1
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Really readily.

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: Donks look at us now, tip to tip. This is

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: our life, this is our passion. That's the spirit we

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: bring to this show.

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm Luke Thomas, I'm Brian Campbell. This this morning Combat.

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 3: Hey, hi everyone, it's one forty eight in the morning.

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 3: Jesus could they put these on later? I mean, wow,

8
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 3: this went this went late. We are in Washington, DC,

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 3: not just because it's my hometown, which I tell everyone

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 3: every chance I get, because I just make it a

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 3: thing that's weird. We are here because it's Tank Davis.

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 3: It's it's Hector Garcia. The fight is now over. This

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 3: is the Capitol One Arena behind me. We're on the

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 3: roof of this bitch. Actually, and I'm not doing a

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 3: bit here. Look you can't see it, but BC is

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 3: right here. He's actually sitting on the floor. Show your hand, BC.

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: There it is. He's on the floor. Why are you

18
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: on the floor.

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: Tifan, you can sit in the chair there.

20
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't kidding. I was telling the truth.

21
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 3: This is the stupidest post by show that ever was.

22
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 3: We're supposed to be talking about Tank Davis. Now, this

23
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 3: is great, this is fine. Uh, we're just having Hey,

24
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: can we have a good time.

25
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: Is that all right?

26
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: We can do a good analysis, all right, So here's

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: how this is gonna go. He's actually writing a piece

28
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: for cbssports dot com. Then he's gonna do a quick

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 3: hit with CBS Sports HQ, and then he will join

30
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 3: us here on the broadcast.

31
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: My name is Luke Thomas.

32
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 3: Of course I have one half of the hosting duo

33
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 3: for Normal Morning Combat, which is Monday Wednesday Friday at

34
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: Live a eleven am in the East. But here we

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 3: are going to get to the results from Tank Davis

36
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: defeating defeating Hector Garcia. Now, obviously, if you're here, you

37
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: don't want this oilers, so I'm assuming that's gonna be

38
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: a thing you're okay with. I believe the official prediction,

39
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: which BC. I think I got it right to the number,

40
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: which is well, it's kind of weird how they did it.

41
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: But basically, after.

42
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: Meek Mill, and I'm not making this up, this is

43
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: actually what happened. Meek Mill the rapper was fighting someone

44
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 3: in the stands here. I'm not really sure who, Okay,

45
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 3: I mean, may have been Gary Russell Junior. I'm not

46
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: even sure, but I don't want to. Meek Mill was final,

47
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 3: I'll put it that way. So they halt the round.

48
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: The round restarts, and Tank Davis just bludgeons Hector Garcia.

49
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 3: He was going to the body with lefts, actually going

50
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: over the top with rights, and then he was catching

51
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: with left hooks as well. He was delivering punishing uppercuts,

52
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: punishing bodywork to the point that they go back. He

53
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: actually survives the round. Then between the eighth and ninth

54
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: round he tells his corner he can't see. Ninth round starts,

55
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 3: he doesn't answer the bell, So they actually called it

56
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: at thirteen seconds of the ninth round, although really they

57
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: should have just waved it between rounds and done the

58
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: three men to mark or whatever of the eighth round.

59
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter for folks who may have missed this, this

60
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 3: is incredible. Tank Davis didn't break the eye socket of Garcia, right,

61
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: He didn't crush it and it swole up and so

62
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: he couldn't see visibly because there was swelling impacting the

63
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 3: eyes ability to quite literally gather light.

64
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: No, that wasn't it at all.

65
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: As he told the translator Felix Tjesu's he got hit

66
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: in the head and it just short circuited everything to

67
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: the point where he lost sight. He said, his head

68
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: still hurt, and the vision eventually came back. Tank Davis

69
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: went in there and delivered a punishing shot so hard

70
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: it rattled his brain. It rattled his brain to the

71
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: point where he just could not operate normally.

72
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: He said.

73
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: Not only could he not see, he didn't know where

74
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: he was. It was utterly disorienting. He's fine now, although

75
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: he has his idiot a headache. But that was how

76
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: devastating a punch. That was what a performance really from

77
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: Tank Davis, and in many ways customary of the kind

78
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: of thing you have been seeing from him, maybe a

79
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 3: little bit more recently, which is giving rounds of ways

80
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 3: a strong way to put it. The opponents making the

81
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: fights closer than perhaps the odds might indicate, perhaps more

82
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 3: than you might imagine, given what often ends up just

83
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 3: being the eventuality of him winning with this thunderous punching power,

84
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 3: with this thunderous in many cases knockout ability. Didn't get

85
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: the official knock out here today, But obviously you go

86
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 3: back to the Lao Santa Cruz fight and just completely

87
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: obliterating him.

88
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: So the fight was kind of close at first.

89
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 3: You had two south pause, you saw Tank Davis having

90
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: a little bit trouble negotiating the distance. I thought the

91
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: jab was pretty good from Garcia and keeping him at range.

92
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: Not a whole lot happened, though. The fight was kind

93
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 3: of boring, to be quite candid with you, I'd say

94
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 3: through the first three rounds three rounds, it was kind

95
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 3: of boring. By rounds four. By rounds four, that's when

96
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: everything began to turn up. That's when the heat began

97
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: to get cranked up there a little bit there on

98
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: the oven. What I saw was a Tank Davis who

99
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 3: was basically able to take away the jab from Hector Garcia.

100
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: I can hear it. So how did he do it?

101
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 3: One he was able to push Garcia back. Two he

102
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: was able to faint and fake and then athletically leap

103
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: into range. But the big part was he was able

104
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 3: to draw out the jab rather than being the kind

105
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 3: of victim of it and waiting for Garcia to set

106
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 3: the terms of the jab.

107
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: It was actually a guy in the way.

108
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: He was pressing and then fainting and faking, drawing out reactions,

109
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: and then by the time the reaction came, the jab

110
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: would fire. Davis read it a mile away, would scoot

111
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: out of the way and then counter, right, It's the

112
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: best time to counter is when they're at the end

113
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: of the punch.

114
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: Now, I mean, yes, you can.

115
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: Cover up here with your with your shoulder to your chin,

116
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 3: but nevertheless, of me, you're just going to be, you know,

117
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 3: much more vulnerable. And often you saw him get counted

118
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 3: over the top with the jab right with Garcia. Have

119
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: they heard it on the broadcast calling it a bit

120
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 3: of a lazy jab right, and bring it all the

121
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 3: way back very tightly, and so Tank just ate him

122
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 3: alive for it, And dude, you just cannot. I give

123
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: Garcia credit. Man, it looked like he was taking those

124
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 3: shots better than anybody could. But in the end, yes,

125
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: you can be as this just shows you what's possible, right,

126
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: Garcia basically gave the toughest kind of performance a person

127
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: could possibly give, right in the sense of just physical durability,

128
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 3: in the sense of a willingness to do what it takes,

129
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 3: an ability to withstand damage, or so we think, But

130
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 3: the human body just has biological limits. Tank Davis punched

131
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 3: him in the head so hard he lost sight for

132
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: a little while and didn't know where he was. I mean,

133
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: I'm not doing a bit. That's like, I'm not that's

134
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: like getting I'm talking to the crew here. That's like

135
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 3: getting hit in the head with a hammer, right, something

136
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 3: like that. That's how hard. That's how hard take Davis punches.

