Conan Wants To Become A Boxer | Conan O'Brien Needs A Fan

all right you are coming to us uh Terry. from uh a gym and I'm told it's a boxing. gym this is your gym. yes my team boxing gym yeah yeah and I. can see it behind you very impressive. looks very much like a gym where one. would box. um say your story so far checks out you. get an A yeah do you teach boxing and. you're also a promoter of fights is that. correct yes I do um I've been doing that. for quite a while the promotions but but.

I trained Fighters and run a gym it's. it's an interesting uh career and it's. called Buckhead Fight Club is this uh. Buckhead in Georgia. yeah it's kind of like the Atlanta. Financial District we're also on an area. that's really diverse. um so we got all the great ethnic foods. here plus all the money terrific. you've thought this all thought this all. out I know Atlanta bit because for many. years I worked for Turner based in. Atlanta oh yeah and I did some shows in.

Atlanta and really loved that City it's. uh it's new it's an amazing Place. incredible place now tell me uh I'm kind. of interested because I I don't know. much about fighting but I'm curious. about it I know it's an amazing exercise. I mean if you're really boxing you. exhaust yourself in about I do in about. 30 seconds it's an incredibly tough. workout it's a full body workout but. also I like the idea of learning the.

science of boxing is that something you. think you could teach me. oh yeah for sure definitely talk to me. about it's a science internet okay you. can talk to me about what do you need to. know about me uh to know about my. potential as a boxer. well you're already tall which which. definitely helps why does that help. people that are really tall. um well it's kind of like if you're. playing baseball and you got a little. bitty short bed or you got a long bat. you know the ball is going to go further. with a with a long batch yeah yeah so it. actually has more power.

um some tall people are slow though but. I don't think you're slow no no I've got. very fast twitch muscles everything. about me yes that's right fast quick uh. and so I think I would have a a quick. powerful punch oh that makes it hard. yeah that makes it a Hard Punch now what. about a hand-eye coordination is that. important. it is important well this is over. the conversation is done it's been nice.

talking to you no so hand-eye. coordination very important uh I could I. could probably develop that I could get. better at it. um yeah and then candy crush or. something yeah. Montage where he wakes up. looks an egg into a glass and eats it. and then goes and plays Candy Crush to. the same music right and then he's. playing candy crushes he slowly goes up. the step perhaps to that museum or.

I've got uh I've got some muscle mass on. me and I can put on some I can put on. some muscle well we say unboxing you. know never judge a book by its cover so. you can have all the muscle in the world. and you can be horrible or you can have. no muscle and be amazing so it really. doesn't matter about the muscle but if. you have some Skies. out there you're in good shape you know.

usually when people look at me and say. well don't judge a book by its cover I. get insulted but I'm deciding not to now. I'm deciding to take that as a. compliment. um that's a compliment yeah how long. would it take me to learn to be a pretty. decent fighter do you think. uh how old are you now I just turned it. takes a little time I just turned six. yeah okay I would probably give it. a few years yeah well I only have I only. have I only have a few here he's 64.

before he even knows how to buy you know. nowadays I mean boxing's changed so much. you got Jake Paul and and Tick Tock. Fighters and now there's a thing where. you can just slap somebody you know. there's like a sport they just slap them. and it's really knock them out I want to. I just want to slap people and I want it. to be I want to be slappy people I want. to slap people but they can't slap me. back I'm just slapping at them and then. I want to be like a 17th century Dandy. with the white clothes. exactly Terry I want to have some gloves. that I take off and I slap them with the.

gloves yeah and then my henchmen and. bodyguards move in and I'm protected you. want to um challenge people to a duel. but then never have to do it yes yeah. thank you right right. um I also want to do the old pieces. oh yeah that's the best yeah. anyway effective how come that went away. why did that go away yeah why did that. old time I did it in an SNL sketch once. I was obsessed with yeah old I feel like. this and so what is what was is that a.

if a modern box if a modern boxer went. into the ring and thought Floyd. Mayweather and and was using that style. what would happen uh he would probably. not last too long but you know what. that's from is like boxing used to be. different. um especially in Europe they would do. like Point scoring so it wasn't about. knocking people out it was about how. many points you could like so that's how. they would box you know about touching. him yeah I had a Hungarian fighter one.

time who told me he had like a thousand. amateur fights I'm like I would be dead. by now but he said no Mike Tyson ruined. boxing uh you know with with all the. power shots and knocking people out it's. the Americans we kind of changed it. honestly but before that it was like you. could box like that oh yeah no before. Mike Tyson came along I was feared. and then he came along and. changed everything.
