SportsTranscript
00:00 We went over the instructions in the dressing room.
00:01 I expect a clean fight.
00:03 Here's the line on these trunks right here.
00:04 Here's the line on these trunks.
00:06 Touch them up now. Go back to your corners.
00:09 Amron Sand stepping in here at 3 bills, 300 pounds,
00:13 looking like Tim Bradley before --
00:14 I'm trying to tell you.
00:16 You were told that you were inducted
00:17 into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
00:21 Let's go. Round one. Box.
00:22 Look at Dick, man. Look at Dick.
00:25 All right.
00:26 Here's Tahiyo coming all the way across from New Zealand.
00:30 He said, "I was inspired to box by none other than David Tua."
00:36 I always know.
00:37 His father took him to the gym for the first time
00:38 when he was 15 years old. You know why?
00:40 Why?
00:41 Because he got jumped by six guys, knocked three dudes out.
00:45 The other three went running, but he was stabbed in the chest.
00:48 You're going to see a scar right next to his heart.
00:50 It was a box cutter.
00:51 It broke off inside his chest.
00:53 He pulled it out, bled all the way home,
00:57 which was a one-hour walk.
00:59 He gets home.
01:00 His father puts sugar and soap in the wound, no stitches,
01:04 and he says, "Tomorrow, you're going to the gym,"
01:06 and that's how his boxing career started.
01:07 It's a video game.
01:09 What? It's not a video game.
01:10 It's a movie.
01:12 What? Got stabbed in the -- like, near the heart?
01:14 Yeah. Wow.
01:16 If you look closely, you're going to see the scar
01:18 near the heart of Hemi Ahiyo.
01:21 His only loss was by knockout against Faiqa Opelu
01:24 in October of 2022.
01:26 Turned out he had COVID that night.
01:28 Look.
01:29 I'll tell you this. Yeah. I can see that.
01:31 You can stab like that and still --
01:34 and go to the gym the next day. Absolutely.
01:36 The only way you're going to put him out is,
01:38 is you got to knock him out.
01:40 Absolutely, and he's a very active puncher.
01:43 He likes to throw upwards of 50-plus punches around,
01:46 settling in here against Amaron Sands, though,
01:48 but no matter how hard you hit, Tim,
01:51 I mean, you're hitting a guy who's 300 pounds.
01:53 That's a lot of -- that's a lot of --
01:56 a lot of body to go through. It is.
01:58 A lot of body to go through,
02:00 but you see what O'Heil is doing.
02:03 O'Heil is doing. He's going down to the body.
02:05 He's taking the space away from Sands.
02:07 He's not allowing him to be able to gather his distance.
02:13 Cutting that distance is important for him.
02:15 It is. He's got a 5-inch reach.
02:17 Nice left hook there from Hemi Ahiyo.
02:19 That seemed to shake the legs of Sands.
02:22 Put him on sandy territory there.
02:25 Watch your head.
02:28 See, this is where the fight --
02:30 where O'Heil wants to fight to live is in the inside.
02:33 He's a smaller, shorter fighter.
02:36 He wants to get into the trenches.
02:38 He has shorter arms.
02:40 He's able to work the body and work the head of Sands.
02:44 You know -- oh, good right hand.
02:48 Beautiful setup right there.
02:50 What you saw was you saw O'Heil,
02:52 he got his left foot on the outside of the southpaw.
02:54 That's what you need to do to be able to line up
02:55 your right hand as often as you possibly can.
02:58 Once you get it out there, you got him cut off.
03:01 And it's right down the pipe, that right hand.
03:04 Oh, show the right hands of O'Heil.
03:09 Not only accurate, but they're powerful.
03:11 That one was to the solar plexus.
03:14 10 seconds, guys.
03:17 See, Sands right now, he's looking for opportunities
03:19 to land, but he's got to -- ooh, that uppercut right there
03:21 is beautiful for Sands.