137
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just shocking what that he did. He's

138
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 3: five five and a half. You would never think twice

139
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: that a guy that small could thump the way he does.

140
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: Dude, he will fuck you up. Whoa. He has dynamic power.

141
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: And I think the one thing we saw really in

142
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 3: the Romero fight obviously it played out earlier, was that

143
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 3: and we said the story of the prelim show BC

144
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,559
Speaker 3: and I did the prelims. Here today, his timing's gotten better.

145
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 3: His timing's gotten way better. Right, So here we had

146
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: a guy now being able to set and draw reactions,

147
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 3: time them, counteract them, use dynamic power, flurrying combination's head

148
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: body right right to the body and then over the

149
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 3: top to the head. I mean, just dramatically good work.

150
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 3: He's really beginning to put all the pieces of the

151
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 3: puzzle dire together. I will tell you something kind of

152
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: weird though, Did you guys notice this He would go

153
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: back to his corner between rounds you guys all saw

154
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: this take Davis like looking around being like, hey, is

155
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 3: this so and so here? I'm like, who the fuck

156
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 3: are you looking for in the middle of a fight,

157
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: And then he asked what round it was, which is

158
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,679
Speaker 3: not the I've seen that before. I mean, you definitely

159
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: have seen that when guys have been rocked, right, they

160
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 3: get rocked, they come back like what round is it?

161
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 3: And you're like, fourth, you know that, I've seen that before.

162
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 3: But I've also seen that when guys just kind of

163
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: lose track a little bit, even when they're winning, or

164
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: especially since the first three rounds were kind of slow,

165
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: he asked after the sixth. The weird part was case

166
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: you notice that Calvin Ford and his trainers cut man.

167
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 3: They don't give Gravante hardly any advice. They're like, how

168
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 3: you feeling, I want some water? Nice day to day? Huh,

169
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: pretty good weather. The beers were, you know, nine dollars

170
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: at concessions or whatever. The thing they're gonna say is

171
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 3: that he didn't really give him a whole lot of like,

172
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 3: I mean a little bit of go to the body,

173
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,719
Speaker 3: a little bit of double up on the jabs and

174
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: things like that. But Gravante was basically out there. I

175
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: don't know, seemed like figuring it out in real time,

176
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 3: just kind of feeling his way through it, not really

177
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: stick it to any canny kind of hardcore game plan.

178
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: I just kind of waiting for something to materialize. And

179
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: once he began to set the trap and draw out

180
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 3: the jab from Garcia, that was all she wrote. That

181
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: was all she wrote. It was just a moment. It

182
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 3: was just enough punishment at that point, and that's there

183
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: was no way it was going to go any further.

184
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: It simply could not, Right. There are just simply biological

185
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 3: limits of this. So what does all of this do now?

186
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 3: According to Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix, he says that there

187
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 3: are not actually physical contracts signed yet, but that between

188
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 3: the camps of Ryan Garcia and Tank Davis, there are,

189
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: you know, very clear verbal agreements and sort of a

190
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 3: loose understanding of what to expect and what each wants.

191
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: And I'm going to guess some of the purse details

192
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 3: have actually been already worked out, but there isn't thing

193
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 3: quite official. Let's assume for the sake of argument that

194
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 3: it is official. This is what we got to go.

195
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 3: What do we expect between those two. I will tell

196
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 3: you like I, you know, like the rest of you,

197
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 3: I had high hopes for that fight. Anyway, I would

198
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 3: say my hopes are even higher now. I think Tank.

199
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: Is Ryan Garcia powerful enough? He is fast enough. Is

200
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 3: he powerful enough and consistent enough to discipline Tank early

201
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: to midway through a fight all the way through? I

202
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 3: have my doubts. I think he can do that in spurts.

203
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: I don't think he can do that consistently enough, especially

204
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 3: since Tank's going to be delivering it back. But that's

205
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 3: going to be an absolute, absolutely incredible fight, truly, truly, truly,

206
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 3: tentatively scheduled for April one hundred and thirty five pounds,

207
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 3: I believe right, Yeah, yeah, one thirty not gonna be

208
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 3: one forty.

209
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: Tonight's opponent.

210
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: Doesn't meaningfully tell us a lot because they The only

211
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 3: thing that really combines them both is that their last

212
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: name is Garcia. As boxers, they're very different kind very

213
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 3: different body types, very different games, very different kind of fundamentals.

214
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 3: I don't know that Ryan Garcia is gonna be able

215
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: to take the punches that Hector Garcia took, but it

216
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 3: doesn't really matter because I don't think anyone.

217
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: At one hundred and thirty five pounds.

218
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 3: Can Tank can take Tank Davis's punches if you take

219
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 3: enough of them, right, there's a certain amount that's just

220
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 3: biologically you cannot get over that he got he reached

221
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 3: his the credit card got maxed out.

222
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: Basically today, that's gonna be true.

223
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 3: Of anybody, right, It's gona be tue of anybody one

224
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 3: hundred thirty five pounds, especially this version of take I

225
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 3: will be curious to see. And also remember we gonna

226
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: got Ryan Garcia training now with Goosen and has this

227
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 3: sort of come forward style, a little bit more willing

228
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 3: to engage. Boy, that's gonna make for a very interesting fight.

229
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: But if for folks wondering, like what can we infer

230
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 3: from tonight about that time, I would say, again, Tank's diagnostic.

231
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: Ability, his fight IQ.

232
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 3: We already know about his power and his athleticism and

233
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 3: his ability to leap into range and all that fun

234
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 3: stuff putting combinations together. I just think this fight won't

235
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 3: look like that fight. They're very different fighters, very different opponents,

236
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 3: very different circumstances. But that Tank has this kind of

237
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: real time you know, it's not the most impressive diagnostic

238
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 3: real time ability, but that he can combine it with

239
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 3: all of these other attributes that by themselves are typically

240
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: good enough to win fights.

241
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: Is very impressive. It's very impressive.

242
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 3: He gives me high hopes for a chess match when

243
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: you need one, and a barn burner the rest of

244
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 3: the time. Now again, if you're just joining us, Luke

245
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 3: Thomas here thumbs up on the video hit subscribe, all

246
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 3: that fun stuff. Brian Campbell, I think is now going

247
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: to be joining CBS Sports HQ any moment he will.

248
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: He's finished his column.

249
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 3: He will then join us here in the seat and

250
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 3: we'll pick his brain about this Tank doing the celebratory backflip.

251
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 3: You heard a lot of questions about distractions. Obviously, as

252
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 3: everybody knows been on the story a million times. Tank

253
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 3: Davis about two weeks ago was arrested for domestic violence

254
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 3: for allegedly hitting the mother of his children. There's been

255
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: a series of comments from her and from other people

256
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: about what it all means.

