The B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. B -Side. The B
0:10

0:20
No, that'll work out fine. Boxing B -Sides. Holy
0:23
shit, we're back. Joined by the one and only
0:26
Saul and Joshua. Que paso, hermanos? What's up,
0:31
guys? Man, the very spirited debate on Hall of
0:39
Fame stuff. Do you want to hear what that was?
0:42
You're going to have to go to patreon .com slash
0:44
lbxmedianet and get yourself signed up. But we
0:50
do have some interesting news coming up. So we
0:54
got two people that are signed to fight in January.
0:57
Opponents to be determined. Number one, Bandy
1:01
Pacquiao. Possible opponents, we're looking at
1:06
Rawley rematching Barrios. Is that what we're
1:12
talking about? Rawley. I need to be Rawley. Fight
1:17
of the century shit. Have you guys seen Rawley
1:24
in his recent interviews, dude? That dude's devoted.
1:28
Devoted to the Lord. He's so fucking funny, dude.
1:32
Like, if only he wasn't the alleged serial rapist.
1:36
What? I keep forgetting that he's a... I keep
1:40
forgetting he's a rapist. You know that hiatus
1:43
he took between the tank fight and the Barroso
1:46
fight? Yes. He ran into legal trouble. For allegedly.
1:54
Allegedly being a serial rapist. Jesus Christ.
1:57
And allegedly. Intimidating everyone who accused
2:02
them. Into being quiet. Intimidating witnesses.
2:06
So that's what I mean. He's a funny guy. But
2:11
I just like. It's hard to look past that. That's
2:15
what I mean. I've never seen like. Is there like
2:18
a group of it. Like they were released from court.
2:22
I'm sure RJ could pull it. Yeah, RJ's got it
2:25
here. Oh, shit. Hold on. That's people of the
2:28
Philippines. I'm not thinking it. If he did it,
2:32
he did it. I'm just saying, like, I want to see
2:35
that just because I'm so interested in that,
2:36
you know? Yeah, fuck. Did they take that down
2:38
from, like, Bad Left Hook and all the news outlets?
2:43
The big, rolly propaganda. Big, rolly. Big, rolly
2:47
industrial complex. yeah no charges after no
2:51
charges for orlando romero orlando romero accused
2:55
of sexual assault diddy romero diddy romero oh
3:00
jesus i mean yeah i mean crazy yeah that was
3:12
like a whole the whole stuff i was pre -tank
3:16
fight apparently But the point is, it's going
3:22
to be Pacquiao -Rolley just because Barrios is
3:27
probably going to fight someone else. Yeah, remember
3:32
Ryan Garcia was calling him out. Yeah, and draw
3:36
against Ryan Garcia. Do we have more draws than
3:42
Daigo Higa? I need to see him just win. Not even
3:45
win. Let's draw the rest of his career and retire
3:48
champion. 29 -2 in 29. No one can win his title,
4:02
but he can't lose it either. It's great. Would
4:07
that be like hell for a professional fighter?
4:13
Well, for him, it's great. He keeps getting paid.
4:15
It'd be hell for anyone who fights him. Cursed
4:17
to drawing forever. The other name signed up
4:25
for January, Deontay Wilder. Yeah. He said he
4:32
was doing some teaser shit in an interview. Got
4:36
something really big planned. Can't really talk
4:39
about it right now, but we'll... When the time
4:44
comes, you'll be the first to hear about it type
4:46
of shit. Yeah. Honestly, with the stage of Wash
4:53
that Wilder's in, put him in with Dave Allen,
4:55
bro. Yeah, I was going to say Dave Allen or Makudov.
5:00
No, Dave Allen. Makudov's too dangerous at this
5:03
stage. To be fair, we saw how it went when Wilder
5:09
fought Audley Harrison. Who knows? It'd be pretty
5:14
impressive if he became the first guy to drop
5:16
Dave Allen. That'd be pretty crazy, huh? Considering
5:20
that Dave Allen has zero defense and has been
5:23
taking just pastings from every top guy. He'd
5:27
be the American Dave Allen at that point. Not
5:30
true. Wilder's already gotten stopped too many
5:33
times. Yeah, you're right. Dave Allen quits.
5:36
Dave Allen gets tired and quits. It's different.
5:39
Different breeds. I mean... It would be pretty
5:42
cool to see him fight someone like Andy Ruiz.
5:45
Is Ruiz still fighting? Does Ruiz still fight?
5:49
He had a hand injury when he fought Gerald Miller
5:52
in August. I don't know how, bro. That's got
5:57
to be like hitting a pillow. I mean, that would
6:00
be a pretty good fight, too, is him versus Gerald
6:01
Miller. Yeah. Wilder and Gerald Miller. I just
6:05
think, like, I want to see Wilder get at least,
6:07
like, one more crazy knockout. Yeah. Like, I
6:11
don't think Wilder's, like, in it for competitive
6:13
fights anymore. Like, you kind of just have to
6:15
treat him like a circus attraction and see if
6:18
he actually recovers. Jake Paul versus Deontay
6:21
Wilder? Yeah, like, he's kind of, like, again,
6:26
he took seven rounds to beat up a guy on, what
6:30
did he even fight? What promotion did he even
6:32
fight on? BLK Prime. BLK. Oh, my God. Yeah, so
6:36
he's laundering money now. Listen, man, you will
6:40
not be able to convince me that BLK Prime is
6:43
a real, real promotion. I don't think it is.
6:48
You can't. You just can't. You can't convince
6:51
me that anyone would pay Crawford $10 million
6:53
to fight David Evanesian. Is that who he was
6:58
fighting on there? Yep, yep. And they didn't
7:00
even give him... And his gloves exploded during
7:04
the fight. I'm shocked we didn't... I don't even
7:10
believe in Terrence Crawford Glovegate on that
7:12
one. I believe in, like, Everlast gloves being
7:14
shit. No, dude. Like, that's not Glovegate. That's
7:20
Crawford's sponsor being terrible. Or just bad
7:25
pick. Yeah. Oh, yeah, sometimes you get a bad
7:28
pick. Especially because they're MX. They're
7:30
MX2s, so... Those are good gloves. Supposed to
7:33
be good gloves. No, the MX1s are great. The MX2s
7:36
have inconsistent stitching. And hence, explosions.
7:43
Hence, the explosion, yeah. Yeah. Anyways. Ossie
7:49
Card, December 6th. They're bringing out all
7:52
the old favorites. Jaya Pataya, Justice Hooney,
7:56
Jason Maloney. There's a bunch of other names
7:59
on there that I don't recognize. I'm in the weeds
8:02
with this shit and I don't know who these people
8:03
are. They gotta bring out Julius Long for one
8:07
of these. He might be on the card and I just
8:10
don't know who he is. Julius Long is retired
8:14
now. He was 18 and 28. He was 7 -1 and did not
8:22
know how to fight at all so they'd always bring
8:24
out a prospect to beat the shit out of him. God.
8:29
and it was kind of hilarious to see a seven one
8:31
guy like flail around like he has no idea what
8:33
he's doing especially because he weighed like
8:38
300 350 pounds it's pretty funny kept me awake
8:46
when i watched joseph parker jr pha man i forgot
8:51
that happened yeah that's how you know we're
8:55
into that boxing we watched terrible fights for
8:58
Minimal amusement. At like 3 in the morning?
9:03
That was like 7 in the morning. Oh, yeah, for
9:06
you. That shit killed me. Besides the point,
9:12
hopefully... Wait, no, Jason Mulaney isn't the
9:17
one that had the misfortune of fighting Nakatani.
9:25
No, that was Andrew. How's Andrew? This one had
9:28
the misfortune of fighting Inoue. Yes. Yeah.
