Thank you, man.
How much weight you lost?
So overall, I've lost over like 140 pounds, 130 pounds.
Yeah.
What were you right now?
I was big.
Right now, I'm at like 225, around like 225.
Okay, so you were almost, you were 325.
I was like 370
at my highest.
But that was a couple years ago.
Okay, okay.
So a couple years ago, I really started to like...
care about my you know just health and stuff and then uh i kind of just let myself i can't see you wearing that much is there a picture somewhere yeah i saw him when he was probably 250s yeah around there yeah for sure was there like a health scare or what sparked it uh i mean dude honestly just like a bunch of stuff i mean yeah obviously a health scare my dad passed away from a heart attack in like 2016 um and i have had uh high blood pressure just growing up so i just obviously wanted to get on top of that and just while i'm young and able to you know push myself in the gym uh just get on top of it other than that man it's just living a healthy lifestyle bro like i just don't want to be fat and just lazy and not taking care of myself so I started boxing and I've just fallen in love with it bro it's awesome
and how'd you get into boxing uh I mean I really didn't know what I wanted to do I took a long break from YouTube for a little bit yeah and I didn't really know where like what direction I wanted to go in and I was like dude if I can just kind of show people my fitness journey
I think that will touch a lot of people and help out a lot of people and then Frazier and Jarvis hit me up when I was living in Florida and they're like yo you want to fight And I never really thought about fighting, but I was like, I definitely can.
Like, I'm not scared to fight.
I definitely would get in there.
And then I went to a gym in Miami.
I didn't really like the coach over there.
And then they were like, yo, we're moving to Vegas.
If you want to come out and just train at the Mayweather Gym and see how you like it.
And then I've been there since like January, beginning of January.
And just haven't really looked back.
Just going full force, man, like twice a day.
Just eating really good and just staying on top of my stuff.
What is your diet like?
So my diet's a little bit different than a lot of people.
I always just say this, like everyone's body's different.
I eat one meal a day.
Same.
Yeah, it's just what works with me.
I don't eat any carbs, so I cut out like bread.
And I just get my carbs from like fruit and stuff like that.
No rice, no pasta, nothing like that.
And it's just, bro, the weight just falls off, man.
When you do stuff like that.
You still eat meat.
You still eat meat.
Yeah, yeah.
Beans.
It's beans?
Beans?
Yeah, I can eat beans and stuff like that.
But I cut out red meat, actually.
It's not really because I think it's bad for you.
It's just for me when when I'm training I anytime I eat it and I wake up I just feel slower
So I don't really eat red meat much anymore So basically just like I'll just wake up in the morning have a cup of tea
Have like a an orange or an apple or something and then I'll go to the gym work out for like two or three hours come home and then that's when I'll kind of get into having my first meal of like ground turkey a little bit of salad super light too and then at night I'll have some more fruit and that's really it.
Nice.
Well how how are you like
what do you, what are you doing to make money right now?
YouTube and stuff.
And then I'm getting into just like management stuff.
Okay.
LF management?
Yeah.
When he said management, I knew.
Yeah, we're working on that.
Okay.
Yeah.
So we just started doing a little bit of that.
Hopefully
that goes well.
Some big money in that industry.
Yeah, definitely.
Our girls need it.
I didn't realize how many of them.
Well, they don't know how to market.
Yeah.
Some of them don't.
Yeah, I mean, it's not only just the marketing.
I feel like it's just also just guidance because I've been in the social media world for so long and I've just gathered so much information.
And like, it's just, if I can just share that with these new up-and-coming creators and, you know, just help them build a career for themselves,
it's a good thing to do.
Where do you see social media heading?
Because you've been in for like 10 plus years.
So you see it shifting.
Dude, there's with this AI stuff and I don't, bro, I don't even know, man.
Who knows?
That's the thing.
Like, you really never know with this kind of stuff.
It's always like, just like kind of like, this is kind of a weird example.
You have a ton of long form content that you want to turn into short form?
Well, look no further than Opus Pro.

Link is in the description down below.
