Thank you , yeah , I've been . I've been like it's like I'm chasing Tio bro , kind of like you were chasing Ortiz . Yeah , ortiz , I said that .

Yeah , I'm going to see what I can do with a certain special fighter .

See if we can collab and make some stuff happen . Nice , nice , who is that special fighter ?

Can we get a hint For me to know guys , ah man , here we go , yo yo . How was the Is what it Is podcast , how was that shit ? Nah , that was cool man , that was cool . Bass and Cameron , yeah , they funny . Them niggas is funny , right , they hilarious , they hilarious , they straight New York niggas for real , though .

No , for real , I mean , I'll be real , though . They don't know too much about boxing , but they smoke . They're funny guys though .

Yeah , yeah , yeah . Nah , they try their best , though they entertaining as fuck , though they entertaining as fuck they really are . That's a fact .

We're entertaining too . We're just not as famous Yo . So yo , I just want to thank you first of all for for for trying all this . I never had these issues and you should see me bugging out um , and , and I won't take up too much of your time , I just have a few questions that that have as an undisputed champion , right , you yourself ?

It's a tough one , it's a really tough one . Bivol is very good with his punch count and better be if I him like . Slow him down .

Two very disciplined dudes . That's the main reason I wanted to have you on . I wanted to hear what you had to say about that . Can I give you who I got , what you got , if the ring is small ? I got to see what this ring size is . I don't know . I don't know .

I'm rocking with Arthur . I'm rocking with that power , baby , that power going to slow down that boxing ? I don't think he , because he's not going to be able to do what he did to Canelo .

No , I don't know , I don't think so , I think Shoot , yeah , I would say .

Ben abuse . Yeah , man , I'm fucking with it , I'm fucking with it .

I will say this though Biffle's got good footwork , his jab is crazy . You know what you just fought ? You just fought , you just fought . You just were not in camp , but you were with Canelo . Right , you were training with Canelo . What is Canelo's next move ?

to be real , like when um , I don't like to really get in deep , in depth with fighters like that , whatever they plan to do . They plan to do . Okay , I get you . I guess I'm just , uh , I like , I like to really just learn and just us exchange knowledge yeah , what we've learned through the game .

What was the ? What was it ? I try to keep it simple . In in that camp , what was the crazy or not camp ? I keep saying camp . I'm sorry you got me starstruck , my bad . I showed you In that training with him what were some wrinkles . He showed you that you were like what the hell ? I never seen something like this .

I think just what he reminded me of truly was the amount of consistency they use on one tactic and they'll overdo it throughout the whole day , maybe throughout the whole week , and then they'll switch it to something different . So their regimen on being persistent with their style is immaculable , like it's really good , it's strong .

That's good , man , that's good .

And then , and then the other thing was what was the other thing ? The other thing was just how , when you're sticking the ropes , how you , you gotta he was telling me how to like turn , how to like just bend over , like duck down , so to speak , and then turn the guy . Awesome .

Did you spar with him at all or not ?

No , we just did . All we did really was just escuelita that's what they call it .

Translate for me . Translate for me I'm a gringo , it's just school , school boxing . Okay , okay , cool cool .

Yeah , so it's not in no real contact or anything of that sort , it's just more of like I was saying earlier , just him being more . You know , the mobility , okay , awesome .

Awesome . All right so you heard it here first at the sparring he's picking better beers . Man , we rocking with you , we rocking with you , we rocking with you . Listen , nothing against Bivel , though . Nothing against Bivel .

So you ain't gonna get , you ain't gonna get into the real questions , because right now you got your favorite fighter on the fucking phone right now .

I got a million real questions . Alright , alright , get you something that you want to know

On a personal level .

When you beat the hell out of Lomachenko , right , when you beat the hell out of Lomachenko , I lost friends , Seriously . I lost friends because I went crazy Right here at the spa . I went nuts . When you beat the hell out of Lomachenko , were you a little disheartened ? The respect you got from Bob Ar , Bob Aarone and Top Rank Like I saw it ?

Yeah , yeah , like Nobody really celebrated , my team did Of course , of course .

They was fucking upset out there . They was fucking tight .

And is there any animosity going forward now with Top Rank BaBe Room ? All of them ? No , no , no , none going forward .

Nothing at all , really . Everything that's moving forward is just business .

Okay .

I think that it's better than really getting to know the staff again and really becoming more personal , bringing them to family events or anything like that . I think that's long overdue and I'd rather just with them , strictly do everything through business .

