Transcribed
Foreign [, Music ] guys.
It’S me Neil.
The deal thanks for coming out here.
Talkingfight.
Com excuse me boxing 101 with me, Neil the deal uh Monday’s, obviously 8 30, and here we are talking about the big fights on the weekend.
The big fights coming up the uh, the predictions I had, we kind of were up and down, obviously guys if you watch the last episode, but that’s all right – we’re we’re still way ahead of the game.
As far as laying our bets and that’s all you got to be, you got to be 60.
That makes you a pro when you’re a better, so keep it up, hopefully uh.
So, let’s uh, let’s talk a little bit about what happened on the weekend.
We all know that I, it was the huge huge huge fight of the year and uh.
There was so much anticipation.
There was so much build up, uh.
There’S it really it it was.
It was I liked it.
It was.
It was good.
I liked it uh.
The you know the lead up to it all the stuff.
Obviously there were all kinds of different things happening, uh with both camps.
I mean the trainers were going at it in the press conference.
If you want to check that out, I really like that.
Uh, the fighters to me didn’t seem like they had, they really hated each other.
You know this is a.
This is the biggest fight of your life.
I mean I can respect them for being uh.
You know stand up diligent, proper, All That Jazz, but there there was a little element of almost they were gon na, go out after the fight and have dinner or something at the kegger.
I don’t know right, you know, Canyon, Creek or whatever, but it it just didn’t, come across the fighters themselves to me come across each other.
It was kind of they should have just been a little more a little more oomph the trainers.
Definitely at the press conference.
Guys check it out, they went out at big time.
I thought they were gon na like throw down it was.
It was awesome.
I was like wow these guys, really don’t like each other, so that the fight itself guys big, big, big fight uh Saturday night.
There Las Vegas believe me, I’m pretty sure, anyways uh, it was Spence Jr the champion three belts against uh Crawford with the one belt going for the unified the whole big shebanga and the the Ring magazine vacant Ring magazine uh.
I believe it’s a belt.
You know the ring belt, so anyways uh the fight was uh a little bit.
I would say I was not expecting that domination.
I have to give Terence Crawford all the the like.
Oh, that was an amazing display of boxing all right.
I’Ve watched thousands and thousands and thousands of fights in my life and I’m telling you that was a tactical uh strategic, uh, absolute sheleighing, destruction of Spence, and they had a great game plan going in.
I knew he was gon na, be really really tough.
I mean I called Spence I lost, but uh Spence.
I I didn’t look into a couple of things that at the end of the day, probably it was a bit of a deterrent.
I mean he, he kind of uh fought enough.
Uh kept up his chops enough.
He kind of got a little complacent, I think just a bit um.
He also, I don’t think he had the greatest game plan going in and uh because of he’s a natural 147.
I liked him, I I I just told you guys.
I said I thought he had to use like take the craw body.
Yeah he’s got a hit Crawford in the butt he couldn’t even get near Crawford’s body Crawford was out of control.
He dominated his counter.
Punching was the best I’ve almost ever seen.
He did he.
He was blocking, shots like like Spence did not have a chance next thing, you know by the second third round I mean the first round.
We all know Spence came out, he came out really well but again, crop he’s he’s known as a bit of a slow starter, but it was a complete Wipeout.
Honestly, I was completely surprised that they even let it go as long as it did.
I mean four knockdowns Spence had never been knocked down in his career.
Uh Crawford was just throwing overhand rights, uh, doubling up on the right hooks inside.
He was listening to his trainers.
You could tell because in between rounds, they talk in the corners and he was doing exactly what his trainers were telling him and he was very calm.
Cool and collected.
I got ta say it was a fantastic display.
I love the way at the end of the fight after the fight he was so gracious uh with everything thanking God, of course, God number one myself too, I wouldn’t be here without God and uh thank you, God and he did a.
He did a fantastic job.
Just uh all around you know, and he did have a lot of uh question marks earlier on in his career, guys were sort of not thinking he was the guy.
He really didn’t have the talent he kind of had to move his way up.
But man did he he has, and he has absolutely he’s convinced me he’s definitely found best fighter in the world.
No doubt I’m gon na tell you too uh.
It’S just a quick question guys if you want to comment in or anything feel, free and uh or next week, we’ll talk about it.
If I was thinking now, if Floyd Mayweather was in his prime at 35 and Terence Crawford was in his prime at 35, which he is right now and they had a fight, a huge mega fight.
