Overview

This week's episode of The W.A.D.E. Concept, as featured on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, dives into the rapidly evolving and increasingly unpredictable world of combat sports. The focus is threefold:

• The future for Darren Till after his emphatic knockout win at Misfits 22, and the recurring speculation about a showdown with Jake Paul.
• The explosive fallout from the Rampage Jackson/Raja Jackson/Psycho Stu wrestling incident, unpacking Rampage’s public responses and accountability issues.
• A preview and discussion of two of boxing's biggest stories: Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford and the just-announced Mike Tyson vs. Floyd Mayweather exhibition.

Wade brings an irreverent, plugged-in, and brutally honest tone, dissecting characters and storylines with both humor and deep boxing knowledge.

Key Discussion Points

Darren Till vs. Jake Paul: Why It Won’t Happen (Timeline: [02:04]–[17:50])

• Recap of Misfits 22: Darren Till brutally knocks out Luke Rockhold. The buzz is immediate—what’s next for Till?
• Rumors Swirl: Jake Paul’s name emerges during post-fight discussions, but Wade is adamant: "Jake Paul is not fighting Darren Till. He won't fight Darren Till. And there’s multiple reasons why." ([04:02])

Reasons Jake Paul vs. Darren Till Isn’t Happening

1. Jake’s Schedule Is Packed
   • Paul is confirmed for Gervonta "Tank" Davis next and potentially discussing Anthony Joshua for early 2026.
   • "Jake puts on some of the biggest events in the world." ([06:23])
2. Promotional Politics
   • Serious friction exists between Most Valuable Promotions (Jake) and Misfits Boxing (Till).
   • "Nikisa and Mams...don’t coexist well when it comes to fight negotiation. Otherwise we probably would have had Jake Paul KSI three years ago." ([07:50])
3. Little Mutual Incentive
   • Both men have other high-reward options. Till must beat bigger names to force Jake’s interest.
4. High Risk, Low Reward
   • "Darren Till is a lot more dangerous, a lot more risk than reward. ...That doesn’t mean Darren Till can’t beat him." ([09:47])
   • Even so, Wade personally favors Jake Paul but acknowledges Till's danger: "Darren Till has enough power to hurt and potentially stop Jake Paul." ([13:47])
5. Brand Risk for Jake Paul
   • "You are playing a bit of Russian roulette every time a Jake Paul...steps into a boxing ring. Because one fight could end it all." ([11:10])

The Verdict

“Is [Till vs. Paul] a massive fight on the level of Gervonta Davis, Anthony Joshua, Tommy Fury rematch, even a Carl Froch fight for Jake? No, it’s not. ... They’re not in the same kind of stratosphere right now.” — YouTuber/Host, [13:09]

---

Darren Till’s Realistic Next Steps (Timeline: [17:50]–[23:45])

Top Names on the Table

1. Carl Froch

   • Wade campaigns for this matchup: “The fight that you need for Darren Till right now is Carl Froch. Yes, the Cobra.” ([17:57])
   • Froch’s own words (from a ringside reaction video):

     “Darren Till is absolutely useless... Even at 48 years old, retired 11 years, it’s a mismatch.” — Carl Froch, [15:11]

   • Yet, Froch’s actions and “cheeky” comments suggest he’s open to the payday and spectacle.

2. Tommy Fury

   • Regarded as the most likely, “if they can figure that out.”
   • “I think that would be a great fight. ... That’s probably the most likely option if they can figure that out.” ([21:53])

3. Others:

   • Jorge Masvidal, Tyron Woodley: fun but lesser in urgency.
   • Tommy Fury, again, seen as the most "doable" if prior negotiations can be salvaged.
   • Carl Froch is Wade’s first pick ("best option for Darren Till right now").

Big Picture

“In conclusion... Darren Till has options. But when you go deeper into it, the options at the top of the list aren’t likely to happen.” — YouTuber/Host, [22:45]

---

The Rampage Jackson / Raja Jackson / Psycho Stu Drama (Timeline: [23:45]–[45:02])

Background

• A wrestling event turns ugly when Raja (Rampage's son) violently assaults "Psycho Stu" after being struck with a beer can (intended as a wrestling "work").
• Rampage Jackson's aggressive and defensive public response, including social media rants, is the latest twist.

Host’s Analysis

• Strong condemnation of both the act and the attempts at justification.
  • “[Rampage] is fueling this fire by continuing to act negligent as to what happened here and doing a lot of the finger point, oh, my son was, was concussed from sparring...” ([33:12])
• Blames pro wrestling promoters (“a bunch of indie wrestling morons”), but squarely places final accountability with Raja and Rampage.
• Criticism of Rampage’s public handling:

  “...the more Rampage addresses it and the way he is can’t be a good thing. ... Not a good look. And it’s only going to continue making the Raja Jackson assault worse.” — YouTuber/Host, [45:02]

• Notable quote from Rampage’s Instagram:

  “My son should face the consequences for going too far. And you knows better.” — Rampage Jackson, [41:53]

  • But immediately follows with threats:

    “If I was there, I would have kicked the shit out of everybody...” — Rampage Jackson, [41:53]

Memorable Moment

• Wade’s dismay:

  “You’re digging yourself deeper and deeper by being like, yeah, DM me now. Okay, for what?” — YouTuber/Host, [40:46]

Summary

• Wade is blunt: There’s a lack of accountability, and Rampage’s online antics (including threatening defamation lawsuits and engaging trolls) highlight the dysfunction.

Boxing Talk Round-Up

1. Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford (Featuring Interview Segments) ([46:29]–[66:36])

• Build-Up: Both fighters see this as a career-defining event.

  “I think it’s gonna be the biggest fighting in the history of boxing because everybody’s gonna watch it.” — Canelo, [48:06]

• Canelo’s Perspective: Dismisses critics, remains unfazed:

  “I don’t know, but I don’t give a fuck, dude. So.” — Canelo, [48:30]

• Bud’s Challenge: Moving up in weight, enemy territory (Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas), fighting Canelo’s fight on Canelo’s terms.
• Style Narrative: Wade argues activity and size could be Canelo’s edge, but also credits Crawford’s skill, anticipation, and serious physique transformation.

  “He [Crawford] ain’t just put on some weight... It looks like a tailor made program for him to keep his speed and potentially stay as light as possible, as lean as possible...” ([74:43])

• Discussion of Canelo’s "Stinker" Against William Skoll:
  Host wonders if Canelo’s recent inactivity and tough-looking fights might be a factor.
• Canelo’s Advantages: Activity, experience at higher weights, the crowd.
• “Weight Classes Exist for a Reason” – But This Is Special:
  All experts agree, IF anyone can defy boxing physics, it’s Crawford.

2. Mike Tyson vs. Floyd Mayweather Exhibition Announced (Spring 2026) ([66:36]–[74:36])

• Details: Both have signed; waiting on date and venue.
• Host’s Reaction:

  “Either everybody in the world is going to want to watch this or 10,000 people will watch it. I don’t really know another way to describe it...” ([68:07])

• Why? Pure money and spectacle, little athletic value.
• Potential Risk:

  "It's a crime to put Mike back in a boxing ring after what that fight turned out to be. ... This is why boxing feels like Antiques Roadshow." ([69:00])

• Floyd’s Words:

  "If I'm gonna do something, it's gonna be big and it's gonna be legendary." — Mayweather ([72:07])

• Tyson’s Words:

  “Boxing has entered a new era of the unpredictable and this fight is as unpredictable as it gets.” — Mike Tyson ([71:50])

• Conclusion:
  Host expects “a major letdown” and theatrical money-grab, not competitive history.

Notable Quotes & Moments

• On Darren Till’s performance (and future):

  “Darren Till was all up in that shit. … Jake Paul is not fighting Darren Till … It doesn't tickle the fancy of what Jake’s trying to do.” ([02:04–13:09])

• On Carl Froch’s confidence:

  “Darren Till is absolutely useless. … At 48 years old, retired 11 years, it’s a mismatch.” — Carl Froch ([15:11])

Final Thoughts

Wade’s “Week in Review” provides a comprehensive, unfiltered look at a combat sports scene in flux:

• Darren Till faces a complicated future as a crossover star, with a Jake Paul bout unlikely—his best bets are Carl Froch or Tommy Fury.
• Rampage Jackson’s public mishandling of his son's assault highlights broader accountability and toxicity issues in both MMA and offshoot “crossover” scenes.
• Boxing’s future, for better or worse, is increasingly about spectacle (Mike Tyson vs. Floyd Mayweather), but fights like Canelo vs. Crawford still promise sporting greatness and intrigue.

Wade leaves listeners with trademark candor:

“This picture [of Crawford’s physique], tells me that we got a 50/50 fight on our hands. … As much as I want to talk about weight classes, Terence Crawford may have the exact same thing Canelo had, which is a skill and ability so good that he can defy the odds.” ([79:15])

[YouTuber/Host]

