EPIC EPISODE 44 RECAP: A TEOFIMO LOPEZ HANGOVER, TECH HICCUPS & BETERBIEV VS. BIVOL PREVIEW AND PREDICTIONS!
Teofimo Lopez, the electrifying boxing phenom, joins our prior The Spar-Inn Boxing Podcast episode with an unforgettable FaceTime call that, despite some hiccups, leaves us starstruck and ecstatic. Picture this: Teo, in the midst of airport chaos, managing to squeeze in a chat with us—sans audio, but loaded with energy. We dive headfirst into the heated predictions for the upcoming Beterbiev vs. Bivol showdown. With the passionate involvement of Willie, we dissect every angle, from ring size to past victories, and present an exhilarating debate that showcases the unpredictability of live podcasting. Expect laughs, unexpected invitations, and a genuine celebration of the incredible bonds formed through our boxing adventures.
It's time for the main event. It's the Sparin' Podcast. Oh, it's a knockout.
Speaker 2:Episode 44 of the Sparin' Boxing Podcast might be the craziest fucking episode in Sparin' history.
Speaker 1:I'm telling you so. We had dudes call in from jail, my guy from jail got locked up.
Speaker 2:You know, good guy, great guy, made a mistake. It is what it is. And then I'm having technical difficulties with Teofimo Lopez. So what does he do? Facetimes me. Teofimo Lopez FaceTimed me. Willie's recording it on his phone. His phone dies. I'm's recording it on his phone. His phone dies. I'm screen recording it, screen record. Don't record audio. So it's just me fanboy and TO smiling at him like I'm in love. Yo man, it was crazy bro, but yo Willie.
Speaker 1:Yo, we did it, man. That was my goal, I achieved my goal.
Speaker 2:I got TO on the show. I'm going to chop some stuff up TO gave us his pick for Better Be of Bivel. That's what we were talking about. That's why we had him on. What a guy man. What a fucking guy. If you thought I liked TO before this, I'm backing TO to the end of time.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And I know he's pissing everybody off saying some shit I'm back into you to the end of time. Let's go, baby. All right this is overdue man.
Speaker 1:This is over a crazy fucking day, bro.
Speaker 2:This has been a crazy year, crazy year, bro, we doing it, we doing it and we don't get paid for this. We? I have so much to edit. I am screwed.
Speaker 1:I'm tipsy I'm excited we're gonna be end up. We're gonna get paid off for this shit I'm not not here for money, I just won.
Speaker 2:For me. I just peaked, I peaked, I'm done, I'm floating, I'm floating. I'm happy for you. Tiafimo Lopez just FaceTimed Puma and called me by my first name, nick. Woo Yo, I told you, and he said Michaela Meyer versus Sandy Ryan was fight of the year, which we were just talking about. Is it the same shit? And he gave us his pick for what's probably going to peak fight of the year when it comes, me and him agreed. Better be a Bivel. Yeah who you got and why, Willie.
Speaker 1:You know man.
Speaker 2:I know I'm going to put it in.
Speaker 1:I got my boy, arthur, who you got, and why we got my boy Arthur man that boy is tough man being from Canada.
Speaker 2:Well, he's not from Canada, no but Canada is lucky to have him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because that's the best thing. Canada is lucky to have him. I think that's the best thing out of Canada.
Speaker 2:So my main reason for having Tio Fimo on in this particular segment I got flabbergasted because he FaceTimed me.
Speaker 1:It didn't work. Yeah, you were still bugging, I'm still bugging. He was stuttering while talking to him. Leave me alone, man.
Speaker 2:If you know, you know, if you know, you know, I'm the TO fanboy.
Speaker 1:I'm a WBO, I'm a WB. Next time we have him on.
Speaker 2:It'll be much better. It'll go much smoother.
Speaker 1:We'll have him on a laptop or something.
Speaker 2:hopefully it's trademarked motherfuckers.
Speaker 1:Don't steal it, let's go.
Speaker 2:Let's go.
Speaker 1:That being said, yo Tiafema Lopez stated oh, that he's going with my boy, arthur man.
Speaker 2:Arthur, baby Arthur. Yeah, and I think I agree with him, and here's my reason why.
Speaker 1:Oh, I got to bet with Fossil too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, fossil's big on Bivel.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So here's my reason why Because he beat his man's Canelo.
Speaker 2:I don't know why Fossil's big on him, bivel's great, though.
