00:06:15
Speaker
Josh, would you mind if I – did I download the wrong one? Did you send one to me with the transparent background?
00:06:23
Speaker
Yes. Yeah, it might not have been the right. or and There might be something you have to do as far as some editing layout. like if you export if you export it as a PNG g instead of a JPEG, and they'll have a button that says transparent background. You check that, and then that's how we can have the overlay on there.
00:06:42
Speaker
Oh, yeah, yeah. Gotcha, gotcha. I did do – oh, yeah, I didn't do the transparent background, did I? Because right now it's like this. Boom! Yeah.
00:06:52
Speaker
but that I appreciate effort. It's like this right here. It's a whiteout. Okay, okay. I see you're saying. Yeah, I'll have to make those adjustments here.
00:07:03
Speaker
We'll get it right here next time around. Hey, I really appreciate your effort, brother. Thank you so much. All right, cool. All right, brothers. Well, again, we are back another week for some huge, huge fights. I mean, the next few weeks is just astounding in the amount of boxing talent that we are going to see hitting the ring. So first of all, before we actually get into the fights, we're going to give you all the fight picks.
00:07:31
Speaker
um Let's first of all just get into a a couple of bits of news. um But yes, don't worry. We're going to talk everything. We're going to talk Katie Taylor, Serrano, Amanda Serrano. We're going to talk Shakur Stevenson. We're going to talk Manny Pacquiao, Oleksandr Usyk. We're going to talk Bam Rodriguez.
00:07:49
Speaker
We're going to talk it all. We don't want to. But first, let's cut let's touch on some news here. So first of all, one of the fights that we were supposed to have coming up this weekend may be in jeopardy, Skywalker, you were telling us.
00:08:02
Speaker
Can you give us some updates on this fight that may be in jeopardy this weekend? It's a David Murrell and Katev fight. Let me... ah Yeah, Katev? Yeah, let me pull up an article. wasn't ready for that, but let me... ah oh Okay. All right. No, yeah ah did. so goldpos asking He brought it up and something we brought up.
00:08:25
Speaker
if you pop dirty for PDs and the commission, I guess was, uh, they hadn't made no move yet. Or I guess, you know, the fight from my understanding is still going on, but I heard that the fight is in jeopardy because of this.
00:08:40
Speaker
And, uh, I guess they found an adverse finding and, and, uh, Let me see if I can find the article. Okay. Something like this. I found the article right away. It's an unboxing scene.
00:08:55
Speaker
ah The fate of Russian light heavyweight Imam Katyev ability to participate in Saturday night match versus Cuba's David Morales and Limbo following decision rendered by the international testing agency over an adverse PED test result.
00:09:08
Speaker
The result from April 9th, 2024. So this is last year, April. Sample from Katia was positive for
Fight Predictions and Analysis
00:09:15
Speaker
clomiphene. The ITA report in a Wednesday statement in which it declared Katia is ineligible to compete effective June 25th until June 25th, 2027. So that's a two year suspension.
00:09:27
Speaker
um Katia 10 and 0, 9 KOs is due to fight morale 11 and 1 on the Turkey Aller Sheik financed his own stream card. from louis armstrong tennis stadium tennis stadium in new york saturday as of now it's still going but i don't know how it's all going to play out said an official connected to the valve who was unauthorized to speak publicly on the matter as the new york state athletic commission has yet to rule on the matter In its statement, the ITA said clomiphene can be used by athletes increase testosterone levels.
00:09:58
Speaker
But Katya's promoter, Eye of the Tiger Promotions, responded to the finding with its own statement, contending the fighter was tested, coming out of Ramadan fasting, describing the amount of the banned substance in Katya as minute.
00:10:12
Speaker
And the adverse finding was unexpected and deeply concerning to Imam, the promotion wrote. Imam categorically denies intentional or knowingly ingestion of any banned substances and insists that the only possible explanation for this adverse analytical finding is food food contamination. Right? and Yeah. but Basically, that's why everything that's it's a long-ass article.
00:10:36
Speaker
If you guys want to check it out, it's on credits of boxing scene. And I'll drop a link in my chat, guys. I can't i can put it in here, but I'll drop in there. I really appreciate that up update, but two years, is that's a crazy long time. Anybody got thoughts on that?
00:10:52
Speaker
It reminds me kind of what John Jones, when he when they had a cancel that UFC event and they had to move it to, I think, from Vegas to California. i don't know if it was Chael Sonnen, remember something similar like that happened in UFC.
00:11:06
Speaker
Yeah. in You know it. In soccer, Paul Pogba, he got a two-year ban on a few years back he's back now but for some kind of substance he was with man united at the time and of course we know jarell baby miller at least on this scene he's been banned multiple times for some type of ped i can't remember if he had a two-year ban but That tells you the furiousness of it, for sure.
00:11:36
Speaker
This was like a diuretic, right? one For one time. and That's how Reese got a shot, remember? Yeah. yeah during Another motherfucker cheating. Another motherfucker. This time, somebody blaming it on God.
00:11:51
Speaker
Like, this is what we do. We blaming it on God now? Like, come on now. What are we doing? Listen, bro. um What I know is is some people have have popped hot and have been able to fight.
00:12:06
Speaker
and This might be like the first time it's actually gotten stopped prior to the fight actually occurring. So if they stop it, then hats off to them. That's the right thing. But if David just want to fight them just to prove a point and give us awesome entertainment and still get the check...
00:12:23
Speaker
I'm cool with that too. But we got to drag, homie. He got to get drugged. Just like everybody else that had been cheating. They got to get drugged. We need that to walk of shame.
00:12:34
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? what you was You need to get stronger? yeah but you Well, this fight's coming up.
Boxing News and Matchup Implications
00:12:43
Speaker
What happens if this fight goes through? What would that say about whether people think that- Dirty gang. There's people who got to fight in another country.
00:12:50
Speaker
If you never that might their rule might be only to to Russia Europe and I don't know some other country that Australia or something like it may not be he may it may not be banned in America.
00:13:03
Speaker
It's possible that some things like that happens. be like Tyson Fury situation where he was banned in Europe for a minute. Conor Ben. finally came back. Conor Ben, yeah, with the eggs. You know what i mean? So it really depends on how you how how that commission, like you said, how that commission does it.
00:13:19
Speaker
It's always a food, though. Eggs, tea. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, it's always something you can ingest that may get you, but you didn't, you know, conceivably not know that it was in there just conveniently. Okay.
00:13:33
Speaker
All right. All right, cool. You know, and and maybe she had a testosterone. I mean. They put that, they put that, Hugo, that's like the juice, you know, you know, Hugo is, you know, like the, it's like your marinade for the meat.
00:13:48
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Marinate, bro.
00:13:52
Speaker
and That's how you're getting it. That's how you're getting it. Yeah, we're going get into another PED story in just a second. Let's hit these comments, though. Salute to Rodolfo. Been out here commenting. We appreciate you shouting in. Said four years for the Jarrell sentence. That was crazy. Salute to Picasso as well. Appreciate you.
00:14:08
Speaker

And as well, Andrew G as well. I wasn't sure. I mean, hey, all the he could be all this special talent. You never know. could be listening. oh Love it.
00:14:29
Speaker
and then finally And then finally, we got, let's see, Justin James. Thank you, brother. It is going to be a hell of a fight weekend. Yes, indeedy. right, cool.
00:14:40
Speaker
Let's keep it. Oh, we got one more. Yep, Rodolfo came back in. Oscar Valdez's tea excuse was hilarious. He did say tea. Yeah, that's right. I forgot about that one.
00:14:51
Speaker
Wow. Ryan Garcia said three or four different things. Oh, ashwagandha, supplements. I sucked it out of Oscar's booty. Oh, wow. Hello. oh you know Speaking of Oscar.
00:15:06
Speaker
Hold on. Don't get there yet. I'm about to get there. First, let's talk to Eddie Reynoso's story since we were talking PEDs. um What is this that you hear word about Eddie Reynoso having another fighter in his camp with this club? Yeah. what what's what's What's the youngest name?
00:15:23
Speaker
um dog i He just won. just won the He just He just beat. He just popped dirty, too. that yeah Rodriguez, I believe, is his last name.
00:15:34
Speaker
oh The dude had no answer to that left hook. and and you know it's One who beat that Griffin guy? yeah why No, he beat Yafai. Oh, Galal Yafai. Let me go to his boxer real quick. He just beat Galal Yafai.
00:15:50
Speaker
Oh, yeah, yeah. um i know what you're talking about. Yeah. It's not Francisco, is it? um It might be. I know. yeah fra Francisco Rodriguez Jr. Razorback ball. off go We got yeah there seven affiliated fighters, you know. Because he's been in the game doing his thing, you know. He's well-traveled, but that's interesting.
00:16:13
Speaker
if Especially coming off of Javier Manguia like a month ago with his his stuff. very interesting i will say i feel like the ah fbi should be doing an internal investigation about the going zone at that gym hey if that was emmanuel stewart whoo they flip everything upside down we're ah josh taylor uh shouts in i haven't heard much about demetra beevil lately what you think about this new goat I think it was pulling that fight.
00:16:43
Speaker
That fight was supposed to in November, actually. is what I was hearing there. Might be on a Turkey Alashish if he wants a trilogy with Bivol and Better BF. I haven't heard anything either.
00:16:55
Speaker
But, you know, there's also Caleb Smith sitting out there who had a good performance over Joshua Boatze in terms of getting that win.
Historical Impact of PEDs in Boxing
00:17:05
Speaker
But we'll see, you know. But it seems like a trilogy might be...
00:17:09
Speaker
what's likely. but It's beefing because he wanted Benavidez to kind of wait and let them do the trilogy, but the WBC just said, yank, me that belt and gave it to David Benavidez. So that's why he's fighting yard now. I figured David Benavidez, since he's used to waiting for that belt, he could just let them finish this and then get the winner. but I think the term goat is being ah used a little too loosely.
00:17:34
Speaker
i was greatestus of all I thought I thought he was being sarcastic too. I was like, I don't know. I hope so. We're a little loose with that. Another way X-Act. I don't know where he'd go. Josh is being sarcastic for sure.
00:17:51
Speaker
Cool. I'm a Josh as well. yeah Wait, would did that actually happen? I don't think that actually happened. Has that actually happened? That doesn't actually happen.
00:18:04
Speaker
Someone is, that actually hasn't happened. Someone has- No, because i was stand i saying the joke saying- No, no, no, no. That's what I thought. okay, okay. Okay, so maybe they think you were being serious. Okay, got it, got it.
00:18:15
Speaker
I was like, that didn't actually happen, right? Like, oh my God, how crazy would that be? how you think day was one around yeah You go down to perform some fellatio, all of a sudden you ah coming up looking looking like Brock Lesnar. Hell, we're having a bump on you having a bump on your bicep.
00:18:32
Speaker
ah like
00:18:36
Speaker
Shut up, Gray Fox. Gray Fox. What's going on there, buddy? We appreciate you as always. Thoughts on Manny's issue about PEDs? This comes from Jose Mename.
00:18:48
Speaker
What's his issue? I do not know. I haven't heard. You got to clarify, sir. ah Thank you, Jose. Clarify. for floyd creating a Are talking about back then?
00:19:00
Speaker
Yeah. Well, he admitted to it i believe uh when he was running for senator he came out to cause it with a lot of stuff you know but i think now is he's he's he's already the og man i don't know i hadn't heard don't tell me man if you all got caught leaving out the back of tyler perry house bro i can't No, he wasn't saying that. He's talking about PED. This is like three years ago, four years ago, something came out.
00:19:29
Speaker
Oh, we better be sure of that. He didn't get those text messages. don't know. Hey, he didn't pop on the catch, so I don't know. We got two more. And Katia right now are are two current ones right now.
00:19:43
Speaker
Mm-hmm. So ah let's get into one more story before we talk about the biggest news of the day, what happened at that press conference. ah What about this November 17th? We got a bunch of huge bouts that are possibly being signed. Tell us more about that, Liberty.
00:19:58
Speaker
Yeah, we got Benavidez defending his WBC, you can say internet champion or whatever, but he's going against Anthony Yard. um That's going to be good one. That might be good one. You got Haney versus Norman, which what popped off today. going to make that fight even way better.
00:20:12
Speaker
ah You got Abdullah Mason against Sam Noakes for the um fake and WBO belt at that Keyshawn lost because he couldn't make weight and refused to fight people outside the ring. but um And then you got, they already signed Ben Rodriguez against ah Fernando Martinez.
00:20:26
Speaker
which is kind of weird because band fights next week, but. Right. You know. They're confident of a win. Yeah, pretty much. Putting a heart. Anybody got thoughts on that?
00:20:39
Speaker
Go ahead. Those are good fights. Those are good fights, decent fights. I know there's some other ones on there. I thought that card, as it's shaping up, it should be pretty solid. Benavidez Yard, very interesting. I like Benavidez, but I think Yard will put up.
00:20:53
Speaker
somewhat of a fight there. It'll be interesting to see if it lasts the distance. I'm thinking not, but time will tell. Now, Norman Haney, of course, we know there's a video floating out there of a little skirmish between the two teams and things of that nature. But that being said, what I also took away from that video is Haney is bigger than Norman. He's huge.