9:40
It's still unfortunate because you're basically
9:44
dying. Shaving years off of your life. Count
9:51
how many hundreds of thousands you made and take
9:53
that many years off your life. At least the Inoue
9:58
one was pretty clean. It wasn't that bad. Andrew
10:02
getting completely flatlined. After a hard, hard
10:06
fight. Yeah, after taking a beating, getting
10:09
flatlined by Junto, that was scary. But that's
10:19
the Aussie card. Yeah. We'll cover it, probably.
10:24
We'll talk about it when it happens. I mean,
10:27
Justice Hooney, we'll talk about him in a little
10:31
bit, but he had a good fight with Fabio Wardley.
10:36
He could use the old Amir Khan track and say,
10:40
never been outboxed. Man, I was so excited to
10:47
see Wardley getting picked apart and losing.
10:51
I read that my stream was a little behind. My
10:55
legal stream on DAZN .com slash Fabio Wardley
10:58
was lagging behind a little bit. And I just see
11:03
the chat go like, fuck. And I'm like, what is
11:08
it? And it sounds like, no. And then it catches
11:12
up and I was like, oh, fuck's sake, man. I still
11:15
got to see Fabio Wardley on my fucking screen.
11:20
Tozone .com slash Fabio Wardley. Fabio Wardley
11:26
to me is like a Twilight Zone Dave Allen where
11:28
like if Dave Allen was athletic at all. Lost
11:33
20 pounds? If he was athletic at all. Tried.
11:37
You heard me. If he was athletic. No, if he was
11:40
athletic at all. and, like, had stamina and power
11:42
and anything, like, any athletic aspect to his
11:46
game, that's Fabio Wardley. You think David Allen
11:50
is that... That's the analog? Like, athletic?
11:56
No, because, like, he just, like, Fabio Wardley
11:58
just gets, like, Homer Simpson's opponents, low
12:01
-key. High -key? What are you talking about?
12:04
High -key. Like, he just, like, he gets the shit
12:07
smacked out of him. And then he just, like, with
12:10
these bursts of, like, energy, he just loves
12:15
his opponent. Happens every damn time. It's just,
12:19
like, again, Eric Molina had him wobbled. Had
12:24
Fabio Wardley? Yeah, if you watch, it's hilarious.
12:28
Eric Molina, like, wobbles him. And then Fabio
12:30
Wardley, like, doesn't even register being wobbled
12:33
and just, like. Explodes at him again and knocks
12:37
him out. Eric Molina was the school teacher,
12:42
wasn't he? I'm pretty sure. I would not want
12:47
Eric Molina to teach my kids. I think Dishy said
12:53
something on Discord about how Alfred Molina
12:57
would have provided more resistance. For the
13:01
Broadway actor. You mean Otto Octavius? Yes,
13:07
that too. I preferred him in... How is it called?
13:11
Fiddler on the Roof. Fiddler on the Roof. That's
13:14
the one. He was good in that. Bobby on the Roof.
13:20
Bobby on the Roof. I don't know why I said that.
13:24
Still, it's a good one. All right. Besides the
13:28
point, Justice Hooney never been outboxed. Moving
13:33
to some recaps. We've got two good cards. Which
13:36
one do we want to do first? See, I have a lot
13:41
more to say about boots than I do about my personal
13:45
inspiration, David, the Doncaster De La Hoya
13:49
Allen. The Doncaster De La Hoya. Oh, my God.
13:55
What other nicknames does he have? He's got the
13:58
White Rhino. I think that's kind of the joke
14:06
is that he wears like a banana hammock when he
14:09
goes to weigh -ins. Yeah. It's funny. Doncaster
14:18
dummy. Yeah, lots of stuff. Meat enjoyer. At
14:25
this point, yeah. So, we're going first. Out
14:30
of Sheffield, Josh Padley versus Reese Belotti.
14:37
That's the only one I really wanted to talk about.
14:40
Yeah, see, somehow he's better at being an electrician
14:44
than boxing, and I still would not want him to
14:47
fix my power. He should be smart and start his
14:53
own electrical company. Yeah, just start. He's
14:57
made for middle management. That's what Joe Smith
15:02
Jr. did. Just took his boxing winnings and moved
15:06
them into his own company. You know what? He
15:11
owns New Jersey. He owns Long Island Landscaping
15:14
now. Yeah, he does. That's a good gig. He runs
15:17
Long Island Landscaping. He probably enjoys it
15:20
too. He still brings his belts to the job site
15:24
too. It's pretty funny. Just in case anybody
15:27
wants pictures. That's so cool, man. I would
15:31
take a picture. To be fair, if I won a world
15:33
title, you would have to peel that off me. I'd
15:37
have that shit in the shower. The shower is crazy.
15:40
I'd be showering with that thing. Yeah, I would
15:43
take it with me everywhere. I respect it, bro.
15:46
Everyone would be like, oh, what's that? Yeah,
15:47
what's your name? Former WBC world champion.
15:53
Blank. Like, every time I'd introduce myself
15:58
like that. The Doncaster De La Hoya. How have
16:01
you never heard of me? Exactly, dude. Like, if
16:06
you won a world title. And you got, like, one
16:09
of the nice ones, like, with actual gold on it
16:11
and everything. And you had to go wear construction.
16:14
Would you not wear it to wear construction? Like,
16:16
you'd wear it everywhere. Yeah. Montana Love,
16:22
if you remember that name, he won a regional
16:25
belt. And he took that shit with him everywhere.
16:30
Honestly, it was a WBA one, so those things look
16:34
nice. I would also. I, too, would do that. It
16:37
was like the North America Continental something
16:40
or other. Listen, if it was any belt other than
16:43
the English one, I'd take it with me. The English
16:48
belt is less valuable than a belt from the Wiggles.
16:53
That's that one that was like a brown leather
16:56
strap that had just small little shits on it.
17:02
Yeah, like they just put a couple tin dinner
17:04
plates from a soup kitchen on it. Here, I can
17:11
buy one off eBay. 125 Great Britain pounds. For
17:20
a British title? Yeah. Look at this thing. I
17:25
posted the chat. It's so ugly. Yeah, that thing
17:29
is fucking hideous. Like, this is not a belt
17:32
I would be proud of to wear. Like, let me find
17:36
a WBA regional belt. I think he had an IBF North
17:41
Americas. Yeah, those are still pretty cool.
17:45
Like, here. I found a WBA Asia East champion
17:48
belt. And compare it with the English one. At
17:52
least it looks fire. I would take the WBA one
17:55
easily. Yeah, like, I'm wearing that shit to
17:58
the shower once again. Like, they look sick.
18:01
So, like, why does the English one look like
18:03
such a piece of shit? The prestige of the lineage
18:10
and not the appearance of the belt. I was going
18:14
to say, the British Empire doesn't even exist
18:17
anymore. You can't even get your colonized peoples
18:22
to say it looks good at gunpoint. There's no
18:25
one to say it looks good anymore. But there's
18:31
no one to tell you, yes, sir, you're such a great
18:33
champion of England. maybe one won't be lucky
18:39
yeah like nah i'm sure this thing banged in the
18:44
60s before like belts looked good but that one
18:51
shit the wbc gave uh tyson fury when he beat
18:54
who was it billion oh yeah Yeah, the UK belt
19:00
or whatever. That looked better, though. That
19:02
looked fucking good. And, like, I'm not British
19:05
by any stretch, but that looked pretty good.
19:10
When Floyd Mayweather fought fucking McGregor.
19:14
The money belt? The money belt. It was, like,
19:17
gator skin. Gator skin and diamond bedazzling.
19:20
I found a picture. This is... Okay, I would carry
19:25
this just because of the value. I wouldn't carry
19:28
it because of the value. Oh, man. No, I'd carry
19:32
it, to be fair, if I were that rich. Oh, yeah.
19:35
If I were that rich. Shinada just said to my
19:42
picture of the British one, this belt sucks.
19:45
Because it fucking does. She's speaking facts.
