00:00:59,280 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: and Friday.

00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: And some of the MMA fans are gonna be wondering

22
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: what about the UFC stuff.

23
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: We've got plenty of covers coming for that on Monday,

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: we're gonna get to Cordy Sanahagan's win and everything else.

25
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: But right now we're talking about what just ended. Behind me,

26
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: you can't quite see it because it's over my shoulder,

27
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: but the Middle Camp will show you here in just

28
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 2: a second. We are here in the MGM Grand Garden Arena,

29
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: actually in this thing. There's still some people here because

30
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: they're doing some post limbs, but we want to talk

31
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: about the main event that just concluded. So if you

32
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: have been living under a rock and you don't want spoilers,

33
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: now's your time to go.

34
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: Five four three two one. You can hear the commentator there.

35
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: Excuse me, a miguol Flores, I believe a re announcer'

36
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: bringing some other folks to the ring. But here's how

37
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: the main event went for David Benavidez and Caleb Plant.

38
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: David Benavidez wins via unanimous decision with scores as follows

39
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: one fifteen, one thirteen, one sixteen, one twelve, and then

40
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: one seventeen one eleven. I think the last two, to me,

41
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: are a little bit more defensible.

42
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: Obviously, it's just one fight. Sorry, Counto was coming there.

43
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: Obviously it's just one fight, and it's actually the way

44
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: you want to think about this main event to me

45
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: was that everything kind of slowly turned into what it

46
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: ultimately became. But if you look at the scoring, it

47
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: almost feels like a tale of two fights, namely everything

48
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: that happened up until the sixth round and then everything

49
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 2: that happened from the sixth round on.

50
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: What do I mean by that? From the sixth round on?

51
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: I believe the unofficial scorer four showtimes Steve Farhood never

52
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: gave a single round from six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,

53
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: and twelve didn't give a single round to Kayleb Plant,

54
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: and neither did I. In the first five. It becomes

55
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 2: a little diceier. There are there are possibilities to have

56
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: for one Kalb Plant inside the first five. I had

57
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: three to two Kleb Plant inside the first round, but

58
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: once David Benavitez started going downhill.

59
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: It just stayed that way. Truly, let's just back up

60
00:02:59,639 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: a step.

61
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: Cards on the table thought Caleb Plant was gonna win

62
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: totally wrong, although there are some I think redeeming elements

63
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: to his performance, but still, this was the David Benavidez show,

64
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: and he won and deserved to win, and from the

65
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: sixth round on was frankly unstoppable.

66
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: So here's how the fight went.

67
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: From what I can tell a talking about through the

68
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: first five competitive in spots. The first round was kind

69
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 2: of hard to judge. I thought Caleb had a better

70
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: second and third. Maybe Benavidez had one in the fourth,

71
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: and then Caleb maybe rebounded a little bit in the fifth.

72
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: That was it. But what was Caleb doing early?

73
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: Early you saw him using this sort of lead hand

74
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: as a way to kind of judge distance, be an

75
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: element to distract. Right, he could go high, then he

76
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: would jab to the body. He would set up a

77
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: lot of different things he would want to do. At

78
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: times you could see David Benavidez kind of slapping it

79
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: out of the way to get frustrated. But Caleb Plant

80
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: initially was working behind the body jab. Laterally he was

81
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: getting Benavidez to cover up and then throwing quick flurries

82
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: body and head. You saw some of the same things

83
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: that he didn't just do them in the Drel fight,

84
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: but from the Drell fight where he was doubling up

85
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: on the same side or doubling up on the other side,

86
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: right where he go left hook to the body, left

87
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 2: hook to the head. So early on it looked like

88
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: Kayleb Plant had the right idea, and early on he

89
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: was landing more ultimately than David Benavitez. The movement was there,

90
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 2: the anticipation was there. David Benavitez was trying to jab

91
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: his way in it. It was, you know, working sometimes

92
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: it wasn't that effective. He was counter striking a lot, counterpunching,

93
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 2: kind of just wading around. And we always know that

94
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 2: David Benavidez doesn't necessarily start strong, and so you thought, Okay,

95
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: Caleb's doing well, this is going roughly.

96
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: According to plan.

97
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 2: Of course, as we indicated, having the Stephen Breadman Edwards

98
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: in his corner this time. Breadman Edwards, of course, was

99
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 2: the game plan mastermind behind Jay Rocks win over Jared

100
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: Swift heard. You knew he had some kind of idea

101
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: about what to do.

102
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: In those spots.

103
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: Another thing that you saw Caleb do was he was

104
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: on his horse, he was working to the body, he

105
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: was working in combination, and then when Benavitez got too

106
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: close to him, he would clinch up right. You saw

107
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 2: that all the time, and for the first five rounds, however,

108
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: many you want to give to Caleb. I thought he

109
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: won the majority of them, either four one or three two.

110
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: This was going fairly wellish for him. This was going

111
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: pretty well again. He was winning the fight up to

112
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: that point. But here's the problem, and this is where

113
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: it all kind of came apart for him in the end.

114
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: Number one, I think this was the biggest factor. We're

115
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: going to get BC's opinion here in just a few moments.

116
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: But to me, he just couldn't hurt David Benavitez if

117
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: you look at their faces afterwards, and of course that's

118
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: a very rough measurement of things, but Caleb Plant did

119
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: have a cut from an inavertent headbutt, but was also

120
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: his ear looked really swollen and red, not kind of

121
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 2: cauliflower swollen, the bad his face was a mess, like

122
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: he had really was wearing the damage in a way

123
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 2: that Benavidez simply wasn't.

124
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: He wasn't getting hit enough for that to happen.

