Of ads interfering with your favorite
0:13
sports broadcasts. Good. Hey,
0:34
I'm Ryan Reynolds. Recently, I asked Mint
0:36
Mobile's legal team if big wireless companies
0:38
are allowed to raise prices due to
0:40
inflation. They said yes. And then when
0:42
I asked if raising prices technically violates
0:45
those onerous two-year contracts, they said, what
0:47
the f*** are you talking about, you
0:49
insane Hollywood a*****e? So to recap, we're
0:51
cutting the price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a month to
0:53
just $15 a month. Give
0:56
it a try at mintmobile.com/switch. $45
0:59
up front for three months plus taxes and fees. Promote for new
1:01
customers for limited time. Unlimited more than 40 gigabytes per month. Mint
1:03
Unlimited slows. She.

5:55
I? I really believe that. And
5:57
some just excited and. All
6:00
jokes aside, there are big fights at
6:02
your weight or in and around your
6:04
weight. Obviously, Natasha Jonas holds one version
6:07
of the World World's Weight title. We've
6:09
got Lauren Price in May fighting for
6:11
another version of the title against Jessica
6:13
McCaskill. Obviously, Chantel Cameron's not far below
6:15
you. Katie Taylor's in and around.
6:17
Who knows if you could come down, she could come
6:19
up. There are big fights. We talked about this
6:21
the other day, didn't we, in that gym. It's
6:25
a dream division. And at the moment, let's
6:27
not mince our words. You
6:30
have made a very big statement. Yeah,
6:32
like when
6:35
you see big fights, my name's in
6:37
there now, isn't it? Absolutely, isn't
6:39
it? You're not coming to the party.
6:41
You're holding the party, sister. It's your
6:44
house, pie. They've got to come to
6:46
you. I like that. You can have
6:48
it. I see that. It's true, though.
6:50
Yeah. You
6:53
know the other day, though, I'm going to embarrass you now. You know
6:55
the other day when I saw her at the gym, she got out
6:57
of a car and she hadn't seen her three nieces, and they mean
6:59
more to her than just about anything. She sees them 568 times a
7:01
day, trust me. She
7:04
spoils them rotten. She hadn't seen them for months and
7:06
months and months. She got out of the car. These
7:08
three girls, they know what age they are. They
7:10
literally jumped. I'm standing back. They jumped from about
7:12
four foot. And all three of them ended up
7:14
wrapped around them. It was great, wasn't it? Yeah,
7:17
it was so nice. It was months.
7:19
The last time I seen them was New Year's. And
7:22
then, yeah, so yeah, I
7:24
love them. They're my people. Yeah.
7:28
You know, so standing, all jokes
7:30
aside, a newling couple of people
7:32
in Las Vegas, obviously it worked.
7:35
You loved out there. You talked about the hills and
7:37
the snow and filling your lungs up. So you'll have
7:39
a bit of a break here, then get back because
7:41
you will fight at least, well, at least you'll fight
7:43
twice more this year. Or, well, so, so, yeah, two
7:46
if we can do it. Yeah, we're getting a sign
7:48
from the Invisible Man. Yeah. Well
7:50
done tonight. I mean, it was, it was
7:52
a really impressive display.
7:59
I know you had a new year. capable of it but it
8:01
was it was quality tonight. Thank you so much
8:03
thank you. One of the things we talked to
8:05
her about Barry obviously was all these
8:07
other fighters out there and Brian Peters their
8:09
manager was laughing and joking and that was
8:11
a statement that she sent out to the
8:13
others I mean Tasha Jonas great victory over
8:15
Michaela Mayer don't get me wrong and if
8:18
Lauren Price beats Jessica McCaskell which who knows
8:20
she's capable of Lauren's exceptional fighter that
8:22
means we have three British women
8:24
holding three versions of the World
8:27
to Weight title and I'd like to see
8:29
them all fight each other. Well we
8:31
know what we get with women's boxing. Even if
8:33
they add on different sides
8:35
of the streets to cut her lower. She is sandy to
8:38
the other two but the performers discovered
8:40
a lot of the performers tonight. I
8:43
thought she was going to be physically stronger but not
8:46
that much stronger I think it was important to not
8:48
only Terry Harper who maybe is the
8:50
better natural boxer better rhythm to
8:52
her work so it was important for her not to get
8:55
the establish an early rhythm otherwise going to be hard
8:57
for Sandy Ryan to really um
8:59
you know kind of a flag if you like but
9:01
she went out very early but she actually if you
9:03
went out she went out of the
9:05
corner and I'm in a solid jab straight away. So
9:08
to be fair tell you how
9:10
to fight back. Yes you did. I mean compared to trying to
9:12
land that right she wasn't turning it just enough. And
9:15
I'm grooving because I picked the method of victory
9:17
but I mean I do think that I've always
9:19
thought that if she can hurt it early if
9:22
Ryan can hurt a half early I know
9:25
what sort of fighter she is
9:27
and Sandy Ryan she
9:29
will feed off that. Yeah. She will only have to hook it.
