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. Alright. Shall we? Yes.
0:27
Well, well, well. Boxing before dark. Back up
0:31
in your ears. A whole lot of shit to talk about.
0:35
Not a whole lot of fights to talk about. That's
0:38
a little saddening. That's what we're here for.
0:42
We're here for the fights. Yeah, it's just a
0:46
really slow time right now. Everybody's gearing
0:49
up for end of October into December. Yeah, seems
0:54
so. But there is something interesting coming
0:58
up in November that you're going to get to see.
1:01
Yeah. Nabil Anan versus Jonathan Haggerty for
1:06
the Bantamweight Muay Thai title. That is exciting.
1:10
That's a really good fight. I'm more excited
1:14
for some of the undercard just because they're
1:16
more famous and I actually know who they are.
1:23
What's his name on it? Rod Tang's on it. And
1:27
is it Super Vaan? Yeah. Yeah. Those two I actually
1:33
know. Not going to lie. I don't know who Aneen
1:35
and Hagerty are. It's still going to be Lin.
1:38
Yeah. I was going to say, I'm expecting Anon
1:41
to put it on him. Because he's got free... He's
1:47
like a Fundora build. Oh, is he? He's the crazy
1:52
tall guy with like... The long limbs? Yeah, that's
1:56
him. Nice. Okay. I do know who he is. I just
1:59
didn't know his name. Yeah, he's really good
2:01
to watch. That's my problem with one is I have
2:05
a hard time remembering the names. Oh, yeah.
2:08
Because they're from all over the place. Yeah,
2:11
and they're just like so different. Yeah. But
2:16
I'm super excited for that. I think it's going
2:20
to be great. And it's going to be like nine hours
2:23
long. I'm going to have to leave my house in
2:26
the morning, pack a lunch, sneak in a half dozen
2:30
beer, pack a supper. It's going to be like eight
2:34
hours of fights. Yeah, you're going to be there
2:37
for quite some time. Yeah. And since it's Japan,
2:42
I have no idea if the concession stands are even
2:44
going to be useful. I think one... we'll make
2:50
we'll have them i think they'll have them but
2:54
when i went to ryzen the lineups were like half
3:00
an hour 45 minutes long to get to the front and
3:03
twice i got to the front and they were sold out
3:06
of everything except beer by the time i got there
3:09
that's not good so yeah but this time i'm just
3:18
gonna be smart and pack Like, maybe not a full
3:21
lunch, but at least some snacks and a sandwich.
3:26
Yeah. Not going to be sitting there with my Tupperware
3:28
and a spoon eating, like, fried rice or something.
3:31
Just finger foods. Yeah. Yeah. Still, that's
3:37
a long time to be there. I'm still excited. Doesn't
3:41
matter. I'm trying to think if there's anything
3:46
on the same day. What's the date? This is November
3:48
11th? I wanted to say 24th, but I don't know
3:56
why. I'm trying to think if there's any boxing
3:59
on at the same time. That's not useful. What
4:08
number is it? 173. Typed in 1 in Tokyo and it's
4:15
just... Oh, shit. That's the day before my conference.
4:21
I have to have my shit dialed in. Oh, well. Conference
4:26
is also in Tokyo. Double travels? Nah, I'll probably
4:34
just come home. It's not that far. Well, speaking
4:39
of Fundora build, Fundora Thurman postponed due
4:43
to injury. I had not heard about this. I am disappointed.
4:52
Breaking news. It was a hand contusion is what
4:59
I'm seeing. On Fundora? Yes. When you said postponed,
5:06
I assumed the sermon was heard. Yeah, that's
5:09
a safe assumption, but not this time. Crazy.
5:15
That's just bad luck. Gotta be. He's never had
5:21
an injury before, or at least never one that
5:23
was public. Well, and contusions is just like,
5:30
he split his knuckles open hitting the bag or
5:33
something, right? Um, contusion is bruising?
5:38
I thought it was, yeah, like, or fight bite.
5:44
I don't know what the real terms are. Like, when
5:48
your skin splits open. Let's see what a contusion
5:56
is. Nope. Oh, yeah. Bruising. Bruising. Bruising.
6:06
That's gotta be a really bad bruise if he has
6:09
to cancel the fight. Yeah. Bone bruise, maybe?