257
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: But the fight did go on.

258
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 3: There was obviously some debate about whether or not it should,

259
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 3: but it did and Tank was well received here in DC.

260
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 3: I said this the whole time, Man, they didn't do it.

261
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 3: People were asking me like, oh, is there a lot

262
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: of buzz in the city, And yeah, the there was,

263
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 3: but like they didn't do any mediaor for this, Like

264
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: they didn't do any busbacks, they didn't do any like

265
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 3: local advertising.

266
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: One to six seven the fan and then and then

267
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: nine to eighty eight am. They didn't have any radio

268
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: ads for it. They didn't need it.

269
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 3: They think they had a either a sellout or a

270
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 3: near sellout tonight, and they didn't have to spend a

271
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: dime on advertising. I mean that's crazy, especially someone who's

272
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 3: seen other boxers, other MMA events come through town. Due

273
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 3: when UFC comes through town, they do tons of advertising.

274
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 3: You could hear it everywhere. I didn't hear anything for

275
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 3: this one. And it's still sold basically at capacity. So

276
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 3: he was well received, you know, whether you think he's

277
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 3: he should have been or not. He was, and it

278
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 3: seemed to lift him for what it's worth. Like when

279
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 3: you ask, like, what how distracting was it? I think

280
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 3: that it looks like Tank Davis just looks like a

281
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 3: guy who lives with some harmless, some not so harmless,

282
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 3: but a guy who just lives with distraction. Right, I mean,

283
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 3: look at look what he was doing between rounds. Like

284
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 3: he was looking.

285
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: Around for people, didn't know what round it was, right.

286
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just sort of this very much managing

287
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: a bunch of different things at once. He can kind

288
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 3: of drill down once the round starts and he can

289
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 3: stick to it. But even then sometimes you've seen him.

290
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: You saw this in the Roly fight. In the Roly fight,

291
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 3: I remember he was talking to people in the audience

292
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 3: when he was fighting Roly.

293
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: How crazy is that? Right?

294
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: So it looks to be just like a guy who

295
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 3: kind of I want to say thrives in the cast,

296
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 3: because that's not really true, but perhaps lives in it

297
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 3: and is somewhat used to it and can balance it

298
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 3: in certain ways, perhaps better than others. Let me read

299
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 3: you some of the stats here from this fight. I've

300
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 3: got it saved here from CompuBox. I'm gonna pull it

301
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 3: up here on my phone because that's of this is

302
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: a very professional broadcast, as you can tell, all right.

303
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: So let's look at some of the numbers here real

304
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 3: quickly from this fight. Let's see what we got. I

305
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 3: gotta pull up our old CompuBox. Let's see here. Okay,

306
00:14:54,760 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 3: So for your main event, here we have it. Tank

307
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 3: walked this is according to compyybox, Tank walked the tightrope

308
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 3: again before unloading on Garcia in round eight, right, landing

309
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 3: thirty of forty six punches good lord, twenty nine.

310
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: Of which were power shots.

311
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: Wow, let's see jabs twenty six for Davis just five?

312
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: Is that really true? Landing?

313
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 3: I thought he did much better work with the jab early.

314
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: That's funny, Okay, all right, fair enough? They only oh, okay,

315
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 3: he threw one hundred and fifty seven. They gave him

316
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 3: credit for five for power shots. For Garcia he threw

317
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty eight, landing only fifty, which is

318
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 3: just twenty seven percent. A very low number for Davis.

319
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 3: Totally different ballgame. Jabs twenty six of one hundred, which

320
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 3: makes some sense, but a lot of those didn't have

321
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 3: it towards the end. They had a lot of steam

322
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: on them early they did not. But here's the big one.

323
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: He landed fifty three percent of his power shots fifty three.

324
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: You can't tank Davis at one hundred and thirty five

325
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: cannot be beaten. If he's landing fifty three percent of

326
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 3: his power shots period, can't be beaten. That is way

327
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 3: way way too much damage, especially over the course of

328
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 3: eight rounds in which to do that. For eight rounds,

329
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 3: more than half of his power punches are landing. He

330
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 3: cannot be beaten under those circumstances, right, So the key

331
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: to beating him is you got to get that number

332
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 3: below fifty percent.

333
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: If you're looking at numeric totals.

334
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: And then again, these are quantitative totals, not necessarily qualitative.

335
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 3: Excuse me, qualitative totals. Davis had scored more punches. Hold on,

336
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 3: Davis scored more punches in round one, Garcia barely in

337
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 3: round two, more in round three.

338
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: That's about right. Those were some close, weird rounds.

339
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 3: Round four is where it began to pick up Davis

340
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 3: landing Davis doubling the number of strikes over Garcia in

341
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 3: round four, having more in round five, narrowing even more

342
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 3: in round six, opening back up in seven, and then

343
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 3: absolutely obliterating him in round eight thirty strokes strikes.

344
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: It it's mma. Thirty punches two three.

345
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 3: In round eight he had ten times the number of

346
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 3: punches as hector Luis Garcia. Guys, I'm gonna say it again,

347
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 3: through eight rounds, if he's landing more than fifty percent

348
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 3: of his power shots and he's landing at quite literally

349
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 3: ten times the amount of the opponent. That opponent cannot

350
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 3: win at one hundred and thirty five pounds. Can't happen,

351
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 3: won't happen, not possible. Not on the board of things

352
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 3: that can we can actually do. You cannot take that

353
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 3: much punishment in an individual round, and you cannot allow

354
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 3: that many rounds of that much consistent punching from a

355
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 3: guy who can deliver it in the way that he can,

356
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 3: like Tank Davis, simply too much, far too much every time.

357
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: That's just the way it goes. That's just the way

358
00:17:59,040 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: that it goes.

359
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 3: Now, we'll save some more analysis for when Brian Campbell

360
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 3: sits back down with us. Let's talk a little bit

361
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 3: about that comin event and some of the rest of

362
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 3: the card here, because I'm gonna want to focus largely

363
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 3: on the main event. Okay, So, Boots and Us pitched

364
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 3: a shutout right, Three different judges all had it one

365
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 3: twenty one oh eight for him. He didn't lose a

366
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 3: single round on a single judge's scorecard. And you guys

367
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,959
Speaker 3: know we've been high on Boots. I'm high on Boots.

368
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 3: BC's high on Boots. The boxing industry is high on

369
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: boots and I'm still high on boots.

370
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: Hello, he pitched a shutout.

371
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 3: The guy didn't win around anywhere on anyone's judge scorecard. However,

372
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 3: I do think it'd be fair to say that that if, like,

373
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 3: if you were expecting that to be, like, hey, we

374
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 3: put him on a tank Davis' co main event role.

375
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 3: This is gonna be the time where he really kicks

376
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 3: it into high gear and everyone pays attention and this

377
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 3: will be a bit of a breakout moment. I don't

378
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: know that it really served as a breakout moment. BC

379
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 3: will make a good point as well. This is what

380
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 3: he said when we were watching real time. It's like

381
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 3: to fight itself is a little lackluster, which was not entirely

382
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 3: of course, and its fault. But then on top of it,

383
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: he has an opportunity for a call out. He has

384
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 3: kind of like a meeely mouthed call out about virtual

385
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 3: Ortiz or maybe Ugas or maybe Spence or Crawford or whatever.

