I'm Brian Campbell. This is Morning Combat. Hello, Morning Combat fans. It is Wednesday the 24th of November 2021. My name is Luke Thomas. I am one half of your hosting duel. I appreciate you joining me. Welcome to Morning Combat, but a special edition of Morning Combat. We know tomorrow is Turkey Day. It's Thanksgiving Day. But the fights do roll on. There is no MMA this weekend. It is just boxing. And we thought, you know what? Who could we get to get us

ready for two big boxing fights? And I was like, let's go to the man who's written about polar bears and lives in Vermont. It is my friend in yours. It is Kirin Mulvaney, who by the way, one half of the hosting duel behind Showtime boxing with Raskin and Mulvaney, a wonderful podcast. How are you doing, sir?

Good. You mean who could we find who's got nothing else to do the day before Thanksgiving?

That's right. Let's get somebody who just got nothing else going on.

Who has no life at all. How are you doing, Kirin? Kirin, Kirby found wrong. I believe we met at some point on the road.

I want to say either in a canelo fight or maybe one of the Mont-Petersons fights, maybe like a decade or more ago when you were living in the area. Is that sound right to you?

Yeah, I think it actually was at a Mont-Peterson fight when he fought a couple times in D.C., right?

So yeah, I think it was, yeah, sometime back then. It's been a while. As we were talking off camera, it's been a couple years since even went to a fight.

So it has to have been a few years ago. Well, you do a great job. You've been in the business a long time. You still work for HBO.

Obviously now you're with Showtime to this podcast with their Eric Raskin. The world's number one MMA fan from what I can tell.

And you guys do a great job with the podcast. So we thought, hey, let's get Kirin on here because we need someone who understands this business from top to bottom

and can help us get ready for these fights. And certainly I have some knowledge of it, but not quite like you. And these fights are incredible.

So here's what we're going to talk about. We're going to get to the Showtime fight, which is going to be a cool boy, Steph Stephen Fulton Jr.

taking on figure row, a brand of figure row. And then we're going to talk about the zone fight, which was almost the trailer fight that never happened.

That's been delayed. What is it nine times between Teofimo Lopez and George Campbell. So then they get it right. Is it nine times they delayed that fight?

Yeah, I think that's just the ninth scheduled day. Yeah, unbelievable. So in either case, welcome to the show.