I like the Fortnite phase, you know?
Fortnite just kind of came out of nowhere, and then boom, bro.
Like all these kids making millions of dollars.
They're same thing as
pants comes out of nowhere.
And now there's all these girls making so much money.
Like money you can't even really comprehend.
You know what I mean?
So, I mean, I feel like it's just, it's headed, in my opinion, it's headed in a good direction.
I mean, it's
creating jobs for people.
People are able to support their families and stuff.
So, I mean,
it seems like it's going in the right direction.
You were big into esports, right?
Yeah, I mean, I was a part of a huge esports org.
So, I mean, yeah, definitely.
What do you think caused it to kind of fall off?
Because, like, Fortnite was, I feel, like, the pinnacle.
Yeah.
I think TikTok, bro.
I think just like TikTok and just short form content kind of is like, is the wave now.
Like, people's...
attention spans are kind of just going lower and lower and like
no no attention span yeah literally bro like right now it's like seven seconds bro yeah i think it's lower now.
Yeah, something like that.
Yeah, so like, what do you do?
Yeah, exactly.
So, like, people aren't just going to sit there and just watch, like, right, right.
You know what I mean?
They're not going to sit there and watch a two-hour, three-hour event at all.
Although, I will say, like, there is still some esports that are doing really well.
Like, Counter-Strike, I feel like that's just a staple in esports.
It's just always going to do well.
I know Valorant's doing pretty well now.
And, I mean, I come from the Call of Duty world.
And
to be honest, bro, I think with COD, it's just a divide between the developers of the game and the people who are the pro players.
It's just they both don't see eye to eye and it's just kind of what's the feud there?
Is it
I think it's just like
they, I mean, obviously, like Activision and all of them, they want to make as much money as they can, and they're not listening to what the pros want.
You know what I mean?
So if you're not making the people who are playing your game competitively happy, then
your viewership's going to be.
I would actually link up with them just to make up.
Well, how much money are the pros bringing in?
You got to see it from both sides, I think.
Exactly.
But you want to appease the audience, though.
You got to appease the program.
the pros aren't the audience, though.
Well, it's the so they're the client, the clientele base.
So, if it's hindering the growth of the game, right?
I think that it wouldn't hurt to have a conversation with them.
Agreed.
What would it hurt?
Agreed.
Yeah, I mean, also, another thing I'm gonna just say, bro, the game sucks.
The new one?
Yeah, like that's the problem.
Like, when back in the day, bro, playing like MW2 COD 4, I would sit there for literally like days, bro, and like try to skip school, fake sick, all that stuff, bro.
Now, I just don't even have the urge to even, like, I I haven't even played the new COD really, like at all.
Literally not.
I stopped following it after they're.
Did they do a Battle Royale one?
Yeah, like they have Warzone and all that kind of stuff.
And even Warzone, bro, like even the regular players, like their audience, like hate the game.
It's just not where it's supposed to be.
And they just don't do anything about it.
Do you think it's because releasing one a year is too fast?
Do you think they should take more time?
Yeah, I mean, they tried to do this thing where they dropped Warzone before they dropped, or they dropped the new COD before they dropped the new new Warzone.
And it was doing pretty well at the start, and then people started to realize we like the older one better.
You know what I mean?
So I feel like it's also like players just aren't enjoying the game at all.
In all aspects of the esports or just like content creation, all that kind of stuff.
I mean, I think Call of Duty in general, content creation-wise, the viewership has been down since like 2015, 2014.
Wow.
Yeah, the peak was when I was in like middle school, high school, I think.
Yeah, so you remember like cut comms and all that kind of stuff?
Like people don't really watch that stuff anymore.
Wow.
And again, I guess that goes back to the attention span being literally less than seven seconds.
Like, you could just go on TikTok and watch a COD clip.
Yeah.
The dopamine from TikTok's insane.
You said the dopamine?
Like, yeah, bro.
No, for real, though.
Like, every video is like, this is, you get addicted.
Yeah, I try to, I mean, I have to stay on it, obviously, because it's my job and I got to be around that stuff.
