We were just talking about Hagler before the podcast started and how crazy it is that he's gone. I just can't believe it. I thought that guy, he was so disciplined. When I was a kid, I remember I talked about it in this Instagram post that I made. They had some profile of him. I think he was preparing for a Mustafa ham show. He was running on the beach. That's what I was going to ask you about. I remember watching you and Tyson was on the podcast. He was running into the snow screaming, war. I was trying to find it all week for five weeks. I wish I could find it. You know where it is? I couldn't find nowhere. I'm looking forward to it. No one can find it. I've been tapping in war in the YouTube. There are threads about, I heard Rogan talk about it. I can't find it nowhere. I'm not trying to find it. Some local news show. I was probably like 15. I remember just watching it going. He was doing set ups and push ups. He was just so disciplined. Nobody was more conditioned than Hagler. Nobody. When he fought Mugabe, he just kept the heat on him. Just kept the heat on him. Fuck that fight was crazy. Mugabe was putting people to sleep. I remember I was working at this boxing gym and they were talking about Mugabe long before he fought Hagler. Everybody fought this dude and gained brain damage. He knocked him out and he was like the guy was never the same again. There's certain guys that just have punching power that's just out of this world. Mugabe was one of them. Do you remember Julian Jackson? No, I don't think so. Fuck. Julian Jackson was another one. He had this, they called him the Hawk. He had this crazy punching power. I mean he looked like a solid guy, but for whatever reason, when that guy would touch people they would just stiffen up. Julian Jackson is one of the most ferocious power punchers ever in the history of boxing. Yeah, I love Hagler. I've watched him all week which is weird, right? Because I haven't watched Hagler for like about a year, two years. I haven't watched him, but for some reason I felt that energy last week, fight week. So from Sunday to when I got to Vegas, I was watching him, watching him, watching him. I was posting on Instagram, even posting on my Instagram all week. I was posting him and then just before I left to go to the Apex, I was watching his fights and I went to my room to have a little unrest. Then I got a message that I glistened. I was like, man, I just posted him like an hour ago. That's fucking crazy. It's crazy. Yeah, but like I said, he's disciplined in the way he worked and that's inspiration to me. I watched his documentary. He said his first 30 fights, he didn't get paid no more than like, he said like $12,000 or something. Because there was no like, no one wants to fight him, you know, and just I took inspiration from that. You know what else I love? He got out on top. He's like, I'm done. I tried to get a rematch with Sugary Leonard. Sugary Leonard said no. I fought one dot fire as well. I did too. I fought one when I watched it. It was a split decision, right? I think it was. And so he just said, good, I'm done. That's it. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done.
