00:00 >> Gentlemen, this is for the IBO lightweight championship of the world and the IBF title
00:07 eliminator.
00:08 Conduct yourself as champions.
00:09 You received your instructions earlier.
00:11 Give us a spirited, clean fight.
00:14 Protect yourself at all times.
00:15 Follow my instructions.
00:16 That's the foul line.
00:17 That's the foul line.
00:18 Let's go.
00:19 >> Joe Tessitore and Tim Bradley ringside with you here in Oklahoma for the return of
00:24 George Gambosa.
00:25 Tim says he's an improved fighter.
00:27 He's refreshed.
00:28 He looks back at the Haney stuff as a learning experience.
00:31 Interestingly, he mentioned that Devin Haney himself has reached out, has given him some
00:36 advice, has given him some pointers as to what he does.
00:39 What are you looking forward to see if George Gambosa is indeed a different fighter than
00:44 the one we most recently saw?
00:46 >> It's all about the setup.
00:47 You know, everything off his jab.
00:48 But tonight is going to be about tempo.
00:50 The tempo matters tonight for Gambosa.
00:53 Pressure, you know, has a way of disrupting the pure boxers when it's done right.
00:58 And he's going to have to pressure Maxie.
01:00 You know, Maxie is pretty good with his feet.
01:02 He gets in and out.
01:03 It's all about for Maxie on the other side, it's about standing in the center of the ring
01:07 and dominating the center of the ring, keeping his back up off those ropes and catching Gambosa
01:14 as he tries to come in and commit.
01:17 >> Southpaw Hughes probing with that jab with range.
01:21 He is the pure boxer, as Timmy has mentioned.
01:25 >> See right now I'm seeing Gambosa is moving to his right.
01:29 You traditionally want to move to your left when you're fighting against a Southpaw.
01:32 >> Stay away from that power hand.
01:33 >> Stay away from the power hand.
01:34 >> Although Hughes does not possess much power.
01:36 >> But he's moving towards it still.
01:38 He can still point with it.
01:43 Maxie Hughes is going to be looking to set up that left hand.
01:45 Waiting on George to step in.
01:52 There it is.
01:53 >> Good hands from Maxie Hughes.
01:56 >> And as long as George is going that way, he's going to be able to land it.
02:08 I tell you this, I do like that double right hand.
02:10 You don't see that often with a Southpaw versus an Orthodox fighter.
02:14 Double right hands.
02:15 How many times do you think a Southpaw sees a double right hand coming?
02:18 He doesn't see it often.
02:21 Some good stuff right there from Gambosa.
02:24 >> Gambosa is trying to range find a bit with that left hand, that lead hand.
02:34 >> Yeah, he's trying to keep his hand on top of Hughes' lead hand.
02:41 That's important.
02:42 You've got to dominate.
02:43 It's called lead hand dominance.
02:44 You've got to dominate that lead hand.
02:45 And if you can take that out of the equation, then all you have to worry about is one punch.
02:50 And that's the backhand of the opposition.
03:00 We saw it with Tank versus Garcia.
03:02 We saw that.
03:03 Tank kept his hand on top of Garcia's lead hand, not allowing him to use his left hook.
03:09 >> Gambosa comes forward, trying to fire that right hand to the body.
03:16 >> It was a powerful first round by George Gambosa to find the high water mark of his
03:22 career.
03:23 And that's when he forward to Yefimo Lopez on the night when he shocked the world.
03:29 >> George is explosive.
03:30 He closes that gap quickly.
03:32 That right hand to the body came in extremely fast.
03:36 Hughes wasn't aware.
03:37 That's a good shot right there from Hughes.
03:44 >> If you thought one napkin for the quarter pounder with cheese was enough, it's not enough.
03:59 >> We're Carvana, the company who invented car vending machines and buying a car 100%
04:04 online.
04:05 Now we've created a brand new way for you to sell your car.
04:07 Whether it's a year old or a few years old, we want to buy your car.
04:11 So go to Carvana.

04:17 value and gives you a real offer in seconds.
04:20 When you're ready, we'll come to you, pay you on the spot and pick up your car.
04:24 That's it.
04:25 So ditch the old way of selling your car and say hello to the new way at Carvana.
04:29 >> Thursday night thunder is back.
04:31 >> Green flag and we're racing in the camping world srx series.
04:35 >> For each one of these drivers, it's also going to be an awful lot of fun testing themselves
04:39 against the superstars of racing.
04:44 >> Round two here in Oklahoma.
04:45 Kambosis with nine punches landed in the first round.
04:48 Maxey Hughes with six punches landed in that round.
04:52 >> Left hand at the end of that first round to the body, Timmy.
04:57 >> Just timing the rush in.
04:58 You see Kambosis leaving his feet right there, coming in, trying to attack the southpaw.
05:04 Nice little shot placed right underneath on that rib on the right side of George.
05:09 And I think that's a spot that Hughes is trying to commit to often.
05:14 Beautiful counter again from Maxey right there.
05:17 Taking that right hand on to land his left hand.
05:21 See, you never want to allow a pure boxer who's tactically sound, who's tactically sound
05:30 to have a lot of time to think like this.
05:32 You know, George is going to either have to make a decision to step on the gas pedal.
