2:27
It's how hard could it be to just put
2:29
the computer in one spot with a microphone
2:32
and just leave it there, man, Like, how
2:34
hard can it be? Now?
2:37
Okay, and we got Jamail on
2:40
the bottom right, everybody's favorite
2:42
hater like your neighborhood friendly
2:45
hater, spider man, everything
2:47
else.
2:47
What's up, bunk, it's all
2:50
facts. Hey, I
2:52
got the I got my secret cup today.
2:54
Pull up, and yet
2:57
we're gonna turn this into like a little afternute
3:00
going up like my daddy. My dad
3:02
used to somehow manage to have his eyes open
3:04
close at the same time. You
3:07
can see a white in his pupil,
3:09
but with his pupil gold man.
3:12
Hey, that's the that
3:14
can say it's alphabet from Z to A.
3:18
He did it from Z to A. Doug,
3:21
we did it.
3:22
Never get a d U
3:26
back with Uncle Pete. Tell
3:28
me that alphabet boss dough with Z come
3:33
old fellas. Hey, boys,
3:36
so it was time to get
3:38
together. Oh y'all. I know y'all. See that the Katiana
3:40
flag in the background right there. You know how I do
3:42
it. I'm the one that's repping. I'm
3:44
dust to pour in, not the only one that reps our hometown
3:47
like like a real laughing at g y
3:50
y'all, y'all live in Oklahoma, but
3:53
stay close to laugh at Louisiana.
3:55
Which but
3:59
if I'm a if I'm gonna keep it on.
4:02
I don't think that's a flag.
4:05
Virtual flag that doesn't even.
4:09
Hey, Jamel, bro
4:13
if I.
4:19
Stop, Jamel, you're not supposed to say
4:21
that.
4:22
Hey, I think it's a flag.
4:24
You're gonna shoot.
4:25
You're gonna say you closer to laugh yet than me. That
4:28
ship puts you fall the way.
4:29
From laughing cartoon
4:31
flag.
4:34
That ball couldn't even get a flag.
4:38
I got. I got a real flag.
4:40
Listen, if a fan cut on
4:42
that ship, just gonna.
4:43
Stay just like that, don't move it,
4:45
don't wave all
4:49
right, fella stop stop
4:52
stop? Okay.
4:55
The reason I want to talk is because, as y'all
4:57
know, we grew up in laugh Yette and
5:00
momhouse was a small house on
5:03
Marta Street, Joggun House
5:06
on Marta Street. But on Saturdays,
5:08
Uncle Murphy, Johnny Edward
5:11
and everybody else always
5:14
made sure to watch the ABC Wild Ward
5:16
of Sports because boxing is
5:18
what matters in the hood. It don't matter
5:21
where you're from. Boxing
5:23
matters, especially to young black
5:25
men in urban America, because
5:28
we saw people that looked like us overcome
5:30
the same type of situations and become
5:33
world champions. Last night
5:36
we had a boxing fight. We had
5:38
a boxing fight that not many, including myself,
5:41
thought that frances and Ganu really
5:43
didn't belong in. Loved
5:45
that he got the bag of
5:48
fighting Tyson Ferry, but did not
5:50
feel like it would be that competitive.
5:53
Lo and behold, it's much
5:55
more competitive than we expected.
5:58
Many thought that Francis
6:00
and Ghanuo won Terry. You
6:03
boxed our whole childhood. You were the only one
6:05
that boxed. You went with that white
6:07
dude, mister Williford in Laughy
6:09
had a laugh.
6:10
Yet, legend dudes and Shelton and
6:12
mister students, you boxed our whole
6:14
life.
6:15
Right.
6:17
You told me today
6:19
that you went back and watched and
6:22
you scored the fight ninety six
6:24
ninety four for in Ghana,
6:27
ninety six nine three for Ghanu. Lace
6:29
how because when I watched it, I
6:32
thought Francis won three rounds, one
6:34
being ten eight because
6:36
of the knockdown. How do you get that he
6:39
won the fight ninety
6:41
six ninety four.
6:43
I actually said the man and I watched it, and
6:47
it's like like I talked to Jamel earlier and
6:49
he was saying the same. He was saying this where
6:51
Tyson Fury had Tyson Fury and in Ghanuho
6:53
had these moments where they weren't really
6:56
doing much. But I just think like
6:58
at the moments even when when
7:00
in Ghanu would when he was trying to clinch in Ghanu and
7:02
Ghana would do something that me and you talked about why
7:04
he would grab the back of his head and he was letting
7:07
some shots go. And I think a lot of those
7:09
shots were the effective shots to me that stoleed
7:11
around, whereas like uh Fiery
7:14
wasn't trying to fight on the inside, he was just trying to put
7:16
that weight on him, trying to hold him down.
7:18
Bro.
7:18
So I just think that in those little those
7:20
spots and Ghanu did enough to
7:22
win those rounds for me.
7:24
Yeah, But Tyson, Tyson
7:26
Fury has made a career of that. Right
7:29
when those guys are giving
7:31
him problems, he uses his size and his weight
7:33
to really fatigue them, and once he
7:35
fatigues him, they really have nothing
7:37
for him. Case in point, Deontay
7:40
Wilder exactly just but there's
7:42
a difference, right, Deontay's got real skinny
7:44
legs. Francis is a big dude.
