Speaker 1: round TKO against kel Brook. It was a slow start,

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: So here here's what it was. Look I got canil

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: overiss my pomp for pound King, I got Naoa a

22
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: new a at number two. I got Terrence Bud Crawford

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: at three. But this was another performance here on Saturday

24
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: night against kel Brooke that you know, you got him

25
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 1: at number one. What else are you going to say?

26
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: That's a nasty, dominant performance. And if you're not a

27
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: regular day to day boxing guy and you're like, oh,

28
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: well Brooke didn't show up, that's not the That's not

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: really what happened here. Kell Brook is a former champion.

30
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: He's got, you know, on paper, as good as skills

31
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: as anyone to give Terrence Crawford a challenge. I know

32
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: he's thirty four. I know there were questions of could

33
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: he make weight moving back down to welterweight and still

34
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: be fresh. He looked like a million bucks on the

35
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: scale on Friday. I mean, he went for it. You

36
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: could tell whatever was left of thirty four year old

37
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: Kel Brooke we were going to get it once you

38
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: saw him on that on that scale. And let's give

39
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: kel credit. It's not the same guy who beat Sean

40
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: Porter in twenty fourteen. Yes, he's had orbital bones broken

41
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: twice and maybe in the end. That played a big

42
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: role in his punch resistance. It's hard to tell, but

43
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: he looked good early on. He had a good game plan.

44
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: He was the sharpkel Brook we know, a great job

45
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: to win the opening rounds, sharp counter shots, great size,

46
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: even though of course Terrence Crawford is a very long reach.

47
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: But the moment Terrence Crawford makes that patented early to

48
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: midfight adjustment very Floyd Mayweather like in that regard, where

49
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: you take the first couple rounds off, you make it

50
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: a battle of the footwork, you make it a chess match,

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: but you don't throw much. You take a snapshot of

52
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: what your opponent is doing, and when you make that adjustment,

53
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: and for Crawford it's typically southpaw, the fight either ends

54
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: or he takes it over. And in this case, it

55
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: wasn't too long before the fight did end. Crawford's freaking amazing.

56
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: And I don't want to just brush this off. As

57
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, old guy Brook at thirty four came in

58
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: and got demolished the first big time power shot he eight.

59
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: That just seemed to be the way it went in

60
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: the end because cra for tease going south ball a

61
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: couple of times early committed in round three. It was

62
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: still fairly even about round but Crawford was eliminating the

63
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: jab and disarming you know what made brook successful in

64
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: the early going, and started to become the aggressor and

65
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: get off first and land the bigger shots. But in

66
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: the fourth round everything changed. That right hand counter shot

67
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: from the south paus dance from Crawford, a little bit

68
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: of a half jab, half book. Brooke walked right into

69
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: it as he was coming forward to throw, and he

70
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: got He got hit with a shot at the enc coming.

71
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: He got fed up, he backed up to the ropes,

72
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: called another left hand, never hit, never went down. The

73
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: referee Tony Weeks rightfully sort of gave him a standy

74
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: a count because the ropes held him up, gave him

75
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: a knockdown. And as soon as that fight was restarted,

76
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: Crawford comes in three punch combo right hand followed by

77
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: two lefts. Brooks. Brooks hurt, he's been over. Weeks does

78
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: the right thing to save him, and there you have it.

79
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: Just like that. It was like, Wow, we may have

80
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: a chess matcher. We may have a decent fight too.

81
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: The fight's over, Terrence Crawff. It really is that good. Now,

82
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: you know, you're always gonna have haters and critics, and

83
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: I get really frustrated that Bud's thirty three now, and

84
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: you know, he thought everybody he could at one forty

85
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: and he became the undisputed champion. And it's not like

86
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: he hasn't looked tremendous against the Jeff Hawns and the

87
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: uh you know, overmatched to washed up amir cons and

88
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: all that. And even after getting surprised last fight against

89
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: Mean Machine and getting dropped, he just out brawls the brawler.

90
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: He's absolutely spectacular. Terrence Crawford. When Bob Aaron comes on

91
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: the screen and does the Bob Aaron thing and says,

92
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, I haven't seen a spirit like this, and

93
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: sugar at Leonard and Tommy hearns a lot of times

94
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: when the Bob Father says that you know you can

95
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: you could get okay, it's promoter speaking when he says

96
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: it about Terrence Crawford. It's really hard to question that

97
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: because what we are seeing is something spectacular, and no

98
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: we're not seeing it against the a in A plus

99
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: level guys, the guys who want to see him against

100
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: on the PBC side of the street, we're talking about

101
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: Erol Spence, Sean Porter, Danny Garcia, Manny Pacquiao. We're not

102
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: seeing him against those. I'm hoping this is the last

103
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: time we have to go through this. And I liked

104
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: seeing the report that did come out late in the

105
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: week from Mike Coppinger of The Athletic where Bud's not happy.

