God Bless You

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
thank you bro, you saved 20 mins of my life
I see an Eddie interview- I click 😊 Always appreciate his insights!
Hi Eddie
I love how composed and professional he stays while interviewing. I don't think it was an awful fight, however a bit lackluster.
Me too
2:40 Hearn without headphones 2:44 Hearn with headphones. What is this witchcraft?
😂
it be ring craft
Podcast IQ
Ed phones…….
Serrano vs Baumgardner should be happening next. Great fight. Winner fights the winner of Cameron vs Taylor.
I'll always rep for Nate, but the fight was dreadful... Any pro boxer worth watching should've put Nate down within the 10
Not to mention the massive size advantage that Jake had. 🤦♂️
I honestly thought Jake was gonna get him out of there in the first round. He was lighting Nate up and then he let off.
@seenasoltani1808 massive size difference? Nate was taller and longer in reality and both weighed in same weight. Come on now lmao
@gooniusmaximus94 that's not Nate's optimal weight. He's really more like a 170 guy. Jake on fight night weighs at least 200. So yes, he does have age, size and boxing experience on Nate and yet still couldn't put him away. Still a bum
@@gooniusmaximus94 Nate fought 90% of his UFC career at 155 pounds, been the same height has nothing to do with weight. Nate's a small 170 pounder in the UFC, Jake couldn't make 170 pounds if he cut off his leg. You don't have a single clue what your talking about.
20:56 😊
Not all hero's were capes
I agree This was a sad excuse for a show of boxing . However I love Nate . He is a real G and deserves the payday .
Love him or hate him a Hearn video always worth a watch
er, no it isn't. He's insufferable.
@@OGboxing...you do realise you can watch ariel without clicking on this video. Insufferable yet your masochistic self is here
Agreed. I'm a fan of the show but how much ball sucking Ariel has been doing for the influencer boxing and sucking up to it cause he's part of it now is weird. Fight sucked.
You can tell the difference from ppl who actually watch combat sports. We all agree that was a terrible fight lol. And then you have all the Jake Paul KZheadr fans that think that he’s a godsend and will KO Canelo 😂.
@@Rearneckedchokethe people saying that are trolling for the most part
Yeah he's shilling pretty hard on it, but eh it's whatever lol I've seen worse boxing fights
@@theoutsiderjess4869you're innocent to believe that.
@@Malcommind you are a simpleton to believe they arent trolling
The truth has always been Jake's an entertainer, he's more so good enough to beat most guys he's facing, but he's no prospect. He'll never be a top pro nor was he or other influencers even top-level amateur boxers. So, the whole niche it's something built off an idea that is somewhere they have created to get a lot of money from the boxing world when neither the main attraction nor its rivals don't have the true level to really deserve the money they receive for their given level of ability. Jake definitely stacks the deck in his favor in regard to his competition and so do most beginning pro boxers, though, the thing is he's not a true pro. This is the circus level of boxer space. Jake makes sure his opposition are not boxers, they're old and broken down and that have fought mostly in smaller weight classes. Even though, he does this it is still the other person's responsibility to understand what is happening and accept it and think of it more as financial opportunity. Nate is funny he tries to convince people he's this great boxer in MMA. Or that that he was trying to be a boxer until he got a UFC contract, oh, please he would have between 20+ or 30 + losses in boxing. He's always been sloppy with punches, he's a slappy puncher that literally overextends and doesn't turn over his shots. He literally falls into his shots rendering them less effective and powerful. His footwork is nonexistent, and his defense has always been lackluster, and he's always been very hittable and really slow. He literally depends on his opponents being dead tired, arm weary and punching themselves out in order to even start doing anything with his pitter patter punches. Diaz is more so a survivor of getting pieced up and being a punching bag. Always trying to out cardio his opponents to mount an offense and hope to pull out the victory when time is nearly expired. He's not a fast twitch nor explosive guy, he's guy trying to be there in moments when you want to rest. Generally, he wants to have a 45 minute to an hour fight in a match with a 25- and 30-minute time limit. It doesn't work, having the energy to make it last that long is silly. What good is that type of cardio you have to beat people up and possibly finish them in the allotted time. No excuses of needing more time and what if fantasy scenarios that people need to invent so they can proclaim Diaz was just a step away or that he really won. Even when he can be down multiple rounds with some being scored 10-8 from onslaughts and knockdowns. Yes, Jake is not great as a boxer, though, he never was going to be or supposed to be. Jake has a lot of holes, but this is the circus level attraction not tried and true boxing.
Imagine reading all of that
The fact Jake couldn't finish Nate who is a 170er at best is embarrassing.
