1
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: The Boxing Breakdown is back. My name is Brian Campbell,

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: one half of your Morning Combat duo, going solo today.

3
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: Why look, there's a big one this Saturday on the

4
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: Box calendar, and I had to get you all kinds

5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: of fired up. Whether you're a hardcore fan, whether you're

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: a casual, here's what you need to know about this

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: Saturday's trilogy about from Las Vegas. It's Canelo Alvarez versus

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: Gannati Glovekin Part three, one of the most historic rivalries

9
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: of this era or any We know the grudge match implications,

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: we know it's been four years since these two ist

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: touch gloves. But this Saturday, as I mentioned the first

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: of this series at one hundred and sixty eight pounds, Hey,

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: we're gonna find out. We're gonna find out the answers

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: to many questions. So allow me right now in the

15
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: Boxing Breakdown to set the stage in three major categories.

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: Why this fight matters, what to watch for and why?

17
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: And most importantly, what does each fighter have to do?

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: Who wins and why? What are the keys to victory

19
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: to look for as we head into this third meeting?

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: So why don't we get started right away?

21
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: Uh?

22
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: Why does this fight matter. Look, two of the biggest

23
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: stars of this era. It's been a while since they

24
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: touched gloves. Twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen were the first

25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: two fights, both unifications for middleweight titles, and if you

26
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: don't remember what happened, let's take you back to twenty seventeen.

27
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: Canella Alvarez moving up in wait, coming up to the

28
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: middleweight division, and we ended with one of the most

29
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: controversial finishes in modern boxing history, a split draw at

30
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: the end of the day one fifteen one thirteen in

31
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: favor of Glovekin won fourteen one fourteen, and of course,

32
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: the outlier Adelaide Bird giving us the one eighteen one

33
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: ten scorecard for Canelo, which fueled all kinds of controversy

34
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: and disputes. They scheduled to do it six months later

35
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: in May of twenty eighteen. A failed drug test due

36
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: to clen buterol for Canelo Alvarez delayed it to the fall,

37
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: but only furthered the bad blood between them. When the

38
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: second fight came around in late twenty eighteen, these two

39
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: delivered yet another all action classic, even better than the first,

40
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: and it went down as a majority decision through twelve

41
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: rounds four Canelo Alvarez one fifteen, one thirteen on two

42
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: scorecards and one fourteen, one fourteen on the third. What's

43
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: happened in the four years since then? A lot to

44
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: be fair, both fighters getting signed to Dezone after the

45
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: fall of HBO Boxing's long reign and despite a lot

46
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: of money being thrown at them by his own to

47
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: essentially make this trilogy as the centerpiece of what the

48
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: streaming network was trying to do upon its launch. It

49
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: took a while, seemingly to get Canelo Alvarez interested in

50
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: wanting to do this. He felt he'd already won the rivalry.

51
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: He wanted to move up tow one hundred and sixty

52
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: eight pounds where he became the first four belt undisputed champion,

53
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: and if he of course split two fights on the

54
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: title level at light heavyweight. So we're going to do

55
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: this a third time at one hundred and sixty eight pounds,

56
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, But of course a lot has changed.

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: Triple G now forty years old, Canelavaro is at thirty two,

58
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: still the palfer pound king on my scorecard, but just

59
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: four months removed from just the second loss of his career.

60
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: A decision defeated Dmitri Beval. So there's plenty of different

61
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: motivations and you know stakes in this one. So why

62
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: does this fight matter? Well, first of all, it's historically relevant.

63
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: First of all, the third fight of really the second

64
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: best rivalry in this modern era of boxing over the

65
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: last twenty twenty five years. What's the first the four

66
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: fight series between Many Pakiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. Not

67
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: only did that rivalry have disputed finishes like this one,

68
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: and then obviously in the fourth fight in twenty twelve,

69
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: a monstrous walk off knockout by Marquez, it had the

70
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: same kinds of bad blood that we had here. It

71
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: all had two of the top three at the time

72
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: for most of those fights pound for pound fighters facing off.

73
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: And while right now this third fight, Gannati Glovekin is

74
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: in an interesting spot at age forty, hasn't lost since

75
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: the second Canal a fight, a disputed one of that,

76
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: the only loss in his career unified middleweight titles. Came

77
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: back and showed us who he still is. But it's

78
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: really the history between them, the historical relevancy of these

79
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: two fighters as all time greats and pound for pound

80
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: leaders of this era, even if Triple G's might not

81
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: no longer be that same guy, And when you look

82
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: at the unfinished business caused by the disputes of the decisions,

83
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: there's still so much at stake in this third fight. Also,

84
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier, all four super middleweight titles at steak.

85
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: That certainly adds a wrinkle in terms of the gravy

86
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: you can put on top for the winner, because if

87
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: you're really asking what's at steak for both. For canloit's

88
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: to leave no doubt against his bitter rival. They said

89
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: you didn't beat them the first one, you got lucky

90
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: with a draw. People were split on the second one. Well, hey,

91
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: this third one gives you that chance to once again defeat. Arguably,

92
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: maybe aside from Floyd Maywether, the toughest challenge Canelo has

93
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: ever faced, and obviously for a Triple G, this is

94
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,119
Speaker 1: the only guy he's ever had a blemish against. Triple

95
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: G set the middleweight title defense record, had a twenty

96
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: three fight knockout streak, was, you know, at his peak,

97
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: a force of nature. But this is the only guy

98
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: that's gotten in his way and made some trouble. He

99
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: felt he's been wronged a lot of boxing media and

100
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: fans do. He's gonna get that opportunity to kind of

101
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: fix what he feels has been done to him. The

102
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: historically relevant part is a big part of why we're

103
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: excited about this even due to the four year gap

104
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: between the second and third fight. I had a chance

105
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: to catch up this week with Canelo Alvarez, Gnati Gilovekin,

106
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: and Triple G's trainer Jonathan Banks. We're gonna sprinkle in

107
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: some sound from all three on this show to further

108
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: tell the full story. Let's go to Canelo first here

109
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: on whether he believes this rivalry will be remembered as

110
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: historically as someone like me is playing it up to be,

111
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: and specifically, why are these two such special dance partners

112
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: for one another.

113
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 3: I think is one of the best. That's the way

114
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 3: we fought for the three times, right. I think he's

115
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: one of the best rivalry in boxing history.

116
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: What makes it a great rivalry in your opinion?

117
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 3: The styles all around us? I think is this may

118
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 3: go theriborry.

119
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: You know, Canelo's not wrong there, and I think his

120
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: second point on the styles really plays into my second

121
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: point under why this fight matters. These two were made

122
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: for each other and sometimes you can find that and great.

123
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: You know, what makes a great rivalry. A lot of

124
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: the times it's it's the spectacular fights in the and

125
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: all that, but it's lots of it's the contrast of

126
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: styles of what makes these two perfect for each other.

127
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: Canel Alvarez A style mayus slowly changed from the start

128
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: of this rivalry to where we are today, and I'll

129
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: get into that as we move forward. But you know,

130
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: he started as the boxer, the counterpuncher against the straight

131
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: ahead force of nature of Gnadi Gilufkin, who carries big

132
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: time power at all times but always remained so responsibly

133
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: defensively and in terms of how he would set it

134
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: up with that deep amateur background, that they were just

135
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: perfect in the way that they countered and meshed with

136
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: one another. And I think when you put together, the

137
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: resumes the star power of each And remember, you know,

138
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: Triple G last few years really since these Canelo fights

139
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: may not have been at the same level marketing wise

140
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: that he once was, but let's not forget he was.

