The Sharp Tank, no jumper.
Sharpest, coolest podcast in the world.
And today, we got a real knockout artist up in here.
I know you got homes.
I know you got some, I know you got some harms on you.
I got, hey, man, I got Sean Garcia in the building today, ladies and gentlemen.
And we got pops.
That's right.
What's going on, man?
All right, man.
We're doing great here.
How's everybody feeling today?
I love it.
I know you got to be proud of him.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
I've been problems since he started.
So, Sean Garcia, any relations?
Ryan Garcia?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know it for a bit.
Run it for a bit.
A little bit.
Yeah, a little bit.
I know it.
So, man, so I say, man, let's dive into it, man,
because I want to know, like, what happened in Korea, man,
before the fight, man.
Walks through the last three days of that.
Man.
I don't know.
It was just a different environment.
It was a good opportunity.
I felt great, you know, to be in the, you know.
I was actually, I shared the ring with Paciel.
That was dope.
He's been a fighter that I've always been, you know.
That's dope, bro.
That's a guy to be an honor.
So it was an honor.
Yeah.
And just to be, like, in the same room as him, you know.
But, like, to see everything that he done, like, on the screen,
they brought back memories.
Like, this is what boxing is about.
He really, like, he showed what boxing is, you know?
He fought for a reason and you can see it.
How humble he is.
That's how I like to be.
I like to just be humble and fight.
He loves fighting.
So that's what I want to do.
That's what I do.
I just love fighting.
So just being in the atmosphere, everyone's so nice.
Career is dope.
He wasn't a big talker neither.
As a fighter, like he didn't do that.
You know what I'm saying?
Like the muscle talk from the mouth first.
Like he just got in there.
I honestly have never seen it.
I've never seen him talk like shit.
Yeah, I never have either.
I'm just being honest.
What you think?
Well, you know, his skills says it all.
Yeah.
I mean, that's what I'm seeing.
He doesn't really talk much.
He was out there smiling a lot, you know, shaking people's hand.
Very humble.
Taking pictures, very humble.
But, man, when he got to work, he saw it.
He saw that work.
And I appreciate that because I know that my sons are doing the same thing.
Right.
But his caliber is way up there.
Yeah, no, his caliber is crazy, man.
And much respect to Pac-El, man.
And definitely put a stamp in the sport of boxing.
Absolutely.
You know, most definitely.
But those three, the three days, how long were you there in career for that?
I was there for like, like a week.
Like a week?
The last, but I wanted to know, the last, like, three days, like, leading up to that event.
What was you doing?
I honestly didn't know who the fuck was my opponent.
I didn't know who my opponent was.
I was like, bro, where's my opponent?
I didn't see him until the day of the wayans.
That's how crazy it was.
So you didn't get to do any type of, like, you know, any type of studying on this man?
No, no, I just went in there.
I was like, I don't know how he fights.
I don't know how it's stronger is.
That motherfucker was ripped.
I thought I was, when I saw about the wins, I was like, oh, fuck, I'm fighting him.
I made a comment to this one reporter, you know, because I didn't know either.
And I said, ah, man, I said, I just hope he's no Duku Kim, you know.
He started laughing.
This dude was a Dukukin, man.
Them Koreans, they don't play.
Oh, sure.
You can't, yeah, absolutely.
And he came out strong at the way in.
It was the first time me meeting him,
and he was all like, oh, hey, how you doing?
And I was just like, oh, how are you doing?
And then I didn't think he was just going to press me like that at the Wayans,
and he did.
I was like, oh, shit.
He put his fists up at him.
Yeah.
I thought he was going to be all nice.
You know, you were being on nice, bro.
He put his fist.
up to my chin quick.
I was like, fuck.
I had a pushing, but, I mean, it was great.
You know, I haven't been in the game, and, like,
I took, like, two years off, so just being back in that
and everyone's, you know, the excitement and all that, man,
it felt great.
Yeah, that's dope.
It was dope, man.
How did, what did you take from that fight when you actually got to get in the
ring with him?
Um, that I have a lot to work on, you know?
Yeah, like, well, there's just, like,
there's just so much shit that I can learn, you know,
and there's so much different people I can fight,
and I love that, you know, I love that.
I'm in a sport where we duke it out, you know, where we just fight.
So I love that.
I love that feeling that I punch you, you try to punch me.
But his technique is very, you know.
Yeah.
I like how you stand up for him, Pop's like you keep him right.
Well, you have to.
In this sport, you know, you can't play boxing, you know,
You've got to be ready, man.
You can, you know.
And I'm a coach.
I'm his coach, main coach, but I'm also his dad.
So I've got to play both roles here.
And safety is first.
So in order to make sure that he's cool in the ring and he's protected,
he's got to do his work.
And that's where I come in as a coach.
I don't think you're ever stopping fight, though.
I don't, well.
Even if I'm getting my ass beat.
No, no, no, see, that's where you're wrong.
No, I don't think you're stopping.
He wants me to be like, bro.
Come on.
Yeah, well, that's true, too.
But I don't think you're ever satisfied.
He's got to be well prepared.
I don't think I ever want you to stop a fight.
No?
No.
I'm getting beat up and I got to find something.
Would you stop it, Bob's?
Absolutely, I would stop it.
If I knew that he was just, you know, see, look it, here's the thing.
A boxer will always, from the heart will say, I'm going to do it.
I want to keep on, I'll keep on, you know.
But the mind is a different thing.
you can ruin that and then that's it.
I don't care what you say.
You know, you're done.
Your career can be over just because your heart says,
I keep on, I keep on.
So it's up to the coach to say, hey, enough is enough.
