16:44Shannon Sharpe:His dad, that's Glenn Johnson. He was a light, heavyweight champ.

16:47Chad Johnson:Right here?

16:48Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

16:49Chad Johnson:Mm-hmm.

16:52Shannon Sharpe:He loves a basketball player, don't he? Oh, yeah. You got something, Mike? Oh, that's him? For Ocho? Glizzy? Even they eat it, oh my goodness.

17:05Joe Johnson:Oh, shoot. Where you got this from? Where? Oh, yeah.

17:14Shannon Sharpe:Chad, I apologize. This man. This man eating the glimpses.

17:21Chad Johnson:You need some water or something to chase it, bro. You ain't.

17:24Joe Johnson:They got water.

17:26Chad Johnson:They got water. Maybe a little Coke. Hey, I know one thing. If you're an athlete and you mix it with another one, boy, you're going to get something, huh? You hear me? That man done played all kinds of sports.

17:41Shannon Sharpe:And he's like, he don't even realize what he's done. Bro, this man made an NFL roster on the practice squad. This man played in the Grand Jordan Classic. Yeah, played Grand Jordan Classic with a collegiate basketball player. Now he's a professional fighter. I mean, hell, he probably could hit a baseball.

18:03Chad Johnson:I wouldn't put it past him. Hey, his mom was sprinter. Yeah. He got some genetics now. Dad played.

18:11Joe Johnson:Hey, how long have I been preaching it? Be cautious of who you procreate with now.

18:16Chad Johnson:Yeah.

18:16Joe Johnson:Best you want to have an athlete, get you somebody, Joe. You know, I put them through the gauntlet when we first meet.

18:22Chad Johnson:Yeah, I already know.

18:24Joe Johnson:Well, if they know.

18:25Shannon Sharpe:Hell, no. If they know you ain't glizzy, they probably would have never procreated with you. They're like, we don't want no part of no glizzy guy.

18:32Joe Johnson:It's just a little hot dog. And they toasted the bun, too, Joe. Oh, it's fire in it, man. I know you want a little bit. Nah, nah.

18:39Chad Johnson:You ain't that dry dog, bro. You ain't got no condiments. No ketchup, mayo, nothing.

18:45Joe Johnson:I don't need all that shit, man. I don't need all that, bro.

18:47Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, you need it. Hey, where this came from?

18:53Chad Johnson:Let me get one of those. Yeah, yeah. All right, now. Yeah, he doing too much. You got to slow it down, man. You know the man get out of control now.

19:03Shannon Sharpe:Too glizzy? I think one of them strawberry smoothies, though.

19:10Chad Johnson:No, hell no, I don't want one. Hey, you still ain't had none to drink, bro. You need to slow down, Turbo. You moving a little too fast. I'm good, Joe. Look at the end poking out the breeze. Watch with his bike first. Watch with his bike. Look at him. What? You think about it?

19:23Shannon Sharpe:Joe, look what it is. Joe, look what it is.

19:27Chad Johnson:Hey, you got to chill, bro. You got to chill. Hey, look at him. Oh, man. He's clean. Oh, man. Come on, man. Come on, man. But, hey, hey, hey. Joe, I want nobody to do it with me. Chad already know you freaking out. They already know. Look, look, look, look. They trying to break it up. All right. Man, they're bad to eat here.

19:47Shannon Sharpe:Hey, y 'all are tripping, man. But the Bradley Beal situation, Joe, you make look. I understand. Man, when they were sending him home, obviously we're not going to be on the best turn. But it does lighten the blow. It lightens the blow a little bit if you tell me, you know what, that number three, we're going to put it up in the rack. Ain't nobody else going to be able to wear that number.

20:06Chad Johnson:Yeah. Like, now if you CP, he probably, hell, he probably like Jaden Daniels. Yeah. Man, cut ties. Man, I don't even want to deal with y 'all. Straight up. Nah, for real. Because if you done told me you're going to retire my number, not Bradley Beal wearing it. Yeah. Come on, bro. And this is a big season for Bradley Beal, Uncle Ocho. It's a huge season. You know, considering the fact that since he left Washington, bro, he hadn't been an all-star caliber player since. Not even close. He had a short stand in Phoenix. It didn't go great. Now he's in with the Clippers, and we know what they need desperately.

20:35Chad Johnson:Yeah. You know what I mean? Considering the fact what they've lost probably over the next five or seven years without having picks, they need guys who are going to be able to step up and play and play big.

20:44Shannon Sharpe:Well, they're big three, so they're going to need Darius Garland. They're going to need B.I., and they're going to need Bradley Bill. They're going to need Bradley Beal to be the Bradley Beal to average 30 points a game with the Wizards.

20:54Chad Johnson:They're going to need that Bradley Beal. Nah, they ain't going to get that one. Nah, they may get a Bradley Beal who could probably get them by 20, 21 a game. I'm just keeping it realistic. You know what I mean?

21:04Shannon Sharpe:But they need to have three 20 points. In order for them to have success, they're going to need to have three 20-point scores.

21:08Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah, I agree. In order for them to have some success in the West because it's so tough and it's so star-driven. You know, I'm talking about the first six slots.

21:18Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. You got San Antonio. You got OKC. You got Denver. You got Minnesota. Houston. Houston. That's five right there. You didn't say Lakers. I didn't say Lakers. That's six. Yeah, so, hey, Golden State. If Steph Curry's healthy, Steph Curry's going to have something to say.

21:39Chad Johnson:It's going to be tough, man. It's going to be tough for them Clippers in their West. But, yeah, I think, bro, this is a very important year for B-Bill, considering the fact I know he wants to get back to that all-star caliber guy. I don't even know. I don't know if that's possible in the West. It's going to be tough. You got to be playing great ball, not only individually, but as a team. And look at the guards. Yeah. You got Ant-Man. You got Shea. You got Luka. Yeah, you got Castle.

22:06Shannon Sharpe:You got Murray.

22:09Chad Johnson:Yeah.

22:09Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah. Woo! And Harper, we don't know if he's going to start it. He's still going to come off the bench. Darren Fox was an all-star? Yeah. Yeah. But the guards are loaded. You got to be different now. You definitely got to be different. And the bigs, you go with obviously the bigs, Yoke, Wimby. Yeah.

