00:00Okay gentlemen, careful with the back of the heads.
00:03Anything right here is all good.
00:05Anything right here is all good.
00:06Obey the commands at all times.
00:07Protect yourselves at all times.
00:08When I call for the break, give me the clean break.
00:10Touch him up.
00:11Let's go.
00:12He's about to be a scrap.
00:14Look, there's no lack of confidence, Tim, in Steven Navarro.
00:18He says, look, I believe I have a good opponent,
00:20but I'm better than him in every aspect.
00:22So it's a matter of staying disciplined, showing my IQ,
00:25and finding out if he can keep up with me.
00:28Absolutely.
00:29I mean, it's confidence at an all-time high.
00:31Seriously, speaking of limited fighter meetings, you know,
00:33but you know what that comes from.
00:35Once a fighter unlocks the understanding of their skills, right,
00:38and capabilities, that's when they become dangerous.
00:41Navarro, he understands himself, and he knows what he's capable of doing.
00:45Look, he's been in there sparring some of the greats of this generation.
00:49From Manchoplatito Gonzalez on his way out.
00:52But Naoya Inoue and Bam Rodriguez, and he says,
00:55I can hold my own against those guys.
00:58I can do it against anybody.
00:59But Rios says, you know what?
01:00There's no headgear on, kid.
01:02I'm coming to fight.
01:03And you see him going to the body early on.
01:05Yeah, absolutely.
01:06And that's the way Rios is going to get it done.
01:08Because I think from a talent perspective, you know he's not more talented than Navarro.
01:11So what he's going to do, the old school way of attacking the south pole.
01:15Watch your heads, fellas.
01:16Watch your heads.
01:17You just go straight at him.
01:18You take all those angles away from him.
01:19And you see the redness already on the body of Navarro.
01:23Rios making it home for those body shots.
01:26And what do you do against a fighter who's got great legs, Tim?
01:29Oh, you got to hit the body.
01:30Absolutely.
01:31That's right.
01:32You take those legs away.
01:33Take his mobility away.
01:34Absolutely.
01:35That's a great game plan from Christopher Rios early on.
01:39He says, look, especially when they're young, Tim, a lot of guys don't get hit to the body.
01:43So how are they going to react?
01:44As you see, a nice overhand left from Steven Navarro.
01:48Well, it's easy.
01:49It's easy tactical work right here from Rios.
01:52It's because, hey, you want to box?
01:54Okay, you can box.
01:55But guess what?
01:56I want to slug.
01:58That's what you do against fighters and boxers that like to move and use their legs and be flashy from the outside.
02:03Don't sit there and let them do that cute stuff.
02:05No, you step to them.
02:06Get in they face.
02:07Get in they grill.
02:08Start beating them downstairs.
02:09And that's what Rios is doing.
02:11Rios says, look, I need to make Navarro regret taking punishment for me.
02:16But I also have to be smart while doing it.
02:18Absolutely.
02:19Nice southpaw stance from Navarro.
02:21Gets up and down with the jab to the body and upstairs.
02:24But nice left hook downstairs from Rios.
02:27And you just see Rios is not intimidated at all by the pedigree of Navarro.
02:31No, he's not.
02:32Oh, and he landed that shot himself.
02:34Oh, and that buzzed him for a second.
02:36Look at Navarro right now.
02:37Yeah, look.
02:38Navarro better reset.
02:39He better use his legs, hold, tie up, and do something right now.
02:43And he got buzzed by Juan Esteban Garcia last time out before prompting what many believe was an early stoppage in the fourth round at the Palms in Las Vegas on April 4th.
02:52So you can just see that when Rios is not showing respect and he's not intimidated, he's making a lot of light.
02:59That's another overhand shot from Rios.
03:01Nice body shot right to the stowler plexus from Navarro.
03:10Navarro.
03:11Ooh.
03:12That's a good overhand left.
03:14Surprised him.
03:15You see his feet buckle a little bit, but watch him come right back.
03:19You know Rios is in tip-top shape, man.
03:21He got hit with that shot.
03:23Sato's legs buckled a little bit, but now he's right back in Navarro's face.
03:27Showing no respect and no fear.
03:29From the southpaw stance and there's blood and it might be from Navarro.
03:32Pick him up, pick him up, pick him up.
03:33Time.
03:34Ooh.
03:35Where's the blood coming from?
03:36When he turns around, I want to see that.
