Alvarez returns to the boxing ring against Christian
00:00:56.140 --> 00:01:01.659
and Billy, but at what cost? Oleksandr Usyk moving
00:01:01.659 --> 00:01:06.569
down to Cruiserweight? Question mark. Floyd Mayweather.
00:01:07.900 --> 00:01:11.500
Ezra Wright? Question mark. A lot of stuff to
00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:15.670

on, Ezra? you know what's crazy i'm always at
00:01:30.150 --> 00:01:31.930
the same spot everything like i don't even know
00:01:31.930 --> 00:01:34.670
the parking space number that i park in when
00:01:34.670 --> 00:01:36.450
i do this show i wonder if people are starting
00:01:36.450 --> 00:01:38.769
to catch on like this guy is here every saturday
00:01:38.769 --> 00:01:42.030
on this time for a certain amount of time they
00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:43.769
are starting to catch on and we're getting the
00:01:43.769 --> 00:01:48.450
guns ready we're about to make some money and
00:01:48.450 --> 00:01:52.409
of course all the ones into the master marionette
00:01:52.409 --> 00:01:55.390
himself the producer of brush boxing my god he
00:01:55.390 --> 00:01:57.769
would be what's going on here Not much, not much.
00:01:57.829 --> 00:01:59.849
We already got the fight started. There's prelims
00:01:59.849 --> 00:02:02.170
going on YouTube. We got a busy day on the show.
00:02:03.890 --> 00:02:06.590
Ezra, just remember that if anyone does realize
00:02:06.590 --> 00:02:08.789
what you're doing there, you can't talk to them
00:02:08.789 --> 00:02:11.530
unless they're a member. That's true. This is
00:02:11.530 --> 00:02:15.659
true. I will respect the membership. Now, Ezra,
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:23.020
Canelo Alvarez is back. He's fighting in the
00:02:23.020 --> 00:02:28.120
middle of a literal war zone over in Riyadh.
00:02:28.770 --> 00:02:32.289
Saudi Arabia, I mean you guys heard me think
00:02:32.289 --> 00:02:35.409
of bombs over Riyadh, you know, it's not funny
00:02:35.629 --> 00:02:39.889
Because in all seriousness It's a lot of stuff
00:02:39.889 --> 00:02:44.039
going on in that region right now Why the hell
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.659
is this fight taking place over there? There's
00:02:46.659 --> 00:02:51.460
no logical explanation Other than you know, people
00:02:51.460 --> 00:02:52.800
don't want to waste money and people want to
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.240
make money. I guess that's the only logical explanation
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.000
I could see but the fight shouldn't be happening
00:02:58.000 --> 00:02:59.620
if you're talking about like in the grand scheme
00:02:59.620 --> 00:03:04.080
of things this is ridiculous this is uh i don't
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.900
know how we got here this to me seems like almost
00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:09.759
like if you would say this is how uh it came
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:13.020
this is how this whole saudi boxing experience
00:03:13.020 --> 00:03:16.080
this is like the ultimate conclusion of it kind
00:03:16.310 --> 00:03:18.729
of feels like that in a way yeah it shouldn't
00:03:18.729 --> 00:03:23.110
happen we shouldn't be doing this it's very ironic
00:03:23.110 --> 00:03:31.139
that um boxing And sport was being used to sports
00:03:31.139 --> 00:03:35.680
wash the Saudi reputation. And now it's being
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:42.000
used to sports wash the horrors that's going
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.000
on in the region. Yeah. You know, it's like they're
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.400
leaning on us again. Hey, look, here's this sport
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.560
event. It must be safe over here. Come visit
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:55.219
Riyadh. Yeah. You know, there was like a report
00:03:55.219 --> 00:03:57.469
that like, you know, they had a... stop two missiles
00:03:57.469 --> 00:03:58.810
that were heading in that direction supposedly
00:03:58.810 --> 00:04:01.669
and uh i posted the poster for don't look up
00:04:01.669 --> 00:04:05.270
because the plot of don't look up it's it keeps
00:04:05.270 --> 00:04:09.069
resurfacing is that you know literally don't
00:04:09.069 --> 00:04:11.110
look up in this one event but everything is just
00:04:11.110 --> 00:04:13.969
like ignore these obvious things that are happening
00:04:13.969 --> 00:04:16.029
and just try to continue with life as normal
00:04:16.029 --> 00:04:17.889
while these horrible things are happening around
00:04:17.889 --> 00:04:21.939
you yeah it just doesn't make any sense to me
00:04:21.939 --> 00:04:28.939
but the fight is happening the car is underway
00:04:29.420 --> 00:04:35.319
you have had a lot to say about the return of
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.600
Canelo Alvarez it's no secret and you said it
Load full transcript
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.199
from the beginning that you're going with Christian
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:43.649
and Billy to beat him it's no secret I'm going
00:04:43.649 --> 00:04:45.689
with Canelo Alvarez to beat Christian and Billy
00:04:45.689 --> 00:04:49.589
we are on opposite sides of this so you know
00:04:49.589 --> 00:04:52.209
we're not breaking the news by saying that but
00:04:52.209 --> 00:04:59.040
during fight week what if anything have you seen
00:04:59.610 --> 00:05:03.610
from your guys christian and billy that would
00:05:03.610 --> 00:05:08.149
further uh buttress your opinion that christian
00:05:08.149 --> 00:05:11.410
and billy is gonna beat canelo i wouldn't say
00:05:11.410 --> 00:05:13.230
anything's further i mean he looks in great shape
00:05:13.230 --> 00:05:14.949
but when is christian billy not looking great
00:05:14.949 --> 00:05:17.050
shape so i don't think anything's further i seen
00:05:17.050 --> 00:05:18.870
you know someone post like oh he looks scared
00:05:18.870 --> 00:05:20.990
or whatever and you know i don't i don't know
00:05:20.990 --> 00:05:22.769
what the hell to make of any of that stuff and
00:05:22.769 --> 00:05:24.569
one thing i will say is canelo looks in fantastic
00:05:24.569 --> 00:05:28.680
shape he looks uh in great great shape so That
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.300
would be one thing in the positive maybe for
00:05:30.300 --> 00:05:32.720
Canelo. But I don't see, nothing changed my mind
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.879
or made me even go further into, oh, and Billy's
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:36.579
going to win this fight, other than just the
00:05:36.579 --> 00:05:42.860
past evidence of Canelo's career. So the reason
00:05:42.860 --> 00:05:44.920
why you're picking Billy is not because of Billy,
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:48.370
but because of Canelo? Well, I mean, it's always
00:05:48.370 --> 00:05:50.129
going to be a mixture of both. But yeah, I mean,
00:05:50.170 --> 00:05:51.870
a lot of it is with Canelo. If this was prime
00:05:51.870 --> 00:05:55.660
Canelo, I would pick Canelo. This was... Canelo
00:05:55.660 --> 00:05:57.560
that fought Smith, I'd pick Canelo. This was
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.000
Canelo that fought Plant, I'd pick Canelo. That
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.600
part I'm open about. I get why people are saying
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:05.100
Canelo's going to win this fight. I get it as
00:06:05.100 --> 00:06:08.790
far as what Canelo has been able to do at one
00:06:08.790 --> 00:06:10.709
point of his career. Yeah, I get that this is
00:06:10.709 --> 00:06:13.709
an opponent that he would have found shots and
00:06:13.709 --> 00:06:16.850
been devastating in the fight. But the problem,
00:06:16.970 --> 00:06:19.730
what I'm saying is the problem is it's not that
00:06:19.730 --> 00:06:22.490
Canelo. And I think that sometimes with the stars,
00:06:22.709 --> 00:06:25.110
just get used to just kind of... hey that guy's
00:06:25.110 --> 00:06:27.089
gonna win just because i've been seeing him for
00:06:27.089 --> 00:06:29.149
a long time he's been he's been one of the top
00:06:29.149 --> 00:06:31.149
guys for a long time and i'm just counting that
00:06:31.149 --> 00:06:33.189
that's performance is going to consistently happen
00:06:33.189 --> 00:06:36.310
um and and that's where you get these kind of
00:06:36.310 --> 00:06:39.709
upsets is because so so in your in your most
00:06:39.709 --> 00:06:45.740
valid opinion shout out my guy mbo alcud um when
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:50.389
did canelo stop being canelo i mean i think that
00:06:50.389 --> 00:06:52.990
canelo's been on decline pretty obviously uh
00:06:52.990 --> 00:06:56.110
since the john ryder fight I think the Ryder
00:06:56.110 --> 00:06:57.949
fight was a fight that he should have got that
00:06:57.949 --> 00:06:59.629
guy out of. Like, if we're talking about guys
00:06:59.629 --> 00:07:01.889
that were made for him to get out of there and
00:07:01.889 --> 00:07:04.629
look devastating against, Ryder's that guy. And
00:07:04.629 --> 00:07:08.129
that didn't happen. And then you go on a list
00:07:08.129 --> 00:07:10.410
of guys that have continuously been guys that
00:07:10.410 --> 00:07:11.490
he should have got out of there, should have
00:07:11.490 --> 00:07:12.889
looked devastating against, and he just didn't
00:07:12.889 --> 00:07:17.350
look that. Berlanga, Munguia. And, like, I understand
00:07:17.350 --> 00:07:18.730
the Skull Fight. One thing I understand about
00:07:18.730 --> 00:07:20.649
the Skull Fight, Skull moved. But, I mean, what
00:07:20.649 --> 00:07:22.790
the hell did it look like? Like, I know he usually
00:07:22.790 --> 00:07:24.470
looks stuck in the mud, but he looked absolutely
00:07:24.470 --> 00:07:26.410
stuck in the mud in that fight. Like, absolutely.
00:07:26.569 --> 00:07:29.129
Like, I can't even get close to you. Now, you're
00:07:29.129 --> 00:07:30.569
not doing anything, so I'm going to win a decision
00:07:30.569 --> 00:07:32.649
here, but I can't even do anything to, like,
00:07:32.670 --> 00:07:34.990
try to cut you off. Like, not one thing. Like,
00:07:34.990 --> 00:07:37.129
he was stuck in the mud. Now, the performances
00:07:37.129 --> 00:07:38.689
that we say, oh, like, we look pretty damn good
00:07:38.689 --> 00:07:40.629
in that, like the Charlo fight. Like, you know,
00:07:40.689 --> 00:07:43.410
he drops Charlo. Charlo's undersized. That's
00:07:43.410 --> 00:07:46.990
what that is. Do I think that if Canelo was a
00:07:46.990 --> 00:07:48.970
little bit more fresher and he had got Charlo?
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:52.100
before, right? I think he probably would do way
00:07:52.100 --> 00:07:53.519
more damage to him. But that's what I'm saying
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.199
is that he's not able to have these performances
00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:59.259
that we keep expecting from him against a competition
00:07:59.259 --> 00:08:01.800
that isn't that great and really styles made
00:08:01.800 -->
00:08:04.459
for him. And it's just because of a decline.
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:06.660
It's just because he's not as sharp. There was
00:08:06.660 --> 00:08:08.920
one thing that Beardsmith said about his power.
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.500
It was really smart. He said that his power is
00:08:11.500 --> 00:08:14.399
his timing, right? Like he catches you when you
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.319
don't see it. He catches you when you don't expect
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.459
it. He catches you when you're missing and that
00:08:18.459 --> 00:08:21.449
increases his power. If that goes away, if his
00:08:21.449 --> 00:08:23.769
timing's off, then his power starts to go away.
00:08:24.149 --> 00:08:27.110
That's 100 % true. He doesn't have, like, ooh,
00:08:27.189 --> 00:08:29.589
I'm going to hit you. I disagree. I don't think
00:08:29.589 --> 00:08:35.279
his timing's off. I think you have the right
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:39.100
idea, but you landed the plane in the ocean.
00:08:39.700 --> 00:08:42.960
I think what it is is not that his timing is
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:50.039
off. It's that he's a little bit slower. So they
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:53.879
can see it coming. That's not his timing. That's
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:58.700
just he's a little bit slower. No, that's not
00:08:58.700 --> 00:09:00.899
the same as timing. It is. It is the timing.
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:02.879
It's not the same as timing. No, no, it is the
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.179
same as timing because this is what they always
00:09:05.179 --> 00:09:07.840
talk about. It's not. Well, let me explain. As
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.039
a former boxer, I'm telling you it's not. I know.
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.539
Let me explain. When you get older, one thing
00:09:12.539 --> 00:09:14.080
happens when guys get older. And let's say you
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.700
take a gap in your career before last time you
00:09:16.700 --> 00:09:19.740
fought, right? And you go to the gym. right and
00:09:19.740 --> 00:09:21.879
you haven't been in the ring a long time and
00:09:22.299 --> 00:09:24.399
you go you go to the you go to the gym and go
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.320
and hit the pads your speed is safe it slows
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:30.240
down a lot of times guys don't catch that right
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.139
as far as just training hitting the pads because
00:09:32.139 --> 00:09:34.000
the the guy that's holding the mitts is making
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:35.799
up for that speed so you still feel like i'm
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:37.340
still catching at the right spot but you're not
00:09:37.340 --> 00:09:39.299
the guy is catching you faster than you're catching
00:09:39.299 --> 00:09:41.399
him or he's coming down more than you used to
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:43.139
right and you're not you don't see it then when
00:09:43.139 --> 00:09:45.139
you get to a fight and your your speed's off
00:09:45.139 --> 00:09:46.940
and you're so throws your timing off because
00:09:46.940 --> 00:09:49.250
you say oh i would usually land that but something's
00:09:49.250 --> 00:09:51.289
off it's i'm not my timing's off so then your
00:09:51.289 --> 00:09:53.830
brain starts second guessing your timing because
00:09:53.830 --> 00:09:56.009
you're the speed that you used to have that when
00:09:56.009 --> 00:09:57.429
you used to set up the timing when you would
00:09:57.429 --> 00:09:59.409
usually say oh he's here i'm going to respond
00:09:59.409 --> 00:10:01.929
at this point is off and once that throne's off
00:10:01.929 --> 00:10:04.129
your brain starts to say you start to doubt yourself
00:10:04.129 --> 00:10:05.850
you start holding back what you're going to do
00:10:05.850 --> 00:10:07.590
you're not you're not reacting anymore you're
00:10:07.590 --> 00:10:08.870
not just fighting now you're in your head yeah
00:10:08.870 --> 00:10:11.330
but canelo hasn't reached that point at all well
00:10:11.330 --> 00:10:13.450
let me connect what can i say but the one thing
00:10:13.450 --> 00:10:15.970
he has reached is that we're ever going to talk
00:10:15.970 --> 00:10:19.320
yes go ahead You're right. You're correct. You
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:21.779
know what? I'm going to listen. This is an open
00:10:21.779 --> 00:10:23.639
dialogue here. So, yes, I'm going to listen.
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:27.629
What I'm saying is that maybe they can see the
00:10:27.629 --> 00:10:30.990
shots coming, so they can break for it and take
00:10:30.990 --> 00:10:33.350
the shot better. But he's not missing the shots
00:10:33.350 --> 00:10:37.610
that he used to take. He's still hitting them
00:10:37.610 --> 00:10:40.409
the way that he knocked down Belanga. He knocked
00:10:40.409 --> 00:10:45.169
down Munguia. He knocked down Charlo. He's knocking
00:10:45.169 --> 00:10:51.169
these guys down. The problem is he just hasn't
00:10:51.169 --> 00:10:54.190
finished them the way that he used to. And if
00:10:54.190 --> 00:10:58.559
we're being honest, was Canelo ever that really
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.799
good of a finisher? Never an elite finisher,
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:06.440
no. Yeah, so he was never that. But he could
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:11.879
get a decision, a wild decision, against all
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.870
of these guys with no problem. So the decline
00:11:14.870 --> 00:11:16.509
that you're seeing, I don't think the decline
00:11:16.509 --> 00:11:19.330
is as massive as you make it seem because he
00:11:19.330 --> 00:11:22.970
is still getting dominating victories over these
00:11:22.970 --> 00:11:26.730
guys. And I think today is going to be no exception.
00:11:27.110 --> 00:11:30.330
He's going to get a dominating victory over Christian
00:11:30.330 --> 00:11:34.830
and Billy. Okay. I mean, like I said, I understand
00:11:34.830 --> 00:11:39.000
the logic. I'm just saying is I do think it's
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:40.340
a timing issue. But one thing that you said,
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:42.710
you knocked all
these guys down. I agree. And
00:11:42.710 --> 00:11:44.629
he knocked them all down early when he was freshest,
00:11:44.649 --> 00:11:46.149
right? So that's when he was at his fastest.
00:11:46.429 --> 00:11:47.970
That was when he was at his speed. Now, when
00:11:47.970 --> 00:11:49.809
his second half, we know that he declined. We
00:11:49.809 --> 00:11:52.629
all know that. And it's been a bigger decline
00:11:52.629 --> 00:11:54.289
than usual. Because we know that Canelo's, like,
00:11:54.309 --> 00:11:55.870
always never been really, like, a second -half
00:11:55.870 --> 00:11:58.529
fighter. But it was a bigger decline than usual.