7:47
So I asked you, Craig, how
7:49
in the world did Francis and Ghanu not
7:52
only compete effectively against
7:54
the greatest boxer of this generation
7:56
a heavyweight, but feeling
7:59
some people mind that
8:01
he won.
8:04
Where's the tape? Where's
8:07
the tape on Francis and Ghana There
8:09
is none exactly, so
8:12
that I think made it a little bit harder
8:14
for Tyson Fury to prepare for.
8:16
So you're a Tyson Fury sympathizer.
8:19
Not I'm just saying. I'm just saying.
8:21
This is the reason why I think Francis had
8:23
so much success in this fight
8:26
with the greatest heavyweight
8:28
of our generation. He
8:31
came in with loads and loads
8:33
of video to watch and see
8:36
pieces and places that he can pick things off.
8:38
And Tyson, I just think over
8:41
underestimated Francis.
8:43
But to put it into action. But to
8:45
put it into action is
8:48
not watching film, Mold. It don't
8:50
matter how much you have seen somebody do
8:52
something. How can you go out there and
8:55
do what Derek Zora couldn't do?
8:58
With Dillion White couldn't do it. Deontay
9:00
Wilder kudn't who is an Olympic bronze medalist
9:02
by the way, how does a guy like Francis
9:04
who has no boxing experience do
9:07
something that all these guys could not do?
9:09
And when you're watching this, pray with the
9:11
blind eye, right, because
9:13
I remember watching a fight with you
9:16
and it was as clear as
9:18
day that Kabib had beat Ally
9:20
Aquenta and you somehow scored the fight for Ally
9:22
Aquenta. So you're a high for judging
9:25
fights. He's as badder than the eye
9:27
I've ever seen.
9:29
How every
9:31
everybody east of the Mississippi
9:34
and across the Atlantic Ocean is gonna be
9:36
like, oh my gosh, this guy is an idiot.
9:38
Come on, bro.
9:41
Was that one lady that always judged the fights
9:43
on.
9:49
Bro?
9:51
She nice?
9:52
She nice to Adelie Byrd
9:54
is so nice.
9:55
Man.
9:55
Every time I see him, I'm like, oh my god,
9:57
everybody just make fun of her. How
10:00
can you put up? But how can you say that though,
10:02
Craig, how does he put in the action with all
10:04
these dudes couldn't?
10:05
Well?
10:06
The number one thing is Francis and Gowan to his game.
10:08
I mean, we have to understand that not only is
10:11
he, you know, a UFC
10:13
heavyweight champion, he took a loss
10:15
and the second time he went back into
10:18
the Ring to fight Steve Amyocic. He was
10:20
a totally different fighter. He went out there
10:22
and he didn't wait. He wasn't the same
10:24
dude that fought in Madison Square, Garden, uh
10:27
and.
10:28
Boston or in Boston lost
10:30
in Boston.
10:31
Yeah, you know, so the guy
10:33
came out, he changed his he changed his repertoire
10:36
and went after the went after
10:38
steep and here he goes against the
10:40
best, and he wants
10:42
to win. And that's what he did. He came
10:44
out there to win. And I don't think anybody
10:47
expected Francis and Gonald to
10:49
go out there and try to get a w
10:51
against the gradest.
10:53
Absolutely, and you know who didn't Jamel
10:55
Tyson Fury. And it was very evident
10:58
because Francis even said when
11:01
they walked to the center, Tyson Fury said to him,
11:03
let me take you to school classes
11:05
and session like you're in over your head.
11:08
But Jamel isn't as simple as Tyson
11:11
Fury underestimated Francis
11:13
and Ghanu. And if so, how
11:15
do you underestimate a dude that worked in the sand
11:17
mines as a ten year old and every time he tried
11:20
to get into France, they would put him back
11:22
into the desert and essentially say
11:25
he you go, man, try to make it in here, try
11:27
to survive. They literally had
11:29
no they they
11:31
had no care for human
11:33
life. In regards to France as when you're
11:36
sticking him in the desert with all these people that
11:38
can't get into your country, how does a
11:40
guy like that get underestimated.
11:43
Let's keep it honest, none of that
11:45
mad. When you go and fight, it's cool
11:47
to build it up, But that don't I
11:49
think.
11:49
So it does disgree
11:52
too. I disagree.
11:53
So you think Francis is the only guy that had that
11:55
situation?
11:56
No, but Jamel, I'm saying, but you
11:58
cannot. You can't. Quo should
12:00
have guys will and his spirit and determination
12:03
when he's seen that is what I'm saying.
12:05
Bro.
12:06
Nah.
12:07
What I think is.
12:10
Tyson Ferry has been fighting boxes his whole
12:12
life, right, boxes, all
12:15
those boxes they come up on the same angles,
12:17
the same punches, the same combinations.
12:20
So you get a guy is
12:22
totally different. The angles
12:24
is different, the punch is coming from. Just
12:26
like when Connor McGregor fought Floyd Mayweather.
