THE SPAR-INN ON YOUTUBE

Speaker 1:

It's time for the main event.

Speaker 2:

It's the Sparring Podcast. Oh it's a knockout.

Speaker 3:

Yo, what is going on? What is going on? We are here with a tenacious Trevor McCombie. Most of you know him. Yeah, oh look at that bicep.

Speaker 1:

Hey.

Speaker 3:

Sparring Boxing Podcast here with a special guest. He gave that nice little bicep introduction already. What's going on, Trevor? What's going on guys? So we talked a little bit before this. Why don't you tell the people where you're at, Because we're pretty jealous.

Speaker 2:

I'm in Phoenix, phoenix, arizona, you know peoria, uh little like a irrigation property. So yeah, it's cool, man, we have, we have some chickens and uh starting to starting to garden and all that stuff, so pretty cool oh yeah, I got that organic shit over there. Yeah, we need that and yeah, fresh eggs, man, we got got it all.

Speaker 1:

We probably eating cats and dogs over here.

Speaker 3:

Well, those, yeah, I don't know what we eat nothing organic out here in new york but hey man, those those fresh eggs and all that did something because, uh, you gave a guy people may know as caleb plant a little run for his money. Uh, that kind of catapulted you a bit into stardom for the people that didn't know who you were. What was your diet like for that fight? Was it? Was it a lot of like uh meats and pro like pure proteins and stuff like that? Or was it just the usual?

Speaker 2:

yeah, I mean, you know I I normally when I, when I start my cut and everything, um, you know I I try to buy organic uh vegetables and fruits. And you know I eat a lot of eggs, um ground turkey chicken, uh, yeah, it's a lot of protein.

Speaker 3:

But yeah, man, I mean, what's that? Do you? Do you do it all yourself? Because you said you're on like a farm right now. Is that? Do you grow all that stuff yourself like? Do you raise cattle and all that crap too?

Speaker 2:

I don't do any cattle? I I would, I would like to in the future. But, um, yeah, right now just, we have some chickens and you know, we just, uh, just keep up with the eggs. That's really about it. And then we just kind of we want to start a garden here soon. Um, just kind of get away from you know, going to the supermarket for some I heard you'd be running chicken fights no, hey.

Speaker 2:

what's crazy, though, is like we're we're in the city, but we're not so like I had. I had about seven chickens, and then we we ended up going out for a trip, came back and six of them were gone. I had one left, so I actually just got six more. One of our neighbors like had too many, so it was like, hey, I want to get rid of these chickens. So we actually brought some in, and they're actually kind of fighting right now.

Speaker 3:

So it's funny you said like ladies ladies, kill, kill, that's great was it like during this big old like egg crisis, going on with the price of eggs and everything you have to like. Arm up out there, man, stay in guard.

Speaker 1:

We always stay armed up but yeah people.

Speaker 2:

Uh, yeah, people always hit me up and they're like oh, you got them eggs that's funny.

Speaker 3:

That was crazy time like I never thought we'd be like hustling eggs. But that's good on you, man. That's awesome, you're like a man's man. We I've just had a sucker going to the supermarket payinging. I think it was like 12 bucks he gets a card.

Speaker 2:

I try to be, I try to be man, but you know I still hit the supermarket. You have to.

Speaker 3:

You know, with your training obviously you're on the farm Do you do a lot of like what Rocky movie was that? When he was like up Out in the wilderness, when he was training Like the cabin in the winter, did you do a lot of that stuff?

Speaker 2:

or you strictly stick to the regular boxing routine I stick to the regular boxing routine, but I mean all all the mountains here in the valley, you know, are pretty dope. So, yeah, we, you know, get some good hikes, get some some good runs in, um, even when I'm in in camp in vegas. Uh, you know, red rock, red rock is cool, um.

Speaker 3:

But yeah, you're not like. You're not like carrying logs and stuff. Right, because with that mustache, man, it looks like it looks like you're a log carrier.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, a lot of people say again, you'd be chopping wood for exercise and shit people tell me that when I come into spar they're like who's this lumberjack guy, like what is it?

