Oh yeah, hello, boxing fans around the world.
Thank you for joining us once again for another episode of the Friday night panel featuring Tim, Witherspoon two-time, former heavyweight champion of the world, Mike Orr from Knuckle Up Fame, who had a great interview this afternoon with Jasmine Ortega, fantastic.
What the animal I know and the great answer as to why she calls herself the animal or why what’s her last fight man, the way she drops um, you know what I’m gon na spoil it for you I’ll, actually just put a link to it.
On that interview, it was a great.
It was a great interview and well done Mike um, but you know what okay sorry before you get going, there’s only one thing I want to talk about tonight and – and I’ve been mentioning it every single day, because I can’t believe there’s something new to report.
Every single day, these guys have kept the momentum going.
Let’S talk just for a brief moment.
Let’S talk about this Jake Paul, Tommy, Fury fight just for a brief moment uh, because I can’t believe what happened today at the press conference.
Okay, I’ve never seen this before and maybe you have to.
Maybe you have Mike, but I haven’t where some guy says.
Can I just quote this because it’s doing good? Okay, so so Jake Paul and Tommy free they’re at the press conference uh there’s a normal array of people at the table.
I don’t know if you saw it or not all right, they’re getting in each other’s faces.
They’Re trash talking, okay but then uh, Fury, Tommy Fury, promised to put Paul to sleep inside four rounds and said and said the YouTuber.
You know: turnpro boxer has made easy money, fighting old men and celebrities.
So then so then Jake Paul says I think we make a deal then, since you’re, so confident if you win I’ll pay, you double what I’m paying you already.
But if I win, I take everything that I’m paying you Deal or No Deal all right.
So so, hang on so Jake Paul gets up ready to shake hands, but uh Tommy, Fury, kind of backs off a little bit and uh tells Jake Paul sit back down so they’re both getting really angry at each other anyway.
Jake Paul refuses to return to his chair and he says, come on answer the question right.
So uh Tommy fears dad pipes up right.
This is the former.
You know bare, knuckler, okay, he pipes up and he goes You’ve Got A Deal All or Nothing so I’ve.
Never seen this uh have you ever seen that at a press conference I mean he shouldn’t have did that really I’ve been analyzing both of those boxers.
I love time.
I love Tommy, love, Jake, Paul, I’m a big brother in boxing I’m not going to be down.
Nobody we’ve been, we’ve been studying these videos, we started the show right, yeah, I’m sorry, I’ve been studying them both.
I want to tell us how you really feel and no listen.
I hung out with the gypsies date my buddies.
They my buddies.
I love them, but we people want to hear the truth.
People want to hear something like the truth or somebody would experience explain to them, so they could get a better idea who to pick now.
I watch videos of Tommy and I watch videos of Jake Paul Jake Paul is much more aggressive, much more polished off Tommy fights just like his brother right and he always retreating after he jabbed he’ll Retreat after you do some Retreat.
He put his hands out for defense when he can get countered.
Um we’ve been doing, we’ve been, but Jake Paul come back like this, but Tommy fights like his brother.
So we did a podcast and I was like um.
I think Jake Paul within five rounds, and I have to tell the truth, even though I hung out with the gypsies, I love them brothers and sisters over there.
That’S like England is my second home, but people want to hear the truth from guys that have a little bit experience, so I think that Jake Paul within five rounds.
I you know what I think I think Tommy Fury has a whole lot of nerves that he’s gon na have to get over, because he has a hell of a lot riding on this fight and honestly, that’s gon na play a huge part.
You know he’s Jake Paul really doesn’t have to get in his head because you know who’s going to be in his head.
Tommy Fury is going to be in his own head because you know what he’s got the pride of like boxing riding on this win.
You know you’re gon na have this YouTuber come in this fake boxer that everybody’s calling him he’s going to come in and he’s gon na.
Take it from you, you know.
That’S I’m surprised that um Jake Paul’s progress, I’m really impressed I’ve seen him hitting the pads I’ve seen Tommy Fury – and I said oh okay Tommy got heart.
He got heart.
Jake Paul got both of it.
Look look at uh, two, two things here: one what Tommy Fury’s dad said after as the press conference was winding down, he goes basically, he says my son doesn’t deserve to get paid if he loses to Jake Paul yeah.