00:11:58.750 --> 00:12:01.909
And he's starting to push punches. And he is
00:12:01.909 --> 00:12:05.330
not moving away from punches as he once did,
00:12:05.409 --> 00:12:08.470
at the best point as he once did. And what I'm
00:12:08.470 --> 00:12:10.269
saying is I get you that he is beating these
00:12:10.269 --> 00:12:12.580
guys. But beating Berlinga by decision is not
00:12:12.580 --> 00:12:15.019
overly impressive for a world championship level
00:12:15.019 --> 00:12:18.120
fighter. Beating Munguia by decision to me is
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.240
not overly impressive for a world championship
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:23.620
level fighter. And beating undersized Charlo,
00:12:23.779 --> 00:12:26.559
being scolded, didn't throw a punch in the fight.
00:12:26.820 --> 00:12:29.879
Yeah, okay, yes, he's beating those guys. But
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:32.519
those guys versus other top competition in the
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:35.320
division are getting destroyed. We're getting
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:37.200
destroyed. So you can't just eliminate that.
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:38.879
You can't just say, oh, well, that's just the
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:40.960
way he fights. No, no, no. I mean, they're getting
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.700
destroyed. They're getting obliterated. It doesn't
00:12:43.700 --> 00:12:49.159
matter. It doesn't matter. Because Manny Pacquiao
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:54.100
destroyed Oscar De La Hoya. Floyd Mayweather
00:12:54.100 --> 00:12:57.279
got a decision against him. Manny Pacquiao destroyed
00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:00.559
Ricky Hatton. Floyd Mayweather had to stop him
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:05.029
late. Okay? It's just a different style of fighter
00:13:05.029 --> 00:13:08.809
that doesn't mean that all of a sudden all this
00:13:08.809 --> 00:13:12.110
guy He's declined so much or this guy so much
00:13:12.110 --> 00:13:14.309
better because he stopped the guy that canella
00:13:14.309 --> 00:13:16.830
went to this with that doesn't matter That's
00:13:16.830 --> 00:13:20.509
just that's just that's just stylistic No, no,
00:13:20.529 --> 00:13:22.669
it's not stylistic. And it's a bad example because
00:13:26.009 --> 00:13:29.250
I mean, we got to be able to know that that was
00:13:29.250 --> 00:13:32.429
a drained. Yeah. And you know what? The egg of
00:13:32.429 --> 00:13:34.669
Belanga, that for Hamza Shiraz, is not the same
00:13:34.669 --> 00:13:38.470
egg of Belanga that for Canelo. Oh, I think it
00:13:38.470 --> 00:13:41.409
was. What would be the difference? The difference
00:13:41.409 --> 00:13:44.370
was Canelo cracked that egg, put him on his ass.
00:13:44.590 --> 00:13:46.190
Oh, he cracked that egg. He cracked that yolk.
00:13:46.789 --> 00:13:49.389
Once that egg gets cracked, it's a lot easier.
00:13:49.889 --> 00:13:55.139
Come on, man. You gotta crack the egg. You didn't
00:13:55.139 --> 00:13:56.899
crack the egg. What are you talking about? It
00:13:56.899 --> 00:14:01.460
was a decision. He put him on his back pocket.
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:03.700
What do you mean? One time. And if you look,
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.480
Berlanga's not out of it. He's not even close
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.580
to being finished. Bro, Berlanga started doing
00:14:08.580 --> 00:14:10.899
the monkey with the symbol thing. That's where
00:14:10.899 --> 00:14:14.759
we saw that debut at. What do you mean? That's
00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:16.860
an insane thing to say that Canelo cracked the
00:14:16.860 --> 00:14:18.690
egg of Berlanga. He did. When he didn't even
00:14:18.690 --> 00:14:20.789
get out of it. And he dropped him really on a
00:14:20.789 --> 00:14:22.409
flash knockdown. I mean, let's be honest with
00:14:22.409 --> 00:14:24.269
it. It wasn't like, oh, he's almost out. He's
00:14:24.269 --> 00:14:25.830
almost out of his feet. It wasn't even like that.
00:14:26.429 --> 00:14:28.169
As soon as Berlinga hit the ground, he knew exactly
00:14:28.169 --> 00:14:29.750
where he was at. He just hit like, oh, I got
00:14:29.750 --> 00:14:31.850
caught. So there's no way because they cracked
00:14:31.850 --> 00:14:35.230
the egg. So that's ridiculous. That was ridiculous.
00:14:35.389 --> 00:14:37.889
Also, the hand that fought Packer wasn't even
00:14:37.889 --> 00:14:41.419
the same hand that fought Floyd. Wait, wait,
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.409
wait. Why wasn't it? Well, first of all, he was
00:14:44.409 --> 00:14:46.690
the hand trying to learn Floyd Mayweather's style.
00:14:47.710 --> 00:14:52.490
That was a huge flaw. Hey, Hatton, you know everything
00:14:52.490 --> 00:14:54.750
you're good at? Let's change it up. Yeah, no,
00:14:54.889 --> 00:14:57.429
I don't think that's it. But you're right. You
00:14:57.429 --> 00:14:59.309
know, styles will lead to different things. So,
00:14:59.330 --> 00:15:02.470
like, of course, Hatton's openings against Pacquiao
00:15:02.470 --> 00:15:05.529
are way more risky. But like I said, I still
00:15:05.529 --> 00:15:06.929
think that Hatton had fought Floyd was still,
00:15:06.970 --> 00:15:09.730
to me, a better fighter, maybe a fresher fighter.
00:15:09.830 --> 00:15:12.090
And actually, Floyd actually did crack the egg.
00:15:12.210 --> 00:15:14.309
So if you want to use that argument, Floyd did
00:15:14.309 --> 00:15:16.830
crack the egg with Hatton. Yeah,
he cracked the
00:15:16.830 --> 00:15:23.470
egg also. It happens. It happens. But we'll see
00:15:23.470 --> 00:15:26.970
today. You said Canelo looks to be in great shape.
00:15:27.820 --> 00:15:32.759
I think we saw the herpes is back on the lip.
00:15:33.509 --> 00:15:37.809
On Canelo. For some reason, he gets this little
00:15:37.809 --> 00:15:41.090
bump on his lip every time he's in tip -top rip
00:15:41.090 --> 00:15:45.990
shape. And I think that he... He's gonna be I
00:15:45.990 --> 00:15:51.210
was thinking about this and sometimes you know
00:15:51.210 --> 00:15:52.809
when getting these arguments you gotta get like
00:15:52.809 --> 00:15:55.110
stuck in your opinion And you start defending
00:15:55.110 --> 00:15:57.570
it to like an extreme amount. I think this is
00:15:57.570 --> 00:16:00.070
a great fight I think this is gonna be like a
00:16:00.070 --> 00:16:02.490
really back -and -forth fight I think I'm Billy's
00:16:02.490 --> 00:16:04.669
gonna get the better of it in this and I think
00:16:04.669 --> 00:16:06.950
I'm busy get the better it but I think that like
00:16:06.950 --> 00:16:09.990
At worst right like we're gonna get a really
00:16:09.990 --> 00:16:11.830
really really competitive fight. I think this
00:16:11.830 --> 00:16:14.879
might be A sneaky candidate for fight of the
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:22.350
year. I don't know about that. Well, I mean,
00:16:22.429 --> 00:16:24.509
I think it'll be knockout of the year. I don't
00:16:24.509 --> 00:16:26.409
know about fight of the year. Bro, all right,
00:16:26.409 --> 00:16:36.700
all right. If Mbili knocks out Canelo, does that
00:16:36.700 --> 00:16:39.320
automatically make a knockout of the year? If
00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:43.740
Mbili knocks out Canelo. Absolutely. Right? And
00:16:43.740 --> 00:16:45.379
if it's not the final hire, you've got to see
00:16:45.379 --> 00:16:47.789
the knockout. What do you mean? Bro, but like,
00:16:47.809 --> 00:16:50.590
is there, okay, here's the thing. The thing is,
00:16:50.610 --> 00:16:53.110
I'm interpreting Ezra's question literally. I'm
00:16:53.110 --> 00:16:56.149
not taking his question as if he knocks out Ganelo
00:16:56.149 --> 00:16:59.309
as if he stops him. I'm taking that question
00:16:59.309 --> 00:17:02.190
as if he knocks out Ganelo. Yeah, and I do think
00:17:02.190 --> 00:17:04.869
that there is something, I understand the look
00:17:04.869 --> 00:17:06.890
of it, but I also think there's something too
00:17:06.890 --> 00:17:08.670
to be like, when you crack a chin that's never
00:17:08.670 --> 00:17:11.109
been cracked. If you break a shield that's ever
00:17:11.109 --> 00:17:13.970
been broken. Right? Like, there's something to
00:17:13.970 --> 00:17:15.829
that that I think that we have to weigh in sometimes
00:17:15.829 --> 00:17:20.730
when I come here. I see the Christian and Billy
00:17:20.730 --> 00:17:23.190
Army is filling up the chat today. They are.
00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:31.440
Let's go. All right. All right. We'll do a comprehensive
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:34.099
breakdown of this in the middle of the show.
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:38.680
Let's talk the heavyweight division or the cruiserweight
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:41.299
division. I can't tell anymore because according
00:17:41.299 --> 00:17:47.869
to... Mike from Ring Magazine, he claims that
00:17:47.869 --> 00:17:52.769
Oleksandr Usyk is contemplating going back down
00:17:52.769 --> 00:17:56.910
to Cruiserweight to fight David Benavidez. And
00:17:56.910 --> 00:17:58.789
before I even ask you about it, Ezra, I just
00:17:58.789 --> 00:18:02.730
want to say this. This is one of the dumbest
00:18:02.730 --> 00:18:07.589
ideas I have ever heard in boxing. And it just
00:18:07.589 --> 00:18:11.589
shows how stupid... First of all, how stupid
00:18:11.589 --> 00:18:14.910
Mike Coffinger is for even reporting this, okay?
00:18:15.130 --> 00:18:18.369
Because I don't think it's happening. And it
00:18:18.369 --> 00:18:22.630
also shows how stupid boxing is, that this is
00:18:22.630 --> 00:18:25.809
even a story. Ezra, what's your thoughts on this
00:18:25.809 --> 00:18:29.289
whole Usyk to cruise away things to fight Benavidez?
00:18:29.710 --> 00:18:33.369
Yeah, it didn't make sense to me. Also, I would
00:18:33.369 --> 00:18:35.329
think it would be a really dumb move by Usyk,
00:18:35.430 --> 00:18:37.609
right? Because I personally don't think Usyk
00:18:37.609 --> 00:18:39.589
probably can't make it that way anymore. And
00:18:39.589 --> 00:18:43.349
not healthy, not in a healthy way. And I don't
00:18:43.349 --> 00:18:45.890
see why this fight wouldn't be, make more sense.
00:18:46.190 --> 00:18:49.509
Obviously a heavyweight. It would have the, you
00:18:49.509 --> 00:18:51.329
would, I would think that if you make this fight
00:18:51.329 --> 00:18:53.730
and you get rid of the heavyweight name to it,
00:18:53.769 --> 00:18:56.349
like it really, to me, it's a big blow of like
00:18:56.349 --> 00:18:59.809
the promotion of it all. So I think that it sounds
00:18:59.809 --> 00:19:01.769
like nonsense to me. It sounds like if they make
00:19:01.769 --> 00:19:03.849
this fight, it should be a heavyweight. I think
00:19:03.849 --> 00:19:05.819
that. I don't think Benavidez will have a problem
00:19:05.819 --> 00:19:07.079
going heavyweight, so I don't think it's even
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:09.599
that thing. Now, maybe does Usyk think it means
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:11.920
more if he gets undisputed again at Cruiserweight
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:14.200
and Benavidez has that? But there's also a lot
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:16.059
of, that's like also some steps to get to that
00:19:16.059 --> 00:19:18.279
point, right? Yeah, I don't know. It just sounds
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:19.880
like nonsense to me. I think that the two students
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:22.400
fighting heavyweight, that's the obvious decision
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:27.650
to me if I was promoting it. You know, you
sound
00:19:27.650 --> 00:19:31.670
just as dumb as the report. You're talking about,
00:19:31.869 --> 00:19:33.769
oh, you don't know if he can make the weight.
00:19:33.769 --> 00:19:36.609
Bro, who cares if he can make the weight? there's
00:19:36.609 --> 00:19:39.980
nothing in this for Benavidez. What is there
00:19:39.980 --> 00:19:42.839
for Benavidez if this comes back down, if Usyk
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:44.680
comes back down a cruiser? They're going to say
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:47.599
that you beat an old, drained fighter? No, he
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:50.579
would want this at heavyweight. That's the order
00:19:50.579 --> 00:19:52.920
that says that. You want to be able to call yourself
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:55.000
the heavyweight champion of the world. Because
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:57.279
at the end of the day, whether or not Usyk has
00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:59.680
the sanction of Bobby Bells, he is still the
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:01.500
lineal heavyweight champion of the world, and
00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:04.700
he is looked at as the heavyweight champion of
00:20:04.700 --> 00:20:08.670
the world. So, why, why, it wouldn't be, it's
00:20:08.670 --> 00:20:14.509
not a thing. It's just not a thing. What, what,
00:20:14.589 --> 00:20:17.049
Ezra? You're wrong about one thing here, though.
00:20:17.349 --> 00:20:19.069
I'm not wrong about anything. I'm never wrong.
00:20:19.289 --> 00:20:21.490
You are. And this is the thing that we get stuck
00:20:21.490 --> 00:20:24.029
in. We talk about, like, people that... Hold
00:20:24.029 --> 00:20:27.150
on, hold on, hold on. Put up Kay, put up Kay
00:20:27.150 --> 00:20:30.630
Gunner's comment. See, this is the stupidity
00:20:30.630 --> 00:20:33.710
that pissed me off in boxing. Ducking that over
00:20:33.710 --> 00:20:36.230
tired smoke. What the fuck are you talking about?
00:20:36.869 --> 00:20:40.450
What are you talking about? How would Olejana
00:20:40.450 --> 00:20:44.970
Usyk pursue the David Benavidez fight mean that
00:20:44.970 --> 00:20:48.190
David Benavidez is Dr. Opataya's foe? Does that
00:20:48.190 --> 00:20:51.470
make sense to you? How did that make sense to
00:20:51.470 --> 00:20:55.160
you, K -Gunner? Explain to me how that makes
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:57.299
sense. Matter of fact, somebody drop the link
00:20:57.299 --> 00:21:00.720
for this fucking guy. Let him get on here and
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.200
explain that stupid comment. It's a stupid comment.
00:21:06.019 --> 00:21:08.480
Bro, Benavidez ain't ducking, dodging nobody.
00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:10.759
He's already shown that he's willing to fight
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:13.259
everybody. He's already shown that he's willing
00:21:13.259 --> 00:21:18.069
to do that. Now we talking nonsense. Can I go
00:21:18.069 --> 00:21:20.890
now? Yeah, go. Just go, man. Go, please. I'm
00:21:20.890 --> 00:21:23.789
going to keep arguing with K -Gunner. Go. Listen.
00:21:24.670 --> 00:21:27.029
one thing we get stuck in like the mind frame
00:21:27.029 --> 00:21:29.490
of people that watch boxing as much as us or
00:21:29.490 --> 00:21:31.210
or pay attention to boxing as much as us and
00:21:31.210 --> 00:21:32.630
we say oh well the people are gonna care because
00:21:32.630 --> 00:21:34.269
he's the cruiserweight he dragged around bro
00:21:34.269 --> 00:21:35.789
the general audience they're gonna give a damn
00:21:35.789 --> 00:21:37.410
about any of that they're gonna be like hey let's
00:21:37.410 --> 00:21:39.569
all seek who's gonna beat joshua who's gonna
00:21:39.569 --> 00:21:41.309
be the wall and he beat fury now he's fighting
00:21:41.309 --> 00:21:44.230
the uh benavides no one no one's thinking well
00:21:44.230 --> 00:21:45.769
he drained him down he brought him down it's
00:21:45.769 --> 00:21:48.369
like sometimes sometimes that that doesn't matter
00:21:48.369 --> 00:21:50.869
if it feels like he could make the weight and
00:21:50.869 --> 00:21:54.000
like if she'll lose with the fight look like
00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:56.220
michael jackson thriller people are going to
00:21:56.220 --> 00:22:00.240
know that people are going to care the one thing
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:02.440
i agree with 100 it's a bigger fight i agree
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:04.319
with you on that it means it would it stands
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:07.000
out more at heavyweight and i i think that uh
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:08.839
i don't think lucy will go who's just talking
00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:10.279
about going down before but i don't really think
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:13.529
he'll do it yeah i think i'm more on on matt's
00:22:13.529 --> 00:22:14.990
side like as far as just what the fight means
00:22:14.990 --> 00:22:17.559
and everything but I mean, we were talking about
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:18.940
it in the space yesterday, Ezra, and I made the
00:22:18.940 --> 00:22:22.319
same point. The casual fan doesn't really understand
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:24.059
the weight classes and stuff. They're going to
00:22:24.059 --> 00:22:26.140
understand that Usyk's a champion. He was a champion
00:22:26.140 --> 00:22:28.079
at cruiserweight before because they're going
00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:30.619
to bill it that way. And most of the general
00:22:30.619 --> 00:22:33.940
public outside of the actual boxing fans aren't
00:22:33.940 --> 00:22:41.369
going to care. Yeah, I agree. But I do agree
00:22:41.369 --> 00:22:44.140
with you in the fact that... Why would you take
00:22:44.140 --> 00:22:46.180
that fight outside of just the name recognition
00:22:46.180 --> 00:22:48.519
that you get from the people that are outside
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:51.779
of the sport and the money? Because if you're
00:22:51.779 --> 00:22:54.569
not making that fight at heavyweight, it doesn't
00:22:54.569 --> 00:22:58.730
really do much for Benavidez critically. It really
00:22:58.730 --> 00:23:00.329
doesn't because the people who are ranking him
00:23:00.329 --> 00:23:02.730
are going to
consider the fact that Usyk was
00:23:02.730 --> 00:23:05.509
drained at cruiserweight. I just think that if
00:23:05.509 --> 00:23:07.069
you play heavyweight on the poster, it just looks
00:23:07.069 --> 00:23:09.099
better. That's just the truth of it. It's just
00:23:09.099 --> 00:23:11.299
a heavyweight fight. Benavidez is back at heavyweight
00:23:11.299 --> 00:23:12.819
fighting the best heavyweight in the world that
00:23:12.819 --> 00:23:15.349
we have right now. I think that's just the way,
00:23:15.369 --> 00:23:16.670
the selling point, like, that's just the way
00:23:16.670 --> 00:23:19.890
it is. All right. Also in the heavyweight division,
00:23:20.829 --> 00:23:26.650
I'm hearing that the Opataya Wilder fight is
00:23:26.650 --> 00:23:29.910
done. Oh, wow. That's a great fight. Oh, man,
00:23:29.930 --> 00:23:36.119
that's a fun fight. I love that fight. So is
00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:41.579
John Opataya ducking David Benavidez more? That's
00:23:41.579 --> 00:23:43.670
funny. I don't know. That's a good fight, man.
