1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Well, it is my pleasure to welcome to our podcast.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,519
Speaker 2: This week it is Tim Zoo, former w EO Junior

3
00:00:07,519 --> 00:00:09,640
Middleway World Champion, and Tim, you got a big fight

4
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:13,240
coming up October nineteenth. You'll be challenging, this time for

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,679
the IBF version of the title, against Bakram Rtaziliev in Orlando, Florida.

6
00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:21,000
It'll be on a Prime Video the first non pay

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,399
review of the Prime Video association with PBC. So welcome.

8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,399
I appreciate you doing this. I know you've been in

9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,519
Vegas preparing for this fight or whatever fight you were

10
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:31,480
going to have. I guess even before this fight was made.

11
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,079
Are you healthy now with the cut? That's what everybody

12
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:35,640
wants to know.

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 3: Perfect. Perfect.

14
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:42,119
Speaker 2: I'm glad to hear that. So I want to talk

15
00:00:42,119 --> 00:00:45,159
about that situation. Then we'll get into your upcoming title

16
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,600
challenge against Martaziliv. When you fought the fight in March

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,920
that I referenced against Sebastian Fandora, that was the first

18
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,600
PBC event that they did in their new deal with

19
00:00:56,719 --> 00:00:59,359
Prime Video. It was a pay per view headliner. Now

20
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:02,359
you're headline the first non pay per view. It's like

21
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:04,599
you are the PBC man of first with this deal.

22
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:07,000
Do you feel special because of that designation.

23
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's an honor for me, you know, to be

24
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,920
able to be to be peeked out of the big

25
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,040
stable of fun and to be representing it's an honor.

26
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: That's cool, all right.

27
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: So, like I said, before we get into your upcoming fight,

28
00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:22,239
I just I wanted to talk about a little about

29
00:01:22,239 --> 00:01:24,760
the Fandora fight. I'm probably I think you're probably sick

30
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:26,480
of talking about it, but it was such a riveting

31
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:29,079
fight for a lot of different reasons. Just a tremendous battle.

32
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,319
This was back on March thirtieth at the Team Mobile

33
00:01:31,359 --> 00:01:34,640
Arena in Las Vegas. Unfortunately for you, you lost a split

34
00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:37,359
decision cost a year world title. But I have to

35
00:01:37,359 --> 00:01:39,519
believe you made a dramatic amount of fans in that fight,

36
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:41,760
given how you fought that the excitement of the fight. Also,

37
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:45,159
you had a chance to win the WBC's vacant interim

38
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,760
title in that fight. Tim, I thought you dominated the

39
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:50,519
first two rounds. I thought you were on your way

40
00:01:50,519 --> 00:01:54,079
to a knockout victory against Fandora, and then it happened

41
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,079
he hits you with the elbow by accident at the

42
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:58,920
end of the second round and the blood opened up

43
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,120
on that cut, on your top of your head, on

44
00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:03,799
your scalp, and pretty much to fight. It seemed to

45
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,439
me anyway as a viewer, that had just changed everything,

46
00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:07,680
even though you fought your heart out.

47
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: How much did that impact you?

48
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,879
Speaker 3: That's a good question. Like looking back at it, I

49
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:18,479
think it did.

50
00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 4: There was plenty of emotions I guess running through, you know, blindsided,

51
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,120
you're constantly thinking about the cut rather than thinking about

52
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:29,439
the fight.

53
00:02:29,759 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 3: The momentum shift.

54
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I could say it played a part, but.

55
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: Again it's some an excuse.

56
00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 4: Sometimes you have to adapt and be able to deal

57
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:41,719
with what you've got.

58
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,879
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think anybody that would see you or

59
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,680
any fighter fight through that type of cut, that type

60
00:02:47,719 --> 00:02:51,039
of blood, would would take anything as an excuse. And listen,

61
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,800
he was not in a perfect situation either because you

62
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:56,080
broke his nose. It seemed that the end of the

63
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,719
first round or in the first round, it just felt

64
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:00,280
like you had more to deal with than he had

65
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,840
to deal with. Because he had the blood, he was

66
00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:05,159
probably swallowing it. Here you're just pouring down your face.

67
00:03:05,199 --> 00:03:09,120
It's very obvious. How in the world did you fight

68
00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:11,520
through the blood Because It's one thing to be cut

69
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,599
and to feel it, and it's another thing to just,

70
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,520
I don't know, probably not be able to see very well.

71
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,120
And it's just it was.

72
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:17,479
Speaker 1: It was.

73
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure you've seen the pictures and the video.

74
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,479
It was rough man, How did you? How do you

75
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,520
go on for another ten rounds like that? I'm in

76
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,120
awe of that. That's why I'm asking it like that.

