Shannon Sharpe & Shakur Stevenson get PERSONAL in Nightcap's biggest CRASHOUT of all time

Hey guys, it's your favorite Unc here.Go ahead and click that subscribe button below so you don't miss a single episode of Nightcap.That button, right here.Come for the sports, stay for the stories.Comes off a dominant, unanimous decision victory over Tiafimo Lopez in the super lightweight title fight sold out Madison Square Garden in January.Earned him a world championship in his fourth weight class, further cemented his place among boxing pound for pound elite, here he is, Shakur Stephens.

Shakur, how you doing, bro?You're muted.You're muted.You hear me?Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.We got you.

How you doing, bro?What up?Give us the good news.What transposal is reported that you're joining Zuffa Boxing?Explain to our people in the chat and our listeners and our viewers what Zuffa, what is that and what's your role in it now?

Zuffa is a company that's ran by Dana White and Nick Kahn.Nick Kahn does the WWE, but he's now with Zuffa and Dana White is with UFC, but he's now entering boxing, too.So it's an amazing company.I mean, I'm the leader of the company.I'm the next, the biggest name with the company.And now that I'm here, it's like, shit, they got the best of the best with them.

So shit, it's all good now.

What was your decision?What went in your decision?Because like you said, it is a new company and here you are, you got a championship in four different weight classes.Like you said, you are the biggest name.Normally, a people that with big names, they're like, okay, let me wait.Let me see how this thing shake out.

Let me let me get all the kinks out.And then once I see it's flourishing, I'll go over there then.Why were you so willing to put your name in the situation with a very, very young company?

I mean, first priority is I love to give back.I love getting money.So, at the end of the day, a lot of people said I wouldn't be in this position.They said I was boring.They said my style is this, but now that we here, I could sit here and tell y 'all I told y 'all so.But other than that, but other than that, also I want the big fights and they got a big vision for me.

And their big vision was put me in a ring with the big guys like the Devin Haines, the Javante, Tank Davis.And that's the shit that I live for.That's the shit that I'm in boxing for.And I can't wait to show my worth.

And listen, I'm glad you said that.I'm glad you called out two names, obviously Tank Davis.Devin Haney, but the problem is, and one for me being a boxing purist and loving the sport, loving you as one of my favorite fighters and being able to watch, now that I know exactly what I'm watching, being able to critique and analyze you round by round, what is so difficult about making these fights happen?Why is it so difficult for, obviously we know Tank is having his issues, but Devin Haney, I see you and him sometimes go back and forth on X most of the time.Why is it so difficult?Is it too many moving parts?

Is the money not right?What's taking so long?for us as fans?

I don't think nothing is taking so long no more.I think right now is the right time.I think everything is in the cards of our favor and there's no excuses for why that fight can't happen next.I think me and Devin should be the fight that happen next.I agreed to 144 and he said he agreed to it.So now if he do his part, I'm going to do my part and let's make it happen.

Why the catch weight, though, Shaquille?Why the catch weight?Why not 40?I don't know if he can go back down to 35, but why 44?Why not 40 or 47?

40, I would be bringing him down and draining him, and then we would have excuses about...you feel me?And then at 147, he's, I'm not a 47 pound, I'm a 35 pounder naturally.Like I can still make 35 easily, but I'm willing to take risks.Like I don't give a fuck that he's going to get in the ring 20 pounds bigger.I'm going to beat him while he's 20 pounds bigger.

And that's going to make my win even greater.So, He agreed to 144, I agreed to it, and now we're here, let's do it.

And matter of fact, and also, if this doesn't happen right, as soon, I'm not sure how long of a layoff you would like, how many times you want to actually fight this year.If Devin Haney and his pops and his team take too long, is there anyone else in mind that you would love to fight before the end of the year?

Yeah, I like the fighters like the Gary Russells and the Lamont Roaches.Honestly, speaking, I'm at a point in my career that I don't need nobody.I don't need Devin Haney, I don't need Javante Tank Davis.I can make millions and millions of dollars now with Zufa Boxing and fight big names like Gary Antoine Russell and Lamar Rose.I'm into the sport for this reason that now I'm a top dog now.So it feels good.

I like that.So you are the A -side now.Obviously, the game is, it's called prize fighting.And now you're in a position where you're able to be the shot caller and pick and choose who you want to fight.And, man, hell, I tell you, I'm excited.I'm excited for you.

Congratulations.And I'm looking forward to whether it's Gary, whether it's Tank somewhere down the line, or Devin Haney.I hope it happened before the year is out.