No one has knocked nate out
Nate one of the toughest fighters in the history of combat sports
@@bigKyrieFan11false. Josh Thompson knocked him out and Nick threw the towel. You weren’t born yet.
@@bigKyrieFan11he got dropped 4 times by a 145er and jake dropped him once in 10 rounds as a man who cuts to get to cruiserweight
You realize Nate has to weight cut to get to 170. Probably walks around at 187
Nate was as good in boxing as CM Punk was in mma
at 2:43, suddenly, he’s wearing headphones! I thought these interviews were uncut 🤷♂️🤷♂️
What I like about Eddie is he admits if he’s wrong
What I like about Eddie is; nothing
@@BullishBitcoinBanter_Bullshithe still got you here,must be doing something to attract you
He says so many things wrong that it’s bound to happen at some point 😂. When you have diarrhea in his mouth, you will be wrong 90% of the times 😂
Amazing how the headphones just appeared out of nowhere on Eddie lmao
lolll how?!
yea that was some weird matrix glitch
21:00 You're welcome
Ty so much, was totally looking for a time stamp
✌️
Did Eddie dirty on the thumbnail, look like a hostage video 😂
True
Hope we get Wilder fight but Wilser should have a fight before he goes against AJ. Great fight for next year
fight was awesome, both guys did great
Seems like using VADA for these fights is counterproductive and just leaves chaos in its wake as there never seems to be a proper conclusion to these adverse findings. Is UKAD just completed unfit for purpose?
glad someone is saying it
Amazing video
Going to listen but just commenting based on the title. It was terrible as a sporting event or competition. But I see it for what it was a form of entertainment. That's it.
I can't click on the link fast enough when I see Eddie's on.
I don’t care for boxing unless it’s big ones like fury, wilder or Camelot (sometimes) but whenever Eddie Hearn talks I’ll watch.
I love that Camelot boxer. Awesome guy.
Opening question is why I like Arial so much. Humanised hearn immidiately by getting him into how he felt.
I like listening too him even tho im not that interested in boxing
Speaking facts. But Ariel & mma fighting got paid to cover it & act like it was thrilla in Manila. Nate is a glorified punching bag at this point & jake has no clue how to fight on the inside. If you feint Jake he gets lost. He had a perfect opponent that stands in front of him. Fought 1 guy with boxing experience & lost. Tells you everything. Fury isn’t good. Every time he feinted Jake was clueless. If Jake just calls himself an influencer boxer that’s fine. But he’s not a fkn pro. Mma media needs stop pushing that narrative. Paydays are nice but you lose credibility. It shows your opinion can be bought.
It's a good point. I'd like to see Jake/Fury again in another year and see where he's at. He needs to be fighting consistently. Ariel does annoy me sometimes with his bias.
Facts these people treat this clown like he’s a world clsss fighter 😂😂
The MMA media, Ariel included are an embarrassment. They're so desperate for views they latch themselves onto any internet celebrity they can
It don’t make no difference who knocked who out first,wen Robert fought wilder he rushed in something he didn’t do with AJ,and AJ has sparked out quite a few people much quicker than wilder did “people wilder fought later on in his career” so it don’t make no difference,styles make fights you will get up more for a bigger puncher than you will vs someone who’s not really a big puncher,AJ now needs to stop worrying about pleasing people and do his own thing finish a fight wen he’s ready to finish it
Affiliated I love your chats with my fellow Englishman
That debacle was definitely awful. Its funny people say oh nate "won" he survived lol. He was embarrassed pretty much a one sided shut out and got knocked down to the canvas. Dude looked like he was playing patty cake. He didnt do well. He looked awful lol and it was an awful fight. Jake shoulda been able to put him out if he had technique.
Jake should of had him out of there in the 1st round from what I watched
Said the KZhead video watcher... you people have no idea what its like in there 😂
It’s hard to look good against guys with awkward/ugly styles. Look at Prograis vs zorilla for example
Nah Nate won.
Nate shd retire. That was ugly. He was a punching bag out there. He’s 38. His style has worn him down. That’s a lot of rounds of getting hit in the temple. I don’t understand the delusion his fans have of him.
20.55 for the nate stuff
i kinda agree with ariel re. are jake and logan setting up a fight together with the latest disagreements.. the only thing that makes me say no is just how legitimate the argument was between them.. it was very real.
Eddie and Ariel need a podcast together. I've watched every interview they've done together.
It was an awful fight to be fair. Diaz couldn’t crack an egg with a boxing glove on. Plus let’s remember fury was really disliked all of his career until he got off that canvas in round 12 against Wilder. AJ had a far easier time in his career than Fury from the fans.
