I i think we’re gon na see them with a real good, dominant performance man.
I do like the way these kids train.
I do like uh how much you see them in the gym.
Man they’re always documenting what they’re doing.
I think it’s going to be a great uh.
You know a great event to expose these kids out to the boxing world and really show their showcase.
Your talents, man, these kids, have natural ability.
You can see it in them and uh when they train, they train hard man.
They got heart, determination, uh.
They got solid fundamentals uh, you know they got great skills, they all can box off the back.
You know off the back foot, they can all box on the front foot and their defense is impeccable man.
So, honestly, i can’t wait to see uh.
You know this dynasty family of boxers just get in there and start really wrecking house man.

You know you know, i know they got him going from the from the gym to the ring and every time he comes to the ring show progress and that’s what you want to do as a young fighter coming up in the game and that’s that’s your focus.
That’S all you need to do ring, show progress, that’s it you, you got, you got it, you got to be.
You got to be showing progress, man every time you get in there, as in as a young cat coming up in the pro game.
If you’re not looking better after every event, you know you’re only going to end up plateauing and getting stuck in one of these uh one of these tomato camp positions which uh you know yeah, is that it’s not a good career for boxers.
You know that is it sergio that he’s the main event? Isn’T he uh? I was like really.
I had to double check this to see.
You know the big store, because i thought he was done man.
Oh me too, me too, but uh.
You know what this is gon na get underway.
I can’t wait to see this man, it’s all over their instagram uh.
This is gon na be this can be a great event.
Man uh, you know, you’re gon na have an entire generational fight card is what’s gon na go on you’re going to see you know different levels i know, and that that’s what’s going to be great about the next five years in boxing is going to be very Interesting with all these legacies, sons and grandsons coming out, fighting and uh, you know they’re doing a pretty good they’re doing a real good job at at their craft.
I like to see that, because back in the day they used to get a lot, you know to get a bad rep over that.
You know oh yeah they’re, not that good as their father.
It was every you know.
Fans are really hard on them because they want to see that that dedication, that their dads or their grandfathers brought to the game – and you know – and all these are these legends now that they’re teaching their son they’re, giving their sons those you know those qualities and That’S good and not only that the sons and the grandsons they want it.
So if you want it bad enough, you can get it.
Definitely definitely – and you know it’s it’s surprising – to see how many of these uh, you know, legends uh, you know, sons or grandsons are really starting to really come through and uh and and stand out man in in the pro game.
Like you know, it’s it’s.
It’S insane, it’s it’s crazy.
I love watching him and it’s just showing that um.
You know it’s not just it’s not just the fundamentals, man.
These kids are born with that raw talent, uh they’re, born to get in there and perform they’re born to get in there and fight, and it really shows every time these guys get in the ring, and you know the way they improve it’s it’s great.
I’M super excited for it: no, no and mayweather.
You know i’m able to set the tone too, because it was great that mayweather was able to show them.
You know what you had to do to get it.
You know if you’ve been around if you’ve been raised up in a sport, you know you have it so the thing is just like: like customization, we got to discover and uncover yeah.
If you put the work in that will happen, you know what i mean.
So you got to get thanks to mayweather for setting the trend for all these guys to look up to him and the way he’s he’s done it.
Oh definitely, he’s he’s, definitely paved the way for all these younger guys, yeah, you know he’s he’s changed it up.
Uh he’s made it a little more intense, i believe.
Oh yeah yeah he’s definitely set that bar high.
He set the intensity level even higher and uh.
Honestly, these young, these young cats – they don’t want to uh, they don’t want to upset and they don’t want to disappoint, so they do nothing but get in there and and move at that intensity in that pace and uh it’s making for some really great fighters.
Man like definitely we we’ve, never had such an abundance of prospects in boxing coming up like we do now.
We’Ve never had such an overflow of real raw young talent, you’re right and that’s that’s that’s the point i would i was i was making now we just have to get our image olympic boxing team together.
You know you know just i know over here the stage we got to get that together because uh you know it’s only one or a few.
Now it’s the woman, that’s doing it yeah yeah man.
It is uh.
Speaking of women man.
You know that countdown, the countdown to the taylor fight wow, oh yeah, yeah, i’m super excited man.
