00:00 okay last six round contest keep it clean at all times keep yourselves protected all times touch
00:03 gloves here we go good luck lads
00:07 Khalid Ali the Bengal tiger a really popular figure with the Bangladeshi community down there in brick lane in the east end of London
00:18 and he'll be looking for something spectacular once more at southpaw and he's a bit of a puncher
00:25 just 22 years old Stoyanov only been stopped once in eight pro contests
00:33 but Ali clearly a big favorite to win this one and win it well
00:39 tactics plain and simple aren't they for Ali he's got to close that gap down he's against a slightly
00:44 taller man and straight away Stoyanov senses that his opponent is a bit of a puncher so
00:50 he's on that back foot and i think he's going for the tactic of just waiting and trying to
00:57 get the southpaw to maybe overstretch rather than going forward and then walking on to Ali's
01:03 punches he's clearly got talent Ali and he's he's got power also there's just an example of that
01:09 now just switching that attack from body to head describes himself as eccentric and a product of
01:16 the famed Repton gym in London and he said if you can make it there you come through it you have to
01:24 graduate it's a little bit like coming through a boxing university absolutely very famous club
01:32 Repton you should imagine the spar in there would be unbelievable for him you know right through the
01:38 ranks and the pros that get down there to help the amateurs out so yes he's come from a very
01:46 good background indeed true boxing tradition Repton quiet opener so far this first round
01:53 oh that's a nice left hand from Stoyanov back comes Ali with a left hand of his own
01:58 Stoyanov several inches taller and as Richie saying with a clear reach advantage but already
02:11 some reddening around his left eye where Ali has found the target with his right hand
02:18 that's another good left hand this time from Stoyanov
02:20 Stoyanov's tactics John we spoke about on that back foot so he's trying to make Ali overreach
02:27 a little bit and he's trying to make him work for the openings here Ali so he's got to keep
02:32 using that jab keep picking away and look for the openings but Stoyanov boxing sort of a clever
02:38 contest on the outside just waiting not over committing so yeah I can see the tactic from
02:44 Stoyanov here and it's serving him quite well thus far in this opening round a six rounder
02:51 that's super well to wait sure Ali's future he'd see himself fighting as a well to wait at five
03:00 foot nine only sort of average height for that particular weight division Stoyanov just got to
03:08 watch his movements here keeps moving around to his right and by moving on around to his right
03:13 you walk onto that left under of Ali just changing his direction now but cannot get into the habit
03:19 of keep moving to the right against a good side for like Ali first round over and Ali didn't do a lot
03:27 here at best not bringing a bit of bruising and marking to that left eye of Nikola Stoyanov
03:36 the Bulgarian did Ali do enough to win that opener I think so I think it's difficult to
03:42 give it to Stoyanov who's totally on his back foot just come back with the odd shot here and there I
03:46 think Ali on that front foot just did enough for me
03:57 Stoyanov trying to keep the gloves tight up close
04:11 yeah taking a few more risks up now though Stoyanov yes I can see the the high guard
04:16 trying to block the shots but still he's just getting a little bit closer up to Ali trying
04:22 to land a big punch but he's risking it doing that and gotta watch what he's doing if he
04:27 employs those tactics because Ali's skillful remember and will fancy that type of contest
04:32 Ali has three of his five wins inside the distance including the last one in January
04:41 against the Iko Gosevich who was pulled out at the end of the first round
05:06 good work there from Ali I think Stoyanov his feet are probably a little bit too slow he's a
05:11 little bit too static at this stage and Ali there poking away he's getting a response from Stoyanov
05:17 who occasionally going forward and Ali come back there with a couple of good counters and again
05:22 so Stoyanov's got a various approach here the feet a little bit too slow for me
05:26 but he uses height and reach a little bit better than what he's doing
05:34 so
05:43 see that's not too bad from Stoyanov there that's what he's got to be doing
