You bought this one for me on youtube, uh, the beginning of the mag scio card uh.
This is this is on the undercard man.
We’Re talking about rashidi, speedy atlas wow, what a knockout over jose mouraffo, who took the fight on two days, notice uh.
He was supposed to originally scheduled originally to fight all meta, but unfortunately he would not end up fighting due to a back injury.
He had to pull out but uh.
You know what honestly, i don’t think it really mattered, because uh rashidi definitely made some quick, quick work of his opponent last night.
Dropping him two times in the first round before the ref stopped it when the ref stopped it.
I believe he was already out on his feet, man, because i don’t think he recovered after the first two knockdowns um cedric.
Let’S break it down for these guys, man yeah, the the it was at the beginning or somewhere at some point time during the first round.
The initial punch um that rashidi caught him with was was a straight right as he as he walked into a vargas wha.
I mean sorry um, his opponent uh.
What’S his name uh, jose ma, maffaro, jose jose, walked right into that straight, a straight cross um and he rashed.
He didn’t even have to extend it.
He just kind of threw it out there because because uh, because jose was just charging forward so much so he dropped him.
Um like when you see the fur the first time he got dropped it.
He doesn’t even look like a hard punch, but just because he was coming forward so hard, it was just like a head-on collision and uh.
He got dropped and that was the beginning of the end after he got up after he got, he did get up, but then um rashidi mix mixed it up and landed a nice left hook that dropped him.
That dropped him the second time and then uh.
He, although he did get up from the second drop, you know that the referee did save him from any further damage with the tko a couple a couple seconds later, honestly, i i just got to say this man we have.
You know rashidi speedy ellis year and nine months out of the ring last time he fought october 30th, 2020 against alexi oroka.
That was back for the vacant.

Honestly, the welters have a new guy to look out for man and that’s rashidi ellis this kid’s, no joke huge volume, puncher, honestly swarmer.
Why has he not been active uh honestly? He was originally part of i’m assuming this was uh yeah, some contract things because i i just read this was his first fight on pbc, correct, yes, so last night last night was his pbc premiere, uh, originally part of golden boy promotions.
I don’t know what happened there uh.
I guess he got shelved.
He went south, but he’s no longer part of golden boy.
He’S now on pbc and honestly he’s ready for anybody like he said last night, he said, give him anybody in the top 147 right now and he’s ready for them.

The shots wouldn’t have done it justice.
Just too many punches too many too many punches to be able to uh, let’s see eight snaps and put together a book load of record no big names.
I understand what you’re saying carl uh, honestly, no big names, maybe on the world stage, but definitely uh on the level that he’s at right now he’s been taking out some guys that i’ve been watching and honestly he he’s he’s got he’s, got the ability to uh.
Do some damage, maybe not right away, but definitely get him.
Some bigger fights slowly build his way up to that top ten and uh.
Do you have his box rack up to see yeah man yeah right now he’s ranked six out of 394 in the welter division.
He falls right now in between in between jaron enos and jamal james.

You know he’s sitting just under you know the likes of michael mckinson uh.
You know connor ben stannis, ennis, cody crowley, keith, thurman uh, you guys, like he’s, got a bunch of guys that he’s uh.
You know he’s sitting underneath here some real big names in that division.
But this kid definitely after last night.
Yes, he is 29 carl uh.
You know, i guess that golden boy promotions really had him uh sitting back doing nothing because you know what’s in a year and nine months out of the ring, and then you know last night having your opponent back out due to a back injury that sucked honestly Palmetto would have been a way better fight, but uh honestly shout out to uh murvo for for even taking that fight man on two days notice uh.
He was not ready for the likes of speedy rashidi ellis with that vicious swarming shout out shout out to jose for taking the fight on two days notice, though yeah man, that’s what i’m saying like you know what shout out to you for taking that fight on Two days notice, honestly what uh wha, what a performance, real, quick! You know it wasn’t it wasn’t it wasn’t a long fight by any means it didn’t.
Last too long uh, i think the first the first shot was just you know.
He couldn’t collect himself after that.
First knockdown, you know, and then a couple seconds after that he gets put down again.
You know um ellis, who was making his debut on premier.
Boxing was fighting for the first time in nearly two years.
Man.
This is the thing you know the fight kicked off.
The portion of the mark magazine vargas card, which aired on showtime sports, uh youtube channel, so guys, that’s where i checked it out, so i’ll definitely be dropping it.

If anybody wanted to score that one which only went the one round so uh, but definitely what a great uh, what a great fight man this kid, this kid definitely put on a wonderful performance shout out to him for his winning our wonderful knuckle up.
Knockout of the week award man any other fights.
You want to talk about touch me, son, no, no just um! I i was expecting uh chazora and [ Applause ], but uh.
That was a 12-round decision, wasn’t expecting that chazor is not known.
For you know.
Boxing 12 rounds wow like wow what a slugfest too yeah yeah yeah.
So i thought i thought i thought there was going to be a knockout in that one, but no honestly wow um what what a fight that was.
I thought it was going to end the knockout as well uh.
Instead, it ended up with pulav’s face looking like uh.
He walked into a wall a few times a couple of cuts over the eyes uh.
You know chisora went to that body, man real hard last night yeah he did.
He was going hard to the body yeah you’re right yeah, if uh, if you guys, didn’t get a chance to see that check out jazora uh pulive, honestly, what a slugfest these two old guys doing it big, really showing them uh, showing people out there that you Know what they can still throw down: yo pulev at 41, still in that ring uh.
He showed up in that ring last night at 250 pounds.
Obviously, he’s been uh since you know who knows when but honestly wow what about what a slugfest that one worked out to you um, you know what i was kind of upset.
There was a there was a um, a draw, a technical draw last night on on that undercard rant um the uh co-main event for that card.
Uh soro got his head, bashed uh, with a nasty cut that i think was stopped a little prematurely uh.
The cut wasn’t that big man, i’ve had paper cuts, bigger um, it’s just the way it started to bleed right off the hop if you guys didn’t see that go check it out and tell me what you think drop it in the comments.
Hey carl’s saying what’s up with cody crowley or whatever his name is hey, you better have respect for the canadian crippler yeah, better respect for the canadian crippler carl cleaning.

Yo yo the crippler is sitting sixth in the world right now, man in the welter division, so he’s sitting under thurman, ortiz jr you guys spence and crawford like you know, um he’s above ennis.
You know what it is.
Man he’s he’s: a canadian crippler, no yo.
Honestly, a lot of people don’t know who he is and it’s uh it’s sad, because uh he’s not he’s starting to build a name for himself now his last couple of fights have been um, i’ve been not only has he won, but he’s you know, he’s looked Good in as far as audience-wise, you know he um he’s coming forward, he’s not getting tired and um yeah, always a good show to watch.
He hasn’t bought anybody yeah.
He hasn’t fought anybody significant, but he’s working his way up right.
