, they need to upgrade their equipment.
30:12
Yeah.
30:13
Dazone.
30:14
I don't know why they don't have 4K.
30:15
Or at the very least 1080.
30:17
1080, yeah.
30:18
It's like the base, that's the base of HD at this point.
30:23
Yeah, 720 is like the old school.
30:26
Right.
30:27
You know, but we're going to get into that now.
30:30
We're into the semantics, huh?
30:32
Well, yeah, we'll see how much of that makes the makes the public release.
30:36
Yeah.
30:37
Anything more for Kishan and Berencic?
30:40
I can't wait to see what happens with Kishan in the future.
30:42
I am excited for him.
30:44
Because I kind of was like reluctant at first.
30:49
Is he that good?
30:50
Because he didn't seem to be that good.
30:52
And then the weed thing happened.
30:55
It turns out.
30:56
Yeah, he actually can be pretty explosive.
31:00
So when he stopped, I think that's when everything became better is when he stopped, stopped
31:05
with the marijuana smoking so much.
31:08
Moving on to the 15th in Manchester again at the Co Live Coop Live.
31:16
The fucking bunch of shit on here that I don't care about.
31:19
Arnold Barbosa split decision over Jack Cattarall interim WBO 140 pound title.
31:26
Did you think you'd get the decision out there?
31:28
No, no, not at all.
31:31
Not at all.
31:32
I didn't either.
31:33
I was surprised.
31:34
I was expecting a Jack Cattarall unanimous decision.
31:38
So was I.
31:39
There he was in a in a foreign land with surrounded by people that were booing him.
31:45
I mean, they cut it out, but they were booing the hell out of him.
31:48
Everybody was against Arnold Barbosa.
31:50
But somehow Golden Boy made the fucking gods help Arnold Barbosa get the decision this
31:57
time around.
31:58
I was surprised.
31:59
Now, was it a good fight?
32:00
It's all right.
32:01
It was all right.
32:02
Yeah, it was all right.
32:03
Not bad.
32:04
Like I actually expected it to be.
32:06
But you know, it was not bad to watch.
32:08
Am I going to follow Arnold Barbosa's career in the future?
32:13
I will.
32:14
I will.
32:15
I will watch him on the undercards and I will sometimes talk about him.
32:19
I'll think about him every now and then.
32:21
But other than that, no, I'm not paying attention to him that much.
32:27
It'll it'll come up on here anyway.
32:29
Just.
32:30
Yeah.
32:31
The state that he's at now.
32:33
And oh, what's what's what was your take about this fight right here, though?
32:45
About I liked it.
32:46
I'm I was happy with Barbosa's last performance against Ramirez at the Latino night in Riyadh.
32:54
Dumbest shit ever.
32:55
But nonetheless, I'm hopeful that he gets to fight for the actual title because it's
33:01
either he's going to fight to a female who he was chasing when they were both at top
33:05
rank and not going to be fighting anymore and ever again.
33:11
It's probably not going to happen.
33:13
But if he gets the full title, he joins a crop of solid, solid names.
33:18
So I'm who are his contemporaries?
33:21
Mother fucking Richardson Hitchens has the I.B.F.
33:28
O'Fimo has a WBO, Devin Haney has WBC and.
33:35
Ryo has WBA.
33:36
Well, you have two Devin Haney's in there.
33:41
One pretty good fighter.
33:42
Was the name of Issa Pueblo.
33:46
Well, yeah, he's he's OK.
33:49
He's a bad.
33:51
And Ryo.
33:52
Good scalp.
33:53
You have.
33:54
Yeah, yes.
33:55
You have two boxers.
33:56
So a pretty aggressive guy and then kind of a mix between those two.
34:01
And in Ryo, there's other options that are around to show Subaru Matias fighting soon.
34:07
That's a good name.
34:08
Fucking Andy Hiraoka.
34:10
He's pretty.
34:12
I would put him in the boxing theory.
34:16
Boxing laundry.
34:17
I'd have him at ironed.
34:19
Yeah, I agree.
34:20
He's good.
34:21
He's he still shows.
34:23
Maybe there's like a little bit of somebody that's elite in their prime and stuff can
34:28
exploit it.
34:29
But otherwise, like a lot of people are going to have trouble with this athleticism.
34:33
Yeah, I agree.
34:36
Adam Azim just beat fucking Lippen yet.
