Punch Drunk Love: Teo's Unforgivable Moment, The Navarrete No-Contest Debacle and much more!
The boxing world's foundation shook this week as Teofimo Lopez found himself at the center of a racial controversy that threatens to derail his once-promising career. Our hosts dive deep into the incident where Lopez uttered a racial slur during an Instagram Live session, exploring not just what happened but the profound disappointment felt by fans—including our co-host, who identified as one of Teo's biggest supporters. The raw, emotional reaction captures the heartbreak when athletic heroes fall from grace and the impossible position fans find themselves in afterward.
Beyond the Lopez situation, we unpack the brewing tension between Shakur Stevenson and Edgar Berlanga ahead of their July card in New York.
The episode takes fascinating turns as we examine the curious announcement of 45-year-old Manny Pacquiao returning to face WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios, a move that reeks of the WBC's love for creating big paydays for favored fighters. We also break down the controversial Emmanuel Navarrete vs. Charlie Suarez fight, where a punch-caused cut was incorrectly ruled a headbutt before being changed to a no-contest instead of giving Suarez his rightful victory.
Whether you're a diehard boxing fan or simply intrigued by the sport's constant drama, this episode captures the passion, frustration, and unwavering love that keeps us coming back despite boxing's perpetual two steps forward, one step back evolution. Join us as we navigate these controversial waters while maintaining our authentic perspectives on the sweet science.

What a fight Title, sort of. Until it wasn't Some drama, there Wouldn't be a boxing weekend without some without always some drama.
Speaker 2:Always something, always something. Um, hey, let's just get right into it again, something I really don't want to talk about, I never want to talk about leading with this yeah, we got to, yeah, get straight into this shit, yeah. It had to be Tio yeah.
Speaker 1:Had to be Tio. Yeah, I mean, he just never stops, all right.
Speaker 2:If you haven't heard already, obviously I'm not going to repeat it. Tiafimo is on Instagram Live hitting a heavy bag, him and his dad. His dad is talking about, uh, you know, calling what's his name crawford. Uh, a b-i-t-c-h going off on crawford tio, while hitting the heavy bag. Again, I'm not gonna repeat it he said what a looker at.
Speaker 1:Do you really believe that? So, uh, no, I don't believe it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, TO said he dropped a hard R. I'm not going to say the word. It was freaking stupid. This is insane. He is so dumb for this.
Speaker 1:As a TO sexual. How are you really feeling, man?
Speaker 2:So like for me, man. So I don't even know where to begin with this. I didn't want to speak on it, but as one of TO's biggest fans self-proclaimed fans I guess I have to. I'll say this he can't be that dumb, right? Like, do you think he, like meant that? Like is he that dumb? Seriously, I want your opinion. Like, is he that stupid? I don't know what to think here. I I know what I heard. You know what you heard. We all know what we heard. We all heard it. Um, do you think he meant to say it like that when he seen?
Speaker 1:crawford. And yeah, in person it wasn't like but he bullied him into apologizing, like what is going on saying though, like that that word they, they all. When you see people that know him and shit, they'd be like yeah he's not no racist.
Speaker 2:What is this? You met him now twice, did you? I like the guy. I don't know if I like him anymore, but I like him, man, seriously.
Speaker 1:I was really starting to like this guy, bro. I was really starting to like this guy.
Speaker 2:I don't take him as a racist, take maybe just because I'm around you, but I really you know.
Speaker 1:He showed mad love and then he just I don't know maybe that maybe him asking me what am I? That was racist. He asked me, what I am, I'm like bro.
Speaker 2:He said really like listen, I, this is what happens when, when you, when you dabble and and you say really racial things for attention, oh my, and now say he did make a mistake and and he's not in fact a racist, right, say that I'm not saying he is or isn't, but say he isn't right now. You, you don't get a pass now, man, you, you can't, just you don't say that word by like mistake. He's not young, he's 27. I did talk to him. Uh, we were messaging each other. He, yeah, he's saying he said liquor, which would make sense because you know, crawford called his dad and I'll call. But when you liquor, when you have that past, when you have that past, it's bad close.
Speaker 1:It's a little. Uh, you're not going to get another pass. Man, he's going to, he is man.
Speaker 2:Ten steps forward, 100 steps backward. He's going to lose sponsors. Ryan Garcia was in a similar boat. He said some racial stuff. He lost a Gatorade sponsor. He lost a GMC sponsor. Ryan lost all that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, TO is going to, and he came out and apologized TO is going to. And he came out and apologized TO is going to lose sponsors. Man, what sponsors do we got left, I don't know. But I'm just saying he's not going to gain any Sparring sponsors. He doesn't have our sponsorship anymore, man. That being said, I have a whole drawer of TO merch, TO shirts, TO hoodies A whole drawer. You burnt them as a bold white guy and you say shit like that. I can't wear that shit out. You're not going to see me in that.