05:37 You know, maybe it's still a little bit too early for him right now, but sooner or later
05:41 he's going to have to make a change in his game plan.
05:43 He's trying to sit on the outside and outbox Maxey.
05:46 There's that jab I was talking about.
05:47 Those hands are low from Kambosis.
06:02 Again I don't understand why he has his foot placed on the inside trying to shoot a jab
06:06 in the right hand.
06:07 And I'm talking about Kambosis.
06:09 You usually want to try to get your foot on the outside.
06:11 Yes, you can move right, you can move left.
06:14 I understand that, but when you look to throw that right hand or throw any combinations,
06:19 you have better chances of landing cleaner shots by getting that foot on the outside
06:22 of the lead foot of the southpaw.
06:25 See if he can find that position.
06:26 Right now they're nearly stepping on each other's lead foot as Hughes finds success.
06:33 Three punch combination.
06:38 He'll stand his ground.
06:39 He'll take a few off the gloves, but he'll stay tight and he'll fire back.
06:46 So George is going to have to get his offense off and then he's going to have to think about
06:49 defense.
06:50 What's after that to avoid the shots or the counterattack from Hughes.
07:05 See it's the distance in between that I believe that George is worried about.
07:08 Now they say Hughes don't have power.
07:10 Beautiful right hand.
07:12 Perfect time.
07:13 But that distance in between.
07:14 It's a little further away.
07:17 Left head is a little further away for the orthodox fighter.
07:21 Good right hand from George.
07:28 Good timing from George.
07:38 There the clap.
07:39 Both men willing to fire.
07:40 Caught him coming in.
07:48 Tens of thousands of customers wrote about Carvana being fast in their five star reviews,
07:52 including Sheena.
07:53 This was our second purchase through Carvana.
07:55 It was super easy and really fast.
07:57 This time we traded in a car and couldn't believe how easy it was.
08:01 And we found the car our family really needed and in red.
08:05 First thing I know our new car was here and our trade in was gone.
08:09 Bye.
08:10 Ta-da.
08:11 I literally tell people all the time how fast and easy Carvana is.
08:15 Buy your car with Carvana today.
08:19 The second half is here and the push to the postseason begins.
08:23 Steal a home and he will do it.
08:27 Give us next level superstars.
08:28 And the sounds of the game.
08:29 That was fun.
08:35 You all might need to come around more.
08:41 Sunday night baseball.
08:43 Sundays at 7 all season long.
08:48 Back here in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
08:49 Round number three of our 12 round IBF lightweight title eliminator between George Cambosis and
08:56 Maxie Hughes.
08:58 And we're back with the news.
09:00 We're back with the new season.
09:01 We're back with the new season.
09:02 We're back with the new season.
09:03 We're back with the new season.
09:04 We're back with the new season.
09:05 We're back with the new season.
09:06 We're back with the new season.
09:07 We're back with the new season.
09:08 We're back with the new season.
09:09 We're back with the new season.
09:10 We're back with the new season.
09:11 We're back with the new season.
09:12 We're back with the new season.
09:13 We're back with the new season.
09:14 We're back with the new season.
09:15 We're back with the new season.
09:16 We're back with the new season.
09:17 We're back with the new season.
09:18 We're back with the new season.
09:19 We're back with the new season.
09:20 We're back with the new season.
09:28 Let's check in with Bernardo.
09:29 I just spoke with Don House, the new trainer for George Cambosis for this fight.
09:34 And I asked him what he wanted to see here.
09:35 And he says, "Look, George can't continue to pull straight back, and he's got to get behind the jab to open up that defense."
09:41 Tim, what do you make of the trainer change for George Cambosis?
09:45 Well, he had no choice.
09:47 One of his other trainers had to go back home due to a family death.
09:51 So he had to get someone to train him.
09:56 But it takes a little while, again, to get used to the new style and the new techniques of what the trainer is trying to instill in you.
10:05 But I think it's working tonight for George because Maxie Hughes--
10:11 Ooh, beautiful uppercut by Maxie Hughes.
10:14 Maxie Hughes doesn't have a whole lot of firepower to make George Cambosis be what George Cambosis truly is.
10:25 Bring out the old George Cambosis.
10:28 See, from this distance, George can take his time and he can think.
10:33 But right now, Maxie Hughes right now is making George pay when he steps forward from a far out distance.
10:41 Ooh, big shots by both men right there.
10:55 Cambosis getting the better of that exchange with that right hand.
10:58 Maxie Hughes is not getting his head up off that line.
11:00 He's looking to time George, but at the same time, he's keeping his head on that line and George is coming in behind a double right hand.
11:07 Stop, stop, Brooks, come back, come back.
11:17 See, you push down on your opponent's head like that.
11:20 Any chance you get him in that position because you're making him do a squat.
11:25 You're weakening his legs.
11:27 Ooh, that body shot right there.
11:30 You could hear it.
11:31 That hurt George, no doubt about it.
11:33 You see him tuck forward after getting hit with that shot and he's playing it off right now.
11:37 Right in the pit of the stomach.
11:40 If you thought one napkin for the quarter pounder with cheese was enough.
11:55 It's not enough.
12:06 Tens of thousands of customers wrote about Carvana being smooth in their five star reviews, including Terry.
12:12 To be honest, I thought it was almost too smooth, but Carvana was super transparent from beginning to end.