34:40
I think Adam Azim.
34:42
I think Azim might be on the hanger.
34:47
Because Lippen yet wasn't ever really that good to begin with.
34:50
So him being in the hamper, it's not not a not very good.
34:56
Yeah.
34:57
Oh, I don't know.
34:59
We can.
35:01
I'm excited to see Barbosa.
35:05
So far, not too keen on him as a fighter, but I do enjoy his personality.
35:12
I like him.
35:13
I like the guy.
35:14
Yeah, I can't hate the guy.
35:15
He's a he's a really humble guy.
35:16
He is.
35:17
I love humble fighters.
35:18
It's just I just do.
35:19
I just can't watch.
35:20
Yeah, it's not that aesthetically pleasing in the ring.
35:24
Exactly.
35:25
But still, another Chicano kid going up.
35:29
Can't hate it.
35:31
But anything more for the matchroom card?
35:34
No.
35:35
All right.
35:36
One quick one in Mongolia.
35:40
I have not been able to find any footage of this, but Sembatar Erdembat, he's been he's
35:48
fought on pro box a handful of times and it's been pretty good.
35:53
Pretty exciting.
35:54
Mongolians always come to rumble.
35:56
Always.
35:57
They always come to fight.
35:58
So in the rare times you see him fight, they always come to fight.
36:02
Yeah.
36:03
So I was hoping to get more info, but he gets the win stoppage in six of 10.
36:09
So congrats to Erdembat.
36:12
Wait, I think you're missing a card.
36:15
Which golden boy?
36:16
Oh, fuck.
36:18
I keep forgetting about this one.
36:20
I think you forgot the last time, too.
36:22
I did.
36:23
God damn it.
36:24
What is wrong with me?
36:25
At the same time, it's not really that important.
36:28
We just, you know.
36:29
Yeah, I'm pulling it up.
36:30
This one was in Oxnard or Anaheim.
36:33
Not Oxnard.
36:35
There's not very many here that are all that important to me.
36:42
Oscar Duarte headlining.
36:43
Yeah.
36:44
And he was awesome.
36:46
Just some quick ones.
36:47
Kenny Sims Jr. UD over Kendo Castaneda.
36:52
There was somebody else in the stable.
36:56
Alexis Rocha.
36:57
They were talking about them fighting.
36:59
I just am struggling to care about that.
37:01
Yeah, I don't care for Alex Rocha or even Curiel.
37:06
Darius Fuljum gets the win in four over Winfred Harris.
37:10
Winfred very clearly did not want to be there.
37:13
Hopefully he got paid at least.
37:15
And main event Miguel Madueno comes to rumble, gets stopped in seven.
37:21
Oscar Duarte gets the win.
37:24
Very cool fight.
37:25
I liked it.
37:26
It was really fun.
37:27
You love to see this guy.
37:29
It's they're not the Mexican styles evolving a bit.
37:35
They're starting to become more more technical prowess involved, like seeing the likes of
37:41
Marquez Canelo.
37:45
They're stepping away from the quote unquote flat foot brawler.
37:49
Well, I don't know if Oscar really falls into the category of being technical.
37:58
He has more technique to his brawl.
38:01
He's not like people.
38:02
I'll tell you that.
38:03
He's definitely more technical than Pitbull.
38:05
Pitbull is like modern.
38:07
That's the classic.
38:08
Yeah, he's modern class style.
38:09
Yeah.
38:10
But Duarte is a little bit more technical than that.
38:13
Whereas like Canelo, like half his career was like Pitbull and half his career is kind
38:18
of a little more refined, technically refined.
38:23
He became the way my the delineage for me.
38:26
What is the Canelo years and then the dinero years?
38:31
Yeah, that's perfect.
38:33
Actually.
38:34
Yeah.
38:35
Saul dinero.
38:36
Miguel.
38:37
No, Miguel Madueno.
38:39
He has options because that outing was fantastic.
38:44
He had just lost to Keyshawn.
38:49
And I know they were making a big stink about that on the broadcast saying that Keyshawn
38:53
couldn't stop them.
38:54
But look who did.
38:55
Yeah, but is that really fair?
38:58
I don't.
38:59
That's not fair at all.
39:00
I don't think it's fair.
39:01
Now is that two different weight classes?
39:03
Yep.
39:04
With two different style fighters.
39:07
Very different.
39:08
For Keyshawn to like box you box you up.