125
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: Caleb Plant was able to score early, but he was

126
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: never able to discipline David Benavidez. He was never able

127
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: to get David Benavidez off of him. He was never

128
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: able to get David Benavitez confused or really thinking, at

129
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: least not for long stretches of that bout. So in

130
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 2: the first five rounds, I thought Caleb was doing pretty well.

131
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 2: I thought the clinching was pretty great, but as we mentioned,

132
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: it just kind of fell apart for him after the sixth.

133
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: I want to get to some of the striking totals

134
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 2: that we have numerically here in just a minute. We'll

135
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 2: do that for too long here. But what I thought

136
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 2: David Benavidez did a really good job of was when

137
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: he realized that Plant couldn't get him off I couldn't

138
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: back him up, couldn't get him off of him, couldn't

139
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: make him respect the space, couldn't really confuse him, and

140
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: now he was walking into him with much more I

141
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 2: want to say, abandoned, but much more purpose. Frankly pace

142
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 2: a little bit as well. And from there that's when

143
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: the fight really got away from Kleb Plant. He was

144
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: still trying to use lateral movement, staying off the ropes,

145
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,679
Speaker 2: getting back to center. Was able to do some of that, okay,

146
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: but you really saw from round six on, especially in

147
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: rounds eight and nine, I thought that's the words got

148
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: ratcheted at a big time David Benavitez able to land.

149
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: I thought one of David Benavitez's best punch, how about

150
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: that left hook, and he was catching it between punches

151
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: with Caleb Plant. He was catching it off the jab,

152
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: he was catching it off movement, he was catching it

153
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: from different angles. And then the other key portion of this,

154
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: even though you heard I think some commentary around how

155
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: much David Benavidez was head hunting, the other component was

156
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: the rest space that Caleb Plant was trying to occupy

157
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: by the hugging, by the clinching. Which you eventually noticed

158
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: is that Kenny Bayliss is quick the referee to separate them.

159
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: And I did think that worked to Caleb plants benefit early,

160
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: but over time what you saw was that David Benavidez

161
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: better about using frames, better about giving himself just enough

162
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: room where he could strike his way in the middle

163
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 2: of it, strike his way to keep the clinch going,

164
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: to keep referee Kenny Bayliss off of him, and land

165
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: seriously damaging shots hooks over and over again again. Go

166
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: look at kayleab Plant's ears a disaster, a total disaster.

167
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: He was able to rock him, forcing more clinching where

168
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: he would either get separated again and then begin to

169
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: back up or even more punishment was really met it out.

170
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: Why do I bring all this up?

171
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 2: Because if you can walk Caleb Plant down, if you

172
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: can't discipline you with the job, if he's not really

173
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: slowing you down to the body, and of course now

174
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 2: you're able to land some of your left hooks in

175
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: between what he's doing on all the exits, and he

176
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: can no longer clinch with you, not effectively, And that's

177
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 2: now going to be a place where you can just

178
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: do inside fighting.

179
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's the fight turning. He added some more punches.

180
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 2: Dad at Benavitez, I thought from that eighth, ninth, and

181
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: especially the last three of the tenth, the eleventh, and

182
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 2: the twelfth uppercuts, the upper cuts he was able to

183
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: land on Caleb Plant as he was kind of bent

184
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: over and forced over were dramatic. They had a huge,

185
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: huge impact. I think BC is done. We're gonna get

186
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: him here in just a second, he's taking pictures. Here

187
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: he comes running. I'm gonna make fun of him taking

188
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: pictures with doncs. He actually denied an mk donk earlier

189
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: who wanted a picture. That's a fact, all right, Let's

190
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 2: bring him in. He's my friend in yours. He's got

191
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 2: a pocket square on that he's very happy about. We're

192
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: gonna get his scores and everything else. Boy, I look

193
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: like shit with this untied tie.

194
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: Good lord, I mean when you back on shift, does

195
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: the chauffeur luke? I mean, what are we doing here?

196
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: I really just looked like I'm gonna get your car.

197
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm wearing every shade of blue they've ever made.

198
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 3: But let's talk about the fight. Well, it's picked up

199
00:09:59,240 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: where you left off.

200
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:00,599
Speaker 1: Where are we in this?

201
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 2: I was just about to give Caleb Plant some compliments

202
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:04,479
Speaker 2: for his toughness.

203
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: Let's givehim a lot of compliments. This is David Benavitez's night.

204
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: It's night.

205
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 2: But his stock did not go down today. Oh well

206
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 2: it did a little bit, a little Yeah it did.

207
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 2: Look here's the idea.

208
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 3: Ultimately, Kayleb Plant had to keep this fight on the

209
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: inside to be able to lock up Benavidez when things

210
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 3: got tight. The problem is he was really never able

211
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: to consistently get off offense on the inside. So he

212
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: does exactly so, certainly from a toughness factor, from a

213
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: willingness to face the best. You have to love what

214
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: Caleb Plant showed and the build up to this fight

215
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: on fight night and the respect afterwards. But how about

216
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: this fight that's built on trash talk and the real hate,

217
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 3: and benavite is telling me on stage fluck no. After

218
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 3: Friday's weigh in withou the hat sche to ever be

219
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: buried here. Plant loses the fight, certainly gains a lot

220
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 3: more respect of anybody who had doubts about him, But

221
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 3: then the two of them go from enemies to friends,

222
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 3: just like that. Cala Plant did earn that in defeat. Obviously,

223
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 3: though across the board, everything we said about David Benavitez

224
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 3: in terms of his upper bound limits his potential as

225
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 3: the Mexican Monster, as Mike Tyson named him.

226
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that boogeyman at one six eight is for real.

227
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: He's coming.

