"Dmitry bivol for a light heavyweight title and he's already been a light heavyweight champion. And get out of the love can or does he want to fight Jamal charlo and probably David Benavidez does he want that more? Does he view that as more important for his legacy? Because we both know that he really has a strong dislike for golovkin. He does not want golovkin to benefit financially from his superstardom. So that might ultimately be a factor in this as well because as you mentioned before, that my Carpenter good old pal over there at ESPN wrote yesterday that he was nearing a deal and he seriously considering it, but he's also considering the PVC showtime deal and again, it's just ultimately going to depend on which fights he sees as more important to his legacy. The bib all fight is a challenging fight. It just doesn't have the to me anyway. I think the Charlotte is more marketable. I'm not saying that it's an easier fight or a harder fight or whatever. Obviously, Charles has to go up from one 60 to one 68. But I just think the fight is more marketable in the sense that Dmitry bivol is for all intents and purposes has disappeared over the last couple of years. Frankly, he's fighting at 11 o'clock in the morning on the east coast from Russia and people aren't seeing his fights and he struggled somewhat and his fight against Craig Richards and fighters often have a tendency to fight up and down to their levels of competition. I'm not saying he's not a better fighter than Craig Richards. He is. But if Canelo Álvarez had struggled with a fighter at the level of Craig Richards, what would they be saying about Canelo Álvarez? They certainly wouldn't be saying that he could beat the best pound for pound fighter in the world. And yesterday, a lot of people were trying to tell me that Dmitry bivol is the toughest of those four fights that have been proposed by both showtime and the zone. I don't see that. I see Canelo beating Dmitry bivalve. I wouldn't say easily, but certainly convincingly. Yeah, I think I'm a little surprised that Canelo has not elected to split the baby. To your point, I believe to zone his own executives are hell bent on making the galata fight happen. And if golovkin faces ryota Murata at some point over the next couple of months and looks great in that fight, which you and I both know he's fully capable of burrata is not very good and is very capable of being knocked out, has been even more inactive than golovkin if you can believe that over the last few years. If he looked great against maratha, suddenly had two pieces of the 160 pound championship, the it wouldn't have regained all the momentum it lost, but it would have regained some of it and made that fight marketable in September. I do think Canelo is over the, I don't want golovkin to get a paycheck part of it. I based that on, before the pandemic hit, there were plans to have Canelo go against Billy Joe Saunders in May and face Gennady Golovkin in September. That was very much in talks, and there was a strong belief on the zone side that he was willing to be in Canelo was willing to do it. So I don't think there's definitely still a lot of personal animosity there. I don't think it's blocking anything from happening and hasn't been the case in some time now. The people don't like people, he must, I don't have any real insight information.

"Hits you hp specter x. Three sixty. I'm more thoughtful laptop arts. Okay let's just talk to me about your confidence level right now. Both in yourself your preparation your game plan. Where would you say it's at all ten. I'm feeling confident. Camps going great sparring is going. Great everything's been right on point and You know just looking to finish it up. Have you ever felt the camp. Didn't go great. No i recant. This far in my boxing career has always been been on point maybe One of my early fights it was all but other than that. It was early on in my career. Everything's been like every fighters like campaign green. Like i'm waiting for the fighter would be like this and i don't know what's going to happen in this fight. No no that. One off camera was early career and You know just a lot of things you know multiple things that transpired but This camp has been great. It has been phenomenal so you you've been very confident throughout this from the build up to making of the fight to the press conference to here we sit now. I've had a chance in the last couple of years to to call the last six camello fights. I can tell you for being in those spider meetings. Every single one of those opponents has expressed. Billy joe saunders might have been the most confident that i've come up against as far as canelo opponents go. What is it that you believe you can do differently that these other fighters cannot I think i bring a certain skill. Set that you know. Some of these other guys weren't able to bring to the table. You know billy joe saunders though. He was a crafty fighter. He he has skills but One thing that i know for a fact that we can all agree on his mind discipline and my dedication to the sport that not just in this camp because you can just do it for the one big fight but throughout my whole career and through a khalife dedicate myself to my crap and To the sport and When you do when you haven't been doing it and then you ought to do it for the one big fight it doesn't mean as gonna work on your favorite but when when you've been shoot your craft and Discipline dedicated your whole life.