22:32Chad Johnson:Man. It ain't, it ain't, it's going to be hard to compete with that. Because they lost, the Clippers lost Zubac. They traded Zubac here in Indiana. So you don't have that huge presence up under the gold.

22:47Shannon Sharpe:But you know what? I would feel some type of way, too. If you told me that you were going to retire my jersey and then I look up there and I see somebody in it, I'd feel some type of way. Yeah, I will, too. I ain't finna sit here and tell my wife, it wouldn't matter to me. It wouldn't matter. It wouldn't matter. Now, had you not told me anything, okay, cool. But if you told me that's what you're going to do, and then I turn around and I see somebody in that jersey, yeah, I'd feel some type of way.

23:09Chad Johnson:Yeah, I'm going to feel a way, too, bro. That's why I say we don't know what they told Jaden Daniels because it's the same situation. Man, as the player, yeah, you're going to be taken back behind that. Yeah, and what we got to now?

23:24Shannon Sharpe:What we got? What we got? I guess we just got anything. We got any other topics? Hey, I know a good topic. You talking about Bradley? I got one. I know a good topic.

23:37Joe Johnson:What? Dana said he got something for me.

23:40Shannon Sharpe:I mean, hey. Joe, they kill you with them shorts. Bye-bye, Masha. That's okay. That's okay.

23:45Chad Johnson:Hey, look, I can't help God took his time with me. I can't help it.

23:50Shannon Sharpe:Hey. Hey, he took his time with them shorts, too, because he didn't have no more material.

23:55Chad Johnson:Hey, listen, I know we can talk about those Sheldon, the tennis player. Oh, Ben. Ben. I watched it. You hit me up. Did you say it all the way up? I watched it all the way up. I hit, I hit, I said, man, you watch this probably about what?

24:06Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. If it was East Coast. It was probably about 11.45 when you hit me. It was late. They didn't go off until like 3.30, 3.35. I fell asleep. Well, 12.35. You fell asleep too?

24:17Chad Johnson:I fell asleep. I fell asleep. Well, boy, when I'm talking about them boys was hitting, that left-hand Sheldon guy, his backhand done got better. Yeah.

26:41Shannon Sharpe:This all-around game was impeccable. But that last one, I was like, bro, he about to crank this up. He finna jump out of his shoes on this one. He had that last ace was probably about 144 to 146. I was like, man.

26:55Chad Johnson:Ain't nobody returning. And it ain't like he was playing no slouch. No, no. He ran number two flat?

27:00Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, Alcaraz. Alcaraz, that boy's neck.

27:02Joe Johnson:He's just coming off a wrist injury. All four months. This is his first time back.

27:07Shannon Sharpe:This is your best chance for somebody to win a major because Alcaraz is out and Senna did not even join it. And guess what? All things being equal, this is going to be the first time. We're going to have an American male in the finals of a championship. He'll be the first African-American since Maliby Washington went back in 1996 at Wimbledon. So we're talking about 30 years since we've had a black American male in the finals. Right. We got to go back to the last time we've had, what, potentially have an American to win a major would be Andy Roddick in 2003. He won this very U.S. Open. So it doesn't happen often.

27:46Shannon Sharpe:No.

27:47Chad Johnson:And for that match to go four hours and 30 minutes, and that man still serving at 146 miles per hour, through that duration, it tells you a lot about his conditioning, And the way he approached the game. Yes. It was impressive to watch, bro. It was so impressive.

28:02Joe Johnson:I think tennis players, especially those at the highest level, their conditioning might be up there with MMA and soccer and boxing. Because you playing tennis four hours, it ain't like you standing in one spot four hours. You moving left and right and, man. Up, back.

28:17Shannon Sharpe:And the thing is now, they got the clock on you. They'll be letting you take your time and go wipe your face and wave to the crowd and go get you a drink and everything. They got that clock on you. And they got that in baseball, too. Yeah, they got the 36-clock.

28:31Joe Johnson:Because the pitchers be taking all that damn time.

28:31Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, they got time for all that, man. Pitch the ball, man. Who we get up out of here? And hit us, too. They be pulling up with the gloves. Okay. Man, get your ass in the battle box and hit them the elbow, man. Ain't nobody got time for you to be doing all that. But, man, this is going to be a great fight. I can't wait to see. Look, Ocho and I, Joe, this is probably your first time being here. But Ocho and I, we've done a couple of these. and everybody come out and say the same thing. They're going to do this, they're going to do that, and then they get in the ring and don't do none of what they say.

29:03Shannon Sharpe:I'm looking at some of these guys. I believe them. Yeah. I believe them this time around. I believe they're going to do what they say they're going to do. Exactly, yeah.

29:10Chad Johnson:I tell you what, Conor Venn, he seemed convincing to me. Yeah. He seemed convincing to me. He seemed like a guy who's ready and prepared for the fight. Obviously, you know, the way he came in and talked about how he's going to impose his will, I'm looking forward to that, bro.

29:24Shannon Sharpe:I want to see it. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

29:25Joe Johnson:And I'm surprised Vegas has Conor Bennett as the underdog.

29:28Shannon Sharpe:He's decided the underdog.

29:30Joe Johnson:I'm not, well, let me be quiet.

29:36Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. But, hey, when I saw it down with Ryan, Ryan said he's at the speed. He said he ain't ready for it. He ain't never seen speed like this. Yeah. He ain't never seen power.

29:45Joe Johnson:Even as fast as Ryan is, you know, you talk to anybody that's been in combat sports, one thing that beats speed is timing.

29:51Shannon Sharpe:Yes.

29:52Joe Johnson:Once he catches rhythm, the way you fight and the way you throw it, I mean, as fast as you are, it means nothing. That's how Marquez caught Pacquiao.

29:58Shannon Sharpe:Bingo. He timed him up perfect because he knows Pacquiao like him.

30:01Joe Johnson:That bounce, that bounce, yeah, see, timing.

30:03Shannon Sharpe:One, two, one, bam.

30:05Joe Johnson:Once you catch a rhythm, then that speed means nothing.

30:07Chad Johnson:Yeah, I want to see if Ryan has, you know, gotten better with his ring IQ versus just trying to use his speed and come with that hook every time. Man, people are going to be sitting on there, bro. They're going to cut your lights out real quick. And his conditioning.

