25:51Shannon Sharpe:Light heavyweight Paula Costa, Azmat. Light heavyweight Paula Costa defeated Azmat by third round TKO. Costa knocked the former undefeated Muzikanov. Muzikanov. In the 123 in the third round with a right head kick, Costa went on into the contest debating underdogs, but looked like the favorite. By round three, it was clear. His opponent was gassed, possibly injured, and he was willing to sit in target for Costa's offense. It was Costa's second straight win as an underdog. He defeated, he beat Roman in July of last year. Listen, they got to keep, they need to stop making Costa the underdog. Maybe that's the problem.

26:35Oh boy, he was pretty tough though, Ocho. Yeah, he was nice. He was pretty tough. But, hey, man, them leg, hey, them head kicks, bro. Hey, he was kicking him in the side. Pop. Damn near three in a row. It looked like three in a row. I was like, well, damn. And see, the thing is, and then when he tried, you thought he was going to kick you and you do this. Now you bring your head right there for that foot to go upside it. Pop. Hey, would you ever get in there? Let's say if your body was, no, I'm just saying if your body was okay, no hip replacement, no knees, nothing wrong with you, just for the experience.

27:11Shannon Sharpe:No. I got hit upside by head for 14 years, and then another four in college, and then another four in high school, and then another three in peewee. No, hell no. I'm good. Hey, you know what? I would. I would. I think I am. I think I am. I think it's going to be fun. I'm going to make sure I'm going to have some nightcap trunks, nightcap on my gloves. It's going to be fun. just to be able to say I did it. No, I don't want to say I did it. I didn't do it. That's what I'm going to say. I didn't do it. Hey, just make sure you ringside, man. That's all. Man, look here. You ain't – I mean, look at Ocho.

27:50Shannon Sharpe:You in your 40s, and you ain't did no combat training like that. Boxing is one thing. And you see, even Blaze and the other – if Blaze could have – Blaze in the clinch, he don't do no kneeing. He couldn't keep the guy down. He took the guy down. He couldn't keep him down because he ain't got no rounds. All he is is a striker. Nah, hell no. That's too much going on, bro. But this was, hey, look. And like I said, the fights just got better and better because they started, hey, they got better and better. They got better and better. Hey, that's what I'm paying to see. That's what I'm paying, even though it's free now on plus.

28:27Shannon Sharpe:That's what I want to see. I want to see knockouts. I don't want to see all that feeling out, all that dancing and holding and all that stuff. Choke him. make him say uncle or knock his ass smooth the F out that's what I'm here for I ain't got no problem that's why I didn't have any problems playing for UFC fights because I'm I think there's a better than 50 % chance that somebody of all the people on the card or somebody going to sleep that night. You're going to get some action. I'm going to get some action no matter what. And that's all I want hey give me my you know 59, 79 or whatever I was playing for back then give me my money's worth that's what I want I don't want all that stuff.

29:06Shannon Sharpe:They feeling each other out. Oh, you know, it's a styles make fights. It's the sweet science. I don't want nothing sweet. I want it sour. Ain't none of that. Ain't none of that in MMA, boy. Hell no. But you better be able to rap. But the thing is, Ocho, is that when you get, and a lot of this, is that when you get tired, you can't protect yourself. You can't keep your hands up, your jaw drop, and so now you don't got that tension. Now, you still could get knocked out when you got that teeth in it, when you got that mouthpiece and you biting out on it. But, boy, when that jaw get loose, mm-mm. It's going to be broken.

29:46You start breathing out your mouth. Out your mouth, yeah. That's how you know somebody's tired. Once they not breathing out their nose.

29:54Shannon Sharpe:Five more minutes, mama. Then the referee asks you, hey, you jackrabbit with cowboy boots, back to sleep you go.

30:07Shannon Sharpe:hell no but Costa did it 123 in round 3 head kick and then he jumped on him and like hey he really get a chance I mean he jumped on him a little bit but old boy slot down oh you see him old boy slot down he's like nah this ain't for me you got me this ain't for me this ain't for me next time maybe next time maybe next time but this is right here You got this one, man. Hey, and can I tell you something? Hey, Chad. Chad, I'm sure y 'all can hear me. I'm sure we have a lot of UFC fans in the chat. And I don't want to say a name, Unk, but tonight I was told one of our favorites. One of our favorites that we've all loved to see is fighting July 11th.