141
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: You know, he had endorsement deals with Jordan Brand, you know,

142
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: with Hugh blow watches, with many major crossover companies where

143
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: he kind of became an overnight sensation for a few

144
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: years there and stayed that way. When you got these

145
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: two stars together, there was an intensity the styles meshed

146
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: perfectly that I mentioned. I think more importantly it was

147
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: the fireworks that they created. Their two first fights, both

148
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: pay per views, both selling more than a million in

149
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: the post Mayweather Pachio era, which is ridiculous. Why because

150
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: Mayweather Pacio was a five and a half year bill

151
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: to get to this monster fight that we needed to see,

152
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: and everybody for the first time paid one hundred dollars

153
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: to see it. In fact, four point four million people

154
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: or four point six whatever it was did pay. It's

155
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: still the record, just slightly above Mayweather McGregor to record

156
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: a million pay per view buys. After that, some people

157
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: think Mayweather Pachio killed the business for a while. In

158
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: that regard, people didn't have the same trust in putting

159
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: their money down for pay per views when they didn't

160
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: feel like they got the entertainment back for how long

161
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: of a build that was well, Canelo against Javis Junior

162
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: had given us more than a million pay per view

163
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: buys as rare as that has been post Mayweather Pachio.

164
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: But these two in their first two fights, they were blockbusters,

165
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: and even more than that, they exceeded their in ring

166
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: entertainment potential. We were in this used to in this era.

167
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: It sounds like I'm sliding Flood Mayweather, but you understand

168
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: where a perfectly defensive, brilliant fighter like Floyd, he would

169
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: talk in the building often and then dismantle the opponent

170
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: in front of him in ways that wordt always super exciting.

171
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: Canello and Triple G is a proven pay per view brand.

172
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: Whereas even with the long wait for this third fight,

173
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: and even with people rightfully fearful about Glovekin's age and

174
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: whether Canelo is just too good and too young for him,

175
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: you know what you're getting from these two that is

176
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: a mixture of, you know, the blood and guts intensity

177
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: of I'll do whatever it takes and bite down on

178
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: the mouth guard to win the fight, mixed with such

179
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: an extremely high level of skill and ability to adapt

180
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: in the big moments like Canelo did in the second fight,

181
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: to start moving forward and change the really the direction

182
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: of this series by walking down the supposed bigger man

183
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: in glove can They're just perfect for each other. That

184
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: Cananello adjustment in fight two won him the fight on

185
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: most people's scorecards or not most let's say half. First

186
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: fight highly disputed. I had Triple G nine rounds to

187
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: three at ringside. Upon subsequent watches, I'm more happy in

188
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: the seven rounds to five, one to fifteen, one to

189
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: thirteen area. But I think the point is proven. Triple

190
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: G won that first fight. You got a raw deal

191
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. The rematch, though, because

192
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: Canello was able to make that adjustment figure it out

193
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: lean on his chin walk Triple G down. I had

194
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: a seven rounds to five for Glufkin. He was the

195
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: better man on the punch stat numbers. The jab was

196
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: still the major part of it, but Canelo landed enough

197
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: big shots to sway a lot of people. And I

198
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: don't think it's wrong if you had Canelo there, But

199
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: that mid fight adjustment just showed you, you know, how

200
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: close the series is, how great they are for each other,

201
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it does leave open the door

202
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: for what type of adjustments Triple G can make in

203
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: this third fight. We'll get to that.

204
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 4: Uh.

205
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: Staying on this they're perfect for each other theme, Let's

206
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: go back to Canelo once more. On this look Canelo.

207
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: Let's give him credit. He's faced everybody possible, face Floyd

208
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: when he was twenty three right fighting at light heavyweight,

209
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: recently chasing down middle super middleweight title holders, regardless of

210
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: how popular or how difficult they are. Where does chirple

211
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: G rank and Canelo's eyes in the most dangerous challenges

212
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: he has faced in his career.

213
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 3: He's one of the best. He's one of the best.

214
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,599
Speaker 3: I think he's in the top five. He's one of

215
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 3: the best fighter I ever to face.

216
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean, just top five sound like an insult, not

217
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: when you have the resume of Canelo Alvarez, if you

218
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: had me to try to rank it, knowing his great career.

219
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: Floyd Mayweather was the toughest challenge he faced and a clear,

220
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: clean wide loss despite c J. Ross's one fourteen, one

221
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: to fourteen scorecard that night. But yeah, Triple D's probably

222
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: consistently across the board with respect to Miguel Coto, with

223
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: respect to so many fighters in their prime that Canelo

224
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: went in there and be Triple G had a style

225
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: that was perfect to give him trouble and an ability

226
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: to make those two great fights, which is why we

227
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: have a need for this third one. But my third

228
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: and final point on why this fight matters is even

229
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: though it's late, meaning we waited four years to get

230
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: here for the third one, I still came around to

231
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: believe and I stand by it. This third fight is

232
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: better late than never or not at all. Why because

233
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: I do think to a certain degree, Canello's loss four

234
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: months ago to Dmitri Beevall, who yes, is a light heavyweight,

235
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: whereas Glovekin is a career middleweight moving up to super middleweight.

236
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: For this fight, you saw bev All execute a jab

237
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: heavy European amateur upright style that in some ways is

238
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: not perfectly what Triple G does, but intention it is.

239
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: I think that brought Canelo down to earth a bit. Canello.

240
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: You know, I'm maybe the lone powfer pound voter who

241
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: still kept Canelo at number one despite that loss under

242
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: the guise of, look, he's daring to be great on

243
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: like a ridiculous level, and he still lost one to fifteen, one,

244
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: thirteen on all three score cards across the board to Bevall,

245
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: who's pretty damn great himself, and pound for pound, raked

246
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: I didn't hold that against him at the end of

247
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: the day, but did that loss show you at least

248
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: the humanizing element to Canelo that outside of the two

249
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: Triple G fights, was really only ever seen against Canelo.

250
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: It's not, I'm sorry against Floyd. It's not that Canelo

251
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: has never been in competitive fights before. The Codo fight

252
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: was more of a boxing match than a brawl, right,

253
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: But that was competitive. There's been a few of them,

254
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: but we've never seen Canelo handled in the way that

255
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: either Floyd did the way that Triple G's jab did

256
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: in the first two fights or the way that Beevall

257
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: did in using the jab to keep that space fill

258
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: it in with clean, straight, pretty hard punches. I think

259
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: Canelo comes into this fight still my pound for pound king,

260
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: but maybe that aura as unfair or not as it is,

261
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: that aura of just superhuman ability that wake glasses don't

262
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: matter that no matter what, Canelo keeps rising and carrying

263
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: his power with him. Found the ceiling and there's nothing

264
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: wrong with that. But did that make this fight suddenly

265
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: makeable again? Well, it was always makeable again because of

266
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: the commercial potential and his zone's deep rooted financial interest

267
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: in maximizing the fact that they threw what three hundred

268
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: million at Canelo for his first Zone deal. They threw

269
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: a hundred million at Triple G for his first Zone deal,

270
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: yet it's taken them four to five years here to

271
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: finally make this fight. Also, as I mentioned, with Bevol's

272
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: heavy jab style, Triple G still has the one style,

273
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: skill set, and temperament to give Canelo issues. That's just true.

