Speaker 1 (00:01):
You are now listening to you Rings Kings Boxing World
flash repoard. All right, big qu in the building for
this episode of Ring Kings Boxing. Now hit the light button.
Let's be joining them. Hey man, let's talk about this
one man. This is the tank in Jake Paul fight. Now,
this fight has already been talked about at nauseum. A
lot of people have given their responses about it. Me personally,
(00:22):
I think it's a stupid fight. I think it's ridiculous.
But this is what it's boxing has come to. When
guys no disrespect that Jake Paul are not professional boxes.
There YouTube boxing would control the script fighters fights. If
that's what real fighters got to do to fight nine
pro fighters to get a payday. Man, the sport is
really taking a tumble. If you ask me, this fight
(00:45):
makes no sense. This guy looks like he I mean,
Javonte Tank Davis. It is ridiculous. You know, it's a
ridiculous fight. That's why the fights were set up with
weight classes to prevent this sort of thing. Even though
some of these fighters spar with these guys in the ring,
that's something different than you actually seeing this type of
thing take place. It's almost as silly as the fight
(01:08):
that Mike Tyson ha what Mayweather. If Mayweather really wants
to fight somebody close to him to prove his greatness,
go fight Terrence Crawford and make it count. Stop doing
the exhibition, Go fight Terrence Crawtor. But we'll cover that
on another episode of Ring Kings Boxing. But what's interesting, man,
is that this fight here as Tank Davis and Jake Paul,
and the rationale for doing the Jake Paul fight was
(01:30):
what kelvin Ford said that Roach was a nobody. He
defends Davante taking Davis, skipping the rematch for a forty
million dollar exhibition fight with Jake Paul and some people
me personally, I love the sport man, But to me,
I can understand a guy trying to get his paper.
But man, just get a belts up and go do
(01:51):
what you want to do. Man, if you feel like
boxing is boring and all that, they always talk this
stuff about boxing been boring, but don't want to turn
in none of the stuff that they got the belts,
none of this kind of turn it in and go
buy go fight exhibition. But I think this is not
a good thing. I ain't no due disrespect Jake Paul.
I just think anytime you're a real fighter and you're
fighting YouTube fighters, I think the games went to a place.
(02:14):
It's in that sunken place. A damn game is in
a sunken place when we're doing this sort of thing.
But anyway, forty million over Legacy Davis has got a
big fisher to big fish to fry with a forty
million doll exhibition fight against Jake Paul middle November of
this year in Miami, flayd. That's money. Tank wouldn't get
fighting Roach, who isn't a big name and would be
(02:35):
hitching his ride or his cotail to a second time
if he blessed him with the rematch. Tank made him
famous as Kelvin forda tank. Everybody he fights, he makes famous.
Roach was a nobody before he fought him. He was
a world champion. Kelvin fight. Now, listen, I'm gonna play
this interview by Kelvin Ford. I got all the respect
in the world for Kelvin Ford. But you're doing a
little cappin bro at some point, Javonte Tank Davis was
(02:59):
not a well known commodity. You know, he was a
guy that was good when he was a lot younger,
but over time he started gaining a name for himself.
Even though he had some really good openings later on,
he wasn't a super famous fighter now I kept him
Kelvin Roach. May excuse me, Lamont Roach being a nobody
has nothing to do with how he fought Tank Davis.
(03:19):
To nobody handled Tank Davis like that don't make any sense.
But I anticipate Calvin doing this sort of thing because
he's gonna get paid, so he's going to acquiesce to
whatever Tank Davis tells him to do. But Lamont Roach
is a fighter who fought a really good fight and
a nobody really beat him. He actually really won that fight.
My estimation him talking about he had some crap in
(03:40):
his eyes. That was a bunch of bs. But in
the end, if you if he handled business the correct way,
then wanted to go take take care J Paul. That's
one thing. The way he lost that the way he
won the fight, whatever the way to fight happened, I
think it was a draw. The way to fight happened.
At the end of the day, it required he should
have came back and rectified the wrong. His mentality of
(04:00):
not wanting to get back in the ring and show
Lamont Roach what time it is. Was curious to me.