On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, so we are back on the way concept presented by the Ring magazine. That's right. We're back. Not only on the channel, but we're back home finally for the first time in a month. Listen, I had a blast on the road. Had a blast in Florida, had a blast in North Carolina, had a blast in my return to Misfits. And it really was that it felt good to be back on Misfits. I hope that's something I can continue doing. Spoke to Mams after the event. He said I'm welcome back whenever. We'll see when that lines up. I'm definitely down to do another misfits and to be there more continually. But today I want to talk about the main event of Misfits 22 and its winner. More specifically, Darren Till, who just left Luke Rockhold in snooze land. I know they went out for drinks and had a nice time after, but Darren Till put a left hand through Luke Rockhold's jaw so fast and so many times. It was like Luke registered for a dentist and needed a couple of checkups. Darren Tan was all up in that shit. Now the question is, what does Darren Till do next? And the one name that kept being brought up that I think in another world could happen, but absolutely won't happen, is Jake Paul. Jake Paul is not fighting Darren Till. He won't fight Darren Till. And there's multiple reasons why. Outside of the Gervonta Tank Davis fight that's coming up in November, we're going to talk about that fight as it gets closer. But today I want to tell you why Jake Paul will not fight Darren Till. Absolutely not. Here's why. The breakdown. Let's go. But before we talk about that, let's talk about how I keep myself in peak condition. And by peak, I mean going 12 minutes on the Versa climber. It's due to the sponsor of today's video and the channel itself. First form, guys. What I like the most about first form is a couple things. Number one, they genuinely invest in their products and trying to change people's lives. Not about the supplement, it's about what it can do for you. And to me that matters. It's a big deal. I've talked to you guys about a ton of the different products I use. Right now I'm slurping down their First Form Energy Blue Raspberry, of course, always. And earlier today, when I was getting my tail handed to me by my Versaclimber in my garage, I reached for the formula 1 protein powder whey isolate Rapid digesting Post workout recovery because it helps my muscle repair and soreness without having any digestive issues. And I'm trying to train hard, guys, not because I have a fight or anything like that, but just because I want to be in good shape. I want to put myself in peak condition and first form helps me do that because you can train as hard as you want. But if your post workout recovery sucks, your progress is always going to be a little limited. So to stay away from all the constant fatigue and just days of days and days of soreness, I use the Formula one from First Phorm. They have so many other different Products, they're level one bars, which I eat when I can't get to a meal as a meal replacement. They're multivitamins, their Optigreens 50 and even First Phorm collagen to help your joints and skin. And guys, when you click the link in the description, you can order this stuff and try it for 30 days. And if you're not satisfied, FirstForm will take the product back and give you a refund of up to 110% of what you spent. You heard me correctly, try it for 30 days. If you don't like it, which you will, you'll love it. But if you don't, First form is going to refund you 110% of what you spent. And when you spend $100 or more, I'm going to throw in a little free shipping. Make sure you click the link in the description. Thank you to First Forum for sponsoring this video. And now let's get back into the breakdown. All right, so like I said, Darren Till, Jake Paul, this question was postulated to myself, Tony Bellew, Mams Taylor, Nightmare kthi, or should I say kfi. All of us on stage after the night was done and Darren Till had fed sleeping pills in the form of a left hand to Luke Rockhold. After Tony Ferguson, it shocked pretty much all of us. I mean, let's be honest, you did not think Tony Ferguson was going to beat Salt Poppy. And if you say you did, fair play, but I still think you're lying. After all that was done, the question was asked, who should Darren Till fight next? And I actually answered with what I thought at the moment, which was Carl Frotch. We're going to get to him in a second. That fight I need. I need Darren Till, Carl fr, but KSI, I'm pretty sure, or Mams Taylor. One brought up Jake Paul. And folks, I'm going to tell you that fight's not going to happen anytime soon or potentially ever. And it's for multiple reasons. Number one of which, yes, Jake Paul has Gervonta Tank Davis, or as Tony Bellew called him on stage, Mini Tank. Obviously, that's the next fight. Tank foregoing defending his world championship and being an active world champion to fight Jake Paul in an exhibition that we still don't know much about. But what we do know is if it makes dollars, it makes sense. And that fight is going to make millions and millions of dollars for both guys. And again, as far as big events go, Jake puts on some of the biggest in the world. Speaking of big Events. Make sure you guys watch Canelo vs Crawford September 13th live on Netflix. Your boy's got to be there and flying out next week. And I'm going to be covering this fight from all angles, son. Content going crazy starting next week anyway. We know that that's what's next for Jake. I'm hearing talks still between Nikisa Vedarian and Eddie Hearn. Despite what people think, I still do believe there's a potential that Jake Paul fights Anthony Joshua in the early part of 2026. And then as far as what happens next for Jake, I truly don't know. But that right there is the first part of this Jake's schedule. It doesn't look like it's going to even be plausible that Jake and Darren could line up at any scheduled time for a meeting of the fists between the squared circles ropes. That's not going to happen anytime soon. Number two, there's still a bit of an issue between MVP and Misfits when it comes to making fights. I think everybody knows this and most likely that would have to be the two people doing the matchup, right? You could have Wasserman involved, but we know that Nikisa and Mams, they don't coexist well when it comes to fight negotiation. Otherwise we probably would have had Jake Paul KSI three years ago. So add on as a number two point that we have a bit of a negotiating issue between MVP and misfit. Number three, there's no real need for either person to do it because Jake has options. I think Darren has options that we're going to get into because it's more of a Darren Hill video than it is a Jake Paul video. But still, I think Darren has a lot of options outside of Jake and I think he may need those options if he ever wants to actually fight Jake. Like if there's ever a time where it could potentially happen, he would need to beat the options that I'm going to lay out in a second. But Jake obviously doesn't need to fight Darren till he doesn't need to fight KSI. He is making millions upon millions of dollars doing these exhibitions with Mike Tyson, Gervonta Davis, potentially a pro fight versus Anthony Joshua, maybe a rematch with Tommy Fury. I don't know what else, but it's clear that Jake has already gone to a crazy level when it comes to options in the boxing ring. Jake has a lot of options, some of which are the same as Darren Till. I think Jake has a bit more cachet, so he'd probably get more People should he want to fight Carl Frach or a Tommy Fury or somebody like that, he'd probably be the first option. Darren would probably be the second because of the money that would be involved. Number four, I guess, if we're listing them now, I think that Darren Till is a lot more dangerous, a lot more risk than reward. And yes, that does mean I'm saying Darren Till could be a dangerous fight for Jake Paul. Not because I'm going to put out there that I think Darren would beat Jake right now, because I don't think that. So go ahead and type it through the comments. I know your fingers were itching to get on that D key and that R key. And you know what two words I'm talking about. I'm just saying let's think logically about where we're sitting at the moment. Jake Paul has beaten a ton of MMA fighters that maybe don't have the skill of Darren Till. And I'm not saying that Mike Perry has the Darren Till skill. That's not what I mean when I say in Tyron Woodley in boxing has Darren Till skill. Because, yes, Tyron Woodley in MMA did drop Darren Till with the right hand and ended up Darce choking him and beating him in an MMA fight. Completely different thing. We know this. I've gone over it many times. But the experience that Jake's had in the ring, the training camps for it, the years and years in boxing now does, in my opinion, give him a leg up on Darren Till. Right now. I know people are saying, oh, Darren's going to destroy him. Darren's going to kill him. Yeah, okay. Darren Till has had a fantastic run in misfits right now, But Jake Paul, listen, I love my boy Anthony Taylor, but if the rumors I've heard for years are true, Jake Paul was taking Anthony Taylor to school in sparring three years ago. That's what I was hearing. And Darren Till had a great showing versus Anthony Taylor. But that's not something that really convinces me. And Darren Stewart, tough guy Darren Till beat him up. But toughness let Darren Stewart get back into that fight. And Luke Rockhold, while, yes, a tough guy guy, very, very tough to take some of the shots he took and get back to his feet. And a big guy and a strong guy, which does lend you to some sort of ability to say, okay, Darren Till can knock guys out bigger than him. Let's be honest about the fact that Luke Rockhold, even before he got in there with Darren Till, had been chinned many times in mma. And you know, bare knuckle as well. And by the time he gets a Darren Till not going to play the whole 40 year old game because that's not fair. Jake's done that in his boxing career, but he hit the floor a good amount of times and his skill was not on par in the sport of boxing for Darren Till even let alone trying to compare that with Jake. So I'm saying that to say, yeah, of course I would, I would favor Jake Paul in that fight. But that doesn't mean Darren Till can't beat him. That doesn't mean Darren Till is not dangerous for him. Because what you're doing right now, and this is what we've always done with, you know, the influencer and crossover side is you are playing a bit of Russian roulette every time a Jake Paul, a KSI, a Logan Paul, even now a Tommy Fury steps into a boxing ring. Because one fight could end it all. One fight could absolutely destroy, drawing power, attention, everything, a company potentially. Like if Jake Paul were to get knocked out by Gervonta Tank Davis, it is over for any talks of Anthony Joshua or being world champion or legitimizing himself in the sport of boxing. You can't. He's 135 pounder. I know he's one of the best in the world. But you're £200 or 195 on fight night and you've been boxing for. If he goes in and gets knocked out by Gervonta Davis, you have to fight like a KSI at that point, you know what I'm saying? If KSI were to go in versus like one of the misfits guys and get dropped or get hurt, you know, and, or lose, pretty much it for him, you know what I'm saying? Like the point is Darren Till for Jake Paul presents that risk. I absolutely think Darren Till has enough power to hurt and potentially stop Jake Paul. I absolutely think that. And I think if you were to schedule that fight, seeing how seriously Darren Till is taking this, seeing his natural skill for boxing, which I think we all knew he had, there is an imminent danger there that doesn't represent the amount of risk Jake is taking or the reward that would come out of it. Like what happens if Jake Paul fights Darren Till? Is that a massive fight on the level of Gervonta Tank Davis, Anthony Joshua, Tommy Fury rematch, even a Carl frach fight for Jake? No, it's not. Because Darren Till while being a big star and right now, honestly the face of misfits just isn't on that level in terms of attention and notoriety in the world. Just not true. And it also doesn't, you know, tickle the fancy of that other side of what Jake's trying to do, you know, world championship or fight legitimate boxers. It doesn't really do that for Jake either. So she doesn't take any of the boxes. Again, that's not a fault of Darren's. It's just they're not in the same kind of stratosphere right now. So Jake Paul's not going to fight Darren till now. With that being said, let's talk about what potential potentially can happen for Darren Till next. I think the fight that you need for Darren Till right now is Carl Fraj. Yes, the Cobra. Yes, the man that sold out 80,000 in Wembley, former super Middleweight champion. And yes, Carl's been retired for a while now, since 2014, I think, and he's 48 years old. But that kind of makes this fight a reality. I know that sounds weird and I'm not, you know, championing. Let's all fight a bunch of old guys, but I mean, that's. That's kind of what the crossover scene has allowed for, is that retired boxers or retired MMA fighters or people that are a little older can rejuvenize their career or do it one more time or do something a little different versus guys that were never on their skill level in their primes, but because their age and maybe because their weight has gone up in some cases, or the sports change, it makes things a little more even and we get a good fucking fight out of it for the most part. This Saturday, Tony Ferguson in his 40s, beat Saul Poppy in his first ever boxing match. Saul Poppy been doing that for years and it was a great moment. One of the greatest moments in Misfits history. I damn near cried when I saw Tony hit both knees on the canvas and sit there screaming out, yes. Because he hadn't had a fight win in six years. That was awesome to see. And the principle of it. The principality of Darren Till versus Carl Froch works. They've been chirping at each other back and forth for about a year and a half now. Carl Froch is very much confident in himself and is a bit braggadocious and he has every right to be. This is the former world champion and one of the best from the UK we're talking about in Carl Froch. But he also knows how to wind people up and he's done it to Darren and they've been going back and forth and I'm Pretty sure he's even made a video. And I should say this, I was at the hotel when Carl was making the video, responding to Darren Till. But I was sitting across and I was seeing what he had to say to his own executive, but I couldn't hear it. So let's take a listen to what his response was to Darren.

[Carl Froch]

They're giving money away here with these fights because Darren Till is absolutely useless. I'm not being funny, listen, I'm talking about professional boxing level, at the level he's at, that he's done all right, he's got decent balance, throws a decent backhand from the southpaw stance. But let's be honest, this would be a mismatch. Even at 48 years old, retired 11 years, it's a mismatch. And I just think behind the sharp job, plenty of things. I just think it'd be an easy fight and this might piss down until office sees it. He might think, cheeky bastard, whatever. Like, he lost the plot tonight and he just tends to switch. Don't. He had the switch goes and he loses the plot. He jumped over, he was on the top rope, where's that shit, I'll throw it. And I was like hiding behind security, like messing around, like I'm scared, nonchalantly eating my apple. And I thought, I can't get in the ring because it's gonna really look like, one, I want the fight, which I'm not really that arsed. And two, he actually bothers me, which he doesn't. Because when you're a four time world champ, unified hall of Famer, you don't worry about people like Darren Till.

[YouTuber/Host]

This is how Carl gets you. Because the first part, he's responding, saying, yeah, it wouldn't be much of a fight, I'd smoke it. Which makes you think, in his mind he's entertaining the fight. He's entertaining the fact that him and Darren could go one on one. But in, as he states, yeah, he was there in the arena, he was on the first row. I remember when I walked into the venue and I saw the chairs labeled, I went, oh, Carl Froch is ringside. I want to see Darren Till. Carl Froch, if Darren beats Luke Rockhold tonight, which he did, went over to the ropes, called out Carl Frach. I just thought it was. It was building to this perfect crescendo where Carl was going to get in the ring. But fair play, I actually like the way he handled it as far as not getting in the ring and not giving Darren Till what he wanted. Because Carl Fra shouldn't let Darren Till dictate how he does things. He's like, he said, four time world champion, unified world champ. I mean, he's a legend in the boxing game. So he does like him coming up and being like, I'll take you on is probably not the greatest look for him in that. In that case, in that scenario. But again, I can't lie, this one would be massive. Massive. In the UK, he did 80,000 with George Groves. I know it was years ago, but that was in Wembley. They could easily do 20,000. Sold out easily. And they would have the who's who for everybody that says misfits is a shit show and, oh, we only really want pro boxing and blah, blah, blah, blah. You would watch that fight. Eddie Hearn, who is constantly talking about how misfits is not pro boxing. And he's right, it's not, it's. It's a bit of an entertainment show and there are some pro boxing matches on it. One that I forgot about when I did my breakdown. Ty Mitchell, Sean Hemphill, fantastic fight, but it's different. And all the people that are quote, unquote sticklers would come out for it. You'd see him in that front row, especially in the uk and the place would be sold the out.

[Carl Froch]

He's not really a professional boxer, although he's, he's having a go. He's looking all right. But then he started talking gobshite down the mic. I was already out the building. I didn't do a runner. I wasn't scared for. Those haters are going to go in the comments and say, I myself and ran off. I didn't. I couldn't be asked for the. But I'm sitting here now, one of the, One of the chief guys at the Zone is a very respected broadcaster for proper boxing. But you also do the misfits. And are you saying actually this fight would like, genuinely have some interest and some value?