19:48
She has no context. This belt sucks. Looks like
19:53
something I made. You probably make something
19:56
better. Yeah, with no context, she already knows
19:59
what we're talking about. With no context, you
20:00
already know. This belt fucking sucks. So I can't
20:05
even blame these people. Anyways, Josh Padley,
20:09
win any title but the English one and then start
20:13
your own electrician's outfit. David Allen drops
20:19
the ball versus Arslanbek Makhmadov. No, he was
20:23
in a round shape. He was the ball, and he didn't
20:28
get dropped. You put it that way. That's a silver
20:33
lining if I've heard one. I felt like David Allen
20:36
was doing a lot better than the commentary was
20:39
saying. Like, the commentary were just straight
20:42
doomers constantly saying, oh, Makhmudov is really,
20:46
really piecing him up, and David Allen isn't
20:49
doing shit. I don't know. I wasn't seeing the
20:54
same thing. Makhmadov was made of paper. I think
20:59
that if David Allen, like what Josh said earlier,
21:02
had athleticism, I think he probably would have
21:06
beaten Makhmadov. If he was in shape ever, he
21:13
probably stops him. If he cared. Not even if
21:18
he cared. At this point, I think he's just stuck
21:20
like that. Like with the jelly belly? Like, my
21:25
cope, if I put on my cope hat, because David
21:28
Allen is an inspiration to every fat, retarded
21:32
keyboard warrior on the planet for getting off
21:35
his couch and fighting world -ranked opponents.
21:39
If I put on my cope hat, Makhmudov held way too
21:42
much and should have been DQ'd. Yeah, that was
21:47
a... Egregious. That was kind of a bummy fight,
21:50
yeah. That was pretty fucking egregious. If I
21:52
put on my reasonable hat, why did Dave keep walking
21:55
into the clinches? He could have just stood still
21:57
and, like, Makhlodov would have missed his clinch
21:59
horribly and you could have punched him. Like,
22:04
again, if Dave Allen... Dave Allen would be a
22:07
great boxer if he could box, had IQ, good coaching,
22:10
athleticism, footwork, whatever. Time to go to
22:15
Ronnie Shields. Time to go to Victor Conte, bro.
22:20
First, you gotta fix the athleticism. That snack
22:23
shit. Get him on that Damon Haney snack shit.
22:28
Snack pack. I just can't. I always get excited
22:34
for Dave Allen fights because they're like a
22:37
guaranteed bum fight. You know? Like, it's the
22:41
same excitement you get from clicking on, like,
22:43
it's the same juvenile excitement you got before
22:45
you watched boxing clicking on, like, a Street
22:47
Beeps video. Worldstar. Yeah, like, that's, like,
22:52
that, like, it's that type of, like, juvenile
22:54
excitement. Like, you know it's gonna be bad
22:56
boxing, but also there's just some allure about
22:59
two fat dudes kicking the shit out of each other.
23:03
It's never boring. Caveman and Fat Dude. It's
23:09
never boring. When it's boring, it's at least
23:13
kind of funny. But that's my take on the fat
23:18
British man losing to the slightly less fat Neanderthal.
23:25
Honestly, you should give Mac Moodle to Richard
23:27
Torres now. No, I said give Mac Moodle to AJ.
23:31
Oh. AJ does need a comeback. I was going to say,
23:36
give Makludov AJ. It'd be so funny to see how
23:39
Eddie Hearn tries to sell it as, oh, he beat
23:41
Dave Allen. So he's clearly a world beater. And
23:45
then AJ, like, probably jabs him and he, like,
23:50
disintegrates. Honestly, I'd rather see Dave
23:53
Allen versus AJ. I don't think AJ could knock
23:59
down Dave Allen. The bet isn't. Does Dave Allen
24:03
win? The betting line is, does AJ knockdown?
24:07
How many knockdowns, if any? Honestly, I mean,
24:12
Dave Allen might have a chance of knocking out
24:16
fucking AJ, dude. If he homers Simpson's AJ,
24:20
homers Simpson's AJ, homers Simpson's AJ in the
24:23
10th round, I might fall out of my chair. That
24:27
would be fucking funny, dude. It's so fucking
24:30
funny. See, but now you're getting into the spirit
24:34
of Dave Allen. You don't actually care about
24:36
the boxing. It's a very juvenile pleasure you
24:40
get out of Dave Allen. He's a 33 -year -old guy
24:46
who used to pee in jugs and blow all of his fights.
24:49
He would show up to a fight. He would wake up,
24:55
pee in one of the jugs under his bed. Go blow
24:58
his entire purse on the horses and then show
25:01
up to fight like Luis Ortiz. Without training.
25:09
He hasn't trained, by the way. His diet has been
25:11
entirely like Hot Pockets and fish and chips.
25:16
The Dillian White fight. The Dillian White fight.
25:20
His coach had to drag him out of a pub to go
25:22
get ready for his fight. It's a juvenile pleasure
25:25
that you get from David Allen, but I don't think
25:27
any other boxer is that much of a disgrace while
25:31
not being outright hateable. They take themselves
25:36
seriously. They take themselves seriously, and
25:42
even the ones who are disgraces are usually evil.
25:45
They're criminals. You can't root for them. This
25:48
is just some guy. He's a disgrace. He's just
25:55
some guy. Yeah. Like he's, he's absolutely, is
25:59
he a disgrace to the sport? Yes. Like I've never
26:05
seen a less professional boxer. Dave Allen versus
26:12
Jake Paul. Jake Paul probably beats him by UD.
26:18
Not even probably. Jake Paul does beat him by
26:21
unanimous decision. You know what? Jake Paul
26:25
fights Dave Allen and beats him and then gets
26:26
the AJ fight. Like I'm saying here, it's comical.
26:34
This guy's career is so fucking funny. He's just
26:36
some guy who gets a knockout against a real...
26:42
Like the Johnny Fisher duology. It's so funny.
26:49
Because of how serious Johnny Fisher takes himself
26:52
as a real boxer. And how this fat dude who pees
26:57
in jugs and somehow has a kid shows up. Beats
27:02
the fuck out of him. Kind of like watching Butterbean,
27:05
you know? The things that Butterbean trained.
27:12
Butterbean is more serious than this guy. Is
27:17
that the heavyweight division for you? Oh, my
27:19
God. That's what I mean. It's just, it's a juvenile
27:22
pleasure to watch David Allen day in, day out.
27:25
I hope he never retires low -key. The only Dave
27:30
Allen fight I would watch, not Dave Allen, but
27:32
the only Lawrence Coley fight I would watch would
27:34
be if he fought Dave Allen. No, you don't want
27:36
to watch that. He'd just, like, they'd be so
27:37
bad. This would be the worst fight ever conceived.
27:41
But you never know. It's that juvenile, like,
27:43
love. David Allen. He might shit him. He might.
27:47
He might shit him. He might also quit halfway
27:50
through the fourth round out of, like, ah, fuck,
27:52
I didn't train for this. I'm tired. I might just
27:57
be a fan of Dave Allen now. I'm not gonna lie.
27:59
Yeah, I think you've converted me. I'm glad.
28:02
I'm glad I've been able to, like, I'm glad, like,
28:05
you didn't get it. Nobody got it because, like,
28:07
everyone on the server who used to watch Dave
28:09
Allen fights, like, basically quit watching boxing.
28:13
I need to sell the newest generation of why I
28:16
like this is the only British fighter I ever
28:19
like and it's because he's like he's actually
28:22
a disgrace to the sport in every sense and that's
28:26
why we love him he's probably the worst boxer
28:29
to have ever lived in terms of people who actually
28:32
do their fucking jobs like imagine a janitor
28:37
who smears shit on the walls Like, that is Dave
28:42
Allen from boxing. But he's funny, and I like
28:47
him. And that's all I care. Imagine the janitor.