Who would you take between those two guys? Well, I’m going to wait for next week to give you my answer but anyways, who would you take Mayweather Crawford in their primes? It’S an interesting, an interesting fight, uh, but Crawford really.
He really pulled up his socks that night like Saturday, and he showed me that he is definitely one of the absolute best in the game right now.
So congratulations to both you Spence, I hope you’re all right.
I know that you uh we’re having some my problems before the fight too and stuff.
All these little factors.
He did look a little beaten and bruised by the third or fourth round so uh his you know.
His vision eventually was uh, impaired and uh and Crawford.
Basically looked like he was, he was, he was just.
It was like a day at the office.
He really he.
I don’t even think he swept that much.
It was unbelievable and his accuracy is punching accuracy.
I believe it was almost 60 like Landing his eyes.
He landed something like uh, 60 or 65 of his power shots like if this is unheard of numbers and he tactically took them down in every fast.
I mean he just got out of class big time so all to you guys it was a great fight.
I hope you guys enjoyed it.
If you haven’t seen it check it out, I’m sure they have a full length on YouTube uh.
Any of the other platforms.
Maybe have it check out some sites.
You know uh go to top rank different sites like that they should have the full fight, but men uh very, very interesting, I’m not 100 surprised by any means and I’m really looking forward to Crawford’s going to fight next.
That’S the big question: is there going to be a rematch um? You know remember guys in that one the draw it just didn’t happen.
It was uh, it was a blowout.
So, let’s get on to the next uh next fight uh.
There was a couple there that I liked on the weekend, Donaire uh lost unanimous decision uh to Santiago.
That was a great fight.
I was surprised that Santiago was able to get inside so well, because he’s shorter, guy and Donaire has that Wicked left hook left a power hook uh.
I was surprised that Santiago basically walked through his power and uh.
I mean there was a big age difference.
Obviously, donaire’s uh getting up in age, but it was a good fight.
It wasn’t uh wasn’t a blow up by any means, but uh Santiago.
Really he did win the fight, pressured yeah, Donaire and just didn’t have an answer.
Congratulations to Santiago great fight check that one out as well and uh.
We also looked at the uh cenissa Estrada one uh.
I really like her guys was talking about her on the Friday night panel, with Tim she’s, a woman’s fighter and she’s really moving up the ranks like big time like she’s, really really kicking kicking it up a notch.
So uh keep your eye out for sanisa.
I believe she won an unanimous decision: uh 10 rounder, eight round or whatever it was exactly can’t remember, but I watched the fight.
She had a great fight.
She basically took you know almost every round.
There were some moments where the the you know the other fighter was, was giving it giving it too early.
She didn’t back it up back down, but she got back stop you know what I mean.
So congratulations to uh, cenisa and uh.
Looking forward to your next fight as well, so that was basically on the you know: the big fight was the one.
So, Let’s uh, let’s move on to uh, let’s move on to this week and see what we’ve got on the skid.
It’S looking uh, it’s looking a little not like, there’s fights all the time around the world and stuff, and I just like to talk about a few here talk I can fight.
I hope you enjoy it that, in my opinion of what’s what’s resting, fight guys it’s interesting and interesting in many many ways: uh, it’s gon na be from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, USA that’ll be Saturday August 5th, 2023, it’s a 10 round, uh event at The catch weight of 185 pounds 13.
2 Stone, uh 83.
9 kilograms, and that would be you know, a catch weight, so it is the fight this weekend I’m looking at is yes, Mr Jake Paul versus Nate Diaz, Nate Diaz.
We all know who Jake Paul is he kind of runs like me.
We’Re YouTube guys.
I mean he’s, obviously uh not as good looking as me he’s, definitely not stronger than me.
There’S no chance, that’s not happening, but um.
You know she’s putting himself out there.
So I got I got to give him that I mean you got to have more Talent than just being a host.
I guess or whatever else he does.
I don’t really follow the guy, but anyways he’s a YouTube guy.
If you haven’t heard Jake Paul he’s a nice guy, I’ve seen a few of his videos he’s funny.
He does some really cool stuff, so Jake good work, man just playing with you know that uh and Nate Diaz.
We all know him from the MMA MMA.
One of the Diaz brothers Out of Compton California, these brothers, the Diaz brothers, are bad bad, bad guys they definitely rolled in the streets uh.