[YouTuber/Host]

I think you probably know it does. Yeah, it would. And again, I know I, I don't. I know that Carl sometimes takes the pace, right? And he definitely. I, by the way, I met him this night and Carl's a great guy. Had a fucking hearty handshake on him. He grabbed my hand and I was like, okay, that's what a world champion boxer's hand feels like when you shake it. He was, he gave it a good squeeze, you know, a push and a pull almost. I thought he was gonna hit me with that. I was like, wait, okay, be careful. But the point is, this would be huge. It'd be huge, man. I just, I hope we really, I really hope we get it because that's the best option for Darren Till right now, right? You, you have some other guys that could potentially come over like a Jorge Masvidal and box him. If that would be something the UFC would be okay with and if Masvidal would be able to do it, that's an option for Darren Till. You could have a Tyron Woodley come out and box Darren Till, although I don't think that would go much different than the Jake Paul fights. And then you have the thing like if Darren Till isn't able to knock him out, then it's like we're kind of just doing what Jake already did. But again, who cares at this point? It's just fun fights to make. But obviously the other option, and I would think the number two option really could be the number one option because I don't, I don't know how serious Carl Frach is about fighting him is Tommy Fury. And listen, I know Tommy Fury is a ridiculous man to negotiate with. The fight was made. Darren Till, Tommy Fury, press conferences, and then Tommy Fury backs out because either Tommy can't make his own decisions or John Fury is looking out for my son in the best interest for me. And they both sat there and acted like Darren Till was really going to kick Tommy Fury in the head if he started losing. Not ever going to happen. But having said all that, it's still a big fight and that's probably the most likely option if they can figure that out. I know Jon's talking about a warm up fight and all this other stuff, but I think that would be a great fight. So in conclusion, this video was a follow up to figure out what the future is going to be for Darren Till at Misfits. Because right now it does seem like he has options. But when you go deeper into it, the options at the top of the list aren't likely to happen. The number one being the one they want the most, Jake Paul. Jake Paul will not fight Darrington. Carl Froch, I'd love to see it. It would make the most sense for Darren. It would make the most sense for Misfits. Don't know if it'd make the most sense for Carl Fra, but if they did it, it'd be huge. And then of course, Tommy Fury, that's the one that's the most likely right now, I would think, because Tommy's not busy, Darren's not busy, and they were close to making it happen the first time. Problem is Darren's getting better. Tommy sees that and it's the same argument I had for Jake. If Tommy were to lose that the Jake Paul rematch goes away, the KSI rematch goes away and Tommy has nothing else, that would be it for his boxing career. But that's all I got guys. Throughout this week and next week we're going to be doing Canelo Crawford videos as well as some of the Misfit stuff as well as some of the J Gervonta stuff as well as some follow up on the Raja Jackson stuff. And if there's news that comes out, I'm not sure why he's still not been arrested, have no idea. But if you like all this, make sure you subscribe and let me know down below in the comments. What do you think happens next for Darren Till? Is it Jake? Is it Carl Fr? Is it Tommy Fury? Is it Tyron Woodley? Is it Mike Perry? Is it Jorge Masvidal? I don't have those answers but he's 30 this year and we still have a couple months left. Who does he fight isn't on Misfits and why? I don't have those answers but I guess we'll find out. Rampage Jackson losing his mind this week can we talk about this because this is something that I don't, I can't understand what's happening right now in this Rajah Jackson Psycho Stew, Rampage Jackson Assault and just the outcomes that have now kind of fallen out from the entire situation. It's so weird and there's a lot of just like shifting of blame and not taking accountability and I'm not sure how Rajah Jackson hasn't been arrested yet. But it's just, it's the whole situation is insane and when you look at obviously the person and the people involved with it. Rampage had nothing to do with this specific situation. It was Roger Jackson, it was pro Knox wrestling allowing him to do what he did or allowing him putting him in position to do what he did. And outside of that there's really no other blame to be placed. But watching Rampage respond to this and continually like point the finger at everybody but I mean honestly his son for what's happening is baffling. It's so weird. What I saw was yesterday Rampage put this on Instagram so I wanted to read it with you guys. This, this is crazy to me. He says this has gone too far. I'm sick of being quiet and letting all these low IQ people fall for clickbait. Yes, my son Took things too far. And I'm pissed at him for being a piece of shit in the way he handled it. But if Psycho Stu wasn't drunk and wouldn't have hit my son over the head with a real beer can while he was live streaming on his own stream, then Knox wouldn't have felt like they had to make things right by letting Raja get his quote, get back in the ring. So let's stop there. Number one, he's right about this. At least part of it. He is right that if Psycho Stew did not hit Raja in the head with a beer can, none of us are talking about this. That's fair to say. But to act like what Psycho Stew did, hitting him with the empty beer can. Because that's what it was. It was an empty beer can. Sit here, there, and he hit him with it. Not in a way that was gonna hurt. Raja clearly let up on it. Clearly was. Was him moving it to his head, not trying to actually hurt him with it. But no matter what he hit him with, but in no way, shape or form was him hitting him with that can justification for what Raja was going to do later in the night. So, yes, two things can be true at once. One, Psycho Stu hitting him with the can did have the starting point of all this unraveling. But number two, the unraveling was not because of the beer can incident, because that was apologized for multiple times after the fact in which Raja accepted. He accepted the apology pronox telling Raja he could get his get back and trying to make this into an angle like, let's work, brother. We're always working, brother. They're a bunch of morons. A bunch of indie wrestling morons that thought, oh, yeah, this will be a good angle for us to work because this kid's a live streamer, he's got an audience. So we're going to turn this into a work, brother. First off, the whole thing, even being a work is insane to me because as soon as they found out that Raja wasn't a wrestler, wasn't trying to work, they should have went, you know what? It's probably not a good idea for this kid to be anywhere near wrestling ring, especially after we just had an altercation. We need to for sure send this guy home or just don't have him involved with the show. Just don't do that. Don't have him involved in the show. There's already been a situation. Why make another one? He doesn't know what this is or how to like differentiate, apparently. So don't do it. So what Rampage says so far, you know, okay, he's pissed at his son for being a piece. I don't know what the low IQ comment was. I don't know what that was, but there's no clickbait in what Raja did, right? Like Rampage saying, oh, you know, these low IQ people are falling for the clickbait. What's the clickbait? There's no clickbait. Your son tried to kill a man. That's not. That's not clickbait. That's what happened. All right, so. So that comment, I don't understand, but him saying, you know, it wouldn't happen if Stu didn't do that. Yeah, okay, sure. But we continue. If my son would have just went to the police when the beer can incident happened, then the whole event could have gotten shut down and he could have sued. But no, my son is not as smart as I'd like for him to be. So, again, I don't know this comment either. Like, my son should have sued for the beer incident and shut the thing down. That's what. That's what we should have done. If that's how Rampage feels. Okay, But I don't know how that has any relevance as to what was eventually going to happen. Like, we can all play Monday morning quarterback and say, Raja, if he just would have not gone to the event. If Raja would have skipped the wrestling event and went and played the lotto, he could have won a million dollars. You know what I'm saying? Like, what are we doing here? Sure, he could have gone to the police, but that was clearly not what Raja wanted to do and clearly not what he was inclined to do after they shook hands and Stu apologized this multiple times, Raja accepts the apology and says, okay, that's it. That's where it should have ended. Again, I don't know what Rampage is even getting at. Like, oh, my son should have sued them first. My son should have done. The point is, like, if Rampage is focused on the wrong thing, it's okay to say, you know what? Yes, dude should not have hit him with an empty beer can. And again, he didn't hurt him with the beer can. He hit him with an empty beer can. That was clearly worked to look like he hit him with a beer can so that Raja, again, according to Stu, who he thought was a wrestler, would try to sell it. But the real thing we should be talking about here is none of that again. Okay, you're upset about that part of it, but let's talk about the part that is the clear wrongdoing and had no reason, no justifiable reason to happen at all. Your son, who was not a kid, and I hate hearing people say the kid, the kid, he's not, he is a 25 year old grown man. That took an opportunity. That again, I don't know what Pronox was saying. Go back there and get your get back. That took an opportunity. Fueled on by Rampage, by the way, and the kids kick chat talking about, oh, you're not going to do it, da da da. Rampage. Calling him during the show and be like, I heard you was getting touched on by grown men clowning him for them to like finally snap, go over the edge and completely lose and try to kill the guy. That hasn't been mentioned yet. But there's more. But no, my son is not as smart as I'd like for him to be. Now my family and I are getting racist threats because of all the misinformation posted so content creators can get paid from viewers. Now, first off, there's no reason for anybody to start being racist toward Rampage or anybody else in his fam, right? There's no, no need for that at all. Racist remarks, none of that's needed. You can say that Raja Jackson is completely and utterly responsible for almost killing a guy and that he should be treated like anybody else that commits, at the very least aggravated assault, in my opinion, attempted murder without having to throw racial epithets out. Rampage is more upset about his family getting the racist threats, which I completely understand, but we haven't even talked about the thing that people are upset about and the thing that it obviously Rampage, it's his son, so he doesn't want to have to keep addressing it, but he's on kick every single day, hanging out with whoever the fuck, going to bowling alleys, sleeping over with fucking neon. You would think now would be the time where you lay low for a little bit. Now would be the time where, hey, maybe it's not a good idea to go out in public and do these IRL streams. We're going to have more people trying to bait you, Rage bait and everything else. Or just bring up the situation just like they did to Raja right before he went and assaulted a guy. So no, I don't agree with anybody sending any sort of racist comments toward Rampage or his family. That's scumbag shit. But Rampage is fueling this fire by continuing to act negligent as to what happened here and doing a lot of the finger point, oh, my son was, was concussed from sparring my son, he's not as smart as he should be. We get that. But also, you gotta own up to what he did. You have to. And I would stop addressing it if I'm Rampage, I would stop trying to talk about it because it feels like he takes the shovel out and digs himself further and further away from the truth using more justification for other stuff happening either before or since. You can't get to the sense without what he did. And just talking about what happened before doesn't address it either. But the more he keeps doing it, the more people are going to try to bait him, the more people are going to try to keep bringing the situation up. They're going to bring the assault up. They're going to bring up the fact that his son almost killed the guy and would have had the guy not pulled him off. Secondly, I'm going to cover something that happens in combat sports as atrocious as this. Why would I not cover that? Why would I want bring a light? I would want to bring a light to this and show and showcase like I did Stu's GoFundMe and try to get more people involved in helping him and condemning the actions of Raja Jackson. That's the way this works. That's how any news coverage works. Except we have the ability as YouTubers to also lend a hand by donating and offering up a place to donate to help Stu out. Because, listen, I live in California. I know health care out here is fucking awful. And looking at the situation, I'm not sure that Stu has any health insurance. And if he does, it's probably not great. The point I'm making is this is kind of what I do. This is our job. Of course we get paid from doing our job. Anyway, we keep going. People actually think my son just snuck in a ring in front of a live audience and picked up Psycho Stu without permission to be there. Get smart, people. It was staged, but Raja took it too far. See, this is the thing I can't stand. The only thing that was staged and Rampage doing again. He's doing this thing where it was like, nah, it was all stage. It was supposed to happen, but Raja took it too far. No, incorrect. The only thing that was staged that Raja did was get into the ring the moment he picked Psycho Stu up and dumped him on his head for a shoot. Meaning for real. No, more of that was staged. Zero was staged from that point. He slammed him on his head and concussed him immediately. That wasn't staged. He used an opportunity of things that were supposed to be staged. It was supposed to be something for him to get into the ring and have a little bit of a worked back and forth with Psycho Stu. But that's not what happened, okay? He got permission to be in the ring. He did not get permission to slam Stu on his fucking head and damn near kill him. Those are different things. And again, to try to soften the blow here by being like, yeah, Raja just took it too far. No, he blatantly went against any of the actual parameters of pro wrestling and just did whatever the fuck he wanted when everybody else in the ring thought it was staged. So it, again, kind of makes it worse because they're all there. Psycho Stu's like, okay, he's going to pick me up and dump me here. No big deal. Stu is allowing him to do it. And Raja still slams him on his fucking head, knocks him out, and then punches him 23 times. Not staged. It's not taking it too far. That's in the business. We call it going into business for yourself in real life, we call it aggravated assault and potentially attempt murder. That's what that is. He only shook his hand and accepted Psycho Stu's drunken apology because they said he could get it in the storyline again, do you see, like, the drunken apology one? I agree that Psycho Stu or any of the workers shouldn't be drinking before they go in. Right? Shouldn't be doing it. They're grown adults. But shouldn't be drinking on the job. I agree with that. But what is the framing behind the apology? If Stu is sober, then he's not going to apologize. Is that. Is that like, the framing of this? Like, oh, he was just drunk and that's why I apologized? Or his apology wasn't real because he was drunk. What are we talking about? The man apologized because he didn't know that Rajah Jackson was not a wrestler. He apologized because he mistakenly thought something that was incorrect and did something that he shouldn't have. That's why you apologize for something. What are we talking about? Out. Oh, hey, he's only. He was a drunken apology. And again, he only shook his hand and accepted Psycho Stu's drunken apology because they said he could get it get in the storyline. So if he didn't accept it or what's Raja gonna do in that moment? Is he gonna assault him there? Instead of shaking his hand, he assaults him earlier. Is that. Is that the better option? Like, what are we talking about? He only shook his hand and accepted it because they were gonna allow him to get it back. It's okay. Let's say they don't allow him to get it back. He just him up right there we talking about, and then he says he was told he could, quote, fuck him up. I have witnesses that says this isn't the first time Psycho Stew had done some drunk shit backstage to a fan. Ok, well, if you have witnesses, then let's hear those witnesses. Let's hear what the drunk shit was. But again, Rampage is right that one of these morons told Raja that he could go and tag somebody's shit. That was that dude in the cowboy hat with the fucking baby oil all over him. The guy that thought he was a real pro wrestler. Stupid. Accountability needs to be enforced across all sides of this thing. That guy's a fucking moron. And I'm pretty sure they banned him from wrestling over there. But, yeah, he's an idiot. But what? Again, I don't understand this, this justification. Well, Stu had always. Stu, he's always doing some drunk shit and he drunk apologize, right? He just keeps using drunk apology, drunk shit backstage. Okay? None of it, none of it justifies what, what Raja did at all. All this shows me is that there's a lack of accountability from Raja. And now Rampage, if you're tired of hearing about what your son did, then get offline. If you're tired of trying to defend it or defend your son, then stop doing it. Be there for your son, and don't be on live stream taking random days to go out and do whatever the fucking public where people are going to eventually ask you about this. That's how it works. You're online. It's free game for these kids, by the way, that are in your kick chat and definitely in Raj's kick chat that are looking to get a rise out of you, get off the Internet, because shit like this makes it worse. Now we have the backstory that my son attacked an innocent military vet with ptsd. Like, my son knew everything about that man that came up from behind him and hit him, then asked him to sell it. He didn't come up from behind Raj. Raja was standing right in front of him. And first off, if you're going to act like, oh, man, this is crazy. If you're going to sit here and say, oh, like, Raja didn't know that man was a military vet with ptsd. It doesn't matter that he was a military vet with ptsd. That's just part of the things that he also deals with. If he was not a military vet, didn't have ptsd and Your son tried to kill him. He still tried to kill him. He still assaulted him. Like the things that have come out after just happened to be who the guy is. Just like when Rampage said, well, my son, my son just had a concussion a couple days ago. He shouldn't have been there. Okay. Doesn't change what he did. Just like Stu, being a military vet doesn't change what he did. It's certainly a nice thing to see that a military vet has an outlet for his PTSD and goes to pro wrestling shows like this to help with it. But it isn't the reason that any of this happened. Rampage is like, ah, yeah, if it was. If it wasn't a military vet, then no worries. No one would be talking about it. No, we'd be talking about it because it's a sick act, man. It's assault. I have other kids to protect and I don't take kindly to threats. Again, I don't think anybody should be threatening Rampage Jackson. But again, the nature of the Internet is you're going to get these goofball kids that are going to DM you some crazy shit because you keep giving them opportunities and feeding the beast. When you respond to stuff, the way he's responding and continue to be on live stream in this whole time while his son's going through this. And I don't know what the. If there's going to be charges laid down from. I'm surprised there's not charges laid down from the lapd. But also, don't act like Rampage isn't also someone that was trolling him on that same night. Not to say Rampage caused this, because he didn't. That's not fair to say. But he's also. That same night, you can see the dynamic between Raja and Rampage that night, the dynamic between father and son. Son. He's calling up a son, being like, yeah, I heard you was getting. What do you say? Pushed up on by sweaty men. Heard you. Heard you was, you know, he was trolling him. It's like your son's clearly upset about something. They're cursing back and forth at each other, and now it's like, oh, I'm protecting. I'm protecting. I don't know, man. It was. It was weird watching that. I said it on my video. I couldn't imagine. Not to. Not to compare situations. And I'm not going to act like I know the situation of rampaging his son, but I can never imagine dropping an F bomb talking to my father. I can't imagine my father doing some, like, that calling me and being like, hey, you know, and when I have, I'm seriously upset about something. I'm not scared of prison or dying for my kids. And calling me names won't hurt my feelings. I mean, he made this entire Instagram post clearly because someone got under his skin. Like, when you tell people, oh, you're not hurting my feelings, while in a diatribe about, you know, addressing people that are either hurting your feelings or that are in your DMs, it falls on deaf ears. Like you're doing. You're. You're responding to the people you're saying aren't hurting. You know what I'm saying? Like, you do all this. Clearly someone got under your skin. My son should face the consequences for going too far. And you knows better. Okay, fair. We agree. That's all really, that Rampage needed to say here. My son did something that he should face the consequences for, and from that point on, he will grow and change. As a man, I can't excuse his actions, but that's still my son, and I will be by him through whatever. That's all he needed to say. My son will face consequences for what he did. He should not have done it. I apologize to everybody involved. He will change and he will grow, and he will be better for it if he just left it there. There is no more. More poking fun at him. There is no more, like, trying to get under Rampage of Skin. It's that he keeps addressing it and keeps using little qualifiers for it that people keep getting upset about. That's why he didn't tell me anything about the storyline. I don't know what that means, but Psycho Stew is lucky I wasn't there when he hit my son over the head with a beer can the day after he got a concussion from sparring the day before. I wouldn't have cared if a bunch of pro wrestlers would have jumped me. I'm a father first. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Let's all learn a lesson. Keep your damn hands to yourself. So again, he goes from saying, my son should face the consequences for taking it too far, but if I was there, I would have taken it too far. He's basically saying he would have assaulted him. What is that? What are you talking about? Like, oh, my son should face the consequences. He knows he shouldn't have done it, but if I was there, I would have done it. What is that, dude? That's just. This is what tells me, like, there's. There's no computing to Rampage or Raja any sort of contrition or again, accountability for what it is. You can in one hand say, my son should not have done what he did. I don't appreciate my son being hit over the head with a can. But what you're gonna in if you're there, you're gonna start swinging on everyone. This is why this stuff happens. He started off the. The. The. The whole diatribe here by saying my son should have gone to the police and then ended it off by being like, if I was there, I would have kicked the shit out of everybody. I agree with him. People should keep their hands themselves, mainly his son. But you can't just justify this stuff, man. You just can't. If you get paid to do fake fighting, don't disrespect people that do this for real. Now I put myself in this. DM me now. What is that? Like, what does this end off here? Now I put myself in this shit. DM me now. DM you for what? Is Rampage gonna run up on everyone that DMs? Him seeing like, your son needs to go to jail? Your son needs to face consequences for what he's done? What is that? Just take some accountability. Don't encourage this back and forth, forth. If Rampage is watching something like this, just don't encourage it. Like, you just. You're digging yourself deeper and deeper by being like, yeah, DM me now. Okay, for what? So you can run a fade with people in your DMs? You can show them what happens when they DM you. You don't keep your hands to yourself. What are we talking about, man? This is insane to see. Just Rampage, you just need to stop. You need to stop. You probably, in my opinion, he should get off kick and leave it alone, but he just can't. And I don't know why he feels the need to keep doing this. Everybody, myself included, can offer what could have, would have, should have happened in this scenario. But ultimately what did happen was his son. After an incident that happened to him earlier in the day that was apologized for, that he accepted unprovoked, went into a ring and damn near killed a guy. And that's really it that needs to be accounted for. I am a little bit shocked that there is no charges that have been filed right now. I don't know if that's something that the LAPD is looking into or what's going to happen with it, but Raja does need to face some consequences. Otherwise, what's the whole point of a system of laws? What's the point if we can't see any sort of justification or any sort of justice served for what happened. What are we doing? I saw that Psycho Stew is now home from the hospital, which is good. But apparently he still got some really, really bad injuries. But yeah, man, I just saw Rampage do put this out on, on Instagram and I was like, what are we doing? Like, how do we not learn throughout this whole process that the only thing that's going to make it worse is continually either denying what happened or offering defense for it, or trying to cushion the blow of it or outright just saying you would have done the same thing. It's stupid. And Rampage keeps falling into this trap that started kind of this whole thing online. Kiddos being in his chat, DMing him online, getting his, his ego involved with this rage, baiting him him to ultimately he can't control it. And then he responds like this. It's bad. Rampage threatens to sue MMA Guru, bro. First off, this is what I'm talking about. Hold on, I gotta get a drink. But look at this dude, man, we got wigs on, we're out IRL live streaming. This is why this stuff happens, dude.