39:11
Yeah, that's that's what he does.
39:14
But what if he stays at 135?
39:19
There are still options for him.
39:23
He could go up to 140.
39:25
He didn't look terrible.
39:26
Honestly, I think if he wants to stay 135, Yoshino would be a good fight.
39:32
Good one.
39:34
Yeah.
39:36
This is one of those ones where their stock went up.
39:39
I was happy to see how well he did.
39:44
But for Oscar, he's at 140.
39:48
He lost to Ryan Garcia.
39:50
Yeah.
39:51
Keo.
39:52
Another loss back in the day.
39:55
And then Jojo, you want to get Jojo Diaz?
39:57
That's Jojo Diaz though.
40:00
Jojo Akhmedov.
40:01
Have I seen you before?
40:03
This was on the Latino Night.
40:07
Yeah.
40:08
It was OK.
40:09
Doodoo Night.
40:10
Eh.
40:11
Man.
40:12
I have to have to look into that a little bit more because throwing we were talking
40:19
about with Arnold Barbosa and like all of the possibilities that exist at 140.
40:27
I think just put Oscar into that same conversation.
40:29
It's the same thing.
40:32
Yeah.
40:33
Same exact thing.
40:34
Yeah.
40:35
All right.
40:36
Let me do this really quick.
40:38
Support for this episode is from Carnivore Snacks.
40:41
One snack that I think most people can agree on is jerky.
40:44
When I was in Afghanistan, it was my go to whenever I needed something that had a bit
40:47
of heft, but I didn't really have time to sit down and eat a meal.
40:51
So jerky brands, they come and go.
40:53
And while the big players are still out there, let me put you on game about Carnivore Snacks.
40:58
Two ingredients.
40:59
Meat.
41:00
Salt.
41:01
This is the jerky for people who appreciate the power of raw simplicity.
41:05
This isn't your gas station grab and go bullshit.
41:08
This here savory beef seasoned by the one essential mineral that sharpens the flavor
41:13
and preserves the meat.
41:14
No frills or fancy marinades, just unadulterated flavor.
41:18
My first order was the ribeye.
41:19
It's my favorite cut of steak and goodness fucking gracious.
41:24
The marbling on the jerky was immaculate.
41:28

42:23
flavor, these additions are a must.
42:25
My personal favorites, the enoki mushrooms add a lovely little crunch that hides inside
42:30
of the noodles, and the oyster mushrooms make the flavor rich and makes the meal feel a
42:34
lot heartier.
42:35
The original blends are also pretty good.
42:38
I recommend checking out the kimchi style, just my suggestion.
42:41
Pour it into the water as you're boiling your noodles up and you're good to go.

Let's just blast through all these quicker ones.
44:38
Friday, February 28th, Yvonne Michel has a fucking dealio in Quebec.
44:46
Eduardo Hernandez versus Rene Telles.
44:50
That's the headline.
44:51
That's the guy that Scofield fought.
44:54
Oh, yeah.
44:56
He is, isn't he?
44:57
Yeah.
44:58
That's the one that he went to rumble with.
45:03
And came out the victor.
45:05
Moving to March 1st, got a couple to throw out.
45:10
No limit in Brisbane.
45:14
Liam Wilson.
45:15
We've got Oscar Valdez versus Yousef Dib.
45:18
This is a rematch.
45:20
So enjoy that.
45:21
It's going to be at like fucking one in the morning, midnight on the West Coast, I think.
45:27
Yeah.
45:28
Matchroom in Northern Ireland, Lewis Crocker versus Patti Donovan as the headline.
45:33
Craig Richards versus Patrick McCrory is your co-main.
45:37
He's moving back down to super middle.
45:39
Queensborough.
45:40
Queensborough.
45:41
In Burnham.
45:42
I don't really know who any of these people are.
45:49
Oh, Joe Joyce.
45:50
Joe Joyce.
45:51
Joe Joyce.
45:52
That's right.
45:53
Joe Joyce versus Patrick Cortes.
45:57
This is the one.
45:58
He has this fight and then he has Dillion White in a month.
46:02
In a month.
46:03
Yeah, that's wild.
46:04
That's a really bad idea, dude.
46:06
I just I've seen that go bad so many times.
46:08
I don't even know exactly.
46:10
That's going to give him bad luck.
46:12
I hope so.
46:13
I hope so.
46:14
So badly.