9:31
She never I understand early if there's a few rounds she got
9:33
a bit close early rounds she got a
9:35
bit close to her tacks that's what she's saying she's in
9:37
the corner they were saying to her they're saying you're just
9:39
getting a bit smothered in your work a little bit but
9:41
the finish I know they pulled
9:43
the clock the finish doesn't matter she barely missed
9:46
with a sharp steal. Yeah I know. And I
9:48
think just before that she found her very early
9:50
I thought after making a few adjustments that she
9:52
had to punch she was she was throwing her punches
9:55
And moving her feet with the punches forward sounds like the
9:57
right idea, but she was getting too close. Acid
10:00
Acid. That while. A.
10:02
Very forgiving the corner so this you get too
10:04
close. She planted a seed she's it's offensive for
10:07
was a she was closed didn't overseas. And
10:09
through the punches the suit and others and I
10:11
target move back easily. The movie at a little
10:14
easier says resent Foods They're so every shot. I'm
10:16
not unhappy struggling that couldn't find a way of
10:18
not invasion an Amazon, Amazon and lots of it.
10:20
I think that's acceptable to divide the noses fighter
10:22
one very responses in the corner and the ask
10:25
any was asked in it wasn't a exhausted from
10:27
into the first round if she was or how
10:29
you get yeah them somebody day that was was
10:31
a straight which is which is so strange man
10:33
but he knows his fighters. Who says yeah I
10:36
said is a nosy nosy body language. You hear
10:38
it all. About but I think for. The
10:40
sunday by that I was in all Santa before
10:42
mr business and but that that was a break
10:44
that was a person of a Korea by the
10:46
Pentagon officials the last night was she bossism a
10:48
casket over thought she was into the myself Thus
10:51
if we the doesn't grow that for me I
10:53
would I would argue barrier she got her this
10:55
is another Mccaskill ah still fun that was the
10:57
best when of a committed I outgrew cruises unlike
10:59
your because it was just maybe she'll always be
11:01
worth as much as good as a cheese over
11:03
the I guess and say okay yeah I would
11:05
say that would be a sandal when and this
11:07
phenomenon happens because of that when ironically because you
11:09
my thought on your are innocent. Know ongoing of
11:11
unification? yes. But now the doors that
11:13
open though as a be the Us
11:15
and Allied I think he'll daven domestic
11:17
rivals. Special. Women will have
11:20
improved massively and we I'm really had
11:22
that yet. much. And she
11:24
saw a character. Who Pays of or Xhosa
11:26
there's this there were there is so very sorry
11:28
about every night for the great such the winds
11:30
of a form and yes I'm what it means
11:33
that are Korea yeah that was agree with this
11:35
and it there there there is there is something
11:37
about a your other the she's busy have been
11:39
a member was he lost that first that fights
11:41
he lost his about a full file or that
11:44
is far as hard as she was who's and
11:46
that was ambitious much my kids and it didn't
11:48
work out on our members will killer face in
11:50
that fight after by three rounds as she knew
11:53
she was gonna lose Bashir the stigma doggedly. For
11:55
the eight till same as he was for she knew
11:57
to skill just too much. She came back and between
11:59
the remote. Be a com to be in
12:01
a very much a show called wish we see
12:03
the Nemesis Don't get me wrong the effort
12:05
as other positions that the to see me
12:07
women's boxing they get the offices but supposedly
12:09
so we you can see also save with
12:11
it was math was that twenty fights but they
12:14
also us a little joke quicker they don't
12:16
even get those intermediates fights were you step
12:18
of levels I don't I don't get bottles
12:20
with has said I still don't get any
12:22
that exists get sucked in. And
12:24
the champion might be rubbish sometimes split know
12:26
was like the same as you might be
12:28
really good or they might be automatically can
12:30
say that was our company or just come
12:32
across the water was before his you been
12:34
established or yeah it's is usually already happened
12:36
by the way what what what will those
12:38
when we will have it will take a
12:41
little break their will me combat will hear
12:43
from will hear from goals and smith was
12:45
way hopefully from the for motor Eddie Hearn
12:47
and will talk about that. daughter's been five
12:49
years ago some quite school ago since. quite
12:51
strong opinions about that fight for what I
12:53
don't wanna. Hear off that at five as
12:55
opposed to what what are what I
12:57
would like say A Berries don't go
12:59
anywhere but especially when I hear and
13:01
see if it would take the bright
13:03
when we come back when. a mobile
13:05
app though and smith sport we won't
13:07
have is that enigmatic manager that we
13:10
were so we were talking about because
13:12
he just doesn't or interviews This though
13:14
interviews he might flow around the Las
13:16
Vegas with his friends from the Irish
13:18
pop band You so you might do
13:20
that. But he warned though it's humanism,
13:22
interviews were avast us is the way.
