Speaker
Yes, sir. All right, cool. Well, gentlemen, hey, before we get into the main event, y'all stick around. We'll go into Canelo Alvarez and Terrence Crawford here. That'll be the last thing we talk about in the show. We got a bunch of other bouts we want to talk about first.
00:05:03
Speaker
And we have some news that we want to talk about. So we're going to go around the horn and get everybody's piece of news for the day, their boxing news. Clubber D, let's start with you. What do you got news of the day here?
00:05:15
Speaker
I'll go over one of the fights that got announced. We got a big heavyweight title shot coming up or implications with Joseph Parker going against Fabio Wardley. ah That's going to be October 24th.
00:05:29
Speaker
I think it's that Saturday. And basically um the winner, as my dog shakes his head, The winner will be going against Usyk because he'll be the number one contender. So I cannot wait. I think Parker should have fought last.
00:05:43
Speaker
We all saw what happened to Adonis Du Bois. But, yeah, that's a big fight they just announced. All right. Word. And there was also a mention of Pitbull Roach. Was that something we wanted to talk about as well?
00:05:55
Speaker
going to let someone else say that. But yeah, yeah, they just announced. yeah I didn't do it yet. who could I don't know. Pitbull versus Roche in December at 140. So we got Roche who just fought at 135 his last fight against Tank Davis. And we all know what happened about this rematch.
00:06:10
Speaker
And now we got him moving up to 140 now going against Pitbull. So I wonder if he vacated a WBA at 130. That's what I wonder. Interesting. yeah I like that fight, though. That's a very interesting fight. Josh, what you got on the news of the day?
00:06:23
Speaker
Yeah, they would be great. Yeah, those are all each interesting. I want to note that, of course, the dark menace, Tiara Brown, undefeated WBC World Featherweight Champion, she's going to be putting her title on the line for her first defense in Houston on OTX 16.
00:06:42
Speaker
September 20th, I'll be out there live in the building. She's taking on Emma Gungora, a French fighter who decent, solid, but I'm telling you, just from seeing Tiara in training camp, she's about to put that hurting on her. I'm telling you, tuned.

00:07:17
Speaker
Yayo, what you got on the news for today? Look, man, I heard Vegas has dried up more than a raisin turned to a prune or something like that. don't know. Maybe it's the other way around. ah ah and but So I'm trying to figure out what Vegas is trying to do. Are they trying to get a money grab real quick with this Canelo Crawford thing? know I'm saying? Is this the last hoorah?
00:07:42
Speaker
know what I'm saying? All my picks are based off a conspiracy theory, baby. you You best to believe it. big um I mean, hey, we were there a couple weeks ago, and while it was a fun and amazing trip, obviously we had a bunch of our friends together, so that's what made it really fun.
00:08:00
Speaker
It was a little more dead than the last time i was there a couple years ago, so I can understand some of the, and, you know, also heard from people that live there about the decreasing, um you know, tourism and things like that, so but it was still a lot of fun, no doubt, when we went out there.
00:08:18
Speaker
Yeah, they light on the game, apparently. Yeah, it's real life. Freemont Street is legit, but for it, it doesn't have people. You know what Omar was doing. Omar was looking for the tiny twins. He said, I'm trying to do a it. Hey, let's go. Let's hit up more comments here before we get into our bouts.

00:08:55
Speaker
Yes, sir. All right, cool. Well, let's go ahead and start with some
Fight Card Structure and Analysis
00:08:59
Speaker
fights here. Now, what I was thinking, gentlemen, since obviously Bud and Crawford has to be last, I'm thinking we just go, i mean, Bud and Crawford, Bud and Canelo.
00:09:07
Speaker
That's what, no, that's why, that's why. That's hilarious. Excuse me. Mess you up. Me up. Whoever wrote it on Instagram, I copied that from Instagram. It says Bud versus Crawford.
00:09:20
Speaker
It's your fault. It's a mirror match. match. Anyways, since we're doing that last, I'm thinking we'll go from backwards to forwards and we'll go ahead and start with the with the Crocker Donovan fight and then we can go into Inouye and then we can go into the big card. Is that what y'all want to do?
00:09:39
Speaker
Let's do it. all All right. Sounds good. Well, let's move into the first fight. It's going to be actually this Saturday, September 13th, from Belfast United Kingdom, Windsor Park.
00:09:51
Speaker
It's going to feature 21-0 Lewis Crocker versus 14-1 Patty Donovan. Patty Donovan is 26, so two years younger than the 28-year-old Crocker, he also holds a 79% KO percentage, getting KOs in 11 of his 14 wins.
00:10:15
Speaker
Although, on the other hand, Crocker does have the experience advantage with 38%. thirty 39 extra pro rounds.
00:10:26
Speaker
So there you go. That's your intro there. Let's go ahead and start off with you, Clubber D. do you think about this fight? We got a rematch from, I believe, with Illegal Blow that stopped us in the eighth of the last fight.
00:10:37
Speaker
um I vaguely remember watching the first one, but as we were discussing before the show started out there, I think Donovan was winning, right? He was the one kind of kind of up on this one, or was it the other way around?
00:10:50
Speaker
I think it was one of them. Donovan was winning. but okay Okay, so I'm going to equate that to this being a similar to Roy Jones when he fought, ah ah was it Montel Griffin? Is that his name?
00:11:01
Speaker
Oh, yeah. He took the knee and then hit him, and then after that, so I i got this fight. I don't i don't see him go past three rounds. might have to change my picks, but yeah I got Donovan on this one. Okay. Donovan, ah is just KO or TKO? Either way, he's go not go he's going to win got three rounds.
00:11:19
Speaker
ah you go Josh, what do you think about this fight? Hey, I'm looking forward to this. You know, here in
Belfast Beltway Boxing Classic Insights
00:11:24
Speaker
D.C., we have this long-running kind of tournament, or I guess you could say competition, is called the Belfast Beltway Boxing Classic, where some Irish fighters come over, and they'll go against some of the D.C. amateurs, and then they alternate in some of the D.C. amateurs, D.C. area amateurs. They'll go over to take on the Irish fighters,
00:11:44
Speaker
amateurs and it's a nice program that they offered there and I was there earlier this year because there was one and it just so happened to be some people who were connected to in some capacity I guess you can say Andy Lee, Patty Donovan so Team Ireland right there and i was in agreement with them when we were having this discussion that of course I thought Donovan was about to stop Crocker in that last contest but It's just the way the fight flowed, he ended up getting disqualified for a late hit. Now, I was of the opinion that the referee took too many points from
00:12:24
Speaker
Donovan early on because he was claiming headbutts, but can't bus me he wasn't warning Crocker who had his guard when his head stuck out as much as he was warning Donovan. So Donovan lost two points there early on, so the referee kind of had no choice. The punch was late. It was after the bell, but...
00:12:43
Speaker
The referee had already dug a hole, so there was no way Donovan was going to get out of that. So I'm with you there, Clubber D. I think that the better fighter is Donovan. He's less shot-worn as well because Crocker, he has been in some wars, but that's just how he's built stylistically.
00:12:59
Speaker
But Donovan, I think, would be too much for him. I'm picking stoppage as well. I'll take it round five, TKO. It's over, Donovan. Crown demands. Round five, TKO. I neglected to mention, my apologies there, ah everybody watching the stream, this is for the vacant IBF welterweight title.
00:13:22
Speaker
Yayo, so what you got on this one? Man, I enjoyed the hell out of the last fight. Sort of. Listen, man, I get high blood pressure watching them, the zone cards, man. them The referees, the straight trans. Oh, my God. I mean, it's it's like, it's i don't know, it's openly, it's just really easy to see that it's, you know, it's real funny style. So to be honest with you, i had Donovan stopping him last time. So um I got Donovan KO9. You know what I'm saying? Let's cash him in.
00:13:56
Speaker
ah Yeah, I'm going to make it a consensus four for four. ah While both of these fighters obviously are good and Crocker does have a a little more experience, I don't have to go over what all the gentlemen just mentioned in the favor of Donovan. So I am also choosing Donovan KO6 to win the vacant IBF welterweight title. I will add, since this is the battle of ah shepherd's pie, with this being for the IBF, okay They have the 10 pound, you know, you can't be over 10 pounds the next day rule. So that might play in a fight. Oh, okay. can't be fighter as well. You know, you can't be hydrated over 10 pounds, which is, don't know why the IBF does that. No other belt does that. Like, why?
00:14:35
Speaker
Unless you're unifying, that's that's always in play. That's what hurt Bruce Ennis. And also it's worth noting that that last contest was apparently a title el or interim title I believe either interim title or title eliminator, believe it's for the same one that is now up. I don't know who previously had it. recall.
00:14:58
Speaker
It was an interim title, I believe, was on the line for that last one. Interesting. All right. Work. Well, go ahead and go ahead and keep those. I'll make sure I put those on the stream later.
00:15:10
Speaker
but Make sure you put your bets in with all these gentlemen's picks here today, as obviously they know what they're talking about, and you should, too. Make sure you subscribe and tap in at everyone's channels here today, Ball & Buzz 86 Boxing. Hopefully Skywalker will join us soon. Skywalker Boxing Media, Mo Boxing, no problem. And as always, Papi Chumyeo on Instagram. All right. Let's keep it moving.
00:15:32
Speaker
Let's get into the monster. What was that? No, ahead, go ahead, ahead. Let's get into the monster. Niowa, in a way, undefeated 30. And, oh, he is going um he's going up against, I don't want to butcher this name, but it's Akmalayev. It's called Akmalayev. We're John Akmalayev.
00:15:53
Speaker
I call him MJ. Oh, MJ. Hey, hey, let it roll off your tongue, Josh, a little bit there. um ah Pause on that. Anyways, so...
00:16:04
Speaker
This is for all the belts on the line in terms of the featherweight belts. So let's go ahead and start with you, Yayo.
