What are your thoughts on this uh? The battle of the beef um? Both these guys are gon na come to fight.
You know that they’re.
Both these guys are definitely past their prime, but one thing’s for sure that they always put on the show for the crowd.
Um, you know both these guys would not be able to beat.
You know, uh anybody, the top three guys.
You know.
I wouldn’t pick these guys to beat fury these guys, but then that stuff is a good fight because they’re, you know just the fighting style, like i say styles, make fights yes, styles make fights, and i think these two styles are going to make a battle.
That’S what i think is going to happen.
I think it’s going to be a battle for the big men.
It’S going to be a devastating knockout finish.
I think it’s going to be a great event.
I told all the people what to watch on this one, because you know what also on that card, we do have some great up-and-comers man uh that we’ve been watching.
You know we got fabio wardly felix cash.

What do you think man? I am? I don’t know i still haven’t made a prediction, because i i don’t know man, i don’t know if this is a really really close fight, uh.
Very it’s a good one.
It’S a battle of the unbeatens.
Yes, yes, yes um! I don’t know man, i don’t know.
Vargas is looking good, but mike sales you’re, looking really good um.
I know my tail got a good win against gary russell.
Gary russell’s was injured, visibly injured um, but he does have some other impressive wins some other impressive knockouts.
I believe he won.
Did he wouldn’t knock out of the link or run her up once? Yes, yes, yeah, like did win our knockout of the week award.
He did acknowledge that we have presented him with that award.
Unfortunately, we were unable to get him on for an interview, but yes he does.

Yes, he acknowledged it.
Yes, nice knowledge, your twitter and his social media feeds uh.
He said.
Thank you very much for for the respect and uh and the award honestly what a great knockout that was man honestly, these two guys getting in action, really excites me.
You know it’s a battle of the undefeated.
That’S that’s exactly what this is.
This is a huge card, you know magsayo who’s 24-0, taking on ray vargas, he’s 35-0, and this one is for the big thing.
Man, the wbc world feather title, so definitely huge huge fight.
What i’m loving is the card.
We got brandon figueroa taking on carlos castro, which is another big one um, oh yes, castro versus big arrow.
Yes, that should be a banger, too um yeah people were kind of questioning castro’s last victory correct.
Yes, yes, they were um, they were martin yeah.
No, no! No not mark castro.
This is carlos castro.
Oh that’s not the same.
This is not the same castro.
No, this isn’t his last fight, so his last fight was against louis neri and he lost so he’s coming off the loss to louis neary uh.
That was back uh february, the fifth of this year and uh that one went all ten split decision, um, yeah, interesting, interesting yeah.
So there’s uh there’s some interesting things here going on on this card, but definitely some good undercard action to watch man, frank martin’s.
In on this card, we got rashidi ellison on this card.
Uh john rincon uh, samuel arnold.
We got a bunch of undefeated up and coming guys that we’ve profiled over the years on our show and uh.
Definitely i’m excited to get underway and watch this one starting at 9pm eastern time, guys 6 p.
m, pacific for all those guys out there that are on that uh that time zone um cedric, you want to say anything to the panel and the people before we get Out of here today, because i know uh, i know it’s friday, i know we got fights to watch and we don’t have the regular people uh.
You look like you’re frozen there looking off into the distance, so you probably are.
I’M definitely definitely liking the uh.
The pose there guys so if you haven’t yet take a picture of that um jaro, what do you think? Oh man? Yes, i just saw this question, sir.
We didn’t get to it sooner.
What do you think about the jake paul’s latest fight announcement? Entry interesting opponent’s choice.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, very interesting, opponent, um, cayman’s kind of a shock.
I guess that means tommy fury has uh decided to you, know, hide or duck.
We just had a question.
Come in cedric man, it’s uh! What do you think about jake paul’s latest fight announcement? We were talking about that earlier today, jake paul taking on rockman jr um um.
You won this one.
Were you on this one because honestly and jiggly i’m uh, i’m kind of i’m kind of i’m kind of feeling this fight, i’m kind of feeling like it’s, it’s going to be a good battle man, but uh.
I honestly i want to know what happened to tommy fury, what happened to fury? Well, i don’t know [ Laughter ] as a boxer right as a professional boxer.
You got an undefeated record.
You take this.
This hype up fight for jake paul.
All of a sudden.
You get knocked out by this guy and you’re the first boxer that he actually faces who’s relevant today.
What does that do to your career um? It doesn’t care, but it would definitely be a memorable moment and the internet is forever it’ll, definitely be the blemish, a definite blemish on that record man you’re lost to a non-boxer.
Is this one? Listen! Listen! Listen! Listen! Listen these these, these paul brothers.
These these guys know how to make their money because they yeah.
This is the one thing i could say yesterday.
You know they caused a lot of controversy.
They talk a lot of um, but when it comes to their boxing training like he actually takes his just training seriously like i i i looked up the people that he’s working with like he’s.
Actually, when he’s, when he’s actually training he’s doing properly, yeah he’s actually training properly, so the mind trick that he’s that he’s playing on people that he’s acting, you know that what he does on soul, his social media acting crazy, talking, crazy making it look like whatever.
Whatever, but when it comes to the actual training, he’s actually doing it, so i don’t know man, i i uh, i i’m not just gon na straight up, say rockman’s gon na win, there’s a lot of pressure.
Am i neither am i i’m going to say it’s going to be a good fight.
Honestly, he is learning on the go.
He’S learning on the go.
He’S got the money to be able to pay for the right kind of trainers to be able to teach him.
Well, um, you know, like we said, fighting is a lot of mental there’s, a lot of mental aspect to fighting you know a lot of people say: ninety percent mental physical, all that kind of stuff the paul brothers – definitely have that mental aspect to their game.
Now perfect, they will chirp you and feel you can’t forget them at all and get them out of your head.
They get into your head and play you before the fight actually happens and when that happens, the fight is already won.
So they are really good at that mental and they are now building up their repertoire in in weapons that they can use in this ring other than that big overhand right that jake paul has, and he has been training.
I’Ve watched it guys if you haven’t watched it, i’m excited for it man.
To be honest, i just got tired of tommy fury, ducking and dodging and making up excuses.
Here’S a guy who’s, ready to jump in the ring and not give a and say hey.
Let’S get it done, and you know what shout out to you know rockman jr for getting on there big paw for taking on somebody who’s an actual boxer.
This time, i can’t wait to see this one anything else you want to add before we get out of here.