274
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: At the end of the day. It takes a special

275
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: person because of how great Canelo is to do that.

276
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: But Triple G is with that deep rooted amateur background,

277
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: the silver medal in the Olympics for Kazakhstan, the three

278
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty amateur fights, the fact that you know

279
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: he carries that middleweight rain on top of a twenty

280
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: three fight knockout streak. You gotta have a chin, you

281
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: gotta have the technical background, and you've got to have

282
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: the confidence and know how to stick that jab in

283
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: Canelo's face, regardless of the speed difference between them, and

284
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: by the way, that did become a thing in both

285
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: of those first two fights and keeping Canelo in it.

286
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: The speed difference not just with feet but with hands,

287
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: which I think ultimately allowed Golofkin to have success with

288
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: his jab, but prevented him from having big success with

289
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: that big right hand. It's still the same style that

290
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: can give Canelo problems. Is this a different Tripleg? Yeah,

291
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: yeah it is. And again we'll get into that. But

292
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I'd rather see this

293
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: fight happen now when it suddenly pops up again and

294
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: feels relevant and feels necessary, than not at all. And finally,

295
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: on this point, despite them them both kind of saying

296
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: it's more it's more business than person I mean, we'll

297
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: get we'll play the comments. We'll get into that. They're

298
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: gonna say different things publicly, right, but this rivalry is

299
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: extremely personal at the end of the day. So even

300
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: if it's a bit past expiration date, or even if

301
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: the physical changes they've had could alter this this outcome.

302
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: And why do I say that. Look, Triple G is

303
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: like a four to one underdog in this fight. I

304
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: mean he was the favorite in the first one. The

305
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: second one, I believe Triple G was the favorite as well,

306
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: although much closer. You know, Canelo is a wide favorite

307
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: in this one. But the bad blood in between them

308
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: not only matters when you consider the steroid accusations, the

309
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: issues with the judging, Canelo pushing this fight off mixed

310
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: with let's reveal the curt you know, let's show you

311
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: behind the curtain. Canello has had very few missteps in

312
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: his run with this much leverage as the poundfer pound king,

313
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: as the biggest star in the sport where you can

314
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: call your own shots. He waited out Triple G two

315
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: years before their first fight twenty seventeen. And I don't

316
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: think you can tell me differently. Do I hold it

317
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: like a scarlet letter against Cannelo. No, He's given so

318
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: much more good than bad for this sport, for the fans.

319
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: I mean, did he knock out Archie so Lisa's teeth

320
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: on a Guadalajara sidewalk over a dispute over a woman?

321
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: Archie Archie claims he did, you know, okay, okay, all right,

322
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: sure I thought you know. I wouldn't doubt it. But

323
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: Cannelo also took on some fights at Canelo. Wait, he

324
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: took on a mere Khan, he took on you know,

325
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: Liam Smith. He took on other fights that he didn't

326
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: necessarily need to, waiting a bit for Triple G to

327
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: get older. Well, not Triple G is really older. That

328
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: bad blood's still there, which makes this fight still matter.

329
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: So let's get into the fighters takes on whether US

330
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: and the media are overplaying this bad blood narrative. Here

331
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: is Canelo once again responding to the same question I

332
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: asked Triple G. Business are personal? Triple G told me business, brother,

333
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: all business. Here's Canello's reaction.

334
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 3: Yeah for me. For me, look, business is always there

335
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 3: for me, So for me, it's personal. Know for all

336
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 3: that chaid he's talk he talked before, So for me's personal.

337
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna I'm gonna take that like motivation and yep.

338
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: And Triple G who told me it's just business, and

339
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. I don't believe him. I don't

340
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: believe him at all. I don't believe at all. I

341
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: love Triple G is a proud, angry man in this

342
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: particular category. But I said, look, okay, maybe business to you.

343
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: You're a really nice guy, Triple G. Do you see

344
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: this rival returning into what god he ward became where

345
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: one guy was training the other their best bros. Suddenly

346
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: sometimes you share a ring with another man for that

347
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: long and trade that kind of punishment, you grow to

348
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: endear him. Is that the case for Triple G? For Canelo,

349
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: let's hear.

350
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 5: That's a very interesting question. And I'll be honest with you.

351
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 5: I'm an open person and I open. I'm open to

352
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 5: a friendly relationship. We are kind of like brothers in arms.

353
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 5: We are in the same field, in the same business,

354
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 5: which is very dangerous, and so I'm open. On the

355
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 5: other hand, looking at his behavior, at his like way

356
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 5: of thinking, his logic, how he is like high in

357
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 5: the clouds, and the words he's uttering, all that is unacceptable.

358
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 5: That's just improper way to behave. So I would say

359
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 5: anything is possible. On the other hand, you know, like

360
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 5: people learn from their mistakes, people can make certain conclusions

361
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 5: and change. But looking at him, I don't think he

362
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 5: is able to do that.

363
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 3: Now.

364
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's the real Triple G coming out of there.

365
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: By the way, shout out to Triple G's own Russian

366
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: translator provided by his own camp there, and shout out

367
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: to our great producer Mikey Mormle for editing that together.

368
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: But you know, you saw the real answer come out

369
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: into Triple G. Look, he's still sore. He's still sore

370
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: about what he believes is Canelo lying about the failed

371
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: you know test for Clem Butter all tainted Mexican meat

372
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: that he straight up got caught taking ryds, and what

373
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: do they have to do? He sat out a few

374
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: months and then he was back in the rematch with Glovek.

375
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: And then obviously the way that Triple G looks back

376
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 1: at the scoring of both fights, particularly that first one,

377
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: I think part of him has blamed Canelo for this,

378
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: meaning that it's not uncommon in boxing, in big pay

379
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,959
Speaker 1: per view fights in Las Vegas, if there's a benefit

380
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: of the doubt, it's gonna shift to the money fighter.

381
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: And the first fight, that benefit of the doubt became

382
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: stupidly wide when Adelaide Bird scored at one to eighteen

383
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: to one ten for Canelo. Not different than CJ. Ross

384
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: given that one fourteen to one to fourteen decision, Uh,

385
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: you know, for the majority decision lost to Floyd for Canelo,

386
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: even though I thought Canelo lost eleven or all twelve

387
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: of those rounds. Should he blame for Canelo for that? Well,

388
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: he looks at Canelo as the face of this system

389
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: that rewards the house money fighter. With Thomas, though, brought

390
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: up a great question this week, if you got screwed

391
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: twice in your eyes against the same fighter in the

392
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: same city, with the same commission and in the same arena,

393
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: Tea Mobile, Would you really come back for a third

394
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: time and against the same guy in the same circumstances.

395
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: Those are questions Triple G we'll have to deal with.

396
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: Let's move into subhead number two, and that's what to

397
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: watch for. The first one is the key question where

398
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: we are right now. How much has Triple G at

399
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: H forty declined A decent amount, I'll say so, here's

400
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: the deal. He hasn't lost since the second Canelo fight,

401
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: the only loss of his career. As I mentioned, he

402
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: has put together a package of four straight wins, including

403
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: a middleweight title unification in April in Japan when he

404
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: stopped Riota Morada. But in that stretch, he took on

405
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: a no name in Camille Zerimetta in late twenty twenty,

406
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: and even though he stopped him in the seventh round,

407
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: Triple G took a lot of punishment. When Triple G

408
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: blew away Steve Rolls in a soft comeback fight after

409
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 1: the Canela loss, he knocked him out, but he took

410
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: a lot of punishment, albeit from a soft, soft hand fight.

