1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: All right, folks, we are back with some breaking news

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: out of the UFC today, as Connor McGregor has been

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: suspended for eighteen months for a whereabouts violation not just one,

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: but three times from what's called the Combat Sports Anti

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: Doping Agency. No longer is the UFC with you, SADA,

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: It's the Combat Sports Anti Doping Agency. And this is

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: major news, but not for the reasons you think, what

8
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: do I mean the breakdown? Let's go all right, So

9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: this hit the airwaves about thirty minutes ago from Carlos

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: Contreras Legaspi, a writer for ESPN Deportes. He broke the

11
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: news that Connor McGregor has accepted an eighteen month period

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: of ineligibility for a violation of the UFC anti doping policy.

13
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: Gregor failed to provide accurate whereabouts on June thirteenth, September nineteenth,

14
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: and September twentieth, twenty twenty four for test collection. He

15
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: will be able or excuse me, eligible to compete on

16
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: March twentieth, twenty twenty six. All right, so number one,

17
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: what does this mean? Well, Connor McGregor, secretly, over the

18
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: last year and some change, has been serving Anti Doping

19
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: Agency suspension. I don't know if he knew about this,

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: and it wasn't public yet. This is only public for

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: the first time for our eyes. Is this something that

22
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: Connor has known for a while, because there's been a

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: lot of talk about his return. Potentially he kind of

24
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: pipes up and says he's training again and then he stops,

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: or he's training behind the scenes, but hasn't given a

26
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: full answer. Also, he's been talking about the UFC White House.

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: Arieljwani reported yesterday on his show that Connor McGregor had

28
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: not come onto his show for reasons that they would

29
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: kind of leave open ended. He essentially he's like, I

30
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: didn't he didn't cancel on me. We just thought it

31
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: was best not to have him on the show yet.

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: And this was yesterday he addressed that, so it must

33
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: have been on his show last week. Connor did go

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: on Fox News and say it's ready, Sewing sealed in

35
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: to live at the White House and I Macha's back,

36
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: which meant nothing because Dana then came out and was like, yeah, no,

37
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: we haven't negotiated with any fighters for the UFC White

38
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: House card. But with all that speculation, this tells me

39
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: that Connor probably knew already before we did and has

40
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: been quietly serving his suspension now with about six months

41
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: until the UFC's White House card and being retroactively given

42
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: this suspension, Connor has been serving essentially since September twenty first.

43
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: I assumed twenty twenty four, which would make him eligible

44
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: in March twenty twenty twenty six. So Connor could still

45
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: fight at the White House car and that's fine. But

46
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: there is some interesting parts of this that make me

47
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: a little bit skeptical as to what happened here. If

48
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: it was just a whereabouts missed Because Connor is all

49
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: over the world on his Lambaghini yont right flying here boat,

50
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: traveling there different islands every day every week, I got

51
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: some questions. So let's take a look at the article

52
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: that was written here about this and see if there's

53
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: any details that I'm missing. The Combat Sports Anti Doping

54
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: announced today Connor McGregor of dueblenoile and except an eighteen

55
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: month period of ineligibility for a violation of the UFC

56
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: Anti Doping policy. McGregor missed three attempted biological sample collections

57
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: within a twelve month period in twenty twenty four, which

58
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: constitutes a violation of UFCADP. UFC athletes are required to

59
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: provide accurate whereabouts information at all times so they can

60
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: get contacted and submit to biological sample collections without prior warning.

61
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: McGregor's miss tests occurred on June thirteenth, September nineteenth, and

62
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: September twentieth, twenty twenty four, and were each classified as

63
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: a whereabouts failures by SNAD or the Combat Sports Antidoping

64
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: under the UFCADP. Although McGregor failed to make himself available

65
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: for testing on those dates, SNAD noted that he was

66
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: recovering from an injury and was not preparing for an

67
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: upcoming fight at the time of the three miss tests.

68
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: Really quick, want to make a point here, that's true,

69
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: but it's very interesting these dates, especially the June thirteenth date,

70
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: because that just happens to the day I think before but

71
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: reported on the day that Connor McGregor pulled out of

72
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: the Michael Chandler fight at UFC three to three. Remember,

73
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: at that point we had heard about his toe injury,

74
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: a potential broken toe, but there were very odd circumstances

75
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: surrounding number one. You know, there was an announced press

76
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: conference that was supposed to take place in Dublin, and

77
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: then it just didn't happen and we didn't really have

78
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: any answers for it, and rumors started to swirl that

79
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: potentially Connor was injured and was not going to be

80
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: able to compete, but he missed the test the day

81
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: they or the day before they called the fight off.

82
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, I'm just saying that is a little

83
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: suspicious as to what potentially was a reason for that.

84
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: And then a couple of months later in September nineteenth,

85
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: September twentieth, not really sure what to make of that. Connor,

86
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: like they said, wasn't preparing for a fight. Could that

87
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: have been something where he's on the mend and trying

88
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: to heal up and XYZ. Sure, but why wouldn't that

89
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: make him available for the test because he's injured, And

90
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: how is that an exception for anybody else who's injured,

91
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: either after a fight, before a fight, whatever else. I

92
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: think everybody you know understands how strict formerly you SADA

93
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: and now combat sports anti doping is with keeping tabs

94
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: on everyone regardless of where you're at in the world,

95
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: and you having to keep tabs with them. This seems

96
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: like the same way that you Saigna operated under the

97
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: UFC as well. But it's interesting Connor, the first one

98
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: he misses was an in camp test because they were

99
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: in camp UFC three to zero three, right around the

100
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: corner Connor and Michael Chandler about to go do their

101
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: press conference, and Connor pulls out and either misses the

102
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: test after he pulls out, or misses the test and

103
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: then pulls out. I would love to know the timeline

104
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: on that because I think that's super important, and we're

105
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: not getting any details on that, but we continue. McGregor

106
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: fully cooperated with Sea SADS investigation and accepted responsibility and

107
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: provide detailed information that ce SID can determined contributed to

108
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: the mistest despite the mitigating factors. Se said emphasizes that

109
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: accurate whereabouts filings and the ability to get duct unannounced

110
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: testing are essential to the success of the UFC anti

111
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: doping policy. Taking McGregor's cooperation and circumstances into account, SEESAD

112
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: reduced the standard twenty four months sanction for three whereabouts

113
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: missings by six months. This period of eligibility began on

114
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: September twentieth, twenty twenty four, the date of his third

115
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: whereabouts failure and will conclude on March twentieth, twenty twenty six.

116
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: This is also very interesting information because I think, as

117
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: everybody knows, there was a parting of the sea between

118
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: the UFC and USADA when it was the United States

119
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: Anti Doping Agency running the drug testing policy for the UFC,

120
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: and that was because at least partly USADA operates on

121
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: its own. It is a testing program on its own

122
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: that was hired by the UFC to conduct testing. I

123
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: could be wrong about this, but the Combat Sports Anti

124
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: Doping Agency or program doesn't. I don't know if that's

125
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: any different the UFC, if that's something that is controlled

126
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: in the UFC, or if that's something again that's hired out.

