[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

All right, guys, welcome to the stage. Now he has an upcoming WBC welterweight title fight against Mario Barrios on Saturday. Barrios is working with Ryan's former trainer, Joe Goosen. Ryan, how you doing, bro?

[Ryan Garcia]

I'm doing good. Good to see you, man.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

All right. Oo Take it away.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Listen, obviously you have a big fight coming up. Based on film that you've watched, is there anything that you see from Mario that can give you problems in this upcoming fight?

[Ryan Garcia]

Do I think anything that he give me Problem?

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, anything that he does well that might be able to give you problems? You know, obviously round by round, you have to make certain adjustments as the fight goes on. But based on what you watch from him in previous fights, is there anything that you have to watch out for?

[Ryan Garcia]

Well, you got to watch out. I mean, obviously he has a good, good height and reach on him. So we gotta, you know, that, that, that faces some challenges, but nothing that we haven't, you know, seen before the years of fighting. I don't want to, I guess, go into too much detail. It kind of gives him an idea of what I expect from him. So for me, just, I see some things, but we'll be ready for what he got.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Are you concerned, are you have, do you have any concerns, any worries that your former trainer who you work with in the past that knows you very well is now in his corner training him?

[Ryan Garcia]

No, I really don't. Boxing, you know, it's, it's, it's. I Mean, it is part of the. The trainer. But, you know, with Joe, I didn't spend that much time with them. You know, it would be different if it was somebody that, you know, I spent, you know, years and years and years with. But Joe was in there for a short period of time, and if anything, I think it gives me advantage. You know, I know exactly how he trains, exactly how he trained, and I know it ain't what I'm doing. I know I'm doing. I definitely see that as more of an advantage for me. But I do feel like it's messed up, though.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

I'm like, damn, why do you feel it's messed up?

[Ryan Garcia]

Just because of the conversations I've had with Joe before and just kind of like, oh, okay, the opportunity came. You took that pretty quick, you know, not even a call, you know, So, I mean, no hard feelings, right? It's part of the game. But I just felt like that was. That was a little weird. But ain't no loyalty in this game.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

No.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah. I mean, listen, that. That's business. That's the way business works. Obviously, when it comes to trainers, they have an opportunity. Mario saw an opportunity to be able to train with someone that is somewhat familiar with your game. And most of the time, regardless of what they tell them, once you get in the ring, it doesn't matter how much training you do, you. You still got to go in there and fight. You still got to go in there land punches. You still have to go in there with some sort of game plan, and I'm sure you're going to be ready. I'm pretty excited. And what I don't want to do, but I have to ask. I don't want to put the carriage before the horse. When you win this fight, I'm telling you, you're going to win. I'm saying it ahead of time. When you win this fight, what do you see next for you as your big, mega fight? There's so many different fights. All of us want to see you. Devin Haney, maybe Shakur, I think devont. I mean, Javante Davis right now, I think he's going through with some personal right now. Is there anything you'd like to see after you get this fight over?

[Ryan Garcia]

You know, right now, I'm not trying to look too far ahead, but.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, yeah, that's what I said.

[Ryan Garcia]

I've said before. You know, I. I'm really interested in the Shakur fight. Just. It gets me going, you know, and those are the type of fights that you'll see the best out of me. So definitely he's somebody I wanna, I wanna, you know, I want to look into after this fight for sure, right?

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Barrios is a dangerous fighter. I mean, he ain't no company. It ain't like you just got to walk, you know, you got a Sunday picnic, right? I mean, he is a dangerous fighter. Obviously, we know what you bring to the table and when you've locked in, you are as good as they have at the division in which you in. Are you locked in? Are you ready to fight? Come Saturday night, can we expect to see the best ryan Garcia?

[Ryan Garcia]

Oh, 100%. You know, I'm so excited to show everybody, you know, it's. It's one of those things when you're so innerly confident, you just want to show the world what you got and what you've been preparing for. So for me, you know, I'm as locked in as I've been. So I can't wait the opportunity to show you guys. All I can do is say, can't wait to show you. That's it. I mean, I feel like CoC is cheap at this point. You just got to do it.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Why the long layoff? Why the long stretches? I mean, what's going on?

[Ryan Garcia]

You know, my whole career has been like that. You know, I get some momentum and then all of a sudden, you know, stuff happens and I'm forced to take some time off. I don't know, that's just how it's been. But you've seen me when I get some type of consistency in fights and in training camps, you see the best versions of me. So, you know, right here, you know, we went straight to work. You know, after the Rolando fight, we, we took the, we took the loss, but we learned a lot of lessons with it and we got right back to work. So you're going to see a great performance this time around.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

With. After this fight, would it. Ideally, ideally. How many times would you want to fight in? 20, 26. Can you see, can you see one more?

[Ryan Garcia]

I definitely can see one more for sure, possibly two, but 101 more. We got to keep it consistent. That's key with me, you got, you got to keep it right. You know, in boxing, that's what it, that's what it's about. You know, you got to be active. That, that's, that's the main thing in boxing. You got to be active. And you know, that makes. That's when Canelo was the greatest, you know, when he was active and Floyd and everybody, when they, when they Continue fight, that, that's when their best performance are.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

And not only being active, you're one of the few fighters that I think doesn't duck any smoke. You don't care about who the opponent is. You want to fight the best of the best. And for that, if win, win. Obviously, after this burials fight, I really look forward to, you know, you being able to get the Shakur fight or maybe you being able to get that rematch with Javante once he gets his issues handled, you know, you know, out outside of the ring. So, man, I can't wait. I mean, I'm excited, obviously. Ryan, we met multiple times. You know how much I love the sweet sign, so I'm really looking forward to it.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

How do you, how do you feel coming into this fight? Are you good? Are you where you want to be weight wise? Are you going to be able to make weight? There are no. I don't think there are any rehydration clauses in this. And so you'll be able to be, you'll be able to rehydrate, eat and be able to have a great fight come Saturday night. Are you where you want to be? Have you had a great camp? No injuries, no setbacks, just full steam ahead?

[Ryan Garcia]

No, this camp has been amazing. Everything's dialed in from the diet to the training to the sparring, everything's been on point. No problems making weight at all. They just had the seven day check in wait the WBC and I was 149, so I'm right there. That's. It's not even a cut really. So that's what happens when you pay attention to everything and you follow the diet and everything. It's easy. So we definitely gonna have a smooth night come Saturday, right?