411
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: But you got to look closely at that fight of

412
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: the Year contender from October of twenty nineteen in New

413
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: York's Madison Square Garden against you know, highly respected title

414
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: contender Sergey Derivinchenko, who's given really good fights to you know,

415
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: the Charlos to uh Danny Jacobs to Glovekin. Glofkin came

416
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: away with a close unanimous decision one fifteen to one

417
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: to twelve twice one fourteen, one thirteen. But that's not

418
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: only a fight you could very easily argue could have

419
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: gone to Derivinchenko. Triple G had a lean on that

420
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: legendary chin in ways that shocked us, in ways that

421
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: showed us in albeit by the way, that's three years

422
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: ago up to this point, but even three years ago. Yeah,

423
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: he slowed down. I noticed his slowing a bit the

424
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: first time. Actually in the first two Canelo fights, which

425
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: I talked about earlier, Triple G had great success with

426
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: that jab, and boy will he need it in a

427
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: lot of ways to set a foundation to try to

428
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: win rounds against Canelo in this trilogy. But I was

429
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: shocked in that first fight at the speed difference between them.

430
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: Even though Canelo never known at junior middleweight as having

431
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: decently fast hands, never known as having fast feet, which

432
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: is why he's developed so brilliantly into a high trunk

433
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: rotating counterpuncher who can stand in there yet not get hit.

434
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: Triple G just couldn't find him with his right hand

435
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: in their first meeting, really not in the second meeting either,

436
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: until the second half of that fight, when Canelo started

437
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: to walk him down and brought the fight to him.

438
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: Only let's give Canelo the same credit for that chin

439
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: he bit down. He kept coming. But the fights that

440
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: have happened after it having I think extremely showed at

441
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: the very least the speed is gone. Triple G still

442
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: cuts off the ring very well. He still has a

443
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: heavy jab that he uses as a weapon. But the

444
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: idea that you know, he's not gonna have to walk

445
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: through hell to win this fight. He's going to have to.

446
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: That's just the way it is. That's the biggest problem

447
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: in his physical you know, decline in that regard. That's

448
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: why Canelos not only such a big favorite here, but

449
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 1: you do see a lot of people saying, I think

450
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: Canelo stops him. He has declined. So the need for Canelo,

451
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for Triple G to play out a high

452
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: jab heavy attack which has been his calling card in

453
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 1: the style that gives Canelo the most problems. He's never

454
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: needed that more than ever, but he's gonna need to

455
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: have it more be about timing, and the problem with

456
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 1: that is with the decline in age. What gave Triple

457
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: G the greatest argument for having won the first two

458
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: fights the punch stats. It's not that the punch stats

459
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: are the end all be all of who want to fight,

460
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: but in some key ways, boy can they you know,

461
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: tell the tail in certain categories and really embellish what

462
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: you're trying to say. Okay, Fight number one, Triple G

463
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: was basically all jab all the time, and he outlanded

464
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: Canelo by a margin of two hundred and eighteen to

465
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty nine back in twenty seventeen. One

466
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: year later, in their rematch, he still had an edge.

467
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: It was a little bit closer, but it was still

468
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: the same punching edge. The problem here, for ultimately for

469
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,479
Speaker 1: Triple G is that it was pretty much exclusively jabs.

470
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes you can get you know, the judges on the

471
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: highest level, and you want to ask yourself here, as

472
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: we take a closer look at that second fight, the

473
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: exact total and advantage. There was two thirty four to

474
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: two h two for Glovekin. But you can find different

475
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: strike zones in the boxing judging game, and not everybody

476
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: is just gonna favor the guy who's coming forward and

477
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: sticking that jab in your face, even when Tripleg's jab

478
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: is landing at a higher volume and really is being

479
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: used as a weapon to create that space. Some judges

480
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: not only will automatically prefer the guy coming forward, which

481
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: is why some people believe Canelo deserved the nod in

482
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: the second fight, But Canelo is so efficient at landing

483
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: his power shots that in a lot of judges' minds

484
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: they would take four or five power shots per round

485
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: compared to twelve fifteen Glovekin jabs. Now, Glufkin is statistically,

486
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: according to CompuBox, the best jabber in the history of

487
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: the sport. That says a lot. He's going to need that,

488
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: but with the decline in speed, he's also going to

489
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 1: need to take extremely heavy punishment to win this fight.

490
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: And it's not just to the chin, which let's I mean. Look,

491
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: Glufkin is a cyborg, never down in four hundred amateur

492
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: or pro fights. According to him, never even buzzed Danny

493
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: Jacobs wrung his bell with a two fight combo late

494
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: in their fight that would have killed a regular man.

495
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: Canello landed a monster fight punch right hands in both

496
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: the first fight and in round nine of that second fight,

497
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: where you're just like good lord and Triple G shook

498
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: it off and kept coming. We're gonna need him to

499
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: lean on that shield and ways to offset that speed

500
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 1: disadvantage and the decline of his ability in ways that

501
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: he never has before while still maintaining a high output

502
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: with the jab, because if the high output is not there,

503
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: giving Triple G a potential argument on the scorecards against

504
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: Canelo if they go there for a third time, and

505
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: by the way, the history of their chins tend to

506
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: tell you they probably will go to the scorecards unless

507
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: you really are playing into this decline in Triple G

508
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: and the idea that Canelo might be able to finish

509
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: him to the body, which, by the way, what's some

510
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: of the biggest changes we've seen since the first fight.

511
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: You know, it's Canelo's improvement on being just a body

512
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: punching machine. But you know, Triple g'sn't have to go

513
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: a long way. He compared what he's trying to do

514
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 1: at forty, you know, to Tom Brady in the NFL.

515
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a crazy comparison to look at

516
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: what George Foreman did at forty five by knocking out

517
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: Michael Moore to win the heavyweight title. Because let's be fair,

518
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: Hair Canelo, to me is still a popopound king. Triple

519
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 1: G at forty enters into a bit or third fight

520
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: with the only guy to put a blemish on his

521
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 1: record and finds a way to beat him. This, you know,

522
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: this is without question the biggest win of his career.

523
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: So let's hear from Triple G talking about exactly how

524
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: he feels at forty and how that might affect this fight.

525
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: Have how have you tailored your offense for the reality

526
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: is that you might not be as quick as you

527
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: once were.

528
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 2: You know, Briddy, you know higher field.

529
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: Right now, you feel like you're twenty five, right, I

530
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: bet you're right.

531
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 5: Well, I'm just a human two legs, two arms, and

532
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 5: people who were forty who were in my shoes understand

533
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 5: what I feel now. Younger athletes maybe not yet, but

534
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,239
Speaker 5: those who turned forty old ready they know exactly what

535
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 5: I'm talking about.