That’S right he’s taking listen the king of the gypsies, the bare Knuckles, okay, the king of the bare knuckle men will take that Fury, name right off his like right off him he’ll be like no, your name’s Tommy, but but here’s what I did think of it Peculiar about this whole thing, okay, because Tommy Fury is managed by top rank right he’s signed to they’re stable.
So I would just I just I was P.
I didn’t understand why there was no uh, because, because Jake Paul said, hey I’ve already written up the my lawyers have already written up the contract uh so anyway.
So it’s a very peculiar situation and I’m really looking forward to it.
I have to say we have been for a while um now the other thing that came into play – and you discussed it with Jasmine this afternoon – Mike uh – was one Jake.
Paul has done uh.
You know, I’ve said a lot.
I mean why don’t these uber wealthy boxers put their money where their mouths are and start their own promotions, companies and begin to take up young boxers causes, put them in the ring and develop their careers.
Just like what Tim was saying before we started right.
So so that’s what he did do he started MVP and he signed a couple of really good boxers and he started their careers.
Okay and the other thing is, is the newest edition yeah Ashton Sylvie, and we have uh Amanda, Serrano and honestly uh.
You know congrats, you know you’ve, you put these people in in good wooden sign if you got a million dollars on the plate right, but you know what it’s it’s who’s offering.
That million dollars to sign right.
Nobody that’s the thing Jake Paul was like you know what here I’ll offer it all offer it came out of his pocket, but the other thing, the other thing that was interesting, uh that Jasmine said uh and it didn’t really occur to me until she said it.
So I’ll give her credit.
Her credit is due, and that is the other thing where Jake Paul put his money into was his foundation, and I forget what it’s called: let’s call it uh boxing against bullies or something like that.
It’S it’s a it’s a you know.
Anti-Bullying anti-bullying Foundation, okay, but Jasmine made a really good point, because that’s how Jake Paul makes his money is by bullying other people, like his social media tweets all this week have been nothing but negative.
I mean I mean he he is he’s.
Taunted he’s thrown everything at the he’s even involved Tommy, Fury’s, wife and Tommy Fury’s baby and into this as well.
So you know, Jake Paul is pulling out all the stops when it comes to bullying his opponent, uh and, and you know, making this a real.
You know I mean who who said it I’ll take your head off.
I can’t remember now, which one said it, but I mean that’s how vicious their taunting is getting I mean, did you ever speak like that before a match Tim? Did, you ever say say stuff like that, didn’t need to you know the Communist was there.
I don’t need to, I don’t need to pump the confidence.
Was there with my the skills um with Larry Holmes, we went back and forth.
I was young, I was young and just learning, but not like this.
It was.
It was really cool stuff that we, I said you know, and he was saying to knock me out and take my girlfriend from me, knock me out and put me on welfare that type of thing, but but not like what Tyson said, rip your rip, your kid’s Head off fit in it, you know on that eat your children I did I did.
I did like like talk stuff like that, but then I did mostly like we.
Let’S Get It, Let’s Get It On, Let’s Get It On In The Rain.
You know, but they give you some words and that could lead in the height hype, more hyper.
Things too keep saying them things.
You know well, interestingly enough.
This must be one of the first fights that I’ve seen being co-promoted by ESPN and the Zone.
Uh ESPN has it for uh, United States and England, I believe uh, but the Zone has it for Canada and a few other countries as well.
So I haven’t seen a split uh pay-per-view deal before this.
One is a ESPN plus ppv BT, Sport fight TV event, wow, so everyone’s getting at peace.
Everybody is these games in this one and uh.
You know it’s uh, it’s great, because you know the the the co-main for the WBC Cruiserweight title macaboo Badoo Jack.
It’S gon na be uh.
That’S gon na be a great fight to watch, but uh.
Do you think? Do you really think battery Jack deserves to be there? No! No! I I couldn’t figure that one out.
I know these guys need they need to walk their way up the ladder, but that’s what’s causing boxing to be the way it is.
You know he Jake Paul, just jumping all the way up there and not walking is not fighting his way up the ladder.
Um he’s causing the real boxing thing to be like to me, isn’t like a joke, but it’s good in terms of of them, making money and like like Showbiz.
But when you get down to the real boxing.
That’S suffering you’re, letting the guy just come right in and they making big shots.