"Plants fighting off the back foot trying to jab and move and trying to out maneuver canelo for twelve rounds of this fight. I do think he can have some success in the early rounds doing that. I've seen fighters have success against canelo in the early rounds. Camello take something of a strategic approach to these fights. Everything is building towards something big. Like we kinda saw with that billy joe saunders. I just can't see kayla plant doing that successfully. For twelve rounds i mean. Sergei kovalyov tried to out jab kello in their fight. A couple of years ago had some success bows ultimately knocked out. Billy joe saunders tried to move around a little bit try to be active had some success and then was knocked out feel like we can see kind of a similar path here maybe a destructive one though for kayla plant. Because i don't think. I know he doesn't have the power of a sergei kovalev and he's as skilled. I would say i don't like billy joe saunders i think he's right on billy joe saunders level perhaps in terms of overall boxing skills so i guess when i when i think about past victory for kayla plant is if he's in the best shape he's ever been in can go twelve rounds can move the entirety of that fight and sticking with that jab over and over again other than that. I don't know how he wins. This fight well Kayla plant is a good boxer chris. He's he's skillful boxer. He's a very intelligent fighter. I agree that he's not going to have the power to keep kamilo off of him or the power to affect cannella who has shown nothing short of an iron chin throughout his rise to superstardom kayla. Plan that would kill the plant. But press conference brought up jose miguel koto from like oh nine like i was twelve years ago again. That's trying to get into his head and look he was buzzed against he was i. That was his first bite in the us. He's been buzzed since then and he's i mean he's fought. The obviously love can twice got daddy jet guys who can punch james kirkland. Whatever anyone thinks of him as a fighter obviously can punch. He's fought a lot of guys who hit hard. And he hasn't as far as i can tell hasn't been affected in any fog a faded version of kovolev. Like if i don't know that he necessarily would have fought the kovolev who who was undefeated and knocking. Everyone out writing fought andrea ward. But but but kovalev who. My probably isn't as good of a boxer from a technical standpoint kayla plan. He's good but he'd probably not as good. Technically sound is kayla plant. Coppola had a lot of success in that fight. You know he was. He was down ninety six ninety four on two cards and one of the cards. It was even going into the eleventh round when he got knocked out So he so people tend to. I think sometimes people tend to get loose sight of you know the the could not just going out there going out there and he's excellent. You know top top of top top top of the sport for sure but he's not blowing everyone out. I mean he does keep. I'll take a step further. He doesn't blow really anybody out. At least not at the highest level. I mean galop. Confides both razor thin. I think i had ninety six ninety four at this time of the stoppage to for against kovalev. Daniel jacobs was relatively close. Fighting was like one sixteen hundred twelve largely one hundred. Thirteen kind of deal. I admittedly i had saunders having more success than the judges did but saunders for at least two or three of those rounds was finding a home for some of his punches..

"Look i'll just make sure that that. That is on top of him throughout his training camp will they were on top of him throughout this training camp. He tested positive and they were saying who cares the fight anyway. So so maybe there's going to be a change made to the way. The wbz runs clean boxing program. But but they come out of this looking. The couldn't look worse. In my opinion to as far as this whole thing goes and it really speaks to how poorly policed. Pdr in boxing. It's the wild wild west and everyone says until we have a national commission. Let's stop talking about a national commission because it's not happening. so how. how can you fix it moving forward when you have people adhering to two different standards to different organizations and then Doing different things even chris. Because if you remember in your great state of massachusetts three years ago dimitrius android was supposed to fight. Billy joe saunders and what was the good fight up. There was at the the boston. celtics arena. It was a fight. People wanted to see was a pay per view fight or anything but it was good. Fight for zone. And billy joe saunders. Android were both undefeated at the and everything. And it's a very similar instance in that billy joe. Saunders tested positive. He said that came from a nasal spray or something but it was a very similar thing in that it was allowed in competition but not out of competition and although the massachusetts state athletic commission adheres to wada code just like tribal commission does the massachusetts state apathetic commission refused to license. Billy joe saunders. Because they said you saw you willingly signed up for vata testing and you did not adhere to what the what the list of banned substances so so. The massachusetts commission did the right thing and now the arizona commission had the opportunity to do this the the similar right thing and did the complete opposite. It's incredible. I mean you think of a sport where it's more important to earn the side of caution when it comes to drug testing in boxing. I can't miss people at looking. You know we're not being melodramatic in any way set people's lives like literally every time you walk up the steps you don't know any certainty that you're coming down. You don't know that. I mean this is a brutal brutal sport you know we have an eighteen year old woman dying within the last week a and maybe she wasn't protected. The right way as it turns out. And you know it's a brutal sport and anything that can be done to make it just a little bit safer because it's inherently dangerous but anything that can be done to make it safer should be done and if you're on board with it not being done shame you shukor. Stevenson made the point in your story about what happens if you know valdez. If not pop then hit somebody in the back of head cause serious injury or even death to his fighter and then it was revealed that he was positive for something. I feel like that's a question of when not if that's going to happen like that's going to happen at some point. Someone's going to get seriously hurt or killed and we're gonna find out after the fact that the fighter that did the damage was on a banned substance and then you're comes all the mainstream attention that you want on that comes the congressional hearings here. Comes everything else box needs to get in front of us. They need to be proactive on this and they refused every step of the way they refused it..