12:29
It took Floyd a little bit to figure
12:31
out McGregor's weird angles,
12:34
right, So I think it's the same for Tyson Ferry, and
12:36
I also think that I don't think he took them seriously because
12:38
he didn't. Tyson Fury didn't look good at all. That's
12:41
my opinion. He didn't look I don't know if Frances made him
12:43
look bad or he just
12:45
didn't prepare it. But I just think it's the weirdness
12:48
of Francis lead uppercuts.
12:50
You've seen lead upper cuts sometimes from Francis
12:53
right, Like, it's just weird.
12:55
The only thing I pushed back on that man is that
12:58
Fury has fucked.
12:58
Deontay Wilder awkward
13:02
as anyone.
13:03
That's the awkwardest boxer that you could
13:05
probably fight. So it's like, I think he was
13:07
more awkward watching Fransis and Ghanu. I think
13:09
Wilder is way more awkward.
13:10
Than what's some what's much worst,
13:14
Like while they're just throwing the looping punches, that's what's
13:16
awkward about him.
13:17
Yeah, he just doesn't he's not a traditional boxer,
13:20
Like it's not like.
13:20
Yes, but but but he's been
13:22
trained by traditional trainers though right.
13:26
Cross cross.
13:32
I wouldn't use Deontay Wilder to teach somebody
13:34
how to box, like it wouldn't be my film study.
13:36
Like it was just like when I look at Francis,
13:39
Francis is like zero and zero with
13:41
no boxing experience, and they
13:43
have the same level of technique in a sense.
13:46
It's just that power is the saving grace,
13:48
right, Like Francis has that power.
13:50
I think that's what kept Fury honest. Wilder
13:53
has that power. That's what let allows him
13:55
to make the mistakes that he makes. But
13:58
it's it's the same thing. So I think he has a
14:00
little more experienced with awkward boxes when
14:02
we're thinking about that, but I can't do
14:04
that, don't get me wrong.
14:06
It seemed like tomto Terry. It seems like tomto
14:09
that you being the
14:11
traditional boxing fan because
14:14
as a precursor, guys, when when I
14:16
was at Oklahoma State, Terry moved in with me
14:18
for a little bit, and this dude moved in with
14:21
a suitcase of boxing tapes,
14:23
and so we would watch all these old fights
14:26
on my TV because lord knows, I did
14:28
not have cable, so we would use the VCR
14:31
if we would watch Seinfeld in all boxing
14:33
tapes. So Terry, as a traditional
14:35
boxer, you seem to
14:38
be sour on Tyson
14:40
Fury and his performance. But
14:43
You're not the only one that is
14:45
sour on Tyson Fury's performance.
14:47
Eddie Hearn said.
14:48
This, I'm absolutely lost
14:50
for words. I mean, France and Garno has never boxed
14:53
before, and fair flight to
14:55
him. I mean, I didn't think he was overly impressive, but
14:57
Tyson Fury looked like he's never laced up at pair of clubs
14:59
before got dropped in was it the third
15:01
round, never for a punch, and Garner never threw a punch
15:03
after I thought, and Ghaney won by
15:06
two rounds. The
15:08
boxing world's gone mad. I mean, please either,
15:11
I mean, forget Fury. You see, no one's
15:13
interested. Just give
15:15
us Fury against aj Aj, will knock
15:18
Tyson Fury out inside six rounds,
15:20
make the fight otherwise we'll never get it, or
15:23
rematching Ghanu because the
15:25
guy just deserves to have had one of the greatest
15:27
winds. I don't know what I was watching, I don't know
15:29
what Tyson Fury was doing. I'm still
15:32
I'm still completely lost for words.
15:34
So what Eddie Hearn is essentially saying
15:36
lest is that Tyson
15:39
Fury let boxing down, that
15:41
Tyson Fury looked like he never thought.
15:43
Is this a case of.
15:44
Eddie Hern just trying to get Anthony Joshua
15:47
to fight or is
15:49
this a bit of a universal thought
15:52
from the boxing fan, because
15:54
all day long, Terry, you have been very
15:56
critical of Tyson Fury in
15:59
regards to his before.
16:00
I'll go back with you, Ma. That's why I tell him I'm not
16:03
disagreeing with his tape. But I do
16:05
think Fury was underprepared. I
16:07
do think he wasn't ready for what in
16:09
Ghana was gonna bring. He thought it was gonna be a quick
16:11
fight. He thought it was gonna be a quick three round knockout.
16:14
It's over with Cashi check. But
16:16
Eddie Hearn obviously is caping for
16:19
Joshua. Bro Like, there's no way,
16:21
Like we think that Joshua deserves that fight
16:23
against Fury for the lineal heavyweight title.
16:25
That's Usik. It's the only
16:27
option for that. Dusik might be too small.
16:30
I feel like Usak size will
16:32
be his detriment because Tyson's gonna just lean
16:34
on him the whole time. And
16:37
that's the only downside.
16:38
Man.
