    S7 Ep836: Referee Jack Reiss talks Fury v Wilder long count
    Dec 16 2024
    In this episode of "Leave It in the Ring," we are privileged to host the esteemed boxing referee Jack Reiss, who has garnered widespread respect in the boxing community for his professionalism, fairness, and meticulous attention to detail in officiating matches. With years of experience under his belt, Reiss has built a solid reputation as one of the most competent and reliable referees in the sport.

    During the episode, Reiss reflects on the highly publicized 2018 heavyweight clash between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury, which sparked significant debate among fans and analysts alike. After Fury was knocked down in the fourth round, Reiss made the critical decision to give him a full ten-count. This decision, pivotal in the fight’s outcome, allowed Fury adequate time to recover and subsequently continue the match, ultimately leading to a controversial draw. Reiss delves into the specific moments that led him to make this judgment call. He shares his thought process during the fight and addresses the scrutiny surrounding his count, which many perceived as being excessively prolonged. To clarify misconceptions, Reiss reviews footage from the bout, illustrating that his count was consistent and within the rules, countering assertions that he delayed it.

    Reiss also recounts his experience officiating the 2012 match between Andre Ward and Chad Dawson, a bout notorious for its excessive clinching and grappling. He explains the challenges he faced in maintaining control of the fight, emphasizing the importance of enforcing the rules while also allowing the fighters to engage in meaningful action. Reiss breaks down the distinctions between holding and effective clinching, providing insight into how these tactics can impact a match’s flow and the referee’s role in managing them.

    Throughout the conversation, Reiss underscores his unwavering commitment to fighter safety, highlighting the delicate balance he strives to maintain between protecting the fighters and allowing them the opportunity to demonstrate their resilience, especially when they appear hurt. He articulates the necessity of strict oversight in these scenarios, ensuring that fighters are not only allowed to recover but are also safeguarded from undue risk. This dedication to the well-being of athletes has shaped Reiss's approach to officiating, making him a respected figure both inside and outside the ring.

    S1 Ep835: Tim Tsyzu was matched wrong? DLH hostage to Ryan Garcia Tactics?
    Dec 15 2024
    In this episode of "Leave It in the Ring," we are honored to welcome 20-year veteran manager Ernesto Torres de Villa, who has dedicated two decades to guiding fighters in the boxing world. During our conversation, Ernesto offers a candid and heartfelt account of how the pressures and demands of managing professional fighters took a significant toll on his personal life. He shares how this journey ultimately led to the dissolution of his marriage, pushing him into a deep emotional low where he seriously contemplated walking away from the sport he loves.

    However, in a moment of introspection, Ernesto realized that he owed it to himself and the sacrifices he had made not to give up on his passion. He expressed his resolve by stating, "I didn't want to lose everything for nothing, so I continued on." Through his experiences, Ernesto came to understand that boxing had become not just a career, but an addiction that he needed to navigate carefully.

    Additionally, we delve into the controversial tactics employed by mega star Ryan Garcia and explore the potential implications for his promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, who serves as the CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. We discuss whether Oscar has felt trapped by the overwhelming financial success that Ryan brings to the company, as well as the challenges that arise from such a high-profile partnership. With Ryan currently facing a suspension, we turn our attention to whether a rematch with Devin Haney is still warranted and whether boxing fans maintain a strong interest in the matchup.

    In the latter part of our discussion, we focus on Tim Tsyzu, who recently suffered a knockout loss in the ring. We analyze whether this defeat was the result of poor matchmaking and strategy on his team's part, or if there were other factors at play that contributed to the outcome of the fight. This episode offers a deep dive into the complexities of boxing management and the emotional experiences of those within the sport.
