Hi there welcome once again talk and fight fans.
It’S four o’clock, i’m with my core.
That’S right, mike warr at four for another episode of knuckle up and let’s see, let’s see if mike’s got yet another knockout artist for us today.
Do you? Oh i do.
I do uh this guy, this guy, you might know from from a couple years ago.
Actually i’m talking about charles bad news conwell.
I don’t know if you heard of him but uh back on october 12 2019.
He fought another uh, another boxer by the name uh patrick day, who suffered a stroke or sorry, not a stroke, suffered a seizure on his way to the hospital after being knocked out in the boat and four days later died because of his injuries in the ring.
Uh in that fight, he was knocked down in the fourth round eighth round and again in the 10th, and the 10th was a very devastating knockdown which knocked him out, which eventually led to the brain trauma that caused a seizure that causes death.
Um we’re talking about this kid, charles conwell, who you know killed this guy in the ring really and uh has bounced back great um fought three fights after that uh and this kid’s, a heavy-handed guy man he’s only a hundred, and you know, between 147 and 154, He’S five nine he’s got a 70 inch.
Reach he’s got a 78 ko uh percentage, he’s 14-0 with 11 knockouts.
His amateur record was 39-6 with one knockout he’s managed by david mcwater um, who has a lot of talent under his belt at this moment um.
He hasn’t gone 12 rounds yet uh his dream fight really is uh canelo.
That’S who he’d like to step into the ring with uh yeah, so this kid disappeared for four months after after that death uh of patrick day uh, it was a really dark time for him.
He didn’t know if he wanted to come back to boxing at all.
I’M glad he did because he’s very talented fighter uh he fights um.
He he fights to win man he’s he’s he’s a bruiser and um.
You know he’s very heavy-handed and just goes to show with his with you know with his his uh sorry.
It goes to show with his record um after coming back, he fought uh a guitar and uh in the fourth round.
The coroner decided to stop it because uh aguitan was too hurt to come back out and compete uh.
He then fought another guy.
Toussaint uh was the ninth round ko and then uh.
His last fight of last year was uh against keith and it was another corner decision for the guy not to come out.
So this guy is doing so much damage to these fighters that their corners are not letting them get back in the ring afterwards, and i don’t know if it’s because they’re scared because of what has happened in the past – and you know him him causing so much Trauma for this guy to die later on, but yo he’s a very talented fighter, he’s a knockout artist.
I love him.
I love watching this guy.
I think we’re gon na see some huge things from him.
Uh this year, uh he’s he’s assigned to to uh golden and um he’s managed and managed.
It will not manage uh golden and lou dibella are on his side, so they’ve got a lot of plans for him.
This kid is an 11 time: national champ, amateur national champ, uh 2015 usa boxing athlete of the year uh he’s a 2015 national golden gloves.
Champ he’s a two-time usa boxing national champ.
He won the amateur athlete of the year award at the 17th annual greater cleveland sports award awards, which earned him a spot on the olympic boxing team um after winning that america qualifier uh.
He was eliminated from the olympic tournament in the first round, uh via a controversial decision, so you know he’s a highly decorated, amateur boxer and now now that he’s made his pro debut he’s, you know he’s just smashing people out man he’s he’s, knocking these guys out And he’s very heavy-handed, you know he gets in that pocket and and just devastates guys the ability that this kid has and the power that he can generate at such a small guy right, like you, know, you’re talking guys that are 150 pounds here, man and they’re, Throwing blows that are so devastating to these guys that their corner doesn’t want these guys to come out after a couple of rounds because they’ve taken so much damage.
This kid is, you know, he’s he’s, had a he’s had a rough pass and i’m glad to see him actually bounce back from from all that, you know, that’s that’s tragic man and to have that way on your shoulders and then be able to come back, and You know win win again in the ring and be dominant the way he was before and uh.
You know it’s good to see him and i know we’re going to see a lot of things from this.
Kid wants a title shot.
It’S just.
He needs to fight the names to get that title shot and they’re going to start putting these names in front of him.
I do believe, we’ll see a belt on this kid very, very soon, uh.
Definitely, i would love to see him fight canelo, who wouldn’t really this kid’s a bruiser.
I love these knockout artists.
Graham, you know i love bringing you these guys.
This guy hits so hard.
Many kills people.
What can we say right and guys are afraid to get in the ring with them and when you watch the power this kid has coming out of these hands man, it’s it’s! It’S incredible and um yeah he’s another kid man.
That’S you know: under 25 years old he’s been listed on that same list that i keep mentioning that top 25 under 25 fight fans knuckle up fans watch his kid watch.
His highlights watch his fights.
You know you can watch the you can watch a fight against patrick day, but, like you know, let’s not be morbid about it.
Unfortunately, the kid died.
It’S bad.
You know, i don’t know if the ref, maybe he should have stopped it a little sooner after the one shot like in the 10th round.
He took this uh.
He took this nasty right hook to the side of the year and it kind of dazed him, and then he followed it up with a left hook which just sent this guy to the mat, and you know he was out on his feet: head bounced off the Mat eyes rolled back in the head kid left in a stretcher.
It was, it was very devastating and it almost uh it almost ruined this guy, it almost ruined him and um and his career.
But it’s good to see that he’s bounced back.
He did write an actually, you can check it out on twitter.
He wrote a letter to the family of uh patrick day and apologized.
You know it wasn’t what he wanted um and it hurt him so, and you know he’s he’s now fighting for the legacy of patrick day.
Who was you know the opponent that he killed and it’s um? You know he he wants to fight and win that title.
Uh, you know in honor of this guy, because this kid was also patrick day was another good up-and-coming fighter who you know, had the ability to be a contender and win one of these belts, and you know it’s it’s a sad thing.
It’S a tragic thing that happened, i’m glad to see that he’s bounced back from it.
I’M glad to see that he’s got good people in his corner that are putting him on the right path to eventually you know get that belt and i i think we’ll see it, and you know he says it just like.
I said man that division is turning out to be a very, very deep talent pool, and it’s going to be very exciting in the next couple of years to watch these guys.
You know in between 130 to say 165 pounds.
The talent pool is huge.
These guys are devastating they’ve got the heart.
They’Ve got the drive they’re getting those fights under their belt that they need.