00:23:43.750 --> 00:23:45.329
That's a hell of a fight. I'm really excited
00:23:45.329 --> 00:23:49.420
for that fight. You're excited for that fight
00:23:49.420 --> 00:23:51.500
because you think, you know, I ain't going to
00:23:51.500 --> 00:23:54.619
say what you think. But let's just say you won't
00:23:54.619 --> 00:23:57.240
be invited to the Bomb Squad dinner. You're saying
00:23:57.240 --> 00:23:58.660
that I'm going to pick over Tyler to win that
00:23:58.660 --> 00:24:04.640
fight. I know you are. I know you are. Can I
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:07.589
break some news right now? Yeah. I'm picking
00:24:07.589 --> 00:24:09.549
over Tyler to win that fight. Yeah, I know. I
00:24:09.549 --> 00:24:12.130
know. Tyler to win that fight. I know. Hey, listen.
00:24:12.829 --> 00:24:15.400
We're all entitled to be wrong. Hey, that's true.
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:21.250
This is true. Clarissa Turkios says that Wilder
00:24:21.250 --> 00:24:25.609
getting cooked. You know what? Hey, Clarissa.
00:24:26.500 --> 00:24:28.700
Clarissa, I don't know if you're a guy or a girl,
00:24:28.819 --> 00:24:32.680
but put your money where your mouth is. I want
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:38.240
you to bring your ass on this show and you tell
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:41.779
me, you tell me, Clarissa, why Wilder getting
00:24:41.779 --> 00:24:45.380
cooked. Can I tell you? No, I want to hear from
00:24:45.380 --> 00:24:48.160
Clarissa. I want to hear from Clarissa. I don't
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:49.460
want to hear from you. I hear from you all the
00:24:49.460 --> 00:24:51.619
time. I'm not talking about that. Now, the comments,
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:53.799
they're only up for like a second. Could they
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:59.630
stay up there longer anyway? Are you criticizing
00:24:59.630 --> 00:25:01.890
our producer? No, no. I don't know if it's just
00:25:01.890 --> 00:25:03.190
because if you click it, it only stays up as
00:25:03.190 --> 00:25:06.549
long. No, no, no. It might be how it's being
00:25:06.549 --> 00:25:07.789
displayed to you because I usually keep them
00:25:07.789 --> 00:25:11.069
up for like five, seven seconds. Oh, okay. Here,
00:25:11.470 --> 00:25:13.849
look. I'll keep the comment up there for you.
00:25:13.910 --> 00:25:16.650
Is that better? There you go. You just want to
00:25:16.650 --> 00:25:18.210
read while they're getting cooked. Is that what
00:25:18.210 --> 00:25:21.349
you want? I see them and then I'm like, they're
00:25:21.349 --> 00:25:24.480
gone right away. And I'm like, okay. Well, okay.
00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:27.059
Well, you see, you're still there. You happy
00:25:27.059 --> 00:25:29.869
now? Can I take the comment off now? You can
00:25:29.869 --> 00:25:32.569
take it off. Thank you. Also, Kay Gunna responded
00:25:32.569 --> 00:25:34.529
saying he knew that was going to trigger you
00:25:34.529 --> 00:25:39.029
with some laughing emojis. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever.
00:25:40.309 --> 00:25:45.710
Whatever. Yeah I'm really about to add this show.
00:25:46.029 --> 00:25:47.970
Amen. Don't forget to like comment share and
00:25:47.970 --> 00:25:52.269
some more people in the in the chat They're really
00:25:52.269 --> 00:25:55.180
pissing me off today. I gotta tell you but uh,
00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:59.119
yeah, so If this fight gets done, I'm hearing
00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:02.380
it is done and that is going to be done in Wales
00:26:02.380 --> 00:26:06.730
on the Joshua fury undercard Your favorite open
00:26:06.730 --> 00:26:12.890
tire, please tell the people why? the parker
00:26:12.890 --> 00:26:16.509
fight and and i think of uh wilder having a hard
00:26:16.509 --> 00:26:20.440
time uh uh getting his shots off against a guy
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:22.559
like parker who was looking to move around and
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:24.619
i think that was high will follow a similar style
00:26:24.619 --> 00:26:28.900
to that obviously is obviously like the more
00:26:28.900 --> 00:26:31.000
fresher fighter um he's going up in weight i
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:32.720
understand that and he's never been hit by a
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:34.279
man like wilder but there's a chance that he
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:36.599
doesn't get hit by a man like wilder like that's
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:38.700
that's i think that's honestly probably what
00:26:38.700 --> 00:26:40.660
i'm betting on is that he just really doesn't
00:26:40.660 --> 00:26:43.619
get touched by wilder And, well, he's able to
00:26:43.619 --> 00:26:46.660
avoid a really clean shot from Wilder. He's able
00:26:46.660 --> 00:26:49.539
to avoid the stuff like Parker basically was.
00:26:50.220 --> 00:26:54.849
That's the way I kind of see this fight. What
00:26:54.849 --> 00:26:59.039
has Jaupataya ever avoided a shot? Listen, on
00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:02.099
the inside, I think he has some defensive holes.
00:27:02.299 --> 00:27:04.799
But I think on the outside, he could move around
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:07.839
and be a little elusive. He wasn't elusive against
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:10.759
the Wilder McCallion, who landed right hand after
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:12.839
right hand on him. Yeah, that was on the inside.
00:27:13.019 --> 00:27:16.599
And McCallion's not very good. My failure was
00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:19.039
struggling with Badu Jack, who's 100 years old.
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:23.240
I got you. And he looked a little bit sluggish
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:25.519
that night, I thought. Well, John Obataia is
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:30.779
incredibly slow. He's incredibly slow. Now, the
00:27:30.779 --> 00:27:34.200
question is, is being slow at cruiserweight the
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:37.769
same as fighting at heavyweight? Does that mean
00:27:37.769 --> 00:27:39.410
he's naturally going to be quicker at heavyweight
00:27:39.410 --> 00:27:41.529
just because he's moving up to heavyweight? I
00:27:41.529 --> 00:27:44.450
don't know. What I do know is that Wilder still
00:27:44.450 --> 00:27:48.579
has his quickness. Wilder is not slow. Wilder
00:27:48.579 --> 00:27:51.079
still has his quickness. And you keep worrying
00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:55.960
about Wilder pulling the trigger. Wilder, to
00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:01.240
me, one of his issues was turning over his punches.
00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:09.410
But that was due to an injury that he got taken
00:28:09.410 --> 00:28:21.809
care of. exactly exactly hey hey make it happen
00:28:21.809 --> 00:28:28.319
because i'll tell you right now um if over time
00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:30.500
it goes through this wilder fight he's not making
00:28:30.500 --> 00:28:38.400
it to the benavidez fight let's go to like heavyweight
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:44.410
uh dimitri b -ball his fight against calvin smith
00:28:44.410 --> 00:28:51.869
is getting nearer and nearer and closer. What's
00:28:51.869 --> 00:28:56.640
your buzz level for this fight? None at all,
00:28:56.700 --> 00:29:00.980
I would say. None at all. I don't know. I've
00:29:00.980 --> 00:29:03.299
seen Smith by being at this level so many times.
00:29:03.539 --> 00:29:07.819
I don't think he's close to his prime or whatever.
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:12.640
It's like a guy that's literally like, what if
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:15.519
he lands type of situation? And I don't think
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:16.740
he's going to land against Bavall. I don't think
00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:19.519
Bavall's going to allow that. And it doesn't
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:21.339
seem like that's building to another bigger fight.
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:23.240
So Zayn doesn't even have that. A lot of times,
00:29:23.259 --> 00:29:25.299
if you have a fight that I don't care about,
00:29:25.380 --> 00:29:26.599
but it leads to a bigger fight, maybe I still
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:27.940
pay attention to it. Maybe I still get some buzz
00:29:27.940 --> 00:29:29.619
for it because I want to see it. It doesn't seem
00:29:29.619 --> 00:29:32.559
like
it's leading to anything. So then it's just
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:35.680
a fight happening that I think is a big mismatch.
00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:40.420
And I'm not really interested in seeing it. I
00:29:40.420 --> 00:29:42.259
don't think it's a big mismatch. I think it's
00:29:42.259 --> 00:29:45.420
going to be an interesting fight. I think Kyle
00:29:45.420 --> 00:29:51.529
Smith, hopefully, comes to win. We'll see What
00:29:51.529 --> 00:29:53.730
type of fight is it then I mean you say I don't
00:29:53.730 --> 00:29:55.230
think it's a big mismatch they give you the percentage
00:29:55.230 --> 00:29:58.990
That's your gimmick. That's your gimmick. I don't
00:29:58.990 --> 00:30:00.710
do the type fight gimmick. That's your gimmick
00:30:00.710 --> 00:30:04.230
Leave that to you. We'll leave your gimmicks
00:30:04.230 --> 00:30:08.789
and your graphics to you. Okay A lot of people
00:30:08.789 --> 00:30:10.750
talk but no one wants to put a number on it A
00:30:10.750 --> 00:30:12.670
lot of people talk but they don't want to put
00:30:12.670 --> 00:30:16.700
a number on it Alright, we'll get to the 168
00:30:16.700 --> 00:30:19.950
pound division when we talk about Canelo and
00:30:19.950 --> 00:30:22.990
Billy again. Let's go to the 160 -pound division.
00:30:23.650 --> 00:30:29.869
Denzel Bentley officially stripped of his WBO
00:30:29.869 --> 00:30:34.329
160 -pound title because he refused to fight
00:30:34.329 --> 00:30:39.049
Yoel Hernandez. Did the WBO make the right decision?
00:30:40.470 --> 00:30:44.109
Yeah. Of course that wasn't going to happen.
00:30:44.230 --> 00:30:46.980
Hey, you guys called this fight. We went to a
00:30:46.980 --> 00:30:49.539
first bid. It happened. I'm not doing it. Let
00:30:49.539 --> 00:30:51.839
me keep my belt. No, no, no, no, no. Take that
00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:56.400
belt from me. That was a stupid idea. I don't
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:58.339
even know why we wasted our time with it. They
00:30:58.339 --> 00:31:02.250
made the right move. Yeah, it was 100 % the right
00:31:02.250 --> 00:31:04.869
move. I just find it funny that Denzel Bentley
00:31:04.869 --> 00:31:07.170
was on Twitter trying to get the Twitter mob
00:31:07.170 --> 00:31:10.250
on his side. Oh, I wonder what's going on with
00:31:10.250 --> 00:31:12.970
the WBO. All of a sudden, they call my mandatory.
00:31:13.309 --> 00:31:17.589
What are you talking about, bro? Here's the thing,
00:31:17.670 --> 00:31:21.750
right? And these fighters, these fighters got
00:31:21.750 --> 00:31:26.470
to stop being idiots, okay? Because what was
00:31:26.470 --> 00:31:28.609
the fight that Denzel Bentley claimed he was
00:31:28.609 --> 00:31:30.829
going to get? He claimed he was going to get
00:31:30.829 --> 00:31:34.390
a unification bout against Aaron McKenna, who
00:31:34.390 --> 00:31:37.869
was also a Zufa fighter. But the fight that you
00:31:37.869 --> 00:31:41.089
presented to WBO is you versus Shane Mosley Jr.
00:31:42.390 --> 00:31:45.990
Why the hell would the WBO approve that? Now,
00:31:46.009 --> 00:31:52.130
if you really wanted to keep that belt, you would
00:31:52.130 --> 00:31:55.630
have presented a unification bout, signed to
00:31:55.630 --> 00:31:57.769
deliver Denzel Bentley versus Aaron McKenna.
00:31:57.910 --> 00:32:01.890
But you know why he didn't do that? Because the
00:32:01.890 --> 00:32:04.609
fight was never really happening. And they were
00:32:04.609 --> 00:32:06.430
just trying to put that out there publicly to
00:32:06.430 --> 00:32:09.549
make it look like the WBO is being heavy handed
00:32:09.549 --> 00:32:14.430
with them. And it did not work. It did not work.
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:17.819
None of these guys, none of these Zufa boxing
00:32:17.819 --> 00:32:20.480
guys fights an opponent worth a damn in their
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:24.029
first Zufa boxing fight. None of them. So why
00:32:24.029 --> 00:32:27.049
was this going to be any different? Yeah, I will
00:32:27.049 --> 00:32:28.730
say this, though. I do think that if you're a
00:32:28.730 --> 00:32:31.349
champion, I do think a mandatory is calling right
00:32:31.349 --> 00:32:34.569
away, though. I am a little bit. Who cares what
00:32:34.569 --> 00:32:37.769
you think? I know you don't buy it. Who cares
00:32:37.769 --> 00:32:42.529
what you think, bro? The WBC just bypassed their
00:32:42.529 --> 00:32:49.130
own. ruling with Carlos Adamez to approve his
00:32:49.130 --> 00:32:52.529
Zupa Boxer fight. They had just, they bypassed
00:32:52.529 --> 00:32:54.430
their own ruling. So what are you even talking
00:32:54.430 --> 00:32:56.609
about? Well, I mean, Adamez is, I mean, he's
00:32:56.609 --> 00:33:00.089
been pretty low at the WBC, so I mean. So tell
00:33:00.089 --> 00:33:04.069
me what your point is there. I'm just saying
00:33:04.069 --> 00:33:06.470
in most cases, now don't use just one example.
00:33:07.049 --> 00:33:11.609
So in the cases that it happens. But not in the
00:33:11.609 --> 00:33:14.609
case that it don't happen. You're full of shit.
00:33:15.089 --> 00:33:17.029
Adamas has been a good soldier for WBC for a
00:33:17.029 --> 00:33:18.869
long time. Yeah, it happens in the cases that
00:33:18.869 --> 00:33:21.390
it happens. It doesn't happen in the cases that
00:33:21.390 --> 00:33:24.349
it don't happen. Either way, you're right. Either
00:33:24.349 --> 00:33:26.769
way, you're right, Ezra. You're right, buddy.
00:33:27.029 --> 00:33:29.849
No. Either way, you're right, buddy. And I think
00:33:29.849 --> 00:33:32.150
Adamas is a special example because... He was
00:33:32.150 --> 00:33:33.650
loyal through the whole time of the Charles situation
00:33:33.650 --> 00:33:35.109
where they didn't move him up and they just had
00:33:35.109 --> 00:33:37.630
him as an interim. He never complained, no nothing.
00:33:37.809 --> 00:33:39.950
There was even a podcast where it was built for
00:33:39.950 --> 00:33:42.150
him to complain. And he said, no, I'm good.
I'm
00:33:42.150 --> 00:33:45.470
good where I'm at. I've never seen that podcast.
00:33:45.750 --> 00:33:49.450
I know, but I did. And I think they're pretty
00:33:49.450 --> 00:33:51.609
loyal to Adames. I think they like Adames. They'll
00:33:51.609 --> 00:33:54.480
work with Adames. All right, speaking of Adames,
00:33:54.500 --> 00:33:58.119
he's going to be defending his WBC belt against
00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:05.109
Jerome Warburton. What the fuck? Yeah, I don't
00:34:05.109 --> 00:34:08.739
know what that is. I don't know what that is.
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:11.460
You know, some people tell me, you know, it's
00:34:11.460 --> 00:34:14.440
funny. I don't think that's a good fight. Now,
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:15.980
I don't know that because I don't know who it
00:34:15.980 --> 00:34:18.219
is. And people say, well, you've never seen him.