"They're salmon minded. They go against the tide or whatever it is a strain so so you're not going to tell a fight or what. I'm not to do on what to what not to do. So if i were fighting i probably wouldn't do it either but you know i'm already passed that that. That era that stage. okay. I respect that opinion because you. You've you've been there you've that i would also just add that. There is no evidence that this vaccine outside of like a few hours. Twenty four hours after being injected with it has any kind of meaningful that second vaccine knocked me on how long for twenty four hours out. That's what i want for up. I was bedridden. i couldn't get up that second one knocked me on my tyson. Fury spent months gallivanting around the country. We saw him at the billy. Joe saunders fight. We saw him at shopping malls in vegas. Like you can't take some time during on this. Pandemic was at its peak. They're talking about vaccines taking over a year to make this axiom was made here. I go getting political. You got made in six months. How all of a sudden out of thin air they made a vaccine me just getting into this mean either. So let's get into it. Be clear this vaccine was not just made in six months. Vaccines like this. Were in the works. The levers were tweaked a little bit. The knobs retrieved a little bit and come up with evacuate the fighter that stubborn you know former wants a fighter always a fighter. Still stubborn if our still fighting days i our question i think because i don't know what's being put into my body. I didn't even like taking anything else. Nobody's telling you to be part of the trial for it. They're saying like after clinical studies have been done and after by the way more than three billion people have been vaccinated was only anecdotal evidence. Any kind of side effects. I would and plus it's surgery it's in a fighters best interest. This is not like the nba. Where if a guy catches kobe. He's still gets paid. Those paychecks still coming. There is a cost per future cost problem for fighters..

"Do you think this is going to be more complicated than people would hope. It would be well. Complicate is the right word. chris. And that's what i ask that he heard in the post fight press conference. How complicated you expect this to be now. He's not going to say publicly. It's going to be extremely complicated. That would serve probably no purpose for him but he knows as well as anyone does that. It is going to be complicated. I don't think that it's going to be anything. That will prevent the fight from happening. Because caleb plan is simply not going to walk away from this type of payday this type of opportunity because as much as everyone talks about canelo alvarez going for the undisputed super middleweight championship that same opportunity presents itself for caleb plant who could win three titles from canal wild roots and it's an enormous amount of money life changing money so i can't see him walking away from it but i do think that it'll be complicated in the sense that Kayla plant has a lot of leverage here canal. Alvarez made has made no bones about the fact that this is only fight that he wants next when you repeatedly say that publicly you're giving some leverage away to the other side plant and and al hinman and louis cuba stay. No that can nilo needs that. Now whether the fight winds up on disown or sports paper or both because they've shown canales Fights on pay per view as well so i could see it being available both ways still. Don't quite get people pay seventy dollars for something that you could pay eight dollars or twenty dollars for but there are people doing that but nothing nothing. Nothing in boxing. I like more than like network. Nuts like the ones that are like. It's gotta be on paper view. 'cause i insist on paying eighty dollars forward instead of subscribing to that damn zone. You know what it is. Chris and it's weird because the way it's been explained to me by people i know who are doing. It is that they're older people usually that don't wanna be bothered with learning the technology and i try to tell them. Look i'm not the most tech savvy person in the world. I mean you know that as well as anyone right. But i could figure out zone. I it's not really all that complicated. And what i would and these are not people who are stealing the signal or anything stealing pay per views. These are people paying know. It's a little less because it's on zone. Also i think it's been like sixty sixty five bucks. These are people paying more than three times. The amount that they would have to pay to watch a fight. I don't again. I don't know why you would do that but there are people doing it so a lot of people doing it. The last time. This last paper view kc billy joe saunders. They did a pretty healthy number. I i hear bayview. It is amazing that you hear people complaining about pay per view and then you have people paying three times the amount to watch on something on pay view. It's crazy but there are people doing it. So i think it'll be on both. I think it'll be the reason that i think it could get complicated because al hinman is not just going to try to get canelo alvarez to fight kayla plant. He's going to try to get him to fight gala plant next. And then david ben evita's and then jamal You know he's going to try to offer he's a free agent. He's not.

"Canola trying to work the entirety of the fight. One thing i noticed last night will last night but saturday night that i haven't seen in a while was canot really with his mouth wide. Open you'll tire to me. I think that was because if i'm right. He was really missing widely in badly on a lot of those shots. And there's nothing you know more tiring than throwing some big massive looping shot at missing and i saw him a little tired. I'm not saying he was gasol by any stretch. It just seemed like. I think it was around six around seven. Slow down a little bit. But i will say real quick on social media front. I notice that for once. I'm used to having the same thing as you like you know. Go learn how to judge. You shouldn't be this not. I had a pretty good split last night. And maybe because i have a lot of british followers on twitter but i had some people like you really know how to score and then of course what the hell are you watching. Are you crazy. Canals killing them. You can't satisfy to can't everybody is a official judge that should be judging. B.'s fights themselves and being paid. Let's talk about saunders. And how he didn't come out for that ninth round now my take on. This is like look at saunders. Injury was clearly serious. We learn after the fact as you reported. Speaking eddie hearn. He has fractures in his orbital. Bone he's going to have released as we record. This probably has had surgery already and we'll be headed back to the uk on wednesday going to be on the shelf for a very long time. Anyone that knows boxing. Those those orbital bone injuries are serious. Kell brook. I broke his orbital bone against lofton. Did it again against aerospace. He was never the same fighter after that. But billy joe saunders. Mike opens himself up to criticism for not continuing because of his big mouth because he has said in the past that he would never do exactly what he just did very recently late last year. Billy joe saunders. Very public about daniel dubois decision to take a knee and not continue against. Joe joyce daniel dubois. Who had almost the exact same injury as billy joe. Saunders suffered there so while. I don't think billy joe saunders has anything to apologize for with injury like that. Maybe he learns a lesson that you know that injury is real and you simply can't fight through it. It's a lesson pearl outer fighters. I think and you'll find yourself to criticism like you said when you say something like that and then it happens to you but you know in real time when i was watching. I was definitely surprised if i was being stopped considering how close it was. I didn't think it was a bad is necessarily even without knowing knee injury all the closed and i said to myself ok. Canola just gave him an absolute whooping. And there's no way what is gonna come back now. Turn the tide. So i'm of the opinion of this is a dangerous sport..

