Huge boxing announcement today. Uh, something we already knew was coming. We'll just talk about that first before we get into it. Tia Fimo Lopez versus Shiksha Kor has been announced um January 31st, like we all knew. You know, we will be there the 31st.

SPEAKER_02:

That's ironic, ain't it? Why? I don't know. Somebody was born on the 31st. Who? You. Yeah, but not in July. That was a nice try. That was a cool segment. I'm the 13th of January. So it's like the fourth. Oh shit. You know, Teal might just win. Nah.

SPEAKER_00:

It's gonna be a close fight. I'm nervous. Real nervous energy.

SPEAKER_01:

There's a lot of energy going on that.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't believe it though until they're in the ring because there still hasn't been a arena. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Um, I have to do it at MSG. Please don't do it at the bar plays. I asked my friends. Boxing guys. Please don't do it at the bar plays. It'd be too expensive in there. Nobody's trying to go to Brooklyn. It's hard to get to, yeah. Go to MSG. We can take the train.

SPEAKER_00:

And there's just so much more in the city. That's like that. You could go out. There's so many places to go out for Brooklyn. You're like stuck. You're stuck. There's places to go out, but you're like stuck right there by by the arena. Just it's it's gotta be.

SPEAKER_02:

I almost got hit by a car over there.

SPEAKER_00:

It's gotta be MSG. And they they never sell out bar plays, so it gets it gets a little weird. But yeah. New York City. That fight should be. I'm curious to see the undercard. I have so many questions.

SPEAKER_02:

Um I was like, I hope T O is in the right space. I seen Charlo.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, so so there's rumors on the same Charlo Plant? But also Xander's eye is a smaller thing. That would be a that would be a crazy plant and Charlo on the undercard, but I don't know. That's PVC. They're PVC fighters. So I don't know. That's one good thing, good though. That's why we're getting these good cards, is that Top Rank doesn't have a home. Their fighters are exploring. They're exploring other ventures.

SPEAKER_02:

Bro, but this is crazy. Imagine that. That's a fight that they've been that's a grudge match.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, that's like yeah, that there's real beef there, too. Yeah, yeah, I mean they kind of made amends, but they gotta make it a thing, man.

SPEAKER_02:

Make it a thing. Beef like a beef card. Who else would be on there? It's gonna be a beefy card. It's the Saudi's. I'm talking about grudge match type of card.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02:

Who got beef?

SPEAKER_00:

I'm sure Shakur's Shakur's uh cousin Zakwin, who I he's I'm a big Zaquin fan. You are too. Yeah. I like him more than Shakur. Seriously. So he's gonna be there. Maybe him and Carmel. Carmel. That's too early. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's that that's a good thing. Imagine that on undercard. Now we're talking that's not is it too early?

SPEAKER_02:

It's too early.

SPEAKER_00:

Nah, it's never too early. Let him fight.

SPEAKER_02:

Too early.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't agree with that. Because when if you lose early, who cares? Yeah, I lost early. I'll get you again in three years.

SPEAKER_02:

Nah, they gotta develop, man. Nah, that they ain't taking no else no time soon.

SPEAKER_00:

All right, let's just get into what we are here for. Uh, boxing is man. Boxing is fucking back, dude.

SPEAKER_02:

Yes, man.

SPEAKER_00:

Boxing is back. Boxing is lit right now. We are we are coming off of a great Benavidez card.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

A little week off. There was some cool cool fights going on, low, lower key fights, and then boom, right back at it. We have we have another fight with unification fights on it.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. Anyone who says In between, we got Ben Winnicus getting stopped.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, we can talk about that if you want.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, there was a fight. Ben Whitaker fought this one. Well, his tattoos is hard. He got like the anime tattoo with the uh boxing with the sparring on it. That shit spar. Wow, you a hater, bro. He's got an anime tattoo. Anime tattoo. You know, they love anime.

SPEAKER_00:

That's cool. You a hater, bro. Nah, that is cool. Ben Whitaker did his thing. Uh we'll talk about Ben Whitaker. Let's just talk about Ben Whitaker. Come on.

SPEAKER_02:

Nothing. It's not really that he's a few.

SPEAKER_00:

He's buying or selling.

SPEAKER_02:

Um, I want to see him against like Darrell. I want to see um there's a million people I want to see him against this weird European circuit. Well, he gotta fight somebody over here because it's light heavy.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh-huh. And that's a that's a tough weight class, bro. Even over there, fight a name over there. He's not fighting. Who's a name over there? At 175, you have um Yarde. No, Yarde.

SPEAKER_02:

He was he's too fast for him.

SPEAKER_00:

Listen, Anthony Yard, bro. Anthony Yard just for it. Yeah, but I'm saying now wait three, six months, fight Anthony Yard. Oh, six months, probably. Anthony Yard got beat down. Six months, fight Anthony Yard. That's a good one for him. Yeah, that's a name over there.

SPEAKER_02:

Anthony Yard is gonna it's gonna be too slow. You don't I don't know that. Anthony. He's just a boxer. We don't know.

