1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: All right, So we are back on the way concept

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: presented by the Ring, and today they're actually gonna do this,

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: aren't they. They really are going to make Jake Paul

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: versus Anthony Joshua. And it's not just me saying this

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: as if I want this to happen, because I'm truly

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: like concerned that Jake Paul is gonna get his actual

7
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: head knocked off his shoulders. Now, now, how many people in

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: this comments section will be like, why is that a concern? Way,

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: that's what we want? Well, I think it's probably a

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: bad precedent, but boxing has already set a ton of

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: bad precedents, so it may not just be an idea,

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: it may be reality, and it may be sooner than

13
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: you think. What do I mean the breakdown? Let's go,

14
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 1: all right? So Niki Sabadarian, Jake Paul's manager and the

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: co founder of MVP, was on Sky Sports in the

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: UK today talk about a myriad of things, but the

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: main thing I wanted to cover today is obviously the

18
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: Jake Paul Anthony Joshua rumors and now potentially talk going

19
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: on for an actual fight. Like there's a difference between

20
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: Jake Paul saying I want to fight Anthony Joshua and

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: the rest of us kind of being like, uh, all right, bud.

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: Although I will say I know Jake's delusion, so I

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: know that when he says it, he actually will fight.

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: And I think this is the first time and Jake's

25
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: boxing career that his delusion will lead him to a

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: place that's gonna get him seriously injured. Honestly, this is

27
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: what I think. I don't understand why they want to

28
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: take this fight. Hopefully Nikisa can try to convince me

29
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: is to any reason. I'm out of that sweet sweet

30
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: den arrow aka money Akalla dollar bills, y'all. To me,

31
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: there is no feasible answer for this, and I think

32
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: it's really gonna get Jake hurt. And again, you know

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people will celebrate that, but I just

34
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: don't understand it. So let's take a look at what

35
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: Nikisa had to say.

36
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: I think the fight can absolutely happen. I'm looking at

37
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: it as Jake versus Joshua, which is quite biblical and

38
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: it's quite impactful in many ways.

39
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: All Right, So, first off, Nikisa says he looks at

40
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: this as Jake versus Joshua, and you know it has

41
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: biblical undertones. I don't know the biblical undertones of Jake

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: versus Joshua. I know Jacob is essentially Israel, I'm pretty

43
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: sure in the Bible, or it has something to do

44
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: with like the seed of Abraham. I'm not gonna act

45
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: like I'm a biblical historian, but I'm pretty sure I

46
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: remember from Sunday School growing up that Jacob is the

47
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: name given to I guess what would become Israel, and

48
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: then Joshua is like an assistant of Moses who leads

49
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: the Israelites at a certain point through Canaan. I think

50
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. Bible knowers let me know down below,

51
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure how if there was ever a

52
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: Jacob versus Joshua thing in the Bible, I know they

53
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: both had significance, but I'm not sure the connection there.

54
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 1: But then again, this could just be Nikisa saying Jake

55
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: is a side versus Anthony Joshua, and I don't really

56
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: know what to make of that. They would be a

57
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: massive fight, like if we're talking about who's a bigger

58
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: star in boxing. If they do it in the UK,

59
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Anthony Joshua. He is a draw there

60
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: like almost no boxer is here in America. I think

61
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: he's sold out ninety thousand a couple times out there.

62
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, but anyway, we keep going.

63
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 3: Get Anthony Joshua.

64
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: I think he is twenty eight and four if I'm

65
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: not mistaken, and two of his losses are against Alexander Usik.

66
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: Usik weighed in at two hundred and twenty pounds for

67
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: those fights. Jake is not Usick. A lot more years

68
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 2: of experience needed to get to that level, but Jake

69
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: walks around between two eight and two ten, and he

70
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: fought Mike Tyson at two hundred and twenty eight pounds,

71
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: So I think size wise we can get comfortable with it.

72
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: And I think experience wise, Jake is learning very fast

73
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: and growing, and Joshua is a little long in the tooth, So.

74
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: You know, I listen, I'm all for selling it for

75
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: your guy. But the reaches here to make any comparison

76
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: between Jake Paul and opponent's than Anthony Joshua has had

77
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: and also opponents Jake has had, this is like the

78
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: Kisa has grown go go gadget arms and he is

79
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: stretching to make these reaches. And again it's what he's

80
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: supposed to do. I get it right. If his client says, listen,

81
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: I want to fight Anthony Joshua, and the KISA says

82
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: that's probably not a good idea, and his client says, no,

83
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: I want to fight Anthony Joshua. You're not hearing me.

84
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: Make it happen. And there's really nothing that KISA can

85
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: do other than this. Do I think that he believes

86
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: Jake can win. I don't know. I don't think any

87
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: sane person believes Jake can win this fight. If you

88
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: have any frontal cortex brain matter, you probably think Jake

89
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: has less than one percent chance of winning this fight.

90
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: But at the same time, the kisa's doing what he's

91
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: supposed to do now as far as what he's saying.

92
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: Jake weighed in at two twenty eight to fight Mike Tyson.

93
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: Usik waded around two twenties to fight Anthony Joshua. He said,

94
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: Jake is clearly not usick, but he's getting experience and

95
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: Joshua was a little long in the tooth. Number one

96
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: Lex under Usa is one of the greatest boxers we've

97
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: ever seen. Cruisewade heavyweight two twenty is a little bit

98
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: more natural for him at his age to stay at heavyweight,

99
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: which is why he's there, but also his ability to

100
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: box allows him as an undersized heavyweight in this era.

101
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: Hunder in the seventies and the eighties is not an

102
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: undersized heavy one. George Forman in the seventies is two

103
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty something pounds. You know what I'm saying.

104
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: Muhammad al Leive was two sixteenth So in those days,

105
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: Usik's not undersized. But in the era of the bigger heavyweight,

106
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: the two hundred and fifty pound Anthony Joshua, the two

107
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: hundred and forty pound uh Daniel Dubois, the two hundred

108
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: and ninety pounds almost three hundred pound Tyson Fury, this

109
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: era of heavyweight is bigger in Usik even with those

110
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: bigger guys, able to still hurt them because of his

111
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: boxing ability, his speed, elusiveness, is footwork, all the things

112
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: that Jake just doesn't have, at least not anywhere close

113
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: to the level of being competitive with one of the

114
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: more athletic heavyweights. While no, he doesn't have the greatest feet,

115
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: but he has well enough feet to hang with Jake

116
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: Paul in a boxing ring. We're talking about Anthony Joshua. Here,

117
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: we're not talking about random heavyweight. Jake has sparred in

118
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: camp to get ready for fifty eight year old Mike Tyson.

119
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: And I just have to say this stuff because it's

120
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: you know, if the comparisons are going to be made,

121
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: I have to point at the holes in the argument

122
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: because that I don't even make them, they're just there,

123
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: which is that, Yeah, Okay, Jake was two hundred and

124
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: twenty eight pounds for the Mike Tyson fight, but it

125
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: was a two minute per round fight and they went

126
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: eight rounds. I know that that wasn't because of Jake,

127
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: but at the same time, he's not He shouldn't be

128
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: at two hundred and twenty eight pounds. Not great for

129
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: his body. Not that he can't hold the weight, but

130
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: if he's going to try to go long rounds against

131
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: a power, punching, way younger, fast, explosive heavyweight, you want

132
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: to call Anthony Joshua long in the tooth. Jake was

133
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: trying to hurt Mike Tyson at least early on in

134
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: that fight, and he couldn't do it. And that's fifty

135
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: eight year old Mike. And I'm not saying that at

136
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: a certain point Jake didn't let off the gas or whatever.

137
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: But I watched him in those first couple of rounds

138
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: and he was throwing haymakers, he was throwing kill shots

139
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: at Mike Tyson and he couldn't hurt him. I'm not

140
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: saying Jake can't knock people out or whatever he doesn't

141
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: have power. I think Jake does have some power. But

142
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: this is heavyweight we're talking about, and it's just you know,

143
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: we just watched him fight against uh Julio Sayser Chivez Junior,

144
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: and Chavez was protecting himself, clearly did not want to fight.

145
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: Apparently he was using it as a way to just

146
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: avoid ICE agents for a couple more days that it

147
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: turned himself in. But the point I'm making is Jake

148
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: can intimidate a guy like Chavez with his size, with

149
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: his speed, with his power and make him go, hey,

150
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe I don't want to fight this

151
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: kid and take any risk. Anthony Joshua is used to

152
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: fighting the bigger level of heavyweights, and it's fought the

153
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: most skilled heavyweight there is and in the second fight

154
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: looked a little better than some other guys have against

155
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: Usak Nikisa has to say what he has to say

156
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: to make this plausible to even talk about doing, let

157
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: alone starting to actually build toward the fight. But it's

158
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: just I don't see it.

159
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 4: Man.

160
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: Could be a very interesting matchup, and we're actively discussing

161
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: it with Matroum in.

162
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 4: Terms of those ads a discussion. So how far things progress?

163
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 5: Is it something that you can see happening next for

164
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 5: Jake and for AJ.

165
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: I think we're looking at it happening in Q one

166
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty six. Is kind of the current discussion.

167
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: I think it's public that Aj was taking a little

168
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: time away.

169
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: Think you got a little surgery.

170
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: So once he's ready, and once Jake is ready, we're

171
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: gonna squarely focus on that.