127
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: But I know, like we saw in certain circumstances even

128
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: with USADA, the timelines of when certain fighters get suspended

129
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: and then get lifted off suspension is we'll just say

130
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: a little bit skeptical, a little bit suspect, because a

131
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: regular fighter would have served a twenty four month suspension,

132
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: and again they said he didn't because I guess his

133
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: cooperation in fully accepting the responsibility of it and taking circumstances,

134
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: which I'm not sure what the circumstances would be. They

135
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: said he was injured. I didn't know that was a

136
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: circumstance for not testing. But had he served the actual

137
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: twenty four months, that would have given him March April, May, June, July,

138
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: August September of twenty twenty six, a full two years

139
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: after the twenty twenty four double miss in September, So

140
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: that wouldn't have allowed Connor McGregor to fight on a

141
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: potential White House Cardana has said they've made no actual

142
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: bouts yet for the car. He said that no one's

143
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: been scheduled. He said there's talks between certain people like

144
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: a Connor McGregor, and there hasn't been anything concrete. But

145
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: that tells me if there is anything going on behind

146
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: the scenes, that this just so happens to make Connor

147
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: McGregor available for the White House car just so happens

148
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: that it perfectly lines up to where three months after

149
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: is March twentieth reinsertion, he is able to hit the

150
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: ground running with some training. Now again I'm not saying

151
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: anything funky is happening here. I'm just saying it is

152
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: very interesting. Something else that's interesting to me is if

153
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: you guys remember back a couple of months ago, Connor

154
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: McGregor supposedly re entered the testing protocol or the testing

155
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: pool towards the comeback to the UFC White House event.

156
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: This was on I think July fifteenth, and that's starting

157
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: to make me go, hold on a second, how is

158
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: this all working? Because if Connor McGregor re entered the

159
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: UFC's drug testing pool on July fifteenth of twenty twenty five,

160
00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: but was already supposedly serving a eighteen month sanctioning from

161
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: that time while he was out of the testing pool,

162
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: is that what I meant to believe that those times

163
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: that they weren't coming and retesting him, because he's out

164
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: of the pool from September twenty twenty four to July

165
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, that counts as a part of his

166
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: suspension time or his sanctioning time, even though they weren't

167
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: continuing to test him because he's out of the pool.

168
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: It's not like they chose to not test him during

169
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: that time period. It's just that he's out of the pool.

170
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: There's no point in testing him. He's not able to

171
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 1: be tested. So how does that really starting. Things are

172
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: not adding up here. Again, I could be just tenfoil

173
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: hat on this thing, but it's just interesting. And even

174
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: from the CBS article where we see that the report

175
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: of Connor McGregor officially returning to the UFC drug testing pool,

176
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: that only made sense because we didn't think he was

177
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: already sanctioned. So how does it make sense now? There's

178
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: another part of this article where it says, however, the

179
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: official UFC anti doping website indicates that McGregor has completed

180
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: his first test this year. Coregor tested eleven times last year,

181
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: mostly before a planned fight with Michael Chandler at UFC

182
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: three zero three. You're pulled out of the fight with

183
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: a broken peaky toe former UFC champ, the two time

184
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: excuse me two division UFC champion hasn't fought since dusn't

185
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: Porty beat him in July twenty twenty one. Very very

186
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: interesting stuff here. Number one, the fact that the day

187
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: he pulls out of the Michael Chandler fight is the

188
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: first day he misses his test, or the day before

189
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: he pulls out he misses it. I can't remember the

190
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: timeline there. Number two, the fact that he gets six

191
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: months off his two year sanction for cooperation and circumstances.

192
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: Circumstances we don't really know. Number three, how he still

193
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: is serving in eighteen months sanctioning whilst not being in

194
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: the pool for October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May, June,

195
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: nine months of that. I'm not really sure how that works.

196
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: He's not even in the pool. How can he be

197
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: serving a sanction. I know it's a competition sanction, but

198
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: still aren't isn't he supposed to remain in the pool

199
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: to serve that time? Anyway, this is some crazy stuff

200
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: and it's important for a lot of reasons. Number One,

201
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: it probably does confirm to us that Connor McGregor is

202
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: going to fight on the White House card. Maybe not

203
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: in all certain terms, but the way this is lining up,

204
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: the reason this is being announced or being written about. Now,

205
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: how this news came out, where it came from, I

206
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: think it all makes a little bit more sense because

207
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: this feels like they had to get ahead of it,

208
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: they had to speak about it before Connor started to

209
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: plan a return. And by the way, here's something else again,

210
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: tinfoil hat wade here. Connor McGregor yesterday hopped on Twitter

211
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: to say, hey folks online, I'm out of here for

212
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: a bit. See you again soon. My love, unwavering, thank

213
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: you all. A little convenient for anyone. The day before

214
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: this comes out, Connor's like, yeah, I'm off socials. Did

215
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: he know what was coming? Or is this all part

216
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: of the move to get Connor? Because we thought, okay,

217
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: this is gonna be refocused Connor. That's why he's getting

218
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: off social Connor. Maybe he had an obligation with Fox News.

219
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: That's why he didn't go on Ariel Hawane pro. Maybe

220
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: Ariel had this story. I was gonna ask Connor about

221
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: it again. Does it matter in the long run, No,

222
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: Connor will probably be back in time for the White House.

223
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: But it does make you ask some questions as to

224
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: what was going on around that Mike Chandler fight. Because

225
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: I was the first guy say that Connor. You know,

226
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: if he had an injury, this would be the first

227
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: fight he'd ever pulled out of, usually mister reliable, and

228
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: maybe he did the injury. Something's not making sense here

229
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: timeline wise. Things are off, but that's just my take.

230
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: Comment below what you guys think. Connor McGregor suspended retroactively

231
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: up until the point of March twenty twenty six, eighteen

232
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: month suspension for failing his whereabouts requirements three separate times,

233
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: one of which was the day before he pulled out

234
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: of the Mike Chandler fight. And just so happens, it's

235
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: three months before the White House Card in which Connor

236
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: McGregor will be eligible, and I don't think that's a coincidence.

237
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: I think that means Connor McGregor will be fighting at

238
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: the White House. Don't have any answers on anything. I'm

239
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: just asking questions, what do you guys think. Let me know,

240
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: will Connor McGregor be on the White House card, will

241
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: he be ready? And will he be adhering to the

242
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: UFC's anti doping policy and making sure he clarifies his

243
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: whereabouts for tests. I don't have those answers, but I

244
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: guess we'll find out. Folks. We're back on the way

245
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: concept presented by The Ring magazine, and today I have

246
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: an update on the Rajah Jackson situation. Apparently Raja jack

247
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: has been charged with a couple of different battery charges,

248
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: one felony, one misdemeanor. But we're gonna talk about the

249
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 1: details and why he pled not guilty despite all video

250
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: evidence pointing to the contrary. It makes absolutely no sense

251
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: to us. Maybe for him either way, I don't see

252
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: it going his way and he could be going to

253
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: prison for a very long time. What do I mean

254
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: the breakdown? Let's go. He is the star of WAG concept,

255
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: all right, So MMA fighting and Damon Martin has written

256
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: an article saying Roger Jackson pleads not guilty to battery

257
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: charges after assaulting pro wrestler, faces up to seven years

258
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: in prison if convicted. Some of UFC legend could face

259
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: serious jail time. Okay, number one, kudos to the LAPD

260
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: in the prosecutor's office for actually filing not only you know,

261
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: misdemeanor battery charges, but felony battery charges. That's the only

262
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: thing I can think of that would get him seven years.

