00:00:00
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. You got to be different to be a boxer, though. Well, you got to go because it's just you in there. Yeah. And, man, you got to have some mental toughness. I tip my hat to them cats. I enjoy watching boxing, man, and how those guys stay disciplined, stay in elite shape. They probably the most elite-shaped athletes there are.
00:00:18
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:00:19
Speaker 1: Man.
00:00:19
Speaker 3: And you got to be mentally wired a little different, too, though.
00:00:22
Speaker 1: You do, bro. You got to been done went through something. I'm serious, bro. Like, you probably done went through something. You was bad as I don't know what as a kid. They had to find other ways to treat.
00:00:31
Speaker 3: You, you know what I mean? Right, right, right, right, right.
00:00:33
Speaker 1: Like, I just feel like there ain't nothing you just pick up and be like, oh, man, I think I want to be a boxer. I'm going to do this. You ain't become no boxer when you had silk pajamas as a kid.
00:00:39
Speaker 4: That damn sure didn't happen.
00:00:41
Speaker 1: Right. You become a boxer because that's it. Yeah.
00:00:44
Speaker 4: You know, you.
00:00:46
Speaker 1: You grew up very, very hard. You grew up rugged. You grew up tough. You go back and look at those guys like James Braddock. They're telling the story how he like, man, he fought because I got to feed six, seven kids. I got to feed a family. What else am I supposed to do? Ain't nobody hired at this time in this economy, this climate. And you look at the boxers. Look at when you hear the story of boxers. A lot of them are very, very similar. A lot of them coming from impoverished backgrounds. Some come from broken homes. And this is the only way out. Some, like, you know what? I got tired of getting beat up. I learned how to fight. Now I'm a professional boxer. Whatever it is that took you to get there, you have to be wired differently. Just like to play football. To go out there and to hit somebody, to take your body and to crash into somebody else... You different. Yeah. Everybody can't do that.
00:01:40
Speaker 4: Everybody, oh, I can. No, no, no, no.
00:01:42
Speaker 1: Everybody cannot, cannot train, even if you want to, to train your body to go run into another man at a very high rate of speed. To do that, it takes a special type of person. And boxing takes an even more special type of person.
00:02:10
Speaker 3: What's up, boss? You good? Nice to meet you, man. Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure.
00:02:13
Speaker 4: What's up, bro? How you doing, man? Yeah, nice to meet you.
00:02:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, you good, you good. You can sit on the table right there, bro. How you been, bro? I've been doing well. How are you? Man, you got to pronounce Raphael. You have to pronounce his last name. Raphael Akujari. Raphael Akujari. Aquajury? Aquajury, A-K-P-E.
00:02:37
Speaker 4: Oh, Aquapure.
00:02:38
Speaker 1: It's Nigerian.
00:02:39
Speaker 4: Oh, okay. Nigerian? 18 KOs.
00:02:41
Speaker
Load full transcript
1: Okay, okay. Bro, 18 KOs in 19 fights?
00:02:44
Speaker 4: That's what we do.
00:02:45
Speaker 1: You getting them up out of there, huh?
00:02:47
Speaker 5: It's my job. It's what I do for a living. It's where I get paid. Knock them out and keep me stepping.
00:02:51
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Ojo. Nigerian boxer with an orthodox stance.
00:02:57
Speaker 3: Hey, how was camp? How was camp?
00:02:59
Speaker 5: Camp was great, you know. Right before this fight, I had a fight in May, which I unfortunately lost. I was fighting for the WBC International in Germany. And just after that fight, I mean, that was one of the fights where I had to go the distance for the first time.
00:03:15
Speaker 1: Not for the first time, for the second time.
00:03:17
Speaker 2: Second time.
00:03:18
Speaker 5: So I got to really see myself on film and see what I'm about, see what I can do. I saw a lot of things that I didn't like. I saw a lot of the corrections that my trainer, Glenn, has been talking about. just seeing the first time I saw my progression through a fight. For the first round, second round, sixth round, you know, everything kind of made sense because in the fight, the other thing, I mean, you don't know you box, so you know how life feels after this fifth round. Everybody comes fighting the first round, then. You know, fifth, sixth round, that's where the champions come out. So I saw my progression in the sixth round, and I saw how, just watching the fight, I saw, I could imagine, I could remember what I felt at that time and why I wasn't doing the things that I was doing. So I came back from that, you know, went back to work. You know, I had a meeting with my whole, my entire team. Everybody shared what it was about. I kind of shared what I was thinking and what I was doing and how I was feeling and why I didn't do certain things that they were asking me to do. And from there, I just put in the work. I'm in a much better space now. Got all the sparring I need. I was with Tyson Fury the other last week. I was sparring with Drunov, Luis Ortiz, Nesto Santana. Just everybody just kind of came through to help me with this fight. Just knowing the magnitude of what we're about to... deal with here in Vegas.
00:04:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, most definitely.
00:04:29
Speaker 1: How long have you been fighting? You been a fighter your whole life?
00:04:32
Speaker 5: Absolutely not. I played basketball, man. I know you from basketball days. So I came to America through the Jordan Classic. I played for the Jordan Classic in 2008. Oh, you played in that?
00:04:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did. Oh, yeah?
00:04:45
Speaker 5: With Samuels, Brandon Jennings.
00:04:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, so that's how I... From Basketball Out of Borders, Jordan Classic. I played back, went to Sunrise Christian Academy, Kansas.
00:04:58
Speaker 1: I played with Buddy Heald. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:01
Speaker 5: Then from there, went to Versa Miami, played basketball.
00:05:04
Speaker 1: What's it to you, Ocho? You went to the U?
00:05:06
Speaker 3: You was at the crib?
00:05:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did, man.
00:05:08
Speaker 1: Come on. I'm from Tropical Park.
00:05:09
Speaker 3: What's wrong with you, bro?
00:05:10
Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. Oh, I'm tripping. That's right.
00:05:15
Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness. No, it endowed me.
00:05:17
Speaker 4: Pedro.
00:05:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, Pedro. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We used to train in the same gym.
00:05:22
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, we don't see very many boxers, basketball players, turn boxers.
00:05:29
Speaker 4: Normally, it's the football players.
00:05:30
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:05:32
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, that was my journey, you know, from basketball, because I played with Jim Laranega in basketball for four years. I went to the Final Four, not Final Four, sorry, Sweet 16 with Shane Larkin and them guys. After that, I now went to, Al Golden called me up to football, play football for the U for, I didn't make, I wasn't in the final on the team, but I was in practice squad. So I played wide receiver there. For 2014 with Philip Dorsett. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. And them guys, Chikolo and them guys. Then from there, the Miami Dolphins called me up.
00:06:07
Speaker 1: Damn.
00:06:08
Speaker 5: I was with them for training camp with.
00:06:10
Speaker 1: The Tannehill, right?
00:06:11
Speaker 5: Tannehill and them guys.
00:06:11
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:06:12
Speaker 5: Then I got cut. You know, your boy was depressed for a long time. You know, for about six months, got a job. I was just a miserable guy. Then I decided to go to boxing.
00:06:21
Speaker 1: Bro, you talented as hell. I mean, think about it.
00:06:24
Speaker 4: I just do things, bro.
00:06:25
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just do things. Does it come easy? There ain't a whole lot of people. Think about what you just said. You came on Basketball Without Borders. So you go make the Jordan Classic. You play college basketball. You play NFL. You get on to the practice squad of the NFL football. And now you're a professional boxer. Bro, there ain't a whole lot of people that got a journey like that.
00:06:46
Speaker 5: My dad was a professional soccer player. My mom was a sprinter. So I got it from somewhere.
00:06:51
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. It makes sense.
00:06:52
Speaker 5: I mean, I just do things. Unfortunately, the things I do are athletic, I guess. So it's not easy for me, just something I'm just willing to do. And my dad is the kind of guy who is like, go ahead and do it. You know, I had a fight, I think two years ago, where I got knocked out cold.
00:07:07
Speaker 1: Right?
00:07:08
Speaker 5: I call my dad, I'm like, yo, bro, this vaccine is not for me.
00:07:11
Speaker 1: My dad was like, are you serious?
00:07:14
Speaker 5: Like, he was like, are you serious? Like, do you know how much people talk about me because of you? You better get your ass back in the.
00:07:19
Speaker
3: Gym and go figure it out.
00:07:21
Speaker 5: So that's the kind of mindset, that's the kind of people that I grew up around. I grew up with a dad who played professional soccer in Nigeria, played with the best of them back in the day. So I always had that encouragement to always go back and.
00:07:33
Speaker 1: Do the best. And maybe one day I'm going to be a swimmer. Who knows? Hey, so who influenced your boxing? Like, where did your boxing style come from? Give us a couple cats. I watch a lot.
00:07:45
Speaker 5: When I started boxing, I watched Lennox Lewis.
00:07:48
Speaker 4: Okay.