172
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: This is what I'm talking about, Dude, Like this has

173
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: gone past the point of, well, you know, we may

174
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: want it to happen. We even had Turkey Alla Shaik

175
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: saying listen, I'll make the fight. I'll put the fight

176
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: on because Turkey is so invested in it. He's so

177
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: sure that Anthony Josh was gonna beat Jake. He called

178
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: it a ninety nine percent to one percent fight because

179
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: he likes to put on fifty to fifty fights, right,

180
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: fights that people want to see fights that make the

181
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: most sense and are the most competitive. He's not even

182
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: trying to hide the fact that he thinks this is

183
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: a ninety nine to one and he wants it to happen.

184
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: So he's done with the Jake Paul problem. That's what

185
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: he said. I respect the honesty. And if you're looking

186
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: for AJ to have a build up fight, which is

187
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: what everybody's saying, fight to kind of get him back

188
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: on the horse before potentially finally hopefully going into the

189
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: Tyson Fury fight. Would you rather him fight Tony Yoka

190
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: or would you rather him fight an almost guaranteed win

191
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: in Jake Paul. I mean again, it's just it boggles

192
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: my mind that this can even happen.

193
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 6: How much of a worry is that we so hated

194
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 6: too and Gannon so.

195
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: Power is obviously the last thing to go. So obviously

196
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 2: AJ has a ton of and he's still fairly young.

197
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson much more vicious of a knockout artist than

198
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: Anthony Joshua, much older than AJ.

199
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 3: But that was a risk that Jake was willing to take.

200
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: No, Na, we just can't. We can't do these kind

201
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: of comparisons. You just can't Mike was fifty eight years old,

202
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 1: and yes, what Nikisa's saying is true when you add context,

203
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 1: which is in his prime or even fairly in the

204
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: back end of his prime and out of his prime,

205
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: like in the part of his life where he was

206
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: completely gone from boxing and gone to prison, come back

207
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: strung out, out of shape. Mike even then was probably

208
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: a naturally harder, vicious, knockout puncher than AJ has continued

209
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: to be. But that's not even what Mike is now.

210
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: We're talking twenty five years after that, twenty five years

211
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: after the worst parts of Mike Tyson as a professional.

212
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: AJ's not even as washed as Mike was at the

213
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: end of his career, like Mike was washed wak at

214
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: the end of his actual pro boxing run. It I mean,

215
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: he wasn't powerful. But the comparison being made is like

216
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson was anywhere near the threat that we're talking

217
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: about here. It wasn't even close. Like, yeah, Mike had

218
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: a shot of hurting Jake, and it was looked at

219
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: as somewhat competitive because of Mike's age. We don't look

220
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: at this fight as competitive because AJ is a bad

221
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: mother when his mind is in a boxing match. Now,

222
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: if he shows up like he showed up against Daniel Dubois,

223
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: or shows up like he showed up against Andy Ruiz

224
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: the second fight, even though he won the fight, it

225
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: was the most hesitant, just get through it type of fight.

226
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: If he shows up like that or you know, I

227
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: don't know, like the the USIK one fight, then yeah,

228
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: we may have a real issue here. Like if AJ's

229
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: not focused and he's just doing it whatever and often

230
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: la la land, then yeah they may have a problem

231
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: because Aj, when he's not locked in just four goes

232
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: all boxing and just wings it and bad shit happens

233
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: to him. But if he shows up with any ounce

234
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: of respect, any ounce of dignity, any ounce of just

235
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: I am going to prove that I'm a professional. And

236
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: you can't just walk into this sport and call out

237
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: a high level heavyweight as someone that's not even a

238
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: true heavyweight and think you're going to win, then he'll

239
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: absolutely flatline Jake. So when Akisa is saying stuff like, yeah,

240
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: you know, Jake knew going in there with Mike was

241
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: a risk, you're talking like a ninety five or ninety

242
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: six percent increase in risk now versus what you were

243
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: talking about against Mike Tyson, it's not even close.

244
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 2: Francis Longano amazing MMA fighter, very powerful man, not an

245
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: experienced boxer, right, A lot less experienced than Jake Paul.

246
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 2: So if people were comfortable with Francis getting in there

247
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 2: with AJ, Jake who is now thirteen fights in plus

248
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: one amateur fight, a lot less than AJ, but much

249
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: more than Francis Nngano, I think we're very comfortable with it. Ultimately,

250
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 2: it's not a fight that I want Jake to do.

251
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 3: It's a fight that Jake.

252
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 2: Wants to do, and that's a discussion we've had at length,

253
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: and he feels very confident about where he is in

254
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 2: his career and his chances of upsetting Anthony Joshua.

255
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, that end part is a fair point,

256
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: Like you know, Nikisa has to understand the words coming

257
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: out of his mouth, or like listen, I'm trying to

258
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: do my best to convince you guys of like why

259
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: Jake thinks he can win this fight. But I'm gonna

260
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: be the first to tell you I didn't want this

261
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: fight for I don't know how to even read that,

262
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: but I agree with that part to be like, hey, listen,

263
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: this is not my choice. In fact, I did not

264
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: want him fighting Anthony Joshua, but we talked and talked

265
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: and I tried to He's not saying it, but he's

266
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: like I tried to tell him, this is probably not

267
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: the best idea, tried to talk to him, maybe, tried

268
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: to talk him out of it, and Jake's just not budging.

269
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: But again, the comparisons are what I have to go

270
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: back to.

271
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 3: Here.

272
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: You're talking about Francis and Ganu, who, yes, should not

273
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: have been in a ring with Anthony Joshua as quick

274
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: as he was, shouldn't have been in a ring as

275
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: quick as he was with Tyson Fury either, But the

276
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: styles make matchups, and like Nikisa said, Francis is a

277
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: ridiculously strong puncher, a gifted athlete, a freak of nature. Now, yeah,

278
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: Jake has better skills, and he has more experienced, and

279
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: he has thirteen fights and all that's great, But the

280
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: same things that plagued Francis potentially and almost certainly can

281
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: plague Jake Paul is inexperience at heavyweight, not just in boxing,

282
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: but at heavyweight, and having to adjust with a man

283
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: like aj who is powerful and is a bit faster

284
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: than the other heavyweights outside of USA cracking you with

285
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: a shot that's set up that he actually uses his

286
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: jab to create. If AJ again shows up in any

287
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: kind of proper form and you get that Aj the

288
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: night he fought Francis, it's going to be a train ring.

289
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 6: Think about disrupting the sport and getting those eyeballs on it.

290
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 6: Jake versus AJ, or Jake versus Joshua, as you call

291
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 6: it at Wembley perhaps sounds pretty good to us. Would

292
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 6: that be the dream venue for a fight like that?

293
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 2: I think we're looking at multiple options. Wembley's definitely a possibility.

294
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 2: Jake has said he'd like to do it there. He

295
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: likes the idea of going in and hearing ninety thousand

296
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: people booing him. He kind of feeds off of that.

297
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 2: But we're looking at the US obviously. Saudi Arabia is

298
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 2: also an option in the Middle East as an option

299
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,599
Speaker 2: as a whole, but we want to do it in

300
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: the most impactful way possible.

301
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: Now listen again, this as a spectacle is going to

302
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: draw ridiculous amounts of viewership and for the spectacle of it,

303
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: because that's what we're agreeing to this being as we

304
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: go into it. Everybody knows this. It'll be an event,

305
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: it'll be a spectacle, it'll be must watch for reasons

306
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: that probably aren't usually the must watch reasons of boxing.

307
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: Just like Mike Tyson and Jake was, it was a

308
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: weird kind of circus clash and that's okay again, I'm

309
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: watching this shit. I'm intrigued by it. I want to

310
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: see and with Turkey Ola Shake if he's going to

311
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: be involved, and I know he said he wants to be,

312
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: I think the right idea is to do this in

313
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: the UK, do it in Andy Joshua's backyard, do it

314
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: at Wimbley R ninety thousand, eighty thousand, whatever it's going

315
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: to be. That's the story. And it really sucks to

316
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: me that it's not going to be Jake and Ksi

317
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: at Wimbley because that's really the story. That's the one

318
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: that honestly should have happened. For those that are not

319
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: familiar with the crossover influencer side, that's the fight that's

320
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: been on the books and off the books and should

321
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: have happened, and it could have happened and didn't happen.

322
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: But regardless, US versus UK always sells, and especially when

323
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: someone is hated as Jake by the UK audience comes

324
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: into their backyard and they have a guy that they

325
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: love and Anthony Joshua. It's a recipe he made in

326
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: Boxing Spectacle Heaven. I guess all right, So that's the

327
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: Kisa talking about the fight. Now, if that wasn't enough

328
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: to convince you that this thing is probably going to

329
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: happen more likely than not, I'm saying, I mean, if

330
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm putting percentages on it, unless AJ's team and I

331
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: saw Ben Davidson. I don't know if he's still coaching AJ,

332
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: but I know he was AJ's coach talking about he

333
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: didn't want to see AJ do that. He doesn't he

334
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: would rather AJ take more credible fights. And that's also

335
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: a fair point and one that a lot of people

336
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: are also going to hang on to and say, yeah,

337
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: we would rather see him fight Tony Yoka or somebody else.

338
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: I have to wait, Yce in fury. I don't know

339
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: whoever else outside of something like that happening. I'm putting

340
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: this at like a seventy thirty thing. And again, these

341
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: are just my percentages. The way this conversation's going, the

342
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: way if you read in between the lines of what

343
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: AJ's saying. By by the way, what Eddie Hearn is

344
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: saying about you know, yeah, we'll sign it. Yeah, let's

345
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: do it right now. Yeah, they want it. Jake wants it.