Speaker 1:He's not, I'm not taking it.
Speaker 2:This is one of those fights like if Bivel wins, yeah all right. If Better Be if knocks him out. Yeah all right, it's not even like shocking, but, as a boxing fan, don't have much time left because I got so much shit to edit I gotta go watch my cowboys, yeah and he invited me to go out and watch the cowboys and I invited me first though yeah, and you said you can't, but then you invited me anyway so I still can't even think yeah, this podcast has been the greatest thing of our lives.
Speaker 1:Bro started from a fucking boxing gym.
Speaker 2:Some shit is just some shit just clicks and is meant to be yeah and. And this podcast got me making Friends with boxing people I never thought I'd make and I'm not here to go on a tangent. So shut up, better be a bivouac. If that ring is small, smaller than usual, so watch the undercard. All my betting fans, all my gambling fans, watch the undercard. If that ring is smaller than usual, like damn, that ring looks a little small. There's no way to look it up. I've looked it up. I've exed dudes in ESPN. I've X'd dudes involved in boxing. I'm like how do I look up the ring size before? He's like it's all contractual, you got to get in the contract, shit, and so I don't know If that is a small ring. It's a 50-50 fight. It's a 50 on the first bout. If the ring is small on the first bout, bet, better be it. Yeah, k-o-t-k-o. If the ring is big on the first bout, on the undercard, whatever. Whenever you tune in fights at 6 pm East Coast time If the ring is big, right.
Speaker 1:Bet Bivel, bet Bivel.
Speaker 2:And that's the best bet, that's, that's, and and we could agree on that, and I think everyone can agree on that. Yeah, it's definitely 50-50. But someone that we met this weekend at the Michaela Meyer-Sandy Ryan fight pointed out to me at Jimmy's Corner best bar in. New York pointed out to me that Better BF cuts off the ring way better than we give him credit for, and one of Better.
Speaker 2:BF's opponents. Gvodzic, that version of gvodzic that he beat, yeah, in his prime, arguably pound for pound up there. That version of gvodzic that that better bf beat was a nasty man, the nail, he was a dog and better bf got him out of there. Now there's something to be said for that. And there's also something to be said look at the way Bivel beats the common opponents and look at the way Beterbiev has beat the common opponents. All Bivel really has on Beterbiev, in my opinion, resume-wise, is the Canelo win.
Speaker 1:It's the Canelo, yeah, the Canelo win. But he was towering over Canelo. He's not going to be able to tower over fucking.
Speaker 2:And I want to say one more thing too.
Speaker 1:I think Biff was like an inch shorter.
Speaker 2:I want to say one more thing too, and this goes with boxing, and it's what we don't see Like what's going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:We finally got a glimpse. The two most disciplined fighters, right Straight. They don't even take pictures with females. They don't let them touch them because of their religion, which is good Respect to them. Like you know what I mean. They're loyal man. They are fucking discipline fighters. Something came out recently with Bivel.
Speaker 1:Word.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm Something with his wife. She recorded something. I don't know if it was his wife or girlfriend, I don't know what it was. She recorded him and they had a little bit of a domestic dispute going on there and a little wrinkle like that. No, no, no, but it was legit. He threw her phone or something. He was mad. But the point I'm making is the two most disciplined fighters, right.
Speaker 1:That a female will ruin your life.
Speaker 2:No, no, no.
Speaker 1:Oh, is that what you said?
Speaker 2:Stop, stop. It's the biggest fight of their lives. It's the best fight in boxing to make the two most disciplined fighters. Right Now there's a little wrinkle there and in boxing when the best fight the best, every little wrinkle matters. Just like you could compare it to Meyer and Sandy Ryan. That little paint the best are fighting the best. That little wrinkle of the paint fucked up her mentals. It matters. Little shit like that matters. I think it put a little fire into her. But we've never seen a wrinkle like that with Bivel is what I'm saying. He was just I've met him twice. He's just fucking. You can't even talk to the guy. He's just yeah, okay, yeah, take picture. Okay, boom, boom, boom, discipline is fucking. He shows it in the ring.
Speaker 1:You talking about Arthur or you talking about, talking about no, no bivel, bivel, both of them.
Speaker 2:Bivel is disciplined, just as disciplined as art. And now you're seeing something like maybe, maybe bivel's getting a little too americanized. Oh, maybe bivel's getting a little too americanized. You know who's not americanized arthur arthur not arthur. Arthur, that's my boy I think I'm going with arthur too. T female's going with Arthur. He said he's going with Arthur. He said forget that power, bro. That power would slow him down. I'm still on cloud nine. He's not going to be.
