00:09:33
Speaker
From Friday through Sunday, we will see three consecutive nights of fights featuring four. current or former yeah ESPN pound for pound fighters.
00:09:44
Speaker
naoa In a way, the monster will fight on Sunday in Vegas. First time in four years. Canelo Alvarez going outside of the U.S. or Mexico, ah where he's been nine of the past 10 years to go to Saudi Arabia for the first time on Saturday. We'll talk about that.
00:10:01
Speaker
But The big one they're talking about, the one that's coming Friday night, a three-headed monster with an outdoor component. Turkey a la Sheik is putting together another spectacle in Times Square, New York City, featuring Devin Haney, Tiafimo Lopez, and Ryan Garcia. This is going to be one of, again, the biggest boxing weekend of all time.
00:10:30
Speaker
Let's start off first. Again, we we got to talk about what's happening in New York, right? It's not just the fighters. It's the venue. It's going to be outside. We don't even know what to expect.
00:10:43
Speaker
We do know we will see Teofimo Lopez defend his WBO junior welterweight champion against undefeated Arnold Barbosa. We do know Ryan Garcia will fight former junior welterweight champion Rolando Raleigh Romero.
00:10:59
Speaker
And we will know we know that former undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney returns against Jose Ramirez. Other than that, other than the Fatal Fury City of Wolves, we do not know what else to expect.
00:11:13
Speaker
So before we get into the actual matches, I just want to get quick, you know, our thoughts from everybody on what do we think about this huge boxing weekend and New York, ah the spectacle that Turkey's putting together. Clever D.
00:11:26
Speaker
ah First of Furious for few years first ah First off I want to talk about um Y'all better buy that goddamn video game Because they be pumping it down our goddamn faces Fitter Fury, i don't know if it's on PS5, PS3, Nintendo ah Sega 16, Sega Saturn, I don't care what it's on Buy that goddamn game I don't see it overseas, I see it now Buy that game Second, this just shows you the budget we have I think it's ah a trillion dollar budget, I could be wrong But you know, to shut down Times Square that tells you how much money everyone else everyone else is up against. So that's why all the other major promotions are just get down lay down season. air Everybody's getting down and hopping to Turkey. allla shek But you know, this is what money does. And I'm all forced. I want to see big fights.
00:12:08
Speaker
Yeah. You're not wrong, though, because it was actually the in the main ring at WrestleMania, as you would remember. but but I was like, wow, they are everywhere. Josh, what do you think about this amazing weekend?
00:12:19
Speaker
Crazy, crazy. Just the thought of shutting down Times Square for any type of be event outside of the ball dropping on New Year's. But that being said, for boxing event at that, I think that's major as far as attention. Yeah, definitely a lot of moolah involved, but I think it's major because of ah or for attention as well, because I feel like mainstream media probably will pick up this one here in the aftermath just to mention it because it's such a audacious thing that they're doing right there, right in Times Square. in
00:12:56
Speaker
As I understand it, if you're around there, you can just watch the fight. It's great. You can just watch it. So that's crazy.
00:13:06
Speaker
Yeah, no, that is crazy. You are right. If you are in the area, you will be able to watch the fight for free. um yeah Most of the ringside seats are said to be reserved for, obviously, rich people and the people that Turkey on the seat wants to be there.
Boxing Business and Fighter Strategies
00:13:21
Speaker
Because as we said, right, and as Justin James says, a lot of money, though. And I want to know how much money do we think it actually took the ring out of?
00:13:32
Speaker
How the hell do you shut down New York, like Josh said, other than Mississippi? Bobby, what do you think? um This is like a who's your daddy moment.
00:13:46
Speaker
from Basically, this way who's your daddy? Like, didn't we tell wait a minute, we're going to shut down the most famous city in the world, and we're going to put some jesters on stage, you know,
00:14:02
Speaker
Midgets on tricycles and in unicycles. You know what mean? Like, that's what we're getting ready to get. And i don't know you know, if you got money, I guess you could do whatever the hell you want to do. How about that?
00:14:17
Speaker
Right. yeah I mean, nothing else needs to be said. That is exactly how this is going down. Skywalker, what are your thoughts? Man, this is amazing, man. One of the best fights last year wasn't as far as competitive, but, you know, the Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, to have both of them on the same card, it's it's crazy. You got the the the buildup between Tiafemo and Arnold Barbosa. You know, they they hate each other.
00:14:43
Speaker
Arnold Barbosa has been chasing Tiafemo since top rank, and now he's with Golden Boy. He's getting that shot. He's he's happy, you know. It's a crazy weekend, man. We got Canelo and Saudi.
00:14:54
Speaker
That's big too. Skoll's been training hard. I've been keeping an eye on Skoll too, man. Skoll looks like he's going to bring it. you know It might be a better better competition, I think, maybe.
00:15:05
Speaker
We'll see what happens. Now, since you brought it up, I would be remiss as a journalist to not – posed a question that everyone is watching is asking that's watching here and and let everybody give their thoughts in, but why aren't Ryan Garcia and Devin Hayden fighting, right? We saw Garcia, April 2024, majority decision over Hayden, which was overturned after a failed VADA drug test for me, forcing him to forfeit his fight, serve a one-year suspension for having Osterene in his system.
00:15:36
Speaker
Neither has competed since. They're expected to meet next. Why not have just met now in this sector? That's a good question, but it's all about the money, man. Like just the buildup of this card is building for an even bigger fight in the future, man. Who knows what city they're going to shut down for for that fight where they're going to have it at. I know the Spears have been in talks, you know, a big fight at the Spear.
00:16:02
Speaker
um We'll see, man. It's just the way business is. It's just, their you it's the first fight coming back. um First fight for Devin Haney after taking that L. So it's both their first fight. They're on the same card. Is this building it up for for another massive card?
00:16:19
Speaker
Okay, good. Papi, you got any thoughts on that? oh I feel like they basically are going to need to have –
00:16:33
Speaker
Because everyone was expecting them to fight. Everyone was expecting their next fight to be that fight. and Well, a lot of people expected Devin Haney to have fun. So look, bro. They're going to have to wait until some of these ICE agents get freed up.
00:16:51
Speaker
Because I promise you right now, Devin and Ryan was fighting, it would be some people that would be sweating. sweating like a motherfucker like man i want to go out there and talk to devon but i ain't trying to get snatched up you feel me um yeah hey man i'm i'm i'm hey i'm i'm shooting you feel me y'all we we try to we're trying to bring all the belts back to north america can we get along for that otherwise i got jokes for days you feel me
00:17:23
Speaker
i Yeah, yeah, we we we hear we heard we heard some of the little words, some of the things that slipped up at the press conference. with Oh, man. oh We said we heard about bananas getting showing up in people's ah hotel rooms and things like that.
00:17:37
Speaker
Yeah. So um the the the daddy that is like, okay, listen, I'm going to put my kids down together, and we're going shut everything down in New York City.
00:17:49
Speaker
And if if I like this, then you know what? Maybe we'll give you guys that. So it'll happen. um It's just too much money, too much money to be had, but just don't come for me.
00:18:07
Speaker
Jokes, anything on that? Hey, you know, I think that, yeah, it's of those situations where I think the De Niro matters right there. They want a little build up and then they're going to make it mega here.
00:18:23
Speaker
towards the end of the year. So I expect it to be next for both of them. And I'd imagine one or maybe even both of them, they might not have wanted it right then and there, you know, just to get a filler because they've both been out for, I guess, since that last fight for each of them, essentially. So that's a good long period for sure.
00:18:44
Speaker
Yeah. That is a very, very good point. Can he... he Kenyon Lofton says, Ring has truly become the only boxing vehicle that matters. Networks and promoters don't matter anymore. Gold standard has been set.
00:19:00
Speaker
ah Morning Wombat Best boxing combat content on YouTube. Yes morning Wombat. We appreciate you Everybody make sure you subscribe everybody here and like them as well.
00:19:12
Speaker
So what do you think about ah do you have any extra thoughts on that? You agree with everybody on um the party much agree. I'm talking about like RC and in a hanging out fight it's because you know I think Haney did need that time off. um He was killing himself just to make 35. Then he had the the the two fights at 140.
00:19:30
Speaker
when you fight You take the damage he got, everybody was like, oh yeah, Garcia knocked him. He didn't knock him out. he He went the distance with him. When you fight somebody, you us that they got steroids and whatnot and the ridicule he took. so He needed to get his mind right and get his body right. He's been fighting since he was 15, 16 fighting in Mexico and stuff. and Garcia, it I think People complained about him suing, but he would not have got he won't we wouldn't get the rematch if he didn't do.
00:19:56
Speaker
So one had to happen so they could fight. Garcia did not want to give him a rematch. So he had to sue him to get the rematch. Now that's why he dropped the charges. So, um you know, ah it tough tune-up fights for them both. But, yeah, I mean, I think that's the reason why they couldn't do the fight straight up. They had to fight somebody, build it up a little bit, and then go at it.
00:20:16
Speaker
Yeah. Man, I would have pulled a Conor McGregor, bro. I would have found me a dolly. I would have tossed that mug across the table and tried to hit him in his head. He got the protection. He got the protection. yeah He got for the protection. Devin ain't got that.
00:20:29
Speaker
I'd have tossed out of through a chair. some Something's getting launched. you can't We can't be in the same room, bro. I don't know how Turkey Alla Sheik is messing with what he said about Muslims and Blacks. We can't be in the same room.
00:20:45
Speaker
and yeah As you all have previously previously said plenty of times in this brief discussion, money talks. I think that is the theme of what we're seeing going on here.
Cultural Impact and Showmanship in Boxing
00:20:57

Chris Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn: Fight Analysis
00:26:50
Speaker
First of all, we know we talked about this weekend. We talked about first fight coming up in New York City. Before we get to there, though, there was a fight that we had last week. That was a pretty big one. Clubber D, you did a live stream on this.
00:27:04
Speaker
It was Chris Stank Jr. versus Connor Benn in a middleweight 12-round bout, which was decided once sixteen 112 unanimous decision for Eubank on all three cards over Ben at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. So this was a a bout that was originally scheduled in 2022 and was canceled and was brought back. Clubber, you did this live stream. Let's start with you.
00:27:31
Speaker
What are your thoughts on this fight? I mean, the first the first big thing in the fight was that ah senior showed up because we all know that the history of them i'm not talking to each other for years. um I don't know. I was around when his brother passed away from ah a couple of years ago, but they just don't they don't get along. And a fact when that don't know if that's a Maybach or where that was, I pulled up and he walked out.
00:27:52
Speaker
and they walked out together. The whole crowd went crazy. I forgot who was fighting. I think Liam Smith was fighting at the time. They were like, damn, that fight. Everybody just cheering, jumping up and down. I saw i saw someone threw a fish and chips in the air. Like, oh, man, look at that. so They were psyched when they showed them on the screen. so ah That fight did good. I think I think i read today did 610.
00:28:12
Speaker
20K worldwide, which is amazing for a non-title catchweight fight, which is phenomenal. It'll probably be one the, it'll go down as top five British, you know, in boxing of history. I say modern day British boxing fights, but yeah, I loved it.
00:28:26
Speaker
Eubanks, I was so scared because of the weight cut. He looked definitely in the weigh-in. If I was in America, they probably would not let that go. But um I know he went to the hospital after when he's out, but oh yeah, he put on a good show. And Conor Ben got all, he's gained my respect.
00:28:38
Speaker
I thought he was just a trump, but he gained my respect in that fight. Josh, yeah. yeah So yeah, a round of applause to both of them. They were in the hospital for a few days afterwards, after as I understand, but they put it all out you know in multiple rounds. And then the way they finished the fight, it's got to be one of the best finishes when you think about some of the great fights where you can see that both wanted it. It was written on their face and they both put out in a major way. I thought it was a solid fight from an overall perspective. You had good back and forth action throughout and certainly you could see where it looked like Ben was going to prevail there early on and then
00:29:19
Speaker
Of course, Eubanks started to get his footing come on. That size came into play, I think. And Ben just never could right crack him enough to send him down. But he was landing some pretty solid shots. Maybe if that were 147 and he was in there with someone at 147,
00:29:35
Speaker
maybe even 154, it would have done a little bit more damage to actually put the fighter down. But I give it to Eubank because he was taking him and yeah he dished some of his out ah as well.
00:29:47
Speaker
And I thought it was just a good little classic fight to try and follow up on. What their fathers did, you know, it could have gone far worse and it could have been an absolute stinker.
00:29:59
Speaker
But I think it lived up to a good deal of that hype that was put behind it. And you can see the animosity between the two. They didn't even really acknowledge each other in the aftermath of the contest there in the ring. So there's still something there.
00:30:14
Speaker
Yeah, I love that you pointed that out. And you actually did a short on that, but how you talked about how their fathers had their own. um fight, which it was just, I found that really important to bring into context before this fight. Poppy, what'd you think about that?