346
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't think Nikisa actually, I don't know if that's

347
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: something that he wants. But he's gonna do right by

348
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: his client, or at least do what his client's asking

349
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: him to do. And then you have this, which again

350
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: just is more ammo, more fuel to the fire for me.

351
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: This was I think on Instagram. I'm assuming this was

352
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: from the Sky Sports interview. Some random on Instagram commented

353
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: underneath it instead, imagine losing to Tommy Fury then thinking

354
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: you have a chance to upset Joshua, which is a

355
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: fair point. I mean, Jake fought Tommy Fury at what

356
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty five pounds and lost. That was

357
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: a long time ago. Jake's had a lot of experience

358
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: since then, xyz. But you can see why the idea

359
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: of him beating Joshua is fucking insane to most people

360
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: with a brain. But Nikisa don't like Random's coming at

361
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: his boy like that, so he comments underneath it. Imagine

362
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: being twenty eight buying a home for forty million freaking

363
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: massive flex pocket watch to the I don't even know

364
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: if Jake an noowsd it was of forty million dollar home,

365
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: putting on the biggest event in women's boxing history, fighting

366
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: in the most viewed boxing event since Ali, and then

367
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: fighting AJ soon after. Oh actually, don't imagine it, Jake

368
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: Paul did it. So again, I don't know how many

369
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: of you guys talk like this when you're just wondering

370
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: about a fight, when you're just negotiating about a fight,

371
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: when you're just in talks about a fight, saying things like,

372
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: imagine you were fighting in the biggest most viewed boxing

373
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: event since Ali, then fought AJ soon after. Oh wait,

374
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: don't imagine it, Jake Paul did it. This is almost

375
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: a guarantee. Like maybe Nicky's getting ahead of himself a

376
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: little bit and just adding things in to hit back

377
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: at a troll, But that seems like almost a freaking

378
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: done deep that seems like they're they're this is what's

379
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: gonna be happening. So again, I'm not trying to over exaggerate.

380
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to read too much into stuff. I'm

381
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: literally just reading the words that are in front of

382
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: me and listening to what's being said, I can't believe it.

383
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: But they're actually gonna do this shit. This is insane.

384
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: They're going to do this fight. I think it's a

385
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: bad idea for Jake. I do and I'm not even

386
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: trying to like shit on the fight because again I'm

387
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: gonna wat but I just think it's it's there's a

388
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: no win situation outside of money, and sure it'll be

389
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: a big event. But if Jake's goals are to be

390
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: a world champion, which okay, we'll see, I'm still bearish

391
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: on that. But if that's the goal outside of the

392
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: putting on the big events thing, how do you get

393
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 1: to that? If you don't get past aj and he

394
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: really does a number on you, I have no idea.

395
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: And again, is the money worth that kind of risk

396
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: to not only this fight but the future. I don't

397
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,959
Speaker 1: think so. But comment section, you tell me if I'm crazy.

398
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: It seems like it's starting to tilt one way. What

399
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: was kind of a joke or at least seem like

400
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: that only a few months ago, is now starting to

401
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: become reality again. I said it, just like Eddie Hearn did,

402
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: someone could get very badly hurt, and I don't think

403
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: it'll be aj looks like this fight's gonna happen. So

404
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: you guys, let me know what you think. What's the

405
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: percentage you put on this fight actually happening, and if

406
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: it does, what happens in it. I don't have those

407
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I kind of do. I think everybody it does.

408
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: Jake's probably gonna get hurt really badly, but we don't know,

409
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: not for sure, until they finalize this thing or until

410
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: things actually get set in place. So is Jake gonna

411
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: fight Anthony Joshua? I think so, but I don't have

412
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: those answers, so I guess we'll find Folks. We are

413
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: back on the Way concept presented by The Ring Magazine

414
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: with Breaking news today. Well it's about a day old now,

415
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: but still breaking news. Chris hu Banks Junior and Connor

416
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: beIN are set to rematch and it just got announced,

417
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: so we have to talk about it the breakdown. Let's go,

418
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: oh all right, So here it is from The Ring Magazine.

419
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: Breaking Ring Magazine has learned Sella completed the deal for

420
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: the highly anticipated Chris Eubank Junior versus Connor beIN rematch

421
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: on November fifteenth in Tottenham Stadium. The event will be

422
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: presented as the Ring Unfinished Business, not gonna lie. They

423
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: kind of did finish the businesses the first time around.

424
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean Christy Bank Junior won, but it was a

425
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: great fight. It was probably fight of the year or

426
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: one of the fights of the year what we've seen

427
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: this year in twenty twenty five. But that being said,

428
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: it was interesting and there was always supposed to be

429
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: a rematch clause, so we're running it back. Also, the

430
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: event will be promoted by Sela and sponsored by Riad

431
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: Season and The Ring Magazine. Here is the article. First

432
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: it was off, then on, then off again. Now the

433
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: rematch between at Christian Bank Junior and connor Bin is

434
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: officially back on. The Ring has learned. The deal to

435
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: see them run it back from their April twenty six

436
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: showdown was completed through Sella on Tuesday. They will have

437
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: approximately three months to prepare for their sequel to take

438
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: place on November fifteenth in Tottenham Stadium in the United Kingdom. Right,

439
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: so this is interesting because we didn't know we were

440
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: gonna get this, it looked like because they were originally

441
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: supposed to have the rematch in September and that was

442
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: gonna be set in stone. That was how it was

443
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: going to go. And then christ yu Bank Junior's team,

444
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: I guess wasn't on board or he wasn't on board,

445
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: and they couldn't get the deal done. So it looked

446
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: like we were moving on. You know, Connor Ben stay

447
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: at one forty seven, potentially looking to fight big fight.

448
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: It's at one forty seven, Ryan Garcia out there, who knows.

449
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: And then for Chris Ubank Junior, we didn't really know

450
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: is he gonna fight again, is he gonna hang him up?

451
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: Is he gonna look to move back to one sixty

452
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: eight and try to compete at a higher level there,

453
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: And we just didn't get any answers, you know, we

454
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: just we we really did not know. So having this

455
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: thing back on is great. Like I wouldn't have minded it.

456
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: They moved on from it. But this is great. You know, rematch,

457
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: a highly contested fight the first time around, tons of

458
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: drama leading into the fight, and you know, we do

459
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: have to talk about a lot of that. It's not

460
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: said here. In fact, on the website at the end

461
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: of the article, it says that it is unclear if

462
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: the rematch will once again take place at one hundred

463
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: and sixty pounds, but it's believed that the way in

464
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: terms will remain the same. This is gonna be obviously

465
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: something very controversial for people because the first fight was

466
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: already controversial, a lot of people thinking Chris Hubang Junior

467
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: shouldn't still be fighting at one hundred and sixty pounds

468
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: because it looks like it's a pretty tough weight cut

469
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: for him. And then because this is not a natural

470
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: hundred seat pounder in Connor Benn. Then you also have

471
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,239
Speaker 1: the rehydration clause from the first fight that was a

472
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: massive controversy, so much so that chrisian Bank Junior actually

473
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: missed weight. Uh it was a half of a pound

474
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: or a half of a half of a pound, I'm

475
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 1: not exactly sure the number, but he missed and it

476
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: cost him five hundred thousand dollars. That was insane the

477
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: first time around. And again the rehydration clause makes it

478
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: very difficult on I guess he'll be thirty five, maybe

479
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: thirty six year old. Chris u Bank clearly is not

480
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: a natural one sixty anymore. But then again you have

481
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: Connor beIN coming up from one forty seven. He's not

482
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: supposed to be fighting at one sixty and it's just

483
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a weird fight. It is as

484
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: far as like trying to make it. It's an odd one.

485
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: But I can't lie to you if I I want

486
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: to see it, right, I do want to see the rematch.

487
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: I thought both men looked great in the first fight.

488
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: I thought Chris Hubank Junior pulled out a gutsy performance

489
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: and was able to withstand some nasty, I mean, earth

490
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: shattering punches from Connor Ben. People talking about his power

491
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: not carrying up to one sixty. It may not again

492
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: to other people, but against Christian Bank Junior, he was

493
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: lighting him up with some of those shots, and u

494
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: Bank not only weathered the storm, but hit him back

495
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: with even more big shots and then outclassed him on

496
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: the way to a victory. So it is up to

497
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: connor Ben to change the tide here in the rematch.

498
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go ahead and say this because it's

499
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: at one sixty, because I've now seen the first fight

500
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: and the skill gap was not as big as I

501
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: thought it would potentially be. If connor Ben was gonna

502
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: be outmatched, he was. He was outclassed, out boxed in

503
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: that fight, but the skill gap wasn't bigger than the

504
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: amount that connor Ben can make up for, or you know,

505
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: maybe a better approach, maybe a more technical approach, a

506
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: more set up approach, because throughout the fight, all we

507
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: watched was connor Ben throw hammers. There was not a

508
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: lot of set up punching from connor Ben. There was

509
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: a lot of hooks, right hands, straight punches, gab right hand,

510
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: but there wasn't a lot of faint jab right ann

511
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of double jab right hand. Wasn't a

512
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: lot of jab work really in total from connor Been

513
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: the first time around. And I'm gonna be honest, I

514
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: don't know if we be able to see much different

515
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: from Chris you Bank Junior in the rematch. I don't

516
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: know that there's much that he can show us in

517
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: a rematch that we didn't already see from him. And

518
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm not he won the fight. He could probably do

519
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: what he did in the first fight and still win.