Speaker 1:You burnt it.
Speaker 2:You too. We just spent about $100 each on TO merch. Can we burn it?
Speaker 1:I'm not going to, I'm going to burn it. Yeah, he's doing it.
Speaker 2:You're going to burn yours. Yep, no, you like that sleeveless thing.
Speaker 1:Burn it. Nah, for real though. Nah, I'm just like me being black man. It's just like I don't take none of this serious, for no reason. Nothing that people say bothers me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but that's you. There's a lot of people. There's a lot of other people. There's a lot of white people that bother me. There's a lot of people that bother everybody. I'm his biggest fan.
Speaker 1:That's the world we live in? Though that's the world we live in, I don't see it.
Speaker 2:Bro, he dropped a hard R. He's not young, talking shit.
Speaker 1:Listen, we be saying crazy shit too. We all say crazy shit.
Speaker 2:We don't have a million followers, yeah exactly that's the biggest issue. We all say crazy. Nobody can condone what he said. We all know what we heard. He could say he said liquor as an alcohol all he wants. We all heard what we heard and this is like what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:Maybe he did mean to say liquor, so burn the merch, then I will. You gonna come with me, we can do it right after this. He did mean to say liquor, so burn the merch, then Maybe he did, I will, I will, I will Burn the merch, let me see, I will Make a video. You're going to come with me. I mean why we can do it right after this. Burn the merch, it's a little warm out.
Speaker 2:I'm not no, but dead ass. I'm throwing it out. I'm in the boxing scene. I'm always around all kinds of people Of every race, creed and color. This dude's dropping hard. R's Already has a racial past and I'm known, self-proclaimed, as his biggest fan. Can't wear your merch, dude, I'll watch you in the ring. It stops there. I spoke to him. He said I said liquor.
Speaker 1:However, I did say liquor.
Speaker 2:And maybe he meant to say liquor. I know what I heard right? You don't get a pass now because of your past and you want to dabble with that racial attention. So it's over for TO man. Unfortunately, just claim it.
Speaker 1:Just claim it right now. Just claim it, you're a racist. Just claim it Like you really think, though. No, not really, bro, but hey, you really, because it's about the perception of the world is really my.
Speaker 1:My feelings don't matter, and I learned that a long time ago, that my feelings don't matter, like as a man, your feelings do not matter. So, whatever the perception of the world perceives you, as is what's going to be. So you need a. You can't, you can't be having this image on you to. You cannot, you cannot have this image on you and you keep on playing with fire and then it's going to happen.
Speaker 2:So how does he get it back? He can't right. There's no coming back.
Speaker 1:He's not going to get it back unless he beat a fighter, a black fighter, clearly, because that's what he wants to be tested with. I don't think he.
Speaker 2:I really you can't be that dumb Like, even Even if he was like a crazy racist, right, say he is, say he was or is?
Speaker 1:I don't think he can, being from coming from New York and in Florida still.
Speaker 2:But say he's a crazy. There's no way, you Crazy, wild racists, don't say that shit on camera.
Speaker 1:Black and brown is like this in New York.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean, though, like crazy, wild racists, don't even say that shit on camera, so that's why I'm not giving him a pass. I'm his self-proclaimed biggest fan. It had to be TO. Here I am, my bald white ass like, oh, my best friend's Willie, and this guy's out there dropping hard eyes and I'm like what the?
Speaker 1:fuck Yo. You got to come on the show, you got to talk to. Willie right now. Apologize to him, apologize to me. Because I'm like yo I'm, I don't give a fuck. You know what I mean, I don't know why I feel I'll agree, I like I um experience racism and shit like, but I really it don't affect me bro, I'm not a victim I'm not, I'm just.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying, like you can't you have a million files.
Speaker 1:There's kids, that's him he's, he's going to, he's going to pay the consequences for that, and I'm not gonna lie a lot of our fans to lie, a lot of our fans right and a lot of our Latino fans.
Speaker 2:A lot of our Latino fans I'm not going to name names, but like they DMing me, like nah, you know, it's just a word, this, that the other, I'm like yo, you can't do that, you can't do that. It's more than just a word when it affects that many people, that many people. You know what I'm saying. And it wasn't like in a comedic way, it was like the hard r man, it wasn't like in combos, but that's what I mean.
Speaker 1:I don't think all that shit.
Speaker 2:I know what I heard. I know what I heard. You know what you heard. The people know what they heard. Do I think he meant it that way? No, am I condoning it?
Speaker 1:no, you don't use that word you can't, you, you can't condone it, I don't condone it, but it's like I just don't care about shit. That's me.
