This is an I-Heart podcast. Revely, Revely. Look at us now, tip to... Oh, Jesus. Do you want a margarita? Oh my God. It's us doing what we love. It's time to bang.

Oh, yeah. Live from Las Vegas, the fight is here. It's Canello Crawford Fight Week, live at the Fontaine Blue. Just one more sleep, as John Attic would say, from Saturday night's Netflix Superfight, Canelo Alvarez, versus Terrence Crawford. This is morning combat. that. My name is Brian Campbell next to me. Of course, the great Luke Thomas will be here as part of this All the Smoke Live Fest for the next hour, getting your prime pump and ready for Canello Crawford, Noce, UFC as well on Saturday. Luke Thomas, every time you step foot in this city, you lose a little bit of your soul.

Yes, and dignity. Dignity, the end of your life. Yes. How are you feel in general about this Canello Crawford buzz this week? It's, well, it's been an unusual week, more broadly. We'll just leave it at that. When you say broadly, are you talking about the females in the city this week? No, you are. Okay. But Canello Crawford imaging and signage is all over the city.

I was at the other end of the strip. I was at Mandalay Bay. And just from getting from there to hear, there's signs, the cab has it, the magazines, the key cards, the inside of the restaurants. I mean, it's just packed wall to wall. what it will look like today at the Wayans. I don't know. What it will look like tomorrow at Allegiant. I think it's part of the storyline.

We're all pretty curious. But it's definitely, there's no secret. Canella Crawford has arrived in Las Vegas. No doubt about it. And this episode of Morning Combat is brought to you by Draft Kings. And you already know with Draft Kings. The crown is yours. It is Friday, September 12th.

The big fight goes down tomorrow. You know, any memories from 9-11 yesterday, Luke? We should have done MK yesterday and done an all-night. 9-11 episode and then just let you do your 10 minutes to stand up you know and then we can follow with a jan 6 special yes and then we'll get the emails from hr that we've been officially relieved of our duties all right we got the firings out of the way um fight week is how was your fight week it's been wild weird wacky radio row here yesterday i got a shout out netflix pr ufcpr uh we had a really random mix of guests and it was awesome i've got a

a uh a live uh i'm not alive a a tape stream of interviews you can check out on the brian Campbell experience right now, but we had WWE stars in here, we're celebrities, there was a lot of crossover, and it's fitting, right? Like, say what you will about this fight. We haven't had one that felt this big, outside of some of those outliers like Jake Paul

Mike Tyson in like a really long time. Like, that's an absolute fact. And I think the closer that we get to fight night, you can correct me if I'm wrong. The idea that Terrence Crawford might be able to do this is becoming more and more apparent regardless of who you're picking at the end of the day. Certainly feels that way. Now, Canello could throw

some serious cold water on that tomorrow, so I guess we'll see. But I feel like I share your sentiment about the nature of the fight week itself, about the fight. Did you watch both of those Netflix preview episodes? Dude, I have to say, they were really good. I went in there wanting to hate on them, and I left being like, I can't freaking hate on them. They're too good. We all love Showtime All Access, HBO 24-7. This felt like a prime version of that, right? Yeah, there was, I mean, there was a couple of the ways in which, you know, these two have been on a collision course forever. I'm not so sure that that's exactly true, but if you didn't know Terrence or Connollo, you certainly got to know them. And one thing we've been talking about, you've seen it

this week, you've seen it at the press conference, to a lesser degree of the press conference, dude, Terrence is on edge? And I got to say, I don't, I'm not one of these guys who can do like, oh, look at the armchair psychology. Is he in Canello's head? Yes. But Canello's got an edge this week, too, that we've covered many Canello fight weeks. And he does get a little bit short. You would agree. It gets a little bit short when it comes time for Wayans and stuff. But he's been unusually a little flexing. You know what I mean? You could say this is the first fight that the public truly believed

Canello could lose since Dimitri Beavall in 2022. And over the totality of that stretch, even before that, we thought there could be challenges against Canello, but the idea of could he lose? That's in the air this week. If I made one more point that I forgot to make, but I want to make as many points as you'd like.

I want to add on, which is I don't know ultimately how big this fight will be. There's questions like, is it going to be bigger or not than Dravante and Tank, which will also be on Netflix? I don't know the answer to that. We'll see it's an Allegiant tomorrow. It's the third biggest gate,

but of course the other two biggest gates were at T-Mobile, not at Allegiance. So, again, we'll see how big it is in the end. But to the point you raise, American boxing has missed this. It has been a while in American boxing since there was a fight like this taking place on U.S. soil. So when the dust settles, we'll inventory everything.

But I have, can I am I allowed to say, I have missed this. I have as well. And I think, you know, American poet Max Cullerman, and said it best yesterday at the press conference. If Turkey Alashik was never born, we would never be here right now. I didn't know he was a religious prophet

that he needed to be treated as such. You have to understand your origin story. Tomorrow, of course, Canello and Crawford and Netflix has a chance to change boxing history, bringing you the fight of one of the biggest fights of this century, certainly the fight of the year, Terence Crawford, unbeaten, explosive,

and one of only four fighters in history to become undisputed in two weight divisions. You have a chance to become the first male to do it, in three weight divisions tying, of course, Coloresa Shield record. Get ready for the fight. The boxing world has been waiting for. Kennell Alvers versus Terrence Crawford in an epic battle for the undisputed super middleweight

championship. You can watch it live on Netflix, Saturday night, 9 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Pacific main card start live on Netflix. We had to, we wanted to make this such a great show that we need to bring in some royalty here. We need to bring in somebody to break it down with us who dresses better than us, who has a better reputation than us. That's not saying much, though. Shared the ring possibly with Bud Crawford.

That's true. And who is one of my favorite Americans. Showtime, Sean Porter. Bring him in here. Bring him in here. We'll hand the mic off to you, and then Brian's just going to leave. Nice to see you.

