just cringe-worthy when I I see family
2:43
members at the fight because you could
2:45
get hurt like do your family members I
2:47
mean you guys been a fighting family for
2:48
a long time but they don't get concerned
2:50
nah man I mean mom's got to be moms
2:53
because you know she she's seen us
2:55
fighting all our my whole life you know
2:57
our career as an amateur I know she

3:04
um everybody but but they know this is
3:06
what we do this is what we do yeah you
3:08

3:10
what it's about let's talk about this
3:12
right now it's going down let's
3:14
talk about it man Canelo Alvarez bro I
3:17
ease this is your biggest fight correct
3:19
right this is this is for the Legacy I
3:21
think you guys secured your legacy as
3:23
the Charlo Brothers but still there's
3:25
more to do but this is the fight that's
3:28
that's really um gonna catapult your
3:31
visibility to a whole nother level I may
3:34
understand how well of a boxer you are
3:36
I've seen you fight through adversity
3:38
that last fight with castano
3:40
um I thought it was incredible I watched
3:42
you adjust it was just like a bash I was
3:44
going at it to me that brought out the
3:46
some of the best of your of your
3:47
fighting ability but this is something
3:49
different how do you approach Canelo
3:52
Alvarez like what are your thoughts
3:53
about this
3:55
um I think it's uh all about like being
3:57
sharp it's listening to the team the
3:59
coaches and and really preparing myself
4:03
um day in day out I think I'll you know
4:05
sometimes I feel like Fighters make
4:06
mistakes when they're overly focused
4:08
okay you know what I'm saying and some
4:09
Fighters make you know come out great
4:11
whenever they're overly focused but I'm
4:13
just a guy to just let life go by every
4:15
day we're getting closer to the night of
4:17
the fight and and what Canelo ever is
4:19
you know it's something that we just
4:20
gotta really lock in as a team as a
4:22
group and it's not me doing it by myself
4:24
you know it's a lot it's all of us it's
4:26
it's from the the body bag holders every
4:29
body the movement the steps the the idea
4:33
of becoming Victorious everybody has to
4:36
had it and on his team like you know I
4:38
what would you do to beat Canelo and
4:41
this is this is something that we all
4:42
put our minds to and and this is how we
4:44
win who's the team now I you know I got
4:46
I got Derek James okay Derek James is in
4:49
the building by the way get that man a
4:51
round of applause man congratulations to
4:53
you and all your success absolutely put
4:55

5:00
brother okay I I got Derek James I got
5:04
um Juan Guzman uh-huh wow which is for
5:06
another legend in the game um and then I
5:09
got uh you know uh Kevin Eric you which
5:12
is a body bag guy and uh he he does the
5:15
the target bag you know a big guy these
5:17
are my big guys now uh Titus
5:19
um Titus Adams which is another guy that
5:22
holds a shield bag so we we got a bunch
5:24
of uh stuff like that we got Dr Lou
5:27
um I got a little Brent which is an
5:29
artist actually
5:30
um but a slash personal assistant then I
5:32
got my lady who also uh shy and she she
5:36
handles a lot of the behind the scenes
5:38
stuff protein making sure everything
5:39
good the food all that all of that okay
5:42
so you got the right team ready I got a
5:43
big team how what is the weight that you
5:45
guys are fighting man we fighting at 168
5:47
14 pounds heavier than that oh my gosh
5:49
yes I'm going I'm going uh there to be
5:52
great there you go man there's some food
5:54
I got earlier
5:56
okay let me know
5:59
that's what it takes though right right
6:01
that's what it takes uh I'm assure you
6:04
you sparred with people his size and
6:06
bigger right right all the time even
6:08
before
6:09
um because I'm a heavy hitter at 154 so
6:11
I got a far bigger uh spawn Partners
6:13
just so I don't you know they can last
6:15
throughout Campbell some people get
6:17
dropped and they don't come back or you
6:19
know it'd be tough like that yeah so uh
6:22
moving up in weight being stronger being