520
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: But I just think that the ceiling is kind of

521
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: what we saw from Christian Bank Junior. I don't know

522
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: that he has much more to push past what we saw,

523
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: or I don't know if he didn't have his greatest

524
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: night of fighting. He probably could have boxed more and

525
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: traded less. If we want to say, you know what's

526
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: a more safe route for Chris, you Bank Junior, and

527
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: one that again him being the more technically skilled. It

528
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: looked like in the first fight, and that's how he won.

529
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: Maybe in a rematch he's more safe and stays behind

530
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: his jab and doesn't look to engage as much and

531
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: plays more defense and you know, drags out a decision.

532
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: That way definitely could be the case, or just out

533
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: boxes connor Ben. It doesn't take as many risks because

534
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: he took some unnecessary risks. I mean, I mean, I

535
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: don't know if you even want to call him unnecessary,

536
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: because those things needed to have for connor Ben to

537
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: get stopped in his tracks a little bit and for

538
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: Chris Junior to gain some respect and be able to

539
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: have some offense. He needed to stop the wild swings.

540
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: He needed to stop the big time power of Connor

541
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: Ben and sit in the pocket with him, you know,

542
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: not all the fight, but multiple times to re establish

543
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: that it was his fight. To slow connor Ben down,

544
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: to back him off and take center of the ring again.

545
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: He had to do a little bit of that. So

546
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: this time around, will we see much different from you Bank?

547
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: I just don't know that there's much different he can bring. Yeah,

548
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: he can box you on the front foot, box you

549
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: on the back foot, sit down in the pocket. But

550
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: think that's what he kind of already did the first

551
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: time around. Again, maybe more defensive. We'll see. But I'm

552
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you guys when I think about

553
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: this fight way too early, because again we're about three

554
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: months away. The same factors that worried you in the

555
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: first fight for Chris Ubank Junior, even though he won,

556
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: are gonna be the same ones that worry you again

557
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: in this rematch. I think out of the two of them, yeah,

558
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: I mean Connor Benn going to one sixties, not his

559
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: natural weight class, he shouldn't be there either. But out

560
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: of the two of them, the person that's gonna be

561
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: more compromised that that way is probably Chris Youubank Junior,

562
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: not even probably is Chris Hubang Junior because of again

563
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: the amount of weight he's cutting and the rehydration clause.

564
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: It's hard to put weight on, for sure, but depriving

565
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: yourself of water and cutting weight and then depriving yourself

566
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: for water longer do you hydrating yourself? You know, it's

567
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: just not I mean, we saw he got he's probably

568
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: getting in trouble with the British Boxing Board of Control

569
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: for the sauna suit and him showing how the weight

570
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: cut affected it. It's one of the worst practices in

571
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: combat sports. I've said it for so long now, but

572
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: it's just it is what it is. Weight cutting is

573
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: definitely a deterrent. More so I think especially in this matchup,

574
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: because I don't see Chris you Bank having the power

575
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 1: to do much in terms of shaking Connor Bin at

576
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: least we didn't see that in the first fight. I

577
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: think he's the one that's going up against the eight

578
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 1: ball again more than Connor Ben. I think he's sacrificing more.

579
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: But with that being said, this is why I think,

580
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: and again way too early prediction, I'm gonna go Connor

581
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: Ben again. I picked him in the first fight and

582
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: again he was moments away from having some big time

583
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: success and you hurt Chris Huban Junior with a couple

584
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: of punches there, but for the most part, you Bank

585
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: Junior ran away with it and the ol boxed him

586
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: and Connor Binn I thought didn't have a solid approach

587
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: to landing his big time power because it was all

588
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: power shots. It was all Haymakers for the entirety of

589
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,479
Speaker 1: the fight. There was no speed in defense transition. There

590
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: was no let me take some speed off of this

591
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: one and use it as a range finer than by

592
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: Bajam and speed it back up and add some power

593
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: to it. It was just hammers. And I think he

594
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: knows and in a rematch, if he can do a

595
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: little bit different, if you can make some adjustments to

596
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: his game and keep that same tenacity and keep that

597
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: same power and keep that same ferociousness forward and trying

598
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: to take center of the ring and take the fight

599
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: to Chris you Bank Junior. I think he's got a

600
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: great chance of win in this fight, and I'm gonna

601
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: pick him to win this fight here. I don't know.

602
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: I just think there's more opportunity for him to grow.

603
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: He is the younger fighter, less experience, but that fight

604
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: gave him a ton of experience and now he knows

605
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: the size isn't a big deal and it's not something

606
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: where he's overmatched size wise. Yeah, Chris you Bank Junior

607
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,479
Speaker 1: can take some of his punches better than a one

608
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: forty seven pounder could, but he still rocked him with

609
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: big time shots. And again, I just think a tweak

610
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: and how he approaches the offense and a bit of

611
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: more head movement defense, a bit more slipping punches, encountering

612
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: off ERSU is trading in the pocket for Connor Benn

613
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: will will lead him to the promised land here. And

614
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: I just think there's too many things that Chris you

615
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: Bank Junior. He's up against the eight ball with the

616
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: weight cut, the age, the hydration, the damage from the

617
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 1: first fight. He took some real damage. Both guys did,

618
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 1: but it looked like Chris you Bank Junior took more damage.

619
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 1: I mean, the good thing for you Bank Junior is

620
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: that he's felt probably the most that he could probably

621
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: feel as far as power from Connor Benn. He's felt

622
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: what it's like to get hit with a real flush shot.

623
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he got clipped a couple different times, so

624
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: he knows kind of what to look out for. And

625
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: again he may fight a more defensive, safe fight this

626
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: time around, but I'm leaning Connor Ben and I know

627
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: people aren't gonna like that pick, but I just think

628
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: there's too many things going against Chris you Bank Junior

629
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: in this rematch, and Connor Ben has some stuff going

630
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: against him too, I guess with the weight, but everything else,

631
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: the youth, the speed, the power he has that he

632
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: just needs to be able to box a little better.

633
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: And that's the big question of how this fight will go.

634
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: Because the boxing experience and the technical skill right now

635
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: clearly go to Chris you Bank Junior. I do think

636
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: Connor Bin can make up a little bit of that

637
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: gap and fight a bit of a smarter fight this

638
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: time around. That's just my initial thoughts on the fight.

639
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: I do wonder how this is gonna go. You know,

640
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,719
Speaker 1: they both still don't like each other, mutual respect from

641
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: the first fight, and the first fight with such a banger.

642
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how easy it's gonna be for the

643
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: second fight to live up to it. Like it's gonna

644
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: be really difficult to replicate that night. The moment here

645
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: comes Chris you Bank Senior. He's in the corner. After

646
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: being against the fight for months and months, and that

647
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: whole thing, and again the fathers of the two sons

648
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: being there, history repeats itself, that whole deal. I don't

649
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: know if the hype is going to deliver like it

650
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: did in the first fight, But if it comes anywhere

651
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: close and they just have another good scrap, then this

652
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: is well worse for the fan. Again, a massive risk

653
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: for both fighters because they're fighting at weights they normally

654
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't be at anymore. And I do wonder how Chris

655
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,959
Speaker 1: you Bank Senior sees this. Ultimately, he came around and

656
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: was there on fight night. Whether you want to believe

657
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: that was because it was a work or because he

658
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: just wanted to be there for his son or whatever, right,

659
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: he was there. But this time they've knowingly done the

660
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: first one. What does he think about this one?

661
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 3: Right?

662
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: And I know Nigel Ben will be there for Connor,

663
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: we know that. But yeah, when I talked to Connor

664
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: when when we were in New York, he was dead

665
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: set on doing the rematch, and it was like there

666
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: was no doubt in his mind that he was gonna

667
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: win it. And then he also had some other ideas

668
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: for one forty seven. So it has to be now

669
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: for Connor Ben, for Chris you Bank Junior, and for

670
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: this rematch, it has to be now because again you

671
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: Bank Junior is getting older. Connor Ben needs to get

672
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: his one forty seven career back on track. He needs

673
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: to go back down and really if he wants to

674
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: be a world champ, get more experienced down there against

675
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: top level guys. But if they were gonna do it,

676
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: now is the time. You couldn't really wait till the

677
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: end of the year because then you're really starting to

678
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: put a distance between both guys and what they're trying

679
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: to do in their perspective careers. But listen, this one's

680
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: gonna be controversial. I'm not gonna lie to you and

681
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: say that that there's not disadvantages on both sides and

682
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: that it is a bit of an odd fight for

683
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,479
Speaker 1: both guys, but it was the first time and it

684
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: created match. I'm also not gonna lie and say I'm

685
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: not excited for this, because I am. I am excited

686
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: for it. I'm sorry, I do want to watch a

687
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: rematch between the two. Even though we did get a

688
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: definitive first fight, it was a good back and forth

689
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: and Connor bid did show a good fight. Chris hu

690
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: Bank Junior did everything he did to put Ben back

691
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: in his spy and showcase his ability. I just think

692
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: this time around it's gonna be a different story because

693
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: this time around, Connor Beinn's gonna win it again two

694
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: early predictions and I'm a flip flop, but for now

695
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm all un steady. I think Connor gets him this

696
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: time around, for the youth, for speed and power, for now,

697
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: the experience of being in there at that way against

698
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: Chris Hubank Junior. I think he has more ways to

699
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: get better and less things to overcome than Chris Hubank

700
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: Junior to get this one done in the second time around.