Speaker 3:

yeah, have you have you ever told you look a lot. So we're on long island in new york and, uh, chris algeri's out here. Have you ever been told you look like him? Because that's the first thing I noticed about it was like, oh, this dude looks like a a little bit more manly and rugged.

Speaker 2:

Chris algeri man yeah, I get that a lot. I get that a lot, especially when I'm clean-shaven. Yeah, I get it quite a bit.

Speaker 3:

No disrespect, Chris, if you hear this.

Speaker 2:

You're a little more. Chris is good people.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, great guy, great guy. So now back to boxing. Enough about you and your manly attributes. So now you've had some time off, right since the Caleb Plant fight. What's next? We haven't really heard your name in the mix.

Speaker 1:

We know we hear the Berlangas, but I got a question before that, right Back on Caleb Plant, right, do you think that fight was stopped a little bit too early?

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, yeah, it was for sure. You know, especially, you know, in a world title fight, like I felt like at least give me another round. Um, you know, the bell rang and the bell, yeah, the bell rang I didn't get that shit.

Speaker 1:

I didn't get that shit at all. The bell rang, you dropped them. It was a whole fight.

Speaker 2:

It was just like, and I was I was kind of, you know I was. You know that that initial knockdown was a real knockdown and then the reciprocated one. I caught him on his shoulder, which still, you know, if you you hit somebody and they go down like it's a knockdown, was a real knockdown. And then the reciprocated one. I caught him on his shoulder, which still, you know, if you you hit somebody and they go down like it's a knockdown, but yeah, I mean, I, I felt like I should have had two or three knockdowns, even you know the one where I threw a right hook to the body and, you know, send them flying across the canvas. But, um, you know it is what it is, you know, we know that's why, that's why I went out the way I did. Um, I knew that I wasn't going to win on points, especially going in as the B-side. So, you know, I went in and just tried to rough up and really try to get after him.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I mean, you did your thing. Your stock rose insanely. Nobody really expected that coming in there except yourself. Your self-belief was crazy. You were very honest about that in the lead-up and, man, you kind of shocked the world in a sense because we thought it was just a fill-in and boom, here you are. We became fans. I'm sure you gained way more fans and stardom from that. Did Caleb say anything to you after that?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I appreciate you guys. Yeah, he told me it was a great fight and he know, he uh gave me my props and I feel like recently, just online, he hasn't really given me the props, but it's all good, like I think deep down, he, he knows, he knows where it is yeah, yeah, and he, he does that online a lot, from what I see.

Speaker 3:

Like, what, what's your take on? Now? We saw berlanga, right, he's, he's in your weight class. He just fought basically me. Uh, I'm I may have been able to beat that guy actually with my self-belief, um, but then caleb was talking trash. And now caleb's having kind of a little fill-in fight, not not a very well-known dude and in the mainstream boxing eyes anyway, where's your? Where are you at, man? Why? Why are they throwing your name out there in the mix?

Speaker 1:

they saw that fight, yeah, I.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean, I think people know, people know, they know what's up you kind of like you helped yourself.

Speaker 1:

You're in that group now. You're in that group.

Speaker 3:

The high risk, high risk, man, high risk.

Speaker 2:

And I got to tell you guys, you know, I really appreciate you guys saying that you know it just took me a while and I I appreciate you guys saying that you know it just took me a while and I think every career is a little different. You know, just took me a while to get to where I am. And you know, I wish I would have done different things in the past. But you know, now we're here and I finally had a chance to show what I can do. And you know, now I'm in the mix and you know I'm coming for everybody. So, and you know, now I'm in the mix and, uh, you know I'm, I'm coming for everybody. So, um, and you know, I, I feel like I gained a lot of experience from that fight. Uh, it just, you know, gave me, gave me the confidence to know, like you know, I, I belong with, with the best in the world and, uh, you know for sure, I, I keep working and I, you know I, I want to be a world champion.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I mean, and Caleb as a pure boxing standpoint, besides Canelo, you were his best opponent ever. You did the best I've ever seen against him, obviously aside from Canelo, but it was crazy. He's a pretty slick boxer and you showed how slick you were, thank you. Now one more thing on the Caleb fight, and obviously I have to ask this but during that time time, the lead up, you're clearly outspoken trump fan, which is it's fine. We you know we all have our opinions. Willie, I can't get willie going. He goes off on a tangent. We're trying to keep it politic free, but were you I always?

