1
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: They came to Las Vegas seeking history. On this Saturday night,

2
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: a third meeting between Canela Alvarez and Ganati glove Can,

3
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: this time for Alvarez's four super middleweight world titles. Welcome

4
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: on in. It's your Canelo Triple G three Instant Analysis

5
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: and Reaction. My name is Brian Campbell, one half of

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: your Morning Combat Duo. Hey, let's not waste a lot

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: of time here, let's get right into it. This trilogy.

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: About four years after the rematch, it went down for

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: the third straight time a team mobile arena in Las Vegas.

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: And if you somehow stumbled out of this video in

11
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: which you knew you were gonna stumble into spoilers and

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: then potentially could be upset after hearing the spoilers, look

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: into the mirror and reassess your life situation. This fight

14
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: just ended us after midnight on the East Coast, so

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta let it all hang out. We

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: talked ourselves into the romantic idea that Kannati glove Can

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: could turn back time and potent redeem himself after disputed,

18
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: if not controversial bouts leading up to this point. But

19
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: youth was served in the end, as Canela Alvarez takes

20
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: what looked to be to the naked eye a wide

21
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: and clear unanimous decision victory over Gnata Glovkin. I scored

22
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: the fight ten rounds to two, one eighteen to one ten.

23
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: In some ways, I even struggled to give those two

24
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: rounds to glove can despite a fairly detailed comeback between

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: rounds nine and twelve. Overall, but the judges, which really

26
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: plays in line to the history of this series, they

27
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: saw something it seemed like none of us did. The

28
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: good news is we didn't have a draw. We didn't

29
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: have a disputed decision. In that case, we had scores

30
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: that didn't make a lot of sense. One sixteen to

31
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: one twelve for Dave Muretti in his third consecutive fight

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: in this trilogy as the judge, and one fifteen to

33
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: one thirteen for both Steve Weisefeld and David Sutherland. Wisefeld

34
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: had this same score for Canelo in the rematch. Look,

35
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: here's what it was at the end of the day.

36
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get old jazzed up for a boxing pay

37
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: per view, a super fight, and sometimes it plays out

38
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 1: in many cases to the worst case scenario in terms

39
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: of the potential or expected entertainment value. This was worst case.

40
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: Canel Overs was a ring general. He did exactly what

41
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: he had to do to keep an aging often gun

42
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: shy Gnadi Glovkin away from implementing that plan a that

43
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: we talked about when Galofkin is able to work downhill,

44
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: be the more active puncher, get out with that weapon

45
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: that is that lead jab. He's just a completely different

46
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: fighter when that's taken away from him. Then you got

47
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: to start asking him to do things that he's not

48
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: comfortable doing. Now. While a credit Triple G for that

49
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: late surge I talked about, which we can get into

50
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: here as this fight breakdown goes on. Overall, it was

51
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: a little bit sad, and you knew it pretty early.

52
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: There was a disconnect between what Triple G and trainer

53
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Banks wanted to do and what Triple G's brain,

54
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: in the connection to his body would end to ultimately

55
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: allow him to do. I don't call this a spectacular

56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: victory by Canela Olivers by any means. Again, he controlled

57
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: the action. He did some very subtle things in the

58
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: end that gave him control. But you did hear him

59
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: afterwards talk about an injured left hand, potentially even broken

60
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: in training camp. On the way here, he basically said, look,

61
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: I'm a warrior. I fought through no matter what I

62
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: think that takes away from any potential here criticism of

63
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: at thirty two coming off a loss to Dmitri Beval,

64
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: did we see a somewhat flat Canelo or do we

65
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: see a fighter going in the wrong direction? That injury

66
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: seemed to explain a lot why you didn't at the

67
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: end see Ganello Canelo, excuse me go for the finish

68
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: in the face of a potential rallying Triple G who

69
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: really did nothing for the first eight rounds complete. I

70
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: was a little disappointed by end of fight time that

71
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: we didn't see Canelo step on the guest, take advantage

72
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: of the opportunity which he talked about coming in to

73
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: be the first one to drop and maybe finish Glofkin,

74
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: and really put that stamp on the end of the series. Now,

75
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: ultimately Glofkin gets or Canelo gets the stamp of having

76
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: won a wide victory again in our eyes of what

77
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: we saw in this third fight, and it was convincing,

78
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: it was thorough, but I thought he played it safe

79
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: down the stretch, which again can be justified by a

80
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: potential left hand injury. But what did ultimately Canelo do

81
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: to win this fight and win it so widely in

82
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: my eyes, the strategicness of him to counter Triple G's jab.

83
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: We know, the speed advantage, which was big for Canelo

84
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: in the first two fights, to be fair, was potentially

85
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: going to be exasperated in this third fight by the

86
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: fact of age. In the four years there, even though

87
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: Triple G hadn't lost in the four years since the

88
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: second fight, we had start to see him look a

89
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: little bit old, particularly in the shootout with Derrevin Schenko,

90
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: particularly in the unification five months ago against Rioto Morada

91
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: in Japan, where even though Triple G scored a knockout win,

92
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: he got hurt to the body against a non puncher.

