Hello guys and welcome to another episode of the JRE Review, where I review Joe Rogan's podcast, often with guests, sometimes on my own, depending on my schedule and what guests I can get a hold of. Today, I'm on my own, sadly, but it's a great one. MMA51, Deonte Wilder. This conversation was fantastic because not that long ago, Tyson Fury was on Rogan's podcast before the fight. This podcast with Deonte Wilder needs to fall for the heavyweight bout boxing. Now Deonte is on after the fight, so

we get an interesting kind of comparison of these two people. Me personally, I didn't have a lot of respect for Wilder before I heard that he made some statements about wanting a body bag, like a dead person on his resume, and after listening to him on his podcast, I can tell that was just all show-boding and just to scare his opponent and to sound like a badass and I understand where that comes from. They're in the fight game. All right, they've got they've gone he's going up against the toughest guys in the world. Now I'm not trying to make excuses for him I still think that it doesn't sound very good and he should probably not keep saying it but you know These guys are warriors and if they can psych out their opponent just a little bit knowing that this guy has one of

the most brutal punches in the world, you know it might give him a bit of an edge and they need everything that they can because the margin for error is so small and you saw that in the Tyson Wilder fight. I mean Tyson was winning. It was outboxing him until Wilder was able to smash him into almost the next universe. So yeah, he's a huge hitting man and he knocked Tyson out for what seems like longer than 10 seconds but the fight was not over. That happened in the, I believe in the 10th, 12th round shit. I should have remembered that, but I forgot. But an amazing fight, definitely worth watching

if you haven't seen it already. And even if you're not a big boxing fan, D'Aunte made the Olympics in a year and a half of training boxing. And he was the only boxer from the US to medal that year. Now, to put that in perspective, if you think about any other Olympic sport, if someone had not trained it at all,

and then started training and was able to go and win a medal, he might be one of the best Olympic athletes for that ever. I think you want a bronze, and that's what they call it in the bronze bomber, which is a really cool name. I like that a lot. Bronze for his medal in bomber because he won't knock your head off as fast as you can imagine.

And this conversation with Joe really brought some humanity to him for me. And this is why I like the three-hour stretch that Rogan does for his podcast and why I think it's so important for humanity. Not to overstate it, but it's really important to get this dialogue from these amazing people. This is the longest amount of time you hear. You know, all I've ever heard is these ten second, one minute snippets where he's just yelling at reporters, doesn't tell you anything, he's hyped up, he's pumped, this time he was relaxed, he sounded, while they sounded super chilled, super chilled, he talked about his daughter being born with Spina Bifida, so he really went into boxing because couldn't go to school because other options for him would like play football

or other power sports like that. And he would have had to go to college for it and he needed to take care of his daughter so he went into boxing. And that is just a beautiful story. You know, I mean, shit, that's more responsible than I am with fucking 100% the shit that I do. I mean I take my hat off to the man. You know and he really cared about his family,

talks about caring a lot about kids and wanting kids to do better. And you know he also spoke about how his grandmother said that he was like you know in a way a special child a chosen child. And that gave him a lot of confidence even though he didn't have a lot of Opportunity and he held on to that and he held on to that that that tiny complement to In a lot of ways give him the strength through these tough times to really pull himself out Which which brings up an important point that sometimes if you're important to somebody else or you play a mental role or you're just older, you know, and you're having a bad day, the shitty things that you say to them, whether they be your kids, your grandkids, or just someone else that you know, you might say

something shitty that sticks with them forever, but in the same way, you might say something amazing that's really positive that changes their outlook forever. They believe they hold on to and it makes them really impressive. While there has a 40-0 record, I guess 41-1-0, does the draw go in the middle? Is it 41-0 or 40-0-1? I think 41 or no. Anyway, but with 39 knockouts, I mean, if you don't know who he is by now, you need to know. Because in the heavyweight world, he is a fucking beast. And he's like a movie bad guy with a way that he knocks people out. I mean, it just doesn't seem real. It's like the kind of challenge that comes up against Rocky.

And you're just like, holy shit, this is going to be a great movie. And then, you know, Rockies out in the woods lifting trees and stumps and yeah running up a hills and just sweating bullets and drinking 12 Eggs raw and chasing a chicken around a fucking apartment building just to get ready for I mean it's an unreal record You know think about it in this terms. Ten more fights of not losing, and he's there with Mayweather, but he's doing it in a heavy weight. I mean, unbelievable. Anyways, like 30, 40 pounds, 50 pounds less

than the guys he's up against. Like I said, he's very chilled, and he's a, it sounds like he's a real family man, which I like a lot. And for his next fight against Tyson, which is going to be the rematch to this one, it's going to be huge. Probably going to be the biggest heavyweight fight of all time, from what I'm hearing, from boxing fans, and that gets me very excited. That's really cool to get people just paying attention and back into the sport. I hate to see any great sport just like Fizz aloud because they don't have the athletes and it's almost crazy that it even happened because there's always been so much money in boxing but for that fight he plans on gaining some weight and it looks like that fight's gonna

happen much April-ish of 2019 so stay tuned and keep your eyes out for that one. Whether he can gain some weight or not, he's not even sure. He feels like he eats a ton and isn't gaining weight. I mean, maybe that's his metabolism. I don't know that he needs it for this power, but probably if he could lean a bit more, I don't know. I don't know what he's trying to do with a more way.

I say, I don't know. I don't know a lot about boxing in that sense, but if you've already got the power, what is the way you're gonna do except slow you down? I mean, I don't know. You answer that question. If you know more about boxing than me, which you probably do.

If you know anything about boxing, then I'd love to hear about why. I wish that had come across in the podcast. I wasn't really too sure why gaining more weight would help. Other than if he plans on just having so much power, he can launch somebody out of the ring, which would be pretty impressive too. I mean, I guess in a sense you have to say you didn't hit Tyson hard enough, but oh my god, I don't even know how you could hit anyone more than that. So he even said though, which I really think is cool and shows his loyalty that gaining weight was not even his idea. It was his teams and he respects

his team a lot and if they come together and vote and say look what we think you need to do this, he goes with his team and that shows a lot of respect. He's not letting his ego get ahead of him which is important. You've got to stay grounded for anything in life. When you start to like two fighters too, when you get to know them, you know, in this way on these podcasts, in these long form conversations, it's gonna be hard for me to pick a favorite, like I'm English, so I kinda wanna go with Tyson.

You know, but at the same time, I don't know, I just wanna watch two great, amazing fighters do their best and just enjoy where it comes out and I guess you know Joshua the English fighter is up to fight the winner But if I was him I wouldn't want to fight either of those guys. That's for sure and Yeah, the big things that came across in this conversation for me that I really liked is how chilled, wild it is.

You just don't see that in his little short form interviews, but he's chilled and well thought out. He cares about a lot of people around him. He wants to be the best. He trains to be the best. He showed a lot of respect around him. He wants to be the best, he trains to be the best, he showed a lot of respect for Tyson, didn't talk shit and it's really impressive. So definitely check out this conversation. Another great MMA one I've been big in up the MMA podcast for a while but they're really starting to grow on me.

They are really exceptional conversations and if you if you're not huge into like the fight world either MMA or boxing whatever you know and but you like Joe Rogan check out more of these podcasts because they are quickly becoming some of my favorites.