How are you? Of course, the host, the proprietor of the Porter Way podcast. By the way, your co-host, making some waves out there. Even you guys talking about it, huh? Sean's are tell. We saw pieces of

him on the sidewalk outside, but, you know, he does have, does have some brass ones that fellow. I actually believe that because I haven't heard from him since that moment. Sean, in all seriousness, where so every time you join morning combat, the rent goes up and people are like, why isn't he on the show full time? And I'm like, do you know how much he charged him? Sean, we love the sexiness of this matchup. You're an inside boxing expert.

You gave one of the most, maybe the most credible performance against Terence Crawford. Madramov did as well last year in a different way. What stands out to you the most when you look at this fight of like the one thing you just want to see happen? Like what, you know, the one question you want to answer, what is the element of this fight that gets you the most used? I think the probably the biggest element to this fight is King Crawford take the power. I think that's like the biggest element of this one. There's no question that he might be able to outbox Canello. There's no question that he might be faster than Conello.

There's no question that that Canello can take a punch. So he's going to, you know, we expect Conello to take. maybe those are the two biggest questions can they take one another's punch why wouldn't you would agree conello's chin legendary right legendary um battle tested by some of the biggest punchers this is what i'm up against do i believe that crawford is has more ways to win as a pure technical boxer i do right but the problem is you've got a guy with an all-time chin so knocking him out not a simple proposition and then you've got to beat a guy on the cards that constantly wins on the cards when you leave you least expect it. So how do you beat that guy? I don't know, man. When you got a Floyd Mayweather draw in that fight, I think that one, one, 14, 114, C.J. Ross.

There was a draw in that. And then one judge had Canella Arvarez beating Dimitri Beavall, if I'm not mistaken. No, 7-5 for Bevall and all three scorecards when I think most of us thought Bvall won nine, right. It was more like nine, three. You do the map from there. What is it, uh, 10-2? Dude, even the Laura fight or the first six, seven rounds of the, what was the guy, Austin Trout, Austin Trout.

Even that one, you're like, because that's when they did the open scoring, you're like, how are the scores this wide? Right. Yeah, how was it 8-0 Canello? I was a score. I think the reputation is, I mean, because you would think that the reputation of Floyd Mayweather was enough for him to win decisively, extremely decisively the way he did in the ring. And can Crawford win a decision? I think that he can. I think that, you know, the funny thing is I think that the subliminal messages have

been enough for judges to realize that if he's winning this fight, he's going to have to win it on the scorecard. And so I think that there are subliminal messages that are sent across the waves of boxing. And I think that judges just can't ignore it. You can't not see it. You can't not hear it, whether they talk amongst themselves or not. And I think that for the first time for Crawford or Conello's career, he's probably getting in the ring with someone that judges have been giving those subliminal messages that he might lose this fight. And if he does, it's going to be on the scorecard.

And somebody who is giving him the death stare during the faceoff. Can we show to that footage of the face off at Thursday's press conference from T-Mobile Arena? So my first evaluation here, Sean, is the size difference doesn't look different. But number two, are we overplaying the fact that the death stair came in and the fact that, as Roy Jones pointed out yesterday on the ring post show, Bud made sure Canello looked away first. You're a real one. You faced off with Terrence Crawford. Does that actually matter? Dude, you love body language shit.

I love bodies for days, all right? I don't care about not looking away first. I just didn't care. Once I saw what I felt I needed to see, I made you feel me. It was enough. We're done here. I had to see that And I really wanted to see that

I hadn't had an opportunity to And I think that the look we see Today and the way in that faceoff It's going to be guarantee you It's going to be a little different than we saw right there What I saw right there was I'm trying to let you know that I'm ready for you Today what we're going to get

Is just this look of just extreme I'm here to kill I'm lethal and I want you to know it There's going to be a different look today I'll guarantee you guys pushed him in the third press conference and that seemed to send a message here yeah i'm i'm hijacking this let me get one more and i'm sean porter because because i have so much respect for the the game plan and the performance you had against crawford what and the strategy yeah like the strategy

like stuck with you too long and what are you doing pops throwing in that or another another topic for another day uh what does canello and any other opponent not know about crawford that even you found out the hard way that could be a difference maker. You know, for me, the entire fight, or not the entire fight, but for a lot of the fight, it was going the way I needed it to go. It was going the way I hoped it would go

and the list goes on, but I'm looking at this dude and he is not budging off of him knowing that he's going to win this fight and that he just never gave me a sense or a feeling that he was bothered. And I felt like I specialized. and making people uncomfortable in the ring.

Never made them uncomfortable. Canelo's, he's used to guys being uncomfortable in the ring. That's what Connolla's going to see. That's going to, probably since he fought Floyd Mayweather, this will be the first time he's staring at someone and doesn't see discomfort. If Crawford were to win on the cards, what would it look like? Not the scores, but the tactical, strategic path to get there. In other words, if Crawford would have you three,

months ago come up with a game plan what does he need to do from a boxing standpoint to leverage what he does best against what canelo does least i'm going to just tell you guys what i think is going to happen i think he's going to box and outbox and move and be slick and fast from the outside early a lot of turning i think he's going to start pushing canello back or at least trying to push cano back and i think should he win a fight on the cards i think he has to push Canello back. I think that's one of those tell-tale signs for a judge. If you're getting pushed back

and you're not being the aggressive guy, I'm used to you being, that means you're losing this. I got a feeling he's going to try to push Canello back. And if he's successful doing that in moments, doesn't mean he's going to do it an entire round or the entire second half or third of the fight just means there's going to be moments

where he really pushes Canello back. And he, as we've seen Crawford-do before, beats down his opponents. We're going to see him try to beat down Canello. We're going to see him try to emulate a lot of things we've seen him doing the past. What is your, how do I ask this? What does Canello, he looks ready to me. I saw the way in photo or the video he looked to be in tremendous condition, but it looked to me like the whole camp and you saw this in the Netflix specials. Bud's got, Bud treats Canello like the

boxing establishment. In other words, he feels like he never got the respect from the boxing establishment and he feels like that guy did and this is the final piece of the career puzzle to prove that i was slept on like there's been there's like there's an extra level of motivation whereas can no i'm not saying he's not motivated again he is in shape but they don't appear to be approaching this fight for the same reasons at all well listen this is when i do the shameless plug shout to the porta way podcast yes i had an opportunity to get in kentwick what crawford and i asked that question specifically why when did it become canello and i'll I'm assuming it was after you get and get the love,

you're expected to get after you pumbled Spence. And he said, that's exactly what it was. So taking on this fight against Canelo really is. I'm taking on the establishment. I'm taking on every single boxing fan that has overlooked me or felt like I'm not who I am. I'm going to prove it against Conno. So, yeah, I think the energy is different.

