00:00 importantly protect yourself at all times shake hands. Well don't blink with this young fella
00:06 Barney Smith his last three all first round knockouts in a total time of two minutes and
00:13 45 seconds and he says he's looking for another first round knockout tonight let's watch and enjoy
00:19 talented kid Winston Barney Smith and against an opponent who's only been stopped once in his last
00:27 18 contests so a bit of a toughie and yes it'll be a another test for Barney Royce and Barney Smith
00:33 Barney Smith really lets his hands go
00:38 won his last one with a body shot against Lester Lara and Nick Araguan who came over in February
00:46 he doesn't just flail away he picks his shots and I think that's what's impressed people so far
00:56 very skillful boxers the Barney Smith again well schooled works well look at that for timing right
01:02 on cue there just adjust his feet maintains a gap and then brings his opponent on just straight left
01:07 hand great boxing the Mexican himself has eight wins inside three rounds but he's been stopped
01:15 on five occasions and Barney Smith will be wanting to add to that tally only turned pro last year
01:25 here and got the experience of Ben Davison in his corner who I know speaks volumes of this lad
01:35 fast hands accurate well-timed stuff again from Barney Smith he's waiting Flores to come over
01:52 that front foot he's patient he's just picking off the with the jab there but it's his adjustment
01:57 with the feet to maintain that gap and let his opponent walk forward and then fire back with
02:02 fast counters that's pretty skillful and well-timed and counter punching from Barney Smith
02:10 Flores trying to get lucky with an overhand right of his own there
02:19 tonight in his 42nd professional contest
02:22 oh Royston Barney Smith hasn't really been able to nail him yet
02:40 well it's mainly because Flores he's not coming over the front foot as Barney Smith would hope
02:45 he's not coming over that front foot as much um as Barnsford would have hoped for I think Flores
02:51 knows he's in against a pretty um good puncher who performs well in the in the first round of
02:56 contest so he's just staying wearily on the outside as Flores and I don't blame him to be quite honest
03:02 because when he does come forward that's when he's going to walk on to a big shot
03:05 last few seconds of the opening round which Smith has won
03:14 no he's not giving a knock down yes he is he's given a knock down there
03:18 well let's have a look and see how that came because there was a little short punch which
03:30 went in there Richie which caught him yes right at the end of the shot let's have a look at it again
03:37 and as he's coming forward Flores misses with his look around the back of the head yeah did really
03:44 so I don't know whether it was really a shot there it's just literally on the side of the
03:47 head and towards the back of the head but the referee um gave the count
03:51 well Flores didn't like it not surprisingly
03:58 my Spanish ain't too good but I know for a fact he's not too impressed
04:08 I'd agree with you there John I don't think he's too impressed indeed but a good round
04:14 for Barnett Smith well if we go down as a 10-8 once it's definitely that knock down
04:18 whether it really should have been a knock down is open to
04:24 interpretation I'm not too convinced but there we go referees the man nearest Kieran McCann
04:31 better again from Barnett Smith on his front foot when you have an opponent who's sitting
04:36 back and won't come forward then you've got to make him come forward if that's the way
04:40 you want to box and catch him as he has he's actually moving forward and closing that gap
04:44 down there there he wasn't too far away you make him come forward with your lead hand you keep
04:49 poking and probing away with that shot to make him to come over his front foot totally outboxing at
04:54 range for him to come forward and thinking well I'm losing this contest I've got to do something
04:58 about this then as he comes forward that's the trap that you're setting and then you bring him
05:02 onto the shot which your lead hand that does all the work almost got him with the right uppercut
05:07 there Flores slipped inside and almost was made to pay
05:12 so that's better work there from Barnett Smith and then Flores just comes forward
05:21 and gets caught that lead hand of his is going to be crucial here tonight
05:25 just keep picking away scoring points and then bringing the opponent onto shots like that that's
05:32 not too bad at all from Barnett Smith
05:34 Barnett Smith still very much on the learning curve
05:41 trying to get Flores to commit himself and this time the referee does have a word with him about
05:55 a punch around the back of the head what he's going to say is on the referee here
06:01 yeah there you go you know it's coming I'm the guy in charge yeah definitely
06:05 you can understand Flores being a bit hacked off he's been caught by a couple which he reckons were
06:13 clearly around the back of the head
06:15 you can see how he's thinking here Flores as well he's trying to land his right hand he's
06:21 thinking of the right hand but he's too far out and that's his problem he's thinking about going
06:26 forward getting picked up there he's there look right on cue you can see how he's thinking Flores
06:30 wants to land his right hand there he is again but as he's coming forward he gets picked up
06:35 yeah and he's going to be kicked he's going to get clipped by something more substantial surely
06:41 that's going to come almost there he's coming in throwing himself at Barney Smith off balance
06:48 and sooner or later you get the impression he's going to get tagged yeah he's going to get tagged
06:52 he's just too far out what he's got to do is work with his own lead and double up his jab
06:57 and quicken his feet up then throw that right hand that's what he's got to do and he's just