Speaker 1:

wondered I love trump.

Speaker 3:

It was, uh, it was during the, like the election. Um, you know that that timing of that fight was during the buildup to the election and everything. Did you receive a lot of hate and stuff, because, with cancel culture today, did that affect you at all? Were you getting emails or messages? That's the first thing I thought was like this guy's going to get railroaded by these crazy folk. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I got quite a bit of hate. I also got quite a bit of quite a bit of hate.

Speaker 2:

Um, I also got quite a bit of love, so you know there's a lot of I mean, you saw how many people voted for trump versus kamala, so, um, yeah, I mean it was we were the majority, but, um, you know, I was, I was actually just telling my wife this, or my, actually my father-in-law, I I was like you know, I don't really care too much about politics anymore Like I'm glad dude got in and you know I want him to just make the country better, man, because I think in, in my opinion, the way the country was headed was was very, um, not American-like and um, that's that's really all man so like I don't even, I don't even really like to pay too much attention now.

Speaker 2:

It's like, all right, I got, you know, we voted him in and let's see what he does like, let's see if he uh does his thing. But, um, yeah, it's, it's cool man. You know, he, uh, he, he actually sent me a Christmas card. He sent me a signed picture of my fight and said you're a great fighter and so super, super cool that's awesome, that's awesome.

Speaker 3:

Yo, I'm mad now you guys get all the love. I don't get no love, I only get hate by my kind.

Speaker 1:

That's all I get.

Speaker 3:

Willie, you should have worn your Trump hat man yeah.

Speaker 1:

They hate me over here. All the black women on my side.

Speaker 2:

I bet man. But yeah, the way that I see it, we're all human beings and like it shouldn't be about like shouldn't be about race or anything Like it's just you want, what do you want best for your life? What do you want best for your, for your country? Um, that's why I think it's it is really important to vote, especially like in your, in your state and within your county, because there's a lot of different things that will really affect your life your, you know, your, your um, your, your taxes, when it comes to, like, going and buying stuff and um, all that.

Speaker 3:

So so yeah, it's like. And then another reason I I asked you that because the caleb fight was with pbc right, that was the contracting promotion and I know during a few years prior paulie malinaggi kind of got nixed from them for speaking some things on his mind because of the political climate and I was like thinking of that with you. I was like damn man, they really, and it kind of I'm not going to get conspiracy, but, like you said, the three knockdowns that didn't count, the bell ringing quick and amending it. I mean one could argue, if you want to get like a little conspiracy, there's easy, willie.

Speaker 1:

He's going to get going.

Speaker 3:

But no. So I was curious. I was like, damn this guy, they're going to mess with me. Did they say anything to you during the buildup? Was PPC like yo? Hey man, chill out, don't wear that, because you know like.

Speaker 2:

Honestly, like when I first wore it and then you know when it kept going. So I wore the hat the first press conference that we ever did and everybody, like I actually got a lot of love when I was there in California, which was crazy, Like I don't know my. I feel like a lot of the perception of people like in the world. They think California and they're like, oh man, like you better not, you dare not, you dare not wear a Trump hat around there. But I actually got a love, got a lot of love, which was crazy. But yeah, that's what kind of sparked it up. And then, moving further and further, I was like I'm not going to take it over the top like a Colby Covington, but to the weigh-in, I wore a little black windsuit that said Trump and that was really about it. I wasn't, I wasn't really trying to make it like about politics, but yeah I also knew I was like man I.

Speaker 2:

I just want people to know that like, go out and vote and you know our, our country is on the line. So I didn't want to make it too much about politics. But I wanted to set a statement even in the first press conference of like where I stood. And now you know I'm not going to blast all this politics stuff. I know it gets old and people just don't want to see it. They want to see boxing, you know.