12:17 Car details, financing, every step and there were no surprises.
12:21 Well, my monthly payment did come out lower than expected.
12:24 Then I got to pick up my Mustang at the vending machine and it was so fun and exciting, I did a little dance.
12:29 Trust me, financing my car with Carvana was super smooth.
12:33 Finance your next car with Carvana today.
12:36 Steve, my name is Steve too.
12:39 Question, how can you relate to just about anyone?
12:42 ESPN Fantasy Football.
12:44 Hey, do you like Jefferson this week?
12:45 Oh, that's a good call, Steve.
12:47 Maxie Hughes potentially gaining some confidence after that work to the body he did in that third round.
12:55 Look at this, this is textbook stuff right here.
12:57 This is how you systematically break down your opponent right here.
13:00 Targeting that body, targeting that liver right there.
13:03 Good job by Maxie Hughes.
13:05 Finding a home for that left hand downstairs.
13:09 That's been the shot for him all night.
13:14 You see the response from George right there as he folds over.
13:17 That shot hurt him, but he played it off well.
13:20 See the punches last round, Maxie Hughes outlanding Kambosis.
13:26 10 to 3.
13:29 See, George gives it away when he's going to attack.
13:32 Bernard, are you able to listen in to Sean O'Hagan in the corner of Maxie Hughes?
13:37 I actually spoke to Sean O'Hagan, his trainer, and I asked him what he wanted to see.
13:41 He says he's got to keep dominating round by round.
13:43 We can't get carried away with landing a good body shot like we did.
13:47 He's just got to stay consistent and keep the pressure on.
13:50 Staying consistent, one of the keys to a boxer pulling an upset like this.
13:58 See, and George hasn't fought a southpaw since his third professional fight.
14:02 Doesn't have a whole lot of experience.
14:06 I know he sparred many rounds, over 250 rounds, but that was some time ago.
14:11 There's a double right hand.
14:17 See, the only advantage that the southpaw has is that he's used to fighting right handers.
14:24 That's the advantage. Other than that, there's really no advantage.
14:28 Both guys can land their backhands.
14:30 And the lead hand is all about battling position.
14:35 But you can see, Maxie's a little bit more comfortable fighting against the orthodox.
14:43 George looks a little bewildered at times.
14:47 See how you get caught with spots like that, with shots.
14:50 Yes, it looks like George is getting better at that exchange.
14:54 But you're not seeing the small little play shots to the midsection of Maxie Hughes.
14:59 See, Maxie Hughes' production with the jabs compared to what he did in previous copy box.
15:06 Good shot right there from George.
15:08 Let his hands go at the right time, catching Maxie Hughes out of position.
15:13 Again, his feet are on the inside.
15:20 See, that's the technical stuff that I'm talking about, Tess.
15:23 Not getting close to the ropes, stepping in, Maxie Hughes stepping in and tying up George and not allowing him to work.
15:29 You see the promotion for Tuesday, July 25th in what is a spectacular fight at Junior Featherweight.
15:35 As Stephen Fulton puts his unified titles on the line against one of the pound for pound best in the world now.
15:41 In a way, the monster coverage will begin at 4.30am Eastern.
15:45 We expect the main event approximately at 8am Eastern and then the fight's available all day long on ESPN+.
15:52 If you thought one napkin for the quarter pounder with cheese was enough...
15:59 It's not enough.
16:10 Tens of thousands of customers wrote about Carvana being smooth in their five-star reviews, including Terri.
16:16 To be honest, I thought it was almost too smooth, but Carvana was super transparent from beginning to end.
16:21 Car details, financing, every step and there were no surprises.
16:25 Well, my monthly payment did come out lower than expected.
16:27 Then I got to pick up my Mustang at the vending machine and it was so fun and exciting I did a little dance.
16:32 Trust me, financing my car with Carvana was super smooth.
16:36 Finance your next car with Carvana today.
16:40 Get ready. Slam Ball makes its triumphant return to the iconic city, Las Vegas.
16:45 Football and basketball cultures collide. Stars will be born and legends will be made.
16:50 Slam Ball is back Thursday through Sunday.
16:53 Maxie Hughes has a 29-26 connect advantage as we begin round number five.
17:03 Mark Priegel, what does your scorecard read?
17:05 I got it. Three rounds to one. Maxie Hughes, listen, he told us, I've got what it takes to beat him.
17:13 I'm in the peak. He's got a great engine. He likes to talk.
17:16 Devin Boxton moved. That's me, but I'm a southpaw.
17:19 And to be frank about it, Cambosis looks befuddled by a southpaw.
17:23 And by the way, listen, he's not a guy who can give away rounds. He's not a knockout puncher.
17:28 No, he is not. Ten knockouts and 20 wins.
17:31 His new trainer is Don House. What is he saying, Bernardo?
17:34 Two things that are concerning him. First is the fact that the outside foot of Maxie Hughes
17:40 is not being controlled by Cambosis in terms of foot placement
17:43 and the fact that he keeps leaning towards Maxie Hughes' power hand.
17:47 So you can see it on this angle right here. You see it overhead. That's a great angle right there.
17:52 Watch the lead foot of Maxie Hughes, that black shoe on his right foot.
17:57 Right now it's to the outside. That is exactly where he wants it to be.