00:30:29
Speaker
Yeah, man. um I mean, Eubanks Pop showed up like a King Jaffe Jopha off of coming to America in this, motherfucker, with the fur on, bro. And the woolly man was right.
00:30:43
Speaker
Yo, you know what I'm saying? It was like Jeffrey off the, you know what saying? From the door to Will Smith. It was like Jeffrey, ah fighting Jeffrey, bro. like this It was cool. It was smooth. um Listen, it was action-packed.
00:31:00
Speaker
um you know If I'm being honest completely, i feel like Eubank really needed to just go in there and knock the kid out and beat him up in order to get the full credit that he deserves because obviously he's the bigger fighter.
00:31:16
Speaker
um you know yeah It's arguable who has more skill. It's argu arguable because, i mean, Oboy is very explosive. but yeah He's very explosive. He reminds me of Keith Thurman in his prime sometimes when he does some things.
00:31:31
Speaker
not saying he's at the same level, but some of the things one time you should do um you know I see that with him. and i just I thought it was a great fight. I'm here to see it again. how you know it That's the biggest fight over there. um and There's two B-level fighters and they're just putting on a show.
00:31:52
Speaker
They're giving the fans what they want. the you get Have you guys seen the promotionals? The promotions? like They actually have movies that are... Oh, man.
00:32:03
Speaker
That is incredible. but Each one they've done since the... Even AJ vs. Ngannou. All those little pre-fight little things are phenomenal. They're giving us that.
00:32:14
Speaker
They're giving us that from over there, but they're shutting New York City down with some jester-type shit. come on hey ernest heard that she said two b-level fighters yeah or yeah i'd argue with uh i did i might break one more i put no words and graduated in this ah he put on a b performance but i think that was against a drained i would even speed minus bro doubling down more than one bad agreed about eubank senior pulling up unexpectedly in the rules man
00:32:48
Speaker
quote being the most WWE
Challenges in Boxing Weight Classes
00:32:51
Speaker
moment. um com Carlos says, if I were Connor, honestly, I would go to 147, 154 and get a title before I do a rematch.
00:32:59
Speaker
I don't think 160 benefited him too much, but then you got to think about the money they're going to make in the rematch. 0.5 mil for being over. You think he's had to pay? Yeah.
00:33:10
Speaker
Yes. How ridiculous is that? Isn't it isn't that sort of our way? He's coming down. He's going up, so you got to pay that money. But I mean, have people in the past been fine that much? I don't remember it being that much but that for being half pound. He's the bigger man.
00:33:23
Speaker
yeah Ben's taking all the risks. Shout out to Karita Lee. name We appreciate you. Evening. Morning, Wombat. I wonder how Ben would fare against an elite 47-pounder like Boots or Norman Jr. I wouldn't pick Ben to be either of those guys, but but potentially ah but present problems for Barrios.
00:33:45
Speaker
Anybody got it? Barrios, maybe. Yeah, that that's what he he obviously called Barrios out because Barrios would be seen to be the weakest link like George Cambosos was when he had the belt.
00:33:58
Speaker
So obviously he's going to call that guy out. You know what mean? um Yeah, that's probably his best chance at a title at 147 for sure because Norman Jr. and, of course, we know Boots would be a problem for them for sure.
00:34:14
Speaker
A real problem. Gold member walking out to still Dre, still exhilarating. Carlos says, I think Ben can be Barrios. Maybe what's his name that beats Zoo, the other champion at 154, if anybody has a name on that.
00:34:31
Speaker
a bobby No. And or. ah No. Okay. No. From for Pandora. ah Carlos, even Ben versus Sue would be a banger.
00:34:45
Speaker
Goldmember. It's sad that British people are so weak that their goat is... Wow. Chris Eubank Jr. Look, I'm not getting into... Man, they got Billy Joe Saunders. Calm down, man.
00:34:56
Speaker
e Come on. Ain't nobody way say British people were weak. love here Man, that's a whole lot of British names attached to PEDs, though.
00:35:10
Speaker
A whole lot of them, man. Start it. dar David M.T., shout out for tuning in, fight of the year so far. time Carlos says, Barrio's still a dog, though, and also says that guy, ah yeah, Pandora.
00:35:26
Speaker
Matchable. Merzalia. Merzalia, okay. Okay. And does anybody think did? Okay.
00:35:38
Speaker
Um, I thought the fight was great, man. Um, I seen you banks getting kind of tired and like rounds eight and nine. And then like, he dug deep, bro. Like I give him a mad, mad credit for, uh, digging deep in rounds 11 and 12. That gave the fans a really good fight. Even though he didn't have a lot on his punches, they were just throwing bro. So that that was pretty dope, man. it It was, it was a war. Uh, it lived up to the hype and that's all I got on it, bro.
00:36:04
Speaker
It was a good fight, man. sixty seven i think they sold out $67,000 in that soccer stadium, which is, like like I said before, for a non-title catchweight fight.
00:36:15
Speaker
thats That's crazy numbers right there. Crazy numbers. You have to put the numbers in context, though, bro. um what um What I mean by the context is ah In the UK, they only have a couple venues, right?
00:36:28
Speaker
So, and you have like basically 3 million people competing for 65,000 seats. um seat So, you know, it's a lot it's a lot different than what it is here.
UK Boxing Culture and Upcoming Events
00:36:42
Speaker
And I just still think that their market is, I don't know, if they were charging the same prices that we charged here in America, they wouldn't need anybody else from outside their country.
00:36:53
Speaker
ah I think there was the co-op. So what I find funny, that's a smaller arena. I've seen people fight there. um i think i think that's where, was that where Shields and sort of um what's the Marshall.
00:37:07
Speaker
Marshall, yeah. Is that where they fought? Because that was an indoor venue, but that thing was sold out. you know it was Every event is sold out. Every event. they I mean, ah i see what you're saying because it's limited, but I think because of the soccer influence,
00:37:23
Speaker
Their fans are just automatically just way heads and shoulders above American fans. yeah You know what I'm saying? mean You're hearing a chance. You're hearing all that stuff. ah Depending on the soccer game, you might get a banana on the field, but we're not going to talk about that.
00:37:35
Speaker
But, um you know, or the pitch, whatever they call it. But, ah you know, their their fans are very rowdy and and i'm I'm all for it. I like the British fans when it comes to boxing. They're true sports fans, bro. they shut it They shut their their jobs down.
00:37:48
Speaker
They move the bar stuff out into the streets and people go and to celebrate and watch sports. That's what they do. It's like small town Friday night lights type stuff. yeah Oh, yeah. Some of the best. I want to experience that environment for myself there firsthand. I do think they really show up and show out.
00:38:05
Speaker
I'm sure there's some difference there in pricing it all, but Man, just the vibe they bring overall, man, it's just one of those teams that makes it a staple, that boxing makes boxing a true staple over there in a way that it travels as well. So even when they travel over here supporting their fighters, they can carve out a segment and dominate a portion of an arena just showing love in that sense as well, which I think is pretty dope.
00:38:39
Speaker
I agree. Yeah. Yeah, they definitely show off for their fighters for sure. Let's just some comments here. Ben and Marcello for the 154-pound title. I wasn't even going to try it.
00:38:55
Speaker
I kind of rushed through it. you know That's okay. You want to go find the Russian writer? Brian Mendoza would be good fight. Oh, yeah. Brian Mendoza? Hell, yeah. could just figure out the Towering Inferno.
00:39:08
Speaker
He'll take out Conor, man. Yeah. I think he can. Goldmember says Canelo is salivating at Chris Eubank's fight right now. You just knock him down one time and I'll box him in the round. Also says Eddie Hearns.
00:39:22
Speaker
All right. Cool. He could be talking to them. Let's call it. Man, that Beetlejuice pitcher is killing me, bro. um
00:39:34
Speaker
All right, cool. So let's get into the actual boxing cards now. Again, everybody, please make sure you hit that like button and subscribe to all of these channels. Friday night, New York City. There is a huge, as we mentioned, card. But first of all, I know there was a mention of wanting to talk about a young Japanese star, Raizo Tsumi, who is an undefeated prospect coming up.
00:39:58
Speaker
Gosh, I know you really peaked when I mentioned his name earlier. You want to start us off? Well, sp all ofm I will say that I did see something in regards to him for sure. But I heard that he was highly touted in the amateurs there on on the international stage ah coming out of Japan. And he has a pretty solid following is my that's my understanding. So they expect him to be a major player here in the sport early on, just given his amateur background.
00:40:31
Speaker
Hey, Josh, you are nothing more than a professional. He's fighting Lavelle Whittington on that card. Does anyone else have any thoughts on that young fighter before we go to the other fight? I think he'll win. That's my thought.
00:40:47
Speaker
Way to go out there. That's a canteen response. Hey, man, listen, bro. The Japanese are not playing around. They are moving. They're using the night on the chessboard.
00:41:01
Speaker
They're going to mess around have all these little smaller weights locked down with the belts. You have to sit in the audience where people let just sit down you're going have to go take the belt in a quiet arena.
00:41:16
Speaker
140 pounders a heavyweight for them so yeah and then uh carlos says what do you think about the nypd versus fireman looks like the fire dude been fighting all his knife with a nose like um like yeah not a dead that one of those cool things i think that since it's a new york vibe you know uh new york fire department nypd i know that uh boxing wise you always have the how police athletic leagues where they're doing some boxing things. I imagine there may be an equivalent with the firemen, not 100% sure, but I know of course,
00:41:55
Speaker
and have interacted with those that compete there in the police athletic league. So it's just one of those fun symbolic things, I think, being there in New York. So it should be pretty, ah I would say fun for this event, just to give fans a little warm up and give them something to cheer about with know those who may not even have a connection to some of the other boxers competing.
00:42:18
Speaker
Yeah, I like exactly how you think about that. If you're going to ah try to appease everybody, why not ah why not try to appease the local charities? and those local yeah and there In New York, after 9-11, the fire department, the police department, you know they were really, as they should have been as heroes, ah boosted up and ah involved with all the sporting events, really.
00:42:39
Speaker
um I know baseball, a big deal, too. I feel like NYPD should have fought at the UFC card since they're good at choking people. Yeah. Jesus. Hey, bro. but any road See? I got to leave that there for a second. because See? I can't say whether I agree or disagree, but by leaving it up, I don't know.
00:43:03
Speaker
The firefighter dude looks like he's been fighting since he was a kid. The police officer looks like he fresh off his shield.
00:43:10
Speaker
getting deep into this i need to see these guys now so i'm gonna take a look after all right let's move it into the three main fights we'll ahead and uh start off with the devin haney fight here um obviously the uh again we'll get into the other one the title fight in just a second but devin haney uh and ramirez jose ramirez devin haney's 31 to know ramirez 29 and two.
00:43:34
Speaker
Haney is 26 years old. Ramirez is six years older at 32, but Ramirez does have a one inch height advantage and 1.5 inch reach advantage.
00:43:48
Speaker
So, Clever D, let's go ahead and start with you. What are your thoughts on the Haney versus Ramirez? You hearing anything in the background? It's my dog trying to figure out his spot on the floor here. Anyways, um,
00:44:01
Speaker
So this, this, I wish it was at 147, not a little catch weight. Cause I know Ramirez, um, wanted to move up and he's, he's done at 140. Um, that's my only gripe with this fight. This is a very hard fight for a, or tough fight for Devin Hay to come back on Ramirez is no chump.
00:44:17
Speaker
Um, so I, with this fight being his first, first fight back, um, When he fought, before the Ryan fight, when he fought Regis Prograce, he had hurt Regis a couple times and almost ended the fight.
00:44:32
Speaker
For some reason, i have a go-into decision with with clip with um for Devin Hayden winning, but have a gut feeling Devin Hayden might like knock him out like in a fifth or sixth round. Everybody's like, oh, Pillow Hands got power now, you know what I'm saying, now that he's not draining himself.
00:44:48
Speaker
But I got Hayden winning by decision on this one. the by decision. Yeah, 31 wins for Devin Haney. 15 of those but have been by KO, so a little less than half there. are a couple A lot of people do say right through the you know pillow hands, whatever, whatever.
Devin Haney vs Jose Ramirez: Fight Predictions
00:45:05
Speaker
Ramirez, on the other hand, 29 wins, 18 of those by KO, so 62% there versus Haney's 48%. Josh, what are your thoughts on this fight? and forty eight percent josh what are your thoughts of this like I think Jose Ramirez is an exciting fighter, has been an exciting fighter. His best fights, best days, 140 pounds, and his best fights and best days, in my opinion, are likely behind him a bit.
