Transcribed
I see them in the shadows.
What’S up everybody? Sorry we’re a few minutes late, um! It’S a girl, no mercy here, it’s Tuesday night! So you already know what time it is.
It’S time for no punches pulled with no mercy uh.
Some of you may already know who I am some of you that don’t um, I am your host Brooke Millbrook, now um, you may know me formally as my fight name Brooke no mercy deardorff.
I am a retired professional boxer.
I held the WBC International lightweight title until I retired um bought all the top best of the best out there and just got inducted into the international women’s Boxing Hall of Fame last year.
So that’s the highlight of it all for me.
Um, I’ve definitely been through some good, bad and Bs in this sport of boxing.
This is my platform.
Welcome um so on here we’re going to talk to Pioneers past present future uh boxers and it’s going to be we’re going to talk, talk and walk the walk and we’re gon na get to the truth.
Um.
So, as you saw, the name of today’s show, uh was one on one with Sonia drilling.
The truth shall set you free um.
Unfortunately, Sonia is the reason we are late here today, because she decided to uh respond to my text.
After speaking this morning saying she was ready to go when she didn’t come on on time and said she wasn’t coming on the show she sent me a really nice email.
So since I was going to have Sonia on here to talk about her career, give her some publicity, since she had recently just fought six-time World Champion Chevelle Vista Steele hallback, it was a big controversy decision.
Everybody knows that.
I made that very clear right.
After the fight, when I posted on all my platforms that I thought it was a robbery and it was [ __ ], if you guys watched the fight, I’m sure you thought that that’s the same thing, but I was gon na have Sonia on to give her Side of the story and tell us how she felt about the decision, but since she wanted to be a coward and back out, I had a surprise guest.
We were going to bring on so we’ll just bring her on now and then I’ll read the email and we’ll just talk with bring her on in Chevelle.
Fist is still Hall back.
What’S up Chevy come on what’s going on girl, so you’re uh, your opponent got a little scared.
I guess I mean what kind of blowed about it like I’m speechless about it.
Like I really don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know either because we talked all week we had it all set up.
I talked to her this morning, we’re sitting here waiting for her to come on the show.
I send her a text and call her and she replies she sent me an email um at I don’t even 7 33, so she was already late for the show.
So let’s just read the email and then you can tell me what you think about the email.
What’S up women’s boxing panel, thank you for tuning in um, our special guest Sonia drelling, chickened out so she’s not joining us today.
I was gon na be nice, but now I’m gon na not you’re gon na get the No Mercy side of me today, because now she’s got me really upset so yeah Sonia, since you want to send it out and not join us.
I’M sure you’re watching us live right now, so I’m just going to share with everybody why you chickened out.
Unfortunately, after being advised of a few statements made and posted about your views on my last fight, I will not be attending your show.
I will not engage in trash talking.
I’M sorry.
You feel that way about the decision we fought.
We fought in a neutral state, zero bias.
I was definitely the underdog, don’t let your emotions become.
You don’t be a Karen of the boxing world because I’m a Karen.
Now you know this is a very wise saying that can be applied to a lot of situations in life.
Mind your own business [, __ ] is lucky, I’m not fighting anymore because I wouldn’t have took it easy on your ass.
Like Chevy.
Did I’m not nice? Uh ask yourself if this affected you or your family personally or financially with that being said, I will not be manipulated or used to promote your Ambitions or goals on your show.
You did not support me, so I have no time to support you.
It was just a boxing match.
Well it ain’t just a boxing match.
I don’t think Chevy thought it was just a damn boxing match, but okay, we’re gon na keep reading because she’s got me so pissed off right now.
Let me find out where I was at um uh.
It was a cherry event for positive things, win or lose.
I was there to empower women and young Fighters and to raise money for Starving Children and the community.
I wish you would have took the time to come on the show and tell us that [ __ ], the main reason I took the fight was because it was for a charity.
Trust me: the pay.
Wasn’T there well the [ __ ] wasn’t there for me either, so I don’t use that as an excuse to discredit my accomplishments or tarnish what I stand for and respect is pure jealousy and envy.
So now I’m jealous of her the only person she [, __ ] fought was Chevelle.
Ain’T fought nobody else, so I don’t want to hear that [ __ ].
If Chevelle, has a problem with me personally, then she can reach out to me.
Thank you for your offer, but no thanks! So Sonia I was gon na be nice, but I’m not now so now the normal world knows why you chickened your ass out, because you didn’t want to come on here and defend yourself, because that whole [ __ ] world knows that it was [.
__ ].
You could smell the [ __ ] from the time they got the damn scorecards put in their hand, and on top of that, your ass knew you lost, because you could see it all over your face.
You couldn’t even talk, but you didn’t want to come on here and give us your side of the story.
So everybody now knows that you know for a fact: you lost the [ __ ] Chevy.
What do you think about the email? I’M I’m sorry that this has happened um.
You know, I think at all times, no matter whatever the situation may be.
We should try to stay professional at all times and if she had already agreed to come onto the show to speak with you, I mean you know.
While I follow through with that, I don’t.
I don’t understand by having her on the show, telling her side of it or just telling her telling the people about herself period, how? How is how would you, how is you using her like doing that? You know exactly.