But instead I'm going to fight this guy for forty
million dollars and whatever else in the hell to If
you don't like it, I just think it was a
a It's a poor look for people. But let me
put on Kelvin Ford. This is what Kelvin Ford had
to say talking about lamon'sa Roach is a nobody. Lamarck
Roach is not a well known fighter. He isn't. But
(04:22):
look how he handled Tank Davis's ass in that fight.
What you got to say about that, Kelvin First of
allmost man, it's just it's you're going to fight Jake
Paul in his venue. You're not going He's not coming
to you if you're coming. If you're going to him
to get money, it's his rules. It's his damn rules.
If you don't like that, bring him over into the
boxing world. See that's the thing. You can't make all
(04:43):
these things. If he don't want to fight, then go
ahead on about your business and go fight real fighters.
This man got his set up where he has he
has a set up where he has his own little
boxing situation. It's very successful. He's making more money than
some of these pro fighters. Is he has, he's he
he's handling his business. So whatever he says goals. You're
not even getting forty million dollar paydays for one fight,
(05:06):
you know anyway, And most of the times, a lot
of you're not gonna make forty million dollars a fight.
You know you're not. Sometimes it's not about the money
you're gonna get paid. You gonna get paid less. I mean,
he gets paid less for fighting Lamont Roach. But La
Malamont Roach is a real fighter. He's a real fighter.
And I mean, how many fights have Tank Davis had
over the years. How much fucking money does he need?
I mean, well, I mean this is this is the thing.
You can't make all of these demands of Jake Paul
(05:28):
and you're going into his arena to fight his fight,
his way, his rules. That's how it goes. So and
then Kelvin, I hear what Kelvin said, Yeah, and then
he gets into talking about Lama being a nobody in
all this. But weren't they all nobodies at one point?
Weren't including you, Kelvin? You wasn't I mean in the
fight game, maybe when you were in the street when
you came out of the jail, you kind of did
(05:48):
your thing. But at some point that weren't we all nobodies.
I mean, so, not to disparage the man, but in
the end, I just I think it's a it's a
I think it's foolish. I think it's a fool I
think it's very foolish to do this type of stuff.
But if you want to fight him for forty million,
it's going to be his way and only his way.
So all this other stuff is simply what it is.
(06:08):
And let's finish up what Kelvin was talking about here
when he mentioned till he urged Lamont Roach to make
his own way, and Lamont Roach is he's fighting pitt
Bull Bull Cruise, who also took Javonte Davis to the wire.
You know, So you have both of these fighters that's
pushing for the wire and they're supposed to fight December
to six, and I'm expecting that to be a good fight.
Lamont Roach versus Isaac pit Bull Cruise. Understandable, Javonti Davis
(06:32):
isn't interested in fighting Roach again. It's a risky fight
that won't bring in the kind of money he can
get fighting these other guys. But Jake Paul is not
a real fighter. No disrespect for Jake Paul, but you
got to Paul up here with Shakar Stevenson's tor Femal Lopez,
Ryan Garcia and Devin the Dream Hainey, he's not Jake
Paul is not a real He's not a professional fighter.
(06:52):
He's a YouTube fighter, you know, with his own rules,
his own ways of doing things. Now, he fought some
fighters that was over the hill. But if you if
Jake Paul leaves to day and goes into pro boxing,
which he won't do because he's not gonna make that
type of money, it's gonna it. Just it just you know,
I don't think like we talked about some time ago,
Tank said that he had a certain amount of fighters
(07:13):
that he was gonna fight before he retire. Shakill Stevenson
was on that list. Devin Haney was supposed to be
on that list. You guys, let me know what you
think about it. At the end, I just think it's
a bunch of hardship of find it watching Tank Davis
fight Jake Paul, and you know, and you know that
shit ain't real. I mean anyway, it's just It's just
it's just a joke, man. Boxing has gotten to a
(07:34):
place whereas as an absolute joke, man, where an exhibition
fights mean more than the real fights, when the fake
is real and the realest fake. How about that? That's
what the fuck we is right now in the boxing world.
Y'all put y'all comments in the section below, and I
understand people got to get paid, man, but at some
point shouldn't the sport be over boxing eight Well, aren't
we supposed to be boxing having the fights that we
(07:55):
wants to see. Nobody wants to see Tank Davis fight
Jake Paul. It's a stupid ass fight. It doesn't make
any sense to me anyway. With that being said, I'm
gonna get on the body. I appreciate y'all. I mighta
holler at you on the next one piece I'm on.