00:45:30
Speaker
I think that this being even at the catch weight is likely gonna be more in favor of Devin Haney, who I think is gonna be bigger in there. And I think he has the ability to stop Jose Ramirez at some point in the fight, maybe mid later rounds. I just think that at this particular stage, given where Devin Haney is,
00:45:54
Speaker
in terms of the age and then where he is physically. just think he is likely going to be a bit much for Jose Ramirez, who has been an exciting and excellent fighter, who is a world champion, and he's been in with some of the best.
00:46:13
Speaker
we We know that for sure. And I just think that at this stage, yeah, he'll likely go down at some point. but Okay.
00:46:25
Speaker
All right. Yeah. um So there we go. we got a decision. Now we got possibly going down. Do you have a round for that? Do you think that might happen? it If I had to throw a round out there, I'd say probably around nine.
00:46:37
Speaker
If I had to pick a round, nine. Oh, yeah. You know i make a big round on this show, so be ah be prepared for the rest of it. Poppy, what you got? Jose Ramirez is a tough guy. yeah hope jose ramirez is a tough guy he's a He's experienced as well.
00:46:55
Speaker
um I think at this point, though, Devin is, I mean, he's he's had a lot of time to be around at 140 now. So he's probably, mean, he was probably already a full-on 140 fighter when he was squeezing down to the other weight class, you know i mean?
00:47:13
Speaker
So I think that he's going to be a lot stronger. um But you know he's going to he don't have to dig within to figure out, you know I'm saying, if he if he's still really, really wants to do it. Because at the end of the day, they're putting on a great show for the fans.
00:47:30
Speaker
But he's got to figure out if he's, you know, if he really still wants to to do this because, you know, ah ultimately he has a zero on his record. You know what i'm saying?
00:47:40
Speaker
And I feel like he's probably the most, one of the most disrespected fighters out there. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that goes along with it. But, you know, the some of the stuff is unnecessary. And um if I had to pick, I'd say Devin Haney by unanimous decision.
00:47:56
Speaker
i think he's just going to out jab him. i think he's going to move around him. i do believe Jose is going to, I believe he's going to put on the bulls bullhorns and just go, go forward and try to get them out of there, try to test Devin's chin, but he's not as fast as Ryan Garcia. is He doesn't have the same hand speed, but he can crack and,
00:48:15
Speaker
you know I'm not calling Devin Haney's chin suspect because I never heard people say Tyson Fury's chin was suspect, and he's been down 15 times. So um let's just see what happens.
00:48:28
Speaker
um I'm looking forward to It's going to great fight, but I'm taking Devin unanimous decision, and I wouldn't be surprised if he did end up on the canvas. If he gets back up and he gets back to fighting, that's what it is.
00:48:42
Speaker
That's what you want to see. right. I'm writing down the picture. cup d What was yours? Unanimous majority for Haney? Same. Yeah. Just decision. Yeah. but But yeah, majority is kind of same.
00:48:52
Speaker
Yeah. got walk What you got for us on this one? It's a good comeback fight for Devin Haney. oh Ramirez is really experienced. You know, he's been in with the best.
00:49:03
Speaker
ah You know, he's got a couple of losses, but it's a great fighters. oh i think Devin Haney is going to box a smart fight, you know, uh, You know, the normal hay hamy Haney performance I'm expecting. um Jose Ramirez is not really old, though. Like I said, I could see maybe Ramirez giving him some problems.
00:49:22
Speaker
But I just think Haney is quicker, you know, with with the, with you know, his punches are a lot quicker, I believe. And I believe Haney is going to win by decision. But it's going to be a good fight, man. Be a good test.
00:49:36
Speaker
And shit, he was able to beat ah Rancis Bartholomew. He lost unanimous decision to Barbosa. That was his last fight, right? good I mean, he's going to be good, man oh i think I think this will be a good good test for Haney, and hopefully we get that Ryan Garcia rematch. That would be good.
00:49:55
Speaker
And what kind of decision was that? Unanimous split? majority Just a UD by Devin Haney. All right. Yeah. No, I mean, everybody said everything that needs said. Haney, I think, is the – I mean, they're both great fighters.
00:50:09
Speaker
I don't think anyone will move come out, though. yeah I don't think so either. I agree with you. I think it'll be a unanimous decision here. I think Haney is the better fighter. I think while he is really tough, I agree with Papi.
00:50:26
Speaker
Haney will outbox him and be able to stay away from him and pull out the unanimous decision. All right, cool. Let's get some comments here before we go on that on on that one. ah Carlos, I would honestly, i would pick Haney, honestly, but I don't know how he's going to come back after the beating he suffered in his last fight and Ramirez has come forward with power and a good left foot. So I to ask, is this...
00:50:49
Speaker
um so i have to is this When they stay on Facebook with the guys certain pictures Yeah I bring do refried beans cause gas or no exactly I didn't want to be too out there with Whatever to fight would be considered pillow fight Wow ah jokes uh we think uh if tfmo lopez ain't in that pillow fight and stance because we last time he had a knockout no one ever says that why is that a i don't i know in order to stay what tfp ain't part of that man listen bro i to be honest how was devin haney how is that fight not the main event yeah no i mean agree it should i think it should be bro we had to go australia twice
00:51:42
Speaker
bro we had to go to australia twice But Haney don't sell like the way Ryan Garcia sells. You got to look at it. Haney sold out more. I sold Ryan. What? Devin be – Bro, he's – Devin is not on the same level as far as selling stadiums out like Tank is, but he's been getting money for a long – He put – Ryan Garcia got the casuals, bro. I'm telling you, man.
00:52:07
Speaker
They've only showed up for one fight, though. They didn't show up when he fought Durante in ah and and Houston. they they They were at tough time selling tickets. good morning story You know Ryan Garcia fans be doing TikTok dances. they be glazing.
00:52:20
Speaker
You know. You got a lot of casuals, man. I give them credit for that. like That's good to build that fan base, but it's just now this day and era, everyone thinks they've been watching forever and know everything. So it's like, Devin Haney, oh, he sucks. I'm like, come on.
00:52:35
Speaker
That was a titty. Well, that's that's why I put the hand side first because I personally think he deserves top billing in this card or if nothing else, at least Teofimo Lopez since he's the title fight and should be there.
00:52:50
Speaker
But on the card, in the actual billing, they have Ryan Garcia at the top of the poster. Because they what the casual with casuals. That's what his target is. okay look Carlos got a good point too. and Barbosa could have been it could have been the main event. You got 31 and 0 and then you got Tia Fimo.
00:53:08
Speaker
It's a title fight. yeah Yeah. Carlos, he liked the texture of Tia Fimo's bondage mask. oh those Oh, man.
00:53:20
Speaker
He said he liked the texture on it. Oh, man. remember He was a casual. It was a Ryan casual. Yeah, see? There you go.
00:53:31
Speaker
Yeah. Hot take. Thank you for tuning in. Devin only picked this fight because he's afraid to fight competition. Shout out, fellas. Cover D. Professor Wild at the gym. Speaking of Speaking of casuals. Laco slash and more of and let it go slash Spurs slash Yankees fan. like yeah Stop talking. Don't talk Spurs. Morning, Wombat. I'm picking Haney by decision.
00:53:57
Speaker
I just checked the odds. Haney is currently 1,200. Yes, that does seem a bit wide to me. I don't even know. Is that right? and That can't be right. No, yeah. is is is It looked like easy work.
00:54:09
Speaker
yeah you go make it Minus 1,200 sounds like easy work. That can't be right. That sounds about right to me. Yeah. April Ramirez is not that old. He's only 32, bro. 32. Yeah, I don't think it's a matter of being old. I just think it's a matter of wear and tear that damage he's taken and where he's at in this stage of his career. For me, that's the way I see it because he's like the aggressive come forward fighter as mentioned. But if you see his trajectory and kind of sits that.
00:54:41
Speaker
Josh Taylor contest, you know, it hasn't been the same as it was when leading up to that point. So I think that's more so where it comes into the fold and being him fighting up in weight a bit more.
00:54:53
Speaker
I just think that he was built for 140 for sure. But Haney, I just think physically is going to be too much for him. For me, you just given the stage of where he's at in his career and age.
00:55:06
Speaker
Get the way in. He looks ready. he's Very in shape, unlike some other fighters doing that weigh-in. like I think Tia may had a bad cut, too. he don't look He doesn't look that right. I think he's wearing that mask to kind of hide his face the way the weight cut was affected. and That's what some people were saying ah yesterday.
00:55:25
Speaker
Wow. Well, 100. and Okay. There you go. Well, there should be an easy victory, then. It shouldn't even have been a decision between any of us, I guess, at 12-day of 100. Why even have? He's got to shine, bro. he's got to put on a performance, man. You have no chance to win.
00:55:40
Speaker
That's what 1,265 is. You have no chance. So the guy stands no chance whatsoever? okay well like That's disrespectful. I'll be real. He said New York was on Ryan's side. Haney was getting booed. And Haney's going to have to have a good performance, bro, to gain some of these fans back, man. A lot of people to hate him over the lawsuit.
00:56:00
Speaker
There's a lot of people hating on on Devin. Devin's like one of the most hated boxers right now, bro. He used to be the dream, bro. i say yeah Nobody really talked shit about him a couple years ago. It would say, oh, he don't got knockout power.
Top Fighters Discussion: Haney, Lopez, and Garcia
00:56:12
Speaker
That's about it. But it's kind of transformed to where he's the – the person that gets all the hate now, you know? It's just like wrestling. It's just like wrestling. A lot of people who don't really know the sport are booing just to boo because Ryan Garcia calls people bitches and stuff like that at a press Like, oh, look at them bees. They're not dealing. They ain't even Devin talking shit. It's Bilby talking shit, bro. Him and Delahoyer are about to fight, man, at the weigh-ins. You know what I'm saying? Bilby's loud, bro. Bilby getting into everybody, bro.
00:56:40
Speaker
T.O.P. my dad talks to. Oscar got some jeggings on and a fisherman tank top on. Whatever wearing. if That motherfucker got a thong with a butt plug attached up to the back. With that butt plug, he can still fart in that, though. Bro, man, listen, I'm about tired of y'all talking about us, man.
00:57:00
Speaker
You know what saying? Like, we just, I ain't had enough of it. You know what I'm saying? Like, I can, just make sure you don't leave house without your identification card. Bill's going pull out like billy club on him and shit or something. It better be one that got the star up in the corner because the old one don't work no more.
00:57:17
Speaker
Bill's going to go ahead on him, huh? Keep playing with He's a dude up in Oakland. He's that dude up there. Keep playing with us. I heard in Oregon, let me tell you something, because y'all keep going on with this.
00:57:28
Speaker
In Oregon, they got a hotline for people who think that contractors are illegal. And they calling the people on y'all with the black jacket, yellow letters.
00:57:41
Speaker
All right? So y'all need to leave us alone. but That's what I'm saying. um doing that to them hey contractor roofing all right you know what knock it off man let's all get alone you like didnt see uh all jokes aside uh i i do want to do have a question here though uh carlos says all jokes aside when teal is on probably beats all of them this has this question i wanted to ask while y'all were talking so my question is who is the best fighter on this card because if we think about it right remember lopez uh obviously he defeated uh lomachenko back in 2020 uh to become the unified champion dropped to kambosis then haney beat kambosis in 2022
00:58:28
Speaker
to become the lightweight champion. um And then again in a rematch four months later. um And then Garcia has looked dominant against Haney, but then we know that he also had to get it pulled back because of the failed drug test.
00:58:40
Speaker
So when you're looking at these fighters, who is the best fighter on this card? Haney, Tio.
00:58:49
Speaker
To me, Haney, i would say i want to see Tio Barbosa kind of decide that, but I'll just say Tia just for S and giggles. um Then
00:58:59
Speaker
we just doing everybody or just a man three just a man three just a man three yes oh it'd be it'd be devon teal then ryan okay josh yeah that's a very interesting one there certainly an interesting one in terms of uh who's done the most certainly i think that is devon haney i think devon haney has done the most out of all of them on this card i'm picking well i'll get to i'm picking for barbos ah versus teo uh but that being said yeah i think it is a mixture of um yeah those i don't know i don't know it's tough right there that devin haney has done the most i would say i it's hard to say which one is the
00:59:50
Speaker
Overall best you don't because any given night things can change for sure, but I like Ryan Garcia I do like Tio and I like Barboza as well, so that makes it very interesting Yeah, but I'm gonna go with Yeah, probably just as far as the accomplished Devin Haney for sure Okay, yeah That's tough one, bro.
01:00:17
Speaker
um and It actually is tough because, you know, not to, ah aside from his personality traits, you know, T.O. is actually very good, he's a good boxer. You know, he is athletic, he's skilled.
01:00:29
Speaker
um But damn, T.O., don't you, why you ain't go get that cambosis work back? Like, don't you, you know what I mean? Like, wouldn't you want to go fight cambosis again to you know, clear the air?
