    The Stand Up Guys # 43: The Entourage

    🎙️ The Stand Up Guys – Episode 43 After taking a week off, we had plenty to catch up on... but first, an important question: England or Mexico? 🌎⚽ Once the World Cup banter settles down, we dive into everything we missed while we were away, including Oleksandr Usyk vacating the heavyweight titles, the latest Zuffa Boxing developments, Joshua vs. Fury rumors, and several of the biggest stories shaping the sport. That naturally leads us back to Floyd Mayweather. Rather than asking whether Floyd is "broke," we take a closer look at the increasingly complicated public picture surrounding his business dealings before expanding the conversation into a broader discussion about entourages. Who are the people every great fighter needs around them? Which legendary teams helped build champions? And what happens when those voices disappear? Inside the ring, we review a spectacular Jaron "Boots" Ennis vs. Xander Zayas title fight. Boots looked sensational early, weathered a dramatic momentum swing, and ultimately reminded everyone why he's one of boxing's elite. We also can't stop talking about Daniel Rodriguez, whose calm, technical brilliance and perfectly set-up head-kick knockout at RWS 200 further convinced us he's one of the most exciting rising stars in kickboxing today. 🥊 Episode Includes: While We Were Away Oleksandr Usyk vacates the heavyweight titlesDana White / Zuffa BoxingJoshua vs. Fury rumorsTurki Alalshikh updatesAdditional boxing headlinesDiscussion Floyd Mayweather's latest headlinesThe importance of entourages in combat sportsFight Reviews Jaron "Boots" Ennis vs. Xander ZayasLiam Paro vs. Lewis CrockerDaniel Rodriguez vs. Angel Bauza (RWS 200)Oscar Collazo vs. Neider ValdezONE Championship ONE Friday Fights 158ONE Friday Fights 160ONE Fight Night 44Inner Circle Asadula Imangazaliev vs. Aslamjon OrtikovAllycia Hellen Rodrigues vs. Phetjeeja A catch-up episode that turned into a conversation about championship teams, rising stars, and why the people around a fighter can be just as important as the fighter inside the ring.

    The Stand Up Guys #42

    🎙️ The Stand Up Guys – Episode 42 Every combat sports fan has a pound-for-pound list. We decided to build ours. On this episode of The Stand Up Guys, we unveil our Mid-Year Pound-for-Pound Rankings, debate the biggest omissions, and explain the philosophy behind how we evaluate fighters. Who belongs? Who doesn't? How much should activity matter? Resume? Eye test? We try to sort it all out. From there, we shift gears and offer some advice for young fighters: If you were starting your career today, who would you sign with? We break down the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and risks associated with boxing's major promoters, from Matchroom and Top Rank to Golden Boy, MVP, and Zuffa. We also take a look at the never-ending stream of pad work and comeback videos, discussing what training footage can actually tell us—and what it absolutely cannot. On the fight side, we review K-1 Revenge from the legendary Korakuen Hall, one of the true shrines of combat sports. The venue may only hold a couple thousand people, but it continues to prove that atmosphere and history matter more than capacity. We also revisit the unofficial rule of the night: bet on the red corner. 🥊 Episode Includes: Mid-Year Pound-for-Pound Rankings Top 10 countdownBiggest omissionsRanking philosophyCurrent state of boxing's eliteWho Would You Sign With?

    Kash The Flash Interview (Audio Only)

    🎙️ We Can’t Believe This Guy Listens to Our Podcast When we first reached out to Kash “The Flash” Gill, we thought we’d be conducting an interview. What we ended up having was a conversation. Over the course of this episode, we got the chance to know a man whose accomplishments in kickboxing speak for themselves: a four-time World Champion, Hall of Fame inductee, community leader, and lifelong martial artist. But more than that, we got to spend time with someone who is thoughtful, funny, generous with his stories, and genuinely passionate about helping others. We talk about fighting, coaching, life after competition, the martial arts community, lessons learned over a lifetime in combat sports, and plenty of topics that have nothing to do with titles or trophies. Most importantly, Kash isn’t just a guest. He’s a listener. Which remains completely baffling to us. As the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear why Kash has been successful both inside and outside the ring. He carries the discussion effortlessly, shares stories from across his career, offers advice and perspective, and even manages to keep us laughing along the way. This wasn’t an interview. It was a chat. And we’re grateful Kash was willing to have it with us. 🥊 Kash “The Flash” Gill 🥊 Four-Time World Kickboxing Champion 🥊 Coach • Mentor • Community Leader A huge thank you to Kash for joining us and for being such a great ambassador for martial arts and combat sports. ⸻ No hot takes. Just honest conversation. 🥊⚡️