That’S good! You can pay your money for the for the fight.
Oh, that’s an interesting fight, but what about those boxers trying to work their way up? You know I feel for them.
Dumb guys, look Jake Paul, that’s what I dedicate that’s.
What I dedicate my show to Knuckle Up is putting those people on Spotlight to show that there are people out there that are capable of headlining these pay-per-views around the world and I’ll tell you right now.
There are guys that I’ve been following for a couple of years now that have had that opportunity and now are headlining those pay-per-views Devin Haney yo.
Like honestly, no we’ve got, we’ve got Floyd Schofield gets signed to Golden Boy heads up the promotion right.
We got Brian Norman Jr.
Another kid just got picked up by top rank.
You know all these kids that are coming up, that I’ve been watching for a long time that have gone.
You know through through all these little cracks.
You know people hear their names but don’t know who they are.
But now you know what they’re starting to put faces to these names.
Man – and it’s kids like this – that are out there – that you know a lot of people, don’t know they could whoop some ass man.
There are.
There are some dangerous Fighters out there that just don’t get the opportunities opened up for them to be able to get to these Grand stages and make these big dollars on the on the opposite end of the spectrum uh another headline that uh hit.
The news today was the fact that uh Andy Ruiz Jr has left PBC and he’s now a free agent.
Now I don’t know how old he is, or I think the last time he fought.
He lost anyway, and that was like two years ago, but I’m sitting there thinking to myself realistically there’s only so many managers, there’s only so many promoters.
Therefore, there’s only so many fighters who can actually be actively managed and promoted and there’s only so many fights you can put on in any given week or in any given month.
So realistically, when Andy Ruiz says, oh I’ve left PVC, I’m now a free agent.
He’S 33.
but who’s going to pick him up like who’s going to pick them up the last time he fought was Louis Ortiz and that was uh September of last year.
So I’m just did you win or lose? No.
He won by unanimous decision fair enough so but he’s a heavyweight that I think he’s on the way he’s the heavyweight who fights once a year, if the, if that, because the fight before that was well Chris Arreola, and that was me uh in mostly May the First 2021: it was like a year when, when these older guys, though finally step down it, creates room for younger guys to step in is what I’m saying.
So there has to be some line drawn when it comes to like.
Should anyone be really chasing Andy Ruiz Jr? No, if you step out and say I’m leading PBC, I’m now a free agent, I don’t know how many guys are knocking on the door when they’re all these other young guys uh speak speaking of young guys.
Did you see uh tank Davis and Ryan Garcia have agreed to fight? Well, finally, it’s set for April and see what’s happening.
Yeah.
That’S not that’s something! That’S something I’m looking forward to, because that’s a good division, that’s a good division! That’S a great division.
Can’T wait to see these guys get in there and smash it out yeah! Oh, I just wanted to um so so that Jake Paul um thing or sorry anti-bullying is called boxing bullies um yeah yeah.
He gave away a hundred hundreds of signed, gloves um, and their mission is uh to help instill confidence.
Courage and Leadership into youth through the sport of boxing boxing gave me a purpose.
It gave me something to fight for so I’m hoping to be able to share that with you guys, because I think it is the best sport in the world.
Our mission is to fight back against bullying, because bullying is such a problem in our generation and having been a bully myself, it’s okay, to realize that you’re bullying and stop it and change and become a better person.
That’S our mission at boxing bullies quote Jake Paul.
That’S good fair enough.
He is so he is admitting that he is a bully where’s.
Your bully at though he’s he’s a he’s, he’s he’s a Troll he’s.
He trolls people yeah.
He gets online, he gets in people’s heads, you know come on.
I got your hat with Floyd Mayweather.
Yes right, they went and got that [ __, ] tattooed, or what is it? Was it uh? But I love Jake Paul.
I love Jake Paul, like He’s a Bully, we get it, but you know what it’s it sells.
Tickets and honestly, at the end of the day when you’re fighting the object of the game, is to put asses in the seats and sell tickets, and that’s exactly what he’s doing well, I like to see good fights me too me too, and maybe one day, maybe One day he will have learned enough and his boxing IQ and his strengths and skills will will equal out and he will be able to produce a good fight.
Maybe it will happen well, you know if he start from the bottom to the top.