05:50 using that jab of his don't neglect the jab the orthodox fighter should never neglect a jab
05:55 against the side door that's good from Ali downstairs but a couple of good straight shots
06:00 from Stoyanov earlier yeah those body shots really thud home when they find the target
06:05 from Ali as they're switching the attack to the head with that left hand
06:11 just gone through the gears a little bit here as Ali John which has suited him Stoyanov when
06:19 he slows it down a little bit and it seems to suit him better but Ali there just went through
06:24 the gears up the pace and had some success just his best little spell of the fight so far
06:30 closing seconds of the second Richie gave the opener to Khalid Ali and I think he's won this
06:45 second more emphatically as we come to the bell to end the second round and Ali finishing it on the front foot
06:53 a second fight of the night here at a packed your call and Khalid Ali well for me he took that second
07:07 round to add to the first the close the first round was a lot closer but this second round for
07:12 me yeah Ali went through the gears and had a real good spell towards the end of the round and
07:16 for me clearly won the round Khalid Ali incidentally trained by Lionel Omar who looked after him during
07:25 his time at the Repton Club followed him into the pro ranks good coach well Omar he's brought a few
07:36 boxes up to GB for sparring in the past and yeah decent kids that he produces
07:40 classic case here Stoynov got to concentrate on straight punching whereas Ali closing the gap
07:54 more short of mid more mid-range shots from him and he's having more success well he felt that one
08:02 yeah and because Stoynov is slowing those feet right down now a bit of a sit-in duck trying to
08:06 keep the hands high and elbows tucked in but the movement is not there from Stoynov and Ali's
08:11 working well now and there'll be a cumulative effect from those big body shots that he's starting to land
08:17 i really hear them thud home when from our position sitting here at ringside
08:26 so
08:34 again big right hand
08:48 bad position to be in there for someone i've got to move off them ropes look at the feet they come
08:53 square then his body comes square onto his opponents and that's when he's going to get
08:57 picked off he's trying to stay at bay but he it's his feet John that's letting him down they're far
09:04 too slow and Ali there is just able to close the gap with a bit of speed and there's the target
09:09 that he's got to move and if those body shots land like there and the gloves come low then the target's
09:16 going to open up and Ali will be looking to exploit it nice uppercut inside and he's starting
09:22 to let the punches go and a little bit of unsteadiness in the legs of Stoynov as he
09:27 staggered back from that attack but then comes back well off the ropes good exchanges yeah great
09:33 exchange there and he seemed to be in full throttle as he went in Stoynov but Stoynov
09:38 just came back at him didn't he so that wasn't too bad for him either but a good round from Ali up
09:44 to now again going through those gears working the body well closing the gap down with a bit of speed
09:51 and then switching the attack from body to head
09:53 oh good shot again he's dominating this round Ali
10:03 he's not a one huge punch ko type Ali but he has got solid power in those punches good power and
10:16 he's got good skills he's building the momentum here this is pretty impressive i think from Ali
10:21 good round and another one for Ali it's three out of three
10:25 goes back into the corner with his coach Lionel Omar
10:29 good work here from from Ali back a little left uppercut on the inside there Stoynov then sat on
10:45 these ropes good work there to the body and then switches the attack to the head these were good
10:50 shots from Ali Stoynov came back at one point but then walks onto a couple of good shots there
10:55 so he's taking risks by walking forward gets caught
10:58 thank you appreciate it
11:08 Aaron Woodcock working on that Stoynov damage around the left eye
11:13 pick that up to very early stage in the fight
11:20 the halfway stage and Ali well on Richie's guard and I concur three rounds out of three
11:27 so
11:39 so
11:52 we've already seen Dennis McCann at ringside headline act for the first time tonight up against
12:06 Yonat Baluta very experienced Romanian for the vacant WBO intercontinental super bantamweight
12:13 title bookies have got McCann as a big favorite four to one on but there are plenty of people who