263
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know why he wouldn't get attempt

264
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: murder charges. I mean, there was a pre meditated I'm

265
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: going to go fuck him up. No, he didn't say

266
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: he might. I don't even remember what he said, but

267
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: it wasn't. I don't think he said I'm going to

268
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: murder him, but he essentially said I'm going to beat

269
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: him until they stopped me. It was livestream and for

270
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: those that don't remember, Rojah Jackson almost killed a man

271
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: as he beat a professional wrestler, Psycho Stu, into a

272
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: concussed and bloody pulp whilst everyone else just watched him

273
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: do it, and then when people tried to intervene, he

274
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: threw them off, went back for some more until more

275
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: people tried to intervene. If you guys didn't catch this story,

276
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: I got multiple videos. We'll link to it at the

277
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: end here. But the point is Rojah Jackson showed little

278
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: to no self control, showed at least ability to cause

279
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: battery and want to cause battery to Psycho Stu, and

280
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: at the very most I thought he attempted to murder

281
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: point blank period. He tried to punch him until he

282
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: was either tired or just felt like he was done,

283
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: which didn't look like was coming anytime soon, because he

284
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: hit Psycho Stu, the pro wrestler had he slammed on

285
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: the back of his head and then proceeded to hit

286
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: twenty three straight times while he was already knocked out.

287
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: It's a miracle, in my opinion, that Psycho Stu even

288
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: breathes right now and not through a straw. But Roja

289
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: Jackson pleads not guilty. Hilarious, but let's see why. Rojah

290
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: Jackson pleaded not guilty in court on Thursday after he

291
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: was hit with a felony battery charge and a misdimeter

292
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: battery charge for assaulting a pro wrestler at an event

293
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles this past August. After he was arrested

294
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: in September and released on fifty thousand dollars bail. Jackson,

295
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: the son of former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Quintin Rampage. Jackson,

296
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: was back in court for his arraignment after the Los

297
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: Angeles District Attorney's office moved forward with the criminal complaint

298
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: against him to charges include sentencing enhancement for allegedly causing

299
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: great bodily harm, which could add an extra three years

300
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: to a prison sentence. Based on the charges, Jackson could

301
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: potentially face seven years in prison if convicted. The twenty

302
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: five year old is due back in court on November

303
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: twenty fourth for a preliminary hearing in his case. Jackson,

304
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: a pro fighter, was arrested in September after he assaulted

305
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: Stuart Smith ak psycho STU during a Knox Pro event

306
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, where Jackson was scheduled to appear. The

307
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: entire altercation unfolded after Jackson was scheduled to interfere in

308
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: a match but ultimately went off script. He picked Smith

309
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: up into the air and slammed him back to the ground.

310
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: Jackson proceeded to then unleash more than twenty punches, many

311
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: of which landed after peered. Smith was already unconscious before

312
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: other wrestlers were finally able to drag him off. Smith

313
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: was admitted to local hospital, where he spent several days

314
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: in intensive care with family members, and later revealed he

315
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: suffered trauma to both upper lower jaws, laceration to his

316
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: upper lip, and a fracture to his malicksa bone which

317
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: resulted in the loss of several teeth from the assault.

318
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: Prior to the ring incident, Smith and Jackson were engaged

319
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: in a separate incident when Smith hit Jackson with a

320
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: beer canned prior might I add, lightly leaving Jackson was

321
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: another pro wrestler involved to help hype the show. Video

322
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: showed Smith later apologizing in the two shook hands. Jackson

323
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: was then seen on a livestream saying that he was

324
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: going to get his revenge quote for real. After jumping

325
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: into the ring for the plant show down with Smith.

326
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: The visious assault was captured on livestream, which led to

327
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: an investigation by the LAPD before Jackson was eventually arrested.

328
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: Jackson has not publicly addressed the incident since it happened.

329
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: Now he faces potential prison sentence if convicted on all charges. Now,

330
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: there was I think an update here from TMZ Sports

331
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: as they caught Raza Jackson leaving his court appearance asking

332
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: him some questions. He doesn't say anything here, It's just

333
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: him leaving the court and walking off. Do you feel

334
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: remorseful about what happened? Do you have anything to say

335
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: to your fans? Thank you? Raja? Yeah, Rajah don't feel

336
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: remorseful for any of that stuff. And he had opportunities

337
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: to feel remorseful multiple times whilst he was punching a

338
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: man or trying to fight the people getting him off

339
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: of the guy he was punching into oblivion and after

340
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: the event where uh, I think the words he used

341
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: were my bad. I can't let people keep trying me,

342
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: and I gotta prove I'm not a bit no legal expert.

343
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: But I think that usually means he's gonna be acquitted

344
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: of all charges right now, I listen. I don't know

345
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: how this case is going to go, but it's clear

346
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: as day that Raja deserves to serve jail time here,

347
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: deserves to serve time in prison seven years honestly for

348
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: what he attempted to do, which again I think was

349
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: caused great bodily harm to Psycho Stu. It wouldn't be

350
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: out of the question for me. Honestly, it wouldn't be

351
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: because I will stick by this until the day I

352
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: end up passing. Raja was not going to stop hitting Stu.

353
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 1: He did not pull any punches. He was trying to

354
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: assault that man hurt him badly for his get back

355
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: over what he had gotten into an altercation with Stu

356
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: earlier in the parking lot an empty beer can that

357
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: Stu placed his hand on Raja's head and then slapped

358
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: a beer can on Again, Stu shouldn't have done it,

359
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: didn't realize that Rajah wasn't a pro wrestler. Raja then

360
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: spoke with Stue. They shook it out, and then Raja

361
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: because he was on live streaming. Because again, twenty five

362
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: year old Raja is not a kid, but his acting

363
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: like one. And I hate the idea that oh, he's

364
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: just a kid, so it's okay, or he's just a kid.

365
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: He didn't know any better. No, he's twenty five years old.

366
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: It was getting raged baited by probably a bunch of

367
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: twelve to seventeen year olds in his kick live stream

368
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: and whatever future he had in fighting, whatever or ideas

369
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: he had as far as what he wanted to do

370
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: up in flames like that all over his ego and

371
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: the fact that he couldn't stand a little trolling from

372
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: his chat based on the interactions he was doing and

373
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: was happening to him on live stream. And we've talked about,

374
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: you know, how Rampage Jackson handled the situation with I

375
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: thought was really really bad. I thought it was was

376
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: just at first ignorant, second and different, and then third

377
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: you could see there was a reality that set in

378
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: with Rampage. It was like, yeah, this is bad. My

379
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: son may need to go away for some time. And

380
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: I respected that the reality of this case is pretty simple.

381
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: Raja has no idea how to control himself. It seems

382
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: like in a setting where someone attacks his ego, and

383
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a behavior that has been

384
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: learned over the time he's been live streaming and having

385
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: to interact with people that aren't in front of him

386
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: and be controlled by chat and actually his dad, or

387
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: just a lack of awareness in general as to what

388
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: happens when you assault someone, when you actually batter someone

389
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: into the point where they're days into the hospital. And

390
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,239
Speaker 1: again I'm only covering this as an update, but it

391
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: really really frustrated me how the rest of the other

392
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: side of the internet or the other side of the

393
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: opinions on this case went where people were saying that

394
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: Raja was working and that psychost Do wasn't really hurt

395
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: and they were worked punches and all of this nonsense.

396
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: Rajah wasn't going to get charged because it was a work. Yeah, really,

397
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: you sure? That's what I thought? Seven years potentially for

398
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: Raja And again that's the max. I don't think that

399
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: Rajah will probably end up even serving that long. But

400
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: you do the crime, you got to do the time. Man. Like,

401
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how any adult at and sat down

402
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: with Raja and either told him that the way he

403
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 1: was going was going to end up with him fighting

404
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: someone or potentially getting in jail. His own dad Rampage

405
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: had said that on I think a couple of podcasts

406
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: he was afraid his son was going to go to jail.

407
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: Turns out the fear was a warranted one because Raja

408
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,959
Speaker 1: got himself into a situation where he let external factors

409
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: affect his ego and potentially he's going to go away

410
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: for a long time for it. They said he has

411
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: another court date in November. We'll keep updated on this story.