30:52He's coming back to the ring. Just come on now. The greatest. the best charisma the best marksman Conor McGregor come on man July 11th okay I hope I see him fight hopefully a boy getting taken down his ground game is not good he's a pure striker a pure striker So how do I neutralize that? I take your ass down. You got to be able to get up, Ocho. You keep spending. Do you know how much energy that zaps out of you? Four minutes left in the round, you on your damn back, and you trying to get up. When somebody get on you, what you always hear? Get off me, man. Let me up. Nah, hell no. Get up. Get off me, man.

31:50Shannon Sharpe:Hey. Hey. You got to be able to get up, Ocho. You got to be able to wrestle. You got to. You just got to. I'm not saying you got to be John Jones or Daniel Kremir. I'm not saying you got to be Khabib. Khabib, yeah. But you got to have at least a high school level of goddang on wrestling. Something. Maybe a college. Yeah. Maybe a D2, D3 college. I'm not saying you got to be a world champion or gold medalist, but you got to have something, Ocho, because you got to be able to shut down when they try to take you down. and you gotta be able to get up.

36:10Shannon Sharpe:Heavyweight Josh Hokett defeated Curtis Blades by unanimous decision. Hokett won the most exciting fight in the division history with a unanimous decision over Blades. The heavyweight fight was pure chaos as both fighters slugged it out for 15 violent minutes. Hokett damaged Blades' face almost immediately with a combination in the open minutes, but Blades refused to go away, storming back. He hit Hokett with heavy punches also. So the two heavyweights combined for 303 significant strikes landed. One short of the record set by Daniel Kremir and Stipe Miocic in the five-round fight in 2019. Now remember, that's a five-round fight.

36:51Shannon Sharpe:This was only three rounds. And they had one fewer significant strike. They also broke the record for total strikes attempted. 611 eclipsing. the 595 attempted by Tim Silver and Andrea Arlovsky in 2006. That's what the interesting fight. They were letting it go. To me, that was the most exciting fight. Not very technical, but that was the most exciting fight. A blazed face, Unc? I don't know if you could see it from TV, but I was sitting like, come on, man. Now you got to go get stitched up. you need to get sissed up before you even leave the arena oh man that was bad Lane might need to give it up though Ocho you think so?

37:39Shannon Sharpe:he been getting the break beat off him ah I mean Ocho I mean damn near 30 seconds in the fight he damn near praying he got buckled early he got buckled early I don't know I like Josh though I like Josh. Listen, both of them were on fumes. And they're just wailing away. And because you're so tired, Ocho, I don't really got that zap. Because if I had that zap, I could get you out of here because I'm hitting you clean. You ain't got no defense because everybody was hitting everybody with clean shots. And they just standing right there in front of each other. And like I said, Blaze got him in the clinch.

38:27He ain't kneeing. He ain't trying. He can't. He don't know how to take him down. That's energy. That's energy. Hey, boy, it was one with Blaze through a hook, and he missed. And that goddamn hook, it went like this, and looking out the crowd because he missed the hook. He telegraphed it. Y 'all in Miami, bro, you threw that from Jacksonville. I saw that thing coming from Jacksonville. Boy, he's funny, man. He's entertaining. He continued to sharpen up his tools and add a little more to his toolbox. because if I'm not mistaken, I think Hoekit is a wrestler. You know, he's a wrestler, but he chose the night.

39:03They chose to stand in and go toe-to-toe.

39:06Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, he did. He did. But like I said, I thought Blades, there were some times he got him on the ground and he couldn't keep him on the ground. I mean, he really, you can tell he didn't really know what to do because he got him, he's at the back, and then he goes to the side. Bro, trip him like they do and get in the guard and make him exert some energy to get you up off him. But you don't know how to get him. You don't know how to take him down. You definitely didn't know how to keep him down. You're in the clinch. You don't need him. You don't do anything. You just, bro, you're going to let this man come out here.