386
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: I think you mentioned just Spence because they're both PBC guys,

387
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 3: but either you get the idea. He didn't really have

388
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 3: a great call out either, you know, just I don't know,

389
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 3: it just it didn't seem off. I'll say this about

390
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 3: I'll call him two kaz and ch chu Kason chew

391
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 3: Kajon chew kads on chew kads on chu kas on

392
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 3: great footwork. He was able to just move, move, move backwards, sideways,

393
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 3: bending over, shuffling, you name it, uh and doing an

394
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 3: in coordinated, smart defensive ways for very long.

395
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: Stretches of that fight.

396
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 3: It didn't put him in a position to get great

397
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 3: offense going, although he could pop him. You know, let's

398
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 3: put a pause. Let's pause the conversation. Let's be joined

399
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 3: here by this douchebag. He's my partner in crime. He's

400
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 3: been farting all day. It's Brian Campbell. I can't hear him.

401
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 2: There we go, all right there, I wait, Hey, what

402
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: I missed so far?

403
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: I was just moving on to the comin event. But

404
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: we can hit the pause button.

405
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 3: Tank Davis beating Hector Luis Garcia basically, I don't know

406
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 3: if you saw the numbers BC and he landed fifty

407
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 3: of his power punches.

408
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean, look, look, that's that's ridiculous. Here's what I said.

409
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: Dude had one thirty five.

410
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 3: If a fight goes eight rounds and Tank Davis can

411
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 3: land fifty three percent of his power punches, you can't

412
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 3: beat him.

413
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: So it's the old boxing adage that if you can

414
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 2: land at least forty percent of your power punches, when

415
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 2: you look at at the stat sheets, the show stats

416
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 2: brought to you by CompuBox, of course, you probably will.

417
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: Have won the fight.

418
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: He landed fifty three percent against a guy you can argue,

419
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: you know, coming in at least where were the advantages

420
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 2: of Hector Luis Garcia had well, certainly the size and length,

421
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 2: which are two things that Tank is gonna have to

422
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: navigate in this proposed Ryan Garcia fight. But Hector Garcia

423
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 2: was more of the pure technician, had the amateur background

424
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 2: fault in the olymp and really made Tank think in

425
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 2: these early rounds. But the key to Tank is that

426
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 2: it's the danger, of course, but it's the efficiency to

427
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: not waste punches, not ever put himself in a bad position.

428
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 2: But Hector Garcia, beginning in around round four, set up

429
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 2: shop within punching range to Tank and had enough danger

430
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 2: with that reach advantage to see Tank navigate it the

431
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 2: way he does, the way he's able to dissect the

432
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 2: situation on the fly, it's Canelo like in some ways,

433
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: it's Floyd like. Maybe it's just unique to exactly who

434
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 2: Tank is. But to be able to land, to be

435
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: that far ahead in the overall total punches landed, and

436
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 2: to be able to do it while landing fifty three

437
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 2: percent of your power shots, I mean, this is that's

438
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 2: as good as it gets in the game.

439
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: Dude.

440
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 3: He was just the big thing to me was first

441
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 3: three rounds kind of boring, right, kind of boring. Round

442
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 3: four is where everything begins to change. Do we have

443
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 3: to talk about round eight? One of the strangest rounds

444
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 3: I've ever fucking seen in my life.

445
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: I mean, short of the fan man in the second

446
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 2: Critic Bowie Fander Holyfield fight for what nineteen ninety three,

447
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 2: where that the action was halted and that actually, uh

448
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: you know, affected the momentum of the fight in terms

449
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: of who was winning and what was happening when it stopped.

450
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: I thought this could have been the case here with

451
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 2: that weird fight right in the first couple of celebrity rows.

452
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 2: You saw big Mill, Yeah, we thought it might have

453
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 2: been Gary Gary Russell Junior at fresh but I'm not

454
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: sure he was a part of it.

455
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: In the end big Mill, uh.

456
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 2: Definitely meek Mill and a whole group of people were

457
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: removed after that to allow the fight to continue. But

458
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 2: I mean they actually pressed pause on the fight because

459
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: so many people were concerned.

460
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 3: Both Gervant and Garcia were like they were facing off,

461
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 3: you know, like whatever, and then they both were looking

462
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 3: over like what the fuck is going on?

463
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 2: Here's what makes Tank great is because at the time

464
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 2: of the stot of the pausing, Garcia was starting to

465
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: get lit up with some big left crosses from Tank

466
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 2: at that point, so he wondered and I think Abner

467
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 2: mar sat in the brocas with that. That break allowed

468
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: Garcia to get his legs back under him. They both

469
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 2: came out there. They both traded big punches at close range.

470
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 2: But again Tank the bigger puncher, and when he's able

471
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 2: to land that efficiently, he wobbles Garcia to close the round.

472
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 2: Round eight, by the way, I don't know and cares

473
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 2: what they're calling this a ninth round tkoh.

474
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 3: Second, they called him to start the round to get

475
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 3: off the stool. He basically didn't, and then, of course

476
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 3: enough time for the referee to be like, get up,

477
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 3: get up, get up, and then he waves it it

478
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 3: was thirteen seconds in the round nine.

479
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: I mean, look, it's just you know, Tank was favored,

480
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 2: we thought, and we pretty much knew the power would

481
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: be the difference. But you've got to give Garcia a

482
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 2: ton of credit for the guts he showed, for the

483
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 2: craft he showed to be able to match Tank. I mean,

484
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 2: Tank was never really able to maybe until that eighth

485
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 2: round walk him down at will just really starting to

486
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: rise where where you know, there was two other moments

487
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: where the crowd started to rise, where the two way

488
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: action was good and people started to wonder, is Tank

489
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: you know, a couple of punches away from doing it.

490
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 2: But considering that Garcia was the smaller fighter wait wise,

491
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 2: moving up from one point thirty where he has a

492
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: title belt, he took some big shots and he was

493
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: able to stand in there god and really fight at

494
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: a credible competitive level. The whole time scorecards, the time

495
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 2: of the stopper. Did you read those seventy eight seventy three,

496
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: seventy eight seventy three, and seventy eight seventy four in

497
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 2: Davis's direction, I don't think you're going to complain there,

498
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 2: but it did feel like it was it was close.

499
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 2: It did feel like it was close.

500
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 3: It did, although two of the judges were from Maryland

501
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 3: in Virginia.

502
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: So keep that. Yeah, your commission's gonna have to, you know,

503
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: get it together. They're gonna be there. There was no

504
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: one Texas in Vegas.

505
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 3: There was no one from DC here. But they're not

506
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 3: a great commissioners Strow either. But I was gonna say this, dude,

507
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 3: I thought Hector Garcia was fucking whole. It was just

508
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 3: his comments to Felix, to Hayeshu's here's what he said.