30:44you

30:45Shannon Sharpe:You said cuz he was overweight when he yeah, I think sometimes they'd be Debbie Debbie try to make this try to sell it I ain't even train hard not beat you. Oh Man, that be like me and Ocho say, man, you know what? I ain't even practice this whole week. I was at home. The coach sent me home for the whole week. And, boy, that's a lie. You know you ain't finna come out here and kill no damage.

31:05Joe Johnson:Is there more hot dogs?

31:07Shannon Sharpe:Nah, they good. They gone.

31:09Joe Johnson:Animal?

31:10Shannon Sharpe:I don't know.

31:11Joe Johnson:You trying to gobble down another one? Animal hot dogs? I'm a hot dog.

31:18Shannon Sharpe:Chad, I'm sorry.

31:20Joe Johnson:That's it?

31:22Shannon Sharpe:Oh, man. Chad, I'm sorry.

31:29Joe Johnson:wait is that somebody's you sure George you want it no no

31:42yeah you go I guess

31:46Shannon Sharpe:I guess nobody want me to have no smoothie huh yeah the strawberry with pineapples yeah You want a beer? No, hell no. I mean, I'm good. I'm good. This man thought I wanted a hot dog. Ain't no hot dog in 30 years. So you want this other half? No, no, no. I'm good. All right.

32:06Joe Johnson:Hey, Chad. Y 'all want some hot dogs?

32:08Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, it's like strawberry, mango, pineapple, banana. I think that's what's in it. Hey, them used to be birthday go-tos as a kid. Yeah, but yeah.

32:16Joe Johnson:You know that Glenn Johnson?

32:17Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Light heavy.

32:18Joe Johnson:Fort Roy?

32:19Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

32:19Joe Johnson:Yeah.

32:20Shannon Sharpe:He knocked Roy out. Unfortunately, he knocked Roy out. Roy was on the ring trying to do the rope-a-dope and he got one through there.

32:27Chad Johnson:My man right here? Yeah.

32:28Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Yeah. Nah, I'm good. Joe got that weak-ass bladder.

32:37Chad Johnson:That's why they finna be running to the bathroom.

32:41Joe Johnson:I just pee back here.

32:44Shannon Sharpe:Oh, no.

32:45Joe Johnson:You should get that little cup, Joe. Get a little water bottle. Save your time.

32:49Shannon Sharpe:Nah, the bathroom right out the door. It's close by.

32:53Joe Johnson:Where you been at? Hey, you seen Andre Ward? Hey, let him know. I'm looking for him. Yeah, where is he at? Where's Dre at? Oh, he's here?

33:05Shannon Sharpe:I know Tarvin's supposed to be stopping by, too.

33:09Joe Johnson:Hey, see Andre Ward. I'm with his ass. Come on. You good, Martin?

33:17Shannon Sharpe:How can I meet you? What's up, bro? How you doing? Everything good? Good, good, good. Go ahead, Ocho. Huh? Huh? I ain't got nothing on here. Oh, okay. Magsayo. Pronounce that last name. Magsayo. Magsayo. Magsayo. Magsayo. Magsayo. 29-2, 19 kills. What can we expect out of this fight?

33:44Joe Johnson:Oh, you're going to expect... They got fireworks.

33:47Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

33:48Joe Johnson:Fireworks. Like, yeah. He's undefeated, but I'm more experienced. I'm more stronger and better than him. This is my prime. This is my way. Yeah.

33:56Shannon Sharpe:Let's go.

33:57Joe Johnson:Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. How was camp? How was camp? Did you camp good? Eight weeks camp is good because after my fight last April 5th, I win knockout. And then I know that he's my next opponent. Right. So after that one-week rest, I train. You took one week off after your last fight in April? Yeah, just one week off because I am a disciplined guy. Right, right. I don't drink. I don't do party. Just family. Just locked in. Just locked in. Right.

34:28Chad Johnson:What's your fighting style? Give us your fighting style. I can do brawl.

34:31Joe Johnson:I can do technique style, whatever, who comes in me. I mean, I just.

34:39Shannon Sharpe:Okay. You grew up in the Philippines. Yes. So, obviously, Manny Pac-Man. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

34:45Joe Johnson:I've been on the card of Pacquiao two times. Okay. I fought here in Timmobile Arena. I win knockout of the year of Delphi, you see. And then that was 2021 when he fought August. Right.

34:59Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. So you looking to turn the lights out of the building. When you go into the – you ain't trying to go to the judges' cards. You trying to make no doubt about it that you get your hand raised

35:10Joe Johnson:before we get to the judges. Yeah, we're trying to win every round or knockout. So win every round or the opportunity, the knockout is a bonus.

35:22Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Yeah, Cortez is younger than you, but you would have the city and undefeated. How motivated are you to silence it because, you know, hey, he's home.

35:30Joe Johnson:It's good. No, it's my home too. I live here now. Okay, okay. I have a lot of properties here, so it's my home now, Las Vegas. Yes, so it's good that I have my whole back, my Filipinos. Yes. They supported me here. Yeah. My last previous fight, a lot of Filipinos. I'm so happy. And for this fight, for me and Cortez, he's going to taste a defeat. You'll taste a defeat, huh? He's going to taste a defeat. I like it. He never fought a guy like me. Never fought a guy like me. More experience. I fight Gary Russell Jr., the longest-running champion in WBC. Right. and then we fall hard and I win. Yeah, I fall like good fighters.

36:13Joe Johnson:I don't want to go too far in advance before this fight starts, but you're very confident that you're going to win this fight. I'm confident that you're going to win this fight. I've watched you fight before, very skillful, very good. After this fight, who is somebody you'd like to see next? And I don't mean to ask about future opponents, but I'm just curious, is there anybody that's on your radar? I'm looking, I'm aiming the belt, the Zuba belt. I think Rayo, we're going to fight Rayo. After this fight, we're going to fight Rayo. He's good. He's good, he's strong. I like it. The stronger, the better.

36:49Joe Johnson:Yeah, that'd be a good fight. Okay.

36:50Shannon Sharpe:Did you always want to be a fighter?

36:52Joe Johnson:Always. Here.

36:56Chad Johnson:From a kid?

36:57Joe Johnson:I started boxing at eight. At eight? Eight years old. Yeah. I inspired training. I inspired training because of Pacquiao.

37:05Shannon Sharpe:Right. Yeah. So Pacquiao, he's a hero in the Philippines. He's a hero. He's a hero in the Philippines. He's a legend. You ever met Pacquiao? You ever talked to him?