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

What do you walk around? What's your way? What do you walk around if, when, when? Let's just say you two months after this fight, what's your walk around weight?

[Ryan Garcia]

I say like 160.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Oh yeah, that ain't nothing.

[Ryan Garcia]

Yeah, 160 is pretty good. But when I was, when I took that year off, when they suspended me for a year, it was like 181, 182.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

What?

[Ryan Garcia]

Yeah, this boy was big. This boy was big and it didn't look good either.

[Naheer Albright]

That's the problem.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Hey, I have a question. I've always wanted to ask this. Obviously not really understanding it when it comes to winning, when you win fights and you win belts, whether it's wbc, wba, ibf, wbo, how do you feel? What do you think about Sanctioning Fe, do you think sanctioning fees is something that needs to be done away with or do you feel okay with paying sanctioning fees?

[Ryan Garcia]

I just think we need to know where the money's going at, to be honest. If you, if you agree to the sanctioning fee, I guess we should know where our money's going to. If it's going to a good cause or if it's going to retired fighters like they say, or, you know, because I care about fighters that are retired and have issues. So for me, I just want to know where the, where the money's going. I think that's key for me. I love the rich history of the belts and I love, yes, the organizations that, what it represents and you know, Muhammad Ali held those belts and all these great fighters of the past and I wouldn't want to get rid of them in any way. So for me it's a double edged sword. But there definitely needs to be some new regulations and a little bit more inspection, I guess.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Right.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

How do we make sure we get the Ryan Garcia that we saw fight Devin Haney, which I believe is one of your best fights.

[Ryan Garcia]

Yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

How do we make sure on Saturday night that Ryan Garcia shows up against Barrios?

[Ryan Garcia]

It's all within me, man. I learned a lot of lessons, especially after the Haney fight. And even what I represented, you know, during the Haney fight, you know, I didn't treat my body like a temple. You know, I definitely just thought I was superhuman. You know, I thought I could just keep on doing stupid things and my talent would take care of everything. But those stuff catch up to you. And God humbled me in a real way. And you know, it's all about being disciplined and making sure that, you know, every part of your body is working like a system. And once I understood that and I really took time, you know, after my fight with Rollies, just to really learn myself, learn my body. And then I just started building momentum and then I felt like myself again for the first time in, in a long time. And I think that's when I seen the light again and I was like, okay, I'm really that guy. My hands are really that fast. I'm really that guy. When I'm locked in, I'm that guy. Nobody can really touch me. Like I just felt that way then. Like it just carried over all the way through camp. And then now I'm just in love of just making sure I'm the sharpest, the cleanest I could be and just healthy, just like I just know nobody could like really mess with me when I'm at my top, my top of my top game because I'm fast, I'm twitchy and I just, I'm on everything. So you know, I fell in love with that. I'm like damn, what am I doing? Like I really got it like that. I cannot giving it up for whatever reasons. You know, it's all about sacrifices in life. The greatest things in life has came through sacrifice and I needed a reality check and I definitely got it.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

How do you, what have you done? There have been some negative comments to your reputation, maybe some of the things you've said, some of the things that you've done, but what are some of the concrete changes that you've made in your life to make sure the things that, that have transpired that kind of, kind of held you back, kept you from being the best person that you can be? What are some of the changes that you made, be it personnel in your life, maybe the steps that you've taken that make sure that we don't get the. A year and a half ago, two years ago.

[Ryan Garcia]

Ryan Garcia yeah, I mean a lot of it had to do with just, you know, mental health issues. So we definitely started there and then we had to, you know, really take a step back and realize what's really going on. You know what I mean? It's like why am I drinking so much? Why am I crashing out so hard about certain things and you know, not caring about myself. I was in self destruction mode after the Haney fight. I just, after feeling like I was set up and you know, and, and just feeling like so it was so injustice because in my heart, yeah, I may have been drinking and doing all that, but I never, never took steroids in my life and I'll go down to my deathbed with that. And it just hurts me because I got tested the whole time through and it really damaged my heart and I just wanted every, I just wanted to like say fuck everything. I don't care about anything. I don't care about my reputation. I just lost it. Like I definitely went into a manic state of just not giving a fuck, you know. And it really destroyed a part of my life and a part of my reputation, part of my relationship with God, everything. I just, I wanted to tear everything down, everything. So it was just self reflection therapy and staying away from toxins that will mess with your brain, you know, you don't. Drinking is not good kids. And I would go into the healthy lifestyle, you know, if you could learn sooner rather than later. Do it. And, yeah, I may have kicked his ass off a couple shots, but don't you think that's possible? To do it again and again? Might not ever happen again. You know, it'll never happen again for sure. I don't know how I won that fight, but basically, yeah, just cleaning my lifestyle, making. Making those changes in my life, in my heart, and shifting my eyes towards God, and that's really what did it for me.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

I respect that, bro. For you accepting before you take an accountability and says he. I've made some mistakes in my life. I understand the mistakes that I've made, and I'm doing. I'm doing the best job I possibly can to make sure this Ryan Garcia going forward is something that I can be proud of, my family, my fans can be proud of. So, Ocho and I take my hat off to you, bro. Congrats.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, most definitely. I just.

[Ryan Garcia]

I just, like, at this point, it's like, I'm fighting for a world championship, and, you know, part of me is like, maybe it's good. I never really got that championship. Yeah, I got the fame and, yeah, I had all the money and everything, but to represent what a champion really is, I don't think I was ready to do that. You know what I mean? It's, like, to be a champion, I see, like, an honorable dude that you want to. You want to see, like, damn, that's how he holds himself. You know what I mean? I know I'm ready for that now. Like, when I get that title, I'm gonna hold it proudly, and I'm gonna. I'm gonna kick ass. And we're not running from no smoke as the champion. I promise you that. That's a hundred percent. After Saturday night, I'm ready to rumble again. I gotta just keep hold of that belt.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Ocho.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Ryan Garcia beats Mario Barrios. Excuse me, Mario Barrios. To win the WBC welterweight title. Garcia put on a clinic. He landed more power shot punches through eight rounds against Barrios than he did in the entire fight against Rolly Romero, according to Compubox Ojo. You know, it seemed like Barrios was trying to protect himself against the left because we know that is Ryan's power shot. But all he did, it seemed like his, his thing was throw the left out there and then hit him with the overhand right.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Right.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

And he landed that shot anytime he wanted to. Every time he threw it, it damn near got home. And from the time he made him touch it within the what, the first 30 seconds, first minute of the fight, Ojo, he felt this power. He's like, well, damn, yeah, I ain't expect this. And he didn't. I mean, I'm surprised that his corner didn't have an answer or a counter, because I understand you want to neutralize the left, but if he doesn't do that, you got to have a counter to his counter. Ocho, what did you think about this fight?