93
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: This time around, Canelo's ability to to just walk in

94
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: behind that high guard put that pressure on Triple G

95
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,559
Speaker 1: and then counter any attempts at at Triple G getting

96
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: out in front with not just one jab, but he

97
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: likes to triple him up off and that was completely

98
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 1: taken away by rounds three and four. You almost saw

99
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: a I don't want to say confused, but uh a

100
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: Triple G who started to move backwards Triple G doesn't

101
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: move backwards. So what was the key adjustment in this

102
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: ultimately in this series, Well, it came in fight two

103
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: when Canelo decided to start walking Triple G down. I

104
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: thought he utilized that strategy much earlier in this third

105
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: fight added some modifications to it, almost in some ways

106
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: took the strategy that he had as the first in

107
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: the first fight, as the counter punching boxer from the outside,

108
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: but instead of doing that from the outside, he applied

109
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: that same pressure that he used in the second fight.

110
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: Almost different circumstances, of course, But what in Floyd Mayweather

111
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: do in the first four or five rounds against Connor

112
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: McGregor and their sort of you know, odd super fight.

113
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: Stay behind that high guard, constantly put forward pressure, try

114
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: to mentally wear McGregor down and and cut out his

115
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: gas tank. In some ways, that's exactly what Canelo was

116
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: able to do in this one, even without us realizing

117
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: at the time that his left hand was limited. Now

118
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: he did throw his left hand a lot. In fact,

119
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: some of the biggest punches he land in this fight

120
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: was a very smart, leaping left hook that could over

121
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: Glovekin's jab. He threw it often early in rounds A

122
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: lot of time, it got Glovekin's attention and kind of

123
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: started making him walk backwards. But I can't over emphasize

124
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: around rounds three and four when we started to see

125
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 1: Glovekin go backward regularly. It's a really really bad sign

126
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: for a fighter who, to be very fair, a fighter

127
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: who's always been great, holds the middleweight record for title defenses,

128
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: have certain you know, streaks that are just incredible, will

129
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: go down as a Hall of famer. And in that

130
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: conversation with with the Bernard Hopkins is the Sugar Ray

131
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: Robinson's for greatest middleweight of all time? You know, Carlos Manzo,

132
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: I mean the Marvin Hagler. Uh, He's in that conversation

133
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: for real. But if there was any criticism to Glovekin

134
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: in terms of these two matched up and how he

135
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: looked at it, he doesn't make big time adjustments in fights. Now.

136
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: Look in the end in this fight he did make

137
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: some kind of adjustment. I think the adjustment was more

138
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: of just kicking himself in the ass hearing the pleas

139
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: from Jonathan Banks, who boy after round five, Jonathan Banks

140
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: in his ear saying imploring Triple G to look you

141
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: got to get behind the jab quote was I need

142
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: you to believe in everything we worked on. You didn't

143
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: see that in the first half of the fight. So

144
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to credit Triple G again for coming on late.

145
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: And was it enough to save face. I don't believe.

146
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: So despite those scores, in the end, this was kind

147
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: of what I predicted, And it goes down in sort

148
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: of a sad prediction that Canelo would take away Triple

149
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: G's plan a early in the fight. It would motivate

150
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,559
Speaker 1: Triple G into some form of a fight or flight

151
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: decision to try to salvage and save it. And again

152
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: I'll give him credit starting in round nine to start

153
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: to pick it up and try to make it happen,

154
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: but he started well too late, and to see him,

155
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: particularly between rounds four and a eight, circling backwards, going

156
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: away from punches, not cutting the ring off at all.

157
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: The other time I've ever seen that was in small

158
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: spurts in the second Canelo fight, which again is the

159
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: big reason why even though that second fight, which was

160
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: the classic of the three, was split down the middle

161
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: in terms of media and fans belief in who won,

162
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people ended up leaving, leading Canelo aside

163
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: leaning excuse me, because he walked him down. He made

164
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: Triple G step backwards. He put on the pressure, he

165
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: took the bigger shots. Well, you saw Canelo implement that

166
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: same strategy. But Triple G just just couldn't launch. He

167
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: couldn't let go. You questioned during that stretch in the

168
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: first half of the fight, was it just the speed

169
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: difference in the effects of age. Well, it was fueled

170
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: by that, but I think even more, you know, as

171
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: much as we wanted to see the Triple G of old,

172
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: it was an old Triple G, and it was a

173
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: very old Triple G who couldn't let his hands go.

174
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: Canelos strategic enough to cut him off at every turn.

175
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: Anytime it looked like Triple G was putting something together,

176
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: would be there to answer. How we should Canello overall

177
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: not overly impressive, which is what I said to start it.

178
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: So it does go down in the end as sort

179
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: of not only a whole hom and certainly the stinker

180
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: of this great historic three fight rivalry. And to be fair,

181
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: it's so rare in a historic trilogy that all three

182
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: are equal in terms of their intertainment value and competitiveness.

183
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: There's normally a stinker of the three Morales Barrera part two,

184
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: Gotti Ward part two. Typically, when you get a great

185
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: action fight in the first half, it's tough, like in

186
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: the movies, to put out a sequel that's better than

187
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: the first to build on that. Maybe Glovekin and Canelo

188
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: were rare that the second fight was even better. The

189
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: first fight was great, second fight was all time great.

190
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: In a lot of ways, it's not out of the

191
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: question that you can get a stinker like this. Look

192
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: at the Roberto Duran Sugary Leonard few of the nineteen eighties.

193
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: The first two had so many you know, first fight

194
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: was great to see Leonard loose so early. The second

195
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: fight gave you no maas third fight and shouldn't have

196
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: been in there in the end, and it was a

197
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: money grab, this kind of money grab in the end,

198
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: And I don't blame anyone who was involved. Triple G

199
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: again hadn't lost since that second fight, but clearly not

200
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: the same fighter. And at the end of the day,

201
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: even more than looking at this and saying wow, Canelo

202
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: did everything he needed to do to close that door.