13:24
Through it's like a bright wouldn't have any earn in a
13:26
second. Tired.

13:56
my name's eddie hearn and
13:58
this is no voice I'm
14:00
excited to be back with this new series.
14:02
As always, I'll be talking to top performers
14:04
about what drives them, how they gain an
14:06
edge over competitors, and whether their dedication to
14:08
constant improvement becomes what they cost. I love
14:10
roles. I've played in the summer and sleep.
14:12
I just enjoy that there. Taylor's noise here.
14:14
What makes them feel fulfilled? It's not the
14:16
monies, not the trophies. It's the friendships and
14:18
the memories I've got. And does that change
14:21
as their career progresses? Just a girl
14:23
who grew up playing football, and now I'm
14:25
getting past without even seeing the camera like
14:27
it's crazy. From BBC Radio, five lines.
14:29
No passion, no point. Listen, whenever
14:32
you like on BBC Sounds. I
14:34
must admit, Ariel Hawani, who you worked with
14:36
in Saudi Arabia, he often gives us a
14:38
big mention on his show because he just
14:40
says he loves the backstage pods we do.
14:42
And I try and convince him that we
14:45
do them seamlessly. He doesn't realise how much
14:47
work and how much waiting around, and how
14:49
many times you think you've got someone and
14:51
they vanish for, I don't know, to
14:53
have a blood test or to go into a
14:55
press conference. Anyway, Eddie heard he'll be out in
14:57
a second, hopefully, Barry. But let's talk a
15:00
little bit about Daughton's move against Jose
15:02
Sepeda. He finished in the fifth
15:04
round with Sepeda unable to continue up to
15:06
being hit by a full-blooded, not subtle, right
15:08
hand to the body after Daughton had softened
15:11
him up. But that really wasn't a story
15:13
of the fight. In my opinion, the story
15:15
of the fight were the first two rounds
15:18
when Jose Sepeda looked sensational.
15:20
When that fight first got announced, I went,
15:24
it's a danger fight this is. No,
15:27
Petit Jean, the European level, would have been the fight
15:29
that Adam Azin beat recently. Absolutely. That would have been
15:31
the next step up. And perfectly acceptable should not have
15:33
popped up. Well, that's the right step up for him,
15:35
but this is a step too far. Now, you think
15:37
someone who's boxed for a world title but has fallen
15:39
short and is still on that level is the perfect
15:41
opponent for the step up. And it
15:44
is, but in that way division, the super lightweight
15:46
division, that happens to be Jose Sepeda, who is
15:48
good enough to win a world title in almost
15:50
any other division. Absolutely. That's the problem. So I
15:52
thought it was a real risk. But as
15:55
if I got closer, I didn't get nervous. I got
15:57
more confident that I thought to do a job. And
15:59
it's I went
16:01
to the open workout on Wednesday
16:03
and I left there thinking this is a test day. I've
16:05
not been an after timer. I thought this was a hard
16:08
test. I still thought it was a really hard test and
16:11
discipline was the key for me because you
16:14
make a mistake against a payer or you
16:16
get overconfident with your success and he has
16:18
the perfect one-two, Steve, a straight and a
16:20
self-forward jab and a lovely left cross. But
16:23
he curls the shoulder with it so he
16:25
has an added extension that most football boxers
16:27
don't get and I give you an extra
16:29
two inches on the shot which means if you hit
16:31
you flush, if you lean back it catches
16:33
you clean, if you don't lean back it punches through
16:35
and you're
16:37
gone. We've seen that against Barancik
16:40
and many others and so I think
16:42
it was a danger fight for him but he was
16:44
disciplined. The first couple of rounds he got caught with
16:47
it a few times. Body shots. He looked a bit
16:49
upset, not panicked but he didn't panic but he
16:54
had to do something and what he did was
16:56
just have a good look at the payer I
16:58
think and then he went to work and he
17:00
sat and landed a loop and left cross, a loop and left hook
17:02
I should say, right hand through the
17:04
middle quite easily and then he
17:06
just got a rhythm to his work and it looked like all
17:08
of a sudden the payer had no
17:11
judgement or distance and that wasn't him, that
17:13
was Dalton Smith doing that. Hold on
17:15
one second, here's Dalton Smith, here's Dalton now,
17:17
let's grab Dalton, we might as well grab Dalton
17:19
and we'll get Eddie in a second. Dalton,
17:21
first of all, that
17:23
was, and we said it on 5
17:25
Live tonight, that was punch perfect, it showed patience,
17:28
it showed composure, he overcame it, he's a bit
17:30
of speed and he's a bit of power and
17:32
he's footwork in the first couple of rounds, you're
17:34
just in the third, look at it in the
17:37
fourth and you're out Mexican to Mexican. I'm telling
17:39
you son, that was a flawless display. You might
17:41
find some flaws in it, it was brilliant. Yeah,
17:43
I appreciate it. Yeah, I know
17:46
I had to be switched on. Like you
17:48
say, he's fast, he carries power. It was
17:50
just about proving to me, myself as well,
17:52
what I can outsmart the
17:55
more experienced fire. Like I said, show
17:57
him that I've got the balls, that makes it come blood too.