We got another day here.
And that's what's important.
That's where the experience comes in.
Live another day.
Right, live another day.
You can't just let him get his ass kick or something,
which he doesn't.
Trust me, he's a very smart fighter, very technical.
I know that because we train him that way
since he was seven years old just like Ryan
but he's very technical
very smart and you know
the way he slips the punches and all that
I mean that's beautiful
that's what you want
hit and not get hit
that's exactly what happened here
man I didn't get text
there was a problem at the end
how'd you feel and that's where I want to get to
like I want to know like because I want you to walk into the fight
did you feel like you got your ass beat
when you went no
When you fought the boy up in Korea?
No, I beat his ass.
No, I beat his ass.
Like, bro, he was bleeding on his eyes.
His face was all messed up.
I'm still looking good after the fight.
I'm like, I got this in the bag.
I won, you know?
Right, right.
I wanted a knockout.
Yeah, I wanted a knockout.
Like, but I was like, oh, I won, though.
But I wanted a knockout.
Like, I've been like, I was hitting him so hard.
But then again,
I fight at 130.
I fight at 1.30, but they didn't have no one.
So they were like, can you fight at 135?
Can you fight a 135 pounder?
And those are big dudes.
Like, a weight class, a lot of people don't understand that, like, jumping up a weight class, it's a big deal.
Even in five pounds.
Yeah, because that person, natural weight is like 149.
After he get off that scale and put that water weight back on.
That's right.
So he's coming in natural heavy, you know?
Like, oh, I'm like 148.
I went in that bid's 138.
So I fought at 135.
I only gained three pounds.
So, like, it was, it was, it was tough, but like, I was like, you know what?
I'm down.
But I didn't realize how big it was until I was face to face with him in the ring.
I was like, fuck, bro, you're huge.
So I just, I was like, you know what?
But I ain't going to bitch out.
So I was like, let's just fight.
But it was good.
I'm smart.
You know, I'm not going to let anyone like, really tee off on me.
You can't do that.
I'm not going to let that happen.
So I was smart, but I was beating his ass for one, two, three.
Fourth round, I get it.
Like, I started getting a little winded because of how hard I was throwing, how fast I was throwing.
Yeah.
How much punches I had to throw to keep him off of me.
Right.
So my punches wasn't really affecting him because of the weight class.
Yeah.
But, I mean, I know he fouled it.
You know, I was hitting him.
Oh, he felt, my hands were hurting.
My hands started hurting how much I was hitting his face.
That's what you know.
Yeah, like, that's just starting to hurt.
But the fourth round, I was like, the third round, I was like, he's going to come.
I was like, he's going to come right now.
I had told him, I said, Sean, he's.
So if I would give him any round, it would be the fourth round.
Yeah.
You know, I would give him that.
But other than that, I was beating the shit of him.
So everyone knew it.
How did you?
Okay, everyone knew it.
So when it got to the judges, what happened when the judges announced the winner?
How did you feel about that, man?
I mean.
salty tasting you mouth.
I saw it.
No, I looked at my team, you know,
only because, you know,
it kind of hurt a little bit only because, like,
this is my career, you know.
Right.
So life.
This is my life.
And I didn't lose that fight.
There's no way I lost that fight.
Like, anyone in the right mind to look and watch that fight,
I didn't lose that fight.
So I looked at my team, and I was like,
that's weird
but I'm a very humble
guy oh my god
I'm very happy that you know I was able to
leave the ring you know healthy
and his and him
as well so I didn't want to
talk shit
you know like oh fuck that I won
you know and I'm not gonna do that you know
I know I know everyone else knew I won
but you know I'm not gonna like
maybe you know maybe he was
maybe that was like probably one of the biggest
accomplishments for him ever
Maybe that was like a home court advantage too.
You know what I'm saying?
Maybe his family is watching and all that.
Hey, if he wanted, you know, you want to be happy for that moment,
oh yeah, be happy, but I know I'm better than you.
You're not better than me.
You should come running with you over here.
I told him, like, we would love to have you.
Yeah, come over here, come running.
Yeah, fuck it.
No, but I beat him over there.
I'll beat him over here.
Of course.
I believe that.
But let me tell you what happened afterward.
Oh, yeah.
He might have been humble.
But I wasn't too humble.
I was like, no.
You ain't going to do this to my boy.
We worked too hard.
I know he won.
I said, you know, I got to bring it up to the commission.
But as I was going, stepping down the ring,
I noticed a judge scratching off his scorecard.
And I used to be a judge back in the amateur days.
And you cannot change your scorecard once you wrote it down.
So he scratched like that
And I learned something in Korea
that, hey, that means
no, you know, it's bullshit.
You can't do this.
So he looked at me and I said,
you can't do that.
I said, it's wrong.
And then they were like telling me, hey, no, no, no.
I said, no, no, no, I'm not going to step away.
I said, look at that.
So immediately, I went into the locker room.
I called my wife Lisa and I told her,
I said, hey, you're going to have to check this out.
I said, because they made a change.
I said, that's not right.
And then later I found out that in South Korea,
if you win the first two rounds, the first two,
you're declared the winner.
So Sean won the first round.
I won the first three rounds.
I know.
But the second round, he won two easily.
But since.
I thought the second round was my best round.
I thought so, yeah.
And they gave it to him.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
They had given the guy a 9 and Sean a 10.
But if they did that, Sean becomes the winner.
So he scratched that, and he made it 1010.
And I have it on my phone to prove it.
It's not like I don't have it.
Yeah, I believe you, Bob.
I have it, you know.
He brought receipts today, man.
Oh, yeah.
