00:00We've been following this, uh, Canelo, Terrence Crawford drama that's been going on.
00:06So Canelo yesterday at his launch press day for the Edgar Berlanger fight, which he's
00:11going to be doing in September.
00:14And you know, okay, you know more about boxing than I do.
00:17This Canelo fight a bunch of nobodies, nobodies, but it's like, it's like they really are playing
00:26to, you know, the last card on Sigmund Amaya was Mexico versus Mexico.
00:31Jaime Munguia.
00:32I'll tell you, it was kind of odd.
00:34Like half the crowd loved Munguia.
00:36They were, it was, it was one of the, I can't remember ever being to a, uh, a fight with
00:42Canelo where it was 50, 50.
00:46It was crazy.
00:47It was, it was crazy.
00:48It was a weird thing.
00:49He's fighting Berlanger.
00:50So this goes, hearkens back to, uh, you know, Mexico versus Puerto Rico.
00:54Of course, many great rivalries there over the history of boxing.
00:58They're going that route.
00:59Uh, Marcos Berlang is undefeated young fighter.
01:02No one thinks he's got a shot in hell.
01:04So there's two fights.
01:05Everybody really wants to see one of them is him versus David Benavides Benavides is
01:09his rats off a ship.
01:10He's like sick of waiting.
01:12He's been Canelo's mandatory forever.
01:14So he moved up to one 75, didn't look that great at one 75 moving up to be honest with
01:19you.
01:20Um, Terrence Crawford, he fought this past weekend.
01:24Israel Madrim off looked good.
01:26He won the fight, but obviously, you know, you really can see the size difference.
01:31Yeah.
01:32First fight that he has not finished in 11 fights.
01:35First fight in eight years, Terrence Crawford hasn't finished.
01:39So this is, uh, everybody now saying Canelo, maybe a little bit, Canelo is a moose too.
01:48So heavy hands.
01:50So Canelo was on, uh, Swayze universe and, uh, he was explaining Canelo was on Swayze
01:59universe.
02:00Well, he speaks English now.
02:01He, he speaks English very well.
02:02He's, he's now doing the, uh, the press tours in English.
02:05Wasn't there like a discrepancy where he thought someone was talking about his mother or something
02:09like that?
02:10Maybe he slapped the guy.
02:11Yeah, that was, uh, that was three fights ago that was against, uh, that was against
02:16Kayla plant.
02:17Yeah.
02:18And he slapped Kayla plant.
02:19Cause he called him a mother bleeper, which is very, like, you know, I think Americans,
02:23we throw that around very, uh, loosely and a lot of cultures that's, that's a no-go.
02:28They take it literally.
02:29Yeah.
02:30That's a, that's a no-go.
02:31He took it literally.
02:32And then, uh, and I believe if you say that in like, uh, like, I know if you say that
02:37to like, could be like the worst thing you could call him.
02:41Wow.
02:42So it's, it's, yeah, he did not take that well, but no, he speaks English very well.
02:46This was him on where things are with the Canela fight.
02:49So I asked him, he's like, well, where's it at?
02:50You know, would you do it?
02:51Would you do the fight or not?
02:52Whatever I want.
02:53That'll work.
02:54If so, I mean, yeah, you're in.
02:58So if, if the numbers were right with Crawford, you'll do it.
03:02Why not?
03:03Why not?
03:04I think careful don't get me wrong.
03:07He's a great fighter, but, uh, for me in my weight class, he said, it's an easy fight
03:11for me.
03:12You see money.
03:13So if the money is right, um, I mean, because you know, I don't like to fight guys like,
03:18like graph or because he move a lot and the fight is no that great.
03:23I saw a crowd for the last, uh, the last five and he don't, he don't move that much now.
03:30So yeah, it's, it's the money is right.
03:34I mean, why not?
03:35How you think he did at, uh, at that weight at one 54, how you think Crawford, you know,
03:39they, they, they, uh, weight class for a reason.
03:42And he, you need to ask him is, is, is different.
03:45I know in his mind, he think he can do whatever he wants because he's very talented fighter.
03:52He, he, he's a very good fighter.
03:55I like how he fight, but, uh, that's why there are, uh, weight classes and he, he, he know,
04:03he knows now, you know, you think he felt that.
04:06Yeah.
04:07Okay.
04:08All right.
04:10So he basically said, let me translate Crawford.
04:17You can come up here with the big boys.
04:19I ain't afraid of you because I saw what you did moving up just a little bit of weight.
04:26Yup.
04:27You come up here and you're in trouble.
04:30Could be in trouble when you couldn't even finish the, Oh, I gotta be honest with you.
04:35I'm still thinking Crawford.
04:36I'm just going to be honest with you.
04:37I'm still thinking.
04:39I'm still taking them.
04:40I'm still taking them.
04:41Okay.
04:42I'm still taking them.