Hey, hey, hey, Shakur, what's up, bro?I see you shining over there, ain't you, man?Yeah, yeah.Take me to fight night, bro.Take me to fight night.What goes through your mind?

Like the anxiety, you know, before you go out in the ring, what you telling yourself?You know, before, when you taking that walk to the ring, what is it like?What's going through your head?

Shit, I ain't gonna lie.My last few fights, it felt like destiny.I ain't really had too much anxiety.I wasn't too nervous.It felt like I was meant to be where I was supposed to be, and I let destiny take care of itself.So, shit, I turned into a different mode come fight night.

Like, shit, I know it's either me or that guy.And you could watch my face before the fight.You see my face, go look at T .O.'s face.You just see my face.who was going to win and who was going to lose.

It was all written right over us.Man, I'm the best in the world and I can't wait to show why I'm the best in the world.Under them bright lights, any of these guys get in front of me, I'm coming to perform.

Let me ask you this.By you joining Zuffa, does it make it more difficult?Because people are going to say now, well, their side is going to say, well, we want this.And your side is going to say, no, you can't have that because we got the A fighter, you're the B fighter.

Boxing don't work this way no more, man.That's bullshit.At the end of the day, unk.All of us is under one umbrella.All of us is with Turkey.Turkey brings all these guys in one room.

When they in one room, we all can do business with one another.So if anybody don't want to fight, they're scared to fight.And that's the God's honest truth.

OK, that's what I like to hear, because these are the fights.And look, Ochoa is our boxing aficionado, but I grew up in the 80s, and I remember the Four Kings.And I remember the 70s with all the heavyweights.They fought everybody.And then you had Sugar Ray and Hearns and Duran and Ira and Barkley.And they fought everybody.

You guys in an era, because like you said, yourself and Tank Davis and Russell and Roach and Haney, you guys should be fighting.And there's money to be made.People want to see the best fight the best.And then we get in terms of, hey, all I know is in the 2020s, man, Tank and Shakur, boy, they got that.

I've been told y 'all that I was one of the best fighters in the world.A lot of people ain't believe me.Well, now we here.Opportunity is here.And if any of these guys want to smoke with me, I'm right here.I'm not ducking.

She.

But Shakur, you saying that, let me ask you a question.If people had, if you had never saw, if Jordan had never played and he says I'm the best basketball player, would you have believed it?He had to show you.If LeBron or Shaq or Kobe says, I'm the best without showing it, you're not going to believe that.

We got to see it.If the writing been on the wall the whole time and I showed it and y 'all just ain't...I can't read.And then you blind in a motherfucker.You blind in a motherfucker.It already been there.

Tio Fimo was an example.I made an example out of him and these guys are going to get examples made out of them too.

Well, that's what we would like to hear.We'd like to see that fight.So, is it possible we could get one of those?I know, Ocho, you mentioned it.Is there something that we could get?Because you fought Teofimo in, I think, January.

Is there possible we could get another fight, say, like, September?

Before the year's out, I'm fighting.I fight twice a year.That's what I do.So, before the year's out, any of these guys, if they ready to sign a dotted line, any one of them, I'm ready right this second.

And the good thing about it is what I like about what Turkey's also done and obviously Dana White and Zilpha Boxing is the money's so good now that there should be no reason why the fight can't happen.So we can't, it's called prize fighting for a reason and we have people in the game now that are paying these fighters to make these fights happen that we as fans want to see.So I'm excited, you know, brother Haney, Mr. Haney, should be no reason, you know, there's really no reason to stall.144 it is.And let's get it on.You know, in the meantime, we waiting right now anyway.

Okay.Okay.

Man, you got to go pay attention to them fights.You just, you know, you, you kind of behind right now.Go watch some fights and it'll show you everything you need to see.

I'ma teach you, I'ma teach you, you don't know what you're looking at, I'ma teach you.And you do a great job of hitting and not getting hit.But I think sometimes people want to see you put yourself in harm's way and get down.And I'm not saying, look, and that's what you have to do sometimes.

When you step in that ring, you in harm's way.If you put on the boxing gloves before you understand that when you step in that motherfucking square circle you on harm's way and when you go watch my last fight since you saying I don't put myself in harm's way who was backing up me or Teo?But you're backing up.Who's backing up?You're backing up.So I wasn't on harm's way.

Hey, you said you were going to do that too.I asked the question.

I wasn't in the wrong way.You weren't, but when I think personally, I never thought you could, I didn't think you could lose to Tiafimo.Now, if you back up Tank, you back up Haney, you back up those guys, I'm going to come over here and say, Ocho, he made me, he proved me to be a liar.I said he wasn't going to be able to beat me.

