Why? I mean how I’m breaking this down.
Tonight is um by continent right because a lot it it’s become redundant, the names have become redundant.
We talk about the same broads, pretty much all the time, because those same broads have pretty much become uh, celebrity celebrities.
Okay, so they’re no longer just uh female boxers or women, boxers they’ve become popular names that people know and make reference to because uh people don’t really know too much too many other names and and any other details of you know the other broads.
The other wonderful great fighters in the industry of women’s boxing, okay, so tonight, I’m going to take that moment to Spotlight the world’s best okay and there’s a lot of women’s out here.

You know it’s.
It’S behind! Love now um: this is the pound for pound or standing or all the women pound for pound, who are the best women, the best women behaving badly in Africa on record, okay, so lovely assistant.
Can we start off with my first image? Please? Okay, all right! So um, like I said you know, these names pray for me, y’all, just oh and and any kind of any kind of religion every any kind of you you talk to who you know um the the first body on the list yeah for pound for pound Africa Is um and she’s ranked number one? Okay is uh super bantamweight out of Zimbabwe.
Her name is Cuda.
I think okay she’s 27 years old and um goodness she.
My her record, misses me.
I oh there’s her record right.
There are six wins, um and two losses: uh four wins by KO, so she sub 10 y’all.
But according to the world rankings – and I go off a box wreck or because box wreck has everybody, even though they may be involved in some Shenanigans in Okie dokely stuff right, they do have a database that comprises all Talent, uh, together and and from what I See it’s.
It is not a manipulated and bought list.
Okay, so uh uh kurawashi is a sub 10 fighter, she’s a bantamweight but she’s ranked number one pound per pound in the continent of Africa um.
I wasn’t I I I’m not familiar with the footage on such uh such an athlete, but for her to be ranked number one in Africa um with sub 10.
Fights should mean that you know she’s the most impressive performer in the con on the continent.
Okay, uh lovely assistant: let’s go on to the next um right, so then we got Ellen uh, Sim Waka, who now Ellen, has a good amount of fights under her belt.
Okay, so she has a 19 fights yeah, so 12 plus 12 wins eight by Kos.
Five losses and two draws okay now um this is this is a pretty real record.
You guys um it.
It shows that she has been in there.
She has um gone the rounds.
She does have some uh experience.
That should be noted.
Okay, she’s ranked number two in the continent of Africa: she’s a super lightweight, okay and she’s out of South Africa um.
She is uh Ellen she’s, 25 years old, okay, so she has some good time in the game: um and she’s out of Malawi, Okay.
So this this here, I I believe and she’s super Bantam right.
So this is a.
This is a pretty um.
This wake class can be pretty valuable.
Okay, because she can.
She has competition on other continents that can build her value, her her value in the market.
Uh by fighting these other names that you will see um on the other continents who are pound for pound, which is what we want to do that.
What what a fighter wants to do? Um build the value in their name: recognition, lovely assistant, one down.
Let’S see his names, I said all right, so we got uh.
Sarah Ashan and I Sarah’s been around for a while.
I’M surprised that um Sarah is only sporting 17 fights.
Okay.
Sarah has been, oh goodness, um.
I’M hearing that my um I’m hearing that my audio may be muffled you guys but ain’t nothing and I’m clear um.
Let’S see um all right.
So it looks like I’m sorry, you guys I’ll slow down um right, so Sarah’s been in the game for a while.
Sarah I mean I I’m felt like I would have possibly uh had a chance to fight Sarah.
When I was actively boxing.
Okay, um.
Couldn’T you you know what lovely assistant I think you done got my um yeah.
I think you didn’t got the the names mixed up, but okay, we we’re gon na um lucky lucky thing: I got the list okay, so Sarah ashing is ranked number five in Africa: okay and she’s out of Kenya, she’s 35 years old and she hasn’t been around A while um, if anything, Sarah, has experience in the game um her numbers may not speak it, but she’s been around um.
I know she’s going around.
I know she has tried because she was she started or she got started when things weren’t so popular even over.
Here for women’s boxing, so I know it must have been tough for her to get some some movement or you know some momentum over there in Africa, good fighter heavy hands um.
She she is she’s.
Her style is not as refined, but she is um.
I would say she’s a phlegmatic fighter, meaning she goes she.
She moves off of the the um energy of the crowd and she’s a pressure fighter.
She’S gon na stay in your face: she’s, not um.
Her style is just pressure and and she’s gon na put hands on you and she hits she has very heavy hands.
Half of her kales, um or half of her record is or RKOs.
So that’s something to be noted for anyone that would be fighting Sarah.
I I look forward to seeing Sarah fight.
You know, uh top opposition out there she’s been around long enough.
She has a good enough record for her to make some money.
Finally, she’s super lightweight, and I know she can go all the way up to welterweight.
If, if the the challenge is there so um ranked number five in Africa, Sarah, okay, uh lovely assistant, who you got next, let’s see all right, so we got uh, Lena kazucca, okay, she is a sub 10 fighter.
