my aura everything so yeah that's just
2:14
me overall but I prefer my I prefer
2:16
scooter well now who scooter that that
2:18
was something they gave that's that
2:19
sound like when you were toddler hey
2:21
Scooter that's kind of how it was like
2:23
my father named me that but you know
2:25
growing up in in the Streets of
2:27
Philadelphia that's where everyone
2:28
called me that's where everybody knew me
2:29
of
2:30
and I had to make that transition of
2:33
cool boy from scooter scooter was more
2:35
of like Hood but you know not ghetto but
2:38
but you know where I come from the
2:40
neighborhood knew you the family the
2:42
friends knew you you didn't come from a
2:44
boxing family n not at all so who who
2:47
introduced it to you my father he uh got
2:49
me into it when I came home when he came
2:51
home from prison 10 years first 10 years
2:52
of my life spent in prison uh bank
2:55
robbery uhhuh and when he came home we
2:58
went to the mosque you know Muslim so we
3:00
went there and we met up with my first
3:03
trainer H Muhammed and he you know
3:05
catching up with them you know he just
3:06
came from prison so he's catching up
3:08
with them asking what they doing and
3:09
they said they was training kids for
3:11
like fighting so me I grew up with all
3:14
women mother three sisters so it's like
3:17
I had no no male role models no brothers
3:19
no nothing in the household so I grew up
3:22
with my cousin and them they playing
3:23
house you know what I'm saying they
3:25
doing fashion shows yeah yeah all that
3:28
baking
3:30
down so they show me pictures of the
3:31
fighters you know the young boys all
3:32
ripped up I'm like I want to do that I
3:34
never had a trophy so they came and
3:37
picked me up and ever since then I took
3:39
off with it do you recall the first time
3:41
you got hit in the face boxing yeah and
3:44
stunned you no I was it wasn't that bad
3:47
it made me it it definitely made me want
3:49
to get my lick back though okay yeah so
3:52
that's when you knew you had the heart
3:53
to do this but I wasn't like so I wasn't
3:56
so like intrigued to get it right back
3:58
uhhuh I was more patient and that's when
4:00
I knew like I I can do this I had the
4:01
patience like anybody that just get hit
4:03
and they want to get it back that's when
4:04
you get hurt mhm that's when you take
4:06
that take that shot you get hurt that's
4:07
what they mean by ring intelligence
4:09
right just kind of knowing timing is
4:12
important right like knowing when to
4:14
retaliate knowing how to Pace patience I
4:17
heard Berle talk about what he learned
4:19
when he fought Mayweather when maywe I
4:21
think that was Mayweather's last
4:22
professional fight I was like yo man
4:24
what was that like being with Mayweather
4:26
dude what did you learn like he outpaced
4:28
you you know obviously he smarter than
4:30
anybody in the ring but that's a great
4:31
opportunity to learn and he talked about
4:34
yeah man it'll be times that he'll do
4:36
his thing he'll fight you and then he
4:38
will discipline himself to go back to
4:40
resting and I can hear him
4:43
breathing that's that's all of this
4:46
stuff happens inside right that we don't
4:48
really know about it does it's really a
4:50
science to it like people just think you
4:52
fighting it's a science to it and we
4:55
train for this so we're at we're at the
4:57
highest of our of the level of fighting
4:59
when it comes when you're at that that
5:01
Peak and that height of being one of the
5:03
top athletes for like fighting and
5:05
boxing yeah you have to learn how to
5:08
breath control and things like that like
5:10
the science part of it uhhuh people just
5:12
think you get in there and it's just oh
5:13
he got Dro no but it's a fight it's
5:15
still a fight but somebody got to lose
5:17
somebody got to go down uhhuh but it's
5:20
because it's still a fight but it's
5:21
still a science to it I don't it's you
5:23
got to be in there you got get don't you
5:25
invite me in the ring
5:27
there bro no
5:30
I think people don't know the signs of
5:32
it because for the average person when
5:34
they're fight we're fighting because we
5:36
have the full emotion of anger you know
5:39
what I mean which tends to lead to you
5:40
being very impulsive and creating this
5:42
sense of urgency and so that makes me
5:44
wonder what is the emotion the energy
5:48
that you walk into a fight with because
5:50
does anger kind of get you off balance
