SportsTranscript
00:00 seventh and final fight of the evening.
00:03 We have the main event for the WBCA Asia Light Heavyweight
00:08 title.
00:09 We have got France against Iran.
00:11 Round number one underway.
00:18 We've got Emre Duhali representing France
00:20 in the yellow trunks with the golden trim
00:23 against Sajjad Marabi from Iran with the black trunks
00:27 and the bronze trim.
00:29 10 rounds of action.
00:30 Emre has got eight wins in the professional boxing world,
00:38 and all of those wins have come by way of knockout.
00:41 He has also had over 122 fights in other sports,
00:46 such as kickboxing, K1, Muay Thai.
00:49 He has done everything.
00:51 Sajjad Marabi, he's only had three wins
00:55 in professional boxing.
00:56 However, he's had over 100 fights and 15 years worth
01:00 of fight experience in many, many tournaments
01:02 in kickboxing, Muay Thai, karate, every sport
01:06 you can think of.
01:08 He has done this.
01:09 Emre Duhali, known as the Frenchman,
01:12 has said that his favorite fighter is Canelo.
01:16 He likes the slow-starting defensive style
01:18 boxers like Canelo.
01:19 So let's see if he can use that today.
01:25 A nice, slow start by both of these fighters.
01:28 This is a 10-round fight.
01:29 It is a marathon, not a sprint.
01:32 Sajjad Marabi from Iran said he wants
01:34 to prove something tonight.
01:37 He said he's lost a lot of fights that should have gone
01:40 his way but didn't, and he wants to prove
01:42 that this belt belongs in Iran.
01:44 Sajjad also said that for this fight,
01:47 he's been working a lot more on his bodybuilding,
01:49 trying to build a lot of muscle.
01:51 And you can already see, both of these fighters
01:53 are in tip-top shape.
01:54 They look absolutely incredible, and lots and lots of muscle
01:57 on both of them.
01:59 Some nice combinations by Sajjad.
02:01 And an overhand right hits Emre, the Frenchman.
02:06 Both fighters standing in the pocket
02:07 and trading some big, big shots.
02:10 Emre is coming off some very, very nice victories
02:21 very recently against Tanawat Ketseri, Rundjerid Odumarit,
02:24 and Tadsoq Sinan.
02:26 Emre has beaten some very, very good fighters already
02:28 in his very short career of professional boxing.
02:31 He's only been boxing professionally for two years
02:33 and already had eight wins and eight knockouts.
02:36 And some nice body work by Sajjad against him.
02:39 Some nice inside fighting.
02:42 Sajjad told me he is a big fan of Mike Tyson and George Foreman.
02:46 And you can see that.
02:48 He is landing some beautiful body shots
02:49 against the Frenchman, Emre Duwali.
02:53 And a beautiful lead hook landed by Sajjad Murabi.
02:56 And Emre eats it.
02:59 Emre just leaning on Sajjad.
03:00 I think he's a little bit hurt by that shot.
03:03 But Sajjad is just looking at him.
03:06 10 seconds to go of the first round.
03:08 Who's going to edge out the round?
03:14 A fantastic first round for this main event.
03:19 And I think Sajjad may have just nicked it in the last 30 seconds.
03:24 Let's see some action replays.
03:26 And look at that.
03:27 Beautiful Mickey Ward-style body shot.
03:30 Tapped to the head and then banged to the body.
03:33 And again, it was that uppercut that set up a lot of other shots.
03:38 And again, look at this.
03:39 He leans back and uppercuts him.
03:42 And it was that other-- when he steps back and throws
03:44 a nice lead hook.
03:47 Beautiful boxing by Sajjad Murabi right there.
03:49 Again, he told me he wants to prove something today.
03:52 He said a lot of fights he has fought recently
03:54 haven't gone his way.
03:55 And he said it wasn't deserved.
03:57 And he wants to bring the belt back to Iran.
04:00 He said he looks up to people like George Foreman, Mike
04:03 Tyson, Canelo, Triple G. And I think
04:06 he is proving that as well.
04:08 Emre Diwali is a very, very calm fighter.
04:11 So although he took some big shots in that first round,
04:14 don't count him out yet.
04:15 He is a very, very intelligent boxer
04:17 who has been boxing for a very long time, representing
04:20 Rage Fight Academy.
04:21 Round number two.
04:27 A big shot to start the round.
04:33 Both fighters holding the center of the ring,
04:40 trying to set up a good fight.
04:41 Both fighters holding the center of the ring,
04:43 trying to set up their power shots.
04:45 And a nice double jab by Sajjad.
04:47 And again, another body shot, and two times.
04:56 He is trying to hurt Emre to the body early on.
05:00 Maybe Sajjad knows something we don't,
05:02 but he's landed that body shot several times
05:05 in this fight already.
05:07 But the Frenchman is putting the pressure on Sajjad.
05:10 If you've taken some big shots, the last thing you want to do
05:12 is put the pressure on.
05:13 But I think Emre is trying to prove something.
05:15 I think he wants to prove that he's not hurt.
05:17 Some nice inside boxing by both opponents.
05:26 And another beautiful body shot landed by Sajjad.
05:30 A very Mickey Ward style boxing, where
05:32 you tap to the head and then try and land
05:34 a shot to the body.
05:35 And both fighters have trading leather.
05:38 Some nice power shots landed by both of these opponents.
05:43 This is a great start to a title fight
05:46 here at the Lumpini Stadium in Thailand.
05:49 Both fighters leaning on each other,
05:54 trying to get a little bit of an edge,
05:56 trying to land a power shot.
