and our viewers on YouTube what you've got coming up.

6
00:00:16,879 --> 00:00:19,399
Pretty good fight. I think if you're defending your title,

7
00:00:19,399 --> 00:00:21,960
you'll be taking on the very tough Oscar Duarte. It's

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,079
February twenty first, it's the co feature on his own

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,960
pay per view on the Mario Barrios Ryan Garcia card

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,000
at the Team Mobile. They're in Las Vegas, So welcome

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,039
to the show. Thanks for doing this. You look like

12
00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:34,479
you've got your game face on already.

13
00:00:35,119 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm ready. I'm ready.

14
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 3: I'm so ready to go out there and compete. You know,

15
00:00:39,359 --> 00:00:41,119
versus Oscar Dorte is gonna be a great fight.

16
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, well it's going to be your second title defense.

17
00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:50,159
Back in June, you had a really good performance against

18
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,600
the former lightweight unified champion and George Cambos As Junior.

19
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,640
You fought him at home in New York, where you're from.

20
00:00:56,679 --> 00:01:00,000
Totally dominating performance, knocked him out in the eighth round,

21
00:01:00,799 --> 00:01:03,759
And having watched that fight and coming away from that fight,

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,719
that sort of the conversation afterwards was that we all

23
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,599
knew that Richardson Hitchin's an outstanding boxer and he can

24
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:11,920
you know, he's got a lot of gifts, and he

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,959
was a top amateur. But he made things in this

26
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:17,439
fight a lot more crowd pleasing, you know, or a

27
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,480
little more offensive minded, went forward and really took the

28
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,159
guy apart, maybe more so than some other fights. How

29
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:27,040
did you feel about the way that you performed in

30
00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:29,280
did you feel like there was maybe a little pressure to,

31
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,439
you know, maybe make it littlemore fireworks on, more exciting

32
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:32,920
for the crowd.

33
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know that was you know, my whole team,

34
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,359
my manager, everybody put it in my head that I

35
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:42,159
had to, you know, dismantle George Campboses, and I wanted

36
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,359
to do it myself because you know, he won twenty

37
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:47,200
four rounds with Devin Haney, he beat too Femal Lopez

38
00:01:47,239 --> 00:01:49,400
and Lomonchenko was the only guy to stop him, and

39
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,400
I think that was an eleventh or twelve round. So

40
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,120
I wanted to go out there and and me and

41
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,519
George Camposes had a lot of built up Animassi. He

42
00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:57,640
told me I'll never be world champion. He told me

43
00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:00,000
I'll never fight in front of more than five hundred people.

44
00:02:00,599 --> 00:02:01,959
And I felt like he didn't know what he was

45
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,560
talking to when he's saying that on Twitter. So I

46
00:02:03,599 --> 00:02:06,480
went through out there and show him and show him

47
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:09,120
and tell him everything I was telling him on Twitter

48
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:10,280
when I told him I was the best, when I

49
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,120
told him I was better than everybody he ever thought,

50
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,479
I went to go out there and show him that

51
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:16,800
I wasn't all taught. And I think that after being

52
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,960
in the ring with me June fourteenth, I think now

53
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,439
he knows that I was one of the best guys

54
00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:22,479
he ever stepped in the ring with.

55
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,199
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think there's any doubt about that. After,

56
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,719
like you said, after what that, you performed, and it

57
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,280
seems like you whatever pressure was on you to perform

58
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,800
in that manner, whether it was from your team or

59
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,680
from within yourself, obviously you did that and it seemed

60
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,360
to come at the perfect time because you were coming

61
00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:42,439
up on becoming a promotional for Agent. Do you feel

62
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:45,439
like that really helped raise your stock both with the

63
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,960
fans as well as in the marketplace.

64
00:02:47,719 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, of course.

65
00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: You know, the fans loved me after that, you know performance,

66
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:54,000
but you know boxing is they love you today, I

67
00:02:54,039 --> 00:02:54,639
hate you tomorrow.

68
00:02:54,759 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 2: So every performance got to be good, you know.

69
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 3: And right now that's in the past, that's done, and

70
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:04,360
I'm trying to do it again next week.