But I try to stay away from like the short form content as much as I can, even though I'm starting to create it, you know?
Yeah.
Well, I like looking at it for podcast ideas and video ideas.
So I try to use it for business.
Yeah.
But people get addicted or study it more so and figure out, you know, what's what, the why behind it.
Yeah, even bro, the scary thing is just like little kids, man.
Like, I remember growing up, like, I'd always be outside just with my friends.
You don't ever see kids outside anymore?
No, bro.
I don't even, I think bike sales are down.
Shit.
Like, dude, think about it.
When the last time a kid got hit on a bike?
When the last time you almost hit a kid on a bike?
Yeah, you're right, bro.
No, just wait.
When happened the last time you almost hit a kid on a bike?
They're all worried about their internet going out.
Where are the kids at?
It's like, do they even exist?
When I see kids playing in my neighborhood now, I'm like, oh my gosh.
Yeah, bro.
You're in awe.
It's rare.
You don't see, like, parks are just nice.
Like, it's just nice places now.
You don't ever really.
Parks are dead now.
And like, bro, that's another thing with boxing that I just, I love being around just that atmosphere, man.
Because like, there's even like kids in there that are just training.
And like, these kids are like, there's a kid in there, in there Carmel Morton I think he's uh 17 light-skinned cat yeah nice bro nice he is the future of boxing bro he's good yeah he's nice like everyone like all the top boxers know who he is like Anthony Joshua follows him on Instagram like nice bro all these people he kind of look like tank a little bit yeah everyone says that he's like a mini tank yeah yeah he looks like but uh he's 17 bro and like you can tell this kid does not game like he's just at the gym constantly like he'll get to the gym do an entire workout spar and then like I'll see on Instagram like a couple hours later, he's out in a different gym sparring.
And like, bro, he puts in work, bro.
So just being around that is super motivating.
And even like younger than him, bro, there's like kids in there who are just, I mean,
just trying to stay out of trouble.
You know what I mean?
So their parents just throw them in that gym and it builds a lot of discipline.
So how do you feel like
the celebrity boxing is?
I kind of feel like it's making boxing relevant.
I feel like it's not taking over, but it's taking a toll.
Like
it's making its way.
although they you know they try to shame it yeah bro that's the thing like so i know a lot of pros and like people who are like you know old school boxing fans yeah they kind of don't they don't really mess with it that much but i mean bro it's bringing light to your to your sport absolutely and it's bringing numbers that you guys have never seen before i mean even like the ryan garcia tank fight i mean bro a lot of the big influencers were promoting that like without even knowing you know tweeting about it and all that kind of stuff so I think it's just it all comes full circle man everyone's helping each other out and I think it's a good thing
And even like for these boxes, man, it's hard as a boxer.
Like, even at our gym, there's some boxers that are
really good.
And they just don't have that social media falling.
They haven't been trained to be able to, you know, build something like that.
So it's also cool when we're in there.
You know, they're helping us get better.
And, you know, we can help them kind of boost their socials a little bit and get their names more out there.
Because how do you get big fights, bro?
You got to have a big name, you know?
How relevant do you feel Jake Paul was in that
like
that re like that resurrection of boxing.
I feel like he, he was, he, dude, a lot of people, a lot of people hate on Jake, bro.
And, like, obviously, in a sport like that, you're going to have haters, you're going to have people who love you.
But, bro, he, in my opinion, he brought a new light to it that has never been seen.
He did, for sure.
So, even for us, bro, I mean, look what he's doing for, like, even for me.
Like, I'm going to be fighting soon.
Like, that wouldn't have been possible if he wasn't throwing those events.
For sure.
So, I mean, it's just, I thank you.
And I'm sure everyone feels the same way in the influencer scene.
And And if you don't, I feel like you're just lying to yourself.
You know what I mean?
Like, you got to,
it's always, you got to remember who started doing something like that.
So him, Jake Paul, or Jake Logan, KSI, like all those guys, man, they're just bringing the stuff to a new wave.
Are you worried about any permanent brain damage with boxing?