I don’t get that far um if she feels some kind of way, because you know you’re talking about your opinion that you feel that the fight you know was should have went my way and that it was you know a robbery, that’s your opinion and everybody is Entitled to their opinion, when you’re on the platform that you talk about things like that, you know um, some people gon na agree with you or something we’re gon na disagree with you, but that’s what you do now.
This is the platform you know, and we should be able to come together right, a good people to disagree.
We should be able to come together and give them please and how we feel about whatever situation may be um without feeling that a person is trying to do whatever manipulate or trying to do whatever up under their sleeve.
You know what I’m saying so I hate that she feels that way: um because Brookview, a very good friend of mine, I’ve known you for years, yeah you’re, not that type of person at all.
No, it wasn’t even going to be that way.
Like literally, I had a whole list of questions to ask her about her career.
How you got into boxing like what made you go to boxing.
Did you know what was your best fight like? Who was your Inspirations like? What’S your goals like? What’S the future like there were, the whole show was literally going to be about her.
I was gon na bring you in and talk about, the fight for, like the last 10 minutes of the show, so it the whole show was to get it was.
That would have been huge publicity for her.
If anybody knows who I am, I don’t yeah I mean I, I am no mercy, I will talk [ __ ] and I will give my opinion, but the whole world gives their opinion.
I was not the only person that thought it was a controversial decision, so you would think, since it was called out by a ton of people, she would have wanted to come on and give her side of the story or how she felt about it.
So it would have been huge publicity for her right coming on my show talking about it being about it, and it’s not just a fight Sonia I’m sorry, but if you’re a real fighter, every fight means something it’s not.
Oh, it was just a loss.
No like that [ __ ] hurts, if you’re a true fighter whether you wanted or you didn’t, really win it and you got the win or you got whatever it’s.
This is our life’s like this was everything for us, maybe not for you, but I know for Chevelle.
Her whole life is boxing, so I’m pretty sure that that [ __ ] decision affected her emotionally so you’re, nothing but a coward.
I’M sorry! I was gon na be nice, but I’m not nice.
Now Chevelle will hold back.
You pissed me off, so you are nothing but a coward.
I’M sorry! But if you got any balls in there you need to give Chevelle a rematch and FYI.
I hope the damn commission overturns the decision and you get the damn loss that you deserve, I’m so pissed that she didn’t come on right now.
It’S not even funny oh Linda said, but you know, but personally I have nothing against there.
I actually think that she’s um awesome person, wonderful person, um, you know what happened in that ring or shall I say what happened after we fought in that League.
You know it didn’t have any you know she didn’t have anything to do with that.
You know.
No.
You know she came to do a job, you know and and um you know she fought a good fight to her calendar.
You know what I’m saying um you know and, like I told her after the fight, you know she claimed it to me.
You know – and she really gave me a lot of Praise this – would be the person that I am um.
She thanked me for giving her the opportunity you know to be in the ring with you.
You know we talked for a little minute and I told you yeah each and every fight, I think serious um, and that sometimes you know, even though going into the fight.
She was an underdog and I actually like being an underdog.
When I fight you know, because when you’re the underdog people already expect me to lose people not expecting you know, for you to come up and talk, and that happens, you surprised everybody, but I don’t quite like not being the underdog or whatever the case may be, And then some people would take, you know the person, that’s the underdog, they’ll take them lightly, you know or whatever the case will be, and I don’t take any bite lightly or like I was telling her.
You know, even though you know at the end of the day, if I was given to her, so I told him to hold on to her.
You know gravity because you know people might be coming for you.
You know this might have set up an opportunity for you to really get something to a Payday or whatever the case may be um.
I know she didn’t get paid well for this fight.
I mean not to fight for running my caliber and I’ll stay there, because you know I was the one that paid her purse um.
You know I hadn’t bought, I think in a year and before that particular thing I was in the rankings.
I was ranked pretty hard with all the station bodies and plus um box track.
Had me won and then it started dropping you know.
Wpc had me ranked number one after my fight before so after not fighting for a year, BoxRec kicked me out of the ranking.
I still was in the ranking with the other stationary bodies, but a boxer and in order to get back into their link, if I had to get a fight, you know, and I reached out to there was numerous writers that I reached out to they’re, trying to Get in like this particular promoter that was in South Dakota he reached out and said: hey you got a car coming up.
Would you like to be on the car but stipulations I had to pay for my phone coming in.
You know we um, you know, plus you know my team and everything.
Those are pretty penny that I had to pay or whatever the thing would be to to get there and be wrong um.
If you beat me, you beat me, you know what I’m saying, but don’t take it away right.
Don’T don’t do that! You know what I’m saying I had to.
You know issue a a real, pretty penny, but that’s what I fight alone.
You know, and so you know, like I said, you’re gon na leave me that’s cool.
I have no problem with that.
If you beat me right, okay, but don’t but don’t don’t rob me in such a way.
You know what I’m saying that you just it feels like rape.
You know right.
I say that because you know around round three alone.
She did not like no round three.
She did touch me around five.
She didn’t touch me not one time now.
Could I have been more active, of course.
Could I have done more? Of course you understand, but at the same time you know – and it wasn’t going around where I touched her 10 unanswered can’t unanswered times, and they gave her that right, one judge gave her every one of every round.
I mean it was like aside from the one for you, the other two were like completely her.
I think the other one was like 50, 59, 50, 58, 56 or 50.
.
It was like yeah, one judge.
Yeah every round is level one yes and then the other judge gave me four months yeah, which was accurate.