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

I mean, Ryan dominated the fight all, all the rounds, obviously all 12 rounds. I was. I was hoping Barrios with it. With as much experience as he has in the ring, I was expecting him to adjust at some point. Obviously, when Ryan set the tone and dropping him early when he hit him on top of the temple, obviously that. That made him a little gun shy. He didn't really want to throw because he didn't want to get. Get caught. Outside of that, it made me. Ryan did the same thing basically all 12 rounds. Jab, jab, check, hook, every so often, right hand, 1, 2. And it was really the same thing. I think for anyone, any. For Barrios to have a chance tonight, he would have had to take some chances. He had to make the fight ugly. He would have had to fight on the inside and. And just go to work. And he. He didn't do any of those things. He didn't make any adjustments. I mean, based on what I could see. And Ryan dominated the entire fight.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

He did. And that's what makes you so frustrated with Ryan. But when he had the conversation on show, he said, man, look, I wasn't taking the fight serious. I was getting drunk. I was doing things that I shouldn't have been doing. He says, but I'm serious about this fight. And you're going to see a different king, Ryan Garcia. That's what he told us. And he was very calm. He seemed very posed, very composed in. In his tone. He didn't get too high, he didn't get too low. But what I saw tonight, this is the Ryan Garcia I want to see. Yeah, this is a guy that, that was taking his craft serious. And we said when he and the Devin Haney fight, I said, the man, if the man took. If he took fighting serious, if he got himself in shape, he was in shape tonight. He wasn't tired, he wasn't fatigued. He fought all. The thing I think his corner told him was like, bro, stay out. Hey, keep the fight in the middle of the ring. You don't want to get on the ropes. Keep fighting the middle of the ring and then, hey, you can do whatever you want to do to him from that. From that range. But I was very impressed with what I saw, Ocho. But like I said, it seems like Barrios was expecting the left and he was protecting himself against the left. And you're right, the only time Ryan really threw the left was a check hook. Him. He wasn't trying to throw it with no power. It was just easy to check him. But every. I mean, every time he just stuck that jab out there and clubbed him with the overhand right, I'm like, damn, Barrios. Yeah, put an umbrella up or something. Damn. At some point in time, you gotta block it and not with your head.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, I mean, and it. It's so funny when you think about how simplified the 12 is and to be for the same thing, to work for 12 goddamn rounds for experienced fighter like Barrios to allow it to work for 12 rounds and making. Not making the necessary adjustments round by round and being able to adjust to it and find an answer or a counter to that. I mean, that, that, that, that. That tells a lot about Ryan Garcia. His hand speed, but also the power he possesses. Once he got in the fall down early, whatever game plan bios came into this fight with, it was out the window.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Yeah, I think that was the thing, Ocho. I don't think he expected Garcia to touch him like that early. Yeah, he definitely didn't expect to touch the mat. Expect to touch the mat that early. And it's easy to say, you know, what, do this, do that. But you felt this power within the first minute of the fight. Hey, he set you down. He's such a. Put you on your ass.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yes, sir.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

And so you like. Nah, I don't. I don't think. I don't think I want to go. I don't think I want to go back in there, you know, hey, I. I want the honey. Yeah, but there'll be those. Those bees are protecting it. And so he. He fought cautious. And like I said, I. And I agree with you. I thought Ryan Garcia. We came on, so I didn't really. Did he win? What was it one? Was it a Shut up? Was it a shutout?

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

I mean, I'm sure it was. I didn't see around that. I mean, yeah, I didn't see around that. Barrios, actually. I actually could have won.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

I don't. I don't either. I don't either. And I thought. I thought Ryan did a great job. We mentioned he landed more Power shots through the first eight rounds. He landed more shots than he did on Barrios in eight rounds than he did than he did in the entire fight against Rowley. He was, he was mentally, physically, emotionally, whatever thing you psychologically unprepared to fight. Rolling. And this fight, this was the Ryan Garcia that many expected. Like, this kid got talent.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

This kid were to take his craft serious. If you want to prepare, he can, he can go far. And the thing that I like about the Mocho, he don't duck. He, he's already following Haney. He fought Tank. He bought Rolly, he bought Barrios.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Oh, yeah, he ain't ducking. Nah, it's not. I, I would love to see him and him and him and Shakur fight. I think, I think having a, a boxer with the IQ that Shakur has who will be able to make the proper adjustments round by round, despite. You know, there's one thing that beats speed as fast as Ryan is with his hands, but it's one thing that beats speed, and that's timing. And having someone like Shakur, who is that his defensive prowess, you know, it speaks for itself. I think that would be, be a, be a great fight, you know, for, for Ryan and Shakur. I, I'm not sure if it will happen, you know, this soon, but that'd be a dope one.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Yeah. Scorecards 119 to 108, 120 to 107, 118 to 109. I'm trying to figure what round they gave him. Somebody gave him two rounds. I'm honest about you. I'm just a chat. Maybe, maybe, maybe my TV froze because it took me a while. It took me a while to get to Amazon prime. So I could watch this, I could watch the Zone. So maybe I missed something. I, I, I'm sure. I'm serious. Chat. Did y', all, did y' all see around in which Barrios won?

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

No.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Oh, maybe, maybe I had to go take a pee break something. Cause bad. That bad, that bad. Beat the Brooks that bad. Beat the brakes off Barrios. I like the middle judge. The middle judge had it because, I mean, the knock down the first round, that's a two point round right there, Ocho.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

So 120 to 107. I like that. I think that's how the scorecard should have lined up. But Ryan Garcia gave his father Henry, his WBC title after securing the win. Said, I'm dedicating this to my dad. He had Henry on his trunk, I think. Now, Ocho don't you get a chain, you get a better, you get a chain. Cause they was talking about, I saw something on social media about a chain.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

I'm not sure, I'm not sure. I mean, the chain, is that something new or.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Yeah, I guess, you know, people think, you know, guys got tired of paying the sanctioning fees for the belt. Like, you know, it's supposed to, some, some of the money go to the sanctioning body, which is wbc.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Right.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

It goes to retired fighters that, you know, that's falling on hard times. I, I don't know where, but now they got, they got a pendant. So I, I, I don't, I don't really know, but I just know Ryan Garcia looked really, really good tonight. I was impressed with the way he fought tonight. And like I said, when he came on, was that Wednesday night or show that, that he, that he was on?