00:16:16
Speaker
What you got on this matchup? Look, man, this is going be –
00:16:22
Speaker
I'm going just say it like this, man. In a way, it's Cheney. He'd have been sat down by Southpaws a couple times now. know what I'm saying? this particular Southpaw has an amazing counter left hand, even though he's a Southpaw.
00:16:39
Speaker
And he has a counter uppercut. And an uppercut that he times when right-hangers decide they want to run up in that thing. So, um to be honest, man, What does Vegas want to do?
00:16:51
Speaker
I'm only picking off a conspiracy theory zone. What does Vegas want? Why has Vegas got Inouye and Bud and Canelo fighting all in the same weekend? Are they trying to say somebody's better than somebody?
00:17:03
Speaker
know what saying? They're trying to get that number one spot figured out. So I would love to say Akhmadelyev sits Inouye down, which he probably will because the last couple people have.
00:17:17
Speaker
But I'm to say In a way, by stoppage, probably around KO9, but he takes a seat somewhere early um early on because he's going to get crap coming in.
00:17:29
Speaker
So, the only reason why I pick in a way KO9 is because I don't think they want him to lose.
00:17:37
Speaker
Okay. I mean, that makes
Inouye vs. Akhmadelyev Analysis
00:17:39
Speaker
sense. Just to let you all know, Inouye is a 900 favorite. So an overwhelming favorite. Josh, what do you got in this one?
00:17:49
Speaker
ah Slipping on my man, MJ. Now, it should be a interesting contest right there. MJ, he has the amateur background. He's putting me in that work here on the pro side as well.
00:18:00
Speaker
And he battle tested, you know, he has a loss in that. And it was in a situation where could have gone the ah other way, honestly, and there may have been something off with MJ in that particular contest.
00:18:15
Speaker
All that said, ah do think that. In a way, he's on top of his game right now. He has been dropped. He will set himself up for exchanges, and he will put himself in vulnerable positions to get off shots of his own. So that is a risky proposition, but he seems to not really mind risking it, which is why he has been dropped in his last couple of contests.
00:18:39
Speaker
Hmm. I think that MJ is a hell of a boxer. ah do think athletically speaking, Inouye probably tops him slightly. I'm going to go Inouye via split decision. i think MJ will put up a fight.
00:18:55
Speaker
And I think he will stand the test of time because I haven't seen anything that would say otherwise as far as him not being able to withstand it for the duration. But Hey, that's why we watch them too, you know. So I got a, in a way, split decision.
00:19:13
Speaker
All right. Well, there you go. ah In a way does have a 90% KO percentage, getting 27 KOs in his 30 wins. Clever D, what do you got?
00:19:24
Speaker
ah Go ahead. I saw your finger out. I forgot to say something. The reason why i was picking a KO nine is because in a way he's going to go to the body on him. I'm saying he's going to stop him to the body.
00:19:37
Speaker
Oh boy has an opening that he does when he's up on the inside. so that's I wanted to make sure that was out there. Got you. By the chat. i was I was going to make sure you didn't say something else was going to say. And you yeahggy didn't.
00:19:49
Speaker
But hey, I said that too. I'd say for this one, you know i like to go i like to go with the better jabber. And in ways, the better jabber. I know MJ's career.
00:20:01
Speaker
MJ's last fight, what did he say? ah Uzbek of power whatever. and you know He does have power. He is good fighter. I do think he will rock anyway. might Like Yayo said, he might knock him down early in that fight. um but I feel like the way Inway's style is with him jabbing and and he's gonna basically he'll put himself out there which hasn't worked the last few fights as far as him getting dropped, but hope he'll put himself out there to set up traps for later on in the fight.
00:20:27
Speaker
And I think that's what's going to happen. He might, you know, get caught once or twice, but he's going to put himself out there so MJ can put a position to get taken out. And I think it will be very competitive. And i actually, I sent this earlier today.
00:20:41
Speaker
yeah Yeah, we're kind of the same. I got knockout anyway in the ninth round. a But it will be an action-packed fight in the first, I'll probably say six, and then it might start start changing.
00:20:52
Speaker
So you got the monster KO-9? KO-9, yep. All right, cool. KO-9. apo um Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to disagree with the with the gentlemen here that have chosen Kale. Obviously, as I just mentioned, he does have a 90% knockout rate, and he is undefeated in so many bouts for a reason. Experience does matter as well.
00:21:15
Speaker
um And again, I get exactly what Josh is saying, and can't You could see it going the distance, but I'm going to go KO as the as the other gentleman did. And I'm going to say, ah I don't know. Let's say KO. He usually gets people out of there pretty early. So I'm going to say KO, KO5, let's say. Okay.
00:21:38
Speaker
ah ah well i um All right, cool. Well, again, thank you everybody
Anticipation for Canelo vs. Crawford
00:21:44
Speaker
for tuning in. Make sure you hit us up in the comments. Let us know what you think. You think the monster's going to KO him? Do you think he'll go the distance? where you think about Donovan and Crocker as well? We are about to get into the huge main event this weekend. We're going to go through the whole, not the whole card, but most of the fights on the card because it is, as ah Josh said, a very stacked match.
00:22:05
Speaker
card. um So we're going to get into that. But make sure again that you please hit that like button, whether you're watching now or on the replay, and please make sure you tap in with all of the ah channels here.

A lot of stuff like Country Box as well. Shout out Country Box. Yeah. All right, cool.
00:22:34
Speaker
So, again, yeah, let us know in the comments when you think we're going to move it into this huge Saturday night main event card. ah Wow. This is gonna be a going to be a doozy, gentlemen. Canelo Alvarez, let me see. I don't know why that's not shifting up.
00:22:50
Speaker
Hopefully that'll work. Let's see. Boom. Canelo Alvarez versus Terrence Crawford. I can put that up so at least later I can go back and make sure I know where to enter that in at. But that's what we're talking about Let's go ahead and get into the prelims here of the actual card.
00:23:06
Speaker
So first we're going to go ahead and start off. with Deitchco versus Franklin. um So again, this is on the undercard. This is a 10-round heavyweight bout.
00:23:22
Speaker
So Clubber D, we will start with you on this one. what do you think about this fight? Daichiko, you know, he's he's that prototype, that tall fighter with power. he doesn't he's not He hasn't been as active throughout the years, but he's definitely someone they're trying to market.
00:23:36
Speaker
Jermaine Franklin's Magic Fiddle, her he's you know out of Detroit. i believe but yeah He's out of Detroit. he um He had a great showing against Deleon White and um and Joshua.
00:23:51
Speaker
I think that's where he gained his respects. I thought he would be a pushover, and those fights were very close. I'm a fan of Jermaine Franklin. um I feel like he's one of those fighters where He's just, his body style is just not fit for the heavyweights of this era.
00:24:08
Speaker
I think if he was a little lighter, I think he'd do a lot, he'd fare a lot better. um But ah he's going he's definitely going to give Daichie, hope I say his name right, he's going to give him a run for his money, but I'm i'm going with Daichie, and I'm not sure what round I had the fight done in, but I'm going to say for Essendon Giggles, I'm going say we'll go by decision.
00:24:31
Speaker
By decision, and Deitchco, by the way, is undefeated, 15-0, 14 of those coming by way of knockout. I had a fifth round KO, but might think that's good decision. Okay. with 15 KOs is Franklin. So, Josh, what you got on this belt?
00:24:51
Speaker
I think this is a good fight, actually, and to echo what said, Clever was said, and of course, Franklin, yeah, think he probably is better served being a bit lighter than what he is. and at at one point, he wasn't fighting full-time. I believe it was after the Joshua fight or somewhere in there transitioned to where he was fighting full-time.
00:25:15
Speaker
He came in a little better shape, I remember, I believe, in that fight than he did in the one prior there with Dillian White. In a fight that, of course, many thought that he won. That being said, yeah, I think he's one of those guys that kind of is right there on the cusp, on the outside, you know, not probably won't make it to that top 10 in terms of where we view him and his value as far as heavyweights in the world.
00:25:43
Speaker
But he can hang in and around there, not a world beater or whatever it may be. Deitchko, he is a big, solid guy. think he's in the neighborhood of 6'9", somewhere in that range. And his power seems to be legit, but it you can argue it's only as legit as a level of competition as well. So this is no doubt a step up for him.
00:26:06
Speaker
It's not necessarily a step up for Franklin. But it's certainly ah heck of a test for Franklin. And i think Deitchco will ultimately prevail. I'm going to go TKO9. I think that he's going to have to come out and put on an actual showing that gets people mentioning that, hey, he deserves to be a name amongst these others out here. And I feel like there's no better time, no better platform and stage. The fact that these are this platform, he's got to take advantage of it as far as I'm concerned.
00:26:41
Speaker
All right. No, I mean, that's, that's very, very astute analysis. Great job. Um, I do want to say though, and this isn't when you're, when you're thinking ah about this sort of thing, obviously you have to take into account, um,
00:26:57
Speaker
The fact that it is going to be, and this was mentioned before, especially when it comes to heavyweights, but certain heavyweights fighting in different countries than their own and possible decisions of that. And I think it was you, Yale, that mentioned that one time on this show as well. So give me more about your thoughts on this matchup.
00:27:20
Speaker
Well, I mean, I don't know how you could possibly follow up what Josh just said. um i think he he said it all, man. Honestly, i think this is one of those fights where it's a win-win for both fighters.
00:27:32
Speaker
it It really is a test for Dishko, and I just think this is the one fighter that he won't be able to stop, the one that can actually take him the distance. so um To be honest, I just want to take this go by, you know, it's probably like unanimous decision, but for our boxing league, I'm going to take it a majority decision.
00:27:53
Speaker
Okay. All right. And I actually, you know, I grew up on loving math. I'm an i'm an analyst. I just like numbers. And since he has 14 KOs and 15 bouts, I'm just going to assume that that is going to happen again.
00:28:08
Speaker
then he's going to KO him again. But I do think it is going to be, as all these gentlemen mentioned, a much harder fight than um than he's been ah put up to in the past.