228
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 3: The pressure is relentless. It's pressure on top of pressure.

229
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 3: And if you can't hurt him, and if you can't escape.

230
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: Him, what can you do?

231
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 3: That's what's gonna happen. I mean, you know, there was

232
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 3: a way this could be a lot like the Canela fight.

233
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 3: There'd be different opponents for Kayleb Plant, but the idea

234
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 3: of he might win a certain amount of rounds in

235
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: the first half, but then it's that pressure walking him down.

236
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: Can he with stand it?

237
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: I do wonder in this fight, if it was a

238
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: different referee, if it was a smaller ring, maybe Kayleb

239
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 3: Plant would he look close to going out a couple

240
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: of the rounds. In the end, it doesn't matter so much.

241
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 3: It's still just as impressive of a victory for Benavidez. But

242
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 3: how much do you think the Kenny Bayliss factor played

243
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: into anything?

244
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 2: People were honestly, here's what I said it. I looked

245
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 2: at Steve Farhood's scoring and I think yours and mind

246
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 2: matched it. I said, you know, it's not a tale

247
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: of two different fights, but the scoring kind of looks

248
00:11:59,520 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: that way.

249
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: Here's what I mean. Rounds one through five.

250
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 2: You can find three, sometimes four rounds for Kayleb Plant

251
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: in that first five, so it's either three, two or

252
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 2: four to one.

253
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: Plant.

254
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: I scored it the fight nine to three. I gave

255
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 3: Caleb Plant though, three rounds one, two and four.

256
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 2: Four, right, So this is my point. He had the

257
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: first three with inside the first five, but round the

258
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: sixth round on Benavitez never looked back, and I like

259
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: the way you put it, as I was saying the

260
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: exact same thing. Listen, if you're Kayleb Plant. He was

261
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 2: able to land on Benavidez early. He was able to

262
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: score early in that matter, especially given some of the

263
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: early hesitancy from David Benavidez, which we know he does,

264
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 2: but he couldn't hurt him and he couldn't confuse him. Yes,

265
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 2: some of the movement was good, and he was able

266
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 2: to be slippery early, but not enough to avoid the damage.

267
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: And I like what you brought up. You're asking about

268
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 2: the Kenny Bayless factor. Early on, I thought it was significant.

269
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 2: As time more on, I did not think that as

270
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: much because Benavitez was able to frame and score uppercuts

271
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: and hooks in these tiny night little windows that was

272
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 2: ringing Caleb Plant's bell over and over and over again.

273
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 2: And the times you'd actually see Kenny Bayliss reach in

274
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 2: to break them up, and you'd see Benavidez still throwing

275
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: through all of that, scoring Caleb Plant at times true false,

276
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: especially later hanging on for dear Lord in this content.

277
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 3: And again under different circumstances, a smaller ring, maybe a

278
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 3: different referee would have handled differently. The reason why I'm

279
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 3: not as up in arms. Did Kenny Bayliss go too

280
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 3: far and have too much?

281
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: You can?

282
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 3: Yes, he did. The thing that I'm ultimately saying is

283
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 3: that's what you get. I mean, he's a Hall of

284
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 3: Fame referee, he is the great reputation. But referees have

285
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 3: strike zones, just like umpires and baseball. Look no further

286
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 3: than the two fight series which was Floyd Mayweather and

287
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 3: Marcos Madonna from twenty fourteen. The first fight a majority decision, wild,

288
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 3: incredible fun. Twenty weeks was your referee that yeah, twenty

289
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 3: weeks from because from Castillo Corrals one right, Kenny Bayless

290
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 3: number two. In the rematch, you saw much different fight.

291
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: You also, Floyd use a much different strategy, relying on

292
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 3: his legs and his quickness and his boxing. But you

293
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: have to know what you're getting into with this type

294
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 3: of referee. But I'm basically saying, for all the hullabu,

295
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 3: the right guy won.

296
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: The right guy still figured it out.

297
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 3: Look, we ended up you and I in a very

298
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 3: close fight on paper, odds wise, picking Plant believing in

299
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 3: those skills, believing that he could endure and boy did

300
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 3: he and Dura, Let's give him that credit.

301
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: But we were ultimately predicting.

302
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: David Benavite's demise based on the idea that he looks

303
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: so perfect to get in a certain level against a certain

304
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 3: level of competition, But what is going to be the

305
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 3: hole that jumps out on the highest level when tested

306
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 3: against a guy who's quicker, more adaptable to the pure

307
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 3: science of it, None of those questions emerged, I mean,

308
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 3: because he had the answer every single time. He didn't

309
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 3: guess out, even though he certainly used the bad blood

310
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 3: between them to fuel himself, never too far.

311
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: To a negative point. Maybe in rounds one or two.

312
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 3: We're the only times I'm thinking benavite is chasing a

313
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 3: little bit too much, trying to do mono Imno. Ultimately,

314
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 3: Benavetez held firm so when you removed all of those

315
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 3: potential intangibles, and even though I predicted that from a

316
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 3: toughness factor, Plant had the potential there to go the

317
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: distance and maybe even have a chance on the scorecards.

318
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 3: The punches from Benavitez really took the starch out of

319
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: Plant really where it became survival mode around in that

320
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: round six to seven area was the first time you're

321
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 3: seeing Plant get rocked by punches and you're starting to

322
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 3: ask yourself, is he won punch away from a knockdown?

323
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 3: Is he one more big punch away from this fight

324
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 3: being over? I give Plant obviously a ton of credit

325
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 3: for being such a dog in the twelfth round for

326
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: still coming back at him, But round six through twelve

327
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 3: went Benavite's away in a lot of ways because those punches,

328
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 3: although not knocking down or finishing Plant, they had a

329
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 3: lot of effect on his stamina. They wore him down. Dude, Belenavetez,

330
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 3: is that guy. It didn't matter. Did he overtrain?