37:16Joe Johnson:No, we talked. I undercut his fight. Yeah. Yeah. When I'm undercut in his fight, it's a dream come true. Wow. Before, I was just a kid looking at him, hero. Yeah. Watching him on the TV. Yeah. Now I'm one of the, he's undercut before. Wow. Dream come true.

37:35Chad Johnson:Yeah, that's good. Hey, the guy you fight and he's undefeated, is being undefeated kind of overrated in boxing?

37:43Joe Johnson:Yeah, he has a lot of fight of cherry-picked opponents. Oh, he cherry-picked his opponent. I saw a lot of fights. The losses are a lot. Yeah. He never fought a guy. He ain't fought nobody like you, though. Right, right. More experienced. Right. And I fight a good fighter, a good Mexican fighter, knockout artist or brawler like Pegorov, like Vargas, Gary Russell, Holyosea.

38:08Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

38:09Joe Johnson:They're a good fighter. And then I win. Some of them I lost because of my rehydration, but no, what do you call this? No excuses. There's no rehydration in this fight, right? No rehydration. Now I'm comfortable in my weight. Okay. 135 pounds. Now I'm 136. I can eat. I can train.

38:30Chad Johnson:Tomorrow, let's wait and then eat. So what's your walk-around weight? What do you normally walk?

38:35Joe Johnson:My normal walking weight is like 146, 147. Oh, okay.

38:38Shannon Sharpe:So you don't have to really tax your body to make weight because you're walking around sub 150 and trying to make 135. So eight weeks is a breeze for you.

38:47Joe Johnson:12 pounds over, 12 pounds. And then when I train, 9 pounds. And then when I cut my carbs, I like rice. Yeah. And when I cut my carbs, the weight goes down.

38:58Shannon Sharpe:What went into the decision of you joining supper boxing?

39:01Joe Johnson:Superboxing is the best, man. Like, I never treated like this. I never treated like this. Like, everything is there. The food, the platform in Paramount. Yeah. I feel like a champ.

39:14Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Yeah, I feel like a champ. Wow. Oh, wow. Thank you, sir. Bro, thank you, man. Good luck on Saturday.

39:20Joe Johnson:Yes, sir. I'm going to do my best to enjoy you. Good luck. To entertain you. I'll see you Saturday. Thank you, thank you. Thank you, man. Thank you for having me. No, thank you for coming on. You need a sparring partner. I'm here, okay?

39:33Chad Johnson:Hey, hey, Ojo, buddy might be a little small, but boy, he probably got some dynamite. Hey, Joe, he can go, boy. Yeah, he got some hands. I can tell. He can go. You heard what he said? One key thing he said to me was discipline. Yeah. Very disciplined. Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey. You don't party. You don't hang out. You hear about it? Family. Yeah. You might want to leave him alone. You don't bother with that shit.

39:53Joe Johnson:He a volume puncher, too. Yeah. He's a shitload of punches around. Yeah.

39:56Chad Johnson:Is that typical for them Filipino kind of... The small you are most of the time. Yeah, the small you are. Because I know pack out here. The more punches you go.

40:02Shannon Sharpe:The more punches you go around. Because look at it. You don't need a whole lot of oxygen to fuel that body. Right. You start getting on up there, 168, 175, 205. It's a little different. You better save some of that.

40:16Joe Johnson:You punch yourself out. Yeah, be out of hand. Yeah. And you go anaerobic in there, don't worry about it.

40:22Shannon Sharpe:It won't be long. It won't be long.

40:30Shannon Sharpe:We got Ryan Garcia coming on at 2.30. I sat down with Ryan. Yeah, what did he say? Man, he was out of his mind. He called, he was talking crazy about everybody. Yeah. Talking crazy about Shakur. Talking crazy about Bud. Bud, yeah. Talking crazy about Ben. Talking crazy. And before, I was like, I wonder what Ben's relationship is to Nigel Ben. Because I remember his dad, the Dark and Destroyer. Yeah. I remember him fighting. Yeah. I said, I wonder what relationship that he is. And come to find out. And he says, hey, he didn't know that was his dad until he was like 16, 17 years old.

41:01Joe Johnson:That's crazy.

41:02Shannon Sharpe:And then he started fighting. That's been in him, and he didn't know why.

41:07Joe Johnson:Yeah.

41:08Shannon Sharpe:That's crazy.

41:09Joe Johnson:That's a great story, too. That's a great story.

41:13Shannon Sharpe:This moved it real good. Here, Joe.

41:15Chad Johnson:Yeah.

Yeah. Make sure you're breathing. Yeah. He trying to do 100. Now he's trying to show out. I mean, you got it. Yeah. Yeah.

42:13Joe Johnson:Hey, Dana, don't forget about my fight.

42:19Chad Johnson:Okay.

42:20Joe Johnson:I don't have your number. I got it. Okay. He's not going to give it to me.

42:26Chad Johnson:All right.

42:29Joe Johnson:Hey, nightcap boxing, baby. It's almost here.

42:33Chad Johnson:All right, now.

42:36Joe Johnson:Hey, Joe, can you imagine? Y 'all, y 'all, when I walk to the ring, y 'all going to walk me out? Yeah, that's too far for me. I'll be in my chair.

42:48Shannon Sharpe:Man, I walk no farther than I have to walk, man. They already, hey, they see me walking out there limping. They like, yeah, he about to get two up.

43:01Joe Johnson:Boy, I feel good, bro.

43:03Shannon Sharpe:Man, little dude look ferocious. That only man. Yeah, hell yeah. But I still can't get over the Nigerian dude, man. Basketball, football. I'm looking at him, Joe. I'm like, man, that man's like a basketball player. Yeah. Man done played every sport. But when you got tall, you got power. Because you can generate power. Mm-hmm. And genetics, bro. You know who he kind of built like? Who? You remember Michael Grant, the heavyweight? Michael Grant.

43:38Joe Johnson:Michael Grant.

43:38Shannon Sharpe:He ended up losing. I remember the name. He ended up losing to Lennox. But he was like 6 '7". But when you got that kind of height, and you can put that kind of power, generate that kind of power behind it.

43:52Chad Johnson:Yeah. That's why I'm trying to tell Ocho, man. I don't know why he started barking up that tree. Who? Joe, you heard the first thing he said? What? What he's saying?