03:24 -Let's listen in to Mike Engel,
03:27 who is the striking coach for none other
03:30 than Israel Arizana of the UFC.
03:33 -Oh, wow. That's a legend.
03:36 That is a legend.
03:37 -Drop top?
03:40 Okay.
03:41 -Okay.
03:42 Look at me.
03:45 You're hitting him with everything you want to, okay?
03:47 Don't go too wide with the right hand,
03:49 or move his hand there and come up the middle.
03:51 Now, I don't want you leaning down this side,
03:52 'cause that's the only shot he's looking for,
03:54 is that left uppercut.
03:55 Get outside, change foot position,
03:57 and double up on the right hand.
03:58 Do you understand?
04:01 See how that lead hand's working?
04:02 Okay. What did I say?
04:08 Double up on that right hand.
04:09 Don't dip into that left uppercut.
04:11 Okay?
04:12 -All right, we're going to try something different
04:14 here on ESPN+
04:15 by providing you some ringside coverage.
04:18 We're going to go announcer-free for round two,
04:20 so enjoy the sights and sounds of the Sweet Science.
04:24 -Round two.
04:27 -There you go. There you go. Look alive.
04:33 There you go. -Yes.
04:34 -Tight guard, yeah. Tight guard.
04:36 -Watch that drift. Watch that drift.
04:39 -Keep up. Uh-huh.
04:43 -Good. -Keep that punch up.
04:45 -Fire down. Fire down. Yep. Fire down.
04:47 -Turn the corner.
04:51 -Head off to the side. -That's it.

05:03 Body, body, upper. Come on.
05:06 -And then add the hook.
05:09 Big back. Don't wait. Yeah.
05:10 And then body.
05:13 Get back out of control. Get back out.
05:14 Yes. That's it. -And your guard back up.

05:27 Step around. -From south forward.
05:29 Let's go.
05:30 -Put him on a roll. Body, head. Let's go.
05:33 -Keep working away. Work away. Turn the corner.
05:35 -And then the right hand, too.
05:37 -Watch that cross-glove defense.
05:40 -Don't wait for him, man. Stand right there.
05:42 Turn around again. Don't sit in front.
05:43 Don't sit in front. Good.
05:47 -Downstairs, downstairs, downstairs.
05:49 -That's it, Amy. Double up on it.
05:55 -Hey, don't hold him. Let him go.
05:56 -Keep it steady. Keep it steady.
05:57 Keep it steady. -Take guard. Take guard.
06:00 -That's it. -You got to rip your tool.
06:02 -Yep. -Add more than one, baby.
06:03 -Keep that glove there.
06:05 -And then the right hand.
06:13 -Watch this side. Control that hand.
06:15 Control that hand. -Boom.
06:16 -That's it. Tie up the arm. Tie up the arm and walk.
06:19 -Right hand to the body. -Walk forward.

06:26 Step around.
06:28 Touch charge, bang. Touch charge, bang.
06:32 -Land the tire. Come on.
06:34 -That's it. -Don't give him that.
06:38 -Downstairs again. Good. That's it.
06:41 Step over, too. There it is. Yes.
06:44 Yes. There you go. -Hands up.
06:46 -There you go. -Tighten the guard up.
06:48 -Tie his arms up. -I'm going to tie you up.
06:50 -Tie his arms up. -I'm going to tie you up.
06:53 -That's it. -And step around.
06:54 -Back up. Keep going. -Keep going.
06:57 -On him. On him. -Pick your guard up.
06:58 Pick your guard up. -Get on there.
07:00 -Pick your guard up.
07:01 Right hand to the body. Right hand to the head.
07:03 -Work the body again. -Right hand to the body.
07:05 -And tie him up tight. -Right hand to the body.
07:06 -Let's go. -Right hand to the head.
07:07 -Now, fight him.
07:09 -Don't rest there. -Like put a pad there.
07:11 -And step around. -Work the body again.
07:13 Work the body. -10 seconds.