My mom is...
I mean, no, I don't think so, man.
You just got to learn how to defend yourself.
I mean, if you get knocked out, there's nothing you can really do.
But you're so long.
You shouldn't be getting touched.
Nah, bro.
I mean, the way I've been.
What is your wingspan?
I think like 82,
81.
I could be wrong.
I could be wrong.
Get touched.
That's 6'10.
You get touched.
You got a lot of work to do.
Yeah, no, no, but that's what you're doing.
Your jab should win the fight.
Exactly.
So, like, that's a big thing that my coach really gets me working on is like learning your distance and like just your jab, bro.
I get in that gym and like some days I'll walk in and Otis will just be like, get on the bag.
You're throwing like 5,000 jabs.
5,000.
Bro, you leave that place, bro, and your arm is like falling off, bro.
And like, they do not let you bullshit around.
Like, if they see you messing around, like, they'll whoop your ass, bro.
Really?
Yeah, you gotta, you gotta listen.
And, I mean, it helps, bro.
Like, I've been boxing for, what, like, six, seven months.
And, like, the amount of like progress I've seen in myself,
it's crazy.
So,
I'll be ready, bro.
I'll be ready.
Do you have a dominant hand?
Doesn't matter, bro.
You're going to keep it a mystery for the final.
Yeah, it don't matter, bro.
Left hand, right hand, uppercut, Sierra Ambidextrous.
Yeah, I mean, bro, I just, I'm working on all my tools, bro.
You have to.
You never know what situation you're going to get into in there, so you got to be ready for whatever.
Wow.
Who are some people you like watching in the YouTube boxing scene?
Salt Poppy is definitely someone I just, I think he's just super fun to watch.
And that's the thing with influencer boxing, man.
It adds personality to boxing.
You know what I mean?
So all the shit talking and all that kind of stuff, all the buildup to the fight.
It's definitely something I'm super excited for.
Yeah.
But I mean, everyone, bro.
Like, I honestly don't miss an event.
I love watching.
I just love watching boxing in general.
Who do you think is the best right now in the YouTube boxing scene?
Like, do I gotta say Jake?
Because, like, he's fought so much, but at the same time, I think Jake is the most consistent.
I like KSI.
I think KSI is a lot of heart.
Yeah.
I think Jake is skilled.
Jake has worked on his crap.
You got to respect him as a boxer now.
You think KSI could be Jake?
I think it'll be a good fight.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I think it's a good fight, but I'm going to go with Jake.
I'm going to give Jake the edge.
Because of technicalities.
No, no, not even technicalities.
The way that
he reads boxers,
the way he throws his counters.
KSI is
aggressive.
He's quick.
Poor on Orthodox.
Yeah, but I just like Jake because obviously his skill level, he's fought, you know, he's fought some.
More experience.
Right.
But I think
if they were to fight,
I'm going to give Jake.
I'm going to give Jake.
I would go Jake, I think.
Yeah, Yeah, the only thing I would say is.
I think it'd be a great fight, though.
I don't think Jake has fought someone who fights like KSI does that.
That's true.
So just that super aggressive, constant pressure.
You know what I mean?
I think the closest was my man, UMC.
Tyron Woodley?
Tyrone Woodley.
That was the closest.
And that was actually a tough fight.
Both fights.
Bro, the thing is,
Jake and KSI, they're always going back and forth.
Like, you're not boxing anyone worth
it.
Tyron Woodley.
Bro, they both are.
The closest that applied that much pressure as far as from a boxing skill set standpoint.
I mean,
you got to give it to him.
Like, bro, he beat Anderson Silver, bro.
Like, you can say anything you want.
He's an MMA fighter.
He's this.
He's that.
Bro, it's Anderson Silver, bro.
I'm going with it.
It don't matter.
There's a lot of mental to it, too.
Jake has a headache.
Oh, yeah, bro.
I mean, just even just training-wise,
a lot of it is mental.
Like, you want to go in there, and I'm getting thrown in there with like world champions.
And my coach is like, yeah, you're sparring him.