39:40Shannon Sharpe:You're going to let this man get out of this because you had the advantage and going to let him knock your ass out. But he won't put him down in that first round. I mean. Just open him up. It just seems like every time he damn hit him, he got a new cut. I'm like, well, damn. Hey, check that man's gloves. He might got bricks in his hands. Because every time he hit him, I was like, damn, look at Blade's face. And it just, it was swelling. And it's like, he cut up his eye and cut here and cut there and cut there. I was like, well, damn. I don't know. Hey, that man, I didn't look like the elephant man.

40:20That thing was nice. I don't see how you can go to a fight like that. the energy in the arena you know seeing the fighters go at it and how you don't want to get in there who that's why when I go see and I see how they look when they come out of there and I hear them shots I don't want nobody hitting me in my face like that right hey if they try if they swing at you all you got to do is block that thing huh bring it here bring it here I'm going to have to go get the drum I'm going to have to go get the drum for it okay Okay.

40:56Oh, man.

40:58Shannon Sharpe:No, man. That ain't for me. But look, I mean, think about it. Even though this fight did not end in a knockout, Ocho, the strikes, I mean, you see all the significant strikes, 600 total strikes. Man, they damn landed half of their damn significant strikes. That's crazy. Now you see why their face looked like it looked. the fact that nobody went down with the clean punches that they were they were getting hit with and obviously i think because they were tired and there was there was there was no oomph on any of those punches which is why nobody actually went down yeah but hey that that was exciting though it was exciting that goddamn hoiket man i'm i'm i'm hoping he can i don't know either he gonna be the villain or he's gonna be a fan favorite it ain't gonna be nothing in between to some people he's annoying.

41:44To me, he's selling himself. He's marketing himself. And if he keep winning, I'm not saying he'll get to McGregor's level because that's a whole nother, that's a completely different level of marketing. You know, but he's going to be all right, though. He's going to be all right.

41:59Shannon Sharpe:Let's take a listen to what Hokit had to say from the back of the ambulance. In the ambulance? You can drop a lane right here. You're smart. Oh, fucking droppers.

42:15Shannon Sharpe:What'd he say? He was laughing. Oh. He didn't say much. He said his jaw hurt. I mean, he took some shots. But if you go like, okay, you standing there like, okay, these two fought. Oh, the white guy won. All you got to do is look at Blaze's face. You ain't got to question who won. Look at him. You know, and Blaze didn't talk any trash when they did the panel. And I was kind of confused. You know, Hoyke took over. He took over, did all the trash talking, you know, the rhymes and whatever it was he was saying. And for some reason, Blaze seemed like he was annoyed with it. And I would expect it for someone, you know, to fire back.

42:59He didn't seem confident going into the fight. I don't know why.

43:06Shannon Sharpe:Well, that might not be his style. No. Try to go back. You don't want to get into, at the end of the day. be who you are. If you're not a talker, don't go back and forth with a guy that that's what he does. He's going to get your head. You're out there trying to out-talk him. You need to out-fight him. Now, it would have been a situation, Ocho, he won the fight. Now he can come up with some rhymes and some riddles and have a lot to say. But you go into rhyme and riddles and now you look like you stuck your head in a beehive. Nah. Nah. Nah. But like I said I was looking at this early I was like okay Look at Blaze I said okay Blaze I mean you know big old But Norman when you see a guy With all the muscles Ocho Yeah Muscles require oxygen And when you constantly moving You gas out fast

44:01You gas out fast Hey Hey Hey You see I called out Izzy Out of Sanya

44:09Shannon Sharpe:Call him out for what? just to square up a little bit. Maybe two rounds. Maybe three, depending on how you feel.

44:21No?

44:22Shannon Sharpe:No. Why don't you just go run some... Call some retired DBs out there and try to run some one-on-one routes on them. Nah, because they... Daryl Green, like 65, still running like 4-4. Nah, then, no. I do Daryl Green in his prime. I'm not saying that you couldn't, But I'm saying stick to that. You trying to go in something that you ain't never done and you want to do in your 40s. No, I know. That's okay because I didn't have an opportunity to do it in my 30s and 20 because I was playing. You could have trained. Hey, I just want to try it just to be able to tell my kids, hey, baby, y 'all seen daddy getting down?