07:17 -Turn the corner. Turn the corner.
07:22 That's it. You got it. Again.
07:24 -Body. -Get that punch up off.
07:25 -Tie him up. -Get that punch up off.
07:29 -Breathe. -Okay.
07:35 Stand up. Wait.
07:36 -Okay. -Okay.
07:38 -Look at me.
07:40 You know what you see?
07:42 You see it's bad.
07:44 -What'd you wish for?
07:46 -I wish I could be a man.
07:48 -You wish you could be a man.
07:50 -I wish I could be a man.
07:52 -You wish you could be a man.
07:54 -You wish you could be a man.
07:56 -You wish you could be a man.
07:58 -You wish you could be a man.
08:00 -You wish you could be a man.
08:02 -You wish you could be a man.
08:04 -You wish you could be a man.
08:06 -You wish you could be a man.
08:08 -When you're winking the body to the right hand,
08:10 I want you to start to double up on that.
08:12 -Okay.
08:14 -And up here.
08:16 [ Whistle blows ]
08:18 -I need you to say "thing" again, okay?
08:20 -Yeah. -Come on.
08:22 -Look at that.
08:24 -Hope you enjoyed the SPM+ ringside coverage.
08:28 I mean, look, Tim, taking a shot from a 300-pounder
08:32 is no easy task, but then a heel
08:34 landing some heavy leather on Sanz's --
08:36 Well, hurt him there in round two.
08:38 -He hurt him. He hurt him.
08:40 I mean, you know, Sanz was stepping back.
08:42 He was in the pocket, and he lift his head up,
08:44 dropped his hands.
08:46 He was trying to escape and take a different angle,
08:48 but not being responsible with his hand placement
08:50 and got clipped on the way out.
08:52 But what I like from Sanz is,
08:54 is that he's trying to beat O'Neal at his own game.
08:57 You know, he's like, "You know, you're not gonna give me the distance.
09:00 You know what I'm gonna use? I'm gonna use angles.
09:02 I'm gonna dig you down to the body.
09:04 I'm gonna fight you when I want to fight you in the inside."
09:06 That's what you're seeing from Sanz.
09:09 Good work on the inside by him.
09:11 -Nice right uppercut and sets up a left hook
09:13 from a heel who doesn't need a lot of distance
09:16 to let his punches go.
09:18 -No, a heel doesn't need a lot of distance.
09:20 He has a short arm, but what he's doing now,
09:22 he's touching, touching, touching,
09:24 just trying to open up Sanz so he can land something big.
09:29 It's almost like he's knocking.
09:31 He's knocking on the side window,
09:33 and then he's coming to the front door.
09:35 -Yeah, Sanz does well when he puts those earmuffs on
09:41 in terms of stalling the offense of a heel,
09:45 but when he makes a mistake, a heel makes him pay.
09:48 -Any time he stands up, see, that's what you don't want to do.
09:50 You don't want to be against a rope standing up straight,
09:53 especially against a smaller fighter.
09:56 And any time Sanz does that,
09:57 that's when he puts himself in a bad position
09:59 and get hit with big shots over the top from a heel.
10:03 -Got it.
10:04 -Activity is definitely slowed down from a heel.
10:09 -Nice left hook from a heel who stands square,
10:16 sometimes southpaw,
10:18 and then Sanz answers with a combination of his own.
10:20 -Well, see, Sanz is trying to use his legs
10:22 and trying to push back and trying to drain the heel.
10:25 He'll do a good job.
10:26 A heel did a good job by just taking a small step
10:28 and a good job by just taking a small little angle,
10:30 not allowing Sanz to push him back.
10:33 -Ooh, nice uppercut.
10:41 Doubled up by a heel, and Sanz says,
10:43 "Oh, yeah, that actually doesn't feel well.
10:45 Let me try a left of my own."
10:46 -See, a heel, what he's doing,
10:48 he's taking some steam off his punches.