She just started okay and she’s, a bantamweight she’s out of Zambia.
She is ranked at number six in Africa, um yeah, uh, she’s she’s out.
Isn’T it so she’s ranked at number six she’s 25 years old? She has some time to grow in the game.
If she wants to keep doing this, she has Sports a pretty decent record: sub 10 uh, seven wins with three Kos and one loss so um at this weight band of weight, Leonard also she at banaway.
She has the opportunity to travel in me and and make some money and build a name for herself in uh in the industry.
She also has.
There are other Africans, uh African women within the continent, that she can challenge and and and build some some value and and um momentum with women’s boxing over there on African soil.
So, let’s hope that she’s, a part of building that that that interest in women’s boxing over in in Africa for the bantamweight division next lady for this Women’s Day, episode.
Okay, so we got book, give way no nina okay and we got uh, let’s see Okay, so she is ranked number seven in Africa.
She is South African and she’s 31 years old Sports.
A great record 19 wins four losses.
One draw okay, so well.
Over 10 fights she’s um, she has 4kos so yeah and she she can potentially hurt you um and she has been ko’d twice so she’s tasted that KO defeat two times but she’s still in the game.
I had a draw, so she you you could tell that she she’s invested this.
One here is invested, she’s, not trying to be nobody’s opponent, she’s trying to be champion and she’s still got a a good winning record.
So at um super featherweight.
She has a great chance of fighting opposition over here on on North American soil uh, South American.
She she’s in in a good weight class where she can make top dollar for her efforts in the boxing ring so um at rank.
Let’S see it rank number seven in the continent of Africa.
She can use that and leverage it and get some money in her pocket all right.
Next, lady next, lady, Okay.
So this one: where is she on my list? All right, uh, Sheridan, uh Fortune, uh 13? Wins two losses: one draw out of out of the uh 16 fights that she’s had she knocked three contenders out that she has faced okay, she is ranked number nine in Africa pound for pound, okay, she’s, 28 years old, and at excuse me y’all at bantamweight.
She she has excuse me guys she has the opportunity to travel overseas and get some money in her pockets.
Okay, now I’m I’m talking about money in the pockets and all of that stuff.
You guys why we’re going over this this way, because it goes over everyone’s head um with the business of women’s boxing is okay and The Business of women’s boxing is not just to win, but the business is to have value behind your name.
You may even have a belt okay, you can have a belt in women’s boxing, but that don’t mean you’re going to get paid, that cheddar right and at the end of the day, it’s a business.
It’S no longer.
I want to be the baddest chick right.
It’S about um, putting money in my pocket, I’m able to provide for myself and my family by Behaving Badly.
Okay, so in Africa, in all of Africa, um uh sheridine is ranked uh.
Sheridine is ranked at number nine and she’s South African, okay, she’s 28 years old, got some time to bloom and Blossom and build that build that uh value to her name.
So I’m looking forward to see where what this record, where this record goes, she has a winning record.
13 wins only two losses, so she’s not trying to be out here, uh being anybody’s opponent, okay, she’s not trying to be no loser, no career loser right.
She wants to make it to the top and it’s women’s day, so she gets featured as one of the best in Africa who’s this chiming in Eddie, Barrington, hey, Eddie and and comes in with the flowers.

Give a woman give a woman flowers, it doesn’t matter, it’s not it’s not cheesy.
It’S not corny y’all give that woman, her flowers and you get what you want.
It’Ll start with a smile, though you might have to do a little bit more but start off with okay um and I used to I mean back in the day I used to say I hate flowers, because I used to get flowers, okay, but low-key.
You bring it home and you have it.
You know you feel.
Like oh shoot, you know someone thought about me um, to give me such a beautiful, delicate gift of flowers.
So, like I said, um give the gal some flowers.
Thank you Eddie for chiming in and it’s women’s day and uh.
It’S just on the the show tonight, just featuring all the pound for pound women of the world, of all the continents, starting this we’re, starting with Africa and um.
Just mentioning some of the contenders that don’t get their names uh brought up like the celebrity women’s boxers out here: okay, so top in Africa, okay, lovely assistant next image.
Please please, please yeah! We got a lot tonight, okay, and so we got Ruth uh chiselle.
Okay and Ruth is ranked number 10 pound for pound in in Africa.
She’S out of Malawi, okay, um 12 wins two losses: zero draws, seven Kos out of the 12 wins okay and she has not been ko’d okay, but she has tasted defeat twice, winning record.
I like it.
I like it, I’m liking what it it’s looking like.
Uh numbers wise for these.
Ladies now, what I want to see all right are these names build and help build other contenders on the continent of Africa, which these ladies, are doing, um from what I’ve noticed and what I’ve seen in these rankings and and on these receipts, the on the receipts Of these women, they’re actually being put in there with other contenders who are comparable, uh skill, wise and also uh experience wise, and that’s what I like about that.
I I like about the African women’s pound for pound um.
