It's been 11 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:31,640 a while since I've talked to you. 12 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 2: I've been great. You no enjoying my life. I had 13 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,560 two kids in my last fight. 14 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,039 Speaker 1: A top Now now we know you need the money. 15 00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:47,719 I guess you're having more kids, right I know in 16 00:00:48,759 --> 00:00:51,119 doing what you love that is true. 17 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,399 Speaker 2: You know I'm chasing greatness right now, and that's that's 18 00:00:54,439 --> 00:00:54,920 on I'm fighting. 19 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 3: Well. 20 00:00:56,039 --> 00:00:58,119 Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you about that because the reality 21 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,719 is that you haven't fought in two years or it 22 00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:02,280 will be able to be just about two years since 23 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,560 you get in the ring. It's only been it only 24 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,959 be your fourth fight where you've had four fights Tence 25 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,159 twenty nineteen, and so I know you say you're chasing 26 00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:11,879 greatness and you have other things you want to do, 27 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,359 like you mentioned, But was there a particular reason that 28 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,480 you decided to take the layoff? 29 00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:15,719 Speaker 3: Was there? 30 00:01:15,879 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if there was an injury or just 31 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,400 got a little bored or just couldn't get a fight. 32 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,799 What was the long layoff for? 33 00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:22,239 Speaker 3: Oh? 34 00:01:22,359 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 2: The layoff was the fight was supposed to take place 35 00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:27,760 last year in August, so I was supposed to come 36 00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:32,280 back right away, but I guess Showtime's hoped doing boxing, 37 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,280 so I got caught up in that small political change 38 00:01:36,879 --> 00:01:40,280 and I just waited it out. And that's pretty much 39 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,439 the reason why I need fight. It's because the Showtop thing, 40 00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:47,519 not really because I just didn't want to fight. It 41 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,840 was just time and bad timing that on that on 42 00:01:50,879 --> 00:01:51,239 that end. 43 00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: So I asked that because there's some people that thought 44 00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:55,599 when this fight was announced, like boy Man, I thought 45 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,280 Danny Garcia retired, but that's obviously not the case. 46 00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:02,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I've never I never retired. I never announced 47 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:08,080 my retirement. But I guess people can assume or come 48 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,919 to their own conclusions or assumptions when you know you 49 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000 have been acted. But I wasn't active because I didn't 50 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,360 want to it just the way the game is now, 51 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:18,879 you got to guess. 52 00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:19,759 Speaker 3: You gotta wait your turn. 53 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,479 Speaker 1: Well, I think the other thing also is you were 54 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,599 in the news not so much for this fight being made, 55 00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:26,680 but if you go back a couple of months ago, uh, 56 00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:28,919 there was a lot of discussion about Danny Garcia was 57 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,240 getting involved in promotion. You and your partner created Swift Promotions. 58 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,560 You put on a card in Atlantic City with the 59 00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:37,080 plans to do some events in Atlantic City in your 60 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,159 hometown of Philadelphia. And so when you hear that, you're like, well, 61 00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:42,639 you know, maybe he's he's staying involved in boxing, but 62 00:02:42,719 --> 00:02:45,000 maybe getting away from the part where he's the guy 63 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,360 in the ring and now he's doing the business outside 64 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:47,759 of the ring. 65 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 3: Well, you know, I. 66 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,759 Speaker 2: Always want to be a promoter, and you know, I 67 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,400 just didn't want to stand around and do nothing. 68 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 3: So I'm always a person like to chase new goals 69 00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:59,719 and new dreams. 70 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,039 Speaker 2: And like even during the pandemic when I was in fighting, 71 00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:08,319 when I went to the buyer real estate and build 72 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,080 real estate. So I'm always thinking about what can I 73 00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:13,639 do when I'm not in the ring. And I thought about, 74 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,520 you know, giving back, giving back to the young kid, 75 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,360 and Philly started the motion and see if I could 76 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,120 do something big. 77 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: And how did that first show go for you? 78 00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 2: The first show went good, the second the second show 79 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,759 went great, you know, sold out getting in Philly twenty 80 00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:31,879 three hundred arena. The venue was about a thousand people 81 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,360 and a thousand people showed up. 82 00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:35,879 Speaker 3: So it was a great turnout. You know. 83 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: I was happy, great atmosphere and people seem to love it. 84 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 3: So I can't wait for the next one. All right. 