10:49 He's just trying to let them flow naturally.
10:51 He just wants to touch, touch, keep touching Sanz,
10:54 keeping him defensive,
10:56 and just putting rounds in the bag, pushing him back.
10:59 Never want to see the smaller man pushing back the bigger man,
11:02 and that's what you saw right there.
11:03 The bigger man got a little bit upset,
11:05 and he pushed back himself.
11:07 -You see a heel putting in the work
11:11 and understanding that that big mound of rebound
11:15 is not going to just go down.
11:16 He's got to work his way to the finish,
11:19 and Tim Bradley's number-one double-stamp prospect,
11:22 Keyshawn Davis, is a rising star in the lightweight division,
11:25 and while his introduction to boxing was by chance,
11:27 he realized very quickly that he found something special.
11:30 -Our mother wanted to keep us busy
11:34 so we wouldn't be into other things,
11:36 and she found out it was a boxing gym up the street from us.
11:39 And just like any other sport,
11:40 she asked us, "Do you want to play that?"
11:42 And she was like, "Would you even want to box in the first place?"
11:46 Like, she's asked us like that.
11:48 And we was like, "Yeah, we would love to box."
11:50 Like, we was like, "Yes, we would love to box, Ma."
11:52 Like, "Yes, let's do it today.
11:54 Can we go today?"
11:56 Back then, the gym was rough.
11:59 When we get into this boxing gym, we're looking at this like,
12:02 "We're about to be the best in here."
12:04 Us coming up back then was definitely the best experience,
12:08 like, out of our lives.
12:10 -When I seen him in boxing, though,
12:12 he reminded me of Manny Pacquiao.
12:13 He threw so many punches.
12:15 [ Grunts ]
12:16 [ All talking at once ]
12:18 Keyshawn is a real star.
12:21 Like, he one of them stars.
12:23 He letting our city know that he ain't faking.
12:25 It's really real, so he making us believe.
12:27 [ Beep ]
12:29 -Keyshawn Davis will be opening up tonight's ESPN broadcast
12:35 live at 10 Eastern, 7 Pacific.
12:38 And there's substance behind that flash
12:41 when it comes to Keyshawn, the Olympic silver medalist.
12:44 -And there was some of those big punches right there
12:47 that you saw Sanz just land on a heel.
12:50 On the inside. Now Sanz is trying to get back on a bike
12:53 and trying to get back outside
12:55 because the pace is intense in the inside.
12:57 Aheel is trying to push the pace.
13:01 He's trying to continue to come forward
13:03 and impose his will on Aheel.
13:06 -Those short shots that he has to get inside the glove,
13:10 outside the glove of Sanz.
13:11 Sanz just making him work every moment
13:14 and then digging to the body.
13:15 But those are the shots that Aheel is working towards.
13:18 Just all he needs is one.
13:19 He already hurt Sanz in the second round,
13:21 so he knows that he's capable of hurting
13:23 the big 300-pound behemoth that's in front of him.
13:26 -Yeah, he's keeping him --
13:27 But see, he's doing it smartly.
13:28 He's not wasting his energy trying to just, like,
13:30 you know, come down with power.
13:32 Every shot is not powerful.
13:33 It's small, little shots.
13:34 And then every now and then, he'll change the cadence up.
13:37 He'll speed it up a bit.
13:38 You know, he's looking for smart opportunities
13:41 to land his offense.
13:42 And now Sanz is coming back with his offense.
13:45 So both guys are going back and forth with this action.
13:47 -I mean, there's some power when you're putting 300 pounds
13:51 behind that shot,
13:52 stepping into it like Sanz is doing.
13:54 That tells you something about the chin of Aheel
13:57 and the toughness that this man has.
14:00 There's that body shot from Sanz.
14:03 Aheel tries to answer with a right to the chin.
14:05 -Not sure why Aheel is not throwing that uppercut.
14:08 You see Sanz, he's completely squared up in the inside.