77
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know what, when it first happened.

78
00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 4: I knew it wasn't a normal cut, something that I've

79
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,159
had before, or what anyone's had before.

80
00:03:35,199 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: I knew it was. This was something different because as

81
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,680
soon as soon as I put.

82
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 4: My head down, I remember the fountain of bloods rushing

83
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,919
and I was like, in my head, I.

84
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 3: Was like, Nah, this isn't this isn't right. You know,

85
00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:48,120
not this early, not this.

86
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:48,919
Speaker 1: Early right now?

87
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: You know, maybe in the later rounds, but not not now.

88
00:03:54,680 --> 00:04:00,919
Speaker 4: But yeah, it affected me to a certain extent. It

89
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,199
was it was annoying.

90
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: Did it hurt or was it just in your way?

91
00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say it hurt, but it was just the

92
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,479
amount of blood that was coming in. It was I

93
00:04:13,479 --> 00:04:17,800
couldn't see I couldn't see it was. It was that's

94
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:23,160
blood is strong. It's not like water. It's it stinks

95
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:24,879
and when it goes into your eyes, it sort of

96
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,759
stays there. So for me, it was more like I

97
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,560
was I was like I was, if you screen your

98
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,360
eyes like that, you can you can barely see stuff.

99
00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:35,279
So it was like that, but it red Rember.

100
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you remember what I.

101
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: Remember going through the first couple of rounds, I was like, damn,

102
00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:42,120
what the hell?

103
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 3: There's certain punches I can't see, uh that are just

104
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,360
kidding me? And and I don't understand when you're getting frustrated, you're.

105
00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:52,399
Speaker 4: Starting to swing more on you're and you again you

106
00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:55,439
get caught with it stupa shots. And it was more

107
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,240
about trying to adapt to the situation for me.

108
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: So while you're dealing with that and trying to do

109
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,560
a lot of stuff, get through the fight, deal with

110
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,800
the blood, obviously, try to score your punches. Are you

111
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,800
at this point realizing that he's also struggling because you've

112
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,959
broken his nose and he's got his own issues to

113
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000
deal with, and it's kind of like who can outlast

114
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:13,560
the other guy?

115
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: Nah?

116
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,879
Speaker 3: Say, that's that's where that's where everything went wrong for me.

117
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 4: Is that I stopped concentrating on the game plan. I

118
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,319
stopped concentrating on what's happening in front of me. But

119
00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:26,160
I was rather trying to figure out what to do

120
00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:30,759
with myself. And that's never been, uh, that's never been

121
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,160
in my head when I used to. When I fight,

122
00:05:33,439 --> 00:05:37,399
it's all about breaking or parted down, saying where his

123
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,759
weaknesses are, saying how he's breathing, saying everything about the fight,

124
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,480
and and and that's that's where I wasn't able to.

125
00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:44,959
Speaker 3: Pick it up.

126
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: Now, was there any point where you thought, Okay, you

127
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,160
know what, my corner is gonna stop it. The referee

128
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,040
or the doctor's gonna recommend to stop it because a

129
00:05:52,079 --> 00:05:54,639
lot of us watching, you know, the conversation that's taking

130
00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:57,279
place since that fight was Boy, they could have stopped

131
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,319
that fight. And you know, because there was an accidental fall.

132
00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:02,360
You go to the cards, who's going to win the fight?

133
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:05,160
And you get out of dodge, you have your belt,

134
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:07,360
and you know that's the living You fight another day.

135
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 3: No, that wasn't. That wasn't in my head.

136
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 4: The method of victory for me was to was to

137
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,959
win convincingly and to win the purple way, not due

138
00:06:17,959 --> 00:06:19,680
to an accent soil over.

139
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: Well, I just know that I've been doing this a

140
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:25,680
long time. I've been covering boxing almost twenty five years.

141
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,360
I've been watching it for probably forty years. I don't

142
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:29,600
know if I've ever seen anything like that. I have

143
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,720
so much respect for what you did to fight through that.

144
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,040
That actually took a photo of the blood coming down

145
00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:36,279
your face and made it the picture on my social

146
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:38,720
media as a matter of fact, on my on my Twitter.

147
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,040
Just it was a remarkable thing. But now I'll talk

148
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,600
about what's come since then. You were supposed to be

149
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:48,920
lined up to fight against Virgil Artis in August, and

150
00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:52,120
I guess that got called off because the doctors, your

151
00:06:52,199 --> 00:06:54,360
doctor said, you know what, he's not ready to go

152
00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:57,399
because of the cut. How disappointed were you to not

153
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,399
get that opportunity? That was on a big card with

154
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,920
Terrence Crawl off Los Angeles. Uh, you know, on a

155
00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:04,800
on a on what was a really deep show. A

156
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,519
lot of people were saying that the Tim Zuo virtual Artis,

157
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,480
that's the best fight on the card. Obviously it never

158
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,879
did not happen because you were not clear too. How

159
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,240
disappointed were you in that not happening?