536
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: Here's the deal. If he's unable to land the jab consistently,

537
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: his only avenue to victory is going to be a

538
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: brawl here and there. You know, there's a lot of

539
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: people saying that given the bad blood and given the

540
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: fuel that Mark has had in that fourth fight with Paki,

541
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: out and knock him out, maybe that's the best style

542
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: and strategy anyway, given the decline skills of Glove can

543
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: to do that. You know, I don't know talking to

544
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: him and talking to his coach if they will do that,

545
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: if they plan on doing that. But if the job

546
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: is not finding a home consistently, Glove can well have

547
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: no the choice but to do that, to bite down

548
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: and fight his way out. So what to watch for?

549
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: First and foremost, as I mentioned Triple G to offset

550
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: that age, that job is going to have to be

551
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: sharp first, and he is going to have to put

552
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: Canelo in a position to counter and lower his output

553
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: and really load up for big power shots to give

554
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: Triple G that potential advantage on the scorecards, or at

555
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: least to build the foundation for a potential strong finish

556
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: to steal the fight. It must be there. But number

557
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: two on what to watch for is what I teased

558
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: around in terms of the body, Canello's best best path

559
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: for a knockout, given the history of both having insane chins,

560
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: it actually is to the body. I think Jonathan Banks,

561
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: the trainer of Triple G, who wasn't the trainer in

562
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: the first two fights against Canelo, that was Able Sanchez.

563
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: There may be a reason why able Sanchez was fired

564
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: after the second Canelo Alvarez fight, But what Banks sort

565
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: of told me is that you look at Cane, you

566
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: look at how Canelo. I'm sorry, how Canelo has consistently

567
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: gone to the body since these first two fights. That

568
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: transition for Canelo may have actually happened in the second fight.

569
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: In the first fight against Triple G, Canelo was more

570
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: of a boxer, not a traditional come forward heavy jab boxer,

571
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: but looking to be that counter fighter, low level of output,

572
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: efficient big shots. The second fight he switched and starting

573
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: coming forward. So what happened since that second fight in

574
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, Canelo only had one more fight at middleweight.

575
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: It was a very close decision, went over Danny Jacobs.

576
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: Every other fight was at one hundred and sixty eight

577
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: and one hundred and seventy five pounds, and what made

578
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: That so interesting thing is Canello completely changed his identity

579
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: in those two divisions, essentially becoming a walk you know,

580
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: come forward, stalking menace who went to the body in

581
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: huge ways, folded Rocky Fielding and have to win that

582
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: secondary title. You know, stop Billy Joe Saunders. I'm not

583
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: to the body, but with that ridiculous sort of side

584
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: half uppercut, you know, and every one of these title wins,

585
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: so Callum Smith, you know, Caleb Plant just going ham

586
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: to the body. Canelo is one of the most insanely persistent, accurate,

587
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: powerful body punchers. It's becoming out for him to go

588
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: to that left hook to deliver and get you out

589
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: of there. And ultimately I think that's with Triple G's

590
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: chin just being Look if Triple Day was staying boxing,

591
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: if you can see the punches coming, it's just about

592
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: you biting down and during the pain, right, it's as

593
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: long as you can see it coming, your chin's not

594
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: gonna get turned your equivalent. Everyalm's not gonna be off.

595
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: You know, your brain's not gonna get jumbled. You're not

596
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: gonna get knocked down. Triple G got hurt to the body,

597
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: it seemed he won't admit it, but it seemed Againstravinchenko.

598
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: That is a big thing to watch out for. If

599
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: Canelo early on is basically saying, Okay, I'm gonna try

600
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: my best to get in and out of Triple G's jab,

601
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: but I am going to build a foundation early downstairs.

602
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: What will that do? That will suck away at Triple

603
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: G's gas tank, that will leave him vulnerable in the

604
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: second half when Canelo tends to turn it up, And

605
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: how this plays into Abel Sanchez, the former trainer of

606
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: glove Can is Mikey, can we our great producer, can

607
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: we throw back up the punch stats of the first fight.

608
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: The biggest thing that's stood out in the first fight,

609
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: despite the fact that Glovekin landed more punches and had

610
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: such a huge advantage in jabs, is that despite having

611
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: this so called Mexican style given to him in so

612
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: many ways by Able Sanchez, he only went to the

613
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: body eight successful times in the first fight. So that

614
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: second fight, the rematch, what we're saying, look, Triple G,

615
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: you want to leave no doubt, Well, one you should

616
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: go for the knockout, right easier said than done. But

617
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: two you gotta go to the body against Canelo and

618
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: hurt him if we can throw up the post here

619
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: for the second fight, the biggest glaring thing on the

620
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: punch stats. Look at total body punches landed six for

621
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: Ganadi Glowkin to forty six for Canelo. Being a headhunter

622
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: exclusively against somebody like Canelo whose upper trunk movement is

623
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: dynamic and is naturally the smaller, faster fighter in so

624
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: many ways, especially in the face of an aging Triple G.

625
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 1: Right now, I think that's why Abel Sanchez got fired.

626
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: I haven't seen overall a huge commitment to the body

627
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: in the six or so fights under Jonathan Banks, the

628
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: new trainer. But if it's not part of the attack here,

629
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: this is an avenue I think of potential, maybe not victory,

630
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: at least sustainability for Triple G that he's closing the

631
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: door on now. The counter to that is that look

632
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: to go to the body. Why do so many fighters

633
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: not commit to it? Because you're leaving yourself open upstairs

634
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: to commit to these deep hooks and a Triple G

635
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: at this point, you know with the speed difference to

636
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: do that. Well, Look, Triple G's already essentially established in

637
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: this fight against Alvarez that with that speed difference. No

638
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: matter the age, He's going to lean on the chin.

639
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: I think the body is where he can get hurt,

640
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: and I think that the body is where he can

641
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: get hurt big time. So if I'm triple G, not

642
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: only am I looking to add body punches to the attack.

643
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: He has to find a way defensively to take this

644
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: away from from Canelo. He has got to find a

645
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 1: way to make Canelo pay when he's committing to the body,

646
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: whether that's coming over the top with a clean right encounter,

647
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: which is not a big part of Glovkin's offense. The

648
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: whole idea that it can be jab or nothing. Yeah,

649
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: the foundation has to be a jab. But if he

650
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: leaves open this back door and you're someone saying, oh,

651
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: look at the age difference between them and the ability

652
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: difference over the years, Canelo is going to stop him

653
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: to the body. If Triple G has nothing to stop that,

654
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: that could ultimately become his Achilles heel. Now let's stay

655
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: on the topic of triple G's chin, because I did

656
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: ask Jonathan Banks about it. Look, trouple He's got a

657
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: legendary one. What if this fight ultimately comes down to

658
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: how much damage triple G can take to the chin

659
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: while looking at forty to to unload his own. Here's

660
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: what Jonathan Banks said about that potential possibility.

661
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 4: Oh, I use this model all the time. I'd rather

662
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 4: have it and not need it than need it and

663
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 4: not have it. So I guess I agree with you.

664
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 4: It's gonna be. It's going to be a hell of

665
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 4: a fight. Yeah, my wish, my desires for G to

666
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 4: close the show in dramatic fashion, you know, But believe me,

667
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 4: Canelo could take a hell of a punches with me.

668
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 4: He's he's no pushover from from taking taking shots from

669
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 4: some of the from much bigger guys, you know what

670
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 4: I'm saying. So he took he took right hands out,

671
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 4: the right hands from G that ninety percent of people

672
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 4: fail from and never recover. And he took it, act

673
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 4: like it was like a piece of meat, hated and

674
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 4: kept going.