18:00
not even Mexican blood, it's like Sheffield blood. The
18:03
strong blood. The strong blood and yeah,
18:05
I work hard man. And
18:07
you had to work hard because he was sharp in the first
18:09
couple of hours, his feet were good and he was looking for
18:11
shots and he was catching the body shots looking around. I mean,
18:13
you know, and I did a thing,
18:16
we did a thing on radio, both myself and
18:18
Josh Roentgen saying listen, don't think this guy came
18:20
over for the money, don't think this guy came
18:22
over as a retirement, he's not getting paid enough
18:24
money to retire. That was a good performance. Yeah,
18:26
I think Jose came over here thinking I
18:29
wasn't really on his level. He probably looked
18:31
at the level I was fighting at before
18:33
and thought nah, he's too soon
18:36
for this kid. And
18:39
not only that as well, you
18:41
forget I was over with Manny last year. I
18:43
mean, we interviewed you when you came down to
18:45
Mexico for that fight. I didn't actually know Manny
18:47
was his coach when we took the fight so
18:49
they thought they was going to come over here
18:51
and do a number and but yeah,
18:54
like you say, I proved that
18:57
to a lot of people tonight. I know you've got
18:59
to go off to present in that sort of fur around when
19:01
you're starting to turn things around, you might even miss for the
19:03
first time so you can make him miss and then counter him.
19:05
Could you sense that you were getting to him? You
19:08
know, it was the time and the feet. And
19:10
obviously I was just wary of his left
19:13
hand, his looping left hand. So
19:15
I knew I couldn't just commit straight away with
19:17
that. I took I took Jugy's distance, Jugy's timing.
19:19
And as soon as I got that with the
19:21
feet, you could see then that's when I was
19:23
I was whipping him in, walked him onto the
19:25
uppercut. You know, I was then had the confidence
19:27
to step in. You know, it is just judging
19:30
his timing. And that final shot you knew once
19:32
that was going in, it was a 10 second
19:34
punch. Yeah, that's it. And like you say, the
19:36
shots you don't mean to hurt them
19:38
with, you know, sharp boom. That's what gets them. A
19:42
lot of noise a few months ago about a fight
19:44
with Adam Azim. I know and it's not really your
19:46
thing, but it was his name was mentioned in the
19:48
ring. Exactly. I've not called
19:50
that fight. I'm
19:52
not one to call somebody out. Like
19:55
you said, the fight's been
19:57
put there by itself. I don't know if somebody's in
19:59
my. weird and that's it. Like
20:02
you say I don't like to talk much
20:05
crap. I'm just confident in my ability and
20:07
if that's the route I'm going down then
20:09
you know. It was great tonight. I
20:11
mean well done tonight. You can go
20:13
down out on that. And then don't do me a favour.
20:16
Don't go watching it back and think oh I could have
20:18
done this, I could have done that. Trust me that's the
20:20
way the boxing works. You can't plan for all of it.
20:22
Well done tonight. Thank you. So
20:25
that's a big compliment in Daughton Smith because I
20:28
really do believe that was a quality point.
20:30
Eddie Hurn will be out in a second
20:33
we think very. Daughton
20:35
there unmarked and you
20:38
know you could also, I don't know about you but you're
20:40
looking into his eyes there. Even
20:42
though he's won comfortably tonight in fifth row
20:44
knockout. You know he's been in a fight.
20:47
He knows he's been in a fight tonight.
20:49
Draining. The training for it. The anticipation, the
20:51
nerves. All the stress. Because
20:53
you know when you start
20:55
stepping up in levels and you
20:57
know this is not a fight I can lose. It's
20:59
a fight I can really lose and lose badly by
21:01
the way. You know what I mean? And it's not
21:03
like if I box the best of
21:05
my ability I'll do a job. This
21:08
is a fight where I could box the best I can
21:10
box and still lose. That's what it should be when you're
21:12
the height of the fight. So you
21:14
train differently. They're sleepless nights. They're not
21:16
anything smooth. Your mind's constantly always thinking
21:18
about the fight. It's a stress and
21:21
it's a tired. Because a
21:23
loss is bad. You know you're unbeaten and
21:25
you know this was the test so a
21:27
loss is bad at this point. Really bad.
