David, I want you to know you are in the 3 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,560 year and a half i've been working on this podcast. My first three time 4 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,760 guest is does not get you any kind of special bonus. However, thank 5 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,640 you very much for doing this. How's everything going getting ready for your big 6 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,719 fight? Yeah, it's going good. Man. Then I just want to 7 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,879 tell you thank you. I respect you. You know, you're one of 8 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,519 the top sports shrinkers in boxing for a long long time, so it's definitely 9 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,039 an honor to be on here. And I feel good, man, I 10 00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:36,640 feel amazing. You know, every camp has been I've been getting stronger and 11 00:00:36,679 --> 00:00:40,960 stronger, faster and faster. I'm even getting more experience. So now for 12 00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:43,399 this fight, you know, we got another tough competitor, you know, 13 00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:48,159 a lefty guy that moves around a lot. People saying that he's an outbox 14 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,200 mean, just like they said Caleb Planne was gonna outbox me. But you 15 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,039 know, I feel like I'm just on a different level than these guys, 16 00:00:55,159 --> 00:00:57,520 you know, and then I'm going to continue to show it, you know, 17 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,000 he has a lot of experience, but I have a lot of experien 18 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,840 myself too, the professional for ten years. I've been working with high class 19 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,359 fighters when I was sparring with them when I was thirteen years old. So 20 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,959 you know, I have a lot of tricks out my sleeves too. But 21 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,480 I've been working hard. Man. This is this is the fight where it 22 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,359 gets closer and closer. Every fight gets close and closer the Canela fight. 23 00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:21,000 So I just got to, you know, stay working hard, stay motivated, 24 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,640 and you know, I'm very excited going to show the fans what I 25 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,640 got to offer this fight November twenty fifth. Well, I should probably mention 26 00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:30,680 that we're talking about the undefeated Demetrius Andre, a two division world champion in 27 00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:34,319 the junior middleweight and the middleweight division, now boxing in the super middleweight division. 28 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,239 In this fight will take place, of course, November twenty fifth, 29 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,239 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, live on Showtime pay per view. 30 00:01:41,719 --> 00:01:44,719 And when I was thinking about, you know, the types of thoughts about 31 00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:47,519 this fight in my mind, I was looking at your record and now early 32 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,560 on, you know, you beat a couple of undefeated guys way back, 33 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,920 you know, when they were like two and oh and that type of thing, 34 00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:56,079 and one fighter that was not a top guy, but I think maybe 35 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,959 it was about twelve and oh. But this is before you were a top 36 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,760 contender, you know, or at the championship level. This is gonna be 37 00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:06,359 the first guy that you faced that is undefeated, that's also an elite fighter. 38 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,759 And I wonder when you go into a match like this and he's never 39 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,599 lost before, obviously you've never lost before either, is there like added motivation 40 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,759 just to be the guy that takes the O because so many times today's boxing 41 00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:21,560 at the top level, it seems like fighters are are sometimes unwilling to risk 42 00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:24,560 that perfect record against another, you know, top guy who's also undefeated. 43 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,639 Yeah, it's definitely gives me more motivation to be the first one to say 44 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,560 that, yeah, I beat Demetrius, and it gives me more motivation to 45 00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:38,919 go in there and to do basically put the to have the fighting look the 46 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,639 way I want to have. You know, I think I'm gonna go in 47 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:45,199 there's gonna be a landslide either I stop him late or it's gonna be a 48 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,840 dominating performance. So I mean, I've been working extremely hard and you know, 49 00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:51,520 he's undefeated, So I'm gonna be the first one to say that. 50 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,759 I could be the first one to say that I beat Demetris Andres. So 51 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,680 that definitely gives me more of a motivation as well. So he, as 52 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,599 I mentioned, he's a two division world champion, he will he's undefeated. 53 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,680 As we talked about, here's the United States Olympian. He's a world amateur 54 00:03:02,719 --> 00:03:07,039 champion, got a lot of accolades, but hasn't had the big fight yet 55 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,759 as a professional. You are his big fight so far, and I know 56 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,240 from talking in previously that without question, this would be his biggest win. 57 00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:16,520 Do you think that this would be your biggest win? You've got some good 58 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,759 wins, but I don't know if I think that Plants a bigger win than 59 00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:23,800 this one would be. What do you think about that? Yeah, I 60 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,080 think it'd be a bigger win, definitely. I feel like every fight is 61 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,960 getting harder and harder, but that's better for me. So I feel like 62 00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:31,840 the more I go up in the ranks, the better fighters I fight and 63 00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:37,439 the better fighters I beat. So you're a guy between this fight that's coming 64 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,639 up in November