203
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: The theme of this is that for a rivalry that

204
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: I think from the beginning came on too late. And

205
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: I know by saying that it's going to sound like

206
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: sour grapes from a Triple G fan. You know, underneath

207
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 1: my journalistic shell, am I a Triple gfl I'm a

208
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: fan of both guys, to be fair, But yes, you

209
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: know a lot of us in the media because of

210
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: the breath of fresh air that Triple G came when

211
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: he arrived on the scene in the US and twenty twelve,

212
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: I think for the entertainment value, for the historic value

213
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: of this series, you wanted to see him come on here.

214
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: You wanted to see him make this a good fight,

215
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: but you knew early it wasn't gonna happen. If there

216
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: was any redeeming value in the end, separate from the

217
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: anger and annoyance of hearing those scorecards so close, the

218
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: big redeeming thing was, I guess it was good to

219
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: see them as sportsmen shake hands, show each other love,

220
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: do the type of thing that great fighters who are

221
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: in a great rivalry that in essence not only to

222
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: find their era in the sport, but in some ways

223
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: their respective careers. And you can certainly make that case

224
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: for both fighters and what this feud and rivalry has

225
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: meant to them. I like that. I pop for that.

226
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: I like to see both guys giving each other the

227
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: love in respect, and you know, you want to see

228
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: them when they're old guys at the Hall of Fame

229
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: ceremony with their arms around each other. They did something

230
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: special overall in these three fights, not in this third fight,

231
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: so you're not angry at anyone that they ultimately made it.

232
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: But Canelo was very strategic in the timing of all

233
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: these fights. I always talk about how you can't rag

234
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: on Canelo too much because his use of the leverage

235
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: he has is the star of the sport, the best

236
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: fighter of the sport, you know, or arguably the best

237
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: fighter of the sport. He's always used that for good

238
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: for the most part. But you know, he waited out.

239
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: He became the middleweight champion of twenty fifteen when he

240
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: beat Miguel Coto, and he waited out facing the guy

241
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: who everyone thought was the real middleweight champion of that era,

242
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: Gonati Glovekin until twenty seventeen, essentially almost two full years.

243
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: And it was really Canelo the reason why we didn't

244
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: see this third fight at all in the past four years.

245
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: But I don't hold that against him because of all

246
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: the chances he took and the success he brought on

247
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: by climbing the weight classes, going to one sixty and

248
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: becoming in a disputed champion, going to one seventy five,

249
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: splitting two title fights. And you know you heard him

250
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: after this fight saying, look, I'm going to need some

251
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: time off, but I need to get some surgery on

252
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: his hand. But I want to come back this fall

253
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: against Beval to meet your bevall if he can get

254
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: past Zerdo Ramerez. And by the way, that's a light

255
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: heavyweight title fight that like that could be really fun.

256
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: Keep an eye out for that one. Uh, you know,

257
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: I respect that for Canelo, But this third fight came

258
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: came too late. And you know, did we try to

259
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: did we try to grind the gears and get it

260
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: excited for what the could have been if Glove can

261
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: can channel his inner Marcus, Yes, we did. And in

262
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: some ways that's part of the game in boxing, where

263
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: the peaks the times that good fights come around and

264
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: actually deliver, which is really the redeeming theme of the

265
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: first two Canelo triple g bouts, right and this post

266
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: Mayweather Paccio pay per view Dead Era. These were the

267
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: two bright spots they over delivered. You celebrate that, you

268
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: love that. It's gonna be really hard for them to

269
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: keep that up and have that happened a third time.

270
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm happy, though, for what I said head into this fight,

271
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: rather have it late than not at all, and the

272
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: arguments against it happening don't hold up well. When Canela

273
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 1: was coming off a loss coming in this fight went,

274
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: Triple G had unified middleway titles, and when you could

275
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: put four new titles at stake in this one, which

276
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: they did with the undisputed super middleweight crown, it was

277
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: still big enough. It got people's attention. Even if the

278
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: promotion wasn't overly strong. Neither fighter played too deep into

279
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: the blad blood between them to create viral moments that

280
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: got people's attention. Persons were still pretty damn high as

281
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: according to Kevin Ioli of Yahoo Sports, who talked to

282
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: the Nevada State Commission through sources, twenty million for Triple

283
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: G in this trilogy, guaranteed forty five million for the

284
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: thirty two year old Canelo Alvarez. Let's take a look

285
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: at the punch stats here. Overall, Alvarez's advantage was not

286
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: that far in the end, one hundred and thirty to

287
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty to Glovekin in total landed punches.

288
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: First time in the series, Canelo gets that advantage. Triple

289
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: G had the jab advantage of seventy four to forty five,

290
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: not surprising. What was ultimately surprising, though, was that low

291
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: output overall for Triple G. I did like though the

292
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: pockets that Canelo used as jab. It was a strategic one.

293
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: It was not only a quick counter jab in the

294
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: first three rounds to just establish and prove to Triple G,

295
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna be too slow for me. I'm gonna make it.

296
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make you pay for that. But I thought

297
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: even in the middle rounds when he started to gained

298
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: dynamic control before Glovekin's rally, I did like the jabbing.

299
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: The criticism toward Glovekin as it was in the first

300
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: two fights, even though I thought he won both, was

301
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: his lack of body punching output, landing just six punches

302
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: to the body in the first fight, eight to the

303
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: second in the second fight, and this third time around

304
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: glove Can only landing ten body shots thirty seven total.