12:21 know their boxing who think that Baluta is in with a real chance in that main event he's in
12:26 with a real chance if if Dennis McCann boxes the wrong contest but uh I agree with the bookies
12:33 he's a big favorite if he boxes right and boxes with safety in mind then he beats him for the
12:37 if he trades then who knows
12:39 Ali's starting to get on top again here now in this fourth round
12:47 pace has just slowed a little bit and that's actually suiting Stoynov trying to work his jab
12:55 so Ali here just covering up Stoynov trying to get through nothing's getting through there though
13:02 but when Ali ups the pace then Stoynov really can't cope with Ali going through them gears
13:19 so
13:27 you see people fanning themselves out there in the audience
13:38 not surprised they don't have the luxury of a thermometer here at ringside but it's pretty warm
13:44 Richie yeah it is indeed the lights over the ring make it a little bit warmer
13:50 oh lovely work that was nice there lovely counter punching from Ali
13:58 see Stoynov's job's getting a little bit slower now he's taking a few shots and he's just slowing
14:07 down slightly especially with his lead hand and that will be his downfall any slow jabs that come
14:12 out from him that's going to allow Ali then to come back with fast counters as we've just seen so
14:16 slowing down slightly here Stoynov and if it's that lead hand that's slow that could be a problem
14:21 chance of Ali Ali coming up from the crowd
14:26 meanwhile I've wondered where he got to and there he is Yonup Baluta arriving here a few moments ago
14:37 and ready for action in our main event looks a bit feisty at the way in there were a few
14:44 interesting exchanges the nice way of putting it well you know Baluta will carry that into the
14:50 ring and get Dennis McCann to stand and trade with him and have a real war with him that'll be on
14:56 his mind tonight so yes he's a Baluta's a tough tough kid and yeah there are a lot of people here
15:02 that think he could do it I'd go for McCann but I wouldn't rate him as a four to one on favourite
15:14 sticks to the tactics listens to his corner
15:17 so
15:25 so
15:52 let's see what Ali's doing here John just staying on the outside just picking and poking with his
15:56 jab he actually wants Stoynov to throw a shot he's acting as a counter puncher here on the
16:01 outside and then he's coming back with fast shots Stoynov gotta watch what he's doing here Ali can
16:08 go through those gears we've seen it but that jab of his is good also but he just wants a response
16:14 from Stoynov that's why he's doing that on the outside he's got a lot of friends and supporters
16:19 here has to take a right hand in close there and Stoynov trying to build on that less punch he's
16:26 thrown for a little while the Ali fans would really like to see him as Richie likes to say
16:32 go through the gears and really put it on Stoynov in the remaining time
16:47 a bit better work again from Stoynov really going for it a couple of good shots problem
16:54 there was he didn't get his hands back back up on guard too quickly just got caught with a
17:02 shot there nevertheless going for it with some big big shots Stoynov here yeah a bit of blood on the
17:08 face of Ali I can't see whether or not that's come from that damaged eye of Stoynov or whether
17:14 indeed it's some of the punches that he's been able to throw which have perhaps damaged the nose of Ali
17:21 lovely counter there yeah lovely that wasn't it neat
17:28 again all off that slow jab from Stoynov
17:37 there's another good right hand from Ali
17:39 the accuracy of those counters are what's impressing I think he's shown a good variety
17:52 here as Ali's working well on the outside does his best work at mid-range though and he's more
17:57 dangerous there nevertheless he's shown his boxing skills always boxing from the center of the ring
18:03 also shows he's been well schooled
18:08 last 10 seconds of the round you hear the oh my goodness and he's gone down well that has come
18:25 right at the end of the round the count continues is he going to get up he gets up okay the referees
18:31 having a good look at him wants to make sure he's okay and thank goodness he's got a minute to
18:36 recover because if he hadn't got it that could very quickly have been curtains well that was
18:42 incredible wasn't it on the ropes there Stoynov and just throws a straight left hand let's have
18:48 a look at it here it's on the ropes right hand left and it's a reverse one two starts off with