It’S not you, don’t see where it’s being bought uh these these women are going in there and may the baddest broad win and get her name on the list, which is something that is going to organically, develop the quality of fighter woman Fighter coming out of Africa.
So, like I said, I’m looking forward to the talent that’s emerging from uh such a large great continent and, like I said, ain’t, nobody trying to be paid.
The opponent high-end opponents high and losers they’re trying to be championed out here all right African baddies, all right.
So now we’re gon na go to the other continent of Asia.
Okay, lovely assistant – please now look at this.
You wouldn’t have thought now.
Would you ebony Bridges is ranked number one pound for pound, Australia and Australia is considered a part of Asia yeah.
This is a part of this is on the box direct um Asian rankings.
Okay, so um bantamweight, ebony Bridges is nine, wins one loss no draws.
Okay and four of her nine wins have been chaos and, as I’ve said before, I’m very impressed with this.
This fighter.
Ebony Bridges, she’s she’s, just a great performer inside the ring, as well as outside, outside the ring, as well as inside the ring.
She knows how to uh chat for herself.
She knows how to sell herself out there and she knows how to draw on what her strengths are outside the ring and inside the ring.
I like her she’s 36 years old, though she’s in Chrome ship, so she has she’s in Peak, so she has about four more years.
I would say to um to really mature and to come into her own in that ring and and get as much as she can from the industry before she starts getting too long in the tooth and she may have to change her game, but so far, so Good she’s, looking good and and, like I said, very impressed, uh lovely assistant, which who was the second okay.
Oh my gosh, this is not number two, so this is Shanika.
Johnson is actually ranked number three in um in in Asia: okay in in the region of Asia, where she’s out of Australia and Australia, like I said, has been um uh has been included in the region of Asia, so Shanika Johnson is ranked number three pound for Pound uh in in that region of Asia, she’s 15 uh wins one lost.
Zero draws: okay, 15 of her rents, six 15 out of 15 wins six have been by KO okay, so uh Shanika Johnson is um a super bandweight and, like I said you know, there’s there’s a lot of traction.
There’S a lot of opportunity overseas for sure Nica.
As well as I would I I guess, on Mainland um, well, not so much because I looked, I looked she, I think she’s um, unless she’s going through on her own on her own um in her own country.
I believe one two I I believe she may have she may have one other boom.
She may have two or three other bantamweights that she can contend with.
But what what’s what happens? Is you know in order to build the money right, you want to build a following.
You want every everybody in Australia to know that you are the baddest bantamweight right, you, you are the one that behaves the baddest right.
So when you do travel overseas and you get do get those opportunities to show yourself and show what you’ve got and perform, you have the whole country behind you right and then some other fans where now you become valuable um.
I got somebody in here.
Okay, let’s see the boxing wizard says this is so refreshing to see a female talking boxing respect to you Miss well, thank you very much.
The boxing wizard I love talking boxing.
I’Ve lived it.
I’Ve lived it for most of my life, uh being a fighter myself.
Okay, so it’s something that I ate, I slept I dranked I made love to and I fought with most of my life, so I love to too I love to to talk boxing period um and not just female boxing, but boxing period with with anybody.
So thanks for tuning in the boxing wizard um, so today, seeing as it’s women’s day, yes International women’s day, if y’all ain’t know about that now you know and what I’m doing on the sugar show tonight is I’m featuring all the pound for pound baddies from the From the continent from the different continents of the world right because, like I said, we have the celebrity boxers that everyone pretty much knows their names they’re being pushed now.
But you know what happened to the other baddies, the other broads that behave badly on the same on the same continent and in the same country.
They deserve some of this Spotlight too.
Okay and we want so.
We just want to speak their names and and and introduce them on the sugar platform uh to those who want to sit here and see them uh.
The boxing wizard says happy women’s day.
Why thank you thank you, uh the boxing wizard um and and gave me some hearts too.
Oh, my God, listen! The boxing wizard! Listen! That’S why the sugar sugar love to get loved on, I like to fight, but I just love to get loved on too.
So, thank you for the hearts.
I really appreciate that stuff.
It’S the little things y’all, it’s the little things.
Trust me um size is not a big deal for me.
Stop it stop it listen y’all all right! I oh y’all always tend to get me going there and y’all know I’m I’m Ruby Scott’s granddaughter right.
If y’all don’t know, if y’all know anything about Ruby Scott, she she just loved to get naughty she’s.
My my grandmother would sit there with her friends on that.
Porch, okay, especially on a nice, warm hot, warm the hot summer evening, uh drinking drinking um beverage we used to call beverage or what they call uh julep uh down south okay.
So you could you you can mix it muddle.
Some mint leaves with some um sugar and water, okay or you can squeeze some lemon and some mint leaves, and sugar and water.
Anything like that right with some ice right and rock back and forth on that chair right and talk that talk with your friends.
The good, the bad, the ugly and the naughty and I used to sit there on the stoop being nosy listening to Grown Folk talk they business.
Ah I miss those days.