28:56
You can't even argue. Like, I'm so right. Oh,
29:06
my God. You're going to get an article about
29:10
this now because I've been kicking back the Crawford
29:12
one in order to write more articles. Anything
29:19
more for David Allen versus Makuro? Never retire.
29:24
I hope he wastes all his money on the horses
29:26
on his back against, like, Usyk. When Usyk runs
29:31
out of money. Usyk's on his way out the door.
29:35
I hope he's back against the next generation
29:38
of top prospects at heavyweight. Somehow. As
29:44
for Makhmudov, I hope he rematches Guido and
29:46
loses even worse. It'd be really funny. I like
29:49
Guido. Reminds me. On the undercard of Enes Lima.
29:57
Oh, right. There was an undercard to that. Yeah,
30:02
Guido Vianello. Stops him in five. Stops Alexis
30:08
Barrier. Or Alexi, I guess I should say. Alexi
30:14
Barrier. He's a Quebec fighter. Not a Quebec
30:24
fighter I particularly care about. He was always
30:28
going to die. Really? It was kind of funny seeing
30:35
guys have hope in Barriere, and I'm like, this
30:38
is a Canadian heavyweight, not named Lennox Lewis.
30:42
Are you serious? Yeah, there's not a whole lot
30:44
to be hoping for here. Like, he beat up a bunch
30:48
of, like, fat Mexicans in Quebec City. No, not
30:52
even. Lacklemy was his last fight against a fat
30:54
Mexican. The Lacklemy Casino. The Hilton in Lacklemy
31:01
is actually a pretty nice casino. I will say,
31:04
having seen it. But prestigious? It is not. It
31:10
is a place where first -year university students
31:12
go and gamble their father's money. I mean, how
31:19
do you guys feel about the Richard Torres win
31:20
over Pianello after this win over Perrier? Do
31:27
you think it ages well? Do you feel the same?
31:30
i feel like guido is like a non -entity in terms
31:32
of like he like he's the perfect like gatekeeper
31:37
type but like heavyweight is so heavyweight is
31:41
so thin though that like he could talk himself
31:47
into an aj fight yeah like vianello could totally
31:50
like just get a random fight against the top
31:53
guy and equally like could stay at this level
31:56
forever And, like, beating him doesn't prove
32:00
you belong at the top level. But losing to him
32:04
for sure means you're out. Yeah. Like, kind of
32:10
crazy seeing what he's up to. I was thinking
32:16
about it, too. Regarding Rich Torres and Guido
32:20
Vanillo. I mean, because Guido's put a match
32:23
from now, right? He's... Probably. I think he
32:26
is a matchroom fighter. Man, I just need Torres
32:28
to step up and lose already. I think, honestly,
32:33
Torres should break away from the top -ranked...
32:36
Yeah, no shit. Honestly, he should go matchroom.
32:41
If Torres wants a long -term career that isn't
32:46
him getting found out quickly, he needs to stay
32:49
in that top -ranked protection program real bad.
32:52
Yeah. Because I watched him at the Olympics get
32:55
completely, like, turned the paste by Jalilov.
33:00
Yeah. Like... Like, knocked out. It's not like
33:03
where he lost a decision, he got knocked out.
33:05
No, he got turned the paste in the Olympic finals.
33:08
Yeah. And I was like, no one can tell me. I didn't
33:12
watch that. I had nothing to do. I was a high
33:15
schooler with no friends. I was a 12th grader
33:17
with no friends during COVID. So, I was watching
33:19
that shit. Well, it wasn't like it was a bad
33:23
fight, you know? No, but he just was not competitive
33:26
in this. Like, he got turned the pace by Jalilov,
33:29
which, like, he hasn't improved since the amateurs,
33:32
so logic follows that any top guy turns him in
33:36
the pace reasonably as well. Especially because
33:39
he's 26. He's not like a young prospect who will
33:43
bounce back 20 times like Dubois did. We'll see
33:48
what happens. He's going to be like 28 when he
33:50
gets his actual chance, and then we'll see. For
33:55
sure, though, if he wants a little more name
33:58
recognition, he should go to Matchroom because
34:00
they have more. Yeah, go fight Dave Allen, bro.
34:05
I need to see more Dave Allen. I have Torres
34:09
winning. I have Torres probably stopping him,
34:11
but give me more Dave Allen. Smear more shit
34:17
on the walls, Mr. Janitor. Exactly. If you really
34:22
hate Torres, you match him up with Fabio Wardley
34:25
immediately. You watch as Torres wins 11 rounds
34:29
and then gets sent into the Shadow Realm with
34:31
a dented skull. If you really hate Richard Torres,
34:39
you want him to fight Fabio Wardley. Point blank,
34:45
period. Speaking of Jalolov, he did fight on
34:50
the 6th. He didn't look great. Vitaly Kudakov
34:55
was the opponent. He did not look... He didn't
34:59
look great against some guy. Rando Russian. Yeah,
35:05
7 and 4 heavyweight with 3 knockouts from, like,
35:08
Chechnya. Or Dagestan, or wherever. Jalalov,
35:16
see, the reason why I choose to make fun of Torres
35:20
for losing to Jalalov that badly in amateur boxing
35:24
instead of rating Jalalov is because Jalalov
35:29
very much has the one pace. He throws ones and
35:32
twos at a very pedestrian pace and has no ambition
35:36
to actually move up in the professionals or even
35:39
to really be there when he fights. He kind of,
35:43
he throws ones and twos and he doesn't really
35:45
have much of an idea of what to do when they
35:47
don't happen. And don't land. He has one gear.
35:53
He has no, like, like he already tested defense
35:58
because he's so big and his jab keeps people
36:01
away. His footwork, he's always coming forward
36:04
so it doesn't really matter. Defense, like. he
36:08
throws ones and twos in the same gear and they
36:10
either knock the guy out or he looks like and
36:13
since his since his best opponent has been like
36:21
camille sokolovsky and curtis harper yeah he's
36:25
gonna look better than he is well you know who
36:31
didn't who doesn't look like geron ennis boots
36:36
Man, I gotta eat my crow here. I really thought
36:39
Lima was gonna give him a better fight than that.
36:42
I really did. Liam could have been Virgil and
36:49
I still would have been like, yup, that's how
36:53
it went with Boots. It feels great to actually
36:58
be right on a guy and for them not to be a fucking
37:01
bust when you're high on a guy from the very
37:03
start. It feels great. I will say that Boots,
37:09
that performance, I knew he was going to get
37:11
at Lima. I mean, we just didn't know when. Yeah.
37:17
But the thing is that at the same time, first
37:22
round knockout and the way he did it, oh my God,
37:25
it was beautiful. I'm not going to say Lima is
37:31
all that and hype him up because Lima is Lima.
37:35
Yeah. But I will say that for a lot of people
37:38
that were going, like, the boots is potential,
37:40
man. Like, no, he's, like... Like, I'm glad he
37:46
had a spot where his highlight can actually circulate
37:50
online with his name on it so people know who
37:53
he is. Because everyone's... Like, if you look
37:55
at boxing highlight compilations, he's been on
37:58
them in his showbox days. Yeah. It's just...
38:03
His name is never on them. He finally has highlights
38:06
with his name on them, and he's there. He's ready.
38:10
I think the Virgil fight, he's going to smoke
38:14
Virgil and everything, but I'm glad he's getting
38:17
these names. He's no longer a potential man.
38:22
I will say for the Lima fight, I think everybody
38:27
besides Virgil at 154, I don't see them doing
38:30
the same way that they did Lima. I think Boots,
38:34
the way that Boots did it too was just that uppercut
38:38
was nasty. No, but it's just like the... How
38:41
he tricked, how he made Lima fall into his trap.
