13:10 Radio Rahim's face. Priceless.
"A fly in a bottle of milk" Classic ol' school statement
The best interview i have heard in years! But Rahim needs to advocate his preaching. He claimed he has to ask questions no matter how delicate they are (i agree with him), but he should also stop acting offended by the answers or reactions he gets. He needs to also take into consideration that as a reporter you must tolerate it, just as those being asked the questions. He is nowhere near Mayweather's camp since floyd refused him an interview, that means he took it personal. He almost overreacted here by raising his voice, by interrupting Virgil..... I love it when there's an argument, but when you preach that people should tolerate the questions, then you should tolerate the answers. Great video.
Great assessment.
Well said, brother
Virgil is not answering the questions, I think Rahim is right to press the subject, and on the contrary he does hold his cool, but he refuses to have his questions ignored.
realyaga That is a very very good point.
Virgil could moonlight as an assassin. He has one cold demeanor, man.
That's how all Oakland men are.
That's Oakland swag. Most all have that demeanor.
lol@swifthandz - facts
i luv how virgil talks. stays calm and give u an answer which u cant disagree wit
lol Virg was about to whoop that ass
and the fun starts at 4:51
😂😂
virgil gave him dat work...rahim take this L
😂😂
Better title "When Rahim didn't like hearing REAL talk." Virgil kept it 100. No cliché answers.
where's the heated part.. Virgil is one of the coolest cats out there.. you couldn't piss him off if he caught you in his bedroom with his wife. He the type that would shoot both ya asses cold and continue his dinner like nothing happened...
shut up you ugly shit
marcus Law says the guy without picture. f*ck outta here noob.
Awesome Channel Man!! Cheers. Scotland's Biggest Boxing Fan!!
I dont see why Hunter getting mad over the questions Rahim is asking if theres nothing insulting about them. He should see the questions Angulo is asked by spanish reporters like "are you gonna let yourself lose to keep inflating Canelo" and are you getting paid to lose against Canelo" now those are insulting questions.
Hunter's reaction is ridiculous. Nothing about those questions was inappropriate or insulting. They were perfectly reasonable.
Wow what an interview, I'm hype now
great interview especially the swerving around Khan V mayweather strategy
edwinsanchez773 is a fighter. wat has race got to do anything wit boxing.
*****
I really think amir khan can beat floyd, like who other is it out there that can beat floyd? like who, Canelo, cotto, hatton, oscar, guerrero, all these guys got fucked up. It is no other out there that can match floyd as much as khan
*****
You're crazy, it's all propaganda, but Floyd does NOT call the shots. He answers to Oscar, FACT! Cotto on the other hand can fight anyone cause he's a free agent. Floyd is just facing GBP fighters.
***** ur an idiot 9/11 was a cia and mossad operation that bush knew about
*****
why are u talkin to eldude about boxing he doesnt know shit about the sport u just debunked everything he said but yet ur being nice to him like he knows what hes talkin about cmon now and f.y.i. mosely ducked floyd in 06
love this interview both ah great
Rahim did a great job at pushing buttons virgil is a loyal trainer even if he hears negativity he stays positive for his fighters
Very to the point interview.... Thanks...
Good job....u got my subscribe Radio
Good job V Hunter keep it up. Let his know how to ask questions.
I'm a huge Floyd support but I think Virgil is wrong here about the opinion that Rahim was minimizing Moneys victories. He was expressing how the overwhelming opinion IS that an opponent losing to Floyd b/c he's so great doesn't hurt your career or people's opinion of you a fighter as negatively opposed to a fighter losing to anyone else. Ex, you're in a bar and hear a boxer just loss, you find out that boxer lst to Floyd! Their response is usually, "Oh! Well, I mean he was fighting Mayweather, so no sh*t he lost." But conversely, if a fighter lose to anyone else not named Floyd, people start saying the fighter isnt as good as billed of their career is over. What Virgil doesn't want to recognize in answering Rahims patiently and brilliantly asked question(s) is that's what happened to Angulo. And in understanding that unfair perception, what tools does Angulo bring to the table that his detractors miss in-ring that keeps his career very much alive and him worthy of a mega-fight/ppv (while not being a star) coming off a loss. Most fighters don't get Angulo's shot-of-a-lifetime chance coming off a loss if they're not a star unless they are viewed as a stepping stone/confidence fight.