16:39
It's like for me, like the Joshua and Fury
16:41
fight would be amazing at
16:43
Wimbley Stadium, or as Craig calls it, Wimbledon
16:46
stadium. That
16:50
would be the perfect fight from
16:52
going her in attention that that boxing
16:55
needs. But I don't think it happens,
16:57
man, like I don't think Joshua.
16:59
I think Joshua versus in Ghanu is
17:01
a more intriguing fight just
17:04
where you can you can put it there than a
17:06
Fury versus Joshua. Joshua is out
17:08
the picture at this point, and so.
17:10
We're bringing the U. We're bringing the bro.
17:14
Bro, Joshua went
17:16
to Joshua went to a resources for fourds
17:18
with nothing, Bro, no lights or nothing
17:21
to our back.
17:21
Bro.
17:22
Wait, so you think that all you gotta do is go to a resort
17:25
with no light? You back Aaron Rodgers, Bro,
17:27
that's it, Aaron Rodgers.
17:30
Aaron Rodgers walking and throwing the football
17:33
right now.
17:34
Less we forget Anthony. Joshua
17:36
was scene spotted with the boy Drizzy.
17:43
That back home he was with
17:45
Drake though, that's that's
17:47
a wrap. Hey,
17:52
hey, hey, Drake is worse than the cover curves,
17:54
Bro.
17:55
What you c
17:59
it doesn't matter. Drake is worse than the cover
18:01
curves.
18:01
Bros.
18:03
If Drake show up in your corner, bet on
18:10
the.
18:10
Other way you're gonna unless
18:13
it's a woman fight.
18:14
Boy.
18:14
He never he never lose women.
18:18
I don't think I mean twelve
18:24
so stupid stop, please stop,
18:27
y'all gonna get me cancer, y'all gonna get
18:29
me canceled. Man. So Jamel,
18:32
this is my question though, man, when when I watched
18:35
that fight, and maybe
18:37
I'm wrong, but I lend credit
18:39
to Tyson Fury for making the
18:41
adjustments that he made to
18:44
keep himself undefeated. Terry,
18:46
I disagree with you. I thought
18:49
Tyson Ferry won ninety five ninety four. I thought
18:51
Francis won three rounds. I thought Francis
18:53
won the today round. I thought Francis
18:55
won round ten, and
18:57
I think no, actually, I thought France won four
18:59
rounds. I thought Francis won the
19:02
third round way he got the knockdown. I thought
19:04
Francis won seven and eight and ten.
19:07
I thought Tyson won one, two, four,
19:10
five, six and nine.
19:13
So I thought it was six rounds to four. And
19:15
I think I scored in ninety five ninety
19:18
four for Tyson Ferry because, as
19:20
Eddie Hearn said, Daryl rounds why
19:22
neither one of them did anything. But
19:25
Tyson Ferry was the guy that was popping the jab.
19:27
That was even if he's hitting you on the glove.
19:30
He's still hitting you right,
19:32
He's still landing something,
19:35
whereas at times it seems like Big Frank,
19:37
who I love, was taking a break.
19:40
And hats off to Francis. First
19:42
time we saw him go twenty five minutes, he looked
19:45
like he couldn't even get up against Steve Ba. He was so
19:47
tired. In Boston, I had just finished
19:49
he fought ten rounds with the best heavyweight
19:52
box in the world, and he looked pretty
19:54
good, even winning the last round. But
19:57
I think that you have to give credit to him
19:59
Jammelle, for making
20:02
the adjustments in ring to
20:04
allow for him to stay undefeated. But is that not what
20:06
you expect from the guy that's the lineal heavyweight champion
20:09
of the world.
20:10
I would expect that, but I don't think he made
20:12
many adjustments he did.
20:14
Jamel, what did he do differently on
20:17
I really just hit on the outside, pop shot
20:19
at him, slowed the page down.
20:21
I think what you guys, I think what you guys are missing
20:24
is how he slowed the pace down to
20:26
where it was.
20:26
It was.
20:27
It was one of those boxing fights where you started
20:29
round one, two, three, because everybody,
20:31
even Canelo, starts slowing
20:34
the first couple of rounds. I felt
20:36
like Tyson slowed into that pace because
20:38
he recognized in that pace Francis
20:40
could not go tick for tat with him.
20:42
Jill, So I get I
20:44
get you saying he stayed on the outside. But
20:47
Tyson, fear of being a great that he is, I thought
20:49
he would have taken advantage of some of those
20:51
moments when uh, Francis looked
20:54
super tired, right, like Francis
20:56
is out there, bro. When Francis do, yeah,
21:00
this is bro, I
21:03
was like, this dude is tired. And there was a point
21:05
in the fight where I'm like, please don't fall for
21:07
the okie, doe, bro. It looked like Tyson Ferry was
21:10
just walking into him for
21:12
Francis to throw punches to get
21:14
him tired.
21:14
For that.
21:15
I think it was eight nine for the last
21:17
three rounds, I think, and I'm.
21:18
Like, please don't fall for the okie. Do you remember that one
21:20
Floyd fight. I think he was fighting who Tarry?
21:22
Who was he fighting? Was it Canelo? When
21:25
he was just walking and his daddy told him he was like, man,
21:27
sometimes you just gotta kind of walk up to him and let them throw
21:29
punches to get tired.