You don’t even see that happening.
No more huh! You see nothing like that happen.
No more! Everybody is it ain’t, nothing like the olden days.
I tell you that much anyway, back to the topic back to the topic: okay, so Shanika um, super bantamweight out of Australia, ranked number three pound for pound in Asia, okay and next next, next lovely assistant.
Okay.
So we got uh ranked number four in Asia: okay, uh, noko, uh, fujioka; okay, excuse the name; okay, I’m trying my best but um.
No NOCO is 19, wins three losses in one draw: okay out of Japan, yeah, okay and it should have fallen in Japan.
They love boxing in Japan, oh I I mean more more Fighters or more fights, especially women’s fights, need to happen in Japan and they they like they like um boxing and and they they do support women’s boxing over there I was treated.
I was treated nicely.
Uh handed a raw stanking deal right because I beat up fujin Rika, but nonetheless it was a great trip.
Um now uh noko is 47 years old, y’all.
Okay, so noko is a damn dragon in this game.
Still fighting okay has a mask: uh.
19.
20.
21.
22.
uh 23 fights, okay, still doing it.
Seven out of the 19 wins are by knockout.
So this one ain’t playing in there, okay, uh noko, is a flyweight, okay, um and and then being a flyweight you’re gon na have.
To I mean this, is these: are the smaller weights down there and unfortunately, in the market, there’s not much demand for the smaller weight Fighters um to fight on the platforms, even though there’s a good amount of them, but the value that the values not there as Much why uh? I think people still want to see bully in the ring, meaning they want to see.
Uh people get knocked around and you know they they want that push and pull.
They want the physicality of it and these smaller weights.
They they really just go in, and you know they’re they’re running their hands, they’re moving and running their hands ain’t.
Nobody putting that thunder, clap on each other at the smaller weights right so uh it.
It would be a great thing if we had a a woman or a female version of what Pacquiao was meaning that you know we had a a where we have a female fighter that starts at a lower weight and and whoops ass and and knocks them out.
You know right on into say, uh, a more popular, the more popular uh, lightweight division right so start from small and and and get bigger and better um as they come.
The boxing wizard says uh you’re very welcome.
I was raised by a single mother.
I respect females, you have a captivating Persona, I must say very elegant and intellectual, something which is rare these days.
Ugh, listen, stop it.
We we out here in cyberspace everyone’s once I like that um.
Yes, thank you um boxing wizard for forgiving props to us, women who I mean I I I’m a single mom myself.
You know I was married and then I became a single mother fighting and raising my my child.
You know and that I have a son, and you know he’s a I I did my best.
You know we we all do our best and um.
I think single mothers do deserve that that Cape, because, because single mothers are super uh because as a mother, I’m gon na say this as a mother, I don’t know it’s just something as soon as we as soon as we become that we decide to become that, Because there are some women who tell them they, they give birth and they have children, but they don’t sign up for the mother role and I guess you know it’s.
Okay.
I don’t judge nobody.
Okay, but once you sign up okay, you, you do everything in your power to give to that little being or to that person.
Now that you’ve brought into this world you wan na you wan na, know more.
You want to give more.
You want other people in this world to to contribute and help this.
This person be the best that they can be um and and even more so as as single mothers um.
I remember I I find that as a mother.
Not only do I want good for my own child, but I see others as children of of somebody’s mother.
You know they some they have.
I look at it this way.
You know everyone has a mother and whether whether that mother wanted you or not at the end of the day, she wants the best for you, okay, whether she, whether she decide to keep you or not, because we have a lot of these situations.
A lot of people feel unloved because of how things worked out, um with their mothers, but know this.
There has to be some form of love for us to sacrifice our bodies and a part of our lives and ourselves to bring life here into this world.
Okay, so don’t ever think that you’re out here alone and don’t ever think that your mother did not or does not have any love for you.
She might have difficulty understanding what that means with regards to you and who you are in her life and what she’s done, but all mothers all mothers have love for what they brought into this world.
Um, the The Single Moms, or I would say this – I wanted the world to be a better place.
I I said: oh, I want the world to be a better place before I became a mom, but I really felt that when I became a mother, why? Because I I wanted this world, I was all I had to offer this being that I brought into the world, is the world right, and I just felt compelled to do my part even more so now, because this person is going to live in this world to Make the world a better place.
So when I look at others, I look at others as they’re their mother’s child.
I got ta take care of them like how I would want someone to take care of my child right, whether they’re rude, whether they’re nasty, whether they’re, good, good, bad ugly.
You got a mother, your mother, and you are your mother’s child and I’m a and I’m going to respect your mother and treat you like somebody like like uh.
She would want you to be treated um, hey about uh, you know, mother, being a mother, single moms, and even though, even though the moms who aren’t single moms, we want our.
We want the best we all want the best when we wear that hat the boxing wizard comes in and says single mothers are superheroes same for single fathers.
I completely agree, oh my gosh and and single fathers too.