SPEAKER_00:

We don't know, we don't know what he is yet. That's the problem. Eddie Hearns doing his job and hyping him up to me. He got Eddie Hearns. Yeah, Eddie Hearns. He's gonna be he's gonna be good regardless. To be the next great one, but we don't know what we have with him. Um just monitor the TikTok again. We are the Spar Inboxing Podcast. We are back. Boxing is on a little bit of a heater. We are here to just chop it up with everyone. Um, yeah, let's just get into this PBC card. Enough about fucking I didn't care about that fight. He he got a stoppage. Yeah. Uh cool. Again, I I see a lot of holes there to exploit on him. He is not what did you see in that little bit of time? His hands down, all that moving. You get someone in there that sits on their punches, it's night night for him. And and that's fight versus the guy who came hungry, I forget his name. The fight when he knocked him through the ring or whatever. Got it. He's it's over. He's uh the jury is still out on him. We we don't know. We don't know. Um, do you want to start in the beginning of this card or do you want to start from the top and go down?

SPEAKER_02:

We can start from the bottom.

SPEAKER_00:

You want to start from the bottom? What do you got? We could go. I was gonna talk about Frank Martin.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, yeah, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_00:

Frank.

SPEAKER_02:

He's on prelims now. God damn, Frank. He hasn't fought, but he hasn't fought that you know why?

SPEAKER_00:

He hasn't fought since then.

SPEAKER_02:

God damn, that's like seeing nah. Even no, when you saw the um one of the when you see one of the Russell's brothers on on the prelims, I'm like, God, no. Same thing, bro.

SPEAKER_00:

They don't fight. They don't fight.

SPEAKER_02:

Ain't no way.

SPEAKER_00:

You gotta fight. You know when the last time Frank Frank Fartin fought?

SPEAKER_02:

Frank Fartin. You know the last time.

SPEAKER_00:

Frank Martin fell off, bro. When did he fight last?

SPEAKER_02:

Probably against Tank.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

I don't know. We never did he fight after that?

SPEAKER_00:

No. Damn. And he's not a draw like that.

SPEAKER_02:

Um he went ghost for real. That's his nickname, man.

SPEAKER_00:

The ghost is not, yeah. Frank, the actual ghost Martin.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, he definitely went ghost on us, bro.

SPEAKER_00:

He's coming back versus Rantis Bartholomew. I've seen this guy fight before. Um, it's gonna be a 10-rounder at 140. So Frank moved up. He moved up too? Yeah, Rantis is a little I hate his name too. It's it's Rantis, but like I I have to say Francis, because who the fuck says Rantis?

SPEAKER_02:

Is it me or we just seen mad people move up?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I mean, well, they're growing. They're growing, everyone's growing.

SPEAKER_02:

What wait, they've been at the same way, no.

SPEAKER_00:

Nah, it's like everybody's moving up at one point, like one time, like but that like like like the TOs and Shakurs and stuff, they I get them moving up because they are growing. They're they're about they're 25 now, 24. Once you once you get past like 23 and start hitting 25, you hit that.

SPEAKER_02:

Don't don't remind me, bro. Shit started changing.

SPEAKER_00:

Um Yeah, so so I get that. But listen, let's talk about the fight. Uh he's moving up to 140, hasn't fought in a damn long time. Barthelemy is is awkward, he's long, he moves a lot. But but if for Martin to really get back in into people's good graces, he needs a knockout here. He needs this a crazy knockout.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, 140. You don't have to, you know, he was looking ripped at 135.

SPEAKER_00:

So yeah, he I'm not I'm not worried really about the weight. I just need him to to knock this dude out. And I think he's gonna fight timid. He's again, yeah. It's his first fight after in a long time. Ring Rust is real, really real. Uh tank knock the um again. If you're tuning in, please follow on TikTok, like, subscribe, all that jazz. We do this every Sunday. We chop it up all things. Boxing, powered by Empire Nutrition. Great meals. Get in shape. Like Frank Martin.

SPEAKER_02:

Shout out to um thanks for playing, man.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, they're still around, I think. Thanks for playing. Uh great shirts. But again, let's see. Because Frank Martin, when Tank fought him, he was right there. He he was top 10, maybe, arguably, top 15. Not on mine, but uh most people, and Tank just fucking destroyed his poor career.

SPEAKER_02:

Just destroyed his career, and then his career. I don't know what's going on. It's just again usually people when they after they fight Tank, they just get a they end up winning. Well, we'll see. He just not fighting yet.

SPEAKER_00:

I I want to see him let his hands go though. He doesn't throw enough. He he fights very timid for how fit he is. Uh, and I think we're gonna get more of the same. I think he just wants some money, you know. Fighters fight for money.

SPEAKER_02:

He's still got um Derek James as a trainer.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I believe so. I haven't looked much into it. I believe so. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02:

I don't know what's so special about his training.

SPEAKER_00:

I think he's just hardcore. Like it's you you go, it's strictly business.

SPEAKER_02:

I hate his mit work.

SPEAKER_00:

It's oh it's it's just it's just mit work's mit work, though. He knows what he's doing. He did have he had fucking world champions. Yeah, but I don't know why.

SPEAKER_02:

I feel like they just they get to a they just get to a point, they get a chip, but they just get to a point. I don't feel like they his none of his fighters is beating the best fighters. Yeah, that's true. They were, but but they well, I be I guess it's good enough that you become champion, right?

SPEAKER_00:

It's like that with like a like you know, they were riding the Arrow Spence coattails, obviously. He was and and they did have a good stable, they had the Charlos at the time, like you know what I mean. They had a good stable, yeah, and then it just fell apart. A bunch of alcoholics and stuff. Yeah, that's cool too, though. It's Texas, you gotta drink the whiskey there, it's good whiskey.

SPEAKER_02:

Um nah, but he don't look like he do anything, he just gets the knuckleheads. He we drink it.