For Canello, it is what has always been. Another fight, another guy for me to put on my resume, and another chance for me to shine in front of a big, a big crowd here in Las Vegas. And so, yeah, their mindsets are different. And in a lot of ways, the mindset of Crawford's a little more dangerous. Dude, he's got a chip on his shoulder. Yeah.

For he's, to be at this age, to take on this challenge and put your unbeaten record on the line and to act like you've never been given flowers in your entire career. And I understand the mindset, that's so dangerous. Like, it's insane. Okay, in terms of the size difference, though, but an inch taller, almost four inches longer, and physically they looked the same. We know Bud has an amateur wrestling background. Did you get a feeling in the clinches with him that it's like,

that he may be able with this larger frame to push Canello back in some of these moments. Listen, I'm going to crack the cold right here. I'm going to spill the beans. I'm going to tell the truth. When you see a welterweight in the ring, he's naturally a middleweight. Some welter weights are naturally super middle weights, cutting down to get to a weight class that they feel they're going to be the best they're going to be optimal. So when we're talking about Terrence Crawford being a well-to-weight or a

junior well-to-weight, junior middleweight, understand that he was already a middleweight coming down to welterweight. When he was fighting at 140, he was already a middleweight coming down to 140. Nothing new there except to y'all. Do y'all, y'all understand him being a little guy and he's never been a little man. Yes, he was thinner. You get a moment. opportunity to eat what you need to eat the protein, putting his body on top of that being able to hit the weights the way that he needs to or needed to

to put on what I call healthy weight. He's going to carry the weight fine. His body's going to be acclimated to the weight because guess what? Why he's been out of the ring for 13 months, he's been working with that weight for 13 months. So he's good. Right, he did the opposite of what Jermel Charlo did when he fought Canelo.

Exactly. Not any added exactly. He did everything that he needed to do. He took what's called an intelligent and scientific approach to this. And when you're getting in the ring with somebody like Canelo Averez, when you talk about bringing it all, that includes the nutrition, those intellectual methods and all those.

He's ready. Let's talk about the Madramal fight. Not too loud. No, no, no. We like it loud. I mean, The Undertaker's here at Triple H. You might be auditioning for a... You looked over there.

I was like, is somebody behind me. Sean Michaels is here. I mean, come on. What? I don't know who half these people are. All right. I do know Undertaker. All right.

In terms of the Madrimov fight, let's have a critical eye. Yeah. Most, not to be like critical for sport, but just imagine for the premise, the biggest concern you would have about Crawford heading into this fight, based on what you saw in the Madrimov fight, which, of course, was at 54, it would be what? It would be that he's going to eat some punches. And is he going to be able to sustain the punches that he's going to take from Canelo? We saw him take clean right hands from Israel, Madrimov.

off. And like I always say, and I feel like I'm just always defending this kid, Terence Crawford. But at the end of the day, again, I had a conversation with him about that fight, those moments specifically. What did he say? He didn't care. He knew what was happening, and he knew that he just needed to have a knockout, and he started to just stand in there and take those points. So this is where the rubber meets the road for me. They're going to be at Allegiance Stadium. Yes. It's going to be Condello's crowd. Like, we know it's going to be. if he lands something that has a demonstrative effect, and even if Crawford hits him harder,

but Canelo no-sells it, what are the judges going to do? This is a huge factor. I'm sorry, but I got to do this. And I'll use myself as an example. No, please do. I went into this as a tournament. I went into a fight, and I fought Dimitri André, nonetheless,

and I beat him on points. And I beat him on points. He's also facing Ussick in the amateur somehow. I don't know how you do that matter. How the fuck did that happen? The long story short, right? my dad comes to my room. We're not staying in the same room,

and that was the semifinals. I got the finals the next day. My dad said, why did you fight like that? I said, well, I felt like this is what I had to do to get the win. My dad said, all right, well, you got out of your system because we need to beat us tomorrow night. And, of course, the next night, I was me. He wasn't the him that we're used to seeing.

Madrimov played a major role in that, but don't think because he didn't care about Madrimov that in his mind. He just doesn't care. he just didn't care in that moment he knows how to fix that moment so that it doesn't happen can you take that same mindset and apply it to one of the biggest questions slash narratives surrounding canello coming in the idea that maybe he was coasting in recent fights maybe when he knocks a guy down and it becomes clear that that guy's going to stop fighting back to win maybe he can coast and go the difference would you agree that canello ain't going to coast in this one that's why he's coming in the shape he's in and i've looked at that side of it too as well like you look you take a look at school you look take a look at the fight that he had against berlanga you even take a look at the fight with mungia those guys just weren't ready for canola abrex so here it is devil's advocate you're talking about 67 fights if i'm not mistaken and canela arras this is a lot of mileage but guess what recently i just been cruising i've been cruising until something like this that calls for me to to put my foot on the

gas pedal and i can actually do that because i've done it time and time again so or couldn't it be rusty too that he hasn't done it in a while it might take him a while to get him a while to get gear. Don't do that to me. I'm making great point. Don't do that. You're right. My bad. My bad. It's a great point, though. You know what I mean? I feel like you can get lost

in the groove a little bit, especially if you're always the A side and you're always calling the shots and you don't fight David Benavides. The funny thing with boxing, though, is we have the ability to kind of turn it on and turn it off, especially the elite guys. The elite guys can turn it on and turn it off. And I really

do believe that, and I been told by a lot of experts, guys in boxing, that they feel Conella was awake for this one and he hasn't been as awake in other fights and I believe that. Do you think there is evidence to suggest in this last chapter of, the latest chapter of Canella's career that he has a strong performer rounds 1 to 6 and fades 7 to 12? Sure. I think he starts a fight probably mid-A and he finishes a fight at

a minus um there have been maybe a couple of fights where he finished the fight b plus still a hell of a lot better than everybody out there so with this one he's got to maintain that a level yeah if he doesn't guess what you got a guy who's actually going to see little moments where you start the waiver and little i'm telling you i saw it myself he actually has the ability to see when you waiver and when you take these little laws and those little moments and Conello's notorious for having moments where he's just going to just coast and I'm going to manage this clock and get through this round.

