Let’S do it we live.
I know you don’t need to do that, though.
Um welcome to talk and fight and another episode of knuckle up with mike orr at four how’s.
It going going very well mike just don’t blow my eardrums out next time.
Oh sorry, i didn’t see you have headphones on there um yeah, so we have an ongoing series of new and upcoming fighters, both male and female, in the professional ranks, typically uh knockout type boxers.
Oh, you know who who we both enjoy so who, who do you have lined up for us today? Uh virgil, ortiz jr, that name rings a bell does right.
It does because you know what he had a very busy 2019 actually uh.
He fought four times.
I believe and uh stopped all of his opponents uh.
You know.
I love these knockout guys.
Man uh again he’s another undefeated 100 perfect knockout artist.
This kid’s got 16 bouts, 16 16 knockouts uh yeah 2019.
He was real busy man, he uh.
He beat some um.
Some you know up and come well not up, and he beat some guys who were really.
You know have staked their name in his weight, division and uh.
He did it impressively man, stopping all these guys.
Ortiz is pretty much the stake to garcia’s sizzle under the golden boy promotions banner.
This young man he’s a hard-hitting welterweight uh he’s got legitimate power in both hands uh he trains under the guidance of robert garcia and, like i said man, he defeated these veterans in 2019 um in an impressive fashion.
Man.
This kid he’s going to be some a force to be reckoned with man.
If, if we can get, you know the ball rolling again with his uh, with his fights being as many as he likes to do like last year.
Unfortunately, due to covid kid only had one fight, but he came out on top um golden boy’s trying to put him up in.
You know up into some quick fights so that he can get to those title contentions real fast.
You know how much i love these guys man, this guy is a legitimate knockout artist check him out.
I’M pretty sure all you fight fans out there probably already seen him because of the people that he’s been fighting but be on the lookout for him in 2021.
To do some big things under golden boy um, i love this kid man, like literally legitimate knockout power in egypt.
I can’t i can’t say more than that.
You know 16.
16.
You know 16 knockouts he’s the guy man he’s another one of these kids and you know with all these undefeated guys and all these weight classes right now.
Man, some of these guys that i’ve been i’ve been telling you about are gon na have to fall.
So there’s gon na be a lot of exciting fights man with all these undefeateds gon na be facing off against each other and the fact that they’re all knockout artists, man, i think we’re up for a really good 2021 full of fights uh.
What weight class do you have uh? He fights as a uh.
I believe it’s uh well, he’s 510 70 inch reach and i believe he fights at uh.
I think it’s late with yeah light, welter and welterweight.
So he’s he’s a two division, but yeah he’s got a long.
He’S got a long reach.
Man 70 inches he’s only 510 man like that.
That’S huge, huge reach, and what’s our boy canelo in uh, canelo canelo, i believe, is uh.
Another lightweight.
Isn’T he? I just wonder if they were in the same weight class uh, i believe so i believe they are um.
Canelo is actually uh.
Middleweight yeah he’s well, no middleweight welter light heavy super middle light.
Middleweight and, like oh yeah, light welter man they could have.
They don’t have an opportunity to face off against each other, but you know canelo’s the man right now we’ll have to see what uh his 2021 has geared up for him.
I believe he’s got a couple of fights in the talks right now, so it’s it’s all depends on what the promotion companies are going to do for each one of these fighters.
Man, i’m pretty sure, i’m pretty sure.
I know we’re talking about virgil, ortiz jr today, but i’m pretty sure canelo’s lined up for a february 27th bout down in miami uh.
I can’t remember who he’s going off against, though, but anyway, just talking briefly about uh that weight class, i thought i i thought they were in the same way cloud honestly truthfully, man that that that weight crap that weight class there – that’s hovering.
Like you know these light light, welters and lights all the all those little.
You know the few pounds that differentiate all these all these weight classes.
Man – and you got all this talent man.
These this talent pool is becoming so thick that um man we’re gon na see some we’re gon na see some epic battles.
I think in the next in the next calendar year, man and i’m me personally – i’m geared up and i’m so excited to watch all these bouts.
All these young fighters, man they’re, coming out.
You know like being listed.
Half these guys that i’m talking about are listed on these on these, you know top 25 under 25 or top 10 pound for pound fighters.
You know under 25 and that’s where i’m getting a lot of this information that these guys are really.
