How about a little warning combat 5 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: instant analysis to help digest it here. My name is 6 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: Brian Campbell, one half of this award winning combat sports 7 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:34,279 Speaker 1: series series so good they can't stop nominating it for awards. 8 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 1: Thank you for your service in that regard. Luke Thomas, 9 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: he's off right now. It's that man's forty fourth birthday. 10 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: Shoot him up, shout him out or shout him out, 11 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: do not shoot him up. 12 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: Thank you very much. 13 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: If you're here and you're expecting me to give you 14 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: a spoiler alert, you must have recently had a massive 15 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: head injury. Either way. To his own pay per view 16 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: was the site. Hey, I purchased mine. You know I'm 17 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: gonna expense that through ESPN. Plus, let's be honest about something, 18 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: because we do that in this show. I wasn't into 19 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: this fight coming in, and it wasn't you know, it 20 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: wasn't some Oh we're not. 21 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 2: Working the fight for showtime, So let's flip the switch. 22 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: And hate. I felt it was a little bit past due. 23 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: I felt the Shenanigans leading up were forced. It just 24 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: didn't feel like Na Diez wanted to be there or. 25 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 2: Cared, so I shared my opinion. 26 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: You know what, I'm happy to be wrong right here 27 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: because Jake Paul versus Nadez, which goes down at the 28 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: end of the day a unanimous decision win for Jake 29 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: Paul over ten rounds. 30 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 2: It was fun. 31 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: Everybody won in the end. Jake Paul did he make 32 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: massive strides and changes to approve as a boxer? 33 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, it showed Na Diez. 34 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: Did he entertain Yeah, yeah he did. Did he at least, 35 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: you know, able to keep his respect and his reputation 36 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: with a tough ass performance? 37 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: He did. 38 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: In fact, he almost had moments where it looked like 39 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: if Jake Paul could be pushed a little bit harder, 40 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: maybe he could fall victim to a late fade. As 41 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: it was Nay Diez and his team that argued that 42 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: push on the negotiation table to get this from eight 43 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: rounds to ten rounds. But you know, I'm kind of 44 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: happy the air is coming out of the balloon. On 45 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: the crossover circus influencer sort of bubble period we've had 46 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: here in boxing, where especially during the pandemic, when the 47 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: big fights weren't getting made. Look Jake Paul sliding in 48 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: and becoming a legit in traction. It kind of mattered 49 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: the narrative of him taking out former UFC champions on 50 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: this robin hood like run of trying to bring attention 51 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: to fighters and fighter pay and all that. It kind 52 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: of was interesting. Right now, boxing doesn't necessarily need these 53 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: crossover fights with how good twenty twenty three was, but 54 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: you know, I love to be wrong in this spot. 55 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 2: This was a fun fight to watch. 56 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: There was some you know, there was some There was 57 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: some cringiness going around connected to it, as you might 58 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: expect with this type of matchup. But first and foremost, 59 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: what did we learn in a fight that goes down? 60 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: As I mention unanimous decision the judges scores ninety seven 61 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: ninety two, ninety eight ninety one, and ninety eight ninety 62 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: one for Jake Paul. How did I have it? Ninety 63 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: seven ninety one for Jake Paul so not like any 64 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: of those three, but one number off in every possible direction, 65 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: And how did I score that? Specifically giving Nate Diaz 66 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: round four his best round of the fight. I also 67 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: gave Nate round eight and round nine as it looked 68 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: like he was potentially potentially causing Jake to bend and 69 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: possibly break there with those late flurries. 70 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 2: But let's talk what we learned first and foremost. 71 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: Number one, Jake Paul was faced with a task with 72 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: a challenge here coming off of that last fight split 73 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: decision lost to Tommy Feury. Yes, Jake scored a final 74 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: round eighth round knockdown, but he faded a bit. He 75 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: finally met quote unquote a real boxer, although obviously we 76 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: take that with a grain of but Tommy Feery came 77 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: out to fight, he was big that night, and we 78 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: saw some of the deficiencies the limits in Jake's game. 79 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: This was a different opponent obviously in thirty nine year 80 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: old Natz, But all the talks that we had and 81 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: particularly me about the size difference didn't really seem a 82 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: big part of it in the end. 83 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 2: So Nate, even though. 