Speaker 2:But everybody else and the WBO is having a meeting this week. With regards to his belt, he's about to get stripped of everything.
Speaker 1:Yeah well, he's about to get stripped of everything. You play him on fire, bro. I don't understand. I don't understand. He's self-sabotaged his career a lot of times.
Speaker 2:The problem is it's not his first. He never said that. I never heard him say that to that extent.
Speaker 2:But when you dabble in that area of you know we talk about whatever, but when you dabble in that area and then you do something stupid, you make a dumb mistake that you can't come back from. And I already spoke to a few boxers and again I'm not going to name names who were done with him, prominent names and it's like come on, man, what are you doing? And it had to be him. Right, it had to be. It had to be it had to be puma's favorite fighter.
Speaker 2:It couldn't be like like, come on, it couldn't be caleb, caleb plant. You couldn't but, he's black anyway, so he is he had black? Yeah, he's black. Oh no, I'm just kidding, but you would have thought he was yo, we, we in that old video squabbling up.
Speaker 1:Oh man, I'm like yo, this guy being the hood. But, he came from the hood.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but that don't mean nothing. You don't say TO TO isn't from a rich family. You don't say that.
Speaker 1:You don't say that I'm not condoning this shit, but I know, how other people in my complexion feel and they just be going in. This is like the fourth, three times in a year.
Speaker 2:He never said it like that. But people now are going deeper, like oh well, look at Haney's dad. He said all kinds of racist stuff and I'm sure he has. There's two words you don't say that's another thing. There's two words you don't say there's two words you don't say the F word and the N word in the public eye. That's another thing.
Speaker 1:We got to stop with that, because they be acting like we don't say racist shit all the time. People do, all people do.
Speaker 2:But when you have a million followers, you're on a live Instagram and you drop a heart. Come on, dude, you don't't do that. You do not do that. He just he just everybody pretty much forgot about the other shit he said because he won his fight and and here we go.
Speaker 1:He was good, like he was good. He won the. He won the new york city fight over. Yeah, he won the whole card over. And then and he just do that.
Speaker 2:It's fucking and he's back and he's back in the gym working, like that's motivation, and then you just like but again I have to say, like he can't be that dumb, like it had to be a mistake, because you can't. You can't be that dumb. Maybe he is that or he is like if you are the, either way, I can't wear his merch. I'm a bald white guy. I don't condone that shit and and my ass is not going to be seen in public rocking to stuff and I'm not even a big sponsor. I'm not a sponsor. People that pay that man to wear his stuff are gonna stop. He just fucked himself royally.
Speaker 1:He always do at this point. That's what he's just known for. Maybe he just want to be the rebel, just want to be. Why is he starring beef with the black people though? God damn, shit that's. I don't know. I just think he just I don't know to get stripped of everything.
Speaker 2:Dude, he's not. They're about to. They don't. You don't play around with that racism, shit, you don't. And they're about to strip him of well, he's gonna play with fire.
Speaker 1:Bro, that's your man let me get burned that's your man. You know, I'm saying my man's guys there's like that.
Speaker 2:There's like that thing you never meet your heroes, right, like never meet your heroes. You know what I mean? Allegations, you know never meet your heroes, and and you do. What the hell wrong with this guy?
Speaker 1:you know and wait. How is he a hero? Well, I'm saying my favorite, my favorite athlete, like never meet him.
Speaker 2:It's like you don't gotta someone don't gotta be older to be your hero. What the hell? Why? Okay, who's your hero? I mean not that teal is my hero, but my favorite athlete. I'm saying who's your hero?
Speaker 1:michael jackson. Let's not talk about allegation, that's what I said. But yeah, how are you gonna look up to somebody younger than you? Okay? As an athlete as an athlete too yeah, no, I'm not because if they're more athletically gifted, I'm still. Oh, I guess Tank is my favorite fighter yeah, Tank's younger than you. We're old now, man, it's over. I mean, that's just a fan, I'm a fan, I'm not looking up to him.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm not looking up to Tio, but okay, here's a good point. All over the world that are yeah, we met one.
Speaker 1:We met a bunch dude, a bunch of them. The little kid yeah, all of them.
Speaker 2:He was at the fight. That's what I mean.
Speaker 1:He can't be. What is his name, Charlie? Something Shout out to you, man. One of our first fans out here man.
Speaker 2:I'm saying though, dude, think about it, Think of all the Latino FaceTime. As a young kid Remember when we met him.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, Yo that was dope, yeah Remember you told. Did you tell them? Nah, Tell the Sparring fans how you did.
Speaker 2:We're done with the TO talk, we're gonna migrate. I'm a Tank fan, biggest Tank fan alive.
Speaker 1:Yeah right, yeah right.
Speaker 2:I've been supporting. If you listen to the show you'll know I've been a big tank supporter.