412
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: But if you're asking me my opinion on if Rajah

413
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: Jackson deserves to be in prison, deserves to go to

414
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: jail for X amount of years, the answers, Yeah, he does.

415
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: Don't know him as a person, comment on his character

416
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: outside of this incident. He wouldn't be going to jail

417
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: for his character outside of this incident. He'd be going

418
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: to jail for what he did to psychostud and what

419
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: he did to that man, in my opinion, was punch

420
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: him until Raja got tired, punch him until he felt

421
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: like he was done, which for me lines up with

422
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: try to hurt him to the point where he potentially

423
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: murders him. And before we get out of here, I

424
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: do want to talk about the plea. If not guilty.

425
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: I have to assume that that is some way for

426
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: him to take a plea deal. I don't really know

427
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 1: a lot about like how you plea and what happens

428
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: when you plea a certain way, but usually you would

429
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: think if Raja wanted to take a deal and shorten

430
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: his sentence, he would plead guilty and then they would

431
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: work on a deal. If you plead not guilty, you're

432
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: trying to fight this. And I don't mean trying to

433
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: fight in the way that he did Stu, where he

434
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: just stood over him and threw punches on a defenseless individual.

435
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to try to fight livestream camera evidence,

436
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: his own admission of what he wanted to do on

437
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: camera as evident, the actual assault being captured, witness statements

438
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: that were there, everything, and none of it goes in

439
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: his favor. So to plead not guilty. I'm not a

440
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: legal expert. I have no idea why someone would do

441
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: that if every bit of evidence was there and they

442
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: weren't looking at taking a plea deal. But we'll see,

443
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: we'll see. His lawyers probably no better than I do.

444
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: And I got two eyes and I saw what happened,

445
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: and so did everybody else in that jury, and that

446
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: judge will as well. So what happened? It's next Veraje.

447
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: He's got a court date in November. I don't have

448
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: those answers. Comment below what you think, and in November

449
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: we'll revisit it, because then and only then, I guess

450
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: we'll find out. All right, folks, we are back on

451
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: the way concept presented by The Ring magazine, and today

452
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: we got some insight into the training camp for Davonte

453
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: Tank Davis and what he and potentially his team are

454
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: the most concerned about with Jake Paul and what Jake

455
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: Paul could be the most concerned about with Javonte Davis.

456
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: As we know, big exhibition coming up November fourteenth. We

457
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: are going to do a live stream watch party for that.

458
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: I don't know in what way, but we got to

459
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: make it special. You guys know when I do these

460
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: watch parties, they are insane. We want to have some guests.

461
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: We may do a twenty four hour I'm not sure

462
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: leaving the comments what you want to see, but we

463
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: may be seeing the formulation of a game plan and

464
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: tactic from this training footage from Jervonte Davis, and I

465
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: think I may understand the key of what they want

466
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: to do, how they want to go about it, and

467
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: why Jake Paul might be in more trouble than I

468
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: originally thought. What do I mean, breakdown? Let's go all right?

469
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: So Calvin Ford, coach for Davonte Davis, has been for

470
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: pretty much since Davonte started boxing, sat dow with Marcos

471
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: over at Fight Hub. Shoutut to Marcos for the footage. Man,

472
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: He's always killing the game with interviews and everything else.

473
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: He sat down with Marcos and they talked about Tank

474
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: and potentially what he will do after the Jake fight,

475
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: why he's doing the Jake fight, and what their biggest

476
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 1: concerns are. Which your biggest concerns end up being what

477
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: you turn into your biggest weapons that things are most

478
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: concerned about. You look to exploit because that's usually the

479
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: other person's greatest strength and behind is their greatest weakness.

480
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take a look at this interview and

481
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: show you guys why I think Jake might actually be

482
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: in a little more trouble than I originally thought with

483
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: this fight, and why I'm gonna be more excited to

484
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: see what Tank brings. If the mindset is where I

485
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: think it is.

486
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 2: So how are we with with everything?

487
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 3: Man? How's Tank been a good hairspace? Great hairspace, looking good,

488
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 3: you know, just trying to go through our stages. You know,

489
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 3: it's like pre camp in camp, you know, get him

490
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 3: from We ain't foot in a while, you know what

491
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 3: I'm saying. We was getting prepared for a roach and

492
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 3: then we got blessed with this fight.

493
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: That's how I look at it. You know, interesting comment

494
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: there that they were getting ready for the Roach rematch

495
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: and then this fight was you know, he said they

496
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: got blessed with this fight, but this fight came through.

497
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: So the plan was actually to go in and rematch

498
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: Lamont Roach, which is something that I think he should

499
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: have done. I think they they you know, for Tanks legacy,

500
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: for you know, just the sanctity of pro boxing when

501
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: it comes to a world champion and what they do

502
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: with that world championship belt. I think he should have

503
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: taken the Lamont roch rematch. It seems like they were

504
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: going to. But the obvious reason that everyone I think

505
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: knows why they didn't is because Netflix and a Jake

506
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,479
Speaker 1: Paul fight come with a massive back, like there's probably

507
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: no comparison to what Tank will make to fight Lamont

508
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: Roach or anybody else compared to Jake Paul. Whether you

509
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: like that or not, it's the truth. He is a

510
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: money fight and so his Tank, and that's why they're

511
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 1: going to do a shit ton of viewers on Netflix

512
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: and why they're gonna both make a shit ton of money.

513
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: So the point I want to take away from that

514
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: is that they were starting to get their minds and

515
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: body ready for Lamart Roach, which means that Tank was

516
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: in somewhat of a serious pre camp right, somewhat of

517
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: a serious, you know, workout regiment, getting himself in shape.

518
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: Not the Tank is super out of shape out of camp,

519
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that. But this means that he was

520
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: mentally preparing for a fight regardless. It's not hopping off

521
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: the couch Tank, which is not what you want to see,

522
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: even against Jake Paul, because the least serious you take Jake,

523
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: and I've said this about everybody that's fought him, ones

524
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: that don't take him serious, the ones that say he's

525
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: a YouTuber and everything else, they end up losing, or

526
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: they end up looking like, oh wait a second, this

527
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: guy was a little better than I thought. They end

528
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: up either getting taken by surprise or actually sometimes losing

529
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: because they don't realize that Jake actually takes as serious.

530
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: So this is good to hear. Just already right off

531
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: the rip, they were already doing something surprise.

532
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: So tell me, you know how when did you hear

533
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: about this?

534
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 3: I've been going back and forth for years. Tank and Jake,

535
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 3: they've been going at it for years, and uh, it

536
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,479
Speaker 3: would have happened sooner, you know what I'm saying. But

537
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 3: we have hiccups in life, That's what I call it, hiccups,

538
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 3: but they lessons to learn from. But we're back on

539
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 3: track and keeping them moving.

540
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 2: When you heard about the fight where you're like, wait what,

541
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 2: like we're doing what?

542
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:14,719
Speaker 1: Actually?

543
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 3: When I heard about the fight, they called me in

544
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 3: and said what you thought about the fight?

545
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: I say, the fight doable. You know what I'm saying.

546
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 3: Because I watched Tanky for years, and I watched other

547
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 3: young men's and.

548
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: Gems.

549
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 3: You don't deal with big guys, you know what I'm saying. Yes,

550
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 3: he's big. To me, it's like Jake having his first

551
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 3: open fights. If anybody know about the ambags going open,

552
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 3: then you go pro. So you know he's a going

553
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 3: to fight a guy that does have skills.