Why? Because uh single fathers have to tap into a side of themselves that um is probably not in as encouraged as much in society right.
It is real.
It’S a real thing right.
I remember um, my daddy, my daddy um would because my mom uh, my mom went away uh to school.
At times she was away, and my daddy my dad had to play single dad um for me and my siblings for a little bit – and I have I mean sugar – you see how sugar look now, but sugar had has a lot of hair.
Okay, a lot of hair – and I remember my daddy doing his best to comb my hair in the mornings before school, and what I tell you you know I used to have one ponytail here here and he did and tried his best tried his best um.
I used to just sit there and I knew my dad was trying my best and know that he was.
I was feeling a little crazy going to school, with all these damn ponytails and and he tried and tried he used to be still and uh.
He used to be like it’s, okay, I’d be like yeah, Daddy yeah and then, when I got on the bus, I’d be crying because I knew that new hair looked a mess, but I never let my daddy know know that and he just got better and better And he um and just felt better and more confident about what he could do for me as a single dad at the time cooking dinner.
There was so when it first started that my daddy’s an excellent cook now, but what I tell you my dad used to put some stuff together that boy you you had, I it’s, because we love Daddy.
While we ate it right, we used to have baloney and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Yeah get the protein in with the peanut butter and jelly oh and he used to add cheese.
Sometimes, and let me tell you something that thing slap sometimes, I still put together a good Bologna, cheese, peanut butter and jelly sandwich uh to pay homage to my dirty um, but he’s my my daddy.
You know, as a single dad just became confident in what he could do and and the time that he spent and gave us uh was invaluable.
So yes, shout outs to single parents and shout out to the parents who are doing it together, because it also takes a lot to work together in raising one individual to be a representation of both of you out here in this world.
So yeah you guys um.
The boxing wizard comes in to say: did you know we all collect our mother’s cells in the womb before birth, when when we are uh, it’s our mom’s cells inside our body that help us heal uh? I read old literature, it’s amazing to think about.
Look at that, I’m I’m just the boxing wizard.
I love having these conversations, because you know what it’s not.
I translate that to so many things right.
Were you saying that it’s the mother? It’S your mother’s cells that you take with you from out of her womb into this world that helps you heal right, because I tell you because sometimes right, you get hit that blow in life and sometimes you’re by yourself when you get that hit with that.
That hurt – and you wish you had someone to hug you someone to love on you, someone that you can just lay that pain on and to know that it’s your mother’s cells that help you heal right gives me gives me security.
Give me that that um faith that I’m gon na be all right, because as long as my mom as long as my mom got something to do with it, I know I’m gon na, be all right and – and that’s to me, that’s just nature showing just the The the power of motherhood, right it ain’t just a hug, it ain’t just a kiss.
It ain’t.
Just saying, like I said to you to you guys out there, even though you may not have the greatest relationship with your mom relationship, because there’s certain things that happen in life, that uh stifles us from loving others and and and projecting uh that love that we Should um, especially as mothers, there are things that stop us but nature right, regardless of how she may act.
She has sent you into this world with that power of healing that you’re gon na be all right if you become hurt you’re gon na heal, because you pull those Hells because your mom has given you that ability to heal the boxing wizard says it’s a miracle And people don’t view it, as so, for people who have sadly lost their mother take heed that she is still with you spiritually emotionally and helps you heal.
Uh testify.
I can testify.
Okay: yes, yes right so you’re, never alone, and that’s the beautiful thing about being Being Human or a human being right.
Um.
Is that the way we have come into this on onto this plane this Earth?

I promise you I’m telling you listen to what I’m telling you listen to what I say um.
So I think through me – and this last name always gets me.
Okay, you guys um it’s from Vietnam, okay, I’m not even going to butcher the last name, um uh, gin or Yin, I think, is the last name.
Okay is a sub 10 fighter.
Okay, 26 years old, all right minimum weight out of Vietnam, so uh, I don’t I’m not sure I think uh.
She might be the only fighter of her.
The boxer boxer, um female boxer out of Vietnam, um from what I saw on the pound from pound ranking.
But nah she’s is she in there and she looked like she in it to win it too, because she went she went ahead and and got six damn fights.
Okay, so she’s trying to win out here too, and I like it: okay, ain’t, nothing, stopping shorty from Behaving Badly, uh Omar Johnson comes in Sean, said, hey Omar, saying everyone leave a like for show.
I always forget to tell y’all, but y’all should know this by now.
Leave a like, like share, subscribe, cause, always a party when we link up and it’s always a good time.
You guys come on now.
You know it.
You know it all right now: lovely assistant, let’s roll on to the next picture, where the next one who you what’s the next one, because we all out of order more than never for this, for this slide show to for for this slideshow to move on and Y’All know sugar will get the coffin on this dag on on the show.
Y’All been there.
The for those who are hard are true, so sugar.
Now she she bringing in her little drinky drink.
Trust me it’s it’s.
It’S Juicy Juice! It ain’t! No Spirits! In this cup, lovely assistant come on come on um.