305
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: For Alvarez, who I didn't think he committed to the

306
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: body nearly on the level that you would have thought

307
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: or wanted to if you're looking at his best pass

308
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: to victory. But let's not forget also, it's the left

309
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: hook to the liver that has become an out punch

310
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: for Canelo. And if that hand was broken, he did

311
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: throw a decent amount of left hands to the body,

312
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: but none outside of maybe one I think in round

313
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: nine or ten that sort of hit that mark and

314
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: Triple G took a step in the wrong direction and

315
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: made a face. None were the big breakthrough that you

316
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: would have been looking for. And again, if that falls

317
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: back on Canello's hand, then more than anything else, that's fine.

318
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: Power punch advantage eighty five to forty six and in

319
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: favor of Alvarez. Of course, this is all brought you

320
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: CompuBox and Alvarez landing just shy of forty percent of

321
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: his power punches thirty nine point two. And you know

322
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: the old boxing adage, which is largely unbeaten, but there's

323
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: a few outliers. If you land at least forty percent

324
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: of your power punches, you probably have won that fight.

325
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: Let's not go too much further though without looking at

326
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: this second half rally from Triple G, I'm happy that

327
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: it happened. In some ways, I kind of predicted that

328
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: he would find some life, that he would give us

329
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: a few moments of what this series used to be.

330
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: It just wasn't enough. And you know, I've certainly respected

331
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: the Zone Announced team and friends with a lot of

332
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: those guys, and you know, Sergio Moro, Todd Grisham, two

333
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: of the best in the game, Chris Mannix, and they

334
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: certainly had Danny Jacobs in there as well, and a

335
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: four man booth because of his history fighting both guys.

336
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: But you know, I thought they were which is their job,

337
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: really trying to hammer home the point between rounds nine

338
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: to twelve that we're getting flashes of the first two fights.

339
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: You know, this is the glove Kin of old. The

340
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: flashes were fleeting. They were so fleeting that even though

341
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: round nine was largely hailed by the Announced team and

342
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: social media as a comeback round for Glofkin, and I

343
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: think in intention it was. And what I mean by

344
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: that was Gloffkin came out in that round aggressive, hearing

345
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: the shots from his corner Jonathan Banks between rounds again

346
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,479
Speaker 1: imploring him to you know, come on, man, put it together.

347
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: I liked that he started to back up Canelo. What

348
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: I didn't like was his inactivity when he got Canelo

349
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: to the rope. So again, is it is it a

350
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: fear that Canelo's speed advantage in Canelo is such an

351
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: accurate efficient, you know, counterpuncher to begin with. Is it

352
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: a fear that he was going to get lit up,

353
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: you know, if he went for broke. Maybe I think

354
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: it's a little bit more of being too old, which

355
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: creates think Tyren Woodley in the last you know, four

356
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: fights of his UFC career, it creates a failure to

357
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: let go, an inability to connect with your brain to

358
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: your body. You can see the openings, you can't react

359
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: to those openings. But even though he had a little

360
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: bit of success here in round nine, everybody seemed to

361
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: give him the round. I give the round the Canelo still,

362
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: And it's because anytime Triple G had moments of backing

363
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: Canelo up or maybe landing one big punch, Canello would

364
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: come right back with a combination. And that's thought. Overall,

365
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: he did better work I did. If you're asking what

366
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 1: rounds I gave to Triple G, I did give him

367
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: the tenth round. I loved his output overall. It was

368
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: another close one, but he had the triple jab to

369
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: end it. In the final ten seconds, Canelo did uncork

370
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: a big right upper cup and it only landed partial

371
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: in the end. And also at the end of round

372
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: ten an accidental headbutt that opened up a cut around

373
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: Canelo Alvarez. His right eye never became a problem though

374
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: I gave Alvarez round eleven. In round tel twelve, Triple

375
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: G tried to make it a toe to toe fight

376
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: to a certain degree for the first time in this series.

377
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: Really you're seeing a Triple G in the trenches, mauling,

378
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: pushing Canelo with two hands to try to set up

379
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: a right hand. Too little, too late, Triple G. That

380
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: was going to have to be a style that he

381
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: was going to have to implement early, to be physical

382
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: with Canelo, to set a certain tone. And again, while

383
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: you give him some kind of respect between rounds nine

384
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: to twelve for coming on a bit, could you have

385
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: given him three or even all four of the final rounds.

386
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: I mean maybe if you had given Triple G all

387
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: four of those final rounds, by the way, and hadn't

388
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: given him many through the first eight and I don't

389
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: really think there was a round you could have or

390
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: should have. I thought Alvarez clearly edged him in every

391
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: single frame. Well, that would still be eight to four,

392
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: one sixteen, one twelve. Would that explain one of the

393
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 1: three judges scorecards in this case, Dave Mouretti. Sure. And Murretti,

394
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: by the way, one of the most respected names, as

395
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: we established coming into this fight, scored the first fight

396
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: for a glovekin one fifty one thirteen, the only scorecard

397
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: that went in his favor in this series, and had

398
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: seven to five for Alvarez in the rematch. Even if

399
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: you're gonna go buy a one sixteen twelve scorecard that

400
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: Dave Muretti did. You have to give Triple G every

401
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: every bet oleance of the benefit of the doubt. You know.