I’M super excited for that tyranno taylor, it’s getting on it’s gon na, be it’s gon na, be epic.
Definitely uh definitely going to be the biggest fight in uh in women’s history of boxing.
You know: uh definitely gon na be the biggest payday too oh wow wow, and what date is that uh that one graham, do you know the exact date of that one? Uh? No, it’s off my head.
No, let me know when you because there’s another historic fight going on tomorrow.
I don’t know what’s going on tonight for women, and that is the estelle mostly fight uh, going on in dubai is the first time that two women are headlining.
Uh boxing event in the middle east and they’re fighting for the yeah they’re fighting they’re fighting for the ibo uh.
It’S the world title uh, then they’re in the the light division.
But anyway, the point is is so when, when james had mentioned the sons and grandsons earlier, i thought what about daughters, because i thought about laila, ali and and and the work that she’s done for women and now now we’re seeing not only the taylor serrano.
That’S going to be amazing, but tonight and i don’t know the time zone difference, but it’s still mostly, i mean she’s an up-and-comer too, although she’s undefeated 9-0, but historic uh for for both women as well and by the way when i was screaming through uh box.
Rack uh, which always keeps us on our toes when you’re going through all these different bouts unbelievably in the democratic republic of the congo, there’s an all-women card really so i’m saying yeah in kinshasa, so i’m saying to myself wow this! This is taking it to a whole new level like uh you’re.
Not only seeing these title fights of the women and, as i said, uh paved uh paved the way by people like laila ali, but now you’re, seeing all female cards as well and uh, and to have that in in, like i was hoping to speak to a An african broadcaster the other day.
Unfortunately, we just couldn’t connect uh, but african boxing is really taking off um, i’m guessing.
It was always there, but whether you’re talking about south africa, tanzania, kenya, uganda, nigeria, ghana and now democratic republic of congo.
These are all big nations.
With a huge interest in the sport of boxing – oh yeah, it’s always it’s always been there.
I remember dealing with uh with the ivory coast.
They i mean they want it bad down there uh out there, and i i get a lot of people on on linkedin from africa.
You know telling me that they’re fighting sending me their box right and this and that so uh i’ve known for a couple of years now that you know that that’s gon na that’s gon na get big same thing with women’s boxing they’re gon na have their chance.
They’Re gon na have their shot.
I know they’ve been wanting to make more money.
I know they’ve been wanting to do more, do more minutes in the rounds, and i i think if they can do the three minutes – hey let them do it.
You know what i mean, you know, give it to him, so i’m i’m all for it.
You know – and i know, there’s some old heads out here – that really don’t want to see that happen and they’ve always kept their thumb on on women’s boxing.
But in the future.
That’S not going to happen anymore, that that’s almost out the window and i’m glad for that and i like to see you know the woman get there dude one of our broadcasters on talk and fight.
Uh sugar, natalie brown right.
She was telling us she used to.
She used to fight three men of fights three-minute rounds um.
So you know i don’t i don’t know what point to switch to two-minute rounds or who decided that women weren’t strong enough or couldn’t compete.
Uh there’s some some argument that uh women might be more susceptible to uh, injury and or a greater number of knockouts dehydration yeah.
But it’s learning.
You got ta hydrate yourself, you hydrate yourself, you’re all right, and why not you know they they doing it in the ring.
Now you got the smart water.
You know in between rounds, i mean come on.
I mean that’s just a lame excuse to me.
I i think i think it’s i think it’s it’s still a way to just you know, keep that thumb right there.
You know yeah yeah, yeah yeah, that’s all it is.
I i believe i believe it’s just another way to control it.
You know they.
They haven’t realized how big it’s grown or expanded.
You got ta, you know from for we’re talking in the past ten years.
Right ten years ago, we had the olympics time women’s boxing’s ever introduced.
Now you fast forward 10 years, we have the only undisputed two division champion ever in the history of boxing.
Is a woman right right right? That’S 10 years later so we’ve, you know, the women have made leaps and bounds in in in boxing, as in terms of you know the ground that they forget.
They’Ve made man like it’s crazy.