He brought receipts to me.
I'm not just talking.
I got it.
Yeah, I hear that.
I'm not just talking.
I got it.
Okay.
And I put it up.
in social media because I was like you're not going to do this to my boy.
I love how my dad like he defends me. He steps in the places I won't go.
Now of course if he lost I'm going to say hey we got we got work to do you know but if I know my son
you won and I even told him I said you know in your heart you won right? He goes yeah
I said then you won that's good enough because I know you won and then afterwards they
They had no choice but to announce it.
So they regroup after the fight after him.
They actually made an official announcement
that they made an error on the scorecards.
But now instead of giving him the win,
they declared it as a draw.
I didn't get it.
I know it's got to suck, man.
They're like, you know, put in the man hours fly over there.
That flight is a flight.
Yeah, it's a flight for sure.
Get over there, try to, you know, get adapted to whether it's the weather, just the conditions just all around, man, and get in there and put in this work and know that you win and for them to say you lose, like, I know it's got to be devastating a bit.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
It was.
It's a mind fuck.
It's a little bit, but like, well, like, boxing is not the same no more.
It's not.
Like, what do you think about it?
Like, even though you being younger and, you know, you seem like you got real traditional boxing up under you.
See, back in the, you know, Pac-El, Mayweather, and all that,
if you were a world champion, you were fucking legit.
You know?
Like, all right, you're a world champion.
Now there's people coming up to me.
I'm a world champion.
I'm like, I don't know who the fuck you are.
And I'm just like, it's crazy to me how everyone's,
it's so easy to get a war tighter now.
But see, that's what, I feel like boxing's turning into a sport, you know?
Like, back then it was a battle, you know?
It was fucking war in that.
You know? Now it's just a sport.
People have their favorite fighters.
They know what to put the bets on.
It's kind of like basketball, you know.
Favorite team, you're going to always watch them.
No matter if they lose or not, you're a diehard fan.
I feel like that's what boxing is becoming.
And if you're trying to...
So you're...
You're saying it's coming like, I just want to step in with you.
You feel like it's becoming more of entertainment?
Entertainment.
Versus a sport?
Versus because, like, lids of my dad said, you can't play boxing, you know?
Right.
You can play basketball, you can do all this, you can be hella good.
But like, in that ring...
Throw your jabs at other sports.
Yeah.
In that ring, you're throwing down, you know?
It is different.
It is different.
And you can get brain damage in there.
I've seen it go horribly wrong.
And it's messed up.
So for us to be, we're becoming an entertainment sport now that we entertain people.
So Ryan is a favorite fighter.
People are going to like him.
People are not going to like it.
People are going to want to see him win or lose.
No matter what, they're going to watch him.
Right.
Because he brings entertainment.
Tank, he brings entertainment.
Right.
People don't like him.
People like him.
Right.
Now they want to see Ryan and Tank fight.
Right.
So it's about entertainment.
So if you're up-and-coming boxing, it's different now.
Just go for the big fights.
If you're going for World Tide or cool, you win about, it's all good, but it's about
entertainment out.
fight the fighters that they want to see.
That's more money, too.
You're trying to build up your record.
I mean, there's no really point because people are always going to talk shit.
Like, oh, you're fighting this guy.
You're fighting that guy.
It's cool to build up your record to fight these big guys, but don't come off saying, like,
oh, I'm the best fighting these type of fighters.
Just say, like, I'm building my record up.
I want to fight that guy, you know?
I got a question for you, Sean.
Like, I want to ask you as a boxer, you know, what do you think about?
about the Paul brothers, like, what do you think about them?
Like as you being a, I'm not trying to say they don't box,
but I know this is what you started on this shit
and you're probably gonna end on this shit.
I think of that man, give me some more science.
I mean, I'm proud of, I'm proud of Jake.
Jake, honestly, he's a big reason why this sport is changing.
I'm like changing it to entertainment.
He has a big pool in it.
And it sucks, kind of, you know, like, bro.
I'll come.
Elaborate for me a little bit.
Like, we're in there with killers, you know?
Like, anyone who steps in that ring, you know,
like, I tip my hat off to you because, you know,
it's a dangerous sport no matter what,
no matter who you're fighting, one punch can change anything,
but we're actually in there like, what motherfuckers
that want to kill us, you know?
Like, they're good too, you know?
So, like with Jake and everything, they're making hella money, you know, like stupid money.
And we've been doing this all our lives facing in there with killers, you know?
And for us to be making this bullshit money, it's like, damn.
Now I see what we can do, though.
If we give the fans what they want to see, we can make the bread like Jake is making, you know?
Jake's in there.
would not, I mean, he's in there with
fighters too, but they're not, like,
if you put him in there with, like, a professional
fighter, he's going to know right off the bed.
It's different. It's different. And, you know,
that's what I would like to, and, like
I said, all love to Jake,
man, his endeavors and him doing his thing.
But I think that's what
the people want to see him step in there with, like,
somebody that's around his age, somebody
that's been doing this for quite some
time. You know what I'm saying? Like you said.
But he won't do that.
Well, I mean, why not?
Because he doesn't need to.
Look how much money he's making fighting retired UFC fighters.
He don't need to.
If I didn't need to, I wouldn't either.
It sucks being in that ring, you know, having punches throwing out you with eight-ounce
gloves.
That shit sucks.
It's like a street fight.
And ain't no one who ought to always be in a street fight, but, I mean, if you have to, you will.
But that's the way boxing is.
It's a deadly sport.
That's why it wasn't really a sport.
Back then, Pac-Y'all, everyone, they went to women.
war. Like they did.
