What up talking fight fans, thanks for tuning in to this special episode of Knuckle Up knockout of the week with yours? Truly Mike Orr and our winner of last this week’s [ __ ] knockout of the week man, our man, Floyd Schofield, Ken Austin, coming through that vicious vicious document.
You did say you were gon na finish it in the first and you and you delivered you deliver it only thing.
I didn’t get my body shot, so I’m gon na have to do that.
The next fight, I know because you’re ruthless with those body shots I’ll, tell you man yeah and he was he was eating them too.
When I was like because in the beginning I was saying what a lot I’m like.
I know that had to hurt, but so so run us run us through the the whole the whole deal.
It was only 90 seconds uh.
What was it? What was the game plan coming out at the bell and and just run through the execution? Um? Well, really, the game plan was um to follow like not to basically like not do what I did the last fight.
You know get too over anxious and whatnot slow down.
I feel like I did just that but like, like I said in the post, by like after we seen he wasn’t being responsive after I hit him a couple of times.
My team was like get on them.
Don’T let him get time to think like like.
I was thinking it could be a setup, so I was like okay, you know this.
Is I never had to fight nobody who wasn’t throwing no punches back, but once I like rewatch The Fight, I see why he didn’t throw back but um just really just going there and like really box him.
But you know the game plan switched up mid fight.
Once we see him, he wasn’t gon na throw back.
So we was like we’re just gon na go back to what we did the first time.
That’S right! That’S right! Yo! It was sick man.
It was sick.
I loved watching the fight.
Honestly, you looked very calm, very, very reserved, uh yeah.
I did notice that you really did hold back.
You were very uh, methodical with your shots.
You didn’t get over zealous.
Man really uh really shows that you’ve grown a hell of a lot in the ring in the last year, man um, honestly, you know you’ve been signed a golden boy.
What’S uh tell us all about that man, because that’s that’s huge News man.
It’S like like.
I always say I said dream come true like just to be here and like they actually have their attention on me like everybody was saying like and they still saying they’re still in my comments like it, don’t even have to be a post about voter boy.
They’D be like you’re stupid for signing the Golden Boy, I’m like bro.
What the post is about like food or something so but um, it’s good and like I just don’t like the fact that you know that people are always saying like.
Oh, they don’t like black Fighters and all this other stuff I’m like well, if they don’t like black Fighters, they love me.
That’S right.
They treat me so right, a Golden Boy and, like don’t get me wrong like if you’re coming you’re just an average fighter yeah, they might not pay attention to you because they got a hundred of those, but like I’m not trying to brag or anything.
But when you have a fighter like me – or you know someone else with a lot of skill – and you know that’s hungry they’re gon na put all their time and effort in them because they know they can make money with that product at the end.
At the end of the day, I’m just a product to them and on business is business.
You know, color doesn’t have anything.
No, it has nothing yo, the only color that matters is green for real.
That’S it right.
That’S it! The only one color that matters is green, honestly, yo you’re, making noise over in the UK.
I’M letting you know that now, like I have guys over in the UK right now, who watched the show earlier when, when I profiled The Knockout and showed the video and everything and then that you’re you’re making noise over there.
So you know your brand is going your Brand’s going worldwide.
So you know that’s good, that’s good! So yo I heard I heard well you’re being called a blue chip Prospect by by everybody in the media which yeah you are man, you.
You know your top.
Your upper echelon, you know you might not have gone the same route as some of these other guys, but you’re definitely up there, man when it comes to Gucci prospects and I’ve been telling the world since, since I found you like uh, you know watching your first Fights on the internet, you know what I mean and I’ve been telling people to watch out for you, um Keyshawn Davis.
What do you think he called him out or what yeah I ain’t gon na say that I heard yeah trash, because my dad doesn’t want me to call people I’m looking for that fight and I don’t think it’s gon na happen because he has another fight.
Coming up um and like right, like he’s top ranked little Prospect, you know golden boys, so you know that fight is definitely gon na get made in the future y’all without a doubt, but I’m trying to get it now.
Just you know get all the cross breaks out the way.
That’S right! That’S right! It can only be one one upper echelon top guy right, yep, that’s it yo! So um! What’S up, what’s what’s on, what’s on the board for now like what are you? What are you doing like with Clans? I? I can’t I can’t expose what’s next: okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, it’s something big and like even I’m like wow.