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

I think it might, I think it might have been Wednesday.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

It was Wednesday. And, you know, he was excited about coming on and, hey, and, but just listening at him talk, yeah, he's had some hard times. He's been, you know, under there and he said, hey, he was drinking. I mean, he, he let it be known he had, he's, he also mentioned about some, some mental health issues that he was dealing with. He seems to have got those things rectified and got those behind him. He's taken his training serious. He said he had a great, a great camp, he's in great shape, and he was ready to fight. And, you know, he's like, hey, he's gonna make it look easy. And it looked easy. Yeah, yeah, it looked easy, Ocho.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

I mean, yeah, I mean, I, I, listen, I, like, again, it was kind of weird to me. I mean, Barrios is a former champion. I was expecting more from him.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Yeah, I was too, especially from him

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

with having as much ring experience as he's had, as he, as he's had, you know, throughout his career. I'm not sure why, why he looked the way he did, but obviously I'm not the one on the end of those punches that Ryan is throwing, so I, I, I can, I can understand, but I, I, I expected more, honestly.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Yeah, I, I, and I think the biggest thing is that he took it serious. I mean, how, how, how great do you want to be in a given sport? How great do you want to be in a, in a great given craft? Because if you want to be great, you take it serious. You don't do some of the things, some of the, the destructive behavior that he had going on and says, I want to be a champion. I want to be great. I want to be remembered in the sport. Well, the. What you were doing is saying that you don't want to be remembered and you want to have a very short career in your given sport, because that was the path that he was headed down. And I'm glad he was able. I'm glad with. With the help of family, friends, and loved ones, someone that was around him got in his ear and says, ryan, if you want to be great, what you're doing is not going to help you be great. And he was able to get back on the right track, and hopefully he stays on the right track because you. Like I said, Ocho. Yeah, there are some fights that I. I like to see him against Shakur also. This. This fight was at what, one. What, what? 149? 150. 151. What was this fight at?

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

146.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

So it's got to be 147.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

147, yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

147, yeah. Because he mentioned that he was a 149 and a half when they weighed in the other day, so. 140. 140. So he was only two and a half pounds. So that was nothing. He had to weigh in on. On Friday. So two pounds, that ain't nothing. But he looked good. He looked good. I was. I'm. I'm bare. I was very, very impressed with Ryan Garcia tonight.

[Ryan Garcia]

He.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

He showed us up Mocho, and we know he has this kind of ability.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

I mean. I mean, if you go back and look at it now, look, everybody says, what, the steroids and this or that. But he did a number on Haney. He did.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Now, Tank. Hey, Tank called him.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

But take his heart, take it heavy. There's a reason why they call the tape for real. I mean, you know, he might be the smallest Tank we've ever seen. You know, sometimes the. The smallest person, they get the name Tiny. Yeah, I mean, the biggest.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

I mean, you call Tiny list of tiny that man. 6, 3, 250.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

And that. That's. That's another. Another thing is. I mean, from the casual boxer, I'm not sure if you can see the mistakes that. That Ryan. Ryan is making with the lunging and the throwing the 1, 2, and then in lunging and he's off balance. I mean, the.

[Ryan Garcia]

The.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

The. The boxers, the pure boxers would take advantage of that. They take advantage. I don't even think people can see it. I can see it. Where he's off balance, but he's. He's trying to throw combinations, but he's not even. He's not even playing it, you know, a tank or. Or Shakur or some of those.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Yeah, they're pull counter. Shakur. Definitely a pull counter.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, he pulled count. They'll take advantage of some of the mistakes he was making tonight, but he was so fast, and. And Barrios was so gun shy and scared to throw, and he was able to get away with it.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Yes. And the thing is, you got to be careful with all that lunging and all that, because they'll. They'll time it up perfect.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Exactly.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

You know what? Pacquiao had a bad habit of that. He do this and coming in there. Marco Antonio Barrera.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yep.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

And the bell rang, the school bell rang, the church bell rang, and he still didn't get up. So you have to. You were. You fighting great fighters.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

You have to be careful. You really have to be on point. Oh, yeah.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

You got to.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Shakur is technically sound. He's a technically sound fighter, and you can't make the mistakes that you made against Barrios and expect to be Shakur. He'll make you pay for every mistake, every last one. It's like, oh, so, you know, the teachers, like, the subtle teachers, they let no mistake go. Like, damn, she done ran out of red ink on my paper. She had to get a whole new pen. She's circling everything. It should have been a comment. It was a period. It should have been an exclamation point of it, but damn. But congratulations. Ryan Garcia, the WBC Welterweight champion, as he beats Mario Barrios in convincing fashion. 119 to 108, 120 to 107, 118 to 109. And he is the WBC welterweight champ. But some. Some great guys that's held that belt. You go back to Sugar Ray and Tommy Hearns and. And. And. And. And Floyd. Bud.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Now he got it.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, that was dope. I'm excited. I'm excited. I just. I want to know who the next fight is. I mean, do you re. Do you rematch. Do you rematch Rollie. Ask to fight Rollie again? You know, I'm. I'm. I. I don't know. I'm curious. I'm curious. It's so many good fights that.

[Naheer Albright]

That.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

That.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

That can be made. I mean, what's next?