You see trilogies.
Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
But like, you don't see those too much.
I want that back, you know?
Yeah.
I want like where there's hell of people in the ring before the fight, you know, like their
entourage, that entourage, and it's crazy.
We need that excitement back.
And I don't know who's going to bring it, but I think it's going to be Ryan Tink.
They're going to bring that excitement back where, all right, these are the big fights we
want to see.
So let's get it going.
you know like devon versus i don't i say devon go try to take out t o devon devon can take out anyone
i got a lot of love for devon i remember him as a kid we have a lot of love for
we used to go to the same barbershop he was just a kid in there man with braces and they were
just talking about like yeah he's the next up-and-coming and what makes me proud of him is and i haven't
seen him since then but just like what makes me proud of him is that like he actually was
what he was projected to be right and now he's actually actually
having it, you know what I'm saying?
I feel you, though, Sean, because you're like, man, like,
I got to get beat on to hope to get a big purse.
Yeah.
Like, later on.
And then here comes people out of nowhere and all of the Jake Paul and them,
but, like, they just come out of nowhere and it's millions of dollars right off the bat.
Right off the bat.
You know what I'm saying?
Right off the bat, man.
It's crazy.
But, you know, he used his platform, you know, right, well, he did good.
That's why, like, I mean.
He did good, man.
I tip my head off to him, no hate, no nothing.
but like we're in the ring
we're in the ring with killers
and we're making 1% of what he's making.
But I do feel like
and like I said
like Jake Paul I feel like he
he already had some star power though
man.
He comes from other,
like he didn't build up off of fighting.
Like he had star power from other places
people knew him,
you know what I'm saying?
That's crazy though
how he can come into our sport
that we've been doing forever
and just change it.
He's changed.
Smart motherfucker.
That's it, by that shit.
Like, that shit is changed.
Yeah, that's for you, Jake.
For real. That's for you, Jake.
That's what for you, Jake.
I have a lot to you, don't.
Yeah, 100%.
But, I mean, yeah, I'm not hating or nothing, but, like, I'll, I'll, if I'm
going to be in the ring with a killer, I need to get paid for it, you know?
Like, I'm tired of, like, that's why I say I'm calling out all these names because
let's just fight, bro.
It's like the amateurs.
We fighting the amateurs is no different.
We're fighting the pros.
They still want to see us fight.
Everyone's going to want to see us fight no matter what.
no matter win or lose, as long as you give the fans a show.
And if you work hard, I work hard, they're going to see it.
And whoever wins, whoever wins.
I got to ask you, Sean, like, do you even like this shit anymore?
A boxing?
Like, yeah, like, I just could tell, like, you like, I hate.
Like, you was like, man, I hate that shit sucks.
Like, when I heard you say that, like, it's like, fuck.
Like, it's just like.
What still draws you in?
It's a lonely sport.
That's why I hate it.
I know a little bit about that, brother.
It's right.
It's something that...
It's so hard to make it in boxing.
It's one of the hardest things to make it
because it's like, you've got to be good.
You got to be good outside the ring.
You got to be good inside the ring.
You got to know how to talk to people.
It's not just about you fighting.
There's world champions out there that, like,
no one knows because you're not charismatic.
And it sucks.
That's how the way the boxing is.
You can be a world champion.
You can be so good,
no one knows the fuck you are.
If you're not good on the outside.
If you're not good on the outside room.
And you ain't making no money.
You don't feel like that has something to do with like promotions.
Like better promotions, like better promoters out here.
Well, they pick their fighters.
These days are a little shittier than they probably were back in the day when Tyson and them were around.
Jim, San Lennox Lewis.
People like that.
That's what I'm saying.
Back then, they didn't have social media.
They didn't have social media.
Well, because back then to be a word champion, you actually had a fucking work.
for that shit, you know?
Like, all right, look,
Devin Haney, you know,
I tip my head off to you,
but there's no way you're undisputed.
But he's undisputed.
For what?
Because you beat one guy who beat one guy?
That's stupid.
There's so many guys in that way class
that you need a beat to be undisputed.
True.
But you get undisputed
because you beat one guy
that you know damn well you can beat.
Like, that's textbook, bro.
Would you fight Devin Haney?
Devin Haney?
Fuck, yeah.
If I was, but like,
Like, I'm not that big.
Like, Ryan's a big 135-pounder.
If you look at him, you're like, fuck.
That motherfucker, I don't know how he makes $1.35.
But they're big, they're big dudes.
So that's why weight class means something, you know?
So, like, Devin, I don't know.
You were talking about the Cambosos.
I heard you about to speak about Cambosos.
Yeah, Cambos is a good fighter, but he's not as talented as Devin, you know, or like anyone.
I mean, T.O., I don't know what happened right there.
I don't know how he lost.
But, I mean, I think Cambos got lucky that night.
And he was just on one night.
Well, if you're out boxed teal, you're going to beat him.
Yeah, what you think about, Tia few more?
I don't know.
Come on, bro.
Talk about it.
We're here.
We're in the box.
We're in the sharp tank, man.
Let's talk about it, man.
For real.
I feel like these boxes, they're getting a lot.
Like, they're letting, like, these fans and, like, who you're supposed to be.
He's letting that all get in his head too much.
Bro, focus on your game.
That's it.
You're a fighter.
You've done this.
they'd have it. So fuck what they say.
Just go in there and fight.
For him to say after this fight.
He goes, do I still got it?
Do I still have it? Like, bro, you don't
fucking ask that on life.
Bro, you're in there. Yeah, you got it.
Yeah, as far as. I watched it. They caught it afterwards, right?