They they have no Scruples about talking about their upbringing and how they lived, and you know what they had to do.
To get to where they are, and I always liked Nate Diaz, you know why, because these guys, the Diaz brothers are real.
They they every time they fight in MMA, because this is actually his debut in pro boxing Nate Diaz um.
He you know he gives it all he’s got.
He gives everything he’s got.
I mean he is definitely in my top two or three favorite guys, because he leaves it all on the table in the MMA fights he can be bloody beaten, hurt, uh, broken limbs, he’s still going this guy.
He he’s he’s an amazing athlete uh and I like the way that he’s got a Cockiness to him because yeah he grew up in basically a place where he had to fight to survive, and then people have to fight and to survive in in that region.
So all to him and his brother are a really good MMA fighter, so it’ll be interesting.
You know how he’s gon na make the turnover to boxing now.
The thing that makes me laugh about this a little bit.
Is that MMA everybody when, when that all came out, we all know when that came out? You know the Chuck liddells and the you know Tito Ortiz and all these guys Randy, Coulter and Rampage Jackson.
It goes on and on those are big spectacle.
Fights now they’ve kind of watered down the MMA thing.
I always told you it’s just glorified Street fighting anyways it really.
I mean it is a sport, but you know whatever and uh.
Now these guys, instead of uh their careers, I guess they’re at the end of their MMA careers they’re coming over to the boxing community and deciding that they’re gon na now be boxers.
So there’s a I mean: Conor McGregor tried it with Floyd Mayweather and blah blah blah a couple other guys whatever, but it’s uh it’s a different.
It’S a different uh cat boxing compared to MMA.
We all know very little similarity really but uh.
It’S gon na be interesting to see Jake Paul six and one uh he’s 26 years old and he’s got like uh five Knockouts, I believe, or four or five Knockouts uh Nate Diaz 38 years old, he’s a little older guy.
Obviously, what’s that going to be like 12 years, older, so he’s actually quite a bit older um and he’s o and O? So this is the debut for Nate Diaz, I’m looking forward to it um, I think it’ll be interesting.
Uh Jake Paul has had a few fights.
I mean Assam fight, Tyrone Woodley uh.
He lost his last fight.
I know that against some guy leaking he’s not really up against the the heavy duty competition, but that’s fine he’s in there and he’s learning and he’s doing well, and I I support him, I like Jake, he’s fine, you know it’s cool he’s a pretty cool cat.
I think so it should be interesting how he’s going to deal with this Nate Diaz guy, because this guy’s like a pit bull on a smarty like he will just tear you to pieces.
If you, if you’re not looking man he’s gon na he’s gon na hit you and he he throws bombs so interesting, fight check it out Saturday night, let’s go through a little bit more on that the ring lock is going to be 11 p.
m.
Eastern Standard Time, uh 8 P.
M, Pacific time and 4 a.
m British standard time.
So, wherever you are that’s when the boys are going to be walking it out broadcast is going to be the Zone all right.
One of my favorite, Mr Zone.
I love the zone.
Uh pay-per-view it’s a Pay-Per-View event: that’ll start on the zone, 9 p.
m, Eastern Standard Time, 6 p.
m, Pacific Standard Time and 2 A.
M.
Uh British standard time.
So you can also stream it on the Zone app as well as all the other ones.
You guys can check it out, but yeah get that done now the odds on the fight.
We got uh Jake, Paul minus 330, minus 330 and Nate Diaz plus 260 plus 260.
.
Now the 260 is kind of attractive.
You know, because really anything can happen in a fight like this.
These guys are really not professional fighters so that that lucky punch could happen.
I don’t know, I just think I think Jake Paul will win this fight.
Uh Diaz is going to give it all he’s.
Got as we all know, the power Jake Paul is, you know I’ve seen Diaz, he he throws multiple punches but and they are hard, but I think Paul’s gon na somehow get the better of him.
He’S got a little more experience in this thing, even though he’s only in what his eighth fight or something of this sort.
So I’m going to take Jake Paul with a win.
It’S going to be you now decision, I think it’ll go all the way.
I think Diaz is tough enough to stick it in.
There he’s definitely not going to give up.
So I I’m going with Jake Paul unanimous decision, maybe split decision who knows uh in that fight, so I’m looking forward to it should be fun.
Hope you guys do too now.
There’S undercard fights that night too, and I really like them.