6:15
Crazy. Well, speaking of crazy, Arturo Gaddy
6:22
Jr. What the fuck? Found dead? Yeah. Yeah. So,
6:29
I had misremembered, as I usually do, I thought
6:33
Arturo's kids were both with the first wife,
6:36
but apparently the son is with the second wife.
6:40
Um... The one that I am pretty sure killed daddy.
6:47
And the kid was also a boxer. And he was starting
6:53
to travel and go to training camps and stuff.
6:56
And there's a bit of a theory out there that
6:58
he had been really sheltered. Like, he wasn't
7:01
allowed to have his own Instagram and stuff.
7:04
His mother ran all that. Wow. So, yeah, it's
7:09
why I didn't follow it. Because it was well known
7:14
that it wasn't actually him. It was his mom.
7:16
And so there's a bit of a theory that once he
7:19
got out in the boxing world, he found out about
7:22
the rumors and the controversy and stuff. And
7:25
that his mom had been hiding from him the whole
7:28
time that she'd been arrested and investigated
7:30
for his dad's death. Whoa. Yeah. And the reports
7:38
are that he hung himself, which is... how gaddy
7:42
died too or gaddy senior died so i don't want
7:47
to stir any conspiracy theories but that's that's
7:51
making the rounds the also crazy conspiracy theory
7:55
that i think is much crazier is that the kid's
7:59
set to inherit his dad's money next year but
8:04
i had oh yeah and she she did it again i don't
8:08
think that's true But that's the crazy conspiracy
8:13
theories going around. Yeah, that is... The way
8:18
it lines up is... It's a little too neat. Yeah,
8:24
I don't know about that. I mean, finding out
8:27
that your mom probably killed your dad and hid
8:30
it from you your entire life and is now probably
8:33
kind of... I don't want to say forcing, but is
8:37
really encouraging you. To box and make money.
8:43
She just seems like a horrible person. Is this
8:50
the same one that fought Mayweather? I think
8:54
in an exhibition. If Gaddy's son fought Mayweather
8:58
in an exhibition. But are you mixing up Gaddy
9:01
and Gotti with an O? Yes, I am. That's exactly
9:05
what I'm doing. I was going to say, I don't think
9:08
Arturo Gatti's kid has done any exhibitions and
9:11
stuff. He was on one of the youth teams and doing
9:14
quite well. I think he was looked at to go to
9:18
the Olympics soon. It's really sad either way.
9:23
Yeah, it is. He was in Mexico. They found him
9:28
in his, I guess, apartment. I don't think he
9:32
lives there, but he was down there for training.
9:36
Gonna follow in his father's footsteps, style
9:39
-wise. Yeah. It's really, really sad. No matter
9:46
how it happened. This next one you're gonna have
9:54
to set up for me, because I have no idea what
9:57
is going on here. Okay, we're gonna talk about
10:00
minimum weight for a second. So... Tataran and
10:04
Marvin Jerusalem are both Filipino minimum weight
10:10
champions. So Jerusalem fights next week. I don't
10:19
know what the fight dates are, but they're really
10:20
close together. There's one week between the
10:23
two fights. So Tataran was fighting Val Yunan,
10:28
is fighting Val Yunan. applied for it to be a
10:31
mandatory defense of his belt, which would free
10:35
him up to fight whoever the hell he wants, which
10:40
was, I was hoping, was Jerusalem. But it's been
10:46
announced that he's going to fight Kalazo. Jerusalem
10:50
is? Sorry, Tataran. I got the names all mixed
10:54
up again. I think Tataran is. That's the rumor.