46:15
Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully.
46:16
Hold on a second.
46:17
Karol Itama.
46:18
Karol Itama.
46:19
He is indeed related to Moses.
46:24
Yeah, he is fighting Michael Ludwigak.
46:31
I think I got that one.
46:33
But there you go.
46:34
Those are pretty much the only two.
46:36
This Itama is at light heavyweight.
46:39
He's 12 and 1.
46:41
Lost by KO in the fifth.
46:44
His only loss.
46:45
That was a while ago.
46:49
Long long time ago.
46:50
So that's it for the Queensburg card.
46:53
Salida Promotions in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.
46:58
Only one really worth pointing out.
46:59
Subaru Almentias for Gabriel Valenzuela.
47:03
So that's fun.
47:05
It'll be on the zone.
47:06
Why do I have that there?
47:08
All right.
47:09
Whatever.
47:10
Subaru Almentias is going back in pretty quick turnaround.
47:15
All right.
47:16
Back up to the top.
47:22
Pollo Versandro Martín, the BBC super lightweight.
47:27
I don't know.
47:31
I like Sandra Martín a lot.
47:33
But I don't know.
47:35
Sandra Martin.
47:36
I think he could probably win the fight if he fought the right way.
47:43
Yeah, that's if you don't come correct, then he'll kick you.
47:49
He'll be in the bar.
47:51
Yeah.
47:52
So picking up Jose Valenzuela, Rio versus Gary Antoine Russell.
47:58
Just call the Russell brothers by their middle names.
48:02
Jose Valenzuela.
48:04
I'm hopeful that Ryo wins.
48:06
Pulls it out.
48:08
I want Ryo to win too.
48:09
I want him to keep that title.
48:11
Yeah.
48:12
Because GAR is.
48:13
He's OK.
48:14
He's OK if I had a watch.
48:17
I like my man, Rio.
48:19
Can't spell garbage without.
48:21
GAR.
48:22
There you go.
48:27
Antoine's fine.
48:28
I was there for the postal fight.
48:32
They post.
48:34
Yeah, they stopped him in the 10th round and postals just stood there like, what the fuck
48:40
is going on?
48:41
I like everything.
48:42
I remember that.
48:43
Yeah, they were trying to keep Antoine's 100 percent K.O. ratio.
48:49
Yeah.
48:50
That was kind of BS.
48:53
Quite.
48:54
And moving up, WBA lightweight title, Gervonta Davis versus Roach.
49:00
We have to talk about it.
49:06
What round?
49:07
Six.
49:08
I was going to six as well.
49:10
Yeah, I'm thinking six.
49:12
And if it's not the six, then it's got to be a late stoppage.
49:16
You think you think it'll go later?
49:18
No.
49:19
I honestly I think it's going to go six rounds tops.
49:23
And the thing is that if by chance, if Lamont Roach makes to the end, Gervonta Davis still
49:32
winning no matter what.
49:33
It's a kangaroo court type of fight.
49:35
They're not going to let Davis lose the fight no matter what.
49:39
Even if Lamont Roach fights like hell, like if he fights like we've all that fight and
49:44
he for some reason, he lasts against Gervonta Davis.
49:48
He still doesn't get it.
49:49
He still doesn't get the damn win because you know how politics work in boxing, man.
49:54
Of course, they're going to keep it in house.
49:57
Only reason why they took away Canelo's always because I mean, it's Canelo.
50:00
He always hops around.
50:02
You know, I think that was the end of that was the end of his as his time with the Asian,
50:08
right?
50:09
It was his last fight with matchroom.
50:11
Actually, I think I think that was the second to last fight with with matchroom.
50:15
Yeah, it was triple G.
50:16
Yeah, I was at the last one.
50:21
Yeah, but but either way, they're they're not going to take away Gervonta Davis's own
50:28
no matter what.
50:30
I don't care what anybody says, not even a fucking draw.
50:34
I mean, I don't want to get into it, dude.
50:36
I really do want one again to Gervonta Davis here right now on the call.
50:41
We don't have to get into him.
50:44
So yeah, what I liked is that I just said what round and you already knew exactly what
50:48
I was talking about.
50:50
That's crazy.
50:51
We both knew the same exact round.
50:52
You're right.
50:53
I'm thinking just for the sake of variety, I'm going to go third quarter seven, eight
50:58
or six, seven, eight or nine.