Let’S see the boxing wizard comes in and says I’m happy female boxing is growing and respect is being given and shown to females.
If there’s no equality, then there’s no quality happy, it’s even happy.
It’S an even playing field.
Um, you know what the boxing wizard, you know.
I would say about that it.
What I would say about that is um.
We we’re getting a bit more of the spotlight now um, I’m not sure.
If it’s equal, I’m not sure it will ever be equal to the men in in boxing, and I’m fine with that right because we are women and women.
Boxing is way different from mailbox and women fight different right, and I I think that I don’t want to be equal to a man in boxing right because they have their own thing.
I want to be a woman behaving badly.
I want to be a woman boxing.
There’S some great things that we do on our own um that are not equal to the men.
I, what I want is for us to have equal time right.
I want us to get up to the point where we are not performing three minutes three minute rounds.
Now, instead of the two minutes, you know, I I think women in order the the equal.
I think we’re not equal in a sense that we are not given or we are not held to the standard that we should be where Women’s boxing needs to be uh.
Three minute rounds, just like the men give us an opportunity to perform, give us an opportunity to show our skill set and show why we, we are the the the better and best contenders in there two minutes, a two-minute fight or two minutes per round.
Nah you’re, not digging you you’re, not able to have to dig deep if you’re in there, and you only got ta fight two minutes, you’re just scratching the surface.
That extra minute is what makes mice or men right in a or in our case mice or women.
Okay and sugar was never known mice or a mouse in there right.
I started I I remember, I remember fighting amateur fights at three minutes and and they changed it right, they changed it because um, the the I I guess they felt like the majority of talent at the time was not able to manage uh staying in staying in A fight for three minutes, because three minutes is a long time.
Okay, I I’m grateful.
I always say this: I’m grateful to the Gladiators to the men who taught me how to fight, and I am also grateful to the women who taught me how to fight as well, and you know what the women who taught me how to fight weren’t, necessarily women’s Boxers the thing they weren’t women boxers, they were women that knew how to Fight Like a Woman, and they were their insight and their coaching helped me understand how to personify that who, how to bring that into the ring and turn it into performing in combat.
And I want to see more of that.
What we see now in women’s boxing are women mimicking men in the rain.
You don’t see many women who fight authentically like women, and this is the thing I’m saying this.
This is the thing the women women fought authentic.
More authentically, like women in the earlier days of women’s boxing in the earlier times now uh.
You know you see this.
You see a lot of amateurish Styles.
You see a lot of um.
You know a lot of.
How can I say this, you see a lot of choreography yeah choreography, because everyone knows that women are emotional creatures.
Okay and the beauty of watching a woman fight is seeing her fight off of her emotion, not to say that she’s losing when we’re emotional and we lose control.
No, there is nothing deadlier Than a Woman who can control her emotions because, as women, we feel every emotion and we know how to act when we know how to act on every emotion and use it to our advantage.
You got something wickedly good and that’s what I want to say to see enough of that anymore.
The woman, the the boxing wizard comes in and says: how did you feel when you went from three minutes to two minutes? How much does your mindset affect you in the ring great question, the boxing wizard great question um I was, I was a youngin at the time I was agreeing back at the time uh when they changed it.
So I was on my rise to being um a a world recognized name fighter and what I saw or how I felt when they took the three minutes away was damn now I have to hurry up right, I feel rushed.
I felt rushed right where, in three minutes you can, you can paint a wonderful picture of what an ass whooping is gon na be and look like three minutes.
You can break your opponent down right it.
It it there’s.
There’S a the slower burn makes a makes.
A better finale in in in, in the sake for the sake of boxing right, so two minutes.
You know right two minutes.
I I may hit somebody hard, but then you know they.
If they, if they’re around they can stand around.
I only have maybe a couple more seconds to get them out of there and sugar was a fighter sugar.
I I I think my ancestors for the genetics that I have, but I was one of very few women that could knock someone out cold.
I could knock somebody out uh, who was fresh um.
I’D have, to put my you know, put punches together, but I I had tremendous knockout power, and so the three minutes was my.
The the three minutes was my you know.
Uh.
It was my my my comfort zone because, if I put my hands on you right and if I kept putting my hands on you the way I was doing it um you weren’t going to be able to stand in front of me.
You weren’t going to be able to last very long because you had to survive the duration of the three rounds when that whole minute is taken away right.
I may have hurt you in the ring, but all you had to do is survive another minute and then you get another whole minute to sit your ass on the chair and gather yourself, and I got ta start possibly start over for the next round, because you Would have recovered um going into the the following rounds right so where sugar would have um used to knock people out in the first round, because it was three minutes sugar.
Normally then, after that, when it turned into two minutes, I would normally, I would get a fighter out of there by round two right um of a of a two-minute per round fight right.
So you know um, like I said you know you uh a fighter like me, uh I felt rushed, but I made the adjustments and I was still able to be effective with the two minute rounds.
