Thank you, [ Music ] Christ for freedom hey good evening guys.
Here we are boxing 101 with me yep.
It’S me Neil.
The deal boxing101 talkingfight.
com thanks a lot for coming out, guys, really appreciate it.
The last week we’ve been having a great week as usual.
The likes the shares the subscription and those notification Bells have been banging off the hilt.
So I want to thank you all for that and uh.
Let’S start this show off tonight with last week’s stuff, we talked about a new and up-and-comer one of my favorite new and up-and-comer guys in the flyweight division.
He was fighting a guy named Tommy, Frank and man.
Ufi did not disappoint.
Like I told you look out for your fly, he’s uh he’s a real go-getter he’s a very sincere uh.
Very young guy who’s got a really good management team behind him.
You can tell, and he came out in the fight and absolutely dominated from the second.
The bell rang, he came out pressured uh Frank, put him up against the ropes and John robbed them instantly, probably within the nurse first 30 40 seconds.
Something of that sort, swarmed around bang them Hit, Em combination, punches use, the body, overhand rights and, and they he had him against and they threw in the towel guys his uh his team right off the Hop wasn’t even a minute and a half in the first Round so uh galalia fight is somebody to look out for guys here at talkingfight.
com.
We will be talking about him a lot in the future.
I truly think that he has the ability to become a world champion and the way that he’s being uh.
His management team is taking care of his career and and how humble and uh he’s very, very nice, a nice lad so check him out.
Uh he’s got some videos online and stuff.
I think you’ll just love him and I’m really looking forward to the rest of his career.
He is now, I believe, 5-0 with four Knockouts and uh he’s moving up the ladder to the big one and the gold he’s looking for the gold.
So he feels right now that he’s is prepared already, but I think, obviously being the start of his career they’re going to take uh.
Take it slow just take it slow, don’t uh, don’t do anything dumb, so to speak, bring in the opponents that uh get him a little better and he needs a little more uh ring he’s got a great amateur career, as we know he’s Olympic champion, but Pro Is different than the amateurs in any sport, so he’s really he’s really going to be something to reckon with so keep your eyes on uh uh, galal, EFI alrighty.
So, let’s get to this week’s uh show and uh man, it’s a boomer, it’s a huge one and it is a giant event.
Uh we’re gon na be talking about uh, Olek or Ole Xander USAC versus Daniel Dubois.
This is for the unified heavyweight championship of the world.
It is a monster of a fight.
It’S for four belts right across the board.
Let’S see, we got the uh, the WBA, the uh, it’s like, I said it’s for the Undisputed WBA WBO uh ring belt and the IVF belt are on the on the line.
Here.
It is a monster of a fight.
It is going to be Saturday August.
26.
2023, it’s going to be in standian, wakala, tarziski Arena and Wars.
Claw Poland interesting a big, huge giant mega fight in Poland that that’s great there’s so many great polish Fighters out there over the years and still now and it is in the heavyweight division which is just getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
Later on in the in the show guys we’re going to talk more about some of the uh, some of the guys that I I see in the heavyweight division that maybe nobody’s been looking at but uh I have been, and it’s just getting thicker and thicker and Thicker, like the old days, we always love the heavyweight division right.
It was always the big boys and we just had a great great great time, all right so uh.
Let’S talk a little bit about the guys, so uh Ole Xander is from the Ukraine he’s a Ukrainian fighter, usick he’s 36 years old.
He has an unblemished record of 20-0 with 13 Knockouts, which gives them a 65 percent knockout percentage, which is pretty damn good.
He’S a great all-around fighter: he uh he was the Undisputed cruiserweight champion of the world.
He went moved up to heavyweight and man.
He has not disappointed in any fight any fights that you see him in he’s an all-around fighter and uh he’s a humanitarian too he’s done a lot for the Ukrainian people uh.
I really like the fact that he’s uh he has charities in the Ukraine.
He he’s built all kinds of stuff to uh help the people of the Ukraine bring the kids up into the boxing.
So he’s really one of those guys that you got ta he’s like a humanitarian.
