Yeah, I like it. I'm really, really, really, really digging it. I'm glad you're doing it. I gotta do it, Joe. I've been wanting to do it for so long. I just, you know, and it's so crazy too because I thought that my hook would be... So my trainer basically told me I'm Southpaw. I thought I was a right-handed boxer. He's like, no, you're a left-handed boxer. Do you write with your left hand? Write with my left hand. You write with your left hand? I do everything with my left hand. But you fight with your left hand forward or your right hand forward? My right hand forward. Okay, so you fight Southpaw. Yes, yes. So I thought that my right hand was the strongest. That's what I thought. But my left hand is the strongest. But I got a killer right hook though too. But my left hook sucks. But it's all in my balance. He said, but your power is your two. Right, your straight left. Yeah. So because I was like, no, no, no, no. I was like, my power is my right hand. He said, no, it's your left hand. So we got in a fight. So he was like, what? He was... So he came charging at me. And as he was charging at me, I did this to him. He was like, you Southpaw. If you would have did this, then you would have been... Right, because you were trying to set him up for a big left hand. Right. I stopped him with that. He said, that is your jab hand. That's how I know your power coming from me. We know a lot of fighters, they would fight Southpaw even though they were right-handed. That was Oscar De La Hoya. He's right-handed, but he would fight Southpaw. So his strong hand would be forward. Okay, okay. Yeah. There's different schools of thought on that. Emmanuel Stewart did that with a lot of people. He took guys that were natural right-handed and he put them in a Southpaw stance. Because also if you're learning from a Southpaw stance, you have an advantage that most people fight Orthodox. So when you're fighting, it gives people a very... When you fight someone who's a Southpaw, it's confusing when you're boxing. Because everything's backwards. So if you're not used to it, like in the early days of boxing, but then the best guys are guys like Terrence Crawford who could just switch or Boots Ennis who just switch. They just switch. They could fight Southpaw. They could fight you Orthodox. You're like, oh Jesus. You don't know where the punches are coming from. They're coming from everywhere. Yeah, that's why you got to learn how to stick and move. Get out of there. But back in the day, that was really rare. Marvin Hagler was the great at that. He was like the most famous of all. Who was it? Marvin? Marvin Hagler. Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Yeah, he was the middleweight champion. He knocked out Tommy Hearns. I mean, Hagler in his time was a destroyer. And Hagler would fight. He would switch it up all the time. He'd fight Orthodox. He'd fight Southpaw. He can go back and forth. He would throw a punch and switch stances. It was a totally... It was very rare in Hagler's day that an elite world champion would switch stances so effortlessly. But now you got like Terrence Crawford does it. Like I said, Boots Ennis does it. Oh yeah. I don't... I ain't gonna say I can't do it. I'm saying I never have, but I might. It's a good thing to learn. If you can learn how to do things from your left side, it actually shows you how to do things better from your right side, weirdly enough. It actually helps you. I'm still learning how to write with my right hand. I can't even hold this. Yeah. I broke my arm once and I had to do that. I had to learn how to write and draw with my left hand. I mean, I think I can, but it's gonna be... It's awful. You can. But you have to teach your hand how to do it, which is so interesting. Because you would think if your left hand does it so well, your right hand would just... You would just tell your right hand to do it. But my left hand is stupid. It just doesn't listen good. My right hand is like... Exactly. I kind of like being left-handed though. It's like... You know, crazily, when I was growing up, I got bullied for being left-handed. A lot of people do. You know? It's like I was the weird one. They used to think it was satanic. Yeah. It's just like... They would tell left-handed people to not use their left hand back in the day. Now, I heard about that, but when I was in school, they didn't do that to me. But the kids would bully me... For being left-handed. For being out... Yes. That's so stupid. And for having duck feet. Do you