71
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: Well we'll get to that before we get to the

72
00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:09,919
actual fight that you're gonna have. Originally, when they were

73
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:12,199
plotting out what the next fight for you would be,

74
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:16,000
the discussion was that you would have fought Jamaine Ortiz

75
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,159
on the Madison Square Garden card January thirty first, would

76
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:22,039
have been on the card that feature Tiafimo Lopez against

77
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:25,759
of course Stevenson, a big show that was then switched around.

78
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,879
They've moved Keshawn Davis onto that card, put him against

79
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,560
Jamaine Ortiz, and then moved you out into Las Vegas

80
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:35,319
for this card against Duarte. Were you okay with that

81
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:37,280
switch or were you sort of looking forward to fighting

82
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:39,599
once again at home in New York in the Madison

83
00:03:39,639 --> 00:03:42,400
Square Garden main arena, also on another big show.

84
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:45,319
Speaker 2: I was looking forward to that. That kind of hurt

85
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,000
my art a little bit, but it is what it is.

86
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,439
Speaker 1: What was the did they give you a reason why

87
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:50,840
they decided to make the move. I mean, I don't

88
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,479
think you could have gone wrong either way. But what

89
00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:53,479
were they telling you about that?

90
00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:57,759
Speaker 2: I just got moved on and I just had to

91
00:03:57,879 --> 00:03:59,039
take what's given to me.

92
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,159
Speaker 1: Stood. Well, now you've got Duarte in front of you,

93
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,280
let's get to that a little bit. I've seen him

94
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,280
fight many times. Most people view him as a really

95
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:10,479
good puncher, you know, aggressive Mexican fighter. He has won

96
00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:13,199
four fights in a row since he suffered the knockout

97
00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:16,680
loss against Ryan Garcia that was way back in December

98
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,399
of twenty twenty three. He's got some good wins too

99
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:22,639
since that loss, against guys that are legit, guys like

100
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,040
Kenneth Simms, bockedier Achmandov, who was an Olympian. What's Richardson

101
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,319
Hitchins's view of Oscar Duarte.

102
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: He's fucked good guys. He's fucked good guys, tough guys.

103
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,079
But none of those guys are boxers, you know, really boxers.

104
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,199
None of those guys are really defensive guys like me,

105
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,000
and I think that when he gets in a ring

106
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:51,519
with me. Boxing is fun. Boxing is fun when you

107
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,199
can hit something. It's really really fun when you can

108
00:04:54,319 --> 00:04:55,720
hit something, and guys is standing in front of you

109
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,879
and willing to fight you is fun.

110
00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:01,399
Speaker 2: But when you find a guy like me that quote

111
00:05:01,439 --> 00:05:04,079
unquote is a runner, it's not that fun.

112
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,879
Speaker 3: And I don't think he's gonna have that fun that

113
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,399
much fun next week because I'm not gonna stand against

114
00:05:08,399 --> 00:05:09,800
the ropes and just let him pounce on me with

115
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:15,160
power shots. So everything he everything he everything he everything

116
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,759
he gets will be earned.

117
00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:21,079
Speaker 1: And I'll make sure that this feels to me like

118
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,800
you are in a position, given your style and his style,

119
00:05:24,439 --> 00:05:28,120
that this may be like the epitome of you hitting

120
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,399
and not getting hit. Is that sort of the way

121
00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:32,120
that you envisioned a fight where you can make it

122
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,399
similarly exciting and entertaining the way you did against Cambosis,

123
00:05:37,439 --> 00:05:39,120
But again, in that fight, you didn't really take a

124
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,959
lot of damage, You didn't take a lot of big

125
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,959
shots or anything like that. Is that sort of in

126
00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:45,720
your mind like you can sort of do the same

127
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,879
against it, even though he's a little bigger, maybe a

128
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,839
little more physically strong than Cambosis.

129
00:05:50,519 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: Dan, I got a question. You have you watched most

130
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:53,040
of my fights?

131
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,959
Speaker 1: Ritchie? I think I've seen probably just met every single

132
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,040
fight of your professional career.

133
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 3: What fight would you say from a box and expert

134
00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:01,959
that you've seen me take punishment in?

135
00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: None, So this would be no different.

136
00:06:06,079 --> 00:06:08,079
Speaker 3: I think it will be hit and don't get hit.

137
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,079
I think that people want to call me a runner

138
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,000
if you watch my fights. I don't run around the ring.

139
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't do what Devin Haney.