twenty fifth, your last fight in March against Plant that will 65 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,199 have had. You had two fights this year, both against top level fighters 66 00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:50,759 at the upper echelon of your weight class, both guys who are former world 67 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,360 champions. One loss between them that was Plants, you know, a loss 68 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,479 to Canelo, and you take pride. I mean, a lot of guys, 69 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,039 they even when they fight twice, it's one maybe big time fight and 70 00:04:02,039 --> 00:04:04,759 one like a little bit of a lesser fight. You seem to me at 71 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,759 least this year anyway that I can think of, is the is the the 72 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,439 only guy at the top level of the sport who's taken on two top guys 73 00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:15,600 in a row in the same year, back to back without like a lesser 74 00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:19,879 touch. Let's say in there, Does that give you pride that you're willing 75 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,680 to do that and why are you different than some of these other cats? 76 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,120 Yeah, that definitely gives me pride because I just want to show everybody that, 77 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,920 you know, I'm willing to risk at all to prove myself to the 78 00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:32,879 fans. At the end of the day, I want to prove myself to 79 00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:35,439 the fans and to myself that I am the best in this division. And 80 00:04:35,439 --> 00:04:39,439 the only way I do that is going up against the top opposition. Also 81 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,360 I've been professional for the for ten years now. I turned pro when I 82 00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:45,519 was sixteen, and I feel like that was just the groundwork to give me 83 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,160 to where I'm at now. You know that for ten years, It's not 84 00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:50,000 like I was fighting killers. You know, my career really start picking off 85 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,079 the past five years. So now that I got all the experience and now 86 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,319 it is just time to, you know, really go off to the big 87 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,040 guys and fight the best of the best and beat the best of the best. 88 00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:01,319 So this fight's a high class fight. I don't think anybody's going to 89 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,240 dispute that really interesting matchup different styles, of course, But I wonder before 90 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,439 this fight was finalized, this was not like a rumor mill thing. This 91 00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:14,160 was your promoter, Samson Luca was saying. So this was David Morrell's promoter 92 00:05:14,519 --> 00:05:16,920 or co promoter, Liam Margerley is saying, so to me that the two 93 00:05:16,959 --> 00:05:20,319 sides had reached an agreement that you guys would fight each other, and it 94 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,199 didn't happen. And I was wondering, why did that fight not happen, 95 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,600 even though of course you got a good fight in front of you with Andre. 96 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,680 What happened with the Morrell fight that seemed like that was first on the 97 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,040 agenda, at least for your promoter and for his promoter. Well, yeah, 98 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:39,560 they never talked to me about that. There was on there promotionless, 99 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,600 but I never got to fight myself. You know. I was trying to 100 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,680 go out after Mugia first and then Demetrisandre. The reason so because they're more 101 00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:50,319 established. Yeah, I feel like these guys are more established in the boxing. 102 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,079 That's why I want to go after David Morrell. He has like ten 103 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,560 fights. He's a good fighter. Don't get me wrong. I don't want 104 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,040 to take anything away from he's a great fighter, but I feel like that 105 00:05:59,079 --> 00:06:04,040 fight comes later. Well yeah, I mean Samson could say whatever he wants, 106 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,600 but at the end of the day, we do what I want to 107 00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:08,519 do, you know, and I want to get these fights. I want 108 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,120 to get these guys out the way and then we get more out the way. 109 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,279 Yeah, I mean, I don't listen. I mean, like like 110 00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:15,199 you said, I mean, if you're fighting Andre, great fight. If 111 00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:16,000 you're fighting Morell, great fight. So to me, it was sort of 112 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,959 like, okay, as long as you're fighting another you know, interesting matchup. 113 00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:24,759 So the thing about this fight also between yourself and Demetrius in comparison to 114 00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:27,319 when you were getting ready to fight against Kayleb Plant. I mean, you 115 00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:29,600 know this, you were in the fight, tons of trash talk, a 116 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,639 lot of bad blood, tons of disrespect, you know, a lot of 117 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,680 bad words between everybody on both teams. Seems totally different between yourself and Demetrius. 