701
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if that sets up a trilogy. I

702
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: have no idea, but I do want to see this fight.

703
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: I am excited for this fight. It is back Chris

704
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: Ubank Junior Connor been the rematch, and it's gonna be

705
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: in Tottenham Stadium again, which the turnout was incredible for

706
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: last time. I was there live myself and my guy

707
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: true Jeordi. So I don't know exactly how that'll look

708
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: this time around. I don't know what the undercard is

709
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: gonna look like this time around, but they had a

710
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: great one in the first especially my boy that al Riley.

711
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: Can he get on that undercard and get his fight

712
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: again in his home stadium in Tottenham, I have no idea,

713
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: And also who wins think the way it will be

714
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: one sixty. I don't know for sure. And Chris you

715
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: Bank Senior, will he be there? Nigel the whole thing. Listen.

716
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: I only have questions right now, but we do have

717
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: one answer, and that is the rematch is official. What

718
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: do you think about this fight? Let me go down below.

719
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: And as far as who wins on the night, don't

720
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: have those answers either, but I guess we'll find out

721
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: all right, folks, we are Bad on the Way concept

722
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: presented it by The Ring magazine, and today I am

723
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: taking a look at the face to face that went

724
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: down almost a week ago. Now I don't know how

725
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: I didn't see this, but I definitely missed it between

726
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: Salt Poppy and Tony Ferguson for Misfits twenty two what

727
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: do they call? I forgot what it's called. I'm working

728
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: the card King of Thrones, Ring of Thrones. I'm sorry

729
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: I should have known that. But Ring of Thrones it's

730
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: going down Ao Arena. It features dar until Luke Rockhold

731
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: in the main event. We're gonna take a look at

732
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: the face off for the co main event between Tony

733
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: Ferguson Salt Poppy. It also has Dylan Danis versus Warren

734
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: the Mechanic Spencer and Misfits first fourier into MMA. Today,

735
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: I want to get into the face to face that

736
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: happened between Super Salt Poppy and Tony Ferguson because listen,

737
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: this fight is interesting for multiple reasons. I want to

738
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: see if there's any mental games being played or whatever

739
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: else we can take away from Tony Ferguson's mindset. Really

740
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: just want to see where Tony's mind is because I

741
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: think I know where Salt Poppy is. I know what

742
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: he's going to bring to this fight when he's super dangerous.

743
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: But I want to see what does Tony Ferguson have.

744
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 1: What is he thinking is going to be different this

745
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: time around in boxing versus you know what's going on

746
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: with him in MMA and the age experience, wear and

747
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: tear all that. Let's take a look. But before we do,

748
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 1: I want to say a big thank you to the

749
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: sponsor of today's video. And one of the coolest things

750
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: I've ever done is being the snack Down Champ with Drumstick. Guys,

751
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,439

00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: got to go to MetLife Stadium. It was awesome and

755
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: it was all thanks to America's favorite snacks since nineteen

756
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: twenty eight, Drumstick. Drumstick allowed me to come out and

757
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 1: showcase their snack to the world, and again it was

758
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: awesome because I got to show people what it meant

759
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: to partake in the best snack in the world and

760
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,080

Speaker 1: sweet treat. Day two, we actually got to go into

Speaker 1: the stadium. That's right. I got to go ringside at

784
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: into the face to face face. Let's see what happened,

785
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 1: all right, So let's check us out. Tony Ferguson saw

786
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: Poppy face to face with our guy Bale running the show.

787
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: Let's see what happened.

788
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 7: This dude made that walk. I'm making the walk for

789
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 7: my first time. You have a fights and I have zero.

790
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 7: Everybody's underwriting me. They're they're saying he gonna knock me

791
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 7: out and everything ninety percent. Tony, You're fighting a fucking influt.

792
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: If we're gonna get to Tony Ferguson math again, ninety percent. Also,

793
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 1: they were supposed to they're supposed to be using these

794
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: subtitles to say what he actually said. Tony keeps saying

795
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: people are underwriting him. I think he means to say

796
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: that people are underestimating him for this fight. I'm not

797
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: sure who's Tony's underwriter, but I don't I don't know

798
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: that he understands what that word means.

799
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 8: Everybody's underwriting me.

800
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: There, they even said underestimated. They got you, Tony, those

801
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: cap sh saved.

802
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 7: You mean they're saying he gonna knock me out and everything.

803
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 7: Ninety percent, Tony, you're fighting a fucking influence. So there

804
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 7: goes the other twenty percent, but all fucking negative.

805
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 1: He did it again, not even into the video. It's

806
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,439
Speaker 1: just a preview, and Tony is saying that ninety again.

807
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,439
Speaker 1: Someone needs to get with Tony Ferguson and let him

808
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: know that ninety percent plus twenty percent is not one

809
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: hundred percent, it's one hundred and ten. Maybe he just

810
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: thinks one hundred and ten percent is how his life is, right,

811
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten percent effort, one hundred and ten

812
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 1: percent of fans, one hundred and ten percent of profit.

813
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: I don't know he Tony has got his own way

814
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: of doing things, so maybe it's just, you know, his

815
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: inner working's coming out.

816
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 7: Any person has got the fucking balls to walk through

817
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 7: the door and to stay there is a fucking fighter, bro.

818
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go walk through an August thirtyth then I'm

819
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 7: gonna handle everything that I need to go and get

820
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 7: that victory.

821
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 5: Have you watched any of its fights? And what do

822
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 5: you make of him?

823
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 4: Dangerous? I'm dangerous, so you know this is your biggest smile.

824
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say we're thirty two seconds in. I don't

825
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: know is this like a preview because Salt has said nothing,

826
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: which again I don't expect him to say anything, but

827
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: like Tony is carrying right now. Also, Tony's pants look

828
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: like like football pants with like thigh pads of them.

829
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 5: I love it, Tony, So it's a pleasure see you both.

830
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 5: To be honest, I'm so surprised I'm seeing this face

831
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 5: off right now when.

832
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I don't even know Saul Poppy's

833
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: actual name. That's crazy. I've known him for like five

834
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: years now, and I don't know his name. I'm the

835
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: asshole in this situation, but just hearing Tony so I

836
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 1: don't know his name.

837
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 4: It's got announced.

838
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 5: I had to double check, I had to refresh, I

839
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 5: think the whole world of refreshing because they didn't believe

840
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 5: this was gonna happen. So so I'm actually gonna come

841
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 5: to you first. When you got that phone call from

842
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 5: Mam Taylor to say you were fighting this man, that

843
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 5: you will fight a former UFC interim champion, what was

844
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 5: your reaction to that?

845
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 9: I mean, I were shock, like I really can't be

846
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 9: there because and obviously not a lot of people get

847
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 9: this type of opportunity, and so I'm like, I'm so

848
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 9: grateful for Misfit Boxing for giving me this fight, big fights,

849
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 9: back to back, and yeah, when when I heard that

850
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 9: I was gonna fight Tony Ferguson, there's there's something I

851
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 9: couldn't say. Now I'm gonna be sharing that with a legend,

852
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 9: legendary fighter, and yeah, I can wait.

853
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 4: That's it. I'm toning. I ask you the same question

854
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 4: when you've got the crew.

855
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: Misfits does clearly think of Salt Poppy as like a superstar.

856
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: You look at his social numbers, they're ridiculous, Like he

857
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: does have a high level of social interaction. He's got charisma,

858
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: he's got swagger, he can fight, So they look at

859
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: him as someone that can take over the mantle potentially,

860
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,919
Speaker 1: you know, to some degree with I think it's gonna

861
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: be more than one person that's gonna have to fill

862
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: the void of KSI when he stops fighting. But so

863
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: Poppy they look at as one of those guys. Even

864
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: after the Slim loss, even after the Anthony Taylor loss,

865
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: they look at him as a guy to lead whatever

866
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: they're going toward in the next two three years. So yeah,

867
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he keeps getting these massive opportunities because he

868
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: does deliver, even in losses. He delivers fun fights. So

869
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: they clearly see him as a star, which is why

870
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: he's gotten this opportunity.

871
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 5: And he said, you're fighting Salt Poppy. Did you even

872
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 5: know who Salt Poppy was?

873
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 4: Daniel, right, Nathan, Nathan, Tony.

874
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: Nathan Okay, I forgot, yes, he's he's told me his

875
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: name before. He said Daniel, Me and Tony bo. Look

876
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: at the respect from Tony years. I didn't know when

877
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: it goes in Nathan Okay, all right, we do it.

878
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: Salt Poppy is a good stage name right.

879
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 7: To the YouTube and it goes into influencers and TikTok.

880
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 7: I don't have anything against it. I'm gonna be real.

881
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 7: I wasn't competing when everybody was doing everything. I was

882
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 7: saved it for when it really mattered like now, which

883
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 7: is pretty cool. So I mean nothing against you. I

884
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 7: really don't know, but I know you have what a fights,

885
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 7: a fight style. You have a fights and I have zero.

886
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 7: This is my pro debut. I was never allowed to box,

887
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 7: so it's different. And MMA it's different. We have no

888
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 7: shoes in MMA and we have to worry about takedowns,

889
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 7: so now it's different.