That’S what uh is unfair for him, because he got money and he’s a celebrity that he does that it’s just unfair for the rest of the guys.
I’M a boxer, former boxer yeah, that’s just not right! Let it work be worth more if he started from the bottom and and and went to the top, but people want to see Showbiz and see that, but the real thing is: if you start up from the bottom, I don’t know if he’ll make it you know, Can you think, can you think of the crazy following you would have had too if, if he literally started boxing gotten the amateurs you know spent a year in the amateurs fought, 10 or 12 fights first before becoming a pro you could have he could he could Have been more respected that way, I think I do have an interesting question, though I mean, wouldn’t it make more sense if you were allowed to just if you were rich like he is to hire anyone you like and challenge anyone you like now in his case, What we’ve always argued is his opposition has been older, fellows MMA fellas.
You know stuff like that.
Mingling called me, I’m sorry! Oh you have to answer England, no he’s in America now from London he’s from London.
Was he saying hey, I’m watching you on talking faith? Uh, he probably uh, probably trying to get some drinks and smoke a weed or something uh, pretty good Friday night, they’re too much fun, probably so.
Yeah probably sounds like a pretty good Friday night for some fights.
So so what I was saying what I was saying there when you were on the phone uh ordering pizza um, I I really I really like it when uh you know I, if, if there were more of them, this would be make it even more interesting, but If there were more of them, um more Jake Paul’s and they had more money well, actually, then then, you’re talking about Creator Clash, aren’t you I’m just gon na, say uh.
If you had more of these guys, they would actually create Jake, Paul’s and and hell, and and what I’m saying what I’m saying, though, is is because he actually hires hire, pays nutritionists, trainers, all sorts of staff.
So a lot there’s a lot of people that are actually employed by him to make him a boxer.
There’S a lot of boxers have a lot of like his Fitness and nutritionist people, but he has the money to actually do it yourself.
But there’s a lot of boxes now like when I was boxing um, it was just starting or go to a fitness.
Go get a nutritionist go, get this go, get that and train chop wood hit the speed bags and all that yeah.
That’S what they get right.
So I’m I’m! You know it makes me wonder whether or not uh, because if just for example, if he was able to challenge the number one ranked guy in the division right now, I mean would that guy be able to fight him.
And the answer is no.
But wouldn’t it be, wouldn’t it be interesting to see if he could, because then Jake Paul would get beaten and that’d be the end of his career in boxing right? It’S unfair! If they do that, it’s unfair for them guys that’s working hard, but it certainly would be entertaining, which I think is what we said when when when Jake Paul originally entered the ring, that was exactly, I think, what every single boxing fan said: yeah if he was To fight a real and that’s what I’m saying so, if you’re going to make it interesting, let him let him let him challenge for the number one spot right off the if, if he thinks he’s got all the money and all the skills that he can knock Off the top can – and I’m talking the top very whoever’s on the top of his Brendan Glenn, who Brandon glanton is the top guy in the US right now.
He’S uh 31 years old from Riverside California, he’s 170 1-0 and then right under him is Allante green uh, followed by Andrew tabithi, uh Adrian Taylor, and then our friend, our friend, the Muslim boxer, mushon kaison uh.
What what class is that in the cruiserweight right, Cruiser, yeah, okay, yeah, so yeah he’s not telling he wouldn’t even be touching the time.
Well, Floyd beat the hell out of him.
Floyd beat the hell out of me.
No, that was his brother huh.
That was his brother Logan Paul, oh yeah, there’s two there’s two paws there’s two paws.
We have to deal with and actually aren’t they gon na fight them.
Each other wasn’t.
Wasn’T there a news item that came out? They might fight each other.
They really want they’re.
Really messed in this box and things that that’d be hilarious.
Well, you know well, okay, if, if like I just said, if there was more managers and more promoters, then we’d have more and better fights, quite frankly, yeah uh, I’d love to see him.
Take I’d love to see him take on the top of any like come on like okay number 26 in the world is Thomas McCarty I mean we.
We had a former promoter, uh Rick Glaser on the show yeah.
I remember Rick, and he was saying his his opinion on all of this was boxing would be much better in a much better position, uh if it was shown on normal TV like whether it be fox or a CBS or ABC.