SPEAKER_00:

No, no. He's legit. No, he no, no, he he's like legit, don't do anything really. Um, but yo, speaking of Texas, like a cool dude, though. Actually, we'll talk about that later. Yeah, whatever. Well, this Frank Martin fight is uh we'll see what happens again. We it needs to be KO or bust. Um, our friends and our our little Power Rangers, our boxing Power Rangers group chat are all going. Uh cool. Shout out to them. It's gonna be a good card. I'm excited for it. Come over. I think uh Latino Heat, I'm gonna try and have him come over too. So we'll watch the fight here at the Spar In. Wait, what? Latino Heat, the dude in the group chat.

SPEAKER_02:

What are you talking about? Watch my fight.

SPEAKER_00:

He's gonna be in New York. This whole card.

SPEAKER_02:

I'm not gonna be here. Shit. All right.

SPEAKER_00:

Really?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, damn.

SPEAKER_00:

All right, never mind. Um but yeah, it's gonna be a good card. I'm I'm ready for it. So uh now after that fight, we get the belt fights. And for the vacant WBC interim middleweight title, we have Jesus Ramos Jr. versus Shane Mosley Jr. 12 rounder. Um listen, here's another guy. Shane is coming off a win off Danny Jacobs. Finally, Danny Jacobs looked his age, he looked old, the miracle man. Uh, still a good name for Shane Mosley on his resume. I mean, he fought him at the right time. Good for him. Uh, he's just just to me, Mosley is like because of his name, he he gets a little more clout than than I think he should. For sure. He has been winning. Uh, it's an interim belt. So he's finally getting a little belt. That means then he'll he'll get up in the rankings and get a real title shot.

SPEAKER_02:

But this is ain't no slouch here, right here. Yeah, I don't know what he fell off. I don't know where the fuck um Ramos been, but yeah. He he was he's he's a dog.

SPEAKER_00:

I think I think Shane Mosley is gonna get I think he's gonna lose. I think he's gonna get surprised.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, because this this is a dog right here. Yeah, and this is a dog. Body shots were and and Shea Mosley Jr. don't like body shots. He don't like them. He would throw and Ramos would throw them.

SPEAKER_00:

He kind of Shane he has losses on his record, so he did get better. He's getting better, but he kind of reminds me of like Ben Whitaker. Like, not not dancing like that, but like you gotta show me a little, like I need to that next level, I need to see a little more. That's all. And again, you know what I think? I think Shane Mosley, I want to see him and our guy Jahai Tucker fight. Oh, yeah. So I hope he does get this little intern belt, and then I hope he has a stay busy fight with Jahai, which probably won't happen, but I hope they meet someday.

SPEAKER_02:

Because I I think Jahi gets uh get a chance to prove himself again. Well, he they was throwing him to the wolves, so I hope.

SPEAKER_00:

He's proven. He just we we want to get them straight.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like he's gonna get a chance.

SPEAKER_00:

Or um oh, that whole little section of 160 pounders, yeah. That whole like not top five, but like five and and up, yeah, like Troy, Isley, that whole section are good. They're all good fight, and they're all they're all dangerous fighters.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, so I I but I don't styles too.

SPEAKER_00:

Do I think Shea Mosley deserves deserves this right now? No. Is this a great name though? We're gonna see something. Can he prove me wrong? Hopefully, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

This is a this is a good if he get if he gets past him, yeah. Sure. If he looked good too while at it, yes. So hopefully. Yeah, but I don't know, man. This is tough. I I he I think he's gonna lose this fight because this this guy throws some body shots, he throw a lot of punches, he come forward. And he's a tough Mexicano. I think he's Mexican. I don't know. He he he um he lost to um Lubin, but that was a tough fight.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, yeah. We'll see, man. Again, I I hope Shane Mosley finally takes that next step and and does it, but I I just don't with with his name has gotten him further than I think he deserves to be. Uh again, yeah. Well, four losses and his best win is probably Danny Jacobs, and that was the first time Danny Jacobs looked elderly. Uh he still looked decent, but looked older. You know, he's looked slowed down, definitely looked slowed. Uh, but but whatever. I'm here for it.

SPEAKER_02:

Well shout out to him.

SPEAKER_00:

He don't have to fight not yet legends. Oh, Shea Mosley Jr. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Your dad is a your dad is a Hall of Famous.

SPEAKER_00:

I mean, he grew up around in the gym, so that that's how it goes. Yeah. I wish so. Shout out to him anyway. Yeah. Fuck him, don't shout him out. Who cares? Shout him out for what?

SPEAKER_01:

Well, he does, you know, he's fighting.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't mean fuck him, but like uh whatever. Okay. Like, I like the guys, like when your dad's a legend like that and you grew up in gyms, it's easier to fight. I feel like like the dudes that come from nothing.

SPEAKER_02:

You don't have to fight. Yeah, yeah, but the dudes, they're not he's still got a record for somebody don't have to fight. Like, he don't have to fight.

SPEAKER_00:

You know what I mean though? Like, I don't know. Maybe what do you mean?

SPEAKER_02:

He's like, he's better than Lil Br Lil Bronny.

SPEAKER_00:

Like he's coming, no, he's a little brownie's coming around. Lil Bronny's coming around. I like Lil Bronny. And yo, you can't compare like that kind of money to Shane Mosul. Like, if I was LeBron's kid, I would be on a boat somewhere. Yeah. Like, you know, that's that's a different thing.

SPEAKER_01:

Definitely don't have to play.

SPEAKER_00:

That's a different tier of money.