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

It wasn't Barrera. It was Juan Marquez. Juan Marquez that. That killed Pacquiao.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Pacquiao.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Yeah.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

When he laid him out. Yeah. Laid him out front because that was.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

It was a trilogy fight, wasn't it? I think it was a trilogy fight in which he got it. But he was winning. Pacquiao was winning. Yeah, Big guy was winning the fight and got. And got reckless and boom and ding bell, and he couldn't answer the bill.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

He caught on that, that rhythm. He caught on to his rhythm, that

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

bouncing, bouncing Sugar Shane was like that, if, you know the sugar Shade would always. Before he throw. Gary Antoine Russell defeated Andy Hieroka by unanimous decision. Russell retained his WBA junior welterweight title with a score of 117 to. 1101-161111-16111. Me personal, I thought it was a little closer than that.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Hey, I, I with that, that 10th, that 10th round, I thought it was going to be a draw, that tip. Because of that 10th round, I thought it was going to be a draw. Young bull Gary was fighting, you know, he was the aggressor the entire, the entire last round. I'm saying, Wait a minute, Come on, now. I mean, but listen, Gary. I don't think Gary was hurt at any point in the fight. He caught a body shot early in the fight, but he didn't show any signs that it actually hurt him. I mean, listen, it was a good fight. It was a good, A good look. Good, good, good little scrap. I wouldn't want to be a judge in this one, though. I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to be a judge in this one. But Gary did win the fight. I mean, happy, happy for him. It was good that that opponent, well, he wasn't easy at all.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

No, no, no.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

I don't even know how to pronounce his last name, but it wasn't easy at all. Yeah. Iroka. Okay. Yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

But I. The thing was, Ocho, I thought Russell got off to a great start.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Very good.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Because I thought the early rounds, I like the first two or three, four rounds, I thought, like, okay, man, it's gonna be easy work.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah. Cakewalk, huh? No.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Yeah.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

No, sir.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Old boy said, no, it ain't about to be. It ain't about to be. It ain't about to be that. It ain't about to be that easy for you, bro. They asked Russell after the fight, somebody, you want security, like, nah. You know, let me build up. Let that man to build up his reputation. Let me get by like, I want you, man. Let me hold on my belt a little while longer. What y' all trying to do? I just got the bill.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

And you trying to make me Turn it over to somebody else. No, but Shakur says he has, he has great respect. He said, I guess they sparred at some point in time. So he's very familiar with the, with the young man. But I thought the fight was closer than, I thought it was closer than 117 and 110 and 160 and 111. But hey, the judges saw it differently and that's, that's all that matters, Ocho is how they see it. And they saw it 117 to 110, 116 to 111, 116 to 111. In the post fight interview, Russell avoided calling out WBO champion Shakur Stevenson and took aim at WBC champion Dalton Smith and IBF title Richardson Hitchens, Ocho. I mean, hey, go ahead.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

No, go ahead, go ahead.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Look, I won't take to get his ish together. I won't take a Shakur to fight.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Oh, we, we got a while before that. You might, you might. Yeah, you might well let that one go. It's gonna be a while. I say maybe a year or two. Before.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Before.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Sitting around waiting on him to do one year or two.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah. But I'm, I'm just about to. Tank situation. It's not going to be this year. Definitely not going to be this year. So Maybe, maybe in 27. Maybe. But you know, Tank got to get his stuff situated on.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Yeah, he got to get his life in order, man. Yeah.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

But once, once he do and he come back, he's still, he's still. Even with the mishaps, you know, outside the ring, he might still be the face of boxing because everybody is still waiting for him to get back and be on point.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

But the problem is Ocho, even though he has those issues going on and he can be sparring if he's not incarcerated, and hopefully that doesn't happen. But we'll have to wait and see. Ocho, you gotta fight. Yeah, you gotta fight. Spar. And Ali was able to spar, but he wasn't fighting right. And he was never the same.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, it's not.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

After that three year hiatus, he wasn't. You take time off, it's hard to come back. Tyson was never the same fighter. Now, we understand that was a totally different set of circumstances. Ocho, you know, I mean, you could only do so much in there. I mean, he's like doing push ups. I mean, they wouldn't let him go to the gym. But in that sport or any sport, in order to be good at it,

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

you got to Stay active.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

You got to stay active.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, you got to stay active.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Think about it. It took Jordan time because when he came back, he was like, yeah, he had a game here, but he wasn't a Gillette. Damn. But then once he got time back. But just imagine two years as a, as a boxer.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

You got to be in the ring, Ocho.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

I know you got to. It don't matter how much sparring you do. Yeah, it don't matter how much, you know, fighting, actually fighting and having ring rust, you know, and you can spar all you want to, but actually fighting and being under them lights and is a different ball game. And Pu, though, you do have ring rust. So when he does come back, he gonna have to fight someone. That really ain't much of a challenge. You can, you can't put yourself in harm's way. So it has to be someone that, you know, you could beat just to get yourself back in rhythm, get yourself back, get a, Get a feel for being back in the ring again and get comfortable.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Running wind sprints is not the same thing as training camp. No, I don't give. Damn. I don't give a damn how many you run and how many you run. Hey, we running 14, 16 seconds and we taking 45 second break, right? Let them blow that damn whistle and go two minutes of no huddle and see how your ass huffing and puffing, man, please. Okay, okay. I don't care nothing about them weird sprints. I don't. I don't care about no 40 tests. I don't care nothing about no conditioning test. When they put them pads that helmet on your ass and. Okay, no huddle, okay, Two minute period.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

It's different.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

It damn sure is.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Completely different.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

And so I could understand a guy that. The inactivity in the ring, rust, because all of a sudden, I mean, to be able to see, you still see, but to be able to see those punches once you get in the ring and the guys that you sparring with, that's not Shakur Stevenson. That's not a Keyshawn Davis. That's not the top echelon. Echelon fighters. And like you said, Ocho, when he does come back, he's gonna have to fight somebody. Hey, basically tomato can.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't. Don't put yourself in no harms where you ain't got nothing to prove. Get to get yourself back in rhythm, get acclimated. Being in the ring, being under the lights, people, you know, the, the people that love boxing. They're gonna enjoy it. And when the timing is right, that's when you make that big fight. That's when you make that mega fight. You don't come back and just give and you will step in it right right away and put yourself in. I like, I like calling it harm's way, but you know, you don't make that fight.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Yeah, get a couple of easy ones under you.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know who I want to see next? Honestly, who I want to see Lamont, Roach and Shakur.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

That'd be a good fight.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Now listen, we talk about it. Talk about a chess match. Now that. That would be a phenomenal chess match that I would love to see.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

We're getting closer to seeing Logan Paul and Le'Veon Bello. Yesterday my million dollar open bet to fight an NFL player has caused an uproar. Here's an update. Nobody is willing to put a million dollars in escrow and be flown here to Puerto Rico. All expense paid in box with three professional judges. They all want to formalize this with with a streamer venue press conference. All that I get paid but not risk their own money. But I don't have time nor interest in that. I want to. I won't step away from WWE to coordinate and train for an event. But if any player wants to actually put up a million dollars in fight at my jail with official referees and judges, show yourselves. That includes you, Le'Veon Bale. And. Hey,

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

I like that. What you think it's gonna happen?