44:00Joe Johnson:When he was sitting here before he got up?

44:01Chad Johnson:What he's saying?

44:02Joe Johnson:Where that boy Ocho could bark. You hear me?

44:05Chad Johnson:But he said he's chin suspect. He did say he chin was suspect.

44:08Joe Johnson:Yeah, that's, that's, that don't mean nothing.

44:10Chad Johnson:And, and we, we really in two different weight classes, but since you've been running your mouth a little bit.

44:15Joe Johnson:I don't care about weight class because my hand's registered, Joe. All right. If I was to hit you right now, you could get me sitting in jail.

44:23Chad Johnson:Because your hand's registered?

44:25Joe Johnson:You know, I'm licensed, Joe. I had to be licensed or the box.

44:28Chad Johnson:Why this man think he's going to be able to get off on me?

44:33Joe Johnson:All right, he done told you already, Joe. I ain't going to say nothing else to him. All right. Joe, you eating a hot dog, too?

44:38Shannon Sharpe:I don't... Hey, hey. Joe done had him cut up a hot dog and put it between two. A bone. It's a sandwich. Hot dog is not a sandwich. I don't care what nobody say. Who ordered them hot dogs? Hey, thank you.

44:56Joe Johnson:All three of them shits was good.

44:58Shannon Sharpe:Chad, I'm sorry, Chad.

45:00Chad Johnson:Damn. Nah, I'm Gucci, bro. I'm straight. I'm straight.

45:04Joe Johnson:Hey, ass, them hot dogs good, bro. Yeah.

45:10Shannon Sharpe:I'ma hit him. I'ma hit Dana. him. Might go gambling. Dana gonna be in the high rolling.

45:18Chad Johnson:You're gonna have to bring about 10 bands with you, if not more.

45:21Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, Dana gonna come in there with no band. Dana get marker. I don't want no marker. Oh, yeah, because you're gonna be in the bowl. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I don't want no marker. Whatever I come with, if I lose it, I'm good. You heard what he said? Whatever you're comfortable with, lose it. I'm only comfortable with losing a couple of thousand. Yeah. Maybe five. Five, I'm still gonna be able to sleep comfortable. Yeah. Man, I'll be, boy, I'll be mad. Boy, I tell my own damn house I lose 50, 50, 100 bands. Man, it's been amazing right here to sit down and talk to the guys. It has, man. Everybody look like I said.

45:57Shannon Sharpe:The last guy was like, hey, he walks around, and that's what I tell people about Floyd. Floyd is not a naturally big man. So, Floyd probably, Floyd making 147, Floyd walking around at 150,

46:08Chad Johnson:152. Yep, yep. That's who do remind you of, because Floyd discipline like that too. You know, the way But he don't do none of that party, smoke. I mean, well, he'll party, but he ain't going to drink or nothing. He'll go, and then he'll leave there and go straight to the gym. Yeah. You got to appreciate that. I've enjoyed it because we get a chance to see it from a boxer's point of view and the things that they think about, you know, going into the ring, being in the ring. After your game plan don't work and you get hit, you know what I mean? After you bounce back, you're mentally strong. So, for me, I've had a pleasure, man.

46:43Chad Johnson:And I've had the pleasure to interview some of these cats. And I can't wait to see them. I can't wait to see them fight on Saturday.

46:50Shannon Sharpe:Malik Nabors made it clear that his decision, if he'll play on Sunday, is his. He said he feels confident overall, but the game is different, and he wants to make sure he's not rushing. At the end of the day, it's my career, it's my body, and I know when I'm able to play. Take your time, Malik.

47:06Joe Johnson:Sure do. But I don't understand what all that means.

47:10Shannon Sharpe:That means that he's going to make a decision on if he's ready to play. If he don't feel like he's ready to go out there and compete and be able to help the team win, he ain't going out there. He's not going to let the team rush him back out there.

47:20Chad Johnson:And if we just keep it at 100, the man ain't going to be ready week one.

47:23Joe Johnson:Now, he, you know. Hey, talking like that, yeah. Because normally, if you're ready, you got one-word answers. I'm going to see you all Sunday. I'm ready.

47:32Shannon Sharpe:I ain't got to say nothing. You'll see him out there on Sunday.

47:34Chad Johnson:Yeah. Yeah, he's not ready. Yeah, take your time, young fella. That's all right. Hey, I'll tell you one thing.

47:39Joe Johnson:Old number three going to go over there and handle that thing, though. He going to be all right.

47:43Chad Johnson:Oh, he going to get some catches. Nah, catches? You act like Odell for the guy to go for 150.

47:49Joe Johnson:Joe, he has to be the focal point. He's the only one you can trust. Outside of Darnell Mooney, and Darnell Mooney's not an outside guy. He's an inside guy. So that means Malik's neighbor spot has to be done and taken over by Odell.

48:00Shannon Sharpe:Man.

48:01Joe Johnson:I'm telling you. Watch. Now, don't be surprised Odell have a hundred and some change in the touchdown. I said it first.

48:09Shannon Sharpe:All I know is I'm mad at Yahoo for giving me him. Who? You mean Odell? Malik Nabors. No, Yahoo picked him. Who you with a guy? I don't know. I wouldn't have taken him. If you notice, I didn't take anybody that was coming off injury. Too risky. Yeah. Too risky. Mike, they did something. They got us in what you call the pick, got me picking last.

48:38Chad Johnson:and yeah I felt I should have had top three pick just keep it 100 actually technically it really

48:44Joe Johnson:don't matter where you pick if you know what you're doing when it's time to pick yeah FYI yeah okay I'm just telling you all right we're gonna see

48:52Shannon Sharpe:Matthew Stavis gonna get me off to a great start tonight when he throw for four touchdowns and two

48:56Joe Johnson:I'm gonna be the Pucco wait four touchdowns against the 49ers defense yeah and two I'm gonna be if it was week 10 and week 11, then I would agree with you.

49:06Shannon Sharpe:Don't you worry about what my team going to do. You worry about your team getting beat by Tampa at home.

49:11Joe Johnson:You think we going to lose?

49:13Shannon Sharpe:I should go to the game. I don't care if y 'all lose or not, as long as your guys don't do too much. You should go to what game?