And those are going to be the moments that Bud and his team are prepared to find. How does Conello back up Bud? Just behind the jab? It feels like it's going to be a little bit more too. Him and the shoulders and arms, I say, right? I think that the jab for Conello's key. I think he's got a snapping fast jab that we haven't seen in a long time. I think that's a jab that like we always, like we know in boxing, the jab really established.

is everything. It can get your opponent off his rhythm. It can establish that range and that distance. The jab is key, I think, for Canelo. In terms of pushing butt back, I think that it starts with the jab for him. Not necessarily the feints. The faints are going to do it for a little while, but he's got to do something off of those faints. Could you tell us how you ended up having an amateur fight with Alexander Usick off topic here? But I need to get the story because I've never asked you, and did you know he was that guy? Seventy-five kilos in the amateurs. I'm 165 pounds is what I fought at. Known for being a football player,

I played football around 175, and my dad was like, we're going to get down on 165, and you'll fight there. I got to the weight with no problem. Usually in the tournament, I would finish the tournament around 162, 163. Good, healthy muscle weight is what I carried.

And so when you're looking at a welterweight that got in the ring with a now heavy weight, back then he was tall and thin, and I was short and thick, you know, and we made it happen. How did it go? I won that thing. Listen, he shows up at the Olympic Games in 2012, and my dad is like, you recognize that. I said, now who's that?

He said, you beat him in 2007. Remember? I was like, I don't remember him, and then he's gone to be who he is now. That's crazy. I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful for the Olympic committee. They are allowing me to come in and take a look at every single fight of film. that they have and I'm only going out for one fight I'm only going out for that one we're going

to help them itemize all of the fights and sparring sessions and all that kind of stuff but I'm like all right you guys I'm just looking for usick I'm just looking for usick so I've also noticed you've picked up one of your dad Kenny Porter's key catchphrases don't think I haven't heard you say it's been it's a long way from the lift to the cup there it is the hell does that mean I mean come on now because as close as that cup is to you you're that far away from taking the drink oh Did you not know that? I did not have that wisdom in my name. I literally just broke it down myself.

I hope that's what it means. So. Amazing. What do you got going on with the Porterway podcast? The Portaway podcast. We'll be live. Your friend has an amazing Philly shirt. Yeah.

That's an amazing Philly shirt. That guy right there, man. I'm hanging out right there. That's J.Y.D. You guys, follow him on, on the social media. He does terrible Jones. And I don't know how much you guys know about Philly, but the Jones. Oh, yeah.

I'm in these kids, guys. I like Philly a little bit. really flipped. It made it something. So, but anyway, on the Floyd Podcasts can be live at the Hyderx Arena on 11 a.m. Nice. We're in conjunction with the Nevada Box on Hall of Fame. So we're going to have some Hall of Fame is there. Okay. We're recapping the whole weekend. And we take two hours to do it. Turkey Alashika is an honorable member of the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame. Yes. I know that.

When is the, when is the Inaway fight? In a way Sunday. Sunday. Inway is Sunday. Live on the top rank Facebook page. How did that happen? 2005 is back Have you gone public with a prediction for Canelo Carford? I have, yeah. Would you mind sharing that?

I don't mind. What I'm going to say is watch my social media after two rounds, possibly with this one, I might give it three, and I'll make my definitive, this is how this fight is going to go. Because Tim Bradley says K-O for Bud. I'm not mad at him.

If the K-O happens, it happens late. I have Bud winning this fight. When put it past this guy to get a nine, knockout, should he get a knockout? I don't know if Tim was specific. It's not going to come the way everybody thinks. It would come via. It's not going to come the way everybody thinks. Everybody thinks that because, but that because Conello took every single punch that Triple G through. Oh my God. It's true. It's going to come a little different from that. So it's going to come the punch he doesn't see coming. There it is. There it is. Because Triple G is,

is straight ahead meat and potatoes. It's, it's elite meat and potatoes. Some of the greatest we've ever seen. By the way, Hey, against Tim Bradley would have been a barn burner, okay? I want to close with this

and it's always great having Sean Porter. Absolutely. You got like a suit business now, like a tailoring thing? Yes, I do. A bespoke tailoring business? I have a bespoke tailor business.

Could you tell us about this? Because I want to say, is it in my tax bracket? I want to be outfitted in short quarters. It is. No, I've seen you on TV enough now to know that you get enough checks. You can afford a hair his ass out. You can afford a Sean Porter suit.

And that's exactly what our, what our suit line is. I want, I want, like, my name in, like, the... I wish I had done it today. I didn't wear my stuff that has everything on it, but yeah, yeah, no. Can anyone sign up for this? Yes.

Be mindful of your tax bracket. I will say that. But we're not punching anybody in the mouth. Yes. But this is Sean Porter-Suces Services. So I'm a Christian. Part of being a Christian is serving. And so we come to you, we serve you.

We bring all of the lining and all of the fabrics to you. We fit you top to bottom. And we put a little pizzass on there, something that you didn't know you could get. So, like, normally I would have different buttons and all this other kind of stuff. You got, guys call me sleeping the day. Okay. Some of the Christian service, though, is washing a man's feet. You don't want to see my bunions, though, okay?

We don't go that far. I got the kind of toenails that tell a story. We don't go that far. Okay. Listen, this is crazy enough. You say that I'm the best dressed man here, but your socks, like, really go into your shoes. You know, I got— You don't see where the shoe ends and where the sock begins.