11:01
I had been hoping for a Filipino super fight
11:05
unification of minimum weight, which would have
11:08
been fucking baller. But that's not going to
11:12
happen now. Because whoever fights Collazo is
11:15
going to get iced, I think. Would it have been
11:19
better for them to unify their titles? That's
11:22
what I wanted. I wanted an all Filipino unification
11:26
in the Philippines. I think it would have been
11:28
the biggest. crowd that minimum weights hold
11:33
in a long time i think the filipinos would have
11:35
showed up and showed out but the the rumor is
11:40
that tataran's going after kalazo next which
11:43
is a bigger name and a bigger payday probably
11:46
but i i was hoping for the filipino super fight
11:50
that would have been better for like the for
11:53
the story of the whole thing yeah but it sounds
11:57
like kalazo's moving up soon so i guess they're
12:02
trying to get the money while they can i mean
12:07
it's minimum weight i don't think any of them
12:09
are making a whole crazy money yeah although
12:13
i guess for the filipinos like if you fight in
12:17
america and get paid in u .s bills probably goes
12:21
a lot farther in the philippines yeah probably
12:24
but then getting paid in I don't even know what
12:27
the money is in the Philippines. Pesos. They
12:29
are a peso? Yeah. Yeah. So, anyways, minimum
12:36
weight is good right now. Like, Kalazo's on top,
12:44
but he's going to be moving soon. And the people
12:47
that are left behind are all at a comparable
12:50
talent level. I know everybody says they're tiny
12:55
and it's no fun to watch them, but it is fun
12:57
and you're all wrong and you should keep an eye
13:00
on minimum weight. They throw so many punches,
13:04
Leo. Yeah, I know. So many punches. Why do I
13:09
have at the top of mind that Knockout Freshmart
13:13
is doing something soon? He's coming back, but
13:17
he's moving up. Okay, that's what it was. BP,
13:20
Freshmark, yeah, because he held a belt for eight
13:22
years at minimum. I forget how many times he
13:25
defended. I think it was like 10, maybe. He lost
13:29
his 10th defense. It might have been more than
13:34
10 defenses. Anyways, he lost his belts, but
13:39
he's coming back at 108. Old man deserves to
13:43
eat a sandwich. I have no problem with this.
13:46
Small guy deserves to get the large value meal
13:50
for once. How old is CP Freshmart now? 30s, I
13:57
believe. Which is old for being 105 pounds. It
14:02
is. It is indeed. He is 35. That's really old
14:10
to be 105 pounds. That's a small person. I love
14:19
CP Fresh Mart. Well, there's like four of them,
14:23
but they're all fun. Yeah, well, like in 1FC,
14:28
there's a bajillion Fairtex. Similar situation.
14:34
Yeah, yeah. What's the yellow and red trunks
14:40
that all the Thai guys wear? Like SSR? M80 or
14:47
something? Oh. They all wear the same shorts.
14:52
Thai colors. It's not, though. It's just whatever
14:56
company that pays for them. Anyways, minimum
15:00
weight's on fire right now. People need to stop
15:03
being weird about watching small guys. not sure
15:13
how i can segue that one to david allen training
15:16
fighters i didn't know about this apparently
15:19
everyone else did but uh i saw an interview he
15:23
was talking about how he can't corner his guys
15:27
that are fighting on the same card as him and
15:30
how he was leaving very specific instructions
15:32
for the the guys that were stepping in as trainer
15:36
in the corner is he not allowed to corner them
15:40
or Does the timing not work out? He doesn't want
15:44
to corner people the same night he fights. I
15:46
see. I don't think it's that he's not allowed.
15:51
He doesn't want to. I don't think Dave Allen
15:54
likes to work that hard. Interesting. Interesting
16:01
methodology from Dave Allen here. He has won
16:09
me over in the interviews I've seen before this
16:13
fight. Someone was like, a lot of guys have trouble
16:16
after retirement. And Dave's like, fuck that.
16:19
I'm so excited to retire. I can't fucking wait
16:22
to be done with this work bullshit. Good. And
16:28
he was also talking about how he knows what level
16:31
he's at. He's like, but if I win this one, I
16:33
get like... He's been... Orally promised some...
16:38
That sounds bad. That's not how you say it. Verbally.
16:43
Verbally promised. That if he wins this, he gets
16:48
some... Some... With Eddie. Yeah. Oral promise.
16:58
Whatever. You know what I meant. Yeah, I did.
17:02
I wasn't gonna say anything. Yeah, I would expect
17:11
that if he wins this, that he gets something
17:12
bigger. This is pretty winnable. It's really
17:16
50 -50, I think. The bookies have it 50 -50.
17:21
Dave Allen's paying 2 -1, so I put down a hamburger
17:25
bet on Allen. Nice. Yeah. My illegal betting
17:34
site that I've been using forever changed their...
17:40
style on the thing. And they also seem to have
17:42
downgraded their boxing. When I move back to
17:45
Canada, I'll have to get one of the normal ones,
17:47
I guess. What, like FanDuel or something? Something.
