What up talking fight fans thanks for tuning in to today’s episode of the knuckle up knockout of the week award? You know what it is man you’re here to see who we’re picking for this weekend’s knockouts and wow.
What a weekend of knockouts off this one card – oh my man, james hagler, is here with us.
Today we got tim witherspoon in the house to help us with this one man.
We got to break it down for all the people out there and talk about it, and that is our man, richard torres silver medalist.
What a big knockout holy, crow, frederick, guys! Let’S talk about it, the wasting eddie wasn’t wasting any time he came across heavyweight.
I mean jeffy got: oh my god.
This guy was in trouble from the get-go man to be honest, uh.
It was huge man, uh marco canedo, this one sorry bud.
You were just you were outshined uh.
You know you were victimized by this guy man.
You got put to sleep and uh, you know it got to the point where it was almost scary.
It was an almost scary event that unfolded before our eyes.
Man going face down in the canvas like that and not moving for a couple of minutes.
That’S pretty big, that’s uh, that’s a huge knockout! That’S the way to go champ! You saw it any thoughts about it.
It was.
He just was an opponent yeah.
It looked like to me: that’s how good the other guy did.
The black was the black guy uh, fighting the uh hispanic guy or something right.
No, no.
This is uh uh richard torres, the big white guy with the mustache.
You know what we’re we’re gon na play, the slime.
Okay.
Here we go here we go here.
We go guys so this is them.
You know head to head here.
Okay, i just take one: okay, yep hits him with that.
Nice left backs him up right into the corner right into the corner, with that with that straight left right.
Another left to the face this is the first drop, so this is right off right off the belt.
This is the first drop.
This guy doesn’t recover from this at all.
You know this guy is really rethinking wanting to be in the ring right now with torres again here we go.
This is the breakdown of of the first knockdown here.
Okay, he’s got power in these left hands, man and and his right.
He really does just bring it to him the whole time it just feeds him guys.
Do you think that that this guy shouldn’t even have been in the ring last night, with this guy yeah, he did all right till he got knocked [ Laughter, ], okay, the building process for all these upcoming young guys, they’re not going to put them in there With somebody that that’s really going down the line through the process, the match maker opponents – and then the time is right with the right guy, they got to prove themselves.
So this is just the process where they get an opponent.
Is that another guy, a top guy? Daddy for it um richard torres is coming off a silver medal out of the olympics in tokyo, uh.
Every time he’s in this ring here he you know he he’s he’s looking to destroy he’s, not looking to do nothing.
You know he’s getting in there getting the job done: real, quick, okay! So now i’m going to play a slideshow of the actual knockout.
It’S vicious! It’S a vicious knockout, this one’s real big guys so from here when they should have stopped the fight right there, yeah yeah, well that yeah in the first knockdown definitely definitely, but here here we go for the second one yeah.
I can’t really see it.
Second, here comes that big left can see.
The fear in this guy’s face right now, definitely can see.
The fear hits him right in the body puts him on the ropes comes back with that left again.
This connection is just disgusting like right right in the side of the chin right in the neck.
This guy is really rethinking he’s out right.
There he’s out cold as he’s falling, and then richard torres is fast enough to be able to deliver this nasty right hand.
We’Re gon na see right now after this left, he hits him with the left again and then comes through with this big monstrous right hand.
Here comes guys, just smokes right in the face.
Look at that crunch that crunch man – that’s that’s some brain rattle and stuff right there.
It’S dangerous to see this kind of knockout, because there was no protection.
As he went down.
Look at him facing face down yeah face down.
You got hit you face down.
You got hit, i have another angle of it.
I have another angle of the shots i want to.
I want to play that one and then we’ll discuss the whole thing.
Is it delayed reaction with mine? So i’m just going to bear with you.
It’S really silly.
Okay, so this is what it looks like on the other side, the receiving side of what just happened.
Whoa.
I thought he got his jaw broke because his mouth was wide open.