Virgil is just levels above this dude
Radio. Keep working it man.
Radio did a great job asking real boxing questions.
Virgil Hunter is just CLASS.
I agree in part with Virgil when people ask questions about perception without including facts. Virgil made a good point about both fighters losing and his fighter performing much better against the opposition. Rahim has been very negative towards Mayweather on occasion. Virgil's point was that Rahim and other should not belittle or take away from Mayweathers victory when the Canelo fight was "perceived" to be 50/50 before the fight. Rahim basically was calling Amir Khan and Angula shiit and he expected Virgil not to address that?
Damn! Radio almost became Hunter's prey.
virgil hunter by far my favorite trainer. dude's articulate, encourages his fighters and gives guidance.
I'm very excited for this fight, but I'm just as excited now for the post fight interview between Radio Rahim and Virgil Hunter! :)
radio rahims face at 13:12 LOL
Good one! 😊 now after Roach and Hunter get Angel Garcia in a interview like this.
"I'm looking for growth." Virg Hunter #RGM
Great video! Lol
Rahim is pure professional. He always ask the right questions in a professional manner. Hunter took it personal.
Yeah Hunter came off kind of immature honestly.
Radio Rahim has taken his interviews to another level!
That eye rolling could get you knocked out Mr interviewer
This gotta be Rahim's most frustrating interview ever. LMAO
I'm glad that both of them were honest with each other. Too much fake journalism being disguised as professionalism these days.
thanks for the video
QUESTION- why do other fellow super middleweight boxers NOT want to fight the champion mr Andre ward?
sweet blessings.
I admire Virgil Hunter that much more he knows his stuff. Always well composed, and answer questions like a BOSS
He couldn't even remember his own fighter's name. He lost his composure.
Did Virgil not want to be interviewed ?
NICE
This is interview is actually hilarious when you realise how stressed out they both are by each other, just watch their facial expressions while the other is talking! This is classic real life comedy i couldn't stop laughing at the perception part! 13:10 killled me!!!! radio rahims face!! LOOOL
I honestly can feel Rahim's pain here. The perception argument sounded like a teenager who is kind of beginning to understand self awareness and was really just a way to deflect and minimize Rahim. I can understand why he's so exasperated. Hunter got offended by literally nothing.
Fucking love this interview, Rahim doing very well at stirring up Virg lol
Count how many times Virgil says Perception, Reality and Opportunity lol funny interview.
3 great things about this interview: a) the tense dialogue. b) how my attention shifted form the interview to the Canelo arrival- 06:00 and c) how it looks like the guy in the background is pushing a body bag ! - 12:15
6:30 it heats up.........ur welcome
Virgil hunter comes across like a fool..
this interviewer is ruthless, does he have his own show?
Reporters and journalist like Radio Rahim LOVE to minimize Floyd's victories. Why can't they admit that Floyd beat up his opponents? Just because he doesn't knock them all out like GGG? Just because they didn't get knocked down? Floyd calls out people on stuff like this and people call him crazy. I agree with Virgil on this.
I disagree.
Regi T.
That's fine.
Does this mean these 2 wont be hanging out over a couple of beers ?
Fuck that was funny, Virgil is the real deal
well done man!! stood your ground!!
If the the word say the word perception one more time i kill myself lol
the interviewers face when virgil repeated his answer ajajajajaja
Brilliant!!
Virgil bugged out a little bit, but as a journalist Rahim should've chilled the fuck out and just move along without all of the eye rolling and being all stand offish. In all fairness he asked WAY too many questions and Virgil didn't even have to give him a fuckin interview
Both Radio Rahim and Hunter I understood where both were coming from with the argument. I do hope that Alfredo beats Canelo...
i didn't perceive this interview to be heated.