You know they’re going to be the next.
The next big things in the sport they’re, the guys who are gon na, carry the torch on after the guys that you know we grew up well, i grew up loved and watched and and the guys that i’ve you know been watching over the last few years As they start to get older and they’re starting, you know and they’re on their way.
Out of you know the ring we got at least a really good talent pool to continue on bringing us exciting boxing matches, which i am ecstatic for.
You know i’d be i’d, be i’d, be worried if the talent pool wasn’t as thick as as it is.
I you know i’d be, have some concerns, but i think boxing in the next couple of years is really gon na really gon na stake its claim in the combative sports world and really bring us some exciting matches which i’m i’m geared up for.
I i absolutely concur, and i just uh did a quick little search.
My own here, uh canal is set to face a guy by the name of avni yildram at the super middleweight.
Ah, that’s right! Yieldrum! That’S about that fight! I believe we talked about it on the friday panel um yeah, we did yep, that’s uh, that’s that’s a weird step, that’s a weird step for alvarez and uh.
I think it’s only because he’s trying to duck that that triple fight with uh, you know it’s what it is really when we think about it.
Um you know he’s triple g is one of those guys that you can’t really.
You know you can’t you got to be careful, and i think alvarez is ducking him is, is what it is.
I think he’s just waiting about to that.
That age thing uh comes into a factor where he knows he can dominate and uh.
He can use his young bones and young skills to beat up an old man.
I think it’s actually waiting for so you know, but he can’t you know, alvarez.
He might be the king, the king right now at his weight, but let’s be real with the talent pool as thick.
It is as it is, and these kids as hungry as they are and as busy as they are in their divisions.
Let’S be real man, it’s not going to be long before he’s he’s on ground is.
What’S going to happen, you know it’s just going to take that right, young guy and there’s a bunch of them out there.
Man, like there’s a ton of them, and i bring them to you every week, guys these guys are belt contenders.
Believe me, when i’m telling you this watch their fights watch their highlights, watch whatever you can put them on your radar.
These kids knock people out and that’s what we want to see.
We don’t like going the distance, only the distance sucks, because then we leaving the judge’s hands.
You never know what happens, man never leave in the judge’s hands and that’s what these guys are doing.
Man they’re not given the opportunity, like, i believe in 2019 uh ortiz jr.
He fights these veterans.
None of those fights even came out of the sixth round.
So like this kid is the real deal.
Man not neil the deal, the real deal and on that note, with the bill coming up tonight, um tonight, what’s up neil, i hope you’re watching, because you know i watch you religiously, as well and my fans out there please watch neil the deal watch the female Fist watch the scoop and the friday night panel make sure you subscribe to the damn channel.
It’S not like you know, come on man.
You got ta help us out here.
We got ta we’re gon na hit that next threshold man pass it on to your friends.
Watch us we’re interesting trust me big, big things uh.
I know i did bring it to their attention that uh there was.
There was a fight that was supposed to happen, maybe between mcgregor and manny this year, but um after mcgregor’s loss to dustin, poirier he’s uh.
Apparently, lost that opportunity to fight manny for some big money this year um.
I guess because of that upsetting uh.
You know second round knockout uh, that danny poirier gave to him and uh yeah and he’s also lost the opportunity to fight jake paul who’s been on his butt, calling him out.
You know making fun of his wife, making fun of his life.
Everything – and you know jake paul is like hey man.
You would have had 50 million now we’re only going to offer you 10 000 bucks.
So you know, i don’t know what conor mcgregor was thinking stepping into the ufc ring to make 5 million bucks when he’s literally lost out on a 50 million dollar payday this year alone, but yeah, that’s another, that’s another good thing was that you know manny would Have destroyed him, i think it would have been a big hurt to his ego, but right now the big hurt to his ego was the fact that he lost to poise got knocked out so, unfortunately fight fans.
I don’t think we’re gon na get to see.
Mcgregor lose again to another amazing veteran future hall of fame boxer.
That’S it man! That’S that’s all we can say about that.
But on that note fans again watch this kid virgil, ortiz jr! You trust me he’s exciting legitimate power.
This kid’s gon na hold the belt watch for his team to be pushing him to fight as many fights as they can this year because they want to put they want to put a belt on him, and this kid can do it.
Man he’s, you know, he’s he’s the real deal, man, you know how i say it.