I really like that so good on Olek uh and he’s fighting a British fighter, Daniel Dubois Daniel Dubois, great fighter 25 years old, he’s 19-1 with 18 Knockouts.
Now that gives him a 95.
5 knockout ratio, which is huge, he’s ranked number eight by the WBO.
But this is the fight of the world for him.
He did have that one blemish uh, I believe it was against Joe Joyce uh, I believe uh he had the one blemish, but other than that he’s been pretty much across the board, a knockout machine.
So the way I look at this fight is music is a is a well-rounded fighter and Dubois is got a lot more power, but Dubois in the fight is going to have to pressure use it he’s going to have to try to get inside on him if He lets Olek push him around, which Olek basically does with most of his fights he’s going to have a hard time and he is a bit susceptible to watch to the uh, the constant, the constant fight.
If you know what I mean so basically, what’s going to happen, I would say: is music’s gon na come in he’s going to use all his he’s got great foot speed for a guy his size.
He puts his combinations together.
Amazingly he uh.
He uses the ring.
Well, he’s a very he has a very good boxing IQ and uh and Dubois, I believe, will have a bit of a problem with that.
Unless he pressures him, he has to use his size.
His punching ability – and he he’s gon na – have to he’s gon na – have to stick in there like.
I truly believe it is his big shot and – and I’m thinking this this is like I say this is where all the belts pretty much are other than Tyson.
Furies I mean yusic tried to have a fight with Fury.
They couldn’t come to an agreement.
Apparently uh yusik wanted uh Fury to donate a million dollars to the Ukrainian uh uh Relief Fund there in the Ukraine – and I don’t know – maybe Fury – had a problem with giving away a million bucks.
I don’t know but uh.
It was a 70 30 split.
So I don’t see the big problem there.
It just never happened so here we are with this big Mega fight Saturday night in Poland, so check it out.
Dubois does have a two and a half uh two inch uh height advantage.
They both have an equal reach and there’s no minimum weight in the heavyweight division.
So you can be 300 pounds or 200 pounds.
If you know what I mean, so it’s going to be a fantastic fight.
It’S going to be broadcast on ESPN Plus in the United States, uh TNT Sports in the United Kingdom and will be streamed on BT box office, uh and ESPN plus the app.
So if you guys go there to ESPN and get the apps and that you’ll be able to stream it no problem, the fight begins, 2 p.
m.
Eastern Standard Time, uh 11 A.
M, Pacific Time, 7 P.
M, British standard time and 1 pm central time so I’ll be looking forward to it.
2 p.
m.
Eastern Standard Time here in Canada and uh I’ll be definitely watching.
This is a big big fight, and going forward will be interesting to see how they’re going to uh.
You know the winner is going to maneuver, what’s going to happen next, because there’s just so many guys in the heavyweight division.
Now that really deserve a shot.
So the odds on the fight usick is minus, a thousand meaning.
You got to put up a thousand to win.
A hundred.
Dubois is plus 600, so you put up 100, you win.
600.
.
I don’t know about Dubai man.
I hope I hope the best for him he’s a good British fighter.
I know there’s a lot a lot of British Fighters left in the heavyweight division that are right at the top.
I mean we got Anthony Joshua, but you know who knows what’s going to happen there uh Yusuf yusic, basically schooled Joshua, as we all know and uh.
So in this one I’m taking music somewhere, I think he’ll stop him 10th round 11th round, Dubois he’ll.
Probably 10th.
11Th uh it’ll be a stoppage, maybe a TKO, so we’ll see what happens check it out.
It’Ll be a great fight, I’m looking forward to it all right.
So on the undercard, there is an interesting thing going on uh that I found out.
If we all remember, Prince uh, nazim Hamad, Prince Naseem, we all remember him he’s the guy.
That would be doing the front flips and back flips in the ring, and he was a very flamboyant guy uh a great fighter.
He had that.
One fight against Marco Antonio Barrera, that’s pretty much uh shelved his career.
I don’t know why.
So we lost one big deal.
Maybe he didn’t he.
He decided if he ever lost.
He was just gon na retire.