Speaker 3:

And I'm glad you said that, because in sports I hate when politics and sports combine Like it's okay, Do whatever you want on your walkout, Like you just said. That's a good thing. You said that Colby kind of went a little bit over the top with his. He caught some publicity and ran with it. It was going crazy. Yeah and I mean.

Speaker 2:

I think it made him probably more money. But you know, and that was around that time and this and that, but yeah, no, I mean, I think by now people know where I stand, so it's like I'm not gonna keep, so I'm not gonna keep down people's throats yeah thank you so like you said, once the election is over, we back the boxing so nobody, though nobody from pbc, like no leadership or anything like in the media, said anything to you like, like, because I another.

Speaker 3:

I only ask because, again, the thing that happened with Paulie Malignaggi and the PBC is, it seems to be big on that.

Speaker 2:

That's up. That's up to your own speculation. I mean, you can kind of look and I wasn't necessarily PBC, I think it was Showtime, so you can, you can make your own speculations on that. You know who who's in charge of showtime, but, um, yeah, I mean none of the none of the pbc. All all the pbc guys were super cool. I uh, you know, I get along with all those guys and they, they were very respectful to me and they, they, um, you know, treated me well, so I have no, no bad things to say about them, even, you know, like any ill will when it came to politics.

Speaker 3:

So yeah, I guess you know you're right, that's. I guess I was just saying you're kind of guilty by association because showtime, they left showtime and then pbc and you don't even hear about that anymore. So that's a good point. I'm glad you brought that up with that. Like I said, they, they caught my. I just I just always see PVC and showtime and again, guilty by association. So that that's a valid, valid point, yeah, so, uh, okay, now back to boxing. We got that. I had to ask about the, the Trump stuff, cause it's always right there. But uh, going forward is do you have anything lined up? Are you training regularly? Uh, you're not lifting logs but logs. But are you in the gyms in Arizona? Still, do you stay in shape 24-7? What's next? When do you see your next fight date?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm in shape now. You know we're in negotiations with Pacheco, so you know we'll see. Really yeah, and we'll see what happens with. You know, with the purse bid, you know I think that's on April 8th. You know, with the purse bid, you know I think that's on April 8th, so we'll see what happens, but I know they're very.

Speaker 3:

That's a tough, tough fight.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they're very interested in the fight. It's a tough fight for both of us and, you know, I think he's more tailor-made for me than what Plant was.

Speaker 3:

So he moves way less, so you're right.

Speaker 1:

You might kill a prospect of dreams right now he's like a contender.

Speaker 3:

Now Pacheco's a contender now.

Speaker 1:

He's probably one of the people that they want up there. So if you stop him, man, you're going to ruin a lot of people's money.

Speaker 2:

You're going to fuck up a lot of money over there. Yeah, ruin theirs and make mine, make my pockets yeah, they got, they got plans for that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they do, and he just no and uh you know, I always, I always say this man, there's no, no ill will uh towards any of my opponents like I. Just, I just want to uh show the world what I can do and I, you know, I've been, I've been boxing since I was seven years old, so this has been a dream of mine. You know, my, my mom painted a mural of HBO boxing in my room when I was little and I had a. You know, my room was a ring and it was, it's. It's been just been something I've always, always, strived for and I mean, this is my life. I put my life on the line. So, yeah, I love, I love to compete, I love to box and, um, you know, we're going to go out there and uh handle business, man, you know, with really whoever it is, um, you know that's a win, win for you.

Speaker 3:

That's a win, win. You're still okay now. You had two fights with caleb plant and him, and then you got berlang. Basically you got canelo's leftovers I like to call them running around fighting nobody's really, besides munguia. Yeah what?

Speaker 2:

no, and what do you think? And it's go ahead. And it's funny, man, like these, these dudes, they, they get a fight with canelo. And it's like you know, I'm a superstar and it's like you know, you, you, you won the lottery, you got really lucky and you made some money and that's cool. But if you would have never made that fight, you wouldn't be acting the way you are now. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

The funny shit that you said that right, that shit went to his head. That shit went to Belanga's head.

Speaker 3:

He think he's bigger than the world and you know what?