03:38Mike Baz putting in work early on and it's a cut over the...
03:41Oh my goodness.
03:42Oh no, it might be from the nose.
03:43No, there is a cut.
03:44And the nose.
03:47A cut left eyelid.
03:48Relax, relax, relax.
03:52Let's look at this left hand that Rios landed.
04:04I believe from the southpaw stance, he steps inside.
04:07Forward shift.
04:09Yup, looping left hand, right on the chin.
04:11You know what, Navarro actually rode that a little bit.
04:13Took some of the steam off that shot.
04:15Yup, that's boxing IQ right there.
04:18Great understanding of where he was positioned.
04:21And then he saw that punch coming and he rode his head right along with it.
04:25Go to the nose.
04:26Go to the nose.
04:27Now if that would have landed flush, if he didn't rode that, he might have been hurt.
04:30It would have probably possibly went down.
04:31Move it, move it.
04:33Move it.
04:34No.
04:35His father, Refugio Navarro, his trainer as well as Marvin Samodio, the assistant trainer.
04:43As, as.
04:44Time in.
04:45As.
04:46he was asking steven to move to use his legs and you see just how quickly christopher rios closes
04:53the gap there yeah i mean look but he's closing the gap but he's holding it smartly at the same
04:57time but he's strong that's the difference you're seeing right here he's stronger seemingly at this
05:03point in the fight than that of navarro and he does switch south palm momentarily the fighter
05:08out of compton california forward shift he'll shoot that right hand he'll bring that that back
05:14foot forward back right there get himself in a different position to be able to punch from that
05:19angle it's a dangerous move but someday sometimes it works navarro hasn't made him pay for that yet
05:25good stab jab by rio straight to the body of navarro good body work sets up the overhand left from
05:30navarro you see that blood once again flowing from the left eyelid of steven navarro let's see how he
05:37reacts to that and also the pace right now is bothering i can tell it's bothering navarro
05:42navarro is usually the one that's on the front foot pushing the pace however getting pushed on the
05:46back foot starting to see the wear and tear not only on his face but i'm starting to see it actually
05:52while he's moving his punches aren't as sharp anymore and it's the body work
05:58that rios is putting in that's paying good dividends for him right now nice right uppercut from navarro
06:03you see good defense pairing some of those shots right hand from navarro that puts rios on stanky
06:11legs will he capitalize but you see the recuperate powers right there from rios rios is back in his
06:18face again got buzzed momentarily however navarro couldn't make him pay for that or couldn't follow
06:24up from that big shot that he landed nice uppercut he did good angle the one thing i like about
06:29navarro about navarro is he does make adjustments you know in his last fight he did struggle a little
06:34bit i'm not gonna lie he struggled a little bit but he figured it out he talked about that his uncle
06:41jose navarro says look the championship level is about making those adjustments and not making mistakes
06:47that cause opponents to punish you and that's a right overhand right and then the right uppercut from
06:52navarro and another thing that i know that i'm that i like from navarro is is that he's not it doesn't
06:59seem like he's panicking right yeah you see his face is calm poker face he might be feeling a certain
07:05way but he's just staying relaxed and he's letting the fight come to him that's real body work really
07:11paying dividends and navarro says yeah that doesn't feel well let me give you some of your own medicine
07:16right to the body once again from rios forums on the inside right there from rios just trying to
07:28open up that cut even more oh quick left hook from rios and navarro's in a fight here at the theater msg
07:38only a seventh professional foul and mike bazel has his word cut out for him over in that red corner
07:49and then steven when you throw the hoop over his jab aim for the chest okay the left hand is right here okay
08:19and stay close your head to the side after combination hands up yep on the inside good defense
08:25right here from navarro using those reflexes seeing that opening right up the middle slipping that uppercut
08:31right between the guards of rios there it is nice and short and tight impactful on the inside
08:38no follow-up shot right there from navarro when he had his man with his chin up all up in the air
08:42head right there on the pedal stool however beautiful beautiful eye candy right there for the fans at home
08:48okay stop stop stop stop stop stop stop and that cut it is a big about a one and a half inch gash on
08:55the left eyelid of steven navarro that mike basil's doing a great job on but he can't help him on
09:02defending these body shots from rios who continues to pressure and take the fight to navarro now navarro from
09:08the orthodox stance switching back southpaw yeah i mean all the all the stance changes and stuff and all the
09:13movement from navarro keep it clean keep it clean all he's doing is is he's meeting him right where
09:18he's going he's like oh i know where you're going you're going there no problem i'll meet you with a
09:21shot there oh you're gonna go to the left i'll meet you with a shot there that pressure he's putting on