21:00
Just as awful as Aj vs Hellanus
Clearly not as that had a KO. As if you're defending the Paul and Diaz fight. It was bollocks.
Just because he got the ko doesn't mean it's a better fight. Some people might enjoy the Paul vs Diaz fight better. I thought they both sucked.
That's was snooze until the knockout. Even the crowd were booing lol
isn't the chair of the board supposed to be an independent, non-executive director. What exactly does eddie do if he's not an executive at matchroom? Just oversight?
The chair is the chairman and the non executive director are the NEDS. hence different titles
Ariel he has never given his time to anyone ask Gareth a Davies, for years he’s said Joshua needs to do more media and a big reason people have turned on him is because everyone hates eddie
Ariel you got it so wrong about AJ leaving the ring, he didn't say he wanted to go into the back, he said he wanted to see the supporters, then he spent the next hour signing and taking pictures.
Am I having a stroke or was Ariel affecting an Irish accent at the start 'Jus' after a workout Eddie?'
Helenius isn’t 6’8 he’s similar height to AJ. Also let’s not forget Helenius took the fight on a couple of weeks notice and got KO’d a month before
Helenius is the same height as Fury...which is 6'7. Seeing as Fury likes to claim 6'9, they try and claim similar for Helenius
@e.e121 I wonder if the height is exaggerated, but Fury is DEFINITELY taller than Wilder who is apparently 6ft 7.
@@jamesrobert4106 yeah it's all exaggerated. Watch Fury vs Wallin face off - Wallin tells Fury you're not 6'9 and Fury admits he's 6'7. I reckon AJ is a solid 6'5 and Wilder somewhere in between them 2
First Eddie said it was going to be a blow out that Jake was going to wash Diaz, and he didn't. Now he's saying the fight was awful and it wasn't come on man, tbh Jake had the most explosive shots in the beginning but from round 3 and up Diaz started to walk Jake down and wear on him. Just because Diaz didn't get the knoc down or have the most explosive beginning doesn't mean he lost or the fight was awful Eddie. The judges gave it to Paul on behalf of the knoc down, and a hard beginning, Diaz landed waaaayy more punches and if u go back and watch he was landing some bangers on the inside. The diaz bros never was known for having crazy power, they do have a legendary gas tank and heart that u can't teach a fighter. Like a good American pitbull terrier aka Bull and terrier UK name for it. The fight was damn sure good of course it could've been a lil better especially on Diaz behalf I think if Diaz would've pumped the jab a lil bit more and close in like he did a few rounds earlier he could've got that fight and may even avoided the knoc down
Was about to go for dinner when he found out about Whyte? Simon Jordan said he knew Friday evening, sounds like he did!
Ariel bringing up the Paul brothers’ “drama” like 10 times a show is getting draining.
Yeah Diaz Vs Paul looked awful. Diaz didn't even know how to turn his punches over and Paul isn't as raw as he was but still he ain't beating any half serious and competent pro boxer. His wheelhouse is these MMA guys who lack boxing fundamentals because we saw against Tommy fury who's not a great pro boxer but he knew how to use a jab and move his feet a bit and he won nearly every round against Paul.
Jake was trash, Nate didn't train. Yup, it was the worst fight of the year with the highest ratings.
Jake’s fight was more entertaining than Aj’s
Best joke I’ve heard all year
Crazy but you’re absolutely right
That is a valid statement
Probably my favourite guest
It is.
Now you’re saying you were about to go to dinner when on talksport you said you found out at 2am
I’m calling it right now, the wilder Joshua fight won’t happen for at least another 3 years but honestly, probably never. This is the one fight in a long ass time I felt almost sure wouldn’t happen. Call me crazy but I think wilder pulls out last 2 weeks, two times and then it’s scrubbed forever.
Eddie is majestic
The thumbnail made me think Eddie had been captured by ISIS 😂
It was brutal, but you can at least admit that both fighters had a plan. Nate's plan was literally to make Jake blow himself out early, then start to pick away and hope to catch him. Jake wanted the KO and he didn't get it.
And you were expecting what? It played out just like I thought it would.