[Rampage Jackson]

I got people like MMA Guru telling me to stop streaming. And he trying to dig up the, dig up the past and stuff. He opened himself up for defamation of character. He's a idiot. He's talking about the time when I got in that, that car accident and he's twisting the facts like I've, I've already, like, I've already. That's, that's Ola. I already like did interviews about it and told everything. And I never was speeding. Wasn't. It wasn't a high speed chase. Didn't crash in the back of somebody going 60 miles per hour. And no one had a miscarriage that day. And all. Only thing I did, only damage I did was hit a side view mirror.

[YouTuber/Host]

I don't see what Rampage is going to sue for here. And again, I just think this is all a bad look man, to be his age. Rampage is in his 40s, live streaming with only fans models. Again, he's a grown man. He can do what he wants. Doing these skits, hanging out with these younger people. And like I'm sure he's making money. And by the way, maybe he's making money to help help, you know, with, with Raj's situation because they're probably going to need some good defense lawyers here. So maybe. But it's just weird, isn't it? You two seriously make a cute couple. Which one of you is the pitcher and who is the catcher. Do you take turns?

[Rampage Jackson]

I'm not giving MMA Guru no clout. You know, he already has a platform, but he can't use his platform to try to tell me to stop streaming because my son did something that had nothing to do with me. Like, man, life. My life goes own. You know what I'm saying?

[YouTuber/Host]

I just. That answer to me, I just can't fathom. I understand that if things happen around you, even if they're detrimental, very detrimental to your family, that you still have to live your life. I get that. But what Rampage is doing right now is a choice. This is not life or death for him. This is not. I have to go to work, otherwise they're going to foreclose on my house. You know what I'm saying? This is not something he has to do to keep the lights on. Or maybe he does. I don't know. I don't know. Rampage financials. But judging by the fact that he didn't start streaming until this year, I'd say he's doing okay without it. But to make this choice and just explain it in that way, like, I didn't have anything to do with what he did. My life's got to continue. I just. It's just a weird. It's just so odd to hear from a father talking about his son again. I. I don't have kids, so maybe I just don't understand it. But I know if that happened to me, my dad would be turning over every stone he could to try to be there for me, and it would be about me. It wouldn't be about him. You know what I'm saying? Not to be, like, questioning Rampage as a dad. I don't want to do that. But I'm just saying that whole, like. Well, I didn't. It ain't got nothing to do with me. I didn't do.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

It.

[YouTuber/Host]

Wasn't me. Me. Okay, but that's your son, you know, so. So it does have something to do with you. I just don't like that, man. I don't like it. He's not technically wrong. Like, he can do whatever he wants, but it just. It feels like someone else said. It feels like he's treating Raja like it's. It's a friend of his that he's like, oh, well, it wasn't. It wasn't. Wasn't me. That was him. And, yeah, Raj is a grown man, but I don't. It's. It's your son, man. Just. Tip, $5. Thank you for last night, Diddy Page. You taught Me how to suck a mean dick. My shit is still raw. Like, you see this? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That's embarrassing, y'. All. I know that I get trolled in this chat and we go back and forth. He's out in public and he's getting trolled and has the TTS on so he can make money in this weird like appeasing the young audience getting trolled, like humiliation because this shit's embarrassing. He's sitting there as this whoever donates money so they can tell him about sucking dick and all this and he's just like, gotta. Ah, this is awful, dude.