That was the only accurate scorecard because, okay, so for everybody, that’s joining us.
Today, Chevelle was going to be my special special special guest, so she was going to come in towards the end of my show with Sonia, and we were just going to discuss possibly of a rematch um Chevelle is um petitioning to get it overturned with the commission.
We were going to discuss that.
I don’t know if she knew that um, but she is working on getting it overturned um.
She is fighting it um.
We were going to talk about that, but Chevelle is going to be here for a brief moment.
I’M gon na have Chevelle on again because I wasn’t prepared to do a full Chevelle show, because Chevelle – and I have been very, very close God since, like 2000 and 2008, seven or something like that, when we met at an all-female card in California, was the first Time we met, and I I can understand where she came from with that, because Chevelle could probably tell you, but the first time I met Chevelle like I looked up to Chevelle like she was like my like.
That was who I looked up to in women’s boxing.
So, even though I don’t have the same fight style, I just loved everything about Chevelle, but so when I first met her, I couldn’t even really talk.
I was just like hey.
What’S up, I was like all giddy like a little kid meeting a superstar and we were fighting on the same freaking card um.
She was fine, Terry Blair on that card, right um, so I’ve known Chevelle for a very long time we’re very close she’s.
I consider her family um, but I was not biased, so everybody understands when I was scoring the fight.
I called Chevelle immediately afterwards and I said what the [ __ ] happened because I gave round one everybody.
I don’t know if everybody’s seen it it’s on YouTube.
Now, if you have not seen the fight go, watch the fight, but round one could have went either way.
It was literally a feeling out round.
It was 100.
Even if you asked me, it was a feeling out round round.
Two Sonia did take it to her.
A little bit Chevy was getting the ring rust off okay, so it’s on YouTube three, through six literally, she might have touched her six times in the whole rest of the fight, because Chevy was doing Chevy’s Shuffle that’s what I call it the Chevy Shuffle and the No look so Yari knew she was comfortable because she only does that when she’s comfortable, so the girl wasn’t touching her, she was throwing punches now, don’t get me wrong, she was punching, but she was Debbie was buffing and weaving and countering should she have thrown more Counterpunches I told her: yes, she should have been more active and she wasn’t tired.
She could have been more active, but I was very honest and I’m not biased.
I spoke to many people after that watched the fight and they all sported the same as me.
So not being biased because shove his family to me, as that said, it is what it is um.
Let’S see we got um what’s up Mike.
So, let’s see we got women’s Boxing Channel in here, Brooke don’t hold back, I 100 will not be holding back since she just told me.
I was jealous and mind my own business.
That makes me tempted to come out of retirement, so I can fight her because I will whoop her ass.
I won’t took it easy.
Chevy didn’t want to hurt the girl, I’m not that way.
Uh Chevy called out Jonas ninth of 2022 Jonas reply was see next post.
He says the next post Mike says: hey Michael Oher.
She has nothing I want so she is irrelevant to where I’m trying to go and what I’m trying to achieve.
I can’t see myself boxing at 50.
.
I know I’m on limited time.
She offers me nothing continue next post.
If I ever feel the need to fight a legend, it would be braces.
Chevy then replied, but you will fight a 2-11 fighter.
Why? Oh because you needed money, oh okay, LOL! Is this what you you guys going back and forth on Twitter right, but you never ran from anyone except the one me LOL.
You are the one I already read that it posted it twice.
So, Jonas, you want to fight.
Jonas Jonas clearly is not going to fight you, that’s just a Twitter.
Nobody will fight Chevy, let’s not even put that out on just Jonas.
Nobody will fight her.
Nobody wants to fight Chevy, even at 50, you’re still a threat, Chevy Jesus, Lord yeah, okay, girl.
You don’t look a day over like 35.
, so yeah um.
I don’t even know what to say about the Sonia thing: um we’re just.
I guess gon na just move on we’re gon na just talk about.
I don’t know whatever everybody wants to talk about, because she threw me off, because I literally had like a three out girl Sonia look.
You see all my little freaking notes.
These are all questions.
I was gon na ask your freaking ass before Chevelle even came on the freaking show, so it was literally going to be all about you and then I was just going to ask you what you thought about the decision.
But now I don’t like you it’s personal, because that is a that is a [, __, ] move to say You’re Gon na Go on something like Chevelle said she didn’t say those words.
So that’s not in quotation.
But if you say you’re gon na do something.
It’S totally unprofessional to back out even talk to you this morning, and you said you were good to go just to make sure I didn’t need to rearrange something.
I talked to you this morning, um, but that’s total [, __ ] move to not even you weren’t.
Even gon na, actually, if I wouldn’t have called or texted your ass, you wouldn’t even have told me you weren’t, coming that’s a [, __ ] move.
I hope you I, let’s just I’m gon na leave it at that.
That’S a [ __ ] move, because if I say what I really feel the show will probably get flagged, so I’m gon na leave it at that uh.
What do we got over here? Mike Chevy? You plan out plan out.
Oh so, okay um, we got ta, go back Dusty, Montford, says great information.
Thank you, Dusty um Sonia was supposed to be here with us today.
She is a coward uh women’s Boxing Channel.
I supported Chevy on that and Jonas trolled me bad for it LOL.
So he was picking up for you apparently and Jonas was talking trash uh, Michael Orr says you plain out: got robbed on the Sonia fight was hoping, drelling would have showed up.
Yeah me too Mike.