07:02 too far out there he's again wild swing he's getting a bit frustrated this all falls into
07:08 Barney Smith's way of boxing yep this is clear clear round for Barney Smith he had a 10-8 in
07:15 the opener and he's absolutely dominated this one as well and Flores lending nothing of note in this
07:22 second round and a little left cross the last scoring punch from the home favorite
07:28 welcome back to York Hall talented youngster from Lyss in Hampshire Royston Barney Smith
07:37 in control of this featherweight fighter six rounder against a Maxia Cun Christian Lopez Flores
07:51 had a knockdown in the opening round of a soft one with a punch which looked as though it was
07:56 around the back of the head Flores gambling throwing big swings in the second and almost
08:03 being made to pay for it big time you can only make so many of those mistakes John Flores the
08:11 way he comes forward he's going to walk on to a couple of good shots here I heard Ben Davison in
08:16 that corner say no switch to the body bring him on to a couple of body shots and he wants him to
08:22 concentrate downstairs occasionally but up to now so he's Barney Smith's having to think a little bit
08:29 more against a fairly dangerous opponent with that right hand but like we've said he's too far out
08:37 throwing it and at the moment Barney Smith boxing very sensibly behind his straight jabs and straight
08:43 left hands he's boxing well Lopez trying to utilize his left hand lead a bit more in this
08:52 round it was just big swings from both blanks in round two but he doesn't technically look as
09:02 though he's got what it takes to overcome the southpaw style of Barney Smith that's where he
09:09 wants to be though up close yeah not too bad there from Flores he did get close on that occasion and
09:14 land a good right hand from these best shots of the contest so far so you know a glimmer of success
09:22 there that's what he's got to do he's got to close that gap and he certainly did on that occasion
09:27 yeah
09:40 Ben Davison calling out to his fighter to keep
09:44 under pressure keep working out behind that southpaw jab little feints here and there as
09:54 well from Barney Smith yeah he's boxing like I said he's boxing very sensibly here he's not
10:01 coming over his front foot not making too many mistakes Barney Smith he wants Flores to commit
10:06 himself to me yeah exactly that's why those feints come in occasionally with that front foot in that
10:10 front hand just wants Flores to react to that and to come forward and make the mistake for me Flores
10:18 has got to up the tempo again the pace is suited Barney Smith down to the ground he's controlling
10:24 it with that lead hand but not finding the target with that left hand bomb which is the big punch in
10:31 his arsenal was partially blocked almost found the target with that chopping left hand last few
10:47 seconds of a third round another round for Barney Smith but he's just finding Flores a little bit
10:54 tough to tackle
10:56 not quite working out as the quick bowl over that some people possibly
11:07 Royston Barney Smith included perhaps that they thought it was going to be
11:14 John a little bit awkward you don't really um dance to the tune as they say
11:19 he's winning it he's winning every round you just got to be patient and stick to his boxing
11:26 I think the more Flores comes forward and if he can get him to come forward more and more
11:33 opportunities will be there for for Barney Smith but he's boxing sensible up to now
11:38 you're giving him all three yeah definitely hands down just glimpses occasionally of Flores
11:45 landing the odd shot here and there getting close enough with overall Barney Smith boxing very well
11:50 Barney Smith coming out with a little bit more intent maybe in this fourth round looking to land
12:02 something powerful early on
12:08 so he's been here several times he's only won one of his 11 11 contests here
12:24 in the UK he's well known to us he's a tough cookie and he can be very awkward
12:31 and in a lot of ways he represents a step up in class for Barney Smith which
12:35 now in the sixth fight of his fledgling professional career is exactly what he needs
12:40 all about being patient with your boxing break the opponent down and the opportunities will come
12:50 and in this situation the more Flores comes over that front foot the more opportunities will
12:56 appear for Barney Smith and again lead hand all the time keep working with that lead hand
13:01 yeah doubled up beautifully didn't he with that right hand two jabs right on target
13:06 and it's making Flores a little bit hesitant in committing himself to coming forward
13:13 good work there from Barney Smith a couple of good shots then he adjusted his feet
13:19 didn't come forward and spot back to the safety zone
13:24 and that's as i said sensible boxing there from Barney Smith
13:31 this is where Barney Smith wants him
13:46 and that's where he's probably going to switch to the body occasionally listening to his corner
13:50 that's what Ben Davison wanted from him so he's landing well to the head
13:54 when he backs him up onto the ropes then switch the attack which will hurt his opponent downstairs
14:15 fourth round reaching its conclusion
14:17 and a nice right hand from Royston Barney Smith last big scoring shot
14:26 in the dressing room Ezra Taylor is going to be next in the ring
14:37 an international light heavyweight contest against Khalid Ghraidiyah
14:43 Taylor an exciting talent from Nottingham
14:45 knocking his trainer's glasses off that wasn't very gentlemanly was it
14:54 no not at all but looking impressive there looking great
14:57 struggling a little bit with it because you're putting too much emphasis on
15:04 loading up the one shot yeah take the biggest thing out of it keep yourself balanced you're able to go again
15:10 you agree with that Richie put some combinations together don't telegraph the one big shot