[Rampage Jackson]

Yeah. MMA guru is mad.

[YouTuber/Host]

Kings just tipped $5. I bought the Lexus GX but still got no takeo.

[Rampage Jackson]

He's mad cuz. Cuz I. Because I said that his racism is showing. That's how I felt. That's. That was my opinion.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

That.

[Rampage Jackson]

That was.

[YouTuber/Host]

That was my scuba Steve762 don't mean I was right.

[Rampage Jackson]

I already. I already sent the video of him.

[YouTuber/Host]

The real Kai.

[Rampage Jackson]

What are you saying?

[Interviewer/Commentator]

He says, you want to suck on my toes?

[Rampage Jackson]

No, I'm sorry.

[YouTuber/Host]

Bottom line, I think it's pretty, pretty simple. Rampage needs to lay low for a while. What he's doing is not helping his case when it comes to Internet perception, which I don't know if he even cares about. It seems like he cares a lot more than he says he cares. And it's not helping his son's case when it comes to the continual mixed messaging he wants to send on it. Because I assume there's eventually going to be a court case and all this stuff is evident evidence. This, all this live stream is evidence. And the more Rampage addresses it and the way he is can't be a good thing. My opinion, but yeah. Rampage crashing out on a daily, on Instagram, on kick on, wherever. Not a good look. And it's only going to continue making the Rajah Jackson assault worse. Canelo has been keeping things under lock and key. Let's just say for his camp. He hasn't really spoken to anyone there. Hasn't been outside of the press conferences. He hasn't really done a ton of media. And Terence Crawford has done a ton of Buildup on his YouTube channel. Channel. As far as what he's doing in camp, obviously not showing, you know, the stuff that matters the most. We gotta wait till fight night to see that. By the way, we are just over a week away from fight night in Las Vegas. September 13th, 6pm PST, 9pm Eastern. I'll be there in some capacity. I don't exactly know how yet, but this is the fight of the year. You do not want to miss it. And I want to know what Canelo thinks, what his mindset is right now as we head into this fight. Fight. And he sat down with everyone's favorite, Mike Coppinger, to see how he's feeling just weeks or a week away from his fight. Let's take a look.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

Making history is my goal.

[Rampage Jackson]

I stepped to him and showed him who was the boss of this fight.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

I respect everybody, but if you with me, it's gonna be different.

[Rampage Jackson]

I ain't scared of for sure them bells coming with me.

[YouTuber/Host]

I know you're weak before we even get into it. I'm sorry. So they're. I guess they're in Reno. I guess that's where Canelo is doing his camp in Reno, home of the University of Nevad. But can we just for a second acknowledge the fact that one of the greatest things Canelo has done, it's not just that he is a multi division world champion. It's not just that he's undisputed at 168lbs. It's not that he's just one of the greatest boxers of all time. It's that he learned to speak English. That's one of the greatest accomplishments in Canelo's career. Him learning to speak English has made everything about him so much more entertaining. Obviously, I'm entertained by his skill in the ring, but him just speaking English. I will sit down and watch hours worth of footage because you just never know the phrases. And it's like Spanglish a little bit because they'll add a para in there as well. You know what I'm saying? So w. English speaking Canelo in a.

[Interviewer]

Million big fights at this point, but does this one maybe feel a little bit.

[YouTuber/Host]

So we got Mike Coppinger, my guy, doing the interviews. The only reason I'm laughing. Why did they frame him like this? What is this frame? They shot down on him and like, like, it's just. I don't think I've ever seen this framing ever for an interview. Like, you'll see the way they frame Canelo, and it's great. And then they did my boy Mike Cop. Dirty. Different.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

No, fearless.

[YouTuber/Host]

Like, look at that frame. Look how good Canelo looks. And then you got this. Why would you do that?

[Interviewer/Commentator]

Not feel the same. But for me, I'm being in this position, in this situation, a lot of times, I think it's gonna be the biggest fighting in the history of boxing because. Because everybody's gonna watch it. A new audience is gonna watch.

[Interviewer]

You're gonna be defending your Ring magazine super middleweight championship yet again. You still have a chip on your shoulder, I feel, because people aren't giving you the same respect they used to. After you have the performance that you know you're gonna have, right? They can't deny you anymore.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

I don't know, but I don't give a fuck, dude. So.

[YouTuber/Host]

This is what I'm talking about. Coppinger's like, yeah, you know, people may not be giving you the respect you deserve after that last performance, yada yada. Canelo's like, I don't give a. I don't think he does. I think Canelo is at the. The point in his career where he don't have to listen to. He don't have to listen to anybody about whatever they want to say. He's already done everything in the sport, and this isn't me glazing. It's just a fact. Canelo has fought the who sure were all of them in their prime. No, but that's not his fault. He moved up in weight to fight some people. He found he sought out out difficult opponents in matchups, you know, the same way he was like, oh, Floyd didn't necessarily fight some of the best names in his resume at the best time in their career. Not his fault. Floyd went up and sought people out. So Canelo's sitting there like, yeah, I don't give a shit. And he. He's pretty much the only guy that can really say that right now.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

I feel I'm the best, and that's it. I don't focus on if the people say, or put me in the first position. I'm the best. I feel I'm the best. I'm doing because I love boxing.

[Rampage Jackson]

I called Canelo out because, like I said, he the last great fighter amongst the era that surpassed us. This is my mega fight. This is my moment.

[Interviewer]

You didn't have much interest in this Crawford fight. You were saying that there wasn't much in it for you, and you pointed out that people will say that he was too small. What changed?

[Interviewer/Commentator]

I think he's one of the best fighters for more fun. He accomplished a lot of things, too. Mexican with the American fighter is always big.

[Interviewer]

When he fights you at Allegiant Stadium.

[YouTuber/Host]

Canelo's like, I knew the money was crazy. That's why he's like, yeah, I knew that. The Mexican fighter versus the American fighter. Canelo can draw allegiant stadium. That's what it is. I mean, yes, there's. There's the element of greatness involved as well, but Canelo knew he was getting a bag for this. Canelo knew that Terrence had to do all the difficult stuff. Let's be honest about it. This is why I favor Canelo in the fight. Terry. Terrence is the one moving up weight. Terrence is the one going into unfamiliar territory. Terrence is the one fighting up a level, not just in competition, weight, everything. No one on. On Terence Crawford's resume again, even Errol Spence after the car crash is as good as Canelo is even right now, let alone Canelo, you know, five years ago, six years ago. So there's just, there's no concessions that Canelo has to make. There wasn't even a, you know, a rehydration or anything like that. So Canelo's in there just doing what he normally does. And yes, Terence Crawford's a great fighter. I expect this to be a great fight. Fantastic back and forth. I still, you know, flip flop a little bit on who I think's going to win up until recently, and I've just kind of solidified that. I think it's going to be Canelo. But still, this is. This is everything Canelo wanted as well as one of the greatest fighters in the world with Terence Crawford. Whereas Terence is having to go against the grain, go up to really three weight classes, fight for his first time at 168, for all the belts. It's incredible, dude. You have to give Terence Crawford the credit that he is willing to. To say yes to every, I don't know, underdog point of this fight. He's done that.

[Interviewer]

I imagine it's going to be, you know, 55,000 plus screaming Canelo fans, right? Many from Mexico. How much do you think that's going to affect him? That big edge you have and experience fighting on that stage, gonna be different for him.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

Different in every, in every single thing. We'll see. We'll see how he handled that.

[Interviewer]

You like to fight in.

[YouTuber/Host]

I mean, it's true. It's true. There's going to be a lot more. More different this time for Terence Crawford, even from the Errol Spence fight. And that was a big fight. That fight did numbers, but we're talking allegiant stadium. Terence Crawford's never fought in a stadium. Canelo's done it twice, I think, or maybe more than. But the amount of fans that are going to be there for Canelo Alvarez is going to dwarf Bud Crawford fans. I'm gonna tell you that right now. If you don't believe me, you're out of your mind. Canelo is going to fill that place up. They're going to be Canelo fans. And he is used to that kind of pressure. Not saying that Terence Crawford isn't used to pressure. Not saying that he won't perform well. But he, make no mistake about it, he will be booed very heavily on fighting. That's my prediction. My prediction, he's going to be. This is going to be enemy territory. It's going to be a home game for Canelo. One, because Canelo has dominated Vegas now for a long time. And just because he's the bigger star, it's going to be a road game for Bud Crawford. He's treating it like that, too, which I like. I. I'm not. Like I said, he's embraced it. Look back at the press conference, he was like, yeah, listen, all y' all gonna be crying. Everybody's gonna be crying when I go in and, you know, do a number or whatever he said. Put a boot in his ass or whatever he said. Said at the press conference. I like that. I like him not even playing the villain, but just being confident in himself, right? Going in there saying, I know what I'm getting into, but I'm still going to go in there and close the show. I'm still going to go into enemy territory and win this thing. He's going to have to, because it's going to be a crazy, crazy crowd.

[Interviewer]

That usually May and September, right? The two big Mexican holidays. As the biggest star in the sport, I wonder, are you usually better when you fight in September because you're fighting only four months later?

[Interviewer/Commentator]

I always feel I'm more ready in September than May because I have like a long time vacations and then fighting Maine and then September.

[YouTuber/Host]

Yeah, that's not a bad point. Canelo again. The William Skull fight was not a good look for William Skull, but also wasn't a great look for Canelo. Right. Was not able to really assert himself in that fight. Couldn't really track Skull down. Couldn't land the punches he wanted to land. Skull was running for sure. Did not want to engage with Canelo at all. But that's something I hadn't thought about. Is that Canelo now, not the big layoff, right from September all the way back till May, because that's usually Canelo's schedule twice a year. He's. He's been in camp pretty much since the Skull fight. And this is gonna be a bit more of a fine tuned machine. Canelo, especially the added motivation and everything else, he's already a disciplined fight. On the other side of that, Terence Crawford fights one time a year, once. He is not a very active fighter, at least not for the longest time. Now, let me see if I can pull up Terence Crawford's schedule. This honestly should be what you look at more than the whole weight talk. We shouldn't even be doing the whole like, Canelo's the bigger man stuff. I do think the weight is a big issue because of the fact that Terence Crawford has never fought at the weight. That's why I think it's a big issue. Not because Canelo is so much bigger. But when you take a look since 2020 and really the end of 2019, you're seeing Terence Crawford fight pretty much once a year. December 2019, November 2020, November 2021, December 2022, July 2023, August 2024. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 fights in the last six years. Six fights in the last six years. It'll be 7 and 7 by the time this one rolls around. But you get my point. Now in that same time frame, in that same time frame, you have Canelo, November 2019, December 2020, February 2021, May 2021, November 2021, May 2022, September 2022, May 2023, September 2023, May 2024, September 2024. So you have him 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 times since then. This will be number 12. So you have the Canelo staying somewhat, I wouldn't say fresh, but saying somewhat ready, keeping his body trained for boxing at the weight he is fighting at. So when you compound the fact that Canelo's already had a fight this year to get himself, you know, know, switched on and back his eyes, seeing punches, all that stuff, sparring, training, had a camp, had a fight, has another camp. This is Terence Crawford's first camp since the Madrimoff fight. That's a massive deal to me and I know it hasn't necessarily affected Terence Crawford in the past, but again, we talk about Terence Crawford at 147, we talk about him at 140. We all saw the Madrimoff fight and it wasn't the greatest performance from Terence Crawford at 154. Is that because he is really inactive and moving up in weight or was that just an off night? These are things I don't have the answers to. But I'm going to tell you something. It matters. Matters I think a lot of people would have said, listen, Crawford, go and get a fight at 168 before you fight Canelo. He's not doing that. Major risk. And the fact that Canelo's already had a fight this year got his stinker of a performance out of the way. I don't know. I. I think it means a lot more than we're really giving it credit for. Not just the inactivity of Bud, but the fact that Canelo is. Has already got a performance under his belt this year. Too much running around. Trust me, he's not delivering that message to Canelo outwards.

[Interviewer]

You said to me, I'm worried because I fight somebody and they run, then I'm going to get bored. Blame for boring fight. And then what happens?

