What up talking fight fans thanks for tuning in oh also, knockout fans? Thanks for tuning in to this week’s episode of the knockout of the week award featuring yours truly mike or i’m a man, cedric ben in the den bringing you the greatest knockout of the weekend, and let you know what happened during this great weekend of boxing uh.
We got to get right into it.
Man we got a couple of honorable mentions, but none other than the our winner is none other than triple g baby, triple g, doing it big 40 years old, uh, ryota marita, what a great fight man uh! Let’S break it down for them: cedric yeah, yeah, yeah um, i uh.
It was a good good stoppage by triple g.
He like he broke him down, punch by punch like like systemically he’s like slowly chopping down a tree um.
At the end, it was one punch that knocked him out, but it really started from like the around the seventh round, where um the body language from morata, just kind of showed, where he had his hands up, where he’s more in in in survival mode um, like You know just keeping just making sure that he didn’t get knocked out at the time um this guy carol.
What up girl this guy’s funny uh um, so yeah he um yeah broke him down.
Wasn’T the one the one punch did stop him, but i think it started from the seventh round on um one punch at a time.
You know they both were landing, but the effectiveness of triple g’s punches were just that much more effective.
Once glovking got into a rhythm, however, the long time middleweight champion, you know battered the courageous japanese title holder over the final three plus rounds of their middleweight title unification, fight glove could eventually drop meyer in the ninth round uh and stopped him in a main event.
This weekend it was great referee, the referee lewis, i believe it was louis pavon uh stopped their boat at 220, 211 of the ninth round, because murray’s trainer threw in the towel after he went down.
Uh glovkin uh retained his ibf uh middleweight title and won the wba super 160 pound crown from mariota uh glovkin, who turned 40 on friday.
Guys uh fought for the first time in 15 and a half months and uh before he beat uh marita.
He had boxed uh, he hadn’t boxed, since he dominated over match mandatory challenger uh camille uh in december of 2020.
.
So uh, you know the hard-hitting glove can drop.
Poland zermita with uh four times on his way to beating him in the technical knockout after the seventh round of the main event uh the zone streamed from hard rock hotel casino in florida.
So you know this is a big.
This is a big thing.
Man for him to get in there.
You know at 40 years old, it’s hard to you know, take that kind of time off from uh.
You know not being in the ring and uh come back with a vengeance like he did man.
But yes, definitely he looked a little looked a little rusty in the beginning in the first couple of rounds there, but once he got into that swing of things, guys uh, you know it was.
It was triple g, it was, it was what he does.
Yeah yeah, exactly exactly what you said there um, i think uh, maybe because he at four years old he did get get off to a little bit of a slow start.
Just going back to my scorecards because i had, i gave jim g the first two rounds rounds.
Three and four actually gave to murata right, um and then but then rounds five and six.
I gave to triple g, but i i marked both of those as close rounds.
So you know it’s like you know.
Triple g got a little wake-up call.
You took a little bit longer for the engine to warm up yeah, definitely and so, and so we start to to pour it on and triple.
G is very interesting in his in his fighting style as far as combinations, because he didn’t exactly throw like flowing combinations.
He throws just random, like not necessarily pun.
You know punches that you would practice all the time he just throws.
Random punches, like i like to call sing single punch, combinations right, not just like not just the flurry but it’ll be like boom boom boom like and so that’s that’s.
You know i just.
I appreciate that power punching combination, style and uh yeah yeah.
He slowly just broke broke morata down.
He broke him down.
I agree with carl man from round five all triple g for me, uh same same as uh what i was watching, uh.
You know triple g uh in round five really just started to pick apart.
My marita and uh, you know just broke them down and took them the distance and uh.
You know what what a great stoppage uh you know.
I i don’t blame the corner for throwing in the towel the way it happened uh.
Definitely they were looking out for their man, yes, very good stoppage.
I appreciate when corners uh, you know think of the the the the fighter’s life over his career right.
You got ta think about these things, so yeah definitely definitely um.
So you know what shout out shout out to uh our man triple g coming through with the knockout of the week uh, you know shout out to ryotarita uh.
You know great sportsman uh.
You know triple g now, uh sitting on top of the world right now, with this win, you know the wba super world middle title and the international boxing federation world middle title uh.
You know we’re it’s only time, we’ll tell us to see where he goes from here.
I can’t wait uh.
You know the man is 40 years old uh.
What what a! What a serious uh feat of strength really and to show that at 40 years old, then you can hit.
You know, hold your own with these young cats out there and uh.
You know it was brilliant.