38:45
You know? Again, I've said, I've said, I've said
38:48
like the part, probably the most dangerous part
38:49
about Boots is that like the way he steps up
38:53
his game to how he wants to try, which means
38:55
we have, we still haven't seen like an upper
38:57
ceiling for Boots. I don't think we have. That's
39:01
going to come when we... We have yet to see his
39:04
upper ceiling. But probably the most dangerous
39:07
part because, like, people will poke at how he
39:12
has somewhat of a leaky defense, but, I mean,
39:14
nobody's been a KO threat to him, for the record,
39:17
for him to actually care about defense. He has
39:21
a chin. He has a hell of a chin. I don't know
39:25
if it's really been tested yet too much. If you
39:28
look at the Via fight, the shots he knocks Via
39:30
out with, Via catches them right clean at the
39:33
same time. Is Roman Via a hard puncher though?
39:38
Yes. Extremely hard puncher. He's like a club
39:43
level fighter with world level power. Yeah, like
39:46
straight up. The only reason he... I don't know
39:50
too much about Romelu Villa, though. That's what
39:52
I'm saying. What's the best guy he knocked out?
39:55
What's the best guy he knocked out? If it wasn't
39:58
for the ref, he basically broke Rashidi Ellis'
40:00
face in the last round. He was getting owned
40:04
for the entire fight. And then he knocked Rashidi
40:06
Ellis down three or four times. Shit. Okay. Yeah.
40:12
And broke his face. Yeah, that's what I mean.
40:16
Like, he is the most club -level guy you'll ever
40:18
see. But, like, getting caught clean by Roman
40:23
Villa is no joke. Yeah, you know what? Same with
40:31
Avanisian. Avanisian is also kind of like a club
40:34
-level guy with good, solid power. And, like,
40:41
Ennis just takes the shot. He doesn't even try
40:46
and defend it. He sees it, takes it. That's it.
40:50
So I think that's probably the most threatening
40:52
part of it, where, like, let's say Virgil does
40:55
get to him with some offense. Virgil will be
40:58
staring down the barrel of a loaded gun. I don't
41:01
know. With boots. I mean, I still think that
41:04
Virgil is going to give him a good fight. I still
41:06
think, as biased as I am in this, I still think
41:10
that Virgil has a chance of winning. I have a
41:14
50 -50 now. After that fight, I have a 50 -50.
41:16
I just think Virgil needs to have intangibles
41:20
he hasn't shown. I don't mean intangibles like
41:23
having a dog or anything. He has a dog. I'm saying
41:26
Virgil needs God -level chin and recovery that
41:30
we haven't seen from him yet. I will say that
41:33
from the Bojack fight, he got it twice. Again,
41:37
Bojack is not the greatest. at least from what
41:42
i've seen now yeah he doesn't have um he has
41:46
power but he's not like world and russian power
41:50
yeah exactly it's not and it's not it's not power
41:52
that like they both check will catch you with
41:55
the power and it's power but it's the thing with
41:57
boots is that like it's fast you don't see it
42:00
speed yeah like there's a he he's he's obviously
42:04
fearful but like just the way he he crafts his
42:08
counters like you don't see it either So, and
42:12
that's like, again, Virgil will need a crazy
42:15
chin or crazy awareness to see, like, to be able
42:20
to stare down the barrel of that loaded gun and
42:23
get offense off. I will say that Virgil, he has
42:27
a really underrated defense. He has a pretty
42:30
sophisticated high guard. When he does use it,
42:33
when he does use it, in the match -em -up fight,
42:35
he set up some traps. Oh, for sure. It was really
42:40
nice to see. Again, that's why I mentioned Boots.
42:44
I think Boots wins if they trade, though. I don't
42:49
know. Because at the same time, yes, Boots knocked
42:52
out Lima, but I mean, Virgil has beaten the better
42:59
opponents at 1 -3 -4. For the barometer of if
43:02
they trade shots, who wins, Virgil was... He
43:07
had to box against Boachuk. Boots just blew up
43:13
Villa while taking overhand rights straight to
43:19
the chin and not even wobbling. I mean, at the
43:24
same time, can you handle a shot from Virgil?
43:27
Yeah, probably. Again, Roman Villa is like, if
43:33
you had a character creator... You basically
43:35
put, like, on a scale of 1 to 10, you put a 1
43:37
in everything and stick an 11 in power. My thing
43:41
is, if he really had an 11 in power, why didn't
43:44
he knock out Boots? You know? I feel like if
43:46
he had, like, crazy power... That's Boots' chin,
43:48
though. That's what I say about Boots' awareness
43:50
and his chin. He had the awareness to see it
43:53
coming and the chin to soak it. I would say maybe...
43:57
I don't know. I would say that Boots' chin hasn't
44:01
been tested yet just because... I mean, again...
44:04
It's a guy that, if he really did have a lot
44:06
of power, he would have knocked out Boots. Boots
44:08
would have respected his power. I know. I feel
44:12
like we'll see when the fight happens, if Boots
44:14
really respects Virgil or not. Yeah. Because
44:17
I still, like, again, we've seen Virgil's upper
44:19
ceiling tested. I still don't think we've seen
44:24
all of Boots. Yeah. No, you know what? And that's...
44:28
Like, he's still potential man, but, like, it's
44:32
potential man in that, like, you got to see him
44:34
fight someone now. There's no more. I agree and
44:39
I disagree with you to an extent. I feel like
44:41
we know how Virgil gets when he's taken to his
44:44
limit. But I feel like he still has a ceiling
44:48
he hasn't reached yet regarding his skill. Yeah.
44:50
You know? If that makes any sense. Because mostly
44:55
he's relied on being able to get guys out, right?
44:58
Yeah. Yeah. Man, I'm still... I'm still chowing
45:02
down on my fucking crow over here. I was talking
45:06
a lot of shit about Luisma Lima. I'm just, like,
45:10
I'm happy we see it, though. The obvious, obvious
45:13
talent. Yes. Present. Yeah. Undeniable proof.
45:19
Yeah, like, it's not just, like, oh, but... Like,
45:22
the thing is that you should have, like... It's
45:25
the stage, I guess. The fact that he has a highlight.
45:28
I don't know. You should have been sold on Ennis,
45:34
realistically, when he beat the fuck out of Lipinets.
45:37
The Lipinets fight is when you should have been
45:40
sold. I think Lipinets is a better opponent than
45:43
Romain Villa. Oh, I know. Absolutely. I'm just
45:48
saying the Villa fight in regards to Ennis' chin.
45:52
Because, again, You don't trade with Via. Via's
45:56
fight right before boots was a perfect lesson
45:59
in not trading with Via. Again, Rashidi Ellis
46:07
had his face fucking broken by Via. This guy's
46:12
a horrible boxer. Straight up. Club level fighter.
46:16
As Leo said, club level fighter with this power
46:19
is insane. World level. And even then, I'm not
46:23
going to glaze Karen at Chukazadian at all because
46:27
I've already gone on a couple tangents on this
46:30
podcast before about how he's an incredibly negative
46:32
fighter. But there's also a non -zero chance
46:36
that he can probably end up in the mix in a dead
46:40
welterweight division. Chukazian was fighting.
46:45
He fought the same day as Ennis. And he looked
46:49
good. He looked good. Yeah. He got a stoppage,
46:54
if I'm not mistaken. It says UD. What was that?
46:58
No, no, UD. That was earlier. Yeah, he got a
47:00
stoppage. I saw it on Twitter. Yeah, that's right.
47:03
So those wins are aging nicely. They'll age.