84 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: He fought at one seventy for the biggest fights in 85 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: his MMA career, looked really good here at one eighty 86 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: five physically. But the evolution of Jake Paul's boxing game 87 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: was the lead story here. And I always pause people 88 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: of saying, you know, well, when are you gonna fight 89 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: a real fighter, or when are you gonna, you know, 90 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: climb the letter and do what you say you will 91 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: in some of these interviews which you want to be 92 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: a world champion, I've always slowed the right there, slowed 93 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: the pace on there, slowed down. Jake's very good for 94 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: a novice, very good for a celebrity crossover fighter because 95 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: he takes it very seriously. And I love the reinvention 96 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: of what he did going back to his team. 97 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: Changing it up. 98 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: It doesn't look like BJ Flores is there more, unless 99 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: I'm wrong, Jailey on Love is still there. 100 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: Shane Mosley played a big. 101 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: Role during training camp, although he wasn't in the corner, 102 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: and there was some new head trainer whose name is 103 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: mistaking me in the moment but I hadn't seen before. 104 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: That was just you can see really preaching during this 105 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: fight the fundamentals. So Jake went back to the drawing board, 106 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: refocused on fundamentals, brought in coach Larry Wade, who was, 107 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: you know, one of the top strength conditioning coaches in boxing, 108 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: works with all the big PBC stars, and you saw 109 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: that physical difference. So while I'm surprised that Nate ultimately 110 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: looked about the same size, the main difference was the 111 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: thickness in Jake and the muscularity, and that didn't play 112 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: it negatively into his game plan. He had enough gas 113 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: in the moments where he might have broken against Nats 114 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: because Nate did fight like a sly fox out there. 115 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 1: But Jake's evolution we he always did well working behind 116 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: the jab, but there were little, little. 117 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 2: Breakdowns in his game. 118 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: You know. Luke Thomas today a lengthy dissected on this 119 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: ahead of one of Jake's big fights where you really 120 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: could pick out. Obviously for a guy that had five 121 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: or six fight Pro fights coming in some breakdown in 122 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: his delivery, he tightened up a lot of that. I 123 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: loved how we circled away at times when Nate was 124 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: bringing on flurries. I liked the physicality shoot Jake showed 125 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: in the clinch as Nate was really trying to lean 126 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: on him and wear him out. But most importantly it 127 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: was the offensive shot selection That lead sort of looping 128 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: left hook from Jake was perfect. That's the shot that 129 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: routinely hurt Nate. 130 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:22,799 Speaker 2: Diaz. 131 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: It looked like Nate could have gone at the end 132 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: of the first I saw Dan Rayfield on Twitter scoring 133 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: that one. In ten eight. You certainly could have as 134 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: Nate was knocked around the ring, and even though Nate 135 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: showed us that Nate dz toughness and got back in 136 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: and played possum a few times when there was real 137 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: danger and thinking that fourth round when Nate, for the 138 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: first time in the fight stopped just pitter pattying with 139 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: the little slat punches and got inside, waited toil the 140 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: end of the round when Jake started to slow down 141 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: a bit and then did what we hoped he would 142 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: have done, which was put on those flurries and make 143 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: it difficult. How did Jake respond to that? He responded 144 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: incredibly well. Round five was his best round of the fight. 145 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: He knocked Nate down hard, falling face first under the ropes. 146 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: There with that lead left hand, the combinations of power punching, 147 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: the commitment to the body, the good footwork. Again, not 148 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: comparing it to professional boxers, I was saying, Jake is 149 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: a professional, But you get my point in terms of 150 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: legitimate rising prospects. But for who Jake is and the 151 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: type of competition he faces, which may include, by the way, 152 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: eventually a rematch with Tommy Fury, who's going to be 153 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: fighting Ksi. I'm sure there's big money and another fight 154 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: with Ksi and on down the line there. As long 155 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: as Jake stays in this lane of retired MMA fighter 156 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: crossover guys in that general and generally speaking, there, he's 157 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: better than them. He's more committed, he's younger, he's stronger, 158 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: he's faster and in and around this one hundred and 159 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: eighty five catchweight point, which has been of late his 160 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: landing spot. Jake's a hard out to beat. So lead 161 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: number story number one was Jake's evolution, but number two 162 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: Nate avoided the worst case scenario in here destruction. And 163 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: it looked in the first round like he was going 164 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: out and he was going down and his ability to 165 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: adjust to the power of the larger gloves in comparison 166 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: to the four ounce ones, and maybe, you know, they 167 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: talked on the broadcast, maybe there's some of that false 168 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: sense of, you know, a feeling like the bigger gloves 169 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: can't hurt you as much. But Nate did get hurt 170 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: in that first round. I felt like it would have 171 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: been disaster zis disastrous. We would have talked more about 172 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: the age had he fallen apart there, but his ability 173 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: to weather that storm. Yeah, I thought he was clowning 174 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: around a little bit too much, But it also looked like. 175 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 2: He was finally having fun with this. 176 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 1: But he was having fun with this with a strategy 177 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: that nearly worked. 