know I look goofy, cuz? I hate boxing sometimes and watching myself, because I'm so goofy. My feet are duck feet, so... And they splay out. Yes. And I can't get them... You know, I'm trying to get them to stay straight, but when I... You know, I know what happened. I always had duck feet, but I look so goofy when I'm boxing, because I hurt my knees playing soccer. Oh. When I was in college, I was... I don't know how to play soccer, but I was, you know, playing, and I went to do a power kick, and this person blocked me, so my body went one way and my leg went the other way, and I messed my knee up, so... I just look goofy when I'm boxing, but... I might could use that as an advantage. They were like, look at this goofy footed bitch. Then I get in there and I whack somebody. But I can do it, and I love it. So you're really thinking about fighting? It seems like you've got a plan in your head. Yeah. Because you're saying... You're like painting scenarios where people underestimate you and you fuck them up. Like, so, in my mind, you're thinking about this. I've been thinking about it for a long time. Really? Mm-hmm. Okay, have one. Please don't have a lot. Don't get your head breaking. I really wanna do celebrity boxing. Who would you wanna fight? I... I don't know. You wanna call somebody out? I probably will. Smiley, my dog. Sam J, what's up, bitch? Let's fight. Uh... Do you think that... Like, how much time would you need to prepare for something like that? Um... Mm-hmm. A month. That's it? Really? I'm telling you, I'd be out here. You're doing a lot? How often are you boxing? If I could do... If I can just, like, box six days a week for... A month? 24 days, you know? You ready to fuck somebody up? Hell, yeah. Fucking right. I believe you. I'll fuck somebody up. Short fingernails. No need to... I would like to fight my peers, the people that I love. Now. Really? Why? Now, I could... I don't know. Why do you wanna hurt them? Just because it's fun. Which is, you know, just, like, messing around like kids, you know? Just messing around with my partners and shit. But I do be thinking about starting beef with people just to, like... Just to fuck them up? Yeah. Really? Yeah. Don't do that. Yeah. Especially now that you're on TV. Look, I see... Man, look, I be watching Clarissa Fields. Oh. I'm like, that's a big fucking... Clarissa Shields. Yeah. What'd I say? Clarissa Fields. So, Mikey Davey making fun of me, because I get everybody named from... That's Joey Diaz's move. There's entire videos of him saying people's names. And I say it with confidence, too. Of course. You're like, what? It's what Joey does, too. He calls Steepy Meocha Steopik. He calls him Steopik. He called Khabib Nurmagomedov. He used to call him Kalabib. Yeah. The fucking Kalabib gets ahold of you. Yeah. The Kalabib? Yeah, Kalabib. He's called... Kalabib. Yeah. Yeah. I do have a name problem. I'm gonna get it together. But that's a big... She big. That... Her, I wouldn't wanna fight her. You ever heard of Ann Wolf? Oh, is that... Like, ain't she old now? Yes. Ann Wolf, she used to be a trainer. She was training people after she fought. And what's his name? Kirk... James Kirk... The guy, he fought Canelo. Yeah, yeah. She's a psycho. Yeah, I wouldn't wanna fight her. She had the most vicious one- Right here. Boom. Right there. One of the most vicious one-punch KO in women's boxing. Look at that. And she did a little dance after us. That was... I mean, they had talked to gang shit before that fight. And unfortunately, she talked to gang shit to the wrong lady. Because, you know, Ann Wolf had, like, legit one-punch KO power. Yeah. James Kirkland, that's who it was. And who eventually went on to fight Canelo. But watch this. Look at them arms. Oh, my God. But it's also the skill. She's setting up this overhand right. Looking at her day and eyes. Mm-hmm. Measure, measure. Mm-hmm. And then she comes forward, two predictably. Boom! Slip. Oh, my goodness. Knockout. She's, like, one of the greatest one-punch KOs of all time. Phenomenal. I mean, that's an amazing punch. Look how jacked she was, too. But that's one thing. I don't want to get too jacked. Because my problem is, I start doing too much arm work. I'll get jacked. Yeah? Yeah. Jacked. Hard jacked. That's why I keep my hair. Because if I cut it all off, I'm gonna look like a man. I was like, I don't want to be... I don't want to look... I had to chill out for a second, because I don't want to get that jacked. I still want to be a little cute.