00:07:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, and growing up, I watched Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis. Lennox was my favorite boxer because when I was 7, 8, you know, that was the guy who was popping, you know. So watching him and just watching his, not boxing, his aura, the way he stood, the way he, you know, he's just dominant. That kind of swayed me into it. So from watching Lennox, watching Floyd, Triple G was popular when I started. I watched a lot of Anthony Joshua. From that, I watched Crawford. Crawford's the latest guy I watch now. Errol Spence was my guy at one point. Just getting the skills from different people. Marvin Hagler, I've you know, just watching the old school guys and watching, just trying to pick different things from different places. I'm fortunate to have a trainer, Glenn Johnson, the road warrior. So watching him, just listening to him every single day, you know, there's a blessing that comes from that. So my style is from different people and when it's all said and done, I'm going to create my own personal style.
00:08:48
Speaker 1: Oh, okay. So what can we expect from you Saturday night in the ring? Well, I have 19 wins, 18 knockouts. So.
00:08:59
Speaker 5: And I haven't really knocked somebody in a long time. You feeling like it this weekend, huh? Yeah, I'm feeling a little bit injured.
00:09:05
Speaker 1: I see it. I see it in your eyes, bro. I see it. You look determined. You look focused. You look ready.
00:09:09
Speaker 5: I don't feel too good, bro.
00:09:10
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah. But, yeah, hopefully....
00:09:14
Speaker 5: You know, I pray for safety for everybody. My goal is for everybody to go back home safely to their family.
00:09:18
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:09:19
Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, don't forget, this is a kill sport.
00:09:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, right.
00:09:22
Speaker 2: Um.
00:09:22
Speaker 5: We get paid to do damage in a boxing ring.
00:09:25
Speaker 1: In front of the crowd.
00:09:25
Speaker 4: You would hurt business.
00:09:27
Speaker 1: Exactly.
00:09:27
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
00:09:29
Speaker 1: So, yeah, we're going to get it right. Right.
00:09:31
Speaker 5: But you're going to see a good fight. Okay. At the best, on the best case scenario, you're going to see a good fight.
00:09:36
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:09:37
Speaker 5: In a spectacular case scenario, you see what I do best.
00:09:41
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:09:42
Speaker 3: I like it. Where was camp? You held camp in Miami?
00:09:44
Speaker 2: Miami.
00:09:44
Speaker 4: You was in Miami?
00:09:45
Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
00:09:45
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:09:48
Speaker 4: How difficult is it for you to remain?
00:09:50
Speaker 1: More people are going to watch you in this fight than any other fight because you're on this card right here. And uh and i know you want to make a great showing because you want to show the world that hey this is who i am yeah this is what i'm capable of doing and you got a chance to witness one of the great up-and-coming fighters what what does that mean how do you stay focused they're like bro it's i'm still getting in the ring i still gotta fight regardless of who the headline is i still gotta do my job Well, experience comes a lot, you know.
00:10:19
Speaker 5: My first loss, I fought the Russian, the Russian number five WBC heavyweight champion. Yes, I was feeling myself, right? There are probably fights I maybe should not have taken, but I'm glad I took that fight because obviously if you're not fighting the best, what are you doing in this sport, you know?
00:10:34
Speaker 1: Right.
00:10:36
Speaker 5: I was, my mind was everywhere. I was thinking, what am I going to do? What kind of job am I going to throw? You know, I just didn't know what to do. It was on ESPN, bright lights, main stage, national TV. Everybody was watching me. I got stopped. It kind of sucked, you know, I was kind of depressed for a few months, but, um, we came back to it. Um, What I'm trying to say here is that I've seen the bright lights.
00:10:57
Speaker 1: Okay. In boxing.
00:10:58
Speaker 5: Not in the sports, but in the boxing.
00:11:00
Speaker 4: Right.
00:11:00
Speaker 5: So now my job is to go and do my job. Ignore the noise. Coach Al Golden back in the day used to say, ignore the noise, ignore the noise. And that always just plays into my head. Everything else is noise. Go in there, knock the man out, and celebrate after.
00:11:15
Speaker 4: Right.
00:11:16
Speaker 5: That's my job. Go in there, ignore the noise. Do what you need to do. If my phone is buzzing, someone take care of it.
00:11:22
Speaker 2: If.
00:11:23
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm grateful I have a coach who's kind of a famous guy, so all the noise goes to him. You know, so that's beneficial for me, right? I'm not the guy. I'm not the main guy in my team.
00:11:33
Speaker 1: Right.
00:11:34
Speaker 5: My coach is the kind of guy on the team, so that helps a lot, you know?
00:11:37
Speaker 1: And you happen to be married to someone that's as famous, if not more famous, than you. You didn't even tell us that. Who was that?
00:11:44
Speaker 4: That was a long time ago, bro.
00:11:47
Speaker 1: What's your name? Aguma K.
00:11:48
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah? That's... That's been over for quite some time now.
00:11:51
Speaker 3: What?
00:11:52
Speaker 5: Y'all... No, that was an old story. We just moved forward.
00:11:55
Speaker 1: Okay. My bad.
Yeah.
00:11:58
Speaker 4: My bad.
00:11:58
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
00:11:59
Speaker 4: I didn't mean to bring that up.
00:12:02
Speaker 5: It was great right last time.
00:12:03
Speaker 1: It was the best thing ever.
00:12:04
Speaker 4: But we moved forward.
00:12:06
Speaker 1: But I just can't believe how talented you are, bro. That's talent. To be able to do what you're at that level. We're not talking about no 11, 12-year-old. We're talking about grown men's sports. We're talking about collegiate basketball. We're talking about NFL football. We're talking about professional prize fighting. Do you realize what you've done?
00:12:26
Speaker 5: Again, my daddy played basketball. My daddy played soccer professionally. My mom was a sprinter. So I don't know.
00:12:32
Speaker 1: I just do things.
00:12:34
Speaker 4: Right.
00:12:34
Speaker 5: And it just happens to be things that people clap for. I don't see it like that, but maybe one day I will. I just do things. I mean, I also come from the U.
00:12:44
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
00:12:47
Speaker 1: You know how that works. So we just do things.
00:12:48
Speaker 4: The Rock, Shanna, everybody, we just do things.
00:12:51
Speaker 5: And when we do things, when we do them and do them with the grind and with the mindset that we're going to be the best, unfortunately or fortunately, we just happen to be the best or very good at what we do. So it's an amazing program.
00:13:03
Speaker 4: I love the U.
00:13:04
Speaker 5: I mean, there's no better place I would have gone to school. The people we're around, the people that we see, the people we talk to, the people we see every day. I mean, it's just an amazing place. And the things that they teach us, you know, the people that come around, you know, hopefully by the grace of God, within the next few months, I'll be a heavyweight champion of the world. And I can come back and, you know, show the next generation that, hey, man, I did it. Dwayne Johnson did it. Warren Sepp did it.
00:13:31
Speaker 4: Ray Lewis.
00:13:32
Speaker 5: Ray Lewis.
00:13:32
Speaker 1: Everybody does. So you two can do it. Adrian James can do it.
00:13:36
Speaker 5: Everybody can do it. So the next generation just continues the tradition. It's our job now to mentor the next generation. The older generation has mentored us. It's our job to now do the work for the next one and just keep the tradition alive.
00:13:49
Speaker 1: So when you win this fight on Saturday night, come back on Nightcap and tell us how you did it. Absolutely. Thank you, bro. Thank you very much.

Speaker 3: I've been telling them they don't believe I can box, man. I've been telling them.
00:14:05
Speaker 1: No, I'm not even trying to cap. You can actually box.
00:14:07

00:16:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, I already know.
00:16:08
Speaker 1: If they know you, they probably would have never procreated with you.
00:16:13
Speaker 4: They're like, we don't want no part of no glitzy guy. What's wrong with you?
00:16:16
Speaker 3: It's just a little hot dog. And they toasted the bun, too, Joe.
00:16:19
Speaker 1: Oh, it's fine, man. I know you want a little bit.
00:16:21
Speaker 3: Nah, nah, nah.

Speaker 4: All right. Man, this man need help. Hey, y'all are tripping, man. But, no, but the Bradley Beal situation, Joe, you make, look.
00:17:35
Speaker 1: I understand. When they were sending him home.
00:17:37
Speaker 4: Obviously, we're not going to be on the best turn.
00:17:39
Speaker 1: But it does lighten the blow. It lightens the blow a little bit if you tell me, you know what, that number three? We're going to put it up in the record. Ain't nobody else going to be able to wear that number. Yeah. Like, now if you see Pete, he probably, hell, he probably like Jaden Daniels. Yeah. Man, cut ties. Man, I don't even want to deal with y'all. Straight up. Nah, for real. Because if you done told me you're going to retire my number, not Bradley Beal wearing it. Yeah. Come on, bro. And this is a big season for Bradley Beal, Uncle Ocho. It's a huge season for him. You know, considering the fact that since he left Washington, bro, he hadn't been an all-star caliber player since. Not even close. He had a short stint in Phoenix.