She literally, I talked to her this morning Mike and she said she was good to go.
Everything was good.
I sent her the damn link.
I sent her a message said: hey make sure you got the link good to go.
7 30 rolls around 7 35 rolls around she’s still not in here.
So I text her no response, I call I get voicemail.
Then she texts me.
I sent you an email.
Sorry, I’m not coming were you in here Mike when, when I read the email that she sent me were you in here, I need to know because if not, we might need to go back over a few of the uh sentences.
She had me so pissed off when I was talking to Eric in the background.
You know how, when somebody says something – and you immediately go from like calm and Collective to like 5 000 pissed off and your face is red and you’re like you want to hurt.
Somebody um, and you start shaking that’s how pissed I was when I was reading her email.
I had to wait five minutes before I could get on, because otherwise y’all would have seen me like ready to fight somebody.
No you weren’t on when I okay Mike for you.
I don’t know if women’s boxing, if you were here or not or or dusty, but I will read it one more time for y’all so that you know what she said to me, I’m so like! Oh, it’s got me hot.
Yes, I know that feeling very well.
Okay.
She says at 7, 33 is when I got the email.
Actually that’s what she said.
I didn’t get it then, because it was after that when I called her.
Unfortunately, after being advised of a few statements made and posted about your views on my last fight, I will not be attending your show.
First of all, I don’t even see why that matters like what I thought of the fight, because everybody has an opinion.
Everybody feels a type of way on any fight for that matter.
If you’re a fight fan whether you thought somebody got screwed or not, you could smell the [ __ ].
Okay, let me okay, let me finish.
Reading this and then I’ll go into why you could smell the [ __ ] before it even happened.
If anybody didn’t see the fight uh, I’m sorry, you feel that way about the decision we fought.
We fought in a neutral state, zero bias.
I was definitely the underdog well, that’s because you’re, five and three and you fought Chevelle, obviously you’re the freaking Underdog Jesus Lord.
I bet you weren’t the underdog in your other [ __, ], seven fights when you didn’t fight anybody.
Ah, don’t let your emotions become you.
Well, they’re definitely me now, because you made it personal, then she called me a Karen, don’t be a Karen of the boxing world, don’t be a [ __ ] and not show up when you say you’re coming how about that? One she’s got me so mad Chevy, [ Laughter ].
There is a very wise saying that can be applied to a lot of situations in life.
Mind your own business.
Well, um! Sorry, if you’re not new to boxing pretty much, everybody gives you their opinion and puts their business in your business.
So maybe you’re just too new and you haven’t felt that yet.
But I know a whole lot of people that didn’t even fight or never even been in the ring put their dang words in my business when I was fighting, I’m sure Chevy’s had a whole lot of people.
Stick their foot in her business.
That didn’t know.
[ __ ], so don’t tell me to mind my business that wasn’t a good look ask yourself: if this affected you or your family personally or financially, no, it did not, but it sure the hell affected the damn boxing world, because Chevelle got robbed, didn’t affect me Personally, actually it did affect me personally, because I was disappointed in boxing once again with the [ __ ] robbery, because they happen all the time so yeah it did affect me personally.
I was upset because uh a fighter that deserved the win got, robbed I’ve been there many times so yeah.
I was affected personally as a matter of fact not financially, but emotionally with that being said, I will not be manipulated.
First of all, how can I manipulate you? I don’t know how having someone on my show to give them.
You know some air time and for people to people know me Sonia.
Don’T nobody know you? They only know your name now, because you fought Chevelle.
So I was just giving you some more publicity.
People know who I am.
Ah you do not support me, so I have no time to support you.
Well, that’s just fine.
I can support myself.
It’S way it was just a boxing match which absolutely was not.
I don’t think you should fight anymore, because if that’s how you feel you’re not a fighter, it was a charity event for positive things, win or lose.
I was there to empower women and young Fighters, which you did not do because you didn’t even show up so now.
You just disappointed all those kids who thought you were going to be on the show, and you we’re a ghost you ghosted me.
You didn’t show up, so no you didn’t Empower anybody.
You just told them that it’s okay to be a quitter and not stand up for yourself.
So no you didn’t win or lose.
I was there doing.
Oh, I already read that the main reason I took the fight was because it was for charity great, for you, we’ve all been there.
Trust me, the pay.
Wasn’T there yep been there too uh to discredit my accomplishments or tarnish.
What I stand for and represent is pure jealousy and envy.
I don’t know how I can be jealous of somebody who wasn’t even known before they fought Chevelle.
I don’t know how that’s possible.
How can I be jealous of her? I don’t I’m so lost right now, Sonia you freaking threw me for a loop, because how can I be jealous of you when literally I had never heard of you before you fought Chevelle, not sure how that works, but okay, if that makes you sleep at night, If Chevelle has a problem with me personally, then she can reach out.
She doesn’t have a problem with you.
Personally, we have, and I don’t have a problem with you personally now I do because you told me you were coming to the show.
I didn’t have a backup show planned and I talked to you literally this morning and you said you were good to go and then literally when you’re five minutes late, I call and text you and you send me a freaking email saying you’re not coming.
You could have told me that [ __ ] this morning, so I could have planned and had a backup plan for the show it is totally Bad Business to tell somebody you’re gon na, come on and do an interview, regardless of what you think I haven’t done.
Interviews that I didn’t want to do before they asked me questions I didn’t want to be freaking asked before or made me feel uncomfortable.