Sometimes. Sometimes I've got a little. little game. One time I had game and I got married. Sean Porter, it's been a pleasure to have you on here. Always nice to see you, Sean. Everyone should be rocking your, uh, your podcast, your coverage moving forward. Thank you very much. Yes. Appreciate you guys. There he is.

Nice to see you again. Always, always, always. There he is. Wow, I could go about two hours with that guy. Yeah, of course. We could do a whole show. We will have, of course. Look at him. Look at him. Put that camera on SP. Would you please? There it is. Yeah.

Sean Porter All right I'll wear a wire No problem about it Luke Thomas We're going to get into UFC Notet and all that stuff But we got to break down ourselves What we feel like this fight is going to look like

Has anything that has transpired this fight week Altered your perception of how the fight might go I was waiting to see if Canello Was slipping or lacking in some kind of way I didn't see any evidence of that I was waiting to see if he lost his temper at some point or somebody got to him. I didn't see

much evidence of that. I don't, I haven't seen everything he's done in media, obviously, particularly in the Spanish language. I don't know what to read from that. He looks to me ready to rock at the same time. I have no doubts about him. I really don't. You have doubts about Crawford's readiness? It's not doubts. It's Will

Crawford elevate to a level I'm not prepared for like he did in the Earl Spence fight. Yeah, I mean, this is what I'm stuck between, and I mean this quite genuinely, right? I am stuck between what I Sean Porter, which was how do you beat a guy that never seems to lose on the cards that again, at Allegiant Stadium, it's going to be Canello country

up in that bitch. And at the same time has one of the most legendary chins of our lifetime, right? I can't, I can't, it's hard to know who has a better chin than him who fought during our coverage year. Triple G, but that's it. That's about it. I mean, that's about it. We're talking like an all-timer. And then at the same time,

you know, so you have that on one side, at the same time, I said after Bud Crawford beat Errol Spence that I would never ever doubt him again. After what I witnessed that night, I was so moved, I thought it was so insane, it can't possibly be the case that this guy

could lose to anyone. But this is at 68 and it's Canelo, and I don't know what to do with this. I honestly don't know what to do with this. And that's the best part about the fight. That's why this fight works so well. Because I don't think anybody else could be in Bud's spot and we could have this level of confidence that's possible, that the betting lines would be

this close. What is Bud? Like a plus what 175 or something i mean it's so close i'd have to look it up but i'm it's not it's not what you think yeah in boxing even when we are complicit in that it's a close fight you'll still see minus 450 as the favorite right it's it's just wild to me history will change i was on ock and baroque's live stream yesterday and we're trying to say like if bud pulls this off and if you want to then say he is insert the blank mount rushmore top five top 10 pound for pound all time the go now am I going to put him above, you know, Sugary Robinson and Ali? No, but I don't think there's a ceiling or cap per se on what you could say about Bud Crawford.

If he goes in there against a version of Canello that I'm telling you still has it. I know this about this man. This is the history. I made shed tears like you did after Spence Crawford because if I see this happen on Saturday and play out, that would be a humbled man. I just can't fathom him treating Canello like a bitch. Yeah, like busting him up. you know what I mean?

Because I've seen Canello kind of pushed back. I've seen Canello busted up, but it was Bivall doing it. So what is Porter saying that Crawford has some punch at the right moment that is going to rock Canelo? There's Oscar. There's Oscar Willis. Oh, Oscar Wild.

You know on the phone trying to ask his bookie not to break his legs, you know? Or his boss, Connor is like, you know, secure the back for me. Please, yes, yes. I mean, do you think that's possible about what Tim Bradley and now Sean Porter is saying? that it could be, I mean, who's the sharper puncher than Bud? Who combines speed and power better than Bud? Nobody. Could you really rock?

I mean, any human can be rocked if you hit him on the chin in the exact right? So I also saw Canella rocked against Koto's brother, but that was back on the Mayweather and That was in 2010. Who was it? Mayweather and, uh, no, uh, Mosley. Who are you picking? Literally 2010 and it was a three second rocking. Yeah.

And basically since then, he's just been marching people down for the most part. So I think Bud's a better boxer. I really don't have much question about that. I don't know, bro. I really, really don't know. Well, you're going to have to put a prediction down. I've switched a couple times, but the last month, I've been Canello by unanimous decision. I'm going eight rounds to four.

I will believe that there will be an argument for Bud at the end of the day because he is going to have moments. He is going to be everything that he is. And it's an all-time great right there who is taking a big shot. I cannot count out the IQ, the technique, the attention. the adaptability, the size, the everything of Big Red. Are we, like, have we lost our minds here in terms of just assuming that he's going to come out and lay down and look old? Come on.

I think he'll look good the first six rounds, but I do think it's a different ball game after the seventh. Do you think? Do you think Canelo can knock out, bud? I think he could. I don't think he will. I don't think he will, yeah. But do you think he can discipline, Bud, with the power?

Or will Bud at 37 and 9 tenths be more elusive than anyone Canello has fought since Floyd? I think he could make Bud have to resort to parts of the game plan that are low percentage. In other words, he'll come in with some ideas about what has to happen. And if it doesn't work, he's going to have to take riskier chances, you know, turn South Paul. You know, like just do stuff. Dude, I hope he turned South Paul halfway through the first round and just keeps him. You think he will? I 100% think he will give Canello as many different looks as possible.

Controlling the jab. It helps them move to the outside. It obviously lends you up for the power hand. He's almost meaner from the South Paul stands. I don't. This is what I mean. And the other part two that kills me is he goes and like Bud demolishes Spence, right? It takes a year off, which I didn't love, beats Madrimov.

It was fine. It wasn't an overwhelming win. And we just haven't seen them since. It's like there's just not a lot of tape. There's a lot of tape on Canelo recently, but against sub. par competition there's almost no tape on bud against good competition in frankly irrelevant weight class i actually think there's two years of an activity will help him it hasn't been extra damage he put on the weight the right way dude we're going to have a real fight i still go in eight four

canello where are you going i'm going to say what i think i've always been saying which is you have diarrhea um you say that a lot i do say that a lot i don't have it in this particular case um i think Cinello's going to win, but I hope he doesn't. For Bud, for the sport? Because I think what Bud is trying is more noble. And I think he's a better boxer. And the way that Cinello has so obviously ducked David Benavides is beyond disappointing. And I really have hated the last five, however many fights that Cinello was at.