I hope you get all the credit you think you deserve
I like Ariel but how's he gonna bring up the Logan Jake Paul clip without saying that Logan literally says he'll never fight Jake
nate diaz is 38 year old man that has fought 35 UFC PRO fights plus more .....hes 13 years older than Jake Paul ,,,,,,,,WOW Jake you really picked a guy you thought you could easily knockout at the end of his run as a fighter......But YOU didnt even hurt Diaz ...and the knockdown was a lucky shot that Diaz recovered from quick and took the fight to Paul in fact many people gave most rounds to Diaz ....Jake has the judges on his side too because it wasnt a real good decision win .....and again Paul is Boxing but he only Fought 1 real BOXER TOMMY FURY who gave him a class and beat him without even a scratch.....so if Jake has so many skills and power Now ....how about picking guys to fight that are 1) around the same age 2) around the same weight as a fighter 3) A Pro Boxer .............Diaz is way passed his prime ....when he was THE MAN HE Whipped McGregors ass .....Paul fights any UFC fighter in his age group or even guys like Dustin Poirier (34 Years old ),,,,Justin Gaethje ( 34) and Jake Paul wouldnt last more than 2 minutes with these type of UFC oponnets.......COME ON MAN IF Nate even seriously trained not smoking joints and took the fight seriously even at 13 years age difference would of beat Jake thats why NICK DIAZ spoke up after the fight ...He basically said that ........Jake and Nate made ALOT OF MONEY BUT JAKE IS NOT Fighting anyone his age or weight and guys that are not boxers except fury so dont talk like your a badass because you lasted with Nate Diaz and also say you would of double leg take down and win a UFC fight because Nate will Choke you out in 2 minutes in a real fight......Go and get a Black belt in Jui Jitsu and fight in the UFC BIG BOY
Nate just didn't seem like he was very serious about the fight. I still want to see Nate box again.... Just to see if his iron legend chin can get KO. He has never been KO, not even josh Thomson headkick couldn't KO him. I'll pay $100 ppv to see Canelo vs Nate.. I understand Nate will get beaten to a bloody pulp but does Canelo have the will to KO Diaz is the question or will Canelo become The running man Carlos Condit style or holding on man in the last couple rounds like Jake Paul!!!??????
Ariel made dough promoting it though
Fight was not great no … but I think it was better than Joshua vs helanius?
They're the 2 biggest punchers and quickest and either of them could win. Fury quicker and he the only person to flat line wilder. Eddie use to say aj would beat wilder now uts anyone's
I thought it was perfect fight . I hate first round knock out . Waste of money . When I pay , I wana see atleast 7 rounds
Worst audio I've ever heard on this show. What was Eddie thinking?
From a boxing purist stand point I understand but from an entertainment view I don’t understand
I do wish Eddie would stop saying Helenius is 6'8" and 6'9" the other day, he is just over 6'6"
20:55 for those scrolling for the Nate stuff. It starts here.
Thanks
Ariel really has to shove this whole Francis thing down everyone’s throat. 😂
Connor is selling his appearances instead of fights. That picture where he was feeding Anthony a beer. He look like he was ageing quicker than the Diaz brothers somehow
Liquor and certain drugs age you like a MF'er bro lol
I feel bad for the people that paid money to watch the fight
Anyone who did has money to burn so no problem there
Tommy Fury did not squeek past Jake Paul Eddie, he won the fight without getting out of 2nd gear Jake never landed any meaningful punch on him.
he got knocked down though and the american commentators did their best to make it sound like it was even ^^
The undercard of AJ Helenius was pretty awful to.
This comes off like a hater anytime he's not making money with whatever fight. This idiot paid Canelo exuberant sums, all while not making the money back. He doesn't like Jake cause he's not making money off Jake. I don't particularly care for Jake but I don't dislike him either. The fight was what it was. You don't like it don't watch.
it was what it was and it wasn't a great fight in terms of quality boxing, but it's what we should all expect
@@JKarstadt neither are quality boxers what do you expect. Ones not even a boxer and the other only boxes people who aren’t boxers LOL
He was honest though, it was so... Bad
Someone that hates Jake for personal/business reasons hated it? Shocker!
Hearn doesn't hate Jake at all. They've actually got a decent working relationship.
@@eddyd63 didn't that working relationship end? Lol I haven't heard Eddie say I positive thing about Jake since. And boy does he mentioned him alot lol
@@hotfunyunsop6196 They don't work together, but they've made fights together. I'm pretty sure he praised the fact that Paul was giving boxers opportunities in this interview. Hearn's praised Jake's ability to promote himself many times. He has absolutely has said positive things about Jake Paul. But from a boxing perspective there really isn't a huge amount to praise. Paul vs retired MMA fighters is very low level boxing. What do you want people who put on championship level boxing events to say? I don't get why being objective on Jake Paul's boxing skills all of a sudden is 'hate'.
@@eddyd63 lol ok man
@@hotfunyunsop6196 Sorry if that response hurt your feelings. If Jake Paul and his fans want him to get praise for his boxing then he needs to get better at boxing.