890
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 8: It's not opportunity for me to be able.

891
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 7: To go in there play another sport, come from multi

892
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 7: sport background when it comes to that way. So it's

893
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 7: awesome as soon as I got the phone call to

894
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 7: be able to box. Nothing against GFL that's still there,

895
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 7: but I don't Indians stay busy.

896
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 8: I like I like the fight. I like to come.

897
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody needs to let Tony know,

898
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: but GFL is not still there. Sorry, don like you

899
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: know I know that Tony was supposed to be one

900
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: of the big signees at GFL, and I think he

901
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: was even supposed to fight Dylan Danis. I'm not sure,

902
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: but someone has to let Tony know that shit is

903
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 1: not happening. That ship has not only sailed, it set

904
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 1: sail and crashed immediate nobody's protecting their neck at GFL.

905
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: It's not happening, dude.

906
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 7: And this dude went from a lot of big heavyweight

907
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 7: all the way down to where he's at. And I

908
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 7: don't think a lot of people give social media influencers

909
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 7: a lot of credit because in athletes.

910
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,720
Speaker 1: Now, sorry, I gotta stop again. What did Dylan say

911
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: in my interview about what Salt Poppy was? Because Tony's

912
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, Salt Poppy losing weight and he

913
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: started at heavyweight now he's come down to I think

914
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: they're fighting at like one sixty one seventy. I'm not sure,

915
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 1: but when I asked Dylan White wasn't fighting Tony, he said, Tony,

916
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: Tony's fighting someone that started fat to skinny. Don't even

917
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 1: know what Tony's doing. Let's find someone that started fat

918
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 1: to skinney. Dylan's the man I know y'all hate him,

919
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: but he's a goat.

920
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 7: Dude in my opinion, and we're gonna go in there.

921
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 7: He's gonna try to hit me. I'm gonna so it's

922
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 7: gonna go out there.

923
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 4: Have you watched any of its fights?

924
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 3: Of course?

925
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 4: What do you make of them? Salpa dangerous?

926
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 8: I'm dangerous.

927
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 4: Can he cause you any issues?

928
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 8: Not unless I want him to?

929
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 4: How about you? You've seen seeing his fight?

930
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. Salt Poppy can cause Tony

931
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: some issues, regardless if he wants him to or not.

932
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 1: I don't think Tony has taken him lightly. I don't

933
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: really know what the last thing you want to do,

934
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: especially when you come over as an MMA guy to boxing.

935
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: We've talked about it in NASA. To take these guys

936
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: lightly because they haven't trained as long in martial arts,

937
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: or they're not as committed to the sports as some

938
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: of these high level veterans were or are, is a mistake. Again,

939
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Tony's doing this, but sal Poppy has power,

940
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: the speed, the timing to cause Tony some real problem.

941
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 1: And yeah, Tony can can be dangerous for sure. You know, uh,

942
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: whatever he's got left, I don't know. We'll see, but

943
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: out of the two of them in a boxing ring,

944
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,479
Speaker 1: I am leaning to it, not even leaning. I am

945
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: fully thinking that salt is.

946
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 9: I've seen a lot of his fights, Like you know, Yes,

947
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 9: it's a big step up for me, it's a big

948
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 9: challenge for me. But yeah, this will prove that I'm

949
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 9: ready for the big challenge, like Tony.

950
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 5: Have you seen the online reaction to this as well?

951
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 5: I mean it's been going all over Twitter. This is

952
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 5: really you said he's gonna knock me out?

953
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 9: Yes, I just like, I just can't believe what defense

954
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 9: is saying because look at you, sick thirty eight, forty six,

955
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 9: Tony is only forty one. It's gonna be strong as hell,

956
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 9: and I'm gonna have to like you and I'm gonna

957
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 9: be struggling.

958
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 3: Yeah for sure.

959
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, that converison don't work many pakyaw at forty six,

960
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: that was an anomaly that was insane to see. By

961
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: the way, a lot about how good Manny was as

962
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,720
Speaker 1: a boxer eight division world champion, not an MMA fighter

963
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: that's forty one, that's already declining in his own sport,

964
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: and declined in his own sport to then come over

965
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: and start boxing. You're talking about Manny pak Yao, who

966
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: even at the end of his career was still fighting,

967
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: you know, losing some fights, but fighting at around the

968
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: top level, and then came back and fought Mario Barrios

969
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: is probably one of the worst champions in boxing, but

970
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 1: still I thought won the fight. Was sick at thirty

971
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,720
Speaker 1: eight again, been boxing all his life, is a world

972
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: class probably one of the best boxers you've ever seen.

973
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: So to act like, oh yeah, I can't believe the

974
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: fans were saying Tony's gonna get slept when Tony has

975
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: never boxed and he's forty one and he's on like

976
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: a seven fight losing streak in MMA, that's insane. I

977
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: want Salt to address though, and Tony's like, yeah, you

978
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: said you gonna knock me out. Say it to him.

979
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: Salt loves to talk like talk in the ring. He

980
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: will talk his shit in the ring. But this one,

981
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 1: he even said he's gonna knock Tony out. I want

982
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: to see him, you know, yeah, I A'm gonna knock

983
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: you out. Yeah, yeah, here's why. But he's not he's

984
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: not addressing that. I want to see him address though.

985
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 7: He says that knock me out, so I've got fuel

986
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 7: for the fire to be able to train for the

987
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 7: last four years in MMA, like when Kobeebe and Connor

988
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,760
Speaker 7: never wanted to fight because those fucking guys are pussies.

989
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 7: You stepped them forward in the line and you're yeah, yeah.

990
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 7: A lot of people they just do it like a

991
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 7: lot of the fights didn't interest me. And this is

992
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 7: a new sport. It's a new avenue for me to

993
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 7: be able to go if I want to go play

994
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 7: pro baseball later on whatever, I'm talking to my agent,

995
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 7: this is another avenue for me.

996
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: Tony Ferguson just say he wants to go play pro

997
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: baseball later on. I love Tony, I do, and I

998
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: love his childlike aspiration to do all the things he

999
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 1: never got to do as a youngster as a child.

1000
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: But you are not playing professional baseball at forty two

1001
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: three whenever later on is no in no world and

1002
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: no fantasy is that happen. I love him, and I

1003
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: hope he tries. I really do not even like I'm not.

1004
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to see her and laugh at Tony.

1005
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: That's not the thing. I just love the fact that

1006
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: he doesn't ever give up honestly, I love it. It

1007
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 1: bewilders me. It's nonsensical. It will not happen him playing

1008
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: at a professional level unless it's like a you know,

1009
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: a farm league team that kind of gives him the

1010
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan treatment, like all right, try it. But I

1011
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: just love that he's like, O, can I still gonna

1012
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: do these things? My age doesn't matter? Like I love that.

1013
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: It's just that will not happen.

1014
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 7: And like I said, I'm not gonna bullshit in no more,

1015
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 7: I can't. So I can't standbag anymore.

1016
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 5: So Tony said that you said you were gonna knock

1017
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 5: him out.

1018
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 4: Now he's in front of you. Do you still believe that?

1019
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: Good question?

1020
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 9: I mean, I don't have a lucky one punch knockout,

1021
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 9: and that's all I can do.

1022
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:10,240
Speaker 3: Really.

1023
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 4: If it happens, it happens.

1024
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, oh Salt's playing like, oh yeah, I just

1025
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: got the lucky one punch. Why is he doing that?

1026
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: We all know that you're better than a lucky one

1027
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: punch knockout, and if it happens, it happens. Just just

1028
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: be about it, you know what I'm saying. Talk to

1029
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: your stuff. This isn't like a you trying to disrespect

1030
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: Tony thing. And I know Salt likes to be respectful

1031
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: and not talk, but he's kind of playing like, oh

1032
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: I am just the influencer da type of thing. I

1033
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: wish he would kind of stand on business with it

1034
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: and be like, yeah, you know, listen, I think he

1035
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: I think I could touch him on the chain. You know,

1036
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 1: he's agreed, he's a legend in the UFC, and you know,

1037
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,399
Speaker 1: I appreciate him for that or whatever. But he's coming

1038
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: into my realm and I'm gonna show him why this

1039
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: game is different. That wouldn't be him disrespecting Tony. That

1040
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: would just be stating, matter of factly what he wants

1041
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: to do. I want to see that because I know

1042
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: he's confident in what he's gonna do. I just don't

1043
00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: know why I won't say.

1044
00:46:58,800 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 4: It, Tony, You fool people.

1045
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 5: Popo is a Pettis Gate sheep the top of the

1046
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 5: food chain.

1047
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 4: Why now Salt Pappy?

1048
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 7: Because Nathan's cool man, Like he's enough to be able

1049
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 7: to want to go out there and put his record.

1050
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,439
Speaker 1: On the line. And he was like, yeah, Daniel's pretty

1051
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: cool guy. He's like, oh shit, Nathan.

1052
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 7: To anybody else that doesn't understand the complexity of walking

1053
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 7: through a fucking boxing gindor how hard it is. It's

1054
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 7: easier to stay there, it's harder to walk through there.

1055
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 7: Get that first initial walk through there. This dude made

1056
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 7: that walk. I'm making the walk for my first time.

1057
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 7: My nervous Yeah, I was a little nervous. This is boxing.

1058
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 7: But if I didn't have that nervous energy, doesn't matter.