Oh my gosh, honestly wait.
Do you see the ripples in the back of the neck? Like look at the way he’s just connecting here, this is oh, oh, you see the way his neck and everything kind of just like folds over the glove.
He like really took some punishment.
Man with this shot and honestly he was sleeping.
He was sleeping there and then caught another left see he pulls the left away and just comes right back with it hits him again at this point at this point.
This guy doesn’t know what day of the week it is, and then it leaves it wide open for that right hand to just crunch if those ropes weren’t there, this guy was gone like just gone and then and then insult to injury.
Another quick left, as he’s going down to lay out face first in the mat guys he was a silver medal guy got knocked down.
No, the guy that did the knocking out is the silver medalist richard.
The other guy was an opponent yeah.
He definitely was an opponent uh.
You know he was four and two going into that fight.
Uh and you know richard torres was two and oh, with two knockouts going into that fight.
So you know richard torres this guy uh.
You know he’s uh he’s ranked right now: number 59 at the 364 in the united states he’s ranked 232nd out of 1345 in the world, and this kid is only 23.
23 southbound and he’s from uh tulare.
California – and you know this guy he’s he’s gon na – be doing big things in the ring man for for days to come weeks months years to come.
This kid he’s got big heavy hands and he’s definitely showing that he can dominate in the ring uh thoughts, guys james any thoughts.
Well, i don’t know it’s still early to see this guy uh.
You know he hasn’t fought anybody really to to really say how good he’s going to be so we’re going to see how he’s going to be as he uh you know, as he steps up in uh in his opponents and in his fight so uh.
You know he just definitely has to punch his chance and he’s uh.
He looks.
He looked pretty good to me against that guy.
So, like i said, we have to see uh, you know what type of opponents he fights and, let’s see, let’s see how let’s see how well he does against better opposition.
Definitely, definitely i can’t wait to see this guy really get in there uh.
You know they will be testing him really.
I believe this is more of a showcasing uh.
You know to showcase the talent that this kid got you know and that transition from you know going from the olympic style of boxing into the pro and paid ranks, which is a big difference uh in styles of boxing.
So it’s nice to see that he’s transitioning.
Well, um – and you know he does have some skill behind him to be a silver medalist uh.
Will he be able to put that skill to test? Only time will tell, depending on the opponents who are going to test him, but right now anybody they’re putting in front of him who is not in the same kind of skill set man to be honest, he’s just he’s just knocking these guys out man.
I would like to see him.
I will tell you the truth.
I would like to see him fight anderson.
That’S way too soon yeah.
I know, but you know what innocent has a lazy jab that you come over the right hand.
He comes over that jab with the right hand, it’s over yeah.
You know cedric’s chimed in here.
He said he landed it perfect on the chin, uh the first the face plant uh.
You know he was out for about five minutes without moving before before.
He actually woke up.
Uh he’s been looking he’s been looking good, so far, uh, you know, let’s see if he can up uh versus better competition.
You know what let’s see if he can do that, that’s what we really want to see him step it up.
Uh! You know what jared big baby, anderson and him are going to cross paths.
Eventually, let’s be honest, they’re both heavyweights, we better learn some stuff.
You know what yeah you better earn.
Some more stuff anderson, anderson’s gon na need to learn some stuff too because of that little lazy, job defense, defense, tim defense – remember they got to learn defense.
Definitely, no! I see them.
I’Ve seen them seen a fight, and they, if the makers, the builders are building they’d, be building really good and the other guys got just one.
It feels good, but when they cross those paths, that’s when we’re going to really have to talk the debate about what the what the problems are and what the jared anderson we’re going a lot of people.
A lot of people are saying that jared anderson.
You know big baby um, you know he might not be big enough to be in that heavyweight division, but uh you know he does have.
He does have oh he’s big enough right, like they’re they’re they’re questioning, they’re questioning his ability.