00:21:18
Speaker
Crazy. Oh, wow. He's like, when I saw him face to face, like Haney was like, you know, I was like, whoa. I don't know. So that makes things interesting right there. So you have to wonder, okay, Haney boiling down to 135 at one point, now 140. But 147 seems like it's not going to be an issue whatsoever weight-wise.
00:21:39
Speaker
So it makes things interesting. I'm going to have to think about that one for sure.
00:21:44
Speaker
Well, I mean, it seems like there's no federal agency. They ain't got enough employees to to to make sure people ain't cheating.
00:21:54
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? Like, what's going on here? All these people are just getting away with drugging, and it's just crazy, bro. um I think that night's going to be full of walk them down.
00:22:06
Speaker
It's going to be a whole lot of walking them down. so let's go I can't wait, bro. I love it. I can't wait. Walking them down.
00:22:15
Speaker
Says, ah Bam is fighting everyone. I don't even think he's 25 yet. Yeah, sir he's that dude. He's that dude. Hey, man, it seems like people with a whole lot of vowels in their name get caught cheating.
00:22:29
Speaker
You got a lot of vowels in your name. I
00:22:33
Speaker
o i don't i i don' even know what that means, but it just sounds funny. i know what it means. Let's go again.
00:22:44
Speaker
I see what old Jose is mentioned there. Oh, a lot of vowels. Say it a lot. A lot of vowels.
00:22:55
Speaker
So Jose says Terrence on some podcasts leaning on Manny taking PEDs but didn't say it literally. Seven division world champion, right? Eight. Eight division. That's not – I mean, we'll probably never see that again. so Sam Lankford did it back in the day.
00:23:11
Speaker
He rose up through the ranks, but he was a little bit bigger than Manny Pacquiao. But the difference is Sam Lankford, when he went up, he took his power with him very different. Now, as it relates to Pacquiao, he did start out in a pretty small weight class. I think Doug Fisher made a good point.
00:23:26
Speaker
of having seen him back in the day and he was basically starving himself and he was he was smaller than when he first started out and some of that was attributed to just he was a poor condition that he's trying to come up from a poor situation now then got to think of he's rising through those lakes and on that on weight and things of that nature it gradually moved up it wasn't an overnight shift you know the gradual thing that being said i mean you can't put any anything past anyone but until i see proof
00:24:00
Speaker
i can't say it for certain ah It's hard for me to say. I mean, there's a lot of stuff with his fights. Like when he fought Cotto, that was at what, 144? He kind of drained Cotto for that fight um and and got him up out of there. And then when he fought De La Hoya, De La Hoya was... He had to take they saw the IV stuff in his in his ah in his arm, the mark. So they knew he was drained also.
00:24:23
Speaker
So, I mean... I don't know. he didn't like he didn't he He wasn't really knocking guys out like that at 147 and 152. when fifty two you know When he fought more Margarito, i think it was at 152 or something like that. And he sat one time on his behind.
00:24:43
Speaker
but okay Yeah. He did. One time. Ricky Hatton. But the way he one time backed up out of there with his hands down. learn Yeah. Sat him down. The hairline went further back. Yeah.
00:24:56
Speaker
So I don't know, but I remember when it you know this was the discussion when Manny Pacquiao was there in his prime and did the whole, I don't want to do a blood test type thing. So I don't know. It's crazy.
00:25:07
Speaker
Mayweather changed the game with the whole ah Olympic ah testing and everything. they weren't really testing like that until Mayweather and Pacquiao. you know And people need to pay more attention to Mayweather's A-side game.
00:25:20
Speaker
you don't You don't let somebody go and put puts you as a champion as a disadvantage. Like, what you mean we shrinking the ring? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Learn to cut off.
00:25:31
Speaker
Hey, you go. Before we move into the ah the huge news from today, the press conference with promoter Oscar De La Hoya, let's give a shout-out to promoter Jimmy Adams watching right now on Instagram.

Oscar De La Hoya and Berlanga started going at it after Berlanga, which I didn't know when he turned into Bad Bunny Light or something, because I don't remember him running around with Louie bags and a tattoo on his neck the last time I saw him. But whatever, we all grow and we all grow to evolve. So he started trying to treat Oscar like a stripper, as we all know from Oscar's past. um I don't even know. i want to start. Poppy, you're the one laughing the most. I want to start with you on this. No, don't get to me lately, bro. I can't. You're too much of me right now.
00:26:48
Speaker
pi clever deal let's start with you what happened today? Long story short, i mean Berlanga, he was doing his best to ah belittle Hamzad and then he just went at Oscar. i mean Even Shakur told me he shut the hell up. He threw a wig, a bra, a belt, a thong, started throwing money in there, told him to strip for him.
00:27:09
Speaker
i the Lord have mercy. What got me was Oscar's rebuttal. you know that The fake jury is hilarious. and Trust me, I love that. the but When did Puerto Ricans need a passport?
00:27:21
Speaker
How are you calling a fake Puerto Rican? Never. i say ask for like I don't know what the fuck Oscar Del Hoya is talking about, sir. We are American citizens, sir.
00:27:32
Speaker
we are american citizen shirt yeah he just hilarious you lot this he might be right my this is getting deported people are losing they're all paper he might be right that's a good point as it yeah he might be right i'm still gonna put on everything that got thrown at him gonna put it on <unk> he he said like you said i don we He said, I got one on for you right now. i'm like, whoa. bob He said it was 15 years ago. Who cares? I changed. I got money.
00:28:11
Speaker
You got some fishnet draws on right now. o Skywalker, what you think about Oscar and his performance today? Oh, it was wild, man. Oscar was starting his shit, too. He he started with Berlanga. had his jeweler come in, a world-renowned jeweler, tested Berlanga's The ice was fake. Wait for real? That's great. That's tremendous. And then he started throwing the fishnets at Oscar and and throwing the money and shit. Yeah.
00:28:42
Speaker
though there's another video of Eddie Hearn just picking up the money and making the stack for himself, bro. He's like, I don't know. Don't get done. ah promoter some extra money huh so eddie hern was was picking up the money was just wild man they really sold the show on this event if if you're gonna be stupid enough uh to throw your money around at a press conference where there's a bunch of people that all they want is money in their pockets well you know you're not getting that money back is that right josh am i am i right about that
00:29:15
Speaker
i would say so you know and i usually don't watch the press conferences but i just so happen to tune in to this one so i tune into some here and there and typically when i tune in it's at the right time and i do it at the right time because i found it to be pretty darn entertaining there that think that uh The term new money, that's Edgar Belanga all day right there. That's Mr. New Money right there. you know come want to Come iced out, all that good stuff and doing all that and everything. But I can say that he was doing some pretty funny stuff there. When Shiraz was trying to talk, he was playing this Jurassic Park.
00:29:53
Speaker
theme music or whatever, just drowning it out. I'm just like, it's crazy. That was a wild press conference, I will say, just from all French there. So I was entertained, I will say.
00:30:04
Speaker
I was entertained, and it's going to pique my interest even more here as we get towards these fights. And I'm sure if we had Jimmy on the program, he would say, being a promoter is all about entertaining and putting on a show. That is the whole point of being the promoter. You want to put on the best show and the best entertainment that you possibly can.
00:30:26
Speaker
So there you go. And Picasso, thank you for shouting that out. As Rich James once said, ah cocaine is a hell of a drug. So, you know, don't want to just leave it at that. hey They got to slow down on the fashion stuff, though. Like, ain't nobody trying to see no boxer in there with no furry Uggs on.
00:30:44
Speaker
Yeah. He's going too far. That's funny. Oh, man. right. other comments on that crazy press conference today? All right.
00:30:54
Speaker
Oscar been trolling, old boy. No, yeah. the ju Rodolfo, I didn't know. what thank you that is Oscar De La Hoya's social media to see that post, but he he brought in a jeweler and everything. He made up he made a real...
00:31:08
Speaker
a little while ago. yeah He made a whole reel about it? That's petty as shit. A lot of cats begin finesse to these jewelry stores from these big-looking jewelers. Let's go to T-Moo and get a chain. You know what I'm saying? Let's go to T-Moo and get you a chain.
00:31:24
Speaker
Nobody care. I still got some T-Moo meat-stained jegging. we Oh, man. Oh, Ew.
00:31:38
Speaker
and don't i know i what One of the largest diamond companies in the world. And I'm here test your diamonds. I hope they're real. Hey, your jewelry is as fake as your wins.
00:31:50
Speaker
Fake jewelry. Fake jewelry. Fake jewelry. Come on, man. Fake jewelry. You let the dude check his jewelry, too. That's crazy. I didn't know. I heard him at the press conference, but I didn't know he actually checked his actual jewelry.
00:32:08
Speaker
That's wild. All right. Jose, what are your thoughts on Thurman versus Spence? They can fight now at 154 since Spence is inactive. And you also, you know, Thurman is fighting once a year. They have unfinished business. Anyone want to take this one?
00:32:22
Speaker
Is it 2017? Exactly. Like this is the reason why pbc is aware it's at because they let ah Thurman not fight him. He said, I'm not to fight him. And they could have three fights and had, you know, way many views and and and and ah had a good trilogy or whatever.
00:32:39
Speaker
No one cares. This might might as well be on a USA.
00:32:45
Speaker
I got it. Anyone else? I got to say that I had a presentation. I did it my job. The, as I was at at the time, that had this little thing like share your passion. So I did a presentation on boxing. I was talking about officiating, then just boxing history and what's going on now.
00:33:01
Speaker
That had a little list there in terms of my pound for pound guys or whatnot. But basically I thought in 2017, the number one welterweight was Keith Thurman.
00:33:13
Speaker
And that was the same year that Spence went over there and beat Kell Brook. Right? So yeah that fight We're so many years removed from it now that it's like, I don't know, pulling on a string that just kind of takes you back and we don't get the best of what each of them have to offer. A lot of inner activity in between that, their past, well, you could argue past their prime, you know what I'm saying? Age-wise, it seems that that's the case, but it just doesn't have that same little,
00:33:48
Speaker
saying well
00:33:51
Speaker
mustard or fervor that it had at that particular time. Now, I'd watch it, but that being said, hard to say what we're going to get because it's, I don't know if it's in two years now, something like that. It's July 2023.
00:34:06
Speaker
Yeah. July 2023. And then we know Thurman over the past five years, he might have 40 fights or something like three, four fights maybe. So very interesting, but I wouldn't watch it, you know, but I wouldn't expect anything spectacular.
00:34:22
Speaker
Would you pay to watch it? i will I'm expecting something spectacular. Like I always say about Earl, that mouthpiece coming out. Matter of fact, we might have both of them outpiece come out at some point. First round.
00:34:35
Speaker
It's coming out, that mouthpiece, them teeth can't hold a mouthpiece in. They're not secured the right. Hey man, hey man, hey man.
00:34:47
Speaker
All right, cool. Word. Awesome. All right, well then, everybody, please make sure, again, you tap in with everybody on this panel. We are about to go into our fight predictions for the next two weeks. You're going to get two weeks of predictions on one show.
00:35:01
Speaker
um But, again, please make sure you tap in with everybody. I'll put a banner at the bottom you can go subscribe to everybody's YouTube channels and Papi Chuan Yeo on Instagram. So please support everybody on this panel.
00:35:15
Speaker
Work. Let's move it into this weekend. We're going to save my girl for last for the weekend. So we'll start first with, do you want to, you know, we'll start, you want to just do the full girl's card first by itself and then move into the men? Is that what you want to do? Ladies first. Ladies first. Okay.
00:35:34
Speaker
Perfect. Let's do that then. All right. I'm to start from the bottom up on your fight pick sheet. So everybody, if you're in the boxing champs group and you're watching this now, we are going off the fights off that list.
00:35:45
Speaker
So if you're looking at the women's card, I'm going to be going from the bottom up. Cool. So the first one is Chantel Cameron, 20-1, 8 KOs versus Jessica Kamara, 14-4-1 with 3 KOs. This is 10 rounds for the interim WBC junior welterweight title. Josh, start us off here. What do you think on this bout?
00:36:08
Speaker
So I think this is actually a pretty decent matchup, actually. I know both of the fighters there, Chantel Cameron, her only loss has come to Katie Taylor. Kamara, she's lost a four times as mentioned there, but I followed her for a good bit and the thing that stood out for me in a title shot against Kelly Reese, shout out to Kelly Reese.
00:36:29
Speaker
I thought that Camara edged it. It was a very close fight, but ultimately it went to Kelly Reese. So no shame there. could have gone either way. But Jessica Camara, she's been on her game and really dialed in.
00:36:42
Speaker
That being said, I think that Chantel Cameron, she has pretty good size there for the weight. And she was the first to beat Katie Taylor.
00:36:54
Speaker
She lost that second fight, of course, as we know. But that being said, ah think she's still on top of her game. Likely she'll come through in this one. So I am picking Chantel Cameron via decision. But I expect Jessica Kamara to pick up a or to put up a good fight because she is solid and indeed she does have some good competition on her resume. and She has fought for a world title. So expecting something good. But Chantel Cameron, I'm going with a unanimous decision. All right, cool.
00:37:30
Speaker
Yeah, yo. Well, um this is going to be my only only fight that I pick a stoppage for during the girls' fights.
