Episode 46, whilst on the 8th floor of the Radisson Hotel, Glasgow, we're looking directly back at the Hydro Arena, but we've just gone from for Josh Taylor winning the IBF World title.
It's been a good night. It's been a good night. This is hardcore commitment. It's a 10 past 11 in the PM and recorded whilst we've got Billy Joe Saunders fighting my postman.
We've been done this in the morning, but we haven't. We're doing it straight after a fresh. We're looking over the skyline of Glasgow, the spirit of Trevor Slate over the front of the front of the street. Speaking of which, we saw a naughty scrap on the street.
Very naughty scrap on the window to see if he's still there. He went down horribly. He went down horribly. He's mis-dived on him to protect him.
Fair plate though. He got a naughty kick in the face. I hope he gets more soon. Is that a 10 in for me though?
There's a lot of people there wanting to think they're not going that last fight. Anyway, so let's start with Josh Taylor. The atmosphere was great tonight. It was.
It was. He's last few fights. The atmosphere is not always great for him. Perhaps because he's been in Edinburgh and the arena wasn't big enough.
This one in Glasgow tonight, the idea of the hydro arena was a cracking atmosphere. I suppose people were very conscious that it was one type of fight. His first one type of fight. We were talking earlier about Scotland's world champions and what they've had.
We saw what Kimby can in the show. Jim Watt and Ricky Burns. There's not tons and tons. Ingrid, we're lucky.
We've had a lot. The Scotland had loads. I think they're almost starved of the success in boxing up here. You can feel that because there were a lot of people around us.
One of them were genuinely nervous. I get stressed when they felt that Taylor was dancing too much and coasting a little bit. What do you think of the scorecards? 117, 109 and 115.
The judges love Josh Taylor. I wasn't even sure he won against Postol to be fair. I knew that's going to be at least one suspect card. We got that.
It's glad to get the canvas from the last set. I haven't seen that again yet. I haven't seen it again. I'm not seen it again.
I'm not seen it again. I'm not seen it again. I'm not seen it again. I'm not seen it again.
I'm not seen it again. You're not seen it again. That was a big deal. Mr.
terr hosting. and said that round seven, he didn't really look at any point. He was tough, he kept going, he kept throwing punches. I thought the only rounds were quite close.
You had to say you feel a little bit sick for your scorecards. Your scorecard is 114, 112 Taylor. Yeah, and to know what, I had a quick look on my timeline, on my personal timeline, not below the bells. And there was a couple of people that were close to mine, other writers and stuff, and so I felt like I can't feel my card to be honest.
I think, I'm not what you think, you think, what's up? People have been horrible to you online. I'm not seeing it a bit of a fan. I think I'm kind of an open-end chick within the first three.
Yeah. That's a good thing. Oh, OK, fine. Yeah, no, it's fine.
Yeah, I got some shit for the Fury Wilder card, I scored it, draw it, you know, it happened, you know. Some of us know the score fights and some of us know. I thought Josh Taylor, I think he looked quite nervous in the first couple of rounds. I partly understand why he did give it to him.
I thought it was the second round, he p-1, but I thought it was an element of nerves, but it's stiffness a little bit. Yeah. And Baranque is like, it's not always the tidiest. Why it wasn't me?
Yeah, and I think he was maybe just taking the first year of the figure out how to deal with that, and whilst putting on a bit of a show. He obviously wanted to do that. Yes. And with a part of the crowd like that, everything that he landed, everything he half landed, everything he nearly landed, was cheered to the absolute rafters.
Yeah. Yeah, I can imagine there was some pressure on it, but yeah, so he's gone on, he's won that title now. And he'll fight, he just broke it. Bro, he just broke it.
Is it pro-gray? Pro-gray, pro-gray. In the final, yeah. Who took a lot of stick tonight?
He took a bit of a flick. After a while, he came around to me and he realised he wasn't doing a pro-grone. He was actually being very respectful to the fans and to Josh Taylor himself. And when they had a face off having their boat in, he was kind of a young and a wind kind of stuff.