SPEAKER_02:

He and he was he had his own money too at that. He was doing gaming. So yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

But because he was just because of his dad, though, he got all you know, yeah. Like everything that was. Unfortunately, no, he did make the league and and he's he's playing, you know, so that there's something to be said there. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02:

But oh, what's the caller too? Pacquiao son. Yeah, yeah. He got a draw.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, whatever.

SPEAKER_02:

I think he said he's done now.

SPEAKER_00:

That's one thing though, where I will say where like boxing's the only sport, like no matter who your daddy is, yeah, to to be an elite boxer and fight the elite, you're gonna get exposed.

SPEAKER_02:

You still gotta, yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

You're gonna get exposed.

SPEAKER_02:

There's no none of that shit.

SPEAKER_00:

Daddy ain't in there throwing you picks. You ain't picking and rolling in boxing. And I'm not saying, I'm not saying Mosley did that, but uh, I'm just saying he got a little further.

SPEAKER_02:

Who's who's the best son boxer? Son box like coming up or like who is the greatest like like father and son? Father son?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, doing I'd I'd have to like right now the Vargas son is is do like current? Oh I mean current, you gotta think of Eubank Connor Ben are good father-son combo. Um but yeah, I mean I'd have to look it up. That that'd be a good real uh neither one none neither one of them even freaking got a chip. Yeah, but they're they're I think Eubank had some point or whatever, though they're still they're still pretty much. Did he? No, never? Well, I don't know. I'd have to look at uh I'm I'm going blank. I definitely know Oh, oh, oh, um not Thurman the Australian? No. Sweet. Um what's his name? Zoo, Tim Zoo and his dad. Tim Zoo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. His dad and him. That's a good that's a good father. I mean, listen, we can't just it's boxing.

SPEAKER_02:

He lost, but wait, zoo was Zoo was a champion?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, definitely. A real champion? Yeah, I I think so.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He had a belt.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh-huh. 100%. That's one. Um who else? I don't know, but that'd be good. That'd be a good little real post. Remind me. Yeah, that's I'll do a real post. That's uh father-son combos. I like that. Don't steal it. If you steal it, it came from the sparring boxing podcast. Powered by Empire Nutrition. Uh Father Son. Well, speaking of father-son, um, Stephen Stephen Stephan Fulton Jr. He's got a father.

SPEAKER_02:

Is uh he got a father, it's crazy. Um he his father for it? Stephen Fulton?

SPEAKER_00:

No, I don't I don't think so. I don't know, probably Philly. He fought, maybe I don't remember that name being as a Roach Roach Father Damn fight, no. No. I'd have to look it up to see. But I'm sure there, I'm sure there's some champions out there.

SPEAKER_02:

Mayweather.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, that's a good one too. Mayweather, obvious one. Uh there's a b there's a bunch, honestly.

SPEAKER_02:

Mayweather probably be the best one.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, yeah. I'd say Floyd Mayweather Jr. Sorry, top top one. Uh Floyd Patterson, his sons fought, Tracy Patterson Jr. Or Tracy Patterson fought. I don't know if he had a chip, but he he fought at elite level. I and Layla. Yeah, that's another one. Um trying to encourage. I don't know. Alright, whatever. Oh, Shocky Foster versus Steven Fulton Jr. You know what? Last um last card with the uh the fucking Benavitas card. Yeah. There was arguments going around that who what that should be fight, the Haney fight should be fight of the night. Or the Haney the Haney Norman should be main event. That was like going around the boxing pundits and all the chatter. And in this situation, on this card, I didn't agree with that. I thought Benavitas. Benavitas always puts on a show. Yeah. Every fight he's in is a show. I thought that should be the main event, and I'm glad it was. But in this Janebek Lara card, I think, as a pure boxing fan, Oshaki Foster versus Stephen Fulton Jr. should be the main event. I I I really do believe that.

SPEAKER_02:

Why do you think so? I don't think so. I think it's gonna be a pure boxing fight.

SPEAKER_00:

And and that's why. That's exactly why. This is not because this is gonna be like there's gonna be puzzles going on in there. You know what I mean? This is like two fighters. Uh uh Stephen Fulton's moving up. I I like that style of boxing. Like, this is elite versus elite. There's too much. We want the action. Like, uh, but Steven Fulton has power, late power, power, and so does Oshaki. Oshaki has power. So this is gonna be uh I think Oshaki defense is way better.

SPEAKER_02:

So yeah, Oshaki.

SPEAKER_00:

I think he's longer. And uh what? Say that again? Pause. I'm just kidding. No, you're right though. He's he's lankier, he's much lankier.

SPEAKER_02:

Um it's gonna be it's gonna be a good, it's gonna be a great fight.

SPEAKER_00:

For the boxing fan. For the pure boxing fan.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, it's gonna be a great fight, but it might end up like fucking Devin in them fight.

SPEAKER_00:

You think there's gonna be a knockdown in this fight? Nope. I just think it should be the main event. Nope.

SPEAKER_02:

Um they both like to counter people, like they literally just wait and counter and go like three.

SPEAKER_00:

That's why I like Oshaki, because he he sits in the pocket, he doesn't move as much. He he does the uh Philly shell. We got a Philly fighter versus uh a master of the Philly shell, which is cool. Yeah, um, yeah, Steven Fulton likes to attack the body. This is he's gonna need to attack the body.

SPEAKER_02:

The only thing here is He's not gonna be able to hit the body if he's in the Philly shell like that.