So that’s what happened.
Barrera took down Daddio, but that’s his son 23 years old is making his Pro debut the thing about him.
His name is Adam Hamad.
He is on the undercard of this big fight with uhusic and Dubois, but the thing that was interesting to me was um hammad Jr type of thing.
He has no amateur fights, Zippo amateur fights.
Now you’re gon na become a professional with no amateur fights.
I don’t know if that’s the right strategy, I really don’t and as far as I know, his father is not his trainer.
So it’s interesting to me all the all the luck to him Adam.
I hope I hope your pro debut goes well uh, if you’re anything like your dad it’ll be super exciting, because his dad was one of those super exciting Fighters.
If you ever want to check out some fun stuff check out Prince Naseem, he he was, he was a he’s like Hector Camacho, these kind of guys, they’re, very flamboyant guys.
So I really I enjoyed Prince Naseem when he was out he.
He always had the greatest ring locks.
If you go back and look I’m telling you coming into the ring uh the prince was just I mean he was the prince.
You know what I mean so check it out.
I think you’ll be interested to see how to uh Adam um, nazim uh, no sorry Adam Ahmed and uh, and he is going to be something else.
I’M hoping if he’s like his dad, like I say, it’ll all be good.
Now, going forward we’re going to talk a little bit about another fight that I really like that again is Saturday August 26, 2023 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA.
It’S a 10 rounder in the heavyweight Division and one of our favorites here at talk and fight is lacing up the gloves again uh.
He he laced up the gloves, maybe a month and a half ago, not very long ago, but he’s coming out again.
They’Re.
Obviously uh you know trying to move forward a little quicker, maybe than I had expected, but we got uh our guy from Talking fight our big boy Jared big baby Anderson is fighting a Ukrainian guy named Andre udenko, yudenko and Anderson.
Now udenko is a Ukrainian fighter as well.
So that’s pretty interesting how he ended up uh.
You know he he’s ended up sort of in the mix.
He he’s no slouch by any means.
Anderson is one of the guys coming up the ladder.
I believe he’s ranked 15th in the world if uh a knuckle up Mike was telling us on the Friday night panel a little while ago, 15th 13th, but I’m telling you he’s, got the potential to beat the world champion.
We all believe in in Jared Anderson and uh in his last fight.
Finally, he went all the way he did a 10 rounder, and that was the first time in his career and so he’s getting a little more.
You know a little better at things I mean he finished a lot of his fights, the first 10 or so within two three rounds, so they’re moving him up the ladder really slowly.
So I’m looking forward to seeing Jared he’s a youngster he’s 23 years old and he’s fighting rodenko who’s a 39 year old there’s like a 16-year difference there Jared right now, they’re saying is ranked number seven by the WBA number, seven by the WBC number five by The WBO and number 15 by the ibf and [ Music ] Django, like I said, he’s no slouch.
He knows ridenko 35 6-0 with 21 chaos, so I saw some of rudenko’s fights and and he can throw punches from all angles.
So Anderson’s has to be a little careful here.
This guy does have uh.
He has a huge heart, obviously being Ukrainian Anderson has a mounds and mounds and amazing amounts of skill.
Just over the top skill and rodenko can come in there and do some damage.
I don’t think that uh Anderson’s gon na have two big a problem with him, but I don’t think this is going to be a a a cakewalk by any means.
I think rodenko is going to stick in there uh and it’s going to be a great fight.
So check that one out Jared uh, big baby Anderson – we all love him here at talk and fight – that broadcast is going to be on ESPN and uh Sky Sports in the UK.
So it’s a 10 30 Eastern Standard Time start ESPN check it out I’ll, be checking that out for sure too 7 30 Pacific time and uh 2 30 a.
m.
British standard time you can stream it on ESPN Plus in the US or Now TV in the UK.
Personally, I’m looking at, I think, Jared Anderson is going to take this one down.
There were no odds on the fight yet, but I’m taking Anderson.
Obviously we love him here and talk and fight hope you guys do too all the fans here to talk and fight.
I, like Anderson, I really do I think, he’s moving up the ladder.
