Energized Show hosts Barry Waters and Ross preview a busy combat-sports weekend anchored by Anthony Joshua’s U.S. debut against Andy Ruiz at Madison Square Garden, after Jarrell Miller was replaced on short notice. They argue the swap hurts Joshua’s American launch compared with a Miller fight, discuss his stated interest in meeting Deontay Wilder after a win, and note Tyson Fury’s separate Vegas plans. They cover Katie Taylor’s undisputed-title bout against Delphine Persoon, praise her as an all-time great Irish fighter, and speculate on boxing superfights or a future MMA move. UFC Stockholm gets a full rundown: Anthony Smith vs Alexander Gustafsson in Sweden, plus Volkan Oezdemir vs Ilir Latifi, Jimi Manuwa vs Alex Rakic, and Makwan Amirkhani vs Chris Fishgold, with host predictions throughout. They also flag Cage Warriors Colchester on Friday, Uriah Faber’s return against Ricky Simon at UFC Sacramento, and an upcoming Paulie Malignaggi vs Artem Lobov bout.

Garden this weekend also Ireland's own Katie Taylor fighting as well man it's always a go crack for also special Katie Taylor yeah people love Katie Taylor yeah she's gone for all the belts that wasn't cheap yeah she's gonna be the comb the belt yeah what's that quadruple sport I think the quanti chompers the cuatro champ no that's for Quattro formaggi that's for cheese beats is not and also this weekend you see Stockholm is our man Russ your Bulls of listen yeah well there's cool fuel I have voice crap someone it should be entertaining the only thing is that you know the fights actually hold anyway in the toilet picture yeah that's true on 14 and then also for people who are looking for its own combat on Friday night its cage warriors Colchester on Friday night oh they I'm wait Ross you should start off anti Joshua making his debut in America he's on a delta welders tour what to make it this manhunt you Joshua first movies film is just not the foyer anyone really want to see is a no no look I was sold on baby Miller I was like right Josh was supposed to win this poor baby Miller's like legitimately a top-15 heavyweight in the world like they sorta got you yeah I was I was like you know why you're on babe Miller's all defeated yeah and like he's a challenge I look around and he's and it looks like they pick the fat fat away and the t-shirt the top end he should have the front round would like right you can fine auntie Joshua yeah also a fair bit isn't hard that I feel like this goes getting at least a million quid to do the foyers out seeing so yeah well that's what goes on a box and those people are there just to lose you know yeah I'm won't leave Shorty's intake for toast oh no what was you saying seven weeks to shorten hours yeah you want like they knew there are like obviously Eddie Herman I'm at room had this out this book game for a while and they're on the clock to try and fill in that Bay Miller spot to sell the tickets you know proms like seven weeks a heavyweight you don't have to make the way therefore like all you have to do was get fit and I feel like there's no way Luis Ortiz could mean that one fish that he couldn't get very fit in seven weeks yeah I know you know I mean although I thought it over I feel like Josh was very fit though then whities is a bit like actually John I think what his manager was like no we're not taking a fight and then Ortiz was like all he was gonna take that fight it's like I heard there's too many yes or no people anti Joshua was on and he was the saying that he wants to sit down with the aunty Waller after this fight if he wins yeah and just go and be like here look let's sort this out like man I feel like when UFC made like cowboy worse Ferguson Dana why rank head was like to avoid Tony Ferguson he was like yeah and then Frank like what if like a boy he was like yeah I was like right Boyd thorn I feel like we're do boxes like do you avoid him it's like hold on let me ring SCO's boss do you want to fight him how long right let me ring JD sports and there we go yeah Josh Hollan let me ring Under Armour can we get transferred for you it's like all right round the second point airing on you is like hold on let me ring Burger King Andy they're young boys and then probably they had to get like a translator as well yeah did you not speak any English I don't think your T speaks in English or Ruiz no I say we reach those all right grant yeah election oh no this the fight we're sort of stuck with yeah and it's gonna be a warm solid Robin well show me anyway yeah it is anyway competitive well then like Josh was gonna look terrible out of it this is really forward the American audience that I tell that many pass her boys just or the casual fan has been tuning in to watch Anton Joshua PD anyone in England maybe not even the Klitschko one you know she don't feel like this doesn't do him justice for his American debut nah if you look if I was a casual fan and didn't know who auntie Josh was right yeah I saw this absolutely at Donna's figure being up this sort of fact like oh just like well obviously he's supposed to be him yeah it's not that make sense as opposed to when he's fighting baby Miller like babe Miller has an affair a name in America and