Last weekend I enjoyed myself as I always do completely.
It was it was.
It was a good.
It was a good bunch of events, but uh, hey everybody makes mistakes.
So let’s go let’s go through it.
We’Ll talk about what we talked about last week and guys.
I really appreciate it check it out.
I hope you watch the fight because I certainly did, and it was amazing so last week we’re gon na.
Do the recap of the uh Valdez navarrette fight the big one that we talked about last week and uh.
As you know, I thought Valdez was gon na.
Do the job? Well, guess what that was not apparent, and I was wrong yeah.
You know you can’t win them all.
You know, that’s it! That’S how it happens.
I thought Valdez had a little more in the tank.
Like I told you guys – and I really, I was really surprised at the way that navarrette was able to stay on the outside using his jab keeping him off.
Of course, Valdez died tried to come in, but guess what he was blistered with a whack load of shots and uh from all angles.
The whole point was navarrette at the end of the fight, I’m just gon na say, look like he had gone to like Dairy Queen for like an ice cream.
He he didn’t, have a mark on him.
It was on and we know what Valdez looked like.
Well, he looked like he got thrown through a meat grinder or whatever you call his his eyes were completely closed shut but, like I said these are Mexican Fighters.
The Mexicans have the biggest heart one of the biggest hearts uh as far as Fighters are concerned, and they both gave it all they had.
I respect them.
Both immensely Navarette was impressive, very impressive.
He had a Wicked Game Plan coming in.
I thought that you know he did say that he had trained in Tijuana and had said that he’s never lost a fight when he had trained in Tijuana.
That was a kind of a little thing where I thought you know what he might be onto something with that.
Obviously he he left his comfort zone and went into a place where he knew that he could uh make things better for himself his family and whoever and guess what he did not not at all.
That was a Wipeout really poor Valdez.
You know he tried.
He tried he tried and he did have a good fight like it.
Wasn’T that far off the judges saw it really far like it was far but Valdez definitely uh gave it his best shot.
I got ta say kudos to both those guys.
That was a great fight and I really enjoyed it.
Hopefully you guys can check it out on YouTube, full fight, uh this that and everything else.
As you know, you get it all on YouTube this that, and you can see us here at talk and fight.

So that was a bit of a surprise.
For me, congratulations to Mr Navarette Manuela was Emmanuel uh.
He he really impressed me with that display and uh.
Hey he’s the champion so kudos to him.
I thought it was a great display and uh I got ta say hey.
I was wrong.
Stuff happens, you know so moving forward.
We uh we’re looking at the Gary Russell fight and uh as we talked about he there’s a bunch of Russells in boxing you know, so you guys can check them all out, but uh and tunen Gary antunen Russell, who is now 17-0 all right with 17 wins By knockout uh is is unscathed and he uh did the job.
It’S a hell of a fight.
I got ta say Gary Russell.
I had him shout out chain.
Chatter, ching didn’t pay a lot, but uh 17-0 100 knockout rate he’s he’s gon na he’s.
Gon na be a force to be reckoned with in the future, so keep your eye on him.
Mr Russell, he was awesome now we’re gon na move forward this uh to this weekend.
There is a huge fight.
We’Ve been talking about it all week: uh it’s gon na, be a young guy out of the uh he’s an Arabic kid uh, an Olympic champion.
Uh he’s won Commonwealth titles he’s been a decorated amateur like all through his career, um and I’ve.
I’Ve been kind of keeping my eye on him.
He’S only got four fights but uh his management team is definitely.
I can see that his confidence is good, they’re keeping him under control.
He is a serious threat in the flyweight division.
We’Re going to talk about him.
His name is galal yafai yafai, all right, so yeah Phi is going to be fighting from the same country.
Tommy Frank, now, Tommy Frank is again an amazing amazing individual.
He had a lot of serious um health conditions when he was younger.
He had a a hole in his heart, apparently when he was about five years old, which was repaired and uh he’s become a world renowned boxer like he’s he’s done, he’s done more than you would expect for a guy, that’s been through what he’s been through.
So they’re gon na go at it this weekend, we’re talking um it’s going to be this weekend.
Saturday August 19th, 2023 in the uh utility arena in Birmingham UK, and we know that uh galal is from Birmingham and Tommy could maybe be from Birmingham check that out guys check it out.
Shout out.
Is he from Birmingham? It is a UK battle and uh.
We need to be um, so I’m I’m looking forward to it.
It’S it’s.
It’S a it’s a guy in galal who is an up-and-comer, but he has the pedigree.
His brothers were Fighters.
He comes from a fighting family.
He has a really good demeanor about himself.
His trainer manager Rob I I heard about Rob.
He really keeps him grounded um.
He knows that he has a.
He has some talent and I’ve seen it and if you check them out in any of his fights he’s spectacular, this guy is spectacular.
Oh he’s from Sheffield: oh there you go well he’s from Sheffield there you go um and uh.
They they just love him.
You know he.
He was an Olympic champion gold medalist 2020 in the Tokyo Olympics.
So he is he’s like the pride he’s.
One of those guys that, as we’re we’re moving through the ranks and stuff that I’m really really liking, so I’m gon na do an episode on him specifically down the road, because I think this guy from what I’ve seen and what I’ve heard and is, is phenomenal.