01:00:43
Speaker
Okay. So just because because of that, you know, I got ah i gotta knock T.O. down. So um i think it's just I think it's between Devin and Barbosa.
01:00:58
Speaker
Right? So I think it's between Devin and Barbosa, honestly. um And if I had to pick between two, I would just need to see i need to see that fight. That's a great fight. It's just a great fight.
01:01:10
Speaker
That's what I need to see. ah But ultimately, i think that devin devon Devin has a lot left in the tank. And he's just going to be that he he's that the media has chosen a role of villain for him. So that's what we got.
01:01:26
Speaker
Devin is villain. Keep going, Papi. No, we're good. Devin's a villain, so.
01:01:34
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going to only give some credit to Barbosa, man. He's been doing his thing. He's thirty one and oh Technically, because I know you guys, I know technically Haney's still got his O right on paper, you know, but, you know, we've seen what what what you know what what transpired between him and Ryan, which, you know, I want to see the rematch, you know, with the clean fight and everything good like that.
01:01:54
Speaker
Yeah. Man, I think the card is fully stacked with talent, man. We got the experience of Ramirez. Barbosa, man, on a roll, just took out Caterol, He had to leave top rank, and, you know, they're making more fights for him over there at at Golden Boy.
01:02:11
Speaker
That's going to be my underdog for for for the fight. I think Teal, I like Teal a lot, but, you know, this is the same Teal that lost to Cambosos, you know what I'm saying? And and I think Barboso, i mean, I'm not saying, I know its everybody can have an off night,
01:02:24
Speaker
But ah with the with the wearing the mask and all all the clown antics, you know, he he's really confident. oh Let's see, man. Barbosa is a very smart, fundamental fighter.
01:02:35
Speaker
You know, he don't make a lot of mistakes. He's not flashy like Teo. lot of people going to say Teo is going to be on top of the list because he's flashy. But we'll see, man, with fundamentals and and and smart skills, get the job done tomorrow, you know. I thought, you know, everybody thought he going to lose against Caterall. You know, he got through Caterall.
01:02:52
Speaker
He fought a real smart fight, so if he can do that do the same thing against Tio, this possibility of him winning ah a split decision, something, man. I think it's going to problem with but like and like in sport Like in other sports, playing down here. Okay, but while we're here, we might as well not. I asked his last fight. yeah He let the journeyman bust him up, and that dude had like seven losses.
01:03:18
Speaker
That's my issue with T.O. He'll look good against Taylor and then average again. He doesn't show up for certain fighters.
01:03:25
Speaker
He drank that Kool-Aid over there at ESPN. it was just it had all It had all the sugar in it. Yeah. Yeah. Heisman fights?
01:03:39
Speaker
Heisman Knight fights? and And fight in front of 2000, his last fight in Miami. Yeah. ah think i Got booed at home in New York? Yeah, so T.O. just, you know, ah he claims Mexico. He claims Mexico.
01:03:56
Speaker
um Okay, well, I mean, hey, now that we already kicked it off, that might as well stick on that fight. I was going to go to that last since it was the title fight, but since Skywalker already gave his assessment, we might as well stay right. I didn't see hear Barbosa enough, man, but I was like, you know, he's on a roll.
01:04:11
Speaker
I think that's kind of momentum-wise. Momentum-wise, Barbosa... um Tio, you know, he's he's skilled. He's going to be flashy. Ryan Garcia has got a fucking nice left hook. He's quick.
01:04:24
Speaker
Devin Haney's got a nice jab. I give him all credit, you know what I'm saying? But, ah yeah, that's that's basically – I just wanted to give Barbosa his credit, man, too. No, no, that's great. and' That's all good. It's a great segue, so it doesn't really matter. We can start right there.
01:04:37
Speaker
So I'm going to get your pick in just a second. Let me introduce the fight real quick. Barboza, who he's talking about, is 32-0. Tiafimo Lopez, 21-1. Tiafimo is 27 in age. Barboza is a little older at 33.
01:04:52
Speaker
three Barboza does own a one-inch reach advantage and catch this, a three-and-a-half-inch or Sorry, a one-inch height one inch um advantage and a three-and-a-half-inch reach advantage on Teofimo Lopez.
01:05:09
Speaker
um So, as you mentioned, right, like you think he's a hype he' a great fighter. Again, 32-0, a little bit older at 33. What's your decision on that fight before we go around the horn, Scott?
01:05:21
Speaker
I got it as a tough tough contest, but I'm going to go Barbosa split decision. That's going to be my only underdog on the card that I'm picking now. Yeah. I believe Barbosa can do it, man. He went across the pond to Manchester.
01:05:34
Speaker
and this is you know this is ah He's from the West Coast. He's going to the East Coast. I think he can get it done. Plus, so you know he reps the channel, too. So here we go. want to know I want to give a big shout-out to Skywalker Boxing, man. Keep doing your thing. See? Yeah.
01:05:49
Speaker
yeah He invited our whole team to Manchester. Shout out to my brother David and Badio Embroidery. If you guys need embroidery done, he does all the Barbosa stuff. But they invited the whole team out to Manchester.
01:06:04
Speaker
And I couldn't make it, you know, of course. But ah some of my my teammates went out there to Manchester. So it was pretty cool. That's what's up, man. Damn Skywalker.
01:06:14
Speaker
We were some of the only people that picked Barbosa to win. Yeah. and yeah we I was riding with them. They went over there until the belly of the beast had stuff thrown them.
Expert Predictions and Fan Engagement
01:06:26
Speaker
I'm going to do the same thing.
01:06:28
Speaker
Yeah. Well, go ahead ah Yale give us your pick you like up shoot. I'm right with Barbosa man. um oh I mean Like I said Tio needs to get that can boses work back cam boses set him on his set him on his thing in the first round when he went over there remember that What do you think Barbosa going to do, man? i promise ah promise you, don't be surprised if T.O. have a couple seats in this fight.
01:06:59
Speaker
Do not be surprised. Barbosa, it means business. this is his Finally, he's getting opportunity that he's been asking for, and this is his time to shine, and he's a phenomenal fighter, fighting on the card with some jesters in and I'm telling you, this stuff to it it feels like they're They're vying for the the prince's crown to sit next to Jake Paul.
01:07:22
Speaker
That's what it feels like. You know what I'm saying? With all the magic and all this and that. You know what I mean? Yeah. So um um'm I'm pulling for Barbosa, man. I think he might sit him down a couple times. It's going to be wide.
01:07:36
Speaker
Something like maybe 10 minutes to do. Okay. Okay. Wide. why And spit him down a couple of times. Yeah, I was going to say in 32 fights, he only has 11 wins by KO. So 34% KO percentage is not a lot. So you expect him to get a decision in the fight if he is going to get a victory.
01:07:54
Speaker
On the other hand, Teofimo Lopez, 21 fights, 13 KOs. That's a 62% KO percentage. Josh, got to go. Yeah, so I had said I'll hold my pick earlier because I thought I was going to be in the minority.
01:08:10
Speaker
But I too, I am going to be going with Arnold Barboza in this contest. I followed him for a good long period. I actually picked him over Caterall as well. And one of the things that always stood out for me in following Barboza is his consistency. There might have been like one or or a couple of fights where you could say that the it was a little bit of a slower performance, but that being said, he's usually just always been super consistent for me. And that's one thing that always,
01:08:47
Speaker
made me lean towards him coming into these types of contests because I know what I'm going to get from him. Yeah, he doesn't have a ton of knockouts and all this stuff, but he has the boxing ability.
01:09:00
Speaker
And another thing is I just feel that Barboza at this this at this particular stage, this is his time, he's gotten that shine.
01:09:11
Speaker
And I know he's not ready to relinquish that because this is really his moment to come on with seeds of making consistent seeds with Teofimo Lopez. Of course, I would say that T.F.E. Mo Lopez is probably the better athlete.
01:09:26
Speaker
That being said, from a boxing perspective, I just think Barboza is better all around. And the thing about him is it's not just ah just one thing. I just think he's very good at at so many different things in there.
01:09:42
Speaker
While he doesn't have big pops, he doesn't have to do anything. you know And while he might not be the fastest, he has enough speed. He's good at range. you know He has a pretty solid and high IQ as well.
01:09:55
Speaker
So I think that will factor in. I think some of the posturing and things we've seen from Teofimo Lopez is... ah Probably more so him just trying to hype himself up more so than anything due to some of the lackluster performances we've seen from him. So I'm going with Barboza. Not that T.O.P. Mo can't pull it off, but I just feel like Barboza at this particular stage is who I would you know be willing to lean towards and put money on if I were put in that situation.
01:10:26
Speaker
And what is your pick? Is that a... Yeah, go I think it'll be a decision. So, yeah, likely a split decision, majority decision somewhere in there. but decision Which one?
01:10:37
Speaker
Split or majority? but Maybe um a majority decision, just to switch it up. Put you on the hook. All right. Cool. Cover D, what you got? Yeah, i've got I mean, everyone kind of said what I was...
01:10:50
Speaker
thinking and we we might have a clean sweep on this one because I put in the picks earlier. think this will be a split decision on Barbosa. He's already went to the Lions then went overseas and one which is very hard to do.
01:11:01
Speaker
oh He's on a roll right now. It's his time. ah thiel already ducked him when they were in top rank. he They said he was hiding him i think him'm from Barbosa. And then now ah they're theyre they're fighting now. and And he owes him for that slap from like two months ago when Tio slapped the taste out of his mouth.
01:11:17
Speaker
So Barbosa will get his get back, I think. And it's going to be a split decision because I don't think ah they're just going to give to him clean. It's going to be some little, you know, some fuddy-duddy business. But I got Barbosa winning this split decision.
01:11:30
Speaker
Wow, yeah. I mean, not only was that a clean sweep with Clubber D, but i mean you got even the sports professor over here going with the you know upset quote unquote uh although we have all everybody just told you why it's not uh an upset so i mean that that three and a half inch reach advantage is something uh you know the experience in fights is another thing that you have to look at here so yes i agree with the boys across the board barboza uh for the win in that one so y'all go ahead and make sure you put your bets in i do want to get back to a couple of these comments here um ah the glazers
01:12:05
Speaker
There were some very glazers and some disrespectful comments, and I didn't want to disrespect Josh while he was talking, but i had to hide them. ah So let's just go to a couple. Gold member, Jose Ramirez, scared of Devin Haney.
01:12:17
Speaker
He said in Spanish he was going to knock him out in the press conference, but when he spoke in but when he spoke in English, he showed respect to Haney. What a bitch move.
Boxing Humor and Banter
01:12:26
Speaker
Hot take says, Haney knows he's scared of comp and casuals figured it out. should say it all. Clubber D manages the Drake of boxing.
01:12:35
Speaker
Wow. Like a bummer. It's the only way you got the rematch. Dumb, dumb. What are you talking you you don what' yous talking about? And then no pepper on this one, which dumb, dumb. I don't even know what to say.
01:12:48
Speaker
You clearly have to be hating. If you're putting it, be creative.
01:12:53
Speaker
be creative Because he caught me off guard because I was like, oh, shit, a list. How do you put up? I was like, okay. And I didn't speak anything. Did y'all Ryan's attempt of a shoulder roll? Did y'all see that? like this I mean, you know, oh, boy. Oh, boy, it looked like he'd take bad stomach down.

01:16:01
Speaker
All this hatred. They're hyping up these racists. They're hyping up the racists. And all these lasers act like that ain't happened. just It's wild. It's just so wild. as She walked over. Her thighs was rubbing. She left bow-legged.

Garcia vs Romero: Fight Analysis
01:16:45
Speaker
these ah they would drink okay that ah
01:16:54
Speaker
alright cool Garcia versus Romero this is you know he is the main event on the poster 24 and 1 again I'm sure the glazers are about to come out 24 to 1 Garcia versus Romero 16 and 2 Garcia is 26 years old, Romero 39 years old. Garcia has a two inch height advantage and a two inch reach advantage.
01:17:22
Speaker
So going back around the horn, Skywalker, it's been a while since we heard from you. What do you have on this fight? I got Ryan Garcia knocking out Roley in the sixth round.
01:17:39
Speaker
oh don't know, man. I think ah Ryan has better form, throws his punches a little little sharper than Roley. Roley's kind of like a come forward aggressive. i think Ryan Garcia should be able to handle Roley.
01:17:56
Speaker
But who knows, man? You know we never know you know in ah and a fight. so But I got Ryan Garcia, KO6. All right. right Yayo.
01:18:06
Speaker
Man, if I could care a little less about any fight i ever, this would be it. You know what i mean? um Honestly, Roley,
01:18:17
Speaker
Believe it or not, man, Roley can crack. All right. it just Just not understand that Roley can crack. Everybody who's been in there with him has felt the power that Roley has.