So you think boxing karma and that? I don't know if boxing karma is real, but I hope that it is. But you know Terrence Crawford's real. I know Terrence Crawford is. absolutely for real well there's been a little side uh not side hustle side beef going on with terence crawford this week and another big star your boy top toria in fact the back and forth it's gotten saucy enough where i think we can bring in our friends from quervo for a little bit of shots fired bitch and of course this is shots fired brought to you by

Cuervo. Now is a good time to enjoy the tequila that invented tequila. And we're not that far away from UFC 320 pregame preview. We're going to get on that quervo. Okay. Let's, so let's recap the start of this. It was Toporia coming out and saying, I can knock out Terrence Crawford with the first punch. So it's another MMA star at the peak of their power trying to sell themselves out to a boxer. Even Dana at the press conference yesterday, when asked by Manuk Copean, like, will you be entertaining fights like this? Dana's like, I hope not. They He doesn't want fights like this. But it got back to Budat Media Day.

Here's Terrence Crawford's response. From the UFC world, Ilya says that if you guys ever boxed, he would knock you out basically the first punch. I do a drunk, you know. You know a lot of MMA guys, they drink a lot. So he must be on an alcohol that day. Luke, what do you make of this little back and forth? Much of you do about stop talking about this or what?

I hate basically everything about it. I hate everything about it. Who sang that song? Which one? I hate everything about you. Ugly Joe. And then he's like, but if the people need me, I will. Please stop asking MMA fighters about things like this, please forever.

Why is Lale end of copying every single move that, not Canello, that Connor makes, the tats? Once again, if you're going to copy a guy who had a good run, you got to get the part of the run that's been good. And not the other parts of the run that have been bad. But if you copy the good parts, there's a, I mean, it's just a normal playbook, right? I mean, it's obvious. Don't you respect Dana being like no more of these cross- crossover fights I want to do real boxing honestly like how could you not how could you not at this point like listen some there are could you can you think of some crossover permutations that

you might like going forward I'm sure that they're going to be some or some you can tolerate Wade Plemons against Jake Paul I tolerate that tolerate that we'd be cheering for Wade you know obviously but what I'm just going to say is it's like the it's not what it used to be it's not what it used to be and there's a very there's a small window for this kind of thing And especially the MMA, like in their prime guy crossing over, like, dude, the results are not a mystery. They're not a mystery. There's no mystery to it. Sarah McLaughlin would not sing a song about that at Lillifertrude.

You're on fire today would be, with the old bits. You know what I mean? This is, hey, hey, Ack in the house from Ack and Brock. Yeah, there they are. We know we love that guy right there. Dang right. Okay. So I guess.

You like my, you like my socks? No, I don't. But are the two keys? Did she pick those out? She did? Then I do like that. Okay. Then I do like them.

You are a dad, sort of. certified dad i am a certified dad i got the jokes there's a lot of celebrities in this room right now like way more famous than anybody we know you know who's here uh brian daly okay that's definitely important that's a big set you know i mean stephen esponosa's here stephen espinosa um triple h bccque i mean you know it's getting i mean marcos viegers okay all right no okay back to the regular schedule yeah i'm just looking around i don't notice a lot of famous people i notice some okay A lot is a strong word. We've got another event this weekend.

It goes down in San Antonio. 6 p.m. Eastern main card start time for all things. Noce UFC. And of course, talk about the back burner. Whoa. Red-headed step-chowlo. Dude, isn't it crazy? I mean, I get it, right? I get it.

Like, if you got to focus your attention on something, it's definitely got to be this. Totally get it. But at the same time, it's like, Noce UFC started out in the sphere. And now it's just insane. San Antonio like there's nothing to be Monterey Mexico was supposed to be in Monterey they did try but they got an arena where apparently the progress of construction has been too

slow that they just could not I don't think it's even done now by the way so they had to move it to San Antonio and listen obviously Rob Font versus Chuiwis was going to be a big fight but then that fell out so they lost it they lost a fight and there's been can we talk about Kelvin Gastilum

oh my God oh my God oh my God I'm told it's Wadalajara was where the fight was supposed to be that's right La Jolla Okay, okay. So, I mean, the main event is what we're mostly here for Lord James Silva, featherweight against Diego Lopez coming off of that vacant title loss. But you mentioned it, the Kelvin Gastilum heavyweight era could be upon us. He missed weight for his middleweight contest against Dustin Stolfus, correct?

That's right. By five pounds. At middleweight, not at welterweight. Is the fight still happening? So he was, listen to this. This is the last I saw before we got on air. I don't know if something has happened since we got on here. He was fined 35% of his purse for the weight miss.

When you consider between the taxes, it's going to be closer to 40 to 50% of what he loses, plus the 35 from this, plus the 5 to 10% or even more that he has to pay out to coaches, trading partners, agents, and managers. And average Joe Art for creating his merch. And average Joe Art.

He's going to be potentially making nothing off this fight or even possibly in the red. It is insane to me. And I'm serious. Don't you feel bad about this? Like I would never want someone to lose their check. But if you've been missing weight in multiple weight classes for years, what are they supposed to do? What are they supposed to do?

It's tough because you know I love Kelvin. I almost feel like straight up he should go to 205 or heavyweight and just finish out the career and bangers. That's what he does anyway, right? Just go to PFL or BKFC or something. You know what I mean? I mean, UFC 236 feels like a long time ago. That was the Izzy fight? Yeah, dude, that is a long time ago.

The fight is still scheduled to move forward. That is, dude, that's bananas. That's bananas. Damn. You know what I met yesterday? A quick aside. One of the nicest people ever. A prostitute.

Wow. Wow. I mean, they do have so. I would imagine she'd be friendly. There are some nice people that have elevated to that position. Jason Anick, twin brother of John. How was he? Dude, it's like the best.

It's like talking to John. Got a big. Got a big head of hair, right? It's like, talking to it. It was great. Love that dude. You know what I'm going to?