45:00Hey, hold on. Hey, listen. Now, listen, daddy got his ass whooped, but that's not the fact. I still got it now. They'll see. They'll be one that's helping you to the ambulance. You ain't got to tell him. You won't have to tell him anything. Even french fry, even french fry, no. Talking about my daddy getting toe up in there, ain't he?

45:28Hey, french fry gonna try to look up mama and say, hey, boy, daddy getting toe up, ain't he, mama? Yeah, yeah, he is, baby.

45:42Shannon Sharpe:man it's so funny right it's so funny obviously all them boys know me the funny thing about it is everybody I call out there's people that I know personally and Izzy and he in the comments and he used to put the crying laughing faces I seen Kamaru Uzman I seen Kamaru Uzman at the fight and I forgot how I called him out a long time ago when I was doing something with Dana and he say well since you're here now I mean you want to square it right here and get it on? I say no I say no man I'm just here to watch the fights I don't want no problem I don't want no problem Oh man That was funny What'd you say?

46:29Yeah Yeah baby He sure is I don't know what possession of daddy to get his ass in that ring But he won't be coming back I promise you

46:42but that man but you watching this fight early on I was like oh this ain't no way this thing going three rounds cause he caught him like in the first 20 seconds oh yeah and buckled him right off the rip I'm like well damn did you warm up in the back or you just came at this thing cold cause you know they still I mean you still gotta get warm I understand you know cause you getting there

47:08Shannon Sharpe:so early. You know what I'm saying? You're getting there so early because you don't know. I mean, you've got to schedule time. It could get moved up. It could get moved back according if the fight ends early or the fight goes the distance. But, you know, you're in the back. You're getting loose. You're getting, you know, going through some, doing some shadow boxing, probably hitting the pads a little bit. Yeah. Probably simulating some takedowns and stuff like that. But, man, I'm like, bro, you walk right out there and just walk right into a combo. But it was definitely a jam packed fight, a jam an action-packed fight with some heavy punches landed.

47:40Shannon Sharpe:I don't know how Blades did not go down. I don't know how he survived three rounds with that type of punishment. But Hokey took some punishment too now. Oh, yeah, absolutely. He took some punishment too. But I just don't think the punishment that he took from Blades was not what Blades took from him. Completely different, especially with the way his face looked on. Ooh! I say, boy, man. Yeah, Ojo, I got to go get the drum. You know, it's funny. I think about it, especially if you're married, you have a girlfriend. Yeah. And you lose and you lose and your face look like that. I wonder how do they feel?

48:18And I know they want to support you in all that you do, especially, you know, being a wife, being a girlfriend. Yeah, it's tough on them. I'm just saying, but when you get your ass whooped like that and your girl is there ringside to see you get your ass whooped, or she's at home watching and you get whooped like that, does she look at you the same? Well, you remember

48:37Shannon Sharpe:Dante Wilder said when he started catching L's, you know, old lady, she didn't look at him the same day. That's what he said. I don't know if it's true. He said once he started, L's started piling up, you know, all of a sudden. So I just think it's hard. It's hard to anybody that you care about, anybody. Let's just say for the sake of our I was close friends. Let's just say I was as close to a boxer or UFC fighter as I was Bucket and Burns. And to see them and go, yeah, that would bother me. I would be hurt. Even though I understand that's a part of their job, that's a part of it, it still would bother me.

49:11Shannon Sharpe:So you could imagine a spouse or a mom. I mean, sometimes that's why moms don't come. Hell, your mom cringing and ooh, I can't watch this. And you getting tackled. Imagine you getting kicked and hit in your face. Or you getting choked out. You gotta tap, you gotta say uncle. Hell nah. mm-hmm that'd be down i don't know i take my hat off to the wives and girlfriends significant others yeah go and watch their significant other because i i know you know hey it's hard on you know family members when you watch a sport especially you know sports that you can get injured in i mean you can get injured in any sport but you know the likelihood of the sports like uh mma and boxing and football they have a higher degree of potential injury than other sports uh I guess bull riding things of that nature, but nah.