49:20Joe Johnson:Like, leave here on the Red Eye Saturday and go to Cincinnati. Because I land, if I leave here on the Red Eye, I land in Cincinnati, what, 6 in the morning, call the Bengals for a ticket, watch the game and go back to... They do nightcap in Cincinnati. Tuesday off. Fly back to Miami.

49:41Shannon Sharpe:Well, good luck with that.

49:46Joe Johnson:Hey, let's stay here. Let's go to the Raiders-Dolphins game. We already in Vegas. I know. Ocho, I don't know the Raiders. I know them. I know Mr. Davis. I get it. Hey, Joe, you want to go to the game?

49:59Shannon Sharpe:When?

50:00Joe Johnson:They play the Dolphins Sunday.

50:02Shannon Sharpe:The Dolphins? Yeah. You think somebody want to see the guppies? The who? The guppies. The Dolphins.

50:57Shannon Sharpe:How are you talking about you want to be on and you ain't even here?

51:00Joe Johnson:That's what he told me.

51:01Shannon Sharpe:Let me see.

51:06Joe Johnson:I need to hit another 50.

51:22Shannon Sharpe:You sent that to Rio? You sent that to Rio? What you sent me? In my DM. that explains it yeah we good

51:35Joe Johnson:yeah I agree whatever y 'all talking about

51:43Shannon Sharpe:but it ain't gonna be the same

51:50Shannon Sharpe:what we got to talk what y 'all want to talk about I want some

51:55Joe Johnson:more hot dogs

51:56Shannon Sharpe:man ain't nobody they got a hot dog

52:03Huh? Huh?

52:07Shannon Sharpe:I saw people walking down there with floaties and... No. No. Absolutely not.

52:20No.

52:21Shannon Sharpe:Hell no.

52:26Shannon Sharpe:Man, you know what? I hope, what did we see last time? We went to the fight, we saw Bax Holloway, he was fighting somebody, and all he did was get Oliveira. And all Oliveira did was take him down. I hope we don't get no fights like that, Joe, where it was all hype, like, oh, yeah, we're going to see some action, and we're going to see no action. No. But I definitely think Conor and Garcia is going to be some action. Yeah, absolutely. And the little guy that just came on, yeah.

52:59Chad Johnson:There's going to be some action. With them first couple rounds, they're going to be fill-outs. You got to, they're going to try, they ain't coming out swinging.

53:06Joe Johnson:That's why I asked Conner. I said, what version are we, I mean, what version are we going to get? You going to come out guns a-blazing, or you going to come out methodical and feel him out the first couple rounds?

53:16Chad Johnson:I'm matching his energy. Yeah, so they're going to come out, they're going to feel him.

53:20Joe Johnson:Ryan liked to be the aggressive sometimes. when he fought when he first how he made that mistake against tank yes trying to be too aggressive

53:28Chad Johnson:walk right into something twice i think he learned from from from those experiences though you know i mean i think he gonna come out a little more disciplined he'll still you know obviously throw that that hook trying to get him out of that but i don't got him coming i don't got neither one of them coming out just brawling right off dumb probably about third round fourth round probably when you start seeing some guys really you know mixing it up but yeah or when the crowd you know

53:50Shannon Sharpe:Sometimes the crowd get anxious, get anxious, and they be like, man, bro. They start going? Yeah, yeah, man. Hey, it don't take long. It don't take long. They don't want to see all that feeling. Like, here we are in the third or fourth round, that we ain't really seen no punching. Everybody's just fainting and moving around. Yeah, throwing them fainting. Nah, nah. Hey, let your hands go. We want to see people let their hands go. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

54:18Chad Johnson:It's going to be some action. They fighting right here? Yeah, in your gym. Oh, this is what I'm talking about. You know what? Boy, you all right with me? We ain't got to do no more. Come downstairs? That's it. Come on, man. Come on, man.

54:32Shannon Sharpe:That's it.

54:37Shannon Sharpe:But, no, this is going to be a, I think it's going to be an exciting fight. Like I said, I want to see the basketball player fight.

54:44Chad Johnson:I do, too. You know what? I do, too, man. I do, too. That man got 18 KOs at 19 wins. He did. He did say he got flatlined at one time. He said, I got flatlined, so I want to see what he got. But I like that because, you know what, he's like, hey, I got stock.

54:59Shannon Sharpe:I got knock-knock cold. Yeah. He ain't try to hide. He ain't try to run away from it. Yeah. He's like, yeah, I got 19 wins, and I got 18 knockouts and 19 wins. But, hey, nobody got the best of me, too, though. Yeah.

55:13Chad Johnson:Hey, to have 18 knockouts with 19 wins? Yeah. Boy, you ain't playing. You putting pressure on the phone.

55:19Joe Johnson:All that is is also getting knocked out could be a good thing. Now I got to go to the drawing board. I got to go fix some things.

55:26Chad Johnson:Damn, man, I ain't trying to get knocked out. No? I want that O next to my name.

55:30Joe Johnson:Well, you might want to be careful over here then, Joe. Who, who, me and you? I'm just saying, you say you don't want to get knocked out.

55:36Chad Johnson:Yeah, nah, that ain't going to happen, O, Joe. I'm going to keep the O next to my name, man.

55:41Joe Johnson:Okay. I mean, the only O you, I mean, you talk about the J. I mean, after we spell Joe, you know, it's like, you know, J. J. You know?

55:53Chad Johnson:Okay, okay.

55:55Shannon Sharpe:You're going to see it. Because a lot of times, you know, I'm anxious to see what type of Ryan we're going to get. Because sometimes, you know, he's like real laid back, real lethargic, melancholy. And a lot of times, because I called him a couple of weeks ago, and he was upbeat. I mean, if you guys check out the interview on Club J.J. Yeah, yeah. Man, he was full tilt, Joe. Yeah.

56:14Chad Johnson:Full tilt. And you know what? When I was watching that, I was wondering, was he, some of the stuff he was saying, Uncle Ocho, was he just trying to get attention? Because he was calling some cats out. Oh, yeah. Like, he was. He liked that, though, for real.

56:27Joe Johnson:He always been like that.