00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:21.110
So how can you say that? I hate. Sometimes you've
00:34:21.110 --> 00:34:23.369
got to get me by the poster. The poster should
00:34:23.369 --> 00:34:25.329
win me in. I should see the poster and be like,
00:34:25.349 --> 00:34:27.429
hey, that's a good fight. And this will do it
00:34:27.429 --> 00:34:29.250
by the poster. So I think as a promoter, that's
00:34:29.250 --> 00:34:32.849
a bad job. If you don't draw me in by the poster,
00:34:32.969 --> 00:34:34.170
then I'm sorry. If you're telling me you've got
00:34:34.170 --> 00:34:37.170
to wait to see this, no, no, no, no, no. I'm
00:34:37.170 --> 00:34:42.510
sorry. Jerome Warburton is an area -level British
00:34:42.510 --> 00:34:45.570
fighter. Not even domestic level. He's an area
00:34:45.570 --> 00:34:47.369
-level British fighter. What if he lives in a
00:34:47.369 --> 00:34:51.190
tough area? He still can't win on a domestic
00:34:51.190 --> 00:34:54.190
level. Just saying. He still can't win on a domestic
00:34:54.190 --> 00:34:57.309
level. He's an area -level British fighter. I
00:34:57.309 --> 00:34:59.210
think he only has, like, two knockouts and 18
00:34:59.210 --> 00:35:05.809
wins. Like, he stinks. He's not good. He's not
00:35:05.809 --> 00:35:10.610
good. You know what really ticks me off about
00:35:10.610 --> 00:35:13.489
this matchup? What's that? It's the main event.
00:35:13.989 --> 00:35:17.190
Yeah. How the fuck is it the main event anywhere?
00:35:17.630 --> 00:35:23.409
It's in, uh... Is this Saudi? Yeah. Yeah. Remember
00:35:23.409 --> 00:35:25.590
Adamez wasn't going to go back to Saudi? He said
00:35:25.590 --> 00:35:27.690
he would never go back there. He goes, I'm not
00:35:27.690 --> 00:35:30.170
going to fight this kind of rematch if I go to
00:35:30.170 --> 00:35:31.630
Saudi. I'm not going to fight Janabek if I go
00:35:31.630 --> 00:35:34.170
to Saudi. Now, perfectly okay going to Saudi,
00:35:34.269 --> 00:35:43.769
I realize. Oh, man. And the funniest part, and
00:35:43.769 --> 00:35:47.920
I know Blunted Boxes brought this up. I'm just
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:53.500
going to reiterate it. Zufa Boxes had... three
00:35:53.500 --> 00:35:58.360
of the four middleweight champions, and they
00:35:58.449 --> 00:36:01.570
didn't make it about between them. How does that
00:36:01.570 --> 00:36:05.690
happen when the best are fighting the best? Yeah,
00:36:05.789 --> 00:36:08.510
they won against every model that they said they
00:36:08.510 --> 00:36:12.050
were going to have. And now I'm just like, is
00:36:12.820 --> 00:36:14.800
the league still a thing? That's what I'm still
00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:20.070
curious about. I don't know. Who knows? Who knows?
00:36:20.889 --> 00:36:25.769
Also at 160, Virgil Ortiz, man. Him and Keith
00:36:25.769 --> 00:36:28.929
Thurman came face -to -face for the first time.
00:36:29.469 --> 00:36:33.210
And I gotta tell you, Keith Thurman looks ready.
00:36:33.989 --> 00:36:41.739
Keith Thurman looks ready. Ezra, thoughts on
00:36:41.739 --> 00:36:45.179
Virgil and Keith coming face -to -face? Bro,
00:36:45.179 --> 00:36:48.139
that fight sucks. Yeah, I don't know. That's
00:36:48.139 --> 00:36:49.679
my thoughts on it. I don't give a damn about
00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:51.900
that fight. That fight means nothing to me. Only
00:36:51.900 --> 00:36:54.340
thing that can hurt... Really? Honestly? Only
00:36:54.340 --> 00:36:56.300
thing that can happen is Virgil looks... It's
00:36:56.300 --> 00:37:00.119
really no way he comes out better in it. So Virgil
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:01.519
comes out worse in it. That's the only thing
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:04.119
that we're really here. I always say there's
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:05.739
a street fighter where the level you fight a
00:37:05.739 --> 00:37:08.460
car, this is Virgil Ortiz level where he fights
00:37:08.460 --> 00:37:18.269
a car. I think Keith has a chance to win. I'll
00:37:18.269 --> 00:37:25.789
break it down for you. Real quick, joining the
00:37:25.789 --> 00:37:32.269
show, live public streets. The mean street to
00:37:32.269 --> 00:37:37.789
Philadelphia. We have the host of the Sunday
00:37:37.789 --> 00:37:42.489
morning sermon. The longest running Twitter space
00:37:42.489 --> 00:37:47.099
in history. He always keeps it 100. Never 99.
00:37:47.820 --> 00:37:53.840
Did you get the Zell? My guy. Keep 100 bucks.
00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:56.440
What's going on, John? Listen, man. I love you,
00:37:56.480 --> 00:38:00.639
man. Listen, to Keith Thurman, man, he sees something.
00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:05.519
I had to chime in, man. One time, one more time.
00:38:07.219 --> 00:38:10.179
Yeah, I see something. I see Kiko in our one
00:38:10.179 --> 00:38:15.159
through six. That's what I see, baby. One through
00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:17.800
six. Baby, one through four. I get greedy, Ezra.
00:38:18.039 --> 00:38:20.880
You know what? Matt, I have a question for you,
00:38:20.900 --> 00:38:22.360
actually. I think it's a pretty interesting question.
00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:27.869
What's a better matchup? Tougher matchup? Virgil
00:38:27.869
--> 00:38:38.909
versus Thurman? Or Boots versus Kelly? Who loses,
00:38:38.909 --> 00:38:42.260
Mike? Is that for me or is that for Ty? That's
00:38:42.260 --> 00:38:44.000
for you. That's for you, Matt. He said you, Matt.
00:38:44.340 --> 00:38:46.019
Oh, I wasn't going to listen to him. My bad.
00:38:49.030 --> 00:38:54.159
I'm going to say Virgil versus Thurman is a tougher
00:38:54.159 --> 00:39:00.940
matchup. All right. I think Kelly has absolutely
00:39:00.940 --> 00:39:03.739
nothing for Boots. I think the same thing for
00:39:03.739 --> 00:39:08.010
Thurman. I got a question, Matt. could thurman
00:39:08.010 --> 00:39:11.289
beat kelly and we switched oppositions yes yes
00:39:11.289 --> 00:39:15.280
yes yes what you think ass could thurman beat
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:17.980
kelly yes i'm not sure that's a 50 50 fight i
00:39:17.980 --> 00:39:20.500
think it's a 50 50 break i'm not sure hey hey
00:39:20.500 --> 00:39:23.739
the fact that you would say it's a 50 50 fight
00:39:23.739 --> 00:39:28.820
but you got virgil cooking thurman i have boots
00:39:28.820 --> 00:39:31.820
cooking kelly what do you think what do you think
00:39:31.820 --> 00:39:33.679
i have that gonna be close in a decision i don't
00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:35.440
know i don't know i don't know what you are the
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:37.829
fact what does that mean I was like, yeah, I
00:39:37.829 --> 00:39:40.730
got both getting cooked. But like I was saying,
00:39:40.789 --> 00:39:43.210
the fact that you have Virgil cooking Thurman
00:39:43.210 --> 00:39:47.030
and Thurman versus Kelly at 50 -50 fight, I kind
00:39:47.030 --> 00:39:50.139
of feel like Virgil and Boots really dropped
00:39:50.139 --> 00:39:51.920
the ball. We might have had something special
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:55.000
here. We might have had something special here
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:58.369
if they would have fought each other. We might
00:39:58.369 --> 00:40:00.719
have had what? We might have had something special.
00:40:01.380 --> 00:40:03.739
Oh, yeah, they should have fought each other.
00:40:04.380 --> 00:40:08.019
Man, yeah, let me tell you something. You cannot
00:40:08.019 --> 00:40:16.960
get me excited for that fight. Martin had a very
00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:21.079
interesting comment. Martin says that Zufa can't
00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:23.000
afford to put on big fights with their massive
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:26.639
executive payroll. I don't know if it's the massive
00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:31.159
executive payroll, but I have noticed that the
00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:35.360
quality of these sides has been very poor with
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:38.260
the Zufa boxing bout. Have you noticed that?
00:40:38.849 --> 00:40:40.570
Well, for the future fights they're announcing,
00:40:40.809 --> 00:40:44.590
yeah, I definitely noticed that. So what do you
00:40:44.590 --> 00:40:47.030
attribute that? I don't know. I don't know what
00:40:47.030 --> 00:40:48.429
the strategy is. They're all over the place.
00:40:48.630 --> 00:40:51.550
Because I think that me and you were pretty much
00:40:51.550 --> 00:40:53.869
enjoying what Zubo was offering when it first
00:40:53.869 --> 00:40:58.050
started. I loved their cards, man. And I was
00:40:58.050 --> 00:41:00.349
enjoying it. And I thought, hey, if they just
00:41:00.349 --> 00:41:02.570
do this and try to build their guys inside a
00:41:02.570 --> 00:41:04.969
bunch of young talent, this isn't too bad of
00:41:04.969 --> 00:41:08.280
an idea and I could get behind this. they got
00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:09.539
you know like we always said they got greedy
00:41:09.539 --> 00:41:12.000
they got they got impatient and try to get all
00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:15.840
these big names and yeah and to me now like i
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:17.800
don't know what they are they just they're getting
00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:22.150
not big names but guys that are uh i guess uh
00:41:22.150 --> 00:41:25.289
world level and certain weights and put them
00:41:25.289 --> 00:41:28.090
against squash competition that's not gonna win
00:41:28.090 --> 00:41:29.989
that's not that's not that's not anything different
00:41:29.989 --> 00:41:31.570
either that's like not even a different attempt
00:41:31.570 --> 00:41:36.219
to anything i still can't believe this this Adamez
00:41:36.219 --> 00:41:39.039
versus Jerome Warburton fight. I just don't get
00:41:39.039 --> 00:41:42.460
it. Honestly, this is one of the worst fights
00:41:42.460 --> 00:41:46.579
of all time. To me, if you sign Adamez and you
00:41:46.579 --> 00:41:49.340
sign these guys who are not, to me, that can
00:41:49.340 --> 00:41:51.840
be massive paydays. There's just no way. They're
00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:53.519
getting massive money. Maybe they are. I don't
00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:56.420
know. I would have meant so. There's no way you
00:41:56.420 --> 00:41:58.119
can't match them against your tough competition
00:41:58.119 --> 00:42:01.230
in the weight class. and at least say, hey, we're
00:42:01.230 --> 00:42:03.449
still putting on competitive fights, right? Like,
00:42:03.449 --> 00:42:04.690
at least they can say that, but they're not even
00:42:04.690 --> 00:42:07.050
doing that. And they're just going within the
00:42:07.050 --> 00:42:08.949
way that basically, like, every boxing promoter
00:42:08.949 --> 00:42:12.869
is kind of trying to work. And it's just at a
00:42:12.869 --> 00:42:15.710
way worse level. And it just doesn't make any
00:42:15.710 --> 00:42:20.059
sense. It doesn't make any sense. Yeah, it's
00:42:20.059 --> 00:42:23.940
not looking good for the future. But, like I
00:42:23.940 --> 00:42:27.260
said, they put on some great cards, in my opinion,
00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:32.670
to start. It's just a matter of they got to continue
00:42:32.670 --> 00:42:36.849
it. They got to continue it. Because Carlos Adamas
00:42:36.849 --> 00:42:40.949
versus Jerome Warburton ain't it. Ain't it at
00:42:40.949 --> 00:42:46.630
all. Go
ahead. Go back to the league and say
00:42:46.630 --> 00:42:48.510
forget the bouts. Forget the sanctuary bodies.
00:42:48.670 --> 00:42:50.429
Forget all that. We're just going back to our
00:42:50.429 --> 00:42:52.309
league and we're doing our own bouts. And build
00:42:52.309 --> 00:42:55.199
within the talent pool that they have. They can't
00:42:55.199 --> 00:42:57.690
do their own bouts yet. Well, whatever. Well,
00:42:57.750 --> 00:42:59.130
they were doing their own belt. They really can't
00:42:59.130 --> 00:43:00.090
do their own belt. They were already doing their
00:43:00.090 --> 00:43:02.210
own. No, they can't officially have their own
00:43:02.210 --> 00:43:04.630
belt and ranking system until they change the
00:43:04.630 --> 00:43:08.289
act. Well, what's Obataya? Is he not their Cruiserweight
00:43:08.289 --> 00:43:11.250
champion? Yeah, but there's no ranking or anything
00:43:11.250 --> 00:43:13.650
behind that. It's like they gave him a belt for
00:43:13.650 --> 00:43:15.710
winning a fight is essentially what that is.
00:43:15.789 --> 00:43:18.550
Yeah, it's ceremonial. There's nothing that backs
00:43:18.550 --> 00:43:20.570
him saying he's a champion. They gave him a ceremonial
00:43:20.570 --> 00:43:22.750
belt. That means nothing. Keep it ceremonial.
00:43:22.750 --> 00:43:24.929
No one enforced anything on it. Keep it ceremonial,
00:43:24.929 --> 00:43:26.989
whatever. I don't think people care. Keep it
00:43:26.989 --> 00:43:29.110
ceremonial, but go back to that. So make it a
00:43:29.110 --> 00:43:32.190
wrestling. Yes. Get away from the bouts. That's
00:43:32.190 --> 00:43:33.869
the only way that you have anything different.
00:43:34.090 --> 00:43:36.690
Go back to your roster you have, run a league,
00:43:36.789 --> 00:43:41.119
and do that. That's it. Run a league within your
00:43:41.119 --> 00:43:42.760
talent and make tough matchups like you were
00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:44.800
doing when you started. That's it. I don't understand
00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:47.420
this. Adam is going to move the needle. It's
00:43:47.420 --> 00:43:50.659
not going to do anything. All right, now it's
00:43:50.659 --> 00:43:54.980
time for you, Ezra, to move the needle for the
00:43:54.980 --> 00:43:58.099
people. Your favorite part of the show, where
00:43:58.099 --> 00:44:01.039
you get to take over the show, with the Ezra
00:44:01.039 --> 00:44:05.360
breakdown, the Ezra report card, and your best
00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:07.780
bet for the day. Are there no more weight classes?
00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:10.760
Did we stop at middleweight? What else is there
00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:13.400
to talk about? I don't know, but there's more
00:44:13.400 --> 00:44:16.579
weight classes. Okay, let's talk about what we're
00:44:16.579 --> 00:44:19.690
talking about. Ezra, what? Featherweight through
00:44:19.690 --> 00:44:23.090
118 through 154. What's your storylines? Oh,
00:44:23.110 --> 00:44:26.010
154? We just had Boots versus Kelly. Fedora just
00:44:26.010 --> 00:44:27.949
got a win. He said he's going to fight Boots
00:44:27.949 --> 00:44:32.650
next. That's a hell of a fight. We got to go
00:44:32.650 --> 00:44:35.980
to the Ezra breakdown afterward. You know what?
00:44:36.219 --> 00:44:39.920
Forget about Ezra. We have a special guest. A
00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:44.699
special treat. We have a special guest for the
00:44:44.699 --> 00:44:47.719
boxing audience today. It's a treat for you guys.
00:44:48.079 --> 00:44:54.170
We have... Light, heavyweight contender. Some
00:44:54.170 --> 00:44:57.070
call him Ateef. Most people call him Lord Pretty
00:44:57.070 --> 00:45:00.550
Calvo. We got Ateef Overton in the building.
00:45:00.550 --> 00:45:03.900
What's going on, Ateef? What's going on, my brother?
00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:11.300
He got the mirror. He got the mirror. Let's go,
00:45:11.460 --> 00:45:15.800
man. Hey, listen. You're back in the ring next
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:20.699
week, November 7th, in Albuquerque. New Mexico
00:45:20.699 --> 00:45:26.920
against fellow heavy hitter. Bomb squad member.
00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:29.500
God damn it. You're going up against the bomb
00:45:29.500 --> 00:45:32.719
squad. It hurts my heart because I am bomb squad
00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:35.679
through and through. My God, Deion Nicholson.
00:45:36.059 --> 00:45:40.500
Tell the people about your fight and how did
00:45:40.500 --> 00:45:44.150
this matchup come to be? Yeah, I'm fighting November
00:45:44.150 --> 00:45:49.110
7th at Albuquerque, New Mexico versus Deion Nicholson.
00:45:49.880 --> 00:45:53.079
How the fight came about, I don't know. The matchmaker,
00:45:53.380 --> 00:45:57.739
shout out to Brendan. They'll work for Salida.
00:45:58.199 --> 00:46:01.559
And he just set it up. So he got me some smoke.