15:17 yeah that's right Ben Davison has said that yeah i get what he's saying i think he's boxing well up
15:24 to now but obviously Ben Davison in the nose he's boxer inside out he's lowered up just a little bit
15:29 with the single shot so he wants to see more combinations from him Ben really is one of the
15:35 great students of the sport there's too many who watch more fights than he does
15:42 and played a big role in getting Tyson Fury back to the top of the sports yeah absolutely
15:54 so
16:02 so
16:28 so again Flores the way he's looking too far out right hand on his mind to
16:34 swing and shot over the top Barney Smith standing tall and adjusting his feet
16:41 going backwards and maintaining the gap Flores um some real problems in there look he's trying
16:48 to get close look there's the shot there's that right hand he swings it in a little bit closer
16:52 on that occasion
17:02 well after sort of a fairly entertaining opening round the styles for me haven't really quite
17:16 jelled in this fight in the fifth round now and it's a learning process isn't it but
17:24 just sense that Barney Smith has kind of as he run out of ideas just to touch maybe he needs to
17:31 double up his attacks on so there was an attack there from that was good needed to go again
17:35 probably double up the attacks a little bit more put the combinations together like his coach has said
17:41 the single shots um they're probably not enough now Flores is not making those same mistakes so
17:48 he's probably just got to go through the gears a little bit up the tempo double up the attacks and
17:53 quicken things up the tempo a little bit more Flores getting in with a couple of body shots there
18:00 no great damage done left hand looked as though it was the more powerful shots
18:11 only one more round to go after this
18:12 Flores trying to finish it Lopez Flores trying to finish this as the man on the front foot
18:23 and he's given Royston Barney Smith plenty to think about
18:39 there was a little spell there where he was nice and consistent being first
18:42 whether he's going off first or threatening to be first kept him on the defensive
18:46 that's what you need to maintain yeah keeping him under threat too long of a spell
18:59 were you looking to bring him onto the show looking for one big downer
19:04 well the two men as is traditional touch gloves
19:24 last round is it's one going to go the distance it certainly looks that way
19:28 that's what will be on Flores his mind now just to get to the end of this round he's made things
19:35 awkward Barney Smith would have looked like the stoppage of course he would but you know
19:42 we're not going to stop every opponent these are learning contests
19:45 we'll look back at this if he gets through if he's the winner certainly took every round up to now
19:52 i'm just going to keep concentrating and just keep working away but you'll probably look back
19:56 and see that he should have up the tempo here and there maybe gone um like i said double up
20:02 the attacks but nevertheless he's won every round against an awkward opponent fairly dangerous
20:07 and you're not going to blow everybody you're not going to knock everyone out
20:11 at the end of the day it just doesn't happen
20:18 so
20:26 coming up still to come we've got Ezra Taylor against Carly Gradier
20:35 Mark Chamberlain against Marvin Damalari IVF European lightweight title and David Adelaide
20:43 our last fight of the night heavyweight action against Emiya Armatovich better work for Barney
20:51 Smith there just went through the gears didn't he up the tempo good attack on his opponent in
20:56 in his opponent's corner and then just came back out then went back in again so that was good from
21:01 Barney Smith
21:09 lads
21:17 occasionally he's got close with the odd shot here and there
21:31 been untidy though a lot of it and very inside the quality of his work you know isn't he
21:36 isn't in the same league as uh the quality of his punching but nevertheless it's quite a dangerous
21:43 opponent i think but uh because Barney Smith hasn't made any mistakes certainly Flores hasn't
21:51 drawn him into a toe-to-toe battle and he's boxed very well at mid and long range Barney
21:56 Smith he's a skillful kid so he doesn't make too many mistakes and that's the problem for flies
22:03 so the last few seconds and then we find out if the score is as we think emphatically
22:14 in the direction of the Hampshire youngster
22:17 Lopez Flores sees it to the final bell but surely Royston Barney Smith will have made it six out of
22:28 six certainly looks that way overall a good performance from Barney Smith i think his corner
22:37 will be relatively happy it's another win he's stopped his last three opponents remember but
22:42 you're not going to stop everyone it's a learning contest against an awkward opponent look good in
22:46 spells this fella's played his part and played his role occasionally got through with the odd
22:50 shot but uh Barney Smith it was and it was in another league in terms of his boxing ability
22:54 but a good six round workout for Royston Barney Smith yeah and you've got to remember this lad
23:00 only 19 years old sugar boy Roy and it's still a learning process looking to pick up experience of
23:09 different styles of different sorts of fights this is going to be a win but he'll have easier
23:15 nights than the one he had tonight the result is there now Dev Sarnie is fair jumping at the
23:22 bit to give us the results and here it comes ladies and gentlemen after six rounds of boxing
23:31 your referee Kieran McCann scores the contest 60 53 to your winner and still undefeated sugar boy
23:46 he takes every round there was the first round knockdown therefore the margin of 7.60 to 53
23:56 Royston Barney Smith 19 years old wins again and it's now six professional victories out of six
24:03 John Ritchie you mentioned it the boy needs the round