21:31
Maybe Victor Tis Victor Tis
21:33
maybe, so.
21:35
I knows, because Victortius
21:37
was the one where you had that little crazy.
21:41
So so that's what I started feeling.
21:43
Like, I'm like, man, I think
21:45
Tyson Ferry is trying to hit him with the okie though, you.
21:47
Like playing possible on him, playing passa like
21:49
that, like when you're the roper dope like mom and
21:51
I lead type.
21:53
Just lean on him a little bit, just let him throw punches.
21:55
And I think Francis was getting tired. But
21:57
I thought they had some rounds where Francis could have still
21:59
be because Tyson Fury didn't do that much right. He
22:02
had a couple of explosions, bro.
22:04
And that's what I say, Like, I feel like
22:06
he did more damage, bro, Like when he was laying
22:08
in his shots, he had the more damaging shots.
22:11
So that's why I was trying to look at the middle rounds.
22:13
I gave it to Francis, bro.
22:14
Yeah, but but of course though, but look at the pictures.
22:17
But it doesn't matter, right, because
22:19
I think this is what we're missing. We
22:22
as fans now still tend
22:25
to judge fights as a
22:27
whole when Craig in reality,
22:30
it's wrong by round it's wrong
22:32
by round and Craig. It feels
22:35
like universally people say stuff. People
22:37
have said Francis won the fight,
22:40
Tyson won the box match.
22:43
You can completely agree with that he
22:45
was the better boxer. I mean,
22:48
even even in a tightly
22:50
contested fight, he still
22:52
was the better boxer.
22:54
How scored Craig.
22:57
I After the fight, I thought.
23:00
They had it, they had it right, Not
23:03
until seven thirty this morning. I rewatched
23:05
the fight and I took two rounds
23:07
back from Tyson Fury and gave.
23:09
Y'all all doing that. You're all doing that. You're all
23:11
doing that, y'all be to
23:14
rewatch.
23:15
It, Okay, to rewatch you why?
23:17
This is the reason why.
23:18
While I was watching the fight, I
23:20
was watching it hype for Francis, but
23:23
I was watching it with anticipation
23:25
for Tyson Fury to be a
23:28
little bit more spectacular than he was. Even
23:30
though he wasn't, I still felt
23:33
and Ganda wasn't spectacular enough to take
23:35
it.
23:35
So it's almost kind of like.
23:36
That old mantra of you gotta beat
23:39
the you gotta beat the championship.
23:41
That is the most bulls in the world.
23:44
That's one of the worst things in all
23:46
the sports history. You gotta beat the champ
23:49
exactly.
23:49
That's what that fight was, and that's that.
23:51
That was my feeling leaving that fight, like
23:54
man, like, Francis did a great
23:56
job, but he just didn't win. When I watched it this
23:58
morning, bro, I'm like, no, like, he
24:00
didn't have to beat the champion to beat.
24:02
But y'all Francis,
24:05
y'all know Frances. Y'all like France. So
24:07
y'all trying to score to fight for Francis.
24:11
To tell you what.
24:13
I didn't the first time I watched the fight live,
24:15
I was like, man, I was like, Francis
24:17
did a great job. I was happy for him. He
24:19
lost, but I was happy for him. When I watched it
24:21
for the second time, I watched it with no emotion. I
24:24
was like, I'm just watching this fight, man, I want
24:26
to do that.
24:28
You can't even do that.
24:28
But you can't just eliminate the fact that you
24:30
you you can't eliminate the fact that you
24:33
know one guy and you don't
24:35
know the other. So you can say I'm gonna watch
24:37
it with as unbiased eyes as I
24:39
can. It doesn't work like they can
24:41
watch it was Francis to
24:43
win. I want nobody but still
24:46
nobody is that. Nobody is that
24:48
fucking nobody's as
24:50
that much disciplined to say, bro, I
24:53
lost to John Jones in the first fight, and
24:56
I'm you three months. I think
24:59
you three months might have been like, man, it might have been three
25:01
to you. No, it was not three to two.
25:04
I am arena
25:07
again.
25:07
I was walking out the arena, thought you that's.
25:10
What I'm saying that.
25:15
But that's the thing, though, that's what y'all are doing. In
25:17
regards to France Francis.
25:19
That was in the moment though, That was in the arena.
25:22
But when you.
25:22
Watch it back, obviously see okay, yeah
25:24
you can. He didn't want to fight.
25:26
But in that I
25:29
was like, man, they got.
25:31
The craziest thing in the world. And
25:34
that's why you guys don't
25:36
have the ability to watch Francis fight Tyson
25:38
Fury and feel and
25:41
watch the fight with unbiased eyes because
25:43
we spent time with Frances in Boston, we
25:45
have seen spent time with Francis and places like
25:48
Vegas, and because of that, you
25:50
cannot watch it and unbiasize. I'm sorry.
25:53
I wasn't even gonna watch the fight. That's how
25:55
I was excited.
25:56
I was for this thing, so I know I could watch
25:58
it with unbiased eyes. I
26:00
thought Francis was gonna get finished in three like
26:02
that was my That's why I didn't even watch it.