00:37:42
Speaker
I'm taking Cameron by KO9. All right. Cameron KO9. Skywalker, what you got on this fight? oh I'm going to go with Chantelle Cameron by split decision in a close fight.
00:37:59
Speaker
I believe, you know, she's she showed that she's been up there with Katie Taylor. So she's at that skill set. Even in the rematch, it was a close fight. That's true. Good point.
00:38:11
Speaker
Yeah. So you're talking about women greatness. Chantelle Cameron's right right at that level. So, yeah. Split decision. Yeah, Chantel, I mean, when she beat Katie Taylor in Ireland, I was actually supposed to be Amanda Serrano, but it was supposed be the rematch. Oh, that's right.
00:38:28
Speaker
Yes, that's right. She shocked the world, but I got her in a split decision ah winning on Friday, tomorrow. Okay, and I'm going to complete the... I was about to say something really pause-worthy. I'm going to complete the five-fecta ah instead of something else I was about to say. was about to say a five... so must say a five Oh, wow. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a second now.
00:38:53
Speaker
i I'm going to complete the five picks here. I'm going with Cameron. Majority decision. As Josh said, and as Skywalker said, the way that she put up a fight against Katie Taylor ah was just enough to convince me that she should be able to take care of Kamara by majority decision. All right, Cole, moving it forward. Jessica McCaskill was really good and and and was honor her like doing really good on her on the rise, and she kind of put a halt to that.
00:39:22
Speaker
You know what I mean? Stylistically, I would say McCaskill, she had a very raw style that wasn't necessarily the skill set in that way from a technical standpoint, but she threw a lot of punches, come forward, charge in there.
00:39:36
Speaker
Kamara, she could actually box. She has a skill set and technique me on her side, but – Still, same thing to fly, though. Yeah. Okay, cool. Awesome.
00:39:47
Speaker
Next fight up, Cherneka Johnson, 7-KOs versus Metcalf, with two this is ten rounds as well for All the gold, the IBF, the WBA, a the WBC, and the WBO bantamweight titles. So we'll swing it back around the horn. Clubber D, we'll start with you. Who you got in this one? I'm going with Metcalf by
00:40:15
Speaker
split decision. hey Okay. Skywalker? No way to fight. It's okay. It doesn't have to be for all of them. There's a lot of fights. There is a lot fights. I got a question for everybody. Has chicken ever been stopped? before no i can look it up. Of course.
00:40:33
Speaker
Yeah. She's been stopped before. She has.
00:40:37
Speaker
Do you know? I don't. Let me look. I definitely recall looking at the record. She's been stopped. Oh, yeah? yeah Yeah. Sugar Needs is a a come forward, aggressive. She's an aggressive fighter. She's she's pretty tough. I've seen her fight through nasty-ass cut.
00:40:56
Speaker
But I've also seen her get beat by by an older lady, too. You know what saying? Oof. um older lady. It sounds funny. Well, yes. She lost to a also that Cougar. but chill after see have any degree them grit so jane know know She lost
00:41:21
Speaker
Shanae O'Connor? No, she lost. She lost to the old lady. Shanae O'Connor, she's the i see know shaelcon of few
00:41:34
Speaker
yeah I can't find if she's been stopped or not. I don't think she's been stopped. Serena Metcalf? She has lost. i oh um nieeks by ah i got I got Sugar Neeks by a split decision.
00:41:52
Speaker
Okay. All right. Cool. Yale? I got Johnson by split decision. All right, Josh. So I will say this. I follow Trenika Johnson on Instagram. that She puts in that work, holding it down. Insider information. Yeah, Australia is what it is, right? But that being said, man, I thought that she lost that first fight to Nina Hughes, but she came back, redeemed herself. and it see Well, she won the first fight as well on the cards. was a majority decision, but I thought Nina Hughes did the better of the work.
00:42:27
Speaker
just from my vantage point, but I wasn't scoring it, but she righted the ship in a more definitive way this last time out, and i think she, I do like her stylistically and all that stuff, but I feel like Metcalf, she's long, lanky, she can box, she's probably going to be working behind that jab, so I'm going split decision, Metcalf, shout out to In the Ring with Christine, I know who works with her there,
00:42:51
Speaker
as far as training. the off She might be her manager or something that nature as well. So I'm going with Metcalf. Hopefully it's a good fight and it should be stylistically speaking.
00:43:04
Speaker
All right. You're the only one going with Metcalf. So the outlier here, I am going to go with Johnson in a majority decision here. So no insight.
00:43:15
Speaker
I like that. in website All right. Moving on to the next bout. Josh, we're coming right back to you. Savannah Marshall 13-1, 10 KOs versus Shadasia Green 15-1. I like that name. That's a badass name. 15-1 with 11 KOs, 10 rounds for the ring, IBF, and WBO super middleweight titles. Who you got in this one?
00:43:39
Speaker
Hey, you know what? I should have wore my Savannah Marshall hoodie. It's downstairs. I didn't put it on. I would have put that on because I'm rocking with Savannah Marshall, no doubt. I think that she has the power. She has the length.
00:43:53
Speaker
Green, I think some of it was kind of smoke and mirrors as far as that start in the competition she was going against and getting some of those stoppages that she's got. But I think French on crew showed that there are some levels for sure. And I think that Savannah Marshall is a level above.
00:44:13
Speaker
Now, Green has redeemed herself since they lost the French on Cruz, but I don't know if she's done enough to be able to overcome Marshall. If she does, I will be surprised. i will say i will be surprised. So I got Savannah Marshall via unanimous decision.
00:44:32
Speaker
All right, cool. Yayo, what you got? Hey, man, I'm pretty sure it's Shadasha. Some reason y'all be overpronouncing the vowels. Shadasha. What did I say? Shadasha? Shadasha. Well, I mean, I gave it little Puerto Rican flair. What you want from me? I love being a herd. What are they R's around this building?
00:45:00
Speaker
yeah oh That's a beautiful day. Josh fired in this room.
00:45:13
Speaker
No, man, listen, man. i'm I'm with Josh on this one. um I just think there are definitely levels. and I believe Savannah Marshall has, I mean, she has some incredible experience. And I think she's, she's ah I think I got her by split decision.
00:45:27
Speaker
Like I said, i'm not picking anybody else by stoppage because, you know, i get burned there. So I'm taking Marshall swift decision. All right, before we move on to Skywalker, we got to give a shout-out to our brother, the one who runs the whole Boxing Picks group, does say an amazing job every week, keeping scoring, making sure our fights are put in, hitting us up when we forget.
00:45:51
Speaker
I mean, come on, champ, you put in so much work. We appreciate you, that Yale men's work. That was early in the time. It sounds early. ah So if anybody actually wants to get in this group, let any of us know.
00:46:06
Speaker
you yeah You're watching us on on one of these channels, so please let us know. It is a boxing picks group. It's very easy. You don't have to be a boxing expert. It's just picking the fights. It's to have fun. It's free, and you can win some money.
00:46:19
Speaker
So hit us up to get in Champ Ross's boxing picks fight group. All right, holla, champ. Thank you for tuning in, brother. ah Picasso, let me catch up on some comments. My opinion on Spence is he's a body snatcher style, but he needs to be quick on the jabs and build up to the attacks on the body.
00:46:35
Speaker
ah Follows that up with, I know a guy that gets hit in the face a lot, but he knows how to set up a vicious attack to the body, and he did it to me when were playing around in the gym. Pause. wowzers Wow, Wow, brother. I don't know you want to say that out loud, my friend. Let me go to gym over there. Oh, come on now. Come on.
00:46:55
Speaker
You'll be doing that jujitsu. What type of gym is that? That's the same thing. We can stay away from that gym. What's the name of that gym to stay away from? They all got jokes.
00:47:09
Speaker
It's like Diddy Ranch on a dude at the gym. You tapped out by the Punisher. The Punisher. um yeah Did you see his outfit, fam?
00:47:22
Speaker
It looked like he was wearing that joint that the a really the dude machine wore on the movie 8mm. Bro. I haven't seen any of the videos. they read me wild ah I'm to have to go now and watch the videos now. i Damn it. why the one ah Yeah, please post the link, champ. We appreciate it. So everybody can join that if they want to.
00:47:47
Speaker
All right, cool. I don't know what – okay. I mean, we're just messing around with you anyways, Picasso. It's okay. You may just want to word things a little differently. you know If y'all want, check the link. It's in the chat there on YouTube. I'm not sure which one Champ is watching on. I'm assuming it's Skywalk.
00:48:07
Speaker
All right, cool. All right, let's keep it moving. Skywalker, what is your prediction on Shadeja, right? Isn't that what it is? I still think it's a badass name, whether you pronounce it that way or the other way. Shadeja Green versus Savannah Marshall. What you got?
00:48:25
Speaker
um I agree with Josh. Shadeja Green's got a lot of power, but I think she lacks in the skill department a little bit. oh Cruz Duzern kind exposed that.
00:48:36
Speaker
oh I think that that ah Savannah Marshall with her amateur pedigree and her experience, her resume, I think she's going to get the job done. going to go Marshall decision.
00:48:48
Speaker
Okay. Nice. Okay. All right. Clever Well, Savannah Marshall and Carissa Shields probably put on one of the best fights that year when they fought. Oh, yeah. Certainly. When they sold out that arena overseas. She's a great fighter. And like you said, Josh and Poppy and Skywalker, you know, she's...
00:49:08
Speaker
just She's better on just about almost every level. I think she'll be able to neutralize the power of Shadesha. However, in our in our group chat, I'm going with the upset Shadesha by split decision.
00:49:22
Speaker
I'm going to go knockout. Well, there you go. If I went to Deja, it would be by KO because she got that power, bro. She got that power. I think that power might be a little bit overrated because Savannah Marshall, she can get stoppages as well. If you look at her record, the amount stoppages she has, she has an awkward style. She trades with Huey Fury, I know, but maybe John Fury, maybe there's some involvement there.
00:49:47
Speaker
And she knows how to use that jab. And she knows how to shoulder there, throw that jab right there. She's longer than her, too. She got that gypsy style. Oh, yeah. Heavy on the egg weights. ta she just and she's just And she's just like in general, as you mentioned when you were talking at the beginning, Josh, she's just very stocky as well, Marshall is. Andrew G says, easy work.
00:50:13
Speaker
Marshall Champ Ross says, green fights like three minutes round fighter, not enough to activity for two minutes. Does she fight? Oh, she fights like. I got you now. Sorry. You need an S on there. You need an S on there.
00:50:31
Speaker
She's like a female Francois Bozva. Okay. you Got it. All right, cool. Well, I'm going to go with ah Savannah Marshall here. i do you No matter how badass I think Sadeja's name is, what it is, i i don't I've only heard of Savannah Marshall being really a pitchover just dominant. Yeah.
00:50:51
Speaker
and so Okay. I believe you. i'm going with so i'm maybe I'm not getting in trouble. i'm like Savannah Marshall by split decision. Let's keep it moving. All right.
00:51:02
Speaker
Ellie Scottney versus Yamalith Mercado. Ellie Scottney is undefeated, 10-0, zero KOs. Mercado 24-3 with five chaos Cover to you. This is coming to you. This is 10 rounds for the ring. IBF WBC and WBO. Jeez Louise.
00:51:20
Speaker
All these belts are on the line on this card. ah Junior featherweight titles. Go ahead. I don't see that on the list. Oh yeah. got, I got, I got a Scottie by a majority decision.
00:51:31
Speaker
All right, cool. Scott Walker. Scottie by decision. All right. Yale. Scottie majority decision.
00:51:43
Speaker
All right. Josh, I hope you give me some analysis because one of y'all recommended this fight, and I'm going to look real stupid. Yeah, I did. Now, Mikado is very solid. I'm trying to remember if she's the one who beat Ramallah Ali last time she was out. I believe that might have been the case.
00:52:01
Speaker
But that being said, Ellie Scottney, she doesn't have power. i believe she doesn't have any knockouts in her victories, but she is a world champion. Now, she can box fairly well, so she has a good bit of everything except for that pop, that punch. you know I think Mercado will put up a fight, but I do think Scottney will ultimately win the decision as well. and i would think it's probably going to be more on the unanimous side.
00:52:27
Speaker
Yeah, 10-0, like you said, Josh, with no KOs. What that tells me, if if i'm just not even if even if I didn't know boxing, just looking at the record, that tells me she's an excellent fighter at staying away from getting hit and knowing how to box and score points in order to get the decision every time out because she's probably a little lightweight on the on the actual power. Now, I don't know that to be the case, but she has zero KOs in 10 wins, so I'm just putting logic together. Okay, cool.
00:52:51
Speaker
Thank you for that. We're going to come right back to you, Josh, on this one. Alicia Baumgartner, 7 KOs versus Jennifer Miranda, undefeated, 12-0, but with 1 KO, so another kind of ah lightweight good fighter. 10 rounds for, again, the IBF, the IBO, the WBA, the WBC, the WBO junior lightweight titles.
00:53:18
Speaker
Josh, you got this? Oh, yeah. And this is one where I don't know Miranda. i remember when I saw the name. i don't think I've seen her. But, of course, I do know what. Alicia Baumgartner brings to the table. In my pick, I went with Baumgartner via decision.
00:53:35
Speaker
I'll go split decision. But that being said, Alicia, we know that she can get it done and stop things early, given the right situation. But it'll be interesting to see what Miranda brings to the table.