Like, bro, if you're not mentally prepared in there you're gonna crash and burn instantly so you got to be ready no matter what and then the headgear the breathing yeah
bro you fight with a mouthpiece in with with headgear it's a different
yeah bro you know it's completely different it's totally different you know and it's quiet
it's tough to replicate yeah bro i've been like heavily working on my cardio it's one thing like i'm really really trying to get yeah you know wherever i can get it to at the top i run every single day but bro there is no cardio like sparring really at all like just you even when you're like not landing your punches, you're missing punches or
your punches are glazing off a shoulder, especially with bigger people, like the people that I'm sparring.
Like, they're so heavy, and like it's just, bro, you throw a punch, hits their shoulder, and you're like,
like, takes some energy out of you, bro.
Because energy has to go somewhere.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah,
you actually use more energy missing.
Yeah.
Oh, I didn't know that.
I mean, think about it, because like when you're following through in a punch, and especially when you're throwing a power punch, like, bro, you're exerting all your energy and you're trying to, you know, uh, transfer all your body weight into one position.
And that's important to transfer a body weight because you can throw punches, they have no power.
But once you know how to transfer that body weight, turn the leg, the hip, it's different.
The punch is way different.
I feel love.
Bro, honestly, I feel lucky that I'm a heavyweight because, like, I'll be sparring like, you know, lightweights and feather weights and all that kind of stuff just to kind of, we just move around or whatever.
Yeah.
Bro, they're so fast.
Really?
Like, dude, it is like sparring heavyweights and sparring people that are like jake size or like jarvis's size or someone like that bro it's totally totally different ballgame because they're just constantly moving constantly moving around their footwork is immaculate yeah so at least with heavyweights you know unless someone is there's uh antonio zepeda who who uh trains out of mayweather i spar him a lot he's like my main sparring partner and uh he's like one of the only heavyweights i've ever really seen who like is constantly moving and like just ducking and throwing jabs quick quick quick quick, quick.
So that's kind of what I'm the style that I'm trying to go for,
which is why I kind of brought my weight down a little bit more so I'm more mobile and can move around a little bit more.
Yeah.
So, but heavyweights, there's more knockouts, right?
I mean, bro, if you get caught, if you get caught
by a heavyweight, bro, that's just like getting hit by a sledgehammer, bro.
Yeah, bro, it's different.
It's a lot of weight, bro.
You're talking about 220, 230 pounds.
And I'm light for a heavyweight.
What's your weight again?
225, 230.
Like, that's pretty light for a heavyweight.
Like, Antonio, who I'm talking about, he walks around at like 275, 280.
And he's not fat.
Like, he's just
what's your body fat percent?
I have no idea, bro.
You got to be like six.
I don't know.
I don't even know.
I got to get that checked out for you.
Boxing is, like, I was telling them earlier, like, boxing is important.
I think all men should go to the gym.
Not for bulk or muscle.
I think a skill set is to learn how to fight.
Yeah, bro.
I love it.
Yeah, even if you don't want to go and like fight in an event, like bro.
I even told Sean, I said general, bro.
He's long.
You look more confident than
yeah, I mean, bro, because, bro, like, bro, pull up on me, you know what I mean?
Like, you learn a lot, bro.
All that back and forth on the internet.
I'm not into that, yeah.
No, bro.
And, like, that's kind of what it brings out of you.
Like, when you're in, bro,
we're in the doghouse, bro.
Like, get in there.
You have to, bro.
You, you got a good build for dude.
He's, I told him, I was like, bro, you're long.
It's going to be a good thing.
We got an advantage, bro.
It's hard to beat you, bro.
So hard to beat you.
You keep your lead hand out there, bro.
Like, it's hard for the jab is blinding at his at his size and his length his jab is as blinding because he's so long so even if you're moving your head if you keep it in front of you you really can't lead hand you you really can't get uh you really can't see where he's at because he's constantly you're constantly trying to get away from the jab and counter that but if he's keeping it in front he's long so it'll it'll it's blinding in the sense of you lose him right and it yeah and it keeps also just like defense wise it you keep it defense yeah exactly.