675
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: They're both savages, they're both all time great, recuperative, stubborn,

676
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: tough iron chin fighters. But that superpower is going to

677
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: have to It's just what it is. It's going to

678
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 1: have to be on full display for glove can whether

679
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: the trainer wants him to go to that dark place

680
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: or not if he's going to have a chance to

681
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: pull the upset and get the victory. Here, the final

682
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 1: point under what to watch for is I think this

683
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 1: is a weird one but important in this case. Both

684
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: fighters should not fear tapping into their emotions. Normally, you

685
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: don't want to do that, right. No one wants to

686
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: come in combat sports into a fight all jacked up

687
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 1: to hurt the other man because you know, it gases

688
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: you out, the tension, and it takes you off of

689
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: your game plan. Right. So you know, I talked to

690
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: Triple G about the business or personal. He's staying in

691
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: that lane so hardcore of its just business. I don't

692
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 1: know if that's going to be the fuel he necessarily needs,

693
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: even though I thought he was kind of playing me.

694
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: I think if he doesn't tap into that emotion of

695
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: the anger between them and what this fight winning it

696
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: can mean to like, you know, taking those two blemishes,

697
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: the draw, the loss that he didn't believe happened. I

698
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: watched with my own eyes. I didn't score for Canelo.

699
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: What's the best way to remove that, right, Finding the

700
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: fire in your pit, in your belly, tapping into that

701
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: je Menul Marquez energy from the fourth Pacchio fight, where

702
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: his mindset was the fans don't really want this fourth fight.

703
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: There's customer fatigue. But if your Marcus, you thought you

704
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: got screwed in the first one, which was a draw

705
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: where Marcus golf the campus three times in round one

706
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: and rallied the hell back. He thought he got robbed

707
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: in und in fight number two, which was you know,

708
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: flip the coin, all time great matchup. And in fight

709
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: number three he thought he was egregiously robbed. I scored

710
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: the draw, but Pacchio started slow. You may remember that

711
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,720
Speaker 1: fight in twenty eleven, same night as De los Santos

712
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: Velasquez one on a UFC on Fox and their debut.

713
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: By the way, Kio's wife reportedly caught him cheating in

714
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,919
Speaker 1: a locker room or approached him in the locker room

715
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 1: before that fight. It was like, you need to change

716
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: your ways. So not only did Pacio come out flat

717
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: in the third Marquez fight, he came out as a counterpuncher.

718
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: He tried to counter the counterpuncher. It didn't work. Pacquiao

719
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 1: rallies down the stretch. Marcuz feels he's screwed again. By

720
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: the way, it's not dissimilar to where Glovekin's at. What

721
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: did Marquez do well? He probably loaded up on a

722
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: shitload of performance dancing drugs so that at age forty

723
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: he could be jacked up and bricked and still you know,

724
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: like number three pound for pound. But he lured Pachio

725
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: into a brawl and he took the judges out of it. Now, look,

726
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: I asked Triple G, you know you want to do

727
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: that same thing? Is that the best strategy if you've

728
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: gotten screwed twice? You know? His response is no, Ideally

729
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: he'd like to get a knockout. But you know, given

730
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: the chin of Canelo, given what happens against elite oponents,

731
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: it's hard. I'll respect that. You do have to look

732
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: deeper into what we were debating on Morning Combat this week.

733
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: If you what's the definition of you know, of insanity

734
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: doing the same thing three times in row getting the

735
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: same results, Something here has to change in a big way.

736
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: And I think for Triple G, if he doesn't tap

737
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: into those emotions, Canello will And I think that's you know,

738
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,240
Speaker 1: ultimately the key Canello's coming into this fight. You could argue,

739
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: and we argued earlier this week, does he have the

740
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 1: right motivation to win this fight. Well, talking to him yesterday,

741
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: it kind of you heard that sound earlier. It kind

742
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: of seemed like it does. He's still holding Triple G

743
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: guilty for these comments, these accusations, and I think we

744
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: can't overlook that coming off of the Bevall loss, when

745
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: he was superman, right, when he was pound for pound

746
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: king and couldn't do wrong, then he got humbled. I

747
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 1: think Canelo has the full spectrum motivation now to come

748
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 1: in here and handle his business. And if Triple G

749
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: doesn't dig into those deep dark stuff, especially in the

750
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: second half of this fight, and leave no doubt and

751
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: use every ounce that he has inside of him to

752
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: try to get this win, Canelo will do the exact

753
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: same to him. Now, why do I say that there's

754
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: history here. Am I calling Triple G a front runner? No,

755
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: But in his very close fights, the two Canelo ones,

756
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: the one against Danny Jacobs, which I scored a draw

757
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: very close glove can win at Madison Square Garden in

758
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: the same building, the fight against Darravinchenko. I didn't see

759
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: an urgency of Triple G too rally late in fights

760
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: that were obviously close, and I saw a guy a

761
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: little too robotic and a little too safe. Robotic meaning

762
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: live and die by the jab, unable to track down

763
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: Canelo in particular with the right hands. But I did

764
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: not see an urgency to try to take the chances

765
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: we're talking about leaning on his chin. He leaned on

766
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: his chin just in the course of battle. But I

767
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: didn't see an urgency that said I got to take

768
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 1: matters into my own hands and change the potential results.

769
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: I saw a guy who basically said, this is the

770
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: best way I know how to fight, and if the

771
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: judges don't like it, well you know they wronged me.

772
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: That works once twice. Is Triple G willing to go

773
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 1: to the end of the career and retire and walk

774
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: away zero for three against Canelo. In some fights, maybe

775
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: he should have won but got screwed, And maybe in

776
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: this one, potentially that he could have won but didn't

777
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: go for it. Now, look, we're asking a lot of

778
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: a guy who carries a very high output already, who's

779
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 1: forty years old, to go in there against the best

780
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 1: fighter in the world when he's a four to one underdog.

781
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: I get that. But if this fight is close at

782
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: the three quarter mark and Triple G is not breaking

783
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: glass in case of emergency to go for it. You

784
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen. He's gonna lose a decision. That's

785
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: just the truth at the end of the day. Also,

786
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: Canelo is more dangerous right now, and as I establish,

787
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: he does have something to prove, Triple G's gonna have

788
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: to fight meaner. So here's the dichotomy of Triple G

789
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: that's been so interesting and why we fell in love

790
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: with him the best, the best possible gentleman. Baby Faced

791
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: has corny English one liners, you know what I mean,

792
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: big gift for people, drama show. I like my Mexican style.

793
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 1: You know, we know all the one liners. But he's

794
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: a killer in the ring. But he's a killer in

795
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: the ring when he builds a big advantage and takes

796
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: you the hell out. And it's not that we haven't

797
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: seen him faced adversity outside of the Canelo fight. I mean,

798
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: for example, when Triple G had that flu and he

799
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: took on Gabriel Rosatto that time and Risotto was suddenly

800
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: taking his shots and landing big right hands. It was like,

801
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: oh crap, we got to see glove can go to

802
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: the second gear. Well he did, and he stopped him brutally.

803
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: But what Triple G does not do, despite the mean

804
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: intentions of his punches, is fight mean? Am I asking

805
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: a clean cut guy to cheat? Well, I'm asking him

806
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: to be physical. I'm asking him to show Colonelo no respect.