21:29
Think about the loss. It's just the intensity
21:31
of the thought process trying to win. It's
21:33
going to drain you. And the higher the
21:35
level you go the harder it is
21:38
for you mentally, physically and everything. So you
21:40
knew that. But I said to Adam Baggett after commentary
21:42
I said you know what? Look at
21:44
him. I love it. It just takes you back to when you,
21:47
you turn from you think you could. And people without telling
21:49
you you could. And you start believing you could. But Then
21:52
when you have your first real win at
21:54
a higher level then you know you're good.
21:56
Then you know you're good. You know. It's
21:58
not that you think. You know it. And
22:00
that was the winter him wherever he says
22:02
you are I love he believes in a
22:04
good believe it if you use and so
22:06
you do is you can stand on see
22:08
as yourself and that's after that by he
22:10
knows know what I went to.a member of
22:12
Seasons yeah I'm I remember last season was
22:14
it is Lt was mine are several European
22:16
sought some new law gives a champion at
22:18
Dartmouth I thought I'd be similar and yes
22:20
or no no and one beyond lives I
22:22
sell my own Go in there are those
22:24
like winnable. saw this as for him though
22:26
he knows he knows now. Isn't that miss
22:28
know just how does that. Us as does it
22:31
says it's hello ladies a division and his name's
22:33
in that sub sense I suppose I welcome and
22:35
as well as his ex was it on the
22:37
root causes of I'm not saying he can go
22:39
in a big Devon hyena not Sunday can go
22:41
in and B C of famer Lopez A Not
22:43
sending going to be Jack that's a loosening going
22:45
to be doubly spot for is the every right
22:47
to be in a mix of the conversation on
22:49
a table you ask? You know if he goes
22:51
into his visa program Us as is this sciences
22:53
wow just three Us is still has cited he
22:55
could soon. As they give the
22:57
things that are. Zola as a lot. Also
23:00
you those last September Richardson hating driven
23:02
seems the love okay maybe a good
23:04
fighter see one every single round against
23:06
debate but it was only six foot
23:08
Six months ago. he didn't stop him
23:10
or I've honestly that was the fight.
23:12
that device I feel comfortable thought was
23:14
with us didn't keep the same disciplines
23:16
as Hitchens it says and and hits
23:18
and say that I think he will
23:20
win Pretty choice to go for the
23:22
city's he might human stuff would exempt
23:24
that. that's the thing tonight he was
23:26
composed those in over in common sewage
23:28
just. Wanted rules and that was the key
23:30
word he used off the the from Canada
23:32
The fifth round he said he needs to
23:34
stay composed now I saw my sorts of
23:37
on the others through that. with was that
23:39
a buzzword with the with the we we
23:41
we've all we've all of the former boxes
23:43
of rigs as a you tube valuable to
23:46
a just wanted August. Yeah just stay composed
23:48
that he's a very easy I suppose the
23:50
bureau's how much of his his eyebrows a
23:52
mature of it's he went on to mature
23:54
from composed either. It was all of those
23:57
things I thought. Another shot. at it
23:59
wouldn't have the my said. in the bread basket. That's
24:01
what it reminded me of. Right in the bread basket. You
24:04
know what, when I talk about it being
24:07
generally a nice body shot is a little
24:09
left hook slipped under the elbow or something
24:11
that comes in here. He planted his feet
24:13
like he was throwing an axe.
24:15
He bent his knees and he threw a right
24:17
hand and went through the body.
24:19
Beautiful. Little shots, you can take those
24:21
shots all day unless
24:23
you don't know they're coming. Yeah, good point. So I could
24:26
tend to know even at my old age, now,
24:28
of 22. And I could take that sort of
24:30
dog and throw it to you. No, maybe not
24:32
him. But I mean, but when you don't expect
24:35
it and he was out of distance and he
24:37
slid in and threw the shot. He came in
24:39
a bit lower. And he used to pay that.
24:41
He tried to stay up. You could see the
24:44
grimace on his feet and he was like, oh,
24:46
it's half a second. There should be a name
24:48
and I haven't got
24:51
it and I might have to invent it the next time I
24:53
call him about knockout body shots. There should be
24:55
a name for that half a second when
24:57
you get caught. When
24:59
last, okay. And then suddenly
25:02
half a second later, something erupts
25:05
inside your stomach and there should be a name
25:07
for that half that half a second. It's just
25:09
unbelievable moment. Anyone listening, if you want to write
25:11
in, you can let us know. Give us a
25:13
name for that. We'll use it on the commentary.