09:26him that's just taking all those angles away from navarro good anticipation from navarro as you're
09:32mentioning the thing that i don't see food navarro that can help him to be able to slow down the pace
09:39you got it you got to involve the clinch you got to learn how to clinch and learn how to use it as a
09:43tactic right not only the rest but also stop the forward momentum of your opposition clinch him don't
09:50let him work you get yours off go ahead and clinch him tie him up just little subtle things that can
10:00help them especially in championship fights but this level of competition it shouldn't be looking
10:06like no no no championship fight i'm just letting you know that right now it shouldn't be looking like
10:11this good work right combination nice lead right navarro follows it up with the overhand left and
10:29you see rio slowing down a little bit but he's still persistent nice body work and that's exactly where
10:36rios wants navarro backwards against the ropes and letting him throw to the body and navarro
10:41at the same time the problem is is that there's nothing there's nothing he's giving him right
10:47before he gets to the front door there's nothing he's not using the jab to stick you know to keep
10:52him out at bay he's allowing rios to just walk through the front door and attack him
10:59you got to develop a mean stick man the stick meaning the jab and look i mentioned it on the
11:06manny pacquiao broadcast that a fighter like barrios could have won that fight behind the jab and he was
11:12missing that in his arsenal and here navarro could keep rios off of him because of the jab and he's not
11:18using it yeah got to use that jab oh short right hand there from navarro on the inside you have to use that
11:27jab and that's a that might be a round stealing left hand from navarro let's check out basil going to
11:48work
12:02we never saw referee shade of murdoch say if it was a punch or a headbutt but we have the best production
12:09team in the world and they saw this and the commission has been looking at it and it was
12:16exactly this exchange there with the orthodox and southpaw coming together and there is the blood
12:22over the left eyelid of stephen navarro check it out usually this happens you see both hands
12:29both of the fighters power hands lined up on the same side and so does their heads you know come
12:35i'm you know i'm you know i'm familiar with him but so really tim i didn't know that thank you for
12:40sharing that yeah you're really enlightening us tonight i'm just letting you know because i knew
12:45you were going to go there but i actually wasn't this time i was going to let you slip get the
12:49heck out of this bro you going to let me slide i was going to let you slide brother never
12:58i beat you to it you take a man's best weapon away
13:05neutralize it well that's exactly what stephen navarro has to do the importance of that though
13:12is if the fight were to be stopped it wouldn't be a technical knockout win for rios we would be going
13:17to the scorecards so that's why it's so important to know whether it was a headbutt or a punch that
13:23caused the cut i was just thinking you saying that i was saying well did the referee did he say he was
13:28a full punch or or from a butt they didn't but that's why the commission has been on the phone with
13:33our truck trying to assess whether ascertain whether it was a headbutt or a punch and they
13:39did now note it as a head clash so it would be a fight that would go to the scorecards were it to
13:45be stopped and you see again the heads come together here in round number four of a scheduled eight
13:49rounder we'd have to get to the end of this round for it to go to the scorecards nice double uppercut
13:56there on the left on the inside from rios high up on the inside right there but he's leaving the
14:00hand free you wanted more clinches but there's a hand free and rios is experience with that well the
14:05problem this see this is the thing you you got to go over under hooks you got to go over the top of
14:12the the forearm right and hook underneath to be able to tie him up you don't do it the right way then
14:18your opposition is going to find a way to swiggle out of that and he's going to use that hand that's
14:24free and rios understands that nice body work there and navado goes over the top with a three punch
14:32combination oh that was a great shot from rios as well another tie up here
14:38it's a tough fight for stephen navarro in the seventh pro fight oh absolutely good exchange
14:50no he's been looking to step up the competition you know he feels he's a bad man
14:56and this is the way you prove it by beating beating this type of competition right here but again
15:02if you're levels above the competition if you believe that you got to show it
15:06and right now it's looking real competitive right now can go either way
15:10nice combination from navarro punctuating it with it right now he's from the southpaw stance
15:16using angles to get away from rios and every fight shouldn't be looking like it's a war like
15:23like it's a championship fight right and i've been i've been noticing that but navarro has been finding
15:29a way to get rid of his this the tough competition tim he went two minutes and 50 seconds without bleeding