17:52
See, I started betting on boxing before it was
17:54
legal in Canada. And I just kept the same website.
17:58
Why don't you sign up now? You're still a Canadian
18:01
citizen. Yeah, but it's illegal to place bets
18:06
in Japan. Oh. Well, that's dumb. Yeah, you can
18:12
bet on three things in Japan. You can bet on
18:15
horse races, boat races, and bicycling races.
18:20
That's the only three things that's legal to
18:22
bet on here. Stuff where people don't get hurt.
18:27
I don't know if that's true. Have you ever watched
18:30
those boat races? I have not. They flip real
18:34
bad. Is it the mega speedboats? These are...
18:41
They're not the drag race boats. They go around
18:44
a course. They're like F1 boats. Oh, okay. It's
18:47
pretty cool. Fun. Oh. I got nothing on this one
18:55
as well. Zerto on Vogue. Another fashion magazine.
19:00
Did you see it? No, I haven't. I feel like I'm
19:05
out of the loop on this one because I don't think
19:08
Zerto's that good looking. He's not bad looking,
19:11
but they are some nice pictures, so whoever the
19:18
photographer was set him up well. That's an interesting
19:22
picture. Yeah, he got set up nicely, but I don't
19:27
know, he's... He's kind of chubby. Well, yeah,
19:33
this is a dude who enjoys his food. I'm just
19:36
saying. Yeah, these are all pretty basic, but
19:43
that's still really cool. I think it's pretty
19:46
cool. And the clothes are really nice. Like,
19:49
they did dress him well. I couldn't read the
19:53
articles because I don't read Spanish, but...
19:56
I use Firefox. It just offered to translate the
20:01
whole page for me. Okay. I was lazy and did not
20:05
read the article. Yeah, no, I could translate
20:11
it if I wanted to. I didn't care that much, to
20:14
be honest. I don't have to translate it, and
20:17
I still don't care that much. It is kind of cool
20:23
that boxing's getting popular enough that boxers
20:28
are getting into other things now. I don't remember
20:32
the last time I saw a boxer in a fashion magazine.
20:35
That actually is something. Because those types
20:40
of magazines do have their finger on the pulse.
20:43
Yeah, like, the last person I can think of, and
20:48
I'm sure there's somebody since him, but it would
20:50
have been De La Hoya. I'm sure somebody else
20:55
has been in a magazine that I just didn't know
20:57
about. I'm sure, yeah, there has to have been
21:02
someone else. I just, I can't think of anyone.
21:07
Call in and tell us. Yeah, 833luckspots. What
21:11
fashion magazines have we missed? I know Tsutsumi
21:17
is just fucking loving it. That's all his Instagram
21:20
is right now. It's just him in fashion magazines.
21:25
And restaurants. Food and clothing? That's pretty
21:32
trendsetter. It's not a bad thing. Yeah, pretty
21:34
trendsetter. If that's what your out -of -ring
21:39
activities are, I can fully support that. Zerno,
21:43
too, if it's just clothes and food, you're winning.
21:52
Oh, speaking of winning, I don't know who's going
21:57
to win. Probably, I'm going to be backing Badu
22:00
Jack against Noir Mikhalian. In their rematch.
22:07
Yeah. You gotta back. You gotta back Jack. Yep.
22:14
Bad dude. Jack. I still. Every time I see his
22:22
name. I think of that awful fucking cut. Split
22:25
his entire face in half. Pretty much. Opened
22:29
his third eye. Gross. But Badu Jack is not fun
22:35
to watch. And he's not that good. But he always
22:40
just barely wins. Well, not always, but usually
22:44
just barely wins. But he is getting old. I think
22:50
he's on the other side of 40. Is he? I think
22:54
so. Let's make sure of that. Yes, he is 41. Fucking
23:02
ancient. Fucking ancient. For cruiserweight,
23:07
though, he's not that old. Yeah, I guess. I'm
23:10
not used to watching the heavyweights. Oh, speaking
23:15
of heavyweights, Frank Sanchez vs. Daniel Dubois.