50:05Shannon Sharpe:Night heavyweight Dominic Reyes defeated Johnny Walker by split decision. Probably the worst fighter of the night, Reyes recorded his first win in nearly a year, although the results likely won't do much for his stock in the division or the UFC fan base. The three-round bout was difficult to score and even more difficult to watch as both fighters played extremely safe, despite urging from their own corners and crowd. Reyes outpointed Walker on the judges' scorecard, 29-28, 29-28, and 28-29. It was all boos, huh? Yeah. That whole fight inside that arena, it was all boos. I'm trying to figure out what happened.

50:44Shannon Sharpe:Dominic Reyes gave John Jones his toughest fight ever. Many believe Reyes beat Jones. He has not shown that form since. Now, I don't know if that was the falling star, Ocho. That was his one time. That was the song in the March Madness, One Shining Moment. Maybe that was his one shining moment. But the guy that I saw fought John Jones would have ran through Johnny Walker. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Johnny Walker Blue and Johnny Walker Black. I don't know what was wrong with him. I'm not sure why they were both being so cautious, obviously. when you sign up, you're signing up to fight. And they did the exact opposite for three rounds.

51:31They did the exact opposite. Nobody wanted to take a chance. They damn near, they damn near nobody really threw any punches.

51:39Shannon Sharpe:No. Not anything goddamn effective. And that's the thing. Like I said, Ocho, I watched that fight and I was like, damn, man, he just joked giving Jon Jones all he can handle. Yeah. and I haven't seen I haven't seen a fight like that since well maybe you know what maybe he looked the way he did because Jon Jones had an off night maybe that night I mean that day because obviously if you're gonna give Jon Jones all he can handle and then you look like you look tonight something ain't right something ain't right but he hadn't looked like that since though oh even before even before this fight no I haven't seen him look that good now maybe his fan base or maybe but I don't think he's looked he hasn't looked as good as what he looked that night.

52:28Shannon Sharpe:He looked like one of the greatest UFC fighters in that division in the history. That's how good he looked that night. And then I'm like damn. Now granted he's a little older a lot older. I don't remember when this fight happened. I mean maybe it was I don't even remember in this fight happened. I remember watching it, but I don't know exactly what year it was. He's older now. He's 37, 38 years of age. But man, I'm like damn. And like you said, Ocho, that was, I mean, the fights were going good. And then y 'all come out here with this bull job. Straight bulls, the whole fight. Yeah. Y 'all gotta do something.

53:15Shannon Sharpe:Hey, and plus it's getting late and people like, hey, they under their seat. They looking for a reason to cheer. They probably got a couple of beers in them, a couple of cocktails in them. Hey, they ready to erupt. And then I got to encourage you guys like, come on, let's get it on. Nah, man. Dana ain't going to be happy with that. Tyson Fury wins his rings back in domination and he calls out to Joshua after the fight. Fury took off some ring rust on his comeback to earn a unanimous decision and potentially set up a long weighted clash with Anthony Joshua. In the return, winning ways, Fury following back-to-back point losses in world title fights to Alexander Yusik in his previous two appearances.