00:18:12
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:18:12
Speaker 1: It didn't go great. Now he's in with the Clippers, and we know what they need desperately. You know what I mean? Considering the fact what they've lost probably over the next five to seven years without having picks, they need guys who are going to be able to step up and play and play big. Well, they're big three, so they're going to need Darius Garland, they're going to need B.I., and they're going to need Bradley Beal. They're going to need Bradley Beal to be the Bradley Beal to average 30 points a game with the Wizards. I don't know. They ain't going to get that one. Now, they may get a Bradley Bionc who could probably get them by 20, 21 a game. I'm just keeping it realistic. You know what I mean? Well, they need to have 320 points. In order for them to have success, they're going to need to have 320 points scored. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. In order for them to have some success in the West, because it's so tough and it's so star-driven. You know, I'm talking about the first six slots. Yeah. You got San Antonio. You got OKC. You got Denver. You got Minnesota. Houston.
00:19:08
Speaker 4: Houston. That's five right there.
00:19:11
Speaker 1: You didn't say Lakers. I didn't say Lakers.
00:19:14
Speaker 4: That's six.
00:19:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, hey, Golden State. If Steph Curry's healthy, Steph Curry's going to have something to say. It's
going to be tough, man. It's going to be tough for them Clippers in that West. But, yeah, I think, bro, this is a very important year for B. Bill, considering the fact I know he wants to get back to that all-star caliber guy. I don't know if that's possible in the West.
00:19:37
Speaker 4: It's going to be tough. I don't know.
00:19:38
Speaker 1: You got to be playing great ball, not only individually, but as a team. And look at the guards.
00:19:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:19:44
Speaker 1: You got Ant-Man, you got Shea, you got Luka. Yeah, you got Castle, you got Murray. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Woo!
00:19:54
Speaker 4: And Harper.
00:19:55
Speaker 1: We don't know if he's going to start it. He's still going to come out off the bench. Darren Fox was an all-star.
00:20:00
Speaker 8: Yeah.
00:20:01
Speaker 1: Yeah. But the guards are loaded. You got to be different now. You definitely got to be different. And not to count, you know, And the bigs, obviously the bigs, Yolk, Wimby. Yeah.
00:20:15
Speaker 4: Man.
00:20:16
Speaker 1: It's going to be hard to compete with that. Because they lost, the Clippers lost Zubac. They traded Zubac here in Indiana. So you don't have that huge presence. you know, up under the goal, so. But I would, you know what? I would feel some type of way, too. If you told me that you was going to retire my jersey and then I look up there and I see somebody in it, I feel some type of way. Yeah, I will, too. I ain't finna sit here and talk about it wouldn't matter to me.
00:20:40
Speaker 4: It wouldn't matter.
00:20:41
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:20:41
Speaker 4: It wouldn't matter.
00:20:42
Speaker 1: Now, had you not told me anything, okay, cool. But if you told me that's what you're going to do, And then I turn around and I see somebody in that jersey, yeah, I feel some type of way. Yeah, I'm going to feel a way too, bro. That's why I say we don't know what they told Jaden Daniels because it was the same situation. Man, as the player, yeah, you're going to be taken back behind that. Yeah, and what we got too now? What we got?
00:21:09
Speaker 4: What we got?
00:21:09
Speaker 1: I guess we just got anything? We got any other topics? Hey, I know a good topic.
00:21:17
Speaker 4: You talking about Bradley?
00:21:18
Speaker 1: I got one.
00:21:19
Speaker 4: I know a good topic.
00:21:20
Speaker 1: What?
00:21:21
Speaker 3: Dana said he got something for me.
00:21:23
Speaker 5: I mean, hey.
00:21:25
Speaker 4: Joe, they're killing you with them shorts. By my shorts? It's okay.
00:21:28
Speaker 1: It's okay. Hey, look, I can't help God took his time with me. I can't help it. Hey, he took his time with them shorts, too, because he didn't have no more material. Hey, listen, I know we can talk about those Shelton, the tennis player.
00:21:41
Speaker 4: Oh, Ben.
00:21:42
Speaker 1: Woo.
00:21:43
Speaker 4: I watched it.
00:21:44
Speaker 1: He slayed all the way up. I watched all the way up. I said, man, you watch this probably by what? Yeah. He's coaching.
No, it was probably by.
00:21:53
Speaker 4: Probably about 11.45 when you hit me.
00:21:54
Speaker 1: They were late. They didn't go off until like 3.30, 3.35. Yeah, I fell asleep. Well, 12.35.
00:21:59
Speaker 3: You fell asleep too?
00:22:00
Speaker 4: I fell asleep. I fell asleep.
00:22:01
Speaker 1: Well, boy, when I'm talking about them boys was hitting, that left-hand Sheldon guy, his backhand didn't get better.
00:22:07
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:22:07
Speaker 1: I'm talking about his all-around game was impeccable. But that last one, I was like, bro, he about to crank this up. He about to jump out of his shoes on this one. He had that last ace was probably about 144 to 146. Ooh. I was like, man. Ain't nobody return that. And it ain't like he was playing no slouch. No, no, Alcaraz.
00:22:25
Speaker 4: He playing number two play. Yeah, Alcaraz.
00:22:27
Speaker 3: Alcaraz, that boy.
00:22:28
Speaker 1: And he just coming off a wrist injury.
00:22:31
Speaker 3: All four months. This is his first time back.
00:22:33
Speaker 1: This is your best chance. This is your best chance for somebody to win a major because Alcaraz is out and Senator did not even join it. And guess what? All things being equal, this is going to be the first time. We're going to have an American male. in the finals of a championship. He'll be the first African-American since Malachi Washington went back in 1996 at Wimbledon. So we're talking about 30 years since we've had a black American male in the finals. We got to go back to the last time we've had, what, potentially have an American to win a major would be Andy Roddick in 2003. He won this very U.S. Open. So it doesn't happen often.
00:23:12
Speaker 3: No.
00:23:13
Speaker 2: And.
00:23:14
Speaker 1: For that match to go four hours and 30 minutes, and that man still serving at 146 miles per hour. Through that duration, it tells you a lot about his conditioning and the way he approached the game. It was impressive to watch, bro. It was so impressive to watch.
00:23:30
Speaker 3: I think tennis players, especially those at the highest level, their conditioning might be up there with MMA and soccer and boxing. Because you're playing tennis four hours. It ain't like you're standing in one spot for hours.
00:23:40
Speaker 1: Four, five, six, seven, eight.
00:23:41
Speaker 3: You're moving left and right and, man.
00:23:43
Speaker 1: Up, back. And the thing is now, they got the clock on you. They don't be letting you take your time and go wipe your face and wave to the crowd and go get you a drink and everything. They got that clock on you. And they got that in baseball, too. Yeah. They got the 36 o'clock.
00:23:57
Speaker 3: Because the pitchers be taking all that damn time playing around at the mound.
00:23:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got time for all that. Man, pitch the ball, man, and we get up out of here.
00:24:03
Speaker 3: And hit them, too.
00:24:03
Speaker 1: They be pulling up in their gloves. Yeah. Man, get your ass in the battle box and hit him in the elbow, man. Ain't nobody got time for you to be doing all that. But, man, this is going to be a great fight.
00:24:17
Speaker 4: I can't wait to see.
00:24:17
Speaker 1: Look. Ocho and I, Joe, this is probably your first time being here, but Ocho and I, we've done a couple of these. And everybody come out and say the same thing. They're going to do this, they're going to do that. And then they get in the ring and don't do none of what they say. I'm looking at some of these guys. I believe them.
00:24:31
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:24:32
Speaker 1: I believe them this time around. I believe they're going to do what they say they're going to do.
00:24:36
Speaker 4: Exactly, yeah.
00:24:36
Speaker 1: I tell you what, Carter Bean, he seemed convincing to me. Yeah. He seemed convincing to me. He seemed like a guy who's ready and prepared for the fight. Obviously, uh... You know, the way he came in and talked about how he's going to impose his will. I'm looking forward to that, bro. I want to see it. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
00:24:52
Speaker 3: And I'm surprised Vegas has Conor Bennett as the underdog.
00:24:55
Speaker 4: He's decided underdog.
00:24:57
Speaker 3: I'm not— well, let me be quiet.
00:25:02
Speaker 1: Yeah. But, hey, when I sat down with Ryan, Ryan said he's—hey. You say the speed. You say he ain't ready for it. He ain't never seen speed like this.
00:25:10
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:25:10
Speaker 4: He ain't never seen power.
00:25:12
Speaker 3: Even as fast as Ryan is, you know, you talk to anybody that's been in combat sports, one thing that beats speed is timing.
00:25:18
Speaker 1: Yes.
00:25:18
Speaker 3: Once he catch a rhythm, the way you fight and the way you throw it, I mean, as fast as you are means nothing.
00:25:23
Speaker 4: That's why Marquez called the Pacquiao.
00:25:25
Speaker 1: Bingo. He timed him up perfect because he knows the Pacquiao like that.