402
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: I gave Triple G round twelve because he was pushing it,

403
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: putting it on. Didn't have a huge amount of success,

404
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: but he was busy, right, And I heard Canelo's corner

405
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: before round twelve, Eddie Renoso say play it safe. Hair.

406
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: I was a little not disturbed but concerned by that.

407
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: But again you hear afterwards about the left hand you

408
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: understand that what the judges scores, though, do say to

409
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: you eight rounds to four on one card, and of

410
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: course those other two already in Sutherland going seven rounds

411
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: to five, was that both of those judges had to

412
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: not only give triple g every ounce of the benefit

413
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: of the doubt, in some ways, they had to go

414
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: even more. So you have to ask yourself, these are

415
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: well respected judges. These aren't loaded envelope type of judges.

416
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: These aren't judges who have essentially become disgraced because of

417
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: how bad that that biggest night of the office was.

418
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 1: Think C. J. Ross In Mayweather, Canelo won fourteen one

419
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: to fourteen. Think adelaid byrd in the first fight of

420
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 1: this series one eighteen one ten. I don't know where

421
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: where you find five full rounds here. And even worse

422
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: than that, you know, Todd Grisham made the statement on

423
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: the broadcast that you know had one more round going

424
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: Glofkin's way on two of those scorecards. You know he

425
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: could have want to split decision here, you know, and

426
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: Ti to mentioned I think Canelo lost that final round,

427
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: but what if you know, what if he had I'm sorry,

428
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: I think he ultimately had. How I had it where

429
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: I gave it to Triple G. But the I'm sorry

430
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: he had it the way where he said I gave

431
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: the twelfthro on Triple G, and I think that's correct.

432
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: He ultimately said he gave it to Canelo. But what

433
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: if you flipped it wouldn't have been a draw. It

434
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: would have been a debacle, and to be fair, the

435
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: first fight, it was a debacle afterwards. That's a stain

436
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: on the sport. The one eighteen one ten from their

437
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: first fight. The fact that that fight was so great,

438
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: second one better, right, but first one just so great,

439
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: like just technical, strong, great, I mean, just a great fight.

440
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,239
Speaker 1: The fact that you know us boxing diehards, who if

441
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: you're gonna if you're looking in on this and you're

442
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: saying PC, I might be an MMA guy, but I

443
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: like you. I like your passion, and you've gotten me

444
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: to take a drink from the boxing fountain and maybe me,

445
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: maybe I've been lucky that twenty twenty one was a

446
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: great year for box twenty twenty two it's been pretty

447
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: damn great too. That if you're an MMA cash in

448
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: terms of your boxing knowledge or love, or maybe you

449
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: used to love it but it ran you out and dude,

450
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: it runs a lot of people out. Okay, it almost

451
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: ran me out a couple times. Blive me. That first

452
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: fight has to look at as like oh shit, boxing,

453
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: get out of your own way for once. It's like

454
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: what a croc? The money fighter got the edge right

455
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: and it was. But us boxing hardcore, we try to

456
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: just retain some semblance of optimism. And you might say,

457
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: why because we love this damn game, because it's the best.

458
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: When it's on, it's the best part in the world.

459
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: John Anick of the UFC used to always say that

460
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people say that, know that, why does

461
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: Dana White still go to these fights? You know, I

462
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: was triple h at this Triple GP because when it's

463
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: at its best, you're gonna get the most celebrities, You're

464
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: gonna get the most eyeballs. A lot of times those

465
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: eyeballs are gonna get some dirt thrown in, because that's

466
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: what boxing does. The first fight with that decision was

467
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: dirt thrown on, you know, top of what should have

468
00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: been a steak dinner. We justified it because the draw,

469
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: which it was atrocious and tribleg got screwed, but at

470
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: least it wasn't a loss for Triple G, and at

471
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: least the fight was very good, so we thought if

472
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: we get a rematch, well maybe it could be even better.

473
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: Rarely is the second fight better than the first. In

474
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: this case, the second fight was the second fight further

475
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: pushed the narrative that Triple G's just straight up gonna

476
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: get screwed through this whole series. But again, I think

477
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 1: half the people legitimately thought Canelo won seven to five

478
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: and it was close enough fight. Where however, you had

479
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: it seven to five and either direction in the second fight,

480
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: you probably had it right if this third fight turned

481
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: out to be that scenario that Grisham said, like, if

482
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: you had scored if you were one of these three judges,

483
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: and I don't have the judges round by rounds in

484
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: front of me, I can look it up quickly, but

485
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: if I am interested to see how they would have

486
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: scored that twelfth round or how they did in the end,

487
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: if that ended up being a Canelo round, and if

488
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: they had gone the direction of Glofkin instead, what would

489
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: that have meant for the sport of this series? With

490
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: that badly of another scarlet letter, frickin' hashtag, that's boxing

491
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: stain on it. It would have it would have sucked.