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Hey, Leon, I might be able to get. I. I come up with a quarter meal, but I want 500 in return.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

God damn. Are you.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Are you like, tell me the person that gamble that puts up 250 and they expect 250 back in return.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Hold on.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

What.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

What happened?

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Dad?

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

You. Are you Don King, boy.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Hey, you.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Hey, you Don King with it.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Lab said this is what Lab bro wants to spar. And that's fine, bro. We can spar if that's what you want to do. Let's practice and for sure a million dollar bet. But we run rounds until a person then quits. No need for your judges cameras on for sure. No need to hide from the public. Just want to see this logo responded. 10 eyes glove, no headgear. 3 minute rounds until someone quit. Next weekend, 1 million dollar bet money and escrow. No judges. You choose the referees down for boxing or mma, just let me know. Deal. We have a contract drawn up and sent.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

I like it.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Nah, we want to see this.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

So they don't want no cameras, huh?

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

I don't know. But my. My problem. I think Logan Paul's a phenomenal athlete. I think wrestling and stuff and what he and his brother has been able to do in the YouTube space and to be able to create content and made themselves wealthy beyond expectation. But you don't get credit for fighting somebody that doesn't fight. I mean. How much do you weigh? 175? 180. Go fight, Benavidez. Go fight. Better beer.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Come on.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

But you're not no fighter, Ocho. I don't get Ocho. I don't get credit in my prime for catching on a guy that doesn't play db, Right, Right. What credit does I get for that? So if you say you're a fighter or you want to fight, you need to fight somebody that fight.

[Ryan Garcia]

You know what?

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Le'Veon has a background in boxing, so that. Yes, that would be. That would be a decent fight for both of them.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Them.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

You know, I agree. Both are skilled. Both are taking. Taking the craft of. Of getting is taking it seriously. Yeah, taking it serious. But the.

[Ryan Garcia]

The.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

The better beat. Better damn.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Better beer.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah. Oh, man. They.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

They kill them what? What NFL player making 10, 15, 20 million dollars? They're not boxing in their spare time like that.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

No.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

And it's too much for them to risk.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, they would. And you know, honestly, no matter who it is, is what, 1500 players in the NFL. Yeah, they probably. I doubt they make it past two minutes, round one. Oh, for sure, I doubt. I don't care how. I don't care how.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

They don't know how to breathe. They don't get in there and try to bounce because they see everybody else bouncing back and forth and all you do is burning energy.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

It's completely different. Completely different. And you don't. You don't train for that

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

fight, bud.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Not.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

No, you don't want to see him fight, Bud.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

No. That's not fair. That's unfair.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

I think. I think he thought that, you know, because of what he did with Floyd. I don't know how serious Floyd took it or anything like that, but, I mean, hey, I watch it. I watch Le'Veon and Logan Paul fight.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, I like it. I like it.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

So. I don't know. But I. I think the thing is, he got hurt because Tom Brady called him out.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

His name?

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

No, he said he was cute. He said, you know, you do this cute. Because he said he wwe, he was a outstanding athlete, things of that nature.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Right?

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

And you know, Tom, man, look, sometimes Tom. Forget that he. Tom Brady, he artist Truth.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

The truth coming from him is sting a little bit now.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Yeah, for sure. Because he's like, oh, that's cute. He said, but you're not. No, you're not. No, not. Not an athlete. But I think, you know, in the wwe, I mean, you watch him, the way he moves.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Oh, yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Oh, he could easily be a full time wwe. Absolutely. He absolutely could. He's phenomenal in there. And like I said, he and his brothers carved out a nice niche and they. They. Are you talking about next weekend? I don't know. Hey, hey, L. Bell, let us know you gonna make this happen, man. Call in the nightcap. We want to see what's real, what's. What's Cracker lacking and see what's going on. Hell, me and Ocho might come down there. We might come down there and do nightcap live from Puerto Rico.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

I. I just want you. I just want you to see my country, man. That's all.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Far from the prying eyes,

[Naheer Albright]

Please.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Oh, we got a special guest joining us. Knife. Time to welcome Naheer Albright. He had a great 10 round bout with Frank Martin that ended on the draw. Did you thought. Did you think you had done enough to. Well, first of all, thanks for joining us. We really appreciate that. Did you think you did enough to get the win to eke out a narrow victory?

[Naheer Albright]

Yeah, I did. I felt like I definitely pulled it out by like a round or two. I mean, I knew it was a close fight. So you know what I'm saying? Like when they announced it, I was like, all right, I can't be too mad, but I felt like I. I felt like I won.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

You bucket him early though. You, you, you. You called him early. I thought I was like, damn, he might get old boy up out of here.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah. Hey, obviously, I'm sure you watched the fight by now and looking at some of the things you could have done and not allowing it to go to the judges scorecard, I'm sure there will be a rematch. I'm not sure if you guys have talked about it. What things do you do based on what you've seen, watching what you did in the past fight, do you think you need to do in the next one if one comes about that where it doesn't have to end up in the judges judge's scorecard or actually in the judge's hands where it won't be a draw and it goes in your favor?

[Naheer Albright]

Yeah, I feel Like, I started kind of slow. I feel like, you know, if I put pressure on them earlier, I'm saying I could. I could have definitely got the knockout.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Let me ask you a question. What was going on with the mouthpiece? Because I felt that you would give him an opportunity with the mouthpiece. You stopped the fight and getting him a chance to break. I was like, man, bite down on the mouthpiece and keep the pressure on him.

[Naheer Albright]

I know. Yeah. So, like, I had, like, a cheap mouthpiece because, like, my. My. I had, like, a Walmart mouthpiece.

[Ryan Garcia]

I had boys.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

I was gonna say, you went to Dixie, got a mouthpiece, bro.

[Naheer Albright]

It's a.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

It was a.

[Naheer Albright]

It was a Walmart mouthpiece, and it was last minute. My. My other mouthpiece, I had lost it. So I heard up and grabbed the mouthpiece, boyed it down, and I was like, all right, I'm gonna feel me go fight. And then, yeah, Tim Brown came out. I'm like, damn. You know what I'm saying?