00:25:28
Speaker 3: That bounce.
00:25:28
Speaker 1: Yeah. See? Timing. One, two, one. Bam.
00:25:31
Speaker 3: Once you catch a rhythm, then that speed means nothing.
00:25:34
Speaker 1: Yeah. I want to see if Ryan has... You know, gotten better with his ring IQ versus just trying to use his speed and come with that hook every time.
00:25:43
Speaker 4: Man, people are going to be sitting on that, bro.
00:25:45
Speaker 1: They're going to cut your lights out real quick.
00:25:47
Speaker 4: And it's conditioning.
00:26:11
Speaker 1: He said, because he was overweight when he- Yeah, I think sometimes they be trying to sell it.
00:26:17
Speaker 4: I ain't even trained hard and I beat you.
00:26:19
Speaker 1: Oh.
00:26:21
Speaker 3: Nah.
00:26:22
Speaker 1: Man, that be like me and Ocho say, man, you know what? I ain't even practiced this whole week. I was at home.
00:26:26
Speaker 4: The coach sent me home for the whole week.
00:26:28
Speaker 1: And boy, that's a lie. You know you ain't finna come out here and do no damage.
00:26:32
Speaker 3: Is
there more hot dogs?
00:26:34
Speaker 4: Nah, they good. They gone.
00:26:36
Speaker 3: Any more?
00:26:37
Speaker 1: I don't know. You trying to gobble down another one?
00:26:40
Speaker 3: Ain't I want hot dogs? No, I want hot dogs.
00:26:45
Speaker 4: Chad, I'm sorry.
00:26:46
Speaker 3: That's it?
00:26:49
Speaker 1: Oh, man.
00:26:50
Speaker 4: Jack, I'm sorry.
00:26:56
Speaker 3: Wait, is that somebody's? You sure, Jordan, you want it?
00:27:01
Speaker 5: No?
00:27:02
Speaker 1: No.
00:27:02
Speaker 2: No.
00:27:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, you go.
00:27:12
Speaker 1: I guess nobody want me to have no smoothie, huh? Yeah, the strawberry with pineapples. Yeah.
00:27:21
Speaker 3: You want a piece?
00:27:22
Speaker 4: No, hell no. I'm good.
00:27:24
Speaker 1: I'm good. This man thought I wanted a hot dog. Ain't no hot dog in 30 years.
00:27:30
Speaker 3: You want this other half?
00:27:31
Speaker 1: No, no, no. I'm good.
00:27:32
Speaker 3: All right. Hey, Jack.
00:27:34
Speaker 1: Y'all want some hot dogs? Yeah, it's like strawberry, mango, pineapple, banana. I think that's what's in it. Hey, them used to be birthday go-tos as a kid.
00:27:42
Speaker 3: You know that Glenn Johnson?
00:27:43
Speaker 1: Yeah. Fort Roy? Yeah. He knocked Roy out of them. Unfortunately, he knocked Roy out. Roy was on the ring trying to do the rope-a-dope and he got one through there.
00:27:54
Speaker 4: My man right here?
00:27:54
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:27:55
Speaker 1: Yeah. Nah, I'm good. Joe got that weak-ass bladder. That's why they finna be running to the bathroom.
00:28:08
Speaker 4: I just pee back here.
00:28:11
Speaker 1: Oh, Lord.
00:28:11
Speaker 3: Now, you should get this little cup, Joe. Get a little water bottle. Save your time.
00:28:15
Speaker 1: Nah, the bathroom right out the door. It's close by.
00:28:19
Speaker 9: Where you been at?
00:28:22
Speaker 3: Hey, you seen Andre Ward? Hey, let him know I'm looking for him.
00:28:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, where is he at?

Speaker 4: Where Dre at?
00:28:30
Speaker 2: Oh, he's here?
00:28:31
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:28:32
Speaker 4: I know Tarvin's supposed to be stopping by too.
00:28:35
Speaker 3: Hey, that Andre Ward, I'm with his ass.

00:28:49
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Ocho.
00:28:50
Speaker 4: Huh?
00:28:50
Speaker 5: Huh?
00:28:52
Speaker 4: I ain't got nothing over here.
00:28:55
Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
00:28:57
Speaker 2: Magsayo.
00:28:58
Speaker 1: Pronounce that last name.
00:28:59
Speaker 2: Magsayo.
00:29:01
Speaker 4: Magsayo.
00:29:02
Speaker 1: Magsayo.
00:29:03
Speaker 2: Magsayo.
00:29:04
Speaker 1: Magsayo. Magsayo.
00:29:06
Speaker 4: 20-92, 19 KOs. What can we expect out of this fight?
00:29:11
Speaker 2: Oh, you're going to expect five works.
00:29:14
Speaker 1: Yeah. Five works.
00:29:15
Speaker 6: Like, yeah, he's undefeated, but I'm more experienced. I'm more stronger and better than him.
00:29:20
Speaker 2: This is my prime. This is my weight.
00:29:22
Speaker 1: Yeah. Let's go. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:29:26
Speaker 3: How was camp? Camp was good?
00:29:29
Speaker 6: Eight weeks camp is good because after my fight last April 5th, I win knockout. And then when I know that he's my next opponent.
00:29:37
Speaker 2: Right. So after that one week rest, I train.
00:29:41
Speaker 3: You took one week off after your last fight in April?
00:29:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, just one week off because I am a disciplined guy.
00:29:48
Speaker 1: Right, right. I don't drink.
00:29:49
Speaker 2: I don't do party. Just family.
00:29:52
Speaker 1: Just locked in.
00:29:53
Speaker 2: Just locked in.
00:29:54
Speaker 1: What's your fighting style? Give us your fighting style.
00:29:57
Speaker 2: I can do brawl. I can do....
00:30:00
Speaker 6: Um, I, um, technique style, whatever, who comes in, in me, I adjust.
00:30:06
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:30:07
Speaker 4: You grew up in the Philippines. So, obviously, Manny Pacman, yeah.
00:30:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
00:30:11
Speaker 2: I've been on the card of Pacquiao's, uh, two times.
00:30:14
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:30:15
Speaker 6: I fought here in Timberville Arena. I win Knockout of the Year of Delphi, as you see.
00:30:21
Speaker 1: Right.
00:30:22
Speaker 6: And then that was 2021 when he fight about August.
00:30:25
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah. So you looking to turn the lights out of the building. When you go into the ring, you ain't trying to go to the judges' cars. You trying to make no doubt about it. You getting your hand raised before to get.
00:30:37
Speaker 4: To the judges.
00:30:38
Speaker 6: Yeah, we were trying to win every round or knockout. So win every round or the opportunity, the knockout is a bonus.
00:30:48
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Cortez is younger than you. But you would have the city, and undefeated. How motivated are you to silence him? Because, you know, hey, he's home. It's good.
00:30:57
Speaker 2: No, it's my home, too. I live here now.
00:30:59
Speaker 4: Okay, okay.
00:31:00
Speaker 2: I have a lot of properties here, so he's my home now.
00:31:04
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:31:04
Speaker 1: Las Vegas.
00:31:05
Speaker 6: So, it's good that I have my whole back, my Filipinos.
00:31:12
Speaker 1: Yes.
00:31:12
Speaker 2: They supported me here.
00:31:13
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:31:14
Speaker 2: My last previous fight, a lot of Filipinos. I'm so happy. And for this fight, for me and Cortez... Mm-hmm. He's gonna taste defeat.
00:31:22
Speaker 1: He's gonna taste defeat.
00:31:24
Speaker 2: He never fought a guy like me. Never fought a guy like me.
00:31:27
Speaker 1: More experience.
00:31:29
Speaker 6: I fight Darryl Russell Jr. The longest reigning champion in WBC. And then we fought hard and I win.
00:31:38
Speaker 1:
Yeah.
00:31:39
Speaker 2: I fought good fighters.
00:31:40
Speaker 3: I don't want to go too far in advance before this fight starts. But you're very confident that you're gonna win this fight. I'm confident that you're gonna win this fight. I've watched you fight before. Very skillful, very good. After this fight, who is somebody you'd like to see next? And I don't mean to ask about future opponents, but I'm just curious. Is there anybody that's on your radar?
00:32:04
Speaker 6: I'm aiming the belt, the Zuba belt.
00:32:07
Speaker 2: I think Rayo. We're going to fight Rayo. After this fight, we're going to fight Rayo.
00:32:11
Speaker 1: He's good.
00:32:11
Speaker 2: He's good. He's strong. I like it. The stronger, the better.
00:32:15
Speaker 4: That would be a good fight. Did you always want to be a fighter?
00:32:19
Speaker 1: Always. Here. From a kid?
00:32:24
Speaker 2: I started boxing at eight.
00:32:26
Speaker 5: At eight?
00:32:26
Speaker 2: Eight years old. I inspired training.
00:32:29
Speaker 6: I inspired training because of Pacquiao.
00:32:34
Speaker 1: Right.