178 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 2: So that's the difference. And I came around quick because I. 179 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: Did have a few different people texting me in the 180 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: first couple rounds going is Nate high Like he just 181 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: looks like he's floating. 182 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 2: Around, not caring. 183 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's doing some of those baiting traps where he's 184 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: pretending to turn his head away from the action to 185 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: bring Paul in to counter. But that fourth round really 186 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: woke me up to the idea that no, he came 187 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: to fight, he came prepared, he came conditioned, because it 188 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: was that strategic change I just talked about a minute ago. 189 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: Waiting until the end of the round. Jake looked good 190 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: in the beginning of that fourth round, landing the jabs, 191 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, really working on that footwork, setting up his shots. Well, 192 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: Nate waited till he had tired out a bit and 193 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: really started to come on. It was the same flurrying 194 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: he had tried in the first three rounds. The difference 195 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: was though, the commitment to the power, and once he 196 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: started landing those sort of lunging left crosses in the 197 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: one twos, he was suddenly in this fight. So Jake 198 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: Paul's adjustment in the fifth round to drop him was huge. 199 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: But Nate showing us that toughness being able in the 200 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: end to go the distance over ten rounds and bouncing back, 201 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: particularly like I said, in rounds eight and nine, getting 202 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: on top of Jake and really testing the want in 203 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: that gus tank, but doing it in smart ways, switching stances. 204 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: Even though Nate's on top of you and there to 205 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: be hit and he is, there is some subtle sort 206 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: of maneuvering and swiveling with Nate that makes it difficulty. 207 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: He's a sly fox out there. And if Jake hadn't 208 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: made the adjustments after that fury loss, I feel like 209 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: this would have been the albatross moment. I feel like 210 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: this would have been the point where Jake would have flung, 211 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: would have fallen apart late, and Nate could have finished him. 212 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: You saw that in the way that Jake finished strong 213 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 1: there in both rounds eight and nine, but there were 214 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: interesting conversations between rounds throughout a couple of them that 215 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: I took notice. Nate's lead trainer was Richard Prez, his 216 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: longtime boxing trainer in terms of his extended group there 217 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: in the NBA, and Richard seemed really disappointed with Nate 218 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: between rounds nine and ten. Entering the final round there, 219 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: I'd given Nate the final previous two rounds, and even 220 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: though Richard was rightfully so saying Nate, you need a 221 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: ko in the final round, it was very fatherly when 222 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 1: he was like, you're not doing a lot of the 223 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: shit we. 224 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 2: Were supposed to do it. 225 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: And finally Nator was just sort of like, yeah, I'm sorry, 226 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It was an interesting sort of knee that 227 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: he took there. 228 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: Nate tried to entertain. 229 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,719 Speaker 1: He tried to lure Jake in the final round, but 230 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: Jake's ability in round ten when it mattered most, when 231 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: we were gonna have the biggest questions of his cardio 232 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: for him to come out and clear that up and 233 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: win it. Yeah, they had a little bit of a 234 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: sloppy brawl in the final you know, thirty seconds back 235 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: and forth. It was fun. 236 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: Nate was trying to draw him and do anything to 237 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: bring him in. 238 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: But I meant to what I said that everybody kind 239 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: of won, meaning Jake shows improvement and goes to the 240 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: next level. And now we can talk about this MMA rematch. 241 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: Nate in his first fight outside of the UFC, shows 242 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: that no, he's you know, not getting better with age, 243 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: but that combination of experience and toughness and his ability 244 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: and want to entertain you. And I didn't expect him, 245 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: by the way, to come out and be that entertainer, 246 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: expected him to kind of get overwhelmed, for him to 247 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: have maybe a couple of moments with single shots, but 248 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 1: for ultimately him to say at the end, you know why, 249 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: I landed the better shots, but I lost the decision, 250 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: or maybe he would have gotten stopped, but no, he 251 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: retained face in the best Nate ds way possible short 252 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: of knocking down Jake and winning the fight. And I 253 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: do think this was an uphill battle when you really 254 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: looked at it, and all that experience from Nate, including 255 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: jitimate experience in the boxing gyms and having a boxing 256 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: style that was going to be hard to make up 257 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: quickly over a guy like Jake u Wid, like I said, 258 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: had been so active and had been taking it so 259 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 1: seriously and is younger, more explosive, able to bounce back 260 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: physically quick. 