807
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: I'm asking him to even do what Flood Mayweather does

808
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: at times, lead with your forearm to set up your

809
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: right hand. I'm asking Triple G to do his best

810
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: to offset what the years have done to his ability

811
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: and what the potential built in advantages that Canelo may

812
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: or may not have as the money guy right in

813
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 1: Vegas by fighting differently than the first two fights than

814
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,240
Speaker 1: really he ever has before and being willing to crawl

815
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: to scratch by what like? You get what I'm saying,

816
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: right like, whatever it takes. If Triple G can't go

817
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: there in ways that flirt with legality, I'm not sure

818
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: he can win this fight. But if you're the coach

819
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: of Triple G, do you actually want this? Do you

820
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: want your fighter who's the only known one way and

821
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: had insanely great success to get so far off script

822
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: that he's channeling Marquez in the fourth fight. Well, let's

823
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: hear what Jonathan Banks had to say about that exact proposition.

824
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 4: If that was the case, then the people never should

825
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 4: have got the two jes from the first fight to

826
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 4: be in the.

827
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 2: Third fight if that was the case.

828
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 4: But but to answer your question, nah, I don't.

829
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 2: I don't.

830
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 4: When I talk to him, I'm not looking at it

831
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 4: like the best way for you to perform it's emotionless.

832
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

833
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 4: Now that may not work for every fighter, you know

834
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. But for this particular fighter, the best

835
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 4: way for him to go and go at this fight

836
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 4: is keeping the business and keeping his emotions at home.

837
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 4: That's the best way. That's that's the best way to

838
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 4: do it. You know what I'm saying. He if you

839
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 4: want to pick up his emotions in the locker room, fine,

840
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 4: but he don't need him in the ring, you know,

841
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 4: because this is strictly this is strictly business. This is

842
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 4: what he this is what he do, you know what

843
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 4: I'm saying. So it's gonna be it's gonna be a

844
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a hell of a five, regardless of

845
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 4: how the Jesus see and how the score. Is gonna

846
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 4: be a hell of a fight regardless.

847
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 2: And and as as the fight go on, yes, we

848
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 2: we definitely want the victory. We definitely want to close

849
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 2: close the third chapter of the of the of this situation,

850
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 2: you know, but the emotions plays no part in it.

851
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: Does his trainer know him better than I do? You know?

852
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: After five fights, surely I would guess that the intimacy

853
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,240
Speaker 1: there has glove Can you know, adopted that that European

854
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: amateur style mixed with that sort of cyborg mentality to

855
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,839
Speaker 1: remove emotions and go in there and deliver the boom

856
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: again in fights where he's had a distinct advantage and

857
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: got to a point where he can go downhill with

858
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: that heavy jab. Yeah, when glove Can smells blood and

859
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: he has you hurt and he believes he can get

860
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: you out of there, you don't find a better finisher

861
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: in this modern history. Relive glove Can you know, knockout

862
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: of relive all of them? Okay, I mean I could

863
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: point out one or two. My favorites is Matthew Macklin,

864
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: I was ringside for in Connecticut. That body shot that

865
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 1: sounded like a shotgun. That guy's in there. But when

866
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: you meet your match, and glove Can certainly has done

867
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: that with Canelo, I don't know, Man, You're gonna need

868
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: something different. You're gonna have to dial it back up,

869
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: which takes us to our third and final subhead in

870
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: this of who wins, why, keys to victory and all that.

871
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: I think the last points were saying bleed into this.

872
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: Let's set the stage here. Here's what I mean. The

873
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and

874
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: over again expecting different results. Canelo's back with TRIPLEG in

875
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: the same building, same commission, same city, same circumstances. And

876
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 1: you heard Jonathan Banks T's that they're two of the

877
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: three same judges who have a history here. So to

878
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 1: recap the judges that have the history that are back,

879
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 1: Steve Wise feled in Dave Moretti in their defense, they

880
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: are two of the best that we have in this game,

881
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: which is why they were always front and center for

882
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas title fights. And I think that their

883
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: scores in this fight's history have been more than adequate.

884
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: Dave Murretti scored the first fight one to fifteen to

885
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: one to thirteen for Glovekin, the only one of the

886
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 1: six scorecards in their two fights that went in Glovekin's favor.

887
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: Dave Moretti, in the second fight, scored it one to

888
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: fifteen one to thirteen for Canelo. Not a robbery, perfectly fine.

889
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 1: Steve Wisefeld, who also judged the second fight, scored it

890
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: one to fifteen, one to thirteen for Canelo. Again, nothing

891
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: wrong with that. To show you how fair they are

892
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: both wise fell to Mretti just officiated Canelo's lost to

893
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: Dimitri Bevall four months ago and both scored it one

894
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: to fifteen to one to thirteen for Dimitri Bevall. So

895
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: what we're not he doing here is creating a foundation

896
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: of corruption that will carry over from the first two fights.

897
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: Was there some level of either corruption, ignorre or just

898
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: incapability in the particularly in that one eighteen one to

899
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: ten scorecard from the first fight adelaid Bird There has

900
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 1: to be. There has to be. There has to be.

901
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 1: But in general, this rivalry, even with me scoring it

902
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: for Glovekin twice in both fights, is a lot closer

903
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: than that one eighteen to one to ten controversy would

904
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: lead some to believe. So that means that to some

905
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: degree what Canelo has done in these fights has rang

906
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: true to the judge's eyes in a big way. The

907
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 1: fact that he can counter with such big power shots

908
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: and the fact in fight number two that he walked

909
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 1: Triple G down. Now, I did ask Banks about that narrative,

910
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: and even though he wasn't the trainer for those fights,

911
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: he thinks the narratives a little overblown. He says, even

912
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: though it was Canelo moving forward in the second fight,

913
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: he thought Canelo was doing more blocking to try to

914
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: get inside, and it was Triple G and the punch

915
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: stats to tell you that was consistently jabbing him to

916
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:03,720
Speaker 1: keep it away. But judges love power shots more than jabs,

917
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: rightfully so. So the definition of insanity in my eyes

918
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:09,760
Speaker 1: would be to go back in the same fight against

919
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: the same fighter with two of the three same judges

920
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: and the same whole foundation, given the years apart, given

921
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: the decline in age, and fighting the same exact style

922
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,240
Speaker 1: and game plan. Now, could Triple G and Jonathan Banks

923
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 1: be telling me or any other media members things that

924
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 1: can you know, try to trick up Canelo. It's possible

925
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: you could play gamesmanship there, But Triple G has always

926
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 1: been an honest dude about that life. And what I

927
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: took from my interviews with him and his trainer is

928
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 1: that they don't plan on changing a thing that when

929
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: they look at Canelo and they believe that dmitri Val

930
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: in particular, took things from that took things from Glofkin's

931
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: performance in the first fight against Canelo and utilize that

932
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: against Canelo to beat him. I agree with that. We

933
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: do have to remember again that Triple G is a

934
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: middleweight who's moving up to super middleweight and Bevoll is

935
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: a light heavyweight with some stiff punches along with the technique.