509
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 3: His eye socket didn't get broken. That's not why he

510
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 3: couldn't see. He said he got hit in the head

511
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 3: so hard he forgot where he was and he was

512
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: temporarily blinded when they That's that's when Jim Gray I

513
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 3: was saying. When Jim Gray interviewed him, he was like,

514
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: I can see now, I have my eyesight back. And

515
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 3: I said it to the guys, dude, I'm not doing

516
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 3: a bit. That's like getting hit in the head with

517
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 3: a fucking hammer.

518
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 2: The only other time I can remember anything like that

519
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 2: in boxing was the second Mickey Ward Arturo Gatti fight,

520
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 2: which is the stinker of the three. Went ten rounds,

521
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: like the first and third did, but it has one

522
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 2: great round round three, and in that one, I don't

523
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: know if people remember, Mickey Word got dropped on his

524
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 2: way into the corner, kind of like when Ricky Hatton

525
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 2: got finished by Floyd Mayweather and that knockdown that led

526
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 2: up to the stoppage. And this is what maybe Mickey

527
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: Word claimed after the fight, that he was hit so

528
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 2: hard and when he hit his face first into the corner,

529
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: he couldn't see. So he got up unable to see

530
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 2: and was trying to fight Gotti from distance. Got he

531
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 2: uncorked and absolutely rocked him, and he says the punch

532
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 2: woke him back up and gave him the eyesight and

533
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: then he actually was the fighter coming on to close

534
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 2: that round. I mean, this guy, you know, that's that's

535
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 2: I've never seen anything like that, I guess until tonight.

536
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 2: That shows the power of tank. But I mean it's

537
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: the precision, so is timing. You know, we said this

538
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 2: is an interesting sort of tune up.

539
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: That's not a tune up. It's a tough fight.

540
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: And look, director Garcia passed the test from the idea

541
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 2: of showing you that like this is not a tune up.

542
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: He deserved to be here. He's tough, his nails and skill.

543
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 3: He's not a world class fighter in the way that

544
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 3: Tank is. He is not a bullshit fighter at all.

545
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 3: Oh not at all.

546
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 2: And in his weight class where he's still a title holder,

547
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 2: let's give him a chance to go back down there

548
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: and some big things. But he showed me a lot,

549
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: so we said this could be the right test for

550
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: Ryan Garcia fight in certain ways. And look, that height

551
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 2: in reach difference seemed to be a legitimate difference for

552
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: Hector Luis Garcia. Ryan Garcia, on the on the contrary,

553
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 2: is going to employ a much larger reach and height advantage.

554
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 2: So to some degree that's kind of some of the

555
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 2: challenges that Tank will be up against. But Hector Garcia

556
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 2: much more of a technician than Ryan Garcia. But Ryan

557
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 2: Garcia much more dangerous with the combination of that length,

558
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 2: that speed, the power that comes from that speed, and

559
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 2: I think, more importantly, the intention Hector Garcia had big

560
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 2: intention tonight to stand in there and be willing to

561
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 2: trade with thank and know that's the only way he's

562
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: gonna win. Ryan Garcia has a different kind of content,

563
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: a different kind of intention, a little bit more reckless

564
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 2: a little bit more, come right in there and let

565
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 2: it go. That fight is going to be a tense,

566
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 2: dangerous against of course you, very dangerous. So where this

567
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 2: fight for a lot of it didn't have that same

568
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 2: let's say, like something's about to happen. Feel that Roally

569
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 2: Romero versus versus Germonte has Gravante versus Ryan Garcia is

570
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 2: like the epitome of that. So you're gonna you know,

571
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 2: and the crowd, it's gonna draw the different fan base.

572
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 2: I mean like it's a big super fight to see

573
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 2: Gervonte take care of business this way given all the

574
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: negative headlines, which which he caused for the most part

575
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 2: with his outside the ring trouble, although there were certain

576
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 2: circumstances this time around U but another trial coming up

577
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 2: for Davonte in February. But his ability to just sort

578
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 2: of put that to the side handle the business at hand,

579
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: it's it's it's why he gets to call himself among

580
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: the pomp for Palm Best.

581
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: And when you talk about star wise, you saw your

582
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: city show up for him.

583
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 2: They care about where does Gervonte Davis in your eyes

584
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 2: right now? Because when we're talking about global stars in boxing,

585
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 2: you go you go Canelo, you go Anthony Joshua, right, yeah,

586
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,479
Speaker 2: and then you got and then what Tyson Fury. I mean,

587
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 2: that's really what we're looking at on the men's side

588
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 2: about Gervonte Davis is is different.

589
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: From them, but now he's not quite there. Not.

590
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 2: But so the standpoint of going to any city in

591
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 2: selling out the arena, you're not seeing a lot of

592
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 2: boxers doing that.

593
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 3: Yes, but has he I mean, because look, he's got

594
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 3: a troubled situation, right, no question about it. So he's

595
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: not a national hero the way that Canelo is. I

596
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: think that's fair.

597
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: That's fair. Canels has a statue.

598
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,479
Speaker 3: I mean, I think, I think I think obviously, uh,

599
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 3: in this community in Washington, d c. And in the

600
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 3: Baltimore area, Tank Davis is obviously well received. And you know,

601
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 3: obviously he pulls heavily with African American crowds with I

602
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 3: would say his crowds are also you don't knowice about

603
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 3: tanks crowds. Is skew a little a little younger than

604
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 3: the average boxing crowd or no, Yes, I would say that, yeah,

605
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 3: a little bit younger than.

606
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: The average boxing crowd. So there's that, But I don't

607
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: know that he's brought in.

608
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 2: You know, hey, dude, the average boxing crowd is old

609
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 2: and shit. Just be honest with the people.

610
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah it's it's old.

611
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: Okay, but but Tank has a un Let's give Ryan

612
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 2: garcieacrets why this fight is going to be so big

613
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: and special. They both have fan bases that are unique

614
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 2: because they're not fully fueled by boxing for you know,

615
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: especially Ryan Garcia. But they also to attract very young crowds,

616
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: which is great for the sport to young ambassadors in

617
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 2: their own way.

618
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: Tristan who was the rapper who walked him out? Do

619
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: you know?

620
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: Do you is?

00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 2: You know?

623
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: Wow? You're y'all are as washed as we are. Carly

624
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: is more known for her ability to cross snacks.

625
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 2: I have a rider that usually says fruit snacks and

626
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: look at if you're gonna get twelve donuts, how many

627
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: of them.

628
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: Should be boughting creams? Well, in that studio there's a

629
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: lot of four. Okay, that's a lot.

630
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 2: I mean it's the best donut, like not by like

631
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 2: a little.

632
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: It's like like.

633
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: Seed as well, but it's like thin Min's in the

634
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: girl scout trade. Hey, let's talk about round eight. One

635
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: of the fucking craziest things I've ever seen. Meek Mill, truly,

636
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 2: the fucking rapper from Philly.

637
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: You just talk about it.