18:02 And Tim, to your point, when you get southpaw versus orthodox, you've got to be the other way.
18:07 He hurt him with that left hand.
18:09 And there's another left hand that comes in.
18:11 Look at Maxie. Maxie hurt him with that left hand.
18:13 So more confidence bubbling up from Maxie Hughes.
18:18 And he cut him. He's cut over his right eye. Cambosis is.
18:23 You can see a drip of blood coming down.
18:26 Stop, stop, stop, stop.
18:28 One of the many times George Cambosis has previously dealt with cuts over his eye.
18:35 Look at the counters in the distance right here from Maxie Hughes.
18:38 Doing a great job. Just taking a full step back.
18:41 Sometimes a half step back and firing as Cambosis comes right through that front door.
18:48 Sneaky body shot right there from Maxie.
18:50 Maxie's having his way right now. He's having a great moment.
18:53 It's a good round for him.
18:59 See, now you're starting to see the old Cambosis starting to come out.
19:03 You're starting to see him rush his shots.
19:05 His technique isn't there. His hands' placement is back down.
19:09 He's not doing the things that he used to do.
19:12 Not the new things now, Tess.
19:16 Stitch Durant's going to have to get to work after this fifth round.
19:21 Left hand from Maxie Hughes.
19:23 Biggest punch of the fight so far.
19:25 A cut above the right eye of George Cambosis.
19:28 See, Maxie's using footwork. That's what he's using.
19:31 Ring generalship to set up his attack.
19:33 Beautiful shot right there again from Maxie.
19:39 Cambosis is having his moments. He's landing jabs here and there.
19:42 And occasionally right hands.
19:46 But this is a good round.
19:48 This is probably one of the best rounds of this fight for Maxie.
19:51 Remember, Devin Haney opened up a cut over the right eye of George Cambosis back in October.
19:57 And now Hughes with a big moment.
20:00 [crowd cheering]
20:19 Nice. That's just a block right there.
20:21 A parry. The lead hand from Maxie Hughes.
20:25 And a straight left hand right down the middle.
20:27 And you see the foot placement.
20:29 That's the biggest issue right now with Cambosis.
20:32 He can't get his foot placement right.
20:35 And this is what opens up that cut.
20:37 That's a beautiful shot right on the top of the eye.
20:40 Great accuracy there.
20:41 Oh my goodness.
20:43 But again, Cambosis is doing a lot of the work for Maxie Hughes.
20:48 The foot placement. He's putting himself in position for that straight left hand.
20:53 He needs to get his foot or try to get his foot on the outside and exit the weak side of Maxie Hughes.
21:00 Which is his lead hand side.
21:03 Has to be a sense of urgency right now for George Cambosis.
21:10 A 15 to 7 connect advantage in the last round for Maxie Hughes.
21:19 Five losses in his career. A 12 year pro.
21:24 But he's won seven in a row.
21:26 And Timmy, when we met with him the other day, and I say this often,
21:28 there are times when you meet with fighters, you get a really clear picture as to where they are.
21:33 He was extremely confident.
21:35 He came in detailing how he went out of his way seeking this fight.
21:40 Feeling as though this is the perfect fight at the right time in his career.
21:45 Well right now, the fight's not over, but he's executing his plan.
21:50 He saw something in Cambosis that he can exploit.
21:53 And that's what he's trying to do right now.
21:56 He believed that he can beat him.
21:58 But now he has to prove it.
22:04 Oh, head butt clash right there by both men.
22:07 Maxie, big gash over the left eye.
22:10 Head butt clash just moments ago here in round number six.
22:16 Has opened up a cut above the left eye of Maxie Hughes.
22:24 Nice follow up. Maxie got out, exit the right way,
22:28 but Cambosis just sweeping with the left hook.
22:31 He's got him on his exit.
22:41 Meanwhile, Stitch Duran had to get to work, Bernardo, on the right eye of George Cambosis.
22:46 Yeah, he told me it's a pretty good size cut, and I'm going to have to earn my money tonight,
22:50 but I think I can get it under control.
22:52 And now we'll see what Tommy McCormick will have to do with Maxie Hughes' cut.
22:56 And in the meantime, another left hand from Maxie Hughes moments ago was able to land.
23:01 Stop, stop, bring your hands to your back.
23:12 Maxie is boxing his behind off tonight.
23:15 He is boxing his behind off.
23:17 He's stepping back. That step back game is crucial.
23:20 You know, when you make your man fall short and you catch him as he's coming in,
23:24 and Cambosis still hasn't figured it out yet,
23:26 that left hand keeps continuously finding a home for itself.
23:43 And there it is. There it is again.
24:00 Left hand comes from Maxie Hughes.
24:02 Remember, that cut was caused by a clash of heads early on in this round.
24:09 And as QPC eater knows, you should never let the catch of the false and the hot and juicy burger go to waste.
24:23 It's that New York City buzz.
24:26 It's fire on the court and off.
24:30 It's edging your seat and up on your feet.
24:33 It's U.S. Open energy.
24:37 UFC 291. Buy it on ESPN plus dot com slash PPV.
24:42 Mets, Red Sox, Fenway will be rocking on Sunday night baseball.
24:47 Question, what did you see? This is what I'm talking about. The step back game.
24:51 This is what Hughes is using against Cambosis.