00:32:34
Speaker 4: Pacquiao, he's a hero in the Philippines.
00:32:37
Speaker 1: He's a hero.
00:32:38
Speaker 2: He's a hero in the Philippines. He's a legend.
00:32:40
Speaker 1: You ever met Pacquiao? You ever talked to him?
00:32:42
Speaker 2: No, we talked. I undercut his fight.
00:32:45
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:32:46
Speaker 2: When I'm undercutting his fight, it's a dream come true.
00:32:49
Speaker 1: Wow.
00:32:50
Speaker 2: Before, I was just a kid looking up him. Hero.
00:32:55
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:32:56
Speaker 2: Watching him in the TV. Yeah. Now, I'm one of his undercut before.
00:33:00
Speaker 4: Wow.
00:33:01
Speaker 2: Didn't come true.
00:33:01
Speaker 1: Hey, the guy you fight and he's undefeated, is being undefeated kind of overrated in boxing?
00:33:09
Speaker 6: Yeah, he has a lot of fight of cherry pick.
00:33:13
Speaker 1: Oh, you chain-picked his opponent.
00:33:16
Speaker 6: I saw a lot of fights. The losses are a lot.
00:33:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:33:20
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:33:21
Speaker 2: I never fought a guy.
00:33:22
Speaker 4: He fought nobody like you, though.
00:33:24
Speaker 1: Right, right.
00:33:24
Speaker 6: More experience. Right.
00:33:26
Speaker 2: And I fight a good fighter, a.
00:33:28
Speaker 6: Good Mexican fighter, knockout artist, a brawler, like Pegueroa, like Vargas, like Gary Russell, Julio Ceja.
00:33:35
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:33:35
Speaker 2: They're a good fighter.
00:33:36
Speaker 6: And then I win. Some of them I lost because of my... Dehydration, but no excuses.
00:33:46
Speaker 4: There's no rehydration in this fight, right?
00:33:48
Speaker 2: No rehydration. Now, I'm comfortable in my weight.
00:33:51
Speaker 1: 135 pounds.
00:33:53
Speaker 6: Now I'm 136, I can eat, I can train. After tomorrow, let's wait and then eat.
00:33:58
Speaker 1: So what's your walk-around weight? What do you normally walk?
00:34:01
Speaker 2: My normal walking weight, like 146, 147.
00:34:03
Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
00:34:05
Speaker 1: So you don't have to really tax your body to make weight because you're walking around sub-150 and trying to make 135. So eight weeks is a breeze for you.
00:34:14
Speaker 6: 12 pounds over, 12 pounds, and then when I train, 9 pounds. And then when I cut my carbs, I like rice.
00:34:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:34:20
Speaker 6: And when I cut my carbs, the weight go down.
00:34:25

Speaker 3: He a volume puncher, too.
00:35:20
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:35:21
Speaker 3: Or a shitload of punches around.
00:35:22
Speaker 1: Yeah. Is that typical for them Filipino kind of— The smaller you are, most of the time, yeah. Because I know Pacquiao, he— The smaller you are, the more punches you go.
00:35:28
Speaker 3: The more punches you throw around.
00:35:29
Speaker 4: Because look at it.
00:35:31
Speaker 1: You don't need a whole lot of oxygen to fuel that body. Right. You start getting on up there 168, 175, 205. It's a little different. And you better save some of that. You better save some of that.
00:35:42
Speaker 3: You'll punch yourself out.
00:35:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, be out of the game. And you go anaerobic in there, don't worry about it. It won't be long. We got Ryan Garcia coming on at 2.30.
00:35:59
Speaker 4: I sat down with Ryan.
00:36:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, what
did he say?
00:36:01
Speaker 1: Man, he was out of his mind. He's talking crazy about everybody. Talking crazy about Shakur.
00:36:06
Speaker 4: Talking crazy about Bud.
00:36:08
Speaker 1: Bud, yeah.
00:36:09
Speaker 4: Talking crazy about Ben. Talking crazy. And before, I was like.
00:36:14
Speaker 1: I wonder what Ben's relationship is to Nigel, Ben. Because I remember his dad is a dark destroyer. I remember him fighting. I said, I wonder what relationship that he is. And come to find out, and he says, hey, he didn't know that was his dad until he was like 16. 16. That's crazy. And then he started fighting. That's been in him, and he didn't know why. Yeah. That's crazy.
00:36:36
Speaker 3: That's a great story, too. That's a great story.
00:36:39
Speaker 4: This move is real good.
00:36:40
Speaker 1: Here, Joe.
00:36:41
Speaker 5: Yeah?

Speaker 1: Go ahead. You got to hit what? A quick 50.
00:36:47
Speaker 4: Them dogs.
00:36:48

He trying to get that pump. He done had three hot dogs, so he tried to get it off him. Probably about 20. He ate three hot dogs, Dana. And so he tried to get it off him. He got to do 50. Hey, Dana watching, too. He trying to see what type of condition you in before he put you out there now. Breathe. Make sure you're breathing now. He need to watch your car look. Yeah, make sure you're breathing. Yeah.
00:37:31
Speaker 5: Yeah.

Speaker 4: He trying to do 100 now. He trying to show out. I mean, you got it.
00:37:38
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
00:37:40
Speaker 3: Hey, Dana, don't forget about my fight.
00:37:44
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:37:47
Speaker 3: I don't have your number.
00:37:48
Speaker 1: I got it. Okay. You're not going to give it to me. All right.
00:37:55
Speaker 3: Hey, nightcap boxing, baby. It's almost here.
00:38:00
Speaker 1: I know.
00:38:02
Speaker 3: Hey, Joe, can you imagine y'all, when I walk to the ring, y'all going to walk me out?
00:38:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's too far for me. I'll be in my chair.
00:38:09
Speaker 1: Man, I walk no farther than I have to walk. They already, hey, they see me walking out there limping. They like, yeah, he about to get choked up.
00:38:26
Speaker 3: Boy, I feel good, right?
00:38:30
Speaker 1: Man, little dude look ferocious. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I still can't get over the Nigerian dude, man.
00:38:40
Speaker 3: Basketball, football.
00:38:43
Speaker 1: I'm looking at him, Joe. I'm like, man, this man look like a basketball player. Yeah, yeah. Man, I played every sport. But when you that tall, you got power. Because you can generate power. Mm-hmm.
00:38:57
Speaker 4: Genetics, bro. You know who he kind of built like?
00:39:01
Speaker 6: Who?
00:39:01
Speaker 1: You remember Michael Grant, the heavyweight?
00:39:03
Speaker 3: Michael Grant. Michael Grant.
00:39:05
Speaker 1: I remember the name. He ended up losing to Lennox. But he was like 6'7. But when you got that kind of height and you can put that kind of power, generate that kind of power behind it.
00:39:19
Speaker 4: Yeah. That's why I'm trying to tell Ojo, man.
00:39:21
Speaker 1: I don't know why he started barking up that tree.
00:39:23
Speaker 6: Who?
00:39:24
Speaker 3: Joe, you heard the first thing he said?
00:39:25
Speaker 2: What?
00:39:25
Speaker 1: What'd he say?
00:39:26
Speaker 3: When he was sitting here before he got up?
00:39:28
Speaker 1: What'd he say?
00:39:28
Speaker 3: Where that boy Ocho could box. You hear me?
00:39:31
Speaker 4: But he said he was a chain suspect.
00:39:33
Speaker 1: He did say he was a chain suspect.
00:39:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's... That don't mean nothing.
00:39:37
Speaker 1: And we really are two different weight classes, but since you've been running your mouth... No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:39:41
Speaker 3: I don't care about weight class because my hand's registered, Joe.
00:39:43
Speaker 1: Okay, all right.
00:39:45
Speaker 3: If I was to hit you right now, you could get me sent to jail.
00:39:50
Speaker 1: Because your hand's registered?
00:39:51
Speaker 3: You know I'm licensed, Joe. I had to be licensed over the box.
00:39:55
Speaker 1: Why this man think he gonna be able to get off on me?
00:39:57
Speaker 3: All right, he done told you already, Joe. I ain't gonna say nothing else to him.
00:40:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. Joe, you eatin' a hot dog too?
00:40:07
Speaker 3: I don't... Hey, hey.
00:40:09
Speaker 1: Jordan done had him cut up a hot dog and put it between two... It's a sandwich. A hot dog is not a sandwich. I don't care what nobody say.
00:40:19
Speaker 3: Who ordered them hot dogs? Hey, thank you. All three of them shits was good.
00:40:25
Speaker 1: Chad, I'm sorry, Chad. Damn.
00:40:28
Speaker 4: Nah, I'm Gucci, bro. I'm straight.
00:40:30
Speaker 1: I'm straight.
00:40:30
Speaker 3: Hey, ask him how dog is good, bro.
00:40:32
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm going to hit him. I'm going to hit Dana. Might go gambling. Dana going to be in the high rolling. You're going to have to bring about 10 bands with you, if not more. Dana don't come in there with no band. Dana get Marker. I don't want no Marker.