54:04Shannon Sharpe:After the first win in England since the WBC title against Derek Theresa December 22nd of 2022, Furry turned his attention to Joshua. Furry is urging his compatriot to fight him next rather than WBC champion Deontay Wilder who recently beat Feller on points what you think Ochoa do you like the way Fury looked tonight? Yeah I like the way he looked it took him a little bit to get going he didn't get going really until maybe round 3 or round 4 you could see him get a little bit more comfortable he had to shake that ring rust off no matter how much you train no matter how much you do in the gym you can't get back to yourself unless you fight so yes tonight i mean he looked good um obviously calling calling joshua out but obviously i think joshua now at this point is the a side and joshua said right to his face you're not gonna dictate when i fight you you're not gonna come in here after after taking a year and six months off with it whatever it is and say do i want to fight you we're gonna do it the right way i'm the a side i'll let you know when i'm ready to fight and obviously Joshua said listen I beat you up when we were little and I beat you up now and I've never been scared to get in the ring with anybody but I'll let you know when I'm ready yeah I agree I think the thing is is that hey or Anthony Joshua said well I wasn't you know I won 10 15 20 million dollars and I fought a guy that didn't have any business in the ring with me but I took him to school so I'm good right now yeah but me personally I would like to see Deontay Wilder and Anthony and Joshua both of them have dynamite now and both of them have chains are a little suspect yeah wait so so would you consider well hold on now hold on but that that no I'm not sure would it still be a mega fight even though Deontay Wilder is still had still has losses yeah Fury has losses Fury ain't got no belt I don't think none of them got no belt right but it's just Ocho you know it's just something about people with dynamite in the hand big punches yeah we like to see that so you don't like the Joshua I'm watching if you fight Tyson Fury today I thought Tyson Fury he got caught with some shots he tried to throw the uppercut from distance and the dude catching with the overhand right quick he leaving the jam out there too long the dude catching with the overhand right he getting reckless and the dude catching with the check hook so there are some things that Anthony Joshua could take advantage of absolutely but like you said the guy's been away from the guy what is it 16 17 months that he hadn't fought ocho yeah yeah so when you like you said when you take that long off you know hey sparring is one thing you need to be in the ring against another guy and with no headgear and and to feel that rush right of 60 70 80 000 people watching you not to really when you got a couple you know 35 40 people in the ring and you sparring that's a whole different scenario right so yeah i I thought he looked good, but like you said, I thought there were some times that he looked like a guy that took time off.

57:17Shannon Sharpe:And the mistakes is, you know, hey, he's backing straight up. Man, you know you can't back straight up. Get that gear. Either left or to the right. Get that head off the line. I think Joshua would probably want a tune-up fight before he gets in there with Fury. I really don't consider what he did with Jake Paul as a tune-up? Have someone else that get in there and move around? He's looking at Deontay as a tune-up. You think so? That's what he said. Hey, come on now. I just said that's what... Hey, find that quote. He said a warm-up. He said, yeah, I'll use you as a warm-up fight. That's a dangerous fight, huh?

58:01I'm just telling you what the man said. That's a dangerous fight, especially those first six rounds. Until Wilder gets tired, he has a puncher's chance every time. And even if you block, there's a chance you can still get knocked out with Wilder's power.

58:15Shannon Sharpe:But you do realize Anthony Joshua got power too. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, man. Joshua got power too. And the thing is, like I said, both of those guys' chin are susceptible. A little suspect, yeah. Yes. Yeah. And you know what? The better pure boxer is Joshua too. Joshua. Joshua's a better pure boxer. He's a gold medalist. Yeah. Yeah.

58:40Shannon Sharpe:Deontay, I think he won the bronze medal. Okay, yes, but I mean, the way he can sit up punches. See, I think the thing is for me is that Deontay Wild is really trying to land one punch. He's trying to land that overhand right. Can he turn the lights out of the building? Yes. Absolutely. He can short circuit you. You start.

59:11And you free.

59:16Shannon Sharpe:Joshua responded, Tyson, you are a clout chaser. I've never had a problem getting in the ring with you. I punched you when you were kids. After watching you tonight, I'll do it again. I'll see you in the ring in due time. You won't tell me what to do. when you're ready, you tell me your conditions, and I'll tell you when I'm ready. I'm the landlord. Remember that. You work for me. So basically, he's just letting them know I'm the A-side. You don't control nothing anymore. When you had the belts, you ain't got no belts. You ain't got no belts. You ain't got the belts. So how you can dictate what you think I'm going to fight on your terms?

59:58Not at all. and Turkey got to make it make sense too now. Yeah for sure. Turkey got to make it make sense and he has the pockets to do so. It won't be no excuses.

1:00:10Shannon Sharpe:Like they said in Captain Phillips, Irish. Look at me. Irish. You remember Captain Phillips? I do remember Captain Phillips. That was a good movie boy. It was. Old Tom Hanks. As a matter of fact those guys I thought they were really good. I think they went back. I think they're from Minnesota, I think they're back working regular jobs, Ocho. For real? I think so. Damn. I think so. I don't want to confuse the race or ethnicity. Somali? Somali. Okay, okay. Somali. Yep. But, look, like you said, Ocho, I thought given the time that he had been on, I thought he did some good things. The other guy, he's conditioning.