85 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: Well, so now you'll take a little break from that 86 00:03:45,039 --> 00:03:47,879 aspect of your your career and go involved. Now be 87 00:03:47,919 --> 00:03:49,520 involved in an actual fight where you're that got you 88 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,039 in the boxing ring. And so the part of this 89 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,000 fight that I look at, I see, you know, Danny 90 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,759 Garcia have been super successful as a champion in the 91 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,400 junior wealterweight division with a lot of big wins, had 92 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,520 success in the welterweight division, won another world title. Uh, 93 00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:06,240 you've just had the one fight in the junior middleweight division. 94 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,520 That was your last fight. That's like I said about 95 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,319 two years ago. Uh, and I think even Danny Garcia 96 00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:13,560 woul admit maybe not your greatest performance, even though you 97 00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:17,279 won the fight against Jose Benavidez Junior. Uh And now 98 00:04:17,319 --> 00:04:20,360 you step up into the middleweight division to challenge Arislandi 99 00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:22,800 Laara for his world title. He's a veteran, he's experienced, 100 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,360 he's been a champ at one hundred and fifty four 101 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,040 and been, you know, one of the top guys for 102 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,560 quite a while. And so I just wonder your your 103 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,879 perspective on the move up in weight and taking on 104 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,360 this challenge where you have never really fought above welterweight, 105 00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:40,040 the first flight of market four. 106 00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:43,079 Speaker 2: You know, I feel like I boxed a mazy like 107 00:04:43,079 --> 00:04:45,000 on my every ground. So I feel like I dominated 108 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,839 that fight. And I fight the Laura fight, that's the 109 00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:49,439 fight that was the easiest fight made. 110 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 3: You know. He he's with PVC. I'm with PVC. 111 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,199 Speaker 2: So I felt like it wasn't no political non political 112 00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:57,720 getting away of that fight. And that's where I already 113 00:04:57,759 --> 00:04:59,879 want to fight him. And plus he has a belt 114 00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:02,920 and that's the opportunity for me to be a three 115 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,399 division world champion. And yeah, definitely, so I feel like 116 00:05:07,439 --> 00:05:10,079 it's just made sense and not you can pretty stop 117 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:10,480 that fight. 118 00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: Now, do you feel like, you know, because you were 119 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,680 even when you were fighting Danny as a junior welterweight, 120 00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:17,600 as terrific as you were being champ and everything, you 121 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,560 were never looked at as a guy that was like 122 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,079 a big junior welterweight. You know, you always fit that 123 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,240 weight class really well. And I think there were some 124 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,720 people that saw your fights at welterweight and say, you know, 125 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,839 Danny Garcia is still really good, but he's not really 126 00:05:29,879 --> 00:05:32,079 that big of a guy at welterweight. Now you're stepping up, 127 00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:35,040 you know, another two divisions from there, and I wonder 128 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,519 in your mind, like, how do you think you fit 129 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,360 in now as one hundred and sixty pounder. 130 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:40,439 Speaker 3: I'm still great. 131 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,399 Speaker 2: To be honest, I always walked around about wait, I 132 00:05:43,399 --> 00:05:46,639 always walked around instead of the sixty five pounds. So 133 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,879 I feel like at my age, you know my age, 134 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,319 I'm thirty six now, I feel like it's very important 135 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,040 for me to fighting a weight that I'm comfortable with 136 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,560 and not really killing myself. You know, when you're in 137 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,399 your twenties, you could kill yourself to be waight, rehydrate 138 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,439 ten pounds and feel really strong. 139 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 3: But it's a lot different now, So I feel. 140 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 2: Like I got to be more shaggy when it comes 141 00:06:05,519 --> 00:06:08,680 to my fights and everything just has to make sense, 142 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:09,959 and I feel like this is going. 143 00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 3: To help me for the better now. 144 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,759 Speaker 1: I think that when you mentioned that this was a 145 00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:15,480 fight that's sort of been the in the in the 146 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,759 works for a while. I know showtime was there was 147 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,600 talks about it being last summer. As you mentioned, it 148 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,120 didn't happen for obvious reasons. Now it's taking place. There 149 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,560 would be some that will look at this and say, 150 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,199 you know, Garcia Lara two excellent names, guys who have 151 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,639 been a credit and fought a lot of big fights. 