6:24
faster and and you never know what can
6:26
happen with the spawn partner so yeah we
6:28
spawn bigger guys yeah is a small guy
6:30
himself though you know he come from
6:32
147. you know he fought at 154. yeah
6:35
we're supposed to run into each other
6:36
then but God got a plan and this is the
6:38
plan this is the plan right here how how
6:40
close did y'all come to fighting then
6:42
though in the past wait it was it could
6:44
have got a little bit closer um when I I
6:47
was with I was signed with the same
6:49
promotional company
6:50
um uh Golden Boy promotions at a younger
6:53
age and
6:54
um that didn't work out we didn't ever
6:55
get the fight then and you know when he
6:58
he jumped on the right team right now
7:00
and it all worked its way out now he's a
7:02
PPC fighter and uh
7:05
I don't know I'm I'm here for you you're
7:07
here for Jamel Charles was here man all
7:09
right now it was supposed to be your
7:11
brother initiative yeah who said what
7:14
like who approached you like you know my
7:16
brother been dealing with whatever he's
7:17
been dealing with what is he dealing
7:19
with though I know some like some um you
7:20
know just a lot of battle and back and
7:22
forth I think he got like uh you know uh
7:25
his you know a wife of 10 years giving
7:27
him some hell and they're fighting for
7:29
the kids and it was a uh just a mental
7:32
thing yeah in a mental battle so yeah
7:35
um once my My name got brought up and
7:37
approached I'm a warrior I'm gonna go
7:39
dog telling me to go fight for the
7:41
family
7:42
do what I gotta do talk that yeah
7:45
yeah I accomplished that already so
7:47
I want to go accomplish more what else
7:49
is it for me to do in the game of boxing
7:50
other than move up and so another way
7:52
why not go up a little eight more pounds
7:54
and get ready and grab the greatest
7:55
fighter there okay I love that man
7:57
um are you going to split the purse with
7:59
your brother at all you're gonna give
8:00
him a little something no no he got to
8:02
get in the room
8:12
yeah will you stay at that weight
8:15
um I mean I'll be the champion there so
8:17
I gotta do what I gotta do but I mean if
8:19
I gotta go down because I heard Terence
8:20
Crawford want some smoke oh you know
8:22
we're gonna get to that I'm gonna go get
8:23
it from everybody what they want you
8:25
know we couldn't wait to talk about it
8:27
I'm trying to walk you up well they
8:29
could come they walking up to my weight
8:30
division I'm the king got 154. that's
8:33
right so if you know you're calling out
8:35
my my number I'm gonna go I'm gonna
8:36
answer to you you want that but Terence
8:39
talk to you during the expense
8:40
fight was that true he was talking about
8:42
yeah while he was in the ring right he
8:45
was talking to you bro disrespectful
8:50
that's disrespectful but it is what it
8:52
is yeah hey he let him enjoy his victory
8:55
and what he would he did you talk back
8:57
did you yell back at him I mean he
8:58
wasn't gonna be able to hear me anyway
9:00
that place was rocking what did you
9:02
think of that fight uh it was cool it
9:03
was uh you know they I feel like they
9:06
both trained their ass off yeah I feel
9:07
like uh the better man won you know I
9:09
think that Earl Spence uh gotta take
9:12
some time off and he probably trained
9:14
really hard that fight be with his
9:16
family and and um see what's next and
9:17
see if you get the rematch if he don't
9:19
uh they move up in weight divisions I I
9:22
think Earl should definitely move up
9:23
okay not be at 147 no more struggling to
9:26
make that wait and stuff and yeah it'll
9:28
be a different fight were you impressed
9:29
by Terrence this is a victory at all as
9:32
a boxer just as a fan of boxing
9:34
um I say no because it wasn't like he
9:37
had to go and bring out a trip wow he
9:40
didn't bring no tricks out he just you
9:42
know he just he didn't really go into
9:44
the bag or really get into adversity in
9:46
that fight it was just a a dominant win
9:48
okay
9:50
um I want to go back um to Canelo
9:52