15:35what a great job basil has been doing there as rios lands from the outside basil's off the meat rack
15:42that's an old term off the meat rack yeah it's expensive now for me too so i think that term should
15:47come back right look at this young man straight out of a gq magazine emiliano el general fernando
15:54vargas walking into the same building where his father fernando el feroz vargas also applied his trade
16:01as a young man he said this has been a family trip my mom hasn't been back to new york since my father
16:07fought here my sister is happy to be here but for me this is a business trip put him on the hey the
16:13front of gq check him out man they said ryan garcia look good please look at this young man right here man
16:22his father said you know the irony of me having a pretty boy rernando vargas when he had to fight oscar
16:29delahoy he was calling him a pretty boy he's like god punished me and gave me a pretty boy but mine
16:33can throw down and that's funny because he can actually be the next golden boy he could be imagine
16:39that yeah so far as markability as far as punching you know he has that possessed that left foot
16:46as well that oscar possessed so that will be opening up our espn show at 9 p.m eastern here for the msg
16:55theater his body works there from rio so once again he's been persistent but navarro trying to
17:06keep him at bay you see rio's pace has slowed down a bit not a lot of snap on his shots anymore
17:13navarro now playing defense playing matador getting out of the way of shots nice little tie up right
17:18there along the ropes that's smart smart tactical work right there from him
17:25that was another head clash
17:29a lot of trying to use angles and rio says eat a left hook
17:40now it's all right bottle yeah he's using his physical strength too
17:43yeah that's great that's what you need to do you need to bring break the posture
17:47you can do that against rios break his posture and push him back
17:51again like push him up and bring those hips forward
17:54you put him in a compromised position and you can take advantage of it
18:03fifth round it was scheduled eight round bout it's been tough sledding since that
18:08that cut from a head clash in the opening round for navarro rio starting to slow down just a tad and
18:17how will navarro react can he take control here in the second half of this fight
18:21and seeing this is this is you being a fighter right and moving forward and leveling up you got
18:26to feel those moments where you know you the pressure you know the pressure's not coming on as
18:33strongly as it was you know and you feel like you want to rest but those are the moments where you've
18:37actually got to step on the gas it's like what rios is doing he's conserving he's going forward but
18:42he's conserving energy right now and he's waiting for a second win well guess what while he's waiting
18:48for that i'm gonna be putting some leather on your behind and right now it's the perfect time
18:55for navarro to take over this fight right now nice body flurry from navarro he turns
19:02rios and the quick shots there that was nice that's the pedigree and the adjustments he talks
19:09about what makes him different now let's see if he can put those punches together because rios is
19:14tough never been stopped in his professional career
19:21but he has been down twice has rios nice lead left from navarro just all you got to do is let those
19:29hands go man if you're going to have an opposition that's going to stand right in front of you guess
19:32what something eventually will land just like it did there you just let those hands go and he got lucky
19:40nice tie up right there
19:47mike bassel once again going to work on that cut that keeps getting a little bit bigger
19:52if something's been working for christopher rios it's the body shots but in order to connect those body
19:57shots you got to be close you got to be close and you got to come out wide and when you come out wide
20:03guess what you'll come up the middle absolutely another beautiful shot right there from navarro
20:12you know he's finding a home for that shot man excellent timing you know it's an underused i would
20:19say it's an underused punch in boxing you don't see a lot of fighters using uppercuts you know especially
20:23up the middle when they have their opposition that's kind of leaning tilting a little bit forward
20:27you know you feel vulnerable in spots but i'm gonna let y'all know man the uppercut can beat a left
20:33hook right it can beat a left hook absolutely and a lot a lot of fighters we just you feel exposed
20:40you know when you're throwing that uppercut if you throw it from the wrong distance guess what you
20:43can be timed to get knocked out except if you're emmanuel navarrete oh yeah i mean come on bro he's
20:49just not no it's here look yeah that he took that round off and now he come in bull rushing forward i
20:54told you now you see rios coming on even stronger now took that last round off eight minutes and
21:0420 seconds left in this fight scheduled for eight rounds bernardo osuna alongside the hall of famer
21:09timothy bradley navarro in a tough fight here against christopher rios 11 and two with seven
21:16knockouts navarro six and oh with five knockouts and rios taking every opportunity to connect any