he also like he was before like not Oh father you're like he looks super know it sense I understand gotcha and also it would only made sense that was Madison Square Garden cause baby Miller was from there as well going into his turf exactly I feel like it's solid sizzle yeah like there's gonna be the weigh-in and someone's gonna like boys that security guard taking a top off you mean yeah that's the way it is well hopefully just leads to Joshua versus Walder or sorry only to Josh if he he's a clock in that ESPN deal and was named yeah I think Yuri's next three fights are not against Joshua or Dante Walter he more carefully gets to do my will he may be made under steer well obviously his first fight coming up soon and that's in Vegas isn't yeah and then we'll see what the story with that is it seems like AJ was saying he wants to sit down with you and Walter you never said anything about sitting down with fury you know yeah I think I think the both afraid of here because he's actually like his footwork and Isles award that he might make show yeah you need more time to get ready for him yeah but he's backing out from anti Josh we had to go over there and deal I would you expect it wilder to be in the crowd I definitely think Walter would definitely do crowd and I think I think they're gonna be like faceoff offer it's put a chop of Joshua doesn't win him within six rounds like that's disgraceful attention true and then obviously Aaron's on Katie Taylor is taking on Delphine / soon as we said she she could become five-time world champion what's the toys fury comes up the lineal lineal champion that make Katie's hair the lineal lightweight champion yeah she's great female boxer of all time like I don't care what anyone says yeah myself myself lexicon huh P I was bad save myself across a condo painting being like should we name the show aunty Joshua or Katie Taylor oh yeah yeah we're on the one defends about that yeah because I think I'd see Joshua gets more clicks but like Kate hair gets more support on the ground yeah yeah the boat stops you phenomenal for us the point of Ireland Katie's hate her what a woman she's gonna go ahead and get the jobs on again and you know what it's sort of weird that everytime she fights again still in Reno her opponent again yeah but I'm sitting interested because cage fighting one of Sandman well she fights unbelievably well she's world-class she also finds hope point frequently other words I would say she in the void storm you know I mean yeah we're expecting anyone famous incremental for her like obviously finn balor came out for Mikey Conlon Conor McGregor was there previously for Katie Harris White's not particularly to us don't even mean that a bad way it just I feel like he's like more low-key than those two I feel like she's not all about the frills she's getting in there and get the job done it's not really it's so weird to see someone that amazing and unbelievably after her craft and to be so humble you know yeah don't definite because I've seen the 4k more people are like I'm gonna kill you but like she likes to go after sort of her little village and do all try in there yeah with the other Ross guy trains like a monk is the rest you undercard there no yeah who else on comes MIT he's very good you have a safe versus to be announced oh wow yeah so he's not very good be announced someone else on the cars or Josh or something or yeah Josh Kelley Josh caddy he's brilliant but they're all gonna be Tito for wins anyway yeah man they're already here and put them on that golf tee and day Eddie here in his swing and I'll actually think it's quite for me to see a the boxing because they all wonder is your on you Gordon then you go on to like paddy power and it's like one 282 in a safe all right so not competitive yeah what you think a dictators to do next I'll see we have previously at alpha 1 on the show and he said he has a feeling the Katie Taylor will go into MMA and I don't really see you or or you think a box match against maybe one of MMA stars could be on the cards maybe a cyborg maybe a Holly Holm they sort of have boxing pedigree so why not like make those dollar bills yeah and like Dana voiceover talk Mike on the zoo for boxing and him and Eddie her and I sort of mate so like why don't they just put like their girls against each other yeah man why not yeah it's it must be like obviously Katie now if or hopefully when she wins and the weekend she's reached the mountaintop like she's wound Olympics yeah she's gotten all the belts and look what makes her get up and keep going again you know because obviously like I look serious where we maybe three or four more fights in there is horror horror like on hurt on the feed it yeah make a few Bob but I would like to see her do you want or a show before which tries off into this one Zack if we know he's here fighting three arena one time well Mikey Collins after Pocono Bell if I add the tree arena so would you say yeah well like I was that we do happen yeah well I don't he's gonna fry outdoors no way key colonies Doheny yeah I think so yeah but I think Belvoir more safe for a safe Frampton as well so they can sort of put like two big ace on the card oh my god