160
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was look as soon as I got back home,

161
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:19,160
I booked Thailand.

162
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 4: When I caught up with my dad in Talian, did

163
00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:23,639
a little training campaign and I was ready to go.

164
00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:26,879
And then then I didn't get the clean and I was, yeah,

165
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:31,360
I was devastated because again because it was something that

166
00:07:31,399 --> 00:07:33,040
would have put me brought back in the mix.

167
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: And it is what it is.

168
00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: I guess I.

169
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: Kind of think about it like this. You tell me

170
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:39,959
if you agree that maybe it was a silver lining

171
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:41,839
that that fight did not happen, because if you had

172
00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:44,920
fought Virgil Artis, you are the undercard, you're fighting for

173
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,319
an interim title. Now you're the main event and you're

174
00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:49,639
fighting for a full title. Is that like the silver

175
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,959
lining in terms of you know, sort of everything happens

176
00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:53,480
for a reason mentality.

177
00:07:53,959 --> 00:07:56,519
Speaker 4: It so it is yeah, like stay patient, you know,

178
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,839
and sometimes the right opportunities will.

179
00:08:00,759 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 3: Uh.

180
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: Also, I think I was a bit desperate and I

181
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,920
was ready to go and I was in I was

182
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,639
just ready to go. I was like, let's see, man,

183
00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:12,600
I just just had my loss. But I'm not devastated.

184
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:16,120
I'm not down. I'm ready to go, like it's so good.

185
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: Uh.

186
00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 4: But due to the to the cut, it was it

187
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:22,319
was still not ready. But yeah, everything happens for a reason,

188
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:23,319
and I'm happy to be in.

189
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:24,959
Speaker 3: His position right now to be fighting.

190
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 4: For the for the full IBF bilm on on the

191
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,720
first free to air Amazon Amazon fight.

192
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: Line exactly now your opponent and uh Barker Mark mtazal I. I

193
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:35,840
don't think a lot of people, at least here in

194
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,159
the United States, and they were probably anywhere even maybe

195
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:40,000
even around the rest of the world, don't really know

196
00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:40,840
a lot about him.

197
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: Uh.

198
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: He did win this vacant title when Jamel Charlote vacated

199
00:08:44,759 --> 00:08:47,000
the title. Rather than go through with that mandatory defense

200
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,679
that he had against martazliv he ended up fighting Jack

201
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,279
Colk in Calk's country of Germany in April to win

202
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,039
the vacant title.

203
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: Uh.

204
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: He scored a knockout. He looked really good in that fight.

205
00:08:56,279 --> 00:08:58,679
It was a very exciting fight. And I just wonder

206
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,600
what your thoughts were about that before if you saw

207
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:01,919
it now.

208
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:02,759
Speaker 3: I didn't really watch it.

209
00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 4: I watched a little bit like the highlights, but I

210
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,320
don't really watch too much too much of my parents,

211
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,399
so to try to figure him out on the.

212
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,519
Speaker 1: Spot, so you or your team, no one's even bothered

213
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:13,200
to take a look at that.

214
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, my team watches. We created a little game plan

215
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,759
from that, not myself.

216
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:20,639
Speaker 2: Okay, So, like I said, it was a pretty impressive performance,

217
00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:21,960
and I got a chance to see him a few

218
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,360
different times. Back if you go back to your first

219
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,200
fight when you came to the United States and you

220
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,480
fought against Terrell Geshet in March of twenty twenty two

221
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,879
up in Minneapolis. You were the main event obviously that night,

222
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:37,639
and you got a victory against Gesha on the undercard,

223
00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:40,200
not even part of the main broadcast on that show.

224
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,240
He was on that card and continued his undeated run.

225
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:45,519
He scored a first round knockout against a you know,

226
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,279
a journeyman type of opponent. I wonder do you remember that.

227
00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:50,600
Did you see him that week? Did you meet him?

228
00:09:51,039 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

229
00:09:51,279 --> 00:09:53,879
Speaker 4: I remember saying him that week. I remember saying how

230
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,679
totally was he was. He's as much skinny a guy.

231
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,559
I don't know how he made the whit as he's.

232
00:10:01,919 --> 00:10:05,960
He's quite a big boy, and that's it. That's I

233
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,279
do remember glimpses of him.

234
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 2: And did you think at that point, obviously you know,

235
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,360
you were on your way to becoming a world champion.