Speaker 1:I'm so mad at myself. He's not going to take hits without trading.
Speaker 2:Willie. So, just so our fans know all three of our fans, just so you guys know, tio was having technical issues because he's in the airport with his phone. I've never had issues like with this. I've interviewed fighters. Fans that follow us have seen it. I'm a Tio guy. You all know I keep saying it it's not working so I pause it. Right, we never pause, we just go through. We go through I make drinks, we go through, I pause it and I'm like, fuck mother, I'm ripping shots, pause it. And I'm like, fuck motherfucker, I'm ripping shots, I'm going crazy. I'm like what the fuck? And TO texts me? And I'm like, ah, fuck, yeah.
Speaker 1:It's crazy.
Speaker 2:And that's a real fan. But yo shout out to you TFimo Lopez. Thank you for coming to the Sparring Podcast.
Speaker 1:Appreciate you, man.
Speaker 2:You are a man of your word, bro. He came on the Sparring Podcast. I know you get a bad light in the media with shit you say, but there's a method to your madness, and madness is what it is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it is what it is.
Speaker 2:Better be a Bivel.
Speaker 1:What round Round? I'm picking a round, damn.
Speaker 2:Oh shit, If you what round um round I'm picking around.
Speaker 1:Damn, oh shit.
Speaker 2:If you pick him, better be if it's, it's not, it's not always going with the eighth round I have better, better be. That's my number better be if isn't winning on points they're gonna win on points I gotta better be if needs to get him out of there I.
Speaker 1:I think he got a chance to. I think he got a chance to win on points too, though nah he put he put up, people got a lot of punch value, volume, but this biffle fucking throws with combos. He throw combos and he punched with you. I don't agree with you punch with you I don't agree with you that jab biffle biffle got a great jab great, got that jab. Yeah, what makes biffle?
Speaker 2:what makes biffle so good? He's not going to fall for a trap and his jab's always going to land, but he's a one-two. One-two in and out, in and out, in and out, half-step back in and out, but still throwing. And he has a hook around the guard. If Bivel could generate enough power and better be if Chin isn't Granit if Bivel can generate enough power with that hook around the guard, yeah, bivel could do it.
Speaker 2:He needs to hurt him early, though, better be it, though once he gets rolling and like that dude at Jimmy's Corner said wait, what the hell you losing me?
Speaker 1:no, no, I'm getting there it's a 50-50 fight, dude.
Speaker 2:We're losing each other.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you losing me. I don't keep on confusing me. Who are you talking about at this point? Because I'm like yo, I'm taking Bivou for the eighth round and Bivou will be throwing a hell of a combination.
Speaker 2:I'm still thinking about it, but you kept on switching it up.
Speaker 1:Yo fans, Yo let me know if y'all was lost too, because I'm talking to him. I'm thinking he's talking about one thing, but he's talking about the other.
Speaker 2:TO just FaceTimed me. I'm like still.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're done, I'm done, You're done for the day. That's a wrap.
Speaker 2:I got better BFKO TKO.
Speaker 1:I got after. We might have to Same shit. We might have to re-record. I'm still eight. We might have to re-record episode 44. If the Cowboys weren't playing, he's. I think the power's going to slow him down Eventually. Get to him. He's going to punch with him.
Speaker 2:And Arthur's power isn't loading up.
Speaker 1:I don't see Bivel running, you know what. So he's not going to box around the whole fight when you punch with Bivel, he gets hit.
Speaker 2:Because, like you, said he throws combos. I don't agree with that. He throws a lot of one-twos bro.
Speaker 1:Oh, you say you don't think Bivou throws combos. He was throwing combos with fucking Canelo.
Speaker 2:Canelo wasn't throwing back. He's not going to be able to do that with Arthur. But you know when Bivou gets hit Punches in between punches that's what Arthur's good at. You know when better be of hits.
Speaker 1:That's what I just said. That's what I'm saying, Yo Fossil.
Speaker 2:I say he hit with you. Fossil, put your money up with me, man.
Speaker 1:Put your money up with me, man. Oh my God, I say he hits with you. He punched with you. So Arthur is going to get that hit. He's going. All right, fuck, we'll close it out on that, we just went around in fucking circles for this thing.