"In the home buying process and alone If it's your life rocket can And we'll certainly invite your calls 855 to 1 to four CBS 4 to 27 couple of other thoughts. Just wrapping up what I said briefly. How nice. It was last night to see a boxing match that people were excited about. That wasn't a circus act. That didn't involve anybody stealing anybody's hat, which I did find hilarious. Maybe later in the show. Will we'll play some of that audio? I know some hardcore boxing fans not happy about the promotional route that some of these fights are going. I love it. Absolutely love it. How the young people love it, too. But the other point that I made about how many fans were there last night for Canelo Alvarez is Big win over Billy Joe Saunders Saunders, by the way, taken into an ambulance. They think he busted his orbital bone. In some of my Ohio State fights down Pearl Alley. Thank God. That's one of the injuries. You don't want I mean, you could deal with a broken nose. Maybe here and there. That's still not pleasant, but the orbital bone. Not fun from what I'm told. But the other cool fact. Well, I'll say this and then some people are gonna jump on me because they're going to go. Don't you know it's a pandemic. Okay? I'm not here to litigate any of that if they're saying it's safe. To do it. I have to go on that because sports are opening up. I think Mike DeWine, governor State of Ohio, said he thinks Up in the north because we already know how the South feels about this, but up in the north. We're gonna have capacity football crowds again in the fall, So I'm just going on that. But last night over 70,000 vans, 73,126 announced a TNT stadium in Arlington, Texas. And when I read that in the morning I go Is this an old article? Is this from like, two years ago? No, this was last night. And if you listen To the crowd going nuts. When there was the stoppage when Saunders Corner basically threw in the towel because you couldn't see out of his eye and you could see I mean, he was absolutely pulverized Canela was just getting stronger and stronger. As that fight went on, so he he retains and unifies 1 68 of the guest three. The belts now It was cool to hear the fans. It just was. I don't care where you are politically on any of this. I don't care where you are, just in terms of what do you think it's too early to be opening up, or you think it should have been opened up a year ago? Nothing should have ever been shut down. Certainly. If I was on Facebook, I could find people saying both. That's not what I'm interested in. What I'm interested in is to hear that crowd. I know the UFC. Has tried toe jam in some fans here recently, they had their big UFC fight. A few weeks ago. Well, they have a fight every day now, but a few weeks ago they had I think something like was it 16,000 and Jacksonville. And that sounded cool again. Because the UFC they were the one promotion that just said they were gonna We're going to find a way to host fights they tried to work with, You know, certain governors. They tried to work with certain groups. They had fight Island. They were gonna try to go on a native American reservation. It just doesn't feel the same. I mean, when you're hearing the coach's coach, it's cool from a technical aspect, but For the uninitiated, It's just you'd rather hear the fans. And they hear the fans last night. I haven't heard anything like that. And I know we had We had NFL games that had some crowds. He had some college games had some crowds. And as we get closer closer, you're going to see more and more of this, but to hear 73,000 going nuts in a prize fight yesterday, I have to say that's one of the were using these benchmarks to see what we are in the sports world in terms of getting back to normal. That felt like normal that felt that's why I said I was this a time capsule that we open up with this. Do we go back in history? Then I read that 73,000 fans showed up so you can bet if they're doing this now, and you just heard. It's not just in the South. It's just not Texas and Florida. Now, when you hear Mike DeWine up in Ohio Say he expects capacity. Crowds get ready for it. I was at the NFL draft last week in Cleveland. That was there every day and I was behind the scenes. I was up to the stage. Uh, there were huge crowds now wasn't anything close to what it was a Nashville or when the draft was in Chicago or Philadelphia, But the NFL was very careful, and I think with the NFL was trying to demonstrate Is that we can do it again. I'm not. I'm not litigating whether this is right or wrong, but that we could have vaccinated zones that we can have pods and that we can have just throngs of people. All together again. I mean, hell, I was there in the M G K concert. That make me hip here know does that make me hip it all Pride, one of the oldest people there. But It was a concert. It was live music. It was outside and there were a ton of people and it felt like a normal concert. That you'd have outside and so we're getting Slowly but surely maybe not so slowly, especially down in Texas, where they had that fight last night, But we're getting closer closer to normality, which is good. I mean, it is good eventually. I mean, it's long if they could demonstrate they could do it. In a safe Manner than good. I know politics is still gonna be a big part of this discussion. And if I were to If I were to go on Facebook right now itself was awesome to see 73,000 people. I know the blowback I would get so I'm not going to do that. I'll stay off Facebook, and I'll even probably have to stay off Twitter for that. Because this goes back, of course, just aren't interesting to me anymore. Last time I checked, nobody's changed their mind in a year. On any of this, So why bother? But it is exciting and, yes, If this is any indication, unless there is some craziness that ensues over the next four or five months, that is unforeseen. Or it gets really ugly in forever, mutant strains or any of the variance ready that we're going to see football back to normal. Some people say Hey, football was never not normal. They had crowds last year. No, no. I'm talking full throngs in attendance and normal football again. I half expected the MBA to get back at number. Mark Human was saying he didn't understand why Given all the vaccines. We couldn't have full crowds in the playoffs. I just think the NBA is not ready for it. I think if they could have faced it in overtime, but now they're just not going to go in that direction, especially with that that pause in the action for the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. Uh, they're just not gonna go there for this year's playoffs, but you're gonna get some crowds. It's not gonna be like the bubble last year, where you had second rounders going off for 30 points and playoff games. And basically an au Jim. No, this is going to feel ah, little more like an MBA postseason and baseball's the one that has to phase in because it is a long baseball season. They're gonna have to try to figure that out. All right. When we come back, I promised I'd do it and I'll tell you why is excited as I am about the Brooklyn Nets in the Lakers potentially meeting in the finals. Why could be bad?