I was going to bring that up, but you beat me to it. It's crazy.
I was looking at it right. He was like, you think I still got it?
Like, and it wasn't in a good way for Tiafibo, Lopez, you know?
And of course, his pop's like, of course you do.
You know, you know that pops probably like, of course you do.
You know, I just want him to find his, I want him to find that strength again
because he just seems very discouraged.
You know what I'm saying?
We're fucking going there with someone, you know, again, like you went in there with Lelmanchenko,
probably one of the greatest, not one of the greatest, but one of the most skilled
fighters in the 135 division.
Would you call him more understanding?
than Devon 80?
100%.
Because Loma took it,
Loma started,
he didn't,
he took challenges
from his first fight.
Right.
His first fight was the war title fight?
Well, I think it was a second.
Versus second.
You were a title fight.
So like,
see, Loma's not afraid of talent
because he knows how good he is.
See, Loma reminded me of Pachial.
They'll fight the best.
They'll fight the best.
Right away.
You know, and that's,
That's why all these other fighters, they're trying to build the record up.
And it's like, bro, build your record of the fights that the fans want to see.
Even win or lose, that's on you, you know?
Just fight the best.
We fought the best in the amateurs.
Might as well fight the best in the world.
I know this is off story, but do you use the reflex bag that your dad created?
Oh, yeah.
How's that work?
How's that work out?
It's an amazing bag.
It's for timing.
It's for precision.
Yeah.
The bag goes everywhere.
and you just got to place your punches right,
just like someone's head.
And in that ring,
you throw down.
See, in that bag,
it doesn't move like a human
because the human can't move that fast.
So when it's spinning,
I mean, you've seen him,
you've seen Ryan hit it,
that ball goes crazy.
It does.
But, man, I tell you,
that's why they get knockouts.
They know how to place their punches.
So.
For the viewers, can they find this bag?
Yeah.
Working when they find this bag in?
W.W.W.
Ferrisreflex.com.
Best in the business.
It's out there.
And it is.
They've got similar things out there, but mine is patent.
You know, so I'm proud of that.
Patent yours.
Yeah, patent.
I had the design, the utility design.
It's a dope bag.
It's a bad.
What's your mindset, Sean, is staying in this?
Like, what's your...
In boxing?
Yeah, what mindset do you keep to keep going?
Because it's got to be something.
I think it was just, I mean, I'm here to fight.
it. Like, I've done this all my life. I'm not here. Like, it's like someone going to
basketball, right? They did it all their lives. They go into the NBA. They make it to the
professional level. They're getting a bag. Fucking professional boxer. They can box into
seven years old. They get a professional fight. They're only making, what,
$2,000 a fight, a thousand to fight, maybe not even that at first. That's bullshit. And we're
in a deadly sport. We're not shooting
basketballs. No, no
take away that, but
And you still have a team to pay, correct?
And you still have, you have people to pay,
your bills, everyday bills,
just because your profession doesn't mean
the bills go away, like fuck.
That's why I'd say it sucks
that like how hard it is to make it,
you know? That's why
that's why I'm not here to fucking build
my record up on fighting people that
no one gives a fuck about. I'm here to
build my record up where it's like, okay,
oh, fuck yeah, we're going to see it.
Boom, they're going to fight in a month or two.
That's what I want, you know?
Win or lose?
You guys are trying to, like, build up your record,
build up your record with the fans that they want to like,
when the fans are like, oh, how yeah, I want to see this fight.
More money.
I mean, it's like, they'll pay.
You really want to do, like, you're doing something that no one gets the fuck about.
That's the thing anymore.
No one cares about a word title.
No one.
It's suck to say.
Yeah, you don't ever hear that out about people like, man, I'm going to be champion.
Yeah, no.
I'm coming to be champion.
champion, like that hunger, you know.
Yeah, it's not there anymore.
It's really not there anymore.
Because it's easy to
become a war champion.
Right.
It's easy.
Right.
There can be a vacant belt and you fight a bum,
boom, you're a war champion.
I don't know.
There's bouts I didn't even know that.
What are you talking about?
You just threw a shot at somebody
when you thought of that.
Who was you talking about when you felt like?
Because I feel like you leaning towards something,
I want to see if I was right.
I think.
Who you ever saw do that?
Like, come in, huh?
I thought they gave Devin.
a easy ass world title belt.
That's some bullshit.
Like, bro, I don't give a fuck.
But Ryan's fighting 12 rounds,
and 12 rounds is a world title belt.
Telefimo was an undisputed world champion.
He's going 10 rounds.
I love Devin.
And this is just, I got to speak up for him
because I'm like, you know,
anybody that he's ever stepped in the ring with, though,
he's fought him and put hands on him.
Oh, 100%.
You know?
And he's, he's caught.
But who, though?
I mean, let's think about it.
If you give me Cambosis, I'm going to be pissed.
No, not even Cambozos.
Who was the dude that he fought beforehand that gave him a run for his running.
Yeah, Lenarius.
Okay, yeah, I'll give him that.
Lenarius.
Yeah, but like.
I just wanted to make sure.
I was like, no, we're going to go back before the Cambosos one and two.
But there's no hiding that Devon's good.
There's no hiding.
But undisputed, fuck that.
I love you, bro.
You're talking about undisputed.
Fuck that.
But you're good.
You know, you deserve to have what you have.
Well, maybe y'all be able to make a nice money fight behind them.
But maybe that could be something for, you know, the future for you and Devin to talk about maybe.
Let's do it.
You know?
See, that's the thing.
I like two guys that ain't scared.
That's always makes a good fight.
Because I know Devin ain't scared and I know my man, Sean ain't scared.