00:53:48
Speaker
But I got Baumgartner's split decision. All right. yeaho Yeah, man, I feel like I ain't never been the same since I heard that shit that A.B. said about that whole situation.
00:54:00
Speaker
Oh, I forgot about that. But I think it was a little bit too soon for her to be going there and getting knockouts, you know, after the situations and stuff like that. So I feel like she's just going go in there and just to get some work. um I would probably take her by, i mean, if i if it was real world, I'd say unanimous decision. But for the boxing league, I'm taking her by split decision.
00:54:23
Speaker
right All right. Yes, because in the boxing league, which I found out after weeks of just doing unanimous decision, he's like, Chample's like, yeah, you can, you know, just majority. I was like, yeah, but then why wouldn't you have another one? Extra bonus for unanimous in case it wasn't. don't know. It was funny. It's more common.
00:54:39
Speaker
It's more common. All right. um This card might be four to five hours. If it all goes to decisions, y'all be ready to get to see some cheeks. Cheat some cheeks ah and get some cheeks. Maybe you want to invite some cheeks over and tell her, hey, well let's watch some women's boxing.
00:54:53
Speaker
Maybe she'll like you more for that. That's like an aphrodisiac. um Picasso says Alicia popped before. yeah Andrew G says snack.
00:55:04
Speaker
I don't know if you're referring to some one of the ladies on this card. Snack. It's Amy and Crawford and all them. Victor Conti. I'm just messing around with you. I thought he was ah okay. yeah and Rodolfo says, are any of the women's fights going to be three minutes? Does anyone know?
00:55:23
Speaker
No. Three minute rounds? Nope. Okay. And also, Rodolfo says, yeah. Okay. Yeah. I think we talked about that before last time and they didn't agree.
00:55:36
Speaker
I mean, this is crazy, although so far, looking at all these fights we talked about, the main fight, um all of the fights below it, they are all going with at least three belts each for the top five fights. and The top two have five belts each.
00:55:51
Speaker
So you're looking at almost 20 plus belts being defended on this card. That's that's crazy. live go walk and what hey and i I do want to just say, I think it's a shame that it took Jake Paul to make something like this happen. Now, i will say that I did see a good while back.
00:56:11
Speaker
I can't remember if this was two years ago or what, but Lou DiBella, he was talking about doing a women's tournament, and he said he just needed, believe, a million dollars, a billion or two million, something of that tune.
00:56:26
Speaker
But that being said, it's a shame that we couldn't have gotten here with a promoter who is even more seasoned in the game. But respect to Jake Paul for coming in, finding where there's a gap in doing what he does. Jose with an apropos question.
00:56:46
Speaker
Oh, sorry. Yeah. Jose with an apropos question here. Uh, and I, I don't know if he means in an actual fight, but, um, in terms of actual, you know, uh, as a promoter, uh, we all know Bob Arum is a legendary promoter, right? We all know he's one of the best ever, but Jake Paul has accomplished a lot in his, in his first few years, uh, a hell of a lot.
00:57:08
Speaker
Um, um, Could we see him having a legacy such as Bob Arum if he were to continue to do this, you know, the rest of his life as successfully as he has so far? No. No, Cumberney? You don't think so? i Fight a Muhammad Ali, fight a Mayweather. No, it's not happening.
00:57:22
Speaker
I mean, you're not going to find those. It's, no. Man, hell. Hell, that is Where's the puppet? OK, I need the puppet for you. You got to stop saying that dude's name amongst real, legit boxing. Yeah, you know. Like, he don't belong. He doesn't belong in the, like, his name shouldn't even be mentioned yeah around legends like Bob Arum. And if you want to say my man is like the WWE-style entertainment king, because he is putting the cheeks in the seats.
00:57:55
Speaker
So you gotta give him his credit for selling these arenas out, but he's selling it out in a weird way. It's it's off, it's awkward, the energy's wrong. You know what I'm saying? It's like, how are you the host of every event and everywhere you go, and all everybody does is boo you?
00:58:10
Speaker
You don't belong in the conversation, but however, and Unfortunately, you got to get a Mickey Ficky some credit, man, because he he is putting the women on and he's doing and um this is a black eye for boxing. Like they making this feel like a participation awards fight.
00:58:29
Speaker
Like, how are you? How is there 20 belts on the line in the first three or four fights? How? Like, where has that ever happened before? That's like, those are the first challenges. It's showing issue with women's boxing. It's finally getting on a level where it's getting more competitive. it's kind of like women's college basketball. we' No one cared it was like the Elite Eight, but now,
00:58:48
Speaker
There's some teams, better more better, there's better schools. So it's like, okay, maybe I'll watch the Sweet 16 and things like that. So they're finally trying to show, get more girls off their off their butts in the box, you know? So it's, I see the good in Jake Paul, what he's trying, but he's doing it, like you said, in the villain role, where people just tuning in to see him lose, but he's still showcasing, you know, like Tyson would showcase Christy Martin or something like that. So it's.
00:59:12
Speaker
He's setting up nursing home scraps. Yeah. Pretty much. Hey, well, I will say, yeah, that Jake Paul, Bob Arum question from a promotional standpoint is like apples to oranges. You know, Bob Arum, legend in the game, has done some of the biggest cards, period, and is still one of the top promoters. But what I will say is Jake Paul...
00:59:35
Speaker
He seems to do it right in terms of getting these cars together. And I think some of that he's works with another guy. I can't think his name. So it's not just him by himself. And he does have a means for which he can carve a path as one who pushed women's boxing to a level that's even higher than it had been previously if he keeps this up because getting them on the likes of a Netflix where all it takes is a subscription i don't know what the cheapest one is maybe like 10 or something like that I think that is a game changer in some sense and that helps put more eyes on them so people can see okay we do have these elite women out here doing their thing in And that Netflix thing didn't work out too well when they were streaming.
01:00:20
Speaker
It shut down a whole bunch. And going to tell you what what that that one dude and Mr. Bob Arum got in common. They both pirates. are They stole it. Jake Paul stole boxing from the real boxing fans. And Bob Arum stole top rank from Muhammad Ali.
01:00:38
Speaker
I'm going to set the record straight. Most of y'all who was watching Ali fight when he was growing up didn't like him because he didn't go to Vietnam. So I'm going to keep it real all the time. That's true. Yeah, he became more popular in the aftermath of his career, especially after that 96 Olympics. think it was Atlanta when he lit the torch right there. People hadn't seen him in a good long time. I think it was 96, right? Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, that is true. But he was sort of a villainized individual when he was competing there for sure. But he put on hell of a –
01:01:12
Speaker
fight on a number and then you see the corny stuff where they try to make nico ali like oh they keep saying muhammad ali's name does a familiarization he needs to go join you need to go join the old boy with him that's nico walsh ali wash walsh yeah all right nico a lot of people from here from top rank do a lot of cloud chasing Yeah, you're never going to hear a disagreement from me on the type of person that Jake Paul is. And, yes, I agree with you all. He's not ever – should never be mentioned with legends, but we do have to give respect for what he has done so far for the women. Sure.
01:01:49
Speaker
um So thank you, Gray Fox. Yes, he has. And then Champ Ross says, only girls missing from this card, Shields and Fundora. Hopefully they can jump on the next one. right, Skywalker, let us not bore you over there. Come back and give us your fight picks since you're about to fall asleep. Okay. I was waiting, man.
01:02:05
Speaker
I know. I'm i'm just messing with you. Um, this, this girl from Spain. Uh, I don't, I don't know any of her opponents. I was checking on her box wreck and, uh, bum gardener has been tested.
01:02:18
Speaker
Yeah. She had a real good fight against mayor. I guess remember that was a great female fight. Uh, But, yeah, I just got Bumgarner by stoppage, actually. I think she's going use those muscles and get a stoppage, I'd say, round seven.
01:02:35
Speaker
Yeah, there you go. right. Cover D. Scott Walker, how dare you? I got – Bumgarner round six. One up you. ah Another stoppage. There you go.
01:02:47
Speaker
All right. Well, i I did not know the girl either, Scott Walker, who Miranda was. So I only know Bumgarner. And I just went off the fact of how how how well i know how good of a fighter I know she is. But I did see the undefeated record of the other girl.
01:03:03
Speaker
The other girl is 38. She's 38 years old, the other girl. Yeah. Oh, i did' not i say I didn't know that. that's that's a little ah Yeah, she might get knocked out then. I don't know, because Bumgarner only has seven KOs, so it's only half the time that she knocks somebody out.
01:03:16
Speaker
Miranda, by the way, oh she looks like more of a pace-herself-stay-away fighter, too. So I'm going to go majority decision, Bumgarner, but y'all almost got me to go KO because I started thinking of stoppage, but I'll go majority decision. I see Bumgarner make a girl get stuck in time. I think it was that was it Harper where she fought. She hit her. Yeah, yeah, Gary Harper. That's fucked.
01:03:36
Speaker
and I like Terry. Homie, he got the you got the Bomb Garter dancing videos on loop. ah you but Make a boomerang out the button.
01:03:49
Speaker
ah Ball Brothers and Dana White learned how to be the villain from the Mayweather gym. Dana White's good promoter, too. yeah On the UFC side. Very good promoter.
01:04:00
Speaker
I like he's doing with Canelo Carr, too. He's letting Canelo and Crawford do all we're talking instead of so He's boxing like Eddie Hearn did all the talk at press conferences. Man, all them dudes are just real good at running plantations.
01:04:14
Speaker
Yeah, pretty much. we had We had Al Hamer, but Al Hamer don't want to be in the spotlight. So, God King was the coach. He was the one for us.
01:04:26
Speaker
Yayo always bringing us back down to earth for sure. All right, let's move into the main event of Friday night. Is ah is alicia still is Alicia still trying to fight Clarissa?
01:04:39
Speaker
No. Does anyone know? No. weight the weight difference is uh pretty dramatic and now with clarissa at heavy weight uh definitely not gonna happen come to a certain weight and lisa said nope not gonna happen and she got past as a ghost writer if she needed she a boy up i run That's crazy. That's crazy. All right, cool. Let's move it into the main event of the weekend.
01:05:07
Speaker
The number three fight, the trilogy of these main event. Ladies, this has been such a good trilogy. I have loved every single minute of it.
01:05:17
Speaker
First of all, you know, I'm not going to go away from my girl. i don't care. I'm going to be biased all the time with my girl. wherep by whip byp but boy i qua Amanda said, I know, baby, even though i can't roll the R's on her name, 47-3-1 with 31 KOs versus Katie Taylor, 24-1, 6 KOs for the IBF, IBO, WBA, WBC, WBO Junior Welterweight Championships of the World.
01:05:53
Speaker
Clubber D, we are starting with you. Who do you have in this huge? The first fight I had Amanda, split decision loss. Second fight I had Amanda, I don't know. Was it split decision or she just lost?
01:06:07
Speaker
it was just straight up, you know, have decision. you don't remember. There was lot headbutting and a big cut kind of calls. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a decision. I think it was split decision. You know, yeah.
01:06:19
Speaker
i I'm going to stick with my guns on this one. I just hope she doesn't gas early. Amanda Serrano, split decision win.
01:06:29
Speaker
yeah Let's go. All right. Amanda Serrano, split decision. Skywalker, who you got? fight can stay clean. Credit to both these women. They're they're equal you know as far as you know skills. One of the best matchups ever made in women's boxing.
01:06:47
Speaker
and Shout out to both of them. going to go for Amanda Serrano on this one by majority decision. Amanda Serrano. All right. Yayo. I wanted to see if I could get the image up, but i don't know. Go ahead. Yeah, yeah yeah man. Yeah.
01:07:05
Speaker
a I didn't enjoy every single moment of that ah other other fight, that if we being honest, man. This beluga whale, forehead-haven girl, all she did was headbutt bone.
01:07:17
Speaker
Beluga? Yeah, so you know what? I got to tell Champ Ross to switch it up, man. It just came to me. I think the fight is going to be stopped. Amanda Serrano is going to have a cut so big on her that she's not going to be able to continue.
01:07:32
Speaker
I'm going with a technical majority draw. So, Raul, she's going to rub that Salzone. Yeah, I'm saying the fight's going be stopped early. It's going to to the cards because until they – she ain't never learn how to do nothing else but run her head into people.
01:07:51
Speaker
And asking me, she should have about four losses. She lost to Serrano both times. She lost – they be just robbing people, bro. Like, for what? You know what saying? Amanda Serrano, if you compare her record, okay? to Katie Taylor's record. They have done some legendary stuff for women's boxing when you start talking about Olympians. And the first one to win three or four different weight classes. So I just feel like Toronto's legacy has been tainted because of the fights with Beluga Whale, Forehand, Heaven-Ass Girl, Katie Taylor. And I think it's gonna get stopped early if you drop.
01:08:29
Speaker
Okay, is is it is it me or is there an echo? Get little feedback. Get a little feedback. ya yo Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're getting some feedback there, bro. It was like a second second you talking.
01:08:40
Speaker
Okay. The Blue Whale got you. Yeah, check your mic. The Blue Whale got you. Oh, man. All right, Josh, who you got on this one?
01:08:52
Speaker
Hey, so I thought that Katie Taylor edged it out in that first fight. Damn good fight. Second fight, I thought Amanda Serrano got it by here. This third fight, I got Amanda Serrano via stoppage.