23:19
IBF Eliminator. I really, really want Frank Sanchez
23:23
to win because I do not want to see Usyk Dubois
23:26
3. Yes, I can agree with that. Nothing against
23:32
Daniel. Also, like, Frank Sanchez always shows
23:38
up. Eh. I mean, he could win. He could. He does
23:47
have the style to give Dubois trouble. Think
23:52
like a Diet Usyk. He is Cuban, so... Yeah, he
23:59
could be older than he claims. And he claims
24:02
to be 33. He does not look 33. He certainly does
24:07
not. I mean, some people just look old, but...
24:11
Do you think this will be fun? Or do you think
24:15
it's going to be like a punch -punch -clinch
24:18
heavyweight slop? I think it'll be heavyweight
24:22
slop. Not Daniel Dubois' fault. Fair enough.
24:29
I guess that's okay. Yeah. I don't know. Nobody
24:38
listens to this podcast for heavyweight talk
24:40
anyways. How about Ryan Garcia talk? Ugh. Calling
24:47
out Mario Barrios. Ugh. I did notice that...
24:59
He could. Barrios is ass. This is kind of an
25:04
ass off, though, isn't it? Yes. Yes, it is. Like,
25:09
I don't know if anybody's gonna win. It's just
25:11
who's gonna lose. I don't know. Fucking garbage.
25:17
I did notice Ryan Garcia was doing interviews
25:20
again, but I didn't listen to any of them. They
25:24
all have clickbaity titles, like... What was
25:30
his last take? Terrence Crawford is in a Hall
25:34
of Famer or something. Oh, yeah. Come on. Triple
25:39
G shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame. That's a
25:43
very special take to have. Anyways, I fucking
25:49
hate Ryan Garcia. I hope Mario Barrios beats
25:52
him. I have no strong feelings either way about
25:57
Barrios. I agree. I don't think he's that good,
26:00
but I don't hate him. So we're going to back.
26:05
What's Barrios' nickname? He's the Aztec, right?
26:09
Yeah. We're going to back the Aztec, or I'm going
26:12
to back the Aztec on this one. Fuck Ryan Garcia.
26:15
I do not want Ryan Garcia to win. It's just,
26:18
man, Barrios is booty. Straight booty. Yeah.
26:26
But it's not like Garcia's good. No. He's the
26:30
one trick pony. So as long as Barrios can keep
26:35
his right hand at home. Perhaps. Garcia's pretty
26:42
fast. Yeah, but he's also stupid. He is, though.
26:54
His ring IQ is fucking seven. Room temperature?
27:00
No, that's too high. In Celsius, even? Maybe
27:09
in Celsius. I don't know. I don't want to see
27:16
Ryan Garcia anymore. I'm sick of him. It's bullshit.
27:21
Ryan Garcia as a welterweight champion? Are you
27:24
fucking kidding me? Roley will have to come beat
27:30
him again. Unified. That would leave Crocker
27:37
and Brian Norman. That is not a very good division.
27:49
Brian Norman. really stands out in that. Yeah.
27:54
Yeah. Yeah, 147 is not good right now, hey? It
27:59
is not. And it's one of the... It's usually one
28:03
of the showcase divisions. Yes. There's... Devin
28:09
Haney's moving into it for whatever that's worth.
28:13
Who's he fighting again? Brian Norman. I hope
28:19
Norman ices him. Me too. I really, really am
28:24
hoping for that. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to
28:29
see any more Devin Haney. Roley's fighting Pacquiao?
28:34
It's looking like it. Yeah. Ugh. I forgot to
28:39
put that on the outline, but yeah. Roley's not
28:42
that good either. Nope. Like... I do hope he
28:47
beats Pacquiao, though. Put the old man to rest.
28:51
Like... If he keeps winning, he's gonna get hurt.
28:57
Because let's say he beats Rolly. Awesome. He's
29:03
got a title again. What do you do now? Do you
29:09
fight the other Titleist? Yeah, like... I don't
29:15
want to see Pacquiao get hurt. Yeah, it's long...
29:20
He should have stayed retired. I'm not sure what
29:24
compelled him to come out. I think he just gets
29:30
bored. Could be. Because he didn't get re -elected
29:35
to the Senate either, did he? I don't know. I
29:38
don't think so. Yeah. I don't know. That whole
29:42
division is just kind of trash right now. Well,
29:48
speaking of a division that's not trash, 140.