Excuse me like it used to be yeah man, Friday Night Fights Thursday night fights right Saturday fights right, so that that’s what that’s what he was saying, because, right now, when you, when you’re looking at pay-per-view, you’ve only got a very small segment of the population.
Who can afford whether it’s 59 or 79, whatever the asking price? Is so it’s not it’s not.
You know, I mean pay-per-view was gone.
Fight.
Tv is 36.
99 for the Paul fight by the way, guys and if you’re 36.
99 yeah yeah, that’s U.
S, and if you’re looking uh, if you’re looking to uh, buy it on one of the other uh platforms, ESPN’s got it on for 49.
99 on.
I watch it at somebody else’s house um, I’m just gon na watch it on my uh private TV, no problem, Chad, no problem.
You know I got you so so the Tommy Fury, fight and and Jake Paul.
I will watch it because I know the Gypsy guys.
I was around them and um, I don’t really know I feel like.
I know them more than I definitely know them more than I know Jake um I wouldn’t pay for it.
I still would go find somewhere to watch it, but it is a good fight with people is interesting, but people are going to want to see that one cause a Tyson Fury, Tommy Fury his dad on that.
That’S that’s the main attraction I think um, oh yeah, Jake Paul yeah definitely definitely made attraction.
That’S what’s gon na sell it! That’S what everybody’s? What that’s? What everybody around the world’s waiting to see um? Are you guys familiar with the term Sports watching? No, so it also in the news this week there was an interesting term thrown around, especially and specifically uh regarding uh boxing in Saudi Arabia.
Oh because you know, there’s a couple of things that they do a little differently in Saudi Arabia and by bringing over these these types of fights these types of events, they seem to be uh, swaying public opinion uh towards how good and how kind and how? How humble they are um now from the dummy definition for everybody out there.
It refers to the ways in which a country invests in sports to promote its reputation on a global stage and deflect attention away from less favorable of its attractions and its institutions.
So I think I think that hit the next one don’t watch this guys right, [, Laughter, ] and anyway, I’d never heard that term.
Before this week.
Neither and there you go so Jake Paul’s, Jake, Paul’s, doing the Saudis, a favor Adrian Broner, Michael Williams, Jr, has been postponed.
Yeah.
We announced that last week, yeah we got hurt or something right: yep, yeah uh.
You know he uh.
He got an injure injury during spine, which has made it impossible for him to participate.
Uh, yeah, uh the later date and new opponent will be announced uh.
We understand the disappointment that everybody feels um yeah.
I would have liked to see that I thought it would have been good uh.
It’S got to be kind of, it’s got to be kind of a a sore one for uh BLK, Prime right uh.
Definitely you know they spent a lot of money on on advertising and promoting that fight, and you know just to have it go down with not even a last minute replacement.
They couldn’t even find a last minute replacement.
So it’s unfortunate God man.
We should have recommended Tim well what what to go to go, beat up Adrian Broner yo, I’m in good shape.
Right now, he’s like y’all beat his ass too, he’s too small for me, but I’m in shape right now, um.
If somebody said Tim, we got ta fight next Friday, I’m ready I’ve been TR.
I’Ve been running uh.
My weight is down to 239 238 first time in 30 years, um so that I’ve been going to Johannes Gym training and hitting the heavy bags.
So my shoulder was hurt just the first time that I did the ropes today.
I did the ropes because my shoulders, my shoulders was hurt and my back, but that’s one of the reasons why I’m staying I’m staying in fit just in case they uh.
They say something: if it’s next week, I’m ready I’m strong.
I don’t have no girlfriend.
That’S right, I’m just bullying, I’m bullying Shania.
All the time my daughter I saw I saw Mike Tyson was in the uh.
The ringside crowd there for that that press conference does anyone whatever happened to his League of Legends or whatever the heck it was called.
You went to sleep real, quick, hey I had like had like one or two fights it was making headlines bringing in.
Maybe he ran out of old guys to fight, I don’t know well after what was it after uh Holyfield got knocked out the way he did you know, I don’t think I don’t think there were too many guys that wanted to get back in there and Zab Judah had his celebrity uh boxing yeah.
He still, I think he threw another one uh just late in the summer there didn’t he, he I think, he’s put on two or three of them.
I wouldn’t not hesitate to get in that ring serious, but you didn’t.
You know it’s making a comeback.