106
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: Now we had him on this show a short interview

107
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: late this week and I asked him straight up, you

108
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: know how many more times are we going to go

109
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: through this where you don't turn to Bob Arem your

110
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: promoter at top rank and say the hell's going on here?

111
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: Like are we gonna make these fights happen? Are we

112
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: gonna go to network pay per views and get you

113
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: in there against Spence? What are we doing? And he,

114
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: you know, to his credit, Crawford did say I've been

115
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: doing that. And now the report coming off from Coppinger

116
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: is that Crawford had a Pacquiao fight. I'm supposed to

117
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: be for this month. The money was there, They're going

118
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: to do it in the Middle East. Everyone was gonna

119
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: be happy. He was going to finally get that big fight.

120
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: It would have been a unification at welterweight, it would

121
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: have been the kind of you know, big test. I mean,

122
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: Pa was gonna be forty one. But you know, watch

123
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: the Thermin fight last summer. He still got it and

124
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: the fight didn't happen because of COVID. So to see

125
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: in that story that Bud's very frustrated, that's a good sign.

126
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: You don't want him saying the kind of comments he'd

127
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: said a year ago, where you know, if I don't

128
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: fight these guys and I retire, it's not gonna be

129
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: a problem for me. I made a lot of money.

130
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: I know how great I am. Boxing doesn't work like that.

131
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: You got to make it happen. Credit to him showing

132
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: you after this win that he really does want to

133
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: make it happen when they when Bernardo was Soon of

134
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: ESPN asked Crawford, how do you make the Spence fight.

135
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: He turned right to Bob Aaron, and you know Aaron

136
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: was gonna be there in that interview and be close

137
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: and gonna take control of the narrative, and Aaron tried.

138
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: He basically called out Spence, said he doesn't want to fight.

139
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: Crawford said, instead of fighting Danny Garcia on December fifth,

140
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: we'll fight both in the same night, we'll win. Blah

141
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: blah blah. At least I like that Bob is doing

142
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: the whole they're scared thing to put the pressure back

143
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: on them. I don't want him to take that angle right,

144
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: And if you're not new to boxing, this is the

145
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: public negotiation kind of boxing bullshit we have to go through.

146
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: But at least he's putting the pressure back on them

147
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: at the very least. Okay, I want to see that fight,

148
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: but then to see Crawford say it, come right in

149
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: that interview and say no, no, I want Pacyo next.

150
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: Make it. We should have seen that fight three four

151
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: years ago, back when Pacquiao was promoted by Bob aerm

152
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: even two years ago and was fighting on ESPN. There

153
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: wasn't enough money at the time, but Crawford wasn't a

154
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: big enough superstar, and with Pakio at this point, it's

155
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: money that he wants. He's not friend anybody. I mean,

156
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: he went in there against Keith Thurman, unbeaten champion, and

157
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: knocked him down and and won a great fight against him.

158
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: Whether it's the winner of Spence Garcia or it's many Pakiao.

159
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: You've got to do that next. If your top rank

160
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: in espn at all costs, at all costs that you have,

161
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: or you're gonna lose Terrence Crawford. Whether he chooses to

162
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: sit out or buy out his contract like Mayweather did

163
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: to Aaron back in the day, or whatever loophole, legal hole,

164
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: however he can do it, you're gonna lose him. So

165
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: you better you better get Pakiao and whether you have

166
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: to use money in the Middle East to do that, whatever,

167
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: you better get that. So I saw a little bit

168
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: more forcefulness from Bud afterwards, but uh, there's no more

169
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: time to waste. As soon as we can get people

170
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: back in Arenas, that's what's got to happen, because I

171
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: don't want to see Bud Crawford go the glove can

172
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: root and end up being thirty five, thirty six, thirty

173
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: seven years old before he gets those truly defining fights,

174
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: because what you're seeing here is something very special, and

175
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: you know you can argue back, and you probably will

176
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: in the comments that you thought Kel was washed and

177
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: there were no such thing as little chocolate brownies. But

178
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: I saw a guy who had what it takes to

179
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: go in there and test Bud to a certain degree.

180
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: This wasn't the best fight you could have made right now,

181
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: Kel was past his prime, but there was something there.