Alvarez and when you win this match
9:54
right okay let's just work from that
9:57
moment let's work from there
9:59
would you because Benavides is up there
10:02
golovkin's up there you got some really
10:04
powerful legendary benavidez is waiting
10:07
man he's chomping that debate right now
10:08
he just want to fight anybody he like
10:10
y'all y'all couldn't get fights you
10:12
know he can't get fights right right
10:13
would you stay there though for That
10:15
Glory
10:16
um it all depending on what my team want
10:18
me to do you know because I'm I'm I I do
10:20
need to get my hands wet a little bit
10:22
more into the division of course I'm
10:23
going for the greatest in there I'll be
10:25
there I'll be an all-time great era of
10:27
you know in this era so
10:29
winning that man who knows man like make
10:32
them pull up Roy Jones and go to 200 do
10:34
it James Tony who knows I'm down for
10:36
whatever don't do that man don't go up
10:37
there
10:39
I show how well that worked out
10:41
but then you know coming back down
10:44
Terence Crawford what did y'all rivalry
10:47
start like did it start in the in the
10:49
gym when did it start well I mean it's
10:52
just you know calling us out I felt like
10:54
that's where it started I mean he got
10:56
mad because I rocked with my dog Earl
10:57
and of course we stable mates I'm gonna
10:59
go with my dog Earl yeah but then once
11:01
you start barking up talking about I'm
11:02
coming up to 154 to beat your mail so
11:04
I'm hey I'm gonna go I'm gonna put it on
11:07
the line though hey watch your mouth now
11:10
you know you still got his own words
11:12
that you need to take okay running from
11:14
them for yeah when I started saying that
11:15
they thought oh you scared you didn't
11:17
I'm not scared of nobody I'm here to
11:19
fight but you know you know you got some
11:20
young studs like Jitter
11:22
you know Jaron and that's his name and
11:25
then he had Earl Spencer and you know he
11:27
he fought some Warriors he fought some
11:29
fights you know I don't know do you
11:31
think he's worthy to fight you at 154 or
11:33
you know do you feel like he needs to
11:35
put more
11:36
can he I mean I feel like he could jump
11:38
up to 154 and be competitive
11:40
um
11:41
after I win this fight with Canelo yeah
11:43
nah like after I win this fight I'm I'm
11:45
I mean we we're the top two best
11:47
fighters in the world so I mean it's a
11:50
possibility but you know I gotta see
11:52
what's next for me after this I don't
11:54
really know I know Terence Crawford
11:55
could I I'm down to fight though I want
11:57
to fight I want to show him shut him up
11:59
and he little his small dude I'm big I'm
12:02
not a like I'm not having that
12:04
you're not having it no Jamel Charles HP
12:06
come on does it ever get personal
12:08
because one thing I learned watching
12:10
boxing now
12:12
um it's the box it's the business of it
12:14
you know every time us as fans we want
12:17
to just see the next fight like I saw
12:19
you and Bud going back and forth I'm
12:21
like yo they fighting next I asked Bud
12:22
that
12:23
um but I understand it's a business and
12:25
it's a process like how all of these
12:27
fights work but does it ever get
12:29
personal because you just said I ain't
12:31
having that that sounds personal
12:32
but does it ever get that way for you
12:35
when you're in the ring or it's just
12:36
always business well I'm so passionate
12:38
in the sport and I I care so much about
12:41
you know how I look and my performances
12:43
and my children watching and all of this
12:45
kind of stuff so it's definitely
12:47
personal I train I train myself I gotta
12:49
wake up and sacrifice and suffer and go
12:51
through so much to to be where I'm at I
12:54
have to be personal I can't be one of
12:55
those guys that just like whatever
12:57
happens happens I'm not the type of
12:59
person you know so
13:01
um same thing everybody got families man
13:03
everybody got something that they got to
13:04
feel so it's like it's it's important
13:06
for me to sit back and and pay attention