Speaker 1:Nah but for real.
Speaker 2:I'm going to say one last thing on it. You, you, you can't, you can't dance with the devil and expect not to get burned. He, he, he said some questionable shit already. And then he comes out and says the shit that you don't even got a question. You know what you heard. And then he comes out and says the shit that you don't even got a question. You know what you heard. He's denying it obviously. I, I spoke to him. He said he, he said, uh, he was gonna come on or whatever, but he was like I said liquor, just so you know, as an alcohol.
Speaker 1:I said liquor and it does make sense, but I don't understand, you don't when you dance with the devil, it doesn't, you don't get a pass.
Speaker 2:They look at you like the devil.
Speaker 1:I always say I always say the lie is sometimes better than the truth um, I'm saying but again I don't know what to do.
Speaker 2:Uh, we're gonna move on yeah, to, to, to royally fucked himself it's sad, though it's sad.
Speaker 1:Really started like so talented bro in the ring like uh again if he does get another fight from this, Fucked himself.
Speaker 2:It's sad, though it's sad, Really started liking him so talented bro In the ring Again. If he does get another fight from this and stuff, you're going to see me. I'm just going to watch him in the ring.
Speaker 1:See now, I hope Boots beat his ass.
Speaker 2:I mean I'm sure Boots probably, even if Boots probably don't want that fight he don't want to fight.
Speaker 1:No damn, nobody want to give you the. That's what I'm saying. He can't be that like it had to be, because you can't. They don't want that. Shit is not flying with them. They. They're not that dumb people. They're not that dumb like yo to say a rich shit, let me fight him for mad money. Give him money and let him go. He's. He haven't really got that big money fight. He should have been headlocked. They was all headliners for that fight. He was the head, but he he just like. He's just like shakur.
Speaker 1:Literally they both, they both way more exciting in the ring than shakur. Yeah, he's excited, more exciting, but still don't get the money.
Speaker 2:Fights but even shakur came out like teo's not racist, he's just dumb yeah, but he keeps proving everybody the opposite.
Speaker 1:Everybody, exactly all the fighters, be saying that shit. But he, he, literally. I might make my point, but he's literally just like Shakur. They overhype they self and they really want well, not TO. Is really that good? And he make exciting fights yeah, but he self-sabotage himself. Shakur, his style, just don't go with the people. Shakur is very, very good, he's very good and he wins and he's not getting that money that he wants. So that's what led to the Belanga beef Because he's not getting that money.
Speaker 2:Moving on from TO and his use of wordage God, you don't understand the way this Like it really bothers me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm glad it really does bother you, I'm glad it does bother you. That would be concerning.
Speaker 2:What do you mean concerning Shut the hell up? It's like how do I just stay in there? Yeah, yeah, get him, get him. Yeah, they can't. As a bald white guy, he faces a black dude in the ring. Now I can't root for this. Go tank baby, the tank over. We went from the takeover. We went from the takeover to the tank over.
Speaker 2:See what I did there yeah whatever, nah, I'll probably still like I like to you as a boxer. It stops there. It goes nowhere past that. Moving on, moving on, like you said, to our next point. Shakur stevenson and edgar berlanga got into a little tiff, a little, uh, little little little war of words going on.
Speaker 1:Really it was a little bit. I mean, you heard berlanga. I don't know what berlanga said, you know?
Speaker 2:oh, yeah, I got it. Uh, but before that let's just tell the people if they didn't hear Shakur was on the Breakfast Club. Is that on Hot 97?
Speaker 1:No, what is it? 105. 105?.
Speaker 2:Okay, so it's on 105.1, which is like a hip-hop channel. Lots of listeners. They really don't know shit about boxing, no, but they do get all the top stars.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they just anybody that pull up to new york in the sport. I think even teo might have been on that, but whatever they get all the top stars in the sport and shakur was on there promoting his fight coming up and basically in some, in substance he was like, uh, edgar's my homie, I'm not going to say anything bad. But then he goes on to say that shakur himself is the biggest star in the card and he shouldn't be fighting before berlanga and like without him, that this card does no numbers and yeah, and he's the most entertaining, blah, blah, blah. He's like, take me off that card. And and it doesn't do numbers. So obviously berlanga heard that and he posted on. I think it was either instagram or x. It's crazy.
Speaker 2:I was telling people it's a double main event and two superstars on the fight card. But now, uh, what's it say hold on. He's like, yeah, I was telling people it's a double main event and two superstars on the fight card. But now, uh, what's it say hold on. He's like, yeah, I was really telling people that it's a double main event and there's two superstars on the fight card. But now, king of new york, shit, you're all going back to sleep. Then I'll be the one to wake you all up with the fireworks. Ps. This is to shakur. Don't shake my hand when you see. I don't want to break your hands before the fight. You in my city, homie, don't forget and tag them. So they are beefing. He's funny. I will say both these fights.