00:40:52
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, because you're going to end up owing.
00:40:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I'll hold the bargain. Whatever I come with by losing, I'm good. You know what he said? Whatever you're comfortable with losing. I'm only comfortable losing a couple of thousand. Yeah. Maybe five. Five, I'm still going to be able to sleep comfortably. Yeah. Boy, I'll be mad. Boy, I'll tell my own damn house I lose.
00:41:13
Speaker 4: 50, 100 bands.
00:41:16
Speaker 1: But, man, it's been amazing right here to sit down and talk to the guys. It has, man. Everybody look like, like I said, the last guy was like, hey, he walks around,
and that's what I tell people about Floyd.
00:41:28
Speaker 4: Floyd is not a naturally big man.
00:41:29
Speaker 1: So Floyd making 147, Floyd walking around at 150, 152. Yep, yep. That's who do remind you of, because Floyd discipline like that too. You know, the way he don't do none of that party, smoke. I mean, well, he'll party, but he ain't going to drink or nothing. He'll go, and then he'll leave there and go straight to the gym.
00:41:47
Speaker 6: Yep.
00:41:49
Speaker 1: You got to appreciate that. I've enjoyed it because we get a chance to see it from a boxer's point of view and the things that they think about, you know, going into the ring, being in the ring. After your game plan don't work and you get hit, you know what I mean? After you bounce back, you're mentally strong. So, for me, I've had a pleasure, man. I've had a pleasure to interview some of these cats, and I can't wait to see them. I can't wait to see them fight on Saturday. Malik Nabors made it clear that his decision if he'll play on Sunday is his. He said he feels confident overall, but the game isn't different, and he wants to make sure he's not rushing. At the end of the day, it's my career, it's my body, and I know when I'm able to play. Take your time, Malik. Sure do.
00:42:34
Speaker 3: But I don't understand what all that mean.
00:42:36
Speaker 1: That means that he's going to make a decision on if he's ready to play. If he don't feel like he's ready to go out there and compete and be able to help the team win, he ain't going out there. He's not going to let the team rush him back out there. And if we just keeping it 100, the man ain't going to be ready week one. Now, he, you know.
00:42:51
Speaker 3: Hey, talking like that, yeah. Because normally, if you're ready, you got one word answers. I'm going to see you all Sunday.
00:42:58
Speaker 1: I ain't got to say nothing. You'll see me out there on Sunday.
00:43:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, he not ready. Yeah, take your time, young fella. Hey, I'll tell you one thing. Old number three going to go over there and handle that thing, though. He going to be all right.
00:43:09
Speaker 1: Oh, he going to get some catches.
00:43:11
Speaker 3: Nah, we need new catches.
00:43:12
Speaker 1: You act like Odell for to go out.
00:43:14
Speaker 3: There and go for 150. Joe, he has to be the focal point. He's the only one you can trust. Outside of Darnell Mooney, and Darnell Mooney's not an outside guy. He's an inside guy. So that means Malik's neighbor spot has to be done and taken over by Odell.
00:43:27
Speaker 1: Man.
00:43:27
Speaker 3: I'm telling you. Watch. Now, don't be surprised Odell have 100 and some change and a touchdown now. I said it first.
00:43:35
Speaker 1: All I know is I'm mad at Yahoo for giving me him. Who?
00:43:39
Speaker 3: You mean Odell?
00:43:41
Speaker 4: Malik Nables. No, y'all who picked him.
00:43:43
Speaker 1: Who you would have got? I don't know. I wouldn't have taken him. If you notice, I didn't take anybody that was coming off injury.
00:43:53
Speaker 4: Too risky.
00:43:54
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:43:56
Speaker 4: Too risky.
00:43:58
Speaker 1: Mike, they did something. They got us in what you call the pick. Got me picking last. Yeah, I felt I should have had top three pick to keep it 100.
00:44:09
Speaker 3: Actually, technically, it really don't matter where you pick if you know what you're doing when it's time to pick.
00:44:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right.
00:44:13
Speaker 3: It's FYI.
00:44:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
00:44:14
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you.
00:44:15
Speaker 4: All right, we're going to see.
00:44:18
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is going to get me off to a great start tonight when he throws for four touchdowns. And two, I'm going to beat a Pucco.
00:44:25
Speaker 3: Wait, four touchdowns against the 49ers defense? Yeah.
00:44:28
Speaker 1: And two, I'm going to beat a Pucco.
00:44:30
Speaker 3: If it was week 10 and week 11, then I would agree with you.
00:44:33
Speaker 1: Don't you worry about what my team is going to do. You worry about your team getting beat by Tampa at home.
00:44:37
Speaker 2: Okay.
00:44:38
Speaker 3: You think we gonna lose? I should go to the game.
00:44:41
Speaker 1: I don't care if y'all lose or not, as long as your guys don't do too much. You should go to what game?
00:44:46
Speaker 3: Like, leave here on the red-eye Saturday and go to Cincinnati. Because I land, if I leave here on the red-eye, I land in Cincinnati, what, 6 in the morning, call the Bengals for a ticket, watch the game, and go back to do nightcap in Cincinnati, Tuesday off, fly back to Miami.
00:45:08
Speaker 4: Well, good luck with that. Hey, hey.
00:45:12
Speaker 3: Hey, let's stay here. Let's go to the Raiders-Dolphins game. We already in Vegas.
00:45:18
Speaker 4: I know. Ocho, I don't know the Raiders.
00:45:21
Speaker 1: I know them.
00:45:22
Speaker 3: I know Mr.
00:45:22
Speaker 6: Davis.
00:45:24
Speaker 1: I get it.

00:46:15
Speaker 3: Tarver in town?
00:46:16
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:46:17
Speaker 1: Because he hit me last night talking about he wanted to.
00:46:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, he told me the same thing. He told me, oh, I'm not even here.
00:46:22
Speaker 1: How you talking about you want to be on and you ain't even here?
00:46:26
Speaker 3: That's what he told me.
00:46:28
Speaker 4: Let me see.
00:46:33
Speaker 3: I need to hit another 50.
00:46:49
Speaker 4: You send that to Rhea?
00:46:49
Speaker 1: What?
00:46:51
Speaker 4: You send that to Rhea?
00:46:51
Speaker 1: What? What you sent me in my DM. That explains it. Yeah.
00:47:01
Speaker 4: We good.
00:47:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. Whatever y'all talking about.
00:47:09
Speaker 1: But it ain't going to be the same.
00:47:17
Speaker 4: What we got to talk? What y'all want to talk about?
00:47:21
Speaker 3: I want some more hot dogs.
00:47:23
Speaker 1: Man, ain't nobody.
00:47:24
Speaker 4: They got a hot.
00:47:30
Speaker 1: Dog.
00:47:34
Speaker 5: Huh?
00:47:34
Speaker 1: I saw people walking down there with floaties in the... No.
00:47:40
Speaker 4: No, absolutely not.
00:47:47
Speaker 1: No.
00:47:47
Speaker 4: Hell no. Man, you know what?
00:47:54
Speaker 1: I hope... What did.
00:47:56
Speaker 4: We see last time?
00:47:57
Speaker 1: We went.
00:48:00
Speaker 4: To the fight.
00:48:00
Speaker 1: We saw Bax Holloway. He was fighting somebody, and all he did was get Oliveira.
00:48:05
Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
00:48:06
Speaker 1: And all Olivera did was take him down. I hope we don't get those fights like that, Joe, where it was all hype. Like, oh, yeah, we're going to see some action. And we don't see no action.
00:48:16
Speaker 5: No.
00:48:16
Speaker 1: But I definitely think Conor and Garcia are going to be some action. Yeah, absolutely. And the little guy that just came on, yeah. It's going to be some action. With them first couple rounds, they're going to be fill-outs. You got to, they ain't coming out swinging like Tyson.
00:48:32
Speaker 3: That's why I asked Con, I said, what version are we, I mean, what version are we going to get? You going to come out guns a-blazing, or you going to come out methodical and feel him out the first couple rounds?
00:48:42
Speaker 1: Because I'm matching his energy. Yeah, so they're going to come out, they're going to finish him.
00:48:47
Speaker 3: And Ryan, Ryan like to be the aggressive sometimes. When he fought, that's how he made that mistake against Tank.
00:48:52
Speaker 1: Yes.
00:48:52
Speaker 3: Trying to be too aggressive. Walk right into something.
00:48:56
Speaker 2: Twice.
00:48:56
Speaker 1: I think he learned from those experiences, though.
You know what I mean? I think he's going to come out a little more disciplined. He'll still, you know, obviously throw that hook trying to get him out of there, but I don't got him coming out. I don't got neither one of them coming out just brawling right off dump. Probably about third round, fourth round, probably when you start seeing some guys really mixing it up. Or when the crowd, you know, sometimes the crowd get anxious, get anxious, and they be like, man, bro. They start booing. Yeah. Yeah, man. Hey, it don't take long. It don't take long. They don't want to see all that feeling out here where we are in the third or fourth round that we ain't really seen no punches. Everybody just fainting and moving around. Yeah, throwing them fangs. Nah, nah. Hey, let your hands go. We want to see people let their hands go. Yeah, yeah. It's going to be some action. They fighting right here?