13:08
but it is a business and I know what
13:10
Earl Spence got to do and I know they
13:12
got to get a rematch and and uh that got
13:15
to happen and I got my fish different
13:18
you said fish fry that's right yeah
13:20
we're not saying it we're not saying
13:21
that no more okay I'm gonna say that's
13:23
what TV says
13:30
I'm from the south so we you know we we
13:33
do all of that kind of you can't
13:35
say that no more never no no no but you
13:39
got your business to handle yeah I got
13:40
my business to handle and I know Earl uh
13:42
gotta go get his rematch in so that if
13:45
it comes down the line that'll happen
13:46
I'm really focused on Canelo though
13:47
absolutely one of my biggest things that
13:49
I want to you know make the world
13:51
understand because I you know this is
13:52
something that's you know straw for I
13:55
wanted this years ago when I was younger
13:57
and I know that that it just didn't work
13:59
its way out now it's here yeah so now
14:01
I'm ready you know like I'm I'm doing
14:03
everything I can the narrative for a
14:05
split second was people were saying
14:07
Canelo wouldn't fight black Fighters I
14:10
didn't think that was you know accurate
14:12
what are your thoughts on that no I
14:13
don't think yeah right this this dude I
14:16
think could fight anybody who's standing
14:17
in front of them he's gonna probably be
14:19
the hardest person to ever hit you uh
14:22
yeah I guess I mean yeah
14:25
it's a bigger weight yeah yeah but I I
14:28
don't care about that like that's I'm
14:30
not getting hit you know okay yeah my
14:32
job is not to get in there and uh
14:34
observe his best punches but I might be
14:36
the hardest hit that he get that I might
14:38
give him the hardest punch that's right
14:40
that's right don't sleep on my power I'm
14:42
never gonna sleep on the Charlo brother
14:43
man I get it you know all right I'm with
14:45
it Tracy G yo this actually plays off of
14:48
what Heather was saying um this is kind
14:50
of random but the song Hustler's
14:52
ambition from 50 from his debut album
14:54
and there's a part where he says um I
14:57
need you to hate so I can use it for you
14:59
for my fuel and I wonder like in boxing
15:03
because there is such an emphasis on the
15:06
talking Beyond like any other sport
15:07
that I see anyway is it possible to
15:11
fight without having to feel this anger
15:15
because for the average person when
15:16
they're fighting they're fighting
15:17
because you pissed me the off you
15:19
know what I mean there's rage is Rage
15:22
wired to kill it in the ring no no that
15:25
kill instincts don't come from Rage it
15:26
just come from being um
15:28
you got to be smart in the ring you
15:30
can't use your your emotions while
15:32
you're fighting certain shots get landed
15:35
that's just what it is you know it's the
15:38
name of the game you're going you're in
15:39
there you're gonna get hit so it's like
15:41
you can't you can't be angry and all
15:43
right that'll distract you that'll throw
15:45
you off okay so then in that same regard
15:47
not this fight but in the past any time
15:51
that you had lost does it feel super
15:54
embarrassing because it's only two
15:56
people on the ring it's such a masculine
15:59
sport you have a wild audience again all
16:01
this talking or are you able to
16:03
really take it with humility and move on
16:06
that's what you got to do you gotta tune
16:08
them out you know and I don't I have a
16:10
loss on my record but it was real
16:12
controversial
16:13
you know what I mean yeah and you
16:15
Revenge it yeah and I knocked out yeah
16:18
so um I ain't never been on that end
16:20
until I gotta I could really answer that
16:21
question about the the fans you know as
16:24
long as you put up a good fight I feel
16:25
like you always get to learn that you
16:27
deserve wow I mean so long as you get in
16:29
there and you be with what you say you
16:31
are and the best man wins Lord yeah come
16:34
on Jamel Charlie was here get big round
16:36
The champ is here
16:38