51:01
That's valid.
51:02
That's valid.
51:03
I like that.
51:04
Wait, I kind of do want to see my opinion about think.
51:08
Go for it.
51:09
I know, but I feel like this is going to be like a little too controversial.
51:13
Well, the unedited versions only go behind a paywall.
51:17
OK, that's the only place you could get them.
51:19
So if you want, I can cut it out.
51:21
What's that bad?
51:22
It's not controversial, like crazy bad.
51:23
It's like it's like it's like the Floyd Schofield.
51:26
Oh, that's not bad.
51:27
That's actually not as bad as Floyd Schofield.
51:30
But I honestly think Gervonta Davis, from what I'm hearing, if you were to retire after
51:34
this fight, he's not going to remember that well.
51:36
He's going to remember it as much as Julian the Hot Jackson, if not even less.
51:42
If he were to leave now.
51:44
Yeah, Gervonta Davis to me has not done anything to support no worthy besides fighting Ryan
51:49
Garcia.
51:51
He was gifted a title at 135.
51:53
And don't get me wrong, he's a great fighter.
51:58
He's a great he's amazing fighter, but he didn't earn that title at 135.
52:03
He's done some work at, you know, the weight classes below.
52:07
But I mean, does anybody remember his 130 run?
52:10
How much does anybody remember his 120?
52:13
You remember much sickos do I do?
52:16
I'm saying like the general like like public, you know, I mean, oh, absolutely not.
52:20
Exactly.
52:21
Maybe they remember Pedraza and that's it.
52:24
But they remember him now and think of him as that he was the same way back then.
52:30
Exactly.
52:31
Which he wasn't at all.
52:32
But doesn't matter.
52:34
Another one.
52:35
Gamboa maybe.
52:36
But he didn't fight anybody else of the four princes.
52:39
He had not fight Devin Haney or Teofimo, who he should have fought.
52:45
He should have gone up in weight, but he didn't.
52:48
And if this is really Les last fight, so be it.
52:52
Rest in peace, Tank Davis.
52:53
But I don't know, man.
52:56
Retire with you.
52:57
Oh, but that doesn't mean shit to me.
52:58
He's fighting minority in the conversation of Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, never
53:05
Ray Leonard.
53:06
If anything, you want to be even more controversial?
53:10
Sure.
53:11
I think Devin Haney is going to be remembered more than Jervonta Davis, maybe not remembered
53:15
like, OK, yeah, he was a better fighter, but he'll be remembered more.
53:20
You know, I mean, yeah, you'd be more fondly remembered than Jervonta.
53:24
Name recognition.
53:25
Yeah.
53:26
Because he's still going to be fighting and what he fought Ryan, he fought Ryan at 20
53:33
was 26.
53:34
Right.
53:35
Yeah.
53:36
Twenty six, 25 tanks, 30 years old.
53:41
And he hasn't fought anybody.
53:44
No worthy.
53:45
Actually, I said this in the chat the other day.
53:47
He's the only fighter at 135 right now that actually fought for a title.
53:52
Shakur and Edward Santos fought for a vacated title.
53:57
Davis was given was an email champ.
54:01
And then Lomachenko was also for a vacated title with Lomachenko.
54:04
Or not Lomachenko.
54:05
Loma was vacated, vacated, fighting for the vacated title with Ken Boses.
54:10
That's it.
54:11
I don't know.
54:12
You could hate me for my Jervonta Davis.
54:13
I don't get me wrong.
54:15
The reason why I'm so hard on him is because he is such a great fighter.
54:19
I think Jervonta Davis potentially could have became undisputed when if he followed
54:24
him earlier.
54:25
But I mean, that's neither here nor there.
54:28
How do you feel about my opinion?
54:30
No, Devin Haney is 26.
54:34
Yeah, he fought Brian Garcia, 26, 26.
54:39
He's still got time to to build up more.
54:42
Exactly.
54:43
And the tank, I mean, who else has he fought besides Ryan?
54:49
You know, we know we fought.
54:50
We obviously know we fought.
54:52
But who like who was of note that he fought?
54:55
Who was noteworthy, noteworthy name that he really fought in that resume as aged well?
55:02
Besides Ryan, I was going to say Leo Santa Cruz, but I don't know how well that's aged.
55:09
He brought him up.
55:10
He brought him up and wait.
55:11
Yes, he did.
55:12
And he's basically out of the sport now.