Speaker 1:You didn't get the reply.
Speaker 2:What Shakur replied.
Speaker 1:See, you didn't get the reply.
Speaker 2:Did you?
Speaker 1:Do I saved it. No, I didn't say no, but he, he really like said, said like yo, I didn't mean it like that oh okay, okay good, so I didn't.
Speaker 2:I didn't see that that's good, so hopefully the beef is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's not that's why I'm like beef. No, it's not really, because he already squashed it.
Speaker 2:I didn't see that part. See what the media does, man yeah, he already.
Speaker 1:You didn't see.
Speaker 2:I'm surprised you didn't see that nah, but uh, I was gonna say like the build-up is gonna be real awkward and you know what? There's still animosity between both of them. You know they're gonna get a bunch of interviews, so there still might be some build-up there. Hey, listen, you know what the bigger problem with this card is. It's not who's fighting. We're getting two great fights. Berlanga has the the hardest fight of his career since canelo, right um, and shakur has the hardest fight of his career to date versus Zepeda. So now we're getting an extremely good card, but you know what the bigger problem is, willie.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:What's the bigger problem?
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Oh, you don't know, willie's multitasking.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm trying to multitask. I can't do it.
Speaker 2:You heard this fight's in July and it's in New York, right, the fight's in New York. That's whack. You heard that, right, the fight's in New York. Yeah, yeah. So you know who's running it, right, turk Turk brought it together In New York again.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's at MSG or Nope, brooklyn, nope From what I'm hearing.
Speaker 2:it's going to be outside where they have the US Open, and guess who's not invited? Everybody Fans. It's going to be just like the city, this dude Turk.
Speaker 1:he's like Tio. Turk is like Tio. He does not learn from his mistakes.
Speaker 2:What the fuck For real yeah, so we can't even go. No way, it's just crazy.
Speaker 1:How do you not know that fucking he's bugged?
Speaker 2:out like again the the new york city show was deemed a failure. Right, fans from all over the world came and they weren't allowed in the the time square show. Here we are again, two really good fights. Shakur in the fight of his life, shakur's arguably. People say he he's pound for pound. Williams is a pay-to yeah guy throws 500 punches a fucking round I average 101. 100 around 101. Around Around. That's crazy Versus Shakur, who averages one around. So it's going to be a crazy fight A defensive specialist versus an offensive machine.
Speaker 1:I really want to see how he evades this.
Speaker 2:Think of being there. Live in New York City. Edgar Berlang is facing Shiraz. That's another great fight, edgar's toughest test since his Canelo fight. Nope In New York City.
Speaker 1:Wait, he versus Turks man, yeah, oh man, he's about to get cheated, but he could knock his ass out. Yeah, knock him out. Yo man, he's about to get cheated, but he could knock his ass out. Yeah, knock him out. Yo, edgar, knock him out. Knock him the fuck out. Can't wait to watch it on TV. Man, you got to knock him the fuck out or you losing, you're done Right, knock him out because you're going to get cheated. Hey, turk, don't listen to this.
Speaker 2:But seriously, turk is like Tio he, yeah, but seriously, turk is like Tio, he doesn't learn from his mistakes. Man, you just had the New York City card. You invited all your friends. The Manhattan card Cool, wow, great. You put up these big red ring walls and we couldn't see anything.
Speaker 1:Everybody's in the city aimlessly. You said where at?
Speaker 2:It's going to be where the US Open is. Where is that at? By Citi Fields in Queens, near Queens.
Speaker 1:That's mad close dude, what is wrong with?
Speaker 2:you. We'll be watching here on TV again in New York Come on man that is crazy, and it's not about the money. I think he's doing it and he thinks he's being like oh, I don't need to make money, I just need to put on a cool event Without crowd noise. Your events suck. It doesn't matter what happens, it's dead bro. Without crowd noise, it's going to be none of that.
Speaker 1:It's going to be none of that. We need, y'all need us in there. Y'all need to spar in. How many times we got to tell y'all Y'all need to spar in in there?
Speaker 2:But think of how big the and back to race again and stuff and religion, but how diverse New York is. There's a lot of Muslim population. It's a huge Muslim population, like you have all the Puerto Ricans there, equity inclusion so many Puerto Ricans Shut up. You know what I mean, though it's just like come on, man.
Speaker 1:Oh shit.
Speaker 2:He just keeps making the same.
Speaker 1:Yo, something's wrong with him, bro. I don't know.
Speaker 2:The Saudi fights. When they fight in saudi, it's great. It's great that I did not notice when they fight in saudi. It's awesome. Like to put these fights together.