Undisputed The champ is here we got
16:41
Chris from Cali on the line Chris go
16:43
ahead what up Chris hey Chris
16:46
what's up what's up
16:49
yeah yeah so uh what's up Jamail what up
16:52
with it
16:53
what's up man hey so my question was uh
16:55
after you get this W and I'm gonna take
16:58
some slack to this cause I'm going
16:59
against the grain but uh uh once you get
17:02
this W are you gonna go and stay at 168
17:05
fight try to fight benavidez are you
17:08
gonna go back down handle business with
17:10
Tim zoo and then and then Crawford
17:13
I'm gonna listen to my team and I'm
17:15
gonna do whatever they tell me you know
17:16
I gotta go fight whoever I'm I'm at the
17:18
top you know it's a bunch of guys below
17:21
me so I'm gonna fight whoever I'm gonna
17:22
fight whoever they put in front of me
17:24
um because that's what it is once you
17:25
get to the top area you can't worry
17:27
about who next you just gotta fight you
17:29
talked about thank you Chris you're a
17:30
citizen you talked about it in the
17:32
morning boy how do you like and it
17:35
didn't it didn't turn out the way you
17:36
had hoped it what what didn't work and
17:39
what do you look for when you find a
17:41
team uh that's that's a good question
17:43
because when I was with Golden Boy
17:45
Golden Boy
17:46
um you know is uh prominent Hispanic
17:49
Latino Mexican
17:51
um Corporation so when I was with them I
17:54
felt like I was fighting if it wasn't
17:56
for them you know they put me in there
17:58
with tough fights my whole upbringing
18:00
you know I thought uh Demetrius Hopkins
18:03
which was Bernard Hopkins nephew what
18:05
Bernard Hopkins is a partner of that
18:07
company
18:08
I was against the odds most of the time
18:10
I fought
18:11
um so because of that that's what pushed
18:14
me and got my career in a in a running
18:17
position to be it at the top you know
18:19
but you know it was it was things that
18:21
fights like the Canelo fight that didn't
18:23
happen
18:24
um I could have fought Miguel Cotto on
18:26
his last fight out and that would have
18:28
just started rocking me to the top and
18:30
then I would boom my career uh it's but
18:32
it's just you know when you're looking
18:34
for a team you're looking for people
18:35
that's gonna think as you and and make
18:38
power moves you know I got Al Haymon
18:40
yeah that's the main guy yeah that's the
18:42
best guy in the business when he says
18:44
this man you gotta just give applies for
18:46
Al Hayman you just gotta you gotta pla
18:48
you gotta clap when you hear Al Hammond
18:50
Al Haymon has put on the best fights and
18:53
shows this year that I think boxing has
18:57
experience in the last 20 years yeah and
19:00
I'm like wow like what's what are you up
19:01
to like yo this is crazy you had Javonte
19:04
and Ryan fight that was incredible right
19:06
yeah you got benefits and Plant Farm you
19:08
know then you got Earl and Crawford for
19:10
like that's enough in one year yeah like
19:12
you would everything else you just get
19:14
the small fights and you'll still say
19:16
that this was a great year now you got
19:17
Jamil Charlotte and Canelo Alvarez two
19:19
Undisputed Fighters wow fighting on on
19:22
the PBC platform great Al Haymon is a is
19:26
a masterpiece come on man I love it I
19:28
love it man Jamel Charles here I'm gonna
19:30
take a couple of calls Derek I want to
19:32
say uh come in I want to commend you on
19:34
the work you do in the in the awards you
19:37
won man no absolutely man and and what
19:40
an excellent what a great fight that you
19:43
guys have with Earl uh Spence Jr and
19:45
Crawford man and I'm curious too being a
19:48
trainer uh what what happens when when a
19:52
fighter doesn't win how did how do you
19:55
as a trainer navigate that what is it
19:57
that you'll say to a to a fighter like
19:59
bro you know first of all it's not
20:00
something that I'm accustomed to yeah
20:02
this is true but but at the same time I
20:05
think that
20:06
you just have to um be honest with them
20:08
talk to them
20:10
and reassure him in the sense that just