14:12 -It may just be that someone runs out of gas
14:16 between now and the eighth round, Tim.
14:18 -They're running out of gas.
14:19 Yeah, they're moving in slow motion right now.
14:21 You normally get this, you know, with the heavyweights.
14:24 Big guys, big bodies.
14:26 They throw heavy shots,
14:27 and they need to recover and recharge.
14:30 -Nice body work from Sanz.
14:36 This is a good round for the big guy out of Orlando, Florida.
14:41 -But anytime there's an opportunity to land,
14:45 because the big guy, Sanz, is trying to rest.
14:49 He's not covering that well.
14:50 He's doing his best to, but you can come around that guard.
14:53 -Oh, there it is.
14:54 Right around that guard does that right hand of Aheel.
14:57 Now an overhand right above the glove.
14:59 You want to give me the middle?
15:01 I'm going to go straight through the middle,
15:02 but then Sanz with the big left hook.
15:05 -Let him go. Let him go.
15:10 -Nice little inside tactics on the inside for both men.
15:13 -You know, I see some pinning from both guys.
15:16 That's when you pin one hand of the other guy,
15:19 or you put your glove or forearm against it,
15:21 and you leave it in place,
15:22 and then you come with a shot yourself.
15:24 -Ooh, that was a good shot right there.
15:26 -Ooh, but what about the counter from Sanz?
15:29 Just when Aheel thinks he's got him in trouble,
15:31 Sanz answers with a big shot.
15:34 -Let's listen in to Amron Sanz' corner
15:38 as he walks there slowly.
15:40 -Both guys walk in slowly, slow motion to the corner.
15:44 -Okay, gotcha.
15:46 -You got the towel?
15:48 -You didn't bring the towel? No.
15:49 -Give me the towel, please.
15:51 -Brie, give me my fist.
15:53 -Deep breaths. Deep breaths.
15:55 -Where the bucket? -Right here, right here.
15:57 -How you feel? How's your energy?
16:04 Talk to me. -All right.
16:05 -All right. So I need you to work.
16:07 You can't sit there and get hit, okay?
16:08 If you're not punching, you need to be moving.
16:10 Let him find you.
16:11 Now we got to step forward, okay?
16:13 He can't be fucking hitting you.
16:14 You're taking steps back no more now.
16:16 All right? Huh?
16:18 This is five.
16:19 You've got to be the 40 now.
16:21 All right?
16:22 You're doing good when you're throwing.
16:23 Just keep doing good, okay?
16:24 Throw. Let's go, baby.
16:26 Come on, nigga. I believe in you, man.
16:27 Let's get it. Let's fucking get it.
16:29 I believe in you, boy.
16:31 -For round five, we're going to give you
16:32 the ESPN+ ringside coverage,
16:34 where we will be announcer-free,
16:36 and you'll get to hear the sights and sounds
16:39 of the Sweet Sides.
16:40 -Jump out. Jump, jump, jump.
16:42 Jump, jump.
16:43 Get back. Get back.
16:44 Let's go. Box.
16:47 -Yes, baby.
16:49 -Where'd you get it? Where'd you get it?
16:50 -Don't stay there, baby.
16:51 You're not throwing. You're not throwing.
16:52 You're moving.
16:54 Rip the body when you're this close like that.
16:56 -All right, let him push.
16:57 -Hey, wrestle, rip the body.
16:58 He touched you. You ripped his body.
16:59 -That's it.
17:02 -Keep the punches short and sharp.
17:05 Throw your hands.
17:06 -Short shot this side. Down low.
17:08 -Go back to that lead hand.
17:11 Go back to the lead hand.
17:13 Lead hand. Loop that right hand there.
17:15 Yeah, you catch him. Let's go.
17:18 -Yeah.
17:19 -Watch that. Come on. Get off the ropes.
17:23 Bend your knees more. Don't arm fight.
17:25 -My two, three. And three.