Hard to gauge Virgil, can't tell if he's calm or calm-angry. Passive aggression, or he just didn't want to tell him?
Wow that was fun.
Virgil Hunter in my opinion is in the top 3 trainers in boxing behind Floyd Sr and Roger Mayweather
I agree withthat, Virgil knows his stuff; Radio screwed up with this interview. He should have just said yeah Virgil my bad man.
Virgil is like a ninja
I swear Radio’s curse some times is his command and mastery of the English language. He should probably dum himself down a little bit with some of the people that he’s interviewing because then otherwise this happens.
Awkward tension interviews are the best. Notice how Hunter never made eye contact with him the whole interview.
making eye contact would just create more tension than there already is, hunter seems like a clever guy, and what is he going to gain by having an argument with an interviewer? his craft is boxing not arguing which is pointless
The word of the day is PERCEPTION :)
Radio Rahim is a good interviewer.
Virgil Hunter is a very intelligent dude, yet once again, I see that he and almost no every other fighter and trainer goes with what the media says concerning Canelo. Canelo is not washed up, and he did not do badly in his fight. I feel like tying everyone to a chair and making them watch a replay of the fight. After it was over, the first thing the commentator did was try to egg Floyd on to remark about how dominant he felt it was. I'll never forget the way he paused, and gave an awkward look before responding respectfully about Canelo. He outboxed a less experienced and underconditioned fighter who had an ineffective gameplan. The fight was a chess match. Even if I don't give a round to Canelo, 85% of the rounds were razor close battles for position, which is worlds better than almost every other person who has faced Floyd. But high art and high chess go over everyone's heads.
Lol too funny for his answers on this one...
Again it's perception.
Alfresco, Alfredo.....Angulo, I think he meant.
Rahim at 13:11 lmfao!!!! Hahaha! Your so funny!
These two must know each other very well outside of this interview😂.. sort of like that coworker you get into it with day after day but, at the end of the day you’d call that individual if anything were to happen.
5:53 is that cinnamon on the right I see!!
Kessler and Abraham to win the Super Six? LOL, the favorite was always Carl Froch.
PERCEPTION! Haha!
Lmfao hahahaga this interview is funny as fuck
Virgil is a very smart trainer but he was wrong in a lot of his talk about perception. Rahim was just asking the questions of the masses, not his personal opinions. That being said I think Angulo could beat Canelo. If Canelo takes him lightly he will lose.
Virgil is spot on. Rahim and or peoples perception is discrediting the match up aganist angulo and pretty much discrediting the contenders. hes the trainer, he could give a fuckless about peoples perception. Thats what Rahim, media and youtubers etc do. we live in a world of perception.
If anything there personal attacks to his fighters.
Nstrumentalist1986 I dunno they seem like straight forward questions that all make sense. LOL. What's Virgil care if people discount Angulo's shot? I hope Canelo takes Angulo lightly & gets stopped.
rahim you are the best interviewer out there!!
I like Virgil Hunter, but feel sorry for him having to manage khan against mayweather.
I'm not even going to watch the fight, I will just search Amir Khan on the hospital records the morning after.
Virgil should have said stop the interview slapped him and said now continue...
I believe Radio Rahim is the "PBS News" of Boxing. He ask very tough, intelligent questions. If you want silly questions and responses, similar to CNN or Fox, you may turn to other outlets. But if you want a really engaging interview, continue watching Rahim...
Good interview. Radio needs to be a little more subjective, you're a reporter, dogg. Report.
Then he needs to be more OBJECTIVE. Subjective is literally the EXACT OPPOSITE. You said he needs to add more opinion and made up thoughts and less facts. Pretty sure you meant OBJECTIVE, because he was already being too SUBJECTIVE
Just ask about the match up and the keys to victory..not a good way to help promote the sport or matchup by continually saying one fighter is over matched..especially to the guy who trains these overmatched fighters.
Lmao this is a funny fucking interview. Vergil just does not want to answer these questions lol.
wtf is up with thew cameraman?