56:29Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. But you got to give him credit, though. And he's one of the few, Ocho, that he's fought a lot of people. He fought Tank. He fought Devin. He fought Roley. Roley. Yeah. Yeah. He fighting Conor Bean. Hey, you can say what you want to say. He ain't dunking nobody. He ain't coming up with them excuses. Nope. He say he want to fight, say he going to fight Teofimo. If he does that, if he wins this fight here and fight Teofimo. And he beat Teo. I think it'd be a great fight. I was disappointed with Roley. Roley had us, man. Man, Rolick then sold us, came on there, sold us, hook, line, and sinker.

57:15Shannon Sharpe:Man, told us.

57:16Chad Johnson:You should have been more impressed with, uh, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, Rolick? Tia Fimo. Tia Fimo, yeah.

57:23Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

57:23Chad Johnson:Because I thought he fought a great fight. He did. Yeah. He did. He fought, he fought great. He had that one round to where Rolick got on that round, that fifth round. Outside of that? Outside of that, he didn't really do much. That boy was coming forward the whole fight.

57:37Shannon Sharpe:And what you got, and Rolick didn't seem like he had, it seemed like Rolick was just trying to catch him with the check. Yeah. What do you call Garci? What do you call Garci?

1:07:38Shannon Sharpe:Then he told me he's going to get, he told me, I'm going to get Shakur for you because I didn't like how he disrespected you, huh?

1:07:47Chad Johnson:Hey.

1:07:49Shannon Sharpe:You think him and Shakur fight? What he said, he doesn't understand, is that how some Shakur say he can fight at 147, but he won't fight Devin at 147. He won a catchweight. He said he done. He said he done with 40, catchweight. He said 47. He said he looking to fight 47 and 54. Come on, he won't boost. I said, man, you better sit down.

1:08:14Joe Johnson:You know, all them, they much bigger than Shakur, though. Yeah. It's just naturally bigger than him.

1:08:20Shannon Sharpe:Hell, everybody, what you call other than Packard, y 'all was bigger than Mayweather. Yeah.

1:08:30Shannon Sharpe:I mean, you look at Mayweather now. Mayweather walking around, Mayweather probably like 155. Easy. Maybe. And that's heavy. Yes. Yes. Because he's still in there on the bag. He's still hitting the miss. He's still in the ring. so he's a he's a he's a guy that loves the sport of boxing yeah it's paid him well it's paid off well for him but he's a guy that just loves boxing loves being around boxing loves talking boxing loves everything about the sport of boxing yeah

1:09:15Shannon Sharpe:Okay. We're being told that Shane Mosley is on the way. Hopefully he gets here before 255.

1:13:51Shannon Sharpe:I just got tired of hitting bombs like Brandon Alvarez. Brandon Aubrey going to pay a big for me this year. You think so? Yeah. I hope he do. I might be willing to let him go, Joe, for a nominal fee.

1:14:07Chad Johnson:Man, you trying to trade me Brandon Aubrey for hell puka. Come on, man. James Cook. For James Cook. Hold on. You want me to trade James Cook, my best running back, for a kicker?

1:14:22Chad Johnson:Look how the man tried to swindle me, bro.

1:14:25Shannon Sharpe:Man, somebody took CJ in the second round. So, I mean, the second pick. Who was that? Who got CJ? I think that's, is that who I'm playing? I think Stevie got it. Did Stevie take CJ?

1:14:43Shannon Sharpe:No, who took CJ Stroud? Keytron.

1:14:52Shannon Sharpe:And then he ended up snaking me for Josh Allen.

1:14:59Shannon Sharpe:Oh, that's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. Yeah. Yeah.

1:15:10Yeah.

1:15:11Shannon Sharpe:Christian got JSN. Yeah. Huh?

1:15:19Who?

1:15:19Chad Johnson:Me? He got CD? He want puka. He want puka before the game jump off?

1:15:31Chad Johnson:I ain't going to lie, boy. I wouldn't really mind making that trade, but, you know. It's early. Yeah, I know it's early. I mean, can I see what he do in a couple weeks? But the thing is, when C.D. go out there doing his one-two, now you ain't going to want to get up off of him.

1:15:53Shannon Sharpe:He said it might be a Might have to Cost you a little extra To get CD? Yep Why you need all them Dallas players though, Joe? Come on, come on There you go You getting the ball You getting your heart involved I didn't get CD, I got Puka But you got the Dallas defense, you got Dak

1:16:16Chad Johnson:That's all I got That's why our defense is going to be solid. But you want CD. Yeah, I do want CD. But the only thing is, if I do get CD, then it's going to hurt me when they have that bye week. You know what I'm saying? Because I ain't going to have DAC or CD. That's okay. That's what you got backups for. Yeah, but I might just keep what I got, man. You know, we'll make it work.

1:16:39Shannon Sharpe:You got backup. Who are your backup wide receivers?

1:16:42Chad Johnson:I got, what's my boy from Houston? Nico. I got Nico Collier. I got Nico Collier.

1:16:48Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. The question is, if that's riding, not start Nico, start CD, and Nico go crazy, you're going to be sick.

1:16:57Chad Johnson:I got, uh, no. It depends on who they playing, too. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Absolutely. I'm paying attention, though. Because, boy, I win the fantasy football. I don't know. How y 'all going to get over that one? You're not going to win, though. Okay. Okay. Okay.

1:17:43Shannon Sharpe:What's up, bro?

1:18:02What's up, baby? What's up, bro? How you doing? What's up? What's up, bro? Good. Yeah,

1:18:12Shannon Sharpe:for sure. What's going on, bro? You good? Yeah. Man, you done got me in trouble talking crazy on the pod. Man, I told you not to do that.

1:18:19Ryan Garcia:We had fun, right?

1:18:22Shannon Sharpe:That's all that mattered.

1:18:23Chad Johnson:I had a great time.

1:18:24Joe Johnson:Listen, you were very, very comfortable before a very big fight. You're very relaxed. Thank you. Why is that?

1:18:31Ryan Garcia:I think preparation is key, right? Yeah. I think I took all the necessary steps that I had to do to make me feel this confident, this at peace. obviously my faith in god always brings that sense of peace to me as well but um with the with the training camp everything went went as as it should be and that makes you feel confident

1:18:55Joe Johnson:you know so for the naysayers for those on the outside boxing analysts pundits the casual fans that are watching they say you're not really focused on this fight you know calling out other fighters you know not showing up to a face-off what do you have to say to them uh i move out my

1:19:12Ryan Garcia:own sense of tune. You know, I don't really move at what everybody else wants me to do. Right. What I think is the right move is the right move. We have to see, you know, how you perform. Everybody wants to make big things out of nothing. Right. But come fight night, I'm going to be as sharp as sharp can be, so I'm not too worried about it. I like it. You predicted an early knockout

1:19:36Chad Johnson:in this fight. What are you seeing technically that makes you so confident going into this fight?