17:28 -Low two, high three.
17:29 -Get off the rope.
17:30 -Let's go.
17:31 -Go to your left. Turn him on a rope.
17:32 -Good. There it is.
17:34 -Press him.
17:35 -He felt that. Let's go again.
17:37 -No, press him, Amar.

19:38 -You're going to do it.
19:39 -You're going to do it.
19:40 -You're going to do it.
19:41 -You're going to do it.
19:42 -You're going to do it.
19:43 -You're going to do it.
19:44 -You're going to do it.

19:50 -You're going to do it.
19:51 -Breathe.
19:52 Okay.
19:53 You're out punching him three to one here, fighting in spirit.
20:01 Keep on putting in the work.
20:02 However fucking tired you are, he is more tired.
20:05 Understand?
20:06 You understand me?
20:07 Okay.
20:08 We've got three rounds.
20:09 Okay?
20:10 Keep that elbow tight.
20:11 Do not let this right hand drop.
20:12 Okay?
20:13 Keep it tight.
20:14 Keep the punches short.
20:15 -I'm not strong.
20:16 -What up?
20:17 -You're not acting.
20:18 You're not acting hot.
20:19 -I'm not acting hot.
20:20 -Touch, touch, rip.
20:21 Push.
20:22 Touch, rip, rip.
20:23 Okay, mix it up.
20:24 Touch and rip.
20:25 You got to stay busy.
20:26 Okay?
20:27 All right?
20:28 Look alive, baby.
20:29 We almost here.
20:30 Come on.
20:31 Switch.
20:32 -Let's go.
20:33 -Let's do this.
20:34 -Take a tap.
20:35 -Nine minutes left for this fight to conclude between Amaron Sanz, the 300-pounder out
20:41 of Orlando, Florida, and Hemai Ahio, who made the trip to Shawnee, Oklahoma, all the way
20:46 from New Zealand.
20:49 On Tuesday, it will be Fulton taking on Naoya.
20:52 Anyway, so Fulton went all the way from the United States to Japan to defend his two belts.
20:59 You'll want to watch that fight early on Tuesday morning.
21:02 All right, here for Hemai Ahio, the instructions were throw short shots and control the range.
21:08 For Amaron Sanz, it was word to the body, and not everything has to be hard.
21:13 -He's just telling them basically, "Sanz is nuts."
21:16 -Oh, hold on.
21:17 -His right hand hurt Sanz as he was sent reeling backwards.
21:21 -He sure was hurt with that shot.
21:25 He's standing up on the ropes right now.
21:26 Doing a little bit of rope-a-dope.
21:28 -Don't hold him.
21:29 -Trying to buy time.
21:30 -You remember what happened last time we were in Tulsa, Oklahoma?
21:34 -What happened?
21:35 -Workout.
21:36 -I forget.
21:37 -Richard Torres Jr. won his fight, jumped on the ropes, and then broke the--
21:41 -Broke the rope.
21:42 Oh, yeah, I remember that.
21:43 -Imagine if Sanz wins, 300 pounds, jumping under the turnbuckle.
21:47 -No.
21:48 -WWE style.
21:49 -No, please don't.
21:50 -We don't need that in our lives again.
21:55 -No, no, we don't.
21:57 What we need is more action from both these men.
21:59 I mean, the taking is there for either guy.
22:02 The taking is there.
22:03 You heard it, the urgency in both corners saying, "Man, if you tired, he's more tired
22:08 than I am than you are."
22:09 Just believe that.
22:11 Let your hands go.
22:12 -You know, he's fighting in spurts, and he's right.
22:15 -Remember that song?
22:16 "Slow Motion for Me."
22:18 -Slow Motion for Me.
22:19 -Slow Motion for Me.
22:20 -Ah, that's what we're seeing here.
22:21 -But Sanz, even when he throws in slow motion, he can still do damage, but so can Ahio.