140
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 3: Versus Jose Remerz type of performance. I'm right in front

141
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,000
of you. I'm right, I'm right in front of you,

142
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,120
beating you up. Majority of the fights, even in the

143
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,839
fight with gustavn Lemmos, where people try to say but

144
00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:29,279
people try to crucify me because of that win. That

145
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:32,240
and things happened before the fight that obviously I had

146
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,560
set out the media that I don't want to keep

147
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,319
speaking about. But if you watched that fight, he landed

148
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,000
a big shot, he landed a good shot the first round,

149
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,319
he landed a good shot the second round, and then

150
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,439
he landed a good shot the eighth round, and then

151
00:06:44,519 --> 00:06:46,560
he had a good round in eighth round. Other than that,

152
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,839
majority of the fight was me outclassing him, out boxing him.

153
00:06:50,079 --> 00:06:55,439
But like you know, I feel like people need to

154
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,399
just keep start giving my flowers, and some are after

155
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:02,279
now that I'm champion and I'm beating these guys. But

156
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,759
I think a lot of people don't really give my flowers.

157
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,319
But as long as I keep being guys like Oscar

158
00:07:07,399 --> 00:07:09,319
door Tate and keep doing what I gotta do, a

159
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,839
lot of guys are going to get my flowers and

160
00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:12,959
see that I'm one of the best boxers in the world.

161
00:07:13,519 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: Well, I would say, even if the fight against Lemos

162
00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:19,560
maybe wasn't the most proud pleasing of all, you guys

163
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,519
are allowed to have a fight where maybe it's not perfect.

164
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,759
I mean, you fought twenty times. If there's one or

165
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,040
two times, or maybe it wasn't perfect. That's the business.

166
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:29,519
I mean, everybody's gonna have an up night or down

167
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,360
night once in a while. You keep on winning, that's

168
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,879
the name of the game. Now you you fight now

169
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,000
in a very stacked weight class, one hundred and forty pounds,

170
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,480
it seems to me is one of the very best

171
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,399
in the division. We just saw Chaquar Stevenson with a

172
00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:46,360
tremendous performance and winning the WBO title against tia Fimo Lopez.

173
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,959
A week or two before that, you had Dalton Smith

174
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,720
coming from the United Kingdom to New York and knocking

175
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,000
out Surreal Mattias in a really good fight, in an

176
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,800
excellent performance. And then when you fight on this card,

177
00:07:58,279 --> 00:08:02,839
on the and Garcia card, right before you fight, there's

178
00:08:02,839 --> 00:08:05,079
another world title fight in your way class. That's the

179
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,079
WBA champion Gary Antoin Russell is gonna be taken on

180
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,680
his mandatory challenger Andy Iroka from Japan. I just mentioned

181
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,279
about Keishaan Davis. He did stop Jamaine Ortiz January thirty. First,

182
00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:17,759
you have a mandatory that's gonna come up against a

183
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,240
tough guy named lendelf Al Delgado from Mexico. Uh, who's

184
00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:24,079
on your hit list? I know you got to get

185
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,680
past this fight with Duarte, but there seems to be

186
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,319
a real plethora of interesting quality names at one that

187
00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:33,200
you could perhaps lock in with.

188
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: I mean, right now, you know it's presented to me

189
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:42,039
after this fight, the Liam Smith Smith Dow Smith fight.

190
00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:45,559
So yeah, I think that if we can make a

191
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,840
huge unification fight happen with that, that would be big.

192
00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:50,799
Speaker 1: Hey, who's when you say presented, Who's who's that? Who's

193
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:51,480
asking you about that?

194
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: I'm saying, you know, just my manager, other guys saying

195
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:57,200
that these fights that you know are possibly to happen,

196
00:08:57,399 --> 00:08:59,840
and you never know. You've got guys like Gary Russell.

197
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,440
I have my mantoy also, so I really don't have

198
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,879
a hit list because I'm not at this level. Every

199
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:08,519
guy I fight will be a top guy. So as

200
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,440
long as I'm getting my credit for fighting and winning,

201
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,000
it is what it is.

202
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: So you're willing to fight any of those guys, doesn't

203
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:17,679
matter to you.

204
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,039
Speaker 2: You're in now, it doesn't as long as it makes sense,

205
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,000
it doesn't matter to me.