00:46:01.719 --> 00:46:05.380
So I'm about to go do that. Now, this is definitely
00:46:05.380 --> 00:46:10.760
some smoke. In my personal opinion, this is going
00:46:10.760 --> 00:46:13.960
to be the best fighter that you've fought so
00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:19.019
far. In your opinion. Where would you rank Deion
00:46:19.019 --> 00:46:23.670
Nicholson amongst your opponent? I don't think
00:46:23.670 --> 00:46:28.190
he's better than Angulo. Come on, man. Come on,
00:46:28.210 --> 00:46:31.420
man. Of course he is. And why do you say that?
00:46:32.090 --> 00:46:35.869
Because he's a heavier hitter. He's less shot
00:46:35.869 --> 00:46:41.800
worn. I think he boxes well. I'm telling you.
00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:43.780
Yo, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. I'm
00:46:43.780 --> 00:46:45.480
very familiar with Deion Nicholson. Like I said,
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:50.659
he's bomb squad. No joke, man. Now. I was talking
00:46:50.659 --> 00:46:54.380
to my man from the Bomb Squad yesterday about
00:46:54.380 --> 00:46:57.179
this fight because I was like, yo, I can't believe
00:46:57.179 --> 00:47:01.260
that this fight is really happening. And he said,
00:47:01.480 -->
00:47:04.860
I'm just letting you know, he said that you better
00:47:04.860 --> 00:47:07.179
be taking it seriously because he said Deion
00:47:07.179 --> 00:47:09.659
looking good right now. He said Deion looking
00:47:09.659 --> 00:47:12.059
good, man. He said Deion coming with it for you,
00:47:12.099 --> 00:47:15.320
man. What are you going to bring to this fight
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:18.030
next week? I'm going to bring my hands. I'm not
00:47:18.030 --> 00:47:30.920
doing no fucking talking. From what I heard,
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:33.639
this fight was supposed to take place before
00:47:33.639 --> 00:47:37.900
it couldn't get over the line. You guys finally
00:47:37.900 --> 00:47:43.349
got the fight over the line. You said, you know,
00:47:43.349 --> 00:47:46.309
the guy Brendan from Salida helped put the fight
00:47:46.309 --> 00:47:51.619
together. When did they present him as an opponent
00:47:51.619 --> 00:47:55.719
for you? And what was your immediate answer?
00:47:55.800 --> 00:47:58.019
Just, yo, let's just line it up. Like, how did
00:47:58.019 --> 00:48:01.969
that happen on your end? I heard his name before,
00:48:02.070 --> 00:48:07.400
but nothing ever happened. And this time, they
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:09.719
said they wanted to have me fight in Albuquerque,
00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:14.000
New Mexico to keep me busy. and it wasn't no
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:16.880
they just sent them and then okay there's never
00:48:16.880 --> 00:48:19.179
that's what it is with everybody I fight it's
00:48:19.179 --> 00:48:21.460
never no I'm negotiating do I want to fight no
00:48:21.460 --> 00:48:24.179
everything they they already know give it to
00:48:24.179 --> 00:48:27.519
me then so it was the same thing with him so
00:48:28.539 --> 00:48:30.380
so there's no conversation when they present
00:48:30.380 --> 00:48:32.139
an opponent there's no conversation for you just
00:48:32.139 --> 00:48:34.559
whoever you guys play it is but I'm like that
00:48:34.559 --> 00:48:36.800
where I don't need I don't need to have a conversation
00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:38.940
I feel like I'm the best in the world so it's
00:48:38.940 --> 00:48:41.019
not none of that this this he's not on my level
00:48:41.019 --> 00:48:52.230
now With Deion Nicholson, what does he bring
00:48:52.230 --> 00:48:56.289
to the table? I know you probably scouted him.
00:48:56.610 --> 00:49:00.150
Your trainer probably scouted him. What is it,
00:49:00.150 --> 00:49:03.389
some of the things that he does well that you're
00:49:03.389 --> 00:49:07.030
going to look to basically negate in your fight?
00:49:08.989 --> 00:49:11.650
He's just another boxer to me, bro, honestly.
00:49:11.889 --> 00:49:14.329
I'm being real honest with you. He's just another
00:49:14.329 --> 00:49:16.570
fighter. He's another guy that I sparred a million
00:49:16.570 --> 00:49:19.409
times. He's another guy. that i fought in the
00:49:19.409 --> 00:49:22.409
amateur several times he's another guy i
probably
00:49:22.409 --> 00:49:25.989
seen in the pros before like he doesn't possess
00:49:25.989 --> 00:49:31.619
nothing that i've never seen before now is there
00:49:31.619 --> 00:49:34.719
any bad blood between you two going into the
00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:37.860
fight or is this just business as usual for you
00:49:37.860 --> 00:49:42.250
it's just business i don't know him i just know
00:49:42.250 --> 00:49:44.329
i just know he signed the contract to fight i
00:49:44.329 --> 00:49:48.489
don't know him oh he knows you man he he been
00:49:48.489 --> 00:49:52.010
talking about you man he he knows you very well
00:49:52.010 --> 00:49:55.969
apparently well that's good yeah the whole world
00:49:55.969 --> 00:49:59.230
gonna know me soon question and then for matt
00:49:59.230 --> 00:50:01.610
i'm gonna ask you a question actually are you
00:50:01.610 --> 00:50:04.510
gonna ask me a question when we talking to lord
00:50:04.510 --> 00:50:06.590
pretty cowboy but this this is why i'm asking
00:50:06.590 --> 00:50:12.579
this is this uh you got robbed again yeah i know
00:50:12.579 --> 00:50:14.739
i look like i was scared there i thought i have
00:50:14.739 --> 00:50:17.599
to put the seat back hey uh is this ot's heart
00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:19.969
uh toughest opponent to date do you think For
00:50:19.969 --> 00:50:23.849
me, I would say, yeah, but I got to be honest.
00:50:23.929 --> 00:50:26.670
I'm a little biased, man. I'm a little biased.
00:50:26.869 --> 00:50:30.829
Like, it hurts my heart that Atif, who's one
00:50:30.829 --> 00:50:33.349
of my favorite fighters, is fighting a member
00:50:33.349 --> 00:50:36.289
of the Bomb Squad. This is really, really, this
00:50:36.289 --> 00:50:39.010
is really bothering me, man. It's really bothering
00:50:39.010 --> 00:50:44.340
me. And it's like, damn, I know, I know what
00:50:44.340 --> 00:50:47.170
Atif bring into the ring. I know what he bring
00:50:47.170 --> 00:50:49.900
into the ring. I feel like I know what's going
00:50:49.900 --> 00:50:52.860
to happen, and I don't think I want to see what's
00:50:52.860 --> 00:50:55.789
going to happen. Like, I'm going to have the
00:50:55.789 --> 00:50:58.969
fight on just so they can get the rating, but
00:50:58.969 --> 00:51:01.469
I ain't going to watch it. I ain't going to watch
00:51:01.469 --> 00:51:03.550
it. I'm going to have it on, but I ain't going
00:51:03.550 --> 00:51:05.250
to watch it because it's really going to hurt
00:51:05.250 --> 00:51:08.179
my heart, man. It's really going to hurt my heart,
00:51:08.219 --> 00:51:12.920
man. But this is fun. To me, funny enough, this
00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:15.099
is the best light heavyweight matchup that we
00:51:15.099 --> 00:51:18.630
have this year. And that includes B -Ball versus
00:51:18.630 --> 00:51:21.780
Callum Smith. This is the best matchup that we
00:51:21.780 --> 00:51:24.900
have this year. And it's very rare, very rare,
00:51:25.099 --> 00:51:32.230
that you get two black
fighters at the peak of
00:51:32.230 --> 00:51:35.090
their powers, two heavy hitters fighting each
00:51:35.090 --> 00:51:39.269
other. So for me, I salute both guys for taking
00:51:39.269 --> 00:51:42.010
on the challenge. I know Asif don't think it's
00:51:42.010 --> 00:51:43.530
going to be a challenge, and he's a fighter,
00:51:43.570 --> 00:51:47.269
so rightfully so. But for me, this is a very
00:51:47.269 --> 00:51:49.469
important fight. This is such an important fight.
00:51:49.690 --> 00:51:54.809
Because I think if Atif does what I know he knows
00:51:54.809 --> 00:51:57.510
he's going to do, they got to give him a title
00:51:57.510 --> 00:52:01.610
shot next. They have to. There's no more, oh,
00:52:01.809 --> 00:52:03.369
he got to fight this guy, he got to fight that.
00:52:03.510 --> 00:52:06.590
Nah, this is it. It got to be a title shot after
00:52:06.590 --> 00:52:10.469
this. What are your thoughts on that, Atif? I
00:52:10.469 --> 00:52:13.130
mean, you don't understand it. You pay attention
00:52:13.130 --> 00:52:16.920
more to the landscape than I do. i just fight
00:52:16.920 --> 00:52:19.019
and win and just keep going i don't get into
00:52:19.019 --> 00:52:22.480
what the media say or what you know what people
00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:24.599
say because everybody always got something to
00:52:24.599 --> 00:52:28.579
say everybody got an opinion so i just i just
00:52:28.579 --> 00:52:32.719
work hard work on my skills which is boxing and
00:52:32.719 --> 00:52:34.900
this is what i do when i come come down there
00:52:34.900 --> 00:52:37.260
and i lay down low when i get in the ring now
00:52:37.260 --> 00:52:39.480
you look good in your last fight you you've been
00:52:39.480 --> 00:52:43.639
you've been busy you've been keeping busy like
00:52:43.639 --> 00:52:46.610
like you said you would like Salida told you
00:52:46.610 --> 00:52:50.949
he would. What's the year been like for you and
00:52:50.949 --> 00:52:55.199
how would you accept your year so far? Amazing.
00:52:55.300 --> 00:52:57.880
This is the best year I've had in my boxing career
00:52:57.880 --> 00:53:02.559
in a very long time. I say since I was an amateur
00:53:02.559 --> 00:53:05.900
or since the first year I turned pro. And I mean,
00:53:05.980 --> 00:53:09.019
I'm staying busy, which I love. You know, when
00:53:09.019 --> 00:53:11.960
I'm busy, I'm dangerous. And of course, I'm getting
00:53:11.960 --> 00:53:14.380
paid at the same time and I'm getting the recognition
00:53:14.380 --> 00:53:20.739
that I need. So it's amazing. One of the listeners
00:53:20.739 --> 00:53:26.150
wants to know, would you be ready for a shot
00:53:26.150 --> 00:53:30.130
against Dimitri B -Ball should you come through
00:53:30.130 --> 00:53:33.780
with this fight next? I believe so. I think my
00:53:33.780 --> 00:53:39.130
team believes so. Yeah, I agree. I agree. I think
00:53:39.130 --> 00:53:41.590
it's time. I think it's time. It's funny. It's
00:53:41.590 --> 00:53:46.369
funny. There was a time where I wanted to pair
00:53:46.369 --> 00:53:52.820
you with, Ben Whittaker, no disrespect to him.
00:53:53.250 --> 00:53:55.429
I kind of feel like you're further along than
00:53:55.429 --> 00:54:00.920
Ben Whittaker, in my humble opinion. He's the
00:54:00.920 --> 00:54:04.380
guy that a lot of people are thinking is going
00:54:04.380 --> 00:54:08.320
to be the big fight for you because he's British,
00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:11.159
you're American. Whenever that comes together,
00:54:11.239 --> 00:54:16.019
it's like a big event. Who do you see as your
00:54:16.019 --> 00:54:20.500
big money fight at Light Heavyweight? I mean,
00:54:20.500 --> 00:54:27.460
it probably would be him. Yeah, yeah. Is that
00:54:27.460 --> 00:54:30.039
a fight that you might want to have down the
00:54:30.039 --> 00:54:33.889
road? Down the road if possible. I mean, if he
00:54:33.889 --> 00:54:35.530
keep winning and I keep winning, I don't got
00:54:35.530 --> 00:54:38.989
no bad things to say about him or speak about
00:54:38.989 --> 00:54:45.630
him. So, I mean, if it happens, it happens. Go
00:54:45.630 --> 00:54:49.250
ahead, Andrew. Well, your last performance, you
00:54:49.250 --> 00:54:50.670
were saying you were ready for that. It was like
00:54:50.670 --> 00:54:53.289
a big fight, big event. how did you feel about
00:54:53.289 --> 00:54:54.929
that performance did you feel like you did what
00:54:54.929 --> 00:54:57.010
you wanted to do in the ring there uh did you
00:54:57.010 --> 00:54:58.929
feel like it was a huge step up in competition
00:54:58.929 --> 00:55:02.170
what were your thoughts after that fight i think
00:55:02.170 --> 00:55:05.010
it was a huge step up in competition i feel like
00:55:05.010 --> 00:55:08.900
during the fight i felt like it was you know
00:55:08.900 --> 00:55:11.909
as i'm out boxing them the way i am and shutting
00:55:11.909 --> 00:55:15.429
them out i felt like it was like one of my best
00:55:15.429 --> 00:55:18.530
boxing performances ever but some people that's
00:55:18.530 --> 00:55:22.489
not um I'd say if they call them casuals or some
00:55:22.489 --> 00:55:25.769
people that was just watching, you know, they
00:55:25.769 --> 00:55:29.190
was like, oh, you wasn't throwing no punches
00:55:29.190 --> 00:55:31.710
and you didn't do anything. But when I look at
00:55:31.710 --> 00:55:33.989
the fight, I threw punches often and I jabbed
00:55:33.989 --> 00:55:38.389
a lot and I ain't do no running. So with that
00:55:38.389 --> 00:55:41.170
being said, I think my skill set was definitely
00:55:41.170 --> 00:55:44.679
like underappreciated. And, you know, a lot of
00:55:44.679 --> 00:55:47.599
people try to say Angulo was shot and this and
00:55:47.599 --> 00:55:49.579
this and that. And he didn't do this against
00:55:49.579 --> 00:55:52.300
Benavidez and this person. And it's like, we're
00:55:52.300 --> 00:55:54.639
not the same fighters. And certain things that
00:55:54.639
--> 00:55:56.679
I've looked at that he's done in those fights
00:55:56.679 --> 00:55:59.159
against certain people, we didn't allow him to
00:55:59.159 --> 00:56:02.699
do it to us. So it's one of those things, just
00:56:02.699 --> 00:56:05.280
like Guillermo Rigondeaux, or even sometimes
00:56:05.280 --> 00:56:07.980
they do to Shakur or other great fighters. You
00:56:07.980 --> 00:56:10.739
know, they do it to all of the greats where they
00:56:10.739 --> 00:56:12.820
have a certain performance and it's such a shutout.
00:56:13.139 --> 00:56:16.400
that they want to call it boring or say that
00:56:16.400 --> 00:56:18.900
you didn't do enough. That's one thing that I
00:56:18.900 --> 00:56:22.739
didn't appreciate. And that's why, like, I've
00:56:22.739 --> 00:56:26.000
learned so far, and that's why that's how I'm
00:56:26.000 --> 00:56:28.320
going into this fight and probably how I'm going
00:56:28.320 --> 00:56:29.940
to treat the rest of the fights in my career
00:56:29.940 --> 00:56:32.840
is, like, everybody, you know, got something
00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:34.860
to say. I'm tired of just hearing everybody talk.
00:56:35.260 --> 00:56:37.519
I'm going to just go in there and work, and whatever
00:56:37.519 --> 00:56:40.769
happens, happens after that. Now you said it
00:56:40.769 --> 00:56:42.610
was a step up of competition. Did it feel the
00:56:42.610 --> 00:56:44.489
speed, the aggressiveness, did it feel different
00:56:44.489 --> 00:56:46.510
in the ring there or was it business as usual
00:56:46.510 --> 00:56:49.969
for you? It was business as usual because this
00:56:49.969 --> 00:56:52.510
is what we work on. We train on, you know, this
00:56:52.510 --> 00:56:55.869
is what we do. We fight. So we work on, you know,
00:56:55.889 --> 00:56:58.750
treating fighting like it is at home, being relaxed
00:56:58.750 --> 00:57:01.349
about it. You know, it's just another day at
00:57:01.349 --> 00:57:03.690
the office and it's the same thing. It's going
00:57:03.690 --> 00:57:06.670
to be the same thing next weekend. Now, because
00:57:06.670 --> 00:57:08.789
like, you know, sometimes you write like the
00:57:08.789 --> 00:57:11.239
casuals. they don't appreciate certain styles,
00:57:11.500 --> 00:57:12.860
right? And they don't appreciate it maybe until
00:57:12.860 --> 00:57:16.550
it gets to like a certain level. It seems like
00:57:16.550 --> 00:57:18.289
you're okay winning that way. It seems like you're
00:57:18.289 --> 00:57:20.389
okay just performing at the highest level that
00:57:20.389 --> 00:57:21.789
you know how to perform, right? And doing what
00:57:21.789 --> 00:57:23.969
you're best. Do you think you have to do things
00:57:23.969 --> 00:57:26.449
outside of the ring to maybe draw more attention
00:57:26.449 --> 00:57:30.309
to you? If maybe, you know, outboxing guys isn't
00:57:30.309 --> 00:57:34.460
going to, you know, satisfy the casual. I just
00:57:34.460 --> 00:57:36.619
got to continue to be myself in the ring and
00:57:36.619 --> 00:57:40.500
outside the ring. And like I said, Early in the
00:57:40.500 --> 00:57:42.300
interview, the whole world is going to know my
00:57:42.300 --> 00:57:45.159
name. What I do, I'm like the last one of the
00:57:45.159 --> 00:57:48.019
purebred people that you get to meet on Earth.