01:18:28
Speaker
Roley, he has a good follow through. Like the fists go through. he run the hole he run the whole 90 degrees through there. You what mean? And, you know, so it's possible that Ryan could get caught and get cut.
01:18:43
Speaker
I don't know. I just i just don't, um everybody's saying knockout early. i don't think it's going to go down like that. I think it's going to be surprisingly a good fight and we might mess around and get to the scorecards and it'll be a split decision for Ryan Garcia.
01:19:02
Speaker
Garcia split decision. All right. Just to let everybody know, in 24 fights, Garcia has 20 KOs for an 83% KO percentage. Evenly matched here, though, Romero in 16 wins has 13 by KO, which is an 81%. So very close there. Josh, what are your thoughts on this fight?
01:19:23
Speaker
he's so Yeah, interesting fight for sure. Probably less. Well, I think there's some buzz there, but less buzz in terms of the expectation because I think that a lot of people are going to be siding with Ryan Garcia as far as him being the favorite coming into this contest. I'm one of those people, of course, as well.
01:19:44
Speaker
ah But I do think Roley is coming in as the opponent, and surely he does have power, and that could always be a changer, game changer, eraser at any point in any fight.
01:19:58
Speaker
I've been a little back and forth in terms of whether or not it would go or there would be an actual knockout in this contest because you have the dynamic of Ryan Garcia having been out for a good period, plus he's coming off of an injury, you know, and that's what stopped him from participating in that exhibition fight that he was going to do here several months back or whenever that was.
01:20:23
Speaker
But that being said, ah do think that Ryan Garcia should be able to pull it off here over the long run. Yeah, I lean more towards a decision in Ryan Garcia's favor as well. And I do think that this fight is, yeah, it's either going to be one of those where we get what you could consider a barn burner or it does have the potential of being one of those where it's a little bit ugly, a i little bit slower paced, just given we don't know what we can expect to see.
01:20:59
Speaker
Certainly out of Ryan and in Roley, it depends on where his mind state is coming into this, especially knowing he's coming in. as the opponent in this contest. So I would pick a decision in favor of Ryan, likely a unanimous decision.
01:21:20
Speaker
Unanimous decision. Thank you very much. Appreciate that. ah All right, Clubber D, what do you got on this? I honestly think that um Roley is, I think he's kind of shot.
01:21:34
Speaker
I mean, the last fight when he got with the pit bull fight, when he was saying happy Easter, as he got his butt whooped, that knockdown. I know he won move up to 147 while ago. Ryan, on the other hand, looks a little different, looks a little chubbier. His voice a little different. Maybe off the beds. Maybe who knows? Doesn't look as in shape.
01:21:49
Speaker
But you know, but yeah whatever going in there. ah With that being said, i honestly feel that Ryan's going to knock him out probably in like the third or fourth round because Roly is very lazy and keeps his hands down. And I think Ryan, that you can say what you want about Ryan.
01:22:05
Speaker
PD, no PDs. He still has his left hook. And I think Roly's going to right there for it. You know what I'm saying? I got Ryan by knockout. I'm going to say fourth round. Okay, cool. Fourth round knockout. ah Morning Wombat chimes in and says that – Here it is.
01:22:25
Speaker
Raleigh ah roley is super trash. I wasn't even convinced. He was top 25 lightweight. Brings power and not much else to the table. Basically zero amateur pedigree.
01:22:38
Speaker
Do you remember that Barroso fight? Remember Esmail Barroso, the old man? Oh, man. and yeah What was that? Pop-Pop wasn't playing. Pop-Pop was not playing. For real, for real. Yeah. I got a friend from Albuquerque. Shout out to Fidel Maldonado Jr., bro. He had fought Barroso. He told me about him, bro. you know hey man, hey that guy can give credit to Barroso, man. and Good guy.
01:23:03
Speaker
and crack His voice messed up because he'd been taking toilet plungers to the uvula. That's why his voice is messed up. Hey, they kind of got the the old Ryan out in this last weigh-in. It was kind of wild, bro. you know The last weigh-in, they really sold the show with that with the spectacle, man. Ryan Garcia started talking shit.
01:23:25
Speaker
the So the old old Ryan Garcia, the one we haven't seen in a while, the crazy one, Oh, it's there. he just became It came back for a little bit, like a couple minutes. but and look you see what the The trick is, you know, yeah yeah you do racist stuff. You you crash out a couple of times. You use the mental health card.
01:23:42
Speaker
And then you act normal for a little while. And then you do it again. you know what I'm saying? And then you're selling tickets with that stuff. Come on now. like it's It's the place. Joe, I'm definitely tuned in. i don't know about you guys, but this shit – It's just better than any kind of like show coming up on TV.
01:23:56
Speaker
You got to watch this fight. You know he nasty, right? You know that monkey that he was riding the car with? You know that monkey doodooed in the car, right? How are you riding the car with open feces on the seat? That monkey didn't have a pamper on.
01:24:13
Speaker
Yeah, that's nasty. What do you think? Anything crazy is going to happen in this fight? Something that's going to be crazy is like decision. The city. you got there is this happening in the city, bro.
01:24:28
Speaker
Y'all remember when the dude parachuted in on Mike Tyson? I'm not going to be surprised if you don't see some wild stuff happen outside the ring. Well, they only lend a select few who actually watch this. I think it's not for everybody to come up and just sit down and watch. think it's like ah very select few. I won't be shocked you see some wrestlers there also.
01:24:48
Speaker
what What they gonna do with the rats, bro? Turkey ain't got that. I mean, he got a lot of money, but you can't get rid of them.
01:24:56
Speaker
That ain't in D.C. Yeah, uh-huh. I got a picture of a dude who broke into an ATM machine in New York City, and he was... number two one in the trash can, right in front of everybody. It's like, you know what?
01:25:08
Speaker
Right down on the sidewalk. What are they going to do with them? Oh, geez. Racist comment number one. Let's see. That wasn't. Okay. Yep. e There you go. They showed themselves. ah yeah I wasn't going to post that. They showed themselves. showed themselves.
01:25:23
Speaker
ah But anyways, so yeah, just to clarify, the people that are actually sitting ringside and will be in the stands are going to be mostly reserved, but they are going to be showing it on the Times Square big screen so that anybody around the area can watch for free if they watch it on the screen.
01:25:41
Speaker
That's right. Just to let everybody Can you pay for actual seat can they pay for a seat here He'll have some open for purchase, but I'm i'm pretty sure most are going to be given away. like so Man, you couldn't pay me to sit in the front row.
Boxing Legends and Comparisons
01:25:58
Speaker
You got a whole bunch of cash that's command, out bro. like he could You could pay me to sit across the ring perpendicular to none of that. If you had some money, you know, you're in that crowd of people. can you Can you buy a seat? I had someone ask me that.
01:26:14
Speaker
and i'm not familiar I think it's special access to get in between the gates right there. I think you got to have some kind of special credential or reserved or something to get in between the gates.
01:26:25
Speaker
But outside of that, my understanding, I think it'll be like when Eddie Hearn had that fight in the middle of Tulsa, Oklahoma. I think it was Tulsa or something like it was during COVID or something like just going down there in the street and yet anyone can see it outside of the confines of that little area that they have cordoned off.
01:26:47
Speaker
Yeah. Man, knock it out, bro. Don't try to explain yourself. Monkeys ain't got no upper lips, bro. Try that. It's always funny when he catches it and says, oh, no, that's broad. Nah. Monkeys ain't got no upper lips, my guy.
01:27:02
Speaker
Don't try to explain yourself. You good. good you area for sure I don't want want it. We got our picks in on Garcia and Romero. Again, this is going to be a crazy fight. Now, i do have one question ah for you all.
01:27:19
Speaker
um A lot of people are were originally had talked about Ryan Garcia, Shakur Stevenson, Tank Davis. Devin Haney, possibly as the four kings of boxing. Obviously, I put that in quotations because no one will ever the four kings.
01:27:39
Speaker
of Obviously, Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Tommy Ernst. But there are a lot of people that say that this is the up-and-coming generation of young boxers, the faces of boxing.
01:27:50
Speaker
what say you all on that topic somebody go ahead since you were i seemed kind of indignant to that i mean tank is 30 so i don't know if he's a young face anymore uh i i don't
01:28:07
Speaker
that's that's like for a casual person maybe i don't know i because i wouldn't put ryan garcia up there you know what i'm saying Like, the why isn't the monster up there? Why isn't Bam Rodriguez up there?
01:28:18
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? I wouldn't i wouldn't have that that was me. tonight For my young young four. fighters only yes huh I think they were talking about American fighters. Bam Rodriguez from America. No, I'm talking about Inouye, though.
01:28:30
Speaker
Oh, well I mean, you take him out, but I wouldn't. I mean, don't agree with that, Liz. Anyone else? Yeah, actually, yeah, I'm um'm with Clubber D. I think that time changed.
01:28:46
Speaker
Well, a portion of that time has passed. I think those guys can still make some moves. Like I do still think i that Shakur Stevenson is the best at 135. But the issue at hand is some of these guys haven't fought each other. So I give props to Ryan and Haney for fighting with each other. And of course, we did get Tate versus birth Garcia as well. But At one point, there was a combination of them at 135 where it was expected to be, okay, yeah, it's gonna be it was going to be Tate, Haney, Ryan. Then you had Lomachinko there. We didn't get all of them fighting in that combination. Now we have Secure Stephenson there. We haven't been able to get him in there with any of them.
01:29:31
Speaker
And now Haney's gone to 140. And so with Ryan Garcia, essentially, Tank is still there at 135. He's gone up to 140 in some instances, but still just no combination of any of those big fights with those guys that we want to see him with, like a Shakur Stevenson or seeing Tank in there with Haney. I remember that would have been a good one to see at one point.
01:29:59
Speaker
You know, and I just don't know if those actually happened at this stage. So I think they are players there. But if I would say who to look out for is some of these other young guys coming up for sure, like Abdullah Mason.
01:30:12
Speaker
He's one of those guys that you can see just like, OK, I'm going to be watching him. And it got big expectations for him. and then there's some other ones spread about there, but certainly looking for him. But as i mentioned, I do think that Secure Stevenson is the best at 135, but it doesn't matter if we can ever get him in there with any of the top guys there at 135, you know?
01:30:33
Speaker
And that's usually the problem in boxing is we can't get these people to face each other, and that's why they'll never be the Four Kings because the Four Kings face each other. Now we can't forget our but ah about our boy from Norfolk, the 757. Oh, yeah, Keyshawn.
01:30:45
Speaker
Keyshawn. Yeah, he's up in there as well, no doubt. He is. but Any thoughts on that subject? um Yeah, I think that the that that ship sailed.
01:30:56
Speaker
um Unfortunately, they they missed out on really not capitalizing on the opportunity that was there for them. um They should have fought each other. they There was all the hype, the trash talk, the amateur.
01:31:08
Speaker
All that stuff just got wasted away. They got the opportunity really wasted away with all the the stuff that was happening outside of the ring. You know what I'm saying? So they never fought each other. They didn't fight each other.
01:31:21
Speaker
they didn' We didn't really get to find out who was the best of the best. It was only about, oh, I made more money than you. I made more money than you. I made more money than you. Oh, you're an email champion. or That belt's not real.
01:31:32
Speaker
None y'all fought each other for the belts, bro. you know You want to go and beat the champion and take the belt in and get in here and the new. And you guys started a whole bizarre-ass segment with that. So um You know, you can't you can't mention Kevin Hart name with Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy.
01:31:51
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? You can't you can't mention that name in in there. It just don't go. So there's no this is this is not the next generation.
01:32:02
Speaker
All right. Y'all missed the opportunity. Abdullah Mason said I'm fighting whoever I got to fight. Yep. That's what you wanna hear. This not all you, my brother, we're not scrapping. I'm fighting whoever I gotta fight.
01:32:14
Speaker
If you got a belt, you in the way, taking food off my plate. What's up with it? Yep. Scott Walker, you got anything on that?
01:32:23
Speaker
you're building You're muted, by the way.
01:32:27
Speaker
No, i agree with everyone. I think you know a lot of opportunities could ah could have could it happened, you know but they didn't. of you know we got, they've moved up or, you know, the, the negotiations have stopped because they've tried to negotiate and and weren't able to make the fights happen.
01:32:43
Speaker
But, uh, I think things are going good, man. We're getting all the fights at light heavy. we We're getting, uh, I'm sorry. Hold on one sec.
01:32:57
Speaker
You hear an echo or no? Is it just me? You did. heard too. Okay. I heard it. Um, yeah I think right now the 154, you know, super welterweight division, that's, that's a hot division. you know, a lot of great fights can happen in there too.