01:09:06
Speaker
Seventh round, I feel like Amanda Serrano had her right there on the cusp in the first fight. Second fight, we didn't really see it as much. I feel like she's going to get the job done this time around.
01:09:18
Speaker
and we'll see how that wear and tear has affected either of them really or both of them but i got i'm going i'm going to be the outlier because i got and i think this is what i said to chant ross as well seventh round stoppage amanda serrano All right. Seventh round stoppage. Amanda Serrano. I will now take that off and so I can give my pick real quick.
01:09:39
Speaker
um Yeah. No. ah Look, when you're looking at Serrano and Taylor, they are going to put up a an amazing battle that is going to, in my eyes, at least as we've seen in the first two fights,
01:09:52
Speaker
I come down to the end. I thought that Serrano could have got her out of there, both fights at some points in those fights. um But I just see how tough Taylor is and just how much she's not going to give up and how much she can take punishment wise without giving in and without getting knocked out.
01:10:09
Speaker
um So as much as I love my girl, Amanda, and as much as I am going to still pick her to win, No doubt about it. Don't think I'm picking Taylor because I'm not. Don't get it twisted. But I'm going with Serrano by split decision. I think it will come down to a, you know, the the the the main, the the grind. It will come down to those last few championship rounds, as they call them.
01:10:32
Speaker
Cool. All
Safety Concerns in Boxing
01:10:34
Speaker
right. So y'all go make sure you put that in your fan duels. Champ Ross says, I hope Serrano wins it. ah Picasso says third time's a charm. So there you go. Another one for Serrano. um So there you go.
01:10:46
Speaker
so but So what's that? Serrano going to need a safety helmet in that fight. I mean, look, we saw how big and nasty that cut was last time after the headbutt, so there's no doubt about that whatsoever. All she got to do rub some mafungo top her forehead, make sure she got that plantaino strong and put that in there and pow, take anything.
01:11:12
Speaker
one All right, so Skywalker, I know you've got to be out of here soon, so and I'm going to try. 15 minutes? Yeah. ah We're going to have to skip a couple of these fights then.
01:11:24
Speaker
Just get his picks straight up. Yeah, yeah that the yeah. When I when i leave, you can just me. Just ask you the rest of it Okay, all right, cool. Well, let's go ahead really quick.
Fight Predictions: Morrell-Kaitiev
01:11:34
Speaker
If this Morel-Kaitiev fight is going to happen, um who are your picks for this fight? Just really quick around the horn. Josh, start with you.
01:11:43
Speaker
Got Morrell via split decision. All right. Scott Walker. I got Morrell. ah K.O.
01:11:55
Speaker
Round eight. All right. Clubber D. Morrell. Something around K.O. Got you again, Scott Walker. All right. Yeah, yo.
01:12:07
Speaker
Morrell. I'm taking him by majority of the decision. He don't need to go to the hospital, obviously, to do strong. He's been cheating.
01:12:15
Speaker
even too in well can take I think Morel will be able to take them punches because, you know, he took them from from David Benavidez. But he's going to have a headache at the end of that, bro.
01:12:31
Speaker
All right. Yeah, I'm giving it to you as – pause. Wow. I'm going to – but wow there
01:12:41
Speaker
I'm going to agree with you. Don't laugh at me. Don't make me laugh. but you good Hey, bro, he got that invitation he got that invitation from Diddy. You know, they got the wax on it, and it's sealed and stamped for the next Diddy party, the first one out. He got a VIP.
01:13:01
Speaker
Omar going to show up in a Goya suit, boy. tell you. He's going to be in the next Madea play. wow Holy moly. Oh, my God. All right.
01:13:15
Speaker
the oh These two are heavy hitters, yo. They're going lay it on each other. Oh, damn it. Not again. Why is this happening to me? Morrell KO. All right, just whatever. Morrell KO. I don't even care what round.
01:13:27
Speaker
Let's keep it moving. Moving on to a next fight, another Boricua. We got two more on the card here. I'm about to cry. Alberto Puello, Oh, wait. Did I not get somebody's pick?
01:13:39
Speaker
My bad, yo. Did get your pick? I apologize.
01:13:45
Speaker
Yeah. I got his pick? Okay, cool. All right. but I thought I forgot it. Okay, cool.
Puello vs. Matias: Prediction Debate
01:13:49
Speaker
So Alberto Puello, 24-0, undefeated, 10 KOs versus the Boricua Subril Matias, 22-2. 22 KOs, all of his wins by knockout. 12 rounds for the WBC junior welterweight title. Yayo, we coming right back at you.
01:14:08
Speaker
Yeah, man, this is going to be, this is my favorite fight of the night, if we're going keeping it real. Honestly, man, I was super impressed with Puello. I believe he fought one of the Russell brothers, and he put a master class on against a master boxing family, you understand? so you got to give Puello his, got to give him his dues, man.
01:14:32
Speaker
Honestly, i don't want to pick against a guy, but i I'm taking Matias. And I'm taking Matias by – going to take him KO10. Because, I mean, it's something different with him.
01:14:49
Speaker
some It's something different with him. He's got heavy hands, and he throws a lot of punches, and they're it's ah it could be too much. And he'll take him, too, to give him. So I just think Matias is going to do his thing.
01:15:00
Speaker
But, listen, man, that doesn' I don't want to take credit away from Pueyo. he's He's a great fighter, and he could probably get another belt. All right, Cubbordy. This was for that WBC that ah when Haney was in rec ah recession, whatever it is, Quayle,
01:15:18
Speaker
um you know, he's an ex-pet offender. He did... ah did beat Gary Anton. um I got him winning by a majority decision. i feel like Paro, the Paro fight when a Supremo T is lost, kind of exposed him fighting a fighter on that level.
01:15:35
Speaker
And I think Puello would beat Paro. So I'm going on a majority decision. All right. Skywalker. oh It's going to a good fight. Credits of Puello. He's a good fighter. Technical. Technical.
01:15:52
Speaker
Subriel just does damage, man. like He just, his volume, he likes to break down fighters, goes to the body a lot. oh I'm going to go Matias KO6.
01:16:06
Speaker
I just think he's still returning. He's got that momentum. Ever since he lost to Liam Paro, he just had a ah recent fight, so and he got a stoppage in that fight. So I think he's going to continue his boogeyman. He's the cocoy, you know? He's the boogeyman Puerto Rico.
01:16:24
Speaker
Not to be confused with the coqui, the country's main animal, wrong the he National Harbor.
01:16:37
Speaker
Oh, yeah. I was national har much oh yeah that here too a see clubanin up I was there for Lomachenko, too. And Darrell.
01:16:57
Speaker
Oh, yeah. was there for that one. Hey, look, bro. We got to keep it real, though. he's ah He's a black Puerto Rican, ain't Mm-hmm. Yeah. I mean. Huh? He a black Puerto Rican? Wait. I'm going to tell I'm going to keep it real every time. He's a black Puerto Rican. That's why yeah he ain't get the same love as all the other ones got. Like Tego Cabrera. He didn't get that out that tour like Berlinga got after he lost to Canelo. He didn't get that that that that tour in Puerto Rico like Berlinga. Afro-Latino.
01:17:26
Speaker
Kind of like Trinidad. guess it depends you who you grew up with. Josh, who you got in that fight? Because i grew I grew up with three of the darker ones, and I was the one that was singled out all the time.
01:17:37
Speaker
Josh, what you got? Hey, I got – well, I think it's an interesting fight on paper. I do think it's a very interesting fight. But I do think that – Puello can account for himself enough defensively to pull off a decision. I'm going to go split decision. Puello.
01:17:58
Speaker
All right. Split decision. Puello. I'm not going to go to go against my Puerto Rican brother. He has obviously lost twice. But as was mentioned, 22 wins, 22 KOs. If you're going to stand in there and tell me that you're going to take that kind of heavy punching all fight long and not want to just give up, I just don't believe you.
01:18:17
Speaker
I'm sorry. So I got KO7 for Matias. Yeah, you can stay out of the way long enough, but yeah if you get caught, you're still going to be hurting. Now, Matias versus ah Gary Antoine Russell. They're not losing.
01:18:29
Speaker
They're losing. They're losing. Russell will stand everything and and win that fight. So that's why I'm leaning towards him. They could run it back. Yeah, I would love it. I would love it. back Unified. yeah All right. Well, let's move it into the co-main event on this card.
01:18:47
Speaker
um And, ah Josh, we're coming right back at you. ah my Another boy, Iqwa here, Edgar Berlanga, the aforementioned. We talked about the press conference.
01:18:58
Speaker
Is that the main event? Oh, Stevenson is the? Yeah. Oh, wow. Okay. Well, we're coming still. Okay. Well, never mind. He's happy. He's happy. Shakur, he's a black hat. watery because yeah Okay, well, there you go. He's the Afro, let you know. um We'll start with that one then. Let's go with Stevenson then.
Shakur Stevenson: Defensive Skills Spotlight
01:19:13
Speaker
Josh, Shakur Stevenson is 23-0 with 11 KOs fighting William Zepeda, 33-0, both undefeated fighters here, 27 KOs for Zepeda, 12 rounds for the WBC lightweight title.
01:19:27
Speaker
Who you got, Josh? They're about to put respect on the name of Shakira Stevenson. I forget what I said to champ wrong, but I believe it was eighth round stoppage.
01:19:39
Speaker
He's getting it done. No more this talk. Shakur is getting it done just to shut people up. And even if the ring is small, he's still a defensive enough fighter that if he wanted to sit in there and play around with him, he could.
01:19:52
Speaker
So I got Shakur. Eighth round stoppage. It's over. And just because I have the same exact picked as you and I have nothing to add, I am going with that as well. TKO eight for Shakur. Skywalker, what you got?
01:20:04
Speaker
As much as I, you know, want to go for Raza, you know, William Cappella, my, you know, I think he's a good fighter, but he didn't really convince me with the Tevin Farmer fight. with The Tevin Farmer fight, he kind of struggled with Tevin Farmer.
01:20:18
Speaker
Tevin Farmer, you know credit to him, he's a veteran, but he's a lot older. you would expect you know the kind of performance that Kit Austin recently just had with Tevin Farmer, got him out of there in one round.
01:20:30
Speaker
Dojo. you know If Cepeda would have like just ran through Tevin Farmer and then maybe beat someone else and then he's fighting Shakur, I'd be going for Cepeda. I'd be like, man, i think he can do it you know based off of Shakur's last performances, which were you know a lot of people thought were boring.
01:20:50
Speaker
ah you know he was running. um I've seen Shakur whoop ass. you know I've seen him even with Oscar Valdez. That was a good-ass fight. you know He didn't get the stoppage, but he ended up dropping Valdez and messing him up.
01:21:02
Speaker
He was real aggressive. I kind of feel like that's that's going to happen in this fight because stylistically, El Camarron is going to come forward and want to fight in the pocket.
01:21:13
Speaker
so going to say Shakur's stoppage, man. I'm going to agree, but I'm going to go way later. I'm going to say round 11.
01:21:23
Speaker
Yeah, I think you could take it, bro. Most Mexicans are tough, man. It's a lot to knock out a Mexican, I'll tell you that. TKO 11. All right, let's go. Clubity, what you got? hello Did it again, Scott Walker.
01:21:37
Speaker
it like this. they ah they They try to test Zepeda with a Farmer to see if he can fight somebody similar to Shakur for that lateral movement. and he'd looked I wasn't a fan the way he looked.
01:21:48
Speaker
I thought he lost the first fight. But I see why they didn't want to fight Shakur until now. But I had Shakur round 10 stoppage. One before you again. one round. yes i mean Yeah, see? It's the third fight in row.
01:22:00
Speaker
here There you go. Papi, what you got? It's a setup. Y'all don't see it? It's a setup, bro. It is a setup. For those of you who don't know, the smallest ah ring that professional fighters could fight in is 16 by 16.
01:22:18
Speaker
Papi called, I called him the Telemundo rings. um we've seen We've seen Foster go and fight in the Telemundo ring and almost, they almost got him. He gave him a last second stoppage and he was able to escape out of the dungeon with his belt.
01:22:34
Speaker
They didn't set this boy up. My man's gonna throw a hundred punches around if he can catch him. um But ultimately I just think Shakur has better feet. um He definitely has better class.
01:22:46
Speaker
But I'm only taking him by majority decision because I think they they're setting him up to fail. So they're giving they giving everybody else all the advantages. Like, when have you ever seen that? Like, oh, this dude got a 45-inch vertical, so we're going to lower the rim to eight feet?
01:23:02
Speaker
Right? Like, that's what they're doing. So it's bogus. And, yeah, I'm taking Shakur by majority decision. All right, Shakur by majority decision. Yeah, they actually had, we there was a po picture posted in the group the other day about the shrinking ring idea that was apparently proposed. That's crazy.
01:23:22
Speaker
I mean, first of all, how much money would you have to put into a ring to be able to do that? Because the hydraulics would have to move in and you'd have to like go off the road. Oh, did you forget about the first turkey show? Didn't they have a ring? A ring came up out the ground, bro.
01:23:34
Speaker
They built the whole city in six months. Them Africans built that whole city in six months. Let that sink in. let that sink they could I don't think that's shrinking ring. That's just a gimmick.