This is a.
This is a tougher tougher guy, though he’s not an easy guy to deal with.
So I’m taking him, I’m saying eighth, ninth round stoppage or technical knockout knockout, something of that sort.
I don’t think it’ll go all the way, but I wouldn’t be surprised.
So hopefully you guys are gon na like that fight Anderson is, is, like I say one of those really really good guys that are coming up the ladder now.
Also on that uh on that bill, there’s a there’s a guy, another uh uh heavyweight that I was checking out.
He he’s making his top ranked uh debut.
He signed a multi-year deal recently.
He was the uh 2020 Tokyo Olympic gold champion in the super heavyweight Division, and I’ve been kind of keeping my eye on him a bit.
You know we haven’t really talked about him.
Maybe Mike has talked about him a bit, but now I’m watching this guy and I’m thinking wow, there’s another guy, there’s a couple that that could really do the damage in the heavyweight Division and that is back a box hold dear bakodir, jalalov jalalov he’s a you Bezakstan he’s from Uzbekistan and man, this guy has is huge.
He’S six foot, seven 250 pounds he’s 12-0 with 12 Knockouts he’s 29 years old.
He’S got a great amateur pedigree, like I say he just signed with top rank.
This is his first uh fight with top rank, so he’s obviously going to want to you know, make a big splash and uh I’m looking for him uh jellaloff to to do some serious damage.
I watched a bunch of his fights over the last six months and man that guy just he’s a he’s another one of these Wipeout guys.
He has a devastating he’s, a he’s, a southpaw and he has a devastating straight left.
It is just devastating.
He knocks guys out with that straight left, almost every fight.
So if I, if I was a trainer on the other side, I would watch over the straight left on that guy because that’s a that’s a lights out.
So keep your eye on him.
He looks like a great Prospect and uh.
There is another fight and a couple of guys that I was looking at uh that were really interesting.
He’S going to be fighting a Nigerian fighter now, uh, we love the fighters Out of Africa.
We always have they have a huge, huge uh community of fighters in Africa and I think we’re going to be starting to move forwards and uh kind of covering the African Fighters a little more.
This uh, this individual uh he’s going to be fighting a jalalov is uh.
His name is one of me you want to me – is 20 and 2, with 19 Ko’s Nigerian fighter, uh 31 years old, and he’s big too he’s six five 234 pounds.
He was the uh wbf InterContinental heavyweight champion and, and he looks like he could be a good challenge on the on that undercard.
There uh you know he could he could.
I could be a really good fight.
I I really liked jalaloff uh back odir or I’m back hogoldier uh jaloloff.
I think he’s he’s moving forward, he’s a little bit more schooled right now, but I wouldn’t put it past him, because uh iwarami is a really good fighter Out of Africa and we’ll be covering a lot of him uh going forward.
So best of luck to both of you guys, there was another thing too.
That kind of made me laugh guys before we go there’s another Nigerian fighter in the heavyweight division.
His name is Ife a jagaba, a jagaba he’s uh 17-1 with one uh one uh loss.
One loss: one drop – he’s, got 13 chaos and uh again another Nigerian fighter, but the the thing that I didn’t believe I couldn’t believe it when I checked it out.
I put it up on Facebook earlier on today, because it was just crazy.
He has the record for the fastest victory in boxing history in boxing history, the fastest, like I was like.
Okay, what’s that five seconds ten seconds, you know what I mean it was one second, you know why, because his opponent at the time his name was Curtis, Harper decided that as soon as he got in the ring – and they rang the bell – he stepped out of The ring and walked away – I couldn’t believe it when I saw it, he literally just got in the ring, they rang the bell and he walked out of the ring one.
Second, he was disqualified and uh.
Apparently it was a pay dispute of some kind or a signing of the contract, but that is guys the fastest victory in boxing history, all right, a Nigerian fighter, fa alabagi – and that’s that blew my mind, so check them out check out those guys, hopefully you’re gon Na, like the fight the big heavyweight fight this weekend, Jared Anderson is a monster too here at talk and fight.