261 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 2: You've got to give Jake that credit. He is tough. 262 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: If he was a fraud, he would have gassed out 263 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: and lost already or gotten knocked out already. And I 264 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: know he did lose to Tommy Fury, but we were 265 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: at that point entering that fight where we thought Fury 266 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: was a clown and a bomb, and the recent tape, 267 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it showed that Tommy Fury still though on paper, 268 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: is the bigger fighter and does have you know, the 269 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: roots of legitimate boxing. So I don't think you hold 270 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: that loss against him as long as you're not, like 271 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: I mentioned, keeping into this idea that he's going to 272 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,599 Speaker 1: be fighting for a WBC cruiserweight title sooner that he 273 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: should be in any form. Jake Paul's an entertainer, and 274 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 1: in entertainment fights, this may have been the most fun one. 275 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: I thought. 276 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 2: The best build for Jacob to this point. 277 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: Was the promotion of the Showtime Sports played a big 278 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: part in ahead of the first Woodley fight. 279 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 2: They got you interested. 280 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: The trash talk felt real There were legitimate doubts, even 281 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: though I did not like the build and I was 282 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: vocal about it, for this one. The fight may have 283 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: been the best fight in this Jake Paul series. 284 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 2: In this run, you. 285 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: Know, not like there's a ton of competition, because Jake 286 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 1: had early knockouts against people that shouldn't have been in there, 287 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: like a Nate Robinson or a Ben Askrin, and had 288 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: somewhat interesting fights with Tyron Woodley where he looked good 289 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 1: at time, especially on that knockout, but let's not forget 290 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: before the knockout. In that rematch, Jake didn't look good 291 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: as Woodley frustrated him. This was the most competitive, most 292 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: entertaining one. And I've always said, sure, Jake has to 293 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: win pretty consistently for this bubble to stay on, but 294 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 1: he's got to be in fun fights that he. 295 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: Has a chance of losing. 296 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: The reason why I'm so colorfully saying this was a 297 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: bit a winning night for everybody involved was that Nay 298 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: put on just enough pressure and key moments to give 299 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: you that I don't want to say illusion, but that 300 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: tease that a break through when as possible, just like 301 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: he did by the way against Leon Edwards, even in 302 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: a fight where we, you know, assumed he would be 303 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: very outgunned in that moment. This is what crossover bubble 304 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 1: fights need. They need this kind of competition, they need 305 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: this kind of feeling like it could go either way. 306 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: It's a wide decision. In the end, Jake largely dominated 307 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: the big moments, but you can't count out Nate from 308 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: being tough as freaking nails, and that, like I said, 309 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: nearly gave him some big moments in there. And how 310 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: Nate never got cut is beyond me. That big left 311 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: hook in round one that hurt him seemed to swell 312 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: his eye pretty badly on the rights on the on 313 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: the right side, and remarkable as well if that didn't 314 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: end up closing. 315 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 2: I felt like there could have been. 316 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: A lot of ways that Nate looked old here or 317 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: it was stopped on a cut, and it just felt 318 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: like a very incomplete fight, kind of like the first 319 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: BMF fight. I know that Jorge did largely dominate him, 320 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: but it did feel incomplete when it ended, because you 321 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: knew Nate had more fight left in him, but you 322 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: didn't want his whole face to be cut open and 323 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: broke open there. I don't know how much this window 324 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: this bubble has though, in terms of staying power, if 325 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: you're in it for the influencers. The idea now of 326 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: Logan Paul who you know, did something that's that's pretty 327 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: damn cool to win a big match at SummerSlam and 328 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: then hop on the private jetting fly from what Detroit 329 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: to UH to Dallas. That's not bad. That does remind 330 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: me of wasn't that that time? On that on that 331 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: May fifth weekend? Tom Brady was like at the Kentucky 332 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: Derby then got in the gotten the airplane to go 333 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: to Mayweather Pakia or Mayweather McGregor one of those two. 334 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: If you're into just the influencer side of it, Logan's 335 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: coming back on that doubleheader were KSI is fighting Tommy Fury. 336 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: There's a round robin setup of rematches between all of 337 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: those guys and the and the Paul brothers right there. 