20:13
let him know you know we'll be better
20:15
next time if that diabetic case will be
20:17
better next time what about for yourself
20:20
though do the trainer got to go sit and
20:22
I said with a therapist or go stare out
20:24
at the water what do you got to do well
20:26
you know what's funny is man it's like
20:28
you can't be dismissive right but at the
20:30
same time after that fight the next day
20:32
I had to fly to London yeah that's right
20:34
with Joshua Joshua yeah and then he
20:37
fought Saturday now I had to fly Monday
20:40
to New York she was like you really
20:42
don't have time now
20:43
you gotta compartmentalize everything
20:45
but at the same time you really don't
20:46
have time to be in the space where you
20:48
doubt yourself or you're upset even
20:50
though you know I've been arrow for like
20:52
15 16 years yeah and you feel it and you
20:55
know it's there but you still gotta keep
20:57
pushing cause you got a whole team you
20:59
got everybody else you gotta get ready
21:01
and get prepared so you can't stay in
21:03
that same space so it's like you gotta
21:05
hold on to it have it and just keep it
21:08
moving and it's still there you're
21:09
still there right what do you think Earl
21:11
could have done differently to probably
21:13
yield a different result now that you
21:14
reflect back I think that you know it's
21:17
something private because we'll do it in
21:19
the next one so I see what you mean you
21:20
can't tell all the secrets
21:22
and if you know so yeah you know yeah
21:25
okay I appreciate you man yeah
21:27
absolutely and what you do man you got a
21:29
magnificent career you're working with
21:31
all these amazing boxers I want to see
21:33
what happens with Ryan how he looking
21:35
looking good man doing good man he's
21:37
very uh he's really a nice kid he's
21:39
really a good nice kid everybody messes
21:43
really well so it's everything and it's
21:45
good man everybody messes really well
21:47
okay that's what's up they never really
21:49
around each other all the time uh-huh
21:51
but you know each everybody get their
21:53
two hours or whatever so I'm in the gym
21:55
all day what did you think I think it
21:57
was Stephen A Smith said he thought Earl
21:59
should retire what do you think of that
22:01
one you think that I mean put it like
22:03
this you gotta think about this like
22:04
boxers of boxers different type of
22:06
people MMA fighters different type of
22:09
people right but he's speaking from a
22:11
regular individual yeah so when they say
22:13
like the coach is softer today Ali got
22:16
beat by Frasier yeah and one they didn't
22:20
ask him to retire yeah right Kim Norton
22:22
Ray Leonard lost uh Durant and ask him
22:26
to retire they have people have bad days
22:29
bad so it's like you know yeah Mike
22:31
Tyson lost the bus to Douglas that's
22:32
right yeah that's right
22:34
so it's like I think that but today
22:36
people are like
22:38
so much more emotional
22:41
so yeah man it was it wasn't his day
22:44
that day but that don't mean you know
22:46
it's like
22:47
tomorrow won't be a day yeah because
22:49
he's had 28 good days yeah yeah I mean
22:52
that's a good point 30 31 what's your
22:54
record 30 what 35. right yeah he had 35
22:58
good days so he's saying the one for oh
22:59
so it's like life is what it is man
23:03
if you can if you think you're gonna
23:04
wake up and have a good day every day
23:05
hey man you crazy yeah
23:09
but the thing about it is you have to be
23:11
able to persevere through that bad day
23:13
push through that bad day because you
23:15
know on the next side it's gonna be
23:17
another good day you're gonna make it a
23:18
good day so say yes I want you to be in
23:20
my trainer I was thinking the same thing
23:22
dude I might come to the gym soon
23:35
thank you I appreciate that man he's a
23:38
Believer what a hell of a coach right
23:40
here right
23:42
go ahead yo speaking of the gym I'm so
23:45
glad you said that because it had me
23:46
thinking I was thinking about that
23:48