554
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's that's an honest, I think assessment from

555
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: Calvin Ford on where Jake is and why he thinks

556
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: his fight's doable. I mean, I think everybody is under

557
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 1: the same understanding that skill for skill, Jake Paul is

558
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: not the same level of boxer as Tank Davis. It's

559
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: not even remotely close when it comes to the skill

560
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: of the sport. Now, what makes up for the difference

561
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 1: in skill is Jake's massive size and tanks lack thereof

562
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: Jake's power versus Tank's skill, experience, timing, spe all that.

563
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: But Jake still has some stuff right. He still can crack.

564
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: He's still for his size, is a little quicker than

565
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: people think, and he has a decent enough jab on him.

566
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: But they see something more than maybe something. They see

567
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: a lot of things that they can take advantage of.

568
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure Jake and their team says the same thing.

569
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: But you heard Calvin specifically say I've seen what smaller

570
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: guys can do with bigger guys in the gym. And

571
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: Calvin's been around not just boxing, Tank whoever, He's been

572
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: around the highest level of boxing for a long time.

573
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 2: Now.

574
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure, he's seeing countless hours of sparring footage for

575
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: fighters of completely different sizes, and how you have to

576
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: in those sessions, not necessarily in a real fight, but

577
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: in those sessions you have to problem solve in a

578
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: different way. And that's what they're gonna have to do

579
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: here to get Jake, to break Jake down, they're gonna

580
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: have to problem solve in a different way because they

581
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: can't get hit clean too many times, and they can't

582
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: stand in front of him in trade punches. I just

583
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: can't happen. So you have to do something else differently.

584
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: But he's also a little concerned, which is good. Again.

585
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: I like a coach that shows, even in an exhibition

586
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: like this, who you know, whatever you want to call

587
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: the fight. I like a coach that every time you

588
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: lace gloves up, they take it serious. Whether it's sparring,

589
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: whether it's a fight, whether exit whatever, your reputation, legacy,

590
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: if you want to call it that. For Tank, all

591
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: these things that you've already built professionally are on the line,

592
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: so you have to take it that seriously. So just

593
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: as much as he sees weaknesses and what they look

594
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: at for this fight for Jake, they see stuff that

595
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: concerns them. And it's not just powers, not just size

596
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: of something else. Let's take a listen.

597
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 3: My only concern is, you know, the gloves. You understand

598
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, because we don't fight in twelve ounce gloves.

599
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 3: We don't use twelve ounce gloves. That's training gloves. You

600
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. I'm like, that's two pounds away

601
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 3: from Uh. Jake, he fights in tens, tank fighting eights,

602
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 3: so he's.

603
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: Meant to say two ounces, not two pounds.

604
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 3: He losing four ounces.

605
00:29:59,240 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: There you go.

606
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 3: So thing is I said, they said, put tank and eh,

607
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 3: put them in tense. That makes a fight more interesting.

608
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 3: Get what I'm saying and we'll go from there because

609
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 3: I understand and I bought that question up to one

610
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 3: of his hands. Dave, No, we don't want to do

611
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 3: it's supposed to be expedition.

612
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: What you know, Nan, y'all want to win expedition. I'm dead.

613
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: Uh So, I don't actually disagree with Calvin Ford here.

614
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: I said this when they made the exhibition in the

615
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: first place. I was like, why doesn't Tank get to

616
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: wear the gloves that he normally wears If we're doing

617
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: an exhibition and the weight doesn't matter, then why does

618
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: the size of the glove have to match? Right? If

619
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: they don't have to weigh the same thing, why do

620
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: the glove sizes have to be the same. We're not

621
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: None of this counts on a professional record anyway. So

622
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: let Tank fight in the gloves he normally fights in,

623
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: and let Jake fight in the gloves he normally fights in.

624
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: Jake already has a massive power advantage putting Tank in

625
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: twelve ounce gloves and Jake and twelve ounce gloves. It's

626
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: not the same thing, really, is it, right? Because Jake

627
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: trains in sixteen ounce gloves, eighteen ounce gloves twenty ounce gloves.

628
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: You're already on the on the size part of this.

629
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: You're already giving up a massive disadvantcevantage. If your tank,

630
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: by being sixty pounds less than the guy, now granted

631
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: your skills, your ability, all that on your side, you

632
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: have that as an advantage for yourself. But why don't

633
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: we try to keep the things that we can at

634
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: least somewhat similar to how they normally fight, and that

635
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: would be the gloves. I think that it would be

636
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: I agree with Calvin. I think it would be great

637
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: if Tank had to fight in eights and Jake had

638
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: to fight in tents because it's an exhibition and they

639
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: already fight in those same weight gloves. Anyway, to put

640
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: them in the same way is actually given Jake another

641
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: advantage if it makes sense, Like you put Tank, who's

642
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: already smaller and a glove that's already heavier than he

643
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: normally fights in to hit a guy that's sixty pounds bigger.

644
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: That's advantage Jake on every front. And the advantage for

645
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: Tank is just experience, skill ability. But like when it

646
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: comes to the rule set of things, it all favors Jake.

647
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: There needs to be a little bit more given to

648
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: Tank in the rule set to make it, like Calvin said,

649
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more fair for what they're normally doing.

650
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: If we're talking about ten ounce gloves for Jake and

651
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: eight for Tank, that's not a major difference, but it

652
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: is when we're talking talking about how Tank normally fights

653
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: and eights and jumps to twelves to fight Jay. His

654
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: arms aren't used to that, his weight, his stature isn't

655
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: gonna be able to carry that. Gloves are gonna feel

656
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: a lot heavier. Again, I think that's just fully advantage Jake,

657
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: I don't like that. I said this in my first video.

658
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: They should have done it. I thought it was gonna

659
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: be like eights and fourteen's, but eights and tens. I

660
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: would even be like, yeah, that makes sense, all.

661
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 3: These restrictions, But you want to be great. Being great

662
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 3: is really pushing the amazoge. You get what I'm saying.

663
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,479
Speaker 3: You know, Tank don't really care, you know, So when

664
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 3: I bought this up, he said, dag facts. You know

665
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So again, you know he can wait

666
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 3: at tens and we weigh eights. Then we got to fight,

667
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 3: you know.

668
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: The uh I agree with him. I think that's the

669
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: most fair way to do it.

670
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 2: Weight how's that gonna work out? Like?

671
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 3: Got him at one one one ninety five. I thought

672
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 3: it was gonna be one ninety so in they game five.

673
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 3: So again they keep giving, giving, giving, you know, I

674
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 3: ain't want to.

675
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: Bum And the reason a guy like Tank keeps giving

676
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: and giving and giving is, again I circle back to

677
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,239
Speaker 1: this because it's the only logical answer, is because this

678
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: is a major, major back. That's why he's giving up

679
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: so much. Did he give up that much for Ryan Garcia? Hell? No,

680
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Garcia was weight drinking. Now again, I know it's

681
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: a completely different circumstance, but Ryan Garcia got weight drained

682
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: down to thirty five, had a weight rehydration put on him,

683
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: and still Tank was able to go out there and

684
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: do what he did. But Ryan Garcia made all those

685
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: things happen because he knew Tank was a money fight.

686
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: So it's kind of Tank taking the Ryan Garcia role

687
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: in this fight where he is kind of the B side,

688
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: You're not even kind of he is, and so he's

689
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: having to make a lot of concessions to get this

690
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: and get this back.

691
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 2: When you see this fight, do you see like Tank

692
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 2: just having his way with Jake, like giving like.

693
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'm gonna tell you this. This is

694
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 3: what I tell Tank. Tank said it in an interview. Yeah,

695
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 3: I said, Tank, y'all going there doing y'all thing.

696
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: Woo.

697
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 3: I said, he ain't giving you nothing. Let's look at it.

698
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 3: Look at all the persons he fought. He ain't giving

699
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 3: him nothing, especially when he thought Tyson he took a lot.