331
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: It didn't matter.

332
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 3: Any of That is why you make the fights between

333
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 3: the elites to find out. Boy, we found out, and

334
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 3: it's one of those times where you're happy we gotta

335
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 3: give predictions because that's what we do in our show

336
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 3: is but you're happy you got it wrong because you

337
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: want to see that guy potentially knocking on the door

338
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 3: of Canelo Alvarez. That's something we've been talking about for

339
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 3: I don't know, three four five years in terms of

340
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 3: what type of opponent could ultimately be that perfect kryptonite

341
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 3: for how great that under speed championship.

342
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: Let me see something about the pick, the Benavidez and

343
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: the Plant pick. I mean, obviously we're totally wrong and

344
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: realal Marquez blowing us up on Twitter for I see you.

345
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he but he told us though to our

346
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: let's call him out. It's his moment.

347
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: But he said, I'm not going to be there after

348
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: the fight when you guys are crying because Caleb Plant

349
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 3: got stopped. Yeah, I mean, Dimonte, can you pull you know,

350
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 3: we step on the brakes a little bit here.

351
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: Here is my hesitancy ahead of time.

352
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 2: And if you talk to all the other boxing experts,

353
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 2: most of them not that we are, but if you

354
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 2: talk to actual ones, they mostly thought that Benavidez would

355
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: do ultimately what he did.

356
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: He was the favorite to win this one. So there

357
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: you go. L d Monte, good job picking the favorite.

358
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 3: Do you look like vincevon Swing? I know, I just

359
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: alive I anyone where the high school girls hang out.

360
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: I look terrible. But here's the thing BC, and you

361
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: might agree with me on this. Benavitez has always looked

362
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: really good on tape, right. I mean, he's got certain

363
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 2: things he does that aren't conventional boxing. But in terms

364
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 2: of the punishment he delivers and the way in which

365
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: he does it. He's always been really, really highly touted

366
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: and very interesting. But I'm sorry, Caleb Plant was the

367
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: toughest opponent he had ever faced by far, certainly the

368
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 2: most unique one in terms of the movement. For MEBC,

369
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 2: I tell you what, I wasn't sure what kind of

370
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 2: crowd I was ready to expect tonight. They were a sellout,

371
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 2: massively pro Benavidez. There was a bunch of Mexican boxers

372
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: on the crowds. They were pro Mexican in general, but

373
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: huge Benavidez crowd, and BC I thought that Benavitez delivered.

374
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: I thought, at twenty six years old, he's never looked better.

375
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 2: Remember he came in at one sixty six and change

376
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 2: on the scales. Boy, if there was any doubters out there,

377
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 2: and we were a couple of them about Benavidez, it's

378
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 2: time to.

379
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: Put a lot of that away.

380
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 2: He really, really, really not only thought the tough guy,

381
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 2: but he looked the best I'd ever seen him. Yes,

382
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 2: he's got other knockouts and amazing highlight reels, but again

383
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 2: against who not against guys of this caliber, and for

384
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: him to put on the performance he did, especially when

385
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 2: he was going downhill for the sixth round on Wow,

386
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: super super impressive. David Benavidez is a star in boxing,

387
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: A star, always was one, as was always on the move.

388
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 2: Tonight was the night where he became a legitimate star

389
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: in the world of boxing.

390
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: A validating moment without question.

391
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 3: And I like to plants, game plan, movement, a lot

392
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 3: of that stuff early. But what Benavitez is showing us

393
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 3: is can you can you do that for twelve rounds?

394
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 3: Can he keep cooking in the kitchen when you know

395
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 3: there's flames everywhere?

396
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: I want to talk. Wow, it's really really hard. I

397
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: was say, I'm not getting out invalidating my parking. Dude.

398
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 2: I actually wasn't even thinking when I was looking at

399
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 2: the suit, and then I put it on before I

400
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 2: came downstairs, and I swear to God, this is the

401
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 2: first thing I thought.

402
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: I go, dude, fucking BC is gonna.

403
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: Roast all night long?

404
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, not wearing these pants. It's not as easy to

405
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: take to just sit here. I mean, come on, but uh.

406
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 2: Okay, I want to I'm not I'm not gonna get

407
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 2: on Twitter. I want to look at the stats are defensive. Well,

408
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: you know, Friday wasn't my best show, but here we are. Uh,

409
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 2: let's look at the stats on this one BC because

410
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: they were dramatic, so jabs twenty three percent of Benavitez

411
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: the shots were jabs. Yeah, just nine percent just not.

412
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: Actually, excuse me, want to say go to the total punches.

413
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: Nine I was nine percent. Excuse me, I'm reading it wrong.

414
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 2: Nine percent scored for Plant. Uh, twenty three percent scored

415
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 2: for Benavidez. He landed thirty of them. How about this

416
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 2: power shots? Just eighteen percent scored for Kayleb Plant, sixty eight,

417
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty for David Benavidez. And this was

418
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 2: the big one obviously, total thirty eight percent of the

419
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: strikes or punch excuse me, lander for David Benavidez two

420
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 2: hundred and ten scored just.

421
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: Ninety one for Caleb Plant.

422
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 2: Caleb Plant got outlanded more than two to one, more

423
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 2: than it can't beat David Banavida's that w can't scores

424
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 2: were a little bit too cool. One seventeen one eleven

425
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: was a little high.

426
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: No, that was my scorecard, nine rounds to three. I actually.