24:54 Nice little short step back. Half a step back. Boom.
24:57 Counter uppercut. Nice little swivel jab on the inside.
25:01 Uppercut from the far out. Beautiful.
25:04 Just catching Cambosis as he gets overly aggressive, trying to close the distance and not doing it the right way.
25:10 Not doing it behind his jab. Getting his head over his front foot.
25:13 And it's just easy pickings for a slick boxer like Maxie Hughes.
25:18 And with that step back, just a little bit out of the danger zone.
25:22 And then countering a 49 to 44 connect advantage for Maxie Hughes.
25:27 Now, as for the head butts we saw in the last round.
25:31 Well, this was the one that did the most damage, causing that Z-shaped cut over the eye of Maxie.
25:39 See, and that happens often because, again, the right hands, both guys' back hands line up on the same side.
25:45 So when they shoot the right hand and if they lean just a tad bit forward,
25:48 and they don't have the opposite hand up, they're going to clash heads.
25:53 [crowd cheering]
25:56 See, I don't think I've seen Maxie on the ropes not once.
26:07 He hasn't been on the ropes once.
26:09 It's a great sign for him, but it's a bad sign for Cambosis.
26:13 That's where he's going to have most of his success.
26:16 He has to get him to the ropes so he can stay still and not be able to move and work his offense.
26:23 Bernardo, what do we need to know about that cut?
26:26 I spoke with Tommy McCormick and he says, "Look, it's just a superficial cut. I think I can keep it under control."
26:32 And just to confirm, referee Gary Ritter did get confirmation on the replay that it was head butts, so it has been ruled that way.
26:40 By the way, here in this commission that they're using in Shawnee, Oklahoma,
26:45 the tribal commission under the auspices of Joey Miller, they do have the use of replay.
26:51 Good right hand from George.
27:01 Cambosis starting to find a moment for his offense now.
27:05 He's just getting busy. That's what it's all about. It's about letting his hands go.
27:09 He let his hands go. Something will eventually land.
27:13 And Tessie's doing it without getting over his feet. That's important.
27:20 Because Maxie's going to be looking to time him on his way in.
27:24 Close the distance behind with your jab.
27:29 Beautiful shot right there.
27:32 It was a left hand by Hughes.
27:35 And then returned fire from Cambosis.
27:38 It was a double right hand, then the left hook. Sweeping left hook.
27:42 Cambosis seems like he's found something that he's exploiting.
27:49 Well, he better.
27:50 He's found something.
27:51 Because he's put himself in a hole early on.
27:54 That cut looks a little more than superficial on Maxie Hughes.
28:04 Time!
28:06 If you thought one napkin for the quarter pounder with cheese was enough.
28:12 It's not enough.
28:17 Why is Aaron happy?
28:24 Well, just days ago, his old wheels gave out.
28:27 But he knew Carvana had his back.
28:32 That's because Carvana had tens of thousands of cars under $20,000.
28:37 And with the new cosigner option, Aaron's folks were able to help him out with a new ride.
28:44 No way.
28:45 Yes way.
28:46 With the most cars under $20,000 and our new cosigner option, we'll drive you happy at Carvana.
28:52 This is the fight everybody wants to see.
29:00 Have you ever seen anything like Chuck's in Gatesview?
29:03 Buckle your seatbelts, ladies and gentlemen.
29:06 And listening in to the corners after round number seven, the Cambosis camp urging him to utilize the right hand.
29:14 You heard Don House say the right hand is there.
29:17 You gotta let it go.
29:18 Meanwhile, Maxie Hughes and his group, led by Sean O'Hagan, feels that continues to be an opportunity for them.
29:25 They say just keep looking for the counters.
29:27 As we are here in round number eight, Maxie Hughes has had some moments.
29:33 He had good work, especially in round number five when he caused a cut over the right eye of George Cambosis.
29:41 When he landed two big flush left hands, a clash of heads at round number six opened up a Z-shaped cut over the eye of Maxie Hughes.
29:50 And here we are in a title eliminator. Cambosis came in so confident with a plan to resurrect this stage of his career and get back into title contention.
29:59 Hughes is upset-minded.
30:01 Bernardo.
30:03 I just spoke with Don House and he told me, "Look, I need George to be more offensive. Double up the jab. Pull back. Bring Maxie in. Land the right hook. Follow it up with that left hook."
30:16 And that's what he just did moments ago. He also had success with it towards the end of round number seven.
30:21 Don House, the new Vegas-based trainer for George Cambosis.
30:26 That's a little trickery right there. Being deceptive with your offense.
30:31 That's what he wants to be. He wants to fire the jab, act like he's going to commit with the right hand, then throw the right hand, and then sweep with the left hook.
30:38 Because Maxie continuously moves on that weak side. The weak side is the lead hand of the orthodox fighter.
30:45 [crowd cheering]
30:53 So he's going to cut off that sweep. That's what he's looking for, to cut off that sweep.
30:57 But he can't just be hesitating and trying to think about it. He's got to be doing something.
31:03 And I'm saying Cambosis has to be doing something to set that up, to set that trap up. Use that jab to get him to move that way.
31:10 [crowd cheering]
31:18 Just subtle movement, creativity. Subtle movement right there from Maxie. Beautiful left hand.
31:23 Counter.