00:57:48.760 --> 00:57:51.719
So it's not plenty of people that just got that
00:57:51.719 --> 00:57:55.059
raw, natural energy and aura about me that's
00:57:55.059 --> 00:57:57.820
a real person. And it shows off in my fighting,
00:57:57.940 --> 00:58:01.559
and it shows off in me as a person. And if you
00:58:01.559 --> 00:58:04.559
hear me speak, or if you come around me and get
00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:06.820
to be around my energy, you get to see that.
00:58:07.219 --> 00:58:10.500
I'm a natural, pure person, and I'm a superstar
00:58:10.500 --> 00:58:13.800
at heart already. So I don't have to do anything
00:58:13.800 --> 00:58:18.179
extra. All I got to do is just be me. Is there
00:58:18.179 --> 00:58:20.480
any other guys that you see in boxing that kind
00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:23.280
of have that makeup that you have right now currently?
00:58:24.110 --> 00:58:26.489
I don't think nobody fucking with me in no department.
00:58:27.630 --> 00:58:34.269
Not personality, not nothing. What about Drip?
00:58:34.980 --> 00:58:39.929
I mean, the face of boxing, and, like, you know,
00:58:39.969 --> 00:58:42.769
I feel like who got it right now is Javante Davis.
00:58:43.539 --> 00:58:46.679
You know, Javante Davis got drip, and he got
00:58:46.679 --> 00:58:48.500
the, you know, he can go do something, post something
00:58:48.500 --> 00:58:50.760
on Twitter, and then everybody go talk about
00:58:50.760 --> 00:58:54.039
him right now. So, like, you feel me? I respect
00:58:54.039 --> 00:58:57.880
him, and he showed love to me before. So, shout
00:58:57.880 --> 00:59:01.719
out to Tank. Now, his outfit's outdoing your
00:59:01.719 --> 00:59:05.619
outfit. Me personally, as a man, I don't think
00:59:05.619 --> 00:59:08.800
nobody outfit is doing my outfits, unless you
00:59:08.800 --> 00:59:11.340
like, I got to give it up to the guys that you
00:59:11.340 --> 00:59:14.820
know I've watched, which is like coming up like
00:59:14.820 --> 00:59:16.860
an A $AP Rocky or something. Those guys that
00:59:16.860 --> 00:59:19.699
really, and you feel me, Tastemakers and those
00:59:19.699 --> 00:59:22.539
guys that's getting the actual pieces before
00:59:22.539 --> 00:59:24.860
they come out and just knowing what's up, really
00:59:24.860 --> 00:59:30.099
knowing ball. But Tank, let's be real, Tank got
00:59:30.099 --> 00:59:33.570
a lot more money than I do. you feel me so he
00:59:33.570 --> 00:59:37.670
got access he got access to certain pieces and
00:59:37.670 --> 00:59:39.889
certain things he can go by that i can't buy
00:59:39.889 --> 00:59:42.829
but i can go get fly out of walmart i could go
00:59:42.829 --> 00:59:45.150
get fly out
of target or i'm not saying like
00:59:45.150 --> 00:59:47.789
you know that's how i came up but you know i
00:59:47.789 --> 00:59:50.329
do have pieces but it's just like i don't think
00:59:50.329 --> 00:59:52.610
nobody's with me because i'm really a natural
00:59:52.610 --> 00:59:55.090
like get dressed guy like i'm really what they
00:59:55.090 --> 00:59:57.369
consider like a fashion guy and i've always been
00:59:57.369 --> 01:00:00.679
like that my whole life yeah come on man wait
01:00:00.679 --> 01:00:02.239
well actually do it at a higher level because
01:00:02.239 --> 01:00:05.400
he doesn't have all the the maybe the most expensive
01:00:05.400 --> 01:00:07.239
stuff that people could get right and then they
01:00:07.239 --> 01:00:09.019
put that together he's doing it with with everything
01:00:09.019 --> 01:00:10.800
he could get and he's doing it so actually he
01:00:10.800 --> 01:00:13.280
might be number one at this now matt doesn't
01:00:13.280 --> 01:00:16.260
appreciate this stuff but i do i do but that's
01:00:16.260 --> 01:00:17.980
that's what but that's what i'm saying i'm saying
01:00:17.980 --> 01:00:20.599
i i that's what i stated i gave it to tank because
01:00:20.599 --> 01:00:23.380
the fact that he has access to so many different
01:00:23.380 --> 01:00:26.130
pieces and you know unique stuff when you got
01:00:26.130 --> 01:00:28.329
the money and i this one thing that i always
01:00:28.329 --> 01:00:30.769
said and this this is no like disrespect to bro
01:00:30.769 --> 01:00:33.010
like i said but this is one thing that i always
01:00:33.010 --> 01:00:36.110
told myself as a kid i'm like give give me the
01:00:36.110 --> 01:00:39.829
same money uh amount of money that you you comparing
01:00:39.829 --> 01:00:42.809
like you know who you think is fly that's a celebrity
01:00:42.809 --> 01:00:44.989
or something give us the same amount of money
01:00:44.989 --> 01:00:49.090
and say go shop and let's see who come back and
01:00:49.090 --> 01:00:51.030
you feel me who really come back with a better
01:00:51.030 --> 01:00:55.539
outfit A lot of what you said went over Ezra
01:00:55.539 --> 01:00:59.699
Tech. Ezra's not a fashionista. Matt doesn't
01:00:59.699 --> 01:01:01.880
get what you're saying right now. I do. Listen,
01:01:02.239 --> 01:01:07.360
this guy is wearing a flannel shirt with a green
01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:11.159
LA hat. He don't know drip, right? You know what?
01:01:11.280 --> 01:01:13.480
None of this over $100. That's what I'm saying.
01:01:13.559 --> 01:01:15.179
You can relate to this, Matt. None of this is
01:01:15.179 --> 01:01:18.599
over $100. You did mention A $AP Rocky as one
01:01:18.599 --> 01:01:22.300
of your fashion influences. how familiar are
01:01:22.300 --> 01:01:26.039
you with uh with virgil uh uh abloh you know
01:01:26.039 --> 01:01:30.880
he's like a fashion icon off -white and louis
01:01:30.880 --> 01:01:32.679
vuitton you know and what are your thoughts on
01:01:32.679 -->
01:01:36.329
him yeah virgil abloh is a goat he a legend he
01:01:36.329 --> 01:01:39.969
uh he he um gapped the bridge for a lot of things
01:01:39.969 --> 01:01:41.949
in the fashion world he did a lot of things that
01:01:41.949 --> 01:01:44.269
they wouldn't you know necessarily allow a black
01:01:44.269 --> 01:01:46.769
man to do like if i'm not mistaken he's the first
01:01:46.769 --> 01:01:48.769
black man to leave the house of louis vuitton
01:01:49.349 --> 01:01:52.130
um even when asap and those guys came up he was
01:01:52.130 --> 01:01:55.710
a dj for kanye west but even as he came up he
01:01:55.710 --> 01:01:58.610
had um you know i think he had something to do
01:01:58.610 --> 01:02:03.030
with if i'm not mistaken uh the pyrex um the
01:02:03.030 --> 01:02:05.730
ben trill and the hood by error that whole era
01:02:05.730 --> 01:02:07.869
when asap rocky and those guys was coming up
01:02:07.869 --> 01:02:11.329
during the clubs in 2012 and and like the whole
01:02:11.329 --> 01:02:14.369
thing and he's highly like rooted with the asap
01:02:14.369 --> 01:02:16.429
mob he did a lot of stuff for the asap mob and
01:02:16.429 --> 01:02:19.429
with the asap mob and he's kind of the reason
01:02:19.429 --> 01:02:22.550
why the youth get so much respect when it comes
01:02:22.550 --> 01:02:25.110
to the uh the fashion game now and the whole
01:02:25.110 --> 01:02:27.869
streetwear uh design and everything of that sort
01:02:27.869 --> 01:02:31.110
actually off -white asap ant gave him that name
01:02:31.110 --> 01:02:35.309
uh off -white and um he was like yo you should
01:02:35.309 --> 01:02:36.829
name it off -white he was looking for another
01:02:36.829 --> 01:02:39.449
name because pyrex had a cease and desist so
01:02:39.449 --> 01:02:41.489
he's looking for another name and then he was
01:02:41.489 --> 01:02:43.889
like yo since what you selling is like crack
01:02:43.889 --> 01:02:47.039
he's like name it off -white and that's how he
01:02:47.039 --> 01:02:49.460
came up with the name off -white When you're
01:02:49.460 --> 01:02:50.860
talking about the biggest trendsetters, you said
01:02:50.860 --> 01:02:52.840
A $AP Rocky. Who has the crown right now? Who
01:02:52.840 --> 01:02:54.820
are the top three guys right now? No, no, no,
01:02:54.820 --> 01:02:57.260
no. Forget about the top three. What's your fashion
01:02:57.260 --> 01:03:01.980
Mount Rushmore? Jesus. That's a great question.
01:03:02.969 --> 01:03:05.130
See, it's a great question. It's the top spot
01:03:05.130 --> 01:03:07.090
to be put right now. I'm trying to get the guys
01:03:07.090 --> 01:03:08.989
right now to pay attention to. Let the East Coast
01:03:08.989 --> 01:03:12.550
fashionistas talk about fashion right now. What's
01:03:12.550 --> 01:03:14.590
your outfit right now? I love to do that for
01:03:14.590 --> 01:03:17.699
you. You're talking about of all time. In your
01:03:17.699 --> 01:03:19.800
opinion, it could be, you know, guys that you
01:03:19.800 --> 01:03:23.860
saw coming up, just your Mount Rushmore. I'm
01:03:23.860 --> 01:03:26.539
definitely going Rocky. I'm going Young Thug.
01:03:27.480 --> 01:03:30.719
Young Thug! Yeah, Young Thug, you fly. Young
01:03:30.719 --> 01:03:34.099
Thug, you fly. You're too old, man. I saw him
01:03:34.099 --> 01:03:35.860
in a purple dress with a gun under his skirt.
01:03:36.179 --> 01:03:38.280
I know what you're talking about with that. I
01:03:38.280 --> 01:03:41.409
mean, that's why we're still talking about him
01:03:41.409 --> 01:03:43.210
today, right? Yeah, you just know that, guys.
01:03:46.570 --> 01:03:49.989
I can even go back. I feel like Rick James was
01:03:49.989 --> 01:03:51.929
very stylish. Rick James is one of my favorites.
01:03:52.190 --> 01:03:55.530
That's a fact. Yeah, Rick James was fly. You
01:03:55.530 --> 01:04:01.280
can go Jim Jones. He got his whole own aesthetic
01:04:01.280 --> 01:04:03.599
with the wallet chains and the, you feel me?
01:04:03.739 --> 01:04:05.599
Yeah, the vampire lights and all that. Yeah,
01:04:05.639 --> 01:04:09.599
like ACG boots and all that. Yeah, like I'll
01:04:10.019 --> 01:04:12.579
go guys like that for sure. There's plenty more
01:04:12.579 --> 01:04:14.820
out there, but it's just like, that's off the
01:04:14.820 --> 01:04:19.329
top. Pharrell, one of them ones. And Pharrell,
01:04:19.429 --> 01:04:21.110
that's another creative that people ain't talking
01:04:21.110 --> 01:04:23.769
about. He's doing his thing. Everything he touches
01:04:23.769 --> 01:04:30.909
is like that. See? When you see a boxing career,
01:04:31.289 --> 01:04:34.690
as far as the fame part of it, and as far as
01:04:34.690 --> 01:04:36.949
when you become the big name, do you see more
01:04:36.949 --> 01:04:43.210
of other artists outside of boxing? Because it
01:04:43.210 --> 01:04:46.150
seems like you have things outside of boxing
01:04:46.150 --> 01:04:48.170
that you're really interested in. do you mean
01:04:48.170 --> 01:04:50.050
like i could do i could bring this to boxing
01:04:50.050 --> 01:04:53.730
basically yeah i'm doing it now like my my outfits
01:04:53.730 --> 01:04:57.550
that i designed is like you know fashion uh branded
01:04:57.550 --> 01:05:01.289
and streetwear like my next uh fight outfit is
01:05:01.289 --> 01:05:04.809
why project inspired but i believe right now
01:05:04.809 --> 01:05:08.869
is my favorite uh designer glenn martin's okay
01:05:09.190 --> 01:05:17.239
so can we get a preview of your fight kit no
01:05:18.159 --> 01:05:21.500
Come on, man. I don't have it. It's not even
01:05:21.500 --> 01:05:24.000
finished yet. It's not even finished yet. So
01:05:24.000 --> 01:05:25.780
I don't have no references or nothing to give
01:05:25.780 --> 01:05:28.559
you yet, believe it or not. Every time I ask
01:05:28.559 --> 01:05:30.019
who's got for a preview of the fight kit, he
01:05:30.019 --> 01:05:33.440
never have it. Never, never. People tune in,
01:05:33.500
--> 01:05:35.500
man. Can't give that away. But then he show up
01:05:35.500 --> 01:05:38.980
with that shit on. Come on, man. Come on, man.
01:05:39.079 --> 01:05:42.039
Come on, man. I mean, I told you. I told you
01:05:42.039 --> 01:05:43.820
what it's inspired from. This is why I project.
01:05:44.889 --> 01:05:50.050
Okay, okay. Now, one of the fans, Chris Tennyson
01:05:50.050 --> 01:05:53.190
wants to know, who is on your box in Mount Rushmore?
01:05:55.989 --> 01:06:02.619
Pernell Whitaker, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Sugar
01:06:02.619 --> 01:06:10.840
Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray Robinson. James Toney
01:06:10.840 --> 01:06:16.159
is one of my favorites. You can go, James. Muhammad
01:06:16.159 --> 01:06:18.780
Ali, out of respect, he did a lot of things wrong.
01:06:19.440 --> 01:06:23.039
But it worked for him. And that's what a lot
01:06:23.039 --> 01:06:29.989
of people fail to realize. I think it's other
01:06:29.989 --> 01:06:32.710
guys. It's other guys. You know what's crazy?
01:06:32.929 --> 01:06:35.150
I feel like James Coney don't get mentioned a
01:06:35.150 --> 01:06:38.579
lot anymore. He don't. He don't. And he took
01:06:38.579 --> 01:06:43.780
all the smoke. I don't know why. That's just
01:06:43.780 --> 01:06:47.519
life. Sometimes the world loves some of us more
01:06:47.519 --> 01:06:50.219
than they love others. Yeah, that's weird to
01:06:50.219 --> 01:06:54.199
me because he'd take the smoke. He'll beat you
01:06:54.199 --> 01:07:00.199
up in a ring while talking shit to you. Jay Tony,
01:07:00.519 --> 01:07:03.039
he's one of the ones. That's a very good shout
01:07:03.039 --> 01:07:05.760
-out, man. Shout -out Burger King, too. Matt,
01:07:05.760 --> 01:07:07.480
take a look at the private chat here while I
01:07:07.480 --> 01:07:09.320
go to another question from one of the listeners.
01:07:10.340 --> 01:07:12.780
We have a question from Bluntson Boxing. The
01:07:12.780 --> 01:07:15.900
WC belt has become vacant. What could find you
01:07:15.900 --> 01:07:17.699
in the top 10? How would you welcome a fight
01:07:17.699 --> 01:07:19.500
against one Whitaker that Matt mentioned or a
01:07:19.500 --> 01:07:23.949
better B -Bit number two? uh whatever road it
01:07:23.949 --> 01:07:27.269
is if it's if it's the roads uh to the left of
01:07:27.269 --> 01:07:29.630
the fork or the right of the fork if it's leaning
01:07:29.630 --> 01:07:32.750
to that wbc but at the end of the day then i'm
01:07:32.750 --> 01:07:35.789
fine with that if if both fights present themselves
01:07:35.789 --> 01:07:37.670
in order for me to get the belt then i'm fine
01:07:37.670 --> 01:07:40.250
with that i just gotta do what i gotta do to
01:07:40.250 --> 01:07:43.469
get reach the end goals which is you know to
01:07:43.469 --> 01:07:48.400
go ahead and unify and then if we around light
01:07:48.400 --> 01:07:50.519
heavy weight long enough to go undisputed and
01:07:50.519 --> 01:07:53.739
then go take on the next big thing Then move
01:07:53.739 --> 01:08:00.139
up. Do you as a fighter have like a specific
01:08:00.139 --> 01:08:02.840
sanctioning body that you would want to fight
01:08:02.840 --> 01:08:05.699
for or don't matter to you as a fighter? I know
01:08:05.699 --> 01:08:07.599
a lot of Mexicans, they want to fight for that
01:08:07.599 --> 01:08:13.119
WBC green belt, you know? It doesn't matter for
01:08:13.119 --> 01:08:15.059
me. You know, I don't have none of them, so I
01:08:15.059 --> 01:08:17.100
don't want... none of these guys to look at me
01:08:17.100 --> 01:08:18.779
and say, well, we're not giving them my title.