1059
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 7: If I had him or anybody else in front of it,

1060
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna fucking do it. I wasn't even feel

1061
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 7: enough for end the Man anymore, and it was just

1062
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 7: fucking boring a shit to me. It's just like I

1063
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 7: was just doing it just to fucking do it so

1064
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 7: people can see me compete until we both parted ways

1065
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 7: in a good.

1066
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 8: Not cut both ways. If I got my shit and

1067
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 8: I wanted.

1068
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 7: My stuff and I go back, yeah, maybe I got

1069
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 7: other things to accomplish and I'm gonna go out there

1070
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 7: in August thirtieth, then I'm gonna handle everything that I

1071
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 7: need to go and get that victory.

1072
00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 1: What's fired up, man, he's fired up? Yeah. Listen, Tony

1073
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: left the UFC. Maybe you know the way they I

1074
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know how it was done, but

1075
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: it was the right decision for the UFC obviously to

1076
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: not have Tony in any more fights because he was

1077
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:16,720
Speaker 1: losing consistently, taking tons of damage consistently, you know, and Tony,

1078
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: it just didn't whether he wasn't into it or not anymore,

1079
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: he was going to continue losing fight. The competition level

1080
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 1: in the game had just passed him by. That's really

1081
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: simply all it was. Whether they cut him, whether he left,

1082
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. It was a good decision. So I'm

1083
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: glad he's If he's gonna compete in combat sports, I'm

1084
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: glad he's doing this versus doing that, if that makes sense,

1085
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: probably making a shit ton more money over here. I

1086
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: mean again, the danger when you step into combat sports

1087
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: is there regardless. So the people that are upset about

1088
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,919
Speaker 1: him continuing to fight, this would have happened in the UFC,

1089
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: It would have happened in any other boxing match. It

1090
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: would have happened to kickboxing, So I get it. But

1091
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: at the same time, if he wants to compete, this

1092
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: is probably the best option.

1093
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,919
Speaker 5: For him, transition being like from MMA to boxing, because

1094
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 5: you mentioned multiple times now that it's a completely different sport,

1095
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 5: So how are you going to transition in this time

1096
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 5: getting someone that's already had eight flights and still have

1097
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 5: the chance.

1098
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 7: I've been wanting to box since I was little. I

1099
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 7: was never allowed to h I grew up in Michigan.

1100
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 7: My pop's raised me military in the country, and I

1101
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 7: was able to have heavy bags unless I bought five

1102
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 7: bottom and speed bags. I'm hitting the speed backs since

1103
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 7: I was about fourteen, thirteen fifteen something like that, and

1104
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 7: I would always break my bags and stuff. But I

1105
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 7: was My pop tells me, He's like, I'm not paying

1106
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 7: for your school. You're gonna go to college. He's like,

1107
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 7: in my roof, you're gonna go to college. He's like,

1108
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,280
Speaker 7: you're gonna play sports in order to get yourself a scholarship.

1109
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 7: And I did pick my choice and I did that.

1110
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 7: Now s I all of my stuff kind of like

1111
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 7: went down, and I've collected every single side quest. You

1112
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 7: play video games, you understand side quests, you understand all

1113
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 7: this kind of shit. I did everything from Knockout of

1114
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,280
Speaker 7: the Night, Submission, Night Fight of the Year, Ultimate Fighter,

1115
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 7: Troll Feet, the UFC Bell Like, I'm dude, I've gone

1116
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 7: all of this shit. I don't really care because I'd

1117
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 7: love that stuff, but I want to collect more. I

1118
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 7: got bunch of medals for wrest and I got national championship,

1119
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 7: state championship football ring for wrestling, and like, like.

1120
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: Does Tony where his high school football state championship ring around? Hell? Yeah, dude,

1121
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: I actually kind of with that because I've no I mean,

1122
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: my little brother what a state title?

1123
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 4: And I don't.

1124
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: I don't even think he knows where his ring is,

1125
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: Like you could tell he I don't know that Tony

1126
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: wanted to be a mixed martial artists. I don't know

1127
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: that he like the way he talks about other sports

1128
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: he wants to do. Maybe he just wanted to play

1129
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: a ton of different sports. He wants to be an athlete.

1130
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: He talks about football, he talks about wrestling, talks about baseball,

1131
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: talks about boxing. This is him again, being a big kid,

1132
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: getting to live out his dream of doing the other

1133
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,399
Speaker 1: sports he never got to do as a as a

1134
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: as a kid. I think that's a cool storyline.

1135
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 7: I like collecting shit and I don't like collecting losses.

1136
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 7: I had to demonstrate to everybody what humility was so

1137
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 7: that way everybody could understand the nob he's perfect and

1138
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 7: if they took it with the grain of salt, maybe

1139
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 7: they learned something.

1140
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 4: So when you hear with these accolades, I.

1141
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: Don't know what that meant from Tony. He said he

1142
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 1: had to demonstrate humility so everybody can understand how to

1143
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: take a loss. Is he like, is he acting like, Oh,

1144
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: I had to lose so I could show people how

1145
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: to lose. I don't think he wanted to lose those fights.

1146
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. Can I'm just I don't know. Sometimes

1147
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,399
Speaker 1: Tony saying and stuff. I'm like, maybe it's going over

1148
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 1: my head.

1149
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:03,240
Speaker 4: I don't know, and you see what it's achieved.

1150
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,840
Speaker 5: How do you maintain the confidence and the calmness that

1151
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 5: you have right now?

1152
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 9: Cook said, yeah, and yeah I do. I do have

1153
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 9: a chances because I do have one punch knackleut power

1154
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 9: and yeah, we'll just see what happened in August thirty

1155
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 9: eight and I'll be ready for the best.

1156
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 4: Tony Ferguson, is that how you win the fight? It's

1157
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:24,360
Speaker 4: through a knockout punch.

1158
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 9: I can I can try a win like you know,

1159
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 9: by points, but I always want to go for the

1160
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 9: knocklout because of the knackleut bonus.

1161
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 7: There a knockout bonus. Yes, you know I was broke

1162
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 7: when I was in the Open Fighter. I was broken

1163
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 7: the Open Fighter. I went there like my wife was

1164
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 7: helping me pay my rent and my ship, and I

1165
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,799
Speaker 7: go in there. Ramsey Nigel said this, he's like five

1166
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 7: K baby, because.

1167
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 8: He went in there and you finished somebody.

1168
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 4: It's I.

1169
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 8: Was like, yeah, we'll go make a rent.

1170
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 4: Now there's some Fighter of the night as well. Fight

1171
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 4: off not.

1172
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 8: Yeah, two chances fifty k. It's a big deal.

1173
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 4: Maybe we can make them double it went across all

1174
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 4: of the bucks. That tells you that they can't.

1175
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, that's a cooler answer from Salt

1176
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: Poppy like yeah, I maybe could win, even though he's

1177
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: still trying to play coy, like, ah, you know, I

1178
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 1: just got the one knockout punch. That's really all I got. Bullshit,

1179
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: but saying like yeah, listen, I want to finish the fight.

1180
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: I want to get that knockout bonus. And then Tony

1181
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: being like, let's double it. Man's open your pocket books.

1182
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: I open up the wallet, got the check, they can

1183
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: knock you out.

1184
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 4: What's your reaction to that?

1185
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 7: Nothing I've played I've been wrestling for a long time,

1186
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 7: in freestyle wrestling where you had to stand next to

1187
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 7: your opponent, right, So I've had people mean, mug me,

1188
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 7: try to be my best friend, hate me, fucking not

1189
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 7: say shit, doing all this stuff. And I've got thousands

1190
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 7: of wrestling matches with shoes on.

1191
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:47,399
Speaker 8: Different So.

1192
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: He has a good point, Like when Salt says he

1193
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: wants to knock Tony out, Tony's like, I've heard it all,

1194
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't bother me. I've had people try to

1195
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: be nice, be mean, not say anything mean mugby. Then

1196
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: he adds the with the shoes on part. I know

1197
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: he's fighting in shoes and it is different than fighting

1198
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: not with shoes on. But I don't know what the

1199
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,280
Speaker 1: if he thinks the ultimate difference between MMA and boxing

1200
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,839
Speaker 1: is I get to wear shoes. I mean, that's not it.

1201
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: But he keeps focusing on the shoes. Maybe he just

1202
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: has some sick boxing shoes he wants to wear. He's like, Yo,

1203
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm showed up at Jordan's Amanda Serado style. What's up, dude.

1204
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 1: Finally I'm been trying to wear Jordan all my fights.

1205
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 5: No, this is your biggest moment on the stage when

1206
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,479
Speaker 5: it comes to misfits boxing, Yeah, how are you gonna

1207
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,760
Speaker 5: deal with that pressure, the anxiety, the nuts.

1208
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 7: I can't draw a line on this shit and everything

1209
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 7: like that. Any person's got the fucking balls to walk

1210
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 7: through the door and to stay there is a fucking fighter. Bro, Like,

1211
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,439
Speaker 7: I'm not even playing anymore. I don't give a shit.

1212
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,280
Speaker 7: And that's the hardest part is getting off your fucking couch,

1213
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 7: getting off your ass, and getting into a fucking gym.

1214
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 7: I went to the boxing gym over here. It was

1215
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 7: twelve three or some fucking gym. The guy didn't know

1216
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 7: who the fuck I was. For one, I didn't give

1217
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 7: a shit.

1218
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 8: I'm just there.