That's how you got to keep that shit . You got to keep it Definitely . That's how you have to keep your real family , like that too sometimes .

No , truthfully , because a lot of these promoters and managers , people in the boxing industry , they really want to be friendly and get to really truly know you and your family and everybody and go to events just so they can spy , so to speak . Yeah , and that's just . There's no need for that , you know , if it's business , it's business .

As you know . As you know , that's a fact . All right , I just got a few more questions . I'll let you go . Thank you again . I'm sorry for the inconvenience . I'm sorry , I'm starstruck because I'm an idiot . You're good , nick man , we ain't sparring man , we sparring .

You should have seen me , man .

I was running around he was fucking bugging . But yo , when you were training for Josh Taylor , right , when you were training for Josh Taylor , there was speaking of spies . There was people from ESPN and Top Rank coming to your camp seeing how you were doing because they were a little concerned about you because of the prior stuff that happened .

Oh was one . His name was ivan um . Ivan was a very good sparring partner for me . He's south palm , he's under split team management and , uh , definitely , he definitely helped me a lot in that camp , um . And then I had a few other ones , but nothing . That was really .

Grego , I'll find it . Oh , you about to search that motherfucker up he's a 47 pounder .

Okay , yeah , I think he got one loss like 20-something wins . Okay , he's got a good amount of knockouts in his record too , under his belt . Okay yeah , I think he was like 160 , 165 when I was sparring him .

What are you walking out of right now ?

Right now I'm at 152 , 151 . Two pounds away , yeah , Two pounds away . Yeah , I'm not too far away from my weight right now , but I might go up in weight . We'll see how things progress .

That's what I meant . I meant two pounds away , 154 .

Yeah , ah , here we go , here he go .

So , all right , enough of all that . I just want to be honest . So they call me and I don't mean this , no , diddy a teosexual , right ? I hope you got your headphones on , because I don't want the people on the plane to hear this , but this is my Gervonta sexual . He is a tank sexual right here .

I heard the respect you gave him . Though you gave him respect . You was like yo , somebody's going to get knocked out . He's like I'll fight him , somebody's going to get knocked out .

I was going to ask . The back and forth between you and Gervonta is more like fun boxing back and forth .

There's a lot of respect there , correct ? No , I just there's a time and place to promote and when I was on , it Is what it Is . I just wanted to promote the fight to make it seem like it's a 50-50 . Okay .

In my regard . You know who my money's on . You know who my money's on .

Yeah , we're going to have a little feud here , yeah , yeah .

So wait , wait After me and Tate if that happens , whenever it happens . Right yeah , are you guys still going to be in the podcast together ?

Yeah , yeah , yeah , maybe .

Maybe , so I got to admit to you . Maybe I got to admit to you so I met him . I met Willie right like three years ago at the boxing gym right Native boxing , and when I met Willie man I was , you know I'm coming in with I got like 20 TO shirts . Everyone who follows the podcast knows I'm TO . I've been .

like .

TO man and I'm like man , shut the fuck up . I've been getting in battles and you know how it is in a gym . You know , as the token white guy in a boxing gym , I've been getting that right .

You got to show the . You're not even pointing at nobody . I'm not even pointing at nobody . I've been backing TO from day one , yeah , from day one man .

But I'm the one that made him start the shit . I told him to start it . I'm like yo , you always talking boxing . Start your podcast , man , like you know . And then look , look , look , where he at now talking to his favorite fighter .

He didn't fucking thank me for this shit , like we don't get paid for this . You know , I just peep . That being said , though , you are really under someone's skin , you , you are really under someone's skin .

Damn . No , that's crazy though he's trying to do what Loma did with me . He's trying to do what Loma did with me , but at least Loma told me to fight a world champion . Madri Mova ain't a champion .

What's the point ? You're right . You're right , I think I think .

I think , why are you trying to marinate and take too long ? You want me to show you something ?

I've been showing you guys something you so I love and you say what's on your mind , right or wrong . You know I don't agree with everything , right or wrong , you say what's on your mind . My best argument for you is resumes matter . Resumes speak volumes . Right , you beat Lomachenko in his prime . Nobody wanted Lomachenko .

Your pops is as cool as a motherfucker , too . Your pops is as cool as a motherfucker .

You did the same thing . I appreciate that . You did the same thing with Josh Taylor and , I'm not gonna lie , I was a little worried . I was ringside . I was like , alright , alright , I'm sorry , we'll turn it off , we'll turn it on . And then you did the same thing with Josh Taylor .