55:14
He is out of the sport now.
55:16
OK.
55:17
Only one I could think of is Mario Barrios is the only other.
55:22
That's that's actually a really notable win in my opinion.
55:25
Was it aged well, though?
55:26
Because yeah, he has a title, but he looked like shit against Abel Ramos.
55:31
Yeah, I agree with you.
55:34
But the only thing is that in my opinion, the reason why it's so noteworthy is because
55:37
he's now a welterweight.
55:39
I see what you mean.
55:41
And you want to see how how crazy.
55:44
Not crazy, what's the word?
55:45
That kind of shows you the greatest tank.
55:48
What the greatest tank like the difference in levels in the game, I guess, in terms of
55:54
greatness.
55:55
People wanted Terrence Crawford to fight Canelo, right?
55:58
Yeah.
55:59
But who was really calling for Tank to fight Terrence Crawford or Boots?
56:05
People want anyway to go up and fight Tank.
56:08
But who is asking for Tank to move up?
56:11
You know what I mean?
56:12
Yeah, I see.
56:13
Nobody wants Tank to move up.
56:14
No, I have not heard one opinion about Tank moving up and fighting Moots.
56:18
And again, that's a silly opinion.
56:20
It's a really silly thing to do, kind of.
56:23
But it's just the matter that you're in that kind of conversation.
56:27
Exactly.
56:28
Like you hear you.
56:29
I mean, you hear all the time about Boots and Canelo, not Boots, Canelo and Crawford.
56:33
And Crawford was a welterweight.
56:34
He started at 135.
56:36
Yeah.
56:37
And moving up to 168.
56:38
OK.
56:40
But you don't hear anybody talking about Tank moving up a couple weight classes.
56:44
Why?
56:45
Why is that?
56:46
We just want him to fight at all.
56:49
Just period.
56:50
Exactly.
56:51
Just somebody.
56:52
Of note.
56:53
Yeah.
56:54
Find somebody who fucking matters that's in your weight class.
56:57
Like you're pulling up Lamont Roach just as well.
57:01
Frank Martin, you sniped him early.
57:05
And Hector Garcia, you pulled him up.
57:08
The only thing is that what I wish Tank could have done was go up to 140 with everybody
57:14
else.
57:15
That would have been legendary and fought everybody.
57:18
Like when Teofimo and Devin Haney and them.
57:22
Everybody moved up.
57:23
The thing with that is that Tank really could have fought them all at 140 and became undisputed.
57:29
I know becoming undisputed obviously is not the be all end all for boxing.
57:38
But at the same time it's like well at one point Devin Haney and Matias and Pitbull were
57:46
all title holders right?
57:50
He could have gone up and shaken the division up and became undisputed when all those guys
57:53
were up there.
57:54
And I think that if he had an undisputed run at that weight class like that with all those
57:59
guys no doubt about it he would be remembered just for that.
58:04
But he's done nothing like of note.
58:08
Something like you know what I mean?
58:10
He hasn't done anything like that.
58:12
He hasn't reached out for greatness.
58:15
He stayed comfortable.
58:16
833 Lux Pods.
58:17
Oh.
58:18
Tell me why you disagree.
58:21
Oh because that it's a spicy take yes and it's one that I'm sure that there's a certain
58:30
subset of fans that don't want to hear it.
58:33
Specifically like Tank stands.
58:35
But yeah looking at his resume it's not looking great.
58:42
He's not going to be remembered fondly as you put it.
58:47
No.
58:48
No.
58:49
And honestly like I think like so many other guys that if Tank fought him he would have
58:55
been remembered more.
58:57
But now these other guys are going to be remembered way more than him.
58:59
And the argument that I've always seen with Tank fans is that he makes more money.
59:03
So what?
59:04
Yeah.
59:05
So what?
59:06
That's not just because you make more money doesn't mean you're greater.
59:08
Right.
59:09
You know what I mean?
59:10
Yeah your pay per view splits nobody fucking cares.
59:13
Only you care of course because that's your wallet.
59:16
But the rest of us like I don't give a shit.
59:20
Okay.
59:21
About how much your pay per view buys.
59:22
I don't get paid for that.
59:23
I exactly paying for it.
59:25
So I want to see maybe one of yeah maybe one to pay for your damn pay per view buys.
59:29
Right.
59:30
Right.
59:31
Yeah we were saying that about PBC.