26:05
But if Francis won, But
26:07
it's like saying this the rightest say, it's
26:09
like Francis is the king of the world now. But
26:12
is he one bad performance from being
26:14
like, oh, we knew this is what it was and
26:16
Anthony Joshua fighter Deontay Wilder
26:19
fight where it doesn't go that way?
26:22
Or is he really this high level box
26:24
Do you guys really think Francis and Gano is now
26:26
this high level box that can be with these guys.
26:28
He's not a high level boxer, but he
26:30
can't lose, Like, it don't matter what's one of.
26:32
Those guys he's fight, he would not lose. Even
26:34
if he lose the fight, he don't lose. Bro.
26:36
Why he's not supposed to be there. He's
26:39
not supposed to be fighting those guys zero
26:42
zero one zero guy fight all the champs.
26:45
It's not supposed to crazy Francis.
26:47
If I'm Francis, it's no more mm A for me
26:49
though, really, so you're not going back to
26:51
mixed martial arts.
26:53
Or what.
26:54
To go?
26:55
Make so much money? Less?
26:56
Bro?
26:58
Who would have thought Francis could go? Who would
27:00
have thought Francis could go thirty minutes?
27:02
They said, Francis might have made between ten and twenty
27:05
million dollars.
27:06
Why go back to the momute? PFL to make what two
27:09
million?
27:10
Five?
27:10
Probably five? I would go feed on
27:12
them. PFL will take.
27:13
Them last two champions.
27:15
But the PFL guys, But Jamel, these PFL
27:18
guys are not necessarily top fifteen
27:20
guys in the world. He ain't fighting sleeping
27:22
and John Jones?
27:25
Okay, what was the Let me ask you what was
27:27
the hardest day of training?
27:31
The hardest day?
27:32
Grab that Wednesday? Right? Wrestling
27:34
or wrestling?
27:35
Wrestling?
27:37
You ain't gotta do that no more?
27:38
Bro.
27:38
You could just stand up and make
27:41
triple what you're about to make.
27:42
Why?
27:43
Or you can be like Tyson Fury and say
27:45
you go do a twelve week camp and look like ship
27:48
when you fight.
27:49
Y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, all types of Fury. Bad
27:51
Bro. For me, BRO looked
27:56
like grimms dog.
27:59
Can I can I tell you cross over a fight? I don't want to
28:01
see dog, Hey,
28:03
I want to see DC. No you
28:05
remember who we saw. We saw him at WrestleMania.
28:07
He lost weight, right,
28:10
he lost a lot of weight on I
28:12
think I think DC versus.
28:14
Butter being Dug all
28:16
you direspectful, But Ben.
28:23
I'm not trying to see my dug DC crossing
28:26
the ring. Bro.
28:26
I can't.
28:27
I don't think I could be lost a lot of weight though.
28:29
I don't think nobody can. I don't think I
28:31
could beat nobody that wants. Part of the day, my
28:33
body is still hurting like
28:35
a lot.
28:36
Bad.
28:37
I'm putting CBD all over my legs
28:39
and my body bad.
28:40
Hey COVID, Hey,
28:43
I bet for a I bet for ten million
28:45
dollars. Your back feel better?
28:47
Time he's got Sean
28:50
Merriman, say put him in. He put me
28:52
in for that. I'm going to fight. Hey
28:54
wait stop, let me let me
28:56
ask you guys this. Let me ask you guys.
28:59
This.
28:59
I felt
29:02
like on Saturday, MMA
29:06
has a whole one in boxing loss. Oh
29:08
yeah, Is this thought real
29:11
or am I just kind of looking at this through
29:14
MMA covered glasses, wanting
29:16
the MMA fighter because my
29:18
thought is And I put a video out which,
29:20
by the way, guys, three hundred and sixty
29:23
thousand views in twenty four hours. I
29:25
appreciate and love each and every one of you
29:27
for the support I
29:30
thought. I don't believe for a second that any
29:32
MMA heavyweight should
29:35
be able to compete with the lineal heavyweight champion
29:37
of the world. But I also know for a fact
29:39
that no boxer could do
29:41
to an UFC I
29:44
don't even think you gotta do a UFC champion because
29:46
we can agree. Right, generally, the UFC
29:48
champion is considered the lineal
29:51
champion.
29:51
Right.
29:52
Obviously there can be some
29:54
chinks in the chain, like right now, Jones
29:56
would not be considered lineal because he did not
29:58
beat Francis, who did
30:01
not beat this dude, I get it. But
30:04
generally, the UFC champion in MMA
30:07
is the baddest fighter in the world
30:09
in that weight class.
30:12
Is there a boxer in the world that
30:15
could do what Francis did last night? And
30:17
if not, is that an indicator
30:19
of boxing as a sport.
30:22
It's just not on the level of mixed martial
30:24
arts in terms of real life competitive
30:26
it's not Terry. I know you kind of rolling
30:28
your eyes because you feel like I'm taking a shot at your
30:32
lifelong love, But is it the truth?
30:35
He fought the lineal heavyweight chap of the world.