1:19:43Ryan Garcia:I mean, he looks good, you know, when he's fighting. He's explosive and whatnot. But you know when somebody's kind of a beginner in a way. He's an athletic beginner. So, you know, he's not at my, you know, level at this point. And it's not a shot at him. He just don't have a lot of experience. So we're going to make that real known for sure. Okay.

1:20:06Shannon Sharpe:He's on here earlier. He said he feels very confident. He said whatever type of fight you want to fight, he ready.

1:20:11Ryan Garcia:He could be confident. He could be mad, sad, happy, whatever. He's getting knocked out. So what does it matter? I don't care what he says. It's like when somebody's talking shit about to play you in a video game when you know you're about to beat his ass. You're goofy. Once you get in there, you're going to lose, and then what? Right. He's just not as good at the game than me. Right.

1:20:29Joe Johnson:What version of Ryan Garcia are we seeing? Are you coming out aggressive? Are you going to come out and feel him out, feel him out the first few rounds, set traps up in early rounds to accomplish and execute him in later rounds? What version do you think we're going to get?

1:20:42Ryan Garcia:You're going to see a violent version from the last fight. So whatever you've seen in the last fight is going to be more violent. Ryan Garcia. Same focus. Yeah. Same sharpness. Yes. But that violentness to it is going to be amped up. You'll see. So you're setting the tone early. Setting the tone early. Yeah, he won't win one round. I'm not going to let him win one round. Damn. So if you're going to think I'm going to let him just control it from the start and trying to be overly aggressive, we're going to settle that boy down right away. So he's not going to win a round.

1:21:15Shannon Sharpe:Ryan, the thing that I've given you credit for, it's like the one thing you can say about Ryan, you might not like that he'd be talking too much and he's not as serious as he needs to be, but you look at the fighters that you fought. You fought Tank. You fought Rowley. You fought Devin. You're fighting Conor Benn. You're taking chances that other guys always talk about, oh, I'll fight this guy anytime, anyplace, and it comes down to everybody be backing away from each other. Why are you so confident that you're unafraid to fight anybody, anytime, anywhere?

1:21:43Ryan Garcia:I just feel like I'm at such a high level since the amateurs. What's there to fear? What's the worst thing that can happen to you? Lose? Okay, let's see why. Or let's see who's the best. Really, that's where it comes down to. Who's the best? I want to face everyone. I'm coming into my prime. I think I took those fights even when I wasn't where I needed to be. That's the difference, you know. But for me, I've always had that heart where when I watched an Oscar La Jolla fight, when I watched the Floyd Mayweather fight, when I watched a Manny Pacquiao fight, you got a certain level of intensity and excitement.

1:22:25Ryan Garcia:I wanted to bring that to boxing. I remember that. I remember those feelings. I remember everybody gathering up intense. Like, ooh, this is about to go. I wanted to bring that back to boxing. So I took those chances. But now I'm in the driver's seat. I'm still looking for those big fights, but now I have more maturity, more understanding of what to do, what not to do. Yeah.

1:22:43Chad Johnson:So is speed still important in your fighting style or has ring intelligence become more important since?

1:22:52Ryan Garcia:If you're doing things right, everything evolves. Right. You know, I'm blessed with speed. So that's one of my advantages. I just look at it as an advantage. Right, right. Everything else you got to work on. You know, timing, rhythm, execution, controlling distance, controlling range. I got athleticism, I got power, and I got speed that I've been blessed with. Yeah. That I don't got to worry about. Right. Everything else got to work together, you know. So it's just finding that right formula, finding that right, those right notes. Yeah. And everything comes together.

1:23:26Shannon Sharpe:Are we going to see the best Ryan Garcia that we've seen in a fight on Saturday night?

1:23:30Ryan Garcia:You're damn right. You're damn right. This is about to be nasty. Oh, my God. I cannot wait. They're really paying me to beat up a beginner, bro. This is crazy. You're paying me to beat up a beginner.

1:23:42Joe Johnson:I got a question. You say you're going to win this fight. You say he's not going to win a round. If there was a name out there that you want to see after this fight, is there somebody you can say that you would love to fight after you win this condominium fight? Oh, yeah.

1:23:56Ryan Garcia:I want to unify against Teofima Lopez. Teo. Teo. Teo. Ooh, that's a good one. I need that. I've always wanted to run that since the amateurs. He's the only one I didn't get to fight in the amateurs. Yes. And I remember his dad, you know, even when I would win national titles, I would hear his dad talking to other coaches. Ryan Garcia ain't got no style. Ryan Garcia, he's not really good. He's been talking shit about me since I was 8, 9. So you're going to really, I need that. I need that more so to shut his dad up. Because I know what his dad thinks of me. I know what they think of my style. They never thought I had a style.

1:24:31Ryan Garcia:They never thought I was going to be good. But, you know, now we meet up, and now we got to see what your son really can do against a guy that don't have style, that don't got the skills. I'll beat the brakes off of Teofimo. Bad. I'll beat the brakes off him. Spank him. Old ass whooping. Bow, bow, bow. Ah, ah, ah. Crazy shit.

1:24:54Shannon Sharpe:You seem real comfortable. So weight's not going to be an issue this time?

1:24:59Ryan Garcia:It never. It wasn't last time. 147 I'm really really comfortable at I won't say really comfortable at Everybody gotta cut weight But it's a weight that is manageable Manageable I'm here to reign as a 147 pound champion We heard him saying he's moving up regardless That tells me two things One he don't plan on making weight this fight Or he's setting up an excuse Those are the two things I see

1:25:26Chad Johnson:Hey what does the public Misunderstand about Ryan Garcia

1:25:31Ryan Garcia:here, bro? I mean, you don't get here without focus. Hello. You know, I'm very detailed in everything I do, from the way I box, to what I wear, to how I pose, to what I do. You know, everything's very specific, so they just, they kind of see me as a jokester, but it's all fun and games still.

1:25:53Joe Johnson:It's time to fight, until it's time to really go. Very strategic. Yeah. Very strategic.