700
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 3: He's stripped Tyson of a lot of things. And I said,

701
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 3: he ain't given you nothing. You mean to tell me

702
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 3: you start hitting Jake with some shit he ain't gonna

703
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 3: fight back, he said. So I say you gotta take

704
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 3: him seriously.

705
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: See what I'm saying, Because he.

706
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 3: Talked about he had you on a hitless before this

707
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 3: fight even happened. So his mental is on you, and

708
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 3: he said it in an interview, how you think about

709
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 3: something to make it come out?

710
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: And look what we ad now he's not wrong man

711
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: that listen. As much as everybody has jumped on this

712
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: fight and talked about you know, exhibition circus whatever, this,

713
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 1: there is one reason and one reason only that Jake

714
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: does these type of fights. Yes, I mean well two reasons.

715
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: One is a major bag. Two is to take legacy

716
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: from these professional world champion, former world champion fighters, boxers,

717
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: fighters and boxers. Really did it with Tyron woodleyh he

718
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: did it with Ben Askron. He did it with Mike Tyson,

719
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: well kind of, but that's the entire goal. He had

720
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: Javonte on this you know, quote unquote hit list for

721
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: four years because he wanted to take a shine the legacy.

722
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 1: I'm better than he is. I'm a better boxer than Jervonte.

723
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 1: I beat Mike Tyson. I'm on Mike Tyson's record. All

724
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: that right, that's what he wants to do. So again,

725
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: I will say, if you come in and take him lightly,

726
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 1: he cannot only ruin your night, he can ruin your legacy.

727
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: And that's what you can't have happen if you're Davonte Davis.

728
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 1: And this is why I like the way Calvin Ford

729
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: is talking about this, not like, yeah, we're gonna go

730
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: and do our thing. Well, no, we have to lock

731
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: in here because yes it's a great bag, Yes they're

732
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: treating us well, but on fight night, that guy's not

733
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,240
Speaker 1: gonna treat you well. And he's not just gonna stand

734
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: in there. He's gonna try to hurt you. He's gonna

735
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 1: try to knock you out, and he's seventy pounds sixty

736
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: pounds bigger than you. So I like the attitude. I

737
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: guess I should say that they're taking with this now.

738
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: Tank has not necessarily displayed that same mindset, so I

739
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: hope that's what they're working on in camp. Tanks like, ah,

740
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: you're a clown YouTuber La da dah. Can't do that.

741
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: You cannot do that with Jake. Underestimate him and it

742
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: will hurt you or hit you with something that you

743
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: weren't supposed to get hit with. There'll be a moment

744
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: in the fight that goes a little differently than it's

745
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: supposed to. That's what you can't have half, I think.

746
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 2: You know, like the the boxing fan is looking at

747
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 2: this maybe and thinking, like Tank, there's levels of this.

748
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 2: Tank has been fighting his whole life, Like, yeah, the

749
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 2: way is a big difference. But like Tank's a mean

750
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 2: guy in there, Like once he sees ready, he's gonna

751
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 2: go after him, and like.

752
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 3: What we want to see, we don't. We don't know

753
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 3: his performance of this fight. You know, Tank been talking

754
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 3: this way, and I understand now why he's talking that way.

755
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 3: He's been doing it for so long. You know, if

756
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 3: you work a regular job, you've been doing it so long,

757
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 3: and you see it's like you want to get bored.

758
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 3: So so this fight, Mike, wake him up.

759
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying.

760
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 3: This fight might bring that that beast back. You always

761
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 3: talk about, I don't want to do certain things. I

762
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 3: need my beast to be in me, you know, and

763
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 3: being around me. He's at a good place fight now,

764
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 3: a great place.

765
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: That's the thing that you worry about with Tank, and

766
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: not only as his career goes forward, but just for

767
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: this fight. How much motivation does he have outside of just,

768
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 1: you know, the money that's involved in it to get

769
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: into that mindset of a boxer again, He's talked about

770
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: it in World Championship fight, Frank Martin and Lamont Rose

771
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: talk about I don't I don't like fighting. I don't

772
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: want to do this anymore. I want to go to

773
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: therapy and get all this anger I got out so that,

774
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: you know, I can go raise my kids. And that's

775
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: a great, super awesome thing. And fighting, you know, when

776
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: you're not doing it as a need anymore, And if

777
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: you're not motivated to be a fighter, and that's not

778
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: that killer instincts not in your head, it's probably not

779
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,919
Speaker 1: for you because the other guy has it and he's hunger.

780
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: When you get to that point, you probably should exit

781
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: the sport. So we're gonna have to see again. We've

782
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: had questions about Tank in a lot of fights recently

783
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: about his commitment to the sport and commitment to just

784
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: being able to go into that Tank mode right, go

785
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: into that killer mode. If he can't access it versus Jake,

786
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: that again, that would cause a ton a ton of

787
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: spiraling and all types of bad stuff that they don't

788
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: want to have happened. But anyway, the takeaway from this

789
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: interview I'm not going to show the whole thing, but

790
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: that small segment of an interview is that there are

791
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,720
Speaker 1: that's an honest response from coach Ford about what Tank's

792
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: doing in camp, how his mindset is, how coach Ford

793
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: is there to kind of reshape the way he thinks

794
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: about this and what their concerns are. Now, let's take

795
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: a look at our first footage from tanks camp versus

796
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: Shake and see what he's been working on. See, Bro,

797
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: this is why Tank pisses me off. Man, This right

798
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: here is why Tank frustrates me to no end. Look

799
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: at the talent and the skill and the effortless power

800
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: and snap and rotation and change of direction and angle

801
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: cutting that Tank possesses. And I know I'm glazing a

802
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: little bit here, but just hear me out. This dude

803
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: is nasty. Tank has been As a prospective viewer of boxing,

804
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: Tank has been one of the most entertaining styles of

805
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: fighters I have watched in my life. He is just

806
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: snapping effortless power. And again, Tank is about five foot nothing,

807
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: five foot one two whatever, But look at where all

808
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: these punches are aimed, everything to the body, everything to

809
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: the body, chopping downstairs, chopping, chopping, brick can now this

810
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: even his shots upstairs here, that's still a body shot

811
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: on Jake Paul. Everything's a body shot he's thrown. Even

812
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: when he's changing the levels of the shot, that's a

813
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 1: body shot. That's a body shot. That's a body shot.

814
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: That tells me what I kind of originally thought. And

815
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 1: this is just a clip. We don't have any insight

816
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: into into full game plans and sparring and things like that,

817
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: but this is a drill obviously on the heavy bag

818
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: where he's one changing the variation of shot right, the

819
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: speed and power of shot, changing the angle of the punch,

820
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 1: but going for time. So this is necessarily a ton

821
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: of technique work. It may not even have anything to

822
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: do with what they're trying to bring to the Jake fight.

823
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: But when I watch it, I see a guy that's

824
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: targeting the body, and it's the best thing that Tank

825
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: could do for this fight. I mean, trying to go

826
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: headshot for headshot with Jake Paul when he's probably Jakes

827
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 1: seven inches taller than he is. I'm assuming he's gonna

828
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: have a bit of a reach, even though Tank has

829
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: a kind of freakis reach for his height. I don't

830
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: think that's a great idea. And again, you're at eye

831
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: level with Jake's belly button damn near, so you're gonna

832
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: have to be able to land shots right there on

833
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: the waistline. And it's probably the best idea if you

834
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: actually want to knock Jake out in this fight, if

835
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: you actually want a game plan, because again it's an exhibition,

836
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: but if you want a game plan to get him

837
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: out of there, you have to attack the body. Not

838
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: that it's necessarily gonna hurt Jake to the body and

839
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna cripple, but it's gonna slow him down, or

840
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: at least that's the idea, is to slow him down,

841
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 1: to drop his hands, and that way that we're in

842
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: the whatever, six, seventh, eighth round of this fight and

843
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: those hands start to fall a little bit, and Jake's

844
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 1: gas tank is being tested, and then Tank when he

845
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: closes distance, and he will have to close distance damn

846
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 1: near the entirety of the fight. Unless Jake's just like

847
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: walking forward the whole time. I don't think that'll happen.

