| 0:00.0 | Well, hello and welcome to another edition of Fight Week Daily. It is of course Fight Week. It is, of course, |
| 0:07.3 | myself and John Denon. Of course. John, another day closer to Christmas, to the end, but another day closer to this brilliant |
| 0:18.2 | world title fight between Chris Billum Smith and Richard Reacport, the rematch, but also the world title defense for for Chris |
| 0:24.7 | Billham Smith. Really interesting press conference today on a number of |
| 0:28.3 | different levels. First off the two fighters couldn't hear each other because of the |
| 0:32.1 | sound quality but everybody told me how great it sounded in the hall. |
| 0:35.0 | But there was a lot to it I thought and there was this really good face-off as well and I just wonder if it lent itself to a discussion about who is perhaps winning the |
| 0:44.0 | mental battle which is saying I know that you spoke off camera with Chrisman Smith about |
| 0:47.2 | absolutely because I asked him you know whether he thought he won the face off which I know is a |
| 0:51.5 | silly question not the |
| 0:52.5 | silliest question I've ever asked but it both doesn't mean anything but also |
| 0:58.0 | does so Chris was saying that he thought Richard wanted to win the face off and wanted to stare him down |
| 1:05.3 | but then couldn't hold the stare off for long enough. |
| 1:07.6 | So as far as he's concerned in that minor mental battle, Chris Bill and Smith feels like he's concerned if that in that minor mental battle Chris Bill and Smith feels like he's |
| 1:14.7 | winning it and he also feels like he's got the home well he knows he's got the home |
| 1:19.7 | dressing room at the stadium on Saturday night and again he feels that that is something |
| 1:23.9 | that Richard Reackel wanted and now he's not getting. So these are minor |
| 1:28.8 | minor skirmishes in the mental battle but I find it interesting because I think the fighters do really. |
| 1:35.3 | Yeah and then if you flip that did you get any vibe that what Chris is telling us can be backed up at all |
| 1:41.5 | because the one thing I would say is just |
| 1:43.0 | had react pull there up at the top table as well on the pitch on Tuesday. |
| 1:48.4 | There haven't been many red flags mentally. I don't think unless I've misread them. |