He would have never bet no money that I was going to beat Tiafimo the way that I beat him.Yes, I would have.The way that I beat him.No, you wouldn't.

No, no, no, no.Ain't nobody, ain't nobody bet 11 -1.If you beat him bad.Ain't nobody bet 11 -1.I just don't bet that you was going to win the fight, Shakur.I can't, I don't think, I don't think.

They said I was going to run.Maybe a prize pick, a polymarker to somebody and say, well, how bad is he going to beat him?Well, he going to beat him this bad.They said I was going to run.I would have bet money that you would have won.

They said I was going to run.Who ran?

But if you win, it doesn't, at the end of the day, if you win, but for me, I think for me, I'm just like, I've seen guys your size fight Mayweather coming up through the ranks and was flooring people until his hands became brittle.And I watched Sugar Ray and I watched Hat and Hearn and I watched these great - -.

What I'm confused about is now it sounds like you're downplaying T .O.Like it sounds like this is a downplaying like who T .O.is. I mean, T .O.

done showed you how great he is in other fights.Why wasn't he that great that night?

I'm not saying he's not great.

We could talk about the way that you fight.No, I'm not into hitting and being hit.If that's what you're asking me, I won't do that.

I will hit and don't be hit.So are you trying to be, are you trying to be, when they talk about lightweights and super lightweights and junior welterweights, are you trying to be in that shorter weight?

I'm not comparing myself to none of these dudes.I'm trying to be the first Shakur Stevenson.You gonna, at the end of my career, you gonna say, you gonna say, why was his fight so easy?Why wasn't he hurt?Why was, why all, cause I'm that great.

That's what you wanna say.We're not saying that you're not great, Shakur, but I don't believe, and this is me, this is my opinion.Joe has his opinion.Ocho believes you hung the moon.I don't believe that you're gonna get the credit you deserve without knocking people out.

I just don't.That's why you never boxed before.That's not boxing.

That's how I know you never boxed before.Floyd Mayweather, you can talk about Floyd Mayweather, you can say the thing.that he knocked out.But in the tail end of his prom, he wasn't just knocking guys out.This is not true.No, because his hands got brittle.

Exactly.I got hand problems too.What's the difference?

I didn't know that.My bad.Everybody know that.That's why you ain't been doing your homework.

You gotta do your homework.But hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.Hold on.I mean, listen, I love boxing, Joe.I'm sure you watch it.You watch it as well.

But boxing is more than just knockouts.Now, knockouts, being able to have it is really good, like being a slugger in baseball and hitting home runs.The fans love it.But most of the time, when it comes to some of the greats, That's not all boxing is.They call it the street science.

Oh, you're just not in tune, man.You're just not in tune.You gotta get in tune.You ain't do your homework.You got Fs on your homework, man.

You got all Fs.I grew up in, but you can't, you can't say just because I don't like your style that I don't know boxing.I grew up in an era where sugar rating, it was knocking people out.

You just told me that I don't put myself in harm's way by getting in the ring.

That's what you told me.That let me know that you don't do your homework.But you talk about one fight.You talk about Tiafimo.Any fight.What about all the other fights?

Any fight.Any fight.Hold on.I was wondering one thing.Am I the only one that's ever said that about your fighting style?Yes or no?

A lot of people that don't know boxing say that.No, no, no, no.Am I the only one?

You can't use a public opinion for cartoons.No, no.Are you the only cashew that said this?No, you are not.Hold on.Are you the only casual that said this?

No, you are not.

Let me ask you a question.So no other fighter has said that about your fighting style, that they're not happy with your fighting style?

You know how many fighters praise my fighting style?

You know how many fighters wish they could fight like me?Hold on, hold on.Can I talk?Can I talk?

You know how many people go home with, wait, wait, wait, gotta go to the doctor, gotta go get they brain checked out, gotta go, they wish they could do what I do.They prayed like, I wish I had them skills.If I had them skills, they will go home to they family safely.

People don't go to they family safely.So no boxer, no boxer, no guy that's ever fought, has said anything that I've said about your fighting style.

You asking a subjective question.I can't tell you.I'm telling you that you sound like a judge.I'm not being subjective.

Why are you getting so upset with me?It's my opinion.

We debating.We having a good debate.I called you up a hundred times.I mean, I look at you like your uncle, right?So I got respect for you.I got respect for you.

But I don't got respect for you not doing your homework.I don't got respect for that.Do your homework and stop getting ass.