18:53 the right finishes with the left we call that reverse one two and that left hand was banged
18:57 on the button that has changed the contest round completely what a shot that was well Ali had to
19:05 be well ahead on points but that's going to go down as a 10-8 round to Stoynov and the big question
19:11 now is how well will he recover and one more round to go just to show you John you cannot get
19:21 complacent in this game it looked as though he just had to see it through to the final bell
19:28 and now those three minutes to his supporters and to the man himself will feel like a long time
19:35 Stoynov will fancy it yeah who could see that coming most of the rounds have been one-way traffic
19:42 Stoynov has got one round himself now to try and get a stoppage here and Ali again doesn't look
19:48 too steady on his feet now how well has he recovered and the way he stumbled back there
19:52 makes you think perhaps not as well as you would have wished Stoynov never had a stoppage victory
20:00 three wins in eight contests is he going to be able to find one more big shot or Stoynov I don't
20:07 know what he's doing he's got to get on the front foot and just keep coming forward and push Ali
20:12 Ali still clearly not recovered completely but Stoynov again is going back into that that shell
20:19 if you like and certainly a slow pace now he's on the front foot this is this will be better for him
20:24 but every few seconds which he laps then Ali will regroup his senses will return and his
20:33 punch resistance will improve heads going in Ali going in with his head and the referee
20:40 maybe going to have a word about that no these aren't good signs are they from Ali he's clearly
20:47 tiring and tired and he's not recovered stumbled to the ground
20:53 and the refs having a close look at him
20:58 and he's suggesting that he's got to keep his work tidy or he'll take points away
21:06 he's all over the place here Khalid Ali just got to pop the jab and move if not get up close and
21:14 just hold the opponents and try and get away with things there you go till the referee comes in
21:17 crowd trying to raise Ali
21:21 but to hit a move when you're tired yet that's difficult but clearly
21:27 that one shot has taken so much out of Ali
21:33 only a youngster only 22 only a sixth pro outing but there is clearly a lot to work on
21:40 Stoyanov going looking for the one big shot yeah he's just throwing everything at it now
21:49 slowly enough trying to catch Ali with one more big shot leaving himself open at times but
21:54 nevertheless he's got long levers and he's launching them from everywhere to try and land
22:00 that big one Stoyanov waving him in Ali won't be suckered in by that he's got too much now
22:07 for that to be the case last 20 seconds
22:12 an incredible turnaround and clearly again Stoyanov's round this
22:20 well that was the most dramatic moment of the fight that knockdown near the end of the fifth
22:28 that Stoyanov has not been able to repeat it lands a solid right turn there and Ali just holds on
22:35 sees it through Stoyanov raises his arms but for us it was a little bit too late the turnaround
22:44 and Ali even if Stoyanov wins that last round Ali we think maybe just has his nose ahead
22:51 just got over the line hasn't he but I think Stoyanov has won the last round he really went
22:56 for it Ali was extremely tired and got caught towards the end of the round again this is
23:02 the knockdown there's that reverse one two right and then finishes on the left it's a cracking
23:10 combination and uh I don't know I mean the fitness seemed to just drain away from Ali
23:16 and in the last round Stoyanov just came for it again the knockdown here what a shot that was and
23:22 talk about one punch that changes the whole complexion of the yeah can change the whole
23:27 complexion of the contest it's what keeps us addicted to this crazy old sport one punch
23:34 sometimes is all it takes on our card I think I'm right saying Richie we've got it to Carly and Ali
23:41 by one point one point yeah I think we have John what an exciting fight who's won it that's the
23:50 question and Dev Shani is poised to deliver the answer
23:54 ladies and gentlemen after six rounds of boxing your referee Sean McAvoy scores the contest
24:05 57 56 to your winner from Brick Lane Carly the Bengal Tiger Ali
24:19 referee agreed with us but I think there's a fairly sizable sigh of relief in there
24:28 from the Brick Lane youngster his fans