You get to just see, like, you have much more understanding and more vision of just shots coming your way because, you know, you're further back a little bit and like easier to counter and all that kind of stuff.
So, I mean, dude, being long is
punching down?
I mean, it depends on who I'm sparring, obviously.
But, I mean, when I'm sparring heavyweights, not really no.
No, you're more so punching Chris.
Most heavyweights are, so he's a big heavyweight.
Yeah.
Because you're 6'9, right?
Yeah, 6'6'8.
That's a tall.
heavyweights is big like that's a big heavyweight but most heavyweights i mean most of the heavyweights you fought are smaller than you yeah yeah they're like six five six six six four ish around there but i mean other than like i mean bro i'm trying to think even like tyson fury deonta wilder they're my height so like wow just picture that you know height kind of helps then yeah so like i mean i watch bro i watch them every single day really yeah click show
no no no no i just like watch youtube videos but the thing with boxing is bro like you really gotta take it seriously you really gotta do your research.
You really got to learn.
You can't play boxing, bro.
You can play basketball.
You can play boxing.
It's not a game, bro.
You can't play hockey, but you cannot play boxing because you can go to bed in there.
Yeah.
That's true.
You're risking it.
Bro, I got, I got, like, when I first started, obviously I didn't really know what I was doing.
And, like, they don't throw you right in there.
You got to make sure, you know, you know how to defend yourself and all that stuff.
But I got a little bit overwhelmed when I was first in there and I got caught, bro.
And after I got caught, I was like, all right.
You ever been dropped?
No, no, no, no.
I've never been dropped.
No, no.
You got a nice chin on you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
I can take a hit for for sure.
Okay.
But, bro, you got, like he said, bro, you can't play boxing.
Nah.
It's not a game.
I don't know what the hell you're doing in there, bro.
Scary, bro.
Like, if you're not prepared, that's why I always say, like, bro, you have to be on your
diet, your workout routine.
Honestly, even just like mentally, bro, the people that you're surrounding yourself with and just all that kind of stuff.
Like, everything needs to be.
What makes you feel the most comfortable.
I believe you have to know how to fight.
Yeah.
Man.
And also, yeah,
you have to, bro.
You just never know when you have to.
Defend your wife, defend whoever, bro.
That's my mind.
That's a life skill.
You have to know how to fight.
Yeah.
I believe in knowing how to fight and know how to use a gun.
Not actually carrying on you, but you have to know how to defend yourself, bro.
The world is wicked.
Especially now, bro.
You never know, bro.
The world is wicked, bro.
Yeah, I'm always on alert, bro.
Every time I'm out, bro, like, I'm always like, yo, you used to get swatted, right?
Yeah, and like, that's another thing.
Like, we gotten, bro, we've been robbed, we've been swatted.
Like, and I didn't know how to defend myself back then, but yeah, but now.
Oh,
oh,
Well, you can't fight a SWAT team.
No, no.
Just in general, someone pulls up on you, bro.
You never know.
Yeah, he long dude, bro.
Whatever he hidden, he breaking for sure.
That's a lot.
You guys got robbed?
Yeah, bro.
This was in,
I want to say like 2017.
I lived with, it was me, Face Temper, FaZe Adapt,
Operside.
And my friend Nick.
We were living in this house in Hollywood.
And
the first day that we got there, bro, we actually got robbed and we had no idea.
I remember my girlfriend was over with her family and they were like, what is all that noise upstairs?
I was like, oh, it's probably just Alex running around.
And I went downstairs and Alex was in the theater.
And, you know, you just don't really think anything of it.
It's just like, whatever.
And then a couple months went by and like Alex started to like lose some stuff, like expensive stuff, like clothing,
jewelry.
And like,
As like, Alex, I love you, but we're just like, bro, Alex, you're being dumb.
You're stupid.
Like, you're just losing all your stuff.
Or maybe our maids, like, put it somewhere, like, cleaned it or whatever.
Didn't think anything of it.
And then this one night, everyone was at Coachella.