04:43That's rough.
04:44I'm still taking them.
04:45I'm still taking them.
04:46I just think that he's, he's the best boxer I've seen the side of Floyd.
04:53And I think that like Canelo says, there's a reason he doesn't like fighting fighters
04:57like him because he's very skilled.
04:59And I think that Modromov is a little different.
05:01He's got the, the fancy footwork.
05:04He's a little bit of a weird fighter to take on.
05:05He's one of these, you know, where's he from?
05:09I don't want to get the country wrong, but he's from one of these countries where like
05:11they do a gazillion amateur fights.
05:14Very tricky.
05:15I don't think it's the same fight as Canelo.
05:18Hey, two words, Roy Jones, I understand Roy Jones was everything and he went up in class
05:31and the worst thing that happened.
05:33He won.
05:35Yes.
05:36He beat John Ruiz.
05:37But then he went back down.
05:38Right.
05:39Terrence got to keep going up.
05:41Okay.
05:42But I'm just, I'm just saying we tell me when Roy Jones was in his prime and he went up,
05:51we didn't think the same thing we're saying about Terrence Crawford right now.
05:54Um, well, but he's not coming back down.
05:56Like if he had to come back down and fight boots Ennis at like one 47 again.
06:00Okay.
06:01I would understand that argument.
06:02Right.
06:03Yeah.
06:04Okay.
06:05By the way.
06:06Uh, so this annoyed me though.
06:08So this guy, Turkey, Allah sheik, he is like, yeah, he is, he is, he is like the, his excellency.
06:18He sits there and everybody like kisses his ass because he is throwing a lot of money
06:22in the boxing.
06:23Seemingly not making any.
06:24He's just like, he's a, he's like a kid who just likes being propped up.
06:30You know, he, he brought a lot of those fights to Saudi Arabia and now he's doing some more
06:34fights over in America, but he was a peacock in this entire weekend is like, Oh, Canelo
06:39better take my offer for the, uh, for the Crawford bite.
06:42Then he gets up today on Twitter and he goes, just wrapped up an important meeting with
06:48my team planning the upcoming fights for the year.
06:51I decided to disregard the Canelo fight as I don't want it anymore.
06:55And I'm like, Hey Peacock, you sat here the entire time you're like Terrence Crawford
07:02versus Canelo, Terrence Crawford versus Canelo.
07:05And now all of a sudden after Terrence Crawford doesn't knock someone out, you're like, nah,
07:10nevermind.
07:11What do you think it has to do with that?
07:14Or the fact that he has had initial talks and somebody from Canelo said never happened.
07:19I don't know, but I, but you're not supposed to be like the other boxing promoters.
07:24You're supposed to be like boxing Santa Claus.
07:26Give me the fights.
07:27I want Turkey.
07:31I'm lashing out.
07:32Yeah.
07:33Cause you want to see the fight and you still, and you're going to take Crawford.
07:38Yeah.
07:39You know, many people have tried to take the other side against Canelo.
07:50Many have failed.
07:52Did you, let me ask you this.
07:53If you and I were out for Vegas for that fight and Terrence Crawford was three to one, that's
08:00not enough for you.
08:03I wouldn't even consider it unless he was minus five or 600.
08:11Dade South is called the birder into it works.
08:16Minus five or 600.
08:17I wouldn't even consider it.
08:19And in fights like that, I go, will it go to distance or not?
08:22Oh, I think it will go to distance.
08:26Canelo doesn't get knocked out.
08:28Canelo doesn't get knocked out.
08:29I'm talking about Canelo, dude.
08:31He's not, you'll see him knock big ass Munguia on the ground.
08:35He's not, he's not Terrence Crawford.
08:38He's not, but he was big.
08:42He's good.
08:43I mean, he, listen, Munguia, Munguia made Canelo look small till he got hit with that
08:52right hand and he took a knee.
08:56I did like watching the last, I do like when, uh, the last 24, seven, I watched with Canelo
09:03or whatever the hell they call whatever brand it was, but he's just like, he's just like
09:08kicking sparring partners ass.
09:09He goes, give me fresh one.
09:10I was like, Oh my God, this guy's insane.
09:14I'm just saying like, we've gotten to the point where we get with all these fighters
09:22where anybody who you think poses a threat, you just go ahead on with, and I'm not doing
09:30that with Canelo.
09:31I don't care if it's Terrence Crawford.
09:34I'm just, I'm just saying anybody but Canelo now, if you, if he fights Canelo and here's
09:43the kicker, Terrence Crawford don't need the money.
09:48So as big as the fight would be, he could say no.
09:55And Canelo said, look, there's weight classes for a reason.
10:01Usually when they say that the dude that's coming up to them gets pounded.
10:06Well Canelo found that out.
10:07I mean, he lost a beavel going up too far, right?
10:10I mean, he's firsthand experience.