01:33:12
Speaker
oh So, you know, I think it just switches, man. You know, like we, we seen it, we seen the, the lightweight divas and now we're talking about the super welterweights,
Current Exciting Boxing Divisions
01:33:21
Speaker
you know i'm saying? and And we're talking about the light heavyweights, like we have better beef bibble, you know, thank God for that, you know? And then,
01:33:28
Speaker
Now we got, you know, Benavidez in the mix. You know what saying? He done said forget, you know, forgot Canelo left, moved up to light heavyweight. So we got a lot of good fights happening, man. We had the Benavidez-Morrell fight.
01:33:40
Speaker
So it's it's cooking, bro. It's just different different divisions now, man, you know? Mm-hmm. Always going start new and better, younger fighters. If you don't get it in when your time is in, you're going to get left in the dust.
01:33:52
Speaker
Now, ah we did have a lot little back and forth there, because I like to bring the comments of what up if I can when they come up. But we had a little bit of ah some different comments there that may have not been consumable for everybody. So let's go do i can get back and go through a couple of them.
01:34:07
Speaker
Carlos, um just for the combo, he asked us three times, so I think he really wants to know. When Ryan beats Haney again, what is the excuse? Again, he asked three times. Yeah, we'll be excused. It's just like Tank fans that say, you know, Shakur Stevenson, fight. You know what I'm saying? like Like if Ryan ryan beats them that Devin's ass, he whoops his ass. I mean, if he whoops his ass without nothing in his in a system, then yeah, whooped his ass. Good shit. I'll give him all the props. But until then, what, you know, should we get us?
01:34:37
Speaker
ah Clumber D too sensitive. I see why he's a haniac. Because any and because of Garcia, I'm not surprised.
01:34:50
Speaker
Face of boxing is going to be Keyshawn soon. That boy's special. Gold members are blessed and highly favored. a Besides my boy, Matt, Yankil Fairoa is taking over one twelve one eighteen soon. that's cold one.
01:35:05
Speaker
ah let's see yeah you he's ah that's that's called Kelvin Davis fighting Nahir Albright. I hope he doesn't smoke weed.
01:35:16
Speaker
Man, knock it out. People smoke. People have been smoking weed for a long time. I don't know what that means. Question for Skywalker. How do you get your info quicker than most sorts? What info? Are you talking about the network I'm with? Mo Boxing, no problem. ah We're connected, man. we We go to all the fights. We go to all the events. We're we're connected, man. So just part of the community.
01:35:39
Speaker
Hey, I got to be in the top of the show. Guy Walker is one of the biggest networkers I've seen around in general. ah He tries to talk to everybody and and and and everything to get any information he can or any information.
01:35:54
Speaker
So props to him. When it comes to boxing, man, I follow it all, man. Country Box to Pro Box to... Shout out to Country Box. saw they're going to Shannon Briggs fighting. You said...
01:36:07
Speaker
who said Yeah, I'm going to be there. Oh, hey, let's go, champ. Hey, Shannon Braves was supposed to replace ah Rampage Jackson and fight Rashad Evans, man. That was supposed to be the – The fight that saved the ICS card, but that that shit went under. oh yeah But interesting. I know they ain't trying to set up Briggs versus McCall, are they? I hope not. Somebody call the ambulance. They can knock the beer and butter out of them. don't need an ambulance for that one.
01:36:43
Speaker
All right. Well, moving on to Saturday. Canelo. Canelo. on Cinco de Mayo, where he again has fought nine times in the U.S. s and once in Mexico in the past 10 years, is going outside of the United States.
01:37:01
Speaker
The money has paid him enough to fly his ass to Saudi Arabia, baby. Bariad season against a a Cuban fighter who is a good fighter, but a lot of people do not, especially the casuals wouldn't know he is, but a lot of even boxing people may not know exactly who he is and where he comes from. William Skull, so we'll get into all of those, but there are some fights on the undercard that obviously everyone wanted to touch on, so let's go ahead and we'll get into those undercard fights first. Again, this is the Riyadh season Saturday card on DAZN.
Badou Jack and Cruiserweight Fight Predictions
01:37:40
Speaker
Both of these cards, by the way, Friday and Saturday are on DAZN. ah First up, Badou Jack, years old, so getting up there in age now.
01:37:57
Speaker
um mclayan thirty four years old while mikelayan owns a one inch height advantage and a two and a half inch reach advantage.
01:38:08
Speaker
So let's get thoughts from everyone on this one. I guess, Clever D, you haven't gone in a while. Let's start with you, sir. I used to be a big Badu Jack fan. I thought he'd be the next big thing. I think what would the money team and, you know, it's aging a little bit of layoff. Himalayan,
01:38:30
Speaker
Subland, Dublain. Michelin, he's during four. that That was terrible. I know it was terrible. I got Michelin. All right, Josh. Yeah, I'm going to, I have the same pick, though I have like Badoo Jack. I just don't know what to expect realistically.
01:38:52
Speaker
I don't know what expect from either of them in this contest in particular, but Badoo Jack, he has gotten up there age and Of course, he is in a natural cruiserweight, I would say. This guy is a little bit bigger.
01:39:06
Speaker
That being said, Battle Jack, I think, were at a different stage of their careers, would say. favor Badou Jack and we're Badou Jack a little bit more active. I don't expect it to be well like a absolute watch or anything. I just don't know what to expect for the fight in general. So I'm assuming it's going to be some type of decision and I would lean towards Mikelian or whatever his name is. I know the German guy, right? Is he German?
01:39:31
Speaker
german He's Armenian. Armenian. for Armenian. Yeah, maybe Armenian. yeah um his profile ah yeah maybe armenian German. German, there you go. Some of that, you know, them fighting in Germany. But, yeah, I'm going to go that route. But props to Badu Jack. I've always been a fan of him.
01:39:52
Speaker
i did I did really enjoy about ah Badu Jack's fights when he was younger. you it was real, real tough fighter. I enjoyed watching. Jeyo, what you got? um I got the Michael Jan guy. i got him by smart decision.
01:40:05
Speaker
Michael Jan? Hey. Hey. Hey, you know, this
01:40:19
Speaker
Yeah, I got no rare. Make a legend by knockout later rounds. They both fought Macaboo. That was both their last opponent. They both haven't fought since 2023.
01:40:31
Speaker
little bit of inactivity. They are fighting for a strap, the WBC strap for the cruiserweight division. But I'm going to go – I like Baudu, man. he's He's a good fighter. We've seen him ah fight through a big-ass cut through his forehead. oh man cra Oh, man. Him and Tim Zhu had one of the bloodiest fights I've ever seen.
01:40:51
Speaker
And shit, man. Yeah, I'm just going to – I'm going to go against Baudu just because this guy fought a little bit more recent. Not by much, maybe by like eight or nine months. So, yeah, it's been minute since Baudu's been back in there.
01:41:08
Speaker
Well, there you go. that's ah that That is your picks for that fight, and we'll move into the next fight here. We've got Bokole versus Ajagba.
Ajagba vs Bacole: Fight Strategy
01:41:20
Speaker
21-2 is has a 2-inch height advantage, and that cannot be correct. Is that correct? is twenty and one in both thirty one years of age ah jagba has a two in i did very and and that canno not be correct is that correct 11 insect and not be correct 11 11 11.
01:41:42
Speaker
brother and ley's like african wilder in a letter like yeah bro you know he's like african wilder he built like a ho bro long arms so he built like a graduate eleven inch reach advantage that ja well yeah but all right can you imagine kevin durant boxing bro pretty much got like a 97 inch reach got a good job too bro he's been working on that job that's been getting better he got longer arms than me bro i saw that i was like what
01:42:20
Speaker
i was away you got he got longer arms than me bro when i saw that i was like ah my good What do you got?
01:42:30
Speaker
That's going to be a good one. That's going to be good. Man, I'm still kind of undecided on this matchup, bro. Efes looked very good. His only loss comes to Frank Sanchez on the Wilder Fury card back in the day.
01:42:46
Speaker
And Efes has been looking hella good, bro. like Like he's got long arms, like you said. He's got the reach advantage. He's got a really good jab now. His jab has improved.
01:42:56
Speaker
oh He's under the tutelage of Jay Prince, same people as Shakur. you know He gets that good work. He's got good sparring down there in Houston. oh Damn, but Bacoli be fucking people up, bro. Because if you get hit by a Bacoli shot, like we've seen with Big Baby, it's game over. So this is hard because if Bacoli gets his hands on him, I got Bacoli, bro. Bacoli can...
01:43:24
Speaker
But if Efe can box him and just stick his fucking ass with them long giraffe arms, i think that he could win this fight, man. um It's a 50-50 fight for me, man. um Either Efe by decision or a jog by KO. Fuck.
01:43:40
Speaker
I don't know. I mean, my real problem with the reach is, A, yeah but coley by knockout or my real problem with the reach is a It's an 88-inch reach.
01:43:56
Speaker
Yeah, bro. It's 11 inches more than the other heavyweight. I've got two major issues with this man. you He's a condo. um geotte Go, go, gadget.
01:44:08
Speaker
ah Boxing glove. You know Curtis Harper, right? With Country Box, Curtis Harper? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He went viral because of F. Ed Jogba. He was supposed to fight him, but they weren't paying him in the mid-20s.
01:44:22
Speaker
walked out because of the money. That was yesterday. I was like, yep, not doing this today. You know what? I'm just walking out. I'm gone. creep i'm do walk out i'm Old boy left out of the ring, Bacoli's going through the front door to the microwave, and he's going to go to the refrigerator, go puts up take something from the refrigerator, put it in the microwave, and eat it right there.
01:44:45
Speaker
yeah That's what's going happen. I promise you. So Bacoli is really that. He's really a... he's really the monster bro he really is he took that other fight on 48 hours notice yeah y'all just don't pay that no mind the dude's the real he's legit all right so fa could make this an easy night for himself by staying on the outside and using the jab but ultimately all heavyweights get tired bro
01:45:16
Speaker
and Bacoli's walking him down, and it's going to be bad. It's going to feel like some David Benavidez type shit. So I'm taking Bacoli maybe. It's going to great fight, bro. I'm taking Bacoli probably KO7. I'm riding with Bacoli until him and the other, the German dude meet up.
01:45:38
Speaker
A body snatcher. A caballel. A body snatcher. Until he run the caballel. my countryman. Hey, Joseph Parker, you need to let him run it back on a full training camp.
01:45:53
Speaker
So he can give you your flowers and send you off, you know. All right, all right Josh, what you got on that fight? Hey, I think that 88 inch reach might be a mistake. If it's 88. No, i think that might be a mistake right there. That's in the monumental status right there. There's like seven footers who don't have 88 inch reach. Now six four with the 79, bro. John Jones. and I got ah I got a six foot six reach, bro. Like the same reach as a mascot of the UNM Lobos, man.
01:46:23
Speaker
But I think that 85 inch reach, i believe. That's fingertips included, too. and That's more like what but I believe a job has. i think, yeah, Jones is somewhere now. I was thinking 84 or whatnot. So you have some guys. 88, man, that's that's crazy right there. But Sony, listen, he was he had a.
01:46:43
Speaker
generally 84 inch reach 83 84 inch reach and he was ah about 6 1 6 2 ish you know I guess you could say 6 2 from back in the day so hey there are some anomalies out there without a doubt but uh anyway I this was a good fight right here was saying whoo this is a toss-up 50 50 myself as well just because of the caliber of fighters that are in there you know and but Coley he's been making noise he had been making noise coming up ah overseas doing his thing prior to the last couple of years, you know, and he's really come on now. People are truly recognized.
01:47:20
Speaker
Of course, if Efe Ajagba was making noise and they were viewing him as sort of this boogeyman and all that stuff everything he on the com ah when they come up, that's tempered down a bit. Man, i I was torn with this one.
01:47:33
Speaker
I'm going to lean Efe Ajagba and I think he can knock out ah Martin McCauley. I do think he can do it. I think Ajagla, what we've seen it from him as of late has been more of him taking the boxing more fundamental approach, but it's not that he doesn't have that knockout power, and I think that Bacoli, just given his style of fighting, I think he's going to force Jogba to actually get back to what we were expecting from him, that boogeyman style. I think going to be put in that situation.
01:48:09
Speaker
and I think hey he's got just as much velocity, power, and thump in his punch that if he catches Bacoli, he can send him down in the same way that Bacoli can send him down as well.
01:48:24
Speaker
I'm going to go with F.A. Jagua, have been kind of just 50-50 torn on this, but I think and F.A. Jagua can stop him, and I think this fight doesn't go the distance. I think there's a stoppage at some point in some capacity, and it might be early.
01:48:40
Speaker
It might be early, to to be honest with you, around four or five rounds, I'm thinking.
01:48:46
Speaker
All right, and just to clarify, F.A. box live was the one uh that had 88 but i went and checked fox rec and topology they both had 85 we're gonna go with 85. still pretty long you know 80. they better quit playing with us over here in america all we gotta do is go pluck some one football player one basketball player out of the binny just one Oh, my God, that's great.