936
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,760
Speaker 1: I do agree with that, But my key to victory

937
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: for Triple G, if he is to do so in

938
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:16,839
Speaker 1: this fight, he has to be far less predictable than

939
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: he has been. In fact, if he comes in with

940
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: that same exact mindset, which it sounds like they are of,

941
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna live and die by this jab. Yeah, I'm

942
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: gonna try to set up that right hand. But it's

943
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: the jab, it's the technical balance, it's staying in Canello's face,

944
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 1: it's cutting off the ring to always live and die. Look,

945
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 1: Triple G's jab, like I said, statistically, the best we've

946
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: ever seen, and it is a weapon. But he's slower

947
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: and Canelo's better. If Triple G stays the same predictable

948
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: of one one two, he's gonna find predictable results. And

949
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: that's either being stopped to the body or losing another

950
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:01,439
Speaker 1: competitive maybe even close, who knows. And that's the thing.

951
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: We are kind of in a way, and I did

952
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: this too. I was guilty of this last year and

953
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: a half, the idea of this third fight, like, nah, man,

954
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: come on, you saw Triple G against der Vin Chenkoh.

955
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 1: He's not the same dude, and Canelo's amazing. We waited

956
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 1: too long. We don't need this fight. I think the circumstances,

957
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: as I said, have colluded to bring this fight back

958
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:23,720
Speaker 1: into a potential meeting where it makes sense and Triple

959
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: G could have success. But he can't have success the

960
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,720
Speaker 1: old way. In fact, the old way got him really

961
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 1: close but never got him the win to begin with.

962
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 1: And now we got the same judges in the same

963
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 1: seats who in theory appreciate the same thing coming at them.

964
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: It's not gonna work, guys, So what can Triple G

965
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 1: to do different? I like the idea of going to

966
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: the body and not worrying as much about leaving his

967
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: chin open, because, as I established earlier at forty, with

968
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: the declined skills of Triple G is not willing to

969
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,439
Speaker 1: risk getting knocked out to have a chance to win.

970
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 1: He's going to lose a wide decision and it's gonna

971
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: be about how much damage can you? So, you know,

972
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: are there things they could pick up on from the

973
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: Bevall fight, from the other fights in Canelo's catalog under

974
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: the idea that he has changed as a fighter. Maybe

975
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,959
Speaker 1: they're smart men. In fact, that one thing I really

976
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,240
Speaker 1: liked about what Jonathan Banks told me, as I said earlier,

977
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: is that they believe Canelo is no longer a boxer.

978
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: They believe he is a come forward, aggressive fighter. If

979
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:25,240
Speaker 1: that's the case, is Triple G's jab heavy style still

980
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: the greatest defense to counter that at the core? Yes,

981
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: But if they are not bringing in wrinkles, if Triple

982
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: G is not going to be physical in the clinch

983
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: borderline dirty, or if he's not going to be willing

984
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 1: to throw more punches in a different variety than Canelo

985
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: is used to, they cannot win this fight. Canelo's chin

986
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: is too great, it really is. They cannot win this fight.

987
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:55,399
Speaker 1: Something drastic needs to change foundation of the job. Yes,

988
00:52:56,719 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: But if that's it, and if it's passive down the stretch,

989
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: which I mean, there are some people are saying, hey,

990
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,879
Speaker 1: Triple G. Given your age, do the Marquez thing. Look

991
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: at this fight as a six or eight round fight,

992
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: not a twelve round fight. You know, point your gas

993
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: tank in that direction and empty it out. You got

994
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: nothing to lose in theory, I think legacy watch Triple

995
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 1: G does have nothing to lose. Not really right, No

996
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: one's gonna damn him at forty if he loses to Canelo. Here,

997
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 1: there's always gonna be people that are saying, look in

998
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,720
Speaker 1: that rivalry, come on, the guy got screwed. There's only

999
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 1: a lot to gain. And if you have that superpower

1000
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 1: and you do, power is the last thing to go

1001
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 1: in both hands. Hey, Triple G, use it. That's just

1002
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: me talking key to victory for Canelo alpharezm to the

1003
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: guys of who wins and why. It's simple to me

1004
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: Alvarez should start smart, but he should finish bold. And

1005
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 1: what that means is this Triple G is gonna be

1006
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: at his best and most dangerous early in theory as

1007
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: the older man coming in spite filled despite what he

1008
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:05,439
Speaker 1: tells you, ready to deliver. This is where Alvarez needs

1009
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: to be smart, lower that output, be the counterpuncher that

1010
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: he was in the first fight, but established to the body,

1011
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,240
Speaker 1: as we talked about, in a big way, but set

1012
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: the stage for that second half of the fight when

1013
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 1: inevitably Triple G's going to slow down at forty and

1014
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 1: that's when Canelos has to step it up and be

1015
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:26,959
Speaker 1: the fighter of the second half of the second fight.

1016
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 1: Walk him down, but go to the body and try

1017
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: to stop him. Will he It's certainly possible. I do

1018
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:39,320
Speaker 1: believe that despite the age, we will get the best

1019
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: of what's left with Triple G. Now does that include

1020
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: my rent where I need him to fight different than

1021
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: he ever has in his whole career, or try to

1022
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,919
Speaker 1: win this fight even if he doesn't. I do think

1023
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:52,479
Speaker 1: that there's a stubbornness. Look, every great fighter has one

1024
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: great performance left. It's so true Eric Morales with one

1025
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: eye shut against Marcos Madonna to you know, nearly pull

1026
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 1: off a draw. Yeah, it's that they got one left.

1027
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 1: There's enough fuel here for Triple G to find one

1028
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 1: last stand and because of that, I don't think he

1029
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: gets stopped. But because of all the other reasons, I

1030
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 1: don't think he wins either. Canelo Alvarez by unanimous decision

1031
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 1: in a competitive early but wide late spectacular performance unless

1032
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,439
Speaker 1: we see the major changes from Triple G that will

1033
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: offset what time and age has done to him. Rinse,

1034
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: repeat and maybe stoppage to the body. Because yes, Canelo

1035
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:42,959
Speaker 1: Alvarez is that good. Yes he has enough to prove. Yes.

1036
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: I question his motivation, but after talking to him, I

1037
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:48,760
Speaker 1: can see that Ayah, the tiger under there. As Jonathan

1038
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,439
Speaker 1: Banks said, as I think a lot of us say,

1039
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: regardless of where you're leaning, regardless of what you think

1040
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 1: is left of Triple G. Two times this rivalry has

1041
00:55:56,480 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: gotten together and these two have authored action, classic old

1042
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: school title fights with extreme high level of skill, emotion intensity.

1043
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 1: That'll be there again. This is worth your time this weekend.

1044
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,280
Speaker 1: Even if some of the narratives have changed for Canelo,

1045
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,839
Speaker 1: he has the chance to just put away all that

1046
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 1: talk about the scorecards and all that, even the steroids

1047
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 1: if anyone's still talking about that, and he's kind of

1048
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: become teflon to that argument with all the success he's had,

1049
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: be a nice, nice capstone to put on as the

1050
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 1: first man to stop Gnadi Glovkin. We know what it

1051
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 1: means for Triple G, and I think it does mean

1052
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: a lot for boxing and boxing fans indeed, enjoy the

1053
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: ride this weekend. Hopefully I have set the course for you,

1054
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: told you what to look for, what to believe in,

1055
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: and what we can't expect. They'll do it this Saturday

1056
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: to his own pay per view T Mobile Arena number

1057
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:53,959
Speaker 1: three in a rivalry that has delivered, that has meant

1058
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: so much to so many of us. I will be

1059