I’M sure Chevelle has been asked, questions that made her feel uncomfortable, but she freaking showed up and answered them because she said she was coming: total [, __, ] and total.
That is like [, __ ] is what that is.
That’S what she had to say Mike.
So let me know what you think about that uh we got ta go back down Chevy and read some of these comments.
I just figured out how to read a comment like dude.
That’S right, okay, so, okay, we got ta see I read that um uh.
Are we gon na okay? So are we gon na see you soon? I know it’s tough to get fights in USA and that pisses me off um Chevy is supposed to fight.
I know in March right.
Are you supposed to fight it much much? That’S that’s! What they’re, talking about right now and in New Mexico, is that the one for that tournament thing that um Laura Ramsey doing yeah! That’S good they’re working on that! Now, okay, that’s for March! Or do you have something else in March? No, I don’t know, that’s the only thing, that’s the only thing right now: okay um, he said I said to Jonas.
Never said you didn’t have a belt.
Did obanov have a belt when Jonas gave her a shot for the WBA international title.
I said no, you call at Chevelle hallback irrelevant, yet you got your International bout from uh, you Downer and defended it on all your six underwinds and you chucked Tau in just defending Chevelle on facts which, if any okay, so I’ve learned already just from watching the Sugar show um in my last shows that women’s Boxing Channel definitely speaks facts.
He doesn’t speak without having facts, so he likes to check people sometimes, but that’s good, because sometimes we have our facts wrong.
He definitely knows his facts.
Uh Mike says wow sounds like you.
Should jump in the ring with her Brooke, you know what I would fight that [ __ ] tomorrow: no training, because that’s how upset she has me, she wouldn’t go more than around um.
Then women’s Boxing Channel says then Chevy said this to me, which meant everything to me: lol, love it facts.
Thank you for your support.
Everybody loves your support.
Women’S Boxing Channel Michael Orr says that’s the only time I heard about her facts.
Thank you Mike me too, because uh I had never heard her name until I asked Chevy.
Who are you fighting? She said Sonia drilling or drying.
I don’t even know which way you say it, but I said who who was that she knew she must be.
Oh, no because I’ve never heard of her so Sonia, you need to be thinking, you’re, uh, p’s and q’s over there, but I uh.
I really really hope the commission overturns this fight because you don’t deserve [ __ ] right now.
You can’t even keep your word.
Your word is [ __ ], um Chevelle, you know me, I mean I tell it like it is.
You want to tell it like it is, but you you you hold back because I know you can be that way.
I’Ve seen it I’ve seen it.
You can be that way and I try really hard not to disrespect people unless they disrespect me, but she totally disrespected me like that was so shitty like she could have told me this morning.
Hey I’ve changed my mind.
I don’t want to do the show anymore, that would at least gave me half a day to come up with something else that is true, you’re gon na wait until after I call you because the show’s already freaking started and tell me I changed my mind because You didn’t think I won the fight [ __ ].
Nobody thought you won the fight, you’re [ __ ] lost Jesus.
You know it stop.
Trying to pretend like you didn’t.
You got handed a gift early, merry Christmas early, because your ass didn’t win the fight, so they gifted you.
I had uh okay before I read the rest of these comments.
So here is the thing with how everybody knew that the that there was [ __ ] coming before the [ __ ] actually came out.
I don’t know if you guys bought the fight and watched the fight or, if, since have watched it on, I know Chevelle posted it on YouTube.
If you have went and watched it since then go fight watch it on YouTube.
If you have not seen it, but anybody who is a true boxing fan a boxer or has boxed or whatever nose boxing already knew.
There was going to be [, __ ], because as soon as the bell rang at the end of the sixth round Fighters, go back to their Corners, okay, we’re taking off the gloves.
It literally took almost five minutes before they read the decision in that five minute time period, which is asinine for it.
Take that long to read a decision like you’re literally Ray go to sleep because the shit’s been done it’s over, but while we’re waiting for all of this, the the ring announcer, the kind of guy – that’s you know, ring announcer, I’m so flustered, I’m like can’t even Think of what he’s called ring.
Announcer gets the judges scorecards right he’s over in the corner.
Getting everybody’s scorecards he’s looking at the scorecards he’s slipping through them.
He looks back at the freaking judges and he literally just stares at the cards.
Then he walks over to the dirty ass promoter and is Whispering to the promoter and pointing at the cards now they’re Whispering back and forth.
Looking at the scorecards, then they stand there and talk for a minute.
Then he goes back to the freaking corner and talks to the judges and he’s like hey probably like.
Are you sure this [ __ ] is right? Because you want me to read this out loud, it’s probably what he was saying over in the corner.
So he stands there and talks to them.
For a few minutes, then comes back talk to the damn promoter.
Again it literally.
If you go watch the fight, it was like four and a half minutes or something almost five minutes before he read the decision.
They gave Chevelle one round four to two and he gave Sonia all six rounds on one score card and five of the six rounds on another scorecard.
So here’s the funny thing Chevy when I was watching the fight live, so I was recording the fight like I.
I didn’t record the whole thing but, like I was recording like the last, I don’t know round or two just because I was going to send it to you [ __ ].
I was so mad when they read the decision.
I [ __ ] deleted through my phone because I was like I’m not sending her this bull.
She don’t want this.