00:28:19
Speaker
So I'm going to say it's going to be a late KO as well. I'll go, now let's say KO eight. <unk> I'll say you this. If he does KO Franklin, like that's going to be very good. but you raises need It's a major statement because he was been in it with Joshua and Deleon White and went the distance. and So, um you know, it's going to be pretty big if he could do that.
00:28:39
Speaker
yeah and and and And last I'll just add, um I'd be interested in seeing what um Franklin come comes in at weight-wise. I think if he's at a good, solid weight, then okay, that means he's locked in here in the training camp.
00:28:54
Speaker
Hopefully he's not at one of those heavier weights to where I can't remember when he last fought, but I feel like I hadn't seen him in a little bit now. But hopefully he comes in in top shape, and that could you know really change things.
00:29:08
Speaker
That's true. ah Salute, Ranger Danger. Ranger Danger. Shoot. My cousin right there. Salute. Think of that Ranger. Go check him out. The real Ranger Danger on YouTube.

00:30:22
Speaker
Two and a half days in the wake up. You are a no. Two and half days in the wake up, baby. Let's go. All right. Let's move it in to the next fight on this card.
00:30:34
Speaker
It's going to be Boachuk. versus Adams, and this is 12 rounds in the in the super welterweight.
00:30:44
Speaker
Bohachuk is 26-2 with 24 KOs, while Adams comes in at 25-4 with 16 KOs.
00:30:55
Speaker
So, Yayo, we're going to start with you on this one. Listen, man, Adams, Brandon Adams is a very, very underrated fighter.
00:31:07
Speaker
All right. they People saw he had a little layoff and they thought he was going to come back and be rusty. And he came back just put on a masterpiece. Feel me? He's one of those guys that, you know, he stays switched on. He's always ready.
00:31:22
Speaker
ah I, you know, I like Brandon Adams, you know, his boxing style. um Now, the other guy, he's a killer. You know i'm saying? He's got one mission is to seek and destroy. He ain't trying to box.
00:31:37
Speaker
He's trying to smash your head in. And unfortunately, i think he's meeting this match this match. I think he's going to run into a skilled boxer. He's not going to be able to load up and drop them hammers on on on Adams like he usually did with other people because Adams is not going to be there be hit.
00:31:53
Speaker
and he's going to get tired from missing. And I think Adams is going to make it it look a little easier than what, you know, people think he could do. So I'm taking Adams by unanimous decision. I wouldn't be surprised if he stopped him lately.
00:32:08
Speaker
There you go. adver name is decision We got Walsh versus Vargas. I'm excited. Shout out, Nate. Thank you for tuning in. That's a good one. Yeah, we're going to talk about that in just a couple fights here.
00:32:20
Speaker
Josh, what are your thoughts on this fight? Yeah, so this is actually a rematch. portioning It's a few fights in the making, I guess you can say, since they last met.
00:32:31
Speaker
And at that particular time, similar to now, Boachuk came in. He's kind of the guy that was knocking a lot of cats out. High motor, going to keep coming forward. And Adams was able to outbox him and found some spots and ultimately was able to stop him, which...
00:32:48
Speaker
I think won't be too far off in this particular contest. I think that Bullchuk sits at times. Since that time, he is now, of course, more battle tested.
00:32:59
Speaker
But yeah next that that being said, I don't know that he's necessarily elevated a level above Brandon Adams to where he's going to come in here it's going to be. a largely different fight. So I'm going to stick with kind of what Yayo said there. I'm going to go Brendan Adams to pick up the victory, but I think decision this time will probably be suited. So I'm going to go split decision in favor of Brendan Adams, but it should be a very interesting fight, I would say.
00:33:31
Speaker
All right, there you go. Clubber D, what are your thoughts on this fight? Like Josh has said, this is a rematch, but you know Adams did stop him. But that was, those what, 2021, right in smack dab of COVID?
00:33:42
Speaker
Not making excuses, but making one. and The only other time Bochek lost was Virgil Ortiz, which was like damn near fire the year, and he i thought he won that fight. um His last outing was against, ah I forgot his first name, but Fox. it was It was a good fight. Fox going to slouch, Borchick didn't look as much as a killer as he did against Ortiz. But I think for this fight, I actually have Borchick winning by decision. i think he's going to be a ah different man than the one that fought in 2021, and he wants to prove that he is who we say is after his last performance that wasn't so great against Fox. He still got the dub, but I'm going with Borchick by decision.
00:34:22
Speaker
All right. There you go. So um in this fight, yeah, Boachuk, i when I have seen him fight, he's a very tough fighter. He's going to be able to take a lot of the punishment that the opposing fighter is is going to give him.
00:34:40
Speaker
He also is a very hard puncher himself. Again, I'm just going to... go with logic here in terms of the numbers and who has, uh, uh, more knockouts here, uh, in terms of, you know, I'm just going along with the, with the picks group.
00:34:58
Speaker
Uh, so I'm going to go with Boachuk as well, and I'm going to go KO. Um, and I'm going to put that in the sixth round KO six. okay So there you go.
00:35:09
Speaker
um All right, cool. Let's get to some comments here real quick. ah Let's see what we got here. We got... Oh, that's just y'all commenting. they got power power You got Power Up on there.
00:35:23
Speaker
Oh, yeah, I think you already got him. Shout out Power Up. Nate, appreciate y'all tuning in. and then All right, cool. so Let's go ahead move it into the next fight on this card. um This is going to be your Mbilly Vibes.
00:35:38
Speaker
versus Martinez. Is that over Walsh? Oh, yeah, no. That should be the co-main, I believe. Okay, because in Box Live, they have Walsh under that, but that's... Oh, they do? I don't know. Damn. I think the co-main is in Billy Martinez. That should be the co-main. That should be the co-main.
00:36:00
Speaker
Okay, let's do Walsh Vargas here then. So we're going to go ahead here and switch that up. We're going to go to the Walsh Vargas fight. So you got Callum Walsh, 14-0 with 11 KOs versus Fernando Vargas Jr., 17-0, 15 KOs, 10 rounds.
00:36:19
Speaker
Junior middleweights, Clubber D, let's start with you. What do you got in this fight? You know, i was a big fan of the Vargas family. I love Vargas Sr. He's one of my favorite fighters. um Him, Mayweather, I think what David Reed was part that Olympic team.
00:36:34
Speaker
um I thought he fought Trinidad a little too early, but if they get knocked out 12th, that was a close-ass fight. But anyways... um
00:36:43
Speaker
Now, I saw people saying, like, just battle the prospects. I don't know if Fernando Jr. is still a prospect at 28. I could be wrong. Trust me, I'm not right all the time. But at 28, I don't if he's still a prospect. Walsh is definitely a prospect of, what, 24 years old, I believe?
00:36:57
Speaker
24 26, one of two. But, ah He's a tad younger. he's Walsh is the hype trainer behind Dana White's UFC boxing. He's also dating a u UFC fighter.
00:37:07
Speaker
um I know the trash talk has gone little crazy where Fargus has made comments about his girlfriend and DMing him and things like that. I'm not a big fan of that stuff, but you got something. Yeah, it's crazy. feel like oh i ah feel like
00:37:26
Speaker
Fernando needs his fight more than Walsh does. And that's just because of the backing but but behind Walsh. He's also trained by Freddie Roach, so you know he got some sparring with Manny and everybody. ah so I actually, for this fight, i was going back and forth, back and forth on this one. But, you know, I'm being kind of, ah as my shirt says, petty on the reason I'm making this pick. I'm going with Walsh by decision.
00:37:50
Speaker
Because, you know, you're not going to like racist tweets by certain people. Okay? I can't cant can't mess with you. So I'm going Walsh on this one. All right, Walsh. And thank you, ah Yale, for the odds here. Yale knows what talking about.
00:38:04
Speaker
odds 330 favorite here for Walsh, Vargas Jr., the 245 underdog. Josh, what do got on this fight? Yeah, this is an interesting one, and i kind of viewed it as a pick-em. Vargas course, he's following in the footsteps of his father. That can always be a touchy and tricky situation for a fighter.
00:38:29
Speaker
That being said, he's got some other brothers out there doing their thing as well, and they seem to be kind of separating themselves individually, kind of on their own little paths and whatnot.
00:38:42
Speaker
I've seen some Kalen Walsh, probably seen a little bit more Vargas, and I think it's a very interesting fight. You never know how... One will turn out into a step into one of those step-up matchups, and I think that's the case here for Vargas Jr. Walsh.
00:39:02
Speaker
I mean, I believe he he'll come game, he'll have that fighting in his blood representing for his country. So there's no doubt that he's going to be there to stick it all the way through.
00:39:14
Speaker
I'm going to lean on... Sort of the corner and pedigree behind Vargas Jr. So I'm going to take him via split decision in what will be an interesting context, i would say.
00:39:28
Speaker
Yeah, and just to answer Cleberty's question earlier that he had 24 years old, Callum Walsh. Fernando Vargas is 28. Gotcha. Also, both of these dudes, Yale, are heavy hitters. or ah Fernando Vargas has an 88 KO percentage, 15 and 17 wins, while Callum Walsh has a 79% KO percentage, 11 and 14 fights. So this is going to be a very hard-hitting battle, my friend. What do you think today?
00:39:54
Speaker
Yeah, just like you said, man, they're respected you better bring your ass on to the main event chucker you better bring your ass on for tomato hurry up yeah the the respect is be earned pretty quickly.
00:40:09
Speaker
they're goingnna realize what but one another has and to be honest ma'am that this was a tough one for me let me ask out this where's the fight at they low heater studio Big crowd. Allegiant Stadium. Man, they like to send the Europeans packing sometimes, don't they?
00:40:32
Speaker
don't know, fam. You got to understand, he's backed by Dana White. This man's been on Monday Night Raw plenty times where they're like, oh, Kyle Ross, an up-and-coming fighter. Who's promoting this fight?