SPEAKER_00:

Fulton's been Fulton's hit the canvas a few times. Yeah, so uh Oshaki Foster doesn't appear to be power, it doesn't look like he's thrown with power, but he got bricks in his gloves, man. Cause when he clips you, he clips you.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, but you know, we got one unknown factor though. What? Oshaki here.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I was saying that too. He needs to not come in there with them dreads, man. The taped up dreads to his ass.

SPEAKER_01:

Lovlocks is gonna be anywhere.

SPEAKER_00:

That did affect him uh a few fights ago now, but I think another thing that we need to take for granted here, or that we need to we need to look at here is that this fight got pushed back. It was supposed to be in October. Yeah, and Fulton was looking hefty. So this helps Fulton. Now, now that I know it's two months after. Yeah, I think that helps him, man. Um, because he he listen, you know how hard it is to make weight, it's part of the the process, and he was looking, he's moving up, but he looked thick. Thick's uh Fulton's been dropped again. I I think I I might bet two knockdowns in this fight. Just I know it's gonna be plus money.

SPEAKER_02:

I don't think it's gonna be none.

SPEAKER_00:

No, you you think it's gonna be a stink fest. I'm getting stinkfest vibes from you. Yeah. I hope you're wrong, and I think it's gonna be a great, great, like I mean, they got like a little uh I think it's gonna be boxing.

SPEAKER_02:

They've been talking a lot of shit too. Yeah, there seems to be some, and that's another thing that made me think and then Gilly the King gonna be there talking shit with uh yeah. It might be it might be entertaining. It well it should be, but I think it might just go the opposite way. But I was wrong about the Devin fight, so hey, maybe I'm yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Well the Devin fight was now you were right about the Devin fight, Haney, Norman. Besides the second round, that shit was a stinker. Yeah. He was just hoping Norman could catch his ass.

SPEAKER_02:

Uh so yeah, but again, I Yeah, I don't think nobody's gonna run.

SPEAKER_00:

Stylistically, dude, this is this is uh I see Shock winning this. Me too. I I think Oshaki could do it. Fulton needs to to be aggressive and and win early rounds. He gotta throw combos. Oshaki needs to do the same. That's why this is a good fight.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, they both gotta throw combos because this is a good thing. Oshaki likes to wait. I can't I would not like to be a a judge in this fight. This is gonna be hard. How are you gonna he's gonna Oshaki's gonna have the Philly show? Like, when you gonna, I don't know how many punches you're gonna count with that.

SPEAKER_00:

Oshaki needs to win every round, too, because this is a PBC fighter on a PBC card. And he got robbed once because top ring he cried. That was bad. Yo, I felt so. Bad for him when he got robbed.

SPEAKER_01:

He really got robbed, bro. That's it. Crazy.

SPEAKER_00:

But he came, he came back. The dude, the dude is tough. He like tough. Yeah. He's been through a lot, man. He did real time. He like shot at someone. Real dude. He's a real dude, bro.

SPEAKER_02:

Uh you love his whole story. I know.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't. I just I like how he's cool. Like, he's just cool, chill, talks to you normal, like just a real dude. And then he proved it again with the Shakur stuff. Shakur and Fulton are apparently boys. And and there was like something like trying to play sides, my myths.

SPEAKER_02:

Nah, we're not now want to get in the ring with you. Now you spar both of us. And he's right. He's right.

SPEAKER_00:

He's like, yo, I'm not friends with I'm not friends with people if you're if you're friends with my enemy. Like, you know what I mean? Like that to me, that's real, real, real dude. And he said it, he said it like snakes in the grass. Straight up. So good for him.

SPEAKER_02:

That's how you got the snakes in the grass. If you would do that.

SPEAKER_00:

Yo, for whatever reason, the boxing world is always doubting him. Let's go, Oshaki, man. I'm putting I'm putting a G on you. I'm putting a G on Oshaki false.

SPEAKER_01:

You put a G just to put it in.

SPEAKER_00:

No, by G, I mean like whatever to my account. But it sounded a G sounded.

SPEAKER_01:

No, yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_00:

A G sounded real good.

SPEAKER_01:

I'm like, damn, you bet in the G's now.

SPEAKER_00:

The G sounded real good. No. It did sound good. Uh yeah. That's um that's really it for that fight. Again, 130 is a fun division, man. Uh, and you know what's cool about 130? Our boy Bruce Carrington. Uh if they're gonna keep ducking him at 126, I think he might move up. I think he might move up to 130 if he doesn't get that real belt shot soon. So I'm itching for a Bruce fight soon. Hopefully he's on that undercard, that TO undercard.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

If he fighting, TO's got some TO TO is name dropping, man. Everybody down because Bruce said the Brooklyn stuff. He's like, he's not really from Brooklyn. He said it nicely and respectfully, but uh some drama there.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, he's always respectful, you know.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, Bruce Cainton's a he need he should be getting sponsored by like Under Armour, like he should be getting real sponsored, well spoken, clean cut, dog in the ring.

SPEAKER_02:

He's the ambassador, the ring.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh yeah, but I don't know. I still don't know what that means. True. True. Free airfare or some shit.

SPEAKER_02:

Free airfare is crazy. Yeah, that's got it. That's fine. Private jet. Let me see. Bruce, I send you the private jet.

SPEAKER_00:

Um next. Actually, I think I might make another drink till we get to this next one. Um, should I? Should I make another drink? We started early. We got time. It's only 8 56. What do you think?

SPEAKER_02:

Man, what are you doing?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, just let's go, man. Lazy ass.