No we’re gon na do this, but as soon as they started doing that you could already smell [ __ ], coming like you already knew something totally.
Effed up was gon na happen because it took so long and they literally were Whispering about the scorecards.
He kept going back and forth from the promoter to the judges because he knew it was wrong, then, to top it all off after they read the decision.
The commentators come on and talk for, like five minutes about how big of a robbery it was, they made a bad decision, so they said Sonia was a nice girl like she comes to fight like she gave her her all, but she did not win that fight And they went on and on about how Chevelle got rocked so Sonia, I’m not the only one who felt that way.
Clearly, both of the commentators felt that way and the ring announcer.
So I mean it was put on W band.
If you follow W band like everybody else, I mean they shared my post immediately after I posted it was a robbery they shared it on W band.
So you knew way before today, at 8 30 Eastern Standard time, when you were supposed to air live on my show that I felt you lost the fight.
It was not a surprise.
I posted it everywhere that there was a robbery in boxing, but I still was gon na make the show all about you literally I’m not that type of person until you cross me wrong, which is what happened today, so I hope everybody’s enjoying being flustered and upset Today, on my and then to top it all off, this was my first show by myself.
This was my.
This was my first Kick It Off by myself, show without Michael on with me, you’re doing a great job thanks.
I know you’re laughing at me, but you agree with me: you’re not going to say it because you don’t want to be.
You don’t want that.
But I know you agree with what I’m saying it was [ __ ] that she didn’t come on the show she already said: it’s that’s totally unprofessional like you book something you say you’re going to be there.
You should be there like.
That’S crap all right all right, let’s see what else we got over here um.
I think I read that yeah uh Sonia’s dried up.
She was dried up before she hadn’t even Farm anybody.
Uh women’s boxing stainless sonja’s, dried up, Eddie Barrington.
Thanks for joining us.
He said haha dried up.
She hadn’t even fought anybody before Chevelle.
She was literally an unknown and she will be unknown after Chevelle, because I don’t I mean who is she gon na? She can’t beat any top fighter.
Sorry Sonia, but you can’t so you might as well just stay back there with the people that don’t have experience that you’ve been fighting before Chevelle, because if you fight anybody, that’s even remotely up in the rankings.
You’Re gon na get your ass whooped because they’re not going to take it easy on.
You Chevy took it easy on you because she didn’t want to hurt you because you’re a baby, that’s what she does and I can tell you that for a fact, because she’s done it before having to Chevy, don’t you I have, and I you know, and I Said numerous times I could do one particular fight.
I’M like you know what I’m never gon na hold back again.
I thought I thought I learned my lesson, but apparently I did you got ta.
Stop that! Oh trust, you got ta, stop that trust me you’re.
Giving up you’re done now right, no more holding back, give an opportunity to get back in that ring.
You’Re gon na go all out.
Are we going to see that we’re going to see the 20 25 year old Chevy? That’S what I want to see.
You can still do the slipping in the bobbin and the weaving in the counter, but you came back with like four or five counter punches, not just one or two I did and then when, when you hit him with a good one, you jumped on their ass And you got him out of there and you were not winded at all in that fight like you are not even breathing heavy at all in between rounds, so you could easily do that now that you got the ring Ross off when you get your butt back In there I want to see the 25 year old Chevy with them five six punch combinations and when you hurt them, knock them out of there get them out of there.
We go not even let it go to the damn judges.
You already know it’s against us.
Anyways, when you get older they want they ready for someone else to come.
Take over here.
But, yes, you have uh.
I was extremely disappointed and when Melissa Hernandez, I love you love you girl, but I was really that fight through me because you pulled back so bad in that fight.
I was very disappointed in that one that one hurt me like to my to my soul.
When I watched that one, because I was like what and don’t get me wrong, I love Melissa Hernandez to death like like.
We cool love, her to death, both great great Fighters but Chevy, uh, head or hurt and didn’t want to hurt her because they were friends.
So she pulled back like 95 pulled back on that fight because she could have stopped her, no only only in the first only the first four rounds after the fourth round.
You know what I’m saying they became a very entertaining fight.
You know, but she got into her groove, you know and we started doing.
I think we got.
We got similar Style, you do got similar stale Styles, but you’re way more powerful.
Yes, I I have, I will agree, and I think she would read it on that.
As well that I got a little more power than she has um and, like I said the first four around you know, but what’s wrong was it when you was it? The second round that you heard her um I wanted to? It was either the second of the fifth second or the third round, but I mean you had her hurt in the bell rang.
Otherwise she’d have been done, but then, after that is when you you pulled back and even the rest of the fight, it was very, it was an entertaining fight because y’all went back and forth, but you let it go that way.
You let it go that way.
Don’T play with me, I know you know she knows what she knows.
You didn’t want to hurt her, but it was a good fight.
It was a very entertaining fight and I love Melissa to death, but we have fun at fighting and we have fun doing the fight.
We have fun after the fight too.
Oh, I bet yeah.
She is.
She is crazy, she’s, my kind of girl she’s.
Definitely my kind of girl but uh yeah, no yeah, so we’ll just leave it with that.
So, let’s see Mike says WBC dried up, I’m dying! Well there she wasn’t ever.
What’S what’s the metaphor, I can use she’s not dried up because she never was wrong out.
Like she never had, she never started.
So how do you dry out when you hadn’t even started yet? Who is judging the fight? The Three Blind Mice Mike? I could tell you the judges, let’s see who are the judges um Mike Contreras, John clemiato and Jeff Senate.