What are you talking about the fact that they’re, even contemplating you know even saying, like saying stuff, like that? It’S ridiculous, because, honestly, at 6, 4 240 the man moves like a cruiserweight, and you know he hits like the bigger heavyweights.
Man he’s got jared, anderson’s got heavy hands.
He showed that last night uh he did get caught a little bit himself.
Um, you know he’s got ta he’s got ta, bring that [ __ ] back man but uh.
He looked very comfortable, switching stances last night and uh.
You know in that shouldn’t be switching.
He shouldn’t be switching on one side, that’s all this coach tim and he did say that whatever his coach tells him he listens to so they’re.
Well, that’s what i’m saying it might get caught like that yeah! That’S what i’m saying you need to stay on one side, uncomfortable he ain’t comfortable! That way.
So why do there you go here, you go! You keep switching on both sides, either you’re getting tired on the side or you’re getting hit on one side and he switches to, and some people just like to switch both ways.
But i’d like for the guy to stay on one side get that down pack.
It seems like you’re, an amateur when you keep switching back and forth, but if you keep winning keep doing what you’re doing bottom line.
Well, no doubt, but you got ta, you know dog tim.
You say it right, because when you switch, you have to switch for the right reasons, not because you’re tired, not because you know you want to you’re just switching you.
You switch for the right reasons, if you’re going to do it and be comfortable on that side.
As well – and i like to see, i like to see big baby tighten up on his jab, bring the jab all the way back, don’t leave it, don’t leave it low because the the shorter guys they’re coming with the overhand right, i’m telling you yeah, you know They’Re going to be coming with that, and you don’t want to get caught with that, he got caught with it last night.
Good thing he’s got a chin.
You know, like good thing he’s got a chain.
He got caught last night a couple times.
You know he that that fight could have went either way um, you know if the right guy, if if there was a different guy standing in front of him um, you know, i think that that could have been a different match.
Man that could have been a different outcome, but definitely yeah.
He does have to tighten up uh.
You know, as we see him climb, the ranks you know he improved last night.
He’S got that undefeated record and you know he’s just knocking out everybody, but they’re going to start.
The thing should have been new, no doubt no, no doubt plus he was a little rusty too.
He was he’d been awful for a while too.
So i understand that as well.
Oh yeah um also guys just saying another video.
I believe that one was uh the nick um yeah.
I believe that was uh which, which one nick jones jeremiah milton nick jones um yeah jeremiah milton improved his record man to 6-0 uh with that big ko man, those two big black dudes heavyweights, massive guys, uh nick jones who’s 9-4-0 – that was another nasty knockout uh.
I just had to give it a shout out man, you know nick jones he’s one of these young hungry, up-and-comers um.
You know he hasn’t fought too many people, not too many people know him um and jeremiah milton this kid.
This is the kid to watch out for man uh, you know nick jones, he was.
He was a thing until he got his first loss, um handed to him handed to him by uh, fa and jogba.
So you guys remember him.
So nick jones is a big deal um.
You know he went 7-0 until he stepped in the ring with faa jagba uh back in september 30th of 2018 and uh.
He got ko’d in the first round by ajogba uh.
Then he went on a two.
A a two fight losing streak and you know two more uh he came in through with two more wins and then you know he’s been knocked out in his last two jeremiah milton be on the lookout for this kid you’re hearing it from me.
This kid is six and oh right now, with five knockouts he’s only 28.
.
This kid is six four.
You said he only 28 28 yen zone he’s only 28 he’s six four, with an 80 inch reach, and he weighed in last night.
He weighed in last night at 245 and a half pounds.
So here’s.
What would you just say, ain’t me to cut you off.
I need to cut you off.
You say it’s only 28.
.
That’S all [ Music, ] 22 is young yeah, but 28 he’s still kind of young he’s still young.
You know for a heavy weight man heavy weights.
They got some longevity in there.
Man come on champ, okay, oh champ, you in your 60s you’re about to get in the ring yeah man, but uh yeah, honestly watch out for this kid jeremiah milton man uh.