21:24and everywhere i like that i i can't stand when fighters getting close and then they just get
21:28relaxed and stuff and careless no and when the fighters do that when i was fighting i'm like no
21:34i'm gonna make sure i'll tap you inside of your head do some sort of flick some sort of pain on you
21:37you're seeing rios do that on the inside just be physical on the inside again keeping them busy
21:49nice left there from rios
21:54nice right now from rios who has navarro pinned and navarro says let me just get out of this place
21:59because that's not where i need to be nice right and left hook and left uppercut there from navarro
22:06yeah navarro gonna have to learn how to get up he's gonna have to get on that jab man he gotta
22:09get a better he's got to develop a better jab a stronger jab man something a little bit with a
22:14little bit more authority you know to get some respect because he's gonna have this problem every
22:20time he fights a guy like like rios that comes forward that can take his punch he's gonna always
22:25struggle against guys that's gonna put that pressure on him so develop the jab
22:32there's that body work from rios navarro says i'm gonna shoeshine six seven punches and then go
22:44downstairs and dig deep got clipped with the right hand as he was getting ready to throw a wide right hook
22:54stop stop stop stop stop again they must have heard they must have heard me down here you know
22:59he's starting to tie he's starting to tie up rios in spots you know those are opportunities again
23:04to break the forward momentum and also buys you time to be able to rest a little bit take a little
23:09breather and then get back to work reset your feet and get back a nice lead right from navarro
23:16from the orthodox stance now he goes left he goes downstairs
23:20down here he goes down here in the last few rounds and rios needs to be consistent with that pressure
23:31once again he goes with that uppercut does navarro
23:37look at rios rios landing his own uppercuts on the inside
23:41and again taking advantage of those lows coming from navarro it's a tough fight man it's a tough fight
23:48last time we saw our headliner xander zayas he was in here against slava spomer theater msg and it
23:57was the left of the body and then this onslaught of punches that prompted the referee to step in
24:02and stop the punishment in the ninth round that was an impressive victory for xander zayas and he hopes
24:09to do it again tonight against forje garcia perez for the vacant wbo junior middleweight title this is
24:18his path to this belt included wins over the mayan sosa and the most experienced fighter on that
24:23resume former titleist patrick teixeira forje fortea and roberto valenzuela jr who was also a big test
24:31tim you have that sweet spot of 20 plus fights he's at 21 fights but in terms of rounds fought is he
24:38where you would like him to be with a hundred rounds fought yeah that's my benchmark right there 100 rounds
24:43if you've done 100 rounds that tells me that you ready for a championship absolutely and i believe
24:50he has so it's gonna be his 15th rounder it's gonna be a 15 rounder i believe as well so yes
24:56i believe he's ready for this moment man it couldn't be lined up any better than what it is right now
25:00he's had five ten rounds before this will be a six tenth rounder and look three fights ago he said i'm
25:05ready for a world title he had two more against salsa and spomer and i think like you mentioned it comes at
25:11the right time that's your sweet spot for a world title where you have the experience where you have
25:16the uh physical resistance and he says i've been sparring up to 15 rounds now and i feel ready to go
25:23and let's hope navarro sparred 10 12 rounds because rios is putting in some work there with that uppercut
25:30man yeah look rios is putting them working on those ribs too yep and you and you see how short
25:36armed navarro is and so when he goes up into that high guard his all his flank is exposed man his ribs
25:42are exposed i mean he's getting hit flush with these shots to the to the body nice left hook now as rios
25:49says enough digging downstairs here comes something overhead because i know you're worried about those
25:55body shots and now another right hand from rios look navarro's not as elusive as he is because of the
26:01body work from rios absolutely he invested in that early in the fight from from the start and that
26:07tells me right there he had a game plan going into this fight
26:13and he's executing it well right now will it be enough to get the nod on the judges score cards that
26:20remains to be seen but he is making navarro work make adjustments and those are good quick shots from
26:27navarro on the inside yeah when he that's oh that was mean body shot right there just stepped pivot
26:34on the angle and just mean left hand downstairs pick the punches up all right pick them up second
26:41warning for rios on low shots i think one of the coolest things is is that like we haven't been seeing
26:46the referee like crazily involved in this matchup and it's been a lot of punches being thrown right
26:53usually sometimes you can over officiate right let them fight and that's what you're seeing right
27:00here from murdoch with the back of the head an excellent official very authoritative there with his
27:08voice before he steps in lets him try to fight out of it when he sees that they're not doing so