47:07
And I think there's going to be a guy who they
47:12
think boots isn't all that and Chukadzadian's
47:17
easy pickings at some point if he floats around
47:20
the rankings. At 147. There's not a whole lot
47:26
going on there. No, so let's say Norman beats
47:29
Haney, thinks he's top shit. It's very realistic
47:33
that we see Chuka Zadian in there, and Chuka
47:36
Zadian gives him a much harder time. The one
47:42
thing I will say about boots is, and Virgil,
47:45
by the way, going back to that a little bit,
47:47
Virgil has the better trainer, absolutely. You
47:52
think he's better than Bozy? Bozy's a solid trainer,
47:54
though. I am not sold on Bozy the same way I'm
47:58
not sold on, like, Virgil Hunter. Because, again,
48:01
both of these guys just happen to be given the
48:04
best talent ever to exist. It's really tough
48:07
to fumble it. Because it's not like Wilder, where,
48:10
like, Wilder was crude material with potential.
48:13
Guys like Andre Ward and Boots are, like, you
48:16
were just given a complete product. Well, Virgil
48:20
Hunter had other guys like Amir Khan and Abner
48:24
Maris at the tail end of his career. Yeah, but
48:25
not from the start. Oh, from the start. Okay.
48:28
Like I'm saying, he got given them and he didn't
48:32
really do much with them. Made them more negative
48:36
fighters? In Khan's case, yes. Maris, no. For
48:42
Khan, that was a necessity. Yeah, like for Khan,
48:44
he kind of got Khan to embrace his vulnerabilities,
48:47
which is... There's too many of them already.
48:51
But that's what I mean. The verdict is out on
48:53
these trainers because you haven't seen them
48:56
work except for with their masterwork that was
48:59
given to them. Bozy has Stephen Fulton. Yeah.
49:04
That's also a complete product being put into
49:07
your... Into your hands. Yeah. Like Ennis. Say
49:12
what you will. Oh, it's Ennis' kid. Like Ennis?
49:15
If you fucked up with a guy of Ennis' caliber,
49:20
what are you doing? Someone like Eddie Reynoso
49:23
would do that shit. I generally think Eddie Reynoso
49:28
is a negative trainer. Hey, Reynoso did the best
49:31
he could with Canelo. But again, Canelo walked
49:33
into his door, into his gym as a supremely good
49:40
raw talent. And he was even trained by Eddie
49:45
at the beginning. Yeah, it was Chepo. That's
49:48
what I mean. I'm not sold on Bozy until we see
49:53
Boots get into a fight. He can't just blow the
49:57
guy out. He seems like a good trainer. Oh, he's
50:03
a good trainer. I'm not saying he's a bad trainer.
50:05
I'm just saying you don't... He's definitely
50:11
weaker than Robert Garcia. Yeah. He's not Robert.
50:14
There you go, Garcia. Robert, like, the thing,
50:18
like, the way I look at Robert Garcia, like,
50:20
the best way to, like, Robert Garcia's best product,
50:23
other than Bam, is that, like, look at Marcos
50:30
Maidana before and after he came to Garcia. Oh,
50:35
yeah. You took a guy who was basic, again, club
50:38
fighter with enormous power. with bad nutrition
50:42
and everything. Just generally a good fighter,
50:47
but not a working world -level one. You made
50:54
him be able to share the ring 24 rounds of Mayweather.
51:00
Somewhat competently. That's what you want to
51:05
see from a trainer, getting these fighters in
51:07
the stable, really. At least tactically, right?
51:12
I think AJ was unresponsive to Garcia rather
51:17
than Garcia being a bad fit. How many trainers
51:21
has AJ gone through? Exactly. AJ only responds
51:26
to his buddies instead of... Garcia was a good
51:29
fit. That was probably the best AJ ever looked
51:31
that second fight with Usyk. But it's Usyk. What
51:40
does Enes do next? The champions right now are
51:45
Mertes Aliev with the IBF, Zayas with WBO, Fundora
51:49
has WBC, and Abbas Barou with the WBA. I'm going
51:56
to tell you this right now, dude. I'm going to
51:58
tell you this right now. There's no chance he's
52:00
getting Zayas. There's no chance he's getting
52:02
Fundora. The rumor... He might get Murazailov,
52:06
but Baru is the most likely option. The rumor
52:09
right now is that he's going... Turkey's going
52:14
to put together the... He's giving Boots a quick
52:18
turnaround and having him fighting Baru. For
52:24
the full title? In December or January on a ring
52:30
card. Okay. and in a ring card that's the rumor
52:37
right now and then that's the setup um virgil
52:42
and uh ennis if virgil makes it past lubin i'm
52:47
gonna say this that i feel like i i can't understand
52:51
it but that's the kind of dangerous i think well
52:55
i like the thing is that it all hinges it all
52:59
hinges on uh lubin and virgil because there's
53:02
no risk for ennis Not against Baru. With Baru,
53:05
no. That's the thing. You're just giving Ennis
53:09
a belt, so that way the fight means something
53:11
in terms of a belt situation. But doesn't a quick
53:15
turnaround time like that, isn't that kind of
53:17
dangerous? Not if your fight lasted two minutes.
53:22
And you didn't take any damage. Two minutes,
53:25
you took zero punches, and it's a weight class
53:28
you're way more comfortable at. But I mean the
53:31
amount of training he would be doing. He trains
53:34
year in, year round. That guy doesn't have internet,
53:36
dude. Do you follow his Instagram? I do follow
53:39
his Instagram. I know what he does, but I just
53:41
feel like being in training camp. This guy's
53:43
in camp year round, dude. I haven't seen a post
53:46
of him. I haven't seen a story post of him outside
53:48
of the gym in two years. I'm just saying like
53:51
on the mental psyche. I get the overtraining,
53:56
but I feel like if Boots is overtraining, he's
53:59
already doing that. He was posting shit on the
54:04
treadmill today. No, no. I'll tell you this.
54:08
You're right. I follow Boots on Instagram. He
54:10
doesn't post anything else. I haven't seen him
54:13
post anything regarding the club. Yeah, no. He's
54:15
either at the gym or fight week promotion. Yeah.
54:21
I don't see him outside of that gym. Yeah. He's
54:25
doing sprints on the treadmill in a sweatsuit
54:28
today. That is fucking bonkers. 13 hours ago.
54:33
Here, I'll send it. I'll send it. That is fucking
54:39
bananas. He is in a sweatsuit sprinting on a
54:43
treadmill. Already. With the caption right back
54:46
to it. He's always done this. So you think they
54:52
gave that rumor some merit? Yeah. Like literally.
54:58
Like here, right after he beat Stani Onus, a
55:01
week later, he was posting sparring pictures.
55:05
I feel like if they're going to put it in January,
55:07
they're probably going to put it either co -main
55:09
or T .O .P. Moe Shikuru. Yeah, like you said,
55:13
it's going to be on a ring card. The rumor is
55:14
that it's going to be on a ring card. A bow is
55:17
the rumored opponent, but it doesn't really matter
55:20
who it is. A bow is the one that makes the most
55:22
sense for the belt. So that way, Virgil... boots
55:27
is for a belt. If it's someone like where does
55:29
I live? I don't know, dude. I don't think it's
55:33
going to be what do you say? Baccarat? Yeah,
55:37
Baccarat. It's not going to be Baccarat because
55:41
actually non -zero chance it is Baccarat. If
55:47
Lubin for whatever reason beats Virgil, it could
55:50
be Baccarat. It's not going to be Pandora. I'll
55:53
tell you right now. No, it's absolutely not.
55:56
Not Fundora, not Zayas. I mean, if Fundora's
55:58
here ducking Thurman, he's not fighting Boots.
56:01
Yeah. Ducking Thurman. That's the fakest hand
56:05
injury I've ever seen. You shouldn't even be,
56:07
like, three weeks out from a world title fight,
56:09
you should not be doing strenuous hard work.
56:12
You should be making sure you're on weight. If
56:16
you're out here breaking your hand sparring,
56:18
and, like, no, it's not happening. You are not
56:21
a Japanese fighter. another jab you are not a
56:27
japanese fighter dude like like i'm for real
56:30
like three weeks three like three weeks out from
56:33
a world title fight you should not be breaking
56:36
your hand on shit all right let's actually get

59:59
copy it over. Oh, man, I'm really professional.