You said you getting Fs.You got an F on all your homework.You said, okay, it's hard for me to believe all the fighters that I can remember that people put a place up high were entertaining.Have you ever watched?

And I'm not saying that you got to put yourself where you get knocked down to do it.I'm very entertaining to some fans that enjoy the sport of boxing.I'm very entertaining.Hey, Ocho, Ocho, am I entertaining?Yeah.

Hello, hello.You gotta be able to pull the non -boxing fan in, Jacor.You already got those guys.You already got the boxing fan.

I'm ready for millions of dollars, man. I don't have to do nothing but go in there and do my job.Appreciate you, man.That's what I love doing, my job, man.

Hey, can we talk about something more important?Yeah.On the joke?When the fuck did you start?Oh, man, you been ducking me for years, man.You gotta stop ducking me.

Hey, you in Vegas, right?I'm in Vegas.You in Vegas?I'm in Vegas right now.

I'm in Vegas right now.You was supposed to.First of all, you and Joe was supposed to.be out here this week, because Conor McGregor fight on Saturday.

And I'm going to be at the fight.And I'm going to be at the fight.

Hey, I think Unc should get in the ring.Man, Unc don't want to do that to himself.He won't lose.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, he too small.You know, he too small.I seen you throw your punches at Unc.

You never threw a punch in your life.

I know.You ever got into a fight?Hey, Unc, have you ever gotten into a fight?But a street fight and a boxing match is something entirely different, Shakur.

There ain't no rules.There are rules in boxing.Every rule is a street fight.A boxing fight lasts 36 minutes.You fighting in a street fight for a minute top.

30 seconds.Exactly.Hold up, this thing ain't going to distance you.

Man, you not going to land shit on me.

You ain't going to distance me.Oh, you heard what he said?This thing is 30 feet away.Ain't no rules in street fighting.Ain't no rules in street fighting.I ain't got that kind of endurance, Shakur.

I'm 58.

I got kids older than you.

Ain't no rules in street fighting.

I'm going to tell you now.

Ain't no rules in street fighting.Hey, Shakur.It sounds like Unc say he'll whoop you in the street like that.That's what it sounds like to me.No chance.Hey, Shakur.

Shakur, I would tell you like this.Go ahead and get turkey money.Go ahead and get turkey money.You got a promising career.That shit will end.I promise you, that shit would end.

I will whoop your ass.

Ain't no way.MMA?

I'll fold your ass up like a lawn chair.I guarantee you won't.The knees?The knees?You think I ain't...The knees?

How them knees feel?

You won't ever know.You can't keep it on you.Shakur, you in a great spot.You just signed with Zumba.Don't mess your money up.You will never see that money.

Keep it on you, man.

Hey, I got to see this, man.We got to set it up, man.We got to set it up.Hey, Shakur, you just said you ain't got no problem making $140 ,000.If you ain't got no problem making $140 ,000, you'll probably walk around somewhere between $38 ,000 and $45 ,000.

I'm going to tell you.I know.I'm not worried about you, though.

There's a hostile takeover.Big guy, take one guy.I'm going straight to your knees.I'm going straight to your knees.I'm telling you now.But see, that's your mistake because you got to get close.

You ain't got no reach like that.

You going to try to get close to me.And he got that jab.You got 30 seconds.

I'm going to let you come to me. I'm going to let you.You got 30 seconds.In your 30 seconds, you got to get rid of the fight.I don't got nothing.As long as I don't engage.I'm going at your knees.

But I know you going to try for me. I'm going at your knees.And I'm just waiting to unload.I'm telling you now.I'm going at your knees.

To do what?What if he need you?What if he need you though?

I couldn't.You don't want me, don't you?

You ever got hit in your spine?

You ever got hit in your spine?Huh?Nah, chill, leave me alone.

I'm fucking with you, dog.At 5 '4", 130?Just chill, dog.Just chill, dog.I'm fucking with you, man. I do it for charity.

There ain't no knockouts in here.

Hey, Ocho, we on the same side.I don't want no smoke in here.Nah, nah, there's no knockouts.

I got you.You still owe me a sparring session.Ocho.Okay.Hey, hold on.Run it clock.

Run it clock.What you mean?Run it clock.

I don't want the clock on him.Just a run it clock.So you wanna, you're tripping.No, you're tripping.No, you scared.You told me before that you didn't even want to spar as many minute rounds as I wanted to spar.

No, I'm saying.

I don't care about you pressuring.

I bet you won't last.I bet you won't last.We good.We good.I know what it is.

Let's bet.OK.All right.Ocho.Ocho.I'm going to let Ocho.