29:54
Yeah. Gary Antoine Russell versus Andy Hiraoka
29:58
in November. This could be fun, actually. I'm
30:02
excited for this. They're two very athletic,
30:05
and they have good pops. Two very athletic fighters.
30:10
It's gonna be fast. Yes. Like, I think there's
30:13
gonna be a lot of crazy combinations going on.
30:18
It's either gonna be really fast or really, really
30:20
slow. Because nobody wants to go first. Yeah,
30:24
I know, but no. We don't want that. We want them
30:31
to... We do not want that. Because this is the
30:37
younger... G -A -R, right? Yes. Okay. I get them
30:44
mixed up. Yeah, because they're all G -A -R.
30:47
Yeah. I like the older brother the most, but
30:52
the oldest brother the most. But this could be
30:55
a big stepping out for Hiroyuki. He's not very
31:00
old, is he? Do I have the right guy? He's in
31:02
his 20s, I believe. Yeah. If he can beat Gary
31:07
Russell, like... That's a big step up for him.
31:12
Yeah, this is a big step up. I think he's leaving
31:14
Japan for the first time. Yeah. Apparently he
31:24
fought in the bubble. Oh, interesting. And he
31:31
fought in Las Vegas in 2019, just scrolling through
31:34
his box rec. Yeah, I'm looking at it now too.
31:38
That bubble one, I think, was on the Inoue undercard.
31:44
When he fought... Who did he fight? Maloney?
31:48
During COVID? Jason Maloney. Yeah. But I... I
31:54
think it would be... I think it would be kind
31:57
of cool if Hiroyuki took off. He's not my style.
32:02
He's definitely not the typical Japanese... Like...
32:07
He's more slick than that. Yeah. That's what
32:13
I appreciate about him, is that he breaks the
32:15
mold. Yeah. I don't know where his dad's from,
32:20
because his middle name is Justice. So stupid.
32:25
He's African. Is he? Yes. Okay, that makes sense.
32:30
They like to give virtue names. Anyways, I think
32:40
that should be a fun fight. I'm actually looking
32:42
forward to that one. Yes, I am very excited for
32:45
this. I'm glad to see Andy's getting his shot
32:48
finally. Yeah, he's kind of been on the brink
32:52
of a shot for quite a while, hey? Yes. Oh, speaking
32:57
of being on the brink of a shot, Deontay Wilder
33:03
signed a fight in January. It's a different use
33:08
of brink of a shot. But we're going with it anyway.
33:13
Yeah. I don't know, man. I don't really want
33:17
to see Wilder anymore either. Yep, I don't want
33:20
to see him anymore either. And it's unfortunate
33:22
because I really liked him. Yeah, but it happens.
33:28
Do you know who he's fighting? Haven't seen,
33:31
just that he's set to fight. He's fighting. Yep.
33:38
There's rumors that the big fight Dave Allen
33:40
is promised is a Wilder fight. I don't think
33:46
that's true at all, but I've heard it in multiple
33:49
places. That would be interesting. That's kind
33:53
of the level that Wilder is at these days. Which
33:56
is unfortunate. Yeah. I expect this would be
34:03
a situation where the chat will say, dave allen
34:08
has more experience being washed of being a b
34:13
-level fighter yeah yeah i don't know how i didn't
34:20
really know about dave allen before because he's
34:22
funny as fuck yeah he is always he always does
34:25
silly stuff at weigh -ins yeah with his uh white
34:29
rhino shtick yeah Can we do a speaking of Brits,
34:41
I guess, leading into the next one? Yeah, speaking
34:44
of Brits, Callum Smith vs. David Murrell. It's
34:47
not set, but it's targeted for early 2026. Sometime
34:52
in Q1. Nice. So that's fun. I like Callum Smith.
34:58
Yeah, I like Callum Smith well enough. I like
35:01
David Murrell. I gotta look at who David Murrell
35:04
is, just so I can see his face. Yeah, I have
35:07
no opinion on David Murrell. I'm going to back
35:09
Callum Smith. I don't have too much. I don't
35:15
have a negative opinion of Callum Smith, but
35:17
I'm riding with David Murrell. That's fair. Yeah.