1:00:04
That's okay. This is a broadcast that talks about
1:00:06
the janitor and how bad of a job he does. I have
1:00:11
it. I just forgot to copy it. If there's any
1:00:14
clip you post on Instagram or anything, it's
1:00:19
got to be the janitor. We got to tag Dave Allen
1:00:24
in that post, so that way he'll have it. He'll
1:00:28
have a laugh. So, as we were talking about before
1:00:32
the break, Fundora Thurman postponed. Fundora
1:00:36
injured? Question mark. It sucks. There's a lot
1:00:41
of good fights on this. Not injured. Not injured
1:00:46
or if injured, idiotic. Completely like, this
1:00:49
is so stupid. Man, you really gotta wonder what
1:00:54
happens with these fights that are on the undercard,
1:00:57
because there's some good ones. Fucking, like,
1:01:00
how many times has Fulton had, like, cancelled
1:01:02
undercard fights, dude? He's gotta go start getting
1:01:04
insurance for that. Yeah, no kidding. He's gotta
1:01:07
do something. This fucking guy needs to get some
1:01:09
insurance for that, because every time Fundora
1:01:12
doesn't want to fight, like, a guy not from Australia.
1:01:18
Fuck's sake, man. I was looking forward to Oshaki
1:01:23
Foster versus Stephen Fulton. That too. I was
1:01:27
really excited for that. Jesus Ramos and Shane
1:01:33
Mosley Jr. is also a good fight. I like Jesus
1:01:36
Ramos. Yeah, me too. Lining up for Carlos Adamas.
1:01:43
Yeah, that's a banger. Even if Shane Mosley Jr.
1:01:47
isn't the best, he comes to fight. Yeah. He comes
1:01:53
to fight. He is a guy, and he's all right. The
1:01:59
Oshaki -Foster -Steven -Fulton fight was going
1:02:01
to be a banger. I'm pretty high on Fulton, and
1:02:05
more than that, Foster is pretty him at 130.
1:02:15
Yeah, it's interesting for Fulton to move up.
1:02:18
He loses to Inouye, moves up a division. snags
1:02:23
a title and then moves up again going for another
1:02:26
one. Did you see his tweet? He said, fuck it,
1:02:29
I'm moving to 147. That's probably what he doesn't
1:02:35
have to cut. Yeah, but I think, honestly, if
1:02:40
we're hating on Devin Haney, him and Haney are
1:02:42
probably a good fight. 147 is kind of desolate.
1:02:48
Steven Fulton would be tiny. Yeah, but I mean,
1:02:52
there's no risk. I'm saying if he makes the stupid
1:02:59
move going to 147, Haney, after losing to Norman,
1:03:02
does need a bounce back. That is fucking crazy.
1:03:06
And honestly, for Fulton, it's a good idea if
1:03:09
he thinks he can actually do it because Haney
1:03:12
is not a KO risk. Are you a retired Haney -iac?
1:03:19
haney uh i was on i was on i was big on haney
1:03:23
and then i'm like okay you know what like here
1:03:26
let me let me pull up his box right because i
1:03:28
need to get my timeline right devil haney devil
1:03:33
yeah like i was like okay like gamboa lenares
1:03:39
and like pedo diaz are like like okay like they're
1:03:44
like they're still like quality opponents so
1:03:46
it makes sense like a ud is still pretty good
1:03:48
like you know the fights are fun whatever right
1:03:51
he's totally gonna stop this fucking cambozos
1:03:56
guy where like teofimo was literally dying in
1:04:01
the ring and still almost stopped him um and
1:04:07
then uh my eyes closed during round 7 of his
1:04:12
first fight with Cambosos and didn't wake up
1:04:14
until the decision was being read. Well done.
1:04:18
And I'm like, oh, no. Okay, okay. Maybe I'm the
1:04:25
problem here. Let's watch the second fight against
1:04:27
Cambosos. I stayed awake the whole time, but,
1:04:30
like, I can see why hating -ass top rank put
1:04:35
a clinch counter in there. The ESPN clinch counter
1:04:43
was hilarious, but there is a reason why it was
1:04:46
happening, because he'd punch Cambosos twice
1:04:49
and clinch, and get separated, and he'd punch
1:04:52
Cambosos twice and clinch, and get separated.
1:04:55
And it's not like these were, like, soft pity
1:04:57
pat shots, though. He was winding up for home
1:05:00
run shots against Cambosos, and, like, yeah,
1:05:03
Cambosos' face looked fucked up, but, like, he
1:05:05
wasn't gonna get knocked out. Haney hit him with
1:05:09
a steel chair. Yeah, I'm sure Haney asked him
1:05:14
in the back as well. How was my power? Yeah,
1:05:16
that was embarrassing from Haney after the Linares
1:05:20
fight. Almost gets stopped by Linares and he's
1:05:23
here begging him about his power. Like, no, if
1:05:27
you had power, Linares would not have felt confident
1:05:29
enough to throw eight punches at your face. And
1:05:32
didn't Linares go back on that in the future?
1:05:35
Yeah, like an interview later, he's like, yeah,
1:05:37
he's not that, not all that. I just felt like
1:05:43
that was straight embarrassing, but I'm like,
1:05:45
okay, sure. He was probably concussed from Linares
1:05:47
taking eight straight punches at his face. The
1:05:51
Lomachenko fight. I don't think Lomachenko robbed
1:05:54
him, or he robbed Lomachenko. I think it was
1:05:57
just a fight that was close because both corners
1:06:02
are grossly incompetent. Like, if Haney used
1:06:07
his length a little more or had any power, it
1:06:13
would have been easily Haney's. And if Lomachenko
1:06:15
kind of acknowledged that Haney can't hurt him
1:06:18
and grown a pair, it would have been easily Lomachenko's.
1:06:23
And that's on their corners. That's on their
1:06:27
corners. Both fighters' corners failed them in
1:06:32
that fight. Yeah. The coaching was really bad
1:06:36
and the fight was rather sloppy for being a fight
1:06:38
between two technicians. It was a fight between
1:06:44
two technicians. It was actually a pretty good
1:06:46
fight. I'm not saying it was entertaining, but
1:06:48
it was sloppy because both corners failed the
1:06:50
guys. The adjustment is super easy. For Haney,
1:06:54
it's take a step back before throwing. Don't
1:06:58
try and get up close with Lomachenko. With Lomachenko,
1:07:00
it's hey, grow a pair. This guy can't fucking
1:07:02
hurt you. So, Regis, like, that's, I mean, I'm
1:07:09
not just, like, like, like, with Haney, like,
1:07:11
it kind of, like, the first Kambosos, the Kambosos
1:07:13
fights were, like, oh, my God. Like, it really
1:07:17
doesn't matter who he's fighting. This guy is
1:07:19
just a bit of a stinker. Really, that's when
1:07:24
it hit him. The first time I fell asleep with
1:07:26
Kambosos, I'm like, I can't do this anymore.
1:07:29
I can't, I can't pretend he's fighting well.
1:07:34
Let's keep rolling here. Yes, I got off track.
1:07:38
It's all right. So, yeah, Sebastian Fandora,
1:07:41
Keith Ehrman, that shit is postponed until who
1:07:44
knows when. And last fight to talk about. I don't
1:07:52
really care about anything under here. Where
1:07:56
is Lynn when you need her? Because I don't know
1:08:00
who these people are. Joseph Parker versus Fabio
1:08:03
Wardley. I can expect Joseph Parker to win at
1:08:11
least eight rounds before getting sent to the
1:08:14
Shadow Realm. I was going to say, it's big nuts
1:08:17
from Joseph Parker when he's sitting in a mandatory
1:08:19
slot. Sitting in a mandatory slot fighting against,
1:08:23
like, literally the heavenly mandate? It's crazy.