5:52
or is it another type of feeling that
5:54
you sit in N the anger can get you hurt
5:57
right you go in there with your emotions
5:59
and get you hurt now I feel like if you
6:01
let them emotions out as well like like
6:03
when you start getting in there and
6:05
getting it getting a fight started when
6:06
those emotions come out it could be a
6:08
good thing like you know how it is when
6:09
you fight and then you just get a little
6:11
amped and you just start turning up that
6:13
could be good but walking into a fight
6:15
I'm just relax I'm calm I'm I'm not the
6:17
type of guy that have a bunch of people
6:19
with me playing loud music I like to
6:21
focus tune in cuz I know what I'm about
6:23
to go through got you you know so but
6:25
course jump in here man yeah so you know
6:27
you started off boxing with your your
6:28
father got you in the Box is there any
6:30
Fighters that you looked at coming up
6:31
like wow I Want To Be A Champion like
6:33
that that's from Philly that you looked
6:34
at and say hey one day that could be me
6:36
in the ring nah I'd be lying if I said
6:39
it was cuz no nobody really yeah nobody
6:43
really like got me like to the point
6:45
where I can study the older Fighters it
6:47
just was like once I once I start boxing
6:49
I was just focused on myself I had that
6:51
that teacher like the older person that
6:53
was like really dug in with boxing like
6:56
how booy in this is like he's dug into
6:58
it so he probably could teach me those
6:59
things now I never had nobody that
7:01
really taught me the history of the the
7:04
game MH so everything now I would have
7:06
to learn on myself Boise uh boy what how
7:09
different is his style of training what
7:11
you say what what what have you picked
7:13
up new I like it I ain't going to lie I
7:15
like it I like it that's one of the
7:17
that's one of my best moves I feel like
7:18
I made with my career as far as the head
7:21
movement he's he's he's been pressing me
7:23
about pressing me about that the
7:25
constant um my punch output my defense I
7:29
feel like my next fight is going to show
7:30
that like I got the ring Russ out of the
7:31
way from my last fight but this next
7:33
fight I feel like I'm going be more back
7:35
more comfortable and I'm going be you
7:36
know me scooter and you yeah man I mean
7:39
you know and you got a you surrounded by
7:41
a winning team man and I know being
7:43
surrounded by winners uh that that
7:45
definitely makes a difference too your
7:47
last fight was the comeback fight right
7:49
yeah yeah uh how would you uh well horse
7:52
tell I know you fought Carlos um Castro
7:56
how did you grade yourself in that fight
7:58
right there would you give your grade
7:59
after the ring rust and all that what
8:00
grade would you give C C+ wow I'm my
8:03
biggest critic but overall like when I
8:05
when I view myself I'll give it a C+
8:07
which you think you could have did
8:08
different that that you um you feel
8:10
after looking at the fight a lot more
8:12
head movement um utilize my jab a little
8:14
better box him a little bit more but I
8:17
went in there with the mindset of like
8:18
I'm just trying to [ __ ] fight I want
8:20
Rumble yeah and I felt good doing that
8:23
like that's that's what that's what made
8:24
me feel good so that's the mindset I
8:26
went in there like I want to stop this
8:28
[ __ ] but I don't know yeah when
8:31
you get caught like you got caught with
8:33
one right a right hand um and people
8:36
always say I never saw it coming do you
8:38
really I've never been in the boxing
8:40
match like professional do you really
8:42
not see it coming or do you catch it too
8:44
late some shots you just don't see or
8:45
some shots is just like damn you see it
8:47
but you couldn't react fast enough uhuh
8:49
that shot it was like it didn't hurt me
8:52
but I but I learned from my last mistake
8:54
of getting up too fast you know just
8:56
take that knee sit down like that's cool
8:58
like let him count to like eight nine
9:00
and get up well eight I ain't I ain't
9:01
letting it get to nine yeah cuz you
9:03
never know I don't need nobody trying to
9:04
weave nothing on yeah yeah but it was it
9:07
was a good shot that he CAU me with that
9:08
was me after I let my shots off I stood
9:10
there and we basically C like you took a
9:12
picture you sitting there now in front
9:14
of him instead of the head movement and
9:16
stuff like that or getting around after