Hmm you ready for this, I’m ready! They just did this announce it a new pillow fight League, oh God, it’s gon na be better than that Russian card.
Jiu Jitsu! I showed you.
Oh, I don’t understand what you mean.
They’Re gon na be hitting each other with pillows, I’m not kidding, I’m not kidding in a real in a real boxing ring.
These guys are swinging, bobbin weaving, and I think I’ve seen something like that.
If you get a nice, if you get a nice, you know feather count down filled.
You know you can knock some people out with that man.
Trust me, trust me, you get a good swing, get all those feathers pulled down to the one side.
It’S like a huge like I’ve, seen that I’ve seen that about 10 years.
I’M not I’m done.
I don’t even know what that was.
You’Ve done it.
Oh yeah, I’m knocked people over the pillow.
Oh my God.
Damn I mean you just got ta get a new pillow with a brick in it.
Well trust me once those feathers all clumped together, it’s like getting hit with a brick, hmm, all right, yo we got some fights.

You know they reached the top of their respective divisions in barting, not quite rare, as one might think, uh chill Brothers right.
They’Ve done it uh, but the Maloney brothers are quite competitive and, needless to say, their biggest challenge has been, but each other Maloney Brothers hail from Australia and have been each other’s uh, been each other’s side for as long as they can remember.
Uh boxing as a sport started as a hobby for the twin brothers who were more inclined towards football growing up in Victoria, Australia, um yeah.

Yeah like it’s supposed to something to do with the Maloney Brothers Manny any Pacquiao rematch after call out the prospect of meeting Manny Pacquiao in a high profile, rematch wow, Manny, Pacquiao Junior interested in history, making Pro event with Dad.
Oh former British box.
This is that it says his dad is in shape for a comeback.
If the offer is correct and could return to the professional side of the sport wow.
That’S that’s not what I was thinking of, but anyway and Floyd Mayweather has dismissed talks of facing YouTube sensation.
Jake Paul or his Nemesis and Manny Pacquiao laughs, um to fight for the world title: okay, Andrew Jason, yeah as part of the Blockbuster Championship push also involving Mega star Manny Pacquiao, oh Ben yeah, Connor Ben, to be fighting Manny Pacquiao.
Have you heard of this? I’Ve seen him hitting the pass.
He just look pretty strong, Conor band was deemed to be positive.
Hang on.
How do you say this negative there? Okay, I can’t remember how it goes, but he was cleared.
His name was cleared and he’s ready to start fighting again.
Uh, a steam journalists, I’ve seen the rumors that Connor Ben could fight Filipino Legend Manny Pacquiao later this year.
What yeah he believes that he shouldn’t be anywhere near boxing, but uh yeah Pacquiao has been frequently mentioned by promoter Eddie Hearn as a potential comeback opponent for Ben resume, his career after the termulus 2022.
.
So guys wow some big rumors here in boxing – and you heard it here on talking fight, that’s a good one yeah! I I don’t like Manny, I don’t think Manny’s got a chance against Connor Ben.
No.
I’Ve seen him hitting the heavy bag yesterday and he was banging that bag, but you got to have skills uh, any Manny Pacquiao just throw a lot of punches uh.
He can get caught on cameras.
I know that because of his defense you know he’s and he could get caught in between that Connor had to be a little bit more quicker and sharper, but he was hitting that bag.
He was tearing that bag up.
I said oh he’s coming back.
Okay, so also a year on from beating Amir Khan Kell Brook wants to fight one more time, guys what I thought he retired uh.
Could he box Manny Pacquiao? What motor Ben Shalom thinks that ought to be an exhibition, but reveals Brooke is interested in the winner of the Liam Smith, Chris Eubank, Jr rematch, and the timing could work for him.
They’Re lean Smith and Eubanks.
There’S going to be a rematch, yes really, even though, even though even even the londoners have said it man, the Brits have said it, it doesn’t interest them.
It’S not an interesting fight.
They’Ve said it.
They already know it was a clear, concise Victory.
There was no, there is there is, there was no blemish, there was no, there was no way it could have been judged a different way.
It was a clear, concise Victory.
We know what’s happened it’s over.
Who cares? They don’t want to see it again, but it’s gon na happen.
You know that, but wow this could be uh.
This could be big man, Manny Pacquiao, getting into shape and he’s already got all these offers.