1:08:28
yeah like like he's gonna like parker is totally
1:08:31
going to win most of the fight and embarrass
1:08:33
wardley and then he's gonna lose and i will be
1:08:40
pulling my hair out once again yeah i'm pulling
1:08:43
for parker on this one i'll be pulling my hair
1:08:45
out for parker when he gets justice who need
1:08:48
justice that would be pretty funny if just parker
1:08:52
got All the work he's done. Got domed by Fabio
1:08:57
Wardley for... See, the reason why I don't want
1:09:00
it to happen is because I'm like, oh my god,
1:09:02
what if Usyk gets domed by Fabio Wardley? I think
1:09:05
I'd kill myself. I would have to stop watching
1:09:09
the sport for a little while. Like, listen, man,
1:09:12
I'm already very close to... I was already pretty
1:09:18
close to being like, I'm done. No way. After
1:09:21
Crawford Canelo. But then I came to my senses.
1:09:23
I'm like, this is just hate. That was a pretty
1:09:26
cool fight, actually. And now, if I watch that
1:09:31
shit, no way. No way. I got a thing from Shinada
1:09:40
here. The WBA has ordered Moses Itama and Kubrat
1:09:43
Pulev to fight. Interesting. Kubrat Pulev is
1:09:50
old enough to be Atama's dad. Yeah, and he also
1:09:54
lost to Chizora. So, pretty in line. I don't
1:09:59
mind it for a rankings position. Yeah, it's a
1:10:02
good fight for a ranking. Like, get your mandatory.
1:10:05
Get your mandatory. Because technically, since
1:10:07
the WB is ordering it for Atama to defend whatever...
1:10:11
Pulev is defending his regular title slash mandatory
1:10:14
position. against itama it's a it's a great way
1:10:20
to activate a mandatory but itama already turned
1:10:23
down uh a mandatory the frank sanchez dubois
1:10:27
he was supposed to be in dubois what's what's
1:10:30
what's what's more dangerous though like yeah
1:10:35
okay yeah like you it's like again dubois Dubois
1:10:40
went the same route when he beat the shit out
1:10:43
of Trevor Bryan on a leaky roof casino in Florida
1:10:47
on that Don King card. Oh, the one that had the
1:10:51
fucking banshee in the crowd. I remember that.
1:10:54
Yeah, that's how he got the first Usyk fight,
1:10:57
being the WBA mandatory by ripping that shit
1:11:00
off Trevor Bryan. So it makes a lot of sense
1:11:04
for Itama to take the Pulev fight and then go
1:11:07
for it. instead of playing, like, Frank Sanchez
1:11:12
or Dubois in the IBF pecking order. Because the
1:11:18
thing is that, like, the way Itama is as, like,
1:11:21
a borderline A -lister, he doesn't need to, like,
1:11:25
go through the hoops and ladders of the IBF to
1:11:27
get a world title shot. Like, he's evidently
1:11:32
popular enough for the other sanctioning bodies
1:11:34
to cut him some slack and make him fight guys
1:11:36
like Kubrat Pulev. So it makes a lot of sense
1:11:42
from his handler's perspective. Even if we believe
1:11:46
he could beat Frank Sanchez, which I believe
1:11:48
he could, that risk -reward. Especially because
1:11:55
the IBF can just say, yeah, you got to fight
1:11:57
a final eliminator against Daniel Dubois versus
1:12:02
you can keep that WBA thing forever as long as
1:12:06
you're still making money. That's my... That's
1:12:09
my point on the thing Shanada just sent. Yeah.
1:12:13
Back to Joseph Parker. Not sure what else to
1:12:16
say other than be pulling my hair out when he
1:12:19
gets fucking Homer Simpson. Yeah. It's going
1:12:23
to happen. I'm hopeful that it doesn't. But,
1:12:28
God. Seriously, big balls move from Joseph Parker
1:12:34
here. Oh, absolutely. Wardley is like the worst
1:12:36
kind of fight you want to take. There's zero
1:12:38
reward for beating him because he's some British
1:12:40
dude who gets outboxed by everyone he meets.
1:12:44
And, well, you can just get memed by him. The
1:12:49
zero reward, all risk. Yep. Well, that's all
1:13:01
we got. That's all we got on the docket. Excellent.
1:13:07
All right, let me do this. Pop quiz, hotshot.
1:13:10
What's tiny, fuzzy, and responsible for a large
1:13:13
portion of the food we eat? If you guessed bees,
1:13:16
well, you nailed it. Seriously, one out of every
1:13:19
three bites on your plate depends on bees. So
1:13:22
there's a bit of bad news here. These little
1:13:25
heroes of our gardens and dinners are struggling.
1:13:27
Between habitat loss, climate change, and pesticides,
1:13:32
It's a fucking bummer. Without them, our world
1:13:35
would look a lot different and it would be a
1:13:37
lot less delicious. But there is good news. Support

Review. What do you got in the shoot right now?
1:15:00
Let me look at my sticky note wall. I have an
1:15:04
article giving Crawford his flowers that I'm
1:15:07
going to perpetually delay as long as I can out
1:15:09
of blind hatred. An article on Dave Allen and
1:15:15
how he pisses in the sink while he's supposed
1:15:17
to be cleaning it. That's how he cleans it. And
1:15:23
boots and his glaze. All right. Well, that's
1:15:28
what you got to look forward to on Wayside. All
1:15:34
that said, parting words. Go ahead, Saul. Oh,
1:15:43
so I just wanted to give a shout out to one of
1:15:45
the listeners. I got a loyal listener now. What's
1:15:52
up, Richie? What's up? What's going on, Richie?
1:15:56
Is this a paid ad? Do I get five bucks for this?
1:16:00
He's actually also a big Boots fan. Okay, excellent.
1:16:03
What's up, Richie? Shout out Dave Allen. Hey,
1:16:10
why don't you call in the phone line? Maybe we'll
1:16:14
cut you in. He's nervous. Listen, man. If Dave
1:16:17
Allen wants in on this podcast, we're letting
1:16:19
him on the podcast. Oh, fuck yeah. Oh, without
1:16:22
question. Are you kidding me? He'll be. As long
1:16:27
as he ignores all the... The janitor talk? Yeah.
1:16:33
You'll probably agree. Yeah, I was going to say,
1:16:36
I would never admit the stuff about the piss
1:16:39
jugs that he's admitted on interviews. That is
1:16:44
not something I would say publicly either. Yeah,
1:16:46
like the same way I would keep a belt draped
1:16:49
around me forever. if it wasn't the English one,
1:16:53
I would never in my life, you could waterboard
1:16:56
me and I would never say that I piss in jugs
1:16:59
under my bed. That is fucking gross. Like, if
1:17:09
I was that desperate and that lazy to not even
1:17:15
be able to get to the washroom in my domicile,
1:17:17
like... I would at least use my cat's litter
1:17:20
box. Not a jug. Maybe I'm not British enough.
1:17:29
I'm not enough of a Doncaster lad to understand.
1:17:34
Are those your parting words? I'd rather use
1:17:37
my cat's litter box? I'd rather use my cat's
1:17:39
litter box than keep a jug under my bed for six
1:17:42
months. I don't think that's a hot take. It's
1:17:47
not reasonable. Well, if that's what you're getting,
1:17:51
I'm going to throw in the old standby Provox
1:17:54
good. Yay. Watch Provox. When is the next Provox,
1:17:59
Kurt? November 7th. Excellent. Tune in to Provox
1:18:03
on November 7th or else. There's actually some
1:18:07
really good fights on there. I'm looking forward
1:18:08
to talking about that one. Yes. All right. If
1:18:13
that's it. Then that's it for this edition of
1:18:15
the Foxy B -Sides. We'll see you on the other
1:18:18
side of Joseph Parker vs. Homer Simpson.
