Transcribed
Foreign [ Music ], thanks for tuning in to today’s episode of Knuckle Up and yours truly Mike or I’m a man, centered Ben, and you know what it is.
It is female Friday and we got a woman for you to be watching coming January 20th in a ring near you, man now listen here.
We go we’re gon na talk about her.
Her name is Jasmine.
The animal artiga this 30 year old super flyweight is ranked three out of 12 in the United States, 20th out of 159 in the world, and she is supporting a winning record of 9-0 and one with five Knockouts.
This Superfly yeah, that’s 115 pounds guys uh.
She is managed by Peter Khan of uh fight, game advisors and uh.
Honestly, man uh, let’s Cedric, I know I know you’re watching it.
Let’S, let’s talk about it, Miss where I miss the animal, the animal artiga um.
How tall is she uh? You know I I I’m not sure, I’m not sure, okay, it’s okay! I was just uh wondering because um her opponent looks very short.
She doesn’t look too much taller than her, but she she looks like she has some long arms and uh makes very good use of her reach.
Most of her punches are long straight punches at full extension and uh.
It’S only five, four sorry, five, four five.
Four five four um, I’m assuming she has a longer arm reach than a normal five foot, five foot person, because she uh looks like she’s reaching her from like a good distance halfway across the ring and land and connecting good too um.
She has a good inside fight inside fighting game too.
The girl that she’s fighting uh, what’s her name mirka has uh, is getting on her inside, but uh uh.
The animal is handling the pressure very well uh or she handled it.
This fight is already already done, but yeah she’s handled she handled the pressure very well and um, so she can buff from the outside has good defense on the inside.
So I can see why she’s 9-0 definitely yeah.
Definitely you know what I like about.
Her is uh, you know she plays the In and Out game very, very well and uh.
She throws multiple punches.
You know she’s, not just looking for that.
One pinpoint punch you know to like try and take the head off or whatever she gets in there.
She throws multiple she throws that right hook.
Usually after that big left, you know to end it off, and I love how she’s throwing that right out to you know set up that big straight left, because that straight left is money for her man.
She’S got heavy hands this girl.
You can check her out on her Instagram.
You can check out some videos of her.
This girl does have heavy hands and uh she’s experiencing this ring man.
You know this five four bantamweight born in Tampa Florida has been a professional female boxer since 2017 uh, you know artigans started boxing at the age of 21.
, so she came late right uh in that you know, even in the fact that she started late man, she Still she won the national Golden Gloves the Florida state Golden Gloves and the Florida state Pio uh she trains in Tampa uh with her father as her trainer and her brother in her corner and uh.
This 115 pounder man loves to spark.
That is her.
That’S her thing, that’s what she loves to do and she spars on a regular basis with 154 160 pound female Fighters.
So you know she knows how to handle these big girls, especially being only five four and 115 pounds uh in October of 2020, she signed with Peter Khan’s fight game in an exclusive contract and, at the time of signing Khan had said, the following: okay, Jasmine is A hard-hitting extremely athletic fighter, although her record at the time, was 7-0.
She is still in the development phase of her career and continues to make big strides every day.
Her work, ethic and discipline are what is going to enable her to be a world champion once her boxing IQ and experience catch up to her raw one punch, knockout power, she’s going to be big problem in that super fighting condition guys.
You can see it already at the beginning.
You know she’s only three fights in since being 7-0, so you know she was very happy to sign with Khan this girl.
She is a you know.
She she was a an athlete all through school um.
You know she.
She did lots of things, man um.
She took dance lessons growing up.
She was in tennis in her teen years.
She played basketball, flag football and then after she graduated high school, she went on to play women’s Pro Arena, tackle football for the lfl and then being the youngest girl in the league at 18.
, but her boxing Journey has been a father-daughter Journey.
Our father is your trainer greatest motivational support, system and mentor, and they have one goal and one dream, and that is to be a world champion.
So you know this girl is in here in that gym, working her ass off all the time to become that world champion, and you know follow through on that promise that her father may see each other and that’s to become world champion, but guys definitely one to Check out man January 20th, she is coming to a fight card near you, uh war zone, Friday January 20th, 2023 uh opponent, yet to be named.
I will let you guys know closer to the date.
It’S also close to my birthday.
So I can’t wait to see this one.
This is going to be great man.
What date is it? What’S your birthday, every second 22nd in January, so you know it’s coming up soon.
You know what it is: I’m getting up there, man today so uh.
We won’t say exactly how old I’m turning but uh yeah, we’ll just leave it at that, but yeah man, honestly good girl here to watch Jasmine animal artiga.
She definitely uh lives up to that.
Nickname man, the animal she’s, got vicious power heavy hands for a 115, and that’s probably because of all the Spartans she does at 150 for 160.
um.
Can you explain to the people out there what you know a 115 pounder sparring, somebody who’s a lot.
Heavier does for their for their game.
Well, uh.
It forces you to improve your defense, uh or else Spark’s, not probably not going to go so well for you, but um.
You want to make sure you know, there’s always things that you can work on like, and it depends on the skill level too, because things can even out if you’re, 150 115 pounds.
We have a very high skill level.
Now you might not be able to to like knock out 150 pound person uh we got a visitor, but uh.
You can definitely like use your boxing skills to stick and move and stick and move um.
You know definitely a good great way to practice, not getting hit so and then even for the for the bigger person um, it helps kind of improve their speed.
Fighting someone, that’s that small, not not trying to throw with power, but just trying to land like just trying to touch them with punches just to land, to help improve your your speed for a bigger person.
Yeah.
What I like about this girl, though uh all those dance lessons man in her teenage years, have definitely shown some great footwork in the ring and uh her ability to stride around that ring at ease and uh cut.
Those angles off is great and uh.
You know just like Peter Khan said man once her ring IQ catches up to her raw towel and ability.
She will be dangerous in this super flyweight division, she’s already ranked 20th in the world.
So you know it’s only a matter of time before we see this girl climbing up the ranks, man to that number one spot and fighting for that crown, but guys it is female Friday.
It is time for us to get out of here so uh.
You know we go, we got ta, go to work man, so you guys don’t have to Cedric.
You want to say anything before we leave um.
When does this girl fight again January 20th? Uh, not war zone is the name of the fight card guys.
You could probably be able to find that if you uh search, the internet, you’ll shoot sure to be able to find a stream you’re not going to want to miss this girl in action man.
She truly lives up to that name.
Animals and uh.
Great uh comment from uh Brooke Millbrook saying when I spread bigger people.
I went harder because I wasn’t afraid to hurt them inspiring yeah.
Exactly I forgot to bring that up too.
It’S um again you’re 115 pounds you you’re you’re, you’re you’re, a scarring partner outweighs You by, like you know, not just double digits by like 40 pounds, you can go as hard as you want and then – and you know it’s up to them – to keep their hands Up because even if they get clipped, it’s not gon na be that much damage.