25:16
And if I could remember the
25:18
pods email address, I'd give it out
25:20
now, but I have no idea what
25:22
our email. Yeah, we're going to plug
25:24
your Twitter. The
25:27
extra comes on. Big Daddy Bunch. Big
25:29
Daddy Bunch. That'd be enough. I sense
25:31
that Eddie's coming. There's a bit of movement
25:34
from that door. Hold on just one second, Barry.
25:36
And right on QS, come out. First of all, thanks
25:39
for your time. Well, I've
25:41
got to be honest with you. The two
25:43
people I thought would win tonight did win
25:45
tonight, but I didn't think either of them
25:47
would win in the
25:49
manner that they won. I'm not sure which
25:51
one I'm most surprised by, to be honest
25:53
with you. I thought they were brilliant finishes,
25:55
brilliant performances, and they had a bit of
25:57
everything in both of their fights. Sandy
26:00
Ryan and Dalton. Yeah, it was a brilliant night,
26:02
a boxing, to be honest with you. So many
26:04
great fights and, you know, when you make that
26:06
step, obviously for Sandy, it was fighting another world
26:09
champion, coming off a really unlucky decision against Macaskill,
26:11
new team. I thought she looked like a beast
26:13
in there tonight. I mean, she was super strong
26:15
and Dalton was just world class. You know, Zappida,
26:18
you could tell from the early rounds how good
26:20
he is, how dangerous he is and how smart
26:22
he is, how composed he was and he didn't
26:24
really hurt him a lot early. He was starting
26:27
to just buzz him a little bit and it
26:29
was just a beautifully timed body shot. Zappida
26:31
has never been counted out before, you know,
26:33
in any of his losses. And, you know,
26:35
I thought it was just a brilliant performance
26:37
that really proves that Dalton Smith is world
26:39
class. Yeah, and it was, we know that
26:41
Zappida is 34, but
26:43
he wasn't here for a payday. I'm assuming
26:46
you didn't get $2 million on anything stupid
26:48
like that. So he wasn't here for a
26:50
payday. He's not washed up and those first
26:52
two rounds, he made Dalton do a lot
26:54
of thinking in those first rounds. I thought
26:56
that was a great finish and that's when
26:59
the Sandy Ryan finish, talk about sending
27:01
a statement at the right time in the right
27:03
division. There's not a better division for women at
27:05
the moment. There are so many great fights for
27:07
Sandy. I mean, that Sandy Ryan against Chantel Cameron
27:09
is a war. Sandy Ryan against Tasha Jonas is
27:11
a tremendous fight as well. So she deserves those
27:13
fights. You know, I think she's the best in
27:15
the division. I think she really showed it tonight.
27:17
And with regards to Dalton, that was
27:20
the step up. You
27:22
know, you obviously work closely with matchmakers
27:24
on big fights like this. What
27:27
would you like to see him do now, Eddie? Chase
27:30
the world title, really. You know, I think
27:32
that tonight he's going to
27:34
go into the WBC top five in
27:36
the world. That title will probably become
27:38
vacant when Devin Haney fights Ryan Garcia,
27:40
Sandal Martin against someone. And if it's
27:42
not Dalton Smith, he'll be there for
27:44
a final elimination. That's what tonight did.
27:46
One of our guys has already messaged
27:48
us, reached his program and said, I
27:50
like the Dalton Smith fight. I mean,
27:52
that's a big fight, you know, and
27:55
that's another big step up. We've got
27:57
Sabriel Matisse. We've got Liam Parro. We've
27:59
got Richardson Hitchen. We've got Jack catterall
28:01
you know I mean the winner of Taylor catterall
28:03
why not you fight a loser of Taylor? Okay,
28:05
absolutely is a big fight against all the smithard
28:07
now You have to remember he's 16 out but
28:09
you've got a guy here who's on the verge
28:11
of fighting for a world title And he just
28:13
felt a bit different in here tonight He's just
28:15
welling up and it's you know the crowd is
28:18
growing the atmosphere is growing the city's believing in
28:20
him And so they should and he looked like
28:22
a different kid when he came out in that
28:24
third and fourth round and the Dalton Smith that
28:26
finished that fight tonight was a different Boy, man,
28:28
than the Dalton Smith that walked into the ring tonight.