00:40:43
Speaker
look This whole card. I got the fight on it. I got it going the distance. I got a split decision now. I just don't know if it's Walsh or Vargas Jr. I'm going ride with Walsh.
00:40:56
Speaker
Split decision. It's a tough one. yeah With that Tia Fimo tweet... The LOL got me. yeah Oh, I hadn't seen that. yeah when he did um he didn don't support any racism When he did the bananas to he this show.
00:41:15
Speaker
do see Varks. Varks can't win. This is a good fight. We have three fighter nights on this card. i do see very first can't win he's good he this is a good fight this so be ah yeah brief fires of for friday nights um m car What does Vegas want to do, man? like Are they trying to clean up this weekend? should you know Is this another draw fight?
00:41:39
Speaker
Vargas said the underdog, so very interesting. They lean towards the marketable Irish 24-year-old. Yeah.
00:41:51
Speaker
like watch so they do do they do to get They get down crazy. jerry come the bright no square garden but hit with that shepherd's pie upper or cut like buy up and take ah no i mean a season Seasonless. Seasonless.
00:42:11
Speaker
Very seasonless. No love, no love. Very seasonless. I'm with you, though. They're both going be throwing uppercuts, and it's going to be – again, i if I'm looking at this with my eyes and I'm looking at the numbers, I want to take Fernando Vargas by KLB, and I'm also thinking because they both are heavy hitters, like,
00:42:29
Speaker
Are they both going to be able to go all the way to a decision without one of them getting knocked out? Or they going to stand toe-to-toe and one of them is just going to take the fall on their short kind of thing? um So...
00:42:42
Speaker
i um'm I'm convinced by the past decision arguments, and it kind of makes me want to lean towards a decision because you're making me think that both of these men can actually get through the 10 rounds without falling victim to KO.
00:42:55
Speaker
But since I've been on the numbers kicking, since that's what I'm picking in the fight group, I'm going to stick with what I got. I'm to Fernando Vargas lineage type of pick here.
00:43:06
Speaker
KO, late KO though, you know I'm thinking even like a KO 8, KO 9 sort of situation. they just like They're balling at the end and just like, bow, just catches them sort of thing.
00:43:18
Speaker
yeah And I guess I would be remiss if I didn't say you just Could end up being a stinker, too. So, you know, that's never off the table. Well, thanks a lot for just killing everybody. Hopefully it's not stinker, but um i don't hopefully they're not there and super cautious with each other. You know, but we'll see. yeah Everybody gets hyped. Go fight, go fight. Nothing.
00:43:41
Speaker
Just tap me. but Shout out. Let's see. Skywalker, I'll be on my badges getting home. All right, not a big deal. Then Nate says, I got Canelo, but I feel like Crawford is going to win just like Usyk did ah Fury. But if Canelo wins, it's good so we can see a Benavidez fight.
00:44:01
Speaker
Well, he ain't taking that fight. That fight ain't happening. That ain't happening. It's not happening. He just failed there. That's funny. Unfortunately. He's not going out with a beatdown like that. like Hall the Famer gets bludgeoned to death. Bludgeoned to death.
00:44:21
Speaker
hear Oh, that's ah crazy. I had to put it and to put this banner up for the main event that we're about to get into. But no, that that's, i yeah, Nate, I think the the gentleman spoke on this last show that we did. But that fight, I think everybody consensus has it never happening in our lives. So, yeah, sorry.
00:44:41
Speaker
Anyways, all right, let's keep it moving. There we go. We'll move it into the co-main event of the evening. Papi Chunyeo, we're going to start with you on this one. Mbili, 29-0 versus Martinez, 19-0. So both two here undefeated fighters.
00:45:00
Speaker
Mbilly, 30 years of age. Martinez, 29 years of age. Martinez does have a two-inch height advantage on him. Their KO percentages are pretty much equal, 84 to 83 percentage. So, again, another hard-hitting battle. Mbilly does have the experience by a lot of pro rounds, actually. It's going to be, let's see, 59 pro rounds more than Mbilly.
00:45:28
Speaker
than Martinez, which obviously shows in the record as well. He's also ranked number one by the ring, according to box live. So Bobby, how do you feel about this fight? Yeah, man. ah You know, unfortunately i think in Billy is like, he's a wrecking ball fan.
00:45:45
Speaker
And it's just going to be different. You know what saying? I know Lester, you know what saying? has He has an amazing record. um You know, he definitely has the ability to stop people. But in Billy, that that reach ain't going make a difference.
00:46:01
Speaker
My man is coming forward. He's going to get tired. And he's going to catch them. It's going to be early. But... I don't know. i just There's going to be a lot of knockdowns in this fight. um I think there's going to be like three knockdowns in this fight because old boy got mad heart and he just ain't going want to give it up like that. I think if Billy going damn near have to kill him and that's what's going to happen.
00:46:22
Speaker
So I want to say in Billy KO somewhere six through eight, but I think he's going to sit him down a few times.
00:46:35
Speaker
two Choose one, six or eight, please. so for Six. We'll go with six. For the YouTube crowd. All right. kos six KO6 for Mbilly. All right. Thank you for joining us there, Skywalker.
00:46:46
Speaker
sorry, man. 8-7 Central, bro, not 7 Eastern. So I got a big mix-up, bro. I forget that you're Central. so Right. But in in the post, I put Eastern time. Do you not know how to do the hour back? Is that what we're doing?
00:46:59
Speaker
I can, bro. I even told Carlos I was all seven your time bro and because I had a Carlos from fantasy prediction league morning to hop in and get his tape.
00:47:14
Speaker
So I sent him a link right now my bad I'm so sorry guys I just am just a busy day. Much love to everybody. Glad to be on. We're talking about Christian Biddy, that Canadian super middleweight monster.
00:47:28
Speaker
oh He's been ah putting people out quick. man He's got that style, man that that swarm pressure. um i got him KO for this fight. K04 for Skywalker. All right, cool. Josh, what what are your thoughts on this fight?
00:47:44
Speaker
Hey, this is for me the most interesting fight on the card outside of, I guess, the main bench, you could say. But, man, I'm so torn. And man this is partially because i just like both fighters. I like both fighters in terms of what they bring to the table.
00:47:58
Speaker
and just in general. And, man, it's been torn. It's been one that I've said was kind of 50-50, but that experience edge is on the side of Mbili. Mbili is a bit more battle-tested, but that's not to say Martinez isn't ready to bring that hammer, you know, because he's got some pop to him as well.
00:48:16
Speaker
He has a win over Carlos Gungora, who's a solid fighter for sure. But Mbili, he has, I guess, in totality, more of the better, I guess, more signature wins.
00:48:29
Speaker
And, man, this is like a prime time. So no excuses for either of them. I think they're coming in both in their prime, ready to go. And it's going to be interesting for sure.
00:48:40
Speaker
Martinez out of Guatemala. Don't see too many Guatemalan fighters getting to this level right here. I think he has that makeup, that championship style status and makeup.
00:48:54
Speaker
But Mbili, man, he's such a force, and he goes nonstop. And, man, he he's just been impressive his entire career because usually when you see guys who throw that amount of punches, with that type of build that he has, they really don't tend to last in the later rounds. But that is the opposite of the case there with Mbili because he's winning these things for the duration. So you could argue he's built different in some sense.
00:49:21
Speaker
So... Man, this is such a tough one here for me. Such a tough one. I mean that legitimately. I think that
00:49:32
Speaker
I'm going to go draw. Oh, you'll draw. Yes, sir. All right. Well, just to let you all know and update you on these odds, M. Billy is a 170 favorite. Martinez, a 135 underdog. Clobber what do you have on this line?
00:49:52
Speaker
like Like everybody said, this is a tough fight. And and kind of like the the prior two fights we just talked about, this can be fight of the night without even going to the main event, which is going to be, hopefully, fingers fingers and toenails crossed is a big one as well.
00:50:04
Speaker
um My thing with Lester Martinez, he trains with Bomek and Crawford. um Bomek says that he gets stronger later in rounds.
00:50:16
Speaker
He's to stay on that front foot. He's going to to use that jab. He is a taller, bigger guy. but ah you know And Billy, you know he's nonstop pressure. He has great endurance. He's going to to take you out. His last fight was a first-round knockout.
00:50:28
Speaker
I mean, he's knocked someone out. looked like he was sleuthing when he was going back. He's going to have some serious knock-the-race-off-your-face power. Yeah. They are going to meet in the ring and kind of see who's who's the who's the better fighter. And I feel like it's that scene from Creed, think part two, when you have the tire and you're in the desert and you put your foot in the tire with the other person just going at it. yeah ah feel like that's going to be this fight. And um For some reason, Lester Martinez, shout out to a man Glenn who runs Auto Game Detailing out in Stafford, Virginia. That's the homie.
00:51:04
Speaker
He's from Guatemala. like got a lot of close-to-ear friends out of Guatemalan. And then, you know, this man's born and raised in Guatemala, I think, city. I think it's where he's from. But, ah you know, he's a hell of a fighter.
00:51:15
Speaker
But...
00:51:17
Speaker
I got to stick with my N'Billy KO in seven rounds. Okay. I got N'Billy winning in seven rounds, but this is I'm going to do a club or caveat. I can also see Lester winning in 10 rounds, but I'm going to go N'Billy in seven.
00:51:33
Speaker
When I was looking at this, man, I didn't notice that it it was Lester Martinez. I thought it was it was a different Martinez, but this this is the one that beat Joshan James. Yep.
00:51:44
Speaker
Oh, this guy's a bad dude, bro. This is going to be, a like Josh said, this going to be a good, good fight. Talk about fight right here. Ben Gore is the only opponent they both went against. you know I think think Lester stopped him and went to distance with and Billy.
00:52:00
Speaker
so you know fighters though um yeah um Lester Martinez has got that one one hitter quitter. He's going to put your ass to sleep with the thunder.