How much how far they’ve come in just 10 years in the next 10 years? Who knows where it’ll be? Oh, i know, no god i agree with you and they and they and the woman they fighting too well they’re, very exciting fighters, man a lot of them.
I love seeing the woman uh, you know fighting, i love to see them on the cards as well.
You know because they, you know they.
You know this this.
This is going down.
You know you ain’t trying to leave.
You see what you’re watching we’re coming on.
Now: okay, cool: why this gon na be good, you know and – and always it’s always it always is always.
I haven’t seen a foreign woman fight uh, yet i haven’t seen one yet man yeah.
Honestly, honestly, i can’t say that i’ve seen a boring woman’s match.
I don’t know i haven’t seen any chess matches, [ Laughter ].
That makes it great.
What i love about it is is, is there’s no no joking around man.
They know they got only two minutes, so they get in there and they get the job done.
They’Re.
In there to bang it out, throw as many punches as they can try and knock your head off at the same time, knock you out and then finish and right, and it always makes for such an exciting.
You know it’s an exciting recipe for for success.
Man – and it happens every single time right, every single time these women get in there, it’s not like a once.
It’S not really one-sided you’ll.
Have you know what prime example uh uh emma cosin versus clarissa shields right that fight shields should have just walked over.
That’S what everybody thought, but no kozin went the distance.
You know clarissa shields the distance because she had heart and determination and that drive to want to win.
You know what i mean so she stepped it up and she brought the fight to clarissa shields, and now, with that happening, you had a a full-on belt that went the distance that was exciting, both ways back and forth.
Okay, right, you know, you don’t even see too much of that in the men’s man, not not at all.
You know that.
That’S that’s what that’s! Why that’s what you got ta love about the woman fight.
Is it plus not only that, but you think you know some of these promoters out here, put on you, so they put women on the car there’s a reason why they put the woman on the car because they know they’re putting butts in the seat.
Man.
That’S right, they might not.
They might not tell you, but you know what everybody say: oh we’re just giving them a shot.
Yeah, okay, yeah yeah, no they’ve been.
They know the real reasons, because you know they put the people in the seat.
Man, that’s right.
Exactly you’re guaranteed you’re guaranteed if, if you’re gon na have women on the card, no matter how that main event goes, you know, you know that woman’s belt stole the show.
Anyway.
That’S right! That’S right, and it’s been happening like that forever yeah yeah.
Definitely i i love it when uh when we’re interviewing uh women and they say they they kind of migrate.
Slowly, mostly, they say this.
They migrate slowly from say a fitness program to uh.
Oh, you want me to step in the ring.
Oh, you want me to punch someone in the face and then all of a sudden wow i enjoyed it.
You know is that you know, and then you can’t get them out the ring, and so they’re they’re not only passionate about the sport.
They understand the sport, uh they’re fun to watch they’re fun to listen to because of their passion and enjoyment of what they’re doing and the technique we’re miles ahead of where we were 10 years ago.
Even k you right even katie taylor will tell you that i mean miles ahead in terms of training in terms of their stamina.
In terms of you know their health and conditioning what they’re going through it’s the same for the men uh and therefore i think realistically, they should be given the three minute: uh votes, oh yeah, and with the woman you can’t just look at the one i mean You’D be surprised, i mean you see a woman that, like you said, just doing ballet and actually you know she’s knocking folks out you’re like how did this happen or a model, a beautiful model, getting the ring and just killing folks you’re like wow, but you got To remember women, women are vicious yeah, i mean you know.
If you see a woman on the streets, fighting you’re like wow, they just you know they just they’re, very, very vicious by nature.
You know you bring that out of them uh in the ring, and you you get a great fight.
Definitely definitely definitely the girl, even the yellow, the girl, the girl that i profiled on today’s show um honestly uh jimmy fox.
You got ta watch him for this girl man.
Honestly.
She didn’t try boxing for the first time until her sophomore year in college wow and now she’s fighting wow a lot of women like that i’ve heard so many stories like that’s why i brought it up because i’ve heard so many stories and i just couldn’t believe It man i’m like wow man, you who would ever think you know that that that woman right there, that was a model or was in school for two three years college and just comes out out of nowhere and just bangs it out, gets in shape, comes in And comes in and bangs it out, man and just wow, just phenomenal, it’s unbelievable man! Oh, i know it’s crazy and you know i’ve interviewed a few of them.