"That. And billion maybe takes that to heart. But there's a difference between trying to do it and taking it. Heart and actually implementing it doing that against a multidimensional fighter. Like canelo is a whole different ballgame. I'm not in any way downgrading. What fury did against wilder by. I think we can agree that. Wow there's a much more one dimensional fighter thinking mellow is. I just don't see even if he tries to change it up and go at him. That's like walking in my opinion because of his versatility as like walking into the propeller he's going to have to take out of his comfort zone. And i think that's what some of this this week has been about in the last couple of weeks trying to get under the skin but then a lot of guys have tried to do that dating so it will joy mayweather triple g. Go down the list. I mean even like kovolev to a cola daniel j because they had a little face to face pushing match at the way in like everybody's guys have tried that with canal brunei's fourth covered a lot of fights. I mean the guy. Fawkes promoter hated me. He's unflappable fellow. Alvarez is one of the most mentally strong fighters not just of since i've covered boxing. But even when you read about other fighters he just has something in his mind. He just has that unbreakable. Like no one's gonna mess him up on his game plan. I mean even with me. When he was a baby and he lost the fight he never liked. Got out of sorts in that fight. Floyd didn't really rough limb and or or get him off his game or make him do something that was unusual or anything like that Kelo knows who he is. He knows what he can do as very confident. And i don't think. Billy joe centers. Do anything no matter what he says or does in the buildup to this fight. That's going to take him off his game plan. Part of that's because of canal zone Mental focus part of. It's because of the team around him keeps in that way you know he knows. It's his event Billy is is You know you gotta have two guys in the ring. But he knows he's coming to see him nothing he's gonna do. No threats of leaving texas because the ring was two feet different than what he wanted or or anything like that. I just don't see it. Not to look past billy joe saunders. Let's look past. The balloon does that we can do that. Kells made it clear he wants to win. All four pieces of the super middleweight title. Become the first fighter to ever win. Four belts that means beating caled plant. I don't have a lot of confidence. That fights going to happen in september. I gotta be honest. let me tell you why. Look it began to germinate for me last weekend. Maybe before that but last weekend when when kayla plaid today interview on the areola pay per view. brian kenny. Our good friend was trying to walk him towards like a conversation and he really wasn't going there like he wasn't willing to even say can lows name. I don't think and that kind of struck me as all he has said that though. That's not like i mean. I've interviewed caleb in the recent past. And he's what i'm saying..

"Mayweather was smart when he fought him back in the day he was still young in his career and made him drop to more pounds of one fifty two when they fought but anyways Take his only. Blemish is that may where the loss in it is what it is. That's the greatest boxer of all time. Mayweather is demand. If you don't like it don't add me anyways. So what is can. I'll alvarez's strengths. Let's talk about that first of all demand. A stock is hell. He fluctuate from one for four to one sixty eight. It doesn't matter. His power translates in each in each class. Any flights in you know his head movement is ridiculous. Okay this man can never stay in one spot. So it's hard to get a gauge on him as far as to figure them out atlanta great. Blow me i think thought triple g got the best blow on him because he won the first fight. I don't care one thinks you got a problem come see. We're don't come. See me well before before i finished. Wait a minute. Are you sending me to dallas on the eighth of may. Am i going to be my birthday present from you. I'm not sure. If that's in the ball and bud sledge's sir because i'd like to go. I don't wanna pay for tickets. But i like throw as the only way i would go. Their in house travel first class. Only or coach doesn't matter just middle anyways. So billy joe saunders in hop over to him for a second. So billy joe. He's a slick and sneaky. southpaw fighter. Okay he knows how to get in and out in great combinations and he's a great counterpuncher. Okay he is a wbal champion. This is gonna be his third defense since having a belt and a lot of fires have duct them. People can say that it's because he was he fights for eddie hearn's and you know all these different promoters and boxing is kind of ruining everything's where the fires are fighting each other. But billy joe saunders has a good chance of being kind of kayla plant at the higher division Can elaborate was ruined to fight in his last five but he took some scrub off the street. You know kayla plant nashville man like yourself sweet hands. He's grave the combinations is in and out. The pocket moves very nice in a ring. But you'll scientists the same way and. He's a lefty. So it's gonna be kind of troubling for canal to Probably figure him out. But i'm gonna say we might have to get another person i sectional. It might be a slumber party okay. We already had mate robinson aspirin. What conor mcgregor what whore. Hey mass would all what now we might have someone else added to the list. It's might be one of those. You know jim jones wherein which drinks his urban goes asleep. Okay who knows that. They're rain to ron hubbard. Some other fake idol out there. But he's gonna go to sleep rocco by what they sing. Or what's the chant in england. London where he's from but he will be going asleep You can book it like the old school reading competition. What back when we were kids. But i'm gonna go with alvarez after all of shame peaches money on an memories on. He is betting expert slash nfl expert. I'm sitting here ready to wash his draft. I got a cold zima cracked open hoping my niners do not get the draft. I'm not gonna say 'cause. I don't wanna preach jinx myself anyways. Oh those tickets you got about two more weeks. They send me on down there. But like i said. I wanna go with canal alvarez he will be putting saunders to sleep rocco by full. I have to check my checkbook. Because you see what had happened was it.