Uh we’ll go over those quick, uh undercard.
This is the second time they fought.
Amanda Serrano versus Heather Hardy now Amanda Serrano is one of my favorite Fighters as well.
Uh she’s she’s a very she’s, a veteran uh she’s she’s, multiple title winner in multiple divisions, uh she’s, a a gem, a real gem.
I I I’m, if I’m not mistaken, I know Layla McCarter, who was on Brook’s show a couple weeks ago.
If you guys get a chance, watch, Brooke show uh Layla mccarter’s interview with Brooke on uh on uh, no, no mercy right Brook Dierdorf amazing.
It was a great.
It was a great great interview and Layla McCarter.
I I believe she did fight Amanda Serrano earlier on.
In her career, I believe she lost, she talked about it and uh Serrano’s Serrano’s been around and uh she’s got.
She’S got a big big record here, so she’s 44 and two and one with 30 Knockouts she’s 34 years old, gives her a knockout percentage of 65 percent and she’s fighting.
This is going to be in the featherweight division by the way Heather Hardy now Heather Hardy.
I I kind of heard a rumbling, but she I didn’t really she’s 41 years old, so she’s out there fighting at 41, so good for Heather she’s 24-2.
She only has four kales, so I don’t think she’s got much power, but she’s got a lot of wins.
So it could be interesting: it is again flyweight 126 126 pound 9 stone or 57.
1 kilograms.
Now the ring lock for that one guys is going to be 10 p.
m.
Eastern Standard Time, uh, 7 P.
M, Pacific Standard Time and 3 A.
M.
British standard time, uh that’s on the same card, so it will be earlier than the than the main event and that’ll be on the Zone pay-per-view.
So you guys can check it out.
Amanda Serrano odds minus a thousand, got ta put down a thousand to 100 with Amanda uh Jennifer hardy plus 750 plus 750.
.
I don’t think there’s any uh doubt here.
Amanda Serrano is going to win this fight, I’m going to take her uh knockout sixth round seventh round.
I think she’s gon na she’s gon na have a big one and uh.
This is fight two, so they’ve they have fought before, I’m pretty sure they have fought before this is fight two, this right so we’ll see what happens.
I think uh man is going to come out the winner, so check her out might not make a lot there.
Could be some prop bets or this or that just marrying it up with something that you you know you feel comfortable with and there you go.
You got yourself a little bit of a little bit of beer money or whatever for the weekend.
You want.
You know take the kids to Dairy Queen, whatever right, all right, so uh, the last fight, I’m gon na talk about guys.
It’S also on that card.
It is uh.
It’S an eight rounder.
It’S uh, it’s between Ashton, silvay and William Silva.
It’S in the lightweight division.
Here we go with the lightweight division again guys uh he’s got guys are up in Commerce, but I’m liking.
This Ashton Silva Silva, ales he’s got some power.
You know lightweight 135.
All the lightweights are so many and there’s all these guys coming up in lightweight.
I don’t know that Division and the welfare they’re just stacked, so he’s uh and he’s fighting a veteran here.
Uh William Silva is is 30 and four uh he’s got 18 knockouts and uh.
I really I’m really looking at that as just being oh here we go so Silva is assigned to Jake Paul’s MVP promotions, interesting, so that’s that that yeah, so big so yeah, that’s interesting is it? Is it still day or Silva, which one is on Jake Paul’s? Was it Solvay or Zola anyways so via and Serrano? Oh and Serrano thanks guys, that’s awesome, yeah right on so he’s definitely yeah.
Okay, I got you.
You spelled that wrong all right, cool, um yeah.
So interesting, so Jake Paul’s uh promotional company has a couple here on the on the bill too, so that you know all the best to him.
I hope it goes well so enjoy the fights it’ll be interesting, like I say, a YouTube guy against a MMA guy.
It’S kind of a bit Mickey Mouse boxing club.
We know it’s like you know it’s like going to get an ice cream or something or something we’ll see how it works out.
Guys literally um.
Like I say it’s it, I don’t know, what’s happening with these kind of things, they’re, not really big fights to me personally uh.
I kind of think they’re more of publicity stunts.
To be honest with you, and I’ve always said, boxing is the number one sport in the world and always will be.
Mma is definitely second rate.
Unfortunately uh I mean all to them.
They’Re very talented people, but boxers are definitely on a different level, as we all know.