30:37
When are we talking about fighting?
30:39
Like it's just straight up like this said a street fight, right
30:41
Like if in Ganu knocked Fury
30:43
down in the third, if that was na,
30:46
he follows him to the ground, he pounds him
30:48
out, that it's over right, Like that's
30:50
easy money for him.
30:51
I said, he was not heard. Fury said he was not hurt
30:53
at all.
30:54
Just the fact that he went to the ground changes
30:56
the dynamics of the whole fight, right, And
30:58
I'm the same, Like I look at James town Man, like
31:00
James Tony is a legend inox.
31:02
That was bad. And
31:05
then he fought Randy cortur Man and that was
31:07
in his forties, late bit
31:09
to late forties.
31:10
That was easy money, right, And it was like Randy
31:12
cortur doesn't have amazing striking, he's aco
31:15
Roman wrestler. Like so, like he took
31:17
out a legend in boxing, right, Like so
31:20
I just don't see like as much as I
31:22
love the skill set, that's my favorite skill set.
31:25
That's my favorite thing to watch still. But
31:28
yeah, if you're a heavyweight champion in
31:31
mm A is the baddest man in the planet,
31:33
man, I gotta I gotta sit there and admit that, yavel.
31:36
Do you agree? Is
31:38
there a boxer that could do what Francis did? Good
31:41
Friends? Could Tyson to
31:43
MMn fight John Jones is in
31:45
a free fight in the skill set that they
31:47
can use everything.
31:49
No, I don't think any of the boxers could come because
31:51
they have never they have never practiced
31:53
wrestling, They've never had a takedown.
31:56
Maybe, but because I know his kids wrestle,
31:58
Bud Russell's Budd fighting around
32:00
wrestling, so maybe he could defend take downs
32:02
and all that. But also, like
32:04
I said, the angles is so different though,
32:07
Bro, Like.
32:08
I saw Budd, I saw Budd doing jiu
32:10
jitsu. Bro.
32:12
Maybe, but is the only one.
32:13
Maybe Bud is the only one that could maybe have some
32:16
type of success. But any of those other
32:18
guys, Bro, there's no way, Like,
32:20
like a guy in the UFC that don't even have a
32:22
top wrestling background is gonna be
32:24
able to take those guys down.
32:26
Well. Craig Randy Cootour was a Greco
32:28
Roman wrestler, but he shot a little single
32:31
on James Tony and I think maybe that was
32:34
probably the most telling factor in
32:37
how a boxer would could be
32:40
against a mixed martial artists inside of a cage.
32:42
So I mean, you think about this. Your chest
32:44
is up when you're boxing. When you're
32:46
fighting, you're trying to bring everything
32:49
in to get your shots off, to get your kicks
32:51
off, to get your jabs off. You're open
32:53
to everything. Your stance is a little lower. If
32:55
you're six ' five, you're six three when you're
32:57
in the cage. You know these boxes,
33:00
they're upright. Their movement is
33:02
guided through their hips, not their chest
33:04
like you would be in MMA. So yeah,
33:07
it's just not happening.
33:09
Yeah, bro, you know for me, it's
33:11
like I believe, for
33:13
the record, no one could do it. Frances
33:16
did. It's unprecedented, it will never
33:18
happen again. And there were a lot of
33:20
people that question whether you know all
33:22
week bro, he carried a bag that said fumbled
33:24
the bag. And guess who said some
33:27
dumb shit like he fumbled the bag with me? Of
33:29
all people, I'm the one that was saying he fumbled the bag.
33:32
Dude.
33:32
I was scared for him. I didn't
33:34
know what was happening. I was like, go back, bro,
33:36
Like I know you can get seven mili in
33:39
the UFC as the heavyweight champ. Go
33:41
back but he
33:43
obviously made the best decision for him
33:45
and now he made a boatload of money
33:48
and there are a lot of fights out there
33:50
for him. But now, guys,
33:53
Sean O'Malley is arguing with Devin
33:56
Haney about a crossover fight.
33:58
You got Jake Paul saying he's gonna go to m m
34:00
A fighting DS. Now does
34:03
any of this interest you guys? You know no,
34:06
it doesn't.
34:08
Like I don't like to see it, Bro, I just don't
34:10
want to see I don't want to doing.
34:13
What are we doing?
34:14
Yeah, like this is stupid.
34:15
No, we
34:17
gotta stop at some point, just
34:20
we can't do everyone. But every time you catch your
34:22
belt, it's like, all right, let me call out boxing. No,

34:32
You actually had boycotted the fight yesterday.
34:35
Bro, I wasn't gonna watch like until you call me,
34:37
Bro, like I was gonna I was gonna sit
34:39
there.
34:39
I was watching like Murder Mysteries, Bro. So
34:42
like when you.
34:43

34:45
I got this watch because
34:48
I really just thought that he was gonna get I
34:50
don't I'm not interested in this stuff.
34:52
Bro.
34:52
You know what I told him, Jamel, I said, you better
34:54
watch it right now. You're gonna have fomo. He's
34:57
like, what's fomo? I said, if f you're missing out,
34:59
I said, oh, my our Friends is just walking right
35:01
now. It looks so cool. You got all these
35:03
dudes. I was like, I gotta watch
35:06
this ship right.
