The Joe Rogan experience train by day Joe Rogan podcast by night all day Unexpected unexpected but over a period of time we just got closer and closer and closer and you know Very brotherly and the last public appearance Emmanuel ever made was my wedding in September of 2012.
And that night, the wedding was at our house in Del Mar, California, and that night he,
his girlfriend came to me and said, we have to leave early, Emmanuel's having stomach pains.
He was in oncology by the next week.
He was gone by three weeks later.
So, very touching to me and, you know,
deeply symbolic of my love for him and thus the croncat yeah what a classic gym and he was one of the first guys to realize like
if you crank the heat up it actually gives guys better conditioning he realized a lot of things yeah emmanuel was a genius uh in a lot of ways and there were a lot of um sort of time-honored rules and techniques and boxing that he quietly upended yes
because he was more advanced in his point of view and thought process.
And then everybody else sort of followed his lead.
Once they understood what he was doing.
If you saw the McCrory's and Tommy and those guys, why wouldn't you imitate, right?
Right, exactly.
And he did it at both the amateur and pro level too.
And he was always fantastic too as a commentator
because he would give insight that you're really not going to get from someone that's not like with these fighters day in day out through an entire camp.
But we need to consider the privilege I had,
the expert commentators I worked with, starting with Ray.
That's one perspective.
Then gravitating through George Foreman and Roy Jones.