Yeah, he was, because he was John's guy, you know, so he was here, right, right, right. He is a burgeoning star on dirty boxing with, with Mike Perry. Oh, Mike Perry is a color commentator for that. Yeah, yeah. But they got that big square belt, you know.

You seem to love, Biggie boy loves that thing in the, I like that. I like what's going on. Although, also what no one's talking about him. We will talk, no, Jay, a second. Yo-o Romero making that BKFC debut. Did you see how freaking Jackie look at the way in? How is that possible?

He's fighting the guy at Buckees who makes like the roasted almonds behind the counter. Like that's clearly who he's fighting. It's not even like it's not even one of the top three fights from the car. He's fighting Anne Eason Gibb. He's fighting Ann Evans, actually. Okay. I saw him last night. Dude, him and BKFC like I'm into that.

I'm into that. I got to say, I didn't think I'd be into it. And I'm not into BKFC more broadly. But Yowell is a, he's an outlier. I mean, he, if he is nothing else in this world, he is a freaking outlier. Is he not? Yes, he is. I don't know if you saw it the way.

And speaking of this main event, who wore that lucha mask? Was that Lord Silva who came out of? Jayon Silver Award. Yeah, that's right. He's the betting favorite. Diego has a mustache. Diego has the porn star mustache. We saw them kind of cross past in the hotel this week.

Why do young men want to look like 1970s Midwestern high school football coaches? What's the reasoning behind that? Think about it. Those guys' entire life was football and spit and tobacco and yelling at teenagers. Like, that's a pretty good life. You know what? That is a good life.

Abusing teenagers. is a great life. Lord Silva's a solid favorite here against Diego Lopez. I think we can agree, even with the fighting nerds run in the wrong direction lately, that Silva's more well-rounded than Lopez. Is it his fight to lose on Saturday? I don't consider it to be lopsided enough for me to say it's his fight to lose. I still think Diego is credentialed enough, tough enough,

well-rounded enough in terms of where he could provide threats. And again, obviously the jiu-jitsu where he could take the back, pull guard. There are ways in which he could manipulate the situation, just clinching them up, too, like ways in which this could be uniquely beneficial to him. But at the same time, I do favor Jayon Silva to win. I just feel like Diego has wrestling. I don't know if it's good enough to make a difference. One thing about Silva, now we know more about Kyo.

We knew a lot about him, but now we know more certainly about Hoofy. but Silva has passed more tests to this point than some of these other guys have. And I think that is a, dude, Bryce, you know, I don't want to go fishing with pre-Meth Hitler, but if you're just assessing his grappling, it's not bad, it's good. Is it elite? No, it's not elite, but he couldn't do shit to Silva. So that tells me Silva's got something going on. The one thing that is different, though, is five rounds at a UFC level against a battle-tested guy

who's not going to be playing games with you. You know what I mean? He's not going to be doing all the robot and shit. And Silva does that stuff when he, I wonder, it's not a liability against guys when you're way better than them. But if you're a little bit better than them, it can be a liability.

And I just wonder what that pressure looks like if it goes to the fourth, fifth round, and he's still out there doing, you know, Tony Ferguson's robot or whatever, you know. Or Cody Garbrand's robot as well. Cody Garbrand's got a good robot. Let's talk about Diego Lopez. I feel like the manner in which he lost to Volcanovsky in that vacant title bout

maybe exposed the limitations, the lack of full well-roundedness in his game. Is there enough time in this camp to turn that around? Are you expecting to see Adela Lopez, who has heard the criticisms, has reacted and has raised his game, and maybe is being slept on entering this fight? I definitely think he looked to be in tremendous physical condition, which is, you know, to be true. he certainly as I mentioned battle tested but the issue in the Volk fight was a it was a small one but a big one where he simply could not change cage positioning and he could not cut off the cage and he got

eaten alive for it on the one hand he's got a good guard and he's got good power he's got good cardio he's got a good double leg he's got good chokes from the back he's got a lot of different things he does well but BC that is a foundational kind of skill and Volk just not made him look, you know, second tier as a consequence. I don't think Silva has the same kind of positional discipline to do something like that, but can you take advantage of a guy whose positioning is relatively predictable? Dude, yes, you can. You can feast on guys like that.

So, you know, I mean, Silva's got his limitations and Lopez has his limitations too. It's just a question of who's going to be better about, you know, implementing them. as you already know folks this episode of morning combat brought to you by draft kings draft kings as always you know the crown is yours uh we talk a lot about downloading that draft king's pick six app and and really looking at this card from that standpoint of picking your fighters looking at the categories and then going more or less when we do that for this main event of lord sylva against deigo lopez and if i'm looking at silver draft king's pick six right now has the old the more or less on significant strikes over five rounds as 57.5 for Silva.

You're going more or less on that this Saturday. So the over under 57 and a half, I'm going to take the over on that one. I think you're going to get a lot of action. I'm going to take the over. Okay. Give me the over. I think you're going to get a guy who's,

he can be selective, right? He can kind of look and do a bunch of stuff. But I think over the course of that bout, he's going to have to pour it on at times. Give me the over. Diego Lopez said at 55 and a half significant strikes. Definitely taking the over on that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 100% taking the over on that.

Here's a key part of handicapped in this fight. The over under, the more or less on takedowns on the Draft Kings pick six app, 0.5 for both fighters. Successful takedown. I'll take the over on that as well. Now, because Silva can be taken down, but he can get up. That's another component to all of this, too. So, yes, I do think there'll be.

I don't think zero takedowns, that sounds plausible. I mean, yeah, I mean, I guess it could be, but I want the over. Well, look, with Draft Kings, you already know the crown is yours.

There's been a little bit of a recycling of the big names to, Puria Holloway gone, Volk back on top. The winner of this could be, especially if it's Silva right now, right? With the streak, with the momentum, for all we know, he could be getting ready for a title shot. Who gets their hand raised after five rounds if it goes that long in San Antonio on Saturday? Well, they're both Brazilian, I suppose, but give me the Brazilian Brazilian, not the Mexican Brazilian.