27:12that's when he finally steps in and as long as and as long as you being a referee just like a judge
27:19just like a trainer just like a fighter as long as you are doing your homework and studying right
27:25and working on your craft that's all we ask just keep working on your craft just like these fighters

29:20Christopher Rios getting out hustle right now
29:23That's what's going on getting out hustle
29:26Navarro go out to put in some work right now Rios right now is controlling his tempo this fight right now
29:31He's landing some big shots. He's going downstairs. He's trying to continue to break him down even though it's his last this last round so
29:38Navarro better let some punches go
29:40Nice left hook there from Rios now looking good and look too busy defending not enough punching
29:50And look Tim at some point this style of fighter out of Mexico
29:55He's gonna come in and give you everything he's got and you got to get him off of you somehow
29:59Absolutely, and the only way to do that is again. You got a punch. You got to keep punching
30:07The only one who's punching right now is real
30:09I don't know what Navarro. I don't know what the ball is waiting on
30:14Got a minute and a half right now to get some get back
30:17And influence these judges and give him this last round because I believe he needs every dang round. Yeah, I think he needs this round two to win this fight
30:30I don't know how the judges are seeing it, but we're seeing a close fight
30:32But the judges are paying attention to body language to you know, yes
30:36They're looking at effective punches being land by both fighters. They're looking at your reaction
30:40But then with that being said body language. What are you doing right now?
30:44You know, you're not punching you're getting punched on you your back is against the ropes
30:50Who is showing the ring?
30:52Generalship is sometimes what matters most if there's not that many effective punches being landed, but you see how effective Rios has been with the body work early on
31:05There's a lot there's a lot to chew on after this fight if Navarro has his hand raised
31:10You know, he's definitely gonna have to go back to the drawing board. It's a really good test right here. Great matchmaking right here
31:16You know sometimes fighters they believe that they had a certain level
31:20They believe they want to be at the championship level already and then they get in a fight like this and they get realized like oh, man
31:26I still got a lot to learn
31:29Right now that's the case for Navarro
31:33Thanks left hand there from Navarro, but real says I want to close the show as well
31:38Meet me in the center of the ring and let's see what happens
31:48This was a fight out the bat hey man
31:51Telling you hey, you know what he does for a job, too
31:54What he's a dog groomer Christopher Rios he deals with mean nasty dogs that don't want to get their hair cut
32:00What dammit your dog too?
32:02He's a dog himself and he came out
32:04He showed it. Yes, he did man from a from the first round to the last round
32:10You know, I'm telling you Rios came out. He was hot and flaming
32:15Absolutely. I mean he was digging downstairs, you know attacking that body of Navarro Navarro
32:20Of course the slickster, you know has all the tricks of the trade has skill absolutely was landing beautiful uppercuts on the inside
32:27As Navarro will lean forward, you know, it was a very competitive back-and-forth fight, man
32:33I really enjoyed this fight tonight, you know
32:35I believe that both fighters learned something about themselves especially Navarro the up-and-coming the mother's the pugilist
32:41That's supposed to be at the world-class level. He feels he is
32:44However, rude waking it tonight man got a lot to work on however man look I'm gonna give it I'm gonna give it up for Rios
32:50He came to fight he didn't come to lay down
32:52And he put on a great performance tonight
32:55And I'm gonna get up for Navarro for actually space and it on his feet fighting back and doing what he needs to do
33:00I don't know who the hell won this fight man. It might be a draw. That's how good it was
33:04Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if it was in Navarro just eat it out
33:08That wouldn't surprise me and if real aggression was what the judge is like
33:12I wouldn't be surprised if he comes away with that upset victory already
33:15He's coming off of an upset win his last time out a majority decision against undefeated Daniel Chucky Barrera out at the Chumash Casino on February 21st
33:25So this has been a good year and those are confidence-building wins absolutely confident see again
33:30It's not it's not how you start right. It's how you finish right and a loss shouldn't define you, right?
33:36Maybe one or two losses that's fine
33:38But if you continue to believe in yourself continue to train to work hard prepare yourself for each battle
33:42Guess what you can do things like this and just fighting right to say if you don't win tonight just fighting like this
33:48Guess what he's gonna have another opportunity because that's what the that's what the promoters want
33:52They want you to come out and test their fighters and he can do that
33:55And he did that tonight two fighters out of Southern, California. We got L.A.'s