Yeah. But I've only seen pro-gray fight once or twice. I hope he wins. Yeah.
If it's not enough, I'll probably go. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I'd love to come back to see the final.
I think it'd be a shame if it was in Scotland in a way, because you went into the neutral venue. You don't really want it to be on Taylor's time to far. Yeah, logistically, it'd be great. I think the fun, I think, was it a use it for all the way all the way food in the room?
Yeah. Yeah. Pro-gray, look, great in his last performance. Yeah.
He's a real great player. He's a good fighter. He's a good fighter. And pro-gray just dominated him and got him out of there really early.
And this is good for the WBSS, because the whole thing about the WBSS is it's pushed to go best fighting the best and the cream rises and then they will eventually meet. In fact, this will be WBA, IBF, both linear titles. Yeah. It's a big deal.
And hopefully, you'd like to think with the fans and stuff that we've done earlier, like we said, we talked about when this might be maybe October sort of time. And that's good because obviously I haven't seen it happen last year with the delays to the finals and all the rest of it. They would have lost money. Because we want this to keep going, that would be WBSS.
We want it to be needed to be financially viable for it to keep going. Because it's a good fight. I mean, this is our third or fourth. We've done that.
It's always done that. It's always done that. It's always done that. It's always done that.
It's always done that. It's always done that. I think we've done that many. I saw Abraham Ubank, but that was like a qualifier.
That wasn't really WBSS. I think in the one 40 division, everyone took it up. So you got a mama soccer. It's massive, as well.
I think there's a guy called the Mira. I think I was a number of not. So not everyone, it wasn't a big take-up. It wasn't a cruise away.
We've got Bantamweight. We're all the best winning. So there's bigger fights for whoever wins that was before we were going to take it off to the WBSS. Yeah, brilliant.
The monster. Oh, man. The main reason why we're here was for a new A, really. So it was exciting to watch him come out.
It was just exciting to see him. You were like properly gassed. You were genuinely on your tiptoes. Yeah, I really did.
It's not really fighting that meant you feel like that. Yeah, I think it's because this is a Palfour Palphire. This is like a Palfour Palphour top fire. You can't be a Japan.
You know, top Japanese fighters really leave the country or let them in a continent and come to up the road from us. I was gassed. I was like, oh, my god, it's a new way. And every little thing he did made me pop.
It was just a little shake in the face. It's like, what the hell? Yes, it's a new way. It was an amazing thing.
So anyway, stop for a reek as we've a massive left hook followed up with them two big body shots and was ridiculously impressive and his new Iber and Ring magazine champion. So anyway, it was incredible. What did you expect it to be? What's the word?
Just dominant. Yeah, and make such a point of it. Well, in the first round, I thought Rodriguez was going to go some rounds. I thought he was holding his shots fairly well, he was giving away problems, he was cutting off the ring, his feet were good.
I thought it was really going to last. And I thought, maybe this is something that can take his second round up. And before the fight, you really build up in your head how it's going to be. I think I hope he goes around to see him properly.
But when you got rid of him from the second round, I thought, I'm really glad I've seen this. And he just said, I'm going to top people out of the sea. I'm seeing this guy. I think I'll find a new up again.
Yeah, I wouldn't have seen him. I think I'll find a new up again. I suspect I'll find a new down there. Don't know what the hashtag last Vegas might be there.
Would it go on? If it was in Japan, I could be easily talked into it. That's a bucket list of Japan. One thing I will say is that you would like to think of it as the poppy guy out here tonight.
It was a great crowd in there tonight. It was a real proper bopping crowd that had followed. So many people were genuinely excited to see a Japanese mountain weight. It was not unbelievable.
I don't even think you'd get that reaction in London. I don't think so. Places like Glasgow and Belfast and Manchester, a lot of the time they're boxing people. They get it.
Even the people who could hear the people sat behind us tonight during the Tainer fight. Even though you said every shot was getting cheetered, they knew when Taylor was in trouble. And they knew that when they knew he was in there watching a great fire. It was really nice to be in that crowd tonight.