22:27 That's what makes this so interesting, the power behind the 300-pounder and the devastation
22:32 in the right hand of Ahio, like we see there.
22:34 -Yeah, but the 300-pounder's not fighting like the bigger man.
22:37 He's getting pushed back.
22:38 He's getting bullied.
22:39 He's getting stood straight up.
22:40 You see the head right there of Ahio coming inside.
22:44 You know, that's the reason why you see Sanz standing straight up, trying to get away from
22:48 that head, trying to get away from these small shots that's coming around.
22:51 -Oh, that right hand hurts him.
22:52 He's up against the ropes defenseless, and let's see if Ahio can finish this fight.
22:56 -It is.
22:57 -And he does in the sixth round.
22:59 -All you got to do is make the referee do his job, and Ahio did exactly that by throwing
23:05 punches despite his fatigue.
23:07 That's exactly what you needed to do, and he got him hurt, and great finish right there
23:11 from Ahio.
23:12 -He can't.
23:13 He can't.
23:14 -I mean, we saw that both guys were exhausted.
23:17 Ambron Sanz kept taking those shots, but once Ahio put them together, there was nothing
23:23 he could do to keep him off of them.
23:24 -Absolutely.
23:25 He got him in a bad spot.
23:26 He got him dazed with one of those hard shots.
23:27 He came around, and then he started changing the cadence up, and he was coming around,
23:31 and Sanz, he didn't know where was the punches coming from.
23:34 He had no clue.
23:35 They were coming to the body, the head, up the middle, around the guard, and he pinned
23:39 them in that corner, stood them straight up, hit them with a couple of more shots, and
23:43 he saw the referee step in and said, "Hey, I done seen them."
23:46 -Yeah, Chris Flores had to step in because we saw that Ambron Sanz was completely defenseless.
23:52 There was nothing he was doing to defend himself, and he had been hurt earlier on, and there
23:57 was always some type of answer, but not this time, and that's why the fight ended in this
24:02 manner, as we're going to see it right now.
24:05 Himya Ohiro started with the right and just never let up.
24:08 -You see a nice little push-off right there at measure, and then you see the small shots
24:12 coming.
24:13 They're just variated punches coming around the guard.
24:14 Nice right hook right there that really got his attention, really dazed him, and another
24:18 right hook around that guard.
24:20 These is punches and bunches.
24:21 This is what you're doing.
24:22 This is the salt and the pepper he's putting on him right here.
24:26 Salt and pepper.
24:27 You see the referee step in and stop this action, but man, I thought it was a good fight.
24:31 I like Ohiro.
24:32 He's a tough, tough fighter.
24:33 Tough heavyweight, small, compact.
24:36 Like you said, he's active with his punches.
24:38 He knows how to fight well on the inside.
24:39 He knows how to back up a bigger guy.
24:41 I want to see more of him.
24:43 -This is what it sounded like as a continuation of our ESPN ringside coverage.
24:48 This is what the corners were saying.
24:51 -Keep going.
24:53 -Light this one.
24:55 Light this one.
24:58 Light it.
25:00 Light it.
25:02 Light it.
25:04 Light it.
25:06 Light it.
25:08 -Finish him.
25:09 -It sounded like something, right?
25:10 Mortal Kombat?
25:11 -Yes.
25:12 -Exactly.
25:13 -All right.
25:14 Mark Chinook, finish it.
25:15 -Ladies and gentlemen, here inside the Fire Lake Arena in Shawnee, Oklahoma, referee Chris
25:20 Flores calls a stop to this bout at two minutes and 12 seconds of round number six.
25:27 -Career winner by technical knockout, Hemi Ahiyo.
25:34 -Hemi Ahiyo said the F word when they stopped the fight.
25:38 I don't know if it was because he wanted to continue pummeling Emron Sanzo, because he
25:42 was thankful that the referee finally stood in there, because he had nothing left.
25:47 All right.
25:48 Mark Kregel is with Brian Bomac.