The two minute rounds are basically for people that don’t have much power right, because then you can count punches and volume of punches matter right because then uh.
If I, if I punch, if I punch enough and if I work enough and if, if I show that I’m busy enough, I can win this round, I can steal the round off of work, not off of damage where there’s two type of Fighters, The Working fighter And the fighter that does damage and you have a once once in a while, you have a a fighter that can do both, which I think I was able to do both, but I like to do damage um it like.
I said it affected my mindset because I felt rushed at first, but then I made the adjustments and I I’m a fighter that loves strategy and three minutes.
Three minute rounds allows a fighter to follow through with proper strategy.
Okay, it’s the difference like they say it’s the difference between playing a round of Chess rather than Checkers.
So two minute rounds, checkers three minute rounds, chess um, the boxing wizard says I don’t believe in coincidence.
I was meant to come across your Channel to on Happy women’s to on Happy women’s day.
I must say you seem very intellectual, that’s a testament to yourself! Oh now, you just putting it on and I love a lot of stop it.
Don’T stop it um.
Thank you and I don’t believe in coincidence either.
I believe we were supposed to share this moment in time and it happens to be women’s day right, but it won’t stop you from continuing to stop by every Wednesday at 7.
30 pm for the sugar show, because you know my face.
Gon na always be in the place, and you know I I just I just love love love.
You already the boxing Wizard and I like what you have to say and I love having these conversations with you um and listen the boxing wizard.
Listen, look.
We’Ve got um other we’ve got other people, other people who chime in my, I call them my Misfits who chime in that have great conversation on the sugar show and I think uh once we all get together and – and we start chatting it up, we’ll have a Good old time so keep coming back, keep coming back now we want to go back to um, just in some of these Asian baddies.
Okay, it’s women’s day.
Okay: let’s talk about all the baddies, all over the world pound for pound that is so pound for pound Asia.
Um bone me Ray, which who you’re looking at right now, is um ranked number six in Asia: okay, uh she’s out of South Korea, 28 years old and uh, as you guys can see on her record 15 wins one lost three draws.
Eight of those 15 wins have been uh by knockout okay, so she she’ll she’ll, put them she’ll, put them broads down on the canvas, okay and good for her she’s top 10 in in her region in her continent.
In in that Continental collection, okay, um super featherweight.
So I mean I would love to see: boomiration go overseas and challenge some of these other baddies in these other regions, she’s in a great weight division.
So there is competition out there and it would add value to her name as well as any other Baddie.
In that super featherweight division or India around around that weight right to add some value to women’s boxing and to these different weight classes, let’s get away from celebrity boxers and let’s get back to actually having sound, uh contenders and and and sound match-ups in women’s boxing.
Let’S do that, let’s start doing that right! That’S! What’S going to give us the long money right! We don’t want the short money, the short monies with the celebrity stuff, because guess what, when that celebrity get old when she done with boxing guess where the money go with her, we don’t want no, but we don’t want nobody taking no money out of this.
Out of the industry, okay, we want to keep the money here right.
We want everybody to be able to eat and everybody to get money.
That’S what the value is right that that’s! Why we do this? Well, we love to behave badly, but it’s even better when you can take care of yourself and the ones you love doing it.
Okay, lovely assistant, let’s come on, give me give me that next, okay, so this one, you know this one.
I am um I and questioning her um muziki kirita, okay, four and O.
So four wins zero losses and she ain’t got no Knockouts how’d.
She make it to the top ten pound for pound uh in in Asia.
Uh this one.
I don’t know, I don’t know how she got here, but she’s here.
Nonetheless, I want to see what she do with it: okay, um.
She is a super flyweight out of Japan.
26 years old, okay Super Fly Away, so she got people in in her division overseas.
That she can fight as well, so she can do something with this opportunity.
She up here on the powerful pound list.
Go guide, hey superflies out there flyweights out there go get her um.
My battery is low.
Y’All.
Give me a minute give a sugar a minute.
I got ta get this eye again.
I can’t get the charger foreign, okay, okay, I’m back! I’M sorry, I’m sorry for the interruption.
You guys! Oh okay, let’s see! Oh it ain’t like it used to be.
I tell y’all dipping in bending and all that stuff yeah.
It may not be as easy as it used to be, but I still get it done all right now, all right.
We talking about um, Mizuki, um out of Japan, okay and and, like I said, it’s questionable how she even got on on um.
It’S questionable how she even got on the Asian pound for pound top ten but she’s there.
Okay rank that number seven and good luck to her.
I don’t really have much to say because y’all know I don’t.
I don’t pay no mind to no sub 10 fighter.
Okay, next next lovely assistant, next all right and look at this she’s, she got such a adorable face um.
But this is a woman that behaves badly.
Her name is Taylor, Robertson, okay and she’s, out of Australia, okay, Superfly weight; Okay, small small one, small, broad, okay, she’s 24 years old; seven wins one loss; zero draw two of those seven wins by KO, so she trying up in here she’s sub 10.
uh she’s On the she’s ranked at number, eight in the region in the continent uh that can or Continental region of Asia, okay and so watch out for this one she is sub 10.