338 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: I don't think that's huge sustainability. I think Jake's going 339 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: to continue to need fights like this, gonna continue to 340 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: need big names who we can kind of talk ourselves 341 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: into some level or idea of them being competitive. You're 342 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: gonna be slim picking soon though. But the pivot to 343 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: MMA is interesting. I didn't think I cared at all 344 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: about sort of a shameless exhibition of sorts of a 345 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: rematch here in the ten million dollar offer, which seems 346 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: to be legit that if Jake Paul won, which we 347 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: assumed here in this boxing match, that they would on 348 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: the table do a MMA rematch in PFL. I largely 349 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: wanted nothing to do with that. I don't know tonight, 350 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: like tonight didn't suck, and it didn't suck to the 351 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: level that I'm not against them doing this carnival MMA match, 352 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: you know. 353 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 2: And I get that Jake was a. 354 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: High school wrestler, but I don't even think he was 355 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: as dedicated or accomplished as Logan was. I even liked 356 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: Jake's very baby face post fight speech in which he 357 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: talked about, you know, don't let anybody take away your 358 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: dreams and you gotta believe the power of belief and 359 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: all that. I think that's a fantastic message to send out, 360 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,719 Speaker 1: and it is true. In terms of his arc, his 361 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: moonlighting slide into boxing has been remarkable. 362 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 2: It has been surprising. 363 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: I just think that as much as he's been the 364 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: face in the power of putting the air in the balloon. 365 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: There's gotta be some pivot coming up or some new 366 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: opening of opponents for. 367 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 2: It to carry on. 368 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: Maybe it is going to MMA, because I wouldn't have 369 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: given a damn about what can only be a one 370 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: sided fight when he does fight, and if he does fight, 371 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: Nate and MMA. But I don't know if it's just 372 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 1: the Ghoul sort of like side of the road accident, 373 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: and I gotta see it after this. It was cringe 374 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: on the build up, but it kind of worked in 375 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: the ring. I don't know. 376 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 2: It's interesting. 377 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: I want to see what Nate does, and I'm interested 378 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: in hearing Nate Luke Thomas's reaction in Morning Combat this week. 379 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: I'll be on vacation, family vacation this week, so you 380 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: won't hear from me, so I might as well tell 381 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: you now. But it does come down, in my opinion, 382 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: to what you have c can offer Nate, because if 383 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 1: they believe that Connor McGregor can can get back in 384 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: there and cash out a few times, right Chandler. You know, 385 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: by the way, I'm not even against if you want 386 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: to do one more with Tony and I had to 387 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 1: be Connor at this point. My my opinion of Connor's 388 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: current stock is so bad that I actually wouldn't hate 389 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: that either. But the idea if they feel like they 390 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: can do Connor versus Nate three, there is buzz, there 391 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: is money in that. Does Nate want to potentially piss 392 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: off and potentially get black ball by UFC? Two? If 393 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: this offer is real for ten million dollars for a 394 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: fight that, I mean, how could he lose just by 395 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: coming out in calf kicking, He'd probably be you know 396 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: what I mean, like, how could he lose that? 397 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 2: It would draw a lot of interest. 398 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: It would be a big sort of you know, shot 399 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: in the chamber for PFL to use to try to 400 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: get that big attend. Next year's make or break for PFL. 401 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 1: They put a lot of money into Francis and Jake 402 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: and this pay per view super fight division, and. 403 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 2: They're gonna, you know, they're gonna get weird. 404 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to gonna get a little weird and 405 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: try some crazy matchups. They just signed Amanda Sar to 406 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: moonlight again in MMA. This would work, But I guess 407 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: it comes down to what can UFC offered Nake. Can 408 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: they offer him a multi fight deal in which each fight, 409 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: you know, the guarantee is multi millions. Where they're saying, 410 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: we know you can take that name elsewhere. We want 411 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: this counter fight. So here's a here's a three fight deal. 412 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: Make some fun fights for us, and we'll get the 413 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: number you know, to where to where it would have 414 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: been for that Jake fight. That's gonna be interesting to see. 415 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: I want to see how, like, do I have confidence 416 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: that PFL is gonna slide in and like legitimately compete 417 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: with UFC. No, No, but they're gonna they're gonna make 418 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: their mark, They're gonna make their staying, They're gonna, you know, 419 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: carve off some levels of attention. Will UFC counter promote 420 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: that counter program that I think we're gonna find out 421 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: here right? 