I'm going to let go Ocho handle it, because you ain't in my way.I'm kicking the shit out of your knee.You ain't going to walk no more.It don't even seem right, man.You don't know Shakur.That man 130 pounds.

I'm in the ring before the end of the year for sure.

So, one of the four fighters, is it gonna be Tank, it's gonna be Haney, it's gonna be Russell, or it's gonna be Roach?It's gonna be one of those four fighters.That's what I want, yes.

That's what I want, yes.Okay.Yeah, I like it, I like it, I like it.

Now, I just want you to know, the nightcap crew gonna be there.I just, yo, I want you to have a bet against me, that's what I want.I want you to bet against me.Oh, why would I do that?Okay, okay, oh, you scared, baby.

I ain't gonna lie to you now, if you get in there with Tank, I might have to put a little paper on Tank.

Can you bet me?I wanna be, can you put the paper with me?Oh, so we gonna be locked.

Perfect.Perfect.I don't really like to bet no money, but I'll bet you.Say no more.I'll bet you.Say no more.

I'll bet you.Say no more.I like it.Hey, come on.Hey, I need to put a call in the tank.Anybody got a tank number?

Say no more, man.Just make sure you bet me.That's all I ask.

I don't bet no book.I don't really bet.I mean, me and Ocho, we have friends.

I want real money though.Don't play around with it.I want real money.

The problem with betting is that it's just like anything else.When you bet, you don't really control the outcome.Somebody else is.

No, but I'm betting against you, so I control the outcome.But I ain't in the ring with you.But it's about what you believe in.what you believe.I believe, yeah, I'ma bet you.No, but are you gonna bet -bet me?

Not just bet me, bet -bet.I'm going to bet you.Bet -bet me.

Oh, Lord have mercy.

I wanna dig into your pockets.

What are you thinking, more like 40, 50K?Shit, I think more than that.

Damn.Damn.Hey, when that time, you fight tight, we'll come up with something.Perfect.We'll come up with something to make it worthwhile.

Appreciate you, perfect.

Hey, give me 10%.I'm telling you, Shakur, give me 10%.No, I'm just saying, because when you win, it's going to be because of me. I told you, you're good.

Yeah.Mexican fighters.Yeah, yeah, that's it.Throw a real punch, y 'all.Throw a real punch.Hey, hey, I'm Captain Hook number two.

Let me see a real punch, though.

Let me see, like, let me see one of these, a little shadow box.

Now I know you bluffing.You telling me you bluffing.Let me see, let me see a little bit.

You ain't got nothing.See, all that right there, I'm coming through that guard.That little stuff right there, I'm eating that up.

I see you throw something at Bud, like a little play joint, like you ain't ready.

Hey, I tell you what.The little cake blows, if you can't knock out Tio Fimo, you damn sure can't knock me out.And Tio Fimo wasn't ready.Tio beat your ass.

No, I said you.

You couldn't knock him out, but you talking about you was a little bigger.

And Tio was bigger than me. I came up to his weight class.

Mickey Mouse.

I came up to his weight class.He wasn't 130.I was 135.He was 140.

Hey, I eat 140 pounds worth of food.T .O.

will beat your ass.You will beat your ass.You said Tio, you said I could not come out.So Tio will beat your ass.

I ain't betting Tio.I'm betting you.I'm betting Tank.I'm betting Tank against you.

No, you're not.

You bluffing.Hey, Shakur.Make it happen.I'm ready.You said one of those four fighters.

Tell Tank to fight me.

Why haven't he fight?Why haven't he fought me?He got some issues right now.Okay.Give him a minute.He got to get that settled.

Once he get that settled.

I'm all for that.I mean, if he got his situation with his, I don't wish no bad upon no man. I don't wish no bad, no jail or none of that stuff.I, you know, I hope he get everything right with his personal life.But, but, but, but, but you, you ain't going to bet that money for real.You bluffing.

What you gon' bet?

Don't save him.I'm saying the number so I make sure I get my cut.Oh, you set him up.Hold on, what you mean save me?

Hey Shakur, I know you had a lot to say about that situation that I went through last year.Don't let that situation fool you.What situation?I still arrived to check the bank accounts.What situation?I know you've been fighting for a minute.

I'm confused.What situation are you talking about?

Don't worry about it.We'll, we'll talk off screen.I know you've been fighting for a minute.Your pocket's not that deep.Okay, so Betty, that's all I...I never said my...