1219
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 7: I was asking if I could hit the boxing. He's like,

1220
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 7: and he brust it out his laptop and see if

1221
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 7: he could make a schedule like calling this guy. I'm like,

1222
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 7: I just fucking walked over the bag and kind of

1223
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:01,879
Speaker 7: hit it, and I was like, no, this isn't where

1224
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 7: I want to be. You kind of understand where like, well,

1225
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 7: people they kind of think like that, that's not who

1226
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 7: I want to be, who they can fuck off. And

1227
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:09,760
Speaker 7: I can understand You've probably been in the same way

1228
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 7: because everybody's underwriting me, they're saying he gonna knock me

1229
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 7: out and everything.

1230
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: I'm so the question was asked to Salt Poppy. He

1231
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: didn't even answer. Tony starts talking about how he walked

1232
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: into a gym in the UK and the guy didn't

1233
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: know him, so he was trying to figure out if

1234
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,320
Speaker 1: he could let him in. Tony touched the bag and

1235
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: got a bad vibe and it's like, I don't want

1236
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: to be here. They can go I have no idea,

1237
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: what the fuck's going on? What the hell's happening here?

1238
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 7: Can understand you've probably been in the same way because

1239
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 7: everybody's underwriting me, they're saying he gonna knock me out

1240
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 7: and everything. Ninety percent, but everybodys saying Tony, you're fighting

1241
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 7: a fucking influencer. So there goes the other twenty percent,

1242
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,359
Speaker 7: but all fucking negative, like come on.

1243
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Poppy said, yeah, Like, I don't know what

1244
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: the fuck just say to that. The overall message from

1245
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,479
Speaker 1: Tony is like, yeah, I'm I'm pissed that people think

1246
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: this influencer is gonna knock me out, and then something

1247
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 1: about the fact that you know, ninety percent think that

1248
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: I can't even fight anyway. But the other twenty, even

1249
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,800
Speaker 1: though it should be ten, think that the influencer is

1250
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 1: gonna knock me out because he's better than me in

1251
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: boxing too. So he's frustrated. I get it, but he's

1252
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 1: not articulating it very well. It's all Bobby's confused.

1253
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,879
Speaker 4: Why I can just do my best? Man, I'm gonna

1254
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:25,359
Speaker 4: do my best.

1255
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 3: That's it.

1256
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 8: Get me heated. I'm supposed to get mad at him,

1257
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 8: but I'm not.

1258
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 7: Like, Look, when it goes into an athlete, we're gonna

1259
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:34,839
Speaker 7: both prepare and we're gonna do our shit. We're gonna

1260
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 7: go out there and you guys are gonna have a

1261
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,439
Speaker 7: fucking amazing show. So you guys need to fucking buy

1262
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 7: that ship. Don't stream like fucking whenever I fight. I

1263
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 7: know you guys are buying the ship. I just fucking

1264
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,799
Speaker 7: know him because you guys have that much respect for me.

1265
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 7: I'm that og when it comes into this original genius

1266
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 7: kind of shit. So by the pay per view, yeah,

1267
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 7: pay per views, man, Like seriously, like a lot of

1268
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 7: people fuck him whatever they gotta think and shit like that.

1269
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 7: You've got a couple fighters that are on this car.

1270
00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:59,399
Speaker 7: They're gonna go out there, they're gonna give it the shit.

1271
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:01,919
Speaker 7: I'm just fighting. But this is a fucking dope ass car.

1272
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 1: Man bags dude, and Tony is right like he has

1273
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: a lot of OG fans. Original genius is not one

1274
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: I've heard for for OG, original gangster say, but he's

1275
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 1: kind of both. He's a gangster, always has been an MMA,

1276
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 1: and he does have a loyal fan base. And I

1277
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 1: do think that that fan base will come over and

1278
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: watch Tony because they've watched him in the UFC. They

1279
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,800
Speaker 1: watched him, you know, ascend to the highest of highs

1280
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 1: and then obviously they watched the losing streak there at

1281
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: the end, so they've always stood by his side. I

1282
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,359
Speaker 1: think that the Misfits did a great job getting him

1283
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 1: on this card if he wanted to fight, which it

1284
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: seems like he does. I personally don't think Tony should

1285
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,319
Speaker 1: be fighting anymore. But if he's gonna fight, he's gonna

1286
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 1: do it somewhere, and he's probably gonna make the most

1287
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 1: money doing it here at Misfits, So fair play, and

1288
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 1: I do I think he commands a great audience.

1289
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:47,799
Speaker 5: No agree more so, I've just got a couple more

1290
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 5: questions before we wrap things off. I'm gonna start off

1291
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:52,399
Speaker 5: with you, Toney. We're only matter a few weeks away. Now,

1292
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,280
Speaker 5: what's your prediction for this fight? When that bell rings?

1293
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 5: How does fight go for you?

1294
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 7: You're gonna have to tune in. I don't like to

1295
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 7: talk too much about like other ship like that. You

1296
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 7: guys gonna have to tune in when it goes into it.

1297
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:09,399
Speaker 7: You guys are gonna be in for a good fight.

1298
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 7: It's gonna be amazing. Camp Camp has been cool already.

1299
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 8: It's awesome. Look at my new hairline too, Thank you, Bosley.

1300
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: Honestly, how do you not love him? Look at my

1301
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 1: new hairline? Thanks? Did you say thanks? Bosley? That's awesome,

1302
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: so awesome. Put a little hair dye in there too.

1303
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: You could tell he went a little just for bed

1304
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: a touch of gray, right silver fox, Tody? I like it?

1305
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 4: Good question. How does this fight gout for you? I

1306
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 4: just do whatever it takes to win and hope and

1307
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 4: get lucky.

1308
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 5: Don't bite me, just kidding.

1309
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 7: I'm gonna hit him. He's gonna try to hit me,

1310
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 7: and that's how it's gonna go from mine.

1311
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 4: Well, this is gonna be one of the final times.

1312
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: I hate this Salt Poppy keeps saying like, oh, I'm

1313
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: just gonna try to get lucky. Bro just be about it, dude.

1314
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: We all know your confidence. Yourself up, call your shot.

1315
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:03,919
Speaker 1: If he was just being humble, like, that's not even

1316
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: being him being humble, right, that's just him being like, oh,

1317
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just the influencer. It's like playing a character.

1318
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: I get it, but I want him to like, you know,

1319
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 1: stand on that ship. We've seen it. You can't hide

1320
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 1: it from us anymore, you know.

1321
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 5: Face off before we get into fight weeks. So can

1322
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 5: I get some final words from you both?

1323
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 4: So first made the best memory, sir about it? Do

1324
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 4: you have any final words for Salt Pappy?

1325
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 8: I see the thirtieth thirtieth handshake.

1326
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 4: It's been an absolute pressure. Thank you to handshake like,

1327
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:36,000
Speaker 4: I don't know why as much.

1328
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 8: Put your hand up.

1329
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 3: Again against answer.

1330
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: Bigger than Brocks. Tony is so awesome, duties off. Put

1331
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 1: your hand up here, see got big hands.

1332
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 5: I appreciate both your time. Thank you so much being

1333
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 5: an absolute honor doing this. Face off and make sure

1334
00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 5: you're getting your tickets and going and watching it live

1335
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 5: on his own August thirtieth, Manchester A arena.

1336
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 1: That was awesome. Tony is a pleasure to listen to,

1337
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: even if it is a bit confusing, if he is

1338
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 1: all over the place, He's still Tony Ferguson, and the

1339
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: reason you love him as a fighter is because of that.

1340
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: His personality is erratic, sometimes doesn't make any sense, but

1341
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: you know he's passionate about what he's doing. Right, He's

1342
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: not doing something he doesn't care about. He's always been

1343
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 1: that way with the UFC, He's doing that now with

1344
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: the crossover boxing space. I want to see him stay safe.

1345
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: I know that's not maybe even possible because he's fighting

1346
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: and it is combat sports. But obviously, in my opinion,

1347
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm still sticking with Salt Poppy winning this fight. I

1348
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 1: say obviously, and it's only it's not a disrespect to Tony,

1349
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 1: it's just because of the situation and where we're at right.

1350
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: Tony's career, his age, mileage, the wear and tear, the

1351
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: lack of experience specifically just boxing. I mean, he alluded

1352
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: to it. So Bobby, he's got eight fights, He's got none.

1353
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: Jake made a career off this when he first started boxing.

1354
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: Is bringing guy in that had never boxed, that were

1355
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 1: high level MMA fighters and exploiting the difference between high

1356
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 1: level MMA and you know, entree level box There are

1357
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: completely different sports. You guys just watched me get rag

1358
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 1: dogged by Dylan Danis after having a decent enough showing

1359
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: in my first ever little boxing match. It's it's not

1360
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: even close. And this is why you don't see boxers

1361
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 1: go to MMA because they're not the same sport and

1362
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: they would get ragdolled and destroyed. So I expect this

1363
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 1: same formula. I mean, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

1364
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: Time and time again, we've seen it. I expect Saulpoppy

1365
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: to win this, but I could be wrong. And fight

1366
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 1: week is almost here now or a couple of weeks away.

1367
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be traveling all over the country. So it's

1368
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 1: the last time you guys will see me in the

1369
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 1: setup room for a while. But the next time you

1370
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: see me on a broadcast will be in Florida. I'm

1371
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 1: gonna be doing some stuff with MVP their Prospects card

1372
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: coming up on the twenty second. Then I will be

1373
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 1: in Manchester at the Al Arena for Misfits twenty two,