Speaker 1:When did you hear this?
Speaker 2:uh, it's, it's some everywhere. Yeah, friends of ours, friends of ours, that went to the face when you you miss shit and I miss shit.
Speaker 1:It's just you be knowing shit and I'll be knowing different shit. This shit is crazy bro this is is up it's not it's not.
Speaker 2:It's not definite yet, but it looks like everyone that was at what does he think?
Speaker 1:all the?
Speaker 2:media, all the media that was at, um the face off in the city they had yeah said that, yeah, it's no, no, no, the recent one. They said that, yeah, it's most likely going to be friends only again nah, that is corny bro, so stupid.
Speaker 2:So it's like he just has mad money and he's just like, yeah, I could put these fights together and like, watch, I bet you he does one on a boat, I guarantee he does one on a boat in the middle of somewhere, like that exclusive shit. But whatever, yeah, uh, yeah, what else? What else we got?
Speaker 1:Oh, Aw man.
Speaker 2:Our man he's back. You heard Speaking again of. This is a very race-related show. What, what happened? Manny Pacquiao versus Mario Barrios? Somebody?
Speaker 1:said something. Wait, somebody said something, race.
Speaker 2:No, but race is involved, and I'm going to tell you why. Huh, manny Pacquiao versus Mario Barrios. Think about it Manny Pacquiao versus Mario Barrios Real quick.
Speaker 1:Look up, he's a Mexican right.
Speaker 2:Mario Barrios is yeah.
Speaker 1:And then Filipino.
Speaker 2:Uh-huh.
Speaker 1:And then last fight on a Saturday. Who has a?
Speaker 2:belt.
Speaker 1:Mario Barrios.
Speaker 2:Okay, and belt mario barra. Okay, and who in his weight class does?
Speaker 1:he beat who also has a belt wait what?
Speaker 2:who in mario barrios's weight class that?
Speaker 1:he beat already, does he beat?
Speaker 2:that? Who does he unify with?
Speaker 1:shit, what weight class he had 147, 147. Yeah, it's uh. Shit, it's boots is uh. It is uh.
Speaker 2:Brian norman boots unified, just now, right yeah, boots has two belts and brian norman. So who out of them does he beat? None, none. And who does? Who does the wbc love latinos, specifically mexicanos, right? So this is what I think they're doing oh, the double oh.
Speaker 1:Wbc is the belt that he's yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they try to keep it no they're not trying to keep it, but they're trying to give him a payday with this pacquiao fight, biggest payday of his life and before he loses, before he loses that belt that is funny see, you see it now.
Speaker 1:You got to read between the lines here, but they say you follow them, and I don't, I don't hate, I don't hate barrios for this.
Speaker 2:why not you follow the money?
Speaker 1:I don't hate Barrios for this. Why not? They say you follow the money.
Speaker 2:Did you see Pacquiao's highlights from his last exhibition?
Speaker 1:No, I didn't see it.
Speaker 2:Horrible. I don't even know how the I guess the Nevada Athletic Commission approved this. Nah, I don't think so. Barrios has been on a tear. He's going to do enough. It's messed up man. He still looks mediocre, yeah, but when your age is undefeated, dude, unless Pacquiao comes in, juiced out of his mind. Barrios is going to beat him. He's going to get that pay. He's doing a lot, man, and you know what it's going to sell.
Speaker 1:He's still fighting while being like the running for president over there.
Speaker 2:I don't even think he's doing that anymore, I don't know. But again, just like TO, boxing takes 10 steps forward and 10 steps backward, man, like come on, we don't need to see. I want to see Barrios versus Norman Jr. I think that's a decent fight. Barrios is a little chinny but he's smart enough in there. I want to see boots.
Speaker 1:I want to see boots unify.
Speaker 2:I want to see boots get that WBC strap.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's going to get all of them strapped.
Speaker 2:Again.
Speaker 1:I mean. That's why I said this shit before, though that it was going to be Bryan versus Boots, for Undisputed. That's what I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 2:That's what I said.
Speaker 1:And that'd be cool, but they over there trying to put a wrench in my shit.
Speaker 2:No, they're just getting a guy paid, and as the WBC is known to do, how does this fight even come about? I don't know it wasn't a manhunt.
Speaker 1:I just want to fight again.
Speaker 2:Pacquiao must have been like I think I could beat him and then ding, ding, ding, ding ding. Mauricio Soloman is like wait a minute, wait a minute, oh, we can get you a payday, we can get everyone paid, you could have a legend, you're Mexican, you could have a legendary performance against a Hall of Famer Manny Pacquiao and then we can go feed you to the wolves, and it's a win-win for everybody involved.
Speaker 1:They so boxed it. It's so weird. It's in a weird place, it's just. It's like it's in a weird place right now. All types of shit is happening and Tank is supposed to be fighting.