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

What happened to it? Don't y' all have custom mouthpieces at least? I mean, you get a custom mouthpiece for a couple. For a little or nothing there. You get a couple of mile pieces for like 250, 300.

[Naheer Albright]

I know, yeah. Yeah, for sure. Definitely in the future fights, I'm gonna have.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah. Also, I have a question. At your guys level. I. Obviously, the elite level, when you think about your game plan, going to the fight and saying, well, maybe if I did this, say, let's say. You want to say, you know what? Maybe if I press him a little bit more, doesn't that put yourself at risk, you know, being able to take chances like that, pressing the fighter, knowing that he can. He can exchange and punch through punches. Do you ever think about stuff like that? And you. Where you started off slowly, a little bit more cautious because you're not tired yet. Everyone is fresh now.

[Naheer Albright]

You're right. Like, you know, you definitely gotta be strategic and things like that. But it was a lot of openings. Like, when I went back and watched it, it was a lot of openings that I saw, you know, that I could have exploited. And so that I'm saying, in that aspect, I could have still started early because I saw, like, certain openings that I could have did. You know what I'm saying?

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

I don't think you ever felt. I don't really felt that you felt like. Like, oh, but he got power. I can't come in here. I mean, you walked in the front door. It wasn't like he hit you with Anything that. That really got your attention?

[Naheer Albright]

Nah, he caught me with one good shot. Probably like, I think it was round five, it was like, towards the end. Yeah, he caught me with a good shot. Feel me? It buzzed me a little bit, but I. I didn't mind that. I'm like, this is my opportunity. So, look, he gonna have to do more than buzz me, and I'm gonna keep coming all night. Like, that's my opportunity. So, hey, it's gonna be what it's gonna be like. That's my mindset.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Right? So I. I'm not sure. I don't know if you can tell us, but obviously, superb, superior fight. Great performance from you. And with you having a performance like that, I think you should be able to get the fights you want to, especially depending on who you want to call out or who you want to fight. Is there anybody in mind if you don't get a rematch right now with Frank? Is there anybody you'd like to fight next?

[Naheer Albright]

Yeah, to be honest, I want a world title shot. Like, feel me. Richardson, Hitchens, Shakur, Stevenson, anybody like Gary Russell, like, all the champions. That's in my weight, right? I'm saying I'm trying. Yeah, I'm trying to fight him. I'm ready right now.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

As Ocho mentioned, you said, okay, you. Those are the guys that you want, so you want those guys. Are you willing to buy. So are you looking to bypass the rematch? I don't know if there's a rematch clause or anything. I don't know if they're clamoring for it. But you say, I want a title fight, so are you looking past a potential rematch in order to move forward?

[Naheer Albright]

I mean, if the. If the rematch is there, we could run it back because the fans. The fans want to see that. Like, you know me. And I'm saying. I'm trying to. I'm saying entertain the fans and things like that. So I'm gonna get the fans what they want. Feel me, man? Frank could run it back, but if that's not there. Yeah, I would love to fight for a title or, like I said, a title eliminator.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

How much time you take off, take off from the gym before you get back in there? Obviously, you want to give your body a chance to recover, you know, for whatever. Now, I'm not saying you're injured, but obviously after a football game, you sore, you know, you're banged up. And so when it comes to boxing, after a fight like that, 10 rounds, how much time do you get yourself off to relax, take a Vacation before you get back in the groove of things.

[Naheer Albright]

Yeah, I just take off a week and that.

[Podcast Host - Advertiser]

That's it.

[Naheer Albright]

Yeah. But, like, when I come back, though, I'm not, like, going crazy hard.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

I'm still okay.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Okay, okay.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Okay.

[Naheer Albright]

Yeah. I'm going through the motions, stuff like that. But I take off a week where I'm like, I go get a massage, I'm soaking, you know what I'm saying? Resting, spending time with my daughter, things like that.

[Ryan Garcia]

Okay.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

That's how.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

So are you after a fight? I mean, obviously, I mean, you're somewhat sore. You don't got punched in your face. You got punched in the arm, you got punched in the chest. So if the sword is. Are you more sore after the fight or say, maybe the next couple of days?

[Naheer Albright]

Nah, it take, like, two days to hit you. Like, the first night. First night, you feel it a little bit. You feel me a little, too. But two days later, you feel like a car hit you, bro. I promise you like, you like, dang, I thought I was good, like, but nah, it sneak up on you, like, definitely, like, two days later, right? Yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

You. You familiar with the Davis brother? Do you see yourself in a situation fighting Keshan again?

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

No.

[Naheer Albright]

Yeah, I've been told, Kean, let's run it again. Like, I've been told Keon, let's get it popping. But I don't know. I guess his team, like, I don't. It seemed like his team telling him not to fight me or something like that. I think he want to fight me too, but his team, like, nah, just stop mentioning his name or something.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Hey, it. You know what?

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

We.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

We always talk about it. Uncle and I, we always talk about it. Obviously. Me being a boxing enthusiast, do you think there are too many people in the way where fans want to see certain fights and boxers actually want to make those fights happen, but they have too many people that in the way of great fights actually happening.

[Naheer Albright]

Oh, yeah.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

It seems like the team is in the way of the fans getting the fights that we want to actually see.

[Naheer Albright]

Yeah, absolutely. It's a lot of, like, business that goes into the boxing world, and it definitely do, like, block mega fights and

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

stuff like that, right?

[Naheer Albright]

Yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

You notice. If you notice, Ocho, I don't know if you. And you let me know what you think about this. Everybody talks about how they want to fight everybody. I fight everybody. Everybody. Until they get the belt, and then they want to pick and choose who they fight. They don't want to fight everybody no more. Everybody says that because it sounds Good. Yeah. I fight anybody. Whoever's at 140, who's at 145, 130, 135. I fight anybody the moment they get a belt. No, I'm good.

[Naheer Albright]

Right.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

But. But now, here, Mr. Albright, isn't it. Doesn't it become a business at that point? Once you do get a belt, whoever you do fight has to make sense from a business perspective and being able to maximize as much as you could, you can make. Because it's called prize fighting for a reason.

[Ryan Garcia]

Yeah.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

And once you get that belt, you're able to command a little bit more than normal, huh?

[Naheer Albright]

Nah. Yeah, that's true. Like, you will want to make the mega fights instead of, like, fights that it's not gonna bring in as much money.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Right.