152 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,360 But and I have to be honest, I kind of 153 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,399 fall into this category. While I'm not unhappy to see 154 00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:37,040 Danny Swift Garcia back in the ring, I do question 155 00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:41,040 the merit of you challenging for a middleweight title, having 156 00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:42,959 never fought in the way class, having come off a 157 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,839 very long layoff, and havn't had that fight with Benevitez 158 00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:49,000 at one fifty four in your last fight. So tell 159 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,879 me and tell the listeners what makes you say that 160 00:06:51,959 --> 00:06:54,639 it should be Danny Swift Garcia now that deserves the 161 00:06:54,639 --> 00:06:56,519 opportunity to challenge for a middleway title. 162 00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:00,519 Speaker 2: You know, at the end of the day, the last 163 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,680 twelve years in boxing, you know, I fought for role 164 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,360 title twenty twelve and I thought, now, but the best 165 00:07:06,399 --> 00:07:10,639 fighters my whole entire career, you know, So when it 166 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,720 comes to I know a lot. 167 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 3: Of people say, how do you get that opportunity? How 168 00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:15,199 do he give the line? 169 00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: But I put in a lot of work, you know, 170 00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:21,839 and I've seen a lot of other fighters get opportunities, 171 00:07:22,279 --> 00:07:23,839 you know, their first time we went up a wait 172 00:07:23,959 --> 00:07:26,399 like Terrace Crawford, he just fought for a WBA title. 173 00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:29,639 He never caught that one with before. So I feel 174 00:07:29,639 --> 00:07:32,079 like it makes no difference to me. You know, when 175 00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:34,639 you're chasing greatness and you want to be great, you know, 176 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,279 I want to do what Colvid did. I want to 177 00:07:36,279 --> 00:07:39,079 do what Duran did. I want to start at the 178 00:07:39,079 --> 00:07:41,279 smarter weight class. They go all the way up and 179 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,480 win titles in every week class. So to me, this 180 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,800 is a chance to be the This is for my legacy, 181 00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:50,759 and I feel like when his legacy fights, you know, 182 00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:51,360 you can't be. 183 00:07:51,399 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: Bad at it. 184 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,519 Speaker 1: In terms of Laura, he's forty one years old. As 185 00:07:55,519 --> 00:07:58,319 I mentioned, been a guy that's had an excellent career, 186 00:07:58,439 --> 00:08:01,279 been a real serious world champion at one hundred and 187 00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:03,720 fifty four pounds, was a top amateur just like you were. 188 00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:07,600 But he's he's fought infrequently, and I wonder when you 189 00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:10,040 look at him and you see yourself matching up with him, 190 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,800 where do you view him at in his career? He 191 00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:14,639 has not yet faced, in my opinion, anyway of all 192 00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:17,399 of his middleway fights. Certainly not a big name or 193 00:08:17,639 --> 00:08:20,480 or a top top guy. Certainly nobody with a name 194 00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:23,000 like Danny Garcia, you know, whatever way class you're fighting in. 195 00:08:23,079 --> 00:08:25,399 So how do you view Laura at this point in 196 00:08:25,399 --> 00:08:26,680 his career as you go into this fight? 197 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I still view Laura. You know, he's a great champion. 198 00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:33,360 He's been knocked. 199 00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:35,519 Speaker 2: I know he hasn't fault into big names at one sixty, 200 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,440 but he's still been knocking guys out even at forty 201 00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:42,639 years old, So he's definitely still a threat. You know, 202 00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:46,240 I'm looking at Laura like Laura, you know, So I'm 203 00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:49,440 taking him serious. You know, I'm training hard and I 204 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,559 expect the best Barra that like I know he's expected 205 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:52,600 the best Danny Garcia. 206 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,879 Speaker 3: So I'm gonna come in there and ready. 207 00:08:56,919 --> 00:08:59,879 Speaker 1: In big history, Danny, you have had a ton of 208 00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:03,679 high profile TV fights, main event fights against a lot 209 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,279 of good names, a lot of big wins. I wonder 210 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:06,799 when you think back on your cur I know it's 211 00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:08,440 not over yet, but is there one of your of 212 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,399 all those fights you have, I think of Matisse, that 213 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,080 spectacular knockout against Eric Morales in your rematch, a big 214 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,120 win against Lamon Peterson, the great knockout against amer Khan 215 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,519 in your unification fight. You got so many top fights. 