[Interviewer/Commentator]

That happens. To have a good fight, you need both fighters. Boxiness. You throw, you get in there and move, move your waist, move around a little bit. But a throw punches getting there. That's boxing. But when you have one fighter like we saw with the Skull, like running and running, that's not that kind of fight you want, right? And it's very difficult to close the waist and everything. You close him. He jumped right away. It's very difficult. What kind of style is that?

[Rampage Jackson]

The only.

[YouTuber/Host]

Again, I will say yes, it was a bad look for William Skoll to fight the way he fought. But Canelo was not his sharpest on that night either. He was having trouble getting set and landing big power punches, mostly because a lot of his combinations were started with big power punches. There were moments where he went to the jab more. There were moments where he started to set things up and look a little better. But he was looking for massive, massive punches. And there wasn't a ton of output from Canelo. So, yes, William Skoll was the reason that fight didn't look great. But Canelo also showed that, you know, if you do have some feet and you are able to move and Canelo either can't track you down or doesn't want to open up or throw punches to set up him throwing the big power, then it's going to be a weird night. I'm not saying that Terrence Crawford is going to fight like that and I hope that he wouldn't. And I certainly hope that Canelo is not going to fight like that. Canelo better, he better let go that leash lead hand. He better find some foundation with that jab and he knows that. I honestly think that that William Skull performance is a bit of Canelo just being lazy. I'm gonna be honest with you. And he can't do that versus Crawford and I think he knows that. Right. Just kind of big man, like usually, ah, whatever. William Skull. I'm just gonna do whatever I want to you. Right. Like almost a lack of respect for Skull. I do want to see how much Crawford moves his feet because everybody talks about the angle changing of, of Bud Crawford and angle switching. Angle switch. He's going to need to do that. But in the pocket, it's different from, from, you know, know, moving laterally around the ropes. Canelo can still handle angle changing in the pocket, but I, maybe you expect like a Billy Joe Saunders esque type of, of strategy from Bud Crawford. I don't know. It's going to be interesting though.

[Rampage Jackson]

The only running that I'm going to be doing is running upside his head.

[YouTuber/Host]

And I can assure you that it's a good line. That's a good line for Bud. I like that.

[Interviewer]

Have any concern that there's going to be any running in this fight?

[Interviewer/Commentator]

I hope not. I think C is not that kind of fighter. He's a different. He, he buck and I like that.

[Interviewer]

I think you've had like, what is it, nine or ten fights in the same span. Crawford's had four fights. I imagine you get way more up for these bigger fights.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

Yeah, more because it's motivated and disciplined. So together is drinking and it's very different mentality, you know, motivation and discipline.

[YouTuber/Host]

Although it does feel like Canelo's offering a little bit of excuses for the William Skull fight. You can't make excuses for it. We saw what happened. It is what it is. Move on.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

I was the same mentality with William at school, but I was other country and this and then very different. But this is different. You can feel it right away. And you know, how big is this? How important is this for my legacy?

[Interviewer]

At some point, do we see that rematch with Bevo? I know you've been looking for it and I know it bothers you, right? You know, you're, you know, you're better than what you showed right now.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

I'm focused 100% on craft. I don't think like, not even in vacation or anything. I don't think about anything else. I'm focused on on craft. And then with we see the you.

[YouTuber/Host]

I don't know if I ever see Canelo fighting Dimitri Bivol again. I doubt it. I see the David Benavidez fight at some point, depending on how he does against Anthony Yard potentially with Bivol. Arthur better Bev in The trilogy, maybe, but I don't see why Canelo would go back to 175 and do it again. It was clear that his power wasn't carrying there. It was clear, I mean, in the Kovalev fight it did, but that Kovalev, not Bivol. But it was clear that he was, he was getting outboxed as well. Let's be honest. It wasn't just because Bivol was being bigger. He was getting outboxed that night. B is a slick Soviet style boxer, man. So, yeah, I, I don't, I don't see that he's.

[Interviewer]

Work on strengthening your neck. And you're so good at riding the punches, right, to take off some of the sting. What was the moment in your career when you knew that you had a special chin?

[Interviewer/Commentator]

My training, obviously, but I won like that. I'm special. I'm special. That's what I know. I knew this since I started boxing.

[Interviewer]

You knock down J, knock down Jaime Munguia. Same for Berlanga and for John Ryder.

[YouTuber/Host]

Little did he know a hook was coming around the corner.

[Interviewer]

It seems like once these guys feel your power, they say, I'm not exchanging anymore. Do you think that's going to happen in this fight too?

[Interviewer/Commentator]

As soon as he feels the power, he feels everything. He's going to be the same.

[Interviewer]

There's no way Crawford can hurt.

[YouTuber/Host]

Dang. Okay. And this is an interesting point as well. Like for. Okay, we take a look at Canelo over the last couple of years. People talk about his performance. Performances, right? The fact that he couldn't stop John Ryder, the fact that he couldn't stop Edgar Berlanga, the fact that he couldn't stop Jaime Mugia. And I look at these performances. William Skoll different and Charlo different. William Skoll, that was just a bad performance. But when you look at those performances, he still won runaway victories. Those nights, I'm talking 11 to 1 12, 0 on some scorecards. And no, he wasn't able to knock him out. But then Mike actually makes a good point there, talking about, okay, well listen, when you saw the John Ryder, the Jamel Charlos, the Jaime Muguias and Edgar Berlingas, when they got hit with real punches, Munguia came back and wanted some more. Fair play to him. Ryder wanted some more. But Jermell and Edgar Berlanga pretty much said, no, I don't want any part of that. No, I'm all good, man. I, I don't, I don't want any more of that smoke. And one thing that people don't, they don't realize at the highest level of boxing is that these guys are good enough to not get knocked out. If you're one of the best in the world and even if you're not, if you're a high, like a high enough level boxer, you know how not to get knocked knocked out, you know how to survive. And especially if you give it the old college try, get your clapped and then go, yeah, you know, I don't want to do that again. You know how to survive for the most part.

[Interviewer]

Hurt you.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

We need to be very focused.

[YouTuber/Host]

And by the way, this is what I expect out of Terrence.

[Interviewer]

No way Crawford can hurt you.

[YouTuber/Host]

I expect counter punching. I don't, I hope Canelo's not leaning.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

Like we need to be very focused.

[YouTuber/Host]

Look at that. After every punch he aims. Answer, one miss answer.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

Anybody can carry you.

[YouTuber/Host]

I expect a lot of that. I want to see him firing in between because I think those are the openings. When Canelo does, we'll see what Canelo shows up. But if he shows up like he, like he has over the last couple of fights, even if he's been dominant, I want to see Terrence be precise in his counter punching, firing in between and making Canelo miss with the big power punches. Boom, boom, boom, get back to it, right, Pivot, whatever, reset the action. That's where I think he could be successful. And that's when, when you're thinking about how Terence Crawford's going to win this fight, I think that is how he's going to do I being able to punch in between Canelo's low output or lower output since he's moved up in weight on his way to a decision victory. And you really, I mean, listen, Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas, you really got to beat Canelo. So that is another way I, I, I, I think that Canelo can be exploited if he fights like he did versus Skull versus Berlanga versus some of the other bigger guys. I like that Terence Crawford is going to look to stay in range, counterpunch in between. The problem is Canelo might only have to land one or two to Terence Crawford's two or three because of the bigger power difference. And the more you engage with that and don't pull a William Skull and get away from it, the more dire the consequences can potentially be. As much as we don't want to sit here and say Canelo's power versus Terence Crawford's percentage decision, it could really come down to that. It really could. Because if Canelo Chops a right hand through while Terence Crawford's trying to make him miss and make him pay. That could be all she wrote. We've seen Terence Crawford get wobbled at 140. We've seen that. I saw Gamboa wobble. And Gamboa is a puncher, but Canelo is a puncher at 168. His power could be the difference, and a lot of people are picking him because of that.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

But if you smart, you know how to box and everything, it's very difficult.

[Interviewer]

Crawford is pretty strong for his weight. How much do you think that strength is going to play a part in this fight?

[Interviewer/Commentator]

I don't know. We'll see. But what I know, he's a good fighter, very smart fighter and very disciplined.

[YouTuber/Host]

That's what Terence Crawford, again at the lower weight classes, just pick people apart with.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

But what I know, he's a good fighter and very disciplined. He need to get credit for that. I am, too.

[Interviewer]

Are you looking for the knockout against Cross?

[YouTuber/Host]

Sticking his nose in there and making people pay for missing him, Right? Believing in his chin, believing in the dog inside him. He need to get to be able to go. Nope. Check hook, hit you with that one. Come back, left hand of the body, chop that across like that is what Terence Crawford has made a living off of, is as soon as you throw, boom, I'm going hooks, straight punches, counter, check, hook, all that. So that, that is, again, what makes this fight interesting, is that Crawford has great eyes and he has great anticip, and his counter punching is usually pretty damn sharp. You watch the Spence fight and he lands some counter punches you didn't even see. It was like, my goodness.

[Interviewer]

Are you looking for the knockout against Crawford?

[Interviewer/Commentator]

I think every fighter looking for the knockout, if they say no, they are lying. You want an elite fighter? Just one.

[Rampage Jackson]

So when I beat you, is you gonna be a nobody? When I stump a mud hole in your ass, is you gonna be a nobody?

[YouTuber/Host]

Terrence talking crazy when he stomps a mud hole, okay, like everybody else, watch.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

I said before, he's a great fighter, but if you look at his career, mention what one elite fighter. I just say facts. I don't say anything like, I'm like.

[YouTuber/Host]

Tom Brady's sitting there like, I don't know what the fuck's going on.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

You know, I'm fucked. He faced maybe good fighters, but there's a difference between good fighters and elite fighters.

[Rampage Jackson]

I'm gonna just keep it real. I'm hustling, hunting. I'm hunting everything that he got.

[Interviewer/Commentator]

Two of the best fun for fun is gonna face each other. Yeah, he's gonna find out. September 13th is way different.

[YouTuber/Host]