It really was fantastic. Now the final of him in the Nia Gneo looks revitalised. It does look like a bad song. How nice is Nia Gneoos.
He was in a gym, wasn't he yesterday? I think he was signing all the stuff yesterday. He is a lovely man. He always comes across great.
Mark was telling the story on a couple of broadcasts ago about how he bought him beer and stuff. He was so lovely to him. It's going to be fantastic. It's a small caveat to the latest Bantamweight run.
He'd be on an injury and then he'd be in late substitute in the last five by knockout. It was a devastating knockout. So this will be a true test for Deneh again going into Nueh. That's going to be the real world test for him.
We don't think he's going to pass that test. No. I think a new way could knock out a middleweight. He just, his power is ridiculous.
Like he said, Rodriguez did fantastic. I go on fantastic. He did okay in the first round. He's jab was good.
He was good. Like he said he was kind of cutting the ring off quite well. He actually boxed quite well. But as soon as Nueh started to find his range and start to find his shots, then we'd never even run.
We did say, and we were talking at the end of that first round. I said if Rodriguez keeps reaching with that overhand right, he's just trying to clip him. He's not thrown it with a massive conviction. If he keeps over reaching that, he's going to get absolutely banged with that left hook.
That's how you happen. It's a very way when you can see stuff. It's when you're watching fights. You can see when weather is shot in there.
But it's very ever been the fight you can pull it off. It's all going to go away knowing what it is and where the opportunity is. But actually putting it off and stopping it off. And the pain on his face.
Oh my God. They're playing the replays and the pain on Rodriguez's face. Yeah, I watch that. We're just watching, uh, uh.
I don't know. Oh, okay. We're just watching. We're just seeing videos on his win.
Some sort of hell. It's not. Videos on just one of the vacant WBO. Yeah.
Super middleweight title. I don't think I'll get the fight with Kevin Smith. So the last one I've been there. I'll talk about it all the time.
I'll talk about it all the time. But at least there's options now. It's quite good that he gets that belt because there is some fights we made now. Yeah.
Yeah. It's clear it's a so-stop start. It's just a little bit of a... Anyway, so we think that the Naira and Inoue might be Vegas.
We think maybe October, November or something. Something like that. Yeah. When we think of Taylor Prograte's going to be.
Can you America? Just like, I don't know how big the FOB is over there. Is the zone has got this? Yeah, they've got this.
Yeah, they've got this and Skya got it as well. Yeah. So they've got the WBS. And then there's the other screws going on as well.
That'll probably land in Europe, the final of that. But yeah, I think these two. I think they might land in America. Yeah.
Overall tonight's been good. I've not been to Glasgow before. I've really enjoyed it. I come back here again.
Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it was a right fight. And if there's some sort of good fight or one or good on the card or whatever, yeah, absolutely.
I come back and like, detail it for Prograte, Taylor. Manage is the land here. Absolutely. Two good fights at the top.
Two fights that were genuinely going to be interesting and we knew that it would be good and obviously go to the Inoue. But the fight wasn't bad. That was the right. It was about all about him.
I forgot about him. I forgot about him. I forgot he got trained by a joke. It was a tiny butt.
I saw a joke alligator getting the ring. I was like, what's he doing? I put him in the dinner seat. Pulled out of one of a body shot in a sick round.
But it was tough as well. It was a good shake. It was a good shake. It was a good shake.
He's a good round. It was a good shake. It was a good shake for 14 and 8. He looked in better shape than that record would suggest.
All right, we'll wrap it up. But yeah, fantastic night. Two great fights. We've seen something very special tonight, which I don't think any of us will forget in a hurry.
Very special. We will try and do it one next week as well. What, Larry Holmes? Was he 47 or no?
No, 48 or no? Then sphinck's done. Look at two. Smashing out his brain man little brain.
What's up with the office? What's up with the office? Do I have to ask you? What were you talking last week about?
It was a esky. What did you do? It was a funny thing. Yeah.
We talked about Larry Holmes. You were definitely 47. All right, we'll catch you again next time. Ciao.