118 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,079 I know you're both competitors. You both obviously want to win and take 119 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,079 the other guy out, but respectful at the press conference, you know, 120 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,480 complimentary of one another, of each each other's accomplishments. Why is there such 121 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,240 a difference in the way that both of you seem to be approaching this fight 122 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,079 in terms of the outside of the ring business compared to the way it was 123 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,480 between yourself and Plant. It's because with me, to be honest with you, 124 00:06:57,519 --> 00:07:00,600 I'm not really gonna go after a fighter like that in disrespect fighter until 125 00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:02,519 I get disrespected first. If I feel like there's tension in that way, 126 00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:06,439 then I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna protect myself for you know, 127 00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:11,560 defend myself as a man. The way I seen Demetrius, he was cool, 128 00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:14,360 calm, collective. He's never said nothing bad about me. I've never 129 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,680 said nothing bad about him. So we're professionals at the end of the day, 130 00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:18,839 you know, I'm not, you know, And at the end of 131 00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:20,879 the day, we got to show the kids too. You don't always got 132 00:07:20,879 --> 00:07:24,160 to have a big be for talk shit. You know, at the end 133 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,399 of the day, this is professional sports. We're both gentlemen, and we 134 00:07:27,439 --> 00:07:29,560 could we could take it the other way. And I'm still gonna try and 135 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,439 knock him out. I'm just gonna try to take his head off. That 136 00:07:30,439 --> 00:07:35,000 doesn't that doesn't change at all. But the way we could conduct ourselves outside 137 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,240 I mean, one fight acting like this, it kind of shows everybody that 138 00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:42,040 you know, boxing is a classic sport. This is a sport of gentlemen. 139 00:07:42,279 --> 00:07:45,720 It doesn't always have to be shit talking or bad blood this and that, 140 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,439 because at the end of the day, if you're sometimes all that bad 141 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,879 blood, it might lead to a fight before the fight and it focks everything 142 00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:56,240 up, you know what I mean. So we don't want that to happen. 143 00:07:56,279 --> 00:07:58,480 And you know, I don't want to mess my money up. He 144 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,920 doesn't want to mess his money up. And we'll both want to go back 145 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,759 home to our families after and you know, that's how it has to be. 146 00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:07,720 You know, we conducted ourselves like gentlemen and professionals. So one thing 147 00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:11,000 I also found interesting about this is just the fact that your brother, your 148 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,959 older brother, Jose Junior, he's going to be on this card. Also 149 00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:18,519 he's taken on Jamal Charlot, who's returning to the ring for the first time 150 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,040 in two and a half years. He's the WBC Middleway champion, although this 151 00:08:20,079 --> 00:08:24,160 is going to be a non title fight and his fight takes place right before 152 00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:28,480 your main event, at least the way they announced the show, And I 153 00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:31,399 wondered, do you get a little nervous with your brother also on the card 154 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,919 where you know, I mean, you're gonna be concerned about how his result 155 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,440 goes. And also the fact that because your father, Jose Sr. Trains 156 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,919 you, trains him, that he's going to be busy in the ring with 157 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:46,559 your brother taking care of his fight as you're in the dressing room in the 158 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:52,159 final preparations for what's a very big fight for yourself. Yeah, So, 159 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,159 to be honest, I do get nervous. I gotta get more nervous to 160 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,759 my brother than from my own fights. I don't get nervous from my fights, 161 00:08:56,799 --> 00:09:01,279 but for him, I think it's just that no control of what happens 162 00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:03,720 with him. You know, he you know obviously, but he's been working 163 00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:07,840 extremely hard, and I feel like this is a great you know, this 164 00:09:07,879 --> 00:09:09,799 is a great comeback. I'm not comeback fight. This is a great opportunity 165 00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:13,440 for him. H And I feel like my brother's gonna I feel like he's 166 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,840 gonna knock Charlo out. You know, everybody says I'm crazy, but you 167 00:09:16,879 --> 00:09:20,440 know, I've been seeing my brothers. I've been smart with him, and 168 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,799 he's looking really good. So I think that's how it's gonna go. But 169 00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:26,799 my dad has his assistant trainers that I could be working in the back, 170 00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:31,080 you know, doing mites, warming up by the time he's finished. And 171 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,200 I will say this, you know, me and Demetris have conducted themselves like 172 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,639 gentlemen. But I think my brother and Charlo they might go hid it at 173 00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:39,159 the press conferences. They might get a little spicy. I think you're right, 174 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,919 that's gonna be That's yeah, that's gonna be a good fight too. 175 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,120 I'm very excited for that fight, and it's gonna be a great fight. 176 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,120 I can't wait to see it. Well, I guess you can't really have 177 00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:48,759 a bene vidia's on a car and have no ship talk. Right, that 178 00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:52,840 doesn't work. Yeah, you mentioned I want to wrap up with this. 179 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,559 Uh. You mentioned earlier about that you still hope, of course, to 180 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,519 get a shot at Canelo Alvarez. He of course is the underspeed champion in 181 00:10:00,519 --> 00:10:05,240 your weight division. You are the WBC's interim title holder. You'll be his 182 00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:09,519 mandatory challenger eventually, obviously, if you keep winning your defenses here now, 183 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,600 Before you even fought Caleb Plant, my perspective was, and I think that 184 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,159 of many boxing media and boxing fans, was that you were the big fight 185 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:22,039 for Canelo, the defense He had other things he did. He ended up 186 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,200 fighting the other Charlote brother when the brother, Jamal, was unable to do 187 00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:30,399 so. I was hopeful, as were many, that you guys would obviously 188 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,559 fight each other in this spot. That obviously is not happening. Maybe next 189 00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:37,960 year. But I keep thinking to myself that you are