    The Stand Up Guys #41 #Team Big Daddy Kane

    On this episode of The Stand Up Guys, we start somewhere completely outside of boxing. After rapper Max B took a shot at Big Daddy Kane, we felt obligated to make our position clear: Team BDK. Always. That conversation somehow leads us into a discussion of famous Brooklyn fighters before we eventually find our way back to boxing. From there, we head to the SAP Center for what felt like a genuine coming-out party for Amari Jones. Thanks to the California State Athletic Commission and Commissioner Ron Fiore, we were able to experience the event ringside as Jones dominated former world champion Vincenzo Gualtieri and continued building his case as one of the most intriguing young fighters in the middleweight division. We also discuss what the performance means for the current middleweight landscape and the reaction from Bay Area fight fans. We also break down the controversial finish in Oleksandr Usyk vs Rico Verhoeven, including the bell controversy and the broader Giza card, before turning our attention to the latest boxing news and industry chaos. Against our will, we then turn our attention to Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta "Tank" Davis. From lawsuits and financial allegations to exhibition uncertainty and legal trouble, both stories continue to evolve in ways that are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Episode Includes: 🥊 Amari Jones vs Vincenzo Gualtieri Ringside experience at the SAP CenterBay Area reactionCurrent middleweight landscape🥊 Usyk vs Verhoeven Controversial stoppageMark Lyson bell controversy🥊 Giza Card Frank Sanchez vs Richie Torrez Jr.Jack Catterall vs Shakhram GiyasovHamzah Sheeraz vs Alem Begic💰 Mayweather & Tank Tyson exhibition uncertaintyPacquiao / Netflix conflict$175 million lawsuitFinancial allegations and ongoing questionsTank vs SchofieldLegal and probation developments⚡ Quick Hitters Garcia vs BennOpetaia vs Benavidez discussionsFury exhibition rumorsAdditional boxing news📋 Reviews O'Shaquie Foster vs Raymond FordDmitry Bivol vs Michael Eifert Podcast Links Amari Jones vs Vincenzo Gualtieri https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhS0GkRC6Xk Oleksandr Usyk vs Rico Verhoeven (Highlights)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO7kdBPbnME Frank Sanchez vs Richie Torrez Jr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSvimDZy6bA Jack Catterall vs Shakhram Giyasov (Highlights) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Aws6unFsDY Hamzah Sheeraz vs Alem Begic  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_iHomLvoX0 O’Shaquie Foster vs Raymond Ford (Highlights) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNdrWYmSHLY Dmitry Bivol vs Michael Eifert (Highlights) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihCPyZiQot8 Nuenglanlek vs Kirill Khomutov https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy1DBVvPpqY One Friday Fights 155 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhfC-oQOjUg Zlatan Ibrahimovic's famous 30-yard bicycle kick vs England https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM_5tJncHww

    The Stand Up Guys #40: Now With Graphics!!!

    On this episode of The Stand Up Guys, we open with what may already be our Fight of the Year — the absolute heavyweight chaos of Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley. An all-time kind of fight, the kind that reminds you exactly why boxing still matters. From there, we get into the bigger theme of the episode: accessibility — and why it’s still strangely difficult to simply watch boxing in the United States compared to much of the rest of the world. That conversation naturally leads into a six-month Zuffa Boxing check-in, where we look at what’s working, what isn’t, and whether their approach to presentation, distribution, and visibility is exposing deeper problems within the sport. We also had a technical glitch during recording… which we’ve decided means Zuffa and Paramount+ tried to stop us from telling the truth. For those watching on YouTube, we’ve also upgraded the show with new graphics and visual updates. Episode includes: • Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley• Accessibility and the American boxing viewing experience• Zuffa Boxing — six month deep dive / check-in• Broadcast fragmentation and streaming issues• Technical failures, conspiracy theories, and general boxing chaos A big episode about great fights, bad systems, and why combat sports can still feel easier to find halfway across the world than at your local sports bar. No hot takes. Just honest conversation.

    The Stand Up Guys #39

    On this episode, we start with what turned into a massive day for boxing — from Naoya Inoue vs Junto Nakatani early in the morning to David Benavidez vs Zurdo Ramirez later that night — with Rodtang vs Takeru II kicking off a huge week for Japan. We spend a full opening block breaking down all three fights and what they mean. From there, we get into a tale of two promotions. After going in ready to give GLORY another chance, it completely wiped out any remaining goodwill. Then RWS immediately flips the mood back, delivering exactly what we’re looking for — clean finishes, clarity, and fights that make sense the second you see them. We also take a deeper look at the current Mayweather situation, using it as a jumping-off point to talk about money, taxes, and why cash doesn’t work the way people think it does anymore. And of course, we check in on Adrien Broner, who may be the first fighter to fully document his own post-career collapse in real time. We’d also like to acknowledge the passing of Pat Benson, a legendary boxing trainer who impacted so many lives… Episode includes: • Inoue vs Nakatani• Benavidez vs Zurdo• Rodtang vs Takeru II Kickboxing & Muay Thai: • GLORY — Lost Me• RWS (Kaensak KO, Petchmorakot stoppage)• ONE Samurai Discussion & News: • Mayweather / taxes / cash reality• Media amplification and how stories become “real”• Adrien Broner situation• Canelo vs Mbilli• KO of the Year• Joshua vs Prenga (July 25)• Fury vs Joshua (target)• Eddie Hearn / Garcia vs Benn• Event spectacle Preview: • Dubois vs Wardley A full, global episode — big fights, strong opinions, and a look at where the sport actually is right now.