59:36
Yeah.
59:37
And their new deal with whoever.
59:40
Well Tank Davis just do better.
59:43
Hopefully you don't retire after this fight.
59:44
If you do then you're going to fade into obscurity.
59:47
I think that he'll be remembered in the same like through the same lens as Julian Jackson
59:54
like because of that stupid power.
59:58
But not remotely remembered fondly.
1:00:00
Right for winning taking the hard fights.
1:00:04
Win or lose.
1:00:05
Yeah.
1:00:06
Yeah.
1:00:07
Great.
1:00:08
Wow.
1:00:09
Bold takes over here man.
1:00:10
I tell you.
1:00:11
That's what the B and B side stands for is bold.
1:00:14
Bold.
1:00:15
Old slides.
1:00:16
That's all we got though.
1:00:19
That's it for the March 1st.
1:00:21
It's a busy day.
1:00:23
Not a whole lot of it is actually very good.
1:00:26
If you want to be just completely disgusting you can watch No Limit.
1:00:31
That'll take you.
1:00:32
Then you can have a power nap that'll take you into the matchroom and or Queensbury.
1:00:38
Then you can double screen Salida and PBC.
1:00:42
Yeah.
1:00:44
Oh man.
1:00:46
That's I'm probably going to end up doing that.
1:00:51
All right.

CARTING WORDS.
1:02:24
CARTING WORDS.
1:02:27
You go first man.
1:02:29
Oh shit.
1:02:32
One that I've been trying to do, trying to give something positive to think about.
1:02:41
Positive New Year's resolutions for example.
1:02:43
Instead of like eating better, exercising more, like no shit.
1:02:48
Drinking less alcohol of course.
1:02:51
They're not quite as fun.
1:02:53
So those are the ones people usually give up on.
1:02:56
So try to do a positive.
1:02:58
Trying to do a positive one.
1:03:01
I'm still on it.
1:03:02
I'm like, how far are we?
1:03:04
We're like six weeks into the year and I'm like on week five of uh, I've been doing vocal
1:03:12
coaching and fucking exercises to get better, taking my singing more seriously.
1:03:20
So that's fun.
1:03:21
I've been doing that.
1:03:23
And some positive parting words.
1:03:27
This is from Walt Whitman.
1:03:29
Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you.
1:03:33
That's beautiful.
1:03:34
Yeah.
1:03:35
I like that.
1:03:36
Oh shit.
1:03:37
I just came across another one.
1:03:38
This one's from JFK and it just really, I think it underlines everything I was saying
1:03:48
about the positive or the fun resolutions.
1:03:53
So JFK.
1:03:55
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not
1:03:59
to utter words, but to live by them.
1:04:02
That's even better actually.
1:04:04
Why are you doing me like this?
1:04:07
That's fucking crazy, man.
1:04:10
Yeah.
1:04:11
Crazy.
1:04:12
You want to see my last words?
1:04:16
Yeah.
1:04:17
Parting words.
1:04:18
What do you got?
1:04:19
Parting words.
1:04:20
I am a casual.
1:04:22
I love boxing.
1:04:24
But make me pay for this shit.
1:04:27
Give me a reason.
1:04:28
Reason for what?
1:04:29
To pay.
1:04:30
To pay?
1:04:31
Yeah.
1:04:32
Oh yeah.
1:04:33
Give me a reason to pay.
1:04:34
Give me a reason.
1:04:35
You know, seeing Lamont, Roach and Javon to tank Davis, it's a waste of money.
1:04:40
It's a waste of money.
1:04:41
And I hate saying that.
1:04:43
Honestly, I think Ryo versus JR is going to be better.
1:04:47
So in the future, I hope there's better fights.
1:04:50
I love boxing.
1:04:51
But man, I hate when promotional companies do this shit with the fighters.
1:04:55
I hate when fighters do this.
1:04:56
You know?
1:04:57
Yeah.
1:04:58
So we'll see what happens with Tank in the future.
1:05:00
And I hope, I wish him the best.
1:05:02
I wish all the fighters the best.
1:05:03
I say it all the time.
1:05:06
I just hope everyone's having fun.
1:05:08
Yes, I agree.
1:05:10
All right.
1:05:11
That's it.
1:05:12
We'll see you on the other side of Tank.
1:05:13
And we'll be talking about the Riyadh card next time.
1:05:17
We'll see you next week.