And so the dude was actually watching our stories for sure because he knew when everyone was gone.
And I didn't go to Coachella.
Me and my other roommate, we didn't go.
And I was out late.
And I got back at like
2 a.m.
And it was like a windy night.
And I got home and the door was open.
The front door was open.
I was like, oh, maybe the wind just like blew it open or whatever.
And I went downstairs to to check on Nick and he was just out.
And then he texted me like an hour later.
He's like, yo, did you just open up my door and call my room?
I'm like, no.
And I'm like, oh, my God, bro.
Like, there's no way there's someone in our crib right now.
Like, is this for real?
He was like, yeah, like, my dog just ran out the door and started barking.
I thought it was you.
I was like, no.
He's like, bro, I think we just got robbed.
I'm like, no, you're tripping.
And then I went back, laid down in bed, and I was like, hold on a second, bro.
My laptop, my camera, everything is on the kitchen counter upstairs.
If that's gone, we got robbed.
Go upstairs.
Gone.
Go downstairs in the movie theater.
Everything was gone.
Go upstairs to Alex's room.
Everything was gone.
There's a YouTube video on it.
That's awful.
And we have all the footage and stuff.
And then two years go by.
And a homie of ours, Marshmallow, he hit us up and he's like, yo, I got news for you guys.
The dude that robbed you guys also tried to rob me and he got caught.
And unfortunately, we didn't really get anything back because it was like so long after.
Marshmallow, Marshmallow?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we lived like pretty close to him.
And this dude was like going around all these houses just just robbing each one.
How do you know it's the same dude, though?
Uh, so the same was our guy, yeah, emotionally, yeah, bro.
He's he's a homie.
So, um, the investigator who was also investigating our case, bro, it was like a case going on forever, uh, also was doing his Marshmallows case when he got robbed, and uh, he hit us up and he was like, Yeah, we got the guy finally.
I was
two years later, two years later, but I mean, at least he's
how do you feel about the uh Austin fighting Gibbs in a a rematch?
Austin and Gibb?
Yeah.
I mean,
Jarvis is about to fight Gibbs July 15th.
Jarvis is going to beat him, but I knew Austin wasn't going to beat him again.
Yeah, bro.
The thing is, bro.
Austin's really not that good.
Yeah, I mean, bro,
I just feel like there's a lot of influencer boxers who obviously got to be confident, bro, but you also need to understand that there is levels to it.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
You can overlook him.
I think Austin did that.
Yeah.
But I wouldn't have never fought him again on a rematch.
Yeah, and it's unfortunate.
I mean, we didn't really get to see much in the last fight because they fought again in that rematch.
He twisted his ankle or whatever.
So we didn't really get to see much.
But, I mean, bro, same thing with Gibb.
I mean,
you never know, bro.
Rematch, if it ever happens again, I mean, it won't happen for a while because they're doing this tournament.
I think Jarvis is a good Gibb, though.
Gibbs is Gibbs.
Jarvis is a dog, bro.
He applies pressure, but Jarvis, from a skill-wise standpoint, from skill set, Jarvis is like a
natural boxer.
He's a natural boxer.
He can be a little bit more.
Yeah, bro.
And
if you have that natural dog in you to be able, and then you're in a gym like the Mayweather Gym where you're just getting trained to put all those skills in the right place, bro, you're unstoppable.
There's a reason why everyone in that gym, they basically all have undefeated records, bro.
That's insane.
They don't mess around in that gym, bro.
It's very different.
I've been inside of different gyms before.
And I just, and I've even just like other influencers, I've seen sparring footage.
It's just different, bro.
Like, when you're sparring in that gym, it's like,
be
it's a doghouse, bro.
Like, there's so many clips on YouTube of just like Floyd Mayweathers back in the day just doing like doghouse rules.
And it's like, you go in there, you drop someone next up.
You know what I mean?
Like, bro, it's
you keep going.
So that's one thing I'm super, super thankful and blessed to be a part of that gym.
And
they've welcomed all of us with open arms.
So So it's cool to be in there for sure.