848
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: Then you'll see Tank if he's heavier with his volume

849
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: because hands are gonna be heavy, but his volume usually lacks.

850
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: Then see him step in and go upstairs. But the

851
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 1: body work will be key Tanks already you know again

852
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: his natural level will be around the body shots too.

853
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a little difficult, I think for Jake

854
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: to punch down and hit him cleanly, especially if he

855
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: doesn't do it early, especially if he can't get Tank

856
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: to respect him early. He's gonna be tough unless, like

857
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: I said, Tank just stands there and brawls with him,

858
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: which I don't see happening at all. So if Tank

859
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: can make a miss, get inside, work the body, make

860
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,240
Speaker 1: him pay there, head movement off center, pivot out, be slick,

861
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: and do it again and again and again. That is

862
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: when we could see a potential Tank Davis knockout. And

863
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: if that happened, if Tank Davis actually knocks Jake out,

864
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: he won't get the credit for it, like, oh, that's

865
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: what you were supposed to do. You're, you know, a

866
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: world champion boxer. But that's fucking ridiculous. It would be

867
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: ridiculously hard for Tank to actually knock Jake out. I'm

868
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: just that's like seventy pound different, sixty pound different. That

869
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: means something. And Jake's not some guy that's never thrown punches.

870
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: He said, relative novice when it comes to you know,

871
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: skill level that Tank has. But still he knows how

872
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: to protect himself. And again his body structure allows for

873
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: some mistakes to happen that he wouldn't have to pay

874
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: for like he would if he was one hundred and

875
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: thirty five pounds point being, I would be impressed very

876
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: if Tank knocked him out cold or dropped him with

877
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: you know, heard him badly because how much bigger Jake is,

878
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: and he knows how to operate in a boxing ring.

879
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: It's not like me getting in there with Javonte, I

880
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: should be sparked out in thirty second. But Jake has

881
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,280
Speaker 1: a decent amount of professional fights, has beat some guys

882
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,720
Speaker 1: that had a decent record on his on his actual resume,

883
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: and understands what he's doing in there. This is all

884
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: Jake does is trained boxing. It has for the last

885
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 1: six seven years. So, like I said, if Tank knocks

886
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: him out, which if his head is in the right place,

887
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: not just literally but metaphorically, his mind is in the

888
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: right place, he switched on and he's able to get

889
00:42:55,920 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: Jake vulnerable to the body like could change very very quickly.

890
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: But that's what I got. Folks. Let me know what

891
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: you think in the comments. Are you liking the mindset

892
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,760
Speaker 1: of team Gervonte Davis? Are you liking where is coach

893
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: Calvin Ford's headspace is? And they're not taking Jake lightly,

894
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 1: but they're also seeing weaknesses there they can take advantage of.

895
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 1: Maybe like we see in this training footage again big

896
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,959
Speaker 1: shouts to Fight Hub for getting this footage courtesy of them.

897
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the body shots that Tank needs to get to.

898
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: Maybe it's Jake potentially not understanding the power even at

899
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty five pounds that Tank has. Who knows.

900
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: I like this for Tank Davis. I like this. And

901
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: the other thing is if Tank is talking about retirement,

902
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: lamont roach Jake and then we're done. What if this

903
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: training camp and maybe a knockout performance from Tank Davis

904
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: gets him back into the boxing mindset, scratch that itch

905
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 1: and gets him to want to take tough, big time

906
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: box office in his weight class fights. And never know

907
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: what can happen, But Deronte Davis is in training camp

908
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: for Jake Paul Calvin Ford says they got a healthy

909
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: fear of something, but they're ready to go in and

910
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: take advantage of some weaknesses. What are they will they

911
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: do it? Don't have those answers, but I guess we'll

912
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: find out. All right, So we are back on the

913
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: way concept presented by the Ring Magazine. And I just

914
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: saw Jerom Boots Ennis introduce himself to the one hundred

915
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: and fifty four pound division in epic fashion. He has

916
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: arrived at this division and he is going to be

917
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: a problem. What do I mean the breakdown? Let's go

918
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:32,760
Speaker 1: all right? So Jerom Boots Ennis versus Usima Lima tonight

919
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 1: at one hundred and fifty four pounds. Boots in his

920
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 1: debut at one fifty four. Now he comes out and

921
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: stops Lima in about a minute, in thirty seconds. This

922
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: was light work or Jeram Boots. Now, let's be honest.

923
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: This is not a number one contender fight of any sort.

924
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: But Usima Lima, you know, he's ranked at number eight

925
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: by the WBA, he's ranked number six by the IVF,

926
00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:00,760
Speaker 1: ten by the WBC, So he's not a high level

927
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: Guy's not a guy that's it's a world championship caliber

928
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 1: when you have the likes of you know, Sarah Boachuck

929
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: and Xander Ziaz and Sebastian Fondora and Virgil Ortiz and

930
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: a Boss Barrau and you know Keith or Like, there's

931
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: so many other Israel Madromov, There's so many other guys

932
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 1: that potentially we could be talking about at one fifty

933
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: four that are going to be high, high level opponents

934
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: for jern bout Tennis. And we're going to get into

935
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: that in just a second. But this was still a

936
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: big time performance. This is still exactly what Boots needed

937
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: to do. He needed to come in make a statement

938
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: not only with his fist, but then make a statement

939
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,439
Speaker 1: on the microphone, and he and Eddie Hearn both did

940
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: that after the fight. This was this was light work,

941
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: honestly for Jernnis. Again, we wanted to see what the

942
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,919
Speaker 1: transition from one forty seven to one fifty four would

943
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: look like. Would he still have the explosiveness, would he

944
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: still have power, would his power be better? Would he

945
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: still be you know, light on his feet, be able

946
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: to fight out of both stances. And we're not going

947
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: to get every answer to that question tonight. What we

948
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: did get is a powerful, definitive puncher and drawn boots

949
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: In it's and a guy that can take a punch.

950
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: By the way, the exchange that spelt the beginning of

951
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: the end for Lima tonight was an exchange that both

952
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: fighters landed in. Boots got tagged with a shot. His

953
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: shot just landed more clean, more powerfully, with more intention

954
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: than Ussima Lima's did. So when we look at the exchange,

955
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: what happened in this fight, boots came out orthodox versus

956
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 1: a south pond Lima and both guys had talked about

957
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: knockouts and you know, putting on show stopping performance to

958
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: sending messages with their performances. But what you saw was

959
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: Lima wanted to be very not cautious, but he wanted

960
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,439
Speaker 1: to be smart. He wanted to fight smart. He didn't

961
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: want to fight reckless and potentially get stopped, potentially get

962
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 1: put out. You know, I potentially have one of those

963
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: nights where you over extend versus a sniper like boots

964
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 1: In is a great counterpuncher off the back foot and

965
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 1: the front foot and out of both stances, and that

966
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: go bad for you. Found out though, even boxing smart

967
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: can still get you caught. Because Nis didn't respect any

968
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: of whatever Lima was trying to do, and it's just

969
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: walked straight forward. And again it wasn't even enough time

970
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 1: to really establish anything because while Boots started orthodox, it

971
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 1: didn't really need to establish any of it. He just

972
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: flipped back southpaw and he said something interesting and I

973
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:20,359
Speaker 1: don't know who said it in the actual commentary booth,

974
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 1: it was Todd Grisham, Sergil Moore and Chris Mannix, and

975
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,919
Speaker 1: someone said that Boots was gonna switch southpaw at some point,

976
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: and he liked fighting southpaw against other south paws because

977
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 1: they don't usually fight south pause like he is, someone

978
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,879
Speaker 1: that's mastered both stances, much like a Terrence Crawford would

979
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: have loved to see that fight at one fifty four.