P. three cbd g h c. I don't know super middleweight. Championship of the vote in a highly anticipated unification bout. This saturday may eighth at. At and t. stadium in arlington texas. So yes sir. Let us get into this right now. With combat sports insider de clubs in nashville tennessee. Enjoy my friends while the boxing world is finally starting to pick up again after they just announced. Pack hours crawford which is gonna be amazing fido that here in second. Oscar de la hoya. Yes the golden aboard the man who owns golden aboard promotions with arguably the best fighter. Watkins now canal ours is making a comeback. I believe it's going to be in july. I just read this morning. That roy jones junior has thrown his name in a hat. What to oscar de la hoya now. Last time i saw roy jones fight somebody. That size was when tito trinidad mood up on roy jones. They were both way past a prime. And i never seen so many seats. In your jabs from roy jones -til allies to fight with the small last shores. That's not good when you're little older. Oilman cutting grass will black. Sonic so the thing about that is he. Wants to find. that's cool. that's fine but don't don't act like you can get in the ring with somebody like a triple jia. Someone like that trilogy will not although although i say. Say what you gotta say. Get it off your chest yet If he finds somebody like a triple g or somebody in a top five and welterweight or store middleweight. Where jesus super middleweight. He would knock his block off that curl in front of his hair. We'll go out go. Straighten all the skill. You're knockout boop. That's it so. I don't i don't mind. He's older fellas fighting. That's fine style. Show we wanna see just announced koto worse marquez which is going to be a great exhibition fight as co to see them. Coming out a shaping. Once on a box exhibition interested. I i don't wanna see these older guys that are plus forty mackinaw these or even in their fifties right fighting young talent. That's not good. That's not good for the sport because of course in a sense this isn't establish a factor where we want to see them fight. We want to see them do their thing but yeah i don't want to see them get hurt and i don't want to be a situation where you know he gets clipped and he goes to sleep. He's face down. You know looking at the stars tweety twin around. He's counting cows over the moon and stuff so this is cool delahoya coming back but you know i would prefer if he'd just sit down and fight somebody. His age is so stupid anyways. But i agree. Obviously we do want to see him fight for reasons of nostalgia but we also don't want to see them get hurt and it's taking fights away from other younger people who might need the chance and or just wasting a fight for some of these bigger contenders. That don't really need those fights or have those fights on their record right. It's just money grab as it usually is so anyways. So what do you think about. Then the terence crawford versus manny pacquiao then or is this different because they can both box and they both have title so technically crawford needs to beat him to take that title to unify those titles. What are your thoughts on this. My friend tears crawford whereas pack. Yeah i don't know about this. Big terence crawford fan elephant in the room. Is we all want to see the task. Force earl spencer. Who is tasked. Crawford's bob arum aerospace is now heyman so let's pbc de espn top rank two different companies. And they don't talk that. Well bob air hill talk to somebody like eddie hearn's who's matchbox and that's why we're going to have the fury verse. Anthony joshua fight which will be happening soon helping the site but pack. I mean he has won. The belts task cropper. Only has one belt. Its way for our task offer to pillow more emphasis on how necessary that fight is to unify. Forty-seven welterweight division. I think if pack. Yeah winds i mean. Sorry one of the best boxers of all time but if he beats terence crawford somehow he'll solidified himself as how pound. I mean this may weather and then pack. Y'all right there for this generation. Yeah dan i honestly think that terence crawford will not come with the same protests when keith armand fault pack. Y'all was outclass outmatch. I'm saying a right now first clubs bangers.