01:23:49
Speaker
The ring came up out there. You see that three d show they put on? They not playing? That was in Ghanu Fury, right? ain't playing.
01:23:59
Speaker
But I will say real quick is that some of the larger gyms, they usually have one of the larger rings, maybe a 20 by 20. And some will have a smaller ring, some even smaller than 16 by 16, depending on the size of the overall gym.
01:24:14
Speaker
So I think that Shakur will be prepared either way. uh but that being said yeah it could make a difference that ringside in terms of helping zapata get to him a little bit quicker or not having to cover as much distance but an elite defensive fighter i think is still going to be all right yeah we've seen people get touched up in a small ring and he was doing what he do It's true. All Well, Skywalker, we know you got to get out of here, so I'm put you last on this one because we're going to get your prediction on this and then all your other predictions to get you out of here. So going to start with you first, Yayo, on this one.
01:24:50
Speaker
The main event, which I didn't know, if I looked at those records, Stevenson and Zepeda, I'm thinking that's the main event. You got two undefeated fighters that are both well-named fighters. I just assumed that was the main event. So apparently this is, which I'm not mad. He's Puerto Rican, so I can't be mad at that. Edgar Berlanga, 23-1, 18 KOs versus Hamza Shiraz, 21-0 undefeated with 17
Berlanga vs. Shiraz: Opinions Divided
01:25:12
Speaker
KOs.
01:25:12
Speaker
So these two dudes are throwing, ah you know, just very, very heavy, heavy punches that are looking to knock you out very quickly. What you got on this, Yayo?
01:25:24
Speaker
um much like the rest of the world we drank the kool-aid um on hamza i really do think that you know he was he was he's a skilled fighter and you know his fight with uh i think it was ammo with emma williams yeah his fight with ammo really it showed that he had some skills but then the next guy he fought it was like he didn't show up and it was like what happened you You had some trouble with the weight cut or something like that.
01:25:50
Speaker
So um ultimately, I think Hamza, he got a big old chink in his armor, and I think it has to do with confidence. And I believe Berlanga is the right guy to find out if he still has his confidence.
01:26:04
Speaker
Right. So I'm taking, I not think Berlanga is going to get back to his old ways. You know what saying? know Fat Joe can't walk him out the ring no more because we packed him up. So, but I'm going to still ride with Berlanga for KO6.
01:26:19
Speaker
Hey, well, before we go to Clubber D, I'm just going to ride your coattails KO5, baby. What you got, Clubber D? i'm I'm opposite. I got I think Berlanga is doing too much. I think he's the last person he fought worked at Jiffy Lube after he left UPS.
01:26:36
Speaker
Shiraz is a taller guy. I like to see him at this nice kind of field out. I think ah all these antics that Berlanga is doing with against De La Hoya and everybody else. I got Shiraz winning by decision.
01:26:48
Speaker
Wow. All right. Well, Josh, what you got on this one? Hey Ernest, you said that Berlega is going to get back to what he do. you do What is he really? He had that little first round knockout streak against people he was expected to beat.
01:27:02
Speaker
They've done some work on him. I will give him that. He hung in there with Canelo at least ah and put up a decent enough fight or whatnot. But that being said, I'm still not sold. And I think that hims on Shiraz, even though he's moving up, he's going to feel a lot better at 168 and he's getting the job done. I got Shiraz via stoppage. I'm to ninth round.
01:27:25
Speaker
Ninth round TKO. Skywalker, what you got? ah got Shiraz by decision.
Rapid Fire Predictions with Skywalker
01:27:31
Speaker
I think I want to you know just kind piggyback off what Ernest was saying, talking about confidence, but I think that there's a thing called overconfidence, and that's what Berlanga's got that over with, the fake jewelry, throwing the money. I think all that shit that's going on in his head, he should be focusing on the fight.
01:27:48
Speaker
So i' I'm going to go to Raw's decision. all right, and since you're getting out of here, we want to get all the big fight picks from you, so I'm just going to give you the ah the big four fights that are coming up, and you go ahead and just give us your thoughts and your picks for each of these fights. I got to get out of here.
01:28:05
Speaker
All right, let's go. Manny Pacquiao, Mario Barrios, who you got? Got Barrios by decision. All right, Sebastian Fundora versus Tim Zhu, who you got?
01:28:18
Speaker
I got Fundora. I'm... Stoppage, 10th round. All right. Alexander Usyk, Daniel Dubois for the heavyweight title. Who you got?
01:28:29
Speaker
ah ah Alexander Usyk by decision. okay And then finally, you got Jesse Bam Rodriguez versus, I don't want to ruin his name, Fumilele.
01:28:40
Speaker
Cafu. Hey, that was actually pretty good. Cafu, yeah. i don't get I don't got Cafu, but i got the pound for pound. I'll let you guys talk about if Jesse Bam Rodriguez is the pound for pound of top five fighter in the world.
01:28:54
Speaker
And he's got amazing skills, and he's going to stop Cafu in round seven. All right. Well, good luck with your interview, brother. We appreciate you coming on. Everybody make sure, again, you tap in with Scott Walker Boxing Media.
01:29:08
Speaker
Scott Walker Boxale, we really appreciate you, our brother. Appreciate you guys. Thank you, man. Everybody follow everybody. I'm leaving. My channel's still live, but much love to everybody. Peace. Yeah, everybody watching you on Scott Walker Boxing Media, we would love you to stay for the next 15 minutes. We're going to go through these big, huge main events and give our picks.
01:29:28
Speaker
Let's get to some comments real quick. Picasso says, tightening up the ring only means we're fighting in a cell. They might as well put some bump beds in a toilet. That's funny. ah Jose says, two rings, one larger, one small. They go hop in alternating rounds, like some WWE w type stuff.
01:29:47
Speaker
um Picasso also says, if you can't cut off a smaller ring, that's going to speak volumes. true. It's true. We saw that just last week. It was a little bitty ring, and there were some people who were supposed to win. They couldn't cut the ring off. That's right. At all.
01:30:04
Speaker
So it could happen. Okay. Well, there you go. And then let's see. What else we got here? Okay, cool. But now we can go. We got four.
01:30:15
Speaker
Bounce into this mode. Let me get me back up here so I got this order going on right. Let's see if I can get this up. And... Nope, maybe not.
01:30:26
Speaker
I tried. All right, I tried. if i was go I don't care if my head gets cut off. I just want y'all to be right. Oh, well, we tried. right, cool. Let's move it on. We're going to give you these main event picks. So first of all, um let's start with you, Yeo, on this one.
01:30:39
Speaker
Sebastian Fundora versus Tim Zhu. 12 rounds for Fundora's WBC WBO o junior middleweight titles. ah This is the 19th, so not this weekend, but the following weekend. Who do you got?
01:30:54
Speaker
It's Groundhog's Day all over again. just think Fandora is he's too much from the outside. um he just He throws out a lot of punches. He's rangy. I just think that Tim's going to come in. He's going to have his heart in the right place. He's going to talk that Spartan shit like, you would all you'll be ah I can't remember old boy's name, but he's going to talk that Spartan shit. He's going to be about his business.
01:31:17
Speaker
He's coming in. He's got a whole country behind him. But I just think Fundora is a little bit too much for the majority of the fighters in the division with his height and reach and his activity. So I'm taking Fundora by majority decision.
01:31:33
Speaker
All right. Josh, what you got on this? So I've long been a fan of Fendora. I think he's cleaned up a good deal here in this sort
Fundora: A Unique Fighter Profile
01:31:43
Speaker
of latter portion of what's been happening with him career wise, because he was very much a unicorn given his size height wise, at least, and then how he fought.
01:31:56
Speaker
previously, which was pretty much on the inside digging in. He didn't care about distance or whatnot, but he had cleaned up things a good deal. i for one, don't think the zoo matchup was a fluke in terms of who won because I was going with Fendora in the beginning.
01:32:13
Speaker
Anyway, and I think that he's going to get it done. i got split decisions. Sebastian, the towering inferno fedora. And I have a video on my channel, of a full animated video of him because i as I mentioned, he's a unicorn.
01:32:26
Speaker
Just his look and overall. So... Wait, is that really his his nickname? The Towering Inferno? yeah That is sick. He's tall for that weight class. like pt He got a giraffe build.
01:32:39
Speaker
Your man with his sister. Yeah. He's a beast with it, too. His sister ain't no joke. okay That's great. Cover D, who you got in this?
01:32:50
Speaker
I'm actually ah different. I'm going with ah Tim Zhu. I'm a big fan of Fundora. The only reason I side-eye a little bit is because the Lubin fight, he felt like his something was in his gloves.
01:33:03
Speaker
And in a press conference, you usually don't see fighters... with their gloves on after the fight. He's going to just take them right off. And he had them, Fondora had those gloves on, you know, in the press conference after the fight. So, or post whatever it's called. But ah ever since then, I kind of looked at him sideways, but I know he, whatever.
01:33:22
Speaker
But I feel like that cut played a factor in the first fight. I think that Tim Zhu, he looked good knocking out, ah I forgot the dude's name, in Australia just to get his confidence back.
01:33:33
Speaker
And I think i think Tim Zhu's going to win by decision. All right. guys Is that split decision? Majority decision? just majority decision. won't think it would be split. Unanimous. All right. So Tim's a majority decision.
01:33:45
Speaker
All right. Cool. And then... um hi I had my picks, but somehow I deleted them well on my notes. So let me just go real quick to see what I posted ah on Champ Ross's.
01:33:57
Speaker
But yeah, so here I'm pretty sure, what did i get? Swindora or? It ain't out yet. It's next week. Oh, duh. Duh. Duh. Neck like shit. That's a neck. Woo. All right. Well, I'm just going to act like that didn't happen. That's why I might just change it next week.
01:34:17
Speaker
I'm going with the Towering Inferno because that's a dope nickname. So Sebastian Fendor for me. And that is subject to be changed because going to go actually look at their records and fix my different afterwards. I'm not sure. All right. That's funny. I forgot it was a different week. All right. Same week, even though I'm the one that said 19th like a dummy.
01:34:36
Speaker
Manny Pacquiao versus Mario Barrios. Josh, we'll start with you on this one.
Pacquiao vs. Barrios: Experience vs. Youth
01:34:41
Speaker
12 rounds for Mario Barrios' WBC welterweight title. Who you got in this match?
01:34:47
Speaker
Now, I have been a bit torn on this one. Of course, Prime Pacquiao, no question. It wouldn't even be much of a debate. We have 140 or 147. That being said, he has been out for a good bit, even though he has done an exhibition or two.
01:35:04
Speaker
And he's 46. Barrios has decent size for the weight. He's fairly durable, especially showed that against Abel Sanchez. But that being said, I didn't think Abel Sanchez had a chance against Barrios coming into that contest. So that showed me there are some vulnerabilities there.
01:35:22
Speaker
So I'm going to go with Manny Pacquiao. split decision um because he's probably forgotten more than Barrios has ever learned in the sport.
01:35:36
Speaker
Yeah, no, you're not. You're definitely not wrong about that. Clever D, who you got in this? ah Before, i just think this a trap, not traps. It's just this fight shouldn't happen. Yeah. I saw the the expedition expedition exhibition with the kickboxer Romain Pacquiao had, and looked like what I picked up from my dog earlier.
01:35:54
Speaker
um And I feel like Barrios will get him up out of there. ah I'm going to go seventh round KO, Barrios. seventh round kill for Barrios. Yeah. um ah Again, again i was not prepared for these picks, even though I knew we were doing this show. I don't know why I thought this was this week and I already had the picks out there because they clearly weren't.
01:36:14
Speaker
um But again, look, I like Barrios. He puts up some tough fights. I've seen him in a a few good fights over the past few years. But I don't know. It just seems to me it doesn't matter how old Pacquiao is. I kind of agree with Josh. Like, he knows so much boxing.
01:36:30
Speaker
And even at his age, it's not like his fitness is not there. He can still, I'm sure, move around. I'm still still sure he's still working out every day. um Yeah, I just think he's not that old that he can't get the victory. Again, subject to change because I'm going to into this further. But I got Manny Pacquiao over Mario Barrios based on what I know from their both of their paths.
01:36:52
Speaker
Gray Fox says I got Pacquiao as well. And Jose as well says Pacquiao. 11. Stoppage. So there you go. All right. Let's move it into the final fight of the evening.
01:37:03
Speaker
Yayo. Oh, shit. Hey, listen, man. Hey, you almost did right because, to be honest, I don't even – thank you, people of the Philippines, for supporting Manny Pac-Man and donating your money to whoever this promoter is. I'm sure they want to thank you too. Mm-hmm.
01:37:19
Speaker
um Mario Barrios, it seemed like he'd been a sacrificial lamb anyway. They they they they put him on the plate for Tank, you know what I'm saying, 140. All this stuff, the peopleep all this PBC field stuff, like this is what that stuff feels like. and It's like...
01:37:36
Speaker
I feel like we got away from that for a while. You know what saying? We've been spoiled with real boxing lately, but i don't know, man. i don't want to I don't want to pick that fight because I don't believe that Manny should be coming in and cutting the line. there There's other 147 pounders that have weighted their op for opportunities for titles, and y'all are passing my fuck around like a joint, bro. you see I'm not with it, so i can honestly man I'm just, I gotta take, I don't know.
