What more can you want? What more can you want from from this young hungry undefeated pro, who seems to be just kicking butt to you know like, and he hasn’t been the distance.
This kid has him in the distance since uh his fight back in 2018 august 11th against um, uh, uh, alma, uh omega and that fight that fight went four rounds.
That’S what it was.
It was a four schedule for four rounds.
It went the four rounds, unanimous decision he won, but then the kid has not gone the distance since then, and has stopped every opponent that’s been put in his way and last the saturday night’s performance was a good one.
You know it almost went the distance, but then he took them out right at the end of the batch man.
This kid he’s got the power in his hands to stop these kids, we’re going to see lots of him.
Men he’s he’s the puerto rican sensation.
That’S christian tapia watch out for this kid man, big things on the rise, we’ll see lots of him in the future, i’m sure of it.
So that being said, we’ve now talked about him guys.
I want you to go and check him out.
I want you to check back those last two fights watch this kid man watch how he he puts together his punches man.
He really is a talented fighter.
We will see lots of this puerto rican in in in the future for sure now this weekend’s boxing – yes, graham, let’s talk about it.
What do you want to say? What do you want to say? Uh i’ll start off with the women uh jessica, mccoskill uh gave quite a lesson to uh to our young people, our canadian counterpart yeah, i mean i got ta, say uh.
She had a tough chin, but couldn’t couldn’t stand toe to toe mccaskill and caskel is one tough cookie, oh yeah, great great fight, so i just want to mention that right off the top second thing, i wanted to mention a little down the road but uh we Were looking forward to seeing jake paul get beaten by tommy fury, but that’s not going to happen now, apparently uh so anyway, so bookending uh the weekend.
I thought i thought i’d mention those two things, but i had a great great time watching the fights this weekend.
Oh great, really brilliant fights, last night’s fights too man.
Last night’s fights were really really good.
Man um, you know we we we did our watching, live and uh.
You know it was very successful.
Thank you to all the people that tuned in and uh.
You know watched us watch uh, this great fight go on with these two pitbulls of fighters.
These short little guys who just got power, man and uh.
You know what it was.
It was a great fight last night, uh, cruz davis uh.
You know davis walks away with uh the points it went, the distance uh it was.
It was a brilliant fight.
Man, guys, if you haven’t seen it yet go out, find the highlights, find the full fight check it out man, what a great fight, uh co-main event.
Another good one as well: man, uh fendora fenora, with garcia, another brilliant fight there, uh fendora this, this six foot, five and a half 80 inch reach 154 pounder like wow and uh he’s getting better and better as we watch him uh, you know improve in his In his pro career and um, you know what a great fight last night guys, the other guy i wanted to mention too someone who you’ve mentioned on the show.
Often phillip, ergovic, nice, nice takedown of his opponent, forget his name but uh.
That was interesting too.
On a couple levels, because that was a croatian, a serb going out of toe-to-toe and all the commentators didn’t make much about it.
There has to be some underlying hatred between those two guys that those two countries don’t like each other and well.
They might nowadays but uh, but historic historically, there’s been some bad blood, and so i just wondered if that had some underlying i’ll show you in the ring type stuff about kurgovic, obviously uh showed us he’s got some sort of potential and uh.
I i like that.
Fight as well he’s got he’s got some heavy mitts man that kid i i’ll tell you that i was very i’ve been very impressed with watching him over his career.
So far i did find him a while ago.
You know – and this is what i mean we were talking about um – you know this new, these new talents that are just coming into the heavyweight division, and this is one of them.
This is one of these guys that you’re not gon na you’re, not gon na, be able to ignore for very long uh.
You know he is improving with every every match that he gets in that ring every time he throws a punch.
He is improving.
You know his his ring iq is getting better and it showed in that fight this weekend on how much he’s improved just from his last fight to this fight, and we know that this kid has big heavy hands and uh, and he shows it man there’s not Too many people that are able to stand in front of this guy right now and i’m super excited to see what uh, what the future holds in store for this guy.
Honestly and speaking of that, i see that uh eddie hearn has said that uh devin haney would be more than happy to go down to australia to beat uh george cambosis.
Yes, yes, i’ve, i’ve.
I’Ve just heard that actually – and i was pretty impressed yeah because hey you know what i give it eddie hearn he’s he’s he’s that guy he is that guy.
He he’s the one that says hey.
I will fly my fighters to fight you anywhere, and it would be great to see that it would be great to see it.
He tried to do it with bob arum bob abram was, you know, batting heads, hey eddie hearn the whole times like.
I will take my champions to you.
I don’t i’ll bring the fight to your doorstep.
This would be awesome hey if devin haney wants to bring it get brought across upon, and then you know step on somebody else’s doorstep and do it and eddie hearns all about that, hey that could happen and we’re all down for that man.
That would be an excellent excellent choice and that would be that probably be close uh.
You know in a couple of months that would be great yeah and if you remember, before their respective fights gumbosis had said he could fill a 90 000 person stadium.
If that fight were to happen so now he’s kind of uh uh he’s laid down the gauntlet and uh.
I think eddie hearn will take that challenge up and say: okay, let’s, let’s, let’s fly our boy down there.
So congratulations to devin haney.