31:24 Don't grab his head. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
31:28 Nearly punched him in the back of the head there.
31:30 Reminder, you see it there. Tuesday, July 25th. One of the most anticipated fights in boxing.
31:36 As Stephen Fulton, the unified champion at Junior Featherweight, takes on the ultimate challenge,
31:42 the recent undisputed world champion at 118 pounds, the monster Naoya Inoue.
31:48 We will come on live with fight coverage at 4.30am Eastern Time, Tuesday morning.
31:55 The fight is in Tokyo, Japan. So 4.30am Eastern Time.
32:00 The main event, the super fight of Inoue Fulton, approximately 8am Eastern, then replayed all day long on ESPN+.
32:08 That is going to be a scene Tuesday.
32:10 [crowd cheering]
32:13 An experienced QPC eater knows you should never let the ketchup that falls from the hot and juicy burger go to waste.
32:29 We're Carvana, the company who invented car vending machines and buying a car 100% online.

32:54 So ditch the old way of selling your car.
32:56 [crowd cheering]
32:59 Look, I don't know who's going to win this fight, but I'm going to tell you this.
33:02 The commission needs to see this right here.
33:04 That's another elbow thrown by Maxie Hughes.
33:08 Another elbow thrown by him.
33:10 That is an illegal shot.
33:12 That is very dangerous for the fighter on the receiving end.
33:16 Mark Kregel, your scorecard.
33:18 Hey, Timmy, it's boxing. I got six rounds to two.
33:21 I got six rounds to two, Maxie.
33:25 I just see Sander MartÃn in this the whole way through.
33:30 I mean, Cambosis, it's about time he gets his foot outside, but listen, at six rounds to two,
33:36 Cambosis' last knockout was June 7, 2019.
33:41 You do the math.
33:42 There's a lot to take away from the comments you just made.
33:45 Earlier tonight, we discussed who is George Cambosis.
33:49 Is he a one-hit wonder that took advantage of a night that Teofimo López was dealing with
33:55 what come to find out was a life-threatening medical condition when he pulled the ultimate upset,
34:00 or is he the guy that was completely, utterly outclassed by Devin Haney?
34:05 And prior to that, a string of, let's call it, D-plus level split decision wins.
34:11 You also mentioned Sandor MartÃn.
34:14 MartÃn is the Spanish fighter, a European boxer like Maxie Hughes,
34:20 who came stateside and went up and had a very good performance against Teofimo López.
34:26 Some ringside observers felt that he deserved the decision, but to Mark's point,
34:31 here is Maxie Hughes, a European pure boxer, coming over here and perhaps not getting the credit
34:38 that he deserved entering this fight.
34:43 See, the thing is, is that I said before this,
34:47 possibly it was just the gifts of Devin Haney, speed, reach, the fact that he's a boxer, technically sound.
34:57 - Yeah, stylistically a nightmare matchup for George Cambosis. - Yeah, but,
35:00 George has a problem dealing with boxers, period.
35:05 And he's facing a Southpaw boxer in Maxie Hughes who's giving him all the fits in the world right now.
35:12 [crowd cheering]
35:17 You know who else is a boxer in this division? Shakur Stevenson.
35:20 Who is sitting ringside, and he's a supremely skilled boxer-puncher.
35:24 And you know who else is? [laughs]
35:27 Vasily Lomachenko. [laughs]
35:30 - Live at Bad News. - And if you missed it earlier,
35:33 Mark Riegel has detailed the fact that it is anticipated very soon we will hear that
35:38 Devin Haney is going to vacate his undisputed titles, move to 140 pounds,
35:43 take on Regis Probrey, and hopefully set up an absolute megafight spectacle
35:48 to unify belts against Teofimo Lopez in 2024.
35:53 Which would mean a lot of freedom at 135 pounds to collect belts.
35:58 This is a fight that would put one of these two men in position.
36:02 Shakur Stevenson, of course, would be in prime position to pick up the remnants at 135 pounds.
36:08 Good exchange to close out this round.
36:13 If you thought one napkin for the quarter pounder with cheese was enough...
36:20 It's not enough.
36:25 [music]
36:30 - Hey, enjoy your meal. - Thanks, you too.
36:50 Question, how do you recover from an awkward exchange?
36:54 Hey, don't forget to set your lineup tonight.
36:56 ESPN Fantasy Football.
36:57 - Thank you. - You too.
36:59 Give us baseball's next level superstars.
37:05 - Come on! - That was fun.
37:07 Y'all might need to come around more.
37:09 Sunday Night Baseball, Sundays at 7, all season long on ESPN.
37:14 As we begin the 10th round, you look at the CompuBox numbers
37:19 and you see that George Gamboses is only landing 19% of his total punches against Maxie Hughes.
37:26 Not that either guy has scintillating CompuBox numbers tonight
37:30 of a 73 to 64 advantage for Maxie Hughes.
37:34 This is the kind of fight where you could see the judges having scores spray-painted all over the place.
37:40 Do they appreciate the boxing of Maxie Hughes?
37:44 There are some clear rounds for Maxie Hughes.
37:47 He did legitimate damage in round number 5 with the left hand's landing flush,
37:52 in fact, opening up a cut over the right eye.
37:55 But do they go for simple aggression of Gamboses that has been wholly ineffective?