427
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 3: Because I didn't see Plant really do much. Great survival

428
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 3: skills for sure, great at least trying to find moments

429
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 3: in rounds that he was getting beat up in the

430
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 3: second half. But the second half was all of ben Avida's.

431
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 3: So unless maybe you overloaded the front half, either way,

432
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 3: the right guy won.

433
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: That's not what it is.

434
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 3: But I don't want to go further Luke without hitting

435
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 3: back on that end of that fight sequence, the post fight.

436
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 3: I don't know if this matters to you, guys, but

437
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 3: this is a brutal, violent sport, and all the fights

438
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 3: don't always get made, and you know they're gonna be

439
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 3: bad headlines. There was something really pure a transaction that

440
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: took place in there, Caleb Plant earning the respect of

441
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 3: his you know, most hated rival, his hat Field and

442
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 3: his McCoy.

443
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: That felt like awesome afterwards.

444
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 3: Great to see Benavidez Senior come over and apologizing, to

445
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 3: see him bull and see Benavidas on Mike just go look,

446
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 3: I can't talk about about this guy. Jim Gray was

447
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 3: bringing up the past like I don't want to talk about

448
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: it about this guy. I love this guy now. I

449
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: love that You don't. You don't get those happy good

450
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 3: fields and this is the end of like a you

451
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 3: know sitcom like full House, like you know they play

452
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 3: the nice music and and like you know, DJ's got

453
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 3: to come to terms in this one parent household. But

454
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 3: the bunch of uncles are.

455
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, I think it was pretty clear

456
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 2: to Cayleb Plant from rounds ten and eleven he was

457
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: not gonna win this.

458
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: He was gonna try.

459
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 2: He didn't lay down, but I think it appeared clear

460
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 2: to him he wasn't gonna be able to win. He

461
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 2: stopped moving nearly as much by the eleventh round. He

462
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 2: was that game plan for the first two rounds was gone.

463
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 2: But here's what he refused to relinquish. And this is

464
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 2: what I think David Benavidez picked up on. He just

465
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 2: refused to surrender emotionally. He refused to surrender competitively, even

466
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 2: if he knew he was gonna lose, even if he

467
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: knew he was gonna beat. I think bybe excuse me,

468
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: I think that David Benavidez picked up on that and.

469
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: Realized that's who he had.

470
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 2: They were slinging the dogs in the last thirty seconds.

471
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: It was crazy. That's what Caleb Plant earned in terms

472
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: of respect tonight from what Davi.

473
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 3: Fuel Benavitez being so jovial afterwards. You want to find

474
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 3: your equal, You want to and not that they weren't

475
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 3: equals on this night. You want to find sobody who

476
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: can drive you past the level that you may get

477
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 3: to on your own.

478
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: You know that forces you to be great.

479
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 3: Caleb Plant forced David Benavitez to be great today because

480
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 3: if he wasn't, there was gonna potentially there be openings.

481
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: But let's talk up the bread Man effect.

482
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, you saw you saw Kayla Plant

483
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 3: trying to land some form of that double hook combination

484
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 3: that ended Andre Durrell and hit to you know, in

485
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 3: his last fight, the knock out of the year came

486
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 3: close early looked at one point when they traded punches,

487
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 3: I think with the fourth or fifth round, it looked

488
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 3: like Durell or they looked like Plant finally landed it.

489
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: But you know this monster just aid it and kept

490
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: coming forward.

491
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 2: So in the flurries from Kaylor Plant they didn't amount

492
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 2: to much.

493
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: They didn't and so you know, I give Plan a

494
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: lot of credit.

495
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 3: His confidence was through the roof, but we were asking

496
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 3: too much of him and a new trainer.

497
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: If Benavetez was able.

498
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 3: To leave no questions lingering, and that's exactly what he did.

499
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: So uh, the crowd was elected.

500
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 3: You know, I've it's no secret that I'm a sucker

501
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 3: for this right, big time Vegas Championship fight feel. You know,

502
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 3: we always say the last ten minutes before you know

503
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: they touched gloves to start a pay per view main

504
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 3: event is the most exciting ten minutes in sports, and

505
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 3: you certainly had that tonight. I'm not comparing this pop

506
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 3: or this feel to when I was in the same

507
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 3: building for Mayweather Canelo in twenty thirteen, or Mayweather pakiaur

508
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 3: over a team mobile for even Mayweather McGregor, but there was.

509
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: Like an extra special feel in the year.

510
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 3: Not just in the build up to them walking to

511
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 3: the ring, to the fans being all pro Benavidez, but

512
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 3: there was just an extra level of energy.

513
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: The fans really appreciated the fight that they got.

514
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 3: It wasn't a barn burner, it wasn't yeah, but it

515
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 3: was dramatic. It was intense the whole time, and watching tonight,

516
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 3: what a close up for the sport watching to night.

517
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 2: Watching Benavidez connect with his own audience before you know,

518
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 2: I guess he's done it before.

519
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: He's big in Arizona. Obviously we're not far from there.

520
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: You saw a lot of Arizona flags in attendance here tonight.

521
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: But I really really believe this was the night that

522
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 2: he met the demand of the Mexican fight fans. He

523
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 2: met them, he I think, in many ways exceeded them,

524
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: and it brings us BC to this conversation that we

525
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: have to have. You heard David Benavidez say it afterwards,

526
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 2: although it's no secret in this way class at one

527
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty eight pounds, there is one man who

528
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 2: has all the titles and his name is Canelo Alvarez. Now,

529
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 2: Canelo Alvarez has a mandatory fight he's taking for single

530
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 2: Demio against the guy with the name of John Ryder.

531
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 2: Corig me if I'm wrong, BC. Canelo Alvarez typically fights

532
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 2: around two times a year, once on single Demayo and

533
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: then once in September for Mexican Independence Day, right, so

534
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 2: we don't know what he's gonna do. He has this

535
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 2: fight with Ryder coming up. He has told most media

536
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 2: outlets he wants another crack at Bivol. I don't know

537
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen. I don't like that fight for Canelo

538
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 2: obviously based on what happened, but we'll see.

539
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: BC.

540
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 2: What are the impediments to making a fight between David

541
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: Benavidez and Canelo Alvarez.

542
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: Shit, lay that one out for us. How does that

543
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: one get made or not? In theory, it comes down

544
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: to Canelo. Now. A reputation for Canelo in terms of always.

545
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: Looking at to make the biggest fights, check right, we

546
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 3: got that. But membership has its privileges when you're the

547
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 3: biggest star in the sport. Canelo is when you're among

548
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 3: the pound for pound best, and look, he just had

549
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 3: his run where he was the pound for pound best

550
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 3: without question.

551
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: He's also a competitor.

552
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 3: He also realized that even though we watched Bevall kind

553
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 3: of largely you know, one sided league beat him. It

554
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 3: was seven five seven five seven five and all three

555
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 3: score cards. So one thing is look at large. Kennelalversus

556
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 3: is the rare promotional and network free agent. He tends

557
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 3: to take most of his business to Eddie Hearn and

558
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 3: ultimately on his own, although obviously came to Showtime pay

559
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 3: per view for the Caleb Plant. It's going to be

560
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 3: up to him as long as he's not, as long

561
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 3: as he didn't sign something with Eddie Hearn that keeps

562
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 3: him there, an extra fight or any kind of option.

563
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 3: When Canelo gets through with John Ryder, He's gonna have

564
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 3: a decision. Potentially it's going to defend on It can

565
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 3: depend on bevall schedule, and we all of course want

566
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 3: Bevall to go in the direction of Archer better Viev

567
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 3: and have their own undisputed fight at one seventy five

568
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: for all four belts. But Canelo's got to make the

569
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 3: decision of giving the fans exactly what they want of

570
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 3: this type of fight between the Mexican superstar, Mexican American

571
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 3: rising stud who has captured that fan base and come

572
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 3: back to the division where he's best in show. No

573
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 3: one's gonna hold it against him if you dare to

574
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,959
Speaker 3: be great. But Benavetez is finally back. He did the

575
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 3: work he had to do. This fight already would have

576
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 3: happened if Benavidez hadn't been stripped to the title for

577
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 3: missing weight his fault, or maybe even years earlier, you know,

578
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 3: with the earlier stripping of the title. Benavidez at twenty

579
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 3: six put it all back together on this night.

580
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: He did his part.

581
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 3: He's got the interim WBC title, for whatever that's worth,

582
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 3: and he's got the fan saying okay, this calendar year,

583
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,479
Speaker 3: I hope we get Spence Crawford.

584
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're getting furialistic. I don't know

585
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: about these other ones.

586
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 3: I know we're getting Tank Davis Royan Garcia April twenty second,

587
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 3: and they could make this fight here in Canela Avas

588
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 3: versus David Benavidez. That is arguably as big or bigger

589
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 3: than all of those, based on your expectations for entertainment.

590
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,719
Speaker 3: One of the best divisions in the sport one sixty eight,

591
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 3: all four titles on the line. I mean, this man

592
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: is the boogeyman of this division for a reason, Benavitez.

593
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: It still holds true even.

594
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 3: With a guy like David Morel, a young fighter who

595
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 3: looks really good has has a title, even with all

596
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 3: these other names, Jamal CHARLOI possibly moving up andred all that.

597
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 3: The one guy who you're like, oh okay, that might

598
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 3: be the kryptonite for Superman, it's Benavidez.

599
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: He made me again.

600
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 2: I wasn't exact. Yeah, I guess he did make me

601
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: a believer. I guess he did. He made me a

602
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 2: believer in what he could do in this weak lass.

603
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 2: Who would you favor at a fight between Canelo? And

604
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 2: here's what's interesting about that. Canello did not have the

605
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 2: best twenty twenty two. He dared to be great but

606
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: lost against Bevall.

607
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 3: And his trilogy fight at one sixty eight against middleway

608
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,239
Speaker 3: champion and aging Gonadi Glovkin was not this showcase of

609
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 3: history or back and forth. Canello kind of, you know,

610
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 3: kind of limped to the finish line and got a

611
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 3: decision deservedly. Not a great fight. Canello's got a lot

612
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 3: of answer, a lot to answer right now. You know,

613
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 3: can't he get back to that position atop the pound

614
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 3: for pound list? The competitor in him is gonna want

615
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 3: to prove that. So I think there's a very good

616
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 3: chance we see this.

617
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 2: The other factor is you just have to wonder how

618
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 2: much the boxing industry inside Mexico heavily powered by fans,

619
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 2: but you know the other power players are too. What

620
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 2: kind of pressure they're going to put on Canelo to

621
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 2: take this fight?

622
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: You asked me who who would be favored?

623
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 2: Is that what you asked me, how would you see it?

624
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 2: It's funny, right, yeah, right, But Canelo is not the

625
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 2: kind of fighter Benavidez is, but a similar game plan

626
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: from both broke Kayler Plant.

627
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: Sure, obviously Canelo was able to do it.

628
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 2: In the eleventh he did a ton of body work, which,

629
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 2: by the way, Benavidez didn't do a whole lot of.

630
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: No, he did a lot more head.

631
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 3: But I think especially early on when Kayla Plant was

632
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 3: still so spry and prime, before the punches started to

633
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 3: wear him down, it wasn't easy to slow down the

634
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 3: moving target.

635
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 2: Also, it was something we thought when we saw them

636
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 2: at the wigh end. It's like, oh, Benavidez is not

637
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: that much bigger, but in the ring, oh he looked

638
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 2: so all. You know, he just looked like a much

639
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: bigger guy. So I don't know, man, I don't Canelo

640
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 2: is hard to pick against. But at twenty six, twenty six,

641
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 2: David Bitavi, this is twenty Well.

642
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 3: I guess what I was saying is this is the

643
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 3: best time to make this fight and try to see

644
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 3: how close the odds actually can get. Because there's some

645
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 3: questions about has Canelo aged a bit, as he's still

646
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 3: that dude, because he turned prought fifteen less. Not forget okay, right,

647
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,479
Speaker 3: he had like just as many fights as Floyd when

648
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 3: they met in twenty thirteen. It's incredible how long he's

649
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 3: actually been around. But David Benavie is a Stock could

650
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 3: not be any higher. And let's put the final bit

651
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 3: of respect on what benavidas showed, and he shouted himself

652
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 3: out afterwards.

653
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: He did show responsible defense.

654
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 3: He wasn't squaring up and there to be hit in

655
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 3: the you know, I thought his slow pace in the

656
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 3: beginning was necessary. He needed to let Kayleb Plank get

657
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 3: all that movement out of the way. But once those

658
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 3: those short chopping punches and the work on the inside

659
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 3: started to happen.

660
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: Man denying the clinch too design the you.

661
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 3: Know, and if there's any way that fight couldn't get made,

662
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 3: you just as much want to see him against Charlo

663
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 3: Andreid or morel Like you're damn right.

664
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, so those are great, We have to talk

665
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 2: about it here. Kayleb plant again. First, Yeah, two fifths

666
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:03,959
Speaker 2: of the fight did pretty well. After that, I kind

667
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 2: of got away from him. Where does he go from here?

668
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 2: Because again Stock rose in terms of the dog factor.

669
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: Yep.

670
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 2: But your stock gets hurt because now you face a

671
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 2: guy who's the top contender in the way class and

672
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 2: you lost, and you lost thoroughly, so that puts you

673
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 2: down a little bit further. Has some work to do.

674
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: What an Andred fight makes sense? Who would make sense

675
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: for Kayla Planet of this stage?

676
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 3: It sounds, you know, lame to say it, but any

677
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 3: of those super elite names, you know what I mean?

678
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 3: I would you would you love to see a debuting

679
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 3: Jamal Charlow a super middleweight to get the thing is,

680
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 3: I don't think Kayleb plants Gonnat necessarily want to go

681
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 3: back to the drawing bird and step down his level

682
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 3: of competition. He's trying to be as great as he

683
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 3: possibly can be. I mean, it meant a lot to him,

684
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 3: whether it was safer sound or sound or not.

685
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: To finish this fight, that meant a lot to him.

686
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: Huge and to still be pushing the pace, yes, to

687
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: have his chance to win.

688
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 3: Over the respect lak Killa plank I criticized a lot

689
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 3: when that sound bite came out of the fight against Canelo.

690
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 3: Do you know the SoundBite and talk about the conversation

691
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 3: they had when he looked at Canalen and was like,

692
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 3: what do you think about boxing? Billy like not bad, right,

693
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 3: And people are like, you're really trying to get validation

694
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 3: from your opponent there. It's really not about an insecurity

695
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 3: as much as Caleb Plant is out to get his respect,

696
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 3: and you know, you can.

697
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: Validate that all you want.

698
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 3: What that means whether we should be I think he

699
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 3: got it against Canelo, and he certainly got it something

700
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 3: against Benavitez. Those two just happened to be the two

701
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 3: best in this division. I like his chances against any

702
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 3: of the other great writers, and I think you have

703
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 3: to write. Styles are always gonna make fights.

704
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: The morale, the moral fight's tough.

705
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 3: Morel fight is tough. But Morel's twenty four years old,

706
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 3: so you know, just turned twenty five. Like he's he

707
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 3: he doesn't have that same level of season anyw.

708
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: Caleb is sitting at thirty smack in the middle of

709
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 2: his prime, getting you know, not too far necessarily from

710
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 2: the end of it, maybe a year or two or

711
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: potentially even more.

712
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 3: But you know, okay, if if Benavidez goes to Canelo route,

713
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 3: then I like, I.

714
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: Like charlo versus Charloah. I like that I like that

715
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: a lot. Charlo.

716
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 3: Jamal Charlo told us himself that, look, he's trying to

717
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: come back this summer, and that may be to defend

718
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 3: the middleweight title for the final time.

719
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: He has a WBC strap. But I think like when

720
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: the moment is ready for the big one.

721
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 3: He's gonna he's gonna jump in. I mean, he said it, Luke,

722
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 3: he said it, right. Do you What do you think

723
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 3: about Jamal saying that if I get a chance to

724
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 3: fight Benefitez, you want to see bad blood. You ain't

725
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 3: seen nothing yet, because what does that do for you?

726
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 3: That gets me out of bed in the morning?

727
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: It does?

728
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 2: Did Charlos seem to hate everyone though, so it's a

729
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 2: little bit weird. Kala Planet seems you Kayla Plan also

730
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 2: seems to hate it. I mean I hate but.

731
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 3: Like just so aggressively wants you to respect it. Right.

732
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: That was the most I'll ever touch you. Luke, Okay,

733
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: why don't.

734
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 2: You tell the folks what you did today? Like a

735
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 2: fucking weirdo. Why don't you tell him? I don't think

736
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 2: this is weird, Luke. Okay.