422 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,239 Speaker 2: If they you know what I mean? 423 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: And I guess part of it too is Nate telling 424 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: Jake I'll only do it if my promotion is co 425 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: promoting in it. I'm sure the PFL could work that out. 426 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: I think it really does come down to the you 427 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: have seen what they could offer in response. 428 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 2: Interesting, But. 429 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: For a influencer fight that I didn't think we needed 430 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: at all, maybe maybe i'll it worked. It worked, it worked, 431 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: Let's see what we got next, Let's see if they 432 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: can continue it. 433 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 2: Jake is getting better, but. 434 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: Unless you can get that that that boxer, like if 435 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: you're getting to the point where you're running out of 436 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: these MMA names in these type of scenarios, and I 437 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: think the problem, the problem almost is is that Jake 438 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: got too good too fast, because at some points we 439 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: were talking about like bispaing coming out of retirement with 440 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: one eye in boxing him, you know, I mean, at 441 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: some point where we're you can't I can't believe that 442 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: Jake did escalate so quickly that by the time the 443 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,719 Speaker 1: Nate fight was made we were just sort of like, all, 444 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 1: Nate's gonna get dominated. He has no chance, but yeah, 445 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: to have the opponents for this to matter. So unless 446 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: Jake can find some Chavez junior types, right, like what's 447 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: the perfect pivot if you if you're running out of 448 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: MMA guys and you're looking for for you know, to 449 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: keep doing these boxing matches, it's the Tommy Fury types. 450 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: It's the guys who have the name, either the name 451 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: or have had success like a Chavez junior in the past, 452 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: but are damage brands that you could potentially take advantage of. 453 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: I mean, Anderson Silva went in there and out box 454 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: Chavez Junior. I'm not saying there's a big push in 455 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: the or want for suddenly Jake Paul against Javis Junior, 456 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: but that type of opponent is probably the right continued 457 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: escalation because if Jake, who's now what six and one, 458 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: you know, tried the real stamp of approval fight and 459 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: fought a you know, equal record prospect, I mean, he'd 460 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: get handled, and I think the Tommy Fury fight showed 461 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: us that. But there is a market here for Jake. 462 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: I give him that credit. He did it. We'll see 463 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: what happens on this rematch. I mean it's like it's hard, 464 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: Like I want to rightly give Jake a lot of praise. 465 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: He is evolving. I just gave him a lot of 466 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: praise there. But how much will the allure of money 467 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: in MMA and his role with PFL now, which really 468 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: hasn't you haven't seen much physical results of that this year. 469 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: It seems like everything for PFL again is pointing to 470 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: next year. What will that mean for Jake's boxing? Will 471 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: this be a hard full time pivot? I mean, we've 472 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: seen before in MMA how you can do creative matchmaking. 473 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: Think how Kimbo slice first came. I mean, look, Jake's 474 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: been doing We've compared it to Kimbo slices in the beginning, 475 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: Jake's been doing Kimbo slice type matchmaking and boxing. What 476 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: if they find the right people and he pivots there 477 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: and that becomes another line for him, or what if 478 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: that is eventually ww wherever he goes people around him 479 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: they seem to be smart enough they can get our attention. 480 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 1: And Jake's an interesting athlete. He turned out a lot 481 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 1: better than we thought he would have seriously turned out. 482 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: And he's got hard and and he gets after it 483 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: and it was enough to be thirty nine year old 484 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: old Nate Diaz. So in this world, in this realm, 485 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: once again, Jake Paul is king. Uh. He is welcoming 486 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 1: with the Tommy Fury rematch. So does that mean anything 487 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: in the larger Jake Ark do we really care? Is 488 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: it more just about one night entertainments without a big 489 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: arc connecting the pieces to future fights. Maybe tonight wasn't 490 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: that bad, But you know what, I gotta go to vacation. 491 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: I gotta go on vacation, like right now, like the second, 492 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 1: the second I had the spacebar here. 493 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 2: I'm on vacation. 494 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: Okay, I mean I'm wearing this this Jack Edge got 495 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: off of CBS Sports HQ. But you know I had 496 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: to do my Maya Kulpa video here right to tell 497 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: the people I was wrong. 498 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 2: You know, the fight didn't blow. Didn't blow, you know 499 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 2: what I mean. It was a weird broadcast. 500 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: Team in the end, though it was. It was interesting 501 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: the way that worked out. Forty was in the house 502 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: as well.
