    October!! I’m so happy with the continual growth. What I admire is that from the very start you approached interviewing from an angle which isn’t like the majority of journalists (click bait). Always feels like you are invested In getting to know the person and situation rather than a reaction.
    Not been as active on CZcams but know that I appreciate and support people like you.
    Ps, Craig is a cool cat. He got this. Hutchinson comes across extremely anxious. Great convo ✊🏾

      @@OctoberRedMedia I wish I was able to jump on the lives but time is more limited.
      Craig seems a very reassured person.
      This 5vs5 has loads of 50/50 where you can give arguments for both sides. This one though I favour Craig more due to Hutchinson not having very good defensive awareness. His fast and sharp offensively but he never brings his hands back to “hold the phone” he replies on his reflexes. He got knocked out by Clark by this.
      I see Craig dictating a tempo which will force Hutchinson to be more defensive which is his weakness.

    3:50 can't expect loyalty from eddie hearn tbh. This is the same guy who literally a few weeks ago was trashing wilder calling him overrated etc and now is his his captain and eddies clearly gagging to sign him. Same with dissing frank and now best mates. I can't fault him because its all business but you can't expect any integrity or honesty from eddie since everything he does is from a business point of view and not genuine.

    Don't think it should be cut out or swept under the rug. If he said some wild racial shite he ought to be dragged for it. Equally it's a big accusation for Craig to be making & you'd think Willy would want to clear the air? Seems to be doubt over whether what was said was truly racial? Knowing how stuff works in 2024 if there's doubt socials would probably turn on Craig for accusing him on live tv. Presser will be interesting unless they both decide to let it go? Anyhow, Craig smokes Willy, the guys a clown & awful boxer in the pro game.