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Bro, all I'm gonna say is this All I'm going to say is this, they still take money from the 1800s.So money don't get old.I'm down, but you went to a place where I'm ready to go.Once I get your age, I ain't got no money.You kept saying, I ain't going to bet no money.You kept saying, I ain't going to bet no money like I ain't got no money.

Look here, I got enough.When I leave here, I'm going to leave my kids in a better situation than they ever were.I agree.

That's why I say we ain't even got to go to.

No, you said something about the situation.I ain't say nothing about your situation.No, you did.You did.You was talking because you heard what I said.I heard what you said.

Somebody sent it to me that he got in a situation.I heard what you said and you know you said it.I probably did.I probably did.I've been mad enough to sit in your place.

But you talking about you got more money than me right now.I'm telling you, by the time I get your age, I bet I got more money than you.

No, what I said, hold on, hope you live to get my age.I will, I'ma be here.I've been your age, you've never been mine.I'ma be here, you right, I agree.I'ma be here though.I said this.

I'ma be here.I heard you say, no, so what happened is that you didn't like what I said about your style.You said something slick about the situation I went into.That's what you did.

Yeah, because you speaking on a style that you don't know nothing about.That's nothing personal, that's my opinion.

I don't care.

You, hold on, hold on.Let me get this straight, right?You sit here telling me, oh, you boring and you this.You like talking to me.That's my opinion.You like talking to me.

Huh?

I do.OK. I do.But let me ask you a question.Who's the best basketball player in the NBA?Kawhi Leonard.See?

That's your opinion.I agree.Ain't nobody else.But see, you got upset.You see, Joe didn't get upset.Ocho didn't get upset.

I didn't get upset.That's your opinion.You got upset at me because, and I told Ocho, I said, Ocho, he's an amazing fighter.I said that, but you left, but see, you didn't want to hear that part.You just liked the part like, that style is not entertaining to me.That's what I said.

That was my exact word.I said, Ocho, he's amazing.And the number that he did on Tia Fimo tonight, was a masterpiece.That's all I said.

When you can't explain it, then I don't respect it.Like you can say that style is not amazing.What style is not amazing?

No, I didn't say, I said, no, I said that style is not entertaining to me.What style is not entertaining?The style that you fight at.What is the style?that style that you like.I think the thing is, is that you're more concerned with being undefeated.

I would like more.I like more of a sugar Ray.I'm like, I'm asking about the style, not what I'm concerned with.

You say the style is not entertaining.The style that you fight at, that's what you did.

That's not a style.Everybody knows what I'm talking about.You know what I'm talking about.to explain it.I want you to explain it when you talk.I want Sugar Ray style.

I want you to fight like Sugar Ray.I want you to fight like Tommy Hearns.I want you to fight like Roy Jones.I want you to fight like Floyd in the beginning.Not this is what you're doing.

So you know what I'm saying.I'm not going to disrespect them legends, right?Because you're trying to set me up to disrespect them legends.You are.When you say style, you know, they took a lot of punishment.I just gave you the style that I like.

They took a lot of punishment in the sport of boxing.I asked you to explain my style that you don't like and you have not yet to do it.

I want to see, I don't see enough action from you.Now, the most action I saw when you fought Tia Fimo.

That was after the, that was the fight you said that was boring.That's what you see right after that fight is when you say that it was boring.I said you, I said you was boring before that fight.You went to say it again, right after that fight.That's where all this stuff started at.You don't remember this?

Yes, I remember what I said.I said it.So if you said it after the Tio Fimo fight and you just said that was my best fight.

I said this was the best fight he fought.

As far as entertainment, that's how I know you don't know what you're talking about because when I fought Zepeda, that was a more entertaining fight than the Tio Fimo fight.

So I'm not allowed to have an opinion about your fighting style.

I'm not saying you're not allowed.I'm trying to sit here and debate about the opinion of what you're saying.I'm not saying you're not allowed.You can say whatever you want.You're a fan.I'm saying I want to debate about I want to actually get into what is what and what you're talking about.

You have not yet to really explain.

I just explained to you.I want to see.

Did you watch my fight with Zepeda?

I haven't seen.

Did you watch my fight with Zepeda?

I did not watch that fight.

Okay.My point.You're not in tune.

You don't do your homework enough to even see her in the big box.with you.Let me ask you a question.So you think I'm the only person that haven't seen every last one of your fights?

I'm not saying every last one of my fights, but my most recent fight is if you a fan of the sport Have you seen every last one of Kawhi's games?

Have you seen every last one of Kawhi's games?

Man, listen here, that's two different things.You see how ridiculous that sounds?You can't talk about somebody playing a hundred times a fucking year and somebody that fight two times a year.You can't compare the two.