492
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: It was sucked the horn. You could argue that just

493
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: hearing those scores is enough for to make people go,

494
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: all right, BC again, I love you, But the box

495
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a heartbreaker. I'm here to tell you,

496
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: Like a lot of other very good drugs, the side

497
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: effects are pretty. They're pretty. They're pretty atrocious. A little

498
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: bit of a black eye with these close scorecards. IM

499
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: not gonna lie. It could have been a lot worse,

500
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: even though Triple G getting a win in the third

501
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: fight he wouldn't have deserved, would have been some kind

502
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: of reverse karmic justice to a guy who seemingly has

503
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: always done things the right way and is still so

504
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: upset at Canelo for you potentially using steroids out of

505
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: the second fight, that the video package that welcomed them

506
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: into the arena, that was narrated was had this moment

507
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: that was like, champions don't cheat, and they showed a

508
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: picture Canelo, so you know, you know, Triple G has

509
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: always done it right. It would have been fine karmically

510
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: if Triple G got a backdoor reverse decision here, but

511
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have wanted or needed a fourth fight after

512
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: what we just saw, and again, it would have just

513
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: further perpetuated the inevitable lingering stigma on boxing that you

514
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: watch boxing enough, it'll it'll it'll fuck you over. I'm sorry,

515
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: that's just what it is. Okay, we almost got ft here.

516
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: You're happy that the right guy won. I do think

517
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for that left hand injury, as I said,

518
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: we gotta look a little bit closer now. Two fights

519
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: in a row where we didn't see the best of

520
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: Canilo overs. Can he make adjustments to be Dmitri b

521
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: Vault one seventy five in a title rematch, I'd be

522
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: willing to see it. You're gonna get a lot of

523
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: people saying, Okay, Canelo, enough with fighting Oglofkin, When the

524
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: hell are you gonna fight Tamal Charlow, David Benavitez at

525
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: one sixty eight and more? Really more, Benevitez, I agree

526
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: with you. I think I said earlier this year on

527
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: MK that like, let's let Canelo get through the B

528
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: ball and potential triple G experience. And look, there's pressure

529
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: on Canelo to get this fight for his own and

530
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: then they got it. But if we don't enter twenty

531
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: twenty three starting to you know, play the drum pads

532
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: and getting ourselves fired up to the idea of Canelo Benavidez.

533
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: Then could we start saying Canelos avoiding him? Yeah, I

534
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: mean people are already saying that. I don't think that's

535
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 1: that's fair, given his stature and given how active he is,

536
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: and given that he's basically seeking out one champion after another.

537
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: So let's give him a chance here, you know, the Bevall,

538
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: but Canelo's you know, he's probably going to be a

539
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: free agent network and promotion wise, it will be interesting

540
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: to see where he goes from there, and I think

541
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: after some time off, how he looks and how he

542
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: bounces back. Because as much as we rightfully praised how

543
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: refreshing the schedule was that Canelo has kept over the

544
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: past two three years, fighting you know, four times a year,

545
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 1: fighting sometimes four or five times in a twelve month

546
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: window over you know, over consecutive years. Just either the

547
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: grind will catch up with you eventually, you know, there's

548
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: no question about that. You also can maximize your greatness,

549
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: which I think he has, and he put together one

550
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: spectacular performance after another, and oh, by the way, it's

551
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: a rich dude by this point, I mean another forty

552
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: five million, you know, just to get in the door

553
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: here as is guaranteed money. If it wasn't for that

554
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: left hand injury, I think we would kind of say, look,

555
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: you know, there's things that we didn't love here. Didn't

556
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: love the lack of killer instinct, maybe without the being

557
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: able to hit with the jab left hook or left

558
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: hook to the body. It slowed him down, and maybe

559
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: to some degree, Canelo was like, Okay, Glovekin's always gonna

560
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: be tough and stubborn. He is coming out at the

561
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: end here, Let's just put this thing to bed hand injury.

562
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him that waiver. But as much as

563
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: none of us want to sit here and see a

564
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 1: forty year old triple G get beat up and stopped,

565
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: you know, or dropped for the first time in his career,

566
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: in some ways it's probably what should have happened, given

567
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: how flat he was in these first eight rounds, And

568
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that's anything you can argue or really

569
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: look past. It's wild. It was just as wild as

570
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: it was to see trouble g looking or sorry Canelo

571
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: look into Glovekin's eyes afterwards and say thank you so much,

572
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: my friend. We gave the fans three great fights. Thank

573
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: you for everything. Good to see that in the end.

574
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: But you know, not great when you talk yourself into

575
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: a big fight, in this case the cap stone on

576
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: a great rivalry and it want want, But that's what

577
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: we do on the you know, in this box game.

578
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: That that's why we uh, that's why we watched the

579
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: fights overall last couple of years. We're got a lot

580
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: of great ship the second half of this year coming up.

581
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: If we end up landing Spence Crawford, potential for Tank

582
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: Davis and Ryan Garcia, uh, Jake Anderstond, I mean, you know,

583
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: I mean there's you know, starting to line up. We

584
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: got a good year, We got a very good year

585
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: on paper. Here coming out here to close out the

586
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: second half of the year, I will want to see

587
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: how Canelo bounces back. If bev All gets through Zerdo Ramerez,

588
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, then you look to set up that matchup.

589
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: But now we ask ourselves what about glove Can At

590
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: forty after the fight, he was very very absolute about

591
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: the idea that guys, you know, still the champion. I'm

592
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: still the unified champion. He said he has three belts,

593
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: reality is he has two of the four recognized belts.

594
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: There's always a couple, okay, there's always a lot of

595
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: extra belts in boxing, not to mention how many unnecessary

596
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: ones the WBA and WBC float out there. Not to

597
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: mention all of those bullshit WBC like sinkle to MYO

598
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: belts that they float out. But there's the the IBO,

599
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: which sometimes pretends it's the fifth sanctioning belt, but it's not.