206
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: So one of the things I'm interested in is is

207
00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:26,320
you're at one hundred and forty pounds, and I know

208
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,720
it's not the easiest thing for fighters to make the weight.

209
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,039
One thing I have heard from your manager, Keith Conley,

210
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,159
is that one of the things that's I won't say

211
00:09:34,159 --> 00:09:36,919
it's a problem, but you'd like life a lot better

212
00:09:36,919 --> 00:09:39,159
if you didn't have to deal with the IBF morning

213
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,759
weight check on Saturday. They're the one organization that makes

214
00:09:41,799 --> 00:09:46,000
their fighters in World championship fights make a second day

215
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,000
weigh in to be within ten pounds of the division limit,

216
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:52,279
and that of course limits a fighter from you know,

217
00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:55,639
rehydrating as much as they would like to do. How

218
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,480
much does that affect you or how much does that

219
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,240
bother you? And how much is it going to be

220
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,440
perhaps part of reasoning that eventually you'll leave the division.

221
00:10:04,519 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, that's definitely. If I don't get a unification fight,

222
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,399
that would be definitely one of the reasons why I

223
00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:12,879
want to leave the division, because I don't want to

224
00:10:12,919 --> 00:10:15,000
keep doing the IBA freehudation clause. I think it takes

225
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000
away from my performances, especially certain places.

226
00:10:17,759 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: That I fight at.

227
00:10:18,759 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 3: You know, when you fight in Vegas, the fights happened

228
00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:22,600
super early. I'll probably be in the ring. I'm gonna say,

229
00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:26,799
what seven o'clock, gloved up by six, six fifteen, six

230
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:30,440
twenty ish, So I mean I would have to stop

231
00:10:30,519 --> 00:10:33,240
eating by like four or five ish, and i'd be

232
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:35,559
a free hidation clause will be anywhere from eight eight

233
00:10:35,639 --> 00:10:38,519
to nine o'clock in the morning, So all those things

234
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:39,480
I have to be mindful of.

235
00:10:41,039 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 2: And it's it is what it is. I think that

236
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:46,600
I'll be.

237
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 3: I think I'll be fine, but yeah, soon, I definitely

238
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,879
want to go to one forty seven and I'll be

239
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,639
cool finding for the forty seven IBF title up there.

240
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,200
But yeah, if I don't get utification fight. I'd rather

241
00:10:57,279 --> 00:10:58,320
get out of here sooner or later.

242
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: Well, the one good thing if you do get a

243
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:04,440
unification fight, they do waive that particular rule because the

244
00:11:04,519 --> 00:11:07,519
other organizations don't require it. So that be a way

245
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,000
to still defend the title at one forty if you

246
00:11:10,039 --> 00:11:12,480
could get one of the other champions in there. So

247
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,840
you think maybe this fight and if you could get

248
00:11:14,879 --> 00:11:17,879
the unification, whether it's Dalton Spent or whatever, stick around

249
00:11:17,879 --> 00:11:19,200
for another fight and then find your way up to

250
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,159
one hundred and forty seven.

251
00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 2: Yep.

252
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: Pretty jammed. Also, you got an interesting main event that

253
00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:27,000
you're fighting underneath is a world champion to fight that

254
00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:31,240
division between Barrios and Garcia. You mentioned you kind of

255
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:33,320
dogged a little bit, Devin Hainey. Seems to me there's

256
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,840
a little animasi there is that a guy that you

257
00:11:34,919 --> 00:11:36,480
might have your eye on in the one hundred and

258
00:11:36,519 --> 00:11:38,120
forty seven pound weight class at some point.

259
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:46,519
Speaker 2: Sorry. Yep, yeah, Yeah, that's a fight that that I

260
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:47,000
want to fight.

261
00:11:47,039 --> 00:11:49,159
Speaker 3: When he was at one forty and he moved at

262
00:11:49,159 --> 00:11:51,120
the one forty seven, so that's gonna fight that's going

263
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,360
to have to happen today. He tweeted that he wants

264
00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:54,879
me to win my fights, so he could be the

265
00:11:54,919 --> 00:11:58,279
one to beat my ass. So yeah, it does all

266
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,240
great fights for the sport.