I want to give a shout out to on the same card man, uh junto, nakatani um, the japanese boxer man, taking on uh his opponent man and came through with that big tko in the eighth round.
Uh for the world boxing organization, world fly title uh.
The time was um 2 20 of the eighth round.
Out of the 12 round bout, honestly, nakatani was winning up until the stoppage anyway uh.
You know this.
Kid is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the flyweight division.
Man look out for him.
I’Ve profiled this kid many times: junto nakatani he’s a young cat, he’s now improved to 23.
0 23-0 with 18 knockouts uh.
You know 18 knockouts this little flyweight man south.
You know he’s a southpaw 5’7, with a 67 inch reach from japan he’s only 24 years old man he’s one of these uh one of these guys to watch out to he’s he’s another uh.
You know uh inui pretty much and uh.
You know, honestly.
I got ta give another shout out: man, um fendora, let’s uh.
Let’S talk about that.
The uh sebastian fedor and eric erickson lubin fight um.
Both these guys dropped each other uh in the fight, and i must say i have never seen a face transform as much as i saw a face transform from rounds, one to nine it completely morphed lubin’s face uh.
If you guys didn’t have a chance to watch this uh, if you haven’t seen the pictures yet i was saying i was talking to my friend earlier today.
I was saying like uh, you know back in the old school you you threaten someone like.
Oh, i swear to god i’ll rearrange your face, that’s what he literally did to him.
Yeah literally rearranged his face, another good stoppage by the corner, kevin cunningham and and um i’m not trying to swear but f the people that threw ice at at the corner.
Yeah! No, that was really good.
That was bull, crap man.
What do you guys like see? That’S what i mean you, you have to value the the person’s life over there, the money that you think they can make just by surviving and continuing on man.
You know say i always tell people there’s no, no coming back from from permanent brain damage, so you know this burn risk that that just aren’t worth it man, you know, but honestly after after watching that fight, i don’t know if his face is gon na.
Go back the same to be honest man, uh guys, if you haven’t seen the pictures, uh we’ll we’ll, definitely drop a link to it in the comments, so you guys can check it out.
Uh huge, huge, uh difference in the way his face.
Looks man um.
You know fender began to apply a lot of pressure in the second round and took the fight to lubin uh, who was willing to stand and trade on the inside uh fedora.
Staggered lubin’s chin and dropped him with an uppercut in the closing seconds uh.
At the start of the seventh lumen appeared to be on the verge of getting stopped, but then he hurt fender with a big hook and landed several more hooks to force.
Yes – and you know to luban’s credit, he did fight back.
He he was man he he was fighting, it’s tough, to say that he was fighting good when you see his face after the fight but like he was doing the best that he could um, because it’s kind of contradicting like just psychologically when you think about when You’Re fighting a taller person when you’re fighting a taller person – ideally you you would, you would say, get on the inside, so they can.
You can get to their body and head, but with fun door.
He wants you to be on his that’s his where he um excels.
So then it’s kind of messed up thinking this guy’s.
It has a you know, five inch reach on me, but i’m better to stay on the outside yeah.
So i was thinking it’s not necessary on the outside, but more lateral movement like side to side movement.
So so that’s definitely you know he can’t sit up and just use his uh, even though he’s the same weight that that that extra height that he has just leaning on you, like kind of how how fear tyson fury, uses his weight when he leans on someone Against the ropes that just takes takes more energy out of you, it’s surprising, though, a guy who’s, six, five and a half with an 80 inch reach uh, you know he’s very comfortable on the inside.
It’S uh.
It is a different kind of style of fighting meant for somebody who’s so tall and long who can literally keep these guys at a distance but definitely likes to fight on the inside uh.
You know fedora did congratulate uh lubin’s corner, for you know, throwing in the towel man.
Let’S let you know during the night fender was unloading with lots of shots and seemed to be close to a stoppage, uh win when the bell rang.
You know uh by the seventh uh.
The face of lubin was severely swollen on both sides and he was bleeding from the nose and his mouth.
So you know it was a great stoppage.
I you know give a shout out to his corner for really protecting their fighter.
Man, kevin cunningham good for you uh way to protect your fighters, uh.
Also man back in action, ryan, garcia.
We got ta talk about this quick um.
You know big big, big big win.
Last night man unanimous decision uh, you know tango was down in round two uh, but you know they went the distance last night, great fight man, great return for garcia, who i believe was another one 15 month or out of the ring yeah yeah.
He needs to get more busy to be in in the mix.
Three consider i know uh um i was talking this morning like he was.
You know he’s he’s he’s still in the mix socially yeah, because the popular that’s that’s the reason why his name is still in the mix, but as far as boxing wise, you know, you know he’s not in the mix.