638
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 3: I know in Shyglizzie, the DC rapper, Shy g Lizzie,

639
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 3: Oh my god, so Decail, Okay, some Shy Glizzy, who,

640
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: by the way, is kind of associated with Fat Trail.

641
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: They're all connected. These are just names to me? Is

642
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: that because they're black?

643
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 2: Is Steely danned? Where they where they have a fight

644
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 2: in the crowd tonight or well?

645
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: So I guess.

646
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 3: I guess Shy Glizzie, who's a is like a local

647
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 3: DC guy. He got into a beef with Meek Mill.

648
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 3: They fucking stopped the whole round.

649
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 2: Dude, steven Us Bonosa was right in the midst.

650
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 3: Of it, and then we thought for a second Stack

651
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 3: was in their shouts at Stack by the way, who,

652
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 3: by the I gotta say this about Loyal talking about fight.

653
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 3: Wee here a little bit. Let me say something b C.

654
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 3: And I you know, we get a chance to work

655
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 3: with celebrities a fair amount, right, And uh, you're talking

656
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 3: about Paul Piers. Paul was great to us too. Paul's

657
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 3: great to us too. But I'll say this of everyone

658
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 3: we've ever worked with. Tell me if I'm exaggerating here.

659
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 3: Stack Stack is a genuinely he is. He's you know,

660
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 3: way too cool. Not just for us, he's way too

661
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 3: cool to us, Like he makes us feel way cooler

662
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 3: than we are.

663
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 2: Instant family, like instantly, you know, like like like if

664
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: I needed, if if I need, he did ten thousand

665
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 2: dollars right now, with no questions asked.

666
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: He probably would make you sign something. I'd give the

667
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: guy a liver, not my beliver, your liver. It's not

668
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: worth till dollars I actually trade. Maybe I'd trade my

669
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: kidney for his liver.

670
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 2: If we ever needed to do that, you could do that,

671
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: like you know, black market organ dealing to try to

672
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 2: keep each other left due.

673
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 3: We were talking about this as well before you got here.

674
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 3: You're asking what you missed? Uh, I know, I'm just

675
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 3: not selling it.

676
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 2: You remember that time that guy was in on the

677
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: floor right over here, and.

678
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 3: You're like, uh, we were talking about all the so

679
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 3: like the euphemistic ways to ask Gervante about going to jail,

680
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 3: and one of them is like, how are you juggling distractions?

681
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: You know?

682
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 3: But I'll say this, this is truthful. Between the rounds,

683
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 3: He's looking around, he's asking for people. Calvin Ford is

684
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 3: not talking boxing to him, He's like, hey, how you doing,

685
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 3: do you need some wal It.

686
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 2: Was interesting, now, it was the most he was the

687
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 2: most distracted guy I've ever seen.

688
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: It seems it didn't matter.

689
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 2: There were two consecutive rounds. After round four, it seemed like,

690
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 2: you know, Calvin was like, what are you looking at that?

691
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 2: Like his tank would just looking at something or looking

692
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 2: for somebody in the crowd. Round five it was Calvin

693
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 2: who didn't know what a round it was and.

694
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: They were looking.

695
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 2: But that's a normal It was after round six, Okay,

696
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 2: that is somewhat normal where a cornerball.

697
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, it did.

698
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 2: But you know, this week, with a lot of pressure

699
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 2: on Jervonte should there's you know, I think he handled

700
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 2: it well overall, but there were a couple of times

701
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 2: where we weren't sure of his response or his behavior.

702
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 2: I mean on stage yet to close Thursday's press conference

703
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 2: when he kind of pushed Hector Garcia.

704
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: And like it just I was unsure about where he

705
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: was going.

706
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 2: But I think something I said was true, Like the

707
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 2: second he walked out into this arena and felt that love.

708
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 2: It was like, OK, it's time to go. Now, I'm happy,

709
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 2: let's do it. Let's let it go. But I mean,

710
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 2: the very few people can pull off the style that

711
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 2: Jervonte does and be that efficient with those type of numbers,

712
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 2: to carry that power and be that dangerous. I mean

713
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: he also boxed it well in pockets when he needed to.

714
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 2: He's never known for big jab numbers, but there were

715
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 2: times they really used his jab. The body punches were

716
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: very nice. I thought Hector Garcia went to the body well.

717
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 3: Is also I would say this, It looked the only

718
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,479
Speaker 3: time you could really tell they were from different weight classes.

719
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 3: I mean, tank, I guess if he was really disciplined,

720
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 3: he could make one thirty. I do believe that he

721
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,239
Speaker 3: was really disciplant. No, he didn't, Dude, he could lean up.

722
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 3: I mean you could.

723
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: It's okay, but whatever easy for you to say, Biggins,

724
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, we're talking about five pounds.

725
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 3: He could do it right. But I noticed that he

726
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 3: had no problem taking Garcia's punches. Oh, no, no problem,

727
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 3: no problem.

728
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: Like garcia punches were pinpoint, they were sharp, but they

729
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 2: didn't seem to.

730
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 3: Be moving, and they mattered through the first three, and

731
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 3: then after that it kind of slowly fell apart.

732
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 2: Like they mattered as much. I think Tank was taking

733
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 2: his time because he was smart.

734
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 3: He was kind of like McGregor Mayweather, like column a College.

735
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, you're gonna compare that directly Apple Step,

736
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 2: merely saying.

737
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 3: That, yes, Tank might not have been having his foot

738
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 3: all the way down on the gas and so that

739
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 3: gave Garcia's technique room to breathe.

740
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: But he did what he was.

741
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 3: Supposed to and he won maybe a couple. I think

742
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 3: he won a couple of those on the judges.

743
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 2: We got roasted really good on Instagram, you and I

744
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 2: for what we're dressed. And today they're like, you know,

745
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: Luke looks great. He also looked like he's about to

746
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 2: give me my key card at the hotel to go check.

747
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 2: It was yes, yes, and then they were like, oh,

748
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 2: BC looks like he spent six hundred dollars above the

749
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 2: wasted about sixty below it.

750
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: I was like, well, yeah, it's.

751
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 3: Kind of you know, I want to I want to

752
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 3: thank the staff BC for getting us binoculars so we

753
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 3: could watch the fight from the fucking condor's nest. They

754
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 3: put us in I mean, I need, I need, I

755
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 3: need an oxygen. Take from the state of elevation that

756
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 3: we're in. I mean literally, I've been in this venue

757
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 3: one hundred times. This is the highest I've been and

758
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 3: I'm sober. Oh. They were like, they were like, we

759
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 3: don't make an elevator for the floor you're going to.

760
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 3: You just got to slip up there like a piece

761
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 3: of shit.

762
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: They're like, all right, what are your.

763
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: What are your expectations on a line? Now now that

764
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 2: we can look, look just a little bit there for

765
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 2: Garcia part two, because speak was a plus or minus

766
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 2: sixteen hundred, he was a substantial but that's kind of

767
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 2: what you do in boxing, and okay, but now we

768
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 2: got a guy with speed, power, size, who you know.

769
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 2: I mean, look, it's in play that either guy can

770
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 2: win by knockout. That's in play.