All right, there's so much more to get to with this Canelo Crawford fight. I think I'm gonna be making videos about how Terrence wins and how Canelo wins in the lead up to next week. So stay tuned for those. If you guys are new here, subscribe to the channel. What happens on September 13? I don't have those answers. I'm leaning Canelo, but that could change. And on fight night is the only time we'll really find out. All right, folks, we are back on the way concept presented by the Ring magazine. And I'm just baffled that I'm bringing you this video. Mike Tyson versus Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout for spring of 2026 was announced. And from what I'm hearing and seeing, folks, this thing has been signed. It's not one of those things that may or may not happen. The only thing I guess they're waiting on is a date in a venue. Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather is happening. What. What the is going on? The breakdown. Let's go. So, folks, as you can see, Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather agree to an exhibition bout or an exhibition fight per tmz. Both fighters have signed contracts and the fight is scheduled for spring 2026. Now, before we even get into this thing, this is where boxing is in 2025. And listen, I'm not gonna complain because I understand the layout of things. We already had Jake Paul, Mike Tyson. We have Jake Paul, Gervonta, Tank Davis. This feels like the TEEMU version of it. And that sounds crazy because we have two of the greatest of all time about to participate in this. But both of them are about 30 years past their sell by date in an exhibition bout in which their weights will be 60 to 70 to 80 pounds different. If you got on board with Jake and Mike, it was because at least they were going to weigh the same. There was that mystery of intrigue is like maybe Mike has a little bit left in the tank. Maybe Mike is not all the way done. And. And that's more the casual audience that thought that, not the people that actually knew that Mike had nothing left 20 years ago, let alone now at 58, 59. It wasn't going to be competitive. I told you guys it wasn't going to be competitive. It was a spectacle. It did a crap ton of numbers. And clearly this fight is a spin off of it. As we've seen over the years from many TV Shows the spinoff never does as well as the original. In fact, in most cases, it absolutely bombs. Now, I don't know if that's going to happen here, but it's clear why it's happening. The success of Jake Paul, Mike Tyson, honestly, maybe the success of Floyd Mayweather, Logan Paul, way back when people still cared about Floyd Mayweather exhibitions before he started fighting John Gotti the third and Aaron Chalmers. And one I did live in person, Deji. But since then, no one's watched Floyd's exhibitions. He's been just, I guess, stealing the bag bank robbery style from some of these companies. And now Mike Tyson is apparently on board. And I don't even know what to think. Someone on Twitter said it perfectly. Either everybody in the world is going to want to watch this or 10,000 people will watch it. I don't really know another way to describe it because I have no idea the level of intrigue here. I have no idea outside of the fact that probably both men want a shit ton of money and they're being promised a shit ton of money, why this is happening. But it's happening. So, you know, let's take a look at the article by tmz. They said we're told to match, which will be put on behind CSI sports slash fight sports. CSI sports, crime scene investigation sports. That's what we're doing, honestly. Might make a little sense because after watching Mike Tyson fight Jake Paul and looking at how broke down he was, this entire fight might be draped in yellow tape. I'm gonna say it. It's a crime to put Mike back in a boxing ring after what that fight turned out to be. Now, again, I knew that going in and a lot of people did. It was a spectacle and it was a circus. But now even on top of that, we're adding this massive weight difference and I don't know. Anyway, let's keep it going. The tale of the tape. They have it here. Mike 59, Floyd 48, Mike 510, Floyd at five eight. Floyd with a 72 inch reach. At five eight, Mike with one of the shortest reaches for his height, 50 and 7 50. And oh, and their KOs. No mention of the weight here in the tale of the tape. Interesting. An exact date and precise location are not yet known, but nonetheless, Tyson said he's thrilled to be slated to mix it up with Floyd, who he hasn't always had the greatest relationship. Quote, this fight is something neither the world nor I ever thought would or could happen. That is correct. Fair play to Mike there. Iron Mike said, however, boxing has entered a new era of the unpredictable and this fight is as unpredictable as it gets. He's right. Do I like stuff like this? No, I didn't like the Jake Mike fight. I told you guys that I didn't think Mike should have been fighting then. I don't think he should be fighting now. I don't like the fact that Jake and Gervontae are fighting when Germante is a sitting champion. At least these two are retired. But this is is an indication, and I've said this over and over, of where boxing is, that this will probably have a ton of entry. But it's almost like the WWE rolling out Stone Cold Steve Austin or Rest in Peace Hulk Hogan whenever they need a big time pop and whenever they need to get the crowd energized because their current stars just aren't hitting the same. This is what boxing feels like right now. Boxing feels like Antiques Roadshow. Honestly, that, that this kind of stuff, that's what it feels like. And again, again, it's the spectacle, it's the entertainment value and it is the era of the unpredictable, as Mike says there. But it's not good. I can tell you that it is not good. This is why we need people like Turkey Ala Shake, Eddie Hearn, Oscar De La Hoya, hell, Dana White to come into boxing and fix this. Because stuff like this and Jake and Gervontae is kind of the norm now. Mike says. I still can't believe Floyd really wants to do this. He added, it's going to be detrimental to his health, but he wants to do it. So it's signed and it's happening. It's not even believed believable to hear Mike talk like that now because yes, 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago, he'd be right. But we saw Mike struggle to walk into the ring versus Jake. And yeah, Mike was dangerous enough for Jake not engage with him. But Jake not engaging with him just circled and jabbed his way to the ending of an exhibition where both guys get their hand raised and we all feel like, yeah, that wasn't a fight because clearly Mike is not the same. And clearly Jake did not want to take that extra step to try to actually put him away, especially later on. Do we think that this one's going to be any different? The answer is no. Floyd, even though he slowed down, even though he's much smaller, is going to run circles around Mike Tyson in this. Mike's gonna have real trouble even getting to the fight. If we saw the Jake Paul exhibition. Mike was hospitalized for a bit, then he had to take a lot of time off from training. Had a stomach ulcer. And then again the limping to the ring. Oh, man. The whole. Detrimental to his health. It's detrimental to Mike's health to even try to do this. The article keeps going, this fight will be an exhibition. So Mayweather isn't risking his perfect 500 record, though he doesn't sound concerned about Tyson in any way. I've been doing this for 30 years and there hasn't been a single fighter that can tarnish my legacy, Mayweather said. You already know that. If I'm gonna do something, it's gonna be big and it's gonna be legendary. Except the last five exhibition fights that no one watched watched, and that Floyd still found a way to extort them out of money. I still don't know how he made Mills doing those fights. Literally no one showed up to some of those. I can't even name some of the people he did exhibitions against. I'm the best in the business of boxing. This exhibition will give the fans what they want. No. No, it won't. I'm not gonna lie. I'm gonna watch this. I don't know about you guys, but the circus show is something that I'm gonna cover here. You may not like it and trust me, I don't either. But as a spectacle, and it'll be current news if it does actually happen. Happen, yeah, I'm gonna watch it and I'm probably gonna clown the shit out of it because at this point there's nothing else you can really do. You can't take it seriously. Especially again after the Jake and. And Mike fight. I definitely can't. I will say, I mean, Floyd does have experience now doing these exhibitions against bigger guys. He got used to it in the Logan exhibition. So at least there's that. And there is a good bit of bad blood back and forth between Floyd and Mike over the years. There's been some pretty choice words, more from Mike's side than any other side. But he has absolutely on multiple occ hold Floyd off. And, well, here's one of them.

[Rampage Jackson]

He said that he's better than Muhammad Ali. Yep, I'm better than Muhammad Ali. What do you think about Floyd talking about greater than Ali? He's very delusional. If he, if he was anywhere near that, that realm of great and Ali, he'd be able to take his kids to school by himself. Okay? He can't take. He can't take his kids to school by himself. And he talking about he's great. Greatness is not guarding itself from the people. Greatness is being accepted by the people. He can't take his kids alone to school by himself. He's a little scared man. He's a very small, scared man.

[YouTuber/Host]

This was about 10 years ago now, maybe more. And look at that look in Mike's eyes. That might, I mean, even by the way, if Mike Tyson rolled up on me right now, I'm still terrified. But that was a Mike Tyson that had violence in his eyes. And it was because of the way that Floyd talked about Mike's hero, Muhammad Ali. Mike had always said, said, let every head bow, let every tongue confess. Muhammad Ali is the greatest of all time. He always, always put Ali on that pedestal. So when Floyd was talking crazy about Ali, it got to Mike. If you could have fought any fighter, any era, who would you have picked that you would have liked to fight the most?

[Rampage Jackson]

Floyd Mayweather.

[YouTuber/Host]

I love it. Why?

[Rampage Jackson]

Huh?

[YouTuber/Host]

You want to knock him out? Why?

[Rampage Jackson]

I would love him before and I wish he was my weight.

[YouTuber/Host]