[Naheer Albright]

But I'm saying, I feel like you gotta. It's like you gotta have. You gotta have it in you also to build a legacy, give the fans what they want to see, too. Like, you know what I'm saying? And I feel like when you fall in love with the sport like, that, that's gonna bring the biggest money, you know what I'm saying? When you really. When you take shortcuts and, like, just try to chase the money, I feel like that's just. It's going, like, block your blessings for real. But.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Right.

[Naheer Albright]

Yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

With that, Andre Warren said, my legacy is what I'd leave for my family. That's my legacy.

[Naheer Albright]

Right.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

But here's the thing, Ocho. You know how business work. Yeah. You don't get to people what they want, soon enough, you'll be out of business. People want to see people. People want to see fights. And if the fights at one, if the fights with you and Keyshawn or the fights with you and Shakur, or the fights with you, hey, fight. Hey, let's. Let's get it on. And because like you said, Ocho, it's what people want to see. They're gonna watch it, and people will pay, for sure.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Most definitely. Who are your inspirations? Growing up, I'm sure you've been boxing for a very long time. Obviously, watching your performance, you were sharp as hell. You able to fight on the inside, sitting in the pocket. You were able to fight at distance. So you have to have some inspirations that you look at, that you study to be able to perfect your craft and stealing bits and pieces from them and add them to your game.

[Naheer Albright]

Yeah, for sure. I like Sugar with Leonard. I like sugar. I like all the sugars. Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Shake, mostly Like, like film me. They all got that. That explosiveness to the smoothness.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah.

[Naheer Albright]

So, yeah, I like. Yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Well, I'm sure you've heard the news by now. We're not breaking news to you, but in September, I think September 16th, Floyd Mayweather will take on Pacquiao. Pack Pacquiao too early Prediction. What you think of how this thing gonna play out? Both of they're pretty much past their prime. Is what, 48, 49 years of age, two guys. It's on Netflix. It's gonna be, you know, what you thinking?

[Naheer Albright]

I'm thinking I think Floyd gonna do what Floyd do. I think Floyd gonna leave off right where he left. I think he gonna pick Manny apart. That's my prediction. I think Floyd is a master crack. Like he. A master at his craft, and he gonna pick up right where he left, left off.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Look, a lot of people said, man, I don't want to see that. I want to see Shakur and, And. And Keyshawn. I want to see Shakur and, and. And Tank or. I want to, you know, I want to see his fight like that. Why we got to get guys. We got guys in their 20s that we should be, that got bells that we should. We shouldn't have to wait for guys that's in all damn near 50 years old about to get an ARP car to fight because you said you'll fight. Hey, hey, the man said you said you'll fight. Yeah, yeah.

[Naheer Albright]

Like, give me a title shot now. I need a title shot now, feel me?

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Are you trying to fight it? Are you. So when are you looking. When are you. Okay, you just fought last week. So when are you looking to fight again?

[Naheer Albright]

I think I'm. I'm actually scheduled to fight May 16 on RDR Promotions card. That's my current promoter already, our promotions. So it's going to be in Newark at the Provenance Center.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

So I don't have.

[Naheer Albright]

I don't have an opponent right now, but they're looking for somebody.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Obviously, if you come off a fight against Frank Martin like that, when you fight again, you know, and you said in May.

[Naheer Albright]

Yeah, May 16th.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Would a fight like that be a tune up for a bigger fight? Maybe before the end of the year.

[Podcast Host - Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Do you pick someone of the same caliber as. As like a Frank Martin?

[Naheer Albright]

Nah, it's gonna. I think it's gonna be more so of like a tune up to stay sharp. Yeah, yeah. Just waiting on either, like I said, world title or. Or Frank Martin again. I'm saying my prediction is I think me and Frank Martin gonna end up on the Floyd versus Pacquiao card. Look, I'm. Yeah, 20, 26. I'm putting in the air, me and Frank Martin gonna be on Netflix fighting on the undercard of Floyd and Pacquiao.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

I like that. Hey, can you imagine in Vegas, huh? Mr. Albright. Frank Martin. Albright, too, at the. At the Las Vegas. Spear. Spear. How you say it?

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Spear.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, yeah, I forgot to put up.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

How many times have you fought three times in a year? Because if you fight, you say you got a potential tune up May 16, and then again, you'll flip it around and do it again on September 16th. Yeah, that'll be your third fight. How many times? And say, the last three, four years, have you fought three times in a year?

[Naheer Albright]

All right, you got. Look, you got me there. It been a couple years since I fought, like, feel me consistently like that. But I feel like the more you active is, the sharper you're gonna be, though. So, like, that's working in my favor. Like, so. Yeah, it's never a bad thing.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

But you remember the guys that you mentioned, guys used to fight back in the 70s, 60s, 70s guys used to fight three, four, five times in a year.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah.

[Ryan Garcia]

Yeah.

[Naheer Albright]

It's the fight, like, every other month. For real. Yeah.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

But I think the thing is now there is that the payday is so big because you weren't making the money like you guys make now. And so you. Now you can fight once or twice and get the money that they were getting, and they'd have to fight six, seven times to make the money that you guys are making fighting once or twice. So I get it if I don't have to take that unnecessary risk by fighting multiple times, three, four times in a year, because that's Floyd. Floyd normally fights Cinco de Mayo, and then he fights in the fall.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

That's it.

[Naheer Albright]

Yeah.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, I like it. What you train at? What. What. What stage you in?

[Naheer Albright]

I'm in Jersey.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

[Naheer Albright]

Oh, yeah, for sure, bro. You trying to spar?

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Yeah, I mean, I mean, if that's what you want. I only use my jab hand, though.

[Naheer Albright]

All right.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

Hey, hey, hey. Don't. I mean, don't. Don't do it too bad. Just hit him in the body. Don't, Don't. Don't mess this up. Don't just hit him in the body. Don't. I mean, and take a little Something off it.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

No, no, no, no.

[Interviewer - Boxing Commentator]

You ain't got to put that Barbie. Don't put that barbecue. So don't put that. That. That barbecue sauce that sweet and sour on it.

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Hey, it's good. It's good. I like chicken nuggets.

[Ryan Garcia]

Huh?

[Co-Host - Boxing Analyst (Ocho)]

Whatever he bring, it's gonna get blocked.

[Naheer Albright]

Okay.