I think i think he’s gon na you know he’s gon na definitely turn some heads.
He definitely should uh make some exciting fights.
Man uh, you know heavy hands guys got a chin, not afraid to get in there and do battle uh, definitely one to watch on under cards in the future.
If he’s there man, it’s definitely gon na, be a good fight uh.
If, if this kid’s on a man so jeremiah be on the lookout for him, and i’ve been watching this kid, since he turned pro and uh yeah man he’s just he’s, crushing people and we got ta, we got a great bunch of heavyweights coming up through the Ranks right now out of the united states and uh honestly man, the the brits got to look out man.
The brits got to look out.
We definitely got some serious heavyweight contenders that can climb in the future into those top 10 ranks and start putting some of those belts around their waist anyway.
What are your thoughts guys? I agree, but i i agree with you.
It’S about time.
Uh i’ve been waiting on the heavyweights to see who’s coming up uh, you know, especially out of the united states, so it’s gon na be uh real, interesting man.
I can’t wait to see – and i hope, they’re i hope, they’re real, complete, like to see somebody moving like ali in there.
Definitely definitely we need to we need somebody moving like i leave and we need a guy running through guys like mike tyson.
Did that’s what we we and be all flashy and great and fly in that ring, but we also need a guy to just crush through the competition like a mike tyson.
Did that’s what we need so guys yeah.
I think we’re gon na see this man uh.
Definitely i’d like to see jared, you know tighten up a little bit uh.
I understand with ring rust, but uh richard torres.
You know he is it’s literally the same recipe every time we see him in a fight right now.
You know come in first round, i’m gon na smash you it’s done it’s over.
It’S quick yeah.
We got it.
Let’S put him in front of somebody that can do some damage and uh.
You know, let’s test him a little bit on this next one, because honestly, these these first three have been really really easy and uh with this last one in this devastating knockout uh.
You know it’s time to put some real competition in front of this guy.
Really you see um promoters and managers put put their product um in front of somebody really really tough um in the beginning.
Okay, i’m sorry go ahead.
Oh we just had it.
We just had a comment.
Come in said, uh, okay, uh, tim witherspoon would be a good boxing trainer for trevor bryan.
I’M fully confident, i think, would anyone put anybody in front of me.
Put anybody in front of me i’ll hold them right out as long as yup stay training long as they train hard and doing the work people to do i’ll, be confident, defense, all friends, i’m glad i had a trainer that knew all this stuff, one of their Old timers around everybody.
Now never look at joshua, yeah, look at wilder yeah, you know it’s a shame.
You know, and i was talking on the on the on the radio this morning.
Somebody called me from england and i was telling them about.
I don’t want to talk.
It was asking me questions.
I said i don’t want to talk about um uh, uh, dante wilder, because malik scott got upset with me and if it was tyson making these comments, they wouldn’t say no, that’s what i like about todd tyson.
So i said something about malik scott and um dante wilder at the big fight and malik got offended.
He started.
I just was telling him that he needed help and why that makes sense.
So so, if tyson would have said that tyson would have said that if tyson would have said that he would say nothing to mike, that’s what i like about my mind.
He stood up.
He sit up there and tell you like it is, but a nice guy like me, i’m tough too, but next guy.
Like me opinion, then you go.
Oh man.
Why are you going to say stuff like that brother also, but i was on chat telling the truth.
Yeah and malik is a good brother, but now there’s no defense, there’s no anything and whatever they’re doing i see the video he needs.
He needs a good job and a tight defense.
That’S what he needs and learn how to slip and keep us deep inside.
He don’t need the pad work that he’s doing.
He got concentrated on defense.
You know the truth hurts tim.
You know.
I say like this.
If the truth so set you free, what would a lie? Do you know what i’m talking about? I never heard that’s good.
That was good.
I like that man uh.
You heard that here guys right here on this, show: yo hey you got it well, you know, i think, we’re going to end it on that.