1:00:56Shannon Sharpe:And look, you have to understand, Big guys. Heavy weight's different. I mean, that's a lot of moving for a guy 230, 240, 250, whatever the guy weighs. And then, man, get you some – man, he had those gauchos out there. The thing get wet, you know how heavy they are? Yeah. But he was tired. And like I said, even though he was tired, he caught – Tyson. He caught Fury with a couple of shots over hands. Caught him with a couple of checks. You saw Fury had a couple of shiners going on. but nah man look you know if you really be as big as he is he has really really good movement yeah yeah to be that big I mean he look a little no disrespect he looks a little sloppy excuse me he just looks a little sloppy straight down but his footwork man and his movement to be that big is nice It's nice.

1:01:59There's only one person that's a heavyweight who's moving and footwork and ring IQ is better than him, and that's Yusek. But Yusek ain't that big of a man, though. You're talking about a man that's 6 '8", 6 '9", like 250, 260, 270. But I think the thing is, if people look at it, it's not a put-together 260, 270.

1:02:20Shannon Sharpe:It's all over the place. but but I mean hey he flicking that jab out there but like I said he get careless sometimes he get lazy with it and he was getting caught the question is he flicked that jab get lazy with Joshua Joshua fired something back he short circuiting quick and in a hurry I'm definitely going to watch the fight like I said Anthony Joshua is a big super heavyweight he looked the part you see him he take out and roll and be like god dang you better be able to do something build up like that abs everywhere shoulders capped off boy you better not be built like that and be sorry yeah it's a big boy man he is people don't realize what he's like 6 '5 6 '6 probably about 6 '4 but he chisel now there's one thing you can say about him he comes in shape That's why I admire guys like, well, you know, this was a tough training camp.

1:03:25Shannon Sharpe:No, he comes in shape. He comes to fight. Now, sometimes you get it handed to him, but hey, in the fight game, that's going to happen. Mm-hmm. Because them other guys are really good too.

1:03:43Shannon Sharpe:Joshua, 36 years of age. He's 6 '6", 245. God damn.

1:03:52See, he Miles Garrett. Miles Garrett played football, he boxed. Mm-hmm, basically. Well, Miles about 6 '5", huh? Yeah, like 6 '4", 270. Woo! Built just like Anthony Joshua. Man, it shouldn't be that big, shouldn't be that agile, shouldn't be that quick, built like that. Can move like that, yeah. But he's one of the few players that looks like Tarzan

1:04:16Shannon Sharpe:and play like Tarzan. There have been a lot of guys that look like Tarzan and play like James. Nah bro Oh yeah But uh Nah I definitely I like that Bro you ain't finna call no shots You ain't finna call no shots over here I'll tell you And that's another one that's very charismatic And has great personality And can sell a fight That goddamn Tyson Fury Boy he know he can sell a fight

1:04:48I think

1:04:49Shannon Sharpe:it's what he says, the access, like, you know, hey, I beat you, I was hungover, I've been drinking pints, you know, they call it pints over there. But no, no, hey, he impressed me. I mean, like I said, when he got up off the canvas and whipped Wilder's ass, because I didn't think he would go get up on Joe. I did. I'm not sure what the ref was doing. The ref started that goddamn count late. To be honest, it should have been at 10, because he laid there for like three, damn near two, three seconds, and the ref hadn't even started yet. I'm like, man, what are you waiting on? Soon as he hit the floor, you point to the guy, you start counting.

1:05:30One, two.

1:05:32Shannon Sharpe:But he got up there and went to work. So give him credit. That fight's going to happen. Who is Uthik fighting next? Does he have an opponent? Is he fighting anytime soon? I'm not sure. Boy, he know he good. Hey, Usyk move and box like a damn light heavyweight. Like a cruiserweight. Yeah, light heavy cruiser. Hey, he got real good movement, man. Combinations, punching off angles. Yeah. Man, he nice. Honestly. Honestly. Honestly, no one wants to think about HIV, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like PrEP.