35:08
I wouldn't gonna watch it either until then you
35:10
called me to and he was like the fight all
35:12
starting to fight, So I hurry up and
35:14
wait and look. But I'm like, you didn't want to watch it, bro,
35:17
Like I didn't think. I didn't think Friends
35:19
was gonna get knocked out because of like Peri's
35:22
power. I just thought he was gonna get tired and kind
35:24
of be like just get finished
35:26
that way.
35:27
But I just would.
35:28
I don't like it, Bro, you know why I'm shook on it
35:30
all?
35:31
Wow.
35:31
Twenty five years ago, Bro celebrity brought
35:34
boxing when the Fridge fought my new
35:36
bowl. Bro, Bro
35:39
like in the reft kept on saying, all
35:41
right.
35:41
Fellas like that might
35:43
have been mis lane man. Bro.
35:47
He said all right, fellas, you ain't gonna get paid if y'a
35:49
don't start throwing some punches and
35:51
you seven seven eleven,
35:54
Bro, And and the fridge is
35:56
a fridge, my brother, and
35:58
they just stand out.
35:59
That looks like
36:03
and that's all it is is celebrity boxing,
36:05
Bro, Bro, celebrity
36:07
boxing.
36:08
So when all these crossover fights are starting to kick
36:10
off, I just immediately immediately
36:12
think of celebrity boxing. But I mean they
36:15
have a tangle about it now though,
36:17
because it's it's actual combat
36:20
sports guys getting in there and they're
36:22
fighting.
36:22
So Bro, you
36:24
know, you know, you know lost the most
36:26
last night. I thought that boxer lost. I
36:29
thought that Tyson Fury lost a little bit. I
36:31
thought you sick lost a lot.
36:34
Because now the interesting that fighters, people
36:36
will now start to want to see Francis fight
36:38
again opposed to fighting him against
36:40
us, which I don't know if it happens
36:42
in December, because I think Tyson might
36:45
need a little bit of time to reevaluate what he's
36:47
doing. But but you
36:49
don't think he should fight in December.
36:51
Not in December. I don't think you're prepared.
36:53
He's not ready.
36:54
He showed that I'm not taking
36:56
nothing away from Francis. But I don't think Fury
36:58
is ready to go in December.
36:59
December, but
37:02
that's different body styles, t that's different
37:04
punching problem.
37:05
I think he do small. I think Francis
37:07
was bigger than he thought. That gave him problem.
37:09
And France is strong. Every time he
37:11
got to the clinch. I think Francis's MMA
37:14
background, the ability to control
37:17
the clinch really gave him problems
37:19
because he would just throw him off him. He really
37:21
would just throw him off of him because he understands
37:23
how to maneuver the weight.
37:25
But usick being small,
37:27
though he's a slick South Paul man,
37:29
he can he can fight. He
37:32
showed that against Anthony Joshua. You can't
37:34
just walk him down and over power man. The
37:36
dude is a soft Paul. He got power,
37:39
he got angles. He's kind of like
37:41
a bigger version of Lomo right like
37:43
where he can get them angles. He can catch
37:45
you like he's gonna make you look bad if you're
37:47
not ready, and if he's not ready, he
37:50
gonna get beat up.
37:51
Bro Tyson hasn't tired before.
37:53
He's retired before. And like I said yesterday,
37:56
he might want to consider looking at what his future
37:58
looks like for him before here we go. Guys,
38:02
I appreciate it. I appreciate you all thoughts
38:04
on this because I know boxing
38:06
is something we have watched for a really long time. But for me,
38:09
I love watching Francis, the king that he is,
38:11
take a chance on himself and say,
38:14
you know what I can do. This went out
38:16
there and did it and did it at a super high level.
38:18
And now I mean he
38:20
is going to ride as high as anyone has
38:22
ridden in a really long time.
38:25
There's one thing to leave the UFC. It's
38:28
another thing to leave the UFC is the heavyweight champion
38:30
of the world. That's what Francis and gan Who
38:32
did and last night he showed that
38:34
he belongs. It's just was
38:37
our Saturday is what frances
38:39
and Gano did. And Saturday night when
38:42
Francis showed is that he belongs
38:44
and that with the best heavyweights in the world. Would
38:48
I would advise, though, be
38:51
very smart what the future looks like,
38:53
because I believe that a one performance away
38:56
from being just another MMA guy,
38:59
that's step into a realm that you
39:01
were not familiar with. So for all the
39:03
good will you made in the fight against Tyson
39:05
Fury last weekend. You
39:08
cannot fumble it like
39:10
you like the bag by going in
39:13
there with someone that could prove that,
39:16
by going in there with someone that
39:18
could prove to be too
39:21
dangerous, too skilled, and to
39:23
experienced for you inside
39:26
of a boxer ring, there is no more surprises,
39:29
and I don't know if Francis and Gano needs to surprise
39:31
anyone. Guys, that was
39:34
Cormier's corner. I'm DC. That's
39:36
Terry, Craig and Jamel.
39:39