Speaker 2:Jake Paul, what is going?
Speaker 1:on.
Speaker 2:Tank is having that rematch. I thought though.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's going to get the rematch, and then it's supposed to be Jake Paul.
Speaker 2:And then he'll probably retire with that money.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Jake Paul is fighting too. Chavez Jr oh, that's supposed to be a good fight. In a perfect world I'd say JC Jr beats him. But JC Jr is also known to just do anything for money and does a lot of blow and doesn't really care about legacy. So I could see I've never believed in the fix the Jake Paul fixed fights, but now I believed in that If he beats him there's definitely some fixing. There's fixing to be some fixing, because there's no reason at this level.
Speaker 1:Nothing against Jake Paul. We heard from people like yo he's a real deal. I don't doubt that he trains. Yeah, he's got, of course, the real deal he's got time and money, yeah but these fights is really not it. I mean, you have to start somewhere. That's what I'm saying. You have to start somewhere. You got to get these fights underneath your belt and he started from the ground up. But you know, we hear from people that we know and we trust that it's the real deal.
Speaker 2:Also, we got to save some pennies, bro. There's a lot of.
Speaker 1:New York.
Speaker 2:Save some. Also, we got to save some pennies, bro. There's a lot of New York fights that we are going to. Let's see what happens with this Jake Paul fight. It's in Cali.
Speaker 1:Please like and subscribe. How many times do I got to tell you? We try to get to these fights, that's in June. We're trying to take care of our families, man. You know what.
Speaker 2:I'm saying we're not asking for money, our families, man. You know what I'm saying. We're not asking for money.
Speaker 1:Yo, everybody, willie, get a cup. Listen, I'm about to be on the street. I'm about to be on the street. Soon Y'all better help me.
Speaker 2:If you guys saw my freaking credit card, you'd be like how does this guy breathe? How does Puma have breaths of air? Well, whatever, that's money. That's the world we live in. But save your money and make some room on the credit card, because we got a lot of New York fights coming up.
Speaker 2:We got a lot of, but before that, we have to review a fight that happened this weekend. On Saturday, emmanuel Navarrete versus Charlie Suarez 130-pound WBO world super featherweight title on the line. It wouldn't be boxing without some controversy. First World's super featherweight title on the line. It wouldn't be boxing without some controversy. First of all, navarrete is always fun to watch. If you see him on TV because of his style, you have to watch him Lead uppercut, drunken master.
Speaker 1:Yo, that's a drunken master bro.
Speaker 2:I call him a drunken cowboy, but people are starting to catch on and figure out ways to beat him. First of all, he missed weight at first. He looked really drained on and figure out ways to beat him. First of all, he missed weight at first. He looked really drained. He's big for that weight class. He tried to stint at 135, lost so went back to 130. Grabbed, grabbed about. Yeah, he likes to drink too, I heard, which is cool. Uh, listen, suarez, I don't want to say he got robbed, but you know the drama, do you know the controversy?
Speaker 1:yeah, because he, uh, he, that was a punch man. That was a punch that cut him open, like that, and he got robbed. Uh, he, that was a punch man that was a punch that cut him open, like that, and he got robbed. Because if that was a punch, it would, he would have won off of the technical.
Speaker 2:So throughout the fight, navarrete is in that drunken style, is controlling the action at about, like so fun. Yeah, it was a fun fight because because yo what's his name, speaking of manny pacquiao freaking suarez was tough as shit, dude Filipino.
Speaker 1:He's like 37. Navarrete had problems with a 37-year-old Filipino man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Styles make fights. Man Dude, he was fucking landing some shots, taking shots?
Speaker 1:He definitely did. Navarrete was landing some shots.
Speaker 2:So was Suarez, and then Suarez started to go to the body. He was putting combos together. Navarrete looked confused at times, but then there's a cut in the sixth round and here's where the controversy happens. Yeah, how come top ranks broadcast and Tim Bradley and them saw the punch right away.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But the commission didn't. It's 2025.
Speaker 1:And it's the crazy part California got instant replay and they still got it wrong. That's so messed up, bro.
Speaker 2:And not only that, it's on my phone, right, my phone. It could check my blood pressure. It could check my blood oxygen level. It could check my breath they make like breathalyzers for your phone. It could check anything, dude. It could see if I have hemorrhoids. My the phone could do all that. But we have the best, most money technology in the world in these sporting events and you can't get it right. Yeah, turns out the the head was caused by a punch. But the immediate decision. It went to a technical decision in navarrete's favor and about one day later the commission comes out and says oh no, no contest, kind of saving Navarrete.
Speaker 1:Oh, they gave him no contest, I didn't even see that.