9:18
I let my [ __ ] off I just stayed right
9:19
there in front of him right in the line
9:21
of fire and he made me pay for my
9:23
mistake yeah but you ended up Victorious
9:25
you know and and what I say about that
9:27
even with edar banga we had him up here
9:30
and even though Canelo knocked him down
9:33
the way he got back up yes sir that
9:35
that's that's where you find a
9:37
championship spirit is getting Muhammad
9:39
Ali's been knocked down Mike Tyson's
9:42
been knocked down what champ has have
9:44
been knocked down AR Floyd you know was
9:47
Zab Judah you know I mean it wasn't you
9:50
know it wasn't you know they a rule it
9:52
but it is what it is he touched the he
9:54
touched the thing you know so I Comm get
9:56
that man a round of applause man you
9:58
know what I'm saying in the building
9:59
scooter folk hey with these with these
10:02
weight classes I see that you moved up
10:04
four pounds from 122 to 126 how how
10:07
different is the the hits like is it
10:09
more hard-hitting far as no I wouldn't
10:12
say that cuz as I got big as I get
10:15
bigger you know I can withstand those
10:17
type of punches and Dish them out as
10:18
well cuz Carlos casual did say that like
10:20
I hit harder than [ __ ] yeah I
10:22
hit I'm like why the [ __ ] you ain't go
10:23
down though you should have went down
10:26
youit with something yeah you should
10:28
have went down but
10:29
the with with the weight classes the
10:31
power do bring up but I'm a big fighter
10:33
so a lot of people just look at me like
10:36
small like I don't walk around 126 when
10:38
I was fighting 122 I never walked around
10:39
122 I was always walking around 140 140
10:43
something now at 126 I was walking
10:44
around 150 uhhuh so I got to drop those
10:46

getting back to the top of the mountain
15:46
like you did in your last fight I had to
15:49
uh deal with reality I had to you know
15:51
watch that over and really live with the
15:53
fact that I took my first loss uh yeah
15:56
so that was like mainly the hard part
15:58
just facing that part cuz I I was always
16:00
the type that run from my problems just
16:02
say f it and it is what it is and leave
16:04
them but I feel like this one I really
16:05
had to face and sit in front and really
16:07
figure out what I did wrong and where I
16:09
went wrong at and why did I make the
16:11
decisions I made leading up to that
16:13
fight which decisions in particular that
16:16
you you would have done differently like
16:19
no excuses at all no no and I said this
16:21
like a year ago when it happened but I
16:25
feel like I should have I outgrew that
16:27
weight class so I'm standing there
16:29
trying to I let the fans get to me I
16:32
feel like you know being from Philly you
16:33
know we tough so like people saying oh
16:35
he ducking he running it's like running
16:37
what I'm going stay there when I've been
16:40
in this weight class for since 2014 it's
16:42
hard to sustain that was 122 right yeah
16:44
122 like after the Brandon fig fight
16:47
should have went up I shouldn't even
16:48
fought Daniel Roman right after it even
16:50
though I looked good and I made the
16:51
weight perfect that time everything was
16:54
just different for this fight and I and
16:55
I actually told my matchmaker like yo I
16:58
don't think I can
16:59
you know cuz he anyway had got injured
17:02
and they pushed the fight back three
17:03
months I'm like yo I don't think I can
17:05
hold this on for three months months
17:07
yeah so but that's just some [ __ ] I had
17:10
to face it's like you trying to make
17:12
history but yeah in way that's how you
17:14
say his name way I think so
17:18
yeah I say inway but a lot of people may
17:21
do say in way okay hey taking it back to
17:24
that that that loss that you took that
17:25
lesson that you that you learned how
17:28
hard was it for you to adjust to Japan
17:30
there's a new you know a whole new
17:32
atmosphere you don't the people how hard
17:34
was it for you to adjust to that like
17:36
far as cuz you look nervous like
17:38
honestly you look like you was out of
17:39
your place when I seen the fight I just
17:40
was like man why did this dude go over
17:42
to Japan honestly everybody said that
17:44
but I feel like one of the main things
17:47
like the food was different for me it
17:49
was very lean and clean so I didn't
17:51
really gain any weight like I'm normally
17:53
gaining like a good 101 15 after I weigh
17:56