01:38:08
Speaker
What are they trying to I gotta go Barrios, man. I gotta with Barrios. Maybe they're trying pad his record or something. don't know. That makes no sense. I'll take i take Barrios by somehow. by somehow i not I thought you really weren't going pick like the last time you there was one fight you didn't pick. and in the in in the picks, I just put, I just pick, fuck this shit. Or something like that. Mike versus Jay Paul, man. Oh, yeah, it's what it was. It's disrespectful. It is. wrong.
01:38:40
Speaker
hundred percent is all right Cool. um Well, oh, you know what? I almost forgot. Let's go back around the horn real quick before we get to the heavyweight fight. We're going to do that last.
01:38:50
Speaker
Jesse Bam Rodriguez. I'm sure most of you got Bam. I don't expect anything different. Everybody Bam? Bam, Bam, Bam. you Any thoughts on that fight at all? or Actually, just give me your pick so I can write it down. How about that?
01:39:04
Speaker
Stoppage before sticks. That's what I'll say. Okay. All right. Yeah, I'm going KO4.
01:39:12
Speaker
I go with, ah I can't remember what I put for champ, but I'm going to go seventh round stoppage, and I do think Bam is pound for pound. Mm-hmm. Pound for pound what?
01:39:22
Speaker
He's in my top five. Top 10 in the world. Okay. Definitely top 10. Top 10? Okay. Top five? He might be five. All right. let's Hey, here we go. if You've been waiting on the show. Let's argue it out. What we got? put him at five.
01:39:40
Speaker
let I got to think about it because I got Osyk, Crawford, Inouye. What were the reasons? You were about to talk about your reasons before the show. What were you talking about? Osyk, Crawford, Inouye. Oh, just what he's accomplished at his age.
01:39:53
Speaker
Moving up. I'm trying to think of my top five right now. I still put Canelo in front of him, I believe. Canelo. Oh, yeah. Y'all bugging, bro. I can't. We got Bud Crow there.
01:40:05
Speaker
We got Inouye. We got Yusick. As I said, Bud Monster. got Bevo. We got Better Beef. Like, this dude is not top five. I can't put Better Beef. I can't put Better Yeah, don't have him top five. You can't kick him out of the – you cannot kick any of those people out to put Bam Well, if two people fight that are in the top five and one loses, then he's dropping down. This is going to happen. It's automatic. Well, then Canelo got catapulted out of that. I don't have – Canelo not in my top. He's no. He's not even – Beevil and Canelo fought, didn't they?
01:40:33
Speaker
Yeah, and that's why I like how they have Canelo in the top 10 over Beevil. Matter of fact, Canelo lost to everybody that was on the pound for pound list higher than Usa. They didn't have Charlo on the pound for pound list when he was undisputed. That's why i can't stand their list.
01:40:46
Speaker
So for me, I'll have, in no order, Bud, Monster, Usyk, Beevil, Bam. Bam over Better Beef?
01:40:57
Speaker
Yep. Are you wild? Yep, sure will. level hes Level of competition? I mean, it wasn't... In a way, you don't got... Besides Bevo, who all on that high, high level did better be a beat?
01:41:11
Speaker
Did you forget to put the monster in there? Yeah, already said he's in there. Okay. Yeah, i said Crawford, Monster, Usyk, Bevo, Bale. I would put Canelo in front of them still, Bam. So I would put Bam probably at six. I would have Bam over Beterbeev as well.
01:41:31
Speaker
Man, I'm taking i'm taking i'm totally um um'm taking ah David Benavidez for my fifth place. I take Beterbeev out, and I put him in. i got I'm taking Benavidez as my fifth spot.
01:41:52
Speaker
Yeah, I got a... Yeah, would put him at about six. Six or seven. I'm trying think of who I would put him at. I mean, I can't really argue that too much. nobody's going that Nobody wants to fight Benavidez. Oh, yeah, Benavidez, yeah. I think he's... All them people, all them gals, they've been running.
01:42:11
Speaker
They all running from him, right. you tell him like a gunny He's making his way up there. He could be in that...
01:42:19
Speaker
um He ain't going be there. Roots was on his way. and Now he's moving up. Can't nobody from Atlanta to rise the sun. They don't move their head. All of them get cracked because they don't move their head. Monster got that problem.
01:42:34
Speaker
yeah He's got that problem. He's been, yeah. You don't get your head off the center line, you're going down. Was it the last joint or joint before that? in ah Yeah, the joint before his last one. Lewis Neary got him. Lewis Neary, left hook.
01:42:47
Speaker
Oh. Mm-hmm. Yeah, was just trying to think of some others in the mix there. But, yeah, very interesting. It is interesting. Andy get back on track, he's back up in there. i just I just can't do it, man, because it seems like, you know, i remember when Chaka Latito, when they jumped him up the line.
01:43:07
Speaker
Yeah, you know who did that, right? Yeah, because they want him to beat the Floyd joint. They want him to get that, ah yeah, I know. Well, some of those lower weights get ignored a good deal, but he has some good wins there. If you look You look at Chocolatito's record, he's got some good wins on some of those lower weight fighters. Now, there's a bad boy down there at the minimum weight.
01:43:28
Speaker
the um Oh, yeah. Yeah, I got him top 10. You're talking about um Oscar Colazzo. I got him. Yeah, that's bad boy. I felt that way for a good day, so I have him on the back end of that top 10, but I think that he's certainly pound for pound. Oh, boy.
01:43:43
Speaker
then I was trying to think of who else, but yeah, very interesting discussion, you know? very Yeah, what one of these shows, when we get everybody on, we'll just do everybody have ready their top five or top 10 pound for pound, and then we'll just do a comparison. I used to take heavyweights out of my top 10 back in the day. because I never put them in.
01:44:02
Speaker
and Until Usyk and Fury, I never really liked putting heavyweights in there because Wilder was just knocking people out, but his skill level wasn't the same as, you know, someone else at that, you know. No, that's a let know that's a legacy move, man.
01:44:15
Speaker
They did that at end of the career and put them guys in a pound for pound so they can have another accolade on a on a record, man. That's not cool. Heavyweights don't deserve to be in that. only heavyweights I would say that would deserve a pound for pound ranking are those who came from lower weights and moved up and still did like Holyfield.
01:44:33
Speaker
You said it. You said it. I disagree. Heavyweight is the glamour division, no doubt about it. And I think that there are some top caliber heavyweights. When you look at the history of boxing, there have been some top caliber heavy heavyweights. And there have been points, I feel, in boxing where it could be argued that the heavyweight was pound for pound the top guy in the sport at that particular time. you know and i there the money How far you want to go back and all that stuff. But I do feel that was the case when Ali was in there. I feel that was the case when, well, I don't want to go too far back, but Joe Louis, for instance, he had a crossover period with different people. But for instance, there was a point where you could argue that Joe Louis was the best boxer in the world there at heavyweight.
01:45:20
Speaker
um that being said there were some other great boxers that were competing there in that period uh so i think heavyweights can be there uh there's a nuances to it there for sure ah will say but i do what i do like about usick is he beat all of the top cruiserweights in the world then he jumped up the heavyweight and beat the guys that were listed as the top guys of course fury was unanimously i believe considered to be number one so notch there in that regard took out anthony joshua who has one of the better resumes there in the heavyweight division arguably the better the best resume in the heavyweight division despite the losses or whatnot if you look at his resume joshua man his resume is top tier uh so it's very interesting but uh i do think there are select group of heavyweights who are worthy of that billing
01:46:12
Speaker
I thought Derek Chisora had – I think he has fought everybody. He's got a good resume. Yeah, I think he has fought everybody. He just doesn't have enough of them just those top guys.
01:46:24
Speaker
But he has a damn good resume. War Chisora. More like Anthony Hamilton. choose of the beard Cut that shit off, bro. Like, come on, baby. Patches. Cut that off. Cut it off. Respectfully. Respectfully.
01:46:36
Speaker
special Look they'll evalu Evaluating the comparisons that y'all both just had um and the juxtaposition of early heavyweight fighting through up through you know the 80s with mike even the 90s with Mike Tyson versus the early 2000s and most recently before Tyson Fury and and all of them – ah You can see the, and I don't want to say regression, because as you said, Josh, heavyweight has always been the glamour division. It's always what everybody wants to see. It's always what's going to make the most bucks, pay-per-view if you have big enough names, stuff like that.
01:47:16
Speaker
But at the same time, I see where Clubber D is coming from, because ah since the Joe Louis to Mike Tyson to so on and so forth, you can see a little bit of a linear regression, a little bit just in terms of quality.
01:47:31
Speaker
of fighters as you've gone on along through the years to where we are now versus those aforementioned fighters that you said before. What do y'all think about that? it's a It's a little different, I think. you know Back then, the the fight IQ wasn't the same for each weight class. It wasn't the same. It was just kind of similar in each weight class. And the when it got you know with past Muhammad Ali's phase in the 80s 90s 2000s, I feel like some of the heavyweights, besides...
01:48:02
Speaker
A handful, they weren't as, ah how do I put this, as skilled as other weight classes. It wasn't as close. Like, you know, when you got somebody like, you know, just knock people like a Tyson or whatever like that in the 90s in the 80s and then in the 90s when he came out, can't compare his skill level to Roy Jones.
01:48:23
Speaker
yeah Yeah. Or like Hagler and Hearns fighting and stuff like that. It's apples and oranges. So that's where I don't put them. used to not put them in there because I see Wilder getting there with ah what what Frank, who were who works at Amazon, and get him up out of there. and He never used a jab.
01:48:37
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? So that's where I kind of. Shoot, man. Larry Holmes and George Foreman would have. They would have sent Tyson Fury back to the boar farm. the boar farm yeah The Holmes has probably one of the best jabs ever in boxing. The Easton Assassin.
01:48:54
Speaker
All right. How about we start at the beginning? In 1881, John L. Sullivan took up Patty Ryan. Now, this was a bare knuckle. No, I'm just playing. We're not going to go that far. No, I've seen the video. I've seen the John Sullivan video. I'm with you. I love it.
01:49:11
Speaker
I'm told if I could go back to that time, I'd bail Jack Johnson. I think that's a good point. Yeah, there is a quality thing, especially here in this current phase red but But I do think we're seeing so we're seeing some heavyweights.
01:49:30
Speaker
You know, when you think about the Caballels, you think about Usyk, you think about Frank Sanchez. There are some other ones out there as well who are... probably around 6'3", comparable with some of the other ones. They might be in that 220 range who can box pretty well.
01:49:49
Speaker
And um I think we just had this phase where, you know, there are a lot of bigger guys there. the Tyson Fury listed as 6'9", essentially, and a lot of people saw that. But as John L. Sullivan said, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. You what I'm saying? I think it's all stylistic because Tyson Fury is,
01:50:09
Speaker
You know, he he's solid. He has good skills, good good footwork for his size and all of that stuff. But I think some people viewed him as sort of just world beater because of his overall size. And he was fairly quick as a heavyweight, not Ali quick or whatnot. but a quick heavyweight i guess you can say in some capacity he got dropped by steve cunningham who came from cruiserweight moved up to uh heavyweight but that was a leaner tyson fury i would say so the different things tied into it like the klitsko's uh vladimir klitsko dominant run the quality questionable but dominant run fundamentally sound all that stuff had a great left hook so i think the quality
01:50:52
Speaker
with more options out there more high paying options as well uh i think that has degraded things a bit and i do think that heavyweight is the glamour division but it's had periods here where it hasn't been the top division as far as the competition and the exposure is concerned ah Europeans got spoiled with that Klitschko era.
01:51:15
Speaker
And let me tell you, if people knew to ah to practice in a soft on a soft ring, you know what I'm saying, so they could make their legs were strong, it might have been in some different results.
01:51:28
Speaker
We needed more Chris Burr. Yeah, so, yeah, y'all got spirit and all that. We about to get all them joints back. All we got do is go holler at one of our homies that's playing NFL or an NBA. But, hey, man, go on to him come over and get this for real quick.
01:51:40
Speaker
That's all. great and Pretty much. Yeah, think about LeBron James. Think about LeBron James dedicated to boxing, you know. If he put that same effort, what LeBron puts into that's excuse me basketball, if he put that into boxing,
01:51:55
Speaker
Man, you that might be a crazy combination right there. you But that thing about things about any division, heavyweight division, I'm sorry, you yeah, dude, we can go on there. No, you know no, no, no. I was laughing at Yale. You're good. The thing about it, anybody can be touched. Giving a punch is one thing, but taking it is a whole different thing.
01:52:19
Speaker
That's true. Yeah, yeah, no doubt about that. Yeah, no, that's a great conversation. We should probably do that as a mailbag question for another episode. We could go more in depth. ah But, yeah, I think I agree with all points that everybody made. Let's give some shout-outs to everybody on Instagram.
01:52:34
Speaker
ah Sports and Tunes, shout-out, says, what's good, champs. Clayton Q, my brother Clayton Q, country music star, says, what's up? And your girl, Dion, not your girl, your girl, but your friend, Sarah Honaker, is on Instagram. Oh, SLH, what's going on?
01:52:49
Speaker
yeah Yes. And then we got here Pacquiao. Oh, we've got some people watching on the on the not live. We're to give you shout outs anyways, but I do love how you're a little bit behind.