01:49:17
Speaker
Summer D, what do you got on this fight? Oh, after hearing everybody's stuff, you know, I'm kind of similar, but I got ah that reach is going to be as disadvantaged. I got Bacoli in three.
01:49:28
Speaker
Oh, wow. I'm going to get inside. I'm going to my body there. Oh, my God. I'm messing around. All right. Well, Morty Quombat says, I was a big believer in Bacoli prior to the Parker fight. Haven't seen f F.A. since he got outboxed by Francis Bain. He says, if Bacoli comes correct this time, I think he can get a sausage.
01:49:46
Speaker
But wouldn't be surprised if F.A. can stay behind the gas outside and out. Hey, this has the potential of the fight of the ah entire weekend right here. It's a sleeper. yeah There you go.
01:50:02
Speaker
Another fight that could should be a a good fight is Bruno Sarasi, ah twenty six ah undefeated 26 wins with two draws versus Jaime Munguia at 44 wins and two losses. You'll remember Jaime Munguia, world famous for, oh, is that what it is, Munguia? Thank you, Munguia.
01:50:26
Speaker
Munguia. Munguia. good thank yeah well you You'll recognize that name, even if you're a casual, because he was the one that defeated Canelo Alvarez.
01:50:36
Speaker
He is 28 years old versus Sarasde. Both have the same height and and and a similar height and reach advantage. they see but roughly reached But let's go back around the horn.
01:50:55
Speaker
Clever D, what do you think about this fight? think I think I got a monkey on my picks is a have a seven or eight round knockout. I'm gonna go with that. think he's come focused this this ah this fight the last fight. I mean, he was Bruno whooped his ass and, ah you know, got him a body there.
01:51:12
Speaker
But I think come focus this time. So I got i got I'm gonna go McGill go eight round knockout. All right, gotcha. yeah so this is a very interesting one because sriracha he's not a knockout guy but he was able to get a knockout over ami mingia and this is what i need to look at this fight because i've seen bits and pieces highlights of it and how it went down because remember this was on a weekend there were a number of fights and i was actually at a
01:51:43
Speaker
yeah and i amateur tournament and i just remember seeing wow that Hammy Munguia was knocked out and i think that of course Hammy Munguia is a more battle tested ah the more touted fighter and from what I recall seeing he did have some moments and it looked as though he hurt Sriracha in the fight at points and I do think that the fact that he was stopped by a guy who isn't known to have much power was probably an anomaly in some sense. And he just caught Mangia with the right punch, right time, in the right situation.
01:52:29
Speaker
looked like Mangia was feeling that pace a bit too, from what I recall. So I'm going to say Munguia picks up the win this time around, and maybe he paces himself a little bit better.
01:52:43
Speaker
I'd say probably a decision. I think Sriracha is going to be confident. He knows that he has a victory over him and that he knocked him out. But I think Munguia might take a different approach towards how he fights him and use more of the skill and try to throw in some wick.
01:53:02
Speaker
as opposed to just really gunning for him and going for that knockout. So I'm going to lean Munguia via decision, probably a ah got go ah but split decision, just kind of see, we no split decision. now go but decision All right. Yayo, what you got?
01:53:21
Speaker
um I'm taking the same result as what happened last time. i I think he going to have old boy doing the Afro beats. Munguia likes to get into 50-50.
01:53:32
Speaker
He be getting into 50-50 exchanges, and sometimes he get caught.
Munguia vs Sarasi Rematch Predictions
01:53:37
Speaker
And ah just – that's what makes him exciting. You know what I'm saying? He's going forward, and he's going to do his thing.
01:53:46
Speaker
And if somebody just punches with him – You know, eyes get, you know, all in the back of the head. Legs get to shaking. You know what I'm saying?
01:53:59
Speaker
I've seen him a whole bunch of times, bro. And it's going to look like these. Yeah, but legs get to shaking.
01:54:09
Speaker
I'm taking the other guy somewhere, KO probably somewhere around seven, seven through nine. right, well, there you go. Well, if you're in town for couple of your birthday weekend, you might see a little Puerto Rican wiggle this weekend. independent Hey, bro, will you make sure you stretch out now. Do some hot yoga before you go out. We ate spring chickens. Oh, I know.
01:54:31
Speaker
Sky Walker, what you got on this one? sky walker what you got on this I got Munguia KO8. I was at his fight in Phoenix for Bazinian, and I noticed that he kind of he does a lot of his work later. you know a lot of that work starts setting in on the opponent.
01:54:49
Speaker
I think that he's going to get revenge, and we're going to see a later round knockout. All right. Well, there you go. Those are your picks. ah For that fight, let's get a comment here. Morning Wombat, the crazy thing about Sarasi snapping Munguia is the last one. Sarasi is more of a middleweight and isn't a big puncher.
01:55:06
Speaker
I do think Munguia is overrated, but I think he will beat Sarasi. Munguia needs to do better job of cutting off the ring and not chasing. I think he would lose to guys like Plank, Pacheco, and maybe Mbile.
01:55:20
Speaker
Absolutely. Absolutely. i don't know about Mbilly. Mbilly, he's here. What? if If he goes 50 exchanges with Mbilly, bro, he's going he is not hard to the same river that the ah pharaohs took to took to the afterlife.
01:55:43
Speaker
He'll be going there and do 50-50 exchanges with Mbilly. That's what Mbilly does. check oh yeah That's what Mbilla does, right? Yeah, Pacheco, he's got that reach. He's going to keep him at bay. But people too yeah like he doesn't make it hard to be in the ring. Yeah, and Billy Amish.
01:56:02
Speaker
And Billy Amish, he's got one style and one style only. Just come forward and fucking lay it on you. That's in Billy free. And, hey, he – He carries that power in the later rounds. And usually those guys, they say that are built like he's built, you know, with the muscles and all that can be tough, but he can carry that power, man.
01:56:23
Speaker
He's a beast for sure. Don't get tired like that. He on that better beef diet.
01:56:32
Speaker
You know what? One of my favorite Munguia fights was with Durvachenko, man. That was awesome. Yeah, I thought that was a fight that he had. You got some dog in him, man. You know, it can come out with Munguia. That's what saying. Don't sleep in Munguia. It kind of gets tougher as the rounds go on,
01:56:49
Speaker
Yeah, bro. I remember that fight distinctly. Durvachenko knocked him out and woke him back up on his feet. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah the other a real referee would have saw that and be like, oh, he's not with us. He's no longer with us.
01:57:03
Speaker
He's no longer with us. no longer with us. your opinion, who did better, Berlange or? or Munguia. Yeah. Munguia.
01:57:15
Speaker
But im mean can I mean, Canelo snuck him one time and then held him up, bro. Yeah. I don't know. nope None of these guys are beating Canelo. I don't even know why we're discussing it, to be honest. Like, who gonna beat him?
01:57:30
Speaker
Shout out to Canelo. The dude is an encyclopedia at this point. Yeah. No, man. He can go take a loss to BetterBeave if he wants, because BetterBeave will do damage. Yeah.
01:57:44
Speaker
hey aint no and Ain't no better seggue then for poppy too so segue to segue us to the biggest fight of Saturday night. Yes, in Saudi Arabia, the main event of the evening.
01:57:58
Speaker
Skywalker, since you are Mexican, we will start with you on this main event. Again, it is canelo alvarez fighting william skull and so again i'm not going to get intuitive if you all uh do not know who they are you're casual or anything like because these gentlemen yeah will inform you on him but he is a 43 and 0 undefeated yeah
01:58:25
Speaker
viva mexico carrones undefeated cuban boxers
01:58:31
Speaker
but Great. Fighting against Canelo. Canelo KO6, man. ah I think Skoll might be a better opponent than Berlanga, possibly. Looks like he's been training hard. I've been following him. you know he's He's training hard for this fight, as as all of them do.
01:58:54
Speaker
But I think it's going to be the same result. It's going Canelo. This fight, I think he's going to get a knockout, man. Canelo... Might get a later round knockout like round seven round eight.
01:59:06
Speaker
All right. Canelo does own a 63% knockout percentage 39 tails in 62 wins. Yale. Yeah, I mean. yale yeah i mean Canelo was talking that trash, you know what I'm saying? He said he was going to yeah one He said, oh, you're going to get some.
01:59:28
Speaker
You're going to some. Hey, you're all right. ah You know, Canelo KO maybe six. You remember that left hook he hit Berlanga with?
01:59:41
Speaker
It sat him down. i think like he rearranged Berlanga's circuitry when he hit him with that left hook. Like he rearranged it and no way went on a tour. I think he's going to rearrange this guy's circuitry and he's going on a tour as well.
Canelo Alvarez's Pursuit for Undisputed Title
01:59:55
Speaker
All right, Josh. Skull is keeping, he's from that Cuban school of boxing, so you know he's going to be fundamentally sound. We know he can box, all that good stuff.
02:00:06
Speaker
That being said, I think that Canelo is going to stop Skull. Let's face it, nothing's getting in the way of Turkey seeing this Canelo versus Terrence Crawford fight that he's been...
02:00:19
Speaker
clamoring for here for a good period. This is another opportunity for Canelo Alvarez to become undisputed at 168 pounds. And when he goes into that Crawford fight, all the belts are going to be on the line then.
02:00:34
Speaker
So props to Skoll, of course, this time this is an opportunity. He's going to get his biggest payday and all of that stuff, but he will get stopped. I'm thinking it'll be probably around eighth round.
02:00:48
Speaker
All right, TKO eight. And yeah, you are right about that. um Again, most people were wondering why Skull. Well, the logic behind it was that he held the IBS super middleweight.
02:00:58
Speaker
And that's what Canelo needed when he was stripped of it after the September 4th, he needed that to become undisputed again. And we know Canelo is all about, you know, records and things like that. Calverti, what do you think on this?
02:01:10
Speaker
You know, can I learn the history against ah certain ah Cuban fighters like Arisalani Lara said he has strong amateur background and gave Canelo fits. Some people think he won or could have been in draw.
02:01:22
Speaker
um but With that being said, with Williams Cole being from the, you know, background as Arisalani Lara, I want to say ah that doesn't matter because Canelo will probably knock him out the 10th.
02:01:35
Speaker
um So I'm going to attempt around knockout Canelo. Because we put on a show for the Saudis. My real question is, how many people, how many family members of friends did Turkey fly out for Canelo for this fight?
02:01:46
Speaker
That's the over-under for me. I'm saying about, you want it. As many as he wants. I mean, if you're putting a fight in Times Square and a fight in Saudi Arabia, two fights in two days in two continents, buy yourself. I mean, money and a thing right there. Oh, man.
02:02:04
Speaker
money and a thing like that And so, but you're right though, a lot of people have compared Skull to his fellow Cuban counterpart, North defensive, Lara, who gave Canelo trouble, as you mentioned in 2014.
02:02:17
Speaker
So people are saying, can Skull be that kind of disruptor to pull that huge upset? I agree with the boys, no way. the cut ball happened and yeah I agree with ah with Josh, Canelo was not, yeah and probably early, probably in the, I would say probably,
02:02:37
Speaker
round or maybe even earlier all right cool uh morning wombat i appreciate y'all this was a great stream hope y'all can recap the fights afterwards like you did for the better be off uh bf start in february uh yeah we could do that if everybody is available um uh we can definitely uh either figure that out for next week uh wednesday or thursday all right uh cool actually be in puerto rico on thursday i might be able to do it though cause i'll be in a hotel Hey, hey, you, there's a couple of channels I watch for the Caribbean. You might want to check their news, dude, man. They said something is forming up out there already.
02:03:15
Speaker
yeah Yeah, it is the raining season, so that is the unfortunate part of that. But thank you for, for yeah, putting that, and my my mom had already. looked at the weather, but I need to look at it myself to see. i and I'm watching them come off of the shore in Africa. i want I need to know because I live in Virginia, and so if something's coming, I'm out.
02:03:36
Speaker
yeah we were We were blessed. I went to Costa Rica this past weekend. It was supposed to thunderstorm every single night, and we didn't get one lick of rain. We were so blessed. Thank God. um So anyways, get some comments here. Rodolfo says Canelo has been using Cuban light heavyweight ah Breon Leon, who is also fighting this card, as a sparring partner. And so, oh, Gray Fox, have a great night.
02:04:00
Speaker
Gray Fox. Leon's a bad boy. All stops. let's Yeah, let's talk about that thing because he's fighting. ah Leon's going to be fighting Vargas. and Go ahead, folks.
02:04:11
Speaker
ah That's going to tough one, man. um um' I'm riding with Leon on that fight. I'm taking him by stoppage. That's what he does. He gets it down he he gets it done. I this is what you want to see.
02:04:27
Speaker
Six wins, six knockouts.