And he really is, he has everything going for him.
He works the body, amazingly, with all his combination punches.
So he has everything going for himself.
His foot speed is amazing.
I mean they’re flyweights, so there are smaller guys like myself when I was in like grade nine or something you know I was the same height and the same weight.
Five.
Seven 112.
! Well that ain’t happening today, but I’m working on it.
That’S all we can do so.
I’M I’m looking at these like yeah galal, is going to actually be a reckon, a guy to reckon with in the flyweight division.
A lot of the guys don’t want to deal with him and he’s only 4-0 he’s got three Knockouts.
I mean that gives him a 75 knockout ratio.
Tommy Frank is a 15-3 and one he only has three Kos but his heart.
It’S the heart that always uh keeps you in the fight, always have some heart, give yourself a little Kudos and don’t give up.
That’S how it works.
There is a five inch height Advantage, which is interesting.
Uh galal is five.
Two and Tommy is five seven.
So there is a bit of a you know: height differential, which is sometimes being a shorter guy where’s your advantage, but sometimes it just doesn’t so EFI is uh, ranked he’s a ranked fighter already and he’s only 4-0, so he’s ranked uh 10th in the WBO 10th.
In the IVF 11th in the WBA and 14th in the WBC, which is amazing for a guy who’s only 4-0, but the fact of the matter is he’s proven himself to be a proper fighter.
He loves the craft.
You can tell when you see him fight, he takes control of the fights like the four that he’s had, which is not including his amateur career with the all his medals and the Olympics, and all the great stuff that he’s done.
He literally to me seems like the kind of guy who has the right demeanor to become a world champion, so you got to keep your your eyes on right, galal.
He is amazing in that sense, so you have to get within their heads at times to understand who they are because they still have a heart.
They’Re still, you know they’re compassionate people, it’s a sport.
It is what it is right and some guys may take it too far, but you know what he seems to be very grounded and I’m sure his uh trainer Rob is one of the big ones in his life, and I want to say thanks to Rob wherever You are because I was very impressed with how you’ve uh made galal up to this point and I’m sure four or five fights guys pretty much he’s gon na be in a world title fight.
I guarantee it he’s right.
There yep Rodriguez, a bunch of guys piping in yeah Rodriguez, is the big guy in that Division and they don’t want to deal with him because they don’t really know what they’re going to deal with.
He has blazing hand, speed, blazing foot speed, he’s a pressure fighter who can move you up against the ropes and really give a problem.
Okay he’s a he gives Fighters a problem so because of his speed and because of his accuracy.
I noticed that his accuracy is amazing kind of like a Terence Crawford kind of guy.
His accuracy is amazing, so I’m really looking at it.
It’S uh he’s in the uh featherweight division, which is 112 pounds.
Eight stone, uh, 50.
8 kilograms.
I don’t talk a lot about these kind of smaller guys.
We always talk about the heavyweights, the welters, the middles.
You know light Heavies and stuff like that.
But you know what this one is about: the flyweights, it’s uh, it’s gon na be a great fight.
It’S going to be a really good fight, but I truly believe that you know Tommy, Frank is a good fighter, so he got there through heart, hard work and this and that he deserves a fight like this all best to him, but I’m I’m taking uh galal.
All right, I’m taking ufai in uh, I think he’s gon na stop him in the fifth, maybe sixth round it’s going to be a stoppage and uh.
That’S what I’m that’s, what I’m calling right there! So it’s going to be broadcast on the Zone, all right, 2 p.
m.
Eastern Standard Time, 11 A.
M, Pacific time and 7 P.
M.
British standard time.
So of course, because they’re fighting in England, the British get the 7 PM, which is fine.
You know what I’m saying I like that part about that.
Now, if you were a betting guy on this one, there’s no money involved, I really wouldn’t be uh, putting any ding on it unless you’re uh.
This is pretty much a slam dunker and in my mind, uh galal is uh: 20 minus 2500 and uh Tommy Frank is plus a thousand, so I mean they’re, both British guys, they’re, going to fight for their uh for the right to fight, and I think it’ll Be good, I think, it’ll be a good fight, but uh galal is just gon na uh.
You know rise above and he’s gon na, be somebody to watch guys here at talk and fight, we’ll be talking about Gala, YIFY and uh check that fight out.
I’M really looking forward to it.
It’S gon na be a good one.
Apparently too he’s the like WBO International, Junior, lightweight champion or uh sorry Junior Flyway Champion, so he does have a belt.
I don’t know exactly, but if you guys have any comments about the belt, the WBO International Belt, let me know, there’s so many belts we’re going to talk about this going forward about all these sanctioning uh bodies who have different uh names for their divisions and different Kinds of belts there’s like like it’s it we’re going to talk about it because it’s starting to get a bit confusing, but at the same time good on him he’s an international world champion.
But he wants the big belts, as you know, and he’s already ranked 4-0 with three Knockouts.
So that’s pretty good.
So moving on I’d like to uh I’d like to say thanks a lot to everybody, we’ve been doing really well here, uh at talk and fight.
I want to thank all the hosts, the sponsors uh, the guys behind the scenes.
They’Ve been doing amazing stuff for us and, of course, you, the fans.