So it's like, that's what makes good fights.
Can't send somebody in there that's like, well, I know I'm going to get my ass kick.
How much money are you paying me?
No, you got somebody like, man, fuck that.
I'm not losing.
You're not supposed to walk into a fight thinking you're going to lose.
So I like your mindset with you.
No, I mean, I'll fight.
Talk your shit, bro.
I'll fight anybody.
I'll even fight Ryan.
Uh-oh.
Yeah, I thought that was funny?
I would.
He's for real.
No, he would.
I'd fight Ryan.
Oh, would you allow that, Pops?
Absolutely not.
Absolutely not.
No, he seemed to get my ass beat by Ryan.
That's right to say that.
You're spart?
Yeah.
Oh, you don't play with...
No, no.
No, no.
No, we don't spar at the time.
No, we don't spar at the time, but, I mean...
No, back in the day, it was a killer.
It was intense.
It was intense because I allowed it because he was a soft...
He's actually a right-hander, but I turned him into South Park because he wasn't growing
as much as Ryan was.
So I said, well, I got to give him some advantage.
So I turned him into South Paul, and that was.
is perfect because now it's paying off because he's very technical, very astute, and he knows the game.
As a South Paul, and a South Paul is not easy to beat.
That's why Ryan's so good with South Paul.
And that's why Ryan's so good with South Paul because he had his brother to work with while they were growing up.
Okay, so I killed two birds with one stone.
I didn't even realize.
And that's dope.
And it reminds me of a story, not too off base, but you know, the Diggs brothers are like that.
The one plays for Cowboys, one plays for the bills, you know, and their mom used to match them up.
They both used to play the same position, but she made one change, and then he ended up being the coldest in the league.
Both of them are the coldest right now.
And let me tell you.
Stefan and Trayvon Diggs.
When they were growing up, Sean was the better fighter.
And Ryan will even tell you that.
Sean was better.
His technique, his style, his footwork, everything.
but Ryan what he had is the competitiveness
you know where it's like he'll destroy you
bro he's I've been in the ring with a lot of people
and I mean a lot of people different styles
I'm not saying this just because he's my brother
I would be straight up but
he's he's just a different breed
it's weird he's a legend I'm telling you like
I'll go in the ring I'll get hit with someone's hard
shot, you know. But I, but like, I'm good, you know, but if I get hit by him, even when he's
just relaxing, that shit hurts. I'm not even, like, it's weird. I told him, I go, you probably
be the first boxer banned from boxing, how hard you hit. You know why I like interviewing athletes
and, like, boxers and shit? I'm going to be real with you. Because y'all motherfuckers got a lot to say,
bro.
Oh, there's a lot. I can keep going, man. Y'all be having a lot to say, like, for real. I can keep going.
Because y'all don't get to do too much.
talking. It's always ring time.
It's ring action. Training.
Training. You don't got time to sit down
and talk like this. We'll talk shit between
the art group. Of course, but just
to really bring it out. You guys seem
like your family's close. Do you guys
travel all the time together?
Well, when we've got
fights out in New York or
Miami, you know, we have
our own things going on, you know. I have
my babies. I have my family.
Yeah. They have
they're on their own now.
No kids in the house.
No, you're enjoying that, I'm mom.
They're enjoying that. Get y'all asses up.
No, no, no.
She always wants to be around us.
I'm like, you're around us for like 18 years, chill.
No, but it's always good having them around.
But yeah, we got our own thing.
Ryan has his own life.
I have my own life.
But when it's time to go to work, we're always together.
Yeah.
But we're always like, we're always together because of, you know, the boxing and all.
Three people right now you want to box.
Three people?
Call them out.
All right.
And why?
The Vargas brothers.
The Vargas brothers.
And Raymond Ford.
Why you want to fight him?
Raymond?
Yeah.
Oh, because he called me out before I took my break.
And I was going to fight him, but then I just started doing stupid things, and I just
was like, you're not going to beat me when I'm not on my best.
If you're going to beat me, you're going to have my A game, you know?
I want you to beat.
If you're going to beat me, you're going to beat me when I have my A game.
So it's time to get in there.
I mean, I knew him in the amateurs, but we never fought.
My boy Santos fought him, and he said, it's easy work.
So I want to fight him.
Yeah, I like that.
Because Santos, he's an amazing fighter.
You're going to see him soon.
His name Santos are taking him.
He's working out with us right now.
He's working.
You're going to see him.
He's coming up soon.
He's a beast.
He's one of the fighters, like, when I fight Ryan,
And when I spar Ryan, it's a different, like, I have to be on my A game or I'm getting knocked out.
It's the same shit with Sanchez.
Like your brother, your brother is sleepy?
Right?
Right now?
Yeah.
You'll sleep my shit.
Hey.
No, I'm serious.
Oh, my God.
No, because I can last, like, four or five, six rounds with him, you know?
But after the, like, kind of like the fifth round.
I think you'd get him eventually because you'll learn his, but you'll learn his style.
That's your brother, bro.
You keep out.
I know his style now.
No, I know him.
I know when he's going to punch.
I know, I know everything.
I know, but that shit still hurts.
It does.
He comes up with shit and it's just like, he's just so smart.
No, but because he takes it to a different level.
He doesn't just box.
He wants to know everything about that game.
Like, when it comes to defense.
He writes everything down.
Like, he writes everything down.
Like, he has it to.
He has
science. Yeah, he is down
and it's crazy.
He's down to your science and it's crazy.
You train him with your dad
if you found that difficult at any time
throughout this?
Like it being with your dad
because you know what? It's pops
at the end of the day. You know what I'm saying?