28:30
That was a fight that might have made it And also
28:32
you know it just feels like it's swelling you know you
28:34
got the fight against Sam O'Mason then
28:37
the fight Yeah, yeah, Sam Maxwell on paper
28:39
Sam Maxwell was his toughest No, no, no
28:41
that was a good job. With all due
28:43
respect to Sam like imagine what Jose's a
28:45
Peter would do to Sam Maxwell So that
28:47
shows you the levels above and it shows
28:49
you the way that Dorn dealt with him
28:51
and Eddie with regards to Sandy we mentioned
28:53
that we went for that whole list of
28:56
potential potential fights. She wants to fight twice
28:58
this year I
29:00
bet that would be good on there. Yeah, and yeah
29:02
like I said she only really wants big fights I
29:04
don't see the point they all do the Ryan
29:06
against somebody in a margin tree
29:09
Like make her against Maya yeah, make her against
29:11
Jonas make her against Cameron Yeah, you know she's
29:14
up for those fights. She's ready for those fights
29:16
make it happen and it might sound kind of
29:19
Cold of me and she'd probably be upset if I
29:21
said it But if she were to lose a points
29:23
decision to Maya then it's a rematch anyway Yeah, she
29:25
was to lose a point decision to Cameron then it's
29:28
a rematch and they're all gonna be great fights So
29:30
let's roll the dice and make him happen and you
29:32
and you had both and I know that Becky I
29:34
was doing our ringside interviews and she actually she put
29:36
you on the spot She what's it like having both the people
29:38
you went I hate it Like
29:41
you watch me in a Campbell Hatton fight. I'm
29:43
up screaming Yeah, you are screaming and like you
29:45
know and then you got that fight And you
29:47
don't really want anyone to do so I prefer
29:49
it when we're up against it Yeah, but yeah,
29:52
just finally and I appreciate your time and I
29:54
know you've been been real busy Oh, did you
29:56

initial reaction when you heard it
31:38
was made. Hosea I'm on
31:41
your side with that because there's no agree
31:43
it is that he says he'll do domestic
31:45
have classes a fantastic and I think know
31:47
war the box and as these shows are
31:50
what like. Desecrates.
31:52
i think even this even is that even the
31:54
best examples and pretty heavy weights you know i'll
31:56
assume you're with us history classes over the years
31:58
as as we as we both know And
32:00
the loser can still go on. Yeah, absolutely.
32:02
Yeah, but so and I but I understood
32:05
why it got it got messed around first
32:07
of all I think I think you know,
32:09
especially for Fraser clackie and really had the
32:11
rounds or the quality of opposition. Yeah I
32:14
think it was a right move. I don't know who's
32:16
fault who's fault that was he blamed everybody for a
32:18
beautiful way That's what it was. But now he's in
32:20
a position. I would know he can't hang around forever
32:22
Yeah, he's got to take the leap of faith now, you
32:24
know and you know on paper On
32:27
publicity on paper it should it should be
32:29
him who's massively dominant because the world series
32:31
of boxing because in the world European
32:33
and because the Olympics natural ability he
32:36
has Yeah,
32:38
it's a big but it is a big but I think
32:40
what these one of those fighters who know in
32:43
the midst of danger Where
32:46
he where he's likely to get knocked out. He does
32:48
his best work. Yeah He's
32:51
one of those he's one of those weird
32:53
weird brave fighters who might just
32:55
always get it right. Yeah To
32:58
a certain level of course, but you know
33:00
when when when he started Fabio We know all the
33:02
stuff about the white collars and he looked a bit
33:04
raw and he'd fall over his feet But you know
33:06
this last 18 months two years.
33:08
I've really come to a moment. I know
33:10
how hard he works I think he's effective
33:13
and I tell what's obvious. I'm talking to
33:15
people to find is he properly punches He
33:17
I think he's incredibly heavy-handed and he's smooth
33:20
He's had to be because of that point and also and
33:22
again to go back to me. He's brave. So he when he
33:24
gets caught And the ultimate
33:26
it might be and some of them a lot It's my
33:28
business doing and it might be against face a crack, but
33:30
I mean when he gets caught and hurt His
33:33
first reaction like a kind of like
33:35
a like a like a no no, Ben Excuse
33:39
me, no, she was one of the most one of us
33:41
reacted fighters When he was
33:43
first he fired back with everything and that and
33:46
the golem up tall so many times And I
33:48
think he's a little bit like that. Well Nigel
33:50
Ben knocked out Anthony Logan a Royal Albert
33:52
Hall He got hurt and he got dropped really
33:54
because he's gloved touch the floor and with the
33:57
same glove from floor to chin He knocked out
33:59
his opponent That's not fact, that's not a
34:01
bunched out, that's actually true, it happened. It's a close
34:03
reactive fight that we've had. I think, well, he's not
34:05
the same as that, but he's an asshole at will.