Biased or not, Eddie is right about Diaz Paul
Eddie Hern is the man! His rhetoric and charisma are A1.. he could be a politician. The UK could use a prime minister like him. Lastly, spot on with the fury vs. Francis fight… going to be a wash. What’s the spread -1000 Fury . Laughable.
If eddie had been involved he would say different
Obviously but doesn’t make it a good fight
I saw Eddie in a steam room at lifetime fitness a little over a year ago and he never broke eye contact it was very impressive
would bang
ive never... ever... heard eddie speak that way about logan.. the way he changed the convo from jake to logan... he fully sounded like logans manager had gotten him to go pro logan.. "especially logan" wtf" lol.. seriously.. they were paid comments.
Helenius is a journeyman, served up to be knocked out, and obvious mismatch and a good example of what's wrong with boxing. It's shady guys like Hearn who profit in the end.
It was meant to be Whyte hardly shady , was never going to be a world beater having to get him in last minute
lol casual comment. name someone better thats takes the fight on a weeks notice
Still more entertaining than any other boxing match Organized 😅😅😅
This comment just told everyone with even 25% of a brain that you haven’t been watching any boxing lately. Respectfully
@vincentdigirolomo8056 You clearly don't know what the word entertaining means. I don't even think 25% of people can even say your name lol
@@vincentdigirolomo8056 The highlights in Dzn says otherwise. Alot of people watched that fight because Nate is an entertaining fighter...Nates highlights in Dazn has more views than Canelo vs tomato cans, or Garcia vs Davis, or Fury vs Paul doesn't even come close!!!!!! I will pay 100$ ppv to see Canelo vs Nate just to see if Canelo can KO Nates legendary chin since he has never been KO. Sure, Nate will get beaten to a bloody pulp but can Canelo KO Diaz is the question or will Canelo become a running man or holding on man like Jake Paul in the last rounds is the question??????
If the geico lizard was a person
He ain't wrong.
I've watched boxing for around 20 years on/off, I was very surprised by just how entertaining the Nate Jake bout was. I was very entertained, I reckon the event did boxing a solid, introducing a bunch of new fans into the game, many who may now suddenly be very interested in the levels of skill involved. As for the fight, no one was expecting a showcase, it was the KZheadr in his 6th match vs the ufc fighter in his first, we ended getting 10 rounds of fun. Nate doesn't deserve any hate, I never heard him go around making any claims throughout this whole saga, he just did his work and respected the game but it reminds me when Conor boxed, the disrespect he got from the community. Always fun to see Nate.
Wilder Will shut his 💡 lights out
No one watches the Jake fights to watch top level boxing. We want to see someone get KTFO. The fights have been horrible and disappointing-big shocker 😉
90% want Jake to GKTFO ! for sure🤦♂🤦♂🤣🤣
Agree, how bout a refund
Eddie is just as bad as Dana probably even worse but Ariel supports him. 🧐
Hell no
he's a worm
No way Eddie wants his fighters to make the most money possible csnt say the same for Dana
Eddie is a promoter who tries to do his best for his fighters, Dana is a promoter who tries to do his best for his company. They aren't the same.
not even remotely the same
This the same dude who tried to make canelo vs. berlanga 🤦🏻♂️
Because it seems like Anthony is too scared to fight his level of opponents and when he does he’s been knocked out , so all he does is fight tin cans
What can i buy with your love?
Who else doesn’t give a single f about watching Wilder vs AJ?
Eddie Hearn saying Nate was awful is a big diss since Nate is a draw and a needle mover. Nates highlights has more views in Dazn than Garcia vs Davis or Canelo vs anyone..... I would pay $100 ppv to see if Canelo can even KO Nate Diaz!!!! I bet Canelo doesn't stand a chance KOing Nate, but Nate will most likely get beaten to a bloody pulp!!!!! I'll still pay to see that. Maybe Canelo in the last rounds will become Mr running man or holding on man, like Jake paul!!!!
Im a huge Eddie fan, and have been a massive AJ nut rider, but Eddie ain’t selling AJ vs Wilder as anything other than a Wilder win by KO.
I remember when Eddie was in the business of promoting World Championship Boxing. Boxing is in the gutter right now. What other sport would behave in this way. Imagine Tennis Association canceling Wimbledon to replace it with a bunch of very average youtube celebs playing tennis. That is what boxing is doing.
Eddie loves throwing shade on jake . Didn't he sue jake paul?Did he win?
Hearn loves the Saudis, they make his job infinitely easier not having to negotiate pot splits.
Say what u will but after seeing these MMA guys go try to box, u realize how good Conor Mcgregor did against Floyd.