Like it's your trainer
and he might say some shit to you
that's a little bit different than the trainer does.
You know what I'm saying?
It's some shit that nobody hears behind the scenes.
Like hey motherfucker come here.
But see, as a father,
I know when to say
enough is enough.
His favorite was,
Ryan, though. You know?
No.
What it was is that, I told you,
I give them the credit in the beginning
because of what he did it the right way.
Ryan was more like loose,
but then Ryan realized, you know,
that this is a sport that he could take to another level.
And when he found that out,
it's like he did take it to that.
And I'm telling you right now,
it's hard to beat them.
It's really hard to beat them.
You get robbed, you get robbed.
Nothing I can say to that.
But as a coach and a father, them too, watch.
The moment we, if we retire, I promise you,
we can make another career becoming a coach.
Oh, they're so sharp.
Like, we see, like, we'll do it in the ring,
but we see, like, I can have, like, a fighter
who doesn't even do anything,
give me, like, three months with him,
and I'll have him beating a pro.
Because I just know the game.
I know everything and I know like simple is better, you know.
So I know, like I know everything about the game.
But Ryan, he just puts it down to a tee.
You know, he studies it every day.
That's live, bro.
I like even just sitting here and chop it with you.
You make me, you actually inspire me to want to get more athletes like yourself up in here, man.
You know what I'm saying?
That really play the sport because I love boxing.
Yeah, and it's dope to sit back, man.
and, you know, talk boxing with Sharp.
You know what I'm saying?
You know?
You box or what?
You know what?
You know what I'm saying?
No, but I love the sport.
Yeah.
I mean, I can defend myself, but I love the, I love the sport.
Let's get in the ring.
You know what I'm saying?
Let's do it.
Let's have some fun.
Let's talk.
Let's talk about.
Let's talk about tank and Ryan because of a lot of.
I definitely, I definitely want to talk about that before we get up out of here.
Like, for real, man.
Like, what do you think about that?
I heard, I thought the fight was supposed to be January 7th, if I quote,
but they say they might have changed?
No, it's in April.
April 15th.
Yeah, they're fighting in April.
They both wanted, like, a tune-up fight,
and then they're going to fight in April.
Right, so your brother's going to fight somebody else different on January 7th?
No, no, Ryan fights on January 28th.
Tank fights on January 7, I think, right?
Right.
First week of January.
Interesting.
They both better win.
What do you think about that, yeah, pretty, for sure.
What do you think about, what do you feel like the outcome's going to be from that fight?
I feel like this is what boxing needs.
You know, everyone wanted it.
We don't know the outcome.
That's what's needed.
We don't know the outcome.
Yeah, that's what's good about.
And that's what we're going to train hard for.
Yeah.
We're going to train hard.
We know our skills and we know that, you know, we train hard.
We're going to take it very serious and, you know, we'll see what he got in the ring.
But we know that we fought fighters like him and it's not that hard, you know, to beat somebody.
Yeah, you got a knockout, but anyone can get knocked out with eight-ounce guys.
You know, Ryan knocks out people.
you tank knocks out people.
So for these people to be like, oh my gosh,
you should be scared of tank's power,
but it's like, bro, Ryan knocks out people
just as much as you knock out people.
And then he knocks out people quicker
than you tank knocks out people.
Right.
So it's like, bro, Ryan has that shot too.
That's why everyone's like,
I don't know why everyone's just talking shit.
It's like, bro, Ryan has that.
Ryan's been in the game,
just as long as tank's been in the game,
maybe even longer.
He's tall.
He's fast.
He's sharp.
He's not.
That's why we're going to beat them.
And if we're going to beat him, I say a knockout.
I say knockout, like six, between six and nine, there's going to be a knockout.
And Ryan's going to go for it.
Ryan's not here to play no games.
Like Ryan's serious about this fight.
He wanted it.
He's going to train hard for it.
You know, the protection of God and everything, we're going to hopefully both of them come out
to help you so they can go home to their families.
For sure.
They're going to be throwing bombs.
They're going to be throwing bombs, though.
But I hope both of them come out healthy and they get to go home to their kids.
That's why a lot of people, you know, they want war, but it's like, bro, you're not in there, you know?
Like, that shit can go horribly wrong.
How many people knock people out during sparring?
What are the ads?
Very small.
Right.
But for Ryan, it's a high percentage.
I'm not going to.
He knocked out every sparring.
I mean, he'll- He'll- He'll rock you.
He'll knock you out.
He don't care if you're 154-pounder.
He's going to drop you, and it's going to be ugly.
You've got grown men crying on the floor because he hits that hard.
I'm telling him, he hits hard.
And I'm telling him right now, if he lands one of those shots on tank, he's done, though.
I don't care of who you are, though.
He's done.
I'm being honest.
Well, I was already curious to see this fight.
It's accuracy.
But since y'all over here, hopefully this isn't smoke.
we're blowing around.
No, no.
I'm just saying, because this is going to be,
because I feel like this fight is going to,
like you said, it's going to make the sport of boxing great again,
you know, and we don't really know the outcome.
I wanted to more lean with that one, like you were saying,
like that's what's going to make this greatest
because we don't really know the outcome.
Now, could take a low one, yeah, and just drop?
Yes, he can.
Could Ryan take one?
Of course he can.
You know, that's what's making this exciting.
That's why I don't want to lean to one side.
Right.
No.
No.
Okay, we already know it's going to win.
want to buy that shit.
We're not going to take any more by the paper view.
Thank you.
That's what we need again.
Like, boom.
Devin versus Loma.
That would be a great fight.
