Yes, you know what those are the guns.

Maybe the guns welcome back boxing fans to another episode of knuckle up featuring mike gore at four.

Here we go, we’ve got uh.

I guess this is the two of the two part series we’re doing yeah.

I guess so i guess so so this is um.

Yesterday’S uh episode was about patrice uh, a canadian boy who’s going to be um taking on.

I guess, uh this.

This fine gentleman we’re talking about today, esquiva falco.

This boy is 28 and oh with 20 knockouts.

Brazilian southpaw 510, the 72 and a half inch reach he’s ranked number one in brazil in the middle division and he’s ranked 38th out of 1274.

he’s coming off a fight back in february, uh february 20th, 2021 against uh, arthur akova by kovac.

So this was back at the bubble.

It was in the bubble at the mgm grand.

I don’t know if you guys remember watching it.

I do remember seeing this kid uh.

It’S a fourth round.

Fourth round stoppage, you know real good fight man.

This guy is going up against our canadian boy and uh this.

The winner of this will take on the uh, the winner of the triple g and uh murder fight.

So i’m kind of excited for this one man, uh falco man, this uh as an amateur.

He became famous in his amateur years by winning the middleweight bronze medal at the 2011 world, amateur boxing championship losing to to murita, which is funny because he may end up facing him.

If he ends up taking uh, you know taking that match against triple g.

It’S gon na be great um.

He hereby qualified for the 2012 olympics where he won the silver medal becoming the first brazilian to reach an olympic boxing final, after defeating his opponent uh his name literally it literally portuguese for dodge and slip.

So that’s a great story.

Great story: right, like you, couldn’t you couldn’t you couldn’t ask for it more man.

His name means to dodge and slip.

The guy is the first brazilian to medal and uh.

You know in zamasu, boxer uh, his amateur boxer father, wanted to circumvent the prohibition.

Given four coach instructions during the fight and guide his son simply by shouting his name, it’s great uh, so guys be on the lookout for this man.

I told you about it.

The fight is coming up on the 20th.

I believe it was of uh november.

So that’s coming up real soon.

It should be really good.

Oh carl, from last build boxing how you doing buddy long time, no talk thanks for stopping by um.

Yes, so guys be on the lookout for this guy man, it’s cueva, falco, he’s taking on patrice.

You know our man, our man from canada uh.

It should be an epic battle, real good fight, uh.

Both these guys very talented, and you know what i can’t.

I can’t wait to can’t wait to watch it man and uh.

You know we’re gon na see, uh we’re gon na see a lot more of these guys, carl what’d.

You say here.

I know this is off topic, but we, where are your thoughts on white, not being officially named mandatory for tyson? I haven’t even thought of it.

To be honest, i haven’t even thought of it.

I don’t know what to think about that.

Graham, do you have any thoughts um? You know this all came about because uh, the rematch between music and uh anthony joshua, which kind of forced the hand i think uh against their wishes um.

So i’m not in favor of that kind of tactic.

If you will, if it is a tactic but uh, i don’t think jillian white, really i’m gon na say it has the right uh to go toe-to-toe with tyson fury at the moment i mean hey man, that’s just what i think, but i don’t know what goes Behind uh so-called closed doors within these boxing councils federation nations, there’s a there’s, a link.

You can get more information from that link, but i mean i just said i guess so you see in my humble opinion, white wants to go after tyson, fury of course, as we have said many many times the boxers can say all they want, but it’s up To these ruling organizations that stifle movement – and i guess whether for good reason or not in this particular case, carl’s arguing for no good reason very messy, indeed yeah so um, i’m not in favor of the politics, and i think i think you’re not in favor of The politics mike so yeah, no, i’m not a fan of the politics um.

You know it should be it it is.

It is very messy.

It’S a very messy situation.

That’S why i haven’t even thought about it.

Really, it’s uh! It’S it’s! It’S just politics! [ __! ] man, so if i’m not, if i’m not mistaken, it’s eddie hearn who manages uh or promotes depending how you look at it auntie and joshua and dillian white he’s got something in in the game here in terms of a he’s, got his guy going up against You sick, what’s his other guy, going to do? Oh well, let’s put him up against tyson fury tyson if he has to take it if it’s called a mandatory fight.

So but in this case uh i think is it wbc? Is it wbc, wbc wbc said uh? No, so it’s up to them not up to dillian’s white camp yeah, so guys, you’ve heard it um carl yeah you’re, looking forward to all the footage from our road trip this weekend.

Yes, that’s right! It’S going to be a great fun fancy road trip for us to all the fight fans watching around the world talk and fight and knuckle up we’re going on a road trip to uh windsor to go see our uh, our buddy cedric and uh do our first On location, interview and um, and in our first uh face-to-face knockout of the week award, which is gon na, be great man, i think we’re gon na have an epic road trip, so guys stay tuned for that.

Also, i’m reminding you escueva falco watch out for this kid 28-0.

This is the ibf middleweight title eliminator between him and patrice uh will serve as the chief support for the terence crawford and sean porter welterweight title belt november 20th.

Guys remember this uh.

You know falco 28-0, an olympic silver medalist scored the fourth round tko over akov in april 31 year.

Old brazilian has never faced an opponent of note yet finds himself on the brink of 160 pound title shot.

The same goes for vulney 32 year old from montreal.

Triple g defends his title against murita and the victor of falco vulney will be named the mandatory challenger of the winner of that fight, guys so big fights in the works this weekend coming.

It’S going to be great excellent, be on the lookout for these two to go at it toe to toe and smash it out.