38:01 Or do they appreciate the boxing of Maxie Hughes?
38:04 Well, right now, I'm appreciating the clean, effective punches in the footwork of Maxie Hughes.
38:10 You know, he uses subtle angles to create openings to frustrate Gamboses.
38:16 This is--to me, this is a master class of ring generalship.
38:19 Maxie Hughes came in a significant underdog.
38:22 Gamboses a 4-1 favorite.
38:40 Reminder, Fulton Inouye coverage will begin at 4.30 a.m. Eastern Time.
38:46 That fight in Tokyo on Tuesday for two belts at 122 pounds.
38:52 And to see how things could be shook up in the pound-for-pound rankings.
38:58 And then we will also have a boxing broadcast next Friday
39:03 with the great Sinisa "Superbad" Estrada in action.
39:09 Those are two double good right hands and a left hook.
39:12 You see it right now, Gamboses starting to find his mark, getting a little bit of timing now, cornering.
39:18 And when I say cornering, no, he's not getting him in the corner,
39:21 but what he's doing is he's punching where he thinks he's going, where he's going to be.
39:25 Landing that left hook.
39:29 And right hand now.
39:31 Able to get out of the way that time as he came forward, landed a right hand of his own.
39:34 Needs to finish strong, does Gamboses.
39:37 Try to create some separation here.
39:39 Underneath with the left hand to the body from Hughes.
39:42 Straight left from Maxie Hughes.
39:49 Remember how effective that was in round number five.
39:51 And then the uppercut.
39:53 Taking advantage of his aggression.
39:56 Getting over his front foot.
39:58 Leaning forward.
40:00 Leaving his head in position right on the line.
40:04 Straight left hand right down the middle.
40:06 Maxie cannot miss with that shot.
40:08 There's another left hand from Maxie Hughes.
40:14 You're looking at him. Stop looking at him.
40:30 You're in shape, go to work.
40:33 You got the hand speed, you got all the combinations you know how to do.
40:35 You need to go to work.
40:37 Alright? Stop looking at this kid.
40:39 This kid don't want to be here.
40:41 Only reason why this kid is still here is because of you.
40:43 You need to go to work.
40:45 Alright?
40:47 Now let them hands go.
40:48 Put them double jabs in front, pull, right hand, left hook.
40:51 The shot right here at the end of that last round.
40:55 Looked like a big shot.
40:57 You see the sweat flying off of the body of Gamboses.
41:01 But Gamboses caught that shot on his shoulder.
41:05 That's a good example as to why there are judges at three different sides of the ring right there.
41:09 Exactly. Now, do you think the judge on the opposite side saw that?
41:14 The numbers so far, low connect percentages.
41:18 Especially for Gamboses, hovering at 19%.
41:23 Ramon Matthews and Don House urging him on.
41:27 You heard them tell Gamboses, the only reason this guy is still here is because of you.
41:32 Get to work. He has six minutes of work left in this title eliminator.
41:37 Gamboses is being brought back to Haney.
41:45 His two losses right now.
41:48 He's getting brought back mentally.
41:50 Maxie Hughes is taking him there.
41:52 Because he's having a hard time tracking him down.
41:55 Maxie Hughes is making him pay, doing the same thing that Haney was doing.
42:00 Allowing him to make mistakes and making him pay.
42:02 Good double right hand right there from Gamboses, trying to get something started.
42:05 But he needs to throw more punches, Tess.
42:07 It was far more pronounced the way Haney did it.
42:11 Of course, he's far more skilled and athletic than Maxie Hughes.
42:15 The first fight dominating with the jab.
42:16 The second fight with the right hand.
42:18 But it's the ring generalship of Maxie Hughes that should be appreciated in this fight.
42:24 That's what I'm talking about. And he reminisced.
42:26 I don't know if he hit with that left uppercut.
42:29 But man, he's looking for it.
42:31 Maxie's clever. This is what I'm talking about right here.
42:35 Technical boxing. Masterclass technical boxing.
42:39 SportsCenter is going to be coming your way next.
42:49 Once we wrap up here in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
42:52 And then just go to the app to see the state of boxing.
42:55 Where we will have all the post fight analysis and interviews.
42:59 And we will set the table with a full preview of Stephen Fulton.
43:04 Now in a way that is just now days away.
43:07 For the unified titles at Junior Featherweight.
43:12 Robese Ramirez, also with the title defense from Japan.
43:17 Coming your way on ESPN Plus Tuesday.
43:19 And a special guest on the state of boxing immediately following this main event.
43:25 On ESPN Plus, on the app.
43:27 Shakur Stevenson will join us live.
43:30 A lot to discuss with Shakur.
43:33 When you give a slick style like this.
43:37 You give him room. You give him time to think.
43:39 That's what he's going to do.
43:41 If I'm in George's corner right now.
43:42 I'm saying man, you better sell out.
43:44 You got to let your hands go.
43:46 Hit his body. Hit something. Hit his arms.
43:48 You need to pressure him.
43:50 Don't allow him to tie you up when you get close.
43:52 And work your hands. Just let him go.
43:55 As you can see right there. He ties him up.
43:57 You see that? He ties him up after.
44:00 See and this is the things that I'm talking about for our fight.
44:04 That's coming up, I believe on Tuesday.
44:06 The same stuff. This is what I'm talking about.