267
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are tons of good fights. Were you given

268
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,080
how many good fights there are and how many names

269
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,720
there are, whether it's at one forty or at one

270
00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:08,360
forty seven, were you? Were you all a little disappointed

271
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,960
that you only got an opportunity to have one fight

272
00:12:10,039 --> 00:12:12,519
in twenty twenty five, that is maybe as busy as

273
00:12:12,519 --> 00:12:12,960
you would.

274
00:12:12,879 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a little disappointed for a fact.

275
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,440
But this year my magic promised people will make it

276
00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:19,480
up to me. So looking forward to that.

277
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: All right, So now when you when you when you

278
00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:25,799
focus in on how you're gonna go against the ward.

279
00:12:26,039 --> 00:12:27,799
You already talked a little bit about how you know

280
00:12:27,879 --> 00:12:29,879
the whole concept of like hit, don't get hit and

281
00:12:30,039 --> 00:12:32,159
uh and uh, I think you're just you think better

282
00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:35,080
than he is of course in your mind, though, how

283
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,720
do you actually see this going? Is it just you

284
00:12:37,039 --> 00:12:39,600
you play with him and win a decision? Do you

285
00:12:39,639 --> 00:12:41,279
put some punishment on him and stop him like you

286
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,639
did with cam Bosis, Like what's the way you feel

287
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,759
like this is going to go? I assume having studied

288
00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:47,759
him a little bit and watched what he's all about.

289
00:12:49,159 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 3: Honestly, it depends on how tough he is, how tough

290
00:12:53,039 --> 00:12:58,879
he is, and how much of a fight you bring.

291
00:12:59,039 --> 00:13:00,480
I think that he's gonna bring a fight he has

292
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,399
he has. I'm Robert Garcia in his corner. I think

293
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,360
that's a guy that you know, he's a competitive coach.

294
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,039
He comes to make his fighters keep coming, keep coming,

295
00:13:08,159 --> 00:13:08,559
keep coming.

296
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,639
Speaker 2: So but the more he come, the more he'll run

297
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:19,120
into stuff. So I just can't wait. I'm honestly, he

298
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,600
can't wait, Like I just can't wait.

299
00:13:21,879 --> 00:13:23,039
Speaker 1: It's gonna be on your face.

300
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just gonna be like.

301
00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a fun, fun night of boxing, and yeah,

302
00:13:28,519 --> 00:13:30,600
I'm I'm I'm. I'm happy to be, you know, competing

303
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,440
against Hospital Door Ta because uh, we'll see.

304
00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: It's part of that excitement because you're I mean, you've

305
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,639
you've headlined like you did against Cambosis, and you fought

306
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,279
in Las Vegas before, h in Great Venues and all.

307
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:45,200
But now you're the co feature on you know, a

308
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,879
pretty big card. I mean, Barrio Sparsi is getting a

309
00:13:47,879 --> 00:13:50,399
lot of hype, you know, with TURKEYO she being behind

310
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,080
and everything So is that part of your your excitement

311
00:13:53,159 --> 00:13:54,799
level that you're just getting a chance to be on

312
00:13:54,879 --> 00:13:55,360
this big show.

313
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,159
Speaker 3: Nah, I just want to compete against Dorote because I

314
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,039
feel like he's gonna and bring a style at I

315
00:14:01,159 --> 00:14:04,440
haven't faced, and probably, like I want to say, two

316
00:14:04,519 --> 00:14:06,879
fights since Lomos Lomos was the last.

317
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 2: I think almost, I.

318
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,519
Speaker 3: Would say almost may be a little bit more aggressive

319
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,639
than him from the eye test, I don't know, but.

320
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just want to see if if I just

321
00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:18,960
want to show him that I'm not the guys he's

322
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,919
fighting like. I just want to show him like his level.

323
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,480
So uh yeah, that's where my excitement comes from. I

324
00:14:26,519 --> 00:14:28,799
don't really care too much about the arena or nothing.

325
00:14:28,879 --> 00:14:30,919
It's just another fight.

326
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: Well, I'll be watching just another fight. I look forward

327
00:14:34,279 --> 00:14:36,960
to it, yes, very much for the time and look

328
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,360
forward to seeing how it all plays out. You got

329
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,519
to a thick smile on your face, so I know you, yes, sir,

330
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,759
All right, Rittie, thank you so much for your time.

331
00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:44,799
I appreciate good luck to you.

332
00:14:45,039 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: Thank you