600
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: So Still glove can has two of four. Could he

601
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: still make big paydays like against the Jamal Charlow, you know,

602
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: for the unified middleway champion? Of course he could. Could

603
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: he win those though? I don't know, man. He sounded very,

604
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: very confident that he still has some unfinished business that

605
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: he's you know, whether that's the idea of just I

606
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: want to bank these paydays for my family and my future,

607
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: or whether the competitor inside of him is still thinking, Okay,

608
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: I lost to Canelo, but he's, you know, arguably the

609
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: best fighter in the world. I'm still a champion on

610
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: my own division. He'll certainly get the chance to try that.

611
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: But anyone that wants to fight Glovekin. That is, assuming

612
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: he's pasted it that the openings that would never have

613
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: been there in the past are going to be there.

614
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: They just have to watch this tape and see that

615
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: they will be. And that's no harm. There's no foul

616
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: on Glovekin. Maybe he you know, I tend to assume

617
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: that all my heroes are using in this modern era.

618
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: I think you should too. You know, we don't have

619
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: to be all Luke Thomas about it, but I think

620
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,479
Speaker 1: we should be waking up to that reality if somehow

621
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: Glovekin didn't. And this hard stance against Canelo for being

622
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: a cheater was pure and real. I mean, Glufkin's had

623
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: one of the most pure runs that we've ever seen,

624
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: and you know, just becoming an unlikely star and doing

625
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: it the right way and being dominant give you know,

626
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: there was a stretch there when he was with HBO,

627
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: and I thought they did it when they couldn't get

628
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,479
Speaker 1: him into big fights because Canelo was keeping him at

629
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: arms length. Coto was keeping him at arm's length. Sojio

630
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: Martinez wanted nothing to do with with Glovekin. It was

631
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: really hard to get him top level fights in his prime.

632
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't really get prime guys until the

633
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: very end, right when he's already thirty five, thirty six

634
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: fighting Danny Jacobs, fighting you know, Canelo twice. But I

635
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: always thought HBO did a great job. But just kip

636
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: me him active, and it did get to a point

637
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: and there was a small window there where Glovekin was

638
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson or even Ronda Rousey like where it suddenly

639
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,239
Speaker 1: didn't matter the opponent. He just wanted to see this

640
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: great professional go out there systematically break somebody down, knock

641
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: them the hell out, and then say those quirky broken

642
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: English catchphrases afterwards. He's had a great run. But proud

643
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: champions sometimes need to see and feel for themselves that

644
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: it's really over, and I do. I don't want to

645
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: say fear because even though Golovkin lost this fight handily,

646
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: he didn't ultimately take a beating, probably should have taken

647
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: a beating. And again, if it's Canelo's left hand injury

648
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: that prevented that, okay, But it's almost like fool's gold

649
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,959
Speaker 1: potentially in his mind, because he did activate a rally

650
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: in the end, gave him two of the four final rounds.

651
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: It seems these judges probably give him a lot more

652
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: than those, which doesn't make a ton of sense, but

653
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: you get my point. Does that talk the Noddy into

654
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: the idea that well, I've still got it. Well, if

655
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: he starts earlier and fights at the same pace he

656
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: didn't fights around, you know, in rounds nine through twelve,

657
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a much better chance. He would have

658
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: had a much better chance in this third fight if

659
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: he had done that. But I think in this matchup,

660
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: in the way that the two styles clashed, he was

661
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: getting countered so cleanly. It was very disappointing to see

662
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: him go in the other direction. And it plays into

663
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: that thing that Luke and I, Thomas and I played

664
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: up in the ahead of this fight, that says Gannatti

665
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: actually have that gear? Man, he is a killer when

666
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: he's moving downhill, But does he have that gear to

667
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: risk it all? As much as I liked his rally

668
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: through nine to twelve, I don't think he ever truly

669
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: risked at all. And maybe that creates a fool's gold

670
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: scenario mixed with Canelo's hand injury that glove can still

671
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: thinks he can go in there and not have to

672
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: necessarily go life or death on his chin to have

673
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: a chance to win it. But against somebody like a

674
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: Jamal Charlie, unless he can hurt them earlier, it's probably

675
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen to him. But great agent champions sometimes

676
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: have to find out for themselves and if that's where

677
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be, that's where it's gonna be. I mean,

678
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: maybe it's good that Gannati can go out without you know,

679
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: his face was blotchy, it was red in the early rounds.

680
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: It never really got worse, no cuts, not beat up

681
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: too bad, but yeah, a little bit of a flat

682
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: tire hair. But that's what happens in the box game.

683
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: There's a couple big fights. If connaught he was ever

684
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 1: interested in further going up to sixty eight. We know

685
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: the names that we that are there, and they could

686
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: certainly be potential opponents. But yeah, he's also got to

687
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: look in the mirror and as himself and his family

688
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: and look at the money he's made and ask himself

689
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: if it's worth it. Watch closely though, on Canelo's next performance.

690
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: On the next comeback, he says, you know, he doesn't

691
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: need anything else tune up wise, he wants to go

692
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: right into a be ball fight. I'm certainly going to

693
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: give him the benefit of the doubt that he can

694
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: make adapt adaptions and adjustments because he's done that in

695
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: his career, did that in the second fight with Glovekin.

696
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: But I want to see if we can see a

697
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: Canelo that has that killer rings thinging again, because it

698
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: wasn't there tonight, and uh, maybe feel by injury. I

699
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: don't think it was fuel by respect. But it's like

700
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: our greatest fear as a respector of Gnadi was to

701
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: see him get his ass kicked. Canelo should have kicked

702
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: his ass. I mean he should have. He probably should have.