He needs to need to be more busy.
Like if he can get another fight in august and then again in december, or something like that just to again just that for life, a better term getting more in the mix, because the only thing that’s keeping him relevant now is how popular he is on.
On social media, definitely like we’re talking about uh, you know his last fight was with luke campbell back january, the 2nd of 2021 and uh.
You know: that’s that’s a long time to be out of the ring man, especially when you’re in the hunt for these world titles and you’re supposed to be uh.
You know in the mix with everybody else, uh carl.
What are you saying here? Connor ben fights next week: yes, hype train down for that huge uh talking about coming to the uk next to fight maxi, hughes cool and he wants to bring in over equal great fight, yeah man, yeah yeah, the media yeah.
You are right, carl, that damn social media um honestly at the same time, like you, said financially as a promoter, you know it is smart to consider that, because he does, he does bring in the money um.
But at the same time you know you you still have to to back it up with the boxing skills.
You know comparing him to like oscar de la hoya, again, socially yeah socially.
He is you can compare him to that because he’s popular like that de la hoya did it in the round two.
So that’s that’s the only difference he needs to to to do it in the ring too.
So yeah um, you know what shout out to our runner up: uh, tristan kelcruth uh and his knockout uh over um, the heavyweights santander silgado, the one that i sent you uh.
We could only find the video in another language this morning.
Definitely that was a nice uh runner up a great great one-two combination that laid uh his opponent down on his back, so shout out to kristen.
Tell kel gruth uh he’s our runner-up for this week.
Definitely some uh great! You know what shout out to [ __ ] shout out to all the fighters this weekend, man that echoes i’m telling you guys.
If you watch the michaela mayor card uh, you know big win in her in her part but uh.
Let me tell you man, only two of those two of those fights went, the distance.
The rest were all knockouts.
What a great show man uh, what a great event, definitely uh one to watch.
If you guys haven’t had a chance – and you can go back and watch that one from start to finish – it’s definitely a good pay-per-view or sorry a good event to watch.
I don’t even know if it was a pay-per-view, because i get to watch them all for free, but you know what you’re there: what kind of channel is this? What kind of channel is this? It was? It was another language.
I i don’t know what language it was, but uh yeah.
It was the only video i could find of this, because it was a prelim fight and uh yeah guys.
You know man, i’m watching all these young cats and i’m always watching these prelims and sometimes the videos are not in the right language.
So that is what it is, but if you guys get a chance man, google that you’ll like to see that knockout.
That’S the runner-up for this week’s talking note of the week, but our winner this week is none other than triple g uh.
What a way to celebrate his 40th birthday with a big win, a new belt and uh the winner of our wonderful prestigious knockout of the week award carl stop beating me out brother.
You know i can’t you know.
I can’t be giving up my secrets on how i watch these things for free, uh, anyways, guys, man, uh boxing guys the boxing gods take care of us yo trust me.
I won’t drop the soap man i’ll be wearing it around my neck, bro yeah.
The boxing guys watch over us to make sure that we don’t get in trouble watching these fights, but guys you know what it is man, it’s the knockout of the week.
This goes out to our man triple g uh, you wan na you wan na mention anything before we sign off here: um nah man, i just hope to triple g, and obviously they said his next next fight’s gon na be against canelo, i’m assuming in late summer Or yeah early september um it’s going to be interesting man.
It’S going to be interesting because uh, you know, we never know when uh when, when the reflexes and reaction time is going to slow down, i know golovkin is is uh.
You know we obviously we’ve never met him personally, but i’m assuming he’s one of those guys that you know doesn’t go partying in between fights or not like that.
You know he seems, like he’s, he’s pretty disciplined and pretty focused when he’s, even when he’s not boxing.
So when he gets in there with canelo again, it’s just going to be interesting to see if the re, the re, the reflexes and reaction time are still there or have they slowed down yet because the power’s still there, obviously the power we saw that last night.
We saw that last night he’s still delivering good power um, i’m just worried about the uh that slow start.
You can’t slow start against canelo man, that’s that’s one of those things and i’m just hoping.
That was the fact that he’s been out of the ring for 15 months, and it was a little bit of ring rust um.
You know they just got to get him in there and get some uh get some good sparring on man to get rid of that.
Get him to shake that and get comfortable again man, because you know what sitting out of the ring at 40 years old for that amount of time can do huge things, man all right guys.
You know what it is.
It’S your man mike r and cedric ben in the den bringing you the knockout of the week uh shout out to our winner, triple g, guys, we’ll post a link to this uh.