Speaker 2:

I've been from new york, I've met berlanga and like he's a great guy, but man cool but it's it's getting harder for me to like, keep keep giving, like, yeah, like, oh man no I'm sure he is a cool guy like on the, you know, off cameras and stuff like that. I know his, I know his trainer really well and him and I are real cool. Um, yeah, but you know, we're both, both believers, but uh, yeah, it's, it's, uh, I don't know it's, um, it is what it is, man, you know, I, I, I can't, I can't say that, I would not do the same thing, but I don't think I would like. You know, I'm just, I'm very, very grounded and you know, I know, I know where I came from and I didn't. I didn't come from money or anything. So, like it's, uh, I just I want to live a very modest, conservative life.

Speaker 3:

I feel like, too, I could tell just by talking to you. Yeah, money changes people, but it would just change your farm. You'd have a bigger farm. That's about it. That's about it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, maybe some, maybe some more equipment, man I, I'd have my, I would invite my family, I'd be like you guys, come live with me, like let's, let's, uh let's just have a happy life.

Speaker 3:

You'd have the best john deere out there.

Speaker 1:

Man, it was crazy some crazy, some crazy content for you on your Instagram or something. You just build a bunch of wooden gear for boxing and start boxing outside and training and shit, you'd be outside.

Speaker 2:

You'd be outside. Yeah, I got to start doing that man, because I do do some workouts out in my backyard and stuff, so I got to just start making some videos, that'd be some great content, yeah, right there what is?

Speaker 3:

uh. So you said pacheco. That's crazy. I'm excited for that. Now I'm glad you said that actually there's. There's a chick that follows us from arizona and she actually mentioned that to me in my. She's like oh, ask him about pacheco and I don't have to you, you already did. Do you have any regrets in your career? You know I, I know you. Yeah, I want to be I want to be.

Speaker 2:

I want to be pretty transparent with people, because I know, I know people are waiting and they're like what, what the hell's going on? Like, what is this guy doing? You know, we're uh, I had, I had my baby in november.

Speaker 3:

Um, we congratulate, thank you yeah, and end of november, right end of november.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so I have, I have three um boy and two girls and uh, yeah, so you know, like a lot of people don't know, but I was away from my family for like seven or eight months um last year. So you know that that was kind of rough and yeah, just was that for for training, or was that something different?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I was in training. I fought in January of last year. Then they were just trying to make something happen. My team with Probox, they were trying to make a few different fights happen with some PBC guys. Finally the Caleb plant fight, you know, materialized. So but, yeah, yeah, I was. I was really in camp for a long time and I was like man, I, I gotta chill my family, I gotta chill my newborn for a little bit and then, um, you know I'll be back. So, yeah, we're, we're really looking forward to june, hopefully. Uh, you know, everything works out and we get, we get June locked in and I'll be heading up to camp next week.

Speaker 3:

So so I know you you had the. This is where I was getting a little scared Cause we haven't, like you just said, we haven't seen you the. You had like the four year, three or four year layoff back in the day. Right, we, that's not happening. Do you regret that at all? I know you got hurt, but do you regret taking that time off? Or was it needed? What was the reasoning for that?

Speaker 2:

You know, I just I had to find myself as a man and really realize what's important in my life. And you know, like you said, I, you know I did try to come back within those two years and then I had an ACL tear and that was a huge bummer. So ACL tear you're looking at another year off and then you've got to build back up. Yeah, you've got to get in shape, man, yeah, man, yeah. So yeah, it's a, it was a bummer man.

Speaker 2:

But you know, I, I look at, I look at every, every negative thing that happens in your life. There is a reason for it and you see the bigger picture. If you, if you're trying to grow as a human being, you know, um with really whatever, like whatever happens in your life, that's really negative and especially if it's self-inflicted. So yeah, you know, it was a great thing and I'm happy where I'm at now. I'm a firm believer in God and I know that he has a great plan for me and I'm just ready to look forward and get some great fights, man, and get some great Ws and be a world champion.

