This is
2:31
not pretend.
2:32
Best thing is, too, you're wearing puffies.
2:34
Yeah.
2:35
So it's not those actual 4-ounce gloves.
2:38
6-ounce.
2:39
Yeah, so...

of houses.
2:40
How did you get all your boys in the box?
2:43
Nah, I didn't even want them to fight.
2:45
Everybody asked me, did you want your kids to fight? I said, no.
2:49
And then they go, what? My compadre Frankie baby goes, champ, you don't want your kids to fight? I go, no.
2:55
He goes, okay, who's going to tell your kids they can't be like their dad? Because I'm not going to tell them.
3:00
When they told me like that, I said, when they started, when we moved to Vegas and I opened up my gym, they wanted to start training.
3:09
I said- Let them.

It don't work, right? So for a
34:24
Hola, Fernando
34:24
Por la entrevista.
34:26
E-efectivamente, Ciro, yo el día de ayer me dedico prácticamente todo el día de recuperar mis documentos, entre ellos mi comunicación, mi celular, eh, revisando los mensajes, eh, al mediodía, eh, viendo las reacciones y el tema mediático que causó mi, mi situación, mi asalto a mano armada en Temixco, que quedó grabada en video.
34:47
Eh, sí, se pusieron en contacto conmigo vía WhatsApp, una señorita, em, eh, con un poco más de empatía, eh, y pues dejando sus datos para que yo me pusiera en contacto con, con ellos, ¿no? Temas más, temas menos en el texto, pues un poco más de empatía en cuanto a la situación.
35:05
Eh, Ciro, eh, soy un periodista profesional.
35:09
No sé si tuviste oportunidad de analizar el mensaje del comunicado que lanza la Fiscalía.
35:15
Primero, estoy muy preocupado porque dicen que van a tomar en seriedad, con seriedad mi tema.
39:26
Difícilmente pensar que si tú no te presentas, si tú no haces las gestiones, la Fiscalía vaya a salir a buscar a estas personas, ¿no? Entendemos tu posición, pero se las pones fácil a las autoridades y a los criminales.
32:57
Hola, Fernando.
32:57
Gracias, gracias por el espacio.
33:00
Eh, pues hoy te puedo decir que ya en una tensa calma.
33:03
Fueron cerca de veinticuatro horas de, de terror, Ciro, Manuel, lo que, lo que viví en carne propia.
33:09
No solamente yo, mis hijos, Fer y Leo, de ocho y diez años, y mi esposa, que me acompañaban.
33:17
Eh, dentro de las cosas que me gustaría aclarar y que, pues bueno, todavía sigo medianamente incomunicado, porque no he podido recuperar ni celular, tarjetas, credenciales, es, eh, dejar claro que iba con mi familia.
33:29
Yo venía de un par de días de descanso, de estar en, en el estado.
34:46
Nueve de la noche.
12:35
Everybody said that.
12:36
The O.
12:36
Everyone wants Floyd money.
12:37
The O.
12:37
But-
12:38
The O.
12:38
Hey, Pretty Boy Floyd, that, that, that guy was different.
16:25
This fight, does it go the distance? Somebody getting, somebody, somebody, somebody go take, to touch the canvas?
2:47
What are your expectations of this fight, and how does Crawford solve this puzzle?
2:52
I love both of them.
2:55
Crawford, we're very cordial with one another.
2:59
Whenever we see each other, we hug.
3:03
He's a good dude.
3:05
Same way of Canelo.
3:07
But there's weight classes for a reason.

10 MINS LATER

13:13
I don't know
3:42
How long were you in jail? And then as you sat there, what kind of thoughts did you have? Did you ever think that you would be in a situation like you're in this week?
3:50
Never in my, uh, wildest dreams did I think I'd be co-main eventing a Canelo card, Allegiant Stadium kicking off Netflix.
3:57
You know, I made a mistake in my life and, uh, me being in there, I would have certain people tell me like, "Hey, bro, like, you don't belong in here." You know? I don't come from that lifestyle.
4:06
It's never anything that I portrayed to be or want to go after.
4:09
I made a mistake and, um, you know, I had to sit down for a little bit and, um, while I was in there, uh, I did 13 months and, um, when I got out I was like, "I have to box." Like, "I have to." I was always an athlete growing up.
4:22
I got out, my dad opened up a show, Welcome to Las Vargas, and I just wanted to go in there just to stay fit.
4:28
My dad would throw me in there to spar, bop, bop.
6:05
thing.All right, so when you look at this fight, is winning the fight enough or do you have to win the fight a certain way?