00:52:13
Speaker
and Billy is just constant motherfucking pressure getting cracked. and cracked So it's a different kind of power, both pretty pretty scary. It's going a good fight.
00:52:25
Speaker
Got one last question. Oh, my bad. ahead, O. My bad. No, go ahead. I would say, like, to me, this is like a ah poor man's Morrell versus Benavidez.
00:52:36
Speaker
Yeah. don't know if you anybody would agree with that. Yeah, it is. Yeah, you're right. I think there's going to be a lot of 50-50 exchanges right yeah because they both are crushers.
00:52:50
Speaker
And I just think, me, I think and Billy's going to get to them faster. Me too. I just do. i see it I see it happen. I see somebody swinging, and I see somebody getting their furs, and, you know, you're just running right through it. Yeah, both of them do.
00:53:04
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, both of them have something. Three-plus knockdowns. Melatonin awards coming up. ah so Hey, I was just going to say, I will say that in Billy, I think you mentioned Omar De Deke.
00:53:20
Speaker
They have him rated number one there at 168, which I think is deserved. he put it He's put in some good work here. So this is a tough fight for him, a risky fight for him as well, as everyone kind of waits in line for that Canelo sweepstakes that everyone ultimately hopes to get.
00:53:39
Speaker
it's risky fight.
00:53:42
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, it is a very risky fight. on And again, it's also just like the last couple fights we talked about, two very heavy hitters. These guys, again, are knocking out most of their opponents. But as you mentioned, ah you know...
00:53:57
Speaker
It seems like at least when you watch these fighters, M'Billy's power is just a little more powerful, like Skywalker was saying. I think you i think that's evident when you're looking at the TV.
00:54:11
Speaker
um So, yeah, I think it's going to be a really great fight here as well. But, again, I'm going to go in terms here of them both being really... good fighters good records heavy hitters I'm gonna go with experience here and and Billy is the one with the experience so I'm gonna go KO as well let's go I don't know let's go KO eight maybe I don't even know I'm not to change that later because I'm knock him out even earlier than that so probably like a KO six or seven i would even say I had seven would you have yeah I went with six
00:54:48
Speaker
Since I didn't know which Lester it was, can I switch my pick? Of course you can. Yeah, sure. I'm going to do KO7 as well. That's okay. Yeah, a little later, i think.
00:54:59
Speaker
it I ain't Vegas. ain't holding you to no bench. Yeah, yeah, no, KO7. I'm going to go KO7 and Billy. And I think it's going to be like a – not a KO. It's going to TKO. It's going be a rough a ref stopping it because too many big shots being landed. yeah i can see that.
00:55:15
Speaker
Yeah. i watch I might have to watch this one shoe on and I have to pull sleeve up just like that. I might just just sleeve up on this side, shoe off on the other side. might have watch it just mismatch like that. You know what I'm saying? Let's see some comments here. Morning Wombat says, I'm backing Mbili here. I think he's the better athlete of the two, and I think he's fought the better opposition with Selecki and Gerevchenko.
00:55:39
Speaker
um Everybody seems to agree with you there morning long. We appreciate you tuning in, brother. What'd you say, company? You interviewed him, Devinchenko.
00:55:49
Speaker
Yes, I did. yeah The homer. Got cheated on some fights. you got against G. that trip yeah you want whatever i not him in a fight.
00:56:06
Speaker
I thought he got Charlo also. That Munguia fight was good. Munguia. That's what I thought you got. Munguia. Fight of the year.
00:56:17
Speaker
Man, we just seen the fight of the year the other day, guys. I don't if you guys were watching that dad fight the other night. you know oh Damn, Diaz and Sugar Nunez for the IVF strap. I need to watch that fight. I call highlights of it.
00:56:34
Speaker
Holy shit. Watch that whole fight if you can get a chance. That fight was fight the year for me so far. twenty Oh, there you go. There's a recommendation for you. and Go check that out, y'all. Fight of year for me. So for Skywalker, Sugar Nunez, and Diaz, man, for that IBF strap.
00:56:49
Speaker
Wow. ah Diaz came to fight, man. That was a good fight. And by the way, yeah, that reminds me, I want to mention again that that in Billy Martinez is for the interim WBC super middleweight title. So it is for an interim title. Maybe the winner gets a shot at a Canelo, potentially.
00:57:08
Speaker
If Canelo wins. New undisputed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Might be issues of Lester wins because he trains with BOMAC and that's Crawford's trainer. So it might be a little, ah you know. Those are up for grabs.
00:57:22
Speaker
Mm-hmm. But maybe Crawford, and it'll be his swine song if he wins. He's like, I'm done. don't have to do. Appreciate the Just Frank. Thank you for tuning in. Appreciate everybody tuning in.

00:58:21
Speaker
Cool. Jose Diaz, there's the biggest size difference. I think he's referring to the last conversation that you gentlemen were having. So we'll go there. And now we're going to get into the main event of the evening, what we all came for.
00:58:38
Speaker
Yes, one of the biggest fights in, I mean, pshh. Most of the memory that I have. um I don't even want to say recent memory. just like in memory. ah We got Canelo, Saul Alvarez, 63-2-2 versus Terrence Budd, the illest you-know-what from Nebraska Crawford.
00:59:01
Speaker
And we got them coming in at 41-0 undefeated, by the way. And let's not forget... Crawford here is going to try to become the first men's boxer to be undisputed champion in three weight classes in the four belt era.
00:59:17
Speaker
Clarissa Shields just recently did that for the women's side when she defeated Danielle Perkins for the heavyweight title in July. Professor's fun fact there. um But anyways, when we're looking at this, let's look at the odds. The odds are 180 favorite in terms of Alvarez, Crawford,
00:59:34
Speaker
Crawford is a 145 underdog. Crawford is two years older and one inch shorter. We also have all heard about the size difference. Obviously, moving up two weight classes is huge, going from 147 to you're up at um Wowzers what a huge huge main event club or we are starting with you what are your thoughts on this fight well I mean a
01:00:10
Speaker
when I first we first talked about this a while ago i was like you know styles styles not styles make fights but there's weight classes for a reason and things of that nature um Crawford last fought at 154 over a year ago. So he's had time to put the proper weight on and train correctly for this fight.
01:00:28
Speaker
um Charlo came out in a recent interview saying that he wished he would have held more weight when he came when he fought Canelo. And he just put on his track shoes the whole fight. um i really honestly feel...
01:00:42
Speaker
Crawford will have a great ah game plan. He's not a runner for all you fans saying that he runs. He doesn't run. are you talking about? um I think he's going go to the body. I think he's going to do his best to keep Canelo off him because the main thing is gonna be hitting the arms. Canelo's just trying to bruise him anywhere. You know what I'm saying?
01:00:59
Speaker
I think that's going Canelo's um ah game plan going into this fight. Canelo's going to the bigger guy, obviously. I'm... i'm going to go with a split decision. I'm going to go with Crawford because you cannot. There's no way in hell you're going to win your dance against Canelo.
01:01:22
Speaker
There's no way. Ask Floyd. Ask Bivol. We've all seen those fights. I'm going to go with Crawford split decision. Caveat, a draw.
01:01:34
Speaker
See, this is crazy because when I was making my pick earlier, Clever D, I was thinking about all the times we've talked about this fight over the past couple of years since it was first announced. And I was thinking about all the times you mentioned that size difference is just going to be too much.
01:01:48
Speaker
And a lot of people agree with you. A lot of people that have been talking about this this week, including Mike Tyson, came out and said as much as he wants Crawford to win, he thinks the size difference is just going to be too much. So Mike Tyson agrees.
01:02:01
Speaker
with you there. But then you look at somebody like Teddy Atlas who comes in and points out that just like you had mentioned just now in Canelo's last fight, not as active anymore. How can that affect the fight as we're coming in?
01:02:16
Speaker
Plus, as you mentioned as well, Crawford has had time to gain into that actual weight that he's building into. So all of these things, as I was thinking about my pick, I'm also analyzing these things and I'm thinking,
01:02:29
Speaker
And now that you've said this, I'm damn, we were we were thinking along the same exact line. So that's crazy. But, yeah, there you go. Josh, what do you think about all this? Man, this is crazy. This is crazy. I'll try not to be long-winded.
01:02:45
Speaker
Now, leading up to this, I've been going i've been leaning, no stranger to leaning towards Canelo in all of the previous conversations I've had surrounding this. I've leaned in the direction of Canelo Alvarez.
01:03:01
Speaker
factoring in kind of the size, his status there, being solidified 168 pounds, being what it is and what it means for Bud Crawford to jump up two weight classes to try and take out the top dog at that weight class.
01:03:17
Speaker
But I've thought long and hard over it. for several weeks now and even here within the last week or so even harder you know I'll say that know but there's just something about him he is mentally tough he's 100% dedicated to this he's going about everything the right way tactful uh meticulous, he's going to make sure that he's he comes in there 100% ready to go. And he's put on the weight the right way, which is all you can ask for. And there's something about those guys who don't blow up it the offseason or whatever you want to call it, who don't get far beyond what they generally walk around at or whatever it may be.
01:04:03
Speaker
And I think he is one of those guys. He doesn't smoke, doesn't drink. He's 100% dedicated to this sport. And, you know, he's got some dog in him. And I just feel like he has some of that dog in him that might be a little bit different, you know, coming up in Omaha, Nebraska.
01:04:20
Speaker
Bud Crawford, Omaha, Nebraska. I can only imagine there in school and all of that stuff. And he said he used to have to fight all the time. I can only imagine the Jones and the joking and all that stuff that built him up.
01:04:32
Speaker
Mentally, I think he's mentally tough. He's mentally there. always say that a it's interesting, but we have some historical precedent in terms of a great smaller fighter growing up to be a great bigger fighter. And you could argue, okay, where were they at? whether or not they were both in their primes or whatever, but they can Carmen Basilio, Sugar Ray Robinson. So Basilio was welterweight champion of the world, went up to beat the middleweight champion, Sugar Ray Robinson. And this was a case where he didn't have the in-between 154-pound class.