All right, interesting answer. There you have it. Mike definitely does not like Floyd. And I think it's mostly because the way Floyd called himself the greatest and maybe his style of fighting, a bit of his arrogance. But again, Mike was arrogant. Mike said some crazy shit back in his day and did some crazy shit. So Mike just feels like Floyd has disrespected Ali by calling himself the greatest. But let's see there. There's also a press release here from Fight Sports, the company that's supposedly putting this thing on. Set to meet in a once in a lifetime matchup of living. Levin, how many time are we going to year once in a lifetime matchup? I swear, we've heard it for so many different fights. I mean, it is true that this would never happen in any other lifetime. We're living in a simulations and this is only going to happen between these two once. But good Lord, find a different tagline. Global spectacle insert gfx. All right, man. They didn't put any GFX in their own press release. That's an instruction in their press release to insert some sort of video. Graphics. Graphics. They can't even get the press release right, man. Okay, so let's read some of the stuff from the actual promoters. Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather are two of the most compelling names and personalities with lasting legacies in all of sports. Blah, blah, blah. Tyson vs. Mayweather will break every broadcast, streaming and economic record set by Mike Tyson in 2020. 4. Okay. Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, that right there is a big statement that they're going to break every broadcast, streaming and economic record. So that would mean they're going to have to put it behind a, a Netflix esque streaming service I would assume because you're not breaking 150 million or whatever they did behind a pay per view wall. You can't, there's no shot. All right, so, so with that being said, what are my thoughts on this? As much as I've been a part of the ecosystem of the Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson, the Floyd Mayweather versus Logan Paul exhibition style fights. I know Jake versus Mike was a pro fight, but you get what I'm saying. And now with Jake and Gervonta Davis, now this one's a little different because Mike and Floyd are both retired. But I'm starting to see boxer like Gervonta Davis who is a sitting world champion, foregoing championship level fights in his own weight division to fight big money fight while still holding his belt. It does start to blur the lines between competitive boxing, real boxing per se, and these exhibition money making bouts. Because make no mistake, what I think is going to happen in this fight is very similar to what I think happened in the Jake and Mike fight and the Floyd and Logan fight. A whole lot of new nothing. You know what, I'll scratch that. Logan versus Floyd was actually somewhat entertaining because Logan went for it and in moments actually hit Floyd with some stuff and Floyd had to use his experience to overcome that. I don't know that Mike has the physical capability to quote unquote, go for. He might have one or two bursts in the system like his body just can't handle this anymore. And again I said this before the Jake fight, but it's even more evident after the fact. You have no delusions of grandeur here. You have no, no aura or mystique about what Mike still has left. We saw it, we saw eight rounds of it, it was pitiful and we talk about ruining legacies and I, I don't think that anything Mike could do in a ring right now would do that for me because I can choose to, to look back at the greatness Mike was and accept what this is for what this is. A different venture, a different avenue of his life, something completely separate from the highest level he was. But I do worry about, worry about this current generation of brand new boxing fans and there is a lot of them thanks to the revolution of boxing. The Jake Paul's, the Turkey Alice shakes, the ring magazines, the Dazz the Eddie Hearns, the Tyson Furies, the Anthony Joshua's, the Alexander Usyk's. This generation of boxing, it didn't get to see Mike in his prime, is going to look at this exhibition and go that, that's the guy that everybody feared, that Mike Tyson guy, he's old, slow and can't punch. He looks broken and beaten down. They're gonna look at him with pity because they've already seen it. They saw it in the Jake fight. I told you it was coming in the. And still you had to see it for yourself. It's like teaching a kid not to put their hand on a hot stove. You can tell them all you want. I can tell you this is not going to look good. I can tell you that it's going to be very sad to watch Mike go again. I can tell you that Mike shouldn't be doing it. And I say Mike, Mike, Mike because I've seen Floyd still be able to hold his own at 48. I don't really worry too much about Floyd here because Mike can't punch. There's nothing left in that tank. But again, just like that kid, he has to touch the stove to know it's hot. Even though you've told him, I told you guys before, the Jake, I'm telling you again, this is going to look bad. I'm going to watch it begrudgingly, but I'm going to. It's a damn shame. I will say that we have ended up in this place, but at the same time I just. What do you do if there's money out there and both Mike and Floyd are two consenting adults that want to go in there and do it? I can't really say anything. I hope both guys get paid. I hope Mike gets his whatever money he needs. But I wish he wouldn't have to fight or I wish there was another way for him to make that money, or I wish he had had enough money to not do this because there's going to be a section of the audience maybe it's bigger than I believe that look at this thing and go, damn, that used to be Mike Tyson. Damn, that used to be Floyd Mayweather. Now it's just two old men moving around in a ring and expecting us to believe their fight. Put the red nose on us all, I guess, and call it what it is. Welcome to the circus, folks. Mike Tyson will be fighting Floyd Mayweather. And as far as what happens during the fight, I'm going to tell you, I think I do have the answers this time. No one's going to get hurt, and I really don't want to see anyone get hurt. And it's going to look like two older men that are not. Not around the same weight, looking like ghosts and shadows of their former selves in an attempt to remain what they were to some degree and make some money. Ladies and gentlemen, this exhibition is gonna look ugly. Prepare yourselves for it because it's gonna be a major letdown. What happens next for Floyd and Mike? Does this fight actually even happen? I don't have those answers, so guess we'll find out. All right, so we are back on Wade concept presented by the Ring magazine. And folks, sometimes they say a picture is worth a thousand, thousand words. Well, I may have a few more than that today because Terence Crawford just dropped a body transformation that's making me question everything I thought about this fight between him and Canelo Alvarez. Next Saturday, live in Las Vegas, I'm gonna be doing a ton of stuff, including I think, a two day appearance at Radio Row in Las Vegas. I'm gonna be calling some fights on the Underdog Series in Las Vegas. I don't know about a live stream yet if we're going to be able to do that. I would like to here on the channel, but I don't. I don't. I genuinely am still trying to figure it out, so I'll let you guys know when I do. But regardless of what I'm doing on fight night, I know everything we'll all be doing is watching this historic matchup between Bud Crawford and Canelo. And Bud Crawford's not playing around. We've all been talking about what's he going to look like? Coming up to 168. And this new picture he just dropped shows that he might be a little bit more dangerous and a lot more of a problem than I thought for Canelo. What do I mean? The breakdown down. Let's go. All right, so first things first. Let me say this. I know that muscles don't win fights. And everybody, it seems like that says muscles don't win fights usually have ridiculous muscle mass. Like Devin Haney was like, muscles don't win. And Devin's like way bigger than Everybody else at 135lbs and jacked to the gills. That's that snack. Okay, we're not doing that. But Terence Crawford also on that snack. Anyway, Bud Crawford did just drop a body transformation pick. Let's take a look at. Look at it. Boom, son. I'm sorry, I have a flat tire. Does anyone have a jack to help Me. Oh, thank you. Bud Crawford. You're actually huge. The man has abs on his abs on his abs. I'm not trying to glaze, but that doesn't look like 147 pounder. It doesn't look like a 154 pounder. That looks like a grown man. He's definitely put some weight on. Coming to 168 pounds. And I can tell you that now. Take what I'm about to show you with a grain of salt because it is on weigh in day. But look at what he was at at 140 pounds. Now again, he's out of camp, hasn't made the weight cut yet, but that's him right now. But I mean, that is crazy. Couple of things, yes. Muscles don't win you fights. And the biggest question we have to ask now is how will this newfound muscle mass affect Bud Crawford in the fight? Because one of the things I have said continuously about this fight is that the weight issue has been completely overblown by people. And what I mean is there is not a massive weight disparity between these two fighters. What Canelo walks around at and what Terence Crawford walks around at is probably similar. And maybe Terence Crawford even weighs a little more. I don't know. I saw the picture of the scale of him at 186. It may be a little less when he's normally not trying to gain weight. But that's not the point of the weight difference. The point of saying there is a weight difference is that Canelo Alvarez has consistently fought and been successful at 160 to 168 to even 175. Outside of the Bivol fight, Canelo has had success at all those weight divisions and is familiar at those weight divisions. He is familiar not only with his opponents, their size and being able to handle fighting a bigger guy almost continuously throughout the last part of his career, but also his own strengths and weaknesses at those weights and at 168, to be specific, because that's where this fight's going to be. He knows how to manage a fight there. He knows how to keep that weight on. He knows how to perform at that weight class and still be powerful and retain speed. This is not me saying Terence Crawford can't do that. The question just has to be asked. How does he prepare pair with this newfound weight, with this newfound physique? It's not like he put the weight on incorrectly. He still looks shredded. The man lives in Omaha and he's making me jealous because I don't even know if he has to register those two guns. California, we're too lived up out here. So it does look like Crawford and his team. I don't know if it's a nutritionist. He's working with some Victor Conte issued supplements. Regardless of what it is, Terrence has taken this seriously. And if you're a Canelo fan, you better look at this and say, oh, he didn't just put on some weight that he's going to have to carry around and lug around. He didn't just eat a bunch of burgers and ice cream and french fries and other stuff like that. That was going to help him put on the weight but not do so efficiently. It looks like a tailor made program for him to keep his speed and potentially stay as light as possible, as lean as possible, like we're seeing here, and start to build his power. One of the biggest questions that I've had, I think that a lot of people have had that is can Terence Crawford gain the respect of Canelo as far as his punching power is concerned? Can he back Canelo up? Can he stop Canelo from coming forward? Can he make Canelo reset action or get out of the pocket? Even when those exchanges do eventually come, and they will. This is not like Canelo fighting super jacked up William Skull, who used those muscles for nothing but show. There was no go. He looked like spongebob when he got the anchor arms. This is Terence Crawford looking to counter punch in the pocket, looking to snipe you as soon as you miss. He's going to make you pay with 1, 2, 3, 4 punches. And now looking as brolic as he does, those two or three punches behind that jab are going to be devastating. He went from Bud Crawford to Stud Crawford and now he's going to be looking to land that check right hand over the top and then bang the left hand behind it. And there's going to be some heat on those shots. It's going to be powerful. And that's when I want to see out of Terence Crawford. This is what. When I look at this picture and why I say a picture could be worth a thousand words, it does make me rethink a little bit about the power that Terrence can bring into this fight. Because no one has even so much as wobbled Canelo in his career. For Terrence to do it would be an insurmountable feat. It would be insane. It would be historic. It would be legacy making. Not just to get the win, but if he actually hurt Canelo. And mind you, Terence Crawford did all this while he's older than Canelo as well. So he is having to fight age and come up and wait. We've talked about all the sacrifices he's making just to have this fight happen. The weight, the size, the no rehydrate, all of it. But he's doing it the right way. And this is what if. If you are a Canelo fan, you start to wonder, okay, well, if Canelo, who in my opinion his biggest path to victory is hurting Terence Crawford and shutting down some of that counter punching by hitting with big shots and being a devastating puncher behind his feet and behind his jab, he has to lead the action. I think Canelo has to be on the front foot as well. If that's not the case and he can't back Terence Crawford up, then we get into a boxing contest in the 50 50s at range. I think Terence Crawford may have an advantage there. Right. He's not going to throw just one punch at a time. He's not going to look to just pot shot with Canelo. When Canelo throws those big sweeping hooks or he throws one shot at a time or he double jabs and then right hand stand there, look for something else. Crawford is going to be looking to throw combinations and you know, we talk about the angle changes and we'll see again, we will see if he can still move like that as he comes up in weight because we do have have weight classes for a reason. And terrence Moving to 168, this is probably the perfect person for him to fight at 168 because Canelo is not a big dude there. But it's more like I said, about the weight that Terrence carries and how he carries into this fight because he may be explosive, he may be fast, he may be again light on his feet for the first six to seven rounds and that may be enough for him to get a lead and win a decision. But what happens if we see a Canelo vs Billy Joe Saunders esque type of play performance? Go back to that Billy Joe fight and how Billy Joe was catching Canelo with left hands over the top. He was countering him. He was dancing on Canelo a little bit, but little by little he started to slow down, his hands started to fall by his hips and Canelo walked him down and eventually broke his freaking eye bone or orbital socket or whatever it was and won that fight. I'm not saying that Billy Joe is Terence Crawford. So I don't want to hear people in the comic session going, I can't believe you called Terence Crawford a belly Joe. So how could you? They're not even the same caliber of generational. It's not what I said, it's not what I meant. All I'm saying is if you aren't able to keep that pace, if you aren't able to withstand that level of activity and keeping Canelo at bay, eventually that tidal wave starts to be too much. Terrence may be able to do that. He's different than all the other guys Canelo has fought at 168 pounds. I can guarantee you that as far as his mentality, as far as his work ethic, as far as far as his skill, as far as his experience, Taren's better than all of them, point blank, period. So it will be a new test for Canelo as well. But I will admit, as much as I think Canelo is going to win this fight, this picture in a vacuum, it's not just about all the muscles and chiseled and everything else from Terence Crawford. It shows me how serious he took putting on the weight, which in turn shows me how serious he is taking this fight, which should lead me and you to believe that he won't leave any stone unturned here. If he does happen to lose, it will just be because Canelo was better on the night. But it won't be because Terence Crawford didn't put everything into his preparation for this fight. It won't be because Terence Crawford slacked off or didn't bring his A game or didn't prepare the right way or wasn't at his best. And I want to say that for a couple of reasons, we aren't going to give Terence Crawford all the credit in the world should he beat Canelo Alvarez, because he deserves that. Coming up, the two, three, really, in my opinion, weight classes, putting on the way, no rehydration, all the things we've talked about. But if we get the best version of Terence Crawford, which is what it looks like, we are getting, a guy that's not cutting weight, that has been in the weight room, that has put on the muscle, is looking to land big power in this fight, clearly. I mean, you don't put on those muscles to be a Finesse fighter at 68. You put on those muscles to take power and to give it back. Then if Canelo is to win this, then I think the credit for him also goes up. As much as it is a legacy maker fight for Terence Crawford, it would add to the legacy of Canelo Alvarez for sure. Because I don't see a reason we don't get an A plus. Terence Crawford here. I don't see him slacking off. I don't see him taking this lightly. I don't see him cutting any corners. It looks like the work has been put in to the highest degree and that should scare Canelo fans just a little bit. You don't have to be convinced that Terror Trafford is going to win, but you better be ready for the fact that Canelo's fighting a guy that wasn't as small as as you thought. Better be ready for the fact that Terence Crawford may take that power from Canelo. He may be able to for 12 rounds. I don't know. He may be able to throw some power back and get Canelo to slow down or become more stagnant like we've seen some guys be able to do to Canelo. Combination punching in the phone booth. Make you miss, make you pay. I mean, Terence Crawford is going to trigger. As soon as Canelo throws a right hand or a left hook, there's going to be something coming over the top. If Terrance sees it and gets out of the way, that's how he likes to fight. Again, the questions that we won't get the answers to until fight night or two, just simply can he sustain that at 168? Do the punches have as much effect on Canelo Alvarez to stop Canelo from marching forward, from putting big time power on a guy that's not used to the weight class and is fighting at a completely different physique? And ultimately what will be the difference maker? What will be the thing that decides who wins this fight? Will it be something we didn't anticipate? Like Terence Crawford rocking Canelo with some big punches and putting him on the back foot and potentially even stopping Canelo? I don't foresee that. Would it be Canelo going back to 160 pound Canelo and using, using his feet and his jab and his head movement and his defense all put together to be a clean boxing decision. I, I don't know. I don't expect that. I expect both guys to do what they're best at. Canelo coming forward, throwing power punches, looking for finishes late in fights. Terence Crawford looking for counter shots in the pocket with little sweet science boxing technique, head movements to get off center, fireback with combinations, get off center, fireback with combinations. Angles, angles, angles, angles. Everything that Terence does and everything that Canelo does, Terrence tries to counter. And every time Crawford stays in the pocket to counter Canelo, Canelo hits him with even harder power punches. But this picture, this picture tells me that we got a 5050 fight on our hands. Ladies and gentlemen, that as much as I want to talk about how the weight classes are different, the go to line of boxing is that weight classes are there for a reason. Terence Crawford may have the exact same thing Canelo had, which is a skill and ability, a talent so good that he can defy the odds. Gods of the weight class, Manny Pacquiao did it, Floyd Mayweather did it, Canelo Alvarez has done it, Roy Jones did it, and Terence Crawford do it. And can he do it against one of the greatest of all time? But I keep hearing this, the same thing from every, every outlet. Every. Every fighter that's either trained with or fought against Terence Crawford, they keep saying the same thing. And when I saw this picture today, I started to believe it. I'm not wavering on my fight choice. I'm still sticking with Canelo. But all those fighters said the same thing. And I don't know if there's like a group message on WhatsApp that they're all talking to, but if there isn't, then it should tell you how true this is about Terence Crawford. They all said weight classes are in boxing for a reason. And a good big guy usually always beats a good little guy. But in this fight, there is no small guys. And if anyone can do it, Terence Crawford can. As you see this video, we are officially one week away from Canelo Alvarez and Bud Crawford. And this transformation should tell you more than my words ever could. Terence Crawford will absolutely be ready for canelo. Alvarez, at 168 pounds, transformed himself. And the things we looked at as weaknesses may actually be strength. So comment section, let me know down below if you're a Canelo fan. Does this concern you? If you're a Bud fan, are you starting to get more confident in your pick right now? Honestly, I'm a little confused. That shocked me seeing that picture, seeing how big he has gotten, because I think it's a good thing. But I do wonder how it'll affect him in the later fights. I wonder how that muscle mass may and potentially can slow him down if he's not used to holding. But listen, I still don't know what happens in this fight. I. I truly don't have the answers. So one week from now, in the middle of Las Vegas Allegiant Stadium, Canelo Alvarez, Terrence Crawford. Who wins? Guess we'll find out. Hey, this is Matt Jones and I'm Drew Franklin and this is NFL Covers Zero. We're just here to try to give you an NFL perspective a little bit different. Did you see the Colts pretzel?