236
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,919
He's an undefeated fighter, you know, being built up as

237
00:10:14,039 --> 00:10:16,919
getting close to a mandatory situation. Are you thinking in

238
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,240
the back of your mind, you know he's in my

239
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,639
weight class. Maybe down the road I may have to

240
00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:21,279
fight this guy.

241
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:24,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, to a certain extent, Yeah, I remember, like I

242
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,600
remember like us sort of like saying each other and

243
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,799
like sort of gave each other like that the nube,

244
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,919
knowing that we're gonna get it on one day. You know,

245
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,240
none of his friendly talk give each other hugs. It

246
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,799
was just a nub now seeing the ring sometime in

247
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,080
the future, but that nod.

248
00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:45,399
Speaker 2: So when they when the fight between you and he

249
00:10:45,639 --> 00:10:48,480
was made, his comments when the fight was made was

250
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,600
I'm so happy that I'm fighting Tim Zoo. I'm paraphrasing

251
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,960
what he had to say, and I also don't speak Russian,

252
00:10:54,159 --> 00:10:57,039
but he was basically saying like I I even before

253
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,240
this fight was ordered by the IBF or you know,

254
00:11:00,279 --> 00:11:02,840
he was the my mandatory Tim Zoo was the guy

255
00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:05,399
I wanted to fight. Are you aware of that? And

256
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:06,879
you know you're not a guy that a lot of

257
00:11:06,879 --> 00:11:08,759
people call out, So that sort of showed me, like,

258
00:11:08,799 --> 00:11:09,759
you know, he's for real.

259
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 4: Man, Like I think we tried to make the thought

260
00:11:14,279 --> 00:11:16,159
happen and stuff was getting into way.

261
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,639
Speaker 3: So I don't know what sorry, he's coming from.

262
00:11:17,639 --> 00:11:20,799
Speaker 4: It's easy to say when some futs a mandatory, of course,

263
00:11:20,799 --> 00:11:21,720
it's easy to say that.

264
00:11:21,759 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 3: But I don't know if he's telling the truth that

265
00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:24,840
brought the.

266
00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: In Okay, fair enough, Stone, I'm thinking to myself, whatever

267
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:30,159
happens in this fight, I mean, if you win the title,

268
00:11:30,159 --> 00:11:32,639
obviously it's a huge boost for your career. Uh, you're

269
00:11:32,639 --> 00:11:33,639
a champion once again.

270
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: Uh.

271
00:11:34,159 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: If you even if you don't win the fight, it

272
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,960
is something in your in your future that you want

273
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,879
to have happen. Another rematch against Fondora.

274
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 4: Uh, I want to just make the biggest thoughts happen,

275
00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:46,679
you know.

276
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,399
Speaker 3: I want to I want to keep myself busy.

277
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,519
Speaker 4: Uh, keep fighting for the for the the US audience,

278
00:11:54,639 --> 00:11:57,759
something that is big for me, big dream of mine.

279
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,519
And then yeah, just keep performing well.

280
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:01,759
Speaker 2: I mean I would have to think that if you

281
00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:04,240
were to go against Vandora in the future, particularly if

282
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,000
you're the winner of this fight, you're the IBF champion.

283
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,440
He's a unified champion. That's three bells there, so it's

284
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,279
a big time unification plus there's the drama and all

285
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,279
the excitement and everything that occurred in the first fight.

286
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:14,639
I would think that would be a pretty big fight

287
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,679
in one hundred and fifty four pounds, would you would

288
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:17,159
you agree with that?

289
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:17,879
Speaker 3: Yeah?

290
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 4: Again, the PBC Ross's beak and there's plenty of fights

291
00:12:23,039 --> 00:12:23,440
to be made.

292
00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:26,759
Speaker 3: So that is the Charlos as well.

293
00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 2: The Spenser's Karence Crawford is in the division as a champion.

294
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:35,960
Virgil is still there. You got Eric Slubin that's been

295
00:12:36,039 --> 00:12:36,720
chirping about you.

296
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 4: You got Yeah, there's there's plenty. There's plenty of fots

297
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,960
to be made. And you know me, I'm not I'm

298
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:48,360
not to sit down and wait. I'll getting take Fox again,

299
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,480
suck John Wick hit list and just take them all out.

300
00:12:52,279 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: Well, I think after a guy looking to fight through

301
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,360
that blood, who fought once through a couple of weeks

302
00:12:57,399 --> 00:12:59,240
after having a dog bite on his arm, we could

303
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:00,279
easily call up the fight.

304
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,159
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's gonna disbelieve you. Tim.

305
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: Thank you very much for your time with this. I

306
00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:07,039
appreciate it, and I wish you best of luck in

307
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:07,399
the fight.

308
00:13:08,159 --> 00:13:09,759
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Thank you.

309
00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: You're dead

310
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:11,879
Speaker 3: H