01:08:19.279 --> 01:08:21.699
We're going to give them a hard time. So I just
01:08:21.699 --> 01:08:24.560
always been a fan of just having all the belts,
01:08:24.699 --> 01:08:28.159
to be honest. But I definitely want like the
01:08:28.159 --> 01:08:32.079
WBA because I believe, I think that was like
01:08:32.079 --> 01:08:36.140
the first one that was really just like, you
01:08:36.140 --> 01:08:38.159
know what I'm saying? Like, this is you as the
01:08:38.159 --> 01:08:40.100
pure champion. I think when it was a two belt
01:08:40.100 --> 01:08:42.560
era or one belt era, I think, well, however it
01:08:42.560 --> 01:08:45.260
was, I think the WBA was first, I think. Correct.
01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:48.720
Correct. The WBA used to be what's called the
01:08:48.720 --> 01:08:52.460
NBA, and then they changed to WBA. Funny enough,
01:08:52.500 --> 01:08:55.439
the NBA is actually back, but we don't get the
01:08:55.439 --> 01:08:57.939
recognition anymore. Oh, wow. Yeah, it is. But
01:08:57.939 --> 01:09:01.739
I would love to hold that belt just because all
01:09:01.739 --> 01:09:03.739
of the ones before me, all the great boxing guys
01:09:03.739 --> 01:09:06.920
before me have held it, the guys that I mentioned
01:09:06.920 --> 01:09:10.500
on the Rushmore Boxing. Yeah, yeah, no doubt,
01:09:10.520 --> 01:09:14.020
no doubt. I got to get back to your opponent.
01:09:31.119 --> 01:09:41.520
I want to say yeah, but I'm just not paying attention
01:09:41.520 --> 01:09:46.060
to any negativity. But you still want to knock
01:09:46.060 --> 01:09:49.539
his ass out anyway, basically. Yeah, I want to.
01:09:51.029 --> 01:09:53.430
Rightfully so. I'm pretty sure he thinks that's
01:09:53.430 --> 01:09:58.399
what he's going to do to me. Now, you mentioned
01:09:58.399 --> 01:10:02.319
how maybe casuals weren't really appreciative
01:10:02.319 --> 01:10:07.060
of your last performance. And you're going through
01:10:07.060 --> 01:10:10.100
this performance with a different mindset. Like
01:10:10.100 --> 01:10:12.960
I said, nothing about any negativity. But how
01:10:12.960 --> 01:10:16.539
does that affect you going forward? Knowing now,
01:10:16.699 --> 01:10:19.939
listen, every fight that you have is going to
01:10:19.939 --> 01:10:22.310
be a bigger fight. which means more eyeballs
01:10:22.310 --> 01:10:28.130
which means more critics good
and bad how are
01:10:28.130 --> 01:10:31.390
you as a fighter going to be able to deal with
01:10:31.390 --> 01:10:34.449
um all of the outside noise that's going to come
01:10:34.449 --> 01:10:37.930
with every bigger and bigger event that you're
01:10:37.930 --> 01:10:42.949
going to be part of um at first i wanted everybody
01:10:42.949 --> 01:10:46.850
to really like like me and understand me because
01:10:46.850 --> 01:10:50.149
like i said once again I always felt like I was
01:10:50.149 --> 01:10:51.949
the missing piece of the puzzle. Like, I'm the
01:10:51.949 --> 01:10:55.270
realest when it comes to this shit. But at this
01:10:55.270 --> 01:10:59.149
point now, I realize so many people was used
01:10:59.149 --> 01:11:01.289
to the Fugazi, and this is the times that we
01:11:01.289 --> 01:11:06.340
living in. So I just don't give a fuck what nobody
01:11:06.340 --> 01:11:10.909
think about me if it's bad. I'm not here to be
01:11:10.909 --> 01:11:16.199
liked by anybody. I don't give a fuck. My goal
01:11:16.199 --> 01:11:18.300
is to be the greatest fighter of all time, and
01:11:18.300 --> 01:11:20.170
that's what I'm going to do. Whether you hate
01:11:20.170 --> 01:11:23.569
me or love me, that's just what it is. What I
01:11:23.569 --> 01:11:26.689
say and what I speak is never meant to harm anybody
01:11:26.689 --> 01:11:31.029
or hurt anybody. I always wanted to be looked
01:11:31.029 --> 01:11:34.529
at as a people's champion. But what I realized
01:11:34.529 --> 01:11:37.489
when I was watching the podcast with my favorite
01:11:37.489 --> 01:11:40.609
basketball player, Allen Iverson, he said, I
01:11:40.609 --> 01:11:43.329
realized people are just not going to like you
01:11:43.329 --> 01:11:47.479
just because you are who you are. And that's
01:11:47.479 --> 01:11:49.920
what I came to realize. So with that being said,
01:11:50.140 --> 01:11:53.130
it's going to be a lot of hate. I just don't
01:11:53.130 --> 01:11:56.930
give a fuck. All I care about is winning and
01:11:56.930 --> 01:12:01.520
making myself proud and my family proud and winning
01:12:01.520 --> 01:12:05.020
and at a dominant fashion at that. So that's
01:12:05.020 --> 01:12:08.029
all that matters. How did you get the job done
01:12:08.029 --> 01:12:12.140
on November 7th? Listening to my team, being
01:12:12.140 --> 01:12:14.579

01:12:25.100 --> 01:12:28.000

the point cowboys gonna fuck him up Listen, I
01:13:57.989 --> 01:14:01.229
just want to point out That jr. Bell of the boxing
01:14:01.229 --> 01:14:03.789
source has been an enemy of the ball squad for
01:14:03.789 --> 01:14:08.010
about 10 years now Okay, this guy this guy has
01:14:08.010 --> 01:14:12.050
been an enemy for like 10 years Well, that's
01:14:12.050 --> 01:14:17.069
who I want on my team. I don't want nobody playing
01:14:17.069 --> 01:14:19.590
both sides. It's either you with them or you
01:14:19.590 --> 01:14:22.470
with me. I got to tell you, that's what it seems
01:14:22.470 --> 01:14:24.069
like with Matt. It seems like he's playing both
01:14:24.069 --> 01:14:26.529
sides here. I'm not playing both sides. I'm just
01:14:26.529 --> 01:14:29.029
saying, man. Listen, man. You're not because
01:14:29.029 --> 01:14:31.590
I know what you really said. But I know what
01:14:31.590 --> 01:14:34.770
you really said. So I know. I know. I know you
01:14:34.770 --> 01:14:38.149
like it over here better. Oh, man. I know what
01:14:38.149 --> 01:14:41.640
you really said. It's like before Shawn Michaels
01:14:41.640 --> 01:14:44.220
super kicked Ric Flair, he said, I love you,
01:14:44.260 --> 01:14:46.840
I'm sorry, and kicked him and knocked him out,
01:14:46.880 --> 01:14:50.189
man. It's like one of those things, man. But
01:14:50.189 --> 01:14:52.489
listen, I appreciate you joining us. Before you
01:14:52.489 --> 01:14:55.590
get out of here, Canelo Alvarez is coming back
01:14:55.590 --> 01:14:58.289
today against Christian DeBilly. I know you follow
01:14:58.289 --> 01:15:00.289
the fight game. You're one of the sharp boxers
01:15:00.289 --> 01:15:04.010
out there. A lot of people say Canelo's washed.
01:15:04.210 --> 01:15:07.909
My host, Ezra, saying that. I think if Billy
01:15:07.909 --> 01:15:11.789
got nothing for him as a fighter and as an analyst
01:15:11.789 --> 01:15:14.369
and someone who knows boxing, how do you think
01:15:14.369 --> 01:15:17.069
that fight going to go today? I think Canelo's
01:15:17.069 --> 01:15:19.210
going to beat him. I think the experience is,
01:15:19.350 --> 01:15:21.449
and you can't sit there and say he watched because
01:15:21.449 --> 01:15:25.029
he lost to Terrence, Bud, Crawford. We're talking
01:15:25.029 --> 01:15:26.949
about the best fighter in the world right now.
01:15:26.989 --> 01:15:30.149
What are we talking about? Come on. You can't
01:15:30.149 --> 01:15:32.170
say he watched. And that's the thing about boxing.
01:15:32.289 --> 01:15:36.329
Once you lose, they try to out you. as you can't
01:15:36.329 --> 01:15:39.789
fight when all reality the opponents back then
01:15:39.789 --> 01:15:42.229
like when we talk about the 80s and the 90s the
01:15:42.229 --> 01:15:43.989
guy that had eight fights that got knocked out
01:15:43.989 --> 01:15:46.850
five times was dangerous I'm like he got hands
01:15:46.850 --> 01:15:49.890
like this so it's just one of those things man
01:15:49.890 --> 01:15:52.350
like that absolutely you can't take away from
01:15:52.350 --> 01:15:54.310
everything the man done in the sport and who
01:15:54.310 --> 01:15:57.529
he is I don't think he washed I think he's gonna
01:15:57.529 --> 01:16:01.750
beat the guy thank you if he did lose would you
01:16:01.750 --> 01:16:04.050
think oh he might be past a little bit come on
01:16:04.050 --> 01:16:11.149
man Hey, as messed up as it sounds, that wouldn't
01:16:11.149 --> 01:16:14.470
be giving Billy any credit, I would say. But
01:16:14.470 --> 01:16:19.310
it's like, that's wrong. That's where we're at.
01:16:21.970 --> 01:16:24.470
Listen, man, I appreciate you joining us, man.
01:16:24.770 --> 01:16:26.609
Best of luck in your next fight. I'm looking
01:16:26.609 --> 01:16:29.949
forward to it. Is it going to be live on The
01:16:29.949 --> 01:16:32.050
Zone? Or is it going to be live on Win Records?
01:16:32.569 --> 01:16:35.590
Where can people watch your fight at? Live on
01:16:35.590 --> 01:16:38.229
the Zone is the co -main event for Abraham Perez
01:16:38.229 --> 01:16:42.989
versus the other guy. Yankee Rivera. Yeah, yeah,
01:16:43.010 --> 01:16:45.949
yeah. That's going to be a good fight, but let's
01:16:45.949 --> 01:16:48.789
be honest. I know you can't say this, but the
01:16:48.789 --> 01:16:51.149
real main event is going to be Lord Pretty Cowboy
01:16:51.149 --> 01:16:54.270
against D .R. Nicholson. It is. Why
can't he
01:16:54.270 --> 01:16:55.970
say that? Of course he can say that. Well, because
01:16:55.970 --> 01:16:57.670
it might get Salida mad. You don't even know,
01:16:57.750 --> 01:17:03.829
man. Salida know. You don't want to block me.
01:17:03.850 --> 01:17:06.890
Demetri, if you're watching this, you know. You
01:17:06.890 --> 01:17:11.979
know I'm the man. Lord Pretty Cabo, ladies and
01:17:11.979 --> 01:17:13.960
gentlemen. Like I said, he comes back to the
01:17:13.960 --> 01:17:17.659
ring November 7th live on The Zone from Albuquerque,
01:17:17.840 --> 01:17:29.819
New Mexico against Deion Nicholson. That's the
01:17:29.819 --> 01:17:35.829
thing about me. I don't got a squad. i'm gonna
01:17:35.829 --> 01:17:39.590
have to send this one out to diante man i'm one
01:17:39.590 --> 01:17:44.300
man or me in this man for life you know no doubt
01:17:44.300 --> 01:17:48.699
no doubt man just me and my mirror just me and
01:17:48.699 --> 01:17:56.369
my mirror ah man this was fun man this was fun
01:17:56.369 --> 01:18:04.609
definitely fun ah that was fun man that was fun
01:18:04.609 --> 01:18:08.409
that was some good stuff Matt, when you said
01:18:08.409 --> 01:18:10.170
drip, I'm not going to lie, you sound 100 years
01:18:10.170 --> 01:18:12.090
old. I'm not going to lie to you. I said, man,
01:18:12.109 --> 01:18:14.550
that guy sounds old. Bro, I sounded like I was
01:18:14.550 --> 01:18:18.229
with it. Man, I was like this guy, drip. I sounded
01:18:18.229 --> 01:18:20.149
hit. And I'm not even sure people say that anymore.
01:18:20.210 --> 01:18:23.050
Just you sound old saying it. Nah. I'm going
01:18:23.050 --> 01:18:24.729
to leave and come back because the camera's all
01:18:24.729 --> 01:18:25.949
screwed up. It happened during the interview.
01:18:26.149 --> 01:18:28.109
No, no, you're just luckily. No, you look fine.
01:18:28.590 --> 01:18:31.430
No, I can't turn it this way. And it's not working.
01:18:31.470 --> 01:18:34.649
You just did. No, no, just leave it. Just leave
01:18:34.649 --> 01:18:36.710
it. That's right. I can't see anything. What
01:18:36.710 --> 01:18:39.770
I do, I can't see anything. Do you need to see
01:18:39.770 --> 01:18:43.550
anything? Yes, I need to see what it looks like.
01:18:51.090 --> 01:18:56.390
Wait, why did he start talking fast like that
01:18:56.390 --> 01:18:59.529
all of a sudden? I have no idea. Matt, so one
01:18:59.529 --> 01:19:00.909
question we had from the listeners, just while
01:19:00.909 --> 01:19:02.350
we're waiting for Ezra to get back for his breakdown,
01:19:02.510 --> 01:19:03.850
because I think this is a good question for you.
01:19:03.909 --> 01:19:05.710
How would a fight between Overton and Najee Lopez
01:19:05.710 --> 01:19:14.029
look? Like a destruction. Come on, man. And now
01:19:14.029 --> 01:19:16.250
he looks like an idiot. Look, all you see is
01:19:16.250 --> 01:19:22.199
his hand. Look at this guy. He looks exactly
01:19:22.199 --> 01:19:25.100
the
same. Does it work now? He looks exactly
01:19:25.100 --> 01:19:28.439
the same. Except the picture's not moving. No,
01:19:28.520 --> 01:19:30.140
you look frozen now. Yeah, the picture's not
01:19:30.140 --> 01:19:36.029
moving now, you idiot. You made it worse. No
01:19:36.029 --> 01:19:38.470
way. You made it worse. Oh, wait, wait. I think
01:19:38.470 --> 01:19:45.479
it's good now. Okay. All right On this card break
01:19:45.479 --> 01:19:46.840
down this fight and then we'll get the picks
01:19:46.840 --> 01:19:51.600
for the day. Oh Okay Listen, it's a one fight
01:19:51.600 --> 01:19:58.340
card No, it's not the one fight it's a one fight,
01:19:58.380 --> 01:20:02.720
okay Okay, listen Canelo versus a Billy you guys
01:20:02.720 --> 01:20:05.060
know I'm picking and Billy I think that Canelo
01:20:05.060 --> 01:20:07.680
is sharp early in fights that I think is more
01:20:07.680 --> 01:20:10.380
most effective first six rounds of a fight. That's
01:20:10.380 --> 01:20:12.359
why you're seeing early knockdowns come. And
01:20:12.359 --> 01:20:14.500
Billy has, we know what he's going to do. We
01:20:14.500 --> 01:20:16.199
know what his game plan is and you know what
01:20:16.199 --> 01:20:19.039
he has to do. He has to get on Canelo. The one
01:20:19.039 --> 01:20:20.500
thing that Matt keeps comparing to is the Kirkland
01:20:20.500 --> 01:20:22.420
fight, which I don't think is an insane comparison
01:20:22.420 --> 01:20:24.140
because I do think that that's kind of the same
01:20:24.140 --> 01:20:25.960
game plan. What did Kirkland say? He says, I
01:20:25.960 --> 01:20:28.579
want him to feel me breathe on him, right? That's
01:20:28.579 --> 01:20:30.779
what he said. And that's what Billy needs. He
01:20:30.779 --> 01:20:32.920
needs Canelo to feel him breathing on him. He
01:20:32.920 --> 01:20:36.079
needs to be so close to him that he's putting
01:20:36.079 --> 01:20:38.439
so much pressure and forcing Canelo. to work
01:20:38.439 --> 01:20:40.140
at a rate that he doesn't want to work at this
01:20:40.140 --> 01:20:42.079
age. He doesn't want to work at this point. And
01:20:42.079 --> 01:20:45.899
he needs to get Canelo in a firefight. He needs
01:20:45.899 --> 01:20:48.199
to get Canelo in a phone booth fight. And he
01:20:48.199 --> 01:20:50.579
needs to keep that going until after the second
01:20:50.579 --> 01:20:52.000
half of the fight, Canelo falls off and then
01:20:52.000 --> 01:20:53.520
he can keep pouring it on. Now, that's going
01:20:53.520 --> 01:20:55.239
to say, hey, well, he doesn't have the best gas
01:20:55.239 --> 01:20:57.579
tank. I'm not quite sure on that. I think that
01:20:57.579 --> 01:20:59.420
he was in a really tough fight. And that the
01:20:59.420 --> 01:21:01.060
guy that he was fighting was coming on in the
01:21:01.060 --> 01:21:02.520
second half of the fight. I don't think Canelo's
01:21:02.520 --> 01:21:03.939
going to be coming on in the second half of the
01:21:03.939 --> 01:21:05.760
fight. I think that that's what happened in that
01:21:05.760 --> 01:21:07.220
fight. And we're saying, oh, he has a basket
01:21:07.220 --> 01:21:09.000
gas tank because of that. I think that Billy
01:21:09.000 --> 01:21:12.939
could keep a rate and a pressure and keep on
01:21:12.939 --> 01:21:15.840
Canelo to make this a real bad problem. I think
01:21:15.840 --> 01:21:17.960
if Canelo doesn't land something really devastating
01:21:17.960 --> 01:21:20.039
early of this fight, then he's going to be in
01:21:20.039 --> 01:21:21.479
trouble the second half of it. If he didn't land
01:21:21.479 --> 01:21:23.699
something to change it. Yo, I don't mean to interrupt
01:21:23.699 --> 01:21:29.149
you, but we got three minutes until. David Picasso
01:21:29.149 --> 01:21:33.789
versus Karl Martin. Right now, Karl Martin is
01:21:33.789 --> 01:21:38.569
a plus 410 underdog. Guys, it's money on the
01:21:38.569 --> 01:21:42.340
floor. Money on the floor, guys. It's money on
01:21:42.340 --> 01:21:45.960
the floor. The wonder boy, Karl Martin. Okay,
01:21:45.979 --> 01:21:48.420
question. You want to pick a fight? You want
01:21:48.420 --> 01:21:51.500
to pick a fight real quick? No. I'll take Picasso.