imagine Katie Taylor in the tree arena class against heal Holly Holm poor Holly Holm poor Holly Holm man cater social edge you never hear of any order or s-boxes commentary reader yeah I know I know we actually follow a couple you know Kelly Harrington's actual quote not quite a daily level but she's world champion in the amateur so like everybody over doc yeah I'm sure more stars await in the comb yeah the next Olympics I think it really once they hit the Olympics and then push on then that's the thing to do an armadillo mourn loss the show yeah exactly I showed it till um yeah he's white in America soon as well well that by the way let us know who you think Tyson Fury I mean sir yeah I'm to Joshua for next video title URI or John to water cuz we want to know or Jillian week or till I might you know quiz show and Ross may as well moving into the world mixed martial arts obviously you see Stockholm is on this weekend aren't the the Lionheart Smith going into Alexandra Coulson's backyard in Stockholm Sweden yeah Barry do you think aunty Smith has any chance will wouldn't there's always a chance board am I just feel like oh so soon is definitely the third best boy heavyweight in the world yeah it depends whether ran through Johnson's not rare enough what he's not around for a while course if you see Nancy jumps Johnson race knees don't make it two or five anytime soon what's the same as DC as well well he's the best after John Jones the an through Rumble Johnson and I know chromia yeah they our oldest be elder Wilson is I feel like he's faster if it has box better his foot works better I think he's gonna get the job done maybe fourth or fifth for down gets me Theo there yeah bolos Mary yeah quite sound aunty yeah nobody Bowl ads or sound I think volcon is gonna fight leer the TV as well I'm gonna go for there to TV he's a bit stuck here I think his Reston's that bit better I don't somebody volkheim that like I'm not already told on so do you think the dose the magic dose is gone the note there is no time yeah I don't think his no time model will last any more he hasn't like got thrown out there like 60 seconds in a long time and I don't think the TV so many knock out in 60 seconds although he could make a big name for himself there like in the European teen you know also TVs from Sweden as well so Honda TV also prob a nyan true yeah and then you're made the poster boy Jimmy man was fighting against Alex and Iraq ik he's looking very hot bomb so doc what that was guaranteed knockout although every time you say guaranteed no K tends to be no knockout what is it Jimmy man who obviously has a big name in England you think many English fans before over or do you think they would be rather gone they go off the AJ instead I'll tell you part we has a bed like four or five hundred people who always follow man that's probably their way yeah and then I made mock want Americana he's taking on Chris fishy fish gold in the federal division microns back after a long world out yeah both really good European towns but I'm gonna go for Mac one on this one just cause we met noise koi Mobley teeth does he yeah alright fantastic for the yeah that's you see Stockholm do you think many people are gonna be watching that or like obviously the majority people are gonna be tuning into a tram z1 yeah Champa Zig faunal and then you probably catch like the co-main event main event awkward I said no words or like spike after Tom's ivona so make sense yeah and well the party to Pinter let's go Tommy be free yeah but there's also big news as well that your royal Faber is returning to the US see ya Ross he's been here for a while it's coming back yeah he's gonna fight Ricky Simone and UFC Sacramento I would think it's UFC on ESPN plus 13 whichever that means I never you know what the SPI means anymore but that's where he's gonna for you yeah he's 40 he just lost to Nicky Rowan Gordon Rowan Jiu Jitsu Prodigy's little brother who's 17 check Amer party right Sekhmet opps you insane but like I can't believe losing to a 17 year olds when made him go you know what I'm gonna go back voice I think it's terrible idea don't think he's gonna win the appropriate are there shorty efforts that's a problem with the fighters mind even looking to Chuck Liddell when you have it in you just yeah keep going or else and if your coach says no you just move through a different team that's it that's your voice it's almost like we're in Oakland let your voice yeah it's almost like you're an alcoholic it's just like here you go to one probably keep turned you down then so important is here again when's Paulie Malignaggi versus art I think that's the next one I think is like the 22nd but away see Paulie spitting in RM lots of schools a month yeah rotten Paulie you're a knocker yeah I can't actually can't wait to see that as well yeah although like I uh I feel like that's I shouldn't watch it but I have to watch it yeah is the bear in opal is to say so bloody and sour like barbaric same one you can't visit the garage is to ward it is yeah isn't it yeah it's rent like that and you see that's going on I don't think so not not that level maybe use my first kovin back we good maybe yeah maybe pull it