I’Ve interviewed a few that have done this.
You know started off doing something else got into boxing later.
On in life, yeah um, you know we had, we had one, you guys go and check it out, you’ll see it it’s on the friday night, female female fridays of the knuckle up show.
Honestly it’s it’s hilarious uh.
You know pro runway model.
First, dj uh world kickboxing champion and then what hey you know what after i have my second channel.
I think it’s time i take up boxing in my 30s yeah.
That’S right! That’S crazy! That’S some! That’S some determination and and love for the sport or for combative sports all together right.
So, honestly, we there’s a new breed of women coming up in this game and honestly, it’s just gon na get more and more exciting, the more and more we let them get in there and and bang it out.
Man and honestly, it’s only a matter of time before they get their three-minute rounds like they want.
You know we can’t hold them back; rather they can’t be held back forever nah.
I don’t think i don’t think so.
Neither like you said just a matter of time.
Yeah, so we have someone commenting uh james gawley’s, telling us this taylor.
Serrano fight is saturday april 30th at madison square garden.
Yes, and that’s it i was going to say that, but we got into topics yes april: the 30th, it’s finally getting underway taylor serrano! Here we go for the undisputed we’re going to see we’re going to see it’s going to be great.

Sorry that’ll be for nothing.
That’S just about super lightweight, then we have a super middleweight.

The 16th guys mark that on your calendar, 9 p.

Eastern uh, this one is going to be great man, and that is the weekend before uh the fury dillian white card.

This is where it really starts to get good.
We got uh ben and van hurden and then we have the spence, you guys fury and white vargas and smith, taylor, serrano and then valdez and stevenson to round out the month and then we start great and then we start mate with canelo versus bible 7th.
At 9 00 pm, it’s going to be interesting.
Yes, so honestly, i think canelo is going to have his work cut out, but i think it’s not gon na be as easy as he thinks it’s not gon na be easy.
I you know i like dimitri bello.
I’Ve been watching this kid for time and honestly man he does have what it takes.
He does have what it takes.
If he’s got any chance uh, you know, he’s he’s, definitely he’s.
Definitely the one who’s got a chance.
You know he’s got he’s, got some heavy hands man, this kid he’s got heavy hands and uh.
You know he gets in there and sometimes just crushes men and and honestly, you know, that’s gon na be a great fight for canelo.
It definitely um.
You know i’m a huge canelo fan, but uh yeah.
This is gon na be this is gon na, be not a walk in the park meet you.
I need to uh.
You know one thing: i’m gon na be watching canelo’s to see how he moves.
You know.
Yeah because he you know, as you get older, fighting and canelo, you know people say: oh he’s not that old, but he turned pro when he was 15.
he’s yeah in the game a long time.
That’S right! So you know his movement and a lot of a lot of those things.
You know, i’m not i’m not really there like they used to be so, and this guy, like you, said this guy got hands and he likes to get in there and bang.
You know canelo, hopefully his upper body movement is good, which i’ve been seeing and it has.
He has improved in a lot of areas that he he needed to prove as as you get older, so that so it’s going to be interesting on seeing what canelo still has you know yeah.
I think i think this would be a good test to see how much longer he has left.
That’S yeah.
That’S that’s my point.
That’S the point i’m trying to make and that’s what i’ll be watching for that’s what i’m going to be looking at to see.
You know how he does at that yeah and then we have, and then we have fury saying that he’s going to retire after uh after this dillian white fight man, he says he’s going to hang it up, i believe, hey, he had a great career.
I had to call him the comeback: kid man, you know and uh that just tells you that god is good man, you know so and i i believe that that’s what he should do.
I mean, i think, that’s the right move.
You know yeah retire with the boat.
Oh, come on, that’s the best thing in the world, yeah yeah a lot of them.
Don’T a lot of them.
Don’T they? You know they stay a little bit too much.
They stay a little too long, uh! You know where they fall, they fall from that grace and they fall pretty hard and then you know they they just get swept under the rug and forgotten about, and you know it sucks that it happens like that, but uh yeah you can, you can see it.