I think the guy 190 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,000 that most people says is like the legit number one contender, Dimitrius is there 191 00:10:43,039 --> 00:10:45,200 also, and that the winner of the fight between the two of you guys 192 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,320 is going to be the clear cut I call him the people's mandatory whatever sanctioning 193 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,360 Body says, do you agree with that? And and how likely in your 194 00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:56,080 mind you think is that, because of course you're both with PBC, that 195 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:01,320 he will fight you next year. I definitely, I do have a feeling 196 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,960 that he's gonna fight me next year. But like I said, we're gonna 197 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,799 stay focused on what we gotta do, and we gotta stay working, and 198 00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:09,480 i gotta come out and I'm gonna look good in this fight, and that's 199 00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:13,120 exactly what I'm gonna do. But I just feel like I'm just knocking out 200 00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:16,919 everybody down. I mean, there's nobody else that one sixty eight that the 201 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,559 people want to see Canelo fight. You know, I've been a mandatory for 202 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:24,440 the past two years. You know, I won the title eliminator first and 203 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,039 I went into the belt and I'm still haven't got to fight. I just 204 00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:30,080 feel like, you know, the people want to see this fight. But 205 00:11:30,159 --> 00:11:33,960 it's fine if I gotta take everybody out, you know, the top five 206 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,919 contenders and the one sixty away class, That's exactly what I'm gonna do. 207 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,399 I'm not going nowhere, and at the end of the day, I become 208 00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:41,840 more dangerous because I'm getting more experienced. This is my second pay per view 209 00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:45,639 fight. There's big fights for me, big crowd. So I'm you know, 210 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,279 I'm really getting used to this and I'm I'm very comfortable right now. 211 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,200 So whenever that fight happens, I'm gonna be more than ready. And I 212 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,720 feel like it's gonna happen next year. I want to ask you this one 213 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,840 more thing what I just thought of, and I forgot to ask you earlier. 214 00:11:56,039 --> 00:11:58,600 You mentioned that you thought you're gonna just go in there and knock Dimitrius 215 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,000 out, and I under a You mentioned he's south paw, he's got a 216 00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:07,240 great background, experienced, and I wonder, how how is that like the 217 00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:11,039 style wise that you deal with the southpaw style, the technical style, because 218 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,840 your styles are so much different. You're a guy that's obviously a pressure fighter, 219 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,879 a lot of knockouts, a brawler showing a great chin, but he 220 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,039 used that technique, maybe not the biggest puncher, although he's got a ton 221 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,799 of knockdowns. How do you think that that? What is it that you 222 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,279 say that you believe in yourself that you're just gonna be able to basically go 223 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,320 in there and just get rid of them that easily. The way you make 224 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,440 it sound, well, no, I didn't. I didn't. I didn't 225 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,240 mean it like that. It's gonna be a tough fight, you know. 226 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,279 I think this is just my ego taking over. But obviously I know it's 227 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,320 gonna be a hard fight. I gotta go in there. I gotta cut 228 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,159 the distance. I gotta attack the body. I gotta throw a lot of 229 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,440 combinations, you know. I gotta, you know, cut the distance with 230 00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:48,879 the jab. But I didn't you just basically do what I always do, 231 00:12:48,039 --> 00:12:50,279 you know, start at the head end, at the body, cut the 232 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,200 ring off. We you know what he's gonna do. But if he wants 233 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,279 to brawl, we could go that way too. I mean, at the 234 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,279 end of the day, I feel like I'm the bigger, stronger, I'm 235 00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:03,279 the more NAT one s eight pounder, you know. I I think I'm 236 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,559 faster. I'm definitely stronger. So I don't know, we're gonna We're gonna 237 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,639 see what's gonna happen. The thing about me is that this every camp I 238 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,799 have their tremendous camp. So I go into these fights with so much confidence. 239 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,000 You know, I've done twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen rounds, 240 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,279 three four five different sporting partners. So I have tremendous confidence. If it's 241 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,039 gonna happen in the first if it's gonna if I'm gonna hurt them the first 242 00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:30,000 couple round, I'm gonna the first couple rounds. He definitely is gonna get 243 00:13:30,039 --> 00:13:33,039 hurt in this fight. It's just that, you know, we gotta do. 244 00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:35,440 We gotta do what we gotta do. We gotta cut the distance, 245 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,559 we gotta put them in the uncomfortable situations and catch them with the shots. 246 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,360 And it's worked for every other fighter, you know what I mean. So 247 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,799 I have a lot of confidence in myself and my combination. So we're gonna 248 00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:46,240 get this job done. Well. I'm looking forward to this fight. I 249 00:13:46,279 --> 00:13:50,320 think it's a classy matchup, a great style matchup. I wish you the 250 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,399 best of luck, David, and I thank you very much for doing this. 251 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,240 In the best of luck, I'm November forty five, Yes, sir, 252 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:54,759 thank you.