SPEAKER_02:

Lazy ass.

SPEAKER_00:

Zanibek Akhmalalyov or Akhmaholini, I don't know how to say his name, versus Arizandri Lara is the main event for the IBF WBO, WBA Middleweight Unification Bout. 160 pounds.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Listen, what did you think? People call Zanabek the boogeyman. The boogeyman. But to me, uh the only boogeyman is Benavidez. Because listen, Benavidez is moving up and down and all around to get belts. He's chasing belts.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

He's getting his unification belt right now. How are you the boogeyman? He's getting it. IBF, WBO, WBA. He's one away. So I don't really think he's the boogeyman. Do I think he's a dangerous man? Yes, of course. Very dangerous. Um, that being said, this is his best opponent to date, Arizandri Lara.

SPEAKER_02:

The only thing is the age.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, 41. And like we started the show off talking about Danny Jacobs and on the undercard, um, Shane Mosley Jr. looked um yeah, looked looked his age versus him. 41, man, it gets a lot harder. It gets a lot harder, especially at the lighter weights. Uh 160. Listen, Arizandri Lara is slick, he's a talented boxer. You know what though? You know what I think he's gonna get hit with? And and remember this. It's gonna be a backhand uppercut. Janabek loves those that punch, and he's gonna catch Arizandri Lara with something. Coming in. And and Lara's gonna be like, what the fuck was he?

SPEAKER_02:

You know where he can come in, where he's gonna catch him when Laura goes for that one-two that he loves. That's the only thing. Lara's like, but that one-two is fucking fast, and then he gets out of there. Yeah. He throwing that bitch and getting out of there so fast.

SPEAKER_00:

Janabek is gonna is gonna chase him around and and get caught with some shit, but I I think the writing's on the wall here. Um Arizandri Lara is gonna do the little peekaboo uh peekaboo style when he gets hit with something, and yeah and Janabec's gonna let it fly.

SPEAKER_02:

So Janabek ever been dropped?

SPEAKER_00:

No, I don't believe so. Um, but then again, his his his fucking uh resume hasn't really given him someone Lara Lara resume is crazy.

SPEAKER_02:

So the experience could be a factor. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00:

I I feel like uh man honestly though, like resume wise, Lara's resume is better.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, Janivak can't he can get out boxed, man. This boy can move.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh the the guy that just passed away. He just older the guy that passed away from cancer, Vanis Mataversorian. I never can say his name right. Um what's it Vanes Mara Maratra? I can't say his name. I never could, but he was in some wars with Lara. Uh the the the second fight, Lara got a rematch and it it went the distance, but it that was he took some shots from him, so Lara can take a punch, is what I'm the point I'm making. Because it's because that dude Vanes is tough.

SPEAKER_02:

He probably showed he probably come out show him some love or on his on his trunks or something.

SPEAKER_00:

I think um you think so? I don't know. I don't know. Every time we say something, it's uh happens, you know. He should. I mean, listen, uh the Veines was a he was a belt or uh belt contender. I think he had one of the lesser belts. Um I could be wrong about that too. He might have a real belt. I don't know, but I I I think Lyra survives and he he boxes well. He does he puts on a little bit of a like a boxing, he he's a fundamentally good boxer. Yeah, it's just that the power of Zanabek. And again, when you're 41, dude, versus a guy in his prime itching for these fights, he wants the belts, he's coming ready. He's coming ready.

SPEAKER_02:

I said they say Laura still got that pop, man. You know what I'm saying? If he does uh what pop? Yeah, they say he got some pop stuff. What pop? Just some of that one two pop. He's had pop. That one two pop.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh like soda pop? I don't think he had pop.

SPEAKER_02:

But that one two pop.

SPEAKER_00:

Listen.

SPEAKER_02:

Laura. Um, I don't know, man. He he can move, jab. I mean, if he get caught, man. Cause the Janeback with that slip, that slip, and then that that that that uppercut. He throws the uppercut more than if he slipped that jab, that one two, and the uppercut coming in.

SPEAKER_00:

I think he throws the uppercut now more than any other fighter and lands it. Lands it. He he loves that slip backhand uppercut at from a lefty two. That fucking ah, it's beautiful.

SPEAKER_02:

They both got nice. Yeah, he's out both.

SPEAKER_00:

Umly thing though, he he leaves his hands down, so him leaving his hands down could be an issue.

SPEAKER_02:

Um depends. You know, if Laura just box all night, don't try to get don't get caught with nothing serious.

SPEAKER_00:

I honestly hope I hope Janibek.

SPEAKER_02:

Janebek can be flat footed, man.

SPEAKER_00:

And uh I want Janabek to win, honestly. I'm rooting for him.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, so you get the butt fight?

SPEAKER_00:

No, no, so then he unifies, right? Get the butt fight. Carlos of Dames. Carlos of Dames. That's a that's a fight. That's the matchup I want. Janabek versus Dames. For the strap unification. Or understanding.

SPEAKER_02:

But he might be thinking about the butt fight.

SPEAKER_00:

Remember when you Yeah, yeah, maybe. And that that fight too. That fight is is good for B.

SPEAKER_02:

And maybe Bud fights Carlos, and then they fight. I think they might be boys.

SPEAKER_00:

Maybe they might be boys though, but we'll fight for unify.

SPEAKER_02:

Uh you know, um I don't know, man. Undisputed. Yeah, I don't I mean that's the only thing Budd wanna fight is for you. So get all the belts, Janet back, and then Bud beat you. And that's a tough fight for for Crawford, too. Yeah, that is that's a totally different style.