35:26
That's it for the news, though. Man, rest in
35:32
peace, Arturo Gatti Jr. Yeah, that one actually
35:36
made me really sad. He's only 17. 17? Yeah. Holy
35:41
shit. You still had your whole life ahead of
35:46
you, man. Yeah. Nah, that one's really sad. Yeah,
35:53
him being 17 is what has sparked the rumors that
35:56
it wasn't an accident. Because he inherits the
35:59
money next year. Or he would've. 18th birthday.
36:04
Yeah. Goodness gracious. It's crazy. But. Yeah.
36:15
I'm going to keep an eye on the story because
36:18
I want to see what develops out of that. I think
36:21
the story is probably finished. He committed
36:23
suicide in his house in Mexico. Damn. Yeah. It's
36:31
crazy. That was a little moment of silence for
36:42
him. Rest in peace, buddy. Let me put some notes

just a really good supplement. Of the three blends,
40:04
I've tried the Inner Peace blend, and I can tell

40:53
Speaking of silence, there's nothing to recap.
40:58
Fucking dire time. I had to dig down. To get
41:02
something to preview. And it's. Farewell to Brooklyn.
41:07
Brought to you by. Swift Promotions. Yeah I was.
41:15
Well I think we kind of talked about this a while
41:17
ago. I was shocked that Danny Garcia. Is doing
41:20
a farewell fight. I guess. I think he's doing
41:23
a farewell tour. That's crazy. You've been retired
41:28
for like. Four years. Yeah. I like Danny Garcia,
41:33
but it's weird to come out of retirement to retire.
41:42
Well, there are some interesting fights that
41:45
he has on here. He has Gabe Rosado. I do like
41:51
Gabe Rosado, but he should also be retired. Fighting
41:54
Vaughn Alexander. Who is Vaughn Alexander? I
42:00
don't think you'll remember him. I just remember
42:03
that one time he had these very bright salmon
42:08
pink shoes. Nice. Yeah, I don't recognize this
42:13
guy. He does not look like he's going to hurt
42:18
Rosado, which is good. No, he's not. I don't
42:23
think he's built for that. Chris Colbert is back.
42:31
He has fallen so far. Yes, he has. Back to the
42:36
eight round level. That's crazy. Quite the fall
42:42
from grace. And Joey DeWitchko. You probably
42:52
don't remember him. I just remembered his name
42:54
because it was funny to... Figure out how it
42:58
was pronounced. He had a problem with his...
43:01
He fought Richard Torres. Oh, he's the mouthpiece
43:06
guy. Yes, exactly. He had the mouthpiece problem.
43:09
He had one of those boil and bite type of pieces
43:15
of junk. Which is crazy work. For a professional?
43:19
Yeah. Don't do that. The guys had 45 fights.
43:30
And... Doesn't have a real mouthpiece? Yeah,
43:35
that's kind of strange. Crazy. Other than those
43:43
four... Let me see if I know who Dominic Crowder
43:49
is. I do not. Yeah, I don't recognize. It's just
43:59
the order of caring. Quincy Williams sounds like
44:04
a name I should know, but I don't recognize this
44:06
kid. I think Nahir Albright is supposed to be
44:11
on this card. I don't know. He fought Keyshawn
44:18
Davis. That was the one that got turned to a
44:21
no contest for the cannabis use. Then he fought
44:27
one of the other Davis brothers at the Norfolk
44:33
homecoming card where Keyshawn Davis blew weight
44:37
by like five pounds. Yeah, he's the guy that
44:40
got assaulted in the locker room, right? Yeah.
44:44
He doesn't have anything listed on BoxRec coming
44:48
up. That is fucking dire recaps and previews
44:54
though, Leo. Jesus Christ. There is a most valuable
44:59
promotions card on the same day. We want to talk
45:03
about that. There are two title fights on it.
45:08
Women's title fights. Lourdes Juarez versus Jessica
45:14
Plata for the WBC Light Flyweight title. It's
45:18
108. And Desley Robinson versus Logan Holler.
45:25
Oh, Lourdes Juarez, I recognize. Her pitcher.
45:32
IBF WBO middleweight titles will be on the line
45:36
for Robinson and Holler. Shredda Metcalf is fighting
45:45
on that one. I just recognize her name. Metcalf?
45:51
Yes. Metcalf's pretty good, actually. Or are
45:56
there two Metcalfs? Because Shredda doesn't...