Man, you can see it he’s not he’s got nothing left to prove all right, he’s not being ever he’s beat everybody, he needs to beat uh.
You know he’s he’s done.
He wants to enjoy his money.
He’S young he’s got what i think.
Six children or something like that right right, you know what i mean he’s got he’s got lots to do.
Man he’s got like that’s right.
You got ta, go back and give that time to them.
You know exactly exactly he’s been doing it a long time already.
Uh, you know he’s made his money uh and honestly he just wants to go out on a bang.
He wants to go out.
He says that he’s going to destroy dillian white he’s going to end it he’s going to make sure it doesn’t go the distance, but i do like how dillian white has been super super quiet.
He really hasn’t been in the media.
He hasn’t been saying anything.
He hasn’t been chirping, he hasn’t been responding and and honestly, i think it’s creating head games, that’s creating a head game in its own.
You know you got somebody, that’s chirping, so much and then you you you just ghost them.
You know.
That’S got to get inside.
Your head, too, so honestly, i think i think we’re going to see a good boat there.
I do say fury’s guy, i’m taking fury to win it uh i’d like because i’d like to see him go out.
You know on a high and uh retire, the champion.
The way he should – and i’m with you on that, i i’m on i’m on your team with with that, what that called there most.
Definitely you know these fighters, you know like mayweather, mayweather, didn’t they wouldn’t retired with the belt.
You know that was.
That was great.
I loved i loved that he did that, and that was one of my father’s dream was to do that was to retire undisputed.
We used to always talk about that and i was kind of you know and i was kind of bothered.
He gave leonid uh a shot right.
I was like i i felt as though he didn’t deserve a shot.
You know i, like i told my dad.
I said you should have made a non-title fight so that way whatever happened, you still can, you know retire with the belt, but he said to me: he wouldn’t have got that much money if he did that so yeah yeah.
I guess i guess not yeah.
I guess i guess the title means a lot more dough right, yeah but come on you just come out of retirement and all of a sudden you get a title at that.
That’S how i was that’s how i was looking at it.
I was like.
Well, he don’t deserve a title.
That’S okay! It’S still a fight.
People are still to pay for it.
Yeah.
Definitely damn you! People wait long enough.
They’Ll say who cares about the title exactly if they want to fight bad enough, you know that’s coming that’ll come yeah.
You see what happened to manny, pacquiao and big, and that was a that was a big paying one too yeah.
I know that’s what it was going down.
Senator pacquiao uh had no time for no small, though yeah.
I know i wouldn’t either i buy a whole village.
When i get married, can i can i bounce back to the heavyweights for a sec? What have you heard about? Auntie joshua because you sick, is over in the ukraine and joshua has basically left not hanging but he’s basically picking and choosing.
If you will um but, let’s just say, jury wins and retires.
Let’S just say: joshua beats whoever he faces: uh you’re, starting to thin out that top end of the you know the top five heavyweights and you’re starting to create a bit of room um.
You know, and you know, if dylan white loses he’s going to drop down a notch uh.
I don’t know if deontay wilder’s, my point has always been dante.
Wilder’S brain, i think he suffered uh a concussion in that last fight and those are that’s a dangerous thing to deal with.
Quite frankly for a boxer he’s another one.
That’S got enough money that can sit at home, though, and he should is my point uh, but he’s considering some options as well.
So i was just wondering you know, because we argue back and forth whether 2022 we’ll see this backlog.
Finally, uh burst open and uh.
Some of the newer faces really enter the true top tier of the heavyweight division.
I mean we’ve been following a lot of these up and comers and their time is coming, but we just put but auntie joshua needs to make a decision and uh.
Then there has to be, my guess would be well guess if fury retires, then anyway, so i was just wondering if you guys had heard anything new on the antique joshua front i haven’t as of yet i know they were bouncing around options, though of having having Somebody step in and take the fight, but i haven’t heard anything since, since the last update so anthony didn’t do anything.
They said anthony, didn’t look that that well in his last fight yo, that’s because he came up to the rocky song yo.
You don’t come up to the rocky song if you ain’t from philly bro.
That’S two words! Well that that’s true! You can’t do that.
You can’t do that.