famous quote by Usain Bolt he was like
23:50
yo I trained four years to run nine
23:52
seconds right and I'm thinking about
23:54
what a boxer has to go through to go
23:56
through just to train through to get
23:58
through the 12 rounds so to speak but
24:00
how do you come down like after the win
24:02
or even dealing with to me that
24:05
ridiculous one loss how do you come down
24:08
for now you have to decompress some kind
24:10
of way even with the big win never mind
24:12
the losses but you have to find this
24:14
quiet space to decompress no that's a
24:16
that's a really solid question again
24:18
y'all coming y'all come in with that
24:20
heat today so look
24:22
like like I got a I got a friend that's
24:25
that's in the building right here his
24:26
name Kevin right what's Kevin right
24:28
there okay
24:31
doing with the shades on in broad
24:33
daylight yeah
24:36
so Kevin is my my target guy he know how
24:39
to operate the system he do the boxing
24:41
but I thought when you always got that
24:44
we back friends you know yeah right now
24:46
he's a coaching and everything and you
24:48
know he's been with me since fifth sixth
24:50
grade
24:54
and when you got people like that they
24:57
come and keep it real with you about
24:58
your life and in reality and then and
25:01
that's that's the way you come down from
25:03
it like you you up so high and there's
25:06
so much going on and then after this
25:07
you're bored you ain't got nothing to do
25:09
and then you're sitting outside on the
25:10
rocking chair and you're just chilling
25:11
with your boy and it's the same guy that
25:13
you train with you're probably tired of
25:14
you know and they probably tired of you
25:17
but you know and you it's just it's just
25:20
like a a permanent thing yeah you know
25:23
so in in it people like him let you
25:25
realize that everything else is just so
25:27
temporary you know yeah yeah cab you all
25:31
right keep your shades on man it's cool
25:33
man you know what he's doing
25:36
um how's your brother I I saw the the
25:40
confrontation with Caleb plant right
25:42
were you there were you right there I
25:44
was not right there but I was somewhere
25:45
around him but I didn't get this I
25:47
wasn't no nowhere near uh getting the
25:49
slap or nothing like that so he he Caleb
25:52
felt uh assaulted because your brother
25:54
was touching his beard and he slapped
25:55
him
25:56
um
25:57
your brother didn't retaliate
26:01
um was that just being professional I
26:03
don't know what I don't know what it
26:04
could have been I don't know I know he
26:06
chasing him all the way down the the
26:07
aisle like leaving out but
26:10
um at that current moment like I don't
26:12
know if what the expectations was from
26:14
him but uh I mean I'm seeing a guy walk
26:17
up to me and approach me and what's up
26:19
like it's not like what he thought that
26:21
the security guy was gonna step in
26:23
before I don't know what the real why he
26:25
let the slap happen that's what I'm
26:27
asking because I know he saw it right I
26:29
can see it right but then I don't know
26:31
what else was going on I don't know who
26:32
else was rushing at that time yeah but
26:34
um you know all I do is uh you know I I
26:37
just question the people that was around
26:39
him at that moment like
26:40
um no matter what we you you just go
26:43
take that lick or whatever go get it
26:44
back they not gonna let me um I got a
26:46
professional career I don't want to do
26:47
that somebody go you know deal with it
26:50
yeah yeah all right let me get him like
26:52
some type of way you got to let me get
26:54
to him or make it happen like you know
26:57
you don't just get away with that you're
26:58
the youngest I'm the youngest yeah how
27:00

27:05
down battles and fights and it's always
27:07

27:10
of way we make it through but I mean
27:13
he's doing his thing I like right now
27:14
I'm focused you know what I mean and I'm
27:16
not letting my brother or what he going
27:17
through or what he got going on or his
27:19
little slap or whatever he got to get
27:21