in I think I I weighed in at 122 two I
17:59
came in a fight like 127 128 I never did
18:01
that before cuz I couldn't gain weight I
18:03
ate like making the weight like before I
18:05
even stepped in the ring when I before I
18:06
even stepped on the scale I had to make
18:08
weight but you know I'm running okay put
18:10
the sun on I got we order heaters put it
18:13
in the hotel room so we can uh and we
18:16
ordered the treadmill wow so we put the
18:18
treadmill everything cuz it be cold in
18:20
in workout rooms I understand how people
18:21
work out in a cold area don't make sense
18:23
you trying to lose weight [ __ ] you in
18:25
the cold area but they do that in every
18:26
hotel but we had to actually order our
18:29
our own treadmill and everything we
18:31
ordered heaters put it in this one room
18:33
and I was running I ran three times a
18:35
day to make the weight nobody knew that
18:37
every day Faithfully just to make the
18:39
weight three times a day how how early
18:41
did you have to go out there to get used
18:42
to it like how many weeks before the
18:44
fight I should have went a little longer
18:45
but I think I only did like two weeks or
18:47
something like that you were tired yeah
18:50
adjust that adjustment was hard like two
18:51
weeks and I had um I ate two lamb
18:55
burgers that that [ __ ] ain't even put
18:56
like a pound on me Dam yeah yeah I ain't
18:59
I ain't I didn't really gain no weight
19:01
back out there but you know it is what
19:03
it is that's why I should have been
19:04
moved up but that's my that's my mistake
19:07
how what but they they said this man got
19:10
the power in this punch that nobody seen
19:13
or you know at that we division did he
19:16
have the power they talk about you can
19:18
feel the I mean I felt the pressure like
19:19
leading up to the the stoage cuz I ain't
19:22
get knocked out I was out I got the [ __ ]
19:24
back
19:26
up he got up he got the
19:32
referee was like what we doing what we
19:35
doing the referee felt like it was
19:37
enough I didn't I wasn't out like I
19:38
didn't see [ __ ] go out I didn't
19:40
see people [ __ ] in the ring pee on
19:42
everything wait wait wait wait wait wait
19:44
yes I'm talking amateur like you got
19:46
they yeah they got hit so hard they
19:48
[ __ ] yeah I yes you see all type of
19:50
stuff when you fighting things happen
19:52
when you fight your body don't when your
19:54
body lock up yeah you take one to the
19:56
belly yeah but uh he he I definitely
19:59
felt the pressure from the punch I
20:01
didn't feel like when I was in there and
20:02
I was catching a lot of punches I'm
20:04
sitting there like it ain't that it
20:05
wasn't that hard of a punch but it was
20:07
the shots that I didn't see that caught
20:09
me like he he definitely that was a nice
20:11
little jab to the body and come back up
20:14
with the right hand cuz I wasn't
20:15
worrying about the uh right hand so when
20:16
he caught me with it I didn't even see
20:18
it and that's a shot like you talked
20:19
about early I didn't see it and and it
20:21
hit me now I couldn't say I did hit the
20:23
my gloves did hit the ground and you can
20:25
see it clear on The Jone but you know he
20:27
did what he supposed to do cuz I
20:28
probably did the same thing jump in and
20:29
hit hit hit me with another hook right
20:32
why not it was supposed to like stop and
20:33
give me like my eight count but he came
20:35
and hit you again yeah did y'all ever
20:38
have any interaction you know did you
20:40
get to say hey champ congratulations and
20:42
you know good fight yeah in the back
20:44
like after the fight we did that I went
20:47
over there shook his hand everything
20:49
tell him thanks congratulations and all
20:50
that and it was like it was reated I
20:53
like that man come on man heyy we got TR
20:55
still on the line true you want to ask
20:56
anything else before you cut out well I
20:59
yeah I wanted to know would you would
21:01
you take that fight again I mean I would
21:03
love to see it in America this time if
21:05
you were to take it again but would you
21:06
take that fight again yeah every man
21:08

126 I definitely would want that again
21:16

21:17
leverage get another belt that's the
21:19
leverage so once you do that and he

fighting them yeah you can see what it
21:29
takes yeah yeah yeah I know what it
21:31
takes okay I just couldn't give it like
21:33

21:36
the things that I wanted to do like my
21:37