I like Jayon Silva in this one, and I think one factor that I've not seen a lot of people talk about is a lot of times guys will be in title fights and they'll lose. and then their rebound fight goes poorly. And I feel like that's going to happen to Lopez here. At least there's a good chance anyway, that that could happen to Lopez here. Now, of course, the challenge to that BC is, well, the fighting nerds are riding poor momentum at the same time,

which is also true, but I don't know how much that extends exactly to Silva. But I just think when you're missing foundational kinds of skills, and by the way, out of that camp that Lopez comes from, it's not just him, it's several fighters in that camp that all have cage cutting problems. This is not a problem you can solve overnight. You can certainly make big strides, but it's not a problem you can solve overnight

and laziness, not laziness, but your old habits will take over the longer about goes. I like Silva to win this one. Stoppage, I don't know. That seems a little harder to predict, but I think three to two, four to one, it's going to be Jayon Silva. Shaq Mijori, friend of the show,

often texts you for things. He reached out on that block list now. He showed me this UFC produced thing that's kind of under the radar showing Silva's backstory and sort of the reason why he's here and the trauma he's endured. Have you heard this in Brazil how he grew up? Like, witnessing his mom

being assaulted and then his mom had a fight off, an attacker, and went to jail, like all this, like, insanity that he's seen, witnessing his mom getting raped, all this stuff, and essentially that he was on the verge of taking his own life until Mauricio Hoofi in the recent years talked him out of it.

That's some heavy stuff right there. That's a journey, man. That does something to you. You know, and I hate to say this, but we know what to be true. We've just seen it in the fight game. Certain people go through what can often be, not always, but what can often be unspeakable trauma. And they can use that trauma to really give them a purpose and a fire inside. And I hate to say that, I don't want them to experience it, but we've just seen it too many times. These guys who come from rough backgrounds, they are motivated to leave those rough backgrounds. And they've got a certain fire in their belly that can really

propel them at times it's unfortunate that those things are connected but they just are that guy shows so much joy in the big moments the bright moments he also shows intensity leading up to these fights i was going to ask you do you feel like sylva is intimidated by the scope and size of the event you know UFC main event i do not feel that way he wants it all he's he's wired for this like i think he gets his hand raised i think it'll be a tougher fight than people are starting to jump on the the bandwagon here against uh diego lopez who who's ready in game and all that but i'd like to see if Silva can do this and what he might mean in the title picture, the kind of damage that he can do. And we should say if Lopez gets his hand raised, dude, that's a credible bounce back.

Yeah. You know, because he got kind of got undressed a little bit against Volk to come back against a surging contender who had a dominant win in his last fight, who's got crazy striking the whole time. That's a big deal on a big stage. That's a big deal to be able to do that. So, you know, whoever wins here is getting a real scalp into their collection, no doubt about it. Is there anybody who's the next in line for the type? I'm trying to think of where we're at. So Lorone Murphy, you would imagine.

Yes, I want him together. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you would imagine. But like someone was also asking me this week, is there, is there a way? Is there a way for Silva if he wins? Not, not for Lopez, but if Silva wins, is there, can he, can he win in such a way as to leapfrog Lorone Murphy? And I would say, he's, dude, if he goes out there and let's say he knocks out Lopez in round three, for sure he's leapfrogging Mothar, for sure.

the question is, you know, what Murphy did against Pico, I don't know. I don't know about that. That's a little harder to say, but possible, possible. All right, Chihuis out of that co-main event, Rob Font, looking for three straight wins and in what we thought might be the twilight of his run here, taking on the last minute replacement, David Martinez, a lot of the scouting reports I've seen is Martinez might not be ready for this kind of smoke. How do you look at it?

I don't think so. I mean, Rob Font is older, and therefore he's going to have a degree of vulnerability. But, you know, while I don't think Rob Font is in his prime and I don't think him in coaches will tell you that they are another battle tested very credentialed very experienced well-rounded opponent that was why the fight with chihuis was interesting because like dude rob faunt is older and rob font is a little bit a little bit you know shop worn but still viable is highly experienced against very good fighters super well-rounded that's a good test for chuiwis but we lost it and so you know we're just going to call him chuiis i think mike owens media of liverpool fame is like an

adopted member of team font the new england cartel Yeah. Yeah, he might be. All right. I got to get out to Liverpool. I want to see Liverpool. I'd like to do that, too. We'll retract the Beatles history, all right, together. You know what? I feel like that's the right of every cracker who loves old school music. We don't have the technology to bring in Long Island Luke to get his undercard bangers here.

But the lightweight Rafah Garcia, Jared Gordon fight, the odds are close on this one. I see a lot of people spotlighting it as a potential good fight. Yeah. Gordon has had a few fights where you're like, I think this guy should have won, or he did way better than I thought he was going to. Tough fight against Rafa, but, um, yeah, I think Gordon's got a real shot there. Alexander Hernandez, it lightweight also against Carlos Diego Faheda, who's, that is a, could be at toward the end of his run as well, but. So Carlos Dika Faheda, a very technical guy, got limits.

We've seen them, but a good black belt, kind of in that Rob font, older, but highly experienced and pretty, pretty credential for the most part. Alex Hernandez had a great win over Chase Super in his last contest coming right back in it so is he staying hot with this or is he coming back too soon? That's a fun-ass fight between two guys who have you know, there's still got a lot to, there's still a little bit of gold

left to mind for them, you know? Danny Chiguerga's guy, Claudio Poetius, is also back there as lightweight against Joachim Silva. The last thing I wanted you to say about this was, do you think Tatiana Suarez bounces back in her women's strawweight bout against Amanda Limos? She was asked whether her, and Patty have been

sorry Patty mixed right patchy patchy mix what I'm saying Patty yeah yeah about whether they've been overwhelmed by the negative criticism against them and they were like we don't listen we don't effing care um I'd like to see her back I would like to see her this I would say stylistically if someone is getting finished via standing head and arm triangle by Jessica Andrage yes Andraj has an incredible squeeze but that just seems like someone who might be

vulnerable in the grappling department to a you know a forward pressure wrestler well she should win that's what I would say she should win. All right.