Ryan Tank.
Great.
Cruz Stevenson.
Great.
But all these promoters, they beat, oh, my gosh.
They just, they want to protect their own ass.
That's why they're not, they don't want to have these fights like these big fights
right now.
I don't know why they want to just hold on to us.
Benz Crawford.
They own us.
That's a perfect match.
Spence Crawford.
Get in the ring, fuck.
Get in the ring, man.
You guys are both good.
Everyone wants to see that shit.
You know how much money you guys are going to make?
Just going there.
You know what I think, and this is just my personal opinion,
and Pobas, maybe you can chime in with me on this one and the business aspect.
I think people kind of wait for those, like, a certain peak, like, asking for it so much
to where we know it's going to sell out.
You know what I'm saying?
You got to wait.
You don't want to overdo it, though, because what happens, people lose patience.
That's true, too.
That's true, too.
Patience, which loses interest.
Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
Then the value starts to depreciate.
And you got to be careful because as a promoter, you know who you have.
You know what type of fighter you have.
You know that he's running it.
He's got it, man.
Right.
Okay.
And this promoter knows it too.
They're gladiators.
And then you say, man, the prime, they're at their prime.
Let's do it, man.
Herns Leonard.
Yeah.
Let's do it, though.
Hagler, Duran.
Let's do it.
Yeah.
Those were some matches.
They didn't.
They were Mayweather versus Pachio.
Look, how long it took?
That fight would have been 10 times bigger if they both fought when they were like.
When they were supposed to.
When they were supposed to.
You know how big that fight would have been?
Or maybe it would have been a different.
It was still big, but like it would have been 10 times bigger if they fought like when everyone wanted them to fight.
It would have been a better fight too.
Yeah, it would have been a way better fight.
That's why everyone waits.
Remember age?
There's no weight.
It's told.
You know.
that right okay but as a prime when you're at your prime man you could lift a car up you
can say man I could do this on my own I don't need help yeah and that's when you want to do it
who's your favorite basketball team okay wait wait honestly man I always been a Mavericks fan
I was a Mavericks fan though from like Steve Nash jerk and whiskey oh yeah they were
you're saying like I fucked it my watch just when I don't know you just I mean you get like
no because I know it comes with the game thank you right
Comes with the game.
You're going to watch them again, right?
Gotta watch them again.
See, that's what I'm, that's what this, that's what boxing, you know, like, come on.
Yeah.
We're going to throw down, you're going to have two amazing fighters throw down, win or lose, there's still other fighters, you know?
Like, they're still, we can do this.
I mean, we can go in there three time in that bitch.
And everybody can be making money.
And everyone makes money.
Sean, I think.
But everyone just cares about these damn belts.
And it's like, come on, bro.
Well, not only the belts, they're just fight.
Their stupid record.
Yeah, but that's because it's the record more than.
anything.
Yeah.
Pops of it is.
It's the record.
Mayweather did set the tone.
He did.
Set the tone.
So there you go.
You have to be undefeited.
No, I mean, like, you just have to throw down.
That's right.
Just fight the best.
There's, like Nate Diaz.
I already might be crossing over.
He loses, I don't know how many times, but he's entertaining.
Everyone wants to see him fighting.
Everybody.
That is one of my favorite U.
He's a fighter.
He's a fighter.
He's a fight.
He throws down.
No matter he has balls.
He's crazy.
He's funny.
He's entertaining outside of the race.
I already was talking about transferring over to your sport.
What do you think about that?
To boxing?
Yeah.
Ah, fuck.
I,
I mean.
Come on.
Talk about it, bro.
What do you think about it?
What you don't want to run into him and it's a problem?
I'll fight him.
No, but I don't know.
It's a hard sport.
You think he's got what it takes to step over?
He's been boxing all of his life.
Well, it depends on who he fights.
You know, like, if he goes in there, he goes in.
there with a professional, like someone who's undefeated,
now he's getting his ass beat.
Because it's a different game.
Like, UFC's, you know, you focus on take them.
They don't really punch.
I mean, they punch, but, like, there are the kicks, knees,
and all that.
You ain't got all that.
You just got your hands.
That's it.
And he doesn't have that much good defense.
You can tell every time after he fights is all cut up.
But he's always been durable.
That's a scar tissue.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
For after years, you know what I'm saying?
Easy to cut.
Easy.
It's easy to cut.
Yeah, 100%.
His brother's the same way.
They both bleed this.
Yeah, they both are bleeders.
I mean, we'll see.
I mean, I ain't gonna duck him.
I mean, I ain't gonna, like, knock him.
Yeah, you ain't trying to duck him.
I heard what you said.
You want to get out with him.
I'll get down with him.
I'll get down an eight for sure.
No, but, yeah, whatever he wants to do,
I hope everything goes good.
That's the thing is I just hope he comes out healthy.
You know, box his daddy, one punch.
Hey, man.
Change your life forever.
We're going to get up out of you.
I need you to come back with your brother.
Oh, yeah.
You ain't around.
But you got to come back too, though, and bring pops.
Let's do it.
You know what I'm saying?
So when y'all do it, we're going to do it for the family.
Let's do it.
I appreciate you.
I appreciate you.
That was very interesting, man, just to hear your perspective.
And Mr. Garcia, Pops.
I appreciate you for sitting here, man, for real.
And just giving some more transparency to what's really going on, you know?
I appreciate it.
For real, man.
Make sure your ass come back.
We're going to make boxing great again.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
The sharp tank.
No jumper.
Sharpest, coolest, pod.
podcast in the world.
Hey, Riley, punch us out the
motherfucking gym.