771
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 3: I don't know exactly what the numbers are going to be,

772
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 3: because it's hard for me to know what boxing lines.

773
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit better with MMA lines.

774
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 3: But I would say they're going to make Tank a

775
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 3: modest favorite, a modest minus three fifty something like that,

776
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 3: something like that. I think it's about or at least

777
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 3: I should say one more time. I think that's where

778
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 3: the line will open. What will happen after that? Who's

779
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 3: to say, Hey, let's talk a little bit about drawn ennis.

780
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 3: Because I said this before when you were coming in. Listen,

781
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 3: three different judges gave him every single round. The guy

782
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 3: pitched a shout out wednesdayanimous decision, no problem. But my

783
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 3: friends who I had talked up to drawn ennis two.

784
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:48,919
Speaker 1: So that's where it was. The ring came back. Yeah,

785
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: like this guy's the most impressive ground and it's like,

786
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: it's weird.

787
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 2: He kind of needs a night like this to be fair,

788
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,959
Speaker 2: a night where you know, look, he'd never been past

789
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 2: six rounds entering this fight, you'd never been passed us.

790
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 2: He had a guy take him to the four round distance,

791
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 2: and somebody take him to the six round distance.

792
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 1: The names are not household names.

793
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 2: So to go twelve in a fight in which he's

794
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 2: still won twelve to nothing on all three score cards

795
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 2: and never stop trying. There was never a situation. There

796
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 2: was a frustration level. I thought Boots acquired in round eight,

797
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 2: specifically where he actually spun himself around. One time he

798
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 2: had trouble catching up with Chukegian's movement or Chuckens in

799
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 2: chukas On, Chuck as On and Chuck as On. There

800
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 2: were pockets in which he started to actually try and

801
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: let his hands go and and he would hit. It

802
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 2: was one of those ultimate disappointments if you were like,

803
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 2: buy the pay per view just for Boots, or buy

804
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 2: a ticket to the arena just for Boots. This wasn't

805
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 2: the night where that cashed in. This wasn't the night

806
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 2: where we go out of here going man, should supnch

807
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 2: just skip Crawford and go right to Boo. I mean,

808
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 2: like we were kind of talking about that Friday, like

809
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 2: wonder on that is that in play? I don't think

810
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 2: you have to pump the brakes on what tell me

811
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong on what Boots didn't do. I think

812
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 2: he had an opponent who was tough, had good evasive

813
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 2: skills in terms of footwork, very good, and even in

814
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 2: terms of his offense Chuka jin Chuka John there was

815
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 2: some craft to it when he wanted to show to

816
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 2: it he was he was big and strong for the

817
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 2: weight class. I don't know, man, I mean I think

818
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 2: this was this In the long run, you need this.

819
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 2: Would you rather have him go through this before fighting

820
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 2: a spence?

821
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? Thurman or Us or Prawford. Yes, you would.

822
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 3: So some guys are hard to look good against by

823
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 3: virtue of who they are and then also by the

824
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 3: style that they employ.

825
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: Chuka Zan was hard to look good against.

826
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 3: Tonight exactly if Boots struggled to look good, Tell me

827
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 3: who would look good? I mean, I mean, yes, kay,

828
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 3: you could say Spence or Crawford, but that means that

829
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 3: way that would literally be it. Like I could not

830
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 3: imagine Keith Thurman, you know, finding him and nailing him

831
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 3: down and looking good in the process.

832
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 1: It's very difficult. Like I said, there were moments of frustration.

833
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 2: There wasn't though, you know, moments where he's given the

834
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 2: fight away, moments where he was rocked and hurt very badly. No,

835
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 2: all in all, I mean he do you see the

836
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 2: shape he came in He had new nutrition so that

837
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 2: they were talking about.

838
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 4: He stood between every round he was as they say, Yeah,

839
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 4: I mean that those back muscles had like different like

840
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 4: caverns that you could fly like's not.

841
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: Going to bang you, bro.

842
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 3: And some people say in the comments whenever you're like

843
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 3: say similarly, nights about anyone.

844
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: I has backsilla, Yes, he's he's also yoked.

845
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 2: So so look for for boots. It wasn't spectacular in

846
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 2: the crowd boot him and he's got to deal with that.

847
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 2: They boot him, but he didn't.

848
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 3: It wasn't And to your point I mentioned, I give

849
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 3: you credit, he didn't have a great call out either.

850
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 2: No, no, but I don't think you can after that

851
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 2: performance when the crowd's booing and people are going, oh,

852
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 2: you're supposed to blow this guy away. I mean, even

853
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 2: Steve Haarwood before the fight in the broadcast was like,

854
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 2: this may not go you know, two rounds, this may

855
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 2: not even go one.

856
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: We'll see.

857
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 2: We had that feeling. Let's give I mean, would you

858
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 2: want to give chukazi in chu chukas On chewkas on

859
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 2: h credit for going the distance or should he stopped

860
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 2: trying to win at points and that's why it went.

861
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 3: He definitely wasn't trying to win, but he was trying

862
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 3: to secure a moral victory and he did.

863
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: He did.

864
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 3: He went the full distance. He's the first guy to

865
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 3: take him the full like the full twelve round distance.

866
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 3: And he was able to land some shots on occasion

867
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 3: to to to keep a guy like that off balance

868
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 3: at times, certainly to frustrate him.

869
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: But he couldn't do it enough to win again. He

870
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: did not win.

871
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 3: Chuo Kazan did not win a single round on a

872
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 3: single judge's scorecards. It was one twenty to one o

873
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 3: eight all the way through. So it's just I mean,

874
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 3: like just think about it. That's as good as like

875
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 3: you're going to look in a situation where an opponent

876
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 3: is that frustrating, right.

877
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 2: And all of our favorite fighters have had a night

878
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 2: like that. It sounds very well. You're making a long excuses.

879
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 2: He looked great outside of that. I mean, he tried,

880
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 2: he tried anything to get inside on this guy. It

881
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 2: didn't work out. All right. There's a lot of frame

882
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 2: to Vegekan pictures in that hallway, by the way, like

883
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 2: the whole hallway.

884
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 1: He's a god in this building.

885
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 3: Uh.

886
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 2: We said the fighter that I could be Rayman Villa

887
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 2: versus s Peedy, And it actually was, but not in

888
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 2: the way we expected it. But from that incredible rally

889
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,919
Speaker 2: from roy Mont Villa, who the first by the way, Yeah,

890
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 2: but for the you know, for the first five rounds

891
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 2: in which all three judges gave the first five rounds

892
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 2: to l Us it not only looked like it was

893
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 2: going to be a long night for Via. He didn't

894
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 2: look on the same level.

895
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: Now we knew there was going to be a speed difference.

896
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 2: We knew there was going to be a technique difference

897
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 2: because Via is this Venezuelan and Ponto is gonna walk

898
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 2: you down and just keep coming.

899
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: But you got to give Via so much credit.