Speaker 3:

And we're ready to see it. Man, we're big fans now because of that Caleb Plant fight, to be honest, and you shocked the world. Even the early argued stoppage or whatever, you still shocked the world and your stock rose. Like I said before, I'm going to ask you one more quick question and we'll we'll get you out of here, man. Thank you so much again for for the time. Thank you guys, out of out of what I like to call canelo's leftovers, what, what would the fight be? The best fight to make you think between munguia, berlanga, uh, and charlo well, I'm sorry and caleb and caleb and caleb the four, I'm sorry, and Caleb and Caleb the four, I'm sorry, caleb, berlanga, charlo, those four.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we'll have to see what happens with Charlo. See how he looks. You know his next fight, because I know he's been out for a while. Yeah, man, I think everybody is, you know, creaming over the fact that you know Berlanga and I are both heavy punchers and I think that would be a great fight.

Speaker 3:

But style-wise that would be an awesome fight. I think, yeah, style-wise you and Berlinga would be awesome?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no doubt. So you know, I really would like that fight, but you know I don't know what direction he wants to go.

Speaker 3:

And then obviously we would love to see that man Come on down to New York. Yeah, oh, that would be great that would be great.

Speaker 2:

It would be a great fight, it would be a great build-up. I think it would be a tremendous fight. And then, you know, maybe down the line we get a rematch with Plant. You know, I think he's a cool dude and you know, if he wants to run it again, we can run it again, but yeah.

Speaker 3:

I don't know if he'll want to run that again man. To be honest, he's running from that one. I don't think he again. The risk is too high. That's one of the issues when you do great things in boxing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah. But you know what, if it you know I go out, I go out, start, start. You know a rising prospect or whoever it is, somebody in the top 10, I go and start them out. And then you know, if we can make some big money, then let's do it. I don't think I don't think he would be opposed to it if the money was right. At the end of the day, we're in the business of making money. If it makes sense, you're all right with speaking of the money.

Speaker 3:

You're all right with dipping your toes in the salty pool. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Oh, we'll see. I know my manager, hector. He got approached by TKO. Actually it wasn't right for me right now. I think if I was younger, if I was barely coming up, I had seven fights. Know, I think I would go in there. But I think that's the trouble they might run into is like, who are we, who are we gonna, who are we gonna sign? That isn't established. Um, because, yeah, what they're, what they're offering, money wise, just isn't really there yet. So but yeah, I mean what I uh, what's funny?

Speaker 3:

What's funny about the TKO thing is that they're basically doing like you said before when you were with Probox. Probox has been doing that in a sense, they kind of just took like making these names or these guys that are coming up that fight great fights, great matchups Some of the better matchups are on there and TKO, I think, is trying to just copycat that with the Saudi money. You know what?

Speaker 2:

I like where you're thinking, because I was thinking the same thing. You know, yeah, yeah, they're doing the same thing. But, man, I got to give praise to Turkey, though, like he's doing a good thing over there. You know, he's made a lot of big fights that would have never happened. 100%. Yeah, they would have never happened. So they were 100.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they would have never happened so you know you, it's great for the sport. You gotta, you gotta, thank him for that. It just, it just sucks that it's over there.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, he's finally starting to come over here, so it don't feel right yeah yeah, it's funny though too, because the the may 2nd, right may 2nd, the time square, stuff. That's going on. In theory it sounds amazing, but we knew we live in new york, like we're always in the city. I knew it's going on.

Speaker 2:

In theory it sounds amazing, but we knew we live in New York.

Speaker 3:

We're always in the city. I knew it was impossible. Times Square is not like it had to be some funny business. Yeah, and now the bottom seems to be falling out with permits and stuff.

Speaker 2:

Oh, so it's not happening. I heard it was invite only and that was it.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, but you're right, it's still happening. But the build-up, the cool thing about it was that it's free. Remember they marketed how free it was for the fans. It's free, yeah it's gonna be outside. And now, uh, yeah, I I spoke to some popo friends and they were like, yeah, it's, you're gonna be far away, super far away. Like it'll be on like the. You'll be basically in the streets of the city watching boxing on the TVs and I was like, yeah, cool, I'll just stay home before I get pocketed.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no, it's a, it's a great idea. Um, you know, I'd like to see how it plays out and then, yeah, I mean, I'm rooting for it.