45:58
That might be a different person. I think this
46:07
is the one. Is it? That's a bad picture if it
46:14
is, but that happens. Happens a lot on BoxRec.
46:18
It does, it does. Fought Mio Yoshida for the
46:23
IBF title. Won. Then fought Sharnika Johnson.
46:31
And lost. Yeah, okay, this is the same person.
46:35
Yes. That's a bad pitcher. Not ideal. Yeah, I
46:43
don't recognize very many people on this one.
46:48
Omar Juarez. is fighting omar rosario which makes
46:53
me laugh two omars yeah is omar that common of
46:59
a name yeah i think so oh okay i i've never i've
47:05
never met an omar two losses is there no pro
47:16
box this week either the pro box If there is,
47:22
I didn't track it. But I can check. Their next
47:33
card, I think, is on the 7th of November. That's
47:37
so long. And it's not on a fucking Wednesday.
47:45
I do miss the Wednesday night fights. Me too.
47:50
That November 7th card, I'm excited for though.
47:54
Yeah, it has some good fights. Flas is good.
47:57
Erdenbot. Dominic Valle. Akitsugi. Next by a
48:03
million cuts. Astrolabio is good too. That's
48:08
the fight I'm excited about. Akitsugi and Astrolabio.
48:13
That's a good one. That's it. Dire Straits we
48:21
are in. Good band though. Good what? Band. I
48:31
like Dire Straits. Oh. I was wondering what the
48:34
hell you meant. Alright. Dire Straits. That can
48:41
be our outro music this week. Yeah, if we wouldn't
48:45
get copyright strikes. Yeah, I know. I actually
48:51
have parting words this week. Let me do something
48:54
real quick. Pop quiz hotshot. What's tiny, fuzzy,
48:59

49:01
we eat? If you guessed bees, well, you nailed
49:04
it. Seriously, one out of every three bites on
49:07
your plate depends on bees. So there's a bit
49:10
of bad news here. These little heroes of our
49:12
gardens and dinners are struggling. Between habitat
49:16
loss, climate change, and pesticides, It's a
49:20
fucking bummer. Without them, our world would
49:22
look a lot different and it would be a lot less
49:24
delicious. But there is good news. Support for

51:00
that being said, parting words, what do you got?
51:04
Uh, Yankees lose. Oh, that's right. It's baseball.
51:10
I fucking love Vladdy. Did you see? He called
51:16
in SportsCenter, and it was Vladdy and Big Poppy.
51:21
And they just did that in front of Jeter for
51:24
literally five minutes. Yankees lose. Well, just
51:29
back and forth with their accents, which made
51:32
it even funnier to me. And it's just, the Yankees
51:38
lose. One more, one more, one more. Yankees lose.
51:46
Fucking great. I really hope the Jays win it
51:49
this year, actually. And I think they can. They're
51:52
a really good team this year. I have a very diehard
51:57
Yankees fan friend. I'll have to record myself
52:04
doing a Yankees lose. Yeah, you should look up
52:08
the clip so you can do the accent. I'm sure you'd
52:10
be much better at it than I am. Fucking great.
52:19
The Yankees fans crashing out and the Blue Jays
52:22
fans being insufferable has made my entire week.
52:26
I fucking love it. Yeah, yeah. There's some bad
52:33
accents in Canada coming out when people get
52:37
excited and a little bit of drunk. That makes
52:40
it more fun. Yeah. The Ontarians all sound so
52:45
fucking stupid. But anyways, go Jays. Let's see.
52:54
I'm going to throw one in here from Earl Nightingale.
52:57
All you need is the plan, the roadmap, and the
53:00
courage to press on to your destination. Nice.
53:05
So if your destination is the World Series, the
53:10
roadmap. The roadmap includes the Yankees losing.
53:16
The whole world loves when the Yankees lose,
53:19
let's be honest. Yeah. The Jays are getting Bo
53:24
Bichette back too, which is one of their big
53:27
players that was out for the first series. Oof,
53:31
good timing. Yeah. Hopefully he doesn't fuck
53:35
everything up somehow. Alright, that's it. And
53:41
that's it for this edition of Boxing Before Dark.
53:43
My batteries are getting low. And it is getting
53:47
dark. Let's get the fuck out of here.