182
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: There was something left in that tank and whatever was

183
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: in there. But absolutely flip the tank upside down and

184
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: pissed all over it. And you're seeing a guy who

185
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: might be the best fighter in the world. I don't know.

186
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna find out when he finally faces

187
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: an A plus opponent. But let's make that happen or

188
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna have an unhappy guy. And rightfully so. Although

189
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: Bud did take on four point eight million of a

190
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: disclosed perse for a non pay per view bout here,

191
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: so uh, keep cashing those checks. Bud Crawford's still one

192
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: of the very best in the world. Uh, kell Brook

193
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: at thirty four, You know, I think he was able

194
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: to make one hundred and forty seven pounds here because

195
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: the money was big. He was guaranteed two million. It

196
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: was sort of one more opportunity to go back. Uh.

197
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he has to retire if he doesn't

198
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: want to. I mean, he's been wanting that American fight forever.

199
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: It's still big business in England if they can make it.

200
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: But I think you saw a guy with the broken

201
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: audible bones in separate fights back to back against Glovekin

202
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: when he moved up and there to be great and

203
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: against Spence a punch resistance wise, not going to be

204
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: the same guy anymore. So he's almost a stronger version

205
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: of americn in some ways right now, where an elite

206
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: guy who's gonna get in there, they're gonna, they're gonna

207
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: get to him, They're gonna finish the fight. Uh, you know,

208
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: you gotta be you gotta be really good, though, you

209
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: gotta be, you gotta be really good to do that.

210
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: But you know he's they'll beat guys. If he wants

211
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: to cash checks and linger, that's fine. But for Terrence Crawford,

212
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: we're done. We're done with the best buttons, We're done

213
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: with the mean machine. Caviliowskis. It's it's all killer, no

214
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: filler from here on out. We got to find out

215
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: how great this guy is not just by today's means.

216
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: And again it's a wee. It's a crazy era of

217
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: the past year in boxing where you've got four or five,

218
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: at one point six guys who had some kind of

219
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: claim possibly be to be POUMP for pound number one.

220
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: Oh sick. Right after that Cruiseway Tournament, but now not

221
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: so much. Wellmuchenko for a while, but now not so much.

222
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: But you know, Spence before the accident sort of brought

223
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, before the close fight with Porter that brought

224
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: it back down to earth to a degree, was right

225
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: in that discussion. But right now, whether you have Canelo,

226
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: whether you have Crawford, or whether you have a new

227
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: a number one pound for pound, you're right, You're you

228
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: know what I mean, You're probably right. So for me,

229
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: I happen to have Crawford three. But I'm telling you

230
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: again what I saw tonight, and I'll package it with

231
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: the other winds. You're watching a special guy, a generational guy,

232
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: and I'm going by the eye right now to say that.

233
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: But you know, here's to hoping that we definitely get

234
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: him still in his prime against all these names of

235
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: his era, and he can run the gauntlet. If you

236
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: can fight Paccio, fight the winner of Spence Garcia, Fight

237
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: who's ever left between Porter and Thurman, you know, fight

238
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: who's a fight them all, fight them all, because this

239
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: post Floyd and Manny welterweight era, and I know Manny's

240
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: still around and Floyd sometimes is still around. It did

241
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: have the making to be a special one. We've got

242
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: We've got all those names I mentioned five six of

243
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: them He's are really big names. He's a really good, enduring,

244
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: multi time champion, multi division champion fighters here and uh,

245
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: you know, gone to my head, Crawford, Spence. I have

246
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: to go Crawford right now. And I've been a Spence

247
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: guy in this discussion for a long time, but I

248
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: have to go Crawford right now. I think he is

249
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: the best of this era. Is he Sugar Ray Leonard

250
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: or Tommy Hearns. You know, I can't make that leap

251
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: Bob did. Some of it is trying to sell it.

252
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: Some of it is he's seen it, he's been there.

253
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: But I want to see the I want I want

254
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: to have the opportunity to see the proof that could

255
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: get me there that he's that he's that special. And

256
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: I'm one of the biggest critics against who he hasn't fought,

257
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: So for tonight, we're not going to focus so much

258
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: on who you haven't fought, and we're just going to

259
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: say what I saw there was absolutely brilliant. Bud Crawford

260
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: is all the things that ESPN hammers and kicks, the

261
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: dead horse to tell us that he is. But he is?

262
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: That is he all time? Though? Let's find that out, okay,

263
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: right now? He's the best welterweight in a deep welterweight division.