Virgil didn't seem to understand anything here....
Honestly, this interview is torturous. If I were Rahim, I would have just ended it because Hunter was acting so immature.
radio rahim makes Bryant gumble look like Malcolm X
Lmao "perception"
I liked the way Virgil responded to Rahim. Rahim got all pissy because of the way Virgil answered him - well, too bloody bad brother. He has every right to respond the way he did, if you don't like the answer - tough! Virgil's a smart guy, he stuck up for his gym.
good interview! hunter is just overly sensitive that his fighters (other than ward) have to make a comeback. sure angulo may have looked great in the lara fight but he did lose and not everyone is aware of the repercussions.
That was embarrassing for Angulo and trainer. Looks like he gave up.
What the heck is going on with Virgil? He doesn't seem to understand the questions at all.
Virgil Hunter reminds me of the legendary cool and calm Dick Sadler, George Foremans trainer back in the 70s. Absolutely razor sharp thinking and can read a persons BS when he hears it. LOL
LLOOLL, that's exactly what I though as well. that's funny. Virgil is no joke but cool as heck. Radio needs to learn how to tolerate who he interviews lol, Radio got taken to school here by Virgil. Radio was basically saying that the other two guys who fought were insignificant and Virgil got him for that.
Hunter is getting all butt hurt because his boxers are the underdogs. Virgil needs to change his tampon out, and stop trying to kill the messenger.
However, Hunter does make a good point that Angulo did a much better job vs Lara than Canelo did with Floyd, so on this basis alone. Angulo is a worthy challenger to Canelo. I don't see Mayweather or Canelo wanting to fight Lara at all. Hunter just got too emotional and irrational in defense of his boy. I've never seen Rahim to be a Mayweather hater. Hunter mistook legit questions as personal attacks.
Virgil Hunter is top class trainer and believes in his fighters nothing wrong with that.
virgil is a lowkey rude, but good at his job. i think angulo can beat alvarez
Canelo is probably going to walk right through Angulo for an early stoppage.
i hope not, I'm rooting for angulo, but id like to see this fight go to late rounds
13:09 Rahims face Lol
I understand where both men are coming from. I think the reason why Virgil got offended was because based on the questions; it appears as if it's being implied that his fighters are just being used as stepping stones. But at the same time Rahim was just doing his job and asking questions that the fans wanted to know. The part about what happened at the end of that Lara-Angulo fight was wrong because instead of TELLING Virgil about some hearsay; he should have just asked him if that was the case. He made it seem like he knew for a fact that those words came out of Virgil's mouth and I think that's what really got him ticked and it went downhill from there!!!!
I can see why Virgil gets frustrated. When you have an interviewer asking you stupid questions, its hard not to say STFU and stop asking me stupid questions.
Why do they even put thumbs on the outside of boxing gloves? Some athletes will do anything to win, And when you get to this level with this much money involved people will do anything to win.
I don't know how you even interviewed this idiot. I've never seen someone so incapable of understanding simple questions. How is this man a world class boxing trainer? I believe Virgil Hunter thinks he is a lot smarter then he really is.
michael carney With respect... Virgil Hill is brilliant and I completely agree with his statements.
To put this interview in perspective -- think outside of your own bias for a moment.
Most everyone knows that in order to get a flashlight to shine a light it needs batteries. Now imagine you want to know more...so you decide to ask an (1) electrician and an (2) electrical engineer to give their perspective on how and why a flashlight works... The (1) electrician would answer one way, and the (2) electrical engineer would give another answer. If you asked the (1) electrician first...well, his answer would change your perspective. When you speak, at a later time, with an (2) electrical engineer, he would tell you the facts (science). Guess what? You would most likely do exactly as Radio Rahim. You would think, based on your previous conversation with the (1) electrician, formulate your questions based on the information (perception + mixed with some facts) given to you by the electrician. Without question the (2) electrical engineer would get a little frustrated by your questioning and remind you his answer was based on facts (science). And, you would get frustrated because you perceive the (2) electrical engineer is not answering your questions.
peace