All I'm saying, I haven't seen everyone on Sugar Ray's fight.

I'm just saying, I thought a very entertaining fight with Zepeda, and you did not watch, and you're sitting here trying to tell me that my style is boring, and I disagree with you.

I'm saying the fights that I've seen...

And if you're not paying attention, you're not doing your homework, and it brings me back to square one, that you don't do enough homework on the sport of boxing to talk on the sport of boxing.

I ask you a simple question.I say, are there any other fighters that's retired that said your style isn't entertaining.You hopped all around that question.

I said there's a hundred fighters that said my style is entertaining.Why do you think a guy like Floyd Mayweather called me little TBE?I could show you him telling me this personally or Terrence Crawford or Andre Ward, all these great fighters surrounding me talk to me about my style and you sitting here telling me I'm supposed to take your opinion serious?You don't have to, it's my opinion.I know, bad at homework.It brings me back to square one.

You get every time you do your homework.Let me ask you a question.I just want to ask you one question.There's no fighter that's good, that's won a world championship, that's retired, that says your fights isn't entertaining.

I don't know.I can't tell you.I'm not, I don't, I don't know.

But you can tell me all the good things that people have said.You can tell me what Bud said.You can tell me what Floyd said.You can tell me what Andre Ward said.But you can't tell me any negative.So it tells me that you surround, and that's how we are, we consume the news.

I'm surrounded.Finish your sentence.You about to say a cap sentence.I'm surrounded by what?

No, I'm not saying, I'm saying you consume the positive news.And so if somebody says something that you don't want to hear, you assume, well, I don't value your opinion because you're not a boxing aficionado.

I assume that you don't know shit about boxing.That's all I'm trying to tell you.You don't know shit about basketball, but you got an opinion on it.I don't try to debate.If I'm sitting here with Kawhi Leonard, I wouldn't try to debate with Kawhi Leonard about basketball.Because I'm not that ignorant.

I can't have an opinion about Kawhi Leonard.What I'm trying to tell you is you're being ignorant.

That's it.I get all that.That's fine.That's fine.You're being ignorant.Shakur.

book ignorant is something that should never come out of your mouth because you don't have a degree okay i run circles around you in the class brother i don't give a fuck about a class i've never called you ignorant i never called you on the plane that has not finished high school or finished school they didn't call me ignorant you did be respectful ignorant when it comes to the sport of boxing That's what you mean.I'm not calling you ignorant as a person.

I'm calling you ignorant when it comes to the sport of boxing.You are.In boxing.

You are in boxing.

You're ignorant about all sports.I don't care.

I'm not trying to be the smartest nigga about all sports.

You're trying to be smart about boxing.You shouldn't be.You're not the smartest boxer.

I'm not the smartest boxer.I'm a way smarter boxer than your favorite fighter.

I don't know who my favorite fighter is. I don't have to know.You don't matter.I tell you what.We'll be back.me because you can't have it.All right, this is what I do.

You gotta have it.That's it.You gotta have it.Have what?In boxing.

I gotta have it.In boxing, yes.You gotta have it.I have an opinion about my style and what I like to see.That's it.And you can have your opinion.

I didn't try to say, well, you this, you that.You can have your opinion.That's all I said.

I don't have no problems with your opinion.No, I don't.Yes, you do.

You just called me ignorant.

I said you're ignorant in the sport of boxing.I done told you this 100 times, whether you want to hear it or not.

Which means it's my opinion.

In boxing, you are ignorant.

It's my opinion.And I stand by that.It's my opinion.It's my opinion.You got upset because I don't fall and praise you.

Your style is boring to me.You're not really hearing me.Your style is still boring.You're being ignorant because...I'm listening.You're thinking that I'm calling you ignorant as a person and I'm not talking about you as a person of being ignorant.

I'm speaking as far as your boxing knowledge and what you're talking about in the sport of boxing, you're ignorant.

Listen, I'm not a soccer aficionado.I know I like messy style.That's cool.

But if you speak on Messi and you start talking to Messi and tell Messi, oh, this is that, this...Messi will call you ignorant in his sport too.

No, I...Ocho.Ocho and I get into debate all the time about Ronaldo and Messi.Ocho say, um, it's hard to say Messi ain't the GOAT, but I like Ronaldo's style.His style is more conducive to what I like to see.That's fine.

That's what Ochoa said.I didn't say, Ochoa, you didn't.