264
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: Is he all time? The proof will be in the

265
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: putt in, as the Great Floyd Mayweather said quickly, And

266
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: of course we're going to get into all this on

267
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: a deeper level on Morning Combat on Monday. Any of

268
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: you that caught the Cole main event here on this

269
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: top rank card right after the University of Florida football

270
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: game saw just an absolute crap travesty and that rematch

271
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: for that one hundred and fifteen pound title with Joshua

272
00:12:55,200 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: Franco taking on Andrew Maloney of Australia. Maloney appears to

273
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 1: get up by the replays, and it really only took

274
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: one replay to figure this out. Hit him with a

275
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: JAD that caused the right eye of Franco to close

276
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: because it was from the thumb of the glove, which

277
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: was still legal, but referee Russell Moore are ruling it

278
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: in accidental headbut early so when the ringside doctor rules

279
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: that Franco's and I can't continue in round three, we

280
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: hadn't go the four full rounds. It's either going to

281
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: be a no contest if it's an accidental head butt,

282
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: or hey, and Nevada, we have access to replay. The

283
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: only caveat is the if you go to replay, it

284
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: ends the fight. Well, the fight's already over. Ringside, doctor

285
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: says Franco can't see anymore, so they go to the replay.

286
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: They go to replay for twenty six minutes, and the

287
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: Nevada Commission shockingly, or maybe not so shockingly, because this

288
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: is boxing one eighteen one ten for Canelo. Adelaide Bird, right,

289
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: you know, c J Ross one fourteen one to fourteen

290
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: for Canalo. We've been down these roads before. Bob Bennett,

291
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: Robert Bird, the replay official, j N eighty, the extra referee,

292
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, the referee and acting replay official. There, they're

293
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: all watching the screen over and over again. All of

294
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: us are watching the same thing at home. Shot at

295
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: the ESPN's truck and technical team for picking this out

296
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: of the replay. It was a punch. It was a

297
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: freaking punch. Guys. How many more times you have to

298
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: watch that? You need Kennedy's brain to explode off on

299
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: a Dallas sidewalk is there a grassy oal there? What

300
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: are we doing here? And Nevada rules it an accidental

301
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: hud butut no contest. So I guess we're gonna get

302
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: a third fight between the two of them. Probably we're

303
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna get one anyway because of how weird that Maloney

304
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: knockout was. But again, that's fighting. You know, you jab

305
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: somebody with a clean shot and you catch them accidentally

306
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: with the thumb of the glove at the angle and

307
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna swell your eye and they're going to stop

308
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: the fight. But it should have been a knockout win

309
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: for Maloney. Do it avenge a decision loss from earlier

310
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: this year and what was a really good fight, and

311
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna see it again anyway. But boxing has a

312
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: hard time getting out of its own way with controversial endings,

313
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: bad scoring, ridiculousness, a lot of shady stuff. This time

314
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: they implement something that is meant to correct all of that,

315
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: and they still got it wrong, and they still took

316
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: twenty six minutes to do it. So you know, I'm

317
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: a day one ish boxing guy. I am boxing. I'm

318
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: always you know, Larry Merchant said it, boxing, you can't

319
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: fix it. You can't kill it. And that's true, all right,

320
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: but I deserve to be able to be the loudest

321
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: angry person in the room and be like, what are

322
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: we doing here? You know? This is why we can't

323
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: have nice things. You know, this is why this shit happens. Anyway,

324
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: that's the fight breakdown for this one. I love what

325
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: I saw from Crawford. I love the mid fight adjustments.

326
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: He just outthinks guys. But he's able to pair that

327
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: ability to outthink, that ability to be long and slick

328
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: with a true badass, old school backbone to finish fights.

329
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: Not just the ability to finish fights, willingness, the precision,

330
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: the anger, that streak that goes through him. He's a

331
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: bad dude. He don't look to go to the scorecards.

332
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: Who's the last guy to go to the cards with him?

333
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: A unification about at one against the guy, the guy

334
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: that just lost to to Jose Ramiriage. You know the

335
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: guy I'm talking about, the guy that knocked out Matisa,

336
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: you know the guy, the Ukrainian guy. You know the

337
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: guy I'm talking about, And he had knocked that guy

338
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: down twice early in that fight and completely controlled it.

339
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: Bud Crawford is great. That's all I gotta say. Thank you.

340
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm out You know I'm out here. We don't want

341
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: what else you want me to do? You want me

342
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: to tell jokes. It's like after midnight. I mean, like

343
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: you know,