05:57 Now what you can see is they actually
05:59 put their head on the opposite shoulder of their opponent
06:02 to avoid being hit by their power shot.
06:04 I think Sajjad is trying to set up another big, big body shot.
06:07 He's tapping to the head of the Frenchman,
06:10 trying to get underneath.
06:11 And there it is, a nice right hand
06:19 to the temple of Emre, and then a left hand
06:21 to the liver of Emre.
06:23 Sajjad is a very, very powerful man, but so is Emre.
06:27 Emre has not taken a back foot, even though he's
06:29 been hit by the Frenchman.
06:30 He's got a very good back foot.
06:31 So is Emre.
06:32 Emre has not taken a back foot, even though he's
06:34 been hit with some very hard shots.
06:35 He's not once taken a back foot in this fight.
06:37 Sajjad is coming off a very recent victory
06:44 against Prince Tete, who is also a fantastic fighter as well.
06:50 And it looks like he's hurt his opponent.
06:53 Crowd is going wild.
06:59 Sometimes a good cheering section
07:02 will persuade the judges in your favor.
07:05 So hopefully the judges have some headphones on
07:07 so they do not hurt the audience as well.
07:10 Some nice in close boxing 10 seconds ago of this round.
07:20 And both fighters look pretty tired already,
07:26 and it's only the second round.
07:28 What a fantastic war we are seeing already.
07:31 You can see Emre breathing quite heavily,
07:42 and I think he might have a slight cut
07:44 on the top of his right eye.
07:46 Let's see some fight action replays.
07:48 And it was that fantastic liver shot
07:52 that Emre has just taken twice.
07:55 And Sajjad just teeing off on Emre.
07:58 And again, in close fighting.
08:07 Both fighters are inside the pocket,
08:11 trading some very, very heavy shots.
08:15 Considering this is a 10 round fight,
08:18 it is very hard to keep taking body shots
08:21 and having enough energy to be in the 10th round.
08:24 So I think if Emre is going to eat those body shots,
08:27 he needs to try and take Sajjad out very early.
08:31 Round number three, underwear.
08:33 We have Sajjad Murabi from Iran
08:35 with the black shorts and the bronze trim,
08:37 and Emre Duhaili from France
08:40 with the yellow shorts and the black trim.
08:42 Emre has got eight wins in the professional boxing world,
08:48 and eight of those wins by way of knockout.
08:50 Sajjad, only three wins in professional boxing,
08:54 but over 100 fights in everything else.
08:56 But Sajjad, I think, is showing everyone
08:59 that he is a very, very good boxer.
09:03 For someone who's only had five fights in professional boxing,
09:05 he is showing how good he is.
09:08 Emre, the Frenchman, is a very tough, tough fighter
09:16 and has not gone down to any of these big shots.
09:19 But Sajjad looks like he's got a lot of energy
09:22 and is, again, trying to prove
09:24 that these belts belong in Iran.
09:26 Some nice body work by Emre,
09:30 and leaning on Sajjad.
09:33 He's got his head on the right side of Sajjad
09:35 so he cannot get his power shots off.
09:37 A very, very intelligent move by Emre Duhaili.
09:41 We need to see a little bit more movement from both fighters.
09:46 But Sajjad has, again, taken the bait
09:49 here and just putting on the pressure of Emre.
09:52 When you know your opponent is tired,
09:56 that's the time you need to put the pressure on.
09:59 Do not give them an inch to breathe or recover.
10:02 Sajjad right now needs to put the pressure on.
10:05 Some very hard shots.
10:12 A nice body shot landed by Emre
10:17 just behind the elbow of Sajjad.
10:20 And again, you can see why Sajjad is a big fan of George Foreman.
10:23 He likes to be in close and throw some huge
10:26 looping hooks to his opponent.
10:28 Now remember, Emre has had over 122 fights.
10:34 He was a Muay Thai champion.
10:36 He won a championship in France in 2007.
10:39 A Muay Thai championship in 2009.
10:41 He's been in the ring several times,
10:43 but he has gone down!
10:45 And Sajjad has put him in the ring.
10:48 Has put his opponent to the floor.
10:51 Emre just needs to bite on his gum shield,
10:55 breathe heavily, and just try and survive
10:58 the rest of this round.
11:00 Sajjad has smelt blood and he's going in for the kill.
11:05 And Emre has gone down again.
11:07 The Frenchman has gone down.
11:10 The ref is waving it off.
11:12 Sajjad said he wanted to prove something
11:14 and he wanted to bring those belts back to Iran.
11:17 What a fantastic performance by Sajjad Marabi.
11:22 All credit to Emre.
11:25 Emre is a fantastic fighter.
11:28 He's only been in the professional boxing world
11:30 for two years.
11:31 I am sure we're gonna see Emre very, very soon.
11:34 Emre, let's see some of these fight replays here.
11:42 Sajjad stalking his opponent
11:46 like a tiger on a gazelle
11:48 and just drops him.
11:51 And again, it was that shot behind the guard
11:53 that set up the body shot.
11:56 Again, watch this.
11:57 Around the guard and then to the body.
12:00 It is very hard to deal with large, heavy head shots
12:05 and heavy body shots.
12:07 Fantastic fight.
12:09 Credit to both fighters.
12:10 And big respect to Emre Duali.
12:12 I'm sure we're gonna see again.
12:14 But Sajjad Marabi, he did exactly what he wanted to do.
12:19 He's bringing those belts back to Iran.