01:05:06
Speaker
So essentially like jumping up two-weight classes, you have Leonard going up, beat Hagler by that same token. Durant went up, beat Leonard. You could say the top style of fight that he fought. And I think about guys like Barbados Jo Walkow, who was but He's going 40, and he can knock out heavyweight stings of that nature. And this is going way back there.
01:05:28
Speaker
So what I'm saying, I say that to say that, man, as I've thought about it and looked at sort of how Crawford has approached this, his confidence and overall expectations and taking nothing away from Canelo because I think he is one of those guys who makes it a situation where a smaller, great fighter is fighting the – bigger great fighter, but I'm going to go ahead, sign, seal, deliver, and say Terrence Crawford wins this fight. I'm taking that decision. I'm going to say split decision, but I'm going to go with Terrence Crawford.
01:06:10
Speaker
And as I mentioned previously, I've been all in on Canelo, but I just think that there's something. And Crawford has that makeup of some of the guys that I mentioned, like the Basilios, et cetera, who will go up.
01:06:23
Speaker
And, hey, they're not going to be shook or afraid about what's coming back at them because they're on a single mission, and that mission is driven by their own mentality. So I'm going Crawford, split decision.
01:06:35
Speaker
why um and And, yeah, you know, you you make a good point there because Virgil Hunter, you all know him, who has trained Andre Berto, Andre Ward, so on and so forth, is said that Crawford will have to go ahead and absorb all of, you know, Alvarez's punches. Now, Crawford holds a three-and-a-half-inch reach advantage, but that doesn't mean that if – Canelo is able to catch Crawford, which is ah if with Crawford's speed, that he does still have heavy hands, especially at that bigger weight. So Hunter said Alvarez will have to quicken his pursuit, as you mentioned, right?
01:07:12
Speaker
um Obviously Canelo is going to have to work to cut off the ring at different points and get in front of him. Yale, what are your thoughts on this huge, huge main event? Man, I ain't even tripping about none of this shit. one Really, fan of the sport and as a fan of the boxers, I can say this.
01:07:34
Speaker
Canelo Alvarez is a great fighter. Bud Crawford is a great fighter. But there's some bullshit-ass fans out here, fam. And them motherfuckers got me in my bag like, oh, it's the blacks versus the Mexicans. No, man, it's two athletes versus two athletes. But since y'all motherfuckers have been talking a lot of shit, big shit.
01:07:55
Speaker
Listen, I'm going to give y'all some game real quick. A lot of people say that 10 pounds of fat weighs more than 10 pounds of muscle. You ever heard that before? I've heard it. ah ado like I thought it was the other way around. i thought less Muscle weighs more than fat.
01:08:12
Speaker
Oh, muscle weighs more than fat. If it's 10 pounds of muscle and it's 10 pounds of fat, don't they weigh the same? They both 10 pounds, right? That's a good true. true thank you So listen, man. where a When we get to the weigh-in, both of them are going to be on weight.
01:08:25
Speaker
That means they both weigh the same amount. right yeah I don't know what's fat and I don't know what's muscle. But what I do know is Vegas does not want Canelo to lose. Black folks don't want Crawford to lose.
01:08:38
Speaker
Mexican folks don't want Canelo to lose. It's about to be like a mini Civil War, but state man, listen. Okay, I'm good um betting two times. I hope I'm riding with Crawford by split decision just because, you know saying, Mexican people have pissed me off for the last long time with the shit they've been saying about us.
01:08:59
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? So I'm taking Bud by split decision one way, and then I'm taking a split – I would call it a split draw. I think it'll probably be one one card in favor for Canelo and two draws, Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
01:09:13
Speaker
then But um you know inside, i'm hoping um I hope Bud beat the brakes off that motherfucker. You know what I'm saying? Bud, listen, man. You do not have to take punches, man. I want to be pissed off watching this fight. I want i want three punches to land for a round. I want all three of them to be Buds.
01:09:32
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? That's what I want to see. I want to be ugly so I can talk some slow shit to these motherfuckers every time I say that. Slow shit. That might be all knows a new slogan. Slow shit. Slow shit. Hey, David slays Goliath.
01:09:45
Speaker
you seen a bit We done seen it in history before. One Goliath, a red-haired giant, you gots to go. Hey, Canelo went up and fought Kovalev. We jumped to what, three? Fight Kovalev? Two or three weight classes. Kovalev was fighting Canelo like what he was sparring with his grandmama. Oh, he just fought, what was it? a les Yard.
01:10:06
Speaker
Yard, yeah, Yard. just fought in like four months ago. Kovalev didn't punch Canelo hard at all, bro. Right time, he...
01:10:16
Speaker
I completely you know agree with what you said about all of the different factions, right? It's Mexican Independence Day. So, of course, you know the the the contingent is going to be in Vegas, hard pause, but also um ah it's his weekend usually, right? That's like his mid-weekend in Vegas to go out there and show show show off in front of everyone.
01:10:42
Speaker
That's the way New Weathers... That's Floyd Mayweather's big weekend, remember? Did Floyd say, look for cell let me hold that, didn't he?
01:10:53
Speaker
so But when you also look at it, right, Turkey Alashik wanted this fight for a reason. He does like Crawford, right? And when you're in Vegas, you see these things all the time with these fights. You know, how are they really, are they really decided the right way? So I can completely see everything that has been said, split decision, split your draw. but I can see every ridiculous card out there that could be for this fight. What do you think, Skywalker?
01:11:20
Speaker
Hey, respect to to both fighters is a good fight. I know it's a two-way class difference. um Canelo, you know his last fight against skull he was you know and in a tough fight having a chase cold down skulls running the whole fight.
01:11:37
Speaker
um But but Crawford he had a a bland performance against but against a very good fighter in Madrimal. He can't you know, Madrimal monster, right?
01:11:48
Speaker
oh I'm not counting but out on this fight at all. He's put on the put on the the weight correctly looks nice. He's a great counter puncher. I think that Canelo is going to be very hesitant on his attacks. We're not going to see an explosive Canelo. I agree with more than Wombat.
Canelo's Legacy and Fight Strategy
01:12:06
Speaker
We're kind of seeing the tail end of a great fighter in Canelo. This is towards the end of his career.
01:12:12
Speaker
And, you know, this is legacy fight. Bud is the the kind of fighter I'm giving him way more credit than what they gave Jermell Charlo. And there a lot of believers in Jermell, you know, and we've seen what Canelo did to Jermell.
01:12:29
Speaker
um I got Canelo by decision. I don't think he's going to get Bud out of there. think he's going be very cautious with Bud because Bud's a very good, but one of the best counter punchers in the game, the best switch hitter in the game, you know what i mean?
01:12:41
Speaker
So he's to have to be very ah intelligent and and cautious with Bud. on i do I'm not counting Bud out. if I believe Bud could win this if he can score a lot of nice counters on Canelo's offense and just stay away from him, kind of like how Skull did, you know get around the ring and and outbox. He could possibly outbox Canelo.
01:13:05
Speaker
So that's that's my theory. If Bud wins, I believe Bud will win by decision, not by knockout, but but a very nice nice fight. and But, yeah, I got Canelo by decision, man.
01:13:16
Speaker
What kind of decision? Unanimous. Unanimous. Unanimous decision. All right, cool. Let's get to the comments here, as he was mentioning, more Morning Wombat. I think Canelo is too complacent at this point of his career. The old Canelo who fought Trout and Lara would have cut off the ring.
01:13:30
Speaker
He allowed Skull to circle him for most of the fight. Clever D did say Lara's footwork complicated. Canelo, it was a close fight, in my opinion. Jose Diaz, why did Boots do that? Skywalk. Oh, that was that was a comment you were saying about Skywalk. got you.
01:13:45
Speaker
ah Salute to Bruce Gass, Boxing Jazz and more. We appreciate you tuning in. bruce Morning Wombat also says he seems very entitled because he is Canelo and he's been a big star for so long. Let's not forget after Bevo outclassed him, Canelo was claiming he won the fight.
01:14:03
Speaker
I think that Crawford is hungrier. he then goes on to say, my main concern is the fact that I think Bud has to outbox Canelo to win, and Canelo always seems to get the benefit of the doubt, as I was mentioning just a couple minutes ago, on the scorecards in Vegas. Yes, yes.
01:14:24
Speaker
Yayo comes in. Canelo had trouble with smaller fighters. Jose Diaz says he looks super dehydrated. Yayo says Canelo's output is trash. Jose Diaz has parents by decision.
01:14:38
Speaker
there you go. I'm wondering how much Canelo's going to weigh day of the fight because I remember when he fought Amir Khan or even when fought Koto, just like two separate weight classes when they fought. Like Khan said, he was Damian Cruz's weight when they fought and he...
01:14:52
Speaker
you know, knocked his head off his shoulders. And when he fought Cotto, he looks so much bigger. I don't know if it was just because he's trying to get revenge on Cotto's older brother i had him rocked back in the day. But, you know, i really wondering how big Cano's going to come in for this fight. And I think the key really for Crawford is going to good to the body.
01:15:11
Speaker
Like Roy Jones thinks he's going to stop him to the body later in the fight, which be very interesting. Roy thinks that we'll stop Canelo? Yep, to the body. i say something I would aim in on that. I wanted to note that I know they announced who the judges are. I can't remember who the judges are. The referee is going to be Steve Taylor, who I think is a solid referee.
01:15:33
Speaker
He's got some good experience and all that stuff, so he should let them fight. He's not the type to jump in there and take a point or anything quick. So I think, yeah, this could play out in a multitude of ways here. So it was very interesting, very compelling fight at that as well. And then I was going to think, I was also just thinking of here the back of my head, remember when Kell Brook jumped up to middleweight to fight Triple G? Oh, yes. i got whichna's pocket And I like Brook at that time, and I and i think he's legit.
