I found those comments about Sal Sanchez interesting because many of us rate Sanchez very high in the skill department, but apparently Reynoso doesn't think he's amongst the most skilled Mexican fighters. He said he had great "resistance", but that he prefers to learn from other Mexican fighters like Gilberto Roman, Ricardo Lopez, Miguel Canto.
I wish they had ditched the football guy, he's an OK bro as far as it goes but he just doesn't have the life experience and emotional depth to keep up with what goes on. The SRL episode was an example, where the two boxers shared their experience of childhood sexual trauma and you got to see how SRL had processed it and grown and was trying to explore some of that with Tyson who, 50 years of chaos later, is still fundamentally a scared child. It's a good thing for him that he's not able to go to that level, but his presence was a bit of a wet blanket on the kind of conversation you don't hear often. A lot of the guests seem slightly uncomfortable with him. Jim Gray was very heavily suggesting that he saw him as just another guy feeding Mike drugs to get in the spotlight and the more I think about it the more I see it. It's a seriously good podcast though, but very heavy.
Mike Tyson sounds more coherent here after an 8 round exhibition fight than he does sitting on a couch doped out of his head. This content is protected The different is night and day. Stay f*cking sober you idiot.