So I ain’t got too much to say: uh she’s super fly away, so she got.
She got some opportunities that she can build on overseas and, and it ain’t like she can’t find a fight.
So good luck to this one, let’s see where she she goes with it: lovely assistant, where’s, the next one.
What’S the next one, Shannon O’Connell my my gal? Okay, Shannon been around Shannon been around okay, so Shannon uh O’Connell is um, abandoned weight out of Australia.
Okay, she been around around she a baddie okay, hard body, baddie 23 wins seven losses.
One draw 11 of those 23 wins by KO.
Okay and three out of her seven losses, she’s been ko’d, so she’s been out there, and this is what I love this I mean I I like this.
I I like this record because it shows you that she’s she’s been she’s been on all ends of it.
Right she’s been she’s, been in every part of of This Woman’s boxing thing.
She’S been the winner, she’s been the loser right.
She’S put somebody on the canvas and her ass been on the canvas.
Okay, she’s had to fight and um for a draw.
Okay, Shannon O’Connell um, 40 years old, so she’s a chrome in the game.
She really don’t have much time left.
She fought ebony Bridges and Ebony Bridges, who’s ranked number one right now, uh put the Beats on her right, but that doesn’t mean it’s over for her.
She still has a little bit of time to reinvent herself, one last one last couple more times: okay and spin back because it’s always an opportunity to spin back um.
The boxing wizard comes in and says who is your favorite female fighter if you could aspire to be one female figure for one day? Who would it be interesting? Question um, I would say my favorite female fighter is Miriam lady tiger trimmar and she is my favorite female fighter, not so much because she could fight she’s, my favorite female fighter, because she was the woman that I drew from when I was going through my Journey.
There were times that I didn’t have the answer and I couldn’t find the answer, and I read what little I could and what little that was out there about this fighter and for some reason, every part of her journey.
I was able to identify with the bad the good you know the the the the disrespect the you know, the not being able to have opportunities the the way that she had to take whatever opportunities that came to her and do so and make the you know Greatness out of it right, the I I like that or what I learned from her is how to still be you and and still maintain who you are, and what you’re and your dignity in this cold hard industry of woman’s boxing, how to still follow your dreams.
Even when No One Believes In You um learning she, she helped me understand how to be my biggest fan in women’s boxing right and to and to respect the game enough to know that it ain’t just about me it’s about.
We meaning she had to fight to become a legitimate licensed boxer, meaning that any other boxing that any all the women did previous to her and Cathy cat Collin uh, Kathy cat Davis and Tanawanda Jackie Tanawanda, those three, ladies, this is in New York, anything previous to Them receiving the first women’s uh licenses in New York was illegal, so it was illegal for a woman to box.
It was illegal for a woman to make money boxing.
You could get meaning that we could get arrested, and you know it.
It was something that was against the law right and, and she kept doing it and she sacrificed her life to keep doing it, and I’m sure there were people around her to tell her give up.
It’S not gon na happen.
You’Re not gon na make it you’re not gon na get what it is, because I got it.
I got that when I was coming up and uh tiger lady tiger and all of the the women that came before me had laid tracks, and I was still being told you can’t don’t you won’t, especially when I became a mother.
Why are you still doing this? You’Re, a mother now um, I that one hit me hard and it was strange enough.
I was just reading I was reading.
I was on wban women’s boxing archive um, W band, The the Bible of women’s boxing and her biography came up and there was a part.
An article or something that came up where she said after she had her own son.
She said the weight is just the weight and couldn’t come off.
The weight didn’t come off and mind you.
I didn’t.
I haven’t uh, I I don’t know.
If I everyone knows this, but sugar I went, I went up to over 300 pounds in my pregnancy yeah.
I went up to over 300, I gained over three I found out.
I was pregnant on the scale.
I was supposed to turn pro 140 pounds, but pregnancy tests came back positive, okay and um at the end of the pregnancy.
When I had my little one, I was 310 pounds, so [ Music, ] um, even looking at that being laughed at being laughed at and and having to really figure out.
If I am indeed who I say, I am right, despite of now being I mean from going from being uh, you know a specimen where I could.
I had not a six pack, a eight pack to being over 300 pounds and seeing and and feeling and and and going through what people who are overweight go through then the dirty looks the jokes, the laughing.
You know going you going through that and living that life.
I would say it’s the same as [ Music, ] um, you know lady tiger tremar has gave me the push her story gave me the push.
I remember trying to find her one time and um people were like.
Oh, we don’t know where she is.
I don’t know where she is.
You know because it does get catty in the industry where even even old, Crohn’s and old broads uh, if they feel like one, you know our old broad skin.
A bra is going to get more attention than her.
Even in this business, she’s gon na she’s gon na try to stop it right, because I mean as much as I love women’s vodka boxing women boxers are catty that way and that’s why we don’t make the money that we should make make in this industry, because