44:10 The tactical work. The technical work.
44:13 That I see.
44:15 A fighter like...
44:18 Fuck.
44:19 It'll be fascinating to hear what they say to George Camposus here.
44:24 Last round.
44:34 Ladies and gentlemen.
44:35 He's got a box to see.
44:42 As soon as he shows up strong.
44:44 Don't overstep the right hand.
44:47 Don't overstep the right hand all day long.
44:51 Basic boxing.
44:53 Jab, jab, touch, right hand, left foot.
44:56 Just basic boxing.
44:58 Alright?
44:59 You got your speed. You got everything.
45:01 But you got to do it.
45:12 Come on. Come on.
45:14 Outboxed. Out what?
45:16 What he said. He outboxed him.
45:18 He needs to tell him that he needs to go get this kid.
45:20 You need a knockout to win this fight.
45:22 That's what his corner needs to tell him.
45:24 And he needs to tell him to come behind the jab.
45:26 Tuck your chin.
45:27 You might take one.
45:28 You might take two.
45:30 But you know what?
45:31 You have to take those shots to get yours in.
45:33 Which way will the judges see this?
45:36 The way we see it.
45:38 And many ringside observers.
45:41 Is that Maxie Hughes has been outboxing Kambosis.
45:44 And is right there to pull the upset.
45:46 Does Kambosis need to finish strong?
45:49 With urgency.
45:50 With some desperation here.
45:52 In round 12.
45:54 And what I meant by that statement I was going to talk about.
45:59 And I saw the bell was going to be ringing.
46:01 It was going to ring.
46:02 Fulton.
46:03 Tactically.
46:05 Sound.
46:06 Tying up in a way.
46:08 In close.
46:09 Not allowing him to work.
46:11 You know.
46:12 Headbutt right there.
46:13 Another clash of heads.
46:14 There was a clash of heads in the 6th round that opened up a cut.
46:17 There's a right hand from Kambosis.
46:20 If Fulton can do exactly what Maxie Hughes is doing.
46:23 Stand in the center of the ring.
46:25 Controlling the range.
46:26 And making the monster over commit.
46:31 Leave himself open.
46:32 And he's able to land counters on him.
46:34 He can beat the monster.
46:36 We will get that answer Tuesday morning.
46:38 Steven Fulton against Naoya Inoue.
46:40 The two undefeated world champions meeting up.
46:43 Now at 122 pounds.
46:46 Is Inoue.
46:47 See neither guy.
46:52 They have to take the initiative right now.
46:54 These are the championship rounds.
46:55 You want to win this round in dominant fashion.
46:57 Just in case the judges have it one way.
46:59 One round.
47:00 You know.
47:01 You got to dominate.
47:02 And neither guy right now is doing it.
47:05 And Maxie Hughes got to understand that he is the B side of things.
47:08 He's not the A side.
47:10 You want to leave a last impression on the judges.
47:12 Finish strong.
47:14 We got a minute left.
47:19 Not many punches have landed this round.
47:21 Not at all.
47:22 By either guy.
47:23 It's like they're posing.
47:24 It's a nondescript final round.
47:25 Where you would think it's there for the taking.
47:27 It is there for the taking right now.
47:29 And it's not.
47:30 It's not.
47:31 It's not.
47:32 It's there for the taking.
47:34 It is there for the taking right now.
47:35 Either guy.
47:36 Whoever steps on the gas pedal right now.
47:37 Let his hands go.
47:38 Can win this round.
47:39 And this could decide ultimately to fight.
47:41 You just never know what these judges are wanting.
47:43 No you don't.
47:44 Lead left hand from Hughes.
47:49 See but when he misses big like that.
47:52 You have to be there to make him pay.

53:47 All the post-fight analysis and interviews.
53:49 This is going to be a curious one.
53:51 Mark Kregel, what does your scorecard read?
53:53 Nine rounds to three.
53:56 Maxie Hughes.
53:58 Listen, don't diminish what Devin Haney did.
54:01 But it just looked like Kambosis never fought a south boy.
54:04 He could talk about Pacquiao all he wants.
54:07 And don't diminish Maxie Hughes as just being technical.
54:11 Boxing like that takes a lot of guts, fellas.
54:14 We often know when you have the guy trying to be the aggressor
54:19 who's ineffective against the guy who's showing boxing skills
54:22 and ring generalship, you can get scorecards that read every which way.
54:26 How do these read? Here's Mark Cheneaux.
54:29 Ladies and gentlemen, after 12 rounds here inside Fire Lake Arena
54:35 in Shawnee, Oklahoma, we go to the judges' scorecards
54:39 for the official decision.
54:42 David Sutherland scores the bout 114-114.
54:48 Joseph Mason, 117-111.
54:52 Gerald Ritter, 115-113.
54:56 For your winner by majority decision,
55:00 George "Ferocious" Kambosis Jr.
55:07 You hear the mixed reaction from the crowd here in Oklahoma.
55:11 And Joseph Mason should be on the Christmas card list
55:14 for George Kambosis with that 117-111.
55:18 Maxie Hughes gave a very good effort with his boxing skill tonight.
55:23 But it's George Kambosis who comes out with the majority decision victory.
55:29 117-111 and a 115-113. Top it for him.
55:34 We will have full coverage of the game.