01:16:05
Speaker
But man, he just couldn't handle those shots. Now that being said, Crawford, I think he's the way he's done about it, he's going to be a little bit better. so was that Was that after Earl Spence?
01:16:16
Speaker
The fight directly after Earl Spence? I think it was the one before it actually. I think it was before. Because he wasn't able to say about that eye socket. Oh no, you're right. i was that I think it was after there actually. this was early um No, that was the other socket that got broke.
01:16:33
Speaker
Yeah. I think he had both of them broken. Both of them broken? Okay. Big fight was 2017. I know that for sure. Yeah. Yeah. He got that other one. yeah he got that other one Because he was never the same after that after that ah triple G. I was like, oh, Jesus. So that's kind of a recent example of where a smaller guy we up and got that hurt and put on him. But that means, yeah, Canelo, he did start out at like 140, the low 140s or something like that, for not saying, when he was younger.
01:16:58
Speaker
So it's been a gradual rise for him. Crawford started out 135. and it is interesting that he's only had that one fight at 154, so it's almost like, hey, you're having a weight class in some sense, you know, but very interesting. And that usually happens with most boxers as they get older, right? They're going to gain weight. They're going to get bigger. They're going to sort of move up in divisions, and if they're a great boxer, like a Clarissa Shields, like a Terrence Crawford, like a Monster, in a way, like these fighters that can move up multiple divisions and win world championships, when you're that good,
01:17:33
Speaker
sometimes weight just doesn't matter. Now, obviously, that's harder to say in combat sports because weight does make a difference most of the time. But when you have a skilled fighter such as Terrence Crawford, sometimes you can just kind of throw the the difference out of the window sometimes if you really think that his skill is above and beyond. And when you look at Robert Garcia, the trainer of World Junior Bantamweight Champion Bam Rodriguez, he's He agreed with you, Yeo, and Skywalker, and he was saying it doesn't really matter um who he's facing, right? He needs to be able to move, and as Josh was saying, move quickly to the body.
01:18:11
Speaker
Duck out of the way. Stay out of the way of of of punches of Canelo. Ducking and moving, sticking to the body, and just trying to capture points. um You know, at the end of rounds, he said he's going to have to have the perfect fight at the beginning.
01:18:23
Speaker
In those first six rounds, he's going to have to gain those points on Canelo then because obviously as the fight goes on, right, those heavier punchers weigh on is what he said. and And as I'm looking at it, right, I'm agreeing also with what Skywalker said. When you look at Canelo's last fight especially, but the last four or five fights, honestly, it's...
01:18:42
Speaker
His activity has precipitously, yes, Clever D, precipitously decreased. um and his And he's just not as quick as he used to be. And if you still have Terrence Crawford, who is quick and canstic can stick and move and can possibly stay away from those really heavy punches,
01:19:03
Speaker
um those really heavy ah cannelo punches I want to ask you guys something too. This is what might happen in the fight. What happens when you have two high IQ fighters in the ring?
01:19:15
Speaker
What happens? Ugly. It's not a good matchup style. Somebody's going to have to press the issue. No. No. Before we made him quit. Nope.
01:19:27
Speaker
Uh-uh. The high IQ fighters are not going to want to. They're going to be very ah cautious of each other, right? Grab him and hold him. When you inside, bud, wrap his ass up. Mm-hmm. Wait till the rest of the break you up.
01:19:42
Speaker
Dude like Bavall did. Bavall got in the pocket and got out. That's cool. Bavall got in the pocket, dude. We had dude and stepped away. Canelo was against the rope, like, come on, come on. I was like, no, no, no. So you had to be interested to see who was going to be on the front foot or whatnot. think both are pretty decent countering or very good countering both of them. So...
01:20:03
Speaker
Yeah, that's going to play fact in fact. I guess that reach edge being in favor of Crawford's got to count for something. look at it And then you see him standing there. I mean, Crawford, hey, he looks like he's done about it the right way.
01:20:17
Speaker
I mean, he has three and half inch reach, as you mentioned. He can he can stick and move. He can get in there. He's put the weight on properly, as you said. And and if we look at it this way, too, gentlemen, if we think about it this way, Canelo has been basically choosing... Not basically.
01:20:31
Speaker
He has been hand-picking opponents the past at least 5, 10 fights, which he knows he's going to win most likely. um He's also in Vegas most of the time where the judges have his backer and are going to give him decisions when they can. Also...
01:20:46
Speaker
um He has ran like he did in the skull fight. Crawford, on the other hand, now this is comes into the point that you just mentioned. If Canelo does run and does hold and does try to stay away from those stick and move punches of Crawford, then Crawford won't be able to fight him like he did in Earl Spence when they were both getting in there and he was able to knock him down three times.
01:21:08
Speaker
Right? So... i Yeah, no, i I really want to go with Crawford because I think, as y'all mentioned, he did everything the right way. And he has consistently gotten better year after year after year and hasn't slowed down yet while Canelo has.
01:21:25
Speaker
The only thing that I come back to, and we'll get, yeah, I see you wanted to say something. The only thing I get back to is how is it going to be judged again in Vegas when Canelo usually has that sort of advantage, right? Go ahead. What's the biggest shit talking that Crawford's been doing to Canelo? He's been talking, to i mean, what Canelo's been telling Crawford is, is things like, who have you fought? Who's Ricky Burns? You know, who are your opponents?
01:21:51
Speaker
So a lot of people have questioned Crawford's resume. You know what I'm saying? You know, the Errol Spence fight just put him fucking, I mean, way up top. I mean, yeah, undisputed at 140, but lot of people questioned, you know, how how he got there and,
01:22:06
Speaker
He went up against some good fighters. I mean, I think that, of course, it's not like those superstars that he was fighting. But that being said, I mean, if you even compare it to history, there are always these good fighters contenders
Crawford's Resume and Career Politics
01:22:21
Speaker
in and around the weight classes or whatever. So I think he went up against a lot of good fighters contenders who were competing.
01:22:28
Speaker
at that particular time, you know, and had he been over there on the PBC side, he could have gotten a hope of the likes of the Porter Spence's and Ugas type earlier, but I think he would have showed himself to be who he is then as well, but unfortunately, when you the boxing politics got in the way, you know? My my caveat to a lot of that stuff when i I hear certain fans say that, who has Crawford fought, my caveat is also who did Canelo fight without a stipulation or where were they in their in her career, okay? You fought Amir Khan and that was at a catch weight, I believe. You fought Cotto and you were way bigger than him. You you you drain people. you You say they can only come in a fight weighing a certain amount. Like, Charlo could only be 10 pounds over
01:23:15
Speaker
when they fought. there's a lot of stipulations on who he fights, even though they're big names. I'll give him Austin Trout, I'll give him that all day. But after Mayweather, when Mayweather drained him those two pounds, since then, it's kind of like he's always dictated the rules on when he fights somebody and how he fights somebody.
01:23:30
Speaker
you know So that's always my caveat to that. Yes, they're names, but if I if i played against Magic Johnson in 93 when he had HIV, it wasn't saying Magic in 88. know what I mean? So it's like, it's just Magic Johnson.
01:23:42
Speaker
I didn't guard him. I just said, hey, the head check. not calling him alone. don't be a Shashi Shantana. You Where's Jake at? Where's Jake at, man? You know what he's saying can say it with his chest.
01:23:56
Speaker
Yeah, Jake, Jesus Christ. na good One other thing, because I was just thinking of it, and not that it's a one-for-one or necessarily apples-to-apples. I was just thinking, say Crawford, we know he's a great fighter.
01:24:10
Speaker
When you look at Canelo opponents, if Crawford was moving up, jumping these weight classes, he took on... Jack Ryder or Zach Ryder, the writer guy, John Ryder.
01:24:21
Speaker
I would pick Crawford. William Scull wouldn't we pick Crawford over William Scull even if he's jumping up over him? So maybe some of that factors in as well, you know, and it it just depends on – I think the onus is going to lie largely on Canelo to – look like his own self. yep That greatness of Canelo that ah he was able to garner, and he's going to to bring that out, I believe, in this contest.
01:24:48
Speaker
Canelo's record is not going to reflect that he tried to fight Macaboo and Cruz. Oh, Macaboo, yeah. Oh, golly. The record's not going reflect that he tried to do that.
01:24:59
Speaker
We all know that's some bullshit. They get a face-up.
01:25:06
Speaker
They did a face-off somewhere. Pasuda with a side of Pasuda. Man, they all put some of that bullshit. Well, that's that strategy stuff right there because he could have got up there and potentially could have gotten Cruiserweight title. That's strategy right there. He would have got that record. He would have got that belt for sure.
01:25:22
Speaker
That's why he was going to do it. yeah yeah challenge nobody No challenge. room mean you don give them go ahead I give him credit for the Plant fight for sure. for sure yeah you know that That was a tough fight.
01:25:38
Speaker
Plant really tried to do what he could do.
Canelo Among Mexican Legends?
01:25:41
Speaker
So I give him credit for that one. Canelo has had some great fights, man. But he yet listen, fellas, he's not Superman. We've seen this dude get beat.
01:25:50
Speaker
We've seen him get cleaned up. People act like the dude ain't, like he's unstoppable. The only thing that's unstoppable on that dude is his chin. We've never seen him being cracked.
01:26:01
Speaker
I don't think Bud could crack his chin. He was on skates when Cotto's brother fought him back in the day. That's the only time. That's the only time. Yeah, but I mean, the dude's got one of the best chances of boxing, man. That's true. I don't see the only person I could possibly see in the canvas is Bud. I hate to say that shit, but we know that that left hook is something serious. You don't know if it's going down low or it's coming up top.
01:26:27
Speaker
So, you know, like I said, grab him and hold him. Ask Charlo. He felt that hook, and then he said, i I'm going run. I'm just going to run. Charlo went and laid on the ropes. He's like, oh, okay. That's a million. That's a million. That's a million.