900
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 2: Who winds up getting the majority decision win, ends up

901
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 2: rallying in the final round to drop speedy Rashidi twice

902
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 2: and then gets the decision. Where you when you heard

903
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 2: it was majority, which means one scorecard was a draw ye,

904
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 2: the other two for one fight, you.

905
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: Knew it was for Rashidiel. You just knew it.

906
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 2: You were like, Wow, he givet Let's give Via the

907
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 2: credit for never giving up. Rashidi got a little bit tired,

908
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 2: but hey man, you didn't get it done.

909
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: No, he got it done. The judges gave it to him.

910
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 2: What a win for a guy who just made his

911
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 2: US debut in September, which was also his showbox debut,

912
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 2: and he got a big win.

913
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: H in the first loss to an unbeaten prospect.

914
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 2: Then he looks terrible five rounds but figures it out

915
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 2: and has like this Madonna Junior type finish man, I mean.

916
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: Du thou.

917
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 3: It was a ten round fight, Ellis wins. It's an

918
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 3: eight round fight. Ellis wins six four, he wins all

919
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 3: of them. In the twelve round he's you know who,

920
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 3: Vida reminds me of our MMA fans. I mean, this

921
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 3: is a list is a strange comparison, but in the

922
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 3: sense of the dynamic works a little bit the same.

923
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 3: He's a little bit of cheeto Vera right where it's

924
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,439
Speaker 3: like king of the five rounders for MMA, cheeto Vera,

925
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 3: Villa is the king of the twelve rounders.

926
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 1: He needs the full twelve and agreed with you, I've

927
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: never seen that happen.

928
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm just saying he needed the full. If

929
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 3: it was you cut short two rounds, it's a different fight.

930
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: Yeah.

931
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 3: But the fact that once once Ellis couldn't rely on

932
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 3: his slickness enough when they when the athleticism went from

933
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 3: a ten to an eight to a seven, Villa was

934
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 3: still there. He was still in his face, he still

935
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 3: had something for him. His game didn't drop off. But

936
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 3: that's the difference.

937
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 2: Both fighters talked about a rematch immedia for after fine,

938
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 2: you have to feel like speedy Rashidi can.

939
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: Yeah he should cankish win.

940
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 2: Get on the exercise bike a little bit longer than

941
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 2: he did this camp. He did come in great shape.

942
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: I mean he looked fantastic for you knowing he.

943
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: Thought in a very exhausting way.

944
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 2: Yes, I wonder if that rematch is different, maybe Via

945
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 2: can add something different. But hey, what a breakout victory though.

946
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 2: I mean the crowd pop for him when in the

947
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 2: decision and nearly stopping was great.

948
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: Demand.

949
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 2: Nicholson took on Demitrius, Andra Andraid and the opener Boobo

950
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 2: Android and his debut at sixty eight, his debut at PBC.

951
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 2: All in all, good night for Booboo. I didn't love

952
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 2: the post fight interview. He didn't have some big call out.

953
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 2: He wants to fight everybody, anybody who was a name.

954
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 2: But the skill gap was wide. It looked like he

955
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 2: was on his way stopping Nicholson. To Nicholson's credit, he

956
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 2: was able to hang around.

957
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: Yep. But I don't do you do you take anything negative?

958
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 2: I mean people, not everybody loves on Android, but he

959
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 2: showed me he's world class time.

960
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 3: I just feel like everyone every time, Okay, not everyone,

961
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 3: because some people have given up on him frankly, but

962
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 3: I think that a lot of boxing fans are just

963
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 3: waiting for, like, Okay, tonight's going to be that night

964
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 3: where finally he'll have a big night, Finally he'll come together, Finally.

965
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 2: I didn't try though he was offensive his cras I

966
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 2: think he did.

967
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 3: I think you watched the performance if you just didn't

968
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 3: know him and you were just judging him as a boxer,

969
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 3: he performed quite well. I mean he was at certain

970
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 3: times definitely pressing the action. I just feel like the

971
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 3: problem is he can't go into a fight right now

972
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 3: without all the baggage that he's been carrying around him,

973
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 3: defining how everyone sees every little piece of it, fair

974
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 3: or the wise.

975
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 2: And he also said afterwards at the weight difference was

976
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 2: a difference. So you wonder when he starts facing the

977
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 2: big punchers at sixty eight, does he have to go

978
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 2: back to fighting from distance and just being slick. I mean,

979
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 2: he was offensive here against Nicholson, who was durable. Nicholson

980
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 2: did land some big right hands at some weird times

981
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 2: where you thought he might have been back in the fight,

982
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 2: but overall, and Andreid, who's coming off a thirteen months layoff,

983
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 2: shoulder surgery. I thought he looked good. I think David

984
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 2: Merrell Junior is the matchup for andre Do you like

985
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 2: that one? I do like that one a lot, I

986
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,959
Speaker 2: really do, because morel is I'm his last couple of fights.

987
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: Man.

988
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 2: He has grown and evolved under Ronnie Shields to be

989
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 2: able to be, you know, a good boxer, a power

990
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 2: puncher who's learning how to put it together. But how

991
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 2: about all that defensive head movement he showed. That's like

992
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 2: sort of slickness and craziness. I want to see him

993
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 2: have to have to beat a technician, a long athletic technician,

994
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 2: like somebody like Andreid.

995
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a very good.

996
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 3: I guess I would say it's a decent showing on

997
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 3: one sixty eight, for sure. But like the power punching

998
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 3: of Charlote one sixty eight, don't see him move up first,

999
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 3: thal you gotta move up in established.

1000
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: You're talking about it too. But he, I don't know.

1001
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 2: He seems to be like a more bigger punch. I

1002
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 2: love this division. Benevide's plant coming up in a couple

1003
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 2: of months. Yep, Canelo's got a big decision to make.

1004
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: He sure does. He's probably gonna fight bibbl again. Don't

1005
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: do that, Big Red, don't do that. Don't do that.

1006
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 1: My man's got you. It's okay. We covered this, you know,

1007
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: wire to wire, wall to wall, rubber, rubber, and you're

1008
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: in your city this week. Look we did That's it all.

00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,160

00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 2: Was a successful week for the brand. Now a lot

1011
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 2: of that came from the Dane White coverage.

1012
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: We're probably banned from the UFC going forward. I mean,

1013
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: let's just be real about that. But you know who

1014
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: knows that's gross. That'll make those calls Josh gross level.

1015
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: Do you wanna do you wanna call it a day?

Speaker 1: This is fast? Whatever?

1021
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 2: So you keep your watch, which you can change with

1022
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,480

1023
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: To it and the changes of this way. I can

1024
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: not talk to this. You keep your watch an hour ahead.

1025
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 3: I don't keep it that way. It's just my normal watch.

1026
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 3: The battery died, so this is my backup watch.

1027
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: Dude.

Speaker 2: In my mind, I'm like muscular and handsome.

1029
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: But the proof in this in this TV screen.

00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, I look like a substitute teacher.

1031

Speaker 2: I you know, I have a forty four year old body.

1036
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 2: Well you can argue it's older, right, based on the

00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 2: liver damage. But Luke, my mind is you know, I'm