"That was hornbach. The mgm c. o. Talking optimistically about the opening of allegiance stadium to full capacity time for for this season talking to to the raiders. There obviously optimistic as well. Knock on wood no question. They're you know they're they. They have to adhere to whatever the state. Regulations are at that point But but you know their hope is that allegiant is going to be open You know a restriction free. Come august when when season comes around. Preseason comes around and i know that There they understand especially with the feedback that they're getting from fans How everyone is it up the bit to get inside legion stadium and really make it the home field that everybody envisioned here in las vegas. That stadium was going to be An and you know we've talked about this ad. How many times sitting the empty stadium in an important parts games and we're all sitting there wondering wow what would it be like if sixty sixty five thousand people were were in this building. I want to get your thoughts on that. But also and Mark between the president of the raiders brought this up as well You know when you think about allegiance stadium As fans they're thinking about getting in there and make it. A great environment for the raiders. Making a difference as we've seen other stadiums difference makers and key parts of the game just because of the atmosphere that creates and all of that is true But when you think about allegiance. Stadium the stadium. This deal this partnership between the nfl. And las vegas and the state of nevada There's financial implications as well and the stadium is expected to be a driving force Here in las vegas and not just for the stadium. Not just for the raiders. Not just for you know The people that run the stadium. But let's be honest about it. You know people like bill hornbach over at mgm. And and you know the the sands corporation everyone that has a vested interest in the hospitality. Business here in las vegas having a stadium like allegiance stadium open full-throttle throughout the course of the year. This isn't just a football stadium. This is going to have super balls in final fours events and concerts and you know we could go on and on about what is going to be in there. What's what's what does that mean. That means people are coming to las vegas Yes obviously the locals are going to be supporting a big time. But throughout the state of nevada throughout the western part of the country and really even nationally people are going to be coming in on weekends for big events and staying up hotels and eating at the restaurants and gambling and drinking and do all those things at pump money into this economy were coming off covert teen And you know everything. All all siser are pointing up as far as getting back on our feet here in las vegas but this place was going to be a strong i of financial influence as it is but even but now coming off covid nineteen and the importance of getting really getting back to two strikes hereafter. What was really tragedy. People losing jobs. The economy being obviously affected because the tourism Industry took a big hit during covid. Nineteen that as well is an important part of this is not just what is going to look like in their on sundays which we all can't wait But what it means to this. Local and state is huge as well right. Do you survey the landscape in. The pandemic was devastating for everybody. That's not that's not breaking news like it was devastating for everybody. But this vegas like you said this. This market relies on tourism and hospitality. That's a majority of the economy that more people work here into in hospitality than anything else and part of hospitality. Part of like you said why people come here for entertainment for shows for what they thought would be football games for concerts for offensive. Elisa's stadium was really a game. Change right we'll beyond say would go on tour before there wasn't a venue in vegas that she could go performance. Now there is right and now there are now the mega fight like canal. Alvarez billy joe saunders down eighteen stadium in dallas. They considered allegiance to you but at least stadium was already to have a full capacity of fans yet. So you think about the marks events boxing. Ufc concerts like you. Said final fours wrestlemainia. Whatever you name it. This allegiance stadium opens the doors for all those possibilities to come in vegas and It's going to be we're gonna get this year. What we thought we were going to. Have you know last year. Going into the season. And i really. I think it's even going to be amplified even more because think about the excitement or the energy that people who raiders fans in general of different events build up cheering on team from the couch the entire year when they thought there would be at the game. So the i-it's is the perfect timing. I mean really. I mean it kind of needs to happen and i'm really excited now. Like you said we got to see where the pandemic set. Obviously were all really optimistic. We want this to happen. But we're gonna see where everything's happening. It feels many living in vegas. That things are starting to turn a corner here by. Hotels are starting to back up. The cases are it. Feels like it's getting to be more manageable vaccine is being more and more distributed and it's like there's a glimmer of light at the end of this long tunnel that we as a country we as a community vegas. Musil world have been just driving through waiting for some kind of end in elision stadium in the nfl. Like i if if the raiders adding their full season here in front of fans if that's like the metaphorical sunshine at the end of the tunnel. I'm all for it right. If if it can safely happened than it needs to happen you know some of those games last year right like the really competitive fund ones were. Were going to be competitive fun nonetheless foot like you really felt in absence of a crowd like football spectators when you have sixty five thousand strong making noise a being into the game like it makes the experience more fun for everybody involved including us as journalists. It feels like there's more of an event on as opposed to just a game being played for tv audience so It's it's here will say that. Very optimistic still still cautiously optimistic. I guess characterize it but there's a light at the end of the tunnel in vegas news is more than ever in the really looking forward to it absolutely And with that we'll wrap it up. I want to say thanks to all our listeners. The numbers have been great. We really appreciate the support So tell your friend If they're raider fan.