SPEAKER_00:

It's a Madramov type style. That shit gonna be.

SPEAKER_02:

I don't know, but it's not nothing. He never seen it.

SPEAKER_00:

And Bud's also getting older.

SPEAKER_02:

Sometimes, dude, do you just wake up at that age? He's gonna be like 40 by the time that fight starts.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, 41.

SPEAKER_02:

Like Lara.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh hey, if Lara wins though, you know Bud's taking Lara. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, yeah. That's a way better style for him to fight, too.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. I mean, listen, great card though, top to bottom. I'm excited for it. I thought you were gonna be here. Damn, well, Willie, you're traveling lately, man. Uh what?

SPEAKER_02:

It's a cheer competition. It's cheer season.

SPEAKER_00:

Cheer is taking you all over the world, man.

SPEAKER_02:

SPEAKER_00:

SPEAKER_02:

It feels like it, but we paying all year, so it doesn't even matter. Um man, I'm about to have another girl. She's not doing cheerleading. Nope. Willie about to be a damn, bro.

Have you ever been to a black baby shower? Nah. What's it like? I don't know. It's probably like a fucking white baby shower. Same shit. Nah. Nah?

SPEAKER_02:

We just all get drunk.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. That's what what do you think these white girls do?

SPEAKER_02:

They get drunk at the hell.

SPEAKER_00:

Hell yeah. It's all they I'll take a memo so. That's all they do. Fucking drinking like crazy in their little stupid sundresses. Like crazy, bro. Oh, yeah. Um well it's May 10th, man. So how do you have a baby shower though? That's that's a good question. Like, it's a baby shower, right? You can't drink when you're pregnant, but you're just gonna watch everyone else get drunk.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm gonna be drunk. Uh yeah, me too, then sure. Fuck it. But uh, yeah, that's uh that's it.

SPEAKER_02:

We had the groundbreaking news. Yeah, that's what fights is about to be crazy this weekend, man. Boxing is taken. This card might be the card that we just seen.

SPEAKER_00:

Ah, I don't know, man. You think so?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. PBC's more closer fights. Yeah, this fight's more 50-50 fights. I'm excited for the fights. There's a bunch of 50-50 fights.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm excited for the Oshaki. Oshaki Foster versus versus freaking Fulton Jr. could be a pay-per-view. Like that could be a pay-per-wheel.

SPEAKER_02:

So I hope you're right about this fight.

SPEAKER_00:

Cause this is another 50-50 fight. I'm I'm a boxing nerd with it, so I like the boring fights. I like that. I like the adjustments when they're made.

SPEAKER_02:

So 50-50. That's 50-50.

SPEAKER_00:

Um and I'm an Oshaki fan.

SPEAKER_02:

What's gonna call it? Jam back Laurel. It's kinda like 60-40. 60-40. Oh shit, we forgot one. Yeah, no. Which one is that?

SPEAKER_00:

Fucking Lamont Roach, the main event.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, you figured out that. That's what I meant earlier. Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, then this is another 50-50 fight.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, Lamont Roach, that's the main event. I fucked up earlier when I said that. When I was like, when I was talking about uh Oshaki Foster, yeah, Oshaki Foster versus I'm saying, yeah, I'm bugging. Oshaki Foster. I said Oshaki Foster versus Fulton.

SPEAKER_02:

We were about to clock out. Clock me out.

SPEAKER_00:

Um no, the main event, Lamont Roach Jr. versus Isaac Pitbull Cruise, um, is the main event. I don't think it should be the main event. I think Oshaki Foster versus Stephen Fulton Jr. should be the main event. Um you bugging.

SPEAKER_02:

Janabek and Laura should be the main event. Nah, I don't even think that is. That's gonna be the most action.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I think Janabek get a KO or a stoppage. Nah, actually, I think distance. I think distance. I think Laura's gonna do what he can to survive and run away. So um I fucked up earlier, my bad. But hey, we we fuck up a lot in this show. Lamont Roach Jr. versus Isaac Pitbull Cruz. This is a good card because it was a good card without them. So this is a really good card.

SPEAKER_01:

You really fucked up the main event.

SPEAKER_00:

Left the main event for the vacant WBC interim 140-pound strap. Vacant WBC interim. Interim 140-pound strap. It's not a real belt, it's the interim belt.

SPEAKER_02:

Um oh yeah, that's that uh Mexican warrior belt.

SPEAKER_00:

I just know all I know is it's the interim. Listen, the jig is up on Pitbull. The jig is up on Cruz, man. His style is what it is. Survive, explode, pressure, looping shots, no jabs. Never see a jab. You see a jab, you're like, oh, there's a jab. You could count the jabs.

SPEAKER_02:

So we think it so Lamont said he would get the stoppage. You think he would get a stoppage against you?

SPEAKER_00:

Lamont? Yeah, nah, he's not getting a stoppage versus him. He's not getting a stoppage versus him.

SPEAKER_02:

Not pit bull. Not pitbull.

SPEAKER_00:

That dude's chin is his chin is top.

SPEAKER_02:

He was tripping what he was saying. But he uh he said he's confident in that shit. He sounded confident.

SPEAKER_00:

I think I think Roach could get knocked down. I think Roach could win still, but get knocked down. Jamel Herring hit him with a check hook and and Roach hit the campus and hit his shoulder, and Roach fell. Yeah. For real. So, and that's no disrespect to Jamel Herring. He was he's a world-class fighter. I'm just saying, like, Jamel Herring doesn't hit like Cruz, man. And it's a different style.