703
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 1: Something something was holding back on his edge and hand injury,

704
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: but something else maybe too, that was just more looking

705
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: to Let's get to the finish line. He has been

706
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: running high and hard lately. Let's give him this time off.

707
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 1: Let's give him the surgery. But I will be looking

708
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: closely when Canelo gets back. And you say why as

709
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: a thirty two year old guy for the hill guy

710
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: who's still your Pomper pound KINGBC. No. But Canelo started

711
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: his career so early, turning pro at age fifteen. I

712
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: mean he had by the time he fought Floyd when

713
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: he was twenty three. I think he had like the

714
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: same amount of fights as a professional as Floyd did.

715
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy who, you know, like

716
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: a lot of young Mexican fires don't have an amateur cer.

717
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: Their amateur career is their first twenty five pro fights,

718
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 1: right like, they're just you know, sometimes that can aide

719
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 1: you a little bit earlier. It's just something to watch

720
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: with Canelo moving forward, also to watch separate from the

721
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: Bevall fight, which in theory would have to be a

722
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: de zone fight, as the first one was Demitri Bevall

723
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: promoted by Eddie Hern and matrim Sport under the dezone banner.

724
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: Will Canelo after that be looking to use that free agency.

725
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: Would he come to a PBC, which currently has deals

726
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: with you know, Fox and Showtime, but the Fox weren't

727
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: supposed to be ending this year. Would he come to

728
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: the PBC for a multi fight deal to fight the

729
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: Charlos and the benevetez as I love that. Would he

730
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: go to ESPN under the top rank banner and look

731
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: to fight big names, well, no one jumping through your

732
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: screen necessarily those weight classes at the moment, but you know,

733
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: not much bad despite me trying to that. You can

734
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 1: really say survive in advance for Canelo entering round eleven,

735
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: though that was rough. Triple G had thrown three hundred

736
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: fewer punches at that point at the start of round

737
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: eleven than he had in the second fight. If you're

738
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: looking one more time at the CompuBox, this fight for

739
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: Triple G attempted one twenty I'm sorry, attempted five to

740
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: twenty one, landed one twenty. In the second fight he

741
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: attempted nearly nine hundred and landed two hundred and thirty four.

742
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: So a little a little less than half or a

743
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: little more than half of the amount of punches landed

744
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: and nearly double the amount of punch is less attempted

745
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: compared to that. So there you have it for still

746
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: with me. I appreciate that We are Morning Combat every Monday,

750
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: Monday morning to recap the weekend that was the fallout

751
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: from Glove Canelo three. Everything you need to see and

752
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: hear from what went on in UFC fight night in

753
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. How about Corey Sanagan? Right? How about everybody

754
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 1: getting cut up like shit right there? All right, damn,

755
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: that was brutal. I'm gonna sign off for the night,

756
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: all right. Oh, one one final thing here. I think

757
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: I do have those scorecards. Shout out to my producer,

758
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: Mikey Mormal for hitting me up. Here we go right here.

759
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: The last four rounds, as I mentioned, I thought clearly

760
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: it was a four round rally for glove can Judge

761
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: Dave Murretty, who had eight rounds to four, he split

762
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: those rounds. He ultimately gave Canelo rounds nine and eleven,

763
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 1: which is exactly what I did, and he gave triple

764
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: G rounds ten and twelve. The round that he differed

765
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: from me was six that he gave to Glovekin. So

766
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: that's eight rounds to four. Let's see Steve Wisefeld, who

767
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: had it seven rounds to five. He gave triple G

768
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: the final three rounds ten through twelve, scoring round nine

769
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: for Alvarez, but he scored round eight and round one

770
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: for Ganadi Glofkin. And now again I don't see how

771
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: you can do that, even round one, which was slow paced,

772
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: patient and ultimately a close ish round. Clearly Alvarez landed

773
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: the better shot, says Glofkin really wasn't thrown much, was reading,

774
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: but was step behind that whole way. As we look

775
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: at the scorecard of David Sutherland, who's out of Oklahoma,

776
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 1: He's done some big fights in the last two years,

777
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: but this is really his big close up opportunity in

778
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. For the most part. He also gave round

779
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 1: one a very slow round to Godani Glovekin. He gave

780
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 1: Glofkin eight nine to ten. I'm sorry, eight, nine, eleven

781
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: and twelve good lord. So as you can see, as

782
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 1: I mentioned it earlier, they're giving him the extreme benefit

783
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: of the doubt in this one. I will always defend

784
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: judges to a certain degree and say, look, you know,

785
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: when we're sitting at home, drinking our beer and we're

786
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: kind of scoring off the top of our head but

787
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: not really committing. We're distracted by different things, texting our friends.

788
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: They are sitting on an island, they are watching which

789
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: fighters walking the other one down. They can see better

790
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: than we can the impact of the punches that in

791
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: a close fight a lot of times can defend why

792
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 1: a guy might be two rounds in a different direction.

793
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: And you know, you got to ask yourself, if you

794
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: remove all of those other factors and it's just you

795
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: sitting on that apron where sometimes the referees back can

796
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: get in the way or what have you, could it

797
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: be a little different. It could be a little different.

798
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,439
Speaker 1: This is way different in this fight seven to five.

799
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: You kidd me. I had attended to and I thought

800
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: I was being a little generous, a little generous saying

801
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: all right, am I rewarding Triple G for having a

802
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: pulse finally? Or is he actually having success? There you go.

803
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, BC is going to