No, when you say the style is boring, you're giving an opinion on something that, to me, I feel is very ignorant, especially if you say Tiafemo was my most entertaining fight after I just fought William Zapater, right before the Tiafemo fight.And if you didn't see it, that means you didn't do your homework.So you bring me back to square one at all times.You get an F when we talk aboutthe sport of boxing.

I'll take the F, but I'm not allowed to have an opinion on what I like to see.

No, you can have an opinion.Everybody can do their homework, but if they can't, they get an F. So why are you so upset about my opinion?I'm not upset about your opinion.I told you this.You are.I'm debating with you.

Don't get mad that I'm debating with you.

We can have a debate, but then you say my boxing is up, but I'm not trying to say, I'm not trying to say you're the greatest lightweight or you don't have to.

I just said your style.Yes.And you get an F when you tell me that my fight with Tiafema was the most entertaining fight compared to my fight with William Zepeda.

But you didn't watch.Hey, can I say something?Go ahead, Ocho.Hold on, hold on, hold on.Real quick, real quick.Can I say something?

Both of you are going back and forth, right?Yeah.Both of you are going back and forth about boxing, going about words, some of the things you're saying to each other.But both of you have opinions.Everything y 'all talk about is based on opinion.

That's all I'm saying, Ocho.

Hey, what you're saying to him is an opinion based on how you feel he fights and the way he thinks about your description on his fighting style being boring.The ignorant part is also an opinion on how he thinks about how he fights.

So we going back, we going in circles about the same thing?That's all I'm saying.That'd be like saying, Joe, who your favorite rapper?Man, Joe, you ignorant on rap.Because Joe's opinion, oh, he might like Tupac.He might like Hov.

He might like Drake.He might like Kenya.Because I disagree with his opinion, I'm saying he ignorant.

But if you talked to fucking Jay -Z at the time, man, you're sitting there talking to him.I'm talking to him.Exactly.You talking to the best fighter in the sport of boxing right now.You got to hear yourself.That's who you talking to.

Put some respect on my name when you're talking.That's all I had.

I've given you respect Shakur all I've said I have ever ever go back and look I say he's in a I said he'sfight.He's great.I say you don't win belts in four different weight classes and not be tremendous.

But I say that, that, that style isn't appealing to me. I'm just saying you don't have an educated opinion.That's it.You don't have an educated opinion.Okay.I like that.

I like that.That's a better one.That's a better one.Hey, honestly, I think y 'all should fight in real life.Honestly.That's how y 'all should settle.

I got great kids.Well, I got you.

I got you.I got you.But if he fight, but if he fight Terry.No, no, no.Hey, hold on, hold on.

You keep saying that.I swear to God, when the fight happen, I better see you.I better see you.I want to see you front row.I want you to sit front row and watch it.That's all I ask.

That's all I ask.When the fight happens, I want you to sit front row.

How you just skip over him?

Nah, nah, nah.

I'm on him right now, sir.

He ain't gonna make no money if you up.Oh no, we just sparring.Hey, tell Bud to come with you so I can get moving.Nah, nah, leave Bud alone.

Nah, I'ma beat his ass too.Bud don't know how to turn the switch off, man. I don't care about no switch.I got a switch too.

Hey, Shakur, you tell, matter of fact, tell Andre Ward.I want all three of you.

You sound crazy.

Huh?Hey, Shakur, you know they call me by my hands, right?

Nah, I done seen you box before.I ain't seen more than two hands, brother.

First of all, leave Bud alone.Leave Andre Ward alone.Hey, won't you get a fighter that's retired like three or four years?

Listen to me.Listen to me real quick.I'm from Dade County.You see all three of them fighters name you just named, right?Yes.I don't even curse like that.

I don't even curse.I don't even curse.You make me say the N -word.That's how I say it.You gotta chill, man.

You being illusionary right now.Don't hit him in his face.He gotta come on nightcap.Hit him on the body.Hit him on the arm or something.

Hey, Unk.Unk, I can survive.Yo, my cameraman will whoop your ass.

Hey, no, let him do the ring.Hey, Joe, hey, Tank, I mean, damn, fuck.Shakur, let him do the ring walk with you.

I can't do the ring walk.Oh, hell no.I want him to sit front row.I want him to watch his money lose.I want him to sit there and cry.That's what I want.

I ain't gonna cry about it, because I'm only going to bet what I can lose and sleep through the night.

No, hell no.I want you to bet some real shit, man. I want you to really be mad at yourself, man. I'm only going to bet.

No, no, no, no, no, no.No, no, no, no, no.I want you to be mad at yourself.I still got kids.I want your kids to be mad at you.