02:04:32
Speaker
All right. Anybody else on that fight? Leon and Vargas? Skywalker, you want to go? oh No. You got anything? Yeah. Yeah. It's a tough one, but I'm going to go with Leon as well, probably.
02:04:47
Speaker
I'll ride with him. I don't even write anything. I'm not writing these down. Yeah. Same here. I'm with Leon all the way. All right. Josh, you got it? Anybody? um I'm going to have to go with Leon. I was looking at Leon. I was trying to remember where who I saw him up against or whatnot.
02:05:07
Speaker
because drawing a blank. I'm going to go with Leon. And I saw ri Richard Reacor is going to be fighting someone on here as well, but it's team. At heavyweight. Oh, at heavyweight. Interesting.
02:05:19
Speaker
Making a move. And this is on the um the Sunday, May 4th card that we have is is what I got on my side. Is that correct, Joe? right
02:05:33
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, sure. I just wanted make sure. Because we were talking about the Canelo card and someone mentioned that he was a sparring partner and on the same card. And I was like, wait just second, I thought he was on the T-Mobile. It's the same card for the third Okay, okay, cool. I'm under on um pre before the prelims or whatever.
02:05:53
Speaker
Okay, well, let's to move on to the Sunday, May 4th card. Then, obviously, the headliner here, the monster, Nayawa Inouye versus Cardenas. um But first, before we get there, I know you all especially wanted to talk about the Espinosa-Vasquez fight, but also on that undercard is the Maidana versus Polanco.
02:06:15
Speaker
Uh fight so let's start with that polanco my donna fight. Um, does anybody have any thoughts on this one?
02:06:23
Speaker
Well, I know polanco. I like them. I can't remember if I've seen my donna so I will pass on this but I do like polanco what I've seen from him. Yeah, I'm not too familiar myself. I've got I've got I picked polanco by um majority decision.
02:06:39
Speaker
Did I pick this fight? Um, this guy's pretty tough man. Um Well, he lost to Mario Barrios Mario Barrios.
02:06:51
Speaker
oh I wouldn't say, like, he's been in there with the best. You know what I'm saying? oh He's definitely got a lot of experience. I got Rohan Polanco um by knockout, man. He's 15-0, 10 knockouts. He just came off a second-round knockout.
02:07:11
Speaker
oh Shit, I'm going to go KO6 in the middle, man. I got him down for a decision for myself. All right. There you go. Hey, Coach Blanco is highly touted. You know, he's been having a lot of backing, a lot of fanfare behind him. So it won't be surprising, you know, him pulling this off because he's kind of expected to be here at this level, you know?
02:07:35
Speaker
Right. Yeah, three straight knockouts in a row. Two technicals and one KO. and Pretty good. All right, and then we'll move on to the other, the co-main event there, which I know you all were especially high on, was the Espinoza kid fighting Vasquez.
02:07:52
Speaker
So, Skywalker, you wanted to talk about this one, the most good in Stairsoft. Rafael Espinoza, Freak of Nature. We talking about Effet Jogba with the long reach, but you're talking about a featherweight with huge-ass reach, 6'1".
02:08:06
Speaker
i think yeah yeah he's going to defend himself for minute, man. I believe Angelo Leo could give him a run for his money, you know, but I think right now, I think he's going to be successful defending his strap, man. And say I think it's going to be a pretty easy fight for him. I got Espinoza by stoppage later rounds.
02:08:30
Speaker
Yeah, you mentioned, 74 in three. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. He was like so six foot one, six foot two. Weighs 120.
02:08:42
Speaker
Oh, man, that's crazy, bro. He's like Olive Oil's brother. You know what I mean? Bro, it's going to be a beatdown. Like, it's going to get ugly right away.
02:08:55
Speaker
You're going – it's just – he just – there's not too many people that can compete with him being that size, that aggressive. Like, he doesn't it's he doesn't even – he can use outside if he wants to, but he gets inside and just beats you up.
02:09:09
Speaker
He punches while you're punching. Like, he got you you punching, and he punching with you, and you swing it all the way through, and then you face down. ah so what up ah say each going up against a 74 inch reach like right nine inch reach advantage uh and he's undefeated right he's 26 and 0 plus as as video just mentioned he has the 85 knockout percent 26 wins 22 kos out of there so i mean
02:09:41
Speaker
jock putting them down getting them up out of there Well, I think a little bit highly of Edward Vasquez probably than most. I think he's a very, very solid fighter.
02:09:54
Speaker
You could say one of his only knocks is that fact that he doesn't really have power, so he's in all likelihood is going to be reliant on going the distance. I think that Vasquez...
02:10:07
Speaker
The thing that sort of put him over the top for me was when he fought Raymond Ford, and I think that he beat Raymond Ford and was robbed under cars in terms of robberies.
02:10:19
Speaker
remember that fight. call those out. I think that was legitimately a robbery right there, and we know what. Raymond Ford has gone on to do. So I like Edward Vasquez. Now I do favor Rafael Espinoza in this contest. I do think that size went just that grit.
02:10:37
Speaker
You know, he was one of those fighters that, you know, put in a lot of work in Mexico. When he came up, it was like, okay, how's he going to be? dethroned Robisi Ramirez and just to show that it wasn't a fluke, he made him quit in his last contest. Know my style, like I'm not having anymore.
02:10:54
Speaker
So I think Rafael Espinoza is the real deal. I think Vasquez, he is skilled enough that he'll be able to go the distance, but I do think that reach will be a factor. I'm going to pick ah Rafael Espinoza via unanimous decision, but I do like Eddie Vasquez or Edward Vasquez, and I think that he's a pretty solid overall fighter.
02:11:18
Speaker
He's never been stopped, too. I'm looking at his box. KO6. I remember that fight with Raymond Ford, bro. I remember that fight. That's a damn. okay Well, you're right. He's not going to KO. I mean, he only has a 24% knockout. He has balls. We'll see.
02:11:37
Speaker
I got Espinosa in eight. DraftKings. a There you go. Yes, sir. Get your draft kings in, everybody. Make sure you get those picks in.
02:11:49

We all got YouTube channels. so Yeah, me and Clover was over there stomaching that poor referee and oh it was happening over there. It's hard to stomach. Jesus. They do something about that over there.
02:13:39
Speaker
I don't understand what great, britain like the ref over there overseas in Europe, they want to inject themselves in the fight so much. I don't understand this. I think one of them saw one them YouTube, one them Facebook videos with the girls be double dutching.
02:13:54
Speaker
Because every time you look, it's like, dude, it's trying to ready jump in and do something. Yeah, just do't don't say nothing about headbutts or head in the back of the nose. He picks one fighter to pick on, and that's it. that's That's what I've noticed.
02:14:04
Speaker
Yep. Yo, hey, bro, y'all can ask. My wife was like, babe, why is the referee always walking the other guy back? Like he's giving them all this resistance, and he moves them to the middle of ring every time.
02:14:19
Speaker
I was like, because he cheated. That's why. That's what they do. They miss the fighter and hit the referee on accident. Just a jar.
02:14:31
Speaker
but I can't stand my bad, josh but you know, sometimes yeah some people need a hard drive rebooted. You know, Josh don't claim that they're across the pond. So they look at number one underdog for people to put some money on. I know people are betting and listening to us. they They want to put some bets in before tomorrow.
02:14:51
Speaker
ah my my ah My suggestion, throw throw a few bucks on Barbosa. That's a good one. I think that's a good alive underdog right there, guys. oh You know, shit. I would definitely, if you guys are are into betting,
02:15:06
Speaker
Throw a few bucks on these underdogs, man, that are fighting in New York. mans That's probably the best piece of advice can give to you. Hedge your bets if you need it. Hedge your bets. Yeah, they're getting ready to rob. Vegas is about to rob the bank.
02:15:20
Speaker
Watch like Roley versus Draw. but Oh, man. Draw. That'd be a ah so Disqualification. DQ.
02:15:34
Speaker
they They have like a mini Andrew Gulotta versus Riddick Bowe situation. Yeah. No contest. No contest. No contest. DQ. Draw. I promise. I'm bracing for some' crazy something crazy on. Something crazy is going to happen, bro. so Tomorrow, some fucking watch. Mark my words, guys. and Some wild shit's going happen. I don't know if it's going to be a dude parachuting into that. I know it is. Trump going to be sitting next to Turkey with a dashiki on.
02:16:01
Speaker
oh that Now, that'd be funny. Yo, you know he loves sporting events, fam. I done been to a few events where he showed up in the air. They booed the shit out that motherfucker, bro.
02:16:13
Speaker
Everybody would be booing him. He'd be eating it up. Over and under, we'll see some rust wrestlers and probably UFC fighters there. We'll see Bill Haney get in a fight. You never know, man.
02:16:26
Speaker
Oh, yeah. i go All right, cool. Well, let's move it into this last matchup of the week. And, yes, the monster, Niowa Inouye, makes his Las Vegas return after four long years.
02:16:44
Speaker
And we are going to go to the tail of the type 29 and 0 for the monster 26 and 1 for Cardenas. In a way is 32 years old. Cardenas is 29 years old.
02:16:57
Speaker
Cardenas does have a one inch height advantage here. um So, but we're going to be the combat. Gee, we're going to start with you on this huge, huge fight. Who do you have in this?
02:17:08
Speaker
Who do you have? Monster and 3. Keep it easy. ah Monster in three. hey hate any Short work. He's put on show. Short work. answer longer than my intro. Josh, would you like to spend a little more time?
02:17:22
Speaker
ah Well, I will say that Cardenas, he's not a bad filer not a bad fighter. He's just not ready for Inouye at this stage. And honestly, he may never be ready for him, to be honest with you. But that being said, I do think Inouye is going to stop him.
02:17:39
Speaker
Probably about five rounds there. But shout out to Cardenas, young fighter, going to take that trip over there like many have and they usually come back pretty humble.
02:17:51
Speaker
All right. Yayo, why are you shaking your head? Wrong place, right guy, wrong time. i be
02:18:06
Speaker
Anyway, he's making, it's not his United States debut, but it's like, Sushi man, it's like they just they serving him up, bro It's gonna have some ginger on the side, you know Sam some soy sauce That's it he i mean very stereotypical, but somebody i said the Otani of ah But it really is he does Monster knocks people out. That's what he does And if he starts doing it here, he's going to gain an even larger following, and everybody's still going to be waking up on Tuesdays at 4 a.m.
02:18:46
Speaker
to catch the main event. Like me. Because they don't need us, bro. Japan's making moves. So, anyway, by stoppage, I'm guessing probably 5, 5 to 7. K.O. or K.O.?
02:19:01
Speaker
K.O. Okay. kale Was yours TKO or KO, Josh? Oh, ah I'm going to go TKO. And I forgot this was happening here. Yeah, this is his debut here.
02:19:17
Speaker
Or not his debut, but him fighting here. fights so much in Japan. I knew what you meant. Different continent, but in the same work, you know.
02:19:30
Speaker
morning don think didn Whatever. goes down Skywalker, what you got for it? I like the fact that it's here stateside at T-Mobile Arena in Vegas.
02:19:41
Speaker
A lot of people have been talking shit to Inouye these past few years. Be like, you know, why don't you fight here? why so hey, we got him here in America. We got got a good fight. Cardenia's never been stopped.
02:19:53
Speaker
<unk>s He's a sturdy fighter. Respect to Cardenia. It's out of Texas. You know i'm saying? But the monster is the monster. but i'm going to give cardenius a little more credit than everybody on the panel i think that ah monster it's going to take the monster a little bit longer to get them out of there i still think that the monster is going to get them out of there but i think that it's going to go to round 10. okay say nine or ten you know but ten Yeah. Hey, man, bro, if they go past seven, um the likelihood of a towel getting thrown in increases exponentially.
02:20:25
Speaker
Yeah, it could be a towel. Yeah, you're right. Or I'm thinking a stoppage, something that. But he's yeah, surround he's getting hit too much. Monster gets going. And shout out to Pro Se, man.

Boxing vs UFC Popularity
02:28:11
Speaker
boxing is on the rise now. And UFC is kind of stagnant right here. Because we've I've said this before with with Omar on the show about how UFC doesn't have any newer fighters to promote like the older fighters. These guys are getting old. You got Max Holloway, Dustin Poirier having their final fight coming up pretty soon for BMF belt.
02:28:30
Speaker
But now we're seeing boxing selling out stadiums overseas. And even in America, boxing is getting lot creeping back up to where it should be. You know, I always love boxing first, but um ah I might do a deep dive. And if if you'll see, like, what's the future of mixed martial arts since boxing is back?
02:28:48
Speaker
So you guys don't have to think about. Hmm. Yeah, there you go. We don't post Alex Pereira is getting old, too. I mean, he just did take that, but we still want to see up there. know Yeah, he's going to be beating people up.