That’S just especially especially the song where, where um rocky is driving in his lambo and and he’s having a flashback to creed dying in the ring and that song is played, you can’t come out to that song and then not show up to fight yeah yeah and Not show up, do you write about that yeah you put that song, you better.
You need to come and and give a good performance, because that’s what that that song motivates you to do that.
You know that’s what it’s all about and you know teddy too.
I was really disappointed.
I’M kind of disappointed, anthony joshua, just because the fact that i know he’s a lot better fighter than what he displays and i just wish he had taken a little more serious uh with his career.
I think he should take his career a little more serious if he wants to get back into these [ __ ].
You know, because i know you’re just going off for your popularity and the fact that you can sell tickets and some people still believe in you.
But i look at you and i’m like man, you know i mean you know it just doesn’t make any sense.
No! No um george joyce’s manager has confirmed contact has been made with anthony joshua, but has questioned whether his british rival will take the fight as he awaits the world title rematch with alexander usyk.
So joe joyce has said that he’ll step in and um and uh take him on.
I actually, i think, that’d be a nice uh.
Nice fight to see to be honest, yeah joe joyce – i don’t know huh could be could be interesting, could be interesting, but hey.
This is a 12-hour go update.
So, yes, there are being talks still made uh.
That was an update 12 hours ago.
So joyce’s camp has made contact uh they’re, trying to talk about getting a fight together there so we’ll see what happens so dante wallace he’s trying to get back into the picture, graham yeah, absolutely yeah, yeah wow yeah.
Absolutely.
I think i think, honestly, i think wilder should just stay home, put his feet up sip on his rum and enjoy his money or take his box a little more serious and develop his skills yeah and stop relying on that one one cocked right hand exactly yeah, Yeah and the weakest jab i’ve ever seen in my life.
I know you know that i’ve never seen a jab so weak.
I don’t know not to be a big man like you’re, a guy yeah yeah.
That’S right not to be a guy his size.
You know you think he his jab is a little sharper plus he’s thin, so his job should be fast, it should be like he should, and you know what he’s got to stop skipping leg day, [ Laughter ].
The way he was training was, he was doing a lot of that um um.
What’S it uh the training training like using body weight body, weight, training now cross training, he was doing cross training and he said you know, and they had him getting up early in the morning.
He said he didn’t like the mornings too tough and he would get up.
You know during the uh afternoon or not afternoon.
Well, you know late mornings and, and starters workouts.
Well, you know i mean cross.
Training is good, but let’s go back to the basics.
Man yeah: what would the mickey say come on rock? Let’S go get up your son of a [, __, ], [, Laughter, ], he’s he’s a he’s, an olympian.
You know you got ta, have skill to be an olympic athlete.
You know and compete at that level.
You have to have some sort of skill, that’s right! Where the hell did the skill? Go, he didn’t he didn’t.
He didn’t.
You know you don’t if you don’t use it, you lose.
You know.
If you don’t use it, you lose it kind of thing.
So you know i guess he became accustomed to okay, i’m ready guys, i’m just gon na run around the ring with this right hand ready the whole time [, Music ].
Oh man, that’s what you say so if he gets his skills together it might be.
He might be a different fighter and he’ll find out that the fights are a lot easier yeah, for you know, for a guy who, you know had the record, he did and uh you know, compiled the wins that he did and wore that belt for as long As he did and that in that fight against fury, he he took far too much damage yeah and honestly for for you to be taking damage like that, where your defense is out the window, your defense didn’t show up it’s sitting back in the third row.
Waiting for your mouth guard, no doubt no, like you said he got away with that for so long and he was doing good at it and he held the belt in the title, the title for so long.
You would think that okay, you, you know, i know his corner was telling him i know.
Mark mark was telling me look.
We got to get the skills right because you’re going to fight somebody one day, that’s going to have a little bit better than you and you’re going to run into problems and that’s what he should have did.
He should have made more.
He should have made adjustments, made progress and and got chopper.
He would have been still there right now, yeah yeah, i think so i think so.
I think he went the wrong way with uh with the trainer that he took before that fight.
Oh yeah yeah.
Definitely you should have never got rid of uh mark breeland.
He should have just worked with them.
You know you know he stuck it out with him for so long.
What was the?
There are no reviews yet.