216 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,600 When you think back, what's your favorite fight of yours 217 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:25,519 that you've had and why. 218 00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 2: My favorite fight? Number one plan have to be Americ Khan. 219 00:09:32,039 --> 00:09:33,240 You guys, no one thought I was I was an 220 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,039 eighth to one underdog. You know, I just beat Morale 221 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,039 as they say he was old, and then I just 222 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,559 jumped up in front of my title. 223 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 3: I guess a superstar. 224 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 2: Americ Khan one of the most talented boxers and Olympic 225 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,360 silver medalists at seventeen years old. 226 00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 3: I feel like Americ Khan was one of my greatest victories. 227 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,919 Speaker 2: And then even the Matiss fight, because I was I 228 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,120 was already I already made five defenses and then I 229 00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,120 was still the underdog. 230 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 3: So I felt like I proved myself a lot. 231 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: You know, even even the Therman fight, to me is 232 00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:08,960 a great fight, even though it was a close fight. 233 00:10:09,039 --> 00:10:10,919 You know, some people that I want, some people that 234 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,679 I lost. It depends Wight, you know, like I thought 235 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,039 I was out, but that was only my second defense 236 00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:19,240 at one. That was asking my first defense. I'm sorry, 237 00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:22,159 that was my first defense. And I try to unify 238 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,399 the division. So that's that's an history fight for me too, 239 00:10:24,879 --> 00:10:26,440 because not sure that you know, I was trying to 240 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,399 be great and unified two divisions back to back. 241 00:10:29,919 --> 00:10:31,639 Speaker 1: So with this fight, when Laura, are you back in 242 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,600 boxing for the long haul? Are you gonna have to 243 00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:35,759 go another two years? Uh to see you fight again 244 00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:36,120 after this? 245 00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 2: That's a good question. Right now, I'm just taking it 246 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,799 one front at a time. I'm taking one front at 247 00:10:43,799 --> 00:10:48,039 a time. You know, you can't fight forever, and so 248 00:10:48,159 --> 00:10:49,039 he don't win this world. 249 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:55,879 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna wrap up with this. I'll just take 250 00:10:55,919 --> 00:10:58,159 a point of privilege. He and I'll say, Danny, I've 251 00:10:58,159 --> 00:11:00,759 been covering boxing almost twenty five years and I was 252 00:11:00,759 --> 00:11:03,039 looking up your record before we got on the interview. 253 00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:04,679 When I was getting ready for some of these questions, 254 00:11:04,759 --> 00:11:07,399 I was looking back at your at your roster of fights. 255 00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:10,159 Do you know that I've I think when I I'm 256 00:11:10,159 --> 00:11:12,360 gonna be at this fight card between Canelo and Berlin 257 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,519 and your fight with Laura, I believe this is gonna 258 00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:17,320 be my twenty fifth Danny Garcia fight at ringside. I 259 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,759 think you're of all the fighters I've ever covered, that 260 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,919 might be number one or number two of everybody I've 261 00:11:21,919 --> 00:11:24,200 ever covered. I want to know because I was there 262 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,240 when you won the title against uh against Morales, against Morales, 263 00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:31,039 I was there when you won against Batista. I was 264 00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:33,519 at your professional debut. I want to know being at 265 00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:37,200 that many Danny Garcia fights so I get a prize. Oh, 266 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,720 let me know what you need, all right, just joke, 267 00:11:43,879 --> 00:11:44,320 just joking. 268 00:11:44,519 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 3: Remember do you remember the art on me after I 269 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,320 got off the scale. 270 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: And do you remember that which fight was that? I 271 00:11:51,399 --> 00:11:53,480 kind of do vaguely remember that it was. 272 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:58,639 Speaker 2: Uh well Afteve Forbes. It was after the Wayne and 273 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,320 you were saying at the table and the first thing 274 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,279 I ate with the cheesecake. You probably remember you was like, 275 00:12:02,279 --> 00:12:03,320 why the cheese, Kate? 276 00:12:04,919 --> 00:12:06,919 Speaker 1: I guess I don't remember that. Tell me now, you 277 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,639 tell me the story, because I usually am the guy 278 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,519 telling the other fighter of the story of what I remember. 279 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,919 Speaker 3: I remember I got out the stale on the first 280 00:12:12,919 --> 00:12:14,399 thing I ate with the cheese cake?

I do, 286 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,080 I do remember. I do remember the pro debut at 287 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,679 the Borgata on a on an HBO under card. You 288 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,360 weren't on television, but you were off TV. But the 289 00:12:31,399 --> 00:12:33,200 thing about it was, you know, you had a lot 290 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,399 of hype from the amateurs and and at the time 291 00:12:36,519 --> 00:12:38,759 your manager was Shelley Pinkel, and Shelley was telling me, 292 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,240 you got to watch my kid, Danny Garcia's turn and pro. 293 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,480 Make sure you get there early.