34:08
When he's under pressure, like we've seen against Nathan
34:10
Gorman, and you think, oh, you'd be safe
34:13
here, get yourself in a safe place and go
34:15
again. You know, go through a second phase. He
34:17
goes, nah, have some of this. And
34:19
they're half fighters to fight. And when you have, sorry,
34:21
I'm on a roll now. You are, son, I'm loving
34:23
it. And when someone frees a clag, it's technically really
34:25
good, when you haven't had that experience yet, and
34:28
he's going to be in that position. He's definitely going
34:30
to be in that position when they fight. Absolutely. How
34:32
he's going to, all that amateur experience and all this.
34:34
You can do another six hours, you could. I know,
34:36
I'm on a roll. But I
34:38
literally think, I get paid by the minute, apparently. But
34:41
a word, you get paid by the word, that's my joke, yeah. Well,
34:43
then, as you see, I just think that,
34:45
I genuinely think that, you know, how
34:49
he reacts will tell us off how he goes. We're going
34:51
to lose, by the way. So that's Fabio
34:54
Wardly defending his British heavyweight title against
34:56
Fraser Clarke this Sunday. That's the 31st
34:58
Sunday, yeah, I meant Sunday. That's at
35:01
the O2. Tickets are still available. See,
35:03
I do my best, public service. And
35:05
that fight will be, well, that'll be next
35:07
week's pod. We'll talk about that. Now, this
35:09
is before, before we finish tonight,
35:12
I want to do something
35:14
about a man called Liam Cameron. He
35:17
fought on the undercard here in Sheffield. It was his
35:19
23rd win. You might not have heard
35:21
of him. That's because in 2018, he failed a
35:23
routine drug test for a recreational drug. He
35:27
was given a hefty ban, and he
35:30
didn't come back until late last year.
35:32
In fact, in the last six months,
35:34
he's fought three times. He stopped his
35:37
opponent tonight in the first round. I
35:40
caught up with Liam afterwards, and I've
35:42
got to tell you, OK, this will
35:44
put a smile on your face. Liam
35:46
Cameron talking to me at ringside after
35:48
his first round knockout. This
36:00
is it. Let me survive this and
36:02
I'll stop drinking. I'm 15 months on
36:04
now. I'm not drinking. I had a
36:06
drink. I'm doing
36:08
it for my kids, my girlfriend, Tanya. I've
36:11
been at gym and I'm loving life at
36:13
my next time. Before the band, before you
36:15
vanished, you were world ranked. You were Commonwealth
36:18
Champion. You'd been an ABA Champion.
36:20
You were a star, son. You can
36:22
do it again, can't you? It's already
36:25
a fairy tale. Definitely. I'm here. I've
36:27
met it. I went back to that
36:29
hospital ambulance with lights on. How far
36:31
were I going to die? I'm here to
36:33
met it now. You're selling tickets? I'm selling
36:35
tickets. 200 in 10 days. You
36:39
are a great story, Liam. Thank you
36:41
very much. I still got your picture of
36:43
you signing me years ago. Years ago, in
36:45
Nottingham or somewhere like that? That's it. Okay,
36:47
we'll come as I get. Durell. You're
36:50
a top voice. Thank you. Liam Cameron
36:52
there, Barry, and everyone knows the story. The
36:54
kid has got a giant heart and he's
36:56
turned his life around. We all like that.
36:59
It's a good story. Barry, listen. It's been
37:01
a pleasure and a delight. You've managed to do about six
37:03
hours on the zone. Then you've done 45 minutes
37:05
of me wandering in the corridor. It's always a pleasure.
37:07
I'm driving you home, aren't I? And you're going to
37:09
be driving me home in a moment. Get in. Life
37:11
is... The highlight of my career, Buncee's taxi. I'll make
37:14
you a coffee when you get to my house. Life
37:16
is grand, as they say, in the
37:18
trade. So, this is the way tonight
37:20
worked out, if you don't mind me
37:22
saying so. Sandy Ryan. Okay, we might
37:24
have expected her to win. I thought
37:26
she was devastating. Breaking Terry Harper's heart.
37:28
Forcing Steffi Bull to pull Terry Harper
37:30
out. Sandy Ryan. Absolutely fantastic. And then
37:32
Daughton Smith. The first two rounds he
37:34
had to think. He was cool. He
37:36
wasn't hurt. Don't worry about that. And
37:38
he clawed his way back into it
37:40
in that third fourth round. He
37:43
made Jose Zapeda, the Mexican, make
37:45
mistakes. And finally took him down
37:47
with a beautiful body shot that
37:49
Jose Zapeda never saw coming. Down
37:52
he went. He out, Mexican and
37:54
Mexican. That's a night of boxing
37:56
in Sheffield. Barry Jones was with
37:58
me thanks to... Eddie Hearn for
38:00