00:49:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're in your gym.
00:49:50
Speaker 1: Oh, this is what I'm talking about. You know what, boy?
00:49:52
Speaker 4: You're all right with me.
00:49:53
Speaker 1: We ain't got to do no more. Come downstairs. Come on, man.
00:49:57
Speaker 4: Come on, man.
00:49:58
Speaker 1: That's it. But no, I think it's going to be an exciting fight. Like I said, I want to see the basketball player fight. I do, too. You know what? I do, too, man. I do, too. That man got 18 KOs in 19 weeks. He did. He did say he got a flat line that one time. He said, I got a flat line, so I want to see what he got. But I like that because, you know what, he's like, hey, I got stock. I got not cold. Yeah.
00:50:28
Speaker 4: He ain't try to hide.
00:50:29
Speaker 1: He ain't try to run away from it. He's like, yeah, yeah, I got 19 wins. And I got 18 knockouts and 19 wins. But, hey, nobody got the best of me.
00:50:38
Speaker 4: Too, though.
00:50:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Hey, hey, to have 18 knockouts with 19 wins? Yeah. Boy, you ain't playing. You putting pressure on me.
00:50:45
Speaker 3: All that is is also getting knocked out could be a good thing. Now I got to go to the drawing board. I got to go fix some things.
00:50:52
Speaker 1: Damn, man, I ain't trying to get knocked out. No? I want that O next to my name.
00:50:57
Speaker 3: Well, you might want to be careful over here then, Joe.
00:50:59
Speaker 2: Who, who?
00:51:00
Speaker 1: Me and you?
00:51:01
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, you say you don't want to get knocked out.
00:51:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, nah, that ain't going to happen. I'm going to keep the O next to my name, man. Okay.
00:51:08
Speaker 3: I mean, the only O you, I mean, when you spell Joe, you know, it's like, you know, J, J.
00:51:18
Speaker 1: You know?
00:51:19
Speaker 4: Okay, okay. You're going to see it.
00:51:23
Speaker 1: Because a lot of times, you know, I'm anxious to see what type of rhyme we're going to get. Because sometimes, you know, he's like real laid back, real lethargic, melancholy. And a lot of times, because I called him a couple
of weeks ago, and he was upbeat. I mean, if you guys check out the interview on Club JJ, man, he was full tilt, Joe. Yeah. Full tilt. And you know what? When I was watching that, I was wondering, was he, some of the stuff he was saying, Uncle Ocho, was he just trying to get attention? Because he was calling some cats out.
00:51:51
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
00:51:52
Speaker 1: He was like that, though, for real.
00:51:53
Speaker 3: He always been like that.
00:51:55
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:51:57
Speaker 4: But you got.
00:51:57
Speaker 1: To give him credit, though. And he's one of the few, Ocho, that he's fought a lot of people. He fought Tank. He fought Devin. He fought... Rowley.
00:52:08
Speaker 4: Rowley.
00:52:08
Speaker 1: Yeah. He's fighting Carter Bean. Hey, you can say what you want to say. He ain't ducking nobody. He ain't coming up with them excuses.
00:52:17
Speaker 9: Nope.
00:52:19
Speaker 1: He say he want to fight Tio... Say he going to fight Tio Fimo? Nope. If he does that, if he wins this fight here and fight Tio Fimo... And he beat Tio? I think it'd be a great fight. I was disappointed with Rowley. Rowley had us, man. Rowley done sold us, came on there, sold, had us, hook, line, and sinker, man.
00:52:42
Speaker 4: Told us.
00:52:43
Speaker 1: You should have been more impressed with... Who, Rowley?
00:52:48
Speaker 4: Tio Fimo.
00:52:48
Speaker 1: Tio Fimo, yeah. Yeah. Because I thought he fought a great fight.
00:52:51
Speaker 4: He did.
00:52:52
Speaker 2: Yeah. He did.
00:52:53
Speaker 4: He fought great fights.
00:52:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one round to where Roley got on, that fifth round, outside of that, that boy was coming forward the whole fight.
00:53:03
Speaker 4: And Roley didn't seem.
00:53:05
Speaker 1: Like he had, it seemed like Roley was just trying to catch him with the check. Yeah. What he called Garcia, what he called Garcia. He got a nice little check hook now. Yeah.
00:53:13
Speaker 3: Hey, that boy Roley connect, boy, you going down now.
00:53:16
Speaker 4: Oh, he heavy handed.
00:53:19
Speaker 1: But hey, it's all good though.
00:53:25
Speaker 4: We got three more.
00:53:26
Speaker 1: Hey, the game comes on in like an hour and a half after we get off, and then we got another two and a half hours. Game come on at 5? Game come on at 5. 4.35 o'clock.
00:53:35
Speaker 4: 5 o'clock?
00:53:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was.
00:53:37
Speaker 1: Hey, what time is the game tonight? What time is the game? 5.35. 5.35 or 4.35?
00:53:44
Speaker 2: 5.35?
00:53:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, 5.35.
00:53:45
Speaker 1: I'm going to get me a nap. I need me a good old 45 minutes. Good old 45 minutes. And then I'll be good. I'll be good to be able to go two and a half hours. Sonny, make sure you get your good nap in, Joe. I already know. I already know. I'll get you some espresso. I don't know if you drank coffee or the energy drink. Because I'm going to have a lot to say.
00:54:14

Speaker 1: Don't worry

Speaker 1: I'm telling you that.
00:54:19

00:54:21
Speaker 4: Oh, you think so?
00:54:22

Speaker 1: CJ? No. Who took CJ Stroud? Keytrot. Did he end up snaking me for Josh Allen? Oh, that's right. That's right. That's right. That's right.
01:07:56
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:07:56
Speaker 2: Yeah.
01:08:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, Christian got JSN.
01:08:08
Speaker 1: Yeah.
01:08:11
Speaker 2: Huh?
01:08:14
Speaker 1: Who?
01:08:14
Speaker 2: Me?
01:08:16
Speaker 1: He got CD?
01:08:18
Speaker 4: He want puka.
01:08:19
Speaker 1: He want puka? Before the game jump off? I ain't going to lie, boy. I wouldn't really mind making that trade, but, you know. Yeah, I know. I mean, can I see what he do in a couple weeks? But the thing is, when CD go out there doing his one-two, now you ain't going to want to get up on for him. You see, it might have to cost you a little extra. To get CD?
01:08:56
Speaker 4: Yep. Why you need all them Dallas players, though, Joe?
01:09:00
Speaker 1: Come on. Come on. Here you go. Here you go. See, you getting your heart involved. I didn't get CD. I got Puka. But you got the Dallas defense. You got Dak. That's all I got. Our defense is going to be solid. But you want CD. Yeah, I do want CD. But the only thing is, if I do get CD, then it's going to hurt me when they have that bye week. You know what I'm saying? Because I ain't going to have Dak or CD. That's okay. That's what you got backups for.
01:09:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, but.
01:09:31
Speaker 1: I might just keep what I got, man. You know, we'll make it work. Who your backup wide receivers? I got, what's my boy from Houston?
01:09:41
Speaker 4: Nico.
01:09:42
Speaker 1: I got Nico Collar. Yeah. The question is, best riding, not start Nico, start CD, and Nico go crazy.
01:09:50
Speaker 4: You're going to be sick.
01:09:52
Speaker 1: I got a– no. It depends on who they playing to. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
01:10:00
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
01:10:02
Speaker 1: I'm paying attention though. Because, boy, I win the fantasy football. I don't know how y'all going to get over that one.
01:10:09
Speaker 4: You're not going to win though.
01:10:10
Speaker 1: Okay. Okay. Huh? Okay. What's up, bro? What's up, baby? What's up, bro? How you doing? Yeah, for sure. What's going on, bro?
01:11:09
Speaker 4: You good?
01:11:09
Speaker 1: Yeah. Man, you done got me in trouble talking crazy on the pod. Man, I told you not to do that.
01:11:14
Speaker 7: We had fun, right?
01:11:16
Speaker 1: That is all that matter, huh?
01:11:18
Speaker 7: I had a great time.
01:11:19
Speaker 3: Listen, you were very, very comfortable before a very big fight. You're very relaxed.
01:11:24
Speaker 1: Thank you.
01:11:25
Speaker 3: Why is that?
01:11:26
Speaker 7: I think preparation is key, right?
01:11:28
Speaker 3: Yeah.
01:11:30
Speaker 9: I think I took all the necessary steps that I had to do to make me feel this confident.
01:11:36
Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
01:11:36
Speaker 7: This uh at peace obviously my.
01:11:39
Speaker 9: Faith in god always brings that sense of peace to me as well but um with the with the training camp everything went went as as it should be and that makes you feel confident you know.