737
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 3: On the road, so you know what it's like on

738
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 3: the road. It can't exhaust you. Yesterday we were in

739
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 3: front of a camera, you know, like six hollars in

740
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 3: the end.

741
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,239
Speaker 1: I gotta protect my mental health. So today I had

742
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: to go for a walk. You know.

743
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 3: I walked six point four miles. But I saw you

744
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 3: in the distance. You were across the street, across those

745
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 3: busy Las Vegas street.

746
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: I think we were near the area where Tupac got killed. Yes,

747
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: right to bring them. Actually we were.

748
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 3: I saw you from the distance, but you had a

749

Speaker 3: coffee in your handing There's there ain't no way in

750

Speaker 3: Luke from from distance, you know, texted at him like

Speaker 1: have breath zoom. Could you imagine?

762
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 2: Can you imagine if I lived in his neighborhood and

763
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 2: I was a woman I wouldn't feel safe anymore.

764
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:29,800

Speaker 2: This douchebag got me just walking down the street with

768
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 2: the Starbucks.

769
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 3: The thing was, so you give me back a diatribe

770
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 3: over text. It's like, well, I'm not I just want

772
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 3: That wasn't That wasn't a part of my factor. That

773
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 3: wasn't a part of my equation. That wasn't part of

774
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 3: my you know.

775
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,640

778
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: to the record store.

779
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: I actually thought that was really cool.

780
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 2: And then when I realized you were like five feet

781
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 2: away from me taking pictures like a creep, I said,

782
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 2: it was really uncurving.

783
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 3: Three and four lane roads with crazy people. I mean,

784
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 3: you know, I'm not gonna what am I gonna run

785
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 3: across to say hi to you?

786
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 2: I saw you all want I see you taking picture

787
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 2: of local mill size. I was gonna work for three

788
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 2: hours with you.

789
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 3: I mean I can only take so much LT all right,

790
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 3: I don't know what you.

791
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: Want for me. All right, all right, fair enough that

792
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: I will say this. I mean you're gonna check on

793
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: the retell property, Yeah, I will look at me.

794
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 2: I gotta go, I gotta go, uber uber after this, Uh,

795
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: I did think that the scoring in the main event

796
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 2: was basically fine. And what I mean by that is

797
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 2: the scoring on some of the other cards tonight, like

798
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 2: the Valezuela Chris Colbert fight, was a disaster.

799
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: A disa No, a disaster. Well, no it we're like

800
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: it was close, not like that.

801
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 3: I do want to say that neither you or I

802
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 3: were scoring it round by round, so we cannot until.

803
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,479
Speaker 1: We go back ninety five ninety four.

804
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 3: Okay, look, it was a close fight. That score, to

805
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 3: me is not necessarily a robbery. I reserve the right

806
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 3: to go back and check it. I think the problem

807
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 3: was that all three, just two of those being my

808
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 3: Connecticut guys that have very good reputations in this game,

809
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 3: Glenn Feldman and Dontrella, all three had the same score.

810
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 3: So it looks like this organized we got it wrong.

811
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 3: It's a ridiculous robbery. But even though Colbert succumb to

812
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 3: some big punches, including getting floored in round one, he

813
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 3: was coming back in a lot of these trounts and

814
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 3: rallying it.

815
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of rounds. He was laying against

816
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 1: the ropes getting teed off on. Look all I'm arguing,

817
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: all I'm si trying and defending here is.

818
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 3: You know, we're got people tweeting out like this is

819
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 3: you know, this is why boxing is dead and blah

820
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 3: blah Blah's like it was a close fight. It just

821
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 3: you know, maybe all three judges got it wrong. Let

822
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 3: me review it and watch it. But it was a

823
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 3: really fun fight. I mean, the first two fighters.

824
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: It's pretty good.

825
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 2: I can see why Valence Way laughter, dropping Colbert and

826
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,439
Speaker 2: then having strong moments about the course of that fight

827
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: would feel cheap.

828
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Jim Gray didn't like the scorecard. He certainly didn't.

829
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 2: He certainly didn't he let everyone know about that u

830
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 2: BC anything else.

831
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 3: You know, I can't wait for Monday's Morning Combat Show

832
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 3: where we look back at you know, you talk about

833
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 3: UFC starfsan Antonio, we spin this fight card forward.

834
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 2: Speaking of crazy ass scoring, I saw some of the

835
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 2: results from that one. You could have scored that fight

836
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 2: five nothing Corey Sanhagen, and they gave one judge gave

837
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 2: him Cheeto three rounds.

838
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: And that judge had two fights on his Yeah coming,

839
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: Let's put him in the events. Let's put him in

Speaker 1: the main event of UFC San Antonio, Texas.

841
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 2: And by the way, the referee from the horrible Fury

Speaker 2: This was this is the first fight I've actually seen

882
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 2: inside the arena. Every other fight that I've covered here

883
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 2: they always made me go to studios A and B.

884

00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: about time, About time. Bro Okay, you done. I'm fat.

888
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: I get what I said.

889
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 2: I know we're both pathetic bag guy.

890
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: All right.

Speaker 2: up with everything all on the combat sports.

895
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 3: I thought this all matched, but you know, there's a

896
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 3: lot of blue going on and I had to get

897
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 3: this pocket squared kind of even out.

898
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 2: The multiple are not trying to be rude or difficult,

899
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 2: but I do think it's time to call a conclusion

900
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 2: to the day. Broadcast therapy is working out. Otherwise everyone

901
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 2: gets all bitter. Yeah, all right, all right, why'd you

902
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 2: go put some socks on?

903
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean, could you be worse? Oh God, get those

904
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: fucking things out of here? What are you doing? All right?