Speaker 2:But that's all. Suarez was coming back, and then I read today that they are pushing for an immediate rematch, but I don't think Navarrete can make that weight again.
Speaker 1:He shouldn't take that.
Speaker 2:Who again. So it's like he shouldn't take that.
Speaker 1:Who's war is? No, no, no, never ready. He might be, he might have a lot I go a lot swears might be. We always say that like if, like, your face don't matter in fights. But he was clean, but he took a lot of punches and he's old. I don't know if he could take that type of fight again. That was a. That was a lot of work and he did his thing, man.
Speaker 2:But I don't know about one of them.
Speaker 1:If that's ruled a punch, he wins. Yes, he wins, oh my God. And there's no way that you see how the little slight rub like that cut it open. That punch landed clean and that's the same punch that everybody keep on getting caught with If the fight was stopped. I'm just saying every time they keep on anyway. Ryan Garcia, they all getting caught with their hands down, missing a hook, but Navarrete is a little different because his style yeah, he's got some drunken masks.
Speaker 1:So fun to watch. He's not going to be technical, but fighters is literally getting hit with the same punch. Yeah, he's got some drunken masks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know. So fun to watch. Like I'll watch him. He's not going to be technical.
Speaker 1:But Fighters is literally getting hit with the same punch. You know what's worth thinking? He didn't go down, though that's the crazy part he didn't go down. He got that cut, but he didn't go down.
Speaker 2:With the weight drain and everything, and Suarez coming on like that don't get though. So they they go back the next day and they say oh yeah, it was caused by a punch, and they make it a no contest with instant replay, though. Why not a win for suarez if it was? It got stopped because the cut yeah that's they're covering.
Speaker 1:Wow, they're covering wow, they didn't even fucking think about it, it makes no sense follow the money man. They don't want suarez with that money man no, like never ready.
Speaker 2:I don't care, though. I'll watch never Navarrete. He's must-see TV, even with the laws.
Speaker 1:Yeah, wait, do we even have a belt? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got a belt. Yeah, the WBO Again.
Speaker 2:WBO yeah, he got the 130 belt.
Speaker 1:He lost to Burr-O-Chicken he beat Valdez. Yeah, that went down. How the fuck his ass went down. I'm so lost. Wow, that's great. How did he go down, el?
Speaker 2:Pajero cowboy.
Speaker 1:How the fuck did he go down? He's already big for it.
Speaker 2:But that's what I mean. He can't. He had trouble at 135. The power wasn't translated. But now, based off this fight, that weight cut. He missed weight first, made it the same, looked, looked like he drank coronas all night and he is the drunken master, so he did his thing he's the drunken master, but yeah, I don't know what's next for that.
Speaker 2:Um 130 is a fun weight class. We got, uh, oshaki still there. So oshaki foster we're actually trying to have on the show. Um, yeah, I don't, I don't really know. I, I don't know.
Speaker 1:That is insane, though. Poor Suarez man. Yeah, nah, how do they do that? How do they say no contest? But the fight got stopped because of the cut that was land by a punch. Yeah, what is boxing?
Speaker 2:What is the rules? Think of how cool that 130 weight class is rules. Think of how cool that that 130 weight class is. Like you have ray ford, oshaki, foster, navarrete, uh, kakash, anthony kakash, who just also had a win over um, what the hell is his name? Lee wood. He won this weekend over lee wood. They say it was a little bit of an early stoppage yeah and that's decent.
Speaker 2:I mean, I don't think lee, I don't think kakash or whatever. However you say, his name kakas is is in the same mix as those names. But still, irish dude. You know they always come tough. That division is awesome.
Speaker 1:That shit got my brain fucked up.
Speaker 2:I know, sorry, didn't mean to fuck your brain up, but yeah, that's really it. Quick little show here. Puma's depressed Me.
Speaker 1:What about Raymond? What the fuck is his last name. I don't want to butcher it because I'm bad with names. Anyway, the fight before Two crazy ass last names fighting each other.
Speaker 2:We talked about the fight before and that already. Yeah, intern belt, it was alright, give me a take.
Speaker 1:Boy, they was throwing balls. I'm saying combinations were both, but I heard it was like a pitch out, but um, he shut him out.
Speaker 2:But well, abdullev is tough, very, very, very, very tough it was a good fight.
Speaker 1:that was a good back and forth combination. It was just like it was just like navarrete and then fight, but it was more technical. It was like more of a boxing fight, more boxing, because Navarrete is the drunken master. They did good.
Speaker 2:Man Top rank got some fighters, bro yeah they do Top rank's very good at guiding their opponents and matching them up right for four good fights when it's time you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Rather than taking them. But Abdullev Zaur, abdullev is our Abdullev man. He'll be back again, I ain't going to lie Again.
