The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
Yeah, well, thanks for having me on, you guys. But yeah, the energy level is still at its high point right now. Getting a little bit of sleep, answering a lot of questions like this, doing interviews, and it's been phenomenal. But I'll take it all in stride because it was such a historical event, such a historical moment that will never, never be duplicated.

Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
But the high probability of working Mike Tyson's last fight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
uh to me that was uh kind of like a feather on my cat man so it doesn't get much better than that yes it does it was a crappy fight yeah well regard that you know forget the fights i i don't look at that i look at the events right and then you're looking at a 50 year old man with a to a 27 year old uh young man so you are going to see discrepancies in that so yeah it was more entertainment than it was uh a victory value at any point did you feel bad for mike
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
Well, you know, I knew that he started slowing down like the start of the third round. You know, I told Amir Abdallah, I said, it looked like he had hit a wall, you know, and people were talking about his leg and all that. And, you know, I'm focused on his face, so I'm not looking from here down. But in the dressing room and all that, he seemed fine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
Yeah, I think the conditioning factor, you know, if you've got a 58-year-old man, so the conditioning factor, I think, was the overall discrepancy in this whole event. But I saw him train. I saw Mike train, and I've known him over 25 years. We just trained the same gym, so I knew his intensity type of training. And the days I was in the gym, I saw that. And I saw his sparring, and I saw that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
But, you know... I think, you know, the excitement, the adrenaline and everything, and then going into a fight and then, you know, going in combat with another one will drain you right off the bat. And I think that's what happened there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
yeah a hundred percent yeah you know jake paul is as you as i break down the events or fighters and all that there's a b c and d you know uh jay paul's a good b fighter and he's a good athlete and uh and the reason i know that could like say i've done like three events with about four i think four or five all together in the same programs but they were wrestlers and when i had a school of kickboxing guys that were wrestlers that came into kickboxing made a good transition because

Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
They're athletes, right? But Canelo's a horse of a different color, bro. Now you're chewing a little bit more off than your ego is letting you do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
Well, you know, I saw Mike walk around, of course, you know, bare ass. And I was going to take a picture, you know, but I said, nah, you know, that's a little too personal. And then I see it on social media, and I don't know who put it out there. But, yeah, that was Mike at his finest point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, he just finished putting his cup on and walking around. And, yeah, just kind of learned to accept Mike Tyson as – as Mike Tyson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
No, not at all. Not at all. Mike's doing his thing. Yeah, I wasn't orchestrated for that at all. That'd be embarrassing to Mike, I'm sure. I'm sure he got embarrassed. I'm sure his family got embarrassed. No, he looks great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
I don't see that as being fabricated at all. Jake Paul would never. Yeah. Oh, Jake Paul. Hey, man, you know, I'm new in this social media stuff. So, you know, you guys might have something, but I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
Yeah, those are sparring gloves. Just to see the eight two-minute rounds to me was a surprise, but I understand. This was not to see who's the best gladiator in the world. It's to see how much attention you're going to draw to this type of fight. I think it worked out for everybody. Yes, it did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
The first time I've been in a fight in a...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
Without rules, just the whole at the same age level? No, no, as it was. As it was, yeah. As it were, they're prime. Mike's prime.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
There's an old saying. In an alley. There's an old saying in this sport where you can beat anything, but you can't beat time. So hopefully that answers that question, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
Well, yeah, I don't really consider it a boxing match, but it's the most entertaining one for sure. Okay, no, but not what I asked you. No, no, that's fine. Yeah, you know what? I think as the fight's going on and I hear people booing out there and I say, well, you know, they're going to have to pick it up a little bit, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
But I expected a toe-to-toe fight for as long as it lasted, to be honest with you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
So I'm trying to give you the kind of answer to stroke you, so I go to the next one. Wow, baby. You guys want to play the game? Let's play the game, man. Come on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
Yeah, but you know what? And when you look deep into what goes on, when guys are making contact, it's a hit sport, it's a hurt sport. Whatever the result's going to be, you've got to give those guys credit for just being in there taking a shot. Respect to them both. It was a shitty fight, I agree. I'm not going to expect it more, a lot more, but in a sense, it was good for the entertainment value.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
I would probably say the probability is almost 100%. I think reality will kick in that you can beat anything, but you can't beat time. So, yeah, I think he'll do fine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
No, thank you, guys. I'm going to go back to sleep now because it's an early call for me. So thanks for being on, guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
Oh, beautiful. Well, since I was 12 years old, like Pedro. Oh, wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: 5 Or Seconds Too Much
Yeah, and you know, it's funny. In the other computer game, they had me without my glasses. And I said, well, you know, my mustache, my glasses, and my hair are my profile. So I'm trying to get it back.