01:26:42
Speaker
Bud would do better than Charlo. Charlo really wasn't trying to engage much. Not at all. Very, very cautious. I feel like Bud, he's got something in him where I think that he's going to go for some things.
01:26:55
Speaker
Once he gets the range, I think, once Bud gets the range down, he's That's really going to dictate the fight. If you realize where he needs to be to kind of keep Canelo up off him and have Canelo come in, Pauls, that's going be really the how the fight's going to go. Wow, there's that one. I stayed myself. Let's get to some comments here.
01:27:19
Speaker
Jose Diaz, you're offered by decision. Holy canola. Andrew G says, shout out, Andrew G. Thank you for tuning in. Says, boring fight when you have two high IQ fighters.
01:27:32
Speaker
ah Jose Diaz says, if they have high IQ, they got to show up sometime. got to start throwing punches. Shout out Picasso. does Salute everyone. Skywalker, what it do.
01:27:43
Speaker
um Yayo comes back, says Canelo has been beaten before, isn't invincible. Says we can't act like Canelo didn't grab the cocaine belt without beating the cocaine.
01:27:56
Speaker
Sometimes I should read these comments before I put them up. God bless them. Canelo learned afterwards, Mayweather, how to conduct his fights. Picasso, Bormack. You get better, man. Yeah, definitely. back Bormack and Bob blocked the Pacquiao fight.
01:28:12
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Yeah. And then Andrew G finally says, Badu Jack killed Macaboo. So, yeah, Canelo would have destroyed him easily.
01:28:23
Speaker
I mean, do you guys give credit to Canelo if he beats Bud convincingly? like just yes so Yeah. Yeah. hundred percent 100%. Where would you rank him amongst all of the best Mexican fighters like Julio Cesar Chavez, Salvador Sanchez, you know, all of them.
01:28:40
Speaker
Not even close. He's not not even top five, fam. If we keep it around. Because they don't respect him. so top I think he's top five. i don't think... If he's not top five, Kupademi's top eight is not his short. he He's top five for me. i think I have him at three or four. Yeah, three. I'm going to do a video on the most disrespected Mexican fighter in history, so I'll say he's at...
01:29:07
Speaker
Him not fighting David Benavidez gets him some negative spot rankings. Yeah, that does, though. I agree with that. Yeah. That's a bad one. lot i mean And the people are calling for it.
01:29:18
Speaker
Even Nacho Ware says something about it yeah Yeah. He's in the running there for top five. I think he's in the running. But it's tough when you really break it down and look at things special. If you look at it on paper, individual's fault. But I think he definitely is in the running there.
01:29:36
Speaker
would have to think a little bit harder about it. But I think from an accomplishment standpoint, he that's going to help to elevate him, you know? That's going to help. You to think about it being a little bit different, you know, in terms of for some of the guys back in the day when it was just a single belt to be undisputed. in this four-belt era, you can become a unified champion and stuff a little bit differently, you know? Yeah.
01:30:00
Speaker
be evil Bevo said he wanted to touch him up at 168, too. He went down. He got that smoke. He got that smoke. like I have been picking Canelo leading up until this point, but i've I've switched my pick to Crawford. I just think Crawford's going to have it, you know?
01:30:20
Speaker
Yeah, and again, I mean, Clever D and I have talked about this fight for, going I mean, since it got announced, going on two two years, more than two years now. and anyway And everybody going along the way had agreed. It was kind of, you know, the size difference, things like that. But again, two years is a long time.
01:30:34
Speaker
And a lot of things can change. And a lot of things have changed. And I agree with i agree with Yale, um but he's not going knock him out. He's probably not even going to knock him down. If he's going to win, it's going to have to be by decision.
01:30:47
Speaker
But I'm looking at the trends. Again, I'm an analyst. I look at the numbers. I look at trends. If I see Canelo is going one way in his fights, and I see Crawford is still going the other way in his fight, well, I am only to assume that that's the way it's still going to continue. But then I have to layer in the factor of,
01:31:07
Speaker
Vegas, Mexican Independence weekend, Canelo getting all of these kind of decisions that maybe he doesn't deserve. And I am going off the cuff, and we're doing it.
01:31:17
Speaker
A draw. A straight-up draw. Just the worst shenanigans ever. Yes, money. That's exactly right. That's what I said. I said ah a car for by split or draw. You make a lot of money part. Oh, yay on that.
01:31:32
Speaker
I'm going to put some money in. I'm going to do it but it. Whatever. I'll put $10 on it. We'll see what happens. As I had mentioned, they announced who the judges were. I just don't have it off top. But they're seasoned. We got seasoned judges, the seasoned official.
01:31:47
Speaker
You know. yeah Man, hold up a second. Let me see if can find who the judges are. Watch it be like a 11th round Crawford knockout to the body on Canelo.
01:32:01
Speaker
you know how many How many fighters has Canelo fought that has come up from like two weight classes? i mean my video vin Listen no no no he fall hos houses see to Lopez.
01:32:17
Speaker
oh yeah yes hos the seat on lope yeah mi miguel miguel coda Then he fought a miracle next.
01:32:29
Speaker
Next. Not later, but next. And then you got, ah
01:32:38
Speaker
okay, the I mean, you got Mel, and then you got you got but And you mean you can't forget about, you know, we all know what Floyd did to him. Well, hold on, Yayo. How many times do you get gifted the WBA fight when you fight Liam Smith?
01:32:54
Speaker
Oh, for Shane Mosley? Wait a minute, Shane Mosley too? Yeah, he did fight Mosley. Mosley was pretty much past him. Yeah, he was done. That's what saying, the times when he fought these fighters.
01:33:05
Speaker
When he fought them, they were kind of, you know... Bro, what are we making the case for here? Are you saying this dude's one of the greatest fighters ever? And we talk about people who could have possibly been fighting at 140 135 pounds in the amateurs?
01:33:20
Speaker
You know what saying? Like, bro, that broadass shit is crazy. Yeah, it gets a bit more nuanced than the record alone when you factor in those types of things right there. will say it does. People out here are calling us monkeys and shit, and this motherfucker is out here fighting.
01:33:34
Speaker
He out here bullying little dudes. Mm-hmm. I guess the solace would be that Canelo, you know, he did start lower. I think he might have been in the low 140s or something like that.
01:33:47
Speaker
And he burst on the scene by the same token. He was 15, I believe, when he turned pro. So he's kind of grown up in the sport. and He didn't have an amateur background, so he's kind of learned on the job there in terms of working his way up here.
01:34:03
Speaker
and But no, you're right. But I definitely
01:34:12
Speaker
but i yeah don't view him as the number one Mexican fighter of all time. No, sure. I know, but some people have them there at that marker, you know. salvaddo san Angel Diaz says who's Cesar is the best. I got another guy, but I'll say it later.
01:34:30
Speaker
and have another guy but i stage one Andrew also says they haven't been in the ring for a long time, so he's seeing a little bit of ring rust here.
01:34:42
Speaker
And then Andrew G says they want to preserve the two fighters. That's right. Draw. And in that regard, I had kind of brought it up, but I think about when Sugar Ray Leonard beat Marvin Hagler, he had been out for a little bit and he came in, he had the right strategy, got in there.
01:35:02
Speaker
You know, won some of those later on. Those, they seem to be split, which I wouldn't doubt if this goes into decision, it'll be the case here. But some think that Hagler won. Some think that Leonard won. I feel that Leonard won based on me seeing him scoring it.
01:35:17
Speaker
But I can see us having a case of that, especially if it turns out to be a close fight. So how do we feel about this, Josh? I got your referees for your judges for you, excuse me.
01:35:29
Speaker
The three judges will be the same judges that were just judging the controversial. Manny Pacquiao versus Mario Barrios fight.
Fan Engagement and Community Building
01:35:41
Speaker
Oh, damn. We've got Tim Cheatham, Max DeLuca. Cheatham, Cheatham. Cheatham gone, Cheatham. Weisfeld, too.
01:35:50
Speaker
I mean, they're seasoned. They got championship pedigree in terms of their judging and all that stuff. But man, no, you're right. It was interesting. and yeah and like eat has some Motherfuckers got some garlic-infused olive oil splashed on their booty hole.
01:36:08
Speaker
Motherfuckers. Do you think that controversial decision, though, in that last fight, do you think that that might... and Do you think we might see again something fishy here, then, and because of these judges? well do What are we thinking?
01:36:23
Speaker
That is, man. The hotel's dried up, fam. I told you. I mean, i think it's going to depend on how definitive either fighter looks. If it's a close fight, I'm sure it's going to be controversial.
01:36:35
Speaker
regard Sort of like the Triple G fight, you know, but outside of the third one at least. ah It was controversial, like that first one being a draw. There were people who were definitive and adamant that Triple G won that first fight.
01:36:47
Speaker
And by that same token, the same with the second, you know. Personally speaking, you know, it's certainly tricky. I can tell you from an officiating standpoint, me I've been on the wrong side of some decisions there on the amateur side and all of that. And man, it can be tough. Like, what are they seeing or what am I not seeing, you know?
01:37:07
Speaker
Yeah, it's going to be interesting. Somebody can accept themselves apart. ah Josh, has anybody any of the boxers ever tried to fight you because they didn't like your refereeing? ah No, but I've gotten yelled at by coaches and parents and things of that nature. I feel somebody's like, yeah, they always get mad at like the referees in these things or something. Hey, man, Omar, ain't going to lie to you, fam. I fired Josh up from the stands, man. Yeah. I'd fire him up. bobby I'd be called all type of names. My baby won, man. At least in Josh's defense, he's not a little fella. So, you know, at least that's kind of, you know. If you were like a five-foot string bean, they'd be like, man, get this guy out of here. What's he doing? He's like, come out of here. Hey, somebody get this motherfucker some glasses. Yeah. Hey, it's one of those things. Hey, the winning quarter, they're going be in favor of me as a referee, but the other quarter is going to be the opposite of me, you know what saying? it all depends on which end you were on, you know?