01:11:51
Speaker 3: So for the naysayers for those on the outside boxing analysts pundits the casual fans that are watching they say you're not really focused on this fight you know calling out other fighters you know not showing up to a face-off what do you have to say to them I move.
01:12:07
Speaker 7: At my own sense of tune.
01:12:09
Speaker 9: I don't really move at what everybody else wants me to do. What I think is the right move is the right move. We have to see how you perform. Everybody wants to make big things out of nothing. But come fight night, I'm going to be as sharp as sharp can be, so I'm not too worried about it.
01:12:28
Speaker 3: I like it.
01:12:29
Speaker 1: You predicted an early knockout in this fight. What are you seeing technically now? that makes you so confident going into this fight?
01:12:38
Speaker 9: I mean, he looks good, you know, when he's fighting. He's explosive and whatnot. But you know when somebody's kind of a beginner in a way. He's an athletic beginner. So, you know, he's not at my, you know, level at this point. And it's not a shot at him. He just don't have a lot of experience. So we're going to make that real known for sure.
01:13:00
Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, but he's on here earlier. He said he feel very confident. He said whatever type of fight you want to.
01:13:05
Speaker 4: Fight, he ready.
01:13:06
Speaker 9: He could be confident. He could be mad, sad, happy, whatever. He's getting knocked out. So what does it matter? I don't care what he says. It's like when somebody's talking shit about to play you in a video game when you know you about to
beat his ass.
01:13:17
Speaker 1: Cool. Right. You're goofy.
01:13:19
Speaker 7: Once you get in there, you're going to lose.
01:13:20
Speaker 1: And then what? Right.
01:13:21
Speaker 7: He's just not as good at the game than me.
01:13:23
Speaker 5: Right.
01:13:24
Speaker 3: What version of Ryan Garcia are we seeing? Are you coming out aggressive? Are you going to? Come out and feel him out, feel him out the first few rounds. Set traps up in the early rounds to accomplish and execute him in later rounds. What version do you think we're going to get?
01:13:37
Speaker 9: You're going to see a violent version from the last fight. So whatever you see in the last fight is going to be more violent, Ryan Garcia. Same focus, same sharpness, but that violentness to it. is going to be amped up.
01:13:54
Speaker 1: You'll see.
01:13:55
Speaker 3: So you're setting the tone early?
01:13:57
Speaker 9: Setting the tone early. Yeah, he won't win one round. I'm not going to let him win one round.
01:14:00
Speaker 1: Damn.
01:14:00
Speaker 9: So if you're going to think I'm going to let him just control it from the start and trying to be overly aggressive, we're going to settle that boy down right away.
01:14:06
Speaker 1: Boom. Right.
01:14:08
Speaker 7: So he's not going to win a round.
01:14:09
Speaker 1: Ryan, the thing that I've given you credit for, it's like the one thing you can say about Ryan, you might not like that he be talking too much and he's not as serious as he needs to be, but you look at the fighters that you fought, you fought tanks. You fought Rowley. You fought Devin. You're fighting Connor Ben. You're taking chances that other guys always talk about, oh, I'll fight this guy anytime, anyplace, and it come down to everybody be backing away from each other. Why are you so confident that you're unafraid to fight anybody, anytime, anywhere?
01:14:39
Speaker 9: I just feel like I'm at, you know, such a high level, you know, since the amateurs.
01:14:43
Speaker 7: What's there to fear?
01:14:45
Speaker 9: You know, what's the worst thing that can happen to you? You know, lose? OK, let's see. Let's see why. Or let's see who's the best. Really, that's where it comes down to.
01:14:53
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:14:54
Speaker 9: Who's the best? You know, I want to I want to face everyone. I'm coming into my prime. I think I took those fights even when I wasn't.
01:15:04
Speaker 7: Where I needed to be.
01:15:06
Speaker 9: That's the difference, you know, but for me, I've always had that heart where when I watch an Oscar, when I also watch the Floyd Mayweather fight, when I watch the Manny Pacquiao fight, you got a certain level of intensity and excitement. I wanted to bring that to boxing. I remember that. I remember those feelings. I remember everybody gathering up in tents. I wanted to bring that back to boxing, so I took those chances. But now I'm in the driver's seat. I'm still looking for those big fights, but now I have more maturity, more understanding of what to do, what not to do.
01:15:39
Speaker 1: So is speed still important in your fighting style, or has ring intelligence become more important since?
01:15:47
Speaker 7: If you're doing things right, everything evolves.
01:15:49
Speaker 1: Right.
01:15:49
Speaker 9: You know, I'm blessed with speed, so that's one of my advantages. I just look at it as an advantage.
01:15:55
Speaker 1: Right, right.
01:15:57
Speaker 7: Everything else you got to work on.
01:15:58
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
01:15:59
Speaker 9: You know, timing, rhythm, execution, controlling distance, controlling range. I got athleticism, I got power, and I got speed that I've been blessed with.
01:16:09
Speaker 1: Yeah.
01:16:10
Speaker 7: That I don't got to worry about.
01:16:11
Speaker 2: Right.
01:16:11
Speaker 9: Everything else got to... work work together you know so it's just finding that right formula finding that right um those right notes yeah and everything comes together are we gonna.
01:16:21
Speaker 1: See the best ryan garcia that we've seen in the fight on saturday.
01:16:24
Speaker 9: Night you damn right you damn right this is how to be nasty oh my god i cannot wait they're really paying me to beat up a beginner bro.
01:16:33
Speaker 3: This is great you're paying me to beat up a beginner i got a question you say you're gonna win this fight you say he's not gonna win a round If there was a name out there that you want to see after this fight, is there somebody you can say that you would love to fight after you win this condominium fight?
01:16:51
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
01:16:52
Speaker 7: I want to unify against Teofimo Lopez.
01:16:54
Speaker 3: Teof.
01:16:55
Speaker 9: Tell you, I need that. I've always wanted to run that since the amateurs. He's the only one I didn't get to fight in the amateurs.
01:17:01
Speaker 6: Yes.
01:17:02
Speaker 9: And I remember his dad, you know, even when I would win national titles, I would hear his dad talking to other coaches. Ryan Garcia ain't got no style. Ryan Garcia, he's not really good. He's been talking shit about me since I was.
01:17:15
Speaker 7: Eight, nine.
01:17:16
Speaker 9: So you're going to really I need that. I need that more so to shut his dad up. Because I know what his dad thinks of me. I know what they think of my style. They never thought I had a style. They never thought I was going to be good. But, you know, now we meet up, and now we got to see what your son really can do against a guy that don't have style, that don't got the skills.
01:17:36
Speaker 7: I'll beat the brakes off of Teofimo, bad. I'll beat the brakes off him. Spank him. Old ass whooping.
01:17:43
Speaker 1: Pow, pow, pow.
01:17:46
Speaker 3: Ah, ah, ah.
01:17:47
Speaker 7: Crazy shit.
01:17:49
Speaker 1: You seem real comfortable. So weight's not going to be an issue this time?
01:17:54
Speaker 3: Never.
01:17:55
Speaker 9: It wasn't last time. 147, I'm really, really comfortable at. I won't say really comfortable at. Everybody got to cut weight. but it's a weight that is manageable. I'm here to reign as a 147-pound champion. We heard him saying he's moving up regardless. That tells me two things. One, he don't plan on making weight this fight, or he's setting up an excuse.
01:18:18
Speaker 7: Those are the two things I see.
01:18:21
Speaker 1: Hey, what does the public misunderstand about Ryan Garcia, bro?
01:18:27
Speaker 7: I mean, you don't get here without focus.
01:18:30
Speaker 1: Hello.
01:18:30
Speaker 6: Hello.
01:18:30
Speaker 9: You know, I'm very detailed in everything I do, from the way I box, to what I wear, to how I pose, to what I do. You know, everything's very specific. So they just kind of see me as a jokester, but it's all fun and games still.
01:18:47
Speaker 1: Until it's time to fight.
01:18:49
Speaker 7: Until it's time to really go.
01:18:50
Speaker 3: Very strategic.
01:18:51
Speaker 4: Yeah.
01:18:52
Speaker 3: Very strategic.
01:18:52
Speaker 1: Right. Best of luck, man.
01:18:55
Speaker 4: Appreciate your time, man. Appreciate the sit-down.
01:18:57
Speaker 1: We'll see you. Hey, nightcap after you win the fight.
01:19:01
Speaker 9: Yeah, nightcap.
01:19:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do it. Take some of that cognac. Yeah, we got to have a drink. You didn't have one last time.
01:19:06
Speaker 2: Bet.
01:19:16
Speaker 1: Hey, one thing he ain't lacking is no confidence. I was just going to say that. He bringing that thunder. He ain't playing. To be around him, and I got an opportunity to sit down with him. I got 75 minutes of his time a couple of weeks ago, man. He a fun dude. He opened his house up. So, Ryan, I appreciate that. You invited me and my team into your home to sit down for that interview.