"He's facing some good boxers most of them earlier in his career. When he's going up against aris landy lower and of course floyd mayweather since then he's spot more mink lofton more power puncher koto kinda back end of his career at that time so he hasn't face someone with those types of skills and i think saunders we know he's going to be up for it he's always up for big fights. He's often down for the lesser ones. But we know. We're going to get the best of billy joe saunders like we did against chris eubank and like we did against david lemieux so i think the best billy joe saunders has certainly has the ability over the course of twelve rounds to call. 'cause i don't know if he's going to be active enough to steal rounds. One thing there are two things that have quotas. I worked against cannella. In recent years there was galop. Power jab google often had has one of the stiffest strongest jabs and all of boxing in that second fight. Cannella one anyone. I thought deservedly. But he took a lot of power. Jasmine galapagos pumping it pumping it and pumping it and keeping at bay a little bit. Then there was the kovolev style kovolev. I don't think was winning the fight when it was knocked out. But he was throwing hundreds of japs he was just flying out there over and over and over again. I think saunders has an effective jab but can he do it with the consistency with the regularity that we saw kovolev could he do with more accuracy because sitting ringside for the kovolev fight. It was very clear that can elo. Who's defense is excellent. Was either gobbling up those punches or avoiding them with his head movement so it's a long way of saying gareth that i think he can cause problems but just like with kovalyov gluskin. I just feel like kamilo is eventually going to catch up with you. Encounter with made this point. And i know what you think about account smith to just said. I don't know that. If billy joe saunders has the power to get canals respects paraphrasing it a little bit there but basically talking about his power cove least theoretically had the power that can lead to be wary of if canals. Not afraid of your power. He's gonna keep walking you down and walking down absorbing some of your jabs and hammering you with big head and say that's the massive thing in this he's got to either hurt cannella at some point or totally get respect totally respects so that canelo isn't walking through firepower or walking through punches because he will You mentioned areas. Landy laura there. I think that's a really good comparison because he's got a similar even though. It's a cuban style. Billy in his words has the gypsy style which is been doing it since he was five years old completely. Comfortable as saying the office but laura zaveri similar type of opponents. Laura south as well wasn't he and he gave an he gave canal issues. But it's not six years ago. I was out in the fight hunger. I think it was seven. I think probably both. We'll probably both at them..

"Because you had the billie joe solis performance against david to compare with as well and that's this was a semi final before the final wasn't it in a way so you know if cannella had gone in there and had war with him for five rounds it would have given us a benchmark to talk about what billie joe did with david lemieux and a natural precursor to building up the fight. So nice matchmaking. Misdemeanor day well. I just want to go. With the guy that's earned the opportunity and lemieux who has had inactivity problems of his own as we mentioned. has been more active than yildirim and was certainly more deserving based on past performances then yielding anyway the end of the fight. You get the announcement that we all knew. It was coming. Billy joe saunders against canelo hundred and sixty eight pound unification fight. That'll take place in may location to be determined. You know. I thought last round last year iran in december when the callum smith fight was approaching. I believe count. Smith was number one at one sixty eight. I thought he was the most proven guy at supermiddleweight title ring magazine whenever i whatever accolades you want to give him. I thought he was the best but there certainly are. I think a lot more people. That believe billy joe saunders is a tougher test for carmelo then cab smith whether it's oscar de la. Hoya who talked about that this week. You've had john writer. Who of course. Associated with billie joe with matchroom other fighters. I've read say similar things. Do you believe that. Billy joe saunders will be a tougher test for carmelo ben. Callum smith stylistically yes And i think i think billy joe saunders when and if he faces callum smith i think he'll beat him as well because i think his skill set. I think it's a weird fight. An an a fight. With a lot of feeling out. And i'm talking about mccallum smith and billy joe saunders now but i've known billy joe saunders a long time since he was an olympian back in beijing in two thousand eight when he was eighteen..

"Going to get into the futures of canelo alvarez and ryan garcia twenty twenty one potentially being a pretty good year for both men couple other topics as well to join me to talk about that and much more kevin. I only senior boxing. Mma writer over at yahoo sports kevin. I think we've passed the happy new year mark right like we're done we're done okay. I think january second is when you you're done with bad feel. I think there's a lot of the things we can say now but we will keep it happy. Almost election or almost inauguration day. But that's exactly definitely for different podcast. Glad you could be here though. I do want to get into some some interesting topics. I think in the boxing world right now. And i wanna start with with cannella alvarez who by you know by benefiting from fighting in december has the opportunity after a one fight twenty twenty to be really active in twenty twenty one. We've heard about a potential fight in february against his mandatory. You'll durham that's the wbz mentor. And then who knows what could happen. Depending on what side of the street he signs for you know kind of all the alternatives kevin. Whether it's a match room. Deal that results in a fight with billy joe saunders in may a deal which ends with a fight against kayla. Plant super middleweight. Titleholder in may what do you think is the best path for kamilo alvarez in twenty twenty one well i think you know the best thing is for him to fight both of those guys and twenty twenty one and i will throw this in a fight. That's not being talked about. But you know. He won the light heavyweight belt. We know it wasn't the official belt that he wanted felt 175. I like to see him five. Better be you know. I think that's a tough fight for him. You know you think of every other find out there. And he's going to be a favorite. Is he the favorite over better of i. Don't know so. I think that that is a fight for him. But i think the more real option is going one sixty eight so i think in whatever order he can go saunders plant or vice versa. I think that's the way to go. I think plant is a really interesting guy. And i think you know he could give carmelo really good as i think saunders could too i think canola will find a way to handle saunders but i think kayla plant has you know has a good overall game in would really make a fascinating fight. I'm not saying he would win the fight. I think that you know that. Good in that much but i think kayla plant would really make them work and i think that can be fun five. Yeah when you're talking plant saunders. To me it's six and one half dozen. They're both slick boxers. That do different things win out boxing opponents. I don't know that he'd have a problem with either. One of them because canal was so good in the ring with the eventually wears guys down a beat them down on the way he did against callum smith and look..