980
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: Probably never gonna happen, but it is an interesting thing

981
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 1: because southpaws do have a little bit of an inherent

982
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: advantage when fighting right handed guys because they only usually

983
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 1: spar right handed guys, and right handed guys usually only

984
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: spar right handed guys too, because there's not many southpaws

985
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: out there in every gym that you go to, and

986
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 1: if there are some southpaws, they're not great southpaw that

987
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, so now what ends up

988
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: happening is that both southpaw fighters. Lima wants to go

989
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: jab left hand, and something you don't necessarily see a

990
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 1: lot out of another southpaw is a counter to a

991
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: jab left hand by an outside step leaning to the

992
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 1: outside uppercut underneath the backhand, which is exactly what Jeram

993
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: boots In is through, which is crazy, and he gets

994
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: clipped with the left hand, but I guess just better

995
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: chin wins here. It's like it, you know, boots didn't

996
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: defend this super well, but he just kind of rolled

997
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: with the shot, and whilst rolling with the shot, banged

998
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 1: the lead hand uppercut and it was a beautiful, beautiful shot.

999
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: And then from there he hurt Lima and swarmed him

1000
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: left hand over the top. I think it dropped him

1001
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: actually with the backhand lead hook chopped him and then

1002
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 1: dropped him right there with about a minute into the round.

1003
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: And then when Lima got up, he teed off on

1004
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: him again with three or four more solid punches I

1005
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 1: think dropped him again, and then eventually the referee stepped

1006
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,879
Speaker 1: in and Lima's corner actually threw the towel as well.

1007
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: This is a dominant performance, which, by the way, is

1008
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: exactly what it should have been. Nima is not a tough,

1009
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: high level superstar opponent, but he wasn't meant to be

1010
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: for this first fight at one fifty four. It was

1011
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,240
Speaker 1: meant to see how Jeron Boots in us gets into

1012
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: this weight class, how he goes along, and honestly for

1013
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: him to send a message, to make a statement that

1014
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: he does exactly what he's supposed to do to lower

1015
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: level competition, and that's essentially buried. Now everything opens up.

1016
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: Now we have the interesting matchups. We have a matchup

1017
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: that Boots called for immediately after the fight was over,

1018
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 1: which is the fight for I guess the WBC interim titled.

1019
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: Even thoughdor has the bell, his fight called off for

1020
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 1: supposedly a hand injury. I don't really know if there

1021
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: was more detail on that, but him and Thurman their

1022
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 1: fights off, so he's kind of sitting out for a

1023
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: bit here. The whole event had got postponed. So you

1024
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 1: have Virgil Ortiz potentially he's got a fight coming up, obviously,

1025
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: but he's frustrated with not getting his title shots at

1026
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: one fifty four, seeing as hopefully Virgil or Ties gets

1027
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: his business done with Ericson Luvin. You can come back

1028
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: and have Virgil Ortiz versus Jeron Ennis, and that'd be

1029
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: a showdown because they wanted it at one forty seven,

1030
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,359
Speaker 1: both guys said that both guys didn't want to fight.

1031
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: Now we can potentially get the fight. If you can't

1032
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: do that, then Boots got on the mic and him

1033
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: and Eddie Hern both said they want Virginal Ortiz, which

1034
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: is probably one of, if not the biggest fights you

1035
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: can make in American boxing right now. Let's be honest.

1036
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: I know that neither of them hold a belt, but

1037
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: these two guys are looked at as if they're going

1038
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: to stay at fifty four, which may not be the case.

1039
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: I think both guys will end up going up to

1040
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: one sixty maybe even one sixty eight, but for now,

1041
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 1: kind of the boogeyman at this weight class. So of

1042
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: course that would be an insane fight. But if you

1043
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: can't make that, you have Xanders Aias who just won

1044
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: the WBO belt, maybe something that Boots would look too.

1045
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: I would favor him in that fight. You have a

1046
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: Boss Barraw who won the WBA belt just recently, and

1047
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,240
Speaker 1: that guy is a fucking monster, as well that would

1048
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: be a fight. I mean, Boots is the interim with

1049
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: the WBA, so that could be a fight to be

1050
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: made as well. You have the IDF belt out there.

1051
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: There's so much that Boots can do right now that

1052
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 1: has him in a ton of different scenarios for big fights.

1053
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: But the two things I think you can do right

1054
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: away is say, okay, well he either is going to

1055
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: take the Virgil fight depending on what happens with Virgil

1056
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: and Luman, or he's gonna go belt hunting. Those are

1057
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: the two paths right now for Boots in US. And

1058
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: again I don't want to overstate this this performance and

1059
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: act like it was, you know, him walking in and

1060
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: dropping Virgil Orties in round one and win in the fight.

1061
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: It's that that's not what happened. Again, Lima is not

1062
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: that level. He's just not. But it was a good, needed,

1063
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: solid stamp of approval performance for Boots, just to get

1064
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,799
Speaker 1: him in front of eyes, just to get him established

1065
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: at this weight class. Now is where the real business starts.

1066
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: Now is where you go and prove it where you going.

1067
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:50,359
Speaker 1: And again he's doing exactly what he needs to do.

1068
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: Say names, call people out, say I'm better than a

1069
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: boss Barral, I'm better than Fundor, I'm better than virgial Orties,

1070
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: better than Xander's eyes, better than all these guys, and

1071
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 1: then go and get it done. So I love this

1072
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: performance for Boots. I love the the trajectory he's on.

1073
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: Him and virgual or Ties are the two most dangerous

1074
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,479
Speaker 1: men at one fifty four, and I think, man, even

1075
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: without a belt, I don't really care to be honest,

1076
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: if they have a belt. If they don't, that's a

1077
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: world title fight and I need to see it. So

1078
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 1: hopefully that's what we get next. But yeah, short concise

1079
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: breakdown here, quick to the point, because that's exactly how

1080
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: the fight went between Jeron Boots and us and Usima Lima.

1081
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: This was not even close to a competitive fight, complete

1082
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: blowout as it should have been, and Boots did exactly

1083
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: what he needed to do. No more of this, though,

1084
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm I'm I don't want to see

1085
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: any more of this at one fifty four. I don't

1086
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: want to see you know, we need another warm up

1087
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 1: or we need another No, We're getting straight to action

1088
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: here and I want to see what Boots can do

1089
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 1: at one fifty four. Can he go belt? Chasing. Can

1090
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: he go hunt all the belts? Will he fight Virgil

1091
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: or Tees? Is he one of the best in the world.

1092
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,720
Speaker 1: I think he is. I need to see it now

1093
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: at this weight class. I need to see it against Virgil, Mendora,

1094
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: braw Zias Sermon. I need to see it against all

1095
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 1: of them. Hopefully that's what's next, but I don't have

1096
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 1: those answers. You guys, let me know what did you

1097
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: think of this performance from drawn Boots NSC wins by

1098
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 1: first round knockout, making it look easy because it was

1099
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,240
Speaker 1: in his debut at one hundred and fifty four pounds.

1100
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 1: Don't know what's next, but I guess we'll find out