I don’t know any of them.
I’Ve never heard of any of them anyway, but it was a small venue.
I, wherever it was Sox, Falls or something Sioux Falls.
Um women’s Boxing Channel says bet you a million pounds sonja’s watching this.
I can a hundred percent guarantee.
You that Sonia is watching this Sonia.
If you’re watching this, I just texted you and called you from my personal cell.
You also have my email feel free to respond.
I will I will happily share whatever else you have to say to my viewers, I mean the show was going to be all about you and your boxing career and literally the last 10 minutes was going to be talking about the controversial decision I mean you are Going to get some serious Spotlight here not now I don’t.
I don’t know what to say: um guaranteed yeah.
I know she’s watching, send me a text.
Send me an email since you’re you’re good at emailing.
Send me an email, I’ll share your thoughts with the viewers.
They want to know inquiring minds want to know why you chickened out and didn’t show up uh.
She lost her last three before Chevy yeah.
Let’S look, I had her pulled up um.
She fought a Cara Wiggins in her Pro debut 1-0, a Jordan Garcia from Albuquerque uh won; 4-0; second fight third fight; oh four and one Kayla Williams, uh, fourth, fight Latasha Burton 4 and 13.
.
Well, I mean you should have won those uh, then okay, here’s where it gets interesting exactly.
I didn’t even really look into this before I went on um her record because I wasn’t really going to go over all that I was going to let her go over.
All of that, but here’s my point um loud and clear, exactly what I said if you step up in the ranks and start fighting anybody with experience, you’re gon na get your ass handed to you and here’s exactly why she won her first four.
I just told you their records, which records are deceiving in women’s boxings.
Don’T get me wrong, but she jumped up to a girl that was eight no lost.
Next fight girl was 10-0 lost.
Next fight, she fought a debuter lost.
Next fight was Chevelle, [ __ ].
You lost and it’s going to be overturned.
I really really hope that the mission comes through on this one and overturns it um.
Let’S see she lost her Holly or Miller and Jones yeah.
I know I know their names yeah.
Oh well, yeah.
I I see that now Mike, but I went and looked because I already had her box wreck pulled up for the show.
Uh women’s Boxing Channel says Chev been in with Riker Holly Holmes break us.
I could name her whole dang record.
I don’t even have to look uh Holly Holmes, brachis Hernandez, Miriam Lamar, Layla, McCarter, there’s more um, there’s more um.
So speaking of robberies, I’ve been robbed, Chevelle’s been robbed many times.
Do you wan na? Do you wan na tell us which fights um that he’s talking about here that were that you were robbed in or you feel you were Robin your opinion uh, like Riker, you can’t even count that Chevelle.
That was like your second fight or wasn’t it no Riker Rock was like my favorite bike yeah.
She was like your second fight, so that Rocco beat me.
Yeah beat me the first time yeah not in the rematch.
Um Breakers did not beat me.
No Miriam Lamar you’re, not now.
I agree, those are the only ones.
That’S on there.
Hernandez didn’t really nah um.
She didn’t.
She didn’t win it fight.
It was a draw.
Oh, it was a draw.
Yes, it was.
It was a draw.
Um McCarter! You you want.
You fought her more than once, but you won off.
You won both fights right, yeah, right yeah, you two could fight again.
I know she would Hey.
Listen, we’ve already talked about it, but because we we are we’re such good friends.
I know it’s hard to fight.
Somebody you know, that’s exactly why um me and Melissa Hernandez were supposed to fight a couple times.
We had contracts um, but we had become friends like we talked often I haven’t talked to it a long time, but we talked often um and she was just like.
I really don’t want to fight, I mean I don’t know, I would have fought her because it was just.
It was the right fight at the right time for like both of our careers um.
So I had, I would have took the fight, but she ended up.
Not we ended up, not fighting, we just I don’t know she just thought.
We were too close and it’s hard to fight somebody you become friends with like I could never fight Chevelle.
I mean we sparred, but that’s as far as I could go with it.
I could never fight her and then late and then Layla and we like, I said we talked about it before, but when we get into it we’re athletes professionals.
They ask me a big money.
You know what I’m saying: yeah yeah you’re, not gon na, do it for nothing.
Yeah, yeah, no um Mike says like.
Realistically, she lost her last three before the last fight yeah.
She did facts, she definitely lost them.
Um.
I don’t even know what I don’t.
I don’t know what to say there other than totally unprofessional um.
All the promoters out there that are watching Sonia drilling is very unprofessional and does not keep her word.
She doesn’t she’s, not a woman of her word.
Okay, so you can’t take her for Word of Mouth.
You probably can’t even take her for a handshake, not one of those people because uh we were all good to go all week um even this morning, all the way up until uh the show started, and she wasn’t here and I called and texted her and then She sent me an email response, so very unprofessional.
Don’T don’t put her on the show she’s not worth your time.
Um women’s Boxing Channel says Melissa Hernandez was the last fighter to beat McCarter in 2007.
and Chevy Drew with her.
Chevy did draw with Melissa Hernandez but, like we were just talking, Chevy Drew with Melissa Hernandez because Chevy didn’t want to hurt Melissa if anybody actually the fight’s on YouTube.
If, if you want your own opinion, I mean I love, I love Melissa to death too.