01:53:03
Speaker
Pacquiao with PEDs or no PEDs or reg bios regardless. ah Morning Wombat, we'll give you the shout out in the future. So we're giving you a pretty cool. it's like a future shout out you're getting because you won't see this. from He's in Australia. a mushroom I think so.
01:53:17
Speaker
I think so. Yeah. I agree with, oh maybe the streaming latency before, between like us and them is maybe he can get in a few minutes late. i don't know. Them are still on, a they plugging their, they plugging their internet into their phone.
01:53:30
Speaker
Oh, come on now. Don't do that to them. I'm serious, bro. All you guys it's your boomerang come through that window. I'm serious. When I was Medellin, Colombia, they had dial up, bro.
01:53:42
Speaker
Well, yeah, Colombia, but that's not the same as Australia. We're talking about the Philippines here. Oh, i thought we were talking about Australia. My bad. oh phil Oh, yeah. Yeah, them too. Philippines, yeah. Probably. Philippines, yeah. Probably. No latency. No latency. I think a great word.
01:53:57
Speaker
Klitschko couldn't fought Wilder, but Ugg. Also, Jose says there's an upcoming star from the Philippines, Kenneth Lover, I guess that is. Kenneth Lover? I don't know if I see him. Take the L out of Lover. It's over. i But it's pronounced the double L. It's a yama. Like a... That's tremendous. All right, cool.
01:54:23
Speaker
We're all getting too tired for this. Let's move into the main event of the evening. No, this is also happening on ju July, not January, July 19th, for the Heavyweight Championship of the World. Let me go ahead, and I got a little...
Usyk vs. Dubois Rematch Analysis
01:54:39
Speaker
ah poster image for this one as well.
01:54:43
Speaker
ah Oleksandr Usyk versus Daniel Dubois. Oleksandr Usyk's WBC, WBO, and WBA heavyweight titles and Dubois' IBF heavyweight title. So starting with you on this, Clubber D, that's not a big enough picture as I thought it was going to be, but whatever.
01:55:05
Speaker
How do you feel about this fight? I'm just taking that down. it This fight's tough. this is my I might change my decision. But right now, um i love the confidence that Daniel Dubois has and has been the last few fights. I didn't like the lame excuse to not want to fight Parker because they already had this fight lined up, basically.
01:55:26
Speaker
But I actually have Daniel Dubois winning this fight. I have him winning. Whoa! Yeah, I have him winning by... I'm going to go with an eight-round knockout.
01:55:38
Speaker
Yeah. It might change, oh but I'm going with Dubois. Oh, it's going to change. Wow. It probably will. Daniel Dubois with a KOA. I saw a picture of Usyk. That's why wanted to wait because he looked a lot bigger than usual, ah the picture they showed of Usyk. And I wonder if he just put on more muscle. Is that going to slow him down?
01:55:57
Speaker
But Dubois is very confident because he got cheated in the first fight. That was a body shot. That was not low blow.
01:56:04
Speaker
No, you're right. It way was not a little bit. We saw. Everyone saw it. And was a body shot. and Come on, buddy. That's a little bit of an acting. Not little bit. A really good acting. They were in Poland. They were in Poland. The war is going on right now. They so close to the war. I'm telling don't know what they were doing. Yeah.
01:56:25
Speaker
Okay. ah California Thug and Shoutout, you're still catching up. Here's your future shoutout yeah for Team Zubane. I love it. I love it. That's so great. All right, Josh, who you got in this fight?
01:56:37
Speaker
Man, compelling fight. Somewhat polarizing given the nature of it went down that first time as far as that body shot to the belt line that sent Usyk down.
01:56:49
Speaker
And I wonder if the referee would have started counting like, whoa, and kept going, if Usyk would have gotten up. That's a good question right there, you know, I feel. But he seemed to be pretty hurt by it.
01:57:02
Speaker
um But one thing that can't be forgotten is he went on to stop Dubois in that contest. do Now, yeah Dubois, he's improved a great deal and slowed down a bit from his early days. And I think that the sort of change probably came after Joe Joyce because he was really going for Joe Joyce, trying to get him out of there.
01:57:23
Speaker
Then eventually ended up going down himself. That being said, the better boxer is no question Usyk. The stronger guy is likely going to be Dubois, but I would put every other attribute in favor of Usyk, personally speaking.
01:57:44
Speaker
And I think that will be the case here, even with this maybe slightly improved Dubois, but improved enough to where he's going to find that shot again. i don't know. I think Usyk,
01:58:00
Speaker
He's good in rematches. I think he's going to do what he needs to do. So I got Usyk. I'll give a unanimous decision this time around as opposed to a stock pitch because I think Dubois will pace himself a bit more. I'm going Usyk. Unanimous decision. He will be the clear winner.
01:58:19
Speaker
Yeah, I like that you said that because when you're looking at ah the record here, or especially for Dubois, 22 wins, 21 by KO, ya yo that's a 95% KO percentage, which means if he's going to win, it's usually going to be because he does find that one shot as he did land early again, Usyk. But as Josh pointed out, Usyk did come back to win overall, probably being the better fighter between the two. But we as Josh said as well, Dubois is taller, two inches taller, and heavier so uh yayo who do you have in this fight man this is crazy bro so i think at this point you gotta put yusek up there as one of the greatest ever right he's earned his way into the spot i'm not saying he's the best ever i'm saying look he's moved pretty close to it right
01:59:12
Speaker
And then great you got Triple D out here who looked like he trying to just try he was trying to um squeeze one of them turtle heads out in the photo. You feel me? So are we prepared to say Daniel Dubois, the dude was squeezing the turtle head off, is about to beat one of the people who was considered one of the best ever in the prime of their career?
01:59:36
Speaker
I think Daniel Dubois can do it. He showed us he could do it. And as long as he ain't out here trying to talk trash, because he ain't got no jokes, he ain't got no delivery.
01:59:47
Speaker
As long as he ain't doing that and he just sticks to boxing and they stick to putting their movie script you know previews up, that's cool. But I think i think he's going to get it done, bro. I think he's going to go to the body on Usyk early.
02:00:01
Speaker
European fighters don't seem to take it too well to the body, just like a lot of fighters with all them vowels in their name. They don't take it to the body too good because they don't do sit-ups.
02:00:13
Speaker
ah So I just think he's going to the body on him, and I think it's going wear on him after a while. And if he's got the stamina, um if he leans on him, you know what I'm saying, if he is he's if he's able to cut the ring off, i think I think the boys could do it, man. I think left hook to the body.
02:00:31
Speaker
that's the what That's the way that that the Ukrainians, they try to scoot around to the side. I think left hook to the body. Joshua was successful with it. Other fighters have been successful with it on him.
02:00:42
Speaker
And I think that's how he gets it done. Liver shot. Sit him down. TKO what? I'm going, if it go past seven, you're still going to to work on it.
02:00:54
Speaker
So if it happens, you know what? ah I go KO. I go KO eight. Alright, cool. um Wow. yeah Yeah, I mean, you just changed my mind.
02:01:07
Speaker
i Yale, I was going with Oleksandr Usyk on this But man, the way that after I talked about his knockout percentage and after we saw the way that he was able to land that one shot on him last time, Usyk is only older now. Yeah, still a great fighter. He's still undefeated. He's still, I mean, well, not many Ukrainians are swift on the feet per se, but he can still move for a 38-year-old But but Yeah, no, I think the younger fighter, I just have a feeling he's just going to maybe catch him in a certain round and just, yeah, okay. All right, yeah, I'm going to go.
02:01:48
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going to go a KO or a TKO as well for Dubois. I'm not sure what round, but yeah, I'm going to change my mind. Good job. There you go. All right. Well, there you go, y'all. Let's catch up on some comments here. Because I do. I think Oleksandr Usyk is obviously, as you mentioned, one of the best ever.
02:02:03
Speaker
And he still hasn't been beaten. So it's not like we should be taking anything away from him, to be completely honest. But yeah this is the tragedy, bro. This is the changeover of heavyweight division.
02:02:18
Speaker
if other times It cannot be stationed in Europe. It just don't belong there. It don't fit there. It's corny. Nobody want to hear Sweet Caroline no more. That shit is corny. Well, it's going to still be there. It'll be the case. Who will take him out? Caballel.
02:02:34
Speaker
is who taking about cabael He's going to Germany then. Or yeah if you give if you give Bacoli enough time to to to you know to train. Bacoli would definitely come out here. Kamala.
02:02:51
Speaker
We'll see what Jared Anderson can do if he can rebound. Oh, Lord.
02:02:56
Speaker
I hope so with him. but he's not I don't think his head's in the game up for boxing. He was supposed to fight a Big Baby. like its sweet Big Baby versus Big Baby, but I guess that might not happen. Yeah, okay.

02:04:50
Speaker
No, but seriously, though, y'all, hey, look, man. Wow. You know, we week we talk our box we talk our boxing stuff up here. We talk our support for athletes up here. We crack jokes and things like that. But on a serious note, though, um listen, man, there's there's been a lot of devastation with storms and things like that.
02:05:05
Speaker
You know, I would just urge people to, you know, if you can support people in places where it's flooding at and stuff like that, do what you can for people.

Not everybody's getting alerts.
02:05:21
Speaker
So, you know, um that's what I got to say about that, because right now, you know, that I think I think that's more important than anything is, you know, making sure we find bodies and and ah put them to rest like they deserve. So that's my saying.
02:05:34
Speaker
Very poignant, very well said. um you know ah Rest in peace to everyone that lost their lives, especially all the young children in Texas. That's horrible for anyone to pass away, but especially young children.
02:05:46
Speaker
Josh, what you got for us? Ditto that same thing. Ditto the same there. you know Thoughts with everyone in that regard. Also, I want to say that Muhammad Ali is still the GOAT at heavyweight, baby.

02:06:44
Speaker
I'm supposed to be promoting the stream on millions, you know, and but about a fight. Man, the first thing I'm telling this kid is like, oh yeah, you should check out Christy Martin's documentary. You know, she gets shot by her husband. I'm just going back like, you know, thinking we're going to make shorts out of this shit.
02:07:02
Speaker
And here I am like, yeah, she almost got killed by her husband. You go check out her documentary on this. She got shot up and shit. I'm like, you know what I mean? Like,
02:07:15
Speaker
Honestly, i don't think i don't think they're gonna i don't think they I don't think they care because they know you got to get used to it. Like, you're new to that. And then, you know what's funny, bro? Because, you know, how we left talking about picks? I kind of threw that in the interview. I was like, you got Hamza, you got Berla, you got Shakur. He was cool. He knew his boxing.
02:07:30
Speaker
yeah was cool as a fan. The kid was cool. But I was talking to him like a friend. And this is supposed to be an interview to hype up a pay-per-view. You understand? They're using me make...
02:07:43
Speaker
to to make oh Here I am going, shit, she got shot up by her husband. the fuck it is your this I to watch it. I mean, I am who I am. Fuck it. hey i'm not go I'm not corporate America. i'm not going to change who the fuck I am. right We got puppets up on top. This is no whole bar.
02:08:04
Speaker

02:08:08
Speaker
I mean, ah again, look, they they have so many people that go and do interviews for their platform. It's not like that. I'm not paid. I'm not paid. Yeah, they can't say shit. I made a mistake. Oh, well.
02:08:19
Speaker
I'm not. human I don't even think it's a mistake. I think they'll be okay with it. Like, I think they want that kind of banter. Yeah, maybe you could have plugged the pay-per-view a little bit more. Maybe you should have like a stick note. Oh, did plug it, though. did try plug it good. I had my points like, yo, you guys check out his stream. Oh, you should be fine then. Oh, man.
02:08:36
Speaker
Yeah, I hope they make the right shorts and Hey, man, get a redo. all the edits. yeah We can do all the edits. huh We can do a redo, fam. Possibly, but no, it's too much. right It was good enough. I got i got to the point.
02:08:49
Speaker
a like Hey, where we just call we were just closing out. Do you want to give the everybody your thoughts on the Dubois-Alexander-Usyk fight and then give your channels and everything like that and we're peacing out?
02:09:00
Speaker
You know, if they had that instant replay like they did back in the day, I think that Dubois would have been been the winner of that that that first encounter. But Usyk is my number one pound for pound fighter, man.
02:09:14
Speaker
know what we're talking about? We're talking about Bam, talking about pound for pound. Alexander Usyk is number one. He's proven it. you know, he's done shut them up shut people out, give him them the rematches, came back, gave them the same sandwich.
02:09:28
Speaker
You know what saying? And Usyk, I got Usyk in this fight. He's going to be way very a lot more. and He's very intelligent. And he's gonna stay away from, but the ball's on a streak too. So, damn, I go Usyk decision on this one.
02:09:47
Speaker
What kind of decision? um I'm gonna go, no, is unanimous. yeah All right, cool. All right. Well, hey, go ahead and plug your channels for everybody. And we were just, I mean, we can keep going.

I was very happy I was able to get Derrick Chico to really like talk about his country and how he felt about like his people back there in the war and all that. It was, and how he wants to go on another run. For someone that don't speak English normally, like you did really good with, and you had him talk a long time and he understood everything you were saying, but it took him, it took him a little while to put everything together because English is not his primary language. So you did great with that, especially with foreigners, man.