01:21:51.800 --> 01:21:54.500
I'll be a five. No, I'm just alerting the people.
01:21:56.310 --> 01:21:59.470
We don't do what we don't do a preliminary fights,
01:21:59.470 --> 01:22:03.750
all right I think this is interesting you guys
01:22:03.750 --> 01:22:08.649
Can even pick oh you can even pick a one so it
01:22:08.649 --> 01:22:13.250
doesn't even impact As we said it's a one fight
01:22:13.250 --> 01:22:15.949
card, so we're gonna make this a one fight card
01:22:19.069 --> 01:22:20.670
before i was really interrupted by something
01:22:20.670 --> 01:22:22.250
this guy won't even pick so how are you gonna
01:22:22.250 --> 01:22:23.970
put your money on if he won't even put his money
01:22:23.970 --> 01:22:26.250
on a poor guy points on it you know what i mean
01:22:26.250 --> 01:22:29.109
well here's the thing right uh if canel doesn't
01:22:29.109 --> 01:22:31.010
land something devastating to change this fight
01:22:31.010 --> 01:22:33.109
in the first in the in the first half of the
01:22:33.109 --> 01:22:34.729
fight i think there's gonna go i think it's gonna
01:22:34.729 --> 01:22:36.109
start going south i think this is gonna be a
01:22:36.109 --> 01:22:38.470
really action -packed fight to start off. I think
01:22:38.470 --> 01:22:40.069
it might be an action fight in the second half
01:22:40.069 --> 01:22:41.350
of the fight. I just think it needs to get the
01:22:41.350 --> 01:22:44.069
better of it. I think this is a sleeper for fight
01:22:44.069 --> 01:22:46.229
of the year. I think this is going to be a really
01:22:46.229 --> 01:22:47.770
entertaining fight. I can't see it not being
01:22:47.770 --> 01:22:50.729
entertaining because either way, right? And Billy's
01:22:50.729 --> 01:22:53.430
going to go at him. And in Matt's
theory, he's
01:22:53.430 --> 01:22:55.869
going to get caught doing that. Well, either
01:22:55.869 --> 01:22:57.789
way, then that will be the ability to go all
01:22:57.789 --> 01:22:59.170
out, and Canelo's going to catch him in between
01:22:59.170 --> 01:23:01.090
shots. So that's still going to be a good fight.
01:23:01.250 --> 01:23:03.470
I think this has the formula to be a very, very,
01:23:03.470 --> 01:23:05.130
very good fight. I just think if Billy's going
01:23:05.130 --> 01:23:06.109
to get the better of it, I'm going to take him
01:23:06.109 --> 01:23:14.640
by decision. Hey, guys, money on the floor. Canelo
01:23:14.640 --> 01:23:19.279
Alvarez by knockout, plus 350. It's money on
01:23:19.279 --> 01:23:23.359
the floor, guys. This guy can't see Canelo. What
01:23:23.359 --> 01:23:25.560
are the odds right now for this fight, just a
01:23:25.560 --> 01:23:28.569
money line? Canelo is the favorite. Canelo was
01:23:28.569 --> 01:23:33.310
minus 330. Christian and Billy's plus 260. There's
01:23:33.310 --> 01:23:34.609
definitely some money on the floor. You're right
01:23:34.609 --> 01:23:43.779
about that. Somebody tell Sibby Box to mind his
01:23:43.779 --> 01:23:47.699
business. Boss Yacht thinks Canelo's going to
01:23:47.699 --> 01:23:51.779
quit on his school. That'll never happen. I can't
01:23:51.779 --> 01:23:54.960
see that. I don't see that happening. Matt, what's
01:23:54.960 --> 01:23:59.430
your confidence level on Canelo? Give me Cinco.
01:24:01.100 --> 01:24:05.869
Cinco. I will take five as well. You're five
01:24:05.869 --> 01:24:10.550
on Nbili? Nbili by decision, and I'm a five.
01:24:11.050 --> 01:24:13.989
Canelo knockout, five. Now, we're on the opposite
01:24:13.989 --> 01:24:17.770
end. So, next week, either you will be in the
01:24:17.770 --> 01:24:23.229
lead, or I will be further up your ass with my
01:24:23.229 --> 01:24:26.039
foot. Let me tell you something to the fans.
01:24:26.600 --> 01:24:30.020
Once I take the lead, I won't bust this whole
01:24:30.020 --> 01:24:33.119
Matt sandbagging thing that he's trying to do.
01:24:33.520 --> 01:24:36.260
I won't do any of that. I will keep defending
01:24:36.260 --> 01:24:38.960
it. Bro, you can't do that because you think
01:24:38.960 --> 01:24:40.819
that Tyson Fury is going to beat Anthony Joshua.
01:24:41.159 --> 01:24:45.060
I do. I do. Yeah, and I don't. I know. So we're
01:24:45.060 --> 01:24:47.060
going to do opposite ends anyway. But it doesn't
01:24:47.060 --> 01:24:48.800
matter. I would never attempt it, right? Because
01:24:48.800 --> 01:24:50.460
I could just say, oh, I watched the thing and
01:24:50.460 --> 01:24:52.100
I think Joshua's going to win it. I'm not going
01:24:52.100 --> 01:24:55.869
to do that. Yeah, but it is close. Ezra gained
01:24:55.869 --> 01:24:58.750
another point last week with the Dalton Smith.
01:24:59.210 --> 01:25:01.449
I believe, was it Dalton Smith or was it the
01:25:01.449 --> 01:25:04.770
Shacky Foster? It was the Shacky Foster decision.
01:25:05.210 --> 01:25:08.970
Yeah, I took a Shacky by knockout. That was close
01:25:08.970 --> 01:25:11.010
for that last round. You know what's so funny?
01:25:11.090 --> 01:25:14.029
I said rounds 11 through 12. Yeah, I was like,
01:25:14.029 --> 01:25:19.029
oh no. That brought Ezra within four points.
01:25:19.210 --> 01:25:22.289
So after this week, he will either potentially
01:25:22.289 --> 01:25:26.470
be up one or two points or Matt will be up nine
01:25:26.470 --> 01:25:35.180
or ten points. No. your math is wrong your math
01:25:35.180 --> 01:25:39.260
is way wrong you're up four points yeah so if
01:25:39.260 --> 01:25:42.199
you get oh i forgot to subtract i forgot to subtract
01:25:42.199 --> 01:25:46.779
i forgot no no it's not that i it's not that
01:25:46.779 --> 01:25:48.539
my math was wrong my math was right i forgot
01:25:48.539 --> 01:25:55.340
a step i'm just saying it's not that my math
01:25:55.340 --> 01:25:57.279
was wrong i did the math right i forgot a step
01:25:57.279 --> 01:26:00.670
the surgery was successful But the patient died.
01:26:07.529 --> 01:26:09.489
That's always my favorite part of these shows.
01:26:10.630 --> 01:26:14.189
We had a successful surgery, but there were some
01:26:14.189 --> 01:26:18.909
complications. As we close up the show before
01:26:18.909 --> 01:26:21.689
we move off the picks here, I want to say your
01:26:21.689 --> 01:26:24.850
guys' record is fantastic. Matt, 73 -21 because
01:26:24.850 --> 01:26:27.229
you got the extra for Big Lex, not the little
01:26:27.229 --> 01:26:31.300
one. And then Ezra, 72 -21. You know, if you
01:26:31.300 --> 01:26:34.039
eliminated those nonsense fights, you'd realize
01:26:34.039 --> 01:26:37.470
I'm winning, right? No, no, no. He only got one
01:26:37.470 --> 01:26:40.270
extra point for that. Oh, was he? Oh, okay. Yeah,
01:26:40.270 --> 01:26:43.529
and that was the only one. You didn't get subtracted
01:26:43.529 --> 01:26:45.409
any points for those fights, either. Oh, okay.
01:26:45.609 --> 01:26:47.329
I was like, I didn't see that. No, those were
01:26:47.329 --> 01:26:50.430
completely bonus fights. Shout out to Big Lex,
01:26:50.470 --> 01:26:53.609
not the little one. And since we're here, we're
01:26:53.609 --> 01:26:55.689
talking about a woman that Baby Lex left for
01:26:55.689 --> 01:26:57.729
the little one. Can you read hip -hop music real
01:26:57.729 --> 01:27:00.409
quick? Oh, shit. Do I have the music queued up?
01:27:01.930 --> 01:27:11.510
Don't hit his music. There you go. All right.
01:27:11.569 --> 01:27:13.890
Now, usually the rumor report is going to be
01:27:13.890 --> 01:27:19.289
on the Brunch Boxing 999 tier, which you guys
01:27:19.289 --> 01:27:22.189
should go subscribe to. But I'm going to give
01:27:22.189 --> 01:27:26.199
y 'all a little nugget. Word on the street. Word
01:27:26.199 --> 01:27:29.359
on the street is that Clarissa Shields' next
01:27:29.359 --> 01:27:33.319
fight is being finalized for February. The quote
01:27:33.319 --> 01:27:37.350
will be back in February. If you want to know
01:27:37.350 --> 01:27:39.729
who the opponent is, you're going to have to
01:27:39.729 --> 01:27:44.369
sign up. Sorry. Sorry, boys. Sorry, boys. You're
01:27:44.369 --> 01:27:46.510
going to have to sign up. Make sure you go subscribe.
01:27:47.149 --> 01:27:49.310
Go subscribe, ladies and gentlemen. Speaking
01:27:49.310 --> 01:27:51.329
of the member platform, wait. Do you have more
01:27:51.329 --> 01:27:53.970
on the rumor report here before I ask? No. No,
01:27:53.989 --> 01:27:56.409
they got to pay for that. Okay, okay. Before
01:27:56.409 --> 01:27:58.770
we move on from that, you mentioned the member
01:27:58.770 --> 01:28:01.869
platform. We discussed adding a feature to the
01:28:01.869 --> 01:28:05.920
top tier. Are we adding them to the... the pound
01:28:05.920 --> 01:28:13.810
-for -pound ranking panel. Fuck no. We discussed
01:28:13.810 --> 01:28:16.609
it. I wanted to know if it was going to happen.
01:28:17.409 --> 01:28:19.909
Come on, man. They don't know. Listen, you got
01:28:19.909 --> 01:28:21.630
a guy in here saying that Canelo's going to quit
01:28:21.630 --> 01:28:23.630
on his school. You think he should be on the
01:28:23.630 --> 01:28:25.829
pound -for -pound panel? If he's paying the $12
01:28:25.829 --> 01:28:28.590
.99 that YouTube is upcharging after we set the
01:28:28.590 --> 01:28:32.439
price, absolutely. Yeah, that's true. That's
01:28:32.439 --> 01:28:34.579
true. You know what he said about the YouTube
01:28:34.579 --> 01:28:37.609
upcharge? Is we still kept our price though?
01:28:40.510 --> 01:28:53.649
Hey, there's a reason why we did that Do you
01:28:53.649 --> 01:28:56.890
know the reason why we did that YouTube does
01:28:56.890 --> 01:28:59.229
not allow you to change the prices once you said
01:28:59.229 --> 01:29:05.220
it I tried to change the price Man it all didn't
01:29:05.220 --> 01:29:08.140
allow you after the show run a poll on the brunch
01:29:08.140 --> 01:29:10.920
boxing Twitter page for people to oh Actually,
01:29:11.060 --> 01:29:12.640
we have the pics context go to brunch boxing
01:29:12.640 --> 01:29:14.640
comm slash picks enter your pick for the fight
01:29:14.640 --> 01:29:17.479
Make sure you go and try to take a J row down
01:29:17.479 --> 01:29:20.949
to win Ezra's money I was thinking should we
01:29:20.949 --> 01:29:23.930
make these last few pigs more valuable than the
01:29:23.930 --> 01:29:30.840
other pigs? Great That's a horrible idea. It's
01:29:30.840 --> 01:29:32.939
like Double Jeopardy. But a great comment from
01:29:32.939 --> 01:29:35.960
Boxing Guru. Ezra, nice Halloween costume. What
01:29:35.960 --> 01:29:40.579
are you dressed as, Ezra? As a fashionista, I
01:29:40.579 --> 01:29:45.060
guess. You know what? We didn't say it all show,
01:29:45.220 --> 01:29:46.560
actually. Didn't say it at the beginning. Didn't
01:29:46.560 --> 01:29:48.359
say it. Happy Halloween, everyone. Yeah, this
01:29:48.359 --> 01:29:50.520
has not been a Halloween -themed show at all.
01:29:50.560 --> 01:29:52.920
At all. There was no Halloween theme. We didn't
01:29:52.920 --> 01:29:55.600
even ask. You did it last week with your Chop
01:29:55.600 --> 01:29:57.859
Chop graphics and everything. You were a week
01:29:57.859 --> 01:30:00.649
early. There's no spirit in this show. There's
01:30:00.649 --> 01:30:03.510
no Halloween spirit. Bro, you did this entire
01:30:03.510 --> 01:30:07.130
show with your mask on, and you're telling me
01:30:07.130 --> 01:30:12.199
this is a Halloween thing. Come on, man. You
01:30:12.199 --> 01:30:14.800
know what's funny, though, is the joke about
01:30:14.800 --> 01:30:16.800
my outfit, which is a great outfit, by the way.
01:30:16.880 --> 01:30:19.260
But the joke about this, it just shows me that
01:30:19.260 --> 01:30:20.640
when Oteef was talking about that, it was so
01:30:20.640 --> 01:30:23.420
over everyone's head that they had no idea what
01:30:23.420 --> 01:30:25.060
they were talking about. This is why people don't
01:30:25.060 --> 01:30:27.880
understand. Why does Tink's picture get all these
01:30:27.880 --> 01:30:29.460
views and everything like that? Because you don't
01:30:29.460 --> 01:30:32.069
understand fashion. That's why. Yeah, I keep
01:30:32.069 --> 01:30:34.609
saying that. JB, you say you're dressed as a
01:30:34.609 --> 01:30:39.149
Bass Pro Shop salesman. Yeah, as it looks like
01:30:39.149 --> 01:30:44.479
he works at Dick's. Hey, yo. All right. Anything
01:30:44.479 --> 01:30:47.140
else you guys have to talk about today? Nah.
01:30:47.340 --> 01:30:50.960
Hey, listen. I might do a post -fight live from
01:30:50.960 --> 01:30:55.270
a New York City bar. I might do a live post -fight
01:30:55.270 --> 01:30:58.470
with some special guests. Some special boxing
01:30:58.470 --> 01:31:01.840
guests. It's going to be a real... Big boxing
01:31:01.840 --> 01:31:06.689
canola party. Okay. Someone says Ezra's dressed
01:31:06.689 --> 01:31:08.069
like he's about to go on a Chris Hansen show.
01:31:08.590 --> 01:31:15.649
Damn. As Chris Hansen? I don't think so. I don't
01:31:15.649 --> 01:31:18.649
think nobody. I just came here to order pizza.
01:31:18.729 --> 01:31:21.670
Let me tell you something. All these slobs commenting
01:31:21.670 --> 01:31:23.510
on their computer while they're dressed like
01:31:23.510 --> 01:31:25.710
crap in front of the computer. I'm sorry. I don't
01:31:25.710 --> 01:31:27.670
take it as offense. Where does a badger want
01:31:27.670 --> 01:31:30.989
it? A bunch of slobs with a bunch of cheetah
01:31:30.989 --> 01:31:33.770
fingers typing up, oh, he looks like he's like
01:31:33.770 --> 01:31:37.470
this. You see me out. You pay the $9 .99 and

01:31:56.090 --> 01:31:57.750
this? Let me tell you something. Go look in the
01:31:57.750 --> 01:32:00.989
mirror. Go ask your wife. Would you like me to
01:32:00.989 --> 01:32:03.310
dress this way? Would you like me to maintain
01:32:03.310 --> 01:32:09.329
myself the way this guy does? You know what?