So don’t don’t think I’m putting down Melissa because, like I just was talking me and Melissa, are cool.
So it’s not that, but from a Fighter’s perspective been in there done it experienced.
It know it.
I know Chevy.
She heard her and could have finished her, but felt bad and didn’t want to hurt her because they were friends.
So she let she put the brakes on like almost to the floor for the rest of the fight made it very entertaining to where she still felt.
She probably won the fight enough.
I have you still probably felt you won yeah okay, so she felt like she was doing enough to win, but without hurting her.
So that’s just I don’t she didn’t really that wasn’t really a draw.
I don’t think thank you Mike.
I appreciate that Mike just um message that Chevy you’re allegedly was locked through I’m sorry, you got wrong, she is um, Chevelle is a six-time world champion right, yeah and and how many what three weight classes now I think you know and to be honest with you, They always tell people five times five times I actually with the box wreck, and I count it: oh, my God, no use sixth time or whatnot, but um 126 featherweight yeah, but yeah yeah uh women’s Boxing Channel chimes in you’re both Legends.
Oh thank you.
I’M definitely not as much of a lesson Legend as Chevelle um, but I am definitely honored to be in the Hall of Fame.
So that’s that’s to me is like every boxer’s, true Fighters.
Every two fighters dream is to make the Hall of Fame.
So that’s that was like you know.
I could close that chapter in my life and feel like I.
I actually left a mark in the sport, so that feels good.
Yes, I agree at WBC yeah, thank you Mike and women’s Boxing Channel um.
So you haven’t heard back from the commission, though, since um last week, and they said that um you know because of the holiday breaks um, we got Christmas, we had New Year’s and then on top of that they had snow schools there yeah in South Dakota.
So what happens now is that it has been assigned to a commission.
You’Ve been fighting, so it’s been a scientific Commission and that, commissioner, will sit down and he would be the fight review.
Everything that I submitted stating what um I felt was wrong.
You know where they went wrong.
I booked the fight Down fight the fight to maintain everything, so the commissioner, the head commissioner, told me that she’s waiting um it has been assigned so that, commissioner, that one commissioner sits down to be watched.
You know beautify and then, after that, if it’s not overturned – and I want to you know – continue to pursue it, then they will have all the Commissioners um look at the film and then let’s see what all of them say s waiting for one right now.
Hopefully I should have something and I’m hoping by the end of this week, uh no later than the middle next week, we’ll see what happens um right I mean, I hope that it gets overturned and they do the right thing.
You see the robberies way way too much in boxing period as a whole, but especially in women’s boxing um.
It happens all the time.
I think every one of us have felt it at one time or another yeah and it sucks um and like Chevelle said I mean a good metaphor, is she feels raped? I mean because this is life to us like this is not just a fight like Sonia said it was just a fight, no girl, it is not just a fight.
This is a business.
This is serious.
This is our life, our work, our life’s work like.
Why? Don’T you put that around, I mean imagine if you were Chevelle halbeck and you just lost to a nobody by decision got robbed.
How would you feel would you be affected? Of course, you would, because you just got robbed to somebody who wasn’t even on the same atmosphere as you and that’s on her record.
It’S yes! It like flipped the script.
I would take it as far as to say that she’s nobody, I want to take it that far okay, we won’t say a nobody, but somebody who was unheard of in the public eye, but I think about it honestly.
You know, regardless of what her Rector looks like, regardless, if she’s on the same caliber below me or whatever the case will be at the end of the day, she got it at Ridge.
She did, you know, yeah, you know fought or whatnot and I don’t care how long you’ve been fighting your accolades.
That doesn’t matter to me, like I said, yeah decisively beat me yeah, don’t take it away right right, and I agree I mean I, I have uh mad respect for anybody that actually can get in the ring.
I hate it when people come to you and they talk boxing, and then they talk trash or whatever, and it’s like have you ever even sparred like do you even know what it’s like you know and those are usually the ones that talk the most like.
They know what’s going on and they’ve never even stepped in a ring.
So it’s like how are you over here talking when you don’t even know what it’s like you’ve, never even tried it like you can’t even you probably couldn’t go one round get out of my face with that um yeah, but I do respect that.
I mean Kudos.
She got in there, so that’s more than we can say for a lot of people that won’t take the fight, but right you’re rubbing me the wrong way when you didn’t show up today.
Last minute um, I had really nothing bad to say about you.
Prior to this um I was gon na, give you kudos for fighting Chevelle, um and literally talk about your whole career.
What got you into boxing? Who you looked up to? Who you think the top fighter, like the best of all time, females, are what’s your goals in boxing uh, you know.
How are you feeling taking the fight with Chevelle like there was no bad blood over here, and there was literally not going to be any [ __ ] from me to you other than I was going to tell you that it was a big controversy.
Pretty much half or three quarters are all of the world felt like it was a robbery, the only one that felt that way, I’m sorry little lady, but uh.
No, so I was gon na ask your side of the story and how you felt about the decision.
Do you honestly feel you won? Would you give her a rematch? Do you know she’s contesting the fight? I wasn’t gon na talk trash about you.
I was going to put you on my platform and have the whole world hear your whole story about who you are and how you got into boxing and how this fight happened.
And how do you feel about the people saying it’s a controversy.
Do you feel like it was that’s literally what the show is going to be, but since you decided to um not come here today now I have no respect for you at all.
Is it are you working tonight, I’m supposed to be there at two?