This is amazing, so I’ll be fighting soon again, not this year, but definitely early of next year, excellent! Okay! So be on the lookout for you early 2023 big things happening.
Okay, because usually when you do announce things, it is Big.
So you know you do it right, um, how uh? How did the training camp go before uh before going into this fight? The training camp? Oh, my God, it was the hardest training camp in the longest.
You know, because you know my dad was like you know.
You’Ve been in the main event.
You’Re gon na have to push through this one.
So, like I had the most fun I ever had, I was born like three times a week um and I like the fights before I’ve never got more than two days as far in any of my previous fight camps.
So this one I had, I was sparring three times a week.
Every week, um strength and conditioning every day.
My only rest day was Friday and Sunday, and even then I still had to do my my road work but um and then like being in Camp with Ronnie Shields.
You know it was a good camps, getting different, looks, um and just being around like because the gym is not very big and it’s only for a professional boxers, so you got to actually be around.
You know Pros that are on PVC and you know other platforms, and you know seeing you know the hard work that they put in, so it was pretty good um.
It was long too, it was.
It was my first time having like a eight week, training camp.
Oh wow right so eight weeks, man and my diet was right.
I made 135 easy scale 134.
8 and look like still look good, so you know we plan to have you know that this next uh come up for this fight, but just a little more, you know.
Probably a little more harder, I don’t know how harder it’s gon na get than that, but right, if you can’t make it you know we want to because you know this fight should be.
You know better than my last performance because this one is going to have to count okay, okay, so I’m like I’m like I’m liking.
The sounds of this already man, so I’m getting excited to see you get get in that ring.
Man come the new year.
I know everybody else.
Will you know what we’re gon na we’re gon na play the video man that you said I’ve already? I’Ve played it twice already man for peoples, but you know we got ta watch it one more time.
I wan na see it yo.
So we’re gon na play it right now.
Here we go man, duh you’re, just Relentless you just never let you never let up.
That’S you can smell the blood there.
Couldn’T you I’m telling y’all when I fight it’s a whole different thing like there’s a walk.
There’S the walk, but yeah everybody’s like I like them like: that’s all you got from the video or what okay that was good, but now I’m like that was that was a good night like I wish I could rewind time to go back to the night.
It was a incredible yo.
That’S that’s! That’S that’s huge though you know like you get, you get signed the Golden Boy, just you know a couple of months ago and then and then you’re headlining, the next paper their next pay-per-view right, like that’s yeah, yeah man.
How are your, how are your nerves going into that fight? Were you nervous because you looked you looked calm, cool and Collective on that inside man so well, OB 100, like I like, I never get nervous and no fighter or anything because, like I was always taught you know they bleed how I bleed.
So, at the end of the day, it’s a fight and you don’t have to do what you got to do, but I was nervous because you know Oscar was there Bernard? Was there you know, the crowd was pretty big and you know they.
They, like literally.
I think it was the day of the weigh-ins they told me, like you know.
You’Re gon na have to put on show, because this town is like real critical on boxes, so that that was there so like right.
I think they have when you watch the whole event.
They have it in my locker room yeah like I have a camera in my face before I’m about to walk out and right there.
I was sweating so hard.
I was sweating more there than the fight and my warm-up makes like, like I, I told my dad like yo.
My heart is being fat, it was just because the animosity – and it was just a great turnout and everything I was just like everything – has to be perfect, and so, but after I did that ring walk and got in the ring.
All that you know it snapped in, like I was in my zone, so yeah man, you were you were in that zone.
You came out that bell went and you were right at him.
Just you know Relentless what I loved.
What I loved is the the angle of the room, like you were cutting off the angle of the ring so well that he just didn’t even have a chance to breathe.
You know, yeah you’d, never give him a chance.
You know he didn’t need the body shot.
He already couldn’t breathe anyway, man I was like, like he’s really not gon na throw nothing but like I was listening to the to the sound of the punches like I was like damn it was that hard I didn’t even know it was loud.
It was loud.
It was so loud man.
It was like honestly honestly watching it.
I felt some of those shots.
It was.
They were heavy man, they were heavy, so you’ve been working on that strength, eh yeah a long time to go in this game.
Man.
You saw me a long time ago in this game.
You’Re still developing you’re, just gon na get better man from here, and you know I can’t wait so so um you’ll put you plug your stuff.
