Speaker 2: It is good. It's been a long time, as asy

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: I worded to, but I'm glad we've got a date

12

Speaker 2: and locked in and we can sort of will work

13
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: towards something now. So I'm very excited.

14
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: Do you know what we had Sonny Bill on before

15
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: we broke up for Christmas? You know what about this fight,

16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: and usually with boxing Bass it's about mouthing off beforehand

17
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: and stuff. But you guys are actually too really well mannered.

18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: You know, you have a lot of etiquette, you boys.

19
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be one of those

20
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: mouthing off at each other before you actually get into

21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: the ring. Bas, You'll be quite respectable.

22
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Look, I respect what he's done and you know

23
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: how how couldn't you? You know, he's been a fantastic

24
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: athlete and you know, one of the best boys. We've

25
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: saying so, and he's very respectful and he's a nice

26
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 2: guy like.

27
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 3: That.

28
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: But you know, it don't be like that for now.

29
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 2: It's he's he's my enemy, and I'm sure he's thinking

30
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: the same thing. I'm going to hurt this guy. And

31
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: you know, after the fight finished, we can shake hands

32
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: and you know, maybe.

33
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: Here's the question though, when you look at a bloke

34
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 3: like Sunny but Williams and your team pick apart his

35
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 3: boxing style and how he fights, can you find a weakness?

36
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, we said said a few things, but you

37
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: know he also his last fight there was there was aired,

38
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: was seven years ago, so you know he's been training

39
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: full time now for nearly two years while this fight

40
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: has been spoken about. So I'm sure he's changing and improved.

41
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: So yes, we send some weaknesses, but you know, everybody

42
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: improves the more and more they train them all more

43
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: they do some sparring and be put under pressure. So

44
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: but you know that we were just go to work

45
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: off what we've got at our hands, and we found

46
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: a few things and we've got to try and capitalize

47
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: on that.

48
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: S A s as well, bas I'll tell you what,

49
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: you'd be fit as a fiddle at the moment. You

50
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't have had too many beers over the Christmas break,

51
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: bas this is a big This is obviously a big

52
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: period for you leading into S A S and the

53
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: fight as well. You must be fit as a fiddle

54
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: at the moment.

55
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: I'm pretty fair, but a good character angling in front

56
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: of me is a the twenty fourth of March. I

57

58
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: And I love a drink, not too much, but I

59
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 2: do love a drink, and so yeah, I'm quite sick.

60
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 2: And yeah, as I said, it's just it's just good now,

61
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: not baseline train. I can I can actually work towards

62
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: it and peak. Yeah sure, so yeah, it's really goods.

63
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: Let's talk about say, because it's only around the corner

64
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: in February. Every year one of the most sort of

65
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: everyone clenches their teeth and goes oh when the boxing

66
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: sort of exercise comes up and they have to go

67
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: toe to toe in the middle of the circle. There's

68
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: whispers going around that this year because you've got Michael

69
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: Zaraffin there as well, who is a boxer Wayne Carey

70
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: who can go as well in the ring. I'm hearing

71
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: that this season there is no boxing going on. Bas

72
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: do you actually get the gloves on?

73
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: No, we didn't get the gloves on this year, but

74
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: similar sort of thing in a different way we did, right,

75
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: I won't devour too much, but yeah, simill sort of

76
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: thing in a different way because you and Wayne Carey. Great,

77
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: it's still man to being combat you know, woman and

78
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: woman whatever your preference is, but it's it's just a

79
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: similar thing in a different way, same sort of pressure.

80
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: Where okay, and the hardest things that you've done, and

81
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: you've done a lot of pre seasons in your time time,

82
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: you've prepared for fights. Where does sas sit in the

83
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: hardest things that you've done, Barry.

84
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: That's right up there, It is right up there. Look

85
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: one thing I did experience and now I loved all

86
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: the physical stuff because you know, and you know with

87
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 2: all the football staff of process that they're quite grueling

88
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: and taxing on the body. But you do get a reprieve,

89
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: you do get a break, Yes you have and sleep yep,

90
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: you just couldn't. You couldn't have a break. You had

91
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: to be constantly on because if they if they call you,

92
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: because it's like you're in a war sort of situation.

93
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: If we get attacked, we've got five minutes to get

94
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: our boots on, get our backpack ready, and be in

95
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: survival mode that we might have to leave the camp

96
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: and got off the battle. So you could never really sleep.

97
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: You sleep with one way open. Constantly, mind is ticking

98
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: and stressing out about it. If you're going to be

99
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: called because you think it ready in five minutes, there's punishment,

100
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: So you just couldn't really switch off.

101
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 3: And that's the other thing too. I mean, when there's

102
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,799
Speaker 3: no food being served and any food that has served

103
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 3: is crap. One of the scariest things I think, and

104
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: why I wouldn't do sa S would just be that

105
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 3: morning breath that would be everywhere amongst the rest of

106
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: the cars. You'd be doing a team activity and someone

107
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 3: had breathed into your nerves and oh my god, you

108
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: need your gas mask, and you might have starved your

109
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 3: way through it.

110
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I look, I lost a little bit of weight,

111
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: but the food is what it is. I think once

112
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: you're in that mindset of you know, on here for

113
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 2: fourteen days and you know I need to lock in

114
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 2: the food. I didn't really worry too much to day

115
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 2: because I've been a football player and doing three days

116
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: trying to lose weight every now and again. It's, you know,

117
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 2: the food I'm sort of used to, not a lost

118
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 2: Yeah right. Food didn't bother me too much, but it did.

119
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 2: It did bother a lot of people.

120
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: Well, it's going to be the sas around the corner

121