SPEAKER_02:

But this is gonna be a hard, this is really gonna be a hard fight for uh Roach. This is not and Roach liked to sit in a pocket and he liked it. I don't think chill.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't think it's gonna be as hard as you think for. Since 2022, he only fought once a year. Now he's fighting in 2025, and it's the most active he's been in years. He just coming off the tank fight. That wasn't too long ago. He's been he was training for that fight.

SPEAKER_02:

He had a lot of clout off of that fight, so he has to do something now. And and tank this would take him to another level.

SPEAKER_00:

He did really well versus Tank, who who has a similar how do I say this? Kind of like Cruz, but way more, way more advanced, throws a jab, sets up his punches. Cruz is just winging them shots coming. Yeah, you know what I mean? I you just gotta the thing for Roach is he's gotta be perfect the entire time and and fight his fight the entire time because getting hit by a cruise punch is no bueno. No bueno.

SPEAKER_02:

Um is Roach's feet good too? He's not that much. No, he's like in the he's not, he's not tank, he's not gonna be able to weave box around and will one hand beat Cruz. Cruz is crazy.

SPEAKER_00:

He's not gonna like like tank. The difference between tank and cruises, and this isn't a knock-on tank, is tank gets hit and he's like, Oh shit, I felt that. Cruz gets hit, he's like, I didn't feel shit. Cruz is just coming, dude. So I he's gonna win rounds. He needs to win rounds, and and I think he will. Those looping shots are gonna just come looping like he does. Um, again, uh great fucking card. Yeah, this is 140 is a fun fucking division, man.

SPEAKER_02:

This is a fun division. I don't know who wins this fight.

SPEAKER_00:

You think just Lamar Rose is gonna win this period? I think I think he's gonna get hit with some shots. I think he might get knocked down, but I think he's gonna win rounds. Like you're gonna score this fight, like, oh, he won that round. Oh, he won that round. And then, like, towards the end, as we know about Cruz, he's proved to us time and time again, oh wow, yeah, Cruz is just that's who Cruz is. Yeah, chin down, looping, don't get hit.

SPEAKER_02:

I think this gonna might be just go out as a draw.

SPEAKER_00:

Nah, I really bet it. You betting it?

SPEAKER_02:

Yep.

SPEAKER_00:

Draw. Nah, I think Lamont Roach is gonna I don't think he's gonna stop Cruz. No shot. No shot, he stops Cruz.

SPEAKER_02:

But I'm I'm gonna bet I'm gonna bet the draw.

SPEAKER_00:

I could bet distance. I'm gonna bet this. I'm gonna put a parlay together, Sparley.

SPEAKER_02:

You never bet the distance. Now you want to start betting the distance.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I'm in this fight for sure. The only way, the only way Isaac Pitbull Cruz wins, in my opinion, is two knockdowns. He's gonna need two. Yeah. I mean Lamont Roach is active now, though. He hasn't been active again since 2022. He fought once every freaking year, and now he since tw now it's 2025, bro. About to be 2026. Think about that for a second. It's about to be 2026. Yeah. That's four years ago. And he fought once every year since 2022. Now this is two times in in a year. Yeah. And he's smart enough, has a team around him. He's good. Roach is, yeah, he's he's not a nobody. That was Jamel Harring, what Jamel Harring's best win, man. He's not a nobody. So we we tend to when when guys fight the stars like Tink. He had a draw with Tink. Think about that. He had a draw with Tink. You know. And Tink because of his grease, his hair grease. His hair grease.

SPEAKER_02:

He had to um that was from his baby hairs.

SPEAKER_00:

Fucking Tink Davis, man. From his baby hairs, too. Tink Davis, man. Sky.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. What's up with my boy? I don't know where Tink will be.

SPEAKER_00:

We're gonna see now too. Tio, Tio is a I'm gonna be like, oh fucking Tio, man. He's gonna be back in the media.

unknown:

Fuck.

SPEAKER_02:

You said what?

SPEAKER_00:

I said we're gonna see now with Tio. He's gonna be back in the media. I'm gonna be like, oh fuck, TO, man. Come on, man. Both our hill fighters can stay off the damn. Different, like different parts of the world. Just fucking stupid.

SPEAKER_02:

Can't stay off the fucking thing, bro. This is insane.

SPEAKER_00:

Great card again. We got Lamont Roach versus Isaac Pitbull. Cruz, Janabek Akmanalia versus Arizandri Lara. Oh, Shocky Foster versus Steven Fulton, which again I think should be the main event, not frickin' Cruz Roach. Just my opinion.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, and and they have they fighting for a real bit.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, WBC title. It makes no sense, though. Yeah, nah. Whatever. It's just it's market. They're both PBC fighters. That's probably why Pitbull and Lamont. They're both PBC fighters. All right.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, Lamont's PBC. And they both fought Tank.

SPEAKER_00:

Maybe.

SPEAKER_02:

Who knows? Maybe. Tank got power, bro. His name's power, bro.

SPEAKER_00:

PVC is begging for Tank to get straight.

SPEAKER_01:

I need my money. I need my money now.

SPEAKER_00:

That's that's the draw. Um again, though, great card they put together, so we can't hate on it. Um, Frank Farton, first time we ever went viral. That was funny sitting here. Uh good night, good night. Uh, I hope he says it again. But that's it. You got anything?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, like rolled up. Meatball, you get the low carb, you can get high carb.

SPEAKER_02:
